Unapologetic Assholes and the Fans Who Love Them
(It's me, I'm the fans, it's me.)
Every child has a character they want to be when they're growing up. Whether it's because they love the character itself (Han Solo is the greatest) or because they want to be part of the character's world (who doesn't want to be a mermaid?), there's always some fictional person a kid would swap lives with in a heartbeat.
For me as a child, that character was Veruca Salt.
youtube
Now, Veruca Salt is a spoiled brat. She is THE spoiled brat. She has no redeeming qualities and if I ever met her in real life I wouldn't last five minutes without punching her in the teeth.
But I'd have given anything to be her.
Growing up autistic is growing up being wrong. You talk wrong, you laugh wrong, you interact with your peers wrong. You play wrong. Your interests are wrong and so is the way you talk about them. The things that upset you are irrational and insignificant and wrong. The bullying that other kids do to you isn't really bullying, you're just reacting wrong.
Everything about you and how you experience the world is wrong, and you need to get over it.
I couldn't even breathe without an adult jumping down my throat for how I did it, and I was undiagnosed, so I had no idea that there were others like me and I wasn't just some aberrant freak alone in the world.
But then there was Veruca Salt.
Veruca was never wrong. Even when she clearly was. Even when Veruca demanded the impossible, those around her bent over backwards to achieve it and fell over themselves apologizing when they couldn't. Veruca never apologized. Veruca always got what she wanted. She was like a cruel and angry god who only met her fate because she crossed paths with another god who was even more powerful.
And in the Oompa Loompas' song after she fell down the garbage chute, they didn't even blame her for her horrible behavior, by far the worst of any child in the factory. Even when she lost, she won.
I would have given anything to be Veruca, even if only for a day. To express myself without fear and without regard for everyone I was inconveniencing by being abnormal. The rush of that power would have easily carried me for the rest of my life.
And then I grew up, and there was Carla Rutten.
Tumblr media
Carla is not only the greatest character in @itswalky's magnum opus, Dumbing of Age, she is also arguably the greatest character in the history of fiction.
Tumblr media
Carla is a student at Indiana University. She's transgender and asexual, and in the hands of lesser writers this might lead to temptation to portray her as perfectly kind and moral and inoffensive, lest she be viewed as a negative stereotype.
Instead, Carla is loud, demanding, self-obsessed, and perfect in every way.
Tumblr media
Carla refuses to reign herself in, even if it brings further bigotry and anger her way. She won't hold herself to a different standard than any other jackass.
Tumblr media
And in the end, even if you hate her, even if you want her wiped from the face of the earth, that's still acknowledging her. And she's still won.
Tumblr media
As an asexual ginger Hoosier I cannot even begin to express what Carla means to me and how thankful I am for her existence. There aren't words for how great it is that a character like this exists and is just allowed to be. Allowed to be as flawed and rude and funny and spoiled as anybody else.
More ladies need to be unrepentant self-absorbed jerks. It's a beautiful thing.

HOLE - “Live Through This” album
Released: April 12, 1994 #30Years
One of the best albums of the 20th century and one of my biggest musical influences growing up. I got to see Hole perform in San Diego with Veruca Salt opening their show on November 8th, 1994 at a small venue called SOMA San Diego. I was living in Tijuana and crossed the border and took the trolley and got there so early so I could get front row almost by the stage.
At one point during the show, Courtney Love crowd surfed and landed on my face and my glasses fell on the floor and my reaction was to push away while I tried to find my glasses on the floor. The guy in front of me grabbed her by the face kissed her on the lips. I was able to find my glasses

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory character line up! I’ll do the adults eventually. @orinandaudrey asked me to draw Wonka so I have to do him at least. I’ll figure it out!
Idk what vibe I was going for with this but I like them :>
