#like that’s super weird lowkey

[marcotheflychair]

hey, italian here. just a question for all my american folks out there:

do y’all actually get diarrhea every time you eat spicy food?

because that doesn’t happen here in italy. or maybe that’s just me, but i’ve eaten spicy food many times before, so have my father and mother, and several of my friends have as well, and none of us had stomach issues afterwards.

just saying, this might be an american-only problem.

just thought i’d say it.

#america #american food #america needs help #spicy food #spice tolerance #american eating habits #italian eating habits #why do y’all get the shits when you eat spicy food tho #like that’s super weird lowkey #it might just be me but i definitely think that this is not an issue in italy #what y’all putting inside y’all’s food tf #also taking this as a chance to remind y’all that a lot of your most popular snacks are banned here

hello :) could you maybe explain a little bit how dan wootton blackmailed louis?

ugh sorry for taking a while to get to this. The problem is I feel like the only two ways to answer this are by spending a week and a half of full time labor sifting through old posts and evidence to get every detail right and lay out an airtight case, or to halfass something very serious, and so I felt a little stuck. So since I can't seem to find a good halfway point, apologies but here is the half assed version, if you want to get into it more I invite you to do your own deep dive or talk to other people, but here's how I remember things. Louis has almost never on video explicitly said things about Larry not being real and/or anything negative about fans and their theories (mostly the opposite), up until the last couple years when he obviously decided to make a major change he didn't talk about Freddie much at all let alone saying he was his kid, honestly not that much about Eleanor even; except for in two major interviews with Dan Wootton, each of which lined up with a serious traumatic Tomlinson family event that they managed to keep out of the tabloids until the very end (Jay's illness and Fizzy's struggles with substance abuse). After the fact of those events a lot of small things that didn't make sense at the time came together to look very much like Louis traded those interviews (and those answers) for having his family's private matters kept private. Story trading of this kind is a publicly known real thing that happens, and there were various clues that suggested he was being leaned on about those stories to lend legitimacy to the idea that it was something that happened in these cases. Given what we know about Dan Wootton and how he operates even before the recent flood of information and even more now, I think it's more than likely that he has been holding the threat of outing Louis (as he has done to many other public figures) over his head for over a decade, and has used his family's tragic struggles to get Louis to dance like a fucking puppet for him and I will REJOICE at his downfall when it comes whether it is now or 20 years from now... because someday it will, he has made too many enemies to stay above it forever

#I did start to try to deep dive before I realized it was too much #but I was reminded that when Louis was doing txf as a judge while fizzy was struggling #many people thought he had been pressured somehow into it; later when we knew what had been going on people were like #oh maybe he just wanted to be close to home to deal with fizzy stuff or somethng #but also: keeping fizzy stuff quiet would potentially be the info we didn't have at that time that could answer that q too of what they use #given the DW🤝simon jones🤝simon cowell cursed connections #(for the newbies: simon jones aka DWs bestie is Louis' publicist for no apparent reason even now long after he has gotten free of the rest #of the modest/syco/simon cowell shitshow) #anyway another example of story trading in our fandom is zayn's baby sister's teen pregnancy #which was known to the fandom early on but kept super quiet by respectful fans- during this time Z did some unprecedented actual interviews #for no obvious reason #and then iirc pretty much the day she turned 17 a very lowkey article reported on her marrying her bf and mentioning a pregnancy #but as if it was recent not like 7 months along #and even when she gave birth soon after it was all kind of... glossed over and around and not reported until a little later #blah blah blah #I felt like it was weird to talk about this for some reason but when I thought about it #I don't know if it matters. Like maybe talking about him not being a dad and being gay or whatever at all is bad #but assuming we're doing that anyway. why not talk about the struggles around that #and the creeps holding it over his head #dan wootton

if you think there should be an upper age limit for holding office your politics are based on finding the right people to discriminate against and you're annoying. there are other far better ways to determine if a person is competent enough to hold office

