i’m probably making sebastian way too soft, but like i’d also be an emotional soft mess for blaine anderson, so whoops i’ll just touch it up while editing probably or not

One thing I loved about Mickey 17, and specifically Nasha and Mickey's relationship, is that I feel in any other movie, Nasha would be this cool, distant figure who Mickey is in love with from afar, and there would be this subplot where this awkward, nerdy guy eventually does something really cool and heroic that makes her take notice and fall in love with him back. But that isn't what happens! They are happy and in love the entire time!

Mickey doesn't need to do something particularly special or out of character beyond being the person he's always been. Nasha isn't some ideal he's trying to live up to or be good enough for. They're both these fully realised people, and they're both worthy of (and have) each others love and admiration the entire time.

With this new info about Mizi, and showing even more clearly Till being only shallow-y attracted to her facade and him knowing she only loves Sua and Mizi being disgusted, dissapointed about what Till feels about her while being friendly outwardly and I'm like. What the hell was that R2 song Till? Augh. He doesn't let himself know anything about the true Mizi (bc he's in such a bad situation himself he can't) but I'm just. Ouch. Haunted. By how much Mizi did not need that happening just after she lost Sua and was glad to be alive and horrified at herself for it and heartbroken at losing her.

I've no doubt Mizi cared for Till as a friend, which is probably why she feels so guilty (she trying to smile for him between tears as he dies is. Mizi my girl I love you) but she has no reason to? Till was already gonna lose when she appeared in the crowd. Augh.

Till being unable to be anything but himself and show all his emotions up front probably meant he was doomed since the start. He's not an actor. And you need to be one to be a good idol and win the influence game.

Anyways I'm now rootating Mizi, and MiziSua (glad to see the fault lines there it's much more interesting to me now we get Mizi pov) and Mizi +all the other characters and how real has this went about it. Ouch.

catholic guilt is one thing but southern baptism shame is a whole different monster i don’t see many people talking about

[tayloralisonswift]

you in no way have to like what was that or anything lorde (or anyone else!) puts out but the criticism that she’s trying too hard to sound like someone else is bizarre to me because this song sounds like the narrator of melodrama all grown up… which is exactly what it is.,.. like it’s very lorde to me

trans headcanons of the winchesters are always extremely fun to play around with and i can see most of them. but one that always rings slightly false to me, despite a love for it due to self-identification and the fact it’s definitely interesting, is transmasculine dean. simply because if you’re going according to canon this would require him to have transitioned at some point prior to johns death, probably much prior, probably as a youngish kid. and i genuinely do not think that ever could’ve happened. he values johns approval too much and is too scared of demanding too much of him.

like even aside from whether john is Actually transphobic (i doubt he’s like Cartoonishly transphobic he probably would be annoyed by it slash not care much, interpret ‘not caring’ however you want) just the whole Thing of coming out where you’re like. “Hey dad im actually a human person who has an internal sense of self and such that doesn’t happen to be You 2.0 and am not the gender you thought i was and i feel emotions to such an extent that i actually like need to transition”…….

no fucking way dean would ever be able to do that to john while he’s still alive. please. teenage transmasculine dean would be like Well yeah sure i want to be a guy but that’s not an option for me whatsofuckingever. and crucially he’d be like that even if he knew entirely about trans people. now this is why transfemme dean works so well. because you just know it would take her at least thirty years to even consider it for a singular second.

on the other hand transmasc sam works so well because you can picture teenage transmasculine sam realising he’s a boy and promptly making it part of the whole entirely justified and very cool and fun teen angst rebellion FUCK YOU DAD thing. he could let spite carry him to the point of coming out. dean? he is burying that shit deep.

Haven't caught up with NADDPod (or. any podcast. the podcasts start coming and they don't stop coming) and forgetting my headphones on this trip did not help, but on one of the chat episodes leading into the finale Murph mentioned they were planning to move to shorter campaigns. TAZ has done this as well, and I'll admit I have mixed feelings, because there are so few truly long-running campaigns out there and I think there's a unique sort of story you can tell with longform. On the other hand, TAZ has gone pretty open-ended (Vs. Dracula was 30 episodes, which is not short, either, and I wouldn't be surprised if Abnimals ends up running about that long as well). I also think that WBN swung so far in the other direction the fandom lost interest. Anyway, I wonder if Critical Role is going to do this post C3 because if you leave it short or medium but open-ended in terms of episodes, I think you can still tell a very good story, even though you can't do something with quite as epic a scope. You also don't run into the failure of ambition thing I mentioned before, in which you allot 4 or 8 or 10 episodes and then kind of run out of time; if you say "we're aiming for Not 100 episodes, but if we land between 15 and 50 we're good" I think it works out much more smoothly.

if you only think thin women are attractive, or you only ever reblog images of thin women, or you only mostly do, maybe investigate that

"oh so people aren't allowed to have types? or aesthetic preferences?" of course we are. but when our types align as strongly with western imperialist patriarchal ideals as traits like "white" or "thin" or "young" or "feminine" then we should probably like. dig into why we're attracted excusively to one or more of those things

in case it's. you know. the inescapable patriarchal propaganda making us complicit in the punishment of women who deviate from those demands

"how do i investigate that?" ask yourself questions when you find a thin woman attractive. what is it i am attracted to about this woman, other than her thin body type? ask yourself questions when your eyes slide over a fat woman with the same style or attitude of thin women you find attractive. what is it about her that makes her invisible to me? or what is it about her that awakens a feeling of negativity or disgust? or of camaraderie rather than attraction?

i don't expect this post to change anybody's preferences or actions. and i'm not making it to shame anybody. i'm just exhausted by the relentlessness with which thinness is championed and fat bodies are erased from existence and particularly from desirability, and i'm tired of the fact that i have to notice it every second of every day, while most everybody else is free from thinking about it at all.

I'm not saying you should change the modern au, but I am asking you to imagine... Vasco with a motorbike and Machete hating every second of it the first time. The troupe! The opportunity for Vasco in biker leather!

I've been thinking about the possibility of Vasco having a motorbike, actually! I can imagine him looking fetching in leather. Too bad I know nothing about motorcycles.

this may be an unpopular opinion but i hope tma never gets a visual adaptation

i sort of want to put my thoughts in order re tommyarthur comparisons, mostly i think the similarities are more facile, but nevertheless definitely there

Any thoughts on Durandal+Theresa bonding over being clone girls who were mistreated by Otto but not being able to fully hate him because he was still someone they care about and a parental figure

GENUINELY THINK ABT THIS ALL THE TIME!!!!! esp w theresa's initial dislike for durandal its kinda funny how they don't really address this?????? unless im misremembering but god. yeah. love thinking abt them in orbit to each other but i dont know if they would be close. i'd hope they would though. like i'd like to think theresa starts seeing more cecilia in her sometimes and it like breaks her heart that she didn't manage to recognize her after she promised to look after her when she was kiana.

i think they'd make jokes abt otto's habits and shit sometimes just out of grief. they both understand each others complicated feelings towards him bc who else would understand but the overseer's other favorite.......
