THAT'S ALLOWED?

Writing is for communication. Sir Terry knew very well that anything's allowed if it helps you communicate something effectively.

GUINEVERE, FRANKIE, ANDI

[queenie-main]

Fight: When your body feels that it is in danger and believes you can overpower the threat, you’ll respond in fight mode. Your brain releases signals to your body, preparing it for the physical demands of fighting.

Flight: If your body believes you cannot overcome the danger but can avoid it by running away, you’ll respond in flight mode. A surge of hormones, like adrenaline, give your body the stamina to run from danger longer than you typically could.

Freeze: This stress response causes you to feel stuck in place. This response happens when your body doesn’t think you can fight or flight.

Fawn: This response is used after an unsuccessful fight, flight, or freeze attempt. The fawn response occurs primarily in people who grew up in abusive families or situations.

This poor android has been in survival mode for her entire existence.

Knights of Guinevere looks like a show made by someone who…

Pitched a passion project to a network owned by multimillion dollar company

Had to remove MOST of the edge of said passion project.

Bent over backwards to promote the multimillion dollar company’s flawed streaming service so she could continue to make her dreams come true.

Was told MID-PRODUCTION of a second season that her show was gonna be cancelled with all that’s left to make being the rest of that season and three specials.

Was given little to no explanation as to WHY other than her show with an openly bisexual main character no longer fit the brand.

Proceeds to put two and two together when it gets revealed that the multimillion dollar company supported a Florida bill that prohibited discussion of LGBTQIA+ people in the classroom.

Scrambled to make sure that the rest of her series had an ACCEPTABLE ending.

Watched as some of her friends and colleagues go through the same thing with THEIR projects.

Get angry at the fact that the multimillion dollar company made bank off those projects while she and her friends got PENNIES in return.

Quit working for the company because all of the reasons above.

Proceeded to go independent and work for the studio that produced the most FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL ANIMATED SERIES OF THE FUCKIN’ DECADE.

And then make a show where the point is to essentially say, “Fuck you” to the multimillion dollar company and all that it currently stands for.

Knights of Guinevere is more than just a dark, horrific animated series that features scenes and ideas from a Dana Terrace unfiltered. Knights of Guinevere is an animated show made by a Dana Terrace who is spiteful and angry towards Disney and everything it’s done, not just to her and The Owl House, but to the animation industry as a whole…And I’m all the more excited because of it.

Get ready for this one to get the same amount of attention as The Owl House did, because OOOOOOOOOOOOH BOY! Is it gonna be a fun ride!

"Live action remake greenlit. No one asked for it, so we're making it!"

Oh my god this show's gonna make so much fun of Disney

Good grief! Charli Brown is a lot happier after her egg cracked, and disaster lesbians Peppermint Patty and Marcie are of course very supportive! (And their former crush on the ol’ blockhead makes a lot more sense now!) 🪁

There's a type of trans girl who's been getting shit her entire pre-transition life over being "emotionally unintelligent", "an uncaring asshole", "self-obsessed" and similar as a surface-level assessment of what were actually symptoms of perpetually dissociating under the weight of dysphoria.

For these girls, transition provides an opportunity to suddenly experience a lot of really strong emotional connections with others in a way they haven't before. This can be hugely rewarding, and quickly result in becoming a kinder, more empathic person that people can trust and rely on.

Now here's the thing, if you're a girl like this: You also have to learn to be a bitch. You have to learn to tell that girl who's consistently choosing to go to you with her problems, who never talks to you about anything other than her problems, to fuck off.

You have to observe that she completely stops talking to you when she's doing well, and returns every time she's crashing out, and say "I am not trained to deal with your issues, and I am not being paid to deal with you." You have to learn to set that boundary, because you will burn out if you don't.

Transition has given you the ability to be a good friend, it has not and will never turn you into an Infinite Emotional Labor Dispenser.

Actually no it still works it’s pretty accurate

when i was a kid i had moments of being so fucking diabolical because i realized at some point the best way to leverage power over my family was to do shit that would make everybody late

[eraserheadadult]

our house was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods so when i decided i didnt want to wear dresses anymore if we were going to some event & my parents insisted i had to wear a dress i would just go hide in the woods. was so committed i almost made us miss a flight once bc my mom packed a dress in my suitcase

i only promised to stop doing this if my parents got me formal boys clothes to wear which eventually they did. i don't feel bad about resorting to violence bc i asked politely and they said no. proud of 10 yr old me for evil annoying lesbian behavior

[the-prophesied-disco-gay]

5th grade was the last time I wore a dress for school pictures. When my parents attempted to force the issue for 6th grade, I climbed onto our roof and pulled the ladder up after me. My dad borrowed the neighbors ladder. As soon as it touched the roof I pulled it up too. By the time I had 3 ladders they were willing to negotiate, and 2 hours late for work.

I repeatedly told my mother "The bloodline ends with me" because I've known since I was a teen, despite having been a typical "girl who used to play with dolls" kid, that I DO NOT want children. Every time I say that I get called an asshole tho. I don't want kids. Why would I want to ruin my body and life like that? I don't get the "You'll change your mind one day/once you have kids" arguments. I don't mind kids but I don't WANT any

Fun fact! Even if you did have kids, the "you'll like them when they're your own" doesn't actually work, at all! My father demonstrated this, and mom still tried to pull the same argument on her kids who also don't like kids.

Trust me, there's no bigger asshole move than having kids when you don't like or want kids. Your mom either doesn't understand this, or doesn't care, and whether she is stupid or evil, that's something you know better than I do. But it's one or the other.

[twippedtronic]

The world is FULL of parents who didn’t want their kids and can’t stand to be around them. Imagine what society would be like if only people who loved their children as unique individuals had kids.

Sure there’d be a lot less population growth, but people would be so much nicer.

I just love The Mummy (1999) so much like I've always felt it was a masterpiece, I was never able to pinpoint the exact reason but I think I got it in my last rewatch: every single character is extremely competent in a very concrete, punctual and once-in-a-lifetime helpful skillset, and then they're ABSOLUTE DISASTERS on literally EVERY OTHER ASPECT of their lives. Evy can read and Sherlock her way through literally any egyptian riddle like she was born for it, but PLEASE, DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, leave ANY sharp objects, unstable structures or even-remotely inflamable objects ANYWHERE near her she WILL find a way to unleash HELL IN HER SLEEP. Rick can smash-parkour-swordfight his way out of any scenario but he has to have ALL neurons completely focused on the ONE (1) task at hand and if he gets out-DudeBroed he loses all his hit points his health meter goes red and he surprise-resets like a forced Windows update (see following scene for reference)

And don't even get me STARTED on Jonathan. This absolute gem of a man really is willing to let his sister drag him to hell and back with only mild complaining and will stop her human sacrifice ritual while the priest is mid-swing with an "hey Evy look we found the book!" with the same energy as if he was proudly announcing he found his long-lost car keys behind the couch but we DON'T blame him because he correctly spent his one braincell on THIS scene that changed the history of cinema forever:

In conclusion everyone is so very capable and so very pathetic at the same time and thus we have no choice but to stan

TADC EP 6: Sooooo

This is so heartbreakingly wholesome.... But also: This implies that Queenie abstracted long before anyone else ever entered the Circus. Ragatha was the 3rd behind Kinger and Queenie (If they count.) And so I have to wonder: How long was Kinger alone blaming himself for his wife's abstraction? How many years was it just him there, slowly losing his sanity while Caine watched helpless to do anything from lack of understanding human emotional trauma?

[twippedtronic]

There’s like a dozen abstracted creatures in the cellar. Was Kinger the last one from an entire starting group?
