#this is how a lot of y'all sound

My favorite part of House of the Dragon was when Alicent forced Viserys to marry her at gunpoint, bullied and physically abused Rhaenyra for every second afterwards, violently beat Helaena so badly that she sprints out of the room every time Alicent walked in, tortured Viserys to death, called her son's victims lying whores and killed them, spent all of her dialogue talking about how much she hates women and how big of a raging misogynist she is, and hired the entire FBI to stalk Rhaenyra. And then of course my favorite part of her fandom is the people who go on lengthy Lori Alexander-type screeds about how women shouldn't vote and how Trump is the greatest president of all time.

My other favorite part of House of the Dragon was when Rhaenyra bullied the shit out of Alicent their entire friendship, deliberately raised her sons to be domestic terrorists at elementary school age, slept with every single man in Westeros and Essos, lied to Alicent about everything including her own name, held Viserys at dragonpoint and forced him to only pay attention to her, was a worse ruler than Maegor, Aerys II and Joffrey combined, and plotted to have Aegon II assassinated from the second he emerged from Alicent's womb. Oh and my favorite part of her fandom is the people who have created a religion around her and believe her to be the second coming of Christ.

#this is sarcasm #just in case #this is how a lot of y'all sound #inspired by my sister's post about taylor swift at the grammys #alicent hightower #rhaenyra targaryen #team black #team green #look i lean more green but overall i'm a centrist for everyone but my girl helaena #and my most hated enemy vizzy

i'm gonna log off for a while because i'm really mentally drained from constantly hearing how unhappy and disappointed some of you guys were with both SB and CH'snendings and developments.

i know some of you guys come from a good place and mean no harm but imagine working on something for so long and then you yourself are already sad about how things ended but you wanna use it as a way to do better next time but people constantly tell you how you should do better next time and its always "i was so excited but it never came" and "i wished things would have gone this way" after you spent days crying out of frustration because your brain didn't corporate.

people who have never written (one shots or series doesnt matter) don't know the burden of leaving unfinished works up there. i keep telling you guys that i tried so hard to somehow give you guys an ending because if i hadn't you guys would have never received ANY ending so i tried to make the best of it.

i dont take the hate to heart anymore bc i couldnt care less and i know as a writer i should be open to criticism but i'm a little tired of my work being constantly nitpicked when i do this for fun.

i know updating daily was what burnt me out pls stop telling me that i obviously overestimated myself i fucking know.

whatever, it actually doesn't matter anymore because CH is over and i dont think i'll ever write smaus that long ever again bc the criticism is so not worth the mental effort and stress.

i do this for FUN. you know how artists doodle in their notebooks, this is what this blog is to me. i make mistakes, i over/underestimate things and myself bc this is life. it's just..not that deep for y'all to constantly camp in my inbox and make me feel bad about it when i already accepted it.

i'm gonna do some self reflection and think about it all so take care babies 🤍

#; rambles #i've literally been receiving huge paragraphs about just how excited people were about certain things in both CH and SB and several people #have told me how i should have just stopped daily updating and listening to y'all and taking breaks and not burn myself out bc now they're #disappointed and it sounds a LOT like my parents when they realised im just another burnt out former gifted child so #i'll see you guys around 🤍

The thing about assigned sex labels (AFAB/AMAB) is that a lot of its usefulness comes from discussions around medicine (though there are still issues with this). In a social sense, AFAB/AMAB isn't very useful to describe peoples' lived experience.

Assigned sex happens to people as babies, and "AFAB" and "AMAB" describe very broadly sex categories. Assigned sex acknowledges past assignment, not current reality with regards to one's sex and/or gender.

I find that when people try to apply sex assignment to social settings (e.g., "all AFABs experience this!"), it comes very close not only to misgendering, but also to sex essentialism in many cases.

