Perhaps my biggest issue with Zootopia was that despite focusing on issues of racism and prejudice, I always felt like it only did so in a superficial and barebones way. And this issue became harder to ignore after watching Nimona.
The racism within the world of Zootopia is less of a formidable obstacle and more just a mere hurdle on the track that just quickly jumped over. The biggest example of this problem is with the film's "main antagonist," Mayor Bellwether. Aside from being a crappy twist villain, we never see the effects she has had while she was in power, effects such as policies, laws, or other systemic powers she could've wielded to malign and oppress the predators of Zootopia.
But the way Nimona tackles the subject of prejudice just completely puts Zootopia to shame. For Nimona (the character), the malice she experiences is not some mere bump in the road, it's a suffocating presence that surrounds her on every side, one that she has to endure on a constant basis. Whereas the supremacism in Zootopia was this mere stomachache that fades as soon as it appears, in Nimona, it's this all-consuming cancer that infects every corner of society from government to law enforcement, to goshdarn cereal ads. And not only that but this culture of supremacism is also accepted by almost everyone in said society, much of the time without them even asking themselves why they're accepting it.
Many have argued that you shouldn't go too hard on Zootopia's social commentary because "it's only a kid's movie," but after seeing Nimona tackle the same subject with far more depth and nuance, I can't help but ask: "what's Zootopia's excuse?"

AITA for killing and dismembering the school bully?
now, i know this sound bad, but listen.
i (18f) am a senior in high school. i go to a public school, as there are no christian schools in town.
the school i attend, to be as nice as possible, is a pathetic excuse for education.
the school itself encourages lust every single year with it’s homecoming dance. everyone is all over each other, kissing one another and dancing waaaay to close to one another.
clearly, this is morally reprehensible, and so naturally, i made it my goal to get the homecoming dance canceled.
throughout the first week of school, i campaigned around the building with that goal in mind. while doing so, a guy (18m), who’s probably bullied the entire school at this point, began hitting on me. i kindly rejected his advances, reminding him that if he keeps it up with the way he speaks, he’s going to be roasting in hell… and then i left.
despite that, when i got home, i could not stop myself from thinking about him. not in a regular way at all though. i felt an attraction to him.
it disgusted me that i would feel this way about someone.
but it wasn’t my fault. it was his. (obviously)
so, i decided i was going to get back at him.
turns out, a group of other people, who each will be represented by a letter:
a (17m)
b (18m)
c (18f)
d (18f)
wanted to get back at him too!
so, i helped devise a plan.
we would go to an old, haunted, house my father was the realtor for. we would then, lead the bully into the house under the guise of a fun event, which d was able to do as she was a part of his friend circle. finally, b would film him freaking out about the “ghouls” (played in costumes by a & c) in the house, and then post it online.
the stage was set, and so the show was on . all was going well until we realized he was going to try and fight both a & c, believing they were actually monsters. d had to get in the way to make sure a&c didn’t get hurt, and told the bully that a prank was being pulled.
he seemed to be a bit happy about the prank; that was until he fell an entire story and got impaled by wood planks.
and for some reason, everybody was freaking out. d suggested we call the police and show the video as evidence, but apparently b hadn’t got any footage of him falling.
a, filled with ignorance, said we were surely going to prison for this.
but i knew we wouldn’t.
his death wasn’t an accident, but it wasn’t murder.
it was an act of god.
i believe if he would have turned to jesus, he’d still be with us. but no, he was a terrible terrible person and got what was coming. thank goodness he’s rotting in hell now.
unfortunately, we couldn’t just leave him there.
so, i suggested we dismember the body and hide him underneath the floorboards.
with a lot of confusion and minimal protest from the group, we did just that.
it’s been a couple weeks since the incident, and i’m having a very hard time feeling bad about it.
he was a real crappy guy. everyone seems a lot happier since he’s been gone.
but i’m not sure.
should i feel bad about this?
AITA?

My Pride is weird bc the gore for shock value is really the only thing "adult" about it. As far as plot and characters and themes it fits right in with YA xenofiction - yes, even "mature themes" like abuse and oppression are often covered in children's media like Wings of Fire and AtLA, that's not exclusive to adults. I feel like MP was actually intended for the same type of audience, but they added the unserious bobblehead disclaimers at the last minute bc they realized angry parents might come after them if their kids watched a Lion King-style YouTube video that turned out to be super violent and bloody.
Its really hard to tell who the audience for MP was outside of "people who were already fans of Tribble's warrior cat/cotw content". Can't be for children, cuz there's warnings (well "warnings" in the form of cute widdle bobbleheads with little fun quips from the characters)
Like is this for teens? I mean I know teens like a lot of crappy stuff (not me tho, I've always had impeccable taste /sarcasm)
Is this for adults? Cuz the messaging and writing is almost unfathomably immature. The messaging was so bad, people still don't understand what's so "problematic" about it. They think RJ and I are just mad because ableism and homophobia is in it. Like why do we have to keep explaining things to people. If people used their brains, or consumed literally anything else, they'd arrive to the conclusion themselves. After all a ton of the opinions we expressed in our video were already expressed by lots of other people beforehand and they didn't need us to tell them what to think lol
Even the violence was immature, which I can say because I love me some creative violence in my movies/shows. There's science behind violence, so you'd think a show that prides itself as being a "more mature Lion King" and believing itself to have a more realistic portrayal of lions, it would have realistic violence, but nope.
The violence in this show is sometimes hilariously censored, like for some reason Barkmane's body was completely blurred out when they had no qualms about showing Starmane and Quickmane's body, their injuries were not even indicative to anything based in reality
Karabi's throat was slashed open and her voice actor was just groaning (not the voice actor's fault, this is the fault of the director) and I dunno, I feel like I've seen enough slasher films to know a convincing dying noise when I hear one, but I don't expect people working for me to know what that sounds like so as a director it would be my responsibility to... you know... direct.
And Sharptongue's death, like I still don't know what was supposed to even be wrong with her. She just started having a coughing fit and died off-screen.
