i just don’t know if that many of us need to be on the roads driving. we should live in a world where more people can sit that one out
people don’t enjoy shipping anymore. the point of shipping isn’t the catharsis of watching them kiss onscreen, it’s grabbing the characters and mashing their faces together like you’re five years old playing Barbie in your room again. it’s to take one moment of eye contact in canon and read that over and over and over again with twenty different writers’ interpretations of the characters internal monologues if they were in love. it’s to see the characters interact and cheer because you know that’s another moment to add to your list of canon compliant fic ideas. you’re stressing yourself out, this is supposed to be fun!
When I was younger and more abled, I was so fucking on board with the fantasy genre’s subversion of traditional femininity. We weren’t just fainting maidens locked up in towers; we could do anything men could do, be as strong or as physical or as violent. I got into western martial arts and learned to fight with a rapier, fell in love with the longsword.
But since I’ve gotten too disabled to fight anymore, I… find myself coming back to that maiden in a tower. It’s that funny thing, where subverting femininity is powerful for the people who have always been forced into it… but for the people who have always been excluded, the powerful thing can be embracing it.
As I’m disabled, as I say to groups of friends, “I can’t walk that far,” as I’m in too much pain to keep partying, I find myself worrying: I’m boring, too quiet, too stationary, irrelevant. The message sent to the disabled is: You’re out of the narrative, you’re secondary, you’re a burden.
The remarkable thing about the maiden in her tower is not her immobility; it’s common for disabled people to be abandoned, set adrift, waiting at bus stops or watching out the windows, forgotten in institutions or stranded in our houses. The remarkable thing is that she’s like a beacon, turning her tower into a lighthouse; people want to come to her, she’s important, she inspires through her appearance and words and craftwork. In medieval romances she gives gifts, write letters, sends messengers, and summons lovers; she plays chess, commissions ballads, composes music, commands knights. She is her household’s moral centre in a castle under siege. She is a castle unto herself, and the integrity of her body matters.
That can be so revolutionary to those of us stuck in our towers who fall prey to thinking: Nobody would want to visit; nobody would want to listen; nobody would want to stay.
#it’s so so important to remember that representation is not one-size-fits-all#what is empowering to one person might be exhausting and oppressive to someone else#some people need stories about having the strength to save themselves#some people need stories about being considered worthy of being saved#some people need inspiration for their independence while others need validation that they don’t have to be able to do everything themselves#before you lash out against something PLEASE stop to consider:#is this inadequate and/or damaging representation?#or is it just something I don’t personally relate to?

It’s been half a decade and I still haven’t found an articulation of the complexity of “representation” as concisely and precisely mindblowing as @hungrylikethewolfie’s here.
It's always surprising to see that so many people engage with media with the shipper blinkers so firmly on that they manage to miss the (very satisfying!) thematic continuation and conclusion
OK but I would genuinely like your take on how this ending gels with the thematics established in both previous seasons and the book:
Pepper: “But there won't be any people. They'd all be dead.” Adam: “Oh, I can make us some new people.” Brian: “Adam, please let us go home. I want my mummy and my daddy.” Adam. “No! I'll make you new mummies and daddies.”
Adam: “We'll get rid of everything stupid and start all over again.”
Brian: “You're going to burn all this away. Why? Because some adults mucked things up? That's a reason to fix it, not destroy it.”
And of course, the entirety of god's bet with Job, that replacing existing humans with "new" ones counts as a win, because individuals never mattered anyway.
In GO3, they literally crowned Adam's POV as the correct one: That scrapping the world as it is to remake it into a new, better one is the solution. That mass murder is OK if that means the new world gets to be structured better.
My main beef with GO3 isn't any shippy reason, it's the very thematics I loved Gomens for that GO3 takes a 180 on.
As an aroace girly, I think people are placing too much importance on a kiss. It’s not needed when their relationship and bond does all the talking.
A take I loved from the hellscape that is Twitter:
He tiny and just wants to dine with you
