I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who’s the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn’t a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don’t read stuff you don’t want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.

There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.

Movie Archives - Practical Magic (1998); “Sometimes I feel like there’s a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there’s a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing… I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don’t know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don’t want to believe it but, there is no man, Gilly. Only that moon.”

I love how new hobbies just make you notice things that would otherwise go completely over your head. I’ve only been knitting for about a month, but now I can’t help but look more attentively at the clothes people wear. I used to never pay attention to any of that, but now I find myself appreciating how certain sweaters drape so nicely and being proud of recognising how different items must have been made! Gosh it took so so so little to change how I see the world around me. I wonder how many other things I’m completely missing

Suddenly thinking of 1989’s The Little Mermaid and you know what, give Eric some props here because he had the weirdest fucking hour of his life—

Wakes up from hypnosis where he was about to marry a woman he’s never seen before with his mystery girl’s voice, the instant he wakes up then the cute girl he’s actually fallen in love with now has that voice. Then she drops to the floor and has a fish tail, and then the first girl is suddenly cackling “too late!” and bursting out of her skin. So it turns out she’s actually an octopus woman who drags herself over to the real mystery girl - who’s a mermaid?! They’re real?! - and taking her back into the ocean. And Eric has no idea what’s going on here but okay, one of these women is clearly evil and he needs to go after his mystery girl.

And all of this happens/he realizes what he has to do within like, a single minute.

Prior to this he was just living out a sweet romance after having a Meet Cute with a shipwrecked girl, but okay, guess he’s involved in whatever the fuck this is. Acting first, questioning later.

And this is all before the kaiju attacks.

And let's also remember that Eric is one of the few Disney heroes who actively, deliberately murdered the villain.

He went "Okay then" and killed.

disgruntledexplainer

I would say killed the villain, not murdered. Murder implies that it was premeditated and out of malice. Eric was defending his girlfriend's life while Ursula was attempting to murder her. He was well and fully justified in his actions.

angelfishcake

In legal terms, 1st degree murder is any murder that is premeditated, even if the premeditation was only for a minute. 2nd degree murder involves no premeditation but resulting in a deliberate action to cause harm. 3rd degree/manslaughter is purely accidentally and/or a result of gross negligence.

With this in mind, it's safe to say that Eric did murder Ursula, as he deliberately steered the ship to impale her with the bowsprit, but would be pardoned on account that he was defending the life of another (Ariel).

THIS IS ALSO TRUE.

As someone who knew literally nothing about witch hat atelier before watching the anime I can't get over how funny how they introduced Olruggio. We hear NOTHING about this man and just are led to believe that Qifrey is the only one in charge of the atelier for ALMOST HALF OF THE FIRST SEASON. Then suddenly in episode 6 we find out that not only is there another guy who oversees the atelier but that this is the guy that is meant to ensure Qifrey DOESN'T GET UP TO ANYTHING. So Coco's first introduction to this man is him going 'Qifrey you had ONE JOB while I was gone'

Truly one of the funniest character introductions of all time

'why is that even allowed'

This is hate. Stop it, or you will be blocked. This is your only warning. Please read my rules: https://www.tumblr.com/haletostilinski/818920932197482496/i-asked-you-guys-voted-the-next-poll-a-best-mm?source=share NO hate is tolerated. It's allowed because it's fiction and there's no judgement here. You can deal with it or leave (or get blocked).

jaxon-cross

It was a rhetorical question and I wasnt insulting anyone but okay!!,,

haletostilinski

"fiction ain't no excuse buh sureee"

This is exactly why it wasn't "rhetorical" and why I gave you a warning. "why is that even allowed" is absolutely hate and not tolerated (calling it evil borders on it too but I can see it used in a funny ha ha not serious way. Depends on the intent. The "ew" is definitely hate too). And you showed that further with this response trying to shove off responsibility and saying further in the tags which just shows me your true feelings. So my warning to you was absolutely necessary.

If you can't respect my rules - which yes, fiction is *not real* but I don't feel like getting into a debate with an anti today - then you leave or get blocked, very simple.

#‘it was rhetorical and I wasn’t insulting anyone’#I don’t think you know what either of those words mean #also: voted.#hysterically unsurprised by the results so far #learn your history etc etc #casting spell of ‘if you dont like it its not for you theres no morality in fiction’#tldr is ‘have fun’

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.