#lowkey weird as fuck how y'all are super cool discriminating against disabled people as long as theyre old #the mitch mcconnell thing is making people stupid. first of all that man was absolutely having a seizure or TIA or something #i mean fuck him and if he dies thats a ok with me but first of all thats kind of scary no matter who it is #and 2nd of all its absolutely not exclusive to old people #old people are also like human people with needs and interests to protect. less diversity is literally never the solution #what we need is more people of ALL ages not just no old people whatsoever lmao what the fuck is wrong with you people #youve seriously never met a mentally competent person over age 75?? i knew a guy who died at 94 #and couldve handle the presidency up until like age 92. dude was sharper than most 25 year olds #conversely i know 27 year olds who are less mentally and physically competent than mitch mcconnell :/ #to be clear tho i also think 18-35 year olds should be able to be president because fuck it am i right

for no fucking reason: real life dictatorships in the 20th and 21th centuries are almost always allowed to thrive because of some empire's interests. If not, they get heavily demonized then dismantled by said empire over a relatively short period of time (unless exceptional circumstances, tho it's almost always applicable). the examples are countless; please read declassified reports and interviews from the CIA/KGB/other intelligence agencies across the world to lose your mind about it, especially those involving what happened during the Cold War and what happened in the Middle East (and still does).

characters like ganondorf are the epitomy of the fantasy that colonized/"exotic" countries naturally spawn evil incarnate and must be controlled/stumped/imprisoned/destroyed by the "responsible ones" while the perfect good place is perfect and utterly blameless about what went down and how the local population suffered (which, in real life, the empires of the world are most definitively not that --the amount of dictators that were ushered into power by western interests is staggering and we fucking love to see it don't we). And also, a blameless victim to whichever retribution eventually comes back their way.

It is a rethoric that denies interconnectivity and historical responsibility.

this is what I criticize about the narrative choices of a fictional conflict that *does not exist in real life* and has been entirely made up by human beings: the cowardice of blamelessness, and what little this kind of narrative brings to the table --especially today when we should be looking at the root cause of broken systems of violence instead of endlessly scapegoating minorities.

and well, especially given how effective this narrative apparently seems to be.

#thoughts #totk critical #zelda fandom critical #deactivated the reblog for this one gang #because I already spoke about that a billion times and I don't want to go back on that particular caroussel #but it is very! very frustrating that people's political ignorance makes them so brazenly hostile #even though we probably are on the same side and we could support each other in other circumstances #but I guess it's more ??? interesting to project a weird ass persona onto people you refuse to understand or show empathy for #like my grandparents lived under nazi occupation and my father grew up under a military dictatorship #a family cousin was literally thrown into the ocean from a helicopter #I am far from unfamiliar with the violence of a fascist Strongman and the marks they leave behind #had to deal with that generational trauma from both sides of the family! nice + fun #and I guess I still have the opinions I have??? incredible #almost like I didn't hold onto the first gut reaction I ever had or something #almost like the world is complicated and I expect fiction (yes even fiction for 12 yo and up) to acknowledge that fact #((sorry if I'm uhh a little bitter and not super gracious)) #((but I was already having a bad week)) #((and I suppose being called disgusting and lowkey fascist-apologist over liking a goddamn nintendo character will do that do you))

is it bad that leon kinda got ruined for me because of both those weird fans that would kinda go overboard AND the overexposure of him as of recent? like i think leon is super cool and i love how they flesh out his character in re4r and how he treats the different characters but every time i see him now my face drops.

i could only wish some characters in the series would get the attention that leon does by some of the fans and capcom :/

like i really want to appreciate leon but it’s so damn hard cause i’m actually so tired of seeing him all the time getting all the attention while other, lesser used characters sit in the dark.

