Am I the only one that feels like NTs HATE saying 'I don't know.'
You will not believe the amount of times I'll ask a basic objective question about a situation and they'll give me an answer, only for later the answer to be completely wrong. And then when I ask them why they would give me wrong information - they say 'I just guessed.'
I didn't ask you for your guess. I asked for the information. If you didn't have the information don't just GUESS. Say 'I don't know.'
I feel like NT don't realize that WRONG information is worse than no information.
If I want to know when an event will end and you say '5pm' - I'm going to be mentally prepared for 5pm. And if it DOESN'T end then, not only will I be out of energy, but I'll be irritated and confused because I'm in an unfamiliar situation with NO INFORMATION
Had you just told me 'I don't know what time it ends' instead of GUESSING 5, then I would've prepared for the worse. But now I have to literally rearrange everything in my head and talk myself down from meltdown cause I was given inaccurate information and also I thought I was going home.
But they act instead like saying I don't know is a moral failure.
My father used to yell at me all the time to not say 'I don't know.'
He'd always demand I figure it out and come up with SOMETHING no matter how uninformed or vague and that's how you have NTs walking around feeling like it's a crime to admit they simply don't know something
and instead they'll just shamble something together and hope that's good enough regardless of whether in the information is actually helpful or correct.
IT'S SO ANNOYING. JUST SAY YOU DON'T KNOW.
Stop guessing and giving me WRONG information because it only makes the situation worse and more confusing. Say you don't KNOW. It's FINE.

Ok so I'm not even upset that the couch metaphor wasn't about Eddie. But I am a little upset that they did all that work with the symbolism of the couch and how Buck needed to find his own agency, only to then turn around and tie it back into yet another person outside of Buck himself. Make it make sense

Candy Necklaces
jason todd x gn!reader
ao3 link
summary: you and jason get matching necklaces
tags: implied smut
rating mature (mdni) | wc: 0.5k
Jason would love seeing his initial around your neck, but he would secretly love wearing the first letter of your name even more. The necklaces are an anniversary gift, the two of you picking them out together. The letter pendants are small, on a chain longe enough that it can easily be tucked out of the way and into clothing if needed. You don’t mention how he goes a little teary eyed as you fix the clasp around his neck, the way his arms come around your waist as he leans down to kiss you slowly. The next few weeks you keep catching him staring at your chest and the little J that rests there, a little catch in his breath every time the glint of gold catches his eye.
It becomes a habit for Jason to play with his necklace. Pinching the pendant between his thumb, running it back and forth on its chain. There’s a warm glow in his belly at this proof of affection. That he’s yours and you’re his. It never really goes away, that feeling. It’s why he hates taking it off so much.
The only time Jason ever takes off his necklace is for patrol. Just the thought of losing it, of having it get torn off during a fight, is enough to open up a yawning cavern in his chest. Every night that the Red Hood appears, Jason adds his necklace to yours for safe keeping. Likes seeing the two necklaces together around your throat, safe, and knowing that you’ll watch over this part of him until he comes home.
Jason gets a little obsessed with watching the necklace swing as he thrusts into you. He gets a little hypnotized by it, moving his hips and body to get it to swing in different ways. You have to gently tug on his pendant to bring him back to you, pull him into a kiss. He’d make it a habit to kiss you silly, then trail kisses down your neck. His favourite look for you is wearing nothing but his name around your neck and you deserve to know exactly how much he appreciates it. He loves mouthing at your metal J where it rests on your sternum, glued to your skin with the light sweat of exertion.
Nearly six months later, after an anniversary date for the night you met, you present Jason with a little white box. Inside are two matching T pendants, the same kind as your necklaces. You tell him, “I think my name looks lonely without a “Todd’ after it.”
It takes him three days and a comment from Tim to figure out that that was you proposing to him. Sends him running for his favourite (civilian) leather jacket and the inside breast pocket where he’s been carrying around a ring for months.
“Were you serious?”
“…You’re going to have to be a bit more specific than that Jason.”
“About making your last name ‘Todd’.”
“Oh, always.”
“Then I’ve got a question to ask you properly.”
The two of you wear your matching jewelry to the wedding, the Ts added to them. And if Jason fucks you a little harder, a little sweeter, at the sight of a JT at the hollow of your throat and the ring on your finger, well, that’s for you to enjoy.

