[how-queerious]

been seein lot of posts calling the cast weird for the way they/their characters are being with the whole "destined" aspect of callowmoore but like consider who does and does not seem to outwardly ship it that way.

maybe there are things and dynamics i've been missing but to me there is a clear division between which characters (not actors) are pushing it and which are not; The main people seeming to push for it are FCG, Imogen, Laudna, and Fearne. The main people just watching and not really swaying either way are Orym, Chet, and Ash. Here's my thoughts on the possible motivations for that from a character perspective. With that in mind, I have focused on the PCs here; I have all the love in the world for matt as a DM, but to untangle the intricacies of his character work in literally even just one episode at a time is a whole other post. Accidental essay below the cut y'all.

broad strokes are that the camps are divided primarily* by who has and hasn't had extensive adult romantic relationships. Laudna, Imogen, and FCG are all experiencing what seem to be their first real adult relationships, and have had notably, explicitly little experience with romance at all beyond that. Fearne herself, despite her age, also seems to have had very little experience with romance and love (remembering that casual or platonic sex is not romance). They have all been starry-eyed and naive about love in prior episodes, and Laudna in particular has a childlike view of it. To compound this, Fearne has been lonely the vast majority of her life, just her, her nana, and their companions of questionable sentience and willingness. Exhibited in some of the darker episodes, and stated by ashley (at some point), she is literally just learning how to feel as mortals do in the prime material plane. Many of us as young shippers were drawn to the allure of the "Soulmate AU" for a lot of the same reasons.

On the other side of the coin, we have the three opposed or neutral. Chet and Orym, unlike any of the others, have both experienced long-term mature romantic relationships. Though Chet often focuses on the sex, and Orym tends not to focus on anything if he can help it, both have shown in their character choices and interactions with people from their past that they have the understanding of mature and healthy(ish) romance. As a contrast to their knowledgability, Ashton has only ever been burned by what should have been love in the past, and has not experienced romance. They have spent their whole life fighting fate, and will continue to do so for at least the time being. He is just learning to let themself love platonically, of course they don't want to follow "fate" to a romantic relationship with someone as chaotic and beautiful and terrifying as Fearne. They'll do the cool combos with her, and he'll flirt and tease, but anything else is unknown territory in a field already littered with the casualties of their past attempts to trust.

Though they may seem to be pushing for this fated dynamic in a way that feels very off for CR, there are genuine and realistic character motivations for them to do so. Perhaps I'm putting too much thought and faith behind it, but I think the specificity of who is or isn't pushing speaks great volumes to the fact that these are all people who have a wealth of theatric and improvisation experience and knowledge behind them. They are all actors with more than my lifetime of hard work behind this "silly game" they play, and I think we ought to consider that.

#like idk them personally but c'MON #aside from their DECADE of play experience #they are all professional actors nd improvisors #i feel like we should give them a little more credit here #long post #in this essay i will #critical role #i do kinda ship callowmoore as fuckbuddies btw #i am projecting my maybe-aro-ness onto fearne about it tho #gimme gimme gimme #callowmoore #callowmoore positive #ashton greymoore #fearne calloway #fresh cut grass (cr) #launda #imogen #southern gothic (cr) #orym of the air ashari #chetney pock o'pea #not to interact with the disk horse i was in the trenches of 2017 broadway and 2018 voltron #but i just had thoughts i hade to give to the universe

Once Upon a Studio Frozen!!!! | Analysis

I'm screaminggg! The teaser trailer for the ' Once Upon a Studio' short looks so amazing, especially with the glimpse of Elsa, Anna and Hans! Okay I knew Elsa and Anna (and Olaf too of course) were gonna be in this but Hans to make even a cameo, I did not expect. It didn't cross my mind at all!

“Do you think all the villains will show up? - Anna

“Not all.” - Elsa [Freezes Hans in the frame]

Haha I love this! This definitely is a hint to something. I mean is it really just a coincidence that Hans makes another cameo and that too with Elsa showing her "despise" for him? I think not! Disney clearly is aware some of us want Hans back and as redeemed, so then why bring him back each time as a reminder of his crimes and how much he's despised by Frohana, especially Elsa? Well my friends, this is deliberate. They want the love - hate relationship dynamic between them because it is the most obvious but perfect dynamic between them. I'm sure some of you have seen movies where this dynamic plays out between couples and it's loved by some so why not use that for Elsa and Hans? I mean think about it, why would they keep showing Elsa showing Hans more hate than Anna has ever seen be showing? Of course Hans actions to Anna, leaving her to die with a frozen heart, would have got to Elsa personally and Elsa can't take him killing her personally because she wanted to die but then you say "it's been more than 3 years, if Anna's gotten over it, why can't Elsa?". Well sometimes when you don't understand why you hate someone more than necessary, it's because it means something else - in particular love.

