Please stop, I beg y'all.

Aaaaarrghhhhh....

I've been seriously considering blocking some Anons, or closing my inbox to Anon asks. I don't like doing that to turtles, but I'm getting past frustrated and feeling drastic about it. A huge percentage of asks I've been getting are from turtles who do not curate their online experience and who constantly bring Twitter drama and anti messages to my doorstep and I'm tired of saying the same things over and over again.

I can't believe the volume of asks I've gotten about this stupid F'n Douban page, which tells me 100% that a decent number of you are not staying in your own lane!! The only people talking about this (fake BS) are antis!! Stay out of solo hashtags on Twitter!! Yes, that includes GG and DD's individual names. BLOCK AND IGNORE.

If you can't curate your online experience, that's your problem. Don't make it mine, or anyone else's on Tumblr.

You know what bugs me the most, is that some of you seem to put a lot more weight to what those antis who are trying to hurt you say than you do to anything me or @accio-victuuri or any of the other turtles who try to help you are saying. Why do you bother asking any of us anything if you're going to ignore the answer?

Look, antis are liars. I've said this a thousand times.

Douban is a USER EDITED site. Don't let yourself be trolled by haters. Stop buying into their narrative. They're trying to spin a negative story for you and you're getting sucked into it, and it's so frustrating.

If people keep writing me about stuff like this I'm going to close my inbox, or else take my own advice and use the block button. Stop hand-wringing about what idiots are saying on Twitter, or if you're going to do it, please don't do it in my inbox.

Focus on GG and DD and their works. Isn't that what we're all here for? Fandom should be fun!

Whatever you focus on, that's what your experience will be. Just remember that. Choose wisely.

For the next couple of weeks no one is allowed to send me negative asks. If you have any happy, positive questions related directly to GG and DD or their works, please feel free to send them in.

Live life by your own will and not by the perception that society have influence you to do....

Can we talk for a second about how absolutely wild it is that there are some (rich) people who are just *offended* by the idea of a poor person experiencing joy?????

I work at a really high end clothing store (I'm in the coffee shop, so I already get looked down on by these people because I have a black tee shirt and apron on that are both covered in milk), and right now we are having our big anniversary sale, so they hired a DJ to like play music and hype people up.

I have to walk upstairs to get some supplies, and I have a bad knee rn so I use the escalator in the store instead of the hidden stairwell. A lot of the baristas use the escalator.

Anyway. The DJ is playing a song I really like; generic radio pop that has the bass way boosted, but it still is fun???? So as I'm walking to the escalator I'm bouncing a little, dancing a little. Nothing big or disruptive.

But I get on the escalator and I had no less than seven rich old white people giving me the dirtiest looks. God forbid I serve coffee and actually enjoy my job.

God forbid poor people find joy in their lives.

I think we need to take a step back and remember that in the west, anime tends to attract a lot of young fans and immature adults. If you see someone post something whack or showing their ass online or starting discourse, remember:

They are probably a young person who’s brain and sense of how to act are still forming

An adult who has something wrong with them, emotionally.

In both cases you should not engage because that would be immature, petty, and frankly you just shouldn’t do it.

We meet again. As predicted.

If you’re a Louis stan and you’re following me only to mock and insult Niall, please unfollow rn.

Yet another Sansa stan being an Alicent Stan lmao you guys need to stop being so predictable. I don't even hate her show version but the way you peeps love to latch on to a passive redheaded character who accepts her suffering in a feminine woke submissive way is getting comical at this point xD. Stan whoever you want, just keep your same old 'too-powerful-for-their-own-good' Targ takes to yourself thank you

The way you people finds ways to shame and denigrate female characters for how they handle and process patriarchal violence and abuse is absolutely astounding, and imply that there's good victims and bad victims is absolutely ridiculous. None of these characters ''accept'' their suffering. That's such an incredibly disgusting thing to say. They are young girls that live in a society that restricts and limits them, and preys upon them and these are victims to men in power that use that power to use and abuse them as they see fit. That's why (alongside a plethora of other reasons, of course) you're not going to see me shame Rhaenyra for getting groomed by her grown male uncle, or Cersei for getting abused by Robert or Daenerys for being abused by her brother for years and sold to and SAed by a grown man.

