i went back and watched first ep of thk again this time without being psychologically flashbanged every 2 seconds (which was only semi-successful tbh) and my biggest take away out of everything was that bison really gets off on power.

you can see it clear as day in that very first scene with the guy that they're targeting. this is clearly someone who has money and power - he's picking men out of line up like they're nothing more than clothes on a rack. but the reality is that bison is the one who's really in charge. bison is the one who has all the control. bison literally has this big, powerful man's life in his hands, and he really, really likes that.

you can see it in the look on his face when he shoves the guys face into his chest - he's disgusted, clearly, but he's also smiling. he looks so deeply satisfied, and why would he in a situation like that if not for the fact that he knows he has all the power in the world in that moment and is almost a little turned on by it. it doesn't matter that the other guy thinks bison's some weak little guy to be bought and given commands. it doesn't matter he's sitting there all smug thinking he's in control. bison knows the truth. that's enough. it's probably why he can so easily play along - that knowledge. that power. because really, what does it matter how rich or powerful someone is now that bison has him in his clutches? and what is that if not complete and total power?

you can see this desire for power and control bleed into other dynamics too. i think it's why he's so 'difficult' with fadel. fadel clearly loves and cares about him, and his concern is well meaning, but he does treat bison like a child. and to a certain degree it's probably warranted (i mean look at what happened at the karaoke bar). but at the same time between him and the little bit we know so far about their mother, bison's completely smothered. and sheltered (the guy doesn't even know how to cook a burger. they literally run a diner). and i think that has less to do with bison being inherently untrustworthy or reckless, and more to do with the fact that he just doesn't want to do what he's told. and i imagine in turn that made his mum - and by extension fadel - tighten the reins on him.

because bison, at least so far, seems to have really no control or even any say over his own life. he just does what he's told, either his mother or by fadel. he has no other choice really - it seems he has nothing and no one else. he's effectively trapped (which i think will be the catalyst in his and kant's relationship, bc kant is also trapped in a situation he can't get out of, but i digress) so he's rallying against their control over him in whatever little ways he can - causing problems, being difficult, being purposefully obtuse. i think bison is someone who knows he doesn't have any real power, and so uses what he does have to his advantage. he plays dumb and weak and naive and sweet to manipulate people and situations so he can get what he wants for a change. that's his power. and it seems effective enough, and he probably likes the little things that it can get him, but i think what bison really likes is the fact that he can make people bend to his will. sure he has to work for it, but the fact that he can have people dancing to his tune while being completely unaware of what he's doing is what he really likes. i think that's where bison's true power lies. and i think that that power goes straight to his head.

which brings us to kant. kant, who - at least in my opinion - bison thought was just another guy with a big ego who just expected bison to lay down and take it. like idk i just got the impression that bison was not super impressed w kant at first. and bison does try briefly to wrestle kant for the dominance/power that kant obviously thought was his to take (like the tapping to see who was going to go to who, and getting in each others face to see who was going to break and kiss the other first) but soon enough bison just lets him have it bc ultimately it's not that important. they weren't supposed to ever see each other again. he was gonna get off either way. but even so bison gave as good as he's got, making sure kant knew he wasn't just gonna lie down and take it. and i think that at some point bison kinda realises hey this guy is actually listening. hey he's kinda malleable actually. hey he's kinda putting on a lil show for me, taking his shirt off nice and slow. hey this is a lot more fun than i thought it would be. but at the end of the day he doesn't get his shit rocked by kant the way kant clearly gets his shit rocked by bison. bison literally put that man to sleep. kant's lying on his sofa all but twirling his hair afterwards. in comparison bison doesn't even seem particularly bothered about the whole thing until kant shows up at the diner.

but anyway my point is we pretty much know bison's desire for power is going play out in his dynamic with kant bc of the whole bdsm thing. imo this is going to be even more important if it does turn out that he knows/suspects kant's motives - which, after a second watch, i am a lot more likely to believe. it was just so obvious. of all the things bison could've been doing right then, he just so happened to be cleaning the windows? with a big mirror right next to him? yeah ok sure. but don't expect me to act surprised if we find out down the line that bison was behind the scenes puppeteering this whole thing with kant - and with his family too.

because really the question is if he suspects kant's intentions - which he clearly did, no matter how briefly - why would he not tell fadel? why would he not seek help? and i think the answer to that lies - again - in the fact that bison wants power. any thread of it he can grab onto he does with both hands, whether that be that killing or domming or pissing people (fadel) off. playing games with people's minds and lives in that way - even those of the people closest to him, even his own - really doesn't seem like that much of a stretch judging by his behaviour so far. i think he'd probably be rubbing his hands together like an evil little fly at the thought of everyone thinking he was dumb or naive or a liability when the whole time he's the one pulling all the strings. he's the one who has everyone's lives in his hands. he's the one keeping all of their asses out of prison while at the same time he's got the guy who's supposed to be his downfall tied up in knots (both literally and metaphorically)

and even if that isn't the case and bison really does have no clue what kant's up to, i still think he's loving the fact that kant is so desperate and eager to win him over. bc ulterior motives or not kant really was sooooo dickmatised by bison. even before chris got on his ass he was telling his bestie abt it like 'i didn't even get his name 🥺️ it's like i slept w a ghost 🥺️ he only exists in my memory 🥺️' like he was down horrendous for bison the moment he got him in that hotel room, and bison KNOWS it. he knows the power he holds over kant, and he loves that shit. he loves that kant ate that shitty burger just to stay on his good side and he loves that kant is so doggedly persistent in trying to be his boyfriend and he loves that when his big brother tried to scare him off kant didn't run or give up but instead asked him 'well how can i get him off our backs?'

