QWERTY

[rosslynpaladin]

Look we have records of Medieval Knights crying out in their sleep, having emotional outbursts or flinching at the sound of clashing metal. We have records of people all through history who were treated badly by people who should have loved them, and having problems knowing who to trust. We have years worth of artists putting their human pain at broken hearts and broken promises into music that makes us cry.

Yes people have been traumatized by awful things for all of history and just like them You didn’t deserve to be hurt either.

You ever think about how they made the minions immortal so that they wouldn’t have to explain how they reproduce

[forever-lynx]

?? they made the minions immortal???

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah it’s like the same 200 minions forever

[what-even-is-thiss]

They also trapped them in the Arctic for a long time so they wouldn’t have to show them working for hitler because canonically they’re evil and serve the most evil master around and they’re clearly ok with serving dictators because they were depicted helping Napoleon so the solution to keep hitler out of the story was just to trap the yellow blobs on an iceberg.

[what-even-is-thiss]

So these things have been alive since the dinosaurs and are basically minor spirits or gods that exist to serve the side of evil and during that whole time they remained grossly incompetent.

Does the universe in despicable me want evil to fail or win? Or are these stupid yellow sexless idiots meant to keep a balance of some kind? Because they do not seem to have a niche in any ecosystem that I know of so their origin must be divine somehow.

[dame-a-dozen-deactivated2023061]

since the minions are technically the last of their kind (since they seem to not be able to reproduce) does this mean that they are a protected species?

[what-even-is-thiss]

See, I don’t think that they’re a species. I think that they’re something else. Because everything else in that universe seems to follow ordinary rules of evolution but the same however many hundred minions keep changing their appearance and not dying. I think that the minions were intelligently designed.

[sammy-genderspikeidiot]

Roman, my guy, are you really saying that minions are evidence of a god in despicable me lore?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Not god per se but… something.

[jackest-jack]

Evil vs good. Evil made minions, good made them stupid yellow blobs

[what-even-is-thiss]

So are you positing that maybe they came to be because of some primordial yin/yang type battle between energies in the ocean or something?

[crap-copper]

But they have to reproduce somehow, there are way more minions in the Despicable Me movies than the Minions movie

[ndiecity-deactivated20241101]

there's a blueprint hanging on a wall in the first movie that shows Gru developed a way to create minions out of corn kernels

[official-lucifers-child]

please i don’t want to learn these things

[infinitelines]

No one wants to talk about the fact that they worked with Napoleon means the minions canonically participated in the trans Atlantic slave trade

[what-even-is-thiss]

Finally a new observation that doesn’t have to do with corn

I can’t stand Luke or Moira. Like… they treat June like Gilead is behind her, like she’s supposed to be all focused on the future and that’s just fucked up. Yes, they’re severely traumatized too. Moira lost her girlfriend, Luke lost his family and when his wife returned, she was changed. And OF COURSE SHE FUCKING WAS!!! She’s been in Gilead, as handmaid, for about SEVEN YEARS. She’s been raped multilpe times. She’s witnessed countless bodies hanging on the wall. She’s witnessed plenty of executions.  She’s been forced to take part in stoning and hanging people.  She saw a 15-year-old girl (Eden) being drowned in a swimming pool for running off with a guardian. She’s been used as a propaganda tool for Gilead and seen handmaids with their mouths sealed with metal rings. She’s given birth alone in an abandoned house. She’s been transported alongside other panicked and scared women in cattle trucks, watching disabled women being brought away in another truck - most likely to their immediate death. She’s had her own daughter torn from her arms. She’s lost her mother. She’s gone undercover for the resistance as a Jezebel, only to nearly be raped by a commander, being forced to kill him. She’s arranged an escape of 86 children from Gilead to Canada. She was brutally raped while pregnant to hurry up the labor. She’s been on constant edge for YEARS, been forced to scrutinize every person around her, loosing any sense of normal relationships, normal reactions, normal behaviors. She was robbed of her own name, her own body, her own self. But yeah, it’s TOTALLY normal for Moira, Luke and others to tell her to leave the past behind, not having too unhealthy thoughts, focusing on HEEEEALING, being here and now, acting happy and gratetful, play happy family, pretending Hannah isn’t in their thoughts, ignoring all the unspeakable horrors June has been through WHILE saving 86 kids AND fighting to bring Gilead to their knees. Because it’s fine for MEN to go full on Rambo on villains for less than a tenth of what June went through, but June is a woman and a MOTHER and SAFE NOW and that means she’s supposed to see her justified hatred as something that should just be felt and talked about, with the goal being some sort of healing. And guess what? I fucking LOVE that June doesn’t do that. I love that she’s nowhere near any healing because why the hell should she?! She’s been through more than most of the really fucked up war vets. Her PTSD isn’t even on the same level as Luke’s or Moira’s. June hasn’t been in Canada for long, that seven year long nightmare isn’t over just because Luke and Moira desperately want it to be.  And it bugs the hell outta me how there are no trauma specialists seen or heard of here and that Moira clearly hasn’t been told that she has no business telling people what they can and cannot think and feel, that she’s not a licensed therapist, not some trauma specialist and should stop telling June how to handle her feelings. It also drives me absolute crazy with how DUMB Luke is. Did he not fucking listen to June’s testimony? Does he think he can just walk around talking about daily normal things and tell June that she should forget about Gilead and focus on the now. I just can’t understand how the hell he’s functioning.   The fact that so many people in the Canada storyline - and real ass people watching the show - can’t grasp that June isn’t primarly a wife, mother, friend, woman etc. in this season, but a fucking Rambo, a goddamn Beatrix Kiddo, a woman driven purely by a very justified and blood thirsty revenge, that has twisted her into someone else than the June she was before, is beyond me. I love this June. I love that she’s bloodthirsty, that she admits how much she loved killing Fred, how she relished in being covered by his blood, how she doesn’t regret it one bit. I love that she’s not thinking straight, that she’s more driven by her revenge than by being a mother to Nicole. I love that she steps outside of the safe bubble she knew all along she couldn’t remain in and took matters in her own hands. The fact that Luke doesn’t understand her is infuriating, yes, but I have a lot more anger towards Moira, who’s developed into a nagging, accusatory, mother henning moron since she left Gilead.  She should have a lot more sympathy and in the cases she can’t - which is valid - she at least shouldn’t judge and DEFINITELY should stop fucking compare. June has been through more and worse and for a lot longer and Moira is an idiot for not grasping how her own way of handling her own trauma, can’t be applied to June. To quote Budd from Kill Bill 2: “That woman deserves her revenge.” Anyone who doesn’t get that by now, hasn’t been paying attention.

