IM GETTING BETTER

The reach tadc has is insane. This song is largely known for the version covered by jobby and recontextualized to honor an adult misogynistic queerphobic character. You should be disgusted. This should should be your wake up call. If you still give glitch and goose the benefit of the doubt, you're either in denial or you're okay with giving this song's legacy to racist pedophiles.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

“No.”

And this kid rolls his eyes because DUH and he says “Why not?” all cranky-styles, so I said

“Because you don’t need to go to the bathroom, you’re bored and you need to move. If you need to move, tell me and I’ll let you know if we’re at a part of the test where we can pause. Like, for example, we can pause right now if you wanna race me around the building.”

"I want a gf with autism :3" ok are you prepared to help them with hygiene tasks? Are you gonna help them with laundry and cleaning their room? Are you gonna be patient with them when they're using AAC? Will you comfort them through meltdowns? Or do you just want a gf who talks to you about dinosaurs and has a cute "neurodivergent aesthetic"?

if you want the show to have lore and character arcs but also wrap it up in ten episodes, you have to be mindful of what you use all the screentime for. that doesn’t mean you can’t have any filler at all, it just means you have to either limit the amount of filler or just extend the show.

OTGW does this masterfully within just 10 episodes. it knows how to balance filler and fun while also expanding on the lore in each episode. and the character developments, while not super complicated or extreme, were satisfactory.

Wirt is the only character that gets proper development but it doesn’t feel like they’re taking away the spotlight from other characters to do so. Greg is a little kid so he doesn’t really have much development but he still gets to actually do stuff. Beatrice’s arc is also actually pretty good, going from using the two boys as a pawn to actually caring about them and helping them escape.

and while some things were left to interpretation, the main plot points were wrapped up pretty well. the things that were left to interpretation was the overall nature of the Unknown, the Beast, the people living there, etc.

but even then, there's enough context clues to piece together some of these things. for example, we can conclude that the Unknown is some kind of afterlife, on account of Quincy Endicott being buried in the local graveyard and also the fact that Wirt and Greg nearly died.

Infinity Train also does this really well. we get more lore about the train throughout the show but the character arcs are limited to one season, since each season has a different cast of characters.

Infinity Train is a character-focused show so it gives more attention to the characters, their dynamics and development while dropping nuggets of information about the train in the background.

imagine if ATLA was just about Aang and none of the other characters had any development.

imagine if Gravity Falls was just about Dipper or Mabel, and we never learn anything about Stan or Ford or Soos.

Like are we deadass??? We're okay with racists using black people's art?? We're okay with racists changing the original context of the song?? We're all okay with racists taking a black mans song out of context on juneteenth?!?!?!?

I'll add smth here cos I learned after posting this on IG that people still aren't entirely understanding how scary and dangerous this is. Ppl kept saying to me 'I can still buy your book in shops though' or 'Its okay, I'll order your book into my library!'

I dont give af about my book lol No one outside of Ace ppl ever read it, its yearly sales don't even cover a month of expenses for me.

The thing you should all be concerned about is that a totally benign unheard of book about someone's every day life is being banned. And those laws listed above are passing through US government right now. One of those laws would make it so that any teacher/librarian in the US could lose their job/go to prison for simply sharing 'ideology'- and I don't mean only lgbtq folk, these laws are attacking black history, civil rights history, disability rep in books. Just talking about these things will now legally be considered a 'dangerous ideology'.

And once that's set into law, the US government has backing via law to go ahead and say 'if these books aren't legally allowed in schools, then they shouldn't be allowed in shops, either.' And from there it sets up a great argument for 'The dangerous content in these books is lawfully being removed from public, shouldn't we be lawfully removing the people living out/promoting this ideology too?'

I can see why ppl don't fully understand how dangerous book bannings are, if they're not familiar with the history of fascism. If you're interested, there are plenty of graphic novels that share this history via first hand accounts- Maus, Persepolis, Banned Book Club.

But guess what? You're on limited time to get these via libraries...cos all three of these books are on banned lists too, and they got nothing to do with lgbtq rep, and everything to do with warning ppl about fascism.

And the US government knows it can get away with this, because they are passing these laws as we speak and barely anyone is doing anything about it or talking about it. I've been trying to talk about it for years and no one does anything except say to me 'don't worry, I'll buy your book!' or say its a badge of honour that I have a banned book.

1. Women can be Misogynist

2. Her identity is not a factor in how people feel about her posts about women and how she treats her female characters vs her self insert
