As an older sister myself, Season 1 Jinx infuriated the shit outta me. And some of her stans were so mean to Vi that it only added to this anger I felt.

"but Jinx was traumatized" So was Vi and basically everyone else from Zaun. And I'm not here to diagnose her, I already know that's a lot of people that take Jinx as BPD representation but I don't know if this is official or just a HC but even if she is, that's not an excuse to be mean to people.

Sure, it's something that blurs your judgment and everything, especially when you're having a mental/emotional crisis situation, but still, after everything it's okay, you need to be held accountable for the shit you did. And I'm saying this bc I see a lot of people that hide behind their diagnosis and use them as an excuse to be mean without consequences. Please, don't do this.

And something that I realized was that as soon as Silco was gone, Jinx started to get better. I'm sorry Silco apologists but Silco wasn't a good father figure, as he only fueled Jinx psychosis, insecurities and paranoia, and encouraged her to be okay with murder people and everything he also did.

And gets funnier cuz even Sevika became a better person after Silco was gone

"then why does Jinx still hallucinate Silco as her mentor figure?". Because he was, a bad one for sure but still a mentor figure. Sure, Vander was her father for a longer time but Silco was her father figure during an important and vulnerable part of her life, so it makes sense she still looks for him and maybe doesn't even acknowledge all the bad stuff he did to her.

"but she was only being guided by trauma, just like Caitlyn in season 2". Exactly! Understand why something happens, doesn't mean you have to agree with it.

I've also seen people commenting that Jinx was acting off character, that she was too calm and there were missing the chaotic Jinx from s1. And like bro? Do you care abt the well being of your fav character? Like I've said, she was more calm bc she didn't have anyone in her ears telling her that she was abandoned, that she was right to blow shit and kill ppl...also, the fact that people from Zaun were looking at her and treating her as martyr, also made her see things differently.

Remember Vander's line "when people look up to you, you can't be selfish" and that's why Jinx was just so chill. Isha also played a big part of this, as she became an older sister herself and prob, even unconsciously, started to relate and understand Vi.

As it's no surprise, I loved #RRR. And now, I have a brand new #Letstalkabout #video where I do my #speedpaint of this image of #ramaraju and #bheem, while talking about the importance of language as part of the storytelling of RRR!

As most of you know, I love domestic Winchesters. I always enjoy scenes where they boys arent out chasing a lead and are just sitting at home or in a motel room being brothers.

I’ve been thinking about what my favorite thing is that they do “off the clock” and it has to be cooking for each other. Dean seems to be more of a cooking enthusiast, I mean he even loves his apron, but Sam also cooks. Not only do they cook for each other, but neither ever complains about the food. In fact, they act as though it’s the best food ever!

I refer to how much Sam enjoyed Dean’s home cooked burger in S8 “Trial and Error” and how Dean needed a moment alone with the grilled cheese Sam made him in s10. 

I think this touches me so much because cooking is my love language. I love cooking for people, especially those I love, and it makes me happy when they enjoy my food. 

In s15, A Hero’s Journey, Sam is cooking dinner, and even though it got ruined, I couldnt help but see what he was cooking. He had a chicken roasting in the oven, rotini boiling in the pot, a pan of tomato sauce simmering and the fixins for a salad on the counter, featuring red, green and yellow peppers. There is so much love and comfort in that dinner. Very well rounded, and hearty for 2 big dudes, and nothing screams “I care about you” more than having 3 colors of peppers!

Dean’s s8 burgers were also very special. The werent just thrown together, they were nice and thick with lettuce and tomatoes and a big brioche bun which appeared to have melted butter washed on top. Sam lovded it so much he took it on the road with him!

Its been nearly 2.5 years since SPN ended and I still watch and think about Sam and Dean all the time. If you’d like me to talk about something SPN related that interests you, message me or send me an Ask and I’ll post more “Let’s Talk About” themes,

But please, please stop trying to tell people how they should feel about it.

Marginalized groups are not a monolith in this country. BIPOC is not a monolith. Disabled people are not a monolith. Queer people are not a monolith. Immigrants are not a monolith. No one is required to live up to your expectations of how they should be reacting to this news.

The world didn't change because you voted for it to. I know this whole process has been exhausting across the board but we aren't done affecting change; it will take much more than a week or a year or a decade to see the positive improvements we want.

So celebrate if you want to, if you need to. That's important. But don't forget that not everyone can right now and they shouldn't be forced to do so for you. Be mindful of your celebrations.
