#personal views

[littlepandarian]

Not looking to ruffle feathers but I have a thing to say.

Just because I still love the HP universe & proudly show that I’m a Hufflepuff doesn’t mean I support JKR. The HP Universe was my childhood & I’m not about to feel shame about liking it just because the author has some vile views on trans people. What she made vs how she acts are two separate things. What she says about trans people is disgusting. I do not agree with her. The only thing I’m glad she did was create the HP Universe & consequently, the F.B.A.W.T.F.T film. I love the world she created. I love the magical creatures that inhabit it. I love dressing up & showing my house pride. I love collecting Hufflepuff things.

I don’t love the author. I don’t agree with her views. I think everyone should be able to be themselves without judgement. Some of you need to learn to separate the art from the artist. “But Pandere, buying merch / Hogwarts Legacy supports her so that must mean you support her views”

First off with buying merch; Almost everything I have bought was before this whole thing blew up. I have bought a knockoff uniform recently because there’s no way in a world with or without a transphobic author, I am spending £40+ on a glorified dressing up costume. Secondly with Hogwarts Legacy. I bought it on sale (£6). JKR has more than enough money to last her a lifetime. £6 isn’t gonna make her ascend to godhood. I bought it because I like magical creatures. I love pretending to be a proper hufflepuff student. I truly enjoy playing the game.

I do not enjoy being seen as a horrible creature for playing said game. The HP Universe is & will always be one if not the most special interest to me. If you don’t vibe with this statement, you may continue scrolling. At the end of the day, I get so much joy from playing the game that if I’m seen as a vile creature so be it. I’m playing something that’s sparking joy. I value my happiness over pleasing everyone & anyone else.

We will return to silly posts after this 🌱💛

Its natural, as with everyone, with the passing of time, now I have few friends, very close and small circle i have. They all are good very good persons. I can share everything with them, but even they are good to me, I feel an emptiness in deeper deeper of my heart. A endless thrist. I feel this emptiness eternal I start to felt it after 2014 now I am surethat it will never be ended. It has strange waves, but in all this I never feel uncomfortable. Because this is also true now the days I prefer to be live alone. To listen or read OSHO's sermons enlightened the way always

Now I'm trying to understand that emptiness, what is that!!!!

As always this is my opinion. If you don’t like it that’s fine, just don’t be mean.

The new Avatar the last air-bender is not exactly like the original. However, what is important is that it had the core values of the show at its heart and I think they handled it very well. They had 8 hour long episodes to tell a 23 (I think) 20 minute episode series and yes they fudged the timelines a bit but the essential story was there and it was GOOD.

The pacing was immaculate, the characterisation of Zuko was so fricking good, the CGI was on point.

Could it have been a bit funnier? Yes

Am I a little sad that they erased Sokka’s original journey? Yeah

But they did it pretty well in my opinion by keeping his core values the same.

Maybe we are all too close to the show because we grew up with it, and now we are toddlers with the wrong plushie before bed. But at the core of its story telling it is faithful to the source material and authentic to the representation of each character. And for that I can never be mad at it.

I personally loved the show. Solid 9.5/10.

[whatissideways]

My thoughts, a mini essay to make sense of nonsense.

So, we all remember when the Wild split up The Deweys, and the reasoning was "Hey, young talented players, they deserve play-off experience and we want what's best for them *cough* can't afford to pay talent *cough*," yes?

We, the carers and feeders of ridiculous relationships that are real and evident and exist and bring tears to peoples' eyes, saw that splitting up the boys did what the suits said, experience, experience, etc, etc.

So, with Ullmark to the Sens, we are breaking up a relationship that is real and evident and exists and brings tears to peoples' eyes, because the partnership has outgrown itself - mentee overshadowing mentor - and *cough* money *cough*.

And lo and behold, both Deweys ended up in the post-season, on shiny teams that did well.

