Right so. Travis, I feel like calling him a himbo at this point is not appropriate, maybe pretty cheating dipshit? That’s what his character is this season. At least last season he was “in over his head guy with a good heart. And pretty”. Tbh I’m not surprised I don’t ever know what the writers are doing with this poor guy.

Truly. I question why did the writers even have him be with Eli for this season? And then cheat on him with Emmet? Eye candy? Fan service? Idk? Is it subversive that the bi is the faithful one and the gay the cheater or is it just bad? It’s the last season I hope this leads somewhere half decent for all of them.

Also. Leaving meta now. Dude, Travis, plz give Eli some dignity, -and Emmett actually, Bc none of that is dignity- confess everything. Figure out if you even want to be with him. Go to therapy. Also Eli is even less of a character this season so I’m pretty sure they’ll break up -which is unfortunate, I liked Eli! We didn’t get a lot with him but I did like what we got. And tbh a bit of it was the idea of a competent professional man being bi, that’s potentially some nice representation! That would have been nice. I mean. Instead he’s a stepping stone in the disastrous adventures of Travis.

I tbh barely remember Emmett. Feels like a hundred years ago we last saw him. He was alright? Deserved better then Travis I think based on their relationship? Idk. He kinda seems to know it even, so that’s something. Will he become more of a character? Who knows!

All that said -and im so sorry it was so much- I’m for two results one bc I’m a polyshipper at heart and so any result involving that I’d gladly take. It’s off to a terrible start but I also like terrible funny results. Speaking of which. Emmett and Eli leave Travis and get together with each other. He can go to therapy and be single for a while. Join Grindr. Idk.

okay but you see sam has ALSO fallen for dean's act. sam also believes dean to be the macho, daddy's soldier, beer boobs cars guy he presents himself as. this is why sam makes fun of dean whenever he even lightly steps out of that mold and thinks it's harmless banter instead of attacking an insecurity. it's why he laughs when john talks down to dean in the early seasons and it's why he seems surprised when dean is more comfortable with himself in the later seasons. it's why he just scoffs but doesn't push it when dean puts up a front and refuses to talk about his emotions and just accepts whatever excuse he makes at face value. it's why he offers dean a strip club to make him feel better when cas dies. and this isn't his fault!! dean has spent a very long time perfecting this image in front of everyone and ESPECIALLY to sam because along with it comes safety and security and stability and the only person. who has consistently been able to see through it. is castiel

Ryuji having the worst bi crisis of his fucking life bc his mom just had to fucking ask “oh, whats this young ladys name?” when he showed her a picture of Akira petting Morgana. Like okay yeah Akira is like objectively pretty, hes like the Classic Delicate Pretty Boy just like Yusuke which is like whatever; straight dudes have eyes, and they know what women like to see. But now hes like. Seeing things he likes in girls IN Akira now and he cant make it Stop like its genuinely keeping him up at night 😭

Pretty boy used to be A Face that would come up in his mind when he thought of the term. There was no specifics in mind, just like. Pretty Boy. Pretty boy! You say that and theres like a Face Template that shows up in ur minds eye and hed just attribute that to any dude who was like Vaguely Pretty. But now its Akira 😭 and he finds himself cataloging things that Akira does that he KNOWS he finds cute when girls do it. The hairtuck behind the ears. The headtilt when he mishears a question. The Actually Pretty Doe Eyes. The breathy, nearly inaudible chuckle he does in place of a Real laugh (thats made better by the fact that its so hard to get him to laugh in the first place). He likes cute snacks. He blushes easily. Ryuji is sitting here like ‘theres no fucking way man. Like theres just no way. That shit makes NO sense (a lie)’ lying in bed in the middle of the night looking like this vvvv w his phone in his hands (looking at pictures of akira)

It drives him insane bc like he did Not see any of these things as like inherently girly or whatever. Like thats just akira thats just his bro! And he does OTHER weird shit that cancels all that shit out. Hes like a messy engineer/tinkerer, he rolls out of bed and whatever situation his hair is is everyones problem. He wears that AWFUL gym uniform and doesnt tweak it AT ALL?? He likes baseball?? hes got a whole binder of trading cards that he will show off if u show any moment of weakness. Like hes just Some Dude but also manages to be Some Girl at the same time and Ryuji is like thats not fair. Life sucked ass but at least it made sense before Akira stumbled into it 😭

Kevin is always a spectacle, always dehumanised in some way. The prophet, the spokesperson of strex, the boy. What he is has always been seen as more important than WHO he is in every era, even as the voice of his town, there’s an element of what he can do for others being more important than who he is himself. He is a radio host, a performer, and oh boy does he perform. Year after year, no matter what he’s doing, he can’t escape being a spectacle, until the only way he knows how to seek self discovery and help is by turning up the radio station in night vale as a child and speak to the town he doesn’t even have connection to (as much as his own, he does have links to it obviously).

This man is always for someone’s gaze, when he was strex’s spokesperson it was more hammered home, no free will and being forced to represent propaganda, and even when he’s escaped that he can’t find comfort in anything else! In mudstone abyss he latches onto his religious power because the need for safety represents itself through his learned need for control and, not unnoticeably, his need to be a spectacle.

Of course people can just like attention and I’m not disputing that, but he is rarely given attention as a person (except like. By Charles and Donovan who are his family. And by Lauren I believe, who may not like him but she sure does see him as a person. Just the worst one she’s ever had the displeasure of being near. She also loves him. He loves her, I don’t care what you say to me.) so he goes to what he’s USED to! Being a symbol, being dehumanised and seen for an ideology, whether it was community pre strex, strexcorp, or religious power, and more recently, he’s the boy. The boy was a mystery and now yet again a symbol for night vales fear (as a figure for nv to project their fear and confusion onto)

KEVIN CANNOT ESCAPE PERFORMANCE. HE CANNOT HELP BEING A SPECTACLE. SOMEONE SHOOT ME

Points at my pinned message. There's a message there in bold. I'm sorry I don't clarify that I'm talking about CHARACTERS ONLY in posts that I don't maintag. I presume if you're on my blog to see these posts at all, you would already know as much. CHARACTERS please... just characters.... I've acknowledged that CC Jimmy is not bothered by the bullying many times. I'm very aware... I'm talking about characters......................

If i see one more person spread “news” sourced to outlets like f1-insider… please actually pay attention to sources and use critical thought about where it came from. these accounts want their engagement numbers and will share information derived from a fucking reddit comment if they think it’ll earn them a few extra dollars. there’s always an off chance these bullshit tabloids are right, but they almost never are, and a legitimate source will come along if there’s any whisper of truth to it. i just beg of people to simply wait for sources with the slightest bit of credibility to their name before they start sharing information.

can't even do the classic anxious "i feel like i'm being watched" in my own home anymore. because i am. anytime i'm at home my bird is just ...there. staring at me. it sort of cancels out any more ominous being watched sensations.

How would we feel about a royal/ medieval setting au

Ik it’s popular for cheesy romance but I could literally not care less about stuff like that, so it’s just the greasers messing around and breaking the law. The socs are, idk, royals (guards, actual royalty, anything fancy). That’s all I got for now

Curtis gang steals horses or something and the socs are so done with them, what kind of tomfoolery is this bro

Maybe the other gangs live in different parts of the kingdom, or different kingdoms entirely and they just kinda pop by every now and then (also reversed)

something something "character who is born into privilege but through circumstances relating to their birth has to suffer a pain they're helpless to preventing, and yet they don't stop trying to prevent the pain even knowing they cannot"

unstoppable force (audhd with a hyperfixation writing tens of thousands of words of fanfiction) vs immovable object (the inescapable knowledge that if i ever get round to finishing & posting this it'll most likely flop because i'm writing the main character as aroace)
