#it’s an idea that’s really harmful

[pinkfey]

i think this baby gay mentality of queer relationships being inherently healthier than straight ones is not a good one ?? maybe ??

#obv there’s more nuance #but the idea that gay ppl (sapphics especially) aren’t toxic like straight ppl are #it’s an idea that’s really harmful #before anons go fucking insane i’m not saying no one should celebrate their healthy queer relationship #just that i think in the gay community toxic and abusive and codependent relationships aren’t spoken about nearly as often as they should #i was to say bc we want to avoid the already harmful stigma that we’re all bad and predatory #*want #it’s common for baby gays to get swept up in new relationships in ways unique to queer ppl too #and i’m NOT saying stop making ur lil heehee jokes #just that baby gays need to be aware of how queer relationships can be very abusive as well #it’s very very easy to enter a codependent relationship as a gay person especially if you don’t have a good relationship with your family #it’s also easy to be taken advantage of as a younger gay person because Yes there Are older gays who seek out baby gays #i wish we could have these conversations without like. i dunno. ‘undermining’ the progress that’s been made towards gay acceptance #is this making sense?? #being queer doesn’t remove the dangers of dating and it’s rlly important that baby gays know this !! #idk i’m just talking. as usual ✊😔 #anyways.txt

New idea.

Okay now hear me out.

-Pulls out AU idea cauldron and tosses stuff into it-

Let's put in some Ghost King/Prince Danny.... But also some deaged to toddlerhood Danny that gets yeeted into the DCverse!

Like imagine, tiny baby Danny with his tiny crown of ice floating above his head and his galaxy cape wrapped around him and uses it like a baby blanket. He didn't mean to fall into a different universe, a natural portal opened up and he was being a curious little thing! He didn't mean to trip and fall in during his nap time.

Nor was he expecting to fall into this realm during a rogue attack and knock out said rogue cause they were being a meanie and harming people and now Danny just wants his nap time cause he spent a lot of his tiny engery and he wants to find a nice spot.

Danny finds a place to crash, snuggling himself into his cape and the astronaut bear Danielle got him during her last visit that he takes everywhere since.

He's out like a light as the door to this safe house that belongs to one of the Bats opens up.

Meanwhile. In the Infinite Realms, Queen Regent Jazz is going into Mama Bear Jazz Mode trying to find her deaged brother, keeping the Realms in check, and is resisting the urge to put CW in time out Soup Time because he's being cyptided again about Danny whereabouts!!! UGH!

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them! #it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music' #to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me. #but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in. #anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

it frankly pisses me off that what is essentially “rapists and abusers should be depicted as monstrous caricatures because humanizing them is inappropriate” is considered a very moral and enlightened position to have on art by so many people. a rapist can feel pain, have moments of vulnerability, be amiable and charming, express remorse and compassion at times, be a victim themselves, and so on in real life. they are even capable of doing good things. they can have different sides to them and have individuals in their lives that they are kind to or have a decent relationship with. they will be a human being, and that fact encompasses a lot. conflating that with the claim that they deserve forgiveness or absolution is an issue. nurturing a mindset that believes they need to be one note and uncomplicated to be a correct and tasteful depiction of a rapist inadvertently falls in line with the logic of “how could they have possibly raped you? they are so normal and kind to me. they did all these good things here and there.” ok that doesn’t change that they are a rapist.

#and its always said by fiction affects reality warriors ok this affects victims bc they will have doubts about their abuse and #about their own abuser because they are not the boogeyman #there was this pretty heartbreaking post by an abuse survivor who put this into words #its one of those things where it feels like the intention is good but it does more harm to victims than the perpetrators really #im not saying its impossible to have a tasteless depiction of a rapist but u guys just project that idea onto shit where it doesnt apply #if something explores the reality and consequences of their actions and the impact on the victims without downplaying it or ignoring it #then this critique just holds no water to me #idgaf if they r humanized ive seen their actions and just because they have a solitary other dimension doesnt mean i feel pressured #to forgive or absolve them lmao? #(as in the piece of art in question is not advocating for that) #cw rape

I think just dropping this without context works best (alt versions under cut)

#this idea came to me via divine message #anyways #uh #I really don’t know how to explain this one it’s just #it’s literally just for me idk anyone else this would appeal to #sigh #omori fans get his ass #okay okay fr tag time now #isat siffrin #isat #in stars and time #tw self harm #but like not really #if it’s scars does it count chat #art

[madootles]

d***** can get fucked for refusing to advertise this movie. it really is so good and the many artists and creatives who put their jobs on the line to bring this story to us deserve all our appreciation and love. 

