#no hate to op

[unsaltedtoast]

Just saw a tiktok of a straight girl complaining that she wasn’t turned on during saltburn and that it disappointed her? Why is media literacy dead on that app?

Rant incoming

IMO, part of the point of the bath scene (her main complaint) is that it’s supposed to make you a bit comfortable, it’s supposed to completely break a boundary.

Viewers are already on edge, given that Oliver watches Felix through a door, at an angle that appeared INCREDIBLY exposed, almost as if Felix could turn around at any second and catch Oliver. That scene gets you in a vulnerable position already (on edge) and then instead of doing the two expected things- moving on and getting Oliver to go to his own room, or Felix noticing and reacting to him- he isn’t caught.

He doesn’t go to bed.

He goes FURTHER. He pushes FURTHER.

So, it’s normal however you react. Thats the beauty of being human, some people like that stuff, but it’s just as normal to feel disgusted or strangely empty after that scene.

Now, I’m a lesbian, so I don’t take in media in the same way as she does, I imagine. From her perspective, I imagine she went in expecting two (or more) attractive men being seductive, and was disappointed by the fact that Oliver’s sexuality was very deranged and obsessive, that Felix’s sexuality was very much in the dark, given Oliver’s perspective of the women he slept with. I can imagine that it’s disappointing and I can’t fully understand that, but it’s unfair to judge the film on whether or not you find it personally hot.

I think people are forgetting the actual point of the film and are just seeing it as ‘I didn’t find it hot so bad rating’. I think the unconventional love, sexuality and attraction is the WHOLE POINT of the film. It makes it. I think you should find Oliver cringe, even if you like his character or plot etc. I think he kind of takes parts of people that are relatable or attractive and then twists it. So by completely disregarding the entire thing because you didn’t find it personally attractive, you miss out on the point.

Main point because I went off track a bit there…

Essentially, I think you’re supposed to be unsettled by the bath scene particularly, to some level.

The whole film follows Felix in tiny moments, washing six months of homoerotic friendship with a romantic filter, idealising his and Oliver’s relationship as the most important, beautiful thing to ever be born from Oxford.

And I think you forget for a minute that these moments are SMALL. In Oliver’s head, they’re not, so to us, they also appear big and cute, but they’re barely even present if you really think about it (in a romantic/sexual way, not platonic). Then suddenly Oliver is watching him masturbate, drinking the water, licking the drain. It’s all suddenly *too* much, overwhelmingly obsessive, completely reminding the viewers that Oliver is the narrator, the protagonist, the one painting this beautiful image. Reminding the audience that this relationship is nowhere near this point yet is the reason for that scene to some level; it physically forces you to reconsider who is the ‘good guy’, if Oliver should do this, if he is anywhere close to being able to get away with this. I think you suddenly look back and think ??? Felix would think this is crazy ???

It’s crazy, because I argue the bath scene isn’t even the moment this theme is introduced. The film sets this up SO EARLY. DID YOU MISS THE SCENE WHERE FELIX IS UNDRESSING WITH A GIRL AND OLIVER STANDS OUTSIDE OF HIS WINDOW WATCHING HIM??? That’s foreshadowing: he doesn’t understand the boundary here, he’s incredibly jealous of Felix’s sexual life without him so he places himself in his life, even if Felix doesn’t know. Thats the point. It’s just shoved in the middle of a montage of these perfect moments between the two so you see it and think OLIVER STOP BEING WEIRD!!!

Anyways. TikTok please engage in critical thinking before posting challenge xoxo

My problem with this shit is that Alicent puts down another woman based on petty fucking reasons in the show. It’s petty. It’s bullshit.

To start off, Show Alicent is a Mary Sue. If OP was talking about Book Alicent then I’d understand. Book Alicent starts the rumors (bastard rumors etc) and antagonizes Rhaenyra for power, and she utilizes the patriarchy to do so. Show Alicent was stripped of her ambition. She was stripped of the agency she had in the books. Her plots and schemes genuinely suck in the show. She’s incompetent and I hate how the show runners completely changed her character from a scheming ambitious bitch to a Mary Sue who only did what she did for pettiness.

