Being critical of your interests is sooooo fun when you have the critic gene & then you sound kind of insane to the average tv watcher when you're like "this is my favorite show, It's Racist" & then you try to clarify what you mean & get that [Speech (legendary) - FAILURE] "the racism is really interesting though"
[Speech (legendary) - SUCCESS] I find the sociopolitical context of pulpy old sci-fi born circa the civil rights movement really fascinating to analyze especially when it was progressive for its time but still reveals the writers' unexamined biases in the subtext
Now to the untrained eye you might be thinking. Wouldn't you rather watch a show that isn't racist? But that's the fuck of it all, nothing is free of The Context and The Subtext. Everything is lowkey racist. And I like star trek
I feel a lot of people are taking this post to be about "I like xyz *despite* its flaws" but I'm talking about the much harder to explain "I actively enjoy the specific way this thing sucks" like it's part of The Experience that it kinda sucks. Criticizing it is fun for me. You know ? I'm studying it in my bug jar
this is a metaphorical thought experiment about the nature of love. doing yuri with your toaster may lead to severe burns. do not do yuri with your toaster
one time i was making potato soup and i needed broth for it but i was out of broth. but in my dog food cabinet there was a carton of chicken broth that i had bought for my dog. now the box did say HUMAN GRADE and the ingredients were just bog standard chicken broth. it did say something about joint health for dogs on there. but the ingredients were normal. i even compared the ingredients list to some normal person broth and they were the same. so i did put dog broth in that soup and it did taste completely normal. but i did use the dog broth.
I had this idea that I've been obsessing over that I have not had any idea at all how to write out, but the fun writing event I've been doing for the last several weeks has a challenge to write a fic in the style of a recipe/recipe blog, so I decided to take a crack at that.

Hey friends! I’ve had a few ask me how I managed to make last week’s big surprise, so I thought I’d write it all out!
I had the idea a few weeks ago based on some things I know about my dad. I’ve talked before about how I’ve been doing community theatre in the same theatre where my dad grew up, and how he’d performed the lead in just about every show they’d done. In one of those, when he was my age, he played Link in Hairspray! And then when the theatre brought Hairspray! back around again, he was cast as Corny Collins! (He was a little too old by then to play the teen heartthrob lol)
Well he hasn’t had time to be in the last couple shows, with work and stuff, but I’ve still been there! So when they finally brought Hairspray! around again, I knew I had to get him to be in it with me!
So here’s how I made it happen!
Ingredients:
One neighborhood theatre
One stage-loving dad
(Dad traits that will help but aren’t technically crucial)
Confident
Loves to dance
Great singer
One son he’s never been able to say no to (lol, he can’t even deny it)
A super sweet theatre director who’s known both their whole lives
Three productions of Hairspray! across about twenty years
A surprisingly well-made costume
Lots of sequins
Very large high heels
Spectacular wig
Instructions:
Go to the theatre director when the show is announced and ask if they have anyone in mind for the role you want your dad to play. (She’ll probably know exactly what you’re up to just based on the look in your eye - she’s apparently seen it a thousand times on both you and your dad.)
Get the green light for that.
Start working on just the right plan for how to get your dad interested - this will probably involve reminding him he’s been in every performance of Hairspray! by this theatre, that it would be a great memory to do a show together when you’re playing the same role he did, and that he’d do such a great job. (If it really seems to not be going your way, call Grandma)
Get lucky and find some size 14 kitten heels in a thrift store - if not already, these will need to be painted red.
Encourage him all the way up to audition. (He might be a little hesitant since he hasn’t performed in a little while)
Wait until the final cast list is posted, then continue to encourage him and assure him he definitely will get the role, and promise to help him with rehearsals and makeup.
Celebrate that you both got the roles you auditioned for!
Start rehearsals - probably encourage him a bit more, going from “leading man” to this is going to be a bit of a jump for him, but remind him he’s going to do great!
Have an amazing show!
Remind him when he tells you that you did a great job and that he’s proud of you that he did too! And you’re proud of him too! This is very important!
(Bonus step: Get a picture of him as Link to put next to a picture of you as Link in a frame.)
(Bonus Bonus step: Get Grandma to give you pictures of him from the first two performances to put in a frame with a picture of him from this show. ((Be prepared that this one might go to Grandma’s house.)) )
Anyway, that’s how I got my dad to play Edna Turnblad!

Sapphic Dynamic where the popular queen bee type is hopelessly in love with the weirdo girl that runs Anime Club. She's so down on herself, writing in her diary "Erin is so cool. She can beat Super Mario Brothers in under five minutes, she learned Japanese to read imported manga, and she runs an Anime Club even though nobody shows up. She's committed to that club longer than I've committed to a hair style. I just know about clothes and makeup, she'd be so bored by me. Oh what would I do for her attention?"
Her cheerleader friends are supportive, like "Are you kidding, girl? You played Sonic on your iPhone once! She's not out of your league!" but she still doubts if she'd be enough to keep up with Erin's zest for life.
"I went to Paris over Summer break, like some normie loser. Erin spent the entire Summer decompiling an abandonware point-and-click Nancy Drew game so she could port it to her Android phone. It's hopeless, she'd get bored of me in a week!"
