[secondstar-acorn]

not to be angry on main but to the person who was very loudly complaining about "just for once" and started making fun of me for handing out bracelets in the queue for starkid. why the fuck were you there

#SORRY I KNOW IT'S BEEN TWO DAYS #BUT IT REALLY PISSED ME OFF #I started handing out bracelets and they were immediately very loudly like #'ugh fuckin friendship bracelets are so dumb are you a child' #which is like. okay #it's cool if the bracelets aren't your thing but i'd love it if you could not make fun of me #while standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME #the audacity #also how dare you insult just for once #kidding obviously ppl can dislike what they want #it was more the being unnecessarily mean when we're all clearly super excited that pissed me off #my brother in christ i'm sorry you have no whimsy in your life #anyway #i loved starkid innit and i ignored them and moved on but i'll be honest #it pissed me tf off #and it shocks me that someone so bitter and nasty and negative could even be in this fandom #sorry #not to rant on main but #star rambles #not gonna tag this with starkid innit bc we don't need negativity in the tag frankly #but i did want to expel this from my brain lol

Blog 1: lol anyone else seeing a lot of strawberries in new recipes now? sometimes its fun but i really dont get the appeal of adding it to everything. why did you make strawberry garlic bread

Blog 2: u kno im not a fan of strawberries, i really like the rich sweet and sour notes from oranges, oranges and chocolate is such a good combo. i altered a recipe for a smoothie with oranges last week and it was soooo good ill give you my notes if you want Reblogged by: Blog 1: ahaha yesss i love chocolate and oranges

Blog 3: I canNOT believe the hate im seeing to strawberries right now, like, you know guys know the rule don't like don't bake right?? you know you can hit the back button right?? honestly what's wrong with yall

Open draft- wait guys you know there's a difference between leaving a comment on a recipe saying you hate strawberries and the recipe writer should never use them, and going to your own blog to say you don't really like strawberries, without naming any specific people or recipes right? you know there's a difference right?? - Save - Post - Discard

Draft discarded

Blog 4: why is everyone jumping on the strawberry hate train right now. what is wrong with you. Reblogged by: Blog 5: I knowwww like guys some people stop baking because of reading things like that, please stop it, if you don't like strawberries you can be quiet about it

Open draft- im so sorry if anyone's getting sent mean messages or comments about what they're writing and baking, but i'm literally not seeing any of that and if you are, please use the block button. but someone making a post on their own blog is not that, and if you can't see the irony in you being allowed to complain on personal blogs but not them i can't help you... - save- post- discard

Draft discarded

Blog 2: are strawberries even in season?

Blog 6: woo cherry pie!

#trying so hard to be a blog 6 rn #im discarding those drafts #but clearly it has been too much for me as this one is getting posted #like i really am sorry if any. strawberry antis are directly being rude to anyone #that isnt ok #but i have seen zero of that on my dash or in the tag #i saw a few blogs saying lol they don't like strawberries #and then i saw a ton of blogs saying how dare there be any negativity at all #and seeming to act as if those blog posts were specifically about disliked fic authors i mean recipe makers #which... if any of them were... i didn't see it because of how i blocked large swaths of the fandom like three years ago #when i realized that it was determined to blow up a discourse topic every single month #and if there are people doing that. please. do what i did. block en mass #if you open a recipe that turns out to have strawberries in it and you cant hit the back button but instead leave a nasty comment that is a #you problem #but also if you see a random blog post about someone saying they dislike strawberries- hate strawberries even- and you feel personally #attacked and start crying about how now you never want to bake a strawberry shortcake again and they're so mean #that is also. a you problem. #'what fandom is this pocket' dont worry about it #not one i have any mutuals in #which. considering the mass blocking and the annoying chronic discourse explosions. perhaps is not surprising

[bisexualdinahlance]

I don't disagree with the "people would have better fandom experiences if they focused on what they liked about the media/fandom rather than what they hate" because I do think some people get too caught in the negativity vortex.

BUT as someone who is a bit of a complainer (though not as much on this blog as my fandom specific blogs lol), people also have GOT to learn to tag better. Because I would enjoy my fandom a lot more if I could peruse tags - both on tumblr and ao3 - without constantly seeing the content that I hate. And that's WITH blacklisting.

Stop tagging irrelevant things for exposure or "target audience", stop tagging fics with the actor names and every nickname for a character under the sun, stop tagging other relationships or friendships that only pop up for a single line in your 5k fic. Tumblr's tagging system/sorting already sucks without people filling up the tags with shit that doesn't matter.

