#still shouldnt have been cancelled though

[moonjxsung]

STAR IM DEVASTATED so i have a priv twt acc right w some irls and this stay from stayville req-ed me a long time ago and i was soooo happy that i was mutuals w someone from stayville and i THOUGHT everything between us was cool? but today they unfollowed me and removed me as a follower and im devastated i dunno why they did that :((( i don't think they had a problem w me saying nsfw stuff cuz they previously tweeted things like "cancelling someone over saying smth nsfw abt an adult is stupid" and also ive seen them interact w nsfw minsung posts so i dunno if me tweeting smth like "i wanna suck flxs cock sooooo bad" couldve made them wanna break the mutual??? i dmed them too and i was like "heyy is there a reason you don't wanna be moots w me anymore </3" and not even minutes later they turned off their message perms and im devastated. its STUPID bcs they'd barely interact w me Sure but it felt nice to have a stay be my friend on my priv twt that's usually just for my irls and i </3 it's ironic that they did that too bcs just earlier today (before they broke the mutual) i noticed that my followers went down (i have a very low amt already. like. 25. not even joking) and i tweeted "yall dont wanan be friends w me anymore </3" bcs like. my followers are QUITE LITERALLY only my irls + a skz writer so i was (i think rightfully??) alarmed that the number went down!!!! man im just Sad about it and SIIIGH i know i shouldnt care so much bcs at the end of the day they're just a person online but the least they could've done was dm me back and explain why and GHFSDDSJHFKJADDSDSAAAAA you get me!?!! also im sorry i dropped this on you randomly feel free to ignore LMAAOOAOAO can i be 💫 anon? thank yew <3

(Adding 💫 to the anon list!!! Also fun fact that’s my favorite emoji of all time. Slay)

I feel like I’m the LAST person who should be giving advice abt this bc one of my mutuals and a very good friend of mine who I’d been talking to every day randomly blocked me on everything this week after me literally being there to console this person for every little thing and playing into this pretend homoerotic friendship we had even though she was clearly looking for another boyfriend and would get mad if I even called another girl pretty (???) I wish nothing but the absolute best for her but like…. The double standard is WILD. to not provide closure to a months-long friendship is just genuinely a very mean spirited thing to do imo.

(If she’s reading this, best of luck with everything and I hope you know I cared for you a lot more than you think I did. I distanced myself because you were clearly looking for someone to fill a void in your life that I could simply not fulfill, and I didn’t want to lead you on, nor be kept around like I wasn’t allowed to talk to other girls either. Regardless, I hope you know I used to sleep with my phone on full volume in case you called, and I deleted a page worth of poetry in my notes app for you I meant to deliver on your birthday. I also deleted your number so I have zero way of contacting you, but I will always be here if you need me. Take care and I love you always, I hope you still see me when you look up at the moon)

It’s not the first time I’ve lost an internet friend to the magical world of blocking, but fortunately the attitude I’ve developed towards it is that none of this is real!!! These are people on the internet miles away you’ve never met irl and they have no real impact in your life whether they remain following you or not. I’ve lost internet friends nearly a decade ago that I don’t even remember anymore. Better ones will come along!!! Especially stays! This fandom has so many beautiful remarkable people who are actually worth following and they wouldn’t cut you off like that. Sending so many positive vibes your way and I KNOW that the universe will send you some better mutuals. In the meanwhile I will be your internet bestie and I would never unfollow you for nsfw content or without some form of an explanation. And I also want to suck Felix’s dick. 🩷🫶

(I love you, don’t be so hard on yourself!!!! You’re wonderful, angel 🩷 anyone would be lucky to be moots with you)

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION INCOMING (love the anon button, hehehe)

I’m not justifying Rachel saying the N word, I saw the video, she was with a friend, and they were singing to a rap song to baby Briar, she looked about 1 ish, maybe younger. I’m just saying that it was around 9 years ago and a lot of us who weren’t celebs were saying it to.

I mean as a POC myself (British Pakistani), you can tell when someone is saying it as an insult or as a joke. They SHOULDNT say it, but if they don’t mean it in a malicious way, it’s not that deep, yk? I had a white friendly say “you’ve really embraced your inner paki” once and I did feel a bit… weird, but I know he wasn’t being racist. I understand that for some people, racial slurs are trauma, so maybe they have boundaries and prefer ppl not to say it as a personal preference, that’s fine. We don’t need to end someone or call up their universities and get them kicked out just because they maybe didn’t know better at the time, though. Only if they’re being intentionally mean and using your race as a way to empower and dominate themselves, and those people are wankers.

I will admit that I do like Rachel. I know she gets cancelled a lot for being pretty unfiltered on her podcast, but as someone who bloody struggles to keep my mouth shut, and I accidentally upset people when that’s NEVER my intention, I’m just blunt with my humour or maybe I don’t read the room right before I open my gob. I like her, I can resonate with her. She shouldn’t have been cancelled for saying she didn’t have an orgasm till she was 38. Or lost a sponsor cos she said “I wanna be fucking manhandled”, nearly every woman wants to be manhandled.

JUST MY OPINION

yes the video of her using the n word was a while ago and she wasn't using it maliciously but we don't know if she's said it multiple times before or even after that video was taken. there's not a single person on this planet who doesn't know that the n word is a terrible word to use so she fully had the decision to not say it.

i also feel like just because if a non poc is making a little joke, it still shouldn't really be said because it's not their place? like there's definitely a line that white people can cross with telling certain jokes and stuff like that.

personally as someone who's half black i just feel like anyone who ISN'T black shouldn't be saying the n word at all, and if you're not black you can't really decide if it's really as deep as it seems.

idk i just feel like we don't know rachel very well and we don't know how she is around her friends.

what’s your take or do you think disney fans can still like pocahontas even though it’s faced MUCH criticism for going so far off the original story and being extremely disrespectful? or even if she should still be in the disney princess line? i grew up with the movie and still like it but apart of me thinks i shouldnt because of how (again) disrespectful it is to the original story as well as her ancestors

This is honestly something I think about a lot and- just as a disclaimer, I am not a Native American person so my voice contributes nothing to this conversation, but...personally, I like seeing Pocahontas's inclusion in the Disney Princess lineup. I think she substitutes as a gateway for people to start researching about her and Native American culture and I think, as the years go on, the inaccuracies of her film just make people that much more motivated to learn from history and not repeat it, but also make sure they do know what the true stories were? There's honestly little to no Native American representation around and...I understand pulling her, because there have been descendants of hers who have asked Disney stop using her likeness...but the voice actress of Pocahontas for her speaking parts, who is Native American and has played Pocahontas more than once on film, has said that- while inaccurate- she thinks the film captures the spirit of Pocahontas and the messages in the films are positive ones. Plus, again, by pulling Pocahontas, you are limiting the representation for Native Americans drastically both in Disney and in media in general so it could really go both ways in terms of whether the repercussions would be positive or negative.

Ultimately, I honestly think Disney is still messing up in major ways (having a white British Prince Eric in a live action Little Mermaid that's set in the Caribbean is so tone deaf and I honestly don't know why Disney is allergic to portraying black men or men of color EVER and this is an issue that's literally still going on in 2023) and, ultimately, supporting a character of color is never a bad thing in my opinion? Pocahontas brings a fresh perspective, a great design, incredible music, and- again- allows people a gateway to interact and learn more about Native American culture. I, personally, don't think they should cancel the movie- what I think they should do is make a television series about her, as they're doing with Tiana and Moana, and set it in pre-colonization times (please lol) and have it focus on Pocahontas's history and her tribe, their customs, fun moments with Nakoma, and that would be a beautiful way to depict appreciation for the culture and the people and would totally avoid the whitewashed history. I hope it retains its mature tone from the movie though and doesn't resemble the recent projects that Disney has come out with, that feel very immature, so that adults can get into it mostly and then children can use it as an educational tool. Also, if Disney really wanted to show us they were serious about respecting her, I think they should hire a majority- if not entirely- Native American cast and crew, both for the speaking parts and for other parts of the creative process. Because, again- I'm over Disney using minorities in their marketing but never putting their money where their mouth is.

What are your post-str Shinaya hcs?

this got so long. its my blog i am not putting a read more. deal with it. its shinaya hour

i want and need a role reversal. i want drama. post str shinaya break up without even being together first. ayano keeps waiting for shintaro to Do something because she's like. okay its been 2~ years and by now she CRINGES at remembering how she acted around him so shes like ok i CANNOT cling to him like that AGAIN. if he wants to come around he will but shintaro is yknow. like that. so obviously he fucking doesnt like honestly hes still sort of acting the same around her like less mean but still a bit dismissive, mostly out of embarrassment though cuz mekatrio wants to kill him+harutaka and momo tease him when he has Moments with ayano so he kinda wants to spare himself that embarrassment so hes like sweet in private then cold in public and ayanos like ????????????????????? does he like me or not what is going ON but also ayano and her amazing awesome self steem issues are like he fucking HATES me im the most annoying person in the world !!!!!!

so she eventually keeps her distance and obviously he notices and shintaros like oh fuck i messed UP because now theres like this sort of misunderstanding and the only way to clear it up is healthy communication but you know DAMN WELL he wont do that but somehow he finds it less mortifying to go around looking like a kicked puppy in a wet cardboard box around her desperately trying to get her attention making ayano even MORE confused.

eventually after a while of being in a circus i think hed get the balls to ask her out himself. probably bc of haruka/takane/momo telling him he's a fucking idiot bitch. anyways i think shintaro tries to kiss ayano and they hit their faces against each others and it really hurts💗🙏

btw thats only them getting together i think. but also that's how they break up and get back together over and over and over with like the exact same precedure everytime. on and off shinaya my beloved.

