✷ “stop the Heidi hate” no ♡ she is literally so problematic and here’s the reasons why: she made fun of a Hindu god and wore a costume for Halloween basically calling it demonic, she humiliated, shamed and sexualised a bunch of young aspiring women on GNTM,taught people to starve themselves, ¿¿blackfishing?? and are we gonna talk about her oiling up models feet so they fell on the catwalk
They’ve definitely dreamt about one another, they’ve DEFFFF kissed. I have so many headcanons for them teehee. If you are a Rickorty shipper PELASASEE INTERACT…. PLEASPLEASEPLEASWPLEASWPLE-
(Let the poor fucker sleep, stop waking his ass up😭)
(continued) I damn near exploded with anger, but also was able to concede how someone could come to that conclusion.
Hmm. I hope you're being hyperbolic, Anon, I mean, I'm glad you didn't explode with anger on your friend, and I'm glad you conceded how someone might come to the conclusion that there is/are problematic content/elements in a gothic horror story/series. 😬
I don't think this was a question, more of a confession/comment? I censored it for reasons below*. Whether it's IWTV canon, the '94 movie, the 2022 TV show, etc... I would say that if you enjoy it, allow that your friend has made a comment and you can talk with them about why they think it's bad, that could be an interesting conversation if it's in good faith!
I can say that in general, these stories/characters/ships are not intended to appeal to everyone, I consider canon to be a buffet where I can pick and choose what I like and skip over what I don't!
TL;DR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read. Applies to you, your friend, etc. Hopefully it won't cost you your friendship, but if it does, well, life goes on. I am not comfortable discussing certain topics publicly because fandom is a hostile environment at this time, and I come here for a fun little escape from reality in my limited free time, not to police anyone or be policed myself.

*So, I wanted to take this as quick opportunity to share some thoughts on answering asks like these, because there is some fresh blood in the fandom who may not be aware... Assuming Anon wanted to ask if I agreed with their friend or not, the question wasn't quite clear. In general:
I've been in fandom long enough that I can say that the intention for questions like these is sometimes good, to spark intriguing conversations about how ~X problematic thing~ applies to various ships, whether it's harmful to the characters or maybe just part of their nature as vampires, so it's normal for them (as an example, "Was Armand cutting off Nicki's hands an abusive act, or is that a standard punishment that a coven master would commonly do to aberrant vampires? He didn't gloat about it, and he did return/reattach them after all!"), etc.... in other times, this could be a chance for an intellectually stimulating conversation and I would have enjoyed unpacking it with ppl.
Other times, especially currently in 2024 (to timestamp this), these questions are often in bad faith as a means to provoke an unwinnable debate; pinning a fan of a piece of media (the target/person) into defensive position of ~X problematic thing~ in fiction, which often becomes a slippery slope to accuse that target/person of "promoting/endorsing/supporting ~X problematic thing~ in real life!" This is then used to vilify the target/person when they insist that "Fiction is not reality," "Depiction is not endorsement," etc. etc.. As the person continues to defend themselves the bad faith actors escalate their harassment, this is fun sport for them. This can lead to dogpiling on the target/person with hateanons, online character/reputation assassination, or even real life consequences including doxxing. All this over a piece of fiction. It's extremely risky, it's entrapment, I have seen it happen and been a mild target for it over the years, it's unpleasant at best and ruinous at worst.
And I’ll also quote the description from @ozhawkauthor of one of The 3 Laws of Fandom, which applies to canon, fanfic, adaptations, all fiction!:
The First Law of Fandom
Don’t Like; Don’t Read (DL;DR)
It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone else’s place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical.
There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it - STOP.
I used to wrap things up by saying smtg positive like "Let's all get along!" but that in itself was picked on for some reason, so I'll just end it here ✨
Contains: Physical Abuse, Anger Taken Out On Another(You/Your S/I)
Imagine your F/O has been in a bad mood for a while. So you offer to let them take their anger out on you.
