hot take: the problem isnt the manic pixie dream girl. its the boring ass moody emotional leech guy she always gets paired with. we need more manic pixie dream characters. just give them partners who are as great as them or let them be happy alone! no more smart, beautiful, optimistic, kind girls getting paired with actual mosquitoes of men!

Also: make some manic pixie dream boys. If I wanna see romance maybe I wanna see a giddy boy full of positive energy who tells you fun facts about the constellations. Stop teaching boys they have to be moody and sad and they have to find salvation in a dream girl, this is how you breed Bad Men.

My favorite thing about The Good Place…

dsudis:

…That I haven’t really seen people talk about (although they may well have and I’ve just missed it). A lot of people talk about the fact that the show is about people struggling to be good, and about the circumstances and relationships involved in that.

But what I really love about The Good Place is how it portrays evil. 

The demons may be conventionally attractive people, but they’re not sexy, even if they may perform sexiness. They’re not evil in some interestingly baroque way. They don’t have manpain or hidden motivations; humans have those, and humans can learn to overcome their worst impulses and do better. The true agents of evil are just petty jerks who hurt people and increase the level of misery in the world because they think it’s fun. Team Cockroach’s failings are human and self-defeating and kinda endearing, but the demons are not only assholes pulling wings off flies and laughing about it, they have a really annoying laugh.

I don’t know when I’ve ever seen a portrayal of evil that so completely represented it as bad and undesirable, rather than interestingly forbidden and probably having more fun.
