TOWL Ep 1

Absolutely Speechless. 😭 I know I’ll find all the words for how much I adored this premiere eventually but for right now…just utter awe. Everything was INCREDIBLE. Andy and Danai's performance in ep 1 was excellent and quite truly what dreams are made of. Also I literally, not figuratively, literally stopped breathing several times from the heart-swelling emotion throughout.

I’m gonna eat 5 more of these dinners episodes, okay? 😊🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕💍

What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭

So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.

With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.

Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.

But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

Day & Itt's traditional Thai wedding —LOVE SYNDROME III, Episode 12 (Finale)

[saltpepperbeard]

sometimes i just think about the fact that david thought the kiss was just going to be a kiss and that it wasn’t really going to resonate as strongly as it actually did, and that our reaction to it made him truly realize how important it is, and what is important to us.

...annnndd that makes me both excited and terrified for the upcoming seasons because he now has just the right ingredients and wherewithal to kill us all <3

I JUST WATCHED THE RWBY JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE AND HOLY FUCK. YOU GUYS ITS SO GOOD YOU ARE NOT READY

[yourqueenb]

It’s not all bad though. I’ve been having a lot of fun working on my wedding invitations and watching my little comfort show ☺️

[tea-earl-grey]

Ngl, I really think that these bylers that are crying 24/7 about "purity culture" or whatever, are playing dumb when they start with their "but Nancy and Steve were 16 and 17 in that scene of s1!!!1" like... We got introduced to these characters at that age and the people playing them were already adults. So yeah, sorry but I think it's easy to see why most viewers would be uncomfortable with a more sexual scene of Mike and Will and it's not automatically homophobia, I think that would be the case with any of the kids since we got introduced to these characters when they were 12 and the actors were babies as well. We literally saw those kids grow. And I'm not saying byler should only get to peck or hold hands, It'd be cool if they have their epic kiss or whatever, but Will hasn't even had his first kiss yet and some of these people are already talking about sex scenes, like... Be for real 😭

funny you should say that...because i've used the nancy was 15-16 in season one argument (last tag) before while also saying that i understand why people find the sex part of their sexualities uncomfortable to discuss. and i wanna reiterate that, again, i totally understand that people feel like they've seen them grow up etc etc and that they still think of the actors themselves as children even thought they're not anymore.

i don't think it's all homophobia because like you said, people would probably feel the same about lucas and max and discussions of sex (i don't know if anyone is discussing that because there's much less discourse to have there and you can't argue that people are homophobic if they disagree with you) but i don't think it would be justified either. the "but we knew the characters when they were little" argument makes me think me of an ancient disney channel/abc show that old people and girl meets world fans who watched it for the first time in the 2010s will know, boy meets world (1993-2000). classic comic of age show, look at these kids. and eric in the back (he's fifteen).

they're eleven at the start of the show and then, what happens in any coming of age story happens, you guessed it...

they grow up. this is them in the later seasons, when the main characters are still in high school i think. they grow up, they talk about sex and about having sex at prom in season five and then they don't have sex right away because they figure it's not the right time yet or something like that, and then they have sex later and get married, the details don't matter. but my point is, who watches a show for five seasons, over years and years and gets upset at the main characters having sex because "this is crazy they used to be children"? isn't that the point of coming of age stories that cover multiple years or that focus on the latter years of adolescence, that they're not children forever and that at one point the characters "come of age" which usually includes their first sexual experiences?

i don't think the having sex part is particularly important in stranger things but also it doesn't have to be for it to be portrayed (see jonathan and nancy), teenagers have sex, it's just the way the world works. i'm not advocating for sex scenes of any kind especially because stranger things isn't a show that features a lot of sex in general, the only "explicit" sex scene being nancy and steve in season one with cuts to barb dying, but i genuinely don't think the duffers would have any qualms about portraying teenage sexuality in general with the party. if they did, they wouldn't have included erica threatening lucas to tell dustin what she found under his bed (it wasn't the communist manifesto) and they wouldn't have had max looking at a shirtless steve for an amount of time that's supposed to make the audience laugh. it's been 7 years. if they do a time jump, the babies will be about 17, played by actors who will all be around 20, the age natalia was when filming season one. the characters are teenagers, babies grow up. it happens to the best of us. i get why people would find it uncomfortable and maybe i would find it uncomfortable too but i wouldn't be scandalized. the duffers had no problem having a child actor portray everything will goes through in seasons one and especially two, i really feel like sex is fine and...not traumatizing or hard to watch compared to every single thing will's gone through lol. and again, i'm not even expecting them to have sex lmao, but i wouldn't cry myself to sleep if they revealed that everyone in the party actually knows what sex is.

