You know, I feel like other trans people might get this, but it's honestly kind of refreshing when a cis person has, like, undeniable tboy/tgirl/whatever swag. It's like when you come across somebody who speaks the same language as you and you only find out when they start speaking it, too.

You know, I've been stuck thinking about that poll that asked people how long they've had their blogs on there, with the 10+ years result not only being high, but being the winner of the poll.

And I'm thinking of the state of the website and the lack of interactions on it.

All this time people have been saying the reason reblogs dwindled was not only due to the results of cringe culture crusades of back then, but because "there are so many new users and they just don't respect our Old Ways, they don't reblog or interact, curse the newcomers"

Well if that post is to be believed, we actually should point at us, the old users, for giving up on what made this website a goldmine of sharing and visibility back in the day.

The new users failing to interact have the excuse of not knowing how this place works and not being used to the site culture (though that's arguable, given they probably copy today's culture, which is to not reblog much at all), but you elders? You've seen what was possible and what used to work. You've seen reblogs taking posts far and wide, you've seen when comments in tags were very common and encouraged further creation. And yet you've stopped doing that?

Yall gave up on a good thing for no reason.

Today I offer you the following headcanon/scenario: Hob dislikes Shakespeare and criticises him, but not because he's jealous of Dream walking off with him in 1589... no, it's because he genuinely thinks the man was a talentless hack.

Let me elaborate.

Hob does like Shakespeare's plays, and grudgingly admits they're the work of a "half-decent playwright", judging from the 1789 scene. He does appreciate the craftsmanship.

The only trouble: Hob is of the opinion that it's not technically Will's work at all. It's His Stranger who had... well, some hand, at least, in the creation of those masterpieces, and Hob hates that Shakespeare gets the sole credit.

(Now, to be clear, I do think that all Dream did was lend Shakespeare support and inspiration and the power to put his own dreams and imaginations into words. It's absolutely still William Shakespeare's work at the core, and Dream's involvement is hardly much more than in any other story ever written - but Hob doesn't know exactly how this works, does he?)

Imagine his frustration. Imagine people praising Shakespeare as a genius in front of him, and Hob bursting to say "actually, he was total shite until he sold his soul or something to the maybe-devil in exchange for talent". He thinks he's the only human in the world who knows The Truth About Will Shaxberd, and it drives him mad that any attempt to explain it would make him sound like some conspiracy nut.

It's the sort of thing that could drive a man to irrationally hate a playwright and his ill-gotten gains, it really could.

(Which is highly hypocritical of him, seeing as he himself enjoys the boon of that very same maybe-devil - well, his sister’s, actually, not that Hob knows that - but it's aBOUT THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING-)

And that's how Hob ends up as his university's #1 Shakespeare Hater.

.

And perhaps, Dream eventually explains to him who he is and how his boons work, and Hob suddenly realises he has to revise his entire spiteful opinion of William Shakespeare, who may have had a certain spark of talent of his own, after all...

And then, groping desperately for some reason to cling on to his increasingly irrational dislike of the man, Hob recalls how Will stole his date back in 1589, and breathes a sigh of relief at the realisation that he can carry on hating Shakespeare just as much as before, only now for a different reason.

(Not that saying "I hate Shakespeare because he stole my boyfriend" will make him sound any less like a nutter than insisting his talent came from magical intervention... but, well, it's a step in the right direction, isn’t it.)

"The Obi-Wan show destroyed the timeline cause Vader thought Obi-Wan was dead in A New Hope" he literally did not say anything to indicate he thought that. He sensed Obi-Wan's presence and immediately went up to Tarkin and very confidently said "hey btw Obi-Wan Kenobi is here I'm gonna go fuckin kill him thought you oughta know" and Tarkin was the one who was like "but he must be dead" and Vader was like "nah we have ex-bestie esp if he was dead I'd know" and then he found Obi-Wan in the hallway and was like "hey there long time no see you old ass son of a bitch" and then bragged a bunch about how powerful he is and then killed him. Like he literally never expresses surprise that Obi-Wan's alive in that movie, just initial surprise that he's there on the Death Star.

Season Four Was Doomed.

It was done and over as soon as "Just Dunk Me" and "Don't Get Eaten" faded out and tossed into the garbage like so much spoiled fish. When they ended so did any hopes the show would pull out of the death spiral Laura Neal and her writers put it into.

The first two episodes were big flashing red lights of impending suck. I didn't recognize the characters. I mean, I knew it was Sandra and Jodie and Fiona, but I didn't recognize who the hell they were supposed to BE. Nobody was acting the way their characters had acted for the past three seasons.

The first two episodes were the worst of Killing Eve's entire run. I'd like to delete both of them and get a do-over. How in the hell does any writer just drop the audience into a story seven months from where the previous season ended and later say, "I like not knowing what happened" the way Laura Neal did.

Laura Neal, you are the head writer of the show! If YOU don't know what happened between Eve and Villanelle WHO THE FUCK DOES? 🥺

Start off wrong and it is tough to get right. The season didn't find its legs until the fifth or sixth episode or so, but by then it was far too little, way too late.

The way Neal refused to provide any explanation of what happened between Eve and Villanelle between where we left them on the bridge and all this ugliness from Eve toward Villanelle months later is inexplicable. It's like a master class in what not to do with an audience that has been waiting nearly two years to find out what comes next.

Neal seemed both oblivious as to following up on and filling in the blanks for an episode she co-wrote to end Season 3 and contemptuous of the audience's need--not want--to know.

Neal figured she'd put Eve on a Ducati and forget that we've never seen her on a motorcycle, give her a big-ass gun, and let her drive into Russia to hunt down Konstantin. Plunk Villanelle down in a church somewhere and make her so desperate for "redemption" that she is going to start having hallucinations that she sees herself as Jesus. Oh, and if triggering the Catholics isn't enough, let's have Villanelle kill a cat and piss off the PETA crowd too!

I don't know what sort of heavy-duty drugs you have to be on to think any of that b.s. was brilliant, but I would love to have been around Sandra and Jodie when they got their scripts. They have to had called each other up and said, "Can you believe this shit?"

Anti caryl (?) post so just a heads up I guess. 🤦🏼‍♀️

"Everyone that looks at Daryl and Carol sees them as a romantic thing, they just have that vibe to them, most people don't look at them and think friends, everyone always assumes there will be more between them or they end up wanting more"
