Propaganda why Anakin Skywalker is insufferable:

It's less about his character and more about the way ppl talk about him and narrative around him in a lot of current stuff. The way everyone try to bend over backwards to prove how his reasons to turn Darth Vader were somehow noble or good when almost every single bad guy in Star Wars (expect Palpatine and that guy who taught him) have much more sympathetic history and reasons and how he's not a bad person bc he cried a few times while doing atrocities. And how everyone else gets the blame for all his shortcomings ('they did it but never taught him!!!' -he literally parrotos this same lessons to his own student, it's obvious he knows better but chooses to not apply to himself anything that is slightly uncomfortable to him). Like, I love characters being genuinely not good people as much as a next guy but let's not pretend they're good people actually

the guy has zero critical thinking skills, he whines about everything all the time. I love him, but he’s awful to listen to. THIS BITCH. I HATE HIM. NO CRITICAL THINKING. NO SELF AWARENESS. WHINY MURDEROUS ASSHOLE. LIKE SERIOUSLY. He's a JEDI. LIKE. THEY HAVE HISTORY CLASSES!!!! He should have KNOWNNNNNN that when he had prophetic dreams they're not necessarily true!!!!! Also like. In the Star Wars universe, do Jedi just not have imaginations that can create NORMAL dreams when they sleep??? Do Jedi just not usually dream??? If he hadn't gotten paranoid from the dreams of Padme dying in childbirth

BILLIONS OF LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. FOR THAT MATTER, if you're gonna have A SUPER ILLEGAL SUPER SECRET MARRIAGE, wouldn't you, I don't know, USE PROTECTION SO THAT YOUR WIFE WHO IS SECRETLY AND ILLEGALLY MARRIED DOESN'T GET PREGANANANT????? LIKE LOOK I LOVE LUKE AND LEIA MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF BUT THEIR PARENTS WERE SO FUCKING STUPID. ANAKIN SKYWALKER HATES CONDOMS BECAUSE THEY DONT FEEL AS GOOD I DON'T FUCKING KNOW. Man is an IDIOT. How can you have had a role model and father figure like Obi-Wan for most of your fucking life and grow up to do the shitty, STUPID things Anakin did. Ok this is way too long I'm sorry but I love Obi-Wan so much and Anakin ruined his fucking life and hes just such a little DICK. MURDERED A WHOLE VILLAGE OF SAND PEOPLE. AND DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF CHILDRENNNNNNNN. ANGSTY WHINY TEENAGER. FUCK HIMMMMMMM

Yes he was probably directed to act that way but the way his lines were written did not help

Propaganda why Tim Jackson Drake is insufferable:

oh man. i've had enough of this duckboy (as the protag, he's tolerable in yj and stuff.) like when tim is the protag every character in the story becomes Worse. lady shiva gets nerfed. steph is turned into jealous hormonal catfight girl. helena is dumbified and too womanly to function (they have a nice dynamic as long as tim isn't the protag). cassie and tim were great in yj98, but as soon as he is The Protag then she is his best friend's girlfriend and they're barely friends anymore. cass is turned into a rapist. dick is turned into a lazy mediocre robin. jason turns into fucky wucky dumb brute yaoi stalker boyfriend who is suddenly obsessed with tim's awesome skills. 10 y.o. damian somehow deserves to be put on a hitlist because he's a savage and tim is civilized. Sometimes the story is bogged own with tim's internal or external lectures about their flaws and how they need to be better (better like him), except for dick HMMMM wonder why that is. probbly wouldn't be so bothered if tim wasn't crammed into the spotlight of every crossover in the 90s and early 00s and then so much of dc and the fandom wave it around as the peak era of comicbooks. like im sorry. he is not a relatable protag. like the editors literally told newspapers that he was created for gen x white dudes who blow their money on comics and merch, the info is on wikipedia.

