I’ve been having some Thoughts™️ about the weird meta paradox of gerri kellman’s sexuality. as basically The Older Woman on the executive floor she’s trying as much as is possible to blend in with her male colleagues while also not being perceived to be doing so. muted colours and understated makeup. a competent filing cabinet. her husband is dead and her daughters are nameless. she was sexual once but that’s out of sight out of mind and now it’s just the work. it must be a relief in some ways to become finally unfuckable because you’re over 40. she can finally be taken seriously, but only if she toes the line between being too female and not female enough. trying but not too hard. desirable in the past tense only. an honorary man but still in a skirt. and while the men around her can fuck their much younger assistants and get sports massages and run a sex trafficking ring on a cruise ship, she is the job and only the job and that keeps her safe. for a bit anyway.
the irony of gerri saving the company from the full legal extent of a sex scandal by dating someone from the DOJ??? like i’ll never be over it. even filing cabinets have to flatter and please and fuck when called upon. i genuinely don’t believe any of the other execs could have swung it because they’re not women. she dated laurie (generally unseen unless framed from another man’s possessive perspective) to save the men from going to jail for covering up rape allegations. the irony is delicious. and even though she did that, she’s discarded once she’s framed sexually. Dick Pic Gate was out of her control and yet when confronted with any element of gerri’s sexuality (even her PASSIVE sexuality, even after using it to save his company), logan dismisses her as weak or impractical or failing or whatever other excuse he uses to justify his disgust.
i would argue that roman’s interest in gerri is not in spite of but BECAUSE of her asexual framing. it’s a challenge that he’s never going to win which is ideal for his impotency issues; he can push and push and get the thrill out of it, out of the fucked up power dynamic, but he knows he’ll never have to actually fuck her. it’s all hypothetical: down a phone, through a door, half-joking, covered in sensible skirt suits. gerri’s deliberate lack of sexualizing is counterintuitively a turn-on for roman. and i bet the game of chicken they play is freeing for her too because the fact that she has to be professional and cannot be sensual is part of the fun of it. “roman is weird about gerri”. “it’s fucking disgusting”. not because of their family history, or their professional positions, but because she’s old. because the absence of her sexuality is enough of a presence to be off-putting. shiv patronising her about it as a power play is so weird because she’s talking to her simultaneously like a child and like an old woman, and gerri, agency-less, just has to keep reassuring her “i can cope”.
BUT it’s worse than that because it’s so meta. Because gerri is hot. her actor is attractive and like roman, many people watching find her sexless, no-nonsense framing to be titillating. me included. what if roman likes gerri not because of oedipal issues but just because she’s hot and god forbid we find a woman over 50 hot? but whether or not gerri is hot in the context of the show shouldn’t be a big deal, she should have been able to escape this by now!!! she’s in her 60s she’s a widow she’s tired stop sexualizing her!!! but don’t NOT sexualize her either because that’s problematic too and old women can be hot and old women shouldn’t have to be hot and suddenly i’m making gerri do what waystar does and exist as something sexual and non-sexual at the same time. she has a huge plotline in which she’s essentially a sex object. whether or not gerri is fuckable is talked about as much in the show with mildly-disgusted fascination as it is in the real world!!! she can’t win she’s hot she’s old she’s sexually framed she’s deliberately trying not to be she wants sex she doesn’t want sex she’s covering sex with sex and she’s telling roman to leave her alone so she can just do her damn job because she knows that this is what will bring her down!!! sex scandals historically don’t get men fired but an unsolicited dick pic knocks gerri off her podium in logan’s head forever. even now i’m talking about it at such length because i’ve given it so much thought!!! she’s the only woman in the old guard and she’s one of the most sexualized characters in succession. but only as a joke. in the abstract. never actually. because that would be weird. right?

