Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

#Also I'm saying this as someone who actually watched quite a few of Somerton's videos #And noticed those patterns and stopped watching bc I recognised them from here #and had already learned to unlearn them after being so exposed to them here #And tbh I think anyone who hasn't had the luck or made the conscious choice to seek out ppl who pushed against those narratives #Would absolutely have fallen for this man's bullshit. Like let's not kid ourselves we see takes like this every day on this hellsite #2014 me would have. For sure.#This is next to the plagiarism issue which as Harris points out is an Internet wide issue and this includes tumblr #James Somerton #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #This brought to you by a conversation with my wife yesterday #So many ppl on here don't deserve to meme or be this self absolvingly critical of this man #The call is coming from inside the house #The man has a tumblr it would legit not surprise me if some of the things he supposedly made up himself he did actually get from somewhere #And that somewhere was a tumblr post

Me meeting Astarion for the first time: this dude is so evil and selfish! i can't stand him, i don't get why people like him, he's so mean it's unappealing.

Me keeping Astarion in my party during act 2: He Is My Husband Actually

Me meeting Raphael for the first time: ha! a devil wants to lure me into finding yet another temporary and defective solution to my problems? ridiculous. i would never negotiate with him

Me interacting with Raphael in act 3: He Is Hot And I Want Him Carnally?

Me meeting Gortash for the first time: bastard evil man! I will make him pay for what he did to Karlach. also, "handsome" where??? I just want to punch him.

Me meeting Gortash for the second time, as Durge: Bastard Evil Man! I Need To Fuck Him

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #tav #dark urge #durge #astarion #raphael #enver gortash #durgetash #i might be very bad a recognising patterns :')#me each time:#by talos this cant be happening

#yakumo saying sorry during sex is the equivalent of the trumpets of the apocalypse or smth i swear #R.I.P to your insides i guess. whoever's about to receive a dickening reckoning #idk it just feels so silly and cute that the chars will fall into patterns and eiden's been with them long enough to recognise em #they're all getting to know each other 🥰 oftentimes carnally 🥰#yakumo #eiden #yakuei

Bad Buddy The Series | My Precious The Series (mock trailer)

#bad buddy #my precious the series #gmmtv 2024 #I only noticed it because I had made a post about it in bad buddy #so the pattern was very recognisable #plus you add in nanon in both instances #and bam. an easy spot for me #also. I know how ridiculous this is. to notice things like this #but I actually love it #the thai communal wardrobe #gmmtv communal wardrobe #I'll get round to posting my thoughts about all the trailers #at some point...

There was not a single place to hide. The ballroom’s golden chandeliers and the tall, twinkling candlesticks in every corner left no shadows to lurk in.

my illustration from chapter one of Threads of Gold

#azumane asahi #haikyuu!!#haikyuu fanart #threads of gold #doodles and miscellania #i was meant to post this before the weekend but shhh it's fine dw about that #new chapter coming on friday yoooooo #also shout out to anyone who recognises that coat from my previous asahi art #i love that peony pattern so much but i made it in probably the second most foolish way possible so #it took some effort to use again lmao #if u ever want a pattern-design tip i can tell you exactly what Not to do in this instance

scorbus is so cavetown coded and jalice is so tv girl coded and tedoire is so cigarettes after sex coded and lilysander is so hozier coded and yolly is so paramore coded and rosphia is so hayley kiyoko coded thanks for coming to my ted talk

#lilysander is so particular bcuz hozier is specifically lysanders POV. lilys POV would be joji or something #i actually made this post just to say scorbus is cavetown coded and jalice is tv girl coded and the rest came after so. take that as u will #i was making the playlists for everyone and i was recognising specific patterns as i made the scorbus and jalice ones 😭😭#jalice THANK U for being my outlet of toxicity 🙏🙏🙏#i fought literal demons to not assign mitski to any of them. none of them except jalice and scorbus were angsty enough & they were taken 😭#i will assign individual mitski songs DO be prepared bcuz they WILL come with their own essays #harry potter #hpcc #scorpius malfoy #scorbus #albus severus potter #jalice #james sirius potter #alice longbottom ii #lilysander #lysander scamander #lily luna potter #rosphia #rose granger weasley #sophia barclay #rose weasley #tedoire #teddy lupin #victoire weasley #yann fredericks #polly chapman #yolly #hp nextgen #harry potter and the cursed child #rewriting

his internalised homophobia flavoured cowardice etc etc but genuinely kind of obsessed with the way this is the only glimpse you really get into what yosuke has been mulling over in relation to kanji specifically over the course of like. months at this point.

