WHAT IN AI-CREATED HELL. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

How to have 12 nervous breakdowns in 10 minutes?

Here's how! 👇

"Tho Leto is usually pretty tight-lipped about his intimate relationships, he's generally not shy about proclaiming his love for the ladies"

Not a very strong start but it gets even better... 😂🙄

"There were rumors that Leto was controlling and possessive"

Okay well that sounds true I'll give you that. 💯

"However it was unclear if Leto and Johanssen were actually dating or if they were just friends who were close"

This AI chick sounds like an eche. 😂😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️

And JL HAS COMMENTED IN AN INTERVIEW THAT "HE WAS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH OLSEN AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT COS SHE WAS SO PRIVATE"...???

Bitch WHERE?! WHERE IS THIS INTERVIEW?!?! 🧐🔎🔎🔎

"Katy Perry said in a Billboard interview that she and Leto were very close" 😂

Not even once has she said that literally anywhere! 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

"He was a great listener"

Of his own voice yes but that might not be what this "interview" was hinting at. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also did y'all know he and NINA SENICAR dated for A YEAR? 🤔

Pretty sure he would be just as surprised to hear that as I was... 🤷🏼‍♀️

And btw:

Reedy sure looks... different. 🤔😂

In fact, let's have a special round of applause for the manip folks out there cos this shit right here... 👇😂

Outstanding work. 😂👏

And don't even get me started on the "he and Valery Kaufman were first spotted together in 2015" bullshit cos I swear imma break skulls. 🤨🤬

And "THEY had decided to end things for good"...? 🤔

Might have been more of a one-sided decision that one... 😭💔 #LTD #NNLY

But yay Daria snuck in there too! 😃🙌

Fucking annoyed that they always us the wrong pics of "her" tho... 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

And as far as him and his newest paramour go...

For Christ's sake LEAVE NANA OUT OF THIS SHE HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH!!! 😭

But this... THIIIIIIIIIS. 👇👇👇😂

"The age difference between them has led some people to speculate they are not actually dating, but are simply friends"

Echies.

They are called ECHIES. 😂

Literally the only "people" on the planet who would ever think that. 😂😂😂

And like all good horror movies, this one saved the best shocker for last... 😱😳😲

That...

That's the scariest sentence I have ever heard uttered in relation to Jared Leto. 😶🫣

All in all that clip was a stark reminder that AI is bad and we need to kill it with fire sooner than soon thx u and I'm gonna go lay down now. 😂🫥🔥

i know this is the autism website and everything but you guys HAVE to learn better reading comprehension

#like i understand that autism can cause a lot of difficulties with interpreting what ppl mean bc i struggle with that a lot #but like you have to learn how to pick up on context clues. and implications. this is high school english 101 #and like genuinely learning about and studying how to better comprehend non direct communication in books will help you communicate better #irl. i promise. #and no neurotypicals are not making up all their language conventions and expectations for no reason and just to torment autistic ppl. they #do in fact serve a purpose beyond the surface level #rambles

I just . Repeating "characters are tools" you end up erasing so much about arashi's character and motivations and interactions with other characters if you avoid using her pronouns aka avoid showing she's transgender. It's on the same level of frustration with the translators i had when i saw they had Mika speaking standard English, there's a LOT that gets lost if you don't show those little things.

