FUCK STUPID MEN

It’s been a long time since I’ve logged on or wrote anything. Long story short, I got my heart broken again by another boy. How could people and I quote Taylor be so casually cruel in the name of being honest? I got rejected by a boy who I’ve met for a month, he said he still needed a month to see if he liked me back but I was in too much of a rush, I was pushing for the relationship he said. I was fine with it honestly, I was sad but I was dealing with it fine. He did weird things a whole week, then he got drunk and liked TWO of my instagram photos from two years ago. He apologized and begged for us to still be friends, telling me not to hate him. Then, he would decipher my actions and starts avoiding me, and lies to me about it. Then, I decided that he brings out the worst in me and maybe I, him. So, I established no contact with him. Then, his bro just kept sending me cryptic messages and so on. I hate the fact that the men always get to decide the dynamic of the relationship. They insisted on being friends, and you keep that promise but they don’t. Whenever, it seems like you’re moving on and doing okay again. They send you back to square one. It is manipulative and so cruel, so so cruel. I know I should move on but why am I always going to have to pick up all the pieces that gets shattered over and over again.

I haven't posted anything in a really long time but I just wanted to write about Mai's love for Zuko. Maiko needs a lot more love, it deserves more. I get how Zutara makes sense but Mai's love for Zuko really amazing. People say Mai doesn't care about Zuko but I think they're wrong. Mai's father is rather loyal to Ozai, Zuko is a chess piece that was discarded by Ozai. At the end of the day, Mai is a girl, a daughter, and in Asian family settings, especially in the olden days, the daughter's marriage is used to help elevate her own family's social status. Through her marriage, she secures her own future, she will be taken care off after her father's death, it can help her father form stronger alliances. Even if it's in ATLAs settings where women have more freedom, her marriage means a lot, considering her background. In no way, is Zuko a good candidate for a husband. Scratch that he shouldn't even be considered, a Prince exiled from his own nation, branded with a scar.

Yet, she chooses him repeatedly, defying Azula who is obviously the future heir to the throne, who wouldn't want to be her trusted sidekicks/friends/allies/whatever. She doesn't show it but no one can tell me she doesn't love him. Just because she doesn't show it, doesn't mean that she doesn't love him, sometimes love is just a choice. All you have to do is just choose.

I haven't watched Mulan yet and I probably won't. The posts about it that I see on Tumblr is just...

I don't even know how to describe it. If anyone tells me that it's good. I will fight you. Also, Disney made changes so that it'll be a hit in China. Let me tell you this, Disney failed miserably. China's netizens are giving it such low ratings.

Here’s a cool trick to see if a man actually respects you: try disagreeing with him

[the-rain-monster]

A friend of mine did something with online dating where, before meeting a person, she’d say no to something minor without a reason for the no. For example: “No, I don’t want to meet at a coffee shop, how about X?”, or “No, not Wednesday”, or “No, I don’t want to recognize each other by both wearing green shirts”. She said how the potential dates reacted was a huge indicator of whether she actually wanted to meet them, something I readily believe.

I’ve mentioned this to a few people and sometimes I get very annoyed and incredulous responses from guys about how are they supposed to know that it’s a test if the girl is being unreasonable? How are they supposed to know that and let her have her way? I find it difficult to explain that if you find it unreasonable for someone to have a preference of no consequence which they don’t feel the need to explain, then you are the one being unreasonable. You can decide for yourself that it sounds flaky and you don’t want to date her, but you don’t have a right to know and approve all of her reasons for things in order to deign to respect that she said no about it. Especially in the case of someone you haven’t even fucking met yet.

[the-real-seebs]

The point isn’t to know it’s a test, the point is that if you would only say “yes” if you knew it was a test, then what if it’s not a test, but because she hates coffee shops, or because she’s attending a funeral Wednesday and doesn’t know you well enough to want to share that, or whatever else? Because if you’re making rules for when other people can have preferences and not explain why… yeah, that is a thing they can reasonably want to avoid.

