I think the whole "misha wanted in TW and I said were good thanks" was such a dick move. And jensen is soooo proud for some reason? For being mean to his friend and hurting his feelings? Jared is obviously embarrassed by the smugness of his co-star having experienced the same hurt. I don't get people praising jensen for it. He's being an asshole especially considering how much of a flop TW was. Maybe if he wasn't so proud/egotistical and obsessed with getting his way, he could have agreed to teamwork and jared / misha could have improved that train wreck of a show. Jensen is embarrassingly unaware of his own faults at this point.

Absolutely fucking done with the TMNT ao3 fandom. (Not even counting the fandom as a WHOLE)

It is so overrun with antis my god. Over half the fics have TCEST dni in full caps.

Is that necessary? No. Not to mention most of them have some pretty shit hateful comments attached to them, just skimming along ao3 rules sometimes tbh.

Like, do they think that someone will just barge in and comment something about a ship that isn't in...the story?

Not to mention that forementioned tag just wrangles to "No Tcest" So honestly the exaggerated version is just plain stupid tbh?

What site do you think you're on?

Sorry for the rant I'm just...so done my god. And I don't even read tcest often.

you can change your skin color. if you bleach yourself or do blackface. one of those is extremely racist and the other is just.. well, don't do that. unless you meant makeup? that washes off though so, not permanent. - an anti with colored hair tattoos and piercings

oh youre talking calmly! ive never talked to an avid anti calmly before! hi!

yes youre right you can change your skin tone, and yes i do agree there is a tasteless/racist way to go about it which the greater public has a knee jerk reaction to, which is great! i do too! i dont like racists.

and if youre offering solutions for me to achieve my transition goals, thats? weirdly helpful? (/lh) however, personally, ive already made peace with the fact that i couldnt transition in a way i would be happy with. my only hope is in i get reincarnated into my true self and simply live this life well until then :) (from my perspective, a lot of radqueers follow this ideology as well)

also, i also have piercings! i have a number of ear and facial piercings and dyed hair. so thats something we have in common! gosh this dates going so well /silly

Is this enough times for everyone to admit that a spn prequel not including BOTH Sam and Dean just WON’T work and stop trying? The magic of Supernatural is Sam and Dean together and that’s just facts. Make a young Sam and Dean prequel or stop trying.

[ambersock]

I was fully prepared to move on with my life after briefly voicing my personal dislike for the sequel without going on rants about it.

Until, that is, I received an anon ask in my inbox attempting to shame me for my own opinion on my own blog because, according to said anon, hating a spinoff that has literally nothing whatsoever to do with actual canon from the original show must mean that I hate the original show.

Since you saw fit, my poor, suffering, grammatically challenged anon, to provide your opinion about me with such candor, I feel compelled to do you the courtesy of responding with equal candor.

I gave the Supernatural spinoff a fair shot. I sank four precious hours of my life into it that I will never get back, and in return I got a dumpster fire of amateurish writing, an incredibly weak and uninteresting story, wooden acting, zero chemistry between any of the characters, low-quality production values, and an ending that made no sense whatsoever since there canonically WAS NO MULTIVERSE THROUGH WHICH TO TRAVEL. In short, the spinoff is nothing more than an abomination, an offensive desecration of the beloved source material from whence it came. Thankfully, we can all rest easy knowing that the whole thing can be explained away as an artificial heavenly construct created by Jack, designed to keep Dean occupied and out of his hair while waiting for Sam.

With all of that said, I do sincerely give anon my deepest gratitude for sending the most hilarious self-own I have ever seen: that this pus-filled anal abscess of a show gave Dean "the story he deserved". Even I don't hate Dean enough to wish this upon him.

In the future, if my opinions offend you to the point of sending hate to my inbox anonymously in an attempt to silence them, I kindly invite you to stay the hell of my blog.

I feel like the prequel is lowkey trying to flip it so that Mary (who very much resembled Sam at this point in her history) is bringing Dean's energy and John (who should, fresh out of Vietnam, have Dean's harder "fuck it we ball, if I die then I die" vibe) is bringing Sam's energy because they looked at Traumatized Hardass Marine With A Secretly Kind Heart and Outwardly Sweet Girl Who Can And Will Kick Your Ass and went, "Oh god, we're gonna get accused of so much sexism."

But at the same time, they don't actually want to make John soft enough to make the gender-role-swap work. Like I could maybe live with the contradiction of previously established canon if they would actually commit to it. If they would let Mary be a real asshole sometimes, and give John some real vulnerability. But instead we're getting Whedon-esque Strong Female Protagonist from Mary and John's just kinda there.

It's pathetic and deeply disappointing.

that's the impression i get, though i never assumed it would be predicated on concerns of sexism accusations.

i was thinking it was based on mary's characterization in the late seasons after she's revived and her dive back into hunting and paralleling her to dean. and i was assuming it was largely born out of this being a dean-focused writing team.

i also assume, beyond circumventing sexism accusations, they probably thought it would be more ~interesting~ to have mary be this cold badass and have john be soft.

and it's not like john doesn't have this softness to him, i actually do think that's interesting. mary likes him because he's not like hunters, not like her family. i've always kind of taken that to mean he has some of what dean has -- possibly the same kind of bleeding heart where he won't trade one life to save 30, contrary to early-seasons sam being the type to make that sort of call.

john cries when he loses his friends, when jim murphy dies. he gets teary-eyed looking at his sons in Shadow. he's a really complicated and interesting character! so bringing that to the forefront in the era he and mary are falling in love makes some degree of sense for me.