What does this all mean? *shrugs* Who knows. It's already been stated that it's a one year deal, Ullmark isn't going to re-sign with the Sens. Buuut, he declined a trade earlier with his no-movement clause, so why now, why the Sens, why break our hearts?

Is he sacrificing himself for Sway's future (yes), or is Ottawa a really great place to live for a year (um, maybe?). Why do I pick the self-sacrifice flavour of explanation? Because of this: what is different between this trade and the earlier, refused, trade? The play-offs. Specifically, Sway's experience and performance in the play-offs.

Thus, like the Deweys, a great relationship that is real and evident and exists and brings tears to peoples' eyes ends because some players are just too gosh darn good, and other people think they should have all the good things. Even us, the carers and feeders of ridiculous relationships, because we did have it and we did care, and that doesn't change.

Thank you for witnessing my rant, I'll be back on this street corner next Tuesday.

There's one thing that confuses me about modern society, and another that i am so sick of.

I never share this view as it sadly is a controversial view nowadays and one that people will react strongly to/mock me for, but that for me will only prove both my views. I hate how society is with the police. So we have said that we should not judge the actions of an individual as the actions of the many, that everyone deserves respect and equal rights, that harming people is bad, violence is bad, that people aren't their careers, it is wrong to kill, it it wrong to get joy out of people killing others, it is wrong to celebrate peoples deaths (unless they were incredibly bad people), and that we just need to care for one another as people. Yet the moment the police are mentioned, all cops are bad, all cops deserve to die, people laugh when they get killed, people encourage violence towards them, it doesn't matter who they are or what they've done, they are a bad person and deserve no remorse. Literally everything society says and i feel what we are all fighting for, suddenly it's the complete opposite when it comes to the police, but that's okay and correct? I don't get it? I find it upsetting, hypocritical, and backwards. And this isn't to say police aren't bad, power hungry, have complexes, and haven't done bad things. But there are minorities who are like that, so why does on matter and the other doesn't?

I also am just SOOOOO fucking sick of extreme reactions and violence. Wanna know what happens literally any time i share anything online lately? I have literally at least one, but usually multiple people, who are complete dicks for no reason. This includes sharing my art, photos of otters, my night terrors, dealing with QAnon people, photos of Roxy, asking people if they are a morning or night person, sharing that i took a walk, sharing that i was groomed, venting about being unable to sleep, sharing photos of my plants, sharing that i was stalked, sharing a photo of my eye, and asking people what made them happy last year. I could go on, but these are all things recently that i have shared online, and i have had at least one, but usually multiple people insult me over, get nasty, mock me, and just react so strongly and negatively for absolutely no reason? And people say "Welcome to the internet!" but it is because i have spent so much time on here that i am sick of it. And i swear it has gotten worse!

But even other things, like corporations at Pride. Do you know what? Personally i would rather corporations shell out for my money and potentially pretend to be an ally, pissing off their homophobic customers and slowly normalising the LGBT+ community, than be hated and assaulted for being gay. Which i have been. Multiple times. Yet people react as if corporations celebrating Pride is as bad as that assault! And that's the thing, this isn't political as any and all sides do it! I am just so incredibly sick of people just always being so hateful and negative and constantly having such violent and strong reactions to things just cause! Like, this random asshole this morning literally admitted he was randomly a dick to me just cause he felt like it, that was it. Why!?! And i deal with this daily! Often multiple times daily! But it is in real life too, people are becoming the same in person! A few times now i have literally put my phone on silent and only checked it when i wanted to, as i am at my limit of this unrelenting stream of bullshit that hits me daily.

I dunno what the fuck society needs, but god i hope we reach a point where we stop all this nasty bullshit, people are forgetting how to be people, people are forgetting respect, decency and care. People just act like entitled children having a temper tantrum. This is why i love a silent woods.

What makes you believe bjyx is a thing? Talk about what makes you look at them and think that there’s more than a friendship/co-stars relationship.

