if I had a nickel for every time a beloved piece of franchise media that I felt really captured something special was followed up by a sequel that’s grander in scale but utterly devoid of or even antithetical to the themes of its predecessor. I would have 3 nickels. and that’s enough to write a whole video essay.

I think reality TV shows should switch hosts for just one episode

Because imagine RuPaul hosting Survivor? He would have the time of his LIFE

Kudos to Arcane and the locked tomb series for both showing that sometimes after a queer break up one person becomes gay Jesus. It just happens sometimes

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

Hiiii not to be petty or anything but if you wholeheartedly like convicted felons, rapists, racists, misogynists, homophobes and fascists, and deem them worthy of leading a whole ass country despite everything they are and have done, please don’t follow me???? Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

Hey, I wanna talk about how we do fandom! I've come to realize that I, personally, tend to differ from many others in that I highly prefer to only engage with a text as it's written, so I don't tend to really like fanon/extremely ooc characterizations and I find it hard to get invested in ships that aren't canon. My way of doing fandom isn't better or worse than anyone else's, but I am curious about how much of a minority I'm in! So:

*We've all seen ships of characters not from the same media and stuff like shipping the concept of ennui with the color blue, okay, I'm asking what you, personally, find compelling!
