The way that there are still people (not on here, on Twitter tho) wishing that Anna Maxwell Martin (a white woman) still played Beelzebub in season 2 – despite genuinely not being available – over Shelley Conn (a brown woman) and even saying stuff like “especially because ineffable bureaucracy became canon” feels veeeeeery weird (read: racist) to me 🫤

this post is. going to get me told that i’m a kendall apologist. but i am so like. ok

i think kendall and connor are both entitled to eldest siblinghood. and i also think it’s a huge overstatement to assert that kendall just isn’t the eldest boy and has deluded himself into thinking that he is. they’re just two eldest boys with two different eldest boy experiences?

connor obviously is just. simply logan roy’s first child. there’s not much to argue with there. he also had to deal with logan all alone for a while and seems to have SOME FORM of the eldest child experience of watching those that come after yourself having it easier. but in terms of “eldest sibling” status i waver? that depicts. in MY mind. a relationship between the four that doesn’t exist. connor is both related to the other three and older than them, but his emotional role appears to be more paternal. he’s also a good deal older than them and doesn’t appear to have the more “childish” connections that they have with each other, which are kind of hallmarks of people who came of age together. i mean roman even uses childhood memories of connor as “dad” stories. also we never really see the kind of “heirlike” relationship between logan and connor that makes logan so hard on kendall (though i of course acknowledge that this is because logan’s abuse of connor comes largely in the form of neglect and disinterest)

and kendall by contrast is not his father’s first child, but he is his father’s first child of his second marriage. he apparently spent an amount of his childhood protecting his siblings from their father and, in being the “heir” to waystar, bears the brunt of his father’s high expectations. his love for roman and shiv is less fatherly than connor’s but also more intimate. also it’s not clear to me that connor and kendall have any powerful older-younger dynamic; frankly they seem to stay out of each other’s emotional “jurisdictions” and have, like, mutual respect? you just don’t see much evidence that connor really paved the way for kendall, or that kendall is really relying on connor for guidance or comfort or anything like that. connor made up some of the roy family’s firsts and kendall made up others.

it’s not that i think either connor or kendall is more eldest boy than the other, it’s that i think “THE” eldest boy is a silly title to be handing out when the roy’s family structure just evidently doesn’t support the existence of that kind of role. they are both eldest boys.

oh and obviously kendall trying to claim eldest boy status in order to wrest control of waystar is fucking stupid. but it’s also no more fucking stupid than treating primogeniture as a valid hiring method for a legacy media company’s chief executive role, which i think is the more important point of the two.

inside you, young transmasculine person, is a voice that will tell you not to like certain things because they're For Girls. that is the voice of the devil, and you must never listen to it.

I genuinely hope American media sucks for a while! I hope the big companies keep trying to churn out shit and that it’s all embarrassing garbage! I want it to be extremely apparent to everyone how important the writers and actors are to create good media and that they deserve to be compensated appropriately!!!

Which of these would you rather see on your dash?

Hey @staff. This is a perfect example of why collapsed reblogs is such a bad idea. Seeing the full thread, you go like this: 😮 ooh, that's cool 😀 "they're free," hehe! 🤣 "16 cents," perfection!!

I have achieved joy, I feel positive feelings toward Tumblr, I want to engage, I want to stay, my eyeballs land on more ads, you make more money, everyone wins! 🎉

Seeing the collapsed thread, you go like this:

😮 ooh, that's cool 😐 "16 cents"? yes, that's literally what the pic shows, not sure why you felt the need to say that

There is no motivation for me to uncollapse the reblog chain—it looks like a boring conversation about the denominations of coins. And even if I do uncollapse it, you've ruined the joke by showing me the punchline before the setup. I am sad, Tumblr is boring, I go elsewhere to entertain myself, I see less ads, you make less money, everyone loses. 😥

Reblog chains are the best thing about Tumblr. They are your unique super power. They are the thing that makes people screenshot Tumblr and share it around. Why on earth would you kneecap them??

I don't know exactly how you plan to implement this. Give people the option to keep them collapsed if there truly are people who are annoyed by how long they can get (you already have a version of this feature), but don't collapse them for everyone or new users by default. Please. It will make Tumblr so much more boring.

we need to make peace with the fact that "i am a girl and retroactively i always was even when i didn't personally think so" and "i am a girl but i used to be a boy" are both equally valid ways to be transfem and both are punk af bc they equally reject societal norms of what a person's gender experience should be

Strike is on. Actors will be joining the writers on the picket lines. This is the first strike in 60 years for SAG, and essentially shuts down the entire US film and television industry.
