  • I hope her creative resistance doesn’t get incorporated as part of the brand of her workplace.

    EDIT: To the downvoters:

    Brands have begun to incorporate some imperfections into their marketing. For example the Deutsche Bahn, our german railway company, are sometimes making jokes about how their trains are notoriously late. Are they making their service better? No. Or not noticeably so far. I think McDonalds have also made jokes about their broken soft ice machines and they did not do anything to make them more reliable. According to iFixit, they and the company making the machines have actively fought against a small company that wanted to make a tool to making fixing these machines easier.

    So that’s why i hope that our wig-wearing heroine doesn’t just get incorporated into the marketing instead of being allowed to show her pink hair.


  • Oh look, another Daria fan community!

    For context: “Daria” is a 90’s show starring Daria, a snarky girl with a penchant for pessimism, cold, hard observations about the world aaaand some occasional vulnerable moments showing that beneath her misanthropic shell lies an empathetic girl. The way people comment on positive moments shared in your community absolutely reminds me of Daria.




  • In GZSZ the plot really turned bonkers, especially over the years.

    Here are a few bullet points:

    • Introduced gay guy
    • Introduced guy that turns out to be bi
    • Introduce girl so guy can learn he’s bi
    • Have him learn he’s bi through practical experimentation
    • Make him decide for one of them
    • Ignore previous events until plot-convenient

    Another arc that happened over the span of 1 to 2 years:

    • Introduce bad guy for established woman
    • Make woman fall for bad guy
    • Oh oh! Bad guy is cop!
    • OH OH! BAD GUY IS ABUSIVE!
    • Continue abuse until breakup
    • Introduce dad for woman
    • OOOOOH OOOOH! DAD IS ACTUALLY STALKER!
    • Bad somehow redeems himself
    • Bad guy ends up throwing dad in river, woman and other dudes are witness
    • Nobody tells police
    • Dad returns a few episodes later
    • Bad guy loses job as cop because turns out police doesn’t like coverups (unrealistic af)
    • Bad guy now becomes dollar store punisher because somewhere in between all of this gang is introduced
    • Bad guy stops gang
    • OOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOO! THERE’S A CHARACTER WHO DIED AND THE CHARACTER ISN’T DEAD AFTER ALL! WE LEARN THAT THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF DOLLAR STORE MISTER RABBIT KILLING EXTRAS! CHARACTER GOT A CRYPTO WALLET AND MISTER RABBIT WANTS IT BACK!
    • BAD GUY IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY WITH A MULTI-EPISODE TACTICAL ESPIONAGE AND HACKING ARC!
