shoutout to genuinely nice people, keep doing what you’re doing, the world needs you

I would just like to add that while the Kit Connor situation is obviously morally repugnant, one aspect that I haven't seen people touch on is how this will effect queer reputation in the media landscape.

like if you clowns keep acting like this do you think any actors in their right mind (queer or otherwise)will sign on to do Canon queer projects if what they have in store is harassment, and rabid invasive fans bullying them and invading their personal life and the personal life of their friends or family?

OF COURSE THEY WONT. For years one of the bIg fights was getting actors willing to face the homophobia and invasive "do you like guys though" questions from the press and a movement that these questions to actors were vastly inappropriate

AND SOME HOW WEVE GONE AROUND EXCEPT THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

from a pure, cold perspective you guys need to understand if you want big mainstream queer rep, you want movie franchises and more shows then these IP's need to be marketable. one of the biggest ways to make a project marketable and to attract producers and studios is to have big name or established actors attatcted....

AND THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN IF YOU KEEP BULLYING PEOPLE WHO TAKE QUEER ROLES

What i haven't seen anyone touch on yet but I wanted to point out is this Kit Connor situation genuinely endangers queer reputation in the media landscape. no one will want to make, fund, or continue to be a part of these shows if actors refuse to be a part of them or quit after one season because of the harassment they could face.

All I can say is, queer community, if you see this behavior, and you want to keep having queer representation you need to tamp down and crush this harassment when you see it, or we will go backwards.

Look, I didn’t want to be a half blood. Being a half blood is dangerous. It’s scary. Most of the time it gets you killed. If you think you might be one of us, my advice is turn away while you still can. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth. Try to live a normal life. Because once you know what you are, they’ll sense it too. And they’ll come for you. Don’t say i didn’t warn you

The Little Mermaid: Welcome Halle's Ariel

Ok so you know I couldn't get on here and not share my two cents on the new teaser for the Little Mermaid live action film starring the extremely talented Halle Bailey. So apparently the film is once again getting attacked like it did back in 2019 when it was announced that they had casted Halle, a black woman, as Ariel. Once again, your ignorance becomes you, trolls. Just like like last time, you hide your blatant racism behind so called "concern" for the film, wanting it to stay true to the original. I said it last time, and I'll say it again: There is nothing wrong with a black woman playing this role. Ariel's skin color literally offered nothing to the characters story. With Tiana, her being black contributed a hell of a lot to her story, but with Ariel? She can be Hispanic, Indian, Asian, mixed, etc. because the viewers got nothing from her being white. Hell, I would say that will be the same for her being black in this but I'm sure a whole bunch of young black girls are going to watch this and be amazed by her so that's actually a good thing. Like seriously, if you don't like the fact that a BLACK person is playing your oh so precious white character who is being done dirty by the big bad Disney woke agenda (btw shut tf up about that, there is no agenda in this. You act like they're going to have her character speaking about BLM or something in the medieval fairytale times or something), then here's the best option for you: Don't watch it. Shut up and let the rest of us enjoy it cause guess what? We don't care about your opinion. Go home and cry while holding a framed picture of the animated Ariel.

Oh and to piss y’all off even more, here’s the teaser of Halle killing Part of Your World.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Sooooo now I’m just trying to figure out what the actual fck was the purpose of the Gina and EJ buildup in s2 if this was the payoff???? Also if we’re not gonna see jet in s4 they can honestly just keep it😂 If by some chance EJ is in s4 ( I hope so I actually like him) it’s going to be awkward as hell cause as of right now there is no way he can maintain a friendship with Ricky after this season. But let’s wait to see what happens next episode and I’ll come back to this.

I feel…like some of you need to just…admit that you really don’t care about the crap that black women receive/go through because of their hair and how important it is to them. Nor do you understand why what was said at the Oscar’s was offensive and stupid. Nor does it seem you will ever care. It just really frustrates me because we all know that if Will hadn’t slapped Chris nobody would be talking about what was said, and people think that folks should just grow a backbone but they need to realize if you’re not talking about yourself and what you’re going through/went through, you don’t get to do that for others. Point blank. And I just find it so hypocritical of Chris Rock to make a film about black hair and how black women should love their hair and that they don’t have to change it to please the white people but yet he wants to stand up on that stage and make that “joke.” It’s just absolute bullshit if you ask me. I’m not saying Will should have done what he did, but I’m sure not mad at him and I do understand.

STORY TIME ABOUT MY CRAPPY EX FRIEND PART 2

I felt like maybe I did something wrong, that I was the bad guy. I questioned whether or not the friendship was ever even real since he was so quick to drop me but yet still remain friends with everyone else that we worked with. Thankfully, I have good coworker friends who honestly now don’t like him, probably even hate him who were able to cheer me up and help me realize that I’m not the problem, he is. Also, and you’re all going to love this, I actually called him. Yeeeeah. I was on the verge of having a panic attack one night and Diane wasn’t picking up her phone, and I didn’t know who else would be up at that time in the morning. And unfortunately, he was the only one I know who likes to burn the midnight oil as much as I do.

So, I called him, he helped calm me down, and I straight up asked him if we were good. Of course, he gave me a bullshit answer. “I’ve just been busy; I haven’t had time to really talk to anyone.” Riiiight, which is why you can send Diane TikToks every day, and slide up on her Snaps and Insta-stories, and you’ve been so busy but yet you found time out of your entire day to go and unfollow me from pretty much everywhere. Bro, don’t bullshit the master bullshitter. Also, I would like to add that he liked to get a little flirty-flirty with Diane when he got a little high and can’t seem to take the hint from her when she doesn’t respond to the dozen of TikToks he sends her on a daily basis. Sir, you have a whole girlfriend, and Diane doesn’t want to sleep with you. Pick a different hill to die on. Despite the fact that he says he loves his girlfriend, got her a promise ring, he claimed he was going to breakup with her on Halloween (didn’t do that), saying she was immature with her money. Liar, liar.

But, it’s okay. Because he’s out here looking terrible like a walking, talking skeleton, he got demoted from a sales man to a mechanic and now wants to quit despite only being at the new job for about four months (funny how he was only at my job for about 6 months, I'm picking up a pattern here), meanwhile I’m flourishing. Don’t you just love Karma? I want to marry her. Speaking of which, I need a girlfriend, but I'm waiting until after college cause I’m trying to focus on passing college and don’t need a distraction. Got to get that degree, you know what I mean? Sorry, way off topic. Anyway, the moral of this story time is if you act like a shitty person, shitty things will happen to you, and the people you hurt will only rise and grow. But you know what? Since I’m such a good person, I do wish Chad the best. Cause he sure as hell gonna need it. *END OF PART 2*

STORY TIME ABOUT MY CRAPPY EX FRIEND PART 1

Ok, story time. So, I work at a local store and I tend to make friends with my coworkers. Some of them I’m extremely close with, like to the point that we’re practically like siblings. Well, I made one friend a couple months ago. This guy who started working there, let’s call him for safety reasons Chad. Now Chad seemed like such a cool guy. Smart, funny, really open-minded and down to Earth. Basically, all the good aspects that I be looking for when it comes to friends. So, it’s not a surprise when me and him became good friends. Honestly, I was so happy to have a close guy friend since I have a whole history of having trouble making friends with other guys. I can easily make friends with girls, but with guys it’s a whole different story. The ones I do have are either more of acquaintances or just people I had to talk to based on circumstances such as work or school.

But anyway, we became close friends and everything was going great. Until he decided to leave us to go work for his girlfriend's dad. Yeah, let that sink in for a second. His girlfriend’s dad. Not his fiancé's dad. Not his wife’s dad (despite how much he likes to call her wifey on Snapchat), his GIRLFRIEND’S dad. They hadn’t even been dating for a year yet. Now, in the past I have had some experience when it comes to friends leaving for whatever reason and usually it ends with me being the one they move on from and forget about while I’m left still holding onto the friendship. Chad knew that, I told him, and yet, that’s still how our friendship went. Word to the wise, I’m a Libra. And us Libras have a tendency of using gifts as our love language. I do it with all my friends, Chad was no different. I drew pictures, I left messages of encouragement, I even went and brought goodies for them sometimes. So, for his last day, I made some chocolate cupcakes, drew a digital picture for both him and his girlfriend reenacting a scene from Lady and the Tramp (one of my best works btw), and since he has had trouble in the past getting sleep and we use to talk about dreams and nightmares and lucid dreaming, I personally handcrafted a dream catcher for him that took about a week to make, something that none of his other guy friends or girl friends/girlfriends have ever done for him, his words, not mine. So, you would think this friendship would last right? Well, you would be so wrong.

