Hey, I saw a post from another tumblr user that you are a Zionist and spreading false info about Jewish people being excluded from pride parades and I don't know what a Zionist is (they just said it was nationalist) but I enjoy your blog and wanted to ask you about it directly to understand better whats going on if thats okay? Im not anonymous in case you want to privately answer or tell me youd not want to discuss. 💕
first, i wanna thank you for being respectful about this, and for asking this off anon. this tells me you're asking in good faith, so i'm happy to answer.
i've had to state numerous times on my blog that i'm not a zionist bc people love to slap that label on any jew they disagree with, which is exactly what's happening in this situation. they disagreed with what i said about a lot of jews not feeling comfortable at pride because of the pervasive antisemitism in queer spaces, and several queer events banning the jewish pride flag because it "looked too similar to the israeli flag" and decided that made me a zionist. it happens a lot bc ppl know that that word is very taboo in activist spaces, and labeling you a zionist is a surefire way to get you kicked out of a lot of progressive circles. interestingly (said with a huge dollop of sarcasm) this rarely happens to gentiles.
zionist is also a pretty useless word for determining what someone actually believes, because depending on who you ask their ideologies can range from "i think that jewish people should be able to live in the land that is currently israel and palestine alongside palestinians and other indigenous groups" to "i think that only jews should get to live in that area and we should kick everyone else out." and as you can imagine, there's lots of people like me who agree with the first statement but vehemently disagree with the second. it's become somewhat of a dogwhistle, to the point that alt righters popularized "zio" as a slur, which was then picked up by leftists (because there is also a huge problem with antisemitism in leftist and non palestinian gentile-dominated antizionist spaces.) one of the events i mentioned in the first paragraph deleted a tweet using this slur.
the person you're probably talking about also claimed that i, a genderqueer trans man, am a misogynist, because i said that jewish masculinity is very culturally different from white masculinity and that i find a lot of comfort in it. they cited a bunch of problems with misogyny within the orthodox community, despite the fact i'm not orthodox or even ashkenazi. what it boiled down to is that they disagree with the takes i have on anti transmasculinity, and they needed something else to pin it on.
so in the future, if you see someone accusing a jew of being a zionist, take everything they have to say with a bucket full of salt and do as you did with this ask and go ask the person what they actually believe. sometimes you'll find their beliefs actually don't line up with your morals and you can unfollow, but the vast majority of the time you'll find that they just said something someone didn't like and it was the easiest way to discredit them.
in general, i don't share my opinions about zionism/antizionism on tumblr because that's not what my blog is centered on, and also i oppose the expectation that jews should have to disclose our opinions on zionism in order for gentiles to determine whether or not we are worth listening to. i also have a lot of thoughts abt how the focus on anti-anything makes it easier for activists to weaponize that activism against marginalized people, but that's an entirely different post.
anyway, i hope that answers your question, and i will probably pin this ask somewhere on my blog since i have been asked this a few times now and it seems unavoidable since ppl just won't drop it.

thank u so much for being critical of these past two episodes ive felt crazy about how much i just. didnt like them but im glad to know others feel the same way. i hate hate hate how they basically portrayed simon as "cured" after talking to golbetty because its so. it feels like such a deep diservice to everything they set up. its like these episodes were them yelling at us that "no actually, this is the moral" and simon isnt allowed to grieve or feel guilt or any other emotion and its jyust so. its so. i hated how it just treated everyone. it feels like in trying to tell a story about how betty deserved better they threw her under a bus repeatedly and robbed her of all agency. these last two episodes just felt so preachy and then ended up feeling like they were saying nothing at all... sorry for ranting in your inbox ive just been reading your posts and agree greatly with your criticisms. it just feels like the entire show has no weight at all and theres barely any growth or change. it feels like simon is at the same point he was in obsidian if that makes sense? and it felt like they went oh crap oh right we have to end this and made a big ball of junk. anyways sorry again for rambling im not a hater i liked the show im just supremely dissapointed
I FEEL YOU SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAD. ikeep seeing like, polls asking ppl what their reactions to the finale were and a weird amount of people are saying theyre happy and satisfied. how………
Yeah!!!!!!!!!! God. The show was so good, if you just, pretend the last 2 episodes don’t exist.
they fucked up both simon and betty soooooooo so bad!!!!!!!!!! they have all this setup of simon having some very very deep mental issues and then he’s Pretty Much All Better for Literally No Reason At All. the moral of the story is wow he fucked up bad! the moral of the story is he actually DID need to just move on! from the love of his life from the person whose memory he clung to when he otherwise completely lost his mind and identity from the person who made an unfathomably large sacrifice in order to save him one that hangs over his head constantly!!! He just needed to GET OVER IT!!!!!
And they come in. Act like Betty had no agency. Lik she was not a grown woman making her own decisions on purpose. Like she needed Simon to make the right decisions for her. And they SURE AS HELL DONT FOLLOW THIS UP BY GIVING HER AGENCY. We finally see GOLBetty. And for what? For her to explain to Simon like a child how he fucked up. And then leave. And that’s literally it.
And they spend the episodes just…… spelling everything out as clearly and deliberately as possible in the dialogue! God forbid we utilize subtlety and allow the viewer to figure out important details via any other method than characters explicitly stating what the point is!!!!
God….. yeah……. i loved that show, overall. but what was the point of it, in the end. all of that was for nothing. in what way is simon not pretty much just back where he started. we don’t get to see it.

