some people really need to understand that there’s a difference between saying ‘they’re a good character’ and ‘they’re a good person’
convinced no one actually reads posts on here
How irresponsible of you Jupiter
me: I fangirl over older guys. sos send help
best friend: what about that guy you're talking to? he's your age.
me: yeah well my chances with Alan Rickman, Peter Capaldi, John Barrowman, and David Harbour are practically non-existent so, he's alright I guess.
I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.

what i love most about the addams family is how, when it comes to what everyone else thinks of them, they clearly have no fucks to give
gomez wants to play with toy trains and likes to stay home and be a hands-on parent with his kids, and that’s fine. morticia likes playing with crossbows and swords and being open with her sexuality and is totally confident in her own skin, and that’s fine. wednesday wants to grow up to entrance men with her womanly charms and dance naked in the town square, and her parents are like, “cool. just go to college and get an education first.” even when their son briefly seems to be “normal,” gomez and morticia are confused and don’t quite know how to handle it, but they adjust and try to encourage his interests and still treat him as well as they do their other children.
they’re just totally fine with going against societal norms and breaking traditional family roles, and it never even occurs to them to care what other people think. they’re happy being themselves and that’s what counts. and they never directly judge anyone else for being themselves either. they’re always friendly to their neighbors and are totally accepting towards a “normal” woman that cousin itt marries, treating her like a part of the family right away.
basically i strive to be as content with myself as the addams family is.
Some thoughts on storytelling.
Listen, listen, here’s a thing… you don’t have to have ADHD in order to use ADHD life hacks if they will make your life easier. Executive Dysfunction, regarless of cause, is a mother fucker that will ruin your life and make you utterly miserable, so if something helps? Good! I am so glad for you! Please do the thing! Life is hard enough as it is without giving ourselves extra invisible hurdles to jump.
So if you’re struggling? Please allow yourself to be kind to yourself. You deserve it, no matter what society may have conditioned you to think. You are allowed to not always be struggling. You are allowed to rest, and make things in your life easier. It’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of self care and adaptivbility, and those things are to always be commended.
Say whatever you want about Zack Snyder, like his work or don’t, but the man is known to always *always* try to cultivate a positive environment on his sets. He’s friendly with his actors, friendly with his crew, isn’t afraid to listen to them and hear their ideas. He’s a genuinely kind person. I mean, there’s a reason so many people LOVE working with him.
And for the past *seven years* he’s been trashed to hell and back because he dared to make a Superman movie some people didn’t like. His family went through the worst kind of tragedy and not only did the bloggers and detractors celebrate it, but they also mocked his attempts to get his true vision of Justice League released after the studios slapped his name on a product that wasn’t even his. Can you imagine being so full of hatred that you have no problem slandering a man’s name if it means him not getting his hands on your favorite fictional characters and then having the NERVE to complain about “tOxIcItY” because he fought for his movie and won?
And now, surprise, surprise, people are finally coming out to talk more openly about the nightmare that was the Justice League production under Whedon’s direction. The man came in as the unwanted director no one wished to work with and instead of being respectful of the situation and trying his best to preserve the work that had been done prior to his arrival, Whedon openly trash talked the director whose movie he was about to destroy and treated everyone on sets like shit. And y'all so desperate to cling onto some delusional and twisted narrative about Snyder that you’re willing to call everyone and their mothers liars instead of admitting that maybe, just *maybe* you could have been wrong.
Amy Adams didn’t even attend the premiere. Ray Fisher was accused of “cloud chasing” for speaking up. Gal and Ezra downright refused to shoot some scenes for Joss. Jason Momoa has always supported Zack. Ben Affleck left because he didn’t want to go through another production from hell and wasn’t in the right state of mind to defend his movie. Henry Cavill had his face literally butchered for the world to see. Junkie XL’s score was thrown to the trash to make place for nostalgia. Etc. Etc. ETC.
Zack Snyder and his cast and crew didn’t deserve this. Fuck you all so much for pretending for so long that they did.
