Iwtv + Text Post Part 56

in this essay, i will explain why queer people are obsessed with goth couples that are infatuated with each other & how they are the standard

Had to reblog this entire interaction because it’s so funny. As someone who didn’t mind the whole Frozen thing - although was admittedly a bit tired of it by the time Merida rolled around, and very sick of it when the whole Aladdin thing happened - I find it very funny how ridiculous the show was in hindsight.

Despite this, I’ll never complain about more Enchanted Forest Rumple - he’s so much more fun than regular Rumple, and the writers hadn’t given up on him in the same way that they had Mr Gold. I love his silly impish mannerisms, the way he cackles, his weird crimped hair and ‘disco lizard’ appearance. I also prefer Enchanted forest Rumbelle, because it wasn’t so toxic, and Belle (despite being his servant) seemed to be closer to an equal. If I were Belle, I would be so mad that the fun, mischievous man I fell in love with had been replaced with a boring guy who is sneaky but in a not fun way. Maybe I’m just looking at the enchanted forest with rose tinted glasses, but eh.

"the disneyfication of ouat ruined the show". i hear you. i wholeheartedly agree with you. but consider that if it had been ANY less disneyfied by even a fraction, we would have been met with the very awful plotline that is rumpelstiltskin being the troll that anna's parents went to when elsa hit her with the ice magic and kristoff consequently would have been raised by rumpelstiltskin as a weird pseudo-son replacement of baelfire

I’ve reblogged the Black butler characters, and now I reblog the Gotham characters - do you see that I am easily amused?

No joke, these are so accurate.

It’s nice to see some of the smaller, season 1 era characters, like Gertrude - I often get caught up in the season 4-5 section, especially with the whole Jerome and Jeremiah thing. Am currently rewatching season 2 on TV (because it’s airing on TV for some reason), and I forget how much I love this show!

silly thingy for pride month hehe :3

"The domino scene, where V tips over black and red dominoes to form a giant letter V, involved 22,000 dominoes. It took four professional domino assemblers 200 hours to set it up." V For Vendetta (2005) dir. James McTeigue

I agree. I love Hordak, but can accept that he did terrible things and should help rebuild what he destroyed - eg. assist with Beast Island like in canon.

What I cannot stand is when people let Catra get off scott-free because of her trauma, only to damn Hordak for the same reasons! If Hordak goes free, then of course so does Catra - that’s fair. But if Catra is immediately accepted into the rebellion with only a couple of glares, but Hordak supposedly deserves to burn in Etherian Hell, you have a case of favouritism.

I don’t even hate Catra! I can enjoy her quips and believe her to be fun. But I do draw the line at calling her a ‘girlboss’ when she exploits his disabilities while she manipulates him. While this is typical villain behaviour, no one seems to be able to critique her actions while liking her - she’s a traumatised child (unless she’s being hot, in which case she’s most certainly an adult), incapable of intentionally causing harm, no matter how gleefully she does it.

The fact that the writers take Hordak’s trauma and give it to Catra to illustrate its horrific consequences - which Catra fans will use to enable her - while condemning Hordak, is so very frustrating.

It is a bizarre way to view the show, considering how similar the two characters are.

Starting from now on, everytime someone says they can’t forgive Hordak and his background is no excuse, I will be like

“Oh so you think Catra has to suffer for her crimes too, right?”

Or even “Oh so you must want Catra to apologize for the things she said while chipped, right?”

Because I still can’t believe there are people in the fandom who completely excuse Catra’s actions but the moment Hordak does the same thing he has to suffer and doesn’t deserve redemption.

hey when you make posts, i just want you to know, thou/thee/thy/thine/ye are like he/you(object)/your/yours/you(subject) okay? "thou art wearing shoes," "i will wear shoes for thee," okay?

you say thine if the next word starts with a vowel and thy if the next word starts with a consonant and they both mean "your" so "thine own shoes," "thy shoes," okay?

and ye means you and refers to the subject of a sentence, "ye members of the brotherhood of shoes," okay? you need this information to create better knight yaoi. i'm personally more interested in nun yuri but we are a community

Fascinated by the decision to give the blind man a white cane in the 19th century. Just in case the reflective glasses and the way he clearly couldn’t see anything on screen in front of him wasn’t enough.

Big fan of the foggy/grainy exposure on the nighttime outside scenes.

Also very impressed by Mrs Hyde’s impromptu dress making skills from a curtain.

Not to mention, Jekyll’s intense joy at transforming himself into Mrs Hyde and delighting in her femininity and being horrified by the re-growth of his masculine body hair.

“I was caught in a terrible trap. To continue my work I needed Sister Hyde yet all the time I became more and more aware of her growing dominance within me, a dominance I no longer had the strength to fight, contain or control.”

Jekyll is inventing HRT

Exactly. Regina just didn’t give him a first name. Gold has no friends, and is only a landlord, so she didn’t think he’d need one.

Sorry I didn't get this posted on the 12th, I was having a lot of computer issues and wasn't able to be around as much as I wanted to be. Have it now (as well as a bonus Neal one) as a Valentine's Day treat!

Happy day of Trans Visibility!!!

ITS HER DAY!!!
