Oh My God This Looks Amazing

Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.

This is the most chaotic good thing I’ve ever seen

Idk, a spin-off seems unnecessary

A Breaking Bad spinoff starring Bob Odenkirk’s character Saul Goodman is in the works.

I have a few points to add to this:

-Yes, some parts of Palestine are homophobic. But it's only a few, very select places.

-Those places are only homophobic because of what the British implemented when Palestine was under British rule.

-Queer Palestinians happen to exist in and outside of Palestine, in case some people forgot.

-A few places being homophobic is no reason to assume that all Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, etc. are terrible people and deserve to be involved in a genocide. That's just as bad as homophobia in my opinion.

-The argument "Palestinians are homophobic they deserve to be bombed!!" Is not only stupid but extremely harmful and straight up murderous.

-All of the Palestinian people I have interacted with throughout my life have been some of the most accepting and the kindest people I have ever met.

-If you're mad that very few places in Palestine are homophobic, then you should fucking hate America.

There are amazing articles about this exact topic I highly recommend looking up and reading, whether you believe that stupid argument or not. Anyways, as a queer, free Palestine.

I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.

Thanks To Them text posts part 1 because I have so many more

THIS

Hunter isn't my favorite (he's a cool character with cool development, I'm just drawn to other characters more) but I absolutely LOVE the portrayal of abuse and trauma through him and how it's handled so well and so realistically. I absolutely adore realism, especially in cartoons (especially kids cartoons like it's great man) and I just love how real all of it feels. His reactions are nothing less than understandable and even if you don't relate to what he's going through you can understand. And the fact that he's a fictional character too and yet feels so realistic. This applies to so many cartoon characters, especially the characters on TOH, but Hunter is one of the best examples.

Even if you don't personally like Hunter, we can not ignore how realistic the representation of abuse, trauma response, etc. is when it comes to Hunter. As someone who is a victim of abuse, gaslighting, etc. and was also semi sheltered growing up, Hunter's demeanor and way of thinking is spot on (at least from my experience. it's important to note that one abuse experience isn't universal. This is why I think it's amazing that owl house has three different abuse victims).

It feels validating to have that shown on screen and not taunted or even done away with the next episode. Also appreciate the accurate representation of panic attacks

Thanks To Them text posts part 3 and this is it

Amphibia Season 3 Thoughts/Review

Season 3 of Amphibia is easily the most divisive season among the fanbase. There are a lot of different reasons for this but I think it primarily comes down to tone and pacing.

The reason why the issues with tone and pacing are so prominent is because of how it followed up True Colors. True Colors came in and seemed to promise that things would never be the same. It created a scenario for Anne and the Plantars that was very desperate. Sasha was left in Amphibia, Marcy had been stabbed (and for all they knew was dead), Amphibia was in imminent danger, and earth was going to be invaded next.

All of this should have created a massive sense of urgency and worry, but this doesn’t carry over very well into many of the episodes. The tonal whiplash that occurs when you watch True Colors and The New Normal back to back is massive. It goes from that gut punch of an ending to Anne being excited that she has wifi for the first time in months so quickly that it’s almost as if the characters forgot what happened.

When the show does address the sense of urgency the characters should have it is always on Anne’s end. Anne is the one staying up researching how to get back, Anne is the one trying to drop everything for new leads, Anne is the one losing sleep over the situation. The most the Plantars show on their end is homesickness. 

They are frequently the ones telling Anne to be careful or calm down which seems odd because they should have very pressing and important reasons for wanting to get back beyond missing their home.

In season 2 the heroes’ lack of urgency made sense. They didn’t know about Andrias’ plans, the core, or Sasha’s toad rebellion. The episodes where they explored Newtopia or visited towns on their travels fit much better because of their gap in knowledge and like I said previously those episodes usually found a way to keep the story moving forward or have important character moments so that they rarely distracted from the plot.

In season 3 there’s too much hanging over the characters’ heads that they know about for it to feel organic watching the episodes back to back. 

This isn’t to say that what happens on the earth half of the season is bad. The content is actually very enjoyable. Watching the role reversal between Anne and the Plantars is fun and we get to see even more of Anne’s culture and home life which is always a welcome addition.

The exploration of Anne’s family and culture is one of the best things about the first half of the season. The Thai Temple episode (Temple Frogs) in particular is one of my favorites. 

It has Anne displaying the urgency that some episodes were missing while also addressing how Anne’s parents struggled during her time away and how their community kept them afloat. This strikes a balance that makes almost everything that happens feel important on an emotional level without losing sight of what this half of the season is building towards.
