You are not responsible for saving someone else. You are not responsible for bettering someone who’s hurt you. You are not responsible for a toxic ex-friend. You are not responsible for what they choose to do. You are not a bad person for cutting them off or refusing to have them in your life, even if they have bettered themselves. Prioritize yourself, not a harmful person.

we really cannot let Vivziepop walk away from the fact that this below is straight up a scene from hazbin hotel:

Lute is about to kill Vaggi (lesbian named after the word 'vagina') when she is stopped by her boss Abel (who got the job of commander over Lute because he's the former bosses son) who calls her a bitch and she willingly stands down because that reminded her of her dead boss Adam who she was in love with despite being treated by garbage by him.

Like...there is just so much sexism here in a way that isn't a commentary but deeply embedded in the writing itself. I am willing to accept Abel getting the promotion as a critique of Heaven and Vaggi's name being a bad taste joke but the rest?!

CW: long rant from a former POC fan of the show

I don't even think Goose understands the song herself, considering that she left out that the song is specifically about a BLACK baby girl. Black women are masculinized, adultified, and overall mistreated by society. Stevie Wonder asserted his newborn daughter's place in the world before society could. She's lovely, she's wonderful, and she's beautiful. He wanted Aisha to grow up knowing that before racism could make her, or anybody else, think otherwise.

Goose chose that song because white people are willfully incapable of understanding the nuances of intersectionality. I've seen hordes of white queers get upset that southern, straight couples on TikTok were using the giver by Chapell Roan--a song about a service top lesbian who gives head better than a dude. How interesting that they suddenly can't understand why a white person divorcing the blackness from a black song is ignorant.

You can almost feel the delight white queers have at black fans' expense in the comments of the post you linked.

I love seeing people getting angry and like "B-but its about a birth of a girl!" CAUSE YEAH. IT IS ABOUT A BIRTH OF A GIRL. 😭😭

It's to reference Jax being a trans woman you stupid idiot. That she's coming out as a trans woman

oh you're one of the idiots that bought into the racism claims 🙄

You probably explained it the best of any of the posts I've seen.

What especially irritates me is that Goose/Glitch could have made their own song. Or comissioned their own song. Or not done a montage. In a world where people of colour frequently have their culture(s) taken away from them, we have one of the most adored indie creators feeding into that, releasing her finale on Juneteenth, too. And I think Gooseworx knows that it's bad and just doesn't care.

Also the "it's a birth of a girl still cause Jax is trans!" thing is ridiculous. Jax is an adult who has harmed others more than any baby could.

Tsaritsa design reveal was underwhelming…..

it’s like EVERY OTHER GENSH!T DESIGN (paper white skin to the point where you can’t see the eye color, low cropped top, detached sleeves, short skirt, thigh highs, SOMEONE FIRE THE DESIGNERS PLEASE.)

To cope I made a Tsaritsa redesign of my own !

It’s not that good but I hope you see the vision (Tsaritsa get behind me omfg.)

I took the elements I liked from her OG design and then based her new outfit off these Slavic/Russian royal and winter wear pictures!

That’s all for now <3

DEAR GOD.

IT’S ALL

something to be said about how when we see Bear and Nikki have sex in Obsession (2026), it's as dispassionate and lifeless as it is. setting aside the obvious consent implications of fucking a wish-hijacked Nikki, you'd think that the wish-hijacked Nikki would be, well "freaky" in bed -- more reactive, more emotive, hungrier for him, more all over him -- but she's literally just laying there, arms literally at her sides. my best reading is that, since her entire existence is now about Bear, it's just about what Bear wants out of sex, and Bear frankly has very little sexual imagination or consideration for Nikki's possible wants as a sexual being (or wants in general, given, well, the premise of the movie). he wants to have sex with Nikki, but doesn't really want to have sex with Nikki, if that makes sense. what he and Nikki are doing sure is definiable as sexual intercourse but that's basically all that can be said about it. in this way, the wish-hijacked Nikki's blandness in bed reminds me of an observed behavior in predator animals, where despite their immense strength and power, they are actually quite loathe to expend a single ounce of their energy reserves more than necessary on prey, resulting in observably "lazy" behavior

[ezralovrr]

I’d like to add that the music during that scene sounds grotesque. Listening to it out of context (especially when considering the track’s title, “Date Night), you hear metallic screeching that sounds like a substitute for someone screaming.

You’d think a character is being mauled alive after the date, and that’s exactly what’s happening to Nikki. She’s being mauled physically AND sexually by a Bear.

[artemisv1bes]

I’m really not with the whole “obsession au!!” Fandoms have been romanticizing with specific characters I’ve seen it with so many different fandoms and it genuinely makes me sick I’m sorry

[maybelifedoesntsuck]

I saw the teaser trailer of Helluva Boss s3 (almost against my will) and you know what pisses me the fuck off?

Stolas's fantasy daydream is Blitz riding in on a horse and sweeping him off his feet.

And you wanna know WHY that pisses me off so much?

