Taylor’s tweet about women’s history month rubs me the wrong way especially more now that we know Matty has racist beliefs. Not all women are white.

one thing isn't equivalent to or even really reflective of another here, but that tweet was by far one of the more ignorant and tone deaf things she's done (until recently), and the fact that the young actress in that show was then attacked, including racially, by unhinged swifties on the internet proves exactly the point as to why words and commentary from celebrities, and intersectionality on issues, matters, and driving your rabid stans after someone does actual harm even if you didn't intend to cause it. she can be very myopic in her worldview sometimes, unfortunately.

When someone decides to send a rude email or post snarky comments and they don’t know you are a walking talking thesaurus with a PhD in Petty!!!

I’m telling you now, outside work or Social Media you can definitely catch these hands.

A lot of these keyboard gangsters are just that. Social Media has a lot of people thinking they can’t get touched. Anyway, so as I’m gathering documents making requests like I normally do, I’ve had people get real disrespectful and nasty. I’m polite until I’m provoked. I keep asking myself why people feel so comfortable being rude and disrespectful towards me? Well they are going to learn today. If you can grant my request great. If not, there’s a way to respectfully decline. But there is always that one person that must test my patience with a pointed tone and nasty delivery.

Little do these parasites know, I am a proud alumni of Petty University. If I have to take it there I gladly will. Check my credentials. Usually I would let things roll off my shoulders but I have to remind myself and these people who I am. So after calling out their rudeness and redirecting their misplaced anger; I take screenshots and proceed to show them who they think they are talking to.

So let this be lesson, be careful and think before you post or respond. Think and reread that message or email before clicking Send.

Oooh I have a Obey Me writing idea for you but you can ignore if you don’t wanna do it. So when you first come to the Devildom, almost all of the brothers are cold/petty asf to the MC (in my Pisces opinion). Imagine MC’s like “fuck that” and doesn’t try to pander to them as much as the game script wants you to. Like the story still progresses bc the MC is still nosy when it counts, but she doesn’t center them around her world and instead gets closer someone who was nicer/more helpful in the beginning (say like Solomon or Simeon). I’m sorryyy I’m not hating on the brothers but realistically you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Like yeah being a tsundere is cute to an extent but most of em were doing too much in the beginning. Maybe a reaction from the brothers (doesn’t have to be specific for each brother) as they slowly start to warm up to MC but they can’t stand that they’re not gonna be as close as they wanted to be. And either Solomon or Simeon (or both) reacting to you getting closer to them ;) Again this request may be highly specific so you can either tweak it or toss it if it doesn’t sound appealing to write. It can be SFW or NSFW. I love your writing!

A/n: YOURE SO RIGHT BESTIE!! Like the dick ain’t good enough for them to be all over MC like that CRAZY disrespectful 😒 like in my head I was being fake nice to them to secure the pacts until like you make one with Satan and then it’s like okay, maybe I can be genuine w yall. Bc like I’m making friends w any of the billions of other demons there like Diavolo is all but head over heels for you.

MC:

- I’m so on board with this

- Like if they want to go low I can take it right to hell

- They want to throw UP

- Mammon thinks you’re joking but when you fr never come ask him for help he’s crying himself to sleep

- Asmo hates being ignored so after that time in the maze(catacombs? wtf was those) he’s antsy that you don’t really talk to him

- They feel you having fun through your pacts but when you’re around just them it’s like nothing

- Like when a lightbulb dies

- Student council meetings become increasingly more tense as they watch you get along with Solomon and Luke and Simeon and you’re cold to them

- They don’t even really realize they the problem at first

- Lucifer always itching to punish someone so when he snaps at you and you clapback and the issue never comes up again he’s a little disappointed

- Like him and Satan make fun of your grades?

- Bet. you’re being tutored by Solomon and a demon in your potions class

- Like bitch how the FUCK were we ever supposed to take demon philosophy before?? We just got here!!

