I think part of what makes the McElroys so lovable for millennials and gen z is that they’re a REAL underdog success story. All the ones about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs starting Apple and Microsoft from sheds and Jeff Bezos starting Amazon from a shed are wrong. They all came from well-off backgrounds with upper-class privilege coming out their goddamn ears, but the brothers didn’t.

They really were just three ordinary boys from West Virginia, and if you listen to Griffin’s Florida State lecture (the whole thing’s on youtube) he talks about how rough things were for them when they started their podcast. He mentions how they were in mourning over their mother, fighting all the time, and ready to separate forever, but held on and decided not to abandon each other in the thick of it. And things were still rough, because their father had to work stupid hours at the radio station to support himself, and the brothers were trying to make it in game journalism.

And then they started MBMBaM, a goofy bad advice podcast full of improvised bits and comedy segments, and it blew up. They started TAZ, a fun D&D podcast where they played with their dad, and were able to bond together and let him retire comfortably on the revenue it generated, and now Clint oversees the TAZ graphic novel series that’s still releasing issues and spends boatloads of quality time with his three sons. Monster Factory is just a funny game stream where Justin and Griffin try to destroy character creators as much as possible, but it’s one of their biggest IPs. Their TV show was short-lived but explosively popular among their fanbase.

They sell out entire stadiums and Lin-Manuel Miranda plays them We Didn’t Start the Fire parodies as they walk on and people lose their collective minds. Tom Holland fanboys over them at SDCC. People come from all over the place to hear them perform, and that performance never got less authentic. It’s just three brothers and their dad being goofy together and trying to make each other laugh. And the laughter and love they carried for each other was so contagious that it made an entire world of people love them, too. 

Maybe they’re a bit weird, and their jokes don’t always land, but they’re not always supposed to, because it really is just a tight-knit family living in the moment. And in this world where our two generations may be close to each other but horribly disadvantaged socio-economically, the idea that these three boys carved out a way for themselves through the sheer force of their own happiness out of such a dark place is more hopeful than any “millennials are killing the mayo industry” article ever written.

[mlmanakin]

padmé are you sure about that 🤔 like are you certain 🤔 like is that your final answer 🤔

[roguestarr]

Anakin: *kills a village of tusken raiders*

Padmé: It’s okay to be angry

Anakin: *kills the Jedi Order*

Padmé: *pikachu meme face*

[sunrisingblue]

I mean I think part of the point was that the raiders are meant to be unsympathetic. There’s nobody in the prequels who sees them as anything BUT animals. Their lives are considered inherently less worthy and I’d almost say that as a kid, I took away a message of compassion from Anakin here because he’s losing his shit over killing innocents and padme is basically reminding him that they ARE animals and thinking in terms of innocents is incorrect and unhelpful. He was defined from the getgo by a life lived considered worthless in the eyes of everyone in power. Now he’s in power and he’s done the same.

Telling him that this was acceptable loss because tuskens aren’t people was wrong. Padme is dreadfully, crucially wrong here, in a way that is inherent to being a child of the republic. This was fantasy racism and the only person who could see the weight of the crime was the one who did it. And he starts asking himself how he fell so far.

Honestly, I could dig into this scene for days and how it relates to the republic and the Jedi order and Anakin’s growing feelings that he traded one master for another (before he breaks and accepts that “useful” is all he will ever be and “chooses” a master who promises him the power to reach his goals).

In his anger, Anakin bought into the republic ideology that tuskens were animals. They were acceptable vents for his fury – at the ones responsible and the ones who weren’t. It didn’t matter. They were nothing. And as soon as it was over and he could think again, he remembered himself and what he always believed in and absolutely lost his shit to realize that not only had he gone against who he was, there was no one left alive to hold him accountable. The Jedi masters would have torn him a new asshole, yes, but it would have been because he lost himself to anger. It would have been to prevent him from escalating to people who might matter. Obi-wan would have been one of the few exceptions who would have absolutely held him accountable for genocide, and even he would’ve only gone as far as it took to believe that Anakin had learned and was remorseful.

