I don’t like the fact that Alice and Jack find Ellie/Chloe immediately when they get to Wonderland. Like no offense makes no sense like what does Alice have to do??? Cause in earlier productions her WHOLE THING was to find Chloe. And even on Broadway with her goal of finding Chloe was put in Act 2, she still wanted to go back home mainly for Chloe. So now that she has Ellie what does she do???
GATO IS SO EWWWWW!!! NOT ONLY DID THEY JUST ERASE HIS LATINIDAD AND MADE HIM WHITE BUT ALSO HES SO OBNOXIOUS LIKE THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST CHESHIRE IN EXISTENCE!! AND THE FACT THAT THEY REPLACED GO WITH THE FLOW WITH SUCH A LAME SONG LIKE BOOOOOOO GET OFF THE STAGE
I feel there’s some sort of malice with how they portray Cheshire. While Cheshire and in turn Gato aren’t autistic in canon, I do think that they’re coded very highly as such even if unintentionally. So them portraying Cheshire as an idiot feels really ableist. Like they saw Gato, who was a silly man but still incredibly smart and then in response, they made it so their version of him was an idiot to laugh at. Like Oh man look at this guy look at how strange he is guys!! Just as an autistic man, it just feels as if they’re mocking us idk how to explain it
The transition to songs is soooooo bad from One Knight and onwards
I don’t like how they used the Looking Glass. Like the Looking Glass has never changed people. When Alice went through the looking glass she didn’t change, she was still Alice throughout the entire story
Everyone is so obnoxious. How they mischaracterize everyone is AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Can’t believe Alice finally got a goal 54 minutes into the show
Gato and Caterpillar already had the issue with feeling as if they didn’t contribute much to the plot and now they’re just ensemble characters. So even with their ONE character of color left, they basically make him useless. Yes show you have totally convinced me that you aren’t racist as shit /s
They butchered the SHIT out of Morris and Hatter’s dynamic. Like they’re finally together romantically but at what cost
I hate that Rabbit sings I Am My Own Invention. It makes no sense to Rabbit from Wonderland. Like if you didn’t want to include Lewis Carroll(which I don’t mind I don’t like him being in the show) then GATO IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE
They have like five funny jokes
The fact that like Hatter was only an antagonist for like 20 minutes. Guillotine me thinks
They took the tragedy out of Wonderland fuck you for that fr
MAKE ME DEPRESSED IN A GOOD WAY MAN!! BREAK MY HEART BUT NO WE HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED BECAUSE OF HOW DISAPPOINTING IT IS
THE FACT THAT THEY MADE CHESHIRE SOLD ELLIE OUT IS SO OOC AND THE FACT THAT THEY SAY ITS CAUSE HES A CAT CATS ARE JUST AS LOYAL AS DOGS CHESHIRE WOULD NEVER DO THAT
Finding Wonderland makes no sense cause for me the reason why that song works cause of her friends back in Wonderland. Like those were her imaginary friends who loved her for who she was and were there for her, and helped her find not only her daughter but herself. And in this musical, nobody feels like her friend. Nobody feels like home so why would Alice sing about how finding Wonderland is like going home again???? THAT MAKES NO SENSE
This version doesn’t have heart. Like at all
It also goes down the mistake of characterizing so many of the Wonderlandians as “crazzyyyyy” to not make them interesting characters
So yeah for people who think that if Wonderland comes back for a revival that should use the plot for this production, I just have one thing to say to you: SUCK MY DICK AND DIE
it’s so fucking embarrassing to find a conventionally attractive man attractive every time it happens. like oh you think the handsome man is handsome? you find the attractive guy attractive? derivative. passé. pedestrian
one thing that has been stuck in my brain since I heard it is that marx is the most responded-to western social theorist of modernity. It’s not literally true in the sense that there are scholars who have more raw citations than he does but he became permanently unavoidable in all social scientific discussion after he came onto the scene. and even when he is intentionally avoided he’s still present. his absence is itself a presence in the text. a spectre haunting the academy one might say
I just. I don’t really want to keep talking about it, but I have to get these feelings out because the more I think about Somerton’s excuses video the angrier I get, ESPECIALLY given his insistence in the video that there isn’t a real community within LGBTQ spaces—specifically this quote; “We wanted it to be a channel where every queer person could feel welcomed... And we failed at that. That is something that, in hindsight, I think is impossible to create.”*
Because wow! Aren’t you the one who called Becky Albertalli, a bisexual woman, straight ?? Aren’t you the one who has consistently stolen queer and lgbtq people’s work as your own , profiting off of their labor and research and time? Aren’t you the one who sicced your fan base on smaller creators who noticed your plagiarism??? Aren’t YOU the one who LIED blatantly about lesbians “historically having it easier” than gay men ?? That LIED about Radclyffe Hall’s book being banned and destroyed???? What was it you said?? That she got to go on with “her merry little life”???
