#I think people treat others on here who share any sort of news like they’re actual professional journalists and we’re not #I genuinely don’t think a single person on here is #We’ve just taken it upon ourselves to share the news bc the actual journalists are the ones who mince words and have ulterior motives etc #But usually if someone on here makes a mistake it’s an honest one & they will rectify it if you notify them #You do not have to attack them or say they’re misleading on purpose like I think most ppl on here #Don’t have that sort of agenda. At least the ones who’re fighting for legitimate causes like Palestinian and Sudanese genocide etc etc #I just hope no one on here gets attacked in light of the Samara situation #I just think we should be more open to making mistakes instead of jumping to bad faith interpretations #News have to be accurate but mistakes r also ok and usually a simple communication resolves it #Tumblr is the bad faith interpretation website so I’m not surprised but I also think we need to be more graceful #Bc how else can anyone improve / learn more etc etc #Whenever someone on here shares an opposing opinion it’s not that I dislike that or want to intentionally suppress it #It’s usually just framed in a very inflammatory way that doesn’t even give me the opportunity to give my side and might motivate other ppl #To think I’m basically like a normal journalist who intentionally misleads 💀💀 I am An Iraqi Girl Who Is Trying To Help #At least this has taught me how to gracefully own up to mistakes and take accountability etc that’s pretty cool #Bc even w all that said I think it’s important to hold urself accountable if u do make a mistake regardless of intention. #We just shouldn’t demonize making mistakes bc how can someone grow Ok I’m done

sorry not to be mean but I can’t wrap my head around doing math and basing interest on stats to read fic

#trusting f*ndoms to have good taste?? letting others’ opinions rule out fic?? #besides how easily the stats are skewed by open tabs and site traffic and people simply not leaving kudos despite reading #and secondly. do they also browse books by stats over summaries. i’m curious #dani.txt

like. Nina listens to Taylor, moderately keeps up with the front-facing aspects of her life, enjoys her quality, has her minor critiques, recognizes her place in the current culture, can set her down and do other things when she wants to, and most importantly knows who Taylor is through her art.

#you cannot engage with Taylor completely casually it doesn’t work #you won’t get to know her #you have to let her in. go on a sunset walk with your headphones in and open your heart to her and just HEAR her #and then once you know who she is you can go from there #but there absolutely is this level of refusing to get to know her #and I am truly (once again) not addressing people who have that door simply closed (my mom! my older sister!) #people whose opinions matter so much to me #but I am talking to the people who wrestle and want to love her but actually hate her and idk. I feel that it is something where—- #well it’s like people isn’t it. you have to get to know her without judgment #and without bias #you have to know her FROM her #(which does not involve Easter eggs OR celebrity headlines if you hate both of those things #and then if you don’t like her you do in fact have to leave without making that other people’s problem #especially Taylor’s! #I am thinking of this girlboss journalist who wrote a piece on Taylor the other day #that was LIVID with Taylor for sharing only positive reviews on her insta story #(as is not only Taylor’s right but literally normal behavior??????????) #and was practically foaming at the mouth about how Taylor’s level of power was getting scary #and it’s like. I’m so sorry for swearing but BITCH #a lot of the numbers are out of Taylor’s control and also NOT REAL. Taylor also DESERVES her success and is simply doing her job very well #and riding the waves of virality she knows how to create in ADDITION to that #also stop worshipping power and money!!!! the way you clearly do!!!!!!! #Taylor is not doing anything with it except her job!!!!!!!!!!!!! #she is also CLEARLY a human being who suffers #SEE HER AS SUCH #and end it THERE #INSANE #turning off reblogs for this one #because I have gotten carried away but wow

Something in the back of my mind has been bothering me for a long while, and I figured out what it was. I have this tendency of censoring myself when I speak? I dance around a subject, which I keep hinting at, but never explicitly say what I want to say, and when someone doesn’t pick up on that, I get disappointed when they don’t help me open up to the topic.

