Anonymous asked: i just read about ur feelings for Elena and I feel EXACTLY the same way!! is it wrong for me to say I want her to die? (because I do!! (a little less now that Jeremy is back but still) I just don't like her

I personally don’t like wishing death on characters, but…I wouldn’t be all that broken up if she did die because I honestly can’t find it in me to give two fucks about her (and I’ve actually tried).

Anonymous asked: great post on racism/sexism - i agree with most of it. little FYI for reference: latino/hispanic are not terms of race, but ethnicity/ethnolinguistic categories. a latino person can be of any race, so although it's possible that Sophie and Jane-Anne are white, they could at the same time be latina. still, in the end it would be up to those characters, and anyone really, whether they identify as POC or white. the way one refers to oneself re: any of those terms can be a pretty personal choice.

Thanks so much!

And thanks for informing me on that :)

Catching up on last night’s Teen Wolf…

“This might hurt.”

Pffft. Might? Might?

Nope. This hurts. A lot.

rawr-foodlover asked: I agree. Especially that the show just seems to makes excuses for these characters, (mainly Klaus and Damon imo) Like what you said "‘Oh, well he really loves *insert character here* so that’s why he does what he does’ or ‘Oh, well, he has so much emotional damage that this is how he deals with it’ or ‘Oh, his feelings were just hurt.’" etc. But people irl do that as well, like when people are hurt or whatever they lash out at the people they love/care about. So I guess in a way that makes sense

Yeah, it definitely happens in real life. There’s no denying that.

Abuse certainly isn’t an easy thing to portray in a TV show, but TVD seems to use it to an extreme extent without ever really confronting the issue and saying “This isn’t okay.”

And since there are a lot of young women watching the show…it’s just a scary thought. Like, I’ve seen a post circulating around saying, “I want a guy as sweet as Stefan, as protective as Damon, and as strong as Klaus.” And the idea that women really want men like that…well, it’s a scary thought.

And it’s not TVD that does that either. Society as a whole does these sorts of things and plenty of other media does as well. But, I just really wish this issue would actually be addressed.

Like I said, abuse definitely isn’t easy to portray at all, but I just feel that TVD goes about it in all the wrong ways.

Anonymous asked: thanks for that post about racism and sexism in TVD it really opened my eyes :)

I’m so happy to hear that! :)

rawr-foodlover asked: I just finished reading your post about the racism and sexism in TVD and I honestly agree with most of what you said about both. And in a way it's not just a show because like you said young girls watch it and obviously what they take in influences their thoughts and how they view things. But don't you think that the fact that it is a show about vampires, etc makes the abuse and such actually make sense? Because vampire are supposed to be evil bloodsuckers anyway.

I get what you’re trying to say. I mean, I don’t watch a show about vampires and expect everything to be happy and loving and so on, but…

Here’s why I find it to be such a problem:

Are the vampires actually seen as bad and evil? Is the abuse that happens seen as bad and evil?

No, they’re not. The abuse has always been romanticized in the show and when one of the vampires abuses one of the women, it gets turned into an issue of ‘Oh, well his feelings were hurt…he just has so much emotional damage he doesn’t know how to cope’

It’d be a different matter if the show didn’t constantly romanticize the abuse or brush it under the rug or excuse what happens. But the show doesn’t. The show doesn’t go ‘Here. This character is bad. What he’s doing is bad. There’s no excuse for it. Even if he has a lot of emotional damage, it is still not acceptable.’  Instead the show goes, ‘Oh, well he really loves *insert character here* so that’s why he does what he does’ or ‘Oh, well, he has so much emotional damage that this is how he deals with it’ or ‘Oh, his feelings were just hurt.’  And that’s why the way the show portrays it is so unacceptable.
