internet isn't free in america, you do have to pay lol

i thought so lmao which is why most net neutrality posts r confusing to me. like i get not wanting to be billed an extra $5 or smth to visit facebook and then another for tumblr or w/e but so many of these posts sound like you’re not paying anything at all now lol

i've actually got an answer about why some ppl critique racial colorblindness: it's because "not seeing race" can often lead to that person not recognizing their own biases. when a person doesn't "see color", they can unconsciously view their race/culture as the standard and apply it to everyone else, ignoring differences in culture and experience. being racially blind isn't meant as a bad thing, but there are issues with it

ohhh okay. i get it now. thank !

somethingwithoutdashes answered your question “Okay.  I’ve been thinking a lot about Yuri!!! On Ice recently, mainly...”

i think in the first couple of minutes of the episode, doesn't yuuri mention that apart from the nerves his dog died? and that it affected his performance? so you're right about his pet's death negatively impacting his performance

I I’ll have to look for that because I don’t remembering him mentioning the dog.  but thank you for that input!

B, C, D, R!!!

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

Lelouch/C.C, but this was mostly because I had no idea how to wrap my head around the character that was C.C. She was just weird to me because her outward lack of emotion. Then I met some people here on tumblr that really liked C.C. and they helped me figure out how to watch for her tells. I still don’t completely ship Lelouch/C.C. (my heart belongs to Suzalulu) but I still love the dynamic between the two of them so much better now that I know what to look for.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Lelouch/Shirley (Code Geass), mostly because I feel like we never got to see Shirley as her own character, it was all about Lelouch. This doesn’t mean that I hate everyone who ships them or that it can’t be cute. It just means that it doesn’t meet my personal requirements.

Jean/Eren (Attack on Titan). This is more because I enjoy their relationship more as friends than as a ship. And, when I ship something, I have to like every possible aspect of their relationship. I want this two to be bristling and spitting at each other with nothing but friendship meant for the rest of their lives. I just can’t ship it romantically.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

Steve/Bucky (Marvel). I know I’m probably going to get flack for this, but it’s true. It’s like Jean and Eren up in the last question, I enjoy them more as friends than any romantic relationship. With Jean and Eren there’s a little wiggle room, not so with Steve and Bucky.

Jean/Armin (Attack on Titan). It’s obvious I ship Jeanmarco and there are a myriad of reasons for that. I also tried to ship Jean/Armin, but the dynamic didn’t work well enough for me on a few levels. I still see the ship and want to like it, but it just doesn’t work for me.

Haruka/Rin (Free!). This one I know exactly why I can’t get myself to ship it. 1) It’s a rivalry and I usually don’t do rivalries, I prefer the slow slip from friends into something more. 2) When I watched the first season and had my ship established I thought that Rin wasn’t in a good emotional place for any kind of pairings. I shipped Rin with emotional health all that season and Haruka with Makoto. I kinda never just got out of the habit.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

Steve and Bucky or Steve and Natasha or Steve and Sam. I just love watching Steve with his friends and their collective “Steve no!”

The honorable mention is Peggy Carter and Jarvis, because I love their dynamic together.
