I would just like to say that if Luigi Mangione is a murderer then so was Brian Thompson. you cannot justify what Brian did with "oh well nobody deserves to die!!" when he was ALSO a murderer! in fact he was by definition a serial killer.

"what about his family?" what about the families of the over 100,00 people he killed by denying over 40,000 insurance claims a year since 2021? you can't expect people to feel sympathy for this man when he killed so many people and left their families with soo much debt and grief. we are going to spread our "eat the rich" propaganda and we are going to continue shitting on your corrupt ass white men until we start seeing some real, actual change. just because we've waited over 50 years doesn't mean we're gonna stop now.

As someone who's been a Team Starkid fan since the beginning, since 2009... do the young fans who only know hatchetfield know the old lore?? Do you know about crying in the choir room?? Do you know the door gag? Do you know Liam's got a phone call? Do you know about the iconic accidental sing along SanFran Con appearance? This isn't me being elitist or anything, I genuinely want to know! I just feel so very much older than all of you, all the time. Does anyone remember Tanya and her gay little blonde bob???

Rewatching Wish for the 30th time.

Magnifico’s villain arc wasn’t a matter of if

It was a matter of WHEN

Asha may have been a key part of his villain arc, but if it wasn’t her, it would’ve been someone else. He overreacts to the citizens questioning him and turns to dark magic during a song number where he talks about not being respected… by a kingdom of people who adore him, trust him, and some of whom are in love with him (something something “so you had a bad day”).

Magnifico may have seemed like a benevolent king, but past “At All Costs” and all through the movie, we see that this benevolence is all a big front, much like King Candy in Wreck it Ralph being a jolly and caring leader only to have a vendetta against a little girl who wants to race (and then gets revealed to be a huge fraud).

He reacts badly to being questioned even if the one questioning him is making good points, such as Asha’s suggestion to just GIVE BACK and I repeat GIVE BACK (gotta emphasize that because if I see one more post or stupid picture declaring that Asha wanted everyone’s wish to be granted and ignoring the part where she did not fucking say that, I’m gonna find your address and mail a pipe bomb with glitter and streamers attached) everyone’s wishes so they have a chance to make them come true and since he can take people’s wishes, he can see and stop any bad ones that’ll bring harm to Rosas.

Combine his refusal to accept criticism or basic questions with the petty cruelty he shows Asha and her family, from giving her a front row seat to witness her Saba’s disappointment at the Wish granting ceremony and later confirmation that he won’t grant his or her mother’s wishes, and the scene of him crushing Sakina’s wish, where he didn’t even know he could gain power from destroying the wishes, he just did that to add a layer of cruelty on the asshole cake.

And if it hadn’t been Asha, it would’ve been someone else. Magnifico had been an underlying villain throughout the movie and probably some time before it, all it took was people bruising his ego for him to go off the deep end and go from “benevolent king” to “cruel tyrant”. Funnily enough, there are people like Magnifico who, even without forbidden magic or an evil, star-stealing staff, they’re still wicked inside.

Was reading fanfic the other day and the author was like. Putting a disclaimer in front of like "i do not support this character, he doesn't deserve redemption, this fic is only set in a period where x, y, and z happened so he's a dick but not irredeemable, I don't support his actions especiallyif they happened in real life" etc etc and like. I enjoyed their fic. But also how sad, having to defend your writing, your ship, having to put "i like the ship but only in these circumstances, I'm a good person" in your pre-work notes to defend yourself.

People shouldn't have to do that when they write. It makes me sad for what we've lost and disgusted for what we've become.

Remember when I said that the reason for all of the ferrari drama is because of the blind idolisation from charles fans and the hyper defensiveness from carlos fans? If you head over to twitter now you will see that I was 100% correct🙃

All I want is for both drivers to be respected by the fanbase and apparently thats too much to ask for

My life is a sitcom

[folkloristico]

I love how Matt Murdock is just the Biggest Dilf™️ and you can literally see the chemistry with anyone. Jennifer? Sweet, cute, funny, heart-warming. Foggy? This man is the #1 Matt Murdock apologist and he would jump off a cliff before he lets anything happen to him. Frank? Delicious shit. The chemistry, the parallels. “You [Matt] are what I could’ve been, I [Frank] am what you are afraid to become.” Elektra? Hot as fuck. Invented chemistry. People were converted to bisexuality thanks to them.

But Claire? I am never shutting up about her. I’m unhinged over this woman. This woman who despite the fact that she couldn’t defend herself from many of the people she stood against—people twice her size, people with guns, people who had trained, people with superpowers—never let it stop her from helping others. So she meets this man—this man who acts as though he has to carry the weight of the entire world on his shoulders—and falls in love. But there’s just so much she can take before she walks away.

And I love her for that. People have a habit of framing female characters who act like she does as weak or whatever but that’s not Claire. The scene where she says goodbye to Matt kills me but it’s just so good. You can see she feels for him, but she also realizes that as for now, Matt isn’t the kind of man who’s right for her—the kind of man that he could be—and she lets him go. Same she did with Luke. Because there’s only much she can take.

And I can’t stop thinking about how Clairedevil was the epitome of ‘right person, wrong time’. The Matt who goes to LA and meets Jennifer is a different man, a better man. Jennifer accepts both the man and the hero and I love her for that, but Claire’s problem was never Daredevil but rather the way Matt was so obsessed with his duty as a hero that he couldn’t see past it. I think Claire would love this changed man who has finally found a balance in his life.

Please Alysmond is not a ~romantic~ story. It's about the rape of a woman whose entire family was murdered by a rapist prince. Comparing her tragedy to Daphne Du Maurier's romance trivializes other victims' suffering.

Okaaaay!!!

So this question is definitely a jab at my tags from this particular post (an excellent one, i might add):

If this harmless thing (that was OBVIOUSLY meant to be taken as a fucking joke) got you spitting nails in my asks, then I seriously hope some therapy is covered under your current healthcare plan. Because I hate to be the one to break it to you -- BUT the next three seasons are going to be insufferable on this platform. I highly recommend you 1) delete your twitter account if you have one, 2) get a job and 3) find some real purpose in life before you further short-circuit your fuse.

I am actually irritated at you for making me look these tags up! BUT it also lets me suspect that the anon from original post is also sent by you - because despite this slumping economy and rising joblessness, it still takes a special breed of talentless cretin to mald over these hashtags. And if my assumption is true, then these have to be the most milquetoast 'attack' against your indignant response for this particular ship. So yes, FUCK you!

I am not going to repeat my arguments for why I find this couple compelling. If anyone is interested, then I shall direct you to this post. Instead, I want to focus on this loser blaming me for 'trivializing' sexual assualt. Once again, FUCK you! The fact that too many of you are so media challenged is beyond me!! It's a fucking show, for FUCK's sake!

It's fine if you don't deem them 'romantic', and regardless of what you believe, I am not here to change your mind on Alysmond or any of these characters. You can engage with it however you like.. BUT it takes a special kind of privileged arsehole to go about attacking people for liking ships they are not comfortable with. It takes a special kind of imbecile to engage in these casual mudslinging over fictional characters. Such a classic ad-hominem response!

For shame anon, FOR SHAAAAAAME!
