Community | 3x10 "Regional Holiday Music"

If we win regionals, then it's straight on to sectionals. And then a week later is semis. Then semiregionals. Then regional-semis. Then national lower-zone semis! Oh. But I kinda thought this was … You know. Just for Christmas. No, no, no! This is forever. This is what we do now. This is who we are.

OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH

The Best Revenge Is Dressing Well (1x05)

[blackoutdays13]

One of my favorite things about the umbrella academy is how all of the characters are flawed in some way. Yes that’s how most characters are, but it’s much more normalized in this show. I can see people defend a characters actions and make a huge fight out of it, but it doesn’t matter cause they are still flawed. You can’t try to romanticize them and make them seem perfect cause they aren’t. I hope this makes sense. I’m just tired of perfection.

Diego's face when the vet told Diego he wants Klaus to apologise got me feeling so silly, my man just knew that wasn't going to happen.

my screenwriter skills and the fact i live in seattle will hopefully come in clutch when i write season 4 of the umbrella academy and cast local icon aiden gallagher to play five. good thing this hasn’t already been done by and bigger production company that completely fucked it up, that would definitely suck.

You know, sometimes a family is you, your wife who sees ghosts, an optimistic scout leader who got shot in the neck with an arrow at a camp, a poet from the 1700s (maybe) whose poetry sucks, a astonishingly cheerful and oblivious woman who likes everyone, a very gay and very repressed WW2 officer, a decapitated head and body who are separate entities, a woman burned for witchcraft, a caveman with a vague grasp on the English language, a disgraced politician who did not die fully clothed and the old rather judgemental and traditional ghost of your wife's distant relative

And some ghosts who died of the plague who live in the basememt

And also a ghost pigeon

I knew you,

stepping on the last train, marked me like a blood stain, I-

I knew you, tried to change the ending, Peter losing Wendy, I-

I knew you, leaving like a father, running like water, I-

but when you are young they assume you know nothing

Alison Frasier & Chip Zien, March of the Falsettos 1982

[artemx746]

(Just copying this from my frustrated-with-the-pjo-fandom induced ramblings on the ta server + al lot more more shit than I expected to write)

I think the main pjo fandom has such a misunderstanding of why Alison might be bad for the show

It's not because she's a new character, I honestly think a new character could be good for the show, but it's because the pjo show team has already shown a fundamental misunderstanding of what pjato should be at its core (that being disability). Alison will most likely only prove what we already knew: that being the show not actually knowing what to do with pjo

Gonna be straight up here, I don't think any of these arguments against Alison are really about the fact she's a new character, season one had plenty of changes that a lot of people were fine with despite them not really making sense (why was Annabeth there for Luke's betrayal). They're because she's a new ta character and that'll either lead to the fandom confronting the fact that they've had a bias against the ta characters for literally no reason (Percy destroyed a bridge and blew up a boat, chb also had child soldiers) or their deep rooted sexism against barely morally gray women without stripping them of their agency.* The only fear I kinda get is that Alison will end up replacing one of the ta characters but unless you're a diehard Kelli fan I don't think there's really much to worry about, I'm not saying she'll replace Kelli as a Luke love interest but rather an 'evil bossy woman' type so they don't need to animate Kelli's hair.

The only thing I'm worried about is the lack of disability. I've rambled about this before on the ta server** but Alison is most likely going to be a child of a minor god, and while I do want more minor god kids, the minor god's kids represent a very important part of the disability metaphor, that being disability hierarchies specifically being detrimental against people with physical disabilities and people with stigmatised mental illnesses (npd bpd schizophrenia etc) . Alison has an open casting, and while that would usually be fine for any other character I doubt they'll cast someone with a physical disability and I highly doubt they'll cast someone with a stigmatised mental illness. So you either have: an abled bodied person acting like they have a disability OR a ruined metaphor and Ethan's eye was lost for nothing.

Ta server ramblings under the cut

*Me: considering how this fandom treats women I do not wanna see them if Alison is in the book. They can't handle Silena without stripping her down to "UwU poor manipulated girl" I do not wanna see them with Alison

making it out that Silena was just in love with Luke and he manipulated her is a) reaffirming the sexist stuff about aphrodite kids and b) robs Silena of her agency to make decisions that she ends up regretting

**Me: Honestly hate when people act like it was just Percy who got the minor gods cabins, buddy did the metaphor go over your That Much. The reason it had to be Percy was because he represents people who already have resources speaking out for those who don’t because they’re more respected. That applies to both Percy and Luke. Percy was not the reason for it it was Ethan,

There is a Reason why Ethan was the first named demigod child of a minor god and he had a physical disability, it has a mythic reason like all of the others but it is still a disability. Ethan represents the metaphor in the minor god demis, that being hierarchies in disabled communities

(this is another reason why I'm scared for Alison in s2 because she's probably going to be a child of a minor god)

what I'm really worried about is they either: make Alison physically disabled and kill her off (killing off all* your physically disabled characters rick how fun)

OR

make her able bodied and the metaphor is lost unless they explicitly say she has another stigmatised mental disability which they will not

*I don't count the kid from toa since he's a background character mentoned once and hephaestus was pretty much disabled in the myths so not rick's

okay end of ramblings jesus christ
