#I can't shut up about that show

[fabiolajyx]

Can't stop thinking about Grease: ROTPL as always and I need to talk about it (again, I know) so here are my predictions I guess. SPOILERS!! PART 2

These are my predictions from trailers and pictures so I'm so excited to discover everything!!!

So let's talk about Cynthia and Shy Guy. I've seen videos of Ari with shorter hair and I've seen them with that haircut wearing the pink jacket AND a black jacket. I know, I've talked about Cynthia a few times already and I need y'all to know that I'm still happily confused and I'm gonna say what I've already said. Again. When Cynthia says the pledge at the fair, she still has her hairstyle of the season, so I don't think that she will say the pledge and then leave the Pink Ladies.

That's why I think that this scene is from ep 10. Don't know how it's gonna happen but it looks like Cynthia is gonna get Richie's jacket. I'm sorry but it's definitely his... And remember the first episode when he says to her "I'll give you mine", yeah, that screams foreshadowing!! Honestly, I hate it even if I get it, I hate it, I'm not going to lie. I need Richie to be a T-Bird forever and to stay the leader of the pack so bad. Maybe I'm wrong but like I said, it is HIS JACKET. But the thing is that I don't know if she's gonna stay a T-Bird. I feel like she's gonna stay a Pink Lady because if she cuts her hair after getting the T-Bird jacket why Ari would wear the pink jacket with the same haircut? I DON'T KNOW GUYS, I'M SO CONFUSED 😂

Now, Shy Guy. Aww, baby boy, I know they call him Shy Guy for a reason but I hope that we'll get to see more of him in the next 4 episodes and I feel like this scene is gonna be big and maybe will turn into a song? They will probably talk about his feelings for Cynthia and maybe more.

I think I've said everything that I had in mind but here's a few more scenes that I'm excited to see.

THAT KISS!! AAAH, I'M SO EXCITED!!! I've read a few comments on TikTok talking about a second kiss in another ad, HELLO?!? Okay, I need to calm down.

This shot has some "Beauty School Dropout" vibes and I'm so curious.

LOOK AT THESE TWO BEAUTIES WEARING MATCHING OUTFITS 😭😭

I'm so excited to see ALL the couples evolved and I better get a season 2 to see more of them. Honestly, as a big fan of Grease and Grease 2 (I will never mention that live that they did, sorry not sorry), I didn't know that I needed this show so bad in my life and it better stays in my life for at least two more seasons. DO YOU HEAR ME UNIVERSE?!

Don't hesitate to come talk to me about this show 😊

thinking about mizu from blue eye samurai. thinking. thinking so much. thinking about how mizu operates outside of gender. like we joke about her gender being revenge but straight up? it literally is. like she grew up as a boy and is most comfortable being a man, but behind that is the feeling of betraying himself because he isn't being honest about who he is and he lives in fear of being discovered. and when he lived as a woman, she found joy there as well. she fell in love, and though she wasn't good at it, she liked being a wife and enjoying a simple life. but in that life too, she isn't being honest about who she is. and when she reveals her true self, it's not a woman, she's a demon, a weapon. she's to masculine to be a woman, and too feminine to be a man. ultimately, mizu is most comfortable when they are being a murder machine. that's when they feel they are being the most true to themself. like a sword, they are neither man nor woman, but a blend of both, which makes them stronger.

Still can't stop thinking about how agonizing it must have been for Lestat to stand up on that stage at the trial and lie about the early stages of his and Louis' relationship and twist the details to make Louis the pursuer and pretend like he didn't want him when the most essential fact of Lestat's life since the year 1910 has been wanting and loving Louis more than anything in the world.

And just... the fact that he was doing it—standing up there and speaking the twisted lines given to him by Armand and the coven—only because he was there to save Louis. The fact that his only mission was Don't Let Louis Die. The fact that they made him sacrifice his daughter to save his soulmate. Wield their love as a weapon in a last desperate attempt to make sure Louis keeps on living. No matter what, even if it meant Louis would never forgive him. Even if it meant Louis would always hate him.

Lestat just needed Louis to not die.

there's this line by poet séamus isaac fey that i believe applies perfectly to the penultimate timeline sol that had erased her memories from sunjae's mind: "i want to stop mourning you / before we've met."

i don't think we truly appreciate the sacrifice sol made to keep sunjae safe. she went back in time and erased all possibility of the greatest love she had ever experienced — she spent fifteen years mourning a person that technically didn't even exist: she loved a boy that only bloomed within the borders of her own memory.

can you imagine how lonely and exhausting it was for her? grieving for a boy who'd forgotten that he had gathered her face in his hands, once — had loved her once. not just forgotten — but entirely erased. keeping track of his movements and whereabouts so she'd be able to stay away from him: all to keep sunjae safe. anything to keep him safe.

sol's love for sunjae is so selfless and strong and noble. sunjae would die for her, but sol would live for him: suffer in silence, submit to the agony of separation; the yawning emptiness of time without being at his side. she was ready to go through it all. she DID go through it all.

we really don't give her enough credit. 💙💛

Okay now i gotta know... As someone who only plays on English server but craves every bit of info on chapter 7....

What's the spoon scene? You mentiond it in the Sebek UM poster post.

no pressure tho, I'm just curious

oh, it's a little flashback scene to Silver and Sebek's first magic lesson (moving a spoon) -- it's one of the missable ones, so there's nothing plot-important in it, I just thought that one was really extra cute! 💚 Lilia does such a bad job of explaining how to use magic ("you go, like, SHWOO") that Malleus steps in and teaches them instead. so it's basically just Silver and Sebek staring intently (and audibly) at a spoon while Lilia flails around making noises and Malleus reminisces about how Lilia's teaching style has always been fascinatingly incomprehensible! pure sugary domestic fluff! just rubbing it in how absolutely terrible things have gotten :)

there are a bunch of cute flashbacks like that in the 7-81 and 7-83 maps; it's definitely worth getting them all if you are also fond of the diafam! I swear, this update has somehow managed to make me even more obsessed with this idiot dad and his three adopted dingbats and that should not have been possible.

HELLO PETRIGROF NATION 🤩🤩 Fionna and Cake finale destroyed me and made me very sad so I couldn't draw anything except silly doodles to cope pls enjoy

[ayquemepierdolanovela]

WHAT'S JUST HAPPENED!!??

First, they take Jaime reading the diary completely off the table after we’ve been waiting for weeks for him to read all about Marta’s feelings. Turns out he doesn’t need to because she’s very obvious.

And Luz!? When I tell you I almost shat a brick when Jaime told her Marta was in love with a woman when I skimmed the episode before work. Oh, my. Luckily I was all alone and nobody saw me lose my shit.

Luz gave him such good advice, though. She and Carmen are vying for the best BFF in Toledo and possibly the world. And it totally worked. The way Jaime touched Fina's arm was very telling; he's made a decision and it's going to be good for us.

And don't get me started on the preview, I’m so anxious about tomorrow. Fina’s taking her last shot, and it’s romantic and desperate and everything I want to see. Don't even think about saying no, Marta, or else I'll have to travel back in time into a fictional world and slap you in the face and your face is a very good face and I wouldn't want to ruin it.

Legacy is one of the major themes of KinnPorsche, and the show is brimming with examples. Physical legacies like the rings and the house, and so many psychological ones. Legacies of hate and love, of regret and trauma, of abuse, of honesty and deceit. 

We never get to meet papa T(though we get a pretty clear picture of what he was like), so that leaves Korn as the primary arbiter of legacy in the show. In one way or another, he directs almost all of it. And hey, it’s an outsider that wears a tattoo that says ‘there’s no legacy as rich as honesty’ because that sure as hell isn’t a Theerapanyakul motto. There are two specific legacies that I want to mention though. 

“Tragically, your worst enemies will always come from your own household.”

I’ve gushed before over the three sets of brothers and how they’ve defied the legacy of sibling hatred and harm that came before them when it would have been easy to do the opposite. I will always stan sibling love and I adore all three sets of relationships. But the rewatch made me actually delve more into that legacy. 

The first time I watched, I just assumed that Korn and Gun had always been in competition, always hated each other, and that was the legacy that got passed on to their sons, but I don’t think that’s true at all. I think at one time, Gun looked up to and admired his big brother. I think it was them and Nampheung against papa T... or at least Gun thought it was. Until the events at the Kittisiwasds house. 

When everything goes down, Gun isn’t angry, he’s in disbelief, he’s devastated by Korn’s actions, something that I don’t think would be true with the relationship we see between them now. Now, he knows his brother is a cold-hearted bastard. Tellingly, when he finds out Nampheung is alive, he is shocked back to the Gun he was then, not the cold, angry man he is most of the series. 

Korn crafted a new legacy that day, one of broken siblings, competition, distrust, and hatred between the main family and the minor one. And I think he did it deliberately to cover his ass. Who would ever believe a word that came out of the Gun we see against benevolent dictator Korn? Everything Gun said would look like jealousy. As long as Korn kept poking at Gun and the minor family with a stick, he never had to worry about any of them developing a relationship with his sons.

He never had to worry about Gun stumbling onto any information he shouldn’t about Nampheung, Porsche, and Chay. He never had to worry about any of his secrets coming out. Even Kinn didn’t really understand why his uncle hated his family... he thought it was a matter of money and power envy. And Korn wasn’t wrong. It barely took anything for Porsche and Vegas to stumble onto part of the truth, just a little communication.

The kind of communication that Korn spent years sowing distrust to prevent. (Porsche is sorry, not sorry to keep fucking up your shit, Korn.)

