Someone at an old job asked why I wanted to write up the meeting minutes for our team and I said 'i wanna control the narrative' and they were like 'what' and I pointed out that no one was gonna remember what we said in six months and so my interpretation of the meeting would dictate the assumed reality of what happened

"none of you ever send corrections when I offer the draft so y'all have consented to my version"

"we don't read that shit"

"you must trust me implicitly to create our shared reality that's so sweet"

That's how several coworkers decided I was a supervillain and how I learned several coworkers didn't understand record keeping as like a CONCEPT

What a highly specific and devastating word

Why doesn't English have that word it describes teenagerhood perfectly

A Subgenre

For research purposes (for Serious Media Academia and the Pursuit Of Knowledge, I assure you), I looked at every film I know of that falls into the "action man who is played by an irl wrestler/martial artist/bodybuilder is forced into a domestic setting where he must take care of a kid/several kids" subgenre. And then organised them by release date.

Here are my findings:

List order:

My Spy (2020)

Playing with Fire (2019)

The Tooth Fairy (Jan 15 2010)

The Spy Next Door (Jan 22 2010)

The Game Plan (2007)

The Pacifier (2005)

Twin Sitters (1994)

Mr. Nanny (1993)

Kindergarden Cop (1990)

Actors who starred in these films include:

Dave Bautista (wrestler)

John Cena (wrestler)

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (wrestler)

Jackie Chan (martial artist)

Vin Diesel (bouncer, martial artist)

"The Barbarian Brothers" Peter and David Paul (bodybuilders)

Hulk Hogan (wrestler)

Arnold "Arnie" Schwarzenegger (bodybuilder)

Here are my conclusions:

The subgenre started in 1990 with the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Kindergarden Cop.

This subgenre is still relevant (as recent as 2020).

This subgenre peaked so hard at one point, that in 2010, there were two films of this genre that released within a week of each other.

Something something, The Way of The Househusband anime is somehow connected to this subgenre.

The Rock is fond of this subgenre (was in multiple films).

The creation of this subgenre is all Arnie's fault, lmao.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

if you told vin diesel fast and the furious you were gay he'd be like "Some people like driving stick…some people like driving automatic…what matters is you cross the finish line.." and then he'd rev up a dodge challenger and drive through a building and kill 16 people

[boogerwookiesugarcookie]

he literally did in the fourth one when he's asked if he likes cars more than women

[explorerrowan]

If you asked if he was cool with trans people, he'd probably say "sometimes, aftermarket parts are the only way to get the vehicle you really want. Everyone should have the right to hot rod."

[soft-lily]

seeing this post again after finally watching the movies hits differently. ya he's just like that. talking about family and acceptance all the time

interestingly i think you'd get just as positive acceptance from vin's other character riddick. riddick is like very vash the stampede coded in the sense he puts on a front, but is a more caring person than one would think

[laineyue]

This is more a Dom Torreto character but given that Vin Diesel is into D&D. I believe his OCs are also like that.

[karmaphone]

what do you call this genre of movie

[welcomethisisnerdvana]

I call it perfect. Also xXx belongs there too.

My leather costume loving ERA?

[greatdeadlylizard]

Ah yes my favorite lgbtq movie.

Finally! Someone who gets it!

[mysterylilycheeta]

Violet: Sit down, I'm gonna torture you now Xaden, smirking: kinky. Violet: I think you're sweet and breathtaking. Xaden: What— Violet: You deserve to be cared for. Xaden: Stop, now— Violet: Your feelings are valid and deserve to be heard. Xaden: I need a safeword!

[laineyue]

Much like Xaden... yes compliments are definitely torture to me...

I just had to draw Josh and Fred the cat

If you recognise them, that's a real "What were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament?" kind of situation.

If you are 18+ I totally recommend the book to you. Very funny. Very spicy.

If you are a minor, please don't look it up.

Oi oi oi OOOOIIIIII

I noticed something, a little detail that i really loved.

Dear adult! Satoru has an undercut in manga caps. Yes, we can see the little line marks mangakas uses for short hair, and the defined border.

Look 👇🏻

Yes, it's hair, but i like it.

Is not just a random thing, he has it in lots of chapters, from the Goodwill arc, to Shibuya arc. They dont draw that little thing and keep it just for fun.

I'm super fan of little things like this!

Good day, remember wash your hands 💕

[lost-in-letters]

"My six eyes tell me you're Suguru Geto. But my soul knows otherwise! " is such a raw line. Maybe Love is the worst curse of them all.

It's not "everyone" acting like it's normal. The majority of people know something's wrong they just don't have the tools to fix it. Maybe a plurality don't know that the problem is capitalism, they blame it on something else, but they're still aware there's a problem. "Everyone" is just too exhausted from working 4 jobs, 50 hours a week to scream into the void in their spare time.
