lmao you're so angry that you know shit about radfem so made an entire fucking essay of actually... PROVING IT??? of made up facts to make radfems look like a boogieman liberals wants us to make 😂 it's so pathetic omg, ok step by step:

1)lol what? radfem is about WOMEN, woman's safety, it doesn't matter who exactly was the abuser, what matters is to help female victim because it a movement about WOMEN. Take your head out of your ass.

2) Laetitia Ky, Artė, any south Korean radfem cuz any other type of feminisms won't work there hundreds of woc radfem here just 🗿

3) lol what? did you just imagined it yourself lol?? i'll repeat, radfem is about women well being, it doesn't matter who exactly was the abuser, what matters is to help female victim because it a movement about WOMEN not victims of abuse. and it just so happened that men commit about 90% of abuse, that's a statistic you can google go educate yourself

4) didn't libfem tumbler came out with this bs? it's the same labeling woman, putting them into unneeded categories that liberals like so much? i'll repeat, radfem is about women well being which means no separation from one another and no judgment especially about your sexuality. Take your head out of your ass.

5) ohhh yess we all just haaaaate ace.... no lmao. no one gives a shit, maximum is questioning the label itself cuz it's pointless, your asexuality is a low libido. no radfem gives a shit.

6) lmao where do you take this shit? 😂 can i take your narco dealer's number? also, oh what's this? several public researches that proves that TIMs exhibit a male-type pattern of criminality? rapes in prisons where trans women were sent? hundreds of assaults in public restrooms??? wow shocking!

7) you don't need to be saved, some therapy, cuz i doubt you'd like to be beaten/choked/ect in any other circumstances. another question does it not bother you that your partner would enjoy "playfully" hurting you? in short it's called coping mechanism to deal with abuse and trauma, go educate yourself

8) yeah for some reason we don't support child trafficking, rapes, murders, pedophilia and etc. that comes with prostitution. go watch interviews with those who escaped prostitution, they all hated it. they were abused and traumatized. Take your head out of your ass.

9) hun, we don't hate you we pity you at worst. it's not our job too look out for men, it FEMENISM it's about WOMEN and only WOMEN. adult human female, comprende?

and listen i may not be the best person in the world but at least i'm not spending my life chronically online writing incest fics ;) one again, pull your head out of your ass and educate yourself, here's some masterpost https://manlarp.tumblr.com/post/667874370724691968/accessible-radfem-ideology-masterpost bye bye :)

Saying "WE ARE ALL ABOUT WOMEN" doesn't change shit. You once again proved my point by saying that my experience with radfems spewing out abuse apologism towards me when they thought I was being abused didn't happen based on nothing but your favorite go-to defensive line. YOU didn't see it thefore it didn't happen to ME. Way to prove you guys don't try to silence women who disagree with you by trying to exactly that.

And yeah, I know there are woc of who are TERFs. There are also women who are even more misonygistic than some men. There are plenty of slavic countries where nazism is still a big thing even though Hitler hated slavs. Self-hating idiots have existed and always will. Doesn't change the fact that you fuckers are racist all the damn time.

"We don't care if people are ace, we don't devide women" literally a quick search will show that you guys do. A bunch of the anti-ace discourse was literally INVENTED by radfems, something they are very proud to admit. And plenty of queer radfems are biphobic all the fucking time, something I, a bisexual woman, have to put up with every single time one of your friends comes bother me. Go lie to someone else, bitch.

"Those who ESCAPED prostitution hated it" Yes, people tend to hate things they were forced to do. Doesn't change the fact that you guys are more concerned with making women who WANT to do sex work be labelled as criminals than with punishing human traffickers.

And once again, we have you being all condescending. "Let ME tell you what YOU want. Let ME tell you what makes YOU feel safe." And gotta love how you heard me say I'm kinky and immediately assumed I'm submissive, instead of a dominant or a switch. And then of course you have to go for the slut shaming of "You write kinky porn therefore you are automatically wrong."

"FEMINISM IS ONLY ABOUT WOMEN" Which is why it is dying. If your movement cannot accept that the world isn't black and white, and that societal hierarchies are much more complicated than just Group A is always the all powerful one and Group B always gets screwed over, it WILL fail because it will be ignoring real problems for the sake of keeping a narrative alive. Which is why nobody fucking likes radfems, and the world would be better off if you idiots were gone.

I don't need to read your bullshit, because you idiots will scream your nonsense at me all the time, like you just did. And not once have any of you ever said a single word that was worth listening.

Don't bother sending me more asks, I'll just block you. Go larp with your fellow radfems about every single woman who has a problem with you guys is "brainwashed by the patriarchy" because there's no way you guys could EVER be the problem and that your "activism" is as shallow, stupid and fake as you are.

#asks #fuck radfems #fuck terfs #fuck swerfs

Fanfic Recs

One fanfiction recommendation for each of my fandoms on AO3!

If anyone wants a particular genre (Harry/Hermione, Merthur, Harry is raised by someone else, Percico, God Percy etc.) send me a PM or comment and I'll see if I have something!!

Harry Potter: The Sum of Their Parts by holdmybeer

I literally have no words to describe how incredible this fic is. Dark Lord Harry Potter usually has unreasonable descents into darkness, ridiculously perfect Harrys and breakings of friendships, but this one gives it a whole new twist. Harry as a dark lord in this is VERY believable and his relationships with Ron, Hermione, the other Weasleys and the DA remain as strong as in school and become better in fact. Teddy is adorable and Harry is a wonderful godfather. The struggle with his conscience on what he's doing, Harry's immense magical power, Hermione's in depth knowledge and Ron's advice and strategy and their teamwork, and the technicalities of being a Dark Lord are very well described. Gen, with no focus on relationships. It ends abruptly, and the emphasis on the title itself rather than the deeds of a Dark Lord is a bit weird, but it is AMAZING. Check it out!

2. Marvel Cinematic Universe: Never Odd or Even by memoriaeterna

Are you looking for something to heal you from No Way Home? Or in fact from Endgame, Loki or WandaVision? Featuring BAMF Peter Parker, redeemed Loki, Peter and Loki friendship, Irondad, Stephen and Peter friendship, Wanda and Peter friendship, good!Thanos and Hela (well, sort of, anyway) and time travel, this fic is IT. One of the best fics I've read. Purely gen as well.