One thing my brain keeps going back to about Pacific Rim (besides the rad giant robots) is the whole existence of kaiju organ harvesters and their implications.
Like, you have Hannibal Chau, a bizarre and interesting character, but we’re presented with a black market operation that seems mostly interested in the “alternative medicine” uses of kaiju parts.
But my brain demands to know: what does the corporate kaiju harvesting industry look like? Sure kaiju blood is toxic, but there are plenty of toxic materials that have useful applications. Are there chemical companies studying kaiju organs? Big-Pharma jumping on the kaiju bone-powder bandwagon? Are bio-tech firms studying kaiju hide to make tougher materials? Agribusinesses clamoring to acquire kaiju crap for fertilizer?
I’m picturing something like the age of whaling, when humans hunted giant animals and carved them up to feed insatiable industries. Whale-oil lighting lanterns for entire cities, whale-bone being used in everything from knick-knacks, tools, umbrellas, and corsets. Ambergris alone was used in perfumes, medicines, cooking. It was even added to wine as an aphrodisiac.
We glimpsed how kaiju affected pop-culture. Now picture a kaiju smashing a city, but the stock market going up for construction companies (rebuilding the cities), vulture real estate (buying the destroyed land cheap), and all the other corporations that profit from the systematic dismantling of a kaiju corpse and making money off of its parts. Sure, a city was roughed up and who knows how many thousands are dead, but it’s a better windfall when a kaiju makes landfall. It’s always less profitable when jaegers kill them too quickly; sea-based extractions are so much more expensive.
Imagine entire industries, entire economies that don’t just make money from the devastation of kaiju attacks, but grow dependent on them. And then the laws, the squabbles over those valuable, resource-rich kaiju corpses. If a kaiju attacks one country but keeps rampaging and is killed in the country next door, who has claim over the body? The party who was damaged more by it or the country where the corpse physically is? Bidding wars over “cleanup” contracts that cut corners and are only interested in collecting those sweet, sweet, kaiju parts as fast as possible, even if their official mandate is supposed to be the safe removal and cleanup of a toxic substance.
Once jaegers started getting efficient at killing kaiju, the people with all the money became less interested in solving the problem of kaiju attacks and switched to merely managing the industries that kaiju-killing feeds.
What? You want to put more resources into R&D to try and close the Breach? Whatever for? The kaiju comes out, jaegers kill it, and the “host country” gets the proceeds from the kaiju’s body. It’s a win-win for everyone. Why waste time, money, and effort solving a problem that isn’t a problem anymore?
Everything is under control.

so i'm rereading trc with my friend and we're currently on bllb and i just read chapter 30 and in it blue's asking malory what gansey used to be like before he moved to henrietta and the gansey that malory describes to blue is so different from the gansey she currently knows and i just cant stop thinking about it.
first off, malory describes gansey as "small" as in not just his height but as in gansey was young and it makes sense because at the time gansey was 15 but it just kind of does something to my heart when i think about young, small gansey trying to figure out why he's still alive.
malory then goes on to say, "He was still trying to prove that he hadn't just hallucinated. He was still quite obsessed with the event [his death] itself." gansey first died when he was 10 and to be obsessing over your death for FIVE years trying to convince others but mostly yourself that you didn't make it up that you actually died and not some part of a childs imagination it must've fucked with him so bad???
then malory tells blue exactly how obsessed gansey was with his death and was to the extent that he was always drawing bees and hornets and "Got screaming nightmares over it- he had to get his own place since I couldn't sleep with it [...] Sometimes these fits would happen in the day, too. We'd just be toddling through some riding path in Leicestershire and next thing I knew he'd be on the ground clawing his face like a mental patient." the gansey that blue currently knows doesnt act like that but this was only two years prior its fucking INSANE and it's here blue starts to think about the facade gansey had learned to throw up since he was a kid.
AND IT GETS WORSE SOMEHOW?? earlier in bllb in chapter 3, gansey talks about how he felt like running and how it had been a long time since he had felt that way. at the time it didn't make sense like wdym by that gansey but then back in chapter 30 malory tells blue how gansey just disappeared one day. left most of his bags and left without a word to anyone not even his family who then called malory to ask for gasneys whereabouts. "He picked himself up and moved on so easily, so quickly. He had done it so many times before England, Jane, and it was old hat to him."
it makes blue rethink every conversation she had with gansey previously, similarly to when adam heard gansey's voice of fear in the cave in chapter one where gansey had the panic attack because its around this book where the gangsey start to figure, as blue puts it, "It was more like the Gansey she'd seen was a partial truth."
it's so very easy to pass off ganseys insecurities and his feelings about how he should comfort other people but they shouldn't do the same for him because he's had it the easiest (his words not mine) because he himself skips over it so fast. like he'll mention something and then act like he's never thought or said it, like its something normal which really isnt and then it slowly makes sense that gansey throughout the series, starts to lose that mask (there's multiple masks but thats a conversation for another time) and the readers and the gangsey get to see what the real gansey is like instead of the bulletproof, untouchable gansey they're used to seeing.
the idea of gansey running is insane in a good way because its nothing like the gansey we know, plus paired with the fact about how young gansey has me clawing at the walls because he's just this kid desperate to prove he wasn't hallucinating, trying to find some purpose to his life before he finds it in henrietta. a kid who was still terrified of his death who relived it, screaming every night who still had panic attacks anywhere and everywhere and would end up clawing at himself because there's hornets everywhere. a kid who doesn't stay in one place too long who learns to put on an easy smile to convince everyone okay and gets so good at it that it works and people think that hes normal and okay when he's anything but.
idk pre canon gansey is something that i need to inject into my bloodstream and analyse in a lab.