Having gone to a more liberal school, I got “The Puritans came to America to escape religious persecution and then found out they actually quite liked religious persecution when they were the persecutors.”

[oncewasafez-deactivated20240507]

I hate that kdrama trope of the man disappearing for whatever reason leaving the woman heartbroken just to come back in the last episode and everything is suddenly fine?

How is that supposed to be romantic? Why do you deserve not having the pain of seeing her worrying about you while she still worries but can't see you? How is thinking that you died or hate her better than going through the hardship together. Ugh...

[imlearningtudraw]

Yun-gyeong shouting at Geum-cheol about the hardships of pregnancy and the healing process after you give birth was so good.

Also him being inconsiderate and not taking her words seriously is so real.

Many baby fathers (I'm including everyone husband, boyfriend etc. because this applies across the board) don't take their baby mothers words seriously during pregnancy because they don't realise just how hard it is to MAKE a child. Like even if you have an easy pregnancy you're still in an incredibly delicate state and should be thusly accommodated! Like I know that taking care of someone who's pregnant isn't easy but you have to be incredibly understanding because it's not easy for them either.

I'm glad he went to get her favourite fruit and then apologised and thanked her for giving birth and raising his chil(now dren).

I'm glad that he went to Dusik and complained then got a new perspective and then went to apologise!

I love that the men apologise on this show.

Also I loved Dusik saying that she's not more mature than him and that she proposed to him and tried to make things work with him even though she was just as scared as he was.

Women are just as scared and confused but since they're the ones making the baby, they have to get it together instantly!

Also Hyejin arriving at the shop and immediately cleaning up and offering to tie her shoelaces also showed how oftentimes the people we can depend on are other women. Whether we ask for it or not. (It made me think about how growing up it was always aunties and grandmothers who were there to help my mom out when she was still single) Sisterhoods are a blessing!

Also Hyejin and Dusik helping Yun-gyeong deliver their baby also showed the importance of community! Community is the difference between life and death!

[seonhorangie-deactivated2021101]

also the themes and points around motherhood in this episode were so beautiful. when dusik said "she's fulfilled her role as a wife and a mom, but what about herself?", i cried.

where does a person end, and a mother begin? i think about this so much with my own mother. i realized i don't know a lot about my mom's life before she became my mom, but she lived a life for many years before i came. i want to spend more time getting to know her as a person too, while i can.

there is a very beautiful book called please look after mom by shin kyungsook that speaks more to this feeling. i highly recommend it, it's an incredibly moving piece of literature!

[kdrama-mental]

She's receiving it now, Sir.

[ohchilde]

just figured out why sikhye’s first kiss scene took me out . yes its The First Kiss™️ and that it means dusik’s allowing himself to let someone (whom he loves) past his walls. but its also the way he looked at her after her confession like he was about to cry, like he genuinely could not believe she returned his feelings . and then its the way he kissed her so damn tenderly like he thinks hes dreaming
