#is it even anti when its true?

[frozentales]

The next time someone argues that Viserys wasn't abusive to Alicent because in those times... or whatever bs excuse that's thrown around. Y'all better keep the same energy for everything else including misogyny as well. By y'alls screwed logic, it was normal in those times for men to look down upon women and treat them like trash. It being institutionalised in a society doesn't magically erase the trauma these women experience ffs. How hard is it to undertsand?

This double standards from the fandom whenever someone dares to talk about Alicent's abusive life is quite honestly sickening. Y'all really saw this child bride being pimped by her father, peeling off her cuticles with anxiety and even freaking dissociating in ep 4 and decided that she somehow asked for this life or worse deserved it.

No one is asking you to like/love Alicent as a character, but to deny that she was ever a victim is certainly a choice...

FREE ELAIN!!

I will never shut up about this

"Elain in black was ridiculous. Yes, she was beautiful, but the color of her long-sleeved, modest gown leeched the brightness from her face. It wore her, rather than the other way around. And he knew the cruelty of the Hewn City troubled her. But she hadn't hesitated to come. When Feyre had offered to let her remain home, Elain had squared her shoulders and declared that she was a part of this court - and would do whatever was needed. So Elain let her golden-brown hair down tonight, and pinned it back with twin combs of pearl. He'd never once in the two years he'd known her found Elain to be plain, but wearing black, no matter how much she claimed to be part of this court ... it sucked the life from her."

"Elain would love this place. So many flowers, all in bloom, so much green - the light, vibrant green of new grass - so many birds singing and such warm, buttery sunshine. Nesta felt like a storm cloud standing amid it all. But Elain ... The Spring Court had been made for someone like her. Too bad her sister refused to see her. Nesta would have told Elain to visit this place."

Argue with canon, bitches 'cause Elain is off to Spring💐

#imagine all their face when they saw her in a black dress lmao #elain you're a stunner but black honey? #mmmmm its a no from us all #even Keir was probably cringing lol #sarah really put in a whole ass paragraph just to rant about how badly elain fits in the night court #she made it really obvious with that one #eluciens are the true Elain supporters #argue with the wall and the books #pro elain archeron #pro elain #elain archeron #elucien #pro elucien #anti e/riel #acotar

#went to a houseparty this evening and one of my pals started talking about being pro palestine but in a genocide the jews way #and its just made me really sad because what happened to just valuing human lives #what happened to being pro not genociding people at all #why have i got to listen to friends say they think my bfs family should be killed just bc they fall on the wrong side of the tiktok argumwnt #like im not pro killing anyone on either side i think its a really complicated issue #just sucks to have friends look you in the eye and tell you ur family should be murdered when at the end of the day #everyone that isnt the israeli government specifically is just a person looking for a home in a world that doesnt believe they deserve one #and thats true of Israelis and Palestinians respectively bc theres people on both sides of that argument #since when did saying i dont think murdering the jews is the answer become wrong? why cant i be anti israels government #and anti palestinian genocide #and anti jewish genocide #maybe im just a fucking hippie but i just dont believe in any genocide sorry???

[elftwink]

just saw a mildly irritating post that talked about seeing takes about how sdv is actually bourgeoisie or whatever (am not reblogging because the rest of the post was honestly kind of unrelated and i want to talk about this sdv claim w/o derailing the rest of it) as if that take popped out of the void when i know for a fact that that take specifically is a response to the much more common "stardew valley is actually a leftist anti-capitalist utopia" type takes, a thing that is even less true about stardew valley than claiming it's bourgeoisie

like. the double standard of making completely detached from reality statements about how left-wing the ideals of stardew are, and then claiming people making the opposite take are armchair activists like... you don't think claiming that you play sdv because it fits totally with your leftist values (rather than that you play it because it's cute and fun or any other thing you are probably actually choosing to play it based on) is a form of armchair activism? isnt it more weird to need everything in your life to perfectly align to your politics, not in the sense that you select your pastimes based on those politics, but that you select them based on non-political criteria & then insist to everyone that Actually This Is Based On My Politics even when we can all plainly see that it's not???

