i... am... not... depressed!!! my telekinesis halfheartedly shoves a couple things around the room

Sometimes I'm just going about my day and then remember Helluva Boss exists.

It's so unique and refreshing after decades of Family Guy and Rick and Morty and the rest of those adult shows that use their status to play their adult jokes like they're still something taboo, like they're sneaking candy.

"Ooh, ooh we're not supposed to do this! Can you believe we're doing it??" They're proud of all their characters being rude narcissists who hate everyone, including their friends, kids, and partners. They're so excited to portray people who are are stagnant in their negative characteristics and have shows where the brightest things about them is their colors. They make light of mature concepts. The art styles are all bland and intended to be cranked out as fast as possible. Inexpressive and mass-produced. Jokes are lazy and bigoted and immature at best. No thought or effort is put in whatsoever.

Meanwhile Helluva Boss is on the other end of the spectrum. "Yeah, we're doing this, that's why we're here. If you're not going to at least try to engage you're gonna get bored." They're proud of showing multiple types of relationships and the varying aspects of them, especially when so many of those are positive, working towards being positive, or experiencing the consequences of characters' actions that might hurt them instead. They're excited to show the depth to these characters and how they affect each other and how brightness is not only something they can show visually but portray in the world too, even in a setting like hell. They occasionally make light of mature concepts, but only when they aren't the focus and have no bearing on the overall episode or character. Otherwise, heavy topics are respected and communicated with the expectation that the audience will treat them accordingly. The art style is expressive and takes time to animate - time and effort is put in. They give the middle finger to bigots and make the entire cast some form of character that would be ridiculed by others. There is an incredible amount of effort and thought put in to this project.

We have an adult animated show that unapologetically and enthusiastically shows queer people and queer relationships without implying that they're inherently bad, shows people who feel like outcasts or experience difficulties with life and are dealing with those, shows difficult and negative people who are developing and growing in real time. It expects its viewers to act like adults and doesn't try to take itself too seriously or too flippantly.

It's an exceptional relief that this show exists, I'm so excited to see it continue.

i’ve been crying a lot lately but this tweet made me giggle

just in case you wanted to be very sad

hmm yes floof

Kipen Manga  <Fairy tale of Cinderella>FACEBOOK

there are two types of children who come out of abusive homes. Sirius and Regulus are them, that’s why they are always at odds.

Sirius knows how precious sleep is, he can sleep anywhere anytime at the drop of a hat

Regulus can’t let himself sleep. Even safe and alone he feels so uncomfortable and can’t sleep until his eyes droop and he can’t fight anymore

Sirius’ rage turns hot and passionate, an angry fire blazing

Regulus’ rage turns cold and calculate, concentrated into fine points of cruelty

Sirius feels everything all too much, consuming all of him until he cannot feel himself anymore

Regulus feels so little that he cannot navigate his own emotions, and when he feels something strong it consumes every part of him

Sirius begs for contact and touch with everyone he knows, to confirm they are there, and to soothe him

Regulus’ skin pricks when he is touched, no matter how much he loves them. He can’t handle close proximity

Sirius hides his pain with a smile

Regulus hides behind dead eyes

and yet they are still, two scared and traumatised boys, hiding.

they hid in that house, and they hide now, with the people they love most.

because that’s the Black brothers. they hide.

because they don’t know how to be found.

but they’re begging

they are begging to be found.

Can confirm, I'm always bawling my eyes out at one point during any of her books

idk why people call Emily Henry’s books romcoms. They most certainly are not. Ain’t no comedy when those books hit in you in the mf gut 😂
