Daeron if he was sober.

Caught myself spiraling and then remembered it's just my body not wanting to exist in these temperatures

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

he jumped in a pool in the suit yesterday to celebrate the public pools opening for the summer btw

Are the sun and moon lovers or siblings?

I quite liked this response, What do you guys think?

Saying “this niche, properly tagged, warned, and rated piece of fiction could theoretically hurt someone” is not a good argument. This properly labeled cookie with the allergen information at the bottom that contains gluten could theoretically harm me very badly, but only if I consume it. Tags are like nutrition labels, and warnings are like allergy information. If you know you have an allergy to something, the logic is to stay away from it. It is the same with fiction. I’m not running through stores yelling at people to take all the products with gluten off the shelves just because it could hurt me. Instead I ignore it and go to the gluten free section and find cookies that are right for me. And if running through a grocery store yelling sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is. Stop doing the same with fiction.

this is the best way i’ve seen this put!!

And just like with food, what might be harmful for one person to consume could be quite *beneficial* for others. One man’s trigger is another man’s catharsis.

[randomslasher]

AND if you lack the maturity/self control/awareness to stop yourself from eating things that could potentially harm you, you either 1) are too young to be making your own food choices and should be supervised by a parent/other adult who is supposed to be responsible for you (and the store clerk who put the food on the shelf is NOT) or 2) need to take accountability for your own actions, because if you deliberately consumed something you knew could hurt you as a fully autonomous adult, then you really have no one to blame but yourself.

[nikoford]

I’d like to add that within AO3, “Choose Not To Use Archive Warnings” is, in this food analogy, like the food labels that read “This product was manufactured in a facility where [potential food allergens] are used in the production of some products”. It’s not telling you they’re in there, but even more importantly, it’s not telling you they’re not. This is not the same as “No Archive Warnings Apply” which would be the certified [food allergen] free food. One guarantees a certain experience, the other has given you no promises as to what may or may not be included and is very much a consume-at-your-own-risk product.

Some time ago, I dreamt that an Italian man turned into a cat had to prove he wasn’t a regular cat by cooking a pot of tomato sauce in front of baffled residents of the house. He struggled, due to cats not having opposable thumbs, and the verdict was that the sauce sucked but it was indeed weird a cat cooked anything at all

"Or your ship is just god awful and are yall rpf truthers who think Grian is cheating on his wife are weird asf

Just cause someone doesn’t like your ship doesn’t mean its rooted in misogyny Grigem is FUCKING ASS bro 😭✌🏻"

(I don't know how to link posts sorry!)

ok to clarify, as the op, i am not a grigem shipper? or a grigem anti?

i'll preface my point by saying it's unfair to say all grigem shippers are rpf truthers. its a ship about minecraft characters. like every other ship in this fandom. i'm hardly a fan (don't see it personally) but i won't say its ass, im sorry. There's many that simply enjoy the dynamic as any other shipper, and many that make gorgeous fanwork they put their hearts into. i don't think its right to call a ship that brings ppl such creative joy is ass just to tear ppl down. dislike it all u want ofc

Now, I do i think we're partially agreeing? There's a large group of truthers, notice i say truthers too not shippers, that take a man and a woman being close irl, and immediately jump to the man cheating.

the man expressing closeness towards a woman cannot possibly have platonic feelings!

Years of the patriarchy meant that women are only seen as a person in relation to a man. So when men express that level of connection to a woman, it is unfathomable that it is simply because he sees her as a fellow human. There has to be a reason for WHY he sees her like that - OH! OFC! he wants to fuck her!

reeks of misogny -_-

so yes. all this grigem discourse, of ppl blaming grian's behaviour on gem, or that grian MUST be cheating on his wife with her (cuz according to the misognystic biases we have ingrained in us by society, ofc he has no self control cuz hes a man, and men are brainless creatures who don't know what they're doing! and its a woman's "job" to not tempt them, so gem being close to him means she wants him and shes a vile seductress)

...and oh! wait! how have we gotten here again? they joked around? playing minecraft?

hm.

im not the best at wording things, but i tried to make my thoughts and feelings clearer since my original wording lead to misunderstanding.

[kouzly]

this is an interesting point of view. why do they have to be something? siblings or dating.. they’re just friends.

[hollow-toy]

mutuals can always dm me but be warned i talk like your coworker who is trying too hard to get to know you and my response times are akin to the response times you might get if we were communicating by letter

[pangur-and-grim]

fairly reliably when someone is mean and weird to you on Tumblr, you can look on their blog and all their recent posts will be about how unhappy they are in their interpersonal relationships and/or how frustrated they are that their creative venture hasn't found success. and it's like ohhhhh okay, I get it. you're clawing at other people because you're actively drowning. my sympathies, that sucks, but I'm not a lifeguard so carry on.

[writingdose]

insane to me how, to some people, this is not a common sense

[zyzscribbles]

Okay but I think these two are onto something

I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.

[sailing-ever-west-deactivated20]

One time they just stuck him in a hole in the ground for a whole episode.

[ectojester]

This is how writers should deal with characters who are too smart for the arc instead of making them suddenly dumber for no apparent reason.

If you frequently find yourself in random situations while your friends happen to be experiencing problems maybe you, too, are too smart for the narrative.

[not-deadsummer]

My favorite is that Sokka absolutely would've just navigated them out of the desert, so they had to put him on acid the entire time.
