#that performance is superior

[mysillyside]

The way I completely lose all interest in Lawlight as a ship if Light isn't Kira. And frankly, I feel like L would agree with me on this one. I don't think he'd gaf abt Light in the slightest if Light wasn't Mr. Serial Killer.

#Lawlight only works if Light is Kira bc otherwise light is just some rly smart pretentious teenager. #Like you're telling me L a 24 y/o self made multi-millionaire and the world's greatest detective (top 3 if you count the aliases)- #would care in the slightest abt mr “i got a perfect score on my college entrance exam”. Be fr!! #Idk the ship loses everything that makes it fun and appealing to me if you remove Kira from the mix #Ik ppl do “Light isn't Kira” AUs to make the ship more wholesome but i'd argue it just becomes problematic in a diff way. #L is not only way older but also extremely rich and successful. If Light is innocent but still a suspect- L also has immense power over him #Ig i don't see the point of trying to make Lawlight wholesome. It's still problematic but without the goofy homoerotic enemyship. #Light being Kira not only makes them equals but gives them spice! #However I DO get the appeal of “Light isn't Kira” AUs where Light is still a fake asshole who's performatively nice but hides his real feel #But removing his misogynistic swag/superiority complex/his bitchy internal monologues to make him normal? No... #Imo even if he isn't Kira he'd still be a weirdo. The only Yotsuba!Light is so normal/nice is bc he's trying to prove to everyone- #but most importantly himself- that he's a good person incapable of being Kira. He's trying to be the best version of himself. #Pre-Death Note Light for example is never as outstanding and good as Yotsuba!Light for this reason. Yotsuba!Light is the exception. #Like the Death Note doesn't make you pretentious or hate women that was all Light Yagami. #this is such a random rant sorry guys XD again more power to ppl who enjoy this AU or normalguy!Light but I don't get it personally 😔 #death note #light yagami #l lawliet #lawlight #💬 katposts #🤪 sillygoofy

[omegasmileyface]

are there any songs where you like a live performance better than the studio release?

#as for me a big one is Sorrow by Pink Floyd. every live version ive heard is superior to the album version #personal favorite is their 1990 performance of it at knudson. which is on spotify! maybe replace the second half with the Pulse performance.

RE discourse since I guess literally everyone's opinions matter

didn't think I'd want to add to this or die on this hill but here we are I guess :D there's been so much discourse for Leon x Reader and it boggles my mind how naive some of you are of the internet, fanfiction, and fiction in general. But I'm gonna make a bullet list and hope this doesn't get too long

Don't like it; don't interact with it

Simple, there are block buttons for a reason but no you all want to be ethically and morally superior and complain on a website where most of the user base are adults. You curate your own experience on the internet, the blogs who write dead-dove state what it's going to be about before you read it. You only have yourself to blame.

What about the kids?

Honest to god who cares. Are they your kids? Do you know these kids? There used to be porn on here. Don't act like kids are so naive and need protecting. Most of the kids on here are probably tweens or young teens and they definitely know about sex. And if they are actual children, it is their parents responsibility to keep an eye on their child. and I have faith these kids are not illiterate and they can google anything that they don't know in the tags. They are also responsible for curating their internet experience. You gonna go to ao3 and ask what about the kids? Many places on the internet are not meant for kids and honestly it should be kept that way.

Dead-dove will influence others and propagate pedophiles, rapists etc...

No. I hate to break it to you, but people who are legitimately terrible morally corrupt people will just go out and do it whether or not they read fiction. They're not lurking on Leon x Reader tag when there's also just actual terrible published novels that are essentially all dead-dove, but worse because there's no warning before you read them. The policing of fiction on one website will not stop or drop SA rates and if you truly believe so, show me an article/journal/study that links the two besides an odd case here or there.

It's no ones kink!

Have you been on pornhub? I guarentee you it is someones kink, and as distasteful as that may seem to some of you, guess what? No one is forcing you to be into it. I'm not into some of the dead-dove stuff but also I'm an adult and I realize that and I can move on. But also, fiction for many i imagine is a form of catharsis. To help deal with trauma or work out dark thoughts. You can go around and accuse blogs of being morally terrible but when the only evidence you have is they wrote fiction, about a character that doesn't exist, it's a weak argument.

You don't need to voice your distaste in everything

Recently, there has been an uptick in dead-dove content. But also for the most part, there are so many other blogs that don't write that. You are focused on a minority and your complaining about ethics and morals are only performative. You want to gate-keep fiction? You don't like non-con, fine. What if a story has a pivotal moment but there's non-con. What if there's a genuinely good series but there are dead-dove elements. You want to laud over these blogs and look better but banning content is a slippery slope. ao3 doesn't do it, and people love ao3. It trends when it goes down. Just because something bothers you, you don't have to do a whole crusade. If it really bothered you, you wouldn't be complaining on the internet. Go out there, form help-groups, you could even do a degree is psychology or criminal justice. You're all so worried about the impact of dead-dove but you only care because it's in the leon x reader tag. and let's be honest, most users following this tag are women. Living out a fantasy.