- Refuse to work with them on any school activities

- You and mammon partnered up to decorate for some school event?

- You work only when he’s not around

- Beel is the one who sounds the alarm by realizing it’s hard to keep track of you

- Like he’ll go asking where you are and nobody can even say when the last time they saw you was

- Belphagor tried to pull that “I’m a human” shit and you didn’t visit the attic for like three weeks😭

- Had to actually force himself to be genuinely nice

- Remember how they said they sent a demon to like the human realm to pretty much do the same thing? who was that because I don’t think we ever hear about them😭

- But you get their number and talk about your shared experiences

- Fish out of water if you will!

- Lucifer WANTS to yell but you do the bare minimum of what they ask he can’t mandate you to join family movie night😔

- Asks a pouting mammon where tf you are and he lists off like any number of random demons you could be chilling with

- Asmo is burning with envy as he catches you at a party with a group of old acquaintinces

- Can see they are so obviously enjoying your company

- Tries to steal the attention for himself

- Levi seeing you on other mfs socials cosplaying w them and doing a TSL marathon like he’s right there??

- Dinner be so awkward but you brush it off like a G

- only texts the family group chat for confirmation, dinners ready, and when is lord diavolo asking for everyone

- Lucifer comes to Dia’s house bc paperwork and he plans to spill the tea when he sees you and him already HAVING TEA🤨

- Like excuse me??

- “Ah just who I was looking for-“

- “Sorry Lucifer I have exams to study for I was just asking Lord Diavolo some history questions I’ll be on my way.”

- He’s literally WILTING💀

- Whines to Dia and he’s like I’m sorry ?? have yall not been spending time with them??

- “Yall….LIVE together. I ain’t out just you and them in the same house for no reason??”

- He can’t eleven rly do shit bc you’re integrating into demon society very well and are pretty sociable

- Like you gain regular popularity but not through them

- Rest of RAD forgets you’re under their protection tbh

- Like you���re your own entity and not at all attached to them so when a random demon is caught talking about like chilling w you and mammon is like IM THEIR FIRST MAN YOU GOTTA AS ME

- he looses about 500 years when the demon goes

- “Oh yeah you are their hired help huh?”

- Yeah he’s picking out a coffin

- Bc he rly tries to curb his tsun behaviors but he hasn’t made it to that level with you where he can be genuine in private

- Levi too like he calls you a stupid normie on reflex and is whimpering when he sees he’s been blocked on devilgram

- What did yall expect??

- Beel is the ONLY one who you regularly talk to

- And even then he’s got his own stuff going on

- But you guys always eat together

- Jaws dropping when he offered you food

- I imagine Beel is like “oh they don’t be talking to yall?….That’s crazy”

- Precious boy so unaware of the conflict

- Nor bc he’s dumb but he’s like “tf that got to do with me?? MC likes me.”

- Very “okay what does that mean to me tho” energy

- I imagine after the Levi pact arc when mammon is wrapping your sprained wrist and he’s all

- “If I can’t come save ya next time, Die.”

- You pull away completely

- Even Satan is having to control himself be he sees your purposefully avoiding him

- He would congratulate you on how well you’re dodging his advances if it didn’t piss him off so bad

- Keeps it a little secret to himself that he can feel your pact mark burning right under his skin whenever you talk to them

- Played hot and cold to see how he can make you less mad when he interacts with you

- Lucifer is so desperate he’s fr about to make a pact early to feel any sort of proof you exist

- Idk if peacocks do it but you know how birds will rip out their own feathers under stress?

- Yeah That’s HIM😭

- Barbados just sit back and observe

- Even the season 3(?) characters come in early! Like you meet 13 as an extension of Solomon and y’all are thick as thieves

- You’re flourishing in your Magic practices bc you still have their pacts, them helping you with magic or not you’re still not one to be fucked with

- Mephistopheles is so giddy that you’re close to him and not Lucifer

- Offers to hide you in his news room to avoid them

- “It’s so quiet a perfect place to study!”

