#like obviously its Bad either way

[floralovebot]

i've noticed that a lot of winx fanart doesn't whitewash aisha but does whitewash flora and it's like,, you guys know that's still bad right? you guys know flora isn't just a quirked up tanned white girl right? you guys know that discussions of whitewashing aren't exclusively in regard to black characters right? you guys know it's still racist and whitewashing to lighten just flora right? you guys know that keeping aisha's skin tone correct doesn't make it okay to whitewash flora right?

#its so... #for some reason its more annoying to whitewash just one of them and i dont know why #like obviously its Bad either way #but it feels so much more... deliberate when its just one #like how are you going to get one skin tone right and another wrong?? #like thats On Purpose #whitewashing both is obviously on purpose too but idk it just feels so much weirder to me when its just one #idk there's just So Much fanart with Practically White flora and not whitewashed aisha?? #its so weird to me?? #listen im not saying i want aisha to be whitewashed too like obviously not #but whitewashing Just flora seems so... targeted and on purpose #instead of just Usual Racism it feels so much more Specific #does that make sense?? #i think it feels worse because not whitewashing aisha shows that they tried with her or knew theyd get backlash #meanwhile they either didn't try with flora - wanted to make her white - or genuinely think its okay to lighten her #like they Know it's wrong with aisha but don't know that with flora and it's like ??? my dude ?????

unpopular opinion for this area of tumblr, beware+also abuse talk warning

admittedly, all the super casual bashing of saikis dad makes me really uncomfortable, like i dont totally disagree but i wish we didnt just all do it in the middle of other completely innocent headcanoning 😭 its never tagged or warned..

my personal opinions on kuniharu are not as extreme as some are on here, like i think he sucks but i dont think hes a genuinely bad person, he was just thrown into a situation he didnt know how to handle.. he reminds me of those parents who prepare to have a baby and get pregnant on purpose, but then the baby has a disability and suddenly, everything changes.. because they didnt prepare for this unlikely scenario, but it happened anyway, and now they have to figure out where to go from here.. kurumi and kuniharu BOTH made mistakes and didnt handle their genius/psychic kids in ways they shouldve, but its because they werent prepared for it

#i think im mostly just trying to point out how people pretend kuniharu is the devil and kurumi is a saint #but did kurumi ever defend her kid? no.. she treated him in a similar way.. #shes a great mom imo but she really isnt much better than him and if youre gonna bash him you kinda have to bash her too #and do you think she ever told kusuke off when she emotionally abused her other son and called him a monster? no #she didnt #and eventually kusuke turned to physical abuse #because she never tried to tell him it was wrong #and yk what #i dont really think kusuke is a bad person either #i think he learned all of his crappy coping mechanisms from their parents #but he took it way further #nobody else hurt kusuo like kusuke did #physical abuse is never excusable but both kuniharu and kusuke think kusuo is above that kind of thing #they think he's invincible so it doesnt matter #which obviously isnt true but thats kinda also what he WANTS them to think.. so.. #so all three of them kind of suck but its because their situation sucks #lmk if u disagree cuz i think we should hear each other out #saiki k #tdlosk #kusuo saiki #the disastrous life of saiki k. #kuniharu saiki #kurumi saiki #kusuke saiki #meows post

“least favorite” isn’t anywhere close to bad. it just shows how damn hard the competition is going, but we’re talking about gold medals all around for each actor i’ve seen portray the doctor so far.

