"Miguel isn't racist!" "Gwen isn't racist!" No shit, Sherlock. Most people aren't actually saying that, at least not in the literal sense. The argument is that the things that happen to Miles textually in the film parallel the real-life experiences of Black children having to navigate predominantly white or otherwise non-black spaces. This gives a double meaning to a lot of the way he is treated by Spider Society. If you don't know how to read racial subtext into a film that makes so many specific cultural references and even pokes fun at the racism embedded into academia for a good chunk of the beginning, I don't know what to tell you. Don't try to argue with folks about shit that you don't have the range to discuss š¤·š¾āāļø

Antis who love to use the excuse of what happened between Anakin and PadmĆ© in ROTS (not the force choke š) as proof that theyāre not ācompatibleā because PadmĆ© was against Palpatine and Anakin clearly wasnāt, think theyāre real smart, lol. This argument canāt be further from the truth and thatās because, Anakin wasnāt against Palpatine, not just because he was being influenced by him towards the darkside, but also because he truly believed in the āgood manā he always thought he was. If it also werenāt for the Jedi Councilās mistrust of Anakin and the poison being fed to him by Palps himself being added to Anakinās already clouded perception then thereās no doubt he wouldāve at least seen a glimpse of what others were seeing too. To Anakin, the Jedi were technically committing treason by asking him to āspyā on Palpatine, and this only added to Anakinās confusion of whatās right and wrong. However, the moment and I mean the exact moment where Anakin discovers Sidious for being the Sith Lord, he immediately switched up on him.
If it wasnāt because Anakin was having nightmares about PadmĆ© dying in childbirth with Palps being his only way to save her, he wouldnāt have thought a second about saving Palpatine or going to help him. At that point, he wouldāve teamed up with the Jedi, AND PadmĆ©, and the rebellion towards maintaining peace and justice within the galaxy. Anakin and PadmĆ©ā views donāt much clash, they have the same set of morals, sense of justice, and strive for peace. They just believe in different methods. But this wasnāt enough to lead them apart, because other than the one time in ROTS which people love to use as an argument against Anidala saying it makes them āincompatibleā, thereās literally never a time where they both donāt support one another in what theyāre doing and what they believe in. They both trust one another and Anakin says as much in Queenās Shadow (I know thatās Disney canon, but I felt like itās worth the mention.)
Bottom line is: that it was circumstances and other outward factors that put Anakin and PadmĆ© on opposite sides. Not because of who they were as people. If Sidious wasnāt hung up on getting his claws into Anakin, thereās no doubt that heād 110% support PadmĆ©, the Jedi, and the rebellion against Palpatine. So no, whatever went down here doesnāt at all make them āincompatibleā š¤·š¾āāļø

the thing i don't get about people saying the BT daddy joke is realistic to how queer men talk to each other, is like yes that's true but also why did buck & tommy never touch each other once in the last two episodes. i am a mere woman myself but i assume queer men who are dating and make daddy kink jokes don't generally keep a couple feet of space between them at all times unless they're kissing
yeah i think that's something that's missing in the discourse too aside from the fact that the scene was certainly not written by Queer Men. the joke itself is completely unearned because we literally have had ZERO other indication of intimacy, so it was jarring to have this "hey these guys have sex!" reminder when there's been no investment in showing that they like each other otherwise, including IN THAT SCENE?
and i'm going off on a tangent since you opened it up but. i mean come on, the biggest complaint doesn't seem to be that they made the joke at all but that they made it in that particular context. like, the problem is that you get the sense, when you're watching the scene, that tommy doesn't actually understand the scope of what it is he's making a sex joke at the expense of, because he doesn't! because he diverted the conversation when they could have talked about it! and you're just left with the daddy kink and nothing else, which... doesn't really have anything to do with how queer men talk.
also this is why i think it's funny that from both ends it's been like "you'd be fine if eddie made that joke!" vs "eddie would never make that joke!" because counterpoint? obviously that exact joke wouldn't work, but i actually do think that if buck opened the door to it, eddie could theoretically make a sex joke about buck's daddy issues and it would land fine because eddie is eddie and both buck and eddie have treated the issue of their families with the appropriate levity/gravity in the past š¤·š¾āāļøš¤·š¾āāļøš¤·š¾āāļø

