deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

gonna throw my 2 cents in on this current Fandom Topic;

You cannot give in to resentful isolation. I'm serious.

Even if your last attempts went badly you have to keep trying. You have to make mistakes to learn from them. You have to find out who's worth your time and who you click with somehow, and you can only do that by Doing It Scared.

I fall into those mindsets, a lot. They suck. They're powerful and overwhelming and painful. I have to fight with myself and repeat over and over, No, you know your friends care about you. They've SAID that.

And I have to do this all the time. In minor and major ways.

Do It Scared. Try. If you feel like you've failed? Try again. There are ways to build self confidence but you have got to start with letting yourself feel confident any little way possible.

Don't give in to resentful isolation, that will only hurt you.

We all have bad brain days, weeks, or months.

Fandom will be waiting for you.

If you've started to treat fandom like a vending machine where lore/fanfic/art/screenshots go in and compliments come out, you should take a break.

i love romantic killer because every headcanon you can have about the characters is good and correct. anzu is aro, ace, bi, and lesbian all at the same time. riri has every gender and none at all. anzu/tsukasa/junta(/hijiri, even ryuya maybe) are found family, queerplatonic partners, and in a polyamorous relationship all at once. literally any interpretation works and is enjoyable because of how solid these characters and their relationships are built.

confession circle of course I want to be friends <3 (this one got a little angstier than normal but like, not seriously)

weird headcannon: sokka and katara are masters at harmonizing together and as kids they used to do it all the time for fun, but as they got older everyone would ask them to do it (because sokka was the only young boy, he was the only one with the range who didn't need to gasp for breath every stanza) and they fell out of practice.

Zuko doesn't sing, but he vividly remembers his mother's lullabies and finding out sokka can sing sends him vaguely spiralling. First off- it's amazing, wow, so talented, literally stunning. But also... Sokka can sing, can keep his culture alive through his voice, sing the ship's songs and the idle songs and the warrior's songs meant to keep people focused. But all Zuko has ever known was a lullaby and he can't even sing that.

of course sokka learns the lullaby (maybe from iroh) and helps zuko feel like he's allowed to sing along, like he's allowed to participate even if he isn't perfect, even if all it does is bring him a little bit of peace

DEAREST JULESSONGS WE CAN BE FRIENDS 🧡 as for your headcanon OHMYGOD sokka keeps his culture alive through his voice 😭😭 not crying at all 😭😭 BEAUTIFUL!! HARD REBLOG!! i imagine that after sokka coaxes zuko out of his shell, and reminds him that he doesn't have to be perfect at everything the first try (there's a lot of trauma to unpack there), and after a few months of sokka helping zuko calm down with the lullaby, he hears zuko singing to himself quietly in the room. or perhaps they sing together, and sokka softens his voice until he isn't heard, and zuko is so caught up in the emotions and the comfort he keeps singing and its the most beautiful thing sokka's ever heard. you got me thinking many thoughts.........

i love love love when some random person tries to ask me where i’m from and i don’t immediately clock what’s behind the question. just had this interaction with a lady on the bus where she complimented my college ring (normal) asked where i went to college (normal) asked where i’m from (normal in the context of this being an out of state college) and then goes “but you were born here?” and my stupid little positive-interpretations-only brain despite having had exact permutations of this conversation with multiple random strangers trying to figure out What It Is I Am thinks she’s asking if i was born in THIS STATE, jesus!!!! to which she responds “no i mean you were born in america, right?”

& then when she finds out i was born in america she immediately goes “well where are your parents from” y’all are not fucking slick. i told her my mom is from oakland 🥰 bc i have done this 20 times and i know how to drag the fuck out of this weird racist conversation. i’ve known you for two seconds. why do you feel like you have to ask whether i’m a Resident Citizen
