I really struggle with people who think Wednesday/Enid are incompatible as a romantic relationship but then find them compatible as friends. Not all friendships are romantic, but every good romantic relationship has a good friendship in it’s foundation. I get we’re all here shipping fictional characters so you might not necessarily care if the romantic relationship is healthy or not so this isn’t me telling you you have to like Wednesday/Enid because they would be the healthiest ship. This is me explaining why I think their friendship could evolve into a really healthy romantic relationship for Wednesday and for Enid. 

Wednesday and Enid are opposites. That’s literally why Enid was created, to be someone for Wednesday to bounce off and to grow from. But when I see that as a reason for why they’re incompatible romantically it drives me nuts because there’s no nuance in that. It ignores all the important ways they’re similar.

- Enid is an individual who refuses to try and blend in. Wednesday is an individual who refuses to try and blend in. 

-Wednesday wants her family to accept her for who she is and not to mould her into a version of themselves. Enid wants her family to accept her for who she is and not to mould her into a version of themselves. 

- Enid is very competitive and will stop at nothing to win. Wednesday is very competitive and will stop at nothing to win.

- Enid believes she is a disappointment to her family and those around her. Wednesday believes she is a disappointment to her family and those around her. 

-Enid doesn’t want to end up alone. Wednesday also doesn’t want to end up alone. 

Their friendship is based on compromise, vulnerability, trust and understanding. Those are literally the cornerstones of any good romantic relationship. 

Wednesday, a character who compromises for very few, is very quick to start compromising on the small things to make Enid happy. The very first truly vulnerable moment we see both girls have is their conversation on the balcony where they both open up to each other. The entire reason behind their fight is Wednesday breaking Enid’s trust because up until that moment they both have shown a great deal of trust in each other. Wednesday telling Enid not to put the tape back is her way of saying she wants to build that trust back up again with less walls between them. There’s a mutual understanding that develops over time as you see them open up to each other. This is shown through simple things like Wednesday not immediately lighting the snood on fire because she understands what it means to Enid. 

Then there’s the simple fact that their friendship is the reason both characters grow. So many people tell Wednesday she’s difficult and will end up alone and she reacts with little to zero care. Enid tells her? She just about bursts into a rendition of Avril Lavigne’s ‘When you’re gone’. Enid begins to care less what other people think of her and becomes increasingly authentic in her own actions because of Wednesday. The Enid of episode 1 is running into the forest holding a disembodied hand to face a Hyde. The Wednesday of episode 1 isn’t hugging anyone. The mark they leave on each other is indelible. No other character impacts them the way they impact each other. 

Like you don’t have to ship them or like them as a romantic pairing, but to argue that their friendship could only ever be platonic is just a bad argument. It’s the very reason they are so damn easy to ship.

The other thing about measles is that it resets your body’s memory of other diseases. So all those times you’ve gotten sick? Your body’s memory cells no longer remember those illnesses, so even if you get the same type of illness again your body will react like it’s the first time you’ve been sick.

It’s so much worse than “just a disease”.

antivaxxers also, in part, helped sabotaged the human lyme disease vaccine for lyme disease caused by borrelia burgdorferi infection (until 2016 the only known species of lyme disease causing bacteria in the USA). In 1998, the first lyme disease vaccine for the strain of the bacteria prevalent in the USA licensed. It passed clinical trials and was shown to be safe and effective; it was between 76 and 92% effective at preventing lyme disease with 3 injections. Antivaxxers proceeded to abuse the adverse affect reporting system, often complaining of arthritis, and this caused media and general hysteria about the vaccine. if you remember the flu vaccine hysteria around the swine flu epidemic, it was kind of like that. despite double-blind trials conducted both before and after licensing, that was unable to support their claims and instead displaying that the vaccine was safe and effective, the damage was done, and the vaccine was shelved in the USA. you can get a lyme disease vaccine in Europe, but Europe has a different strain of the bacteria that causes lyme disease.

Lyme disease can become very serious, it can infect the nervous system and cause neurological problems especially in young children who are often bitten on the head or the neck, undiagnosed it can cause chronic health issues that mimic other diseases. Without safe prophylactic measures beyond trying to minimize contact w ticks, this has driven people who have had lyme disease, have chronic effects from mass-disseminated lyme disease infection, or people who believe they have chronic lyme disease to go to quack doctors and undergo unsafe, unapproved medical treatment in an attempt to stop suffering.

