you know what, I actually will talk about this because it's bothering me. The issue with focussing so heavily on syd and carmy's potential for a romantic relationship isn't that there's something inherently unintellectual about romance or whatever, it's that a lot of people seem incapable of doing that without immediately flattening the story and ignoring or intentionally misreading any and all nuance for the sake of that romance. Every scene suddenly becomes about how it impacts their relationship, every analysis is done through a romantic lens, every frame or line of dialogue becomes about finding some easter egg or hint that "proves" these people should start dating. Their dynamic is absolutely a fundamental part of this show, but if you can only see it as a will-they-won't-they, you miss so much of what the story is actually trying to say with these two.
There are good versions of this story where their relationship is romantic and there are good versions of this story where it isn't, but as soon as you decide them being together is "the point," you lose the ability to actually judge the story for what it is, not what you want it to be.

i mean it in the best way possible (to u) but wow from what u've been posting ur uni friends sound like fucking cunts. hope it gets better :/
haha well, yeah no i agree with you
the thing is it's not really uni friends. those just either don't reply or reply that they're busy when it's about something esle than school, they're clear with us that they have their own friend groups they value more and outside of the university setting we don't really keep in touch too much. i mean i tried befriending one girl but it eventually backfired at me so i decided it's not worth to spend my time and health on that
the thing that's happening lately is with people i have known before for ~5 years out of which one of them is my rommate. and only around january/february this year it started becoming clear what we stand on. that's probably why the whole thing is so frustrating to me now, especially that situationship with my roommate/best friend that we ended up in. it's such a complicated and multilayered situation at this point that it's just simply more tiring than upsetting
but in any case thanks for nice words, i hope it gets better too

ALL YOUR CHILDREN ARE POOR UNFORTUNATE VICTIMS OF SYSTEMS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL
A PLAGUE UPON YOUR IGNORANCE AND THE GRAY DESPAIR OF YOUR UGLY LIFE
Wow, been a second since I heard that one. That's like... late 60s, right? My dad's played it for me before.
How did the next part go again...?
🎵 Where did Annie go, when she went to town?
Who are all those creeps that she hangs around? 🎵
And then- I think I remember this a bit better, it stuck with me when I was younger-
🎵 All your children are poor unfortunate victims of lies you believe-
A plague upon your ignorance, that keeps the young from the truth they deserve! 🎵
*Kim grins, briefly, seeming rather pleased with herself, despite the relative scratchiness of her mumbled singing.*
Yeah, pretty sure that's how that goes. It's by... Mothers of Invention, right? Or is there a "The" in front of that?

To me personally malistaire is the funniest and most pathetic villain wizard101 has ever had AND I MEAN THAT SINCERELY!!! Between doomed children who have been manipulated, groomed, and isolated into becoming products of their environments, someone scorned who has been punished unfairly by having your biological heart torn out your chest and turning your children and all of reality against you to satiate their own ego, a nonhuman entity so powerful and so clueless they unintentionally threaten the lives of everyone around them, Malistaire FELL DOWN BRO. Like yeah you're bitchless now. You and me both. Get in line. Everyone in this room is bitchless. We are ALL living that ✨💅🏾💃🕺 Single Life™. You are a middle-aged man. Cope

Hiii you’re actually not that far away from reality with morning star = sun, bc in Rome where Luciferus was an incarnation of Venus it was “the first star” on the horizon, right before the sun outshines it. Lucifer is our beautiful darling ☀️
Your art is so good thank you for the food ❤️🌹🫡
hiii! bfdkjbg ugh i know there were reasons why it is Venus and i would not be miffed about it if not for the fact that the sun is right there. i will be deranged in the tags.
and aaaaah thank you kindly!!!!! ❤️🥹i love drawing these fuckers so i'm so glad you like the art <3

Stop this is so stupid, no one cares, but I need to do something so just posting: I’m leaving the Marauders fandom because eveyrone is just so mean. I’ll say something and everyone will go after me? I genuinely feel like crying right now like I’m holding back tears like actually because of the fandom and I’m sensitive I know but oh my god? Everything i say about the fandom is always directed at the toxic fans, not everyone but boo everyone comes on me calling me a bad person like I didn’t do anything? I don’t even wanna draw these characters anymore, or write fanfiction about them. Why can’t this fandom just be calm? For once? Just be respectful and nice and learn how to read. It’s not what they say but more so how they say it. They want to be mean. And everyone just agrees with them? I know I might come off as ‘rude’ when I post stuff but I mean it always sarcastically, I genuinely don’t care if you like Fanon only how you choose to idk choose to treat others if they have a different opinion. If I do offend anyone, I’ll apologise, if I get into a debate, I’ll make sure to always thank them for not escalating the situation. I always write in my posts(one that I think comes off as more ‘mean?’ Idk) that it’s okay if you like this and it isn’t directed at you, only toxic fans. But still no? Why can’t we be nice? Also, why is it always directed towards people that like canon? People that prefer fanon make posts like that but they don’t get the hate. I don’t even wanna think about these characters because I’ll think about the comments and I’ll become sad again but I love these characters so MUCH but I feel like I can’t love them. I don’t know, I’m just being sensitive but it still hurts,, this rambling was kinda useless but oh well I’m just done with this fandom.
