୨୧ BUT BEING NORMAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US! ୨୧

The best part of any fandom experience is getting so deep into your love and analysis that your ranting about The Characters is borderline incomprehensible unless you write a 10 page essay. And then you find another fan equally as obsessed on the same wavelength and you just go back and forth with those 10 page essays. Unbeatable. Hey I've got an hour to kill want to hear my rant about how the deliberate way The Character is always framed through other people's pov and never her own is a part of her battle with the metanarrative of the show to retain her privacy? Ok cool here's six screenshots to start and if you ignore the cw logo-

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

Wordle is running out of words. Only 2,000 five letter words remain. When that supply is exhausted the Creation shall begin. One day the word will be ZHURM, and all shall get it, and all shall understand it to mean "an ache from suddenly remembering a long-ago friend, who meant something to you once, but whose face you can no longer conjure". The next day the word shall be JOROL, and all will get it, and all will know it means "the melancholy confusion of passing by somewhere where you once could have died". The next day it will be GREFT, and all will understand it to be a small brown bird with white streaks found only in South America, and suddenly, it will appear, in the shrubs of the Atacama desert, in the streets of São Paulo, and all will know that it once was not there, but now, will always be

it doesn't matter which country we're talking about here, if someone from any country in the world says "oh where i am from there is simply no racism", you not only shouldn't believe them, but you should actually never take them seriously about anything ever again.

honestly im very tired of peoples inability to recognize stereotypes that stem from sax rohmer novels i think white people especially owe it to asian people to do a cursory reading of the premise of fu manchu novels and read the characters are associated with them just so they can get their heads out of their asses and stop blindly reading fu manchu and fah lo suee reskins without any critical thought

like an asian daughter trying to get away from her evil dad or trying to usurp her father with the help of white men is a anti asian stereotype i need yall to know that. the daughter who is actually good and is just a helpless victim of her father and she needs help from a white man to either get away or kill her father is a racist stereotype. Id take it a step further and say that even if its not a white man getting help from any outside force to usurp or run from her father is in fact racist. An asian woman falling in love with a white man and that white man basically making her realize that she shouldn't be following her father is racist it comes from Daughter of the Dragon. It comes from Sax Rohmer. We need to recognize that its a thing. We need to be critical of how we talk about characters that fall into that trope

if you reblog anything from me I wish it were this. the anti asian stereotypes from sax rohmer novels are so prevalent in literally everything its difficult to find anything with Asian people that doesnt have at least a few. especially comics

you are required to be and act anti-racist

thinking and hoping you're not racist isn't enough. i am talking specifically and especially to white trans people whose political ideology and differing axis of oppression makes them feel immune to racially motivated missteps and behaviors

i will be a bitch & say it i have no compassion for woman who reject feminism. it might be YOUR CHOICE to believe that women are fragile & need to protected or are helpless lil creatures of whatever the fuck but the moment you start imposing those ideologies on other women is when you're done for me. you may like your cage & fuck you or good for you for it ig but stop dragging other women down when we are genuinely trying our damnedest to dismantle this patriarchal world. this specially applies to terfs you're all fucking traitors.

coworker asks if i like harry potter and i have to make a disco elysium skill check to come up with a response

writing short stories is mostly drawing shapes in the sand whereas writing a novel is usually more lego bricks. and poetry is all about draining pus