Anakin was not a monster created in a vacuum. He had an infallible sense of justice once, and his trust in the republic and the Jedi were very much part of the erosion of who he started as.

To get back to this gifset, Padme never thought Anakin capable of hurting REAL people who mattered. She completely failed to understand that to a former slave committed to justice, the slaughter of the tuskens was against every one of his morals – for reasons that had nothing at all to do with the Jedi code and were directly counter to the accepted hierarchy of species. The first time, he killed blindly. The second time, he killed to wipe out the system of power that had, in his mind, corrupted him and so much else.

I always heard “from my point of view, the Jedi are evil” as a kind of twisted temper tantrum, a petulant “nuh-uh” to obi-wan’s callout. But I think on some level, the murder of the tusken village was his wake-up call to the imbalance of the justice system. He learned that the only reason he was no longer an acceptable casualty like his mother and the tuskens was because he was being used for power. He was in league with the people who allowed this.

*in before someone accuses me of defending his actions, understanding the defining motivations and actions of a complex character is not the same as excusing them.

Never let them know your next move!

Please, you gotta watch Eddie Williams' audition on Australia's Got Talent 2019 until the end!

[thewolfmanslayer]

The way she stood up and said "What!?" I felt that. We all felt that.

[sassywitchprincess]

What your D&D race REALLY says about you:

Dragonborn: You like to be the center of attention and you have a knack for dramatic flair— Or you just really like lizards.

Dwarf: You’re short and you have a lot of pent up anger about it. You’re also the kind of person who adheres to the ten second rule when food hits the ground.

Elf: You’re maybe a little bit pretentious but mainly you like the idea of fucking off to the woods and never having to deal with idiots again. Also you are probably gay.

Gnome: You are the manic pixie dream girl and/or you are a bastard without limits. You might have picked the class as a joke but now you would never pick anything else.

Half-Elf: You’re a really friendly person but you’re too shy to initiate conversation so you just let people come to you first and then someone mentions one (1) thing you’re into and you implode.

Halfling: You really are just Motherfucker Unlimited, huh? You like to cause chaos and you will probably kill at least one NPC unprompted.

Half-Orc: Either you are a woman and you are a lesbian or you are a man and you drink your respect women juice either way you have a thing for big arms.

Goliath: Your favorite character in any movie, show, or book, is the gentle giant. You are desperate for love and affection from your friends but too shy to admit it.

Genasi: Kind of depends on the element, but generally you either are an extrovert or would be if you had just a little more self confidence.

Aasimar: You either play this character straight and you are a perfect cinnamon roll or you play the “fallen angel” and you are an absolute edgelord, no in between.

Aarakocra: You are either a furry or you just can’t stand the idea of someone having the same character as you so you picked the one you’ve never heard of before. Also flight. The fact you can fly was a big deal.

Human: You like to keep your options open and you don’t like the idea of anything being handed to you. You’re a hard worker but also you have commitment issues.

Goblin: You are a goblin.

[necromancy-and-chill]

Tiefling: you had to hide in the closet for years, and by God you want to be as flamboyant and seen as possible now.

[sassywitchprincess]

GOD HOW DID I FORGET TIEFLING YOU’RE SO RIGHT

[sassywitchprincess]

Additions, as per request:

Tabaxi: You are a furry. You enjoy being a troublemaker, but in a good way. You aren’t always necessarily the center of attention when things start going crazy, but whatever is going on you certainly had a hand in causing it, whether people realize it or not.

Changeling: Either you’re trans/nonbinary or you drink your trans/nb respecting juice. You picked this race because you are adaptable and quick witted and you want your character to match. You are also probably a cinnamon roll.

