sorry about the horrors, are you mad at me

i agree so much about making your blorbos pathetic but i do fear that many take this to mean 'make them more traditionally feminine/submissive' which genuinely hurts my soul. make your blorbos pathetic in interesting character-oriented ways. understand their neuroses and turn the dials up to eleven. juxtapose the parts of life they handle extremely well with the parts of their lives that make them eat shit. make them angry. make them cold. make them pave their own way to hell while building walls preventing them from seeing any other way. please i'm begging you no more pathetic as an euphemism for bottoming im gonna mclose it.

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

kimi keeps violating track limits because they took him out of school before he learned to colour in the lines #SAD

after much deliberation I have completed a simple task that took me less than 10 minutes, and I'm happy to report that this time it only cost me about 3 days of dread

whats really pissing me off with the whole mercedes situation is that for the second weekend in a row they let a dangerous car (stay) on track and they dont seem to want to acknowledge the severity of it. and lets not even mention that when kimi antonelli is repeatedly radioed to retire the car he disobeys orders and stays out and he faces zero repercussions and is instead championed a "hero" for "fighting till the end". but when geroge russell repeatedly reports back issues with his car that make him slower on the straights (which is crazy in on itself) he is dismissed and told its an "issue in his head" and that he "needs to change his driving style". and when he gets swamped by three cars because he is going slower than an f2 car its STILL half a "him issue". and again does mercedes not realise how dangerous this all is. their wilful ignorance will be their downfall

mind you people living in societies in the global south (and especially Africa) that are accustomed to hotter temperatures are suffering to an even greater extent bc their societies + infrastructure were designed for temperatures much closer to the upper limit of human tolerance. there comes a point where no amount of infrastructure can protect you from the heat bc the human body has biological limits – & not only that, but warming leads to more extreme weather conditions that societies in hotter climates are not equipped to handle. climate change is dangerous for people living in places where it has historically been very cool yes but we need to recognise that it's even more dangerous for people living in places close to the equator where it has historically been extremely hot. so i do think people from western countries that produce the bulk of emissions should keep their opinions about the heat to themselves, especially when their infrastructure is still able to protect them from the worst of the consequences they wrought

bleach-white american who's never left their hometown: oh how proud i am of my irish blood. my german hands. my greek nose. i really should look into norse religion.

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

wedding dresses are white specifically so that if the bride goes axe-crazy you can rest assured you will see the blood stains all over her and it'll be sick as fuck
