i feel like all fandom spaces would improve dramatically if more people learned how to enjoy non-canon ships which were never written as romantic without acting entitled to official validation or throwing a hissy fit over not getting something that they were never promised
like i promise there’s nothing wrong with shipping characters together while accepting that they won’t ever be a canon couple or with choosing to interpret their interactions as romantic while acknowledging that the writers clearly didn’t intend for it to be read that way
fandom having such easy contact with casts and writers and stuff was a mistake
leave them alone lmao fandom isn’t about changing canon, it’s about playing with it like barbies
it’s so funny when a poll goes around that’s like “have you ever had sex?” or “how often do you smoke weed?” and people act super aghast when 30-40% of respondents say that they haven’t/don’t as if like half of the users of this site aren’t high schoolers
“oh my goddddd why have so few people on this site had sex or gotten drunk?” it’s easy to forget bc we all only interact with our fellow twentysomething mutuals but it’s because like half of all tumblr users are 14 year olds. Hope this helps
I think ive said it before but you really gotta feel bad for oedipus that wanting to fuck your mother got named after him. He really did not want to do that . It is central to oedipus rex how badly he didnt want to do that. Dick move by freud
Pasteups in NYC denouncing Facebook for collaboration with Nebraska police to sentence a teenage girl to 90 days in jail for using using the abortion pill to terminate her pregnancy.
Facebook gave the cops ALL THE DATA of the teen and her mother, based on a hunch by some random fucking cop. This included years worth of photos, videos, ‘private’ chats and THEIR FUCKING LOCATION DATA.
DON’T TRUST SOCIAL MEDIAS WITH ANYTHING
ID: Text pasted on a wall reading “Facebook gave Nebraska cops a teen’s DMs so they could prosecute her for having an abortion” /End ID
This is a perfect example of why we need things designed for a variety of body types. Far too many plus-sized clothes are skinny clothes just made bigger, which rarely (if ever) have the desired effect. Not only do things not look the same in this context, it’s fair to say they were not designed (or redesigned) to look good on these different body shapes. The options are often mumus or things not really designed for you.
This man has come up with a variety of amazing outfits that look fantastic on his body. We need more of this.
I love you sir. You are gorgeous and we should say so.
I was just explaining how I saw “To Wong Fu,” in the theaters as a 17 year old with a bunch of highschool friends and absolutely nobody was scandalized. This drag panic is entirely orchestrated and much ado about nothing.
I mean, somebody’s going to mention Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, or Flip Wilson as Geraldine, but way back in the fifties, Milton Berle was on Texaco Star Theater and your grandparents or great-grandparents loved it.
A reminder that drag is old. It’s so old it’s ridiculous. Drag has been done in theater since the beginning of theater. And sometimes those characters are supposed to be another gender [Peter Pan is usually played by a small adult woman, and Edna Turnblad from Hairspray is famously a woman’s role that’s supposed to be cast with a drag queen]. Sometimes it’s just a part of the show. [Some Like It Hot, where the two male characters are disguised as women to hide from the mob, and one ends the movie with a wealthy man] Drag queens as a trope have always been sassy, world-weary, and absolutely confident in themselves and their ability to attract men. Hell, sometimes the joke is that they’re [deliberately] making a straight male character uncomfortable and we’re supposed to be laughing at the straight male’s discomfort. Law & Order has shown drag queens for decades with asshole detectives referring to them as “ma'am” when they’re in drag even as they’re trying to avoid the sequins.
This rhetoric is frightening because of how quickly the neo-fascist movements in the US have managed to get it to take hold.
