White People Tweets + F1 Drivers (12/?)

I didn't want to make this post by @utilitycaster even longer than it was or derail from the immediate subject, so I'm making my own to discuss these frustratingly apt tags:

#tangent but the best way to put it is that there is a FRIGHTENING lack of empathy among a certain set of shippers #and every other character is constant collateral and right now Orym's on the chopping block#but like. feed fcg the coin? guests merely exist to make the relationship happen? Orym would be happier dead? #how dare ashton express they have also experienced trauma? shitting on every past deity-aligned character? it's a real pattern.

Because I was reminded that this is also, by my estimation, the reason a lot of people were genuinely upset with C3 Percy. Some corners of the fandom had spent months building up fanon where Percy, one half of one of the most iconic CR ships (and therefore a huge form of potential validation), would do everything in his power to make Imodna happen bring Laudna back to life and get rid of Delilah. And then Bell's Hells actually met him, and it turned out that under the circumstances, Percy was an individual with his own thoughts and feelings about death and fate who'd had thirty years to reflect and had reservations about resurrection even laying aside the Delilah situation.

It didn't matter that he explicitly said he wasn't rejecting the idea of bringing Laudna back entirely. It didn't matter that he had very good reasons to behave this way, reasons that the entire fandom was reminded about rather viscerally less than a year beforehand. It didn't matter that once he was assured there was no threat, he was actually really helpful and genuinely kind to Laudna in particular. If he wasn't immediately accommodating to fanon and validating the juggernaut ship, he was an irredeemable asshole who deserved to be "humbled" by having his wife and close friend go behind his back despite any reasons they might have to be concerned. (Which, to be clear, they didn't do, but the "nyah-nyah, Vex and Pike totally OWNED that rich old geezer cause they're strong women who do what they want!" sentiment was very obnoxious and I was pleased to see that Matt torpedoed it.)

do you guys have like lost media but it’s just lost in your memories? like you heard a song or watched a movie and remember only a glimpse of it but not what it’s called?

"Truly GOOD works don't have thriving fandoms because people aren't interested in fixing them, so what do they have to write fics/make art about."

Idk about you, but I don't write fic for properties I don't genuinely enjoy and think are, on some level, actually good.

i must be a little tumblr baby born in the tumblr cave cuz i am Not understanding how twitter works

Read one or two fics where they give Duke a personality treat Damian like a human being and stop sucking Tim’s dick for 5 seconds and everything else feels like forcing urself to eat normal food after tasting the fruits of the fae

is the coffin of peepee and poopoo actually good as a horror game or did it just gain popularity for being taboo with cute art style

lacho power dynamics are like. what if the one who's doing the lying and seducing and betrayal is also at the complete mercy of the one who's betrayed. and i am irreversibly normal about it forever

@ the anons in my ask telling me i'm a bully: have you ever wondered what the world could be like if you gained some basic reading comprehension?

Trying to get my boss to realize that no, I don't need her to hire more people withno experience for me to train, I need. My boss. To be at work.

STOP THE PAPER RINGS SNIPPET WITH THE GARDNER MUSEUM RANT JUST DAYS AFTER I WENT DOWN A RABBIT HOLE OF RESEARCH ABOUT IT THIS IS TARGETED

(always crying about the storm on the sea of galilee i would kill to see it)

PLEASEE THAT HEIST KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT !!!

I think it was a few months ago when I didn't have anything to do so I decided to watch something on Netflix and stumbled across This Is a Robbery and I was changed as a person.

I spend multiple hours a day mourning that specific Rembrandt and also The Concert by Vermeer. if not back, at least I need to know that they still exist and weren't destroyed *dissolves into tears*

I also think about Manet's Tortoni a lot,,, like A LOT. if I remember correctly there was some time / footsteps difference (??) and thieves never went into that room where that painting was which simply makes it even more logical that someone either helped, or at least knew about it *side-eyes one of the guards*

ANYWAYS!!! lol yeah I'm obsessed with that heist and (considering my Georgianism) everything that happened with The Procuress by Cranach in 1994 which I actually plan on including in Paper Rings as another regulus' rant

sh*dowhunters is / was / forever will be the worst 2010s teen drama. i’m convinced nothing else compares, at least from the ones that i’ve seen. for the rest of my life, whenever i watch a bad teen drama, i am convinced that it will still be better than sh*dowhunters. there is no reasonable competition in terms of other large network multi season production shows. it truly is in a league of its own.

At the expense of sounding like "an old" - I cannot tell you how uncomfortable I am the whole "kill yourself" phrase becoming common again. Like, I don't know if it's just a joke or what - and I'm sure that in some instances it is - but I've been seeing it more recently & it legit makes me uncomfortable.

I was very much a kid at prime "I'm gonna use the internet now" age when cyberbullying and everything became a big deal. Like, kids were dropping out of school & were legit suicidal over it. It was such a problem that there was psa's & everything that specifically included the phrase "just kill yourself" & "kys" (along with other ones), and I distinctly remember hearing "and how would you feel?.. if they did kill themselves?" used a LOT because, y'know, shit head kids didn't take it seriously & had never actually considered that - y'know - their words can have consequences.

I dunno, I just feel some kind of way. It has me worried for kids that weren't old enough to have the same first hand experience with all of that - & I sure as shit don't understand the adults that think it's cool to say that shit again. It was nice after we all grew up a bit and realized "wow that's fucked up. don't do that", but now I see the cycle starting to repeat and I'm worried

Just, y'know, maybe don't tell people to kill themselves? Even as a joke? Because it's fucked up? Like, if you have a very specific personal joke with someone you know well then that's really not my business - but especially if you're just coming out of left field and telling a complete/nearly complete stranger to "just kys" - maybe consider why you feel the need to do that?

Corey just so you know I’ve started saying “holy trash” in your honor

KJHGFDFGHUYGTFDGY OMG

i am so honored actually holy trash

i have been saying this for years like probably since around 2015, 2016 so sometimes i forget that i am. literally the only person i know who actually says it because i say it so much. but this is so sweet and also so funny iuygfcghikjuhgfcghiijhg

you're the best i hope the people you've said it too are a little confused but just go with it and that you're having fun and also having a good day / week / month / year <3

The thing blue state leftists don’t seem to understand about red states is that telling minorities to “just leave” is really insidious. That is exactly what the republicans want. They want to make their state so miserable and dangerous and scary for everyone who isn’t a conservative cisgender heterosexual white Christian that those people leave. Leave behind their family, their homes, their friends, their jobs, their community, the places they’ve lived their entire life. With every person who leaves it is one less gay person teaching their children, one less person protesting outside the capitol, one less blue voter trying to stop the place they call home from sliding into fascism.

Many of us cannot afford to ‘just leave’ and many of us don’t want to because contrary to popular belief, North Carolina isn’t an irredeemable shithole with nothing to offer and no sense of community. People do leave red states for their safety but that does not fix the underlying problem, that doesn’t even make the problem better.