This would not be happening on the scale that it is if antivaxxers didn’t straight up execute a supervillain plot to sabotage the lyme disease vaccine. the vaccine was licensed in december 1998, which was the year andrew wakefield published his fraudulent research on the MMR vaccine

antivaxer are terrorists and should be dealt like one

H.Bomberguy’s video on the anti-vaccine movement is absolutely worth watching in its entirety. Because it lays out just how fucking twisted and wrong the entire thing is, and how this entire movement that is KILLING CHILDREN is based on a lie for money.

[antarestyl]

wait wait wait wait WAIT!

YOU GUYS HAD A VACCINE AGAINST FUCKING LYME????

AND THOSE ASSHATS HELPED TO SHELF THAT STUFF?????????

Do you people even KNOW just how much trouble lyme disease makes every fucking year? Holy shit think of the possibilities!!!

So when I say I hate anti-vaxxers, yeah. This is why.

fat butch lesbians are actually perfect. I’m right and if you think I’m wrong then there are things you need to be sorting out. fatphobia is rampant in the entire wlw community and needs to be talked about more. especially with how prevalent it is used to further negative stereotypes of butches. fat butch lesbians are beautiful/handsome! fat butch lesbians deserve to feel welcome and accepted in wlw spaces!

“only karens ask for refunds” is pro-corporation propaganda. if they don’t give me what i want they’re giving me my money back and that doesn’t make me an angry middle-aged karen harpy, you’re just cucked by stupid reddit memes

[lgbtpolitics]

Really though, remember the woman who sued McDonald’s because their coffee was hot and everyone took the piss out of her and a bunch of other people who sued corporations for a “silly” reason and then it turned out most of them were right and entirely harmed by the company and they were just turned into a joke by the company propaganda machine?

Imo the current obsession with mocking anyone who asks for a refund, returns something or god forbid wants to talk to a manager is just the second version of this. Companies will cut corners wherever they can and mock you when you complain.

Yesterday my pizza order got to me cold and missing my soda. When I asked about both from the driver he said he couldn’t go back for the 2L because he was technically a door dash driver. I called the store and it turns out when they’re slammed (which they had been), they get door dash drivers to help with delivery to help them catch up.

So I spoke to the manager, assured her that I wasn’t angry, just kind of frustrated - part of why the pizza was cold was that door dash drivers don’t have the heat retaining delivery bags the actual delivery employees of the pizza place get, and because he wasn’t an employee of the pizza place the driver wouldn’t be going back to the pizza place and couldn’t get my soda.

And the manager said she’d get her first driver going in my direction to bring by the soda, and offered to give me a credit for the pizza being cold, and we pleasantly ended the conversation.

Because it’s okay to say “hey, this isn’t what I was told I’d be getting”, you just have to be polite and reasonable about it.

[kyraneko]

This. Vast difference between “having a problem and politely but firmly expecting that they provide what’s been paid for” and “abusing some underpaid customer-facing employee who is neither at fault for the situation or able to fix it.”

Something really cool I've noticed in the series:

A large majority of Piltover characters have surnames which have gravity/meaning/heritage/history etc and these characters are often referred to purely by their surname too.

Mel Medarda of the notorious colonial Medarda household.

Jayce Talis, of the Talis household who brought about industrial progress

Caitlyn Kiramman, who is from a very known, rich, and distinguished household.

Now look at the names in Zaun:

Silco. No surname. No inherited destiny or wealth.

Vander. Again, no surname. It's not important.

Jinx + Vi, same thing.

Ekko, Sevika, Finn, Benzo, etc

Also... Viktor. No surname. Zaun born.

Anyone in Piltover who has amounted to anything comes from a distinguished house. Their success is partially inherited and passed down.

Anyone in Zaun who has amounted to anything had to fight their way to the top and make a name for themselves. Viktor definitely included, though his circumstance is notably different from most other Zaunites.

Just a really interesting detail to incorporate to show the differences between the two sides.
