Hey. Do You Guys Ever Think About This.

and you keep reblogging me. instigation goes both ways.

i said, "let's have a discussion", in good faith.

you asked a question. i answered, in good faith.

then you miscontrued and misinterpreted what i said to make it seem like i agree with you, which i fucking don't. you broke the fucking good faith, and here i was thinking that maybe this might turn into something fruitful. just save me the trouble and tell me from the start that you are a fucking brat who can't take no for a fucking answer ever.

first of all, this post has never been about "ending the circle of violence" or whatever the fuck that shit show of an ending was trying to say. it's an irrelevant point to make that came out of nowhere. do you have a habit of stringing along every thought you have in your head and try to make it fit your narrative or did you never get the chance to learn critical thinking?

secondly, you are assuming that if i'm critical of the show i can't ever agree on any of its message. you assume that just because i don't agree with certain character arcs it means i have to be disagreeable to every single fucking thing said in the show. so basically i can't like something and be critical of it at the same time? so media literacy is dead now? say that again three times in your head, do you not find it fucking ridiculous?

and now, at this point of the conversation, you decide to throw in the "nuanced character" argument and accuse me of being performative, while this fucking conversation has never been about characters to begin with?

and whether or not i agree with how the show ends doesn't invalidate any of the things i just said, and if you can't grow a fucking brain cell big enough to comprehend that, then we're done here.

It is WILD that you say “selling drugs and engaging in gang turf war does not make you not a citizen” as if that changes the fact that they’re still CRIMES.

I mean, if your logic is that Zaun is technically part of Piltover and thus falls under Piltover’s jurisdiction… committing a CRIME under their jurisdiction means you can suffer consequences from your actions. No? It doesn’t MATTER if you’re a citizen or not. Being a citizen doesn’t give you free rein to do whatever you want! You have to obey laws!

If I’m a citizen of a city in America, and I do a crime, the police of that city are allowed to take away my rights as a citizen. That’s what being a citizen in a functional society MEANS!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU WEIRD ASS MOTHER FUCKERS????

It took a lot for me to mature enough to accept a lot of the time you just don’t get closure like ill never understand why certain things happened or ever receive an apology or talk to certain people again or know the answers to questions I can’t ask and people die or leave or drift away sometimes and there’s no answer. and this is actually starting to sound like some doomer shit but im not joking when i say it actually became way easier to move on with my life when I accepted sometimes things will just be left wrong and can’t be made right and there’s no point in wasting any more of my time on it

Come find me, I’m here.

Tony Stark: don't hug me parker we're not there

Tony Stark: *creates a suit for Peter Parker with over 500 web settings*

Tony Stark: *puts a tracker and recording devices into the suit so he can ensure Peter is safe constantly*

Tony Stark: *has requested updates on Peters life so he knows that Peter quit marching band six weeks ago*

Tony Stark: *listens to all the voice messages Peter leaves for Happy to the point that he knows Peter got a churro from a Dominican woman for giving her directions*

Tony Stark: *talks about his own father being distant and how he's trying to end the cycle when talking to Peter*

Tony Stark:

exactly.

it’s been so very frustrating trying to reason with some caitvi stans that when i criticize some writing choices in season 2, i don’t hate the ship and/or the characters i criticize, i’m just disappointed that the show prioritized getting them together at the expense of individual character developments.

and somehow by doing that, i got accused of being lesbophobic (and somehow racist because caitlyn is half-asian 💀), even though i am a bisexual asian woman myself - if anything, caitlyn IS the closest thing to representation i get from arcane and i’m just supposed to be grateful for that abysmal character assassination or whatever caitlyn’s arc in season 2 is supposed to be called. these people take every bit of well-meaning well-deserved objective criticism as a personal attack and project that hostile energy towards any discourse regarding caitlyn and/or vi and/or caitvi. i’m not saying they can’t enjoy girls kissing girls on their tv screen everytime it happens, i’m just saying better representations can be and have been done before, so why do we settle for less?

that particular flavour of caitvi stans screeching at critics of S2 about how, "you just wanted a simplistic happy ending! you can't handle the NUANCE! you have no MEDIA LITERACY!" while simultaneously insisting that we should all unquestioningly accept and praise arcane for giving us caitvi, which they hold up as the sine qua non of wlw representation, because their primary basis for comparison is... legend of korra. is she-ra. is owl house. is steven universe.

none of this is shade on those shows. all of these are okay-to-good-to-great shows, that did genuinely brave things with regard to representation and which often handled mature subject matters in age-appropriate ways. you know what they also are?

children's cartoons. they are cartoons for children.

sorry, when shows like black sails and andor exist, which have prominent wlw characters/ships, and which embed those ships in actually well-written, complex, adult narratives about freedom, oppression, rebellion, and self-determination, arcane doing a, "diversity win! your cops are lesbians!" is not enough for me to give it brownie points.
