Destiel at it’s finest

absolutely looosssinggg it. i'm so obsessed with movies which portray the woman MC in a highly specific job because the writers clearly think it's like "off-beat" and "quirky" but have no idea how the field works whatsoever.

i decided to try a romcom i somehow missed i the 2000s 'head over heels' and i got 3 and a half minutes in and we're introduced to the lonely MC with bad taste in men as evidenced by her extremely short list of ex boyfriends, including her first boyfriend when she was 11 or something because i guess that's still relevant in her adult life.

so she's resigned herself to never finding love and prefers to ignore men to focus all her energy into her career.

this job is immediately presented as though it's for spinsters with no hope of ever finding a man.

the mc's lesbian bestie (whose first line involves her being scolded for being too sexual in the workplace, but moving on) points out their colleagues as evidence that they're doomed to a romance-less, sexless life if they don't switch up their shared career path. the colleagues are three old women, so-dubbed "the menopause triplets":

these women are presented as if they have no idea what's going on at any given moment. this is 2001, and presumably this is an entry level job requiring low effort and no experience.

then their boss bursts into the room, unceremoniously bumping a large painting into the door jam and walls, announcing that it's a new project for our MC.

our MC is thrilled to see the painting. apparently it's a light in the daily slog at her dreary job for loser women with nothing going on in their lives.

And that job is? Conservator of paintings (specializing in Renaissance) at the New York City Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The painting being handled like an old couch on its way to the curb?

The Bacchanal of the Andrians by Titian.

Her lesbian colleague who is presumably also a a highly trained & skilled curator finds it depressing that the MC is so excited about the painting.

it's a quirk unique to this MC that she cares so much about paintings, in her department at the metropolitan museum of art, where her colleagues find all that art business rather dreary. because we all know that's what conservators in extremely competitive museum positions are like.

[wizardarchetypes]

I'm not saying there can't be lifelong love in here somewhere but I also just feel like the monogamous heterosexual marriage you're fantasizing about isn't necessarily best represented by the bacchanal. and that's okay. but i do stand by that.

So many reaction videos on youtube are just yes man slop. Watch enough "good" things to gain audience -> ask people what they should react to -> watch thing -> say it's good -> rinse and repeat. No critical thought or examination. Just say wow or interesting a bunch. It's basically just a serotonin farm for people who just want to watch other people enjoy The Thing They Like in a more condensed format because they're too lazy to actually watch the thing they like!

i am not going to copy/paste the entire article because it's all pretty awful but a neo-nazi group attacked a romani family in hungary two months ago

‘You are going to die now’ – ferocious firebomb attack on sleeping Roma family by neo-Nazi terror group in Hungary - European Roma Rights Ce

By Bernard Rorke Masked Neo-Nazis broke down the door of a sleeping family in the Hungarian town of Cegléd, ...

Negligence by law enforcement in the past allowed neo-Nazis to wage a murderous series of attacks on Romani communities across Hungary in 2008 and 2009, that left six Roma slain and over 50 others wounded. That murderous wave of violence that was visited upon Roma in Hungary 17 years ago, was a shock reminder of the extent to which racist hate speech and scapegoating of ethnic minorities can incite lethal racist violence. This latest attack is a reminder that the fascists haven’t gone away. Hate speech by Hungary’s neo-fascists, including members of parliament, paramilitaries and vigilante groups, still prevails. There can be no room for complacency.

What if angel blades carried a certain amount of combative grace and burned the hands of humans who try to wield them but Sam and Dean never notice because they're the vessels of Michael and Lucifer and have a natural immunity to angel grace