[teratomarty]

@ all the angry dudes in the replies: the point is not to trick or manipulate men. The point is to see how a potential romantic partner reacts to a minor inconvenience.  If they say, “oh, ok, would seven work instead?” or “well there’s this Armenian tea house I’ve been meaning to try out, want to go there?” then that’s a good sign that they’re safe to date.  If they throw a fit and/or demand to know every little detail about your rationale over something as simple as rescheduling dinner plans, that’s a bad sign. A really bad sign.

It’s like this, dudes. Women in Western society are socialised to cooperate and compromise. Some men are socialised to get all their own way, all the time.  These dudes are incredibly dangerous to women their partners,* and the only way to tell them apart from the OK guys is to pay close attention to how they react.  If you’re one of the OK ones, this isn’t about you. Learn to take “no” for an answer, and you’ll be fine.

*Updated to reflect the fact that abusive men can target any gender, and the fact that I used this screening tactic to good effect during my Big Gay Slut phase.

[lierdumoa]

The thing a lot of the men reblogging don’t get – they think this post is telling women to lie. They think this post is telling women to start a fake argument and to be manipulative.

Actually, this post is doing the opposite. This post is telling women to be straightforward, and forthright, and upfront about their values and opinions.

This post is telling women, “I know you’ve been socialized and conditioned to nod and smile at everything a man says your whole life, since you were 4 years old and your grandma told you that little girls should be seen and not heard. I know that by now it’s second nature to you, and you probably don’t even realize you’re doing it half the time. You don’t even realize that the laugh that just came out of your mouth is a laugh of appeasement, rather than a laugh of genuine humor. ”

It’s telling women, “Force yourself to resist your conditioning. Consciously make an effort to be open and honest in that initial conversation, when you’re making small talk, about small things. If he says something you don’t quite agree with (and he inevitably will, because nobody agrees on everything), don’t smile and concede the point like you’ve been trained to do. Consciously make a point of vocalizing your real opinion.”

It’s telling women “If a man doesn’t respect your real opinion about a small, insignificant issue when you first meet him, then he’s not going to respect your real boundaries later on when you’re in a serious relationship.”

Seriously, ladies, read this to men already in your lives. If they get outraged…maybe reconsider their place in your lives.

What Would Jesus Do?

[dulcebell]

ante bellum

Reyna had never said ‘I love you’ to Jason throughout the entire four years he had known the daughter of Bellona. What she did instead was take a sword meant for him to the heart and die twice in his arms until medics managed to get her stable enough for them to move her to the infirmary.

He had never been more scared than those moments, the war be damned.

At night, the scars feel like they are seared into his own skin, his fingers trace them to the edge of her breast, the white gracing her flesh like lightning. In the silence, Jason cannot help but believe that Reyna was Rome crowned in eternal glory.

Despite the guilt he had felt, the love in her eyes was unmistakable as she looks at him sleepily, her heart whispering softly to him that she would do it all over for him, that she would die for him. The thought alone is frightening, and Jason never knew that love could be so overwhelming.

‘Te amo, mi reina.’ His lips pressed against where her heart would be, feeling the shudder that went through her. Then Reyna was atop of him, burning with life and warmth. Their lips pressed against each other, the blood roaring in their veins.

Jason finally understood why the gods were afraid of her.

[mercutiosnake]

She asked Beck for a kiss in the pilot episode because the only thing she knew about Jade, who was an absolute bitch for no reason at that point, was that she was overly jealous about her BF. Was it a great moment for her as a person? No. But Beck was the one who had the choice to screw over someone he allegedly cared about and chose to do so. He could have just as easily said "Little weird, let's not" and moved on. Tori owed Jade nothing AT THAT POINT. And more importantly, had Jade not been a raging bitch to her right out the gate, she wouldn't have done it. Also, y'all would hate Jade if she dumped coffee all over you in front of class for absolutely no reason. You're acting like you and Jade would be besties when she'd hate you too.

Cat's BF, yeah, she totally screwed up. She knew it. She immediately felt bad and focused on apologizing to Cat and making things right. Which she did. It was resolved. She even mentions it later as one of the worst things she's ever done. So she acknowledges screwing up. Character makes mistake, learns from it, moves on. These are basic elements of storytelling and the fact that people are so unwilling to forgive every transgression is just...concerning. The fact that overly jealous and possessive behavior like Jade's is lauded as love and not horribly abusive is terrible.

