I reject reality and substitute fiction

If you’re here, you’re under the mistaken impression that this is one of my more quality blogs. I just reblog things. Usually about TV, mostly Glee, some Community. Perhaps my commentary is particularly witty for you. I do quite enjoy making thoughtful response to FYGS and FYGSS. But those blogs are gone now. Oh, and, no, I can’t pronounce my name either. The only other thing of note is that I’m attempting to make a timeline of the show Happy Endings.

I don’t doubt the reports on Joss Whedon...

...but at the same time, if he’s so awful to work with, why do his actors keep coming back? 

A list of actresses who worked with toxic fake feminist Joss Whedon who signed up for another project with him: 

Eliza Dushku Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer Echo on Dollhouse

Summer Glau Prima Ballerina on Angel River on Firefly Bennett on Dollhouse

Gina Torres Zoe on Firefly Jasmine on Angel

Amy Acker Fred on Angel Saunders/Whiskey on Dollhouse Beatrice on Much Ado About Nothing Lin in Cabin in the Woods

Olivia Williams Adelle on Dollhouse Lavinia on The Nevers

Ashley Johnson Wendy on Dollhouse Waitress in Avengers Margaret on Much Ado About Nothing

Many of these gals got serious nerd cred from working with Whedon, and could have their pick of sci-fi roles after their first project. Many did move on to have successful careers independent of his orbit. Even if they want to avoid blacklisting by badmouthing a God of Geekdom, why take another role?

It’s amusing we think Poison Ivy would only kill billionaires. 

Throwing your trash away in the park and you try to sink a three-pointer with the last crumpled-up paper cup and it bounces off the rim? You’re getting vines in every orifice and torn into pieces. 

Poison Ivy likes about 3 humans and wants the kill the other 7 and a half billion. She’s a misanthrope and that’s the point of her.

watching community was really funny because i guess at the time the social justice stuff britta said was supposed to be like outlandish and shit but now everyone i know is like that. like i myself have previously said everything she says on the show word for word unironically

[televisionamist]

Did anyone ever debate any of Britta’s SJW ramblings? I don’t recall as such. She was (almost) never wrong. She was just harshing the vibe for people who were always looking for a respite from their own struggles. 

She was a privileged white girl with upper middle class parents who tried to push her to emulate their boomer ways and she rebelled, latching onto any and every social justice platform she could get her fingertips on, to the point where she didn’t have enough room in her admittedly huge heart for it all. So, she’s just constantly reminded of all these things she can care about for thirty seconds but never the thirty minutes it would take to actually properly educate herself on them, much less the thirty days to actually organize something to make it better.

all of roman sionis’ grievance with harley

“Give it to me straight, Romy, you hate me because I voted for Bernie!” 

“No. Firstly, you didn’t vote for Bernie. Bernie Sanders is a senator from Vermont, and you’re a lifelong resident of New Jersey. You’ve been a convicted felon since 2015, so you didn’t vote for him in the Democratic Primary in 2016, during which time you were in a maximum security prison in Louisiana. You do appear to have used the #FeelTheBern hashtag approximately 8000 times on Instagram in the past five years, though. Also, why would you assume a bisexual nightclub owner would be a Republican? A wealth tax would only hurt the family I despise for cutting me off. My businesses are in the poorer sides of Gotham which are neglected by GOP policies. While I do not pay taxes on my criminal enterprises, which I obviously launder, I happily pay all taxes on my legitimate businesses, on top of a healthy amount of bribery to maintain the infrastructure around me.”

Harley Quinn confirms she voted for Bernie, calls cops pigs the entire film, extolls the virtues of her bodega guy, hands women hair ties mid-fight. This movie is impeccable. At one point there’s a musical number with Ewan McGregor. Rosie Perez wears a bulletproof corset that makes her titties look great while also not hiding her wrinkles. Cassandra Cain gets to act and dress like a kid. Black Canary sings and wears the most gay ass pantsuit my tiny bi heart couldn’t handle it. It’s got just feral women of all ages beating the shit out of people. TWO of the main characters are confirmed queer on screen. Literally iconic cinema

[televisionamist]

Harley Quinn, who was a convicted felon and in jail for the murder of Dick Grayson in 2016, and a lifelong resident of the state of New Jersey, could never have legally voted for Bernie Sanders, and if she did, she did so via voter fraud.

