I feel bad for Joe Alwyn bc the dude literally never does anything to attract media attention and yet Taylor and her posse will not leave him alone. She has such a high school mean girl mentality and the older she is the sadder it gets.

I’m sorry but I do not believe anyone who says they love Lucien and at the same time ship him with Vassa. Why would you ship him with a human he will outlive by centuries? Sjm has made it clear that the mating bond is rare and cherished among fae. And Lucien clearly longs for a relationship with Elain. If you love Lucien so much why don’t you want him to have that epic, fated love? 🤨

it is literally so insane to me that katara directly says "i don't want to heal, i want to fight" in the waterbending master and people decide to either ignore her saying that or completely discount it as her just wanting to fight bc of the war to justify the butchery of her character in legend of korra.

i love seeing milevens say “mike isn’t in love with will” and all i think about is the van scene and the way he looks at will and he has never EVER looked at eleven with that much love and care and passion.
it makes me laugh and giggle and be like “bitch guess what i have some news for u”

hm i really hope that someone has said this better than me but the betterhelp ads (specifically the video ones, as the podcast ones tend to be less scripted) are such poignant examples of alienation + the role of 'go to therapy' in perpetuating that alienation. keep in mind that, if you personally found a therapist who is genuinely healing for you + that therapist happens to be through betterhelp- i'm genuinely happy for you + that experience does not invalidate anything i have to say below! (but jsyk they're trying to sell your shit to facebook lol)
starting strong w/ the fact that betterhelp is essentially the uber of therapy (aka using an independent contractor model which is harmful + predatory towards its providers), rushing in to fill the market on largely uninsured and/or uninformed ppl who want the ease of a concierge system without the cost + lacks a meaningful supervision system (which led to one gay man being recommended a conversion therapist when he asked for someone to help with his identity struggles, btw!). smarter people than me have written about the ways in which these trendy independent contractor apps strip people of labor rights, fail to provide adequate wages, + in the case of healthcare apps, increase digital surveillance + decrease accountability demanded from providers while exploiting the failure of the US healthcare system in order to churn a profit w/o actually creating sustainable, equitable change.
the betterhelp video ads all circle around a theme- a millennial starts talking about some form of emotional pain or worry, usually relatively standard existential worries ("do you ever think nothing has meaning?") or life worries ("i hate my job" "i think i'm gay"). their friends or the ppl around them respond blankly + coldly, looking at them like they're crazy. while i understand these ads are supposed to be tongue in cheek, they demonstrate the crushing reality of our alienation from one another- the solution to your friends responding to your evident pain with confusion + apathy is to confine that pain to a therapy session! nobody wants to hear your struggles or understands them- come generate profits for us by facetiming a newly graduated 24 year old who can barely make rent!
this theme fits well with what already put me off about betterhelp's marketing- their goal has never been to provide access to therapy for those who want it or to altruistically fill in some healthcare gap. their goal, bolstered by the rise in emotional suffering following, you know, the worldwide pandemic, is to generate + increase demand for therapy as a commodity. their earlier podcast ads focused on convincing others that therapy "isn't just for crazy ppl" + "everyone should be in therapy". regardless of if you personally agree with that statement, it should be evident that this is a blatant marketing tactic in which therapy is a commodity to be peddled, not an offer of support or healing. in fact, they're probably actively shying away from treating "crazy people", bcuz their flimsy support systems could not possibly handle an influx of ppl regularly in crisis or experiencing breaks with a common reality. their target audience is your average millennial under late capitalism + post COVID - anxious, lonely, vaguely depressed, unhappy with their jobs, worried + hopeless about their futures.
i'm not here to tell anyone not to get therapy. that's a personal decision + is none of my fucking business. it's about questioning the total alienation we feel from one another, such that pouring our heart our unexpectedly to a friend + being met with a blank stare is framed as "haha you need therapy" + not "it's crushing that this is how distant we are from one another". it's about a company noticing that (unfortunately very real) distance + fear of vulnerability + using that to direct our emotions into the confines of a business transaction under abusive labor conditions. it's about a world in which we are not engaging with one another emotionally (despite, or i guess bcuz of: widespread suffering, recent mass death, class warfare/untenable working conditions, increased pressure of fascist politics, generational trauma + abuse, etc etc). commodifying therapy isn't going to make that loneliness go away- it's going to normalize it.

So, someone in the "Katara deserves better" tag made a post saying that Katara deserves better than modern feminists condemning her for healing.
It was never about her healing (also we never condemn her, we condemn the men writing her). How many times do we have to say it? It's about her JUST healing when she always wanted to be a fighter. Some women (and men) in fiction might just want to heal/be meds. And that's fine. No one said it wasn't. We ARE saying that Katara wasn't one of those people.

This was literally her ENTIRE arc. You guys have to know that fighting is a crucial part of her character. You can't claim to be fans of Katara if you don't.

Jason todd fans are honestly incomprehensibly delusional. How is it that they think Jason, the character known for killing people, would not be a killer if bruce hadn't picked him up But all the other kids would be killers if bruce hadn't picked them up? The ones who are anti killing and value human life and second chances.... they're the ones who would become murderous maniacs instead of the actual murderous maniac. You can't make this shit up. They will throw away everyones characterization for jason.
That terrible white boy decided to hurt and kill people for his own version of justice, it's literally the only thing he's known for, and all his 'fans' are like nooooo my uwu literature theater nerd baby boy golden child that everyone loves would actually never do that!! He's so special and perfect and everyone respects and admires him because he tries so hard to be kind to people and he always helps people!!! And maybe he'll bitch and moan but he'll still cook your favorite meals on your bad days, even though he's never been shown to be a cook, and everyone loves to stay with him if they need to be away from the others, even though no one has ever thought of him as a safe place ever, and actually even though characters have to be written out of character to be brainwashed into hanging around him, he's such a trusted member of the community uh huh uh huh- like. Who is this? Huh? Who the fuck is this?

If Feysand and IC aren’t responsible for Spring and Summer being sieged by Hybern, even though they weakened Summer and threw Spring into chaos. Weakening defences and practically opening the gates for Hybern.
Then Tamlin isn’t responsible for Amarantha’s, his childhood predator and the woman who has sexually harassed him literal centuries’, actions.

i HATE the term shadow daddy. If a character is referred to as “shadow daddy” by someone you know its gonna be the most uninteresting, bland and probably shitty male character to ever exist. Bro does the bare minimum and everyone falls to their feet. Shadow daddy isnt a compliment its a warning to everyone else

I seriously pity Snape. When he expressed his enthusiasm about going Hogwarts to Lily when they were sitting in the train, leaving behind his sad family situation, hoping he would find happiness at Hogwarts. Little did he know, James Potter and Sirius Black were going to ruin his life and make his school-life miserable and hell-like.
Same 😭 he believed Hogwarts would be his safe haven and was so thrilled about getting away from his parents and having to deal with their arguing at home. But little did he know, he would come to face some of the most traumatic moments of his life at that school. (The way the chapter that was literally titled “Snape’s Worst Memory” took place at Hogwarts and happened bc of the Marauders even though he lived with abusive parents, hm Marauder stans I wonder what y’all have to say on this matter)