AND YET MP somehow manages to be really fucked up in its mediocrity?? Because it just shrugs off child death like the characters do. And Tangle's death was used for a joke.
It's not like resources aren't out there, people have been posting videos of lions killing each other on youtube for years lol
"Adult shows" that are easily outshined by kids shows in maturity are fascinating to me, and they're more commonplace and I don't know why. At least two other "adult shows" have so little respect for the intelligence of their audience that they put in a shit ton of information that adults get mad when they have to think about things. And/or they are so embarrassingly safe it's almost like they're made specifically to cater to kids.
I mean the fuckin Lion King straight-to-video sequel had an effective abusive family dynamic, so what's the excuse here exactly. (I mean I know the answer, it's because Tribble pulled heavily from Warrior Cats and didn't improve upon it.) - Cat

Lady Moon.
2012 leo x reader-
As the leader or the team, Leo tended to be more focused in leading and less interested in other ‘lesser’ hobbies. So it’s a bit of a surprise when you find a romance novel underneath his pillow.
aka, boy fail cringe leo (affectionate) also i wrote this like in 40 minutes so apologies for bad writing
As the appointed leader, Leo tried to be serious and mature about his role;with no help from his brothers. Strong, calm, confident, stoic and mature was what he was supposedly was. Unfortunately, anyone that knew him for more than a few minutes would know that he is none of these things. At least to a certain extent.
Truth is, Leo…was a big fat nerd. No surprise there. He liked watching space heroes and often gushed about it to the nearest living creature, giving them new meaningless memories and a massive headache. He liked making stupid jokes and god awful puns. It was honestly sorta cute to you.
What was a surprise was the book that was underneath his pillow. You technically weren’t supposed to be going through his things, but he technically should’ve given back that black cat plushie you let him borrow for Halloween. Picking up the book, you glance over the title.
‘The Man and the Moon.’
From the looks of it, it was a romance novel.
…Leo? Leon? Leonardo? Fearless?
You never pegged him for the type to read romance books, hell, you never pegged him for the type to read things other than Japanese literature or comic books.
‘A classic romance novel tells the story of two star-crossed lovers, Max and Luna - both literally and figuratively. Max is a successful businessman who has dedicated his entire life to making his dreams come true, and Luna is a quiet and mysterious woman who seems to have a special connection with the moon. Despite coming from different backgrounds, Max and Luna quickly find themselves drawn to each other, and they must navigate the rocky terrain of love and discover the true meaning of happiness.’
You read as you skimmed over the summarization of the novel. It seemed like a good read! But, if you talked to Leo about your little discovery, you’d probably be in for another classic Leo Lecture about not snooping. Again, it was fair in your humble opinion.
And if you shared this information with his brothers, he would be ridiculed and mocked by his brothers, despite them having weirder hobbies. Aka, Mikey and his weird obsession with boiling pizza. Ah, brotherly love.
You made a mental note on the book and carefully stored it away underneath Leo’s soft pillow.
He doesn’t need to know.
——-
Leo seemed to be busy more often than usual, with the lame excuse of being occupied with meditation and training in his room.
Which was a bummer since tonight was a movie night with everyone. Raph, Mikey, Donnie, April and even Casey were here!
You huffed and sat on the floor in front of Mikey who was sitting on the couch.
“So, what shitty slasher flick are we watching tonight?”
Raph grinned menacingly while holding a dvd and standing in front of the television.
“It’s not a slasher film, god knows Mikey would have nightmares again. Not that I’m against the idea of Mikey suffering, but I don’t want to have to let him sleep in my bed again.”
Mikey cheered from the back,
“I knew you cared about me! See, Casey? Raph likes me more than you.”
Casey frowned and groaned.
“C'mon! Do we really have to watch a baby version of scary movies?! What happened to entertainment and morality?”
“I’m surprised you know the word, ‘morality’”, teased April.
“Nah, I think he’s just throwing out random words and hoping that one of them will make sense. Remember when he said that we should ‘photosynthesis’ and ‘equilibrium’ with the enemy?”, you add mockingly, “You almost made Donnie pop a blood vessel.”
Speaking of Donnie, he rushed right through his lab door carrying multiple blueprints and plans for whatever new project he was working on.
“Hey four eyes! Gonna join us for crappy baby's first horror flick?”
“Why do you call me four eyes, Casey? I’ve never even worn glasses before, so why would you nickname me something that doesn't make any sense?”
“Easy.”, started Casey, “Glasses make you a nerd. YOU are a nerd without glasses, therefore you need glasses since you’re a nerd.”
“Casey connecting the dots? Hell must’ve flown over and pigs must’ve learnt to fly.”, you snickered.
After a whole debate between Donnie and Casey, the pizza was brought by Mikey and the rest of the snacks were laid on the floor by April and Raph. Monthly movie nights were truly a miracle.
But, there’s something missing.
“Where’s Leo?”, Mikey questioned while taking a disgustingly large bite of his pizza.
“Fearless? Eh, he’s probably in the dojo training like always.”
“Probably, but usually everyone joins for these types of things! Do you think he’s training or doing something else?”
“If you care so much why don’t you ask him for yourself, [Name]?”, Raph says, really not caring about anything else other than the movie that he picked.
You grumble and reluctantly head over to Leo’s room, hoping that he wasn’t doing teenage boy activities. Ugh.
You considered knocking on his door, but then you remembered the plushie he never returned and slammed the door open.
Leo scrambled off the bed and onto the ground, holding a familiar book before throwing it off into the distance, praying you didn’t see. He chuckled nervously while leaning suspiciously on his bed.
“Oh! Hey, [Name]…! Uh…do you need something?”
He seemed so anxious and nervous…it was actually kinda cute! It’s like you have two little creatures on your shoulder, each one trying to give you a way to navigate this whole situation.
‘Leave him alone and give him space! That’s the nice thing to do.’, says the one on your right shoulder.
‘Get the book and make fun of him!!!’, giggles the one on your left shoulder.
