I need Yellowjackets to come back because I’m running out of insane things to say about it

[livrere-green]

the fact that charles was so gentle and sincere with his answer to edwin's confession is something I could never forget... because that's what love is about, right?

love is in the way charles could never hurt edwin on purpose, is in the way he protects him, in the way he knows when edwin needs to be seen; love is in the choice of every one of his words, in the way he knows that being honest is the only right answer.

there's still forever waiting for them, there's still forever waiting for charles to figure it out, to discover if he loves edwin in a romantic way too, and it doesn't matter if is not romantic in the end, because that it's just a side of the love they share.

i think is so important not to overlook something like that, not to let that pending romance overshadow the fact that they already love each other in every other way.

because in the end, we are talking about two boys that have experienced excruciating pain, that have seen horrifying things during all their existences, and in spite of it, or maybe because of it, are capable of loving each other in a way that's so pure and strong and relentless...

reducing the importance of it to a reciprocated romantic love seems so simplistic and inconsiderate to me.

[livsmessydoodles]

thinking about this scene today

this scene alone convinces me that byler is endgame bc you cannot make will actively say that hes not gonna fall in love and then write a whole plotline abt him being in love with mike.... just for it to not be reciprocated???

will is the only party member who's completely unexperienced with romantic relationships, which of course has to do with the fact that he's gay in the 80's, but this is a TV show. all of this is fictional so they can take whatever route they want with these characters, and making will continue to stay alone and suffer through unrequited love would be awful storytelling, especially when people claim that will moving on from his feelings would bring character development and growth.

wills feelings for mike arent there just to "show his growth". weve seen this kid go through hell and back yet even with everything kicking him down he stays strong and kind. hes the most selfless character in the show and always puts others needs before his own. in s4, they put a lot of emphasis in these character traits of his, and they're always picturing his love for mike as something selfless and pure.

now if his feelings are not reciprocated, how does this teach will a lesson that leads to character growth?? he already doesn't expect anything. life has shown him time and time again that he always gets the short end of the stick, why would he think this is any different?? making him have feelings for his best friend just to get rejected would just be a nail in the coffin, reaffirming to him that no matter what hes not worthy of ever getting what he wishes. this isnt character growth at all.

but if his feelings ARE requited, that gives us a twist to the story we havent seen. we would get to see actual growth for will, him learning to give himself value and realize that he DOES deserve happiness!! instead of leading into the expected spiral of bad things keeping up the consistency with everything else that has happened to will so far, finally giving him one good thing leads to us seeing a shift in his whole nature, and wed see him dealing with things he hasnt dealt with before!!! GROWTH!!!

besides why would they make such an intricate complicated storyline.... just to lead to a rejection we all saw coming? the GA expects him to get rejected. his feelings not being reciprocated would not be any surprise. but twisting those expectations in a way to shock the GA AND give wills character the happiness he so deserves after being through so much..... now THAT would be world shattering and a satisfying ending to both the viewers and will himself!!

this scene establishes a clear subversion trope, making us aware of how will believes he's never finding love, just for the show to later on subvert expectations and reward will with the love he deserves and never thought hed get🫶

Pretty tiresome to repeat this, but before you comment on my gifsets that are purely meant for fun saying woah are you aware you're celebrating a rapist? Could you please take a moment to try to grasp he's fictional? And that we're celebrating Tom Glynn-Carney and not his character's actions? *very tired noises*

the ominous aye Kenji I was talking about in Heidi’s last stream.

(I don’t have the video it comes from. This is a screenshot from the one year of jwcc/dinotwt recap video)

Context: During the wait between the early seasons, dinotwt all of a sudden watched this kid vampire movie that was based on a book. There’s a scene where the main character was getting tossed into a lake. Someone took a screenshot of said scene and put this Aye Kenji variant in the background. The video would slowly zoom in on the Aye Kenji while the beginning of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” plays quietly.

I HATE to be that guy but the LivDom storyline honestly ruined whatever interest I had in the judgment day. TJD has to be one of my favorite factions, has been since they formed. I've followed them since it was just Edge and Damien. They were always the people I rooted for but unfortunately the storyline with Liv has completely turned me off of them. It's kinda like when you're having a really good soup but then you get a crunch. That's how I feel about TJD at the moment.

Idk, maybe I'm just autistic 🤪

Just a random ramble about a very specific stony thing that I think about waaaay to offten. I wanted to share the brain rot so here 😘

Tony is clearly very well groomed and probably is very into manscaping I feel (like I could see him even waxing down there for the thrill of it). He's also used to sleeping with women who are high society red carpet starlet types, so most likely very limited in the pubic hair area because America is weird about that.

Steve is from the 40s..... women shaving down there started growing in popularity because of bikinis and PlayBoy becoming more popular and mainstream (and that was in the later 40s). Anyway, it was not a common thing for guys. So Steve doesn't think about it. He does not care. He just has au natural full bush going on.

They sleep together for the first time, and Tony is kind of....suprised (like damn Steve welcome to the jungle much 😳) but he doesn't say anything of course because Tony's not an ass and is very open minded with sex.

Fast forward a few months when they are more comfortable with each other. One day, in just completely casual conversation like over breakfast or something, Tony's just like, "soooo.... have you ever heard of manscaping???"

GUESS WHOS GETTING A FUCKING LETTER FROM THEIR ONLINE FRIEND AND NOW PENPAL

‘the truth is out there... but so are lies’ is honestly, to me, the most impactful moment of the entire x files series, and definitely the most impactful in terms of the quest. because mulder wants to believe so badly - he’d trust anyone, listen to anyone, follow any lead - though ‘you make me a whole person’ is a romantic overture, it also represents how mulder is only half of the investigative team. he wants the truth by searching for the truth. scully, on the other hand, tries to find the truth by searching for the lie. the lies that mulder has been told, the lies of everyone who isn’t mulder, the one person she trusts. the government’s lies. diana’s lies. and the way he stops, listens to her, and says ‘thank you’ before doing what he’s going to do anyways? i think you could read that response as flippant, but to me it’s genuine. he says thank you because he’s not going to change. his stubbornness and willingness to believe in spite of everything and everyone against him is his best and worst trait. he’s going to do what he does, especially this early in the series, no matter what scully says. but he’s going to listen. he’s going to thank her for looking for deception, because it’s not just discovering the truth that will move them forward - it’s also discovering the lies. 

narratively, i love that scully says this in s1. i think this is something that it takes the whole original series to really sink in for mulder. that the more they search, the more murky things are instead of clearer. you can sink your entire life into this impenetrable mask of truths and lies. but the truths and lies out there might be bigger but will never be as meaningful, as mulder finally realizes in s8, as the truth they both know. anyways tldr frank spotniz was right

i found this cow gif while searching for another gif and honestly became a lil obsessed with it and now i curse my friends with it every time they link me new music

[liv45no]

Ok but what if Richie and Eddie are so close to kiss when Richie suddenly whispers, “Eds, your mom wouldn’t approve” and Eddie replies with, “I’ll chance it” what then

[livrere-green]

The thing about The Who pin Charles has and that just makes me giggle every damn time is that I have one too but because I got obsessed with The Who because of CSI when I was like ten (and the past fixation came back when I saw that damn pin).
