Sorry but every single post whining abt how “trans discourse” needs to stop in the vaguest possible terms is the dumbest shit ever. Literally the most condescending people saying “I already know to treat people with respect :-)” like okay. Im sorry you’re too enlightened to care about trans people (again usually women actively complaining about men’s misogyny) talking about their own issues and everyone should just shut up and treat each other well :-). Like that post going around about how we should just ignore issues women have with men and just pretend everything is okay until it actually is.

If you dont do the work to unlearn your bigotry you’re going to parrot societal assumptions and norms into your so-called progressive spaces. To plug your ears and act like everyone’s complaints are just nonsense is to doom yourself to being a reactionary.

Getting queerbaited in the big year of 2025, Bobby is STILL dead after weird behaviour from the cast that could imply he’s still alive (???) Athena is STILL miserable and selling the house despite saying she wont ONE EPISODE AGO and Angela Basset is probably leaving because Bobby is STILL DEAD, Chim relieving the same arc for the third fucking time, doing NOTHING with Hen, Maddie’s only story was getting brutalised because they dont know what to do with her, not a single one on one Buddie conversation despite it being one of the MAIN EMOTIONAL STORYBEATS OF THE SEASON, goofy ass baby name, the Texas plot line meaning nothing because it changed fuck all, all important storylines getting resolved off screen, Buck relieving the abandonment arc for the seventh fucking time, Ravi still getting NOTHING to do, OOC Buck and Hen and Eddie oh Tim Minear hell is HOT for you

on principle i fail to see the point in DNIs cause so often it's the same people that have a DNI interacting with the people their DNI is alluding to lol. but when it comes to singular posts having a DNI i'm like. are you a control freak? why do you care about what the stranger pressing like or reblog on a post you made is into. like how does that influence your online experience whatsoever. also why do you think said stranger is gonna respect the warning you just wrote. why do you think people online are on the same wavelength as you are when it comes to social etiquette. but most of it all, why does it matter

i have to say though i do prefer fanon that plays around within the violently bleak liberalism of hp canon rather than an imagined revolutionized or even moderately reformed wizarding society

The whole "Beast x Ancient ships are problematic" debate in the Cookie Run Kingdom fandom annoys me so much because 60-80% of the people saying it are hypocrites who go "oh but except SM and PV!" When it inevitably comes around to a ship they actually like.

Burning Spice x Golden Cheese is problematic because he tried to murder her and aspired to destroy everything she loves because destruction is the only thing that brings him joy at all. None of this matters but, sure, I get WHY you'd think that. Obviously if they were in a relationship it'd be abusive. Mystic Flour x Dark Cacao is problematic because she essentially murdered his friends/soldiers, leaving him alone so it'd be easier to manipulate him, almost convinced him into believing nothing truly matters so she could steal his Soul Jam and use its powers for her own purposes, showed him a vision of a reality where he died because of her, in which his son took his throne and nobody really missed him all that much to further prove her point. Yeah, that's mighty fucked up!

...but Shadow Milk and Pure Vanilla? Oh they're just two goofy goobers who've had a couple bad moments from time to time but it doesn't define them or anything. They still love each other so much! There's nothing abusive here! I once saw someone say (essentially, not word-for-word) "All SM did was turn his friends into cards and fuck with them a bit, that's not abuse!" And... buddy... pal... amigo... Shadow Milk psychologically tortured Pure Vanilla, threatened his friends lives as if they were toys, altered *his own memories* in which he was supposedly watching him throughout his entire life to make him believe everything he knew was lie, that no matter what he did he could never escape his presence, and broke him down so badly all in an attempt to take his Soul Jam. THAT IS ABUSE!!!! Does "abuse" just mean psychical violence to y'all?? Of course it doesn't, because MF also psychologically abused and manipulated DC, and you can recognize that, but when it's a ship you actually like? Oh nothing wrong here! That abuse *totally* didn't happen, and if it did, it's not a big deal anyway because it wasn't even THAT bad! Do you not see how this sounds?

This is what I mean when I say "antis are antis until it's a fucked up ship they like" and that "'problematic ship' really just means rarepair." Ships they don't like are problematic (because they know calling a ship "problematic" is a buzzword that instantly makes them win the argument even if it's untrue), but ships they do like, even if they're also problematic, conveniently have a thousand excuses for why they totally aren't bad but the Other ship is, even if it involves entirely erasing/ignoring integral parts of the story and the characters actions. Rarepairs (BS x GC, MF x DC) are easier to attack because hardly anyone will defend it, but popular ships (SM x PV) never get criticized, because if you try to, you suddenly have a bounty on your head, even if that ship is literally by their own definition problematic (sometimes even more than the looked down upon rarepair!).

Shadow Milk x Pure Vanilla is a "problematic ship". It is abusive, it is abuser x victim, NOT in the "uwu quirky toxic yaoi (they were mean to each other like one time)" way, and no amount of you woobifying Shadow Milk and blatantly lying about what happens to spread your narrative that it isn't will change that. This is not an opinion, or an agree-to-disagree situation, it is an objective fact. This isn't being said to scare or insult you if you're an antishipper that likes Shadownilla, my point isn't that "SHADOWNILLA FANS ARE PROSHITTERS!!" It's that none of this matters at all because it's just ships. You're not supporting *real life* abusive relationships just because you find an unhealthy relationship in fiction hot (which you can't even control). Accept it and move on

how it feels to be cursed with the bad at communicating but talk too much when i talk autism

[teh-nos]

this is very petty but since i found out that some unknown number of people bookmark every fic they read on AO3 so they know if they've read it or not (since at the top you'll then see 'Edit Bookmark') i've been a bit annoyed that this makes bookmarks meaningless as an indicator of reader enjoyment and turns it into a smaller hit counter. except i think *most* are people wanting to bookmark fic they liked so they can find it again. so i can't even just dismiss it either. fandom has invented a new form of torment.

Hot new pieces of eden just discovered: fidget spinner, flash light, mug that keeps your drink warm, iPad with a dead battery, RC isu helicopter, animitronic from a children's party entertainment place (suspiciously sentient), the Canon isu infinite food despenser in the grand temple (it seems to make Goo? Shaun doesn't like it)

i need an assassin’s creed game fully centered around a fight over some completely useless shit. i want to watch a character lose everything in their struggle to kill all the templars who might get to it first. and then for it to just be a mug that keeps everything in it kind of warm.

and im saying that and it sounds like a meme. i don’t mean it as such! i’m being completely serious! i think it would do a great service to the series sense of power scaling and to underscoring just how fucking tragic this fight for these artifacts is if a bunch of people have to die to get their hands on this fabled item. only for it to be bullshit. not important tech, not a weapon, just a lucky mugwarmer that one of the isu used for their coffee thousands of years ago that managed to survive. value and myth placed on it to the point of being worth killing for simply by virtue of being from those who came before.

it’s both weirdly humanizing of this culture. because they were fucked and we know they were, but they still lived, so they still probably had useless shit like mugwarmers and fidget spinners. and it’s tragic. because it gives us a new way of looking at the pieces of eden. it’s always been a tragedy that the war for them ruins lives, but it’s always been framed as worth it in the end, because the pieces ARE important, ARE powerful, ARE valuable. so what if it’s not. because before someone actually gets their hand on it and uses it, no one could know what it does, just that it’s isu tech and therefore maybe it’s the key to the next century of this conflict. what if it’s not. what if we get to follow an assassin who didn’t get lucky and who ended up losing friends and family to get their hands on a mugwarmer.

it’s kind of a downer ending but idk, it’s been a long series. i feel like it’s about time to have another downer ending. just to keep things fresh. and so that the isu tech in the games doesn’t have to keep one-upping itself. reset our expectations a little? if that makes sense.

Not to magnus protocol on main esp because I'm nearly 100% certain this truly is just an entirely meaningless pure coincidence but I just read that the founder of the knights of Malta (the original order they branch off from, the knights hospitalier)(KOM mentioned in TMAGP EP 29 - Keyed In) was named, of all things: Blessed Gerard.

Anyways I dont know what to do with that information but I needed to say it out loud somewhere

Me: Wow! I really enjoyed Cinderella's castle, and it's about time that we had a WOC lead a starkids production. It was a really creative take on the fairy tale, but the story has some glaring writing issues, especially in the second act. I'm sure the Fandom would be open to talking about these valid critics in an understanding manner

Twitter: 💀💀💀 tf are you talking about how dare engage in a piece of media you like in a critically. while you're at it why don't you just piss on my dog since you're such an ASSHOLE

i think the reason ppl get so uppity about you calling a scam a scam rn is bc they feel so powerless about the situation in i/p that they'll take ANYTHING to feel like they're contributing. they dont want to be the bystanders who have no real sway that they are, they want to be the heroes of the story, and if they dont at least have the scams to rely on for their image, how will everyone know how good of a person they are and praise them for saving the day???????????????
