Moments From Good Mythical Evening That Are Fun For The Whole Family

I love when Gmm does purposeful gifticalify ( rhett does this quite a bit but I just picked the times when it was very obvious haha) 🥺💕

who had "rhett and link call out youtube for gay censorship" on their 2021 bingo card because i sure didn't

Shaniac or not, I would be pissing my pants at any of those locations not just because of ghosts but the uncanny valley nature of being somewhere once full of people that is now abandoned.

ULTIMATE HISTORICAL FIGURE OF TUMBLR DOT COM!!!

I think it’s fascinating how the time and social context a piece of media is released in can drastically change what an audience takes from it.

When Hamilton was first released in the mid 2010s, I don’t remember seeing any sort of criticism of it. It was near universally beloved (to my recollection). But when the Hamilton movie was released on Disney+ during the BLM movement, then we started to have conversations about celebrating slave owners and if racially blind casting actually makes it “woke”.

Rian has said he intended Miles Bron to be a stand in for Mark Zuckerberg. But in 2022/3, as we watch supposed genius Elon Musk destroy Twitter and throw a temper tantrum, we see him instead.

No story’s message is universal, nor is it static. Every person, every time period, with their own values, life experiences, priorities, will read it in a different way. And as our societies change and evolve, so will our interpretations of older books, movies, musicals, tv shows, and more.

i just spoke with thomas jefferson and he says he wears an among us binder now

I walk the line of disliking the musical Hamilton (don’t like Lin Manuel Miranda, American propaganda, too spectacle for my taste…) and rewatching it to satisfy my Hamilton craving.

I’m a proud American for 2 1/2 hours once a year.

I can feel the fandom rising from the dead... the tag is full once more.....

To the surprise of absolutely no one, I was left screaming and crying on the floor over Floor.

What’s special about guardians of the galaxy as well is I think it manages to walk the fine line of having death be present and something that could very much happen to our main characters but also choosing to keep them all alive at the end of the trilogy. Not only is it nice to see finished arcs but I’ve never once felt as if the stakes were not high in these films and could not result in a main character death. James Gunn does a good job at showing he isn’t afraid to go there with what happened with Yondu at the end of gotg 2 (and providing a very meaningful death to him beneficial to his arc) and to an extension even shows this with rockets friends (lyla teeths floor) in the third film. I 100% felt as if multiple guardians would die I’m this film and whilst it did come close everyone made it out okay! This is a change from what we see in previous media where the line has pushed to one side too much where it can get annoyingly repetitive and boring because there is no tension or, death can happen too frequently that it’s a joke.

(cw for gotg3 spoilers)

Them: GOTG3 is tragic and nuanced because Peter finally had the growth to accept that he had to fall out of love with a woman who was dead, and Gamora 2.0 found her own perfect family all by herself. Drax was seen as a valued member of the team and we finally understand Groot because we’ve spent enough time with him that we hear what he’s actually saying and—

Me, sobbing violently: BABY RACCOONS WITH BABY RACCOON HANds

So… How is you day?

Lylla: *Chooses a nice, pretty name for herself, recognizing that she is beautiful despite being subjected to the High Evolutionary’s cruel experiments and body modifications*

Rocket: *Names himself after an object that represents a hopeful future for himself and his friends*

Floor and Teefs: “Yeah, I just looked around and decided to name myself after the first thing I saw”

May I also add:

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 spoilers without context

I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet. Towards the end of Guardians vol 3, when Rocket sees Lilah, Teefs, and Floor again, they're not "whole." All four of them still have their enhancements. To me, this detail is so important.

As disabled people, we have a history of being told that, when we die, when we go to heaven, all of our illnesses, deformities, ways of being in the world will be gone. We will be cured. But for many of us, we don't want to be cured. If there is an afterlife, and I'm not autistic, I wouldn't even know the first thing about how I would exist as that. More importantly, I wouldn't be myself.

Like disabled people, Rocket, Lilah, Teefs, and Floor didn't get to choose their existence, their bodies, their minds. They were made that way and, very realistically, could not imagine being any other way, despite their pain and suffering. Even in most modern media, disability is a plot device that, when its purpose has been served, gets cured or written out of the narrative. Having all four of them being disabled in the afterlife is so goddamned important.
