you know, one thing i always loved about bojack horseman is that. they have bojack face consequences for his actions. like a lotta times with characters like bojack, they can say or do whatever the hell they want and never get in trouble for it, bc they’re funny or ‘correct’ in the writers eyes. but with bojack? even if it seems like the writers are agreeing with him, which seems to be rare, they don’t let him just get away with it. he faces loss, he gets rejected. he doesn’t always win. hell, it’s actually pretty rare that he does win. and one thing that always struck me is that people leave him. like, how many times have you seen in a cartoon someone leaving the main protag bc of their toxicity, and actually staying gone? hell, even in live action tv, i can’t really recall any examples of this happening.
it just, it’s one of the reasons i can love bojack and still hate the ‘asshole main protag who always says the funniest things’ trope. because with bojack, he’s not getting off scot free bc the writers decreed it must be so.
The internet is the most efficient and used information network today. It blows watching televised news programs and reading newspapers out of the water. It’s very common for dictators to oppress any means of spreading information so the people can’t, educate themselves on the truth, organize, and rebel.
Just thought I’d remind people of this with the FCC vote literally DAYS away. It’s definitely not coincidence.
The only reason he wants to get rid of the internet and take away net neutrality is because then he can control it. So if you try looking up bad stuff about trump, it wouldn’t show up. This is against the laws!!!
REMINDER: INTERNET ACCESS WAS DEEMED A HUMAN RIGHT BY THE UNITED NATIONS IN 2003. TAKING AWAY INTERNET ACCESS IS A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
i fucking hate dating nerds one single time i wore a star wars shirt to see a dude and he was like, “wow are u wearing that to impress me” and i said, “star wars episode 4 was seen by approximately 110 million people during its initial theatrical run in 1977”
Congratulations. You’re dating people who for the longest time have been putting up with bullying, mocking, and scorn for most of their lives. That kind of shit stays with people. So imagine their surprise when they see a member of the opposite sex, who I’m assuming is really attractive in comparison to most people, wear attire that reps nerd culture. Which even though is accepted by the masses (if you’re reasonably attractive) is still rare. Now I’m not saying that you’re not allowed to be scornful I’m just saying expect it and don’t be surprised when you hear it. Ok? OK.
why i dont date fucking nerds: exhibit B
Bolded emphasis mine. Gross.
Stands on nearest chair: ATTENTION MALE NERDS. YOU ARE NOT SUFFERING FROM A SHORTAGE OF FEMALE NERDS. THERE ARE VAST NUMBERS OF US, AND WE RARELY HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING EACH OTHER. YOU ARE WITHOUT FEMALE COMPANY BECAUSE YOU ARE WHINEY ASSBABIES WHO THINK YOU OWN THINGS BECAUSE YOU LIKE THEM, AND BECAUSE YOU SOMEHOW THINK YOU SUFFER BULLYING WHEREAS GIRL NERDS SOMEHOW NEVER DO. STOP PRETENDING YOU GET TO BE ASSHOLES BECAUSE YOU HAVE A “TRAGIC PAST” OR YOU WILL DIE ALONE. IF YOU THINK GIRL NERDS DON’T GET BULLIED IT’S LIKELY BECAUSE THOSE GIRLS DON’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, BECAUSE OF THIS SORT OF ATTITUDE.
also: fucking no one mocks nerds anymore. Game of thrones is the most watched show on tv, everyone and their mom is playing video games, dungeons and dragons is more popular than it’s ever been.
Unpopular opinion: fluff is not pointless. Nor does it make a story uninteresting, unbelievable, or unrealistic. Likewise, angst is not the devil, but it’s also not necessary to make a story worthwhile or interesting.
Plot is driven by characters. Characters are driven by conflict. Conflict =/= angst.
Don’t make writers feel bad because they write angst into their stories, and don’t make writers who stick to fluff feel like their stories aren’t interesting or as worthwhile because they lack a heap of angst.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
