“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!
If the dark academia girlies learned about la CPGE they would lose their minds
idk why people call Emily Henry’s books romcoms. They most certainly are not. Ain’t no comedy when those books hit in you in the mf gut 😂
I’m back at it again
We always joked about that, like, if like, he, if his visa got denied, like, if we were to get - if we were to like, get married... Like, what are they gonna say, like? 'Oh, you're getting married for the visa?' be like no, look, like, just google, just google us, like, look. Look, there's proof right there. Look, there's like, there's fanart, there's us kissing, right there, look. Look. Look at it. Look, you need to do the research, visa office. Look at it. Google it. You don't believe us? You think we're faking our marriage just to get in the visa? Well, look. Google. Look, we have a whole, like, ship, like google.. D. NF. Go to images. Yes. Scroll. They're like, covering their eyes, they're like, what! What is all this?! Like yeah! Yeah. You still don't believe us? We can show you--show you a little worse, if you want. He's like, no! Please! Please! Like, alright, fine. Cool. Let us in. Let him in, you better.

Sometimes I'm just going about my day and then remember Helluva Boss exists.
It's so unique and refreshing after decades of Family Guy and Rick and Morty and the rest of those adult shows that use their status to play their adult jokes like they're still something taboo, like they're sneaking candy.
"Ooh, ooh we're not supposed to do this! Can you believe we're doing it??" They're proud of all their characters being rude narcissists who hate everyone, including their friends, kids, and partners. They're so excited to portray people who are are stagnant in their negative characteristics and have shows where the brightest things about them is their colors. They make light of mature concepts. The art styles are all bland and intended to be cranked out as fast as possible. Inexpressive and mass-produced. Jokes are lazy and bigoted and immature at best. No thought or effort is put in whatsoever.
Meanwhile Helluva Boss is on the other end of the spectrum. "Yeah, we're doing this, that's why we're here. If you're not going to at least try to engage you're gonna get bored." They're proud of showing multiple types of relationships and the varying aspects of them, especially when so many of those are positive, working towards being positive, or experiencing the consequences of characters' actions that might hurt them instead. They're excited to show the depth to these characters and how they affect each other and how brightness is not only something they can show visually but portray in the world too, even in a setting like hell. They occasionally make light of mature concepts, but only when they aren't the focus and have no bearing on the overall episode or character. Otherwise, heavy topics are respected and communicated with the expectation that the audience will treat them accordingly. The art style is expressive and takes time to animate - time and effort is put in. They give the middle finger to bigots and make the entire cast some form of character that would be ridiculed by others. There is an incredible amount of effort and thought put in to this project.
We have an adult animated show that unapologetically and enthusiastically shows queer people and queer relationships without implying that they're inherently bad, shows people who feel like outcasts or experience difficulties with life and are dealing with those, shows difficult and negative people who are developing and growing in real time. It expects its viewers to act like adults and doesn't try to take itself too seriously or too flippantly.
It's an exceptional relief that this show exists, I'm so excited to see it continue.
“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.”
— Neil Gaiman
someone thought it was a good idea to let me have unlimited access to the internet so I'm making it everyone's problem
