#with no nuance. no recognition

[rebellum]

The whole transandrophobia discussion thing is weird bc it feels like it's a bunch of poc and jewish trans people being like "here are my experiences of how specifically being MASCULINE had affected me, and the discrimination and violence I experienced based on that. And here is how that relates to me being a racial/ethnic minority"

And then a few loud white trans people going "ohhh you wanna be oppressed so bad you *slur*. This is why there aren't any poc in your movement it's because REAL poc understand intersectionality"

#hot take white culturally christian or athiest leftests do not properly interpret white jewish ppl #like as a poc i and other poc understand that white jewish ppl often get racial privilege #but a) not always b) they experience oppression based off of their ethnicity #idk from my perspective it seems like white goyim either see jewish ppl as 'the disgusting exotic enemy' or 'basically WASPS but they #wanna feel special' #with no nuance. no recognition #look maybe this next part is bc i didnt grow up with jewish ppl and therefore didnt know until I was 18/19 that jewish ppl can count as #white. but like. idk how to say this. i dont wanna speak over white jewish ppl. but like. #jewish ppl that have obvious jewish features (whether Ashkenazi facial features OR they dont have those but wear eg kippahs) #arent like. white. idk pls correct me if this is antisemitic or incorrect or something. #but like. light skinned =/= white obviously. #i just struggle to see how my bestfriend with her lovely dark eyes and curls and nice nose counts as 'white' when ppl call her the k slur #across the street. ykwim? #like white doesnt mean light skinned. it means 'part of the in-group of white ppl' #like my ex who is white and jewish? yeah hes white. if he didnt wear his necklace then goyim wouldnt know. you know #like obvs he still experiences ethnic oppression but he doesnt experience racial oppression #but other ppl with more prominent eg ashkenazi (im singling them out bc most jewish ppl here are ash.) like i dont GET how they have racial #privilege.

if a human asks a gnome when gnomes reach adulthood, they'll probably pin it somewhere between 20 and 40, depending on how they're interpreting the question; if an elf asks, they'll say "oh, we don't"

#speaking of 'getting mad because people don't meaningfully engage with fantasy lifespans' #EVERYONE overlooks the cultural nuance in dnd that elves are /physically/ mature not much later than humans #but are not considered an adult until some self-declared point of maturity usually around the age of 100 #that is. DIFFERENT. than 'a 50 year old elf is basically a literal child' no it ISN'T! it's a CULTURAL RECOGNITION #elves don't think it's possible for humans to mature into a really meaningful adulthood because they literally don't live long enough #'poor things have to settle down and work and marry and have children and die before they can even figure themselves out :/' #gnomes don't subscribe to this because of course they don't it's a cultural viewpoint but also they largely think it's stupid #oh yeah? you're all done growing up after 100 years? nothing left to learn about yourself as a person? #you Become An Adult when you're Wise And Mature which is a single static thing that happens in the first 1/6th of your life? #wow amazing it must be cool to be so enlightened 🙄 #... I need a general worldbuilding musing tag agsjkfdhsj #I guess for now #gnome thoughts #it's almost entirely elf thoughts but that's my only relevant established tag :'D #gnome stuff

thinking about how raph, april, and mikey are less focused on by the fandom than donnie and leo, the only two main characters in rottmnt with white voice actors

#to be clear this is not a “callout” nor am i trying to inspire discourse/attack anybody #it’s just something i’ve been thinking about for a while that i feel deserves more... ig recognition? by the fandom at large #like i know a part of it is definitely the shows’ fault and their own unspoken biases #but i can’t turn a blind eye when i see human versions of the turtles that consistently have see and lee be lighter skinned #even if they are all represented as poc #like to reiterate: this is not a call-out #it could absolutely just be the niche of the fandom that i find myself in (in which this is a massive self report) #and i absolutely need to do better as well!! #but i haven’t seen this talked about as much as i feel it should #esp with april— i mean i already am aware about the fandom bias toward male characters #but it makes it doubly hard for her character which is a shame seeing as she is a queen #+ my fav representation of april in the entirety of the tmnt canon so far #i understand with mikey that it could be excused due to the fact that his character was focused on less #but raph? he has sooo much good characterization that i often see given to leo in fic/fanart #like i said: this is a lot more nuanced than what i’ve talked about #and i am by no means perfect #i just think we as a fandom should at the very least recognize this aspect of ourselves #idk i’m definitely not the best person to be talking about this #but i’ve been turning it over in my head for a while so i figured i might as well just. say it #rottmnt #rottmnt meta #racism #tw racism #internal bias #if anybody has something to add feel free #just like. be civil please? like i don’t think anyone is doing it on purpose (obviously) #just something to be aware of

i don’t actually think ava kingdomhearts is secretly evil nor do i really want her to be but dang if it doesn’t make for a lot of fun ideas and mental blorbo rotation

