"i just don't see why you think jax is a trans woman" okay well watch the entire show again with your eyes and ears open this time

ohhh okay see what you did wrong is neurons are supposed to fire while you watch things. you're supposed to comprehend the information presented and think about what it means

did you know that things characters do in stories are often supposed to tell you something about their personality or motivations. did you know that elements in stories wouldn't be there if the author didn't put them there on purpose, and so there's usually some kind of intention behind them.

I do vaguely fantasize about being so loudly ace and kinky that people in the "well i don't dislike sex/i don't need sex but I'm not ace" camp get frogboiled into agreeing that ace kink is the best kink by conditioned association alone. Force-asexual. You should realize that you would find this all a lot hotter and kinkier if sex wasn't on the table. Legally this counts as corruption.

sometimes it feels like you only wear me for my stat boosts and hidden class access and you don't even care about my corruptive whispers and really pretty eye motif.

please don't call it her 'corruption arc'. she's just learning what she likes, what makes her happy, and finally coming into her own. it's a natural process that everyone goes through when they're finally able to stretch their wings and explore who they want to be. stretch her wings literally in this case, aren't they cute? also i don't want her thinking about the optics of this until she's past the point of no return.

No, dear hero, you totally don't need to be trying to escape right now or anything. You're fast enough, skilled enough, and your dps is high enough. That attack hitting you was just a fluke. It's absolutely possible for you to defeat me right now. Plus if you don't defeat me here who knows how many innocents my demonic magic will corrupt before you next meet me. No, I totally believe in you. That hit was also a fluke. Also, ignore the "Increased Suggestibility" status effect, mental status effects don't matter. Truly, dear hero, this is a perfect opportunity for you to defeat me once and for all. Also a fluke. C'mon, you can do it. Lock the fuck in.

we can play a fun game where you pick some trait you think is your immutable self, and I can carve it out of you and leave it sitting uselessly in a surgical tray. Its all just meat, nothing more, nothing less

Makes the action figure version of you pink to better align with your parent franchise's target audience.

I like the forcefem undertones of this post.

Focus group polling of key market demographics indicates that you should put on the dress.

And if I said Megamind is one of the few movies that understands Superman.

And if I said Megamind through its three subversions of Superman shows a deeper understanding that the point of Superman is that he was loved and taught to love by good, present parents, and because of that he is able to return that love to a world even if it doesn't always accept it, and he is not corrupted by his power, than many other films either subverting or playing the superman story straight.

sorry i will never understand cis grief. your daughter is living her best life and going around with friends and feeling like a human being. your son doesn’t feel like he needs to crawl out of his skin anymore and can actually smile. your children are happy and no longer see their existence as the worst thing in the world. why are you grieving this lmao. grow up.

maybe orpheus always looks back because his very effort to reverse death means that he can't look forward. if he could look forward, he could accept eurydice's death, grieve, and keep moving in life. his refusal to accept her death is looking back. his going down to the underworld, asking hades and persephone for her life, trying to lead her out... it's all 'looking back'. he does nothing for the entire story except look back. orpheus! looks! back! it's his entire thing! the story ends the same way it begins: orpheus looked back.

it's really embarrassing to be in that kind of semi-manic mood where everything is deeply fascinating and exciting. a kind of gullibility. inclined to see the world for more than it is. i feel like i could be entertained by shiny colors right now.
