[femme-malewife]

Seeing something you really don’t want to remember and just going:

i am wide awake thinking about that post canon jb au again when I should be sleeping …!!! such is the nature of the jbrainrot…

#the whole setting is jb hanging out in the rock post war #and tyrion became lord of the westerlands / the rock is his but he’s off doing stuff in kingslanding and jaime is just filling in for him #atm . but after tyrion comes back his original plan WAS he’ll get married to brienne right away and they can move back to tarth or be #travelling hedge knights together or whatever brienne wants to do he’s down for it. but the important thing is that he wants to stay with #her .. so he’s using the time they have together currently to court her bc she deserves that at least !! #so jaime goes off trying to court and woo brienne but she just thinks they’re hanging out bc they got relatively close in the war #so jaime being touchy feely isn’t anything new. jaime making innuendos and being kinda flirty isn’t anything new either #but this time he means it LOL he’s like I want to kiss you SO badly and brienne will be like lol silly jaime (: #I was also thinking they’d help rebuild lannisport just bc it’s a time for healing now and it would be good for the people to get to know #jaime and the lannisters in general bc of how they would just used to sit high above the rock looking down on everyone #but now jaime is like. actively helping and being known and being with the people rather than just being that absent distant lord #also he’s thinking he might as well try and foster some relationship with the commoners to his house bc it’s for tyrion anyway #so he’s off doing that and brienne is tagging along bc she does not want to go home yet #she wants to stay with him and she’s helping out as an excuse to stay a little longer but she doesn’t exactly want to leave him #but how do you tell someone that and ignore the big glaring part that she’s actually in love with him and the fact that they both survived #the war is getting her hopeful???? u want her to admit that?? like a normal person??? no..!! #so she’s just staying and helping out bc a) it’s the sensible thing to do b) so she can bask on the sun that is Jaime Lannister #for like a few more days. weeks. maybe a month bc the weather is soooo bad in the stormlands rn 🙄😳 #anyway jb hanging out! and everything is going well and good but jaime is now getting popular w the people and he’s also looking quite #rugged and handsome post war now that he’s thirty flirty and thriving and he also has a new scar across his lip that makes his #smirks even more ! rogueish … ! and he looks quite nice with the greying hair 👀 so now there’s gossips around him #not to mention he’s single too and I think if you were one of the heroes who helped win the war they’ll forget the kingslaying #man with no honor business so lo and behold brienne eavesdrops a group of ladies bc she’s a chismosa at heart and they’re talking about a #potential marriage for a lord lannister (!!!) and there’s going to be a big tourney held in Kingslanding for it (!!!) #and brienne remembers jaime mentioning the ought to go to Kingslanding in the next few weeks (!!!) and now she’s remembering jaime IS a #lord though not theee lord of the westerlands STILL a lord from one of the seven houses and he’s single and very eligible for marriage rn #and now she’s realising everything is returning back the way it was before the war where society rules matters and she has her own role as #now the evenstar bc rip selwyn and jaime has his own role too and the court is a whole different battlefield #one that she isn’t equipped in and even though she had found some new confidence in herself bc killing a bunch of ice invisible zombies #with your own magic sword will do that for you she doesn’t think (and she’s being objective not negative) she stands a chance in THAT

[phvnthom]

#i used to want to meet people who liked the same shit i did...... but fandom is literally the worst thing ever created #it's so limited and sanitized and what's popular most times doesn't align with my tastes or it's just plain bad #HCs this— aggravating fanart here 😮‍💨 #interests are only best when you geek over it with like 2-5 people max who ALSO like it in almost the same exact ways you do #not too much more than you not too little or else it just gets so fucking tedious and annoying— like shut the fuck up damn #either way fandom is a can of worms and it's mostly rancid #yes this is about miles yes this is about how spider-verse has spilled over into everything and i hate it #i wish that movie was never created and it went away forever

whats ur beef?