I wouldn’t say he “ghosted” me, but what he did was much, much worse. He made me think that the friendship was over because I was the issue, the problem, the reason. He told a mutual friend of ours, let’s call her Diane, that he unfollowed me from every social media platform without telling me was because he was getting “bad vibes” from me. Ironically, I hadn’t spoken to him at the time for about a week or two because I didn’t know his new work schedule so I didn’t want to bother him if he was busy. The last time I had talk to him ( the other times afterwards he barely responded) was on his first day at his new job, I texted him “Hey! Hope you have a great first day! I know you’re gonna be amazing at this job!!!” to which he replied “Thanks bro!! I really appreciate the support.” A little side note, his “wifey” got “dressed up”, got him a store-bought chocolate cake, some roses, a balloon, a bottle of wine, and a cringey card and he couldn’t help but gush all over Snap about it. It wasn’t until Diane had brought up the fact that he didn’t give me a shoutout on Snap after everything I did (not that I was expecting him to do so, but now it’s kind of annoying). But back to the story. I didn’t realize he had unfollowed me until Diane had told me that he posted something about his biker friends on his private story, which I used to be a part of, but when I couldn’t find it, questions started to pop in my head. And I'm a very inquisitive person. But yeah, upon investigation, (neither the FBI or Joe Goldberg have anything on me) I discovered he unfollowed from every single social media platform, even TikTok. When Diane told me why he did that, I will admit, I got depressed. *End of part 1*

The fact Joshua Bassett had to read y'all say he groomed Olivia whilst he was coming to terms with being *actually* groomed and sexually abused as a teenager breaks my heart in fucking two

[artistshadow]

This is random, and I literally just found your profile in the Joshua Bassett tag, but you weren’t hating on anybody in the post I found you on so I’m gonna dump this thought on you (I’m going to mention white supremacy, SA, and Nazism, so you definitely don’t have to answer this)

As someone who really likes Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Joshua Bassett, I took note of the fact that the newest way to trash on Josh is to say that “Olivia has no obligation to speak out in support of him after he broke her heart” and it reminds me of a conversation that surrounds Taylor Swift a lot.

Taylor gets called a “performative activist” and “white feminist” all the time, and a lot of that comes from the timing of her speaking out. She didn’t make political opinions known until maybe 2018, which was 12 years into her career. In that time, White supremacists used her as an example of the “blonde hair, blue eye” combo, and she said nothing.

So I’d have to assume that the livies who hate on Josh would also say that Taylor had no obligation to distance herself from being associated with Nazi ideologies, which is so obviously not true.

When you’re a celebrity, you have an obligation to use your voice, but you also have to make sure that the spaces associated with you are safe for your fans. By Olivia not speaking out with people harassing Josh about being queer or being SA as a kid, spaces associated with liv aren’t safe for people in the LGBTQ community or people who have been SAd

By NOT speaking out against it, she’s welcoming it

Idk if any of what I said actually made sense to anybody but me, and sorry for dumping this on you, I have a lot of thoughts.

No it's fine, I'm an absolute attention whore who loves the sound of my own voice so an invitation to share my views on completely random things dumped in my Asks are always welcomed!

I completely agree. This idea of not being obligated to do something meaning that it's OK when you don't do common decency is such a brainworm take that it drives me crazy. Olivia may not have any obligation to speak out against her fandom's harassment of Josh (a lot of which has included rape denial, biphobia, homophobia and attacks on personal appearance) but as I've said before; it would be the nice thing to do. As for celebrities shouldering personal responsibility for the actions of their fans/the public in their name, I have mixed views.

Taylor being adopted as a white nationalist symbol was nothing to do with her actual public persona, not re-enforced or encouraged by the content of her art and was completely out of her control. It was such a ridiculous situation and I think anyone looking at it with a reasonable mind would've known that it was not a mind-set Taylor was remotely in alignment with. But she did speak out politically in the end and when you watch her documentary which covered her decision, she literally says what I have been here; that she doesn't HAVE to do this, but she is because it's the RIGHT thing to do.

Olivia and Josh's situation is very different in that it's not quite on the same level as Taylor's yet I feel Olivia has a lot more personal responsibility for the situation as it was her art, the content and distribution that lead to this situation. What her fans have been saying to and about Josh has been backed up by her music. I like her music. It's good music, well written and well produced and I'm not going to say she shouldn't write her feelings because she absolutely should and I think DL going viral probably took her and team totally by surprise.

