Folks have got to understand that they probably aren't messed up by some Secret Big Trauma that they just can't remember; but rather by a million tiny microtraumas that they do mostly remember but don't even register as traumatic because nobody actually understood that these things would cause trauma, much less stack on each other over the years.

If superheroes and the Sokovia Accords existed in our world, no superhero would be helping people of Palestine. Turns out UN are actually quite skewed and ineffective defending human rights and people's safety across the globe.

Anyway, Hollywood is propaganda.

If u want to write a story about a character that's just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who's gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.

I'm listening to the audiobook of Adult Children of Emotionally immature Parents, because I'm stuck living with my emotionally immature mother, and it sucks.

In the introduction, the book says "through this book you'll recognize not only your parents but also fictional characters", or something like that. And YES I'm getting Dean Winchester's personality x-rays here, not because he's the son of an emotionally immature father, or not only because of that, but because he's practically this book poster boy, he's probably the most emotionally immature character I've ever seen, and Sam (and other characters, and us as an audience) was his victim for decades.

SPN finale was perfect. It didn't need any fixing

The English

I just finished The English (2022) and I'm devastated by The Tragedy.

I can understand the romantic couple not getting together in the end. It's normal, I've seen it in other epic stories like Gladiator or female lead westerns like Godless. But the couple in Godless didn't have the chemistry of these two. They were perfect together.

Anyway, no, that was not the tragedy here. The tragedy was Cornelia's life being utterly and irreparably destroyed because of one monster. And the show allowed us to have hope for her, that when she said she had no hope, and she was already dead, she was talking methaphprically about being broken because of the crime, the isolation and loss. She wasn't. She was telling the truth, and we, the audience, are lead to lose hope probably at the same time Eli did.

I've seen syphilis as a plot device before, in The Frankenstein Chronicles, but Cornelia's case does not have the beneift of a supernatural element to save her. She was probably a virgin on her late teens or twenties, when she was condemned to decades of disease, suffering and isolation. It's so final.

I'm not mad with the storyteller for this. This must have happened in reality, in fact, in The Frankenstein Chronicles, it happened to the dead-before-the-narrative wife of the protagonist. He did it to her, infecting her and their child, killing the baby and motivating the wife to commit suicide. But what somehow bothers me is that even with how empowering Cornelia's prowess is, her story is still defined by one man, precisely the worst of them all. That didn't sit well. I need a time travel fix-it fic. I don't need a "life is not fair" kind of message right now.

You are a dumb bitch and dean girls are great and season 2 of daredevil is great and Jared Padalecki is a shitty actor and jensen is better. Shut up bitch

I like Captain America, Outlander and The Mandalorian too, do you have strong contrary opinions on those too?

If what happened in Uvalde Texas happened in my country, Chile:

1. Chile's Defensoría de la Niñez (Department of protection of children's rights) would bring a lawsuit against the Chilean government for not protecting the lives of children.

2. Certainly some collective of lawyers specialized in human rights would create a case against the government of Chile before the Inter-american Court of Human Rights.

3. People would take to the streets and give our government hell for not changing the gun control laws. Literal hell: people would burn things to the ground if 19 kids were murdered in their school. Enough thoughts and prayers, and more anger and action.

I can't understand why this is not happening in the USA. I guess you don't have an institution charged with the purpose of protecting children's rights. I just learned the USA don't belong to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

But it leaves me one question: are you not protesting in the streets? Why?

ANONYMOUSLY TELL ME YOUR HONEST OPINION ABOUT ME. I CAN’T REPLY, JUST PUBLISH.

[l-e-i-n-t-h]

Granny's voice: It's lovely that you young people can speak up now. Back in my day a girl had to keep her head down and accept insults and accusations only for talking about how good Sam was. Even that was considered an offence, you know? You had to say Dean was good too, and say you loved both brothers, otherwise you were "abusing" all the big sisters out there who saw themselves on Dean.

I like this new youth.

IDGAF about Supernatural anymore but I still fucking hate Dean Girls. To a ONE they were abuse apologists and homophobes and the some of the rudest people I have ever interacted with. Dean Winshitter is a lame character and Very Straight and, despite what his drooling fanclub would have you believe, very capable of making his own decisions. Sam did not ever "leave him no choice".

Dean murdered Amy of his own volition. Dean allowed an angel he did not know to inhabit Sam's mind and body without his consent of his own volition. Dean took the Mark of Cain of his own volition.

Dean was highly emotionally abusive to his brother AND to Cas. He was intensely homophobic and could not actually perceive women as being fully rounded humans. And no, your insistence that Dean was a closeted gay man does not "give new context" to his behavior. It does not become "understandable" and "sad" if he's repressed. I'm sorry that you're so desperate to infantilize gay men like that, but not every closeted dude becomes a serial abuser incapable of being held accountable.

