The writers seem to think nobody’s ever seen ‘Scooby Doo’

when one of the characters suggests, ‘Let’s split up!’

The stay-at-home-mom!Alicent agenda or whatever in modern rhaenicent fics is so interesting because in the show only one of them was a sahm…and it wasn’t Alicent.

i understand there still is many shallow and bad faith criticisms directed at the early disney princesses because pointing out how they don't measure up as well to today's standards became easy clickbaity talking point, a sentiment that is being repurpused by disney in order to promote their more recent movies as being 'not like the other ones' because their princesses are girlbosses now when they're not outright attempting to correct the original movie in their shitty remakes. everyone rightfully is sick of it by this point, and that's definitely happening to the upcoming snow white remake too right now, but. seeing some of the reactions to it, i do think that we have circled back to overcorrecting when it comes to this this resulting in equally baffling takes about these characters being common right now.

i mean yeah, rachel zegler saying that her snow white dreams of being a leader instead of being with the prince because she's a girlboss now is not good, but that doesn't mean that the original movie version of her wasn't this bizarre idealized vision of what a perfect woman should be and act like. we can argue that she was a young abused girl all we like, defend and analyze her portrayal through these lenses, but at the end of the day, snow white is just not a real person. and she was quite explicitly written to represent something - the ideal woman - and that something does have a lot to say about the culture that created her, which traits were valued in women at the time (youth, purity, passivity, motherly nature, the very white skin that's in her name), and it doesn't look great. as much as we like to make fun of modern disney, it's still ridiculous to ignore something as obvious as that about their older films, i think

The fact that I can’t write elaborate essays and reblog fan art about my own dnd game is a crime

Hihihi I'm here with another opinion. And its thats Other Bill is a dumbass.

Other Bill really though familiar Bill was weak because he was playing house with a human. So what if he's domesticated? Does he not realize that this is a version of himself who actually has something to lose. He's the most dangerous!! :/

Other Bill's thought process kinda went like this:

This Bill is Soft for this guy! It's clear when you look at the human's reactions - and even in the environment! All the context pointed right towards some domesticated moron.

And Soft Emotionally = Soft Everywhere = Soft Target. No threat at all!

Clearly this was some whimpering, wailing, quivering, pathetic Bill, that would fold under a bit of pressure. Honestly, he'd be doing the multiverse a favor getting rid of that guy! Squishing (or stealing) his (admittedly cute) human would be a fine precursor to putting him down.

Other Bill did not expect a Bill who was, well. Still very Bill. The mistake he made was thinking that because Bill went soft in one single place - that he'd gone all jello-like everywhere. Classic overgeneralization. Along with a lot of egocentric cognitive biases.

The other dumb thing Other Bill pulled was not changing his plan.

He could have course-corrected when Familiar Bill reemerged- even that first interaction showed him he wasn't dealing with a total pushover - but he figured, hey! If one dumb human could ruin this guy, what could he possibly do against another Bill?

And then he found things out the hard way.

Fandom be normal about bi women challenge (impossible. apparently.)

i'm probably aromantic but i dont want to confront that right now

I'm gonna be real guys idk how much whimsey and postivity I got left in me. It's not looking great lads.

I love that steve is in dbd because I do not have to give a shit about stranger things itself to get new material of him. I can just explore what his adventures in the entity's realm might be.

The older I get and longer I’m in fandom, the more I realize that, most of the time, things really are just not that deep

Meta is fun and a great way to engage with canon… it can help you see a story in a new light. But when it starts slipping from typical media criticism to “the creator is ‘literally’ a nazi” you have got to stop, look in the mirror, and say… I will not engage with ragebait… I will not engage with ragebait… I will not engage with ragebait…

Remember when not feeding the trolls was a staple of internet sanity, and channel whatever inner strength remains to realize extreme views represented in meta are rarely grounded or in good faith, and drowning in things that make you angry is bad for your health and bad for your nuanced media critique skills.

Just… breathe… let it go… and click block

I NEED A MOMENT

everything always peaks me. then im on the other side, see so much hostility, just as bad as what peaked me, and its like nvm. damn. oscillation at its finest.....

.

i just never seem to be able to connect with people the way others do not as deeply as personal as freely as intellegently i don't say the right things i don't know the right things i don't think the right things and i get so caught up that deficiency

Every day I want to smoke and every day I don't because I know that beyond the arch of juvenile, relieving self-abandonment, is actual self-destruction, and there's nothing good about fracturing your ability to enjoy being alive (let alone, like, stay being alive). But when it's already difficult to connect with the 'enjoyment' part (to feel it at all, to feel you deserve it or to even believe it exists, sometimes), and you *also* take away the self-abandonment, you sort of have... nothing left going for you except the effort of self-betterment. And that's, y'know. Hard.

im sorry but all the advice taylor gives in dear reader SLAPS
