Despite being a near-constant pop culture staple for fifty years, Scooby-Doo has managed to keep their main cast pretty much the same as in its original conception. Fred is the leader and trap guy, Velma’s the brain, Shaggy and Scooby are the comedic cowardly foodies. The exception to this rule is Daphne, who has had a completely different personality in each major incarnation of the show- a multitalented badass in What’s New Scooby-Doo, a rich little brat in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, an eclectic weirdo in Be Cool, Scooby-Doo... so on an so forth. This change occurs because while the rest of the gang’s personalities have strong presence in the 1969 series, Daphne’s personality in the original cartoon was “hot girl.” This goes to show how boiling a character’s entire existence down to their gender and/or appearance leads to characters being bland and one-dimensional, and as in the case with Scooby-Doo, this poor writing happens most often to female characters. In this essay I will

i have this writing style i like to call “uncertain.” it’s where the narrator isn’t really sure what they’re talking about either

That is so powerful and I want to write a short story in this style now thank you

“the park had been there for as long as i’d lived there, i think. i couldn’t be sure. i was never one to go to the park anyway” nobody has any clue what’s going on

self aware unreliable narrator

makes me CRAZY how well atla illustrates all the different ways countries can be affected by colonization and imperialism…the air nomads wiped out in a relatively brief military campaign. the southern water tribe slowly worn down and violated over the course of decades. the northern water tribe completely isolating and turning to strict tradition in the face of a horrifying enemy. the decentralized earth kingdom being affected in varying ways, with some areas completely untouched but terrified that they’ll be next, some areas in an uneasy peace with the fire nation in exchange for economic domination, and some areas completely taken over. and just the ways that these kind of interplay…like the trauma katara and sokka have as people who live relatively safe from invasion, but with the threat of another raid always on the horizon, terrified that the next one will wipe them out for good, is completely different from the trauma aang has, as someone who lost everything and didnt witness the brutality, only its aftermath, and that’s completely different from the trauma that suki has, with kyoshi out of the war but constantly training in preparation for an invasion, and thats completely different from the trauma haru has, as an earthbender in an actively occupied village. and theres so much more too like theres all these complex and nuanced situations and none are objectively better or worse than the other but it shows exactly how many tools imperialism uses to demoralize and defeat those its directed against

It also shows tha trauma war has done to the imperialists. Their homeland is polluted from the industrialization that’s allowed them 100 years of war. Their people have lost the nuances of their culture, everything “traditional” is actually a hundred years old or less. The people have forgotten how to dance, and the economy revolves around war and colonialism. The government and ruling class is corrupt and oppressive.

the juxtaposition..,,..,is really astounding

Did you guys know Elon Musk sent that STUPID car into space without sterilizing it, and if it hadn’t gone off it’s intended path, and it had reached mars as he intended, it could have permanently ruined the search for life on Mars by contaminating the red planet with Musk‘s cooties. This may sound silly to you but I assure this is very real and serious. He could have ruined the entire field of astrobiology all for his stupid advertisement. Let’s kill him

Capitalist innovation ☺️