anc duhhh obviously im gonna talk abt the yuukei quartet Have u met me. takanes like another funny part of the whole thing like i know ive talked abt it but im obsessed with codependent shintaka *holds head* bc ayanos jealous of takane for how vulnerable shintaro is with them unlike with her and takane is individually close to both so shes kinda being dragged by both of them but especially shintaro forcing them to play as their relationship therapist and she fucking hates it but someone has to fucking do it apparently because shintaro and ayano cant talk like normal people. haruka keeps more distance than takane like its something they need to do themselves yknow and tells takane they shouldnt rly get in the way but shinaya KEEP going to her and also takanes insane and still feels responsible for shintaro bc (gestures at the whole ene thing) yeah so its tough for her to say no. like takanes obsessed with shintaro plus sees how pathetic shinaya are being and takane enomoto when they decide to obsess over others so they dont have to think about herself am i right😃<- what haruka tells her . she does not appreciate the comment. the whole thing also causing harutaka drama ougghhh shinaya is so messy that theyre contagious. but haruka is the 1 yuukei quartet member with any emotional intelligence so harutaka have actual communciation so theyre more caught up abt this being like a sorta messed up thing between the whole group and their relationships. on and off shinaya ft unwilling(?) relationship therapist takane ft an even more unwilling haruka who just wants his damn girlfriend to stop cancelling their dates to go stop shintaro from crying at ayanos feet begging her to take him back for the second time this month

ok and.........actual Break Up shinaya where its like Enough for ayano bc thats a fucking insane relationship to have so shes like lol maybe i should get therapy👍 and shintaro again is pathetic and desperately trying to gain her affections back but he just looks so pathetic and its funny. they dont rly stop hanging out bc they wouldnt do that and also its not like shintaro will just leave the dan LOL but thru it all the mekatrio are like KILLING HIM with their eyes especially kano god dont get me started on the one sided(?) kanoshin of it all. i love kano and shintaro having this weird fucking tension during the breakup augh kano little meowmeow the amount of self hatred he feels ok im getting sidetracked shinaya ends up together again basically. in my sitcom delusion shintaro finishes his first song Ever and its abt her and then she hears it everywhere and its so damn embarrassing bc theyre broken up but she still likes him so much it makes her look stupid amd the stupid song brings them back together ummmm sorry. my shinaya era (holds head) i will study them under a microscope

#headcanons #I'm trying to stop apologizing for givint long answers cuz like #u asked also its well known im a talking machine and also its my kageblog. this is EXACTLY what the blog is for. #ask tag #ayashin divorce

[chennnington]

I saw in your tags of your coworkers and I just wanted to say that you shouldnt worry about no one who ain't you being mad for you being you... like, I got that from some people after coming out (mtf) but the point still stands tbh you're you and you is awesome

Aw, thank you so much! And I'm sorry that you had that experience, a coming out is a rather stupid reason to be mad at someone. In my case everyone was cool with it (ftm), but last week I fucked up and went to the office instead of working from home even though I felt a little bit sick. I even tested for covid before going and the test was negative. Then a few people got sick, I took another test a few days later and yay, I actually do have covid and infected four coworkers so far. One of them is pregnant. One of them is panicking cause her honeymoon is in less than two weeks. One had to cancel plans she had been looking forward to for a long time. Everyone else is just mad in general. So yeah, they have every reason to. The guilt is way harder to deal with than covid itself.

#it was only a mild case for me so I didn't have to call in sick and just kept working from home #and now I just do everyone else's work on top of mine as long as they're sick cause that's the only thing I can do except apologize #and promise I'll never come to the office again with any kind of symptoms #my fave coworker didn't get infected apparently but she's still freaking out cause she wants to visit her dad tomorrow #and he has an autoimmune disease so she absolutely can't bring covid to him #will I get canceled for this on here? I probably should

CHAPTER 19 - ONE RAINY FRIDAY [wattpad link]

---

The sound of thunder had awoken Cherry from her slumber. It was Friday, the day after the performance. Their body was a little sore from the Sotry battle, but they’d live.

Rubbing her eyes, Cherry reached for her phone & checked her notifications. There was a weather alert for rampant thunderstorms, & an university-wide email informing students that classes were cancelled. Cherry didn’t have any classes today anyway, so they didn’t care.

What she did care about, though, was the weather alert. It was the middle of February! It shouldn’t be storming, especially not in Ohio. Determined to get to the bottom of this, Cherry opened up the group chat to inform their friends about it. Unsurprisingly, the group chat was fairly active this morning.

Leslie: ya so nat’s birthday is today & i was thinking of getting her something :p Nora: well what does she like Leslie: ummm she likes cool bikes & punk stuff Leslie: i think Leslie: havent known her for very long Juniper: didnt she try to steal the book from us Kalani: yea she did do that didnt she 🤼‍♂️ Leslie: well YEA but Leslie: shes nice. & pretty

Ignoring the current conversation going on, Cherry decided to hop in.

Cherry: yo. Nora: oh hey Leslie: gm cherry! Kalani: wassup 🐎🤹‍♀️ Cherry: yall seen the weather. Juniper: yea. storms. classes canceled Nora: since when did you care abt the weather cherry Cherry: since now apparently. Cherry: i think this thunderstorm is a little sus if u ask me. Kalani: lol sus 🟦 Cherry: oh whatever Cherry: point is it shouldnt be storming in february. Juniper: are you sayin theres Juniper: like Juniper: some kind of villain making the rain Cherry: all im saying is that these villains tend to be back to back. pim & auctioneer were back to back, & we just fought that sotry dude last night. Cherry: clealry there’s something going on. Cherry: clearly* Kalani: clealry Nora: clealry Leslie: clealry Juniper: get their ass Nora: anyways i thought you didnt care abt the hero stuff Nora: you even said the outfits were dumb & stupid Cherry: i think studying psychology is dumb & stupid too that doesnt mean im not a psychology major. Cherry: also like theres a prophecy or whatever. :/ Kalani: i mean Kalani: australia has storms in february 🌧⛱ Leslie: oh yeah true Cherry: that’s entirely off topic. also we’re not even in australia. Nora: if we WERE to be in australia though it would be perfectly fine for it to be raining Juniper: february storms bring march flowers i guess Cherry: we literally aren’t in australia. we’re in ohio. Cherry: & i say we investigate this right now Kalani: well classes are cancelled so we might as well 💥💥 Kalani: not like i have classes today anyway 🧦 Leslie: but i still have to get a birthday present for nat :0 Cherry: ok fine. Cherry: we can go shopping afterwards at the mall. Leslie: yippee :-D Nora: alright i’ll meet u all downstairs

Sitting up, Cherry turned their phone off. “Alright..” she yawned. “Let’s do this.”

-

The sounds of rain hitting the ground seemed to be unavoidable. No matter which direction you went in this city, the rainfall wouldn’t let up. Storm sighed as thunder roared in the distance.

The young Celestial was sitting on her cloud, which was currently a dark gray. As her name would suggest, she has the ability to control the weather (or more particularly, the rain). It’s not necessarily controlled by her emotions, but sometimes that does happen, & right now is one of those such cases.

Yesterday was rough for her, especially considering what Mr. Moon had told her the night before. Storm’s mother, Sun, had been gone for 2000 years, & she had just learned last night that they were, in fact, alive & currently living on Mercury. It was a horrid feeling, having the knowledge that this had been kept a secret from Storm for over 2000 years. She still loved Mr. Moon, of course (nov was her father, after all), but she was mad at him right now. For good reason.

As the pitter-patter of the rain hit the grass in the field, another voice came approaching toward her.

“Storm?! Storm! There you are!” “Spring?! What are you doing here?!”

It was Spring, Storm’s sister & best friend. She was a lot more cheerful than Storm was, & it clearly showed.

“If you’re going to Earth, I might as well too!” “You’re not supposed to be here!” “You’re not supposed to be here either!” “..fair. You should get back to the Castle, though. Mr. Moon & the others are probably losing their minds right now.” “Oh, don’t you worry! We’ll be fine!” “But.. y’know..” “I bet you Juno isn’t even around this area! Plus, this is our first time ever being on Earth. We should explore it some, at least!”

Storm sighed, her cloud getting slightly lighter in color.

“I guess you’re right.” she said. “Can we stay here for a bit longer, though?” “Of course!” Spring smiled, sitting down on the grass. “I don’t mind at all! Keep the rain coming, girl!”

-

“Jesus Christ!”

The group, all bundled up in their rain gear, stepped outside of the apartment complex & was immediately blasted with the most amount of rain & wind they’d ever been met with.

“It’s like a thunderstorm out here!” “Yea, clearly.” “So, Cherrypop, how are we supposed to find the source of the rain in the first place?” “What, do you expect me to think things through? You’re the smart one in this group, Nora.” “You’re the psychology major! Don’t call me the smart one!” “You’re majoring in medical engineering!”

While Cherry & Nora were having this discussion, Kalani had pulled out his phone & opened up the weather map.

“Look,” Kalani said, pointing toward the map. “The red is where the storm is the most intense, so that might be where the source is.” “We’re not going to the part of the storm that’s the most intense.” “It’s not like it’s a hurricane! We’ll be fine!” “Alright, fine. Let’s go.”

The group piled into Cherry’s car as they started driving toward the red point on the map. Kalani sat in the passenger’s seat, keeping an eye on the weather map in case anything happened to change.

Despite the danger that comes with riding during a storm, it was actually quite nice. The sound of the rainfall hitting against the windows was relaxing.

“Has the map changed at all?” Cherry asked. “Nope.” Kalani replied. “Still the same.” “Alright.” “Do you think we could turn on some music? It’s a bit quiet in here.” “Sure, go ahead & connect your phone.”

Juniper whipped out faer phone & connected to the car via Bluetooth. Ae started playing aer playlist, which just so happened to have started with Spring & A Storm by Tally Hall.

“Huh. Fitting song.” “It’s not spring. It’s still winter.” “But there is a storm.” “Whatever. Let’s just continue driving.”

-

“What do you mean Spring & Storm are gone?!”

Two Celestials, Mr. Moon & Time, stood in a room with two thrones, both labeled with the sun & the moon respectively. Mr. Moon sat in the moon throne as Time stood before nova.

“I- I don’t know! I told them about Sun & they left the castle! What if they get lost or hurt or-” “Calm down, Mr. Moon.” Time put a hand on novs shoulder. “Tell me, do you know where they are now?”

Mr. Moon went silent.

“Mr. Moon. Tell me. Where did they go?”

