taco i’ll save you from the mischaracterizations on tumblr….

its funny how the episodes point is literally to show that she isn’t a heartless monster and actually feels remorse for her actions but people are like NO!!!! SHES MANIPULATING EVERYONE. EVERY SINGLE ACTION SHE COMMITS HAS MALICIOUS ULTERIOR MOTIVES BEHIND THEM! like… no…. did we watch the same episode… you guys are blinded by hatred of a fictional character so badly you cannot consume the media as intended. i’m not excusing her actions or saying she DIDN’T fuck up badly but oh my god. you lot are missing the point of how the her entire arc is headed (in point of giving taco redemption) SHE LITERALLY DIEEEDDDD BECAUSE OF THE SHEER INTENSITY OF HER EMOTIONS AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING SHE DIDNT CAAAREEEE

ALSO also THERES LITERALLY SYMBOLISM WITH THE CRACK SHE HAD!!!!! -hand gesture- you know. avoiding all of her problems and deflecting them. in terms of the events of leading up to the manner it got inflicted. her outer facade beginning to collapse. she kept on suffering from it which literally caused her to shatter. but after she got regenerated she doesn’t have it anymore. literally a metaphor for growth and healing!!! hear me out on this one

not gonna say anything drastic but it is funny how people love male characters for the same exact negative traits taco exhibits.. yet.. hm

i understand that ... the whole. everything. that fanon t*mkon does is super annoying, but the way some people push back against it by insisting that tim and kon weren't close before tt03/the geoff retcon is so funny (read: annoying) to me. this is simply not true ♥ so here, have a brief, nonexhaustive list of examples of tim and kon's friendship from kon's side:

tim is kon's second choice for "who to learn nonpowered fighting from" when he loses his powers (sb94 #76).

when he has a power spike and freaks himself out with his own strength (dismantling every single gun in los angeles), tim is the person he turns to to seek comfort and advice (sb94 #85). (and also to bother him because "bothering tim" seems to be one of his hobbies.)

he refers to tim as his "ex-best friend" after their fight on apokolips (sb94 #92).

like... you don't have to ship them. you can be very annoyed with the way fanon has warped their relationship. but to suggest that they didn't actually have any sort of close bond before tt03 is... rather egregiously not true? and just feels like a spite response to me. idk man. they have very clearly been good friends for a long time, before geoff had anything to do with them.

The lab equivalent of visiting the neighbors to borrow a cup of sugar is visiting the next lab over because you need to borrow a jug of UP water.

Thank you, Bridgerton, for showing me a lot of people are functionally illiterate and can't understand the actual point even when they - full chested - exclaim: Womanizer Colin feels weird, cringe.

I feel like people rarely talk about how Yoosung WAS being gaslit about Rika’s death when he knew something was wrong and everyone consistently said he was paranoid when he WASN’T. He was never allowed the chance to properly grieve and air out his (correct) issues with V and the shit surrounding Rika’s “death” until MC joins the RFA.

haven’t watched the flash in like 100 years but got jumpscared by someone posting westallens “we’re the flash scene” and complaining about it. the post had like thousands of likes and i just sit there for a moment confused (not really, everyone knows why they’re really mad) about what was so outrageous about that scene to begin with???

all iris is literally telling barry is that he doesn’t have to face things alone, that they will always find a way to face whatever problem/enemy that may come. she is comforting and being there for her soulmate and husband-to-be???

but no, you’ll have dumbass #1 and #2 commenting things like “ok iris you go fight the reverse flash then”, completely missing the point of the scene because their own hatred for iris is apparently much stronger than their media literacy ig

(tw: proshipping & pedophilia)

opening the abigail tag on ao3 and seeing a proshipping fic between abigail and joey | anna-maria ruined my day, maybe even my entire week actually.

how can someone miss or straight up ignore the point of the fucking movie this hard.

there’s absolutely no ambiguity about abigail and joey | ana lucia’s bond and their last interaction in the movie. there’s nothing up for interpretation. no shades of grey.

if you interpret their relationship as anything other than platonic (frenemies/reluctant allies to possibly actual allies) and/or found family, you either have the worst media literacy skills in the entire world or you need to have your computer drive checked by the fbi or both.

its very funny to see how easy it is to piss off tiktok. that comic i made about you shouldnt tell a lesbian to draw less lesbians is like a month old and im still getting comments fuming about it.

"summerween" it's called hexenacht you historically illiterate dweebs

'historically illiterate dweebs' is too quality of an insult to not publish, also can you share more information on hexenacth? I can tell it's 'night of the witches' in german, but, where I live, halloween is called 'night of the witches' as well! Does germany have an extra summer halloween I didn't know about? Or is this still about gravity falls? Please share the historical lore.

looking back. half of the discourse topics in this fandom were so fucking stupid lmao

genshin fans need to learn the difference between power and strength, especially when it comes to the question of “who is the strongest archon?” or “who is the most powerful archon?”

for EXAMPLE: i say that zhongli is the strongest archon. that doesnt mean i believe he’s the most powerful.

strength ≠ power.

“zhongli and murata are the strongest archons” and “venti is the most powerful archon” are two statements that can and should coexist.

strength relates to physical prowess. power relates to how much control you have over something/authority.

genshin fans pls learn the difference‼️‼️

also we know from nahida that an archon’s power (not strength) comes from the faith of the people.

i rest my case here thank you

Still thinking about that time I made the mistake watching the blood ridge clip from Rickternal Friendshine on youtube (I think when adult swim first uploaded it so all the comments were fresh), and all the straight guys of the fandom had the audacity to try and claim that Rick wasn't propositioning a relationship with BP or that he totally didn't want a romantic (and likely deeply sexual) relationship with the man.

Like, my brother in christ HE SPELLED IT OUT FOR MEMORY RICK AND THE VIEWER THAT EPISODE, PLUS RICK ISN'T EVEN REMOTELY STRAIGHT, HOW IS THIS NOT CLICKING FOR YOU??

I'm glad it's mostly sensible people now that it's sorted by top comments, but I was literally so pressed by the sheer audacity of those guys that I wrote a like 10 paragraph analysis comment on the video explaining how in no uncertain terms rick was in love with BP... and STILL had someone say "ok but not to marry him"

I gotta be honest, the ending of JJK isn’t doing it for me. It feels underwhelming. And before anyone freaks tf out and tells me that I “can’t read” or that I “didn’t understand the point of JJK” I can promise you that I did. I understand and I can read between the lines and make inferences. I can also promise you that I know just because the ending isn’t my cup of tea, does not mean that the ending is objectively bad. I get all of that.

And yet, I still think the execution was fumbled and I think that’s a bummer. In a desperate need to be *different* from the rest of Shonen manga, I think the last 10-15ish chapters have felt incredibly similar to the rest of the genre. At least, in my opinion they have.

Argue with the wall if this post pissed you off. I’m allowed to post my opinion on my blog.
