He dared to fly high and beyond
With a will that burned hotter than the sun itself
Outstretched his hand
Just to feel a modicum of its light
Longing to possess its brilliance, power, legacy
Enveloped and overwhelmed
His wings of crystals cracked and he fell
Down into the heart of the sea
Just before the tides claimed him
From the skies, came down them
and reached a hand for his.

So I drew these under the assumption that diane used to be part of kitty's crew and realized after that i don't actually know if that's tru or not so uuuuuhhhh probably should've just waited for the movie to come out to start drawing shit but š
#my art#doodles#the bad guys#diane foxington#tbg kitty kat#the bad guys 2#IF thats the case tho i have so many thoughts about it already#its juicy. u kno#not to compare them to fluffyvenom but i feel like there ARE parallels IF THIS IS THE CASE.#like imagine being so close with this girl for who knows how long#you understand each other. you support each other. you're there for each other.#you her and ur other friends are like a genuine family#its you against the world#and then one day she decides to say fuck all that and leave#and you dont understand why. you feel betrayed#she did what was best for her but what was WORST for YOU#as the audience we know diane did the right thing for herself. but imagine being kitty & her crew#imagine the resentment that would fester on BOTH sides#(and obv did based on the fight snippets we got)#but the love will always still be there. the betrayal wouldn't hurt otherwise#anyway if all of that turns out to not be relevant just forget i sad anything !!!!!#ok love u bye#also do they have a ship name?? pls enlighten me if so#I'll never abandon crimsonwebs in my heart btw but. come on

i've been thinking and thinking about the significance of the sunflowers parapai sends sky after their first face-to-face meeting post-one night stand and it suddenly hit me why it made such an impact on sky.
prior to this point, sky's attracted to prapai, no question about it. the physical attraction is there pretty much as soon as they lay eyes on each other. even at their one night stand, regardless of the reasons why (tbh my read was that sky wanted it in the moment to feel like he had a way to wrest control over (a) his own body and (b) the situation), sky at least physically seemed to enjoy himself. but its the lack of emotional connection, after the endorphin rush is over, that makes him feel like crap, makes him second-guess his worth and leave feeling used and hallow (and boy oh boy does peat manage to show that so well - he's so so good at wounded).
but then prapai comes back 3 months later, teasing and playful and flirty and still so attractive. sky recognises his own attraction (his self-talky bits are cute but they break my heart), but the one night stand was good enough physically for him to know he doesn't want just that. he doesn't just want to just feel physically good. and he's stuck in the thought that he can never have anything more.
when prapai tells him he's going to pursue him in sky's dorm lobby, he's startled but not shaken. he goes up to his room, essentially tells himself to get out of fantasy land, peeks out the window - but he still fundamentally doesn't engage with the idea that there could be anything real between them.
but the sunflowers and "remember that this wind's watching over the sky". it's protection; its safety.
sky's visibly shaken (peat, oh peat, the vulnerability you managed to convey) and i think this is probably the first time prapai actually manages to get a little bit past the wall sky's already put up between them. and prapai's such a flirty idiot i 100% think he didn't have a clue what he was saying, really. he just thought he was being clever with the unusual flower choice and playing with their names, but in a way that's what makes prapai so perfect for sky.
he's... well, guileless. he's almost accidentally exactly what sky needs to even consider falling in love after everything that happened to him. there's something very clumsy about the charm prapai has and i suspect it's because he's never really had to work to charm anyone before - his looks, money, and status do most of the heavy lifting for him. the fact that he isn't an absolute jerk is pretty much enough for most to be pulled into his orbit. but this works so well for sky because i think someone more suave and actually adapt at wordplay/flirting would have made him run for the hills, because it would have come across as manipulation given his trauma. but prapai is so bad at it (prapai: 'if you don't try it, how do you know?' sky: you absolute fucking idiot did you forget how we met?) that it actually sounds genuine. it makes it safe.
fuck, safety. i feel like it's something everyone wants on some level, but when you've gone through something like that... something where you're betrayed on such a fundamental level by someone you trust, safety becomes the core of what you need. i can deal with hunger, with pain, with loneliness, with being overworked, with being called names or scolded by others - as long as i can maintain that safety. and for sky, that safety always came when he was in his own hands. the only one he could trust with his safety was himself (even as a child, he had no one; alone in Bangkok with a mother who left and a father who cared but was too far away). its why sky isolates; why he'll help his classmates but never ask for help; why he takes the bullying som dishes out without a word.
then prapai comes in and takes care of him when he's sick. his safety is outside of his hands - terrifying. but... also such a relief. i cannot stress how much this was exactly what sky needed. if rain had taken care of him, he would've kicked rain out the second he became conscious. rain doesn't have the backbone/will/character to force the issue. but what prapai did was prioritise sky's safety (health) and for the first time in years, it didn't have to be in his own hands...