Part 3

Hi, anon! Well, this is the third part of a series of asks, since another two anons asked about “bjyx evidence”.

Part 1: the “biggest” moments/clues/hints (I interpreted this one as “the most likely to be real” moments, but ofc, it carries a little bit of my personal opinion as to which are more likely to be real).

Part 2: “strongest” evidence (again, from my pov).

So, in short, your ask can be answered with the posts I’ve linked there. But I wanted to add a little bit of my own experience, and why I’m more open to the possibility of gg and dd being a couple.

I think part of the reason why I was ready to accept the possibility was because of the strong feeling of déjà vu whenever I saw gg and dd playing around each other on bts, interviews and events.

It’s a more “personal experience” kind of post, so I’ll leave a cut here in case any of you isn’t interested.

I’d like to tell a little bit, just so you can see the similarities. They’re both stories of same-sex couples, friends of mine in real 3D world.

Two of them were respectively gay and bi (both out of the closet). They’d been friends for years, and they shared an apartment together. There wasn’t really a shift in their dynamic --they just slowly grew into “couple dynamic”. They behaved like an old married couple, they took care of each other in ways they didn’t do for others and they simply changed each other for the better. So, when one day they said “we’ve been dating for half a year” (yes, they admitted it after half a year), it took no one by surprise.

The other two was a special case. One of them was bi but the other one was straight. They were both each other best friend. I was the other closest friend of my bi friend, so I started to notice that they were behaving “strangely” with their friend. More touchy and cuddly, they smiled and laughed a lot around each other for silly things that the rest of the group was indifferent to, shared a lot of inner jokes, and a long etc. My straight friend, while not initiating anything, accepted things from them that they wouldn’t from others (they weren’t too keen on hugs and cuddles for example).

The rest of us just watched them flirt around for a year and it was amusing and frustrating at the same time. We didn’t want to intervene, in the case there really was nothing there, we just didn’t want to make our straight friend uncomfortable in their friendship (and souring the relationship for them). But in the end, my straight friend realized that they weren’t so straight after all.

So I’d say that I have real world experience about this. While I don’t know gg and dd personally, I’m familiar with the shift in behaviour around “others” and around “them”. Watching their bts was like being in class watching my friends flirt around once again.

Everyone’s experiences on the Internet and in the fandom is swayed by our real world experiences. In short: I just feel like I’m not seeing this kind of things for the first time, there’s “a gut feeling” kind of reaction when I see gg and dd. I know it’s not objective, but it’s an important part of why I’m here after all.

Thus, when anon says “what makes you look at them and think that there’s more than a friendship/co-stars relationship”, besides actual moments and things gg and dd say and do, my own experiences clouts me towards believing that there’s something else between them.

In my beliefs, Death is a higher power. A force in the universe that exists between the stillness of the universe and the bustling of the world. Death is ever present beyond what we can see or comprehend. Despite this They are at our beck and call. When we push the limits of our bodies, when we fight the battles of illness. Death is there to reward us with peace when our bodies grow weak and free our souls of our perishable bodies. Death punishes us for our frugality and delusions of grandeur that push us to test fate, test when Death will collect. If Gods have ever existed they fell to the influence of Death. Death is fair and just. Death offers a mercy. Death is peaceful. It is my belief that Death is judged out of fear, what we should fear is the eternity and unresolved life that would await without the surrender to the benevolence that is the end.

If Letitia doesn't want to get vaccinated, then that's her problem and it shows that she doesn't care about herself, her family and her co-workers, she can pick it up and transmit it to someone else, but she's not encouraging people not to get vaccinated and making up false news about vaccines like Nicki Minaj who didn't get the vaccine and still invented lies about vaccines. Just keep your mouth shut Letitia, if you're not going to open your mouth to say something useful it's better to keep it closed.

She needs to separate her person beliefs from work…

Wtf is she thinking? I obviously vehemently disagree with her stance, but either way, she shouldn’t be preaching this stuff at work.

Not appropriate.
