The casting call for Artemis Fowl described him as a boy with a “fun-loving, open heart” so you knew before they even landed their eyes on the first mediocre white person the movie was irretrievably fucked
The casting call described him as what now
last i checked back in 6th grade, artemis was a fuckin dick of a child
“emotional intelligence” artemis fowl literally would rather die than express an emotion
im pretty sure he actually has on multiple occassions
im reblogging this again because i just remembered that artemis fowl hates being a Human Being With Feelings so much that he emotionally and mentally devastated *several* psychologists so badly that they gave up the profession, just because he didn’t want to admit that his father being declared dead and his mother falling into severe untreated mental illness such that she couldn’t recognize him on most days might, maybe, have upset him a little.
He literally found a way to kidnap a fairy and hold her for ransom in order to use half of said acquired funds to buy his mother a cure so that he wouldn’t have to admit to anybody that his mother’s mental health actually made him feel sad. You know, like any fun boy with a sense of humor.
There’s a narrative about abusers that, while rings true for probably a lot of people, falls short in my experience. Not all abusers are calculating and malicious. Some people just. Think abuse is the proper way to interact with human beings. (Can’t get someone to do what I want? Emotionally manipulate them! And then say that they’re the manipulative one!) not all abusers intend to be abusive or even know what they’re doing is abusive.
That doesn’t mean the abuse is any better for the victim. It usually means we question it more. Is it really abuse if they didn’t mean it? If they tell us they love us? If they’re not malicious? If they just don’t know any other way to behave?
Abuse just has many forms and they all suck balls
This is true. Shitty and unhealthy is just who they are and I believe it’s more effective than using a carefully constructed facade. They believe that what they’re doing is normal and they make you believe it’s normal. It’s so ugly.

“The relationship between Adora and Catra is the defining one of the show … It’s so complex and complicated between the two of them, and they still have such a long way to go. These two people mean everything to each other and find themselves on opposite sides.”

It doesn’t make us go crazy. We just don’t understand the why. No one has ever satisfactorily explained why bagged milk is better than milk in jugs.
There is no literal reason since the jugs we use are just as cheap as bags and with a bag you need to put it into something as soon as it’s opened because otherwise you’re crying over spilt milk
I don’t understand why y’all use jugs though. They’re so impractical.
No they’re not. You have a self contained stand able container.
With a bag you have one floppy boi
We have holders for that. There’s no real difference.
Wouldn’t it be crazy if there was a way you could hold milk without grabbing a separate holder? Some sort of solid plastic or cardboard container, that would be so cool.
Then there are Soviet milk pyramids. Those are the oddest milk containers of all but they’re really cool.
Thanks! That’s horrible! Curse you for sharing!
i want a Soviet milk pyramid
[ wording it up down here but I’m here to say that there are multiple reasons to use bagged milk over cartons or jugs, not the least of all being that they’re individually easier to dispose of, take up less room in trash, and are far easier and more cost effective to recycle. More than that, bagged milk is easier to transport, and presents far less wasted space than rigid containers, but because bagged milk is typically sold in sets of three within a larger bag, more milk goes unspoiled before consumption because rather than buying a big-ass jug that gets contaminated, ruined, and thrown out, if there’s a problem with the current bag, you only lose 1/3 of the milk you paid for.
That triangular carton is new to me though, thanks I hate it ]
