Heard the cats meowing and said to my mum 'I don't think they want to stay in the kitchen any more', and then before she could say anything in response I cut back in with 'men when women got the vote'.

In another episode of iQIYI English subtitles straight up made up a whole story vs what was being said - GELBOYS EP 3 edition

In this scene, we've got Bua talking about his and Moo's playlist and then he proceeded to talk about him surprisingly getting into Moo's close friends circle.

Below is the screencaps of what the English subs were.

This is what they were actually saying (translation may contains inaccuracies since I'm not native, just definitely closer than iQIYI engsubs)

Take a look at the playlist of Moo and I created together first. Moo keeps adding these songs about kissing like 'kissing you, kissing me. I'm going crazy! So embrassing. Talking, dating for this long, I think it's about time that he asked me to be his boyfriend, do you believe me? And I'm so sure he wants to 'eat' me. Eat me up completely. And you know how I usually scroll his IG, waiting for his circle to turn red. Since I wanna know what he does in a day, update on his daily activities. But just now it's no longer a red circle, it's a green circle. And when I went to watch, it's a clip of him showering. You know right? It's the 'close friends' circle. You choose the special people to show them parts of your life that you wouldn't normally show others, but I saw that. Which means I'm his 'special person' now. Isn't that annoying? So listen, like...

Sometimes I get if iQIYI English subbers don't want to translate slangs or fandom-specific terms, but this is a whole other level of straight up lying????? It's weird and I really wish they wouldn't take so much liberty in their translation like that (ToT)/~~~

One thing New Who doesn't really have that Old Who did was the thing where everyone (audience included) thinks the Doctor is this amazing genius from space with the best spaceship of all time, and then someone else from Gallilfrey shows up and goes "Oh, it's you. Did you get expelled from our university or did you just fail your degree? Is THAT what you're driving around the universe in? How does that thing even still work? And why are you dressed like that?"

Actually the reveal that flint might be catholic is a wilder reveal than the reveal that flint doesn’t seem to actually be his real name was to me as an 18th century history enthusiast. the implications of a filthy papift like that being high up in the british military in seventeen-oh-something? hello?

wincesties continue to have some of thee Most disingenuous framings of sam's characteristics within their interpretations of the winchester familial dynamic that automatically discredits whatever they're trying to convey within their dean & john interpretations to me. like i'm pretty sure this post is attempting to critique interpretations of sam and dean's masculine roles proxy each other within the familial dynamic that which the typical sam fan would interpret it wrt the heteronormativity of supernatural a show, but 'man who takes the '''domestic labour''' of the older sibling for granted', ' '''gets to''' escape home to become his own person and attempt a cisnormative life', 'dominant partner script in sexual encounters', 'inherits dark force', 'inherits fundamental character traits from father' to describe sam is genuinely a next level instance of the disingenuous flattening and omission about the actual in-canon portrayal of sam's respective relationships with those things i genuinely don't even know what to say. not to mention talking about dean as being someone 'constantly mocked for perceived weakness by strangers and by [sam]' is so canonically inconsistent i'm in awe. there's also another section of the post that describes dean as encountering sexually compromising circumstances often; where's that thing i'm always saying about how they Love to give dean sam's interpersonal conflicts and frame sam's instances of victimhood as perpetrations.

the first episode includes sam being sexually compromised and him spending 70% of the time he's with dean + the rest of the season talking about how much their childhood mutually sucked. 1.18 literally includes sam acknowledging that the responsibility dean had wasn't fair. 2.03 sam vs dean's relationship with gordon? the framing sam's pursuing education and the relationship he developed while doing so as 'cisnormative life' as if hunting is something on the contrary says everything i need to know about one's perception of the righteousness of hunting and the way its utilised within your interpretation of supernatural; this particularly gets me because there is a lot to critique about sam's ideals of normalcy but it works conjunction with one's critique of hunting. same goes for describing what azazel did to sam as an 'inheritance'—because it IS, it's a damn good descriptor of their relationship in conjunction with mary and azazel's + mary amd samuel's and of how hunting literally and/or metaphorically represents the abusive atmosphere of The Familial Dynamic and the csa metaphor between mary and sam, but this is the most sucky framing i've ever encountered. so close but yet so far

after the reveal of cobel being the mastermind behind everything related to the severance procedure, i cannot stop thinking about when cobel said to helena “everything i accomplished, i earned through dedication and industry, not because i was born into it”… while looking helena in the eye, cobel really told her to put some well-earned respect on her name and drove home the fact that helena isn’t just a nepo baby, she’s essentially cobel’s nepo baby — given the lumon empire wouldn’t even exist if not for jame eagan claiming her research and designs as his own. all things considered, it’s no wonder cobel crashed out after having this conversation with helena outside of lumon headquarters in 2x03. i, too, would be irate.

it's been obvious from the start of this new arc, but i see that it's all gonna be about a few of the important moments of denji's life and beliefs being recontextualized as how harmful it is when compared with someone else

his "ignorance is bliss" motto that has comforted (shielded) him from his grief turns to him telling asa that she should ignore the worst until the worst comes to greet her, and then puts her into the shoes of her abuser as he tells her to just continue shooting buildings like yoru was doing a second ago

his consistent favoritism over women's lives over men's lives returns here to show how he's willing to confront yoru just because she hurt something personal to him, and not when she's an active threat to other people (asa telling him that she's planning horrible shit for humanity, yoru killing multiple other people to which denji tried to placate her at first to then not caring at all and even enjoying it)

just a small thought i've been having for now

so close to a realisation
