too many of you guys think nico is the loser and not lewis for letting the divorce go on for so long. like they're both losers about each other. emotionally constipated idiots who can't talk about their toxic homoerotic friendship that imploded on itself like 8 years ago and are now making it everyone else's problem. yeah nico's on television or in beer gardens talking about lewis all the time but like every other month some reporter is like "lewis, what's your favorite moment in your career?" and lewis no hesitation is like "oh man, karting, y'know? everything was simpler then" and then spends another six months skirting around nico's name. like this whole thing they're doing in the media isn't some kinda extended foreplay for them. they're both still pressing on the bruise to make sure it's still there!!! every few months, they're literally just asking on public television, does it still hurt for you like it does for me? and like clockwork, someone will release new information about them or one of them will say something about each other (in my heart, he's still my best friend/yes... and teammate) and the answer will remain the same, yes, of course, always.

Try to push reality out of your mind. Focus on the other memories. They were created for a reason. To hide from the truth? To endure it. - Wesley Wyndam-Pryce in Angel the Series | 1999 - 2004

Sinclair: Garibaldi, please keep an eye on Ambassador Mollari today. He’s gonna say something to the wrong person and get himself punched.
Garibaldi: Sure, I’d love to see Londo get punched.
Sinclair: Try again.
Garibaldi: I will stop Londo from getting punched?
Sinclair: Correct.

What would stick!Alan think of the fact that Beckons gets scared the moment Chosen enters?
probably just 'yeah, that's fair': just assumes they haven't had a reconciliation with their own Chosen.
HOWEVER, if he found out what Beckons did to slugcat Chosen, he also would be going 'what the fuck is wrong with you' for sure.
like, he knows he used to be fucked up, but painful genetic experimentation and the equivalent of a shock collar is PRETTY BAD to someone with the basics of human empathy???
Beckons definitely has a much different perception of mortal beings, yeah, but that's kind of hard to understand when you're both human-aligned and can understand each other (for ease of silly scenario, USUALLY)

i'm chronically nosy i had to go find what u were talking about on twitter and man it's wild how comfortable people are with the transvestigating thing because they think it's funny. why are they validating the real transphobe even jokingly....
i don't fucking knowwwwww. i got fucking blasted on twitter for being like. have none of you actually experienced irl bigotry because i have and it's not something i would actively choose to emulate????? in any context????
like this is what was happening back in october. yeah, very cool, very funny to quote tweet a guy calling glenn a fag for tweeting in support of california legalizing gay marriage and say he was "ahead of his time". for. using a slur. everyone is so fucking irony brainrotted it hurts.
and again.
just an ounce of self awareness..... please.... anyone........ how do you almost get there and yet not see the problem.....

censored tweets because it's too horrible for me to casually put here but it's so infuriating how people on twitter who build their entire brand on usamerican trans issues literally have 0 empathy for trans people in other countries. these two accounts have hundreds of thousands of followers and erin reed is major source on trans news in the us. so disrespectful and flippant to be using this case (and this thread. which contains graphic details of the murder of a trans teenager. the censored tweet contained slurs.) to make a stupid point about how you think another country's legal system is stupid and wrong because it's different to yours.

I like how even Stray Cat Rock is subtly political and feminist.
I'm watching SCR: Sex Hunter right now. You compare this to similar Western girl gang films like Switchblade Sisters (which was objectively fucking awful, incidentally) and the complexity blows the Western shit out of the water.
It would have been so easy to make the conflict just about race and jingoism. That could have been the only motivation, and it wouldn't have been off-brand for an exploitation flick. But the root of the animosity isn't random intolerance, it's war crimes perpetrated by American soldiers.
It would have been easy to have the girls lean into the "protection" shit. It wouldn't have made sense, but it would have been easy. The West does it all the time.
Wild, independent girls aren't really wild or independent; they just haven't found bad boys bad enough to fuck them and direct their machismo toward less desirable bad boys in their name yet. Once they find them, they'll forget sisterhood and catfight to the death over said males.
But Mako - who also possesses a Murderhat, which I love - protects her girls "her way,*" chooses them over any and all boys, be they bad or just morally grey. Chooses them with the intent to submit to their judgment for her mistake. And once they've vented their anger, she lets them decide whether or not to make peace, even over the defensive loyalty of her lieutenant.
And in the end, the girls all choose each other. They don't ever side entirely with men, they just choose which men to let in based on their intention toward the girls. Once selected, their men are the beneficiaries and objects of the girls' protection, and it's the girls who take revenge when the narrative demands that it be insufficient, not the other way around.
I just. Wow.
