men in greek mythology? scoundrels. just terrible. woeful social skills. murderers. kidnappers. violent misogynists. most of them… never described as handsome so we have to assume they were ugly.
narcissus? unproblematic. beacon of transformative self love. king of the swerve. gay icon. couldn’t recognize his reflection but neither can my dog, we aren’t holding that against him.

i’ve been thinking about this response for the better part of 2 hours and it hasn’t gotten less hysterically funny to me

Brexit sucks but I admit it’s a tiny bit amusing to grasp just how UNAWARE people were of what a fuck-up the idea was.
These are people who are unacustomed to racism having direct negative consequences for them
“We didn’t mean for us to be stopped from going places, we meant people from other places was to be stopped from coming here! Outrageous!”
UK had a temper tantrum and thought leaving would make people do whatever they wanted and instead other countries said “well alright we’ll just deal” and they are STUNNED by this

I’ll be honest, I still “hear” most of them as American, even when it makes a certain expression sound strange (like Whirl starting a conversation with “Oi oi!”). With a few exceptions – I hear Perceptor, Tarn, and, for whatever reason, Krok with British accents; Misfire and Anode are Australian; and Getaway is, of course, canonically from Space New Zealand. 😀
I’m really sick of the way certain sections of the Transformers fandom treat the issue of accents in Transformers.
The canon introduces a new character who has, say, a British or Australian accent, and inevitably you get assholes going,
“What?? This doesn’t make sense! Transformers don’t have accents! They’re giant transforming alien robots, they don’t even learn language the same way we do!”
“But… but what about all the other characters’ accents?”
“They don’t have accents! Transformers are ACCENTLESS!!”
“But they clearly do – they all speak in the same kind of standard mid-coastal American -”
“THAT’S NOT AN ACCENT THAT’S JUST THE WAY NORMAL PEOPLE TALK!”
“Uh, I don’t think that’s really -”
“I KNOW WHAT’S BEHIND THIS. DAMN SJWS FORCING HASBRO TO INCLUDE DIFFERENT ACCENTS. IT’S RUINING TRANSFORMERS!”
“But what about all the characters from G1 with non-American accents? Like Perceptor and Outback and -”
“RUINING. TRANSFORMERS!”
Now imagine you’re a little kid in, say, Melbourne who’s just seen your first-ever Transformers episode, and you’re absolutely in love. It’s the best thing you’ve ever seen. And best of all, one of the characters sounds like you! You never see heroes who sound like you on your favourite TV shows!
And then you go on the internet. And you see people telling you that people like you are ruining your favourite show for everyone.
I love those discord chats where you only know one person’s name so it’s like “yes these are my friends dragonfucker, gandalf, the raven lord, 6000 bees, and George”
So we know how two of the favorite superhero peril tropes are A) Threaten a Loved One and B) Villain unwittingly taking the in-civvies Hero as a hostage. Venom and Eddie’s situation presents an opportunity for a special hybrid of both.
Because honestly, both Venom and Eddie have all the subtlety of a firework stand in a bonfire and X Evil Organization is bound to tail the burly man-eating monster to Eddie’s home and
Goons, breaking down the door: Alright Brock, no more games
Eddie: What
Goons: Don’t play dumb here, Eddie. We know the truth and our employer is determined to have a long, violent chat with the bastard eating all of his men. So we’ll make this simple for you:
Goons: Where is your 10 ft tall cannibal boyfriend?
Eddie:
Venom, inside Eddie: Eddie. Eddie, tell them where he is
Eddie, going thru every stage of grief and inventing new ones: ………………..um
Venom, all up in Eddie’s everything, every slime cell of him laughing to tears: Tell them where your boyfriend is, Eddie
