#IDK it's like

tbh i don't find the "katherine howard was a useless child with no autonomy played like a cheap kazoo by her uncle and the king" narrative any more useful than "katherine howard was a nasty little slut who was so mean to poor little henry viii and deserved everything she got"... mind you, katherine howard was a young woman manipulated by her family to benefit the howards' position in court, but it is possible to understand katherine howard as both a victim of a vindictive and cruel king and an uncaring family and at the same time a young adult with the capacity to make choices of her own. which she did! she was sixteen at the absolute youngest (and twenty-one at the absolute oldest, but realistically probably somewhere in the middle), which, while not necessarily making her an adult, certainly made her more than a helpless little girl who didn't have a clue what she was doing. i think it's important to challenge the commonly-held and obviously incredibly cruel assumption that she was just some stupid slut who had it coming, but i worry that some portrayals of her go too far in the opposite direction. it is essential to analyse historical figures as the living, breathing, feeling people that they were, and avoid making caricatures of them as much as possible; and if you ask me, both these different images of katherine howard fail to truly reckon with her character

#idk it's like #people either want her to be like how they picture anne boleyn #a woman in her 20s/30s #or a young elizabeth i #a thirteen y/o who obviously would not be capable of the same maturity as an adult #(both of which lend themselves to different types of incredibly misogynistic slut-shaming & victim-blaming) #but like. kh was a young adult. that's not the same as either of those things #idk if i'm explaining myself well #i just have a lot of thoughts about hviii's wives (for lack of a better coherent term) #and how the general public/some historians perceive them

i always like it when i get a reminder that delaware exists 

#they SAY it's a state #but is it really? #but yeah i95 in delaware is supposedly shut down due to a police pursuit #and i'm like #first of all #i drove on i95 through delaware and it was sooooo foggy #that i'm not convinced i was actually in delaware and actually just driving through a mass #hallucination or something by the american people #SECOND OF ALL #you're trying to tell me delaware exists and now also there's /crime/??? #[i'm being facetious of course there's crime] #but like #IDK IT'S LIKE #ho hum i forget that delaware is a real state #and then all of a sudden BAM POLICE PURSUIT #but for real #anyone who lives in the northeast #tell me have you ever seen a delaware license plate? #can you even tell me what it looks like without googling it? #*points at a map* delaware explainnnnn #[this is all a joke btw i know delaware is a state][A STATE OF /WHAT/??? *dramatic gopher*]

idk it’s like most christians are just people going through life wanting to be kind and yes, there are fucked up institutions, but that speaks more to the nature of people and corruption and using religion as a justification rather than like an inherent failing in christianity and christians themselves

#christianity #idk it's like #when jesus was like 'spread the word' this is not what he meant #he was like: try being kind to other people! #so many christians for some reason: we are about to be this man's worst ever PR team #one of my favourite scenes is when lydia logics herself into accepting elena because THAT #is catholicism done properly #you tell me the man who welcomed in the tax collector and the social outcasts would hate queer people? fuck no #you know what I'm publishing the parable of the good samiritan

i mean to be quite fair with you (and maybe this is just me being naïve) i don't see the point in making a joke like that, that's why i believe he was hacked. what's the punchline of saying i'm gay out of nowhere? it could be an inside joke but still for me it doesn't make sense. however, puyol replying to the tweet like that, i see it very disrespectful. i just take into account that this is the football world we're talking about and there is rampant homophobia everywhere. i'm not that concerned about the tweet itself but the response to that, not only from players but fans in general

#idk it's like #againt we're talking about a football player and making a statement like that is not a light thing even as a joke #i don't know much about the man but i don't know if he would tweet that even as a joke knowing the repercussions it could have #as we've seen

speaking of, with the nightmares, the other night I had a weird experience

the nightmare didn't involve me, it was.. perverting a children's show that is incredibly comforting to me.. transferring my trauma onto the child characters in it.. dream me found this so disturbing that she started constructing an entire other dream that had nothing to do with that.. spent the whole time wrestling attention away from the nightmare onto this other dream.. woke up EXHAUSTED

