#which was an…. interesting choice

Why do I get the feeling Maddie and Chimney weren’t allowed to have a “proper” wedding ceremony because the writers couldn’t choose between Buck or Josh being Maddie’s Maid (man?) of Honour? It’s obvious Hen was gonna be Best Man (woman?) but I guess they just went “sorry we’re gonna have to stick Chim in the hospital and have everyone stood in a clump so we can avoid deciding which one will stand next to Maddie, you’ve gotta pick your battles and this ain’t one of them, what can you do?”

Someone needs to do an analysis on the way the Kung Fu Panda movies use old-fashioned vs. modern language ("Panda we meet at last"/"Hey how's it going") and old-fashioned vs. modern settings (forbidden-city-esque palaces/modern-ish Chinese restaurant) to indicate class differences in their characters, and how those class differences create underlying tensions and misunderstandings.

“Vi was finally doing something selfish for herself.”

Literally shut up. How about she does that ANY OTHER TIME! We were all excited to see Cait and Vi get it on but the set up is awful, im so sorry what the actual.

It’s just so blatantly out of character for Vi. Her sister needs her, she’s there. Vi knew what Jinx was going to do and she was distraught but then just switched?? Because it wasn’t really Vi making that decision it was Amanda and Alex.

I got spoiled about the Ekko and Jinx scene and my first thought was. What did they do to Vi? Why did Vi leave Jinx’s side? She would know what she’s thinking. Did Jinx get away from her somehow? Yes… about that.

Vi choosing something for herself would have been a crucial part of her arc and a necessary part but certainly don’t do that when Jinx has made it clear to both Vi and the audience that she’s going to hurt herself.

I’m not mad at Vi because she would never but I am upset that was the set up they went for. It’s ok to like the caitvi bit (I guess…) but just don’t try to defend the set up, for both of our sanities.

I was going to make a post about how Duke is the only Robin Dick chose but then I remembered that Alfred actually chose him first. Then I remembered that Alfred chose Damian, too, by handing him the suit first in Battle for the Cowl. Then I remembered that Alfred also helps convince Bruce to make Tim Robin. So Alfred essentially chooses/endorses every Robin post-Jason, and weirdly has more of a say in the Robin legacy than either Dick or Bruce.

not enough discussion about the gavins' complicated relationship with feminine-coded/beauty products, i don't think.

One of my biggest pet peeves is the justice league being labelled as " The Avengers of DC" and its like. No? The avengers are law enforcement. The Justice League are volunteers

I PEEKED IN MY DRAFTS AND REALIZED I HADN'T pOSTED THIS-

A bunch of Sayus for the soul! i don't do fanart very often, but there's something about it that makes you notice and appreciate small details in the character design

Not to be really annoying and go ‘well actually’ to the joke about how silcos a twink who probably didn’t do shit in the mines and that miners all look like vander and are these big buff burly dudes is very much some propaganda in ur brain and not the reality of what conditions are like for miners from impoverished communities. You know they use children in mines bc they’re small right. If you’ve consumed any footage showing messed up mining communities that exists irl, like people who work in cobalt mines in Congo, they’re muscular, but at a glance, they’re not jacked and look pretty average. I think a lot of people are surprised seeing that they tend to be small and lanky for people doing hard manual labor all day, but that comes from not being able to afford enough quality food. You have to eat a ton of calories to get built, and that isn’t something many people who work in mines have.

emily prentiss + leaving and coming back for her family

my Stephanie Brown hot take is that she should get mad bitches now that she's single in comics. Yes yes shipping BUT the one time she had sex she was punished by the narrative via teen pregnancy. I think she should be allowed to have as much sex as she wants with zero consequences. Could be a lot of sex, could be a little. Point is she should get to do it without getting narratively baby trapped this time. she should get them pregnant, actually.

When people are like Wei Wuxian was NOT suicidal it’s like. Ok sure. He just believed that his debt to the Jiangs should be paid with everything up to and including his life. And also that the moral and obvious thing to do in any situation is to put himself between anyone and harm's way. This is because he thinks he’s unkillable but he makes himself unkillable for the same reason he’ll die for a good enough reason: because it’s a way to have worth!

And then famously once everything goes to shit he does beg Lan Wangji to let him die as part of the moment where he is either destroyed by his own evil magic or lets his own evil magic tear him apart, a distinction I don't personally think matters very much at that point. Less explicitly textually, his mentally ill ass behavior after he gives up his core says to me that he wishes that he'd died honorably for Jiang Cheng when he had the chance and doesn't know what to do with himself since he hasn't.

Again I’m aware that he’s operating under a pretty specific set of culturally informed norms as a cultivator and member of a sect but like. TO ME. Everything about how Wei Wuxian conducts himself indicates that he has a box in his mind at all times that says 'in case of emergency break glass' and what’s inside the box is his own death. All the sound of mind actions of a man who has a normal and not suicidal relationship to death.

The figure at the center isn't Jinx. The figure isn't wearing the right shirt, she's missing Jinx's cloud smoke tattoos, and you can see her dark hair under the blue hair reach her back as it falls in front of her arm and behind her shoulder.

While the braids are black and white to imply that is the figure's actual hair, it's sprayed on blue like the rest of the youths in the background, because she is like them. The figure at the center is just another kid in the crowd, and they've essentially been designed like they're wearing a Jinx wig, all the kids are.

The artist for this mural is showing that anyone can be like Jinx as long as you want to fight for Zaun. Jinx represents an ideology that these kids choose to embody in both style and action. They're united in blue in their rebellion.

everyone loves talking about the batshit worldbuilding in WoT but I feel like everybody tends to overlook the Vaguely Evil Elves From Another Dimension that have their own officially licensed chutes and ladders-esque board game that you Cannot Ever Win