…it’s obvious who won.
“What were you reading, Leo?” You ask with a teasing grin, watching him squirm under your gaze.
“Oh…uh me? Uhm…comic books! Yeah comic books! I was reading a really weird part so that’s why I was surprised when you came in and…”
Whatever other words that were being soren from him was ignored, you only think about how oddly adorable it was.
You glance at where the book was hastily hidden and chuckled.
“What comic was it?”
Before Leo could make another desperate and obvious lie, you quickly snatched up the book from where he tossed it and read the title. It was the same one as before.
“The Man and the Moon?”, you teased.
“That isn’t mine! April just asked me to hold on to it for her!”, he blushed as he tried to regain his confidence and composure.
“Cmon, Leo, we both know you can’t lie to save your shell.”
He paused and looked away, blushing furiously and fidgeting with his fingers. You sighed and took his hand.
“Hey.”, you look into his eyes. “I pinky swear that I won’t tell your brothers. You know how they are.”, you think back to the time Raph was found playing a dating simulator, and how the bickering lasted for weeks.
“Plus,”, you continued, “it’s not the worst thing you've ever done.”
“…You don’t think it’s weird?”, he asked cautiously.
“Why would it be weird? Like, people read romance all the time.”
“But, y’know…I’m a guy…and a mutant turtle…and well…”
You shrugged and climbed onto his bed, leaning against his plastron once you had sat down next to him.
“Romance is nice, I guess. It’s just another genre in a variety of genres.”, you felt and heard his heart thump faster as he gulped nervously.
“So…”, You started, “Are you gonna go to movie night or what?”
Leo’s eyes widened as he seemed to have a revelation.
“The movie! Crap, I forgot about that!”

Red what is Tumblr live and how do I get rid of it
Okay I'm on desktop right now and can't screenshot my phone so please excuse this crappy graphic I just spent like 15 minutes making instead of getting my phone out.
Tumblr media
So if your app has updated, you may see this little old fashioned film camera icon at the bottom center. (Why they chose to use an image that the general demographic of tumblr is not going to actually be familiar with, I don't know. Hellsite /affectionate.)
If you click through to it, it'll take you to a tiktokified short videos page. Right now it's mostly nonsense with fake influencers and things, but they're definitely trying to add this function to tumblr just like they have Instagram, Facebook, and obviously that's TikTok's whole brand.
You can just ignore it. OR you can go into Account > Account settings > Dashboard preferences > scroll to the bottom to find a toggle for "Snooze Tumblr Live for the next seven days."
Officially unofficially, Tuesday is Snooze Tumblr Live Tuesday at this point, and every week I go in and snooze it for another seven days. Because I refuse to lose more time of my life to stupid videos on this app like I already do on others. Hellsite. /derogatory

Supernatural Rewatch Season 1 Episode 8: "Bugs"
Tbh this one actually kind of freaks me out. I mean I'm not really afraid of bugs, but the thought of that many crawling over me. Just no thanks.
Tumblr media
Why did the writes think that it was okay to write two brothers as being percieved as a couple and then literally write Dean saying "Okay honey" and slap Sams ass. Like what was the thought process here. I mean they probably didn't think.
"Remind you of somebody? Dad?" "Dad never treated us like that." "Well, Dad never treated you like that. You were perfect. He was all over my case."
"You don't remember?" "Maybe he had to raise his voice, but sometimes you were out of line." "Right. Like when I said I'd rather play soccer than learn bowhunting."
And yet when you keep watching, you feel like their Dad didn't treat any of them good. Dean was just the perfect little soldier, that never stepped out of line and Sam was the rebel child, who got treated like that because he was stepping out of line.
Also Sam just wanting to do normal kids stuff, but not being allowed to 😢.
Tumblr media
"This showers awesome."
Okay but how long has it probably been since he actually had a good shower and not just one in a crappy motel room.
Tumblr media
"He's too disappointed in his freak son." "I hear ya." "You do?"
No but he genuinely looks so confused by this. Probably because he never believed that Sam was a freak. And I also love Jensens micro expressions in the background.
Tumblr media
"Don't sweat it because in two years, something great is gonna happen." "What." "College." "You'll be able to get out of that house and away from your dad."
"What kind of advice is that? Kid should stick with his family."
Sams look at Dean after he says this. He's so pissed.
Tumblr media
"You think I didn't respect dad. That's what this is about."
"I respected him. But no matter what I did, it was never good enough." "So what are you saying? That dad was disappointed in you?" "Was? Is. Always has been." "Why would you think that?"
"Because I wanted to go to school and live my life. Which, in our whacked-out family made me the freak."
"Most dads don't toss their kids out of the house [when they score a full ride]."
"You know, truth is, when we finally do find Dad... I don't know if he's even gonna wanna see me."
"Sam, Dad was never disappointed in you. Never. He was scared. He was afraid of what coul've happened to you if he wasn't around. But even when you two weren't talking... he used to swing by Stanford whenever he could. Keep an eye on you. Make sure you were safe."
Okay being scared still doesn't excuse you throwing out your child, leaving him with no support. Sam had no one to go to, if he would have ended up in a crisis. Well at least that's what he thought, since the Winchester men are incapable of talking to each other like adults. (The blame is definitely more on John though since he is the parent and should have made sure that Sam knew that he was just making sure he is safe.)
The fact the bugs are taking over that land and killing people because it's cursed.
This is actually pretty terrifying though. I would freak if this happened to me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Homemade flamethrower for the win.
Tumblr media
It's got a pretty anticlimactic ending though, I guess. The morning saves the day.
Tumblr media
Also the fact they used live bees while filming, but they didn't show up on screen, so they had to edit them in, in the end anyway.

What’s the deal with Cynifer?? Why does she hate you?
Hi anon!
You’d… actually have to ask her.
Oh wait, please don’t.
I know why. Her and her flying monkeys seem disgusted by my statements that Danneel is an abuser, as well as my gentle worries over Jensen’s well-being. Apparently, he must be perfect to suit her Cockles’ fantasy, and if he isn’t, then her dreams are lost. Or something.
