Oh Cool, A Species!

Oh cool, a species!

My boi can never catch a break-

I used to think me wanting a dick was a weird kink thing. Turns out, that’s just the only context I was comfortable thinking about it at the time

I fucking love gaining perspective from other peoples’ povs

Ngl I didn’t expect 2012 April to have so much character and agency. She’s legitimately just cool and initially well written. But well, she’s Donnie’s love interest. (Which is a whole other problem this show has; it’s female characters might be actual characters, but they’re still accessories in the sense they were written into the story to be love interests first, no matter how much other shit they have going on…) That is to say the narrative is trying to drive her character into the ground by forcing romantic tension in near every scene Casey’s in with her, and making her lead on Donnie on with the will they won’t they bs. 2012 April isn’t bad; the writing’s bad to her. And it makes me quite peeved to see because they were doing so well.

You can tell I’m doing good because I’m at a place where I’m remembering how my parents used the r-slur so frequently that I thought it meant just meant stupid and was using the word before I even knew a single swear.

You can also tell I’m doing good because I’m now thinking about how my parents most certainly were not living with that assumption yet very frequently called me and my siblings the r-slur and “special”.
