Incredibly fucked up that the term "incel" was originally created by a queer university student to describe how she and others she knew felt like they were unable to form romantic connections due to marginalization, social awkwardness, or mental illness and now its only used by insecure men who feel entitled to women's bodies

I've been noticing netflix does a lot of summaries that tell you absolutely nothing about the movie/show in question.

Why did they do this. Who does this benefit. Yeah your stupid movie has awards and famous actors, but does it have a plot?

rating ways to advertise the locked tomb

"lesbian necromancers in space": 5/10. technically true, except that gideon isn't a necromancer and for the most part they aren't in space. can also be tonally misleading; implies a fun space opera adventure and fails to mention the impending emotional devastation. that being said it is iconic and (mostly) effective

"murder mystery in a haunted gothic castle": 8/10. MUCH better at capturing the tone and plot of the first book, but still a little off. imagine picking up the book because of this blurb and then watching gideon nav make a mean girls reference in the first 20 pages. the whiplash could kill you

"a locked tomb mystery": 5/10. nondescriptive and a little misleading, but i can't give this any lower than a 5 because the pun is very good. gideon would love this one and that should count for something

"gay goth among us": 10/10. i'm not even going to pretend like this one doesn't nail it. try and argue against this. you can't. captures the murders, the space-y setting, the queer characters, the tone and aesthetic, AND the contemporary humor. chef's kiss

"enemies to lovers 'i hate everyone but you' slow burn": 1/10. true if you squint. the relationship between gideon and harrow would make booktok weep

"catholic homestuck": 9/10. this means nothing and explains everything

[Image ID: A tweet by "tamsyn should be writing" @tazmuir: "sure, I edited from 12 o'clock to 4.30, but how much of that time did I spend on the discovery that the basis of my novel is 'what if these two were... teenage girls'", followed by an image of Skeletor and He-Man. /end ID]

10/10. conveys the pop culture savvy of the series, the complex dynamic between the main characters, and the humor of the writing style all at once. also makes me laugh every time i think about it

Ok I get that you should not make fun of people interpretation of characters and that character playlist are not that deep but whoever put a god damn Taylor swift song on a spiderpunk playlist should never be allowed near spotify ever again

genuinely cannot believe that the two best multiverse movies of the year both had the main villain’s motivation be a BAGEL

Okay so we're all in agreement this movie was littered with coming out metaphors right? Like with miles and gwen both hiding part of their identity from their parents and struggling to tell them? And the way they recognize that it's scary and won't always result in a positive outcome? There's no way that wasn't intentional right?