It seems among Cynifer’s ilk, Dot’s ilk, and the AAs, they don’t like me pointing out all the bad things Danneel has done and said, excusing it under the guise of “That’s just her sense of humor!”
Uhm. No, it isn’t? She’s lied a lot to boot. About her past as a pageant queen (nope, only won a participation trophy, if memory serves), about Ivana Chubbuck, I’m fairly certain she’s lied about other things as well. She was also really shitty in how she broke up with Riley—didn’t tell him, just took her things and moved out without a word. (I know; rumor had it Jensen was also in a relationship, but the timeline states that he might’ve been broken up with Joanna by the time he and Danneel got together. It’s just damned murky.)
Me pointing all that out—me and fellow antis—ended up getting a lot of hate over it. As if we’re not allowed our own interpretations and stances. We’ve been called bullies—can’t be bullies if we’re not sending the stuff we write to Danneel. We’ve been accused of hating Jensen because apparently disliking Danneel means we hate him. (They are two very separate people; it is possible to only like one of a couple in a relationship, people! Happens allllll the time!)
Then there’s the fact I don’t like Misha, Cynifer’s ‘hero’. Even though he’s done some really crappy things. Apparently she’s chosen to overlook those actions, even though one of those actions was practically sexually assaulting Jensen during filming of Supernatural.
I don’t send people over to her to hate. But apparently she’s decided that I should be harassed over and over again. She and Dot have even threatened violence against “people like me”. So nice, right?

Stop! I had no idea it was Phantom's birthday!!! Your reblog made me gasp. Do you have a favourite adaptation????? 🤌❤️
Tumblr media
Great question, @french-vanilla-in-the-clouds! I haven't seen too many of the film adaptations, like the Chinese "Song at Midnight" or its remake, or The Phantom Lover. I would like to thank the YouTube channel, Phantom Reviews, for introducing me to the other adaptations of Phantom. Here's a list of my personal favorite POTO adaptations:
The Phantom of the Opera (1925-1929)
This was actually the first silent film I ever watched as a kid, I was around 9 or 10 years old and it was also around the same time that the Andrew Lloyd Webber movie was coming out. I love Lon Chaney's performance as Erik, and his ability as a makeup artist as well. This holds a special place in my heart, because I remember watching it at my grandmother's house. I hope someone can make a proper adaptation of the book with today's technology; however, this is probably the closest one we have so far.
(look at the way he clenches his fist on his sleeve, A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!)
Tumblr media
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
I remember liking this more as a kid and a teen, this has become more of a guilty pleasure movie for me now as an adult. I do appreciate some of the costume designs, I think my favorite is a tie between Christine's masquerade dress and her Think of Me dress. Minnie Driver is always fun to watch as La Carlotta, and Patrick Wilson did his best as Raoul. If it were made today with Emmy Rossum's acting abilities from being on Shameless, I think it could've worked beautifully, I'll give her some leeway because she was a teenager then.
(This is my favorite shot of Erik, btw)
Tumblr media
The Phantom of the Opera (1990)
Btw, this was actually my first introduction to Charles Dance before Game of Thrones. I know this is technically also an adaptation of another musical prior to Lloyd Webber's, Yeston and Kopit; regardless, I like how this version of Erik is more on the sweet side, but he does have his limits (and I love his sarcastic remarks about Carlotta lol). I wish we could have seen what his disfigurement looked like, however, I do appreciate how the filmmakers wanted the audience to imagine it for themselves.
Tumblr media
Goosebumps' The Phantom of the Auditorium (1995)
Okay, so I haven't actually read any of the Goosebumps books. I liked watching the TV show a bit more. This episode was a fun, kid-friendly version of Phantom.
(excuse the crappy quality of the photo)
Tumblr media
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Okay, this one is a lot of fun. I do like how it was more rock and roll, and I like this Phantom's design, it almost reminds me of Panna a Nevtor, or the Czechoslovak Beauty and the Beast movie. There's definitely some campiness to the film as well, especially with Beef (the La Carlotta counterpoint), and Winslow's court case scene.
Tumblr media
Phantom of the Megaplex (2000)
I have a soft spot for this one, because it was the first time where I saw clips of the Lon Chaney film featured in the beginning. On paper, I do like the premise of a guy haunting a movie theater, and I do like some of the more "Phantom" moments where he's disrupting each theater with something, like the projector bubbling out, or the dinosaur balloon. Also, I do like Mickey Rooney's speech about movies and movie-going.

Since devil theory is into anime, what types of genres do they usually watch????
Oh boy, this is gonna be a fun one to talk about :D
Well, for the most part. Also a bit long!
But first, something that’s probably not needed, but just in case: A disclaimer that some of the series mentioned here might not have aged well in terms of like… depictions of minorities or handling certain serious topics in questionable ways. I know a lot of the stuff I loved as a kid had problems like that.
*gestures towards Cardcaptor Sakura which has at least 3 different child/student x adult/teacher relationships, including the protagonist’s own parents for fuck’s sake!!*
Long story short, some of the mentioned series here are ones I have watched myself at some point in my life! I still love some of these for the good parts, but I’m not gonna make excuses for the bad parts (if what I just said about Cardcaptor Sakura doesn’t already make that clear). Again, this kind of thing is probably obvious for most people? But it’s also probably a good idea to state the obvious anyways.
So yeah, now that the disclaimer is established, onto anime talk!! Also a bit of manga talk here and there, since there’s overlap with different series. :u
Reiterating from my big Devil Theory post, all four of them had a little anime-manga club going during their school days (Nunchaku was an honorary member since she still lived in the US during this time). Adding more to this headcanon/idea, they kinda-sorta still have the club going, but it’s really just the four of them hanging out and watching/reading/talking about anime-manga stuff together like friends anyways. Also debates on stuff like power levels, which characters would win in a crossover battle (a la Death Battle), arguments over why a certain manga series does or did not deserve to have an anime adaptation, etc. :P
Also each of them have been bullied for this particular interest to some extent and at some point in their lives. Even with anime and manga being more “acceptable” these days, their first instinct is to still keep quiet about it, and hide any merch they have from anyone who notices. It takes each of them a while to actually open up about the topic to their own partners, let alone any friends outside of their own little circle. They get there eventually!