#she’s just so interesting she’s so cool i love her #ok maybe i do slightly want her to be evil but ONLY as an anti hero #like what exactly did luxu tell her that suddenly made her turn around #and lead her union towards the battlefield insisting that this had to be done #when she had previously been such a pacifist #what’s with that ‘some things aren’t for you to know’ line #where exactly did she go after that #she’s one of the most interesting characters in the series but as a mobile game exclusive charactsr whose true face has never been shown #she’s simply not getting the recognition she deserves #and like. girl power. this is a fascinating woman just look at her #like there is clearly a lot of nuance in play here and i don’t want any of it to be glossed over #kingdom hearts #kh ava #master ava #mine: kh

it's gonna take a while to get used to this

#gravity falls #transcendence au #dipper pines #alcor the dreambender #post-transcendence obviously was rough for him but i mean #i think you're always aware of every little nuance of your body subconsciously #and having that recognition #and familiarity just. #suddenly stripped away #would be confusing n stressful. #'i know ___ like i know the back of my hand' #but he DOESNT . #his hands arent HIS anymore. #how can you see the world when you cant even see yourself #i have too many thoughts about this au dammit #anyways might color this later but my attention span Does Not Exist so who really knows

Some people wouldn’t know good taste if it was spat into their mouths.

#feeling salty tonight about some stupid fucking people #stop presenting your opinion as fact when you seem to deliberately misinterpret texts for your own ends #you project wildly it’s a bad look cut that shit out #learn to appreciate nuance #you’ll enjoy things so much more instead of constantly digging your heels in about the first inclination you ever had #learn to challenge yourself and grow and you’ll probably open up more #everything is subjective but sometimes someone’s rotten brain mangles a story beyond recognition and then yeah they’re just wrong #shoving every story and character and author into a box is dumb and you’re limiting yourself #remove the boundaries and expand your mind and you might find you enjoy things much more #constantly ​hating on things is exhausting. wouldn’t you like to rest? #take a deep breath and let it fucking go man this is stupid hill to die on #nothing is as black and white as you say and your extreme views are unfairly coloring the text in a negative light #it’s not that bad in fact I think it’s great and you’re a moron to write it off so flippantly bc you clearly don’t get it #death of the author but holy shit the blatant bad faith readings feels like deliberate misunderstanding #your criticisms don’t make sense they don’t even align with what’s on page you’re just rationalizing your negativity #if you find it so unappealing then fuck off #bc I do find it appealing and your rancid viewpoint is vomit inducing #from an enthusiast standpoint you sound stupid from an academic standpoint you’re just wrong #if this literature is so depraved and unpalatable for your modern tastes #go lick a tiktok and leave medieval literature out of it mkay? #end rant

GUYS

CAN IT BE

actual...good analysis...about Steve going back in time...ON TIKTOK????

#livia speaks #genuinely I'm reeling #no gross insinuations about peggy #no Steve character assassination #a recognition that Steve might have tried to help bucky but didn't succeed bc time is complicated and things are beyond his control #HELLOOOOO THERE IS A CORNER OF THE FANDOM THAT HAS FOUND NUANCE STOP THE PRESSES

It is really sad that Anders is no longer the same person after he merged with Justice and it’s even sadder that he’s not even capable of recognizing that. I get it I get it it’s a trauma metaphor whatever but good god. They messed up a perfectly good twink is what they did. Look at him. He’s got anxiety

#no he was not healthy before and yes all the feelings of hatred towards Templars were still there #but he. hm. withdrew #justice plugged the cracks. bitches hate nuance #like as bleak as it was I wonder if there was joy in escapes and laughter and recognition that he was due compassion afterwards #and I wonder if Justice doesn’t let him remember those parts anymore #not maliciously. just because he is so crowded full of Justice’s singular emotion it elides the softer moments

I havent talked near enough about how much I loved visions s2 I need to rectify that

#full page essay on every great thing in it incoming tomorrow #the style. the innovative stories. the nuance. the recognition of black culture. finally a story about Josephine baker’s #contribution as a spy against the nazi #and from a French studio !! also I love so many character design more than I can put into words #i should rewatch it

Trying not to imagine the unhinged reblog responses I could generate if I sprinkled just a handful of phrases from this chapter of my zoology textbook in a tumblr post. Y’all would be So Normal about kin recognition and altruistic suicide. Surely no one would run wild with the concept of female mate choice

#txt #is it v distracting that my brain pipes in with alternative associations of technical terms? yes #will kin recognition now be seated into my brain ready to go knowledge for my exam? also yes #you win some you lose some #but I think if more of the tumblr folks without reading comprehension or nuanced thought get into zoology we all lose #there’s some really cool stuff in here but I don’t even want to imagine what the tradfems could read into animal behavior

I'm rereading lux, for like 3rd of 4th time now, and I love college Jess and Rory so so so much 😍

It got me thinking though, in your AUs Lorelai either doesn't know much about Jess (e.g. Distilla) or she doesn't like him because it's canon compliant. Have you ever thought what it would be like if Lorelai didn't hate Jess? Like if the first time they met she sympathized with him without being patronizing. If she actually gave him a chance and tried to understand where he was coming from. Would they get along? Would she see the similarities between them? Would he? Would she treat him the same way she did on the show? Would she not want Rory to date him anyway? Would she encourage their friendship and then relationship? What would that kind of AU be like?