White twink rich boy who always has to be smartest bestest boy even when he is a part of a whole group of smartest bestest ppl (aka bat family as a whole, like he's literally THE Mary sue of a group of Mary sues) at expense of literally everyone else

His definitive writer is a conservative Republican. His series is full of moral PSAs, *dumb* *hormonal* girls getting into catfights over him, and blatant sexism and racism. He gives anti-marijuana speeches to a standing ovation, he lectures about how babies need a father and a mother, and sex is for marriage. Other characters suddenly become stupid around him so that he looks smart. The other characters talk about how he is the best, nicest, smartest Robin ever and ALL the others were dumber and meaner than he is, even the one that mentored him. He as a grown adult man is canonically still bitter about ""his"" child sidekick role being given to an actual child (fans pretend he is the victim of this on both sides—nope he's the adult fighting a child for the child sidekick role, no adult wanted to replace him). Did I mention that this character is the amazing pure white boy, and his 10-year-old successor is painted as a savage Arab terrorist who needs to be put in his place? T*m is a 5'9""+ adult grown man, not a delicate sensitive baby boy.

💌 | Forget about sims, lets learn about YOU! Tell us one fact about yourself, and then send this to 5 other Simblrs to do the same 👽

this is less of a fact abt me and more smth i want to rant abt, if uve been following me for a while u might remember i swore off hbo after the final season of the show that shall remain nameless. then succession comes along and i become an early fan bc i was really into billions at the time but billions had become shit so im like ok this looks like it will fill the corporate rich ppl drama hole in my heart

so i allow myself to trust hbo again and get super into succession, i can tell as im watching that the soundtrack is tricking me into thinking its better than it is but im like its ok its still rly good! so then the final season rolls around and i can feel the alarms ringing bc im getting s8 vibes but i ignore them and then what happens. ANOTHER SHITTY UNEARNED FINALE. CLASSIC HBO, except this time the entire world is gaslighting me saying acktsually it was super good. BRO

IF TOM BECOMING THE CEO WAS THE STORY U WANTED TO TELL, THEN EITHER MAKE A MINI SERIES OR MAKE HIM MORE THAN THE PATHETIC COMIC RELIEF. OR MAKE KENDALL A LOT MORE INCOMPETENT INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY HAVING HIM FLOP BY SHEER BAD LUCK. GOD. AND I HATE KENDALL SO THAT SHOULD TELL U SMTH. im not even gonna get into the filler that was the whole election arc etc its been like 2 months and im still so pissed off at this complete waste of time of a series, but the worst thing is when got ended at least everyone was ripping it to shreds, but no, ppl actually liked this one so i cant even find yt vids making fun of it. unbelievable. so ya this is what ive been struggling with so if anyone else hated it pls msg me

#rr #aondaneedles

[dearedwardteach]

"literally the only one in this band who hasn't disappointed me is Namjoon" wait what did the others besides jk do 😭

(also I agree with the whole post. disappointment doesn't even begin to cover it on my end. I can't believe they'd actually go with this elyrics. wtf were they thinking?)

ah there's two things to it: 1) he's the only one who, when he fucks up, shows that he actually reflects on it and try to do better? 2) when it comes to political opinions he and yoongi have done and said stuff that speak to me the most

but then as a general rule i try (and fail a lot lmao) to remember than first and foremost they are billionaires and will always benefit from a system that is actively cruel toward other ppl and the planet so ive struggled a lot with that (especially how hypocritical their campaigns around ecology are. but anyways). as ive said before im trying to be here only for the music, to not buy into that whole parasocial relationship (even if kpop is built in a way to make you do so), and to tell myself that if their music brings me comfort, then that's what matters.

but yeah when the music sucks then there's no reason for me to stan them is it. cause as human beings I don't have any affinity for them, i don't actually know them, and to some extent it's even worse since because the way they live and actively pursue always getting richer, partnering with brands that are awful in every domain (like, you know, the luxe industry or McDonald's) theyre part of a group of people that benefits the most from how fucked up our capitalist system is.

and then when it comes to the other members, i personnaly didn't think the way yoongi handled the whole debacle with what do you think was the right way to do so but theres no use to bring that back for more drama. also still struggle with the way he was supposed to be critical of social inequalities and anti capitalist but then, you know, became super rich and. well. I've answered plenty of asks about it if you go in my ask tag, I won't dwell on it. hobi im actually kind of neutral about because he's so secretive about what he actually think i wouldn't be able to form an opinion on anything he might think or do. hes just a basic billionaire. jin has more than once in lives said stuff that amounts to "just be rich" and it's simply a capitalist, bourgeois mentality i don't agree with politically.

then when it comes to ml: well there was a rumour that jimin said anti abortions stuff but I've never checked it out so let's say It didn't happen (if it did obviously it would add to the list). then there's the obvious participating in angel lmao, that was just. yeah don't even wanna talk about it. then tae there was the way Jennie's harassment was handled (or not handled actually) by him and hybe that was just fucked up. I don't believe idols should be held responsible for their fans actions, on the contrary I think it's a dangerous road to take, but you can and should tell them to stfu when they're threatening ppls lives lmao. also he is close with very conservative, homophobic ppl and well. i mean there's a huge incel problem atm in SK and most young men his age are just. downright shitty ppl. so the fact that.hes friend with that kind of ppl doesn't reflect well on him. and then well jk. 🤷

anyways! this serves as another lesson lesson to not expect anything ever from celebrities!

