Russophobia isn’t any better than Islamophobia. It’s not cute how jingoistic the left has gotten, y’all are seriously worse than the right after 9/11.

Whatever u say bestie <3 I'm Eastern European. Russia has put the entire region through hell for centuries. There's a lot of genetational trauma surrounding Russia in my country due to them being absolutely brutal and raping everything that moved during WW2. My great grandma remembered those times. There are women alive right now who used to hid as young girls because Russians would come and destroy evreything they could get their hands on. Sounds a bit too familiar, doesn't it? I'm sorry I don't care about the victimization of poor little innocent Russians who go around putting destroyed Mariupol as their aesthetic wallpaper and think it's glorious to rape and murder Ukrainian children whose only fault is being Ukrainian. I'm sorry I don't care about people who think they have the superior culture and have done evreything they could to erase not just one other culture off the map, but several others. I'm sorry I don't care about Russians who go to ex USSR countries expecting evreyone to cater to them and think it's a violation of human rights not to speak to them in Russian. I'm sorry I don't care about people who have looted my country and took away chunks of it just because they could and wanted to. I'm sorry I don't care about people who are actively committing genocide as we speak and have forced friends dear to me to live a life that could crumble at any given moment, a life without any security and guarantee, a life of agony and seeing evreything they hold dear destroyed, spat on and left to rot. I have a friend who was forced to take her young baby and raise him in a country she knew nothing of, completely alone. Why? We both know why.

Truth is I AM NOT SORRY and never will be! Not for Russians who bask in their colonial glory. The truth is the majority of them support the genocide against Ukrainians, and those who don't are apathetic towards it and adopt the same lethargic laissez-faire attitude they always had. It's not them, it's never them. Except it is.

imo some of you are being kinda dickish in light of practically confirmed buddie canon - if not endgame - news, and especially since buck was confirmed bi. like. would you for the love of fuck stop shitting on people who doubted or continue to doubt? like??? you're not special because you believed it would happen. you're not better than other people who enjoy the exact same fuckin content as you for it. half of my dash is just posts about how people who don't want to believe it will happen are fucking morons.

get the fuck over yourselves lol

I'm not "anti-Izzy" and ppl calling each other "antis" for not sharing their convoluted opinion about a literal supporting character is the most schoolyard bully level bullshit I've seen in ages but like.

I am very much against ppl spewing their racist takes abt this random yt man, and don't come here going "bUt sOmE Izzy stans aren't white!"

That doesn't automatically mean their meta isn't racist. As it turns out, ppl are capable of internalized racism even if they don't recognize it!

Shocker.

there are so many amazing and powerful benders in atla but what i love about zuko is that whether or not he can use his bending in that moment has zero (0) bearing on how much he’s going to absolutely kick your ass. no bending? that’s fine - he’s got swords. no swords or bending? that’s fine - he’s literally just going to beat you up. if you’re REALLY unlucky then you get all three. as a treat.

thinking about Nico adjusting to letting himself miss and long for the people he loves. based on these bits from the sun and the star:

" As Nico and Will followed the trogs, he thought about how much he missed Hazel. He was learning to make peace with that feeling. It was okay for him to miss people because that meant he wanted them around in his life. That idea was *very* new for him- he was used to either pushing people away or watching them recoil from his presence." *

" That was the most surreal thing of all... Was he happy? Nico wasn't very familiar with the sensation, but he couldn't deny that he felt wonderful in Will's presence. He even longed for the son of Apollo when they were apart. A funny thing had happened as the two grew closer: Nico suddenly understood all those cheesy, sappy love songs he'd always hated."

okay if you're really cool about things, i can be honest with you. before you read further, decide if you're a girl's girl. if you're cool and actually cool or like not cool.

men don't talk in my book because i was fuckken tired of the way they're the center of every fucking story. i was tired of how every story takes a moment to let them talk. men can shut up for literally one fucking book.

unfortunately not everyone is cool. professionally what i usually say is i didn't want to add violence to the world. the only men in my book are abusers, so they don't get to talk. they don't get to take up space. they ruined my life, they don't get to have their words echo anymore.

because like, yeah! you find practically any story about a person surviving trauma and... there's a man at the center. men are often rescuing us from these things. a "good man" is always standing around, being a good man, proving to the victim that good men are the real men. that her experience was unique rather than universal.

the redacted text has not been taken well by all of my early readers. there is this weird, crouching growl that keeps occurring with men-of-a-certain-age. why don't we hear his side of the story?

when i sat down to write everything that happened to me, i couldn't look at the frank brutality of my abuser's words on a page and think to myself: i actually let him speak like that. i had to redact his words from the manuscript. i then left it redacted. no victim is going to read this book and hear the person who hurt them. it is a book for the victims to speak. abusers shut up challenge, forever. for eternity.

my father once told me, chuckling, i should just have a page of redaction where i let the man just finally talk. it is funny to joke about how we should make a whole page in my book about a man that hurt me. this was not the only time someone commented - it feels like you're hiding things. how do i know you're actually a victim if he doesn't get to speak?

there are books where women aren't even present. i even genuinely like some of those books. like, who doesn't like the hobbit?

i keep running into people defending this imaginary man. the default narrative is so true to some people that they will defend any man, just by virtue of the assumption - "if he's acting like that, you had to push him." certain people need definitive proof that you didn't accidentally make your partner into an abuser. they need to decide if you deserved it, because they want to be able to judge you.

which makes sense, i guess, from a hind brain perspective. if you can figure out "why" someone was cruel, you can protect yourself against it. if you defend the bully, the bully might side with you. i don't really know their explanation for feeling this about a character in a book. trust me, i wrote the guy. he is not going to protect you.

i guess i just - there was a time in my life where i desperately wanted anyone to defend me. where i could have really used someone saying holy shit are you okay instead of what did you say to make him act like that to you.

instead, over dinner, a friend-of-a-friend i just met is pouring herself wine. i heard you wrote a book, she says. she gives me the kind of chilly smile i associate with knives. i heard it's unfair to men.