“..Earth.” “EARTH?! Why EARTH of all places?! Don’t they know Juno’s down there?! Why didn’t you try to stop them, Mr. Moon?!” “I- I tried! They wouldn’t listen to me! I... I’m a horrible father, Time..” “No, no you aren’t! You’ve done the best you can raising Spring & Storm for the past 2000 years alone. Besides, they’re just children. Children are known to act out.” “But they ran away to EARTH, Time! That planet’s like a death trap!” “Just breathe, Mr. Moon... they’ll be fine. I’m going to go tell Fate. Will you be fine on your own?”

Mr. Moon curled novs legs up to novs chest, hugging them ever-so slightly.

“Fate probably already knows. She knows everything, after all.” “If she knows everything, she’ll know Spring & Storm will come back safely. I’ll be back, Mr. Moon. Just hang on tight.” “..ok.”

-

Cherry parked her car in an empty parking lot, right next to a massive field.

“Are you sure this is the place?” “That’s what the map says, so it’s gotta be.” “In the field?” “In the field.” “At least it’s not a restaurant, or an auction house.” “True. Let’s go.”

Unbuckling their seatbelts, the group hopped out of the car & started walking into the field. The rain fell heavy on them & the ground, lightning crackling in the distance.

“Maybe we should have brought umbrellas.” “You think?” “Honestly, with how hard this rain’s coming down, it probably would have broken the umbrellas.” “If we stay out here any longer, it’s gonna break our bones.” “That’d be fun to explain to a doctor. Like, ‘Hey, doc. Broke my arm. Yea, it was raining outside.’ Y’know?” “The doctor wouldn’t believe you if you said that.” “The doctor could take one step out in this field & believe me.” “Hey, what’s that?”

Nora pointed over to something in the distance. It looked to be 2 kids, sitting & talking. One of them looked like they were on a cloud.

“Are those kids?” “Looks like it.” “What are they doing here in the middle of a thunderstorm?” “How’s that one sitting on a cloud?” “Hey, maybe they know why it’s raining!” “They’re kids. What could they do?” “Uh.. magic.” “...yea, fair.”

Adjusting her raincoat, Cherry walked up to the two kids. “Cherry, wait!”

The two kids appeared to both be girls, & they both had long, pointy ears as well. Not like that was much of a concern to Cherry. After all, if magic was real, then people with elf ears can be real too.

��You.” Cherry pointed at the girl sitting on the cloud. Both of them looked up at Cherry. “What do you want?” “Did you make this rain happen?” “Maybe. What’s it to you?” “Stop the rain. Now.” “Make me.”

Sensing that a fight was about to break out, Leslie & the other girl quickly intervened, carefully pulling Cherry & the storm-cloud girl away from each other.

“Hey- Hey! Woah! Everyone calm down!” “We don’t need a fight here, ok?”

“Well, maybe I wanna fight!” Cherry unzipped their coat, revealing their red tie necklace.

The two girls gasped.

“Wait! Is that one of the necklaces from the prophecy?!” “You know about the prophecy?!” “Of course we do! We are Celestials, after all!” “Spring!! You can’t just tell people that!” “But the necklace! They’re the heroes!” “We don’t know if they all have necklaces!” “We do all have necklaces, for the record.”

The other 4 unzipped their raincoats slightly, revealing their necklaces.

“Oh. I stand corrected, then.”

The girl that wasn’t on the cloud (her name was Spring, as the other one had said) reached her hand out for a handshake.

“It’s nice to meet you, heroes!” “It’s.. nice to meet you, too.” Cherry said, hesitantly shaking her hand. “I’m Spring, & that’s Storm!” Spring pointed at herself & then pointed at Storm. “I’m Cherry. That’s Nora, Leslie, Juniper, & Kalani.” Cherry pointed at all of their friends in the order in which they said their names. “Hey,” Kalani started. “If you two are Celestials, aren’t you supposed to be up in the castle?” “Oh, you actually read that part of the book?” “Of course we did.” “Well, yea, we’re supposed to be in the castle, but.. well.. it’s a long story.” Spring hummed. “We’ve got time. We should probably get out of the rain, though.” “Yea, speaking of the rain, can you turn it off?”

The two Celestials glanced at each other, processing the question. After a moment, they turned back to look at Cherry.

“Only if you do something for us.” “Alright. What is it?” “We want to g-” “We want to experience a day on Earth!” “Spring!” “What? It’s true!” “I mean, yea, but I’d rather find a way to get our parents back together!”

The group looked at each other.

“I mean.. we could do both.” “You can?!” “We can?” “Yea. Classes have already been cancelled today anyway, so.. we might as well!” “Besides, we need to go to the mall to get Natalie a present anyway! This is a great opportunity to do that!”

Storm sighed. “Alright. One day on Earth. & then you’re getting our parents back together. Got it?” “Hey, hold on a minute here!” Cherry said. “Do we look like marriage counselors to you?” “I don’t know what a marriage counselor is, but I’m sure it couldn’t be that hard.” Spring shrugged “Plus,” Storm twirled a strand of hair in her finger. “If you don’t do it, the rain stays.” “Ughh. Fine.”

Storm snapped her fingers. All of a sudden, the rain was gone. It was a bright, sunny day now.“Alright!” Spring cheered. “It’s time for the best day on Earth ever!!”

A letter to healthcare in the USA

Hello, Normally I would try to be kind and conservative while talking about this subject but with recent events I will forgo my usual calmness. The stories I will be sharing have been given to me and approved for posting by the victim's so that there stories can get out

To healthcare In the USA:

Hello,

I hope you have the days you deserve after depriving ill people of proper healthcare in all aspects. Today, A friend of mine called me hysterical.

a little background before I continue, His kidneys have shutdown once already and he has barely gotten them back to functioning after being brutally maimed by a surgery a year prior. During the 4 month recovery process his healthcare refused to pay any of the bills which was owed for doing the surgery even though both the hospital, doctors and him were told that it would be fully covered, He is still trying to pay that off. Since that incident his healthcare refuses to even discuss or acknowledge that this has occurred even after being given all information and proof to state otherwise.

He called me hysterical because that same healthcare has dropped him for asking for a case manager to go between him, the doctors and the healthcare since they have been doing nothing but shady things.

let me repeat that:

HIS HEALTHCARE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP KEEP HIM ALIVE AND HEALTHY THAT HE WAS FORCED TO USE BECAUSE OF INCOME HAS DESCIDED TO DROP HIM FOR ASKING FOR A CASE MANAGER/GO BETWEEN.

This decision that was made by a healthcare who seems to care more about saving money then actually doing there bloody jobs will most likely cause him his life and/or complete homelessness and bankruptcy. There is no in-between for him, He has zero family and out of the friends he has Most have passed away due to the pandemic. I am all he has left and I cannot even help because of my own situation.

Another friend of mine, has been confirmed to have lung cancer but even with the proof being given to the healthcare they are refusing to allow it to get treated. 6 separate times my friend has gotten appointments set up to start getting it treated then the insurance cancels the appointment stating no precedence of illness and/or proof of illness has been given to them, Again even though they have received all proof.

He been trying to go to the er but since all the er's in his immediate and closest area are all private hospitals He has been turned away multiple times even after collapsing from the illness and being put into an ambulance.

Is this how healthcare is supposed to work?

No, In no fucking way is this how healthcare should work.

Another friend of mine Needs to have her uterus removed due cysts on her uterus, However, both insurance and doctors state and I qoute:

If you ever want to have kids we cannot remove your uterus.

un-qoute.

She is in extreme pain every day, Shouldnt be moving around but has to make money to pay the bills that her insurance refuses to pay because and I qoute:

It was not an emergency or health issue that caused the cyst to grow therefore we are not responsible to pay for your own issues.

un-qoute.

Are you fucking kidding me...

I wish i was. I really do but unfortunately every single story is true and I have over 100 other stories just like that which all started coming to me after the pandemic started. Both Healthcare Insurance and healthcare since the beginning of the Covid Pandemic both healthcare providers and healthcare insurance has successfully fattened there pocket at the expense of the people they were supposed to be helping.

In Louisiana alone, Medicare and Medicaid has refused to pay for well over half of the services they are supposed to provide which has caused places to decline the basic healthcare of louisiana making it even harder for people to live.

in Georgia Its less than half of recipients but since Georgia will refuse you basic health care if you are not on disability that means that most that was under the 12k a year that is mandatory in Georgia for you to get on paid insurance a lot of Georgia residents were hit worse.

Look at everything that has happened since the start of the pandemic in each of the USA states and you will truly realize how badily our healthcare system has failed our country.

Final words,

To all the healthcare insurances that are helping cause the deterioration of the medical system in the USA I say this.

Your greed will be your eventual downfall, Life cannot be measured with money no matter what is shown and/or said.

With zero respect,

Lupus Ex Spiravite.

I may be a sweet person but one thing you would know about me is I have a health condition where I always feel like throwing up after eating something sweet. I can never finish an ice cream, cake, or shake/smoothie. I've never been a fan of chocolates. I thought its just because I didn't just like sweets but I realized that I am physically just intolerant of sweets. I can still consume sweets like juice, a few bites of something sweet but anything more than that the consequence is me vomiting. It really sucks but hey sweets are not my favorite foods anyway.

