Will never, ever, ever understand people still trying to be nice to bigots.
I used to be one of those people. I used to believe in respectability politics, and that having a “civil” conversation with someone who hated my existence would automatically change their ways, and they’d just stop being hateful. I used to think that they simply needed someone to be kind to them.
But the more I was nice to them, the more they were nasty to me, and the more they wanted to hurt me, and when I calmly told them to stop being the way that they were, and they kept going, and I simply ignored them and moved on… I would sit back and think about the fact that I should’ve said more.
I should’ve stood my ground, told them exactly how I felt about them, called them out, and just straight up cussed them out, because they did not deserve any ounce of niceness whatsoever. Because even after all of that, even after trying so hard to convince them to stop being hateful, they were still the same exact person they were before I even encountered them. They were, in fact, even worse than before.
Because at the end of the day, they do not want to change. Bigotry does not give a fuck about facts, about kindness, about growth, none of that shit. Bigotry simply wants to feel superior. It wants to be above everyone else. It demands people to obey it, it destroys and it crawls into holes to fester a foul stench.
Abusers do not give a fuck about being better, about wanting to change. Abusers want power.
So now… I no longer care about being nice. Especially since niceness is a product of capitalism. A product of upholding the status quo and “keeping the peace”, aka making the bigots comfortable, and ignoring those who are oppressed.
I say what I say, and I mean every fucking word, because I’m tired of spending all of my energy on something that was never worth it in the first place.
I was told I was too nice, and I needed to “learn a little spite”, as a friend said to me. Well, I’ve learned much more than that. I’ve learned to be fucking nasty, and that is what I always will be.
My voice is my strength, and my greatest weapon.
Since y’all wanna fuck around and find out, oh be my fucking guest. Cause I got time.
This voice has been hidden for years. This voice has been boiling beneath the surface, begging to be released, and I will not bite my tongue.

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

the way some people reacted to David Jenkins and Neil Gaiman saying their shows would only have 3 seasons is so funny because I saw so many feeling devastated while I am so relieved and relaxed about it. don’t get me wrong I love getting more content with the characters I love but… normalize cohesive storytelling. normalize ENDINGS. do you REALLY want another s*pernatural????

Pt I good omens but i've never watched it
i've never seen good omens but it's all over my tumblr dash so this is what I've gathered can someone please confirm if i've got it right
there's a demon named crowley
there's a biblically inaccurate angel named aziraphale but like it's very sexy when the demon calls him 'angel'
the demon and angel have been married for 6000 years and they still keep looking at each other all sappily
Neil Gaiman is somehow involved, I think he's the writer but also he's on tumblr (uh, @neil-gaiman) and people keep questioning if he's real
is neil gaiman like a fandom inside joke why is everyone asking if he's real
there actors are called michael and david and amazon prime thought they were the same
there is a bookstore and crowley is sad
they kiss and it is very nice and desperate and crowley says we could have been us. i have no context for this. someone is going to heaven i think.
there is a god, i'm not sure if they're good or evil though
the demon wears sunglasses
it's a comedy but for some reason everyone's crying after whatever the last season was, are you guys okay
things are on fire
they are very gay
there was a book and at one point they switch bodies
more fire and crowley screaming
they are called ineffable husbands i dont know what that means
they fight crime or they do crime or they fight crime by doing crime i really cannot remember which
gay
