#not only should you not defend her

[letthisbeyourgreatest]

The lack of backlash from Taylor Swift fans against her for her MASSIVE contribution to climate change is proof that fandoms function more like cults than fan bases. They're spending more time defending/rationalizing it than facing the fact that she's completely out of touch of the cottagecore image she's selling. We are on a DYING planet. NONE of the celebs we stan will save it. The only way we can control the rich is by hitting them where it hurts: their reputation and profits.

#not only should you not defend her #you should actually boycott her #this is insane #i cant believe ppl who are living on a dying planet are defending ppl who are accelerating its death #you need help #taylor swift #swifties #pollution #climate change #private jets #nur talks sometimes

meg baby, I promise we’ll all look the other way if you decide to strangle that chimera ant built bitch. I promise we won’t say nothing.

#nicki got to be one of the nastiest bitches I’ve ever seen in my life #you ain’t had a fucking hit in 10 yrs good enough to act the way you do #it’s crazy it took her being so vile to meg for ppl to get it #it’s always ‘protect blk women’ w/her until it’s somebody she don’t like lmao #and her only beef with her is that she collabed with cardi #the only one who stuck by her side mind you so ofc she #she’s been terrible and I remember back in 2017 when ppl jumped me for ‘defending a Latina woman’ over her #the same bitch that co opted a hashtag meant for missing and murdered blk women for her own bullshit #while cardi was using her platform to speak up for breonna Taylor and police brutality? oh okay #she’s a nasty witch and her karma will come #rap beef aside #‘how you got 3 Grammys and can’t stay on beat?’ #how are you the supposed queen and been rapping since Jesus was in Jerusalem but have zero? #bringing up her dead mother..you deserve to rot #cherry chats 🍒 #I’m so happy cardi no longer feeds into her bullshit and lets her stupid ass talk to the wall #all the new girls are outshining her and I’m so glad they don’t have to grovel to her #the fact that these girls just came out and are her competition says more abt nicki than it does Meg cardi latto or anybody else #her peers should be missy kim queen latifah etc #and yet she’s linking up with 23 year olds and beefing with girls 20 years her junior #guess that predator spirit run in the family huh

since ive already been pretty open about this and im not afraid to whack a hornets nest i'll go ahead and say it: if you were raising a kid in a pseudo-apocalyptic setting and then you found out that said kid was going to be the one to defeat the eldritch god that you have tried to defeat for half your lifetime and could never manage. that she was going to FACE that eldritch god it was prophesied. you would teach her how to defend herself and how to fight. like god i am not saying hero's trauma from it wasn't justified because i do think the twins took it too far but the initial process of training her makes so much more sense if you approach it at the angle of "this kid is going to do something we've been trying to do since we were twelve and couldn't manage and we might not even be there to help her so we have to make sure she doesn't die in the process" and not "we're going to make her fix our mistakes" it makes sense. goes along with lark's running theme of not being strong enough in the moments that matter and wanting to make sure nobody else ever feels as helpless as he did when walter was injured. goes along with sparrow desperately tempting fate with normal's name- not because normal was an accident, but because sparrow never wanted to lose even one kid to the doodler and it was a fervent, desperate wish to let normal get to be normal

#dndads #kasey rambles #sorry im feeling especially spiteful today #cause again i do think. the twins get the least amount of nuance from the fandom #tell me how yall were just fighting for glenn so hard and then you turn around and tell me that the twins are evil monsters skahsdkfhkdhsf #like idk. it makes sense to me! #if hero was supposed to fight the doodler but they dont know WHEN it would happen. theyd train her early #make sure it was a fight she could win #and thats also why shes NOT in the chosen one position anymore #she wanted to leave and now that she could reasonably defend herself should she be threatened. its fine! #if they really only wanted her to fix their mistakes she would not have been allowed to leave. lmao #again this isn't to say that she wasn't traumatized from the experience like. #i think the twins shouldve been honest with her and there shouldnt have been so much pressure #but i get why they felt the need to make sure she could handle herself in a fight so early on #also like. this kind of thing happens in so many post apocalyptic settings its not even uncommon #yall just dont see this world as being post apocalyptic and it shows LMAO

[scintillyyy]

honestly, though. sometimes when the drakes are discussed it does seem a little "oh, they never would never do <insert terrible fanon trait here>, they just <insert a different trait they....also never really did and is actually kind of contradicted by canon? here>"