Speaking of vomiting, I find it hilarious that people are shocked to find out that Lucifer V. is an actual, IRL-psychopath who exploits mentally ill children and abuses the fuck out of them so he could use them to film his stupid vomit porn. Why is that surprising? How stupid are you to think that someone who makes snuff porn is a good person? The fact that Marian Dora's films features real animal abuse should be alarming. It disgusts me even more how people proudly say they love LV movies like what the fuck? You are basically consuming child porn/animal abuse/sexual debauchery material and you love that huh? Even if you say the actors/actress are of legal age at the time of filming the literal plot of these garbage films is about being devoid of morality so why are you denying you are consuming the exploitation of children? In A Serbian Film there was the "newborn porn" - a literal baby being raped, the young son of the main character was raped by his own father, another underaged girl was sexually abused as well. August Mordum shows countless of raping of children. Salo is all about sodomizing and doing scat porn with boys and girls. These are not grown adults these are children not only engaging in sexual acts but disturbing and vile sexual acts. Congratulations for proving that watching the torment and sexual abuse of distressed & exploited human beings let alone children makes you feel good about yourself. I do admit I have seen the same stuff but would I say i love them? No. Would I go out of my way to purchase DVDs and post a collection of these childporn posession on the internet? No. You fucking degenerates need to be locked up and get fist fucked in prison. Anyone who claims these banned films is art is pretentious as fuck who doesn't understand anything about existential philosophy yet embarass themselves even more by throwing Nietzsche quotes to sound edgy. Its amusing to me how do fucked-up individuals can just freely roam around doing the most depraved shit you can ever imagine and getting away with it because people are too busy getting offended and cancelling people over racist/homophobic words on twitter. People are so fucking ignorant, it makes me feel ashamed to be a human being. I actually wish there were more Jeffrey Dahmer in this day and age so people could be aware of the actual dark side of the humanity rather than focusing on the slavery in the 1500s or some shit in stone age. How about the slavery in todays age where big chain companies pay workers a minimum wage which is not even livable at all because how the fuck could someone pay for an apartment in the city that costs atleast $1,000 excluding utilities, electricity, car and gas while only making $8.00 per hour? People would just rather get offended about things that shouldnt concern them like celebrity news being racist or some shit. If I was a serial killer, my goal would probably to eradicate stupid people in this planet . The other day though, I carelessly mentioned to a friend how I would want to publicly execute a celebrity billionaire. That was awkward cause the intention of murder threw them off and they did not get my humor at all. I guess this is why i only genuinely get along with aspies despite not autistic enough to care about chemistry.... ( this just goes to show that my final exam on chem was a GG)

To my undeserving gift.

On September 8, 2022 I drove to Seattle to hangout with my friends because I couldnt do anything the day before which was my birthday. I felt sick all day not knowing what was wrong. My boobs were swollen and my period had stopped after only being on it for a day. The whole situation felt suspicious so I went to Walgreens with my friend to get a pregnancy test.. I just had the feeling that it was gonna say positive. I felt my body was changing prior to that day but ignored it because I was in denial. I couldnt possibly get pregnant right? Im not sure why I thought that. Maybe because I have been with your Dad for over 4 years and thought I was maybe infertile even though I was on birth control the entire time.

After taking the test, I immediately left the bathroom because I was scared of what it was gonna say. My friends came up to me with so much love and told me that It was positive. I cried. I cried because I didnt know that all this time I didnt feel good...it was because I was growing you. I cried because your Dad and I had just broken up for 3 weeks. No communication other than when I took him to the airport on my birthday but we still kept in touch via text while he was away. I cried because theres no way I was ready to be a mom with our financial situation.

After confirming that I am pregnant. I didnt speak to your Dad that whole day because I was scared. The night after that, we got in a fight and he said some really horrible things that I dont think I will ever forget. Those words cut deep and they keep playing in my head whenever I close my eyes. I knew what my decision would be after that fight. I knew that I couldnt keep you because you would grow up without a Dad.

A couple days passed and he comes home. I didnt pick him up from the airport and i didnt speak to him for about a day until one night, I told him that I was pregnant.... He was so happy.. I was still scared but relieved to see him happy. He finally included me in his future.. He never say "We" when he talks about his future..its always "I" . It felt good hearing that he wanted me to move with him..that he was gonna take care of us.

In that 4 years that we were together, I've had about atleast 4 pregnancy scare... and each time I get a Plan B.. He tells me how I shouldnt. How he wants another baby but thats not the case with you. I guess reality hit him that this is real. He only wanted you for a couple days. I could see him change. He even brought up if we are ready for you but I could tell that he was scared to bring up the A word. I was hurt. Because I learned to love you even though I havent met you. Little does he know, I made an appointment to stop you from growing.. twice and both times I canceled because I thought maybe i could keep rescheduling so I could spend some more time with you.

Oct 19 2022. I get to have my first ultrasound. Its not with an actual OBGYN but with Planned Parenthood to tell me how far along I was. I thought you were conceived the end of August.. before our fight that led us to not speak for 3 weeks. But it was earlier than that.. it was in July..after I had Covid. The ultrasound tech told me that you were between 13-14 weeks.. which is about 3 months going into my 2nd trimester. I saw your head, arms and heard your heartbeat. I cried. I cried because I knew how much I was gonna love you if your Dad and I decided to really keep you. I got a picture of you to keep so I showed it to your Dad. I could tell he wasnt really happy or excited. I got sad but i immediately brushed it off.

On Oct 20, I was supposed to have the appointment to terminate you but I was too far along. PPH wasnt gonna let me because the cut off was 13 weeks and I'd have to go to Seattle Hospital for later termination.I was scared but also relieved that I get to spend more time with you.

At night time, I called my bestfriend to let her know. She was happy for me so I decided to make a baby registry for when you come on April 2023..So I did. I cried because I just knew in my heart that you might not be here for much longer.

Fast forward to Halloween weekend. Your Dad and I got in a huge fight. He told me everything I was scared to ask. He told me how he didnt want you and as much as it hurts, I didnt blame him. Yes I was angry, broken and upset but how could I feel that way when I knew he no longer loved me and he also confirmed it that night? Hearing it again broke me so much. I cried on the way to his family's house and felt so much guilt that you're feeling the same way. He told me how he doesnt see me in his future. Although I've felt that way in a while, I felt skeptical about being with him..I thought that maybe things will change because you're here..but it didnt and I was ready for that. Even though I was..it still hurt to hear him say you were not made with love but lust because I thought otherwise.

Im sorry that I couldnt fight for you. I'm scared to raise you by myself. I dont think I'm emotionally, mentally and absolutely not financially capable of doing so. I wish things were different because I've learned to love you even though I've never met you. Now that you're growing more.. it harder to let go.

Your Dad have decided that he was gonna leave no matter what and I couldn't imagine you growing up asking where he is. Why he isnt living with us and why he only sees you a few times a year. I knew what it was like to grow up without a Dad and until today it hurts. I cry almost everyday that I didnt have one. Thats probably why i tend to stay in toxic relationships longer than I should've because I can finally feel the "love" from a man that I shouldve gotten from my Dad. I dont want you to end up like me. You deserve so much better and I hope that one day when I'm ready..we'll meet again. Hopefully next time..I'll be married with the love of my life, we'll have a home for you to grow up in.

I love you, until we meet again.

Sleep is the Best Cure

“Jack? What-” Mac blinked a few times, trying to clear his vision even as he automatically relaxed into his partner’s hold, trusting him to keep him up while he struggled his way back to the surface.

“Pretty sure you’re going on about 72 hours without sleep and you’ve had, what? Three? Separate traumatic situations in that time? Not much of a surprise you’re about to crash hard.”

Tag to 2x11 and 2x12. Also on AO3. 

..

Mac’s eyes surveyed the wreck of his living room with a building sense of dread. The last few days felt like little more than a blur in his memory and he didn’t think he’d had a chance to pause for breath during any of it. Now that he had a moment to himself, he couldn’t help but worry that the world was about to come crashing down yet again, with him standing right in the middle of it. 

Charlie’s attention had been drawn away by one of the team responsible for lifting the barrels out from beneath the floor, while all around them Phoenix personnel were cataloguing every item they could find just in case one of them might grant a clue as to the Ghost’s whereabouts. Mac considered moving to help them - or perhaps back Charlie up in what looked as though it might be descending into some kind of argument about proper procedure - but the instant he took a step to do so, sharp, blinding pain struck him right between the eyes like a lightning bolt. 

It was there and gone in a flash, but it left him so startled he staggered back a step in surprise. A hand snatched at his arm before he could do more than sway, tugging him carefully against a supportive warm body. “Easy there bud.”

“Jack? What-” Mac blinked a few times, trying to clear his vision even as he automatically relaxed into his partner’s hold, trusting him to keep him up while he struggled his way back to the surface. 

“Pretty sure you’re going on about 72 hours without sleep and you’ve had, what? Three? Separate traumatic situations in that time? Not much of a surprise you’re about to crash hard.”

“I’m- I’m okay.”

“Yeah man, ‘course you are. But maybe we should get you some sleep, yeah?”

Mac’s head still felt like it was floating some way above the rest of his body, foggy and distant, but he was still able to feel himself frown as the suggestion stuck a chime wrong somewhere. “Can’t,” he managed. “House is in clean up.”

“Matty’s got it covered,” Jack said, sure and steady. “And while she’s getting everything here sorted, you can crash at my place.”

That did admittedly sound amazing, but Mac forced himself to mumble a negative and reclaim some of his own weight, shaking his head in a vain attempt at clearing out the cobwebs taking root. “No, I need to help Charlie,” he said stubbornly. 

The arm Jack had around his shoulders turned to steel, not letting him move away. “Charlie is doing just fine. He knows what he’s doing and he’s not the one dead on his feet right now. It’s okay man, it’s over. You can hand the reins over to someone else for a bit.”

With his vision steadily clearing, Mac could finally make out Jack’s worried face at his shoulder, watching him closely for any sign he was about to take another nosedive. Beyond the concern though, it was clear as day that Jack was starting to flag just as badly as Mac was, with pale skin and deepening crow’s feet emphasising the slight squint he’d picked up to combat the dryness of his eyes. “You’ve not slept either,” he pointed out unnecessarily. 

Jack huffed something that might have been a laugh if he’d had the energy for it. “True enough, but I also wasn’t arrested and I haven’t spent the last twenty hours working on defusing two bombs simultaneously.” He gestured vaguely around the wreck of Mac’s living room with his free hand as though to encompass everything that had happened. “I’m good to drive us both back to mine and then I’m planning on passing out until at least tomorrow. That plan sound good with you?”

Honestly, now that Mac was aware of his own fatigue, the exhaustion felt like a physical weight on his body and the very thought of handing over his safety to Jack and drifting off for a couple of hours sounded like heaven, but he knew his job. Once an EOD tech, always an EOD tech, and there was still a lot of explosive material in his house that needed dealing with before anyone in a mile’s radius would be safe. He had work to do. 

The sentiment must have shown on his face, because Jack went right back to frowning. “No, man, cut that out. Even if there wasn’t a perfectly capable bomb tech right over there, you’re in no state to be handling explosives. You’re shaking.”

Mac glanced at his own hands to confirm that yes, his whole body was indeed wracked by fine tremors that he couldn’t seem to stop. That… didn’t seem right. Since joining the army he’d had countless sleepless nights, both intentional and unavoidable, and while he knew he must be getting close to his limit of endurance, he was usually steady handed. Sort of an occupational requirement, really. 

