Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said "I want my father back, you son of a bitch"

A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless." The Princess Bride's revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying "there's nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there's nothing that can save you."

the first rule of shipping rarepairs is get silly with it, the second rule is do not ever ship a rarepair you will die because of it

Anyway remember when I said "kinda sucks that people from russia, iran, syria, north korea and cuba cannot make an ao3 account" and an OTW member answered me like "it's not like we don't want CUBANS on this site" so you're chill with cubans but not russians iranians syrians and north koreans. yeah that sounds about right

And when you ask them why they go "well russia is imperialist" "north korea is undemocratic" "Syria is full of extremist religious fundamentalists" "Iran is too militarized" three of these things are true of the united states as well and the fourth you always without a fault imply when an election unsurprisingly goes right leaning.

What I am trying to get to here is why is it that you think you have the right to hate on regular people with no leverage on the actions of their governments and militaries (a right that is highly encouraged by your hegemony) yet when anyone anywhere else in the world speaks ill of the culture that pertains to the united states of america you're suddenly so fiercely convinced that anyone unable to separate the actions of a government from the actions of the people is such a mean spirited discriminator that borders on xenophobe.

Everyone getting hung up on the AO3 bit of this IT'S THE EMBARGO WE ALREADY DISCUSSED IT and if I have to deal with another otw fandom activist I am going to explode so lets not get hung up on that part and engage with the actual message which is that hypocritical discrimination is at an all time high

PLEASE STOP NOT REBLOGING THIS VERSION I can see the harassment coming from a mile away. Obligatory I understand that the otw operates under US law disclaimer 🙄

white people you don’t need to say you’re white when you reblog this btw. you don’t even need to mention it btw

I wish more people understood this. if you are white, you are white before anything else. before EVERYTHING else. they see your skin color, and decide how much respect, decency, agency, rights, you “deserve”. you disliking this fact doesn’t make it less true.

Tumblr is not a social media, it's an online psych ward.

I’d like to live through a week that’s not a whole new verse of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

Dev Patel really said "I am going to make a nasty sopping wet action movie about killing sexual abusers and/or cops (same thing) and I want you all to make absolutely sure that I'm the sweatiest bloodiest wettest creature on screen and simultaneously the hottest man ever captured on film" and he was soooooooooooo right to do it. he was so right

i dont want to be in a fandom that critisizes the choices of fictional characters like they are human beings. i want to see THEORY and ANALYSIS and STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! I WANT PARALLELS AND MOTIFS AND VISUAL CUES!!! They're not REAL they are TOOLS so stop acting like they are people who made bad choices and should be punished. of course they made bad choices!!! that shit is funny and cool to watch!!

on this new years eve, as we say farewell to 2024, i'd just like to say, jesus fucking christ
