Humour, fandom, social activism ~ abbyisshabby on twitter ~ she/they |
fandom hcs are like:
-shy anxious person is ace
-badass but nice girl is bi
-mean bitch is a lesbian
-bubbly extrovert girl is pan
-all men are gay (unless they’re flirty in which case they’re bi)
everyone in the notes is so god damn stupid this is a criticism of bi/lesbo/aphobic fandom culture you shouldn’t be AGREEING with the stereotypes
I made a graph

that whole fantasy trope of werewolves and vampires hating each other pisses me off every time. it’s like lgbt exclusionism you feel me. like I bet the real ones think it’s dumb. they’re out there going guys we’re all children of the night. in their eyes we’re ALL unholy abominations. bet there’s posts on darkcreatures.net like vampires and werewolves are actually kissing on the lips rn
If Vampires and Werewolves got beef why did Dracula give the local wolves a sick-ass name like “The Children of the Night” and compliment their howling

many problems are caused by the mindset that the world is divided into good people and bad people and the bad people can be “found out” and removed, eventually leading to a utopia containing only good people.

Aging tumblr user base find this relatable?
stop making aziraphale a good student in your human aus just because he loves books like NO! aziraphale cheated on his ONLY assignment (in which the assigner was literal heaven) by making it a group project with a demon, because he wanted to spend more time doing things he enjoyed!
teachers would HATE him because he’d be reading his own book under the desk instead of paying attention in class, his report cards were full of “aziraphale is smart but needs to apply himself more”, he’d fail all his exams because he wanted to read jane austen’s entire collection the night before instead of studying

it’s okay to have clumsy and awkward sex and it’s actually really common
the ability to laugh while you’re lying tangled and naked together bc you realize just how silly something is is really really intimate and trusting, and it’s the best feeling to be like that with someone and to be relaxed
it happens with long-term partners, it happens on hookups, and it’s rarely as bad as it’s always made out to be, except we usually think it’s bad we're told that’s not how sex is supposed to go. but that’s not true.
it can still be passionate and intimate while being messy and clumsy, absolutely. you don’t need to “perform well.” sex isn’t a show: it’s about feeling good. sometimes it takes experimenting to figure out what feels good, and fumbles and awkward moments and laughter is all just part of it. sometimes that’s a huge part of the fun.

The Jesus/Judas Complex
The only Good Jews are the Jews who are self-sacrificing, who will go willingly to their deaths for the salvation of others. The Good Jew, who will willingly undergo torments unto death, is the only Good Jew.
The Good Jew will absolve their murderers. The Good Jew will ‘turn the other cheek’. The Good Jew will write “I still believe that people are good at heart” when being persecuted. The Good Jew will lay down and die for the comfort and education of others.
But for all other Jews who fail to attain such lofty standards?
They are betrayers, corruptors, colonizers, genociders, child murderers, blood drinkers. Capitalists and communists. Sexually depraved and yet sexless, where even the Jewish men are emasculated. They are White, yet also still Other. They are rootless cosmopolitans, from nowhere, yet told to go back where they came from. Their mere presence is a taint, and yet they hide among the disciples of the Good Jew, waiting for their chance to betray and sell out.
The only Good Jew is a Dead Jew who goes willingly to die, on the cross of the Romans or from the knives and guns of terrorists. All other Jews, who refuse to lay down and die, who dare to say “Am Yisrael Chai”, that the Children of Yisrael Live, are therefore innately evil and irredeemable, and must be shunned for daring to cling to life.
There’s a subset of this entire behavior worth calling attention to, which was summed up by Albert Einstein a century ago.
If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.
The Good Jews–the Jesuses, the Anne Franks, the Einsteins, and others–have their Jewishness erased in order to universalize them; they are no longer Jews, but they are “citizens of the world” who no longer belong to the Jews in the public consciousness.
But the Bad Jews? Oh, those can never be divorced from their Jewishness. Being a Jew is inherent to their wickedness. Bernie Madoff, Jeffery Epstein, Benjamin Netanyahu… oh, there is no question that to the rest of the world, they are always to be considered as “Jews” first and foremost.
Tying this all together is the the fact that, deep in the subconscious of non-Jews, sits the belief that Jews can have nothing of their own that belongs unquestionably to Jews. This belief holds that anything Jews have or create or develop actually belongs to the Christians and Muslims who are their “successors,” and to the rest of the world, as if what Jews produce is somehow owed to them by dint of creation, that everything Jews make is automatically universalized.
Jews cannot have their own religious texts. Those belong to the Christians and Muslims… after being edited appropriately, of course, but they are not Jewish texts in their own rights. No, Jewish religious texts are seen as a positive because they “offer independent non-Christian/Muslim verification of the legitimacy of the Old Testament/Koran”, not because they’re the holy texts of a small people who have preserved them.
Jews cannot have their own history. Those belong to the Christians and Muslims, who say that the Jewish history actually belongs to them, that everything from historical figures to stories to archeology regarding Jews cannot actually belong to the Jews themselves.
Jews cannot have their own prosperity. The wealth and ideas and peace and growth actually belong to everyone else around them, from whom the Jews “stole” it.
Jews cannot have their own tragedies. Those, foremost among them the Holocaust, belong to the world, as moral lessons and warnings against dangers to actual people, as opposed to Jews, who are expected to shoulder the burdens and pain without complaint.
Jews cannot have their own outstanding members. Those are citizens of the world, meant to inspire and uplift everyone else.
Jews cannot have their own homes. There is nowhere we can live without being told we don’t belong there and that it belongs to someone else.
In the end, we are told, Jews cannot have their own lives. Merely existing as a Jew needs to be justified on what we give to the rest of you.
And we are sick and tired of justifying our existence to those who could not care less about us as people, even as they reap the benefits of what we have added to the world.
