#and cotrk is such a great example of one of those classic children’s series#where as a child you don’t even think about the tropes#because of course the villians are ugly / fat / disabled and the ‘good’ kids are all nice and pretty and abled#it’s so embedded in fiction

RIGHT!!!!??? I always felt like I was catching strays when Nimmo describes Dorcas lmao . Like even the most normal evil endowed kid is described as fat with a puffy face. Manfred being described as seriously underweight as a way to make him creepier always stood out to me too. While the most unique things about the good endowed students' appearances are their hair and clothing.

children-of-the-red-queen

the only explicit representations of disability in the series

Billy literally has glasses,,

manfred-apologist

Yeah maybe I should have clarified a mobility-related disability, or rather disabilities more stigmatized than wearing glasses. The class this was for is more focused on the social model of disability rather than literal medical impairment. Like glasses are so common and are sometimes a fashion statement so in most social settings, or fiction, people who wear glasses aren’t treated as or seen as disabled in the same way a wheelchair user or someone with a limp or severe facial scarring is. I thought I’d changed the wording in my final draft but I guess not lol

Also I feel like Dorothy def would be another example of narrative prosthesis but I didn’t have enough brain cells left to rub together by the time I turned this in for that loll. Finals were brutal

#like technically yes there are some #other characters I would say are disabled in different ways #but it didn’t make as much sense to bring them up in this paper #I meant to take that sentence out lol #or the most in your face examples of disability? i don’t really know how to put into words #but there was a difference in how those disabilities were represented versus mobility related and disfiguring disabilities #I was going to talk about the concept of the disability hierarchy but tbh I didn’t have enough time to read up on it enough to apply it here

I made a playlist of songs that narrate Manfred Bloor's life chronologically. It ranges pretty dramatically from teenage angst about his family's high expectations to his sense of entitlement, god complex, fear of abandonment, self-perception, demise, etc

1. Bastille - Blame

Fall upon your knees, sing, "This is my body and soul here"

Crawl and beg and plead, sing, "You've got the power and control"

Don't pin it all on me

2. Imagine Dragons - Natural

You're a natural

A beating heart of stone

You gotta be so cold

To make it in this world

Yeah, you're a natural

Living your life cutthroat

You gotta be so cold

Yeah, you're a natural

3. MARINA - Guilty

I was just a kid

That you could not forgive

Because it's harder

I was just a kid

And all I really wanted

Was my father

4. My Chemical Romance - Mama

She said, "you ain't no son of mine

For what you've done they're

Gonna find a place for you

And just you mind your manners when you go

And when you go don't return to me, my love"

5. REI AMI - Dictator

I am not your queen, I'm your dictator

Bend the fucking knee, yeah bitch that was an order

Whatcha say to me? Huh? Bitch speak louder

You know I reign supreme, nah, you can't imitate her

6. Paramore - Idle Worship

Oh, it's such a long and awful lonely fall

Down from this pedestal that you keep putting me on

What if I fall on my face?

What if I make a mistake?

If it's okay a little grace would be appreciated

7. Temposhark - Don't Mess With Me

...all your heads are gonna roll

I've made your misery my goal

So if you want survival, kneel on my arrival

This is how I rule the world

8. Sixx: A.M. - This Is Gonna Hurt

Listen up, listen up

There's a devil in the church

Got a bullet in the chamber

And this is gonna hurt

Let it out, let it out

You can scream and you can shout

Keep your secrets in the shadows and you'll be sorry

9. Hozier - Arsonist's Lullaby

When I was 16, my senses fooled me

Thought gasoline was on my clothes

I knew that something would always rule me

I knew the scent was mine alone

10. The Neighbourhood - Wires

It kills to know that you have been defeated

I see the wires pulling while you're breathing

You knew you had a reason

It killed you like diseases

I can hear it in your voice while your speaking you can't be treated

Mr. Know-it-all had his reign and his fall

At least that's what his brain is telling all

11. Crusher-P - Again [Gumi English]

I am on fire

A crying, burning liar

Seeing nothing, nothing, but myself

And I'm the one with the lighter

Every inch of me is charred

God, what happened to my heart?

I'm about to fall apart

Again, again

And you're never coming back

And I'm not okay with that

And I should've never let myself get attached

12. Panic! At The Disco - Emperor's New Clothes

Sycophants on velvet sofas

Lavish mansions, vintage wine

I am so much more than royal

Snatch your chain and mace your eyes

If it feels good, tastes good

It must be mine

Heroes always get remembered

But you know legends never die

13. Kanye West - Power

No one man should have all that power

The clock's ticking, I just count the hours

Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power

'Til then, fuck that, the world's ours

14. Avenged Sevenfold - Welcome to the Family

Not long ago you find the answers were so crystal clear

Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear

Can you look at yourself now, can you look at yourself?

You can't win this fight

15. Candle Queen [Gumi English]

Hurt by the flames that burn higher and higher

Clutching a broken crown of fire

All alone in the final scene

The one and only candle queen

What a pity, that candle queen...

COTRK research paper update

info-dumped for 5 days and didn't even turn it in last night bc my brain is so friedddddd and I can't string it together. Transitioning between topics is my enemy. Finishing it now gg

so fun to write a paper about COTRK but now I have to skim every book to actually cite my page numbers and shit after pulling from the COTRK database installed in my head when i was 8

manfred-apologist

pop quiz: does anyone happen to remember which book it is that Dr. Bloor summons all the endowed into his office and calls them freaks

#i guess i could really cite any of them i mean its not like my prof will know

Impossible to reread COTRK without realizing I retconned and woobified the fuck out of Manfred when I was younger lmfao. There are so many scenes where my 8-10 year old self must've gone "hmm nope this doesn't fit my headcanon" and kept it moving. This scene from book 6 is actually chilling to read as an adult omggg

#in moments like these im like ohhh yeah thats why he didn't get a redemption arc #Manfred Bloor #rare Manfred hate post #manfred-judger #cotrk
