the xmen are so special to me and this is why. i am queer, i am cradle catholic, i am named after an xmen.
when i was born im sure my father never imagined that these stories and characters that are my namesake would reflect my experiences- but they do and that makes it all the more special
queer themes in x-men my beloved. Angel binding his wings. Bobby’s parents asking if he’s tried just not being a mutant. Nightcrawler and catholic guilt. The existence of cherik. Everything with Scott/Jean/Logan. Mystique and Destiny.
the weird thing about having a horror podcast as a piece of comfort media is being sad and going "you know what would make me feel better? listening to that traumatized British man read out people's deepest fears and horrible experiences! that will cheer me up!" and then it WORKS.
me when i punch my dad to death
me when i recommend something to someone and they end up not liking it
gorgug is also the greatest wizard of the age
can we take a sec to talk about the Bad Kids digital footprint. because like
fig: was a popular cheerleader in middle school, then a rebellious teenager who probably had at least one viral twitter thread, then became a world famous rockstar, and was revealed to be the daughter of a very high ranking devil
kristen: literally the chosen prophet of a very well known and worshipped god, died and renounced helio, created her own god, then later renounced that god as well
adaine: the child of very prestigious and important high elves, then the literal oracle, and killed the lunch lady on the very first day of school
gorgug: at first a nobody, but then becomes the drummer for a world famous rock band, as well as a star athlete on the owlbears bloodrush team, and then an expert artificer, not to mention the fact that he consistently kicks ass
fabian: the son of bill fucking seacaster, conventionally attractive and very very rich, another star athlete on the owlbears bloodrush team, killed toxic masculinity, and dances now
riz: notoriously weird, one of very few (if not the only) goblin in aguefort (if not in all of elmville), the youngest licensed private investigator probably in all of solace, not to mention the fact that he actually ate kalvaxus, and now works with angel fbi agents
and then they post a viral video with a tabaxi that only some people could see, then a viral livestream of all of these children absolutely wasted and having a crustacean-themed rager, and then another viral livestream of them in the fucking forest of the nightmare king battling the nightmare king himself and the previously mentioned tabaxi where some of those actual children literally fucking. DIE.
like what the fuck that’s so wild what
id like to submit this to the “accidental renaissance” dropout ™ collection
voyeur needs to be seen to be believed. the scariest movie i have ever seen.
the reason critical role is so good is because every campaign features at least one cast member creating a character that they intend to be doomed by the narrative and matt and the rest of the cast going don’t be an idiot, Our Love Will Undoom Them. like in the explanation of percy’s final playlist, taliesin wrote, “Cheers to a happy ending for a character intended by his creator to be karmically irredeemable. May we all be so fortunate.” and just, Yeah.
