Cosmo is my favourite character. He's sweet, caring, oblivious to jokes, a little too nervous for his own good, and very self-sacrificial (why does nobody talk about this part?) Since I'm one of the rare cosmo fans who like him for who he is-or just rare cosmo fan period since they don't exist unless they like fruitcake...- I DESPISE mischaracterization of him, especially by people who don't even like him that much. People (not even cosmo fans) get enraged when Cosmo is even REMOTELY feminine... despite him obviously being a feminine guy in cannon. No, it's not making him an uwu femboy to draw him with his literally cannon cute asf stockings. It's okay for him to be a Twink... Anyways, not everybody overreacts like that but some people who hate it try to be different by going the complete opposite, even if it means changing his entire fucking character. YOU ARE STILL MISCHARACTERIZING COSMO. I see him turned into a very masculine, confident, snarly guy and people go "Wow! finally an accurate Cosmo!)
... DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO COSMO IS?? Like I'm fine with OOC but own up to it. And if suddenly the fandom can handle OOC, then we all need to give Junepa0 a huge apology.
Oh right and side note, people who like top Cosmo always feel the need to completely change his personality and make him taller, like... just make an oc at this point. You don't need to change his character to make him a 'top', at that point, just don't.
THIS OH MY GOD (ignoring all the terf bullshit tags)
its sad that this is considered 'radical' when its really not
Women don't do makeup, wear skimpy uncomfortable clothing, break their skin barrier with a bunch of useless "skincare products", shave daily, go under the knife, suffer eating disorders and spend an insane amount of money on beauty enhancements for men. They do it for themselves. But the part of themselves that they're doing it for, is the part that grew up in a patriarchal society which tells them that their natural self isn't enough, that makes them embarrassed to show their unaltered appearance to the public, that tells them they're not woman enough if they're not "feminine". They do it for themselves because they've internalized the man made insecurities that have been pushed on them since birth. "I'd do this even if men didn't exist", we say, but that's only true for the society that we are in. If men were to have never existed, we wouldn't feel the need to go to such extremes for beauty in the first place.
Things coiny did for pin:
1. Dug to the centre of the earth for her
2. Went to hell and back for her. Literally and figuratively
3. Listened to her when nobody else did
4. Cared about her when nobody else did.
5. He was the ONLY one who showed how upset he was when Pin was turning inanimate. Nobody else cared.
6. Defended her when everyone was hating on her and bullying her
7. Hindered the challenge because he didn't want to throw tiny pin off the cliff to get Fries
8. Secretly botched the spinning wheel for Pin so that instead of getting 2763 days of pure torture she would get her face and body back with mechanical limbs
9. Brought extensions for her so she could move more freely and helped her crashout
10. Supported and helped her in every challenge after that
11. Left the team he was doing really really good in and who could've been a really good team with him (Fries and Pencil, which is insane coz Pencil doesn't usually team with guys/non-freesmarters, and Fries doesn't willingly stick to one team for more than an episode), because they wouldn't let Pin join
12. Talked to her when nobody else did and helped her get her revenge
13. Only one to see her side of the story
14. He did little details such as giving her a hat, carrying her up the water fountain while he swam with ONE HAND, the other hand even holding it outright so she wouldn't get affected by the water
15. Even though they had to be separated, and he said "may the best player win", he still cared for her the entire episode, and didn't kick her down the stairs.
16. He sacrificed immunity for her, something his competitive nature would've never done. He sacrificed immunity to save her because nobody else cared about her.
17. He kept on looking after Pin the whole time, asking her if she was okay ect. Even though they weren't allowed to be in a team
18. He broke the rules by treating Pin like they were in a team by helping her
What Pin did for Coiny:
1. Betrayed him
(Not hate towards Pin btw ppl are forgetting that they literally make up quickly and Pin changes a lot. This is a part of her character development. And it's also definitely the main reason she disliked BFDIA because she hurt the one who meant the most to her. Shes complex guys...)
(This is mainly just a Coiny appreciation post because even after all this she's his number 1 in bfb and tpot)
You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive
You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away
You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood
hey so uhhhh where's the fandom
And now for something completely different.
This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).
So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.
If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.
And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.
One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.
This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.
in the photos you just shared. erasure, is the goal for terfs.
MY FAVOURITE SILLY GREEN OBJECT SHOW NERDS!!!!!! IM GONNA FUCIN G EXPOLODE I LOVE BOOK SO ICJUHXYGZDSJHKJMCUCHHHH THIS FILLS ME WITH SO MUCH JOY
dont think ive posted this here before
I see Courtney posts on #riot grrrr CONSTANTLY. Like every swipe at least two Courtney lovers. It genuinely makes me SO ANGRY. Stop idolizing a fraud!?!? and because what? Because she's pretty? And hot? Why are you even a riot grrrl if you like her because of that. What makes you different from anybody else?
She's not iconic or different or new. She's just pretty, and a fucking terrible person.
read this if you actually are interested in learning why I hate Courtney Love
THIS OMG.
as i said i’m certain the letter is fake, but what’s really concerning me is the possibility of more faked letters that everyone believes, or people who luigi has genuinely took the time to respond to posting those letters online for everyone to see. you do not give a fuck about him if you think it’s okay to post his private letters on the internet. why would you not want to keep the letter between you and him? it’s great that millions of people talk about luigi, but this is the issue with ‘lowkey-fans’ of him or ppl who just want to join in on the ‘trend’ of writing him to see if they get a response. those of us who genuinely care would never think of posting his response online, but because he’s being treated as this trend/spectacle, people know they’re going to get so much attention if they share theirs; they want the media to post the letter because they want their 15 minutes of fame, sparing no thought for luigi whose every move is already being heavily scrutinized. he does not need his private letters being posted on top of that.
one thing that makes me feel better is i do feel like he’s never going to share anything that will go any deeper than simply thanking supporters and wishing them well like he’s been doing so far, because he and karen will know the likelihood of people posting his responses online. it’s sad that he can’t engage in lengthy conversation because of this, but at least it means that if people do post his letters there will most likely be nothing the media can properly manipulate.
the thing that honestly worries me more is people posting fake letters like that girl has done. it’s so easy to do, and this morning i scrolled for ages in her comments and every single person apart from me blindly believed it was real. it just scares me thinking about what else people might pretend he has said - we know for example the daily mail don’t care about factchecking, so like they did today they’ll jump on whatever he has ‘supposedly’ said /: the most dangerous thing is if both the media and the general public are spreading the same agenda, the public who support him might be doing it accidentally just because they’ve naively believed a fake letter someone has posted, but that’s all the media need to worsen their attack on him
