I had a conversation with a friend the other day. And I’m left confused. I told them exactly this

“I will respect other people's beliefs but I will say that Islam is a stupid religion
Like wym women gotta cover their hair? It's misogyny disguised as a belief.
I can have my opinion on it, but I'm also not gonna hate people for being Islamic, it's their choice and I am glad if it finds them comfort
But I still think the religion is stupid
In fact I think all religions are kinda stupid”

They replied

“I personally think calling a specific inherently stupid or bad is really rude thing to say. I just think people use religion in negative ways to get what they want.”

I said to that “People aren’t stupid for believing them tho, I hate the religions not the people who believe them”

And they replied

“I still think it’s rude to say that Islam is stupid. Can you confidently go up to a Muslim person and call their religion stupid with a straight face?”

I said

“Again I would never make fun of someone’s religion or say what I think about it to someone who actually is that religion because yes that is rude. But I can also hold my opinion”

They finally said

“Genuinely what is your problem? How could you say that about other people? I know you said that you don’t think Islamic people are stupid themselves but it’s a big part of their identity and they genuinely believe what’s in the Quran.”

I then finally said to that

“Did you not read any of the texts I just sent? I don’t think people are stupid for believing a religion I just don’t believe them and think religion is silly imo. People probably think me doing shit part of my identity is stupid but as long as they won’t hurt me or respect my beliefs then honestly who gives a shit? I bet religious people think atheism is stupid but that’s their opinion and it ain’t hurting me.”

The conversation ended after that, and honestly idk what to think. Am I actually an asshole for saying religion is stupid? Other person isn’t religious btw.

Did the trailer confirm that >!Marinette is not Nemesis?!< I see people say “oh it’s a senti” or “Rena upgraded her power”. But >!Nemesis touched Ladybug and she didn’t disappear!<, meaning it >!can’t be Marinette!<. I seriously doubt that Felix made a senti because it would go against everything he stands for, and Rena upgrading her power so her illusions can be touched would be way too OP.

I personally don’t think >!Marinette is akumatised!< in this episode, she’ll probably >!recognise that Chrysalis is trying to manipulate her and reject it.!< Considering she was >!akumatised before and now knows how Chrysalis works.!<

If I’m wrong however, I will admit defeat, but I seriously >!don’t believe Marinette is Nemesis.!<

There’s gonna be like… 12 seasons right? If >!Chrysalis is this dead set on knowing Marinette = Ladybug!<, how is she going to be bamboozled to stop suspecting this? Especially when like 500 people now >!know her identity including her parents? (Assuming she revealed to them because they knew they’d be under attack).!< Chrysalis is no Hawkmoth, very smart and also very obscure, covering her tracks while meticulously uncovering other tracks. >!A simple Rena Rouge illusion definitely would not be enough to convince her (especially when Rena didn’t show up with Carapace in Secret Protocol).!< So I am severely wondering how on earth they are gonna manage to drag this out for this long when the stakes are so incredibly high that it’s >!borderline thriller now with that end card scene.!<

Theories? I just hope the writers don’t throw in some plot convenient bs especially if it’s inconsistent with the characters’ personalities.

Like imagine just chilling in your house and it suddenly gets obliterated into rubble. Sometimes the akumas are so destructive no one is safe no matter how many precautions there are. Like everyone in Paris in this universe are strong af I definitely would have been moving to Antarctica genuinely ✌️

STOP IT WAS FINE BEFORE YOU ARE CHANGING IT FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON

WHY IS EVERYTHING GETTING THE TIKTOK FORMAT BRO WTF

IDEK WHERE HALF THE SHIT IS ANYMORE

STOP THE CHANGES 😭🙏🏻

I use em dashes and sometimes use the “it wasn’t x it’s y” format. And I heard they were common in ai generated fics. I’m so worried someone will accuse me because I genuinely worked so hard on my fics

What I mean is that some fandoms have characters that are commonly headcannoned as autistic. Like Zuko from Avatar, or Leni from Loud House. But what’s a character that you headcanon to be on the spectrum that barely anyone else in the fandom has ever acknowledged? A unique neurodivergent headcanon that you don’t see a lot of other people talking about.