and sure we know why. but does it really matter? bison just loves the fact that he can tease kant and not give him what he wants and still kant will just grin and continue to chase him, drooling like a cartoon dog who's just caught scent of a freshly cooked steak. it doesn't really matter why: bison loves power and he loves how eager kant is to give it to him. that's why it's really not that shocking their relationship veers into bdsm territory. kant already seems more than willing to give bison whatever he wants, and what bison really wants is power (and freedom, but we haven't really seen the depth of that particular want just yet). of course kant's going to give him that power, no matter what that looks like.

(but while we're on the topic, i'm really interested to see the dynamics kant and bison adopt the next time they have sex. we know they venture into bdsm territory eventually, but if bison introduces that into their sexual relationship right away (excluding their first time obv) i'm gonna be really side eyeing that little guy bc it's like oh? why are so desperate to be in charge? is it bc you know that guy thinks he's playing you and you wanna see how far he'll go to get what he wants? is it bc the idea of you having this man - this man who thinks he's playing you for a fool - blindfolded and tied to your headboard makes you feel drunk with power? is it bc the idea of hurting this man who's trying to hurt you and him wholeheartedly LETTING you gets you off like nothing else? bc if that really is the case we're reaching unprecedented levels of horny i fear)

anyway this post was just supposed to be a little thing about bison getting off on power i didn't meant for it to turn into a character study/ted talk on his relationship dynamics but here we are lmfao anyway i love bison already i wanna dissect him in a lab <3

I’m gonna be honest with y’all, I’m not answering these asks that keep coming into my inbox talking about the post I made, what I said, xyz because most of the talking points from said anons remains the same: I’m bullying people, not everyone thinks TLOU incorporates trauma porn as a plot device, liking the show isn’t an endorsement of zionism, I shouldn’t be engaging in the fandom if I hate the source material so much, I should have been nicer, I’m lying about my personal experiences and why I’m even bringing this up in the first place.

I knew from the jump that if I made that post I was going to get shit for it, and I also knew it wouldn’t have mattered if I added the screenshots, if I didn’t, if I shortened the post or were any less reactionary. I would’ve gotten the same response and reaction? Why? Because some people don’t know how to not be ignorant. It wouldn’t have mattered whether I made the post or didn’t, or if I liked somebody else’s posts about the same topics we keep talking about in circles, the result would have been the same. I knew in advance what was coming towards me, I didn’t anticipate how quickly, if I’m being real, but from the messages I have been getting, it’s obvious that people are more upset about me making the post versus why I made it.

Simply put, people just don’t get it. Whether they decide to purposefully ignore things or not is up to them.

Many of you are being purposefully obtuse about how that original post came off. Only a couple of people have been vocal about the problems of S2 of TLOU recently, regardless of the second game coming out, and how the show may include some of the same themes, if not worse, considering how they’re changing things in the show. That’s primarily me, Vetty, and Noelle. I’m sure others have been talking about it as well whom I probably haven’t had the pleasure of engaging with directly, but considering I have been one of the few people openly talking about the perception of the show, the connections to harmful themes behind it, and how Pedro being a latino man a color with a background of coming from a family of political refugees changes things; the original post does seem like a dig at the 5-6 people bringing that specific point up.

I’ve seen passive-aggressive posts on here talking about how those who talk about critiques of TLOU, plot issues and bad writing aside, are ruining the experience for others, and that we should just shut up. I think that’s the problem with this whole situation. A lot of you would rather ignore other people’s voices for your comfort and enjoyment at their expense, and you just can’t admit to that. Like so many people have said before, this is the approach many of you in the fandom have taken when it comes to literally anything, whether consciously or unconsciously. You all preach about spreading kindness and building community, but don’t care when those who don’t feel welcomed speak up when they are being targeted for actually existing in the same way their existence is targeted in real life.

Many of us, I’m sure, live in the imperial core, being the United States. We’ve grown accustomed to living through violence, mass death, and likewise have been conditioned to determine who should be put on the chopping block for our comforts. We are living and witnessing multiple genocides, some have “slowed down”, some never stopped, but acting like having critical thinking skills towards media that feeds off of these very concepts that will eventually trickle down to us is a crime and a personal attack, shows your lack of perception.

