#idk I just had to rant

[pedriscroquettes]

the whole vinicius thing is disgusting. his own teammates don’t even defend him ON the pitch they wait until the camera is on them to say something. it also shocks me how racist la liga fans are saying that he should just leave ??? i actually hope he does so he doesn’t have to go through that shit every game.

#not to mention but i hate seeing atleti ultras saying he should just leave #like you don’t get it! you’re not a poc you’ve never experienced racism and you never will ! #idc if he plays for your rivals that doesn’t excuse your racism at all #idk i just had to rant #ALSO seeing none of his teammates defend him pissed me off #he’s out here being ridiculed - choked - and discriminated against and you’re just gonna stand there ???? #ash speaks

you aren’t cool or relatable so stop pretending that you are. you are so fake and you push this friendly narrative when you are really just a cold hearted bitch. this is why no one wants to be your friend.

why is this the stuff i wake up to??? just for your sake im going to explain something even if you dont care, which you probably dont….. my friend group of 8 years cut me off the summer before senior year bc i wasnt going out to party as much as them….. i walked around my ENTIRE senior year without the majority of my “friends” and had to interact with them every day because they were in my classes….. so yea, maybe i try hard and push the friendly narrative, because yes i want to be as open and friendly to everyone…… it’s the kind of person i would have wanted to be friends with my senior year of HS…..someone who said hi to me every day….. someone who actively made sure i was ok and getting enough social attention to feel welcome….. idfc if you don’t like me being so outright to people….. hope you have a good day and know that people are usually a certain way for a reason

#idk I just had to rant #ik people find me annoying and overbearing or whatever #im probably going to second guess my social interactions on here forever now ugh #sorry if i ever annoy you please tell me

this might be a controversial opinion but i think we unnecessarily platform terfs way too much. people cant even make a fun harmless trans post without people jumping on to be like "yeah, fuck terfs!" and its like. severely not about that at all

tumblr terfs love attention. they feed off of it, ESPECIALLY negative attention which is what some of yall are constantly giving them. if you dont want them interacting with your blog or w/e, thats fine, of course you dont! but everyone quietly blocking them while focusing on trans positivity would be way more beneficial than making the focus entirely about giving them the attention that theyre frothing at the mouth for

and frankly the focus on terfs takes away from conversations about casual transphobia that exists outside of just radical feminism. not everyone hides their transphobia under the guise of being a super feminist, and saying "fuck terfs" makes people feel like theyre above ever perpetuating transphobia, which is DEFINITELY not true

#maybe its time we replaced 'terfs dni' with 'trans safe' or 'trans positive' or something like that #idk ive never had terfs dni on my blog and i never have an issue with them interacting because i just #post supportively abt trans people #its that easy honestly #rant

okay this has been going through my mind for days and I have to get my thoughts out before I explode

Disclaimer, this is not talking about a specific artist/person and would never condone or participate in anon hate or online bullying for any reason but especially this one. 

I get why people are mad about Link being portrayed as this buff, hypermasculine, tall guy. I am too (again don’t fucking attack people over it though) and it seems like such an infuriating way to change the character just to fit into some ideal of hypermasculine attractiveness or to make a ship fall into a more hetero lense by making him a decent foot taller than whatever girl he’s being paired with. 

The world of video games and action movies and every form of media ever is extremely saturated with male characters that are swole and manly and whatever other descriptors people are trying to push onto Link that don’t fit into his actual character. There are so many characters out there that already fit this male standard and having a clearly androgynous elf guy was like a breath of fresh air. 

Link was literally designed to be a character whose lines on gender were blurred, ‘a girl with a masculine touch or a guy with a feminine touch’ so that anyone could project themselves onto him. His physical design in botw/totk was specifically made to be feminine enough to wear a certain outfit to pass as a woman (which includes a nearly mandatory cutscene where he puts on the clothes and blushes after being called pretty, like you have to be blind to think that its an experience that he doesn’t like at all) and in totk there are a bunch of outfits made for Link that are blatantly gnc, ones that are practically dresses, include nail polish and lipstick, you can even dye his hair bright and vivid colors and that’s half way to giving him new pronouns. The whole reason Linkle isn’t included in more mainline loz games was because her existence would force Link into a gender dichotomy, if there's a clearly female version of the main hero, that means the main hero has to be a man, and they would rather abandon a potential reoccurring character than make Link conform to a gender binary. 