I think I finally get the Mononoke: Noppera-bo arc. I think I got it. (I've watched this series like 6 times in English and 6 in Japanese,,,, could it be insanity? š)
No, I don't think the Mononoke is Kusuriuri in disguise, and no I don't think Kusuriuri loved Ocho. The Noppera-bo are faceless yokai who are known to steal faces and cause tricks. They also can be Tanuki or Kitsune in disguise (could that mean Kusuriuri can be a Noppera-bo? Maybe that's how he knew to dispel all those tricks). This Mononoke could just also happen to be another nameless Tanuki or Kitsune. š¤·š¾āāļø
Regardless of all that, Ocho obviously killed every desire she had and thus those desires were her different faces, in which created the Noppera-bo that fed off the pain of her sacrifices. She wanted to be a good daughter for her mother so she killed her playful side, she wanted to be a good wife so she killed her disobedient side. She sacrificed herself. She sacrificed her many faces.
And we've all been there. We gave up so many pieces of ourselves and gave up energy to keep the status quo in some way, form, or shape (reason and truth!!!). And it's so easy to hide away from reality and picture the "what ifs" if we kept to our honest selves or jumped into our impulsive/intrusive thoughts. And Ocho had done the same thing.
She is literally feeding her own negative thoughts by picturing what would happen if she decided to kill them all. Or if she stayed in her prison some faceless man (the Noppera-bo) will come and save her and build her a palace and love her despite the flaws. Like literally, the scene where they get "married" and all the masks are soooo jealous?? Like c'mon... That's Tumblr girlie sleepytime scenarios 101.
The Noppera-bo fed into her delusions, for lack of a better word. For her trial was fake in my honest interpretation. The trial was a metaphor for her final face. If she killed her final self, the self she had now, the obedient, selfless, demure Ocho, she would lose her identity once and for all. Who would she be after? Her face would have been stolen, and the Noppera-bo would have succeeded in stealing her, keeping her trapped in the prison she thought a palace.
Not to mention, ALL of this is happening in her mind. She is technically still in reality, picking up the broken sake bottle. And in order for the Noppera-bo to lose, Kusuriuri must bring Ocho back to reality and force her to remember her self worth, to remember her main face. The Ocho Kusuriuri kills in the end is the one that keeps her trapped in her daydream, the one that wonders why the Noppera-bo loved her, the one that wonders what her life would be like rather than the one who goes and does it.
I also wanna say that the Noppera-bo, the faceless man that would do anything for Ocho, is Ocho. Ocho is the Mononoke. I mean obviously they state it in the episode, but people still think the faceless man and Ocho are two separate beings. I treat the Noppera-bo as her imagination. Like your brain will do some crazy things to protect itself from self destructing, and that basically is what the Noppera-bo was. I can say from personal experience I dived heavily into fanfiction and fantasy because I wanted to escape the horrible reality of being homeless, depressed, and suicidal.
It's so apparent in the voice lines too that Kusuriuri didn't think the Noppera-bo was helpful at all.
"Why did he save me?"
"Do you really think he saved you?"
Like just because the Noppera-bo was trying to make her happy (and just because I dove in fanfiction to vent out my frustrations) didn't mean she was saved (did not mean I had the maturity to face my demons).
I think in the end, Ocho has the guts to leave. The medicine vendor saves her from her destructive self and she goes to run away like she intended.
I hope to God this dissertation makes sense. My brain is everywhere while watching these episodes for the 7th time.

šdid Z manage to taste granny Tessās bread by now?
āunpopular opinion
LOL is this a Q&A thing anon, or something you want me to make a poll out of? I can't tell lol š
Anyway...I'll just answer to the best of my ability....
šwho broke it off? what was the reason? - I have no clue, but if I had to guess, I would say Tom did. š¤·š¾āāļø Could have been for a number of reasons. Maybe they were also busy and not able to see each other as much? Could be the H/L/D/DC was getting a bit tiresome? Maybe they were just young and needed time to grow, maybe date other people as well?
ā¤ļøwho reached out first the second time? - I would say Tom did. Especially since he was the one (I suspect) broke things off with her. Plus, we all suspect he reached out for her when she got her Emmy nod.
šengaged/ secretly married? - Oof...that's a tough one. I'll say... engarried. LOL š
šøfav pic? - Oooof! This is another tough one anon! Gosh! Are you trying to kill me?? Anyway, as crazy as this sounds, this is actually one of my favorite Tomdaya pics. They just look so peaceful together, you can literally sense the love and friendship btwn them just through a silhouette, they look like they will be like this when they're old in their 80s together lol...aaaannnd lastly, it's just a GREAT photography piece! š(I do photography)
šfav piece of tomdaya jewellery? - The piaget necklace... For many reasons lol š
šdo you believe in the plan b tea? - Yea.... I do lol š
š§¢thoughts on Zendayaās haaat story and the live? - I think I posted my thoughts about this already? š¤
šwhat was tom thinking about when he talked about the most important experience in your life that has shaped you into the person you are today, if you could say one? - No clue Anon lol! You might have to ask Tom that lol. But it obviously involved Z cuz he said so. š„°
šdid Z manage to taste granny Tessās bread by now? - Let's hope!! š
āunpopular opinion - I think fans need to chill about Tomdaya and just let life happen the way it's meant to happen. š I think the constant concern, anxiety, tracking of whereabouts, and FBI detective work is a bit overkill these days in 2024. š We know they're together, we know they're madly in love w/each other, and we can't control the past, present, or future, so let's just enjoy the ride with them....regardless of if they stay together, or break up one day. š

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
I have some things to say about Miguelās anomaly theory
Miguel keeps on getting on Miles about him ruining everything. Heās like āyou were never supposed to be Spider-Man!!ā Oh brother!!!But itās not like Miles had any control of the spider biting him.
I find it crazy how Miguel glided by the fact that he destroyed a whole universe. You did that and now you suddenly have the right to dictate what the other spider people do?? If it were me I would not be able to trust that man.
And I feel like even if his theory about the anomalies were right Miguelās situation and Miles situation are totally different.
Miguel literally took over the life of a version of him that D*ED. How do you not see something wrong w/ that. You would think you would have the common sense not to mess w that. He is from a different universe inserting himself into a new one and thatās where the problem lies.
Miles is just trying to save his dad. Now if his dad already died and he brought a dad from a different universe to replace him then I think that would be a problem, but thatās not whatās happening.
Another thing Miguel talking all this mess about Miles being the original anomaly, but if Miles was the problem shouldnāt his whole universe already be gone š¤Ø matter of fact shouldnāt it have disappeared as soon as the og Spider-Man d*ed??
Iām pretty sure this is supposed to be obvious (or maybe Iām wrong š¤·š¾āāļø) but Iāve seen to many reactions where ppl are like Miguel is right and Jeff has to d*e and Iām just like š
Anywhoā¦I might add more thoughts later but I just needed to get this off my chest so Iām not thinking about it every other day š