#and again on acting alone. i think i might prefer him over tennant in the long run. #which isnt saying tenannt is bad either its saying like. i just love them both but i love what smith brings to the table just slightly more. #i dont really put the war doctor on my rankings very seriously because he only had the one rpisode. and it was. a bad episode. #but his performance endeared me enough to him eith his haunted eyes and the weight he’s carrying that i would. possibly with a bias. #put him between ten and eleven. #and then first place depends on the day but i think twelve has pulled ahead of nine just barely. like damn. capaldi Gets It man. eccleston #also Got It in similar ways but obviously his shorter tenure did give him less tjme to show it off and twelve’s gotten three seasons to show #just how fantastically capaldi pulls together this grieving weirdo. this man who loves so hard it burns him up. who is so scared of his own #goodness and losing it. he’s so good guys. #god i cant wait to see where jodie falls on this list im really excited for her take. and mr gatwa too. #and the classic who guys obviously. i mean i already like the guy they get to play One in the audios and im really curious how he measures #up against hartnell(?)’s original performance #i know the vibes will be very different than those of nuwho but im excited :)

i am once again thinking of a good omens wicked au, but this time instead of the obvious crowley as elphaba and aziraphale and glinda, im thinking of the OPPOSITE.

im thinking of how AZIRAPHALE fits elphaba's character in that he is an outsider amongst his peers and he's a little bit awkward and he's got so much faith in the almighty/the wizard. he's got "parents" (read: god) who expect so much from him and siblings who are ashamed of him. and he's got dreams! he wants to do big things! he wants to work hand in hand with and make the almighty/the wizard proud!

and im thinking about how CROWLEY fits glindas character in the sense that he's suave and charming and people are drawn to him. he knows how to talk to them and how to get them to do what he wants, and he's the one that teaches aziraphale things about the world (a la popular, like tempting aziraphale into eating meat and drinking wine and all these very human things he never would have thought to do without crowleys influence).

im thinking of how the two of them start out absolutely loathing each other, as mortal enemies, one could say... but how over time and as they bond more and more, as they see different sides of one another, that loathing turns into something else. something just as strong, just as passionate, but softer. gentler. sweeter. it turns into love.

and of course everything gets shattered when upon meeting his idol, aziraphale learns that god isn't what he thought she was. it turns out god is just a pipe dream. all there is is a floating head, the metatron, posing as god. and not at all the great and powerful entity aziraphale believed. and the metatron CANT help aziraphale, can't fix him. and thus the downfall of aziraphale begins.

#good omens #ineffable husbands #crowley #aziraphale #wicked #go wicked au #i am ALWAYS thinking about a go wicked au #ALSO thinking about how in this version of the au muriel could be nessa #and honestly gabriel would make a decent fiyero but like if you took out the romance part LOL bc i cannot see CROWLEY esp falling for him #i can't see aziraphale either but like i could see him as more likely than crowley certainly #but anyways someone random as fiyero and then its like aziraphale thinks hes jealous bc he likes fiyero #but ACTUALLY its fiyero hes jealous OF bc fiyero is the one that has crowley fawning all over him #but then crowley doesn't ACTUALLY like fiyero like he thinks he does. hes just using him as a distraction from his REAL feelings #(cough aziraphale) #HONESTLY this all works BETTER for their characters imo than the og roles we automatically think for them #EXCEPT for the fact that like OBVIOUSLY the whole hell being the bad witch and heaven being the good witch makes more sense #PLUS if crowley was elphaba then when she goes Full Wicked Witch at the end that is very much The Fall coded #so like THAT works better that way #BUT you could always turn things on its head and make AZIRAPHALE fall in the end #idk theres a lot of logistics that would have to be worked out and some stuff that would have to be changed to fit these characters ofc #if an au were to be written anyways #BUT YEAH I AM THINKIN™️

I only ever comment on tiktok in order to change ppls perceptions of Sanji smh it's all so surface level one way or the other and then I hit them w the deep analysis and they're like "oh wait I never thought of it like that.. ur right".... What am I doing spending my time white knighting for Sanji smfh

