#and they don’t deserve it
Text
emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.
multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.
i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.
please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.
#emily’s finally found housing after couch surfing at friends’ places for months#they’ve got a lot of debt rn on top of bills and rent#rn they don’t have food in the house and they’re starving#they don’t deserve this at all they are so kind and i literally hate to see them suffering#please please pleaaase donate and reblog#they don’t ask for much but they deserve the world#mutual aid#crowdfunding#donation post#belle speaks

Every once in a blue moon, I get haunted by this drama, one I watched more than 25 years ago. 🧐🤔
The main female character is unforgettable, and the psychopathic villain (all the red flags 🚩🚩🚩) is fascinating too. But I wonder what made this show memorable despite not being the type of storylines I enjoy.
(I have a few favourites from this era which don’t surface much in my consciousness. There is only one show from this period which I rewatch once every decade, but the reasons for that is clear to me).
Now that it is available on YouTube, maybe a rewatch (skimming) is in order to clarify on the whys.
#TVB drama#cantonese drama#now that I have rewatched a few of the episodes I realised what haunted me about this show#the pervasive misogyny and sexism#the sympathy extended to the villain which I thought undeserved#yes he had a sympathetic backstory but sorry he IS NOT AT ALL sympathetic to me#he is a psychopath who clearly knew what he was doing#we give too much leeway to MEN (fictional and real ones)#and they don’t deserve it#not after what they did#I don’t care what is their backstory#just another lousy excuse to let them wriggle out of their wrongdoings#it is funny because I was just rereading my own Mo Tae Gu fics#another demented/violent male character given a lot of excuses#and the memory of this TVB drama resurfaced#weird how the mind works#I ship MTG with a favourite female character in AUs#but I don’t have much empathy for MTG though sympathetic to the reasons for his being (in canon)#but OMFG#these male characters (and corresponding RL ones) deserve every bad thing which come their way#his mother IS NOT to blame HE IS#AMBITION#孽吻#Amy Kwok#Gallen Lo#Leung Siu Bing#Michael Tao Dai Yu#thriller/crime#‘romance’

At first I was willing to have those conversations about homophobia in Palestine and the existence of homophobic Palestinians doesn’t excuse a genocide but now I just don’t care - because the entire conversation has devolved into people who are not Palestinian going on tangents about how “yes Palestinians are homophobic but they still don’t deserve to die” as if we’re some kind of hive mind with all the same ideas.
We are apparently all barbaric, ignorant, bigoted people but hey I guess it makes it okay and not racist to say if someone says genocide bad. I’m tired of people talking about us as if we’re some kind of alien beings who can’t be discussed with directly and will always be outsiders even in conversations about us
#‘Palestinian men are misogynistic but they still don’t deserve to die’ what if the world was made of peanut butter#palestine

actually can we stop talking about “deserve” when it comes to characters dying in fiction. not everything is a fable with a moral lesson to be learned. romeo and juliet didn’t “deserve” to die. bambi’s mom didn’t “deserve” to die. izzy dying in the finale doesn’t mean ofmd is saying that certain types of queer people “deserve” to die. fictional death can serve more narrative purposes than just punishment for the character doing the dying.

Signed on to Twitter today in the first time in over a month
I’m so tired.
When we say there are antisemites at these marches and we don’t feel physically safe attending them believe us instead of saying that YOURE not antisemitic. Fine. Don’t be antisemitic. Just stop people who ARE.
#antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#i/p#we don’t deserve this#fight for Palestine without harming or erasing Jewish people and our history

suicidal people deserve a space to talk about their suicidal feelings without risking hospitalization/institutionalization or being accused of being manipulative or attention seeking

