Here’s the thing: If your takeaway from the ending of The Full Moon is that ‘Blitzo fucked up’, then you are correct. And if your takeaway is that ‘Stolas fucked up’, then you are equally correct.
The key takeaway from the Stolitz breakup and what makes it such a PERFECTLY executed dramatic moment is that Blitzo and Stolas BOTH royally fucked it up.
Blitzo refused to recognize that Stolas could possibly genuinely love him while Stolas shut Blitzo out. Stolas hit Blitzo’s trauma buttons just as hard as Blitzo hit Stolas’s PTSD triggers.
In this scene, they are both ‘aggressor’ AND ‘victim’ in EQUAL measure.
And it is what makes this scene so god-damn PERFECT.
Because it illustrates WHY this relationship between Blitzo and Stolas simply CANNOT work as it is now. Why ANY relationship between these two cannot work as they are now.
There was no miscommunication. No external factors or complications that nudged either of them one way or another. Just their respective issues, baggage and trauma invariably destroying their relationship. This scene was simply the logical, inevitable endpoint of this relationship.
As Blitzo and Stolas currently are as people, this was ALWAYS going to happen sooner or later. This isn’t a breakup that ‘needed’ to happen. It was a breakup that was GOING to happen one way or another.
I do think that a Stolitz relationship will probably still happen by the end of the show. But this scene illustrated that it can ONLY happen after Blitzo and Stolas have BOTH done some serious work on themselves individually and worked and grown through their respective issues as people.
Okay but for the external factor thing I do wanna point out Luna got into Blitz's head at the start of the episode. I do feel like his reaction would've been less severe if she hadn't said that

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.
Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m
wonder-meathead
can we have some context to this, perhaps?
Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.
Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.
That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.
(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

just fucking read it
There are a lot of interesting things about this post but the AK-47 shaped spear is what really got me
This is just as wild with the context

