Cookie Thread Act 1: A Cookie in Time

i’m honestly indifferent towards stuff like that, i’ve never really been inclined to watch it lmao

Euphoria is up there for trans people. specificially in the fact that the trans char (jules) is shown in a couple of het and les relationships and every single het relationship has an undertone of “this is terrible and she is being taken advantage of” and her les relationship with the show’s MC is shown as “yeah this is totally right”

like her whole arc in s1 is her going out with a bunch of older guys on grindr and being taken advantage of by a specific one, and then his son finds out and he ALSO takes advantage of her and catfishes and blackmails her. but then it’s revealed later that he genuinely did have feelings for her and it’s just

yuck. not great rep for “bi but predominately het transgirl” which is the category i consider myself falling in

perhaps it’s a consequence of the show though because there are no healthy relationships. It’s also terrible, like, relationship rep in general because literally everyone is in some kind of abusive drug-fueled relationship.

bleh yeah I don’t like misery piles for lgbt+ characters in media

If characters suffer unduly I want to feel soulless not enraged at the writers for them doing it

Kylo Ren redemption and them shipping reylo being the creepiest decision in the sequels

The start of every good relationship is attempting to probe the mind of your future lover

inversely it’s a huge win for “i can fix him” girlies

not that I’m immune to that (I’m super thirsty for Dimitri from FE: Three Houses) but like come on why did the writers int on that

why did the writers [do literally anything in the sequels] is a question science cannot answer.

I was confused with everything regarding this character

ok but you do realize they fly now

tiger king is great mlm rep

I think family guy quagmire’s trans mom (Ida) is actual unironically great trans rep (a… shock coming from Seth MacFarlane) and I could also talk for hours about this

it’s quite great

like it was a huge shock to my system like holy shit
