sorry to everyone who dealt with my jinx obsession in 2024 i promise it'll be much worse in 2025 🥰

Y'all saw that too💀 ts was funny, esp since jinx doesn't have a set sexuality, it's completely different shipping her with fem characters vs shipping vi (a confirmed lesbian) with male characters and the fact that he saw it as such a sin makes me giggle

it’s hysterical seeing men pissing themselves over the fact there aren’t that many jinx x male reader fics boo fucking hoo!

We’re so used to the sexual reading of the entire book of Dracula, which takes the sensuality of the early chapters and jams everything that follows it into the same metaphor no matter how poorly it fits, but I feel the segment we’re approaching works much better with a lens of chronic illness and disease.

Vampire legends are inextricably intertwined with disease. Many of them are said to have been birthed by burying victims of disease too soon, who later seem to rise from the dead. But what’s more is that Stoker and his family have deep-seated trauma over disease: his mother had to flee her hometown at the age of 14 because of a horrific cholera epidemic, and Stoker himself was bedridden as a child from an illness that no one could identify.

Found this quote from Irish Historian Mary McGarry:

Bram as an adult asked his mother to write down her memories of the epidemic for him, and he supplemented this using his own historic research of Sligo’s epidemic. Scratching beneath the surface (of this essay), I found parallels with Dracula. [For instance,] Charlotte says cholera enters port towns having traveled by ship, and can travel overland as a mist—just like Dracula, who infects people with his unknown contagion.

I bring this up because a lot of academic analysis insists that Lucy sleepwalking is proof of her being the Slutty Woman archetype that needs to be punished. This suggested symbolism is hilarious when put next to the text saying she inherited it from her father, but I’d like to suggest a different angle from the lens of disease suggested earlier:

Lucy’s sleepwalking is a condition that predates Dracula but makes her an easy target for him to prey on. Through the lens of disease symbolism, she now is someone with chronic illness or disability who is especially vulnerable to infectious disease. This becomes a cross-section of Stoker’s trauma regarding disease: his own mystery illness and his mother fleeing a plague.

To wind down my rambles with a bit of a soapbox, I feel this adds a very poignant layer to the struggle to keep Lucy alive. The COVID pandemic showed a horrifying level of casual ableism vs disabled and immunodeficient individuals, shrugging off their vulnerability and even their deaths with “well COVID only kills them.” There’s something deeply gratifying at seeing the way everyone around Lucy fights to the bitter end to protect her and refuses to just give her up to Dracula, whether it’s Mina physically chasing him away or the suitor squad pouring their blood into her veins or Van Helsing desperately searching for cures. The vulnerable deserve no less than this. They’re not acceptable casualties.

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

"Ekko lost everything in the end, his ideal timeline, his girlfriend, his mentor. He saved the world but was left with nothing😭"

The Firelights: ...

i do not want to hear SHIT about how "jinx is a better big sibling than vi and vi sucked." jinx is going to be a good older sister because she had a good older sister end of discussion

Sorry but the Haymitch's dynamic with his final two tributes. will never not fuck me up.

Katniss: He hates hates hates her for being the same as him. He can communicate with her because she is the same as him. He's her mentor, of course he cares about her. He should be a father figure to her but he's too stunted by his own trauma so they exist like teenage allies in the never-ending arena which is a victor's life. He wants to keep her safe but she must also be a pawn in the rebellion. She makes him make promises he cannot keep. She is all that he could have been and he is all that she might be.

Peeta: The sacrificial lamb. The one Haymitch knows he can't keep. The boy who is better than the rest but must be condemned to die time and time again. Who demands that Haymitch saves Katniss, as Katniss demands that he saves Peeta, but Haymitch could not save Maysilee, or his family, or his girl. Everyone Haymitch has ever lost compressed into a single body and placed beside Katniss, so he is forced to look at her as his mirror.

Thought this was a necessary measure because we all know that surge of clueless thirsty tiktok fans is gonna happen.

[woah this post blew up how,,,,, psa that i have indepth analysis + theories on my feed if you crave more sotr content]

So real, I'm a little burnt out but omg do I want to

I want to write a fic for jinx and isha but I haven't written a fic in 2 years 😭.

“One day I’m gonna ride in one of those things.” — powder (s1. ep1.)

i just finished……..what was that

the pink streak of light. jinx escaped

"what's wrong with my pants?"

"nothing babe come back to bed"

The vibe I’m getting from the fandom rn

Alright, I’m typically not like this but something needs to be addressed

We aren’t talking enough about how hot Jinx is. Silco is really to call her perfect in every way and it makes me want to scream.

Her smile, amazing. Her rage, breathtaking. Her sadness, poetry. Jinx’s eyes could change a thousand times and they’d be stunning all the same.

The cloud tattoos have me obsessed. Her facial features are always soft and rough at the same time. Everyone emotion is a picture and her hair is everything. She is both the eye of a hurricane and the entire fucking storm. I know Ekko punches the air every day mad they aren’t on the same side.

I know she’s a red flag in every way but listen, her attachment issues are only a problem if you leave, and I simply would not. Problem solved. Why would leave someone so cool and smart?

This scene has a grip on me! It’s so beautiful and tragic! She is blue, feeling blue, in a sea of blue and I’m eating it up. I love everything about Jinx so much and it’s crazy!

Thank you for your time. I will now attempt to act normal about her again until Arcane eventually gives me a scene to make me fold again.

What will you be tonight? That’s the question

Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.

you dislike Luke Castellan because he disagreed with an oppressive government system and actually took action to change the abusive ways him and his peers have been forced to follow for millennia.

I dislike Luke Castellan because in the Titans Curse he manipulated Annabeth, who he raised as his little sister, into holding up the sky, the FUCKING sky, for over 20 hours and had the audacity to walk away as though he was completely apathetic towards it while she begged and pleaded with him to help her.

we are not the same.

Why do fans keep acting like Rhaenyra and Cersei are in the same situation ?

Cersei's children aren't Robert's, the ruling monarch

Rhaenyra's children aren't Laenor's, the consort

Rhaenyra is the legitimate heir and Jace, Luke and Joffrey are her biological kids

Robert didn't know about Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen

Laenor actively knew that Rhaenyra had chosen Harwin as the biological father of their children and agreed

Corlys and Rhaenys knew and loved the Velaryon boys and acknowledged them as their grandsons

the fuck was bro thinking?

a piece of me dies every time im reading a fic and taylor swift lyrics pop up😭 then i realize the description of the oc or “reader” are very white coded like OH! that’s not…

“Not all men”

You’re right, Percy Jackson would never treat me like that.

Aegon II: My father named me as his heir

Otto:

how it feels still being a jinx lover watching the season 2 trailer knowing literally 99% of the characters are against her