And no, Sam "not having Dean in his heaven" was not emotional abuse. Sam running away from John to live a normal life was not emotional abuse. Sam being tricked by Lucifer and Ruby and being made into a pawn for their plans was not emotional abuse. This is not a "both sides" situation; Dean was actively, knowingly, maliciously cruel to vulnerable people around him, and Sam was just trying to live his fucking life.

The SPN fandom was incredibly unwelcoming to abuse victims and no, I will not be getting over it any time soon.

I would've linked the post if I didn't lost it, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH for showing up. I loved your analysis.

Man... Karen. I love her, I do. She's intelligent, brave and strong. She's kind, she's willing to think there's something good in people no one would defend. Except when it comes to Matt. She's written so erratically, she can defend Frank, but not Matt, because somehow being a killer is better than being a liar.

I totally agree with your analysis of season 2 and The Defenders. I guess the goal was to give Matt the highest level of angst possible, so the writers made Karen and Foggy treat him with distance, and be obtuse in their decision of blaming him for everything and refuse to listen to his explanations. It's painful to watch.

You know what? Matt Murdock's friends kinda suck

Ok, I haven't watched S3, but this struck me while I watched The Defenders.

Remember that episode in which they all send their loved ones to a police station, so they're protected? Claire, Colleen, Trish, Malcolm, all of them support their friends on what they're doing. They know stepping in if the situation calls for it, is or should be a part of their friends' identities. Being this special person who does dangerous things might be scary, but it's a part of who they are.

Foggy and Karen? They treat it as if it was Matt's addiction. Something wrong, that he should be ashamed of. Granted: maybe theirs is the most realistic reaction. They think about the consequences, they do this to protect Matt's life. After all, he doesn't have unbreakable skin, an unbreakable fist or super strength. And they're protecting their own lives too, cause if Matt's identity becomes public, both he and Foggy would lose their jobs. But... Their reaction is still kinda shitty? and it's sad how alone Matt is?

I read a post that said that, considering Matt's a Catholic, who went to college and had friends, he should be more adjusted than an alcoholic, an ex convict and a half billionaire, half Narnian kind of character, but –oh surprise–, he wasn't.

Of course he wasn't. Of all the defenders he was the one with less meaningful connections. All his close relationships judged him for different reasons. Colleen, Claire, the entirety of Harlem, Malcolm and Trish provided a lot of support to their respective vigilante friend. By the end of S2 and during The Defenders, Foggy and Karen only dwelled on the negative aspects of Daredevil. And Stick, the other meaningful connection in Matt's life was... Kind of a son of a bitch, who damned him for the opposite reason.

No wonder why Matt runs once and again towards Elektra's toxicity. That's exactly how you condemn someone to an unhealthy life style, with addictions or toxic relationships: if you leave them alone, if you judge them, isolate them, punish them, withdraw support until they behave the way you want, you just push them further away into the darkness.

This gave me some Supernatural S4-5 vibes. The whole demon blood addiction storyline was similar to this. Sam's family only cared about his trespasses, and punished him quite hardly. But they never saw his reasons, or the good he did (he could perform exorcisms by consuming demon blood). In the end he only had a demon by his side, and he was punished again when that demon betrayed him.

Granted, in season 2 Matt was unreliable, he jeopardized an important court case and such. But then I heard Trish talking so lovingly about Jessica's unreliability and... I felt very sorry for Matt. And I understood some of the anti Karen sentiment, and why Samuel Jackson said he disliked Foggy.

Ok, no person with a life of their own should be obligated to keep a relationship that doesn't satisfy them. Superheroes are not entitled to people catering to them. But COME ON, MATT'S A GOOD MAN. He deserves better.

So many people talks about how Matt's catholicism makes him feel guilty and unworthy. But one thing is to think you deserve punishment or penance, and another is your non catholic friends serving you that penance, thus confirming your belief.

As an introvert I can't and I will never be able to stand a character like Mrs. Bennet. She would drain my battery every day at breakfast, and I wouldn't recover until she went to sleep.

Everyone: How the fuck does Brandon Sanderson manage to write so much?

Brandon Sanderson: Check out this pie chart with percentages on many days a year I spend on specific activities, which I of course keep track of. As you can see, I maintain 20% minimum for family/fun, but in 2019 I spent 32% on traveling which is especially draining for me, so I planned to scale it down by 25 to 30% in the next year. With the pandemic, it allowed me to increase my time here and here….
