-W: I warn you that I have serious trouble sleeping

-E: If you want we can talk until I fall asleep, how about it?

-W: That's not a bad idea

-E: Okay, come here and let me hold you.

*Later*

-E: And that was my week while you were suspended, what did you do?

-W: ...

-E: Are you asleep?

-W: ...

-E: Oh, that's a real sweet face, huh? Okay, let this lone wolf take care of your nightmares *kissy kiss* but I won't let you forget this when you wake up

This is gold ya'll

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

im going INSANE thats MY POST.

I am still so salty about Power Rangers 2017.

People weep and moan for well written representation in film and I’m like “Power Rangers 2017 gave you a team with only one white member, a questioning queer girl, and an autistic hero that doesn’t have ‘magical autism’. He was just autistic and was just like, “Oh, I am autistic, so I’m not going to pick up on your sarcasm.”

They didn’t make autism into a superpower or some life ending tragedy, they had a character with autism who had that inform his character. Billy wasn’t ashamed of this. He was bullied and bad at social cues but the only shame he ever felt was guilt over his reaction to his dad’s death which makes perfect fucking sense.

Trini was in a questioning, confused state and her sexuality is just there and causing her some difficulty. Not because she might be gay, but because she is not sure and doesn’t know how to express this to her family.

Zack was the ultimate subversion of the model minority bullshit people assign to Asians and Asian characters. He was a tactless thrill junkie processing his own hardships.

Kimberly had a nuanced narrative regarding bullying. She was a VERY grey character who legitimately did something awful.

And Jason’s story is basically the ultimate disection of toxic masculinity.

Saban was even hinting that Tommy was going to be a girl in the planned sequel. WE MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN A FEMALE URBAN NATIVE GREEN RANGER. ANYONE who knows Power Rangers can tell you how huge that would be. Tommy was the fan favorite and one of the most interesting characters. Yeah, we might have gotten a superhero film with a female Urban Native lead.

And y'all just dismissed this movie and made Krispy Kreme jokes. Newsflash: the movie was making Krispy Kreme jokes that were better than your Krispy Kreme jokes. If you honestly think “Krispy Kreme… it is a magical place” was supposed to be taken seriously, you are lame and boring and probably like Air Supply.

And gaaaah! Do you know how bad this movie SHOULD have been? Take this from a girl who draped her room in Pink Ranger shit for two years: Power Rangers is pretty fucking dumb. I love it, but nuance, pathos, and realism WERE NEVER CARDS IN THIS FRANCHISE’S DECK. Then this fucking movie, which I went into expecting a lazy, stupid, nostalgia bait had like… real characters, and conflict, and a script written on empathy. People actually worked their ass off to not only make a good movie, but one that was genuinely diverse and respectful and EMPATHETIC.

The movie bombed and y'all wrote it off despite it being one of the most diverse, heartfelt, and nonstereotypical films in recent memory.

Now I’ll never get to watch Trini and LADY!Tommy flip back their helmets to make out with “Go Go Lesbo Rangers” playing in the background. I hope you’re happy with yourselves.

I remember when the trailers showed up and everyone was trashing the armor design and how it looked like another lame gritty reboot. And that’s just not what the movie was.

It was such a weirdly good movie. Like, a modern and more adult Power Rangers should by all rights be a bad idea, and instead we got this wonderful gem of a movie, with steady and confident pacing; actors with excellent chemistry playing characters with real depth. It recognized where it was absurd without ridiculing its subject matter. I felt like everyone just committed to making the best and most fun movie they could and it showed.

And Rita, gods I can’t say enough about her, chewing up the scenery and delivering her lines with exactly the right amount of over the top camp and real threat. What a star. And then when it was time to cut loose, they didn’t hold back at all, full tilt old school theme and candy coated colors and all.

Yeah this movie is fun and has real heart where a cold product placement ought to be. It is unironic and joyful and deserved so much better and yes I fuckin love it.

<3 I CHERISH THIS FILM <3

do you think people who are into reylo wanted fiona to go through with the wedding to lord farquaad

Avatar

no, you know what fuck this. fuck you. we need to talk about the FEAR in max's eyes here. Like all he wanted was to be loved by someone. by ANYONE. And to be a fair and decent leader. like wow Shrek and dreamworks i expected better from you than a message about how abuse victims ultimately deserve to be eaten by a big dragon. i suppose you think that's feminist because she's a girl dragon. what about fiona's sexual empowerment? Fuck this. max deserved better. i've had it with this franchise. whatever at least we have fanfic. new chapter of my farqiona kinktober entry will be up on friday

So I’m in the garderobe at the ye olde market wherein I toil wiping my hands minding my own business, and I notice this maiden scowling at me. Note I’m wearing my hair in a medieval pageboy style and have a 'seize the ogre' tunic on. So I’m like

“make thy quarrel known wench”

And she just says

“Are you a fucking farqiona?”

and she started screaming like some wilde beaft at me so I was like 'stay thy tongue!' and her mother runs in and says 'verily let it be known the lord farquaad and the princess are to be wed!' and had.her thrown in the stocks for all of duloc to see her shame. And bought for me a whole suckling pig to apologise. a like, most merry day indeed

“I was making a dead person who wasn’t romance-able!”

Marisha. Marisha. Sweetie. You made a girl with crippling self image issues who didn’t see herself as lovable, who couldn’t imagine herself being attractive to anyone physically or emotionally, who had a deeply codependent relationship with the one person who was never afraid of her. And you somehow didn’t think this would be CATNIP to BAFTA award winning queen of D&D romance Laura Bailey? Girl, you practically gift wrapped this for her.
