honestly i know elon musk is the man of a thousand evil things but i think one of his most unforgivable crimes was taking the only company that ever made a consumer electric car that was cool, and forcing them to make shitty botoxed sedans
We're entering an era where you go on Netflix and watch a cartoon toucan sing a song about nonbinary identity and then the autoplay puts on Dave Chappelle's Kill All Faggots Comedy Special. When you're done with that you can go to Target and buy a coffee mug that says "they/them" on it and if you go in the wrong bathroom the store manager is legally required to kill you. So like can we dispense with the notion that queer media representation has any correlation with how things are in the real world for anyone, or that it means literally anything at all?
I think the cool thing about Benoit Blanc is how he is never, in his mind and on screen, the hero. He is the helper. He puzzles things out. But as he tells Helen, there's a limit to what he can do.
Actually, no, that's not even true. He COULD have blown up the house with Klear himself. He COULD have proved Ransom was responsible without also proving to Marta that she is, in fact, a good nurse. But it was Helen's vengeance to take, and it was Marta's house to claim, and he knows that he's a guest in their stories.
Lmao you’re an adult, you shouldn’t be using the word squick. Use trigger. Use your grown up adult words to explain how you feel instead of leaning on a cutesy uwu term that no one outside of tumblr uses. It’s embarrassing.
My favorite thing about fanfic authors is they can identify any gap in a canon timeline where characters are offscreen and exploit the ever living fuck out of it
