Still can't believe Samira's cancelled research funding was just a throwaway line, mainly there to present her as a weak fellowship candidate, and not a major anchor of her story in a season when shit is going wrong for her for reasons totally outside her control.
literally you'd make a post pointing out that robby was heinous to samira and suddenly someone would be writing a thinkpiece about how samira fans actually do her character a disservice by acting like she has zero flaws whatsoever and ppl in the tags would be like "#omg exactlyyyy why do some fans keep pretending she isn't a hateful bitch who's terrible at her job 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 #REAL lovers of complex women would be able to recognize that she's not the perfect doctor because she's mean and insensitive and lacking in compassion" to air out their belief in the angry brown woman stereotype while acting like it's a higher level of media comprehension like ohhh brother this guy STINKS!
this is so wild
Narration, in a serious, dramatic voice: We find no evidence paranormal activity inside this mine, but we do find an absolutely adorable kitty kitty.
Person on screen, using a baby voice: Hi little kitty kitty! Hi little kitty kitty! Ohh, you’re just a little kitty kitty!
Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.
Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"
we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap
the memeification of fascism is a proven method of perpetuating and instilling it in other people. Layers of irony will not protect you once you adopt racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic terminology into your lexicon. you'll be acknowledging and nursing the mindsets and connotations borne of those words.
racism literally bleeds through the cracks of everything and if you dare to even barely point it out everyone will kill you
racism runs so deeply in people that if you call it out you are calling out them, and instead of sitting down and examining their own racism they lash out at you for being sooo meansies to them. you don't even have to be talking about anyone's racist behavior in particular because it makes racists so uncomfortable they will come forward themselves and act like you're targeting them specifically. it's okay when they do it because they're doing it in the correct way, in the nice way! they don't mean it like that. in fact they're actually being progressive. you're the cruel one for acting like their racist behavior is racist. you're the problem if you're bothered by their comfort racism. you're the bitchy colored person who makes eeeverything about racism when it so clearly isn't. i'm fucking sick of this.
This is getting very tedious
Pitt femslashers, y'all are gonna do you, but can you PLEASE stop and look at why so many of y'all tend to write the white lady and the light-skinned/white passing lady as overly infantilized with visibly brown or Black girlfriends who seem to exist to take care of them?
Why are we putting Mel with Parker to have Parker basically exist to be her emotional support human? Am I seriously the only one getting "m@mmy" vibes from some of the fic coming out?
Parker doesn't exist to fix the other women in the Pitt! She's not here to fix Mel, Trinity, Cassie, or even Samira. She's her own person with her own needs and wants, and she deserves the same amount of complexity and care as the "blorbos" get.
Also, why do we keep putting Trinity in with the visibly brown women and either have them be horrible to her or reduce them down to an emotional support girlfriend here to meet every single one of Trinity's needs?
Trinity isn't helpless! All of the women in the Pitt have strengths and weaknesses, and Trinity's not a special uber whumpy woobie blorbo. Reducing her to this is a disservice to her character, and reducing whichever brown/Black woman you put her with to a monster or "emotional caretaker" is also a disservice to them!
I am going to make rant art about something I noticed and I need you all to engage with it in good faith or so fucking help me.
I can’t be… the only one that notices this right.
Image repost because I was just now informed that the image had no background.
Did not realize that the background saved transparent. My bad for those who couldn’t see it.
hi this drives me crazy
canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana
a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.
an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.
fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.
these are all different words with different meanings.
Also, for an interpretation to be valid it needs to be based on the text. It cannot just be a vibe. One can disagree on readings of the text, but if someone comes with quotes and/or historical context and you just have vibes, then sorry, your interpretation is inferior and may in fact just be a headcanon.
have u guys noticed the phenomenon that's like
- m/f ship between a nonblack man & a Black woman
- it's either canon (e.g. mel/jayce arcane, arthur/guinevere bbcmerlin) or entirely plausible (e.g. prism or coupé/robert dispatch)
- fanbase overwhelmingly pairs nb man off with another nb man and disengages from the Black woman character, shunting her into a background wise & sassy caretaker role (for which there is a name) or leaving her out of fanworks entirely
- fans who do this ^ claim it is an expression of love and admiration for the Black woman character, actually, bc the nb man (who may be her canonical partner) "can't handle all that" (he may be perfectly competent and engaged; she may be totally low maintenance; it has no bearing), she's just too wonderful (too much) and out of his league (lacking in flaws and interiority and fan appeal)
have we all observed this and can we see the multiple dimensions in which it is racist ☝️ i'm not bringing it up to make any beautiful fujos feel bad abt shipping this or that, just to ask for some consideration of what ppl are saying abt Black women when they make their excuses to each other. like you can just not make the excuses. yk?
Don’t forget to check out last month’s post and the introduction! I may later eat my words because I haven’t seen more than season 1 of ToS
outsiders and boring normal people and fandom newbies always think that buckwild kinky porn fanfiction is the strangest fandom hobby but they are wrong.
the strangest fandom hobby is plotty fanfiction, the kind that requires research, because engaging in this hobby makes no goddamned sense.
it doesn’t even give anybody masturbation material, which is at least a logical and admirable goal that contributes to the betterment of society, or at least society’s solitary orgasms.
in other news i hope the cia spyware monitoring my internet usage understands that i’m googling information about smuggling drugs in thailand because i want the details to be right in a single paragraph in a 10,000 word story about a gay mafia guys.
this post has been making the rounds again and i just want to state for the record that it is a fucking delight to read in the tags all the random things people research for their fanfic and art. fandom, i love you. i love you with your flood maps and medical procedures and tentacle biology and historical fashion and traditional handcrafts and conlangs and urban geography and literally everything else. i am completely sincere about this. the enthusiasm with which people embrace detailed, deep, and often obscure research, just because they want to get it right, because they want to create something rich and interesting, it makes me feel better about the world. i adore it.
recently when im tempted to say 'i'm gonna kill myself' i try to correct it into saying "im gonna walk into the river and become a trout" or some other form of that. this is my new thing
btw this has graduated into me just saying "the trout population will be affected" and then not elaborating
this post has genuinely helped me so i used it as inspiration for today’s hand lettering practice
would actually love to not be bothered by things however nazely being used to uplift whitaker and make him look wise and smart when both of these interns have been there for four days is still so fascinating to me. you're telling me this girl couldn't figure out a magnet and so then they just decide to add another scoop onto whitaker having an unrealistic amount of independence, workload and trust from his superiors schtick. and make her look stupid for that specific sake. like i could actually turn into smoke it was so uneccesary
no but the fact that the pitt introduced two new characters in the final episodes(crus, nazely) to contradict existing characters(samira, whitaker) and in both scenarios the women are made to look more stupid or incompetent or unprepared than their male peers. what are we doing
idk i just think in general that it was stupid to give samira this partnership track position job in jersey and then immediately get rid of that and then also kill off every other option she could possible have for a fellowship or elective or any position by either making her too late or unqualified or have it be something she isn't remotely interested in. like you couldn't have given her any specific goals or wants or interests or spots that she would want to apply to? you're telling me that it's all over and gone and a lost cause and she will settle for geriatrics even though she doesn't even really wanna do that? and then also barely give her any support or reassurance whatsoever? yeah sure!
i will be so fucking honest and say that labeling trinity santos as a mean lesbian is stereotypical and i feel like it ignores the reasons why she acts the way she does which is largely trauma and mental health related. she can hurt people's feelings and i won't deny that her mental health has caused her to lash out in ways that can be seen as hurtful, but you folks are very comfortable putting people in boxes without examining why people(especially women who don't have soft personalities or god forbid have complex mental health or trauma) act the way they do. and like another post said, she's literally not even that fucking mean. barely at all even, imo.
