I would like to thank Elon Musk for breaking the stereotype that “high functioning” autistic people are geniuses, because he’s genuinely so fucking dumb I can hardly even fathom it.
#Elon musk#twitter#x#autism#autistic#actually autistic#yes I am autistic#why the fuck is he renaming the site#every decision he makes has me cackling#if he’s a genius then I must be omnipotent#love him breaking the autism stereotypes#I don’t like functioning labels but I feel like he calls himself high functioning

"Now you live in a secret bunker with an angel and Lucifer’s kid", AKA queering domesticity par excellence
#something capital-q Queer about the way they create a life within The Life unlike the heteronormative 'apple pie life' the show critiques#(and just the way they're masculine mlm never stereotyped into 'man/woman' roles even with constant parallels to m/f pairings)#it's barrier-breaking and they're very special to me 🥺#dean winchester#castiel#destiel#spnedit#supernatural#spn#parallels#dean is bi#spn is queer#mine

Kinn would use pet names because he is the type of dork who would find them genuinely romantic.
Kim would use pet names because he thinks it gets him a good grade in boyfriend, a normal and possible thing to want to achieve.
Vegas would use pet names because he is exerting ownership in ways deemed socially acceptable, but he has to be pretentious about it.
#vegas hits pete with “beloved” one day and they both freeze as it is distinctly not “pet”#macau is in the background happy they managed to use a normal pet name for once#kinns pet names get increasingly more and more ridiculous and porsche can roll his eyes all he wants but he loves it#pete and porsche both get turned on when their partners refer to them as “my weapon”#which is something they would examine in therapy if they ever thought about getting it#no one knows what is going on with kim but if chay giggles and blushes because of an “angel” here and a “bambi” there#well the bodyguards know better than to mention it#also this randomly came to me in my current sleep deprived daze#but when pete is petty he'll start referring to himself with stereotypical dog names#like “spot” or “rover” and the thai equivalents#and it is so fucking weird for everyone to watch vegas get so pissed off about it#macau is just happy vegas isnt like breaking things or going on a torture spree#this has been one fourty five am rambles with calcium who doesnt think these are in character but you know#vegaspete#kinnporsche#kimchay#kinnporsche the series

When you break down their character stereotypes, Sokka and Zuko actually make perfect sense together.
Like- Sokka is the comedic one. The one known to lighten every mood.
And Zuko is the moody, strung up one. The one who is always serious, never laughs, never lightens up.
So of course they’d work well together. Sokka would help loosen Zuko up, and Zuko would help ground Sokka. These stereotypes are paired together in media all the time. (aka grumpy x sunshine one)
Literally, if one of them was a woman… they would’ve been canon.
#like it literally makes no sense to me when people say they wouldn’t work#like are you kidding me???#they are a tried and true stereotype!!!#i hate breaking characters down to their stereotypes but it works in my favor for this#zuko#zukka#sokka#atla#avatar the last airbender#zukka atla

i do not remotely mean this as in insult to the bells, but to me, even before c3 began, i knew it was never going to be a story that would survive on or deserved to be about one party. critical role would have gone stale if it went on much longer as it was, with just its og cast, and you could feel it brimming with understanding of massive events - changes of reality & its own fictional world - on the horizon. i know the concept of a "crossover" story with a staggering number of central characters is inherently risky, but i genuinely think one of c3's biggest strengths is just that.
avalir needed to be presented during c3's runtime, a precursor to past calamity as exandria entered a new one; aeors story needed to be told in this campaign, the apex of mortality's fall in the past as the war for ruidis began to fever pitch in the now; the bells hells needed "guest" stars that truly became their own party members, more than just the og white cast, so many people surviving as nobodies in apocalypse beyond those you expected to take up the call; the crown keepers needed to parralel the bells (hell, they are the bells), infinite parties thrown to slaughter by war when all they wanted was friendship, with hope still deep within them to return to each other; the mighty nein & vox machina & their cohorts needed to push & bear witness to the bells, analyze their own dynamics with power and what it means to be a hero/leader in a time where that isnt clear cut and comes at severe cost not measured in these ways in their campaigns; and most importantly the bells needed - and as of recently chose - to be thrust into being heralds of history. their story was built on heartbreak of being crushed under the boot of other's hero journeys (the story emphasizing that while they got caught in fate, they arent alone in that fate of being "unimportant"), and so it is in the campaigns lifeblood to provide them the chance to look at the tapestry in a way no other can, to bear the tragedy of being the sacrificial lamb and deciding what sacrifices of the world & themselves to make in turn, especially in a campaign that is blatantly asking the question of what is worth it to be in an imperialisically-designed fantasy universe where thousands are not seen as important to the pov of the hero.
#i feel in some way matt always wanted this to happen. hes hinted at a massive universal shift of an event since *episode 43* of campaign 1#and it's made more prominent by a) gaining many new friends & perspectives and b) a shifting space where dnd is heavily critiqued#to me campaign 3 HAD to evolve and be more than the original 8 and just one party of stereotypical heroes#it HAD to break molds to be *worth* something. at least to their eyes#and by god. are they doing that#critical role#critical role meta#campaign 3#long post#van speaks

i love that the lister transman hc is such a widely popular and accepted hc because its not often in fandom that a character that isnt a skinny white conventially attractive twink is widely accepted as a trans dude
#typically in fandom characters like rimmer are more heavily headcannoned as a trans guy#and dont get me wrong ive met plenty of people who do#but i really appreciate that lister is the one headcannoned as a trans guy more#breaks the transman skinny white twink stereotype that is so common in fandom#red dwarf#dave lister