Wanted to share some quick sketches I did of some Blue style inspiration if you have any suggestions/thoughts let me know- here are some of my rambling thoughts
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really like anti fashion fashion for her and tried looking for outfits that almost felt a little too much, mostly in patterns and textures. I really like looking at fashion from New York and Japan with a little Y2K and 90's grunge flare.
Colors are almost always consistent in my head, I really dig turquoise, cyan, green and magenta. Obviously blue is important but its also very melancholy, green is her green thumb and magenta her femininity. occasionally i'll throw purple in there because I associate purple with feminine regality which feels like 300 fox way in all its gaudy nature
of course there needs to be that handmade feel/handmedown feel. as the youngest girl of my family as well i used to get many handmedowns from my older cousins so this feels personal lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just really like the idea that blue, visually looks stuck in the early 2000s or 90's with all her older female relatives living with her- as if she relates more to that fashion than whats modern.
I'm taking a lot of genre insp from Coraline as well as Juno. I think Blue would just look very twee.
anyway feel free to add to this i just really like Blue.

I was thinking about the masters outfits earlier and I never realised how much missys style still effects the master.
I realised this while comparing the saxon masters outfit to the spy masters, because they are very different. Then I realised, both Missy and Dhawan!Master are total outliers from the rest of the masters
The master typically wears all black, and only occasionally wears more extravagant, colourful outfits
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yana/The war master was a bit different, and big finish actually seems to give him quite a lot of variation in his outfits
Tumblr media
But then going back to simm master, it's mostly black again, with just a pop of colour. Mainly red, which I think is a good choice for him, but also a little bit of green, which I find interesting, I suppose it matches the war master outfit above.
Tumblr media
Then we have MISSY! She wears almost entirely purple. Sometimes darker, sometimes more vibrant, but pretty much always purple
Tumblr media
And then the spy master (Dhawan!master) also wears purple, but he's also introduced some blue, and what i think is actually red but it often looks orange
Tumblr media
He had a couple outfit changes but this was his primary outfit. Its so much closer to missy than to any of the other masters. I like that. I like the idea of expressing characters through outfits and so the choice to have him be closer to missy in that respect fascinates me

Do you think the revs ever… well not regret taking sabo in but realize they had no clue what they were getting themselves into? They fish this poor boy out of the water and expect to be dealing with a sad little wet beast scarred in two ways by the world maybe with the drive to fight back and instead 5 years later have to consider if Cthulhu herself wasn’t letting her kids go for a swim and if they accidentally stole one because this thing can’t be human.
Do you think they have to disclaim to the fish man revs this is not normal human child behavior?
Yes to all that, but I think they also realize the positives outweigh the negatives in many ways.
I like to think that sabo is the rev's golden boy. Like they watched him grow up from just a 10 year old boy and progress so much to the point where he's been awarded the title Chief of Staff.
Tumblr media
So this is what Wikipedia says a chief of staff is. What im getting from it through my terrible reading comprehension is that the one with this position works with planning, but mostly with the people of any rank. They make sure their staff is operating at optimal levels and is happy and content.
Solving problems? Mediate disputes? A confidant/advisor to the chief executive?
Sounds like this guy is just the bestie of the army. It sounds like to me, that this guy does such a good job at making people perform their best because he knows how his besties work. And in turn, his besties are like “i love this guy actually. He might be really fucking weird and he also might not have blinked in like a good 20 minutes, but he understands all of us. He takes the time to know us and appreciates us on a personal level. I feel like with this guy around we can do anything.”
And if there’s ONE THING we know about the revolutionary army, is that inspiring people is what they’re all about. That one scene with Belo Betty is a great example of the rev’s way of victory. They inspire people to fight for themselves.
The Rev’s don’t have millions of staff members, they only have one base. They cant be at every single place they start a revolution in to protect the citizens from what comes after revolting. So what they do, is they to teach them that they can be their own heroes, how to sustain by themselves, and most importantly, HOW TO UNIONIZE!!!!!
AND THATS THE FUCKIN BEAUTY OF SABO OKAY????
BECAUSE IF THIS GUY ?????👇
youtube
WAS ON YOUR TEAM. AND HE DID THIS SHIT???? WOULD YOU NOT FEEL INVINCIBLE FOLLOWING HIM????? WOULD YOU NOT FEEL LIKE YOUR BACK FUCKIN COVERED BY THIS ABSOLUTE BEAST????
Not everything he does is conventionally “correct”, but he gets the job done and he figures it out, okay??? Sometimes you have to just go running face first into a stream of gunfire to get👏shit👏done👏 and Sabo is more than willing to. On really any given occasion. He wants to. Please let him do it, he begs you.
Because what sabo exactly is inspiration. That’s what those three brothers are! They are inspiration. They are freedom. They are fire. They are hope. They are tragedy. They are One Piece. Quintessentially
T L D R:
Sabo is a force of nature and the rev army’s bestie. He may seem stupid and impulsive, but the reality is that he does what needs to be done with no hesitation. That man inspires many, knows his army, is strong as hell, and is just a great guy. Taking in Cthulhu’s baby was the best mistake they ever made.
He’s also absolutely clinically insane.
Thank you and good night [takes a bow]
Edit: im posting this right after i posted a pic of him painting his nails. The man’s got range, I’ll give him that.

