*gently takes your face in my hands* Are you familiar with the term "ignorance is bliss"?

s1 is just. i love you grainy unfocused shots of cemeteries and foggy roads no one travels. i love you john’s journal as a bible. i love you sam driving the impala casually with dean sleeping in the passenger seat. i love you jessica moore and sarah blake and cassie robinson. i love you dark motels with neon signs and dusty libraries with huge lore books. i love you side character serving as a mirror to the winchesters. i love you cleaning guns and wounds and sharpening of knives and gas stations and flip phones and laptop stickers. i love you small towns where time stands still with something unknowable and hungry lurking in the shadows. i love you angry psychic sam and dean trying his best with a leather jacket too big for him. i love you looming presences of john and mary. i love you homemade and flawed equipment. i love you horror and tragedy and blood. i love you dramatic lighting and silhouettes. i love you folklore and local legends. i love you -

okay i almost never address the very small amount of internet fame i have. and sometimes yes it sucks. people often repost my work, or clip it out of context, or flat-out steal it. but like it can be very funny. once a follower dm'd me to say a guy on hinge was pretending to be "inkskinned", and actually had even started his own insta. when she said "i've followed her for years i don't think you're her", he said - actually r.i.d is like seven people, we just made those initials up. (rude). when i found his insta and messaged him, he begged me to just lie and say he was r.i.d because "it's hard for men to date."

once someone said she should be allowed to plagiarize my work because she was a body-positive influencer and that if i "made a big deal" about this and "got her cancelled", i would be doing damage to my own community and i was never "actually" an ally.

i bear these things with the aura of a martyr, the way my catholic father raised me to. i message privately. i handle things quietly and quickly. i do not complain because i am very, very, very, very blessed and i know that. mercy and gentleness literally pour out of me every morning when i wake up, and then i have to mop the floors for how very Good i am.

however today is the first time i have ever had a very specific problem that neither requires me to correct this person nor throw them to the dogs but is somehow worse than years of hatemail, reddit thread death threats, and pinterest reposts:

someone quoted me and just got it, like, a little wrong.

does anyone else form their headcanons of marinette and adrien largely on the basis of "they have to be opposite each other"? like, creation and destruction, yin and yang, etc. like Marinette being late all the time and sleeping through her alarms? so she's probably a deep sleeper? So that means, by the laws of my lovesquare headcanons according to my brain, Adrien has to be a light sleeper. Marinette is a chaotic creative person and I can imagine her just having so much STUFF all around and living in organized chaos. so therefore Adrien likes his spaces neat and clear. (also something something creation and clutter vs destruction and emptiness) you know??? ???? ? adrien and marinette headcanons just cant be independent of each other in my brain. they are always intrinsically linked

Ngl, some people's "I wasn't allowed to be an irredeemably evil shitbird, ergo Veilguard is not an RPG" argument is extra funny to me, because I don't actually think there is a conceivable narrative in which, if your Rook did something as objectively amoral as selling people into slavery, they wouldn't wake up the next morning floating untethered in the raw Fade with Neve's bootprint on their ass, and the Lighthouse no more than a distant blip on the edge of their vision.

Like there is a lot to get into here that I just don't have the time or the spoons to go through, but I'd argue that one of the biggest strengths of Veilguard's writing is that the main cast are all very well-defined characters with their own sets of morals, ethics, and goals, and they collectively have more than enough of a backbone that if Rook did something that proved them incapable of leading the team to the story's climax and/or proved them to be of no benefit to them, they wouldn't fail their quest: they would just swiftly and efficiently get rid of Rook.

Wammy kids Evangelion au… aka pain and suffering squared

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

My only one // I'm not the one

My smoking gun // Two graves, one gun

My eclipsed sun // A moment of warm sun

This has broken me down // Just how low did you think I'd go before I'd self-implode

My twisted knife // My spine split from carrying us up the hill

My sleepless night // My friends said it isn't right to be scared every day of a love affair

This has frozen my ground // Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill

Stood on the cliff side screaming, "Give me a reason" // You say that I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it

Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in // You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues?