stardew valley is a little farming sim. whether you like to play it or not says nothing about your irl politics. but literally just by looking at what you do in the game, which is produce things so you can sell them to make more things, you guys cannot seriously be claiming THIS is your anti-capitalist utopia and get weirdly mad and project this sense of armchair activism onto people who point out that it just literally isn't. sdv is a lot of things, but anti-capitalist is so totally not one. and i have no interest in explaining the intricacies of how the sdv farmer could be capitalist when they throw joja out of town, because frankly i have seen other posts about that and i have yet to see anyone involved in arguing for #sdvleftistutopia demonstrate any understanding of like. well like even the most basic understanding of class dynamics or that the word bourgeoisie has a specific meaning that is distinct from 'rich person' or 'ceo of corporation'.

also everyone takes it wayyyy personal like saying that sdv isn't anti-capitalist somehow translates to saying anyone who plays sdv and is anti-capitalist is actually a FAKE LEFTIST BETRAYING THEIR VALUES which is just not what anyone is saying ever and acting like they are kills the conversation dead. the conversation that YOU STARTED by claiming sdv was leftist or whatever

inb4 anyone gets on my ass about letting people do what they want, i LOVE stardew valley. i have played more than 1000 hours of stardew valley. if pointing out that sdv is capitalist makes you shit your pants then actually i kind of think you are a fake fan. what was all this about the spreadsheets to maximize efficiency. just like think for even 20 seconds about what you do in the game and how it may actually clash with your irl politics and hope for the world and ultimately imo that will make you a much better leftist than insisting that everything you do is actually already leftist simply because it makes you feel nice and cozy. niceness and coziness are not correlated in any way with 'correct' politics and the sooner you internalize that without viewing it as an attack on the things in your life that are nice and cozy the less we will have to have stupid conversations like this

also last thought it's totally your prerogative to turn off your brain and not think about politics while gaming but if that's your position then don't get on tumblr dot com to claim these things are leftist (how would you know, your brain was off) and also when people kept their brains on (regardless of what their conclusion was about the internal politics of sdv, or for that matter any media) and are trying to talk about it to each other, don't annoyedly get on your high horse about how actually you shouldn't have to turn your brain on. you don't have to. stop talking to me about it if you won't though.

#good idea generator #might be a limited time post this is the stupidest hill to die on ever #but im not dying yet. im standing on this hill for sure rn but if someone comes to kill me for it i'll just leave #im just. we're not going to pretend that a swath of people are calling sdv problematic. i cant do that #when i KNOW what happened is a bunch of people specifically tried to claim it was anti-capitalist. when it just isnt #and then when other people were like no its not. oh NOW we can talk about how silly it is to read politics into a farming sim!! #'video game politics are so serious when i think they align with my values but when i dont everyone who is talking about them is silly #and how come they arent talking about Real Problems? why wasn't i talking about real problems you say uhm uhhhh well' #and nobody is even calling sdv problematic a bunch of people are claiming OTHER people are calling it problematic!!! #(also also to address the real problems point. i firmly believe you can care about multiple things at once #and because of that. some of those things will be less important than others. and you will still care about them #i think this is true for all people which is why no one ever says Real Problems #like that unless they are losing an internet debate. usually one that they started. whataboutism central)

going to invent a time machine just so i can go back in time and stop the op of that post thats like "sonic is canonically trans now because he has a girl clone thanks ken penders" from ever posting that. the damage that post has done is insane i still to this day see people repeating it as fact and it's so painful

#to be clear. the problem isnt people saying sonic is trans. i think sonic is trans too #the problem is that post was FULL of misinformation . which wouldnt be that big of an issue if it only got a few notes #but it blew up and got reposted everywhere and now thousands of people think what was said in that post is true when its not #both sonic fans who just dont research things before accepting them as true And people who know nothing about sonic #and didnt even know surge existed before seeing that post believed it and still spread the misinfo... #surge the tenrec is not a clone of sonic. she was not born from his dna or anything. her being a girl does not prove sonic is trans #also ken penders didnt design scourge he created anti sonic who would later become scourge thanks to other artists and writers #so surge's existence is Not thanks to ken penders. she has nothing to do with him #also i hate that that post makes people think of surge as just girl sonic or girl scourge. shes her own person.. #in ops defense i think they posted that before surge's true origins were revealed #but that doesnt make the impact of that post any less frustrating

