#A true disservice

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

the way some of you talk about mental illness is fucking insane actually like some of you genuinely want to commit eddie diaz to the asylum for hysteria like this is the 1800s simply because you don't like him what is wrong with you skaksjskas so sorry this fictional character is simply too complex for you that you would rather fucking lobotomise him but personally i love him this way

went to respond to a post in my usual um actually— ☝️🤓 fashion but managed to accidentally refresh the app somehow instead of clicking rb.... so sad that the universe would hit me with a counterspell like tht. anyway. will byers IS a crybaby (said affectionately and proudly) and he does cry frequently both because his life fucking sucks and because he's very empathetic and sensitive and so easily moved by others. if he cried any more frequently than he already does then his eyes would just be wet 24/7. it's okay to admit this and we don't need to counteract a stupid asshole's "he's such a whiny crybaby i hope he dies 🙄" takes with objectively incorrect statements like "will hardly cries." like cmon man....

i think it's really funny when people look at Everything about riven and conclude that he just hates all rich people when his best friend is literally Rich Boy McGee

one thing i really like about decade is that it’s the bit where you see the most of samira as a character because so much of it is up to her interpretation so Sooooo much of it is like. Well why do you think that samira. Huh. Huh?

You know it’s illiteracy when people start trying to seriously apply poetic and emotional love to Sukugo like it’s not one sided entirely

The Inescapable Professor finally takes a break from grinding Hinterland Prosperity to come back to London only to immediately go out to Zee to do some Whale-Watching before anyone can say even welcome them home.

Deepest apologies to anyone trying to send the Professor letters or calling cards right now but the escorting of an ancient Whale to the proverbial farm in the sky/zee comes first

Every once in a while, I'd remember @spiritpyro's Hayate mentioning in his internal monologue that he likes everything about Vivian, including even her personality and her speech patterns, which to this day, makes me emotional, because as a character, Vivian has gone through a lot... from characters getting pissed off at her for saying the wrong thing (thereby ending a thread prematurely) to characters outright not getting her humour and claiming she's unkind, even though it hadn't been her intention to offend them.

Granted, I don't really treat those as canon occurrences, because I'm not really a single verse blog, so any interactions from partners who have broken mutuals with me/deactivated/didn't follow me on my remade blog are null and void (meaning as far as Vivian is concerned, they have never occurred and will no longer be referenced in any threads/headcanon posts except for this one), but at the same time, I will lay in bed at night sometimes... and have this startling revelation that the way Vivian had been treated remarkably mirrors the experiences of most autistic people I've read about/heard from. Honestly, it's astounding to me how many on Reddit would describe similar struggles/feelings she also has, to the point where even though the RPC has a general distaste for slice-of-life muses, I still take comfort in the fact she is at least relatable.

Like, yeah, I might not be the most descriptive/poetic writer on this godforsaken site, but in my opinion, my characterization is where my writing truly shines best... and so, Hayate catching feelings for Vivian (despite me portraying both her flawed and endearing sides as a young, neurodivergent woman in her early twenties) is such a memorable thing to me, that I would find myself occasionally thinking about it even while I'm at work. I mean, granted, Vivian is nowhere near as dysfunctional as the main female lead from Asper Kanojo (That's My Atypical Girl), but it cannot be denied she is still very hard to love... to the point where Hayate pretty much fell out of love with her in an alternate universe.

Either way, it honestly hurt me on a deep, visceral level when Hayate was like, 'Fucking think before you speak', when they fought that one time, because autistic people will commonly be told that at some point in their lives... furthermore, Vivian had to hear that from someone she loves, so I can only imagine how betrayed she must have felt, especially since she already tries super hard when it comes to explaining things from her point of view and can only process her thoughts when speaking them due in part to her disability.

At the same time, though, it also makes me think that in the event Vivian and Hayate would romantically be together, this would realistically be a reoccurring issue within their relationship, where every time they would argue, she'd utter out stuff that would potentially annoy him, because according to Hayate, Vivian probably doesn't put a lot of thought into her words... so there would be instances where she would view him as an absolute alien. Still, knowing Vivian, I could also see the aftermath of their fights being one of those rare, few moments where she would wish she was more normal; after all, if she happened to be less difficult, Hayate might actually become less frustrated with her.

Since this is Hayate we're talking about, however, I could also see him potentially researching autism a bit more and slowly reaching a point where he would better understand Vivian, but either way, their relationship is one I always have fun, psycho-analyzing, because it's between an unpredictable, misanthrophic man and a manic, neurodivergent woman.

revoking people’s right to talk about the tolstoy marriage until they write and turn in to me a ten page essay on complex relationships

i’m new to sunny and I’m not even caught up but I watched s16 x 01 anyway (so that I could enjoy macdennis gifs as they come), and I’ve spent all this time seeing lots of simultaneous love and frustration regarding this show and how it handles the gang and it’s original vibe and macdennis especially, but…. this was so gay?? they make dennis so fruity ?? macdennis clearly best friends w emphasis on how they live together? the vibe fit the vibe of the seasons I’ve seen so far (up to 8) like it felt pretty solidly continuous and funny and evil found family and everything. i’m so happy

remember that one post thats like "yeah there are gay characters in disco elysium. but if you want to play the game just because there are gay characters in it, this is not the game for you" and thats exactly how i feel about black sails

[blackpearlblast]

honestly i feel like the staunchly pro-biden liberals in the us are operating on similar logic to the liberal zionist movement as a whole. "yeah i don't like what they're doing to palestinians but if we don't continue to empower them how will i be safe?" whether they are jewish or lgbt they both see their marginalized identity as a reason to forsake solidarity in exchange for conditional safety built off of violence.
