  • I used to collect these and keep them in a coffee tin filled with dirt (and air holes) they bred like crazy. I loved those little rollie pollies so much!

    It was the 90s, insects weren’t even on the radar of animal cruelty. Parents definitely weren’t commonly teaching against it. Before anyone @ me. I disagree with it now.

    It’s to show playfulness and that the artist doesn’t feel THAT strongly, imagine how cold the comic would be without it.

    And then consider that women have been raised to be polite and apologetic to the point it is even a habit for most of us. I guess that’s why I can’t really see it as cringe even if I try.



  • Dorothy aka Dot from season 5 of fargo was fantastic imo!

    Ellen (and I guess some would argue Jo) from supernatural is imo. WIthout going into spoilers but the reason I pick her out of a series full of “badass women” is she is the typical tough lady superficial stuff but also extremely compassionate, a supportive and devoted mother.

    Does Leslie Knope parks and rec count? She’s a badass to me.

    Violence, and violent sex crimes against women, are completely acceptable for children *in American Puritan Media Culture. However yeah even that shocks me, but maybe because you worded it like that and otherwise wouldn’t have picked up on how horrible it is because it’s so normalized.

    ***edited to clarify my point because wow for someone who usually rambles I did NOT give enough information



  • I think 7 has a much more relevant story that resonates with this cluster of generations though. I’ve never been a fan of it but I appreciated the remake and crisis core was a fun psp game and it was my only psp game.

    The story though somehow takes government in bed with corporate greed, the climate change, and how greed and people in power continue to exploit and cause damage. Then they wrap it up in the perfect fantasy allegory that can translate through decades. It’s basically been post-Regan consequences in an escalating nutshell.

    Along with that being touted as the best game simply because in 97 it was ground breaking. Like I don’t think if Mikcey mouse would be such a cultural icon if it came out 5 years ago instead of uh… wow damn nearly 100? Woah.

    Oh shit yeah eta all that said yeah I really didn’t enjoy the original but found the remake fun and appreciated the plot line of that uh… episode? Season?
