I design, take pictures and shitpost. My fixation right now is She-Ra because it's good and gay. I like to analyze characters. 27. She/her. Stan Catra.

what doesn't kill you gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a really dark sense of humor.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?

Westworld did this as well. Storytelling is dead!

IF FAN THEORIES ARE RIGHT IT IS A SIGN YOU HAVE TOLD A WELL-PUT TOGETHER AND FOLLOWABLE PLOT, NOT A SIGN YOU NEED TO MAKE UP SOME BULLSHIT FOR A TWIST ENDING. FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT.

[katjohnadams]

No wait, I’m not done here:

If the fans get where you are going and ARE STILL HAPPY, you KEEP GOING THERE. It shows they’re invested and your story craft is setting up and paying off properly. 

It is not a sign you need to M Night Shamaylan things until narrative is fuckin dead and “surprise endings!” reign supreme. If no one can guess what will happen, you don’t have a plot, you have deus ex machinas strung together like a child’s macaroni necklace. It might be endearing and beloved but its hardly a fuckin masterpiece. 

To be utterly frank, this is where “NO SPOILERS! NO SPOILERS EVER! NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO BREATHE ABOUT THE PLOT UNTIL IT’S BEEN OUT ON DVD FOR FIVE YEARS” attitude has left us – And the studios ACTIVELY encourage that shit because first week viewing numbers are their whole lifeblood.

Sure, an “oh shit” moment is great, but if you’re doing it well, I should have that moment watching the show the second, fifth, or hundredth time, knowing how it will go. If being surprised were truly so important to a narrative, why even make a Shakespeare play? Is anyone out there still hoping Romeo and Juliet still get together at the end? Why make mystery novels into movies? Spoiler warning: Hercules Poirot gets the bad guy. Movies that directly follow historical events? Clearly worthless.

Come on, now. Sure, try not to spoil shit for people intentionally, don’t be a dick, but can we calm the fuck down and can Hollywood stop pushing this shit both in social media and with business choices like this?

What’s the point of even having theories if Marvel can come in and just literally flip the script whenever they feel like just to avoid “spoilers”????? @the-desolated-quill @dicapitoe

Your laughing, they finally cracked the Zodiac killer’s 340 cipher and figured out the fucker can’t spell ‘paradise’ and you’re laughing.

i CANNOT keep getting news like this

[radiofaraday]

gifted kid burnout things that no one seems to talk about:

the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative

a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud

never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to

reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now

dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this

feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)

being unable to decide on a career path because you could have had everything, only to watch those opportunities disappear as you fail to commit

I made some catradora posters this weekend!

I feel like people are way too serious with cartoon characters' arcs, especially redemption arcs.

Let's not forget that She Ra is a cartoon primarily aimed at little kids and older kids. The purpose of the protagonists and antagonists is to appeal to them, to talk to them. Villains like Catra are supposed to make them relate to her and send them a message. It's not about realism, it's about relatability.

Are these kids likely to take over a military complex kidnapping kids to make them foot soldiers and oppress the locals? Well, no, obviously. But these kids might lash out at their best friend after feeling left out. These kids might be bullied and bully other people in return. These kids might isolate themselves to never feel vulnerable again.

And that's where Catra's redemption is valid and important. Because Catra's redemption isn't about her war crimes, it's about her interpersonal relationships, mostly with Adora. Thanks to Catra, these kids who might fuck up will be reminded that they are not lost cause. That they can make amends, they can apologize, they can change. They might even be forgiven.

Stop putting your adult morality range in a cartoon meant to show kindness, forgiveness and vulnerability to kids. You're missing the point of this story.
