I think Bean is cute and Mora is hot but I've lost my mind every time I see one of these three on screen 😍

Bean and Mora and their happily ever after

[f0x-gl0ves]

He lived, he served cunt, he died, he served cunt again, he came back to life, he served cunt, he died, he served cunt for the fourth time, he killed god.

The development of the relationship between Bean and Oona is so special to me. Oona is the best.

Idk if it's just this last season of Disenchantment or I'm just noticing it now, but there are a more than fair amount of times when characters are making sounds without their mouths animated to move or just overall they're not being as expressive physically as the voice acting is.

I am aware of Bean’s path of self discovery and her emotions towards her mother. I’m aware the she doesn’t hate Dagmar for being her mom. She hates her mom for being evil; it pains Bean to have to kill Dagmar. But listen, characters can have mental illness. Just because it’s a real condition doesn’t negate the fact that Dagmar has symptoms of NPD and/or traits of narcissism. .

My issue isn’t the story structure. My issue is how it’s played in the story. Bean could’ve said anything besides “And I’d also say I have way more experience in something you’ll never have … love.” And it’s evident that she meant romantic love because all the times she mentions/gestures towards Mora being her “missing piece”. Romantic love isn’t an and all be all.

“Dagmar used the lack of love that she experienced as her reasoning for committing these acts.” 

If that’s not the arophobic  “heartless cruel person became evil because they weren’t loved and/or does not experience love” trope, then idk what is. Doesn't matter if it’s her justification or reasoning, it sends the message of “people who don’t experience love are evil.” It doesn’t matter her orientation. She’s straight. Both romantically and sexually. But her storyline reeks of arophobia. It reeks of ableism. 

I’m not arguing that it’s not about Beans' discovery of individualism, discovering herself, and her journey. I’m not arguing that Dagmar isn’t a piece of shit. I’m making the point that it has a lot of amatonormative and ableist undertones that need to be addressed. I’m pointing out the reasons and actions of Dagmar’s evil is ableist. Dagmar’s evilness is arophobic. doesn’t matter if she’s queer or has NPD; it matters the harm it spreads. It excuses the harm that the aromantic and NPD communities face on a daily basis. 

You can have evil aromantic characters. You can have evil people with NPD. You can have characters who are both. But treating that as the source of their evilness is bigoted. Because people will use this to commit, excuse and justify bigotry. It’s used to excuse and justify arophobia. See how society treats aromatic people. It’s used to excuse and justify people with NPD and those with cluster B personality disorders. See how stigmatized NPD/cluster B is. See how much harm they receive. 

Please be aware of the message that you consume. Please be aware of the harm it brings.

Amatonormativity in Disenchantment

As I'm watching Disenchantment season 5, I started to get really uncomfortable with amatonormative messages that Bean keeps bringing while she defeats her mom.

The "I have love" phrases repeating over and over rubs me the wrong way. Not to mention the (possible) ableism and arophobia when it comes to Queen Dagmar. So what if she's loveless? So what if she's heartless? That in no way makes her (more) evil. She's evil because she harms people, not because she's aromantic.

And her narcissism isn't the source of evil. Again, it's the fact that she harms people. People who are narcissistic and/or have NPD does not automatically make them evil, Fucking stop with the ableism.

I'm tired of media, esspicall queer media, act like being aromantic is evil. And I'm tired of people acting like having narcissistic traits and/or having NPD is a danger to humanity.

Stop being queerphobic. Stop being ableist.

thoughts on finale of disenchantment/s5 overall (specifically relating to bean and mora), i think it’s great that we got a sapphic couple that ended up together and it was just treated as normal by everyone, i don’t want to downplay that (although even though she got brought back shortly them killing mora wasn’t great), but i had headcanoned bean as aro and i think a lot of her previous behavior and lines can be read that way, so it just was a bit of a bummer that it was like no actually she just needed to meet the right person and then she’s always talking about how she has the power of love and that makes her stronger and that just wasn’t really doing it for me, luci choosing to use his wish to bring back mora even though it meant he’d be stuck in heaven forever because his platonic love for bean was so strong was more meaningful i think, anyway, i can still stay an aro sapphic bean truther bcs her and mora are great together

I watched the last season as soon as it dropped. It was a pretty epic and I couldn’t stop watching until I finished the entire thing. But of course that’s what binging is. Like the Summer Camp Island series I watched before, I felt a sense of sadness during the series finale. It’s such a big departure from The Simpsons and Futurama where nothing really changes. One other thing it has common with Futurama (besides the skin colors) was the fact they went hard on the finale episode. Seeing our main characters get their happily ever afters but have everything change is just so bittersweet. Our main group having to part ways which I didn’t expect at all just drudges up feels. But I’m glad everything wrapped up. Especially with the way Netflix has been so iffy with the other animated productions. I hope to see a companion series to Disenchantment soon. As a comic book. Or as one of those Simpsons books where they provide those added bonus features and commentary.

THE FUCKING PORTRAYAL OF TRANS-NESS THROUGH MORA

[prettyflyshyguy]

F*ck it I had a little skim, S5 is a season that wasn't overly 'monstery' compared to the early seasons but I settled on some specific eps to perhaps glance at (only if you want to though!!! I totally get the disenchantment and wound up listing more here than I meant to) (the 'for fun's' are obvs subjective but there's certain scenes that might trigger doodle ideas)

Ep 1 sorta settles some fallout from the S4 finale. Might not be interesting but lays out some context.

Ep 2 not 'monstery' per se but might tickle a particular itch if you possess it

Ep 5+7 for fun?

Ep 8 for fun and an importantish reveal

Ep 9 is fun

Ep 10 is one of the bigger episodes for S5's overarching story

Ep 11 was one I quite liked personally

Ep 14 was one I also quite liked

Ep 15+17 might brush lightly against a particular itch

Eps 18 onwards head off the "f*ck destiny" journey, but for specifics 19 is a personal fave and latter half of 21 introduces one of my fave dudes

Again, wound up with a longer list than I thought, but I also totally understand the meh-ness after the Heaven plot! Hopefully there's something on this list that works for you

Anon we gotta cover a few things here

1) seriously have my swear card you can say Fuck

2) you are a local legend for providing me with this list and i am very gratefull!! You are my personal hero

3) you can't just say "this might spark a doodle idea" and leave me hanging like this like wtf

You can send me doodle ideas (cannot guarantee I'll do them but I love a good bit you know me)

I'll absolutely kick off s5 with e1 cause I always need the closure but I think it will be where the cherry picking starts, for my sanity. I'm not strong enough nor have the time to watch everything to completeness (NOT WHEN I WANT TO REWATCH OLDER EPS LMAO)

I trust you understand My Brand (tm) if you've been following my journey so I trust your recs!