Like I wouldn't even think about the stuff that pisses me off with fandom nearly as much if I could actually AVOID IT. I've never been someone who has been big on blocking, especially because I forget why people piss me off so easily, but I've had to start blocking a lot more just because it's impossible to exist in fandom at times without being bombarded by the stuff you hate.

(That's not even touching on how absolutely horrid reader tags are because of how Tumblr's tag reader functions. Please use a universal "x reader" tag or something I am BEGGING you. Because right now it's just block on sight.)

Basically, despite how much Tumblr's operating system itself doesn't help, I think a lot of people on both sides of this issue would end up happier and in a better mental place if people were better at tagging.

#fandom wank #sort of #idk how to tag this lmao #ive just seen several people reblog similar posts recently and like i get it! #i have to remove myself from fandoms sometimes when i myself am becoming too negative #(i have anger issues lol) #but like i know what sets me off and theres a lot of like #lack of courtesy in fandom nowadays that just exacerbates tempers

tbh I feel like I would like bbc ghosts more if I hadn't heard so much about how it was so much better than that "awful" show I happen to also like

#don't get me wrong they're m children now!!! and I did thoroughly enjoy it #but idk I don't feel comfortable engaging with the fandom and I feel like watching stuff about it or whatever is me forcing myself #to because everyone likes it so much better than cbs ghosts #and I genuinely feel like I would like it more if I hadn't heard about how good it was :/ #or maybe it's just bc I feel like I HAVE to like it sooo much better than cbs #idk #anyway I finished it today and I promise I did love it #but :/ #cbs ghosts #ghosts cbs #ghosts #oasis's ghosts chatter #not tagging bbc since I don't appreciate negative stuff in tags I go through and this is kinds negative lol #I even feel bad saying this bc I do like it I just feel like I HAVE to assure ppl of that fact and egh

[lord-squiggletits]

I know gender fuckery is the name of the game with alien robots and people are allowed to headcanon and AU whatever they want, but there are some choices to genderbend certain characters that do really fucking annoy me not gonna lie

#negativity #not me seeing canon gay man characters being turned into women and or lesbians #like :)))))) yeah sure i guess that's your interpretation. it's shit tho #i guess queer and gnc men arent ~special~ enough or something #a character being gay and a man is kind of a valuable thing about specific lgbt experiences #and seeing ppl turn them into women is like. ah i see so you just completely didnt give a shit about that huh #it has to be all about you you cant possibly relate or find value in someone who isnt a mirror of you #god it's already hard enough to find good rep of queer men #esp in a fandom that's still rife with seme uke and other lowkey homophobic shipping dynamics #then ppl will take interesting canon gay men characters and be like. ah yes this is a woman #hhhhhhh because that's not potentially upsetting to anyone lol #esp when people dont even tag their shit misgendering characters #like it's funny how no one AU's arcee into being a gay man or something BC IT WOULD BE REALLY BAD TASTE #BC PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HER BEING TRANS LESBIAN IS LIKE A UNIQUE EXPRESSION THAT SHOULDNT BE ERASE #god forbid we apply that same logic to canon queer men though #being a queer man isnt a unique experience at all. there isnt anything offensive about changing them tee hee

TSCS butchered so many things. Honestly, I'm just going to continue to believe that Charlie took over as Santa (because they did my boy so dirty), that Scott was not the first human Santa (wth? seriously), and that this was all just some fever-dream induced vision thanks to the Sandman. Thankfully they cannot take away the weenie whistle away from my sweater-loving fool that is Neil.

And THANKFULLY they stayed very far away from Neil and Laura and Lucy so at least we still have them 😭😭😭 and their sweaters and feeling inventory sessions and general silliness we know and love!!