Where she's gone wrong is not realizing that very very early on people were not going to bat for her music, they were going to bat for her personally and sending hate to Josh on an assumption that was re-enforced by her music. She didn't have to put out a statement that said not to harass him, but I think it would have been the decent thing to have done when she realized what was happening (and there's no way she didn't know). Her failure to do this has been taken by her toxic fans as approval of their actions and they have whipped themselves into this false reality of Joshua being so evil that he would lie about being sexually abused as a child to spite HER.

I would argue that the time where Olivia was obligated to do something has passed now, and the damage has been done. I do feel sorry for her in the sense that I don't think she ever intended that this music would become as widely known as it did and that she probably is dealing with her first ever heartbreak which I know from experience can absolutely kick your ass. I don't hate her, but I've not been impressed by her silence. Heartbreak sucks but it's always going to take a backseat when I think of the fact this situation lead to Joshua having his sexual abuse mocked and denied to his face. I don't care about anything but him getting the respect and validation he deserves now.

And you're right; her LGBT and SA survivor fans deserved better than to have what could have been a safe space for them potentially put at risk because of her inaction. I'm sure she's an ally and I'm sure she's as disgusted by what happened to Josh as a child on a personal level as we all are, but she doesn't seem to have grasped that people are using her as a means and excuse and justification to say the most awful things about him.

Taylor apparently still needs to learn this lesson herself given her fandom's treatment of Jake Gyllenhaal recently. It's just been a frustrating affair all around and in some ways I feel sorry for all people who have become mixed up in it. But it is Josh above all others for me, and always will be, because even if he did genuinely break Olivia's heart that doesn't excuse what has happened to him this year because of her songs. And it would have been nice for her to have acknowledged this in some way.

[artistshadow]

*Part 2/2*

Go. Somewhere. With. That. Mess. I’m over it. I’m really over it. I’ve come to the conclusion that Olivia Rodrigo has 14-year old's as fans and nothing can change my mind. Josh, if by some chance you see this, keep up the good work, screw the haters, and keep being your realist self. To the ones in Olivia’s fanbase who are about that toxic lifestyle? Go to 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

P.s a couple quick things: He did not get famous from Olivia, he was already famous whether you like it or not. I should have mentioned this earlier, there’s a difference between telling your side of the story and gaslighting, look it up. Notice how he set up a message telling people to be kind and spread nothing but love when he drops new music, something I noticed that Olivia didn’t do but easily could’ve. And to the people thinking that he’s lying about Olivia not talking to him at work after Drivers License came out, you realize there’s a difference between work talk and outside work talk, she could have only talked to him when it was relating to work but outside didn’t like she did with the other cast members.

Ok, back to the ole Olivia Rodrigo hate train. But this time I’m going after her toxic ass fans instead. Because let’s be honest, they’ve been begging for someone to drag their asses for the last year alone. And it appears that I need to be the one to do it. So, recently Josh came out with three new songs, all of them bangers if you ask me and lots of other people and of course like a plague upon this earth, Olivia’s toxic ass fans had to come in and start shit that didn’t need to be started. Wanting to accuse him of gaslighting her (pulling a John Meyer) and even excusing him of lying about being a sexual assault survivor. Now, why they felt the need to insert their worthless two cents into Josh’s business is beyond me, but the way I see it, they need to shut up. After all the crap you pointless, useless, arrogant, self-righteous, pathetic, inbred creeps put him through all because he broke her heart, he deserves to say what he needs to say and have his moment. Y’all lost the right to say anything after he was hospitalized, mainly due to all the shit y’all pulled that was very damaging to his health. I mean death threats, really? So immature and childish but what else did I expect from Olivia’s fanbase. I'm honestly glad that I never jumped on the Olivia Rodrigo bandwagon, and instead chose to diss her and her crappy music, because I saved myself the trouble of becoming a stupid, mindless idiot. No offense, but why the Joshua hate? Huh? Why? What do you get out of it? I am going to say this as nicely as I can but unfortunately, I'm not in the mood to be nice right now so I’m just going to come out and say it: He. Has. Done. Nothing. Wrong. I don’t know where y’all get off accusing him of dumb shit that he hasn’t done, but go somewhere with all that bullshit. Despite what you believe, he’s not the Devil incarnate. He’s not gaslighting her in anyway. It’s obvious that a lot of you don’t know what the word gaslighting means and just looked it up for a quick second on Urban Dictionary and just ran with it. Cause trust me, it shows. Same thing with the word groomer. Y’all, I get that 18 and 16 are two years apart, it might seem weird but for the love of God I wouldn’t consider whatever “relationship” they had to be a grooming situation. If that’s the case then half of the people in high schools across the world are being groomed right now and have been in the past because that sound like a regular relationship in high school. Trust me, I know. I went to high school. There were 15-year old's dating 17-year old's and 16-year old's dating 18-year old's. No one ever said a thing. If you want a good example of grooming, look at Olivia’s new boyfriend, the 24-year-old who’s known her since she was 13! But it’s fine cause she’s legal now, right? But yet y’all get mad at people in their 40’s dating 19-year old's cause they’re still “teenagers?” You don’t get to have it both ways so pick one. And the fact y’all have the cheek, the nerve, the audacity, the gall to accuse Josh of lying about his SA is just disgusting. Why would he lie? Why? Why? Tell me why? What would his reason be for lying? Is he just that desperate? Has Olivia ruined him that badly? He came forward and told his story and even put it in one of his songs, something that he’s been struggling with accepting and you low-life's want to claim that he’s lying or that “Men can’t get raped” or that he deserved it because of what he did to Olivia. Go screw yourselves. You are horrible people who are never going to be happy in life meanwhile Josh is going to be flourishing, living his best life, making more money than any of you will see in your entire life, he can only go up from here. While the rest of you stay at the bottom where you belong like the gutter trash you were destined to be. There are some on Twitter who say the reason why none of the cast from HSMTMTS have said anything about his new music is because they recognize him as the problem. WHAT PROBLEM????? HOW IS HE THE PROBLEM WHEN TECHICALLY HE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING WRONG!!?? *Part 1/2*