My favourite manga lost the plot so now i cope by being a hater 👍

#long answer is i have beef with the direction that the bsd manga has taken #it only superficially resembles the beloved mystery and character-driven detective agency story with atsushi as the main character #i'm dissatisfied with major developments like killing off fyodor and reviving him and pulling this #PSYCH his ability wasn't what you thought it was. with zero foreshadowing or buildup #because the manga has become full of marvel-movie type plot twists that serve little to no coherent narrative purpose except shock factor #it cheapens the story and it cheapens the development of characters and it cheapens the reader's experience #because we can't speculate and we can't draw connections and parallels and engage with the story on a deeper level #what connections there exist (for example between manga and anime) are shoehorned in after the popularity of the anime and #specific characters (e.g. fyodor who was shoehorned into untold origins in the anime) and mostly the characters who bring in money #i.e. fyodor and dazai and chuuya and their relationships especially soukoku. all this at the expense of characters like atsushi or #the majority of the female cast. who have been MIA for god knows how long and who were barely given frame each in the anime's finale #bsd treatment of its female characters has been subpar shounen level at best and now they're completely sidelined #as with most of the original cast and the original themes of the story. in fact i struggle to identify a coherent overarching theme #for the current arc. other than military action scifi movie go brrrr #compared to early arcs where each chapter had a meaningful message to say about the importance of living and what it means to stay alive and #keep going and why we are fighting to keep important people in our lives and to keep ourselves alive #and what it means to belong somewhere and what it means to be good or bad and how your place of belonging affects that #as a long term reader i just feel betrayed and disappointed. by how a story with complex and vibrant characters has become another #generic cashgrab shounen. and i mourn for the lost potential it had and everything the series has build up #only to have plot points abandoned at a whim. #so that's why i'm a hater now 👍 #i know a lot of my bsd mutuals are still big fans of bsd so i try not to be obnoxious about it and mainly keep it comedic #like i don't actually hate the manga. because it's so important to me. and i respect the creators of the manga and anime #but it's frustrating to watch a train wreck in real time. and it's my blog i can hate what i want 😔 #sorry if there are typos i wrote all this on mobile and can't edit the tags. i didn't wanna put any of this in the main post

[witchescollection]

coming back from my retirement to just pipe on here and remind y'all that a lot of witchblr is generic and rooted in consumerist culture.

example: you do not need mass-produced correspondences tables that some other witch (no matter how reputable) put together. look at the damn thing. you already have your own associations with colours, shapes, etc. just write down you think the rock is pretty and it's for when you need an outside look bc it's sky blue (which reminds you of when you look up at the sky and feel like an ant).

another example: no one can tell you how to work with your deities. look up some academic sources, read some ancient literature, sure. but also just do it. stop sitting around waiting for someone tell you it's okay to give this deity chocolate - it's your craft for fuck's sake.

i'm not saying everything on tumblr is bullshit, but most of it is people taking what works for them and then using that to write a guidebook. you are the witch. you are at the centre of your craft. it's your ancestors, your gods, your tools, and your life.

decide what you want for yourself.

#the retirement is a joke #sort of #but as someone who got semi-popular reposting witchblr stuff on here when i was a baby witch #i know firsthand that this stuff is not going to give you a deep understanding of your craft #it literally took me deleting tumblr for a year and chatting to some elder pagans to realise i disagreed with pretty much everything #that social media witches tend to say #not bc its bad #but bc it isn't me #witchcraft #witchblr #wicca #pagan #witch #hearth witch

i can't STAND HIM lmao

TRANSCRIPT:

Etho: now, the key to cooking a steak—this is the part a lot of people get wrong. all right? so pay attention, this is most important: you gotta make sure the pan is hot. if it's cold, you've messed up, y-you-you've done something wrong. you gotta make sure your fire's going or whatever—your stove is on—uh, but don't just touch the pan to figure out if it's hot! okay? big mistake. don't do it. nuh-uh, nope. that's—that's a rookie mistake, right there. what you want to do is go ask a friend, get them to touch it for you and then you can figure out if it's hot that way.

END TRANSCRIPT.

#ethoslab #ethoslab spoilers #yes i did drop everything to rewind. clip this moment. edit it. upload it. #i can't stand him. i want to squish his fucking bastard face so bad. #please. my father's name is mr. slab. call me etho. #vonswayenthusiast.mp4 #transcribed #mcyt #idr all my tags here y'all go #popular? i know about popular.

Marchil March 2024!

A ship week event for the Dungeon Meshi pairing Marcille x Chilchuck! It will run from Monday the 18th to Sunday the 24th, in about a week.

