Me back on my bullshit @sans-removyr - Tumblr Blog

Transcript:

I’m about to expose the men. Whenever you ask a man’s height, he’ll add an inch. So if he’s 6 foot, he’ll say he’s 6’1 and if he’s 6’2, he’ll say he’s 6’3.

Not me though. I subtract 4. I say I’m 5’9. Especially when there’s other men in the room. And then I just watch them panic. Not only have you exposed his lie, but now he thinks he’s 5’3.

What I do is not a crime, but it should be.

my dad just exploded into laughter out of nowhere and told me ‘imagine the lion king but with sea lions’ he has been chuckling about it for 5 straight minutes now

apparently it doesn’t matter that i’ve told him 10 times it’s the monkey who raises the newborn and not the lion himself, this is the scene he has been imagining

“he can’t raise his kid over his head”

You really should add your pronouns in your bio

i get this ask a lot and like. it’s a lil frustrating bc the whole reason ppl starting pushing everyone to put pronouns in their bio was so trans ppl weren’t outed or othered for having their pronouns listed.

but now it’s used as a dog whistle to lyk who’s “woke” and who isn’t (even tho plenty of the ppl w their pronouns in their bio are still bigoted in many ways). so now everyone is assumed to be cis and pressured into putting their pronouns in every social media they have, thus once again othering trans ppl and forcing them to out themselves

im not cis. im not entirely sure which pronouns i prefer or will use. ppl going “you should list your pronouns” either outs me or forces me to pick pronouns that may feel misgendering just to appease a largely cis crowd.

she/he/they are fine. i also have no desire to list that for thousands of ppl to see. i am referred to as she/her irl by p much everyone. sometimes it sucks, but it also kinda sucks getting used to using he/they only to know i am not in a position to use that irl at this moment.

just came across a tiktok where someone was like “I hate when we’re going around introducing ourselves w our names and pronouns and some cis guy is like ‘I don’t have a preference’ oh yeah steve? You’ll be okay if we call you she/her”

and it’s like. how do you know they’re cis!!!! yes, i get that transphobes hate the pronoun thing and always have dumbass responses but you can’t assume that everyone who doesn’t immediately divulge specific pronouns or isn’t comfortable sharing them is a cisgender transphobe. i know most ppl assume im a cis woman even tho im nonbinary and it’s disheartening how many ppl would label me transphobic(?) for saying i don’t have a preference on pronouns atm.

another tiktok was showing a clip of a group of people being asked their pronouns and they all said “literally anything it doesn’t matter to us” and all the comments were “why was the group of women so aggressive abt it :/ just say she/her” and one of the people from the clip had to comment and say “hey, we’re all questioning our gender rn so we don’t have an answer pls don’t assume we’re cis women” and they shouldn’t have to fucking do that just bc y’all decided you were entitled to out people!!

and it’s sm worse for tma nonbinary and trans people who are often excluded from the conversation entirely.

thinking about either of them having a male love interest just makes me giggle because it’s so absurd

banish the idea that platonic love is a lesser form of love

if you go through life not investing in your friendships the same way you invest in romantic relationships, you will always be looking for love, feeling lonely, completely blind to the love all around you

friendship is not a lower level relationship. it is not a lesser form of love.

Reasons The Hunger Games Works and None of the Knock-Offs Do:

I just reread The Hunger Games Trilogy, and I have some thoughts about why they work so well and so many others just don’t.

Katniss Is Lucky: At every turn Katniss gets lucky. This isn’t a “anyone could have done this but no one’s tried before” or “main characters is special in some way” story. If Katniss’s name had been called instead of Prim’s, she probably wouldn’t have won. If anyone other then Peeta had been called she wouldn’t have won. If Cinna had picked any other year to become a stylist she wouldn’t have won. If her father hadn’t been a hunter she wouldn’t have won. If Madge didn’t give her the pin (how Rue decided to trust her) she wouldn’t have won. I can’t really explain why this is so important to me, but it is. Katniss isn’t special or super powered. She’s lucky.

Katniss Is A Symbol and 13 Has an Army: Katniss is not a rebel leader. There isn’t a group of ragtag teenagers who follow her and take on a corrupt government all on their own. She’s a symbol to inspire the people in the districts to fight, but no one ever puts her in charge of an army. Why should they? She’s a 17 year old, traumatized, child. The only time we do see Katniss lead is at the end of Mockingjay, and then it’s a group of about ten people, most of who end up dead and the mission doesn’t succeed. More importantly, 13 beats the capital because they have a fully functioning, highly trained, military ready to go.

