What if Double Life was an RPG?
this was so fucking stupid
To all my non-minecraft youtube followers if you retain one bit of information based on my posts please let it be the fact that kakashi from naruto and shrek from shrek are canonically soulmates in the minecraft cinematic universe and they are currently going through a divorce
I love how inherently selfish both Glinda AND Elphaba are as protagonists. But where one gets praised and admired for it, the other gets demonised and hated.
People always attack Glinda’s decision not to runaway with Elphaba, but no one acknowledges how overtly selfish it is to ask that of someone.
although what Elphaba is asking of her is noble on paper, in practice it’s an incredibly selfish position to put Glinda in. By asking Glinda to stand with her in solidarity she is also asking Glinda to be ostracised and hated all throughout Oz when she knows full well how much being liked means’s to Glinda.
This traps Glinda is a lose-lose situation. If she agrees she loses everything, her family, friends, and future. If she refuses she is being complicit in injustice.
but on the other hand It’s a more selfish decision to refuse Elphaba request. To perpetuate corrupt beliefs you don’t believe; in order to be accepted and validated by people in power.
Although one of the options seems more ethically right, it is at the same time individually devastating. The conscious choice to willing ruin your life for things you believe in is a choice that only the strongest people can make. And we shouldn’t shame people when they choose themselves over ideals, because self preservation isn’t a thing to be ashamed of.
They’re BOTH in the wrong, for entirely different reasons. It was an impossible situation with no right answer. And thats why the scene works, neither is right or wrong. I’m sick of people acting like Glinda made the “ wrong choice ” as if they would go ruin their lives for their ideals.
i love when scar and joe hang out. they're the epitome of *talks a lot* *listens*, they just trade off who the one talking a lot is depending on whether they're talking about theme parks or pinball machines.
you're so silly Grian!

The Owl House was cancelled
That is something you guys need to remember. This show was cancelled. There was so much content that we were supposed to get but didn't because a few Disney execs decided that their best show since Gravity Falls wasn’t good enough to keep on their platform.
You have to understand, Dana didn't want this. We were supposed to have more. We were supposed to see how Hooty and Eda met, Caleb when he was alive, Darius's mentor, the Hagside kids, Manny, more Gus centered episodes, the Bat Queen's holder, more of Raine and Eda's relationship, etc.
But because only a few Disney execs decided that this show was too gay… oh, sorry “wasn't their brand'' they cancelled it.
You absolutely have the right to be mad. But do not direct that hatred to Dana or The Owl House. Disney is your enemy.
Stepping outside the bit for a moment, it does make me genuinely sad that so many people don’t know about Cecil or Welcome to Night Vale, and not in a like nostalgia way, in a “dear god all of these queer teens are missing out on a core part of our media history and that’s awful” kind of way.
Like I am not lying, Welcome to Night Vale really was fucking groundbreaking queer representation that was, and still is, widely loved FOR A REASON!! If you legit have never heard of it, please give it a listen!! It’s a stellar, diverse podcast full of heartfelt moments and fantastic humor and good ol’ horror that’s made me cry and laugh and helped me get to sleep when I’ve been having horrible anxiety more times than I can count, and on top of that I will never be able to describe how, in 2012 when all of the big mlm ships on tumblr were us cringey little queer teens desperately praying for something deep down we really thought we’d never get, breathtakingly refreshing it was to listen to the FIRST EPISODE and hear Cecil openly admit to being in love with another man like it was the most normal thing in the entire world. It was everything, it really was.
Yeah, Cecil got sexy-maned all to hell and we can look back on that fondly and critically, but Welcome to Night Vale was to podcasts what Korrasami and the Ruby/Sapphire wedding were to cartoons and the absolutely dismissive tone a lot of people are using when talking about it breaks my heart. This isn’t just about remembering our sexyman roots, it’s about remembering and loving a revolutionary piece of queer media that was REALLY POPULAR like it was on fucking NPR, sold out shows, best selling books, the works!! Welcome to Night Vale changed the landscape of queer media, proved in it’s own corner that stuff with queer people in it COULD sell and find wide audiences! Like this was coming out back when fucking Glee was the standard for gay rep, I’m not kidding, Night Vale was everything.
It was, and is, loved for a reason. Cecil is winning on tumblr FOR A REASON. You deserve to find out why.
(And also just like, most Reigen fans on this website HC Reigen as queer and ship him with Serizawa and so, y’all please, trust me, if you love serirei then boy do I have a fantastic queer couple for you. You want silly himbo paranormal husband shenanigans? I can give them to you. Pls come with me. You’ll like this, I promise.)