3. Merlin: Seeds of Darkness by N16

A realistic Merlin fic beginning from mid-Season 5 that reveals Merlin's magic and has a happy ending? Surely not! What I really loved about this fic was that it didn't follow the 'Prophecies are BS! Arthur learns about Merlin and is immediately horrified about what he's done for 'destiny'' route. Arthur does confront Merlin about this, but it is a consensus that prophecies are something to be wary of, and that destiny IS a very strong force. With a lovely Arthur and Merlin friendship, a wonderful take on Mordred and his relationships with Merlin, Arthur and the knight, a fix of Gwen and Merlin's friendship, Gwaine and Merlin friendship, BAMF Merlin, and a realistic progression of wary-and-slightly-horrified-Arthur-and-knights to them accepting the magic, this fic is one of the BEST. Gen, with Arthur/Gwen.

4. Chronicles of Narnia: Grey England by Alara

This fic is a lovely incomplete piece of how the Pevensies adjusted to being children again and back from Narnia. A very realistic take on how they didn't lose the qualities that had made them the monarchs of the golden age, but retained their childishness and flaws as well. Lucy's struggles at school, the Pevensies' close relationship, the friends of Narnia and Susan's drifting apart are all splendidly done. Gen.

5. The Queen's Gambit: The Slav Defence by Skellypup

This fic is still in the beginning stages, and the first chapters are not very well formatted, but the premise is interesting. Time travel has given Beth an incredible opportunity, and her reconnecting (for her) with Mr. Shaibel, Jolene and Alma, and her struggles with her addiction are very relatable. Gen for now, with tags suggesting Beth/Benny later.

6. Song of Achilles: My Grave; My Heart by fouryearslaterdrabbles (Cheshire Cat Life)

A cute oneshot about Patroclus remaining beside the grave and interacting with gods who are now forgotten. Mostly Gen, but hints of Patrochilles (mostly pining).

7. Miraculous Ladybug: Strings Attached by macaronize

A light soulmates AU. Identity shenanigans, misunderstandings and heartache ensue. The resolution could have been better, but it was definitely a fun read. Marinette/Adrien, side Alya/Nino.

8. Sherlock Holmes (Downey Films): Marriage a trois by Sorrel

Maybe Mary Morstan/John Watson/Sherlock Holmes isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I love the relationship and I ADORE this fic. Both Mary and Sherlock are of course already in love with John, their falling for one another is gradual and believable and everyone's characterization is incredibly on point.

9. The Hunger Games: The First Rebel by Linquist

The first and only OC-centric fic I'll recommend in this list, because Cara and this story are amazing. A brilliant take on an alternate 75th Games involving relatives of victors. Cara is a character with incredible depth, and the other OCs - Kol in particular - strike true as well. This story is complete, with a sequel underway. Meant to be Gale/OC, but Gen until now.

10. Frozen: Chaste as Ice by Karis the Fangirl

Not a particular fandom of mine, but this story is really very good. Kristoff/Anna and their impetuous natures, Kristoff and Elsa's friendship, Kristoff's protectiveness over her and a discussion on the realities of being a female ruler. Just. . . Sweet found family fluff.

11. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries: Hypotheticals by Matril

Fanfiction within fanfiction! Lots of relationship fluff. Ingenious idea of alternate scenarios of what could have happened being discussed by the characters themselves. Lizzie/Darcy.

12. Carmen Sandiego: Saved For Memories by Rueitae

A fic exploring Player and Carmen's friendship. Player is kidnapped by VILE and the faculty's characterization is outstanding. The metaphor used for the rescue is heartbreaking, and it's always nice to see Carmen outsmart the villains! Gen

13. Descendants: you love a pretty girl with a twisted mind by meliebee

Headcanon of a fic detailing the growing up of the Isle kids. Rotten Four as family and BAMF Mal. Gen, with Ben/Mal at the end and slight Uma/Mal and Harry/Mal.

14. Enola Holmes: In Spite of Ourselves by Eienvine

Angst galore! Enola not knowing how to emotion, pining, lovely family moments with Sherlock and Eudoria and a good old kidnapping to resolve it all. Enola/Tewskesbury

15. Kane Chronicles & Percy Jackson: The Death God Alliance by Asilda

I can't recommend this enough!! This series is beautiful. Nico stumbles across the House of Life, gets a god inside his head, nearly sparks an inter-pantheon war and befriends Carter and Sadie. Featuring the big brother Percy we should've gotten. Gen. Later fics feature Percy/Annabeth.

Hope you enjoy the fics!! Reblog and comment!

I always laugh at the stupid af discussion of language/race barrier for musical artists as if the world was America. "They're popular despite not singing in English" newsflash the rest of us don't speak English and we are not all white. That's a moronic meter for merit.

#maybe you're racist af idk the rest of the world since forever is dominated by big music acts w a lot of money #usually they're anglophones but Korea is too full of money for marketing #then there's the rest. in Europe is typical to hear different languages at the radio although less than English #black latins slav asian artists are common and no one looks at their faces to decide their worth #this argument is so provincial and is only done for woke points also bc so many world citizens are mixed so what where they come from #yeah but my fave sings in a different language well Kathy from florida all my faves did and 10%of ppl understands English alone #it's just idgi it's not ur nor your fave merit not to be white and British/American it's the same bs as the working hard but still sucks #or success based on comparison on legends from decades ago when it was all different #and then their fave is privileged in their country but they choose to ignore that

Hi Mew,

I realise now I was a petty b*tch about You’re My Sky, and I should have given it a try before. Because it’s pretty good, well-balanced stories, no real unhealthy behaviour yet. (i.e.: I love this show and I’m becoming slightly obsessed 🤩, I especially like the Tupfah/Thorn couple and Aii is the sweetest character ever. Don’t let anything bad happen to him! 🥺)

HOWEVER, I still think the soundtrack of YMS is just…weird and seemingly completely out of tune with what the show is supposed to convey. idk, I just don’t feel it, sorry. 🙆‍♀️

Anyways, happy Satur-gay! 😚🏳️‍🌈

Love,

— Thel. 💚

Hi Thel~

By the way my name is Vilu (it's actually my nickname but I don't really use my full name).

My blog name is a combination of my 3 main fandoms.

1. Me -> MeU, f(x)'s fandom name.

2. W -> Mewlions, Mew Suppasit's fandom name and

3. Light -> ST🌟RLIGHT, VIXX's fandom name

Unfortunately the first two are a bit similar and I couldn't really (or didn't want to actually) think of a another way to combine them. So basically up until now I was the only one who knew that fact.

