#3am rant

[appleballad]

I don't use twitter much anymore (since I got suspended for no reason lol) but I just wanna talk about the /morston bashing/.... It is unbearable on that app. People give the most asinine reasons why shipping morston or really anything that they personally dislike makes you morally corrupt in real life and deserving of harassment. It's really repetitive atp and I roll my eyes at it but all these years later and it's still very much prevalent.

So out of fear of being cancelled there is a severe lack of discourse and in-depth analysis surrounding John/Arthur's dynamic... and vandermorgan too, don't get me started on that.... Everyone loses their hair over a mildly "problematic" fictional relationship. Bunch of fake fujoshis.

It's always selective outrage, depending on what the majority in a certain fandom decides to like and hate on because most claims that deem ships problematic have actually no validity to them.

Take me back to the good old days when it was perfectly normal to fangirl over even the most obscure crack ship. When fiction was just fiction and not a reflection of your morals and political identity.

It's the same with liking villain characters. "you can't like this character!! bc he's EVIL!1!! he did this nd that ur just as evil for liking them you deserve to be tortured and stoned to death blah blah blah"

How utterly boring, and again it doesn't apply to every morally grey character. It hinges on the opinion of which character/ship the majority in a particular fandom elect to unequivocally bully

It's entirely subjective policing, which is absolutely ridiculous. Where do you actually draw the line?

I say if you are unable to engage with fiction on a level that's separate and disconnected from reality, if morally grey fiction corrupts your very soul and compels you act and behave in indecent ways, you should stop consuming it entirely.

Stick to your children's fables, kid.

None of this has any affect on my love for morston, in fact it strengthens it LOL. Shipping morston becomes almost like an act of defiance.

I'm grateful that at least on Tumblr and other spaces I can enjoy the fan art, fanfics or comics and knowing someone out there is raging and seething at the sight of it is kinda hilarious so it makes it all the more enjoyable. It's when they decide to feign moral superiority and launch their sheep following to attack and harass you with their nasty words wishing actual death on you irl, that is when it does get under my skin. That is just too far. But I think that is a reasonable reaction for me to have.

WHO IS CROWLEY

so, with my lack of understanding of christianity i googled some, and i have come to believe, because of the scene where crowley had clearance, which meant highter than a throne or a dominion, which is--apparently--higher than an archangel, i do not believe crowley to be simply raphael, i think, and here me out,

crowley is lucifer

because according to some, satan and lucifer are two different demons, satan is wrath and lucifer is pride, and satan is the father of adam, but lucifer was the one to tempt eve, he was the serpent in the garden, its crowley

Did a nostalgic binge of 2000s barbie movies and realized Aiden from Magic of Pegasus is pretty much the perfect boyfriend. Sure they don't get along at first but it shows their chemistry bc he doesn't touch her unless it's to protect her or help her along the way and he respects her and listens to her and supports her goals. And at the end of the movie, as far as I know, he doesn't just assume they're boyfriend and girlfriend! He tells his dad he'd like him to meet her, which is really sweet and shows how much and how deeply he cares for Annika. Aiden is awesome 🥰🥰

im supposed to be sleeping but i have been laying here for like 20 mins now unable to sleep so im gonna rant about the roe v wade situation and hopefully that'll tire me out enough to fall asleep.

‼️tw: brief mentions of SA, r//pe, & guns‼️

um, first of all, lets just restate this: cishet white men are in control of afab people's bodies. PEOPLE are in control of OTHER PEOPLE'S bodies. is this even fucking america anymore? are we actually going this backwards? is this seriously fucking real???

like i mentioned in another post, i have two friends who are new teen parents. i am very very for them and so excited to meet my new baby niece that they've brought into the world, but they had the choice. they chose to keep her, to have her, and are choosing to raise her. now, MILLIONS of afab people no longer have that choice. hell, even amab people are possibly at risk for entrapment; if an afab person were to r//pe an amab person and somehow force AM to impregnate AF, there's a chance AF could go to court and force AM to pay for a child they never fucking asked for. and thats of the least likely scenarios—dont get me started on what's even more of a possibility.