So pardon me when it feels disingenuous and even malicious for him to be morphed into these clear masculine ideals, where he towers over any female romantic partner (even when in canon he is regularly depicted as noticeably shorter than her) or even in m/m fanworks he’s really beefed up, perhaps to make the scene feel more gay or something. 

Perhaps it’s because his more twink-y/ femboy body type is so heavily sexualized (though obviously when people are sculping abs on him it’s totally not because they’re horny about it) and that’s an issue in itself that bothers me. But it’s just so tiring to see one of the very few popular main characters who is short and feminine and androgynous be molded into just another bland muscle-headed action hero over and over and over again. 

I’m not mad at the creators for portraying him differently than how I like him portrayed, I’m mad because we really do get so few characters like him in good popular media, and to be honest, I really like him the way that he is. I love that he’s tiny and has long hair and has the option to dress any way the player likes. It seems a little distasteful to make him taller than a female love interest just because that’s how straight couples have to be, there’s just never been a real straight couple where the guy is shorter than the girl, that’s just Impossible! (/s) 

#i doubt anyone read this all i just needed to get it off my chest and this felt like the best place to do it #again i don't think it's a reason to bully or even just say mean things to people over their portrayal of link #but i get why it's so frustrating to people #like... link is lowkey a hero for trans guys who aren't tall and aren't ending up as masculine as they had hoped #but he's still exceptionally capable and he's still there to be an image for people who see themselves in him #idk this is just a rant #rant #zelink #loz #botw #totk

after further review I have concluded that HTTYD 1 is actually the best out of the trilogy, not HTTYD 2

#httyd 1 has the best story httyd 2 has the best visuals httyd 3 exists I guess #my biggest issues with 2 is pacing copycat alpha dragon and the villain is 2 generic #3 has a better villain but I just didnt care by that point like you know they're gonna be fine idk you know he doesn't matter #but in 2 like...stoick reunites with valka and then dies 10min after there's 0 room to breathe #toothless in 2 is just reduced to transportation dog #3 had so much potential with the hidden world glowing stuff to only give us 5min of it...sad #the style from httyd 1 is so unique and ugly but charming and by 3 its smooth Disneyfied faces #Astrid turns into an Elsa knock-off #ok rant over good night #httyd

So I'm like, utterly obsessed with MK and Wukong's relationship, because it's like, Wukong has borderline unreasonable faith in MK and MK is willing to put pretty much anything on the line for Wukong (risking the curse being released in 4x02, ready to "meet his fate" FOR him in 4x13), yet MK is also purposefully ignoring SWK's mistakes/flaws and thinking in binaries of "good guy" and "bad guy". And at this point I'm not sure what they wouldn't do for each other, or where is too far to go for each other, and let me tell you girl it's edging on unhealthy.

#I am so enthralled with this dynamic #I got to say #THEY ARE WALKING TO THE BRINK #And then they'll walk back #BUT RN. OH MAN. #When the thing that is a virtue in one context is a vice in another #Is anyone ready for my ''SWK and MK are kinda like Rose Quartz and Steven if Rose was alive to face her mistakes'' take. #Because. WOOF. Steven and RQ had such a fascinating relationship. Like. One of the my favs in media. #And every time MK is hurt by Wukong or see's how Wukong has hurt someone else I'm like. MAN. OH BOY OH BOY #And yet he still loves that monkey unconditionally and Wukong loves HIM unconditionally and I'm like #Going to throw up #And idk throw a SWK V MK fight somewhere in here and it is just the worst soup #I am rubbing my hands together #But I am a tragedy enjoyer it's true #Me: ''Oh fuck.

wait james somerton sounds a lot like some people on tumblr when they start spouting off about queer history or supposed controversies within it. is that where you guys are getting your stuff? is it james somerton brain poisoning?

