#basically what im saying is

[taus-inc]

people saying that blocking celebrities just means you're bitter abt them having money like... no ? it's not about people making money. it's about them not using their extensive resources to help people with none. then they wanna say it's an extension of cancel culture but again... no ? nobody is saying to outright cancel them but to understand that your attention can be put in a different place. these people have had so long to speak up and try to help the people of Palestine or Sudan or the Congo and they chose to put their time and effort into other things. now we will put our time and effort into other things !

and they will continue to be blocked by me even after they start raising awareness bc 1. ik their cult followers will stick w them no matter what anyone says or what they do so they'll always have some type of platform. 2. it gives me the ick that they only want to speak up when people start ignoring them like they ignored the genocide for so long.

What If… Namor & Ramonda Tried Something Different

BPWF HC… don’t judge me

I know it sounds crazy, I’m aware. But I’m also aware of Angela and Tenoch’s chemistry. And the tension on the beach?! Whew chile…

So like what if instead of popping up randomly like a malicious psycho at the river border during a grief ceremony, Namor came correct? What if he explained why he was mad and what Wakanda’s choice to go public meant for him and the people of Talokan?

It could start simple. He shows up at the river border which causes chaos obviously, but in the light of day, so it’s clear that he’s there to start a discourse.

Namor starts by explaining who tf he is. And his history, so we have a clear understanding of how similar Wakanda/Talokan really are. And how the invention threatens them both…

Namor asks Ramonda to find the scientist. Ya know, treating her like the queen she is an equal… Would be helpful if she could handle it for the safety of his people but mainly just neutralize the threat please

Ramonda agrees because she’s nice and reasonable when you’re not threatening her only remaining child

Shuri and Okoye go to get Riri and are a bit shocked when they find out she’s 19 because it’s fucking shocking she’s a child! And they don’t want to “neutralize” a child.

They take Riri back to Wakanda so we can talk to Namor again. The Bridge scene never happens (as much as I love it)… and Ramonda calls Namor and explains the sitch…

Namor uses his 500 year old brain and agrees that killing a child is both reprehensible and irrational. Because it will not stop people seeking vibranium nor will it protect Talokan, but an alliance between the two nations just might

And what better way to seal an alliance than with marriage?

something very jarring abt how anti-intellectualism manifests wrt “ableism” rhetoric. this is not to say that ableism isn’t real but sometimes ppl call things ableist as shorthand for “this thing does not sufficiently stoop down to my level” instead of acknowledging that there is more that they don’t know and can therefore, learn

when we talk about accessibility, we are talking abt making things available in different formats to ppl with different comprehension needs, not the dumbing down of every single word to less than 4 syllables. smth using complex language (or even academic language) to be precise does not inherently make it ableist oh my fucking god

iwtv has a lot of strengths, but the complexity of each character is completely astounding. every single one of them, lestat, louis, claudia and armand have done terrible things, and i can understand and empathise with the motivations and reasoning behind every single terrible decision. they all hurt each other in their own ways, they all have their own unhealed tragedy and weakness, and i love every single one of them so dearly. with no spoilers, this sort of characterisation is PERFECTED in episode 5. i genuinely dont think i could name a show that does complex characters quite like iwtc, because holy fuck man.

can't believe tom hiddleston ACTUALLY interrupted the interviewer to say "one last thing, i think mobius is loki's friend and i don't think loki has ever had a friend before" like king. i love how u felt the need to add that truly

Choose your character:

[Nikto] [König] -[Ghost]-

Simon Riley who has a chest so wide and hearty that it can just barely fit into the old button up shirt that he found just to meet up for your date. Sure the buttons were yellowing and the shirt stretched thin, if not transparent on his sides. But ah. He didn't really have any better options especially since he's asked you out somewhere fancy. He just doesn't wanna embarrass you. :(

And so it comes to no surprise to Simon that the shirt turns instantly transparent when he spilled his water. Just trying to get some hydration pre-date and here he was. Already making a fool of himself and you haven't even arrived!