#posting An Opinion bc we're at a point in my day where things are their most inactive so people don't have to be subjected to my rantings #it's just me feelin sad about things with no real consequences lol #but good LORD i dislike the way many people in the fandom handle gregory or how they interpret him #and the way so much of it can be traced back to a single source!! the character assassination damage from that One Thing is crippling #i dont wanna write the One Thing's name i dont want it showing up in those tags bc those fans will rip me to shreds but anyway #i know fandom loves a gay evil twink but that is LITERALLY not gregory IN THE SLIGHTEST..... nor is he some pretentious asshole!! #the boy is a revolutionary and a martyr he wants to help the oppressed and voiceless so bad and die in the process #it's his whole THING so he doesn't know how to handle others who don't understand the importance of it which makes him come across as aloof #and he's got the vibe of a gifted kid expected to act mature beyond his years so he can't form meaningful social connections #but he is a good boy and people who think he is Evil are wrong and also probably only watched the movie knowing his characterization from #That One Thing :/ or they don't understand characters are not always clear cut tropes and so they pigeonhole him into one anyway #ok rant OVER ty to whoever read my tags. i have endless Hot Takes on this subject and similar tbh but i dont wanna be a place of negativity

[that-was-anticlimactic]

actually, no. you know what? i am so sick of this “marinette is just a friend” bs. okay. cool. adrien said she was just a friend a few times. whatever. it’s not that big of a deal and everyone in the mlb fandom like. hyperfixates on that??? idc if it’s a “just a joke” because it’s utterly ridiculous at this point. i have literally seen people go on heated rants about how stupid or clueless adrien was during the umbrella scene because he called mari just a friend. are you kidding me??? y’all are really going to take away that moment for him? he just made like his first ever friend in nino and when he called her a friend, he looked so excited because this boy has only ever had one friend before. of course he’s going to call mari just a friend because he just met her and the only time she’s actually spoken to him outside of the suit at this point is to yell at him like... y’all...

and this is not me hating on mari because i love her so so so much. i just hate how passionate and heated fans get about this. i mean... y’all... adrien didn’t even think mari liked him??? like, in puppeteer two, he is literally upset because he came to the conclusion that mari hates him. also, of course he’s not like in love with or crushing on her when she’s barely spoken actual sentences to him! again, not me hating on mari and her nerves because like i get it, it’s hard. and also this is like adrien’s first time interacting with people as peers, so 1. of course romance is not his main priority 2. he doesn’t understand social cues or situations very well At All which is made abundantly clear in the show 3. i don’t... i don’t think adrien knows what affection is??? i mean, he’s definitely learned some over the course of the show, but he’s used to a neglectful / abusive father, his stoic assistant, his bodyguard who doesn’t really talk like at all, chloé being chloé, and hoards of fans declaring that they’re in love with him, hanging all over him, acting like he’s a shiny thing rather than a person, etc... so like. how is adrien supposed to actually comprehend that mari likes him???

and okay no my last point: so so so sick of the double standard. i have seen countless people rant and rave and scream and shout about how stupid adrien is for not returning mari’s feelings or knowing he has a crush on her and then these same people will turn around and berate chat noir and say things like “gosh ladybug isn’t obligated to return his feelings:/” like... hELLO??? why is ladybug not obligated while adrien is??? it’s ridiculous and disgusting and i’m so so so tired of “just a friend” jokes on tumblr, in art, in fics, in youtube compilations... like... can’t we be normal about this? and i don’t mean normal as in “casually enjoy” i mean normal as in can we stop being so aggressive and harsh and hostile towards literal fourteen year olds my God they’re children they’re allowed to make mistakes and mess up and my God the way y’all talk about lila is disgusting, too like i hate her but i don’t want her tortured and killed??? and the way people characterize the classmates as physically and verbally assaulting mari because of lila??? like... my God they would never??? they would all honestly side with mari chameleon is a bad episode and is poorly written and everyone is out of character please use your critical thinking skills and understand that chat noir is not harassing ladybug anymore than mari may be harassing adrien (aka they are not harassing each other at all my God) and stop insulting and demonizing fourteen year olds so your otp can get together thanks