#and sure maybe some things wouldn't matter bc - i don't read many knights stories so beyond what's mentioned ab arashi in stories i've read #like those featuring mika and such #so i can't say for her but i can say for mika - because a lot of it is touched upon in ! which isn't getting translated #mika talks about his accent and dialect and such the most in ! HOWEVER #you still have idol story 3 where he talks with Tsumugi about how people perceive him because of his accent and #about how he feels like he's letting people down by not conforming to the positive stereotypes associated with his speech #and if you make him speak the standard language you completely lose that layer #if you erase the fact that Arashi is transgender you completely lose that layer of her characterisation and motivations #she literally has a story in !! where she talks about how much it hurts her to always be cast as the male character #in princess-knight themed shoots when all she wants to be is the princess #but how are you gonna get the full context of that if the story refuses to give you the context you had in the original #ie. that Arashi uses the (hyper)feminine ''atashi'' pronoun and that her speech pattern is one associated with young women #in ! she has a line where she asks i believe koga to not use the slur used for effeminate/gay men for her #because her name is arashi narukami and if anything she wants to be called arashi-chan or naruko #which is also additional context lost if you don't translate it right - the -ko suffix in a name is traditionally feminine #i'm no expert either but i'm a writer and i plan on working as a translator #and these are things that - if lost in translation - will impact your understanding of the entire story and/or character #whether it will have you completely misunderstanding it or just being confused is irrelevant but it's like #in my opinion as a translator it's your duty to translate even the subtext #if you need to show that arashi is transgender you don't need to say it (even tho #she did once say ''i will never be the woman i want to be'' iirc and #i do have recollection of mika telling her ''i don't really get it but you're a girl right?'') #but you should give us the same chance to come to the same conclusions which is to say. translate naruko to the best of your abilities. #idfk Nary maybe ? i feel like the -y ending is usually diminutive rather than feminine but. #something to that tune. and give her a girly speech pattern. it exists in english too. #slang can be associated with gender too #like you guys get it right.

ok but music is actually the most beautiful thing in every way i’m gonna turn into the sun. music and people and the world and oouyggghhhh

#guy who finally got round to watching the zelda orchestra concert uugghhhfghh #you don’t get it you don’t get it the fucking sheer what humanity??? joy???? love???? in being in a music ensemble like an orchestra #everyone is individuals but right now each person is music as one and we’re all music and the audience are crucial #because you too are the music and for at least one brief moment this is all we are. the sounds and the melody and the rhythms and the music #vvvbvhbbbbvbhbbbvv #cggghjbvvhjjbvb. AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #and the music has always been there abd the music will always be there as time continues to pass #there will always be music in any given moment #but the fact that we come together to specifically create and celebrate music is beautiful beyond understanding #and the truth is there’s music in everything ever because every living thing has some intrinsic level of rhythm and melody #the way you walk. the way the wind blows the sound of your voice the birds singing the sound the leaves make the rain on a shelter #it’s all music. it’s all song #anyway i’m gonna go explode or something gbjbvvghjffch music music i love you music #ezra likes music #<- nee fucking way

“You know Mozzie is an orphan. An orphan's gonna wonder about his parents, so he imagined they were spies. Occasionally, something happens that triggers Mozzie to revisit his childhood. When Ellen told me my Dad was corrupted, I ran from the truth and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Mozzie tells himself these stories to maintain his faith in the world. His faith, however limited, is all that separates a man with a conscience from a man without one.”

#white collar #mozzie #neal caffrey #one of my favorite episodes #i appreciate this show for taking the subject more seriously than most while adding an interesting twist to it #i always think deep down this is what lies beneath the surface of many conspiracy theorists #granted not all of them are Mozzie and it's easy to ridicule them but when you really think about it #how exhausting must it be to live while feeling constantly disappointed or threatened by forces beyond your control? #Mozzie is terrified of his own childhood truth so he ends up rejecting the entire concept of universal truths #I love that Neal knows Mozzie enough to understand that indulging in his theories and ideas (unless they pose a threat to his health) #is sometimes the best thing he can do for him #Neal knows Mozzie is a good person and his friend couldn't bear living in a world that shuts off too many possibilities #Not even the most absurd ones #Including the one in which their parents at least somehow loved him #The fact that Willie adopted a son makes the scene all the more touching tbh

"you know a lot about star wars"

OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA SIR. WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN ANYWHERE NEAR MY BLORBO GLUP SHITTO.

