#still wanna know who tf the Director is

[zerachielamora]

Layers 2023 really ties it all together.

The wife committed suicide, and the money that came from her death the Painter wanted nothing to do with, so it was used to make a foundation.

A foundation that started a writing contest.

That the Writer won. So she wrote a book about the Painter and his family.

Then the book would be adapted for a film, that she wrote the screenplay for.

A film that the Actor was cast in.

#layers of fear #lof ramblings #I love this so much #I will say tho bloober implied they might answer some questions regarding 2's lore and thus far I haven't seen anything for that #we got more context and info in LoF1 why not LoF2 when so much supernatural lore was dropped?? #still wanna know who tf the Director is

THE OWL HOUSE SEASON 2 HAS CAPTIVATED ME, so here are my reactions/thoughts to episodes 18 and 19

Episode 18: FINALLY MORE GUS TALK!!!! We get so much information about all the other characters I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK MY GUY GUS WAS BEING NEGLECTED!!

His power is so cool, I need more people to be as excited about illusionist magic as me and Gus are! HE LITERALLY CHANGED THE WHOLE SCHOOL AND TRICKED THE HEAD OF ILLUSIONIST COVEN!

Speaking of, the head of the Illusionist Coven being just some wanna be director is fucking hilarious, he is a snob and I hate him with a passion but I want to laugh at him, so much

Gus literally saving all the students at the school too is being SEVERELY looked over right now, like DUDE HE LITERALLY SAVED ALL OF YOU!!!!

All the guards this episode had me in stiches!!! I WANT MORE GUARDS BEING FUNNY IDIOTS!! ESPECIALLY SEVERINE, god, someone get Severine some therapy, like SLAYYY GO BACK TO THE TINY CAT COVEN! GET SOME SELF ESTEEM BACK!

Obviously, i cannot talk about this episode WITHOUT talking about our boy, Hunter.... who was living in the school stage. Listen, I won't judge the guy, he is homeless, his whole life has been thrown upside down, I feel for the guy it was just a surprise! (/lh) ANYWAY, I LOVED THE GUS AND HUNTER FRIENDSHIP GROWTH! From the sharing of the breathing thing (TWICE!!!) and the comforting each other AMAZING

Amity and Willow learning how to be friends again was also an amazing plot line, I love to see how their friendship will expand

Episode 19: THE WEIRD DREAM THING??? AND KING BEING CONNECTED TO THE COLLECTOR?!? Listen, I still don't fully understand who the collector is BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THEY HAVE APPEARED IN ONE OF THE GANG'S DREAMS! Yeah, I haven't forgot about it being in Eda's dream too! I am very confused, it seems lonely, but evil, but also just a chaotic vibe, I am conflicted

POOR KING! He literally just found out traumatising news and THEN people keep treating him differently now?? I spent the whole start of the episode wanting to just hold King and keep him safe from everyone, HE IS JUST A LITTLE GUY!!! HE IS JUST A BABY!!!

BUT! Steve to save the day. I am now a Steve Stan. I am a Steve fangirl. If Steve has 1 fan, its me, if Steve has 0 fans, I am dead. BRING BACK STEVE!!!! I adore Steve, with every essence of my being, HE WAS ACTING LIKE KING WAS FAMILY AND- AHHH, best friends your honour, they are best friends

FUCKKK The Eda and Raine and Luz angst was a plotline I was NOT ready for after the absolute fluff that was King and Steve helping people and vibing. SOMEONE GET MY PAL RAINE OUT OF THERE!!! Plant coven girl is literally obsessed with them, tf

Eda just wanting to save the kids, to protect Luz and King- I will admit, it hit me in my feels, Eda still treating King as a kid (AS HE SHOULD BE) and Luz and wanting them both away from danger AHHHHHHH

Luz bestie, I love you, but PLEASE EDA WAS RIGHT

HOWEVER HARPY EDA CAMEO!!! RAHHHHHH, I am still obsessed with it, we need more of Harpy Eda in this show.

AND FINALLY, THE ALLIES!!!! GOD. I am obsessed DARIUS I KNEW I COULD TRUST YOU!!! I don't know if I posted, but I REALLY liked Darius but knew (well, thought) he was evil, BUT NO I CAN NOW FINALLY LOVE HIM! AND EBERWOLF! Didn't forget him (did just have to search his name tho)

OH AND! The Palisman!!! I was going to mention this as I hadn't been mentioned in a while, BUT CARING FAMILY BONDING BETWEEN EDA, LUZ AND KING!!! I fucking love found family. Can you tell!!#

IN OTHER EXCITING NEWS! I am about to watch the season 2 finale episodes! No idea what to expect, but I am literally addicted so will take anything, i am sad I am so close to finishing it though, as Season 3 has less episodes

BUT it means I can finally interact with the fandom, etc etc

Thank you to all following my journey watching the series for the first time

HI

ive been ever so sneakily updating the playlist on yt, mostly for lucio my beloathed and im here to share

BUT ALSO i went to look at lucios official playlist to check for repeats and was appalled to find that it was like half comprised of julian songs istg. im kidding of course its subjective but still the bidding?? THE fucking Bidding???? THE most julianest song ive ever heard and its on Morgassons playlist. i simply cannot even with this.

and so to start this off im giving the floor to julian with the entirety of Tally Halls The Bidding! *polite applause*

I've been sleeping in a cardboard box, Spending every dollar at the liquor shop/ (yeah this ones obvious) And even though I know I haven't got a lot I'll try to give you lovin' til the day you drop/ 🥺🥺(wait i just remembered mc technically has dropped one time already on his watch but i suppose hes learned his lesson bhjzdljzg)

I've been training like a Pavlov dog, Let my independence out to take a hike/(😩😩🙄🥵😤😤🥺come ON this is the most julian line ever) All you're gonna have to do is ring my bell/ (ok confession time i edited this line because this is the first time im actually reading it and im sorry but it looks so wrong who tf says Activate my Bell what in the hell) And I'll fetch you anything you like/ (in summary: heeeere subbysubbysubbysubby)

Going once, going twice, Every man here has a price/ (i highkey Love this one so much in relation to the game in general because boY DO THEY fucking EVER have a PRICE THEY GOT ME CRAWLING BACK EVERY DAY GRINDING FOR THESE DAMN COINS) Over where? Over there, sold To not a single lady in here

I've been here like a thousand times, Dated every woman in the atmosphere. I've been to every continent, Broken all the hearts in every hemisphere/ (mmm yaass we love a well travelled king. also yeah i can see that other bit being accurate, he is a catch) And if I'm not the type of guy you like to circumvent, Just remember not to love me when I disappear/ (yeah that sounds like him alright)

I graduated at the top/ (Mmmm we LOVE a medical degree king slay) I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie/ (maybe not exactly how it happened i mean he worked for him for the most part but i count it as a lucio reference lmao) So if you have a fantasy of being a queen, Maybe you should blow a couple bucks on me/😏😏

Going once, going twice! Won't these gentlemen suffice?/ (*brain animatic director voice* pan over to the rest of the lads standing at their respective game show-y podium stands; a somewhat disgruntled asra, lucio preening for anybody paying attention, muriel's left already) Any here? Any there? Any motions anywhere? Going twice, going thrice, Guess this means we'll go four times a lady

I promise I'll be all you'll need, ever need You'll never have to shop around (don't shop around) And I'll give you all you'll ever need, ever need, Don't worry I will never let you down, let you down- Don't worry I will never let you down/ (admittedly this doesn't sounds exactly like something he'd say, the insecure avoidant wretch of a boy kjbdfkjadf maybe a bit later, god knows hes trying bless his little heart)

So many ladies are wanting for mates, And the prospects are good but the date's never great- Over here, over there, over where? Anywhere! They're too busy with winning the bidding to care! And he's sold!/ (*film director voice* the gavel bangs one last time, the doctor & mc pushed into each others embrace laugh together before going in for a kiss; curtains fall; brain animatic over, credits roll kbhsrjkdgh)

Alright lets get the lucio show on the road number one: Central Cee Retail Therapy which ive been obsessively listening to basically every day now for some reason but also im skipping like half the song literally only because i genuinely could not understand wtf hes talking about in there lmao

Fly uptown when I'm feelin' down I wanna do retail therapy/ (only kind of therapy i can imagine him pursuing) Been with the gang all week I need some female energy/ (ok tbh i dont remember how it went with him and nadia before they got together but this line just has me picturing him in his soldier mercenary days, back home from whatever job, done with boys nights, lookin to get bizzayyy) Sucked my soul, I lost my breath She got me breathin' heavy, Toxic relationship with my queen But me and the T got chemistry/ (ok im just now learning T means trap house but imma pretend i didnt see that gjhfhkgk)

Told her that I'm a Gemini Now she on Google checkin' the compatibility, She wanna see if I got the agility She wanna see if I got the ability/ (this bit may be silly but the first time i heard this while thinking about lucio i just instantly went "omg itd be funny if hes actually a gemini and it fits" and i checked, hes not, of course hes capricorn lol (but also wasnt there that one time when they gave him two birthdays on accident jgxgnvgs that just makes this even more in character bear w me) and after i learned that i just instantly reasoned that, at least to me, him lying about his star sign to get with nadia totally sounds like something he would do xD im not sure i can see him putting in the effort of actually researching which sign is compatible with nadia, but i mean hey he wants to bag a whole princess hes got a lot riding on this he might as well memorise some charts dgkhgj/ ok update i did in fact google the compatibility for cancer/gemini and its utter shit😂😭 she actually supposedly is more compatible with his actual sign but also, like. come on. look at them. if any relationship can be used to prove that thats all kinda bullshit or bad writing for a game about all this astral stuff? its probably them lmao

I went 'round three, she want round four- she killin' me, ADHD, my trigger finger fidgety

Walk in- Walk-in wardrobe look like the stockroom - Mum said I'm materialistic/ (literally canonically them fr shes such a hater bmvxhkhx) When you're the boss, that shit will cost, I'm buying my mumzy a crib for Christmas I'm livin' a movie, but it ain't scripted/ (oh honey if you knew how scripted your life is) God is my witness, get out my business, Back in the day I had one pair of trainers I wore that shit 'til it gave me blisters/ (also pretty canonically accurate sentiment i reckon with the living in a hardcore arctic hunter tribe situation n whatnot)

numba tew: Panic at The Disco's Emperors new clothes~ the music video for this one kinda fits the vibe for his storyline too a little bit at least aesthetically lol

Welcome to the end of eras, Ice has melted back to life - Done my time and served my sentence, Dress me up and watch me die - If it feels good, tastes good, It muuuust be mine~ Dynasty decapitated, You just might see a ghost tonight/ (kinda could describe his debut as a ghoast (ghost goat?)?)

