#it's true. they made this real

i'm a little afraid to go to pride this year. many of us are, a little. sitting around our tapas and video games, the silence that hangs over the discord server. it feels different, we say.

we're privileged. the community that came before us laid the groundwork so i could be raised in a different world, and i will never forget their sacrifices and dedication. they gave us this: a pride that feels like community and celebration and joy. i remember the first few times i went to a queer event - i'd been raised so catholic. feeling safe like that, for the first time... it saved my life. i go to pride to celebrate that feeling - my people, laughing. out in the sun, the way we couldn't have been even 25 years ago. that feeling: no wonder we call it "pride."

who am i to be afraid anyway. there are parts of the world where people are doing much better work than i am. but it's just: i felt at home there, you know? and this year feels different. we are waiting on the dam to break. last year, at boston pride, there was a whole gaggle of sign-holders shouting about jesus. you walk around them and try not to let it get to you.

this year, i'm going to DC's pride with my girlfriend. google sends me concerns about if it's safe to exist in trump's america, if World Pride is a bigass target on all of us. every article uses the words "safety concerns" many, many times. three days ago i witnessed a shooting.

even straight people keep telling me - people are weird lately. sometimes we blame it on Covid and sometimes we blame it on the full moon. but i do remember a time before this, right. it's not just that people are more comfortable being rude. it's this strange, outwards violence. a comfort in being cruel.

it's a big hole to fall down anyway. it's not like they're going to do anything to make pride safe, not really. i don't want a police presence as the solution. and what if this is just fearmongering! what if this is just to get us to stop attending our own events! what if everything is actually fine, and i'm just freaked out by the stated intentions of our president!

and what if i'm just listening to things that are being said. what if i'm weighing the shape and size of this america accurately.

my mother calls me. she's been getting the articles too. i assure her i'll be careful, but i put the phone down and stare at it. i'm going to go to pride. other people made it safe for me, it is my duty and my honor to show up for my community. the only thing we've ever had was each other. it was always an act of bravery. being ourselves is brave.

but i am afraid. i lay out my outfit and i kiss my girlfriend. i cut my nails and clean up my undercut. i hold her hand and hang the sunset flag. the sound of this america feels different. like a volcano trembling. i will love her and i will love being queer and i will sing over the noise of it.

but ... still. in the back of my mind. that feeling, like something terrible has been shifted. like somewhere in the night - they remembered we're different.

"but Pyramids of Mars established that Sut-" my friend this is the three-separate-explanations-for-Atlantis show, as far as I'm concerned they can have a free-for-all when it comes to real-world mythology

"but they're ruining the canon!!" buddy I got good news for you, Doctor Who canon is a buffet and you don't have to eat anything you don't want to

WE CAN'T BE FRIENDS- a MettaTenna(+Spamton) playlist

Spotify | Youtube

A MettaTenna (with traces of SpamTenna), Cohost AU-inspired list heavy on the mess, jealousy and pining. Tracklist and 8tracks style lyric highlights under the cut!

Paparazzi- Lady Gaga I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me/ papa-paparazzi/baby there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be/your papa-paparazzi/ promise I'll be kind/but I won't stop until that boy is mine

Bed Chem- Sabrina Carpenter come right on me, I mean camradarie/ said you're not in my time zone but you wanna be/ where art thou? why not uponeth me?/ see it in my mind, let's fulfill the prophecy

Into You- Ariana Grande got everyone watchin us/so baby let's keep it secret/ a little bit scandalous/but baby don't let them see it/ a little less conversation and a little more touch my body/ cause i'm so into you, into you, into you

obsessed- Olivia Rodrigo and i know you love me, and i know it's crazy/ but every time you call my name, I think you mistake me for her/ you both have moved on/you don't even talk/ but i can't help it, i got issues, i can't help it baby/ i'm so obsessed with your ex

Misery Business- Paramore i waited eight long months/ she finally set him free/ i told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for me/two weeks and we'd caught on fire/ she's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile

Casual- Chappell Roan I thought you thought of me better/someone you couldn't lose/you said "we're not together" so now when we kiss, I have anger issues

Only Love Can Save Us Now (MILKBLOOD Remix)- Kesha yeah i'm possessive/maybe i'm possessed, bitch/fuck yeah i'm selfish/shut up, eat your breakfast/ i would kill for secrets, all mine been leakin'/I don't got no shame left, baby that's my freedom

Dance The Night- Dua Lipa even when the tears are flowin' like diamonds on my face/i'll still keep the party goin', not one hair out of place

bad idea right?- Olivia Rodrigo yes i know that he's my ex, but can't two people reconnect? / "i only see him as a friend", the biggest lie I ever said/ oh yes i know that he's my ex, but can't two people reconnect?/ i only see him as a friend, I just tripped and fell into his bed

Taste- Sabrina Carpenter every time you close your eyes/ and feel his lips you're feelin mine/ and every time you breathe his air/ just know i was already there/ you can have him if you like/ i've bee there done that once or twice/ and singin' bout it don't mean i care/ yeah I know I've been known to share

Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet- Fall Out Boy it's a sign, what if you peaked early?/ and does your husband know the way/ that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?/does he know the way? does he know the way? of the crickets that would convince me to call it a night? / does he? does he know the way I worship our love?

Good Luck, Babe!- Chappell Roan i'm cliche, who cares? / it's a sexually explicit kind of love affair/ and I cry, it's not fair/ i just need a little lovin', i just need a little air

I Don't Care- Fall Out Boy say my name and his in the same breath/ i dare you to say they taste the same

Man Of The Year- Lorde who's gon' love me like this?/ oh, who could give me lightness?/ way he flow down through me/ love me like this/ now I'm broken open/ let's hear it for the man of the year

we can't be friends (wait for your love)- Ariana Grande i don't wanna tiptoe, but i don't wanna hide/ but i don't wanna feed this monstrous fire/ just wanna let this story die/ and I'll be alright

to juxtapose ruby's idolisation of qrow and their wholesome uncle-niece relationship, i'd like to propose penny fucking hating clover's guts

[starryaida]

people ALWAYS have such weird takes on padmé and anakin's relationship,and while it's undeniable that they're not exactly models of healthy behaviors,i find that the way people speak about them is really weird in the context of the greater story of sw.the prequels and the ot are in themselves a complete story,and that complete story bases itself on the fact that anakin was not completly evil and unredeemable,but geniunely good and deserving of love.george lucas himself defined anakin's story as that of a good guy that lost his way,and stated several times that he truly loved padmé:

and that padmé reciprocated his love:

what tragedy would it be if the relationship was abusive and devoid of love from the start and padmé was "stuck"?why would the prequels be the tragedy of anakin skywalker if he was just an awful guy who got what he deserved?

all of this cannot be retroactively changed by inserting new characters or rules that don't reflect that,because then the entire meaning of the movies would be lost,yes,sw is set in an insanely big galaxy,and i wish that new characters and stories were explored more *cough cough renew the acolyte*,but the original six movies are all centered on the same guy and how he lost his way,not how evil he was or how bad his relationships were.

for the greater message of star wars to work,luke has to be right about vader,and if luke was right about vader,then so was padmé.if you don't believe those things the maybe this franchise isn't for you.

During the war Blake lively brought prisoners/injured soldiers to baba Yaga in exchange for all their stuff (and then they slept together) which makes sense because he is canonically a war profiteer but then he started feeling bad so he started only bringing her dead or really really close to death soldiers and their souls were NOT fresh. Expired souls. And then they had hate sex and she tried to kill him and that’s why she hates him now.