#not all men #they all hate him in different ways #either they wanna “fix him” #or they hate him for being a perv #and its like cool u dont like perv characters #but ur personal perception is just ur perception #have u ever thought about what his character means and its trying to portray? #do any of you have character defaults that ur afraid ppl wont accept? #does that limit your freedom? #freedom of expression and sense of self and confidence? #sanji portrays emotional and mental growth and healing #his womanizing is a bad coping mechanism #hes obviously harmless but it stems from finding comfort in women #while not knowing how to navigate that without his toxically masculine bravado that hes had to have to survive #nonetheless #no matter where Sanji is in life #the crew loves and accepts him #he has freedom to be imperfect and grow and change #on his own accord #and into the person he wants to be #something sanji never had access to #i mean usopp is a liar nami is a thief zoros killed ppl etc etc #the only one they focused on as a serious plot point was sanji #this is something specific and important for him in his growth #i have so much more to say i could write a novel #hes such a well written character #his message and purpose in the story is so important

Dumb ramble but I hate that you can't critique The Thing you love within a fandom space without some dude breathing down your neck like "Well actually that means you hate The Author and The Thing! And what about all the times The Author did this Good Thing? Checkmate, liberal." as if you can't be critical of something because you love it and want it to be better.

#just. i'm in a rush rn so i'm probably not articulating myself well and i could go more in-depth with my thoughts #at the risk of someone spinning my words into “cringe blue hair pronoun wants to cancel araki!” which... will happen inevitably #even though i don't know how many times i can repeat “i do not hate araki #this is specifcally about jjba btw because like. #look i love it and araki has done some good things (or at least had good intentions in most cases) #but i'm so over the fact he constantly has to reach for some form of traumatizing women in his writing #and I already hear “well it shows they're a villain!” #but does he HAVE to use assault? why does he have to use that instead of demonstrating their villainy in other ways #that don't need to use it as a crutch #i'm not even saying you can't ever write about assault #that's not my argument either. #I'm not even accusing him of being a bad writer or person but just. Can we please retire the overusage of assault for shock value? #i obviously don't hate people who enjoy the series regardless #i'd be a massive fucking hypocrite #i mean i've literally been in this damn fandom for 6 years and just now decided to post my art. #but i'm tired of any time someone brings up legit criticisms of the misogyny in his writing #it's met with “but araki did this-” like it changes anything. #i'm glad he did somewhat improve writing women over time compared to the earlier parts #that said. that doesn't cancel out the blunders he did make or will make in the future #even if he has good intent. #or really any criticism of the writing being hit with “but its not supposed to make sense #anyways rant over. probably going to delete later bc im tired. #tw assault #assault tw

#bonus under the cut getting that snout facing right at the camera #camerupt #early 2000s animation cow‚ apparently. that's what someone just said about the bonus image. i honestly never understood this thing's name #i always thought it was pretty obviously a cow. but then its name implies camel. camel erupt. camerupt. is there a specific kind of #camel that just looks like a cow?? or. what. or am i just misremembering what camels look like #either way‚ i still think this pokémon is pretty cool‚ but i don't really use it ever in my own playthroughs. i don't think i *ever* have #not even in pokémon colosseum where i'm pretty sure you can get a shadow numel at some point. bc i already had a fire-type #not sure which one it was but it was definitely one of them. maybe cyndaquil? because of the dudes with the johto starters #that you fight near the beginning in pppp uuuhhh the PHENAC city i couldn't remember the name. for a second there. #i wasn't aware as a kid that their outfits corresponded to the type of the starter they had and also that you could only fight one of them #i think as a kid i was under the impression that there was only the one. for some reason i remember fighting the green one #oh wait they have the second-evos yeah. cuz he had bayleef. and the red one would've had quilava. not cyndaquil #ugh my memory is not very good evidently. i'm writing these tags after work. normally i do them right when i wake up but this time i just #do not have an excuse for not being able to remember shit. this is just on me. maybe it's amplified by the fact that i have yet to eat today #which i have a very bad habit of doing. forgetting to eat all day and not eating until like 5 and then that being my only meal for the day #i'm trynna get better about it but it is Not easy for some reason. for something that should be decidedly very simple #but my brain doesn't often let me eat until i've completed all of my silly little Tasks. so. idk. this will however post the day after i've #arrived back home from my trip which is nice. the first time future me will be sleeping in her own bed again. good luck again future me #you might need it

ok now that I'm in elpis I'll probably just post/react and shut off my phone immediately after more than ever to avoid spoilers and allusions and such

