#but I hope more ppl watch this show

[twenty-qs]

Everybody go watch Extraordinary Attorney Woo right now!!!!! It’s a kdrama about a lawyer who’s an autistic woman tackling quirky legal cases, in a case-of-the-week format, and I love it so much.

Let me preface this by saying I’m neurotypical, but from what I’m hearing from autistic fans on tumblr and reddit the show is good rep overall and gets a lot of things right. Even as a neurotypical though, Attorney Woo is like, one of the most relatable heroes I’ve ever seen on screen??? Getting a little personal here but I’m a law student, and an Asian woman, and I’m also socially awkward and feel uncomfortable with ~high powered suits~ environments even though I’m currently interning at a firm. Lawyers are everywhere in American pop culture but I’ve never been able to relate to literally any of them, because they’re always portrayed as these bombastic extroverts who know how to instantly read the room and say the exact right thing. (And white. Let’s be real they’re mostly white.) But it’s not like that in real life, at least in my friend groups. Lawyers are fucking nerds y’all, and plenty of us are awkward and weird as hell. But it took me talking to an actual lawyer to realize this, and feel for the first time that I could be one too. I still don’t usually like watching legal dramas because they make me feel like I’m doing something wrong, like I don’t fit the image of a real lawyer.

So I can’t express how much I love that Young-Woo’s quirks aren’t treated as something to fix or as things that make her lesser as a lawyer. Something about it is so soothing, that she’s allowed to be herself, that she’s loved and respected and defended for BEING herself. That she can survive and thrive in the legal environment, despite all the ways that it’s an antiquated and ableist institution. I love that she’s an Asian woman who doesn’t defer to anyone else’s authority if she decides it’s not important, that she often raises her voice (because she’s excited!!!) and doesn’t have to apologize for it, that she pulls the cutest guy in the firm by being smarter than him. I love that she had a whole episode about her dad calling her childlike and her asserting her own independence and adulthood (smth I’m struggling with myself). I want to be like her because I admire the whole hearted care and dogged determination she has toward helping her clients. I want to be like her.

I wrote all this and now I can’t tell how much of this is just law student anxiety lol. But seriously, the show is wonderful, and the fact that I a neurotypical love it so much actually underscores how important positive representation is, in my opinion. Because everyone needs diverse heroes to look up to, and it’s fucked up that there are so few characters with disabilities who are portrayed as admirable for traits unrelated to their disability. Without more media like this, the world becomes more hostile and intolerant of even slight deviations from convention. And what a horrible place that world would be to live in, like forcing a dolphin to swim in one pool instead of the whole vast sea.

Wait crying again bc I was rewatching The Intruder today (episode 4 of season 1) and I realized that like. The glyphs represent a few things in the narrative but one thing that's consistent is they're always there when Luz doesn't feel like she's good enough on her own. They appear to her as comfort in moments of self depreciation or self doubt, or she coincidentally learns them in episodes where she faces her fear of rejection or makes a mistake (at least this is true in terms of the first four base glyphs she discovers). It's the titans way of saying "you may have to do things differently, but you can do anything they can do" to Luz bc he cares about her

AND THEN. IN WATCHING AND DREAMING. WHEN THE TITAN PASSES ON AND THE GLYPHS DON'T WORK ANYMORE. IT'S BECAUSE NOW LUZ FINALLY FEELS LIKE SHE'S GOOD ENOUGH, ALL ON HER OWN. SHE'S LEARNED THAT SHE HAS INTRINSIC WORTH AS A PERSON AND SHE DOESN'T NEED TO MAKE UP FOR WHO SHE IS. SHE MIGHT DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY BUT SHE CAN DO EVERYTHING ANOTHER WITCH CAN DO- THIS TIME WITH HER OWN, MORE PERSONAL ACCESSIBILITY TOOL (HER PALISMEN) INSTEAD OF THE ONE THE TITAN GAVE HER. MAN!!!!!

