How did I forget that Brittany Murphy was in an episode of Boy Meets World?
And then while I'm stuttering and panicking, Astarion just waltzes up, stands next to them with his arms also crossed, and with the biggest smarmiest grin says "Yes, darling, tell us. Who is Astarion?"
All I can think about is Fenris and Solas glaring at me, arms crossed, demanding that I explain exactly who this "Astarion" is that they've heard so much about
Made it one word into a post and just deleted it immediately.
Like....no
It’s insane to me that people still make fun of folks just for being in certain fandoms or liking certain things
Seriously your ‘liking things beyond the norm is cringe’ mentality isn’t going to end up boosting your self esteem in the end.
Your just gonna end up feeling shitty once you realize your a human being and enjoy things too
Like, I get making fun of people who enjoy things that are legit harmful. That’s valid, but being a dick to someone just for enjoying something that you don’t personally enjoy is so legit pathetic it hurts
We’re literally all trying to feel like we have a place in this world. We find people with common interests and enjoy their company while discussing those interests. It’s normal it’s healthy, who the fuck are you to judge someone for it
There's also Yhara Zayd! She discusses various films and TV shows. She's very intelligent, insightful, and has a really soothing voice.
Anyway if you all are sick of watching White Lady (and White Dude) Leftist content talking about popular fandoms and internet culture, check out some of these creators on Youtube. Not an exhaustive list, feel free to add your own. I tried to stick to a similar theme, but there is some variation.
Harriyanna Hook, who focuses on nostalgic properties through the lense of a black woman.
Jacob Geller, a Jewish man who does deep dives into various media. Mostly horror and sci-fi.
Kennie JD, a black woman that does this excellent series called bad movies and a beat every week on Saturday. A series where she reviews bad movies (often terrible romantic comedies and bad horror movies) while putting on her makeup.
D'Angello Wallace, a black man that focuses on internet culture, media, and people of interest. Sometimes shorter videos, sometimes deep dives. He used to be an art channel but now focuses more on culture than art.
Xiran Jay Zhao, a Chinese woman in who looks at media and focuses on the tokenism and appropriation of Asian culture.
T1J, who talks about culture, media, and social issues through the lens of a black man. He also has big Dad Energy.
Lady Knight The Brave, a Jewish woman who does deep dives into various media, often ones that have big fandoms attached.
Ada on Demand. A black woman that talks about social issues and culture, with a focus on pop culture.
Reignbot, a Filipino non-binary person that focuses their content on horror and ARGs and true crime.
Tee Noir, who focuses on various media, culture, and social platforms through the lens of a black queer woman.
“you can’t ship that, it’ll never be canon!”
look, when I was your age, we shipped characters who never even met in canon. uphill. both ways. in the snow.
this should be a tweet but I don’t want to deal with people on Twitter. everyone stop having every character in your fiction talk like their goal is to get an A in therapy.
God I hate economists. Especially when they put get their stupid stinky hands on sociology