Anyway, about You're My Sky, your girl here has been so busy with work I can barely keep up with anything at this point. I still haven't watched the last 5-6 eps of The Player and the only thing I am able to watch is Not Me.

But judging from your excitement the show sounds promising. Hopefully when work stops being such a HUGE pain is the a**, I'll be able to give it a try. The soundtrack is indeed a bit... Weird (?), confusing (?), I don't know what happened... Maybe after Bad Buddy my bar is set too high in everything.

Sorry for replying so late, I'm slowly starting to feel super sleep deprived and extremely dehydrated, not a very good time.

Thank you for being around though~ ❤

PS. Must be cool having a cool last name, especially star related. Mine is some plain, mainstream, slav bs. I hate it so much that one of the main reasons I wanna get married in my homeland (Bulgaria) is because I wanna take my future partner's last name. But wait a second, I'm single 😂

#f(x)#mew suppasit #vixx #MeU #Mewlions #starlight #you're my sky #the player series #not me series #bad buddy

I have a genuine question about grishaverse because something has been bothering me and that niggling feeling is frustrating. I’ve gotten the impression from past posts of yours that you’re Slavic, I am too (Russian, but raised in the US), and I just...it feels like Bardugo used our culture for aesthetics. And this bothers me. It feels like she’s exoticized it and because it’s not a negative presentation versus the typical villain role, it’s fine. But it stills feeds into these holdover stereotypes of Slavs as other. But I want to get over it! Because SO many people I follow are getting into it. And because if it weren’t for this factor, it would be right up my alley. Plus, I liked SOC well enough when I read it. How do you ignore those elements and just enjoy it? (I swear this isn’t judgmental, I’m just dealing with a lot of FOMO 😕.)

Hi! Yes, I am Slavic! Glad to have another one of us here ^^

Your concerns are very valid. I had the same ones, I always do when we get representation in American media. The way Slavic people have been portrayed as dumb thugs, villains, and just as barbaric, has been a frustration of mine since forever. (And also the fact that to Hollywood Slavic means Russian - no offence to you!)

I’m gonna be honest and say that I don’t know if she did that. My understanding of cultural appropriation is very limited. Adding to that, she took her inspiration mostly from Russia, and since I’m not Russian (my country was part of the block but not the union), I can’t really make a fair judgement, yk.

From my perspective, it seems that Leigh did make an effort to research the culture. I can see in her writing that she respects the culture and wants to show it in a positive light. Since the whole story of the first 3 books (shadow and bone, siege and storm, ruin and rising) take place in Ravka, which is the equivalent of Russia, you can’t really portray everyone as a barbaric villain. And she didn’t. I can’t even think of characters that followed that stereotype. I don’t see the drunkard stereotype either. I mean characters indulge in ‘kvas’ but never more than i’ve seen in other stories, yk. The characters are not limited to their typical national traits, but are in fact very diverse and colourful. I don’t get the feeling of being portrayed as ‘other’ since the POV is Alina’s who is Ravkan. I dont get that sense in SoC with Nina either.

I liked the integration of Orthodox Christianity with its many saints and relics and rituals. Though at times it did really feel like a foreigner writing about it, rather than a believer (or an ex believer raised in the religion lol).

Ok, i take it back, there is one character that would fit the stereotype, but I’m not sure he was Ravkan. I think he was Shu (equivalent of China)?

One thing that annoyed me is that Leigh didn’t get the names right. It’s something Americans never do right when they write Slavic people. It should be Alina Starkova, not Starkov, which is the male version of the surname. Zoya Nazyalenskaya, not Nazyalensky.

As whole, I was happy with book. Maybe because we so rarely get any books set entirely in Slavic countries where the culture is not actively mocked, or the POV is not of a foreigner that comes to bring us civilisation or any of that other BS. I hope this paves the way for more writers to do that (properly) and maybe explore other Slavic cultures - we are all so rich in history and mythology (i mean you’ve seen the Witcher...).

Also i was just happy i can finally read and understand the ‘fantasy’ names correctly lol.

I hope this answers your question. Sorry, I’m not the most eloquent. If you have other questions, my ask box (and dms) are open!

That Krispy Cat: A Warning, part 3

The last of the images cause I don’t want this bitch on my computer anymore.

Knowing tumblr I kept the images hidden JUUUUST in case no one reads the fine print and can’t tell I’m being critical of this and gets me in trouble.

VVV ((Just in case you thought the JewishGriffon piece assured everyone that Crispy couldn’t POSSIBLY hate people of color, some of her earliest Nazi art had her character Klaus beating up Amigo Bear. She also made Amigo into a liberal strawman. )) VVV

((Dialogue to one of her TROLLARIOUS pictures that featured Amigo:

Amigo Bear: *muttering* "Your leader was a !@#$% little #@%^!@$^*!, you fascist feather duster..." General Klaus: "Fräulein, Ich vant you to cover your ears und shut your eyes as tight as you can." Crispy: "How come, General?" General Klaus: "Klaus ist about to say und do very bad sings zhat he does not vant his little Edelweiß to see or hear." Crispy: "Alrighty!" General Klaus: "WHO SAID ZHAT ABOUT DER FÜHRER? WER DIE FICK GESAGT? WHO'S ZUH SCHLEIMIG LITTLE COMMUNIST-SCHEISS SCHWANZLUTSCHER DOWN ZHERE, WHO JUST SIGNED HIS OWN DEATH VARRANT? NIEMAND?! GOTTVERDAMMT STALIN SAID IT! HERVORRAGEND! VHICH VUN OF YOU VANTS TO BE ZUH FIRST TO FIND OUT ZUH HARD VAY VHY MEIN FEINDE CALLED MIR DER BUTCHER BIRD?" ))

^^^ ((BUTOPHERARTISGOODSOYOUCAN’TCOMPLAIN

also the disc. for this pic before it was deleted had a ‘joke’ about cooking Jews in ovens. Oh and yes, that IS Hitler she’s giving that ugly ass cupcake too.))

^^^ (( - Thanks dA I never would have known I had a notifications unless eclipse blah -

This is one of her rants about how #Triggered she is that Starlight be compared to the Nazis when she runs a communist cult. Because A) that’s the real problem here and B) I too get upset when people say my OC is based on Jeffrey Dahmer when he’s so CLEARLY based on Ed Gein, Bwwwaaaah D> D> D> !)) ^^^

VVV ((Ugly art of her friend’s awful OCs.)) ^^^

VVV ((Crispy showing off why no one wants to be a patriot in our country.)) VVV

((FYI, Crisp, that attitude will make the Hamilton fans stronger so just keep that SJW-flinging coming you little SJW.