Don't want no other shade of blue but you // You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days

No other sadness in the world would do // How much sad did you think I had in me, how much tragedy?

My best laid plan // I didn't opt in to be your odd man out

Your sleight of hand // I founded the club she's heard great things about

My barren land // And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free

I am ash from your fire // I died on the altar waiting for the proof

You know I left a part of me back in New York // I left all I knew

You knew the hero died, so what's the movie for? // You left me at the house by the Heath

You knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart // I'm just mad as hell cause I loved this place for so long

You knew the password, so I let you in the door // I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe

You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score? // My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment

You knew it still hurts underneath my scars from when they pulled me apart, but what you did was just as dark // Every breath feels like rarest air when you're not sure if he wants to be there

Darling, this was just as hard as when they pulled me apart // Stitches undone

My only one // Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away

My kingdom come undone // I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift

My broken drum // I stopped CPR, after all it's no use

You have beaten my heart // The spirit was gone, we would never come to

The Next Prince episode 4 was a fantastic example of "Show Don't Tell" storytelling and how effective it can be when well executed. From the first scene to the very last, the audience was shown parallels between the main and second couples, and not once did the writers feel the need to baby the audience and have a character/narration spoon feed the point of what we were being shown.

It began with the dance sequence, when we are shown multiple shots of the characters dancing with their designated heteronormative, socially acceptable (class wise) partners. Every shot deliberately shows each boy give multiple longing looks at their love interest in the fleeting moments they can see eachother as they spin on the dance floor. And I don't know about everyone else, but I got goosebumps at the sheer amount of emotion on all their faces. And then Khanin, who was raised in London without the stark class distinctions of royalty, decides to act on his feelings and dance with Charan.

We immediately see the shock on everyone's faces, for a prince has crossed class lines and is dancing with someone significantly lower in rank. And in the back we see Ramil and Paytai, and we know and they know that they could never do that, could never have that.

Later, when Khanin and Ramil are alone on the cliffside, we are again forced to compare their characters. As they talk about Khanin's mom, about how they share blood, Khanin expresses sympathy about Ramil's upbringing. And it serves to force the audience to fully reflect on the differences between the two. Khanin got to have a loving father and the freedom to love and live how he pleases, regardless of gender or class. While Ramil lived under his strict father, constantly being reminded of his class and status and responsibilities.

These two scenes I mentioned, plus nearly every other scene in this episode, constantly remind the audience of the differences between Khanin and Ramil, while also subtly telling us that they are supposed to be the same in the eyes of the society they live in. They are both princes, heirs, meant to be worshiped and doted upon by their people. And as we see Khanin basically say "fuck that noise" over and over again without regard to the consequences, it makes the final parallel between Khanin and Ramil hit so much harder.

Because when Ramil is caught for messing with Khanin, and Rachata violently punishes Paytai, everyone is reminded of what's really at stake here. And it makes you truly understand why Charan acts the way he does eventhough the scene wasn't technically about him.

Thinking about Loop and Phantom of the Opera similarities. Does Sif and/or Loop make those comparisons and jokes about it? (i love your theatre au so so so much its so fun)

I went a bit of a different direction with this ask because I was thinking about it from Siffrin's perspective (plus I love doodling hehe). Loop probably has made lots of references but doesn't refer to themselves as a phantom. It's kinda too on the nose in a way.

The most helpful phantom ever!! They spend all their time at the theatre, they might as well clean up and make sure things go smoothly!

... That look, just for a moment.

The next day, Loop was back to normal, Siffrin won't make references to The Phantom of the Opera anymore, but Loop will from time to time. Siffrin doesn't know why this happened, nor how to ask if joking about Loop having a "Christine" was what caused them to react in such a way. Maybe they lost something, or had to give them up...
