Me when I see fanart of Azriel and Gwyn having sex in the library, the safe space for SA and trauma survivors

something something about the cultural porn brain rot language that always makes sex out to be something that's done TO a woman and not WITH. "I tapped that" "I smashed still" "I hit that" "beat it up" it's all so aggressive and always as something that's done to her or that she "let's you do to her" instead of a mutual act

The insinuation that Lucien would treat his mate like a pet is so gross. That Elain would be docile and go along with that treatment is even grosser.

Where do they even come up with this bullshit?

I may have come across as a prude in my other post about the portrayal of sex in That 90s Show and I want to assure you I am not. I was once a sexually active teen myself who had sexually active friends, but still the way they are so casual about it is extremely unrelatable to me. The characters in That 70s Show were also sexually active sooner or later but their arcs were just so much more relatable and true to life in my opinion. And I think that speaks of a bigger trend of how media has changed.

If you watch old shows from 90s and 00s, they are just overall more innocent and wholesome? Maybe sometimes too innocent (*cough* Gilmore Girls*cough*) but overall they just portray the awkwardness and sweetness of it much better. I know there were some problematic storylines that I am glad were buried since then like the whole student-teacher thing (even though I heard Riverdale did it in 2016?) overall I think those shows portrayed teendom better. Nowadays it seems like everything is for shock value and just to create discourse around the show. Think of Seth and Summer's awkward first time on The OC. Or Kelso and Jackie's/Donna and Eric's bad first times on That 70s Show. Blair's drunken first time with an asshole that she regrets at first on Gossip Girl.

(Obviously there were times when these storylines were too prudish to the point it was unrealistic. Aforementioned Gilmore Girls come to mind where Rory had a two year relationship where the furthest they got was kissing with tongue, Dawson's Creek where Joey pondered for months if she should lose her virginity to her long term boyfriend who she had known her whole life and her dilemma was juxtaposed with Dawson's dilemma about whether to unplug a dying guy from his life support, The Secret Life of American Teenager where Amy got pregnant on her first time and Grace's dad died in a plane crash after hers. Then there was the unhinged moment in One Tree Hill where Haley and Nathan got married in high school to be able to have sex. No I am not talking about these specifically.)

Compare that to how Kat was mocked for being a virgin at *gasp* 16 on Euphoria and told she needs to "catch a dick" so she ends up sleeping with an asshole who records it, puts it on PornHub and makes her famous, which prompts her to start making money by doing porn. She's not the only one from her class too, Maddy, Jules and Cassie are all 16-17 year old girls that also have sex tapes of them. Maddy also casually lost her virginity at 14 to a 40 year old man put she was "totally in control". Jules has been sleeping with random grown men from dating apps since she turned 16. Maddy also jumps into the pool at a party with a college boy and starts having sex with him/pretending to be having sex with him in front of everyone and it's not even the most scandalous thing to happen at that party. See how that seems to be made just for shock value with no substance or attempt at relatability?

It's similar with That 70s Show vs That 90s Show- on the former the characters were sexually active but there was that awkwardness about it whereas on That 90s Show apart from Leia everyone seems super experienced, confident and like they've been having sex for years despite the fact that they are even younger that the characters on That 70s Show. Everyone even found it weird that Leia didn't have a first kiss yet at the age of 15 and took her to the mall to kiss a random guy. I really wish the point of that episode was "don't feel pressured and take your time" but no instead that episode ended with Leia literally forcing herself on a guy while he was working just so she can have her first kiss over with. What kind of message is that sending? That 90s Show characters when it comes to sex seem to have the experience of the average college student, not the average sophomore/junior in high school. Same can be said about Euphoria.

"But teen shows have always pushed the envelope" well yes and the aforementioned Gossip Girl and Skins come to mind but even then, it wasn't just constant meaningless fucking everyone all the time. Similarly to Euphoria, on the first episode of Skins, Tony tells Sid that he needs to lose his virginity ASAP because he's almost 17 and it's "embarrassing". Yet Sid doesn't succumb to the pressure and doesn't do it just because. It is implied he only does it once he is in a relationship with Cassie. And he is not even the only character who is a virgin in that generation, there is also Anwar who also loses it when it feels right not because he is pressured to. Yes there are characters that are sexually active (although it is more over the top than in real life) but also virgins, and that is more true to life than Kat being the only virgin left in the entire high school. I even know some people in 2nd or 3rd year of college who are virgins and that's okay. No one really shames them and tells them that they need to "catch a dick asap" and if someone does then they're an asshole.

However I will say that Never Have I Ever is one new show that did it right.

[respectthepetty]

I Cannot Reach You's finale was disgustingly adorable!

It had all the innocent questions like, "How do I tell him I like him?"

"How do I make it super duper special?" while stressing about what to wear when he confesses

and finally, "Are we dating now?"

Soft. Sweet. It makes me sick!

They are crying because they like each other so much. ACTUAL TEARS!

Like trying to ace a test to be worthy of the other one.

And having little awkward kisses in the school.

That almost get them caught because Yamato can't stop!

They are even having little fights!

But the color-coded bokeh effect was still there merging their colors together BECAUSE THEY LOVE EACH OTHER!

Because everything is color coded in this show including the school supplies and wall posters.

Like I wrote, disgustingly adorable.

So cute. So gross.

I loved it.

[glorious-spoon]

tootsie rolls are weirdly addictive considering how objectively disgusting they are

[sugaronmytonguedotmp4]

i still can't get over how Chris Frantz introduced David's personality in Remain in Love with an acknowledgement that they'd all come to find out David was autistic later in life, and that just does not spark any empathetic reflection in the way things transpired. like thinking about Remain in Love as a narrative, as a story, Frantz makes David the antagonist and spends the whole narrative as the victim.

anyways i hate that book lmao

Step 1: Cheat Balemurk in to begin self-milling as quickly as possible.

Step 2: Cheat in second Balemurk in from Graveyard with Faithful. Return Faithful to hand. Faithful is basically a res spell in this scenario.

Step 3: Keep milling until you dump Valgavoth, trade in Faithful for him.

If you're lucky, you can get Valley out as quickly as turn four. I imagine if you put in some Green ramp it could be even faster. Might experiment with that.

[animatronic-assistant]

sneezes on u but not in a rude way but not in a nice way either

O-oh... here is a tissue.

She hands them a tissue.

If you do not mind, I need to... wash now.

She heads to the lake to wash herself because dirty dirty dirty, need to wash, need to clean.

ah... I have Triggered Myself Badly

Cool reminder: Finding bad characters interesting does not equal a person's real life moral compass or even, shock horror, their political leanings

Wow tumblr I thought we were past this