I didn't like the dinner scene... Or the progression of Buck's relationship.
Let's talk about it!
I've been lurking and waiting to form my full opinion (away from my buddie mind) and I will compare the two.
I came in the fandom rather late and before season 7 aired. Buddie had been the consensus ship let's say.
I want to talk about these things
Bi buck
Bi buck episode
The aftermath
The rise of tommy
The fall of tommy
Buddie and BuckTommy relationship
The wheel
As a fan and a writer I recently started doing in depth analysis for my favorite TV shows to challenge myself and learn the trade I'm eventually going to work with.
I'll start with my problem/observation with the hamsterwheel --> bucktommy relationship --> separation of Buddie --> differences between the relationship.
First the hamster wheel I truly believed that when he mentioned having to work hard and it being new and different I really expected something special.
Now as a Buddie before this happened I was like OMG its happening. All the way up until the last part of 7x04 (where i promptly blacked all the way out) and that Buck was going to work for Eddie.
In the case of the preview and marketing they did in fact put a beautiful buddie shaped blanket over the whole thing and pulled it away for a new ship.
Now it would make sense some fans would be mad. Most people have an otp. That doesn't change with anything.
Buddie was still very prominent with all the female love intrests so it became confusing to me with the response but I'll get back to that in a minute.
The kiss (which he didn't ask before and it was really sudden / can argue Buck was okay with it cause hot guy duh but still a lil mehh) was quick. It felt very hamster wheel like he's jumping into something new.
Then subsequently in the other episode called you don't know me aka the BUCK!! date where a closeted joke was made (funny in tv but not in real life).
Granted Buck could've handled it better but he literally brain melted. Your straight (?) friend catches you on your literal first date with a man in secluded past of town. Yeah I'm taking myself outside for a sec.
The Evan thing also applies. On screen we haven't gotten a denounc
ement of the name Buck and what it means. I don't know it feels like two separate lives if I think about it.
He's Evan with him but Buck with everyone else (this is very convoluted).
That name thing has been and will continue to be debated. š¤·š¾āāļø
The hamster wheel sped up expeditiously when he invited him to his sister's wedding. Right after Eddie stated he is rushing too fast.
(Which Buck also does due to āØabandonment issuesāØ)
Then the bachelor party where he didn't dress up.
I know people made real life excuses but the things is I'm a canon more than a fanon person.
(yes buddie isn't canon hypocrisy ik but WAIT)
What I mean by that is that I take what characters say and do at face value. That information forms my opinions of them.
Unfortunately there's been about 7 years and all couple parallels with Buddie so my brain was like yep, that's canon.
When Tommy was being discussed at first (and now) I'm still saying as that he's a blank sheet that the fans who've wanted Buck to be in a loving reciprocal relationship so that's being projected on him.
So that equates to him being a let's say "out of character" personality in the online space.
I said in an episode analysis that Tommy's interested and not invested and I stand by that until the show proves other wise or writes their relationship on a deeper level.
Fanon Tommy's character would've worn a costume, hell they might've been the ones matching.
Because he's that dedicated and invested.
In canon, he didn't even come up with a simple enough reason and just brished it aside.
Now once again the you don't know me and writing wise it's significant that Buck's not acknowledged as Buck, and his lover isn't allowed to call him that. They're cooking something.
Idk what it is or if it's burning or not. But it's cooking regardless.
Deep conversations. Honesty with Eddie.
Tommy. Redirection and minimization. (and a smidgen of jealousy)
I also had some qualms about the sexualization of Buck's character or the minimization or common theme of Buck being used/useful.
They make it a poetic irony that the man who failed to be useful in saving/being savior baby then be used throughout his adult life.
Whether that be a substitute/donor for his older brother, a fantasy or story for some, or a quick fling/easy relationship the writers haven't fully gotten him out of the hamster wheel.
(but they're cooking ik it. Im praying. Im hoping. Please be cooking!!)
The writing of the relationship is failing it. Unless it should be like that.
For the rest of the topics I was talking about the bi buck episode and how much it meant to TV.
As we still know, Hollywood/American TV is a global thermometer let's say and tends to be discussed/acknowledged/distributed worldwide. As a result when certain things are done in the shows it can be a milestone.
I can admit I overlooked some things (as I am an avid hunter of media especially HAPPY! queer stories being told of POC and otherwise) so I can sometimes forget how impactful/important certain things are for the American/world audience to see.
Like henren, a black lesbian couple with a kid! Married! Both incredibly successful in their respective jobs.
Like that alone could be a TV show honestly.
That's why when Bi Buck happened I was happy. (I legitimately blacked out because I didn't see or hear the preview right after š¤£š¤£ I was distressed when I came to)
But honestly I am still happy and proud that it happened.
I didn't get the significant of the extent of visibility of having a male (later in life is important!) come out or be acknowledged as bisexual.
Granted in cannon the word hasn't been uttered or expanded on but they head a rough 10 episodes so I'll give em some slack.
But as a viewer and a writer I see how important it is to have it happen and the significance of it through real life stories and anecdotes and for that I am happy for that party of the relationship. š„ŗ
I won't take that moment away from them. Was it perfect (including all the other stuff afterwards?) No.
But was it necessary and messy and awkward like real life? Absolutely yes and I love it.
This is peak TV I tell you. (I've never blacked out like that to TV before so that was a firstš¤£)
But on a real note I was excited (and neutral towards Buck and Tommy being together).
I still ride the Buddie ship all start for to the context clues (slutty dangerous barbell scene anyone??) that it may be confusion on his part or at least leaving the door partly open for Buddie.
(it really could be just gauging the audience reaction)
I won't really talk about the second half of Buddie sexual identity because that either deserves it own post and has to be expanded on.
(Eddie i beg. The women of the world DON'T need you right now. Be a beautiful centerpiece. Do not traumatize the women of la no more. Take care of your son. Don't go through treacherous roads. Take the journey elsewhere. I beg!!!)
But on a serious note I noticed the quick turn I would say on the characterization/head canon of Buck's love interest.
I find it interesting that for female counterparts there hasn't been such a response. (I have heard about Buck Taylor riders though)
(this is my inner thoughts. Very hot. 10/10. My soul was pleased. Couple? Awful. Friends? Brilliant. Taylor motives? Nah you can't be round me with all that sneaky stuff)
But her character was the most expanded on.
But with Tommy, most of what's stated about the relationship at the beginning was headcanon.
I think where the shows heading is to show the incompatibility between them.
Tommy's scenes so far have been casual, smooth and easy.
He doesn't mind a quick date. He doesn't want to dress up for the theme. He'll be there but it's not too important to fuss about it.
The deleted scene is avoidant (which may become a character trait about emotions) to deeper conversations. We see this reflected as well when they're at the dinner after Bobby's finally pulled through (and Buck lost his sonšš I'm not even on no shipper shit that's his babyšš) and he starts to be vulnerable.
I expected it to lean more towards a heartwarming or honest conversation but one again he shuts it down.
What I think they're going to do with his character/have been doing is show that he's avoidant to confrontation.
(i could argue that for his friend he might do more because the Eddie flying things still throws me for a loop in comparison to how they're portraying their relationship)
But I stick by the interested not invested point.
With the little screen time they've had to develop his character they've shown that it's not really endgame they're just incompatible. š¤·š¾āāļø
Comparing the Buddie and Tommy relationship the investment/support becomes a bit evident.
Not matching with Tommy. Incompatible.
Matching with Eddie. Compatible.
Deep conversations. Honesty with Eddie.
Tommy. Redirection and minimization. (and a smidgen of jealousy)
Now you can argue (as a writer in gritting my teeth as I type this) if they do go down the route of his love "changed" me, it it's a possibility to write him becoming a better partner through love or sum.
As Buck is very emotional and he can get him to open up be more serious as he sees him taking it seriously.
As a buddie that killed me!!!!! but as a writer i had to speak up.
Anyways... If it goes that route I'll hate it a little. Hare it and like it seesaw kind of (look ik potential when i see it)
The hate part is that once again it'll be uaed/hamster wheel/i have to prove or gain your love or show that you appreciate me.
Like it cause who doesn't like a good you changed me by being yourself?
I'm a hater through and through. š¤
Tommy as a character I was neutral on at first. I'm still lukewarm about the relationship itself but the character is falling into the same old box all love interests get.
Not enough character but more than enough sex.
Regarding Buck's relationship they're always a give and take, Buck ending up being more of a giver (I'm not defending no white man for his mistakes though he do be doing some things side eye worthy).
But because the love interests are just that and not fleshed out characters, they end up not being able to stand on their own and be interesting enough outside of the one off appearances.
With the exception of Karen my love, my sweetness.
But most of Buck and Eddie's love interests can sometimes be reduced to props to move plot along/give character development.
(which as a writer i didn't hate as it's a multi lead drama series but..... If they want a long term partner to be introduced they can write it like Karen)
I can think of many scenarios and ways to actually make the character less off-putting to some.
Examples: more enthusiasm/effort actually being put in (or maybe that's where the statement Buck had to work for it applies? That Buck had to work for his love ??? I'm speculating now), being more straightforward, the jealously not being brought up like twice now.
Sirens are blasting with that one šØšØ
(The characters actions being vetoed off screen doesn't help either. It also applies to a lot of problematic things that sweep under the rug. Only the queer characters cheating? Violence against each other? Goading into drinks? Kissing/cheating? Manipulation?.... Eh it's drama but the cheating storylines and the characters it happens to makes me a lil š...)
All in all me and my homegirls not pleased.
I ain't been swayed anywhere and the way the wind in this writing ain't blowing nowhere.