(prapai then goes on to makes a lot of other accidentally good choices - comes to Last Cheer and gives him medicine, a place to rest his head, and a quiet space so he can do what he wants (stay to the end, not worry his friends). care, offered at sky's terms. even the bits where prapai's a visibly horny idiot, nearly edging past sky's boundaries but not is counterintuitively perfect because sky sees that prapai's going against what he wants to make sure sky's expressed boundaries are honoured and sees how it costs him something - but, also, i think that speaks more to (a) prapai's growth as a character now that he has a focus that goes beyond the instant gratification of physical release and (b) mame knows her characters and prapai is built to be perfect for sky. honestly most of the skill in writing prapai was the change was gradual enough to be believable in the context of this world. but i digress.)
i just... really adore what prapai did for sky here. like, utter relief that comes from having someone take care of you when you've had to take care of yourself for so long. like a heavy burden suddenly rolling off. and the sunflowers are cheesy but they're the first real hint that this is what's going to make prapai succeed with sky. its not (just) that he's attractive and persistent - that wouldn't have been enough ultimately. (for eg. had phayu pursued sky, he would've also been attractive and persistent but boy would sky have run for the hills with that kind of pursuit. phayu's hot but the manipulation in how he got rain... sometimes i'm baffled by this fandom's take on phayu vs prapai because it's always prapai that everyone calls shady/problematic when he's actually very transparent and honest with his intensions with sky vs the mind games phayu played with rain. i don't have an issue with it because of how rain's character's written - he needed a phayu to get past his internal hang ups - but still, baffling.)
but its how he continually offered to take on the burden of care from sky. so sky could finally actually address the other things he needed. sky didn't have the (physical OR emotional) bandwidth to even consider a relationship until prapai because no one was taking those things off his plate (feeding him, making sure he rests, making sure he took care of himself. like - even when prapai just reminds sky to take care of himself, that's taking some of that mental load off sky having to remember for himself).
honestly this is why when in the scene when sky opens the door to prapai when he's half asleep and then lets prapai feed him, and lets him put him to bed, undress and dress him (all things that would have triggered sky to hell before) - I actually believe it. i believe that sky feels safe around prapai because he's done nothing but actively, persistently offer that to sky over and over again by this point.
anyway, yes, i just really love the sunflower scene for how it gives us that first real glimpse as to why prapai really was perfect for sky.
#prapaisky#prapai#sky#love in the air#lita#love in the air the series#love in the air meta#i have a lot of feels about sky and prapai's brand of wooing#i know i'm 3 years late to this train but someone please talk to me about them#i love them so much and i wish we could've had more#also why does everyone hate mame so much i'm so confused#but lita is also the first bl i've ever seen so someone pls enlighten me#also i've only watched love sea after that so... i've watched 2 fortpeat shows and i'm already /undone/ TwT#rambles about shows i'm watching#<my posts>

IM SURE YOUVE ALREADY EXPLAINED IT SOMEWHERE but.. may i ask about the story in bitter choco decoration. I like those guys :)
youād be surprised but i apparently have never talked about these particular ocsā story in detail on this particular tumblr blog. so i shall do just thatā¦. i tried to summarize but it got kind of long oops, as it always does when i talk about my mentally ill ass ocs
so! as u might already know the guys in the video are rikki and william, and the animatic happens from rikkiās pov. rikki is basically the golden child of the familyāsmart, well-behaved, always keeping her parents satisfied, etc etc. generally she is put under a lot of pressure a lot of the time. and then her family decides to get an insurance child so to speakājust in case rikki fails in lifeābut they donāt want to go through the trouble of raising another one, so they decide to adopt.
