4-5-1 Season 3, Episode 3 TED LASSO (2020-2023)

#ted lasso #tedlassoedit #tledit #shandy fine #ambreen razia #zava #maximilian osinski #gifs.#has it been long enough that we can acknowledge what they did to shandy was fucked and she was actually very fun and had potential?#it's like. the downside to colourblind casting where they think 'oh we're casting a woc yay diversity!' but then they dont change anything #about the role to fit the fact that the character is now a character of colour #so then you accidentally get shit like this. where they were trying for something funny with her storyline/how she got fired #but instead they've unintentionally made her an unfunny caricature that all her rich white lady superiors think is incompetent #treating the One woc we had for this season this way is just so nasty #but anyway on a lighter note. i love how unhinged shandy's convos are. this one and the one she has w roy. just love the energy she has

Rough sketches of my 2k3 Angel redesign! She was only in 5 episodes, but I care her… and also I may or may not be writing a fic about her >:3c

#tmnt #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2k3 #tmnt angel #my art #I don’t know how to make a read more on mobile so look here for rambling #like okay during my rewatch of 2k3 it was so clear to me that Angel’s a woc #I mean seriously look at her grandma whose design I didn’t alter that much #but for some reason whoever produced The Darkness Within didn’t get the memo???#why is she so pale in that ep and why is Ryan her bro so White lmao #anyways I’ve fixed that too #if you’re wondering why I decided to use Puente for her surname instead of Bridge like in IDW #it is simply because I don’t like it lol #also you can’t tell me that Angel LH and Klunk wouldn’t be an iconic trio #Angel and LH would kick so much ass and Klunk is their lil mascot uwu

For a show about acceptance and meeting people where they are, it’s weirdly judgmental of Shandy.

Everyone looks down on Shandy, even the “AFC himbos” & Higgins (the knowing looks and “oooohs” when Keeley says they’re friends). No way Shandy earned this job! She’s too stupid! But Keeley saw Shandy’s potential with her strobe light idea. Wish Keeley defended her more...

Shandy’s always too much. She’s too forthcoming. She’s too unapologetic. She’s too outrageous. She’s too ambitious. Funny how the same behaviours are rewarded in white characters, especially white women.

Shandy and Keeley share similar beginnings (”you made it out!”) but the narrative is much kinder to Keeley. She’s obscenely unprofessional towards her boss? Girl bonding :) She prioritises her work? Go work ethics :) She jokes around? So likeable :) She speaks up? Girl power :)

Shandy supposedly can’t stomach rejection due to failed relationships. But it makes no sense??? She’s in an industry notorious for rejecting people. She endured scathing ridicule from Barbara. Everybody patronises her. She keeps going. But Keeley asking to change the tag line was too much?? Shandy scream-quits after being chastised once? Bullshit.

Some will blame it on her ambition getting to her head but... she’s been open about that and believed in herself from the start? Her ambition didn’t hinder her ability to work then so why should it now? And it’s normal to want to be the boss?? Most of us are just too shy to say it lol.

For a show about second chances, funny how Shandy doesn’t get that. Having the only woc be a ditzy underserving bimbo who doesn’t belong and later becomes white women’s tormentor? Not great.

#ted lasso #shandy fine #my/rambling #she was fun/flirty/outrageous #and would have made a great addition to the cast #and FINALLY ANOTHER WOC #maybe the show wanted to explore how excesses can be bad #which is fine #but why use the only woc???#add another white character instead #(haven't watched today's ep so this post might be outdated)

TW Abuse

Aren feels guilt over clinging to his abuse, because he’s looked up to his Pops for so long as a role model, as someone who he should aspire to be.

But then he interacts with a toddler, or a little kid, or even people his own age. He can’t help but think about how fragile they are, how easy their skin would give way to bruises and blood, and he wonders how you could have something so precious and vulnerable, one that looks up to you with adoration and unadulterated trust, and tear it to shreds.

