The best female characters are the ones that you get so upset over that you have to close the tab and pace around
reblog to tell your mutuals they’re lovely as fuck
a fun fact which I believe no one noticed. the whole comic is referring to my old art back in 2018-2019 where these things first appeared. so they've come a long way here

Reblog if you too are a real amiable sort of freak with a very wide smile, just keeping pace.
I love Wikipedia subsections that are just absolutely unhinged out of context
Peak comedy right here
“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.
me: oh fuck yeah, i’m a writer. i cant wait to share all my writing, my characters, everything i’ve worked so hard for
someone: hey what do you write about
me:
At first Netflix said, come write for us. We’ll save your cancelled shows and write about whatever niche story you want. Our algorithm says people will watch it!
Then a few years later they said, regardless of our promises or contract obligations we are cancelling shows after two seasons without telling anyone. Turns out no matter how loved a show is, we get less subscriptions after the second season.
How many subscriptions did we bring you? Netflix won’t say.
So writers started writing two season shows. Just give us two seasons, Netflix. Like you promised.
Then Netflix said, oops sorry! Turns out your show didn’t premiere at #1 and the views in the first day weren’t what we wanted so we’re cancelling your second season.
What were the numbers? How many people watched our show? Netflix doesn’t say.
Then, they did something extra special. They started taking shows and splitting their first season into two halves. Inside Job was not two seasons. It was one season split in half.
Oops! Sorry! The second half of your first season didn’t do as well as the first half, so now your show is cancelled!
Why? How many people? How much money? These companies are making cash hand over fist and they refuse to tell people the truth: people loved your show. Loved it. But some corpo exec wanted an infinite money making machine. Do you know how long shows are in production for before you watch them? Years. Like, 5+, even 10+ years. And Netflix gives it less than a week before they decide whether you’re getting cancelled.

y'know sometimes fanfiction is just an increasingly convoluted series of setups to make characters sit around and talk about their feelings, and that’s ok
We need to talk about the three times Arthur dies/nearly dies because I can’t stop thinking about them, especially John’s reactions. How in part four John is just resigned and quiet, because they failed and now they will die and that’s all there is. In part nine he comforts Arthur and tells him they’ll meet again because they might be dying and they might have failed their mission but they still have each other, and they will, even after death. And then there’s part twenty seven, John is desperate, screaming for Arthur not to die, because now he loves him goddamit, and the mission isn’t important, Arthur’s life is, and so painfully simple. How he goes from goodbyes and apologies to just shouting for Arthur with so much fear and sadness, because they aren’t simply two people who need to work together to survive, they love each other, and love is loud, and messy and I need to lay down for a minute
Ruby Bridges is 68. This is not ancient history. Not even close.
I know Ruby. She's a really nice person. The idea that they would try and write what she did as a girl out of history is shocking to me on so many levels, the simplest of which is just, but don't they know how lovely she is?