#honestly i'm usually fairly forgiving about the second because i'm sure i'm guilty of it too lmao #and it's also like. that's usually more of personal intepretation/reading thing which should have different viewpoints #variety is the spice of life and all #& i like defending the drakes AND talking about how they failed #but sometimes the thing that is confidently stated they do instead is something canon directly contradicts. #they never would force feed him something he's allergic to #they would just have super strict expectations of his behavior & not be affectionate #meanwhile the expectations are limited to don't wear a t-shirt to a wedding rehearsal and jack is shown hugging tim like every 5 issues #(and janet is dead and can have no expectations but the only time we see her she's like “you can be whatever you want to be sweetie :)”) #and they are shown having a very iconic outing with him and they treat him nice & want him to have a good time & are very loving #i too want to swing the pendulum the other way but that second one does apply to both good and bad traits lmao #“jack was just trying to get close to his son” well. no he really wasn't. #or “jack never cared about his son & never tried to listen to him” well that's not exactly true either #god i love them. my polarizing flawed family.

i think one of the most disappointing things is to see that your childhood friends have grown up to represent the kind of people you're disappointed in

#had a friendship break up w like one of my entire friend groups of six ppl? #found out that one of the girls in our friend group had sent screenshots of our private conversation about smth I was hurt over #to a gc with our other friends (but not me ofc) #and they all proceeded to talk shit about me :// I swear the way my stomach dropped when the friend I was having the convo w #sent me screenshots of what our mutual friends were saying about me #she knew how much it would hurt me but still did it just to prove a point (though I'm certain she misrepresented our conversation + my word #to them considering she blocked out what she had initially said to them lol) #my stomach hasn't dropped like that since high school #which is exactly where I thought we left this kind of deceitful behaviour. like how are you guys twenty one and still sending screenshots #and talking bad behind only one (1) friend's back when you know she can't defend herself in that space #I immediately texted our collective gc to explain a text she had sent but failed to give context for #then told them if I'm as selfish as they say I will leave this friend group. and then I left that gc #I also texted two friends who I knew were talking shit and I sent them the screenshots that first “friend” sent and pointed out how #she blocked out what she said so I'm suspicious that she skewed our conversation so they (the two other “friends”) should be wary #I told them I understood it was fair game to stoop. this low considering neither of them tried to reach out to me to hear my side #or defend me + my privacy #for context: the original argument was me voicing out that I was upset bc that first “friend” had invited and planned with with our friend #group an event that landed on my birthday without checking in with me if I was planning to spend time with them that day #and she kept defending herself and saying she didn't know I'd plan smth (probably bc my bday is two months away lmao) and she said #the event they'd be attending is just as important and necessary as being there for my birthday?? it's literally just a party her brother #(who none of us are close to lol) is DJing at. and I brought up how I'm their close friend (not her brother) and it's not fair to call #it equally necessary. but I suspect she skewed what I said greatly considering all of our friends started calling me selfish and unfair #but yeah v v crazy and hurtful and just astonishing #salmaspeaks

if anybody on this goddamn show deserves to have a completely stress free wedding, where not one! single thing!! goes wrong!!!! it's tim and lucy.

#*carly catalogs #i'm gonna say it with my full chest 'NO SHENANIGANS' #ABSOLUTELY NONE OKAYYYYY??????????? #i don't need to watch anymore of lucy spiraling (we're only 3eps into s6 and i have had enough) #if she didn't get first on the detectives exam then she at least deserved to land in the top 5 #they treated her so unfairly and were so short with her i wanted to leap through my tv screen #if i have to witness her spiraling like that OVER OR ON HER WEDDING DAY??????????? #i'll start a riot I AM LUCY CHEN'S N. 1 DEFENDER (behind tim of course) #she deserves nothing but the most lovely peaceful wedding day filled with joy #the rookie #tim bradford #lucy chen #chenford #otp: you know me so well #this also goes for when she gets pregnant too #s3 was the most stressful season of the show just for the sheer amount of times angela had a gun pointed at her and was shot at #and even harper had to deal with a home invasion from a violent criminal while she was in labor #the only hiccup lucy should have is being forced to have her baby on the breakroom couch at the precinct to parallel ep 1x19

ik i call out winx fans here a lot for racism but like,, the fan space here is genuinely so much better than any other social media. i've been looking at winx edits on tiktok and holy shit they're all so fucking mean?? every single comment section is just full of people complaining about how much they hate Insert Character Here, there's constant fighting between the editors, so much misinformation,,, its so bad!! even though there are people here who aren't as fond of certain characters, they mostly keep it to themselves and at the very least don't fight with other fans about it. like,, the fandom here is just full of really creative people who bonded over liking winx, which is what fandom should be, but the tiktok teens turned it into some pissing contest about which character is better. i'm so glad fans here aren't like that god it'd be so miserable