And if you don't know now you know

I'm taking back the crown/ I'm all dressed up and naked/ (naked ghoast ass mf) I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers) oooOOOh yeeeah, the crown/ So close I can taste it, I see what's mine and take it (Finders keepers, losers weepers)/ (yeah this bit speaks for itself i think, pretty biblically accurate lucio characterisation)

Sycophants on velvet sofas, Lavish mansions, vintage wine~ I am so much more than royal/ (i mean. mister I Deserve Everything. cmon) Snatch your chain and mace your eyes/ (man i dont know something something devil deal chains😭)

If it feels good, tastes good, It must be mine/ Heroes always get remembered/ But you know legends never die/ (yeeesss YYYEEEEESSSS UGH the auDACITY)

number 3: Nick Lutsko's Sometimes!

Swinging for the fences, Hanging from the moon, I cut my tongue on the rust of a silver spoon, I bet my billionth bottom dollar on a hopeless case-/ (i like those two lines for him being a nepo baby theyre so nice and evocative) And now the devil on my shoulder has a knife to my face/ (obvious allusion is obviousing)

Racing toward the mailbox With a letter in your hand But the postman's gone away, and you begin to understand- That you're no hero to this story, You're just another wretched pawn, Who bought his tickets to the sideshow And then slept through the alarm/ (UGH this song is just good i dont even have anything to say about that little blond bitch anymore htkjyufh no theres something in there i swear. about him taking on this bigger than life endeavour to acquire all this unimaginable power and dealing literal demons and barely even taking it seriously sometimes and not realising how played hes getting)

Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest/ Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest/ Sometimes all you gotta say is "mommy make it go away"/ Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass💀

Sometimes you gotta finish what you shouldn't have started/ Sometimes you gotta shoot before you see the target/ Sometimes mommy's gonna say, "You're not worth the price to pay" Sometimes the tunnel only leads to darkness/ (this is where im cornered into admitting i only associate this song with lucio cause of the mommy issues. yippee)

im not saying anything but if you havent heard these songs before theyre reeeally fun to listen to and worth checking out i prommy👀 i enjoyed thinking through this so much im not great at Lucio so the details might be iffy i hope it made any sense thank you bye goonight🥰🥰

@tetsuoooooooooo HII!

Ugh I can't begin to say how much fun it was to read all of this, thank you!!! I always love how you unpack the lyrics for different characters ^.^

I've just added all of your suggestions to the playlist and I'll put them on the tag too. (Istg I will never be able to listen to The Bidding the same way again, you've effectively Julian'ed it for me XD)

Cheers friend!

⭐️ any tfs section you wanna talk about?

(director's cut ask game)

Always! Currently thinking about some of the Maedhros angst (so, like, half the fic). Of course Maedhros spent all of part 19 having an extended breakdown, but it's actually the start of part 20 that I'm particularly pleased with. By this stage he's calmed down a bit and is just really really Sad.

Left alone, he paces a contemplative circle around his study and tries to think.

Maglor's hand cold against his cheek—

Not that.

Girl discovers a minor gesture of affection can be used as a recurring angsty motif and proceeds to beat it to death, more at 10.

Maedhros is not a very good son. He thinks he was, once, at least while his father lived; but then he knelt before Fëanor's hated half-brother and offered him the crown that was Maedhros' birthright, knowing as he did so that his father could never forgive this. Sometimes he almost revels in it. With every sibilant sá-sí that passes his lips he thinks, I am not like you. I will not be like you.

Although he cannot say it aloud, he is not a very good lover. Fingon is a miracle and a blessing and Maedhros loves him with everything he is, but he knows that is not enough. He is not now the fair and charming prince Fingon fell in love with in Tirion across the Sea; and for all Fingon has changed since then too, he deserves better than the war-hardened and distant shell that is all Maedhros can offer.

But he always thought – he always thought he was, if nothing else, beyond reproach as an elder brother.

hmm so obviously Maedhros has the worst case of Eldest Daughter Syndrome ever seen in fiction (he should have won that POLL I'm still not over that) and one of the ways this manifests is... a pretty weird self-image. For a long time I've seen him as very much defining himself by who he is to others, by his relationship with Fingon and his relationship with Maglor (and with his other brothers - but Maglor is his favourite and kind of stands in as a proxy sometimes. To quote from the Gold Rush AU, which is so pivotal in my understanding of Maedhros: "We all must lay a first stone. Maglor is my first brother." just spent twenty minutes looking for that line and devastated myself in the process anyway).

Tangent over! this way of defining himself by what he is to others, and to the two people he loves most specifically, is part of why Maedhros falls apart so dramatically when Curufin tells him they are dead. But thinking about it some more, I realised that wasn't an entirely complete picture. Maedhros is also, very importantly, Feanor's eldest son. I don't touch much on his relationship with his father in tfs, because Feanor has been dead for centuries, but that bullet point about how Maedhros views him and his legacy was important here. Maedhros knows he has betrayed a lot of what his father stood for; and for the most part, he doesn't care, but at the same time it's hard to conceptualise himself as a dutiful eldest son now.

It was only ever a delusion. Amrod and Celegorm both died because Maedhros failed to protect them, after all.

But this is different. He has killed Maglor himself – no need for metaphor. He held his little brother with one arm and drove a blade into his side with the other.

Who is he, if not that? What is left of him if Maglor is gone – if he cannot be Maglor’s protector anymore, because Maglor is dead – because Maedhros killed him?

I spent a lot of time agonising over that last sentence. It means more than simply "I'm not a brother any more if my brother is dead" - it's something far more destructive than that. Maedhros' self-image is now completely in shatters because of what he's done. Being a good older brother was his one thing and now, in his mind, he has completely failed at that and hence doesn't have a thing any more and hence doesn't know who he is any more. Because if he can't define himself as Feanor's son or as Fingon's lover or as Maglor's brother then what is left of him?

A slave, suggests the voice of Sauron that ever lurks at the back of his mind, a pretty toy to adorn the halls of Morgoth, nothing of any importance.

...well. There's a fourth axis to Maedhros' self-image. And he does, I think, struggle a lot with the objectification and dehumanisation of Angband; and this is something that really disturbs him now, since he's tried to logic Fingon into agreeing with him that Maedhros is technically a thrall. This is a thread I didn't really pick back up on in part 20, but I might end up doing so more later.

Maedhros shakes himself. It was listening to Sauron’s lies that got him into this mess, after all—

But that is not true. Sauron is not here, and it was Maedhros’ own unstable mind that betrayed him.

That is not quite right either. There was no division within him, no evil spirit that took control of his faculties: it was him. He killed Maglor himself.

How can he ever begin to come to terms with that?

some good old-fashioned self-loathing to wrap up this angst session. Maedhros distances himself immediately from any attempt to justify the stabbing. Is he being unfair to himself? Yes, of course. He wasn't in his right mind when he stabbed Maglor. But as far as he's concerned that isn't the point. The point is that he's dangerous, and he has incontrovertible proof now that he can't trust himself or his own judgement.

This is not stuff that really gets resolved in part 20, which was mostly deliberate. Maedhros has a lot to reckon with! And the blows he has taken from this whole incident are going to affect him for a long, long time.

Giacomo x Reader |The Friendship| Pt.1

[Some Background- This Reader is gonna be portrayed as an AFAB, and this entire story takes place after the whole Team Star Arc (Lol TSA) Anyway there might be some spoilers, but whatever. enjoy!]

|The Friendship-SFW|

You fell in love with him at first sight but knew that you couldn't ask him out due to having to fight. Oh, but now we're done fighting, right? No, we have nothing in common, golly will he even like me back as a friend. You know what? I became a straight champion of Paldea, I can at least talk to him.

Despite the stereotype of most teenaged boys being messy with their surroundings, Giacomo kept his base spick and span. The Gate stood tall and was probably recently cleaned, the big bell even looked shinier. 'Okay' the last affirmation you needed before ringing the bell.

"RRR-ING-A-LING! Hey who's at the gate? Wait, Is that Champion Y/n? O-hoh sh*t. Come on in!"

*oh sh*t? why are they worried? crap. am I that daunting?* thinking to yourself for too long at a time can prove to be dangerous, for example the gate's been open for at least a minute and every grunt is staring at you.

"Howdy." you stated with a quiver in your voice. 

There he was, as confident and busy as ever, with laptop in hand Giacomo approached. You can't read his expressions too well but you're confident in knowing that he was quite surprised by your dropping in.

"And What to I owe the pleasure in meeting with the sole person, responsible for all the ass-whooping?" he delightfully chuckled at his version of your introduction. 

*CRAP, All the grunts are here,  I don't wanna look like a damn fool in front of all these people* And you did it again, you zoned-out and went through all the possibilities of embarrassment, and he noticed.

"Suddenly not a talker? OK, how's about we talk in my tent." Giacomo was always the problem solver, thank Arceus. You nodded, and off you both went towards the head tent. 

The dread dwelled into your stomach, it's as if you got called to Director Clavell's office, but something was different. The weather was quite perfect, mid 70's, slight breeze, and some cloud coverage. But Most importantly you were going to spend some time alone with Giacomo, away from all those grunts. 

The walk was nice, but awkwardly silent, then he boomed;

"Alrighty, M'Lady we have *Arrived*" He attempted to say this in the fanciest way possibly whilst holding the flaps to the tent open. You couldn't help but chuckle a bit under your breath, but heard and was glad you're not in a terrible mood, as the sudden arrival did worry him.

Now, this was no ordinary tent it was quite spacious. It was even decorated with 2 sleeping bags, a desk, 2 chairs, a mini fridge, and an extension cord. You both sat down and kind of just stared at each other in silence after a quick hello. You broke the silence, stuttering and still very nervous.

"I know the last time I saw you it wasn't on the best of terms..."

"Put nicely. *heh*"

"*hah* .. Yeah, anyway I was hoping that maybe we could be-"

"OH THANK ARCEUS!" was the statement you were interrupted by

Now confused you gave Giacomo a look to explain himself. Unexpectedly he starts a short burst of laughter. Finally finishing, while still leaving you confused, Giacomo began to calm down and begin speaking.