#anon #ask #answered #should I mention that I dislike jack harlow even more than i did before or does it go without saying lmao

[puthyjuth]

sometimes im angry that people have such radically different views from mine and then i just remember we are all gna d*e anyway and it literally doesn't matter and people will find their own sources of coping and happiness and thats what matters. and even if they don't, that's out of my control because at least i tried

buuuuut at least to you, i want to rant,

it does kinda annoy me and make me want to change someones mind when literally they only really care about money but not like the stability money can provide in a im broke and literally can't afford my basic needs way but the power structure and act of accumulating it and having/winning this fake quantifiable social hierarchy. and they seek to win within their own family, their shitty friends, random ppl they meet, just anyone

the other thing kinda pet peeve i have is when ppl really belittle mental health and looking at it from a bigger perspective than just im sad im happy idk like when they attribute really shitty things that happen to them not as a traumatic thing that affects the way they live and make decisions day to day but they just say oh thats just a generational thing like basically saying these beliefs are out of anyones control

like. im not even hating bc im belittling them, i just feel... so sad for them that. because they think like this they will literally never find what they are looking for or truly heal and its genuinely really sad to me because even if you did "win" there will always be richer ppl than you, ppl with a bigger house a better car there will always be more and you will never be satisfied. and the second one, i also feel sad bc these ppl also leave themselves in shitty situations but they defend themselves and everyone who hurts them, and it sucks bc these ppl are also super kind

like when i talk about how things hurt me and i set boundaries and leave when they are broken, they project and defend themselves so deeply when i wish they could just see im trying to say you should leave too lol

i know this is super specific but yeaaaa idk i feel like it applies to a lot of ppl- ppl who kinda just wanna be rich n ppl pleasers who never stand up for themselves. maybe bc these things deeply affected me once and i realized how hopeless things feel

BUUUUT who knows maybe i am really just someone who doesn't really like it when others have different perspectives than me

[loveamongthesailors]

i was originally gonna look for some kinda physical outdoorsy job for the summer but its looking like im gonna have some decent outlets for training and exercise so im less concerned about finding work to keep me on top ov that...

so once im fully vaxxed im thinking ov going back part-time to the shitty thrift shop i was working at a few years ago just bc any job is gonna be equally shitty for me on terms ov i fucking hate standing on hard floors for 8 hours several days a week on top ov everything else but. all ov the work there is fairly easy for me and i already know how to do it and there are at least a couple nice gays in management who im on good terms with who have stuck around (my sympathies to them lol) so i think id have an ok time getting back in. and its twice as convenient for me to get there now as it was than when i was working there before -_-

so it basically seems like the easiest possible way for me to get myself a bit ov money to stay afloat with and my life usually goes best when i lean into the path ov least resistance.

also have been wanting to do a public facing job after being holed up in the shop for bit, the only homos i interacted with there were either really rich gay dudes or interior designers who were a bit better to talk to on the context that were both workers and can shittalk customers tastes a bit but i do rlly miss interacting w the general thrift shopper milleu and all the cool weird queers who roll thru yknow. and my desire to interact w thee fellow gays aside, its just nice to get to run into a whole bunch ov different types ov ppl throughout the day and maybe have some time to shoot the shit and get into some convos on the clock lol.

(note about going back to that store: its gonna be really funny if my former bigender manager is still around bc when i was there i was being weirdo punk dyke twinsies w my punk fag manlet coworker but that manager had like a very casual glam old punk queen sparkly headscarf and smudgy eyeliner type genderqueer styling going on which is... more or less what my standard look has morphed into over time lol. do love always having an older coworker to be niche aesthetic buddies with)

Bloomberg opinion article on 'lying flat'

‘Lie Flat’ If You Want, But Be Ready to Pay the Price

Upper-middle-class, well-educated young Americans are getting in on the protest movement started in China. But they may not understand what it will cost them.

