#let them do their performance

[iguessitsjustme]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but your faves aren’t dating, they’re performing and that’s okay

#just remembering the discourse from last week #some of y’all buy into the act way too much #if it’s to the point that you are harassing others even if those people are strangers online #you’re too invested #it’s a very nuanced topic with a lot of discussion to be had #but that’s what my thoughts basically boil down too #y’all don’t know these people #you know their personas #you don’t know their life so please stop speaking for them about who they’re dating and whatnot #let them do their performance #enjoy it even #but don’t insist that it’s real cause it’s not #and it’s harmful to the actors and to yourselves to assume it is #anyway I’m going to work but had to get these thoughts out first #I may or may not end up being late we’re about to find out

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #His aptitude with subterfuge sleight of hand stealth and speed really push how being a ninja really comes naturally to him. #it’s arguable that his desperation for the spotlight and validation is an act of subterfuge against himself #note that when he’s offered a job as a mascot he’s fine being unknown #when he and splinter win the battle nexus Leo immediately says ‘they love YOU pops’ #idk I think so much about how good a ninja Leo is #and how much his persona is more an actor #Leo as a tot is shown a natural skill at katana too so hear me out- #every Leo is a natural ninja but every Leo’s route in life is directly tied to their splinter so #since rise splinter is an actor Leo too aims for it #and he brings it into his whole life - masking always because a Leo makes what they do who they are #I think that Leo naturally falls more in line with that of a typical ninja #his eccentric performer self is his subterfuge skill just set to an 11 at all times #not that that’s NOT him - like I said it’s still undoubtedly a part of Leo #but? idk I think about little moments like Leo being the only one to choose stealth in bug busters #or Leo being the only one to almost get Gus’s dog tags in The Ninja Art of Hide and Seek (he was so close but luck was against him alas) #like- he’s clearly in his element there and he falls into those skills so easily #it’s like how everyone has skills in so many things but some exceed more in some than others do #like Raph? Raph’s the biggest Hero of the bunch of them let’s be perfectly real here. Raph is THE Hero #All the boys are smart in their own rights but Donnie is THE Genius. #and they all have mystic powers but Mikey is THE Mystic Warrior with immense untapped potential #likewise Leo I feel is THE Ninja #but yeah I love how much Leo goes for the spotlight anyway for better or for worse #he IS a performer again make no mistake! but again the way he does it still lines up with his natural ninja aptitude and I love it #Leo loving magic tricks and magicians so much works doubly well here because like #you’d think he’s focused solely on the performance flair - no it’s ALSO and ESPECIALLY the DECEPTION

i have a special kind of annoyance for people who say fall out boy (or any band!) look “sad” or “bored” because they’re standing still while playing or have a serious expression like. just say you know nothing about them and also have zero respect for neurodivergent people and/or people who’ve had surgeries that restrict their movement and go

#sorry idk if it’s the neurodivergent part of me that’s like !!!!!! THEY DO NOT HAVE TO PERFORM EXPRESSIONS FOR YOU !!!!! #or the fact that like. i know about joe’s back surgeries and that he has explicitly stated why he doesnt do all he used to on stage #also deeply irrtates me when people pick on pete and say he’s ‘clearly so bored’ because he has a concentrated expression while playing #he does not owe putting on a big facial expression or anything to ANYONE just. please stop. #anyway i got a comment on youtube and its the same shit i see from this kind of person so often #and . i wish we would just leave people alone. both joe and pete have explicitly stated they’re having a great time #just fucking let them do their thing. they dont owe you a big fake performance to prove it.