You know what? I don’t WANT an awkward double date. I don’t WANT buck coming out and people having the ‘I know’ reaction or the ‘is it Eddie’ reaction.
You know what I do want?
I want Buck panicking over what to wear for the date. I want Buck flopping on his bed like very teenager after their first kiss all giggly and happy and touching his lips because he kissed a boy
I want Buck smiling every time he says Tommy’s name because maybe it isn’t forever and maybe he’s not even looking for forever anymore but he’s so happy and he’s so light and being with Tommy feels good
I want Tommy to keep calling him Evan, because before Buck was Buck he was Evan and Evan deserves to be happy to be treated so softly and lovingly and Evan deserves to be free.
I want Buck to be happy. To be happy and free and queer in the way we all deserve.
#the other things are nice I guess#buddie would be nice#but honestly I don’t care anymore#I just want to see a happy queer character in media#because we don’t even fully have that with hen and Karen#their journey wasn’t an easy one#and why can’t we get queer characters who have a soft loving kind story#whatoh back at it again#evan buckley#tommy kinard#eddie diaz#911 abc#give me a giddy buck who’s nervous and unsure but so excited#give me a Buck who’s awkward but so determined to make this work and to discover more about himself#give me a Tommy who is so soft with him so gentle so kind#because don’t we all deserve that love? doesn’t Evan Buckley deserve that love?#for once I don’t want the angst for him I just want him to be Happy and Free

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.
#fantasy high#dimension 20#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#fantasy high junior year#fig faeth#ruben hopclap#lucy frostblade#the rat grinders#adaine abernant#kipperlilly copperkettle#watching fig terrorize him like girl!!! we don’t even know if he’s guilty!!!!#this might just be for me but i do not think 5 teenagers willingly brutally killed their friend idk#like there just has to be some other element to it and i am very scared to find out what that was#what if they were put in a position where they felt there was/there was no other choice… like oh my god#my comedy brain is having fun but my ‘this is a teenager’ brain is in such deep distress all the time this season#the rat grinders i trust brennan to not make u cartoonishly evil so i am holding u as gently as i can in my confused shaky hands#also with the devil’s nectar i’ve been wondering why they all seem so well-adjusted & now i’m curious if they’ve been intentionally-#changing their memories in a way so that either the trauma is lesser or they think they aren’t guilty. idk#but it seems like from how gertie was talking she was making it more recently so the well adjustedness from early jy doesn’t quite add up#they could have another source maybe??? idk i’m just low stakes 4 a.m. spitballing here#there’s also the strong possibility that they’re aware of what happened but they weren’t the ones who killed lucy. idk who knows#the way you could probably devil’s nectar yourself into believing it wasn’t your fault someone died… CRAZY IMPLICATIONS!!! CRAZY IDEA!!!#anyways the bad kids & the rat grinders don’t ever have to like each other but i do wonder if at least some of those kids deserve a chance

Nicky thinks the twins don’t love him, but then they both get ejected from a game for beating the shit out of a guy who illegally hits Nicky hard enough Nicky breaks his wrist.
Nicky thinks the twins don’t love him, but when Eric visits during Christmas, they lock him outside until Nicky stops crying because they fought.
Nicky thinks the twins don’t love him, but when it comes time for Nicky’s wedding, they look at him like he’s stupid because, of course, they are the ones who will walk him down the aisle. Once they are at the end, Aaron shoves Andrew out of the way so he can stand in the best man's spot. Andrew is just about to slam Aaron into the ground before Wymack loudly clears his throat from his spot in the front row (where the parents would usually sit), and they both straighten up. Andrew still kicks Aaron in the shin, and Nicky turns purple, trying not to laugh.
Nicky worries the twins might forget about him, but every week, they hold a group video chat to catch up, and once, when Nicky’s just had an awful day and can’t seem to keep it together, they don’t immediately hang up because he’s started crying.
Nicky worries the twins don’t care about him, but when he and Eric get in a minor car accident that lands Nicky in the hospital for a few days, they fly to him and camp out in his room until he’s cleared to go home.
Nicky worries the twins don’t love him, but Andrew sends him pictures of Neil and the cats, and Aaron sends him photos of the twins and Katelyn.
Nicky doesn’t think the twins love him, but he gets to stand next to Andrew at Aaron’s back when he gets married, and he is put in charge of organizing the not party for Andrew and Neil’s not wedding.
Nicky knows that the twins love him when they stop acting like they hate him and start treating him like they love him.
#Nicky Hemmick appreciation post#Nicky deserves recognition for the sacrifices he made in order to take in the twins#the twins love him they just aren’t normal and don’t know how to show it#nicky hemmick#andrew minyard#aaron minyard#twinyards#the cousins#all for the game#aftg#neil josten#andreil#the foxhole court#katelyn mackenzie#aftg katelyn#my aftg