In closing:

Everyone pressed about dead-dove should be grateful that the blogs even put a warning. And if you truly cared about the issues you raise in your arguments, you would understand that reading fiction is the lowest cause for someone to go out and commit crimes. Not when certain religions exist, or manifestos, or even cultural norms. The internet, and even writers in general, cater to a lot of things. Tumblr has a block button, use it and stop trying to police others unless you plan on applying the same rules to every site you interact with.

#resident evil #leon kennedy #leon kennedy x reader #i had fun scrolling through all the different stories #but now its all just pointless discourse about being morally superior #my post #didn't touch on rape sa apologists #but like its fiction #no one is doing that in any of the stories if they were they wouldnt feel the need to add all the dead dove tags #i just hate when people are performative about how superior they are and how much more morally upright they are #youre still on the internet on this hellsite #youre not better than anyone

seriously. i mean, what’s even the point of this HS? other than try to stir shit up of course. don’t make this a china vs korea thing please on how they treat c-ent and kpop stars in pfw. as a yibo fan, i don’t really care ya know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

there’s enough room for everyone. Chanel is a very well known brand and there are bigger names than Jennie who represent it. and lol-ing at the anti yibo comments, where’s the nationalism huh? why you all siding with the “enemy”? c-netizens and their hypocrisy tbh. they really have this internalized hatred for their own, seeing all the hs and comments not only for wyb during this pfw but for others. they can’t stand being proud of people in domestic entertainment representing their country abroad? how toxic.

can’t we compare the talent instead? There’s a sure winner on that question between the 2.

#wang yibo #i said what i said #both are yg trained but there is a clear superior one when it comes to performing

Overjoyed for Ke Huy Quan and gutted Stephanie Hsu didn't win.

#everything everywhere all at once #eeaaoo #ke huy quan #stephanie hsu #oscars 2023 #she should've won #really think jlc got the “it's her time” vote #not that she was bad in eeaao #but hsu gave the superior performance by far

saw someone on twitter today say that the iwtv movie was low effort. oh so we're just making things up now

#the sets! the costumes! the stan winston special effects! #neil jordan directed this movie very well. there are some great performances #i do think the show is superior but i like the movie as a more straighforward adaptation of the first book

Even since Michael's heavenly ascend, not just the music industry but, quite frankly, the entertainment industry as a whole has been left with a massive void that I don't believe will be fulfilled in the near future or ever again. That man had a star power equivalent to three Galactuses at their most powerful. You will never witness someone like that ever again, not in this lifetime nor the next one. He was and still is one of a kind.

#michael jackson #txt #michael is one of the very very few celebs i actually care about even though he is no longer here with us physically #how come this man has been dead for nearly a decade and a half and he is still more relevant than the most relevant LIVING celebs rn???? #that's how you know that if he was still around people would go just as insane over him as they did decades earlier #michael is the biggest celebrity artist performer entertainer of all time. there is no debate around this topic #the mj fandom on this site is practically dead but i know there are a few of you that will come across this and agree wholeheartedly #i manifest the biopic being a massive commercial and critical success #it will gross over $1 billion at the box office and become one of the most profitable movies of the 2020s as well as a staple in biopics #specially the musical ones. we are gonna make that happen #i mean we already do a far superior job to his actual goddamn estate so we can easily turn this into an overnight hit #not a sleeper hit/cult movie but an INSTANT hit #the closest people we got michael's level of legendary fame are paul mccartney and madonna but even they don't make as much noise #i'm (not) sorry but michael was truly built different. he was on a category of his own #a category so incredibly monstrously and insanely high that i don't believe anyone else will ever be able to reach it #no swifties taylor swift isn't on michael's level either #her level of fame is closer to madonna's at her peak #a massive star but not on michael's level. michael was practically worshipped outside of america even in the most racist anti-black #cultures you can think of. he broke racial barriers like that #and madonna was still bigger than taylor in her heyday lol #so what does that tell you? #i'm sorry but being famous was far more impactful back then than it is now #social media changed the dynamic between the public and celebs forever

The chattering classes are mad at Suella Braverman again. What’s she done this time? Brace yourselves: she said racial collective guilt is a bad idea. She said we should not demonise an entire race just because some members of that race did something bad. She said we should never engage in racial shaming. Is there no end to this woman’s nastiness?

I’m old enough to remember when comments like these would have been utterly uncontroversial. When they would have been treated as decent and progressive, in fact. Right-thinking people once railed against the ideology of collective racial punishment, against the ugly idea that the sins of the individual should be visited upon the ethnic group he or she hailed from.

