and if I can yap for a second the notion that art isn't worth making unless its doing numbers makes me so sad

getting a huge audience and surviving off your art is a dream situation but self-indulgence and enjoying the process is way more important than whatever your followers want

real ones will rock with you though your experimental phases and obscure fandoms & honestly that's all that matters

Me and the 12 year old twerp I have a one-sided rivalry with

I think birkin probably looked perpetually scuffed throughout his entire life. I doubt he ever had someone to teach him to take care of himself or to pay attention to when he is dressed incorrectly. Unlike Wesker who’s had a watchful eye staring down his neck ensuring he meets every standard.

If it was a choice between actually getting to know our companions better and developing their relationships with Rook as the player's avatar through classic, Bioware-style investigative conversations or having companions appear in random locations every time you return to the Lighthouse to listen to them spout banter that I could have just heard in the field instead, I know which I would have preferred.

Begging, begging, begging people to stop associating aging and femininity in men/masculine people as Wrong and Predatory. Femininity has no age limit.

To any feminine man, masculine person, or really, anybody who needs to hear this: Your femininity deserves to be recognized and celebrated. Aging is a natural and unique part of life, and you don't have to sacrifice your femininity for fear of being "too old" to be accepted or seen as charming. You are already charming.

There is no limit to being who you are. No matter what you're told, you still deserve to completely claim yourself.

it's hell on earth to be heavenly them's the breaks, they don't come gently

[djarin]

the way they both sidled up to each other. the way they kissed under the moonlight. the way they set and respected each other's boundaries. the hand holding, the thumb war, the gentle smile, the "you won." this is the queer representation i needed. queer people being unapologetically queer in all the gentle, sweet ways we know.

the new nightmare is cool but i think not putting them in hanfu was an missed opportunity

daydreaming about ellie getting you so deep into subspace that your head’s all fuzzy and you feel floaty :( and you just wanna be as close as possible to her so she cleans you up and cuddles you until you fall asleep, praising you and telling you how proud she is :(

“You did so good mama, such a good girl f’ me.”

While she’s kissing you all over and making sure you’re not hurt :( <33 she’d be so sweet and gentle

I know that we don’t have the full season yet so we could potentially get more but I doubt it.

I really and I mean REALLY despise how they handled the Eli/Demetri fight and that’s even outside of shipping.

They set up a really interesting fight. They call back to one of the worst moments in their relationship and do nothing meaningful with it. Demetri gets one line about how worried he was about losing Eli and that’s it. And as much as I love this show, there’s something infuriating about how they drag on the most overdone conflicts and breeze past the more interesting ones.

They afforded more time to the new catty female villain because apparently any girl from a rival dojo immediately has to be vindictive while the male character is afforded more depth. But they can’t give that to their characters that they’ve had since the beginning? They can’t just let these two friends have a genuine argument and actually talk through what happened between them?

And I’m not saying they had to be the main conflict. I recognize that Johnny, Daniel and co. are the main points. But I just wished they gave more time to let them argue. Not about who smelt it dealt it, not with a ridiculous cheating storyline. With actual care and consideration about their relationship.

Their relationship has consistently been swept under the rug. They could’ve done it in s4, arguably the perfect time to do so but they didn’t. They could’ve done it here but they didn’t. I’ll wait for part 3 but it seems that they’re once again relegated to a simple reconciliation when it’s anything but.

Again, I know that they’re not the main selling points (well maybe Hawk is but his presence and his fighting has significantly diminished but that’s a different conversation ) but I think they deserved more than what they got.