So imagine if Hans does come back in Frozen 3 and whenever, however, he shows up to the sisters, Elsa would be the first one to make a movie and get her ice powers ready (just like she was when she was just about to attack Bruni), but Anna stops her because well obviously freezing him wouldn't be the right thing to do as it has been a while anyways. Just like how Kristoff was going to deal with Hans but Anna stopped him and punched him herself, though this time I don't think she'll punch him. I mean you would think it's Anna but I'm sure she's well over Hans and all the things he did (not saying she has forgiven him yet) but given the recent Elsa attacks on Hans (in Frozen Fever and now, though non cannon, in the 'Once Upon a Studio' short).

But yeah point being, with all the Elsa Hans content going on, I have a feeling Disney's going for the love hate dynamic between Elsa and Hans. A bond that is urns from hate to love. I have a whole long post, about how Hans could be redeemed and why they need each other, coming up and another one on Hans' role as in 'The Snow Queen'.

I'm secretly hoping for Hans to escape that ice and come out through a different frame but I don't think it'll happen - but then again you never know! 🫣

I dont rly watch anything on youtube that isnt martial arts/true crime related, but I still find myself clicking on every single new Lauren Southern video that I see because that woman is the ultimate definition of the Quencing of the Conces and I just find her complete lack of self awareness and ignorance of this fascinating. Anyways in her recent vid she cries about how difficult it is to travel abroad as a person with past and present ties to uuuuuh interesting people, but like, this is exactly what u wanted and preached for lady! Oh no! did the Mega Strict and Oppressive travel and immigration policies you cheered for all these years affecting YOU now?? 99% of what she describes in the vid is just the average travel experience of anyone with a Middle Eastern passport (yes, even a HWHITE Israeli one) and for anyone who made the mistake of being born looking slightly like Bin Laden et al. Like 'they demanded to go through my phone and through all of my stuff!!' and 'I missed my flight because I got pulled aside for questioning!!' are just.......oh noooo first time?? jahsgjhasdv LMAO

Welcome to the club girl enjoy your stay!!

#Lauren Southern #u literally championed this idea for a wholeass decade and suddenly its Bad and Communist and Fascist because ur on the receiving end jhbfh

none of you have any clue how happy I am to see fallout on all my social media again, I simply do not care how much spam of any one character there is. spam me more. post 90000 gifs of the show and the games, send me every Cooper post. I don’t care if he’s the most popular b’lorb de jour, I’m just glad to see ghouls get attention and I’m out here cheering on the sidelines for every character that gets even a glimmer of the spotlight. gimme all your art of random NPCs from the games idc how obscure they are. post those OCs and post them often. I’ve been in love with this franchise for SOOO long, seeing it be loved and enjoyed on such a massive scale just brings me infinite joy. show me your MtG fallout cards. tell me how you got into it, I don’t care if it was from 4 or 76 or 1 or New Vegas. or just the show. or maybe even the tabletop. no gatekeeping, no one-upping, just. enjoy. enjoy that we got a show that isn’t garbage. enjoy that there’s so many new people and show them around if you’re an old critter like me.

#gatekeepers? hello whoops I’ve exposed you to this silly little metal orb #don’t mind the flash you’ll be fine #drops my screwdriver while opening the demon core cutely #fallout #I’m quite cheesed abt all this I love fallout so much #Cooper Howard having an actor from Alabama that’s throwing on the accent is getting me #like you never hear southerners in the games much if at all #and hearing someone with a real accent and also being praised for it is just music to my ears #YES tell me my yeeyee ass accent is hot I’m absorbing it after decades of being mocked

[frazzledsoul]

So Matt Czuchry has been making the promo rounds recently because apparently he's still alive on American Horror Story this most recent season and the season was split in two parts.

