Like, All My Helluva Crit Stuff, Man

Alphonse, xe/he/it in order of preference I wanted to organize it so it’s here now+ so my beloved wc and wof mutuals won’t get dragged in. Ask me abt my rewrite!(not much is different in it, though)

Currently downloading a hellvuaboss episode just so I can spam a few second clip of the only trans woman in viziepops work that vivziepop treats with only a bit more grace as most porn sites treat representing trans women.

But she could've been so much more. I know her more than vivziepop does even down to her parents being suntly transphobic toward her too since its Canon that they have reductive views on what it means to be a man or a woman which would leak into transmisogyny

My wife with less than a minute of screentime+ a few more minutes from a miniseries episode

the new version of the pilot is so unfortunate to me because they made stolitz look even worse to viewers. blitz, it seems, has literally never been more uncomfortable with stolas in his life.

maybe it was the same in the original version but admittedly i don't quite remember

[tooningin]

There’s a scene where after he’s finished, Blitz gets ready to leave, and Stolas is like “Well looks like I’ll take my grimoire now”, and only agrees to extend Blitz’s deadline when he (Blitz) says he’ll do more next time 🤮🤮

It’s even worse

Viziepop trying to make Stella, a female antagonist in helluva boss, more unlikable to the point where she heavily implies stella was in a incestuous relationship with her older brother will never not be funny to me. You should hate this woman because she was abused by the family. You really should. Its her fault. Have I told you im a feminist btw.

[oleicat]

Okok so I'm supposed to believe that the guy who's willing to trap a narrativally racialized character in a sexual subservient relationship with him is being horrifically abused by his wife who was forced to marry him (when if we're looking at history and today women have always gotten the short end of the stick in arranged marriages) and she's evil and doesnt care about their daughter and the fact she's implied to be a victim of incest is proof of her degeneracy and inherent wicked nature. Gotcha gotcha

I will not hold out hope for textual transfem Angel Dust. It does not matter that he's a sex worker unlearning his defense mechanism of ironic detachment now that he's surrounded by people he loves and literally said the line 'I'm a man of many jobs, and one of them is being a woman'. Vivziepop is TME, and far more on the nose transfem stories have been written in complete cluelessness by TME people. I will channel these feelings productively by eating a brick instead.

Like, I'm not arguing with you about whether it's the "best ever", but... look. If you can't think of a single thing you'd criticise about your favourite media, what that tells me is that your understanding of your favourite media is so shallow that nothing you have to say about it could possibly be worth listening to.

millie is not a 'southern belle' she does not have a plantation owning family, she lives in Hell and not the southern usa, she is voiced by a Black woman, this use of words without knowing what they mean and just assuming off vibes is DANGEROUS!!!

[plaidos]

There is always a fandom discourse about how fandom is too much about shipping and romantic love, but my beef is actually with people being too fond of the idea of a family as the purest form of love and the strongest unit.

Starting from pople tending to turn every story about siblings who are not besties into this huge tragedy instead of awknowledging that maybe, sometimes, people are not close with their siblings. Or that people are so weird about mothers.

But what irks me even more is the tendency to decide that two people who are close in canon have a "sibling coded relationship" which suddenly also means that shipping them together is wrong. Or if a character has an older person in their life whom they look up to - well that is their parent now!!!! They can't fuck their parent!!!!

There is this underlying idea that elevating characters into a familial bond is above such concepts as romantic love or sex. Which sucks because that is not what the concept found family means - it was meant to describe the queer experience of finding your people and community from outside of your blood relatives, and it was never meant to say that there can't also be romantic relationships within that community.

And it is not even always about the fact that I want to ship my blorbo with everyone who comes near him (although I absolutely do), but I think that sometimes there can be meaningful dynamics that are not about family. I want my blorbo to have friends, lovers, partners, mentors, neighbours, a trusted older person who they can call to but is not their parent.

Maybe some of this rises from the fact that family for me is something complicated and sore and not as important as my friends and community. But also the idea of a nuclear family as the pillar of society is such a conservative talking point and it is weird that people keep throwing a fit about romance and dating as societal standard but don't seem to notice this one.

crazy how every time a female character gets cliche misogynistic writing we have to explain to people again that fictional characters are not real and do not choose things for themselves.

[lesbinewren]

it’s really this at the end of the day tbh

[blitzstrikebop]

i'm pretty sure this is a joke but i kinda need trans girl loona and dead stolas to be true. .

This is how I feel about S2 of Hazbin in a nutshell

Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.

that post about how the founder of chiropractic said he learned it from a ghost always makes me laugh because i think the first time he even said anything to that effect was in a letter in like 1911. where he actually developed chiropractic from was that in 1895 he, like, thumped harvey lillard on the back and harvey lillard said that it restored his hearing. which is to say that chiropractic came out of a longer history of anglo medicine's attempts to cure / eradicate deafness, and the central chiropractic claim was (is) that a subluxation-free spine liberates the patient's 'innate intelligence' —you can see easily how this links into eugenic discourses about worthy vs pathological bodies, the idea that a sick or suffering person is 'diseased' in the mind, the promise of 'curing' the intellect, &c. to me the ghost is the least damning thing here

They included a Rapist, a character that Rapes People, in a friendship fixes everything song. In the season finale. And then they had his Rape Victim rejoin him after that. The Rapist.

i bet a HUGE number of vampire hunters would develop obsessive compulsive symptoms around the possibility of being a vampire. carrying around a little compact mirror so they can compulsively check for a reflection. saying DON’T INVITE ME IN to anyone who opens a door for them, and if they forget they have to walk out and tell the person to revoke the invitation. spending hours after counting anything obsessively wondering if they did it compulsively you get the picture

[goblinindenial]

I. . . Ah kinda feel there'd be a few obvious signs that they'd been turned tho

[romanceyourdemons]

idk what to tell you except that ocd is intrinsically illogical. i have a whole routine between starting my car and putting it in gear to ensure that i didn’t unknowingly break into and hotwire someone else’s car. this post was inspired by me becoming convinced i had covid because i “felt like i might have needed to cough a few hours ago.” a lack of real evidence means nothing to a brain that has already decided it’s in danger
