the public reaction to i saw the tv glow is like a perfect case study into how cis people take up queer spaces and unknowingly mock and enjoy trans suffering. sitting in the theater, i had a pit in my stomach the entire time. so many times, i would tear up and then someone else in the theater would laugh. and i wouldn’t cry because how would they look at me when the lights came back on? because they don’t see it. they don’t see the pain. they think it’s funny. i left the theater completely silent, not saying a word to my boyfriend and he didn’t say a word to me until partway into the drive home. the people around us immediately got to picking it apart, explaining what it all meant to each other, dumbing it down, making theories. cis people see the the movie, just like transness, as something to debate. a conversation. something to dissect because it makes them uncomfortable if they don’t understand it in their easily digestible way.
#i wanted to cry so bad. i had tears behind my eyes. and i couldn’t after hearing everyone in the theater LAUGH#also if you’re the girl who said she didn’t see a trans allegory in it: you are srupid#i saw the tv glow#jane schoenbrun#my bf is the one good cis person btw he saw how heartwrenching it was bc he loves a trans person (me)

I love that Adaine goes, “Oh, she’s STUPID” whenever an NPC has an off moment when her best friends are:
-a guy who tried to fight hardened pirates with the members of his dad’s pyramid scheme
-a girl who tried to ribbon dance down a tower
-a guy who got tattoos of incomplete anagrams because he thought they were clues
-a guy who thought every stranger was his dad
-Hilda Hilda

You know, it's genuinely sad to me that aging favourite character actors no longer have any fun murder-mystery tv shows to guest-star as murders on.
#murder she wrote#matlock#diagnosis murder#father dowling mysteries#agatha christie’s poirot#columbo#quincy ME#ironside#perry mason#there are a few others#yes i know there are murder mystery shows on now#but i'm talking specifically about the silly old fashioned ones that have guest stars as murders who used to be quite famous#and yes I know they have rebooted several of these buy none of them are watchable#but that is a whole lot of white people#still fun shows tho that had fun guest stars#yes yes I’ve seen the hallmark movies they are awful and usually don’t have good guest stars#and whilst i love these shows there are way too many white people#I just wanna see old people on tv drinking tea or eating chilli and chasing after murderers.#Perry mason was actually quite young. I want someone over 50 or 60 at least.#and give me more older people with disabilities. I wanna see canes and wheelchairs.#yes the nun in father dowling played a nun in#sister act#but Perry mason was brought back when he was older so he still counts.#yes I’ve seen poker face and it’s good. but I want older people on my screen.

one thing that’s always so funny to me is people hating doctor/rose shippers bc “he’s over 900 years old and she’s 19!!!!!” like baby im gonna hold your hand when i tell you this. they’re also not real
#also god bless it’s not like she’s 15 or something#like please learn to have fun and accept that nine/rose is one of the best ships on tv#doctor who#ninth doctor#tenth doctor#rose tyler#timepetals#ninerose#tenrose

So like at what point should I just give up
#so despite having had an interest in historical fashion for several years now#and despite now a full year's worth of doing research#and despite being the person writing all the research down and sending it around to people#despite creating all the (infra)structure for this entire project#despite being the person literally writing the books right now#the moment something's unknown people look at my friend and tell her to research it and write the book#she's the one who's on tv#she's the one who gets talked to about clothes#she's the one seen as the authority on it#like even while sorting through traditional headwear today#i was the one who pointed out the entire categories she missed#and started sorting those#i was the one who wrote and sent the part of the manual about them#and people still looked at my friend to tell her to write the book#like#i know she wears the long skirts everyday and i'm there in hoodies and sneakers#but even the people that work with us every week will still look at her first#it's extra frustrating because her idea of doing research consists of only getting resources that 'look relevant'#then cherry picking information and immediately drawing conclusions from that#and the moment she has a conclusion that's it. fact formed. no more changing her mind#the amount of arguments i've had where i pointed out information and she refused to listen is insane#but then what i say just gets dismissed because i'm the one interpreting it wrong#and other people join her because she says it very confidently#and then i keep bringing up sources and it doesn't help and just. i'm so tired.#feel like i should add that yes she wears big oldfashioney skirts everydsy#but she says they're traditional folkwear#bitch no they're mainstream edwardian#traditional skirts have a very different silhouette and style

