a multifandom mess

i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary

Just came home from a dinner party with the friendgroup at which several people kept saying "Ask Pedro" or "Pedro will know" and I was terrified that they were referring to an AI like Claude but no, thank fuck, they were referring to a cardboard cutout of Pedro Pascal that someone left upstairs and who has been designated a kind of patron saint status in the household.

tumblr users’ obsession with self-reporting (especially as a weird form of penance) needs to be studied

you don’t need to tell the world you still like Harry Potter because it’s your comfort movie or because your dad read it to you when you were little or something like that in response to a post about the harm continued monetary support of Harry Potter causes. you don’t need to tell tumblr all the myriad of reasons you don’t like rap under a post about how rap is often misrepresented as ultra-violent or overtly sexual and misogynistic because of racism. No one on tumblr has to know anything about you. no one has to know you still read your old Harry Potter books or that the only rap artist you like is Eminem. No one is going to say “oh of course you’re the One True Good Person with a Good Reason!” when you say that rap is difficult to listen to because of your auditory processing disorder or you’re only a part of the Marauders fandom. Just keep your shit to yourself and don’t embarrass yourself under other peoples’ posts.

Cheating on your spouse gives you some sort of brain rot that totally disconnects you from reality and the future consequences of what you’re doing. That is really the only way I can describe it. Occasionally I peek into pro-adultery subs and forums to study these people like bugs because their beliefs are so incomprehensible it is almost entertaining to see what they are telling themselves and others.

This is so true. An astounding amount of cheaters feel that their spouse betrayed them worse by leaving or not reacting to the news of their infidelity with the appropriate amount of heartbreak. It is so interesting how they’ll crawl back on the forums and be like “She moved on so quickly she must have been checked out of the relationship.” or “She started dating dating someone else so soon after the split she must have been cheating.” like….bitch, you cannot be certain what she was or was not doing but YOU can be certain YOU checked out and moved on WHILE YOU WERE STILL IN THE RELATIONSHIP.

Then they get upset that their ex winds up happier without them! Buddy, you did it to yourself. You did it to yourself!