#strange world #ethan clade #SUCH a cute and well-paced movie! #shout out to jaboukie lmao I've been following him on twitter for years and I never realized he was an actor until now #great commentary on harmful farming practices #and kind of investigates the common assumption that humans hold dominion over the rest of the world #this movie promotes the idea that we are just another bunch of organisms on this planet and we are acting as parasites #the gay boy plot really delivered it was actually so heartwarming to see.... #sigh #turns out representation does matter #/s #went home and watched encanto and moana and now I'm watching lilo and stitch...... sigh #ok bye #animation #fan art #art #supporting artists #photoshop #digital art

Also ngl I kinda love the concept of Debling courting Penelope and Colin getting jealous because of it, not because I ship it (he’s barely a character) or because I’m part of the crowd that wants to see Colin ~suffer (though I’m not opposed to seeing him dramatically yearn), but because the reason Penelope specifically is going after this vegan man is so fascinating to me. Like, she obviously doesn’t love him. But she will marry him to protect LW… she’ll marry him to please Portia, that’s so funny.

Girl’s so desperate to escape her awful family life while at the same time keeping her secret, but she also wants her mother’s approval. And she’s so caught up in that toxic mindset that she completely misses the guy she’s been in love with since childhood making heart eyes at her from across the ballroom.

Pen only has her parents’ terrible marriage as a frame of reference, so she probably thinks it’s a bonus if her future husband is much older than her because that could make her a young widow. He’ll leave the country for the majority of the year to fuck off to Antarctica? Oh to be left alone by your own life partner!!!

Meanwhile Portia is enthusiastically nodding behind Penelope like yes, perhaps he’ll die at sea, and neither of them think there’s anything wrong with this outlook in life.

Hilarious.

#just to make it clear i don’t think pen wishes debling harm or anything like that #this post is not about that #but poor girl has no idea sex can be good actually #so she’s probably relieved at the prospect of having to spend very little time with her husband #portia def wouldn’t gaf if debbling died at sea though. i stan #i just love penelope making bad decisions for all the wrong reasons and self-sabotaging in the process #that’s what makes her the most relatable character to ME 🙅‍♀️ #colin being all sad broken hearted because he missed his chance… she doesn’t love him #no dude he does lmfao she’s just too caught up in her own mother-daughter cycle of toxicity to notice #chef’s kiss A+ no notes #penelope featherington #portia featherington #colin bridgerton #polin #anti debling #kinda? as i said i don’t really care abt him enough to dislike him #in terms of narrative i think he serves the same purpose as the prince in s1 and whats-his-face guy who flirted with kate in s2 #but just to be sure lol #bridgerton #bridgerton spoilers #bridgerton season 3 #meta #my meta #again… kinda

what reagents even go into trying to make shades whole again? did melinoë have to scavenge the ingredients at the crossroads or did icarus have to bring them to her? is the missing component something that can only be found beneath the earth? on the surface? maybe both?? I must know

#waxwitch nation help me speculate pls #hades game #hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #waxwitch #i was thinking about this for a potential project idea that will take me a LONG time to complete..... but no harm in starting now #i say as i have 18 wips on the backburner #this isn't a fic tho. not really? it's a secret other thing

i'm saying it. i don't think joly would work in a hospital. i think his medical career would be informed by his politics + radicalisation and his + his friends regular drug use, he would be outraged at how the medical industry handles drug users, also at the medical industrial complex in general, so he would find a reputable community led harm reduction organisation to work for 🫶🏻

