I just came across your wonderful little community. I believe my daughter may be one of you. She always expresses delight at watching her favorite characters getting injured or ending up in a state of peril, in particular loves anything from the superhero genre for that very reason. I've never been concerned by it as I quite enjoy a bit of hurt/comfort myself.
My sister in law was recently over when my daughter was watching Tangled and asked to rewatch the stabbing part. She was horrified and we ended up having an argument after started demanding that I take her to see a therapist because it's not normal for someone to enjoy watching others suffer so much, as if despite being the sweetest, gentlest child she's about to turn into a serial killer.
Anyway, I'm glad to find there is a term for it and you lot seem like a lovely bunch.
This message made my heart feel so full nonny!!! Welcome to our own little corner of tumblr! I don't know how old your daughter is but if she ever wants to join she'd be welcome with open arms! And you as well should you wish to join! This community if full of wonderful, kind, accepting, and supportive people, We of course have our moments of discourse (as any large fandom will) but the moments of kindness and support far outweigh any negative. It's the best community I have ever been a part of. You won't find anyone kinder than a whump lover. Honest.
I love that your daughter is into this genre and not only do you see nothing wrong with it (because there definitely isn't!) but that you defend her. Not all of us have been so lucky to have such loving and supportive and understanding people in our lives. Bless you for defending her against your sister in law. I've had my fair share of "you need therapy" comments from people who don't understand and it can hurt. It's lovely to have a parent who supports and defends their childs love of this genre. You make my heart very happy, nonny.
Also your daughter has great taste because that stabbing scene in Tangled is one of the best whump scenes. I have definitely watched it on repeat may times lol.
No offense but the way movies and rotten tomatoes numbers are taken so seriously is weird to me. Like ??? It really isn't that deep. Don't like something? Cool, don't watch it. It really is that simple.
This is about "Rebel Moon" but it literally goes for anything. Big films like this, are meant to be a fun escape from reality. They're not serious.
if I was the unnamed cheeky, sad, hilarious, broken protagonist in a british comedy-drama and a catholic priest I had just met looked me straight in the eye and asked me what I do for a living I would simply pass out
Ok, I've been struggling a lot with which quote to put, so I decided on the simplest one, even though my first choice was something along the lines of:
"We always gonna be the bestest of bestest friends in the world"
But it was tooooo hard already to animate just "MY BEE BOY" OMFG, no more PS in a year... f*ck
My last words will be, I love the video and the faces that Tubbo made giggles, GOD give this man an Oscar, or retirement.
Btw, English is not my first language, so blame GoogleTranslate in case what I write doesn't make any sense, tysm =)