You don’t go to jail for “being a Nazi”. You go to jail for being part of the genocide of 10 million people. 

It’s not illegal to be a racist fascist until you do something about it. 

But, yeah, it’s also shouldn’t be tolerated.

Unpopular opinion

I just saw Little women and loved every bit of it, the book and movies. Periodt.

What I don't understand is how folks are proclaiming "Jo March is a lesbian". I just don't get that vibe, I understand the trans!Jo vibe in that Virginia Woolf's Orlando way. But the lesbian vibe misses me I guess because Jo doesn't have a "bosom buddy" Anne of Green Gables style, which did infact give me the lesbian vibe because of the intense female friendship, with Diana Barry that could read romantic relationship. Anne meets Gilbert and Diana at the same time and they all grow up together much in the same way Jo and Teddy/Laurie do, I read it as Anne being Bi/Lesbian. It is my standard metric when reading a character's sexuality that their preference is demonstrated even in a platonic way outside of familial connections.

Jo doesn't have one friend outside of Teddy/Laurie and her sisters until she meets the professor. We know there are other girls around town because Meg has other female 'friends' so who is Jo's "bosom buddy"? Where's Jo desire for a woman or any other person? If anything Jo not realizing she loves the professor proves her to be an asexual type, Jo doesn't lack romantic inclination she just doesn't desire it for herself which is why and what she rejects with Teddy/Laurie. What Jo wants and enjoys is companionship, which she got from her sisters until they leave her. Jo begs Meg to stay with her instead of marrying Brooke, Amy goes to Europe instead of her, Teddy/Laurie goes to Europe as well, Beth dies, her father returns and Marmee's attention shifts. Jo does not want to be alone as she sees her Aunt March being, but rejects marriage being the only solution when writing is fulfilling to her why can't that be enough, but if Jo doesn't have people, like Beth, then who is her writing for, that's what Jo is struggling with. Jo marrys the professor, because he challenges her to write better and more and she needs that because Jo fears being married to someone who would stop her from writing. Jo does marry the professor in the books sequels, Little Men and Jo's Boys, so again I ask is Jo a Lesbian, where? IMO, Jo's lesbianism is conflated, Jo is a feminist, fictional whimsical character while the author, Alcott broke serious ground for feminism and most likely was lesbian.

I think the lesbian/trans vibes are misattributed to Jo when they should be attributed to the Author, Louisa May Alcott, just from reading her Wikipedia page.

"In Little Women, Alcott based her heroine "Jo" on herself. But whereas Jo marries at the end of the story, Alcott remained single throughout her life. She explained her "spinsterhood" in an interview with Louise Chandler Moulton, "I am more than half-persuaded that I am a man's soul put by some freak of nature into a woman's body. … because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.” [14] However, Alcott's romance while in Europe with the young Polish man Ladislas "Laddie" Wisniewski was detailed in her journals but then deleted by Alcott herself before her death.[15][16] Alcott identified Laddie as the model for Laurie in Little Women.[17] "

ok i know i read nearly all media as lgbtq, but there is something really special about greta gerwig's jo march. anyone who is gay/lesbian, bi, trans, non binary, or even ace and aro can relate to her character in a profound way. the desire for something other than the expected marriage. the knowledge that your self-expression is different than everyone else's. the disinterest in relationships and marriages that everyone else seems to love, but the crushing loneliness that comes with that. no one else can fully understand, but they love you anyway. the ambiguous end gerwig wrote allows the viewer to project their ideal end onto the character. it is never clearly stated if she got married or if she lived a happy life alone, which i truly admire in the writing. this was a film that touched me in such a personal way, and i'm sure it's done the same for many others.

[televisionamist]

Not “even ace and aro”. Especially ace and aro.
