prove me wrong, kids -- prove me wrong!

[bossymarmalade]

Thank you to dine and stellamira for your lovely holiday cards! It's still thrilling to get mail at the new place; it means we're there for a good long time and I don't have to keep using my folks' address, heh.

Lori and I mainlined the new Titans show and omg, it's so deeply fulfilling to see a DC property made in a way that we feel on a visceral level! Plus the most perfect racebending of Kori and Gar to ever exist! Plus you-know-who showing up for the first time in non-animated form and before he becomes the woobie asshole that everybody inexplicably adores! Plus Dick Grayson cussing = happytimes for me. Also DONNA EEEEE OMG DONNAAAAAAAAAA

In other blithering on about tv, 1) why is Carla Gugino so goddamn hot and 2) why was there not more Craincest represented in Yuletide. We are watching Haunting of Hill House on repeat, as you can tell. I mean I know it's like the lovechild of The Others and Inception, but hey, it's done in such an evocative way! And I've always been a sucker for characterization over plot any day. Plus, idly, I wonder if more ppl in fandom relate to Theo, or to Luke. Or maybe Nell? I can't see anybody admitting they're a Steve or a Shirley. PS. I am a Steve.

I hear The Children on tumblr are, in their posts about Mary Poppins, tagging a certain actor as #dick van d-slur. I just ... insert gif of Principal Skinner here. Either the one that says "no, it's the children who are wrong" or even better, "up yours, children!"

Tim Hortons has some kind of new flavour Timbit that I plucked out of an assortment and I don't know what it was. Maple? Caramel? Coffee? Toffee? Toffee coffee? It was confusing and I didn't like it. New Timbits have no place in my world.

Now excuse me, I need to go stick my finger in a d-slur.

#dick van worst cockney accent--what is wrong with these precious children? I hope for the sake of the locals that one of them ever have to go to Scunthorpe, UK; Dildo, Canada; or Fucking, Denmark.

Do they get worried about Fishkill, New York, too? Words are so scary.

I hope none of them decide to go into flood management engineering.

I don't know, but I sure am grateful.

I cannot wait for a spare minute to watch Titans! It looks so great!

I'm not even *on* tumblr, and I'm so damn tired of The Children.

I totally want to go thump some heads with my cane, whilst screaming "dyke dyke dyke" (I can get away with that, as I am one)

[copracat]

Wait, hold on. You mean there are tumblr posters who are writing d-slur instead of dyke? Dyke? God help them when they get to modern Dutch masters in their high school art class.

This reminds me of when I was watching an epsiode of Angel on TV in Singapore and something weird seemed to happen to the sound during some dialogue. We eventually worked out that one of the characters had said 'private dick' in a sentence and the TV censors had just cut the word 'dick' without replacing it with anything.

RIGHT??? I was just thinking the other day how it's been too long since she graced my screen!

The children are so very wrong.