Indigenous Hawaiians really had a good system going: wake up reaaally early and do most of the days work while it's cool and by the time the sun was up and it got hot the work was done and you're free to surf and socialize. I wish the white people realized they themselves could work smarter and not harder and get time to relax. Instead of calling Hawaiians lazy (and being genocidal about it)

#Ik this happened in most if not all tropical regions that got colonized #they were so pissed that these 'lazy' people got all sorts of fruit and natural bounty 'handed to them' #when those indigenous people were just working before the colonizers woke up and felt no need to kill themselves in midday heat #Which is what's natural for an apex predator: lazing around #Like u see lions in big cuddle puddles during the hottest part of the day. And they have the privilege of laziness by being the top predato #Idk if lions have a specific time they hunt but ik they will hunt at night when people can't observe them #Also Europeans failed to recognize indigenous agriculture and the /purposeful / cultivation of helpful plants (done w/out clearing the land #And even if they were only foraging. Like. If you love the earth and care for it (and not clear it) the earth will love you back idk #Gah! It's just like we coulda eradicated capitalism in its cradle if Euroamericans werent so arrogant and sure their way of life was correc #Like what if they were explorers and not conquistadors and colonizers. And there was a true cultural exchange #Would it have been better if the Europeans never crossed the ocean (even if they weren't there to colonize)? yeah probably #Like while the disease thing wasn't on purpose (initially) Europeans did inadvertently kill a lot of people bc they had no immunity #But I also acknowledge the human desire to explore and see what's out there #But I wish it was like #Europeans: here's some horses and metal tools #Indigenous people: thanks. Here's a way of life more in harmony with nature and an understanding that we're part of the ecosystem #Europeans: oh cool let me bring these ideas back to Europe. Maybe we won't deforest all of England #(I say Europeans but eventually when Canada and America became independent entities they also were responsible for these things) #Capitalism #capitalism is hell #anti capitalism #Colonization #colonialism #colonial violence #Imperialism #conquistador #age of exploration

sorry but im not fatphobic for losing weight while recovering from a literal eating disorder that can rupture my stomach and crush my bones and organs from exessive + rapid weight gain. im not fatphobic for being happier in my smaller body that is nearing its set point while in eating disorder and body dysmorphia recovery. sorry not sorry, and if you think its morally better for me to have a disorder that can kill me and be miserable in it than recover, lose weight as part of that recovery, and finally learn to be happy with my body at its set point, then you are beyond despicable.

god, i hate haes activists.

#vent #anti haes #fatphobia #ed recovery #ednos #reverse anorexia #yes thats what my psych called it #i dont think its an official thing LMAO #idk if im even diagnosed (but the diagnosis is probably BED if i am bc ednos is universally understood to be restrictive) #(and thats the LAST treatment we want for me) #ppl would rather i cry about only having eaten 3600 calories as opposed to 5000 (true story) #as a broke fucking teenager who cant afford the food he would need to come up to that calorie count #and who cant eat too much at home lest they notice #who starved once a week to stall his metabolism and worked his muscles to death to gain weight faster #but was terrified of exercise because it would make him lose fat #haes activists would rather have that than a slimmer boy who is happy with his body #taking care of it by eating what he wants when he wants #working out what he wants when he wants #which is still mostly weightlifting btw bc cardio is torture lol #i wouldnt be surprised if they want a world of obese people #which i do not support #i want people to be in bodies they feel good in #for some its a bigger one #for others its smaller #sorry for the rant lolz im just. fed up.

sry its just like rly incredibly annoying how much ppl will like. IDK. yes ik a lot of autistic and adhd ppl who do love music. and sometimes it is bc of their neurodivergence yk. music can be grounding its familiar its reliable and comfortable. i think its fine to say Autistic/ADHD ppl often find comfort in music. but its stupid as fuck to say Therefore enjoying music makes you autistic/adhd.