#all i did was name drop mando factions #like. you have to understand that i know a significant amount of mando'a and have spent hours on wookiepedia trying to understand din's #affiliation to death watch via children of the watch. tbh i still don't really understand what's happening there. #anyways i wouldn't say i know much about mandalore? i know basic history incl dral'haan/excision and galidraan and tarre vizsla but not much #beyond the fact that these events/people existed. #like i don't even know enough to have an actual opinion on satine #how can anyone claim to know anything about mandalore esp republic/post-empire era while not having an opinion on satine?! #interacting with Real Life Fans is always such a reality check lmao #star wars

i do think its kinda funny when i see someone in the year of our lord 2024 talk about vocal synth music like its all gone downhill since like 2010 because like dont get me wrong i love a good niconicodouga-ass 2008 ass vocaloid joint BUT also like. the past couple years have had the most fascinatingly creative and expressive uses of vocal synthesizers ive ever heard in my life DJFSKHJDFS dont write it all off just yet!!

#usually i only see that from people who havent actually listened to any vsynth music from the past 15 years so i understand why they got to #that conclusion. and also usually theyre people who didnt listen to much vsynth music in the first place LOL they just dont know #but it is still a little funny. brother there are things beyond your wildest dreams if u just look #like some personal highlights: the stuff by rinri - particularly their use of the meika girlies #dont carry our memories away is LIFECHANGING the whispers. the spoken parts. the BELTS #plus the haunting and unrelenting instrumentation. fantastic song #and naisho no pierced's propose + birthday + gift sort of trilogy of songs. gift especially has been unreal #again the dynamics of soft intimate whispers to belts but also those fuller high notes with edges of growlyness. #plus the songs just generally rock. and those LYRICS. absolutely intense like physically painful and frightening like #yearning and codependency and possession. and the tuning and production just amps it up more #OH and slave.v.v.r has been doing crazy things for even longer but i only started getting into his stuff recently and holy shit #love eater is like. the scariest vocaloid song ive ever heard not because of the lyrics. but because of the tuning #im like. scared. i cant stop listening to it. the heavy synthesized breathy main vocals and whispered harmonies plus the VOCAL FRY #i didnt realized vocaloid5? i think? has a vocal fry option built in i heard? thats crazy #but specifically in love eater the fry and growl is amped up so deep and loud and clear compared to everything else it like #emphasizes the artificiality of the voice while also amping up the expressiveness #its awesome. and on the older slave.v.v.r songs i heard i will hit you 8759632145 times with this piano. also so fucking cool #addicted to that song. 1) its a great jazzy rocky piano tune with this piano flourish at the end of each phrase that sounds fantastic #but also 2) the lyrics are insane. using kanji to write english?????? #people are doing wild ass things with vocal synths rn you guys #this isnt even getting into some of the really unique synths themselves too. adachi rei is awesome i love that shes just like #the perfect inbetween of sample based and reconstruction based vocals. shes a sample based synth #but her samples were drawn by hand LOL shes like dectalks granddaughter to me..... #a really good use of adachi rei is iyowa's heat abnormal/heat anomaly/whatever its called ITS AWESOME thats what it is hjrkfdgfd #i think the fact that vocal synths can be so realistic and clean and noiseless out the gate now has made people really stop worrying #about like. realism all together and looking more into expressiveness. omg vocal synth modernist movement

[luxlightly]

There's a question at the heart of philosophical debate for centuries which is "is it more important that people do not die, or that I do not feel I have a hand in killing them?"

It's the basis of the trolley problem. Do I choose to let 4 people die just so that I could say I didn't personally kill one person? Which is more important? Their lives or my conscience?

From an outside perspective, we feel the answer should be obvious: that in choosing not to act, we are still acting. We are still choosing to allow 4 people to die. But, in the moment itself, it's hard to see, and we recognize that. The idea of being in any way supporting a single death is more than most people's conscience will allow. It's easier to let go of the switch and distance ourselves from the responsibility of the result.

But when the price of inaction becomes hundreds of thousands of lives, the gap of morality grows. When you have seen hundreds of thousands die already and you know hundreds of thousands more will, the idea of putting one's own personal sense of moral purity above those lives becomes harder for me to understand or defend. Especially in a case where, if one doesn't act, everyone on both sets of tracks dies.

Conceptually I do, of course. It's not like morality is a simple issue, especially in the face of mass atrocities. There's a reason the tolley problem exists, after all. But in practically, I will always have a fundamental difference in morality as people who think like that, when it reaches the scale it has.

It's still my choice, regardless if I choose not to act and I won't ever allow more blood to be spilled just to say my own hands are clean of it. To me, nothing seems more performative than that.

#I'm not guilt tripping #it's just the facts of the matter #I understand the mentality that says 'id rather the person who loudly wants to commit genocide against multiple groups be allowed to do so #than to say I supported someone who was complicit in genocide' #I just don't agree with it #I hate the situation I'm in more than anything #I hate that every election becomes an exercise in choosing a person I find so morally disgusting it makes me sick #just so that someone whose platform is 'the other guy doesn't do nearly enough genocide. we need to do 10x more' #it's fucked up beyond belief #but unless someone actually does more than posture about alternatives #it's all I can do and I refuse to do nothing #'you'd be able to live with yourself?' #maybe not #but if someone else lives because of it #then maybe that's enough

[sonknuxadow]

I'm not too big a Sonknux shipper (I don't really ship anyone with Sonic full stop) but for the sheer amount of Sonadow and rabid Sonadow shippers that popped up, I'm half tempted to create a 2:30 hour long Sonknux cinematic animation out of spite. It would be a quirky romcom with musical scenes which starts with Knuckles first meeting Sonic and ending with them kissing in front of the Master Emerald at their wedding.

i dont really have a problem with sonadow necessarily or people making jokes about them being gay in the new episode, i also went "🏳️‍🌈?" a few times while watching it. im mostly just annoyed that its everywhere at all times and so many people seem to have sonadow as their number one priority always and dont care about anything else.. like if you search sonic prime on here its just sonadow sonadow sonadow with not nearly as many posts about what actually happens in the episode or theorizing about what might happen next or even discussing sonic and shadows interactions beyond just going "omg sonadow!"... like is that really all you guys took from it? you dont care about anything else? just shipping? ok...

#and like i understand most of the sonic prime posting rn being about shadow and his interactions with sonic #because thats basically all this episode was. sonic and shadow running around #but again. most people arent even actuallytalking about any of it beyond the ship jokes. which is kind of annoying #also i kinda talked about this the other day but its so wild to me how sonic and knuckles are regularly doing the gayest shit imaginable #and most people dont care. but sonic and shadow have one or two gay moments every once in a while and the entire fanbase explodes #like im not saying you cant prefer sonic/shadow over sonic/knuckles #and im not trying to start an argument over which is better. i think the real answer is for them all to hold hands with eachother #i just dont understand why sonic/knuckles is so much less popular? #because in the actual games and comics and shows they have moments like this way more often than sonic and shadow do #but like i said most people dont really care. and when sonic and shadow so much as stand near eachother theyre suddenly canon boyfriends ?? #if sonic and shadow did anything sonic and knuckles have done they would get like 10 times the reaction from it #and i know this for a fact to be true because people are currently shitting themselves over sonic carrying shadow #when sonic has carried knuckles multiple times before and barely anyone cared #like hello is everyone but me in some weird alternate dimension where shadow and knuckles have switched roles or something #sonic and knuckles are literally what people THINK sonic and shadow are i swear to god #asks #sonic prime spoilers

#i haven't addressed yoongi's situation yet because i'm honestly still not hit by it i guess. like it didnt gwt to me yet #i dont think ill ever love anyone the same as i love him you know what i mean #he has been the first reason of my self development. like he literally raised me??? i learned from him how to be the person i am today #and its like im saying goodbye to a family member. the thing is i have never griefed anyone's absence like this #its like a part of my soul will be missing until he comes back #but at the same time i know what he would want for me. to move on and to become my own reason #he would want me to be kind to myself. to focus on myself and not miss him that much. #he would want that for all of us right #but i have a very hard time processing things. do you guys remeber the festa last year? when we found out theyll be going on hiatus #the reality of it snd the fact that it will be happening hit me onky after around 3 months. #thats when i first cried because i realized what it meant. ofc i knew but it didnt occur to the emotional part of my brain at that time #and i feel like im truly gonna fall apart when THIS hits me in 3 months lol #my life has never been worse and thats honestly the time when i need the reassurance the most #when i need the people i love and find comfort in the most. #but its just me and thats technically just my problem. but since i am talking about my view on this then thats okay i guess hahah anyway #i just hope he knows there are milions of ppl who love him as much as i do. and thats like extra love like forever & beyond type of shit #i honestly dont think other people ever truly fully understand how we feel towards them. especially when you really love somebody #because they have their own opinions about themselves. they debate whether they deserve some kind of treatment or not. we all do that right #and i just know he does that too. i just reslly want him to feel completely loved and cherished and appreciated. #i want him to see himself through our eyes. to surround himself with people who see him exactly the way we do. #to fall in love with somebody who will see him like we see him #nobody deserves better life than this man. and i hope that after our reunion he will live that life to the fullest 💓 i can't wait to see it #anyway. if somebody needs to talk about it or wants to get sadness out of your system - im here 💓 #please keep your heads up and lets wait for him 💓 #we have esch other and we will be okay 💓 #sorry for typos i can barely see its 1am 🤓

