I hate family vloggers so much imagine having this little respect for your adolescent kid’s privacy and personal life

I'm still in love with Barbie Swan Lake 15 years later, so I would cry if they did that

No one:

Absolutely no one:

Me: What if there was a Distractible episode where Mark, Bob and Wade had watched some Barbie movies (probably the classic early 2000s ones) and give us their hot takes constructive intellectual analysis of these cinematic masterpieces

sometimes i forget im such a big felix fan until i see 0.2 seconds of content about him and i go apeshit

Hey can we queers please remember that the rural queer experience has unique challenges thanks

This episode is before sublimation, btw

But, still crazy they're putting a very ~villanous~ bgm over another "love rival"

NGL the number of people who use "Adrien's happiness" as an excuse to shield Marinette from the consequences of her abuse apologism is more than One and that's one too many.

So here it is: happiness based on a lie is just that.

A.

Freaking.

Lie.

Adrien isn't going to be happy. Toxic positivity isn't happiness.

Dampening your emotions for someone else's comfort isn't happiness.

Pretending your girlfriend being a flake and a stalker is Fine Actually because obviously nothing could ever be her fault ISN'T happiness.

Having to listen to your friends/partner talk about how much of a hero your dead abuser was ISN'T happiness.

It's not about Adrien being freaking happy what kinda shallow, infantilizing nonsense is that.

It's about Adrien having Autonomy.

giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.

I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.
