rambly tlou thoughts
so ik this isn't like. totally a fandom blog idk if anyone will see this or if it'll vanish whatever but oh well
it has hit me, in no small part bc I had to explain to one of my roommates who was watching w/ me pieces of frank figuring bill out in ep 3 leading up to them getting together (and vice versa) (but mostly said roommate literally jumped in his seat at the kiss bc he didn't see it coming, it was hilarious. but anyway. I been thinking about them A Lot) the stellar tv version tlou hbo gave us kept them poised so much more as equals in a relationship than so much media ever does, tv, movies, etc.
(not that tlou has ever really not gone for that for its main relationships but that's a whole other post; for a while joel's a shot-caller, but he's not the only one involved, ellie, tess, tommy, etc hold their own, so on. again, anyway.)
but even to the end they made for the show - that choice starts w the premise that frank's illness has progressed too far for him and taken too much of his functioning ability; this time, he's the one prepped for facing the end, albeit via a rather charming plan. it's bill, who had never wanted friends or visiting bums, but had gotten caught up in attachment, in being seen, loved, loving, whose immediate reaction is to resist, refuse to help with the suicide, in the hope of finding eventual medical help, even if that hadn't existed before the pandemic.
but as they do, at least in this version, they even out and come to something like a middle - which, very amusingly to me (and yes, frank, very romantically), has bill evaluate the couple of things that mean basically anything to him, and decide that if frank's gonna go out, he's gotten a long enough life to make it both of them. and I know their reasons are different but it's genuinely very funny to me that frank is so taken aback when bill also drinks the wine like. when has this man of yours done anything by halves, sir? mister whole ass electric fence town with his I was never afraid before you showed up and you were just gonna leave earth in his arms and he was gonna be chill about it? sure. right. no, my man, he was gonna tell the people he begrudgingly thinks are decent or better to do their best to keep kicking ass n then follow you wherever God declares lmao. as with 9/10 other moments featuring y'all, it features y'all being stubborn af, which is exactly how you made it to old age in a panini in the first place. history rhymes all over.
(so cheers to that too 🍷 - cause whatever timeline we're in, you know the gays are gonna be stubborn.)

So it was established in the last episode that Taylor still believes in Santa (tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it's come up prior to this ep too but anyways-) so... Do you think (saint) Nicky been has portalling in every year since the betrayal to sneak in a gift for his son amongst the pile? That Cassandra doesn't even notice because it's just one among the many many presents she herself has bought and wrapped? But every year without fail... Taylor gets one gift that simply says "from: Nick" and well, obviously that has to mean it's from Santa (a conclusion which Nicky expects him to come to, and why he can sign his name at all, though he misses when he could just write "dad"). And one year when he's still quite young, a sleepy little Taylor actually catches Nicky in the act, and Nicky wishes more than anything that he could just *stay*, but instead he only softly tells Taylor to go back to bed, and Taylor thinks that Santa is a lot younger and a bit sadder than he expected, but what's he gonna do- not listen to Santa Claus? So he smiles meekly at the man he does not know to be his father, and hurriedly heads back to his room.
Also yes of course Nicky eats the fucking cookies left out of course he's not gonna pass up on free cookies (which are home-baked to top it off) come on that's a given.

i think its weird that i have to make this disclaimer but the internet is crazy so wtvr,, anyway,,
if i say i dont like something, that doesnt mean "that thing is bad and nobody should post it.."
i swear literally every time i even mention that i dislike something, people will go "wow does that mean u fucking hate me cuz i post that thing? ur a fucking stupid bitch and all ur opinions r wrong" LIKE ?? er.. no. just because i say i dont like certain characterizations of certain characters (the saiki k fandom is CRAZY about this cuz i can state an opinion on literally any character and a group of people will still go 'well only we're allowed to post our opinions about them because we're always right!1!1!'), or certain ship tropes (mentioned my hatred of toxic yaoi maybe once or twice on here months ago and people STILL get mad at me as if i said toxic yaoi lovers r evil or something), or certain ships, or WHATEVER, does not mean that i HATE the people who are posting them or that i think they shouldnt post them at all, NO, im just posting about my personal tastes on my personal blog and it would be extremely weird and hypocritical if i decided that i was the ONLY person that was allowed to do that,,
i think the only reason people assume that is because there are a lot of other people on here who ARE like that, and a lot of people toe the line between posting that they dont like something and posting that they think everyone who likes that thing is stupid, annoying, and wrong,, so i guess all i can say is, sorry for whatever made you make these assumptions but they arent true about me so plz leave me alone ʘ‿ʘ ur doing the same thing to me that ur accusing me of but i didnt do it in the first place so ur just actively being a dick for no reason