#i had never watched or heard of his channel before hbomb and todd's videos #im still watching todds video i just got past that stupid nambla part #tales from diana #i suppose there's a lot to say about people making as nick called 'observational' statements but what todd more aptly calls #pulling shit out of one's ass. #it's the same thing as somerton talking about straight women or white women or straight white women being offended at gay sex scenes #yet supposedly seeking out queer media that would have gay sex scenes? #or slighting more chaste/fluffy queer media ie heartstopper? #ppl who have these sorts of biases against certain types of gay people or their media if it's not what they see as #the most radical progressive form of queer visibility and acceptance. #creating strawmen enemies that they stand in defiance of #yeah this stuff is really getting my mind rolling #i swear ive seen a lot of these points james somerton has made being later used elsewhere on social media #was it ppl watching him who were inspired to go on these rants? #bc ive always seen these sorts of citationless rants and ravings in queer-friendly spaces and been like 'what are you talking about' #maybe someone with a scarf and a video essay voice told them smugly that these things were true #crazy. crazy #but also then again how much of this baseless speculation on social media just fueled/inspired the writing of these video essays... #idk. misinformation is a self-perpetuating cycle.

i dont know what to add that others havent said better except like. keep discussing the mistreatment of ray. like keep posts circling bc we all have these serious discussions every few months then people pat themselves on the back and move on, changing nothing. the racism surrounding rays place in fandom and how fan culture has treated him is and has been ongoing for as long as theres been mcr fandom and its gonna continue if we dont actually deal w it head on

#barry.txt #the way people characterize ray the way they talk about his body and personality #even his gender like the way he gets characterized as the guy/the masc/the straight one consistently in comparison to the others despite #that just. objectively not being the case #i saw someone say that ray openly disliked the costumes and performance of mcrs old shows and lhotoshoots and thats just incorrect! #ray wasnt like a makeup guy during revenge but he clearly had as much fun as anyone during TBP and especially DD #hes as much a fan of flamboyant bombastic rock and metal as gerard thats why mcr fucking sounds like that #idk. im losing steam thats just a mini rant i had. just. think about what you say and why you say it and where the thought came from

every time I see someone pitch a picard spinoff about [insert character here] I just get so tired like. I know I’m years late to pick this battle but I genuinely just don’t think single character focused shows are the right choice for star trek given that at its core it’s about a group of people working together for a better future. obviously the main character would still have a crew, and obviously the captains have always been closer to main characters than the rest of the crew to a degree, but naming the show after one person means that everything that happens on that show ultimately happens in service of the titular character, and that very individualistic mindset feels wrong for trek imo.

#also like. yeah I guess technically the 90s shows all spun off each other but a) they each had a distinctly separate premise #and b) they each set up basically entirely new casts of characters that were specifically crafted for that show and that situation #vs if you spin off an established character you ultimately limit how new it can get I think #worf is an outlier to a degree but he had to adapt to the show it wasn’t built around him #idk the point in the tags is I guess a lesser complaint I just find it limiting #san rant

Do yall think Psychics like- use guns at all

I know they can probably just Psi-blast stuff but do you ever wonder how badass it'd be for Sasha Nein to just pull out a revolver or a pistol or some shit

Maybe there could be some kind of gun that's infused with psi-tanium or something that just shoots bullets of raw psychic energy

#They can even glow purple or something because of the psi-tanium idk #Just brainstorming #I also had a drawing idea but I was like- would they even need one? A gun? Would they just have one to look cool #I also watched the Magnum Bullets music video #And its really weird but the way the gun and weapons and EVERYTHING was animated fascinated me #But yeah #Idk maybe I want to expand this idea #doodles rants #psychonauts #psychonauts 2
