#saw a tiktok that pissed me off

It’s mind boggling to see some ppl on her who claim to be fans of comics characters saying they never read a comic cause it’s too complicated…sweetheart I hope you know you are talking about PICTURE BOOKS. Assuming you all have an education past the 3rd grade you all are capable of reading picture books. And the complaint that you don’t know where to start is just as stupid. Googling “x comic reading order” and clicking on the comic book herald link is just two steps. That website breaks the ages down and has little comments on what happens. ITS SUPPER EASY AND HELPFUL. If someone’s recommendation is confusing you that website is gonna be a lifesaver. If money is the issue then get a library card. Library apps and the physical library will have a lot of comics to read and if you know how to navigate the internet then idk know why you are complaining theres so much free shit on Google. If the huge events and the million tie in comics are overwhelming well thankfully there are many more comics other then cape shit stuff. A lot of indie stories a self contained and don’t go on for hundreds of issues. You don’t have to stick to just superhero comics. Plus the world isn’t gonna implode if you just skip the event. If you need to know anything important from the event it’s most likely it will be brought up again later. After all this y’all are still crying about comics being complicated either you are a baby and can’t read or you are hopeless. There’s no excuse to say reading fan fiction is easier when writers are making up their own shit or doing crossovers give me a break. It’s one thing to read fanfics for the fun of it it’s another thing to make it your only source of content and thinking it’s accurate characterization.

People get so pissy when they're told to be mindful not to overstep when discussing the oppression of a community they aren't a part of and it's sooooo obvious too like, how are you being supportive if you can't take criticism from the group of people you're "supporting"

And now my art has been reposted on tiktok, have I finally made it as a creator? 🥺 But like seriously my god, I didn't think I had to say but don't repost??????? I think I've been pretty safe from it cause I normally just draw AU art but ahh making relevant art, it's a dangerous game....I just yeah, don't necessarily know what to do about it, but yeah just don't please?

People who are like “Omg gen z theatre kids only know *proceeds to list every single musical that came out after 1999*” are the most annoying assholes like hey maybe we just don’t like shit from the 1960’s or we have specific tastes have you ever considered that

the year is 2024 why are comments still asking “why didn’t mirabel get magic at the end” BECAUSE ITS NOT ABOUT THE DAMN MAGIC🗣️🗣️ magic is used as framing to show the issues in the family!! why does every tiktok comment section say she needed powers💀 did u watch the movie at all??? Madrigals are MORE than JUST their gifts!! gifts are still apart of them mirabel just got unlucky! and that’s life! bad things happen to good people and there’s nothing we can do! mirabels issue ISNT not having magic is how she feels isolated and unimportant BECAUSE she doesn’t have magic! why cant yall talk about the actual morals of the damn movie and realise magic isnt the point.

you know from a PR standpoint Roy having his brand be “asshole who curses a lot” is actually perfect. Because either he’s a dick to a fan, like they’d expect, so who cares or he’d be nice and it’d be a pleasant surprise for them that would make their day.

There’s no big exposé coming about “Roy Kent secretly mean manager” lol

[monarch-boo]

So I just had a thought-

You know that meme floating around where people put Beldam Paper Mario with a speech bubble under transphobe's posts to make fun of them?

What if for when somebody infantilizes autistic grown-ass adults we made a Lenni speech bubble.

“Aaron Tveit is a tenor he shouldn’t have been cast in a baritone role”/“Sondheim is rolling in his grave rn”/“He sounds too cute and unthreatening.” Genuinely shut the fuck up oml how does it feel to be boring asf 😭 He played the role extremely well, the songs sounded great in his vocal range, he WAS extremely threatening, and y’all are just being petty and puritanical about this shit. I’m a hardcore fan of Josh Groban and Len Cariou’s interpretations of the character, but Aaron Tveit did just as good of a job playing Sweeney Todd as anyone who came before him.

