modern family is all fun and games until you get to the scenes where you burst into tears because the once-vaguely homophobic dad now refers to his son's husband as family, and also the academically gifted daughter realizes that her dorky, clumsy dad was always really proud of her and just never surprised because he just assumed she could do anything, and also the eldest daughter who eloped comes crawling back to her parents' room and whispers that she still wants her parents to be present for her wedding, and also the anxious queer lawyer character admits that he was terrified that his husband would just leave him alone with their baby daughter, and also that the once-vaguely grouchy dad looks at his stepson and tells him that what makes a family is who sticks around, not who you're blood-related to and anyways what was i saying

I think hazbin hotel is part of a common trend recently where things call themselves “adult” to mean like saying bad words but still have the themes of and are structured like children’s shows

Let's see if I learn from yesterday and save a draft or copy before posting in case tumblr eats it. (I'm having to save and edit and post over and over because I've already tried a couple times with pics.)
Part whatever number we're on for Lems self inflicted heart wrenching rumbelle posts.
She's still hopeful here. Like maybe he just misunderstood me! Maybe he thinks I'm lying about it working.
He said he was the beast, now he's just acting like it. Whether he's acting for his benefit or hers he doesn't know.
The mindless beast that snarls and bites.
She's starting to realize that he isn't joking. He is very serious. She realizes in this moment she hurt him even if it was an accident. And she wants to fix it. True love can fix anything! True love's kiss can break any curse.
Right?
You can kind of see here that his mask is slipping. He's already regretting screaming at her and putting on this beastly show.
Now he's really slapping that mask on his face and going full force with the act.
They say I'm a beast? Let me show you what a snarling monstrous beast I can be.
There has to be that small sliver of faith he still has in her that she wouldnt team up with the queen to fuck him over. But he's so guarded and in such disbelief that he doesnt believe it.
This is the first time she really recoils from his touch, from his words (least that I've seen) the first time she's been truly scared of him.
This last look of thinly veiled sorrow and heartbreak. He thought she was truly genuine, and she's conspiring with the queen, he should've known all along.
If you dont see a problem it doesnt exist. If I lock these thoughts away they cant hurt me.
But they already are.

nothing sums up the shit side of cartoon fandom like how they hear creators from the 90s and 2000s talk about sneaking dirty jokes past the censors and celebrate it, but hear creators from the 2010s onwards talk about sneaking the characters being queer past the censors and act like that's wrong