#joly #it also works because the idea that modern les amis wouldn't all have a million jobs and volunteer roles in community organising #and you know... do direct community action to support people... instead of just little hypothetical meetings where they debate hypothetical #problems.... #that idea is so bullshit and i know it's written by people who only have indoor people problems and don't realise most radicals actually do #things... but still it annoys me #and he would hate working in a hospital #not that the harm reduction work wouldn't be stressful and high intensity too but he would rather it for the love of community #also it wouldn't be hard because as a disabled person he would already be radicalised against doctors and medical industry in general #les amis #les mis #mine #i realise as a disabled drug using cane user i could #write joly really really well #the best joly scene is in world ain't ready where in one scene he's so excited for the battle of the bands dancing around yelling and stuff #then they pick him up and he's like 'tonight is a sitting night' URGH that's so real it almost made me cry #anyway joly feelings good morning

hello friends. despite my 9 million existing dreamling wips i'm feeling the need to branch out a bit for the sake of my mental variety. what pairing other than dreamling should i write a little something for? could be romantic or platonic

other way of phrasing i guess: any pairings you really want to see more fics for in the fandom?

#i actually do have one someone asked me for ages ago i've been meaning to get to so i'll try to do that too #bonus points if it still involves dream bc you know i love dream XD #probably wont do any romantic pairings /between/ the endless because well yeah #but open to exploring pretty much anything else... feel free to send whatever if you want. dont worry about if i'll like it #if i can't vibe with it or find it uncomfy i just won't write it no harm no foul #not me soliciting little prompts fully knowing that motivation is a fickle beast and who knows if i would get to writing them XD i want #to though! or like. idk. if anyone wants to share headcanons about their favorite pairings i am happy to receive them #the sandman #a couple that are bouncing around my head already: #rose meeting desire. this could be really interesting i think (they are of course her grandparent) #calliope and lucienne post-calliope's imprisonment: i think their dynamic could be interesting since they both have/had close relationships #with dream. but of course calliope's relationship with him fell apart. i think lucienne with whatever context of it she had would probably #be sympathetic to calliope's perspective but still staunchly On Dream's Side so the speak bc she is ultimately very loyal to him... could b #an interesting convo. #additionally - calliope and johanna. both suffered things recently. both had curious interactions with dream where they recently saw both #his vicious side AND a kinder more understanding side of him... [dream gave rachel a peaceful death at johanna's request etc] #but they've come out of their suffering really differently (granted it was different types of suffering. but) #wow here i am asking for people's ideas and then just coming up with my own XD #anyway #wait two others: i'm fascinated by the potential dynamic of lucienne and the corinthian they only had like one short scene together in the #show but can you imagine. spending eons being loyal to dream and then going opposite directions with that loyalty. being among dream's inne #circle so to speak except lucienne is her own entity while corinthian was /created/ by dream. they have the most fascinating venn diagram o #personality traits and narrative positions... #secondly. and this is kind of crack. but like. imagine johanna and corinthian in the same room XD 'hi i'm an exorcist and this is my pet #serial killer' 'yeah my lord gave me a vacation to go kill some demons' why doesn't he try to kill johanna? bc she tried to destroy him #first time they met and he can't help but respect it XD

Of Godsons, Fruitloops, and Lois 'I will drag all secrets out into the sun' Lane

Danny loses his parents due to their own lack of safety in the lab (death? Coma? People finally putting their foot down about the Fenton's endangering their kids? Idk pick). Jazz can't take him in due to being in college and living on its campus (and he didnt want to force her into an apartment just to keep him, he saw the prices and knows she'll have to work to make rent) and Danny fears the only place he can go to is... Vlad. (Sam's parents would never let him live with her and Tucker's place doesn't have the room)

Vlad's been lording it over Danny, smug about it all, after all he IS Danny's godfather and he has the space and money to provide for the boy in his time of need.

Only, when digging into Danny's files, his social worker discovers Vlad isn't Danny's godfather, he was meant to be but the Fenton's forgot to send/sign in the final paperwork (even if those documents were the only contact they had with Vlad over the years before the reunion)

No Danny's godparent, the person to take him should anything happen to the Fenton's is....

