Hello world!!

I realized that I've been on tumblr for almost two years without introducing myself, so here it is!

I'm a big fan of a lot of stuff, so I've made this account to yap and post about them! I really love:

My Cool Friends! ( *^-^)ρ(^0^* )

whom I love, mention, and rebog whenever they appear across my dash!

Sometimes I engage in their interests without actively being in their respective fandoms, just for funsies.

Those goobers mean the world to me!

My Lovely Girlfriend ❤️

(who I don't post about, but might mention from them to time)

They're the light of my life!

Fandoms:

Although I actively avoid discourse, I have opinions about my fandoms.

So like, be warned

Detective Conan

I read the manga back when I was in elementary school (roughly 8 years ago), and I started re-reading it back in August.

I'm a firm believer that Ran is the heart of DetCo; even without the romantic context of ShinRan.

I got nothing against y'all, but I genuinely never understood the appeal of KaiShin (and never will).

Additionally, I was not suprised that Shinchi is related to the person who is (consistently) reffered to as his lookalike.

I stumbled into the Akam rabbit hole one day and never left cause of how absurd (and entertaining) it is.

I'm also attempting to write my first fic for this fandom!

Ranma 1/2

Read the manga in its entirety...you anime-only fans are lucky to not know who Happosai is yet 🥲

Good Omens

I watched the show and read the book!

The apology dance is unironically the only dance I can (somewhat) excecute.

Shakespeare

So far I've watched Much Ado about Nothing, King Lear, Hamlet, Richard ll, and The Twelfth Night.

Ngl, I only watched most of them cause of my obsession with David Tennant's natural ability to pull off Shakespearean theatre. But I genuinely grew to love Shakespeare!

Ace Attorney

Im currently on the third game of the Pheonix Wright Trilogy, and I'm LOVING IT!!

Very silly, very goofy. 100/10.

DC

Watched all of the teen titans shows (surprisingly except for the og teen titans show) and my obsession grew, then dwindled with school.

I watched the entirety of the CW Batwoman show cause I wanted messy queer rep.

Watched Superman (2025) and ended up in a long and bright rabbit hole that got me back into DC and the Batfamily!

I'm currently watching Smallville, and I'm LOVING IT!!!

My favorite batfam member is prolly Nightwing, and I hope to cosplay him in the future!

Started Young Justice last week and it's really good so far!

Ive been reading loads of Wayne Family Adventures too!

Queerness

I love my community, and I love my people! I always try to reblog queer resources and factoids whenever I come across them. I love how our society has barely scratched the surface of the rich history of queerness, because there's still so much to learn!

I will not tolerate any TERFS, homophobes, or transphobes. If you feel the need to go out of your way to insult a human being for beeing queer, keep that shit to yourself because that is truly embarrasing. People should get to exist without being belittled and harmed, period. That is not a statement that to be debated or questioned under any circumstances.

one person's "ugghh this trope is so overdone" is another person's "oooooohohohohohohohoho"

[kunosoura]

I think it’s normal for people to be mad at each other sometimes even if they’re close friends or family or intimate with each other. Like I think that’s a normal and healthy part of relationships that can happen sometimes

[kunosoura]

“Why were you on Mad At Me island” because at the time I was mad at you and yet our friendship has weathered that without trouble

[tiredragedemon]

I went to Mad At You island because my feelings are my problem. I needed to stomp down the beach until I could sit and watch the sunrise. I built a sandcastle and did some thinking. Then I boarded the good ship You Matter To Me and sailed it all the way to meet you on the Let’s Talk Shore of I Love You Island.

Okay, I admit to laughing while making this one.

microdosing on catharsis by watching a fictional character or persona i relate to have an emotional breakdown until my chest starts to ache from the amount i've repressed

You cannot convince me Conan wouldn’t absolutely freak Anya out

My kink is unloved characters suddenly being loved unconditionally

It's interesting to think about the intersection of these two facts:

Films reflect the time period in which they were made.

Our most popular films right now are all reboots, sequels, and reused IPs.

On one hand, you could make the case that our generation is being deprived of its place on cultural timeline, because (as far as the mainstream goes) all we're being given is rehashed ideas from other time periods. Seems rather boring to analyze.

But on the other hand, I think future film historians will find that this era is culturally fascinating. Not because of the "nostalgia bait" itself, but because it represents the emergence of independent cinema and streaming.

When TV was invented, people could watch filmed media at home. You no longer had to go to a theatre just to watch cartoons or comedies.

So the studios responded with a wave of epics in the 1950s. They said "Okay, you can get Dick Van Dyke at home, but you can't get Ben-Hur." Television couldn't compete with the budget, big name stars, or visual tech that film studios could offer. They were financially incentivized to blow your socks off with visuals and big name stars.

But with the emergence of streaming and independent film, that's no longer the case. A-listers are happy to take TV roles, and TV offers Hollywood-level visuals. You don't need to mess with the theatre system at all. It's easier than ever to make good-looking movies and share them with the masses with no major studio backing.

So what's the one thing that studios still have going for them? What's the one thing that Disney can give you that an independent filmmaker can't? Yoda. The Little Mermaid. Iron Man. Fucking brands. That's all they have, so that's all they sell.

We aren't being sold reboot after reboot because it's what the people want to see, or because our current culture is somehow more boring and lifeless than ever before. It's because it's the last stranglehold that these soulless studios have over the industry. They will shove your own childhood down your throat because their domination over previous generations is the one thing they have left to sell to this one.