Judy Harmon Hc's
ā¢ Judy is the definition of acts mean and is mean
ā¢ Doesn't smile much but when she does you are usually the reason
ā¢ Loves hearing you talk she calls you 'songbird' because as she's said before "you talk so damn much"
ā¢ Completely different when you both are alone
ā¢ Kissing is her love language and she takes it very much to heart if you peck her lips instead of giving her a full kiss
ā¢ Demands your attention with just a simple look
ā¢ Feisty as hell
ā¢ Loves holding her rifle it's something about having a little extra weight in her hands that makes her feel good
ā¢ Can be violent but never to a lover of course however anyone else she's quick to throw punches first talk later
ā¢ Do not let the height fool you she is the dominant person in the relationship
ā¢ She has a stone cold face however when you are anywhere near it lightens you can literally see her eyes smile before she does
ā¢ Judy loves when you touch her in any kind of way whether it be sexual or a simple hand hold
ā¢ Can not deal with being away from you for too long she will complain the whole time
ā¢ OVERPROTECTIVE? Absolutely if you're joining her while she's patrolling anything black panther party related she's standing in front of you rifle in her hand and she's made you grab her switchblade. "That pig moves you better be gone"
ā¢ If she sees you hurt her in any way, shape or form all of her morals are thrown out of the door
ā¢ Surprisingly was very nervous your first time like didn't know where to put her hand nervous you had her sweating and shit
ā¢ Not easily jealous or threatened by another attractive person in fact she laughs at someone trying to get with you. (It took her a while to get your number so yeah seeing anyone else trying is a hilarious sight.)
ā¢ Arguments with her can last forever because she's so damned stubborn
ā¢ Claims to hate cuddles but loves skin to skin contact š make it make sense
ā¢ After an intense night -whether it be fighting the pigs or fucking- she just wants to lay with you skin to skin completely nude the only warmth you two are using is each other. She loves that.
ā¢ Can't do the whole secret thing and doesn't care that you're both women
"I don't see the problem I love her just as much as a man loves his wife. Sounds like some made up bullshit to me y'all stay tryna control the next motherfucker"
Nsfw kinda š¤·š¾āāļø
ā¢ Wants your eyes on her at all times especially when you're climaxing "look at me"
ā¢ Walks you like a dog it's honestly kind of embarrassing but if she's missing you and gets the smallest moment alone with you she's grabbing you by your pants and pulling you to a corner with some sort of privacy
ā¢ Does not like repeating herself and she won't
ā¢ Heavy on wanting you to beg for her "I'm sorry what did you say? I couldn't hear you...did you say faster?"
ā¢ Loves to overstimulate you just because she loves seeing your legs shake and hearing your mumbles, whimpers and whines drives her crazy
ā¢ Aftercare is a must and will never leave you without it
ā¢ Loves teasing you while you're in the bath will touch will bite will nip but she won't give you what you want. Her fingers will rub every part of your skin except where you truly desire it. So long story short she's fucking annoying and will tease you for her own personal fun.
ā¢ This woman lives in your thighs you will wake up to her kissing up your thighs on many mornings it's a tease thing of course but sometimes she furthers the action especially if she knows she won't be home at a reasonable time
ā¢ Her favorite thing to do to you is to bend you over a counter and ram her fingers inside of you knuckle deep just before she has to leave because she knows that's all that will be on your mind as you're working, eating and going about your day.
ā¢ Never leaves you unsatisfied if you're unsatisfied she's unsatisfied
ā¢ Oh my God's you let her anywhere near your cooch oh she ain't stopping until her jaw is locked and in pain
ā¢ Your legs squeezing shut or shaking is only motivation for Judy in fact call her name out while you at it because it does nothing but rile her up
ā¢ "Captain Harmon" yeah you might want to remember that she prefers that name
ā¢ Seeing as you are rarely seen with a man she does everything possible to make sure people know you are taken so you have plenty of marks to show it. Hickeys usually trail from your neck to your inner thigh when it comes to Judy.
ā¢ You licked her fingers clean once and now she loves to see you do it all the time
"there we go clean that shit up"
ā¢ Loves to try new things and is always open to an experiment

