peterdonaldson: yuuuuuup. when people wanted a trigger warning for flashing lights in TOWN it got put up within hours with an apology note attached, and one for biphobia in GUERRILLA got slipped in weeks later w/ no announcement, you had to keep checking the description for it to see if it was there, and i'm p sure it's not in the video's tags on their tumblr like the other trigger warnings are. people literally ASKED FOR THEIR VIDEO TO HAVE A TRIGGER WARNING FOR BIPHOBIA and they never addressed it. boggles my MIND.

omg I had almost forgotten about that. it actually gets worse! incredible. your denial has no effect TCW, we all saw your biphobia AND your lack of response to the criticism of it. I can’t believe this basically proves they don’t give a shit. except that I totally can. ://///

thegreatsapphicvein: they've never apologized for any of their racism either

This is also very true, yeah. Again, tcw, we all saw you actively sidelining every POC in your shows in favor of the white faves, but go ahead and try to pretend like you didn’t. ugh.

are we going to talk about how seriously problematic it is that the only interracial relationship within the flat was the least developed of all/had the least screen time, or how the only ship with canon-confirmed queer ladies is entirely irrelevant to the plot and could be removed completely and nothing would change? or are we ignoring that?

Thank fuck for Zoos Job

I adore Mouce and she is obviously an incredibly talented singer but after the clusterfuck that was Sunday’s episode I was hoping for more.

Okay, looking at the lolilo tag in the aftermath of AFTERMATH, a lot of people seem to be thinking of Balthazar as like perfect or not having any flaws but... i disagree. a lot.

I think the responsibility that Balth feels for peter is a Major Flaw. That is not healthy. that is so not how to have a friendship. ultimately Peter is responsible for himself, and while it’s okay to care about friends, it’s really not a good thing that Balth feels guilty about and personally responsible for Peter.

Let’s also not forget that Balth is non-confrontational to a fault and doesn’t sit down and talk things out and actually address problems.

Now this is not me hating on Balth at all, I love him as a character and I think he’s a very interesting character, but he’s certainly Not Perfect. In fact, one might argue that the point of LLL is that Nobody is Perfect.

I know that people often fall into dichotomous thinking that there is “Good” and “Bad” characters, or people, or whatever. But I’d like to encourage people to consider that stories, the world, characters, other people, etc. are a lot more complex than just “Good” or “Bad”.

As always, all dichotomies are false dichotomies. Putting someone (even a character) on a pedestal is one of the worst things you can do to them because they will inevitably fail to live to your expectations of them.

Petition to stop treating Peter Donaldson like a child who lacks basic humanity and comprehension in this narrative

Ben and Bea saying that someone needs to be punished feels kinda disgusting since Ben's the only flatmate who hasn't been punished yet and he's so self righteous because of it and acts like he's some sort better person for not having been caught up with his unevitable rule breaking shit yet and it is just disgusting

New plan:

How about I just let y’all know when there’s an episode of lolilo where part of my brain doesn’t ascend to a different plane of exist in order to scream for about 3 hours after watching it?
