[muppetbyers]

it just feels like the duffers think that the height of non-conformity is being a nerd

#like fuck poc fuck queer people fuck neurodivergent ppl you know who has it real rough? gamers #okay that was a joke but its so telling that they just… dont get the issues they’re trying to tackle #its the way lucas had basically no character development until s4 and even that was framed super weirdly #and how eddie ‘the freak’ just ends up dying anyways despite it all #and erica gets absolutely nothing apart from tired stereotypes #and just… everything about how they treated robin and will in terms of their queerness #yeah… we get the message #i’ll stop posting about vol2 now ive been here all day. #also im very mad rn so ignore me if this is like an insane overraction #mine

i Do Not Trust people who make Mary the bad guy in their stories when the show went out of its way to specifically show us how she was suffering just as much as stede was in their marriage and that shes, yknow, a good person

#mary is specifically framed in a sympathetic light in all of her appearances. the show switches to following her narrative so we can see #how much better her new life is for her too!!! like yes she tries to kill stede but we are shown in the narrative WHY she makes that choice #and that she struggles with it and we see stede understanding this too! he supports her decisions and her new life and is happy for her!!! #at no point are we shown anything that makes mary a bad person or bad mother- honestly i generally like mary far more than stede anyway #but even if you dont you should be able to acknowledge... that if u make her the bad guy??? w. what did you take away from the show?? #idk it has the vibes of. the girl character all the fans hate because she gets in the way of their precious little gay ship #or whatever. you know what i mean #ofmd #our flag means death #mary bonnet #mary allamby bonnet #everyone whos a mary hater is also an izzy hater bc theyre coded the same character type. betrayed wives my beloved #(this is a joke.) #uh. this might be one to add in the tags on again sorry gang i have too many thoughts

i don't think early-series hera gets enough credit for how funny she is. "scans do indicate a percentage drop in the tank's capacity that is commensurate with the amount officer eiffel could stuff into a crewmember duffel bag"? she saw him do it. she probably talked to him while he did it. it's the tonal dissonance between highly technical phrasing and a very blunt observation. like when eiffel asks her for her top five 'stick it to the man' songs and she asks him things like 'top five lanthanides?' until he says "you're just yanking my chain, aren't you?" and she responds by quoting anarchy in the uk at him. sure, sometimes there are things she genuinely doesn't get and/or would express differently, but the way she frames it is playing with the false expectations people have of her. she knows exactly what she's doing.

#wolf 359 #w359 #hera wolf 359 #things like 'upping sarcasm to 74 percent' ... she's doing that on purpose #i'm trying to think of the right way to express this but like. hm. #hera is allowed to make jokes based on her being an AI and the perception people have of her because of that #but other people making comments or jokes about it clearly bothers her so it does. almost come across as a defense mechanism too #in the same way eiffel presents himself as an idiot to lessen the sting of failure #hera will sometimes play up perceived differences or assumptions because when she's sincere and people treat her as if she can't relate #that's worse. #and i think there is some kind of. way that aligns with autistic experiences like both that #the way you express yourself will be perceived as Different even if you are trying to relate to Normal Human Experiences #but also that people will make assumptions about the things they think you won't get or relate to without even asking #and there's. i don't know. there's something i see there #in the way hera navigates that and how intentional her framing is and how much of it. lessens over time #because the way other people see her and interact with her changes #more than anything about how she thinks or what she values. that's always been pretty constant. #i always kind of end up back on a version of this topic. and this was meant to be a lighthearted post. but you know... wolf 359...

mulder not owning a bed is such a minor character detail that’s encompassing of practically the entirety of who he is, which is so crazy honestly

#chris carter’s faustian deal etc etc #he does not ever stop he does not ever rest he does not ever sleep #he does not allow himself a moment’s comfort or affection or softness #and the thing is that you don’t even know he doesn’t have a bed at first #you just kind of notice that you never see him sleep #unless it’s on the couch in his clothes with the tv on #but then they kind of poke fun at it #like van blundt’s ‘where do i SLEEP?’ in his apartment #and the first ever peek into his bedroom in s6 #that he does have one #it’s just stacked floor to ceiling with boxes #and it's so strange and unusual that it stands out in a way that makes you HAVE to clock these things about him #that he usually can try to hide in a well placed joke or reassuring smile #behind a shut door when there are lamps and blankets and framed artwork in the main room #he’s so outwardly kind and gentle that you don’t see it at first #the extent of how self-punishing and driven mad with guilt he is #until the show opens a door and almost points and laughs

