anyway i'm always fascinated by the people who think that trans men transition purely to escape misogyny and gain social capital. idk how it is for other people, but since i transitioned i have not only experienced more misogyny than i ever did before but also lost access to the public spaces and support systems that might have helped me deal with it

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

I think what all of you who are lowkey excited about the prospect of the show getting cancelled (???) don’t understand (or maybe you do and I’m giving you way too much credit here) is that all those fuckers who harassed and bullied a 12 year old girl off of social media for a year will come crawling right back out of the woodworks so they can gloat.

I’d rather have a “bad” show than subject Leah to that abhorrent racism again.

What sucks is that I can feel that a major split in the fandom is probably inevitable now

I guess this is doomposting but I can already see it happening

idk, I'm gonna support the workers in any case

I don't particularly care about the current argument over the union, it's pure distraction to shift the discussion away from the actual problems, as if anyone here actually cares about the union and not just what the union can possibly facilitate

But I do care about the employees and former employees of QSMP and they deserve respect and dignity and credit, not slander or vague passive-aggressive accusations

Which I've unfortunately seen even from people I know and care about, even people I follow or used to follow here on Tumblr, even people I consider friends

So, I feel like I should just be honest here, idk how I'm gonna handle this diplomatically in order not to burn too many bridges unnecessarily, because I don't actually want to lose people over this, but I do also have principles

I had no animosity towards Quackity before this, I hope you can see that from my blog history; I've never been a cc!Quackity hater. Unfortunately at this point I do need to see him do better than this, because his employees and former employees deserve better

If he does actually try to make it all up for them, if he actually talks to them with respect and a willingness to listen to their concerns and their experiences, then I have no more beef with him

I don't think he's a bad person, but he is doing a bad thing

That's all

Tired of this idea that Kakashi didn’t like anyone because he fully saw himself as a tool to the village.

He was still a child, no matter how much he believed he was to be used and rules to be followed he still needed social interaction. He still liked talking to his friends even if he didn’t consciously consider them friends.

Not to mention that some believe each relationship he has would be the same? Kakashi’s bond with Gai as a 12 year old is much different than his bond w Obito and for good reason.

Obito and Kakashi clashed because of their own philosophies and flaws (Kakashi being a stickler for rules, Obito not taking being a shinobi seriously etc). They barely got on as teammates and Obito did not respect Kakashi in any way while Kakashi thought little of him.

Gai and Kakashi didn’t have that kind of relationship because Gai is a different person than Obito. He was adamant in becoming a fine shinobi, working well together and pushing the people around him to be better. While his ways are different than Kakashi’s, he never clashed with him so negatively and never would.

Kakashi while initially didn’t think much of Gai when he and Sakumo met him, he clearly changed his views when his father told him to take Gai seriously and then Gai proved to him why he should.

Regarding the kataang week twitter "promotion" situation:

From where I stand, the issue is that 1) there was no communication with the kataang week mods (it seems if there had just been communication beforehand, nobody would have cared!), 2) that the account is not "promoting" the event, as the thread says verbatim that they are "hosting and overseeing" the event on twitter (oversight implies moderation - which would be a takeover of the event from the moderators who run the event on tumblr), and that 3) there has been no apology or acknowledgement that this was done without asking, and people involved are going out of their way to attack the moderators, who are just sad and frustrated that they weren't asked.

I've seen people claiming that the majority of the votes came from people who saw the posts on twitter - which isn't something that can be tracked without having access to the google poll itself. After existing for 11 years on tumblr, I assume the kataang week blog probably has a mass of followers - but we can't be sure because tumblr follower counts aren't public.

Nobody would be upset if they wanted to make their own ship week. In fact, that's happened in the past! And in terms of sharing content, people often drop links in the asks to the kataang week blog - whether it's on another platform, or the mods missed it, or for any other reason. There's an ao3 collection as well that people can post to! The mods don't track content that's not on tumblr (because not all the mods have a twitter or are availible 24/7), but they're happy to promote it if it's sent to them.

WHY IS SHE THERE BUT NOT BOND 😭

[cleradinel]

a friendly reminder asking the cast about byler will never result in anything else but "i don't know-s" and "we'll see-s" and wasting the precious time you have at conventions on byler questions is at best useless and at worst a little awkward for everyone, because you're not going to get the answers you're looking for and you're putting the actors on the spot.

a friendly reminder ndas are very much a Real Thing and they are legally obligated to dismiss it and lie and not to disclose it, you know, as a non disclosure agreement would suggest. it's not a no confirmation agreement. it's a NON DISCLOSURE agreement.
