#im laughing as we speak

[notrightgrayson]

I love that point of being tired where everything is funny. I just laughed at just an innocuous mention of dead parents. The line in the fic was not a joke in the slightest I just saw "dead parents" and fucking lost it

starlight strings au; on one hand its so funny if they were all named numbers, on the other hand it would be So Incredibly Funny if they were ALL named John Smith, legally. Including thirteen. we've got at least 6 John Smiths at this residence.

maybe thats why they go by numbers. they are counting the john smiths that live there.

this is the funniest fucking thing ever

all hate to tiktok for taking 'having a space to more openly and actively talk about different cultures' to mean 'cultures are NOT to be shared and we must be vigilantly defensive of our cultures for fear of appropriation, a word that can be applied to any multicultural interaction'. like of course cultural appropriation is a very real problem but ive seen with the access to global multicultural conversation that tiktok provides it's made people TERRIFIED to even interact with cultures other than their own for fear of 'doing it wrong'. like at some point you have to acknowledge that in the real world of the great outdoors, the majority of people are eager to SHARE their cultures. yes there are ignorant questions and biases but also... how do you think those things get unlearnt? i dont understand how deciding that multiculturalism is an elephant in the room instead of a normal thing that should just be talked about and lived with is supposed to benefit anyone? and kids on tiktok are CONVINCED that it's a time bomb of a conversation to have and therefore must be avoided at all costs but like. people generally LOVE their home and their culture and are PROUD of it and want to share it. how have we made it so that showing genuine interest and a desire to understand something so integral to a person's identity is now feared and borderline demonised?

omg the people in the comments section of esteban's interview need to 1) work on their comprehension skills 2) watch literally any other interview where esteban expresses his gratitude for whatever team he's working with and most importantly 3) TOUCH SOME GRASS

lmao honestly at this point i just try my best to laugh it off. not seeing esteban's greatness is a skill issue imo. in general, the mantra i'm trying to adopt for seeing hate against things i love is 'why should i go out of my way to give vision for those who refuse to see?'

Imma be real the hate Ocon gets is on an insane level to me like I've never seen anything like this in any other fandom let alone for a real fucking person. People just do not shut up about him. He could say 'hi my name is Esteban' and people would hate on him. People willfully misinterpret everything he says every single time he opens his mouth. Every fan of this sport understands that it's a rich person's sport and nepotism is everywhere and yet the moment the one driver who was not upper or middle class as a child speaks out about it they act like they don't know that about the sport. People in the comments straight up saying 'oh wow he didn't go skiing as a kid well me either' THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT YOU IDIOT HE IS MORE LIKE US THAN THE REST OF THE KIDS IN KARTING WHO HAD THE MONEY TO DO THAT!!

it honestly frustrates me when i see people reduce the ericsons cast down to "just some teens in the woods" acting like theyre no different than any other group of lone teenagers from other existing properties and treating them like an overused trope

it is sooo important to acknowledge the "troubled youth" aspect of the whole equation. theyre not just some random teens in the woods clem stumbles across. these kids were abandoned by their families for their various "difficulties" and fucked up by The System before the outbreak even began. and then once zombies started roaming the streets their familes never came back for them and the adults that were in charge of taking care of them just left them there to rot in that old boarding school (except for ms martin who was like their lee 🥺 the only person who ever saw them as the scared traumatized kids they were and died protecting them)

the whole aspect of them already being fucked up by the adults that controlled their lives is like.....kind of important when discussing the whole "delta is stealing kids to force them to fight in a war they have no real part in and want nothing to do with" aspect of the season. and its important when comparing them to clem and her journey of also suffering at the hands of the adults around her forcing her to become self reliant. AND its important when discussing the "just trying to build a safe home (and future) worth fighting for in this world that wants them dead" aspect of the season as well

these kids were forced to come together to survive. and a Lot of them didnt... theyre the only family they have left and you can tell that even when they argue with each other theyre still a close knit group who looks out for each other. theyre a Real family before clem even gets there (and its why what really happened with the twins and brody and marlon hits them all so especially hard)

all of this is what REALLY makes ericsons such a perfect home for clem. its a Real community of her True peers. theyre not Just teens. they mightve had a layer of safety clem never had by at least having walls to keep them safe. and having the benefit of the school being hard to find. its the only reason theyre still alive when clem shows up. but theyre also some of the only people who can Truly understand where clem and aj are coming from. and its why it hurts so much when they vote to kick them out. but its also partially why she merges back into the fold so easily when she returns. plus the fact that shes Really the only one who has any idea what shes doing. shes their rock and she makes them feel safe because underneath it all theyre still just those scared traumatized kids ("EVERYONE is scared, clem..." vi was Definitely including herself in that 'everyone'), and on some level, so is clem

they saved clementines life. and she saved theirs. "the school was supposed to help them with their trauma, now they help each other" its about the LOVE the COMMUNITY the SUPPORT!!!! and thats the shit that makes good zombie media honestly 👌

NEVER go to a Christmas party hosted by the Milgram prisoners. I've been eating rats and doves and grubs and organs and mountain dew and cigarettes and raw fish and leaves. I could say no but I'm hungry and they're so polite about it.