IM BACK AGAIN!!! (“I need this au too where she wakes up in a hospital bed and is so confused like where is everyone and walks all the way back to school in her gown and scares the absolute crap out of everyone being all depressed and everyone’s like they’ve seen a ghost but readers just worried if they’re all alright and fretting over them adjkhghg”) OK SO I totally agree that losing reader would be the equivalent of Gojo losing Geto. But this time they also include Shoko on their mourning (unlike in the manga which has me sobbing). Maybe something where she just snaps at them abt pushing her away when reader was her best friend too. And they slowly realize what they were doing and then all mourn together. Gojo was going through your things one night cause he desperately needed something to ground him from a nightmare (he sleeps in readers room all the time now) and sucked in a breathe and stilled when he found his favorite hoodie in your closet. He tentatively took it and almost cried because it still smelled like you (he’d given it to you one day when you were cold and you forgot to return it and wore it all the time when he wasn’t there bc you really liked it). Geto wears a bracelet all the time now and only takes it off for a shower. He also constantly plays with it when his thoughts get too much and uses it to ground himself. It’s black and white with moon and star charms that he’d specifically picked out for you when he got it during the star plasma vessel mission at the beach. He was going to give it to you after but never got the chance. Shoko is much quieter and more absentminded now and when she was looking for her old lighter that she gave you (hot pink and she knew you were me er gonna use it but she gave it to you anyway bc she likes sharing the things she likes with ppl she cares abt) she found it in your drawer along with a little old booklet. Her face was peaking out out and when she opened it she found that it was a little album filled with secret pu fires she’s taken of her, Gojo, and Geto. Reader wasn’t in any of them Shoko noticed absentmindedly as she fell to her knees clutching the little booklet to her chest. Uh I meant to talk abt the au where reader lives and wakes up in a hospital bed but the hcs for after she dies started rolling in and I just had to share. You don’t have to write either I just really wanna talk abt your amazing au. Also waters great but you need to eat something bro empty stomachs aren’t fun when you notice them. This got super long my bad!!
- 🍊 anon
oooh 🍊anon i agree with you but i got some twigs to crack here, no hospital and everything is ok here, just me rambling ahahah sorry
i will admit to u that something similar to the hospital thing was written before pt.6 was posted, i just dragged u along cause i wanted someone to talk to, sorry ahahah
in dyf, it is apparent that all 4 of them care and love each other a lot in different ways and i’ve tried to get that message across as much as i can, as they all shine in their own unique manner
however, keep in mind this is also an au where i elevated the relationship between geto and gojo. when this happens, i imagined a form of love so deep that they’d be willing to turn over the sky and earth for each other
in a way, dyf geto and gojo also ‘see’ each other the clearest, you could even say their relationship at first ‘overlooks’ both ieiri and reader as well
it’s honestly through little moments with dyf mc that causes them to slowly draw back this thick, heavy curtain from up upon their shiny podium, moments that include dyf mc directly inserting herself between them and having somewhat of an impact on their moral compass, and how they view ‘average’ sorcerers
so when mc dies, the curtain just kinda drops back down? not to say that gojo and geto don’t care about ieiri now that mc’s gone, they do, but dyf mc was just on a different level
not to mention that shoko is someone who prefers to exclude herself before the situation escalates whilst mc is someone who prefers to jump in with 0 regard for her own safety and wellbeing
all in all, when they mourn, shoko keeps to herself and even hates her own ability at some point. she is the only one capable of using reverse cursed technique on others. what is this talent for, if she couldn’t save someone she held so dearly to her?
suguru doesn’t like to think about the situation. even gaslighting himself to such a horrid point that, he thinks if he turns around, he’ll see you right there, smiling up at him and asking if he wanted to share some tapioca juice with you.
(he’s severely mentally knocked down)
satoru revels in your memory. he constantly thinks of you in his round the clock refreshed state. satoru is busy as it is, picking up the slack now that suguru is mentally out of commission, trying desperately to juggle work and being suguru’s pillar
but… how do i put it? both suguru and satoru now hate their jobs more than ever. taking orders from the higher ups, kill curses, protect non-sorcerers… suguru is more disgusted than anything. satoru wants to go down the path of hope. the path that he wants to make suguru see as ‘the best one’
but he lives. he persists on the ‘good’ path. satoru is there to ground him, to be the anchor that prevents him from drifting. gojo can’t lose him. he just can’t.
so gojo doesn’t grow up with the mindset of ‘i won’t allow anyone to be alone again’ but the mindset of ‘i won’t allow myself to lose anyone again’ so it does turn him fiercely protective over the reminders and keepsakes of you (e.g. shoko, geto etc etc)
ahahah i’m talking too much gbye

latam swiftie here
I'm not on tik tok so idk what's going on there. The math side of the easter eggs has got a bit out of hand and they don'tknow what they're talking about. And I agree with you on "not needing an announcement to make it special". I feel this is kind of similar to when ppl complain about the surprise songs they got. I would have never chosen Labyrinth!! And I got it and loved every second of it!! It's special because it was my surprise song, not the other way around.
I didn't believe we'd get an announcement tonight until her dancers started posting black hearts. But my favourite thing would be for her to just play foolish one.
I'm super grateful for the shows, I got to see the mashup, it was insane and I loved every second of it. I had been waiting for over a decade for this so it meant everything to me. I am not expecting her to do anything other than show up at the announced time and perform (as long as weather and health allows her to).
I waited 3 years between 1989 and rep, im not expecting releases this often. No one was expecting 1989 tv right after speak now (I certainly wasn't expecting it until early next year the soonest). But she did announce it and it did happen. Thats just why it's not that crazy to think of an announcement this soon. It just hurts to see everyone calling us ungrateful. Over 17 years we only got 3 tour dates. And we're so so grateful for it, we tried to show her that with the "we will stay" fan project. I screamed so loud every single lyric I damaged my vocal chords and it took me a week to recover. People are still making edits, friendship bracelets, they're gathering in the parks and doing swiftie meetups, today I gave two fbs away on the subway!!
The reasons why I believe she won't come back are market-related and financial, but the whole T4F fiasco didn't help at all. The local producer (T4F) is responsible, not the stadium (Im saying this bc i saw this confusion a lot, here those are two different companies, I believe in the US it's the same one).
I understand and agree with what you said, I just want you to know we're very grateful for what we got. (and I didn't think you were rude). In all honestly, the feeling I got from everyone in that crowd was excitement and wanting to be a part of something this big. We didn't want to show anything other than support and love. I heard exactly 0 people complain we didn't get an announcement (but I'm not on tik tok so i might be wrong lol)
And no, we're not really a part of this whole thing the same way everyone (the US, Europe and even parts of Asia/Oceania) is. But I'm not gonna complain because at least we got tour dates. There are lots of places who got no tours dates at all (African swifties you're in my heart). I obviously understand she can't please the entire world and that there are financial decisions to be made!! She's a human and a business woman and I understand. But it does mean we get left aside (again! This is a world/capitalism problem where poorer countries get less chances in general and I'm not expecting Taylor to solve this).
Im sorry, this is so long. Im just trying to say that this is a reality (a sad one), that we understand it exceeds her 100%, and are grateful she toured this year. But that in the bigger picture, we're not a part of things like "the rest of you" and I believe thats where this whole rep tv thing is coming from. It doesn't mean we're not super grateful she took a chance on us and visited this year 😊
Thank you for reading and answering. I know you didn't have to. I really hope you enjoy the last show of 2023 :)
hi, please forgive me for a not good response as i’m tired and focusing on my breathing right now.
but thank you again for responding and explaining more about the financial aspect. and i’m so sorry if i ever implied latam swifties were ungrateful, i never meant to or ever thought that as everything i’ve seen has been nothing but overwhelming love and support from latam, and i really really hope she you’re there again because it’s clear the fans love her and i want her to just be able to be with fans and people who love the music. and the fact you guys are still doing friendship bracelet exchanges is insane and i love it!
and i do think she plans on releasing all of the taylor’s versions on the tour and she wanted to hit certain dates, which is why she announced speak now and 1989 so close together. i think we’ll get reputation sometimes early next year (late january or february ((but i think february is more accurate))) and debut a bit closer to the end of the tour.
and i’m not going and sit here and say you’re apart of this tour just as much as any other location is, because again i’m an american so no matter what i’m not going to understand what it’s like in latam. but i really hope it doesn’t feel like you’re apart if this differently than anyone else, this tour is a monumental moment in taylor’s life and career and the fact she’s able to go to so many locations (especially for the first time) is so massive and big in of itself. an album announcement is a special thing but it doesn’t make the tour or anything about the night any less special.
again, im sorry if this isn’t the best response, but i do hope that you have a good night 🫶🏻

While i do agree with u i have some weird feelings about us analyzing real ppl lol idk idk
Is this about Noah being the Tom Holland of ST??
I think if this was about Noah’s identity or something substantial related to him personally, and not just a basic thing that happens in promoting content as an actor, that would be one thing. But this is literally just speculation about a cast-member in relation to what they are/aren’t revealing about the show publicly.
If fans were coming across private footage of Noah, with like friends without his consent, or if fans were like hacking his shit without his consent trying to come up with evidence based on that, yes that would feel invasive. But I don’t see how just talking about how his behavior in terms of publicly promoting the show, out in the open, in relation to other actors doing similar things to promote their projects, is weird?
But to be entirely fair, I know some fans completely separate their experience in the fandom from the actors, where some don’t even follow the cast or pay any sort of attention to their actions in relation to promotion, bc they just feel uncomfy about having any sort of association with them outside of the show? Which is valid to a major extent, especially just knowing how private a lot of actors are and would prefer that their everyday life not be intermixed with their work in a way they aren’t at all wanting fans to do.
I would say that when it comes to Noah specifically and what he posts in regards to the show, that’s just literal public knowledge he is offering up on his own, to the point where he is literally talking to fans directly by acknowledging them, and doing it repeatedly.
I personally would stick to instances of him clearly out in the public eye interacting with fans, knowing he’s doing so and comfortable with it, before I would feel the need to make a point about what it could/couldn’t mean, based on him being an actor with a job which usually requires some instances of keeping your mouth shut, or saying something with the guise that oops I’m not supposed to because it makes people feel like they’re in on a big joke, even though it’s actually quite the opposite.
I’m not gonna sit on here and go into all of Noah’s micro expressions he has or every detail of what he’s doing and what he means at any given point, especially if it literally has nothing to do with the show.
But if dude is on TikTok live spoiling stuff, only to end it with im gonna get in trouble, followed by just repeating over and over again, I’m just gonna respectfully assume that he is a professional and knows what he’s doing, and he wouldn’t put the show and it’s success in jeopardy. If anything I’m giving Noah the benefit of the doubt here to be doing something that is fairly common, bc the alternative would be that he’s careless and doesn’t think the rules apply to him which… I just don’t think is the case here.
If you’re someone who feels uncomfortable making any sort of post about the cast in relation to how they promote the show bc it feels weird to analyze a real persons actions, fair enough!
My main point in bringing it up was to remind ppl that Noah, just like all of the cast, are actors. I think people take EVERYTHING they say about the show as gospel, which is exactly what they want, so I fully respect wanting to just go with that so we don’t make their job harder for them? After all going along with the joke that he spoils things, just like fans did with Tom, is only actually funny to those who willfully believe everything he does is by accident when he goes online and talks about the show. It wouldn’t exactly be good for everyone to know he’s faking bc then it sort of defeats the purpose.
So yes we should try to keep this our little secret and not put him on blast over it.
In the future, we’ll just have to wait and see what he or the others are willing to reveal publicly about what they did/didn’t know while promoting the show over the years, if they’re even willing to share that knowledge. If and until then, all we can do is wait and see.