She hardly "forced" Jade to give her her dress. My god, you're really reaching now. The fact that she and Andre are something of a music duo makes them the likely candidates to have a song ready to whip out. I mean, Jade and Andre don't work together hardly at all up until Jade Gets Crushed. So...it makes 100% that Tori-- who had the idea-- would also be best prepared to have a little setlist prepared with Andre since they perform together with some regularity.

Likewise someone else was complaining about her taking the credit for all of Andre's songs-- like he doesn't actively request that she sing with him most of the time? Yeah, she does steal his song once, but again, that is the point of the episode-- it's very clearly meant to be a subconscious thing too. Like, it's supposed to be part of that episode's CONFLICT and then it's resolved. And every other time? Tori isn't going around bragging about herself ever. She asks Andre to help her write a song and you turn it into 'she demands it and just uses him for music'...like what? Really leaning on the 'alternative facts' here now, aren't we? Furthermore, let's just remember that a huge amount of pop music is written by people other than the ones performing and y'all aren't out here refusing to listen to it without the actual writers getting the appropriate level of praise. Ariana Grande does not write all her own songs. That is a completely normal part of the industry. And especially makes sense in the early episodes when Tori is new to the whole scene.

Like the entire point of Tori's character and the whole show is that she is the basic one, the "normal" one, learning to adapt to all these zany shenanigans at HA and making mistakes and trying to fix them. It's literally the point of the whole show.

Was she a bitch to steal the venue for her Prome? Yes. That was low. I maintain that had Jade not stormed in and DEMANDED Tori change it, Tori would've been more willing to talk. She let's Jade get away with most shit, but once in awhile she decided to fight back and here, she chose to do that. She shouldn't have, but she did. I understand Jade's anger. But also, CLEARLY, most of the student body was totally on board with the Prome once it was happening. So to act like no one else wanted it is also just not true. Still a low blow on Tori's end, 100%. Because she's not a perfect goody goody.

I get it when people think she's boring (I don't think she is, but I get it) because she is definitely not as extreme a character type as Jade or Cat, but to just take every little fault and mistake and turn create these malicious ulterior motives...? Like if Jade was the main character, she wouldn't be the Jade you love. She would be wayyy toned down. Jade West is written as a secondary character and that allows her to be all the things we love about her. Things that the lead character can't be-- at least not in this genre of shows.

You can't come out here and be like 'she's such a bitch' and then be totally OK with Jade-- who steals Robbie's blood, who slaps Cat repeatedly, who shaves her supposed friend's entire head because her eyebrows are accidentally waxed off, who literally thinks she has a right to prohibit who her boyfriend can interact with. Like, honestly, every character does asshole things sometimes (in fact, there are things Tori did that irritate me far more than the stupid 'kisses friend's boyfriends' deal-- like when Cat is really upset that the actress died and Tori is just like 'I'm sorry...that I don't know who that is!'... like that's terrible. Wtf, Tori? Someone died and she's sad and whether or not you know the person is irrelevant). But also, like, even Cat who is probably the nicest individual in the group, is heavily implied to get people killed when she is accepting calls from the OnStar parody company (or whatever it was called). Like they are honestly all assholes a lot. Because it's a Dan Schneider show and everything is meant to just be for laughs and not thought about beyond that.

And I get it if you just didn't think Tori was as talented and wanted to see the others perform more. That's fair. But it was her show, so it was going to be her. It really doesn't matter whose voice you like best and it really has nothing to do with the actual character.

Dislike Tori all you want, but you shouldn't need to just blatantly lie about things her character does/says to do it. You don't actually need a reason not to like a character, you know. So you don't need to make up lies to justify it. You can just not like her and move on with your day.

And for those of you who are projecting hate onto the characters based on your perceptions of the actors, just...grow up. Actors and characters are entirely different entities and you don't know the actors at all. You aren't their friends. You have no idea how they behave when the cameras aren't on them. They could all be raging diva monsters or they could all be super chill. Who knows. It's entirely irrelevant to the characters they play. It's becoming increasingly aggravating across all fandoms how hard it seems to be for people to separate the actors from the characters.
