And Tony Marconi!

Nothing but respect for my guy

[walkingnightmare]

on a serious note, the one major grievance i actually have with the episode is the random weird “blood family is more important” undertones sprinkled in

(psa i have no problem with ruby wanting to find her birth mom. that is normal and not what im talking about. also this can just be me reading into stuff but i did catch it on my first watch which is why im talking about it)

what i am talking about is the magical properties and language used around louise’s importance in regards to ruby.

louise is SO IMPORTANT that she (a human) gives ruby (also a human) the ability to do inhuman things despite never knowing her.

now the “power of family” is nothing new in fiction. It’s used in a lot of media, especially sci fi and fantasy. But the thing is there is no basis for this power. there are no established rules that say this is something that can happen. ruby didn’t inherit these powers as her mom doesn’t have them (to our knowledge) and ruby doesn’t have any “biological powers” (like superpowers). so, why does she have them in the first place? and if its because she loves her family so much it manifested, why doesn’t she already have this power since she loves carla so much?

(im aware this is used to find her bio mom, but you HAVE to have an in-universe explanation for it other than “i want to find my bio mom.” there are PLENTY of ways you can do that without giving ruby unnecessary and illogical powers. this also gives her a BUNCH of plot armor but thats another conversation for another post)

but the line- yes line!- that pissed me off the most was when ruby says she wants to find her “real mom.” now this could have just been a slip in the writers room to mean bio. but in what way is louise ruby’s “real mom?”

this term has been used for a loooooong time to make adopted kids feel unwanted and separate because they’re not blood related and it makes me mad seeing it in the “outcast and proud” tv show.

like carla has raised ruby since she was practically born. carla is in every right her mother. she loves her, raised her, supports her endeavors and wants her to be safe. carla is her mom. and she may not be the person who birthed her but she is the one who took care of her when no-one else would.

im tired of seeing blood family be more important than the people you choose.

Welcome to the struggle we are all suffering here

I dont think I realized how good I had it in my last fandom. My two favourite characters were the most popular ones in the show. I try to find gonta-centric fic and theres like nothing

[lost-in-elysian]

Sigh…I will never beat the “into older women” allegations…

HBO’s The Penguin hates women unless they’re conventionally attractive. Prove me wrong.

Oh, you don’t believe me? Well here’s Sofia Falcone and Carla Viti in the comics, and there’s the actresses the show is using. (No hate to the actors btw, I’m just making a point.)

Sofia Falcone in the comics. Big. She’s tall. Beefy. Has big, red hair, and has a Roman nose.

Sofia Falcone in the show is played by a skinny, conventionally attractive woman. She’s shorter, and has a straight nose.

Carla Viti in the comics. Stocky, heavy, round. She is FAT. Fats not a bad word or a bad thing.

And… here’s who they hired. Notice something off? You’re right, she’s skinny and “prettier” by bs Hollywood standards.

I see so many people talk about how much they love Sofia bc she’s crazy and violent, and apparently breaking gender stereotypes while doing it. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with conventionally attractive female characters being violent and evil and playing roles more reserved for male characters. But the fact that apparently the show has a problem with women doing that and being an important character UNLESS they’re “pretty” is very telling.

So yeah, as if I needed more reasons to stay away from Reevesverse, and I already had so many, it also hates women that aren’t “pretty”. Which is already an issue with most comics, but this is somehow doing WORSE than comics in that regard.

And the worst part? NO ONE GIVES A SHIT. Comic bros rant whenever a white character is made black, and then others jump at defending the race lifts. But when women who are either buff or fat are made skinny, no one cares. Not the comic bros who want 100% accuracy, and not the more progressive fans who should be want more body diversity. But no, everyone is too distracted by the shiny keys of Sofia being violent, crazy, and hot being jangled in front of their face, that they don’t notice this blatant and obvious disrespect of women. This show doesn’t love women or break stereotypes like people think it does. But everyone seems to either not see it because they’re distracted, or they simply don’t care about women that aren’t “hot”. Either way, it’s frustrating seeing everyone falling for this.

I can’t… I just can’t do this shit, my guy.

BUCK INTRODUCING EDDIE TO CARLA MEANS SO MUCH TO ME

THE COPARRENTING IS STARTING STRONG AND THEYRE ALL SO SWEET TOGETHER

[blugnettabutterflies]

Karen for the character bingo, hehe :)

This is as someone who hasn't played Pacific Bay in its total, so this probably (surely) will change!

[cindergarten]

what are your kg ships? can be ships you absolutely love or also ships you think are cute.

I absolutely love 🩷Cindix💙 x100000

it grew on me and now it's like my biggest ship! 🫶 But it's also the only "popular" ship I have cuz I like lots of lesser known ships like:

💚Emindy🩷 and 💜Austix💙

( those two coexist in my mind. If I'm not shipping Cindy with Felix, I'm most likely shipping her with Emmy. Same goes for the boys. Listen, you just gotta see the vision )

Now for some that I like but I'm not as crazy about as the ones above: Perla, Bindy, Felonty, oooh and I really like Austemmy!! and a bunch of others. And I mean a BUNCH.

But yeah I'm veeery open minded when it comes to ships, the joy of being a multishipper ^^
