I will always side eye someone who is uncomfortable w the unabashed confidence of somebody else. And when I say confidence, I mean true, unadulterated confidence—not insecurity masquerading as it (aka conceit). Tho tbh I sometimes raise an eyebrow at what others find to be conceit these days, bc it seems like it’s literally everything. You find yourself really attractive? Conceit. You find yourself really capable of a certain task? Conceit. You think you’re worth the high standards you set? Conceit. It’s also no coincidence that it’s women who’re always encouraged to be “humble,” whereas men who are openly confident are found attractive. Just makes you wonder

#i am genuinely confused as to why women are always encouraged to be quietly confident? #why can’t women be open w themselves about what they’re worth and what they deserve? #it may seem like women are encouraged to have this view but outside niche circles i don’t think this is mainstream thinking just yet

Genuine question: where has this idea come from that Tim, Oliver and Lou have insinuated that Buck and Tommy are gonna end relatively quickly come from? (Like at the end of the season) Because apart from Lou saying he was asked for an initial four eps, Tim said after 7x04 ‘that it’s an entry level relationship which only time can tell where it goes’, whilst also saying he’s writing it like a romcom and everything Oliver has said more recently points to him wanting to explore it more and them continuing to build the relationship on and off screen. And i doubt they’re breaking up in 7x06 because a) there won’t be time, b) Buck is coming out and c) Lou has said they’re gonna be ‘so cute’. Also Ik they can’t stay in the honey moon phase forever but I don’t think enough time will pass between now and the end of the season for them to lose how smitten they are about one another. So I’m just a tad confused why some people are so certain they’ll be done by the seasons end.

#BuckTommy #just genuinely asking because I’ve read every interview #I haven’t cherry picked bits to fit my agenda I don’t think #and like none of it points to it ending yet at all #Leah rambles #I think it’s more common on twitter this idea #where they say Buck’s gonna have a feeling realisation #but he’s gone for Tommy rn #and that would just play into the stereotypes Oliver doesn’t want

as true as the jokes about “everyone wants to rewrite ninjago” are i feel like smthn people forget when complaining about the inconsistencies of the show is that…. it wasn’t planned? it’s not like most other animated shows lately - it didn’t start with a deeply fleshed out world or a meticulously designed pitch bible with grandiose plans for a long-term story or character arcs. the ninja don’t originally get their powers from heredity because they weren’t hereditary powers yet. the magic system doesn’t make sense bc they literally just made it up as they went! they go back and forth on stuff like whether non-elementals can learn spinjitzu bc it’s a collaborative piece of media made by people with vastly different levels of control over the story, the animation, the sets, etc. that varied over the course of the series. it’s totally understandable and exciting to see so many people reworking the early stuff with the lore and logic later seasons introduced but i personally feel that… if you’re doing that. you need to understand why the show is like that instead of writing it off as being bad and shitty. it was working with what it had. it’s only what it is now because of that awkward troubleshooting phase, not in spite of it

#ninjago #text✨ #you’re 100% allowed to criticize the show but i keep seeing people complain about the inconsistencies about like. their parents giving them #their powers especially. like yeah cool that wasn’t a thing yet? they have different origins than the non-core elementals #because in the real world that idea hadn’t even crossed their minds yet! the original story was a more traditional fantasy narrative of #normal people rising to the occasion and *gaining* powers through their own feats. the fact that they changed it later doesn’t mean #it was necessarily bad to begin with or that it’s something that should be mocked #idk just. there’s a lot of hostility in some circles about this stuff and it makes me kinda sad. enjoy the complexity of production and how #series adapt over time. it’s part of why the show is so interesting to me #that essay i wrote had a whole bit juxtaposing the attitudes about technology in rebooted and prime empire and how they reflect greater #cultural trends between 2013 and 2021. it’s SUPER interesting and yet a lot of people only talk about it to make fun of how ‘bad’ it was :( #this isnt to say i don’t enjoy some of the retcons. the changes to their meetings with wu in s8 are genuinely really interesting! i love the #changes to cole’s backstory. i think his mom makes him in the early seasons even better! i’m just saying.. be respectful? nobody *tries* to #make a bad show. ages and ages of time and dedication were put into what ends up on your screens. it’s all human love and creation. #as goofy as it is #okay sry got all anthropology there but hm. been thinking about this for a while. apologies for being the local annoying early seasons fan

I’ll just say I never understood why so many fans say that other fans give Grian “too much trauma”. Like. I feel like you could say that about literally any of the life series characters yet I ONLY really see it said about Grian? Why are we not allowed to give Grian Specifically any trauma. I don’t get it.

