#i’ve connected some dots-

[cyzuutan2nd]

i think the type of trope i’m into is very obvious- uhhh

[st-hedge]

It wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card that I’d draw V again. Anyway I’ll go ahead ramble in the tags

[titsthedamnseason]

why does “God” talk to zane. im scared

[alluralater]

i been thinkin lately about why a lot of people i’ve been with end up coming out as nonbinary or are nonbinary and sometimes people are like what’s your gender and i’m like [shrug] i’m a woman, whatever that means :) cause it’s all generally defined by my experience and oppression opposite those who are classified as men, whatever that means. and i tend to have great big feelings for nonbinary people because we always feel so incredibly safe with one another. like they are the nearest and dearest to my heart for some reason even before i know they are or they know they are. anyways all this to say, i don’t really care what you call me or whatever cause gender is a construct and i’m not bob the builder

[abnormalpsychology]

Hear me out. Brad and Janet, and Tom and Shiv— two failmarriages who may have more in common than you’d think:

inversion / parody of gender roles hetero romance

they are trying SOOOOOOO hard to be a normal married couple and it is just Not Working Out

very very hot sex symbol girlboss woman obsessed with another more powerful guy (Logan, Frank) and extremely unreliable but sometimes present sense of self-awareness and craves independence

dorky asshole malewife bottom trying desperately not to be a malewife as hard as he can for the entire media but yet the malewife genes overcome his efforts valiantly again and again and aGAIN

they cheat on each other a bunch of times (but they don't mean it guyssss 😩)

YES. they cheat on each other. BUT it's made known to the audience that they feel really bad abt it Imao

a premature WEIRD proposal done in a close-proximity-to-death situation yet they’re still like “okay 😊!” like would you rather I propose to you in the hospital while your dad is in intensive care from his brain hemorrhage OR in a graveyard after another person’s wedding while a funeral goes on right next to us featuring a suspiciously child-sized casket? romance central am I right

dedicated loving relationship struggling to survive in a crazy environment that is directly corrosive to dedicated loving relationships

horrible communication where the lack of communication in their marriage is kind of essential to the plot in and of itself

a threesome kinda happens in canon (more an orgy. this is abt rhps obviously) vs they almost had a threesome and then didnt... basically a threesome could've fixed all of them

"yes I cheated on you. Yes I still love you and would protect you as best I can in a traumatizing situation where a key extremely complex and kinda shitty person we both kinda love dies in front of us. We exist."

protection motif is a huge thing for both of them and in the end it's pretty clear that delusion is really what's actually been protecting them

most importantly: getting into marriage and being like "wow bitch!!! you are not who I thought you were"

they both end up in this really subjective completely destroyed irrevocably changed and entirely mortifyingly known position in their relationship like "who knows if we even love each other anymore"

"lol we both betrayed the other's trust beyond repair. does the love matter anymore lol Imao"

way too many people rightfully think there's no way to work their issues out but I am so delusional I don't give a shit <3

married couple that gets pitted against each other and have all these reasons to hate each other but you can tell that all of the love can’t be gone and like the evolution somehow emphasizes the love that was there before = PEAK ROMANCE. TO ME

[justsomeguycore]

sometimes i think about how wake screamed gideon gideon gideon and mercymorn yelled alecto alecto alecto at john

[couldbebetterforsure]

In all the posts I’ve made for Jack Jeanne I know I haven’t spoken about Tsuki (Kisa’s currently MIA older brother who was the former big star at Univeil), and the game itself has surprisingly not given me much to work with yet. Maybe in another route or something? But I will say….there is one (stupid very stupid like holy shit this is crack territory and mostly a silly joke theory but also kinda sorta maybe makes some sense in a weird way?????) thought I have regarding Tsuki…

Idk y’all it just feels like things were very Not Good based on all the imagery we have so far for TTPD… idk idk idk I have a bad feeling and I don’t wanna be totally baseless but like……………. It seems bad!!!

[chaosaroundthedoctor]

in honor of me abt to watch one of the most infamous episodes, here’s a fun fact: so I’ve heard and seen stuff abt “the c-word” and I’m gonna be honest. i thought for a While that it meant cunt and Not cancer. probably sometime s5 I made that realization

[creative-time]

Okay so recently the lost media community found the lost SpongeBob got milk commercial

So that commercial aperantly aired in February 2001.

