Straight cis perisex able-bodied neurotypical people using aids designed for disabled people (I.e weighted blankets, grabby claw, sock holder, etc), going to therapists occasionally to keep up their mental health, using fidget toys, choosing to call their bf/gf their partner, using pronouns besides the ones associated with their gender just because they like it, and doing a million other small things that make us fitting in and being accepted a little bit easier is in fact exactly the type of support these communities need, and will ultimately help us so much more than gatekeeping ever fuckin will
Thinking about how incredibly brave it was of Suzanne to make the main love interest a kind, sensitive, emotionally intelligent, disabled, stocky blond in 2008 when the trend at the time was skinny, tall, lanky, sarcastic, hates-everyone-but-main character, rageboy. And how absolutely genius it was to have BOTH of those types in the same series and have Katniss choose Peeta. Groundbreaking.
With the drop of the music video on the Netflix app, I’ve noticed that all the Nimona advertising is keeping all the Ambrosius stuff very close to their chests 👀
I’m sure his stuff is very plot heavy & needs to be saved for the movie but please Netflix where is my Glinda-coded prettyboy 😫
Lemme break it down:
Friends of youth who, after an encounter with their corrupt government, became sworn enemies where one of them is framed as Pure Good™️ and the other as Pure Evil™️. Featuring-
Dark-haired nerd with a physical disfigurement that the government uses as propaganda to “prove” their wickedness. Wants to expose the government for its lies and hypocrisy, and after being pushed to the breaking point, genuinely embraces evil for a hot minute but then feels really bad about it.
Blonde drama queen who betrayed their friend and became the favorite of the government. Trying to balance keeping up appearances for the government and protecting their friend on the down low while also being eaten alive by the guilt of what they did.

the fact that reboots used to be like thirty or forty years apart and are now instead like 3-10 years apart is absolutely ridiculous. like are we so trapped in a capitalist hellscape that instead of us naturally cherishing a beloved piece of media like it deserves and looking forward to NEW stories with NEW universes we have to watch the same thing over and over and over again with reboot after reboot after reboot until that media has been so sucked dry that us as an audience are literally sick at the mere mention of it
this whole oceangate submarine fiasco has actually led to a lot of interesting talks and debates about the grey area of human empathy vs the inclination to recoil at the bizarre behaviors of the ultra wealthy and how people struggle with both ideas and is actually very interesting to watch play out in different types of people
