#it was just such a blatant; blatant lie

[fingertipsmp3]

I think the weirdest lie I’ve been told by a pathological liar was when this friend I had in secondary school told us all she got kicked out of her house and was living in like a random shed and didn’t have access to a bathroom or electricity, and everyone was somehow believing her, and I was just looking at her like.. your hair is straightened, teeth brushed, you washed your face and you smell of soap

when kaeya was a kid his most exacerbated reaction to getting hurt was a very pointed "ow" and one tear at most. meanwhile when diluc got hurt he would wail and sob and sniffle around all day afterwards. and yknow what i think that their essence hasn't changed now that they're adults. kaeya who says "this doesn't.. look good.." when he dies in game and diluc who says "my flame.....has been..extinguished....." like okay. we still know who's the most dramatic out of the two

astarion stans who refuse to try befriending or even romancing anyone else are the most annoying mfs. "I only romance astarion I just can't relate to the other stories" really? you can't relate to gales deep self loathing? his deep love and loyalty for those he cares about? you can't relate to wylls kind heart and desire to always do good, even if it means he's miserable? can't relate to shadowheart blindly following a god, only to learn the truth and reinvent herself? you can't relate to lae'zel or karlach who were lied to and used as weapons their whole lives, but continue to push on even when they're scared? you can't relate to the overarching theme of authority vs autonomy???

it's not difficult, it's just people refusing to appreciate and explore the game to its fullest bc their manipulative sexy vampire is all they need(something astarion actually loathes being seen as btw). but ok, you can be boring and do whatever you want, but don't lie and say the other stories are bad, because they're not. it's simply a lack of media literacy and critical thinking. because to you, if a character doesn't tell you point blank that they're aware of their situation, it's bad writing. missing the entire point that victims don't always realize the situation they're in. keep in mind astarion and karlach are the only ones who got away from their abusers, which is why they tell you clearly and confidently about what happened to them, fully aware that it was abuse. whereas the others give only their tunnel visioned perspective and speak highly of their deity(not caring about themselves, wish to appease them for something in return).

don't get me wrong (seriously, if I see one person misunderstand me I'm going to lose it) astarion is a good character, but people who only like him need to stop acting like he's the only complex and well written one. stop crying when people with brains call you out for being weird about his ascended ending. the game isn't about him. at least try and show some respect to those who worked hard on the game. make an oc and try new things, i promise the fictional vampire won't care if you don't romance him one run. have a drink with shadowheart, dance with wyll, go to a restaurant w karlach, maybe then you'll calm down.

I have never wanted to tell almost a whole entire fandom "I told you so", more in my entire life then I do at this exact moment!

( ⚠️Percy Jackson TV show spoilers under the cut! ⚠️)

The whole conversation between Grover, Chiron and Mr.D that happens outside of Percy’s POV in episode 2? Yeah, we’re gonna talk about that for a minute.

Because all I’ve been hearing and seeing from most people in the fandom now is that Chiron would "never lie to Percy". Well now we have explicit proof that Chiron was lying to Percy and was genuinely upset at the suggestion of just telling Percy very critical things that Percy should know!

Then let’s get to the fact that Chiron absolutely knew that Percy was at least Poseidons son, and that he knew that Percy would be the one to go on that quest for the bolt! And this whole conversation happens before Percy is claimed by Poseidon at capture the flag!!

If Chiron and the Gods aren’t allowing Percy to know things that he need to, or should know… how many other demigods have they done that to?

How many had Chiron sent off on quests only for them never to come back because they didn’t know what they needed to know??? Chiron isn’t this nice and friendly entity that genuinely cares about those kids. He is someone put in place by the gods to keep the powerful demigods who could possibly overthrow them if they were powerful enough and knew enough, under surveillance and under their control. This is also probably why, in the books, Chiron told Grover to not worry about bringing Annabeth and Luke to camp and only bring back Thalia. Because he believed that a mere daughter of Athena or Son of Hermes wouldn’t be powerful enough to overthrow the gods.

Chiron is not this great guy! He lies to the demigods so much and doesn’t seem to spare a second thought to what he’s doing.

for those of you who say izzy's redemption arc came out of nowhere, maybe you just weren't paying enough attention this past year to realize that it was always going to happen. if you look past your bias, you will notice david jenkins has always been pretty open about loving izzy's character, to the point he has told us to rewatch season 1 solely to pay more attention to izzy and his motives.

if you need to claim that the writers are catering to izzy fans' wishes, when most of the fandom hated him after season 1 to the point of calling his fans abuse apologists (among other things) and sending them death threats, maybe you need to sit with yourself and realize you just don't like this show and the message it tries to get across. it's a show that points out how everyone is worthy of love and acceptance, even when they've done awful things in the past (sound familiar?). what matters is the growth that comes afterwards.

one point i agree with is that izzy's character arc is rushed, but for different reasons. we all know that hbo max cut down on the show's budget and doesn't pay their writers properly, which is the whole reason why they reduced the cast and the episodes to 8 instead of 10. this season has been affected in more ways than one, it's not just izzy's arc. episode 7 is proof of that.

you don't have to like izzy, but it's stupid to claim he's irredeemable when every single character is a pirate and they've done terrible things to get to where they are. you don't need to keep on being stuck on episode 10 of season 1 and ignore everything that's happened since.

i guess what i'm trying to say is that all we ask is that you are minimally respectful to us, fans, and especially to the cast and writers, because without them ofmd wouldn't exist.

I just had a whole actual married, mother of two adult woman be the first person older than about 21 to actually accept the fact that I don't want to get married and be willing to talk through what that means for me, instead of trying to convince me that I'll change my mind as I get older. I'm going to fucking cry

[neomedievalist]

finding it hard to articulate this but i think the exclusion and othering of trans women thats so rampant on this site stems from the like, 10 year old idea that tumblr is a site only mentally ill women use, and then that idea sort of shifted as everyone started transitioning and now the image of an average tumblr user is like. a nonbinary/transmasc person . and then everyone started hating everyone who wasnt in that in-group

[borf-borfs]

the thing about tumblr is someone will make a post like ‘autistic/adhd people are stupid and use their disability as an excuse’ and you’re meant to find that funny and not be offended

guys such dramaaa is going down in my dancing group but due to my expert among us knowledge and experience, I have cracked the code entirely (NOT delusional). All this to say, I have officially decided that Hot Christian Boy is full of bullshit and potentially extremely immature lmaoooooo
