Just... don't assume 'everyone knows' something because it's wide spread knowledge.

The internet is very good at shoving us in bubbles and letting us assume everyone else is in that same bubble.

A friend and I saw Shelby Oakes, a film by a popular film YouTuber I had never heard of until looking into the film.

Hell I *barely* knew who Dan and Phil were until a few weeks ago.

And I'm so terminally online it's actually bordering on a mental health crisis.

(Also if you find yourself on social media for hours and hours reading takes you don't agree with because you're terrified of being judged for having the wrong opinion and maybe checking just one more random opinion will help... this is not healthy behaviour and you should examine this.)

So if you're doomscrolling right now and see this - take a break?

Any hoodle, I'm still around and I am still doing comics (kinda), I just... can't be on social media as much as I was anymore. It made me a less healthy and less pleasant person to be around.

Like listening to them talk and banter reminds me of watching kids TV hosts like Ant and Dec except they're gay and make content for adults.

My current fixation is the Dan and Phil situation mostly because I find their story to be such a fascinating clash between fan culture and the realities of growing up queer in the 90s and the fears and stigmas we all had ingrained into us.

Also they're just really charming?

Nor should I in all honesty.

I now just do the healthy thing of record voice notes of my thoughts on movies and tv shows I watch.

Or ramble to friends about it.

Learning I dont need to blast my hot takes to the world all the time.

Instead of sharing every bit of HP news to express to your followers who probably dont engage with HP that they shouldn't engage with HP, we can instead just not?

The world can live without dunks on a new HP product.

Example include a story about a woman who claimed to live across the street but when the guy checked she didn't.

Okay, plausible.

AND THEN HE SAW HER WALK INTO A GRAVEYARS WHERE HE FOUND A GRAVESTONE WITH HER NAME ON IIIIIIIT.

Nope. No. Nah.

My cheat sheet to figuring out what's "fact" and fiction on this show so far has been "is this really poorly written or over written?"

Works so far XD

Seriously that two parter of Doctor Who was just filled with terrible American accents.

So I can't rag on Garfield too much.

But wild he'd go on to have a career where a lot of people didn't realise he isn't American.

I am sat here trying to figure out how any of what they removed made her 'slutty'.

Shocked they didn't have her wearing a long dress to cover those sinful ankles.

Screw Q5.

But we're long since past *assuming* that'll be the case when we see multiple heroes in a movie.

Not every movie is overwritten garbage or had a whole ass villain foisted on it like SM3 did.

Only Mr Terrific gets a lot of focus and even then he's still just a supporting cast member whose arc is appropriate to that role.

Yeah, if we had original stories and character arcs for the Justice Gang? That'd be bad.

Superhero films have lots of named characters is only a problem if you feel the need to give them all big arcs with back stories.

This is why Superman didn't suffer from having so many other heroes.

They were used as supporting characters to Supes plot.
