do you guys ever think about how after meeting Valentine, Stephen burned all his things & started dressing just like Valentine. and how Clary describes Jace's room as neat and tidy and empty like it belongs to a monk & not a teenage boy, just like Valentine. because by being Valentine's son, Jace is Stephen's
I think the circle is a great conceit for a show because it really shows that there are a lot of men out there who believe that things would be Much easier for them if they were able to present themselves as "hot blonde woman" and it's very satisfying for them to quickly discover, oh they are all ganging up on Hot Blonde Woman, oh everyone in the chat is making enemies and tearing down this girl, oh I have Immediately become a target
And I do think that this belief that they will have a easier time becoming popular if they look like Woman Character is coming from how we see women doing better in dating apps and social media. But these specific guys seem unable to register that women can perform better in these spaces because they know how to Present themselves. They know how to build the profile, construct the narrative and talk about themselves (a symptom of growing up being constantly critiqued and looked at).
So like is Hot Blonde Woman character more likely to do better on social media, yes perhaps, but it's because they've become very good at creating this identity and know what audience they're targeting, it is not as these men discover much to their chagrin, because they are just inherently hot and it falls into their lap
“Would you unfriend someone who is cancelled?” is such a funny yes/no question cuz like are we talking 2016 #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty or are we talking accused sexual predator? Cancelled is way too broad a thing these days lmao
