It's eternally a little funny whenever I see someone say something along the lines of 'everyone in Strive is so happy now! Everyone's stories are getting resolved! It'll be hard to make a new game when everyone's retired and living peacefully and resolved their problems' and then there's a haunted semi-sentient mecha corpse in the corner constantly screaming from being trapped in limbo

yall ever read da meta and know that op thought they were cooking. but the post is like this

[yellowsubiesdance]

i think i’ve learned a lot when it comes to not applying my own values to the media i consume

for my script analysis class yesterday, we discussed two gentleman from verona, and nearly every classmate of mine was up in arms about how sexist the story is.

and i'm not saying it's not, or that it's not infuriating to read. but i'm also not putting my energy into getting upset about something written 500 or so years ago. and i'm not about to put my own beliefs onto these characters that are not me. i'm going to let their choices speak for themselves, and interpret it in the context of the story.

all that said, this now brings me to the point of alastor in episode 5, and how viscerally people are responding to it. those of you up in arms about the choices he’s making, and the violent threat he gave husk, you’re missing the entire point of his character, of this place they’re in, of the story being told. he’s an overlord, and he became an overlord by killing much bigger overlords and broadcasting their deaths over the radio.

HE IS NOT A GOOD PERSON.

if you started this show with the belief that every character working the hotel is a good person, you’re in the wrong place. watch the good place if you’re looking for a good wholesome story about getting dead sinners into heaven, because that’s not what this show is about.

you’re more than welcome to hate him after seeing the way he exerted power over a being whose soul he owns, but you’re doing the media you’re watching a disservice by writing it off so quickly. if you don’t like to be uncomfortable watching media, watch something else. this is an uncomfortable show, it handles uncomfortable topics, and it’s going to be an uncomfortable ride, and if you’re not up for something like that, then you should take a break from it and pick up something else. you don’t have to get online and defend your own ideals while you watch a show that goes against your ideals.

Euijeong represented everything Junmo thought he was supposed to be and what was expected of him and Gicheul represented who he was, the good and the bad.

So Junmo leaving his ring on Gicheul’s grave was like his way of saying that he’s finally accepting himself. He’s spent too much of his life living for other people.

I know Junmo did some terrible things in his time with Gicheul that he wished he hadn’t, but I also think that was the most he’s ever felt like he actually belonged. He clearly loved Gicheul (whichever way you want to interpret that) and I can’t imagine anyone is coming out of this sane.

[tethered-heartstrings]

why is posting a fic harder than writing it

[planet4546b]

one thing i really like about decade is that it’s the bit where you see the most of samira as a character because so much of it is up to her interpretation so Sooooo much of it is like. Well why do you think that samira. Huh. Huh?

((🛎️)) *Crowley voice* I'm back.

Aziraphale and Crowley are strangers who are both stuck in a snowed in cabin.

Or! Regular (angel/demon) Aziraphale and Crowley use the snow as a thinly veiled excuse to justify spending time together. (Nevermind that they could miracle their way out of there)

Maybe they come up with new ways to keep warm and pass the time... 👀

Aziraphale/Crowley | Apocalypse AU | FR12 | 971 words     At the end of the world, strangers Aziraphale and Crowley are snowed-in together at Aziraphale's Soho bookshop. I hope you enjoy!

Crowley woke in a tangle of blankets, the warm weight of the Angel resting along his back. He savoured Aziraphale’s body heat for a moment: the bracket of his thighs encompassing Crowley’s own; a hand slung possessively over Crowley’s hips. There was little material providing a barrier between them – after all, the purpose of this…arrangement was to share body heat during the night. With freezing temperatures outside the Soho bookshop, it was necessary for them to cuddle in a cocoon of blankets, bodies pressed tight against each other. So what if Crowley found himself waking every morning to a pressing erection straining against his boxers? So what if he felt the outline of the Angel’s cock against the curve of his arse, leaving Crowley with an intensely explicit idea of just how well they would fit together?

They weren’t partners. They weren’t even friends. Just strangers, needing each other to survive.

"Reading in between the lines" means nothing if you can't see what's laid out in plain view.

Yes, this is about Billy Hargrove.

It's incredibly weird to me that he's pretty much the only character in ST we know the most about... and yet he's the most misunderstood.

If you can't comprehend what's in front of you, but you're able to make the biggest reach for shit that's only implied, you're not making accurate criticism about media, you're creating an alternate universe and spreading lies about a character just because you cannot understand them.

And btw, if you don't want to listen to Dacre's opinions on a character he played because "he's a white man", but you hang on the Duffers' every word when it comes to Billy, you're a hypocrite.