#ed mumbles #thats the thing #nightmares used to be different for me #the last few months dream me has been forcing in some level of control #even when she 'decides' to let the nightmare happen #i just have this feeling in the dream that i could stop it #and sometimes i do have control even in the narrative #but not in the way in which my role is changed to being the abuser #bc thats almost worse #no... #im still the victim.. but i am conscious of having autonomy #which is nrw #and sometimes i am not the victim #i am an adult who is trying to help the victim #idk it's like #bad still to have these dreams #but something is changing in there #i think thats why ive been so much worse lately #bc i have been transitioning into the next level of recovery yknow

yknow i knew it would be a long shot to get loki and yet. im still a little bitter about it.

#thor: love and thunder #loki laufeyson #marvel #idk it's like #more and more im starting to fear that the kang the conqueror storyline isnt the next big bad in the MCU #obviously it SHOULD BE because what a huge plot and villain that would be #finally -- something bigger than thanos #but when it feels like they're not connecting loki to anything else besides the existence of a multiverse... #and when doctor strange MoM didnt even include any mention of that......... #just starting to get annoyed #panda posts

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

#making this at 2 am was like ​top 10 autism moment for me #this is helping me make sense of so many things hopefully it helps someone else too idk #user macdenlover drops badly drawn infographic media literacy rates skyrocket theres world peace #anyways #for sunny 1.5 is the sweet spot for me. a sexy medium rare if u will #but it completely depends on the piece of media #with supernatural i was a 2.5 on a good day.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

[spooksier]

young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can

#text! #idk the trend of twt artists pretending to be stealing their own art to get engagement rly broke my heart #like nooo!!! the joy of art is in the making!!!!! its not in the reaction!!

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#i love reading your examples! however next person to be like um actually this exists?? it’s on sight #i know it exists. i think it’s fun. that’s why i think more people should do it. #sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul #and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd. #i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist! #something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content #idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently #mine

[qrowpilled]

hate when you find a character whose so infuriatingly Your Type that its embarrassing like yeahg no one is gonna be surprised when i announce this is my new Guy Of The Month

#shush jesse #EDIT from future me: this post was about astarion but im fully a galegirl (gendy neutch) now so idk what that says #he's also my type for what its worth #this post abt astarion #hes just so painfully on brand for me #i know so little about him though is the thing but i still feel insane #but i cant play the game and i dont want to watch anyone play it and i dont want spoilers #so like.....secondhand blorbo right now

[stuckinapril]

I could get over anything as long as I have something new to be obsessed with

#without a silly book or show or comfort movie idk where I would be genuinely #like I’d rather just be entirely consumed rather than self aware today thanks

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

(You can hear it here)

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.

#i love replaying certain scenes (usually screams) to see how they nailed it in other dubs #ive done it with Chilchuck & Mickbell screams because they're the funniest ones #give it a shot if you can #its really funny to hear certain character voices in other languages #for example. brazilian portuguesse gave both mickbell and chilchuck un-childlike voices (in japaneese both sound like little childs) #and they reused Chilchuck's japaneese screams for most of the other languages because he is so high-pitched and full of terror that it work #dungeon meshi #chilchuck #chilchuck tims #dunmeshi #delicious in dungeon #senshi #senshi of izganda #senshi dungeon meshi #idk how do you people screen record the episodes #if i knew how to i would put the shots here #my shit #thanks to the one that made the clip on Chil's scream im in love here <3

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

#talk tag #IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME #(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still) #(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'') #GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!! #one time i saw that a ​person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi. #they are TWIN BROTHERS. #not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this. #just horrible #also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

The creator of squid game spending years trying to get his point across that exploiting the poor and desperate for entertainment is bad watching netflix make a spin off of his fictional series where they in fact exploit the poor for entertainment

#me watching the single father of 2 cry because his little candy brokw and now he wont be able to feed his kids #like. idk man
