I fucking loved Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. It was such a fantastic movie and fit in so well with the first.
But like...Beetlelyds shippers...did we watch the same movie?
Lydia's whole arc dealt with how the first movie's events traumatized her. If you pay attention to her expressions throughout, whenever Beetlejuice is brought up or they interact, she's either disgusted, terrified, or both.
Especially in the wedding scene. That's not romantic, it's creepy, and it's deliberately played as such.
"Oh but he kept a picture of her at his desk for 30 years!"
Yeah...a picture of her teenage self...
"Oh but Winona Ryder ships it!"
I don't care. I love Winona Ryder, but her stance on it doesn't change my opinion.
There are even parallels between Jeremy (who is explicitly a villain and tricks Astrid) and Beetlejuice: Jeremy's outfit color scheme matching Beetlejuice's wedding outfit, Jeremy and Astrid floating like Beetlejuice and Lydia in the wedding scene, etc.
I know I'm probably not gonna change any minds here, but like...media literacy is so important and Beetlelyds shippers are proof
people in fanfiction are so good at identifying v specific smells. I literally struggle to identify vanilla when Iโm sniffing a candle labelled โVANILLAโ how are these kids getting woodsmoke, rain, mint, and a whiff of byronic despair from a fuckin tshirt
Once I read a fic where they were like โhe tasted likeโ and Iโm expecting the typical formula (1 cooking ingredient + 1 natural phenomenon + โsomething uniquely [character name]โ) but instead they said โhe tasted like mouthโ and it was one of the greatest fic moments of my life

sire this is 10 note post territory and 7 are me
THEY'RE RATIOING ME IN MY TUMBLRS
Yo! Autistic-fuckwad!!! I saw you on Pinterest once!!!
YOURE TELLING ME THEY PUT ME ON PINTEREST???
this post keeps getting funnier sometimes. its such an amalgam. yes my name is Autistic Fuckwad
it's so funny to me that conservatives think the reason university students become more liberal is because of the actual course material and not like. the fact that universities in the US introduce are oftentimes the first place Americans are introduced to a walkable environment with affordable health care, with community spaces for any affiliation under the sun where they give you free resources and cheap food. with included public transit and opportunities for training in your field of choice. and you realize that for how much you're spending on tuition/taxes, yeah, you do deserve these things, it would be insane not to have those. and then you graduate and go back to having to buy a car to drive 20 minutes to the grocery store.
It's also one of the first places a lot of people raised in insular, conservative areas meet "the other". People of other ethnicities and cultures, people of other religions, other gender presentations, sexualities, etc. You get to know them and start realizing how much of what you "knew" about them was myth or straight-up propaganda.
It's a lot harder to demonize queer people when the person helping you pass calculus is a trans woman, or your lab partner talks about his boyfriend exactly the same way you talk about yours. It's a lot harder to believe that immigrants are out to get you when your Hindu roommate cheerfully shares a care package of homemade goodies from home, or Malia down the hall covers your lunch because you forgot to bring your wallet to study group. You start rethinking some assumptions when the 6 foot spike-encrusted goth who sits behind you in lecture hall shows everyone photos of his baby niece dressed like a puppy for Halloween with all the pride of a new parent, and you remember when your flannel and camo-wearing uncle did the same thing at work last year with photos of your little sister.
Suddenly all those "others" are just people. They're your friends, classmates, coworkers, and maybe even romantic interests. And that's a lot harder to hate or fear.
cis women do not feel safe around you i promise lol do you know how many cis women plan on voting for trump this time because they cant stand people like you
BWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
Thisss I think this is something more people need to just realize.
Thereโs such a push for trans people to make themselves โsafeโ or โpalatableโ for cis women.
Trans men canโt be too masculine bc it makes cis women โuncomfortableโ. Trans women canโt use womenโs spaces bc it makes cis women โfeel unsafeโ. Trans men canโt use gender neutral langue for reproductive/menstrual care bc cis women feel โuncomfortableโ with it. Trans women canโt call themselves lesbians bc cis women โdont feel safeโ .
Like who cares. Cis women arenโt the center of the universe. And thereโs nothing I can do to make cis women feel โsafeโ around me without being a doormat they can walk all over. Me just existing as a trans man who is open about it and doesnโt let them misgender me makes them โuncomfortableโ so Iโve decided to just not care what cis women think about me.
