So how is it that second-hand embarrassment is the single most powerful and weakening emotion one can feel from media?
Tragedy? Delicious.
A hard-earned happy ending? Wonderful.
A convoluted narrative? Keeps you glued.
Simple slice of life? It’s entertaining.
Second-hand embarrassment? Hang on, g, I gotta pause this for fifteen minutes, no, I cannot continue watching this right now, I am just not strong enough.
if I see one more post complaining about teenagers ruining fandom im going to yell. like you never did cringy shit as a kid. like you don’t do cringy shit now. who cares. don’t harass people. kids should also not harass people. nobody should be harassing anybody, especially over fandom. y’all go to your separate corners and bitch and moan about the people you don’t like but keep it in your corner
either the kids will grow up and mature like every other generation in the history of humanity, or the kids will grow up and not mature and they will be like you. either way, you don’t have a leg to stand on

I’ve never heard of this story until now, but I like this version 10x better. This speaks to me on so many levels and it’s wonderfully illustrated!
We had to write a Mini Comic for my Illustration Class so I did mine based on The Frog and The Scorpion. Hopefully you all know the story!
But if you don’t know the story… In the original the scorpion stings the frog in the middle of the river. When the frog asks “why” the scorpion says “it’s in my nature” and they both die. I like my ending more.
