For all those who complain about explicit “smutty” books or smut in fic in general:
Just be aware that a bill has been introduced in Oklahoma’s state senate (SB 593) that would make writing/publishing/owning an explicit romance book a felony.
So, when you come on here to espouse your “anti pro-ship” nonsense, or moan about how hard it is to find fics/art/books that aren’t “smutty” — know that this is the effect. You are being used as mouthpieces to help feed and perpetuate censorship. There is no room for censorship in fiction because it will never stop at what you deem morally “right”. It is about control and the restriction of speech. Your discomfort with sex in media does not make it wrong, and it certainly doesn’t mean you get to advocate for its restriction.
Do not be pawns in the far-right’s game. Do not call yourselves allys of any kind if you are willingly feeding into a pillar of far right extremism. It will not stop where you think it “should.”

All five of them are iconic. There are no bad answers. Get assigned a character and perhaps a few supportive words <3

Public outcry works. Protest works.
Keep raising hell!
"It's not Marinette's responsibility to tell Adrien!" Then why does she make herself responsible for every decision made regarding what Adrien gets to know? If it's not her responsibility she shouldn't get to make any calls about it. You don't get to push a shelf over on purpose and then yell: "not my mess!"
Marinette made herself responsible. Now we'll just have to wait and see if the show will hold her responsible.
"Seems to be information Adrien should know" Bitch it fucking IS!
"Honoring the wishes of a dying man" Of a dying terrorist. Thank you, next.
Imagine how Paris population would react to it's Guardian lying to them, tricking them into believing that a terrorist was a hero?
Don't get me wrong, Marinette was in a lose-lose situation and there was nothing she could to make everyone happy, but she chose the wrong choice. Lying to everyone to delay Adrien's inevitable reaction to his Dad being a supervillain, to delay Paris reaction to a famous fashion designer being a supervillain, and all of those reactions will be made worse because of Marinette's lie, not despite it.
Like even Alya is only mad at Marinette because she chose to lie and manipulate everyone, so what does she think Paris petty citizens will do when they find out (unless Marinette was planning to take this secret to the grave)
she has no idea what just happened but she convinces herself it was the cruelest and most sadistic intentional prank anyone has ever pulled on her
Never been a part of this fandom before, but I know the game.
Some spoilers under the cut, maybe?
Overall, the movie is exactly what I'd expected: a slasher flick and not much more. Which isn't bad, UD is pretty good for what it is. I also knew it wasn't an actual adaptation and the plot and characters were different, so I didn't end up disapointed.
The characters felt to me very much like your typical Netflix teenage friend group: I didn't feel much chemistry there and they all felt pretty flat. Which maybe is the point of movies like this, actually: you're there to watch them die in horrible ways, not get attached.
But if it's supposed to be in the same universe as the game, then why did they change the wendigo lore? From what I understood from the tape, you turn into one because of trauma and you eat people BECAUSE you're turning and not the other way around? Feels a bit nonsensical, but whatever.
I caught two references: Josh's file on Hill's desk and uh... the spiritual girl... Maggie? Megan? wearing a butterfly necklace.
Speaking of, I am kinda sad that they didn't incorporate the butterfly effect. Isn't it the whole shtick of the game? Even one small action having some unforeseen consequences would have been pretty neat.
Overall, as just a slasher teenage movie: 8/10.
normalize making sounds at eachother. if i can meow at you unprompted ESPECIALLY if you meow back we are best friends. meow mrrow