#like the only real issue is racism here #which still bad but at least its mostly just that #everywhere else like tiktok twitter instgram is full of racism And kids fighting each other #OO it's bad y'all #why are they like that ??? #like i dont understand aljdgjkda #also the hypocrisy when defending their faves while bashing other characters for the same thing #oo i hate flora she's so weak oh but you can't say that about bloom the writers just nerfed her for plot reasons!! #ooo i hate bloom all she does is complain about her life but musa really should talk about her mom more than she already does!! #like its so miserable #theyre All cuties why pit bad bitches against each other !! #its so weird like ive seen multiple accounts dedicated to just being bitchy about a certain character #dont they have school or something 😭

Lol h*rry p*tter Twitter is mad at me for saying percy jackson would hate the guy immediately on account of him being a cop (without even knowing he’s a slave owner) and it’s very very funny

especially since a bunch of them are accusing me of never reading the h*p books like babes I read that series like 20 times before finding out joanne koanne roanne was Like That™

#morgan murmurs #pjo and hp were my special interests #and now it’s just pjo because I dropped hp immediately #and now I’m analyzing problems with hp I defended and ignored before #with pjo I’ve never really defended any of the issues because they are numerous and like #they’re there #but if Richard suddenly began advocating for trans genocide #I’d drop pjo too even if it would hurt like a bitch because it’s literally my audhd special interest that my brain hyperfixates on #luckily Richard for all his faults does NOT think that trans people should die which is the bare minimum #but ANYWAY #if you follow me or like my fanfic and like hp I’m not gonna like…….. #hate you or tell you what to do #but having a trans partner and being the token cis in my main friend group #I majorly side eye people who continue to contribute to the fandom publicly #especially after jolyne rolling explicitly said she sees any support for her works as support for her beliefs #death of the author unfortunately only works if the author in question is no longer profiting off of support or engagement #anyway people are being unhinged at me on Twitter dot com #as usual

whats up with the way matt and amanda frame their posts?

let me start by saying that i really appreciate the fact that they stand up for her and defend her against haters; it's sweet that as her friends they show support to her and all that stuff. she gets a lot of unnecessary hate and it's good that they have her back.

however. amanda has a tendency to hyperbole that makes everything she says seem so exaggerated, always calling her by superlatives, an angel, "woman of my dreams", amelia "worshiping" her, "everyone's favourite", both her AND matt calling her his sister??? you end up not being able to take her support that seriously lmao. i get that she's trying to do good because they're friends, and it's nice that she does what she does, but she's so dramatic and passive-aggressive with it sometimes

and then matt... idk wtf happened to him lately because he was always so silent on drama regarding their social circle (he was always kinda lowkey on his socials in general) and then over the past year he's been so adamant on putting her on a pedestal like amanda does. it's not the first time he calls her his sister either, but again if they're close it's nice that he supports her. the only thing that kinda annoys me (and that has absolutely nothing to do with louise) is the "you know i'll get off of here again" shit he pulls every time. i just find it so childish of him because why are you punishing all your fanbase for something only a minority of people does. and why are you holding it over your fans' heads, threatening them to log off at the first chance you get. it's just a poor way of dealing with the problem that does nothing to actually solve it. just show her support without being bitchy with the passive-aggressive threats lmao

