I keep thinking of Maeve and how she's treated during the show when it comes to her sexuality. Like she's OBVIOUSLY bisexual, from her relationship with Homelander AND the fact she lets Butcher eat her out and then they fuck like. She's very much a bisexual woman
Yet every time I see things abt her in the show and sometimes in the fandom it's like "she's a lesbian!!!!" and it's like on one hand yes let's go lesbians but on the other hand I just wanna scream that she's bi and just w another woman Currently
Sorry but this is so fucking funny. This is supernatural levels of funny. You take one of the shows that showed every other 2010s media how queerbaiting is done and revive it six years later just to kill one half of the ship while the other character isn’t even there, but still can’t resist adding a not so subtle reference to how ACTUALLY the fans were right and the ship was true (possibly, hilariously one sided) all along. Incredible. Truly one of the masters of the game
It’s a strange one but someone requested this on my Insta
Well it's no "unrequited love confession on the way to SuperHell" but I suppose we do have to give "bungled car metaphor delivered in proxy because one of the characters is gone and the other is dead" some credit.
I don't care if it made it boring, Maeve not dying was the best decision. Having a bisexual woman (who's a main character) survive and is now going to go live with her girlfriend happily is the best outcome. No bury your gays here.
i’m not gonna lie liam somehow acquiring the nogitsune jar thing that isaac literally took with him when he moved to france and deciding to keep it on a spice shelf in his ramen shop of all places is a hilarious way to open your movie
Didn't Derek's whole fam die in a fire. To then. Kill him off in a fire.... Like if you had to let him go fine but did it really have to be like that???
Broke: Acknowledging that a character who is an objectively terrible person is also a complex and intentionally well thought out individual with different levels of nuance you can empathize with in some ways while not in others is immediately “woobifying” or “poor little meow meowifying” them.
Woke: “This character is a bad person” and “this character is still a person” are two statements that can, should and do coexist and admitting that they exhibit nuance and depth and are more than just their bad actions doesn’t immediately excuse or condone their bad actions or mean that you’re ignoring or trying to soften the canonical version of the character.
Bespoke: That’s the whole point, that’s always been the point, to be made to empathize with horrible people so you can understand that they can be anyone, that bad people can be likeable, can be interesting, can be human, are human, and it’s scary to think about all the ways they’re just like you and all the ways they’re just like everything you hate, forcing the use of critical skills in media analysis, forcing a confrontation of the duality of man.
Whatever Level is Above Bespoke: But sometimes, yeah, sure, maybe they are a poor little meow meow, what are you gonna do, get a lawyer
