Since the trailers finally released and since HBO is marketing with tb vs tg here's a reminder to NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

There's already an alarming amount of people at each other's throats for being either of the team, let's chill out, it's a show.

This is not real life politics where you're voting, it's a show, you're not making highly important decisions, in fact; the team you are on doesn't even matter for the plot so please just be nice to one another and not lunge at someone for sharing their opinion even if you disagree with the opinion, simply take a step back and chill out.

I've seen people go to tg's trailer and comment "who is team black" and vice versa, like they are toddlers 💀, it's mainly tb going onto the tg trailer and trying to "sabotage" (Idk whatever for) by spamming tb stuff like ? This isn't middle school 💀

enough with my rant but here's my thoughts on both the trailers: OOF OH MY GOD AEGONS HAIR IS LONGER? AEMOND AND DAEMON BATTLE FORESHADOW????? WHY DID RHAENYRA GET 1000X HOTTER 😭 LIKE HELLO? ALICENT IS JUST SAD GIRL CORE 😭 AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE FINALLY GETTING TO SEE SUNFYRE 💗💗💗 I'M JUST WAITING FOR ALYS APPEARANCE TOO 😩😩😩 AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE SHIT GO DOWNNNNNNN

We're gonna get so many aemond scenes and as an aemond simp, I apologize for the feral behaviour I will be exhibiting in the near future as I get to watch my dear husband be a war criminal 🫶

I rewatched a few of the early episodes of spyfam today bc getting to see the movie gave me an itch to scratch, and in particular episode two made me finally able to conceptualize what about fandom twiyor that irks me so deeply. If you like widespread fandom interpretations of them I would uh, look away bc none of my opinions on it are positive.

Episode 2 of the spyfam anime remains one of my favorites because of all the little flourishes the studios add to sell you on Yor as a character while also expanding a bit on the manga's original commentary on the stigma that follows older single women. What draws Yor and Loid together as a family is that neither of them are capable of having conventional relationships. Both of them are war orphans forced to grow up far too soon and who threw away aspects of their humanity to fight for what they believe to be a better world. While Loid's position as a spy and mastery of deception allows him to avoid the stigmas that would come from the ordinary person discovering what he does, that is not something that holds true for Yor, whose weakest point is that she simply cannot understand "normal." She's aware of the way her coworkers demean her and insult her but can do nothing about it because her only conflict resolution skill is murder. She is constantly reminded that she is an outsider, hence why Loid's declaration at the party is so meaningful to her, and what convinces her to ask him to continue the facade as a married couple.

Underneath it all however, is a quiet showcase of amatonormativity that drove both Loid and Yor to their arrangement. Eden requires a student to have a perfectly nuclear family. Societal conventions dictate that Yor, happily single at 27, is someone pathetic (to her coworkers) or someone in need of help (to her brother). Marriage is an expectation that Yor is pressured to commit to, and a societal requirement that Loid must uphold for the sake of his mission. And while this showcase begins in episode 2 it is something that spyfam continues to highlight when it comes to the expectations both Loid and Yor struggle to meet when they try to hard/become to anxious over what is "expected" as a married couple vs what the other person is actually thinking/feeling.

Now, what the fuck does this have to do with fandom you ask? Here's the thing. Spyfam reached the broad range of anime fans when it exploded in popularity, which is when I started engaging with it beyond just comments on the latest manga chapters. Modern fandom already has the issue of classifying ships into tropes rather than actually like, shipping characters as they are. And that's exactly what happened with twiyor. People began going "oh my gosh this is the moment she fell for loid," "oh he's so in love with her just look at him," before we had even reached episode 10. Which was incredibly frustrating to me because clearly Loid and Yor are not anywhere near in love that soon in the story- and the basis for that frustration starts in episode 2 for me. Because Loid and Yor's marriage is one that is unconventional from the very beginning, and it is that factor that defines their dynamic an allows them to function as healthily and sweetly as they do. People don't need to be in love to be married or to be a parental unit. None of that requires romantic love, it is simply an expectation of our society, the same sort of expectation that cripples Yor and makes her think she has to find a partner, then that she has to find a husband to appease those around her. Seeing that completely erased in a large portion of art/commentary/fics written about them angers me because its something baked into the foundation of their dynamic and something I feel enhances them as a potential romantic pairing rather than detracts from it. But we can't have that because of course a man and woman living together and caring for a kid fell in love almost immediately.

And don't even get me started on how people misinterpret Loid for their far more romantic interpretations of his motivations and relationship with Anya and Yor or else I will start losing teeth from how hard I am clenching my jaw

LEGEND OF ZELDA FAQ: As the one timeline AU as I’ve named it has gained a fair amount of popularity heres a few questions I’ve been asked about it

What is the 1tau?: The 1Tau (One timeline AU) Is a legend of Zelda alternate universe I made where the timeline of the Zelda universe has been molded to fit into one line instead of the branching routes of canon. It’s also a Links Meet AU because those are cool!

Where can I read it?: Unfortunately this is the only place you’ll find material for this Au, FOR NOW AT LEAST! I have been known to dabble in fanfiction so it’s not out of the question some stories might pop up.

