I was thinking about why Star vs. The Forces of Evil is so great, and basically it's because it initially showed the monsters as evil and made it look like Eclipsa was gonna be a big vilain, and then they turned out to actually be really nice people who get treated like shit for being different, and the racist Mewmans are mostly only that way because they think they're supposed to be, and their actions have consequences that hurt everyone.  And nobody we've seen so far is shown to be irredeemable (except Toffee because he knows full well how evil he is and he likes it).

You'd think with the whole "fiction affects reality" craze, someone would've figured out how to learn from this fiction that it's dangerous to assume someone is bad just because other people talk about them with scary words.

not posting much lately because I have too many thoughts and emotions and I can't seem to untangle them the right way

While I hope more people will come to this site... it is nice to have a quiet and peaceful space.  I like how the reading page is a separate thing I have to click rather than just automatically seeing other people's activity as soon as I come here.  Like, obviously I want to see it, but this way I feel like I have breathing room.

more people need to be active here because this is like the only place besides discord where I even want to be active anymore

Cross stitch tradition tells you to make the back of the piece look almost as nice as the front but don't give a reason other than "you're supposed to." People who just do it for fun (as it should be) will say it doesn't matter how the back looks. I say it does matter, but for an Actual Reason, which is pretty much just FUCK attempting to shove your needle through specific points in an incomprehensible pile of stringy fuck and LITERALLY HOW does anyone let themselves keep doing that

I still feel the need to post things on writscrib and probably will never not

how to save drafts here:

- make a "drafts" tag

- make the post private

- copy/paste into a new post if you ever feel like actually posting it

because it's annoying to rely on just the autosave which only saves one draft at a time, if you're like me and just sort of pile shit up

People naturally compare Disenchantment to Matt Groening's other cartoons, but really it's more like Gravity Falls with Matt Groening's art style and humor

I mean, it's not fair to expect it to BE Gravity Falls either, but... literally the only things in common with Futurama so far are the art style, a couple voice actors, and Luci's Bender-ish personality

the thing that amuses me about gay moments in children's shows is when the fandom is collectively cheering for them to the point you're not even seeing any other spoilers
