once again i ask of you to please stop looking towards celebrities and influencers for political commentary and their takes on catastrophic and inhumane world events and to instead focus your attention on experts, journalists and world leaders

Remember those times when you could say your thoughts about topics without getting death threaths? I wish those times could come back.
Fandom was a healthy and safe place years ago, why did it have to change????

"Any assessment of the emotional component of the reconciliation of [Empress Matilda and Geoffrey of Anjou] remains speculation: the chroniclers are silent on the issue of whether [they] grew to love, hate, or like each other. We do know, from their movements and actions, that Matilda and Geoffrey eventually arrived at a businesslike arrangement with a united viewpoint toward the dynastic, geopolitical goals that had dictated their marriage in the first place."
"Matilda and Geoffrey effectively transitioned from a Divide and Rule model to a Collaborative Union from 1144 onwards, in which they worked together throughout their marriage to ensure rulership over their territories and gained their rightful lands, as well as ensuring the inheritance for their children. Matilda and Geoffrey’s political partnership can effectively be argued as the most successful through applying different models of rulership. Ultimately the Plantagenets regained Matilda’s inheritance through Henry, conquered Normandy, and produced several male heirs."
Charles Beem, The Lioness Roared: The Problems of Female Rule in English History / Gabrielle Storey, Co-Rulership, Co-operation and Competition: Queenship in the Angevin Domains, 1135-1230

Maybe a little overly serious approach to the situation, but y'all have GOT to be more respectful towards the creators you watch and consume content for. fWhip's message about getting a lot of hate is honestly abysmal.
Like, don't get me wrong, I love lore-related series! I think they're a lot of fun and I love watching them.But give non-lore series a chance! They're also a lot of fun!
These creators are all responsible adults who are very capable of creating boundaries for themselves and deciding amongst themselves what rules they want to follow when joining a project.
Obviously, there are many viewers and community members who this isn't directed at. :D
Please don't send hate to anyone, it's not helpful. If you don't like something, don't engage with it. Just leave it at that. Show respect to the community you're apart of, and to the creators that head it.
(It's fine to be annoyed with something and talk about it, but don't force a creator to see that negativity. It's not benefiting anyone.) The more hate a creator gets, the less they engage with and organize fun things for the community. Please remember to be kind.

I don't usually make posts like this, but please don't send death threats to ANYONE. It doesn't matter if they ship or headcanon something you don't, there's NEVER a situation where this is okay. If you don't like the ship or headcanon, just ignore, block, and move on. There is no reason to act this way towards someone. If you harass people, especially over matters like these, unfollow and block me.

new jacob geller video is good but the problem is that The City is not the same as the other art in the video. it is through its nature as a physical piece just a continuation of settler colonialism. he does touch on it but only a little and it really does change the context of the piece. and no art can exist without context, unfortunately. you can say that it being art about colonialism by doing it makes it more interesting but it does make it damaging in a way other art isn't.

still baffles me when you have conservatives calling stuff like facebook DA LIBRAL MEDIA THAT SILENCES US because like you can report a dude literally posting hitler and facebook will just go "this is fine and doesn't go against our community standards teehee however we've noticed you said the word 'man' 30 weeks ago ? Banned."

It’s wild to me to see people bully someone until they respond less than perfectly and then mock them for their response. Like, y’all do know that’s classic bullying behavior, right? Hell, my abuser did that to me. He’d verbally abuse me, then, when I got upset, sometimes he’d pretend it was all a joke. And he’d continue to mock me.
Again, so many people showing their asses right now.
