@dragonfudge
I thought ppl were exaggerating when they said it was one punch and she tapped out, NO WAY SHE ACTUALLY TAPPED OUT AFTER ONLY ONE PUNCH THAT DIDNT EVEN LOOK THAT HARD OF A HIT 😭😭
@wildtiktokss
Me, bc as a preteen my mental issues were ignored by my parents due to them “not being too serious” so ever since then I would fantasize abt the most pain-inducing scenarios so they can *finally* pay some dam attention to my well-being.
@mcrscookies
They’re making her REAL LIFE a fantasy so that it’s digestible for ppl who don’t wanna acknowledge that tragedy ever happened. I hate how ppl choose to warp the image of historical figures to fit their narrative/erase what actually happened.
@dollshojo
Rainbow capitalism is shallow and disgusting, BUT it was always a good indicator on how accepting the general public was. It shrinking is probably a bad thing more than a good thing 😬
@Overseer_Vee
I did this by accident, I mentioned Alucard in Castlevania and I explained that he’s implied to be bisexual and then next thing I know my friends are watching, one saying “there’s a beautiful bisexual twink and you expected me NOT to watch it?!?!”
@aloovibes
My heart aches for baby me that loved my parents despite them hurting me, & for middle school me that felt so ashamed & guilty abt the fact that I didn’t love my parents anymore.
@aevris_
Nah fr I saw ppl go “it’s cus climate change” & it’s like no I was a 12-year-old who deadass thought was gonna be dead by 16 & when that didn’t happen I went “shit, what happens now” 😭😭 & even now at 18 still slipping into suicidal episodes, idfk what my 20s is gonna look like.
@deviouslez
As an aspiring author, I used to see SO many authors talk abt how it took years to get published from getting an agent to getting a publishing house to signing deals, etc. etc… and then this shit occurs 💀
@Flak0ps
I loved the complexity of Ming, honestly. As an audience, we could see where her reasoning was coming from & when she took it too far. She felt like a real person, & I appreciated that for a parent, especially in regard to being imperfect & strict but not abusive.
@dreddlightfull
Heavy on the politics part—polyamory as an identity & relationship structure defies many Christo-centric nuclear family ideals the West clutches onto. Ntm how it deconstructs the notion of your romantic partner being your exclusive property, which makes monogamists uncomfy.
@trinityy777
The amount of privilege someone has to have to deny the validity of self diagnosis. To not understand why someone may not be able to get a formal one.
@ind1estar2
Luz literally had a lesbian girlfriend like…? It DOES include positivity & representation for lesbians. There’s many writing issues in the Owl House, but Luz’s bisexuality is NOT one of them (none of the characters’ sexualities are an issue)
@emberiislands
This didn’t click to me the first time (mainly cus I just don’t see any label for Toph 😭) I saw that tweet but now that you said it, I 100% see what you’re saying 😬 Definitely noticed the pattern of hc’ing disabled characters as aroace in other fandoms, too.
@DILFZONE
I’m blocking anyone who tries acting all “holier than thou” & try to act like anyone’s in the wrong for making jokes- like yes! I DO think it’s morally ok to joke abt the assasination attempt of a fascist that wants to make America his dictatorship.
@nolongerflan
As an autistic person who kins Ranpo bc of his autistic traits (ESPECIALLY when he felt like a loner for not understanding everyone around him), he’s autistic 100%, cus I DO make the rules and I say so
@SIXMARBLES_
PPL ARE SAYING IT WRONG???? EVEN THO HER NAME HAS BEEN SAID MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE SHOW??? W H A T ????
This is another Encanto situation where they mispronounce the names I see.
@WolfyNotWitch
I try to go “I’m gonna join the mothman” bc in my head “joining mothman” can become parallel with “getting a better life [in the woods with mothman]” so I learn that I don’t wanna kms, I want a better life. It’s also absurd sounding so 😭
@snailuka__
“You would support it if Kyouka was a boy” well no bc she’d still be 14 while Atsushi is 18. If you want a girlie to ship Atsushi with, Atsulucy is *literally* right there as a ship.
@ryoffith
The way the initial tweet is worded I thought the same thing but then it turns out this is this person’s attempt of defending herself from ppl that rightfully called her out on her insinuating that lesbians can’t have friendships with girls.
