#End of an era you know?

After 1 whole year I finally bought Treasure's 2nd anniversary magazine!! 💙💙

It took me so long to decide because it's quite expensive (62 euro's, shipping included), but it was totally worth it 😭😭

It only took 2 days to arrive and they added so much stuff! ❤️

I got Jihoon's poca! 😭😭 It's meant to be because Jihoon in that outfit is like 90% of the reason I needed to buy the magazine 🙌

I couldn't find scans of all my favorite pictures, but here are a few 🥰

going through some old logs, and I need you to understand just how truly unhinged early 2010s RP omegle was.

genuinely you could stay on there for hours with just one person, hashing out complex traumatic backstories, drawn-out love confessions, detailed action scenes...collaboratively describing graphic violence, past abuse, comfort, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort, any number of sex acts...and then one of you would be like, "oh haha it's 2AM! I have to sleep :(" and the other person would say, "omg saaaame. :( gnight!!!" and then you'd exit the chat and never speak to each other again, and this was. fine.

you could just spend an entire evening shoving your wretched, bleeding soul into a chat log with someone you'd never meet or learn the name of, achieve some form of emotional catharsis, and then go about your day or night like this was an average way to spend your time.

I'm really normal about this, actually

My brain: Phaidei represents boundary-breaking, conscientious levels of queer content with romantic coding that is both centered and treated respectfully by the narrative. In this essay, I will--

Also my brain:

I just keep thinking that Phainon's seduction attempts would be about as subtle as this meme's.

The erasure of uchiha contribution to konoha’s founding makes me so sad because that village was as much madara’s dream as it was hashirama’s and his part in it deserves to be remembered. How does izuna get erased from everything when he was one of the strongest people of that time, an equal to Tobirama, and his death was the literal catalyst to the peace treaty and the village’s creation?

MINHO Ending Fairy - Came and Left Me (Music Core, 241109)

"Eddie said he's straight! Buck said Eddie was straight! Buck said he's not in love with his best friend! They shut down Buddie in the show it isn't happening ya'll are delusional! Queerbait! Queerbait! Blah blah blah"

I feel like I'm going insane. I'm sure we're all tired of people shouting "media literacy" every five seconds, but like... Yeah, develop some media literacy, please.

I'm saying this as someone who doesn't usually like romance, despite being subjected to it in basically every piece of media. As someone who doesn't generally look for love stories. As someone who loved Buddie but didn't consider any serious possibility of it becoming canon before season 7/8, who refused to believe Buddie was truly happening until I couldn't deny it anymore: this episode is loud.

Please understand how narrative arcs work. How character arcs work. How character development works. How serial broadcast television works. Understand how writing works. Consider context; take the whole episode, the whole season, and the whole series into account instead of treating things like they exist in isolation.

I'm too tired to go through the step-by-step details of the episode to prove why these, "they said it on screen, therefore..." takes are shortsighted and ignorant; plenty of people have done that already.

But that episode, even if we do take it in isolation, is textbook. Do people really take everything characters say at face value? Do people not watch other character's reactions? Listen to what else is being said? Watch what is being shown? Consider the implications? Themes? Narrative devices?

Consider that maybe, just maybe, characters can be unreliable narrators, or believe something to be true only for that belief to change later. These things don't happen in one episode. There's such a thing as set-up, foreshadowing, the starting point of a plot. 911 is a serial drama, therefore it is going to have A) long-form story and character arcs, and B) drama.

Characters are not going to move in straight lines, or talk in therapy speak, or solve every problem in an hour. They are not always going to be right, or self-aware, or truthful, or rational. Direct dialogue does not equate to honest dialogue.

Also, saying, "well in real life, people do this, I do that, their feelings would be this, yadda yadda yadda" means nothing. Your experiences are not universal, and more importantly, this is a work of fiction. Realism is whatever the story says it is; it's going to do whatever creates the most dramatic, interesting, developmentally beneficial, or emotionally satisfying story. Whether you like that story or not is irrelevant to the fact that stories are not going to cater to all your expectations or real-world experiences.

To people pointing to Tim or the actor's interviews as "proof" they're shutting down Buddie: again, please understand how broadcast television works. They are not going to tell us everything that's going to happen before it happens. They are going to play the neutral zone, the "wait and see," the "will they/won't they." They are going to lie. That is television production 101. You can compare what they've said in the past with canon and list all the contradictions, misdirection, and twists you didn't see coming because they didn't spoil it for you. Watch the show. That is the canon.

