I really don't think we appreciate how feral Renee is. Like, she puts on the front of a good Christian girl, and she is trying so hard, but the second anything goes slightly wrong she defaults to crime immediately.

i think i have officially figured out that my favorite characters almost always fall into one of two categories for some period of time. either:

a.) the (at least seemingly) ruthless one who thinks they’re better than everyone else

and/or alternatively

b.) the ball of pure anxiety

[starlight-and-stormy-nights]

When I read or watched something like Harry Potter as a kid, I mostly just wished I were as cool/talented/overall impressive as the characters in the movie or show or book. But when I consume that same media as an adult, mostly all I feel is grief for those same characters because they’re CHILDREN and they never should have had to face this 😭

Some of my favorite hyperfixations are the ones that I’m clearly not in the target age demographic for anymore.

Like- it instills an inherent shame deep within me, but GOD DAMN do I enjoy myself with those fixations.

Love em’. I love enjoying wide ranges of media. :D

My gendar is composed soley of naive, happy, sunshine, optimistic and good hearted young boys from musicals who get their whole life fucked up by a higher power who messes and takes advantage of them.

been reading a lot of classics lately and i rly get how these books have lasted the test of time. i have so many thoughts on all of them and i could go on for hours

[iabandonedmybois]

realizing i only enjoy omegaverse when the omega is Pissed Off about it. when the character cannot fucking BELIEVE they’re an omega. just an angry hissing clawing biting omega, and the alpha is so very chill in comparison and also astonished that the absolute bastard they’re looking at is an omega.

mia stegner needs to get more popular because so many of her lyrics are absolutely perfect for all-lowercase ao3 fic titles (maybe with strategic parentheses)

One of my least favorite things that happens when a new fandom appears:

Male character appears who has very obvious mental health issues, he does some bad things because he those issues.

Fandom uwufies him to hell and back, ignoring all flaws and just depicts him as a poor depressed sad boy who can't do anything wrong.

Someone goes 'um, you guys realize he's actually a bad person and an abuser? It's pretty weird you like him.'

Immediate 180 from fandom

Character gets demonized, all complexities of his characters are ignored. People are suddenly like 'if you like him or identify with him, there's something wrong with you' and things of that ilk.

If it's the protagonist, people start calling the piece of media problematic as if it justifies his behavior even when it clearly doesn't.

Does this make sense to anyone else or am I insane? Like, I know in fandom male characters are generally over praised or focused on while good female characters get pushed to the side which is also bullshit. But I feel like looking at characters without nuance, especially ones with mental health issues, isn't as progressive as some people think.

And we can certainly imagine these exemplars of Hanna-Barbera Funtastic as are definitely into the van life, culture and folkways:

Huckleberry Hound and Snagglepuss

The Three Wolves and the Divin' Wolf Pups (Loopy de Loop and Bon-Bon, Hokey Wolf and Ding-a-Ling and Mildew Wolf)

Emmy Lou and Jenny Lee

Scooby-Doo and crew (as is obviously known)

The Hair Bear Bunch

Goober and the Ghost Chasers

The Skatebirds

People when a character is aromantic or aromantic coded: Wowie! They’re aroACE! Because they aren’t interested in romance! Look at how aroace they are!

People when a character is aroace or aroace coded: Isn’t it cool that this character is asexual? Asexual icon! They’re such great asexual representation :)

A compilation of Sung Jinwoo being a soft, gentle, protective, warmhearted gentleman 😌

(Eng Dub because Aleks' gentle voice is unmatched)

I'm pretty sure there's only two types of bassists in this world

- quiet, probably dorky man with long hair (coin flip on whether he plays only 4 notes or approximately ALL the notes)

- the hottest woman you've ever seen in your life

art can be "good" in plenty of ways but I find my favorite art (in longer formats) to be party terrible and partly amazing. half renaissance painting and half shitpost. switching between masterfully executing all the conventions of the genre/medium and or breaking all the rules. 50% the cringiest thing youve seen in your life and 50% something you want to show to every person on the planet. constantly swinging betwern "how does a person come up with this" (in awe) and "how does a person come up with this" (derogatory). embodying humanity's duality of the angel and the animal. both shit and the shit. you know?