All of these characters were stripped of any real choice and power and were forced into submissiveness and passivity by their violently patriarchal society for years and years, and the most meaningful part is seeing them break out of it. Stop making weird connotations to people emotionally connecting to victims of abuse who were regulated and constrained by people that have power over them, and had to survive by enduring and pretending. Like of course this is a narrative that I would be emotionally engaged with considering how much I personally relate to a lot of aspects to it in regards to my own life and experiences, and so many other people see differing aspects of these characters and their hardships, how they endured, who they became and how they broke away from all of the limitations, and it means something to them in regards to their own lives, and that's an absolutely beautiful thing.

Sansa, for example, attempted to kill herself, attempted to push Joffrey off the tower, constantly made digs at him when she could, bolted away and refused to kneel when she was forced into marriage and continuously aimed to get out at the right time. She never ''accepted'' her suffering. She did what she had to do to survive, but there was always steel underneath even as she was only eleven/twelve. There was a lot of power to that, and there was also a lot of power in all of the moments of her faking and enduring these horrors and continuing on pretending regardless. Also, Alicent strode in, interrupted and boldly declared war at her current enemies' wedding. All of these women are forced into horrible positions, had to endure, and break away from it or take control of their lives in their own time. Even if they hadn't endure, or didn't break away from it at the end, they definitely wouldn't be ''worse victims'' for it like you seem to imply. My other issue with the other side of the HoTD fandom is how you all try to dictate who people are and are not allowed to like and what takes people are and are not allowed to have based on your own personal narratives. Also, the ''too powerful for their own good'' isn't just my Targ take, it's the whole conundrum that GRRM explicitly stated he wanted to explore with that family. Like wow I'm talking about what this man wanted his readers to talk about. Big problem. Anyways, if you don't want to see my takes, don't go to my account. Block me instead of immediately checking my account and sending hate in my inbox whenever I make a new post.

make a post of mine that has nothing to do with Astari*n be all about Astari*n in your reblog and get blocked in 1 easy step

Do all the Peggy and Steggy haters who’re bitching in the Peggy/Steggy tags not know how tags work? Like, are they that Tumblr-illiterate? Or do they think that deliberately inserting their takes where they don’t belong will make a difference to anyone besides themselves? Is it ignorance or arrogance.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Ok but then why do people keep saying tme people need to stop talking about the transphobia we face, because it’s not as important as transmisogyny?

And don’t act like it never happens, it does.

(Also, even if it isn’t as big or important, why does that mean we can’t talk about it?)

i actually in fact am going to act like that never happens because it doesn’t. nobody says that. and here’s another bombshell, if they did, the vast majority of transfems (myself included) would disagree with that, because it’s insane! that call is coming from inside the house anon, you just THINK that’s what’s happening. there’s a lotta really obvious bias here that you should be working against

you don’t need to have a scarcity mindset here man we can care about multiple things! when someone says “hey, we should talk about transmisogyny because nobody talks about it and nobody seems to give a fuck”, that’s not saying “the transphobia you face is meaningless compared to us and shouldn’t be bothered with because we’re more important than you”, it’s saying that we’re hurting and dying and in the best case interpretation nobody cares and the worst case we’re being actively silenced; you need to stand with your transfem siblings. seeing women talk about their problems and ask for support should not make you think we want you to shut up forever or that your experiences don’t matter. trans women don’t want to fuck you over or silence you, we just want to be actually heard rather than just paid lip service to

edit: i and the tme people i know have never seen this (wrt to telling tme ppl not to talk abt transphobia) happen, i was exaggerating. i still think that’s fucked and shouldn’t happen, like i literally already said