#again it's good that they stand up for her like yes go off!! tell haters to shut up!! defend your friend!! #but the way they deal with it is so poorly executed in terms of wording and we've all seen it only ends up having more of a negative effect #which in turn has repercussions not only on them and their relationship (see people starting to hate on amanda when she first started > #> beefing with random louise haters. people started to dig into her past and hating on her too + her being with matt) #but it also ironically ends up having the most negative repercussions on louise herself #which is sad because it makes the whole shitshow absolutely useless and they're all back to square one #obvs they can and should defend their friend from the stupid people leaving hate comments. just maybe do it in a more diplomatic tactful wa #possibly one that doesn't end up hurting her more and having the opposite effect to what you wanted to achieve #because again. she's the one ultimately paying for it and that's just sad #answered

my football team is so hopeless

#not dortmund lol i mean the club i play at myself #it makes me want to quit ngl #there are just so many things i'm fed up with #at times it's not fun anymore #i like playing football but there's just a lot wrong with this team #but i'm mostly just hanging around because i don't want to let my coach down like he cares and genuinly seems like a good coach #the only thing which gives me a bit of hope #and i hate letting people down 😅 that and also i hate giving up #but i have never seen a team more hopeless or felt more hopeless playing a sport 😅 #and he apparently thinks i'm kind of important to the team which i kind of get but also it doesn't really make a difference... #we're just so hopeless i can’t turn this around lol #i always start and i hope it continues but there's not much i can do #we just have too many people who don't care last match so many have given up #some of our team just refuse to run or move at some point it's awful #like why can't you try #we always loose so high like what's the point but still don't give up #besides that the endurance (and also sprint speed) of most is awful which could be trained to a point #but whenever the coach tries to do that almost no one shows up 💀 #and i usually play wing or outside midfielder but i'm supposed to also be a defender apparently what #whenever we get a goal on my side and i'm not back in defence someone moans at me like that's my fault #i get working back but i can’t be everywhere especially when some people don't move #and i actually try to get the ball foreward or try to get the ball back in the front because i don't give up when we're behind #i want to score goals and not settle with loosing and only sit back to do defence anymore #naturally there will be open spaces when i try to do that but how is giving up better even when it's hopeless we could still try scoring #and i can't be everywhere they should try my position they would never last 90min running like i do #besides i'm already exausted each week from my training before like i do sports 2-3 hours 6 or 7 days a week #unfortunately i have to because once again i'm trying some entrance exam (for sports to become a teach in sports and english hopefully) #asides from that i don't like most of the people at my club 😅 it feels a bit like highschool again and i didn't like highschool #so many are ignorant and judgemental #like the girl i told you about with her comment about the cleaning lady instead of wanting to clean up her stuff herself 🙄

[heart-bones]

absolutely reeling at the tswft saga today like I promise you don't have to defend her this much I understand but we're not gonna agree on it

#the never-exhausting lists of her lyrics being analyzed by ivy league specialists and how she writes for the human experience and #how if u dont like her its just misogyny and ignorance because just saying you dont like her style is saying you dont like any style #since she writes in every genre #and saying u dont like her is a statement #like its not that deep its going to be okay #i had to apologize because at one point i said 'i m eee a n 🤔' #and she got so upset #like girl its okay that its the one thing keeping you alive its okay that it's yours #i just need you to understand that its Not Mine!! #and its OKAY #we are livin on two different planets im not gonna make fun of you for your music taste? its preference! its taste! #i don't like her voice. what I've heard of her music is not anything i want to listen to #and i should be able to let that be my only contribution to the discussion without you trying to tell me I'm Wrong #please #she is a celebrity and i guarantee she does not care about you or how much you defend her

...It's kind of wild when the terf that you got into a fight with and had to write an essay on "Why violence is wrong" back in high school now works at the pharmacy where you get your medication from...

