actually i think one of the things i loved most about love and thunder was thor’s character journey and the healthy representation it is for young boys that are watching this movie. how thor shows that it’s okay to show emotions and to feel things even if it hurts. how thor fights alongside two women the entire movie and it seems like the greatest honor of his life. how thor outwardly loves and shares his feelings with jane and wants her to know how much he actually loves her instead of shying away from it. how thor showed that it’s a role of a lifetime to cook and clean and get your kid dressed and take care of them because that’s what a dad should be doing too. how thor didn’t clean off mjolnir after love put makeup on it despite being a traditionally feminine thing. how thor isn’t serious and closed off all of the time but silly and goofy and just wants to live life. he is such a positive role model for young boys growing up right now, and the movie even showed us that by showing how much the kids in new asgard admire him. idk it just makes me really soft and chris hemsworth truly should be very proud of what he has done to thor over the years and how he has become that role model for so many kids across the world. ily god of thunder

#thor put an end to toxic masculinity fr #but on a serious note just looking into the way certain types of media impact young boys and how so much of it portrays toxic masculinity #and we have this super big dude in mainstream media who is a literal god #but he’s fr just the physical embodiment of 🥹 #it just makes me v happy #thor love and thunder #love and thunder #thor #thor love and thunder spoilers #marvel #mcu #love and thunder spoilers

sitting on my hands so hard every time I see a tmagp theory post based on inaccurate information because it's impolite to constantly tell random people on the internet that they're wrong and it is in fact completely normal to not have encyclopedic knowledge about these podcasts and I, magnus trivia marina, am the outlier in this situation

#for my own sanity. a few things: #from a q&a stream we know tim fearon is going to be playing augustus #the magnus institute in this universe was in manchester not london and ran 'educational programs' and burnt down in 1999 #sam (and gerry) (and maybe alice) were involved in these educational programs during young childhood #in mag 114 the statement giver had never heard of the magnus institute despite being v familiar with the area of london it was in #tmagp #marina marvels at life

Thinking about poor, doomed Young Griff and how it’s not even important if he is or isn’t Rhaegar’s real son. Because what makes him a fake goes beyond blood - it’s really down to intent and experience. He’s a poor rich man’s Aegon V, but like without the organic hero’s journey.

He’s a lab experiment pretty much. However well intentioned he is, there isn’t much indication that his journey has been authentic. Varys and Illyrio are trying to recreate Aegon V with a fake...literally down to the “let’s hide his hair” scheme. They even gave the boy Aegon’s freaking name (it’s a king’s name after all so I can’t blame them). But they missed like the biggest, most important lesson of all. Aegon V CHOSE to go out. HE made himself, no one else did. His journey was organic as it was derived out of his own autonomous decisions, not manufactured down to the smallest detail (does YG really know what it means to starve and be homeless and hunted?). And there was no promise of a reward (I.e., kingship). Egg didn’t know that he’d be king and even after his dad rose to the throne, there were a ton of people ahead of him. FFS he’s called Aegon the Unlikely. Bro just woke up one day and was like “ay wouldn’t it be nice to actually experience this realm from the perspective of a disenfranchised person?”

Meanwhile, our poor Young Griff is being made to go through all this with the expectation that it’s all going to pay off when he becomes king. BUT (big but!), who’s to say that he actually gets it? Like does he really get why he needs to see how this horrible feudalistic society preys on the smallfolk and makes corpses out of them? Wait, does he even know or recognize that the system needs changing? Like did Varys and Illyrio just tell him “people poor” and leave it at that? Why are they poor Young Griff? How did they get there?! Do Varys and Illyrio even get it? Do they understand that Aegon V was a radical change maker?

How hollow is it that it’s not Young Griff making the conscious decision to actually try and see how his subjects live. He’s not making the conscious decision to be a change maker, no matter what Varys and Illyrio say. People in this fandom will talk about how Young Griff will be the perfect king but…perfect for whom? In what way? In a series that critiques this entire system, what about YG screams that he’s going to actually tackle some of the systemic issues that need tackling - the systemic issues that Aegon V tried to tackle after organically going through his own journey?

WELLLLL….isn’t it cool that Jon and Dany are the true heirs to Aegon V’s legacy not because of blood, but because they actually get to the heart of Aegon V’s journey? Say what you want about them but they are radical as it gets (Jon at the Wall and Dany all over Slaver’s Bay). No one manufactured them. No one told them they had to care about people. No one told them they had to do this lab experiment to become king/queen. They actually did their own thing, while themselves being disenfranchised (GRRM identifies both as outsiders). And without the expectation of a reward (like Jon is literally told that his entire life will basically amount to nothing).

