#ugh just this entire show

[heretherebedork]

Still the queerest show on air, still giving the best advice, still sprinkling in fantastic medical knowledge and plenty of politics. Hey, this show is how I learned that Thailand legalized abortions since Manner of Death aired!

(Also, next week is finally delivering the drama I knew was coming and predicted from day one... what happens when an out gay man dates a closeted gay man without an understanding of why he's closeted? It's going to tear me apart, y'all. Army and Joe are going to destroy me.)

i love crystal and charles having an emotionally inadvisable hookup charles can't even FEEL in one room while niko and edwin sit cross-legged on niko's bed watching scooby doo in the other

people love to talk about invincible for it's over the top gore and violence, but i really do think the show's writing is at it's best when it's just two people have a conversation

mayhaps this is a hot take but I truly dislike “Loid gets murderous and overprotective of Anya dating Damian” content

like. there are sm reasons I dislike it

first off, just fundamentally, I hate that trope. I think parents being protective of children in general is cute, and even maybe protective against their partners to an extent, but it rlly feeds into the Western (esp American) notion of parents owning their children. it gets even grosser when it’s the dad and his daughter, it’s just a branch of ‘women and their purity having to be guarded until they’re properly married’ sexism

secondly, if this is pre-reveal (either Damian comes over/talks to Anya in front of Loid and it’s p obvious he has a crush, so Loid, of course, course notices, OR somehow, post-canon yet not revealed, they get together), Loid would absolutely use that to advance Operation Strix lol

obviously Loid is NOT a bad or uncaring father, he is absolutely not that, BUT he does also very vehemently care about achieving world peace thru his spy work, AND ANYA UNDERSTANDS AND EVEN AGREES WITH THIS (to the highest extent she can as a child, at least). he would never partake in extensive manipulation that’d harm Anya emotionally (or even Damian tbh, his whole goal is to create a world where no children have to cry) but he would DEFINITELY encourage their relationship in order to eventually, somehow get to Desmond the ghoul-eyed freak

thirdly, even if this is POST-reveal, I still don’t think Loid would be unreasonable. sure, he may apprehensive due to Damian’s family and more concrete examples of Anya growing up (MAYBE bc honestly I think Loid would be ecstatic with every milestone in Anya’s life considering how genuinely supportive and proud of her that he is) BUT. but

he, again, not only wants to create a world where no children have to cry, so he clearly values the youth and their quality of life, but ALSO KNOWS abt how shitty Damian’s father is. personally, I think he’d be GLAD that Damian has a safe place to come to, with ppl who’ll support him (unconsciously, bc Loid is very oblivious to his own emotions lmao)

anyways, tldr; the “Loid being super hostile to Damian dating Anya” trope is tired and sucks and we should move onto appreciating a trope that honours the CORE of sxf, more found family, where Damian joins the Forgers, even before he and Anya potentially marry (even before they date if possible tbh)

I like the human actors a lot too! (I say as if the actors weren’t initially human)

Thinking of Sevika letting Jinx rest her head (only) on her shoulder to avoid as much contact with her as possible but slowly realizes this is something Jinx only does with someone she loves and it's what she needed at one point too.........................

I wanted to hit Monty with a golf club when he was being ruthless to Bloodmoon. I understand that Bloodmoon and his brother weren’t good people, but to do this to him is just…

I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT TBH YEA.

Icl I usually take the podcast eps with a grain of salt because, to me, they read more as, like, the VAs going "look at our character. now look at us poke fun at them in ways we can't normally do without it being wildly out of left field" yk?? and they're the funniest gd thing ever to me as a result I'm sorRYRHAHAHAHA

BUT FROM A LEGITIMATE IN-UNIVERSE LOOK. IT MAKES SENSE BUT UGH YEA MY HEART JUST BROKE WATCHING THE COMPLETE TONE SHIFT BETWEEN THE BREAK. They took it all in stride and they handled every question pretty well! Even though the Bloodtwins were very clearly being picked on, they had each other to bounce off of and it led to fun bickering!! But without the other twin, he's just so..... quiet. It's almost eerie in a way I can't quite place, yk?

He has no one with him to go "psh these fuckin dumbasses. these idiots. we could tear them to shreds," because now when he thinks that, there's just an echo. There's no new quip. There's nothing to bounce off of. It's just himself, just one in a body more comfortably inhabited by two. and it makes me so ueueue

I don't ever wanna look at the hotd subreddit again, sorry that you people can not appreciate doomed yuri

[theriverbeyond]

i hate suggested/for you pages so much.... i feel like the act of following a person/account went from meaning you want to see more of that person's specific stuff (active, direct) to meaning you want to get shown more stuff that is potentially similar to them (passive, random?), as determined by the ever changing black box algorithm. when it is all just "content", the artist/individual is rendered disposable and forgettable as they are only a means to an end for things like viewcounts and targeted advertising and never ending scrolling to make sure you (the piggy bank) keep that app open.

Watching the Obito Reveal in naruto and while I still want to punch this guy in the face, I'm rly enjoying seeing how emotional Kakashi is getting AND how supportive Guy is being to him. Like Fuck You, obito, guy is here and he's better than you in every fucking way. Up to and including giving kakashi the support he deserves ❤️

Goldie needs to be able to one up Scrooge (it’s practically an addiction). So when the twins arrived and she hated them she needed a new approach. And she already had stocks in Scrooges business and maybe she’s been neglecting them sooo perhaps she should pay some special attention.