wellā¦š¤ honestly iām pretty much dropping them as a whole i fear. i did a rewatch like a month or so ago and it hit me then (especially rewatching s2) but after watching that trailer for the third time itās official. I think in the beginning i wanted sydcarmy sooo badly i was willing to overlook the red flags (and we all know how many there are š) but i just canāt do it anymore. while i still acknowledge the intimate moments they shared together i just view them as *pause for dramatic effect* platonic. they share a platonic intimacy that YES is stronger than whatever that was b/w camry and claire s2. but it still feels just that, platonic. i think we donāt see those kinds of dynamics enough. carol and daryl from twd are a great example i think (iāll add a text i sent to a friend a while ago where i explain further). while i believe that syd and camry understand each other in a way that no one else can, i still think sydney deserves so much better than carmen. i think he uses and abuses her and that if people loved her like they say they do, they would want more for her. she canāt fix him yāall and neither can claire but honestly she can go ahead and take him off our hands if she wants to try so bad. she has dreams and ambitions that are greater than a romantic relationship with camry. we saw how her and richie stepped up and ran shit in the season 2 finale. he needs her and not the other way around. say they do get together. do we think those anger issues and erratic and abusive behaviors are just gonna cease to exist? that man needs therapy and years of it before heād ever be good enough for her as a romantic partner. hell, heās a shitty business partner! (and iām not saying he needs to be a completely healed person to be worthy of love letās be clear, syd need therapy too.) i say, introduce someone new for sydney! or just let her be, thatās also an option. but yeah i think iām done. also iām hoping the writers let her and marcus stay friends cause itās giving little bro š¬. (just another example of a man mistaking a womanās kindness for flirting letās be real) she needs friends anyway and because what other ones does she have? (please donāt say camry, that man is not her friend š. theyāre kinda like family atp. š«£š¤·š¾āāļø ) and marcus may need someone like sydney to talk to anyways if what i fear may happen, happens this season for him.
i tried so hard to respond to all of your points and then i started ranting but i hope this makes sense and in short i do find myself heavily agreeing with you.
bestie as soon as i saw the thesis you provided me with i knew i had to take some time to digest it and as much as it hurts dare i sayā¦. i think i have to agree with you : (
i too was blinded by how badly i wanted sydcarmy to thrive and i think i was also fighting so hard against the way people in the fandom were trying to discount their āromanceā because ayo is a black woman and they couldnāt fathom their favorite fictional white boy of the week lovin on someone who isnāt the ābeauty standardā that i definitely overlooked just how toxic their whole situation is.
and you are so right it was so easy to get caught up with how badly i wanted them together and a series rewatch will definitely slap you in the face and let you know how blinded you were. now please donāt fight me but i think its def giving platonic/little bro from syd like homegirl is just trying to live out her dreams, but i def think carmy may look at her with a bit of a romantic undertone because of how you mentioned they understand each other and i think bc he feels like no one has really ever understood him including his own family that he finds himself drawn to syd, she pretty much validates his whole existence and challenges him instead of settling for the mediocrity that man constantly gives that in a way he has taken her platonic care and worry for him as something more. like he literally admitted he was a loner man doesnāt understand HOW to be friends especially not with women.
let me get on my soapbox real quick. you are absolutely 100% right syd deserves someone a thousand times better than carmy and i definitely want more for her, if iām being honest i want her to leave the bear whenever she gets that chance but thatās a whole other convo. i can rant about claire and carmy for hours but iām genuinely just so tired of them and iām not looking forward to seeing their relationship this season whoops. to me it felt like carmy only began respecting syd after she came back and now he has this mindset that no matter how much vitriol he spews her way sheāll always be there for him and its like a crutch for him. what really sealed the deal for me is the whole take out episode from season one, did syd fuck up 100% yes and was carmyās anger justified also yes but not to the extent that he went, every time i rewatch that scene of him throwing the sharpie in sydās direction as she walks away i feel genuine disgust like yes i know the sharpie wasnāt working and that got him even more irritated but he couldāve thrown it in so many different directions and iām not saying he purposely aimed to hit syd but rewatching that really just showed me how immature he is and how much growing he really does need. like if your next response to your own anger is to get violent and start throwing shit around you definitely need to work on yourself before trying to mess with someone elseās peace of mind.
if they were to get together it would not change carmy at all, getting involved romantically with someone does not change you as a person unless YOU WANT THAT CHANGE FOR YOURSELF! and what weāve seen from carmy is that as much as he pushes everyone else to change and evolve it doesnāt seem to be something he can do for himself or thinks heās capable of. and yes please keep syd and marcus as friends there is literally zero chemistry between those two regarding romance, like can we just let syd be the successful woman she wants to be and maybe offer her romance if she wants it.
also let me go back to the topic of change real quick just look how quick he was to attack richie while he was stuck in the walk-in, he was literally projecting his deep seeded insecurities onto richie while richie took the change carmy pushed on him like a fucking champ and got shit done with his bestie syd (these fics iām writing for this man really got me defending richie)
i will end my nonsensical rant by saying this: no self-respecting person in this fandom would actually ever date carmy and i stand by that ten toes down. its very clear that he has his own behaviors he needs to work out and there is nothing wrong with that and that doesnāt mean he doesnāt deserve love but that also doesnāt mean his partners should be subjected to the mental and emotional weight that would come with loving him, it would definitely get tiring fast. and to take it a step further if carmy wasnāt played by a white man the masses find attractive most everyone would definitely be singing a different tune in regards to him. (like please imagine the microagressive think pieces we would get every season if carmen berzatto was poc)
the carmen berzatto we know and see right now will always love self-sabotaging more than he could ever love anyone else.