"I honestly thought you came back for another round of battling, I got so nervous because I heard about the fight between you and Nemona." He made a face that could only be described as honest humility. He resumed;

"I'm assuming, but i figure you came back because you rather be friends, then just know me as the guy you beat up a while back"

"That's exactly what I planned to do. Man, I was so worried about you hating me and junk." you relaxed, finally telling him the truth. 

Now, how the hell were you gonna ask him out. YOU JUST BECAME FRIENDS. A moment of clarity hit you like a brick, you needed to slow tf down. Giacomo switched, now he looks nervous again, but only for a second does he wear that emotion. Back to a relatively normal expression, he proposed something; 

"Y'know if you wanted to hang out you could've asked sooner, but if you wanna go to Medali for some grub I wouldn't be to opposed to it" 

*Giacomo, stop reading my damn mind. But holy sh*t thank you*

"Of Course!" you piped up, a little too eager but its ok.

~*"Great, then its a date!"*~  

You got his number and more info for the date, then made up an excuse how your mom texted you and that you had to go home to help her. Walking away from that tent was chipping away at you with every step that you took.

Instead of actually going home you went and bought some clothes, for this "friend" date, nothing too fancy, yet nothing too casual. This is it, you are ready.

This is my first story hope ya'll like it and i look forward to writing more.

While everyone is looking at homestuck stuff today might as well get a shoutout for my currently unnamed music au featuring pitch vriskezi

(under the cut this time is only au stuff! Noone is gonna ask so might as well get the rant out now)

It’s basically a meteorstuck kinda au? Except I decided to say fuck it all the trolls are alive (mostly because I have a few songs in my playlist that are very much feferi<>sollox vibe and I kinda need them alive to be able to sing yknow)

So uh. Trolls are kinda bug-like. And they communicate with words, yes, but also with dancing, like bees? A lot of body language, especially when it comes to your quadrants; leaning on your moirail’s shoulder, grabbing your kismesis’ wrist to stop them from turning away from you... and also just actual dancing and stuff. So, trolls dance. But then Dave and Rose get on the meteor and teach them about how humans communicate. With music.

Cuz like, in the au, humans can get on the same wavelength as other humans via song. Singing is a way a human shows how they feel or think about anything at any given moment. You gotta learn the lyrics (unlike my other music au, which is also a magic au where the lyrics are chosen for you by fate gods aka me specifically and you dont gotta know the lyrics before singing) but like its sorta a bonding thing? and humans are social creatures so they gotta sing every once in a while or they get sadge

so the kids teach the trolls how to sing and thats all really fun and cool and whatever. meanwhile I’ve fallen prey to karkezi flushed propaganda via fanfiction so now Im sitting in the ���what if dave and terezi moirails” because they’re my favorite beta kid&troll and the dynamic they have in canon makes my insides fluffy in the way a good moirallegiance gotta get outta you yknow.

Anyways timeskip to after they win Im very much ignoring how by that point both sessions were lost and I decided both of the groups win and like the humans make a new earth ig and like they still have their godtier stuff (at this point Im just picking and choosing what I want based on random music from my 600 songs playlist being put on shuffle). and uh. Well dave becomes a film person (I wanted to say director but also he writes the movies so also scriptwriter and just. he makes movies). And decides to make actual homestuck’s plot into a 12 movies and ongoing film franchise that is basically as well known as like. star wars or whatever. but bigger bc I never actually watched star wars so I only know about it the basic stuff a person who once dated someone who watched all the star wars movies enough times to quote them offhandedly would.

anyways dave is stuck with the part where the trolls get actually introduced to the audience in non-text form and is like “can I convince a bunch of actors to dye themselves grey and put candycorn looking horns on their heads without anyone thinking Ive lost it” when actual trolls (all 12 beta trolls+a bunch of friendsim trolls I thought would be fun to put in+unnamed background trolls for the confusion of wtf is sgrub) land a ship in the middle of area 51 and immediately get cornered by human guards patrolling the area in case aliens ever crashed there.

Anyways is now a good time to mention rose grew up to become the person who runs area 51 because she is and apparently at some point during the 3 years on the meteor she pulled like feferi and karkat aside to go “yo so when we win the games if yall wanna stop by earth 2.0 Imma go run our alien communication center so just ask the people there for rose lalonde yea” and uhh. they do. the other trolls in the background are Confusion over who tf this rose lalonde person is. the human guards are confused abt how tf the aliens know the full name of their leader bc usually the aliens just go “we want to speak to ur manager” or whatever so one of them takes their walkie talkie and talks to her and rose is like “oh hey they made it btw is one of them wearing green and looks like a vampire tell her I love her” to which kanaya fckn melts ig. soft gfs.

and uhh. well at this point except rose all the other beta kids can kinda teleport? Jade is still part-dog, john is wimdy, dave stops time and powerwalks over then unpauses time... rose just calls her limo like “dude I gotta get to this specific part of the desert plz” and by then dave is having a passionate debate with the guards about how trolls are actually awesome and the guard is like “they havent sang anything to make me think theyre intelligent species” or whatever and then the 12 main trolls do like. choreographed dancing with rainbow colors and stuff to various feel-good songs in my playlist. And then dave starts live streaming with scifi tech he alchemized during the game that he kept around like “yo ik theres rumors abt the trolls showing up for the next movie can we all give it up to my moirail and the rest of these lovely folk” to which the internet immediately implodes bc imagine fckn. idk. big time movie producer just starting a livestream in which he casually talks to a bunch of aliens while his half-dog bestie is floating the in background.

yeah and then the protagonist of friendsim sees that happening and goes to talk to the friendsim trolls who are there and thats fun and idk

dave is really good at assigning trolls random songs they should like. my playlist is almost entirely clown cult music its all violence and bright colors and yelling into the void and starting a revolution over the fact you suck at video games.

also the alpha kids are there. because dirk strider is my favorite homestuck character I want to dunk him in my tea like he’s a sad animal biscuit. he also gets a song where he and hal are being passive aggressive and sad about prince of heart stuff ig

#homestuck #vriska serket #terezi pyrope #music au #413 #would yall believe it if I said the lineart is just the sketch but colored black instead bc thats what happened

[castiel-left-his-mark-on-me]

Hi, Ary, very inactive ex-mutual(i think???) here. Good to see you thriving! ♥ It's been a while since I've dipped my head into cockles stuff. Could I perchance maybe ask uuuuum tf is going on??? lol I see Mish apparently confirmed he used to stay over at Jensen's in Van, and heard newbs were apparently freaking out about it and getting a bit messy, which I get that, business as usual. But I'm also seeing shit about spin-offs? And Jared getting in a twitter fight with Jensen, causing/resulting in stans to going feral and sending hate?? I know you're not as big a fan of Jar, but that's part of why I figured I'd ask you, you usually have a really level head about this kinda stuff. If you don't wanna answer publically, or at all, that's totally chill!

Hey, Rhi! We're still mutuals! Of course we're still mutuals! When I saw the notification of your ask, I was like "Hey! I haven't seen you in a while!" and my husband was like "???" and I said "Tumblr" and he said "Oh."

It was a wild time haha.

In any case, welcome back to the dumpster fire! We are obviously still a mess. So to catch you up, I guess I will start by summarizing both before and after the finale (not sure where you left off so this might be redundant for you) ... basically, it became obvious as the end of the show neared that Jensen was not on board with the plan for the finale; although Jared never stopped singing its praises.

We got confirmation of this during a zoom interview where Jensen said that he actually went into the writers room as well as called Kripke to basically voice how he didn't agree with the direction the final season was going, but he was shot down on all fronts. In another interview, he was asked "What would you tell your younger self going into this career?" And Jensen responded with: "I would tell myself to just keep your head down and do the work" meaning, "Don't try to change things because you can't." I also think that this whole situation is what he wrote "Let Me Be" about for his first Radio Company album, but that is just my own speculation. All of his reluctance, even though he always followed it up with "But I eventually saw the value in the script" or "I came around in the end" (which never sounded sincere, and I don't think he was really trying to sound sincere) made us all very nervous about what was to come for 15x20; and of course, when the last two episodes aired, we saw just how badly they fucked it up.

After the awful finale, the entire fandom became aware of the CW's heavy handed role in the thing, basically squeezing all the life out of SPN to shape it into a ramp from which Walker could launch itself. They not only erased all the love and joy and representation that Cas's love confession gave us, they also tore apart the things that made sense about the bond between Sam and Dean, making it really just about Sam-- and therefore Jared, which of course, Jared seemed to be fine with ... even though no one else was. Misha barely said anything during the finale, and a few of the other actors talked about the show ending in various posts, but Jared tweeted up a storm ... and Jensen? Jensen just sat in sexy-silent resentment of the whole thing. He didn't tweet, he didn't post, he didn't say a word once he no longer had to, and I think that's because he was already going full-steam-ahead on his plans for redemption.

Which brings us to Chaos Machine-- Jensen and Danneel's new production company that is being run by a queer creative director and has a mantra of inclusivity and representation woven throughout it's fabric; and apparently, the first story that Jensen wanted to tell through this new platform is the origin story of Sam and Dean's parents; so last week (?) he announced the upcoming production of "The Winchesters" -- the untold love story of John and Mary. Obviously, John is not the most likable character from the show, so the idea was met with a lot of resentment when it was first announced, but Jensen has gone on to say that he is excited to take on the task of telling the "true" story behind these characters-- the one that makes sense with the pre-established canon and doesn't reject it. So, given that, the idea is being mulled over with a bit more optimism from the fandom.

Who isn't being optimistic though?

Jared Padalecki.

When Jensen made this announcement on Twitter, many of his friends and coworkers congratulated him, but not Jared. Jared responded with a passive aggressive: "I'm happy for you, man, but I wish I didn't hear about it through Twitter." This of course, sent all the die-hard Jared fans into a tizzy and they immediately began asking him if he was serious (hoping it was just a joke-- we all hoped it was because there would be fallout no matter what one's opinion on Jared is). Instead of leaving it there though or just deleting that tweet, Jared went on to tweet some more, saying that he was being serious that he didn't know about the plans for the prequel, and that he was "gutted" that Sam apparenlty wouldn't be included (mind you, this a prequel to SPN... meaning BEFORE Sam and Dean were even born, so how could Sam be included? But Dean is apparently narrating this story so maybe Jared thought Sam should be helping to narrate it? I don't know). But Jared being Jared couldn't just leave that there, he then went on to tweet at Robbie Thompson who was announced as a writer for "The Winchesters" so then Jared went off on him too, calling him "Brutus" and a "coward" acting like Robbie betrayed him (speculation is-- Robbie refused to write for Walker, so Jared is pissed that he essentially chose Jensen over him). He did fairly quickly, remove that tweet attacking Robbie, but of course the damage was done at that point. And it truly only took his first tweet calling out Jensen for some people to be like "Jared-- that sucks if you didn't know but why are you saying any of this publicly?"

