Every so often, I come across MDZS fans who dislike the main character, who condemn his every action, who call him "spoilt" and "immature" and call him a bad person. And sometimes, it's oddly obvious they want their faves to have his story so badly.

They're subconsciously admitting to themselves that he's a kind, compassionate, heroic and intelligent person who did the best he could when presented with a series of terrible options with no way out, and yet still force themselves through mental gymnastics to look down on Wei Wuxian. They want other characters they project onto to have his talent, his story, his love interest, even his child, because it guts them that Wei Wuxian is the hero of the story, the tragic figure who found the strength to do the right thing.

I'll see people who stan certain side characters put down Wei Wuxian and condemn the Yiling Patriarch, and then turn around and write fics like "What if <insert their favourite blorbo> was the Yiling Patriarch instead?". I get it - we all love AUs and playing with character roles and dynamics, but isn't it odd when people criticize the Yiling Patriarch, only to glorify the role when it only applies to their favourite characters?

If Wei Wuxian is truly the irresponsible, flighty fool who screwed over your faves, why would you still project his strengths and qualities onto them? Why do people who dislike Wei Wuxian still rewrite their faves with his story, with his title, his unbending selflessness, and even his love interest?

Chinese gachas try to get around censorship writing the lesbians by saying Well actually they were both in the same body and they are actually like the same person so its not gay. It's about self-love.

it is so telling when someone describes themselves as alt instead of punk/goth/emo

Is it just me or do these tags feel weirdly condescending?

hi im bi and i dont know how to break this one to you but a woman being attracted to a man isnt gay, even if the woman is bi. this isnt a gatekeeping thing. its conversion therapy rhetoric and is actively dangerous

....? how is that conversion therapy rhetoric

The math just adds up!

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

It’s that time of the year again

how to ask the demon you've been smitten over for 6000 years to dance: an angel's guide

bonus:

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!
