Standing in the town square ringing my bell and yelling like Harry is the special one!!! Draco is the one who is just some guy!!!! Harry literally saved the world twice and had a prophecy made about him!!!! Draco is simply mean, blond, and rich!!!! Harry is the bold, adventurous, and self directed one!!! Draco is the one who does exactly what is expected of him!!!! Draco is a bad person, but he is not a bad boy his behavior sucks but it’s not subversive in the context of their culture!!! Harry literally overthrew the government!!! He robbed a bank and stole a dragon!!!! Hello?? Hello???

I hate when I’ll be complaining about some stupid bullshit a coworker does to other coworkers and half the time their response is to lower their voice and go “well…. You know…. I’m pretty sure they’re… on the spectrum, you know?” And every time I have a split second when I have to consider saying “you know I’m autistic, right?” just to make them vaguely uncomfortable for a few minutes and actually think about what they’re implying but of course I do not do that because the gratification is not worth a large sect of shitty coworkers knowing that about me and then talking about me like that every time I do something vaguely annoying or dumb but man…. It does get tempting sometimes

The thing about certain republicans/trump supporters is that when you actually listen to their concerns and positions, you can understand where they’re coming from you can understand their fears if you take the time to actually listen to them and have a non hostile conversation. But then they will come around saying the most wild, dumbass shit and you’re like oh….that’s why we’re here

our society is taking a massive “anti introvert” shift again and it’s literally skewing our definitions of acceptable social behaviour. in the 2010s, tumblr had a lot to do with this big push towards embracing being quirky/introverted/nerdy/socially awkward/etc. etc. and as insufferable as that was, at least there wasn’t an outward social hostility towards extroverts.
social media (tik tok) has not only made people more self absorbed, but diminished critical thinking skills so much that people can only interpret the actions of others through surface level facial expressions and reactions. if somebody isn’t emotionally expressive, unreserved, or extroverted, they’re automatically labelled the enemy.
no, the “vibes are not off.” no, people are not “haters.” you are making a scene in a public place, typically while recording yourself, and not everyone is going to find that charming. additionally, not everyone in a group is going to be “wild and free.” some people are socially reserved, that doesn’t make them morally reprehensible.
we are back to assigning worth and morality to social preferences and in an age of social media (tik tok), if you’re not flashy or attention seeking, it makes you the outlier.
stop posting people on the internet, knowing they are going to be flamed and scorned for not being expressive or emotive enough. it’s self absorbed and weird. do your thing, mind your own business, and don’t expect that everyone will have the same personality traits as you.

it’s so annoying that every letter under the acronym is like “but they hate US, MORE!!” For shit that happens to literally all of us “but we’re oppressed in this one specific way that THEYRE not!” Okay we all are. We are different and therefore have different experiences and are therefore oppressed in different ways. But we have more in common than differences. It’s why we made an alliance in the first place. why is it so important to you that bisexuals or gay men or lesbians or whatever are the MOST most oppressed letter. We’re literally all in this together there is no fucking hope if you decide that you’re actually the most most oppressed and not like those other privileged queers who are hateful and mean and we’re the pure and free of bias and should divorce ourselves from them. Why is it so fucking hard to remember that we’re a community and we’re supposed to hold each other up not tear each other down. It’s pride month I don’t want to see this shit. Blocked. Get blocked

Wait are the potatoes still ongoing argument?? Why do people take writing preferences so seriously
tbh i don’t know if it’s still going on, but i did just cross a post where (idk if it was the person initially involved in the discussion or someone else entirely but) it was basically explaining the history of potatoes and why it’s important for a fantasy writer to consider them and shit and i’m just like Bro
i really do think unless you’re writing historical fiction this really doesn’t matter. why does your Fantasy Book need to be fucking historically accurate to that degree? its. it’s fucking Fantasy. it’s fucking potatoes and crops man i’m sorry it’s really not that deep.
i’m so annoyed by this entire situation or conversation bc it feels like needlessly nitpickiness about something that just doesn’t matter when it comes to having a fucking narrative. again, unless you’re specifically trying to write historical fiction, i just think it is irrelevant if you have dragons and magic bustling around to worry about if the potatoes in this world are up to code. it’s literally just so inane to me i’m exhausted.
i know everyone has their own opinions and is allowed to and if that’s important to some that’s fine do what you want but i’m just flabbergasted that its being toted as something So Extremely Important to consider when like in the grand scheme of telling a fucking story it’s a nonissue. and the entire situation where people were getting shouted at for it was nonsense. like just write your own ode to crops then dear god.

you know what is funny? i saw someone pointing out this on twt yesterday but some people claim that they understand boycotting but somehow… SOMEHOW… don’t understand why hybe needs to be boycotted but this honestly just tells me that these people aren’t even participating in the general boycott and genuinely don’t understand why it is needed at all 😭 which is embarrassing i will say