By Allison Schrager

September 13, 2021, 2:30 AM AKDT

The new “lie flat” social protest movement seems to be catching on. It started among overworked Chinese factory workers burned out from grueling 12-hour, six-day work weeks, and the unrelenting pressure from the government and society to climb the economic ladder. So some Chinese millennials formed an underground movement to opt out of work and the pressures of society.

Never ones to miss a chance to cry “hardship,” upper-middle-class, well-educated young Americans are also getting in on the action, claiming they, too, are burned out and quitting their jobs to do nothing. What this trend will mean for China is unclear, but Americans who choose to lay down in lieu of work may end up worse off than they think.

It’s hard to know exactly how many Americans are lying flat. The labor market is behaving strangely. Quit rates are at their highest level in more than 20 years. Normally that would be welcome news because Americans have been changing jobs less frequently over the years, which was contributing to wage stagnation. Wages often increase when people change jobs. But the high quit rates could signal a less dynamic economy this time. Unemployment is high and many jobs are unfilled.

What’s even stranger are the many reports of burnout from people early in their career. High-power-track jobs like banking and law are scrambling to keep their young workers from quitting. According to a survey from the New York Fed from July, 2.3% of Americans under 45 are planning on leaving the labor force, compared to just 0.9% of Americans over 45. There was a time when ambition was admired; now opting out of a career garners 400,000 likes on Twitter.

Some labor economists speculate that many out-of-work Americans are taking their time to find new, better careers. They’ve been enabled by high unemployment benefits and stimulus payments that left them flush with savings and nowhere to spend it. There are also many anecdotal stories of Americans of all income and skill levels taking time to rethink their relationship to work. Not all are lying flat. Some are taking this time to learn new skills that will launch a better career with higher pay and upward mobility. Those people may come out of this labor market in a better place, but the ones who are opting out altogether suggests a worrying trend.

In some ways it’s surprising to see Americans rising up against the cult of work and disparaging the idea of a career that defines them. True, the pandemic forced people to reassess their lives, and the combination of work and childcare left many exhausted and demoralized. But, unlike Chinese factory workers, people in the developed world have never worked so little. One study estimates that between 1965 and 2003, American men gained an extra six to eight hours of leisure time a week; women gained four to eight. And since 2003, leisure time has increased further.

Americans may feel overwhelmed, perhaps by modern technology or more family obligations, but they’re not actually working harder than previous generations. So why lie flat now? It could be that work is much less pleasant when you don’t get to socialize with colleagues. Or perhaps blurring the line between work and home this past year made work feel inescapable. Some realized hard work is not for them. But that choice is a luxury they may come to regret.

Ok so it hurts to repost shitty articles like this but I have to laugh at the fact that rich people need to dole out articles like this to gaslight the working class. Like "wages and benefits havent been going up for years because you guys havent been changing jobs, so u better not change jonbs >:("

also believing the reason ppl dont want to work is the fault of lack of social lives blamed on the pandemic. im sorry allison have you talked to a non-parasitic human in the last decade?

ik you dont care but it genuinely enrages me that they intrude on you like this. like it makes ME feel uncomfortable. like, if i wanted ppl adjacent to PW to see this i would @ them. but i dont because boundaries. maybe they should respect yours and ours……… but they already proved they have no concept of doing that even in their real lives 💔 just such a bummer i wanna have fun without them lurking on blogs that used to post them because they are suffering the consequences of their actions

i mean i dont know FOR SURE i just suspect it very strongly and a couple people have told me but those ppl could have been lying. ive accepted that if you post something on the internet anyone can see it including guys in cancelled pop punk bands, it is public. im just very confident that its not weird to be a young woman and want to fuck a vintage sex symbol and also morally better than being a LA rich kid so i dont care what anyone thinks of me. so idgaf

if it makes u feel any better i dont think he liked them much, when that one ig post happened everyone at shows and in gcs was so hype like “ooooohhhhh my god” and then legit nothing happened. i dont know what happened and am just guessing obviously but it seems very out of character for that label, there is one other artist on there that isnt panic or travie and if you contrast the amount of effort and marketing that went into them vs nothing nowhere it raised a lot of questions, even before all this happened.

