#idk if anything i said made any sense

[userparamore]

I feel like talking so, you're gonna get it.

This Is Why is Paramore's best album (and I am an after laughter truther), I was skeptical bc of CCC and the length of it but tbh, the album as a whole is so cohesive and flows nicely together. It's the perfect length for a drive, a shower, even doing the dishes. Some of their best lyrics (Crave & Thick Skull) to date... I wish I knew more about music theory so I could dissect it, but even the sound has matured. I truly think this is the beginning of their actual true sound..

Forgive me, I spend too much time on Reddit but people who hold on to brand new eyes and riot as their best are just wrong lol! I wish I could feel casual about this, but I've followed this band since 2007 when I was 12... and to really grow up with Hayley has been an incredible experience. She has inspired me in so many ways, I relate to her personal solo music and I just think she / paramore are one of the most authentic musicians of our time!!!

Anyways, Crave... all time song of our existence... truly their best song. Thanks for reading, love your blog! I submitted for the zine and can't wait to see everyone's work for this fantastic album!!!!

oh i welcome this ask with open arms! <3 if you're interested in music theory, stereogum did a piece on ROOT that was extremely interesting to read.

i don't know if paramore will ever develope a true sound? i think they're artists that are always on the search for new ways to express themselves through music. i think describing what makes paramore, paramore, is difficult as it's almost more of a feeling? does that make sense? i used to think it was hayley's voice, but then again i think no friend is such a paramore sounding song.

the people who think riot is their best album doesn't know paramore's discography and are just stuck in time. it's okay to love the sound of the record, and now years later it's a defining album for that particular sound in the 00s. but paramore then and paramore now are just so detatched to me. it's not the same band anymore. i agree that bne is one of their strongest albums but then you have AL and tiw who i think are both much stronger bodies of works.

i'm a little too young to have been here from the beginning, but they've been such a monumental (<- pun intended 😎) band to me throughout my pre-teen/teenage years and now young adulthood- just like you <3 every album have defined my life in different ways and i'm so happy to be a small part of the fandom here on tumblr.

and AH!! it makes me so happy to hear that you submitted something for the zine!!! <3 can't wait for it to be posted tomorrow (well technically today for me) so we can share all the great art and writing we've gotten! @ignorancelive have been working their ass off to put it together <333

here's to 1 year of this is why <3

unpopular opinion: there is no point in the show in which jeid would have made sense. jj never seemed interested in him, and his feelings always felt misconstrued and misplaced. they never had that kinda chemistry.

So I’m rewatching and catching up on Doctor Who for the first time in like 6ish years so I can watch the new specials and like my favorite will always be Tennant, he was My Doctor blah blah but you know what, this rewatch reminded me how much I love 12, mainly his season with Bill.

Capaldi is such a great Doctor. He’s not always nice but he’s always kind and he loves so hard. He’s so funny and I love how he loves playing guitar and he has sonic sunglasses bc he’s just trying to have a good time, he may not be a kooky bow tie guy anymore but he’s still silly. Him and Bill are like best buds and I wish we’d had another season with them and even Nardole bc their relationship was just fun, there was no pre-destined or weird importance placed on her, she was just a normal person who loved learning and was kind and had good vibes. The best of humanity, the kind of person the Doctor takes along bc they remind him that people are important. Bill brought out the best in him and also GAY🦭 anyways his last words are so beautiful and I miss him

#also rip Clara I don’t have anything against her and but I truly think they brought out the ‘worst’ in each other #not like actually the worst but like it wasn’t great #that said I did cry at the last episode when we find out HE forgot her :( him and his guitar playing the song just gets me #and at the end of his run when he remembers who she is 🥺 #see actually the second 12&clara season wasn’t too bad but the first one was just 🫠 #like it just seemed so toxic?? and for what?? #I did like the season finale with the cybermen and Danny protecting Clara but like their actual relationship was also toxic?? so much lying #that 2nd season is better w their relationship but that hybrid shit? didn’t make any sense?? it was just made to seem important #but it literally wasn’t at all 😭 #I do wish 12 had gotten a few more episodes with river so it wouldn’t have been such a sudden return? #meh idk #anyway capaldi you’re literally a rockstar doctor <3 #this is my first time seeing 13’s run too #I had to skip arachnids cause phobia but I just started the demons episode #I’m still trying to decide how I feel ab her but I love Ryan he’s so funny #I feel like she’s missing that rage that’s literally just below the surface of all the doctors #but I’ll keep watching to see if we get that later

I am once again thinking of how we never actually see the name that killed L, just his legal name in "Death Note: How to Read".

I'm thinking of Rem ripping out the pages in her death note she'd written on as she turns to dust, taking too the only written instance of name that killed the world's greatest detective, quite possibly as one last act of defiance against Light Yagami. Thinking of how if she hadn't, Light would have read the final name she'd written, kept inside him the knowledge that he's one of the only humans alive to keep the name that L felt was *his* at the day he died. Sure, he could've just attached hard to how he wanted to remember L, but it doesn't take away the fact that it feels as if he *doesn't* know L's name (because with all the focus he had on finding it out it doesn't erase the care he put into finding it)

I'm thinking of L, who's never really identified himself with a name. Not his legal name, given to him by his guardian, nor any of his number of aliases. He might as well have been L Lawliet just as much as he was the detective L, or Eraldo Coil, or Deneuve, or even his brief stint as Hideki Ryuga. He's been called so many names in his life, but doesn't identify with any of them. I'm thinking of the fact that Near and Mello clearly identify themselves as their legal names despite their similar use of aliases, the way that their legal names are explicitly the names needed to kill them. However, with L, we never see his legal name written down in the note nor do we get to see the name floating above his head. Unlike others from a similar background, we don't know the name that killed him, nor does he seem to identify with his legal name.

Of course, this brings up exactly what the name had killed him was, and if it simply was his legal name, why it wasn't just shown as with other characters. For someone who couldn't seem to form an attachment around any of the many names they've been called, I almost wonder if the name that killed him was something secret, played around with in his head, something only he (and someone with the eyes of course) would know.

#l lawliet #death note #A man can have so much trans subtext its unreal #By all means it would have made total sense for him to attach to his legal name‚ seeing that it was given to him by his longest living #guardian and was a substitute to him having none at all and yet #In some ways it almost brings into question how strained his relationship with Watari may have been‚ but also it reeks of subtext #Not identifying with your legal name or any name most people call you #That being said I am also uh lawlight trash so the monkeybrain also shoves all this thought aside and goes 'Okay but wouldn't it be funny #if the name that killed him was like Ryuzaki Yagami or some shit even though that probably doesn't make sense? The pain.' #Idk man I just think it says something that Light seems to never be allowed to know what name killed him‚ that it was never mentioned in #the source material (not even his legal)‚ and that other people from whammy's house in opposition to Light had their names needed to kill #them be their legal names/we get to see the names that killed them #I just be thinking #edit: I should also specify that some of this is canon interpretation while some is like shaping headcanon (for example it's not as if we #*see* Rem tear out any pages or anything but that's just me coming up with a reason as to why he wouldn't have just known L's name after #picking up her note and opening it for the first time)

I think Moonlight Chicken is doing a really good job with their characterizations in general but SPECIFICALLY the relationship between Uncle Jim and Li Ming.

Uncle Jim is this nearly 40 year old parent/guardian who’s doing a terrible job, not for lack of trying, at being a part of his 17/18 year old sons/nephews life. Its the struggle between a child who thinks they’re an adult already, and an adult who knows they aren’t yet and doesn’t know how to balance letting them TRY being an adult, and when to treat them like the child they still are. It’s extremely realistic and awkward and sort of heart aching to watch.

On top of this, the way Uncle Jim and Li Ming act when other people are within THEIR bubble is also very realistic to their personalities. Uncle Jim seems sort of traditionally minded. Yes he has a strong support system with friends who are like family, but there’s a difference for him between that and FAMILY family. FAMILY is at home, family is Li Ming.

There’s a huge difference between people outside of the home (especially Wen) seeing Uncle Jim and Li Ming’s relationship, and people inside the home seeing it. I think Uncle Jim looks extremely uncomfortable at first having someone witness just how hard of a time he’s having with Li Ming. It’s in his private space, his family space, and he isn’t ready for Wen to be a part of that family yet. Luckily for Uncle Jim, Wen isn’t in a rush to make himself family, even though he’s pretty clearly showing that if that option were out on the table he wouldn’t say no.

Meanwhile Li Ming’s not afraid of sharing his frustration with his uncle with whoever asks about it. That being said he’s still picky about expressing how he struggles with school. I think he and Uncle Jim are both being overprotective about their most important problem at the moment. They’re not so dissimilar when you look at to that way, even in terms of their found family. Li Ming is picking and choosing who he likes and trusts with his personal life, and in a way building on top of the family his Uncle built before him by trusting Wen and Heart with his problems and affection respectively.

#moonlight chicken #moonlight chicken the series #heart #uncle Jim #li ming #wen #heartliming #jimwen #moonlight chicken meta #anyways idk if any of that made sense but love the show #signed a older sister watching their parents go through the exact struggle li Ming and uncle Jim are going through with each other #also this is a mid ep 6 1/4 thoufht so #if anything comes up in this episode that directly conflicts anything I said #cope

im still mad about the kairi thing btw like so/kai is good dont get me wrong but i wouldnt be mad about like literally ANY of it if kairi had literally any development herself or any kind of friendship with sora like girl has been absent character development wise since fucking kh2 and youre gonna look me in the eye and tell me kairi is still soras most important person?? with what evidence bitch

#cant even say its just normal misogyny and bad character writing for girls bc aqua namine and xion are RIGHT THERE #everyone else has SUCH good character writing and development and interactions between each other like the relationships are THERE #but sora and kairi barely get ANYTHING and when they do its the same shallow ill protect you :) i want to be by your side :) #telling not showing you know #make it fucking believeable at least #not even from a sor/iku point of view i could care less i want kairi to have like an actual personality #girl hasnt talked to sora ALL GAME #actually she hasnt talked to sora since?? MAYBE recoded????????? #if not since kh2 #and that says a lot!!!! #like really they couldnt find ANY way to bring her more into the story?? #and like sure! maybe that just isnt kairis character! as maby people have said kairi isnt the kind of person who WANTS to fight #not like sora or riku. shes fighting bc she wants to protect her friends and ultimatrly bc she has to. not bc she particularly wants to #and it shows! and maybe shes always stuck in the past and doesnt like change #but bro you gotta be insane levels into it to catch that shit. its background shit its barely addressed unlike literally every aspect of eve #every ither character #MY GUY DEMYX HAS MORE CHARACTER THAN KAIRI #i want to like kairi so bad and i DO but like the potential she has?? as she is its like. she barely exists except as a plot device #im not saying i hate her im like neutral. i just hate how she was SHOVED into every aspect of the endgame as if it made any sense #maybe it gets explained in future games idk maybe she'll have a bigger role (DOUBT) but again as it stands #shes just a plot device #and i HATE that for her she deserves so much better man #michi tag #society if kairi had a character beyond plot device #let kairi DO something for once god fucking damn #gonna kill nomura with my bare fucking hands

going over old fic notes and outlines and character talks with friends and it's always really funny when i get to the stuff i was developing early-mid 2019 where bill just literally kept kryptos around to rag on, and he genuinely just. did not like the man. like was just completely annoyed with his general existence. boy have things changed

#for anyone curious: i came to the conclusion that no amount of 'this guy sucks but he's fun to bully' would get bill to keep someone around #for like literal eons. bill gets bored of his toys too quickly. he'd break 'em. plus the fact that bill decided he was worth saving to begi #with. there was at first an element of 'i owe the guy' because [FIC SPOILERS] and a grudging 'if i had a gun to my head i'd say he was my #best friend i GUESS but do not tell him that' but no real genuine friendship or anything more #before realizing that with the specific story i was going to tell it just made the most sense to have these assholes still be like. #bad people for sure but to actually care about each other. it also just felt too easy to write bill off as someone whose cruelty is just #a lack of certain emotions. like that doesn't automatically make a bad person and a bad person doesn't automatically lack emotion #(there's a character that'll be introduced sometime soon who is aroace and doesn't make friends easily and she's lovely because...) #(idk man. i'm aroace and why shouldn't she be. a lack of affection doesn't make you bad and the ability to feel it doens't make you good) #so bill can and does love people-- even if actual vulnerability is near impossible to get from him-- and kryptos is included in that #it's just that he still sucks really bad and hurts and even kills people that he loves because again. bad person who has no idea how to #navigate relationships healthily because of his own baggage and the environment he grew up in #(also in canon he usually does not want to navigate relationships healthily because. again. he sucks!) #so the only lasting relationship he's ever had where he isn't trying to hurt someone is still just... messy as hell #(and to be fair kryptos is also a p. bad person by adulthood it's just that they're pretty young at this point in the fic) #(so there's less avenues to show that) #kryptos being desperate for any scrap of attention and bill providing the only attention he's ever gotten was always the vibe #but it really was much more of a 'bully and bulling victim who he lets hang around him because said victim' #'is like the only one willing to talk to him' dynamic which is... very much not the case anymore #as said in the tags of my fic. these awful shapes care about each other as best they can care about anyone #anyway sorry idk how much anyone really cares about these tag essays but theyre helpful for me to get my thought process like... down #and track how different the story used to be

[scrapdon]

over the years ive noticed that a lot of fandom discourse is just people pointing out something that's part of a character's personality but sometimes exaggerating it a little bit bc why not, n then people getting mad at others for that n calling it "out of character"

#sorry if this post sounds so confusing #if i dont immediately write my thoughts like they sound in my head then ill quickly forget what i was gonna talk about #but anyways #some people will really go ''he would not fucking say that'' when in fact he has said/done that but it was like once #n when people have fun around the idea of that character doing more of that other people get mad n say its wrong #idk am i making any sense here???? #tbh i dont care bc i doubt anyone ever reads 100% of my posts n im just talking to myself here #i basically just made this post to say that lately ive been getting so tired of fandom spaces in general #and yeah i know fandoms are always like that theres always discourse n shit happening #but i kinda learned to not give a shit about anything anymore? #if a lot of people dislike a certain trope or type of character n constantly shit on other people for liking that im just like ''ok?'' #okay i dont know where im going with this anymore #post ends here

#i keep thinking about that post about insulin on&off and i think its bc it makes me feel hypocritical to be so affronted by it #seeing as homegrown medicine is like. my whole Thing&the reason why im alive lol. #but i think i finally figured out what bothered me so much&i guess i kind of noticed it immediately too bc i kind of mentioned it. #i had to learn medicine to survive which means all my experimentation was done entirely on myself. #&it was traditional medicine that was being made w/o western tools or help for literally centuries. #&i did it to keep me alive long enough to get LIFE SAVING medicine. the kind of medicine insulin is. #&i have never been anything other than openly disgusted w the fact that i had to do all that to survive. #i do practice on ppl now when i can but these ppl ALSO have no other options&im not prescribing life saving meds. #&most importantly like i said in the tags on that post it feels v condescending to use insulin as a point #when you yourself do not use homegrown insulin-- or insulin in general. #i obviously know anarchistic medicine is necessary&lifesaving. but i also think that the medical advances weve made thus far #as a species should be readily available to the ppl who need it w/o having to risk dangerous methods to potentially get it. #it does not take a huge margin of error to kill someone w bad insulin. not by any stretch of the imagination. #downplaying it to 'but its so easy to make' feels incredibly inappropriate from ppl who DO NOT need it to survive. #idk maybe im just looking for reasons to justify myself so i dont feel like a flatout hypocrite lmao. #but in my head somewhere this makes sense lmao.

i don’t like seeing older / post-canon aubrey designs where her head is still entirely pink 😭😭😭 i feel like it just signifies that she never grew / healed from mari’s death ( which she never truly will 2 some extent but that comes with any loved one’s death / grief ). let aubrey’s roots show !!! let her hair fade !!!! show her without her contacts as an older person !!! let her let go of this thing that has caused her so much pain throughout her already turbulent childhood + teenage years please i’m begging u

#mums said smth again #omori #aubrey omori #i copy / pasted this from my twt ( @ burgurkel btw 😜 ) #i bring this up bc i remember talking 2 someone about this and they were so adamant about aubrey Never cutting / redying / letting it fade #and it rubbed me the wrong way but i didn’t say anything in that moment lmao #i was just looking back on it and i was like Wait this doesn’t make any sense #like ur not willing 2 let aubrey’s hair ( a signifier of how she didn’t want 2 let go of the promise she made 2 mari as a child ) fade bc… #u thought it was equivalent 2 breaking their promise ??? #like bro the promise has been fufilled no amount of hair dye is going 2 bring her dead sister / mother figure back from the dead #u need 2 let her let it go the same way so many people let the others ( including sunny ) let mari’s death go #idk it just doesn’t seem fair 2 aubrey nor does it make sense 2 me #people move on from even the worst events that can happen that’s such a huge part of what omori is LOL #idk i’m just rambling atp it’s rly not that deep #omori aubrey

#its weird when the main points of why buying hgl is fine bc people play skyrim and dragon age and fallout #when like. is your point people are racist in those games? #bc idk if you know this but equating the purposeful racism and antisemitism done by hgl and your favorite just a joke rowling #to like. creatures in a separate game franchise. #that yknow. arent owned by mrs antisemite #like you going 'she didnt make it so its not intentional 🤪' is stupid when the creator of the game shares her views as well #like this persons points arent making any sense bc theyre saying bc theyre native they have a allowance to buy it #bro. listen to the people AFFECTED BY IT 💀 #this is what we call performative activism #like just bc You say 'and i dont tell other people not to buy these games' DOESNT GIVE YOU A PASS TO BUY A BIGOTED GAME #like this person is proudly defending jkr and criticizing other native and jewish people so its no use in arguing w them either way #like just because You dont say anything about the racism in the games you play #and dont tell other people Not to play them #doesnt give you any sort of right to say Other people dont have a right to tell you to not fund a Literal fascist #also like. its weird to challenge a view and compare it to something made that the actual creators have said that if done today #it would be made differently #or Have made it differently in other games #like if jkr had changed views or whatever and said that she would have done it differently is a different story #Tolkien literally did #also its funny to mention they said their dad inspired this talk bc he said 'well the person who got you to think on this is talking to a #specific group of people' and they went 'yeah its not me! im going be antisemitic as shit!!' like babes that aint how it works 💀

[dragons-and-yellow-roses]

Someone help me out here please

I work at a summer camp, and at this camp we tell a legend at the end of every week, a fantastical story about the origins of camp. A very fun, very important part of camp. The story means a fuckton to me and a lot of people.

A part of why it means a fuckton to me is because a woman I used to be very close with used to tell the story, and then she passed it on to me to tell.

It's a long sad story about why we're not close, but the important thing to note is, we can't talk to each other. At all. And we agreed not to pass messages through other people or anything cuz it just really hurts.

Back to the story. It's oral tradition, but I decided I wanted to collect transcripts from as many of the storytellers as I can and put them all together to help preserve it, as it's so important to camp and many people. Part of the reason I started was because that old friend of mine gave me a transcript of the story. It means a lot to me because of her, I started this important project because of her, she's a big part of it even though she doesn't know it.

Soon I'm going to send the various transcripts I've collected to the people that have helped me. Everyone that's given me a story will receive the entire set I've collected and have access to it forever and ever, to see the new stories and watch the history grow. I think it'll be really super fucking cool.

The thing is. I believe that old friend deserves to have access to it all too. After all, she was such a big part of it. However, according to the promise that we made, I can't contact her either directly or indirectly. So I don't think I can just email her the transcripts with everyone else or give it to someone to pass on to her. Right?

I'm torn because:

She deserves to have this part of camp history because I know how important it is to her and how much she would love to see it grow. She really loves the story and she helped so much with the project, even if she doesn't know it. But she deserves to know it and it doesn't feel right to leave her out of this.

BUT at the beginning of the whole document I'm going to write a quick preface explaining the project and thanking those that have helped and etc. I have to thank her in that, everyone that gains access to the document should know how much she impacted it. But if she reads that from me, it might be too much. If I just sent her the stories, maybe, maybe that might be okay. But the foreword has to be included and she has to be included in it, but we agreed not to contact each other and her seeing that foreword might break the promise, if sending the document doesn't. Just sending the document would probably even break it.

She deserves to have it, but she doesn't deserve to have her trust in me broken, and I'm afraid that she'll be hurt by being left out, but also she might be hurt if I send it.

I texted my best friend, who's friends with both of us, and he said that I should just send it. But the is a really big, important thing that I could easily fuck up if I'm not careful. Do I play it safe and not send it, leaving her out even though I know that's not fair to her? Or do I take a risk and send it, even though it might hurt her?

#only two people know about why we cant talk #and thats my best friend and my girlfriend #both of them are friends with us both and theyve requested to be left out of any communication or problems between us #i only asked my best friend because he helps me think rationally and hes okay with smaller questions like that #but he wouldnt reach out to her to kind of get a feel for how she'd feel or anything. neither would my gf #and i fully understand and respect that #my best friend said he thinks i should just send it but idk if hes right #that old friend and i... theres a small possibility that eventually we could be friends again #if i dont fuck it up before then #but i honestly dont know what to do right now. i think either way i could fuck it up #this project has been such a source of happiness for me and finally i get to share it with people that have the same passion for it #but i remember through the entire process #i kept wishing that she couldve been there helping me #i knew she wouldve loved it and been so good at it and helpful #this couldve been ours. it made sense for it to be ours. it should have been ours #im so proud of what i did. and she helped. she doesnt know it but she helped so much #without her this wouldnt have happened #she deserves to know that. but im so afraid of what could happen #if i send it theres no going back. and maybe she wont consider it communication and she'll just appreciate it #or maybe she'll see it as disrespectful and there goes all possibility of us ever having a relationship again #but maybe she'll see it as disrespectful if i dont share it or give her credit. and she deserves credit. she deserves to see this #but i honestly have no idea one way or the other. what's the right answer? what do i do? #if y'all have some insight please lmk #i cant think rationally rn and i can't really talk to my best friend or gf about it #i was so excited until i realized i have to make this decision and now i have the anxiety shakes #im still excited. but also terrified. and shaking #help please

#i watched it like illegally bc I was bored and ok I liked some of the visual stuff #but plot and character wise it made like no sense there was like way too much going on but they didn’t do like anything with it #so it felt way shorter than it actually was and like a lot of it was a waste of time #it’s like about traveling across universes but they only ever spend time in like 4 of them and don’t give any of them details #+ a lot of the character stuff is really rushed too #like América and dr strange had like 2 scenes together #some of the shots were cool though #also how there was a lot of killing. But like idk there were some parts which while obviously they weren’t actual horror #were influenced by it it was probably like evil dead I wouldn’t know I haven’t seen it #and I never will because it’s too scary. But I’m sure it’s good #so like I said that aspect was honestly pretty entertaining but overall I think it had like no identity and wasn’t interesting at all #oh and the ending was like :| moments #also not only did they whitewash América and her parents they also gave her like no screen time or development or good lines #and the whole plot with scarlet witch was kinda sexist too

I like the scent of people but I hate the scent of sex

Like all participants can have showered until just five minutes before, done a deep clean doesn't matter

Here's the source for the quote:

#legit smell might be my no 1 reason to never have sex again #i mean there are other issues that make me very much not fond of the idea that are more pressing #being ace and telling ppl because it's relevant in regards to boundaries has unfortunate effects. usually it's confusion (annoying #because then I have to answer questions or leave) and sometimes straight disinterest. which honestly is fine. #desinterest is definitely the best result #sometimes people don't get it but just accept it but that's honestly almost worse than the annoying questions because someone is avoiding #the topic instead of choosing to broaden their horizon. sure some people do their research privately but you can't do research about me #at least not about my sexuality. you can do quite some online searches about me lmao #and the third common reaction is fetishization. were people either assume I'm some innocent pure fantasy being and make up shit about me #(or about ace people in general) and if there ever is just one thing not framed well or perfectly nuanced that's a wild card for folks to #believe whatever they prefer to have heard and then if you correct anything there's more confusion and pain #because everything I say or say about myself turns into a fact fact. about everyone which is just not how it works #and the other form of fetishization (in my experience by allo cis women who have not made any experiences not getting fetishized by men #(and also misread me as a man. people's education about trans people is miserable. to a lot of cis people seemingly being non binary is an #on top label and still has you qualify as a man or woman underneath that. as if calling yourself non binary was like a lesbian calling #themselves butch. which obviously isn't an accurate comparison even if nb women and men exist.) #and with those types there comes a fetishization of being seen as respectful and not predatory which then makes you more sexually appealing #which idk kinda makes sense if you're dealing with a sexually active person that is interested in you as well #it does not make sense purely on the terms of you being attracted to someone who mentioned being ace to you. it is not about you. whether #said ace person is sexually active or not
