I think I'm gonna hold on for the hope up until the finale, bc I still think the timing is off, but if Bobby is really dead idk if I will keep watching this show even if they do it buddie canon
This is super shitty, this was supposed to be my comfort show
You're telling me that you watched a movie with a 15 years old afro latino in the main role, who has a good and loving relationship with both of his parents and is trying to find himself in the middle of what he wants and what his parents want for him who saw the uncle he was super close with die cause he was spider man
And then hes told that he is a mistake he wasnt supposed to be spider man but because he was he'll have to watch his dad die too
And because a 15 yo boy refuses to sit and watch the most important man in his life his DAD die you decide that the hole movie is copaganda. Really???
I am incapable of seeing a couple posting selfies kissing and not finding it cringe
yeah to me it feels like the popular idea that John was homophobic/beat his kid(s)/taught them that having emotion makes you weak is just ppl choosing to interpret 'abusive father' in the shallowest most black-and-white movie villain way possible. when the ways he fucks them up in canon are so much more interesting and complicated.
There's been some discourse going around that tries to connect Neil Gaiman writing about problematic things and him being awful to mean that everyone who writes that kind of thing is also awful or should be placed under suspicion.
Correlation is not causation. You could just as easily blame the fact that he wrote about mythology and fairytales. It has the same amount of weight as blaming dark subjects.
The truth is, there have been tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of authors who write/have written about dark/problematic/complicated subjects who have never hurt a soul and who never will.
Now, you could say people who have endured trauma and abuse are more likely to write about dark subjects. I'm not positive but I think this bears out in statistics. But again, the vast majority of people who have suffered abuse and whose past abuse informs their writing do NOT go on to perpetuate that cycle of violence.
I know we all wish that predators were easy to spot. But if they were, they wouldn't be predators. They'd be criminals operating in broad daylight.
The disturbing fact is that truly bad people who operate for a long time are incredibly hard to spot. They survive by manipulating those around them into providing cover for them and carefully craft personas to make it difficult to accuse them of wrongdoing. They will also use fame and money as a shield and choose victims with the least ability to fight back.
Using what happened in your crusade against dark topics and your push for censorship in fiction is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and risks making writers part of a witch hunt.
It also makes it harder to spot actual predators because it perpetuates the idea that these people have easy tells. They do not. That's what makes them monsters.
In retrospect, can we pick out certain themes in his work that aligns with the allegations against him and hints at who he really was? Yes, but hindsight is 20/20. Someone else could have written about the same subjects and been a saint of a human being.
Billy said that he can sense Tommy but can't find him so it gives us two theories
1) Tommy also find another body (From other teenager who died at the same time) but he's too far away and Billy magick is not strong enough for him to get an exact location (or very umprobably Tommy also has a sigil in him)
Or
2) Tommy didn't find a body but his and Billy's Souls are connected in a way where Tommy can't leave without his twin and the reason Billy can sense him but not find him is because Tommy is kinds like a ghost
Sometimes I think I hate the SPN finale and then I remember that Jensen initially fucking hated it so much that they got Eric Kripke to gaslight him into thinking it was good. Only for him to immediately go off and create/produce/act in a spinoff series after the show ended all so he could fix the shitty writing. No one hates the SPN finale like Jensen Ackles hates the SPN finale.
Taxidermy really freaks me out, not so much when they do it in museums but it really freaks me out when normal people have it in their house. I don't know why but its depply unsettling
I just noticed Lilia is the only witch who actually called them a Coven. "I needed you, my coven"
And in the next episode Billy calls Agatha nothing but a covenless witch (and she doesn’t actually denies this).
I really don't understand some people obsession with teacher X studant romance. Its not cute its creepy