IMO his influence on them was very apparent with the screaming in the demos and the spoken word, but i think they were a minimalist nepotism signing and werent kept on after it was clear they werent willing to tour or record or even commit to being in a band… like at all. i could obviously be wrong this is all just speculation. also they think theyre better than everyone because they dont like emo so. anyway again for all i know they could announce a major deal and be the next BTS tomorrow because im just some hysterical idiot fangirl on the internet but those are the vibes i get. hes like a north shore prince but he actually supposedly was grinding in shitty bands and getting foot and penis gangrene or whatever and touring nonstop as compared to the bands who only tour when it happens to be on break from art school and also convenient with the european sightseeing lol

#he has like a documented history of ghosting talent he gets bored with too lmfao so

i’m really interested in the phenomena of fans of a certain media taking the characters and plot and removing them entirely from the original intent of the piece and instead fabricating their own reality around them. like so many marvel/spn/sherlock whatever fans take these characters as they are and twist them to personify their own idealized version of the character to an extent that its completely removed from the original media. w marvel movies specifically i wonder if people actually enjoy the movies or if they enjoy the fact that there is an extremely rich world built with extremely underdeveloped characters made to fit tropes that they can then personify as they wish. like instead of enjoying the media as its presented they start to worship their own projection of who the character should be which the company then uses to manipulate the audience into staying (gaycoded characters heavily hinted at and joked about while never actually becoming canon im looking at you) and it just allows these companies to keep getting away with their half assed media as people rely more on fan work to gain satisfaction. i think a big reason ppl argue over whether fanfiction is legitimate art or not is bc people caught in these bubbles see these fan creations and enjoy them (often times) more than they enjoy the og work bc a lot of the time they ARE better!! they take the original bones of a piece and create interesting and emotional relationships between these characters and they are good!! but theres also an argument that instead of interacting with the same characters retold in different ways bc of comfort people could just be seeking actual good media instead of giving shitty media these huge platforms and monopolies over their mediums.

#like #this isnt a ‘youre a bad person if u like fandom thing hur dur’ take #its just a ‘large companies are relying on fans to create better work from their own bs to keep other fans interested while maintaining #a monopoly over the industry and not improving’ take #yes this about marvel

the worst thing i fear abt edgar’s character is people thinking hes shittier than he is. like. hes shitty but he also just struggled with having empathy for others and like. understanding that his actions have effects on those around him. which is more of me projecting onto him - tho ofc. his actions are wildly different than i would ever do. but like panda pearl is a story primarily abt assholes becoming better people and seeing the consequences of their actions. why would edgar be any different than nori in that sense...neither are excused for their actions, but its explained at least later on.

i know most ppl dont read my comci and dont know what im going on abtb ut like. as much as i joke “hehe edgar stinky eat the rich” hes genuinely one of my favorite characters in panda pearl. hes loving to emily, his wife, and although he created a rift with him and roy, and later maria too, he does genuinely care for them. he alos cares for allen, who besides pillowchan? is his closest friend. he just is REALLY bad at showing that care

anyway look at this purple man i love him

the post going around abt how ppl who arent poor shouldnt buy from thrift stores is such a bad take........ like there is a surplus of clothes dude.... and even with ppl who donate to thrift stores theres still a ridiculous amount of clothes that get thrown in landfills every year.... and the fashion industry reaks havoc on the environment. buying used clothes is recycling !! and its legit one of the simplest ways to reduce your ecological footprint ! PLUS theres the ethical standpoint, most popular brands use sweatshop labour ! you can buy from more ethical brands, brands that pay their workers a livable wage, brands who work to lessen their ecological footprint, brands who use recycled materials, etc but that shit is expensive ! most basic t shirts i see from ethical brands cost 40-80 $$ and ive seen them cost more than that too ! and this isnt like shitty designer brands selling clothes for hundreds of thousands of dollars just because theyre designer, this is actually how much clothes cost if you pay your workers fairly ! it isnt affordable for most ppl ! so ppl who dont wanna support shitty companies paying their workers slave wages, but dont have the money to buy from more ethical brands, thrift ! and even if you can afford to buy from more ethical brands, the production of those clothes is still negatively impacting the environment more than thrifting does