Hello! Per the define transgender q I thought I'd put my 2 cents out there as a trans person. The way I'd define it for me is that the way I "see" myself to be incongruent with how I was assigned at birth. To me its more transition/dysphoria based, it has nothing to do with how I express myself via clothes or mannerisms and everything to do with how I feel about myself internally. Not to say gender expression isn't important, especially in someone's transition and wanting to be recognized as the gender they are, but if you only think of trans people wanting to transition in order to fit a stereotype of the opposite sex then that just reduces everything they do to a performance or an act. And gender expression is important whether ur trans or cis, gnc or not. 
Idk. Being trans is just part of who I am, same way that I have brown eyes. Im not "escaping" from anything nor am i confused. I think because ppl recognize/come to terms with being trans differently is also why they say being trans is different for everyone. Even if there is a clear cut definition, it's still gonna look different based on how or if someone is able to medically/socially transition and how far in their transition they are, and anti-trans laws will affect that as well. Community, activism, and support are important regardless. At the end of the day I just want to be able to feel safe in knowing that if I got in a major car accident tomorrow where I will need intensive medical care, that the medical team will treat me even though the parts I have don't match what it says I should have on my driver's license. 
Hope that makes sense I've been typing off and on at work but just wanted to put my perspective out there. Peace love and ray toro <3
huh okay, it's really interesting that u say it's more transition/dysphoria based to u bc i feel like most trans ppl ive spoken to abt it (might b a reflection of the kind of trans ppl i was hanging out w) definitely put identity before transition status/intent.
definitely with u on the gender expression part - i think its a rly common problem that someone sets out on a transition bc of dysphoria & bc they want to be viewed as & treated as the opposite gender by society but somewhere along the way they end up leaning way too heavily on stereotypes for that and they do find themselves trapped in a performance and end up ridiculously self-concious abt it all (like all the transguys who worry endlessly about if they're walking right if they're holding their drinks right if they're SLEEPING right, that one guy who found himself googling "do men eat oatmeal" -_-)
also v interested in ur statement that how ppl "recognize/come to terms with being trans" affects how they define the concept in general.. im gonna think on that but im not sure i know what u mean 🤔 i think i have to twist that one round a little fr it to make sense 2 me... id agree that people often have different motivations for transition & trans identity and that would affect how they define the term... i think that's sort of the same thing, it's just that u see being trans as smthn inherent to a person whereas i see it as a choice so we'd use different wording.
n yeah ive been thinking more abt where exactly i think legal lines n definitions need to be drawn i think im gonna make another post abt it but ur right that community, activism, & support are important regardless and i think for the most part CAN function regardless. & i understand ur concerns abt getting medical treatment - ppl always talk about 'trans healthcare' just meaning medical transition but that's mostly a whole separate thing to actual trans healthcare which is in a scary state rn (& getting scarier in some places - didn't one state recently pass a law that medical staff are legally allowed to refuse treatment if someone is lgbt?) (yeah i just checked of course its fucking florida 😑) n im sorry u have to live w that. u deserve proper care & treatment u deserve to live safe in the knowledge that u will receive that proper care & treatment.
thank u so much for weighing in!! its refreshing 2 get a different perspective here. peace & love & ray toro 😁✌️ <3

First of all i never said they were falling off the deep end or made them out to be crazy party animals. I know they partied and a lot of what is on your list is stuff theyve said not filmed or posted so who even knows if its true, theyve been proven to lie and exaggerate before. To keep things short, the stuff they post now looks forced. I agree with everyone that they put on a show now. Before they partied and had actual fun and the stuff they shot and posted was actually extreme and NATURAL. There is nothing wrong with being tame now the annoyance now is that they make it seem like theyre not especially Sam with his constant “im having the best time” even though he only acts like that when he shoots something or he spots the camera on him. Its never a natural reaction is what i mean.Everything is grand and a show.
Its obvious where you stand with the old friend group and i don’t really care because they werent who i followed. What i meant by fake was that that group no matter how much they tried to get fame out of SnC, they couldn’t i mean 3 of the girls work regular jobs. The new friend group YOU may not know enough of them but i know their whole presence consists of posting 24/7, social climbing, and being glued to their phones, they have a rep. They are full blown influencers which as we know live in a fake bubble.People post stuff its normal but snc and kat are constantly seen filming anything and everything and all having their phones out at the same time even if its the smallest thing. Theyre 24/7 tourists even in L.A
Its ok though i didnt think my ask would affect you so much for you to create a list, nor do I understand why you bring up stuff from 2017 constantly when people talk about how they act now ✌🏻
the reason why i wrote out the list in the first place is not only bc of your ask, but bc i've gotten multiple asks before claiming that snc have gotten worse with their partying ways, which clearly as i've shown, isn't the case.
and bringing up their past is needed bc some of yall keep forgetting it and making it seem like they were perfect angels up until recently. so again, that's why i brought it up. and some of the stuff i wrote is from as recent as last year, so it's not that far in the past in the first place. and collectively most of it is on video minus a small handful of the stuff.
but back to your ask: i think in some way they've always put on a show a bit. maybe they think we want to see them having "the time of their lives" every time they go out partying. maybe they would rather look overly enthused while out and about rather than stone cold staring around a crowded club lol
and maybe it's not faked. maybe they just amp it up a bit more when a camera's on them. if they truly are having fun, but smile more when the camera's on them, i don't think it's them being fake. but if you see it that way, then that's fine.
also, like i stated before, i don't really know their newer friend group. personally, i don't really think snc are all that close to them in the first place to even say that's their new "friend group". they barely even hang out with them except for the occasional party. that being said, if that's really what those ppl are known for, snc clearly don't care or don't know. and if what you say is true, eventually snc will get tired of being around them and drop them.
but i still stand by the newer friend group being less fake, or less user-y, than their old one. even if some of the old ones had to get actual jobs, they still have fans bc of snc. or at least a lot of them do. most of their old friends are known more for being snc's friend than anything they've done on their own accord. that's why most of them moved onto knj's group, bc the collabs stopped with snc and they couldn't survive without someone else's fanbase to jump onto.
nonetheless, if snc want to film everything…. why is that an issue? it's not fake to film your surroundings or your experiences. i don't quite see what you're seeing, but that's fine. if i came across harshly in my previous reply, my apologies. not my attention at all :)

long rant about tumblr i wrote below the cut. i just started going on a tangent & it probably doesnt make much sense but my mind just made me feel like i Needed to post it & it was kind of cathartic to write down. just ignore this
u cant enjoy anything ever on tumblr bc it gets popular for a little while & then quickly becomes considered passé or cringe or morally problematic for arbitrary reasons . or if u begin to like something while its getting popular bc u are seeing more of it & have become interested , well actually that just means youre a poser who doesnt actually like it .
this happens with everything from films/shows , books , music , hobbies , certain aesthetics , broad concepts & themes, popular tropes or symbolism in writing , cute animals . this even happens with stuff that ppl dont "enjoy" in the same way theyd enjoy a show or a celebrity & are just like , part of who they are like being trans or nonbinary or neurodivergent or A Woman or anything .
ppl can just be like , openly misogynstic or transphobic or homophobic or ableist & no one will bat an eye bc they will just slap "white" in front of whatever minority theyre talking about , not making fun of anything to do with them being white or actually criticizing white ppl , & theres a good chance whoever saying it is white themselves & many of the ppl agreeing with them too are white . its either just thinly veiled prejudice or the terrible need Tumblr White People have to feel like theyre Seperate from the Bad Whites & that theyre the one of the Good Ones . or maybe its just the classic internet love for being shitty towards other ppl & feeling superior to them because of it
i know im probably just showing how bad my internet experience has been at least before & a sign i shouldnt be on it as much (i am working on this) bc theres probably some ppl on here in the same sort of , Tumblr Communities im in that dont see these problems at all but i have & its just frustrating . expecting the internet to change is dumb especially on tumblr where everyone & their dog thinks theyre some Avant Garde Tortured Visionary (but Not in a Cringe Gay Poet Way) who has so much Cool Ironic Next Level Sex & balks at anything earnest .