Cause for at least half of s2, this is exactly what Blitz believed about Stolas in the first place

(I hate in which the speed I was able to pinpoint this scene)

AND literally throughout ALL OF S2, Stolas swore UP AND DOWN that he had REAL feelings for Blitz. He was OFFENDED that Blitz thought it was just about sex.

(I was gonna grab a clip but I physically cannot watch this without recoiling in disgust so I can't lmfao)

In Stolas's fantasy, he's still a regal prince and Blitz is a COWBOY and you wanna know how Blitz refers to him in Stolas's FANTASY????

"Your highness"

In Stolas's DAYDREAM FANTASY, Blitz is STILL beneath him.

We spent idk how many HOURS of screentime on Stolas crying and lamenting how Blitz only thinks it's about sex and how DARE he think that and "I DONT LOOK DOWN ON YOU" and whatever the fuck, and the VERY FIRST LOOK at s3 is about Stolas fantasizing about Blitz the RUGGED COWBOY SWEEPING HIM OFF HIS FEET.

I am so sick and TIRED of this fuck ass show trying to convince us that Blitz and Stolas are in love. They're NOT.

I want someone to tell me a single reason why they actually like each other. You can't, cause there isn't one. It's the forbidden love trope without the LOVE part. Blitz "saved" Stolas from Stella and then what?

I'm gonna be fr idk if I'm gonna watch s3 for the sole reason that I literally cannot stomach it anymore. This show is mindnumbingly infuriating and I can't watch a single clip without wanting to bash my head in. I finished s2 out of mere obligation and even then I couldn't even watch half of the final episode cause it was so ridiculously stupid.

I will always be a Stolas hater tho 🫶🏽

[gameguy20100]

I'd probably give Gooseworx more praise for the "Jax is trans" thing if it wasn't for two things.

1) It's never actually said on screen.

Jax says he told his mother "something deep and personal." That could have been anything. He could be saying he's trans. He could be saying he's gay. He could be saying that he thinks it was her fault his dad left. It's so vague as to not mean anything.

2) It changes nothing about Jax as a character.

I can literally sum up my opinion with this interaction.

Me: Wow. Jax is such an insufferable abusive cunt. I hate him.

Gooseworx: Jax is trans mtf.

Me: Ok, sorry my mistake. Jax is such an insufferable abusive cunt. I hate her.

Gender identity isn't a shield that makes you suddenly not a toxic, misogynistic, abusive arsehole who takes up too much screentime.

It's like... great Jax has gender issues. Can we talk about that after we address the fact they gaslighted and manipulated Ribbit into suicide! No. I'm not over that. I don't think I ever will be

[nina-hideaway]

For the record I just wanna state that I DESPISE Stolas’s expressions so much

[litwicking-it]

hey so did anyone see this

hey so this shirt is for the characters at the playground. why is a POC surrounded by plushies with POLICE BATONS. what does that have to do with the shirt. why do all these microaggressions keep adding up back to back to back to back. why

[onemore2morrow]

The last thing I’ll say on this is the confirmation that abstraction = suicide means that Ragatha watched Jax engage in a predatory cycle of getting close to people and then driving them to suicide, rightly assumed Jax was trying to do the same to Pomni (because Ragatha had no context for ANYTHING because Jax WOULDN’T TALK TO HER),

And when she called Jax out on it and said “I know what you’re trying to do!” both Jax and THE SHOW tried to gaslight us into thinking RAGATHA is the crazy, overbearing one

And you still have fans claiming RAGATHA is the problem

[fish-arent-real]

Actually no, I take it back. I am making one more post about TADC because I saw this and I am enraged. The comments on the YouTube video for "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder.... you know, a black song written by a black man about his daughter... are FLOODED with comments about the show. This is actually despicable behavior. Do better.

And this is a fraction of the comments.

[fish-arent-real]

THIS is what is being fully and completely buried. These are the voices you're speaking over for your fandom. I hope its worth it.

[fish-arent-real]

I've already blocked this individual because I am really not interested in seeing people defend this. Still going to use this to make a general statement:

The usage of this song in this context was entirely inappropriate in the first place.

It should have never been used, ESPECIALLY considering the history of the cast/fandom when it comes racism. This is a song that has a hell of a lot of cultural significance to a marginalized group. Gooseworx, a white creator, took the voice of a black man talking about his black experience and she reshaped it to fit HER story. It was a deeply disrespectful use of the song from the start.

Now the song is entirely being associated with TADC with absolutely no acknowledgement of its original meaning. To the point the comments are now 98% the show. That's a problem. Black voices being silenced yet again for the white fandoms enjoyment. I love for black songs to be used in media but I would also love for them to be used in a way that doesnt completely erase their blackness. Not everything needs to be for white people.

Yes, this happens every single time a song is used in popular media. Doesn't make it not racist. Context matters here.

[tadc-crit]

Sorry for the amount of asks but Jesus Christ this fandom is deadass dumb asf

Did you see that one Twitter post saying “There are other things more important than Juneteenth, like the TADC finale!” Genuinely what the FUCK

NO I DIDN'T???? WHAT???

[baydoors9000]

This got cut from the show and was replaced with... what, exactly? If Ragatha can't be violently tortured, then she gets nothing instead