Spotify is trying to get out of paying independent artists...
Next year they plan to change their rules to instate a 1000 stream/song/year cutoff under which songs will not make money at all. Worse, if the song doesn't reach 1000 within a month they will not pay EVER for that month even if it makes it to 1000 the next day.
These may not seem like huge amounts per artist but it adds up to millions of dollars and sets the precedent of not paying artists for their work. They will not stop here without a fight.
Shameless hypocrisy from me:
So why did I link a Spotify playlist? Those are my tracks with under 1000 plays this year* 🤣 Maybe you'll find something you like and we can keep the fractional cents flowing 💖💸💰
I have 21 000 streams this year from thousands of awesome people like you - I am not far in this journey but am well into the top 20% on the platform, so you can imagine how many artists are going to get nothing at all.
What you can do
If you want to help artists buying on Bandcamp is the most direct option. For streaming I can vouch for Tidal being a platform with better payout rates, better sound quality, and a smoother interface - not perfect but a lot closer. If you're willing, there's a petition in the above link I think.
If you are a musician and want to stand up, join UMAW. They are a new international union, the first representing artists and music workers in the new digital era. They already have impressive wins including getting Ticket master venues to stop taking merch cuts and improving pay at SXSW, a top US festival. They have sliding scale dues including potential exemptions for artists who can't yet afford 3 dollars a month (a thousand streams in Spotify terms). And we get to be in the same union 😉💖
Going forward I don't know if I will remove my stuff or what. I don't want my music unaccessible to my fans and that is the largest platform by far. I would love to hear what you think. I just know that I am privileged to be able to afford to make music and don't want to see this becoming even more closed off to the vital voices that haven't got funds or support. Between AI and streaming, one wonders if musicians will even exist in the future - let's keep the future full of dancing and merriment instead of this technofeudal nightmare the Daniel Eks of the world want to embrace.
*Noella might seem like a lie since it lists well over 1000 streams on my profile, this is the album version though and that's the single.

YJ 2.09 SPOILERS!!!
what really fucks me up about nats death was that she was the only one of the 6 whos life wasn’t actively getting worse in the 1-2 weeks leading up to the hunt.
shauna was in the midst of getting investigated (and probably going to prison for) murdering her lover, with police at lottie’s “intentional community” to track her down as the hunt was happening. her relationship with her daughter was deeply fucked up. overall, things were really going to shit for her.
taissa was sleepwalking again. her wife was dying in the hospital and on the verge of divorcing her. she ran to van for help, for comfort, and ended up taking off her wedding ring and kissing her.
van was dying of cancer. she was using pain meds to cope with it, and letting her business go into debt because it didn’t matter, because she was going to be gone soon anyways. as lottie stated, she more than just lost her spark—she was completely hopeless.
misty had a range of things going on: her relationship/relationship struggles with walter, her own involvement in the adam martin situation, her feelings of isolation from the other girls. while it’s harder to point to one thing and go THATS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MISTY, like a real human she’s more complex than that and still was not doing well.
lottie was terrified. her visions were back, and so were her friends, and her only solution to either was the hunt. she just wanted the wilderness to leave her alone, and she did what she could to get it to.
natalie, once her attempt was over, was the only one who was getting better leading up to the hunt. she was getting clean, getting answers about travis, reconnecting with lottie, seeming more and more stable and at peace with every episode. she starts season 2 off resisting everything lottie and her community has to offer, and then in her own way, adjusts and becomes a part of it. her wardrobe shifts from her regular clothes, to more flowy, lottie-like shawls, and finally, full heliotrope in the finale.
for most of the other girls, death would have been a release from their problems-some of which would have resulted in them dying soon anyway. nat was the only one who didn’t. this is what destroys me the most about her death: she was the only one doing better, and she was the one to die.

thoughts on that Wednesday Addams show
-the writing is incredibly juvenile in a way only an adult man who is not actually nor ever has been an "outcast" could accomplish
-that being said all the actors were really amazing! Especially Jenna Ortega!!!
-One thing I liked but felt was more by accident than by design was the way that this school of "outcasts" were like, really normal?? Like theyre just teenagers who happen to not be human. Which makes the fact that Wednesday is a human who's Not Normal kind of compelling. Wish this was an intentional idea though, it could've been played with a whole lot more.... also i just kinda wish they'd picked a word other than "outcasts" to call them. like oh my god i could absolutely see some line during the climax where theres all this petty teen drama where someones like "i might not be human, but at least im not a Monster like you Wednesday" woulda been AWESOME
-Wednesday's love triangle was lame and if she had to get with a guy I'd've preferred Eugene. I love his sibling relationship with wednesday sooo much. One of my favorite dynamics. However if she HAD to get with a guy. Id pick him. He reminds me of Joel from Addams Family Values.
-the fact that two guys fell wildly in love with Wednesday without her doing absolutely anything and also very clearly not returning the sentiment whatsoever and instead just using them whenever she needs them was really funny and on brand, wished the show had been self aware about it
-I really wish the other female characters played bigger roles? Like Enid was Great and I loved the glimpses of her friendship with Wednesday and Thing and their HUG omg,,, I wish the romance plots had been axed in favor of giving Wednesday's friendships more time to shine.
-I also wish Enid and Wednesday had danced together at the Rave'N. Enid goes and dances with all her friends but she never goes over to have fun with Wednesday :( it just felt wrong like, narratively, we saw how excited Enid was about Wednesday going to the dance and then the camera seems to cut to show Enid get excited from watching Wednesday dance and then they dont even Talk?? I hated that.
-also, Bianca. I really loved the way she was basically friends with Wednesday by the end of the show. Wish the show had done a better job at the Enemies to Friendly Rivals to Friends dynamic. Bianca in general is a REALLY cool character that I want more time with.
-Both Enid and Bianca would've made better love interests than the guys imo
-I did like the mysteries, though I'm not sure how well it actually works with the Addams. Because they wound up adding this plot line, no spoilers, about Gomez being accused of murder and Morticia gets super touchy about it. But like?? theyre the ADDAMS why would they be behaving like this about a death???? Makes no sense to me. Needed to be reworked, cuz there definitely are Ways to have made it work imo.
-I really loved all of the costuming for Wednesday though the color correction done on the uniforms makes me kinda sad. i think it would've been fun if the school had been more vibrant and full of life to better contrast who Wednesday is and how she stands out.
-Wednesday's relationship with Morticia is really weird, but in general I get the feeling that certain people involved didn't actually know what Morticia's character was like... at all? And a lot of the problems with the family dynamics stems from this mischaracterization of Morticia in particular. I know some people didn't like Wednesday going through a rebellious phase, but I actually think that fit her character just fine, it's how her parents react to this rebellion that feels out of character to me.
-the fact that they had a romance arc about a werewolf who struggled to be a werewolf and an awkward gorgon..... Very Monster High 2022 to me ngl
-Wednesday is Autistic and you can't convince me otherwise. Everything from the way all of her social interactions are written to the way she literally diverts eye contact whenever theres a closeup shot while she talks to people. shes just like me fr.
overall i give it a 6 out of 10. I wouldn't go around recommending it to people, it's kinda bad, but I got some enjoyment out of it,, so not fully the worst.
But Also if you haven't seen it I WOULD recommend you go watch the fanmade Adult Wednesday Addams series on youtube. It's a classic!

Hi, this isn't how I wanted to do this, but since the user in question blocked me before I could reply, there is little I can do in this situation. In retrospect I wish I had taken a screenshot earlier so that people could see this user's arguments and concern in their own words and not paraphrased by me. They deserved to be heard.
I felt the need to address this issue like this because it may effect other players and I want a concrete answer on what I thought was not a big issue at the time.
This user came to me with ask above in regarding the name and pronoun configuration in Chapter 1, which allowed player to switch their pronoun and titles now that they are an adult. When I first got the ask, I read it under the assumption that those who wished to play trans MC may not have understood the option of "people address you differently" imply either or both the name change or the change in pronoun/title. This user said that was not the case because they wanted to keep their name and did not like the fact they had to input the same name to switch titles. Instead they suggested to switch the order of the questions asked title first -> name second. Which I thought was a minor contrivance in the grand scheme of things because in the end of the day the player still gets to choose the gender and name of their MC, whether it changed or not.
To which I received a response that I was being transphobic and I was being performative. Perhaps I should have worded my response better, but insulting me this way and leaving before I can understand what the real issue is not conductive to anyone and leaves everyone else hurt and upset. And I'm frustrated because now I still don't know if that part should be changed or not. Or is this is a bigger issue I didn't know existed?
I am not trans so I can not fully understand all the issues that transpeople face or the perspective, but I can empathize and I am always thinking of being inclusive when it comes to customization for the MC so players can play exactly who they want to be. This issue was not brought up during playtesting and no one else came to me with the same issue since the update, so I thought it wasn't egregious enough to warrant change. If this was a problem, then I think more people would come and let me know. Am I missing something??
So I am going to ask players who play trans MCs, did you have an issue with that section (name & title change) and wish it to be changed? If so, how would you like to have it done? And to that user, I know you will not see my response, but I am sorry if you felt attacked, triggered, or hurt with my response. It was never my intention.

First Aid, snuggled up against Vortex’s side: You know, now that I think about it, cuddling isn’t always considered “romantic.” It’s nice, but—
Vortex, narrowing his optics: Wait, wait, wait. It’s not? What do you mean it’s not?
First Aid: I mean, I cuddle with my friends all the time! We’re still just friends, though, so it’s not romantic.
Vortex: But… what about holding hands? That’s romantic, right?
First Aid: Well, n—no, not necessarily. It all depends on the context, and—
Vortex: And kissing? Kissing is always romantic. It’s not—you don’t kiss your friends, do you? You just kiss me, right? And sex? What about sex? Sex is romantic. Sex is for us, and not… it’s not… you don’t sleep with your friends, do you? First Aid, do you fuck your friends, too? Are we even dating? Am I just—oh my god, am I just a friend? Is this not romance? First Aid, what’s going on? Are you trying to tell me something?
First Aid: … Vortex, what the fuck.

Tumblr media
Something about how Mac was able to suppress his instincts and let himself be. And how he threw compliments at Dennis left and right. And how he looks to Dennis for decisions to try and make him feel like the leader. And how he complimented Dennis on what a great job he does as said leader. And how he let himself touch him here and there, their arms brushing or his hand winding up on Dennis’s knee. The way he tended to Dennis and made him feel helpless by poisoning him but then using that only to look after him.
What I’m saying is that this is everything Mac has been doing. Everything Dennis told him to stop. This is everything Mac did to make Dennis fall in love with him.
Tumblr media
But Dennis may very well still be here. He tried to separate entirely but it didn’t work. It didn’t work. Recounting how he found the Sinned system didn’t happen, Mac and Dee asked him why he had a system for men and he SHUSHED THEM. Dennis claimed the system and its accountability because it worked on HIM. And how could someone get Dennis, the golden god, to fall in love with them? He’s never really felt that has he. We’ve never seen it in a relationship not even with Maureen. How could Mac of all people get Dennis to fall in love with him? It must be some sort of algorithm.
What’s more “I’m in love with you and I see the efforts but I can’t be with you because what if it ends” than setting Mac up with some other dude? Distancing it all from himself. And maybe a reasoning for why he can’t stop feeling that way is because Mac used this over YEARS over the decades that they’ve lived together.

Dennis held his hand as he ripped Mac’s heart out. I have nothing to say about this but I can’t stop thinking about it. And I don’t like the way this looks like it’ll end.

the scene with Mrs. Lana actually kinda rips me up man. JJ looks so painfully SCARED the entire time. like maybe he's heard all this before. like maybe when women start screaming n men start yelling it reminds him a little too much of home. in the way that makes him want to run that makes him want to move and drive and get as far away as he fucking can. but he's too goddamn good. and he won't leave John B no matter what. so he squeezes his eyes shut and later when he pretends he was brave John B won't take that from him. will let him be as big as he needs to be to just keep moving.
