Initially I had no interest in watching the new Ghostbusters movies (Afterlife and Frozen Empire) as I was wondering how on earth they were going to work this in with kids.
**contains spoilers**
I watched Frozen Empire (FE) the other week and was immediately counting down the days till Afterlife came onto Netflix just so that I could see more of these characters. I’m a sucker for family dynamics and good family relationships and for me FE ticked all my boxes, especially with Gary Grooberson and his interactions with the family.
My main point of this post is Phoebe Spengler. Since the first moment she was on screen I was glued to it. She’s quite androgynous in appearance to me and I’ve been finding myself wanting more of that represented in media these days.
I like all the characters but Phoebe really stuck with me. Just look at her:
(Don’t get me wrong, I love Trevor too, but Phoebe is just 🤌)
These two movies had a good family dynamic with siblings portrayed in a way that didn’t make me cringe, an adult being very mindful of the developing family relationships he’s building AND a neurodivergent young teen who’s androgynous in appearance? That and I’m 90% certain Phoebe had a crush on Melody in FE.
I neeeeeed to devour movie analysis and fanfictions on these films and Phoebe.
8/10
I’m so thankful to the ao3 writers in the Wolfs fandom, because I cannot put my thoughts onto paper and you are doing a wonderful job
Of all things in the episode today, I did not expect to see a birth.
Also TRINITY SANTOS - love that she speaks Tagalog
Gold in the tags
the unfortunate thing about the second season being 10 months into the future is that we'll never see a bit where javadi gets to private investigator levels of nosy about why santos and whitaker are Like That and concludes they are dating. and when she tells them this, they both look at her like she's killed their childhood pets.
Hey, you know that one character? The one played by the tall, long-haired actor? The one who was pre-law in 2005, and well on his way to going to law school and getting a degree until an unexpected family issue reared its head, and he dropped out and chose a different career path? Y’know, he’s got that complicated relationship with his father, a parent-child relationship with his only sibling, and has some strange, destructive abilities that tie in with multiple traumatic experiences with fire?
Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.
i literally can’t listen to tik tok by kesha without thinking about that goddamn star trek tos fanvid…you know the one
😭 he brings all his friends to meals
just because elphaba is gay doesn't mean she's a friend of dorothy. in fact,
She/TheyI’m part of many fandoms and part of few very small ones.
