Annabeth is so much stronger then me I'm just saying if my mum got pissed and punished me for something my field trip partner did after i was nothing but the perfect child for the last 5 years meanwhile the guy who actually did the thing got nothing but praise from his dad yeah no Luke wouldn't even have time to ask me if I wanted to fight against the gods I'd already be starting my own revolution

maybe you aren't evolved enough to appreciate female characters who are terrible people but I am. Let women be annoying, self obsessed, entitled, and as much of an asshole as their male counterparts.

"but hamas is getting funded by extremist islamic hate groups!" do you think the U.S. government and military giving funding for israeli's war efforts against palestinians is a morally neutral and inherently righteous body that had no influence in the politics of southwest asia as a global colonial superpower. do you really think anything you can say about the people resisting oppression can't be said about the oppressors.

Oh so when the Brigadier brings in a plucky young girl to be the Doctor's mandated best friend its 'cute' and 'wholesome' but when I THE MISTRESS-

Sometimes I forget why exactly I disliked ACOMAF as much as I did and then I see a random quote and am instantly reminded.

This is exactly the type of gaslighting that this book does that annoyed me so. fucking. badly.

'All he'd wanted to do wasn't free me, but fuck me' - ah yes, because it totally wasn't her who went for his pants first.

'He hadn't tried to kill her, hadn't crawled for me'

Excuse me? He crawled as he was bleeding out from a chest wound, still tied up. Not to mention he DID kill Amarantha in the end. (Also he couldn't kill her before, because that's how magic bonds work - none of the high lords could lift a finger against her. There was literally nothing he was able to do).

Also it makes no SENSE for Feyre to be resentful of Tamlin not rescuing her all of a sudden? Tamlin saved her already by returning her to the human realm. SHE returned to fight and die for him. She KNEW she'd most likely die but she was there to rescue HIM. It's not like she got kidnapped by Amarantha and he just watched, no she came to die for him. It's kind of weird to blame him for not getting her out when she came in to get HIM out.

So yeah, ACOMAF is awful in this regard and I just don't get it. It would have been quite easy and possible to make Feyre realize that Tamlin isn't right for her without literally making shit up about him that conflicts with book one.

Damage syncing is very funny in hindsight 10/10

There is something really weird about people who bailed on RWBY because they felt it wasn't queer enough for them. Only to go and stan a series with like, literally one canonized gay character and very limited story but act like its the gayest thing in the world.

Like what you like.

But I think in this case its pretty clear they were more interested in having something akin to a toy box or sandpit to play with; rather than an actual story.

But they don't want to admit that and so have to pretend there's something wrong with RWBY's queer rep to justify their interest in the new thing because media engagement is a contest I guess?

ik it’s probably a classic case of extrapolating way too much but... the way raph’s character design lines up w his whole arc and role and struggles...

like the fact that he is so so so much bigger than the others. raph is big, raph is strong, raph is steady and sturdy and he can literally pick up his entire family and carry them all at once. 

and like, when raph is so big and so strong and such a reliable thing. when raph is the protector, the one calling the shots on missions, the mother hen, the first point of authority. when raph is there, overprotective, when raph (for all that his brothers poke at him not being good under pressure) always always ALWAYS comes through at the end of the day when things are serious, ALWAYS gives it everything he’s got. 

his design and his learned role/behaviors in this family are just the perfect storm of why it took up to the season finale to drive home the issue.

so much of the series carries the default energy of “raph will handle it.”

raph will hold up the ceiling above you. raph will throw himself over you and take a hit and get back up and keep fighting. raph has a power that makes him even bigger and draws more attention and makes him able to carry MORE. raph will be the substitute parent. raph will be put into the mentor role through leo’s leadership arc. 

and raph is big. he’s built to carry heavy loads. raph is strong. raph is bold and loud and always ready to try to push on. even if he doesn’t know what to do or what he’s doing, he won’t give up and we’ll all pull together and things will turn out okay.

(his room is full of teddy bears. he dipped out on a mission to try to take a picture of a pigeon carrying a slice of pizza. he’s terrified of being alone.

he’s just as much of a kid as his brothers are. he’s just as new and inexperienced with the things happening to them as his brothers are. but for him, for some reason, there’s like this double standard where that becomes a huge glaring flaw.)

idk this got very sloppy and uncoordinated. i’m very in my feelings about raph right now though.

Holy shit the reaction to S4 of True Detective smacks heavily of misogyny

joy

i find it funny the way women are crucified for the way they consume media. women can't like a band without wanting to fuck one of the members. they can't like a video game without "ignoring a characters' writing" just because they think they're hot. they can't read a book without smut in it and, if they do, they only read it to look "intellectual" and above women who do read erotic fiction. everything a woman likes has to have an ulterior motive or some underlying meaning. according to men, a woman cannot like anything in the same way they like it. women like things because the people in it are hot. a woman's brain cannot comprehend the way men think so deeply about the things they like. women just play a game and giggle and kick their feet when their fave comes on screen. and then they'll go on tiktok and post about said character and how hot they are without knowing how well written the character is. but, a man can do it to a woman. that's allowed. they can edit innocent pictures of characters with big tits and a big ass and cum all over it and that's okay. women...no. fanfiction is disgusting. that's oversexualising our big, strong, male characters that represent just how alpha we are. we can't have that. women are stupid. why can't they think as deep as we can?

Netflixvania fans will hate Mariacard because one's 16 and the other's an adult after shipping and continuing to ship Trephacard, which has a teenager shipped with two adults

EDIT: Okay I know this isn't obvious but it needs to be said, Netflix Maria uses the design of 12 year old Maria, but she's actually 16. SOTN Maria is 17, which makes her a year older than Netflix Maria. If there was a 5 year time skip in the show, that would make Maria 21.

me when i see ronance being critised yet again bc robin is steve's best friend who wouldn't "break bwest fwiend code" and nancy is steve's ex who bwoke poor stevie's heart uwu.

first of all, nancy and steve have been broken up for TWO YEARS already. steve has already forgiven nancy for the break-up. and let's not forget that a big part of why the break up happened was bc nancy was actively mourning the loss of her best friend.

am i saying she handled things perfectly or that her grief is an excuse? no of course not. but i am saying people do not have nearly as much empathy for nancy's trauma and how it affects her as they do for other (male) characters, they just jump straight to calling her an evil bitch. first it's her fault that barb's dead bc she dared to be blinded by romance as a teenage girl then it's her fault when she pulls away from the same guy bc of what happened like... what do you want from her, genuinely?

i'm begging you to stop centering male characters for once in your fucking lives omg. if you don't ship ronance, that's fine but don't bring up this bullshit as a reason not to ship them. robin buckley and nancy wheeler are so much more than their proximity to steve harrington.

btw i'm not hating on steve okay. sorry for the rant i just saw a tiktok that pissed me off so much about how steve would/should be mad about ronance
