This dorkass loser carries the bow and quiver around for four whole episodes, uses it ONCE, gets frustrated, and throws the FAMILY HEIRLOOM BOW onto the ground, never to be seen again.

To be fair, Sorsha carries it around for a whole movie and doesn’t even attempt to use it, so this is clearly genetic.

This is the kind of payoff I like to see.

My theory is that Kit has always been terrible at archery but carries the bow because she’s in denial.

She also carries it around because she thinks it just looks really cool. Which it does.

I haven’t even talked about where the hell her quiver may have gone to, that held all of her FOUR ARROWS.

I like to think that she also just yanked that over her head, probably getting caught in her cloak, as they ran for their lives. Just Kit, casually stripping off her accessories during a battle.

Controversial opinion: I think Kit is GREAT at archery!

Their first night on the road they ate possum stew for dinner. Do you stab a possum? No. How did they get the possum? Shot it with a bow and arrow. How many of the party had bows? One and it was Kit.

Can we also note that she’s running as fast as she can (and the episode suggests they’ve been hunted by the Gales like that for a while now), nocking her arrow and then running backwards, quick aiming and shooting and on top of that she would’ve hit her target full center if the Scourge wasn’t able to smack the arrow out of the air. Clearly, Kit IS great at archery. I totally agree with @the-grimsqueaker in this case. (Her logistics could use some improvements though.)

oh my gd these two films came out on the same day? should tell everyone? should we throw a party? should we invite gender essensialism

should we invite insensitive jokes about some of the largest massacres in human history that effects people to this day

On the one hand I think it's sooo funny to be like "Maybe it's kind of YOUR problem for even SEEING this stuff." Like sure let's just do this for everything now, let's all start passing the onus of responsibility away from people who do shitty things and onto people who witness those things because the real societal problem is uh [checks notes] curation

On the OTHER hand this person successfully managed to avoid one of the biggest viral phenomena of the year involving pink mushroom cloud imagery and official apologies from Warner Bros to the people of Japan, so I can't say I'm not envious

I need to draw men being obnoxious to their partners and getting In The Way right now immediately.

it is it's nature to Be In The Way.

Just... Pick them up??? Grab a blanket, wrap 'em up, then move them out of the way.

the consequences of doing that:

just needed to make a conclusion to this

tbh this post is Just for the it/its crowd now. keep shining.

(but for real it makes me happy other it/its folks are getting a lil joy out of an it/its character like. casually existing and having a fun gender.)

weird liberal feminists: see, women are oppressed for being feminine! for being pretty and wearing dresses and makeup and long hair and for being sugar and spice and everything nice which is BETTER than being a gross unfeminine person!! ugly mannish women are just as bad as men and pretty men are just as oppressed as women!!! being BEAUTIFUL is the source of oppression really!! what’s a gender role? weird radical feminists: no, no, women are oppressed because biology! for having ovaries and a vagina! some body parts predispose you to oppress others and others predispose you to be a victim! gender is REAL and IMMUTABLE and BIOLOGICAL and INEVITABLE. but we can abolish it. By enforcing a rigid binary based on sex characteristics– actually fucking useful feminism: okay but hey, what if we looked at gender like we do every single other form of exploitation? What if ‘womanhood’ is a somewhat generally-defined social class, culturally constructed specifically to be exploited for certain types of labour for the benefit of an (also-socially-constructed) oppressor class? You know, like the fact that employees only exist as a group because capitalists exploit them for their labour? What if gender is imposed and enacted and enforced and not indicative of anything innate or inborn? What if oppression doesn’t arise from bodies? What if instead it is enacted on and through women’s bodies and our bodies (especially trans women’s bodies!) are fetishized, held to impossible and conflicting standards, treated as aberrant regardless of which standards they do or do not meet, and used to justify our oppression — like other time-honoured forms of oppression, like racism or ableism? oh wow it’s like when we take a materialist rather than an essentialist view of gender we can actually come up with useful analysis that’s actually consistent with literally everything we know about the way gender has been constructed differently in different times and places!

went to look up the DJ Crazy Times guy and realized, unfortunately, that he's the same guy who's been making those That Kid Who's No Fun videos since 2021. his No Fun Kid character is just an ableist caricature of autistic and other neurodivergent people.

from what I could find, he never acknowledged it or apologized for it, even after autistic creators addressed it (and were thoroughly harassed) back in '21, and his caricature spawned several others of the same premise.

he also keeps bringing this character back - the most recent No Fun Kid I could find was in January of this year, so I can't just say "well maybe he left this character behind!" since he goes months without an upload and then, surprise! it's back!

can't have shit in Sarajevo

Probably worth mentioning that he's also an American who only speaks English, and the joke for the new music video is that he's singing in broken English anyways. I was under the impression he was actually a European DJ writing a funny song parodying 90s Eurovision on purpose but that's... Not the case. Unfortunately. Given this dude's track record it's almost definitely just intended as a xenophobic joke