#trafficblr #life series #life series grian #like okay. I know he’s like. pretty silly and has fun in the series. so maybe ‘trauma’ makes him look ooc? #but once again I FEEL LIKE YOU COULD SAY THAT ABOUT A LOT OF CHARACTERS…. #like only a few ppl tend to RP the ‘trauma’ more and yet everyone EXCEPT Grian is ‘ooc’ for being portrayed like that? #*isn’t sorry I effed up my wording there meant the opposite. #even tho I’d argue he does have some scenes that feel like… idk… giving him trauma makes sense? #I know this is somehow related to watcher lore. but like… the watcher stuff can be traumatic. if u don’t like it just say u don’t like #watcher grian. why do you have to say u don’t like TRAUMATIZED grian when you MEAN you don’t like WATCHER grian. #you don’t like watcher grian because you think angst makes him OOC? I have no idea what goes on in ur brain genuinely. #DID YOU KNOW PEOPLE CAN MAKE ANGST AND STILL SEE THE CHARACTER AS PRETTY HAPPY. CUZ IRL TRAUMATIZED PPL CAN STILL BE HAPPY. #‘oh but they only show him being angsty and traumatized’ YOURE LOOKING AT THEIR ANGST ART IDK WHAT YOU EXPECTED.

uh-oh, it’s yet another “you are a monster, but you see me and love me for all my faults, and i can’t help but feel the same” dynamic, we have no choice but to go insane over it

#my art #my doodles #i am sick and cranky and my brain is fried cause temperature and so i am just drawing whatever comes to my head #despite having at least a few other ideas unfinished #the first episode of this show was great hope the rest are just as good #the actors are absolutely fantastic and visually it’s incredible #the sets are gorgeous the costumes are so nice (no idea how historically accurate they are though #would love to read about it if anyone analyses that) #also it makes me want to rewatch ravenous (1999) but i don’t think i am ready to fall into that hole again just yet #but it feels like this show is going to be so much fun! and the actors seem to be genuinely exited and invested in it #i always love seeing it #interview with the vampire #iwtv #iwtv amc #lestat de lioncourt #louis de pointe du lac #loustat #is that the tag? #it is now

what’s so funny is this spirituality drama was started by a person that basically posted “i don’t understand why some radical feminists don’t believe in witchcraft or don’t even show an interest in it” on the website of literalist blunt skeptical women who read the words “i don’t understand” and go “ok let me explain.” and then upon receiving a bunch of answers explaining exactly why many of us are critical of spirituality, was like “wow they’re attacking my beliefs, they don’t get what spirituality means to ME” when yall are the ones saying you literally think it is sad and closed-minded for us to not entertain spirituality in our OWN feminism and personal belief systems, and making all of these masturbatory posts about how uniquely enlightened you are because of your spirituality. and then you go on wondering why so many of us hate “woo woo” shit

#really should never have said “i don’t understand” which implies opening a dialogue #should’ve instead said “i believe that radfems who won’t entertain spirituality are closed-minded” #if that’s already your stance #and it’s like okay you think i’m close minded for my atheism #you and literally every christian i’ve met #‘why won’t you entertain belief in god? can’t you admit that you at least don’t know?’ #okay but then you ALSO don’t know and yet you choose to believe…. #i’m sorry that i’m incapable of manifesting even an ounce of genuine feeling or questioning about the existence of a spiritual realm #you can go on thinking it’s sad but i will also go on thinking it’s sad (and stupid) that you feel you NEED spirituality #to experience wonder or connection with nature or to think deeply about our purpose in this world

Mayhaps it’s time to translate another diejoni fic…

#lol don’t think I’m *that* desperate. yet #I’ve done it once and it’s quite possible I’ll do it again #but first I have to finish my own diejoni… sigh #the amount of WIPs I have for them is insane like it’s genuinely a very good chunk of my google docs #diejoni #diejo #steel ball run #sbr

How did you become Jesskas shipper?

i thought they were sus in the game and i read a few fics that solidified the ship,, the demons got to me 😔

#this is coming from an aroace who has never shipped any non-canon pairings until now- #fics are Answers and Atlas Complex both on ao3 btw! #there r others but these are The Two that did it #genuinely don’t know why they had such a hold on me #i think it’s mainly bc of the sweet gentle yet energetic dynamic they have #as well as the absolute trust and comfort they find in each other #asks

You know what would be really funny, is if people came together to have an anti-crab day. A day where every user who joined prior to automattic’s acquisition logged off for 24 hours to show that yes, actually, older user retention is important and you should listen us just as much as new users