I know I'm definitely not the first person to complain about this, but guys...REBLOG.
REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG
As creators we're on this platform for the community and the interaction, not for the faceless likes (which do nothing for the algorithm on top of that).
If you like a fic, tell the author in some tags! If you enjoyed an artwork, reblog and leave a comment. Even an empty reblog helps. Don't want to clutter your blog? Make a side blog.
I've seen people say that we 'don't owe each other anything' and that's true. But if you want to keep enjoying free content, you guys better start reblogging.
Cause otherwise all the artists you admire so much, or the authors you've followed for years will disappear into their private circles and there won't be any content for you to enjoy at all.

honestly, i think ro's going to be killed off at some point. she gives off that vibe, and i think shannon's trying to get rid of her. plus that'd be a sort of major character death.
she's also associated with keefe, and im pretty sure the keefe fangirls would murder shannon if she actually killed keefe off, so ro is her best option.
not that i care much for ro, just a theory.

i think i've said plenty on the topic of ganondorf's morality/redemption potential in other posts (both my own and tags in reblogged) but i have this to share that i think it's important:
you're never going to get a good ganondorf if your standard of goodness is hyrule.
ganondorf's existence, both as person and... heir of demise's role in the narrative as disruptor of order, if you will, is the antithesis of hyrule's system. regardless of what your opinion of him and the validity of his actions in his various incarnations across the series, there is one thing that should be obvious: ganondorf cannot peacefully coexist with a hyrule that doesn't involve him ruling it, either because of desire for conquest or because of the marginalization of his people or both.
writing a ganondorf that is in any way, shape or form agreeable or even compliant to the way hyrule treats the gerudo is not true to his character. it's not that a morally good and morally right (and there are moments when he is in the right in wanting to change things, even if his policy of "the end justifies the brutal means with which it's achieved" often makes the problem worse) ganondorf is impossible, or doesn't exist, or can't be done without doing justice to his character - it's that as long as you hold hyrule or the goddesses as ultimately good, as your height of morality, it's impossible to reconcile it with ganondorf as we know him.
so long as hyrule is the one telling the story, he will always be the villain. no matter how right and how good he might be.

Tumblr socio-political observation time
Identifying with fandoms and movements and brands to validate yourself has led to a society where your interests define you and your character instead of your character defining you and your interests and I think as a whole that's why performative activism is so rampant
(and likewise it's probably why people are so protective of the things that bring them a sense of self and why it's so important those things remain politically neutral and separate from politics but that's another post)
I dont necessarily think it's a Bad as in something that makes you evil but it is bad in that we now have a lot of people doing things in good faith that some are doing in bad faith and all these people are being painted the same because as a whole we arent critically engaging with ideas anymore
As a millennial I know am very much responsible for creating that climate. I think a lot of us grew up thinking that we could shame people into being "good" the same way that we were shamed growing up anytime we had an opinion that differed from our bigoted genx & boomer parents.
It manifested in a lot of ways but one of the prominent examples that most of us will remember is doxxing. Now I want to be clear that I never did this myself but doxxing, call out posts, block lists, etc were everywhere from I wanna say about 2007 to 2017 when I'd say it's status as a common social behavior started to be frowned upon and ineffective.
We were trying to hold people accountable with those actions.
I think that very much backfired. Bigots just got better at hiding and they learned to co-opt our language and mental health terms to gaslight us when we did call them out until those words became meaningless to use. It's simple to not appear bigoted now. Just don't share anything from known bigoted brands or companies and don't follow anyone problematic. Easy.
Cuz those define you and your character, right? Isn't that why y'all still put "supports x" as reasons for your own call-out posts? That's what validates or voids your good person card. At least, thats what everyone made it seem like a decade ago.
The millennial failure was how superficial it all was. We weren't dismantling anything. We were shaming support of x, y, & z as a way of shaming bigots and racist comments and calling them out, but we weren't actually learning to recognize or dismantle racism itself and that's how 10+ years later most of us are watching our kids deal with the same shit we did except now they're also struggling with critical thinking skills inside and outside the classroom.
I think a lot of millennials mixed up righteous anger with doing what's right. Thinking that because we were angry about bigotry and taking it out on bigots that meant we couldn't be bigots. I mean everyone is a little bigoted but not like Bigots™ are bigots, you know?
And then we refused to put ourselves under that microscope or think about that any further. We stopped thinking about a lot of things, I think. We started accepting that we would be told what was okay to believe in or say and I think a LOT of millennials esp white millenials still wait for someone else, especially a Black person to speak on something so they can see the "right" side they're supposed to take.
Someone please learn something from this. This is still very much racist and avoiding the issue is still very much enabling white supremacy.
It will only go away if it's directly addressed.
•••
So I'd like to submit a formal request to bring back one good thing from back then. White responsibility for white supremacy.
Some of us may remember some posts that said if anyone should be responsible for engaging with white supremacists and helping them break down their beliefs it'd be white ppl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that its dangerous work for anyone else to do (for obvious reasons) and besides that white supremacists won't listen to anyone else. And allies did.
Bring that back.
The defensive white retaliation to this idea is seen on any mutual aid post in comments like "fuck your emotional labor, I don't owe you anything" or "idgaf if youre black/disabled/gay/whatever I don't owe you shit." So for the people getting ready to type something similar in my notes: This is a white supremacist defense mechanism that reinforces BIPOC isolation through individualism without seeming malicious on the surface. We all owe each other something tho; it's how a community operates and how humanity has survived for so long. Don't fall for this line of thinking and don't bring that nonsense to me.
White supremacy won't go away on its own and white supremacists sure as hell won't go away by letting them fester behind block lists until they're old enough to run for senator so if you can handle this task then respectfully, do it.
"but white supremacists are a waste of time to talk to" yeah for those of us who they'd rather see dead.
The labor and time it takes to make a white supremacist see you as a human who says words worth listening to so that you can then have a good faith conversation about politics is not WORTH the effort and risk to safety for the people who they hate. Especially not if we're doing it and getting death threats 9x out of 10 or they just wanted us to waste our time and exhaust us out of being effective
So if you are not included in the list of people that white supremacists want dead then it is worth your time and in fact is arguably one of the most productive ways to spend your time.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Since I saw this post about Eddie this morning I have a few words about the parallels between Eddie and Michael and the queerness of it all
First, and probably the biggest in this context, is that the show makes it a point not to dismiss Michael's marriage to Athena when he comes out. Throughout the show, we see time and time again how much they love each other, even though it's not romantic. They spent years of their lives together. Had kids together. Built a home. That doesn't all just stop being true because a partner comes out. And 911 did a pretty great job of showing that.
With Eddie and Shannon, we also see the love that's there. We see how much they try to hold on to the idea of that love from the beginning. They have a kid. They build a life. But it's not enough to undo all the damage to hair relationship. Shannon knows this, while Eddie is desperate to rebuild this life he's been told should be his ideal. He still loves her. However that's interpreted, it's undeniable.
We also have just the fact that Michael came out late in life. Which is what Eddie would also be doing. Michael had a feeling his whole life. He knew but didn't want to face it until he had to. You look at Eddie and tell me that man isn't suffering from a dire case of hetcomp. He was told to "be a man" from a young age growing up in his southern, religious, conservative household. He definitely was not looking at everything he has repressed. Until perhaps his breakdown.
You remember who else had a major life changing event just before meeting the love of their life and future husband? Who was actually with him on the day he was emotionally all over the place. That's right, Michael. And then we have Buck. There for Eddie on one of the worst days of his life. When he loses it and starts to rebuild.
And the Eddie we see post breakdown is more carefree and open and vulnerable. He's doing so much better for himself and those he loves. He's happier. Almost like Michael after coming out and meeting David.
There are probably others that I'm forgetting right now, but this is already super long. So please feel free to add in the tags and such. I just can't stand people being so intentionally obtuse about the fact that a man can marry a woman, love her, build a life with her, and STILL BE GAY. In conclusion, Eddie Diaz absolutely loved Shannon. That does not mean he can't possibly be queer.
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