I love that we get 2 solid conversations with them in the first episode that perfectly displays their connection and get to see how well suited they are. It’s usually a long term unrequited situation or a enemies with sexual tension. Something about the simplicity of having them meet, flirt(mostly exchange googly eyes lol) and get to know each other BEFORE the twists/turns just feels nice and wholesome. Like we’re properly included into the story building because we don’t have to try to figure out, episodes from now, if they really even ‘like’ each other as people.

[rouge-the-bat]

this is. an EXTREME long shot. but im trying to make a transcript for yu yu hakusho and i need subtitles to help for parts that i cant make out, but ive come to an issue:

the box set i got just. doesnt have subtitles for the dub for some fucking reason

hulu, which is being payed for, only has 2 seasons of yu yu hakusho, for some fuckign reason

funimation/crunchyroll, while once having the show available for free with ads, now has everything after season 1 locked, and everything from episode 4 onward locked specifically for the dub

any 🏴‍☠️ sites im finding online does not have subtitles for the dub

so that brings me to the point of this post: since i have the yu yu hakusho box set, i am NOT giving crunchyroll/funimation any more money. and so even though its a long shot, would anyone be okay with me using their already-subscribed account on crunchyroll or funimation so i can use the subtitles for my transcripting?

EDIT: someone very awesome and sweet is helping me and sharing their account now!!! so ig disregard this post now!

[layzeal]

like i just can't get these images of the nitzana border out of my brain. "no aid for the enemy" written in plain english to announce to the world they're proud to be starving the people they've kept imprisoned for decades. the cotton candy machine. the children. without context you'd think it's just a bunch of families gathering for a picnic

have you watched cw the flash and if so what are ur thoughts :3

hey man where do you think my love for barry came from

(okay that’s not entirely true, i met him thru young justice first but he was just wally’s nice uncle to me at the time. i had no idea what was coming)

cw flash started my love for him, that was like THE show for me at the time. it was before i had a tumblr tho so i doubt there’s any traces, but i did have my fair share of doodling him in the margins of my notebooks at school

i stopped around s2 or 3 i think? but i remember being rly rly enamored -> then rly rly devastated by eddie. i shipped barry and cisco too, wasn’t too big on fandom back then so idk if that was a popular one, but it was my top barry ship at the time (ig i always had a thing for shipping barry with his bestie huh!). and caitlin and leonard were always so fun, i think i might’ve shipped barry with them too. i definitely also shipped him with eddie, sorry i was putting that man thru so much LMAO

i also rly enjoyed harrison wells, i remember making a whole animal au to assign each character and i remember none of them except that each of the “versions” of himself were different types of labradors? not sure what the inspiration behind that was but i’m still assigning animals to superhero characters to this day so not much has changed

my memory is honestly pretty foggy, i must’ve been a freshman when i got into that show, but i remember how fun it was to watch it with my sibling. we were having a major superhero “phase” at that time too, so lots of yja, cw supergirl, daredevil, x-men, etc. we were BUSY. but among those (barring yja), the flash stood out to me the most bc of how much speedsters resonated with me. i would fantasize abt having superspeed to the point i might’ve actually been convinced that i might get them some day 😔👊 the fact that barry was such a silly little guy definitely helped

fast forward 7-ish years later and i’m tuning into flashpoint paradox with fond memories distant enough to be nostalgic but not recent enough to reignite anything. and then i’m hit with a frame of barry waking up to the apocalypse and i knew it was so over for me.

i think the fact that i liked cw flash’s barry sm back then primed me to liking him now, but this version of barry, the barry that’s more comics-adjacent, felt so different that i hold them as 2 completely dif characters and phases in my memory. and i think for that reason, i probably won’t ever rewatch cw flash. i want to keep a good memory a good memory, and i can appreciate what the show had to offer as an adaptation, but i think they knew they were doing their own thing too

I don't even like men and I'm somehow already a military wife, what goes on

PS. Don't open the tags unless you want a big ass wall of text of me rambling on your screen
