Pedantic Nitpickery Of The Day: “death Of The Author” And “fuck Canon I Do What I Want” Are

Stop making new bands. The only bands that have ever mattered are Big Time Rush and Lemonade Mouth

i just adore the concept of a romance with a ghost. falling in love with a person who’s barely a person at all. the inherent tragedy of it. something both impermanent and immortal. u know it’s sure to be a doomed dalliance, but you love this dead thing anyway

reggie’s “stand taALLLLLLLL” followed by julie’s “stand talllll” and then luke and alex’s “stand tall” rb if you agree

I love how the queer ML fandom collectively agrees that Chloé is a massive lesbian

Anne and Gilbert still really are that slowburn couple

✧ OLIVIA RODRIGO as Nini Salazar-Roberts in ’HSMTMTS’ — S3E08: Let It Go (2022)

I love Toy Story 2 for a lot of reasons, but one thing is near the end when Buzz tries to awkwardly give Jessie a compliment, so he says “Hey uh… I like your hair” and she just picks him up like “Thanks, you’re mine now!”

Are there Adrien Salt takes that you agree with?

I mean, the thing about salt that I inherently disagree with is how it often equates "a character making a mistake / doing something 'bad' " to "a bad character / poor writing / a bad person".

Like, I could sit here and list out all the mistakes that Adrien has made, but that doesn't mean I agree with the salt interpretation of those mistakes. I kind of equate "[character] salt" in the fandom at this point with "bad faith criticism of the character", and no, I don't have any 'bad faith' criticisms of Adrien.

I think at the end of the day, Adrien and Marinette are both flawed characters who have done things I disagree with, but those flaws and decisions are what make them compelling characters. And even when I don't agree with their choices, I always understand why they made them (and it's almost always either some kind of trauma response or a misguided attempt to do good), and that's why I love them.

They're just kids, they're genuinely trying their best, and they're going to make some interesting mistakes along the way. I don't personally see any point in fixating on those mistakes. That's just not how I enjoy the show.

( also, please no one add salt to this post. just wanted to answer the question and honestly I'd prefer to stay sodium-free. make your own post if you must. )
