being a day one Ronnie fighter is really hard because she's actually really annoying AND a capitalist but the fact of the matter is she's my weirdo. My have you ever seen me without these pearls that's weird girl. Everybody goes i loooove weirdo jughead. well what about weirdo Ronnie what about feminism what about HER annoying ass. she couldn't hang out with jughead for seasons because if you left them in a room together they would've done that thing clones do in movies where they lift their arm up at the same time like they're looking in a mirror before they realize that's a whole other person. Then she would've beaten him to death with hammers, which would really upset ArchieAndBetty even if they were really understanding about it. sorry i think this post got away from me
Sansa Stark (A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones) vs. Veronica Lodge (Riverdale)

Propaganda below the cut:
Sansa Stark:
Perpetually a victim of the plot, denied agency, hated for being whiny, PLUS the whole deal where they changed the plot of the book so they could show her being raped in the show…
Sansa is an incredible character for the exact reasons I hated her ass when I was 14. She's often passive, conforms to expectations, and lashes out at her younger sister for being the opposite. Her arc finds her struggling to navigate a dangerous, violent world that hates women using only the tools she was taught as a girl would keep her safe and make her successful (her passivity, her virginity, her femininity, etc.).
Bashed as the worst and most useless character of the whole series for not immediately killing all the Lannisters ig despite literally watching her father’s head get cut off at thirteen years old. Also catches flak for thinking mean things about the fandom’s chosen son Jon Snow and her sister Arya Stark, but like. This is a middle schooler.
The WHOLE POINT of her character is to illustrate how the game of thrones corrupts innocence, ERGO the character HAS to start from an innocent place. Obviously she’s naive at the start of the series, why would any child raised in a loving household far away from court politics develop any political acumen? But despite this, she does learn quickly, and her character development is among the most exciting in the show (and I’m sure it will eventually be in the series as well)
I could write a dissertation on this one but if you say Sansa is worse that Joffrey you’re a misogynist. In my opinion people hate her because her abuse arc is painfully grounded in reality.
The very first man to use her as a pawn was her father and yet the fandom blames her for this. Sansa’s arc was supposed to be a mirror of her sister’s to show that if they comply (Sansa) if they rebel (Arya) no girls win in a patriarchal society but so many people would rather hate a fictional little girl because she didn’t girl boss her way out of oppression.
Veronica Lodge:
fandom victim blames her for being an abuse victim of her father, ignores her importance to her canon familial & romantic relationships in favor of shipping/focusing on her dad & boyfriend, gives her canon dynamic with her dad to her boyfriend instead, by and large ignores her despite the fact that she's one of the main 4/5 characters (also racism given she's latina & the guys she's ignored for are white) and there's the standard "teenage girl therefore she's annoying, stuck up, etc etc" logic
she's AWESOME. she used to be mean but she devotes all her time to becoming a better person, she's loyal and willing to sacrifice herself for the people she loves, she's a self proclaimed girlboss who runs multiple successful businesses as a high schooler. she's the most bisexual poly-forward person on the bisexual polycule show. she's a theatre kid who will take literally any opportunity to sing show tunes, she's ultra dramatic, she loves the world and singing and her best friend (in a not especially platonic way admittedly) and she's so kind and tries so hard to do good things even though she's an abused teenager who everyone blames for her manipulative & abusive dad's actions. she's my baby and i love her and she deserves to be treated better!
wish everyone could perceive the Vague Concepts in my head because i just know you would looove my Vague Concepts. you would think im so smart if you saw the misty clouds of Vague Concepts floating around in my head. #MyVagueConcepts
i literally love saying "ON IT BOSS!!!!!" whenever someone asks me to do something like i'm some sort of henchman. it doesn't matter if they're my boss or not for real even because in the moment they are, and whatever they requested of me i'm on it
"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist
blorbofication to me is when you love a character in such a laser focus way that you somewhat detach them from the narrative from which they are inserted and treat them in a way roughly similar to how you'd treat an oc for which you still have no story and just like to put them in situations just for fun. which there's nothing wrong with btw, it's just that it can easily lead to people forgetting the character engine in a narrative and not just a barbie doll
thank god anything at all useful is being torn down and made illegal so that the computer can just be a box you turn on to watch ads for fake phone games
im so sick of unnecessary dinner scenes in movies 😡 every fucking movie they just want to titillate you with some food because they think you’re a dumb animal who just wants to see mashed potatoes bouncing. if its an IMPORTANT dinner scene where they explain lore then whatever i understand. but they shove useless meals into every movie these days and its disgusting