Of course, I was frustrated and reactionary when I made that post a few hours ago, it’s a talking point I’ve made personally, on this page, multiple times that many people have seen and unfollowed me for. Why are y’all blaming me for my tone and approach of all things, as if I haven’t been getting the short end of the stick every time I had something to say? Why do I have to be the one to remain cordial when damn near every one of y’all keep engaging in bullshit posts? Let me simplify why I’m upset and then maybe y’all will get it:

What many others and I have been saying repeatedly is that aligning yourselves with people who continuously post about moral justifications ruining their consumption and enjoyment makes your general approach to said consumption problematic. Nobody, literally nobody, is telling anyone to stop watching the show, because that would make us all hypocrites. We ALL are either watching the show, playing the game, writing about either source, etc. The main reason why is because we want to, because we can, because we enjoy it, because we love Joel Miller and want to fuck him, that’s a no brainer. That’s why we’re in the fandom, right? That’s why it exists. But the problem here is saying that those who bring up their critiques are purposefully making fandom spaces negative by using their critical thinking skills and viewing things in a real-world perspective, with current real-world politics, some do not have. Making posts like that is dismissive as hell; frankly, it’s dumb and petty. This is why I hate the fandom more than I hate the material, and I’ve already made peace with the fact that I don’t want to partake in this hellhole anymore. Y’all got it. Nobody is ruining the fandom, it’s already been ruined so many times over, it’s a dumpster fire now.

At the end of the day, you can have your opinions on the show; nobody is saying you can’t enjoy it, and nobody has been saying that. All I’ve been saying, at least, is to have some sense when it comes to people from marginalized backgrounds bringing up things you may not even consider. If you want to die behind the show and what it carries, fine, by all means, do that. But people see how you move on here, whether you think it’ll come off a certain way or not. We’re not stupid, I certainly am not even if some of y’all are thinking this all chronically online regurgitated bullshit as if my degree isn’t on the very institutional systems that harm us in modern day society and I have my personal experiences as a community member and legal advocate. Whatever you think of me doesn’t take away from the fact that marginalized voices are constantly suppressed, judged, and dogpiled everywhere constantly from those who don’t want to hear it or don’t care because it somehow interferes with their ability to enjoy things.

Honestly growing tired of seeing people add so many caveats and disclaimers when they express that they enjoyed S2. I've seen countless "I know X could have been better," and "I know Y was a bit hit or miss" and "sure, we needed more Z" comments all over the place.

Who the fuck cares. And since when does something need to be absolutely 100% perfect in order to love it?

I loved season 2. It was a beautiful season of television. I got to see my favorite characters in new situations. I laughed, I cried, I gasped, I marveled. It made me think and dream and imagine. It expanded on the story in rich and unexpected ways. It gave me so much new content to chew on, and also made me excited about what still is to come.

Seriously. Just loved it, and I can't wait to do approximately eleventy billion rewatches so I can love it even more.

The Return of Pirate AU "Awkward . . ." Captain Barnacles ~~~~~~~~~~

CW: Suggestive (?) ------- ====================

HHHHHHHHHHH, THIS TOOK TEN+ HOURS, BUT IT TURNED OUT SO WELL, I'M SO PROUD! (Click image for better quality.)

@mildy-vibing he's consulting Chat . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONTEXT (SO I LOOK SLIGHTLY LESS INSANE) :

My Pirate AU, for my own enjoyment, is a tad more mature than my other au's --- piracy irl was just a harsh line of work and a position held mostly by generally bad people. It has been heavily romantized in modern media. This AU, for the better part, follows along with the romantized view of piracy, with all its flairs and flourishes, because that's what's fun to me. --- I also have a crude sense of humor, it's just what I enjoy, and because it's my AU, my say goes.

There's an air of realism to all my au's, but for the better part, it's based on fiction and what I want to happen/enjoy to see.

AU Lore Reminder : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Barnacles is a notorious pirate lord, revered and feared by sailors and land-lubbers alike. He's a man of modern legend, known for his ruthlessness, but also his chivalry, and this atribute of his character is where he got his title/name from; "The Gentleman Blue."

(There will be a seperate post for his entire lore/story at a later date. But not here hehehehe~)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the context of this drawing : . . . Barnacles has a reputation to uphold. He has to remain a notable terror and intimidating figure lest he be ruined. So, (for my own shits and giggles) and to appear "cool TM," he'll visit man-brothels/male-only prostitutes (I don't know if there's an actual term for that line of work, nor is it historically accurate, based on my research, but ✨️I Don't Care✨️. As previously stated, its for my own enjoyment.) ((Also, my Barnacles is, according to my general AU's canon, gay.))

However, as it seems, the evil pirate lord is . . . dun dun dun, a big baby. He's lovably awkward and easily embarrasses himself (canon) --- For his own life, he just cannot bring himself to do anything with anyone. He's performance shy, you could say /J 🤭 (he's very much a fake-it-til-you-make it guy, in all my au's.)

The prostitutes he frequents have since lovingly been named Chat. They're pretty much his therapists/consultants. They know ALL the dirt. (It's an inside joke between me and my friend)
