swtor OC brain rot

RIGHT? I never got the Corellia slander, well I get it but once you understand how it works it isn't really a problem. When you know where the tunnels are, you don't get as lost. Though I agree the map should tell you where they are 😭😭

ouat really said "we've entrusted a seven-year-old with a newborn baby and sent them to a completely foreign world where he will have the responsibility of singlehandedly raising her into the savior of our world. Unfortunately, it didn't work because he's fucking seven. Also because of the shitty American foster care system." and honestly it was pretty great.

firm believer you can't be a ''good person''. too much niuance to life.

you can be good (adjective) but you cannot be good (identity)

if you think you are good (identity) you are more likely to cause harm as you don't consider yourself to be capable of it

the boss makes a dollar, i make a dime, so i do trichotillamania on company time

not to be a joyless hag but I've started seeing genderbent "yuri" shipping Markiplier and Ryan Gosling and I can't help but think of someone I recently I unfollowed for posting that they have an easier time caring about genderbent versions of boy characters than regular fictional women

and I'm also building some connections to that post I made about reading books by Black women (you know the one) and the people who would respond by saying something akin to "joke's on you, I only read fanfic 😜" as if that were some kind of clever loophole and not a demonstration of the exact thing I was talking about

like yes fandom is about fun or whatever but idk man at what point has your desire for no thoughts head empty uncritical consumption left you splashing around in something that's been blended down to an indistinguishable goo for the sake of avoiding anything remotely challenging. with the thing that's "challenging" here being. you know. giving a shit about women and Black people and like frankly anyone but your shippable white men (and honorary Markiplier).

I just finished reading the article. If I didn’t already know the article was several years old, I’d swear it was written today. Racism in fandom spaces and the privilege, by some, to ignore it, is still a very relevant issue. In our current state of media censorship brought on by the current administration, and the fear of it by networks, makes the topic of the article hit home even harder. Shows/projects get cancelled all the time, sure. But it does not escape notice that the vast majority of those projects are ones that featured queer and BIPOC actors/characters. And yes, while in production, these actors were subjected to horrible treatment online by racists fans and anti fans. I feel like this all reached its peak in 2024 when Disney+ cancelled the Acolyte. This was followed a few years later by Netflix removing She-Ra and the Princesses of Power from the platform. How can fandom claim to be a place where all can ‘escape’ to when fandom doesn’t even have a place for ‘everyone’?

Women who you don't like, or you don't politically align with, or who are horrible people, still have the right to see their rapists and abusers face justice and to have their voices heard.

Because the second you start dehumanizing people and then using that as justification for stripping away their rights, there WILL be someone who uses that same justification against you.

Sometimes "rarepair" means "you are literally the only person who posts about this on tumblr dot com" and you have to learn to be okay with that.