Farscape as things from my own #gender tag. for funsies .

bonus:

#chiana has some kinda funky gender thing going on idk how else to describe it. stark too. #like jokes/trans headcanons aside there’s something about the like. narrative framing? of how those two are characterised #like ​Chiana isn’t a girl she’s a twink. she’s a weird goth little fag. #and stark. that is not a man. that is every extra from a shakespeare play crammed into one person. that is a damsel in distress. a boytoy. #and that’s to say NOTHING of John Crichton because everyone has already said it in better ways than i could. but yeah. #also obligatory scorpius canonically has a pussy he told me himself. and Zhaan’s plantshlong tastes like marzipan. #anyway ! #farscape #farscape text posts #your daily dose of idiocy

[autistic-beshelar]

ah yes dungeon meshi, the manga where an autistic man gets repeatedly bullied by people he thinks are his friends and not a single person supports him

#dont get me wrong i am enjoying this manga #but i'm failing to see how this is some great amazing autistic rep #like yeah laios is obviously autistic #and the struggles he has due to his autism are VERY relatable #but it's deeply uncomfortable that even the people closest to him are routinely awful to him #specifically for his autistic traits #and their bullying is almost always a joke #not a single person defends him #literally senshi is the only character that's never been cruel to him #well and farlyn but lbr she's also autistic and also has been in like half a chapter that ive read so far #maybe ive just not read far enough or not seen enough posts #but im not understanding why the fandom are treating it like amazing autistic rep and how it understands us so well #you could argue that the narrative tends to support laios's methods and way of thinking #but nothing else does #the scene with shuro was fucking awful to read tbh #'you're so annoying because you're autistic. how dare you think im your friend when you should have just guessed that i hated you' #and not a single person defends laios #or calls shuro out on what a fucking horrific way of treating a party member that is #like i dont know MAYBE you could have just said 'hey i don't really want to be friends' #maybe you could COMMUNICATE. #but no it's the autistic man who's the problem. for the crime of.... being too nice. #i don't have a problem with the scene. #i have a problem with the fact that shuro is framed as reasonable here. instead of utterly fucking vile. #i have a problem with none of the other characters sticking up for laios. #dungeon meshi #maybe ppl will start treating him better #i would like to continue reading #but if he continues getting bullied in EVERY fucking chapter as a 'joke' then idk man

squealed out loud at work because i got an email confirming my order of stationery and stickers were being shipped and my coworker looked at me and went. i say this because i care. you need help.

#to be clear she was joking and i immediately teased her back because she's the exact same way about Frames #like picture frames

[ritahayworrth]

brb omw to kill eun-sung

#i wasn't joking i will kill him for you queen #like your honor once my motive has been explained and established you will see that i was totally right to kill him #ughhhhhhi knew he was gonna find a way to be there when she wakes up #BUT TO FRAME HYUN-WOO FOR MURDER?!?!? #Queen of Tears #queen of tears spoilers

[identifying-cars-in-posts]

I AM ALSO AN AUTISTIC ADULT, PEOPLE.

i mean. sorry you got misunderstood but that was in absolutely zero way clear from your ask, and nothing about it made it seem like satire or sarcasm. like i’m genuinely sorry you got ripped apart in the notes and replies for something you weren’t serious about but to be fully honest if you come in pretending to be a dumbass saying dumbass stuff without giving any insight at all that you’re joking, everyone is gonna just see you as a dumbass with no cause to think otherwise. do a bad enough job at satire and you’re just gonna be mistaken for what you’re satirizing

edit: unless of course it wasn’t a joke and you meant that outside of the autism you just think i seem like a child. in which case that’s. still a dick move?

#not a car id #asks #miss-nadias #you have zero ground to go around calling people idiots for not getting your joke #when it was in absolute no way framed as one

[arsenicflame]

i sometimes get the impression that a lot of people forget that while our flag means death is a comedy, it does know how to handle trauma well within the narrative. we are shown it over and over with the flashbacks for ed and stede and jim. at no point do they play the real trauma of the situation for laughs, its treated with the weight it deserves, while still being part of a comedy show

#this is sorta tangentially related to my last post. mostly the tags bit #like ok. im not really expecting the toe scene to be treated with the weight that it would be in a more serious show #(id like it to be; but thats why we have fanfiction) mostly im Expecting it to be casually disregarded after some apologies #as though it isnt a serious disability like it would be irl i guess #the thing that would ick me is if it became the butt of a joke. played for laughs. its an issue izzy has and oh isnt it funny. you know? #theyve shown us they know how to handle serious and traumatic shit within the frame of the show and im hoping izzys toe falls more that way #rather than silly haha #idk. thoughts #nyxtalks #ofmd #lunchtime meta is apparently a thing im doing this week (instead of the hand sewing i SHOULD BE DOING!!!) #our flag means death #a certified nyx post

[turtlemagnum]

guess who just became the world record holder for glass joe!! this took way more effort than i expected it to, i'm honestly kinda proud of myself

#for those not in the know #the joke here is that glass joe is literally the easiest record to achieve #that shit's probably been tied a thousand ways for as long as the game's been out #so im joining the club. essentially #still. if memory serves it's like. frame perfect or a few frames perfect. so i'm still pretty gamer.....

[bonefall]

How do you know about glass children?!? It's like you go out of your way to incorporate and see disabled people and it's so nice to be seen!

I actually didn't until someone asked me if that's what I was doing with Bumblestripe and Blossomfall! I just. perfectly wrote the dynamics and feelings associated with Glass Children for B&B and learned there was a name for it LMAO

I'm interested in types of abuse and dynamics within families, how pain passes down between generations. I write a lot about it and like to listen to people's experiences. It's complex and nuanced, but somehow, it's all similar. Pain isn't that different between people-- how they react to it is.

People say, "Listen to disabled people/abusive victims/marginalized persons" and I think some folks don't know what that means. What that means is; seek out people's individual experiences and learn how they describe their own lives, in their own terms. How they interact with their family, what annoys them, the language they wished people used, day to day tricks that make their lives easier.

For Jayfeather I just did a lot of that. Took people's input on how to do the warrior training arc, what they wish was more common in these stories, and what to avoid.

And for how his relationship is to Brambleclaw... well, honestly, Brambleclaw is my special boodle boy and no one understands him like I do✨✨ This man is a terrible father and a toxic mate✨✨✨He never should have had power over kits or Clans and Bad Bramble Dad is actually incredibly interesting as a continuation of the TNP characterization and segways nicely into the sorts of bad choices he makes as a leader✨✨✨✨✨

That man plays favorites with his children just like his own dad did, lathering affection on whoever pleases him most, he is incapable of doing an accurate self-reflection because the idea that he might actually, truly be like his own father is so painful that he can't confront the idea and becomes defensive at the very thought ✨✨✨

#Jokes aside I really don't mean shade to the majority of the fandom that would have preferred Bramble be unproblematic #In fact I agree he's absolutely unrecognizable from his TPB characterization #but also. Bramble's abuse is actually profoundly interesting. The way he's petty and can't handle the idea of losing control #And GOOD GODS it's so rare to see people hit the sweet spot #People either make him an inhuman monster or remove the abuse entirely and like... I get people wanting to rehab their comfort character #Or create a huge villain to be cathartically torn down #but i am a fucking Obelisk. Alone. crying that he's actually fascinating the way he is #and his biggest problem is that the writers don't realize that he IS abusive #It's just framing I swear that's the problem. please god why does no one else see how interesting he is #bone babble #tw abuse

bad news: im at it again

#just remembered this image lol #if you're wondering why i keep bringing up my communist theory studies #and joking about how everyone probably hates it and finds it exhausting #even though no one has ever expressed. any opinion about it whatsoever #its because i am genuinely and sincerely embarrassed #and framing it like its a quirky affectation instead of just. my irrepressible autism way #feels a little better i guess #if its a funny bit or if its a thing im doing to spite the haters then at least it's something im doing on purpose yknow? #so if someone could please get Big Mad about the communism that would really help support my premise thanks