- Sees them scrambling to get ahold of you but your in his office w your phone on silent

- “Oh hmmm, idk I saw them in the forbidden section of the library maybe check there? Weird y’all supposed to be watching them and have no clue about their whereabouts.”

- Lucifer can take it NO LONGER when we’re about right before lesson 16 and he’s making a scene at dinner

- “Why do you never stay in this house? You a mere human think you’re too good to talk?”

- “That. That shit right there is why I don’t talk to any of you. Do you not notice how rude you are?”

- Before Satan can even say his “we’re demons” line you’re cutting his ass off

- “Why would I want to spend time around people who threaten my life for fun?🤨my job is to heal demon human relations and I’m doing that just not with the help of YOU.”

- Dips to purgatory hall bc it’s not Solomon’s night to cook

- They all just kinda 🧍🧍🧍🧍🧍🧍for a few days bc wtf can they say to that??

- Like you’re absolutely right

- You were already humbling Lucifer before but now he has this irrational anger towards you

- But in a nice way??

- He’s like packing your lunch and throwing away whatever you had

- Pushing you out the way to do whatever chore or task you’re doing

- Makes your favorite foods when is his turn to cook dinner

- Like he’s completely unhinged

- To stir the pot let’s say this is lesson 16 and they show up to all that

- Can you imagine??

- Their filled with even more regret than before!! They never got a chance to establish a deep bond with you

- Not really. Not like you have with everyone else

- And now you’re gone??

- They barely even care about the Lilith reveal like😭

- They do everything they can to win your favor but it’s like the end of the program now who’s to say it was enough??

- Beel is elated while the othered are broken that you and belphie become close

- Poor belphie is exhausted w all this drama so to make amends even more he goes out of his way to heal the gaps between you and the others so it’s all good now

- Not Lucifer tho

- He’s still moping

- Can’t hurt his pride by saying how glad he is that your back

- Can’t tell you how he watched his world fall apart when he saw the light leave your eyes

- DEFINITELY can’t tell you how he prayed to Lilith that he would protect you from now on and that he’s sorry

- All of RAD throws a huge goodbye party for you

- Lots of tears

- During the movie night of like that last few days

- As a little treat for you, you still sleep w Lucifer lmao

- Like you sneak out to go to the bathroom and none of the brother see you for the rest of the night?? Yeah we knew already

- He WILL cry jsyk

- He’s pressing kisses all over you and holding you like you’ll disappear

- Mumbling praises into your skin

- The most he’s ever said “I love you” in his entire existence

- Looking at you with teary eyes

- Can’t keep up his prideful façade

- He’s okay with being vulnerable to you

- Again hit him w the “my morning star”

- And he will go crazy

- Tears up when you leave

- Like he can’t even front like he’s not about to go throw up

- They’re all anxious that they won’t ever see you again because you still hate them

- I promise you on everything in all three realms

- They almost do NOT let you leave when you go

- “Thank you for my time here, I love all of you.”

- They are inconsolable

bakugō picks you up from his parents' house following a petty argument.

notes; 0.4k, aged up! + husband!bakugō, happy ending

"come get your spouse. i'm about to go fucking nuts."

it was the call from his mother that he had been dreading all week. bakugou knew it was only a matter of time before you whittled her nerves down to a fine, frayed string and she'd have him take you away, or forcibly remove you herself. as much as mitsuki adored you, excitably encouraging each milestone of your relationship even up until now, you had a bit too much of dependency on her when things went awry in the marriage.

so, it wasn't any surprise to see you standing on the one-step stoop outside the front door, duffle bag in hand with mitsuki's famous guilt tupperware in the other. while walking in stride with him, he had wordlessly pried the straps of your overnight bag away and had them slung over his shoulder.

he didn't try to talk to you for most of the trip home; it would've been an unreciprocated effort based on how you kept your eyes down and averted.

these fights were stupid and you both knew it.

finally, he tried.

