I Straight Up Squealed We Are WINNING

god damn i knew clace was good (best tsc couple i said what i said) but i forgot how GOOD the bickering and tension was fuck me

if they don't stop showing me that little purple ballsack i'm breaking my tv

in case anyone was wondering this is all i hear when belial is brought up

god cassie is really fucking destroying me with james' internal monologues

every single belial mention makes me think of that tiktok trend where people show insane pictures of their pets

Why are we the same person??

Literally the same bio too-

city of ashes doesn't have a bad track

the clace content???

YES.

let's be honest all belial needed was a good pegging to chill his ass out

i think one of the biggest damages to fandom spaces that social media (and the sort of instant gratification that it spawned) is that nuance is dying.

every fandom i enter (some to a worse degree than others i will admit) is just teeming with bad takes with no nuance. you can't acknowledge a good part of a character without being attacked for supporting someone who's done abc and suddenly being labeled an xyz apologist.

this leads to these dynamic and interesting characters being viewed only through a binary of right and wrong, which destroys the very things that make them feel real and human.

everyone is racing to be morally right in an age where awareness of social injustice is rising and as a result they're either forcing issues that aren't there to criticize a character or ripping them to shreds just to feel morally superior. in doing so not only are they ruining the stories and characters, but they're making these real world issues come off as frivolous and unimportant, when there are actual bodies of work that properly and intentionally explore them.

cassie's masterful ability to depict violations of consent in so many different ways across all genders without being egregious or harmful isn't discussed enough