but like... that's not all he is, and that harder side of him is absolutely essential, or else how are we supposed to believe he's a hardened marine? how are we supposed to believe the man he's going to become? is the prequels version bringing the intensity of this john:

(maybe he is, i haven't watched it, but nothing that i have seen suggests that he's got the anger sitting there under the surface)

ultimately mary's softeness, even if it's a veneer, is such an incredibly important part of her character. she wears a mask so similar to sam's, doesn't let people in, craves safety and normalcy despite being incredibly ill-built for it, craves it so much it damns her. she purposefully softens her hard edges and sands them down smooth to fit in with others and attain this unattainable goal, and that is something practiced over a lifetime.

tbh - whenever any piece of media writes badass cold hard women who kick ass and take no shit, to me it just sort of comes across like they don't know how to write tough women without stripping them of their femininity and gentleness. and i'm all for traumatized, angry, badass women, but it ends up reading as really flat if there's no depth behind it. like, you can do it well, exceptionally well. when done well these tend to be my favourite characters tbh. mary could be my favourite -- i absolutely love love love her in the original canon, up to about the end of s12 (after that it's kind of meh but that's another post).

but.... the actress may be to blame for that lack of depth too though? idk, but it's not necessarily easy to make that jump off the page, and while a very skilled actor with very good script sensitivity might be able to bring that depth naturally, a more inexperienced actress probably needs more writing and direction to make it work, and it seems to me they... well, my personal salty opinion is that mary was not well cast. this in no way absolves the writers and showrunners of not necessarily thinking this through in the depth i would've liked to see, but it isn't really helping matters.

Hunters are suppose to blend in and not draw attention to themselves. Bobby Singer looks like every old guy in the Midwest. There’s a hunter aesthetic that’s just basic working class American- whether it’s urban or rural- just a look of not drawing any attention to oneself, blending in to the crowd. Because they operate outside the law, they kill monsters that basically look like people. If law enforcement caught them they would just be considered serial killers. Nobody is in court is gonna believe you cut peoples heads off because they were vampires.

So how does a character like Carlos make sense being a very flamboyant queer guy in 1972? Like, not only wasn’t it acceptable back then, it was ILLEGAL in many parts of the country. So for a gay guy to be part of a hunter subculture that wants to avoid law enforcement attention, he would be in the closet. Of course gay people existed in the 1970′s, they were just mostly in the closet. I had a family member who was a gay guy who was in his teen/twenties in that time period and half the family disowned him when they found out. It was very uncommon to be openly gay, particularly in someplace like Kansas or wherever the hell that show takes place in.

I mean, Malia and Parrish are still a better love story than stydia, but still, fuck, no.

Unpopular opinion (or at least an opinion I don't see others voice out so here goes my take): I really hate Viola's design from Bayonetta 3.

I'm not sure if it's intentional for Viola to not take over any, ANY of Bayonetta's design features just so the "big twist" can be kept secret throughout the most of the game, but that's the impression it's giving me and it's honestly quite horrible. Her design is the most generic modern-world goth/punk wannabe aesthetic, and the only huge hint was her demon friend, Cheshire, which in itself is a bit of a stretch to connect. The previous Bayonetta games have drawn parallels between Cereza, Balder and Rosa very nicely, but in this third game everything honestly just feels like a marvel movie where they try to keep everything mysterious and intriguing just so you gain the most amount of shock value from the big twist, and people only buy into it because they already loved the character before that movie existed. That's really in poor taste.

And furthermore, her claustrophobia is a one-off joke for Bayonetta to tease her "endearingly" and then never explained any further, very much like Tommy Wiseau's character's mother in law from The Room.

Viola's character designs actually look okay during her concept art stage, but the modelling execution is really bad. Viola's hair had a better, more distinct silhouette in her concept art, but looks a lot shorter and became very tacky in game.

Her faerie form is something I don't like either. Although it does look a little pretty, it's origins of "because the multiverse is fucking everything up, my father is a werewolf now, and so I have it too, but better" sounds like something from a kid's fanfiction. Of course there's ways people can make it make more sense, but not this game, no.

That's just one of the many things I don't like about Bayo 3. I won't comment on the combat, but story and characterization wise, there's so much disappointment to be had.

All I’m going to say is that Jared is a saint.

Dude I am struggling with hearing about TW. SO, what? Does that just negate the 15 minutes Dean drove around in Heaven in the finale? It was actually months or years? Fuck that and fuck TW on principle.

[cloudboundcritters]

I'd rather hangout with the straight boyfriend than the queer cop who insists they're one of the "good ones" while harassing people of color

I'd rather hangout with the straight palestinian grandma than the queer zionist who keeps insisting that the death of palestinians is the one way ticket to queer liberation

I'd rather hangout with the leather dyke who is a mspec gaybian and uses paw/pawself pronouns than the puritan who makes "callout posts" clearly targeting disabled queer artists

[supernaturalnardog]

Even though I’m not a TW fan, gotta hand it to Drake Rodger for watching 12 seasons of Supernatural and actually being concerned about canon. A lot more than many of the original Supernatural guest stars ever did.

One evening, I was at the LGBTQIA center for a trans committee and I was the only trans man in attendance. One trans woman told me she never understood how I could want to be a "disgusting man".

Later that evening, she told me she'd love to swap bodies with me (I was pre T, pre op and didn't bind). I told her I didn't understand why she'd want to have the body of a "disgusting man".

She called me transmisogynistic.

Oh, the irony.