(Dont feel like you need to respond, I'm not expecting a reply) I'm not judging you at all because you are a good person and t swift has been vilified for literally everything but you have to recognise that one of the reasons we dislike t swift is cause of her continued silence over Palestine despite the massive influence she has, especially considering she got MILLIONS hyped up just over a profile pic or how Annie Lennox called for a ceasefire but everyone was taking about her new album release. I love that you are extremely vocal for palestine but I'm surprised you're not taking this into account.
hi!! first of all i wanna say that the palestinian g*n*cide is something that i really feel extremely disheartened over. i have friends who have lost their loved ones during this g*n*cide (and so did i) so i feel extremely angry over everything that has been happening. so i totally agree with your point. i haven't talked about that a lot on here (or try to not talk abt tay in general bc i know most of my mutuals dont like her, but sometimes i just get excited n talk about stuff lol) but i have talked about this A LOT on twitter and i can assure u im just as disappointed! i totally understand where you're coming from and i agree 100% i think she should raise her voice with how much influence she has! i only think there's a hypocrisy about this when people say they don't like her for not speaking out yet they continue to be fans of other people who haven't spoken out either. otherwise i agree with you!
my post abt the new taylor hate wasn't about palestine though, i was talking about the ppl who have been hating on her bc of the grammys (which i understand not everyone has to be a fan of her, but saying she's so annoying just bc she was excited and happy, or how annoying she is for singing to everyone's songs etc just feels very weird/misogynistic to me, or shitting on her bc she's making music bc thats? like? her? job?), these past few months in most of the situations people treated her as if she wasn't a human being (the ai sxual harassment, her stalker, etc etc.) and it made me feel icky, and to hear that from her own supposed "fans"!! thats what my post was abt!!

Friends after graduation
Kinda want to vent ab my uni friends
About a year ago, I finally agreed to go to my faculty's halloween party with my friends. This party is fucking big, like it's known in my city by every university student, tickets are super hard to get by, it's in a huge club and everybody dresses up.
Historically, ive hated parties. On one hand bc my alcoholic parents didnt give me the best experiences to handle drunk ppl, and on the other hand bc i had a lot of bad memories of when i used to black out when i was younger. But, this time, it was my last semester. I had only gone to this party on my first semester and ive become sober since, so i thought itd be a nice symbolic gesture to go, plus my friends really seemed to want me to.
Anyways, it's the party and im having a painfully normal time. I dont love dancing but i do like to talk to a lot of ppl, and i know a lot of ppl here. So i say hi to everyone i see and at one point i mix my main friend group and another couple of friends i know. I have to go to the bathroom, so i tell both groups and leave for a moment. When i come back, oh surpirse, literally not a soul on the dancefloor, not even a stranger.
Ofc, i start to panic. I don't remember if id ever told my friends, but another reason why i hate clubbing is bc, when i used to blackout, i usually did it with strangers. Strangers who obviously didnt care ab me, and basically left me to die everytime i got too drunk. This was kind of a trigger for me.
My phone was at 3%, and i've been left to die. Again. This time by my closest friends.
So i use my phone frantically to ask through the groupchat where everyone left to. Fortunately, it's inside the club. But, again, this club is huge.
They dont respond until after 15 minutes. They tell me where they are. I run. Theyre not there.
This goes on for literally an hour and a half. I couldnt go back home bc i didnt have my phone to ask for a taxi, and my friends didnt go looking after me even tho i was the only one who wasnt with the group.
By chance i find them and i start angry crying and scolding my friends as to why they left me alone. I told them that they knew how parties made me feel and they still cared more about themselves than me. One of them said "Sorry for leaving you, we just thought youd be perfectly fine on your own".
Now that i've been graduated from uni for ab six months, ive been feeling extra lonely bc im having a harder time socializing.
It's true what they say: once we´re all "adults", suddenly no one has time to hang out. It's not like we all have jobs, the majority including me's all unemployed and looking.
But i still see them posting pictures with eachother. They invite all eachother but me. They all support eachother in their crises but me.
Okay, about hanging out, maybe i havent been the most present friend. Im that type of person who loves you deeply regardless of how much we text or hang. But about treating eachothers crises, im always physically there. I send a little message, or i try to pay a visit.
This is not a victim competition, but some of my friends literally just break down for anything. And we're all still there reassuring them that we'll carry them.
For me, it's not the same. It seems like they feel the same way about leaving me alone at the club as they do for everything regarding me.
Even though I spent two months in bed and tried telling the people around me that i was going through a tough time and needed some support, no one came to ask me how i was doing. Like, why even try to bother when i got it perfectly all on my own.
I cant do it on my own. I need people. What do i have to do to be more lovable? What does their connection have that i cant fulfill?