That means if you were to encounter the pressures these king snakes exert, your heart would fail to pump blood—that's how strong this is," 

Korn is a king snake. He holds on tight to everything he loves, and everything he hates with the same fervor, constricting until they can’t breathe, until their hearts can’t beat. His sons have learned this lesson well, flailing in his coils their whole lives. Khun is trapped in the house, with lots of toys and some playmates to keep him occupied. Kinn is trapped under the weight of family love and responsibility, and Kim is trapped on a barely visible leash, No matter how much freedom it seems he has, it’s still an illusion. It’s no surprise that they do their best to reject that legacy from Korn. They actively strive to be different from their father in the way that they handle relationships. 

Khun

 Kinn, 

And Kim all let go. 

We know it’s not easy. They all try to be stoic about it, Khun playing it off like he's not hurt, not missing his baby brother and leaving first, Kinn and his stiff upper lip, waiting until Porsche is gone before kicking at the handcuffs, the symbol of them tied together and Kim who tries to stifle all emotion, holding it in until he can’t any longer. We see the heartbreak and regret but they still let go. They will wish and want and ask, but they won’t be their father, won’t tie someone in ways they can’t escape, won’t hold them with lies and manipulation, won’t smother the thing they love until there’s barely any life left. 

There’s a line that Korn uses from the utterly fantastic, amazing fic Wings of a Butterfly https://archiveofourown.org/works/39799374

  .... “you can’t sharpen a blade with silk” and I think about it often okay, because the great irony of Korn’s legacy is that in some ways, Kinn modeled himself after the man Korn pretends to be, not the man he actually is. Yes, he’s more impulsive and irreverent — gifts from his mother as he’s told us, but the kindness, the gentleness, the guy that cares about his people, like Pete said, that’s all from the mask Korn wears. 

Korn spent a lot of years moving pieces on the chessboard, only for everybody else to wind up playing another game entirely. His sons won’t be like him, and his nephews won’t be like the man helped create (Porsche, Porchay, and Pete are sorry, not sorry to fuck up your shit, Korn). He may get to write history, but he won’t get to write the future.

Can't stop thinking about Grease: ROTPL as always and I need to talk about it (again, I know) so here are my predictions I guess. SPOILERS!! PART 1

Episode 7 - Cruisin' For Bruisin' (a line from Kenickie) So first, I already talked about it but I think and I hope that the episode will begin with the T-Birds leaving the school in ep 6. They wear the same clothes so we must go back in time in ep 6 like in ep 3 with Hazel and then follow them at that casino(?) for their musical number that we see in the promo pictures.

Oh, my bain is on fire. Look at this picture. I found it on IG, I think that there are TV promos/ads airing in the US that we don't get to see here in europe. So thank you to the people who shares screenshots. Anyway, look at this picture!!

Yep, we're are definitely going back in time in ep 6 because, I don't know about Buddy's clothes BUT look at Richie's. Same black shirt AND a black eye (cruisin' for bruisin', right?)!! So my boy is maybe gonna pick a fight in that casino or somewhere else and look at Jane's clothes. Yep, same clothes that we saw in half of ep 6. So my theory is that Richie will go see Jane at her house after these 2 days (?) that passed in ep 6, don't know if Buddy will be already there or if he will arrive after Richie but they probably gonna challenge each other in a race. I hope we'll see the boys race BUT he looks like we'll see the girls.

No idea about what is gonna happen. Maybe Richie won't show up? Maybe his parents will see his black eye and he won't be able to leave the house for once. But the thing that I don't understand is that Jane and Susan are not even near having their driving license. So, I'm confused about that. Also look behind Susan in the picture, Hazel and Wally are very close! Oh, and I think Buddy's gonna have a song too in that episode and I hope to see Gil and Olivia too 😭. I don't know if Richie and Jane will make up in that episode because I have another theory for episode 8.

Episode 8 - Or At The High School Dance... So this episode must be the dance episode. In the trailer we see Wally dressed up at the school so I don't know if the dance will be at Frosty Palace or if it will start at the school and will eventually move at Frosty Palace.

So here's my theory and that's why I don't think Jane and Richie will make up in ep 7. I can find everyone in that picture (everyone = Pink Ladies AND T-Birds) except for Richie. I think he won't want to come at the dance or maybe he won't be able to attend at first. But he's gonna show up eventually and have a conversation with Jane (can't find the picture of the two of them dressed up) and then there will be another song with Richie dancing with everyone in Frosty Palace.

For the dance I don't know if the girls will go all together or if the boys will invite them. Deep down, I want Gil to ask Olivia to go. And same thing with Potato and Nancy but either way, I know that they all gonna be together no matter what so I'm happy.

Episode 9 and 10 - We don't know the titles yet but I think ep 9 will be the school fair for maybe the winter break and the end of the year '54.

