Maybe you're a little late, maybe you're a hurricane.

dogma spoilers (finished rewatch btw) but with the trans allegory post still being on my mind i started thinking about bethany's kid being trans and the possibilities on that. my fav idea i've come up with is bethany's child being amab and bethany's confused because metatron referred to the future child as "she" but is like it doesn't matter i'll love my child no matter their gender. and she names the child rufus because rufus said to name them after him but bethany slowly starts to regret this decision cuz she just doesn't like the name that much she doesn't think it really fits her child. and then sometime down the road her child comes out as trans (sidenote she names herself alanis) and bethany's like ok good-- ooooh metatron was right the whole tiiiime

i still headcanon bethany as strictly aroace but there's something about how she gives up on men and refuses trying out women and her friend says to beg for a third option, and then serendipity (after jay makes a joke about bethany and serendipity having sex) is described as "not really anything" in regards to gender like damn maybe bethany found her third option

i already saw one very smart person bring up dogma as partially being a trans allegory due to bethany's struggle in accepting what she finds out about herself, but i feel like there's another trans element to be said about how god in this universe is a woman and bethany refers to her with she/her pronouns upon finding this out but a majority of characters use he/him for god (and cardinal glick very pointedly "corrects" the usage of she/her). idk there's something there maybe

ugh no more talking about it but yeah i'm a bit of a hater about the new stuff and i have the right to my opinion and the right to sometimes close myself in a lil bubble where only some of the movies actually exist. anyway dogma rewatch finishing it tonight??

clerks 2 gave us becky and elias and emma. quite good. it gave us abc scene. also great. raindrops fallin on my head sequence also good. prison scene holy shit. i don't remember much else

askewniverse really making me defy my usual patterns with enjoying media. like historically i've been a "why are we talking so much about shipping can we talk about the other stuff" guy in most cases but with askewniverse i love the shipping stuff with all my heart and have zero complaints about the amount of it. and historically i've been an "i will strongly defend the new stuff, which other people hate, as being really good actually" guy but idrc for any askewniverse movie after clerks 2 i don't even care for clerks 2 all that much and every time i see someone mention clerks 3 i take psychic damage