The themes for the days are:

Explosion / healing

Fairytale / role swap au

Fashion / modern au

Hair / race or species swap au

Teasing / genderbend au

Gifts / date

Free prompt / food

You’re welcome and encouraged to put a twist on the prompts, pick either of them on any given day or mesh them both into the same piece, stick to them as much or as little as you want. For example, the race swap prompt mainly refers to elves, half-foots, etc, but you could just as well use it to draw them as cats if you’d like! There are essentially no rules, this isn’t inktober and there’s no pressure, feel also free to make things for it in advance rather than day to day. This is a ship week, but feel free to depict them in a platonic or queerplatonic way rather than romantic as well! This week is to celebrate them as a duo, and every work is welcomed: fanart, writing, edits, anything. Join the festivities!

Tag your posts for it "marchil march 2024"!

I’ll be hosting it on the @feedmarchil blog, I intend to reblog every piece made for the week there. Ty to Pupucachi for heavily inspiring the first ad card!

#Dungeon meshi #Delicious in dungeon #marchil #More people than i expected are saying they wanna try and participate! Joy~ #And just to be clear marchil is getting a ship week not bc it’s popular but bc i’m stepping up #Repeat after me the lesson that ao3 marchil is teaching us is that continued hard work does build up into something #Some ship positivity in these trying times #Marchil march 2024 #Marchil ship week #Kaboom kerchack #Gonna make a reminder post the day just before it starts too #If there are prompts you’d have liked feel free to send me some and I’ll consider for future events. There are just so many good ones #If u wanna participate everything is optional tbh. Idk do whatev u want we’re here to have fun. Gdbdgdg I’m a bad event host

(heartbreak high) that one babysitting format meme

but my fun lil spin on it

#heartbreak high #fyp #netflix #netflix heartbreak high #ok ill explain #quinni is the best out of all of them #makes schedules and everything; takes job very serious #amerie is an older sibling she's been babysitting for free #malakai probably is like “this is the next generation-- we have to raise them right” #ant kind of just lets the kids play fortnite with him #missy is rlly popular with the kids she babysits. the parents not so much #cash is scared of the kids. is genuinely afraid they'll shatter like a vase if he drops them from too high #jojo is the definition of wine aunt #harper gives older brother core energy but sister if that makes sense #also is shown to radiate big sis energy #dusty probably tries to act cool but probably just comes off lame #darren doesnt like kids. plain and simple #woodsy gives off strict elderly babysitter energy IM SORRY #sasha is just rlly lame. probably makes kids go to bed rlly early so she can just goof off so comes off as mean #fuck chook #spider is self explanatory #cash's nan may seem jarring but im not sure she seems like the type to secretly be a bad influence

I don’t have the brainpower to elaborate on this the way it deserves but the Toy Soldier is a brilliant parody of militarism and Dapper Steampunk Englishness that really doesn’t get enough credit

#the mechanisms #the mechs #the toy soldier #as I’ve been archiving I found a Jessica law tweet about bad retrofuturism #the kind of thing I like to refer to as taking the punk out of steampunk #and she mentions ts’s manner is very similar to what she’s criticizing #and acknowledges it does murder which that character archetype doesn’t generally #but she didn’t get into how. it does murder. it follows any order. it loves battle and is posh and knows everything about tea etiquette. #and those are bad!! it’s not noble or gallant it’s a very polite war criminal!! #it’s that genteel English officer taken seriously and with the implications of its violence #which is a wonderful pushback to the kind of popular ‘steampunk’ that’s just romanticized neovictorianism

[themoonking]

it’s not actually that weird that people are saying “harry potter was never good, actually” after joanne went full mask off, and no it doesn’t mean that we all secretly think harry potter is amazing but don’t want to admit it. it’s pretty simple actually: most people read harry potter when they were children, when they hadn’t read a lot of other books and therefore didn’t have a lot to compare it to. then every time you reread it as an adult, you’re looking through pretty hefty nostalgia goggles. then, after you’ve realized that joanne is a violent bigot that wants you and / or people you love and care for dead, those goggles are broken and when you attempt to look at hp again you’re more likely to see it’s flaws. it’s not rocket science.