okokokok you know what. the lesbian label fits me best specifically because i hate romance & falling in love i think all that shit's stupid. The only thing thats worth it in life is having a tension filled two-little-girls-on-the-playground-pretending-to-be-horses level intensity friendship where basically no words or outside concepts exist beside the deep fascination and kinship you have with another human being & its a friendship to the outside world but on the inside its an unspeakable understanding of self & other with no limits or boundaries as to the aspects that are concealed and revealed and the kind of intimacy that is possible & the only rule is having fun and keeping up the synchronicity thats vibrating between your two spirits. Sorry if that makes me sound like a cringe hippe but genuinely people who are like i wanna fall in looooove im like your desires are lame & small and i pity you. Romance-love is inferior to playground bff friendship-love in every way but we live in a society that does everything to hide this fact from people....why.....

#& i don't mean a sexless friendship i really mean all types of intimacy are possible. but they're not EXPECTED theres no script #sex happens if it feels relevant & interesting but otherwise why would it #& this kind of thing genuinely does go beyond gender its just that men are usually incapable of letting this happen #its what i have with my gf by the way we're best frieeends but also i want to know a lot of people this way #except almost no one gets it...its my burden in this life to try to make people understand #when you turn an intense friendship into a romantic rship you lose something invaluable and then its gone forever #not because you've added sex into it cause you can in fact do that. its just people don't know how. its a careful & difficult process #you have to remain present & not lose yourself in a movie script that tells you what to do & how to be. instead you have to keep being #yourself & only doing things that arise naturally. people have no trouble doing it until they get self conscious & then its impossible #do you see my life burden

[dnangelic]

i feel like dark has the tendency to disappoint one mun's expectations after another bc yeah he looks the way he does but then he's like. he's easy to rile up but it's difficult to actually get him to fight (because of daisuke) and he's never killed anyone + he's chaotic good and not human and his entire basis of theft operates on that so his morality turns blue and orange to some people + he's a flirt but as soon as anybody actually starts showing signs of interest in him all of his internal sirens and warning bells start going off so he starts to avoid them and push them away + a very real part of his true, legitimate personality is tsundere and awkward as hell + he's cringe + despite it all, the power of love is very real to him

#*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT. #wym the satan themed edgelord isnt an actual chaotic evil maniac who indulges in malice #<- its the poto wet cat patheticness #love for dark is everything and the fact he steals cannnnn be compared. in the very end #to his own divine will. it's above and beyond both the rules and a LOT of the understanding #of the ordinary human people he's stealing -from- #but he doesn't feel like explaining himself so he doesn't. it's true #he's a criminal. it's true. he's stealing everything. taking things for himself #that part of him won't change #but it's not entirely out of greed nor is it at all out of malice #neither the criminal. corrupt and sinful nor the selfless. guilty penance and inherent noble responsibility #of dark's actions can be ignored!!! and i think that's tough for some ppl when like. #chaotic evil anime villain of the week is easier to digest lkajlkjkfjk -shakes dark- and yet. i like him so much for it.... #im rambling mb #i should eat but zzz maybe ill sleep soon instead i need 2 catch up on it