why are men in charge of women's bodies and healthcare? why do GUNS have more rights than afab people?? are you actually fucking serious??? im still in disbelief over the fact that there are people in the world that seriously think it is justifiable and okay to force someone to go through with a pregnancy they didnt want or ask for, one that they possibly didnt even try to risk, with the potential of the birthgiver dying—and that i have to see some of these people on sunday. yeah, cant wait for that belated mother's day celebration with my dad's family. fun.

the government doesnt care about us. they dont care about those kids, clearly, or they would be doing something to help the millions of kids already in foster care/adoption system. they dont care about queer people, bipoc people, or victims of SA. they dont even really care about other cishet white people like themselves.

they only care about control.

the government is disgusting, vile and absolutely horrid. if you're at all okay with the fact that roe v wade was overturned, block me. im not open for debate, and it is not my job to educate. just fucking block me, because i want absolutely nothing to do with you. /srs

jamil, who loves showing affection by cooking food for his loved ones, making sure the curry is seasoned to perfection and your favourite dessert to go along with the meal.

and you, with zero spice tolerance but so incredibly overwhelmed with gratitude and affection for how hard jamil's worked. and with your favourite dessert right there enticing you, you're determined to finish every drop of curry on your plate.

...

it doesn't go too well.

indeed, you have finished every drop of curry. but you've also downed around 12 cups of water, and the burning in your mouth is still unrelenting. jamil visibly looks concerned with how much water you're drinking and it's unavoidable you address your non-existent spice tolerance.

jamil sighs, and his eyes show a hint of exasperation you often see when he's following kailm's whims. you avert your gaze to the floor, upset at yourself that you've disappointed him and maybe he hates you now how could you not like his fo-

flick!

ouch! your hands reach up to shield your forehead, and your eyes meet his. not exasperated, maybe slightly, but amused and... loving??

"dummy, don't go forcing yourself to eat what you don't like," he sighs

you timidly explain you could never do that with how much time and effort he puts into his cooking

his smile widens slightly.

"for now, i guess i'll be making more desserts for you then,"

he chuckles at the way your eyes light up.

"here," he feeds you a spoonful of the chilled dessert. "is your mouth still burning?"

oh. you don't think it is anymore.

but your heart sure is.

#inspired by that time my crush made me spicy noodles and i finished all of it bc🥺💕💕 #psa!!! drinking too much water at a time can kill you so be careful! #another snippet for my zero spice tolerance ppl!! jamil has to work around that little issue hehe #hes totally planning to learn other non spicy dishes and cuisines #but for now he'll focus on dessert hehe #this is written kinda messily oops #its 3am and jamil wouldn't leave my mind jade is getting mad so here #rinna rants #twstnexus #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland x reader #twst x reader #disney twisted wonderland #twst wonderland #twisted wonderland jamil #jamil viper #jamil viper x reader #twst jamil x reader #twst jamil #twst jamil viper

obsessed with how daud canonically chooses to forgive billie when she gives him the choice between killing her and showing her mercy after she betrays him

obsessed with how just a few months later, daud does the same, placing his life in the hands of a man whose life he completely ruined, asking to be spared and, against all odds, walking away from that encounter alive

obsessed with the alternatives you're given to those options as well

how, if you choose to kill billie in low chaos she helps you guide the blade. how she looks up at you and smiles as you stab her. how you hold her hand as she dies and don't let go even after she's gone

how, in high chaos, you just don't get that choice. her death is brutal, just like all the other deaths at your hand. like she said, what's one more body? but she's not just one more body. she's your second in command, your confidant, the closest thing you have to a daughter. you don't kill her with the same detachment you do for everyone else. you don't simply pull her onto your blade, you grab her by the throat as you stab her. it's brutal and it's personal, and that makes it so much worse

how, if you end brigmore witches with high chaos, corvo will kill you because you are not true to your word. you say that you feel remorse over jessamine's murder and yet your actions speak otherwise. you are not sincere in your words and while corvo may not know that, the game does. and it's telling you that that's the only way it could end. that if daud goes down that path he will not ever better his ways, nor will he be given the chance to. the only way daud can live is if he is actually committed to change

but despite all those options, in canon, daud gives billie the chance to leave and make a new life for herself. and corvo does the same for daud. and that is a parallel i think a lot about

#the chaos system my beloved #this is a long fucking post that i expect exactly no one to read #but i needed to rant about them for a bit #it's almost 3am my brain is soup #dishonored #the knife of dunwall #brigmore witches #daud #dishonored daud #billie lurk #corvo attano #meta posting on main

I have a gripe about the Star Trek mugs...

Picard's teacup is a delicate, fragile little thing held by a strip of plastic and a dream. That thin glass will break if you look at it sideways. And where do they put that ridiculous tiny cup? On the Enterprise, which is always being dragged into conflict

The DS9 raktajino mugs are hefty, wide-based things that are meant to not tip over. They're called no-spill mugs. They have a foam piece on the bottom so they don't slip. They're incredibly sturdy – meant for ships and traveling! Where do they put them? At the station, which is arguably the most stable place they could be cause DS9 rarely gets knocked about.

Far as I'm concerned, Janeway's the only one doing practical space mugs correctly. Come on, a metal travel mug that's as strong as her coffee is black? Takes a beating through 70,000 light years of bridge shakes fighting off the Borg and the Hirogen and still holds a hot drink? Now that's a space mug

#is this the spoon post all over again? am I just insane about dishware? #it's 3am and I'm ranting about space mugs #believe me Picard's teacup is fragile or I just had a bad one #I broke one by putting a butter knife in it doing dishes smdh #I know they all have more mugs but we're talking about icons #I exclusively drank coffee out of the Picard mug until it broke then I retired it #the defiant mug gets a pass cause it's basically the proto Janeway mug they're both thermos Nissan #and the iconic ds9 mug is the raktajino mug I don't make the zeitgeist #inevitably someone is going to come at me for the defiant mug cause this is tumblr where ds9 lives #it's not called Star Trek Defiant though is it? #you say ds9 mug people will think raktajino ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #I have a collection of screen accurate mugs I have a draft somewhere ranking them all #I drink out of the raktajino mug more than Janeway's mostly because hers is impossible to find and honestly the no spill is a good mug #don't get me started on how hard these mugs are to clean #I will fight you about this

Alright everyone it's time I have a serious discussion on how abusive and uncaring the brother's are to Mikey in TMNT 2k12

Up first is the infamous Raphael

just look at how unloving and hate filled his eyes are when he's even near mikey 😱

Next up is Leonardo

You can just see how little he cares about mikey, such a great leader am I right? 🙄

And last but not least is Donatello. The images speak for themselves

Conclusion?

The brother's are not abusive and do love eachother very much and you all obviously don't know what actual abuse is ❤

#I could show way more examples but tumblr sadly won't let me #rip 💔 #what possessed me at almost 3AM to do this #get smacked with the power of brotherly turtle love bitches #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt 2012 raph #tmnt 2012 leo #tmnt 2012 donnie #tmnt 2012 mikey #mini rant

What a worthless animal

#oc: siggy #first image is babies attempting to figure out their ideal limb count #anyway having a bit of a 'never trust how you feel about your life at 3am' moment but i think the artfight brain plague is beginning to hit #dont worry about me im fine #just feeling a lil bad about maybe not being able to clean up the revenges i would like too and theres sooo many i didnt even get to sketch #and am only at like 50% of how much i 'scored' last year so it makes me feel a lil eh like im not doing as much #but ultimately i did way way more revenges even if it mightve been a mistake LMAO so at least thats something #although i feel bad cause i didnt even revenge some of the coolest ones i got!!! augh!!!!!!!!!! #ah well beetles dont have to deal with these problems we should be more like them #if you read my tag rants sorry about the lore on how my brain works you should check out the wooly chafer beetle