Apparently he was on The Talk two days ago and he was accused of ruining the love lives of teenage girls for decades

First of all, I am sick of the knee-jerk misandry that claims that any man Rory Gilmore dates is not good enough for her, because she's such paragon of fidelity, moral character, and good behavior. Has anyone asked if Rory is a good girlfriend and if these guys deserve her? She cheats on or with all of her boyfriends (with Dean and Logan, she's done both), she pits these guys against each other often, she frequently lies and misleads them about her intentions (this goes along with the cheating), she very rarely is repentant about any of this, and she also has the nerve to play the martyr (hello, bridesmaids: hello, being pissed at Jess for not waiting for her in season 3) when her track record does not call for it. I'm not saying she's always awful, but I think the only seasons where she was fair to whoever she was dating were season 1 and season 7. The rest of the time her record....is not good.

Furthermore, Dean and Jess seemed to struggle for a bit after Rory leaves their lives for good and then they get considerably better without her. Dean had at least one kid by 2011, so I'm assuming he was married and settled by then, which is really all he wanted in life (hopefully he got some therapy first). Jess is an author, co-owns a business, and is accepted in a community of his own by 2006 (and is emotionally stable enough not to hold Rory manipulating him into more love triangle bullshit against her). Logan never really gets a break from any of this in the canon we see (and is just as big of a cheater as she is in AYITL) but even he is personally and professionally stable by that era while Rory spends most of AYITL throwing epic tantrums and destroying any professional opportunity she gets.

Why should the boyfriends, who actually exhibited considerable character growth, should be forever declared "toxic" and perpetually morally inferior to Rory when they became more mature (okay, Logan has a mixed record, but Adult Logan works and he gets along with his dad, so we'll take it) and she did not? Why isn't anyone asking if the way Rory treats other people is behavior we want young girls to emulate, instead of only holding the boyfriends to account for what they did wrong?

Yeah, yeah, I know. This is the perils of being a main character written by Amy Sherman Palladinos: you leave her orbit and your life gets better offscreen. But Rory holds a lot of blame for why these relationships didn't work, especially since she keeps doing the same thing over and over. She should be held just as accountable for the things she did wrong as her partners are.

Honestly, Czuchry is being a lot more gracious than the situation calls for here. He showed up to promote his most recent project and a random Tik Tok was waved in his face accusing him of ruining the love lives of young women for years, because of what his character on a TV show did LITERALLY DECADES AGO. Why are y'all mad at him? He didn't write this. He had zero control over any of this. Why is this his fault? This ain't why he's there. Go yell at ASP if you're still mad and leave the actors alone. Credit goes to him for not trying to play Team Logan and be diplomatic because I don't really think he signed up for this discourse here.

This isn't an issue that is isolated to Czuchry: Milo also made the Interwebs mad when he asked to defend Jess's behavior on a talk show a while back (promoting a completely different project) and he pointed that Jess was literally a child when he was a main character on the show with a lot of childhood trauma. But hey, let's get pissed at the actor for pointing out literal facts again.

And Czuchry is right here:all of these characters were flawed, none of them behaved perfectly, and you should not model your real life relationships on any of them. This is not a tale of evil men ganging up on a helpless damsel. There's plenty of bad behavior to go around for all of them.

#matt czuchry #rory gilmore #gilmore girls #stop asking these actors about decade old storylines if that's not why they're there #this got very southern but matt was raised in tennessee so it's fitting

you ever just get depressed thinking about how much good fandom analysis is just in discord servers and is becoming more and more ephemeral? Even more impossible to go back to than even twitter threads.

#like god the number of conversations in the southern gothic server about various characters and plots and motivations #and the theorizing! #and it's all just. smoke #one of the most interesting things about becoming a xena fan a decade ago rather than when it aired #is that there were websites to go back to #with analysis and essays and article clippings from that time #sealed in amber and perfectly preserved #g o d #I need to make a neocities page #like man there is a lot of comfort to having conversations like this in a place like discord where people aren't there to try and start shi #as opposed to discourse city here #I can read old forum posts but scrolling back through a discord to find a particular conversation? that maybe I wasn't there for? #HAHAHA kill me #anyway #it makes the librarian part of my brain hurt

this year i will learn to become a better cook and have fun while doing it !

#having to cook for my family for nearly a decade has sucked the joy out of it #now i see it as a hassle and a chore and most days i’d rather starve than force myself to cook because nowadays i hate cooking -____- #but this year i will force myself to have fun and try new recipes outside the usual mexican and southern dishes i usually stick to :3 #and while i’m not a bad cook (aka have never heard a complaint from anyone i served) i want to get better #and broaden my horizons to new techniques and methods #text post #ribbit