As you might know, Jared has had issues in the past with posting hurtful things on social media, and has even used it as a tool for attack before-- calling out customer service agents and public workers that he felt have wronged him, which is bad enough ... but for him to then do the same thing to his best friend of well over a decade? Many people who had once liked him or at least gave him the benefit of the doubt (I used to ...) stopped after this latest twitter tantrum.

However, some people have suspected for some time that J2 had a falling out either shortly before the finale or just after. Their public/social media interactions have seemed awkward, stilted or even non-existent in moments that they normally wouldn't be. In the past year, when Walker premiered, Jensen didn't say much about his friend's new venture other than a "Congrats. buddy" here and there. Later, we learned that Jensen refused to work on the show ... Jared said he make him do it, drag Jensen to the set "kicking and screaming" which made many fans quirk up an eyebrow because, why would Jensen put up a fight unless the two weren't as close as they used to be? And then Jensen moved his family to Colorado (either permanently or for an extended period at least) which is notable considering how he moved to Texas seemingly to be closer to Jared, even buying a house that was near his. All this was just speculation though; but it wasn't until Jared's tweet complaining about not knowing about the prequel that the theories behind them falling out, became less theory and more fact.

The day after his twitter tantrum, Jared tweeted again-- not retracting his statements or apologizing, but instead saying that he and Jensen "talked" and were "all good". Jensen then tweeted too, parroting this statement to some degree, which only made the whole thing even more sour in the mouths of the fans. The fact that Jared didn't apologize for his outburst and throwing his friend under the bus, and also the fact that Jensen-- Mr. Sexy Silence, Mr. Never Tweets, Mr. Tech-Ignorant-and-Proud, actually had to POST SOMETHING saying that he and Jared made up, it just screamed OPTICS. It was obviously the work of agents and PR firms and lots of people going "Look, if you two keep beefing, that will mean the death of both of your projects. Even more people will stop watching Walker, and this SPN prequel will never get picked up due to the scandal." So, the two "made nice" publicly to quell the chaos, but in my opinion, it's all too little too late. Jared started a storm that he can't contain now with a little tweet, and it seems like he knows that too because before he talked about him and Jensen making up, he asked that people "not send threats". He could have just as easily said that he shouldn't have made this a public issue and that he's sorry, but instead, he continued to play the victim and stoke the flames by alerting us all to the damage he's done.

Now, like I said before-- I used to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't think he's an awful human or that he deserves to be attacked or anything, but he is an adult man with very poor judgment and an obvious selfish-streak a mile wide. He should know better, and he should have more respect for his so-called "friends" and "brothers" than to make them targets to public ridicule. I have a hard time believing that Jensen still sees Jared the way he used to, and I wouldn't blame him a bit for wanting to pull away-- especially when he's moving on to so many new and exciting things. Jared certainly deserves happiness just as much as anyone else, but he went on twitter and basically asked for a scandal, and he got one.

The question is now-- was there a motive behind it? Was just looking for a reason to bring his and Jensen's falling out to light-- while making himself looking like the victim in the process? Or did he genuinely not know about the prequel and just decided to go about "not knowing" in the most toxic and hurtful way he could manage?

In any case, that is the drama ... that is the J2 insanity in a rather lengthy nutshell ... that is the tea ... and I hope it all makes sense.

But the good news out of all of this is, Cockles is thriving-- they are happy and in love and Jensen calls Misha "Babe" and Misha misses waking up to see Jensen in the morning, and they are just as cute and wonderful as can be.

So, I will end that there. I am so glad to see you back, and I hope I answered all your questions in a way that made sense ... I tried anyway!

💖💖💖

#omg #I don't even know if this makes sense #this took way too long to write #j2 #cockles #long post #spn family #so glad you see you back again my dear #welcome to hell #it's hotter now

Watched the Eternals, now onto some thoughts.

MAJOR Spoilers on this whole thing. If you wanna watch it (without spoiling yourself), DO NOT READ ON.

Things I liked about the movie:

Makkari- loved her character; from the first time I saw her onscreen. Love that she’s disabled/ uses ASL and that the others try to accommodate her!

Also love the way she generally talks with her body’s fluidity and facial expressions. (She’s literally so funny and quirky, her humor is so dry and delivered on point.)

All in all, prbly one of my new favorite characters from MARVEL of all time

Also Drukkari (Druig x Makkari)

Love that they show diverse stances on humanity and how it should have evolved vs. how it has evolved and how much potential it still has (Druig abandoning the eternals as the easiest example that comes to mind)

very poetic death/ suicide on Ikaris‘ behalf; what with him choosing to die by flying into the sun- to honor Sprite‘s story of Icarus (who died, when he was escaping confinement, by using feathers that were glued together with wax and even though his father warned him not to fly too close to the sun- he did so anyways- thus the wax melting and him drowning)

Ajak‘s character- great acting choice, great portrayal- also well developed conscience

Now onto some things what I’m confused about/ didn’t really need/ didn’t like etc.

First things first:

why did the directors choose Ikaris and Dane Whitman to look alike so much?? (same style, hair cut, hair color, beard, etc.)

can attest to being confused about this until Dane and Ikaris showed up in the same frame?? (I literally thought Dane was Ikaris in the teaching scene)

also the whole thing with Ikaris being devoted to Arishem and Ajak- which yeah no makes sense

BUT THEN not talking about knowing what their mission is about/ leaving Sersi without giving her a reason?? + being torn in half by his love for her and his devotion to the mission

The THING THAT BUGS ME THE MOST OKAY: why tf can he leave Sersi for approximately 500 years without notice because he loves her too much and would tell her what’s supposed to happen, if he’d live with her and then he returns and we don’t see him struggling to talk to her/ being guilt ridden etc.??

YEAH MHM AND HERE COMES THE REAL DEAL BREAKER FOR ME (again major spoiler, but if you’ve made it this far, you prbly don’t care)- he doesn’t kill Sersi to carry out the mission?? Even tho he killed Ajak, basically Gilgamesh, tried to kill Druig and has Sprite on his side?? And he in his reasoning says: I don’t have a purpose (besides loving Sersi) and b* you wouldn’t have either way?? You literally would be unhappy either way. Either you kill Sersi and the mission is being carried out and then eternal sleep or next planet or whatever (and Arishem makes essentially a “new” Sersi for you) or you don’t get her or the mission done and then kill yourself anyway??

Well guess what? you could just choose to forfeit the mission and explain and then redeem yourself instead of being a goddamn drama queen, Sersi literally forgave you (I mean she’s pro humanity, yeah?) and was willing to do so- basically Ikaris died because of his own pride and there was quite no need for such dramatics??

The writers literally took the easy way out on this one lmao- MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE MARVEL UNIVERSE in the next paragraph (SKIP IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED)

Dane Whitman, who later on is going to become the black knight, will prove his worth in being Percival’s ancestor, lift the curse on the sword, essentially become immortal and thus is going to become the perfect “untainted” hero/ love interest for Sersi

Still I am alright (just peachy) with that- but what has that got to do with anything, you might ask?

Well: Sersi still looks like she wants to gallop into the sunset with Ikaris, even though she apparently has gotten over her feelings for him (which btw- in the last scene, she looks ready to jump him and leave Dane every sec she is on screen with Ikaris, even more so when Ikaris tells her that he’s still terribly in love with her)

No problem there- how could that have been solved- a little bit “easier” (without the whole ‘Emotional Damage’ thing) without straining too far from the original plot;

Work through the relationship issues, give them a consensual ‘yeah this doesn’t work, let’s divorce’

Character growth for him- the potential and conflict is there, just needs a little intelligence boost to connect the dots (and lay off of the drama)

Give him the relationship/ closure with Sprite ( I don’t care in what form but that would have gotten them both farther than what happened in the movie??)

Now onto Sprite: this is a mixed one, bear with me-

Positive things: love her unconventional look, also her mind of a teenager (great acting choices on that note- the displeasure and conflict in choosing sides, confusing feelings of love- YESSS GIVE ME MORE)

The fact that she’s always in Sersi’s shadow and the whole unrequited love thing with Ikaris gives an understanding edge to her character, which makes her driven and thus conflicted and opposing to Sersi’s kindness (very interesting take!)

Things that I didn’t really get at the end of the movie: why was she turned into a human?? She literally has no connection to being/ wanting to be a human, she wanted to kill them for God’s sake?? (except for the fact that she wants to be able to fall in love)

Uhhhh yeah great concept- how about showing her that she doesn’t need to change her appearance to be loved (I mean they tried in Kingo commenting exactly that but?? where did that train of thought go)

And the second thing about that concept, just let Sersi make her older/ change her appearance or whatever (she literally has some of the power enforced by the Uni- mind left and it is implied that she could do anything in that moment??)- furthermore, we saw that she had a preferred appearance in the beginning of the movie and relationships also work between eternals and humans (or different creatures, honey the world’s so big, especially you should know actually)

There definitely would have been a better way to solve that issue (also we were shown that she doesn’t enjoy life as a human teenager (who is stripped of her original powers)??)

You literally could have given her a redemption arc together with Ikaris, them falling for each other, learning from their mistakes, etc.?? Would have given the plot a little more bumps to cover on the road, aka more interesting side plot lines

Next thing on my wonderful train of thought: mahd wy’ry (the dementia like sickness)

the kinda cure to that sickness that literally was: remember me pls, touching hands like in Tarzan?? Like yeah hella sweet Gilgamesh but what the actual

I just waited for Thena to loose a grip on her sanity when they were fighting Ikaris in the final battle (like honey- who thought it would be a good idea for you to fight when you literally could turn on your comrades-in-arms at any second??)

(Edit: at one point, it’s going to be muckus because this isn’t only negative thoughts anymore but sprinkled with positive stuff as well)

Gilgamesh on the other hand- loved his character- would love him to be written that way again (all of it: his cooking, charm and empathy, would have loved to see more of Thena x Gilgamesh)

What was Karun’s purpose on the other hand?? Screen time? Comic relief? (didn’t need his character to be in the film at all) lovely actor tho, great character portrayal (just could have done without him)

Kingo and Phastos on the other hand didn’t get enough (good) screen time to my liking

Kingo- I just, I really don’t know lol, very undermining character, not the appearance and the way he was portrayed, just the way he was written, using bad overdone movie lines which showed no character depth? It’s a no from me- give him a little more character depth and remove Karun from always lurking around the corner and I’m in

On a good note! Loved Phastos! We have an openly gay (LGBTQ+) character, I could whoop with joy. Has a great partner and son. He himself is smart and tries to protect his family time and time again. Definitely would want to watch him written that way again- also he’s got that character depth that I was missing from Kingo (with his awareness of technological advances and Leonardo Davinci like thinking coupled with the knowledge that evolution can be dangerous)

On another note: what purpose served those deviants? We’ve got great analogies through the whole movie that they’ve become predators and thus must be eradicated. But you know what a predator essentially is? A hunter. And what are the eternals doing again. Right. Hunting the predators, which in turn makes them the predators. Nevermind the original question.

Their purpose was to move the plot along. What I didn’t really understand is- why didn’t the deviants pair up with the eternals, when it became clear that both of them were trying to survive Arishem/ the mission aka had the same goal?

There’s also never been a sequence that stated, that deviants had to prey on humans?? What were they lusting after? What were their goals? They literally just seemed to want to survive. That’s a big plot hole for a movie whose first halve essentially is eternals vs. deviants. Just give me something to work with here ://

I genuinely enjoyed Sersi as the “main”character. Her display of powers and love for humanity was great. The conflict she showed when faced with her two love interests opposed to that was lacking. I didn’t really get the feeling that she (as an actress) has decided on either Dane or Ikaris, even though her character apparently did- the portrayal just wasn’t clear enough on that front. I love how she gained more character depth as the plot progressed and was impressed and proud of her when she turned the celestial/ sucked the energy out of Tiamut.

Confused again you could say: how the hell is the celestial Tiamut supposedly waking up, if he uses humanity’s energy? All humans were shown to be alive and no worse off?

Druig! Also loved his character. My brain has left the chat at this point. Great powers, great conflict, interesting interactions with the different eternals, moved the plot along. Can’t be mad at his characterization or character portrayal. Well done!

This has become a monster length wise (to write this has taken longer than the actual movie). Whoops. Enjoy.

Maybe I’ll do a second part, which concentrates more on the plot, history and a little bit of accuracy (but who knows *sigh*).

An another note: Harry Styles? Really??

[bebx]

The way they were so vague abt Slyvie's background not mentioning Thor, Frigga or even Laufey ((bc we weren't supposed to notice the paper)) says so much that S*lki were meant to be the romantic couple -bc of homophobes- and maybe ep2 lokius flirting wasn't scripted and might've just been Wilson+Hiddles chemistry PLS SAY I'M WRONG T.T

(2/2) ... “P.S. i think Slyvie's background wasn't explored bc then it will be like explicitly saying Slyvie is also Loki -like, PPL WUD ACTUALLY KNOW- and I think they wanted to show them as seperate beings for romance purposes ... hope I'm not confusing”

^^^ I suppose you’re the same anon who sent me this second ask as well? My apologies if I’m wrong. Anyway I’m gonna put these two asks together.

So my answer and my thoughts on the subject: I think there was a severe lack of communication going on in the Loki production as a whole. The director once said Loki and Sylvie’s relationship wasn’t necessary romantic, and the writer said it was a ‘love story’ while the composer who wrote the show’s soundtracks said Loki looked at Sylvie the way he looked at his mother (????)

The entire team, even the characters in the show, kept switching back and forth between saying she’s a Loki and saying she’s not a Loki (????) so it appeared Sylvie is a Loki while it’s convenient for the scene, and is not when it’s not convenient (???) I don’t even know if it makes sense but…. Yeah.

I think the fact they showed Sylvie’s childhood, when she was taken from Asgard, was also enough let the audience know she’s Loki? How Sylvie told Loki they were ‘the same’ and how He Who Remains called them ‘Loki and Loki’

Also how Marvel promoted these ‘self-love’ (?????)

My opinion, I don’t think they were being subtle at all about her being Loki.

People know they’re the same person, and Marvel had no problem letting the audience know, either.

That being said, I don’t ship them. Like. At. All. And it’s not because I ship Lokius but because

1. Sylvie is such a strong, independent character. Making her Loki’s ‘love interest’ kind of took away all of that and it kind of make the majority of the audience see her as just ‘another version of Loki that Loki fell in love with’ I think she deserved better.

2. Falling romantically in love with yourself is not — and will never be — self-love. I don’t want to sound rude, but sometimes I doubt the people behind Loki even know what the meanings of self-love and self-acceptance are, but they definitely aren’t kissing yourself.

3. They said ‘falling for himself is in character for Loki’ I disagree. Loki hates himself. He has so many issues that I believe the person who hates Loki the most, is Loki.

You wanna know which character would fall for themselves without it being out of character at all? DCEU Joker. I know they’re under different studios, but since I’m a fan of both the Joker and Loki, I’d say if I were to see a character make out with themselves, I’d expect that to be the Clown Prince of Crime since he’s already so self-obsessed. But Loki? Nah

4. The way Marvel represented Loki and Sylvie’s relationship are, in my opinion, inaccurate and harmful to genderfluid people. Because one of the stereotypical misconceptions about genderfluid people is that they ‘can only date themselves because they’re freaks’ which is inaccurate and harmful.

I also strongly disagree with Loki’s ‘have you met the female variant of us’ line. Like… tf are you talking about ‘female version’ ????? you’re genderfluid, Sylvie is genderfluid.

5. I strongly believe keeping Loki and Sylvie’s relationship platonic (instead of cliche love story but made it weirder because they’re the same person) would’ve been more meaningful and powerful

However, with the strong backlash they’re getting, about the Loki and Sylvie’s relationship, from the majority of the audience, I don’t think Marvel will still continue with this route in their future projects anymore.

Anyway….. talking about Loki and Mobius’s relationship, be it platonic or romantic, it’s the only thing I truly enjoyed about the show.

Tom recently said in an interview that about 95% of his ideas weren’t in the series at all, and only about 5% made it to the show. I don’t know if those ideas of his that we ended up seeing are the Loki and Mobius’s interactions, but nonetheless, it’s a shame how they barely listened to him at all. I mean he IS Loki. He’s played him for more than a decade. He knows him better than the rest.

I hope they listen — actually listen — to him in the second season. And I hope they fix these whole mess, too.

MORTAL KOMBAT (2021)

(DISCLAIMER: MY OPINION IS MY OWN AND CAN BE DEEMED INVALID TO THOSE WHO DON’T CARE FOR IT.)

I don’t even what to say in this introduction... I mean... *sigh* don’t get me started on Sanada Hiroyuki (what an icon)! And freakin’ Lewis Tan and Ludi Lin! Those two have come a long way and so cool to see them show up and show out in this movie, but let’s not forget the others! You know what... let me hold my tongue because I can’t make this introduction to long KMSL. “LET’S GOOOOO!” - BUSTA RHYMES

“Earthrealm is on the verge of catastrophe should it lose one more tournament, the savage realm of Outworld will invade but an ancient prophecy fortells that a new group of champions will be united by the rise of Hanzo Hasashi’s blood.” 

Listen, I’m here for the violence... I don’t give two fucks about a romantic storyline, and I put that on me constantly playin’ this game as a child.

Man, look at Hiroyuki in all his greatness!

FATALITY BITCH!!

“Take care of my bloodline.” - HANZO

Oh, damn not CAGE lol

____________

What a whirlwind! I’m still stuck Sanada Hiroyuki! I wish that film was of origin story for some characters that could’ve continued onto the next movie within the franchise, but I understand what’s trying to be executed by the director, scriptwriters, film company, crew, and actors. I’m going to leave it at for right now... I’m gonna sleep on this one, literally lol. When I come back, I’ll write a better closing statement. Until then, continue to remember that everyone’s a critic when their opinion matters the least. 

Edit 4/26/21:

I’m still trying to find the right words to sum this up. I don’t think I have anything bad to say... 6.5/10... that’s all I’m gonna say for now 😂

-TFA theme at the beginning 🥰 (that theme is so fuckin good)

-Sam’s lil jogging route around the Tidal Basin/Mall

-Steve being sassy , just as a general

-Steve’s sadness errands

-Sam relating to Steve on the soldier front and making him feel seen

-Just. Sam Wilson

-The way that Steve’s to-do list in the movie varies from country to country (For instance, the UK list has Sherlock instead of I Love Lucy and The Beatles)

-Also I wanna know Steve’s thai order

-The fact that this whole exchange is happening at 6:39 am

-Natasha drives with all the recklessness of a 16 year old that just got their license

-Stealth Suit Stealth Suit

-Steve deflecting Nat’s date suggestions

-Steve’s aversion for parachutes...reckless endangerment ✨

-Steve speaking/understanding at least a little french

-Tony having designed the Helicarriers to have arc reactor power instead of turbines because “he got a close up look at the turbines” in The Avengers 2012 when he got caught in them

-“This isnt freedom, this is fear” aka the embodiment of Steve’s character

-Steve’s exhibit being in the Air and Space museum even tho he flew a plane once and crashed it

-Bucky’s display having two different birth years (1916 and 1917. the correct one is 1917)

-In the little video of Steve and Bucky, Sebastian Stan was saying “We *are* friends” after the director told them to “act like friends” for that shot

-Steve acknowledging Peggy’s family and therefore acknowledging that their relationship with each other, while still close and special, is not romantic anymore and Peggy telling Steve to move on and start over wtf endgame

-The parallel of Peggy losing her memory as Bucky regains his

-Sam Wilson willing to show vulnerability and not being ashamed of his PTSD and treating Steve like any other attendee and hoping Steve will open up too if he sees that it’s okay to

-Steve’s face after “it was like I was up there just to watch” cuz he gets it and both sam and him had to watch their other half fall

-“What makes you happy?” “I don’t know”

-The Winter Soldier theme is just Bucky’s scream pitched different and made to sound mechanical because Henry Jackman wanted it to sound like a man trapped in a machine

-Why is Steve a lucky bastard that has his own laundry machine

-Steve leaving his apartment building after Sharon points out the music and then SCALING THE SIDE OF HIS OWN BUILDING AND CLIMBING IN THROUGH HIS WINDOW LIKE CAN YOU IMAGINE SEEING CAPTAIN AMERICA JUST CLIMBING INTO HIS APARTMENT THROUGH HIS WINDOW ONE NIGHT

-STEVE’s APARTMENT I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS (i might make a separate post on that)

-The fact that “A Long, Long Time” is playing when he sees Bucky for the first time in the future and the song is about lovers reuniting after the war i’m not saying it’s gay but i am

-He calls Fury “Nick” which really indicates theyre not close in the slightest

-Steve is excellent in adapting under pressure (him immediately catching on and using Fury’s code story: “who else knows about your wife?”)