[striving-artist]

something I think we all know about fanfic, but don’t talk about because it would hurt writers feelings is that some fics are like fast food. I mean this as a compliment. I don’t always want to sit down for a six course meal that will be a flavor experience. Sometimes I just wanna dip some fries in a frosty. Sometimes I want something homecooked and delicious and super niche, but super comforting. Sometimes I want to eat an entire dark chocolate cheesecake in one sitting even though I know Its gonna make me sick. Just. holy crap, y’all. Sometimes I don’t even want fast food, I just want to eat an entire bag of chips. and yeah, I’m ashamed of myself afterwards, but at the time it was exactly what I wanted. So, no, we’re never going to say to our fanfic writers that we consider their writing to be the equivalent of a midnight run to taco bell - and we shouldn’t, feelings would be hurt by that. But writers, please, please, please, remember this. You don’t need to create a six course meal if you don’t want to. You don’t have to make something complex and homemade if you don’t want to. You don’t even have to finish cooking it - because someone will be thrilled that you brought a bowl of cookie dough and a spoon, because they cannot even consider sitting down and having a proper meal right now. It’s okay writers, whatever you decided to make. Someone was happy to have it. You gave them what they needed. You made them happy. You did good.

[lets-steal-an-archive]

This may seem like an exaggeration, the idea that one can learn how to properly think like a criminal by learning how crime stories work. On a personal note, let me tell a story from the Leverage writer’s room.

Apollo Robbins (http://www.istealstuff.com/) runs a crew of professional thieves who consult for law enforcement. He was also our criminal consultant on Leverage. Every few weeks he would visit the writer’s room to advise on the scripts and keep us up to date about new cons and the latest in criminal technology.

One day during the third season he sat in with the writers while we broke a story. We posted the details of a real-life white collar criminal up on the room’s whiteboard, using him as the basis for our Mark. We looked at his weaknesses, how he moved his money, what his hobbies were. Once we were happy with that element of the story we added a Vault to the mix, one that used an interesting new alarm technology we’d researched. We then spent about an hour figuring out how to circumvent that alarm. We even sketched out a map of the imaginary building so we could keep track of our Crew’s movements during the Job.

“Well, I’m done here,” Apollo muttered. Noting our confusion, he pointed at the board and index cards cluttering the wall. “This is exactly how real Crews plan these things. This writer’s room is now a fully functioning criminal gang. You could be thieves.”

Of course writing television pays better than crime (usually), with far less chance of being arrested (usually), so we all managed to resist the temptation. But aside from the day a US Attorney asked us to change a plot because we’d created a scam that was a little too foolproof, or when a Homeland Security Agent admitted they were spooked by a security hole we’d exploited in our season finale, it was certainly one of the proudest moments I had on the show.

People keep searching for ways to argue that JK Rowling has always been a horrible person deep down as a way of explaining her recent behaviour.

But here’s the thing: that’s probably not true at all.

Pretending it is discounts the harsher, scarier truth: that even decent, well-meaning people can be radicalised by dangerous, hateful, predatory groups, and given enough time they can become truly hideous versions of their former selves.

It can happen to me. It can happen to you. It can happen to any of us, given the right mix of circumstances. And over the past few years, we’ve seen it happen to one of the most famous children’s authors of our age.

Nobody is immune.

[agender-thanos]

So you’re saying that The Clown wasn’t always… outright evil?

[the-angry-ship-deactivated20220]

No one is born evil

[agender-thanos]

Well…

Good point, but prejudice is best installed at a young age. Why is why I assumed the said Clown was just evil since some early part of their life.

[baixueagain]

What I’m saying is that JKR, like so many average people, very likely started off in a place of well-meaning ignorance. Then she started exploring new and different ideas being shared online. Some ideas resonated deeply with her experiences as an abuse survivor, so she began exploring them deeper. Then, wham, public backlash. Her trauma is triggered - but so is her curiosity. After all, if something she did or said set people off, maybe she’s onto something. So she starts exploring more. Starts asking more questions. And when she does this in public, there is always backlash. Meanwhile, however, in private, her new friends are telling her “See? This is proof we’re right. This is proof that the world wants us silenced, because they’re scared of the truth, and they really hate women that much.” And what do you know, what they’re telling her starts sounding more and more reasonable, especially since the outside world is becoming more and more hostile.

And round and round it goes, until you have a radical.

[fierceawakening]

This is absolutely how radicalization works. I started out “I could never be a feminist, they hate kinksters” (yes, this was a massive oversimplification) and within, oh, i think two years? i was saying “well, i don’t like the overtones of ‘radical feminist’ but what’s so wrong with saying you’re a radical AND a feminist? we need to make sure there’s space for traumatized women who really do legitimately hate and fear men.” When you become an extremist, you become UNRECOGNIZABLE even to YOURSELF.

