Love it when a post finds its intended audience

crocodiletrolley

can’t stop thinking about how if Hollanov and Merthur switched universes neither show would have a plot. Uther would be dead INSTANTLY. Shane just would not have put up with that shit

Gaius: yeah the Purge was really fucked up, Uther killed a bunch of people for no reason, including kids

Shane, not even finished unpacking yet: cool! Quick question, where's the throne room? And how do I use my magic to melt the flesh off someone's bones?

Leon: hey Sire are you SURE you want to legalize magic and marry a sorcerer?

Ilya, staring at Shane's freckles: next person who argues with me is getting executed

Leon: but, Sire, he murdered your father

Ilya: I know, was so hot

The rest of the show would just be Shane roping Ilya and the knights and Morgana and Gwen (and Mordred, somehow) into forming a hockey league

Meanwhile Merlin and Arthur would be so pumped to be in a world where being gay is legal they'd immediately get publically married

What's the NHL gonna do? Fire them? People have tried to fire them before. It Does Not Work

We could never tell if you were my brother or my father, but to me you were both. The best brother and father I've ever had. Thanks for being my family.

admittedly i know little of the subject but one would think, at 45 years of age, he would be a ryan goose by now

Yes, the fics where Ilya goes to Shane's game in his jersey are cute and romantic. But why has no one even considered:

he was bracing himself for bad news

Guess who cried at the technician at my opticians who has known me over a decade when she asked how my mum was doing after my uncle's death

If you guessed me you get 0 prizes 🥳

So I'm gonna be referring to this a lot. I'll make a longer post at some point as it was a messy drawn out situation that I think I've been containing my emotions over for probable years and definitely since the start of the year. Rest assured though that I have friends I've been leaning on as well as my dad, step mum and sisters but talking to my mum/her side of the family is harder because they're in just as much pain as me.

Very dark humour is also apparently a coping mechanism I'm employing at the moment.

(Today's opticians incident was a surprise but they've known me and my mum at least twenty years and I've really struggled with the first time seeing people since 🤷🏽‍♀️)

I like how I now only cry about my uncle when I'm on my own (because I now feel myself start to slip when talking to others so can abort oop) but I also feel guilty about how the times I told people about him for the first time it was new colleagues after I'd accidentally made a joke about the whole situation and how actively fucked up I was from it for my whole first year in this job oops

Going to a McFly Vs Busted concert with the bestie I used to fake beef with on here has been such a nostalgia trip. No idea if any of my mutuals are even still here but if you are hi

I am going to say something that might piss people on this site off, and that is that the stabbing at a Taylor Swift themed event in Southport does not exist in a vacuum.

It exists in a world where a joke about bringing a nail gun to the Eras tour to shoot fans gets 400k likes on TikTok, or where a reel about crashing a plane full of Swifties gets 200k likes on Instagram. It exists in a world where, on this very website, the one that promotes itself as rational and reasonable, someone says that "Taylor Swift and her fans should all die violent horrible deaths" and people applauded it. It exists in a world where, during TTPD release week men were in Swifties' comment sections declaring they would beat their daughters and girlfriends if they ever so much as listened to one of her albums. And it exists in a world where this week, fans of a TV show (which I will not name because that is not the point) sent death threats to a girl on Twitter for daring to be a fan of both their beloved show and Taylor Swift.

I don't give a fuck what your opinion of Taylor Swift is. I don't care if you think her music is grating, I don't care if you think she is the worst thing to happen to humanity since Eve ate the god damn apple. This is the dark side of stan culture that no-one talks about; where dislike of an artist becomes so obsessive that it becomes normal, even funny, to joke about killing their fans, because "it's just online, it's just a joke". It isn't. It is rarely ever "just online".

And yes I am going to be That Person and say that you can complain about Swift's brand of feminism and debate her position as a feminist icon all day long, at the end of the day, her name is still synonymous with girls. It doesn't take a genius to work out who this event was geared at.

I am not going to sit and claim that by simply not liking Taylor Swift you directly caused this. I would encourage you to step back, look at the bigger picture of stan culture, including obsessive dislike of an artist, and ask yourself how much this culture has enabled this. If making jokes on tiktok about killing someone over a pop star is normalised, how much of a leap is it to attacking kids with a knife at a fan event?

and of course there is the fact that the british media didn't even wait until those kids were buried before using this event to spread their racist, anti-immigrant agenda despite the race of the attacker not being known. all I can say to that is I am sickened and disappointed but not shocked.