Lois Lane.

His mom's childhood friend.

getting sad thinking about the dialects I would have known/spoken had it not been for the devaluation of “non-standard” variations of a language

#another reason why prescriptivism is the devil #it’s just. both my grandparents on my dad’s side speak/spoke dialects but they didn’t really pass them on to my dad bc it would have #hindered him in school. but bc he knows so little of them he doesn’t really feel connected to them either and didn’t pass the bits he does #know on to me either #also bc my mum is a prescriptivist with a capital letter and thinks dialects aren’t ‘good dutch’ #which. girl. you literally didn’t learn your ancestors’ (for lack of better word) dialect either #oh also. I didn’t learn the dialect of the city I was born in either bc we moved away before I could #elli rambles #it just. makes me sad #all this linguistic diversity harmed by standardisation and the idea that the only purpose of a language is to communicate with as many #people as possible. while it’s such an important part of culture too #etc etc sorry I’m rambling #languageposting #why is this getting notes

June was the only woman older than Katara and Suki to show up and help the Gaang in the finale and I think that’s ridiculous. We could have seen Yagoda and the Herbalist in the White Lotus (and Miyuki!! She has a cute miniature lotus collar). Perhaps even Haru’s mom showing up somewhere??  IDK the lack of older ladies as respected guides and teachers is irksome and until further notice I’m headcanoning out of spite that they were there we just didn’t see their scenes but they were there dammit

#atla meta #look I love the old men #they are such blorbos #but Yagoda and Hama as teachers? #they really got the short end of the stick #Yagoda gets forgotten even when Katara becomes a successful healer bc Katara didn't want to go to her class therefore the class sucked #which is ass #and then Hama was a victim of the Fire Nation who began harming citizens and forced Katara to learn a perverse sub-bending ability #don't get me wrong I love the ideas for bloodbending especially the thought of it as a medical aid but the way it was introduced #and forcing Katara to learn it the way she did was traumatic to her #We get barely any lady teachers older than the girls in the Gaang and that's really sad #and this sort of ties into Ursa's lack of complete character and the lack of guiding maternal figures #and how there's hardly any mention of the wives and mothers in the FN royal family and their characters #whoops I'm starting to ramble

[nothorses]

I keep seeing stuff in online queer groups about gender abolition, but in the sense of people wanting to abolish gender identity itself instead of just gender roles, and honestly as a trans masc it's really scary to see stuff like that being pushed around because even if there wasn't any words to describe being trans, it's still a feeling that people would feel

Anyways sorry to vent its just really scary because it seems like radfem rhetoric is inching its way into the queer community

Yeah, that's one of those things that I honestly tend to see a lot in real-life progressive spaces mostly dominated by young queer folks. I have met a lot of very young nonbinary people who are genuinely accepting of all trans people- at least in theory and goal- but who also haven't thought super critically about gender theory, and end up projecting their own feelings about gender (and what they've seen/heard in punchy little soundbites on twitter and tiktok) onto the rest of the world.

I think it arises when those personal feelings meet subtle radfem rhetoric and folks just do not know enough to catch that, or don't think to examine it more critically. And it sucks. And I also think they're often well-intentioned people who do not want to do harm to other trans people, and who's ideas tend to evolve pretty quickly once they have some better ones to move towards (though I have certainly met people who aren't and don't. people are people).

I also don't want to imply that this phenomenon is exclusive to nonbinary people. Aside from the fact that plenty of cis queer people also believe this, and that it originates in radfem and TERF rhetoric to begin with, there are plenty of other examples of trans people projecting their experiences onto everyone else: transmedicalism is a great example.

#ngl this is one of the reasons I'm growing more incredulous of the idea of like. 'binary privilege' or whatever #aside from the fact that it misunderstands how trans people are viewed in general by cis society #I also don't really know if I believe that it's privilege/oppression rather than like. ignorance and lateral aggression #the dynamic is harmful but do 'binary' trans people really hold systemic power over nonbinary people #or like trans women and trans men is this just a difference in experiences and systemic targeting by cis society
