love how the gay couple from Sesame Street and the gay couple from the Muppets have opposite relationship dynamics, while both somehow embodying the Romantic Ideal

Since being diagnosed with cancer my husband has become very willing to step into arguments at his workplace and elsewhere because “nobody wants to be seen yelling at the guy with brain cancer” and so far his success rate is shockingly high.

I admit I enjoy it when an AI-generated music video gives itself away because the vocals are crystal-clear, but some of the lyrics are still indecipherable because the LLM just kind of made up a vaguely word-adjacent noise to fit the rhyme scheme.

So I think we all agree that the final battle scene in Kpop Demon Hunters is super inspiring and uplifting and all that, but know what, to me, makes it hit extra hard? What came before it.

Rumi comes in to Namsan Tower and presents herself to Gwi-Ma at her literal worst: her demon side's on full display, her friends have rejected her, the woman who raised her cannot bring herself to end her misery but just as much cannot bring herself to accept her, the cause to which she's given her whole life and self is in tatters. Gwi-Ma won. She literally has nothing left to fight for.

Gwi-Ma knows this, so thoroughly that he doesn't waste his fiery breath taunting her; there's no need. He simply lists the facts of her life at this point, all the ways she's failed, all the shame that now rests upon her striped-over shoulders, and she can only agree.

This isn't Simba who returned to Pride Rock, saddled with guilt for Mufasa's death but who still held his head high with pride as he admits to Scar's charges of murder because he's still his father's son and the One True King. This is a broken shell of a human, a fallen star who's been stripped of its light, a fire robbed of the kindling it needs to burn.

And it's worse, because while Simba would at least get the satisfaction of realizing he was framed, Rumi knows this is on her.

(and, well, generational trauma and Celine's well-meaning but misguided attempts to raise a strong and powerful Hunter, but that's besides the point).

Then he asks the question every villain asks:

What are you going to do about it?

And Rumi, with nothing left but the sword she held out to Celine as she pleaded for death, answers.

Kick. Your. Ass.

Then launches into a song admitting her faults and fears and vulnerabilities and mistakes, reaching out to Zoey and Mira with her whole, unguarded self and asking for their understanding and forgiveness.

And they give it to her.

And then they all kick Gwi-Ma's ass.

It's beautiful.

the problem with calling inanimate objects “girl” is that once you start you cannot stop. I said “girl” to the dishwasher because that bitch would not close no matter how hard I whacked her pussy. what is wrong with me

pyramid conspiracies are so funny cause like yeah theyre extremely impressive feats of engineering but its not like. crazy unbelievable. i think even as a kid if you asked me how i thought the pyramids were built id be like "i think they probably cut rocks into rectangles and stacked them. it probably took a very long time." aliens or power plants would not remotely be on my list of options yknow.

a deeply underrated part of the gay taylor swift conspiracy theories is that if they're right and she really has spent over a decade sending subliminal messages based on minute details for people to decode then she's uuuuuh. I mean she's insane. she's jigsaw. she's the riddler. her dad bought her career because if she didn't have music to distract her she would have started building deathtraps.

being a comics fan is like i could give you some general information abt any given character but i'm not necessarily a scholar of theirs you would have to see a specialist to be sure. the same way like in a pinch a pediatrist could tell you you were having a heart attack but you probably want to follow up with a cardiologist
