@iwantaferret_
So I watched Descendants: Wicked Wonderland (it’s pretty solid) so now I’m on Zombies 4 and none of you told me Eliza wears a “Zombies Lives Matter” fist on her t-shirt
Disney is…It’s just funny because they’re kind of actively playing into the allegory which means Allison and Zed just like solved racism multiple times and I’ll never get over that
I tagged a trending tag on a Tumblr post and now I’m freaking out help
@iwantaferret_ oof, personally I like notifications, but if it’s like constantly or not on silent I understand that it’s annoying
@CrowTalonda1st it’s mostly just notifs of people liking the post but I don’t like notifications
I’M SO UPSET
I was reading a Klance omegaverse comic on YouTube and then it just ENDED AT THE MOST CRITICAL PART IM HEATEDDDDD LIKE WTH
The artist lost interest in the fandom which I understand but that ending was CRIMINAL
@iwantaferret_ we need to STOP with male, rich, and white privileges. I don't understand how we got to the point this point bc it’s not okay for people to have such advantages. I have been fortunate to not be discriminated against, though my heart goes out to those who have.
I’m also a little upset (now) at a post I saw on YouTube about how law enforcement related deaths are rising as if law enforcement having been killing Black and brown people for centuries but…okay.
Being Black in the US is…an interesting experience, especially now. It’s really weird watching white people declare things Black women have been talking about—warning about—for decades.
I have a soft spot for what I call “mindless television”—MTV, if ya nasty—if you didn’t know this already. I like shows and movies that make me think deeper, books that can’t stop me from writing in the margins. But every now and then, I can’t help from watching clips from Love Island Season 7 and absolutely fuming that the internet adores Huda.
Anyway, one of these MTV shows I watch is The Boys—or, watched. The season finale came out a bit ago, and I just got around to watching it today because…I was bored and needed and needed an angst break (from Critical Role Campaign 3 Episode 96).
Anyway, it made me actually lock in to how misogynistic this whole series really is, or at least can be considered. Before, it seemed more typical, you know—we’re actively making fun of a male power fantasy, both in-universe and as viewers. But what pissed me off is the ending.
See, in the end—and I’m only saying this because I trust none of you will watch this—Annie (Starlight) gets pregnant. This is a yay. And Hughie—future father—caresses her belly and says “Take care of your mom, Robin.” And I’m thinking, and you’re thinking, “Huh? Robin? Who is Robin?”
His ex-girlfriend. From the beginning of the series. He named his baby, the one in his girlfriend’s uterus, after his dead ex-girlfriend.
I’m immediately livid.
That’s so disrespectful, and I’m not apologizing for that. You don’t do that. It’s fine to love someone you lost, especially a partner, but you DON’T name your child after them while their other parent is still alive. That’s crazy.
And I hate that it makes perfect sense for Hughie’s character. He’s a “nice guy”, kind of guy. But that pisses me off. And I hate that Annie accepted it, and that it makes sense for her to accept it.
I hate this show. I hate this show so much. I’m so glad it’s over. I can’t wait for The Pitt to come back on.
Growing up is realizing I might have to delete this app in order to get a job which is…hilarious, in a sad way
Media background checks can go DEEP which means an employer can absolutely find me from a comment section. HOWEVER, if I don’t offer them my user handle on ANY of the sites I’m on, can they still find me?
I’m iwantaferret_ on at least two sites, including this one, and the others only contain my first name, and when I look myself up, I don’t show up—so I’m curious. I might be hard to find if you don’t know what what I look like
Anyway, I guess it’s possible that a future employer could find the argument I got into with a libertarian that one time idk
@iwantaferret_ that's very valid. They talked about social media in my education studies class where I was in a local middle school observing and assisting, and the most they got into it was "the kids will probably try and look you up. If you don't want that, just make it private." My stuff is all private or unconnected to me so I'm not concerned. It does suck that its even a consideration though
@watch_what_happens that makes sense actually. I’m probably not going to go into a field where my social media is needed anyway so this message was more of the result of me not sleeping very well one night:/
I've had two jobs in my life, as well as 3 seperate background checks for unpaid poitions where I'm working with kids in school for college, and I've never had an employer ask me about any of my social media handles, and none of the background tests have ever included anything social media related of any sort. Not saying it can't or won't be done, but if it isn't tied to your real name or being promoted on other accounts, I'd say you're pretty safe.