“Something’s wrong,” he murmured to himself, still looking at his trembling fingers. 

With a heavy sigh, Jack tugged on him until he was pushed, unresisting, onto one of the bar stools and propped up by Jack’s warm palms on both of his shoulders. “What’s wrong is that you’ve been running on nothing but adrenaline and coffee for two whole days. Just ‘cause you’ve not been dodging bullets doesn’t mean you haven’t been going through the wringer. You’re exhausted. That’s all it is, bud, promise.”

Well, if Jack promised then Mac would believe him. Jack would never lie to him and he always seemed to know Mac’s hurts even before the man himself did. Something about it still didn’t sit right with him though. “Was dodging bullets,” he corrected, slightly petulantly, as he remembered handcuffs around his wrists and the desperation of trying to find a solution using nothing but a bullet and a ballpoint pen. 

One of Jack’s hands drifted up his shoulder to cup the back of his head comfortingly in a move that Jack liked to use when he wanted to check Mac’s pulse without him knowing. “I’m okay,” he mumbled again in protest, but didn’t pull away. 

“Yeah, I know you are. You’re pretty out of it though bud. Reckon you’re not going to remember this conversation tomorrow, huh?”

That was probably a fair assessment, honestly. With no witty retort lined up and thoroughly lacking the energy to search for one, Mac just hummed agreeably, blinking at him as his vision went wobbly again. 

Jack sighed. “Okay, I’m calling it. I know you want to help out here, but you need rest and you’re not going to get it while there’s a Phoenix clean-up op happening in your living room. And since I’m not letting you out of my sight just yet, you’re coming home with me, yes? Good.”

He finally broke his attention off from Mac to cast a glance around the room at large and caught Matty’s eyes, gesturing to his semi-conscious partner with a small head tilt. “I’m taking this one home.” He didn’t leave any room in his tone for argument, but softened it by adding, “If you need us, call me.”

Thankfully, as much as Matty might be a hardass when her job needed her to be, she was also one of the most observant people Jack had ever met. Her eyes took them both in with a single look and recognised the exhaustion staring back at her. She nodded with a soft smile. “Take as long as you need. We’ve got this.”

He spared enough time to shoot her a deeply grateful look before his entire attention turned back to Mac, who appeared to have been trying unsuccessfully to use the brief pause to rally himself. Unfortunately for him, he was long since out of any reserves to draw off; the best his attempts got him was some slightly more aggressive blinking. 

“Okay hoss, think you can stand up for me?” From the way Jack was having to keep him steady, it was obvious that Mac’s balance had completely gone to shit, but he obediently pushed himself upright and managed to at least keep his knees locked to take his weight. “Alright man, you’re doing great. Let’s get outside and get you sitting down again, yeah?”

Getting Mac outside and into the car turned out to be an exercise in extreme patience. Out of it as he was, he seemed to consistently forget where they were going and why, and made several attempts to turn himself around to go and help Charlie even though he could not more obviously be beyond that particular task. Each time Jack would nudge him back in the right direction with a soft push and a string of gentle words that seemed to more or less do the trick. By the time Mac was carefully folding himself into the passenger seat, the kid was scarcely still conscious. 

“That’s right, you just sit there and let Jack get you home, yeah?”

That Mac didn’t even groan in protest at Jack referring to himself in third person said a lot for his mental state. Chuckling to himself, Jack rounded the car and nodded at Bozer who had appeared at the front door to see them off. 

“I’ll get the house sorted as soon as I can,” he promised. “Make sure everything’s nice and clean when he gets back.”

“Appreciate that. But make sure you get some rest yourself, okay?” He said sternly, sending him a steady look. “Today’s been a long day for everyone, you included.”

“We’re good Jack. Matty will take good care of me and Riley. You just worry about Mac.”

Jack snorted, momentarily letting his bone-deep exhaustion show on his face. “As if I ever do anything else.”

Mac was thoroughly dead to the world when Jack slid into the driver’s seat beside him, his head tilted awkwardly against the window and his arms wrapped tight around his middle. It looked wildly uncomfortable, but the journey was only short and now that he was actually out for the count, Jack was loath to disturb him until he had to. Instead, he jammed his keys in the ignition and headed for home without another word. 

Tired as he was, Jack drove more carefully than he was usually of a mind to and as a result ended up taking a full half-hour to make it to his apartment. Mac didn’t so much as stir the entire time. If it hadn’t been for his breath fogging against the glass of the window, Jack might have resorted to feeling for the pulse in his wrist just to be certain that he really was still there, still in one piece. After everything he’d been through in the last three days, the fact that the worst physical damage he would have to deal with would be a few scrapes and a hefty dose of exhaustion was something of a miracle - and Jack would still trade almost anything for the chance to go back and spare him of all of it. Mac had never deserved the shit that got thrown at him day in and day out, but it rarely came so thick and fast. 

And physical condition aside, Jack knew that Mac wasn’t getting away from any of it without some new mental baggage. 

But that was a problem for tomorrow, at the earliest. Right now all he had to worry about was getting 6 foot of mostly-catatonic secret agent up several flights of stairs, preferably without drawing any attention. Easy. 

Mac did make a valiant attempt at consciousness after a few gentle shakes from Jack, but it was clear the window of opportunity for his ability to hold his own weight had closed some time ago. In the end, it was left to Jack to duck under his shoulder and do his best to balance them both as they hobbled unsteadily up the fire escape. The lobby would have granted them an elevator, but with them both on their last legs, Jack didn’t want the attention.

No doubt they must have looked comical - or perhaps just drunk - but they made it in the end, and without anyone falling down the stairs to boot. Jack was going to count that as a win. 

“Mac, you still with me brother?”

There was a vaguely attentive hum. Mac’s eyes didn’t open. 

“You happy to share the bed or are you gonna make me sleep on the couch?”

Another hum that Jack chose to take as ambivalence. In truth the question was somewhat redundant - the pair of them had shared far closer quarters than a king-sized bed before, and Mac would never turf Jack out of his own room, especially when he was just as desperately in need of rest. Asking was more of a formality than anything. 

There was a second brief deliberation when Jack managed to get them both into the bedroom as he tried to weigh up the chances of him being able to bully Mac into changing into some borrowed sleepwear. In the end, he figured it wasn’t worth the hassle and just calmly battled him out of his jeans and his dust-covered henley before tipping him beneath the covers. With his consciousness waning once more, Mac offered little more than a sleepy grumble as he burrowed down beneath the blanket and went still once more. 

With a weary chuckle of genuine relief, Jack ran through his own preparations as quickly as his tired body was capable of before finally, finally folding himself into the other side of the bed. After everything, the sensation was heavenly. 

There was a long stretch of motionless silence, broken only by their steady breathing, and Jack felt the fiercely alert, wary section of his brain finally start to cede control to the comforting embrace of sleep. It was over; Mac was safe, the bomb was defused, no one was in prison, and Cage would be just fine after a bit of recovery time. Jack was free to let his guard down at long last. 

It wasn’t an easy task. For the next five minutes he struggled with slipping into light dozes that broke off suddenly when his adrenaline spiked, bracing himself against some new danger. He knew that he needed the rest and for once it was legitimately safe to do so, but he had too many years of forcing his body through every possible hardship for it to give up the fight so easily. 

Then, as he always managed to do, Mac provided the solution. After the fifth or so time Jack jolted awake, Mac let out a low, displeased huff and wriggled until he was able to reach out a hand and wrap long fingers around Jack’s wrist in a gentle reassurance of his presence. He didn’t even look as though he was awake as he did it - he’d just sensed that Jack needed his help, and had offered it without thought. Lost in his own exhaustion, Jack thought it was almost poetic. 

Not that he would know, of course. 

Safe at long last, and tangibly aware of Mac’s steady presence at his side, Jack finally let himself sleep.

there’s been some age discourse circulating on anime tiktok about older folks liking minor anime characters and how they SHOULDNT simp for them and i wanted to ask (1) what did you think about that? and (2) we see how often adults write smut about fictional characters that are minors so ummm how does that work?

imo in general since a lot of underage characters are drawn to be REALLY attractive or rather older, if i like them??? i like them.... but i don’t necessarily come on the internet to openly make sexualizing comments or nothing like that so respectful simping = a okay. like i want to give xyz a hug and a poptart and they’re the cutest patootest person on the planet type vibes.

as i aged, with a lot of new animes like demon slayer and jjk, i simply do not find MYSELF attracted ??? to the minors like inosuke and megumi, who would have been my general favorite characters if i was 15 bc that is how all my favorite characters looked and acted like but stuff that ive grown up with and characters i aged (i was 15, same age as kageyama when i watched hq!!) with are still going to be like?? VERY pedestal heavy & ppl i still hyperfixate over since i am still very attached to them even if i don’t say a word online about them. i am kind of scared of being attacked for liking them :(

but EVEN WITH FICS??? like lol please let me READ them in peace i promise it’ll be between me and my phone but duuude i think actively reading fics about me x fictional character is insane /jk so let me live. i think it’s interesting though because yeah okay chara x reader is bad but people writing smut about underage characters in ships (kagehina as an example) and then ppl are okay with it.... ALSO not to mention how much doujins are made again with the minor characters and suggestive content..... but yeah food for thought

this has been sitting in my inbox for a few days bc ive been trying to think about how to properly gather my thoughts on it so if anyone wants to hear me rant about media literacy and fictional minors you can click below :)

i think people often forget that fiction is just that—fiction. its fake. yes we can pour our hearts and souls into loving certain characters or shows but at the end of the day they as "people" are lines on paper. they do not exist. i think the lines are extremely blurred when it comes to stuff like the age debate because people get weird w/ minors being written about or thought of in a certain way etc.

personally, when i think of a character (especially applied to noncanon universes) i think about them because i like the idea of them. i match them in my head to be fitting to me and my personal character (age included!!!!) so like yes i love canon megumi and his character, but when i write about megumi and "simp" for him in my head hes not 15. hes tailored to my personal demographic and interest (if that makes sense)

i think that people think too much into the whole fiction thing because its literally fake....like people get cancelled for writing FAKE SCENARIOS about FAKE PEOPLE because of their age. fiction is meant to be fake! its meant to be consumed knowing it is not real, and to explore hypotheticals and use your imagination to your own advantage

with that being said....in no way shape or form do i condone pedophilia or illegal age relationships. i think that people need to stop worrying about FICTIONAL age gaps and focus on the actual real life minors being groomed, harassed, assaulted, etc. because this is something that happens in real life to real people. worrying about fictional scenarios that will not be real no matter how hard you try is pointless when the reality of the situation is that real adults being interested in real minors is the real issue.

idk if i worded this nicely or if it makes sense but this is just my opinion on it <3 they’re literally not real and we should be focusing on protecting actual human real life minors <3

Just wanted to say I love it when you tell us what you based the outfits on your drawings from. It's so interesting to see fashion from different cultures and eras. It's not really an ask but more of praise for a really cool thing you do and it adds alot to your already amazing art

Naww thank you! :D

I've become a massive fashion nerd in the last few years and although I know most about western european fashion from the mid 18th century to today I love fashion from around the world even more. Especially indigineous clothing or clothing from cultures that have been almost wiped out by colonialism or were/are massively affected by it are so so beautiful and it makes me mad mad everytime to see the effects of western european colonialism when I do research on the topic.

Ngl I'm also a little afraid to get accused of cultural appropriation, bc of course I get the point why you should be careful esp as a white person to use elements from other cultures (not just fashion but language, traditions, etc). But I feel like sometimes the line between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation can be very blurry so I'm as transparent as possible about my inspiration. Another factor is that I've been (and still somewhat am) in a very far leftist bubble on the internet where "cancel culture" is extreme and often not justified, at least from my perspective as a white woman so I feel like I dont have a voice in that conversation. I still feel a little iffy everytime I draw a character in clothes from another culture (although I make sure the character is from said culture/group of people (even though they're literally humanified lego people)) bc a small voice in my head is yelling "you shouldnt be doing that that's bad you're white you have no right to do that" (I sound like I want to be oppressed so bad I'm sorry I hope you get what I mean tho)

Anyways, very complicated topic and I dont ruffle anyone's feathers too much, I'm just a fashion nerd and think its important to give esp BIPOC groups and their fashion the credit they deserve :)

I would love to hear how they could have handled Sarina’s story better!

lmao so i took way longer than i expected to do this

i really liked some stuff from sarina’s story actually!

I like that Julian (a fellow neurodivergent adult augment) was the one to be like “but shes a person she deserves a life and if we can help improve her quality of life shouldnt we do that”

I like that it seemed (initially) that her quality of life was the main concern

I like that she decided to do her own thing

I like that it was obvious from the beginning that she’s smart.

I initially thought that I liked it a lot better than I did though, because when I started looking at issues I had.... a lot of them were sort of cancelling out the parts I did like.

It’s stated in Chrysalis that “She can’t focus on what’s going on around her” but last time (in Statistical Probabilities) she was clearly paying attention and actually helped, she drew a complex chemical structure immediately relevant to the conversation? i know star trek is bad at consistency but that in particular comes off as assuming nonverbal people dont think and that's um. bad.

The big mark that the operation was a success was that she spoke and then became Normal which totally undercuts the supposed quality of life focus.

Once again we have Julian falling for a patient, I thought we were past this :/

She’s only considered beautiful once she’s Normal and she immediately starts wearing (simple, but still) makeup

This continues to divide augments into “basically normal” and “those weirdos”/ “high functioning” and “low functioning”/”useful” and “a burden” (see: exactly how the world sees ND people)

Despite mainly socializing with Jack, Lauren, and Patrick for most of her life, she has very good social skills.

NOW we get into what changes I’d make.

First change: Sarina remains nonverbal. She starts learning one or more sign languages and also uses other methods of communication.

For the love of fuck, use the word understimulated. That was what was going on, according to what Julian said. Her cerebral cortex was processing information faster than it could get it, she was not getting enough input, she was understimulated.

After the operation that boosted the input, she should’ve been experiencing sensory overload. Not because it was actually too much for her, but because she had never experienced that much input before.

she still decides to Do Something, but maybe after staying on the station for a bit. staying near the only doctor who is familiar with her case as a precaution (in case something goes wrong)

no romance with julian. fuck that, i hate that.

make it more clear that the reason this needs fixing in the first place is because it's a direct consequence of something that was done to her, not just because she's like that.

i dont really remember when exactly i fell in love with her. i remember the day we became official. i rememver every trip to her cubicle from mine. i remember every night she came to my apartment. i remember the day it all fell apart. but not the day i fell in love, though it may be the most important day of my whole life.

maybe it was when she started staying over at least once a week because she thought i was monster resistant. or maybe it was how she always smelled of vanilla or citrus, depending on the day. or maybe it was everything about her.

say what you will about us, but at this point, two months later, i still expect to open my eyes in the morning and see her head in the pillow next to mine.

* * *

“why do you even care still? she left you. you should be angry.” ryan groaned. when he found out, he immediately started hating her. but i couldnt make myself hate her.

“it was my own fault, ryan. i pushed her away. i shouldnt have expected her to stick around while i ignored her. if she refused to talk to me i wouldnt stick up with it either.”

ryan paused to stab at his delete key. “you arent wrong, you were kind of a dick. still. she pissed me off.”

“we know, ryan.” i switched from staring at my puppet history script to trying to write next week’s song. but she was on my mind.

“i told you about our first trip, right?”

ryan barely glanced up. “uh, probably when you first went. it was like.. belgium.”

“yeah. we went to stay on the beach on the north coast. we dated for, like, six months and we both got winter bonuses. she didnt tell me until we were literally on the plane that she couldnt swim. but i had planned everything around swimming.”

“thats so stupid. why didnt she tell you?”

i shrugged. i still dont know. “she was always doing crazy shit. she refused to let me cancel anything. when we went scuba diving, i had this image in my head of her sinking. you knew her, though. she wanted to see underwater. it was a once in a lifetime experience, she said. she always was doing really wild shit.”

“she was totally out of pocket.” ryan muttered. he was barely listening. but i missed her.

“yeah, but she didnt drown. she didnt sink at all. she looked really awesome. when we got back for dinner, we ate at this really fancy restaurant, but all she wanted was alfredo. and bread. like it was an olive garden trip.”

that made ryan look up for a moment longer than he previously had. “thats so weird.”

“that was her, though. she knew what she liked. i love that.”

ryan tapped his pen on his desk. “are you okay, shane?”

i dont know. “im sad. i wish she didnt hate me.”

“she said this was just like... a break, right?”

“ryan, it’s been two months. i dont know how long a break goes.”

he took pity on my broken heart. “what else did you guys do?”

i immediately let out a laugh at the first memory i thought of. “uhh, when she first moved here and still worked at buzzfeed, you remember how long her hair was, right?”

“kinda.”

“she asked where she could get a trim, because she had just barely moved here, and i told her to go to tom’s.”

“shane, oh my fucking god, thats a barber shop.”

“i didnt really know the full difference. but i wanted to help! i dont know. i thought it would make me cool.”

ryan hesitated. “i do not remember this happening.”

“it was embarrassing, so i didnt tell you.” i grinned. oops. “she came back to work missing the bottom four inches of her hair. and she had to cut herself straight across bangs.”

“oh my fucking god.” ryan sighed.

“she said that he cut really high up for layers or something and then had to fix everything with a blunt cut. but that was the first time she hugged me. said that she wanted to be more impulsive and that haircut was the first step. maybe thats why shes scuba diving without swimming experience.” the silence between us was loud. “it was a very (y/n thing to do. i gotta get back to her, ryan.”

The trope Last Minute Hookup shouldn’t be used for LGBTQ+ relationships.

AND DEFENDING MY LAST POST ABOUT THIS.

I DO NOT hate any of these pairings. A good many of them could have been handled differently by the creators, writers, and networks. But this isnt me hating the relationships or characters or shows. Just going off about how they shouldnt have been tacked on at the end of their respective series. 

As of writing this all of these shows have ended their original runs. Except for Supernatural which is on its last few episodes. And Supergirl, which announced its coming to end with season 6.

LGBTQ characters and relationships aren’t as common in the media as straight-cis characters and relationships. Sure things are improving but a lot of networks and writers still don’t fully understand why representation is important why they can’t keep using the same throwaway tropes they’ve been using for the straight-cis relationships.

You could name any piece of media and find and name one character that isn’t LGBTQ+, but you can’t do this with LGBTQ+ characters. We haven’t gotten to the point where they are as common as non-LGBTQ characters.

I have a whole paper I wrote on why asexual representation is important to have in the media and the same logic applies to any part of the LGBTQ+ or anything that falls under minority.

Back to the topic on hand. The trope of “Last Minute Hookup.”

Its exactly what it sounds like. Characters get to together at the very end of the story. These characters could have a on and off again relationship, lots of ship teasing, the classic “Will They or Wont They?” trope. What makes it different for non-LGBT characters in relationships to do this, we know what these relationships look like. Not to say the that both Non and LGBT relationship cant have similar struggles, however members of the LGBTQ+ community know how hard it is to feel like your identity and self matters and is normal.

I know that the whole “will they, wont they” thing is done for drama and networks and showrunners think if they give the fans what they want that they’ll start losing viewers and they have nothing to look forward to. Which is true to some degree. But most of this comes from the writers not knowing how to fucking write relationships.

Let’s just focus on whats it like to be in a non-straight relationship.

Heres an example: you have an action series, with 2 male leads and halfway through the show, they get together. Cool. Now you have a Battle Couple.

By making LGBTQ relationships happen at the end of a series that’s already had plenty of other non-LGBTQ relationships happen before it, it makes it look like the people in charge don’t care for it or were afraid of backlash. But it’s the end of the series so its not like they can get the show cancelled or anything. (The only people who are going to lash out at LGBT couple or characters are homophobic people, we don’t want them around any way so just make stuff super gay, so they’ll leave)

This is especially a problem when the writer and network have spent the whole series queerbaiting the audience with these characters.