Ok so I’m gonna be honest about something and I’m probably gonna get hate for this but I feel like it needs to be said: I honestly can’t really get mad at the teachers on gossip girl because honestly a lot of these students are a much of a-holes who definitely need a reality check. They think just because they’re young, rich, and beautiful that nothing can touch. Well sweeties, here’s a dose of the real world. Like you can tell these were the kids who never heard the word no nor did their parents ever whip their asses like they should have when they were younger. Like how you gonna talk to tour teachers like that? Insult, get them fired because they gave you the grade you probably deserved, make smug comments like you own them?? I wish my future children would act like this, cause trust me it will be a whole level of terror they gonna receive from me. Watch how fast I cut them down and fill them with the fear of God cause I don’t play that crap.😡 It’s like eve since the first episode it’s hard to feel bad for some of these kids cause they’re so freaking entitled like god go somewhere. At least the kids from the original gossip girl had some respect. This is how you know this is a tv show and not reality cause in reality schools wouldn’t stand for students treating their teachers this way. Someone would be expelled or suspended in an instant. And also, the last episode with Kate and Monet’s mom (speaking of which I can’t stand her. At first I hated both her and Luna but at least Luna redeem herself a bit. Like seriously Monet, can you just let Julien be happy? Is it so wrong that Julien wants to be a nice person???? ), when it came to the scene between them arguing I couldn’t really side with the mom. It just reminded how a lot of rich people can be. Not all of them but definitely some. The ones that look down on others in the middle and lower class, only care about themselves, and treat others as if they are replaceable. And don’t get me started on her COVID speech. You’re literally one of the reasons these teachers don’t get a bonus for the holidays, no wonder they hate your children. I would too. I literally couldn’t side with her the moment she said that crap. But Kate was definitely wrong when it came to Zoya’s dad (even if that SOB Davis is gonna screw him). Like girl back up. But still that’s just my opinion. If you don’t like it oh well. It’s just been bugging me this entire time. That’s just my one problem with the new show. Hopefully it will move forward better from here. Just so you know any rude or hateful comments might get deleted or reported. So tread carefully.✌🏼

Ok not gonna lie I love Supergirl, one of my favorites of the arrow verse shows but I’ve never really considered myself one of the Supergirl fandom because not gonna lie, y’all some toxic people. And I was already apart of one toxic fandom so I’m not doing it again. Y’all act the same way preschool children act. And I know that just by posting this I’m opening the door to a bunch of unnecessary hate from people who’s opinion means Jack shit to me cause I couldn’t give two shits about them or their opinion, but honestly, maybe it’s a good thing this show is coming to an end. It breaks my heart that it’s coming to an end but maybe it needs to happen for the good of everyone. Hell, I even consider myself a shipper of Supercorp but y’all are some over dramatic brats not gonna lie. God knows what you’re going to do with yourselves after the shows over. But it’s whatever I guess.