#like. this in conjunction w the cut romance lines about focusing on the murders to avoid confronting himself...#idk. i just think a lot about the way theres really quite a lot of himself that yosuke doesn't show to other people #even to souji as this conversation demonstrates #and theres this interesting mix in him of self awareness and just. willful blindness at times #and snippets like this show both of those qualities imo #dwelling on something for months and months at this point and yet not being able actually articulate that in front of other people #out of like. what i see as pride and embaressment and every bit of conflict tangled up in what he recognises in kanji #and puts down in him (because recognising that u put people down to try make urself feel better doesnt automatically rid urself of that #behaviour or thought pattern or the anxieties which help underpin it)#like theres a degree of ambiguity as to what yosuke actually SAID sure but tbh what kanji summerises sounds more like a quote than like #how he would reframe something in his own words imo #anyways! forgive the yosukeposting <3 #tunes talks persona #persona 4

2023 reads / storygraph

Something More

YA contemporary about a Palestinian-Canadian girl starting high school, navigating new crushes and accepting her recent autism diagnosis

#something more #jackie kalilieh #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is pretty good!#obv it’s not my kind of book but having an autistic MC made it a lot less frustrating than a similar book with an allistic MC would be imo #I thought it was a great representation of a low support needs autistic teen girl #and like. embracing her autism but also it's not the only thing the book is about #Was a bit exhausting the way she keeps going back to this guy even though he’s kinda shitty #though I guess it felt quite transparent that the narrative is partly about recognising unhealthy relationships & what mistakes you should #forgive and what are ongoing patterns. and most of the relationships are like different examples of that #so like that gave me a bit of a step back from all the drama and stuff that would have otherwise annoyed me too much #because it was obvious that that was the point of all that #I think it would have been good to have developed her relationship with her grandmother - 3/4 through something happens #and it has pretty much no emotional punch because I was like wait. she has a grandmother?#Maybe that would have made it too sad when it’s mostly a lighthearted romance but like. you could have made the thing more of just a scare

List of things I will never do after watching Criminal Minds:

1. Go through a corn field. Clearly, bad things happen in cornfields.

2. Sneak out of the house. A bad idea generally, but according to Criminal Minds, you will be kidnapped and/or become an orphan.

3. Be a bully. Again, a bad idea anyways because morals, but also because a serial killer will probably come kill me.

4. Be an abusive parent. Again, see above, morals prevent that anyways, but my children would then be kidnapped by a serial abductor who thinks they’re saving them.

5. Live a “high risk lifestyle”. Criminal Minds has far too many sex workers being killed and they always blame it on the “high risk lifestyle”. I don’t think it’s their fault but the law of capitalism and misogyny says it is.

6. Develop a relationship with someone over the phone or through online communication. They will end up being a Lonely Hearts Killer and I will die painfully.

7. Break off an engagement via infidelity. I’m very anti-infidelity anyways but my ex would start murdering women who look like me as surrogates until eventually he kills me. Yikes.

#please add any other tropes to the list that I’ve missed #criminal minds #I mean I love criminal minds but I can also recognise patterns okay #there’s fifteen seasons there’s obviously a couple of similarities in most of the cases

Also while I am here -- my main problem with people being fucking nasty to Tumblr staff is that I don't want to see excessive vitriol. It's why I don't follow many discourse blogs, it's why I try to avoid engaging in discourse myself. Even things I agree with are not worth defending through vitriol to me.

You're free to talk about however you want on this site to anyone you like. But I am free to move to the other room and not be around you because I am tired of listening to you.

#van stuff #And for the most part -- vitriol is not a thing people tag #my only option really is to just... unfollow and block people #who persistently put messages that amount to 'fuck yourself' in my feed #no matter who they're aimed at #because in my experience if you're willing to say that shit to your enemies #it's only a matter of making a reason for me to be an enemy before you do it at me too #Like #we recognise this as bad #when people do it in a targeted way #we recognise marinading in aggressive rhetoric as bad for you #when it's reactionaries doing it #but for some reason people struggle to realise that certain patterns of behaviour and action are bad for you #EVEN WHEN YOU'RE DOING THEM FOR THE RIGHT REASONS #exercising your god-given right to be a fucking dickhead to randos is a bad pattern of behaviour #please find more productive ways to deal with your anger #I'm not saying you're dong something 'objectively wrong'#I'm just saying I do not like the thing you're doing #and I want no part in it

I gave up and am fixing gamedesign with mods myself. Technically speaking, all the mods I've had installed before were cosmetic or QoL (at least I used them as such), now I'm dipping into straight cheat territory, considered by the vanilla game standards. This is just gamedesign fixing in my eyes.

#will most likely elaborate later #cheat in question is speed eating and flinch free on every charm #also i have unlimited consumables #this is a qol mod snd i eill fight snyone who says otherwise #this is a preparation heavy game and it should make said preparation easy instead of adding another material grind #youd think unlimited items is cheat enough but no i still get stunlocked to death on regular basis #it is my most common cause of death #not failing to recognise attack patterns or forgetting to bring antidotes or smth no #my n 1 cause of death is getting stunlocked #this was always an issue however the high rank quests bring it up to a new level of ridiculous cause monsters move faster too #you just cant heal without speed eating #i also kind of hate that you only get the heal if it is uninterrupted down to the Last Frame otherwise no health for you #like okay i get that you need to work on your spacing to heal up but you sre also fighting enemies 1000 more mobile than you #at least give the first gulp half a heal or smth #dont talk to me me grumpy #mh world #mhw #monster hunter world

something something betty dating a college student when she's fifteen something something betty getting engaged to someone in their mid 20s when she's 19

#age difference tw #✮ ‹ ∘ 𝓑.𝓑. ooc #one day i will talk about this eloquently #but post ned #betty definitely works on learning to recognise #if she's repeating old patterns when she has a crush on someone older #or whether it actually has potential to be something
