Seeing people talk about Ken being a metaphor for little boys who grew up to be porn obsessed, objectifying teenagers who then grew up to be misogynistic, angry men in power who you will always miss as the innocent little boys they once were whilst they don’t notice a single thing about their progression hits so much harder when those little boys weren’t just your playground friends but your older or younger brothers who grew in the same house that you did, experienced so much of what you did, lived by your side for years only to still become those men.
And it sucks cause you blame yourself for not noticing, for not having a bigger impact, for missing the times that you could’ve changed something but it’s not ever actually your fault because you were just a little girl too and you were too busy playing with your dolls or texting your friends, just going through your girlhood to ever notice their change.
But even if we did notice, would it have mattered? Because shouldn’t having a sister be enough for them? Shouldn’t that be enough for them to understand? Even in the slightest?
Shouldn’t having a mother be enough?

there's something about Bev that I can't fully articulate because I'm still ~in the throes~ of just having finished Midnight Mass, but the way her character captures the exact passive agressive, racist, holier-than-thou white woman who twists the gospel to fit her own picture of herself as a deserving martyr, while she is in fact leveraging what little power she derives from her subservience to a patriarchal institution is just so

before multiverse of madness comes out and disney officially rubs their dirty little rat paws all over the x men I want everyone to know that charles and erik are 99% canon. not only has james mcavoy said on multiple occasions that it’s a love story, but their final scene together was erik asking charles to move in with him over coffee & chess at a cafe called the old friends on a road called peace street in the city of love. that’s all thanks
1. So fucking glad that they are having GG be a group project and not one individual and even though i think adults preying on children's privacy is disgusting (as gossip itself always has been), it's at least an interesting set up. Interested to see how the teacher dynamics will change the GG account as it goes though
2. NATE ARCHIBALD AS AN EXAMPLE OF BEST STUDENT?? someone who wrote this loves @rainathorpe and I personally
3. Poly ship poly ship poly ship
"it's different with you and aki"
"in a good way?"
"in the best way"
AND THEN
"you know you can think of him"
4. Julien and Zoya were so cute at first, I wish they had paced out that friendship throughout the season, but I'm also SO glad they didn't pull a Julien/Obi/Zoya cheating arc
5. I love the sound of Kristen Bell's voice
6. Zoya's dad is cute and it's interesting that he also has a unresolved relationship with the UES like Rufus even if not romantic
7. Super glad the power balance of the main trio isn't minions. Luna is shown to be an actual stylist, Monet is the one bossing Julien half the time as an actual manager, and Julien might be the influence but she's also a face. Which, the whole influencer thing is interesting in its own right
8. Max and his family of gays!!
9. Monet sitting like a queen in front of her throne!
10. Aki and his references 👌 I love this kid even more than I thought i might
11. Obi is a little annoying, but that's bc i don't want a rich white savior kid moralizing out of guilt with my trashy teen soaps lol. I don't think they had to go quite that hard to connect him with Zoya but whatever lol it's only the pilot
12. Also very unhappy with how the teachers dubbed the darkest-skinned character Monet "the villain", like bitch please.
13. I'm looking forward to actually getting to see Audrey's relationship with Julien, it was definitely overshadowed by Audrey's sex scenes they needed the promos for apparently
((that being said, it was nice to see the gender reversal of the typical standing male gratification sex scene))
14. this is something so tiny only i will care but i do love that they finally addressed campus roaming privileges even if in one sentence
AND LAST but... the digs at headbands, at chuck/blair being pre-cancel culture, and the former student now teacher being accused of being gossip girl were great
some of my favorite spooky ladies + flowers and bouquets 🌹💐
