#and it literally did nothing for me lol

[thrumbolt]

Sometimes I forget why exactly I disliked ACOMAF as much as I did and then I see a random quote and am instantly reminded.

This is exactly the type of gaslighting that this book does that annoyed me so. fucking. badly.

'All he'd wanted to do wasn't free me, but fuck me' - ah yes, because it totally wasn't her who went for his pants first.

'He hadn't tried to kill her, hadn't crawled for me'

Excuse me? He crawled as he was bleeding out from a chest wound, still tied up. Not to mention he DID kill Amarantha in the end. (Also he couldn't kill her before, because that's how magic bonds work - none of the high lords could lift a finger against her. There was literally nothing he was able to do).

Also it makes no SENSE for Feyre to be resentful of Tamlin not rescuing her all of a sudden? Tamlin saved her already by returning her to the human realm. SHE returned to fight and die for him. She KNEW she'd most likely die but she was there to rescue HIM. It's not like she got kidnapped by Amarantha and he just watched, no she came to die for him. It's kind of weird to blame him for not getting her out when she came in to get HIM out.

So yeah, ACOMAF is awful in this regard and I just don't get it. It would have been quite easy and possible to make Feyre realize that Tamlin isn't right for her without literally making shit up about him that conflicts with book one.

#just a random thrum rant again #also lol the double standard #'I was doing those trials and tamlin did nothing to protect me i hate it' #'As soon as he got his powers back he tried to protect me with everything so I would never have to face such dangers again i hate it' #MAKE UP UR MIND FEYRE #but like ugh....i think its literally just that way to make Feyre seem less of a bitch for switching boyfriends so quickly #i am just surprised most people dont seem to mind this manipulative writing? #or however you want to call it #gha #acotar #tamlin

An interesting little fun thing with team 7 is that you assume that Sakura's gonna, like, woobify and simplify Sasuke by putting him on a pedastal,cause her goal is centered around him and shes a 12 y/o fangirl so like of course her understanding of him is skewed cause she doesnt see him as a person, just an object of affection, right? She's can't get Sasuke, can't imprint on and/or traumabond with him like Naruto and Kakashi do. They don't see him with rose tinted glasses, because they've lived through their own Horrors and empathize with Sasuke's experience.

......right?

WRONG lmao!! They have too many ghosts!! Naruto's single-minded codependent ass won't get out of his own way long enough to see Sasuke for who he actually is, only able to empathize with the parts of his trauma Naruto relates to and not really capable of understanding him outside of the context of himself (because Sasuke is. His other half). And Kakashi is far too jaded to be fair to him!! He can't decide if Sasuke is gonna end up as a mini-him or a mini-Obito or maybe a mini-Itachi, but either way he ALSO is too traumatized to see Sasuke AS SASUKE.

meanehile SAKURA'S autistic ass may have dogshit empathy, but you know what she does have? A special interest in sasuke. Nothing better to do then give herself a degree in Uchihaisms. She can write character studies about him. she can read his soul. Whenever she says something about him she is right. Every fucking time! She is RIGHT!!!!

'sasuke would NOT compliment me this directly or explicitly express worry unprompted, especially if it gets in the way of his goals' correct.

'Sasuke shouldn't hide that curse on his neck its not healthy BUT if I tell anyone about it he'll never trust me again, which might be even more dangerous for him then the curse mark. Like he can probably handle the curse mark but no one else can stop him from ripping peoples arms off.' correct.

Speaking of! 'Sasuke would not hurt me even when he seems to be...possessed? whatever the only way to knock him out of it is to present myself as Alive and thus something to be protected rather then something to be avenged, because he gets really stuck in his own head about revenge' CORRECT

'hey so um. like. Sasuke's gonna leave Konoha. I'm not sure anything can stop him at this point and honestly I'm kinda starting to doubt anything should, so the only thing I could possibly do to help him at this point is ALSO defect.' CORRECT!!!!

#shout out to @Obihoe cause this started as a tag comment on one of your posts that got WAY too out of hand. just like old times lol #team 7 #haruno sakura #sakura haruno #sasuke uchiha #team crackhead #naruto #naruto uzumaki #sasusaku #doesn't have to be but like. Yeah #for the record no disrespect to my boys Naruto n Kakashi I love them dearly. but like. they got their issues. that's half the fun of team 7 #And Sakura has her problems with Sasuke too!! But her problems have nothing to do with understand him or his motivations or his personhood #and more to do with. Well. her absolute dogshit empathy. Emotionally disregulated ass. #'if you leave me I'll feel just like you did when your parents died' My beloved. Iconic. Great line. No notes. She's really just still so #inexperienced and naive that means she can explain and predict and KNOW him and his actions but still not empathize. She can say shit #like that with a straight face because she's never FELT loss like this before (except that minute she thought he was dead on the bridge) #so she can't imagine a worse pain. Just assumes it can't GET worse because she has no emotional concept of 'worse'. so it must be the same #she's literally the only person with a chance of convincing Sasuke to take her with him to Orochimaru because he's SASUKE of course she #knows all the right pressure points and keywords and concerns and stuff that she needs to convince him. #she's literally playing a little diolouge tree game with him. And maybe even winning up until that line! it's the dealbreaker

I think one of my “favorite” things is when people misinterpret what it means to be aroace. Watching people so clearly not understand the complexity behind the spectrum of aromatic and asexuality and then proceed to say they “stand with” aroace as an ally is so hilarious to me. Especially when they use this to start bashing on a perfectly fine ship, especially because said ship gets in the way of theirs.

Aroace does not mean no attraction. The plastered poster face for it is people who don’t feel ANY types of attraction, but that does not mean everyone. Aromantic people can date and fall in love. Asexual people can fuck. Aroace people can do both.

Yes, aroace rep IS needed. But we still have it via Luffy—just because Luffy kisses someone (hypothetically) doesn’t mean we just yeeted the aroace label off of him. He is STILL aroace. You know who else is aroace? Bon Clay, for one. Zoro as well. Yet I don’t see people screaming that shipping Zoro with someone completely erases the aroace label, now do I?

Ugh, I’d totally make a whole ass essay about this, but it’s half till midnight. It’s just. Been on my mind for a few hours and I need to say a little shit

#iykyk #zolu #I got so worked up reading that one post lol #as someone who used to not ship zolu because Luffy felt aroace to me I found it hilarious #while also quite insulting #says someone started bashing on a ship that’s done literally nothing wrong #plus they also started bashing on zonami and said it’s because Zoro’s canonically gay #like ??? no??? he isn’t??? #“never explicitly said but heavily implied” is ridiculous really #Zoro is Zoro. he is a fictional character who is up to interpretation until the original creator states otherwise #also the “straightwashing Sanji” comment had me dead I’m sorry #like did we WATCH the same anime/live action? #sanji’s been straight from the start. if anything opla made him less straight with all those soft looks he was giving Luffy #like dudes bi at most #but truly Zoro is so aroace to me #that dude has nothing on his mind but being the best swordsman #booze #and making sure his captain doesn’t die like #seriously. people need to understand that aroace is much more complex than they think it is #oh and yes #we definitely need more non-dating aroace rep

introducing the shipname blue hydrangeas for me and my f/o…!!! a little rambling about the decision under cut as well and well. in the tags

with the different vivid colors of hydrangeas, each come with their own special meaning in flower language as well!!! i think it’s very important to keep in mind when researching about such language is that they can be different between cultures/not all cultures have the same meaning for a flower (it’s super duper interesting to me that going through victorian era(?) flower language books have hydrangeas in general noted as ‘boastful’ with how little seeds it gave compared to how much flowers it has… and not only that but men sent it to women who rejected them to imply their frigidity, which. is so mean actually.).

blue hydrangeas i believe they’re not seemed as the happiest kind of flower with being given as an apology (stemming from the japanese myth) but i mostly see the flower for its meaning of deep gratitude and understanding which absoluutely applies to s/i (or. well. me but i’m too embarrassed to use the word ‘us’ uuumm) and f/o…!!! sincerity i think is a meaning the flower heavily carries as well and being true to someone like that and having that kind of connection really is what the highlight of their relationship is with what both have been through and stand for. f/o is not extremely trusting, and being laid bare open to someone like that is very unheard of to them until they have s/i in their life and slowly develop a sort of closeness towards him. s/i is somewhat similar to f/o but different in a way that their honesty is quite warped when it comes to people (i’ve mentioned him being a sunshine type of character but there are layers to that, in the way that he finds his truer and more negative emotions irrelevant and keeps the sunshine mask on as he grew more used to it & finds it much easier basically) so the type of relationship for the both of them where they can genuinely be themselves with their guards down is something really special

in a way both are extremely grateful for each other as well for walking into their life and wouldn’t have it any other way