sometimes i feel like it’s better if i list out/announce all my diagnoses publicly or at least on my escape account (or “alt account”) like other people.
people often state explicitly that “this account is a vent account” or something like that in their bio. people also list out all of their diagnostic history in detail, like mdd at __y/o. for example, some people will have the term 「病み垢」 (directly translated to “illness account”, which means the account is solely for sharing their illnesses (mostly mental illnesses, like talking about their depressive thoughts and anxiety attacks etc) in their bio/name, and also names of different disorders they have as well as their symptoms or difficulties they have (eg unstable emotions, not attending school). apparently some also include their trauma briefly, according what i saw just now
i dont really understand the rationale behind all that tho. i get the “this is for venting” part cuz you might wanna warn ppl before they see your posts, but putting everything about yourself in the bio just doesn’t seem right for me. i mean ppl can tell whatever they wanna tell but i personally dont want to talk too much about my diagnosis.
one thing is that i dont want to label myself as those diagnoses. it sounds good at first glance cuz it seems like im talking about not letting the mental illnesses consume you and the whole “dont let your mental illness define you” thing. but nah, im not talking about those things. i simply do not agree with the diagnoses. doctors said that i have this and i have that, and i dont think im ill At All. so putting my diagnoses in bios means that i admit to having these issues. but thats the exact opposite. i am not sick. my “lack of motivation” is just me being lazy. my “mood swings” are just my normal reactions to things happening around me. i believe that theres no illness inside my head.
another thing is that, im not the type of guy who shares all of their informations on the web. i dont need the whole world to know my condition. it’s uncomfortable. and i feel like any adjective i put in a self-introduction page is not accurate enough to describe my personality. i think it’s better for people to know more about me by actually using their time to read my posts, rather than just glimpsing the word “shy” and treat me based on the few words and phrases i put when i got edgy. everyone’s interpretation of the same word is different, too.
there’s a lot more reason behind “not wanting to show my diagnosis” but as i’ve said at the beginning of this post, sometimes i have the urge to tell everyone, every follower (irl/not irls included) what my diagnoses are. people probably will understand me more because even though symptoms vary from one person to another, at least there’s a certain level of criteria for me to be diagnosed, right¿ and when ppl wanna connect to others with the same illness, i can show up in their feed more easily. and to others, be it online friends or whoever, i wont be some random mysterious person on the net.
but eh, after all that b___sh*t i’ve said, im still not gonna do anything lol… literally just typing to kill time.

Hey!! just saw your post about the awkward 'meet the fam' dinner fic, have you written that? if so where can I find it cause that sounds AMAZING. Thanks!!
[long post / wip snippet and because of that the h/c is hurt/no comfort]
i assume you are talking about this post, about an offshoot of my notp series wherein maria doesnt break up with eliot and legit lesbian-centric semi-nonsexual throuples him with her primary yolie, and then sophie makes eliot bring his partners to a family dinner but it goes south very face because eliot, parker, and hardison are soulmates obviously and maria is like... so... the fuck?
the answer is no i haven't written it! (i didn't even have that post saved in a doc yet, but! i just did.) i am partway through a ot3 LR canon adjacent fic (previewed here) and a harry/eliot pwp (i know i know).
but! i have notes about the Revolving POV awk meet the fam dinner. one moment i really thought through is from hardison's pov which would go like:
between courses the group has a little bit of a break because it's hot and to let things digest a bit, so everyone is drinking and mingling outside the order of sitting at the long table. one of these times yolie is loudly laughing with eliot and bre and emily, saying to the couple: im serious! this is a lesbian huddle we got here like pls let me convince you of the beauty of eliots dykeness. and yolie does that thing where you grab someone's chin and shake it a bit. which eliot allows. with. out. a. fuss.
eliot rolls his eyes. shes been on a year long campaign on this. at this point i might have to agree just so she can stop with the powerpoints
yolie is like, eliot listened to her first indigo girls song last week and she even liked it I'm so proud.
and alec is floored. because it's so sweet and funny and clearly its affirming for eliot on some level. but. the gender stuff wasnt something even remotely on his radar for eliot. and even if it was, hardison would have never pushed it like yolie clearly does. which... eliot even told them that yolie can be brash with her jokes and just to ignore her; but... there's something to the ease eliot accepts yolie playing around with his pronouns, and eliot's smile at yolie as she goes on about her Proof, and how apparently maria couldnt stand yolie's first attempt at powerpoint design so she made it all fancy for eliot and...
alec plays so safe with eliot about queer stuff and romance and everything and.... now theres ppl in eliots life that will challenge him in ways alec didnt even anticipate. and he feels so gross that hes upset but hes also so upset.
alec just wants eliot so much and he just let eliot slip through his fingers for eight years. and he can accept that. but what breaks hardison is seeing an eliot that is not his, (potentially) changing in some beautiful and significant way without alec to witness it, and that.... hurts. they're... they're not changing together.
alec was standing next to harry when this went down who is like ohhhhh boy you..... look like you're gonna... hey let's step outside okay????
harry needs to console a wrecked alec who is like, ooooh nooo eliot Doesn't Love Me But Can Love Those Two i guess????? okay?? (information that was faculty when it was picked up and definitely now years out of date in any case.) i... just thought... i was always hoping, yknow. that he would change his mind. he knows i still.. i always will... i just hoped, y'know?
harry hasnt gotten an eliot monologue about how much he loves parker and hardison that night (yet) and Has Learned from holding out for his ex wife. so he tells alec: im so sorry. :( yeah its hard to let go. and harry and alec are trying to get alec to accept that possibility that this truly is it. that this is the night he has to give that hope up. that dream. eliot isnt even with parker any more. he really has moved on. harry is like: give yourself tonight, hardison. let yourself really be in this space. tomorrow... tomorrow is a new day to start. but i wont tell anyone if you hold out for tonight, even if you are being rude to maria and yolanda. just blame jetlag! i do it all the time :')
alec nods because the logic is sound and he accepts a very kind hand on his shoulder pat from harry.

❦ okay so basically everything was on point lol. i'm gonna get personal here just so you know. i'm an actress/dancer however my father (cap rising, virgo sun, sag moon...rip me) believes i need to be more practical so he wants me to pursue college. meanwhile my mother (cap rising, libra sun, cap moon) who is (wanted me to take out where their mother was from - pluto) (she is from an island!)
❦ encourages me to embrace the creative side. she is who i get my artistic talents from. i want to mention that my father was absent majority of my childhood due to his job in the military, as a result i feel like a stranger to him sometimes(daddy issues:)), not to mention he is very overprotective and is quite controlling. my mom on the other hand is my best friend. i don't have many friends since i moved around (because of my dad's job) but managed to make friends easily wherever i went.
❦ also you were correct on the eighth house concept when discussing secrets on my maternal side, my mom has many secrets and all the women on her side have dark sides (idk maybe bc we're latin haha). but there is also money struggles and greed/jealousy on that side. as for my fathers side, they are proper and prim and care a lot of their status and are wealthy. i do agree that i had to grow up quickly because of many things, my parents' relationship plays a big role. to put it simply, they are the couple who should be divorced but won't because they'd be ashamed. they're both very traditional in that sense. in fact they married not bc of love but as my mom said bc "it was the right thing to do".
❦ also i don't mean for this to sound like a therapy session, it's just so many synchronicities between the chart indicators and my life. i find it intriguing how my parents are both cap risings bc they both can't stand each other lol. it's always a fight for dominance. i read an observation once (can't remeber who posted it) but it was so true for me; the way my moms moon sign is my sun sign. wow this got long. mercury in my 5th got me talking about myself for way too long im so sorry lol. oh wait also i am the person every , literally EVERYONE tells secrets to. people always feel safe enough to confide in me and ask advice which i love but very spot on with that aspect. i could literally go on with how much this makes sense but you prob don't care and ik you have other ppl to write for. but i hope u know how much i appreciate you and your gifts!