Perfect timing for you though. A perfect view for the eyes, a fully flushed and flustered Ghost, trying not so shamefully to dry his shirt. Water already spreading down to his abdomen. The fabric sticking to his skin and detailing every inch of his skin, especially his chest in perfect view.

Dabbing at it with a dry tissue paper scrunched up in his hands, every light touch and caress just making the muscle of his chest bounce and dent. The softness making your mouth water as you approach him. Eyes widening pathetically as he notices you, tears brimming over his embarrassment yet his eyes struggle to avoid you. His blush escaping the mask as he tries to mumble off some random excuse of how he got his shirt wet. Not that you notice how he was already drooling too at the sight of you.

yeah like having to deal with the obnoxious middle aged women who thrift to resell wasn't bad enough, now we got the braindead fast fashion bozos cluttering things up too.

its ok shirt, i will love you like somebody else apparently couldn't even if you shed microplastics into the water supply and will fall apart after 7 wears. and then i'll sew you back together like anyone with two braincells to rub together Should

ultimately i think my insistence on aro positivity honestly is as much a political stance as a personal one.

when i say aro positivity is crucial and that i dislike doomer-ist posts that express sentiments like 'I hate being aro so much I wish I was dead instead’ it's not because I don’t think there can and should be a space for negativity and acknowledging self-hate, or the many ways being aromantic can really suck sometimes. i find that to be very important!

that being said. there is smth here about how self-hate posts are sometimes just arophobia that we inflict on ourselves. and when we put that out into the ether it (intentionally or not) can become arophobia that we inflict on other members of the community. i think there absolutely needs to be a place for negativity and the expression of anger and frustration and self loathing even - these are all good things to talk about because these are things that we experience. that being said, it can also be genuinely upsetting and triggering to people to have what is essentially arophobia shown to them and then have that be validated by other aspec people. your personal thoughts can affect your wider community on a level you may not anticipate. and i understand it i truly do! it took me so long to be able to recover from accepting being aroace - it threw my entire world off kilter and made me question everything about my place in the world.

but my insistence on aro joy and positivity is because ultimately i do believe that building is at the core essence of it all. that ultimately discussions and the purpose of community should be about construction, not destruction. and this is both a personal and a political stance. talking about how much you hate yourself and cultivating online discussions/spaces where negativity about aspec identity is the main and only theme is destructive - if that’s where we let the conversation end. these thoughts can and should be used as a vehicle to look for a path forward!

joy and positivity create a space where the focus can become on forging a path forward, on construction, on community building instead of tearing ourselves and others down with negative thoughts. it’s not productive or healthy when it stops at a place of negativity - it becomes actively destructive to the essence of community.

and i do think that this is especially poignant considering the fact that being any kind of queer, but especially aromantic (and/or asexual) means forging a path for yourself and making your own happiness where there is no obvious way forward. our communities exist mostly online (right now, anyway), there is little recognition of our existence in the real world, the effects of amatonormativity are both pervasive and actively dehumanising, and there are legal, economic and social structures in place actively making our lives more difficult. yes that all sucks! it’s good to acknowledge that. we need to in order to change it. but more importantly, that’s not the end. we are still here and our happiness, our future is for us to determine. even if we can’t change the laws or society, loving yourself and understanding aromanticism as a political identity (as well as personal), as a radical worldview, and as a protest against amatonormativity is essential for both community and personal well being. the personal is political.

tldr. i guess my point is that as a community, we should focus on building, improving, and nurturing ourselves and each other (construction) as opposed to destruction. we should recognise aromanticism and asexuality as political identities as well as personal ones and rely on community and self-love in the absence of anything else as a form of protest and political power. destruction (the recognition of everything that is wrong) is essential as a starting point - but where do we go from there? we rebuild.

one thing i personally enjoy thinking is what if grifter's bone is just some regular ass band in this universe. and with no slaughter influence, they're just a kind of niche indie punk band generally regarded as "bad" but with a very dedicated small fanbase that doesn't take itself too seriously. what if alice owns grifter's bone merch