"what'd that hag send you away with?" he saw you stretch your lips taut, glancing from your face to the container. "looks good."

"don't call your mother a 'hag', katsuki," you continued, "she made pork katsu with some picked vegetables. I think some of her grilled salmon is in there, too."

he clicked his tongue, keeping his face straight ahead while reaching for your hand, testing the water by grazing the chapped peaks of his knuckles against your fingers. "that woman spoils you way too much."

there was a clapback sitting on your tongue, he could see it in the way you moistened your lips and clenched your jaw, but any words died in your throat. pushing his luck further, he tucked a finger around two of yours until they were all intwined, palms resting flush together.

"it really hurts that you won't take more time off to be with me, katsuki." it was always the same fight, just recycled in different ways. "I'm not asking for weeks, just a few days here and there."

bakugou gripped tighter, his fingers felt hot threaded through your own. "it's not that easy for me to just bail on the agency whenever I feel like it. there's a lot of legal stuff wrapped up in there."

it wasn't what you wanted to hear, he knew that, felt how you tried to reclaim your hand from him but he held on. "that's why I decided to say 'fuck it' and let that scrawny-ass assistant do some work for once. you got me all to yourself for the next two weeks."

you finally relaxed, finally looking at him after a long four days. everything about your face had lightened; that air of glum eclipsed by a wet glisten in your eyes, red forming behind them.

"katsuki, thank you!" he was careful not to let you see him smile too much as he stooped his neck, letting your arms fly behind him. the tips of your shoes just barely scuffed the concrete below when he straightened up, his lips catching onto the rhythm you placed on them. "I love you. I love you so much."

"mm-mhm~" he would have to give mitsuki a call later to let her know you wouldn't be coming back for a visit for a while.

The last chapter was pure gold!!!

I love how Alastor just ignores Vox existence, or at least he tries lol

And I got the feeling Al mistunderatood the “What the hell does Lucifer have that I don’t!?” With ‘what does the hotel have that they don’t’, which it’s not any better agahah Vox is so delusional

It’s such a shame he didn’t say that in front of the other overlords, it would have been such a good laugh and maybe the end of the vees?!

Also I love how u write Alastor, beside his pain he hasn’t stop smiling even a second, and let’s be honest his was such a comeback. He definitely knows how to entertain, also I got the feeling that when he attacked velvette he was trying to repay Carmille a little, cause she tried to protect his privacy more than one time during the meeting and yeah Al, Charlie is definitely rubbing off on you.

“Well, these meetings sure are getting shorter and shorter,” Totally sent me rolling laughing. He is so right tho

I wonder how Luci is gonna take this plan of his, cause I don’t think he will accept it with open arms. And I honestly don’t know if Al has something to offer the king of hell to make such a deal …but it’s undeniable that he has a soft denial spot for Al, so who know he might actually go with it👀

I just have a question, are they gonna get together in the end? Or is it just gonna be a long slow burn. Either way I am enjoying this a lot. Can’t wait for more

Hahaha, Alastor was trying SO hard to ignore the petty little TV man. He wants to talk about Charlie's hotel and go home, please and thank you.

And LOL yeah I'm glad you picked up on that. Alastor still thinks Vox is referencing working together, not the insinuation that Vox wants something more between them. To Alastor, it sounds like Vox is trying to imply that he can do "so much better" with his alliances; whereas Vox thinks Alastor knows--a least a LITTLE--about Vox's crush, but is playing it off like its nothing, which makes him even more furious.

Hahah I was so excited to write his clapback to the Vee's. He knew that if they showed up, they were going to bring up the fight with Adam, and he needed to be prepared. People start beef with him, but you better damn well believe he'll end it. Carmilla definitely enjoyed the clapback too. For a sinner she certainly has the patience of a saint.

But I also don't think she actually respects the Vee's. They're just entitled, spoiled little children in her eyes. They're a group she doesn't feel the need to expend her energy on, because, well, what's the point? She doesn't have a high enough opinion of them to do so.