For me it’s Lincoln Loud from The Loud House and Audrey Lim from The Good Doctor (haha the irony-)

I’m at a camp right now until Friday and the showers are only ones in a public restroom. I just got my period (it came very early) and idk wtf to do I’m gonna have a panic attack. I have a very specific routine at home when I shower on my period but these showers have only 1 shared drain and I don’t wanna free bleed for other people to see the blood cause that’s nasty af. I’m already stressed about the different routine in things now I am mortified about dealing with my period (my pads are really sucky small ones too). Please idk what to do I am so fucked.

Yes, you can specify the character has some sort of speech difference occasionally.

But don’t wrote a character with a lisp speaking like “Sho I need to shpeak to Shally about shome important shtuff, or elesh Shally might fashe shome conshquenshes”

Don’t write a character with a southern American accent like “All d’em folks and ya betta be careful, ‘r else they ain’t gettin’ away, are yer gon’ be alrigh’ ther par’ner?”

Don’t write a character with a stutter like “B-b-b-but I-I-I-I didn’t th-th-th-th-th-th-ink it’d b-b-b-b-b-b-b-big deal, I-I-I am s-s-so s-s-s-s-s-s-sorry”

Like yes it’s okay occasionally to remind the reader of the speech the person has especially if it’s important to the story, but please for the love all things living… don’t write it in every word, it gets incredibly jarring to read. I hope I’m not being petty but this genuinely bugs me so much and it takes the emersion away from the story imo.

I (17f) am in a group chat with 3 other friends, we all know each other from school. I am the oldest as I am going into senior high this year when everyone else is a junior or sophomore. Recently we decided to stay in contact on a gc during the summer. For the most part it has been a fun experience and we talk about what we are doing during the day or joke around + play iPhone games. Recently these 2 friends in particular have been utilising the gc way more than me and the other friend. So much so that they consistently keep having one on one conversations with one another on the gc. They made it clear me and the other friend weren’t meant to be included cause they’d always gossip about this “friend” they have named “Jeff” (used different name for privacy reasons). and other shit. Me and the other friend never knew who/what they were talking about.

I didn’t mind at first but got increasingly annoyed at receiving notifications for a conversation I was not apart of. At first I just put it on DND but I would keep missing information I needed to know or something they had planned to do that day. So I took it off DND, but these friends CONTINUE to text each other on the gc when they can easily have their own convo on their own texting conversation. I told them to stop and to text each other privately but they ignored me completely. Again and again I told them politely but to no avail. Eventually I was in the middle of doing something important for a family event and my phone kept going off. I put it on DND but got scolded for even being on my phone to do that.

After the event I finally snapped at them and sternly told them to text in their own chat and stop incessantly setting my phone off for a conversation I am not even apart of. And that if they wanted to bitch about their friend Jeff to each other that I don’t need to know about it every second of the goddamn day because I don’t care and it should be discussed privately, especially in that moment. They got mad and said that they can do that if they wanted to and just silence them if it was bothering me THAT much. But I *have,* I just can’t keep it on all the time cause I would miss part of a conversation that was actually necessary for me to see. They then made a separate gc without me in it to “compensate”.

In a separate text conversation I contacted the other friend (16F) in the gc. Apparently the 2 friends have started to bitch about me now too. The neutral friend I contacted agreed with me completely that what they did was wrong but I shouldn’t have been so rude about it. I’m wondering if I overreacted and just let them continue the conversations or approached the situation differently now. I feel bad for how I handled myself. So… AITBA?

I headcanon he likes to wear more traditionally feminine clothing. Like if he were to go to a special event outside of his cowboy outfit he’d wear a dress. Or if he got married he’d wear a wedding dress. I know it’s really random but I totally think Star would unironically do this.
