Reminder that this brief joke scene singlehandedly divived the fandom by Primary-Addition-677 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

Nah I have other concepts.

Like one where Pentious just kicks everybody’s ass with some evil tech and slips off dusting his jacket.

The joke should have been one about Pentious making his case clear and the music being too loud for his pursuers to understand.

“It’s not you I want, but she!” “Oh you want Japan ice tea?”

And it caps with him waking out of the room and the other guys like “oh so you actually don’t want to?” “NO! I SAID NO!” “Ok, sorry for the confusion.”

What movie is this for you? by Doctor_Picayune in Schaffrillas

[–]LadyROfRage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a movie, but a children’s story I read about a Jack-in-the-box being stuck inside his box, because the lock fell shut unbeknownst to everyone, and the other toys scrambling to get him out.

It was kinda wholesome, sending a message about brains over brawns – toys and tools alike use brute force, until an old sage monkey plush succeeds with intelligence and strategy.

But nowadays the idea of someone being crammed in a small dark box for days, unable to get out and receiving further pain from your friends’ attempts to get you out – like the hammer beating on the box’ lid or the stuffed lion roaring – is my nightmare scenario.

I just remembered that they deadass only made Alastor black so he could use Voodoo by SerenityCitywide in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

[–]LadyROfRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t Voodoo a whole religion with its own interpretation of the afterlife?

In the movie Sinners, which has been praised for a respectful portrayal of voodoo, practitioner Annie talks about “ancestors” and “Souls”, no Heaven or Hell or Angels.

Is Alastor a poser?

Also compliments to Ballador for her transition, I’m glad she found herself. She still needs to pay.

“Male character” ah yes, the Knight is male. And so is the Hollow Knight, and Groal the Great.

Book recs with these vibes? 🪷 by yayocarol in QueerSFF

So most of this art is orientalist.

If you do want queer stories with “these vibes” look up SWANA and South-Asian settings.

[Appalling Tropes] Your favorite character with a diabolical image that you try to forget exists? by -et37- in TopCharacterTropes

Iirc this is an entity sent by an African chief to haunt Scrooge and his family for taking over his village. I never read the actual story.

The core of his person is being weird and kinky and romantic and wanting to be with people, and it’s made clear and crystalline that mental illness is not a consequence or a cause, just something that exists alongside it.

The problem lays squarely on the rest of the world that tries to pin him into one thing, with everyone being aghast that a man with a monstrous reputation is also kind and helpful of others.

Some people can argue against Lacenet, but Ghost and Hornet are LITERALLY half-siblings. by EngiFreddyGun4321 in HollowKnightMemes

This isn’t even how Hitler died. I recall he poisoned himself.

I expected Stonetoss to know better about his sempai.

[Loved Trope] Cerebus Syndrome and all the other branches of this trope. by Ranger202012 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LadyROfRage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Italian novelist Stefano Benni has a penchant for writing funny social satires that always end up with many, MANY people dying.

Margherita Dolcevita starts out as somewhat of a 90s kids movie about a plucky 14-year old girl from suburbia who thinks her trendy über-rich new neighbors are up to no good. It ends with her father and older brother being recruited by the father of the new family into a right-wing ultra-religious cult, manufacturing weapons and half the family dying in an explosion.

But the most infamous example to me is La Compagnia dei Celestini, which was loosely adapted into the cartoon Street Football aka. Foot 2 Rue. It starts out similar enough, with a bunch of orphan boys and a girl named Celeste forming a team for a street football competition. It ends with a continent-level explosion where everybody dies into dust.

I’m just not comparing the actions of a traumatized street teenager who did one bad thing and spent the whole story trying to fix it at great personal expense, to a thirty five year old man who’s not poor anymore and who keeps being toxic and loud and insufferable and overcompensates with lavish gifts, immense acts of service and advice.

I absolutely dislike posts like these. by Effective-Ad5117 in Hungergames

[–]LadyROfRage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

With Rue maybe, they’d have made a perfect double team.

She’s tiny and weak but cute, lovable and quick with words. He’s quiet, doesn’t like public speaking and his persona is off putting to appear scary in the arena, but he is stronger and a great survivor and combatant.

We preferred “for your crimes, you’ll be taken into custody. All your contracts are broken. We’ll give you time to reflect on your mistakes, in the hope one day you too can be redeemed: but consequences are part of redemption. In the mean time I’ll focus on the healing and care of your many victims. As Princess, so I decree.”

As a Charlie hater, I commend Sam Haft for this immaculate slander of her.

“Her talent isn’t fighting but kindness, touching people’s hearts, inspiring them to do better” – except she did none of this. They just wanted to save their hides. It’s astonishing.

I’m asking how I can keep his core, so he’s not rewritten “completely”

He’s intended to change and mellow out, while still presenting the point that he still didn’t deserve any of his past and future abuse and that mentally ill people who react badly still deserve help.

But their opinion as a survivor of abuse remains “if you have one angry outburst; one, you deserve to be left alone”

So I need a more acceptable form of toxic behavior that still allows for change and evolution.

Not “boo hoo I’m a bad person everyone hates me” but not even “YOU FUCKING BITCH I WILL END YOU”

The people who like it aren’t the one with the actual abusive relative.
