#Burt bad boy

[williamwheeler]

we talk a lot about how before blaine, kurt had never met another gay teen (who was out, that is), and how isolated that made him feel. but what about how the only gay person that kurt knew in real life (as far as we know) was sandy ryerson, a self-proclaimed “predatory gay,” that we're introduced to for the first by seeing him touching a student inappropriately

thinking about how kurt's crush on finn is twisted into some form of harassment even though we only saw him... what? sign him a song? staring at him a bit? introduce their parents to each other, surely as some sort of evil stratagem to get closer to finn and seduce him??? how is that worse than, say, finn – in front of god and everyone –singing i want jessie's girl while circling rachel, or coming up with a scheme to make quinn feel pressured into kissing him?

well i don't think it's worse, but, according to burt, since kurt “wasn't afraid to show” his crush, it makes it more justifiable for finn to sling around slurs (for what will unfortunately not be the last time)

and then kurt's interest in sam and desire to sing a song with him is somehow distorted into him “not understanding that no means no,” even though sam said YES! he ACCEPTED! no means no but sam didn't say it!!!!! and then burt, the one person who's supposed to know kurt better than anyone, agrees with finn, that maybe kurt is being pushy and “taking advantage” of poor sam

“so a gay guy can't be friendly to a straight guy without being predatory?” yes, kurt was attracted to sam and wanted to spend some time with him. but he would never force himself on him in any way. that doesn't matter, though, because even the people who are supposed to be the closest to him, who are supposed to see him for who he is, still don't get him. kurt's treated as if he has some sort of disease or if he's a threat; he's treated as if he's sandy ryerson

similarly, when blaine reveals his crush on sam to tina he feels the need to say “i'm not some predatory gay, so nothing's gonna happen.” and this makes me wonder if blaine has also had previous experiences of crushing on straight boys in the past, and if he was also ostracized for it. even if he hasn't, he clearly knows how society perceives a gay guy crushing on a straight guy

i just hate to think of these two lonely boys being isolated and mistreated for feelings that they can't control, that they don't even plan to act on, and being treated like predators for it

I threw some stuff at the wall until Rhydenach and Trahearne smoochies in Orr emerged <3

One thing that makes my life oh so hard is that I don't actually care for most of the popular dupes that much. I don't Not like them to be clear, I do like them, I just also feel like I'm staring at a color blind test whenever I see ppl talk abt their favorite dupes and everyone involved is obsessed with the same like 3 dupes that I just sort of like well enough and nothing more. Sorry women I don't actually care abt Bubbles that much 😔

Lucy's telepathic connection with her spirits is so underused, especially because it would let her grow her bond with her spirits without having to summon them

My girlfriend is a DID system, so all my thoughts about this are DID adjacent lmao

Just living life:

Lucy wakes up and has a debate with Cancer about which outfit she wears. This is daily and nonnegotiable

Levy spots her best friend when she comes into the guild and excitedly walks up and greets her, only for Lucy to not respond at all. She tries a couple of times, seeing that Lucy is clearly spacing out, only for Lucy to jump when she sees Levy. Apologizing because she was talking to Aries and forgot the outside world existed for a few seconds there.

Lucy is walking with her team. Natsu and Gray are arguing, Erza is teaching Wendy how to read maps or something (and also contemplating murdering the two behind her), and Lucy, who was lagging in the back, randomly burts out laughing bc Gemini told her a joke

Lucy and Loke are sitting pretty far away from each other at the guild, and both of them stand up to start shouting at each other because they absolutely got into an argument (some massively stupid shit, probably like which outfit Mirajane modeled in this week's edition of sorcerer's magazine was the best stupid shit) and they accidently scare the shit out of everyone around them

Lucy dances around on the river bank edge, scaring the poor guys that always warn her not to fall because Lyra is playing music for her in her head

She is literally never late to anything. Never over sleeps. Never. This is 100% because of Horologium and Capricorn and 100% agaisnt her will, but it does give her an impeccable reputation so she's not too mad

If you think Aquarius, Loke, Virgo, and Gemini wouldn't pop in to randomly give commentary on her life, you'd he so wrong. Their all nosey ass bitches and the celestial spirit world is boring, they need their drama somehow

Aquarius will randomly pop up when Lucy talks to a cute boy to ask her why she isn't shooting shot, much to Lucy's loathing. It gets worse when Loke starts doing the same thing but for women. Why are you bi yourself Lucy??? She hates them both

Gemini will show up, say the most impulsive terrible idea ever, and then immediately leave, just letting Lucy sit with that. Have a nice rest of your day. That or they say some gruesome shit while she's in the middle of a fight. Kids, please lighten up

Lucy knows in her heart that when she asks a rhetorical question and Virgo answers that Virgo is actively trying to scare her. She fucking has Virgo's number. She can pretend to be emotionless outside of being a masochist, but Lucy knows she's a little fucking shit

While on jobs:

Lucy is fighting a mage with her whip, trying to figure out what kind of magic they're using so she can properly pick a spirit to counter them and Virgo just pops in like "It's wax magic, princess", scaring the living shit out of Lucy but also helping her in the battle

Lucy is wandering around during a job, sees some big footsteps, and Sagittarius is like, "Those are Tarasque tracks." Unprompted and Lucy starts bemoaning her stupid baka life where she has to fight shit like Tarasques

She could set up some truly bullshit turnarounds with Loke's ability to summon himself. No!! Bad guy!!! I'm running to this dead end all alone :( and my hands are nowhere near my keys :( I'm so scared. Pov: Loke appears right the fuck behind them

Not to mention Loke's ability to switch out with other spirits and have other spirits switch out with him??? If other people couldn't hear them talk, they could do all sorts of insane shit. It would be so much fun. That time Loke blinded Bixslow, and she got his ass except more and funnier bc they know it's coming even less

Also, the spirits' ability to shapeshift is underused. Lucy summons Taurus during a guild brawl. Everyone is expecting a bull man, and no one expects a literal giant bull. She wins that fight, thank you

She takes a job in the desert, and Scorpio is like??? Insanely knowledgeable about how to survive, which shouldn't be surprising now that Lucy is looking back on it, but man, is she happy to have someone who knows exactly what their doing

This isn't always helpful. A village describes a problem to her, and all her spirits end up in a round table discussion about what creature or magic is most likely to actually cause this problem, giving her a massive headache. Guys please shut the fuck up and have this conversation literally anywhere else, thank you

so high school ━━━ atsumu miya

39. petty ♡

The sun peaks through Atsumu's curtains, brightening up the darkness behind your eyelids. You groan, rolling over to pull Atsumu closer to you. When you reach out and feel nothing but the bed, you sigh knowing that you should probably get up if even he was awake before you.

You grab one of Atsumu's hoodies from its spot on the floor, giving it a quick sniff before pulling it down over your head. You take a quick glance in his mirror, flattening down your hair in an attempt to look the least bit presentable. You pull the door open, hearing far-off whispers from the kitchen. You try to strain and catch what's being said, assuming Atsumu's telling them about last night's confession, yet you can't hear what anyone's saying.

Rubbing at your eyes to clear the sleep from them, you make your way towards the voices. "Morning!" you call through, the talking stopping.

"Uh- mornin', angel!" Atsumu calls back to you before whispering something else. He steps in front of you before you can enter the room, a sheepish smile on his face. "How'd ya sleep?"

You smile up at him. "Pretty good. I'm starving though, can I get through?"

Atsumu looks behind himself and tightens his grip on the doorframe, pausing before stammering out a reply. "Um, why don't I bring it out to ya? Go back to bed!"

You furrow your eyebrows, trying to see past him. "What are you hiding?"

He shakes his head, tries to assure you it's nothing. "It's okay, angel. I'll take it to ya-"

You manage to get him to move out of the way, revealing to you the kitchen full of your friends. You feel yourself shrink when their eyes all set on you.

Atsumu rests his back against the counter, pulling you towards him and draping his arms around your neck whilst you faced the boys. "Tell her what ya just told me," he says, narrowing his eyes at them all.

"We are all so sorry for how we reacted," Wakatoshi starts, straightening up his posture on the other side of the room. "We acted like children. We should have heard you out."

"We thought you were making up the entire relationship, and you slipped up on the story. And then when you came in still all loving with him, we thought that... We thought so wrong. We were thinking, at least own up to it. But we should have given you the chance to explain yourself at the game. You must have felt so..." Kuroo trails off, eyes settling on the floor.

Kageyama takes a step forward, his hands shoved inside of his pockets. "When Atsumu told us what dicks we were, we snapped back into reality. I- I'm sorry. I am. I was thinking that we'd fought over nothing and I was hurt. I thought you were throwing our friendship away for a fake relationship. I feel like even more of a dick than I was already being."

You press your lips together in a tight line, a futile attempt to stop your tears from falling. You lean back fully against Atsumu and smile a little. "You guys must feel really bad if he's said the words I'm sorry."

Kageyama laughs along with you, removing a hand from his pocket and wiping the sweat from his forehead. "More exhausting than the match yesterday. Can I go lie down?"

You look up at Atsumu and smile. He uses one of his thumbs to wipe away your tears before dropping his arm back in place.

"Right, not to ruin yer moment, but I need to go to practice. Can I trust ya not to turn on y/n before I come back?"

"Depends on how much she talks about you, Tobio needs time to recover from his embarrassing loss yesterday."

Atsumu burts out laughing at Wakatoshi's comment, kissing your cheek before making his way out. Before he leaves, he turns with a wide smile. "Make sure ya talk about me a lot. Ya need revenge on them!"

You roll your eyes at him, pushing yourself to sit up on the kitchen counter. Your eyes drift over everyone, trying to fight your smile.

"So, you love him?" Kenma speaks up for the first time, leaning forward to look past Kuroo.

The smile creeps out despite your attempt to compress it. "I... I'm getting there. I'm almost there," you admit, resting your hands in your lap.

"When I ask this, it's not a dig," Tobio clarifies, clearing his throat. "Does he treat you well? Genuinely?"

You nod your head quickly. "He does. He's the best. He's such a sweetheart, nothing like what everyone says. I can tell that when he says he loves me that he's telling the truth. He shows it all the time, too. I managed to get him to watch horror movies with me. He's agreed to watch the Saw franchise, I don't know how I did that. I'm proud of myself." You turn your attention to Wakatoshi. "I can't believe you took me out of your twitter bio."

He lowers his head, Kuroo dramatising a gasp. "I'm sorry. I feel-"

"I'm only teasing. But still, that was a new level of petty, I love it," you interrupt, waving your hand. "Wakatoshi, you are now officially my number one hype man."

Tobio's jaw drops, turning his head between the pair of you. He scoffs, crossing his arms over his chest. "I can't believe how easy you replaced me. I've hardly been gone."

"Hey, be lucky any of you are even in here right now. Atsu was pissed. What did he say to you guys?"

Kenma raises an eyebrow. "You don't know?"

Shaking your head, you look around them all suspiciously. "I didn't even know he spoke to you guys. I thought he just had to do something with his team."

"He pointed out we treated you like shit. He slapped Ushiwaka with his words. He also kept calling you the love of his life," Kenma says, shrugging his shoulders. "It was gross. But he was right. We all feel like shit for what we did."

“As long as next time you guys actually hear me out, then we’re fine,” you joke, lowering yourself off the kitchen counter. “Now, how about we watch a movie? That way, we don’t upset Kags by talking too much about my boyfriend who destroyed his team yesterday?”

summary. after your best friend reveals he’s moving out of your shared flat, you’re presented with a tough choice: let one of the creeps who are begging you to let them move in with you, or find a cheaper flat in another area of town. a do-over couldn’t have come at a better time for you, but your only option for a place to stay is with someone your best friend knew from high school, and his two teammates.

Post-Oscars blathering.

-Host Conan O'Brien had treats for attendees.

-I felt bad for Jeremy Strong who lost out on Best Supporting for his incredible job as Roy Cohn in THE APPRENTICE. But I had far greater sympathy for the poor dog during the SNL 50th skit who just wanted petting from Adam Driver's huge paws. I mean, I yearn for Anora/Ani and Igor

but the dog really yearned for those huge mitts.

-Rumoured divorcé Dan Stevens made the rounds with Natasha Lyonne, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hari Neff and his CUCKOO costar Hunter Schafer. I'm hoping he sloppily made out with Hunter and Hari.

He has great taste, ladies.

-Oscars night was a time for reunions

Last year Best Actor winner Cillian Murphy was able to present to his one-time PEAKY BLINDERS costar Adam Brody.

Cillian was so happy to escape the press line and just present!

Little did he know that Brody would give the longest speech in Oscar history.

At least you looked good, Cillian.

GHOST costars Whoopi Goldberg and Demi Moore.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK costars Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg.

Garfield and rumoured paramour Monica Barbaro afterwards.

THE LITTLE MERMAID's Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King.

CONCLAVE's Carlos Dietz with Isabella Rossellini (and Laura Dern).

Oscar presenters WHEN HARRY MET SALLY costars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan.

Brady Corbett and his THE BRUTALIST composer Daniel Blumberg.

Blumberg looking like the twin cousin of ANORA's Yura Borisov.

Isabella Rossellini reuniting with her potion prop from DEATH BECOMES HER.

Isabella Rossellini is a "nepo" baby, but here are some of the latest scions.

Milo Manheim - Son of Camryn, star of Paramount+'s SCHOOL SPIRITS.

Charlie Foster - Son of Jodie Foster. He will appear in the upcoming Amazon Prime series SCARPETTA starring classic nepo baby Jamie Lee Curtis and Nicole Kidman.

Kidman recently worked with the daughter of her MOULIN ROUGE costar Ewan McGregor in the film BABYGIRL. Esther McGregor played Kidman's oldest daughter. Esther can also be seen in Pedro Almodovar's THE ROOM NEXT DOOR.

THE WHITE LOTUS S3 star Sam Nivola (son of Alessandro (The Brutalist) and Emily Mortimer (Paddington in Peru). He is dating Iris Apatow (daughter of Judd and Leslie Mann). Sam and his sister May were also in Noah Baumbach's WHITE NOISE playing the children of Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig; and Sam played son of Bradley Cooper's Leonard Bernstein in MAESTRO (which also starred Maya Hawke, son of Ethan and Uma Thurman).

There's also Asa Germann of Amazon Prime Video's GEN V (son of Gregg German (Grey's Anatomy, Ally McBeal). The series also featured Patrick Schwarzeneggar.

A sure entry to the entertainment industry for many a celebrity child is modeling. That's the path Deva Cassel (the eldest daughter of Vincent Cassel (who has just had his latest child; a boy, with partner Narah Baptista) and Monica Bellucci) forged after years of spending time with her mother on photo shoots.

Now she is acting. She can be currently be seen Netflix's IL GATTOPARDO/ THE LEOPARD; a six-part adaptation of the classic Italian novel, which was made into a three-hour film starring Burt Lancaster.

Masterlist of every single Mike and Kurt/Chummel Moment + thoughts and observations

Currently incomplete…will update as I come across any

Season 1

Preggers: Mike is seen during the dance practice for Single Ladies. We can only assume this was the most fun he ever had in his life up until that point and it awakened something inside of him which caused him to join the glee club which forever changed the trajectory of his life.

Vitamin D: Mike attempts to tickle Kurt at the end of It’s My Life/These Are My Confessions II. Or something of that nature. Very cute to me since Kurt had just been standing away from the other boys not interacting.

Throwdown: When Kurt says they do an awful lot of showtunes, Mike smiles in agreement. Kurt sighs when Will tells Mike his pop and locking isn’t what they’re looking for. United in disappointment for Will. Also in Sue’s kids together I think that counts…side note I really love the Kurt and Matt interactions in Hate On Me very very cute.

Wheels: Along with Tina, Artie, and Mercedes, Mike is seen with Kurt before the competition, presumably to support him. Otherwise he could have been sitting with everyone else…

Ballad: They stand next to and point to each during Lean On Me.

Mattress: They stand next to each other for the yearbook picture…sort of…

Hell-O: Despite being initially annoyed by Rachel’s performance of Gives You Hell, he looks impressed by Mike’s dancing and only joins in with everyone else after that.

The Power Of Madonna: They sit next to each other during Express Yourself. They stand next to each other during What It Feels Like For A Girl.

Home: They sit next to each other during the first glee club meeting this episode and Kurt passes some music sheets over to Mike.

Bad Reputation: Kurt sits behind Mike and Matt. I’m counting this.

Theatricality: Mike, along with Artie, is one of the only boys to clap for the girls and Kurt after Bad Romance. Not exactly a Real moment but Harry/“Mike” was also apart of the performance of this song when they did it on tour.

Journey to Regionals: they are…near each other when they’re at Will’s house for the first annual New Directions Regionals Setlist Nominations Party (they never had this party ever again.)

Season 2

Audition: They’re near each other several times during Empire State of Mind. Kurt, along with Mercedes and Tina, high fives Mike while he spins around during What I Did For Love.

Britney/Brittany: Not a Murt moment but Mike did not seem to be into the idea of doing Britney songs…Mike and Tina look over at Kurt when he says Will’s choice in music isn’t easy to relate to as teens... Mike tries not to laugh when Kurt tells Will off…

Grilled Cheesus: Mike pats Kurt’s shoulder after they all find out about Burt. They sit next to each other when Finn talks about finding god.

Duets: Mike, along with Tina and Brittany, helps Kurt with his Le Jazz Hot performance‼️ He’s one of the backup dancers. Kurt is perplexed by Mike’s singing in Sing! Mike smiles during Happy Days are Here Again/Get Happy…invested in Kurt’s happiness…

Rocky Horror Glee Show: They sit next to each other during one of the rehearsals.

Never Been Kissed: Kurt sits next to Mike when Will tells him the join the boys for the girls vs boys competition. Mike looks up when Puck tells Kurt to go bother the other show choirs, and looks at Finn, surprised, when Kurt says fine.

The Substitute: they run around the paino during Forget You. I mean all the boys did but Kurt is right behind Mike…

Furt: Mike, along with Artie, stands up to Karofsky for Kurt‼️ He tells Karofsky they’re serious and this is a warning, slams his locker, and tells him to back off. Mike shakes his head when Kurt announces he’s transferring. So devastated he was speechless.

Special Education: Mike enjoys the performance of Hey Soul Sister yes I’m counting this.

A Very Glee Christmas: Mike wears a scarf while walking in the halls with Tina and Mercedes. I can only assume this is an homage to Kurt and not because it’s winter.

Silly Love Songs: Mike, along with Mercedes, Tina, and Rachel, smile and are proud of Kurt when he introduces the Warblers at Breadstix.

Night of Neglect: Kurt and Blaine stand up to clap for Mike’s performance.

Born This Way: Mike shakes his head disapprovingly when Figgins brings Karofsky to the glee club. Mike cheers for Kurt when he transfers back in. I think that’s his voice saying “we back!” at the end of this scene.

Rumours: Mike whispers in Kurt’s ear during the last song to take away Sam’s guitar.

Prom Queen: Tina tells Mike she feels so bad for Kurt and Mike looks at Kurt forlornly.

Okay that’s all I got from my notes … from now on I’ll be relying on memory and my livetweet thread for moments but I’ll go back to this when I rewatch seasons 3+ 📝

Season 3

I Am Unicorn: Mike says Kurt only has one move and “It’s like this…sashay. And it’s super distracting.”

I Kissed A Girl: Mike votes for Kurt for class president‼️🗳️ I always consider this a pretty big Murt moment since arguably Mike should have been closer to Brittany. He didn’t even hesitate either ♥️

Extradordinary Merry Christmas: Mike looks at Kurt while Artie describes his holiday special idea.

Heart: They sit at the same lunch table. They don’t interact or look at each other at all but I’m writing it down anyway. They both dance for Artie’s song for Sugar, next to each other a few times.

On My Way: Sit next to each other when Will asks what they’re looking forward to in the future.

Big Brother: Sit next to each other when the group is discussing senior ditch day ideas. Sit next to each other during Cooper’s Acting Masterclass. There’s a considerable distance between their chairs but that’s only because if they sat too close together the force of their magnetic chemistry would destroy the choir room.

Dance with Somebody: Mike is incredibly invested in the Klaine drama.

Goodbye: Mike closeup during I Remember. Their dads high five at graduation. Yes. I’m counting this too.

Season 4

Thanksgiving: Mike says he knows Blaine has been texting Kurt, but Kurt won’t text back. While this might seem like a Bike moment, there is Murt there for those with the eyes to see...

Wonder-ful. They hug when Kurt comes back. ‼️ and Kurt is holding on Mike and Mercedes’ arms as they skip into the choir room together omg ♥️ They sit next to each other during I Wish, and Mike tells Kurt the performance will work to increase Jake’s confidence for Nationals (I think?) and then asks where Mercedes is. They talk to Mercedes about her CD’s photoshoot, and share a look at the end of the scene. Kurt smiles when Mike says he knows what Mercedes meant when she’s talking all LA. Kurt tells him not to change the wording when Mike says hell to the yes. When Mike asks Blaine about the vaporub thing with Tina Kurt gets annoyed and yells “this doesn’t matter!!!”. Why are they wearing nearly the exact same outfit during Superstition. They sit together during Higher Ground. It seems they sit together quite a few times this episode but I don’t feel like rewatching it outside of YouTube clips yet to figure out how many times. Lots of hater energy in the air for this one which is devastating for the Murt community given how significant this episode is to the Murt universe but whatever. It’s called playful banter. In general what a win for MikecedesKurt fans…drgaf about Blaine’s involvement here….

Season 5

New Directions: Kurt looks at Mike during Party All The Time. When they’re clapping for Becky at graduation, Mike looks over at Kurt. I’m so sorry this is all I’ve got at the moment.

Thoughts and Observations and Miscellaneous

While never confirmed (though I wouldn’t say it’s such a stretch to say it’s implied?) I do like the idea that Mike and Matt joined glee club specifically because they had so much fun during the Single Ladies dance. (This is where it gets more headcanon-y) Which means Kurt is basically the reason they joined glee club. In Journey to Regionals, Mike says that before glee, he was too scared to dance outside of his room, and so by melding together Mike’s two passions, Kurt was able to help Mike overcome that fear…

I like how much Mike loves the glee club. Not in it for ulterior motives, never leaves or wavers in his support, he was just in it for the love of the game until the very end.

I think there’s something kind of sweet how Mike is one of Kurt’s backup dancers in Le Jazz Hot, despite the fact that he’s also a guy and they make it a point in the episode that singing with Kurt might as well be a death sentence. I mean yes it sort of only exists because the song called for backup dancers and they weren’t going to dwell too long on why it’s okay for guys to dance with Kurt but not sing with him but Regardless…this + Mike standing up for Kurt goes to show he CARES♥️ When Rachel says there are 12 people who love him, Mike confirmed for being one of them for sure…

Speaking of, with Mike joining Le Jazz Hot, clapping for the girls + Kurt during Bad Romance (+ being apart of the song during tour. If you can count that. Which I will.), and being excited to play Frank-N-Furter and only pulling out when his parents said he couldn’t, all these things read to me as if Mike didn’t seem too hung on having such rigid views of masculinity like Finn or the other guys had. I think that’s something Kurt would appreciate idk.

MIKE AND KURT CHUU HEART DO IT!!!!!!!

During Britney/Brittany Mike is decidedly not for Britney week as he pretends to fall asleep at the idea of it. A bit surprising…still as I wrack my brain for members who were closest to Kurt at this time and would join his Facebook campaign, I think it would be Mercedes, Tina, Artie (yes, Artie, they were friends in season 1, though he looked annoyed when Kurt first started talking…he’s hyped for Britney), and Rachel (I believe Kurt accepted her friend request after the events of Hairography). Brittany is possibly the closest to Kurt after that but she clearly was not into the idea of Britney week so I don’t think she would join just because, and I don’t see Quinntana joining either, Santana out of solidarity for Brittany and I just don’t see Quinn or any of the other boys joining, so I’ve decided Tina made Mike join. This is a very stupid paragraph so please disregard what you just read.

Though Mike’s not really given much of a character, a trait of his that stands out to me the most is that he’s MESSY he loves DRAMA and sometimes he’ll even instigate it himself (getting mad at Beiste even though he’s the one who told Tina about the whole thing in NBK, happily joining in the food fight in TPPP, throwing papers aggressively at Finn and Puck in The Substitute, confirming to Sam that the song is called Trouty Mouth in Original Songs, and his general behavior in DWS) and so I think Kurt and him could have fun gossiping perhaps.

They’re both Rachel fanboys ig (Kurt: his entire character. Mike: saying Finchel is the winning guarantee in New York, what he says to Tina in props). They can bond over that.

Just realizing they’re probably called chummel actually…I changed the title but I love the purposeful ugliness of Murt

The fact that this edit exists. Beautiful amazing 10/10. My review:

[commiegoth]

Okay at this point I gotta be real: season 2 of Severance has not been nearly as strong as season 1 for me. But I feel like a lotta the criticism I've seen from outlets and stuff has been kinda missing the mark a little bit on why it hasn't been working (to me). Like a lot of the criticisms I've seen kinda go on abt how the show introduces more mysterious elements without resolving them and people on reddit or whatever have their theorizing threads to occupy them but the show is only stringing them along, which is true to a certain degree this season but here's the thing: resolving all the little mysterious elements wasn't really the point in season 1. It kinda didn't matter what the numbers did because the show was really about the characters, and their arcs in terms of "waking up" from the indoctrination innies go through and fighting back. The show is a big ol allegory for working in a corporate office that treats you like shit so it kinda doesn't matter if the numbers do anything because they fulfill the role of mindnumbing busywork and a lot of the other little details are just worldbuilding set dressing and don't need the show to put a lot of attention on them. And of course once the show progresses to a second season we want some of these mysteries to actually get addressed. Of course we're invested in why Mark's dead wife is really alive and of course we're curious about what top secret evil thing Lumon is making the innies participate in through their work. But fundamentally that shouldn't GET IN THE WAY of the focus being on the core cast of characters, their relationship to one another, and the arcs they go through. The thing that, y'know, the show is about.

So the season started out pretty strong. Characters have new motivations since the first season based on where they left off, we have some intrigue with Helena's involvement from the outside (and inside too maybe wink wink), and some new variables introduced with Milchick promoted to floor manager and the "more ethical" changes made to their work environment. Fertile ground for exploring the themes and relationships we loved so much in the first season, oh boy! But then we get to Woe's Hollow and. The characters are dropped into a contextless environment, so we are pulled out of the momentum the preceeding episodes built. And it ends with one of the characters getting fired, so he's cut out of the core dynamic and spends the rest of the season divorced from the primary action, reduced to a secondary character. Then the season chugs along. Then we get an episode entirely devoted to flashbacks and another character divorced from the core dynamic. Then that episode is immediately followed by another episode entirely devoted to a different character divorced from the core dynamic. And then the next episode we see all our main cast again but they're all up to stuff that is, again, divorced from one another and the dynamic that made the first season so interesting, and we, the audience, are reminded of just how little time we've spent with Dylan and Irving and innie Helly this season. Their plot arcs are given a bit of a wrap-up in the lead up to the finale, and we're left to wonder how much more satisfied we might feel if the season had given them adequate time to establish further character development too.

And all this is not to say I hate this season or anything, in fact it's because I LIKE this show so much that it's so disappointing to me when it doesn't reach its full potential. There's plenty of stuff I enjoyed about this season, Milchick's arc in particular, and I liked what we do see of Burt and Irving, the idea behind Dylan's arc, etc. but it feels like wasted potential when we have barely enough time spent on them before their storyline wraps up. And none of the bottle eps are "bad" necessarily as stand-alone episodes, but when you only have ten episodes to tell your story in, it really detracts from the pacing to have like a third of the season draw us away from the stuff that made the first season so interesting. It's the shift away from character arcs and how the main cast of characters influence and interact with one another, and towards addressing the "mysteries" established earlier and then establishing more "mysteries" to build hype for a third season that really hurts the writing and my investment in the show. Even the commentary on capitalism and corporate culture seems to fall to the wayside (again, great ideas but where did they go??), which in conjunction with all the fucking CROSSOVER ADVERTISING we've been seeing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This show could be good. It could be so so good. Why were these choices made to make it less good. Jesus christ.

the way glee always made KURT have to apologize for they’re that everyone else is in the wrong for makes me wanna beat ryan murphy with hammers

how are you going to tell a 16yo who could potentially be becoming an orphan in real time to just like “believe in god and pray about it 😊🙏”. and then get mad when he doesn’t really want to hear it. AND he offered perfectly valid reasons to as to why he doesn’t believe (which he didn’t even need to provide it’s his fucking choice???)

HOW are they gonna make him look like the bad guy when he chooses to have a crush on a boy. they really got so upset with him for doing something that every other kid in the show does. and then, once again, he is apologizing for it. he’s apologizing for liking sam bc FINN was un comfortable like hello??? and also i love burt but that “you’ll have to get used to being alone” speech he gives was not helpful or necessary bc why are you telling your kid that

HOWWW are you always gonna somehow make everything kurt’s fault when he’s literally almost always the real victim in the narrative

It's funny to think that the only character I don't like in Severance is Ricken.

Every character, while having their negative traits, we can empathize with their decisions and why they are the way they are.

Mark - may be seen as an asshole, but lost his wife. Even before that, losing a child or even the idea of a child is hard.

Dylan - someone stuck in a rut, dead-end jobs that you hate. You can tell he loves his kids and wife he just has that empty 9-5 feeling that a LOT of us experience.

Burt - we experience more of Burt's Innie than his Outie, but his romance immediately removed any distate of him being a stickler and Keir apologist on the beginning. He might be the easiest to like, which might be why he's a lot of people's favorites.

Helly/Helena - this one might feel a little more complicated than the others because they feel like 2 entirely different people, but they arent. This just shows the depth of grooming that Helena has experienced. Helly is everything that Helena would be without restraint.

Mr. Milchick - Milchick is also a little complicated because in terms of the show, he is the "enemy" and we haven't seen too much of his past and life outside Lumon (if he has one). We have seen many cracks in his facade to show that he is someone who has struggled to get where he is, who uses big words to seem intelligent to the people above him (or maybe just everyone), and it has become so ingrained in him that he now has to actively fight to turn it off. If we're being honest, we all know that this is racism that Milchick deals with, as evident from the Kier paintings.

Cobel - initially, she was seen as our big bad. The bad guy we have to defeat to achieve happiness, but boy, this most recent episode of Cobel's solo adventure has flipped this all on its head. We can now sympathize with her. The nightmare that she has gone through as a child is enough to make anyone rethink their stance on hating her.

Ms. Huang - tbh just the fact that she's a kid is enough to make you go ???? Wtf

Gemma - perfect, never done anything wrong.

Devon - Step beneath perfect, she married Ricken so...????

BUT RICKEN, he is a performative ally that drops all pretense as soon as money is presented. He hosts these pseudo intellectual gatherings entirely composed of other pseudo intellectuals that exist to fawn over him.

It shows how shitty the lives of the Innies are that they could look at Ricken's book and gain inspiration from it. Something the rest of us see only as skin deep philosophies.

Idk I just to get this off my chest. I feel like there's a lot of other things I could say about the characters.

hiiii

just wanted to know if you have any recommendations for fics where Blaine is emo or a skank (bonus points if Burt disapproves)

We do have a skank!Blaine tag, though we tend to see fics where he's a bad boy, rather than a skank. Usually it is Kurt that is the skank!

i am reading this old fandom fave, he's more of a badboy than a skank:

Fire With Fire by mmerainbows

Badboy!Blaine (S2/3 AU) William McKinley High School has its jocks, its geeks, its preps, and its skanks. It also has the one kid even the bullies stay out of the way for - Blaine Anderson. No one crosses him, and Kurt knows to keep out of his way and do what he wants, whether that’s supplying Blaine with a pencil for French class when it’s demanded of him, or just staying quiet.

~~~~~

This seems to be the main one, (I haven't read it yet!)

Little Yellow Tags by lurkdusoleil

Kurt starts–and continues–a relationship with McKinley’s newest Skank.

A part of me really wants a Make the exorcist fall in love anime. if adapted by the right studio I think there's a fair chance that it could blow up in the anime community. Though I think that would take a while since it seems a lot of people tend to dismiss it due to the cliche title (let's be honest) and the cute artstyle. It would burts its popularity and it would be great to have more fan content.

On the other hand...well you probably already know what happens when a series becomes popular and toxic people discover it

Forget about an anime adaptation, I‘d be happy to at least have physical release of the manga! (says a person who prefers reading the manga over watching an anime) 😔

But yeah, fair. I can‘t say it would be a massive hit, because surely some themes are just too hard, too real for some potencial readers/ viewers, but considering anime dares to tip toes in uncertain waters, it could work. Doesn‘t have to, but it could.

That being said, I don‘t think the title would be the problem (listen, nothing against any of these, but Chainsaw Man? Because he turns into a Chainsaw Man? Or titles like Dandandan making my head spin when reading this combination too often? Make the Exorcist fall in Love is terribly long and cheesy, but not too bad, if you ask me). The artstyle is somewhat cutesy and stylized, but I don‘t think it would make people turn away. It‘s a very solid style imo and surely could be incorporated quite perfectly in colour.

Anyway! I could see more „problems“ for a potencial adaptation due to certain plot points: Attempted rape of a barely teen boy in the first chapter/ episode, gore at every end, cannibalism, criticsm of the (catholic) church… I do think the manga tackles a lot of very important takes, but I don‘t know how forgiven the anime community can be if it gets „too serious“. I‘d love to be proven wrong, but besides of cool and awesome fights, the source material hits you in the stomach all too often for some just to casually enjoy it.

On the other hand, we got tragic gay best childhood friends turned rivals/ enemies who are still in love so maybe that would a great selling point 🤷‍♀️

Also, one shouldn‘t care about any toxic part of fandoms. Enjoy what you have and interact with people you vive with! That‘s the best way to not let your experience be ruined by others ☺️

Bruce Wayne strikes me as the kind of guy who eats his tost burt

Not because he accidentally burt it, not because he's hardcore, not because he's an edgelord.

No, he just likes it like that.

If we're talking about a modern universe, my guy just smacks that lever down until it's black. If the toaster catches on fire that's a good thing

If wetalking something older (like my 1920s batman comic, for example), he pulls out one of these bad boys and toarches it like a marshmallow

His kids think he's crazy. I also think he's crazy but I love him for that

[scary-numbers]

Severance s2e6 spoilers

Okay I’ve read posts speculating that the terrible things Burt did in the past, that make him (cough Fields cough) think he won’t get into heaven are that he was one of the scientists who invented severance. And at first that made no sense to me because the entire point of the show is that severed employees are infantilized and have no rights, they wouldn’t do that to one of the most important employees in company history, the man who made severance a reality. But it does make sense if 20 years ago Burt helped develop severance, then 8-9 years ago Fields started worrying about heaven and they heard their pastor talk about severance at church (which the pastor would now know about - he wouldn’t have known what severance was 20 years ago) and the eagans I guess did him a solid by letting him take a severed job, and made him a department head in a pretty low key department.

So that would mean that Irving is like salivating over this idea of Burt being a rebel and having this bad boy past, but he wasn’t like committing crimes as an act of protest or because he had to to survive in a capitalist hellscape, he was actually committing crimes against humanity.

But also if this is true Fields is a major hypocrite- he could’ve left Burt if he had a problem with him doing experimental brain surgery in the name of corporate secret keeping, but he stayed with him and chose to shame him for his actions and pressure him into getting severed, despite presumedly having happily cashed burts lumon paychecks.
