some people on here could really stand to dial back on the joke homophobic language and joke usage of incel and right-wing memes and joke bullying bc we're really reaching the 'this is not satire of the thing but just the thing' saturation point

i watched poor things last night and i AM ALTERED and now turning this into my entire personality from here on out

she’s sublime and changing and honest and i don’t know if i want to be her or just want her

chronic illness will make you have days where you feel like tearing yourself apart limb from limb and society expects you to just act normal

Okay, so lemme get this straight.

a lot of y’all within the CoD fandom are perfectly fine with Ghost being paired with a stereotypical “American” person —

— but lose your absolute marbles at me for pairing him up with a Native American woman.

Suddenly I’m:

erasing his sexuality and “canon romance” with soap.

fetishizing my own culture.

sending my own ppl back like fifty years.

Okaaayyyyy?

I’m sensing a pattern here. Some of y’all really love to abuse the fuck outta that tumblr anon button to bash OC creators for creating BIPOC!OCs and shipping them with your favorite fictional characters, especially men.

Maybe it’s rooted in your hatred for OCs, or your extreme love for certain canon x canon romances. I don’t know, but y’all gotta chill the fuck out.

I’ve witnessed this before, particularly in the MCU fandom. A hell of a lot of y’all Steve/Bucky fans seemingly burst a hemorrhoid when Black writers pair either men with a Black!reader or Black!OC.

It is true that many of us carry heavy generational trauma due to discrimination, displacement, and attempted genocide as a result of colonialism and colonization. But that does not mean we cannot find enjoyment in certain fictional characters (that also happen to be white as well).

What to take from this? Stop messaging BIPOC — ESPECIALLY INDIGENOUS WRITERS — with the mentality that we cannot enjoy current, modern fandom topics and fictional characters.

And if Ghost being in an interracial relationship with a Native woman pisses you off THAT BADLY that Andrew Jackson would be proud, the block button is right there.

Thank you :)

Watching Charles closely I came to believe that he might have abandonment issues (for obvious reasons), so yeah, I guess he hasn’t been taking Carlos’ departure from the team very well… Of course Carlos isn’t actively abandoning him, but anyways

Ohmygod, anon. You're absolutely right. I mean, it's a logical response to his past trauma, too. I'm not presuming to know the guy, but from what I can see, I just feel like he's really going through the trenches right now. I'm not going to say that they're extremely close, but, just from what we've been able to see about their relationship and the way they talk about each other, I'm ready to assume that they really seem to be close, especially now that we can see Charles visibly reacting to Carlos' departure from the team. I'm pretty sure there's not an ounce of bad blood between them, especially since they've been seeming so much closer ever since before Vegas. I feel like their friendship had time to develop towards the end of their third year together (trauma bonding and all things provided by a very rocky Ferrari car that put them both in uncomfortable situations that only both of them could understand) and so, now that that was blooming, to have it taken from them must be tough. Carlos has been brought up to be much less emotional about his relationships in the paddock, based on interviews alone, yet I think he's been saving up some emotion for their alone time. Charles, though... he seems to be that guy who wears his heart on his sleeve sometimes, and when it comes to this, he doesn't seem too shy to let people know that he really does like Carlos as a teammate and as a person. I mean, they have so much in common, everyone's said it, Mattia, Fred, constantly talking about their competitiveness and how close they'd become when they started to make everything a race... and they probably know each other well. They've shared small spaces, probably had important conversations with one another, they're both in a position where nobody else would get it, except for the other. And they've never, EVER shown disrespect towards each other. So, yeah. Carlos might not be abandoning Charles, but they're both in rather similar situations, and to bring Lewis into the mix, Lewis, with the bigger salary, with the seven titles, with the past experience... it should be something that makes Charles take pause and probably appreciate what he has right now with a guy who's basically in the same level as himself in terms of... I don't know, I guess gravitas. Lewis has so much, and Charles has the whole team behind him, and yet he turns to Carlos as a friend? Maybe we're not seeing how much of an equal footing they have between each other. They've probably discussed even this between them and Charles must be feeling so comfortable with Carlos by his side... This whole thing rocks his whole world, and I would love Carlos' security just as much as Charles is probably appreciating it right now. Sorry, I got totally off the rails with this, but the point is: what this shows me is that Charles really does care, deeply, about Carlos. And it's a wonder to see, honestly. If I were to be completely honest, I saw their relationship much more unilaterally. I felt like Carlos liked Charles more than he liked Carlos. But right now? Wow. I really do see how much Charles seems to appreciate Carlos' company and friendship as a teammate. And it's an absolute relief to me. The fact that he started the year defending Carlos from the italian press and insisting, on record, that they should focus on the fact that they have a whole year together out of "RESPECT FOR CARLOS"? Wow, Charles. You had my eye, before, but right now, you finally caught my attention. Thank you for sending me this ask, anon! I love analyzing stuff and the content has been pouring lately, so I love just to be able to talk about these two guys without restraints 😅

Tumblr is just trying to distract us from complaining about the ✨Tumblr Live✨ feature by rolling out polls.

i hate matty healy (he has fundamentally changed my brain chemistry since the age of 13)

I carnally desire the priest from fleabag so bad I need to have the world's messiest sloppiest qpr situationship ever with him like I know he's a priest and he said all that to fleabag but that's the point. He's a loose end and who said he needs to find another half. He was right. Love IS awful. Let's hold hands and find our own religion.

how to stop feeling like everybody is better than me and they know it and hate me

I need everyone to know, in case they don't already, that every "something happens" cutscene in MOTD is, in fact, a prerendered cutscene. This isn't so much difficult to notice as much as it is difficult to truly process. That means that if I didn't think to organize the folder's videos by their size to find what is an actual, cinematic cutscene, I would have had to navigate through nearly 200 of files of stuff like this:

hi y'all, vic here!! in honour of good omens season 2 finally airing in july i've decided to revive this username, though this time as a side blog because my main (@romanoy) is mostly a succession blog now and i don't plan on changing that anytime soon.

i will make use of this blog the same way i did back when season 1 came out, meaning making edits, icons, headers etc.

any signal boosts are appreciated!!

genuinely there is nothing worse than seeing a great emotionally hard-hitting villain's backstory, being delighted, and then having the heroic character observing it go 'i WOULD be sorry for you, but blah blah atrocities' like bitch try it. try just being sorry. try being sympathetic. see what happens. stop being the no fun 'you must have committed this few crimes to ride' police. live a little

i just got a really good new job and i’m so happy and sometimes things really do work out so well and for the best and life goes in the direction you want and wish for and everything turns out okay :) i hope the start of the year has been going nicely for you all as well :) :)

watching bottoms (2023) right now and the ecstatic joy i felt upon hearing complicated by avril lavigne cannot be put into words

hi! vic here, doing something she TOTALLY said she wasn't gonna do.

Five stabs.  With each stab, she feels the blade pierce her skin, burying its tip deep inside her belly. NO! She wishes to scream aloud, in some desperate attempt for mercy. Not my babe! PLEASE! I BEG YOU! But she doubts her pleas would reach any listening ears. The gods never seem to spare any attention to the commonfolk. The sound of the butcher knife killing her is something terribly ugly to her ears — a loud squelching that accompanies her pained gasps and shrieks. When the arm snaked around her neck releases its bruising grip, she quickly pushes herself away from the man before stumbling up against her prince’s bed.  Oh no, she thinks, perhaps to calm her heavy pants, and distract herself from the blinding agony creeping up her spine. I just changed the sheets, gods! Her chest now hurts, and tears are coursing down both cheeks. All that hard work... for nothing... The two men talk behind her, and one shares a laugh, but she can’t hear anything. I CAN’T HEAR ANYTHING! All she can do is stare at her stomach in silent horror, watching the blood seep between her fingers, down her arm, and puddle at her bare feet. Is it hers? Or the babe’s? She does not know.  MOTHER! She is scared. Terrified. Her bottom lip trembles.  Her twins are dead – their tiny, broken bodies strewn near their father’s desk. One is missing his head, if she is correct. Was it Aemion? Aenar? She cannot bring herself to look at them again. She worries her beloved prince will be standing at the bedchamber door — his handsome face twisted into a glare — disappointed at her incompetence at protecting his heirs. I am so sorry. She glances upward, eyes focusing on the window across the room. Forgive your silly little maid, my prince.

anyways, this is your only warning. a PSA. don't believe me? ask @bbyaemond.

Do you think Charles and Carlos will shed a few tears after Abu Dhabi?

I think they might, of course I do. I think Carlos is a very emotional guy even though he was brought up to be closed off about his feelings (and he really did his utmost to challenge those beliefs and he's shown that he no longer needs to be closed off to be taken seriously in this sport). And now with what we've seen from Charles? Oof. There *will* be tears. They were about to break in Bahrain and it's just the beginning of the year, anon. They will have to swap helmets by the end of the year and I'm willing to bet actual money in them hugging and mayble breaking during the hug. Yeah. I mean, in the car, during the whole chili debacle, I'd bet if Charles were to touch Carlos to reassure him, my man would've cracked. Because that's what I do, if I'm *this* close to crying and someone dares to touch me I break like a dam.

Or maybe they won't show the tears. Maybe. But I don't know, they were teary-eyed during Bahrain. I can't even start to think that they would be able to hold off crying until there's no cameras when their emotions are running that high, especially since it will be their last race as teammates. We will be crying, absolutely, and they probably will, too. 😅
