PRO PALESTINE, ANTI-BULLSHIT

Woah mama if you are transphobic you get the Elvis Special (a bullet)

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

this post has re-wired my brain in the best way

My friend messaged me this link, after we had previously been discussing this and how uncomfortable the narrative was because of the reasons listed here. I had to dig out my login JUST to repost this.

Everyone keeps talking about how great it was to see Love Quinn again, and it was, but what about Guinevere Beck? I know that Love was a Feminist Icon who murdered people and Tumblr loves that content, but everyone just ignores that Beck was a normal woman who wrote poetry and was complex and lived her life and then she was stalked and murdered by her boyfriend in a scene that was probably so violent that it wasn’t shown onscreen.

I love them both, but Beck truly has my heart man

I honestly think Paco will come back, but grown up and not with the intention of taking Joe down. I think it will just happen, possibly with Ellie's insights. He's either going to continue on the cycle and if Joe sees that, he'll kill him. OR, he'll break the cycle and take Joe down for good. Nadia isn't staying silent in prison for long, I feel it in my bones.

bro shut up i’m trying to recall the details of my prophetic dream

i love when characters don't get to die

this is about villains/antagonists/general horrible people who finally face up to what they've done. especially if they try to pull the good ole "Dramatically Does One Good Thing To Redeem Themselves And Dies," but despite their best efforts they DON'T die. like yes motherfucker there's no easy way out for you, there's only the slow, awkward and painful process of learning to live with yourself. of learning to live with the weight of your mistakes. you get a second chance regardless of if you think you deserve it. you get to try to make amends and do good. you get to live.

this is also about every self-sacrificial bastard of a protagonist who puts themselves in harm's way again and again and again to a wildly unhealthy and unnecessary degree. see, there's something so compelling to me in the unspoken suicidality of repeated heroic self-sacrifice, and the thing about implicitly suicidal characters is that i want them to live. and that can be used to make a death so much more tragic and impactful - noble sacrifices and last stands certainly can and have been done beautifully - but there's also something special to me in seeing such a character make it. because you'd die for the people you love, yes, but would you live for them?

Out of ratrimony, if you will.