thinking about the Natquik and Tracker episode we're definitely gonna get in season 3............. (*cough* disclaimer: this isn't confirmed i just really believe it lol 😅)

thinking about them discussing the polar scouts, and gossiping about Barnacles together. thinking about Natquik instantly looking at Tracker and adopting him; treating him like a younger Barnacles. thinking about Tracker doing some weird trick™ that Barnacles taught him and Natquik immediately recognizing it because he taught it to Barnacles. thinking about Tracker hearing stories about Natquik from Barnacles and Bianca, and being nervous to finally meet the man the myth the legend. thinking about them becoming besties super fast and Barnacles just going :)))

#I'm SO certain we're getting it in s3. if I had money i would bet money on it lmaoo #octonauts #octonauts above and beyond #the hype is so real you guys you don't understand- (sobbing) /pos #professor natquik #octonauts tracker #i love them both so much #i need natquik to meet tracker almost as much as i need him to meet cj and IT'S GONNA HAPPEN #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #it will. in fact. become my favourite episode of all time. Immediately. #i have very high expectations hhhh #i cannot think of any way it could possibly be disappointing lol #it's gonna be great #end post <3

Not to be a jingfu on main, but it's so cute that Jing Yuan thought of Fu Xuan with those jelly beans

#me: the Xianzhou characters are all just coworkers #also me whenever anyone is shown to be fond and have intimate knowledge of some other character: awwww #Like Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan playing starchess and teasing each other or making a reference to things they like #or Jing Yuan talking about young Yukong #Quingque apparently disliking Fu Xuan but obviously that not being the case‚ knowing what she likes and how she thinks #Fu Xuan hiding that she has a sweet tooth but Jing Yuan and Quingque knowing it and teasing her for it #I don't know. There are a lot of instances of these small intimate details in the middle of what looks like a coworker relationship #Good coworkers‚ but coworkers nonetheless #And ironically it moves me so much? Even more so than Belobog. I've been told several times that Belobog seemed more tight. And I agree #In Belobog people were friends or family or companions but linked by something closer than mere coworkers with Wildfire #Even Sampo in the Underworld was strangely 'theirs'. He had the magenta colour of Wildfire and he was trusted to some extent #The Luofu characters don't have that. And yet the fragments of intimacy scattered through their interactions move me a lot #These are people who have known each other for centuries. Jing Yuan knows of Yukong's youth‚ its joy and grief #He knows Fu Xuan has a sweet tooth and teases her about her height. Quingque does too #Fu Xuan chastises both of them for being lazy but she knows they're smart and good at their job. She plays starchess with Jing Yuan #Quingque mocks Fu Xuan for being a workaholic but is very aware of the weight she carries both in her position and ideas about destiny #I won't mention Yanqing and Bailu because there is obviously more than a coworker bound when it comes to them #But yes I love the moments of intimate knowledge scattered through the Xianzhou‚ so telling of the fact that these people have known #each other for longer than several human lifetimes‚ and that perhaps they don't necessarily regard each other as more than their coworker #But perhaps that's enough in order for them to care. Perhaps in a lifetime over one thousand years the intimacy gained with a coworker #through several centuries is something beyond what we could understand in our decades lifespan #But also‚ perhaps‚ I don't know. Also‚ perhaps‚ the do care beyond coworkers in that strange line between work and friendship #Perhaps it's strange for Xianzhou natives to tell apart that kind of relationship after so much intimacy and knowledge through the years #And perhaps‚ once again‚ as it often happens for them‚ they think they'll always have enough time to tell; until they run out of it #They play chess together. Quingque can lose time because Fu Xuan can't stay mad if she brings her sweets. Are they just coworkers? #We play chess. I know what tea and sweets you like best. I brought them today since you would indulge me and play starchess with me #Thanks for playing with me‚ I'm running out of book puzzles. You keep divining my moves but I'll invent a fake story to distract you #Are we coworkers or something more like friends? Where is the line after so many years? #I talk too much but I love this charged nothingness haha I find it ironically so true to how many relationships in real life develop #And I find it so moving‚ that representation of this endearing smallness of everyday life. Of these small things is life made

will wood is a genius and his peak popularity was wasted on like chronically online pandemic-era teen girls with status-quo neurosis and adhd who loved him for his "quirkiness" and how his music "scratched their brains"