#i have. feelings. #sorry y'all #this may be harsh but i am so beyond sick of it #i've been going through the classmates tag on ao3 and filtered out all the s.alt fics for all the characters and the majority of the fics #i'm seeing are aggressive lila takedown fics or like unproperly tagged s.alt fics #where the classmates are still rude and aggressive and bully mari when even lila doesn't really bully mari that badly??? like yes it is #awful that she tried to get her expelled and lied a bit about her but lila has never been physical nor tried to kill mari and nor would any #of the classmates actually turn against her like. they may disagree with her or think she may be acting on her crush and yes lila did #threaten mari in the bathroom but like... what has she done since then? try to get her expelled and then... nothing. like. this is Not me #saying not to take bullying seriously but people take it to the extreme with lila and how she treats mari in fics and i am so so so sick of #it!!! i just want to read mlb classmate fics where they're all silly and being teenagers without mari being unreasonably and uncanonically #bullied and without the tags 'alya/adrien/classmate redemption' HELLO??? WHY DO THEY NEED TO BE REDEEMED??? THEY AREN'T VILLAINS??? THEY ARE #FOURTEEN??? as a rule of thumb i refuse to read fics with those tags like sorry but if you tag fics like that then you obviously don't know #the characters. i'm sorry if this sounds mean or harsh it's just exhausting trying to find fun or sweet or found family mlb fics because so #many of them are so negative and ooc and involve like extreme hatred towards fourteen year old fictional children... like... how do we not #see the problem with that??? like... am i overreacting??? please someone tell me they agree with me!!! i've been working on this really #stressful assignment that determines whether i graduate my future career and also costs three hundred dollars to take so i've been really #stressed and every time i try and take an mb fic break i end up more stressed because the fandom is so cruel to children ahhhhhhhh #okay i am. done. maybe i'll delete this later... i just need to see if someone agrees with me because i am. :))) on the verge of losing it #lol #mlb

What infuriates you the most with Descendants? From the plot to the characters.

I will say I do try and give it some leeway because at the end of the day, I am an adult who is obsessed with a series for children, and I recognize when you're writing a movie where the target demographic is like 5 - 13, you don't necessarily get as in depth into certain topics. Like, I wish that the allusions to abuse were handled more consistently and respectfully, but I also understand they were never going to get into it so I can respect the attempt that was made in D1.

However what really bugs me is Mal's character arcs, because she's the lead and is ultimately the character who most little girls watching the movie are meant to identify with and want to be like, but she really doesn't come across as a good friend or learn from others so much as independently decide that she has changed her mind. It's the worst for me in D2, because Uma is framed as the antagonist despite the fact that she's doing everything Mal did in D1. Obviously Uma was super popular with little girls (and everybody because she rules) so they pull back on it in D3, but I really don't think Mal's D2 arc is good at all.

I think a lot of Mal's character growth doesn't work simply because it all hinges on romance and I don't think Dove Cameron has any chemistry with Mitchell Hope (and I also truly believe Mal is a repressed lesbian LOL). In D1, everyone else decides to rebel against their parents because they discover something about themselves and realize they can be who they want to be on Auradon in a way they can't on the isle (Evie and Jay are the best examples, Evie is my favorite because she is able to discover something about herself and THEN enter into a romance, which is a lot better than finding yourself through romance, but still allows romance to be a part of the arc). On the other hand, Mal pivots because of a relationship that she doesn't seem that into, and then in D2 it falls apart because....she's not that into it lol. Like, she has nothing on Auradon (besides Ben) that she doesn't have on the isle, because she doesn't gain any hobbies or make any friends or even learn anything about herself that doesn't tie back to the romance. She has magic on Auradon, except the story frames magic as a bad thing and makes her give it up at the end of D2. And because the WHOLE TRILOGY hinges on Mal's growth as a character it makes a lot of the plot and conflict really contrived and frustrating to me.

I also wish they had a gay character but whatever Disney hates me

#i don't remember any of my tags it's been ages #ultimately a lot of the stuff that makes mal interesting in fandom makes canon sort of excruciating #because like. in the text of the world mal is not a lesbian #descendants was not written as a 'here is a story about a repressed lesbian and the ways in which that affects her life negatively' #it comes across like that! that's how i choose to read the movies! #but watching the movies as intended it's genuinely like what are they thinking #i will ALSO SAY. a lot of this comes down to confusing canon stuff too #based on the book canon (which at one point was meant to be tied to the movie but is now very clearly diverged) #the friendship of the core four is meant to be new at the start of d1 #so you can argue that over the course of the movie mal gains a friendgroup and that's why she turns good #and i believe that was meant to be the intention #HOWEVER. this is completely impossible to tell from the film #because the dynamic at the start of the film indicates theyve been friends for years #and i firmly believe for all movies. anything important about the plot of your film...should be in the film lol #if i have to turn to external sources to understand basic character beats you're doing it wrong #i definitely don't believe book canon has any bearing on movie canon at this point anyway #it's optional flavor text #*ask

