"You don't know these Jedi as I do," he said, to a former Jedi.
The phrase "mansplain manipulate manslaughter" was actually coined for Nom Anor
i swear to god NOTHING makes me more pissed off then when everyone is like “oouheuehghoughough ough [thing] is so good it’s a classic you’ll love it” and they say it SO OFTEN that you resolve on principle to loathe [thing] with your entire being but when you actually get around to experiencing [thing] it literally IS That Good. physically trembling with rage at the fact that hamlet actually is one of the best plays ever written. DIE
Robin!Steph: *swinging her legs as she sits on a desk* Robin!Steph: When the socioeconomic revolution happens and they kill all the billionaires, I'll miss you the most. Batman, not looking up from the computer monitor: I appreciate that.
They’re right. It’s a load of bullshit, is what it is
so rude that fantasizing about writing alone is not enough to actually get the fic done. you have to actually sit down and write it. insane.
Firestar, to Scourge after he "kills" him: *laughing* You fool... I HAVE SEVENTY ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNTS
As someone with ADHD, this is such a good explanation of how awesome the neurodivergent representation is in this show
I know when people talk about representation in the Owl House, they mean the big stuff, the queerness. And yeah, Thanks to Them has a lot of that, and it was great, but there's one moment in the episode that particularly stuck with me.
THIS SCENE
THE NEURODIVERGENT REPRESENTATION
This is something I've seen people on tumblr talk about a lot. About how the school system isn't designed for everyone's brain, and it shouldn't be a measure of who is the cleverest, or who puts in the most effort, or who is the most worthy.
Luz is clever. Just not at the kind of subjects they teach. And even when she is, it comes and goes, or she can't focus and applies herself too little, or too much and just generally can't operate on the level they require from her 100 percent of the time.
The fact that they finally outright say it, the reasons she's been struggling in her own world, and point out her difference in such an obvious way makes me so happy.
Because think about it. Think about it the way you think about Amity and Luz asking each other out onscreen, or Raine's pronouns. There are children out there right now too young to voice themselves on the Internet, who sit around and watch this show.
Children who might be struggling in school, and see themselves in Luz. Children whose struggles and stories are finally being voiced, and who are being shown that it's okay to feel this way. You're just like this character here. You were built to excell somewhere else and it's okay that you are.
It's satisfying and sad. Real life children won't get to escape to the Boiling Isles, but they might see this scene, and push aside the narrative that they are a failure. That they'll never be more than the problem child.
All because of this wonderful show which voices, inspires, and represents people who have been waiting for it their whole lives.
Please don't think I'm trying to discredit the LGBTQ+ or poc or any other kind of rep in the show, I love it all, I just really wanted to talk about this side of it.
the worst thing about writing or any kind of craft is having an idea you're really excited to make a reality but then you sit down and realize how much work it's going to take to get to that point and suddenly you feel like those two little gay guys in the mountain in the lord of the rings
Enid, discussing whether or not her parents know she’s gay: I mean it’s not like it matters, I’m going to die alone anyway.
Wednesday, without hesitation: You’re right. You’re incredibly annoying.
Enid:
Enid: That was uncalled for.
Wednesday: I apologise. Would it help if I married you?
Enid: You know what? Yes. Yes it would.
Wednesday: Well if I must.
[Later that evening]
Wednesday: And you said I’d have to tell Enid how I felt to convince her to marry me.
Thing: YOU’RE-A-MENACE-TO-SOCIETY.
Wednesday: Why thank you Thing.
Thing: TELL-ENID-YOU-LOVE-HER.
Wednesday: I’d sooner kill us both. Now focus, we have a wedding to plan.
Dangers of working on a set.
That’s what I said.