Fuck you. How dare you.
How dare you say there is no community, no safe space for all of us, when you have literally done NOTHING but maliciously and consistently stolen from, lied to, manipulated, and put down and bullied the community.
You have done nothing but try to break apart and put down your lgbtq siblings, so of course you believe that solidarity, safety, and intersectionality within our community is not something that can exist.
There are lgbtq people who are actively working to make those spaces, where everyone feels welcomed, but you clearly see yourself as being above that, above collaboration and community, above listening to other’s experiences.
You only think that a space where all queer and lgbtq people are welcomed and feel safe is impossible because your goal was never to carve out that space. It was to make money and take advantage of the people who looked up to you.
You think it’s impossible because you never once thought about the people you were stealing from, never once cared about the community, our history, the activism of our elders and all they did, never thought about how your actions and lies would hurt the community.
Stop making excuses and lying. Be fucking better.

ACHERON AND DR. RATIO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PHILOSOPHY IM GONNA BITE SOMEONE
‼️2.2 spoilers‼️
If you are like me, when you got to Acheron’s conversation with the trailblazer in front of the manifestation of IX, you tried to resist over tables BECAUSE AAAAAAAUGHH WHAT DO YOU MEAN
Look, LIKE JUST LOOK
This is part of Ratios conversation with Screwllum in the 1.6 questline:
PAY ATTENTION TO THE LAST ONE BECAUSE
GUESS WHO ECHOES IT WHEN WE TALK TO HER IN 2.2:
IS THIS NOT THE SAME? ARE THEY NOT SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING? THAT YOU SHOULD GIVE PEOPLE THE TOOLS TO HELP THEMSELVES, THEN LEAVE THEM ALONE SO THEY CAN SAVE THEMSELVES AND FORGE THEIR OWN FUTURE? THAT THEY BOTH BELIEVE THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE LEFT ALONE TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES DO THEY SHOW THEIR TRUE STRENGTH?!?
Like this lines especially are just AAAAGHH literal bar for bar repeating one another
SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD DOCTOR AS THE SAME OUTLOOK ON HUMANITY AS A LITERAL EMANATOR OF NIHILITY?!?!
An emanator of Nihility WHO SHOULD’NT EXIST
An emanator of Nihility looking to kill IX and find the Existence on the other side of them.
AND HIS VIEWS ARE CREEPILY SIMILAR TO HERS?
Fuck it, Ratio isn’t just accidentally striding the path of Nihility.
He’s accidentally striding the path of Existence.
Nous be damned the reason why this man was never acknowledged by the Erudition is because he’s striding a Path so starkly different to it that the person who resembles him the most shouldn’t even be there either.
No wonder his in game path is Hunt instead of Erudtion, if he’s this similar to Acheron than her singleminded drive to end IX mirrors that of his to spread knowledge (following how Hunt works in gameplay, a lot more like Vengance in lore).
Please please please Hoyo I’m begging on hands and knees for this to be intentional, and for you to do SOMETHING, SOMETHING WITH THIS PLOTPOINT.
Ratio figured out Dormancy somehow, all of his character stories are told from the POV of other people, so we barely know anything about his past, he’s from a planet we don’t know of yet, AND NOW WE HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THIS??
I NEED ANSWERS I NEED EXPLANATIONS I NEED SOMETHING PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME HANGING. LET HIS LORE AND FUTURE OUT OF THE BOX PLEASE
“I bet they are going to pull an Alhaitham with him”
NO, NO THEY AREN’T. PLEASE TELL ME THEY AREN’T. I know it’s coping, but the mystery around Alhaitham got cleared away when we got his character stories, but Ratio’s character stories only make him more confusing. We have more questions instead of answers and with the 2.2 update I will spontaneously combust if we never get them BECAUSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN AAAAAAA
TLDR: let the Ratio lore out of the box and Hoyoverse pls pls PLEASE let him meet Acheron
So I had another head canon on twt about Uncanny Vash and basically what’s stopping people from drawing his pupils turning into slits or dilating whenever he’s about to snap?
Because trust me Knives canNOT be the only twin who can pull a thousand yard stare and scare the shit outta people like cmon:
already seeing people who clearly don’t understand that a lot of us who are upset about what happened to marwa in this episode aren’t upset about the characters’ in-universe morality but the real life misogyny and racism in the way that this plot was handled lol
Some of y’all could not handle Hannibal season 4 when will graham walks out with wrinkles and a  receding hairline. I’ve seen the fan art, I’ve read the fanfics- as soon as will graham isn’t “twinkable” yall would loose interest. Stop lying to yourself.
Me and my mutuals tho we want to fuck that old man
