Welcome back to The California Kings! Today we’re playing Star Trek Online, which is what got us started playing games every week with each other. We don’t play this game seriously. Like at all.

So enjoy the blowjobs.

Does Gamora pass the Red Letter Media character test?

Does Gamora pass the Red Letter Media character test?:

Remember when RLM did their awesome Phantom Menace review? Out of a number of smart observations, the smartest HAD to have been the amazing sequence where they break down why the Phantom Menace characters sorta stink while the original trilogy…

You know, it took me two viewings, but I finally got into Gamora. At first, I was angry by the end: this isn’t the Gamora of the comics. Gamora is a boss bitch, a badass, a walking, talking, living weapon of destruction who wouldn’t be taken down by a human and a raccoon with a pet tree. Nope. She is the epitome of La Femme Nikita In Space, and she is deadly with those knives. Of course, Gamora began as a villain in the comics, and eventually became a hero, albeit one that still slices and dices better than the Ninja Turtles. Still, her portrayal in the film was far weaker and much more soft than her predecessor in the comics; I was shocked. And even though I’ve come around and can accept how she is in the films, I was super disappointed that we didn’t have the chilling, violent badass who comes around and finds herself. I mean, in the prison scene alone — ugh. The fact that she was captured, I just — ugh. That’s just not Gamora from the comics. I get it, I get it, it’s an adaptation. But come on Marvel, this is your new space franchise. This is your Black Widow in Space! Black Widow wouldn’t have been captured like that, so why Gamora?

“I already said too much. I already shared too much, and I want all my secrets back. I hate getting close to people these days. I always regret sharing too much, caring too much, doing too much, feeling too much.”

Unknown (via insanity-and-vanity)

There are many, many days where I feel this way. I have a friend who sometimes wonders about why I feel like this, about what they can do to help, and it’s difficult because whenever I do feel like this, the answer is, “I want to be alone.” It’s hard telling people that I care about that I want to be alone, or left alone, but the truth of the matter is that it always boils down to being alone. Not going out and doing something, not forcing myself to be around people, but just being alone and really, truly feeling that ache that tells me to hunker down and hide.

It’s okay to want to be alone. It’s okay to be alone. Just don’t forget who’s outside your walls, patiently waiting for you to come back out and say hello again. But if anyone bangs on your walls and demands you to come out, because you should be a certain way or whatever, you don’t have to respond to that. It’s okay to be you. It’s okay to hide. Just don’t hide so deep that there’s no coming back.

This really is every representation debate in sci-fi and fantasy ever.

"We can’t have people of color in this story - its in the middle ages."

Imagining dragons and elves and hobbits is fine, but imagining a world not inhabited entirely by white people? That would be unrealistic.

The more I hear “Anaconda,” the more I realized that Nicki Minaj thought that this was a serious song.

Sometimes I worry that all I do is revert to the system default of just giving everyone else what they want, and I deny myself out of habit.

I don’t know how to break this. I don’t know how to say no. I want to say no. I don’t want to say no to everything, I just want to say it when I want to.

I’m a mess.