WHAT?! Social Justice is a broad term and as Crispy’s plainly demonstrated, you can circle it around and make a majority-class sound like the real underprivledged if you have enough fancy frou frou know-how and furries. Also, if a Social Justice Warrior constitutes someone who takes their cause soooo seriously that they’re annoying/petting/cruel/stupid about it....idk I think Crispy qualified.))

^^^ ((Crispy and her friend muse about what other races occupy the world of MLP in her headcanon. This, more than any other dA disc. and picture shows you her brand of “Segregationist-Nationalism is OKAY” thinking, cuz the art of these different races isn’t super offensive or cruel and neither are the characters. BUT if you scratch under the surface you’ll find that Crispy really likes these different people staying in their place and not in “someone else’s” country.

THEN, this same kind of thinking is used to convince you any mix of cultures is just cultural appropriation, again acting like she and her Nazi-stans are the only ones standing up to actual bigotry.)) VVV

^^^ ((Crispy makes the world a worse place by bringing up actual decent points; like how Americans dress Thanksgiving up as progressive and for the natives when we all know that’s not true...all to better her worldview.

fyi, GET OUT whenever you see a selfproclaimed Nazi fawn over Native Americans, because: Nazi Germany had a deep fascination with American Indians and used their struggles about their land being taken away from them to justify their eugenic genocide.)) ^^^

^^^ (( Crispy laughing it up on Furaffinity how she couldn’t be banned from her Furaffinity and then mysteriously never using her site there wowie.)) ^^^

^^^ (( Crispy complaining about SOPA cause her freedom of speech and blahblahblah.

Freedom of Speech is important. Unfortunately what people like Crispy don’t understand or care for is there’s no freedom of consequence. )) vvv

VVV ((LOL Joseph Mengele was such a stinkah let’s tell blithe jokes about him. At least WE AREN’T LIKE HIM!!!)) VVVV

VVV ((Early onset eugenic BS from her Spyro stuff that would be easy to miss if you didn’t know what this woman was talking about)) VVV

((Crispy admitting she thinks gays are pointless cuz they don’t reproduce but apparently loves them anyway. Also big shock Crispy’s seen Hetalia.)) VVV

VVV ((Crispy probably wanting Weeaboos to attack her cuz aren’t Japan’s animations so laaaaaaazy?!!?!? GUUdd think’ I’m a naziaboo! Germany’s never made any shitty animation evah. You know what, I lied. She doesn’t deserve Hetalia. She just doesn’t.)) VVVV

VVV ((Crispy dragging Brazil down with her as the apparent “Best South American Country”. Yikes.)) VVV

VVV ((More “it’s trolling ergo it’s not harmful” shit. Bulgarians probably do deserve their own Care Bears, but they certainly don’t want yours Crispy.)) VVV

VVV ((Disc. for her Richard Spencer bear art)) VVV

------

I know, I know...this isn’t what you wanted to read today, guys. I know it’s offensive and I’m sorry if it made you ill. I also know I’m putting my own blog under fire by showing these images here but I think that should say something about dA’s bad policies that this art gets a filter slapped on it and nothing more when the artist is blatantly pro-fascist.

Crispy resonates with me so much - and no it’s not cause I DARED to be “triggered”.

It’s because, for one, she was talented. I MEAN I HAVE EYES! That’s some nicely drawn digital stuff I’m not gonna deny. She had some cool rewrites and sequel ideas that, had it come from someone else I would have eaten up and faved to hell and back onceupona2012. But I didn’t, where a ton of MLP and furry fans did because they undervalued their own talents and would say “well it’s pretty who cares about the message?”

Unlike so many commercial+published artists, it’s REALLY hard to separate the art from the artist here because the artist is so connected and a part of her art and storytelling. If you fav her art, even if you didn’t like her, that was telling Crispy she’d won. It’s so defeating to have other artists say their gonna ignore their gut for the sake of prettypretty-Don-Bluth style art. And yes, that stigma DOES affect my view on 2D purists btw.

Crispy was so holier than thou’, and that attitude also was appealing to dA folks, not to mention her knowledge of art history by the time she dropped off the radar. Crispy was the kind of person who’d make long, detailed, justified rants against the design and color choices in Hazbin Hotel and then a bunch of antis would eat her redesigns up only to learn the awful truth later and embarrass themselves cuz they were so taken up by the craft they didn’t know they were reblogging a fucking Nazi.

Not to underplay Viv’s wrongdoings of course, but I’m sorry; the two aren’t comparable on the problematic artist meter. THAT’S HOW BAD CRISPY WAS.

If this somehow was just a faze and she’s come to her senses or doesn’t really think this shite she preaches...I don’t care. She said some vile shit and fuck no I’m not forgiving her. It’s like KenDraw or Shadman. You’ve changed your life around and realized you’ve done/drawn nasty shit that’s done real harm? Cool....I’m still not talking or ever promoting you, ya dingbat. You ain’t no Roman Polanski or Doug Tennaple. You’re a singular internet artist and any support of the project has to go to you - and you suck!

ThisCrispyKat was a wakeup call that showed me these people not only still exist but will be allowed to get away with it. I was very touchy bout this kind of thing back in the day. Fuck, I STILL AM TOUCHY. The rabbit holes I found thanks to Crispy opened up to reveal communities where people think my hair color’s going extinct. People would detail how much they wanted to rape me - a natural blonde - and kill my friends and family for not looking like me. That they want to jerk off in my naturally curly hair and see me in glowy German princess gowns preparing them dinner.

Crispy and other Nazistans would look at me; a blond-haired blue eyed Polish/German American woman and think I need to be “fixed” because I DARE to repeat propaganda that the Nazis were bad. They’d call me a traitor for thinking that celebrating the Nazi party ISN’T German pride.

HOW DARE YOU TELL ME THAT’S GERMAN PRIDE! I’LL SHOW YOU GERMAN PRIDE YOU EGOSTROKING-LIMPDICKED ATTENTION WHORES.

People like Crispy make it 1000x harder to actually show interest in German things. Because I AM interested in German shit btw.

Like for real: it’s a country I’d love to visit one day (at least the black forest, which is where my mom’s fam comes from). I love German art and German fairytales slap. I really do want to explore my heritage through art and stuff.

But guess what? Much as Crispy would argue to the contrary I DO know my WWII history and beyond and FUCK YOU if you honestly think jerking it to cuddly Nazi-furs is empowering or just “showing your interest in history”. Take your own advice and read a god-damn book.

