being a comic charles xavier fan is like being in the trenches like yeah we know he sucks! idk why they demonize people who like morally grey/villainous characters and sometimes they judge him based off of stuff that was retconned long ago that stemmed from harmful stereotypes about disabled people at the time 💀

i think my favorite part of the Comic Charles Enjoyer experience is sometimes seeing people act as though he personally went into their house and shot their dog or something

Charlie Kelly from Always Sunny is my favorite representation of dyslexia in anything ever. Specifically because everyone's frustration when his dyslexia gets in their way feels very true to my frustration when my dyslexia gets in my way. I like watching people get mad at dyslexia lol

but seriously i just KNEW who the killer had to be by that last episode and learning who it was was SO SATISFYING

obviously the pointing went every which way all up until the very end, but so many of them didnt feel right lol. whether it was motive or just who they were as characters, not to mention an out of universe feeling is 'it would be kinda fucked up if it was this character cause of like societal reasons' if that makes sense

ANYWAY great show!!

I realise it's mean and superficial of me to block everyone who is like "but the Aeneid IS fanfiction tee hee hee" in the notes of that one poll but consider: my time on earth is short and growing shorter

man. whenever i see someone discussing it/talking about liking it i feel myself Wanting to like. respect? extreme horror as a genre. more than i do. and i think my problem boils down to like. some of the places these things go.. you need to be a damn good writer, and you kinda need to make it have a Point or a Reason at least somewhat. you gotta be able to suspend your disbelief. that doesn't go any different for any flavor of horror than any other type of nonfiction writing tbh and in my opinion is generally harder to pull off. what happens does, in context, need to at least kinda sorta make a little bit of sense in some way and not be happening Just Because. and because of the rarity and stigma of extreme horror its less likely to qualify well for either of the above and just ends up attracting people who want to write some Really out there shit and get upset when they get justified critique from readers (usually people who bought their book and Enjoy extreme horror!) and always want to couch it like they're being oppressed for Writing which is a super disingenuous way to put it

every time i so much as think about that scene where light looks at porn magazines while scowling i go into hysterics its genuinely the funniest thing i've ever seen

I opened up about my body image issues and people called me a horrible person, told me I'm invalidating people with eds and that I'm body shaming people? God what the fuck? Ive got no fucking support system in real life and the Internet just hates me I guess.

So I've hit a bit of a dead end in my life where I have no idea what to do or what I want to do. Do you have any advice on how to try and figure it all out?

Also I love ur duncney fics you should be an author <3

listen, anon. i'm 26. as much as i am flattered that you think i have it figured out, i do not. i'm willing to bet i wont have it figured out in ten years or twenty or forty-five. the thing is, i'm fine with that.

so here's my advice:

honestly, just keep living. put one foot in front of the other. find things you enjoy for no other purpose than enjoyment.

you don't have to 'do' anything -- living is about experiences. not every one of them have to have a purpose.

most of being human is drifting around and wondering why youre here. none of us really have the answer. that's okay. that's normal. maybe you'll never figure out what you're meant to 'do'. and that's fine!

the thing that keeps me anchored in the sea of Being Alive All the Time, and the thing that keeps most people anchored, is passion.

step one of discovering your passion, whatever it is, is to allow yourself to discover it. pick up pointless new hobbies and let yourself put them down if you dont enjoy them. read new books. read wikipedia articles for things youve never heard of. go on long walks in new parts of your neighborhood. listen to a new podcast. watch a video essay about something stupid youve always been curious about.

make bad art. paint shitty pictures, draw shitty portraits, write shitty stories. let yourself be bad at things. let yourself be purposeless.

accept the fact that you are human and unsure about your place in the universe -- because those two things go hand in hand. this is the curse of sentience. embrace it.

im not like, an "ii critical" or whatever you wanna call it, mostly i just watch new episodes when they come out and feel pretty lukewarm about them, but gotta say its almost comical to me that the newest episode is like "ummmm balloon you should SHOW not TELL..." and then immediately proceeds to explicitly spell out his problems to him verbally. like. alright man sure

[obnoxiousarcade]

im thinking again

[s0fter-sin]

the Aggression of people coming for people saying they don't like the new predator design, being like "you fucking idiot don't you fucking read or understand anything he's clearly a young predator you fucking moron" like mate calm your shit

1) no one has to read supplementary material for a movie franchise, that is extra shit for people who care, the average person probably doesn't even know it exists

2) it doesn't matter if the point is that he's a young predator he still looks dumb bc people want a real predator

you hear "the predator is the protagonist" and you want to see something like the jungle hunter or the city hunter being your main character not one who doesn't know what he's doing and kinda sucks at it. i don't like regular teenage protagonists why would i want a predator one??

the interest comes from wanting to see a predator being framed as the good guy, if he's weird for a predator or just plain different then that interest goes away bc he may as well not be a predator. and again we saw young unblooded predators in avp and they looked normal, this is purely a sympathy thing. “oh he’s underdeveloped, oh he’s not as good as other predators, he’s the runt of litter please feel bad for him and want him to win”

a normal blooded predator with his normal morals and expertise being put in a situation where he isn’t the deadliest thing on the planet and that alone is what shifts him into being the protagonist? that’s interesting

this guy has been given a humanised design to make people who get freaked out by monsters identify with him and find him less creepy, that’s it. it’s literally visual shorthand for “he’s not like everybody else” (bc that’s always the most interesting type of protagonist)
