This is like completely unrelated to anything but the ask about insallah reminded me of it. I hate the fact that white people are now going around jokingly saying insallah and bismillah to be funny. Like die. If I say it correctly, in the right context, I'm glared at and treated like I'm weird/dangerous. looked at weird but oohh Biden can say it and get applauded. White atheist Tumblr users can randomly add it in their comments and seem funny etc. Anyway rant ended thank you for listening to my ted talk you don't need to publish this ask if you don't want to
no you're right. it's absolutely valid to feel that way, i feel the exact same. if i know the person and know their good intentions with using the world, even as a joke, then it's fine. but it you're just a random white person using "inshallah" as the butt of your joke then honestly stfu i wish your mother had gotten an abortion. so on and so forth.

there’s a little something about reading james’ characterization in older fics from 2010-2018 before the whole james sunshine potter developed. i love how he’s more arrogant and a cool aloof asshole in those it can be really refreshing. (aside from the fact that in most of those he’s mildly homophobic fjksks)

in what ways do robin and nancy help each other???? like what do they give to each other, like new perspectives etc etc. im interested in hearing what u have to say abt it :)
ooo okay okay i have been thinking about this for a whole day and i have Thoughts. they may not be super coherent but pls bear with me.
ok so i think the scene in pennhurst is probably the best example of their relationship. robin's outburst + nancy's surprise at it. even just in a platonic way, not necessarily romantic, robin picks nancy's side. she doesn't crumble. she knows from the get go that nancy is right. and even if she doesn't fully believe it, robin knows what it's like to not be listened to just because they’re women. jonathan did not. (i am not going to get into the jancy argument of s3 becausee they were both right, just in different ways. i'm Not getting into that rn)
i think for nancy, not only does she have a friend again, but it's a friend she can have a genuine connection with? they both have shared trauma, so nancy doesn't have to hide anything from robin. and a friend that believes her. which i think is even more important. nancy is so, so used to not being believed, and here comes robin, who, even though she wasn't 100% sure about nancy's shot in the dark, still believed her enough to trust her hunch in the first place. to have even an ounce of trust in her theories, to not be mockingly called "Nancy Drew," to have someone believe her. i think having that person to say "no, actually, you were right, and you've been right. no, this asshole is not going to undermine you, screw. that." is so incredibly important to nancy. that "we ask forgiveness, not permission," attitude. (robin says that in the rebel robin podcast. it's canon to me.)
i think ultimately, robin is a step in the right direction for nancy healing over the loss of barb. she's letting herself become friends with someone again, she doesn't have to close herself off from friendships anymore. and no, robin can't shoot a gun, but we know she can take care of herself. she's not completely defenseless. but robin is that key, that first step in the right direction, to heal from barb.
and even in case of (hopeful) s5 predictions and whatnot, i think robin is a completely new perspective for nancy in general, and will continue to be. robin is someone who exists outside the boxes that most people fit into, the ones that nancy is actively trying to avoid. i do hope we get a robin coming out to nancy scene in s5, just as a bridge of trust between the two, ya know? (this is just wishful thinking for me, but i also personally would love to see robin come out to nancy and then force nancy to reflect on her own self, too, ya know?)
ultimately i think it's about robin and nancy being/bringing a balance to one another. they balance each other out in a way that neither of them have probably had for a while. AND i think that's what's made them so entertaining as a dynamic, they aren't one thing or the other, they're both way too complicated for that. instead, they bring a balance to each other that either one has likely not had for a long time.

how ELSE would you pronounce bernard? i mean i agree that it’s a silly name but like, what secret pronunciation option do you know that somehow makes it not silly?
Like "BUR-nerd" big emphasis on the Bur not so much on the nerd - the American way seem to be like "bur-NArd" with a big emphasis on the nar sound and something about that just sounds so goofy to me

I belive the character you ship with Jack is a self insert yeah? Do you have like a post that details ur self insert? Like anything that fits it into the Canon or the world or is it just you redesigned to fit it?
heyo! and yeah this is my shrekverse (heh) self-insert (somewhat of an oc variety),, and i’ve been stalling making an introduction post about them for ummm almost two months now. that doesn’t reflect well on my lore-dumping ability and organisation skills. my bad. ANYWAY some basic info about them since you’ve asked hehe!
— their name is Helmine Héloïse, greve von Winther, prince of Schwanenteich and Nebelswald or (for those who don’t have time for all that nonsense) just Néné. they’ve got hereditary Evil Step-sibling Syndrome, no less than one (1) magical talking animal up their family tree, an arrogant and sliiiightly jealous disposition, A Curse On; and an inherent weakness for one (1) loud pink-haired pie-selling kingpin :3
(néné is based on ‘One for Sorrow’ nursery rhyme, which shows through their curse - there’s an unidentifiable black bird always following them as a mark of their perpetual misfortune and misery, while everyone else in their close proximity is granted hundredfold good fortune (this magical ability is what initially had drawn Jack to them obviously. who wouldn’t want a potent good luck charm in their collection (even one as haughty and tempestuous as Néné was (at first at least. they’ve mellowed out considerably)
anyway thank you for asking! have a great day :)

we (yes I'm guilty as well) ship suneo and gian, but I think that realistically speaking gian would be homophobic 💀
I think you're wrong, for the most part. It's not really realistic, but it's a possibility.
See it's a little difficult to claim really how bad any of them could potentially be when it heavily varies? Not because it's 'complex' but because sometimes the characters just do things for the sake of humor or the plot. For example, Suneo having a rabid dog attack Nobita one episode vs episodes where he worries for his safety over minor health hazards. So I kind of judge on the behavior on average, or just go more with the movies because I enjoy those more.
Besides, this series is old. Things can tend to get a little homophobic, though I can't recall anything from this series outside of like.... just very eye roll worthy gags like 'isn't it funny how two boys kissed, laugh now!' I wouldn't take that so seriously.
But even when you take the movies, and even series, into account I'm pretty heavily doubtful he'd have such an attitude. He tends to be a lot more in tune with his emotions than expected, and also you look at this and tell me 'oh yea he'd be a bigot':
It's all about how you interpret them, how you can pick and choose canon. As an example, I'm not going to call Nobita a weirdo pervert 'realistically' just because some things had him being a creep to Shizuka, because that in general isn't fun to consider or sit through.

hm. in a way i know i am lucky slash privileged that my (probable) autism is mild/light/high-functioning/whatever the appropriate term is enough that it took me years to realize its autism, and that often the reaction to telling someone that i think i might be autistic is "what? but youre so normal! you were a normal child!". cuz like. some people have it way worse etc i can probably survive without help. but also i often wish that it wasnt and that it was severe enough that i got diagnosed early on (or at all). bc that would mean that at least ppl like, know why im Like this. that id know why im like this. that id get help. etc. ik this is like not actually what would have happened and that ppl who are "more autistic" get treated horribly but ig its kinda like that thing where ppl who werent traumatized in their childhood but are still fucked up wish they were actually traumatized so theyd have a justification for being like this (something i also feel). chipped cup wishing it was a broken cup. yk
