Actually, I didn’t really want to watch the final season of Outer Banks, because apparently it’s pretty bad. In my opinion, they should’ve ended the show with season 3, which is one of the reasons I lost interest in it. But I’m also kind of curious and I hate leaving shows unfinished (except for Riverdale 🤡).
Even though I still watched the bad endings of GoT, Euphoria and Stranger Things, is it worth reactivating my Netflix account for Outer Banks or is it so bad I should just leave it?
I just watched the season 3 finale, and my poor Helaena deserved better.
She knew that there wasn't any way out for her and poor Jaehaera. She's alone in a castle with her fathers enemies and under the same roof of the man that ordered the death of her brother and pushed her mother to far 💔
The scene of them force feeding her broke my heart 😔
I wish she and alicent had escaped like they planned too
Honestly, Phia Saban did an amazing job in bringing heleana to life.
There are two songs that have reminded me of two movies from this year for quite some time now, and I simply always associate them with each other.
Now that I’ve finally seen one of the movies, having already read the book of the other one and being excited to see that movie too, I want to get this off my chest.
“Tell me, what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?” ~ iykyk 😢
“Or the Fourth of July ?” ~ Haymitch’s Birthday (and Reaping Day)
“Did you get enough love, my little dove?” ~ Lenore Dove
“I hate that I made you love me, sorry if I made me your type” ~ self-explanatory (can be from both perspectives)
“You studied my crown and borrowed my body” ~ what Bear has done to Nikki (from her perspective)
“Cause I barely tried” ~ sounds like bear-ly
I know that these songs (which I really like and have been listening to a lot) aren't actually about those movies and other people already have had the same thought as me (primarily on TikTok in the form of edits) but i’ve never seen people on Tumblr talking about it.
I am curious to see if there are any more examples of this kind.
A male colleague was making fun of the #metoo movement a few days ago, and many more (I’m one of 5 women in a department of 200 men) joined in. So I raised my voice and said I was glad women were speaking up about sexual harassment and assault and that I hoped that everyone who perpetuated this toxic behavior got taken down.
“Yeah but it’s a trend now, lots of them are just saying it for their 15 minutes of fame.” He then continued to say that he didn’t know anyone who had been harassed or any man who had done it.
I asked him if he had a daughter. He did. I asked him how old she was. She was was 17. I told him I’d bet my rent money that his daughter had experienced sexual harassment.
“That’s impossible.”
“Did you ask her?”
“No.”
“Well then, do it.”
The next day, he came in the office with five bouquets of flowers for all the women in our department, including me. He publicly apologized for making fun of sexual harassment and for making our lives harder by doing so. He said that he simply hadn’t known how widespread it was. Apparently, his daughter deals with it very regularly. She hadn’t told him because of the way he spoke about assault cases that were on the news. She thought he’d think less of her if she’d mention it. It was her idea that he should make a public announcement. He said he felt like a bad father.
I said: “You were. Same goes for everyone who laughed with you. Be better, now you know better. And educate other men that still think the same way you did yesterday. And next time someone tells you about an experience they have, don’t automatically assume that because you haven’t seen it, it’s not true. That kind of willful ignorance is why we still deal with this shit.”
He also offered to pay my rent as that was part of the bet, but I told him I’d rather have him put effort in being a person his daughter and wife could be proud of.
In conversation the other day my mom stopped and asked my dad about what percentage of women he thought had experienced sexual harassment. He said about 20-30% maybe. My mom told him that both of us had been harassed multiple times at work (same goes for both of her sisters) and that she had actually been assaulted by a groper on a public bus. I have never seen anyone’s face go slack so quickly before as he realized that literally every woman in his family had experienced this. And while I’m glad he believed us and has changed his view on that subject I still can’t shake the frustration, the anger, that it required being sat down and spoonfed these incidents that we didn’t particularly wanted to relive. This is something that women have been saying for years, but men just never listen. Not even when they’re forced to sit in mandatory harassment in the workplace training seminars.
this post needs more attention
After five months, I finally finished watching Stranger Things and unpopular opinion:
I don’t think the final season is that bad. In fact, I’d say it’s better than the final season of Game of Thrones, which I also don’t hate as much anymore, even though it’s still pretty bad.
Season 4 will always be my favorite because it’s iconic and it was the first season I ever watched back then.
Ser Duncan The Tall is the type of masculine I wanna see on my screen (and irl) more often. He's big, strong, and manly, but he's also sweet, stands for what's right, and he does it because he truly believes in the cause, not for money. He's awkward. He respects women. He doesn't repress his emotions. He treats kids and animals right. This man should be the role model for young boys instead of the misogynistic edgelords
I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:
Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed
