[michellexyoon]

WITH: @georgie-abhrams LOCATION: georgie's pool house

Suitcase in tow, the second she’d stepped foot in Georgia, she knew exactly where she was going. Amid the chaos that was her divorce, plans to travel to New Orleans had fallen through. Rather, they’d never been made. But she refused to let her ex-husband dictate how she spent her birthday. The ticket for February 29 was cancelled. Because instead of spending March 1 with her best friends, Michelle had sat across the table from a spiteful son of a bitch that she’d once called the most magnificent love of her life. Happy fucking birthday, Shelly.

It wasn’t her parents that Michelle sought out as she made her way back to Covington. No, she went straight to the Abhrams estate, straight to the friend whose birthday was close enough to hers that it felt like together, they could compensate for how shitty her own had been. Yet she’d found the house empty when she let herself in. Clearly Georgie wasn’t back and though she drifted off to sleep watching the door, she heard no key turn throughout the evening.

It was well past noon when Michelle finally awoke, once again finding no traces of Georgie. She nearly pulled out her phone to ask if she was dead and if so, why the hell she didn’t take Michelle with her. But the doorknob turned, and Michelle, who’d helped herself to breakfast ( or lunch in this case ), turned to face her friend. “You’re early. Don’t tell me you celebrated with bad sex.” Michelle's tone was blasé, as though it was completely normal that she would be here, considering she had dropped in unannounced. “I am vindictive and would wish that on someone else if they weren’t here to welcome me, but never on you.”

//ok actually i wanna talk a bit about some Gender Thoughts for jerry.

i think jerry probably does not use any specific labels for his gender. for all intents and purposes i tend to write him as like... genderfluid but defaulting to he/him pronouns a majority of the time. really though, jerry's gender is Whatever's Funniest In The Moment.

and part of that is b/c i think that vibes with the chaotic energy he has as a character, but part of it is also just! honestly part of jerry's reclamation of his identity after the mathmetists.

'cause like. okay there isn't *a ton* of information about what life as a mathmetist was like for him outside of casual mentions now and then, but there's a lot you can pretty easily assume. for one thing, the emphasis on no one having an identity outside of their purpose in the cult, even down to no one having *names*.

also, i honestly think it's... pretty reasonable to assume that mathmetism had pretty rigid gender roles and social structures. i mean they're implied to be kind of a white supremacist group lmao and WELL- and i only say *kind of* because we don't get a solid look at their ideals outside of what jerry says about them, and jerry seems to have kind of a surface level understanding of mathmetism in a lot of ways. but i mean every mathmetist we see is white and blond and that is very clearly intentional.

and sidenote jerry not fully understanding the cult's philosophy makes him being the only surviving mathmetist *incredibly* funny b/c no one can correct him now about any of it.

but anyway okay- so one thing with jerry i think about a lot is that like... post-mathmetism, he has a bit of a fluid sense of identity. he responds to almost every name people use for him and changes his name on a dime. and yeah, that's mostly played as a joke and not taken seriously, especially because he always goes back to being jerry very quickly, but it's interesting to me!

and furthermore, i think that extends to gender. he has no problem being feminine and doesn't seem particularly hard-pressed to appear traditionally masculine, which ofc doesn't necessarily mean he's got Funky Gender but i am choosing to read into it. i think, after having his identity stripped away from him, he's choosing to reclaim himself by completely throwing out the version of himself that he was *supposed* to be. and that applies to his gender as well--he's fully embracing being weird and wild and i love that for him.

jerry's gender is "eh" and "whatever" and "a man with extra spice" and "a woman but like when it's funny" and most of all "whatever he wants to be, because jerry is jerry and nothing can change that."

During a rewatch of Lupin Zero with a friend, I got curious about something. So after overlapping some of the OST for Lupin Zero, I am like 85% sure that the song that plays over the heart scene in EP5 is a slightly reworked version of the song "Lupin's Heart"(which plays for the first time in EP1 during the scene Jigen is shot).

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

now more than ever I think it's important for people to remember that puberty blockers *were* the compromise position.

if you start from a position that trans people should have equal rights in society, then it becomes obvious that all the faux concern about "irreversible changes" is utter bs, because puberty itself is irreversible, and these people want all trans people to be forced to go through the wrong one

the people calling for our healthcare to be banned don't give a single solitary fuck about the "irreversible changes" that they want every single trans person to be forcibly subjected to