You know its true that out of the four stone toa we know Onewa is the exception due to being An Asshat but i think we could focus more on Pouks being the white sheep of a flock of goats. Hes the only one of them who was like, formally employed and working an actual job as a toa. His siblings are just his coworkers. I dont think he knows a sport. He was so glad Pohatu and Hewkii were nothing like Onewa for all of twelve seconds before dreadfully discovering that they are exactly like Onewa, just in previously unimaginable ways, such as the batshit circumstances of their toahood and accidentally kicking a ball into each others face at mach speeds for fun

#bionicle #onewa #pouks #pohatu #hewkii #random talks #pouks is like oh finally some nice pleasant boys im surprised onewa could raise them like that ahah #only to see them perform some Inscrutable Meathead Ritual with their turaga and ruefully going ah. no yeah theyre definitely his proteges #they invite him to play kohlii and hes like 'oh sure um what are the rules?' #and they stare at him dead in the eye for five minutes before seizing him for an EMERGENCY KOHLII CRASH COURSE #hewkii: ok we're gonna play the post-bohrok version for this-- #pohatu: noooo lets play classic #hewkii: we CANT play classic youve got Armored Feet and hes as frail as a desert rose you would KILL HIM #pohatu: but i like classic better!!!!!!!! #hewkii: so do i!!!!!!!! #pohatu: then lets play classic!!!!! #hewkii: NO YOUD KILL HIM!!!!!!!!! #pouks (growing more afraid by the minute): this is fine

Some days it just makes me unbearably sad that we will never really get spirk because Paramount thinks queerness is acceptable only in non-legacy or "unimportant" side characters because it wouldn't really damage their reputation. Which isn't really queerness at all if the leads can't have it.

#Just makes me really sad that they do so little to recognize the canon queerness they HAVE #And will invent new ways to introduce characters as queer or queercoded without having to put in real work to normalise it #Like making jokes about Chapel dating a girl or giving Ortegas a haircut does not make them queer in my mind #I need to see queerness performed. Queerness embraced. Queerness woven into the narrative #That's what makes spirk so special. #star trek #spirk #space husbands #k/s #kirk x spock #spock #s'chn t'gai spock #james t kirk #captain kirk #I just don't buy that a 23rd century utopian socialist world is straighter than ours today #they're probably so queer they're past the need for labels. #let Spock be queer. #It's not a win that Chapel had a comment about being bi. It means Paramount thinks she's so unimportant that she can't be a threat. #Let my girl BE bi!!!!! #erica ortegas #christine chapel

hey not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but what if the results of the semi-final were leaked to provoke people who are boycotting and and make them vote for anybody else just so israel won't win? and earn more money off us in the process? hold the line.

#them winning could be actually good news bcs it could bring more media attention to their propaganda #and more media attention to their war crimes #it would be preferable for them to not perform at all yes but let's work with what we have #and what we have is BDS telling us to boycott esc. do it. #eurovision #boycott eurovision

[angelsdean]

me, dean, and everyone else watching: ok sure, sammy

#vics spn rewatch #spn 1x10 #the apology is made worse by j*red's inability to actually sound sincere #he's doing his fake sympathy voice and it is so. grating #adds a fascinating unintentional layer to sam as we've talked abt before #and it's like not necessarily a Bad thing to perform rather than feel sympathy #but like. this is very much a non-apology and dean knows it and we all know it #sam DID mean those things on some level. maybe not as harshly as he said them bc his anger WAS being heightened by the ghost #but those feelings were real #and sam is allowed to feel them. but they are in many ways. a projection and also unfounded #sam literally could leave at any time and dean would let him go (as we'll see in thee very next episode!!) #just bc he feels those feelings doesn't mean they're inherently true #dean isn't keeping him trapped. dean isn't just blindly following orders. dean Does have a mind of his own #and in fact dean isn't being all that great of a dutiful son bc he actively is not all that interested in finding john!! not the way sam is #and you'd think for dean being the one to initially show up and ask sam's help that he'd be more invested in finding john #and making sure he's actually alive instead of following random coordinates to a case. and taking on every other case they find too #anyways. sam's feelings of anger are real bc he feels them and it's okay to feel things #but he's massively misinterpreting and projecting things onto dean #and then he feels guilty (like post-possession) and tries to swipe it all under the rug and claim he didn't mean any of it #but he Does. and dean knows it. everyone knows it. #his perceptions do not align w/ what's really happening. bc he doesn't have the full context. #bc he doesn't know just how complicated dean's relationship to john really is. bc he was sheltered from a lot of that. #he sees dean desperate for approval and a good little soldier #when in reality dean was playing peacekeeper and mediator and punching bag most of their childhood. #and rn dean doesn't really care that much abt finding john. he just wants to hang out with his brother #not samcr*t btw. we love all this abt him it's spicy it's crunchy it's tasty