This nonny sent me a lot of longer and shorter posts with everything about them that might be relevant for their sorting. I think they wanted to make absolutely sure that I have all the information I need to come to the correct conclusion. They were very thorough, and I appreciate their thoughtfulness.
(Also, doesn't this already sound like a certain primary to you? 😉)
But I can't use it all, and so I picked the parts that had the most clues in them and put them into a narrative that makes sense to me. Only nonny will know if it makes sense to them as well, and that's ok. I will also only sort their primary today, because it's late and the post is already long.
Yes i feel that people should care a lot more about the world and know whats going on, they cant be ignorant fools acting as if theres 0.00000 going on, so i help to ensure ppl know by spreading awareness about wtvs going on. Eventually ill try to make the hard choice n sacrifice myself after i try to save the world.
I dislike hypocrites, ignorant assholes who act as if nothings happening, two faced, disloyal, n/or egoistic idiots who think it's okay to go around asserting themselves, looking down on others just because they have all the power which is so fucked up.
I do like spreading awareness about the world because yes everyone deserves to know about stuff. I agree educating peoples hella important. And also, screw authority!
I think if a snake was angry about this, they would also mention which one of their people cares too little about what's going on, or suffered from egoistic idiots, or never had the education they needed, etc. Because without a person we care about involved, we wouldn't care so much. I hear this kind of sentiment mostly from my idealist friends, although it could be a badger caring about educating and protecting a community that's discriminated against by the authorities.
I dont believe that to save a friend ill sacrifice the world. Theres no fucking logic in doing that like bruh?? Killing a lot of people just to save 1 friend? I can save 1 friend while not sacrificing the friend, simple solution. Its foolish and stupid as hell.
Spoken like a true idealist, and one who talks about logic instead of feelings. Another point to bird primary, me thinks.
I joined St Johns Brigade hoping to learn first aid, i perhaps thought that ill get enough first aid skills in order to become a nurse eventually. During those days, i felt that i belonged to the group on my own even i didnt have much friends, and my efforts were being recognised by being given badges + certificates from the courses I attended.
I feel i belong with the shadowhunters cast, n/or perhaps the shadowfam because we all are passionate about shadowhunters no matter where we came from. Yes im passionate about getting justice.
Well i just want to belong somewhere, without having to change myself to fit in, to feel acceptance, recognised, heard, understood for being myself.
You talk a lot about belonging to a group, getting accepted by a group, and how difficult it is for you. We always associate this kind of talk with badgers, but wanting to belong somewhere is also a basic human need. And since you feel like you never really belonged anywhere, it could be badger or a human need that is so urgent because it went unfulfilled for so long.
In my co circular activity days i wanted to quit so that my organisation wont have to suffer w me inside it, they would be better off without me inside.
In the friendship I had w my ex best friend, I felt that i was being the matyr, selfless one, the one who put in all her effort, time n energy just for it all not to be reciporated back, so i felt worthless, like a piece of shit, not appreciated much by him.
I wish there was at least 1 person to accept me as I am, doesn't wish for me to change myself to fit in so I can finally tell the person everything I can.
If it is badger, it's a burned one. Could also be a burned snake longing for a person. Or, you know, basic human needs.
Let's talk about recognition, because that is also something you talk about a lot:
I joined St Johns Brigade hoping to learn first aid, i perhaps thought that ill get enough first aid skills in order to become a nurse eventually. During those days, i felt that i belonged to the group on my own even i didnt have much friends, and my efforts were being recognised by being given badges + certificates from the courses I attended.
I just want to belong somewhere maybe to anyone or a community where i can be recognised heard understood for being myself + not being forced to make them happy whichs so fucking fake + my efforts r like recognised seen + im given genuine praise.
I want to belong somewhere so my efforts are seen n recognised.
And again, wanting to be recognised is a basic human need, even though we associate it with glory hound lion in shc, or with an external primary like badger or bird. If you feel like your voice is not being heard and your efforts go to waste, you'll suffer no matter the primary.
Based on this and on the other information you gave me, I'd put you down as a bird primary who needs to make sure you and everyone else have all the information and education you need to keep up with what's going on, and who desperately wants to belong somewhere and be recognised for who you are by at least one person for your efforts.
Stay tuned for the second(ary) part.

