#Classy concept

I'm going to level with you, some of you are VERY confused about the difference between "being a hater as a sports fan" and "wishing death or harm upon sports competitors you don't like". They're categorically NOT the same thing

I take rumors as a compliment. The fact that you're bringing my name to tables I don't sit at shows your obsession.

Stay bothered.

what are your thoughts on azem and what fandom does with the concept?

i like what azem offers as a nebulous idea of something emet-selch (and the other unsundered) believes to be better than the wol and as an unobtainable object of (platonic on my end) desire for them. and i prefer them to be some manner of unknowable entity that is haunting the narrative; i'd rather have a vague outline of them than a real person. in my case, i like having it that way because my wol was already the type to try living up to a memory of someone else, even if he doesn't know what or who exactly that memory is (which is the kind of conundrum that gets him in these existential nightmares to begin with). but even outside of him, i treat azem the way dgs1 treated klint van zieks, if you've played that game. long gone and never to return, but still keeps being relevant in some unknowable way that constantly gives the wol grief. i also prefer if azem were extremely flawed in some way, as if to reiterate that even the 'better' version of 'you' that emet-selch wanted was lacking to the sensible modern eye. all that being said, i really enjoy seeing people's personalized azems with their meaningful true names and tragic stories.

as for what the fandom at large does, generally speaking it's a mixed bag. this is a huge fanbase so there are varying degrees of how closely people stick to the canon when writing their azems. i like to go along with the canon (that everyone dressed the same etc etc) but that's because i have an investment in it that some people don't. my wol's story and the story of my favorite characters can't work if their society was willing to bend the rules even a little for just one person. that's not always the case for everyone. so i can't say every interpretation of azem is to my taste but the ones who go beyond my sensibilities are clearly prioritizing something different than what i am, so it's not even relevant to my interests. while i strongly disagree with the idea of highly customized azems with special robes and extremely elaborate masks who constantly breaks rules, my opinion doesn't (and shouldn't) matter to ppl who would rather just have a good time instead of sweating over the story like i do

i feel like the concept for lisa's album would've worked way better for the general public if she didn't facking name her alter egos some shit like vixi 😭

Seeing Kafka in overtly revealing ("sexy") dresses in fan arts: I just... don't see why? Me over here: The most 'revealing' thing that I can imagine her in, if I envision her without a coat draped over her shoulders, is something like this. Am I just weird; where am I supposed to see this 'overtly revealing' nature of hers that oozes 'sexy'? That woman has class, and in that, I think she's sexy (f I have to use the word). And where do I get that impression from? Her entire default attire screams it at me from the rooftops.

I am very independent and am doing very well financially, however I also love being taken care of ('spoiled' if you will) and I love receiving material comforts from men I date and I want them to understand that right off the bat. How can I communicate my needs discreetly and how can I make my standards clear without outright saying it (nothing wrong with it but it would be considered a little presumptuous in our culture and my own preference)

Frame these desires as your preferences/turn-ons rather than as demands of a potential partner.

In practice, when a prospective partner asks on a date what you're looking for, after sharing the qualities, shared life goals, and personality traits/lifestyle you're seeking, tack on how you feel your best/most desired in a relationship where your man derives pleasure from pampering/indulging you. You can also say that gift-giving is your "love language" because appreciate thoughtful gestures that show someone takes the time/effort to understand and consider what you like/makes you feel appreciated in a relationship. I think also describing your ideal dynamic with disclosing how you would show in the relationship – aka loving to cook, thrive helping men with their outfit/restaurant choices, good at sharing household essential lists/tasks, etc. show some humility and desire for true partnership in the relationship without being some man's household slave.

Hope this helps xx

Hi! I somewhat agree with your post about Edwina, but I think you should take the time period into consideration. If the show was made today, you'd be 100% correct, but back then, this seemed like a "reasonable" thing to do because both women and men thought that if a woman reached like 30, her life was over and she'd be alone forever. So, yeah, in today's world she should wait for someone who really loved her, but back then she must have just been desperate (however, I don't really know what 1 date with a guy she'd never see again did, but I haven seen the episode in a while and I don't remember if that was explained)

y'all the most polite anon I ever met, I love you for that <3

I don't really have much to add, I think it's a pretty interesting point, and I do think her friends were trying to boost her confidence or show her she wasn't past her expiration date, so to speak, by getting her back in the saddle again, even if it was just for one date with one of the surgeons, which is a nice idea

it just bothers me that her friends found out none of the guys in the MASH wanted to date her, so instead of letting it go or trying to set her up with a guy they knew back home or something, they decided the best solution was to pressure one of the MASH guys into dating her. obviously it's their choice whether or not to go out with any of the guys at any given time, but the whole scenario just felt kinda weird to me

I rly loved your Camibilly smut hcs (from an ask I sent from my old blog) Do you have anymore? Or just fluffy hcs?

Not really, smut hcs aren't really my thing, I dont know how to write It in a classy way and not make the scenes too explicit , I lack finesse on writing that, i tend to write them like those Pink colored romantic books also known as female porn writers if It makes sense XD (I like those books, but let's be honest, they are delicate porn).

Fluffy Its more me ,but i think i told you most of my hcs so yeah.

• Camila likes to touch Billy's hair.

• Billy likes to see Camila doing.things like reading, making her makeup, brushing her hair, cooking...

•Camila likes seeing Billy sleeping, more precisely breathing while he sleeps, she was scared he would die for addiction so, It reassures her.

• Camila likes to make random candid (unaware) photos of Billy, so you have some of him fixing things at home, a couple playing guitar, some of him playing with Julia...

Now some fluffy smutty.

• There are even some nudes in those candids, usually Billy showering and going out the shower totally unaware of It.

• New Au of mine : the band keeps being together and (inspired by the awesome beggining of the Laureate) maybe Camilly Its about to start a throuple with Daisy ,(Cami Its Bi in this au, so Daisy is ... Importantly : no one dies and everyone Its Happy...Better than canon):

• Camila once competed in an Worlds photography contest , the final test was an artistic nude photo, she wanted to hire a male model, but after watching the casting and the great quantity of hot men wanting to pose for his wife ...Billy panicked XD, so he offered to pose voluntarily himself for that photoshoot, which Camila agreed to, then they made the session, 20 photos, Camila asks Daisy to chose her fave photo, to put it as the central main one, the rest are the companions... and Camila later send the session in a photobook to the judges...

It made her win and It became her most successfull shoot ever, much to the annoyance of Eddie and embarrassment of Graham, It became a meme for Warren and Karen, they bought and brought one of the photos to the band's bus as a poster. Teddy and Rod use It for publicity for the band...Which works greatly , now Billy has to wear his shirts open buttoned always at concerts , and they sell the double of tickets...Also Daisy kidnapped the main photo (not so secretly) for herself, with Camila's approval.

Billy knows about It all (even the Daisy thing)....It inflated his ego a lot.

That's it. 😊

Okay, so. Star Wars has all these concepts that weirdo New Left boomer George Lucas tosses in there but because of storyteller limitations it would kill the plot to fully explain them all, so later writers have to come in for the spin-off materials and bat clean-up to fully explain all this crazy crap. And I would like to talk about something that made me actively angry at first, but which I now adore. And that is the Naboo.

So much about Naboo culture is infuriating from a logical standpoint. They have a queen, okay. A constitutionally elected queen? Weird, okay. Don't know why they'd do that but... She's FOURTEEN? Excuse me? Is it a ceremonial thing or, oh no it's not? Legit head of state? Why does she dress like that? Why does she talk like that? I'm so tired.

Here's the explainer. Let me go cook.

There's this joke in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy where the last living human goes back in time and finds out humans aren't actually from Earth, but an alien culture that tricked all the middle managers, pedantic weirdos, and other infuriating folk into getting in a space arc which they gave the wrong evacuation coordinates to simply get rid of them. The Naboo are like this but they're all artists and poets and hippies, but like classy ones. They fled their home planet during a war and crash landed on Naboo, then did a colonism to the Gungans because, hey, they were fleeing a war and it was do or die. This spiritual rot in their creation story is later rectified by Padmé. But it's super important to their cultural psychology. They're hippies, but will subjugate if needed. They are "peaceful" but I guarantee you every single one of them has a tiny extremely shiny pistol up their sleeve and they will draw down on you if backed against a wall.

The scene that I think says it all is at the end of Phantom Menace when Padmé is surrounded by Nute Gunray and his droids, they've got her dead to rights, but Sabé her double creates a distraction so the queen can make it to her throne. This one piece of furniture is the Naboo in a nutshell. It's richly carved with artistic details, it has two seats to the side so the queen's handmaidens can read the lips of people in the back of the room and use hand signals to communicate with the queen while she can remain focused mostly on who is speaking to her. It is hundreds of years old. And it has a secret compartment in the armrest that is FULL OF GUNS. Layers of artistic opulence hiding their true intentions.

The Naboo were created to be backwards compatible with Princess Leia. They're compassionate pacifists, but they will shot you if needed.

Why do they elect teenage royalty? It's a little creepy. It's giving "age of consent is emotional maturity". It makes no sense.

The explanation they give outsiders is they want youthful idealism untainted by cynicism. What they don't tell you is that they take kids with stated interest in politics and put them in an advanced highly competitive Leadership Academy which is like Model UN mixed with Battle Royale. Well, they don't kill each other but it's intense. It's like what the clones went though just all diplomacy training and tea ceremonies all the time. Which is crazy but so Naboo.

Oh, and all the delegates for the royalty election run using pseudonyms for security. Imagine voting for the head of state but you can't run a background check. It's so crazy.

Why does Padmé dress like that? Well, fashion is one of Naboo's major industries so it's like she's wearing the entire Fall line catalog at once. To advertise not only the talent of her people, but to show how much they favor her. BUT that dress has multiple layers of padding and resin armor. And aforementioned spots for those little silver blasters. And it breaks up her silhouette making her harder to shoot. And it's so elaborate you pay more attention to the crazy dress and not if the person wearing it is really the queen or a decoy. Everything about Naboo is like this.

Queen Amidala has that weird accent while Padmé does not. Because all her handmaidens helped create the accent together so they all can imitate it. It's like if you gave girls at a rowdy sleepover the job of federal counterintelligence. That's what they came up with.

The handmaidens wear colorful identical clothes so you can't tell them apart, hoods to partially conceal their identity, and they don't wear the queen's fancy makeup. So one of them can be the queen and spy on people in the audience. Because the Naboo don't trust shit for shit.

Their public face is so silly to hide all the truly weird shit they do behind the scenes.

They use their reputation as artist hippies to conceal multiple layers of subterfuge and disguise their methods of self defense and assuage their paranoia due to wartime trauma and their disturbing colonial past. All of them are completely off their rocker even by Star Wars standards. And I love them so much. They put on a show so everyone thinks they have them figured out but what they have going on is far more weirder and more sinister than meets the eye. You know how catty, neurotic, and competitive art school students stereotypically are? Yeah, planet art student. Love them!

There you go, @charmwasjess