Alastor and Lucifer's conversation in the next chapter was very fun to write. These two can't be left unsupervised because it's just going to end in a fistfight. They're constantly ready to throw hands and I love it.

I am writing this with the end goal being them getting together! It will be a slow-burn though 😂 I'm really gonna go into Alastor exploring his ace/aro'ness, what being in a relationship means for him. and what he wants out of a relationship. On the flipside, I'm gonna explore Lucifer's thoughts and feelings about slowly falling for a sinner (who HAS done terrible things) and what he thinks that says about himself--he has had a very negative view about sinners for thousands and thousands of years, and a mindset like that isn't going to change overnight.

So, they're both definitely going to be exploring different parts about themselves that this relationship forces them to address. And I'm very excited to get into it!

I think the tag "Lucifer Fell First But Alastor Fell Harder" is going to be very apt for this fic series.

I dont think I dont like Az just because I dont like Elriel. I dont particularly like Az as of now because of his behavior towards Elain AND Lucien, and overall I was never really interested in him as a character.

Nevertheless I am a Gwynriel because I like Az with Gwyn and I know he will have a lot of character development which will make me forgive his actions (which just annoyed me honestly). But some Gwynriels need to understand the struggle of being in a fandom where people (normally elriels) are mocking Lucien left and right, comparing him to Azriel. You have NO idea how much of these gets shoved down our throats. OF COURSE there will be Elucien clapbacks of that.

Even Azriel puts himself in a position where he is arrogant towards Lucien, he compares himself implicitly to him, this on its own will create a wave of people scratching their heads and going “Actually, now that I think about it, I dont think so” And its fine for me as a reader to have criticism over a character, why does that make me petty?

Elriels comparing Az with Lucien is uncalled for and blatantly one sided, Eluciens responding to this as “actually, think again” is the fucking normal response. And it’s obvious you’re not a Lucien stan if you think Lucien stans need to bring down Az to raise Lucien, gosh what an outrageous statement, the amount of Lucien love and praise I see daily with NO GLIMPSE of Azriel is beautiful, I highly recommend you embark on it.

[loveislandthegame]

my overall thoughts on season 7, writing edition: what in the world ? 😭 i cannot believe i thought this season was gonna be good. i’ll be joining rohan & S2 MC in the circus, since FB made me look like a damn clown. i don't even know where to begin

being a casa girl had so much potential, and it was something that a lot of players actually wanted, even before FB started doing these themed seasons. they really fumbled the bag here

i enjoyed casa amor. the guys were all unique, had their own dialogue, and it was cool to see their pre-established relationships (alex being the villa dad, bryson and rafa being partners in chaos, the beef between bryson & joyo) then we arrived in the villa, and it all went downhill from there:

everybody became an empty husk, so they could be forced into interchangeable roles: uma’s partner, bonnie’s partner, OG LI’s ex, loved up couple (summer/joyo or #rafne) to name a few. FB’s lazy asses ruined their own characters . why is alex, the supposed level-headed & mature one, being petty & childish af in my playthrough? 😭

MC literally had no thoughts, head empty. we barely participated in any of the challenges and games. it felt like we didn't do anything besides "get pulled for a chat" by your LI or the girls

the LI personality merge in this season was the worst it has ever been. all they do is agree with whatever you say, or tell you how great you are (gone are the days of LIs having their own interests, & getting extra dialogue because of that, like levi with artist MCs)

same problem as the most recent seasons, where MC doesn’t have friendships. she has a forced bestie, then potential LIs that sit around waiting for you to pick them, choose them, love them (they immediately disappear if you don’t pick them)

the plot made no sense at all. being a casa girl means we miss out on the first half of the season, but there were many different ways they could've shown what happened before we arrived (it couldve been something as simple as MC watching the show at home or during the jeep ride to the villa. lol) the timeline was inconsistent, so much important information was paywalled, and i’m pretty sure FB was just making shit up as they went along, since the drama with stephen and OG LI's ex genuinely came out of nowhere . he wasn’t previously mentioned in the beach hut, casa amor, nothing . his only purpose was to make the OG girl look bad.

