Yall need to remember that no matter how popular a fic gets (even if it’s literally the most popular fic on ao3) it still goes against fandom etiquette to publicly hate on it or say that it’s bad. Those opinions belong in private conversations or in your private bookmarks, nowhere else. Fanfics are gifts that we aren’t entitled to, and we have to treat them as such.
stop invalidating people, start validating them!
use whatever the fuck terms you want!
use xenogenders, use microlabels, use neopronouns! who cares! it isnt hurting anyone.
so what if your gender/orientation/pronouns/whatever is weird or "cringe"? its yours! you can describe yourself however the fuck you want
(Anti xeno/anti neos/anti microlabels/anti mogai and other bigots dni.)
the supreme court is run by nothing but ignorant, controlling cis men who don't care about the lives of women and i am so done
Anyone need an affirming Laios?
you are not attention seeking.
needing and wanting attention is valid and part of being human. even though there are better ways of getting the attention you desire, you are not wrong for wanting your needs fulfilled. wanting to be seen is valid. there is nothing wrong with needing attention.
POSTING THIS AGAIN!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!

riddle me this
why is it when a new supernatural drama comes out every 2 minutes with straight white leads reviewers call it fun and sexy but when a new supernatural drama comes with a wlw plot line with a black non stereoytpical protagonist suddenly the trope is tired and boring?
im so fucking tired of this shit.
and im just gonna say this too:
if it was two white leads half the hot takes about “ poor representation of sapphic media” would be non existient cause not one thinkpiece i’ve seen has been groundbreaking
People who say Wanda enslaving a small town as a way to cope with grief are used to seeing women suffer instead of women getting angry.
This fetishism of tragedy, having to make sure a woman's emotional expression fits in with the traditional feminine narrative - crying, not screaming; hysterical but not violent - focusing on the victimhood instead of anger when it's righteous, is a product of internalised misogyny. Most of the time, women are societally conditioned to induce sympathy rather than show their strength.
What she did was wrong, on all levels. But was it an expected response to losing everything, for the, what, second, third time? Absolutely. Wanda deserves to experience anger in all it's ugly, hurtful blaze. She deserves to "punch a hole in the drywall" so to say, on par with her male counterparts. It doesn't make her actions right, but it offers some insight.
I doubt that was what Marvel was trying to show us, being a product of corporate moneymaking conveyor and all, but that's what I took personally.
a really great organization that i don't see any posts about here is HEAL palestine. it was founded by steve sosebee, who was a founding president of the PCRF before leaving in late 2023 to refocus his efforts on heal palestine to better meet the needs of palestinians impacted by the genocide. the organization provides palestinians in gaza with food, clean water, shelters, "makeshift classrooms," and even medical evacuation for some children when it's possible--their services are pretty wide.
you can donate here if you would like to send a tax-deductible donation to an organization. also, i don't think any evacuations are possible right now, but if you're in the united states and you'd like to welcome medically evacuated children in the future, i highly recommend signing up for their newsletter or following them on social media so you can stay updated in case any children evacuated by HEAL come to your area for treatment. welcoming these kids at the airport is a really moving way to provide them with moral support, entirely for free.