I simply think there are too many assumptions made about what every person AMAB has (such as a certain body, a certain gender, and certain lived experiences) and what every person AFAB has. We cannot make sweeping generalizations about people, and I think a lot of people seem to forget this especially with regards to transition and/or "rare" sexes.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #all this to say that i don't really like how people slap afab and amab around for social things #like it comes across (to me) like just saying 'women' and 'men' but as an acronym instead... #...and you can see why i don't like that as a trans person i hope... #...i also don't think it is my responsibility to tell y'all my sex or what my sex entails as a trans person... #...(it also bothers me when people say 'afabs' and 'amabs' like idk) #the only people who theoretically NEED to know your sex are certain doctors (like a gp for example) or a partner you are with #i don't think the general public is entitled to your private information - including your sex/transition status/anything else #you are NOT required to tell people if you're transitioning or if you're a trans man or trans woman or literally ANYTHING #in fact that information can put you in danger ESPECIALLY if you have other identities (e.g. being Black/disabled/queer/ect) #i'm sorry if this sounds disjointed ummmmm i have a lot of Thoughts and Feelings about this and it's sometimes hard to get that across well

they’re SO married!!!

#rhett and link #link with a beard #mythical society #btm #how the hell sometimes they say the most romantic things ever and not even realize #adfsdgfhjhh #we were each other's muse #PLEASE #who even says something like this #they're so married #i can't y'all #coming back to this post to say - it took me two full hours to realize that they're in the skynwallz room in the creative house #lmao #but with a lot more sound proofing #WOW #i was staring at them not the walls okay #i didn't notice #my post

soooooo we never got to see that much of the societal complexities or internal power structures of the Hidden City in Rise and i was thinking it would be interesting to explore (i have a LOT of headcanons).

if I were to make a comic that also explores it,,,?? 👀

#so Nova has lore guys #and a LOT of it ties into the Hidden City and how i headcanon it works down there #so i've been brainstorming a comic that explores Nova's backstory and then later ties into Rise post-movie #would that be a point of interest for y'all? 👀 #(very much may do it anyway for my own satisfaction cuz it sounds fun but) #interest check #? #also usagi and big mama would feature in this as well as the Rise turtles later on #*stares in 10 pages of general brainstorming notes* #stars speaks #rottmnt #rise nova #tmnt oc #rottmnt hidden city #i was almost a sociology major guys forgive me i love examining society

anti ai art arguments try not to be fascist or ableist for two seconds challenge

#challenge failed immediately. #i think i'd respect this side of the debate a lot more if y'all weren't constantly being so conservative and reactionary about it #but instead of arguments about the exploitation of artists we get y'all arguing about what real art actually is (which is pointless and #stupid and will circle back to fascist talking points eventually) #and people arguing that ai art is bad because 'you didn't work hard enough on it!!' (do you realize how conservative you sound.) #idk what i expected from the 'uses fascist rhetoric when it suits them despite claiming to be leftist' website honestly it just sucks #ai discourse #ai art #marshy speaks

Song of the Day: December 6

"Your Body Is A Weapon" by the Wombats

#song of the day #'someone protect me from the one I love' looping in my head #this is another fun song to sing. who comes up with lines like 'my body is a temple of doom / doomed not to be / by your side' #I have to admit also for all that some of my favorite people are very guitar people I do not have an ear for it #so the Wombats like Greta Van Fleet and a couple others sound like older bands to me. very very surprised to find this song is from 2015 #I mentioned the other day that I usually have an origin story for most of the songs I know because mostly I get them from specific places #recommendations and curated playlists and such #and partially that really helps my memory for songs! they all come with strong associations! self-creating mnemonics! #but also it really skews my perception of when songs are from and how popular they are #the other day I played a song for Nick that I thought he'd like #and I did tell him that I thought it was probably a cover because a lot of the other songs on the playlist were #and he looked at me like I was truly stupid and he said 'it's definitely a cover. because that is a Taylor Swift song' #and I was genuinely just like neat! good to know! #I did listen to the original and I do think I like the cover better but my taste is so specific and scattered that it means nothing #I also apparently heard Sleep Token's new album right as it came out in a way that impressed Nick by like #how cutting-edge my metal knowledge was I guess. hipster-style immediate knowledge of the new release. before it was cool etc #and I had to be like nah bro it was a fic title I googled I get no credit for this. also I didn't know the band existed before this album #there's no way I was looking for the new release. the song the album and the band all just came into being before me simultaneously #this ramble is really long now and I feel like y'all get the point #the Wombats are cool though

