Hot Takes That Will Probably Get Me Called A Bigot On This Hellhole

what i love most about the addams family is how, when it comes to what everyone else thinks of them, they clearly have no fucks to give

gomez wants to play with toy trains and likes to stay home and be a hands-on parent with his kids, and that’s fine. morticia likes playing with crossbows and swords and being open with her sexuality and is totally confident in her own skin, and that’s fine. wednesday wants to grow up to entrance men with her womanly charms and dance naked in the town square, and her parents are like, “cool. just go to college and get an education first.” even when their son briefly seems to be “normal,” gomez and morticia are confused and don’t quite know how to handle it, but they adjust and try to encourage his interests and still treat him as well as they do their other children.

they’re just totally fine with going against societal norms and breaking traditional family roles, and it never even occurs to them to care what other people think. they’re happy being themselves and that’s what counts. and they never directly judge anyone else for being themselves either. they’re always friendly to their neighbors and are totally accepting towards a “normal” woman that cousin itt marries, treating her like a part of the family right away.

basically i strive to be as content with myself as the addams family is.

I don’t care if your post is about a literal nuclear war, if it contains the phrase “and you better not scroll past this” or something to that effect, I’m zooming right by

on the bus home a random dude started talking to this lady who was minding her own business like "hey you're wearing a mask" and she was like "I sure am, why aren't you" and he said "I don't need one, it's too hot out there" and she said, I swear to you, in a tone that somehow managed to be humorous yet pointed, "it'd be hotter in hell"

she is my hero

ah, teenagers

Pretty sure the overlap between people who don’t wear masks and the people who don’t use their fucking turn signal is a circle.

me: male feminists have to put their body on the gears and use their privilege to confront true wrongness in order to be useful

john oliver: *publicly lays into dustin hoffman about his sexual misconduct*

listening to bing crosby. this is what serotonin means 

Academically speaking, I still find the whole “anti-shipper” movement to be fascinating from a sociological perspective.

You have what amounts to a extremist purity cult whose beliefs align nearly precisely with those of Conservative American Christianity in terms of sexual purity politics (admittedly with some additional flourishes that I’ve watched develop in real time), but is mostly composed of minority members whose sexual-and-gender identities are opposed and oppressed by Conservative American Christianity.  Additionally, their tactics also mirror religious pro-censorship groups (such as Warriors For Innocence), but their rhetoric is entirely secularized and derived from leftist theory.

Did they arrive at this structure via convergent evolution?  Via socially dominant concepts in the greater socio-cultural space that they occupy?  I doubt it was by direct emulation but the possibility does exist on some levels.

Chernobog: If you found out you had one day left, what would you do with it?

Morgan le Fay: Say goodbye.

Loki: Something illegal.

Set: Accept my fate.

Eris: I would message ten people on facebook and say if they didn't forward the message to ten people, I would die tomorrow.

Set: By Ra, Eris! Seriously?!

Loki: That's fucking awesome. Can I change my answer?
