it also made me very sad at one point one of the kids said her dad was being hateful towards drag queens and that he had a very skewed/incorrect view of what a drag queen was and wouldnt listen to her and told her she was “too naive” when she tried to explain
and i replied “if i remember correctly when youre at this age it seems adults will wave off any of your life experiences even if they lack their own because they refuse to see those younger than them as their own people” and EVERY SINGLE KID AT THE TABLE turned and said EXACTLY
and i was like. oh. so i wasnt alone in that. but also. i dont have to BE that. im not doing that. im listening and actually talking to them. i hope that there are older people in their life doing the same.
um. i dont know how to say. please listen to the children in your life. its true sometimes youll know better but, often times they have perspectives we may miss and dismissing them hurts everyone in the end. we have so much we can share and learn together.
au in which Mav and Ice are actually the best kept secret in the Navy to the point that, when Bradley starts to say they are his dad and pops and they love each other soo much nobody believes him and they all say he tone down his herowhorsipping thing because there must be a limit somewhere.
Keep seeing posts in solidarity with the WGA strike that say things like “no one cares about your favorite shows” and “fuck your tv show. I hope it gets canceled” and while I understand and agree with the underlying sentiment, which is clearly “Real people are more important than fictional ones, you dipshit” I don’t like the framing because, well, it feels shitty to dismiss the importance of the work made by the workers we’re trying to defend.
No one cares about your favorite shows more than the writers do.
No one understands the power and importance of tv and film more than the writers who created them.
No one loves tv, movies, games, and stories more than the people who fought tooth and nail in an incredibly competitive and underpaid profession for the chance to be part of it.
They know it’s important. They know it changes lives. They know it can be more than just a story, more than just a bit of entertainment. They’ve loved and respected this medium, continue to love and respect this medium, more than you ever will.
The person who wants a show to get canceled the least is the writer who poured their everything into making it good.
TV and movies are great, actually, and you are not wrong to be invested and care about them. That’s what the writers gave you. That’s what the writers wanted when they wrote it. That’s why they wrote it.
Which is why we respect them when they make the call that this strike and its demands are worth risking it.
The people on that picket line do not want their shows canceled. They want to keep writing them. They can’t, not under the current conditions.
So we accept the risk with them and support them.
But I don’t want to berate the power and importance of their work, the value they put into it and the love they have for it, in the same breath that I am defending their strike. Worthy shows will likely get canceled or derailed and that will be a tragedy worth mourning. The writers know that better than anyone.
So when they say something else is even more important, we listen. And when your favorite show gets ruined, you make sure your fully justified anger and grief is pointed in the right direction - at the CEOs who killed it.
Who gives a shit if Dennis is gay or bisexual, the only thing that matters is that he's an opportunist.
He whored himself out to make bank and I respect that.

PETER III and CATHERINE THE GREAT THE GREAT — 3x06: “Ice” (2023)
Ok, so I watched through Lucifer during quarantine, and here is what I don't understand: What the hell is up with Lucifer's accent? Literally every other divine being (that I can remember anyways) has an American accent—including Michael, who's identical to Lucifer in almost every other way—but not Lucifer. Instead, he's gallivanting all over the place in his verbal British glory. Like, it works, but what the heck? Anyway, I came up with two theories:
1. Everyone originally spoke all American-like in heaven, but Lucifer, in an act of rebellion, decided he liked the way Europeans talked and adopted an English accent for pure dramatic purposes. Pretty in-character, if I do say so myself.
2. Everyone originally spoke like Lucifer, but changed their accents whenever he was cast out, kind of like a big divine practical joke. I understand that this is way less likely, but I'm going to go with it because I find it hilarious.
i’m terribly sorry it’s so embarrassing to have gotten it so wrong. of course THIS is jamie roy and keeley when they start dating
One of my favorite things is that the top gun fandom unanimously agree that if Goose lived, having to deal with hangster aka icemav 2.0 might have killed him instead