 Side note for anyone is doesn’t actually know what queerbaiting is:

It’s a marketing technique used in entertainment, which the writer or creators hint at but then don’t actually depict sex-same romance or LGBTQ representation. They do this to attract (bait) the LGBT/queer or straight ally audience into the show with the suggestion of representation but at the same time avoiding this as not alienate other audience members *cough* (homophobes) *cough*

Definition is from Wikipedia, not a reliable source says my highschool teachers and college professors but fuck em

The Legend of Korra is a great example of Last-Minute Hookup. Korra and Asami had VERY little ship teasing, and that was in the last 2 books/seasons. Any thing that was perceived as romantic came from the fans wearing shipping goggles. So to a lot of people just casually watching, yes this looked like it came out of nowhere. Nickelodeon had some serious balls to say how brave they were for putting 2 girls into a romantic relationship.

Theres a few problems with this.

A. It never actually aired on TV (to my knowledge). The last 2 seasons of Korra were put on Nicks website.

B. The confirmation that this Korrasami was canon had to come from the creators on twitter because of how unclear it was.

C. The show did the bare minimum when it came to hooking them up in the series. They walk off holding hands (very cute btw). They didn’t even get a kiss. Aang and Katara had a Last Minute Hookup at the end of ATLA after 3 seasons of ship tease and THEY GOT A KISS. Hell the original end of LoK*, has Korra and Mako kissing. *(the first season, they didn’t know they were getting more seasons at the time, no matter what you hear the writers say, they’re full of shit)

D. Anything continuation of Korra has come in the form of comics, which her and Asami are in a fairly well written relationship. Yes, they do kiss. Yes it would’ve been great to see this stuff happen in series.

A show that handles this a little bit better is Adventure Time. Not by much though. It implied several times that Princess Bubblegum and Marceline have history together and its shown more and more in its last few seasons that there is some ship tease happening. However its not until the finale where they kiss, and they are shown in the last minute of the show cuddling together in Marcy’s house. HBO has picked up Adventure Time and has a miniseries called Adventure Time: Distant Lands, where Bubblegum and Marceline’s past relationship is shown.  

I had brought up in my original post about being upset with networks making LGBTQ+ relationships canon in the last season/episode. I originally had Catradora tagged. While Catra and Adora have history together, they did not become official couple until the end of the series.

Yes, I was wrong about the network making things canon in the last episode as they’ve always had ship tease with each other, and it probably was the writers’ intent to put them together by the end. They do technically fall under the Last-Minute Hookup, however.

I wanna talk about Once Upon a Time really quick. Fans of the show were hoping and wishing for an LGBTQ couple for the show as a lot of characters, especially Regina and Emma, have alot Ho Yay moments. The showrunners weren’t going to put those two together, for whatever reasons they may have for that (im indifferent on all the shipping going on with this show). The showrunners thought to put two characters together, and hoo boy did it not make people happy. The characters they put together are Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Ruby the red riding hood, which would be fine if they had properly been developed.

The entire episode they did this in was a mess. They stopped the current arc during the season 5 episode ‘Ruby Slippers,’ to go over the characters that haven’t been seen in years, Dorothy was introduced and last seen in season 3, and Ruby was introduced in season 1 and was last seen in season 5 before ‘Ruby Slippers’. The characters get together in the same episode the meet in and are never seen again. The characters barely interacted, barely got along, and showed little to no ship tease or interest in each other and BOOM they are in love and together aaaaaannnnndd they’re gone. Other than having One Million Moms, a Christian fundamentalist organization, protest against the show and want it taken off the air (yes this really happened). The fans weren’t please with this development of the characters either.  

(also Mulan was right there and already knew Ruby from a previous episode, and Mulan already is established to like girls as shown by her being in love with Aurora. Don’t know why the writers didn’t just put these 2 together but whatever I guess)

So they tried again in season 7 with MadArcher. The characters of Alice, a version of Alice in Wonderland from another realm (its complicated) and Robin, the daughter of Robin Hood and the Wicked Witch (it’s also complicated). And the writers did a lot better here. Both characters were allowed to have time together and have a history together too and it was done over the whole season. Not just one episode.

Now even though the writers decided to do something different with the last season and it could be detached from the previous 6 seasons, MadArcher is not really a Last Minute Hookup per say but still falls under my thing about it being the last season so who gives a fuck if One Million Moms gets mad us and tries to get us cancelled again.

 I would like to say I have never watched a single episode of Supernatural in my life. I may one day. But as of right now my knowledge of it is coming primary from what ive seen on tumblr. You know a great source for doing research and looking for reliable information among the piles of shitposting.

From what I know from fans, the writers of Supernatural have been queer baiting for years. I mean it’s the CW, I’m not that surprised. What also wouldn’t surprise me, that by the end of the series Castiel is back and he and Dean actually start and relationship or strongly hint at starting one. I actually fear for the writer lives if they threw out a confession scene after years of queerbaiting and potential ship tease (debatable) and they don’t put them together. Fans are going to be angrier than they probably ever have been with this show and the showrunners and writers really would be known for queer baiting.

From what I know about how previous shows have done and if anyone that has ever worked on this show wants to continue living, Castiel will be back from Super Hell (is that what yall are calling it?) and he will get together with Dean. And they will fall under the Last-Minute Hookup trope and my networks make LGBTQ relationships canon last season.

 One last show I want to talk about is Supergirl, which in has been recently announced that the 6th season will be the last. The show started on CBS but moved to the CW after the end of season 1. So more CW bullshit. There is no confirmation about whether the CW or any of the Supergirl writers are planning to do this, its all speculation. Supergirl is more LGBTQ friendly than some other shows on the Network. One of the main characters came out a few years ago and had a girlfriend a season and has had plenty of hookups with other ladies around the Arrowverse. They even introduced a trans-woman superhero in the form of Dreamer.

Let’s talk SuperCorp. Lena Luthor was introduced in the 2nd season and has been a major character in Kara’s life ever since her introduction. Even if she isn’t involved in the plot, Kara always goes to her to talk and check in on her and worry about her. They are best friends. Since the 2 have met, there has been plenty of Les Yay going on. The writers seem to be aware of the fans wanting SuperCorp to be canon and they keep throwing in moments like Kara and Lena struggling together or Kara carrying Lena bridal style.

Why I bring this up after the announcement of Supergirl’s final season to start next year. We may get SuperCorp. Kara has a relationship with William in the show and not a single person likes this relationship. The writers may scrap it and get put Kara and Lena together for the final season. This is a big maybe though. The Supergirl writers and crew get called out a lot for queerbaiting.

   Let me know if you guys have any other examples of last season/last episode LGBTQ+ hookup.

And please let me know if you see any mistakes. This was all done in one sitting so I may have some things wrong.

no nuance november!

a/n: which is basically you have a bunch of opinions and dont explain any of em' and let your followers discuss them (much more suited for tiktok sjsnj). i'll be doing it since it compiles with many topics like fandom, racism, lgbtq+, politics and etc. i highly encourage people to do this simply because why not? feel free to send your own opinions n stuff, i wanna know what my followers think!!

disclaimer!! ⚠️ all of these are broad, not pin pointing certain people or situations. even though these are my opinions these were all in fun and have been collected over the years and will change as time goes on. nothing is sugar-coated so thread carefully. feel free to agree or disagree. :)

warning(s): mentions of racism, p*do micro aggression, fetishizing, toxicity, abuse, politics, labelling, mental health, cancelling, fandoms, ages.

key:

iswis = i said what i said, no explanation to that one.

whe = will happily explain.

stop sexualizing gay/m|m/yaoi relationships. it's not only demonizing to the males, it's also very fetishizing. (iswis)

most times /10 yall root for "feminine men" when you really mean white boys and fetishised asian men on social media. (whe)

bullying someone isnt educating. you either cant cope with the fact people have different opinions from you or you have a struggle with things either always never going your way or the opposite. (iswis)

straight people will never have a say in lgbtq+ issues. stop inserting yourself. (iswis)

white people will never have a say in poc issues. stop inserting yourself. (iswis)

poc will never have a say in black people issues. stop inserting yourself. (vice versa but im black and it happens more often to us lol) (iswis)

using the defense, "but black lives matter, right?" when one black person does something bad isnt facts, youre racist. (iswis)

fandom adults need to stop gatekeeping the target audience (demographics) to animes/shows. (iswis)

poc people can be racist. (whe)

even if a certain site was adult doesnt mean that every adult wants to see your porn. either keep it to yourself or tag properly. (iswis)

saying shit like, "im more xyz than you and im not even xyz" is not only disrespectful but disgusting. just because you believe in a popular opinion of a group does NOT suddenly make you a person in it, get over yourself. (iswis)

dont hate on people for the same things you have done at a young age. (ex: writing fanfic, seggs, etc) (iswis)

blaming a minor/someone mentally unstable for being abused is not only victim blaming, but it enables the notion that people who go those things that they wanted it. (iswis)

going off of that last point, if you do victim blame for situations and been in them yourself you either still havent coped with what you went through and still think it was your fault when it wasnt. (whe)

it's stupid people hate minors for being undeveloped when adults are the reason as to why people get traumas, abused and quite literally are destroying the world right now. (iswis)

gen z is white as fuck. (iswis)

early 2000s kids are equivalent to 90s kids who use to post, "only 90s kids under this" and post something that 2000-5 experienced. (iswis)

dear 2005+ kids, abusing harmful substances and having sex doesnt make you grown. stop it. (iswis)

adults, being able to post porn doesnt make you grown or mature, stop believing that it does. (iswis)

just because it's a coping mechanism doesnt mean it's healthy. (iswis)

avoiding conflict doesnt mean youre mature. if there is an active problem and you know ignoring it will only benefit you and not the actual problem at hand that is selfish. (iswis)

black women generate clout for everyone. when we're hated the person gets patted on the back, someone appreciates black girls they are praised, and people of many groups repeatedly steal from our culture. (iswis)

YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING BLACK AND AFRICAN AMERICAN. (whe)

if youre black you do not have to be democrat OR republican, there are many other parties. (whe)

i do not trust either parties, no minority should. (whe)

this 2020 election was not a win for poc people no matter who won. (iswis)

we do not decide whether or not what to do on columbus day. it is up to the natives themselves. (whe)

pointing out other countries (current) faults is not racist. although the issue can be misconstrued, if proper research is done it safe to say it's an educated observation or opinion. (whe)

privilege heavily varies; ex, americans are seen as privileged, while the people who live in it experience a disadvantage because of the societal standards. within the country itself. (whe)

americans, stop saying that america is the worst country and there are other countries who are suffering much worse than we are. yes sometimes it sucks but do not label it as the worst. (iswis + whe)

white people are privileged and will always be until we break the racist issues deep rooted in EVERY community. (iswis)

