This is a the funniest fucking post I have seen in a year because first the spelling and backstory makes you think he got a role as one of the beatles, and then after the preposterous reveal she says that isnt actually a problem, and I don’t think anything more could be funnier than the actual post cutting it off as she makes it all about the couch. Comedy writers please study this.
method acted so hard he recreated the family rejection
so here’s something i never figured out when i first read the sandman comics as a teenage girl, but which consuming the netflix show as a grown man is making extremely clear:
why the Corinthian is like that.
and it’s brilliant! it’s really cool. so in a series absolutely crammed full of very realistic queer representation– lesbians and bisexuals and trans people of all kinds!– you have morpheus stating outright that nightmares are meant to teach and challenge dreamers, by bringing subconscious fears to light, where they can be faced and overcome.
and the Corinthian has mouths for eyes. he devours eyes. he eats what people use to look at him like that, and what he used to look at people consumes them.
and he’s gay, he is a creature made by and for gay men, by personal preference all his victims are gay men, and being gay can be fucking terrifying. his eyes are mouths that eat those eyes that don’t look away from him in time, because he is the absolute mortal terror of knowing that the gender you’re attracted to–your own gender!–is extremely likely to kill you for looking at them. decades, centuries, of men looking at men and knowing this could kill them. eyes meeting eyes and wondering if this ends with the man you can’t stop looking at coming and kissing you or coming and killing you. in the eighties there was AIDS and there were more queers than ever coming out and saying ‘no, we’re here, look at us, we’re dying, look at us, we’re alive anyway, look at us.’
you’re gay in a world where that’s not okay. do you close your eyes? do you pull them out? you like to look at men. you can’t stop looking at men. you love them and they scare the hell out of you. some of them might love you. some of them will kill you. you keep looking. who’s looking back at you? can you survive it?
the Corinthian is that nightmare. and he’s perfect.
did he really fall victim to the alt right pipeline or was he already insufferable and just looking for ways to justify his behavior

An old professor of mine had this great thing. He said, “On the level of individuals and civilizations, personality predates ideology.” Meaning before you were a fascist, you were a bully and an asshole.
Serebii could never fucking happen on the modern Internet
Serebii was made on geocities in ‘99 by a child. It was one of the first and continues to be one of the best resources for Pokemon. If it were today it’d probably be a wiki.fandom page.
