trying to blame nick for delays is crazy. and idc if it is nick’s fault (which it’s not), i’m squarely on his side on this one. as an actor it makes zero sense to put your career on hold solely for concepts of a script. until he has a finalized script in his hands, it’s fair game
anyway i’ve been so stressed that my immune system decided to peace out and i somehow caught a cold in the middle of a heatwave ✌🏽 it’s 90 degrees out and i’ve been coughing like a sick victorian child
squid game season 3 is what depression feels like 👍🏽 (i actually think the ending is great, but man is it a gut punch 😭)
y’all i need prayers and major good vibes thrown my way 🙏🏽 (i got good news for once but i need all the spiritual help i can get 🥰)
kids these days have no culture because i made a “it’s just a flesh wound” joke and no one knew wtf i was talking about /s/ i feel so old 😭 (i’m not even 30)

hello everyone & welcome to summer school! please feel free to take notes
“how is alex the fandom’s punching bag” bestie how much time do you have because not only can i write an entire dissertation about this but i can create a whole syllabus with supporting bibliography and actual statistics
Becca🌸🌺@springforaspell.bsky.social · last yr.to be clear i adore henry and i love henry and alex equally but i’m kind of tired of alex being the fandom’s punching bag when his only crimes are *checks notes* having adhd, not understanding his sexuality fast enough, and disliking someone who dismissed him outright

reading comprehension is dead bc what do you mean people think alex is a himbo as if his entire laidback personality isn’t his own suit of armor that he wears bc he commits to things so deeply and feels like he’s too much and so he’s terrified of getting his heart broken
alex claremont-diaz was smart enough to get into law school on a whim and yet some of you act like he was the stupidest and most oblivious person to ever walk the planet
got my parents hooked on suits and you know the chemistry between gabriel and patrick is 🔥 because my dad hopped in the middle of s4 and spent an entire season confused as hell because he thought harvey and mike were actually brothers and so i had to pause and explain the lore
saying race doesn’t matter re: tzp’s career when thousands and thousands of brown and black people in america are being targeted and fired from their jobs right now because “dei” is under attack is certainly a choice…
here’s the thing: there are plenty of ways to say “i hear you and acknowledge the problem, but i’m not prepared to point any fingers yet because i don’t have enough information about what happened, but i’m looking into it” that doesn’t take weeks and sweep colorism under the rug
leaving this here and then logging off, because i’m really tired of being labeled as the one miserable rwrb stan account for simply pointing out how fandom racism and microaggressions go unchecked www.teenvogue.com/story/on-whi...
Queer Fandom Isn't a Utopia, Part 2
The second you remind people that you’re also a person of color and that matters to you as much as your queerness does, it becomes a problem for far too many people in queer fandom spaces.
teenvogue.com
friendly reminder that whitewashing and white-centeredness doesn’t stop at just making a poc character’s skin color lighter, but a lot of y’all aren’t ready for that conversation
i’m not that big into astrology, but i’m blaming my crash out the past few days on this leo full moon. because my level of unhingedness has been insane even for me, so wtf is going on?
sorry but i don’t think henry/others in the context of making alex miserable is fun actually you can enjoy the thought of henry/harry without making it all about how alex would react or be upset about it
healing is not linear one day you feel so good you're like nothing can set you back but then something triggers you and you're back where you started be kind to yourself always and be kind to others people are going through things they don't talk about ❤️🩹
and to be clear - the problem isn’t that this trope exists or that people like it. it’s that a good chunk of this fandom can’t separate alex’s bi crisis from this trope, and so alex’s realization of his sexuality is often inextricably tied to jealousy and toxicity
Becca🌸🌺@springforaspell.bsky.social · 2y agoi’m just going to be blunt: as a late-blooming bisexual, the way this fandom overwhelmingly treats alex’s late realization of his sexuality like it’s a biblical sin that he has to repent for by watching henry be the city bicycle is downright insulting.

a fandom’s representation stems in large part from how it treats characters in fic. ex -> the stucky shippers getting labeled as misogynistic for how it treats canon female romantic interests. it’s the responsibility of the fandom to call out these tropes and trends.
no but kendrick lamar’s halftime performance was actually art. he had the entire country’s eyes on him and he made such a pointed statement about the political atmosphere of this country without actually doing anything that trump can use against him in court
2 back-to-back sacks and an interception leading straight to a touchdown. mahomes was clearly rattled. that’s how you apply pressure 💪🏽
Henry has fancied: + Boys who take their studies seriously. + Smelled like cinnamon + Didn’t know how to properly address him + Had a nice ass = Alex. Who is Singular, yes. But who also represents the culmination of everything he’s liked in other men. “I search for you in everyone I meet.”
anyway i’m logging off for a bit because i fear i might have kicked the hornet’s nest with that one ✌🏽
when you consider how there are almost 2x as many jealous alex fics as there are jealous henry fics, and when you see how jealous!alex is treated in these fics compared to jealous!henry… like nora, i’m just going to let the data speak for itself 💅🏽
hot take but all this disgusting body shaming is a direct result of the fandom’s obsessive need to infantilize and babygirl henry. henry has always been tall, broad-shouldered, and strong. he’s never had to be coddled and pampered, but the fandom chooses to ignore that 🤷🏻♀️