@CrocodileCam
There’s an incredible amount of men in the comments actually agreeing & saying how they’ll immediately back out if their partner changes their mind & ik it’s the barest minimum but it’s l so relieving bc I was lowkey scared it’d be a buncha rapists disagreeing like it usually is.
@milesandshi
I’m so mad that they’re sexualized bc I see men walking around shirtless in public with no problems. And I just. Yearn for such FREEDOM- especially since where I live is hot as fuck.
@PerseusJackssn
“Percy’s love for blue food isn’t just a silly quirk, he and his mom developed that as a way of being rebellious towards an abusive step-dad/husband in a small but impactful way.”
@aWildSalem
I think what scares me abt it is it’s reflection that society is starting to be more intolerant towards queer folks.
Like rainbow capitalism, as shallow as it is, at least indicated that queerness was accepted enough to be profitable.
@fifartsss
@spionglist
My favorite thing to do is call artists like that boring. And it’s true, because if your art is just regurgitated with the same body types, facial features, etc. then your art is very much boring.
@hesbianbigby
Ppl forget the United States itself is colonized indigenous land with lots of varying ppl of color & queer ppl suffering under the United States government 😭
@LESBOBLIGHT
anyone saying “bUt PpL dO tHAt wITh sTrAIgHt CHaRaCTeRs” the difference is that straight people are well-represented in media and have been forever. Queer ppl haven’t. And lesbians deal with homophobia PLUS the misogyny of the idea that a woman “isn’t complete w/o a man.”
@Cannibalicedoll
No bc idc, that type of emotional scarring is gonna take more than a band-aid “I’m sorry & quit being a cop” to heal. Also he acted so goddam entitled & annoyed of her bitterness when she came back home like bro!! You pointed a gun to your daughter!! She deserves to give sass!!
@im_bird37
@wildtiktokss
Ummmm minimization of mental health crises unless it’s someone abt to harm themselves ummmm usually the first experience with that would be with dismissive parents ummmm yeah.
@mitzifabelmans
I think they assume lesbians (+ most sapphics) operate as straight men do. Which is kinda sad & incredibly shitty for queer women bc all it does is perpetuate the stigma & predatory stereotypes.
@epistemophagy
Genuinely all of this—I wasn’t a fan of Gaiman (never read his work) but as someone who writes & therefore would hear a lot abt him from his advocacy to his storytelling talent, I respected him. Until he turned out to be a Zionist. & then with these recent allegations. (1)
@booboobuddies
The other day I fought someone bc I said that Alador’s redemption arc sucked.
But like man didn’t even apologize to the twins, and yet he somehow got a Pat on the back.
Meanwhile it took Camila forever to stop getting the hate that she DID NOT deserve.
@Kuzcofan
It’s meant to be symbolic, that’s the point. A juxtaposition from the long hair she had beforehand—it was a narrative choice.
Besides, you can’t expect a dying man to be able to cut her hair all perfect like a barber 💀
@slizagna
Sure cultural influence may play a role but at the end of the day if you want to get a tattoo but feel you can’t, that’s something you needa unpack & usually it leads back to parental fearmongering. & you’d be quite miserable if you don’t unpack that as early as you can.
@Goukizeme_ssb
@MOLENAIDE
Queer-coded is kinda just implementing elements of queerness when you’re working with a studio that won’t greenlight queer characters. Like the two policemen from Gravity Falls.
It can also be used to associate queerness with evil—think of Disney villains like Hades & Scar.
@Alexkhdotcom
Same—I saw ppl going “don’t call Chappell Roan by her first name!” & I thought they meant don’t call her ONLY “Chappell” to which I was like “chill to not want to be on a first name basis with fans & want full name” & then like yesterday I learned she had a diff name entirely 😭
@cursedbythegods
I read PJO and I was able to consume the books quickly. I had to push through the first chapter of HP so I can see if it got better… and I don’t remember anything from that series except major plot points towards the end💀
@zayaway
Oh shit- I haven’t watched the show yet (it JUST got on D+ and I needa wait for the weekend 😭) but I’ve been seeing this around w/o context and omg that’s horrible why are ppl using this as a ship moment 💀
@freakenomenon
ITS SO ANNOYING cus the romanticization of abusive dynamics made it that any portrayal of those dynamics gets hit with weariness even tho there’s a difference between glorification & having a legitimate discussion and commentary of a taboo topic by exploring it through art.
@hatersbian
Currently getting flashbacks to “all rectangles are squares but not all squares are rectangles” from 3rd grade. BUT YES TELL THEM LIKE IT IS
@tangsanzangz
I think the biggest indication that Hobie is their age is the fact that Pavitr was insinuating a thing between Gwen & Hobie tbh. Bc like it’d be WEIRD for him to do that (& likewise Hobie not shooting that down) if Hobie was an adult.
@wrecklessnthg
@transfemcrona
Claim we’re in a “straight-passing relationship” just bc it’s a m/f relationship.
It’s not straight-passing, you’re being heteronormative & as a result biphobic by erasing bisexual identities + other forms of bigotry to other m-spec idebtities by erasing OTHER m-spec identities.
@XiranJayZhao
Absolutely baffling to treat modern Chinese fantasy books as a monolith, as if your two different Chinese historical fantasy books (Iron Widow + Zachary Ying) aren’t two DIFFERENT experiences despite being written by the same person!!
@Caldroids
The “you’re not sexually mature enough. Come back in a few years” is SO ironic. Like hello??? Why would you sexualize a kid then?? If they’re not sexually mature enough???
@6arbiedoll
I legit thought it was funny while also feeling bad for her & then I see ppl seeming genuinely upset over consequences of her actions that have no effect on them 😭
@clovariia
Adding onto the fact that Amphibia’s theme is past/lost friendships: The Owl House is the exact OPPOSITE of that and is a homage to finding those who understand you and finding community where you least expected. Splitting the realms would be a disservice to such a theme.
@Sbartdump
No seriouslt and it confuses me how Collector was like “I thought you said this would teach them to see the error of their ways!” LIKE WHAT? HOW IS KING BEING THE LAST OF HIS SPECIES AND FEARING DEATH BC OF THAT AN ERROR OF HIS WAYS 😭😭
@tylerannosorus
@bunnkies
NO FR LIKE WITH HER THERAPIST SHE WAS LITERALLY LIKE “unfortunately it was just attempted, didn’t actually succeed.” And I just—
@justnjust
Yeah no shit?? Gender is a construct, unrelated to sex, & that is prevalent in a lot of different societies throughout the our history prior to colonization.
@lettersfromjuno
The fear of “being alone” forever would so quickly diminish if ppl started putting friendships on the same level of value that they (have been conditioned to) place romantic partnership on.
@starxeebs
It’s insane, bc canonically the reason he has a B is bc he’s skipping some of his classes, Ntm a reason that any Latino Spanish-speaker knows is that they teach European Spanish, not LatAm Spanish (which also differs per region) in school. Like that B isn’t bc he’s not fluent.
@shaTIRED
Ngl I’m wondering if my “empathy” was actually my ppl pleaser tendencies & trauma survival instincts analyzing ppl’s emotions and responding a specific way emotionally since I grew up in an environment where in order to survive I had to chameleon my way through ppl’s emotions 🙃
@VictorianAnthy
I feel like ppl forget that there are certain levels of appropriateness for each age when it comes to learning abt sexual abuse. HH is an ADULT show—evident by its content. Sexual abuse lessons catered towards kids should be dealt with more carefully.
@sanktjosten
I get it, trope preference exists but bro, the point of the book is the PLOT & THEMES, & tropes are just there to add substance w/ a workable formula to incorporate to merely ADD more to a plot that should already stand on its own (as opposed to be all there is to it)
@LivTheKirby
OMG FR- ppl take asexuality, specifically, as abstaining from sex & both aromanticism & asexuality as like you said “not being ready yet” which is just infantilizing.
& then when you hit an age where that “excuse” of theirs doesn’t work??? Suddenly you’re deemed as broken.
@mayaisfiya
I feel this for my friends so so dearly, it makes me believe in love that I can love them as much as I do 😭 I wish I wasn’t so bad at verbal affection as a love language bc the way I’d be telling them how much I love them all day every day if I could
