#Y'KNOW??

[panevanbuckley]

a small note for the incoming 'reddit refugees' because i've seen multiple posts contradicting this:

reblogs are wonderful things. especially when it comes to work people have created because it's the most effective way to share it amongst this site. absolutely reblog posts. but LIKE them too!

when someone likes one of my dumb shitposts it's like receiving a pat on the back for my insanity. it's a subtle nod of appreciation as you pass each other on the street. i love it.

and i keep seeing people saying "don't like posts, that's annoying and serves no purpose to the non-existent algorithm" but that just dismisses all the people on here that love getting likes too? i have a handful of followers that spam like things i've posted/reblogged daily and i treasure those people dearly ✨️

#not everybody on here is posting fanart or fics or wanting to get 'popular' with loads of notes from random blogs #sometimes we want to post something stupid and have our followers be like ''we see you sweetie and we still love you'' #y'know?? #reddit blackout #reddit refugee #maybe this is just me though idk 🤷

and also, it is kind of hilarious that IWTV is centered so strongly around queer toxic vampire romance, and yet every promo shoot that we've gotten thus far has felt very... hmm. responsible?? yeah. responsible. stripes sweaters and beige. yum.

so you know how sometimes Sam and Cas just repeat each others' names? (for example)

what if this scene:

except the last thing Cas tries to say is 'Sam'?

#cas' last word is sam's name and jack's first word five minutes later is calling sam 'father' while looking for cas #y'know?? #sastiel

Props to you for the family tree. I'm going through it in my rewrite and slowly wanting to just throw the whole thing out. I'm having to make some characters orphans bc if I didn't the family tree would have even more incest.

You're an absolute chad

I don't wish untangling the family trees on my worst enemy, it's why I always make sure to hammer in that my trees are 100% free and open for everyone to use as a baseline, if they'd like.

@troutfur for example is gonna use my RiverClan family tree for a rewrite project they're working on, and they found it was an important plot point to make sure Shellheart had a named parent (as my fixes actually swap Rainflower and Shellheart's parentage, making Rain the Apple descendant, creating a detail that Maple was targeting Rain just as much as Crooked). So they're doing an edit and using Blackbee as Shellheart's parent

So you can take my trees and un-do parts of it (make Ivy and Dove kits of Birch/White again), rename cats to your liking (Oatbell doesn't fit? Change the name!), or add whatever new OCs you'd like! I make them for BB but it's always been my intention that they can be used as a fandom resource.

I'm trying to get over the hump of Clanmew Day on the 17th so it's out of the way, because I'm actually really excited to start WindClan. I can't wait to work with some of those Missing Kits-- Rustlepaw and Drizzlepaw were FANTASTIC names and I can't wait to give them a buff!

#And also Gorsetail's new friendship with Crowfeather compels me #I love little background details like that #Like the idea of Crowfeather blowing up any chance of being with his family again #realizing that's broken forever #but he's presented with an opportunity to rekindle a friendship #Y'know?? #And also picking who will be Birchfall's windclan friends #I like friendship man #bone babble

Honestly the reasons that a lot of takes on the importance of branching out your media tastes fall flat to me are:

1) Unless someone tells you outright and you can be confident they're not just fucking with you, you have no way to know what someone is into that they're not talking about on their blog, a tumblr blog is a very small slice of someone's life even if they use it a LOT,

2) When you tie it to widespread anti-intellectualism, you're asking someone to Personal Choices their way out of a systemic problem - mocking random TikTok teens personally for the EFFECT is not going to change the fact that US public schools teach "media literacy" as "okay remember that this is what these symbols mean according to the textbook authors cited on the standardized test and your own insight doesn't matter", for example, and

3) As annoying as it may be sometimes and as good as it is to prevent the worst disinformation and asshole behavior from spreading when possible...random people on the internet...well, have a right to be stupid.

Like, is encouraging people to branch out and see the importance of FIGHTING the systemic problem a good thing to do? Yes! Does that mean that people who prefer to seek and create deeper meaning in children's cartoons that they...probably KNOW wasn't intended, just for fun, and blog exclusively about that are personally responsible for shitty media literacy? No! Does blogging exclusively about that mean those people have no interests or lives outside of it? No! Does that mean that when you encounter true how-dare-you-say-we-piss-on-the-poor-level reading comprehension, it is a moral imperative to do a full hour-long clapback lest you just LET the BRAIN POISONING SPREAD rather than just blocking the clown? ABSOLUTELY not!