#like don't get me wrong people have pointed out stuff wrong with hp since the beginning #both the bigoted aspects of it and the simply bad writing aspects #but it was in bits and pieces and far less vocal #whereas now you see its more 'wait a minute the entire series is lowkey shit' and is a lot more people saying it #also for people like myself #you read a lot of fanfiction and saw a lot of fan discussion and so whenever you reread harry potter #that stuff was in the back of your mind whether you meant it to be or not #and it maybe caused you to think that what you were reading was a lot deeper than it actually was #because you were taking all this fan content as canon even if nothing of what you were actually read in the text suggested it #but then when everything fell apart you hadn't even thought about harry potter for a good while and that fan stuff wasn't in your head #and you could see the text for the mess it was without the bolstering and hole filling that fandom had done for it #i speak #anti jk rowling #and there's also the point that when harry potter was at its peak popularity the entire world was reinforcing the fact that this is amazing #so you're less inclined to find flaws because somethign this big cant POSSIBLY be bad

[cringesnail]

The thing about "not making a character's lore/arc about another character" is that we all follow a limited number of streams so when we hear about some events we'll approach them through the POVs we watch

So it's a bit inevitable. We all, at one point or another, make a character's lore about another character.

I agree that it becomes annoying when a character is almost erased from their own narrative but in reasonable doses I actually really like this trend. Like when people made connections between Baghera's childhood and Jaiden's. I don't watch Jaiden often so I was not really up to date with her lore and it's really interesting to see this perspective and parallel

#qsmp #just to say. i love when people make connections i love when everything is interconnected #and it's not necessarily a bad thing #but YES when you're a viewer of a less popular CC #it's kinda annoying how no one talks about your cubito outside of their relationships with others

whatever i’ll say it.‏‏‎ ‎red‏‏‎ ‎white‏‏‎ ‎and‏‏‎ ‎royal‏‏‎ ‎blue‏‏‎ ‎is a movie for liberals and i don’t trust anyone who claims to be left of that and adores it. there is nothing wrong with enjoying meaningless cute fluff once in a while. admittedly i read more cheesy lesbian romcoms than my goodreads would reflect. but this is a movie about topics (the american presidency and the british monarchy) that cannot be stripped of their deeply, NOTORIOUSLY violent roots. you cannot make a movie about two gay boys falling in love cute when one of them is one step removed from the person in charge of nuclear launch codes and the other one is one step removed from someone who is actively still upholding colonialism. you cannot throw in a few buzzwords to make your characters hip with the times and pretend like that makes it fine. if you made jokes about the queen dying but loved the book or the movie you missed the entire point.

also, sorry but‏‏‎ ‎casey‏‏‎ ‎mcquiston‏‏‎ ‎isn’t even a good writer. one‏‏‎ ‎last‏‏‎ ‎stop was trying way too hard. and the mc's mom was a Hashtag Good Cop so they failed to beat the liberal allegations.

#and the fucking line everyone loves is. #’history ‏‏‎ ‎ ‏‏‎huh? bet ‏‏‎ ‎we could make some.’ #that’s nothing. that’s a ‏‏‎ ‎taylor ‏‏‎ ‎swift lyric. i mean that in a bad way. #this book is third on my list of most despised popular books. #behind you know what and everything sarah j maas has ever written. #textfile

random ass lps popular thought but i literally dont understand people who treat brooke like shes innocent solely because her mom is shitty??? like to me it seems like a very clear "villain origin story that explains why they are the way they are but doesn't redeem them". her mom is neglectful and abusive, yes, but a lot of her actions through the series are like. completely divorced from that conflict. brooke may be taking ques from her mom with the whole cutthroat social attitude she has going on but her actions are still very much her own, like she only got the baseline ideology of "you need to stay at the top to have any worth" from her mom and everything else (the manipulation, cheating, blackmail, etc) is all stuff she chose to do herself to attain that goal. and even THEN she's doing it all completely to serve herself, her mom couldn't care less about her daughter's status in high school. brooke probably knows this and is doing whatever she can to derive self worth from her social status alone because she's all too aware that her mom just doesnt give a shit. so everything she does is still on her

i guess a more succinct way of putting it is like. brooke's backstory is more of a frame for her mindset than something you should feel sorry for her over, yknow? because as badly as she's treated at home she turns around and treats everyone around her the exact same way. abuse is cyclical and it's crystal clear that brooke is willingly continuing the cycle because she's obsessed with the power it gives her, power that was stolen from her that she's now stealing from others. and the kicker here is she HAD chances to make positive changes, both with her dad treating her nicer while he was still alive which establishes that she does know how to be kind as well as savy being willing to reconnect and give her genuine friendship again which could've helped her out of this toxic mindset. but she threw both of those chances away because she's so power hungry and is CHOOSING to continue acting like her mom because that's what gets her the most power/worth.