#I'm sorry for the vent I just am mad that she could be in a PHARMACY. I hope she's at least changed her ways. #she should not be working in health if she still thinks this way. #She definitely remembered me too. I don't think she could forget honestly. neither of us was injured btw. #It wasn't a “fight” in the way you think most fights are. she called this sweet trans boy the word rhymes with maggot (that's what she is) #a maggot. #while she was moving around a lot and idk. rage took over and I twisted her arm and she happened to fall and then I cussed her out #I probably over did it but moving her arms around while ranting and then calling him that just pushed me over. I WAS calm at first. #He was a shy and quiet kid and he “didn't want to make a big deal about it” so I tried to follow his request but... you know. #it was in theatre behind the curtains during rehearsal and everyone heard/saw so yea. I got into trouble. no detention surprisingly #it was a long time coming. she would constantly harass him with shit about how “You still look like a girl”. and using wrong pronouns #and teachers were told but they didnt' do shit. She also was just a mean person. This guy wasn't the only person she bullied #I only wrote on why VIOLENCE was wrong. not about what I did. The only thing I feel bad about is that I scared the poor guy I was defending #I don't remember what I said (I was that mad) but apparently I "picked her personality apart like a bunch of lego bricks and then told her #why the “lego brick” is fucked up“ He was just 14-15 and she was 18 btw😒literally harrassing a sweet KID. #was convenient though because all I had to do was give her a look and she would immediately back down. idk what I said when I yelled #at her but it was nice that I could do that whenever she would start shit #Mad rambles #idk y'all I'm scared that she's in HEALTH. if I know anything I'll see if I can report her because while I hope she wouldn't fuck with tran #folks medications idk for sure. she was really cruel back in high school. #vent #rant #I try not to post shit like this but I'm worried you know?

[aaobjectionposting-va4]

Ok but can we talk about how out of all the major male characters that Ryunosuke interacts with throughout the story, van Zieks is the ONLY one that isn't hiding something from/lying to him at one point or another?? Sholmes lies about Kazuma being alive, Kazuma hides the fact that he's going to Britain as a hired assassin, Yujin hides details about the Professor killings from him in 2-2, Stronghart lies about... Well, everything really. Like there's so much I could say about him lol. Gregson hides the fact that he helped frame Genshin for the Professor killings, McGilded lies about having been the culprit in the omnibus case, Jigoku lies about having been the one to kill Gregson... Etc etc. I personally can't remember a single point where van Zieks was hiding things from Ryuu or just straight up lying about important things to his face. He's an ass to him at first, sure, but he's ultimately on the side of justice and finding out the truth, even if it means hurting his cases or having his worldview challenged (except maybe in the case of Klint, which I'll get into).

Now one might say, "Oh but didn't he hide the fact that he had a brother from Ryunosuke at first?". And to that I say... So what? From van Zieks' point of view, details about his personal life (and ESPECIALLY about Klint) are hard to talk about and, frankly, Ryuu really had no reason to need that info about him, other than just to be nosy. That's why he's so cagey about the topic in 2-3, and why he's (somewhat) more willing to talk about it with him in 2-4/5, because at that point Ryunosuke absolutely DOES need to know more about Klint (and the Professor killings in general). And as for Ryuu's point of view, he really has no reason to be asking about van Zieks' personal life at first, other than the fact that he's just curious about it.

Anyways. I really do believe that, despite how rocky these two's dynamic is at first, it's been built on honesty and straightforward-ness from the start, and I really appreciate how we have an Ace Attorney prosecutor who's more than willing to not hide the truth from his lawyer rival (even if he's making dunks on Ryunosuke half the time, lol)

#GOD im so glad i finally wrote. something. about these two's dynamic #like their dynamic is so underrated and it sucks because it's so good like!! #as early as 1-3 these two are working towards finding the truth no matter what it may be. even if it means they might lose #ryuu in 1-3 openly admits that the omnibus was tampered with even though that may implicate his client #van zieks in as early as 1-4 not only gives evidence to the defense that he 100% didn't have to give #(and that would potentially cause him to lose the trial) #but he also calls out the actual culprit and makes it very clear that he won't tolerate her hiding things from the court #he does this in 1-5 as well with graydon.. and in 2-2 with ms green #i'm currently doing my second dgs playthrough and i'm at 2-3 so my memory there is a lil hazy lol #but i do remember that in 2-3 he had an absolutely insane premise for his case and probably sounded like an IDIOT to everyone there #and it 100% feels like it was a way to subtly tell ryuu 'hey mr naruhodo you're smart you should have 0 issue ripping my case apart' #(to be fair 2-3 saw his one friend as the defendant so that's probably why he went through all the effort. but still) #anyways im obsessed with their dynamic and y'all SLEEP on it goodbye #va4 rambles in the tags #vu's posts #tgaa #tgaa 2 spoilers #barok van zieks #ryunosuke naruhodo #also to y'all who ship them you can absolutely ship tag this lol. like im not a fan of the pairing i just like their dynamic platonically #but tbh if you wanna use this as ship fuel then honestly just go for it lmao #o shit i almost forgor... their dynamic tag omg #reaper/resolve