#6 hours and i'm trying not to feel sad about my domestic prompt i posted today but #sometimes as really any creative person will tell you it's hard to feel like you're doing something people are interested in because #of numbers which i hate the numbers game #but idk 6 hours and 35 notes is kinda sad for me i guess #i'm not asking for pity reblogs and know people often also put this stuff in queues #but idk #i'm also post-period so i think i'm in my silly sads #bc i'm still grateful for any like or reblog and the people who write very kind things in the comments and stuff #like y'all i love y'all sometimes i do a lil screencap and shove it in my 'silly sads' folder to read when i feel like this #idk. i know my art isn't for everyone and suptober i don't use a lot of colors and their noses are big and maybe i'm not as expressive as #i'd like to be with my figures and faces and art in general but idk #i'm in my ~*silly sads*~ i jut don't know how to like idk #i hate talking about this bc in one voice I'll sound SUPER ungrateful for people who usually always like comment or share my stuff and i'm #NOT whatsoever ungrateful like i said i store you in my silly sads folder lol y'all are the whole reason why i keep drawing #i just wish i knew how to feel like an artist i guess

look, I've decided that everything george lucas was involved in is canon star wars, and everything else is basically fanfiction that I can approve of or disregard at will.

This is going to be a very important part of my life philosophy come this August.

#like literally if the show does something i dont like i'm just going to act like it did not happen #i'm going to be so deep in denial y'all #no jacen? wdym??? he's right over here learning how to cheat at sabacc from chopper #wildly ooc characters? yikes. dave your earlier fics were a lot better. #ezra or sabine dies? sorry can't hear you over the sound of them adopting 5 kids and living happily ever after #i know it's a weird thing but literally just recently it occurred to me that this is ALL MADE UP. #NONE OF THIS HAPPENS FOR REAL. THIS IS ALL A CONSTRUCT OF A HUMAN PERSON'S IMAGINATION #THERE IS NO RULE OR LAW ANYWHERE THAT SAYS WE HAVE TO RESPECT WHAT SOMEONE SAYS HAPPENED NEXT #we can JUST IGNORE IT #and there will be fans like 'but it happened in the show it's canon' and cool! fine! i literally could not care less! #IT'S SO FREEING!!!! JUST STOP CARING BABEY!!!

i can't Not take your little "haha ew men" jokes to heart when 2 thirds of the people laughing along with you in the notes are terfs

bioessentialism is still shit even if it's for laughs/satirical/pwning the patriarchy or whatever your little excuse du jour is

#i am begging y'all to understand that the LGBTQ community isn't woman fem & non-binary only #''oh you must not care about women if you don't like anti-men jokes" #i can not even begin to explain to you how well my fist fits on your face #learn to cope with shit like a normal fucking person #''oh men have hurt me a lot so it's ok it's my trauma response'' #ok. every single person who has caused me the most harm in life has been a woman. do you see me being a misogynist ? #your revenge mentality is getting you nowhere have a glass of juice and calm down #also no matter how many little 'but not trans guys ! i'm not saying that about transmascs !' disclaimers you half-heartedly throw around #you're still insinuating that people of my gender have no value and deserve no respect #do you think maybe that sounds familiar ???

The next time I see someone making fun of an Irish accent or the language I am legally allowed to hunt that person for sport /hj

#i made a textpost #Anyway #Seán is really interested in Irish history and culture for obvious reasons #And the more he infodumps to me about it the more this bothers me #Like not only are you making fun of my husband's voice #But. These people were persecuted #Enslaved and demonized and STARVED??? THE FUCKING FAMINE??? (Spoiler #not really just a famine) #They've been treated like shit for their whole people's history #And their language which has plenty of internal rules and logic is mocked for being “English but fucked up” #It's spelled the way it sounds. It's just a different language #And they STILL have to live with the association of being “dumb drunken brutes” that was pushed on them #And everyone's cool with it because??? Why??? #And a lot of fantasy #Hell MOST OF IT in the West #Is very entangled with Celtic folklore #Like y'all gonna steal their culture and aesthetics for your DND campaign #But also make fun of them for how they talk? #Stop it stop it PLEASEEE I will bite you #Lindsay Ellis literally had a part in her video like “cultural appropriation is okay if it's against a historical oppressor” but.. #She had an Irish ring #An IRISH RING #Are we just lumping them in with Britain??? #How did we as a universe forget that Irish people have been oppressed for a really long time #How did we forget the injustices against them #And decide that they're just the stereotypes invented of them #While removing the context of how those got there #LIKE #idk. #This was a ramble but
