today a 7 year old at work asked me if I was a boy or a girl and I said I'm actually neither and one of the other kids said "so you're nothing???" and I went "yep I'm nothing. isn't that crazy?" and I heard my coworker snort lmao

Looked through the She-Ra tag and immediately found someone who thought Catra didn’t deserve a redemption arc .

I thought we went through this already with Azula’s poorly handled end.

SHE IS A TEENAGE GIRL.

A TEENAGER.

an ABUSED teenager at that. ABUSED. A lot of people react with extreme anger and withdrawal when they are abused and abandoned over and over again!!!

Also it is a CARTOON. Not everyone is going to be horribly gruesomely punished and ostracized like someone who got canceled on twitter for fuck’s sake! The whole POINT of the show is that friends, family, love and connection are what make us strong.

And it’s reiterated over and over and over again throughout the WHOLE SHOW that the Rebellion are KIND and FORGIVING people. And while yes, Catra may not have been “punished enough” by the people she hurt… she also paid so many high prices for what she did. And ultimately sacrificed herself even when she could’ve benefitted from just following along the next big bad.

Anyways thinking abt how Miles’s monologue to his not-Mom at the end really reflects how it feels to be a POC queer and not feel like you belong even in your own community having to keep secrets that hurt everyone yourself included and wanting so desperately to be supported by people like you only to realize they won’t support you either (sans Hobie, Margo and Pavitr - other teens of color) so you seek refuge in the place you grew up in only to realize you still don’t belong there either

I finished If We Were Villains!

the first two acts were kinda good,the characters were confusing,considering the larger cast(7characters) but as it kept going it became more of a 3 person cast with two chiming in from time to time and one of them could've not been there and it wouldn't have made much of a difference,which is a shame

Story wise I loved the idea,how it flowed and the unique way of incorporating theater and stage play in the book,which is kind of hard if you think about it. Though as the story progressed,especially towards the end,it became a bit boring and predictable,like the author was a bit in a rush and tried to check off boxes. As if the author had written out scenes but couldn't figure out how to put them together at the end

BUT it's still a good book. I enjoyed it! It's a good read for when you think you're about to hit a reading slump or when you want something quick and fun to read. Usually I go for more "deeper" books,or straight up classics,not because I'm pretentious,I just like to analyse and theorize the hell out of a book(which I can do with The Secret History,with works by Dostojewski,etc.) and to not think and scrutinize over every page was definetly different

So all in all,I recommend it :D

To be honest i dont agree with the whole "rr is homophobic for saying percy is straight" thing

[gloriousmonsters]

was making an annoyed joke about people who are like 'velvette is like vox and val's daughter!!' by saying that 'yeah, it's super normal to call your father 'darling' and give him kisses through the phone' and my housemate just Looked at me and I was like well ok. fair. In Valentino's world that is completely normal, but statistics out of Val's porn studio are outliers that should not be counted

“There is no fanfic on Stephs treatment I have checked” that’s like the whole point.

[ofpd]

it's very funny whenever i see ppl talk about les mis as an old fixation from years ago when they were younger bc like this just happened to me in 2023 when i was 20 years old. in some ways being into les mis as a kid/younger teenager is such a specific fun vibe but i cant imagine what it would've been like... like i wouldve been crazier in both correct and incorrect ways

[wild-at-mind]

Had a really stupid conversation via minor emotional breakdown with a queer friend about what makes an LGBTQ person 'assimilist'. From what she said I'm kind of forced to draw the conclusion 'if you say you're not assimilist, then you're not'.

Idk who needs to hear this, I know I do, but if you have a coochie and are Non-binary. You are not a woman. You are not just an confused girl or woman adjacent. You don’t owe any one gender ambiguity or neutrality. Your tits and hips do not make you less non-binary. You are non-binary not a woman. And if women try to push you into their spaces or treat you like just one of the girls tell those bitches to get back to the kitchen because you are not one of their “girlies”

[m4ndysk4nkovich]

fyi: if you’re a straight “ally” and in a relationship with someone who you know is homophobic, you’re not an ally.