And he knows it was wrong, but he still tries to convince his friends otherwise. Because if they agree, that means it’s something he has to let go. He doesn’t have to look it in the eyes and ask questions that he won’t ever get an answer to.

#abuse is easy to look at objectively from far away because they’re not a person to you #because the person experiencing it clings to the good memories and pretends it makes up for the bad ones #or worse when it’s a parent who you know has gone through the same #and sometimes you have to look at it and realize change isn’t possible for someone who can’t quite leave survival mode #WOC are taught to keep silent and play clean-up afterwards #and they ask their kids to be happy because they’ve been granted better circumstances #but we forget that no matter how many tools you have you’ll never know how to use them if you’re not taught #asking happiness from a child who has never seen it from a parent will never result in progress #we teach our children to learn from our mistakes instead of from our examples #because change is fucking hard for yourself but all you can do is cling to the hope that maybe it’ll be different for them #sorry got rant-y there lol #I used to write a lot of poetry maybe I should try again and see if I can answer some things for myself #tw child abuse #kuboyasu aren #Saiki k

i remember watching heathers on rabbit (rip rabbit) and there were two points where i had to cover the screen with cats because they were legit triggering scenes but overall we had a good time. everyone cheered when jd blew the fuck up dfvkjfvkjfvkj

#author makes a speech #i even briefly showed the bootleg play which was less fun #i put pics of cats over the dead gay son scene because it was cringe and i fucking hate that part #which is funny because i like the heathers musical #wish they would let a woc be yellow heather instead of green heather all the time cause bro the Implications #this turned to a ramble OOPS ignore these tags

i get soooooo annoyed whenever people keep denying that niffty is in fact asian. no matter what, when viv toyed with the idea, that can of worms opened and is going to stay open.

#.txt #niffty #critique tag!!#and i don't mean people who weren't aware. i mean people who are being told over and over again and yet they still deny it #it's scary that people think niffty is in fact french instead of japanese. that's how much care was put into her backstory if she has one #and i see more of this from fans on twitter than anything but it's irritating as shit! she isn't good rep but she's still a woc. stop it

It's pretty insane that saying that arwen could have been done so much better is met with such disdain. And the way I'm seen as an Arthur stan or Gwen hater by saying that. I'm literally saying the both of them deserved better..?

Gwen (and Arthur let's be completely real here) was a victim of a show that was chronically inconsistent in their characterizations of people. She suffered (as Arthur did) from a story line that I'm sorry is just really bad. And you can still love Gwen and Arthur from legend. But I can still say this interpretation falls short in showing the growth of their relationship in a way that feels real and not just .. necessary.

#bbc merlin #once again. no this is not because i ship merthur #i think there are moments i really like of Arthur and Gwen interacting and i think merlins interactions w both of them are sweet #but it feels so forced #youre telling me yall didnt feel the difference between s1 and 2 and on?#you didnt notice how they went from polite but distant to 😍 from nowhere #if they had just shown us some sort of hate to friends to lovers but it was rushed #in the span of one episode she goes from detesting him to kissing him and liking it and then later being lovesick #and for arthur he goes from learning modesty in s1 to becoming a complete prat again (for the Jokes you understand)#to completely lovesick with her and angsty because he doesnt want to have a secret relationship and his father wont accept her #that rationale is fine if it didnt just come out of fuckin nowhere #that's all im saying #its so rushed #and for what?? they could have spent time and energy having that build up with merlin watching it happen #and instead the writers decide to just tell us instead idk #but apparently that means i hate gwen and woc and whatever other bullshit

me ignorning everything else in the world to focus on my full time job of giving Idaho's spouse the Ilithiya treatment

#the wife of color (woc)-ification of the table is not much but it is honest work #i feel like based on the joke idaho's spouse is meant to be a woman but tbh like the wife/husband/spouse of color ification deities #spoke to me and said Idaho's spouse uses she/they pronouns #welcome to the table #wttt #and when i say woc-ficiation i mean oregon will be going through hoc(husband of color-ification) instead #idaho's spouse is latine. i feel it in my bones. everyone i have met irl from idaho has been latine so that's why wijedhfgieuqf

Nora Sakavic is the most tumblr author and I mean this is in the worst way possible

#instead of doing a retcon #admitting she messed up with the age gap #or writing the girl out to avoid a toxic environment #she is like #oh yes i planned this all along #come and hate one of the few woc of my story!#i know you like racism and misogyny tumblr

now who's gonna explain to me why matt did the thing with his eyes in dd 11 cause i'm still trying to figure out how exactly that was a bargaining chip

#chip zdarsky #matt murdock #daredevil comics #i don't get it??? like the whole doing it to himself???#him attacking the stromwyns sure but still #borderline ooc if i dare say #give me sad wet puppy matt back #with a side of sam chung #and also kirsten mcduffie when she's appropriately shaded as a woc instead of lightening her skin #there's born again and then there's this run #somehow the only thing that was funny in both his volumes was prison king matt when he just- plopped in the yard after being poisoned

Cannot believe I was on Arizona's side in the custody battle for Sofía Robbin Sloan-Torres instead of Callie's??

Wanting to uproot your child for a woman you've been dating for a few months, is not the right move.

#on the white woman's side?? of a custody battle?? i never thought #like i was prepared to be on callie's side #until the battle played out #slutshaming Arizona's time off in the dating scene like she didn't do the same?#bashing Arizona's career and claiming that stops her being a good mom?#I was so disappointed in Callie for letting her lawyer do that while Arizona focused on Sofía's life and family #Penny didn't even know Sofía was in 1st grade #that is inherently concerning because you've known the kid a few months and then ??? moving cross country???#it was far too soon to decide to do that instead of long distance #woc #latina #sofía robbin sloan-torres #callie torres #arizona robbins #i was trying to root for my bisexual latina so hard 😭 i'm so disappointed fr #>>> as a bisexual latina myself 😭 i wanted to be on her side so bad #greys anatomy

i'll still read tsc of course but i always hoped if there was more to aftg it would still be about neil even though it did seem pretty well like his story was over that epilogue just ended things so abruptly i felt and there could be more there but at honestly i would really rather something about ANY of the other foxes like rereading i was like okay kevin and andrew are the most fleshed out probably followed by dan and matt bc neil is closest to them but we could learn so much more about everyone else particularly allison, i feel like we know the least about her and i just. i love my foxes :(

#also i guess tbf most of how i picture the characters is from popular fan headcanons #so they may in fact be mostly white in nora's mind anyway but i was just kinda like #oh another book about two white dudes i guess #also maybe nora only wants to write gay main couples but i thought it was supposed to be jean and renee #and renee has been headcanoned as a woc so like it could've been something to have her be one of two leads instead #i mean i like what we see of jeremy and all i probably am more interested in him than jean but w/e

i do wish people would stop saying that s&b was so diverse so queer so unique with its diversity

#did we watch the same show...... erm.................#lets seeeeeee. doesnt respect kaz's disability at all wylan's disability was used as plot drama avoided casting a disabled actor #for a disabled character #sidelined the main woc in her own show in the second season after making several racist comments towards her that didnt exist in the books #completely ignoring the wlw interacial couple and deleting their scenes #never saying nina or jesper were bisexual and instead letting ppl go on and call jesper gay leaving nina out of a pride month post #completing ignoring inej's trauma and making the brown girl all about the white guy #the BROWNFACE STUNT THING #LIKE WHYYYY. ARE WE TALKING ABT S&B AS IF THEY WERE SPEARHEADING SMTH. LIKE #just bc ur sad abt cancellation doesnt mean that u have to pretend its flawless......#the colorism and the fatphobia too like..