#the disappointment deepens and I guess the fear of truly opening up of showing my self flaws and all is scary #in short I’m scared to have an opinion!!! #also when people ask me what I’m into reading to watching oh man I feel the pressure to pitch it and possibly defend it #and instead I just vaguely share what it’s about for the sake of not spoiling the experience #then the envy I feel when other ppl share wholeheartedly what they love and take their time with it explaining #and they explain it so clearly and I wish I could do that #click clack #the problem was so vague it’s taken me awhile to discern #I’m guessing this all stems from being made fun of or dismissed for my interests 😔 #a long time ago but the effects still linger #the fear of being perceived is all wrapped in me #I do the same thing here. it bleeds to all the ways of socializing this day and age #I wish I were one of those ppl who have a more lively social life online and talking to ppl regularly #but my first instinct to a message is to close the notification and leave it for later because it’s so intimidating!!! #it feels like I have to perform an image that’s guaranteed to be liked rather than just be me authentically #ok I got to the crux phewwww uhhh lol got all my vulnerabilities out in the middle of the night

People always commented how Feyre had 3 high lords after her, but Feyre has nothing on what Nesta had going on. Tarquin’s great and all, but Nesta literally had a death god and Eris ready to put a ring on her within seconds of meeting her

I hate pitting women against women but I feel like Fey.re Stan’s are the worst like I chalk it down to the truly toxic ones elevate Feyre to this point because they feel intimidated there’s no other word for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ all 3 sisters have a cool thing but personally I’m so in tune with Nesta that I don’t have much, if any, idea about who Elain and Feyre are other than canon which Nesta is the biggest testament about how problematic that is. But still, I just don’t vibe with them 🤷🏻‍♀️

I CAN point out though that canonically Feyre has not had any Gods or High Lords recognize her besides after proving her tenacity, whereas with Nesta, the Bone Carver doesn’t even know her and calls her as beautiful as a winter sunrise, Helion just looks at her and is stunned, Lanthys smells her scent (I know but oh well) and wants to crown her.PLEASE don’t get me started on Eris x Nesta because I’m a hardcore Neris. Still I like that Feyre is beautiful too in her own right and I think all sisters have a separate beauty with a certain appeal that every reader has a right to relate too but if we want to stay with strictly canon (which largely the problem that that side can’t seem to see past SJM’s word as anything other than biblical) Feyre just doesn’t have what Nesta does. And vise versa. And Elain too 🤷🏻‍♀️. And that’s the point.

#nesta archeron #Nesta is the hottest bitch in Prythian #thanks anon I know what you mean #like nesta is the IT girl #i’m sorry not sorry #anti sjm #just because #I don’t want no one’s opinion #I’m not open on the matter #nesta is sexy af periodt #and the other two they’re cute but idk #I don’t know them #if you want to find stuff about them look somewhere else #pro nesta #acotar series #acotar

long tag ramble below u have been warned

#ok i feel like i should say Something before i start being active again #but i dont want it to be a Statement which is why i’m putting it in the tags #(also bc i procrastinated doing this for weeks so i know this is a very stale topic by now #but i also haven’t been on tumblr literally at all so this is 100% my organic authentic opinion lmao) #so read if you gaf and ignore if you don’t #anyway: george def could’ve done more to ensure she was comfortable #and as someone who has also gotten in over my head with older men and regretted it #her hurt is valid and i’m deeply sorry she feels the way she does about that night #but with that said i see no reason to believe george Should have known how she really felt #or that he deliberately took advantage of either her youth/inexperience or her discomfort #and that’s the most important thing for me— he fucked up and misread a situation but that doesn’t make him an evil person #and i hope they can both move on and grow and heal #as for my future in the fandom: i honestly dunno how active i’ll be going forward #i was already becoming pretty disconnected so this might’ve just sped up the process? i’m tired of being put through the wringer #but i also don’t really have a fandom to replace this so i might just continue casually participating in the way i have been #either way rest assured i will never become a rabid anti. that shits embarrassing #i got HORRIBLE drolo rsd the other day when tommy’s mom needed clout and vagued him so like if nothing else. droloisms are forever #also as a last thing— this feels kinda silly and self centered to say but i will anyway #sorry for not opening up my blog as a forum for discussion again the way i did with the drituation #i know i helped a lot of people sort out their feelings and that was (and is) really really important to me #but it also tanked my mental health (mostly as a result of the fallout and not the act itself but still) #plus my life irl was pretty stressful at the time when everything was first going down #so i just didn’t feel up to putting myself through that again #but i’m sorry if anyone wanted to discuss w me but wasn’t able to #anyway. i think that’s all i have to say! #i don’t want to turn this into a capital D discussion but as always my askbox and dms are open #love you all tons! i hope you’re having a good day 🫂🫶 #bella talks

So you dislike Mai because she wasn’t a “good person” but you still like Azula who was literally worse than Mai ever was? Mai literally saved a bunch of your faves at the boiling rock don’t you think that’s enough to make you like her?