#i hope people dont see it as rude but #is this a safe space #maybe its just me not handling sttention well but people's obsession with sprouts livetweeting is a bit weird sometimes ngl #either people not letting sprouts actually go in without any allusion whatsoever #or talking about future events IN MY OWN REPLIES LIKE YALL STOP TALLING ABOUT VENAT IN A TWEET THATS OBVIOUSLY COMING FROM SPROUT IGNORANCE #i mute any tweet that gets traction and isnt my own art anymore just b #people cant help themselves and i see it in other sprout's replies #and dont get me wrong i love people being excited to watch me go through it its very fun but damn some randos are weird #it just feels bad when i can tell people follow for that and not burgeaux/my art #and i know the solution is to stop livetweeting but why should i sacrifice the way i talk/post on my side account of all things #i hope this doesnt make me sound awful i really am appreciative and love talking with people about the story #it just puts a bad taste in my mouth sometimes and im not used to attention like this i guess

[caffeinatedopossum]

I think many people who refer to intrusive thoughts incorrectly as being like "oo I dyed my hair! My intrusive thoughts won today teehee" are actually thinking of *impulsive thoughts* which, while not always normal, are still distinct from intrusive thoughts

#i think of impulsive thoughts as being much more action leaning #like when you have an impulsive thought youre more likely to act quickly and think on it less #perhaps even regretting it later #and obviously this can be dangerous and harmful too just in a different way #and the only reason i make this distinction is because people with intrusive thoughts dont want to act on them #often they will think about it for hours because of how distressing the mere concept of them maybe wanting to act on it is to them #intrusive thoughts dont 'win'. you either obsess over them or forget about about them. theres no winning it just is #anyway maybe this is pedantic and seems unimportant #but as someone with often very distressing and obsessive intrusive thoughts #i can say that nothing scares me more than the idea that those thoughts will 'win' #impulsive thoughts also come from a place of desire/actually wanting to act on the thing at least a little bit #even if you havent stopped to consider that it might be a bad idea or you might regret it #its like if you think 'i want to eat a second piece of cake' and then you do even though you know this will give you a stomach ache #versus thinking 'what if i ate thumbtacks' and then being very worried that theres something wrong with you #you probably didnt *want* to eat thumbtacks. it was just a passing thought that couldn't be dismissed #i hope this makes sense at least a little bit and im not invalidating of confusing anyone

"its obvious that carmine physically abused kieran"

worst take i've ever seen in my life, beam attack.

#people really want realistic sibling dynamics until they see them and then all the sudden #siblings being little shits to each other is equivalent to physical abuse #btw i saw this on twitter #tbh i don't see either of them as bad guys. they're just kids figuring it out #'kieran is obviously autistic' and carmine is NOT??? #she obviously struggles with social interactions just like kieran but in different ways #its the dlcs fault for not letting characters fucking TALK TO PEOPLE

#personal vent incoming to just get off my chest don't be weird about it #i've known since i was a kid that my dad was overtly abusive but #just in the last 3-5 months i've learned my mom was and currently is almost just as abusive #but she's just covert about it instead #all of my adolescence was about surviving my dad who was so obviously a monster that he was almost easier to deal w in a way by comparison #this is. what an utter mind fuck #there's also like. no member of my family that i can turn to for help #bc they're either just as bad or my mother has ruined any relationship i might have w them over time #and i also fear being a burden #so i'm making a plan to get out but god it's overwhelming thinking about doing it all alone #and the thought that it might take years to actually get out or get healthy #she's kept me isolated from any support for so long #and im afraid any family that could possibly help wouldn't fully understand or they would be just as bad as her #and it feels impossible to progress at all bc im living w her and literally filed as her dependent on taxes #like ik this is gonna be the hardest thing to escape in my life and i've already escaped a lot #but this time i have to largely on my own #is v scary #and she's conditioned me to believe that i can't make any right decisions on my own without her #and that anything i do is always 'backwards' #makes it that much harder to make a clear plan #her work schedule is so inconsistent that it makes getting therapy online (since i don't have a license or car yet) nearly impossible #to do it without her or my brother listening #that i've just felt trapped for years #but. i can Tell i'm getting better now and rapidly. more than i've been for a v long time #so the process is just beginning and i think even she can tell #which is also dangerous #but ik i can do this its just the amount of time and effort and organizing behind her back and doing it alone thats v overwhelming #but anyway #we stay silly

