Voters In Both England And France Just Used Tactical Voting, And Voted For Candidates They Didn’t Necessarily

There is no way. no way ashlyn ACTUALLY wrote call it what you want for taylor and chad. she prob convinced herself she was but was channeling her feelings for maddox and what she wanted in THEIR relationship.

It truly means so much to me the way the white characters in The Acolyte aren't main characters, or if they do have a bigger role they are non-human characters like Jecki and Master Vernestra. Like for once it's not on sight that I clock tokenism or dehumanized BIPOC characters. For once in Star Wars I'm seeing a reversed ratio of white to non white. For so long it's been 4 white for every 1 non white character. I want to go back in time and tell the 8 year old me that our time is coming.

I am completely obsessed with boygenius both as a group and as individuals, and I am never going to stop being obsessed with them

I am going to say something that might piss people on this site off, and that is that the stabbing at a Taylor Swift themed event in Southport does not exist in a vacuum.

It exists in a world where a joke about bringing a nail gun to the Eras tour to shoot fans gets 400k likes on TikTok, or where a reel about crashing a plane full of Swifties gets 200k likes on Instagram. It exists in a world where, on this very website, the one that promotes itself as rational and reasonable, someone says that "Taylor Swift and her fans should all die violent horrible deaths" and people applauded it. It exists in a world where, during TTPD release week men were in Swifties' comment sections declaring they would beat their daughters and girlfriends if they ever so much as listened to one of her albums. And it exists in a world where this week, fans of a TV show (which I will not name because that is not the point) sent death threats to a girl on Twitter for daring to be a fan of both their beloved show and Taylor Swift.

I don't give a fuck what your opinion of Taylor Swift is. I don't care if you think her music is grating, I don't care if you think she is the worst thing to happen to humanity since Eve ate the god damn apple. This is the dark side of stan culture that no-one talks about; where dislike of an artist becomes so obsessive that it becomes normal, even funny, to joke about killing their fans, because "it's just online, it's just a joke". It isn't. It is rarely ever "just online".

And yes I am going to be That Person and say that you can complain about Swift's brand of feminism and debate her position as a feminist icon all day long, at the end of the day, her name is still synonymous with girls. It doesn't take a genius to work out who this event was geared at.

I am not going to sit and claim that by simply not liking Taylor Swift you directly caused this. I would encourage you to step back, look at the bigger picture of stan culture, including obsessive dislike of an artist, and ask yourself how much this culture has enabled this. If making jokes on tiktok about killing someone over a pop star is normalised, how much of a leap is it to attacking kids with a knife at a fan event?

and of course there is the fact that the british media didn't even wait until those kids were buried before using this event to spread their racist, anti-immigrant agenda despite the race of the attacker not being known. all I can say to that is I am sickened and disappointed but not shocked.

Lili’s story is so tragic if you think about it too much. She was a previous Airk, a girl who was kidnapped and indoctrinated. A troubled girl sure, a girl who felt trapped and dissatisfied, things the Order of the Wyrm likely fed on the way she in turn tries to use Airk’s insecurities and grudges against him. But unlike Airk, who’s loved ones found and saved him, hers never found her. They wandered the Shattered Sea until they went mad, but they never reached the edge, never found the Immemorial City. She was lost. The girl who dreamed of freedom forever trapped, playing out someone else’s grand scheme, continuing the cycle she herself was a victim of

when you're just chilling and then suddenly you have a thought that you can't get out of your head no matter how hard you try

and then you can't go to sleep because you keep thinking about it, even though you don't want to, and then you think "I hate my brain" and then you realize that your brain is what lets you think that and then you realize it's just a cycle. fun.

Did anyone else sometimes hear Airk's, Kit's, and Jade's names being said as Eric, Kate, and Jane (respectively)? Like, I didn't think those were actually their names but sometimes I was confused when I heard their names spoken. However, I didn't know Airk's name wasn't Eric until I went to tumblr. I guess his is just pronounced the same way?

Every few moments, I remember that madlyn is actually canon, and I feel like i'm floating and everything is amazing. and then I soon remember that hsmtmts is over and I spiral into completely overthinking everything that has ever happened to me
