Like I'm not even begging their pardon.

Apparently Chili’s called Destiel a “poor ship” and hellers are losing their minds on Twitter. Given Destiel has zero evidence of ever happening (and Jensen has insisted it doesn’t exist), I’m finding the implosion amusing and baffling. Hellers are even tagging Jensen and Misha on it. Misha might respond—of course, because that’s all he has left—but Jensen won’t care. The fact hellers think Jensen would is leaving me incredulous.

Shipping is fine. Insisting that it’s canon when it’s not isn’t fine. Trying to trap and force one half of a ship despite the show being over for years isn’t fine.

Hellers, give it up. Find a different, legitimate ship. Geez.

I deleted my Twitter account because I'm fed up with seeing dramatic posts and arguments between users every day. It's a real shame; nothing good comes from social media...

It's just that it affects my mood and I don't like it.

You want to know what exactly it's about? I don't know if this makes you laugh or slap your face because it's so absurd, but let's move on...

The debate between fiction and reality is back again. We are returning to a time when films, literature, and video games are dangerous to human mental health.

Let me explain, I haven't followed everything that's been happening in the gacha communities or whatever, but what I learned was "half of it anyway" This is about Love and Deepspace. I haven't played the game and I won't play it because it's not my type of game personally. But there is a somewhat explicit passage depicting a brother-sister relationship. Some say it's incest, others say it's just fiction, etc...

I guarantee you that this drama stems from there and I'm not kidding.

Then things get chaotic, with talk of proshipping and anti-proshipping...But I'm not going to lie to you, I didn't like proshipping before the "minor-adult relationship" And today, I don't care at all about their fantasies; they can do what they want and it's none of my business.

Well, the new year is about to begin and here comes a new war on Twitter. It's so absurd, but oh well, I thought... Okay, I'm leaving Twitter and I won't set foot on it again. Goodbye to my followers (anyway, I didn't have that many, just a hundred at most). I know it's sad, but I needed some order in my life.

I cannot wait to see Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken no matter the mixed reviews and numerous spoilers. I'm thinking of going this weekend to the cinema. This, is for a very important reason:

Chelsea Van Der Zee, is the reason. When I initially saw pictures of her, I was hyped to see how DreamWorks is going to poke fun at the live-action remakes. Because come on, production of this movie started 2 years after the announcement of the live-action Little Mermaid. BUT, there is another layer to the parody of her character that will fly over most people's heads: She's a Dutch mermaid. Her faux-Dutch last name is a proper sounding Dutch surname, it doesn't falls into the pitfalls of writing it as Vanderzee, and whilst on the nose it's a well-constructed surname. Like, the people who created her last name were aware of HOW our surnames were constructed and didn't end up creating a non-realistic surname that simply sounds Dutch like Gossip Girl did. I remember trying to playback a moment in the trailer several times, when Chelsea confronted Ruby about being a kraken in the trailer, she says a word at the end that I couldn't place and no matter how many times I rewinded it I didn't understood what she said. Until I came across the scripted version of the quote yesterday; “I know your secret. You're a kraken, hiding as a human. And soon, everyone will know the truth. Kusjes!” Kusjes is horribly butchered, but it's Dutch for 'kisses' and we actually do use that and XOXO, just like English speakers do so the usage of Dutch that I have seen so far is correct. Now, I have actually seen people speculate she's Dutch because of That's So Raven, but as a Dutch person myself I see it from a different angle: There's a phenomenon I like to call the 'Dutch Default'. Historically, the English had difficulties recognizing which Germanic speaking culture was which. You can even see this reflected in our English name, 'Dutch', when that's how the Germans refer to themselves, as the Deutsch. We calls ourselves Nederlanders in our tongue. Pennsylvanian Dutch? I was told the area was mostly Swedish. I can continue with examples. Whilst I noticed the UK has became a little better educated about the topic, this is still perpetuated by Americans to this day. When The Little Mermaid live action was announced, there were various people who actually confused us for the Danish. Some were harmless comments like calling the novel Dutch instead of a Danish novel. Others were not. When there were Danish people speaking on social media about how disappointed they were with how Disney treats one of their national symbols, there were hate comments from people defending The Little Mermaid, but various were directed at the Dutch because Americans were too lazy to even Google which culture they are hurling insults too. This, was all taking place during the production of Ruby Gillman. Now, how likely is it that Chelsea is a Dutch mermaid because of That's So Raven, and how likely do you think DreamWorks noticed Twitter and decided to use the Dutch Default as another layer to the parody of Chelsea's character? Because it's not like the entirety of Hollywood seems to be unaware of this phenomenon. The Umbrella Academy S2, actually has this scene with the Swedish brothers being called Dutch even though the characters were already told they were Swedish, and Five corrects them like, "No, they're Swedish." Paired with how Luther shouts at innocent Olga through the phone, it gives a perfect portrayal of how clueless Americans are about foreign cultures. There are people in Hollywood who do notice how little Americans know about other cultures and will harass innocent people on false misconceptions. For DreamWorks to poke fun at Twitter wars for doing so, makes me love Chelsea Van Der Zee.

If I ever see one of those stupid Americans again because this whole drama isn't completely over yet, I will summon Chelsea to drown them to the bottom of the Ocean.

The Great Internet Grievance War the Right Has Wanted Is Here. It Ain’t Going Well.

The “Twitter Files,” and the journalists hand-picked for them, don’t reveal what Elon Musk wanted.

The entire CANCEL CULTURE victim trope of the right is essentially a grievance against ACCOUNTABILITY for spreading false information and treating VERIFIED information differently than LIES from TROLLS intent on subverting the truth.
