UTENA STOP TRYING TO BECOME A PRINCE THE LAKERS NEED A CENTER

formative years? aren’t they all?

show me a permanent self and i will show you a facade or a corpse

[The artist, putting a simple cake next to a much fancier one: “Aw man, that guy’s cake is way better than mine.” The Audience, gleefully holding up a knife and fork “HOLY SHIT! TWO CAKES!”]

“Holy shit two cakes,” I mutter to myself as I do fucking anything these days, this post was a godsend

Some people blame solely the racism (specifically against people with darker skin) and misogyny in fandom and the prioritizing of white guys on the Source Material. Then in Sinners the most popular guy is the white guy thats the personification of racism assimilation that doesn't appear in half the movie, a movie with 2 michael b jordans and increible black characters. In the locked tomb (book with mostly women) Silas and Colum, 2 white charas who are family and don't appear that much in the first book, have more fics than Coronabeth and Judith, a white woman and a black woman who keep appearing in the story and one of them canonically confessed her love to the other. In BG3 there is more fics with MC X Gortash (light skin bad guy that makes a tiny appearance in act 2 and then appears more in act 3) than MC X Wyll (Black guy who is literally one of the main characters in the game that is also impossible to skip, while you can completelly miss Astarion or Gale on accident). In Dragon Age: The Veilguard Davrin (the black guy) was the guy with less fics before the game was out when no one knew the characters so you couldn't judge in writing or content. In the Bridgerton show the most popular ship is the only main one who features 2 white people, etc etc like it just keeps happening and saying "its the source material, fandom just works with what it has" is just not true. And finding excuses why Every Time Actually It Makes Sense that the fandom would focus in the white guys no matter what show is justs doing mental gymnastic instead of admiting racism and misogyny exist everywhere, including fandom.

Live by the sword laugh by the sword love by the sword

she's not the one if you can't imagine her with a greatsword swung over her shoulder and blood splattered all over her face

when. when there's a female character with something deeply wrong with her. just an absolute freak of a sad creepy wet failwoman with manpain. i experience an intravenous unadultered shot of put HER in the pringles can #FEMINISM

Obviously blonde4blonde ships are fucked up and scary, but it's important to remember that fiction isn't reality. Many people enjoy things in fiction that would be fucked up irl, and writing blonde4blonde ships doesn't inherently mean that someone is actually okay with two blonde people dating in real life.

ever since i learned abt the concept of networking i knew i was going to have to do everything alone and do it the hard way

i believe i can do everything in this life except feign interest and suck up to people

what they don’t tell you is that the urge to just leave and start over somewhere far away only gets stronger the older you get
