since tumblr shot itself in the face, someone in the captain america fandom started a fandom-wide spreedsheet so people could easily find their favorite blogs on other social media sites. I figured it was a good idea, so I did one for sheith.
please everyone feel free to list all your alternate contact accounts (pillowfort, twitter, discord…) and share across the fandom!
hot take: the problem isnt the manic pixie dream girl. its the boring ass moody emotional leech guy she always gets paired with. we need more manic pixie dream characters. just give them partners who are as great as them or let them be happy alone! no more smart, beautiful, optimistic, kind girls getting paired with actual mosquitoes of men!
Also: make some manic pixie dream boys. If I wanna see romance maybe I wanna see a giddy boy full of positive energy who tells you fun facts about the constellations. Stop teaching boys they have to be moody and sad and they have to find salvation in a dream girl, this is how you breed Bad Men.
They canceled school last week because the air was so bad and I though “cool extra time to study for that test”
But now it’s canceled all this week too. The air isn’t as bad anymore and it’s been this bad before and school wasn’t canceled so i’m kinda confused why it is now.
a hot take? believing in thought crimes is inherently ableist.
there is no version of thinking that someone’s thoughts alone define who they are and what they’re worth as a person or thinking that people should be judged and punished for their thoughts as they would be for spoken words and actions that does not target neurodivergent people.
there is no way you can believe that thought crimes are real without that meaning you condemn neurodivergent people who suffer from intrusive thoughts or whose neurodivergence affects their thinking or emotional processes in a way that causes them to have thoughts that are not particularly kind or positive or charitable about other people or the world they’re in.
to believe in thought crimes is to believe that neurodivergent people are inherently bad, inherently evil, inherently dangerous, and inherently deserving of being locked up or punished in some other way.
and to say you believe in thought crimes “but no, wait, i don’t mean for neurodivergent people! i mean for everyone else!” is a cop out that signifies you either don’t actually believe in thought crimes but find the concept useful as a justification for ostracizing and abusing people or you haven’t actually thought that much about the platform you stand on in any nuanced way.
