Can you do it, Drifter? Can you make the Man with the Golden Gun the villain in the eyes of those who would tempt the Dark?

has anyone made a // between 1x05 and 2x02?

Daniel disrespects and aggressively violates Louis' boundaries. He mocks Louis' memories and his will to protect them. Understandably, Louis lashes back. Both times, Armand interferes (because he saves Louis from himself). This time Louis even haunts Daniel with a 70s flashback, because as we know, it was a very traumatic moment of Daniel's life. And the fact that he doesn't remember it, makes it even more frightening and upsetting.

I don't think it was about devil's minion, or Alice. Just the most pain inducing moments of Daniel's life. These two keep digging fingers into each other's wounds, almost like s- *gunshot*

There are only two episodes left in The Boys S4, but having seen the leaks and with what we got, I have some opinions.

My conspiracy theory is that they got too many cooks in the kitchen (writers in the writer’s room)—plus the writer’s strike and pandemic happening during this time—and it’s starting to make sense how they dropped the ball with this season.

job applications: ...as long as you've done at least six months of highly specific work, or have this exact degree, or if you kissed a chicken during the last moon of 2012-

Don't watch then? If you're going to be disappointed no matter what then don't watch

I think some people don't realize that Helluva and Hazbin are capable of good writing, that they are capable of amazing animation, good songs, and ideas. They HAVE that stuff, they've done it before, and continue to do it, not as often as before, but there are diamonds in the rough. It's the execution and vast changes in direction that fall flat, that are not good because the direction is lost, interactions become contradictory, the story doesn't seem as complex... and from a fandom standpoint, a lot of people within a fandom write fics, comics, or draw art based off things they wanted to see more of in the show. AUs to twist a direction, explore different arcs, expand a character, showcase a potential relationship- all of which the show did not. Whether a show is super good or terribly horrible, out of hype or spite, it is still an inspiration.

you can just not like a fandom joke without it being racist

Absolutely! I see posts on my dash every day I don't find particularly funny, so I just scroll right past.

However, as I said in my original post, "jokes" about Ed not understanding how to use soap not only aren't funny, but are racist as well.

I really hope I do not need to say that white people have a long history of accusing people of color of being ignorant savages and simpletons as an excuse to brutalize and enslave them and to decimate their communities. I'm just going to assume you're already aware of that angle.

But there's also a very long history of people of color being viewed as dirty and unclean, based solely on the color of the skin or the texture of their hair. This article includes an advertisement from 1884 showing a white child washing a Black child with soap and, gasp! The blackness just washes away in the tub. And lest you think that's a distant phenomenon, Dove got called out for a similar advertisement in 2017. This article also cites a number of examples of the ways white people are allowed to talk about how little they shower or wash their hair in a way that people of color cannot. Not to mention the articles that are in the news seemingly every other day about school/workplace bans against natural hair. Granted these are not scholarly articles because I'm just pulling this together quickly while I have a few minutes on my lunch break, but trust. The sources are there. It's a disgusting stereotype that has done, and continues to do harm to our society, end of.

Also, frankly, I find it really difficult to believe that if the roles were reversed, and Stede commented about yummy lavender soap, that we'd see anywhere near the amount of posts and art about Stede eating soap. Because why wouldn't we assume Stede was just commenting on how good it smelled? Because obviously Stede knows soap is for washing and not eating because he's a grown ass man.

And yet it's supposed to be funny that Ed, also a grown ass man, would not know not to eat soap because???? Very curious. Would love to hear what's funny here. What exactly is the joke?

Not to mention, as @thermoskind pointed out in their tags on my original post, Ed clearly washed up between the raid and properly meeting Stede, and he also commented to Stede's crew that they looked grubby. The man knows how soap works.

I get it. It's "just a silly joke, it's no big deal." And to that, I'd urge to reflect for a few minutes why it's more important to you to have a quick giggle than to stop perpetuating rhetoric that actively plays into ugly racist stereotypes.
