When BoJack Horseman (2014-2020) said "you can't keep doing shitty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it ok. you need to be better" and "all we have are the connections we make" and "I really should've thought about the view from halfway down" and "sometimes you have to take responsibility for your own happiness" and "you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, you turn yourself around, THAT'S what it's all about" and "things have to get worse before they can get better" and "in real life, the big gesture isn't enough, you need to be consistent" and "if we hadn't met each other until now, we wouldn't be the people we are now" and, my personal favourite, "every day it gets a little easier, but you gotta do it every day, that's the hard part, but it does get easier".
I’m getting really tired of the wise serene pacifist trope in fiction. Every committed pacifist, prison abolitionist, antiwar activist, etc I’ve ever met in real life has been vibrating with compressed rage at all times. Do you know what it’s like to believe deeply in your heart that doing harm to others is wrong and the goal of society should be to alleviate suffering for all people and live in the United States of America? IT’S NOT FUN. Show Us The Pissed-Off Pacifists.
Oh my god the question at the center of death note isn’t “how do we make the world a better place” it’s “if a cop’s son had the power of a god, would that be fucked up or what”
I like that Marry My Husband didn't just give us a Cinderella moment for the female lead where she ditches her glasses for contacts and starts wearing form-fitting clothes. They also gave us a Cinderfella moment for the male lead where he ditches his glasses for contacts and starts wearing form-fitting clothes.
Everyone is talking about Sumin and how interesting she is as a villain because she's different but... Min-hwan is legit terrifying because he's so ordinary. Men like him are everywhere: entitled, resentful, misogynist, explosively angry - but capable of appearing normal, and even charming, in the workplace and in other areas of their lives.
Yu-ra is not scary because she's so over the top. Nobody expects that their lives will include an unhinged chaebol heiress plotting murder-by-white-truck and then personally lighting the fire to remove witnesses.
Min-hwan? He's petty and common, and every one of us knows a petty and common man, and every one of us knows a woman who's been hurt by one.
I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.
When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.
They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸