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!
Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*
Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!
#original#the last unicorn#tlu#peter s beagle#molly gru#schmendrick#schmendrick the magician#two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first!#my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped!#no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different.#to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life!#but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol#because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb#the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!!#my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘#i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful.#and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE#mostly zoro's blades from One Piece#normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and#then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU#and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

this is the iconic dinosaur horror jurassic park wishes it was
#so there's this person on twitter who is like an infamous drama starter and got a whole forum shut down once#and they wrote this (different) book that's one of the greatest so bad it's good things i've ever read#a few great things that happen in that:#characters get in a car crash and flee on foot. later it's casually mentioned one character had both her legs amputated 'due to fractures'#the character pretending to be american by wearing maga hats that have spy gear built into them#the spy gear in question is an alarm that blares if someone lies in their vicinity#'stuff protocol ' said the queen. 'i'm getting hammered tonight'#the chapter where the prime minister is trying to watch the news so she keeps wandering into bars and tv shops and getting kicked out#the dragon that's casually described as 'about the size of 1000 elephants'#the dragon that's a 'dog dragon hybrid with a chihuahua body and a giant dragon head'#the dragon that's owner punched it in the face and only lets people approach if they 'do the iconic royal wave'#the characters being described as 'the short one' 'the guy with the beard' etc#but there being a lengthy detailed description of the characters in harry potter#'apparently a dragon had burnt essex to cinders in a matter of minutes'#anyways i found out they also wrote (a political parody of indiana jones???) for this book of kids short stories years ago#and you know. we needed to know#so it took me like 4 months to track this precious lost media down#which was very worth it because it turns out it's full of many other iconic gems like CELLAR HELL by Elizabeth Elgie (12)

Them having Mike in this purple-magenta-blue palette when the first two have never been part of his repertoire is…hmm. It’s so abnormal for him. I noticed it with the first sweater but with these new pics it seems like it’s not a one-time occurrence so I’m cautiously deeming it worth pointing out because to me…it does look kinda like bi flag shades 😅 I don’t fully subscribe to this kind of evidence but a) there is precedent for ST costuming leaving sexuality hints in clothing & b) I just think it’s interesting in the season he’s suspected to be revealed as queer they coincidentally start dressing him all 🩷💜💙. I’m not attached to any one opinion in the gay/bi Mike discourse so this isn’t trying to prove a point just…noticing interesting things.
Mike’s palette is blue-yellow-green-red so it’s really strange seeing him in these outfits. It’s interesting how in his ep 1/2 fit he’s still in his normal palette but then something changes? We have no idea what of course except…the first sweater seemingly goes on around the time him & El get separated into different groups (farm). I did see someone say he’s wearing purple because of El but you can read my tags to debunk that lol
#byler#I don’t think it’s normal to switch up a character’s wardrobe in such a specific uncharacteristic way after 4 seasons without reason#I also saw someone say purple is “El’s colour” but I don’t see proof for that. we’re just told one time that she likes both yellow & purple#which is why Mike wore both at the rink as a symbol of trying to be what she wants. but that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here#there’s no yellow and purple it’s magenta and blue and purple#plus didn’t we understand last season that the wearing of her fav colours was bad? and was Mike trying to change himself for approval?#why would they suddenly make it a romantic symbol now in the final season of the be true to who you are TV show? that doesn’t make any sens

I see a lot of people upset about William Kaplan being dead and no one mourning him cus Billy stole his body and I just don't see it that way. The kid in Wanda Vision is Billy Maximoff, The teenager at the Bar Mitzvah is William Kaplan, the Teen that got taken to the hospital after the wreck is neither and both Billy Maximoff and William Kaplan. That Teen went home with the abilities of Billy Maximoff, to the home of William Kaplan, with memories of neither and lived there for three years. He cares about Rebecca and Jeff, he lied to the to protect them from pain, they are his parents. He wants to find Tommy, he has magical powers, he wants to know who he is. All of these things are true. I wouldn't say William Kaplan is dead he just doesn't remember, like Agatha wasn't dead when he was Agnes, she just didn't remember.
#its fully possible the witches road will give Teen both his memories back cus thats the thing he's missing. making him not William Kaplan#and not Billy Maximoff but Billy Kaplan a mix of the two.#agatha all along#agatha harkness#billy kaplan#william kaplan#billy maximoff#and to all the people pissed that he isn't finding Wanda. womp womp this is about his brother and if you looked you would have seen that.#rumor has it Tommy will be in Vision Quest right? Tommy has to be set up somewhere! he doesn't have magic. and why would they bring back#THE SCARLETT WITCH in a marvel tv show? that's a huge moment they want that sucker for a movie.#marvel#jeff kaplan#rebecca kaplan#also for people up set e6 was billy focused.... yeah mcu projects have set ups for other projects.#even Moon Knight set up Wearwolf by knight. then She Hulk and spiderman had a set up for Daredevil. wandavision set up for Agatha All Along#and the Marvels. Mrs Marvel had a set up for The Marvels. thats kinda how the mcu works its a conected story#teen agatha all along#in the show it shows he doesn't actually remember tommy if he didn't he wouldn't have had to find Ralph. he was surprised wanda had twins#named billy and tommy and that one could read mind while the other was a speedster. all he knows about tommy is that he can feel him#and hes missing.#he probably doesn't know what tommy looks like or sounds like or acts all he know is he can feel him MIA and wants him back.#.........#im back. i also see people stiching that one scene with for lack of better term Teen looking in the mirror going I am William Kaplan and#taking it as Billy adjusting to the body hes in now. one even calling him the monster inhabiting Williams body. and i dont think that it.#he doesn't remember being Billy Maximoff OR William Kaplan. again calling him Teen. Teen is looking in the mirror at a body and face that is#completely alien to him because it is! he has amnesia. he's looking in a mirror with no idea who is looking at him not because hes Billy but#because its no one at that moment hes nothing. he has no idea who he is at all. all he know is thats his body his name is William and his#parents and worried and he know that cus he can read minds. thats it nothing else