Moving on to the specific topic of favorite genres, in general they’ll at least check out the popular stuff together. Astro Boy, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, YuYu Hakusho, One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, Full Metal Alchemist, Mob Psycho 100, My Hero Academia, Delicious in Dungeon, Odd Taxi, also various anime movies like the Studio Ghibli films, so on and so forth. You probably get the point! Dragon Ball and its sequels is probably the big one they all remember starting off with. Each of them also have preferences for other stuff they’ll watch/read on their own!
Just as a reminder of who’s who, I’ll put in parentheses which OC corresponds to which DT palette, and a little blurb about them.
For specific favorites for Sai (spring palette, guy with anger problems who gets it sorted out eventually), his favorites are pretty straightforward: as long as it has awesome fights, he’ll watch it! He’ll suffer through a show with a crappy plot if it at least has excellent animation for the fight scenes. Like basically “we saved the budget for the fight scenes and cheaped out on everything else” levels of blegh. Same with manga, it better at minimum have cool art and fight scenes or it ain’t worth it in his opinion. Also he was absolutely inspired to get into art because of those fight scenes, and thus he now works as a freelance artist!
For Nunchaku (summer palette, butch lesbian with high gremlin energy), she really likes sports manga. Admittedly I don’t know a whole lot about this genre of anime/manga myself, but from snippets I’ve seen, I know it can get wild sometimes! Because of the period of her life where her parents forced her to do as many sports as possible, she knows a decent amount about a lot of different sports. She likes to see how the series she reads/watches compare to the real thing, and enjoys when things get really ridiculous.
Also a big fan of the early seasons of Pokemon, Digimon, and Yugioh. Those were her big intros to anime besides Dragon Ball. The later seasons of those three, eh, not so much. She doesn’t hate them but doesn’t love them either, y’know?
In addition to that, she also keeps an eye out for good wlw/yuri series. Nunchaku mostly checks out series made by (or at least written by) actual lesbians, bi women etc. But even then she has a very small pool of stuff she particularly loves, and is also frustrated with how little butch x butch stuff there is.
For Bō (winter palette, blond hair and weightlifting tech guy), he will check out anything involving mecha or cool technology, though he doesn’t always like them (Neon Genesis Evangelion is probably a big one that he regrets watching at all). At the least, if he likes the designs of the mecha/robots featured in the series, he’ll still buy figures or kits of them.
With series he’ll check out on his own that he actually likes, it’s mostly gay manga (i.e. stuff that tends to get labeled as "bara" in Western anime fandoms, even though the term itself is not generally seen as a positive in Japan. At least from what I’ve researched, it probably varies). Of course he enjoys them because Gay, but also because they tend to feature characters with similar body types as him who aren’t meant to be jokes in some way. Which, probably says a lot, doesn’t it? :(
So then besides those two genres and the big popular series he’ll check out with his friends, he’s more into gaming. Like, they all play video games and have their favorites, but Bō is the only one who would call himself a gamer. He has suffered through a lot of horrible video game adaptations of various series, lol…
And finally Daishō (autumn palette, leader of Devil Theory and sometimes basically roleplays as an anime villain while in costume lol), with his love of horror movies, he is also of course a big fan of horror anime and manga! Though whether he genuinely loves what he reads or not kinda depends, due to… sorta complicated feelings.
Okay so, the idea is, for a long while (including even into adulthood), he would check out particularly gruesome and gorey series, even if it got to a point of making him feel genuinely ill. Like, I’m talking about stuff with no deep story or themes to them, no cathartic or at least bittersweet endings. They were mostly if not completely just for the shock value of truly horrific things happening to the characters, who never survived in these series.
And a lot of the time, he read them just to laugh at the characters for being stupid, thinking they deserve the suffering. This also applies to non-anime/non-manga series too. He’d check out the stuff even big slasher fans would want to avoid, if that gives a better idea of what he was seeking.
After sorting out some personal issues (a lot of issues actually, including his big guilt about almost getting his friends and himself killed due to the deal with Faux), he comes to realize he only bothered with that particular subset of horror as a form of self-harm. Again, the big guilt about the Faux deal going wrong, though also guilt about feeling like he’s not doing enough for his friends, that his problems aren’t as bad as other people’s, and so on. Made himself suffer through horror content he can’t stand himself as a sort of subconscious punishment.
Once he works through those feelings, he stops reading/watching stuff like that. He even throws out and burns a lot of the books/DVDs/etc that he collected from that horror subset. After that, he still enjoys horror stuff of course! But he actually respects his own limits and doesn’t force himself to watch/read stuff he knows will just make him feel terrible or ill. He’s a big fan of Junji Ito stuff, plus other stuff in the same vein.
And, I think that about covers it! I was expecting to namedrop a few more series than this, but eh. :P

Amy Santiago x Male!reader - absolutely perfect
Tumblr media
Could I request an Amy Santiago x brother reader who wears dresses, and her being protective and supportive of the reader, please? - Anon💜
Looking at the rows of dresses, you turned to look at your older sister who was doing the same thing.
“Blue or red?” You asked.
Amy turned around, walking over she picked up a blue dress and held it looking at it, and she did the same with the red dress.
“Both are your colour. Maybe try them on?” She offered.
“Alright, I’ll be right back.”
You wondered to the dressing rooms and she stood waiting, picking out a few more dresses she thought you might like.
You quickly changed, putting on the red dress you put it on, admiring how it fit your figure and you nodded, stepping out.
Amy gawked at you.
“What? Does it look bad?”
“I can’t believe my brother looks better in a dress than me!” She pouted.
You snickered a little, giving her a little twirl so she could fully see the dress.
