#wait...now i see the appeal

[fullmetal-scar-simping]

Is there anything more weak than the attempt to shut down all media analysis and critique by appealing to a "everything is valid and different! Stop making it a pissing match," point of view? Either the stories are "too different" to compare and contrast, or they're "ultimately all fma so why should we fight". Maybe some people can't get it through their heads, but disagreement, venting amongst those who feel similarly, and critique are not inherently a fight.

And I'm sorry, but "breaking the cycle of violence" is a shit trope to tack onto a plot that uses a genocide and ethnic cleansing as its foundation, with heaping layers of "those poor little war criminals, stop being mean to them" to add insult to bad storytelling.

How people are interpreting Alastor's final verse on Twitter: OMG, he's terrified that he's going soft! He's questioning his loyalties! The deal he's talking about is the one he made with Charlie, and he wants to break that because he doesn't wanna get attached to her! He's secretly becoming a better person! OMG!

Meanwhile, the way I interpret it: The deal he's talking about is the one Husk mentioned in episode 5, being on "a leash". Someone is restraining him, possibly has his soul, and he HATES being reminded of it. He wants freedom, because he DESPISES being bound to someone else, is looking for a way to out, and the second he does, he'll be "pulling the strings" again. He's either only helping the hotel because of this deal, OR it's limiting his power somehow, and that's why him almost dying made him "hungry for freedom" more than ever. He's not going soft, he's still got his own agenda.

i love my family so much. @actuallylukedanes had plans to go with their spouse to the state fair yesterday, and i planned to use my alone time to work on projects. but when i idly mentioned that i wished i could go to the fair too, because smaller local fairs were an essential and literally-every-year part of my life growing up, my best friend said there was no reason i couldn't--and their spouse's reaction to the idea was to be enthusiastically in support.

these two people, my own chosen family, not only gave me a ride so i could enjoy the day, but spent as much of it with me as possible just because we could all have fun together. and they never once made it seem like i was crashing their couple time, and when i chose to try and walk the grounds rather than using a mobility device (like i do during zoo visits that make leander happy) they never once treated me like i couldn't handle it and enforce my own limits or like i was dragging everything down by needing breaks.

so this is just an appreciation post for my people, who were happy to invite me at the last minute for a day of sun and strangers and entertainment and curly fries and testing my limits. it was nice to be reminded that i'm capable of more than my everyday routine, and also to be reminded of the way i used to live, that i miss. spontaneous plans, and trading spoons for experiences without regretting it, and not assuming that i need to stay home while everyone else does things (or assuming that i should avoid being around two people who don't get a lot of time together, cuz i don't want to bother them).

yesterday was a really good day.

i now understand why the [REDACTED] MA animal shelter was so rapturous and asked so few questions when i applied for mackie. before she even came in, a very interested home for a hard to adopt little black cat who spent less than a week in the shelter getting fixed up??? they worked on her like a fucking nascar pit crew to get her out the door to me and a new cat in her crate. also. crucially, almost nothing was wrong with her i lucked the fuck out

Thinking about one of the loser men I dated directly post-college who, after I showed them Dirty Computer [the emotion picture] by Janelle Monae, said they "prefer rap that has something to say"

sometimes you read something for a fandom you were crazy over years ago and you encounter one of the ships you loved back then and you just think “yeahhhh…. this is still great :) way to go younger me you were so based about this actually :)”