-Steve is Awful at lying but hes also Excellent at lying

-How tf did Steve get the flash drive in the vending machine without the vending machine dude noticing i-

-“Captain Rogers” “Neighbor >:(“ petty little shit

-Steve’s observation skills are A+++++ as we can see in the elevator scene

-More reckless endangerment like imagine just going through your work day and captain america falls through the ceiling

-Steve stole someones gym clothes after escaping SHIELD. let that sink in

-Natasha has about a billion masks on at all times (“I only act like i know everything, rogers” “the person that programmed this was slightly smarter than me. slightly” “the truth isn’t all things to all people all of the time”) also she’s quite insecure, especially when it comes to being perceived as a good, trustable person

-Meanwhile, Steve’s consistently himself even if it costs him

-Bucky trained Natasha in the Red Room (at least in the comics) so theres a good chance she made the connection between him and Steve and withheld that information

-The honeymoon in New Jersey😭😭

-Steve and Nat both have very different, but entirely valid approaches to situations: Steve’s is that of a tactiction, Nat’s is that of a spy’s. We see this in the scene at Pentagon City Mall

-Steve’s looking for someone with shared life experience and bucky has that

-Bucky killed JFK

-When Zola tells him that his death and life both amount to that of a zero sum, he punches the screen with his bare fist, not his shield, indicating just how much that upset him

-Pierce offers Bucky milk cuz he knows “the asset” can’t refuse or accept offers. He’s taunting him

-Sam drinks orange juice straight from the bottle and also doesnt refrigerate his mustard. There’s also a baseball trophy in his apartment so,,,,, baseball player sam anyone?

-Sam is also a gem who immediately helps out Steve and Nat with no judgement in his tone so they don’t feel ashamed

-Nat straightened her hair somewhere in Sam’s house

-“Cuz thats really not your style, Rogers” “you’re right, it’s not” *rubs sitwell’s arm* “it’s hers”

-Steve and Nat banter Steve and Nat banter

-Sam is just *clenches fist* so cool

-Nat immediately knows where Bucky’s gonna shoot when he lands on the Sam’s car and later she knows how to affectively fight him best because he trained her so she knows his fighting style

-Steve alone saying “Bucky?” was enough to break Bucky’s conditioning the slightest bit

-Sam met Steve like 36 hours ago and he’s already being arrested and made into a government fugitive with him and it won’t be the last time

-Steve is the only one entirely restrained

-“Even when I had nothing I had Bucky”

-Everyone meets Sam and is just like “aight let’s trust him with the highest clearance security information”

-Steve looks super nauseous all through the scene where Rumlow is handcuffing him and later when he says, “he looked right at me, like he didn’t even know me” he sounds sick and choked up

-Steve carries a lot of weight on his shoulders

-Steve’s “Bucky?” after the highway battle and Steve’s “Bucky?” in Bucky’s memory in the Vault Scene being different (in Bucky’s memory, he looks more heartbroken)

-Sebastian’s acting. Just all of it. And the way Bucky just opens his mouth for the mouth guard before he gets wiped....heartbreaking

-Steve realizes an organization that was meant to protect the people has become its own antithesis so hes like “aight. get rid of it” damn that’s the right mindset right there

-In the memory scene after Sarah’s funeral, Steve is so out of it and distressed, that he can’t find his key but Bucky immediately knows exactly where it is and what he’s lookin for

-Bucky was vain as shit and also had money: tailored suit, hair w shit ton of brylcreem in it

-The big breakfast Steve had was at Sam’s house

-The whole scene on the helicarrier between Steve and Bucky is incredible here are some highlights: Steve never backing down from a fight until it’s Bucky he’s fighting, Steve dropping the shield for him, Steve being ready to die if living means he’s living in a world where Bucky’s alive and doesnt remember him

-Their acting in that scene is so genuine and heartbreaking i can’t- i can’t-

-Steve’s got a comm i’m so chances are Nat, Sam and Maria can hear a portion of what’s going down on the helicarriers

-“I’m with ya to the end of the line” is basically “til death do us part” so the equivalent of wedding vows between Bucky and Steve is what ultimately broke Bucky’s conditioning

-When bucky fell, steve didn’t jump after him but when Steve fell, bucky went after him even tho he’s brainwashed. don’t think about steve’s guilt surrounding that. youll only get sad

-Bucky waited until Steve took a breath to leave him

-Sam waited by Steve’s side in the hospital

-In the end credit scene, Bucky and Steve originally were supposed to make eye contact, but the writers didn’t want it established that Bucky remembered Steve until CW

----

Every time I watch it from here on out, I’m gonna add a lil more as I notice hehehe

mankai company playing hot potato with shared the brain cell

i've had writing burn out for a few days now, but i saw this ask and this was born bc i wanna write, but my brain can only go this much atm~

yes, this is a joke ✌️ a joke written by someone who also has one (1) [I] {isang} braincell.

Sakuya: tends to not get the braincell, but sometimes the members lend it to him because he's a precious 🤗 boyo who needs to be a little less gullible (looking at you, citron 👀)

Masumi: will give away the braincell to izumi 🤲🧠 might not be so bad, maybe Izumi will cook something not curry? (or she could just even bigger brained and discover a new curry recipe…)

Tsuzuru: actually gets a lot of turns with the braincell? mostly when people are asleep 😴 because he doesn’t have to fight people for it… also because he stays up 👁️👁️ bc late writing ✍️. masumi forcefully takes away the brain cell when he passes out so they can continue playing hot potato

Itaru: as if he has the stamina to play hot potato lol. probably has a braincell membership plan 🧾 specifically for work, auto deactivates when he’s gaming 🎮 F in the chat

Citron: whenever it’s his turn to get the grain sell, immediately tries to spike it ala Haikyuu style 🏐 will probably injure someone on accident (Tasuku flashbacks to beach event)

Chikage: already has his own braincells, but will still try to take Mankai’s shared braincell anyway 😌✌️

Tenma: can he just buy a braincell? 💸💳 (wait he might lose it, nvm) active participant in the hot potato. please give him the braincell. one of the few times yuki will outright cheer for tenma- it’ll benefit yuki too, after all!

Yuki: with all those witty nicknames and comments, he obviously has his own braincells… but the summer troupe makes his own braincells deteriorate 🤯. he needs a spare.

Muku: people give him the braincell willingly part 2. what does he use the braincell for? idk probably some big brain shoujo manga thing lol. maybe he writes fanfics 📝💻🖱️ using a secret moniker who knows pfft.

Misumi: “the braincell is a sankaku 🔺!” is it? there’s a chance. misumi’s triangle standards are a bit skewed, it could be a sankaku to him! might trade the braincell for a super special triangle 📐

Kazunari: oh please, kazunari has the braincells already? sometimes it’s just more fun not to use it!!! 🥳🤩 (same, kazunari) idk y’all sometimes it takes being big brain to think up dumb tiktok shit

Kumon: another one who actually needs the braincell. what a pure boy. a bit of a dummy, but very pure. may or may not offer it to juza instead ⚾🤲🍧

Banri: see, he has braincells… but hE JUST DOESN’T ALWAYS USE THEM 🤦‍♀️! banri please, stop fighting over the braincell with juza and just use the ones you already have? you know he’s using the braincell the days he doesn’t wear obnoxious animal print 🐆 over plaid. (i love you king, but why)

Juza: head empty, sweets only. also, in fact, needs the brain cell. also also, in fact, will fight banri for it. will trade the braincell for sweets tho 🍧🍨🍦🥧🧁🍰🎂🍮🍭🍬🍫🍩🍪 (i would too, juza…)

Taichi: will a braincell make taichi more popular? idk, but maybe the braincell will let him know that his puppy charm 🐶✨ would be good to utilize more lol

(actually, everyone in Ouka High needs the braincell. maybe just give it to one of them on tuesdays so they can exchange it throughout the day?)

Omi: does a braincell help you become less dense? omi’s nice enough to just let people have it tbh 😌👊 lmao can see his mom tendencies 📈 for some reason… does it take braincells to be a mom friend?

Sakyo: also already has braincells except when it comes to the director. where tf did they go, sakyo? hmmmmm? will try to monetize 💰 the shared braincell somehow, maybe even have a planned schedule 🗓️ for it with optimal borrow times.

Azami: he will finally realize that k*ss*ng 💋 before marr*age 💍, in fact, will not 🙅‍♀️ kill you… is this a good idea? do… do we give him the braincell? this knowledge might be too much for the poor boy…

Tsumugi: to everyone’s shock, he’s able to send a normal text. with emojis 😳🤭. and figures out how to use the front camera instead of turning the phone 📱 around to take a selfie 📸. magically forgets when he doesn’t have the braincell anymore.

Tasuku: please, give him a braincell. he has the stamina to fight for it anyway! his brain is like 80% acting and theatre 🎭, and the other 20% is sports and exercise ⚽🎾🏓. please. this man who will do anything if he can “use it for future acting reference”.

Hisoka: his brain is 99% filled with marshmallows... does he have space for a braincell? does he even care about the braincell? when it’s his turn, maybe he’ll eat 🍽️ properly w/o ushering needed for once.

Homare: uHHH THIS POEM 📜 KING 👑 ALREADY HAS A BUNCH OF BRAINCELLS???? SUPER 🧠 BIG 🧠 BRAIN 🧠???? HOW DARE- (he needs it too. please. his head ain’t empty, but dammit listening to his poems makes your head empty as consequence)

Azuma: also already has braincells. all his… suggestions 🥴😈? you need braincells for that! another one w/ the power to make you lose the braincells instead 🤤🤡. get ready to join the fight for mankai’s shared braincell!

Guy: technically has the braincells, but like sakuya, kind of gullible. and also has a hard time hearing things 👂🙅‍♀️. help. give him braincell... i don't think braincells fix that hold on-

wtf did i write? ah well, guess i'll post it 😌✌️

[deathwithacutename]

* I just wanna preface this entertaining story by saying that yes this is a true story, some major facts and details were changed and the story is kept vague on purpose.