she needs help, but she doesn't deserve forgiveness or sympathy because of all the heinous shit she's done. also, you can't help someone unless they accept the help and/or are willing to change, and we've seen that brooke is NOT willing to change at all. idk man i just dont think we should be so fast to absolve her of accountability when she hasn't shown any willingness to overcome her circumstances. like not even "oh i want to change but things are so hard" no she doesn't want to change full stop. shes stuck in her mindset and that's her downfall and that's the point

anyway brooke would fucking love marina and the diamonds. unrelated to everything

#meow meows #lps popular #brooklyn hayes #and before u come for me for ''hating abuse victims'' or whatever: i'm literally a victim of similar abuse to brooke herself #it's why i get so heated about this tbh #i've been down a similar road and it boggles my mind how she can continue the cycle so effortlessly the way she does #i know from experience that you can be a good person or at least TRY to be a good person despite your circumstances #so the fact that she doesn't even think about trying to do that and perpetuates the cycle instead is super interesting to me #god lps popular was SO ahead of its time in every way i salute sophiegtv #i feel like flattening brooke to ''sympathetic abuse victim'' takes away everything that makes her interesting #like u do realize victims can be bad people too right. we're regular people and surprise regular people range from kindhearted to shitheads #and that doesnt take away from what happened to us #both things can coexist. see nuance

Stansas stalk you and are to cowards and weak to confront you

https://www.tumblr.com/littl3bird/716524376984518656/ecce-felix-exactly?source=share

This is genuinely so hilarious, I can't believe I already have my own fanclub 😭. You blocked me and took screenshots of my post cause you were too nervous to interact with me awwwww. I would love to know what you think a character being a "girlboss" means, cause right now the definition just sits at being a "key female character" @littl3bird .

I also love how they're proving my point! They're acting as though liking Sansa and other "feminine" female characters makes them more feminist than liking "girboss/NLOG" characters like Dany and Arya. Cause we all know being a feminist is about sorting women into (incorrect) categories and deciding which are the better examples of womanhood! Never mind that calling Arya and Dany characters who fulfill "masculine power fantasies" is, in fact, misogyny. Meanwhile, their support of those characters is shallow as hell and only done so they can use them as props. It's so hilarious that they clearly think of Arya and Dany are lesser female characters and that they're in the right for doing so. They can't even pretend to be fair or unbiased for two seconds. They literally have in their bio that they don't want you interacting with them if you think Arya and Dany could get along or like them more than Sansa!

They treat people liking both Dany and Arya as some misogynistic conspiracy against "feminine" female characters. I didn't even say anything about not liking Sansa in that post, or anywhere on my blog. I don't have any "anti Sansa" posts anywhere and all my issues are specifically with her toxic fans who act like this...yet I'm called a misogynist because I don't support the fanon version of Sansa they've made. Guess what? Disliking Sansa doesn't make someone a misogynist and acting as though she's the sole victim of misogyny in this fandom isn't going to make her more important in the story. If you really defended female characters from misogyny, then why is it that you're fine with Dany and Arya being put down to prop up Sansa? We all know the real answer even if they don't want to admit it 🤷🏾‍♀️. They couldn't care less about misogyny, it's just become a convenient tool to use to attack fans of female characters who aren't Sansa. Notice how they don't ever pull this same shit with fans of male characters?

#ask #anon #anti sansa stans #anti jonsa stans #they ship Jonsa and don't think Jon would like Dany everything they say is automatically irrelevant #I love when these dumbasses prove my point! #I said they treat liking Dany and Arya as a conspiracy and they ran to say that we only like them because they're /nlog/ I love it #oh they want Sansa to be more important and popular then she is so bad 😭 #they have to come up with all these excuses and everything else to hide the jealousy it's just sad #/people like them because they act like men/ and that's nowhere in Dany or Arya's writing but I guess it makes them feel better