last question: do we have any indication that jonathan had talked to more than one other girl (the girl at the halloween party being the one girl i'm counting for him) before he got together with nancy. i'm just asking because of your last sentence, because if we don't he should have slowed down also😭

[basslinegrave]

thinking about the sonic 2 premiere i went to alone, at like 3pm (it was def early afternoon but not sure when) with just like 5 other people in the room (moms with kids) and how everyone left before the credits ended and i was sitting there Gripping the fuck out of the seat in front of me after the whole movie and then seeing post creds shadow i yelled (quietly) (sorry to the staff guy coming in to clean) it was the best movie experience ive ever had cant believe its been almost 2 years now

also the very next day i went to see it again with a friend to show him what the fuck i just saw and also make sure what i saw was actually real and not a daydream

[johndonneswife]

someone really should be talking about how difficult it is to plan a wedding - a gay wedding - when both of your families fucking suck

Having no knowledge other than having watched this campaign + 4SD + various con panels and speaking "above the table" here, I think it's fairly obvious that Marisha wants to lean into a) Delilah, and where that will lead for Laudna, and b) some degree of conflict in the Imogen/Laudna relationship. Not that they don't love each other deeply, but that there are definitely fault lines there that she wants to explore.

On the other hand, Laura "I can fix them" Bailey is not ready to give up her third campaign wedding without a fight.

And I love this??? This is great. This is awesome. Let them fight. I am having the time of my life.

shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. then copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals <3

Oo, this looks fun! So shuffling my Favorites playlist (which happens to have all my favorited songs on it) gives me:

Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance

Lavender by Avantasia

War of Change by Thousand Foot Krutch

The End of All Things by Panic at the Disco

Luck by American Authors

Have I mentioned my music taste is eclectic? Surprised there's no Fall Out Boy, but the playlist does have 125 songs on it. So that's a lot of music to shuffle through.

Today’s invasive 911ls thought of the day is: will Enzo be at the wedding with Jonah or will the writers think up some crazy reason as to why they aren’t so they don’t have to cast someone as Enzo?

Based off history, I’m going to make a guess and say it will be the latter but I’m really hoping I’m wrong. I wanna see Enzo there showing support for TK and Carlos… I also wanna see Enzo and Owen trading insults and side eyes ngl.

Similar thought: how many of Carlos’ relatives are they going to cast and give actual names/introductions to? Again my expectations are low but my hopes are high for at least a few!

I would like to thank The Morning Show for feeding the millennial sapphics who always thought Elle Woods should have been with the intimidating brunette woman, I feel seen & heard 😌🙏

vent under the cut

no but. i want to make art. it has been so fucking long since i actually finished a drawing. i want to write too, in fact i have a whole goddamn story in my head that i’ve been working on for over four years that’s almost finished and i haven’t written a single fucking thing for it. i have a blog for writing specifically and i’ve posted maybe three things on it total bc i just don’t have the time. all because school and now work have taken up all my energy and i’m constantly on 1% battery. it used to be that summer was when my art block disappeared and i was free to create and express myself but now? i go back to school in less than two weeks and i’ve only finished one drawing at the beginning of june and that’s it. all the rest are sketches or if they’re lucky half finished line art. i was supposed to have a whole sketchbook filled for one of my art classes but i still haven’t done anything for it because work is fucking killing me. any time i go in i have horrible anxiety fill my chest because i know that it’s gonna suck and that i’m gonna be in horrible pain afterwards and only have $11.75/hr to show for it. i’m this fucking close to quitting bc it’s honestly a really shitty job with unsafe conditions for a place where minors can work and with entitled upper middle class customers who think they own you bc they pay $22 for a carwash.
