Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Billie Eillish, and Hayley Williams, among others, are perfectly capable to make stand against fascism in the USA, but somehow Taylor Swift is too delicate and would be in too much danger is she does so too.

The thing about bad days, is that eventually they end, and the good days start again, and those good days give you the strenght to face the bad days.

Tiny Chef is going through some depression days, we all need some time to ourselves.

Apparently they had to repeat the scene several times, because Alexander Skarsgård kept laughing at Anna Konkle kissing him.

Murderbot 1x02 "Eye Contact"

I just love the look of disgust Murderbot has when it explains what comfort units are designed for; and the look of "how fucking dare you ask that you bitch" when it confirms to Gurathin that it's not designed for that kind of work.

I almost felt sorry for Aegon, then I remembered he's a rapist and a murderer, so fuck him.

The Grogu puppet improves every single year. And the legacy performers are always tinkering and finding ways to honestly allow the puppet to do as much practically as possible. The best direction we get is when they treat the puppet like it’s an actor. They tell it what to do and we’re all standing around to hear it. And we’re reacting to what the director wants. There’s an unspoken chemistry to this. He’s kind of got this personality of his own that we all understand.

He's dancing! 💚

Also, I love that whenever anyone holds him, they always hold him like an actual baby.

I hope Superman fandom as a whole will one day understand that if you truly want to commit to the immigrant allegory, scenes like Lois shooting Clark with a gun or her jumping off a building to prove he's Superman pair really badly with that allegory.

I know some fans like to say "Superman was always an immigrant allegory" and while I get the sentiment of retroactively looking at how the lives of his creators inform the character they made, we also have to acknowledge that the allegory was never consistent to begin with. The original Superman comics were fun gags and shenanigans. Superman Smashes the Klan wouldn't stand out so much if his immigrant identity was consistently integral to his character.

And if you're going to commit to Superman being an immigrant, then you've got to be open to changes on staple Superman lore. So much of this fandom is dedicated to nostalgia, references, canon events, "but Lois does that in the comics! It's not Lois Lane if she doesn't do crazy things to prove who Superman is!" without considering how that is contextualized in the allegory.

I still get so many comments on my Clois comics but especially the Private Interview comic saying "I've never seen Superman this way before" from even longtime fans of the character. Honestly, I never saw him that way until I read Smashes the Klan. Since then I want people to have that recognition of themselves in him too. But that means being brave with changes! Maybe it's okay for this version of Lois to respect Superman's boundaries. Maybe an Asian Lois can be more than an aesthetic shallow retread of white Lois.

These characters are more than callbacks and references. The reason they persist throughout many versions is because they hold themes. Lois isn't just "stunt girl reporter obsessed with Superman and THE TRUTH", she's also a jaded reporter hardened by life who finds hope again in Superman. Superman isn't just "save cats from trees" guy. He's an alien immigrant, and you can make a ton of new stories from that lens alone.