Watched Destruction. Oof. I’m glad my expectations for this show have fallen prior to watching. I’m still a little disappointed. But past me would have seen an episode called “Destruction” and be really hyped about an Adrien and Plagg centric episode. Which it definitely wasn’t. Plagg who? They really could have cut down on the lengthy Marinette and Gabriel scenes to give Adrien some more time. Especially considering what happened. I really wanted an Adrien and Plagg scene after that. (Maybe we’ll get it in a later episode though.) The episode wasn’t horrible, it was just very “meh” for me. It felt like I could have watched the couple of minutes where I was actually invested and skipped the rest. 😅 That’s my mood about the show in general though. I want it to focus on Adrien (and not just his feelings for Marinette/Ladybug) so basically I’m setting myself up for disappointment by watching. I KNOW THIS. Apparently I like to suffer. lol But I’m too invested in him and I’ve been watching this show too long to stop now. I feel like I at least have to see it through to the end of this arc that’s been going for 5 seasons.

#miraculous salt #I guess #ml destruction #miraculous spoilers #ml spoilers #ML season 5 spoilers #I'm being vague but still #tbqh I HAVE seen leaks #but after S4 I was going to come into S5 salty anyway #lol #if it weren't for Adrien I'd drop this show so fast #the fandom has taken this incredible concept and ran with it in a way the show never could #sorry for the negativity but I still want to share? #mayhaps block the miraculous salt tag if you'd like to avoid my silly little opinions #I genuinely hope some people enjoy how the season works out #but my personal hopes are pretty dashed #you have no idea how badly I want the leaks to be wrong #anyway fanon is so much better than canon sometimes and this show is a shining example my dudes

Honestly if you're gonna misuse tags I'm just blocking on site now I done even care. If you want more reach use tag variants, not unrelated tags, bc chances are the people in those tags you're using aren't going to reblog your shit either way if it has nothing to do with their interests

#dont even get me STARTED on neg posting in main tags #like the one person who was saying how much they hated ethan winters and then tagging it with the main ethn tag like #and then they complained when ppl called them on it #like. dude ppl ise that tag bc they LIKE the character and not to read your bs about them #like dawg. how hard is it to just. tag things properly #i get accidents happen esp if youre using a lot of tags but the number of times i see shit completely unrelated to a fandom in that tag #makes me want to rip out my brainstem #anyways lol #robi rambles #this wasnt meant to be so angry im just ugh today sorry #i think its bc my neighbors are incapable of putting their dogs on leashes but itd be MY dogs fault for attacking them if they come up to #us on walks and its just. everything is pissing me off rn ugh #n e ways

Random bit of silly advice

When you go to tell a joke about yourself, make it overly, ridiculously, complimentary rather than self deprecating

I cannot tell you how much my general wellbeing (and how I come off to others) has improved since I switched it up, stopped saying stuff like, "why would you want to talk to me? I suck lol," and started saying, "YES it is ME the wonderful Innis. Of course you want to talk to me, I'm amazing!"

It can be sarcastic. When I started switching over to saying good things about myself, it was 100% sarcastic. You can slap a little /sj on the end of that bad boy and know that you don't really believe it and the idea of genuinely saying something like that about yourself makes you cringe, the important thing is that you put a little more positivity and fun into your world rather than more meanness.

I'm still my own biggest critic, too! It's just in a much less mean, sad way, now.

When you insult yourself, you internalise that acknowledging your flaws is the same as being all those nasty labels: bad, mean, loser, stupid, unimportant, unlikeable. Sod that! Pretending you're an amazing all powerful deity of perfection in all the silliest of ways is what I wanna see more of in 2024

#innisthoughts #what i'm saying is #channel Zim #which man now makes me get autistic about how Zim's habit of bragging can be interpreted as a defence mechanism #because since he was a smeet people have been mostly negative towards him and- #ok stop this isn't an IZ character analysis post #MOVING ON #self postivity #negative self talk #mental health advice #I guess? #Whenever I leave a specific fandom I no longer know how to tag lol

making an important announcement about some things i’ve noticed in the gwendoline christie fandom that really bug me.

disclaimer: read this at your own convenience and discretion. i am not responsible for any sort of hurt feelings and frankly… i don’t care. if you’re mad about this, you are probably the problem. /lh

to start with id like to begin on a positive note so that i’m not diving into negativity, i don’t want to be completely negative about my experiences because i’ve actually met some of the kindest people in the world through this fan base.

the gwen fandom, the gwandom, the gwendoline christie fandom , the lesbian cesspool, has been an incredible experience that i’m grateful i’ve had the pleasure of being apart of.