[sonknuxadow]

it feels like almost every post i see about dr starline is either woobifying him and pretending he did nothing wrong or saying hes a bad character and their only reasoning for that is that he did bad things. even though hes a villain and hes supposed to do bad things thats the whole point? i dont get it . where am i

#i'd be more understanding of the second argument if like. starlines actions were portrayed in a positive light #and the writers wanted us to believe hes a good person. but thats not the case at all hes very obviously supposed to be evil #the comic doesnt defend him his actions are obviously wrong and we are shown the negative impact hes had on the people hes hurt #so i dont really get. how his actions make him a bad character? hes just a bad Person. which is a completely separate thing #im not even a starline fan either those takes just kinda confuse me #and im NOT saying you cant dislike him because of his actions. or be uncomfortable with fans of him who call him a girlboss and stuff #i can See why the way he treats surge and kit would be very upsetting for some people and i agree that its horrible he did that to them #just again. that i dont really understand the take that hes a bad character because he does bad things. hes supposed to be bad #i never really see people talk about other sonic villains who are just as bad if not worse like this either? just starline. idk #not vagueing anyone in particular btw this is just a response to many many posts ive seen #and i dont agree with the people in the first category either to be clear i just didnt have as much to say about that

[agesharp]

i am going to tell u an unfortunate truth and that is if you put anything akin to "reblog dont just [x]" "do not scroll" "don't tag this" people are going to ... not do that. and i can guarantee you anyone who's going out of their way to filter dono tags etc is filtering the post content itself too

#its very unfortunate obviously. and it sucks that people have to add conditions and disclaimers to themselves literally begging for help #its bad enough that people have tonprostrate themselves before others just for like 2 bucks #but people are heartless and cruel and if they don't want to help you they aren't going to help you. and chances ate they're not going to #spread the word either #idk what to do about any of this its just been on my mind #💕 #i think the moral of the story is just.. its notnreally worth adding stuff like that to your posts #because the people who dont want to see it will find ways to jot have to see it. #you know?

[fandom-fae]

honestly. on one hand. i really really really like the version of peter pan from once upon a time, in the way that the actor does a phenomenal job, the character has great dialogue and is just overall really really enjoyable to watch imo. but then i remember how he kept wendy in a cage for like 300 years and like

i stan him but that is so. AGSJDHJDHDJ. like i feel SO BAD for wendy there. this poor girl honestlyyy. like. that’s so disturbing honestly. like i can’t imagine much things that would mess with someone’s psyche more than that. like if he had just kept her on the island then fine, but constantly in that tiny hanging cage??? big OOF.

like i’m sure she’d need like permanent therapy afterwards and even then how would you even begin to unpack that in therapy???? like??????