No idea what is happening here with Hazel but we can see that Jane is wearing that green bandana and that means they are definitely saying the Pink Ladies Pledge at the fair.

The Pink Ladies pledge: to act cool, to look cool and to be cool. 'Til death do us part. Think Pink! (from Grease 2!!)

I love how she has her hand on her heart. I'm so excited for that scene 😭 There's so much Grease 2 vibes in that show that only people who appreciates that movie can notice and I love it!!

Anyway I can't add more pictures so I'm gonna make another post.

tumblr is really bad a politics actually. please don't form opinions about political systems on tumblr. oh my god. this made me literally blind with rage and confusion for a second there.

just because the mainstream democratic party has started using "threats to democracy" as part of its campaign strategy this election cycle doesn't mean this is untrue?? please don't let your hatred for mainstream democratic political messaging make you also hate that it has FINALLY cottoned onto the fact that the american right would like us to stop living in a multiracial democracy/pluralistic society. that is a good thing, actually. it's a good thing that mainstream politics are finally willing to acknowledge that one of the two major parties is only interested in trying to destroy the political system we live under, is only interested in shoving gravel down our toilets so they blow up.

we do actually have a democracy. it's not a total direct democracy. there are a shit ton of flaws in the system. this is in part because, in fact, it's a relatively young democracy! I agree with nikole hannah-jones' assertion that the u.s. has only been a democracy for real since the 1960s, when civil rights legislation Black americans fought and died for started going into effect.

which is why this moment, 60 years on, is so important. it's a radical stress-testing of a system that it's important to preserve so that we can continue to make more progress from this point. we have to prove that the system can work this way.

i get it. voting sucks. gerrymandering has backed so many of us into a corner. we've politically and legally incentivized imprisoning members of minority populations so that they can no longer vote. the supreme court actually gutted some of that legislation passed in the 1960s that made us into a real democracy, sending us into the period of backsliding that we're currently in.

do you know how many of the candidates I voted for in my last election won? zero. ZERO. every single one of them lost. I get it, okay? this all sucks! it makes you feel powerless! but you can't let that feeling win.

that feeling is a lie they're trying to sell you so that you give up. so that you stop fighting for the democracy we've got. "bourgeois democracy" get the fuck out of here. oh my god. shut up.

[sunlighthroughthe-ashes]

there's this fragment from a poem by armenian translator and poet paruyr sevak; that i wholeheartedly believe sums up the nature of sunjae's emotions towards sol: "you have become so tender / and so vulnerable, / as if you're living without skin. / — that's love."

sunjae has no defenses when it comes to sol. from the first time he looked at her warm, sunlit face; to that last cold night in the darkness; lying on an open road — his heart was hers and hers alone. he belonged to her across timelines, across universes: across and beyond the finality of death itself.

he offered up his whole soul; his whole self — to sol without so much as a protest or murmur. he handed over all the unguarded parts of him; the aching intimacies, the hungers of a thousand hopes. "have it," the soft solemnity of his eyes always said to her, in every single scene. "have it all. have all of me. who else but you was meant for all this possession?"

with or without his memory, sunjae never tried to resist the spell of sol's smile, the sacred song of her touch. he surrendered to loving her in a heartbeat — he was fated to fall for her in every universe.

he never fought it. he never tried to hide it; nor the naked longing that lingered in his mind: a beacon of light leading him to sol. sunjae walked into his love for her with his arms wide open.

and he never let go, not even for a second. 💛💙

yk you can ship bucktommy or buddie, both or neither without being a total asshole, right? because i think some people need to hear that. idk maybe just enjoy what you enjoy and let other people do the same? not everyone has the same opinion as you and i'll be dammed if this keeps me from enjoying the little wee woo show.

[super-who-locked-me-in-here]

Enlightening conversation I just had with my mom:

Mom: "I don't understand the whole House and Wilson thing. I mean, Lord help me, I watched that entire show and I never thought they were more than just really good friends!"

Me: "Okay but what about the whole episode where they pretended to be gay to mess with a neighbor and Wilson actually proposed to House, or the b plot where House is trying to get Wilson to furnish their apartment without letting a woman to tell him what to do and Wilson is like 'but you're telling me what to do' and House is like 'and?' or what about that time House told a woman he was thinking about Wilson while having sex with her?"

Mom, nodding: "No it's just that there's no tv shows anymore where two male leads can just be really good friends. House and Wilson's friendship is so deep it transcends into brotherhood." (dear readers please keep in mind she's also said this in the past about Dean and Castiel and Steve and Bucky)

Me: "Do you think my friendship with [best friend of multiple years who I regularly flirt with and have kissed a couple times and am constantly in a 'will they won't they' battle with and we were both a big reason the other came out as queer, all of which my mom knows] is so deep it transcends into brotherhood?"

Mom: "...Yes."

Me:
