Lemonyellowyoshi - Down Where The Yoshi Roam

So, I thought up some ideas for a new Bioshock game. So, Take Two Interactive, if you want the name/ideas, I'm willing to negotiate ;] I'm probably going to write some fan fiction, if I have to. Haha.

Tumblr is a weird place, honestly. You'll be scrolling through your dashboard, and, then you'll pause at a post and think, "So THAT is what I'm 'supposed' to look like..." And, then you keep scrolling. Sometimes I feel like these impossible standards are kind of overwhelming. You think "No one ACTUALLY looks like that..." But, then you notice the countless images of "attractive" people, and it's like, "Well, apparently a lot of people look like this..." I'm sure most people on here struggle. Either you wish you looked more "attractive," and wish for more attention, or, if you're "attractive," and have a lot of attention, you never quite feel like enough, and you fear that they'll see you "for who you really are," and they'll all leave. On top of all this fear and self-loathing, both sides objectify and criticise the other. The more "popular" and "attractive" people, despite their own fear of rejection and judgement, often can obtain unfairly high expectations, and reject and judge others. The less "popular" and "attractive" people, angered and hurt by the rejection, judgement, and hurt, easily can objectify the more "popular" and "attractive" people, and fail to see that they're just as scared and hurt as everyone else. There are rude, angry people on both sides, and, it appears we're all just scared and insecure. NEVER let anyone tell you that you're ugly or worthless. Everyone is beautiful and valuable. Will everyone find you attractive? No. But, NEVER allow anyone to dictate how you should look. We're all beautiful, unique, diverse people, and, don't let other people's infectious fear and judgement weigh you down. No one has the right to tell you how to look. NO ONE. I love you all, you beautiful lovelies! If you're feeling down, hang in there! You WILL find someone with the wisdom and sight to see how beautiful you truly are, and don't you dare settle for anything less!

Remember that one time, on my old text blog, where I said that Elementary was stupid, as was Lucy Liu playing Watson, and all these women got mad at me, and called be sexist?

I do…

It was the most hurtful, confusing, misguided hateful rampage I’ve ever experienced. Haha.

For the record, I’m definitely NOT sexist. I believe in equal rights, equal opportunity, and equal pay. I think both men and women are essential to any team, for both often provide two equally important different sides of thinking. I think women can be lovely, beautiful people, and, I feel they should be treated with respect and love. I think EVERYONE should be treated with respect and love.

That all being said, I was mad at CBS for jumping on the Sherlock Holmes train. I feel like BBC’s “Sherlock” helped renew and re-envision Sherlock Holmes for the modern times. It was the perfect balance of respectful homage and modern creative artistry. As a lover of literature, I take modern visual representations of books very seriously.

In my eyes, CBS saw something successful, they took it, and they tried to replace the gay jokes with heterosexual jokes and tension. That upset me. It has nothing to do with how I view women, nor how I view Lucy Liu.

I see now it’s unfair to bash Elementary too much, for, people have different tastes and likes. If I wasn’t so mad at CBS, maybe I’d be open to a woman Watson. But, in the beginning, the whole thing felt cheap and too soon, do you know what I mean? I thought, “Oh, geez, here comes all the hetero tension…”

The gay jokes/bromance was an interesting take on Sherlock’s and Watson’s friendship, and, instead of truly reinventing that relationship, it seemed like CBS cheaply traded it for something else.

I guess I was just being defensive and territorial. Sorry, Elementary fans! I hear the show is great, and, I’m so happy that you enjoy it! I hope you now understand where I’m coming from, and, hope you see now that I’m not actually sexist or a Lucy Liu hater.

Even The Snarky Fox got into the Mean Girls spirit, on this day, its 10 year anniversary.