#yeah i was. going to go on more but um LOL #‘a little rambling’ he said. a Little he said. Bro that is Not little #AND IM SORRYFOR THAT. LOL. a little too long i think it’s just my sleepy thoughts #if anyone ever did read the whole thing though i appreciate you with my whole heart. thank you #super hard to articulate my thoughts a lot sometimes #also arent i so smart for the drawing. literally nothing can give away who the hell my f/o is. im literally so smart and they should kiss m #Moving on. actually deciding what the shipname was going to be was super hard though #because i thought of ‘the prince and his partner’ at first but prince is just a petname f/o uses on s/i so… #❥ blue hydrangeas #❥ vels ramblings #self shipping #self ship #my art #self ship art #extra thing but if i got any info wrong you’re free to let me know i didn’t go too much in detail as well abt flower meaning so

it’s amazing how men can just ruin everything

#literally just by existing #like at what point do i say that’s enough #like how many times do you have to repeat that what’s happening is nothing do with them and yet they’re still like #but what did i do #lol nothing i’m going through something i don’t have to share every detail with you #i don’t understand it #how do they make everything about themselves #please i just want one good one #please #one that will just go okay ur upset and i did nothing and you want your space cool #not try and start a fucking argument and follow you around like a lost puppy #fuck offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff #like i’ve lost all motivation now #he’s just taken it #and just as i was about to start and open up my laptop #he wants to come to bed #after spending the few hours i had downstairs with my laptop trying to cause an argument and distracting me #and if i go okay i’m gonna go back down then so i can do want i wanna do #it’ll be omg why do u never wanna spend time with me #WE LIVE TOGETHER #WE ARE TOGETHER 24/7 #all the timeeeeeee #but it’s fine when he wants to waste all his days on fucking warcraft #fuck offffff

Been thinking about historical beauty standards lately and the fact that being rounder and heavier was, in fact, considered fashionable for a very long time, and then the fact that people will always interject with the “it’s because weight meant you were wealthy and able to afford food and leisure,” which, sure, is true to some extent, but it’s not like… the only reason that was desirable? Like, is it that hard to believe that people genuinely found that beautiful? That both men and women would rogue their cheeks to make them look more lively and full? That men would tailor their waistcoats to give the illusion of a potbelly because it was the fashionable silhouette? That to be soft and plump was considered lovely and attractive? Honestly, I feel people’s insistence on the whole “weight meant you were wealthy” thing can quickly become a kind of backhanded fatphobia, this assertion that being fat meant something else desirable, and thus became the Desirable Thing. People have had fat and been fat all throughout history and been found beautiful for it, period.

#i've been doing a lot of thinking today lol #idk it's just very. frustrating to me that everyone is so set on believing that and that alone #because it feels so non-genuine despite the fact that there are so many genuine portrayals of plumpness and fatness being desirable #for so long #this insistence that our bodies have to fit the fashion of the times is a relatively new invention #shapewear existed for a reason and honestly i find it to be almost like. the opposite of the reason modern people tend to say it did #it was a way of staying in fashion that didn't involve literally attempting to alter your body to achieve the unachievable #there's nothing inherently wrong with having fashions and trends until they start becoming actively harmful to people #idk i might not be the most qualified person to talk about this if someone else has thoughts i'd be happy to hear #but it's something i only realized today #history #fatphobia #body positivity #historical fashion #historyposting #this is your captain speaking

barry being obsessed with going all YourFaveIsProblematic on 'great men' as a way to justify himself because if they could do bad things and still be regarded as great then so can he. he’s “doing” the “work” of “bettering himself” and berating sally for being drunk because it “sets a bad example” and hiding guns behind live laugh love decor. He’s literally putting on a wholesomecore front lol, he’s play acting as a ted lasso type and using lib therapy language which is indistinguishable from when he’s using evangelical language which is all utterly meaningless and he uses it as a violence. Ha ha ha

#he’s so fucking evil lol #meanwhile his child is experiencing Room #barry #barry spoilers #it’s endlessly funny to me that he managed to trick half the audience into actually thinking any of his efforts to be a better person were #real or meaningful in any capacity. it doesnt work. world’s a black hole sorry like what did we expect #it’s so fucking patriarchy bro like it’s so fucking fathers #he’s a sitcom dad! #and the great men thing is so. Yeah. YEAH. This society does valorize violent men lmfao #it’s almost like this world was built on violence and as much as we like to pretend we abhor it it’s baked into the structures of our lives #it’s a systemic problem you cant just change. There will always be an angry man in your house #of course he can still be the hero! literally nothing in the world has ever proven otherwise!!!

Lmao. For someone w/ such crippling perfectionism, Bakugo absolutely hates it when you’re mean about something you made. He’ll fight and fight and fight you over it until you at the very least admit you did your best and it’s okay for him to like it in your place. 

And it’s a little hard to believe him. He can’t fake a smile for shit nor lighten his voice much less... express things with any couth. YET it’s honestly very sweet the way he pouts, crosses his arms and refuses to change his stance about something very clearly... wrong. Something he very honestly wouldn’t like if he made it himself. 

Snatching the lopsided crocheted hat right out of your hands, putting it on his head, and refusing to give it back. Eating a slice and a half of deflated soufflé then having leftovers the next day. Keeping the shitty (joke) birthday card you made him before you were even dating at the bottom of his bedside table dresser until the moths start to eat it (and even then).

#bakugo #lmaoooo i gave my roommate my good broccoli asdkjfasdj rip #she was like 'we dont have any vegetables!' and i was like. 'yeah we do. mine.' and then i was like gammit. #now id feel bad if i didnt offer her any #why she is cooking at 11 pm... who knows #anyway .. actually im not gonna describe this further it's too specific in my mind #but the fact he sees literally nothing wrong with .. idk whatever it is you've done... it's genuine #and he doesnt ever want u to feel the way he did #just be like 'deku made this.' and he'd admit it tho #LOL #lmao this is why me and him can't br*ed bc our children would be nervous perfectionist WRECKS #caitie post #gen

hi what has been going on in mcytblr ?? that post you rb'd about a poll runner being disrespectful and ppl leaving?? im confused

i dont wanna go into too much detail because frankly i am quite over it, but i'll give a short overview. um, basically there was a cat of the year poll. jellie made it to the finals. there was the usual annoyance of people in the notes making slightly mean comments about her due to it saying "mcyt" and them having no critical thinking. overall though the notes were pretty normal for a post that size imo.

however. the problem really came up when someone revealed that on their personal blog, the op of the cat poll had made a post complaining about how jellie was winning. it was just...kind of a very mean-spirited post that showed zero compassion towards her death and was just a generally cruel way to speak about a dead beloved pet. someone screenshot the post and added it to the poll to inform people of how op was talking behind the scenes and then suddenly everybody was reblogging that version. even non-mcyt fans in the notes were like "wtf i voted for the other option but now i want to vote for jellie instead because that was a messed up thing to say." op apologized and said it was meant as a joke for their 12 followers. people were like "that's not a real apology, you're just saying you're sorry we saw it and not sorry you said it" and continued to dogpile. op apologized again later in a much better way but it was overlooked. honestly, they probably addressed it multiple times, but i stopped following it after a while. op unfortunately continued to receive harassment and death threats from mcyt fans regardless.

i think a big part of the problem was that the screenshot version kept circulated, so you just got. literally hundreds of people who were ONLY seeing the version with OP's post on it and not seeing the apologies. so you end up with a post with like 25k notes where every other tag is someone pissed off and calling op a terrible person. and then there's non-mcyt fans who rightfully think we're being exceptionally annoying about this and they're adding to it. and all in all it becomes a great tangled mess where nobody is having fun and everybody is being mean to each other and the problem just keeps propagating instead of being left alone

#just what scar would want from his fans right??? (massive eyeroll) #also i guess i did go in detail LOL #quara asks #discourse #like the backlash and response from mcytblr was just. completely disproportionate and outstripped the original offense #it also makes me sad because it just worsens our reputation all over again and puts SUCH a bad look on scar and jellie #who did...literally nothing #except have their fans act horrible