#media #fandom #internet culture #it's kind of a positive reinforcement vs. negative reinforcement thing #like i can bitch until the cows come home about people being RUDE about their overly involved readings of children's cartoons #or promoting PARANOID READINGS thereof as gospel #but just doing a deep dive into the watsonian extreme implications of a show for kids? #my buddy that shit is FUN as long as no one is being a giant asshole about it where is your sense of whimsy? #and telling someone #''hey if you like doing that then you may be the target audience for the stanley parable/the beginners guide/house of leaves/etc.'' #is a LOT more encouraging than #''if you dont finish this reading list youre rotting your brain and personally responsible for everything wrong with the world'' #Y'KNOW??

looked up some lyrics to see if I could pull a title for a fic I'm writing and ended up tearing up a little thinking about Ed Teach and In Corolla by the Mountain Goats.

#what if there was someone who was gonna come and get you #y'know?? #anyways the song is too sad for the fic #sorry john #it's going to be a Seabird lyric instead #my nonsense #tmg posting #our flag means death

do you ever love someone so much that you like. want to clip your hitbox into theirs? not even like sexually, just like romantically

#like i want us to be like #poorly rigged video game characters #and to just clip together closer and closer #y'know??

I think female rage and/or women’s rage is a useful term because it comes from a different place than male and/or men’s rage. It’s something we have only had the privilege of having without threat to our safety recently, yknow? It’s only been something not framed as shameful to a lot of women recently.

mmm yeah i am sleepy so i'm gonna see how coherently i can respond to this rn bc i appreciate that this seems 2 be sent in good faith!

so like. i do understand the sentiment behind people trying to elevate "female rage." i think it's the same sentiment behind people deifying femininity, which is basically people seeing a scale that's unfairly tipped and going "hey! we need to balance this scale!" and then the focus is suddenly on evening out the scale, instead of questioning why that scale even exists in the first place.

like. i understand that women have historically had their emotions, and particularly their anger, dismissed and belittled. however, i do not think that is an experience that is specific only to women. in almost any instance of oppressive dynamics, you'll get a situation where the group in power belittles or dismisses the anger + emotions of the group they're exploiting. just think about instances of racism and colonialism and whatever other -ism you want where groups of oppressed peoples are told, for whatever reason, that their rage towards their oppressors is invalid. and like--there are, in fact, instances where certain kinds of "female rage" have been on the side of the oppressors and have endangered the lives of others. in particular, i think of white "female rage" in the context of the u.s., where that "female rage" has historically endangered certain groups of men, and black men in particular. y'know? so to me this is less about anything inherent that has to do with gender, and more about power dynamics broadly--something that is going to vary with context and require a bit more nuance than just saying "men have always been allowed to be angry, and women haven't." because that just...isn't true.

now, do i think it can be useful and productive to look at the ways that women, in particular, have oftentimes had their anger dismissed and belittled by men? sure! but again, that conversation is going to look different in different contexts--white women have had their anger treated differently than black women, straight women have had their anger treated differently than gay women, rich women have had their anger treated differently than poor women....like, even in a conversation about gender, we've gotta take intersectionality into account. and that's why statements like "women's anger comes from a different place than men's anger" feel like an analysis grounded more in gender essentialism than anything else to me. because once you start to paint in such broad terms, the only thing ur differentiating there is "women" versus "men," which means if we start actually trying to analyze this the only thing to fall back on is gender, which means you have to define gender, which means relying on the assumption that gender is a pre-existing and clearly defined entity rather than a fluid social construct...and suddenly we have stumbled right back into gender essentialism!

and like. that's the issue with these posts i'm seeing. because i'm not seeing like politically grounded analysis that takes gender in context and examines specific ways in which groups of people have their emotions dismissed by those in power over them. i'm just seeing like....videos of women screaming or women being angry with people going "omg i love female rage!!!" and that is just strange to me! and feels more like playing into gender essentialism than anything else!!