you’re really defending a “county” that murdered thousands of children?? it’s not about antisemitism it’s literally just basic human decency and empathy. You’re not helping the jewish community, you’re a shame.
1. i’ve quite literally not mentioned israel in almost any of my original posts. you don’t know my stance on the conflict, but you DO know my opinions on antisemitism. so perhaps sending me this ask on anon is… how you say… antisemitic?
2. this is blood libel. hope this helps!
3. if talking about antisemitism and pointing out the double standards and dehumanization in how israel, israelis and jews are treated makes me a shame to the jewish community, then i hope to be the biggest shame in the world. also, who the fuck are you to tell me i’m a shame to my community? are you jewish? come off anon and tell me directly what you think of me and my community.
4. and for the record, i will never blindly defend any country or government entity but i will always defend the right for jews to exist and have autonomy in their homeland. cope!

y'all can all cancel me (again) for this, but if there's even a SHRED of 'who should I pick?' from Penelope in season 3, I am tuning out SO fast because like. . .sorry not sorry, there IS no choice. Debling is some crusty OC suitor she barely even knows and Colin is a man who she has been so supposedly in love with to the point where she'd ruin her entire family's reputation to have a potential love story with him. Penelope and Colin have background, years of knowing each other, intimacy that few people in the Ton can boast of having (letters, conversations about purpose, fights and arguments and makeups) and her and Debling have. . .a dance or two at a ball because he's a rebound for Penelope's broken heart. he means nothing. he has no nuance, he has no weight to the story, he is such an afterthought to me. either I wanna see Penelope going 'you know what? I don't even LIKE this dude. he's. . .fine, but I don't care about him even a shred as much as I care about Colin' or the INSTANT Colin's like 'you know what? we should get married' if it's not an immediate 'say less, you're already my husband, try returning me without the receipt, Debling whomst?' then I don't want it!
like. . .it's just so frustrating to see all the 'I hope Debling sweeps her off her feet and she rejects Colin's proposal and she makes him work for it and and and-' nonsense from the fandom and it's always tagged and no matter how many times I block it, it just keeps popping up. I go into the Polin tag for POLIN. I don't give a SHIT about a male love interest other than Colin. Not one. Not a shred. Not an iota.
and also. . .Debling has the 'benefit' of not having depth, or character traits, or HISTORY, so peeps can project onto him however they want, but I'm calling it now, there is NOTHING he could do or be that would make me like him more than Colin. Colin will always hit different, and I will always love him more. and if Pen's not on that same page? lol bye
you want me to believe Penelope and Colin are soulmates and it's romance for her to hem and haw about how difficult a decision it is for her to marry a stranger who knows barely anything about her. . .
when Marina was out here dropping banger lines like 'You were the only man with which I could see myself being happy' and 'I do not care about any of these men, where is Colin?'? like hello??? and she wasn't even fully in love with him!!!! but we'll demonize her until the cows come home in our fandom and make her the villain in Polin's love story for DARING to get in between Polin, yet Debling, a white man, is a darling dear perfect prince for getting in between Polin? existing in our fandom solely so Penelope can be like 'lol, Colin ain't shit, let me entertain any and everyone else'?
if that's the direction it goes then, ten toes down and on my mama, she doesn't deserve Colin and she can move because I'm on my way to court him my damn self
and that's that on that

Do not question the logistics of the planetary system :) Also yes, Pluto is a planet TO ME. And I came up w these when I was a lot younger, so don't question them :)
Also idk if this factors into one's choice here, but each planet is ruled by a god(dess.) Maybe I should make a poll about their ruling styles one day lol
I'd say "please reblog" but this is very niche so! But if so, please explain your choice, I'm curious! Or comment
+ examples of some under the cut:
Lol a lot of this is older, don't judge :) And I also don't have ocs from every planet unfortunately </3 hopefully one day!
Mercury:
Venus:
Saturn:
Uranus:
Neptune:
(lol can you tell I have a favorite planet, I think prob at least 50% of my ocs are from here)
Pluto:
Unwanted:
(these are actually my oldest ocs that I still use, and I had to rework them to fit into my au thus: unwanted. Very important lore tbh.)