hi so i.found ur blog and its honestly like a breath of fresh air to look at so if its ok i might just fuckin,,vent here.
so. ik a lot of other people have been talking abt how pof was really straining to watch and i am.very late to the party but i need to talk abt it bcz holy fuck. when i first watched it i was in a way better place mwntally, also the general excitement of wow,content kinda overrode the headache and the eye hurty and the just. bad. but i was rewatching it recently because i was basing a fic off it and i just. i couldnt finish it because all of it was just so much and there was no fuckin warning?? so that was pog ig
next thing because i have. a lot of thoughts. ive been in the fandom for not-very-long, i joined in the middle of 2019 or something.and it just kinda sucks because im only still here for the fandom. i love the series but i can only watch dwit and compilations of logan/roman being sad so much before i can basically recite them off the top of my head. but i reallyreally love writing for the fandom!! it makes me so happy to do the writing, its just the fact that im not as invested with the series that makes me feel,,idk man guilty ig?? anyway thats too deep for a rant so im.a move on
god so tw me not liking post aa virgil and me talking abt toxic friends but hoooly fuck man. i just. pre aa virgil was fun because he was snarky and sarcastic and i could actually stand the nagst because his character made sense?? he was the 'bad guy' and he wasnt as woobified back then and he was honestly a solid vibe. but post aa virgil gives off the vibe of that one friend who fuckin, gets angry at you when you bring up any of your mental health issues and then blames their outburst on their mental health issuea and its like?? no i hate that character dynamic. people say bad things when the feel bad, sure, ik i have, but its the vibe of 'im gonna threaten you and then blame it on my mental health but if you so much as look at me wrong while ur having sensory overload or something i will smite you with the force of one thousand suns' and i am just.so tired. also ithink someone else said this but we should just call the series 'virgil sanders and the rest' because thats what it is now ksbdjqkbsq
also (all ofthese are my opinions btw and im not trying to say im rigbt im just tired honestly) the way. in pof the way patton's whole thing is 'you need empathy' is not funky fresh for both people with low empathy and high empathy 😎 bcz ppl with too much/too little empathy are always told theyre 'cold' or that theyre 'oversensitive', the whole 'there is an average amount of empathy and if u dont have that fuck you actually' is icky and bad and gross. i do think patton's character is really well done in the series but that episode jjust personally. ick.
and finally the moment uve not been waiting for bcz this is probably really tiring to read but the moment youve been waiting for-fwsa.just. why. its cute and stuff and i love nico. nico is a vibe. also bathroom man john is great. but shouldnt roman still be on shit terms with thomas?? like lk we're just gonna sweep away the whole 'i thought i wad ur hero' shizz? cool cool, glad to know romans arc still aint happening. also i get it, we needed to cement that virgil is a light side now. but like..did we?? actually bcz this is so long im gonna send in a second ask (im sososorry if this clogs up ur ask box if u tell me to stop i will i just. many thoughts) abt how even though i hate virgil, his arc should have been done. so differently. just gonna put like,, a mushroom emoji here so u can put the 2 asks together if u want 🍄
You’re always free to vent here! Sorry it took so long to respond but life has a cruel habit of getting in the way of things I need to do. 
So for starters, the POF problem should be talked about more so I can assure you that you’re not late to the party. It never really got the amount of attention it deserved so I am more than willing to bring that back up and trust me, you’re not alone. 
And again, you’re not alone in this either! Plenty of people still enjoy creating content for these characters. You don’t have to feel guilty for not finding the actual series interesting because honestly, I’m kinda losing interest too. But I still love these characters and I love that the fandom is still creating stories with them through different mediums.
Honestly I agree with just about everything you said about Virgil and I do eventually plan on tackling a lot of this in a future post. You know, if I ever force myself to just sit down and write the dang thing... 
Oh my gosh I’ve been waiting for someone to talk about this because that whole thing about empathy in POF really ticked me off because you’re absolutely right, not everyone is 100% empathetic, and some people can be empathetic to a point where it hurts themselves. Like I get what they were trying to say but it came across as, well, like you said. “If you’re don’t have this exact level of empathy then eff you I guess you’re a bad person.” Maybe that actually wasn’t their intention but it sure came across that way and maybe I’ll go into it a little more in another post because now that I’ve been reminded of it again I kinda wanna talk about it more. 
Okay yes, FWSA on its own is a good episode. Heck, it’s one of my favorites. It feels closer to a season one episode than ATHD that’s for sure. The problem with this episode isn’t the quality but the fact that it comes right after POF. And I’ve basically gone over this in my “Problem With Asides” post and how it affects both Roman and Virgil’s current arcs so I won’t go into much more detail here but just know that I pretty much agree with all of this. 
Also don’t worry about cluttering up my inbox. It’s here for people to share their thoughts and that’s exactly what you’re doing! Hope to see your part two soon mushroom anon!

Hello um I know why ppl don't like terfs I mean duh TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN but what exactly comes under radical feminism that you disagree with... genuinely curious.
hiii omg thanks for the q. hello.
a few reasons:
firstly its just most radfems are terfs. the radfem-to-terf pipeline is very real:/
radical feminism has some valid ideas about dismantling the need for women to be gender conforming + celebrating gnc women, i guess? i'll give you that
but they seem to view any and all performances of femininity as painful and confining, which is just reductive. this post is a good example of what im talking about. it has a bunch of radfems+terfs agreeing with op (easy blocklist right there) and it makes me want to throw up
radical feminism sees men as the enemy, sees feminism as men vs women when really its people vs sexism/misogyny. we all have to unlearn harmful shit the patriarchy has made us believe--women are not exempt from views like those
it leads to a lot of egregious biphobia toward bi women specifically, especially if they date a guy. self-explanatory. gotta say as a bi girl it hurts to see lesbians hate on us like!! wheres your allyship now ffs!!! bi women are not any less queer than lesbians oh my god
several radfem posts that i had the misfortune to come across see women as the "good gender" and men as the "bad gender" -- and its ridiculous because
a) theres more than two genders
b) it pushes any accountability off these women by framing them as mostly powerless victims, and
c) men are not inherently evil!!! saying that just sets low standards for men, tells women they shouldnt expect anything better. its the "woke" way of saying boys will be boys, i guess.
and i think any feminist woman that has to hear boys will be boys one more time deserves to deck anyone thats stupid enough to say that
remember when i mentioned the radfem-to-terf pipeline? yeah this leads straight to that. seeing men as evil means radfems' view of trans ppl is inherently warped. theres actually people talking about how "trans men betrayed their gender" like. fucks sake. not everything is political lol some people are just men
also since they hate men for being men they use it as an excuse to exclude trans women from their feminism/wlw positivity just bc trans women have/had penises. i dont have to talk abt why that way of seeing it is a lava lake of burned fish. we are sooo past a kettle of fish.
and isnt it funny. classing one's own gender as good, pious, empathetic, emotionally sensitive and another gender as innately bad. isnt it funny how that gives radfems a free pass to be absolutely awful people, and not allow for any self-reflection about their own choices
more often than not they either completely ignore non-binary ppl or see them as woman-lite. genderfluid, bigender ppl etc are also never really respected?? when someone thinks everyone but women is inherently awful im not sure how they'd feel about/treat anyone who isnt cis/doesnt fit into the gender binary
to summarize most of it is inherently gender essentialist bullshit
