You know The Sandman series tells us that any story that goes on long enough eventually ends in death... But since the Endless siblings can't technically fully die until there's no longer any living thing left to Dream, Desire, Despair etc etc I think a far funnier finish to that story would be the entire universe ending, except for Hob Gadling who is stubbornly floating around in the void refusing to die because "Guys, I really want to see what the next universe looks like 😃". Meanwhile the seven Endless are all just stuck eternally bickering inside his head.

Something I've noticed is I prefer lurking, even in a fandom as wonderful and old as the TF fandom
Because y'all will shit on someone for any character
Getaway, for example. Is he inherently good after what he did to Tailgate? No.
Would y'all be all over him if he hadn't done that to tailgate? Yeah. You would.
Why do y'all excuse everything Megatron or Overlord or Starscream or whoever else has done but you don't excuse getaway too??
Because frankly, y'all excuse some mad heinous shit just to get an excuse to simp for popular ones like Megatron and overlord (who are two of the worst bots in the ENTIRE franchise. I love them both, but you know I'm right)
Like I'm not even gonna fight anyone on this, again, I mostly lurk
But this just pisses me off
I don't excuse what getaway did to tailgate. But I don't excuse what any of my other favourites have done either.
Y'all really need to recognize that, with very few exceptions, media is simply meant to be enjoyed and for people to feel emotional in some way (good emotions, sad emotions, etc. That's the point of content dude, a story to enjoy)
Anyways I'm kinda sick of seeing BS about getaway when you will excuse the slaughter of billions or the abuse of countless characters by other characters
Another brilliant one- cyclonus treats tailgate like utter shit initially. Y'all excuse the shitty way he treated tailgate too, just because they're cute together and canon. Do I love them together? Yes! Do I think a lot of bots in the franchise become marginally less fucked up together? Absolutely! Am I also one of maybe three people I've ever seen talk about what cyclonus did, even briefly? Yeah. I am.
We've all got opinions, we do. That's the point of being different people sharing interests. But I find it ridiculous that so many of you excuse so much until it benefits you to clown on a character you just don't like. It even happens with Starscream and megatron. You hate megatron because he mistreats Starscream and mostly it's only mentioned by people who love Starscream, not people who love them both. But y'all either don't realize or care that they both beat the shit outta each other. A lot. In basically every continuity since G1. They were both pieces of shit. Love them fr though.
Rant over, but I'm sick of seeing shit and I have a Tumblr to freely say what I want now so. Feel free to beef with me, idrc.

I didn't realise who this was until I went to block them, but bogleech found me on DA
Yeah, not shocked in the slightest they don't remember me, that's the privilege these guys have; they get to throw heinous paedophilia accusations at survivors, tell them they deserve to die over fiction and then just move on with their life like nothing happened.
TW: CSA mention, Incest mention
In case you can't tell; with everything else going on my life right now, I have no patience for this left. Don't want a survivor to dump their trauma on you? Don't claim drawings of an imaginary friend are equivalent.

Ah nothing like waking up to "you need to understand nuance and educate yourself" on a topic I am actually very educated on.
Like, for wanting this to be my private blog reasons I don't disclose a ton of details about work and whatnot but like. I am in tech. I work with programmers. I don't program AI myself but I can understand what the programmers who do are venting about.
So not only do I understand what AI is but also? I have legit concerns about what Generative AI will do to creative industries. So seeing it in my hobby? Yeah, I'm going to be pissed. No, I'm not going to wave off OTW's legal person expressing pro-ai sentiments.
Also? The word reading implies comprehension which implies sentience. So yes, I'm going to presume she thinks fucking ChatGPT is sentient unless she provides proof to the contrary.

my relationship with my body and my gender is so. weird.
like. i dont consider myself hot but i also know that i'm hot in a (conventional, skinny) girl way and i dont wanna be hot in that particular way and it feels weird to know that when people are attracted to me it's because of that
and i dont like looking girly but i also want to wear like. skirts/dresses/etc but i'd rather look like a guy in a dress and not just. the way i do.
i guess mostly it all boils down to like. i've never felt like a 'girl' but that's the way i've been perceived since i was born and i dont like it

