I'm sorry you're having a hard time :( any exciting ideas about what might happen in the new season, I personally am going feral with all the possibilities

Awww tysm Nonnie 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

Okay so this is more of a wishlist of what I want to see but:

Pining Eddie

Chimney breakdown

Bathena being happy before the diaster happens

Buck breakdown (we have multiple breakdowns in one season it's fine)

Madney and Buddie game night (I just think it'd make since for Maddie to invite Eddie to one of her poker/game nights that we got from s3 and also this is before Buddie is together)

Chimney and Maddie (+Buck) disowning their parents before the wedding

Bridezilla Chimney!

Ravi leaving the landlord business *cough* and getting a boyfriend *cough*

Badass Captain Hen

More Maddie and Athena scenes!

Maddie and Eddie besties era!

Chimney and Eddie besties era also!

As well as Eddie and Karen besties era!

More Buck and Bobby scenes

May interacting with everyone else more

Hen and Karen dealing with raising a baby again and being an adorable family

Beautiful Madney wedding that's gonna make me cry 😭

Hi! I've almost finished Paper Girls and I'm curious why KJ didn't want to meet her future self. I know she mentioned earlier that she was afraid she'd become who her mother wanted her to be. But when that turned out not to be the case, she still chose to run away when she had that chance at the cinemas after talking to her future partner. Did I miss something?

I love KJ for this, actually, because her reasoning seems to change over the course of the season. Initially, she doesn’t want to meet her future self because she’s been told all her life who she’s going to be, who she SHOULD be, and she wants nothing to do with solidifying her mother’s wishes into reality. She knows who she is. She’s dark humor and helping people up and field hockey. She’s her. She doesn’t have any interest in some random woman telling her otherwise, the way Erin has had to deal with. She doesn’t want to find out there’s no way out of that box she’s been trying to break.

And then she sees herself, sees her girlfriend, sees her future of NYC and film school and being an amazing burgeoning director—and still wants nothing to do with it, because talking to that version is going to solidify something else. Something she isn’t quite ready to speak to, even if she knows in her heart it’s true. Something she has never once put into words, and even now that she’s fully aware it’s there, still eludes her. (“When did you know you were the kind of person who liked….movies?” “I think she might be…I think I might be…”) This isn’t a preteen in 2022; it’s 1988 and she’s in middle school, in Ohio, and already has her parents and antisemitism to deal with. She is reeling. Of course she is. Coming to terms won’t be automatic.

That’s why I love that she talks to Lauren, not future KJ about it—Lauren isn’t her. Lauren has the ability to say, “We all do this on our own time, there’s no rush. Do you want to talk more about it?” Adult!KJ, by virtue of being herself, wouldn’t be able to do that. She’s living proof of something KJ is just learning to sort out for the first time. Talking to her before she’s really been able to sit with it properly and figure out what it means would be doing the same thing she was avoiding at the start: telling her who she is. And while it might eventually be reassuring to find out she’s happy being who she is, it also must be so overwhelming. KJ needs to come out at her own pace—to herself, to others—and talking to her comfortably-gay adult self might feel less like being led out of the closet, and more like being shot from a cannon. Her running away from that feels like the last preservation of agency she has in coming to terms with it all on her own time. And it’s only after that moment—a comfortable adult queer person telling her it’ll be all right—that she can even begin to let it settle in.

#ask #paper girls #paper girls spoilers #kj brandman #i love that she isn’t interested in facing down her future #she doesn’t need anyone’s assessment. she gets that every day #and then—when she has no choice but to stumble into it—it does feel good on one level #I didn’t go to business school. I’m an artist. i fall in love with movies and I’m good at it. #but also: I’ve always been different and this is why. it’ll work out—sort of #I’ll find someone who loves me. someone I’m comfortable in my skin with. #but I’ll still be hiding from my parents. so not everything has changed. there’s still things to cope with there #and in the meantime I can no longer pretend this isn’t happening. and it’s happening on TOP of time travel and people dying and MAC #it’s so much for one kid to cope with. of course she ran. maybe if they stayed in 1999 until the next folding she’d have built up to it #but at the start? this kid who is a roiling mess of stress and a distaste for being told she HAS to be anything? #of course she runs. it’s the safest move

