when ppl say regina from ouat should've ended the show by retiring in peace to go live with her horses or whatever it's like.......so you want none of what happened to her to have mattered and you want to freeze her in the life she wanted at 18 forever? yes when she was a teenager she didn't want to be the queen because "being the queen" meant marrying her mom's fuckass sixty year old ex. but it happened to her anyway. she was forced to be the queen and then she embraced being the evil queen and then she made herself the mayor of her little groundhog day town and then she was briefly deposed because everyone was mad at her but no one else was good at it so after she had changed for the better she became mayor again and she was happy about it because she liked it and was good at it. and in s7 she guided and taught other women leaders in fairytale world and in the real world she became a community leader who people looked to for answers and advice. her character trajectory is going from sheep to wolf to shepherd, victim to villain to hero, unwilling powerless queen to feared queen who takes power no matter the cost to beloved queen who is given power by the people and who empowers the people in return. that's a good arc! it's a meaningful story! why do so many people who claim to like her want to take it away from her in favor of pretending she's a person she stopped being decades ago?

oh my god it hurts

and it's going to hurt forever

there are some movies where people will be like “I think it needed more female characters :/” but I think the lack of female characters makes complete sense because this is dumbass guy behavior. this is a fool’s plot that the average woman would have handled better or totally avoided. the hubris of men was a core element of the film. not that women cannot be blinded by their own hubris but there is a reason guys are more likely to die in bizarre freak ‘accidents’. I say this as a man. it’s why horror movies with a final girl make sense, a 22 year old guy would be sooooo certain he could take the slasher in combat and die badly.

in a misogynistic society, men are taught from birth that they should be able to dominate others automatically, they often develop the false impression that they are untouchable and capable of defeating any threat. women are repeatedly reminded that they can be harmed and told it is their fault if they are harmed, that makes them more likely to be risk aware and risk averse. again, I’m not saying women cannot do risky things and make boneheaded choices, I’m just saying that it makes more sense for a bunch of men to go on a failed expedition and start killing each other. because they keep doing that.

it’s why the horror trope of the wife repeatedly telling her husband there is something wrong with their new house/they are in danger and the husband totally discounting her worries makes so much sense, similar things happens in real life every day

the "my favorite character did nothing wrong" mindset is completely unappealing to me because i love thinking about all the things my favorite characters did wrong

Lady in drive through had a bearded dragon sitting on her boobs and she held it up and let me pet it. killing myself canceled

doomscrolling tiktok together and I turn to you and ask, "why doesn't your algorithm recommend any videos with Black people?"

disabled ppl we need to start lying to nosy people okay? you tell me i'm too young to need a cane and i will tell you point blank that maybe you should tell that to the guy who ran me over. you don't get an explanation of my health issues you get lies and depending on how much of an asshole i want to be that lie will be anything from a humble car crash to a 1 billion lions attack. mind yr business.

"i could never live like that" well maybe you'll have to because this happened overnight. yeah you heard me i was the most able bodied man in the world but then one morning bam i woke up disabled. yeah you could have that too. there's no cure either you'll just wake up one morning and now you have to live like me

"what happened" well have you ever seen looney tunes? yeah an anvil landed on me and squished me flat.

Betrayed and backstabbed by your scheming evil advisor? Psch. Skill issue. Absolute amateur problem. Just hire two of them and reward them for snitching on each other. Just make sure that neither of them is gay or they'll just end up hate-fucking each other and fucking you over all the same.

"hire two evil advisors but make sure neither of them is gay" are you hearing yourself right now. be serious

they were onto something, they just missed a key point. all evil advisers are gay, so hire one guy and one lady. that way theyll scheme against each other without the risk of them teaming up out of lust.
