all the yt film snobs were kinda right about saltburn being a tumblr movie since apparently everyone on all other platforms thinks it's an "eat the rich" movie?? like girl did we watch the same movie
#“upper middle class eating the upper class” is not a satisfying movie premise why would you think that's what it is#like it's not perfect but the imperfections are gonna be blinding when you try to see it as something it so clearly isn't#how the fuck did so many people miss the point so hard like the message isn't even that hidden#(just for clarification- i believe one of the messages/themes of the movie is about sore losers who invent a new narrative that portrays#themselves as the winner. that makes it seem like they're some sort of mastermind when in reality they're a sad freak who are willing to do#everything to become one with the elite- to achieve the unachievable)#someone on here posted once that in the UK the gap between the upper class and the middle class is even bigger and harder to close which de#adds to the longing to be a part of the Cattons#saltburn#saltburn 2023

The Hitler and KKK jokes were never funny tbh
#Like Reed I was with you until then lmao#This is like the craziest virtue signalling fandom ever#Idk why some can’t just call it what it is — classism and elitism#Why must you bring real life problems that have nothing to do with anything into this#In such a trivial and un-constructive way#You’re bloating the conversation so many people seemed like they were desperate to have considering many hate Cait because ‘ACAB’#Which. respect. but then there’s no substance behind any of that. People are just reiterating very progressive and leftist talking points#spearheaded by Black people (specifically Black women) that many people like to talk over may I add!!!#without any thought behind it. Liking or disliking a character should not be your daily dose of activism#again bloating a conversation with the hyper focus on an individual instead of the big picture of the narrative#and actively ignore the presentation of other characters of colour#ok I might as well just add my tags to a reblog lmao#but yeah idk I feel like people are just lying to my face about their leftism as they make kukluxkiramman and caitler jokes#youre not being funny or clever or really much at all. You’re just saying things out loud#Also super hypocritical since a solid (deffffff not all) of the fandom treat Mel so poorly#Ok I’m done#slay on the run#arcane#caitlyn#caitlyn kiramman#caitlyn arcane#this isn’t even a Caitlyn defence post lmao people are just annoying me#ALSO most of these jokes have been off Tumblr. I’ve blocked so many people I don’t see many of these but they’re apparently popular on twt

shirahama-sensei reminded me she has a thing for the teacher from pokemon s/v so i randomly went off on an au where qifrey is the professor. etc
#witch hat tag#orufrey#the first image is qifrey dressed as that guy. i'm glad she has an inexplicable attachment to some dorky pokemon man like i do#someone was like 'wouldn't it make more sense for deanreldea to be the champion' .... well no. not in my world .#it maps onto magic skill. champions aren't like the Rulers of the land they're just the most skilled at this thing#oru as a burnt out champion who's gently encouraging a kid like coco to reach him one day means a lot to me. i like pokemon narratives#agott went shiny hunting for the same thing coco had but cooler - just to impress her. she really is a pokemon rival type girl#pushing myself to the limit to prove my worth to you - to get to the summit first so i'm waiting for you..#and then realising it wasn't just to be strong - i realised i started wanting to see your smile. i wanted you to have fun.#i think coco would defeat agott at the end of victory road and then defeat oru & i'll probably draw one last thing abt that at least..#the image is very cinematic..the dialogue and music in my mind..I WANT TO FACE ORU!!!!!!!!!!#the super cool insanely powerful awesome champion is the spouse of my professor and he gave me advice at the beginning...no way....#btw the elite four would be the sages which is perfect (and maybe easthies as the first guy?) evil Team Brimhats#coustas as their renegade gladion-type figure. the gym leaders would be like sun/moon and s/v combined#travelling around facing the best students from different classes - so jujy and eunie etc.#i've barely thought about 'teams' or anything bc i care amore about the narrative side of things always lol#but idk. tetia with a swirlix - eunie would be ghost type boy - riche with small things but also a ceruledge or a steelix something massiv#and brushbug would have a final form which is really long like an eastern dragon- fluffy and with wings like a fairy. It's beautiful to me#well anyway *tries to move on to the rest of life now the brief obsession has passed*#obviously oru would be fire-type tho and qifrey would be water-type and they set off together and traded their starters etc.....it goes on