If you're easily triggered by me saying black lives matter and you feel some type of way, well, that's life snowflake and just like facts idc about your feeling #sorrynotsorry #blm

I just went thru hell today ....for $185...from a job that fired me a week ago...

I can't make this shit up. I from a small town in the south and I recently had a falling out with my dad. Prompting me to move across the country with my bf. I've never lefty small town in my life but did on that day (real long story I'll post it some other time rn I feel tired) so long story short I needed a job. I cannot stress enough how shitty this place was....

First of all, these kids had no discipline, no structure, and no respect. (Not to sound like Rodney Dangerfield over here, but I gets no respect, lemme tell ya)

Every day, was like:

Me:Hey (kids name) why are you throwing paper?

Kid: idk

Me: well could u do me a favor (yes I would ask them to do me a favor as a means of trying to communicate with them with some oz of respect) could you not throw paper, please.

Kid: (looks me dead in my face and smirks while grabbing a piece of paper and throws it without breaking eye contact)

Me: *sigh, didn't I just tell you not to throw paper?

Kid: (WITH A STRAIGHT FACE) I didn't know you were talking to me.

Me: 😳 ???

You looked at me, DEAD IN THE FACE when I SPECIFICALLY SAID YOUR NAME, SMILED AND DID THE VERY FUCKING THING I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING DO!!!! WHILE LOOKING AT ME THE WHOLE GODDAMN TIME!!!

😡😡🤬🤬.....

😤😪 let it go d.w.a.c.n....theyre, kids, you can't hurt them....it's just a job...

**RAGE RAGE, FUCKING RAGE the ppl in my head are screaming this at this point**

Mind you, I'm in a whole new state with very little to my name, in a town full of Trumpettes, in an interracial relationship with beliefs that black lives matter, fuck da police, and smoke weed everyday etched in my soul with only my spouse to have my back, (and I aint a punk and I can hold my own in a fight, but the way the wild life situation is...it would be too late for rescue should my anger get the better of me and my family can help, so we not gonna test these gator infested waters round here) but I don't have my birth certificate, so I can't get my license so until I get straight and on my own, I gotta play it safe. So kids will be kids...more or less 🙄

So Friday is field trip day for these...childrennn and while the first one went alright, the second Friday I'm there was a complete disaster. Also on that second Friday I'm there I had to work 2 extra hours

Enter Monday, I come in for 8 hours and leave. At this point I'm already looking for another job, so any excuse to leave would have been fine, I just wanted to have another job lined up...but luck was never on my side and sure enough that Monday night the director TEXTS me to tell me she's letting me go blah blah, mind u this wasn't a permanent job l, I was really there to fill in some gaps for the summer, but nevertheless it's a shock. But, cool, whatever, she tells me she can email me the check or I can pick it up, I say email is fine and that's it. Next Friday I get it emailed, I can print it, cash it, get on with my life. Simple right?

No....no no...absolutely tf not, nothing can ever be simple.

So, Friday comes and I call to make sure I am still gonna receive it, do they have correct emails address blah blah and the director then says,

"you can come pick up your check, d.w.a.c.n if you want".

Hmm...hubby just got paid, and I gotta run errands anyway, why tf not? It's right down the road I'll go get that check, get his, cash them and be on my merry way, right

Why tf did I say yes? Cos the minute I did, shenanigans of a malicious nature began. So I run up to this miniature hell...I mean...daycare and here's what happens

8 am: inquire about check, confirming I'll pick it up

Me: I can come through and pick it up

Director (D): ok, give me a few minutes to get there

9 a.m. I text to see if she's at the office, no answer...

10 a.m. I drive there to see if she's there; no show

10:30 a.m. me and hubby still waiting on this woman to arrive

It was then I decided to go get hubby's check, cash it and put it on his card, grab a quick breakfast and get back before she leaves and if she does dip, well, she can surely just cash it and leave it for me right?

Word of advise kids, never EVER leave fate up to chance, especially when you're born with hellaciously bad luck as I have been gifted. Don't. Do. It.

11 a.m sure enough she dipped. Can anyone guess what she didn't do?

For those who said she didn't print the check, you are correct, here's a cookie.

But, death, u may ask, how hard is it to print a check, surely not that hard right?

Rule number 2, and I cannot stress this enough. NEVER, EVER IN YO LIFE UNDERESTIMATE THE STUPIDITY OR INCOMPETENCE OF OTHERS. Don't do it, they'll surprise you every goddamn time cos I swear, trying to get these ppl to print this check convinced me that it would be easier to train a cat to grow opposable thumbs and open the tightest jars of pickles at will. Kid u not, can not make this shit up.

Fast forward and it's now 3 p.m.

No check, once again. So I call instead of going up there, mostly cos I don't want to get my ass kicked from cops bc I go up there and show the repressed nigga inside ready to pop out and fuck some shit up. I've never been to jail, but it would be my luck to get shot instead, especially now (and we not gonna make this shit political, ok? Any blue lives matter or all lives matter motherfucker who wanna come here and start shit will do well to remember that this ain't about u, this is just me venting, I ALSO have free speech and if you want to start some shit with me, I'm just gonna tell you to kiss the deepest, blackest part of my ass after I take a shit, and that's as far as I'm gonna engage with u ok? Ok)

So, long story (condensed) I finally get my check after my ghetto side leaks thru the phone. How much for my struggle?

Well if you were paying attention, you would know: $185.00

That's it. I went all day and had to eat d8 to not feel like crashing my car into this daycare center (kids were on a field trip, don't worry they weren't gonna be in harm's way, I hate kids but I am not THAT crazy) for a whopping 185.

I hate this world.

Season 1: Rogercop

Tom is the best father

Ninette!

Oohhh Adrien, I just want to give you a hug

And the bars of the windows purposefully shadow over him....to show his loneliness....

Not even a minute into the episode and my heart is already shattered

Nino and Marinette look so worried for him

Why did only four students' parents show up?? Where's Mylene's dad as an actor? Where's Alix's dad as the director of a museum?? Where's Juleka's mom as- wait, what's her profession again?

For once Chloe listens to her dad

Sabrina looks so happy to receive the croissant wow

"Well if you're so rich, obviously you don't need free croissants!" SHOTS FIRED

How did no one see Plagg??

Plagg why would Chloe have camem- never mind it's Plagg

Plagg's attraction to shiny things explains a lot....

Plagg tf

A huge development on Marinette's part: In Origins she tumbled over, but no one laughed at her, and she was apologizing for no reason. Now she trips, but everyone laughs WITH her, and she doesn't think much of it. Marinette no longer views her clumsiness as a weakness or flaw.

I like that Roger is still trying to keep the situation under control instead of bowing to Chloe's whims like most people (looking at you, Bustier and Damocles)

Andre you big fat jerk

As mayor, yes you are superior but you technically have no power over Roger's job

That's abuse of power.

He can't fire him

Sabrina is so chill about her father losing his job????

*skips Hawkmoth monologue*

*record screech*

WAIT BACK THE FUCK UP

THIS BITCH PURPOSEFULLY MISSED OUT ON SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO HIS SON SO HE COULD MESS AROUND WITH HIS BUGS?!

WHY AM I EVEN SURPRISED

"Parent child relationships can be so complicated" not like you are an expert at it, are you SHITBRIEL?!

Roger is still worried about breaking the law over his job. Wow.

Tom is still the best father

"If I were her bracelet I'd try and get away as far as possible from that crazy brat too!" SHOTS FIRED

Sorry but Sabrina's growl-wiggle was hilarious

How on earth did Nathaniel manage to sketch the bracelet on Chloe's table in the FRONT ROW?!

I have my.... opinions on Mendelieev but her just walking past an Akuma without any fear is something else lol

Analysed by professionals? It's a video not a thumbprint

Couldn't Plagg just phase out of the bracelet??

Adrien is so done

"Rock Hard abs" KSKSKAKAKSJ PLAGG

Adrien's the king of expressions

*skips Hawkbitch monologue*

"Let the adults handle this?" Marinette did more than the three authorities in the room

Okay....maaaayyybeee Marinette is being a little biased towards Adrien

"I don't know!" The way Chloe said that was hilarious

Why did Adrien think that would work

"You're always thinking with your stomach"

WhY does he have a pepper shaker just lying around??

Son...I love you but...I have questions

Atleast it worked

Adrien you smart cookie

You're literally a millionaire get another bracelet

Those were some moves, Bug girl is killing it

Kskdkkelwk it cracks me up so much that Chloe just marched up to an Akuma for help so unironically

I never saw that Chat just landed on his wrist to deflect it

LMFAO HE LANDED ON THE TRASH CAN

"Don't listen to that liar" - Hawkmoth. Someone get me that duct tape

Oh wow she just flew

Oh my god Chloe

"I bet you missed me!" And they say Chat Noir is the flirt

Oooh that was a close save by Ladybug

The more I watch these the more their teamwork astounds me

"Thanks for the lasso, lassie!"

Chloe you SAW him put it on autopilot

Chat Noir has all these amazing moves with his staff and the way he chooses to hit Rogercop is by going "BANG BANG BANG" on him

He just stopped fighting there for a minute, like he had given up

Kitty is angery

Look at that dexterity!! He stopped the car with one hand!

"Nice day for a swim!" Babie you are falling to your death

Thank you Ladybug for saving Almost-Pancake Noir

Also she caught herself all on her own!! Queen!

SHE JUST DROPS HIM

Cats always land on their feet but Chat Noir always lands on his backside

That lil moment of Ladynoir banter!!

Was Chloe just inside that car all along? I forgot about her

*looks at that car shaped cutout on the door* Now THAT is precision

Oh he captured Chloe while we all forgot about her!!

"So much for your powers. Ha ha ha ha ha"

I don't see any of his handcuffs on the- OH COME ON are they really going to follow the Akuma and not the superheroes trying to save them??

So it's nighttime....which means Ladynoir spent an entire day in each other's company while hiding from everyone......YOUNG FORBIDDEN SECRET LOVE

LOOK AT EM JUST SITTING THERE NEXT TO EACH OTHER WHILE BEING UNDER MORTAL PERIL I AM WEAK

"We should go defend ourselves in a court of law!" I love how seriously he says that while having a bounty on his head

LOOK AT THAT POLE DANCING

AND TAP DANCING

"Something about Paris just makes you wanna dance!"

"GO Ladybug GO!" Great GOing Chloe

"You've got justice and revenge all mixed up!" Think Ladybug just roasted, no incinerated Saltinette

"Fabulous, so wretchedly Fabulous!" Can someone tell Gabe he isn't Sharpay Evans?

Kitty defeated an entire army all on his own

Ladybug and Chat definitely enjoyed throwing Chloe and her father

"Stop shooting like an idiot, Rogercop!" Says the biggest idiot himself

She took that belt only because she hasn't discovered her Chat tail kink yet

Proof that Chat's suit has pockets

Lol love how slyly he absolved himself of his crime

"That's Chloe's bracelet" How did he hear her SAY that and not recognise who she was??

So the cat Miraculous holder can control the extent of his Cataclysm!

Chat got handcuffed.

That entire sequence of Ladybug oven mitting Rogercop with a belt was too awesome

I replayed it only about 3000 times

The way Roger says "NOOO" though lol

"As Rogercop would say, Justice has prevailed in the streets of Paris!" NDKDKWOK I CAN'T HE'S SUCH A DORK

AND LADYBUG'S SWEET SMILE AT HIM, SAME GIRL, SAME

"I'd stick around but you'd see me without my mask and you wouldn't be able to resist me"

Neither him nor Ladybug know how right he is

*skips Hawkmoth monologue*

How hadn't Ladybug timed out yet? Chat used his Cataclysm several minutes after her

Ladybug's giggle is so cute

Lieutenant Roger's happiness is infectious

"A valuable lesson, learned. Right Chloe?" Oh you just threatened another parent, a teacher, a principal and an entire school and NOW you choose to parent your daughter

[panlyv]

ok so… i wanna talk about the “sarawatine didn’t kiss and that’s bullshit” discourse that has been going around in light of the finale.

first, people who say they wished they had kissed are only valid if they aren’t disgusting fujoshis who want a kiss just for the sake of wanting it, without understanding the context and motivations behind such action. so if you are a fujoshi, get tf out of this post.

i think the major reason why so many people are upset we didn’t get a kiss is because of cultural differences. and i speak about this matter from my own point of view, since im literally from the other side of the globe.

as a south american, more specifically as a brazilian who was born and raised here, i can say that our way of showing affection is drastically different from how ive seen most asian couples show affection to each other. (disclaimer to say im in no way an expert on this matter and what i say is based on hearing about asian friends’ experiences and documentaries lmao so don’t come for my head and if i say something wrong please point it out!)

here in brazil, you will see people kissing, hugging, holding hands, and whatever other form of physical affection there is everywhere you go, whether it be a straight or queer couple. it’s just natural for us. we greet each other with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t matter if you know the person you just greeted or not. we even have a whole holiday that’s basically for partying, dancing and kissing (carnaval!). brazilians already flood each other with physical affection without being in a romantic relationship, so of course for me it’s weird when i watch a couple just establishing their relationship and a kiss doesn’t follow their confessions.

a standard brazilian love confession would consist of two people declaring their love for each other, happily smiling, and then they would kiss because they love each other and they are happy to be together, and a kiss is how we were taught to express such feelings. but that doesn’t apply only for brazil, or for south america, it’s a reality in a lot of cultures in many countries around the world. but i also know that’s not universal and it doesn’t apply to everyone.

i get it, that’s not how asians were raised and perhaps for them my culture can be an absurd, but i won’t lie and say a part of me doesn’t expect a kiss every now and then in asian shows, especially after asking each other to be boyfriends or laying down in the grass under a starry night, because that would be extremely realistic and natural in the cultural context im in.

i know it’s not fair to expect elements from my own culture to feature in shows and series from a country so far away from mine, but i do get where some people might be coming from when they demand a kiss like in sarawatine’s case. because for them that would be the utmost romantic gesture, that would show us, the audience, the characters really do love and care for each other.

sarawat and tine have other ways of showing their love for each other, and they are all just as beautiful and valid as a kiss, but i feel like, after everything they went through, especially in episode 12, after solving their problems and agreeing to go back to dating, the fact that they just high fived each other was so… out of place? you would high five your friend after winning a match, or high five a kid after they finished playing around, but would you simply high five your “ex” boyfriend who just wrote a whole song for and about you when you realised everything that happened was a misunderstanding and you are willing to give it another go????? im not saying they should’ve kissed right there in front of the crowd (because that would be out of character for them, esp tine) but… they should’ve at least kissed at some point (and i would die and kill for tine to initiate a kiss tbh), once they didn’t kiss ever since they started dating and moved in together. for me, it would have made sense and would fit the story and the characters, and also make it feel even more realistic. but it didn’t happen, and that’s ok.

people have the right to be frustrated about the lack of kisses in 2gether, but those same people (including myself) have to understand they are choosing to consume a piece of midia that depicts a culture that diverges so much from their own, and that culture has its own social behaviors, manners and values. if you are bothered with the lack of good kisses in bls in general, then i guess thai bl is just not the right genre for you, especially gmm shows (we all know gmm’s poor history of kissing, both straight and queer). and this isn’t much about the thai industry, but we can’t forget how queer affection on television can be censored over the tiniest of things on asian midia which ://

so please don’t go around spreading hate to the crew and director or even to the actors themselves because you feel robbed of a kiss (esp because you can tell it was a scene from the very beginning of the filmings when bright and win were still building the beautiful friendship they have today so perhaps that’s why it felt so awkward dbhdjsj). let’s not forget that 2gether is a show way beyond a simple kiss. it’s a show about love in its purest form, and all the hardships that come with it. it’s a show about self discovery and finding your own worth. it’s a show about growth in so so so many ways. do not let a tiny thing cloud your judgment to the amazing show 2gether was and to the incredible work everybody involved did, and the efforts bright and win did to portray such beautiful and raw characters to the best of their abilities.

i guess i just used this as an excuse to vent and try to deal with the fact that, sadly, 2gether has come to an end. i’ll miss this show so so much because i hold it very close to my heart and it has a really special place in my life rn. but yeah, it did end, liking it or not, and im just so thankful for bright, win and the crew of 2gether for these fantastic 13 weeks we had together and for all they’d done for us. but hopefully season two, or an ourskyy ep, or a special ep for the new book volumes await us………….. who knows

#dawn.txt #just a big rant about something that has been on my mind for a while now #the cultural divergences from my culture to asian culture are just SO BIG #like if 2gether was a br show EVERYTHING would be SO different its crazy to think about it #and im so sad:( just want 2gether back already:( #next friday is gonna be a blow on my head bc I Am In Denial. #2gether #2gether the series #sarawat x tine #dawn watches 2gether #last time ill use this tag:(

Band Camp Day 3

how tf do I have to take 20 shots of water when my band director wasn’t even there until the last two and a half hours

August 14th, 2020

<< 3 >>

Honestly it doesn’t even feel like I’ve done 3 days of this:

but don’t ask me what it actually feels like because idk that either

so we start the day with the longest heckin band block e v e r

and like it’s not, it was just half an hour, but my arms hurt afterward

if you don’t know what that means, it just means we were at attention for thirty minutes straight marching, listening to whatever the drum majors told us to do

"My arms hurt!” “That’s the point, Kyle!”

So then we got a quick break, then split into marching sectionals

I wasn’t doing very hot during sectionals, like, I kept messing things up, I was really tired, etc

and then we were like “well, we did everything, now what?”

We saw one of the sections attempting a snake, and we were like “well. We could try.”

a snake is when we form one line and follow whatever the leader does. It’s very independent and takes some concentration

my section leader wanted to be the front, and of course I was put second, so it’s Extra Concentration

the thing is, we aren’t exactly allowed to do the snake because we need to be social distancing. Everything is four step spacing, and traditionally, the snake is two step spacing

so we did four step spacing, which made it even harder at first because I wasn’t used to it

we demonstrated for the freshmen, and I messed up but hey

so then we did it For Real

so we were doing the snake, and it was all fun, everything was fine, I wasn’t messing up, and then another section joined

the mellos or altos or something

and we were like oooOoOoOOO because it’s always fun when sections join forces and do things like that

also Extra Pressure to not mess up but yknow

and then even more sections joined, the drum majors joined, and we had a Really Long Snake

We went all the way across the field, since the more sections we got, we got to take their sectionals space, and the other drill instructors joined ours in clicking

oh btw, the drill instructors don’t do it with us, they keep time. Ours was like “i’ll start and stop you”

and ofc she couldn’t stop us with so many people--not easily, anyway, since vocal commands wouldn’t reach any of us

anyway one of the drill instructors ran up to my section leader and was like “go circle [our band director]”

he was in his car, but we went straight up to him

he wasn’t thrilled to see that the piccolos were leading lemme tell you

but then after that, we got called off (I didn’t hear it but)

we were doing that for, like, 20-25 minutes

apparently, when the clarinets joined, our drill instructor said “should I stop them? the piccs have been doing this for a while” their drill instructor replied with, “nah, it’s helping them learn” “they’ve been doing this for 15 minutes” “oh”

It was a fun moment

we took a mini break then when back to full block band, and honestly?? that snake helped my marching so much??

like d a n g my step sizes were all equal and everything

I had to lead some stuff (due to where I stand and the exercises we were doing) and I didn’t mess anything up

and honestly that’s all I remember from morning rehearsal, like those were The Two Big Things

lunch

playing rehersal

the personnel manager, who we love, gave us piccs permission to move and create our own little block in the back because we couldn’t see

not the band director

the personnel manager

who asked the band director, and quote, “he doesn’t care”

hm

playing rehearsal was fine, we did sectionals, napped for the first 10 minutes because we were dead

btw at this point our band director hadn’t been seen for hours and the drum majors had been doing everything

he was writing drill

so we took a break after sectionals (lots of breaks because it was insanely hot out today) then got back into block

released half an hour early because the drum majors Understand

dinner

got biggby

night rehearsal!

we learned pregame!

so the picc numbers were in pairs, so our drill instructor paired returners with freshmen, and apparently all the other drill instructors did the same, so now in the beginning sets, there’s an entire line of drill instructors/high skilled returners, and the next line is Entirely Freshmen

Which, due to how pregame is written, causes problems later in the drill

I eventually end up with a few freshmen around me, one trumpet and one alto, and they’re both super nice and followed my supervision

generally in pregame, the sections all start out spread out, and by the end we’re all together

but this time the piccs are still spread out by the end, and you can really tell we were the Fillers

we sing at the end of every rehearsal, and juniors led, so I was like Oh Heck That’s Me

and then we were done!

tonight’s activity was getting ice cream, and the piccs all collectively decided to skip because we’re tired

also I wanna point out that both racially and sexually we are the most diverse section, which in my small, white school, is pretty awesome
