So I have not seen John yet (not in the US) but in anticipation and celebration of his return I wanted to list everything that the stupid fucking corporate greed of Big Production prevented him from covering over the past months.

Because we will NEVER E V E R blame the writers. It's all Business Daddy's fault.

Anyway here is my list of everything HBO stole from us: John Oliver Live Reaction Edition.

Toxic Gossip Train, because holy crap that still feels like a fever dream.

Donald Trump's mugshot, and the return of the We Got Him banner by proxy

The Oceangate incident, because holy crap it's a built in 'gate' debacle and was controlled by a Logitech controller.

The WGA Strike as a whole, because gawd dayumn that would have been some good damn journalisim

X. FUCKING X. Elongated Muskrat as a whole really.

I don't even wanna mention this but Kylie and Kendall debuting with Timothée Chalamet and Bad Bunny respectively because wow.

KING CHUCKY CHEESE'S CORONATION. LIKE WHAT THE HECK THE BRITISH MAN HASN'T COMMENTED YET.

The Grimace Shake, just for the lolz

Plenty more that i just can't think of rn cuz it's 3am i am surprised i am this coherent

And of course.

Of. Course.

The worst, most horrible thing corporate greed took from us when it comes to John Oliver reactions.

BARBIE.

#original content #i love this so much #last week tonight #john oliver #sag afra strike #wga strike #wga strong #reminder the actors are still fighting #when i say barbie i MEAN IT #like. the priest calling god to curse it #and the republican reactions #and BARBIEHEIMER #i will never forgive HBO and all the other shitty-ass production companies by proxy #and i'd already decided that. this just makes it WORSE #important shit #last week tonight with john oliver

it’s actually sick and twisted that harrowhark nonagesimus isn’t the most famous fictional character in the world. no one has ever had the same amount of creepy lesbian swag and no one ever will

#tlt #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #harrowhark nonagesimus #when i say no one is doing it like her i MEAN IT #she’s giving snooty little butch #she’s giving weirdo freak #she’s a genius she’s a hard worker she’s creative #she commits to homoerotism at all times #she’s in love with a dead barbie doll #she’s in love with her childhood menace #she has a weird situationsjop with the only woman alive who is weirder and creepier than her

Has anyone talked about the implications of Riku’s music in Symphony of Sorcery (DDD) being from the Nutcracker and how that relates to him and Sora?? Or perhaps I’m reading too much into it.

#soriku #I have NOOO idea what pastoral is from unfortunately so I can’t say much on Sora’s side but when I recognized the waltz of flowers on Riku’#side of the world I started freaking out because that’s so like; LMAO ITS RIGHT THEREEEE!!! Riku is such a lover boy #The thing that makes it 20x funnier is I had started writing a soriku nutcracker AU two years ago after my friends and I watched the Barbie #version of it; anyways when I feel like it I’m gonna research the nutcracker a bit more and see if I’m piecing something together here #or if I’m reaching #Which I doubt cause I know them boys hearts sing dearly beloved SOOOO the music choices for their worlds certainly mean SOMETHING #maybe

"impure regression" it's therapy, impurity came free with your xbox

#while there isnt a right or wrong way to experience age regression #i will say it defeats the purpose if youre not allowing yourself to feel negative emotions #youre nurturing a safe space for yourself!!! you can be sad or angry. sob throw a fit be sensitive over meaningless things thats the point #regardless of if its a trauma response or a way to destress #if its involuntary or not #its for you. you should feel comfortable #idk i just despise the phrases pure and impure regression #i think people fail to recognize that most people experience age regression #“healing my inner child by buying a barbie i wanted when i was 8”#“making myself feel content by caring for my children the way i wouldve wanted to be”#“my hair got messed up today and suddenly i was 14 again”#“i drank a coke for the first time in years and felt like i was 23 again”#like age regression is such #a normal thing #whether its utilized as therapy or not #i feel like things like agereblr and ageregram or whatever have like #dilluted what it means? i guess #i dont know im yapping #merkitty babbles #sfw interaction only #age regression #inner child healing #sfw agere #agere #safe agere #sfw #age dreaming #agedre

angry at the oscars barbie nominations but in an annoyinger way (i think nominating ryan reynolds makes sense but the best picture and best supporting actress noms are ridiculous)

