a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

THE WAY I SPED TO HIT REBLOG-

Sketch of hugs we wanted so much to see Neil in 🥺❤️

amberpriceenthusiast

I desperately crave a friendship like the teen titans have in Gabriel Picolo’s art

I also have this au where Neil is quite literally a resident in a mental hospital and Andrew is there to interview him for his criminal profile classes.

When the assignments is given, fucking everyone wants to go in with Nathaniel Wesninski, the last remaining Wesninski.

But just a few students are allowed to even have the option to even have a single session with him based both in their grades and their behaviors. Andrew is, of course, one of the best ones in the class, and a fucking prick. So he gets to have the opportunity.

They have to do an interview with Neil so he can choose who he's going to work with because he's a bit of a picky one in choosing who he's gonna work with.

The only reason Neil is the program is because of his deal with the FBI to help.

He doesn't sees how this is going to help in any way to society but ok dude.

He hates everyone that gets into his cell.

They keep talking about how good their grades are and how they can help him. One offers to write a book about him. Some girl insinuates something about sex favors. And he's about to fucking strangle them. All of them.

Like honestly please shut up.

Then Andrew gets in and he's horrible at the whole physiological aspect of this.

But he makes a joke about killing his classmates and Nathaniel laughs so much.

Then Andrew mentions how Kevin day is one of his classmates.

Neil loses it. Genuinely loses it. He's going crazy.

Andrew mumbles that he's NOT about to get other exy obsessed bitch in his life.

Neil laughs a lot more.

So then when everyone is expecting for the results at the next day in classes, everyone is super surprised that Nathaniel Wesninski, the butcher's son, a known killer and criminal decides that yeah, Andrew Minyard is the only one that he's going to get session with.

Andrew wants to kill himself because he knows exy has something to do in that choice but that's life.

You have only made her stronger.

That is the face of a creature who has found her true purpose.

You know what I'm a slut for? When a character visibly drops a ruse. Like, the way their face changes the moment they give up a facade and reveal themselves.

This applies to revealing love, apathy, anger, evil intent. I mcfuckin love it.

meatpuppit

actually nothing but respect for the local sex toy store in my city just telling people they can shoplift morning after pills if they need to.

sepulchralblues

Fox movie nights where Andrew is squished between Neil and the armrest, and he’s grumbling silently to himself about agreeing to come to this stupid thing, but then there’s a weight on his shoulder and soft hair tickling his neck. There’s warm breaths brushing over the exposed skin of his upper arms. There’s Neil’s head resting on his shoulder.

Movie nights aren’t so bad anymore.

Remember being 12 and your parents are doing one of those grocery shopping trips that for some reason took literal hours. And you're like, 'I would rather sit in the car with my book than be hauled around the store for an eternity.'

That was the BEST reading. Grocery store parking lots are liminal spaces and just optimal for reading. Don't ask me why.

I'm an actual adult with a mortgage now and have (unfortunately) too much going on at home to have the peace to really get into a book, but waiting in the car is still 10/10 reading.

Weird rant over.

Feel free to share your Ideal Reading Environment as an adult with Responsibilities.

Tbh I think many people take for granted how much gif makers do, and the fact that this site is unique in their existence of them

Thank you to everybody with the skills to share snippets of media I would not otherwise have seen or had the opportunity of hearing of. Gifs are often the first way I hear of something personally, and frequently the reason I give any new-to-me movie or show a try

ash-and-bone-whump

Give me whumpees that come out the other side dangerous.

Whumpees that have been absolutely shattered, but instead of breaking into harmless sand they stick themselves back together into razor sharp blades and edges.

Whumpees that have been through hell, and you know just by looking at them that it made them deadly instead of weak.

Whumpees that are starved for touch and affection and will cave into any hug, but will just as easily break the spines of any who would hurt them again without hesitation.

Whumpees that are calculating and clever in the desperate survivalist way that forces them to stay sane and smart and not give in to despair.

Whumpees that did not get rescued so they rescued themselves.

Wei Ying tells me about resurrection - Natalie Wee (Beast at Every Threshold)

[Image ID a poem entitled ‘WEI YING TELLS ME ABOUT RESURRECTION’ that reads: I fell into a graveyard & crawled out a ghost. I was a relic of an age / no grace could touch, I slept in the underworld so I wouldn't look /at my fists. Daughter, you too reached the day through a blade / of light. In another life, you spend months bent over bins / doggedly chewing whatever kindness survives a stranger's hands / & the year prior kneeling before a boy who knows the rift / between a life measured in government paper & disappearing / is how quietly you scream inside the smallest hour. We own nothing /but our ends. I am no prophet, but know this: any devil / worth their salt swears fealty to blood alone, / knowing hurt, like any animal, lives only to bury itself / in the heat of its truest grief. In place of my human face / I stride into a veil of killing season. Because I was a bride / to violence, I kissed every crime I could name & smithed a halo / of their architects. Anything can be a weapon in the right clutch. / When a man next raises his fist, unhinge your jaw & retch / the knife that skeletons you. Child, be ruthless. Be cut / throat. In all of eternity, you learn there is no forgiveness / to be crowned with. A joke I was once told goes, I didn't choose / this life, this life chose me. Fuck that. Choose a hell / of your own making over the hell that unmakes you, Flower / a garden of rage & eat & eat & eat. :End ID]