tbh i dont think the finale was as complicated as everyone makes it out to be. sutekh is a viewer, just like us. hes obsessed with the "mystery". ruby's mum isn't the reason it snows, or the reason that christmas eve 2004 is "raw and open" and keeps changing. its sutekhs obsession. he gave that night its importance by building it up and obsessing over the answer to the one question he couldnt find, in the same way that we did. we gave rubys abandonment its huge significance with all our theories and our desperate need to understand. in a way, we are sutekh. voyeurs of a deeply personal moment that we never had any right to. building ruby into a mystery when shes really just a person. shes special because we believe she is. time is memory.
#god the use of tv as a medium in this season was unparalleled#to US theyre tv show characters but to THEM theyre living people#of course the reveal was anticlimactic#ruby sunday isnt a legendary tale. shes not a chosen one#shes just ruby#she worked so hard for her happy ending and she deserves it#ruby and her mum are paralleled by the kind woman and her baby#not 'special' or alien or chosen by fate#just kind#what saves a broken world?#random acts of kindness.#doctor who#doctor who spoilers#ruby sunday#empire of death

Criminal Minds Evolution 17x05 - Conspiracy vs Theory
"Ever since I was arrested, I have sold out every value I've held dear. And when you do that, it gets harder and harder to tell the difference between a 'conspiracy' and a conspiracy theory."
#emily prentiss#david rossi#tv: criminal minds#criminal minds evolution#criminalmindsedit#cmedit#criminal minds 17x05#long post#honestly this season was so good to emily#as someone who enjoys her character and complexity#bad for the character's mental health#but so great to watch paget brewster#act up a storm and this scene is amazing#i love their relationship a lot#father and favorite daughter#THEY ALL NEED THERAPY#you can see emily's need to run getting triggered#this is the longest she's ever stayed in one place#and she's not even jetting off and on the field to scratch the#running itch#these are the moments why#i will always love evolution

Courtney: Take a right here. Oscar: Absolutely not. Courtney: C’mon! I have an idea. Oscar: Getting arrested for kidnapping is a terrible idea. [Oscar rolled his eyes as Courtney grinned and raised her hand threateningly; snorting, he threw the indicator on and pulled over with acquiescence, lest she get any ideas and grab the steering wheel herself] … Courtney: Is Levi ready? Nadia: For? Courtney: Camping. Nadia: He’s not going. Courtney: Oh-.. we’ve already booked a spot for him. Nadia: Hm. Courtney: It’d be easier if he were out of your hair for a week though-.. right? [Nadia squinted at the slightly unkempt woman before her; she was clearly mistaken in her previous assumptions that Courtney was a simple, feebleminded housewife] Nadia: Don’t take me for a fool. Courtney: Alright, what’s it gonna be then? Nadia: LEVI! Nadia: Do you want to go camping with these.. people? Levi: I thought you said-… Nadia: Do. You. Want. To. Go? … Nadia: That was quick-.. you won’t bring any bad habits back, will you? Levi: I’ll try not to. Nadia: I’ll miss you, sweetheart. [Levi clenched his bag tightly and ignored his mother’s outstretched arms, knowing full well they’d remain firmly plastered to her waist were there not a car full of Finch’s right next to them] Levi: Hey-.. scootch over, losers. Ava: Hi, Levi’s mommy! [Levi shut the door before Nadia could respond, catching naught but a glimpse of her upturned nose as Oscar sped off]

So we are all aware that these two mfs share the cringefail gene of being simps:
But I do believe that these two would have similarly terrible romantic plots if given half the chance and am very grateful that these plots were NOT INCLUDED. Thank god. That might have actually been more traumatic than the movie.
#this also directly aligns with my personal headcannon of an aroace leo having ✨️trouble✨️ with relationships#the rottmnt donnie one i can literally hear him saying in my head tho#and yes it is very realistic for isolated teenagers who have grown up on tv to idolise romantic situations and get in their own head#12!Donnie and MM!Leo im here for u#but please stip idolising april she is but a troubled teen who needs a friend - not aphrodite reincarnate#the being put on a pedestal for no reason but i was nice to u hits home for me tbh#they need more friends#i was gonna title this “the crigefail gene of being allo” at first#tmnt#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt 2012#rottmnt#tmnt mutant mayhem#tmnt leonardo#tmnt donatello#2012 donatello#mm leonardo#rottmnt leonardo#rottmnt donatello#disaster twins#being disaster bi's#thankfully not crushing on april tho#aromantic leonardo#cause i cant not
