it’s always “i love you” and never “a few weeks ago you told me lane had a crush on me. well i have a crush on her too and i know you have very strict rules about dating and boys and i just want you to know that i’m a good person. i don’t smoke, i don’t drink, i’ve never gotten a ticket, i’m healthy, i take care of myself, i floss, i never watch more than thirty minutes of television partly because i think it’s a waste of time and partly because there’s nothing on, i respect my parents, i do well in school, i never play video games in case they do someday prove playing them can turn you into a serial killer, i don’t drink coffee, i don’t drink soda because the carbonation freaks me out, i’m happy to give up meat if you feel strongly about it, i don’t mind wearing a tie, i enjoy playing those hymns on my guitar, and i really really wanna take your daughter to her prom. mrs kim? please don’t make me repeat that list again.”
Ted Lasso, the character, is one of the only representations of 'sometimes getting better with your mental health issues means that you are less visibly happy, and that is okay, because you are not required to be happy in order to be loved' out there and I am really discouraged that so much of the audience is angry at that.
Regulus: Those of you praying for my downfall, please pray harder.
Regulus: Like let’s just wrap this shit up.

"james potter bullied snape!" and i've never been prouder of him. took one for the team, really.
Birds made a deal with the devil - they had no soul to give so in exchange for the gift of flight, they traded in their ability to give a fuck. You ever seen a bird give a fuck? A goose will fight a truck if the mood strikes. A pigeon can and will make a nest in a currently occupied owl nest. A wild parrot can fly right through your window just to rip the keys off your laptop purely for fun.
And ostriches then traded their flight for better speed to run you down and kick the shit out of you. There has never been a single bird in the history of birds who had one single fuck to give.
What Asian stereo type do you hear the most?
Personally I’ve got a Yamaha surround sound system.
The problem is that people no longer want to analyze what they watch, they want everything explained to them, they want it on the nose, if it is not specifically stated in show then it does not exist.
I read comments like "implied doesn't mean it's canon" Geez the writers are implying things just for funsies I guess.
That's why some don't think Billy was racist, because it's not directly stated in the show, it's implied but "not" canon.
I remember this post on Tumblr talking about how Joyce handmade Will's costume because unlike the other families they don't have the financial solvency to afford the costumes and they posted the image of Joyce sewing Will's costume (a scene we had with just her and not the other moms) and there were full of comments of "it was the 80s all the moms surely handmade their kids costumes" "I don't think it has to do with money but more to do with it was much harder to get costumes back then".
Op had to put out an article about it where the costumer confirmed this.
Like you're seeing that Will's costume was different from everyone else's, slightly different color, less detail + it's established that in the show that the Byers don't have too much money + you have a specific scene where it shows Joyce sewing her son's costume and not with any of the other moms but you still refuse to accept the implications of this? Okay...
Or people who deny that Will and El are close, that they have a special bond.
Or people who continue to deny Will's importance with the supernatural plot even after all the similarities between Will and Henry.
People who simply dismiss the possibility of Will having powers because "there isn't enough evidence" but if you show them why it would make sense they tell you "that's just a plot hole".
People denying with all their might that Will was gay even after the line "it's not my fault you like girls."
I find this equally sad and annoying, because it's not that they just don't get to notice these things, that's perfectly fine and understandable, it can happen to anyone! It's that they simply close themselves off to the idea.
Critical media analysis is dying.
