So I’m rewatching the Mandalorian and can I just say that even from episode 1 din is just such a dramatic bitch? Like, there was no need to wait until Horatio had gone downstairs and was looking at of all the other dudes submerged in carbonite that had been Din’s bounties. Din could have straight up just shoved him in but he chose not to and like, he’s just so iconic?
I find it ironic that Jason calls Tim replacement when he’s the og replacement.
Finally started reading Eden’s Zero and can now say with the utmost certainty that Rebecca has something that Lucy should have had all along... Fucking guns. You do not understand the sense of euphoria I got from watching her pull out some guns and just shoot some motherfuckers. Like, it was almost therapeutic.
-Warning!- mentions of rape
Anywho, so I know I’m far from the first person to think that Maleficent’s wings were probably an allegory for purity or whatever. But last night I was thinking, if we apply that lens to the entire movie, then it suddenly becomes a far less wholesome story, and not just because of the rape elements.
Because here’s the thing, Stefan drugs Maleficent and takes her wings while she’s sleeping (ie. raping her) and then she wakes up and finds out what happens when he’s already long gone.
If we continue then by that logic then Maleficent becomes the scorned woman, evil and mad. This paints a pretty awful image already of what they might have been trying to say. For example, Maleficent was good until she lost her virginity (aka her purity), then she became evil.
And if we continue further, it gets a lot worse. Because the only reason Maleficent becomes good again is due to her maternal feelings towards Aurora. And like, one of the only reasons that women aren't demonized for having sex (willing or otherwise) is when it’s done for the purpose of reproduction.
So technically, Maleficent only gains her wings back because she gains her purity the only way a woman who’s no longer a virgin can, by becoming a mother.
Note, I do not like the way the movie is read if we apply this lens at all.
Yoooo, I still can't believe that they technically made Sasuke and Naruto soul siblings or some shit just to get the shippers to back off, and then it didn't work.
1. Yawn with one eye open at least, you don't know when your sibling will get uppity and put their finger in your mouth like the utter heathen they are.
2. Walk with your ass covered. Vigilance is your friend and your sibling is your enemy. Your sibling will take every chance they have to kick you right between your ass cheeks.
3. Steal their charger. You could steal other things too but nothing causes as much outrage as stealing the continued lifeblood of their phone.
4. Accept the reality that your sibling’s friends are trash and will always be trash in your mind.
5. Fighting to first blood. Body slamming your sibling to the ground is something you learn to do early on.
To be perfectly honest, I really wish Rey had been like, Obi-Wan’s granddaughter or something purely because of the potential fights Anakin and him would have gotten into because of it.
Like, it could range anywhere from “my grandchild is better then your grandchild!” To “so no attachments huh?”
Just, imagine how salty ghost Anakin would be.
We were robbed goddamnit.
I started reading Naruto fanfiction again and the words “ya know” have been violently re-added to my vocabulary.
To be completely honest one of the things I was most devastated about with Damian Wayne’s whole new consume and identity is the lack of stylish boots. Like, 12 year old me saw those boots and thought “yeah those are lit” and you know what? 12 year old me was right, those boots were, in fact, “lit”
But now I’m looking at his new consume and all I can think is that would be such an easier transition if they left the boots. They were fashionable as fuck and it’s a true travesty they’re gone.
I love Chinese bl novels because the main character will always be like, “I’m a straight male who has never had a single homosexual thought ever”
And then like not even five months later they’ll be giving out a blowjob “purely for science” like that’s a completely normal and heterosexual thing to do.
Like, I’m currently reading a transmigration novel where the mc is like, “I’m so straight,” but then his first solution to a problem that he’s having where someone is spying on him to ruin his reputation is to have a phone call in front on the spy about having an affair, go out and buy sexy lingerie, invite his “husband” to a night in a hotel, and then wait for the chaos.
My brother in Christ, what part of you felt like that was the heterosexual thing to do??
Question, could Injustice Superman just be considered a shittier version of Light Yagami?