TL;DR: I DO NOT have to be proud of Nazis to enjoy German culture and if you think otherwise, FUCK YOU. It’s a slap in the face to everyone even if you are ‘just trolling’ and it in no way values actual German’s feeling on the matter. It’s annoying how people undervalue real people just for the sake of fan art.

The Nazis were evil. They were racist, eugenic-genocidal idiots who killed over six million Jewish people, Romani, Slavs, Jehovahs Witnesses, disabled people, Poles, homosexuals and prisoners of war. They would have killed my dad’s side of the family if they were in Poland at the time. They made bullshit tanks that killed the people making them and didn’t work on the battlefield. Their leader was a fat, farting one-testicaled bastard who preferred animals to people.

They ruined everything for everyone and then took the easy way out, leaving the Germans that were left in the hands of the also-genocidal Soviets and Americans. Germany is still paying their war debts and now, 70-80 years later everyone else wants to laugh off this dark period of history with memes and forget what they did, and as such, are forgetting the victims of the genocide.

I have 0 tolerance for Nazi things for the sake of HUMANITY, let alone the individual groups they target. I don’t have to have German ancestry or know a single Jewish person to tell you any of this. It’s fucking history.

Eat shit.

I’ll Take Her Place (Chapter 12)

Summary: AU. When Allura breaks the news that she is to wed Prince Lotor in order to continue the peaceful relationship between Altea and Daibazaal, Pidge knows that she has to do something to change that. And so, with a little help, she comes up with a new plan. A better plan

Pairings: Keith/Pidge (main) ; Shiro/Allura (minor), Hunk/Lance (minor) ; Lotor/Allura (one-sided)

Chapter 1 - Previous - Masterpost

Also posted on AO3 and fanfiction.net

Today in writing with me: I make up some BS about Altean power sources and crystals. But hey, I finally finished this chapter! Kidge week had me taking an unintentional mini break from writing this fic, but now I'm back.

Chapter 12

Navigating the Waters of Galran Courtship,

A Handy Guide

By Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe

For my dear friend, Honerva.

Chapter Five: The Giving of Gifts

So, you've spent time getting to know one another and it's time to take the next step in your courtship!

“But, Coran, how will I do that?” you ask. Worry not, friend! This humble guide is here to help you!

After the usual rigors of spending time getting to know each other, it is time for the gift giving to begin. Either party may start this process and while some may wish to adhere strictly to alternating who is giving the gift, there is no rule saying it is necessary. In fact, the only thing to keep in mind is that no outside help can be given in deciding what the gift will be. It must be something that comes from the heart! This is why the first step in Galra courtship is so important. If you've truly put in the effort to get to know one another, this will be as easy as spotting a glittering horphlump on the fields of Atrarta!

This tradition began with Emperor Vanark the First, who wished to prove to the one he loved just how much he cared for them and how he would provide for them and any of their future children...

Pidge had no idea what she was going to do.

Sure, things were going well between her and Prince Keithir. They had mostly overcome their awkward silences and lengthy pauses and she felt like she'd mostly grown comfortable with marrying him in just five more months. (At least, she no longer had that mildly bitter feeling about what she'd gotten into.) But it'd already been a full month and, according to Empress Honerva, they were meant to be moving into Step Two of their courtship.

What could she possibly get for a prince who could get anything he wanted just by asking for it?

Sure, she had ideas – half a dozen of them, at least – but either they didn't strike her as the perfect gift or they would take too much time to put together.

She had to get it right.

“You look like Shiro does every time he has to be around Slav for longer than ten minutes,” Lance remarked.

Hunk looked at her thoughtfully for a few seconds and then shook his head. “Nah, there's not enough pent up frustration for that. It's more like... Oh!” He snapped his fingers in excitement. “That one time Allura wanted to teach her mice a new acrobatics routine, but couldn't come up with the perfect grand finale!”

“You're right, but there was also that other time when you--”

“I'm starting to regret agreeing to go on patrol with you two,” Pidge interrupted dryly. “Can we talk about something else? Or just focus on what we're supposed to be doing?”

“We could, but you look like there's something bothering you. Is there anything we can do to help?” Hunk asked.

For a moment, Pidge was tempted to tell them. There wouldn't be anything wrong with that, but she also knew that even if she asked them not to help, they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from trying anyway.

Pidge shook her head. “Not this time. This is something I have to figure out on my own.”

Hunk looked as though he wanted to pry a little more, but Lance derailed whatever he was thinking about with a question.

“So who wants to know what today's team meeting is about?”

Pidge and Hunk turned to him, near identical expressions of surprise on their faces.

“How do you know what it's about?” Pidge demanded. “I've been trying to get Shiro to drop a hint since breakfast yesterday!”

“Ah, see, that's where you went wrong. I get all of my information from Allura,” Lance told them, as if he was divulging something top secret.

Hunk pouted. “And you didn't tell me first?”

“Sorry, babe. It isn't exactly what I'd call 'pillow talk' and it's easier to tell you both together,” Lance said with a shrug. “Anyway, it sounds like the plan is for us to start working together with the Blade of Marmora, so Shiro and Kolivan have spent the past week figuring out a training schedule. That's what he's going to tell us about tonight.”

“Wait, are we training together together or just splitting times to use the training deck between both of us? Because I'm not sure how well our styles are going to go together...” Hunk said, already worrying.

“Dunno. Allura would tell me that bit. I tried, but all I got from her after that was that I'd have to wait and see,” Lance said.

Pidge's thoughts were already straying. Working with the Blade of Marmora was bound to be an interesting experience and she was looking forward to seeing the different fighting styles each member preferred, but her mind was still stuck on her gift-giving problem.

Maybe it was time to make a list of all the things he'd mentioned liking or showed an interest in. It might give her some idea – a direction, at the very least. She was tempted to build him something, but that would take time and a part of her wanted to be the first one to give a gift, just to show she was willing to follow his traditions. Her willingness to make their marriage work.

“...lost Pidge again.”

“Huh?” she looked questioningly at her friends, who were watching her with a mixture of amusement and worry.

“Are you sure everything's alright?” Hunk asked. “And don't say you were 'just thinking', because that wasn't your thinking face, it was your 'I'm fretting about something and don't want to bring it up' face.”

“Do I really make different faces like that?” Pidge asked, talking more to Lance for confirmation than Hunk.

Lance nodded. “A little. I think your eyebrows get a little more scrunched up when you're worrying.”

Pidge sighed. “I'm fine. Really. You guys don't need to be concerned about me and you're definitely not allowed to snoop through my diary again, Hunk.”

He at least had the decency to look bashful at being called out like that. It'd been three years since he last did that and he'd always felt a little guilty about it, though he couldn't bring himself to completely regret it. After all, his snooping did lead to them finding the Blue Lion, thus starting their adventure into space.

“Are you sure there's nothing we can help with?” Lance tried one last time.

Pidge shook her head.

And that was the end of it.

It had taken several long days of very serious discussion with Kolivan, but in the end there was only one choice that made sense: the Paladins of Voltron and the Blade of Marmora would combine forces to protect the Alliance and the people of the Universe. Which then led to an even longer talk to work out a training schedule for both groups, and the frustrating task of tracking down Coran to get him to make key cards for the Blade members stationed in the Castle.

At last, they'd gotten it all settled. They would hold their first session in the morning. All Shiro wanted to do was crawl into bed and sleep his stress away, but first he had to sit the team down for a talk.

Getting them in one place was the easy part. Hunk's cooking had everyone gathered in the kitchen on most nights, so making sure Pidge wasn't hiding out in her hangar and getting Lance away from the video games was an easy task.

Shiro cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. “I have something important to talk to you all about.”

“If this is about us training with the Blade of Marmora, we already know. Lance told us,” Pidge piped up.

“Pidge!” Lance whined, wilting in his seat as Allura turned a scowl in his direction. He squirmed uncomfortably. “Well, it's not like you used your 'you must keep this a secret, Lance' voice!” he said, mimicking her accent.

“I do not sound like that!” Allura exclaimed, sounding affronted. “Do I, Shiro?”

“Uh?” Shiro shrugged, unsure of what the right answer was. He didn't want to lie to her. That wouldn't be right. But he got the feeling that outright agreeing with Lance wasn't in his best interest either. “We've decided that our first exercise will be tomorrow morning. Kolivan and I have planned something we believe will work for both teams. This is going to be new for all of us, so I need you all to take this seriously.”

The mood quickly sobered as everyone gave their agreement. There was always a playful element to their own training that went hand-in-hand with how comfortable they were after working together for so long. The reminder to take it seriously wasn't unfounded.

“Make sure you get a good night's sleep. Preferably in your own bed, Pidge,” Shiro said, not unkindly.

Pidge sulked a little at being singled out. It wasn't like he fell asleep in her hangar on purpose!

Hunk lifted a hand into the air, a habit he still hadn't broken from their days at the Garrison. “So, uh, why the change? What's going on that means we need to work together? Is it just because of the attack or...?”

“It came around because of that. But it's mostly a precaution,” Shiro explained. “Our objectives aren't dissimilar, though we have very different ways of achieving them. The Blade are able to work in secret, while we...”

“Burst into the scene, guns blazing?” Lance offered.

Shiro nodded. “Working together will be beneficial for both sides. Especially in light of the news we've received about trouble brewing in the Outer Reaches.”

“So Rolo was right,” Pidge said quietly.

“His intel checks out. It's not the first I've heard of it and Kolivan has been keeping tabs on it for years. Nothing has happened yet, but we want to be prepared just in case,” Shiro said.

“It's the Napamku Quadrant, isn't it? Lotor's territory,” Allura said, her expression troubled. “Father's tried to put them at ease for years. Ever since we set up a small station in the area, but it's always been a touchy subject. Daibazaal was a little more aggressive in their pursuit of resources there in the past, which is why they're so wary. It's an uneasy truce. Most of the people there don't want us there, but it's not worth starting a war over. Or it hasn't been.”

“Something must have changed recently,” Shiro said.

Lance frowned. “If it's such an issue, why don't we leave them alone?”

Allura smiled sadly. “I'm afraid it's not that easy, Lance. Altea has two colonies in the area and we have open trade with several planets in that quadrant. The orbiting station we have is there to provide communication and it monitors Altean influence in the area. Daibazaal has the same.” She sighed, looking glum to be speaking about it at all. “It's an uneasy peace, but a necessary one. I only wish we knew for certain what has changed.”

“Hopefully Kolivan will know more soon,” Shiro said. “In the meantime, we prepare.”

The four Paladins walked down to the training room together the next morning after a quick breakfast. Allura had gone ahead of them to meet with Kolivan and assure him that they would be there just as soon as they finished putting on their armor.

In no time at all, they were assembled on the training deck, waiting to hear their instructions for the day.

Allura cleared her throat as she stepped forward. “Kolivan and I have decided that a demonstration of your skills is the first place to begin. From there, we will determine who will work together the best as we progress and what areas we need to strengthen.”

“Does this mean I get to take the sniper box?” Lance asked eagerly, already summoning his bayard to his hand.

Allura nodded. “For now. I'd like Hunk to join you as well.”

Hunk looked nervous by the request. “Are you sure about that? Should I stay here on the ground? I'm just not sure that-”

“Hunk,” Allura interrupted. “We've run this a few times and it works well.”

His shoulders slumped in defeat.

Pidge playfully pushed him and offered up a grin. “You'll do fine. But just so you know, if you shoot me, I'll have to officially disband Team Punk.”

“Ha,” Hunk laughed weakly. He looked a little less uneasy as he and Lance set off, so Pidge counted that as a win.

Kolivan wrapped up his instructions to his four chosen members of the Blade, all of whom wore masks to hide their identities, and they split off to different areas, with one of them taking the second sniper box. (Pidge was pretty sure it was Regris, since she hadn't seen anyone else with a tail like that.)

“Safety on! Training drill level two to eight!” Allura called out as she and Kolivan took up a position against the wall, where they would be able to easily observe.

There was a hum as the safety features kicked on It was a handy thing that enabled a thin barrier to cover each individual in the room, protecting them from serious harm. Any attack that hit them would produce an uncomfortable shock, enough to distract, but it was better than needing healing after every training session.

Two robots rose from the floor and flying orbs dropped from the ceiling. Pidge had enough time to call her transformed bayard to her hand before everything began to move.

The orbs circled around them, honing in on their positions before firing. Pidge and Shiro activated their shields as the members of the Blade of Marmora began to move, dodging away from the tiny blue lasers as if they'd been doing it all their lives. Another pair of robots rose from the floor as Shiro clashed with the one nearest to him. The tallest of the masked Galra (Pidge was almost certain it was Ulaz) parried with the other, constantly moving around it in search of weakness.

