Y/N and Ken walked hand and hand towards the beach where their counterparts were waiting for them, but also soaking up some sun. They stood at the top of the sand dunes before Y/N cleared his throat, gaining the attention of the Kens and Y/Ns.

"Attention my fellow Y/Ns and Kens. Ken and I have been to the real world for a couple of days and we've discovered that the men there are very different from here in Barbie Land." Y/N said.

"They have horses and patriarchy!" Ken cried excitedly.

"And we've also discovered that the men beach each off very differently as well. Instead of a well choreographed dance number and song. The men in the real world beach each other off by touching each other's genitals until this white sticky substance comes out."

"It's possibly milk." Ken said.

Tourist Ken/Rival Ken rolled his eyes. "Is that a fact, Ken? Prove it. Show us." All the other Kens and Y/Ns murmured in agreement.

"Wait, you want Ken and me to beach off right in front of you guys?" Y/N asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Unless you're chicken, Ken?" Tourist Ken/Rival Ken taunted.

Ken huffed in defiance as he looked at Y/N. "Come on, Y/N. Let's show them how real men beach off." He pulled his shorts down to reveal a mint green jockstrap as Y/N blushed and pulled his own pants down as he and Ken started to beach off for their counterparts.

"See? This is how you beach someone off, Ken!" Beach Ken snapped in between moans.

Long story short I dislike most modern retellings because they seem to be focused on "fixing" the ancient stories and breaking them to fit into their own moral box which is insanely self centered to me and hardly ever actually engages with the stories as they are

#i like modernized takes where the modernizing is more like #translating how a story may have made people feel then and knowing how to elicit the same feelings in a modern audience #aka. hadestown exemplifying why we tell tragedies and tragic love stories #it never went 'um euridice is barely a character thats horrible lets fix that' #it went 'why do we tell stories of tragedy and love for thousands of years?' #anne carson is (in my non academia take) good at modernizing the language to make it understandable to modern readers #hence Dionysus going 'ok ladies up we get! no more crying no more weeping!' #anyway where is the modern odyssey that realises there is already the built in bit #where every time someone asks who Odysseus is he gives a different answer lmao its RIGHT THERE

Love Carson just straight up lying and saying that Shirley is weird about her bed so that Greta wouldn't sit on it because literally later in the exact same episode we get

Greta icing Jo's ankle on Shirley's bed while Jo literally smokes on Shirley's bed and Shirley is in the room and seems fine with it

and

all the girlies hanging out on Shirley's bed to check out Greta before the date. again Shirley is there and fine with it. not weird about her bed at all, actually.

#all in the same episode we have multiple instances of proof of Shirley not actually being weird about her bed #like she's literally letting Jo smoke on it for goodness sake #I wouldn't let someone smoke in my house much less my fucking bed lmao #Carson you're such a weird and obvious liar #shirley cohen #carson shaw #greta gill #a league of their own

lupe is right, btw.

the way the team treats her is absolutely unfair and yes, definitely inspired by (casual) racism. her role as a mexican woman in professional baseball team parallels both the (much more outright) racism max faces as a black woman in baseball, and the (much more explicitly treated by the show) casual homophobia most of the characters face, including within their own team

she's a terrific pitcher, yet she's probably - and rightfully - hyperaware that the fact that she's not white makes it entirely likely that she's going to be passed over in favour of a less talented white pitcher. in fact, given that she's probably in her early to mid thirties, this kind of shit has definitely happened to her before

and then dove sees her and picks her as his star player, sees her talent, and sure, he's super racist, but at least he gives her a chance to do what she loves and is legitimately great at. and she's loyal to him for that, despite his subpar coaching

and then the rest of the team latch onto that excuse to exclude her from the secret practices, for an entire week. is it any wonder that, when carson comes to check in about her arm, she does not believe that carson is actually concerned, and that she gets the impression that carson is only there for completely selfish reasons, bc she realised they're not good enough without lupe?

and THEN she offers to coach, with very good arguments, and the entire team (bar jess <3) unanimously and immediately rejects her? like shirley's "not the right energy" - not the right colour, you mean.

and through all of that she stays calm, collected - grumpy, sure, but she never ever has a temper or lashes out. she puts all of that aside, the exclusion and the rejection and no one recognising her value, to work together with carson, and it work for the first game, and then the second game, she tries to get Carson to listen to her about pitching again, because lupe is a coach now and a coach gets to make this kind of decision, but carson immediately shuts her down, making it obvious that she doesn't trust lupe's assessment of her own body and of the risks of the game, acting like she gets to have the last word, like she's the actual boss even though they're supposed to be working together

and then greta comes up and tells her TO HER FACE and completely unprovoked (all lupe is telling her is to butt out from coach talk, which is completely normal, greta refused to act as coach) that no one is going to pick her over carson and why is that indeed??? greta doesn't say "i side with carson" or "i think the team would agree with carson", she says "no one would pick you over carson", there is no other way Lupe can read that as anything else than racist, and even if it wasn't, the team's trust in carson over lupe is rooted entirely in the fact that carson already got to act as a coach during secret practices bc they excluded lupe, again, based at the very least on subconscious stereotypes, on a complete ignorance of lupe's position as a mexican woman in professional baseball

and then, during the fight on the pitch, carson says "i didn't ask for this but we have to - " and therein lies the problem, doesn't it? she didn't ask for it but she gets it, something lupe desperately wants and is at least as qualified for as her, bc carson is white. is it any wonder lupe snaps? and then carson accusing her of doing fuck-all when that is VERY MUCH carson's fault, because AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS VERY GAME lupe asked to be allowed to do something again and carson shut her down. of course lupe loses her shit! she is right!