#idk if this makes sense but like #generally this is my stance on The Issues #a lot of purity culture in fandom spaces is based on this idea of like. if i don't like this thing it's Morally Wrong for these reasons #and i'm justified in hating on it instead of just letting other people have their own opinions and interpretations #i see a lot of this in the life series fandom specifically and it bothers me a lot #enjoy what you enjoy. other people will enjoy things too. it doesn't matter if it's 'incorrect' who cares honestly #anyway that's my 3am rant for tonight. chillax #astro speaks

honestly i feel like one of the most underrated moments of the kaz & nina friendship is when nina is pretending to be johannus rietveld's heartrender assistant for the auction job and they meet with van eck in the geldrenner.

basically after van eck told colm he'd confirm the "investment" of the jurda fields with the merchant council for kuwei's auction, van eck addresses nina and asks her about her involvement with the dregs. nina then asks van eck about wylan's "kidnapping" and then proceeds to throw the shadiest insult at van eck (that is very iconic of her btw):

like, even though nina finds kaz infuriating and inmoral and has threatened him a couple times, we also see that she cares for him and also respects him a lot, even if she doesn't give a flying fuck about his opinion.

nina literally (though subtlely) calls van eck an idiot and shades him for having crossed kaz and i really love moments like this that show the mutual respect nina & kaz hold for each other in spite of their rocky relationship.

(take also as a supporting point when, in the sweet reef job when nina is cornered by the dime lions, she begins negotiating with them to buy inej time, and she tells them that if they wanted her to go with them they had to go find a way where kaz wouldn't go after her; yes she was bluffing but she's absolutely right: one does not cross kaz brekker and people who do it (insert van eck) are complete idiots)

#i am very passionate about this okay?? #also fuck van eck <3 #nothing quite like a 3am rant #nina zenik #kaz brekker #six of crows #crooked kingdom #grishaverse #shadow and bone #for the curious it's at the end of chapter 29 of ck

I think it can be kinda hard to convey how much it hurts sometimes to exist as a lesbian when your identity has existed as a porn category for decades that caters to a group who you are not only not a part of but who actively oppress and disrespect you, often times in sexually violent ways. and like it's very hard to form a sense of identity when the majority of erotic depictions of your sexuality are deeply uncomfortable and cater first and foremost to men. for me my issue isn't that men like lesbian porn, its the dehumanization and disrespect that comes with it. I have a hard time putting it into words, because a lot of it is based on the intersection between depictions of your sexuality not only catering to a group you aren't attracted to but that group also often being very sexually violent and hateful towards lesbians and women in general. it's hard to develop a normal relationship to sex when you can't see yourself in anything. this isnt even getting into how much worse this problem is for trans lesbians who are lucky if they find really anything that isn't made by people with zero respect and recognition for the existence of trans girls outside of porn, especially not trans girls who don't want to fuck them. I don't know, I think we live in an age where lesbian art and media by and for queer girls is the most accessible it's ever been, but that doesn't mean that the root issue is fixed.

Ok fuck it you know something I've never really quite understood about part of the Leftist vs Liberals debate on voting.

So so so many people act like its either-or. Like you're either dedicating your entire life to voting and promoting politicians and phone banking or whatever, or you're a True Rebel waiting for The Uprising to Come and Solve Everything.

But like. In my experience. Me voting is just me kinda go 'which person seems kinda good? Which one at least sucks the least? ok lemme go vote.' and then its anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour tops of my life. And I still have plenty of time to do Stuff and participate in Conversations about Other Important Things. And also you can admit and acknowledge and understand that the system As Is kinda sorta really sucks ass, but also still admit and acknowledge and understand that at this current point in time we are still living in the suckass system and do something to alleviate the suckass At Least A Little while also working to bolster/create/advocate for Other Systems.

I guess just like. it's not a black or white thing. Between 'top 500 volunteers for a specific politician/voting office/etc' and 'absolutely positively not voting at all' there is a gray area called 'vote and then just do other stuff'.

#out of queue #ani rambles #ani rant #now hang on its time to acknowledge my Privilege(TM) #the first few times I ever voted for anything I was in college and the student center was a voting center #so asides from waiting in a long (~30 minute tops bc early vote) line to get in I didn't have to do a big drive or anything #and at my house there's a voting center thats a like 5 minute drive from my place or a 10 minute drive depending on what election it is #and im ablebodied and have a open (read: jobless) schedule so I can Just Go for the most part #i live in a City so there's probs lots of voting centers at churches and libraries and all across town too #but like. some people act like people saying Hey Go Vote Plz are screaming like #'if you don't donate 200 dollars and 4+ weeks of your time to canvassing and calling and volunteering you are RUINING AMERICA' #when at least from what I've seen its just like. 'can you maybe go fill in a bubble on a Scantron so people like me don't Die Faster.' #also there's early voting and mail-in voting and all that jazz like yeah the current system makes it harder to vote but theres still W AYS #you don't gotta pull up at 6am on Election Day Tuesday yknow? #if i get blasted for this remember as I was: happy and rambling at 3am about greenhouses and solarpunk stuff #plz be nice i beg k bye

Disclaimer: this is 3am rambling. Whether or not this rant ends up being a cohesive thought is between me and God. Also, I'll be switching around what pronouns I use for Shi Qingxuan and He Xuan every paragraph

"Shi Qingxuan should've chosen He Xuan! Shi Qingxuan would never chose anyone other than his brother-" man, if choosing He Xuan was one of the options he was given, I honestly do think Shi Qingxuan would've taken it.

Cuz here's the thing: Shi Qingxuan was thoroughly sick of their brothers bs. They wanted to go their own way, they wanted to break out of the house, they wanted to handle their demons on their own, they wanted to choose their own gender expression without getting told to "put that thing away", they disagreed with their brothers actions and what he did to turn them into a god... they wanted to get away from their brother, but they never got the chance to unpack or deal with any of that because both of their lives were constantly being put in danger (so they were kinda distracted).

And I don't even know where to start with how Shi Wudu had been breaking down their self esteem, getting them to second guess all their wants/desires/choices, and pulling the "big brother knows best" card on them for god knows how long. I know it came from a place of love, but it still had to have done something to Shi Qingxuan's brain chemistry

Shi Qingxuan options were never "He Xuan or her Brother," it was "chose to abandon your luck for both your lives, or chose yourself and become a murderer" so ya, of course she's gonna go with the first option because she's not a terrible person. Shi Qingxuan probably would’ve chosen He Xuan (who was her best friend, who'd been going along with her antics for centuries, who remembered which resturant she wanted to go to even after the breakup), but that wasn't a card they put in her hands, and even if it was, its not a real card if she had to kill her brother to get it. At that point, giving up revenge and finding love again wasn't an option He Xuan had even considered yet, and it'd be unreasonable to suggest Shi Qingxuan should've come up with a secret third option off the top of her head given she only knew the full story for like what? A minute before she was forced to make a choice? And even though she tried choosing the option that would hurt the least amount of people, Shi Wudu could not for the life of him respect her choices. Kinda makes me think Shi Qingxuan never really was given any choices to make in the first place 😒

Anyways, I'm choosing to believe at some point, He Xuan realizes this, spends the rest of her life trying to make amends, they get some time being a ghost couple together, and then they eventually find peace and disappear into the afterlife

#beefleaf #arianell's 3am rambling #he xuan #shi qingxuan #i am tired #both just like... actually/physically tired and tired of people acting like Shi Qingxuan had power to do anything in that situation at all #yes i am choosing to force my genderfluid beefleaf headcanons into a rant post. move along #cuz here's the thing: I'm pretty sure you couldve replaced Shi Wudu for anyone in that situation and Shi Qingxuan still wouldnt do it #theyre just not a killer #but ultimately shi wudu didnt give a fuck about that cuz he care more about winning than Qingxuan's autonomy #id get “Mother Knows Best” from tangled stuck in my head pretty much any time those two interacted