No longer, it seems, judging from the audible intake of breath that greeted Ms Braverman’s insistence that racial shaming has no place in our society. It was at the National Conservatism conference in London that she uttered the incendiary words. White people, she said, should feel no guilt for the crimes committed by white people in the past.

‘White people do not exist in a special state of sin or collective guilt’, she said. ‘Nobody should be blamed for things that happened before they were born’. To my ears, this is as commonsensical as it gets. The idea that white Brits should feel culpable for a vile, cruel practice like slavery that was abolished more than 200 years ago is crazy. It had nothing to do with them.

Braverman’s words will infuriate the identitarian left, however. Because they do buy into the ideology of collective racial guilt. They do think people in the present should self-flagellate for the horrors of the past. 

That’s why writers for the Guardian go on about ‘white debt’ – the need for whites to acknowledge and even apologise for British slavery. Why there is pressure on King Charles to say sorry for slavery, despite the fact that he’s never owned a slave. Why articles are published with headlines like ‘How to apologise for slavery’, advising white nations on the right way to repent for historic wrongs.

Under identity politics, white people are expected to beat themselves up for every bad thing done by white people. They’re told to ‘check their white privilege’, to repent for their original sin of racism.

‘White Christians’ must ‘repent of our own prejudices’, as the Archbishop of Canterbury said in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd in 2020. As if every white – including the little old lady who worships in a CofE village church – bears some kind of collective responsibility for that terrible American crime.

And yet we’re expected to believe that Braverman, with her critique of collective racial guilt, is the bad person, while the modish left, with their belief that all white people should do penance for the wrongs of others, are the good people.

There’s a delicious irony here: the right-on activists who damn Braverman as a racist pox on British society behave in a far more racist way than she ever has. Braverman’s articulate stand against the fashionable rehabilitation of racial shaming is anti-racist in the real meaning of that phrase.

Here’s the twist in this tale. The reason some will be bristling at Braverman’s takedown of white guilt is because they like feeling guilty. Confessing their white privilege makes them feel good. In fact, racial self-loathing, bizarrely, has become a shortcut to the moral high ground for the well-connected. 

This is the most important thing to understand about white guilt: it’s a moral boast disguised as racial remorse. In checking their privilege, in expressing regret for the crimes of their forefathers, in apologetically saying ‘As a white person’ before their every utterance, the white middle classes are really advertising their heightened moral sensibilities. They’re making a big, noisy display of their superior levels of racial and social awareness.

It looks like they’re saying, ‘Oh God, I’m white, how awful’, but really they’re saying: ‘I am a virtuous person. I am a special person. Behold my righteousness.’

In a sense, white shame is the new white pride. It’s the means through which well-educated white people demonstrate their social superiority to others, to the less racially aware, to the gammon and the chavs. 

It provides them with the tingle of moral superiority in relation to black people, too. There’s a saviour complex to these nauseating theatrics of white guilt. Guilt-performing liberals fancy themselves as the therapists of the black community, arrogantly believing that their mawkish, self-serving displays of historic regret will help to fix those allegedly wounded people.

This is the dirty secret of white guilt. It recreates the unequal relationship between whites and blacks, only in this instance the whites are not oppressing black people but rather are delivering them from their sad, broken state by telling them how sorry they are for old white crimes. It is breathtakingly paternalistic.

Hence the discomfort with Braverman’s stinging aside against white guilt. White guilt is the soapbox from which the new elite signals its specialness and builds up its cultural power. They cannot believe an uppity woman like Suella might take it away from them.

Saw some discussion on the internet of people dissatisfied with the morality driven vampire who abstains from human blood because of its invocation of vampirism without the messy and complicated parts, but now I feel compelled to explore a story about vampires finding justification for their vampirism even as their actions get more and more monstrous — morality as a set of comforting excuses. Which, I can't say Mr. Kenneth "we go drink the Creepy people only at bars I promise (<- he lies)" Mond exploiting his perception of Adrienne's morality to convince her to help him get blood in Regards didn't already go into that a little bit as part of Kenneth's affectation of being a reserved and proper gentleman, but the nature of that novel did not allow me to fully get into some deranged vampire morality infighting, since that was not the point of it. So, maybe I will have to write a book that does let me play with those ideas.

#writeblr #writers on tumblr #writing #vampire books #vampires #I'd like to put a number of morality-obsessed vampires in a room together and watch them try to convince themselves and each other they're #not doing absolutely terrible and monstrous things so as not to break their Superior Moral Character façades they keep #Adrienne in Regards was good at trying to convince herself that what she did as a vampire wasn't Wrong but #she was trying not to be a Good Ethical Vampire. she was trying to convince herself she was Not Truly A Vampire #which is a completely different story #one was concerned with the relativism of identity while the other will be concerned with the performance of morality
