Having the best time letting this show kick the shit out of me

60 is not old

sir john franklin of the eponymous doomed polar expedition died on the ice at 61. it's never too late.

blood magic isn’t even that big of a deal you guys are just sensitive

Death and the Reaper, love this concept

there should be a pill you can take one time that will shrivel up your uterus and abort it through one last horrible period

This is relevant to me because in just five days my stupid uterus is getting yeeted into the void forever, and damned if that useless lump of flesh didn't time things just right to make me suffer through one last fucking period before it left

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife

Ok listen I get that people tagging posts with men is a rule of physics on this hellsite but it's kind of bizarre how badly some of you have failed the assignment on this one. A generic male protagonist archetype who is a man is nothing. That's just the normal cliche I'm talking about subverting. What?

Like if you are For Serious headcanoning your blorbo as a trans woman I am kissing you on the head. But I KNOW most of you are not doing that. Come on. For one dollar name a fictional woman. No being a loser does not make him a woman try again

Probably not the best example, but it did remind me I need to watch The Old Guard 2, even if Rotten Tomatoes does say it sucks

This is like the hardcore nature doc version of Tom & Jerry cartoons where the comparatively enormous lady jumps up on a chair and screams because Jerry's running around on the floor and the guy has to come in and try to murder him with a broom

This show is an accurate portrayal of how artists are hopeless dumbasses and we need a producer type to bring us back to earth to get anything meaningful done and I’m here for it

media literacy includes understanding why a media product was made, to whom it's being sold, and the assumed preferences of its marketing demographic. narrative is not produced or sold in a vacuum.

you might be totally correct that your ship would be narratively satisfying. I don't know, I'm not watching your show. Whether your ship is likely to happen on the show is a whole different question to whether it's satisfying, because the show is being sold to Netflix or Amazon or the BBC, and they are purchasing a show they think they can market to a particular demographic and that demographic isn't you, the nightmarishly online tumblr user. The show is being made for marketability to a constructed average viewer. It is being funded with that audience in mind. This art is being made to commission, and commissioned art is art, but at some point you have to stop expecting the Church to commission a statue of Lucifer fucking St Michael. It might be narratively satisfying, but that's just not what they're paying for.
