I Think I'm Having My Robert Pattinson Stage That I Didn't Have When I Was 10 And I Don't Know How To

#blacklivesmatter Stand as one race. The human race. 🖤🖤🖤

EVEN NICKELODEON WONT STAND FOR RACIST BULLSHIT

“She can’t be gay! She’s obsessed with men!”

The men:

What she says: I'm fine.

What she means: Alina's relationship with Aleksander is heavily framed as something shameful,as a stain on her character and very existence and how people around her are supposed to be doubtful of her because "she almost fucked the bad guy!! she could be corrupted too!!" While her relationship with Malyen serves heavily to the puritan culture with the "pure,chaste love" trope,defying any passion or sexual chemistry because those things are considered shameful in the society. Malyen is viewed as someone who saves her from said corruption and is considered noble for loving her despite her past with Aleksander and the "bad decisions" she made. Aleksander plays such an important role in her growth but we're supposed to hate that because Aleksander is the villain meanwhile Malyen does nothing but hold her back, limiting her development as a person. The only conclusion I can derive here is that if you were associated with someone wrong in the past,who helped you unleash your full potential,it can all go to shit and you're not going to be valued for that because the very reason for your growth is a monster. Your entire arc is going to be villainized because it's associated to the bad guy. The whole concept of moving on and being your own person is demonized because "you did it once and you ended up in the wrong hands. You started becoming your own person and were so dumb, someone almost made a weapon out of you for their own gain" Alina and her past attraction towards Aleksander makes Alina bad and if she still wants him despite his deeds,she's wrong and "oh so corrupted". That's why Alina goes back to being the same underdeveloped protagonist, because hey,even if she had zero character development at the end of the day, atleast she's not with the bad guy,at least she's one of the good ones. Her only mistake was being unaware of Aleksander's plans,it could've been called a "bad decision" if she was fully aware and yet chose to be involved with him. And it's so funny how Baghra ONLY tells Alina the truth about Aleksander before they're about to have sex,when she had multiple opportunities to tell her the truth AND help her train into being stronger. This only simplifies into "silly girl,thank god i told you the truth,you were about to fuck the bad guy but you didn't so you're saved,you're still pure" What does Aleksander and his behaviour have to do with Alina and her character? How long are we going to let the men in our past define how pure or impure we are? Is this the feminist conclusion I'm supposed to derive from this mess? Is this not what slut shaming is? How long are we going to shit on our heroines so they stay Good™?

Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?

THE CHICAGO POLICE HAVE ARRESTED JUSTIN COSBY AND ARE LYING ABOUT HIS LOCATION

Leigh: I'm gonna make a dark edgy universe with ongoing genocide on witches for centuries. It'll be like the Avatar but the elements of the four nations are: Nazi Witch Hunters, Persecution, Prison camps to torture and experiment on witches, and Slavery.

And then, I'm gonna make a character who fights back, creates a safe space for witches, finds a way to make them indispensable to the king, and plans to put an end to the ongoing genocide.

Readers with functional braincells: Is that your hero?

Leigh: Hero? No! Oh God, no!!! Where did you get that impression??? He's the VILLAIN with a capital V!!! Ugh, I guess I'll have to add more nonsensical mustache twirling evil villainous visuals to make it clear. Maybe throw in a black cape and shadow magic into the mix while I'm at it.

Readers still refusing to shut their brain before reading YA: So what do your heroic leaders want?

Leigh: Its really brilliant and subversive actually! Get rich quick hustles for money. Housewife to the first boy to talk to her. And inherit a royal title from his father.

Readers refusing to kill their reading comprehension: So what about the persecuted witches?

Leigh: What about them? Oh...maybe I'll make up magic cocaine that's highly addictive to the witches and overworks them to death to speed up the genocide now that the horrible evil villain advocating for them is dead and modern technology renders grisha useless anyway. No point in letting them just live am I right? xoxo grimdark edgelord girl

I get the weirdest Deckerstar parallels in my head sometimes: Now, on Talk Like A Pirate Day, it’s Kermit as Captain Smollet for Chloe and Lucifer as Miss Piggy in Muppet Treasure Island. What is up with my brain?

If I have an A level in a foreign language, do I need to go to language school as an AU pair?