It came just above your knees, and it fit you perfectly and she looked at you.
“That’s definitely a buy.” She said.
“Well I’m glad you approve.”
You walked back to the changing rooms, changing into the blue one and you stepped out at the same time as a woman.
She gasped as she looked at you.
“Security!” She yelled.
You looked at her confused, as did Amy and a clerk nearby came over.
“Is there a problem ma’am?” She asked.
“There’s a man in here!” She screamed.
“Yes, he’s trying on dresses, just like you.” The clerk replied.
The woman stomped her foot, crossing her arms.
“This is a female store! Men shouldn’t be in here and they certainly shouldn’t be wearing those dresses!”
“Excuse me?” You scoffed.
She spun to face you.
“You heard me. You’re a man. You should be working. Not in here wearing dresses.”
You went to reply but Amy held her hand up and stood in front of you, and you looked down at her.
“My brother has a right to wear whatever he wants. If he wants to wear suits, he can. If he wants to wear dresses he can.”
“No he cannot! It’s not normal!”
“And it’s not illegal!” Amy snapped.
“How would you know?! Someone call the police!”
Amy reached into her pocket, pulling out s badge she flashed it with a fake smile on her face.
“I am the police. And I know there is nothing wrong with what’s going on here. These changing rooms and for both men and woman. This is not a woman’s store, they sell men’s clothes too. So, therefore, no laws are broken.”
The woman turned to the clerk who was talking to her manager and to the security guard.
“You seriously can’t be okay with this!”
“Actually, I am. He comes here every month with his sister to buy a new dress. He’s a regular customer, and no one has any issues with it, so you can kindly leave.”
The woman started screaming and shouting and Amy sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose she called Jake and Holt to come and handle the situation.
Amy turned to look at you, looking at the dress she shook her head.
“That’s not the one, maybe white?”
The manager handed you a white dress and you changed into it.
Walking out, you saw the woman go to hit Amy so you walked over and stood in front of her. Arms crossed over your chest as you looked at the woman who backed away.
“I suggest you back away now.”
“You’re not normal!”
Amy pushed past you again.
“He is normal! He likes dresses, so what?! Men can like dresses and flowers and chocolates and sappy crappy romance films and men can cry and get upset and feel hurt, there’s nothing wrong it it! So shut up because you’re under arrest!”
Any began reading the woman her rights and the security guard cuffed her and put her on the bench at the end of the changing room.
Amy walked back over and gave you a soft smile.
“You okay?” She asked.
“I’m fine, thanks Amy.” You smiled.
She beamed at you and took a step back, looking at the dress she looked to the guard and the manager.
“This is definitely the dress.” She said.
They all agreed and you beamed. Checking yourself out in the mirror to admire how the dress looked and it was absolutely perfect

RP MEMES FROM REDDIT 5/4/2023 -5/11/2023

It's rather artistic.” “Would you like to walk out of here with your pride intact? Or be dragged out kicking and screaming?” “The fucking boot got me.” “It’s crazy how many people don’t realize that 95% of these videos are scripted.” “Breaking someone's heart is the worst thing you can legally do to someone.” “I rinse my dong off after I pee, found out that this is apparently odd?” “I like to get the bathroom hot and steamy before I take a shit.” "What questions, when asked by a potential date, are red flags for you?" “I’m guarded, introverted and naturally suspicious.

I could feel it, I just didn't know where.” “If you weren't an arms merchant or corporate raider then you did lose the cold war.” “Round up to help the poor? Leave a tip? Do you love this shit? Are you high right now? Do you ever get nervous? Are you single?” “Where is this money actually going?” “You have a very nice butthole.

OCTOBER PROMPTS 🎃 — 6. Joe
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: because the love I have for Raymond is consistently growing and it’s Scorpio szn (his szn) so why not? Although I’m not sure if Joe fits into the Scorpio vibe…those that care what do you think? Anyways he’s on the list so here’s this *GASPS* short thing and I can’t wait to see him (mainly) next season!
PROMPT is from HERE + I’m using: A notices B’s porch light off, so A knocks on the door anyway to pull them out of their boredom to persuade B to come join the fun.
Side note: slight crossover between two other shows: “The Bold Type,” + “Fire Country,” but not overly the focus in this piece. So don’t come at me if you’re questioning why they’re tagged :)
*GIF BELONGS TO: @kamala-khan + PHOTO DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ ⋆˖���‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ ⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ ⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
Ever since Briar moved out to the New England area it’s been difficult to get her besties to visit with them still living in New York City. Working for Scarlet magazine was a big part of not only Briar’s childhood dream but career journey that brought Briar to this big change in her life.
Perhaps Briar was still getting adjusted as life carried on but in different places now. Originally the girls planned to come up this weekend to have a spooky bake session + movie marathon and would head back that next afternoon.
However things didn’t go as planned with: Jane’s old Danish fling decided to surprise her back in the states after she took her lengthy trip of seeing the world. Briar wasn’t sure if a serious relationship is what Jane needed right now but Jane claims it was only her having fun…leaving Briar to take that with a grain of salt. Then Kat decided to last minute turn down the trip to dive even deeper into her own magazine, “Don’t Turn Away,” which was of course exciting to see and Briar was no doubt proud of her friend but Briar couldn’t believe that Kat was officially the workaholic out of the four friends. It was even sweet for Adena, Kat’s girlfriend, to consider traveling to spend the day with Briar but she encouraged Adena to watch over Kat and push her to take breaks every now and then so she wouldn’t get burnt out. Lastly there was Sutton who switched up to head down to upstate New York to the new cabin her and Richard purchased…which concluded with Briar placing them all on block for the next twenty-four hours.
Sure it was petty but it’s not like the group didn’t plan this two weeks ago and yes things come up…yet it sucked being kicked to the curb like this. Gas prices were also out of control but none of them bothered to use that excuse and well at least they were honest with pushing Briar to the side! Briar didn’t have to sulk at her new Cape home and could get herself up and out into the city of Wellsbury if she really wanted to. The thing is she just wanted to have a night in with her girls, especially when Briar’s been looking forward to seeing them all after she switched career paths.
