1990. Italy; she/her although I don't mind any pronoun; queer; sommelier of problematic ships; cat worshipper; sludge cryptid & monster lover. Fandom, memes, politics, horror.
Fuck you @ antis, TERFs, queerphobes and white supremacists.
obsessed with ken becoming interested in patriarchy when he thought it was about horses and then losing interest when he found out it was not in fact about horses… ken just wanted to be a horsegirl
“how can a horror movie be comforting” sigh……. u wouldn’t get it
You know what? My disability does hold me back! I'm sick of pretending it doesn't because society only thinks we're worthy if we're actively trying to "overcome" our disabilities or that we "defy the odds". I'm sick of hearing "you can do anything you put your mind to" because that's just not true and is often invalidating of the struggles disabled people face.
I am worthy either way, regardless of whether I can contribute in a way that society deems acceptable or not.
The same applies to you! You are worthy if you can't drive, can't finish school, can't work a conventional job. You are worthy if you can't live on your own without help. You are worthy if you'll need assistance for the rest of your life. You are worthy, always.
“Ian’s suicide is all the more tragic for his feelings being temporary. Those feelings would have changed, they would have matured. And I can say this, because it happened to me. I had many of the same feelings when I was his age, and I still struggle with a lot of the same problems. But one of the things I’ve realized in writing this series is that those feelings are far in the past, belonging to a person I don’t recognize anymore. So, for the sake of everyone out there going through something similar, if you’re having a hard time, stop putting on a brave face for everyone else, and stop suffering because you think you deserve it. If you need help, ask for it— DEMAND it if you have to— even if you think no one is gonna understand. Set aside any romantic ideals you have about the suffering artist, and at least try to make things better. Because in the end, all that really matters is the world you make for the people around you. And that world ends the moment you leave.”

i wasn't exactly expecting to say this, but ryan gosling's ken and allan? best characters of barbie 2023
i love blocking fuckers who cross post worthless patronizing "you don't belong because i say so" horseshit in all the disability punk tags. literally go fuck yourself, be an insular asshole on your own blog and leave the punks to their community BUILDING
stop treating punk MOVEMENTS like fun exclusive clubs you have to qualify for, stop policing your community and kill the fucking fed in your mind, come to the goddamn fucking table with the rest of us so we can actually support each other. we're fighting the same fight, why the fuck do you think that'll be easier alone instead of together.
“no polyamory at pride” is some chronic no bitches shit. that’s got to be made up. no gay person would say that they’d have no fucking friends
crazy that anyone thinks barbie is “anti-man” when it literally depicted the ways society also has a set of rules for men and how they feel empty having their worth be defined by their girlfriends, material goods, and their expression of masculinity — and how boys are victim to falling down an alt-right pipeline trying to get that value back. even when it’s all said and done and ken cries, and barbie tells him it’s okay, he’s embarrassed and says he shouldn’t be — but barbie talks him through how it’s important. where are all of the men’s mental health warriors now?? how is it anti-man when barbie acknowledged the emotional suppression men face at the hands of the patriarchy as well?
Whenever people try to tell me to ship "moral ships" I like to think about how inherently immoral it is to flirt with service workers at coffee shops where they're obliged to be nice to you so... many coffee shop AUs are like. Immoral. But given that they are a fantasy where this is instant romance without the fear of trapping a service worker in an uncomfortable situation that's tantamount to workplace sexual harassment, I enjoy the cutesy coffee shop AUs immensely.
And that's basically my attitude towards all fantasy. There's lots of things I enjoy in fantasy that wouldn't work IRL. Enemies to lovers. Sudden kisses. Miscommunications in relationships. Codependency. Fight sluts who physically assault each other while emotionally connecting.
Once you start ascribing your morals to the fiction you consume, you tend to miss the issues in even the most innocuous, innocent seeming scenarios. It's easy to judge other people's fictional enjoyment until someone points out your innocent coffee shop AU is romanticised workplace harassment.
But it's all fiction. It's a fantasy. That's why it's fine.
A lack of education around things like consent, healthy relationships, self respect and respect of others, bodily autonomy, etc, has made people think they can rely only on fiction to tell them what right - but that's dangerous. And unsustainable.
