It's time for the sebaciel renaissance when the new season drops ✨
I just want to thank wakanda forever for reigniting my violent hatred for the spanish empire.
and while we're on the subject of colonization: everyone's always talking about the british but let's not forget the spanish, french, portuguese, dutch, and belgians also fucked up multiple continents, wiped out multiple cultures and languages, and enslaved natives all over the world.
JUST LETTING Y'ALL KNOW WHERE THIS BLOG STANDS.
Did you watch the episode or are you just saying shit to say shit? Cause it's very clear that that the first half of that episode of tales of the jedi take place before season 2 and the other half takes place after season 2. And it was obviously more than once that Anakin drilled her like that. They are saying she survived because of what Anakin taught her
The entire episode of Brain Invaders, in which Ahsoka is forced to hide, evade, problem solve under intense pressure, find a way to call for help, not know who she could trust, wrestle with the knowledge that she might have to go down with the ship in order to fix this problem, and ACTUALLY FIGHT CLONES UNDER REALISTIC CIRCUMSTANCES: *is right there, has been since season two*
TotJ: “She survived because of this one time Anakin drilled her to stand still and deflect blaster bolts.”
Remember remember the fifth of November, Destiel became canon and to Tumblr we all flocked, for there is a reason why spngate, the rogue translators and the cw going bust should ne'er be forgot...
not writing, not not writing, but a secret third thing
Just in case - All RT content on this site - This link goes to the RWBY content... Please reblog this so everyone knows about it...
Beetlejuice has literally been stalking Lydia for years. He's intentionally off-putting and gross. He openly enjoys freaking her out. It's his way of showing affection. He's like a horror Pepe Le Pew.
They refer to him as being a demon at least 3 times in BJBJ, as well as the fact that he had a satanic first wedding and cannot make the sign of the cross without setting himself on fire. He's evil. Funny, and sometimes helpful, but still evil. Doesn't mean he can't fall in love.
No, movie Lydia isn't into him. Why would she be? He's always terrorizing her and trying to coerce her into marriage, presumably for selfish reasons. Plus he's covered in bugs and spews guts and fluids wherever he goes. But that doesn't mean that they can't both change eventually. Hell, it's still a better love story than Twilight or (gag) Rory/Lydia.
So there is no "Is this particular scenario okay and not problematic?" with Beetlejuice. You're either on board with him being a literal monster, or you're not. You have to acknowledge it, accept it, and still be into it to be a Beetlebabe who isn't trying to make BJ into something nicer and cleaner than he is. We like it because monsters and goth girls are fun, not because it's in any way related to real life. Beetlejuice is about as far away from real life as you can get.
Sometimes you need a break from reality, morality, and acceptability. It's healthy to take a break from all that societal pressure. The reason horror and subversive comedy is popular is because it gives us some much needed freedom from the limited ways we're always expected to feel and behave.

since people are forgetting
This is what I was talking about.
This is exactly why the whole "Queer characters can only be played by queer actors" argument, or the queerbaiting celebrities argument is not only unhelpful, it is actively harmful. You are not entitled to other peoples identity. You are forcing people to come out in order to protect their careers, when they may not have wanted to share that with the world. Real people can not queerbait. Real people can not be bad representations of themselves. Do not conflate how you treat fictional characters with how you are allowed to treat real people. We can not keep having the same conversation. Forcing people to come out or else face social consequences is Bad. Always. Everytime.
In this case, Kit is literally a teenager who has been facing overwhelming amounts of online abuse for not being open about his personal identity.
Im seeing it with other queer media too. With nicholas galitzin and taylor zakhar perez in the red white & royal blue movie, people demanding that they should have been recast with "actual queer actors" despite the fact that we do not know if they are or are not queer. We can never know until they tell us that they are, which they have not.
Im also seeing it with young royals. With the new season coming out later today, the speculation on omar and edvins sexuality and relationship is incredibly harmful and toxic. They are real people, please treat them like people instead of fictional characters you can write rambling, speculating paragraphs about.
I'll say it one more time.
well you can read so (I have a writing blog on here check it out @rwritingblog)
