yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldn’t have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandma’s house. don’t worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

the time to be a mean dyke is now. be a killjoy feminist and take things too seriously, we’ve been too nice about girl math and girl dinner and pink jobs and the general infantilization of women and it’s gotten us nowhere. be a buzzkill now, for our future and our dignity

a. dean always gets the time travel eps bc his archetype is anachronistic

b. dean quotes 'blazing saddles', dresses up as a tacky costume party version of a cowboy, and calls himself Clint Eastwood in Frontierland; he's reciting their own mythos back to them (and they don't even recognize it)

c. in Time After Time dean quotes 'the untouchables' to actual real Elliot Ness, the guy the movie was based on, and later, when Elliot Ness chastises him for hitting a witness (played for laughs obviously), he says "what? I learned it from watching you." which is something a son says to his father in an anti-narcotics PSA in the 80s. positioning Elliot Ness as father. and furthermore. he didn't learn shit from watching Elliot Ness he learned it from watching the distorted movie parody of Elliot Ness. he's parodying a parody.

d. in In the Beginning Dean talks young John into buying the impala instead of the van he was abt to buy, bc vans are lame and gay, obviously and the Impala is cool and masc and will still be cool and masc in 40 years. "my dad taught me everything I know." he is teaching his father how to construct his own mythos in real time. dean (parody of john's masculinity) is teaching his own father how to be masculine. ouroboros. reciting his own mythos back to him. as he looks on in blank incomprehension.

Your English teacher and gym teacher are getting married is such a hauntingly bleak glimpse into the lives of heterosexual women

there's something in the fact that mac assumes that freddie mercury was 100% straight because he only perceives him as masculine and tough while dennis assumes that freddie mercury was 100% gay because he only perceives him as flamboyant and camp. neither of them recognise the nuance of his identity just like they don't recognise nuance in their own. mac can only be gay or a badass, not both. dennis can only be into women or in an openly sexual relationship with mac, not both.