so like. i buy from thrift stores because i care about the environment and i dont want to support companies that use sweatshop labour. and A Lot of these workers in sweatshops are women and children. these women and children fucking die. the companies dont care about them, they dont have safe working environments, the factories they work in collapse and kill hundreds of ppl, the companies dont pay them livable wages, and the list of monstrosities just goes on and on and on.... so like. this doesnt add up. by buying used clothing im somehow increasing prices in thrift stores, im stealing good clothes that ppl with less money need, this means i hate poor people blah blah blah but. my #1 reason for buying used clothes is cuz i dont wanna support companies that use sweatshop labour !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont wanna buy from brands who exploit and abuse and Kill poor ppl just to make a profit !!!!!!!!!!!!!! its because i dont want to support these companies i want them to fucking die !! even if they start paying their workers fairly now its too late and how can they undo the harm theyve done !!!! the people who have starved and died of sickness and i just. its too late. they cant undo the deaths. even if i CAN afford whatever new clothes, whatever forever 21 or uniqlo topshop or zara etc etc etc im absolutely never gonna buy from those brands.

so i've always bought from thrift stores. i bought used clothing back when that was all my family could afford and i buy used clothing now even though we can afford to buy new clothes. and even if people dont have such good intentions, even if theyre just rich white kids who want used clothes for their Aestetique its still better overall for the earth and the ppl in it

okay so TLDR: i thrift because 1) i care about the environment and 2) i care about people working in sweatshops, most of whom are women and children. and even if ppl dont care abt that shit thrifting is still better for the world. okay

i will probably have to move across the country to be w my gf a year and its rly exhausting to think abt. the cold is rly hard on my joints and ill be staying in fucking cleveland and A: ohio sucks and my parents are going to fight me on this decision bc they hate it and B: the weather there is god awful. i have a metal bar in my leg and it is physically painful to be in the cold and have weather changes and the like

and like i said my parents are gonna fight me on it. if i say we’re planning on moving to arizona after like a year of being there, they will get fussy and angry bc they wont see the point in me moving there and back despite the fact my gfs parents have a lot of money and are perfectly willing to help me move there and then the both of us move back. their solution will probably be sell a car in hopes i can pay some rent in the valley or smth or me getting a job in my home town and i literally despise my home town and would rather live anywhere else but there. im fine with visiting my family and friends and getting food, but i do not want to work a job where i am forced to interact with the people who decided i was the fucking anti-christ in middle/high school. i was afraid to go to my own neighbors funeral over the fact ppl would be there who i knew fucking hated me. and their solutions for jobs are either jobs i cant do due to physical limitations, maybe getting a job i can do but will be too competitive, OR taking classes at the community college part time while working as a full time fucking high school teacher in a building that housed some of the worst years of my fucking life educating children i am in no way mentally or emotionally capable of educating. 

where as there at least my gf’s parents would help support us until i can find a job, our mutual friend may also be allowed to move in and help us w bills and groceries and stuff, and my gfs parents will help us get a good apartment and help me get a job/sign me up for a program where disabled people get coaching and help us search for jobs we can do and gain experience. its not the worst place to spend a year trying to figure out how to fucking adult until we can all move to AZ (bc our mutual friend also wants to go there but ha ha money and also i dont feel comfortable just letting them fucking move here where they have no family and 1 friend who i know for a fact is emotionally and financially not super stable enough to help them)

im just really tired that i have to explain to my parents i would rather move to another place i hate than stay there or make them go into debt trying to get me a place to rent in a big city in hopes i can get a job and get on my own two feet alone when i have a gf w rich parents who literally wanna help me do it and also i would be helping our friend get out of a building that doesnt have fucking proper heating or wifi at all bc its a shitty old building and they cant pay to fucking fix it. 

sorry now im just rambling abt my life even tho i kno i have it WAYYYY better than most ppl. im from a pretty poor home town and not rly well off family. i just know they hate that state and are worried id die in a year and im also bummed i wont be able to see my best friend really/will have to fly down for christmas and stuff but. im tired of doing this long distance thing for 5 years lol i just wanna live together

it's honestly unbelievable how all of the worst gg ships were endgame like. Blair and Dan are horrible ppl but they're a god-tier ship and they just worked so well together and the writers rly broke them up for chair and derena wtf?? and nate was literally the only decent person on the show and him and Serena were meant to be!! and don't even get me started on lily ending up with that piece of shit abusive ex husband of hers like WHOMST THE FUCK thought that that was a good idea?