speaking of the OG girls, what a disappointment . before we got to the villa, i honestly thought they were hinting at estelle and/or willow being LIs . even if they were forced to be our rival, they still could’ve had an interesting character arc . it would've been a lot more fun if she was like allegra, rather than OG LI's equivalent of suresh

i was gonna write, "why tf did she even make it to the finale?" but the answer is obvious : for the gem scenes. every damn volume, it's pay diamonds to upstage her, pay diamonds to clapback, pay diamonds so “your man” doesn't turn his head 🙄 it's already stupid enough, but it makes even less sense if you're not pursuing your OG LI

which leads me to the biggest problem of this season, the lack of branching. you're given the illusion of choice, everything leads to the same outcome . i didn't think it could get any worse, until i saw what happens when you choose the money . does your LI storm off? nope. they make you do the treasure hunt anyways...to win you back ??😭 MC should've called security on their ass

s7 had a promising start but ended up being a flop. it was better than s5, but that's really not saying much . i wish FB would just take their time—s1 and 2 had a whole year long gap between them. but it's clear that rushed seasons are gonna be the norm, season 8 is dropping in february . capitalism ruins everything luv x

[alice-after-dark]

Okay, this might get me some hate but gonna chitter chat about the writing of the show for a hot second (full disclaimer that overall I very much love this show and am looking forward to the second season)

Sometimes I do feel like people just get highly amused by Vox and his hate boner for Alastor and forget that this guy is a fucking Overlord of Hell. He's not just some pathetic goofball. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE "Stayed Gone," but I do think that it and all his subsequent obsessing over Alastor, while hilarious and entertaining, overshadowed Vox's initial introduction as a scheming, manipulative, dangerous, and corrupt person to the point where the fandom views him as adorable and pathetic when we very clearly see in his introduction that he's not??? He has the public eating out the palm of his hand. He has wealth and power. He even manipulates his own allies. But after "Stayed Gone" happens, we don't see him do anything that isn't about Alastor. I feel like the show tries to recover his character with the meeting between the Vees (which at least does show that he can remain composed when discussing Alastor as the person he has a visceral reaction to is in fact Charlie, not Alastor) and the vitriol he spits at Sir Pentious when he fails to spy on the hotel, but even then, both of these things are ultimately about Alastor and any efforts here are pretty much forgotten with Vox's reactions during the battle with the angels.

The main problem I have with "Stayed Gone" from a narrative perspective (again, love that song and have watched the scene far more than is necessary) is that it directly contradicts the character that he is first presented as. He is literally introduced to us with him manipulating and defusing Valentino effortlessly from going on a rampage at the hotel. He is presented as someone who is obsessed with image and public opinion. Now, I had absolutely nothing wrong with him going off in front of Valentino about Alastor and showing this uncontrolled side of him while he has a borderline tantrum. Valentino is his ally and is clearly aware of his hatred towards Alastor. Having this explosion in private makes sense for the character the show has already established. However, by the end of "Stayed Gone," he is having a full blown meltdown in front of the public. The song starts sinister and foreboding, but it almost immediately devolves into petty insults and jabs from Vox. Now, there's a fair argument to be made that this is meant to show how Alastor gets under Vox's skin like this and utterly destroys his carefully crafted facade and I do fully believe that that's what the song was going for (that and setting up their rivalry). The problem for me comes in the fact that we don't see any of that masterful manipulation of the public that we saw in Vox's introduction. He instead gets played for a joke while Alastor is presented as clever and composed and someone to be feared and this just doesn't sit well with me. We're meant to believe that Vox is, at the very least, someone that Alastor sees as worth an actual response and clapback. If he wasn't, Alastor would have just ignored him or even straight up killed him. It's kind of a Show vs Tell situation. We're basically told that Vox is someone to be worried about but that's not what we're shown. He gets publicly humiliated and beaten by Alastor easily and we're supposed to believe that this guy is a threat? Honestly I would have loved to see them on even ground for most of the song as Vox slowly but surely devolves into losing his shit and Alastor eventually takes the win, showing that Vox is actually a worthy rival for the Radio Demon. There's just...a lot of mixed messages about Vox in season 1.

