I'm Losing My Mind But This Time It's Funny

The concept of Madeline actually being eurydice and Claudia orpheus

you need to do a little dance in the kitchen. it is vitally important for your health that you do a little dance in the kitchen. you understand

not to "trying to be chill but can't help noticing how misogyny bleeds through the cracks etc etc" but once you realize that almost none of the cute disney comic relief sidekicks are women you can't unsee it. like that thing only exists to do some slapstick and look cute for plushies. why can't it be a woman. why are ALL of them he/him. it's driving me fucking insane

I would like to formally apologize to everyone. I had no idea what consequences my actions would create but I should have been more careful anyway. I should have remembered this is a Genie Website and I should have clarified that when I want more female nonhuman comedic relief characters, I did not mean I wanted Olaf the Snowman to have an intensely heterosexual love interest in Frozen 3. I will do my best to go through each post with a team of lawyers going forwards to ensure this never happens again.

i saw this somewhere else but reply / tag what you did today so everyone can see that we all did something different today

On a rewatch it's obviously not a surprise, but one of my favorite things about Black Sails S1 is that everybody else (not unreasonably!) handles Flint like a loaded gun and meanwhile Miranda is not afraid of him at all. Genuinely dangerous men carry themselves differently the moment he enters a room, and yet when he shouts in her face she doesn't even flinch. It's absolutely fascinating to watch as a viewer who doesn't know yet what exactly is going on

louis de pointe du lac would be soooo susceptible to ai psychosis. this man is renaming claude to claudia. i am sorry but it's the truth

the fact that on my way out of seeing the hadestown proshot with my sibling i was walking to the theater exit and without even thinking about it i turned around to see where they were... yeah. yeah.

like. you can be frustrated at orpheus. you can be heartbroken for orpheus and eurydice. you should be. but when you're walking together and your loved one isn't right next to you that instinct to turn around and check on them is as natural as breathing

your favorite iwtv character says a lot about you. mine is the vampire armand and this is because i am a bad person

call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support

and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?