I’m updating my art fight profile rn and I’ll realizing how little I’ve drawn the farm family
#btw every time I’ve posted Finn I’ve had at least one person slide in and be like 👀 hello??#which makes me happy every time cause Finn’s a playboy character#not like an anime stereotype one but in a ‘I love flirty but don’t want commitment’ way#it’s cause he’s poly and wants multiple partners but doesn’t have the words and knowledge to express this#so if he’s not courting anyone he can flirt w everyone (his logic)#and be interested in multiple ppl w/out committing social tabu by cheating#he does want to marry and settle down#he just doesn’t think he can convince a wife to also have another husband#he actually has a side story about this struggle and does eventually get two partners#dont know how much I’ll dip into it in canon#cause the story is already way longer then I originally planned#but if I can’t work it in then I can work on it as a separate piece for later or during breaks

ok so realistically i know theres important character reasons Kendra (and Seth and Warren by extension) never suspect Gavarog. It’s the old society trick to set up threats as team bonding exercises, etc, etc. plus this is a new and unfamiliar world thats rapidly overtaking her real world and replacing all her existing relationships, and right now Gavarog’s like the only member of her magical-worl peer group, so she doesnt want him to be a traitor, just like she didnt want Vanessa, her only female mentor to be a traitor, etc , etc.
but also i wholeheartedly 100% believe that every time Gavin did some truly bizarre, weird ass shit Kendra was just like. damnnnn…. average home school kid behavior.
#like fr tho#is it not just#damn why is this kid whose always telling me about his social anxiety somehow not even a little anxious when we’re actually doing shit#also why is he simultaneously the cockiest motherfucker alive#oh right he grew up on a preserve#damn did this fucking teenager just casually offer to carry a full grown man on his back while jumping at full speed over ledges???#damn i always knew homeschool kids are freaks#like maybe this is my mormon background showing#but everyone knows the stereotypical homeschool kid (tm) right??#fablehaven#why does this kid just casually seem to know what hes found more than every actual grown adult on this dragon preserve?#well shit it this is what he was doing instead of algebra#this poor kid#his father should be in jail#oh shit kendra you cant say that navarog ate his dad 😬#why didnt he laugh at my meme refrence?#damn his dad was probably just like grandpa#has he ever even seen a computer before?#…… tbh breaking kendras stream of thought here#but shit maybe im more sleep-deprived than i thought

what are some of the worstest takes youve ever seen come out of the twst fandom i wanna see whats going on
#twst#twisted wonderland#disney twst#mine is that bc vil is fem he has to be a trans woman#i think the trans vil hcs are great dont get me wrong#i love seeing ppls interpretations of him and others#but he purposefully breaks gender stereotypes#i think vil can be headcanoned as trans but not just because he looks fem#bc that would just go against the way he breaks gender roles#i think male character being fem ≠ he is suddenly a woman solely because he's fem#to me there has to be more than “he likes makeup and fem clothes”#if anything vil of all people wouldnt fall for the girls like pink boys like blue argument over gender roles#to reiterate: trans vil hcs are valid. trans masc or trans fem both are valid.#the part where i go :/ comes in when ppl hc him as trans solely based off of his feminine features when his whole thing is not conforming#to conformist gender standards

Thinking that Filbrick always loved Ford and always hated Stan is like, you didn’t watch the same show I did.
#Why would a stereotypical Greatest Generation tough guy prefer the little math nerd to the little boxer in the making?#Neither of them impressed him much or often#He rated his kids according to their ability to succeed and make money for the family and Ford was on the verge of that success#He was angry at Stan for blowing Ford’s big break while not being successful himself#Dad of the year he ain’t but I think he really thought Stan would eventually ride back with a million bucks just like Stan thought he would#And I think Stan maybe could have even done it if he hadn’t wound up trapped in Gravity Falls for 30 years#Gravity Falls#He had to basically have the teacher explain to him what he could expect from each of his sons…he did not prefer Ford#This man found out he had two new babies instead of the expected one and he just named both of them “Stan” that tells you everything#Anyway do not get me started on Homer and Bart and Lisa because that would require a three-month college-level history course

Unpopular opinion im not brave enough to post on main: dan looks so much better with shorter hair :( also the slight shaved sides are so hot 🥵 obvs not the dystopian daily shaved sides those were awful lol
anon you've come to the one place where you're not swinging a bat at the hornet's nest 😂
i think his hair is at its best a little shorter than this with the slightly shaved sides too 😔
#everyone was like yes! no haircut before tour#and i was like. oop. 😳#they can do whatever they want but dan seems to agree. he likes it a lil shorter. with a good fade#tangentially related but idk why the popular hairstyle has become like. marilyn monroe hair for guys 🤣#like do what you want go off. but like. every person or character is edited to have these flowing curly locks and i just. dont understand#i need someone to explain it to me#cause i get the theory behind it. breaking free of stereotypically masculine haircuts and having agency. thats fine#but why does it have to look bad 🤣#anyway i digress#dnp#c.text#dan and phil#phan#answered#dnptit

you know a character is actually good and interesting when looking at their main tags on here gives you a stomach ulcer
#sorry to anyone excited for me to transcribe that one thing and sorry to my knightfall & nml reread i was planning#we're on a talia lockdown now#although will say shes also a victim to the comics themselves making me angry too because my girl cant catch a fucking break#but like... you get my point. any interesting character gets flattened down to either offensive stereotypes or boring fanon cliches#instead of going in main tags you just gotta post shit yourself and wait for mutual approved posts to cross your dash