I have a question. Putting aside ether you are team green or team black answer me this. Why the hell werent Allicentās kids born with brown hair? Arenāt we led to believe brown hair/black hair is supposed to be some kind of dominant gene trait? Is it because Viserys was a pure bred Valyrian and that carried his genes through? This wouldnāt exactly make sense though! Even Rhaenys had black hair and Aemon was a pure Valyrian and he married a Baratheon Iām confused on how this didnāt happen with Allicent as well. Is this all just story convince for the sake of writing a war? Elia Martell had two children by Rhaegar and Rhaenys looked like a Martell while Aegon was reported to look like his father, pale hair and all. Aegon the unworthy had VARIOUS children that had various genes when it came to hair, skin color, and eyes. Rosey, the Otherys siblings, Aegor Rivers, Mya Rivers, Brynden Rivers, and Gwenys Rivers being examples of some of the children he had. Now donāt get me wrong, not all the kids Aegon the unworthy had were described but we DO know at least that bittersteel had purple eyes and black hair. That checks out, then we can assume the rest of them were a healthy mix of their parents. Besides the oddball Brynden aka Bloodraven and Shiera who had rare mismatched eyes like Alyssa Targaryen.
Now riddle me this. How is it possible NONE of Alicents kids came out with her coloring yet most of Rhaenyraās kids did? At the very least some of Alicents kids should have had different eye colors yet thereās no mention of it, on the contrary, her kids looked like perfect Valyrian children. Butā¦thatās not how genetics work š at least ONE of them should have been the odd one out and some of Rhaenyraās kids with Harwin should have come out with one of her characteristics in some way. Yet thatās not what happened!
Truthfully š I think the Maesters either lied about the characteristics of the children or they put in false information to make the Targaryenās to look as bad as possible. Fire and blood was made many centuries after the fact. It would have been so easy to just write out whatever you pleased about how people looked because no one was alive from that time period anymore š¤·š¾āāļø everyone around the current timeline in asoiaf would look to this history book as fact with no question because of how trusted they are supposed to be(because we know that the people in the story know of what happened back then. So at the very least the book has been around for a few years. Or at least the accounts of what happened has at any rate)
Sure, this could also be writers convince to write out the war but thatās so boring! š¤£ Not to mention there was literally a war dedicated to bastard Targaryens and how they looked!
This was just something that struck a cord in me and I thought it would be something fun to dive into!

