aquaman is a very kind film

when some fans ask arthur for a selfie while he’s at a bar, drinking with his dad, he agrees–even though he doesn’t really like people

whenever arthur saves people, he takes the time to address them in their language

when mera eats a rose, thinking it’s human food and offers one to arthur, rather than correct and embarrass her, he eats a flower too

when arthur sees his mom for the first time in decades, he doesn’t blame her for being gone, he embraces her and talks about how much his dad still loves her

when arthur retrieves the trident–finally becoming aquaman–he doesn’t fight his way through the guardian, he talks to her and it’s the first conversation she’s had in eons

and his reply to the guardian’s accusation that he’s unworthy, is that he doesn’t want the trident to prove his worth, but to protect the people he loves

the one time when arthur is not kind, when he lets black manta’s father die, he acknowledges that it was a mistake, and it comes back to haunt him in a very real way

and the climactic battle against his brother ends with arthur letting him live. he lets orm reunite with their mom because he knows atlanna loves both her sons and that orm loved their mother too

and he tells orm, who openly hates arthur, that whenever he’s ready to talk, arthur will be there

aquaman is a brash, unabashedly fun movie but it’s also very kind too

i hope you guys see it

It is not necessary to watch Venom to see Spiderverse, no.

I read a note on this that basucally said that it could be evolution pruning “dud lines” that generally have attitudes that dont fit what being humane is supposed to be. It was a note by @nocturan

That’s….actually a pretty good theory as everyone in my mothers line is a piece of shit. (But my fathers line are actually good people tho so idk)

To be clear, my point was that we as LGBT+ individuals are not the “duds” or the “failures”. We’re the contingency plan. Our homophobic, transphobic, and xenophobic families are the duds. My hypothesis is that nature “evaluates” the social and biological benefits of our families, (perhaps looking to ethnic isolation, (I only find ____s attractive), which will inevitably lead to a genetic bottle neck. Or the lifestyles of our ancestors which leave an epigenetic mark on their offspring and leave them ill-equipped to survive in their environment without third-party intervention.) Perhaps after so many generations of damning a genetic line’s ability to adapt to its surrounding environment, natural selection activates whatever genes might result in non-heterosexuality in an attempt to prune the human family tree so that healthier and more adaptable individuals can replace people like our shitty relatives
