Same old story, different fandom.
Ugh, you guys, the Leslie-bashing is already starting in Parks and Rec fandom, and I feel so weary. She hasn't even broken up with Ben (yet? I'm unspoiled, keep me that way!), but I feel like if she does in season 4, the fandom is going to be a nightmare hellscape of misogyny, and it's upsetting to me. On my Murtaugh List: listening to sexist bullshit that seems to assume that any woman who cares about her career or even her own happiness over a dude is an uppity bitch. I am too old for that shit.
Ladies bashing ladies. When are we going to cool it on that, fandom?
(Haha, the best, most nonsensical bashing so far: I keep seeing people complain that because Leslie said, "If this turns into something real" to Ben after they had been dating a week, she is not taking the relationship with the appropriate level of seriousness. Lolololol you guys have met a human being before, right? EVEN IF SHE WAS MENTALLY PLANNING THEIR WEDDING, SHE WOULD SAY THAT SO AS NOT TO SEEM LIKE A WEIRDO. But no, try saying "When we get married" to someone you've been dating a week, see how that goes over.)
(All the Leslie-bashing from Ben's POV is starting to make me hate Ben, so I think I'm going to have to, like, quit reading fic/watching![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
leslie_ben/following some tumblrs. Otherwise I am totally going to end up writing spitefic where Leslie breaks up with Ben for Ron.)
(Which, honestly, I have been really in the mood for Leslie/Ron fic lately anyway. Whyyy is there not more, they're so married! Blatant mustache discrimination.)
But whatever, the season 3 DVDs came out yesterday! Delightful things from the stuff I've watched so far:
1) The gag reel's revelation that Adam Scott clearly hates Rob Lowe's guts, and that Nick Offerman probably does too. (Offerman is harder to read, but omg, Adam, are you even trying to hide your irritation??) This makes me like both of them SO MUCH MORE THAN I ALREADY DID, Rob Lowe, you are such a jag, I wish you would get out of this otherwise delightful cast.
2) Mike Schur said that he's been friends with Rashida Jones since 1993. THAT WAS THEIR FRESHMAN YEAR AT COLLEGE. OH MY GOD, THAT IS AMAZING. I want weird Harvard RPF of them now where she's way out of his league but he has a huge crush on her, and they listen to Neutral Milk Hotel and go to Lamont together and complain about fires on the red line. Also now I am wondering if this is how Poehler knows Rashida, since Schur wrote for SNL and produced Weekend Update, etc. That is adorable and delightful.
3) Ugh also the commentaries and gag reel totally made me ship Amy Poehler/Adam Scott a little bit. What's next, am I going to write JKras/Jenna Fischer fic, ugh wretchery.
4) Pratt getting a boner when Aubrey slapped him omg. Haha, I don't know if he was in character, but it kind of seemed like not? EITHER WAY, I AM CHOOSING TO BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED FOR REAL, WHATEVER.
5) Adam Scott trying to think of a name for a hot club and coming up with RASCALS. I am still laughing today. Nerdddddddddd.
6) Also other stuff, but I feel like this is getting boring.
Okay, enough fandom stuff for now. In other news, I dyed my hair blond, bought tickets to visit my brothers in Seattle later this month, and am trying to deal with my depression over the 40 degree drop in temperature and constant rain this week. I hate when summer ends.

SERIOUSLY, HOW COULD ANYONE BE ANGRY AT LESLIE KNOPE???? Or pick Ben over her?? Ben, I love you, but tbh you don't have that much going for you and you were lucky to get her.
no subject
(I love Ben to death, I DO, but jeeeeez. Also, you know what, you're not even as nice to her as Dave the Cop was. I SAID IT.)
no subject
(I hope Dave comes back in season 4, Louie CK was SO FUNNY and adorable in that role, I can't even deal.)

I hope if they break up Ben gets lots of storylines of hanging out with April and Andy, the deleted scenes for Jerry's Painting were amaaaaaazing. THREESOME PLIS.