i went through a rough patch during november, and if i hadn’t found out about gwen, or met such wonderful people during my time here , i honestly wouldn’t be here right now. i owe my life to these people, gwen included. i will forever adore miss christie and what she stands for alongside the friends i’ve made along the way.

and while i know someday this hyperfix will end, it’s really disheartening to me when a fandom is what makes me grow distant from things i enjoy. it happened before, i feel as though it is happening all over again.

and no, i’m not taking issue with anything like the catrissa stuff or the brienne and larissa ship going around or anything like that. i like that we can all be weird together and enjoy aus like catrissa and crackships like bririssa (not sure the official name that was decided lol). my issue is the amount of content i’ve seen that either focuses on gwen herself, or the strange relationship with minors, or the odd artwork of gwen, and the absolute disgusting behaviour towards giles.

gwen would be absolutely appalled seeing fanfictions of herself that involve nsfw or just her in general, anyone would, it’s disgusting to make works of real people in that setting. it’s like you’re treating them as an original character you can mould and manipulate as you see fit and using someone who is real with thought and feeling and consciousness for smut fics is not okay, or any fic in general. i totally get the hype around her characters, i literally have “brienne’s princess” in my bio and i’ve had “jane murdstone’s bloodbag” (in reference to my vamp au) as a name in a discord server.

but i think the fandom has begun to blur the lines between fictional characters and reality settings when it comes to gwen and the personalities she portrays on the television screen. it’s not fair to her. it’s disgusting. i’ve seen a minor do it, i’ve seen a grown adult do it. it’s something i don’t see shamed and frowned upon often enough and it’s really not okay.

on that note i’d like to quickly mention the photos, we alllll know what photos i’m talking about. the bunny one, the nudes, the ones gwen has expressed regret towards and wishes to not have them spread. was there not a “fan” who brought her a book of her nudes and wanted her to sign it? that person who was blocked on instagram by gwen because they reposted her nudes on their story and tagged her???? how can you refer to yourself as a fan after behaving so abhorrently? absolutely disgusting behaviour. as a collective fandom we need to stop touching those photos (metaphorically speaking) and leave them in the past.

i’ve been told of numerous circumstances in which adults have shown their nsfw works to minors in this fandom and it has to fucking stop. it’s disgusting!! how can you do that knowingly? i constantly ponder terminating my account after a minor got ahold of my nsfw work, and upon realising they WERE a minor it was as simple as blocking and moving on. it’s truly not that hard, folks. and the minors on tiktok who fight with others saying silly things like “that’s my wife” or worse. i’ve seen it all, i feel like, and the more i see it the more sick i become. i cannot stand it.

i have seen and heard of fans who have fat shamed gwen for that one pink dress she wore to the met gala. she looked so happy in that dress, and the audacity one must have to fatshame that poor woman on twitter then turn around and continue to proclaim your ‘love for her’ as if you’d done no wrong? are you fucking serious? are you mental?

and the sexualisation over the porcelain doll look, gods some of you are sick. those were not real breasts, people. considering the fact she wholeheartedly regrets her nude photoshoots , what possesses you to believe she would actually flaunt her chest in that outfit?

the blatant mistreatment of poor giles is not fucking okay either. just because you’re jealous of someone who makes her immensely happy does not give you the right to post something so vile and cruel about him. shame on you. why do you believe this is okay to post:

????????

are you serious? have any of you stopped to consider how HAPPY giles makes her? or is her happiness the last thing you ponder when you look at her? have you even noticed how unhappy she looks lately? have you truly paused to consider how she would feel about seeing this on your page, random twitter user, or the rest of you who think this is okay? bless your hearts.

and some of the absolutely horrific things i’ve seen about her online and the hurtful behaviour towards giles makes me question the difference between a fan and just the general paparazzi. because if you truly loved her and you truly loved giles then i would not be ranting into the fucking void about it for no reason.

i avoid interacting with pages i find problematic on here to keep from stirring the pot but tonight i chose violence and got reeeeeal pissy about how i felt about this place. it’s not okay what i see on here and it’s getting exhausting seeing the same cycle of content on a daily.

that’s everything i have to say, i think. i probably missed a lot that should be discussed in the comments but i’m done for now because i know if i go on i’ll probably cry.

before you post things about real people with real feelings , stop to consider how they will feel those real feelings towards the content you put out. chances are you’ll become less problematic and obnoxious that way. 💘
