I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.

it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"

plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.

anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.

the dynamic of demigods thinking which other demigod is the most powerful is always amusing to me because. like, we know the big 3 kids are all the most powerful. That's just a fact of their universe. And then we know nearly every character views Percy as the strongest demigod, and most people are very rightfully intimidated by him.

and you look at the powers of the Big 3 kids and there's Percy, but then you realize Nico is just kind of objectively more powerful than him but simply chooses to hang out in Percy's shadow like he's Percy's scary dog privileges. Like, the two of them are pretty equally capable of causing multiple different apocalypses. Nico just also has like four different instakill powers and it's not like he doesn't use them. He very much uses them! Not infrequently, even! And they don't seem to take a significant amount of energy from him! And other demigods are pretty intimidated by both of them! But Nico makes a conscious point to keep his cards close to his chest and not let on exactly how dangerous and scary he can be if he wants to. People are already scared enough of him without knowing anything about him and he doesn't like that. Percy doesn't think about that nearly as much, and so usually just goes in guns blazing and that's part of why he's considered a wildcard. And then Nico himself puts Percy on a pedestal, so those who do know more about Nico's abilities then presume Nico knows something they don't about Percy that implies Percy is even stronger than him.

And even on a meta level Nico's narrative role requires him to be functionally more powerful than Percy, because he very often serves the purpose of getting Percy out of situations he can't handle on his own. That's just part of his function as a character! But also narratively he can't overshadow Percy so he just takes a backseat of his own accord and that's very amusing to me.

Hi! I just wanted to know if in the following days to come if mychael would follow more intense Yandere traits or instead mellow more out?

Hello! I feel like I ramble a bit here for such a simple question, but for those interested, spoilers under cut!

I've teased in asks before he will get intense as the story progresses, though for the sake of managing expectations, don't expect him to go all out just because it's Day 4.

Initially, I've considered multiple routes and endings for the next update, and by endings I mean True Bad Endings, but I might push them back so the pacing of the story doesn't feel jarring. Plus it lightens my load of writing multiple branches, something I always wanna avoid so I don't complicate things for myself.

I just feel that between the five sundowns after they separated at the end of Day 3 it'd be enough time for him to sort through his thoughts and come to a conclusion on how he feels. Nothing drastic, but there's definitely something that changed in him if that makes sense.

So while he's not fully unhinged (the door still functions so to speak), he's definitely growing loose,,,, I started out with the intent of writing a slow burn and I'd be remiss if I mess that up!

So, I've been reading a lot of Ghost King AUs recently and... my hand slipped.

One of my favourite details about the Feldspar subplot in Outer Wilds is that (in my experience) I always find Feldspar to be a little bit of an asshole compared to what I'd expect after hearing what the others around the village have to say about them. The rose-coloured glasses of grief and old legend have settled around their image back on Timber Hearth so much, and the person to be found on Dark Bramble isn't a disappointment in the afterglow of that, but they are a lot more three-dimensional. They're a little patronizing sometimes ("...You never were the brightest hatchling, were you?" isn't exactly the response I would give to an exclamation about myself being improbably still living), and listening to them talk about their own heroism is just slightly more offputting than when the villagers back home do it. There's still a genuine fire there, a strong love of exploration and an admirable boldness that leaves no question how their passion took this project to the stars...but they're a lot closer to a neighbour, when found, than a hero with a ten-foot-tall image. A neighbour who can be a little annoying sometimes, in spite of the laundry list of impressive things they've done. I like that a lot. I like that the grief smoothed them out too much, in the minds of the Hearthians, and that finding them living roughs that impression up just enough to be real again.

INSIDE NO. 9 - S6E2 "Simon Says" | Guillem directing the podcast scene

From the BBC Sounds pod:

Steve: Well, what comes out of the podcast scene, the way we played it – and I think that was really beautifully directed, by the way, by Guillem Morales, who directed this episode – he decided to, sort of, be quite close on me and pull further back during the scene, really slowly; and quite distant on you, and push in quite slowly. So during that podcast scene, you've got this, sort of, transference of power – it's quite subtle, but it was really clever – because at the end of it, Simon is putting into his place his plan, which is to get himself an audition. So that he not only wants to help him write this project, he actually wants to be in it as well.

I look at this usually gruff, sarcastic man with a body made to eat me for protein.

His skin is paler yet his face is flushed a rare red. He trembles in his seat, several layers of his clothing, his armor, lay hazardously on the ground around him as he quakes with the heat in his bones. His dark hair sticks to the his forehead, shining with sweat.

I stand in front of him all the more aware of how minuscule I usually feel around him. How frail.

Yet he is the frail one now. Him with his battle scars and gun clutched tight in a shaking hand. Him with his weakly glaring yet somehow also pleading eyes. Him with a pathetically dazed look and a frown tugging at his lips as he pants, chest heaving with each breath.

I look at him and I think, “Well, I’ve gotta fuck him now; it’s a rule!”
