Too Many Fandoms

A blog for me to post about books,movies and tv shows I’m currently obsessed with!

Been working on a new project that I would love to have more people check out! It's a mix between a recipe site and a blog. I will provide recipes on here and then write a research-based essay/report that talks about one of the ingredients or practices in depth! From teasing apart the history of an ingredient to doing a feminist critique of it! Would love feedback or advice on running something like this too :) My first full essay and recipe for coffee is up, and I'm working on the sugar research now! :)

Decided that old buzzfeed quiz about screwing your clone needed the Schitt’s Creek treatment.

I don’t think The Good Place gets enough credit for the diversity of its cast. The main romantic lead is a black man from Senegal who is allowed to be as nerdy as he wants. In fact, his nerdiness is the saving grace of the main character. The character that is often considered to be the pinnacle of beauty on the show is a woman of Indian descent who is not super light skinned. Another character is a Filipino man who, while incredibly stupid, can be incredibly perceptive and offers loving emotional advice and is described as incredibly sexually-desirable. The all-knowing judge on the show, considered to be the most powerful character as of the season three finale, is a black woman. The main character is canonically sexually attracted to both men and women and (while it hasn’t been canonically confirmed yet) is probably at the very least bisexual, if not pansexual. She also regularly talks about how she loved to sleep around and is never slut-shamed for either her sexuality or her fondness for sex. And that’s just in the core cast. There’s also a black female neuroscientist who gets several episode long arcs in both season 3 and (about to be) season 4. Not to mention the supporting cast and guest characters feature several people of color, while the main villains are mostly old, white men.

And all of these characters are actual characters! Even the small parts where a side character may only be in an episode or two results in really developed and fleshed out characterizations. Also, the characterizations don’t fall into the trap of stereotypes to make them more likeable!!

But while all of this diversity is amazing, the show also manages to make it feel organic. There’s no tokenism or show-boating. It’s never a “look, the main love interest is a black man!!!!! We’re so woke!!!!!!!”. It’s genuine diversity built from a place of love and understanding and idk, I just think that the show deserves a lot of credit for taking such an amazing concept and using it to build such a diverse world with such in depth characters. It’s a nice change.

Not to mention it’s a philosophical masterpiece that’s obviously written by philosophy and ethics enthusiasts, and has some deep philosophy jokes that you’ll only get after studying philosophy… which you’ll probably want to do after watching The Good Place.

And all of this stuff is mainly discussed by the aforementioned POC in the show.

There’s a female lead, sure, but instead of being the often annoying “white savior” the show flips that trope around (or throws it out I can’t decide which is more apt) and makes her into the audience surrogate. She’s the “white student” if you will, who is learning how to be a better person from a black man.

Go watch The Good Place dammit. It’s great, AND it’s a philosophical masterpiece.

There are some very self-aware moments about their casting policies, but instead of being preachy, they’re hilarious.  Like this one:

Game Show

Ya know, sometimes it genuinely feels like I’m on some reality show or something. Like my life’s not crazy enough that it’s not believable, and nothing like CRAZY big or exciting happens. But just some of the random shit that goes down can not be real 😂 I was sitting in a class meeting this morning. And I get a text from none other than... Sean. It was on snap and it was a link. I followed the link and... y’all ain’t gonna believe this shit. Y’all better sit down because how the fuck. What the fuck? This man sent me a link to a WHOLE ASS porn video! I texted him right away and was like, “uhhh so I’m gonna guess you didn’t mean to send that? 😅” and he took 30 minutes to respond, because well he was probably busy.... and then he texted back and was like, “oh my god! No sorry 😅” and then we talked about it a bit from there. I thought this was my perfect opportunity to bait him into trading. I tried all regular tricks to get him to trade, or at least talk about trading with me and we kind of skimped around it. And now we are talking about finals like nothing happened at all... but he’s also talking to me now which is not like him...

Matthew's smile when his dad goes back to talking about Fuller House. You can just see the relief in his eyes. This means a lot to him.

Subsequently, the pissed off face (and uncomfortable face by Aiden) he makes when his mom says "friend" is like, yes. He has every right to be mad at her.

Look at his fists. I genuinely want to see Matthew go, rage rage FUCKING RAGE, at some point. He tries so hard to be calm and handle things without confrontation, but I think the boy deserves to have a good breakdown and cuss out someone.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