and then, even though it is very much at the very least carson's shared responsibility that they got there, it's lupe who gets demoted as a coach. jfc, i'd also stay on the bench - why the fuck would lupe do anything anymore for a team that treated her this way, or step up to save carson from the mess she put herself in by being unfair to lupe?

and then she tries to get that through to the rest of the team and no one listens and carson calls her a headcase, as if lupe probably hasn't spent entirely too much time being called crazy just for being a mexican woman, and carson cries and that garners her the sympathy of everyone except jess (smth smth white fem-passing women's tears being seen as sincere and vulnerable while woc/butches are seen as hysterical or aggressive or weak when they cry)

and DESPITE ALL OF THAT, when jess comes to call her out (jess who's supposed to be on her side and yet somehow sides with the team against lupe two separate times, bc jess is white!), lupe stays relatively calm and explains it to her, despite the incredible vulnerability that must have demanded. when carson apologises, lupe immediately forgives her, immediately grants her her trust again, and immediately treats her as a friend. even greta, who has never apologised for being an outright probably racist dickhead to lupe (gay for carson or not, that was violent and completely uncalled for), we never see lupe be anything but nice to or about. she doesn't hold a grudge at all.

lupe is actually impressively in control of her anger, especially given the circumstances - the worst you can say about her is that she is grumpy and that she snapped once after swallowing the team's bullshit for months. sheis incredibly quick to forgive, incredibly trusting, incredibly generous with her friendship to everyone who shows her even the slightest bit of kindness

(except esti, who she is a dick to, but that's another angsty post about 1. lupe almost exclusively lashing out at the ppl she loves the most (esti, jess who she punches in the face) and 2. another way the team is legitimately racist, which is them refusing to learn any spanish (except, again, jess <3) and acting on the assumption that bc lupe is also a latina, esti is her responsibility, despite the fact that it's not like she, like the rest of the team, doesn't also have other stuff to do than babysitting a 16yo)

the fandom absolutely sometimes falls into the trap of the exact same subconscious bias as the Peaches, and the show does that on purpose, i'm sure, to smack us in the face with it during the convo with Jess, but there's still a surprising amount of defensiveness surrounding this, it seems. which is a pity, bc god, what a phenomenal character, and what a story she gets if you pay attention

#lupe garcia #aloto #aloto meta #lupe did NOTHING wrong #and she deserved A LOT better from the team #and YES the rest of the team are (at least casually) racist #like IT WAS THE FORTIES #why is it so easy to believe that shirley is in fact exhibiting homophobia #but impossible to believe that carson greta jo and jess exhibit (varying levels of) racist prejudice #like it's right there??? are we watching the same show??? #you can be queer AND racist that's still true in the year of our lord 2022???

#a league of their own #tag: aloto #i posted this quickly so didn't have time to add more tags #but god. when she talks to Greta at the train station Carson more or less takes no credit for helping Jess. #even though she and Greta clearly moved forward more or less at the exact same moment #she's a Good. but she also knows that she can't lie like Greta can so if it wasn't for her they might not have gotten anywhere #sidebar: how many times can i say 'more or less' in one tag set

Finished that history of science book I've been having complicated opinions on and I know part of this is influenced by having been written in 2005, but having the author spend approximately 500 pages tearing down various big names in science and occasionally uplifting much lesser-known individuals with particular praise for political radicals

.....only to swerve and suggest that Apple and Steve Jobs are examples of contemporary, non-elitist people's science because he wanted an example not tied to academia or government was not only vindicating re: every weird feeling this book gave me, but was also like watching someone build a precarious but still intriguingly constructed house of cards, only to place a 2-ton anvil on top out of vaguely anti-intellectual spite in the world's absolute worst attempt to win an argument.

Anyways. 3 stars maybe, half because I want to plunder the references and parts of the rest of it were pretty good. But also. Help.

#spent most of this book going 'i'm not sure the author of this and i are the same kind of leftist' and then. and then #[me with my head in my hands] please you should have stopped with rachel carson

Not Ezra befriending locals with his insouciant charm and chaotic goodness…

Not Ezra using the force in innovative and creative ways that reduce adversaries to playthings

Not Ezra being saved by people who will do anything to save their adopted feral street urchin

Now queue Rex, Hondo, and esp Grogu please!

Ezra and Grogu would be the best!

He would love Boba Fett and esp Fennic…

#where will Ezra go next! #will he and Carson Teva visit Grogu and Din? #the adventures of our adopted chaotic Jedi boys and their found families #while our Jedi queens fight the good fight on Peridea #didn’t like the show much but can live happily with what’s to come #more Asoka in her own show pls #remember tbobf? same same #ezra bridger #star wars rebels #boba fett #grogu #the mandalorian #din djarin

i need to see carson with this index card. I need it like i need air, please let me see carson holding this card, tracing the stained lipstick with the tip of her finger while she’s on her journey back for the new baseball season or while she’s waiting, maybe unsure, for greta to show, eagerly wishing to share all that she’s discovered about herself, the highs the lows, wanting to hear what greta’s been up to, if she’s seen jo, all of this swirling inside as she stares at the lipstick mark.