These Are CHILDREN: Yes, every young adult story focuses on a teenager, but so many of these stories seem to forge they’re talking about teenagers. They act as if they are twenty somethings, or in the society set up you are considered an adult at 16. The Hunger Games hammers you over the head with the fact that these are kids. Katniss goes to school. I do not know a single hunger games rip off where the main character goes to completely normal every day school.

The Death’s Aren’t Shock Value: Yes, Prim’s death is shocking. It’s heartbreaking. I knew it was coming and still cried. That’s not why it’s there though. The point is how far Coin is willing to go to make sure Katniss is on her side. Everyone else’s deaths also have a point. Finnick and the others on Katniss’s team show the sacrifice people are willing to make for the cause and for Katniss. Cinna to show Katniss what happens when she resists. Rue is the cruelty of the game. Madge, the cruelness of the capital.

The Goal Is Clear: Mazerunner comes to mind with this one. What was the actual goal after the first book? Hell if I know. In The Hunger Games series there’s no fancy plan or convoluted thing they need to do. The plan is simple. Hunger Games and Catching Fire: “Don’t die”. Mockingjay there’s a lot of background stuff happening, but for Katniss the goal is always one thing: kill Snow. Everything she does is a straightforward line to that goal for almost the entire book.

Gale and Peeta: Both Gale and Peeta are totally realistic and reasonable love interests for Katniss. Neither of them are always nice or always perfect, but it easy to see why Katniss struggles to balance the two of them. There is no clear choice between the two. More importantly, the choice is representative of a larger concept. Katniss herself makes the comparison, saying Gale is rage and Peeta is calm. It’s not just between two guys, it’s between two ways of life and what Katniss needs in her life.

She Picks Peeta: I can not stress enough how important this is. In any of the knock offs I guarantee you that she would have picked Gale. Or, more accurately what would have happened is they would have switched Gale and Peeta’s personalities. Peeta would have been the angry, tortured, mysterious guy, and Gale would have been the kind, artistic, best friend. In this case, she would have still picked Peeta, but the whole point would have been lost. For all intents and purposes it would have been picking Gale. But no. Katniss picks Peeta. She picks calm and peace rather then giving in to Gale’s anger.

i just want to one day be loved like elle woods’ sorority sisters loved her

lizzibennet

they all simply do not understand why elle wants to go to harvard so bad… yet they help her study, grade her tests, motivate her and all around fully support her from the moment she decides to go and never stop believing in elle not for a single second… like wow name me one sweeter moment in all of cinema, i’ll wait

lizzibennet

sorry to be legally blonde blogging on main once again but i just wanted to talk about how easy it would’ve been to screw that movie up. the entire premise is based around a girl doing the most to get a guy, the main conflict of the film is the one between elle and viv, elle and her friends are stereotypical girly girls, etc - all that is just a perfect setup for a kind of passive aggressive lowkey misogynistic film that aims at actual feminist themes but falls short at #girlboss. but it doesn’t! while vivian is certainly catty to elle at first the insults aren’t sexist, vivian is just threatened but the confrontation is surprisingly and refreshingly… levelheaded? is the best way i can describe it. there is none of that one scene that a lot of 90’s movies seem to have where the two female protags have a fight where they insult each other’s appearance and then latch onto each other’s hair and yell bloody murder. ya know the one. there is none of that, none of the throwing around lowkey insults to women left and right, and in the end it works out quite beautifully because the only character we meet who is actually outright sexist is warner, which sets him up to be a gigantic asshole without having to have him like kill a kitten or something. it’s clever writing! and for a movie that came out in 2001 to toe that line between empowerment and sexism so well and come out the other side an enjoyable story with realistic women that does not fall under sexist tropes and stands the test of time is very admirable imo

anyway,

batmanego

one more person lumping headmates in with cringe/kin tumblr is all it will take for me to fucking snap

batmanego

headmates is a colloquial phrasing for the medical term alters, which is what the distinct/dissociated states of self present in DID/OSDD-1a/b are called. please for the love of god stop putting dissociative disorders in with kin tumblr and/or painting them as fake tumblr disorders. it makes it even harder for us ppl who have them to get acceptance