ES TUT MIR LEID, aber ich habe eine unholy writing prompt, falls du mal irgendwann Lust drauf haben solltest. Imagine this: peter und skinny treffen sich irgendwo betrunken auf einer Feier und fauchen sich die ganze Zeit nur an. Ab irgendeinem Punkt kippt die Stimmung und skinny nimmt Peter mit Nachhause. Skinny hatte sich auf unpersönlichen hate Sex eingestellt, muss dann aber feststellen wie überraschend desperate und willig Peter ist und das macht ganz klar was mit skinny … just an idea for their first time. Idk.

Oooh, that is a *very* interesting idea! I love it! If I remember, I'll definitely get to this when I'm done with the Kink January fills!

#peter/skinny #prompts #i mean it! it's great and *so* up my alley! #i'm just too busy to get to it right now with the kj prompt fills xD #ask #anonymous ask #drei fragezeichen

i'm white european from fuck nowhere so i don't get some things inherently, but like. yeah. some of the stereotypes and images in gway writing are ancient enough in comics and sci-fi even for me to know... the man might be well meaning (and i believe that) but he knows fuck all and has never learned. weird that i've seen people think that posts like yours are somehow extreme when it's the mildest take

yeah id like to be very clear that none of this stuff is exceptional or remarkable. these are all problems that are very, very ordinary and endemic to a lot of the genres and tropes that gway enjoys writing. but the fact that other writers (frequently writers of color!) are criticized for much nitpickier things while gway gets a pass (despite, you know, going to art school and being in this business for WELL over a decade at this point) is really just not a great look

#ask #anon #assuming that kjs tv show gets made i personally cannot wait to see in which ways gway will disappoint me next!

Yesterday was a uh. A dark day for the Amphibia fandom, huh? I saw what happened and I was so disgusted/distressed that I had to talk to a friend to calm me down. I'm still reeling, and still disgusted and angry. It wasn't just one, it was TWO people who were storyboarders for Amphibia making That Stuff. I don't even know if I can like the show anymore?? Why can't we have cartoons/shows that don't have gross stuff happening behind closed doors?? HHHH... (Sorry for rambling btw) - IDFS Anon

yeah I didn’t really want to comment on the whole situation because it was a lot… sigh, I’m just shocked still.

just to clarify: KJ and Sook are not on the crew in any way; only Alex is on the crew. if we are also bringing back the older hannah ayoubi and pegushi/bokoboko situations, then yes, these two were also crew.

a sad lesson learned for frog fans: never meet your heroes. placing alex on a pedestal after people started coming for the crew was always gonna end up badly.

#ngl when I saw kj sook and Alex hyping up bokoboko’s stuff.. I knew something was amiss #but since no one talks about bokoboko.. I just let it be #I am not excusing anything.. but crew on children’s shows get weird about their kid characters and it just. Is like that sometimes. #that culture definitely needs changing.. but it’s gonna be a long haul #amphibia #this is a whole doozy and I don’t want to think about it too much (mostly because I have many things I’m preoccupied with) #so my philosophy is just unfollow. not like they were interacting with me at all anyways haha #candy laments #IDFS anon #glad you managed your emotions out with a friend dude.. always good to have a healthy release :)) it’s been a long day.. hope you rest well #asks

i raise you eddie saying “parents and teens fight, it’s gonna be okay” not even realizing what he just said and then walking away leaving buck like ???

YEEEEESSS

Eddie just walks away leaving a stunned Buck behind, goes to his car, drives home, takes Chris to school, and it isn't until comes back home (probably doing laundry or getting ready to take a nap) when it hits him.