The reason OP shouldn’t be happy about Show Alicent creating all those rumors about Rhaenyra’s sons is because she is endangering children for the sake of nothing. Alicent’s trust was somehow broken (petty reason, aka Rhaenyra lied to her once) and now she completely has it out for her former friend (there’s complexity to the issue, I know, but it’s still petty as fuck and a true friend wouldn’t have done this). Also, let’s not forget that she also went behind Rhaenyra’s back and broke her trust by getting cozy with Visery’s (not the same situation and her father pressured her, I know that, but if you can’t see the hypocrisy here (aka they both went behind each others backs) then idk what to tell you). Show Alicent’s incompetence also makes me fume because the plotting/scheming/antagonizing she does that OP is so proud of is completely mind numbingly stupid. An example of this: making Rhaenyra come see her after she just gave birth was idiotic. How many people probably felt bad for Rhaenyra? How many court ladies probably balked at it? Another example of Show Alicent’s incompetence: talking down to Rhaenyra at the council meeting did her no good. She was the one who was giving out the wrong answers. She was disagreeing with Rhaenyra for petty reasons and it probably made her look bad in front of the other council members. She’s just a bully in the show, and a bad one at that.

Basically, book Alicent is superior. Book Alicent actually does what OP claims Show Alicent does. Show Alicent is watered down and ruined. Her and Rhaenyra’s friendship in the show was a mistake on the writers part. I wanted my evil green queen who used the patriarchy to her advantage. I wanted her to be a villain. Instead I got a character who’s (1) incompetent, (2) petty in a way that does not further her own goals and makes everything worse, (3) she was made into a Mary Sue, (4) she was stripped of her agency, and (5) someone who so horrible that she would endanger her childhood best friends children. She had no reason to fear for her own children’s safety, but she did in the show because she was made into an incompetent buffoon. The war in the book was started because of Alicent’s ambition. The war in the show was started because Alicent MiShEaRd what Viserys said.

I can understand Book Alicent’s reasons for putting Rhaenyra down. She wanted power, she had ambition, and she took her own agency by using the patriarchy. It’s impressive. Show Alicent is a backstabbing bitch. She lost everything that made her great. She was written as a victim and I despise the Show writers for this.

Just saw a post about how Taylor Swift isn't really a gay icon bc she doesn't really fit into "gay music." Kind of funny because gay music is such a subjective thing. Taylor Swift is an icon to THIS gay, but she might not be one to you. And that's okay. Let's not police a personal concept.

#just thinking #no hate to op #I get where they were coming from #but also I believe the concept of gay music works a bit differently #Taylor Swift #midnights #gay #gay culture #popcornwithnate

mob tells reigen to shut up accidentally... two!!!

abbreviated ID: An mp100 comic. Teru tells Mob "shut up" can be a reply to something funny. and mob later tells reigen to shut up after he tells a joke, shocking reigen. Full ID under cut

[ID: A black and white Mob Psycho 100 comic. Mob smiles and says something marked as “[funny comment]” and Teru laughs hard, clapping Mob on the shoulder and exclaiming, “Oh, shut up, Kageyama!” Mob sweats and says, “Oh, sorry.” Teru, frowning, asks, “Huh? Why?”

Mob says, “You told me to shut up?” and Teru holds up his hands, looking apologetic. He exclaims, “Oh! No, no, no! That means I thought it was funny!” He flusters, smiling weakly and trying to explain. “When someone tells you to shut up and they’re laughing it means it was funny! Like uh... uh... Okay I can’t explain it but you know what I mean.”

Mob looks away and says, “Not really...” He smiles at Teru. “But I'm glad you thought it was funny.” Teru rubs the back of his head and says, “Ahaa yeah! I did!”