lmao soz I just have a lot of opinions and I’m super bitter about gossip girl and you are just 100% correct abt everything

big mood!! ask me to talk abt virtually any tv show and you’ll see i put the bi in bitter :/

yeah as a rule i expect nothing from trashy teen dramas the ONLY valid and beautiful one was one tree hill (watch it you will not regret it) but the gg ending was extraordinarily bad. like they didnt do a single thing right lol. imo dair was slightly better than chair (i loved them at first their friendship was so interesting) even though towards the end you could see how they tried to redeem chuck bigtime and ofc the dan reveal made him look like a psychopath but. honestly i accepted chair in the end bc i wont deny he did some good stuff mainly paying her dowry but i couldn’t forget the yrs of abuse either (n the actor who played chuck was. so bad. “i am chuck bass and i love you!!!!” ok and???? dsjkgdsjdsk). 

serena and nate were the only healthy ship the entire show so that was sad. i wanted them to show scott (dan and serenas brother…yikes imagine him returning w vanessa like hey whats up fam only to find out his 2 BIOLOGICAL SIBLINGS ARE MARRIED. TO EACH OTHER 😬😬😬😬 but whatever he was a sweetie and super hot and they should have showed/mentioned him again) and vanessa endgame. im a vanessa stan for LIFE can we talk about how the show did her so dirty and how fucking racist the fans were lol,,, social media is STILL going on about how she was “the #1 worst” like????? EVERY article is like “she’s the WORST bc she slept with all 3 boys” and uh. so did blair. and nate slept with like 20 women. and serena had like 10 bfs. and lily was married lke 7 times. chuck hired prostitutes nearly every single episode so??? yall stan elitist bullies and psychopaths and rapists and she fucked up once (while getting revenge on ppl who fucked her over in the first place) and her “childhood bff” dropped her forever while himself 1. being gossip girl, 2. falling for their bully and 3. being friends with his sister and gf’s attempted rapist like???? vanessa was held to an entirely different standard from the rest of those white demons because she was a woc it was sooo disgusting but in the long run even though it broke her heart and was super unfair she got away from those psychopaths and trump supporters (im sorry in 2018 everything blair says screams republican supremacist and they had some of the trump family on the show being friends with the upper east siders so YIKES). ive never seen such blatant racism like imagine hating vanessa but loving georgina and jack bass in the end like that’s vile… whites have no morals. but i digress. 

i hated lily from the start like the fact that eric wanted to leave the mental institution but she didn’t let him was terrifying. she had a few good moments but she was a shitty mother and serial cheater who falsely accused someone of rape so serena would get into school like??? and rufus deserved 100x better he was the only other good man on the show lol. lily first DROPPING him the moment her rich ex husband (who she cheated on, was leaving AND knew was abusive to his son) returned was uglie as hell and then going off with the man who fathered her evil sister’s child while they were married and kept her drugged and lied to her abt having cancer to be close to her??? like i said teen shows do not give a fuck about their female characters whew

good ideas for society dont work cuz there are people who will take advantage of the goodness in other people’s hearts. thats why i want to live on a small island with people who won’t be shitty and destroy everything through their selfishness. the problem of these concepts isn’t the concept itself but the people who take advantage of it. things would be so much easier if people were just nice and thought about others instead of just themselves. but that can’t work because of how so many people aren’t that way. the reason it goes to shit is because awful people do awful things knowing full well they are awful!!! its not a flaw of the concept its a flaw in the people involved!!! thats why we cant be fucking accepting of every single idea we hear. some go waaay too fucking far and that needs to be shut down or whomp whomp our government formed for peace and freedom is now taken over by shit heads calling for genocide. when ppl give communism shit i just wonder if they think that the problem is the thing itself. cuz most do. people think communism is evil and disgusting. thru like all of high school all i heard about it was “it looks good on paper but not in practice” okay? but why?? why can’t that translation be made? the answer is... SHITTY PEOPLE!!!!!! EVERYTHING WOULD BE BETTER IF THEY DIDN’T BE SHITTY BUT WOAH THERE THEY GO!!!!!!!! stuff goes to shit in history with that kinda thing because the original intentions for equality and fairness is kicked down by someone who can’t fathom being nice to anyone ever and cant stand the idea of being equal to others. people who go grabbing at power like that in a society where there isn’t SUPPOSED to be power are shitty, awful, disgusting people who ruin the entire concept. we should just go back to having villages, man. that’s so much easier to handle. you got big ass societies like this fuck hole and you can’t keep track of fucking anyone unless u r the big bad gobernment owo!!!!