They're also not catering to fandom--people they already know are devoted to the show, familiar with Buddie, and consistently tuning in. They're introducing the idea of Buddie to the general audience, people who likely haven't considered the possibility before. The GA has to see that Buddie is an option, so the show needs to manifest it as if it's a brand new concept. This episode pulled the pin on that grenade in a very obvious way; the idea that Buck could be in love with Eddie and that Eddie could not be straight has been planted. The next seed will be Eddie's feelings. Now the show needs to water it and let it grow.

One last thing. Been seeing a fair amount of hand-wringing and condescension over people interpreting this episode differently. As if this is some sort of "gotcha" for bad writing, baiting, or people being stupid. Listen, genuine complaints about this show's writing aside, different interpretations or inferences are completely normal. This isn't unique. That is how people interact with stories, through personal biases, experiences, emotions, and expectations. That isn't inherently a bad thing. It's totally fine to have your own views; media is all about interpretation.

However, it is also true that just because you have an interpretation, that doesn't make it true. Not all interpretations are equal in their validity, evidence, or warrants. The show has an intention, it has a story in mind. If you don't see it, sure, that could be a failure of the writing, but it could also very well be a failure of your analysis, especially when the show hasn't finished telling the story. Looking at one thing in isolation and forming your whole conclusion based around that makes for poor critique.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see who's right.

A Red Hood story where Jason, instead of being a crime lord, helps victims of abuse to take revenge on people that hurt them and got away with it. He reaches out to them with an offer and a promise that they will not face any consequence for what they'll decide to do. Once their minds are set, he abducts the abusers, ties them up and takes them to a secluded place. He never pushes any of the victims to murder, allowing them to choose whether they want to end the objects of their nightmares, inflict pain or scream their souls out before leaving. But Red Hood always finishes the job. No monster will walk the streets and hurt anyone else while Jason's alive and breathing. So, the perpetrators die either way.

The main antagonist? Not Batman. Not Nightwing and certainly not Robin. But Batgirl. Cassandra “Not-Even-The-Law-Is-Allowed-To-Execute-Abusers-On-My-Watch” Cain. She's angry, so she hunts but never kills. They have a whole “Catch Me if You Can” sequence until they meet face to face, but never reach a conclusion that would suffice both sides. Jason wants to help fellow victims find peace, one he himself was never granted. Cass can't let him get away with any more murder.

A lot of grey areas to explore (did they deserve it? Yes. Will the victims be able to live with themselves knowing that their hands are painted in blood? Who knows). No happy endings for anyone. None of the “batfamily-makes-peace” bullshit. Just pain upon pain upon pain. And so much projection from both parties.

Also just as a side addition to the previous post + some asks inquiring about certain AMVs; my personal opinion is that every bit of fan art that woobifies Crowfeather is absolutely hilarious. Tell me you haven't read the books in years without telling me you haven't read the books in years.

It is bitterly funny to me that the fandom sees a guy who can best be summarized with, "shouts at his teenage child for asking if they can go to McDonalds while they're on a roadtrip and then says it's his wife's fault his kid's fucked up, requires his mom and his ex to give him the exact same advice before he realizes that was Not Cool" and collectively said, "omg... an emo twink. Time to draw him doing the cat equivalent of staring out a rainy window wistfully for the millionth time."

it feels like I'm looking at an angry 40-year-old cishet Italian man from Long Island on his 3rd divorce, and everyone else is trying to pick out what neopronouns he'd like best. The dissonance is delicious. I can only laugh.

steddyhands au where Stede & Izzy start fake dating to scam a load of money (either to secure Stede's inheritance, or just like a classic wedding gift scam or something) but they also still both kinda hate each other and are constantly bickering, and keep slipping up and raising suspicion & have to dig themselves a deeper and deeper lie to keep the ruse up

(meanwhile, Stede AND Izzy have independently started fucking Ed behind each others back. Ed thinks hes seeing a wonderful polyamorous couple who just arent interested in threesomes, meanwhile Izzy and Stede are desperately trying to keep the other from finding out theyre sleeping with someone else)

(yes they hate each other and arent even dating for real. yes they are sneaking Ed behind the others back like its a real affair. its stizzy)

Severus Snape and Lily Evans as Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani from Friends would be totally like:

Lily: What if you saw a three-legged puppy?

Severus: I’d be sad, sure, but I wouldn’t cry.

Lily: Okay, what if the puppy said, “Help me, Severus, all the other puppies pick on me”?

Severus: Cry? I just found a talking puppy! I’m rich!