The users giveth, the users taketh away

#this isn’t about the sidebar btw I’ve already said I don’t mind the sidebar #I think it could be a better sidebar like the 2014 tumblr layout which was great #but it’s Fine (tm) #this is about live and the new post editor and the apparent avatar removal bs ‘experiment’ #and it’s also about how these big overhauls keep being done meanwhile we can’t have like. a search function that works #or the queue reordering tools that already exist on mobile web applied to any other platform #you know. all the little stuff that’s comparatively easy to implement yet they ‘don’t have time’ for because they’re too busy #with these massive overhauls and ignoring all the asks that go to wip #also I don’t expect anyone to actually do this and I’m sure as hell not organizing anything cause that’s a lot of work lmao #but I think giving them money pre-emptivelt just showed they can do whatever they want and we’ll fall for it #taking away money would be more effective #idk I don’t think current staff are any better at running tumblr than yahoo was #they’re just better at the ‘we’re quirky and relatable just like you guys uwu’ bit #and a lot of us fell for it but I think the illusion is starting to lift #anyway idk it sucks here but all the other sites are either worse or empty so what can we do #(genuinely wtf can we do this nonsense is getting bad) #text #misc #shut up nerd #new layout stuff

At a point in my life where coming off as racially ambiguous is bothering me bc I want to be proudly Arab more than ever before

#like I get how w my name (which I love & would never trade for the world but I still get that it’s not an Arabic name) #which is fine bc it doesn’t have to be for it to fit me. cianna is so delightful and pretty and unique no matter the origins. #& w my looks. which I recognize are not the stereotypical way ppl would perceive arab people maybe #that ppl would be thrown off. but people have projected every race ever onto me before guessing I’m Arab and I think that’s insane #I don’t get why people are always surprised bc I genuinely don’t think it’s that hard of a conclusion to arrive at #my sister is LICHERALLY a redhead. #my mom is a blonde. #not all Arabs look a certain way it’s not that deep #I would never change my name or how I look like. all these things suit me like nothing else #but I’m not white I’m not mixed I’m not Latina. I’m Arab. period #it also feels like Arab erasure lowkey but I’m trying not to interpret it aggressively #I don’t want people to argue w me about my arabness based on how I look like or what I was named. I’m Arab bc I am?? that is all. #ANYWAY I relate to Nancy Ajram bc English first name and Arabic surname gang. and racially ambiguous. n yet she’s still THE Arab pop queen #p

Guess what I found on the internet today

#I don’t think this needs to go on the flf tag but yes it was flf #if you are seeing this I’m so so sorry you do not want to know #fanfiction about real people is. A Choice. #that was just something else entirely #I don’t know why I read that I felt obligated to though #I would never want to make fun of someone for something that they put a lot of effort into and I’m not trying to do that #however I also saw that at around 5:30 am and I did not sleep last night #also the amount of psychic damage that has caused me is truly unparalleled #I have so many questions and I want absolutely none of them answered #it wasn’t even smut or close to smut it was just a whole experience #I am absolutely terrified that the person who wrote that is going to find this somehow #if they do. hi. #how are you. I’m going to think about you for the rest of my life #not good thoughts not bad thoughts I just have a lot of questions but please don’t answer any of them #4555 words split into 3 chapters published in may 2023 #I think I texted my friend a whole book of me losing my mind after I saw it on ao3 and they haven’t responded yet 💀 #welp #please send help i genuinely have no idea what to do with my life now #i feel like i have seen everything

The thing is when people are for once not passing around misinfo is the way it’s presented or the language used is very often still antisemitic. People make those “slips,” so easily, “accidentally” saying “Jews” instead of “Israelis” or “IDF” in certain places. I’m just tired. I wish the bulk of tumblr cared about actually being vigilant about those things.

#or the original post isn’t misinfo but people will add misinfo onto it #like the thing about the idf stripping palestianian men and parading them around a square previously used in Hamas demonstrations #that appears to be true. #but the additions about a ‘mass grave’ or that we know those men were murdered? we don’t have any evidence of that. at least not yet #these were men who allegedly surrendered and therefore were being taken into custody #difficult to know how many of them might’ve actually been involved w Hamas or otherwise #idf said they were stripped to be searched for weapons but it’s still an act of callous humiliation #I think people see stuff like that and genuinely don’t care which parts are true or not. #bc they’re going oh well israel/the idf are evil anyways; so it MIGHT AS WELL all be true #and like. not how that works actually. facts do matter #it should be obvious but none of this is a defense of the idf. it’s just about caring about the truth. #people don’t care about facts though; they care about rhetoric. about the narrative in their heads #that much is clear #antisemitism #Israel