#catch me writhing on the floor cause birkin is dead and nobody gaf abt him no more ☹️ #also we need to bring back sheva?? she’s bsaa right? #and in re8 the main story ended with bsaa using bioweapons #like she could totally be brought back for that #glad they’re bringing jill back though for the movie. same with rebecca and claire #yeah.. they all look the same as when they were super young but.. #capcom doesn’t like aging their women don’t worry about it #you cowards bring back joe baker #he’d single handedly kill everybody in the re franchise (copium) #oh yeah also leon fans #that’s it i just don’t like some of them they lowkey weird af #leon is a grown ass man not a helpless baby #stop infantilizing him especially re2 leon

quick indulging in some stede angst while i procrastinate on finishing my piece on e5

i’m consistently fucked up over the blacked out form that used to be stede in the family portrait, and the metaphor it provides about the way stede handled his life and trauma: everything’s pretend. he’s not truly there, he’s living a story in his head in ways both lovely and inadvertently cruel.

lovely: looking at the world and demanding it bend to his delusional belief things could ever be other than they are. that it could be better.

inadvertently cruel: leaving mary and the kids (leaving ed) to wonder: was it me? if i was better, if i had been kinder or a more supportive wife, a better behaved child or a co-captain with less baggage or a better man, would he have stayed? would i have been worth staying for?

stede’s got a whole basketful of reasons he leaves without explaining why in both cases. but he does leave, and he doesn’t explain: those actions ripple out and hurt the people he leaves.

but also, we know stede’s general self-worth is under the fucking ground!!! less than zero!!! he has absolutely no inkling that his absence might affect someone just as much as his presence. he thinks: i am a burden people suffer. when i remove myself from their lives, i am ultimately making those lives easier, in heartbreaking part because he cannot imagine a world in which somebody actually wants him around.

i know i’m a big old hippie and a reconciliation will come faster than we might think truther, but goddamn i just want ed and stede to have the mutual validation moment! because ed needs to hear “it was never about not wanting you or not wanting to be with you, it was a gross cocktail of trauma and old fears and chauncey being a walking nightmare in so, so many ways” from stede and stede needs to hear “you leaving me? fucked me up real good in ways we may need to do some work to overcome, but only because you are somebody i always want to be around, even when things are not pleasant and conflict-free, all forever-like” from ed asa-fucking-p.

#look i love me some angst but like. i want these two to be back on the same page so much i could leap into the sun over it #this is my hopeful pirate show about: what if life could be better and people kinder #and ultimately i ask myself: what do ed and stede actually want #to punish each other for harm done or to find a way to heal and move forward #i’m super biased because i think that shit is just a waste of time and weird jesus shit in a party hat #why demand people who hurt you hurt in turn? how is more pain ever the answer? etc #it feels good in the same way mickey d’s fries taste good #piping hot: lowkey addictive #once the immediate rush fades and the fries cool: suddenly they taste lowkey gross #punishing people feels right for reasons i try to identify in myself and fight against #i try and remind myself cruelty can never ever be the point #or i’m just everything i hate with better policy positions etc

charlie's comment on how mac's hatred of women later became a thing stemming from his sexuality and how both dennis and charlie need to do some self-reflection as to why they also hate women is really interesting to me, especially since I have come to the conclusion that charlie is probably asexual?

with dennis, it could definitely be a thing of either him being gay or he genuinely hates women and wants to turn them into skin luggage, but charlie hating women because he simply hates everyone as an asexual person would really be fantastic. we don't get that much representation as it is, so having just that insane pepe silvia white trash green man representing us would be welcomed with open arms, honestly.

#i am lowkey tired of the fanfic representation of ace characters where they only exist to define asexuality to the audience #then disappear or weirdly offer relationship advice as like the third wheel #like with mac charlie would not change at all as a character because this is really just how he is #plus i love the defense of people bringing up his obsession with the waitress #i also had a weird obsessive thing when i was in sixth grade where i just talked to this boy nonstop online for like two days i guess #as i look back on that super cringey moment now i recognize that i didn't really have feelings for him but i just was trying to do #what i thought i was supposed to do when i had what i perceived to be romantic feelings for another person #and i can see charlie doing the exact same thing where it's like he just doesn't understand how relationships or romance or sex works #because that's not who he is! he's just trying to overcompensate for his lack of any attraction to anyone! #anyway #charlie kelly #always sunny podcast
