It is not lost on me that a lot of people uses headcanons or the “don’t reduce Phee as a romantic partner” JUST to keep her out of a (fictional) pairing with their favorite cloneboy so 🤨

The eye contact??? The little smiles???? Annabeth I see you!! Annabeth I see you and your crush starting to form I can see y—

what if Danny was Alfred

okay but the way that so far chester’s statements are about morbid curiosity, norris’ about isolation and regret whilst augustus’ single, rare outing muses on the bloody price others pay so you can pursue your life’s work 👀👀👀

When someone you admire interacts with your content

Hi, it’s me, a BIPOC creator ready to talk about Tom

I’m going to preface this in saying that I was really hoping that Tom would listen to the people who were genuinely disappointed in him and wanted him to do better. I want to highlight that people were expressing their own past history with right wing grooming towards racist ideologies, dog whistles, and downplaying of Black and Indigenous suffering during the peak of the situation on top of all the hurt that comes with another trans person not understanding how bad their internalized transphobia is. In light of Tom deleting his tumblr, changing the L4L twitter username and privating both that account and the main one in question….I have some points as a disappointed ex-fan that I hope extends to other communities.

First and foremost; I would like to be clear and transparent:

I was one of the POC creators that asked QLP from Florescent Red Studios to echo my feelings at the time. I work a lot, I try and vividly express this and didn’t have the energy at the time to address this despite having a lot of words that I have gratefully seen echoed through the situation as it has developed. A few of them have carried over from seeing devs being harassed from a separate situation over the past year that I have a lot of words on. If you’re the perpetrators of that event I highly suggest you apologize and work on yourselves, but that’s an issue for another time.

To be honest, I will always be disappointed in people like Tom who hide these sort of hateful views, but…sometimes I can’t say I’m not surprised. I want to give people the benefit of the doubt, because, in all honesty, I love this community we’ve built despite the drawbacks that come with making something new out of nothing and wanting to support other people. I can say for certain that a lot of us were the weird kids, and it’s more than amazing to have that safety in community, but I can’t ignore that there are some issues.

We’re still people despite being online, people who sometimes can be more busy than usual. Tone is hard to pick up on and sometimes it’s hard to fully communicate how you feel, but immediately jumping into hatred and defensive mode is never the way to go, and there should be room for open discussion when people are hurt and still trying to make space to educate others. There should be space for open discussions because we have this mediation tool that we can walk away from and come back to when we look at it objectively and not emotionally.

Tom, if you see this, I want to ask you if you actually fucking care at all about me and what a lot of people in the BIPOC community went through/are currently going through in the hands of conservatives that have groomed you into their ideology. I want to ask you if you really know about the actual fetishization we face if it isn’t straight up murder, misogyny/misogynoir, etc? Because it sounds to me like you were a tourist and I’ve strictly only been to either sides of the coast because you will never catch me in the South in this country unless I am in severely Black populated cities. And even then you’d never fucking catch me in the South.

It’s hard for me to touch on the grooming topic further because I’m a victim of multiple instances of CSA….I don’t believe in just pointing at one community, I think every community should keep themselves in check when it comes to shaming and ousting out p*dos and N*zis at the least- because again, they shouldn’t fucking be tolerated.

I will echo this sentiment: if you don’t condone what you’re writing about, you shouldn’t be condoning or perpetuating worse actions in a community full of BIPOC, disabled, marginalized, etc fans in real life.

On the note of BIPOC, please…please actually learn about our history and struggles. Whether it’s taking a history course, watching BIPOC educators….it’s something I think people should really learn about. It’s painful, it’s hard, but it’s what we have to live with everyday and don’t have the energy to remind people of all the time because of how draining it is.

I will be clear, I’m expressing my disappointment. I don’t want any harassment towards anyone, you shouldn’t be lowering yourself to that level.

But- I’m fucking tired and am urging people to do better. Please.

i think in all my sadness today i forgot to congratulate kim seokjin for looking insanely fine in his uniform

Whos the orange sillohuette in your background behind the sentence

or was it from season 3… bad memory

me logging onto tumblr dot com and seeing eurovision unfold

I was supposed to Do Things this evening but instead I read all of your Synovus stuff (the first one on tumblr then all of them incl the first one again over at AO3) and respectfully how and why have you wrenched my heart out. And how dare you. And mostly just. Wow. It's been a long while since I read something that gripped me like that and I don't even know how to express my feelings so just. Thank you. Thank you for sharing their story.

" (cont.) ALSO just the repeated disillusionment with who you thought/hoped/were led to believe someone was or could be, paired with also the hope and genuine work towards restitution of the characters. That they fucked up, and faced consequences, and acknowledged that, and grew from the experiences. Making the choice to not harm, with the full weight of how easy it would be to react in anger. What it can mean to shape a better world even with the weight of our sins and trauma on our backs. A helping hand, small mercies, reached out when we need it. All in all, I feel like I understand love better, which is the highest honour any written work of fiction can achieve to me. Again, thank you."

I love the entirety of this review, because much of it was exactly what I was working for, and what I wanted to show - that Synovus understood why it was easy to reach for rage, the feeling that you needed to snap, and that none of them are perfect.

But I have a particular spot for the line, 'I feel like I understand love better' because I have cried twice over it already, and I may just go and do so again now.

Thank you, for reading, and for reaching back.

The deal fig made definitely has given Gilear like some weird luck thing

hey. how are your notifs. no reason why just asking. (lying)

Heheh I never turned them on

Oh shit, okay, Vinnie, okay

Do you make house calls? I'd like a few

"... generally speaking when I make a house call it isn't in anyone's best interests but my own."

haikyuu!! is such a good fucking series man,,, no other piece of media has ever made me like virtually every character in it and yet,,,,, somehow here i am with something positive to say about all of these silly little guys. i can pick out damn near any character and i guarantee i love something about them. you can just tell how much love and life was put into the cast, from the main team to one off side character #10. they’re all so real. it’s just so knsdjndksdnmkls