Iām just gonna say this cause Iām in a giving mood so Imma GIVE my opinion
Dick Grayson is atleast 4 or more years older than Jason Todd
Like if we look at the og comics thatās a pretty accurate estimate
Dickās friends are atleast 5 or more years older than Jason AT LEAST
Them writers had no business trying to insinuate something between Kori and Jason
Okay bcus he was TWELVEEEE when she was like 18-19 dating his 17-18 BROTHERRRR
That does not compute
You telling me this girl was 18 when she met this lil boy, who was 12 (MAYBE 13) and she was dating his brother. Literally was there for his brother when the lil boy died
And you think that when that boy comes back at like 19, she would be remotely interested in him, romantically????????
THAT IS HER LITTLE BABY BROTHER
Literally she still see him as a scrawny, shrimp, 11 year-old, grown as he is.
I just canāt be ok with that, like yāall that doesnāt sound morally right, it does not.
And Ik a lot of people love their JayKori but this is my opinion based on logic, common sense, and the actual comics š¤·š¾āāļø
Iām not just saying this, okay? I genuinely donāt like that ship it doesnāt sit right with me
(Especially with the whole Talia and Jason thingš)
You can have your opinion but Imma have mine too

I want someone to explain to me - not just explain to me, but talk extra slowly and use the smallest words possible, okay? Baby, explain it to me like Iām 5. Explain to me with a straight face how besides the 1602 episode, there isnāt really any place it wouldāve been āappropriateā for Sam to appear in a show that is literally titled What If.
Sell that shit to the tourists, because Iām not buying it.
They didnāt know what was going to happen with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier? Mmm hmm. Well, sure, but I bet they knew one thing lmao. I bet they knew Sam was going to be Captain America or doing something Captain America adjacent at the end of it. Logically, there were only so many ways it couldāve gone. Sam got the shield at the end of Endgame, as far as the audience knew, he was Captain America in the MCU at that point. Heās been Cap in the comics multiple times. A show is coming out called The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Steve isnāt in it, and Steve has already given Sam the shield.
Now, what does one plus one equal to yāall? š¤Ŗ
No, none of us couldāve predicted the plot exactly, but I bet the WI writers knew Sam was still gonna be kicking around in the MCU, so they couldāve put him in their little cartoon š¤·š¾āāļø Hell, they put people in it that arenāt still kicking in the MCU. You know why? Because the show is called WHAT IF! I justā
Why are people playing right now? He couldāve been Falcon!Sam. He couldāve been Anybody!Sam - what are yāall even on???
Anyway, if you just donāt care that Sam wasnāt in What If (I donāt count that zombie mess), or anything else, then thatās fine, thatās your prerogative, you can do what you want to do lol, but when you say stuff that doesnāt make a lick of sense to defend your opinions, itās weird, just sayinā

āØš©·when you get this, list five songs you like to listen too, then send it to ten of your favorite followers (positivity is cool)š©·āØ
ima do this with songs from my favorite albums recently cause why not š¤·š¾āāļø
1. Lāamour de ma vie by Billie Ellish
this entire album was just like a harm hug for me especially this song since i feel like it kind resonated with what i was going through (recent break up for anyone curious)
2. B.A.S by Megan Thee Stallion
honestly this song was just me trying to tap into my āidgafā mindset cause i feel like i care too much for mfs that donāt seem to care about me so š¤·š¾āāļø
3. Helena by My Chemical Romance
this is actually a recent one but i realized that i fuck with mcr so hard so this only makes sense to add this one to the list
4. Red Wine Supernova by Chappell Roan
her singing plus the guitar is just šš¾ literally the entire album saved my life and i canāt wait for her to make a new one cause ik sheās gonna slay
5. Going by H.E.R
this song resonates so much cause it feels like my mind is focused on getting shit done rather than trying to focus on things that i can worry about later and mentally i just havenāt been doing things that i enjoy and rather trying to do things that will benefit me in the future
honorable mentions cause i can never just choose 5 songs:
1. After Midnight by Chappell Roan
2. Against me by H.E.R
3. Say by Keshi
4. Wildflower by Billie Ellish
(iāve seen way too many sad edits to this song my heart hurts)
I MISSED TWO SONGS WAIT LMFAOO
1. Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter
(trying to tap into my inner sabrina guys)
2. Please please please by Sabrina Carpenter
(iāve been told this song reminds me of me and my s/o in my dr so iāve been obsessed ever since)
its not letting me add the audio for this song so yall might have to just look it up or smth šš
okay thatās all (no itās not)
@lovebvni @cocozydiaries @jealousmartini @theshifterbride @shifting-to-ur-mom @themanirealityshifter @ravenscosmos (thereās probably more but i have no idea)