It’s almost as though the tag title begins with “anti-” as a warning that those posting under that tag don’t in fact like that particular character(s) or ship(s) since they felt the need to tag it “anti-.” So I’m not sure as to why Team Black and Team Green stans get upset when they knowingly venture into these tags only to then argue with those in the comments (who agree with the post) about how their opinion is wrong. Those who after knowing that the post was not going to be talking about their favorite character(s) or ship(s) in any positive light proceed to view the post. That would be like if I already having previous knowledge of how a particular blogger felt about Sansa Stark went to their blog and viewed all the Sansa Stark related things they have posted and proceeded to become upset about what they were saying about Sansa Stark. I simply would not do that. Nor would I go through the tag "anti-Sansa Stark" instead I'd go through the "pro-Sansa Stark (just as their is a “anti-” tag their is also a “pro-” tag. In the “pro-” tag you’ll find others who like both the character(s) and ship(s) you like). Especially since said blogger has already addressed several times why they don’t like that particular character(s) or ship(s). That being said it is not that difficult to avoid things that speak in a negative light about the things you enjoy. You yourself would be a lot happier and the fandom wouldn't be so “aggressive”.
Admittedly some people aren’t tagging things properly(the Nettles tag is a mess specifically for this reason)/don’t have tags blocked/don’t block or unfollow blogs they disagree etc., but yes, it’s easy enough to filter through what you don’t want to see(on here at least).

not to hate on anyone who has said this but i am slightly offended at the idea that destiel and byler (or the shippers and their experiences) are not comparable or similiar.
while its true that destiel was not intentional from the start, it has been confirmed by writers, producers, and actors that it was known, acknowledged, talked about, and invested in, even on set. much like byler.
unfortunately the biggest problem lies with the CW, where spn was hosted. they fuck heavy with censorship and homophobia. around s12 they did a survey to test the idea of dean being gay, bi, and with cas (because god forbid there be a gay person). for whatever reason ($ and hatred, prolly) they, the cw, decided deans sexuality was not going to be explored in detail after the surveys.
yet we still got a love confession from cas as early as s12. and in the very same season dean talked about how his dad won his mother over (aka his ideal for love), it is revealed that dean made a mixtape for cas. just like his dad did for his mom. that very same episode is played out exactly like a scorned lover after cas betrays dean. dean says, "he came into my room and played me"
and you dont get this cinematic of a shot for platonic besties. js
and yes, while there is a large portion of the general audience that still doesnt see the clear markings of deans (mikes) sexuality and reciprocated romantic love; the many that enjoy media analysis and follow literary cues see it has been clear for awhile. even with all of the effort the cw used to try and indicate otherwise.
now i dont think netflix and the duffer brothers are giving us the same circumstances. which is great and im so glad we are living in a slightly better situation rn, but give respect where its due. destiel is not a crack ship and it wasnt even as subtextual as johnlock, no hate to johnlock. but destiel is more and has been for awhile. misha, jensen, and richard speight gave us the symbol of cas' devotion and deans salvation(see below) just as noah and other cast members have been coming out as byler shippers.
cas' devotion and deans salvation symblosim explained: cas saves dean from hell and dean is left with this physical reminder
fast forward to the end of the series - cas has saved dean once again. cas' true happiness is in loving dean so he saves dean by confessing his love. once again leaving dean a physical reminder (the handprint idea came from cas and deans actors, so again they CARE about the character, their developments, and relationships)
we've all been called many disgusting awful things for shipping destiel and most of them have indeed been rooted in homophobia. but mostly we were called delusional. delusional for loving this silly little ship that provides satisfying character development and analyzing the scenes, scripts, and anything we can get our hands on. and of course, delusional for finding comfort in these characters that we can see ourselves in. sound familiar bylers???
tldr; destiel and byler are pretty similiar. destiel is in fact contextual, subtextual, real and canon, just like byler will be. the main difference is the better world we live in, with less hatred and more love for explicit queer representation. where the company producing the show is actually not as homophobic (arguably at least censorship and queerbaiting isnt their thing)
