i can't believe pacific rim fans are not only reading a shitty movie novelization but getting mad at people who don't and don't use characters from it

wow

i still can't get over the huge explosion of trans newt fics

something about that is just so hilarious to me

migratory trans headcanon fandom is the new migratory slash fandom

lol for real, there must be something about small scrubby guys or men who are perceived as small scrubby guys even tho they have no canon appearance

i've seen so much trans newt, trans cecil, trans sniper, and recently a rash of trans pickles from dethklol

how is cecil a small scrubby guy thoooo

also tbh trans carlos seems way way more common

i think mb the reasoning behind that is that it's kind of like ppl perceive night vale as being more liberated and weird so it'd be cool for trans!carlos to move to a place where he's accepted more? like how harry potter lives in a cupboard under the stairs in the muggle world but he's a celeb in the wizarding world igss

and also cecil thinks he's attractive so it's kind of a wish fulfillment igss

i can't get over newt fics, period

i mean

does tumblr know who charlie day is

do they know what kind of comedy he usually does

why would you even pretend anything about him or his characters is sj approved

the actors aren't the character tho

and what's fucked is afaik vanessa is a throwaway character that isn't fleshed out in the book but on the author's tumblr ffs, but the actor/audience who hasn't seen either are all just racist misogynists for ~erasing~ her.

as opposed to the author who didn't bother writing in other female characters in the movie.

excuse u del toro said something feminist once

i just dont get the posts telling me pacific rim the movie is so progressive because the writers made up all female teams

ok but none of them were in the actual movie

lmao these assholes need to learn to show instead of tell

~well we had all these ideas for other female characters but decided to give screen time to mashed potato face instead~

~but raleigh is not just your average white dude action movie protag~
