I always wonder why anyone's into All Might's 70s Superman comics looking ass. Then I remember he has huge tits
I don't think we as a fandom talk enough about how arthur actually desperately didn't want to be a prince
I consider myself a microinfluencer in the way I can get ten to fifteen people to consume a piece of media if I’m annoying enough about it
we seriously need to bring back the concept of “despite its flaws i still enjoy it” instead of ‘cancelling’ every fuckin thing in sight
anyway if dracula daily made you realize how great the book dracula is, please read jekyll and hyde, it's also extremely good. and the audiobook narrated by richard armitage is EXCELLENT.
Sometimes I do ship something and it's not unpopular its just that fanon harbors enough popular misconceptions to make the content frequently unreadable. So I will be like "can I have my ship please" and the internet will go "sure! here are a thousand results!" and I will go "is it actually my ship or is it some guys who are basically totally different characters in all meaningful ways that someone is having masquerade as my blorbos?" and the answer is yes often enough that I give up
See the thing about Eridan and Feferi is they are a bit like sharks and dolphins. One of them is a lovely little smiley creature that makes chittering noises and does tricks and is overall very anthropomorphizable, and the other is a big nasty biting thing that you wouldn’t want in your entourage. Meanwhile Feferi is a nice young lady with sentiments about social justice that appeal to Homestuck’s exclusively (as far as I know) non-Alternian audience and very adorable mannerisms, and the other one is Eridan.
But then expert scientists start taking a closer look at the two species and start to spot some discrepancies with the general idea of what they should be. It turns out dolphins do all kinds of nasty things (ie: premarital sex, stockbroking, pyromania) and sharks are actually big softies who wouldn’t hurt a fly when you aren’t dressed up as a seal or making sensationalist blockbuster movies about them.
Similarly, upon closer inspection you realize that maybe Feferi isn’t really all that nice or even necessarily respectful towards lowbloods (re: conversations with sollux, VrIska, Jade) and that Eridan, despite having adopted his worldview because it puts him in a socially acceptable position of power, might not buy into those ideas and isn’t quite so awful or as much of a lost cause as first impressions might have him seem (re: conversations with Karkat, Gamzee regarding Sollux, requests for faulty doomsday devices, etc).
So naturally you as the reader get very excited about all these developments and start wondering oh boy oh boy, where will the story push these characterizations next, given that it’s already managed to tell us so much with so little? Who will remain true to their ideology, and whose will crumble? And then Eridan goes and does that. Sad! Oh well, there’s other tools of a genocidal regime to unpack. Sometimes the shark really is just a big nasty biting thing, and there’s nothing sinister lurking beneath the dolphin’s adorable trick.
But you, understandably, are a little pissed off by all this. You were eager to see all the secret nice and nasty bits of these characters come to fruition, and as the reader you’ve been denied your delectable prize. Plus, it seems not everyone has caught on to how things could have gone. So in your analysis you push things a bit, maybe to bring them justice or to make things clearer. Dolphins are actually murderous rapists who delight in stealing candy from small children, while your average shark is on par with Mother Teresa. Feferi’s plans for societal rehabilitation were tantamount to genocide. Eridan Did Nothing Wrong. And so on.
However, it’s important to settle on a few things at the end of the day. Bits of nuance are usually intended to make characters more similar rather than push them further apart. It might be more helpful to see what those similarities are pointing to and analyze them on that basis. Eridan and Feferi are both troubled little soldiers of a fascist state positioned very close to its head. Similarly, when all’s said and done, sharks and dolphins are both large marine predators with very sharp teeth who humans would benefit from not getting close to.
Got inspired by scriblesandbits to draw more Erivris. I like the idea of them both being trans but I haven’t nailed down my transfem Eridan design yet….. (Unfinished Eridan Sketch Page below)
thumbs up is one of the most useful and versatile things that an autistic boy can have in his arsenal
Stephanie Meyer: Rosalie Hale killed her rapists one by one. Including her fiancée
Me now and at 13:

(i put some long ass tags oh my GOD)
that was snippy lol but you have honest to god got to get over the propaganda spoonfed to you about heroin and meth in particular. no they are not magic evil killers that instantly take over your brain like an invasive fungus no there is no such thing as any drug or medical intervention that is 100% risk free. you already know heroin and meth users they are members of your communities and social circles and societies not bogeymen from a childrens book. this kneejerk treatment of heroin and meth like they're uniquely addictive and dangerous and too awful to even be spoken is racialised & classed & it kills people. get over itttt
For the Mel defenders:
“Many question my motives. But their whispers do not define me” - I so love that they included this line in League.
While it’s tiring seeing Mel be constantly mischaracterized, that doesn’t erase the compelling and layered character that the writers crafted with her.
Kacchako is literally such a peak ship because what do you mean the MC's obvious love interest thinks Bakugou is funny? what do you mean someone with a personality as explosive at Bakugou's was the first to respect Ochako's abilities?? Ochako can read Bakugou like a book?? You're telling me she's the one who drew him shirtless in the fantasy AU?? They're literally the loves eating/loves cooking duo?? And he calls her pink cheeks??? THEY WERE NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE MANGA AS ADULTS???
'Charlie Bushnell is literally book!Percy😍'As if Leah Jeffries didn't play Mario Kart on Mount Olympus,get her face shoved into blue cake on her birthday by her besties,constantly does the best roasts and clocking,insulted Zeus at age 12,show up at her script reading pics in a blue hoodie,literally has Deluxe I'm Gonna Kill You Later Stares™️ and tons of other book!Percy vibes going.The insistence y'all have with making Percy Jackson into a Dude Bro Guy™️ is hilarious in how innacurate it is to me as a black autistic woman who's shared a personality with Percy their entire life,especially when you also call him not like other male protagonists at the same time you erase WHAT makes him an actual unconventional male mc.None of them 2010s yt boys are Percy-esque,Leah is.Also Luke is a cryptofash,get better taste
Max literally said in season 2 that billys “always been a dick but now he’s just angry” which implies that before Hawkins/whatever incident led to Hawkins, billy was just like annoying at best. Which is a typical emotion one feels for their sibling. So clearly shit wasn’t always dire. But now everyone wants to act like billy came out the womb a devil child like get the fuck out of here
ALSO I am thinking about how Sadie said she thought it was weird max was singing and laughing with her friends after her brother just died
“Bruce! They’re not coming!”
Bruce Wayne’s newest adoptive son shouts at him with worrying certainty, especially considering the turn this kidnapping incident has turned into. What, with the falling burning plane all around them.
“Superman can hear-“
“No, Bruce. That’s just some stupid marketing ploy the Justice league uses to deter crime.” Danny sighs bitterly, (tiredly, hopelessly) as his shoulders slump slightly.
trinity and whitaker in ten months
twelve episodes is nothing in this economy. bucchigiri deserved exactly thirty-nine episodes and a movie that toed the line between retelling and direct sequel to the original series
apparently there are people who think buck needed to be comforted after the last episode. not me tho. i think they should make him worse
iris by goo goo dolls really is insane though. I'd give up forever to touch you? you're the closest to heaven I'll ever be? all I can breathe is your life? and I don't want the world to see me cause I don't think they'd understand? when everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am? does anyone hear me.
