Lipsyncing MLP scenes to dialogue is actually really satisfying

obsessed with how clearly terfy weird bitches on here will say shit when called out for saying terf shit like "um well ACTUALLY maybe you think i sound like a terf because you identify normal feminists as terfs?? 🤔"

and then make absolutely no effort not to use transmisogynistic rhetoric and say weird shit that very very obviously is transphobia, like using terms like "trans rights activists" and "trans identified" and think they're so sneaky and nobody notices?

yeah i don't support all women. some of you bitches are terminally stupid

Hrngh I just. I don't want to argue with people but. Being an addict is not a moral issue. You are not more morally good and pure for never having experienced addiction. You are not inherently bad for being an addict. Like the recovery narrative centres becoming a "better person" or being "redeemed" BUT BEING IN ACTIVE ADDICTION DOES NOT MAKE SOMEONE INHERENTLY A BAD PERSON. You don't need to be redeemed. That kind of dichotomous thinking is detrimental to recovery, setting people up to see relapse as a moral failure, a weakness in character, something they need to repent and self flagellate for. When it's just... not. It's a part of the process.

And even beyond that, if you can't bring yourself to uncouple addiction from morality, you have to see that addiction never happens in a vacuum. To ignore the socioeconomic factors that contribute, the way that addiction and alcoholism intersect frequently with chronic pain, the way that our society is essentially made hostile to people experiencing addiction which then in turn self-perpetuates... it seems needlessly cruel as well as ridiculously individualistic. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps type of mentality. Poverty and chronic pain are significant contributing factors in many cases of long term addiction; it is far more useful to blame power structures that allow people to remain in poverty, their pain untreated, the inequalities and failed safety nets, disregard for vulnerable populations, all amounting to social murder. Choosing instead to place blame and vitriol at the feet of addicts is unhelpful at best and frankly malicious at worst.

it's so fun when the people who took everything from you claim to be the real victims. like, y'all want to dump a years-long friendship in a dumpster fire just cause you're in a romantic relationship and that's the only thing that matters to you, go fucking ahead. but don't pretend to be the victim when you were the one who destroyed it.

you don't get to take literally everything from me and claim that you were the real victim when the only thing you didn't take was the skin off my bones.

im gonna tbh with yall, listening to magnus archives again without the constant fanon bleed and regular discussion etc.... definitely colors it a different way lol! i have more criticisms than i did when i listened to it the first time and it makes me a bit sad because i love it so so soso much. just coming up on the unknowing arc and i'm mentally strapping myself in because i'm realizing things [I dont like jmart very much / would like it MUCH BETTER if martin was actually a twist villain and web aligned i keep seeing the wires johnny i am shaking you by the shoulders DID YOU TAKE WEB ALIGNED EVIL MARTIN FROM US TO APPEASE THE FOUND FAMILY FANFICTION SOFT TEENAGE FANS ..... tell me why jonelias is so much more appealing to me now relistening to it as a grown ass woman .

almost every cdrama i‘ve watched could have been a 10/10 if it wasn’t for those last ten minutes packed with the entire finale like every single one without fail got that rushed ending…. why do they keep doing this to me stop

"everyone's gonna be sooooooo mad at simon when they find out where he went" I should hope not because the last way anyone should ever respond to learning someone was on the verge of suicide is be genuinely angry at them and I wish you guys* would stop talking it like it'd be funny or some kind of treatment he deserves

[shortscircuits]

just saw someone complain about a lack of community on lex which is like…i get the complaint theyre making about how the app feels impersonal and detached but uh…idk how to tell u this…all apps are impersonal and detached. if ur looking to an app for community building ur always gonna be disappointed. u can find friends thru an app, which can be a jumping off point for community, but u cannot expect faceless internet strangers to regard you, a faceless internet stranger, as a member of their community. im sorry but a profile pic and a few sentences does not convey the complex beauty of who you are. you have to talk to people, and have multiple conversations, for that. community is so much larger than any digital space or set of identifying labels.

Im sure someone else has already said this but Dr Twobrains is both a Harley Quinn AND Joker kinnie. Prove me wrong. PROVE ME WRONG.

visit my new tag #ellis's adventures in late capitalism customer service and predatory business practices for highly entertaining accounts of my experiences dealing with any kind of company's or government's wonderful treatment of their obviously very strongly valued customers and their very astronomically high quality offered services

My favorite food is pain au chocolat. I don’t even feel like I need to explain it. It is so obviously and manifestly a perfect food.

y’know the worst thing about well-written character deaths is that you don’t have anyone to direct the anger at. can’t even go “oh but what if they did THIS and THIS and see it would’ve all been fine” without knowing that their death was the perfect thematic ending. can’t even be properly mad at the author because they at least did their character justice, unlike most pointless blockbuster film deaths. can’t even say you think there was a better way, just spin in circles trying to think of one and never finding it. just gotta deal with the fact that you can’t save everyone in fiction, just like you can’t save everyone in real life, no matter how much you wish you could
