Trash, But Quality Trash

People acting like Kiriona Gaia was way too mean to be Gideon are so funny to me. GtN Gideon thought Ortus' mom having a breakdown over the possibility of losing her only son was peak entertainment

in the hellish alternate universe where tlt is a shitty cishet ya series, the first book is called “a house of bones and blood”. gideon is a cis man and harrow is marketed as a “feminist prince zuko redemption arc”. griddlehark make out during the pool scene but harrow still can’t get over her feelings for palamedes, who explodes later on in the book to save harrow from cytherea. camilla, the Strong Woman Character, breaks down and cries and loses her sense of purpose. in book 2, “a house of spirits and secrets”, cis man ianthe manages to capture harrow’s heart, to the ire of palamedes and gideon’s ghosts, until the end of the book when jod breaks ianthe’s evil spell on harrow. camilla returns to bring harrow to blood of eden, the evil terrorist rebel group that all of jod's lyctors joined. jodybeth is the only canon queer pairing but it’s not confirmed until after they both die in the final book, "a house of love and loyalty". harrow escapes blood of eden and fights off the villainous camilla (who hates harrow out of jealousy for palamedes being in love with harrow and not her), who then tries to kill gideon, who has come back to life completely intact for no reason. jod fights off camilla and then dies to save his son gideon, who then becomes emperor and seamlessly unites the nine houses and blood of eden. the series ends with gideon and harrow's marriage and the birth of their infant son who is set to inherit the entire universe and can already form a perfect kidney. imperialism is never discussed or even recognized by the author. all of the characters are white except judith and camilla. the series is a number one new york times bestseller for three years in a row. it immediately gets greenlit for a netflix series.

I’m back on tumblr with worse opinions than ever

Never mind I hate the new formatting goodbye again

jobu tupaki is such an effective way of depicting that specific depression of being in your 20s and knowing you can do anything but also knowing that knowing that means any decision you make cuts you off from an infinite number of possible realities… like every step forward also feels like a step in the wrong direction because it technically is when you’re juggling every potential consequence at once and it narrows your life down to just a matter of surviving and trying to focus on the few things that don’t make you feel like a failure and you start to see the loss of will to really live as the inevitable result to your own unstoppable loss of potential. and of course being a gay child of immigrants makes it even easier for joy to feel like there’s no future she can pursue where everything turns out okay enough to have made the effort worth it. and then contrasting that with evelyn’s reality that she is the version of herself where every decision has been the wrong one that has led her away from doing anything remarkable with her life but it’s still a life where trying is worth something, as long as she can still find people to love and things to fight for… yeah

how joy says she’s tired of hurting and when she and her mom are together they hurt each other so she has to leave but she spent her entire time as jobu tupaki chasing after a version of her mom who would finally get her 😵‍💫

i know she is a villain but she is a lesbian and she killed a bunch of cops (including beating one to death with two dildos), so i think we should stan jobu tupaki

Everything Everywhere All At Once says ADHD is a superpower, being an immigrant caught between two worlds is a superpower, being gay saves the multiverse, and villains look like cops, IRS agents, and entitled white women with corgis.

everything everywhere all at once really said 'actually love is the answer' with their whole damn chest

no because when everything everywhere all at once said “‘alone I’m useless’ ‘everyone’s useless alone. good thing we’re not alone.’” and “in another life, i would have loved to have just done laundry and taxes with you” and “you think i am naive. i’ve been alive just as many years as you. this [love] is how i fight” and “of all the places i could be, I just want to be here with you” and-

No Way Home was the closest Marvel Studios has come to giving us Peter Parker. Not a knock-off Miles who relies on a billionaire, but Peter Parker. Peter, the kid who is “the most famous person in the world but still broke”. The kid who fights for the common man, who will never stop seeing the good in people. With his new tech-free suit from the end of film it seems that Peter is restarting his journey as Spiderman. No special nanotech. No crazy AI. Just a broke kid with a sewing machine and relentless optimism. I really hope to see an accurate Peter Parker in future films. Because I love that Peter.
