So glad people are talking more and more about Spock getting aggressively hetwashed bc this has been bothering me BADLY for at least twelve years now and as long as people keep talking about it maybe future generations will be less welcoming of this characterization of our misfit Mr Spock

make that character aroace. NOW!

aromanticism is everywhere if you're brave enough to see it

“If I had a dick I would stack donuts on it” well donut holes exist and you have a pussy so………?Get to filling

gonna try this brb

yeast infection

Sorry

I'm silly. what do I do about this

go fucking apeshit

that sounds fun, but maybe later :)

characters going “we were lovers once”: eh, it’s okay i guess. it’s nice enough

characters going “we were friends once”: absolutely devastating. one hit knockout i’m gone

how dare the item of clothing i developed a weird attachment to and have worn almost every single day since i bought it start to show signs of wear

“that character is problematic” i am sick and twisted. next

“that character is irredeemable” god i hope so. i hope they get worse

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

The thing that gets me about the impending Harry Potter show is like. I'm able to, for entirely hypothetical purposes, put aside my disdain and disgust for the author's full-tilt bigotry and put myself in the shoes of someone who's still a Fan, like I would be if the author hadn't doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on being a full-tilt bigot, and even then, imagining the alternate universe where JKR remained a staunch ally and well-meaning if clueless liberal philanthropic darling, I still can't quite wrap my head around why I'd want this show to be made

Everyone keeps saying it's going to be a Faithful Adaptation Of The Series and I'm just like... okay? This isn't A Series Of Unfortunate Events that got a bad adaptation and they had to go back and try again to get it right. The majority of fans liked and continue to like the movies, a lot, and despite some minor quibbles here and there, they're considered incredibly faithful adaptations. The Fandom isn't exactly divided on this, either.

Like, I imagine a nearby alternate timeline where JKR was never hit by the Idiot Stick That Makes You Hate Women and remained normal, and I remained a fan of a flawed but influential children's fantasy series, and I can't really think of a reason why I would be excited about them trying to make lightning strike a second time. Are people really that mad about Michael Gambon saying "Harry did you put your name in the goblet of fire" animatedly instead of calmly? Or is WB just worried that the incoming demographic of theme park attendees have nowhere near the nostalgic link to the series that millennials would, and that if they don't inject the series back into the zeitgeist, the golden goose might stop laying eggs?

If JK Rowling hadn't gone full terf and this remake was happening then we'd all be wearily rolling our eyes at yet another carriage being hitched to the endless train of unnecessarily remade hits that nobody wants. People would be joking about "they're making a live action Harry Potter now" (the joke of course being that the previous one was also live action this time so they don't even have the normal excuse). People would revive old comparisons of Lion King shots and Mulan shots and put up Harry Potter ones next to them and joke about how expressive the animation is in the original. I can't see any world in which anyone would want this.

If I still was a HP fan (which I haven't been in years) I would actually love a good adaptation bc from movie one onward (so, when I was like, 10) I hated every single movie. These movies put me off most book adaptations forever. I have never and do not understand why people consider these movies good adaptations (and why everyone liked Alan Rickman as Snape so much). It's beyond me. I couldn't watch them even if JKR wasn't... well. JKR.

The difference between "Vegeta is sleeping" and "Vegeta is sleeping".

Only Bulma knows it, because only she ever gets to see it. (She's sometimes sleep-deprived bc she watches (over) him all night long.)

“can mutuals dm you?” my mutuals can fire me from a cannon through a brick wall, looney tunes style. as long as we’re all having fun