#yes i am making fun of a demographic but also there is a reason it exists and i acknowledge that #regardless. the internet is horrible for developing minds. you are still all so irritating #dont even get me started on i/me/myself you people are insane. can we see beyond gender binaries for one fking second #can we have some nuance please. some reading comprehension. some media literacy #anyway will wood is on the lines of like jreg. in terms of meta commentary on identity&artistry and shit #he's an incredible lyricist and musician. i doubt these ephemeral fans could really comprehend the wavelength he was on #i mean this seriously #but also it's not in the sense that i am doubting their intelligence. it's just like 15 y/os thinking theyre mature when their development #was severely impacted by the pandemic and chronically online shit #and anyway 15yos everywhere are not mature. this is a fact of life Does anyone understand me. i understand me #anyway this was really rambly. hi blog #emp3 #em media and society commentary rant : over

huntlow shippers who cherry-pick every single frame where these two stand next to each other and TJLC it into a secret metanarrative that they’ve actually been madly in love since the moment they met, but disney forced the crew to cut the token m/f couple during The Shortening bc somehow there was no way for these two to have any meaningful conversation in the many many times they were onscreen together

vs.

huntlow dislikers who cherry-pick those same screenshots and say that because other characters blush in non-romantic contexts sometimes, it definitely means every single interaction between these two were 100% platonic on both sides and all huntlow shippers are under a collective delusion, and that dana terrace is being held at gunpoint by disney/other members of the crew to add in a romantic subplot she hates against her will. despite it also not being romantic somehow

FIGHT

#ive talked to both kinds of ppl and i dont think either side understands my stance #i am taking the bat i beat the dead horse with and i am swinging it at the hornets nest #toh #the owl house #to be clear my stance is that i dont think a romantic subplot would add anything significant to either of their arcs #that isnt already fulfilled by their relationships to their other friends and family #in fact i think its very disjointed from hunters arc which is centered around found family #in a full season 3 i would have wanted them to explore how willows history of being bullied tanked her self esteem #causing her to have a hard time believing someone actually likes her #and feeling like she needs to put aside her own issues to focus on hunter bc hes 'more' traumatized #and feeling bad if she ever gets frustrated at him because she subconsciously feels unworthy to have a boyfriend in the first place #so being angry at him would make her feel like shes 'ungrateful' to hunter for liking her #meanwhile hunter would be overly attached to willow like he is to all his other friends but also in a blind trust in authority way #and if they do have problems in the relationship he would blame himself and try to 'make up for it' in acts of service willow doesnt need #if they are to date at all then having that kind of problem pop up and them addressing it is the only way i can think of #where being in a romantic relationship adds something to both their characters #but with the shortening the show isnt going to have time to explore any of that so i think they should have just cut that subplot #unless theyre setting hunter up to be rejected which. well see how that plays out #and also the fandom certainly doesnt want to explore the huntlow dynamic beyond 'angsty white boy and his emotional support girlfriend' #maybe 'two menaces and their friend gus' once in a blue moon #oh and 'child abuse victim wants his girlfriend to beat him up' that ones a classic #what im saying is that the saturation of huntlow fanworks where They Would Not Fucking Say That really didnt endear me to the ship #and also srsly they should have cut out that subplot in the show i know its not the crews fault they got cancelled #but they still have a responsibility to tell a coherent story and that means cutting out unecessary romantic subplots if they dont have time #and the crux of my position is: even if all the TJLC-ing came true and huntlow was entirely developed through totally real longing glances #i should not have to go into the show armed with 80k words of huntlow meta to understand why they want to date each other #willow especially has shown no overt interest and its clear most of the ppl who say she does dont understand or care about her character #yes shes buff yes shes confident can you list her character nuances or is she just your self insert to ship hunter with #someone is going to misunderstand this and assume i just 'dont understand why they ship it' and explain it to me again lmao #lowhunt