From his position over the deck, Lance was sniping the orbs with pinpoint accuracy, keeping track of each of them. The Galra opposite of them was doing the same with his blaster, but Hunk was hanging back, waiting for a better opportunity to use his machine gun.

Pidge slid under the third robot's staff, raising her shield in time to deflect it from smashing into her nose. She turned the moment she was behind it, not hesitating for a second as she shot her glowing blade into the weak point on its neck. She gave it a shock for good measure, waiting in satisfaction as it crumpled to the floor.

There was no time to revel in her small victory. The orbs picked her as a prime target, swarming her as she got to her feet. She trusted Lance to take care of them as she started towards the shortest masked Galra. There was another set of robots rising up to join the fray, and they were heading straight for him.

It wasn't until Pidge was next to him that she realized he was only a few inches taller than she was – definitely less than the standard foot-and-a-half that all of the others had on her.

'Keith?' she wondered.

She couldn't dwell on it for longer than that. She knocked away one strike with her shield, wincing at the way her left arm twinged at the action, and then jammed her weapon into the crook of its elbow, paralyzing one of its arms in revenge. The Galra swung as she moved away, taking off the robot's head in one clean slice.

The two stuck together as the fight progressed, moving as a fluid unit, always just where they needed to be. Any communication was brief and concise.

And then a mass of orbs poured from the walls. Pidge yanked her partner to the ground, holding her shield up over her head and activating its second form just before lasers rained down around them. A bubble covered them down to the floor, protecting them from harm.

On the other side of the room, Shiro was using his larger bubble shield to cover himself and the other two Galra.

It was Hunk's moment to shine! The sound of his machine gun filled the air as the bullets cut through the orbs and caused a chain explosion. Lance took the opportunity to take out the remaining robot with a bullet to the head, and then there was nothing.

Allura beamed as she called the drill to an end and while Pidge was still having trouble getting a good read on Kolivan, he didn't look displeased so she assumed they had done well.

She grinned as she looked up at the Galra next to her. She tugged off her helmet, well aware of the way her hair plastered itself to her forehead. “We make a pretty good team, huh?”

“I think you're right,” he said with a chuckle. He reached up and pushed his hood head, releasing his mask at the same time.

Pidge's jaw nearly dropped when she found herself staring up at Keithir and not Keith like she'd thought. Some of her surprise must have shown, because his fluffy ears twisted back with uncertainty.

“Sorry,” she quickly apologized. “I just wasn't expecting – I mean, I know you mentioned training with the Blade of Marmora, but I guess I never put two and two together?”

Keithir opened his mouth to say something, but Kolivan picked that moment to call hem all to attention.

“A break for water and rest,” he explained. “And then we go again with a new drill.”

Pidge could hear Hunk's groan even with her ordinary human ears.

“For the record, I still think we make a good team,” Pidge said as she walked over to stand next to him.

It had taken her a while to track him down after their lengthy training session, but at last she'd found him hiding out up in one of the towers that overlooked the gardens. Thace, who'd been one of the others in on their session, stood guard just outside of the door.

Keithir's ears twitched in her direction. “They crushed us in the third round,” he mumbled.

“Okay, so that wasn't our shining moment,” Pidge admitted. “But we did manage to knock Shiro down, so that's an accomplishment. Hunk, Lance, and I have wanted to do that for years, we just have such different fighting styles that it hasn't been possible. I couldn't have done it without you.”

“Your shield's handy. I've never come that close to disarming Thace,” Keithir said.

Pidge couldn't help but preen at the compliment. “The smaller one was built into our armor when we got it, but Hunk and I worked together on the bubble and our disc shields. We've been trying to figure out a projectile version, but that's on the back burner for now.”

Keithir turned to face her, looking impressed. “You were able to modify Altean tech without losing the integrity of the shield?”

“That was the tricky part,” Pidge said. She began to delve into the process they'd undertaken – all of their failures and malfunctions, the surprise effects as they experimented – all of it, but stopped herself before she got too carried away. “Sorry. I know this isn't really that interesting.”

“I might not understand everything that you're talking about, but that doesn't make it uninteresting,” Keithir told her.

Pidge hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether he was saying that just to be nice or not. She wanted to believe that he was sincere. “Okay... so where was I?”

“Something about disco shields?”

“Right, so I go to test the next one and I hear Hunk laughing uncontrollably from his section of the lab...”

Allura stepped into Pidge's hangar and immediately crinkled her nose when she spotted Pidge bowed over her work table, still dressed in her armor from training, though pieces of it had been removed for better flexibility.

“You came down here without showering first, again,” she said accusingly.

Pidge jumped at the sudden noise, turning her head so fast she nearly gave herself whiplash. She groaned in pain as the muscles in her neck protested the sudden movement after being still for so long.

“What's so important that it couldn't wait?” Allura asked as she walked over to join the youngest Paladin. She tilted her head when she saw what it was. “Shield tech?”

Pidge made a move as if to hide her work, but gave up part way. “It's a gift for Keithir. I've been trying to replicate some of what Hunk and I did for ours, but I can't seem to get it right. And if I ask Hunk for help, he'll want to know what it's for and then I'll have to explain the whole Galra courtship thing to him and then he'll accidentally – or on purpose, I'm never really sure – he'll let it slip to Lance what's going on and I just can't handle that right now!”

Allura dragged over a chair and sat down. “I know I'm not as good at this as Hunk, but can I help? I don't think this would be breaking any rules.”

Pidge's shoulders relaxed as she considered that. “Okay, so my biggest issue is the color.”

Whatever Allura was expecting, that clearly wasn't it. “The... color? What's wrong with the color?”

“Nothing's wrong with it, exactly. It's just... it's a very Altean color. It's bright. And the Blade of Marmora uniforms are black and they stick more to stealthy things, so something not as bright would be better? Hunk and I got one to turn white on accident, so I wanted to replicate that and then go from there,” Pidge explained.

“That was when you were amplifying the energy to support a larger shield, right?” Allura asked, just to double check she was on the right path. “You turned up the intensity, so instead of appearing blue, it burned white. Was it hot to the touch?”

Pidge nodded. “We shut it off because it was so bright. My skin turned pink where I got too close.”

Allura hummed and pulled the device closer to her, easily cracking open the outer shell to reveal the power source inside – a small, pulsating blue crystal. “The problem is the crystal being used to power it. Because the technology is designed to manipulate and amplify the energy of the crystal, it's going to be blue no matter what you do. We usually don't use the purple ones because they give off a higher frequency and tend to be unstable, but maybe you'll find a way around it.” She replace the cover and stood. “I will get you a few to experiment with on one condition.”

