everytime someone talks abt how good the representation is in rick riordan's books, i just remember when rick riordan described samirah as a 'normal muslim american teenager' but then wrote her character be in an engagement with her second cousin since she was 12 y/o
additionally bbc will be submitting a petition to ban the entertainment activities of the members who won their lawsuit cases: heejin, kim lip, choerry, and jinsoul
like even if ur somehow not aware of the islamophobic stereotypes at play here, how do you not see anything wrong with a 12 y/o being engaged to a 15 y/o boy who was also her blood relative . . . use your brains for one second, rick riordan didn't do shit for muslim rep
i don't have the video but that one time winwin was reading out loud that letter abt a fan’s breakup and wayv immediately cheering despite the content of the letter all bc he managed to read the entire thing in english 😭
the latest champions was so good! the art and colors were so fun and i'm loving the character dynamics! can't wait to see how the tension btwn riri and viv plays out, i'm really excited for the next issue!!!
#ChampionsCharge
winwin picked haechan as the member he liked the most in nct!! ❤️
he said haechan pulls a lot of pranks on him but he's not annoying. he's cute. ten agreed with it and said "that's the thing about haechan" 🥹
as for like actual writing choices, don’t like when writers mostly focus on the fangirl trait out of all her characteristics. why don’t more ppl realize her idolization of carol was due to internalized racism and she’s pretty much outgrown it after cw2!!!
most stressful part of yellowjackets s1 was watching the entire team barely be concerned over javi’s wellbeing 😭 like why r u letting this 14yo out of ur sight for a single moment while ur all stranded in the wilderness omg ! no wonder he got eaten by a bear probably

hi im literally a brown muslim teen who's been a rr fan for yrs. i hope u dont mind that this is a screenshot bc it was getting too long for twt. i wont be responding further if you still have issues with my criticism. pls excuse any grammar/spelling mistakes & have a nice day :)
sorry i literally can't wrap my head around how stupid this is like they don't even have the numbers for this to be a sustainable business plan? they have ~3mil subs and are averaging 500k views per vid, moving behind a paywall is just gonna further plummet that support like???
my dentist: looks like you're brushing and flossing well, keep up the good work.
me: this is great. i’m going to get a good grade in dentist, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,
on the neg. side, i feel like they struggled with how to incorporate all the exposition they have to do, sometimes it felt v awk. also i feel like gabe doesn't have that same threatening and dangerous aura he has in the book, he feels more comedic and harmless here

i rmbr in 2nd grade i told my friends abt how my uncle was a freedom fighter during 🇧🇩 liberation, and my friend came to me the next day and said that when she asked her 🇵🇰 mom abt a pk-bd war, her mom said that bd never fought w/ pk, but bd actually did go to war w/ INDIA 💀
saw someone saying the other day that jds was probably brought on spiderverse for directing the action and i think that’s plausible . . . only thing that remained consistently good in vld was the animation and action scenes (from what i rmbr)
finally got around to finishing ‘the owl house’ lol, i liked it, it’s smth cute for the kids 💜 think i would have been obsessed with it if it had come out when i was 15
for everything i’ve watched from the filmbro canon so far, i’ve been like “oh i can see why ppl are so obsessed with this” but not for pulp fiction, that shit is overrated as hell omg
just rewatched it the other day, i can never believe ppl always rate it super low, like the entire thing is making fun of pretentious filmbros and also cillian and lucy liu are hilarious and sexy together, idk what more u could want
tbh i do think the actual things jj has done has gotten mixed up in this long game of telephone orbits have been playing, but he’s always going to be on the receiving end of my ire bc of that one time he took yves’s food and made fun of it on ig, like that was v evil idc 🤷♀️
finding out luke castellan was only 21 when he let an immortal titan lord take full possession of his body was so crazy to me. he should’ve been at the club
honestly there's so much good symbolism and details to the lovely choreo to unpack, but i just love the small detail of the light character reaching for the side of the dark character's face while the dark character grabs the light character by the neck . . . tenwin's MINDS
school was giving away free copies of toni morrison's 'beloved' for a banned books event but i miscalculated my schedule and the person in front of me ending up getting the last copy
missed out on my uni's msa gc bashing on saladin's ms marvel run bc i was taking this test 😭 i wish i could've joined in, i too am a hater of that run 😭
ALSO i'm kinda upset that they cut out the scene w/ the 3 fates like u don't understandddd that was luke's string they were cutting and it shows how percy going to chb at that moment in time sealed luke's fate and -
my friend was talking abt how the whole wknd hasn’t felt like eid bc it wasn’t summer yet 😭 i kind of get it . . . probably also has smth to do w/ how everyone’s busy w/ work/school so festivities have lessened a bit over time, unlike yrs ago when eid was during summer vacation
and then you realize the 'good = intellectual, bad = stupid' binary was meaningless & created by the 'good guys' in order to make themselves look better. very neat
mom is watching maja ma and she didn’t realize it was a movie abt a lesbian so now every time smth lgbt gets mentioned im just looking at her like this to gauge her rxn