Honestly so far this season has just messed with all my eddie hc, which isnāt a problem in andof itself, it just basically means iām having to look at him now and ask who the hell this character actually is, and idk yet if i enjoy him as much as i have previous seasons. And i also have to question if this is me having totally misinterpreted who he was from the beginning, or if the writers are actually writing him differently this season for some reason? Like i love seeing eddie happy, but the happiness heās exuded this season has just been really out of nowhere and almost aggressively in your face. Like why did he ask marisol to move in when heās had no more development with her than he did with ana, and being with her caused him to have literal panic attacks? That makes no sense?? The way he acted in 704 was so out of nowhere too, and i know itās theorized that itās just from buckās perspective, but how do we know that for sure? Because heās obviously been acting kind of careless after that too, especially with shannonās doppelganger whose name i forgot atm sorry. And to me thatās the ONE instance i actually completely understand him acting so differently, because like how the hell is he supposed to act in a situation like that?? I completely understand him behaving erratically after that, but why did they write him like that before that too then?
Idk, like i said, maybe iāve misinterpreted him all along, or maybe the writers are cooking up something truly incredible here, but as of right now iām thinking itās just odd writing tbh. It feels like theyāve moulded his personality to fit all these different storylines rather than working those storylines around his natural personality. Like i actually refuse to believe heād ask marisol to move in and then back out like that. Maybe itās bcs of the shortened season ig. Anyway, i think itās why i feel like iāve lost my grip of him this season somehowā¦
I really, really hope they make it work in the end, but iām genuinely wondering how they will do that. Like at this point only a brain tumor would make sense to me, but i donāt think theyāre gonna do that lmao
yeah honestly anon idk what to tell you LOL my strategy with this season is to basically pretend whatever happened for eddie (and buck/hen to an extent) didnāt happen and the end result is all im paying attention to. itās not you, the writing for eddie has been TERRIBLE and careless thus far this season, at least after 7x01. weāll see how things go but the 7x05 plotline seems to just be a throwaway lmfao (and no like ā¦ he IS impulsive but heās never had a problem with moving fast in relationships in the past and he certainly would not do any of that). 7x04 i do think is very much from buckās pov (tim confirmed this but also eddie is back to being normal with tommy in 7x06). i really do not understand whatās going on with eddie either and i think thatās part of whatās making the season so unenjoyable š¤·š¾āāļø i canāt blame you

Iāve also read Prey and Secrets! (Monster looks really interesting but I canāt really handle MCD so unfortunately I cannot indulge š). I live for the Ino-Hina dynamics there.
I think a female Naruto would be very much like Ino, so itās very easy for me to love any kind of relationship between Hinata and Ino. And more than anything else Ino was shown to be a supportive and loyal friend, so it makes sense to want someone like her as a friend for any character! I like Hinata with her Team 8 boys too of course, but Ino will always have my heart.
Ah I see, a lot of readers were hesitant to read it because its tagged MCD, some asked a few questions about who, but of course I don't wanna spoil who, but I do tell folks, I don't do permanent tragedies, and all my fics are a guaranteed NaruHina HEA š It may just take a few sequels to get to it though. Unfortunately, that means its up for everyone else š¤·š¾āāļøšI'm not as attached to side, secondary, or other MCs that are not NaruHinata, they're always on the chopping block š
That's exactly it, she reminds me so much of a female Naruto, lol. She's literally Naruto without the denseness and way too much vanity š¤I love Team 8 boys too, but its so different having a female friend than male. Each has their own set of characteristics that are really unique and cute š

My personal opinion on this is that after 2020 and the blm movement there was a regression with the tolerance of black stories and media with the white public. There was that sudden fake diversity and then back to normal. A lot of young people started to also join Standoms forcing the publicās attention and commanding the media. Look at Taylor swift, look at Ariana look at z, Selena, Tom, Timothy, even elordi (he literally just got here but his virality and quick stans he acquired in his short time), Jenna Ortega as well she is new but the fan base is strong. These people have big enough dedicated currency with the public. They are literally walking money to the studios. Now i know all the dark skinned people you mentioned are talented and even have more critical acclaim than the above but do they have a dedicated fan base? That is a no. So even if they are talented studios stopped taking risks. Which is why love him or hate him what Jamie Lloyd did with casting Fran is the type of move directors should be making. He could have casted a less talented white or mixed actress but he went with Fran and despite the racists harassing her and what kind of attention it brought he went for it. Most casting directors will not do that and are not willing to go there and take the risk if that makes sense. They are looking at the money and the awards that is all.
Hmm.... That's a very interesting take Anon.
I personally feel like the intolerance happened long before the pandemic, but I'll agree with you that the pandemic didn't help, neither did having tRump in office for 4 years help either. š
But really, this has been going on long before then. It's been a steady decline if you ask me. š¤·š¾āāļø
You're right though, that some of the newer actors out here have garnered HUGE massive fanbases in such a short period of time, even before ever leading a major motion picture film on the big screen. Some of it is due to social media, others is due to the "personality" of the actor and who the fans think they are, and for others, it might just be pure LUCK (either people like you, or they don't š¤·š¾āāļø).
The sad part is that aside from Zendaya, who was able to gain a very huge fanbase from Disney starting a very young age, MOST black actors (even the famous ones) never come nearly as close to having a huge fanbase like their white counterparts. That's the problem! America doesn't support black actors like they do white actors. Just go on Instagram and look up 4 well-known, award winning, critically acclaimed actors. I guarantee you that they still don't have half as many followers as some of their white counterparts who have LESS fame, less talent, and less recognition. It's smthg I've noticed for years. š
Re: Fran....
While I def agree with you that Hollywood should def take more risks, at the same time, I'm not sure we can really compare theater to film. The film industry can be quite different from the theater industry.
With a film, a huge studio is usually financially backing up a filming project, so they definitely want to see their money put to good use and yield good results and a major PROFIT.
With theater, you don't have that type of pressure.
The reason why a lot of films are remakes, huge IPs, or reboots, is largely in part because studios know that those types of films are typically a sure thing, and will be more certain to yield a good profit.
