Melanie King Defense Squad CEO

21. she/her. so incredibly normal about the magnus archives I promise. 🇺🇦🇵🇸

[gender-luster]

episodes that i think every tv show should have:

timeloop

whodunit

musical

beach trip

random genre change (especially if it's to a noir detective thing)

one where they get randomly meta and fourth wall breaky but then never acknowledge it again

one where something happened but we as the audience don't actually get to see how it happened and only see it through the unreliable narrated flashbacks as recollected by the characters

there's always Something going on

my normal regular coworker told me last week that she didn’t know it was possible that two men could do missionary together until she watched heated rivalry and then then today she told me about how she spent her weekend trying to convince her boyfriend to kiss other guys at a party. there is hope for the art of fujoshing

Had a dream that markiplier was struck by lightning and imbued with electrical abilities. People were encouraging him to use his powers for good but he just went back to playing videogames. All the videos were about three minutes long because as soon as he got jumpscared there'd be a brilliant blue flash and he'd fry his computer.

no offense but….kindness and being polite is really underrated some of y’all are so unnecessarily mean and i dont understand why

[watermelon-jollyranchers]

you're the only person who properly loves and respects melanie the way she deserves and I wish more people loved her the way you do :(

thank you so much beloved moot <3

fortunately on tumblr at least there seems to be much more melanie love, but on other sites.... yeah its rough out here (if r/themagnusarchives has zero haters I am DEAD). its probably part of the reason why I was initially so drawn to her tbh. like whenever there's a female character whos #controversial within the general fandom (especially if its for acting in a perfectly understandable way, or literally doing the same exact shit as the male characters), my natural instinct is just to be like "ACTUALLY she did nothing wrong and you're all losers sorry <3"

Normalize saying “I don’t know enough to have an opinion.”

[ghsot]

everyones got that fic they chip away at like michaelangelo sculpting david. and brother? its penis month

[ghsot]

asked my friends if they knew what i was referencing and they said no. we all know that post where someone divided how long it took michelangelo to sculpt david by it's size and went "yuuuuup. whole month spent on penis" right. sure, my search history is full variations upon "michelangelo penis month tumblr" to no avail, but we all know it. right.

“find something to eat” is such a true phrase you really do have to find it

Woooo! Wobbegong Wednesday! Look at her go! Swimming up your dashboard!

(some guy on the internet voice) it's so unrealistic and forced when women win fights against men in stories. of course, when a young boy defeats a huge man I'm cheering and screaming because it is so badass, and when a frail old man defeats a cocky young warrior I feel nothing but satisfaction. I love these power fantasies about easily dispatching people who underestimate you, a thing I desire despite the fact that I will likely never have the skill to achieve it in real life, but I'm pretty sure women don't have that same desire, and even if they do, they shouldn't get to see it in media. because it's so unrealistic, you see. I mean I'm smart enough to know I can't take down a big man in a fight but the women, you know, they'll get ideas. I could probably do it if I trained hard enough, but the women??? for some reason I can't see it happening, and who can say why that is.

Not every story is about seeing yourself in it. Sometimes it’s about learning to see other people too.

@tearyeyedcat this was beautifully written, thank you for adding it!

Another excuse for me to post Head Writer of ATLA Aaron Ehasz’s great characters board:

[exeggcute]

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine
