I think I dislike ‘fuck canon fanon rulez’ takes because time after time I see how boring and predictable fanon is and how often it reinforces racism and misogyny etc. in ways canon never did

and I think having to work around canon and with canon to make something new usually ends up pushing people to make something weirder and cooler

there is something i find inherently fun and interesting about an unethical power gap relationship where the lower down person is the initiator in a random feat of courage and the higher up feels insanely guilty for reciprocating but does it anyway because well they asked.... then they're BOTH complicit.. the drama and conflict and craziness of that <3

sexual dimorphism in pokemon is so funny because some of it is like. ok sure, i could see that in nature. a male vileplume has smaller spots on its petals for example. but then you look at heracross or pikachu and they start adding hearts to the design to denote a female of the species and ur just like

i just think that like half of the "Demetrius is a bad stepfather to Sebastian" arguments stand entirely on infantilizing Sebastian?? like, guys, that's not your poor little mistreated baby boy, that's a grown-ass man who acts like an angsty 14-year old and is constantly just straight-up mean to his stepfather...

ALSO, Robin has ONE line of dialogue mentioning Maru.

ALSO ALSO, Sebastian mentions that Robin threw away his entire comics collection? why does everyone talk about how Demetrius told Sebastian to take down his snowman, but nobody says anything about the comics collection? like. that is indisputably about a hundred times worse.

ALSO ALSO ALSO, i think people are getting so distracted by their love of women who are mean to them that they hate Demetrius for being socially inept (cough, autistic) and yet think Robin is awesome for being rude to her husband, to the point where he jokes about how short-tempered she is... IDK MAN. i juuust think there's a BIT of a double standard going on here

every year without fail the most boring shit wins the whump bracket, as if breakdowns, self-destruction and stress-induced vomiting aren’t objectively the sexiest

CBS adapting BBC ghosts for American television and there’s already a Hamilton joke... I can never have peace

TOG is the highest rated on metacritic, which is a better gauge of critics consensus, tbh (rotten tomatoes is more of an aggregator based on a binary "fresh" or "rotten" which leaves no room for nuance).

unfortunately i opened up metacritic to check and God took control of my hand and forced me to click on the low reviews and im going to start biting people again
