the part they aim for

I wish insomnia at least gave you more usable hours in the day instead of just more hours where you are stupid

i’m not going to call myself “the friend who’s too woke” or hedge around my opinion because this is my deeply considered belief: horror literature is the theater of disgust, and the disgust that drives the vast, vast majority of classic horror media from the 1890s-1940s—dracula, jekyll and hyde, king kong, nosferatu, the mummy, universal frankenstein, the wolf man, cthulhu, and more—is the exact disgust that drove the worldwide tide of violence in the 1930s and 40s, a tide that has never fully receded, and you have NO business adapting a piece of classic horror media if you aren’t willing to put in the work to identify what is portrayed as disgusting in that property and enter into some form of dialogue with it. if you don’t want your movie to be “about” race or class or gender or sexuality or ability, you’re free to choose a source material that isn’t already about that, but unluckily for you giant hypersexual apes do not exist in a vacuum

I think it’s hilarious how someone always mentions autistic people with special interests when someone vaguely mentions the phenomenon of Disney adults. I think the heavy majority of Disney adults are not autistic and it is kind of insulting that you assume they are. You think a grown adult who owns a wall of Mickey ears must be autistic because you picture an infantilized caricature when you think of an autistic person. More than that, I, a funny and cultured autistic guy who collects stickers and rocks, should be allowed to mock Disney adults regardless of if they’re neurodivergent or not.

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

Rocky on the trip back to Erid registering that Grace has defaulted to using he/him for him for sexism reasons and that they don't actually have to go by he/him. xe does some research on the human computer and spends several weeks cycling through different pronoun sets. starts switching so frequently Grace becomes convinced sie has started being difficult on purpose. after a while Grace is like omg will you just pick one and stick with it. Rocky is like okay i have decided. rock/rocks. rockself. Grace like well i can't argue with that.

Grace several years into their voyage, finally getting good enough at understanding Eridian to clock when Rocky has switched back to using the Neutral Tone for him, thereby implying that they are no longer friends: HEY??