theres too many fuckin people in every given place, dude. look at chicago. and even in such a dense place the contrast in people is so fucking noticeable. like homeless people out in the freezing cold begging for food money a block down from where a big ass fancy apartment building is that is sooo rich that it plays on that “futuristic” “totally clean” aesthetic. man fuck that. fuck that so much. some ppl confuse me so fuckin much with how they can’t fathom equality. how they are scared of it. how they think that the younger generations of today starting to move in that direction shows how “evil” they are. no! fuck off!! that’s the exact opposite of the intentions here!!!! is it so bad to want everyone to have a home and food on the table every night?!?! if u really feel the need to be better than others then cool good for fuckin you yknow how you do that? idk fuckin save up ur money to buy a cool car or something. fuckin whatever. as long as there arent people on the fucking streets and people going without food or healthcare. why is that such a fucking crazy concept to some of yall!!!!! humans are supposed to be kindhearted and look out for each other but so many of us have lost that to this competitive and toxic society we grew up in!!!!!!! just fuckin think about what it would be like to be in someone else’s shoes for a sec! like idk about u but i ask people in similar situations like me what they would do if they suddenly won the lottery and got tons of money and the answer 98% of the time is “help provide for people i care about and make their lives livable.” kind people exist dude!!! we are all fuckin here! rich people take advantage of others, if they acknowledge it  or not!! the system is bent and twisted so they can get to that completely different life style compared to everyone else!!! that shouldnt be a thing! that shouldnt be celebrated!!! even with the “good ones” that donate money, they are still fuckin up there. so it doesn’t maaatter. having differences in wages can be fine if its small differences and even the ppl at the bottom are able to live safely but thats not how it is rn. if those “good” rich ppl care sooo much about people in poverty rn then why are they still rich?? like im not even fucking kidding rn if i won the lottery or some shit i would try to provide a nice home for me and my boyfriend and it would be humble and comfy and enough that we wouldnt have to worry. the rest would go in savings and go to people who need it. the concept of so much excess money is so fucking stupid to me. savings are important but that isn’t savings thats sitting on a resource that people would kill each other for just so you can feel better than others. “look at all this money i have!!! oh? am i going to use it for anything? well. some things. but mostly just  having it so i feel better than everyone else”

augh

its annoying dude

i literally had a convo with my brother yesterday and he said his goal in life is to be able to provide for his family. that is so fucking kind and sweet?? he works two jobs and i dont really see him much cuz he works so much. and that’s his thoughts when he’s working. he has a tendency to blow things out of proportion and have expectations way too high and yet despite that he still has this capacity to be a kind person. hmm. perhaps thats how all people should be??? everyone should have room for kindness in their hearts even with differences in personality??? like why is it so stupid for me to say that!!! “oh niko ur ignoring how the real world is ooohhh ur just making things seem worse by wanting the best” FUCK OFF!!! i want the best for people because i think humanity has a capacity to be kind and help each other!!! yeah i obviously cant do fuckin anything about that with how i am rn cuz i have like $20 in my savings rn but come the fuck on!!! dude! why am i a radical for thinking people deserve things???? why am i suddenly a bad person for saying that i think people should be equal? like of course its not that easy for yall it has to become a long ass conversation about how im shitty because blah blah blah and in history blah blah blah okay but bitch!! you aren’t LISTENING to me!!! humans are creatures with needs!!! if we are a society the goal should be to meet those needs!!! i shouldnt be fucking scared of my government!!! i shouldnt be fucking scared of the system that is supposed to protect me!! and yet i am cuz i feel like im just a number to them!!!! that’s all i fuckin feel like i am!! i try to be a kind person and im not sure why im given so much shit for that!!! everyone deserves food and water and a home!!!!! why is that so weird to say?! im just frustrated how people can think that! im a bad person for wanting people to be better off?? okay???? but... how? because my ideals are similar to an outline that hasnt worked in the past due to BAD PEOPLE taking ADVANTAGE of the kindness that others give? wow! doesn’t really fuckin sound like its MY problem!!! sounds like its the shitty people who are the problem!!!!!!
