I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Charlotte did not need this match or that damn belt, nor does she need to be in it at all.
Just let other women have bountiful title reigns without the Curse of Flair coming in to rain on their parades and ruin their runs just to put another notch in her belt.
Charlotte does not need to be champion to be/stay relevant. She is talented enough on her own to do that for herself.
the way that it doesn’t just make me sad but angry that idols are expected to apologize not just for disappointing fans and their members but for harming them by so much as even having a dating rumor bc is it that bad they found love? or something that could become that? is it that bad for the people you supposedly love and support to be happy? yes I know the industry basically runs on the parasocial relationships but isn’t it high time to recognize that someone else’s happiness is not an attempt to ruin yours? that even if it is painful or difficult for you, that is not the responsibility of the idol. they should not need to apologize for their own happiness and events within their personal life which half the time come out as leaks (read: invasions of their privacy) rather than on their own time. and to go as far as to say it implies they don’t deserve their job or should leave their group… artists experiencing things in life? the emotions of affection and infatuation and love and endearment and everything else that comes with a romantic relationship? that’s only going to give them the capacity to create greater and more enriched art. i’m not saying they’re in a relationship to do (and I certainly hope not) but if you need any reason at all to refrain from causing these idols harm in the way you claim their happiness has so deeply harmed and disappointed you, then take it as them living. that life needs art and art needs life.
also I am so. OVER. men just being In The Fucking Way and it’s ESPECIALLY bad at my work or maybe i just notice it more at work because I’m trying to get my job done and they will be in my way not fucking letting me. like not all men are always in the way or whatever BUT. people are Blatantly In The Way a lot and when I say people I mean it’s literally always Some Fucking Dude. it’s not even like my job has a lot of dudes compared to everyone else it’s abt as even as it could get tbh. so like how is it AAAAALWAAAYS some fucking GUY in the way and not ANYONE ELSE. like ohhhhhhhhhh my GOD it will NOT KILL YOU to stand to the side a little bit so someone can briefly pass you oh my god stop ittttttttttt
I do often Wonder who first figured out things that have become seccond nature to us. Like making tools who figured out obsidian is so sharp who first made fire, who figured out seeds. I have no doubt in my mind that they could and they did. I guess I’m just more curious on the specifics of how they figured it out.