#like that cant be the only diagnostic criteria... im not at all anti self dx but i am anti just hearing abt something doing 0 research and #being like yep thats so me. yk. #likeee. i have a LOT of issues on the psych industry trust me. i also think in a lot of cases its dangerous to be diagnosed. and in most #cases self dxing even uninformed self dxing isnt harmful its just like. idk. it can be harmful when you use it to spread misinfo #even unknowingly. IDK.... like. i enjoy eating the same foods over and over bc they are safe and reliable. expecting these foods #and then getting something different than what i was expecting is incredibly upsetting. that is bc of my autism but if that was the ONLY #autistic trait i had i wouldnt say i was autistic i would just say that i find comfort in my foods being reliable and i dislike change. #and i think a lot of ppl just feel this need to put a label on every single thing abt them down to like. the way they walk. #like do i do the classic autistic Walking on the balls of my feet yes its true i do do that. but again i wouldnt say i was autistic just bc #of that... sometimes its just a quirk you have. sometimes you just have things you do and you dont need a label to put on them to explain #that thing... its more just like. if you do have that dx or whatever you can look at that thing and be like oh this might be bc of that dx. #and you can kind of bond over that with other ppl. IDKK its complicated and im rambling #again idt its like super harmful to self dx even uninformed its just like. i wish sometimes people would just be like . chill abt labels #its the same thing with sexualities and gender like. sometimes you dont need a hyperspecific word to describe your entire identity sometime #you can just be a person. yk. like i love being bisexual i love the bisexual label and im proud of being bi. i dont feel the need #to look into the specific ratio of who im attracted to or when im attracted to them or whatever to make a more specific label. IDK THO #idk. basically i just think instead of trying to group everybody into these tiny Ultra specific groups of ppl you relate to i think you #should just be like. Oh everybodys a person even if they dont experience everything the exact way i do. idk whatever

how to explain to people that while we DO need to desperately dismantle AI’s capitalism-driven rise to prominence in many professional areas especially art because of how it will be used to replace artists in exchange for cheap content and on the back of uncredited artists that came before, and how things can be said about supporting the ai platforms that enable this

that simultaneously using Dall-E mini or Bing or whatever once to make a cat at some nebulous point is not like. It is not like. He did not just shoot an artist point blank out in an alleyway 😭

#this was on a post about Hank Green LOL #LIKE WHO THE FUCK KNOWS HIM AS 'the guy who generated a cat picture once' #like thats a COMPLETELY new one to me!!! #but regardless of who #this is like 'bots are a huge problem online...so everyone who made a silly 'a spongebob quote a day' bot must be shamed' #like the former is true...but the latter is not like. a moral offense bc its disconnected from the issue with bots #and if we want to go into the ethics of this #like i have no idea what example theyre even talking about so i have no idea if its even a locally hosted or self-trained ai #in which case training data could be controlled and it wouldn't have an impact on the power consumption issue w common platforms #something could be said about promoting ai art on a platform but. idk when this happened. was it to demonstrate something. etc. #are we talking 'look how tech has progressed lets demonstrate' or 'haha funny cat' or 'ARTISTS ARE OBSOLETE DONT PAY FOR COMMS' shit #the conversation around ai art is complex and has not always looked the same like back when dall-e mini first came out #like EVERYONE was dicking around and making like. JRPG Seinfeld #including people who now have anti ai art icons #and thats because it wasn't a clear threat yet. the conversation was totally different then #if we're writing callouts for everyone who has ever generated an ai picture of a cat we're gonna be here for a while #and we're gonna have to cancel a few people's grandmas too probably #wayneradiotv is on the guillotine for using an ai image generator to Increase Gender #like...idk it's just pointless and is not the way to actually stop issues around AI #but also just impressed someone on tumblr only knows him as 'the guy who ai generated a cat once'' #dullblogging