The view cuts to Spirits and Such, where Mob is writing at his desk and Reigen is scowling behind his. Arms crossed, Reigen says a “[snide but funny remark]”. Mob gives a “hehe” and smiles, “Good one, master.” The background turns dark gray as the view zooms in on Mob and he, still smiling with big eyes, says, “Shut up!”

Reigen’s mouth parts as his expression goes to blank shock. The background behind him is stark black. End ID]

tw: murder, transmisogynoir

( article published feb. 24th, 2024 )

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina man was found guilty Friday of killing a Black transgender woman in the nation’s first federal trial over a hate crime based on gender identity.

After deliberating for roughly four hours, jurors convicted Daqua Lameek Ritter of a hate crime for the murder of Dime Doe in 2019. Ritter was also found guilty of using a firearm in connection with the fatal shooting and obstructing justice.

A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled. Ritter faces a maximum of life imprisonment without parole.

[...]

The four-day trial over Doe’s killing centered on the secret sexual relationship between her and Ritter, the latter of whom had grown agitated by the exposure of their affair in the small town of Allendale, according to witness testimony and text messages obtained by the FBI. Prosecutors accused Ritter of shooting Doe three times with a .22 caliber handgun to prevent further revelation of their romance.

[...]

Doe’s close friends testified that it was no secret in Allendale that she had begun her social transition as a woman shortly after graduating high school. She started dressing in skirts, getting her nails done and wearing extensions. She and her friends discussed boys they were seeing — including Ritter, whom she met during one of his many summertime visits from New York to stay with family.

But text messages obtained by the FBI suggested that Ritter sought to keep their relationship under wraps as much as possible, prosecutors said. He reminded her to delete their communications from her phone, and hundreds of texts sent in the month before her death were removed.

Shortly before Doe’s death, their exchanges grew tense. In one message from July 29, 2019, she complained that Ritter did not reciprocate her generosity. He replied that he thought they had an understanding that she didn’t need the “extra stuff.”

He also told her that Delasia Green, his main girlfriend at the time, had insulted him with a homophobic slur after learning of the affair. In a July 31 text, Doe said she felt used and Ritter should never have let Green find out about them.

[...]

Green said that when he showed up days later at her cousin’s house in Columbia, he was dirty, smelly and couldn’t stop pacing. Her cousin’s boyfriend gave Ritter a ride to the bus stop. Before he left, Green asked him if he had killed Doe.

“He dropped his head and gave me a little smirk,” Green said.

from the HRC:

Doe’s friends and family remembered her on social media as having a “bright personality” and being someone who “showed love” and who was “the best to be around.” Another friend wrote, “If I knew Friday was my last time seeing you, I would have hugged you even tighter.”

according to NYT's article, she also worked as a hairdresser. she was only 24.

First off this absolutely cursed AU was inspired by Lemonomelette and a post they made -X Secondly I imagine it all being about bots and cons trying to one up each others factions and not actually helping in any serious way because their too busy with their own faction bs.

Think of two rival car dealerships across the street one upping each other to get business and instead of business with cars its interstellar robot fairys trying to woo sm children to let them grant their inconsequential wishes (which may or may not be worth it) instead of the other guy next door.

#this whole thing is so stupid and im so sorry but holymoly i got a brain worm and it just went feed me with this bs #also that first image is more of riffing off of lemons's original post than anything to do with this au in general #cus mega and op would be their faction leads- #i just liked the original idea of starscream being a shit angel or fairy in this case on his shoulder #maccadam #transformers #lemonomelette #lemon i really hope u dont mind me drawing some cursed as ff art from this hell #i hate even typing the tags for this hot cringe #mtmte #fuk butch whats his face tho #megatron #starscream #soundwave #oh i did draw humanformers that actually go with this bs but i havent decided if i wanted to post it yet #ratchet #ultra magnus #deadlock #wheeljack #jazz #transformer crossover #fairly oddrobots #artz #pie artz
