im just saying things this morning but i really do love an insane queerbait over canon-right-out-the-gate “representation” characters with labels slapped on them and playing into the most outrageous stereotypes on purpose with the blandest storylines and boring perfect non-problematique lukewarm love interests. like WHERE is the tension WHERE is the 12 yr slow burn WHERE is the complex layering of Issues and Disorders resulting in the most nuanced bisexual man on television precisely because they never intended him to be queer in the first place but accidentally turned the dial up on their sexist funnyguy ladies man too far that it looped over into overcompensation and their 2005 lol gay jokes kept going on beyond funny and the actorman playing him made Choices like looking flustered, uncomfortable at being called out for being too butch and looking aroused and interested in every man place in front of him but especially thee gay angel to the point where said actor somehow made his EYES DILATE and then they told us WE were insane for seeing all of that and oh they started writing it as a romance anyway but were thwarted by the network and others over and over and well anyways, it’s just so delicious and fun but maybe that’s just bc i love theories and puzzles and figuring stuff out and putting things together and connecting dots and also my headcanons and opinions are more important than anything canon could say so idc if i get queerbaited for 50 yrs i’m on another level of existence, living gloriously in the subtext and knowing the Truth. anyways there will never be another ship like destiel

that post about lmm is real true but also like that's somewhat the case for pretty much any creative person. if the animators of those same disney movies had the freedom to work on their own projects we'd probably have a lot more weird and cringe and awesome animation projects. if eminem hadn't gotten popular maybe he would have made a lot more cool scrappy underground tapes. now if only there was some kind of social theory behind why corporate success and artistic value seem so opposed and exclusive to each other.......

scared to keep this 500-word blurb about the civil rights movement in my review of "some like it lukewarm" because it doesn't ascribe to Internet Morality (i.e. I say that having Charlie Smalls on the show is actually a big deal for the legitimizing of black artists in the eyes of the show's largely-white audience). I know the jackals are going to gut me for "congratulating the white production team". I know they're going to be mad I'm promoting small, step-by-step practical change instead of adhering to the impossible standards of wokeness.

graphic novel V: good and evil are meaningless labels in the real world because anyone can act good, but no person thinks themselves evil.
movie V: nuh-uh look at how easy it is. this side is good, this side is evil. look at how 2dimensional and evil they are. the good side are all a bunch of people with loving families who were manipulated into voting in fascist governments, while the evil people have no families and hate everyone openly and are constantly trying to rape and murder people for fun. also watch this (quotes all of count of monte cristo from memory)
graphic novel Evey:
graphic novel Evey: what does that have to do with any--
graphic novel V: no no no. he's got a point.

Andor was amazing but I liked the Mandalorian S3 premiere too. I experience childlike wonder on a space adventure..! Giant creatures visible in hyperspace, a little fairy workshop for droid-builders, space pirates. Andor's tension and thoughtfulness has its place and so does a popcorn space western.
Maybe I need a series re-watch, but I don't see the inconsistent characterization that other people mention. Greef Karga is really into gentrification now? Sure, he seemed to like getting powerful and looking out for Nevarro in past seasons. Mando isn't okay with pirates now? He always seemed to find himself on the side of children and peaceful civilians, though, so it looks consistent enough. True, they had the pirates insist on drinking at a school in a cartoonishly indefensible way of throwing their weight around (marvel villain style) but... Seems like this show has always distinguished between "good gunslingers" and "bad gunslingers". It's not politically revolutionary, it's painfully status-quo-marketable, but... Some parts of Star Wars are just that. Goofy, marketable fun. Andor and Rogue One seem more like standout exceptions than a Star Wars Rule.
I'm not even alarmed that Jon Favreau or whoever "doesn't have an ending planned". I miss shows being slightly more relaxed and episodic. Din Djarin doesn't know anything about the main plot of Star Wars and I hope he keeps having adventures that way. Background Man™. Maybe it'll end well, maybe it won't. Some of my favorite shows didn't get to plan their endings, and they still had great episodes along the way.
For now, I'm enjoying Bo Katan in the world's worst depression nest and other delights of the galaxy. Even for people unfamiliar with Rebels, seeing purgills in hyperspace could just be a "huh, cool" moment. Putting cynicism aside, I expected a go-nowhere visit with aliens in the exact style of previous Mandalorian seasons and that's what I got.

Honestly i can't wait till Schizophrenia + Psychosis awareness day on the 24th of May cos I'm gonna absolutely bombard Instagram with much-needed* schizospec facts (i have compiled a write-up and list of lesser-known symptoms - ones i experience often - i meant to post on International women's day in honour of schizospec women) while not specifying i have any diagnosis and it's gonna be great
bc I feel all the normies who need to hear it the most reside on Meta apps + TikTok (mainstream socials don't hear/talk about these serious unnecessarily taboo issues nearly as much and it's a total outrage) and sometimes it feels like preaching to the choir/converted over here on Tumblr dot com even though there's still a large chorus of fellow neurodivergents on here who still make ignorant jokes, slurs and follow the trends harmful to us and need to stop and also include us in neurodivergent and mental health awareness movement/discussions
it's still generally safer for us severe mental illness folks on here it's like my hidey-hole even tho the reality is nowhere is really truly safe lol
So yeah feel free to rb this and if you are on Insta, share my story abt the awareness day or share your own. We need our voices and experiences represented in the neurodivergent/mental health narrative. In fact we could really post about it all month bc other issues get whole months too and we are just as important as any other issue