[filthyjanuary]

#also JKR is just the most famous and most heinous case#there are MANY MANY young people being indoctrinated with the same ideals within the circles they found safety and community in#i do not care that JKR has been radicalised; i am far more worried about people not recognising the radicalising process#and how it invades queer and women’s communties to deliberately and actively create harmful environments#as disappointing and gross as JKR is; it’s#it’s important to recognise that radical ideologies (be they alt-right racism or TERFdom) are spread (via @wondersmith-and-sons​)

[wondersmith-and-sons]

There is also this….revisionist tendency to say that JKR has always been a closet bigot and conservative and right-wing since she got famous, but that’s not even entirely true. One of her first major political stirrups was criticising Tory austerity measures and David Cameron, (she also once said “people who send their children to boarding schools seem to feel that I’m on their side. I’m not.”), donating to Labour and being openly supportive of the British welfare state. She has, in at least one interview (from 2000) self-proclaimed to be left-wing. As early as 2003, she claimed that one of her biggest writing influences was a Jessica Mitford, who Rowling described as a “self-taught socialist”. 

This isn’t to apologise for her behaviour or rehabilitate her into some former activist who is still worthy of saving; it’s to contextualise her recent descent into TERFdom compared to her previous political stances she’s openly held. She was probably never going to be a staunch ally for equality and diversity, and yes, a lot of the HP series were very problematic in retrospect, but she could very easily have gone the other way and at the very least turned out to be less of a bigoted shitbag she is now. The fact that her politics in late 2000′s/early 2010′s were similar to so many people who are now activists and organisers for queer, BIPOC and vulnerable communities should tell us to be all the more careful about radfem ideology and transphobia in progressive spaces. 

It’s comforting to say “we should have known in hindsight that she was always going to become a TERF, the early signs were all there!” but that’s also not true. We have to recognise that the toxic ideology, the active harm she chooses to participate in, was a deliberate choice; this was a path she chose to go down, not one that was pre-determined for her. It’s also an easy way to separate ourselves from being critical of radfem influence; “JKR was always a right-wing bigot and that’s why she became indoctrinated with radfem bullshit. I’m not a right-wing bigot, therefore unlike her, I will never fall for radfem bullshit.” 

People who become radicalised, including those to become radfems, were not always irredeemable right-winger proto-Conservatives doomed for extremism and hatred, and that’s the point. The revisionist idea that she was always beyond salvaging erases how TERFs recruit people (especially vulnerable, impressionable people) in queer, progressive and liberal circles and how easily their dogwhistles can go undetected. The idea that JKR was already a closet right-winger from the get-go and therefore could never have been a good person is ultimately unhelpful because all it does it separate from the reality of how radfem doctrine spreads. TERFs sell their own toxic, harmful views packaged as progressive ideas as part of their strategy and that’s why their ideology is dangerous and requires constant vigilance to drive out. 

[missmollyetc]

Everybody who wears The One Ring in LOTR starts to refer to it as ‘My Precious,’ and Tolkien’s right that is super creepy, but what I really love is that everybody does it, which says to me that this super powerful scary evil sentient ring has a favorite pet name and just, like, will not respond to anything else.

[swilmarillion]

Hey uhh @piyo-13 you cant hide brilliance like these in the tags

[piyo-13]

look i’m just saying, even as educated as frodo is, would he really KNOW the true name of sauron? like shit, of any of the elves left in middle earth by the time the events of LotR actually happen, only círdan and galadriel are old enough to remember that sauron existed in valinor (not counting old sindarin/avari elves because iirc sauron was never called mairon on the shores of ara [except possibly by melkor wink wonk]), let alone what his name was. so to everyone in ME, he’s always been sauron, and there’s no connection to “precious” in any linguistic sense… but mairon remembers.

[swilmarillion]

no you’re a hundred percent right!! no one would know, and it wouldn’t make sense to anyone except maybe Gandalf, but that shredded little piece of sauron’s souls remembers

[marithlizard]

Oh, wow.   

