Just went through the list of people i follow.. my dash has been a bit slow for a couple years bc 200ish of the people i followed haven't posted in over a year haha

Oh good Neil Gaiman finally unfollowed me after all my bullshit I can be even more unhinged now

first neil breaks up with me and then he breaks up with douglas… i’m starting to sense his type…

absolutely hilarious when people say 'you know neil gaiman wouldn't want you to do this" as if i, a lesbian, give any fucks about what a straight man would think of me

what makes someone fundamentally a good or bad person? and what's the point of making that distinction? not being a hater, i don't think dean is a bad person, i just really don't get it. he's just a person with the capability for good and bad just like everyone else

i agree with you but i think the distinction IS important when you're dealing with fans who refuse to see that there's a difference between doing something from a place of good intentions VS believing they are willfully acting malicious and "abusive" because they secretly wanna control everyone and everything. i think dean is a generally good person who tries his best but like any other person is bound to get things wrong sometimes, make mistakes, act imperfectly. i think we all have the capacity to do both good and bad but like, it's not a tipping scale where X amount of wrong-doings equals You Are Now A Bad Person (often Regardless Of What Your Intentions Were) which is where a lot of "deancr*t" fans come from, and in this case i do think the intentions of a character are important when we're analyzing characters motivations and actions and why they may have made a certain choice.

also soo many fans will crucify dean for something that other characters have done too!! and they clearly don't view that other character as a Bad Person and they're able to give nuance and understanding for why that character did that thing and why it still doesn't make them bad, yet they don't offer the same grace to dean?? it's exhausting so yes, i will make posts saying "dean is fundamentally good to his core" to remind people that doing a bad thing or making a poor choice or acting imperfectly in response to trauma / stress / fear does not automatically make you a horrible irredeemable "abusive" person.

also it's very like this for me, a deangirl:

deangirls talking to other deangirls: acknowledge the intricacies of dean's issues, flaws, and behaviors, where they stem from and why, and also discuss the other characters' flaws and behaviors and how other characters have ALSO hurt dean. and those actions do not make them bad people either !!

deangirls talking to the world at large who keep acting like dean is the sole character who a has ever made a bad choice or hurt someone: dean is good !! dean has done Nothing wrong !! pls stop and look at every other character in this narrative and recognize that they are all deeply flawed and complex

Shi Wudu!!!!

i havent been around the nhie fandom for a while but i remember your blog. and dude, season 4 was … really mid? idk how else to describe it. also jaren turning out to be a zionist was not on my 2024 bingo card

Mid is like the perfect way to describe season 4. Especially after how amazing season 3 was, the letdown that was season 4 will forever hurt me.

To me the biggest issue with season 4 was Ben x Devis romantic storyline. Like the whole miscommunication and Ben dating Margot was the stupidest decision the writers could have made. Margot was extremely unnecessary. Also they never have a real conversation and that pisses me off so much.

Rip benvi dating era.

Also Ben’s storyline was absolute garbage, as he didn’t even have one. They made such a mistake giving that focus episode to Paxton. I love Paxton but it was yet again a very unnecessary use of time. In fact a large part of season 4 was just unnecessary pointless drama because the writers couldn’t think of anything better to put in there.

RIP season 4, you never reached your full potential.

Re your last point:

Really? Ewwww, well fuck him.

you know what they don’t tell you about naming your cat after a character is that when ur lil animal dies, you’ll never be able to look at the character the same way again.

“dave rygalski read the entire bible in one night for lane never settle for less” you’re gonna die alone

ryan and austin are taylor’s closest friend and brother so i don’t find it particularly surprising they unfollowed joe once taylor told them they broke up. like im sure they were just friendly with him cause that’s what you do with the partner of the person you care about

ross warriors on twt gonna piss me off if they don’t leave jaz tf alone

Y’ALL the hinge guy is still messaging me …on TIK TOK

my interest in psychonauts has sadly mostly dissipated, but i still see art of franke and scream in delight

sometimes a post by a mutual will make me want to unfollow but i'll be like let's wait a few days/weeks i don't want them to know what my last straw was and then i'll forget and months later find myself in the exact same situation (with them posting something that makes me want to unfollow them)