Do you have a story planned for this AU?: Kinda? But mostly it’s just character-focused interactions. I’m not a fan of writing super dark or introspective Zelda, *I lean more toward Hurt/Comfort, found family vibes in these parts~

Is there a Sideblog for this AU?: Not at the moment but that might b e something I'll look into if it becomes hard to navigate within my main blog

Can I use your character designs: Please do with credit! And optimally with me tagged so I can see your work~

Can I send you art of this AU: PLEASE PLEASE DO I’D LOVE TO SEE IT!!!

More money same problems

Having a mom who's only motivation for you to succeed be based on how other don't want her kids to succeed is the worst thing. It's so audacious of her to ask me to take a picture of the food my aunt is cooking while she's at home getting ready for work. Why are you so worried about a woman who doesn't like you? I'm saying this because a lot of people think rich people are too worried about making money to have these issues but my mom and many like her are examples that it isn't true.

The one thing I'm greatful for is that I my parents can a afford to send me to school with no student loans. Once I'm in college my parents are getting minimal contact from me.

Watching the umbara arc while trying to pull a fully referenced 1500 word essay out my arse is a new level of emotional stress

Will I ever get anything I want?

me liking posts from my mutuals hyperfixations that i dont actually understand at all

i've always been a "your opinion is irrelevant when i have my own" kind of person ! ^.^

night in the woods really messed me up because how was i meant to go on about my day after hearing “it was all just pixels. the characters on screen, i felt like i knew them. they weren't people anymore, they were just shapes. their lines were just things someone had written, they never existed. they never had feelings. they never would exist either, and it felt so sad. like i just lost these real people. and this whole thing we had, it was just me, alone. and like that realization like dumped out of the screen and into real life. went outside and the tree out front, i looked at it every day, it was like a friend outside the window. now it was just a thing... just a thing that was there, growing and eating and just being there. like all the stuff i felt about the tree was just in my head. and there was some guy walking by, and he was just shapes. just like this moving bulk of stuff. and i cried, because nothing was there for me anymore. it was all just stuff. stuff in the universe. just... dead."

Turning off anon asks for a bit because I received one of the vilest and disgusting shit ass ask ever telling me to get brutally SAed since I "enjoy" it with so much detail specifying how and hopefully I die during the process because i am "disgusting"

Idk if they lack basic reading comprehension but i literally say that this is literally just fiction multiple times and not to cross it with reality, it's literally on my pinned too.

If you don't like it, don't read or don't interact, please. It literally wouldn't hurt you to block me if you do not want to see those.

I literally just woke up too wtf.

Cries into my little hands I love Saving My Sweetheart so much but the second season has gone so downhill so fast. Wtf is up with the pacing??? Why didnt we spend any down time in the dragon kingdom learning about it and leticia's new relationships there before immediately going back to the saintess' kingdom? Why is the dragon god suddenly interferring a massive amount when doing so was said to be a very tenuous and difficult thing for him to due thanks to the rules of the world?? We had all this buildup to Barnes becoming leticia's 3rd wing and then it happens and its literally barely acknowledged???? Why the fuck did we have leticia like. literally DIE for 2 seconds just so the dragon god could revive her (this was literally pointless). Even the development we've gotten with leticia and ditrian's relationship I can't be 100% on board for because we have all this random plot shit happening and no character has been given time to breathe or anything so we just have leticia's secrets coming to light with barely any buildup. I'm so :((( why author, what happened between season 1 and now

So...rant/question? I'm really not sure what to do. A couple of years ago, I interned for a food blog in my city, which back then was moderately big but now has a pretty huge readership, and I just found one of my old articles re-published under someone else's name. I started going through her profile on the site, and it looks like she's a paid worker for them (I was unpaid, which for some reason makes me more upset) and has several of my old articles on her page, word for word.

My first instinct was to be pissed, but honestly I'm not sure if it's worth making a stink about? I'm not particularly proud of the writing I did for them and don't plan on using it in any sort of portfolio or anything. I'm not even sure if it's this girl stealing my work or if the higher-ups at the blog are re-publishing it under a current employee's name just to get more views from their larger readership, and I'm a bit worried that if I email them they'll just say that since I was writing for them they have a right to re-publish? But idk, it still seems a bit wrong to me.

Sorry for the rant! I'm feeling torn and a bit panicky for some reason. If anyone has a take, I'd love to hear it! Thanks <33

For @feanorianweek​ Day 1: Maedhros

Even in his youth, maedhros didn’t have enough hands to handle his brothers, especially Celegorm.

I guess now in his adulthood Maedhros misses the problems of those old days.

+

@feanorianweek Dia 1: Maedhros

Incluso en su juventud, Maedhros no tenia suficientes manos para controlar a sus hermanos, en especial a Celegorm.

supongo que ahora en la adultez Maedhros extraña los problemas de esos días.

"Channie would be the best boyfriend!"

"Bang Chan's the best husband!"

WRONG!

He'd be an absolute menace! This man flirts and teases Stays like his life depends on it! How you think he's gonna be with a real partner?!

He would tease you at every! possible! chance!

You two are making out, at least you're trying to, and he's keeping himself just out of reach like "Can I help you? You need something?" Giggling the WHOLE DAMN TIME. 😤

"Oh, you want a kiss? All you had to do was ask silly."

🤬🤡 Rant over.

Now, when he actually gives you what you want, he is all about making sure you're taken care of. It's hot and steamy, no more teasing. At least, not the same kind of teasing. 😉