So…there she is in the solitude of her home lounging on a couch “watching” some crappy horror film, scowling at that one character who plummets to the ground after being chased by a serial killer.
There’s a knock at the door and Briar has to drag her eyes away from her phone to glance towards the windows that she shielded hours ago. Sighing she guesses it must be some more teenagers doing another round of ding dong ditch, since she was the new person in town and it was fun to pick on the new resident here apparently. Padding through the rest of the scattered “oddly,” placed furniture in the living room—Briar’s uppity mother’s words FYI, she finds her way to the front door. Standing a little on her fuzzy sock covered toes, she peeks through the peep hole after flicking her porch lights back on, to see no other than Joe Mohan waiting on her front porch.
Briar doesn’t wipe the nonchalant expression on her face as she pulls the door open, “Joseph, hello.”
Joe’s lips twitch at the formality Briar kept up with when greeting him, “I thought we classified each other as friends not acquaintances. What’s with the ‘Joseph,’ Ms. Briar?”
Briar sighs as she leans against the doorway of her home.
“That bad of a night huh?”
“Oh you have no idea.”
“Well your lack of lights told me to come over and check so I’m here,” Joe holds his arms out with a smile, “And you look like you can use a pick me up…so you should hang out with me.”
Briar and joe lived across the street from each other, while Joe had a ranch that was pushed back from the road, Briar also had her esquestrian property with cape architecture that was actually closer to the road and a roomy pumpkin filled front porch. They were friendly with Briar heading into the blue farm every Wednesday and Friday due to it being her longer days at work, from there they sparked up light hearted but teasing conversations.
She became the newest talk of the town, unwarranted and she liked to keep to herself just a bit to get adjusted better. Did that mean some labeled her as standoffish? So be it. It was something her mother often criticized her for when change came Briar’s way, that she didn’t have to retreat into her shell and that she needed to take things by it’s horns. Maybe subconsciously that’s why she was attempting to raise some goats? It’s a shame that the way your relationship is built from your parent(s) can still haunt you into your adulthood.
“hang with you and the horses you mean?”
Joe notices the shudder radiating off Briar’s frame and shakes his head. He knows the whole story about her at thirteen and on a horse back in the summer at Martha’s Vineyard. That resulted in eight stitches and a dark scar from her chin bone down to where the underside of her tongue rests. It wasn’t as noticeable despite the horrible laser treatments she endured as a kid; unless you were really trying to pick apart her story and if Briar didn’t have make-up covering the scar.
“Nah, what kinda guy do you think I am?”
“The kind that tried to get me on one at that fair last weekend? when you know that was solely for the children.”
Joe was only joking, he wouldn’t push past Briar’s boundaries.
“Oh my mistake, I thought you started middle school already.”
“Ha-ha,” briar playfully rolls her eyes.
Joe lightly taps Briar’s forearm, “c’mon, what else better do you have to do? Halloween is right around the corner, come out and celebrate.”
“I never took you for one to enjoy spooky season.” Briar tilts her head to the side then turns her hooded eyes into slits, “I feel like you’re more of a New Year’s Eve kinda guy.”
“Really? I don’t give fall guy season?”
“Joseph!” Briar almost crinkles her nose as if she’s appalled, “Don’t tell me you like pumpkin and chai lattes?”
“I’m actually more of a hazelnut, chestnut, or go for a praline vibe.” Joe shrugs his shoulders.
“Ah so a winter girl.” Briar lifts her chin almost in approval, “I can now smell the wreath’s from your pores and see the uggs on your feet.”
Joe scoffs and holds his hand out awaiting Briar’s grasp, “so what do you say?”
“I’d say…as long as there’s no horses and you give me a glimpse of the itinerary for the night, I just might.” She keeps her arms folded.
Joe hums, “don’t have time for all the deets but I can guarantee you’ll have some fun.”
“Fun as that mark on your eye?”
“What do you mean? That’s part of my costume.”
“You’re not wearing a costume, Joseph.” Briar scans the bearded man, wondering just how he injured himself this time.
“I…could be.” Joe challenges the woman with the Pearl clips in her hair.
“Well am I dressed appropriately for this undercover mission of fun?” Briar slaps her hands down by her thighs, “Otherwise I’d have to change and take a shot of liquid courage to get through the night.”
Joe says, “you always look great…and I don’t want to wait another hour for you to be ready. The event has already started by the way. So come on, get your keys and ID just in case they decide to make sure you’re not part of gen-z.”
“Whatever you say, baby boomer.” She winks at Joe before disappearing back inside while the man just sent a mocking smile at her back.
They arrive at what appears to be this abandoned brick building with Joe and a few of his friends that Briar’s meeting for the first time. They’re a friendly group that Briar’s heard a little about but it’s good to put the names to the faces and that they welcomed her with pretty much open arms. It was a contrast to the others in town that were more nosy than getting to actually know Briar. However she’s handled worse attitudes in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
“Don’t tell me we’re going haunted exploring,” Briar says to Joe as they walk side by side through the scarce parking lot.
He laughs, “hell no, that’s more Jake’s lane and none of us would actually be here if that was the destination tonight, believe me. You’re in good hands.” He causally tosses an arm across Briar’s shoulders.
Which she glances at but makes no move to pluck his hand off. It actually felt comforting as they made their way through the breezy night together. As the group stand at the large door, they wait for a section of it to slide sideways revealing a beaming red light that shines over their bodies.
Briar still wasn’t sure if she liked this but Joe’s friends seem to get more excited after?
Soon they’re welcomed into the building which smells like cold air and moss, followed by two figures dressed in all black.
“What in the American horror story?” Briar mutters, which is not unheard by the group who let out snickers.
The voice that echoes off the eerily silent hallway, comes from the figure on the left who’s wearing a plague mask, “ladies and gentlemen, those of you who are ready to put those bones to work, I suggest you say your goodbyes now.”
