The fandom is several hundreds of years old, it won't be stopping anytime soon.

[zevkisser]

We're staying until the BBC gets to the bottom of the barrel of their IP and we get middle-aged Colin and Bradley in a three episode monstrosity AND WE WILL ENJOY IT.

Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.

is this the sorter everyone is talking about??

[miss-oranje]

have u guys noticed the phenomenon that's like

- m/f ship between a nonblack man & a Black woman

- it's either canon (e.g. mel/jayce arcane, arthur/guinevere bbcmerlin) or entirely plausible (e.g. prism or coupé/robert dispatch)

- fanbase overwhelmingly pairs nb man off with another nb man and disengages from the Black woman character, shunting her into a background wise & sassy caretaker role (for which there is a name) or leaving her out of fanworks entirely

- fans who do this ^ claim it is an expression of love and admiration for the Black woman character, actually, bc the nb man (who may be her canonical partner) "can't handle all that" (he may be perfectly competent and engaged; she may be totally low maintenance; it has no bearing), she's just too wonderful (too much) and out of his league (lacking in flaws and interiority and fan appeal)

have we all observed this and can we see the multiple dimensions in which it is racist ☝️ i'm not bringing it up to make any beautiful fujos feel bad abt shipping this or that, just to ask for some consideration of what ppl are saying abt Black women when they make their excuses to each other. like you can just not make the excuses. yk?

[miss-oranje]

[miss-oranje]

is the fire making it hard to read. here.

this post is about misogynoir. not which ships u do/don't like.

the post seeks to reopen a discussion (which others have brought up before) about how Black women characters are talked about by shipper communities.

comments about the relative merits of one ship over another can add nothing to that conversation, which is about casual use of racist stereotypes and sexist language.

please stop commenting to tell me you like jayvik.

thanks

hunger games reread observation #2: katniss genuinely has so much empathy for capitol residents its kinda crazy. she calls her design team idiots but also remarks that they are genuinely trying to help her. she feels that caesar is doing everything he can to help the tributes in their interviews. she doesn’t respond when cinna says “how despicable we must seem to you” irt the massive bounty of food they have access to at the push of a button. despite her internal acknowledgement of The Capitol as a whole being ghoulish and evil and her reflections on the roof seeing people dance and party in the street and hating them, once katniss is face to face with a capitol citizen (even the ones directly taking part in the games as an institution) she can’t help but acknowledge their humanity and she honestly kinda likes them more often than not

[zevkisser]

this is very true and i think a lot of it can be explained by the fact that hardened by life as she is, katniss is still a child

[danhumphrey]

no real and to clarify i’m not dunking on katniss i think this is a strength of hers

[zevkisser]

NO ONE fucking gets it. good people dont need rules and today is not the day we find out why i have so many !!!!!!!