I’ve been having trouble feeling rested lately, and I’ve been wandering why. As I’m writing, I’m actually waiting for Uber to come for me after pulling an all-nighter
And don’t get me wrong, I’ve got a lot on my mind and going on. But the reason I haven’t been sleeping is because I’ve been watching Critical Role campaigns. Roughly a video and a half a day.
Just by the way, the average episode amidst four campaigns runs at around four hours. These guys have over 1500+ hours of footage just between those four campaigns. It’s probably about 2000+ containing all their content.
So…this is a reminder to get off your phone? Eat some grass?
God I can’t even spell the right “wondering.” I’m just gonna nap until the next season of Vox Machina comes out. Or The Pitt.
Hey! So I have some sad news.
According to Reuters, the US Supreme Court “clears way for transgender sports bans.” What does this mean? Well, it means that, specifically in West Virginia and Idaho, trans people are not permitted to play sports according to their preferred gender. In fact, they can be actively discriminated against and prohibited from doing so. As far as I know, this isn’t a sweeping federal law, but if a state decides to prohibit trans people from participating in women’s sports, the Supreme Court is backing that with support UNANIMOUSLY. The decision was 9-0, which means every judge, democrat and republican, voted in favor of discrimination against transgender people.
I know most of you can’t vote yet, but I know you’re still expressing yourself in the best way you can; that’s apart of growing up. What I ask is that you wear your heart on your sleeve, that you advocate for people with your voice even if you can’t with your vote. It’s important to stand up for people that have to stand carefully.
For the trans people on here, I’m so sorry. I know what it’s like to feel like your very existence is constantly in danger. But continue to be proud of who you are, in spite of the dangers. Celebrate yourself, celebrate others, and hold pride close.
This is a really shitty way to end pride month, but it’s important to remember that pride started as a protest. Continue to be unapologetically queer.
I love you all:) Protect the dolls!
@iwantaferret_ I hate how we have conformed ourselves to a fel- ruler who has no power in the first place. We’ve been warned for DECADES that giving a leader so much power is a TERRIBLE decision. For our prosperity’s and our sakes, I hope this message touched hearts like it did mine.
@iwantaferret_ BOO BOO TO THE SUPREME COURT gods above… land of the free my ARSE. I don’t understand people who can hate a groups existence because they are different, it’s people like them that make queer youth consider and act upon the thought of SH and suicide. It’s people like them who make me sick. Despicable behavior really.
Alright I can’t seem to get a message out for this movie I watched so
The movie was “Fire & Ice” (1983). I kind of like it because of the animation (rotoscope!!!) but it’s very misogynistic, incredibly racist, and the script writing was terrible. The character I liked the most was Darkwolf. And for that reason, I give it…a 2/5.
It’s a terrible movie because it has a terrible foundation. I don’t know what the deal is with Ralph Bakshi, but the only reason the movie isn’t rated lower is because compared to “Pets” (1973), Fire & Ice is good. The bar is in Hell.
Guys I just found a Google Drive with the ENTIRETY of Voltron Legendary Defender I mean EVERY EPISODE
I feel like a kid on Christmas omg my childhood has returned
What’s up guys I just watched the Heartstopper movie trailer and I wanna cry
@iwantaferret_ i think that’s the reason we need representation, its a beautiful realization that “hey! Im not weird for liking the same gender as me!”
@CrowTalonda1st same I was never got into the fandom but I used to read the comic on Webtoon and then I watched the show when it came out. It was just nice to see rep that wasn’t so much focused on queer characters suffering, especially when I was like 14. It made a lot of the experiences I had (like taking Am I Gay quizzes in the throes of night) seem normal and less like I was alone in figuring out who I was.
@iwantaferret_ oh that’s good! I never got onto the Heartstopper train but I am super glad that LGBTQ+ repersentation is being mainstream, (I have seen the series though so I’m not trying to be perpousfully against the flow)