[scarletjedi]

this is why i love lotr fandom. this right here

[shaelit]

so what you’re saying is there’s a tiny piece of sauron’s soul tucked smug into the Ring just going around introducing itself as “i’m babey”

[tuulikki]

This post has justified every second of every minute, hour, and collective day I have ever spent on Tumblr. It was all worth it for this.

[hashtagloveloses]

ok so AOC’s tips for consuming news critically are???? phenomenal??? they’re better than my entire undergraduate education in political communication. it took my entire career up until this point in news media to learn this stuff. she is SPOT on. 

to expand on a few of her points:

1) If you like a piece of reporting someone has done, follow the JOURNALIST, not the outlet. Digital news organizations come and go, traditional news lays people off, and freelancers don’t always work for the same place, but someone who really puts in the work that you come to trust their reporting is valuable. You have no idea what it means to be able to say “you know, I don’t know if I believe what all these news outlets are saying on this, but I know X reporter does a lot of work on this and I trust their work on it.”

2) In that same vein, you should trust public radio and print outlets more than TV (or YouTubers - both TV and YouTubers are looking for views and ad money). Seriously, I work in TV, and this is NOT a knock on TV producers at all, it’s just that TV has to work on a 24/7 news cycle, and sometimes they get stuff wrong because they have to do it quickly, or on a certain production schedule, or it has to be visual, or it has to get viewers. It is often the written/print reporters translating their scripts into published articles online who are doing the fact checking, if any. This isn’t to say all print and public radio is gospel (it sure as shit isn’t), but it’s a good place to start. 

3) Most people can’t afford a news subscription, however if you can afford Spotify or Netflix, you should subscribe to your local newspaper or public radio station. What AOC doesn’t mention here about newspapers specifically, is that you need to REALLY check if that newspaper has a) been gobbled up by a hedge fund b) has some sort of weird conservative slant. Do some research first. Also, if you can’t afford a local newspaper subscription, 99.99% of the time your library card includes subscriptions to some sort of news service, that will get you behind many paywalls. Check your library system’s digital services for what news services they offer and how to log in.

4) Just think before you share. Before you reblog or retweet something, do a quick Google. Especially when someone is like “the news isn’t talking about this!” when there probably are articles about it, maybe even with further information. It really helps to look.

TRANSCRIPT:

6 Screenshots from Instagram stories by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @ aoc

1. An image of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, seen from behind, being interviewed by a pack of reporters. Overlaid is the following text:

“[In an Instagram comment bubble, a question from a follower] Do you actually see truth in media? Or is it hyped for more views?

[Response Text] OK so first things first: journalists & members of the press are people with jobs that are overworked, underpaid and underappreciated. So I’m not here to dump on them because they deal with enough. I respect them a lot and admire those who conduct their work with integrity.

But the institutions and incentives in media overall is absolutely incentivized towards conflict and drama, because that is what generates clicks, views, and revenue. That said, when you see a FACT that is reported, cited, and verified by several reputable outlets, 99.999% it’s going to be true.

HOWEVER! there is a BIG difference between a fact and the STORY. And the STORY (often the headline) that’s told surrounding the fact is frequently stretched, mischaracterized, or dramatized to get you to click. Sometimes the STORY is so misleading that even thought it contains FACTS it is told in such a way that people will walk away thinking the wrong thing, or just getting angry about something that’s actually not a big deal. And that creates lack of trust in media & institutions, and overall polarization. I will give you an example.”

2. A screenshot from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s DNC convention speech. She is shown head and shoulders wearing a lapel mic. Overlaid is the following text.

“Remember this? This was my DNC Convention speech to procedurally nominate Bernie. It was pre-recorded and approved by the DNC, Biden campaign, and Bernie. The DNC provided and advisory to the media DAYS ahead of time that I would be seconding Bernie’s procedural nomination.

This happens at EVERY single convention (Dolores Huerta did Hillary Clinton’s in ‘08, etc) and ironically it is considered an important step in UNITING the party by paying respect to the second-place finished and their supporters and sets up a process so we all come together via roll call in the end.

But how did @ nbcnews cover it? ➡”

3. A screenshot from a tweet by @ NBCNews on Twitter. The tweet reads:

NBC News (@ NBCNews): “In One of the shortest speeches of the DNC, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez did not endorse Joe Biden. “I hereby second the nomination of Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont for president of the United States of America”. nbcnews.to/2Clp24c”

Overlaid is the following text:

“NBC immediately framed this normal process as “AOC doesn’t endorse Joe Biden” when they KNEW this was normal and were ADVISED that the whole point of my role WASN’T to do that!

But educating people on the process doesn’t generate as much clicks or money, so they framed this as controversially as possible. The FACT is true - I didn’t endorse Biden in this 60 sec clip - but the STORY was at best irresponsible.

This actually made my life hell in the immediate aftermath. 20-30 million people were watching on convention nights. Floods of people, misled by NBC, directed a ton of abuse my way and I was cast as “going rogue” and harming the party. A lot of moderate Democrats used this as an opportunity to send a lot of hatred, anger, and vitriol my way.

All for fulfilling a 60 second role that I was asked to do. And @ nbcnews has yet to apologize.

This stuff happens all the time.

(NBC quietly took down the tweet in the middle of the night - after it already went viral)”

4. An image of AOC using her phone with her feet propped up on a table. The following text is overlaid:

“My tips for consuming media & staying informed:

- Don’t rely on only one source. Every outlet has their own biases and habits, even if they don’t want to admit it. Read multiple outlets to determine YOUR perspective.

- Get an idea for each outlet’s slant / vibe / perspective / whatever you want to call it. Media bias rarely shows up as “this outlet is out to get X politician” (though there are some hacky, 2nd/3rd tier outlets or websites that are that way), but it’s more often a bias towards a certain class perspective that’s out of touch, or it’s a bias against context they DON’T have ie race. For example, a lot of newsrooms don’t have enough empowered BIPOC journalists, so their coverage can be really tone deaf towards race, or gender, or class, etc.

- Identify journalists whose work you respect and trust. They often specialize in topics you are interested in, from politics to gaming. Follow them. I find that to be a lot more illuminating than just blanket loyalty to an outlet

- Take a beat. Many headlines are designed to triggers an emotional response. So if you have the inclination to get angry, pause.

 - Also: many journalists are not responsible for the headlines above their work. Which I find really sad, bc they will put in a ton of work on an article just for an editor to put in a horrible headline that undercuts all the work they just did. I believe digital headlines should be held to higher editorial standards to preserve people’s trust.

I believe we should hold headlines accountable too.”

5. An image of AOC surrounded by a press pack with mics and cameras. The following text is overlaid:

“This also does NOT mean that news you dislike or disagree with isn’t true!

But as a person in the whirlwind of it, it can feel quite unfair at times bc so much of it leans on lazy tropes and narratives.

This is why I’m pretty assertive about correcting the record, logging my disagreements with certain takes, and commanding my own narrative. Because if they do it to me, they will do it to every other person who isn’t traditionally seen as part of the political class. I see this as precedent-setting for other leaders who are on their way. It’s a lot of work thought, like a whole other job on top of a job on top of a job.”

6. A black background with white text overlaid:

“Lastly:

✅ Support local journalism!

✅ Keep an eye out for journalists whose work you admire

✅ Respect new and verified reporting, research more if you’re interested

✅ Don’t fall down the “fake news” wormhole but still keep a critical eye

✅ PAY FOR A NEWS SUBSCRIPTION! (if you can). News outlets that don’t have to chase click ads as much can invest in investigatory journalism”

do i excessively share my thoughts about the content that I consume on a very public platform? yes. do I also never ever want the creators of said content to be aware of or god forbid interact with said content? also yes.

the idea that people want to be observed by their favourite celebrities is incomprehensible to me. can you imagine being on a platform like twitter where creators directly judging you for your opinions is not only possible but culturally acceptable? unthinkable.

that's why i am on tumblr. this is a safe space. no self respecting celebrity would use this hellsite in an official capacity, and its lack of verified accounts and general anonymity would make it difficult anyway. the author might not be dead but the doors are barricaded.