And the kingdom hearts tv pilot’s animatic was also recently found and that came out in 2003

The dhmis pilot was presumably finished in 2018 but was only shown to the public in 2019. And its 2022 now

So if I did my math right:

Someone will find the dhmis pilot sometime near the year 2038

The more I think about, the more I think that Karen has a chance of being Alice Creel. Even just looking at how she’s shot in the show, it’s not hard to argue that she’s more important than a lot of other characters. She’s given an entire character arc in season three. That doesn’t happen to one dimensional characters used to fill a space in the main characters story. And somehow she’s always dressed in some form of pink and blue, which represent forced conformity. The Snow Ball where everyone was dressed in pink and blue, the end of season four (im 100% serious about this I just haven’t gotten to it in my lighting analysis/mike Will and El season four analysis yet), Nancy when she was with Steve: all of these things are connected to that theme and have characters wearing pink and blue. Or purple, but that’s just pink and blue together.

And Karen doesn’t agree with her husband’s opinions. The way she treats Mike in season one shows that she knows something. She might not know what’s going on exactly, but she knows enough to tell him that he can always talk to her. When Ted says, “you see what happens?” Karen knows exactly why Mike leaves the table. She herself leaves the table soon after. Because even though her kids don’t tell her anything, she’s not oblivious. Her thoughts are written on her face and we are meant to see them.

And I know I’m just rambling here and spinning her around in my head but. I just went through the first three episodes of season one (high speed scrubbing because I needed pictures) and Karen’s in all three of them. And the way Karen’s shot in those three episodes is drastically different than Ted. She’s being shot like Mike and Nancy are. When they’re sitting around the table talking, we are seeing Mike, Nancy, and Karen. And Holly (but she’s two. So. Not much to glean from that except that she’s important and very confused why everyone’s so tense).

There is no reason to write a three dimensional character if they’re not important to the plot. Ted isn’t a three dimensional character, and neither is Dustin’s mom, or Lucas’s parents, or anyone else that’s in the same category as Karen is. We are looking at her for a reason.

And I’m not saying that she’s 100% Alice Creel, because really I can’t say anything for certain. But. She is important. And not in the way that she’s a representation of something else, or a placeholder, or a tool for the main characters. She’s her own character. Something is going to directly affect her because her actions are important to the story. And they’re important to the story, because she is. And I would very much like to know why.

Fireteam Phoenix is defined by gain. They’re the heroes of the City, the ones everyone looks to. They gain each other over the course of the Destiny timeline, they gain people they can call a family, they gain fame and adoration, they gain love. At the same time it’s precarious up on that pedestal. None of them are perfect and they all have parts of themselves, their histories, they would much rather hide away in the shadows where no one can find them. Of course, with connection and familial bonds comes inherent trust and emotional intimacy, but even then it takes time and outside forces to get them to acknowledge their deep-seated trauma and admit their imperfections to teammates they’re supposed to work perfectly in-sync with at all times, as per the public’s perception of them.

Conversely, and all the same, Fireteam Buckaroos is defined by loss. Not just physical, like in the way of Kelli’s prosthetic arm or Devon’s scarring. The loss of agency, of self-worth, of identity, of free will, of connection. At the same time it’s lonely down in those depths. None of them truly want to be alone to shoulder this pain, as much as any of them would say otherwise as is the instinctual norm when dealing with communal creatures such as humanity all of them still yearn for and cherish that one bit of connection they end up having with each other. Of course, it’s much easier to acknowledge this with self-deprecating sarcasm and jokes at their own expenses than admit to a non-ironic vulnerable state of emotional openness with others they believe function the exact same ways as they do (and in some ways, they’re right).

Idk how to end this. Something something light and darkness coming together something something “we’re not so different, you and I”

thinking about harrowing moments from my past as one does after midnight. so when i was in high school i had a huge crush on this girl who was adjacent to my friend group and her girlfriend was a year above us. anyway we were all doing the school musical unfortunately and this was the only time i interacted with the girlfriend because we were in different years and had no classes together. since we had the same friend group we’d all hang out backstage and everyone would talk about how cute their relationship was and i HATED it. but since i had zero clue i was gay i would literally sit there every afternoon for three hours like wow. i really thought i’d unlearned all my toxic internalized homophobia :/ i’m a terrible person i need to be a better ally this is so fucked up 😞