You take their hits with no complaint. Even talking about how you love them, despite the pain.
As they patch you up when they're done you remind them of how you asked them to so they shouldn't feel bad. How you just wanted to make your F/O feel better and that you're glad you did.
living with moral ocd* is already a miserable fucking nightmare but dear fuck does seeing discourse on this site aggravate it. Obviously my minds immediate belief is to be antiship and not consume anything problematic but then there are posts on here talking about how it's okay to consume problematic media as long as you think critically about it etc etc and how being AGAINST all problematic media/being anti pro ship is actually WRONG and. dear fuck. akanwkndms. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. i am so glad my ocd is not Bad right now because i don't know if i'd be able to fall asleep at night just running around in circles in my mind feeling like an awful terrible immoral evil person no matter which side i took.
*i just wanted to note moral ocd is not the only way my ocd manifests. it is just one of the many ways my ocd affects me. it does plenty else not related to morality
I love when my big brother wakes me up by eating me out. I’ll be almost there to waking up and my dream will turn sexy. The slow licks of his pierced tongue drives me crazy. It starts to get me hot and bothered. The feeling of his tongue piercing rubbing against my clit while start waking up fully. Oh god, the way he’ll stare until I open my eyes and look back at him with my legs hooked over his shoulders. The sounds are obscene from how fervently he’ll start lapping at my cunt once I’m fully conscious and looking at him.
“Princess” my big brother will purr at me. His voice is so deep and gravelly in the morning.
He won’t even give me a chance to respond before he starts sucking on my clit. It always pulls a whimper out of me. It feels so good. It feels good to have his warm, wet tongue eating at my soaking pussy. My big brother likes to surprise me. Sometimes he’ll insert a few fingers, other times it’s my dildo.
Yesterday, it was my dildo and it felt so good. I was so wet, we didn’t even need lube. He kept sucking on my clit and he thrusting my toy inside. It was everything. I felt like I was melting, I could feel my heart race and the hot coil inside me tighten impossibly tight. The pleasure is so overwhelming it always feels like I’m drowning in it. I have to pull his hair and it makes him groan every time. He thrusts the toy inside faster, being sure to brush against my g-spot until my legs are shaking. It’s impossible to keep myself from cumming as my body feels like it’s burning up completely. I’m a mess afterwards, always, but he kisses me. My big brother kisses me with my slick still on his lips.
I dont feel like like making an entire post because that is… Far more personal shit than I would like to share. But stop writing and/or consuming “problematic content”. It doesnt help. No matter how much you may think it’s helping you cope with your own trauma in the moment it ONLY makes it worse in the end.
For writers, especially, you’re just giving more ways for people to relive their trauma over and over again on top of doing the same for yourself. PLEASE seek help if it’s available to you or at least try to limit your consumption and/or creation of that content. I promise it helps in the long run.
Edit; I know this wont change anybody’s mind that doesnt want to change, just like whatever excuses you throw out wont change mine. This wasnt for you. This was for people who want to heal and dont know where to go after realizing shit they more than likely have an addiction to is harming them.
If with only a little more than 20% Rick consoled Morty, told him that he loves him, listened, communicated his thoughts, tried to support him in everything, was kind, was affectionate, hugged him. WHAT THE HELL WOULD HE DO WITH 30% OR 50% EVEN.
Contains: Physical Abuse, Taking Out Anger On Another(F/O)
Imagine your F/O knows just how much stress you've been under. How every little thing just seems to be pissing you off.
So they offer themselves to be a punching bag for you. They're strong, they can take it.
As you land punch after punch they just whisper soothing words to you. About how it will be okay. About how much they love you. And that seeing you upset hurts worse than any blow you land.
Then once you've let your anger out they hold you and comfort you. Letting you know that it's okay. They're just happy that you're not upset anymore. Your F/O just wants you to be able to relax despite everything.
