another hot take but I really liked Roy and Jamie’s super dumb toxic masculinity fight. they aren’t perfect! Jamie is compelling because he is a twat. i read a fanfic recently that was talking about Jamie’s inner asshole and how that is an irrevocable part of him and it was great because Jamie learned to be a better person but he didn’t lose that part of himself—he just learned to channel it better. and Roy is an aggressive dickhead who is bad at sharing and thinks he has the right to be patronizing to literally everyone. he’s working on making himself better but he hasn’t lost that part of himself either! the diamond dogs convo was such a perfect addition to that scene because it’s all about how people can get better but they also are always in a way going to be inherently themselves. and in a situation where he is fighting for something he really wants, Jamie is the kind of person who feels the need to lash out and say the most asshole thing he can no matter who it’s disrespecting, and Roy is the kind of person who thinks he can brute force his way into being the best. and those qualities came out in both of them! and it was so great because they aren’t perfect and if they were it would be boring (a la Beard). and then Keeley says you absolute idiots (and by refusing to choose, setting up a more compelling throuple interpretation too, so bonus there), and all their work to be better comes crashing back and they’re both like. we are idiots. and because they have put in the work to grow they can get past Jamie being a twat and Roy being a cunt and move on to better things (like realizing Keeley has two hands)

Ok so I get the theory that Kieran is being influenced by the toxic chain after a certain point of the story and yeah there's something with it going on but it's ok to pair that + him just being an emotionally unstable kid with neurodivergent coding. Like there's no need to pick either one, both can go in hand 🤷♀️

this argument pisses me off so bad bc yes laena was treated like shit by the writers but no they didn't 'strip her from her canon relationship with Rhaenyra and give it to some white woman' bc they have nothing in common except being friends with an implied romantic relationship.
They could have easily had them both it's not like rhaenyra can't have more than one friend lol.
Like yea we should absolutely criticize the writers' treatment of laena but I only ever see people bring her up to hate on a character/ship they dont like it's so annoying

Fully watched a 5 hr video recapping the velma show in great detail bc all the other vids went into just how cringe the first few episodes was and didn't think I'd come out with an appreciation for autistic-coded Fred in the older shows. I remember watching them as a kid and thinking how funny it was that he seemed clueless but then would get so excited when very specific things came up that he would have extensive knowledge abt and it would always help the case. And he would infodump sometimes and everyone would just stare at him for being a nerd. Intentional or not I love it

when i say rian johnson is the root cause of r/eylo i know that is hyperbolic and not the whole truth BUT i feel ok saying it anyway bc in tfa their dynamic is played SO differently and just purely antagonistic (jj calling the torture scene akin to SA) and yes people shipped them no it was not a small ship but i truly believe there was no intention of them becoming canon pre tlj (+ i genuinely believe they did not map out the sequel trilogy well enough or they just changed their plans with every new movie/based on reactions) and tlj definitely stoked those flames to hell and back!!! and caused it to become a really really huge thing. which all led to the mess that was tros. and it would be wrong to pretend that any director that isn’t lucas has creative control over a sw movie but tlj just really does feel like a rian johnson movie (derogatory)

Loving the intro posts for the G1! I wanted to add a note about Gabe Kidd for people to be aware. Now I am no expert on mental health so apologies if I’m not explaining this correctly. He has been open about a lot of his mental health issues. Last year? I think it was he called out several people on Twitter to the point that Ospreay asked people not to engage with him and that it was a serious matter
However, I bring this up because a female wrestler called out one of her trainers of emotional abuse as part of Speaking Out and the person she accused Sid Scala was suing her for tweeting about it. And Gabe during all of this accused her of lying as Sid was his friend. Now I’m not here to say whether it’s right or wrong or justified or anything like that. Just wanted to bring that for people’s attention
Thanks for this extra info. Yes, I saw some of Gabe's posts on Twitter during his mental health crisis. I didn't include anything about it in my guide as it seemed like it was a pretty complex personal situation, and one where I didn't feel we had enough information to really know what was going on.
I'd missed his particular comments about the Scala accusation though. I've just looked them up. Yikes. I'd like to be able to put it down to him being in the middle of a mental health crisis at the time (since I believe it did occur around the same time), but also, he hasn't apologised for his comments since his return to wrestling, as far as I can see. And I know how tempting it is to give people a free pass when I'm a fan of theirs, which I'm determined not to do here.
As you say, important information for everyone to know, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

smh well now that I know it's you im just gonna randomly pop into your world and terrorize you w pretty women concepts oh noooo how terrible /s 😔
so. tengu!reader/yan!miko 👁👁
she "jokingly" bites you saying she's going to eat you bc your technically her prey but really she's just making sure no one gets any ideas. it took so long to gain your trust and lure you into the section of the shrine she made just for you after all. her own lil birdcage to hold her lil songbird
it'd be such a waste of time to have to hide their body and get you back into your cage. she wouldn't have done it if you'd just behaved, really. well. thats a lie, but what you don't know doesn't hurt you, right??
she knows all sorts of remedies to calm you down if you keep acting up though. she just wants to help keep your feathers nice and pretty and your throwing a tantrum. she just cant have that, can she??
she'll make it up to you with cuddles after. not that you'll get a choice in that either
i just think toxic possessive women hit different. Miko saw Ei get a bird and she wanted one so she just picked up your dumbass off the street and now you have. a few regrets - eros
GOOD. ALDSFJSADLFK pretty women <333
AND HELLO THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD OH MY GOD ik this has been in my askbox for a... hot minute now but i'm still frothing at the mouth
no bc i LOVE the fact that ei and yae have matching birds and i can shove kujou sara (or reader) in between them
like eimiko is cute and all but ei treating the bird reader all nice and friendly while yae straight up monches on the poor little thing- I JUST THINK IT'S A NEAT DYNAMIC IS ALL HASDKARJSADRHSAR