this is definitely an interesting concept!!! i kinda like either keeping jess separate from lorelai or making their relationship rocky at first bc it’s another plotline that i can shape and develop throughout the AU, but this’d def be something new and fresh! i will say that in RA their relationship isn’t exactly antagonistic and lor does have a good amount of understanding toward him tho, which’ll hopefully be more along the lines of what you’re looking for <3

#asks #anon #gilmore girls #idk they’re both so interesting and similar and while i hate that lor STAYED on bad terms with jess in canon #i absolutely love that they started out that way yk? #just that friction. the self recognition. the lack of trust on jess’s part and the paranoia on lorelai’s #i think it adds layers to their relationship and gives them such a nuanced foundation for what could be a great friendship #and they’re getting there in wuib #i have this scene between them in the latest instalment that i love #but anyway that’s not rlly what you were asking fkfjfjf im getting sidetracked

Hot take

Howls moving castle is an overhyped movie and the main people who watch it and are fans of it just simp for howl.

Runs away

#I still like this movie and all and I’m not calling it bad- I just think other films should get recognition and love too within studio ghib #yea #howls moving castle #studio ghibli #hot take #no nuance november #it’s not a bad film it’s just not my fav is all #also I don’t simp for howl #idk if that matters

i dont want zenos to have a redemption arc so much as that i want him to do good things because its convenient. no moral 180 he just realizes he won't get attention as long as there are bad things happening so he helps get rid of the bad things

#IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN IDK #'my friend spar with me' 'i cant im trying to find a dragon in the void' 'oh ok' and then he speedruns the plot for you #gaius has the nuanced wellwritten redemption my dearest Elder Blorbo but zenos deserves to be adopted. #my poor little meow meow quite literally. hes a spoiled cat #i love him so much. sorry. fucked up little guy in my screen #3 forms of redemption arcs. gaius actually Literally going forward trying to be better. nero's quest to remarriage. and whatever the fuck #zenos was doing between the bit with alisaie & the end of ew #is it...bad of me that theyre some of my favorite characters... #uhhhhhhhhhhh #aymeric pretty ? #IM JOKIGNG IVE HAD WORSE FAVES 😭😭 #nero is still my favorite character in the game not really for any reason other than he amuses me and #sometimes forces me through recognition of the self through the pixels of my screen #i love the main characters very much but hmrhmhrhgmh moral complexity.... #anyway im going back to nanowrimo i was putting valerian through the mourning process again for the um. 5th time #6th??? #idk how many aus i have at this point that still follow the general plot. valerian forever doomed to mourn his loved ones or whatever #in one au his husband survives but their kid dies which is arguably worse #not to ramble about my ocs but some of val's strong attachment to luca (the kid) is actually just because of the torment he went through #to have them. like as a trans man with severe dysphoria. he worked way too hard to let them just. leave #lmao #this guy has suffered so much. hell be fine tho. i love him too much to make his suffering endless #poor little meow meow of the ocs

[dana-duchovny]

Also, so sorry to Misha Collins (ilu Misha) and I know it’s been like coming up on two years now or whatever but getting your character to ambiguously say “I love you” and then die is not and should not be something amazing or groundbreaking or something you had to fight hard for. Fucking yikes. I’m so over it. 

#I don't even care #that there's obviously more nuance here in this Chili's tonight #Don't fucking care #I've been cured #Also fuck the CW #but also #pour one out #for us and the decades we've spent #keeping the media we consume afloat #our passion is not a joke #shipping is not a joke #it is for FUN but it is not a joke #we should not be so starved for representation and recognition that we accept affirmation barely crossing the line from mockery or contempt #we deserve better #just like #dean winchester deserved better #okay off my soapbox now #destiel #ofmd

whenever my brother reads me a reddit post abt literally anything i suddenly get the reading comprehension and critical thinking skills of a twitter user

#like all common sense leaves my body just so i can disagree w him aldkskfksgh #just now he showed me smth like some guy literally transformed himself beyond recognition to look like an 'alien' #nd then wonders why he cant get a job and ppl dont treat him normally. and im like. damn thats messed up what he did to himself but #its not smrh that should affect him getting a job like thats discrimination then innit #and my god idk for a moment i was like. damn am i contradicting myself maybe? but then im thinking and like. sure like hes messed up #for chopping his nose off and doing all sorts of stuff to look 'inhuman' but like. again im thinking it shouldnt rlly matter #when it comes to employment #but then what did my fam hear? 'oh everyone should do whatever they want and never face any real world consequences for their actions' #like come onnnn. i guess they just wanted me to nod and say whoa damn thats messed up get a load of this idiot what did he expect to happen #like come onnnnn there is Nuance and i have a severe case of stupid brain where i latch onto a perceived injustice to fight abt #ik its an issue but also id love to hear what yall think #piksla.txt
