I care about this friendship more then life itself /jk

But no seriously I get so giddy every time they interact. However I also don’t have hope that nothing will go wrong :(

also I design the bird leg prosthetics because I love bird designs and as an amputee myself I like to give characters the chop any chance I can lol.

Important follow up to this poll:

Out of respect for Aladdin's landslide win in the first poll and subsequent crowning as the King of the Blunt Rotation, he has been removed from the bracket and replaced with Kristoff who frankly I think fits into this bracket much better.

Once again, apologies to the other Disney princes who have been snubbed. I only get ten slots per poll and honestly I don't think Hercules would have been invited. Robin Hood and Quasimodo probably would have been but they're too busy cooking meth Breaking Bad style to partake of the devil's lettuce, and Milo Thatcher is currently taking as much Adderall as he can buy on a linguist with a focus on lost languages' salary.

We here at Prince Blunt Rotation Inc. wish them and our contestants the best of luck and the highest of highs. May the worst nightmare blunt rotation invitee win.

Miss Emma!!

Eek I love Emma!!!

Sexuality Headcanon:

Lesbian. 100%. She’s so lesbian coded to me it’s crazy I could talk about it forever!

Gender Headcanon:

Hmm probably cis girl but I do have a soft spot for Transgirl Emma…

A ship I have with said character:

Priyemma! Obviously. I do also like Zemma, Axemma, and Emmk

A BROTP I have with said character:

I miss her and Bowie so bad 😭 But I also think her and Millie or Damien would be fun!

A NOTP I have with said character:

Chemma, obviously. Even if he got a redemption arc or something, I really don’t think their relationship would be the best for her.

A random headcanon:

She’s OBSESSED with “recession pop” and was one of those girls in elementary school who was a huge Justin Bieber fan. Look up “white girl music” and that’s literally all she listens to. Her favorite song is specifically “Shut Up and Dance”.

Her music taste is getting better. Slowly.

General Opinion over said character:

I LOVE Emma. I wish the show had done her so much more justice but she is such a beloved character to me 😭❤️

Two random questions!!

1. Feelings on 2ne1’s “I Love You”? I think it’s in the vein of love island pop you’ve been talking about!!

2. Favorite song from Somi’s new mini album? I’ve been so happy bc there are some awesome dance songs in the bsides too !!!

I am actually so uneducated on 2nd gen kpop its crazy - like i love snsd, shinee, and f(x) but in terms of literally everyone else i am so clueless, so i loveeee recs for 2nd gen!!

I have actually never heard 'I love you' by 2ne1 before today, but from first impressions, i think its a really cool song. it places a lot of emphasis in the prechoruses and the verses just as much as the chorus, which is very unexpected as a lot of modern kpop songs are quite top heavy in that the chorus is the only attention grabbing part. I really like that, and the melodies are super timeless too. the production is really cool too - ive been thinking a lot about how repetitive the retro trend was a couple years ago, and how everyone just used the weeknd's synth sample pack and called it a day, but this song is honestly more 80s than pretty much anything else ive heard in kpop.

for it being in my dumbass 'love island pop' genre, im not actually sure. I think a lot of the elements are there, like fun but not overcomplicated vocal melodies, repeated lyric motifs, synths with rising tension, but i think the crux of why i dont think its love island pop is because imo its more 80s synthpop than 00s/10s EDM/house. And its funny bc i can see exactly where ive been misleading lol. Somi's 'fast forward' does absolutely have retro influences, but what i think makes it love island pop is the chorus referencing the EDM songs that the USA had stopped doing half a decade ago. I'll deffo do a playlist post and define this genre properly lol

ANYWAY, for what my favourite song on somi's new mini album. I really dont like 'gold gold gold', i just KNOW teddy pulled this one out of the rejected lisa solos hard-drive. Its just so unredeemable? Obviously I love 'fast forward', which is apparently a hot take, but genuinely i cant get enough of this song, there is not a dull moment ITS SO GOOD. 'Fxxked' is honestly quite love island pop too, its a super fun song, it fits somi so well. 'pisces' is like 'sour grapes' 2.0, its enjoyable, but a little bit less exciting in comparison to the other tracks. 'The way' is a through-and-through kpop retro song with a somi edge, its very fun. I still think 'fast forward' is my favourite off of the album, but 'The way' is probably my fave b-side, with 'fxxked' being a close contender.

One thing I do love about high stakes paranormal romances is that you typically do get to see old couples with an HEA come back, and while you know their HEA will last (this is why I always scoff at IAD readers who feel like "someone" has to die in the ultimate endgame... they don't.... lol at least not permanently; you can kill randoms, but you can't kill romance couples) you get to see them imperiled a little? And the Drama?

Like:

--in Kristen Callihan's Soulbound, we have an existential threat to the hero, which in turn creates an existential threat for all the supernatural creatures he's "sired", including two!!! Former heroines. Whose heroes subsequently get to cradle their prone forms (in the case of Jack and Mary of Shadowdance) or basically burn the house down in a case of werewolfy insanity (Ian and Daisy of Moonglow, one of my favorite romance couples of all time, who only got better through him literally growling over her prone form, I swooned).

--in Kresley Cole's Lothaire, when Mariketa of Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night (a book that was 8! installments prior) attempts to reach through a mirror and rescue/kidnap Ellie, only for Lothaire's Contractually Obligated Friend to cut her hand off (it grows back it's fine). Kresley just writes that Ellie hears a "beastly roar", but if you've read all the previous books, you know that's Bowen, Mariketa's husband/beast familiar werewolf man, who is VERY UPSET.

--and on a flip side, in Kresley's Sweet Ruin a few books later, you see Lothaire being very typically flippant about a Big Danger he's been called to help with, and Ellie isn't even named; but if you're a series reader, you understand exactly how the mood shifts when he snaps to the "female vampire" next to him to get the hell out of dodge IMMEDIATELY

(Kresley does not elaborate if she does, and it's Ellie, so I assume she Does Not)

This is also a benefit of being a series reader, of course; and I'll never be over the pure geeky joy of seeing two people I watched fall in love and be stupid for 400 pages come back to be in love and stupid on the sidelines, sometimes with MORTAL DANGER.

I know the kneejerk reaction from Black Sails fans to this line from Treasure Island is “but it wasn’t just for money, it was for love,” and that is SO true and valid. But, at the same time, I’d like to posit: imagine it was all just for money. So what?

A squire, someone born into more money than he could ever possibly know what to do with, is going to put down poor people for wanting economic stability???? For being willing to put their lives on the line to achieve it?????? It’s all very reminiscent of “‘You people, incapable of accepting the world as it is,’ says the man to whom the world handed everything.” Like Woodes Rogers, Squire Trelawney sees the pirates as villains for being unwilling to accept their lots in life and refusing to play by civilization’s rules, even though those rules are rigged against them.

YES, it’s about Stories and Civilization’s Warped Narratives and all of that, but also, even if Trelawney was right about this, he would still be wrong, and I think that’s important to keep in mind also.