He's just kind of played for laughs and it's a little disappointing because he actually seems like a potentially fascinating character and I really hope we get to see more of exactly why he is a feared and respected Overlord in season 2 considering he is supposed to be a central character and villain.

Stolas clapback anon: man, now I'm dreading the full moon ep more than I already was.

the mental backbends some fans do to defend him are bad, but even some of them pale next to what the show itself comes up with

before the next ep drops and likely takes its crown, I'm curious what you & others would nominate as the worst lines in the show so far?

for me it's probably:

'Oh great, the supremacist agrees with me!' (Blitzo about Striker. I still can't believe the show had him call Striker that or that the writers were careless enough to not think twice about putting that in. Striker has 100% become the show's White Fang from RWBY and it's both painful and aggravating)

'you just hate him because he's a prince' and the rest of what Fizz says there. It sucks so much both he and Blitzo are being made to be mouthpieces for these lousy Stolas sucking up neoliberal talking points. Both of my examples are from Oops! which I think is the worst of the Stolas shilling, though I'd pick The Circus and Western Energy as maybe worst overall

petty little ones also from Oops:

Stolas' smug 'get fucked, little one' and whatever that thing was he said while the show was trying to act like he was being badass haggling over the lawyer's contract

For me, it's a tie between "Sounds like you just hate him for being a prince and "The prince is our boss's BOOOoyFRIIEEEEND." Every time I rewatch Harvest Moon for whatever reason, I have to skip it, because it just pierces my head like a dentist's drill.

Buck & Eddie: Their 7x4 "kerfuffle" or fight, disagreement or whatever

It takes a lot for Buck to get angry, so I think whatever Eddie's going to say to him while they're on the basketball court, is going to push him to a point where he reacts in a way that's uncharacteristic of him. Even though I'm not sure what Mr. "Petty Eddie" Diaz is going to say, I do believe whatever it is, it will sting and cut deep. Buck will be pissed, he'll react and it won't be good for either of them.

It's giving the same energy as "She sees me" times 100 (pun intended since it's the 100th episode) and it's already angsty but the episode hasn't even aired yet.

Eddie's my favorite character and his comebacks are always the best. He can clapback with the best of them and Buck will be trying to take it all in.

I've said it before, I wish they would just talk instead of whatever the "F" this is going to be because I don't like angst. I'd rather not see a repeat of 3x5. Why can't they just talk like adults?

Yikes! This is shaping up to be interesting! 👀

Be clear, I don't like or condon violence of any kind and I believe people should talk and use their words so don't get this post twisted. Buck shouldn't lash out at Eddie or anyone else.

not the og anon but claire danes said something so racist about the city of manila in 1998 that she was declared a persona non grata by filipino officials and afaik cannot travel there to this day. i wont repeat it but you can look it up. she also played the lead in homeland, which is easily the most outright fascistic and bloodthirsty of the wave of gritty reactionary post-9/11 tv shows. its actually based on an israeli tv show in fact 😬 obviously actors need to make a living but i think i'd rather die than make mine via blood money from starring in imperialist propaganda. personally

found the article about it from 1998 and im lowkey obsessed like the former movie star turned president, the insanely rude and bizarre shit she said about manila and the people living there (the weird ass ”they have no arms no legs no eyes” comment like girl what.. the fuck does that even mean) and the president serving cunt in his clapbacks and embracing his inner petty bitch and just flat out saying ”hmmm no sweaty i dont think so stay banned bitch lmao do better”

That Superman vs. Kaiju Parasite conclusion was downright perfect. Holy shit. I literally went feral bouncing at it.