Sweeney Todd is a show that is and always has been continuously reinterpreted and played around with, while still keeping its core characterisation, plot and themes, which, just saying, were way clearer under Tveit’s portrayal of the character than for example, some of the “classic” baritone portrayals like George Hearn (iconic as his performance was, totally rewatching my 1982 proshot DVD on loop over here). He captured the sympathy and tragedy of the character whilst still being feral, aggressive, passionate and threatening, he’s a great actor and apart from the very mild set-back of his vocal range just being higher, he’s probably the best portrayal of Sweeney Todd I’ve ever seen. And even then, his vocal performance was far from bad — I’d totally stick it on in the background if he had any songs professionally recorded. He just doesn’t have the deep oomf that Josh Groban had, but if we’re going to talk about Tveit’s Todd being too “cute”, I’d totally say the opposite — as much as I absolutely love Groban’s interpretation of the character to bits, he arguably kind of lacks the feral aggression other actors who’ve played Todd have.

And, as for “Sondheim is rolling in his grave”, excuse me?? Sondheim has always been explicit about wanting an actor that can sing over a singer that can act. He reworked the structure of “Send In the Clowns” specifically for Glynis Johns because “she couldn't sustain notes,” his words. Not that either Johns or Tveit can’t sing, but you get the picture — yeah, no, Sondheim would absolutely not be rolling in his grave because a tenor played a baritone role he wrote extremely well and opted a couple notes higher than they were originally written.

Also, while I’m on the subject, listen, ok, I love the original 1979 cast recording so much that Angela Lansbury was my top artist (😭), and Annaleigh Ashford is actually my icon oml I absolutely adore her, but bsfr the hate on Sutton Foster was wayyy out of order. I’m not really a fan of a lot of the stuff she does (no harm to her or anything, just a personal preference 🤷‍♀️), and I think her portrayal of Mrs Lovett was a LITTLE bit surface level at times, (imo she didn’t REALLY have the same super strong characterisation that Ashford brought to the table tbf?), but for the most part she was actually really really funny and her chemistry with Tveit was on point, and she was still really good during those serious scenes too.

And don’t get me started on that one time I read a comment that said “Sweeney Todd is not a comedy”….bro… some of these people don’t even know what the fuck they’re talking about 😭

[ithappensoffstage]

Might turn off the reblogs and replies on that post y'all are really pissing me off

[theprestigegirly]

controversial post from me but like,,,

when did people start bashing the romance genre again as if reading romance means you’re less intelligent and to be a proper respected reader you have to read classics like???? isn’t it just good that people are still reading at all???? read what you like?????

it’s like you wouldn’t watch a tv show that bored you because it was “technically good” (and if u do like what are you doing with your precious hours it’s a bloody tv show) so why would you bash someone for not reading some long ass sad deep thinking book they don’t wanna read???

like i promise a whole generation is not losing language skills because they want to read a cute romance and not like,,,,, depressing miserable stuff

[purpleshell-x]

if i have to see kate shipped with price on more time i might just flip the fuck out! she’s a lesbian! and married! stop it!

[yourhoeshorses]

its been a while since ive seen people do it (thank god), but i remember i saw a few people redesigning the soul/dark riders and having them made to be white, and their whole defense was "wElL tHeY wErE wHiTe BeFoRe" ACTUALLY SHUT UP

[raindrvq]

god tiktokers cannot stand when u call them out for their lack of media literacy you try and explain why a lesbian song doesn't fit a mlm ship and they get so defensive 😭 like not everything is a personal attack on u bro

[king-krisu]

Biggest pet peeve in the whole wide world is watching some "I hate capitalism" tiktok and it includes that tweet saying Finland ended homelessness ohmygod bro

[demadogs]

Maybe will already works for vecna… maybe will planned to kill el to steal mike!😬

the culprit in question:

[fizzy-watches-and-listens]

one thing that i do not understand about people is the fact that some genuinely believe that finn would’ve been a better main character than rey

what is the logic behind it?

do you think that if it was a male lead, the writing of the sequels would’ve gotten miraculously better or that the story would’ve been more interesting and original?

stop hiding your misogyny behind star wars, it’s not working, we can all see it

seriously, grow up
