#NO CANT YOU DUMB BITCH

[the-cooler-sidestep]

i've been too sick recently to really pick at any of my coding projects or goals so im filling the computer language shaped hole in my life by digging through the decompiled Fallen Hero source

and now all i want to do in the world is write my own DSL. why. Why! why am i like this

If I think about the double standard and the disparity with which the media handled Daniel in comparison to everyone else I may lose my mind.

genuinely embarrassing how blossomfall gets more fandom sympathy than breezepelt. “boohoo my sister is disabled and my mommy is emotionally abusing her paying more attention to her than me and i hate my stupid ass sister for getting herself disabled and wish she died. also im a grown ass woman.” vs “my dad hit and neglected me as a child and isolated me from my clanmates and it left me maladjusted and seeking validation from terrible sources and its implied hes like this because he’s drooling after the one that got away” like how is this not cut and dry. you cant even soak in the shitty “well breezepelt was a shitty kid” excuse because blossomfall was also shitty before and after the incident. tbh, id argue she’s shittier because breezepelt actually did change his behavior while blossomfall is just as bigoted as ever.

rewatching s1 and in ep2 w*ndigo, dean makes a joke about not bringing provisions into the woods just to pull out a bag of peanut butter m&m’s and stick with me here, it’s why the later seasons’ “goofy dean” loses me

this moment is clearly a joke but if you think about it too much, it also makes some sense; a family size bag of peanut m&m’s is calorie dense and even the high sugar is good to keep you moving which they need on an overnight hunt. it also shows how due to their upbringing, they’ve had to eat lower quality food, things they always had access to that was cheap and also in bulk

what does dean eating ghost pepper jerky then tipping water on himself exist for other than to be a cringy joke? what does smelling old chinese food, testing to see if it's still good then shaking his head with cabbage hanging out his mouth when it isn't serve? it's just to make him look stupid and contrast sam's healthy/clean diet (and superiority but that’s another conversation) which has always existed but it used to be nuanced and natural

we see dean as a child give up the food he wanted to eat so sam could eat it. (“i’m sick of spaghetti-os,” “you’re the one who wanted them,” … “i want lucky charms!” “… there’s only enough for one bowl and i haven’t had any yet!” proceeds to give them to sam, 1x18) we know he hustled and stole food to ensure sam ate. (“so, what’d he take?” “get this- peanut butter and bread.” 9x07)

we also see throughout the early seasons dean teasing sam about his salad or healthy choice while he eats some form of burger or other fast food (or notably, cheerfully eating prison food that sam won’t touch, 2x19). it's typical sibling teasing but it also shows that it isn't new for sam to eat like that and for dean to know he eats like that

sam being picky isn't just a character trait they chose for him, it's a result of how dean raised him; he raised him to like and want healthy food and be food secure enough to reject food he didn't want

but dean eats anything he is given and seeks out unhealthy - cheap, plentiful, filling - food

he is the opposite of picky to the point of it being a consistent bit; they show him multiple times eating when it's socially frowned upon to do so eg. questioning a grieving victim when they're trying to be discreet (1x14, 2x15, 2x18)

a similar moment to the chinese food is in 4x19; dean wakes up in the car while sam brushes his teeth outside and is hungry. sam says there's a sandwich in the backseat, dean smells it and recoils bc it's an old tuna sandwich. the moment is funny on its own but it also exists as a comparison of their lives to adam's; he has a loving mother, goes to school and importantly, a steady stable childhood

it’s a joke with a purpose

it also supports dean's food insecurity; he wakes up and is immediately hungry, enough to complain about it and seek out food before anything else

dean is always hungry bc he never has access to nutritionally rich foods bc he got used to using the money he earned to buy sam's more expensive food. he got used to his cheaper, denser foods and grew up with (and continues to live with) intermittent access to said foods. think of how long it takes to drive from one state to another; how many hours it can take to see another town that offers food, if you arrive at a reasonable enough time for anything to be open. also think how they can’t keep any food beyond what fits in an esky; nothing that needs defrosting, nothing can be heated up. it’s bags and jars and take out for as long as they can trust it

then they get the bunker which has its own kitchen

dean even describes himself as "nesting" when he decorates his room, something he hasn't had since he was four years old, and he uses said kitchen to cook a burger from scratch that he is proud of. he is food secure for the first time in his life and it shows in how often he cooks for both himself and sam

so these moments where they have him acting goofy regarding food are no longer character driven and only exist as a joke which is why they come across as cringy and out of character compared to similar earlier moments

a lot of my issues with dean's characterisation started when they introduced the bunker. the argument can and is made that the reason these jokes happen is bc he feels safe in the bunker, that bc he now has a home he can relax and unmask but that still doesn't feel sufficient. they crank up these sillier moments for both of them, giving them a sort of playing house comedy vibe of two roommates with completely different personalities but it doesn't feel like an authentic progression. it feels forced; an attempt at humour for humour's sake

food stopped being an informed part of their characters and their trauma and instead became flanderised; sam is the judgy vegetarian health nut and dean is his borderline slovenly carnivore counterpart

Again, Anne can’t just put little snippets of wholesomeness in her books and not expect me to making entire works around them, and having now done the research (slept with a dog) I felt prepared to tackle this scene.

[fedorah-the-explorah]

my inability to take anything about "the crackle goes kiwi caper" seriously vs. my adoration for that scene... FIGHT

[beastking-golion]

Am I just not looking hard enough, where’s my raimiverse Peter x MJ x Harry? Where’s the polycule? Why must we exclude MJ? Peter has two hands??

[lesbianralzarek]

not tagging this because i have manners, but while there were absolutely a few people jumping on the wyllstarion train after patch 6 for the sake of "moral highground" like shipping is activism, pretending theres this shipping war going on thats so bloody you need to put that take in the tags is weak shit and you would not have survived any prior era of fandom culture. are the legions of aggressive wyll stans hellbent on ruining your fun in the room with us right now? the wyllstarion tag updates, like, 5x a day. you can literally just block all of us

[coloursfalllikesnow]

periodically i find myself dragged back onto the hellscape that is the SCP TVTropes page and it reminds me how awful gamers against weed are. they're like AWCY? but a billion times more cringe

[notaclassicist]

there's nothing that amazes (derogatory) me more than the fact that americans hear "taxes" and go on red alert but hear "tariffs" and think yay, the world is finally giving us what we deserve! NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHAT TARIFFS WERE YOUR ABSOLUTE LACK OF SELFLESSNESS AND ACTIVE DESIRE FOR OTHERS TO SUFFER WOULD HAVE YOU RIOTING IN THE STREET

[redysetdare]

I don't like the idea of grayfiire solely because firestar deserves someone so much better than graystripe. Also i just hate graystripe with a burning passion.

i hate the “it’s okay to say you’re uneducated about geopolitical conflicts” argument. bitch at this point: no it’s not. Palestinian people have been occupied for decades before you were born. at some fucking point you have to wake up and read a singular news article. you are 20 fucking years old or older but seeing people say “hey instead of making thinkpieces about how it’s okay to be ignorant, you should spend that time researching and have an opinion on a genocide maybe” makes you uncomfortable so you scroll quickly past any post abt Israel and hide your eyes and write your paragraphs about how it’s valid to be uneducated <3
