People try to mould Andreil into a grumpy x sunshine trope when they’re actually grumpy x feral

I was thinking recently about how "alt" subcultures are so aestheticized now but they used to be much more about your societal views than the clothes you wore or even the bands you listened to, and my brain connected some dots. Idk if this is anything

[cripplepunk-sylveon]

Yes, this is it! This is exactly it!!

big fan of the “I can’t fix him but I can follow him to his tragic and untimely end and love him even as he becomes corrupted and decays into a shadow of his former self” trope

Actually yknow what. WTNV should be considered revolutionary and significant gay media that played an important role in the growth of gay representation in media especially in podcasts. When people talk about important gay media in the early 2000s I want wtnv to be one of the ones people talk about. No if ands or buts about it.

[the-storming-sea]

Actually I cant shut up about this. In 2012, people did not even think about putting gay representation in popular media. Gay representation wasn’t considered profitable yet. Gay marriage would not be legalized for another three years. The Legend of Korra, a show that fought to the death to have their main lead hold hands with another woman, just released their first episode earlier that spring. Steven Universe, a show well known for its gay representation, including having the first gay proposal + marriage on a kids cartoon tv show, would begin a year later in 2013, but wouldn’t show their gay representation hand until 2015 with the episode Jail Break. The Adventure Zone, a podcast currently well known for it LGBTQ+ representation, wouldn’t begin until 2014, and didn’t show their hand until 2015. In my young queer experience, representation was covert, secretive, only implied or dead. 

and then in the summer of 2012, wtnv introduced itself to the world, proclaimed its main character gay in the first episode, and played it gay (pun intended) for years. Being gay wasn’t a trope, or a goof, it was normal. Cecil Gershwin Palmer was just a canon, gay character who fell in love and stayed in love and was happy. and that was that.

if we talk about revolutionary queer media, we talk about Welcome to Nightvale. No exceptions.

I think it’s really important Cecil Baldwin credit for this. I’m not saying Fink and Cranor and later Dylan Marron have nothing to do with it, because of course they do. But Cecil being gay was not something the writers intended. Because initially, Carlos was not intended to be a love interest for Cecil. He was just meant to be a character that showed up occasionally to be a tongue-in-cheek goof on scientist characters in shows like Fringe or the X-Files. But Cecil Baldwin made the decision to make his character utterly in love with Carlos, because he was gay, and wanted his character to be as well.

For those who don’t know Cecil Baldwin is HIV+, and he’s openly discussed his struggle with it. This is a large part of why his playing a man who is openly gay and sexually active is also really important. The importance I think of having LGBT people playing LGBT people really shines through with both Cecil and Dylan’s characters. They can be authentic, they can be a source of hope and representation. Behind the scenes, Night Vale is just as diverse as the show itself. Cecil Baldwin’s pretty incredible and it’s worth it to read what he’s had to say on WTNV if you have the time.

I'm really not sure what argument this is intended to support.

Capitalists claim to have earned their hoarded wealth because they own the tools that the workers used, even though it was actually the workers who created that wealth.

>password sharing is estimated to cost them several billion dollars

KEEP SHARING THEM PASSWORDS

[boggblog]

Password sharing actually doesnt cost them anything, every time u share a password they dont have to pay u for that. Its free. They just use that language bc they say that not having everyone buy into their service is a loss of a customer they /never even had/ and are pretending they would have made money from those non customers

[sadphonics]

They aren't losing money, they're just mad they aren't making more money. Absolutely share passwords with friends and people you trust.

thinking about how hiccup holds his hand out to toothless and then closes his eyes and trusts toothless not to eat his hand and lets toothless choose whether or not he interacts and toothless hesitates for a bit before putting his face in hiccups hand and trusts him not to hurt him. and it is a consensual optional interaction based on mutual trust and understanding. and then the first line we hear after this scene is gobber saying "and with one twist, he took my hand and swallowed it whole" and the Parallels and the Themes and the Narratives im running in circles in my room

[championsofmyheart]

#I think SO MUCH. I THINK SO MUCH. #so much about how this movie sets up universal rules and then breaks them in the same swing #hiccup's opening narration explaining a world characterized by division and violence in which the only way upward #is through overpowering the Other #and that hiccup's only desire is to prove his strength #and then. AND THEN. the very first chance he gets to achieve his goal and secure his standing in society and his father's approval. #he throws it away and extends mercy instead. #he breaks every rule he himself established for the universe. #and then toothless in turn breaks the very first rule we know about dragons (they always go for the kill) #and so. in extending mercy to each other. in trusting each other. #they become neither vikings nor dragons (at least not in the way we learned them. not by definition.) #they become friends. #and it literally changes everything. for everyone. #AGH somebody sedate me #httyd #they break the rules about what they should be and thus change what they are!!! what everyone has to be!!!!! aaaaaagahghghhg!!!!!!!!!