At first he's all like

But then he just relaxed and shrugs, "Well it's not not true" then goes on with his day

Meanwhile Buck is going through his five stages of freaking out bc that had to be a slip right?? Ofc that would mean everything if it wasn't but Eddie couldn't possibly see him as another parent. He's not worthy of that blah blah blah

They do vulnerability with Mac so well, and in such careful doses. The soft reverence in the way she says, “They had tons of clothes” breaks my heart. So does the confidence in her mispronounciation of “chic”—a beautiful little reference to comic!Mac being a reader, often above her grade level, but feeling like she has to hide it. This kid has so many layers, and she wants so badly to keep anyone from seeing that, because in her world, every layer offers a new chance for someone to slice in deep. Prioritize tough. Prioritize cajones. Don’t let them see you’re smarter than they expect. Don’t let them see you wish you had more than your brother’s hand-me-downs. Don’t let them see you’re dreaming of getting out in a thousand tiny little ways. Let them remember only the brash outer surface, the one that can’t hurt when they don’t like it, because it isn’t really you.

Contrast this with the desperation in her voice when she thinks it’s all going to be erased. The panicked apologies. The hitch in her smile: “Let’s be honest—you couldn’t [forget me], even if you tried, right?” She knows there’s only so much road out ahead of her; she’s seen the stone in the ground. And she’s begging them—with that smile, always play-acting, just a little—to tell her again she’s more than just a tough little shit-starter. To tell her she’s worth remembering. That they will, even if she can’t stay. If I’m going, that moment says, I want it to be when you three can see who I actually am. I want friends. I want to be remembered. I want to matter. It’s all built to with such careful detail work over the season, and I am desperate to see more of it in the future.

#paper girls #paper girls spoilers #mac coyle #and for them all to instantly agree #and for KJ to take it a step further and invite her (all of them) to her bat mitzvah #saying in no uncertain terms ‘I do not surrender this. i do not resign myself to forgetting any of you.’ #‘there is a future if we make it’ #i think that’s one of the core themes of this show. making the future on your terms regardless of what the world says about it #Mac gets the short end by far—but as she says #she’s not dead yet #and none of them are fooled any longer into thinking they’re just #rich kid. honor roll. new girl. shit-starter. #they’re all nuanced. they’re all layered. layers aren’t handing someone a knife and asking them to wound you #i need to see the next steps now that they’ve all sort of had time to wrestle with that idea for the first time #but Jesus any time I see someone shit-talk Mac on Twitter my hackles go up #cuz yeah she kind of sucks at the jump. she’s meant to. she’s a little kid who has only learned to shield from violence #and she’s learned to do so by projecting that violence outward #it’s her arc. learning that it’s okay to be kind. that there’s strength in Erin’s compassion and KJ’s empathy and Tiff’s brains #that there isn’t just one way to wear her brother’s jacket and ride her brother’s bike and be a carbon copy #that she can be herself and be valued and loved and goddamn I need a renewal

BIA MY BELOVED

for the fic assumption thing, I definitely see you as a romantic as well. I also see you as a quiet romantic who loves for of the domestic aspects of a relationship. Like I can see you love just cuddling on the couch, or making a meal together. I also think you love pining but especially domestic pining where they pine for each other while doing dishes together. I know you said this about me, but I also think you value emotional intimacy as much/if not more as physical intimacy. ❤❤❤

KJ MY DARLINGEST!!!

i am big on quiet domestic romance for sure esp bc i am an avid hater of pda skdjdk but i don’t think i’d consider myself a romantic unless hopeless romantic counts in which case. my lord.

pining is my favorite part 😭😭😭 genuine the amount of ppl i almost dated and then didn’t bc i got bored once the feelings were mutual and the pining era was done help—

and yeah i def value it probs more than physical intimacy lol

WUV U

what do my fanfics say about me?

Joey my belobed! All wip's sound so good (super excited for girl!buddie) but I would love to hear more about fwb college roommates!!

@constructiononqueersunset hello my love!! again, there isn't a lot for this written out but I have an idea of a scene I want to write.

they will be snowed in. Eddie has already kissed Buck once while he was drunk and they've both chosen to ignore it. Buck will probably be like "im so bored :/ wanna make out?" and Eddie will agree because he has a secret crush