A message from a few of the trans staff at Tumblr & Automattic:
We want trans people, and LGBTQ+ people broadly, to feel welcome on Tumblr, in part because we as trans people at Tumblr and Automattic want it to be a space where we ourselves feel included. We want to feel like this is a platform that supports us and fights for our safety. Tumblr is made brighter and more vibrant by your presence, and the LGBTQ+ folks who help run it are fighting all the time for this, for you, internally.
A few days ago, Matt Mullenweg (the CEO of Automattic, Tumblr’s parent company) responded to a user’s ask about an account suspension in a way that negatively affected Tumblr’s LGBTQ+ community. We believe that Matt's response to this ask and his continued commentary has been unwarranted and harmful. Tumblr staff do not comment on moderation decisions as a matter of policy for a variety of reasons—including the privacy of those involved, and the practicalities of moderating thousands of reports a day. The downside of this policy is that it is very easy for rumors and incorrect information about actions taken by our Trust & Safety team to spread unchecked. Given this, we want to clarify a few different pieces of this situation:
- The reality of predstrogen's suspension was not accurately conveyed, and made it seem like we were reaching for opportunities to ban trans feminine people on the platform. This is not the case. The example comment shared in the post linked above does not meet our definition of a realistic threat of violence, and was not the deciding factor in the account suspension.
- Matt thereafter failed to recognize the harm to the community as a result of this suspension. Matt does not speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ people who help run Tumblr or Automattic, and we were not consulted in the construction of a response to these events.
- Last year, the "mature" and "sexual themes" community labels were erroneously applied to some users' posts. An outside team of contractors tasked with applying community labels to posts were responsible for this larger trend of mislabeling trans-related content. When our Trust & Safety team discovered this issue (thanks largely to reports from the community), we removed the contracted team’s ability to apply community labels and added more oversight to ensure it does not happen again. In the Staff post about this, LGBTQ+ staff pushed to be more transparent but were overruled by leadership. The termination of a contractor mentioned in the original ask response was for an unrelated incident which was incorrectly attributed to this case. We regret that the mislabeling ever happened, and the negative impact it has had on the trans community on Tumblr.
- Transition timelines are not against our community guidelines, and weren’t a factor considered by the moderation team when discussing suspensions and subsequent appeals. We do not take action against content that is related to transitioning or trans bodies unless it includes violations of the Community Guidelines.
- When it comes to the experience of trans folks on Tumblr encountering transphobic content, and interacting with bigoted users, we understand and share your frustrations. Tumblr’s policies, and Automattic’s policies, are written to ensure freedom of speech and expression. We prohibit harassment as defined in our Community Guidelines, but we know that this policy falls short of protecting users from the wider scope of harmful speech often used against LGBTQ+ and other marginalized people.
Going forward, Tumblr is taking the following actions:
- Prioritizing anti-harassment features that will empower users to more effectively protect themselves from harassment.
- Building more internal tooling for us as Staff to proactively identify and mitigate instances of harassment.
- Reviewing which of the tags frequently used by the trans community are blocked, and working to make them available next week.
We’re sorry for how this all transpired, and we’re actively fighting to make our voices heard more and prevent something like this from happening again in the future. We know firsthand that having to deal with situations like this as a Tumblr user is difficult, particularly as a member of an already frequently targeted and harassed community. We know it will take time to regain your trust, and we’re going to put in the work to rebuild it.
We appreciate the space we have been given to express our concerns and dissent, and we are thankful that Matt’s (and Automattic’s) strong commitment to freedom of expression has facilitated it.
We will continue to fight to make Tumblr safe for us all.
— This statement was authored by multiple trans employees of Tumblr and Automattic.
I urge people who are mad at staff in the notes to please read this post and think about it.
It's more complicated than on the surface. They're already throwing shade and attempting to actually side with us, they just can't do it head on. They can't "make Matt face the consequences" and they shouldn't be expected to take punishment for something they had absolutely no hand in. They can't fire the guy above them that's not how this works. Not every battle can be fought the same way with success, no matter how mad we get about what we're fighting against.
"fighting all the time for this, for you, internally"
"unwarranted and harmful"
"not a realistic threat of violence"
"failed to recognize the harm to the community"
"we were not consulted"
"pushed to be more transparent but were overruled by leadership"
"we understand and share your frustrations"
"actively fighting to make our voices heard"
This is a very carefully, professionally worded message that they're trying and have been, and haven't had the power to do much to help until now. They are being as bold as they dare against the literal boss of their company. Translation: "Hey our CEO jumped the shark but we can't exactly disown him because CEO. We know shit sucks and we've been trying to fix it but getting nowhere. Now that their shit has caused the inevitable mess we warned it would cause, they'll probably let us fix it". Except in professional corporate speak that the CEO can't justify getting mad about. Which, yes, includes a mandatory thank you.
It also neatly traps photomatt into letting them do it.
Please learn to speak corporate before you start shouting into a void. It will serve you so well to learn to read between the lines of memos and PSAs and upcoming changes and press releases.

have you been enjoying absurd Helldivers 2 nonsense?
multiple players have independently called my compared my satirical scifi skirmish storytelling TTPRG 🎲 PLANET FIST to Helldivers—so much as to call it "exactly the tone of Helldivers." the new Faithless Edition of PLANET FIST will be releasing this year, and if you buy it now, you get the new edition for free!
in PLANET FIST, SHOOTOUTS ARE STORIES, and they're goofy and over the top. you're an undying, unsleeping soldier who can get blasted to bits and thrown right back onto the battlefield next round. if you're looking to see how it hits that Helldivers tone, just check out some of the FACTION TRAITS below!
what's PLANET FIST about? what does it play like? read the PRINCIPLES OF PLAY here!
what are people saying about PLANET FIST, besides that it's like Helldivers 2?
"PLANET FIST is a quick-to-learn and quick-to-play system for characters thrown into FPS-style deathmatches on a world that knows nothing but war. It's a game of high-emotion, low-consequence combat, for when you're wondering what the infinite Master Chiefs are thinking during Halo multiplayer. PLANET FIST is 'war never changes' said with the same inflection as 'it's all made up and the points don't matter.'"
- Caleb Zane Huett, designer of Triangle Agency
"An absolute blast—and then another, and then another, and then another, each leaving remains splattered on a wall. Gleeful, and tactical, and winkingly tongue-in-cheek; a masterful game from top to bottom."
- Jeff Stormer, host of the Party of One actual play podcast