Suddenly alarms go off with the blaring of red lights illuminating their frames. Briar won’t lie and say that she didn’t clasp both hands across Joe’s waist at that, brown eyes peering around this narrow entryway. She also picked up on the sound of the main door locking behind them.
“Come along,” the feminine voice in the black Victorian poof dress speaks, “we shall see how far those shells above thee bones can take it.”
“Take what,” one of Joe’s other friends, Bode is clearly finding enjoyment in this as he bites back a laugh while his girlfriend, Gabriela slaps his arm.
“The shed,” both speakers say at the same time as the floor beneath them all begins to glide them backwards and their group forward.
“Whoa!” Joe wobbles and steadies himself, “they’re really in tune with their roles.”
Abruptly the track stops at a set of stairs that lead downwards into the abyss.
“Welcome to the resurrection,” the feminine doll face raises her lace gloved hands while the plague man stomps his cane into the floor.
Just as they say this, unexpectedly chains slink down from above their heads while a gush of air almost knocks the group back but some unseen force keeps them upright. Devices are clamped down over their heads, making them immediately grip onto it in bewilderment.
“Please select a Halloween genre.” A menacing voice states, making Briar realize that she along with the rest had headphones on now.
“How do we uh…pick?” Jake asks but the hosts no longer say a word.
Briar presses on the top of the headphones, which light up orange while going over specific sections. A pop tune with a haunting theme fills her ears, making Briar’s wide eyes turn to see the rest of the groups slowly turning from a red hue to orange. With that the entryway to the stairs steam with blue smoke, signaling their cue to enter as the plague man and the doll faced woman side step to let the group through.
“This is pretty cool! I’ll admit. Creepy as hell but cool,” Briar can almost hear Joe saying as if he was speaking to her directly through the headphones and over her briefly lowered music.
Briar nods, guard still up as they all creep their way down the stairs and into what looks like a huge club scene with some attendees dancing in costumes and others in simple night out attire.
“I’m getting drunk! Bye!” Gabriela shouts into their ears, dancing through the crowd while pulling Bode along and right to the bar.
Briar and Joe both share a smile as they turn to each other. She wastes no time twirling around him then and begins to dance to her own tune in her ears. Joe keeps his hands together as he watches Briar let free, throughly enjoying seeing a grin on her face.
When she stops in front of Joe, she poses and waves her fingers encouraging Joe to show her what he’s got. She’s seen joe break out into some moves before when he thought nobody was watching and it was the funniest thing how he got embarrassed about it.
The man can move to a beat okay and if a dance battle was what he was asking for tonight, then who was Briar to stop that from happening?
After all it was all in good fun and what was the harm in that?
Joe tried to play it off like he was too cool for school but briar noticed his headphones flicking dim and back to Orange, almost as if the song changed and Briar didn’t miss the way Joe clenched his eyes closed.
Which made Briar smirk.
His song had to be playing and when he busted out doing his own version of the Wednesday Addams dance, which definitely caught Briar off guard! She couldn’t help but to jump in alongside of Joe but she managed to keep a blank expression on her face much better than Joe did.
They were more in sync than they realized once they whipped back to be face to face, Briar raised their hands up into the air together before a smile broke onto Joe’s face which the woman couldn’t help to match as their hands lowered. Briar lets out a laugh, resting her head against Joe’s chest and he wraps his arms back around her, hugging her close as they found joy in the night.
He figures Briar could at least consider him a friend now, bearing in mind that they just went into a whole dance routine in public together. Not to mention she felt just right in his arms and the moment was cheered on, they noticed as the crowd around them watched leaving Joe and Briar to bow at their unknown audience.
Turning to Joe’s friends, they appear with spooky cocktails with Eve handing off one of each to the pair, which they all cheers to with more laughter.
“Who knew all it took was to bring Briar out on the town with us to get Joe on the dance floor?” Gabriela tells.
Briar peeks up at Joe who sends her a wink with his lips at the rim of the glass.
Briar nudges his shoulder, “Ah, what are friends for?”

I watched Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and the movie was so crappy and woke. There’s this new character named Helena Shaw who’s basically a rehash of a character from the previous film except 10x worse due to the blatantly obnoxious identity politics and poor writing surrounding her character. Her existence seemed like an attempt at someone projecting their personal issues onto pre-established characters to make a beloved icon look bad out of bitterness or something. She even delivers a cringey dig at capitalism when she steals an artifact, as shown here:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mvz7f_zb9-E
Helena truly is a shitty character and a clear self-insert/creator’s pet. This is very typical in “progressive media” nowadays. I think if this type of film was made as a reboot for gen z instead of a direct continuation of a franchise for gen x/baby boomers (the people who grew up with Indiana Jones), it would’ve done much better in the box office since Helena is the exact type of character gen z people seem to excuse and apologize for since she’s a “#girlboss” 🙄 I’ve seen poorly written female characters like this before with clear sociopathic tendencies who behave awfully with little to no remorse due to their abandonment issues, randomly give a half assed apology at the last minute while continuing to act like assholes until the very end, and zoomers eat it up and conjure up aggressively worded essays defending them and how they were written (*cough* Catra from She-Ra *cough*). My hope for the entertainment industry as well as our generation having critical thinking skills is very slim, to say the least.
I really never thought I would live to see the day that managed to make a worse Indiana Jones movie than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. At least Crystal Skull was fun in a bad way and not preaching at you. Disclaimer I haven’t seen the new one. And I’m not planning on it.
In all honesty the plot and action in Crystal Skull was fun, and if they had made the titular skull any other mysterious powerful Aztec blood ritual artifact or whatever it would likely have been far more fondly remembered. Because we all remember the alien angle as as dumb as it was. If the skull was an ancient jade mask they put on that ritual skeleton that brought it back to life with the power of Quetzalcoatl I would be cheering. Anyway. 🙄
I just really hate this trend of soulless woke mouthpiece girlboss characters being shat out (onto existing beloved franchises especially) and being presented as if they’re aspirational for literally anyone.
