people don’t talk about hilda (from the netflix show) enough and how absolutely insane she is. and by that i mean how she takes the Traditional Hero trope to the absolute extremes. she is filled with overwhelming whimsy; adventure is drawn to her like a goddamn magnet and absolutely NO ONE can stop her from pursuing it. and if they even try to get in her way then fuck them. this kid’s normal tuesday means possibly dying multiple times and fighting The Horrors. everyone around her is concerned for her and the unstoppable magical girl powers that she wields but she absolutely WILL be a little shit about it because she was pulled from her whimsical littol cottage in the woods where she played with trolls and forced to move to fucking Normal Non-Magic Town. turns out going to Normal Town is only a minor setback and soon she’s back on the befriending magical creatures (a GIANT TALKING RAVEN) grind. she’s so Magical Girl Protagonist that even her own mother is terrified for her.
put simply: hilda subverts the magical girl trope in such a way that makes her a threat to normal society. and i love her for that
To all the people out there that call Karen dumb my most sincere fuck you, just because my girl isn't the sharpest tool on the shelf doesn't mena she's dumb. In all honesty she's probably just dyslexic or have another type of neurodivergency and I will protect her at all costs
i was thinking about the time my mom saw me watching a video of omar's concert and her first comment after asking me if he was the guy i flew to sweden for (she had never seen him, knew absolutely nothing about him) was a surprised 'oh, he's not ugly!'
first of all what a weird thing to say.
but second of all imagine referring to omar rudberg as 'not ugly'.
that's the oddest, funniest descriptor one could come up with that is also technically Not Wrong
Thank you so very much to everyone who has helped my dear friend 18-year-old Haya Orouq and her family in their desperate fundraising mission to get out of Gaza and get treatment for her mother, who is sick with Lupus. You have no idea how much it means to us. You are quite literally saving their lives and I can never show enough gratitude for your solidarity and support. ❤️🥹❤️

Adding a footnote into this fic for readers politely suggesting (insisting) that they need to read one line in particular in this EXACT keeley voice. I have very specific inspirations and I am completely normal about them.