“I go shower?” Pidge guessed.

“See, I always knew you were the smartest of the paladins,” Allura joked.

Pidge laughed as she got up as well. She gathered up her pieces of armor and then she and Allura left the hangar.

Your interpretation of lance and keith is interesting, but the reason I don't really buy it is that the factual evidence your are basing it upon is not that reliable (it's obvious for the maze one, the others are more ambiguous). I mean it in a totally non-offensive way, but maybe instead of focusing on the characters and their actions as if they were real people, it would be interesting to take a step back, and rather think about the choices made by the writers and animators of the series? 1/

Of course as I said this is just a pov, I really enjoy reading your scene and character analyses! But if you consider the creators, well, maybe in that first scene Keith didn't punch Lance because, 1st what would he have done about Shiro, & 2nd, because it would have taken more screentime to resolve the situation?(+maybe other reasons?)This applies to other situations as well, such as in s2e1, with the fire(it bring meaning to the scene?) or their body language on the poster(a q° of balance?)2/2

Well Keith could have kicked him I guess, his legs are totally free, told him to step back.. lot’s of stuff really. The point was that it’s kinda out of character for Keith to trust these 3 so fast considering he knows nothing about either of them.

And yeah, you can say the writers just needed to get them all together real fast and didn’t care how out of character they made this, but I’d like to think they know what they are doing and that there are reasons behinds stuff. Not behind everything ofcourse, but most things.

Like, a way better introduction would be having Keith’s “Leeroy Jenkinsplan” fail somehow, and Lance, Hunk and Pidge coming to his rescue and in that way showing him they are trustworthy and on his side. And then it wouldn’t seem so odd he lets them come with him. That dun have to take any more screen time, just make one of em knock a doctor on the head while they got a hold on Keith or somethin... Because like think about it, they really didn’t do anything but being in the way and putting Keith and Shiro in risk during that escape. And yeah, I’d like a better explanation than “Destiny”, cause Keith should have been “good bye suckers” once he’d gotten Shiro on that hovercraft, by all logic. He really didn’t need 3 people to carry Shiro.. Should have left all that non essential weight exactly where he found it.

And the fire was obviously there because they wanted to create an intimate atmosphere, like it’s a touching meaningful moment and it just wouldn’t look the same if it happened in the lion’s cockpit. I am well aware of this. I think I also mentioned that in my post. But it’s still fun to fill in the gaps they leave for us. Like this is where you get your canon compliant fan fics and arts.. (And Keith and Shiro have alot of those “ofscreen potentially really meaningful scenes”..)

And you do say the fire brings meaning to a scene.. But I guess you just disagree about the meaning I suggested? (is this about shipping?)

I dunno, I look at everything from a writers point of view first, and I feel like I usually know what stuff are like “cartoon logic” with nothing behind it (usually, because all those years of being a homestuck are making me overthink absolutely everything haha), you don’t see me complaining and making theories about how it doesn’t makes sense Aliens speak english, and how Kerberos doesn’t look like that, and how Slav is full of BS because that is not how parallel realities work (actually maybe I will rant about this one sometime, this and Kaltenecker, cuz ALIENS DUN JUST TAKE COWS, THEY DO CATTLE MUTILATIONS DAMMIT) or maybe even about how Shiro doesn’t recognize Pidge right away even when seeing a picture of her and Matt... There’s LOTS of stuff that dun make sense that I dun dig into too much..

I’d still point these stuff out, because I just can’t help but notice patterns, details and inconsistencies. And sometimes they will have something behind them, and sometimes not.

And if the writers didn’t put much thought into a certain something, fans will usually do the work for them, and come up with amazing creative stories and explain it in their own ways. Like that’s one of the fun parts about fandom.

(like lets say the “lion slippers”, they were obviously there to sell a product or as a joke I dunno, but you can like make so many stories about why all the paladins get slippers and bathing suits and other items in their color I guess, like maybe one of the original paladins was like a really sweet person and made like welcome packages for everyone or something... Hand sewed the slippers for everyone as a gift.. and then no one wore them.. Maybe even it was Zarkon’s idea or doing... Maybe that's why he had a fight with Alfor.. Or maybe Alfor made them and Zarkon just refused to wear them and that’s why they had a fight. lot’s of fun stories you can come up with)

And unless you’re like actually one of the Voltron writers on anon just going "But we had to make Keith out of character!!! You don’t know what we are going through and how stingy dreamworks are with the budget!!!” then I will really have to disagree with the “but maybe instead of focusing on the characters and their actions as if they were real people, it would be interesting to take a step back, and rather think about the choices made by the writers and animators of the series?”

Because If you’re a good writer, you will think about these characters as real people, you will think about what they feel, what they think, why they do the things they do, and you will write accordingly, considering all the production limitations. Because that’s what makes characters feel real. And I think the Voltron team did an amazing job with that! I really wouldn't be spending time analyzing scenes and relationships if Voltron didn’t prove to me there’s hidden depths to things(not to everything, but to most things) and the characters are really really well developed and thought through. (and fans do it with shows that have like zero depth behind anything all the time even, cuz it’s fun and people want depth.)

Like it’s so nicely done even the silly stuff kinda you know, dun seem out of character...

Like lets say with that random fire, it really wouldn’t be odd if Keith like suggested “Well, if we make a fire maybe they’ll see it and find us” and Shiro just shrugged and said “worth's a try”. Because they already did something just as stupid with the pyramid when trying to form Voltron.

Like these character are silly and do silly random stuff like real people do, and are aware of the absurdity of the situations they are in..

And I’m not sure what you mean exactly about the body language..

Actually, you’re being very vague and not making any concrete points on what exactly you’re not agreeing with me about, but if you really wanna argue with me about somethin then you’re welcome to like reblog that post with all your points and receipts.

I don’t get offended when people disagree with me, and I’m glad if someone points out something I missed or forgot. (as long as it’s not one of those my headcanon is better than your headcanon arguments, cuz I dun have alot of patience for that, headcanons and canon theories are two different things, so these kind of arguments are pointless)

And like no one has to agree with my interpretations (sometimes i dun even agree with them haha) but like if you don’t and you wanna debate or argue then bring it on! I love arguing! But you really gotta be less vague than that..

#replies #it does take me a long time to reply to stuff people say tho #i dun usually check my notifications and i dun have much time #but i usually have ALOT more to say about a subject than i do #Anonymous