maybe that's just me being me but i think it's..... interesting, how much criticism/accusations/et al of the OTW recently is coming up so conveniently in that period between donation drive and election, argues so utterly in bad faith, and employs such a strong 'us vs them' rhetoric that is frankly baffling if it is actually coming from people who 1. have a basic understanding of the OTW's flat hierarchies and what that means for the workings of such a big org, and 2. have the orgs best interest and future in mind. none of this is to say that the OTW doesn't have its issues or room to improve, but you'd think that amidst the quick rise of fascism, purity culture, and their calls for censorship, people would take care not to present the bandwagon to those people on a silver platter, and also maybe........ bother 0.3 seconds to provide those annoying little shits called verifiable sources :))

#fandom wank #this isn't on one single thing either i've had SO much of this on my dash this last two weeks even THO my dash is VERY well curated and it' #like. yall. ik this is 'just' tumblr but come on now #sources!! they are a thing!!!! if you make accusations you gotta back it up!! #and frankly i care little when it's about fucking musk whether that one additional shit thing is true. eh. i'm not gonna reblog it either #without checking but whatever #but like.... the otw/ao3 are not made up of multi-million dollar assholes who we have to fight #it's. fellow fans #and yes it has its issues!! absolutely 100% this isn't to say it doesn't #but if i go to a blog and have to scroll three minutes till i find #'maybe this will finally get people to stop throwing money at them' #then. well you know. maybe it doesn't *actually* matter that they claimed not to be an anti #if it quacks like a duck etc etc

My other sister got engaged yesterday (and told me about it immediately thankfully lol) and then today I got invited to some superbowl party by two other friends and my brain is so wrapped up in what the last week has been for me that I read it as "engagement party" and I was like you have got to be kidding me

#these two friends are not dating btw so it would have been extremely left field #but when your most staunchly anti-marriage friend announces theyve been secretly married for months anything feels possible #i also should mention that my sister called to tell me while i was actively with said friend working up the courage to confront them abt it #which def felt like a nudge from the universe #and now because his best friend is married my bf has been bringing up engagement more and more #and we're looking at houses together #and these are all good things but it feels like everything is suddenly changing super fast and idk how to handle it #and im looking up finance stuff and like every advice website says its a bad idea to buy a house as an unmarried couple #but like their reasons for it are basically that it would be expensive to break up which like. even more true if youre married??? #anyway. i need to calm down #nothing bad is happening to me i am not being hunted for sport #i just very suddenly feel like i Am An Adult and everyone around me has changed overnight into one as well #personal

[exhaustedwerewolf]

still relistening to tama as I go about things and god how did I never notice that when sam finds out mark took the serum from owen and confronts him for letting it happen he says “do you think I’d let joan bright’s brother do that”… in general I think tama is really good at showing how the “typical” characters other the atypical ones, often without noticing, but that line in particular gets to me so bad. because yeah, owen has professed so much regret for what he did to mark. and at the beginning of the series it really seems like he’s changing. but he’s still so reticent to let everyone else out of tier five and it really makes you wonder if what he really regrets is what he did to joan bright’s brother.

#wwolf.txt #tama #the #the am archives #the bright sessions #owen green #mark bryant #joan bright #joan Bryant #this isn’t meant to be anti-owen by the way like #I am rotating him in my mind #character commentary not good-or-bad-person commentary #you could also read this as ‘Joan will fucking kill me’ but even that has its implications I think #like Owen’s reaction when he sees Mark in that chair is not ‘woah Mark are you sure this is a good idea or are you trying to hurt yourself’ #it’s ‘your sister is going to kill me’ #which like. fair and true but. you see what I mean.

i feel like every time ive seen a youtuber guy do a ‘girlfriend does my makeup’ video they always have an ‘allergic reaction’ to the makeup afterwards and im not saying the reaction is fake im just saying that i think maybe its an affect of having 10 pounds of paste put on their face and in their eyes for the first time in their lives. they always use foundation and concealer and highlighter and everything you would use for a full face of makeup and obviously thats the point of the video but did anyone really ever start out with doing that much makeup all at once i know nobody came out of the pussy knowing how to contour. im just saying i dont think your five billion makeup products are actually hydrating and promoting skin health i think your body has just adjusted to this foreign sludge being put on your face every single day