🎩🦷 The world is their stage!! ✨💎

I feel like, if somehow, Caine and Miku were to meet, they'd end up being friends. They're both omnipresent digital performers with some level of stardom (in their own respects), they're both overzealous and over-the-top, they both just want to have fun with everyone, and they're both known for either Causing the Horrors or Witnessing the Horrors without actually understanding the Horrors.

and,

apologies in advance, Miss Gooseworx

@gooseworx I hope you like it. (and sorry for pinging you, if it's frustrating)

#moom makes bullshit #digital art #art #the amazing digital circus #vocaloid #caine #hatsune miku #tadc caine #vocaloid miku #crossover art #please do not tag as ship!! #they are simply friends and fellow performers! #I AM SO PLEASED WITH HOW THIS TURNED OUT HONESTLY #it's so colourful and yet so toned and i am OUH #i just think they would be frens #let them have the frens momence somewhere outside of canon

i am begging on my hands and knees for jon matteson and bryce charles to sing a song together. since i first watched npmd, every single day without fail i have thought about their harmonies together in hatchet town (“if he gets me next i could be three” and “fits the bill, he fits the bill”) literally the sickest harmonies in the entire show, i turn into a little gremlin every time i hear them. their voices sound SO good together it actually makes me a little ill. my favourite song my favourite line my favourite harmonies, their voices blend perfectly and i am so desperate to hear them sing a duet to hear them singing together again pls pls please pls pls pls. pls.

#the ‘if he gets me next i could be three’ harmony is something else #nobody understand what that line does to me and the indescribable joy i am filled with each and every time i hear it #give me a song where they sing together doesnt even have to be a full duet ill take anything PLEASEEEE #and dont let me be the only one who feels like this i know some of u bitches get the same crazy chills i do on those lines #hatchet town best song and i will die on this hill #only a little bit insane about them like a normal amount i promise #bryce said this was her favourite harmony to sing in the whole show as well and i felt SO validated when i heard that #they are both such incredible performers and have such fantastic vocal abilities it just makes sense to pair them together #please #im asking soooo nicely bestie starkid pls pls pls pls #and they sound so good in every single version both live and studio absolutely unparalleled talent #also i think corey is also singing on the fits the bill line but my point still stands it sounds gorgeous #corey can join them too actually. bryce charles jon matteson duet with a corey dorris feature #i would drop silly amounts of money for it #ok i think im done i can shut up now #sooooo much brainrot from this musical #npmd #nerdy prudes must die #hatchetfield #bryce charles #jon matteson #starkid #tilda rambling

one of the best Fandom Discourse Topics is the one about how this female character i have minimal to no interest in is TOO GOOD for my male blorbo. she can do MUCH BETTER he's A CRAP BOYFRIEND and so that's why he has to be paired with my other male blorbo, who lacks The One Braincell and thus will believe himself to be in a wholesome loving relationship in the endless fluffy fanfic i will read/write about him and BLORBO, THE WORST POSSIBLE CHOICE for that female character.

obviously i ship her with this woman she interacted with in one scene, who is also SUCH A QUEEN YASSSSSS. god i love this wholesome lesbian ship between these two women who probably don't even know each other's full names <3 <3 <3 i might even hit reblog on a gifset of their one scene together someday. i probably won't, but i might.

so anyway back to blorbo and how amazing he is, i bet he'd be a great boyfriend for this other white guy.

#this is not a fandom-specific complaint (in case you were wondering) #there's an essay to be written about the increasing use of surface-level-progressive ways to get rid of the women in our fandoms. #like really. it shows that we know we shouldn't be doing it but we don't actually want to stop so let's just say they're lesbians. #BONUS POINTS - this means anyone shipping her with a man is now automatically homophobic :D #at this point i personally feel like it might just be best to ignore the women entirely if you have no real interest in them? #because the pretending does tend to look performative and like you want to make other fans problematic so you can 'win' by default #fandom wank #god forbid a fictional woman want that absolute waste of space ugly abusive bastard who i love more than life itself!!

okay listen neil newbon would absolutely deserve to win best performance for astarion at the game awards and I’m going to applaud if and when he does. however. if devora wilde isn’t at least NOMINATED alongside him you can all expect me to make some angry posts about it.

#sorry if you didn’t like lae’zel (wrong opinion) but devora fucking KILLED that role. went into the woods and wrestled it into submission. #she sawed off its head and put it on a pike next to her tent. #they both gave incredible performances but i think lae’zel was a tougher role than astarion #because nobody pries at lae’zel. you have to tell a story with her to people who aren’t really interested in working for it #and so all those little mannerisms that make her feel really alive become much more important #the actual text of the dialogue can’t do as much heavy lifting because there just isn’t as much of it #so SO much of her character really comes from devora #while astarion’s chattiness means our impression of him comes much more evenly split from his writer and actor #who both did fantastic jobs!! again bg3 is an abundance of riches when it comes to exceptional performances #and I’m not even TOUCHING wyll or gale yet. OR AMELIA TYLER who honestly will probably be neil’s biggest competition before devora is #but anyways. expect Posts. You’ll get them. #although on second though. seeing what the internet did to laura bailey … maybe we Should let a guy take this one. #Rhi talks #ok to rb

Dealing with newcomer's embarrassment gets easier if you are surrounded by people you have no respect for.

#oh this other professional saw me do something stupid that messed up my paperwork? #but she does shady things worse than the mistake i just made on purpose to make a buck #oh i just said something dumb to my boss #give him a few hours and he'll say something even dumber to me #oh no the guy who has been working at this job for twenty years just saw me make a rookie mistake #agony abounds but he just did six other things a lot worse than I did all in one day so i'll live with it #oh no the manager is a little disappointed with my performance? #so what he's a pushover and he won't say or do anything about it anyway i'll do better next time #oh no my one coworker hates my guts #she hate's everyone else's guts too and literally never shuts up about it #i'm not special #it sounds kind of depressing--and it can be #but i have a lot of affection for these people regardless of their issues #i just don't really let my failures around them bother me too much anymore because i honestly don't care what these people think of me #i'm not going to make the same mistakes ever again #but i don't have to let this stuff keep me up at night because i did something wrong #if i'm not going to go to them for advice why do i care what they think about me? #it was something that i realized a few months ago and ever since it's made things a LOT easier to deal with #plus #these people aren't dwelling on my failures either #they all have their own stuff going on #yeah they might harp on it for a while bit new things will come up and eventually they forget #they aren't thinking about me that much anyway #XD

this twist is so bad..

why would production think that anyone would want to see this shit? its so fucking boring like nothing is happening.

also.. they have to know that everyone hates c*m and j*red right? like sure c*m has some racist facebook stans, but j*red? pretty sure everyone doesnt like that man.

they should have just had a battleback with all previous evicted houseguests instead. yeah theres a good chance that those two wouldve won anyway, but at least its not a guarantee and everyone knows its just because they were a better competitor and not some awful, boring ass twist.

#bb25 #big brother #like this twist is so lame #and j*red and c*m suck so fucking much #i really hate both of them and either one entering the house would be tragic for the women in that house #and im sick of production doing something good one time so they can get their “we arent a racist programming” points #and then turn around and let women be sexually harassed and emotionally abused #its all just so #performative