Hello anon!

You misunderstand me. I know that Azula did many bad things. But here is the difference between her and Mai. The narrative treats Azula an antagonist. Mai was also an antagonist. A lesser one, yes, but still an antagonist. Unlike Ty Lee, she joined Azula on her mission willingly and very clearly enjoyed throwing knives at our protagonists. Mai never showed any remorse for doing that.

She would have happily stayed on the side of the Fire Nation even after they were planning to commit genocide on the Earth Kingdom if Zuko had never left. Mai’s change of heart only happened because Zuko was in mortal danger, and to save him, she had to commit treason. She did not save “my faves” as you say. She saved Zuko, and by default, she saved everyone else who was on the gondola with him.

Mai’s own words were, “Saving the jerk who dumped me.” It was all about Zuko. She didn’t care about anyone else. Everyone else who she saved by default was merely collateral. So the fault within the narrative is that Mai saving Zuko is treated as her redemption, when she actually did not feel any remorse for what she did or ever express any discomfort with the atrocities her country was committing. She saved Zuko because she still had feelings for him, not because she believed in what he was doing.

The narrative should have either, properly redeemed her like they did with Zuko, or they should have let her stay as a villain without trying to pass her off as a hero. So the problem is that she is still a villain who is passed off as a hero by having her with Team Avatar at the end, when realistically, they should greatly dislike her.

And as to Azula being worse than Mai. Yes, Azula’s actions did have more of a negative impact than Mai’s. But at least Azula did the things she did for her father and nation. Mai only did the things she did because it benefitted herself. She joined Azula because she was bored and she betrayed Azula to save Zuko because she still had feelings for him. She had no morals and I found her to be selfish. And yes, I do like Azula because I find her to be extremely well written and interesting, and the writers did not excuse her bad actions and try to pretend she was good like they did with Mai.

So no anon, The Boiling Rock isn’t enough to make me like her, because it wasn’t well written at all. Like I’ve said before, Mai had a lot of potential and I have liked her in many fanfics where she has her own arc and is properly redeemed and where she has her own motivations. But as she was written in canon, she was just uninteresting, badly written, and frankly, not very likable.

Thanks for the ask!

#atla #atla ask #ella’s original post #i had a feeling someone would get mad at my answer to the other ask #again this is just my own opinion #if someone interprets the character differently I’m open to hearing it #azula

unpopular shameless opinion but trevor is one of my favorite characters

#she did a lot of shitty things #but no more than other characters #he opened ian up to a lot of new things (specifically about the queer experience) #he also helped him destigmatize bottoming #i think a lot of the shit he did that ppl r upset about has to do with miscommunication and lack of context #ppl say he treated ian’s bipolar in the wrong way but i think he was just looking out for the teens he was charged to protect #i don’t remember if it ever showed ian actually telling trevor he’s bipolar actually #also as smo w bipolar sometimes u do need someone to just tell u ur acting manic (which he did ask ppl to do before) #idk i think trevor was just a normal dude in a weird fucked up situation #that was a lot of tags #but i’m afraid i’m gonna get absolutely shit on for this #also incredibly unpopular opinion but i 1000% understand him breaking up with ian after 7x10 #trevor shameless #not tagging the gen fandom cuz again i’m gonna get shit on for this

Uh wtf was that other anon. Anyway yeah it’s from honkai lol and that’s like their goodbye after beating the shit out of each other. Funny that when my bro was showing it to me he was like they’re best friends but they had to fight bla bla and when i started seeing things on twitter I’m like “smh some hets really can’t see that this two are more than just friends”

The fact that they beat the shit out of each other only makes it more romantic— wait what do you mean their goodbye?

Do they not get to be gay together afterwards?