#txt #gekkering #this post was brought to you by the id rather die than use foundation gang #‘there are some really lightweight foundations that you dont even notice when theyre on your face❤️’ not true i can feel it and so can #the acne its gonna cause #and even things like eyeliner obviously thats gonna irritate your eyes. and mascara. and eyeshadow. you are touching your eyes so much #no shit its gonna make your eyes red #this isnt like some kind of serious topic it just drives me nuts becauze its like it is not ‘normal’ to put all of this on your face 24/7 #which to be clear im not inherently anti makeup like i am in the sense of covering imperfections or else you die #but i love eyeliner in the way of making fun shapes and fun colours and stuff #but i think concealer is evil in any context i think concealer should be illegal

everyone celebrating india's mission to the moon's south pole i love you and im with you but this is NOT india's first accomplishment in space!! im seeing a lot of people saying that but its not true. some other things we've done:

confirm the presence of water and ice on the moon

was the first asian nation to reach mars orbit, and the first nation IN THE WORLD to reach it in it's maiden attempt

saved thousands of lives from cyclone phailin in 2013 over the four days, resulting in 45 deaths when without them, would have been in the thousands at minimum

launched the first successful flight using the indigenous cryogenic engine

successfully neutralized a satellite in space with an anti-satellite (mission shakti, anyone?)

launched 104 satellites with one (1) rocket

THE VIKAS ENGINE??? HELLO?? NAMBI NARAYANAN??? even if you didnt know him before, surely youve seen the movie rocketry?

not to mention everything we've done in coordination with other nations, and achievements from Indian scientists and astronauts that were then taken by other nations, usually during war. plus, we've always been much more cost efficient than our space-faring peer nations

all to say!! we've always been there, and we've always been strong. our mission now only proves that, and we should scream it loud and proud for any westerner who ignores us again

babies!?!?!

simon ghost riley x reader

"Aw I can't wait to see the two of you with your own little one running around." Your sister gushes as Simon balances her baby on his lap while you play with your nephew.

At her words you and Simon give eachother a side eyes. A smile tugs at the corner of Simon's scarred lips, whilst you puff out an airy laugh.

The whole baby conversation was nothing new, and because you and Simon had been together for so long, people were quick to assume that the both of you would start thinking bout having children of your own.

Your sister didn't help, always cooing and awwing about how Simon was so good with the kids, especially your neice.

A large hand rests on your lower back, "Nah, we have our hands filled with Johnny." Simon sniggers, laughing more when you elbow his side. The baby in his lap looking up at him in surpise at the deep noise that emitted from the usually quiet man.

"But it would be so cute. Imagine having a little one that looks like the both of you-" You sister starts to go on her usual ramble about what your kids could potentially look like, how adorable it would be to see the both of you with kids of your own.

Later that evening, at your shared apartment, Simon chuckles as you walk over to where he's sat on the couch, "Looks a bit like you doesn't he?" Simon drawls.

You turn and the asshole has his large hand wrapped around your ginger cats face, his head turned to you. Despite the cats purring and tailing flicking in content, you scowl and wack Simon over the head. "Don’t hold my baby like that!" You snap, settling beside Simon, who releases your cat. The cat settling in your lap.

And in true ginger cat fashion, the very cat who was once purring in content in Simon's hands, scratched the very man who tried to pet him again.

"Scratches like you." Simon huffs, pulling his hand away.

You just chuckle, eyes locked on the four legged creature that bouncrd into the room, "And Riley doesn't listen, like you..." You chime in amusement, watching the dog.

Simon turns his head to the German Shepherd and scowls once he see the mask hanging from Rikey's mouth. The dog having the audacity to wag its tail.

"Fuck sake, Riley, I said no!" Simon growls getting up from the couch and chasing after the dog that barks and runs away from the man.

You watch in content as your cat purs in content in your lap while Simon chases the dog around the apartment.

From this perspective it seemed like you already have your own little one running around doesn't it?