#like pan ily but was that necessary????? #the worst part abt liking villains is when they do stuff like that ahdkndkfnfkf #(that part is a joke. just to be clear) #like idk he’s so cool but that makes me side eye him anyway. also cuz like? what was that like?? like was she just kinda there or did he/the #lost boys actually interact with her? on a regular basis i mean. other than giving her like food and whatever. and like if yes. then how did #they interact? was it taunting her? more civil? maybe with some of the lost boys even friendly? or just plain threatening?? #like there are things that are way more outright and obviously cruel but this is like probably the worst thing he’s done bc its so prolonged #like abandoning rumple was bad already. but he couldn’t have known that that pain would last for hundreds of years instead of a few decades #and the thing with killian’s brother liam was also not great (i don’t remember the details of that scene so idk rn if he told them about how #the water works exactly or not so idk if he was being a total bitch or if they just didn’t listen) but either way liam’s pain was also not #that long yk? like he died and that was that. sure- killian’s grief was v v long but idk if i’m counting that bc he’s not the one that was #directly hurt yk? anyway yeah. AND THEN THE THING W WENDY. like taking her as a hostage is one thing but doing that for iirc THREE fucking #centuries in such a tiny ass uncomfortable looking cage???????? that’s ridiculous #like i can’t even fathom how much her psyche would be messed up by that irl #moi #fandoms #ouat peter pan #ouat wendy darling #peter pan ouat #wendy darling ouat #once upon a time #ouat #hajshdifjjdjd #sorry for the rant but it was fun and will happen again <3

hsmtmts you couldve been such a good show..........

#crunchyposts #hsmtmts #genuinely mourning how good it couldve been but they just got hit with so many scheduling conflicts like #covid and actors being unavailable etc etc horrible circumstances and then also just chose to make it bad after that lol #ive genuinely read fic of the show better than season 1 which is my favorite season and is still flawed #rini slowburn throughout the entire show........ we (ie me a rini fan) couldve had it all #ashlyn realizing shes bi without needing to break up with her boyfriend and same for big red but i know what happens in s4 #without even seeing it i heard what fucking happened and im pissed #ricky couldve developed better coping skills w/o needing to immediately break him and nini up again #either dont make them get together after s1 or stretch it out for longer so its not so jarring #i wanna rewatch s1 now :(((( and i wanna reread i bet theres other reasons i warm your heart #btw this post is from a rini fan pov but i do realize that with the way ricky was written it wouldve been best if they didnt end up togethe #i just liked them. and like to believe that they couldve worked it out at some point while also helping ricky get better #maybe instead of. immediately in s1 going for nini he works out his issues which gives him confidence to ask her out again pleaseeeeee #also coming at this from a slow burn childhood friends to lovers fan pov so obviously i am biased and its just what i wouldve liked most #not necessarily what would be objectively best for the show

[thisisnotjuli]

sometimes you read a post and you think to yourself holy fucking shit do usamericans really live like this????????? honestly the insane behaviours I learn from posts saying stuff like "this [thing] [that the post talks about like it's normalized/common] is fucked up" is absolutely nuts

#i am obviously not going to mention this in the original post in any way. but this is because #i just read that post about how 'peoples reaction to seeing a person walking with a white cane is either fearful or agressive' #and obviously i am noone to say anything about the topic. seeing as i dont use nor am close to anyone who uses a white cane. #but. i have seen plenty of people using white canes out in the streets in my life. and a few i see/saw quite frequently #like both of us walking on the same street regularly for a while #which of course doesnt make me anyone with enough information to have an opinion about that post i read #but never in ky fucking life have i seen *anyone* react the way that post described to someone walking with a white cane #and i seriously think its just because usa is so fucked up and usamericans have so many hang ups about people with disabilities #the whole 'but are you REALLY disabled or are you just faking it' bullshit theyre obsessed with #but seriously. people here see someone walking down the street with a white cane and they just. move out of the way #theyre not 'eithr scared or agressive' #ive seen people who're in a hurry get impatient‚ hell im pretty sure ive been that person once. but they just fucking wait #or find a way to walk around them. or something. #ive seen kids get curious about it qnd i remember when I was a kid and cueious the first time i saw someone w a white cane #walking to school and i asked my dad about it. i also remember being a kid and not getting out of the way fast enough and #lightly bumping into a person w a white cane #anyways my point is. im not saying theres no people who're shitty about it here i al sure there are #and i know for a fact that blind people do suffer from discrimination here and ut fucking sucks #but. nothing at all like that post describes. im pretty sure thats just. usamerican bs. or not bs but. sucking really bad. or smth #mine #me #personal
