Okay But Who Saw The Footage Of The Aftermath Of The Israeli Bombing Of A Flat In Beirut Last Night,

i have very normal human reactions to reading something written well (it makes me so overwhelmed by emotions i get nauseous and feel like im going to throw up)

I’m so sorry but this screen cap is so funny to me cjnkvyztu

Charlie is all like “I’m gonna fucking deck you” and Meeks in the background like “what the hell?”

Then Knox like “Why? Why must he be this way?” and Todd looking away “if i don’t look I don’t have to deal with it”

I know this probably isn’t funny to other people but I thought it was hilarious

“Wait, there are people blaming the writers?”

Are you surprised? Fandoms have become notorious anti-writer spaces. Studios love you guys. They can cut the budgets, cut the number of writers, cut the wages of the writers, and you guys always blame the writers. “The writers ruined the show!” It’s never “the studios ruined the show.”

I hate to break it to you: more than half the shows you complain were “ruined by the writers”, were ruined by the studios. Studios cut the scenes and arcs you were excited for. Studios cut the budget of the show, or even raise the budget of the show and force a “bigger, louder, bolder” tone on shows that were unexpected hits (this is where we get “the Netflix look” on every show post-Stranger Things and Queen’s Gambit).

You guys do not do your research. Half your fanfics are tagged with bad faith digs at the writers, when a few searches would reveal how strapped that show was and how poorly the writers were treated. Writers are being given a single week to write each episode—I’m not kidding, one-week-per-episode is one of the reasons for the strike. How are good arcs and scenes supposed to happen under that time limit, with a max of only four writers?

Tumblr, the self-proclaimed “pro-union, pro-worker, pro-artist” site is also a major fandom site. You guys rarely practice good faith consumer etiquette for television and film writers, because your fandom salt always turns you against writers. And studios love you for it.

Yeah, individual writers do create bad writing from time to time. But so do painters, chefs, and musicians. Directors and actors sometimes refuse to film certain scenes or follow a show’s projected style and arc, and the writers always get the crap for a bad performance or a poorly directed episode. This isn’t to blame actors or directors; it’s to point out that you guys have one villain, and it’s always the writers. You guys never give writers the same grace you give animators, designers, directors, actors, composers, and editors.

Studios love you every time you say “the writers ruined the show.” Every single popular fandom is guilty of this. View any of the “why did the writers cut this scene, they hate my characters” talk when leaked scenes hit the internet. Writers barely get paid for what they do write. You think they’re writing scenes and then happily throwing them in the shredder? You guys just eat the talk that studios put out. Always have.

The No Fly List isn’t a laughing matter and you all need to but down your “it/she lesbian catgirl hacked the government” memes for 5 fucking seconds and see that this is a massive exposition of the US government’s deeply entrenched racism and xenophobia that rips away people’s basic human rights and presumption of innocence. Everyone KNOWS that the US has severe issues involving the treatment of Southwest Asians and muslims, issues severe enough to pillage civilians for oil and destroy entire cultural monuments and history that cannot be ignored, and yet you all choose to look the other way anyways. If you all really gave half a fuck about tearing down imperialism and colonization as you say you do, you would do the bare minimum and acknowledge that 10% of the names on there are “Muhammed”. That there are CHILDREN on this list, because their name betrayed them and is used against them to accuse them of suspected terrorism. You would point how someone just exposed the US for violating basic rights everyone should have on a massive scale, how this airline wasn’t even supposed to have this list, and you would talk about it instead of saying “holy fucking bingle!”.

We need to learn when to put down our memes and face the reality that we can no longer avoid. We cannot stand idly by while we watch one of the world’s massive, most powerful governments mark people as terrorist with almost no procedure as to who can be put on there because of someone’s race and religion. We can’t keep avoiding the legacy that 9/11′s justification of going to war has created. We can’t keep avoiding the way that elected officials, especially Trump, have openly and proudly confessed to supporting things like this. We also need to acknowledge how lucky we are that this didn’t get into the wrong person’s hands, because it very easily could have. This isn’t funny, this is vile, and by laughing and not actually caring, we’re only serving to help this continue.

earphones aren’t enough i need this song to possess me

hot take

the x-men are more of a family than the avengers because no matter what the x-men do they’ll always end up hated by the world, but no matter what the avengers do they’ll always end up loved by the world

i love how basically the whole fandom has collectively decided to ignore canon and decide that everyone is queer in Teen Wolf

The names of the Club Q victims are out. Let’s pay our respects to each of them and celebrate their lives.

Daniel Davis Aston, 28

Daniel was a bartender at Club Q. An outspoken trans man, he continuously helped raise donations for Black trans people on his Instagram. He was “the light in every room” according to his close friend.

Raymond Green

Raymond was celebrating his friend’s birthday when the shots broke out. His friend Rich apprehended the shooter as he died. After his death, his girlfriend posted on Facebook, “u are my home. my heart. my everything. u changed my life. u made life worth living.”

Kelly Loving, 40

After moving from Florida, Kelly was new to the Colorado scene. A nurturing soul, she was “like a trans mother” to her friends. “She was loving, always trying to help the next person out instead of thinking of herself. She just was a caring person,” her sister told the New York Times.

Ashley Paugh, 35

Ashley and her friends decided to go to Club Q after spending time shopping and getting dinner together. She was a family woman and “lived for her daughter” according to her sister. She is survived by her husband and 11-year-old child.

Derrick Rump, 38

Always bubbly and joking, Derrick had no shortage of friends in the community. He was a part owner of Club Q. “He was a kind loving person who had a heart of gold,” his mother told reporters. “He was always there for my daughter and myself when we needed him also his friends from Colorado which he would say was his family also. He was living his dream and he would have wanted everyone to do the same.”

Colorado Gives is the official donation site for the survivors and victims’ families. Please donate if you can!