"You chose to be a monster, Ivo." "Then what does that make an alien freak like you?!" "Don't you read the paper? ... I'm Superman."

Just a perfect clapback, against a man who turned himself into a monster out of capitalistic greed, petty self-centeredness, and xenophobic contempt, for Clark, an alien who's wanted so hard to be normal and know more about himself. THAT HE'S NOT A WEAPON, HE'S NOT A MONSTER, HE CHOOSES TO BE SUPERMAN. THAT HE DEFINES HIMSELF BY THE NAME HIS BELOVED GAVE HIM!!! ❤️🥺😭

It's a culmination of so many themes the show was exploring. Clark not blaming himself for how others use his planet's technology, coming to terms with who he is and realizing he gets to define who Clark and Superman are. It's so so good!!

The Signs as Moments from Cinderella (1950) ARIES: Lucifer skirting Gus's attempt to beeline to Cinderella's room with the key to her escape by trapping him under a teacup and laughing gleefully. Petty! TAURUS: The Fairy Godmother zaps Lucifer with her magic, chasing him away. Cinderella remarks, "Poor Lucifer," only for the Fairy Godmother to clapback: "Serves him right, I'd say." GEMINI: Lady Tremaine reprimanding her WILD daughters, preaching: "Remember, above all, self-control," before hearing Cinderella knock on the door and subsequently slamming the piano keys with full force and no chill. "YES?!" CANCER: Anastasia frantically calling for her mother and running about in the hallway, bare-foot, in her magenta nightdress after finding a harmless mouse in her teacup. "Mothah, mothah- MOTHAHHH!!!" LEO: Cinderella making Lady Tremaine fall back by pulling a reverse uno and revealing her glass slipper, which she kept as a secret until that moment. Sometimes you have to be the drama. VIRGO: The exasperation Lady Tremaine feels when plainly explaining the King's plot to trap his son into marriage with the girl who fits the slipper and Drizella and Anastasia, half-asleep, still aren't following...after Lady Tremaine, at her age, woke up hours before they did, traveled to the castle gates to read the notice, and got all the tea from the neighbors. She's of half a mind to smack them upside the night-cap with the broken crockery Cinderella just dropped. LIBRA: When Cinderella tells Bruno that everyone should try to get along and see the good in each other, but she fails to find a redeeming quality about Lucifer. Oop! SCORPIO: The way Cinderella had the entire kingdom in a chokehold without even trying and everyone's eyes were on her, but seconds later she vanished into thin air and they weren't even sure what her name was, how to find her, or which kingdom she came from. The Grand Duke was sputtering: "Mademoiselle! Senorita!" because he didn't even know which language she spoke. SAGITTARIUS: Jaq and Gus going toes with Lucifer for the left-over, tossed away items the Stepsisters are no longer interested in for pieces they can incorporate into Cinderella's party dress. Well-meaning, but honestly, what were they thinking??? But, also, THEY DID THAT. CAPRICORN: The absolutely chaotic energy the Stepsisters have when trying on the glass slipper, knowing it doesn't belong to them. Anastasia claiming the slipper must've shrunk because she spent all night dancing in it and glass shoes aren't built to last. Drizella feigning an old-money accent when seeing the shoe that she's never worn a day in her sorry life: "Why that's my slip-per!" AQUARIUS: Prince Charming refusing to date anyone seriously, to the point where the King has to throw a ball in his honor, announce and plan it the day of, and literally bring every single woman in the kingdom for the slightest chance it'll lead to something. PISCES: Lucifer, hearing Cinderella's voice beckoning him to wake up, but choosing to stay in his ribbon-encrusted kitty bed instead. When he finally does choose to come, he takes his sweet time getting over, making sure to stretch and aggressively yawn.