9/10 when marginalized groups like (women, lgbt) are mostly focused on white people and never address the poc counter parts. using the excuse "well idk much about that" is not good enough and just promotes pseudo-white supremecy. (iswis + whe)

do not use aave. (iswis)

aave is not gen z language, stop calling it that. (iswis)

gay men (white especially) use black women and get praised for the things we do that are called ghetto. (iswis)

yes it is offensive if you touch a black persons hair with or without permission. we are not your pets nor zoo animals. (iswis)

and yes it is offensive if you see a black women with beautiful hair and assume it's fake or ask, "is it yours?" "is it real?" (iswis)

using jailbait as an excuse to lewd minors is just as disgusting. (iswis)

beauty standards for women is rooted from pedophilia. (iswis)

using other pedophilic relationships as an excuse to ship yours is disturbing and you shouldnt be near children at any capacity. (iswis)

everything doesnt need a label. (iswis)

the fact that gangs have been criminalized while mafias havent is racist and feeds the stereotypes that poc are criminals. (iswis)

people are more forgiving to white predators than to poc (neither are good but people let white off the hook more often). (iswis)

if youre okay with your friends being racists, creeps, abusers you are just as bad. (iswis)

although you can like what you like, making dark content shouldnt be as glorified as much as it is. (iswis)

some kinks do deserve to be kink shamed. (iswis)

adults need to be more held accountable when held in situations with minors. (iswis + whe)

everyone perceives the world differently, many people will see the same things you see differently. (iswis)

calling people crazy for questioning the things around them doesnt make them crazy, youre just asleep. (iswis)

the human body can function without a soul. (iswis)

stop disrespecting christianity. you wouldnt do the same with hinduism, islam and etc. (iswis)

the bible was altered by white men and the true meanings have been misconstrued. (iswis + whe)

bullying someone who you THINK is problematic is not excuse to be hateful. youre just scum and feel the need to justify your actions. (iswis)

not everyone has to like you and dont need a reason. (iswis)

just because you dont like someone doesnt mean you have to make a show of it. be mature and move along. (iswis)

yes callouts/cancelling has its place but it's never done right. (iswis)

"cancel culture" wasnt a thing till white people joined in. (iswis)

dont cancel someone for stuff they did years ago. bringing it up is important but not allowing them to understand, reflect, and apologize is not only bullying it defeats the purpose of bringing awareness. (iswis)

big writers need to stop complaining when one fic or a few dont do good. not only does it rub in small writers faces, it shows that if you need people's validation to write you probably shouldnt be writing. some works will be popular and some will flop, get over it. (iswis)

stop witch hunting & crucifying people for shit you have done or your friends have done and going "uwu sorry" when you get caught. (iswis)

90% people believe content creators with bigger audiences. (iswis)

people spontaneously posting, "uwu take care of your mental health" doesnt mean that they actually care. (iswis)

people are always quick to judge people with real mental health such as depression, anxiety, adhd, and etc are always the one to turn and pretend to be exactly what they just mocked. (iswis)

dont have kids if youre not going to take care of them. (iswis)

stop baiting baby otakus (people freshly getting into anime) into watching cp like yarichin bitch club or boku no pico. they are minors, it's not funny, stop it. (iswis)

stop being protective & toxic over anime characters. if they were real they probably wouldnt even like you. (iswis)

just because someone is your friend doesnt mean that they arent toxic or abusive. (iswis)

start believing when people show their true traits. (iswis)

trauma happens in different forms, stop saying something didnt happen because it didnt go the way that has commonly happened or the way it occurred to you. (iswis)

stop saying minors should "know" while also being the loudest to say that our brains arent even developed till 25. (iswis)

the adult age should be raised to 20 years old. (iswis + whe)

tos should be raised to 16 years old. (iswis + whe)

minors take "18+" & "minors dni" out of your bio. (iswis)

yelling at minors for finding the content you freely put out without any care is your fault not theirs. (iswis)

there are plenty of adult sites that are more confined for adults but you guys ignore them because youd rather get popular on writing erotica on a popular social media platform. (iswis)

trying to cancel someone over one mistake and or blowing said things out of proportion is toxic and stupid. (iswis)

if you take someone saying they need to distance themselves for mental health reasons personally and make them feel bad for it youre an actual shitty person. (iswis)

if someone disrespects you, you have the right to say whatever you want in response. (iswis + whe)

stop hypersexualizing everything (adults especially). (iswis)

the excuses of, "they look grown" "i mentally think xyz" "theyre fake" is creepy and weird and yall should come up with a better excuse. (iswis)

yes i do believe minors should be writing for minors only, but i will not give a shit if an adult does if said characters are aged up in every work sfw or not. (iswis)

stop saying teens cant go through traumatic things and cant experience mental illnesses. it just shows that you werent cared for as a child and never get the therapy for it. (iswis)

gen z has a very colonized idea of activism. (iswis)

feminism was never for all women until the rest of us forced ourselves in. and even now it's still an issue whether or not people realize it or not. (iswis)

poc solidarity doesnt exist as much as we try to make it happen. (iswis)

colorism is an issue, and no you will not tell me otherwise. (iswis)

the hot cheeto girl is offensive and demeans black & hispanic culture. (iswis)

stop bashing minors for breathing, just say youre mad youre not young anymore and move on. (iswis)

black men are the white people of black people. (iswis)

there is no reason as to why you anyone would refer to black people as "blacks". nor should you (non-black people) be arguing whether or not to say nigga even with the hard r. (iswis)

if you (pertains to white people) think white privilege doesnt exist but go on to make fun of or ignore minority problems you are the living and breathing example of what we are talking about. (iswis)

loli/shotas are fucking disgusting and people who like it deserve to be tortured for eternity. (iswis)

seriously, stop using theyre "fake" as an excuse. (iswis)

if youre comfortable with being hateful to someone but still consider yourself a nice person because you do the hate minimum to be a decent human, youre either a narcissist or have a god complex. (iswis)

coons have no say in black issues. (iswis)

people need to stop blaming the "home wrecker" for ruining the relationship when it was the s/o's fault as well. there is no home to enter without an owner. (iswis)

stop saying any asian man yo see reminds you of a haikyuu character and or any anime character. it's racist. (iswis)

stop saying any asian person looks like a kpop idol, it's racist. (iswis)

stop downplaying and invalidating when black women go through traumatic things. not only does it promote that we have to be strong and save everyone else's problems, it says that we dont have emotions and cant be a victim which is disgusting. (iswis)

if you say shit like "minors curate your own experience" then go and turn around to say you REFUSE TO TAG YOUR SHIT YOU ARE LITERALLY MAKING THE PROCESS OF CENSORING HARD! (iswis)

white women are just as much of a problem as white men. only difference is sex keeping them apart. (iswis)

stop saying kpop is racist. expecting artists from a different political progression to understand that things can be offensive is bland. (iswis)

people accept boy groups fuck-ups more than they accept girl groups. and most times out of ten, the males are worse. (iswis)

if you engage in nsfw conversation with a minor, it is your fault they responded. (iswis)

anyone can be abused. (iswis)

stop coddling adults and bullying minors. (iswis)

most of you females have internalized misogyny and dont even know it. (iswis)

you can callout issues without having to drag a group of people. same with uplifting. (iswis)

if youre fine with being a sheep unfollow me. (iswis)

seven deadly sins is not a good anime. (iswis)

there is a difference between boku no hero academia fans based on if they call it "bnha" or "mha". (iswis)

ships literally are not serious stop harassing people over ships. (iswis)

do not harass creators of series because they do something with THEIR story. make your own. (iswis)

stop saying horikoshi sexualizes his women too much/mineta is the worst when you guys enjoy shows like one piece, hunter x hunter, naruto and etc. (iswis)

minors often or not are sheeps (heres your sign you dont have to agree with everything other people say). (iswis)

just because minors can be mature doesnt mean that they are adults. stop treating them as such. (iswis)

we should give more voice actors in the asmr (idk what to call it) community more recognition instead of just one. (iswis)

writers are the ones that send hate to other writers. anon hate is so corny and if you do it that goes to show that you are truly a toxic person wearing a fake mask of kindness when youre not on anonymous. (iswis)

stop being mean to smaller writers because they did not have as much luck as you. (iswis)

stop blaming your readers because one story flopped. (iswis)

ignoring someone's shitty actions encourages them to do it more. (iswis)

going to school and getting a job is much harder now than it was before. (iswis)

being an adult doesnt automatically make you mature. just because youre older doesnt mean youre better or you opinion is more valuable. it just shows that you werent heard when you were younger. (iswis)

there should be no reason as to why someone of the age of 18 should be having any romantic relationship with someone who is a minor. (iswis)

hawks is a shitty character. (iswis)

bakudeku isnt toxic. (iswis)

just because bakugo is in a ship, doesnt mean it's toxic. (iswis)

stop shipping male characters together simply because they have screen time together. it's creepy. (iswis)

almost all of 1-a students have ptsd and anything close to the after effects of being traumatized. (iswis)

no, editing characters to be poc is not racist. youre just mad they arent "white" when they never were. theyre asian and come in many colors as well. (iswis)

wanting to only be with a different race to get a mixed baby is fucking disgusting. (iswis)

stop ignoring pedo relationships between older women and younger boys and or with older women in general. (iswis)

males can be abused, stop telling them to suck it up or that they cant go through things. (iswis)

shaming young females about things they cant control is misogynistic and is damaging to their identity and shouldnt be excused. (iswis + whe)

not all females have to shave. (iswis)

what you dont like in someone is the projections you see of yourself on other people that you dont like about yourself. (whe)

popular bl stories extremely misrepresent gay relationships and frankly it's disgusting that theyre boosted as much as they are. (iswis)

jjba isnt ugly, you just watch animes to sexualize the characters. (iswis)