cause i mean. the problem in the first place is the fact that people go "oh well there is male rage which is valid and female rage which is invalid," right? and so to me, the answer to that is to say "ummmm yeah actually rage is just rage. no such thing as 'male' and 'female' rage actually it is all just anger. if u wanna decide whether u think that anger is valid u need to look at it in context." but instead i am seeing people go "yeah there is male rage and female rage BUT the female rage is valid and the male rage is invalid!! HA! take that patriarchy!!" which. well i encourage anyone and everyone who hasn't to read this short piece by audre lorde, the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. in particular, she says:

For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.

and that is really the crux of what i'm getting at here. again, i understand where this impulse to go "yesss female rage!!" comes from. i really do. and i loooooove angry women in many, many contexts! but i do fear that the ~internet trend~ of it all is starting to just play back into gender essentialism, which really helps nobody in the long run! and again, brings me back to my inital question--what about these instances of rage, specifically, is female? like....genuinely. what makes it female rage, and not just....rage?

#like specifically in the marauders fandom i keep seeing this with posts about dorcas for some reason #people talking about how her snapping after marlene's death is 'female rage' #and i'm like???? #what about that is 'female'????? #that's just....rage. #anyone of any gender could snap in the same way.... #y'know?? #anyway #hopefully this made sense lol #ask

I feel like the difference between the book and show versions of Kate and Constance is best summed up by the state of their rooms. Because Book Constance has like. Moldy muffin wrappers and 600 socks scattered around the room, which Kate is always tirelessly attempting to tidy.

And I'm going to guess that Show Constance's room is immaculate based off the state of her hair, while I know in my heart that Show Kate's room looks like a tornado passed through it.

#like show kate's room is probably a disaster but she still knows exactly where everything is and can locate anything in half a second #y'know?? #reynie: kate can I borrow your scissors #kate: yeah they're under the scale model of mr benedict's house next to the list of tetherball drills #three inches to the left of the traffic cone (don't ask) #next to the cool bug that's made his home under my dresser. his name is gerald #can't miss it! #anyways I love both versions of both characters #kate wetherall #constance contraire #the mysterious benedict society #mbs disney

Rayla, confident in everything she does until the finish line, and Callum, uncertain until his “moment of truth” pans out. I’ve been thinking about how these insecurities and flaws follow them into S3 a lot lately. Both have moments of “redemption” in Rayla’s case and “confidence” in Callum’s before S3, with Rayla successfully saving Zym in 1x09 and choosing her path in 2x07, removing her hesitance, and culminating in her tackling Viren off the Pinnacle. For Callum, he learns to depend on his magic and believe more and more in his own capability, culminating in him jumping off the Pinnacle after her, not without his own doubts, but determined to make it work lest he lose her. 

In some ways, Callum has curbed his; he’s learned to rely on his magic and is confident that it’ll work out for him the way he wants by S4. But I wonder if he might feel a bit more like Rayla, now, that he choked at the finish line and let her slip through his fingers when it mattered the most. Meanwhile, Rayla is still trying to make up for how she ‘choked’ in 3x09 (likely in her mind by not fully dying alongside Viren and ensuring his death, somehow through that). Both she and Callum have had to ‘harden’ their hearts because of their separation, and I wonder if their reunion will help heal this continuing wound. For Callum, he’ll get a second chance at keeping Rayla safe and bringing her home, making up for that past ‘mistake’; for Rayla, she may be able to learn that even when she doesn’t pull through, even when she does fumble at the finish line, it doesn’t mean a loss of worth. She can make mistakes and still have value - and who better to help her learn that than Callum, when she taught him just the same in S2?

#rayllum #every separation is a link #parallels #s1 #1x04 #1x08 #arc 1 #mini meta #analysis series #analysis #kinda like how in 3x08 he's trying to get through to her that even if her parents were cowards #it doesn't mean she has to die for them #rayla learns she doesn't have to die bc they didn't make a mistake but even if they Had #y'know?? #anyway i love the emotional arcs and symmetry in this show so much #cube hostage exchange theory #predictions #but would also tie into an arc where rayla goes back of her own accord to ask for help tbh #tdp #the dragon prince
