was not in an emotional state to handle this, this is so sad so fucking sad, “it hits different because it’s you” BREAKS MY HEART,
i am actually so convinced you see into my brain bc the past weeks i’ve been listening a lot to hits different and thinking about harry and ginny and then you go and post this, seems quite suspicious, i’m kind of convinced i might be able to think your fics into existence by this point hahahah
hey if you are manifesting things do you want to go ahead and think chap 17 & 18 into existence real quick!? that’d be a big help! thanks!
not "i ship these characters" or "i want them to bond platonically" but a secret 3rd thing (I want them to be forced to interact by the Narrative bc they would HATE that)
"Someone said it, I forget who said it but, like, 'you dream your entire life on being on a team that freakin' good.' Right? It was meant to be—it was destiny. That save Bob made not even fucking looking? Like I bought the t-shirt! 'The Bobbery!' It's—"
"Fuck, yeah!"
"Bob—What's he like?"
"That's the kind-of shit that you realise is just destiny...in my opinion..."
"Does he talk?"
"Does he smile?"
"Bob? Yeah! Bob's awesome! Yeah, yeah—again, one of those perfect people."

even ekky isnt immune to good merch hats off to breakingt thats ekkys most prised possession now XD
you know that post about how scholars talk shit about each other when they write the phrase 'one might be tempted to assume,' or however it went. the entirety of crassus scholarship is like this.
but I think the reason why I can now accept and fully love the jukebox aspect of Trolls is because they fully embrace music into the story.
First movie kinda established that they sing and all BUT it’s the second movie is what fully made me believe that singing is part of them. World Tour was brilliant for expanding the world building with different trolls based on music genres. Beside it being just such a fun concept, it makes it so that music is literally part of their culture and species.
That’s why it feels more normal for me when they break into a song. It’s their #1 way of expression and living. They’re musically-based creatures.
By the third movie, now they’re just having fun with the whole idea of music by playing around with the idea of bands. And I love it.
They actually used the aspect of music to drive the lessons of their story. It’s been a while since I watched the first movie so I actually don’t remember what it was about but:
World Tour (2nd movie):
About accepting and celebrating all different types of culture and people = Used music genres.
Band Together (3rd movie):
About family and working together = Used music bands.
It works really well. So it makes me wonder what they could do for another possible movie? What other idea could they play around it? What if they don’t follow with another story based on music? Would it work?
But yeah that’s what I’m very excited and scare for if another movie were to come.
It really weirds me out when people hc Shu as trans, especially transfem, because if that were true he’d be a completely different character.
If he was transmasc, that implies that he’s AFAB. This in turn means that the whole point of his childhood, that being that he was shunned and bullied by his peers and even family members for being a boy and liking “girl” things, wouldn’t even exist because he would’ve been confirming to gender norms the whole time.
If he was transfem, it would make that whole point of his personal journey/story about defying gender norms completely moot. You’d just end up shoving him right back into the box that the whole purpose of his character is set to break, and that’s not a good thing from a storytelling perspective.
I’ve seen a fair handful of people celebrating that he’s “officially implied transfem” after Raison D’etre, and that simply isn’t true. His grandfather is the one being implied to be trans. The way Shu interprets the story of his grandfather is one of two men, and in the play him and Mika put on that’s how it’s portrayed. This is because Shu was looking to relate to the story, contrary to Mika who was looking for the “truth”.
Shu has never been trans, nor has that ever been implied to be the case, he’s always just been gender-non-conforming. I see it as somewhat inherently invalidating to his canon identity to try and push the idea that he’s transfem just because he likes dolls and dresses (especially since most of the people in this fandom seem that have pretty progressive mindsets, so you’d think that a canonically GNC cis character would be well received), regardless of the fact that unlike someone like Arashi he has never expressed a want to actually become a woman.
The same concept would apply to Hajime as well, and I think in his case in particular it’s worth noting that he actively has said he dislikes being seen as a girl, and yet people will still have those transfem headcanons. This is not me trying to say I’m against that type of hc in general, it just frustrates me when it’s used on a character where it actively goes against who they are.
Obviously Team Dark didn't go with the name "Team Shadow" because Rouge is clearly the leader, but sometimes I feel like it would've been funnier if they were named "Team Goth"

I would love to jump in on the Deviant hate train! Personally speaking, I feel like Deviant was never a true friend to the Wild Ones in lore or the BVB members in irl.