(I put an abridged version of this untagged on my blog but honestly i need to give it a longer tagged write-up)
So Yuta saw this side of my sign before his match against Willie Mack at the Oakland Collision:

while he was looking at the hard cam (which is where I was front row with @sonnykissed) and yelled “he’s DEAD he’s DEAD” right at me to which I think I cursed my head off at him idk I go into automatic when it comes to Bryan and slander and also Yuta being a shit post-murder.
(Watching it back now here’s what the camera caught: here’s the tail-end of him yelling ‘DEAD’ while I point at him and wave the sign and say ‘fuck you!’ I’m pretty sure 🤣)
So I’m randomly waving the sign during the match at times while also trying to update y’all on things

He does I have till 5 which I mostly miss and then once again curse him the fuck out (while apparently Nigel on comm also calls him out for it and also for Bryan ( thanks for that info @shes-a-voodoo-child)
When I listened back Nigel said “people questioned Yuta, I questioned Yuta when Moxley forced him to do what he did to Bryan Danielson” and then “I have till 5 an oft repeated phrase from the American Dragon Bryan Danielson, again Wheeler Yuta reveling on the fact that he was the one that caused the end Bryan Danielson’s career, at least for the time being.” AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING. do you miss your dragon Nigel? Do you know something? Are you gonna visit him in Napa while he’s on child and chicken duty before Sacramento and plot a revolution return? (A girl can dream okay)


So then Mox comes. I try to get him to see my sign but he doesn’t. He tries to brainwash Yuta into “finishing the job” and I yell over and over “don’t do it don’t do” (at that point we didn’t know he was telling him to take out cope on weds we thought he just wanted him to take out Mack which also happened) I can definitely hear myself screaming in the clip although none of the words are clear I’m sure I’m sure I’m booing and calling him a piece of shit among other things

But then I watch him in the ring stroke that briefcase, like lovingly stroke it and I see emotion on his face, real emotion and I’m like oh shit, What’s happening here? An Actual Yuta conflicted character arc after so long with legit nothing?
And my first thought as he stroked that briefcase that way was what was inside it. And the last time he ever saw what was inside it. And who was wearing it. And who it belonged to.
And I know for sure he was thinking of it, too. In fact it was pointed out to me by @extracurriculargrief that the last time he ever even touched the belt was this moment:

Was that going through his head?
So he’s leaving the ring and I’m still kinda pissed at him for doing mox’s dirty work even while realizing he could now be Going Through It and I start screaming “THINK ABOUT IT YUTA!!” while waving the still missing Bryan Danielson part of my sign. The same part he dismissed to me earlier.
(Apparently I can be seen on camera yelling at him on the fite feed. I have not been able to find the fite feed yet.)
And he’s standing by the ring post and turns to look at me while I repeat it over and over and he is staring at me, staring at the sign, solemn and serious and I can see his eyes because he moved his hair during that whole emotional moment and he says to me “I will. I will. I will” while nodding and still clutching that briefcase to his chest, still totally and fully in character.
And I nod to him and I think I smile a small sad smile, just completely overcome, and then I collapsed into @sonnykissed because that emotionally drained me and YEAH folks
Never expected to contribute to the death riders storyline (especially when I’d all but given up on them actually continuing the Yuta part of it in terms of Bryan) but here we are
Here we are. I have no idea what will happen here:
I’m going to the sacramento show and I was already planning to bring the same sign (but to update the days) but now I’m pretty sure I’m also going to update it with words coming out of the sad dragon’s mouth. He’ll be saying “think about it Yuta.”
#wheeler Yuta#bryan Danielson#aew#all elite wrestling#death riders#i….contribute to the narrative i Guess?#bryanwheeler

Mox looking fucking terrifying when Orange stood up to him good lord
#jon moxley#aew#all elite wrestling#death riders#i love this angle#something about a clear main villain in wrestling that the narrative actually treats as a villain#it's escapism i kind of need right now#i know with aews booking the villain will get whats coming to him#which is comforting given the real worlds *gestures everywhere*#so i can enjoy the ride and paste feelings onto seeing a bad guy reign and eventually go down#mox is putting stellar work in now

Worlds #1 complainer about "dog motif" fans accidentally makes story with extremely central, predominant even, dog motif
#I wasn't thinking of it that way because it's like. For lack of a more appropriate word diagetic?#Like it's not invoked symbolically in the narrative or just with association it like. Involves actual dogs and the in-universe culture's#view on dogs. Rather than dog imagery to represent like Loyalty or Devotion or etc#The biggest underlying theme is kind of the human/animal relationship and animals as means of externalizing human states#cultural desires and fears etc etc etc#And in-universe dogs have a very complicated place in this cultural context where they tread the thinnest of lines between#being noble loyal valuable animals and unclean lowly despised scavengers. Both are the same animal and it all depends on the#role they play. And then this divide is narrowing in the context of a famine where the dog becomes competition#for food/consumer of the dead/possible desperation food source itself and one that contaminates the consumer in the process#Street dogs as kind of the ultimate representation of cultural anxieties of enemies infiltrating from within and without#despised elements of the culture that are omnipresent nonetheless etc etc etc etc#And then a cast of main characters where ALL of them in very different capacities are balancing a delicate line of trying their#best to play roles to remain in the 'valued' category and not fall into the 'despised'. Some doing better than others or having#more privileged places in this dynamic than others but all under tremendous strain from it#In a condensed high pressure panopticon setting of a pilgrimage/war party surrounded by like some of the highest#members of the social elite/literal royalty/etc#And anyway bottom line EXTREMELY central 'dog motif' going on here literally every main character interacts with a#'dog motif' in some capacity . Failed fucking step 1

shows which were cancelled before their time and I will never stop being angry about: the get down, bbc class, timeless, sense8, 1899
shows which I think had a decent run or did tell their story well but really wish at more people knew about because they are criminally underrated: bad sisters (only meant to be one season), station eleven (ditto and soooo good), good behavior (only two seasons but where it went in those two seasons…)
shows with decent early seasons which ought to have been put down seasons before they ended from sheer mercy: supernatural, élite, la casa de papel, misfits
#If I think of any other I’ll add#One thing I wish people would realise is that television is a long form narrative but that doesn’t mean it’s not a narrative#There’s no ideal time for a show to run apart from the one that’s good for it’s story#I think timeless could have run for seasons and been great because it’s essentially got an internal self generating plot machine#(Although I think 5-6 is the max for any good show for the most part)#But elite as a high school drama should have ended with the original cast#As is the nature of many a high school drama. See the issue with misfits too#1899 is so rage inducing because it really was such a modest production like 3 seasons is fine!#And Netflix went nooooo#I guess misfits isn’t technically a high school show but it has the exact same issue with original cast and replacement cast

sounds more like the rulers are terrorizing the people with the literal embodiment of evil than actual governing them
#but then what do i know#i'm not a ruler#this is a reminder that history is written by the victors and the elite and that there are many unrecorded narratives that exist#this has been a psa#yugioh#cide watches yugioh#cide watches yugioh dm#yugioh dm#yugioh duel monsters

me, having slept ~5/6 hours a night for the last 10 days, working 16 hour days to try to finish this fuckass dissertation: brain no thinik good i can't do this i'm so tired also me: a statistical analysis of pierre-luc dubois x ovechkin's uptick in goals after finding a new stick he liked last season = ovechkin is going to score 50 goals this year and break the all time record (and PLD will hit 60/70 points as his centerman). in this essay i will also also me: ovechkin should sign a 1/2 year extension so he can hit 1000 goals, and piss off all the pittsburgh fans and xenophobic canadians haters who say he's an empty net/PP merchant
#imagine if ovi hit 1000 goals#bro#i'd build the statue in DC of him MYSELF#also the narrative that ovechkin scores all his goals from one spot on the power play is so funny to me#like...what about the other FIVE HUNDRED + GOALS????#also have you been watching his career at all?!?#old man ovi? for sure much more stationary. his legs aren't the same#YOUNG ovi!??!!? who was bulldozing his way through entire defensive formations solo through sheer strength and skill??#bull in a china shop ovi???#you've lost your fucking mind lmao#he's the greatest goal scorer of all time#he's elite at literally every kind of goal scoring#he's done it all and he's done all of it A LOT#except WRAP AROUNDS his achilles heel lmao#my man will never score a wrap around goal rip#he's sneaky good at deflections which you'd only know if you actually watch him play#i mean he's not joe pavelski but he is elite at it#his shot is just so powerful that it's better be in position to shoot than position to deflect#ANYWAY#im gonna work maybe#after my coffee#ovi#oh captain my captain#go caps go#fun fact ovi actually has more shorthanded goals than sidney fucking crosby