And it’s even better that they were unlikely. Young Griff is meant to happen - well someone is pulling the strings to make sure he works. He’s taking the role of someone who was always meant to be king - for Rhaegar’s son was meant to be king. But Jon and Dany are actually following the Aegon V blueprint because they weren’t meant to happen. Jon is a second son who is presumably a bastard with a contentious claim, and Dany is a daughter who was never meant to survive being sold off to slavery let alone rise to queenship. Neither one of them was meant to be on the throne. No one told them to do the things they did. No one took them and placed them in the positions they’re in. They rose to the occasion by themselves and made changes by their own volition - just as it was with Aegon V. And what makes it even better is that just as Aegon V was chosen to be king, so were Jon and Dany (Jon was literally elected into office and basically won over the wildlings while Dany was dubbed “mhysa” because of her actions in Slaver’s Bay).

#asoiaf #jon snow #daenerys targaryen #young griff #aegon v targaryen #varys #illyrio mopatis #valyrianscrolls #my stuff #like they took an imposter and were like let’s recreate this cool king from decades ago #wasn’t it nice how he cared about people and stuff? #how we actually journeyed among the smallfolk and lived among them and directly experienced what it means to be disenfranchised? #yeahhhh let’s do that…..but we won’t do it organically #meanwhile prince in hiding jon snow doesn’t even know he’s a prince in hiding #he gains power and is just like yeah isn’t it cool to be nice to people and give them basic human decency?! let’s do that from now on #and he has zero expectation for a reward - like he KNOWS that the only reward he’ll get is at best being forgotten at worse infamy and death #dany literally sees people being slaves and is like that sucks ☹️ lemme do something about it #and she DID #she freaking did #like I’ve always felt that we’re not going to get on page confirmation that Aegon is a fake #because it’s not about that #it’s about a boy whose been forced to wear boots that don’t fit #so he’s tap dancin and tap dancin until he can’t anymore and dies #Dany doesn’t need to be YG’s undoing #YG all be his own undoing and that’s more interesting from a character level #the lesson isn’t ohh he’s not the hero because he doesn’t have the right blood #y’all I could go on and on like!!!

Thinking about how the second Lucifer set foot in the hotel, Alastor immediately was filled to the brim with contempt towards him. We know it's because he can't tolerate not being the most powerful being in the room and just had to find a way to antagonize him, but you know what else is there? Everyone in the hotel knows at that point that Lucifer has been an absent father for some time.

Now what is the most common theory about Alastor's own father?

#i really want to get more info on his home life. it would explain so much about him #but i keep thinking he got to hell and saw the place in disarray under the rule of an--to him--incompetent ruler #and maybe he wants to reach the top to set everything under a semblance of control? #if alastor had an absent father himself it's v likely he was put in the position of “man of the house” at a young age #and grew up expecting to always take charge of things and to take matters into his own hands #the serial killing could stem from that if we assume he only killed abusive men as i've seen mentioned in some other hcs #as if he's got a misguided sense of heroism that is so complex and convoluted it does a full 180 and lands smack dab in villainy #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #GIVE ME THE LORE VIVIENNE #idk he just. is so clearly evil yet genuinely wants to help the hotel. idk what he's thinking it drives me nuts

Lets Watch the entirety of the Sun and Moon Show I said, This will be Fun! I said!

News flash, If you only watch the animatics for something, your not getting the full flashes of the show. And if your like me, and this is now an obsession for the next month, we'll make this Tumblr post to give you an idea of how to watch the actual thing 

If you have no idea what I’m talking about I’ll give you a hint.

This is the Sun and Moon show, and it looks most certainly like a content farm. or at least was set up to be a content farm in the beginning as it is definitely bleeding the “I’m 11! FrEDdY FAzbEaR!” crowd dry, and the “Sister Channels” of the Channel (With the direct expectation of maybe 2) are just content farms. However, The funky little channel heads went about giving the show lore, and traumatizing all the characters which is how I got invested, because I am a SUCKER for angsty edits.

But- as shown the thumbnails look like this:

The only good ones, are some of the drawn later ones, and they look like this.

Mwha, beautiful, appreciate it now because they are few and far between.

So now out of anger and spite, because I’ve been told I can’t just pick and choose to get the lore that I want and leave the rest behind: Here is me going through each episode to let you know what is actually happening during theses ten minute little shorts and gameplay Footage, because Calico must organize her thoughts, and If you see this and know me in real life - No you don’t.

We’ll be looking through the series based on this playlist as recommended to me by the folks on the r/TheSunandMoonShow Subreddit

So anything you need to know before the show starts - Sun and Moon are animatronic daycare attendants for the pizzaplex from the security breach games, they have separate bodies, they have started to a channel together to try and bond as Brothers due to some mysterious incident.

So we’ll be going through the show, five episodes at a time, and analyzing it for whats going on, because the human isn’t getting me through this, so the rage might as well.

More to come, 

Calico

#tsams au #the sun and moon show #tsams spoilers #Calico speaks #Fuck #this show makes me so angry #All of the humour is for young young children OMG #Its like #early Red v blue jokes #and those are just awful #fuck it we ball I guess
