I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.

it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"

plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.

anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.

Mr CC Mumbo Jumbo I need you to put on your big boy anti thumb shifting wires and win the next life series for me. It’s me and ten other people being actively deranged about C!Mumbo right now and we gotta get some more people in here. I need to see everyone in this house waxing poetic about what celestial body, major arcana card, D&D subclass, element on the periodic table, bodily humour, subway order, etc your gayass little cubito is

I had a longer, grumpier post about this that I've been drafting (it's past midnight but I'm delaying lying down for COVID+asthma reasons), but I actually do also find the raw quotes about Elizabeth at Pemberley pretty funny. Her impressions of the expensive interior are like:

It was a large, well-proportioned room, handsomely fitted up. Elizabeth, after slightly surveying it, went to a window to enjoy its prospect.

The rooms were lofty and handsome, and their furniture suitable to the fortune of their proprietor; but Elizabeth saw, with admiration of his taste, that it was neither gaudy nor uselessly fine,—with less of splendour, and more real elegance, than the furniture of Rosings.

Mrs Reynolds could interest her on no other point [than Darcy]. She related the subjects of the pictures, the dimensions of the rooms, and the price of the furniture in vain.

they were shown into a very pretty sitting-room, lately fitted up with greater elegance and lightness than the apartments below; and were informed that it was but just done to give pleasure to Miss Darcy, who had taken a liking to the room, when last at Pemberley. “He is certainly a good brother,” said Elizabeth, as she walked towards one of the windows.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth's impression of the land:

The park was very large, and contained great variety of ground. They entered it in one of its lowest points, and drove for some time through a beautiful wood stretching over a wide extent. [...Pemberley was] backed by a ridge of high woody hills; and in front a stream of some natural importance was swelled into greater, but without any artificial appearance. Its banks were neither formal nor falsely adorned. Elizabeth was delighted. She had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste.

The hill, crowned with wood, from which they had descended, receiving increased abruptness from the distance, was a beautiful object. Every disposition of the ground was good; and she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks, and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it, with delight. As they passed into other rooms, these objects were taking different positions; but from every window there were beauties to be seen.

They entered the woods, and, bidding adieu to the river for a while, ascended some of the higher grounds; whence, in spots where the opening of the trees gave the eye power to wander, were many charming views of the valley, the opposite hills, with the long range of woods overspreading many, and occasionally part of the stream. Mr Gardiner expressed a wish of going round the whole park, but feared it might be beyond a walk. With a triumphant smile, they were told, that it was ten miles round. It settled the matter; and they pursued the accustomed circuit; which brought them again, after some time, in a descent among hanging woods, to the edge of the water, and one of its narrowest parts. They crossed it by a simple bridge, in character with the general air of the scene: it was a spot less adorned than any they had yet visited; and the valley, here contracted into a glen, allowed room only for the stream, and a narrow walk amidst the rough coppice-wood which bordered it. Elizabeth longed to explore its windings; but when they had crossed the bridge, and perceived their distance from the house, Mrs Gardiner, who was not a great walker, could go no farther, and thought only of returning to the carriage as quickly as possible. Her niece was, therefore, obliged to submit

On reaching the house, they were shown through the hall into the saloon, whose northern aspect rendered it delightful for summer. Its windows, opening to the ground, admitted a most refreshing view of the high woody hills behind the house, and of the beautiful oaks and Spanish chestnuts which were scattered over the intermediate lawn.

Face feeling the gay panic™

Happy Pride Faceman!

from this concept:

I now have a very cool, very soft, and entirely hand-made 2017 Louie plush !!!!!!

Very silly tail ⬇️

He has a completely functional pull-apart jacket zipper !!!

Also completely functional: the pockets 😼

And here is also a closeup on the little phone

He is made up almost entirely of fleece, all hand-sewn. His shirt and some of his eyes are felt (also the scar on his foot). He's stuffed with polyfill . He's weighed down with lentils 😭 His pattern is made custom by me :) I'm not sure exactly how long he took, but I'd guess some amount of months. Maybe 2, but maybe only a few weeks of collective actual work days

He does also have a dog toy type squeaker in him

What does each option entail? So that way we can make an educated decision.

how did your greasy little goofy goober (nightmare) end up so goopy looking, cause if theirs a canon age in this blog to where he was emo asf when he was 14, then what age and HOW did he become to greasy (my man’s need some dawn dish soap and hot water)

(Give nightmares preferred pronouns as well SONI don’t misgender them because I have no idea what their gender currently is or sexuality hhhhh)

hihihi finally someone asked me this!! 👏(<- rubbing my hands together)

Well first of, nightmare's pronouns are he/him! and he's a trans ace bi man if ur curious

nightmare turning into goo is probably my favorite thing to write about cuz it's the transest metaphor I've ever wrote and also because it goes into monster biology/soul stuff

nightmare turned gooey when he was in his 14 y/o emo phase, and it was no apple's fault! Nightmare turned into goo... out of his own volition and without any apples!

See, monsters' souls are very connected to their bodies, and since their bodies is the manifestation of their soul, then whatever strong emotions they're feeling is reflected right back on their bodies

For example.... a skeleton monster going through immense mental scarring would have that scarring manifest through their bones cracking maybe. or a furry monster would manifest that with loosing fur. ect.

Nightmare felt so much sadness for being left behind, so much anger against his mother, and so much disgust over his body, that his body just couldn't handle it anymore.

So it cracked open! his head split and his bones melted to make something new. something that wasn't *sans*.

The goo is the true manifestation of his soul! something he can shape to his heart's content, without anyone imposing their will on him! (he's a shapeshifter, after all!)

I must say, it was a indeed very painful. But no one says transitioning is always a smooth process

But he doesn't need soap and water man! let him have this!

so I’ve come up with 2 types of LGBT+ representation for my own personal reference. if there are academically/professionally defined categories out there, feel free to enlighten me. for now I’m just making stuff up.

thematic rep: the plot revolves around being LGBT+, like the main character is discovering their identity or actively dealing with queerphobia from relatives/former friends/the general public.

incidental rep: characters are LGBT+ and it’s not a plot point or overarching theme, it’s just part of their identity. this character is straight, this one is gay, doesn’t make a difference on a quest to slay a dragon.

would you rank your top 20-30 rooms with eiden? i wont ask for all eiden rooms cause thats gonna be every H scene in the entire game except for SSR morvay & aster room 5 xD (unless you want to try every H scene [that you've seen]?)

after a disappointing reality check [intimacy room count], i regret to inform u that i only have 34 non-yakumo rooms unlocked 😫?! (i assume when u ask "what are your top rooms" you mean Non-Yakumo ones?) seems like i haven't actually unlocked that many!!!! eep!! how shameful!! my research is biased and incomplete... how am i supposed to know all the characters equally like this...

so uh, if i were to try and rank top 20-30 i wouldn't have much choice AHAHA.......

i can...maybe try for a top 10? though even THAT will be biased because i have been bberyeryy stingy with my keys so far (AND I'M CRYING AT HOW I HAVE NO EIDEN CARDS BECAUSE I KNOW I WOULD HAVE LOVED THOSE)