#sorry but the more i think about it the more i really dislike the movie #ken was funny! he was silly and campy! i really did not care for the rest of the movie!#i just think the more you examine its take on feminism the more it falls apart!#it's inherently about a product! it's inherently personifying a product and making you feel sympathy for and relate to a product!#they are generating hype and engendering sympathy for something they are trying to sell you!#regurgitating second wave feminism without nuance doesn't make it groundbreaking it makes it like. fine i guess?#verilybitchie has a great video that put a lot of my feelings about it into words #idk it did not resonate with me at all and also made me kind of annoyed with how it contributed to the ongoing trend #of gendering things that aren't gendered and focusing on a segregation of gendered perspectives #tired of i'm just a girl! tired of girl dinner! tired of men are always thinking about the roman empire!#sure there are experiences more common to and relevant to women but i get so uncomfy with those kinds of generalizations #even when they're just jokes because after they get repeated enough they stop sounding like ones #just like. when you try to examine it in terms of any kind of intersectionality it falls apart #and i know it's not that serious but like come on. they literally do not once touch on any kind of intersectionality.#you can't be like 'it's a groundbreaking feminist movie!' because they said 'women struggle with misogyny' in 2023 #like i know it's barbie but i don't understand why there's this impulse to say that that's something that's never been said before #just because the president is black doesn't mean you've acknowledged like. racism at all.#just because you have two fat barbies with like four lines doesn't mean you've said anything meaningful about body image #and when you take an openly lesbian actress and give her short hair and make her strange and then have all the other characters #essentially socially exile her and still think she's weird after the resolution!!!#i would say that's like!! implicitly a pretty weird way to write gay people!#i don't want to rain on anyone's parade! it's silly! it's not that serious! i just also think it's not that good!#it's fine! it's fun! but i DO think ken is the best part of the barbie movie and for that i apologize

said it before i say it again. maybe it's less internalized misogyny and more "girls who look and act like this literally bullied me from kindergarten to 12th grade and beyond" so no i would rather not talk to girls who treat female beauty standards as the holy law

#mik talks #if you think criticizing female beauty standards and those who impose them on others = criticizing all women then you might be the sexist #like im so fucking tired of feminism being all about the poor stereotypically beautiful women wearing pink skirts who are soo forced into i #hey what about the girls on the playground who were their perpetual fucking victims in their pursuit of gaining mild power #those who coulkd never even dream of fitting the mold because they werent white or straight or skinny or cis or whatever the fuck #like even the fucking barbie movie is about some beauty standard white blond skinny feminine woman being sad about sexism #this is what many terfs dont understand lul. for some feminity is a cage they dont even fit into #they have no fucking safe area of just performing their societal role #if i see one more 'fixed' 'pick me' comic where they make the author kiss the girl thats based on their bullies i will kill something #yeah blablabla the plastics in mean girls are actually victims yaaalll.... its so sad theyre the real victims......#when will yall accept that stereotypically beautiful (especially white) women still hold power. and are often bullies.#my mom is being harassed at her workspace by her exclusively female colleagues but u tell me again how female spaces are so wholesome #and oh tell me more about the perfect female commune and the matriarchy. god you guys make me sick #oh you felt forced into performing feminity and your friendships seemed a little fake? i was called slurs in 6th grade #they stole my stuff. destroyed my things. hit me. cyberbullied me. but oh you had it so bad #to be clear this is not to say these women hold the same power as men but yeah lets not infantilize girls who CHOSE to put others down #nerdy girls who make fun of popular girls being shallow were never the problem :skull: but you all called them misogynists for being pissed #for being bullied....and wanting to feel some mild sense of superiority in their lower social role

The barbie movie made the most surface level thing for men to understand and they still don't get it

#might detransition if men keep being stupid #not dissing the barbie movie by saying its surface level thats a good thing #barbie movie #they read 'woman are scared in public places and toxic masculinity is made by capitalism' and said that woman wont male slavely be serious #want*#'imagine if the roles were reversed' any movie from 1900 to 2023 is the roles reversed lil bro #barbie #what i took from the movie that allan is trans and im kenough #i feel the same way i did when i first saw way of the house husband #i jus wanna be a stay at home dad house husband i wanna be just ken #surface level means for a general audience in this context

is the full spectrum of worldview interpretations of the Barbie movie evidence that it was ineffectively written and thus, impossible to understand? or is it evidence that we as a population no longer have the ability to interpret a story as it was written? be that through incompetence, ignorance, or total lack of a shared culture

#- HK #hmmm hmmm #some conservatives say it is coherently misandrist #others say it is internally incoherent #michael knowles says it is perfectly coherent as a liberal litany against feminism #but even in his explanation I sense some analogies that don’t consistently bear out #this is why I want to see it. but first I want to watch Lady Bird #however I am broke #mobile #Barbie #as a writer who is almost positive my very purposeful meanings will be misinterpreted by the majority of readers #I’m always wondering if I’m the problem when the day is done

i will never not defend people who like taylor swift. especially towards men.

people who say that kanye made her famous and that swifties are a cult piss me off so much.

“kanye made her famous” he interrupted a 19 year old girl who was WINNING AN AWARD. everyone seems to forget that she was receiving a vma. if he “made her famous” then why was she already being highly praised?

everyone getting upset at swifties, particularly teenage girls, who dress up, dance, have fun at the concert and movie don’t even try to see their point of view. some people treat the movie like the real concert because they didn’t get a chance to go to the concert. this is their concert. a lot of grown men do they exact same thing for sports. except i haven’t seen any swifties breaking things because she didn’t play their favourite song.

why are men allowed to enjoy their sports teams and dress up and yell and even sometimes become violent towards others over results but people can’t publicly enjoy an artist that makes them feel safe and happy.

it’s totally okay for you to not be a fan of her music, not everything is to everyone’s taste. i’ll even admit to enjoying a few kanye songs myself.

the hatred for taylor swift and her fans feels so misogynistic and uncalled for. they aren’t harming you. they’re just having fun. let them do that.

#rant #i’m extremely passionate about this if you couldn’t tell #don’t even get me started on the comment i saw about her using travis for fame #i feel so similarly about barbie being a movie about women for women yet the only thing people talked about was the male character #why can’t women enjoy things #why can’t teenage girls enjoy things #this is what i mean when i say i hate men #feminism #misogyny #taylor swift #swiftie #swifties #the eras tour #eras tour #the eras tour film #it’s time for katie’s opinion #very extremely niche

on further reflection maybe it isn't out of character that i liked the kens over the barbies when a lot of the joke is how the barbies are all blandly nice and hypercompetent which as you may know is like my single most uninterested gender dynamic for fictional characters

#i shouldn't be saying any new opinions without rewatching the movie maybe fan response & hindsight is biasing me but it's like #oh you have men that are allowed to be silly and cringe but the women are all nice and have only minor surface level flaws? cool im bored #and the human characters honestly fall into a similar trope. the human women have *more* personality but still very little.#margot barbie as i remember her didn't really. have any flaws or do anything really wrong but she at least had desires #so she's *better* than the others. none of the other barbies except weird barbie are even distinguishable smh #i mean issa rae had the funniest jokes when she was allowed to speak but that's about it.#avpost #there's a reason the main barbies sequence i can remember is when they pretend to be stupid to get the kens to like mansplain to them #bc it was the one time the female characters were allowed to be like. silly. and not boring or trying to force an unearned serious beat.#unfortunately the idea of bad and/or cringefail women is antithetical to a movie like this but idk that's the characters i actually enjoy .#weird barbie could have at least been cringefail but she's still. hypercompetent too. :-/#idk maybe on repeated viewings ill catch more Subtle Flaw Nuance that makes the female characters less boring to me but #it just feels like based on what the movie was going for they were targeting all my personal least fave female character tropes #well meaning liberal babys first feminism media can fall into this trope of goofy men with competent nice women and its soooo dull.#like not always i have enjoyed my fair share of well meaning liberal baby's first feminism media. i have a soft spot 4 it.#but its usually things where the women have conflict *with each other*. or its horror media. so the women aren't all perfect/nice.

He's literally obsessed with kicking the ball at this kid in this fashion lately... show off..

Bonus of my favourite, precious dansk rotte:

#the way i learn words just to be able to use them when referring to this man..#also if that's not correct? i don't care 😤 come speak my language and find out it's not so fun either #anyway in totally unrelated news today i have that song from Barbie stuck in my head #you know that one that Billie wrote for it? the really depressing one?#yeah that one.. you don't understand the melancholy i'm living with besties..#meanwhile Kasper is posting about the beach on his stories while i'm out here rotting away #and it's sick and twisted because i KNOW he's about to hit that sauna again.. my man *is* obsessed with it.. and he'll never post about it #he'll never drop a little selfie like he did.. totally shirtless... i miss that...#enough sorrow let me get back to work #Kasper Schmeichel #king thicccness #danish captain america #actually now that i think about it..#i could have written min yndlings dansk rotte.. but i don't know how to say precious yet #i'm poor on complimentary vocabulary.. or vocabulary in general 😅#edit to add: learning that that is not correct is hilarious #so if i want to say it that way then I'd have to attach possibly dansk rotte to it too?#because apparently yndling is a noun so you have to add the s and make it into a compound word?#there's also favorit and that's an adjective which makes it simpler because i can just write 'min favorit dansk rotte' but #favorit doesn't necessarily mean it's my personal favourite from what I'm reading and Kaspy is definitely my personal favourite so..#min yndlingsdanskrotte? min yndlingsrotte would likely be more correct? HOW BIG CAN THESE DAMN COMPOUND WORDS GET??#learning is hard and I'm too old and dumb 😔😔😔#i genuinely don't understand this language and it makes me want to cry but anyway 😂

Thank god for Auden, she still refuses to allow angst to get in the way of her fluffy Frey time:

Auden acted on impulse, stood on the tips of her toes to press her lips to Frey's. After a moment in which Frey stood in frozen shock, Auden landed back on her heels and laughed a little at the stunned look on Frey's face.

"Oh, okay, you figured it out, that's cool," Frey muttered, her voice high and tight with blatant shock, and Auden giggled at her. That same glow from before lit Frey's features, a soft golden sheen like candlelight, and her hand tightened around Auden's for a fraction of a moment. Something like relief washed over Frey's face, and she raised her trembling, flour-dusted free hand to trace her fingers over Auden's cheek, silencing her giggles with that touch. "This is cool, right?"

Auden smiled and reached up to press Frey's hand into her own cheek. "If you're asking if this is alright with me, then yes. Honestly, Frey, I'd think you've never courted anyone before."

Frey flattened her hand, pressed her palm against Auden's cheek, and swiped her thumb over her cheekbone, almost absentmindedly. "I mean, not really? I've had a few flings, but nothing really... I dunno. I just don't want to fuck this up."

"You're doing fine, Frey," Auden promised. "Though I won't protest if you decide to kiss me."

"Can I?"

The smile on Auden's face widened into a grin. "I thought that was a blatant invitation. Yes, Frey, you may kiss me."

#WIPpets (WIP snippets)#Forspoken #frey holland #auden keen #freyden #Frey/Auden #me: *smushes my Frey and Auden Barbies together* now kiss #Auden: WAY ahead of you ;)#meanwhile Cuff's being a little shit and ruining the mood for Frey lol #(he actually does his best to give them privacy while they act like teenagers; that's why Frey looked relieved for a second)#(not that he says it like that lol no absolutely not he's just like ''oh this is embarrassing I can't watch this call me when it's over'')#(but Frey picks up on what he really means and she'll sincerely thank him for it later)#(or give him shit)#(either/or)
