the James Somerton thing really shows how hard people are willing to go to bat for a white cis guy who seems to say all the right things and makes content they like no matter how much everyone else has proof of them being a bad person. That is, until a more popular white cis guy who says all the right things calls them out.
This isn't a criticism of Hbomberguy at all, but of everyone else for refusing to listen to the voices of the people James hurt until Hbomb made it cool. This happens all the time and is still happening and it drives me insane. Y'all need to do better.

i love huskerdust because at the end of season one if you really look at it i think it’s safe to say there’s definitely feelings there between the two (if you really wanna argue husk even though i think he does fine but angel is so obviously down bad) but i think the question is more like. have they even fully realized they have feelings for each other. i can just see angel and husk staying up real late at the bar one night and angel going back to his room all warm and fuzzy and laying down and being like. shit.
i think husk just kinda accepts things more as they come but what do i know.

and for my most controversial take yet... i don't think Five/Lila was out of character either.
like... idk, Lila's always known that Five is an old man. he's physically a whole ass adult when they first get stuck in the subway, and even moreso when they spend years down there. they're trapped in Time Hell with no clear way home and only each other for real company.
they've always been sorta character foils or parallels to each other or whatever. they have very similar caustic senses of humor and strong senses of pragmatism and deep capacities for love that beget deep hurt that they hide under a veneer of cockiness.
in the circumstances they're in... i think Five sees Lila as a sort of Dolores, and Lila sees Five as a Diego-alike. and idk, they're both razor sharp and miserable and time-universe-displaced. i see the vision! i think it's compelling!
now is it weird that they're in-laws and in a romantic relationship? indubitably, more than Luther and Allison's love affair even. (somehow. to me.) but tua's fuckin weird, look what show you're watching, my guys.

You know I think there is something interesting to say in terms of where the fuck WxS is going because like
I think WxS is the only unit where the end goal or overall progression is probably the most unknown out of all of them ???
MMJ and VBS are extremely obvious, they both have the most explicit goals that are said to us in a straightforward way
25-ji, in the end we know the main goal at the end will be for all of the characters to go over their hurdles with Mafuyu finally being able to find herself and move forward
Leo/need is probably the closest in terms of vagueness but we know the end goal is clear for them to grow as a band, probably ending in a big concert or something along those lines
But with WxS...like I guess the closest thing I can see to an end goal is all of WxS preparing a show together with everyone playing their part but that definitely doesn't feel like something you'd build up for an entire arc and definitely not something that feels fitting after the emotional turmoil that was the disbandement arc ???
In terms of physical achievements as well they literally revived an entire parc through one gigantic show, so it just comes into question what they can do now.
Then you look at their first few event for this arc considering usually the first event kinda set up what will be planned for the future but it's...weird.
Yeah, Tsukasa and Rui's events set up they're inexperienced and how they will grow in the future but also there is this weird feeling of something feeling off ?
The plays/scripts all are strangely depressing, the play in Tsukasa's event being about a failed writer planning to drown himself (which I believe is one of the only undeniable explicit description of suicide ever in the game?????) and the second being someone whose given up on life meeting their estranged sister only for her to become ill.
We even have Emu's side story in Rui's event where they watched the movie Rin was watching during the event made by the same producer and Emu herself note how depressing the story is (meanwhile the main character of the movie clearly parallels Rui)
We don't see the conclusion of these in-game stories as well, lingering on their worst moment never really seeing the presumably happy conclusion.
THEN we also have Emukasa fes which....again strangely different in tone from what you'd expect a WxS fes card, they're not really all that conclusive either. Tsukasa never aknowledges how he relates to the brother in the story and Emu doesn't really get a conclusion on her grief.
Then we also have Rui's entire fuckign event with the cards and his cyberpunk deadbo-YOU SEE WHAT IM SAYING
The closest we fucking have to knowing what WxS's fucking endgoal towards the story is, is fucking WL which....TELLS US NOTHING
At least with VBS we know that they're goal is to go even further beyond and conquer the whole world, that is a developpement of their goal.
What I'm saying is I don't know what the fuck colorpalet is cooking wiht WxS but I feel like i'm a fucking twilight zone reading the way they're writing WxS now because I can't be the only one feeling insane at how weird all of this is