thatās where william comes in, baby! now he is decidedly Not the golden child. he is the problem child. parents thought they could reform himāwell, not much to show for that. but him and rikki surprisingly get along, even though theyāre opposites. william actually gets someone who cares about him for once and wants him to be okay, and rikki gets someone who wants her to be more bold, stand up to others and consider what she herself wants instead of people-pleasing. he even gets her to make snide jokes and cut her hair. theyāre best friends, itās nice. for a while.
but, none of it is perfect. you know how rikki always seems to be smiling even though sheās clearly not having a good time? and you know all those red eyes that appear pretty much everytime williamās on screen? rikki has so many layers of masks that william never really feels like he actually knows her. and william, even though he mostly wants rikki to do her own thing, can still kind of be selfish and controlling (because heās a teenager, and traumatized, and scared of losing his best friend, but it doesnāt change the fact that rikki feels the same pressure from him as she feels from their parents).
so this all culminates when theyāre in high school and rikki buries herself in workāshe wants to secure a good education and a good job so that she can actually get them both out of this shitty abusive household. for the first time in her whole life, she has a Goal that she personally has chosen. she now has someone to work hard for. but she also ends up spending a lot less time with that someone because of her studying, and it eats at william and eats and eats untilāit turns out rikkiās hard work has actually paid off. sheās gotten a scholarship, and she can leave for a good university and sheās finally achieved something that she herself has wanted to do and not anyone else. for both of them. for her brother.
except her brother doesnāt react with support, like usual. heās not cheering her on now that sheās fulfilled her dream and beyond. he just looks betrayed. because theyāre best friends. they promised to be there for each other, to get out of this hellhole house together. how could she leave him behind? how is he supposed to make it without her, who is he going to have on his side? william loves her and wants her to be happy but he doesnāt want her to leave.
so in turnābecause rikki is a) an avoidant little bitch who would rather masterfully evade conflict than try to have an opinion and b) doesnāt want her brother to hate her forever and not speak to her ever againāin turn, rikki, as always, as second nature, lies. i mean, itās her dream, itās something sheās been working towards for years, but sheāll stay. sheāll leave it behind. it makes perfect logical sense to herābest of both worlds: she doesnāt spend the last summer at home with her brother resenting her, and she still gets to actually go to university. it is basically flawless.
all up until, you know, the day comes where she actually has to move out and go to university. and william inevitably finds out that she lied to him. and they fight. itās not good. itās not happy. they end up separating on really bad terms, and not talking for the next 7 years because william runs away from home pretty much soon after rikki leaves (itās not shown in the animatic but he does go MIA, rikki visits home once on holiday to find that her brother is just Gone, no one knows where he is, her parents couldnt give less of a shit, not great all around!!!) then rikki ends up graduating and looking for an easy first job, just to kind of set her foot in Job World.
unfortunately, it is also the exact same easy, convenient job that her brother ends up picking. hoo, boy. long time no see.
#suffice to say. their current relationship. is. Um. strained to put it lightly#it does not spark joy#they both think the other didnāt care about them and abandoned them#even better than that rikki sort-of-tried-not-to-think-about-it-but-still-sort-of-thought that her brother mightāve been dead for years#so. thatās also fun#they have a really fun relationship and it makes them amazing coworkers#and their other coworkers do not feel like they are children of divorce witnessing another silent fight#when they have to deal with rikki and william#cramswering#amd yes the eyes in the animatic are a symbol of pressure. white ones are just general pressure + from rikkiās family#and the red ones are pressure from william in specific. u can see as the animatic goes on that the red eyes appear more and more#and yes as you can see i hve done it again and created fucked up siblings in the petri dish of my mind. but they came first before the#mentally ill robot siblings. and yes they were very much inspired by the stan twins. the first iteration for willās and rikkiās backstory#was almost like a gravity falls rewrite. except they were just best friends. Then 2 years ago i was enlightened by holy visions and ever#since then theyāve become the worldās most insane codependent siblings to exist#but do not fret for one day they might talk it out maybe. and by that i mean fight it out and make everything even more awkward#you know how it is

can ppl in this fandom like... stop... implying that transmasculinity in hcs or (especially) canon is shallow or misogynistic or even transmisogynistic on princible, like literally just by being prescent in someones mind or in the text. like that doesnt fuckin feel good. thats kind of really nasty to imply. if its not okay to say about other trans experiences, maybe dont say it about this one either. why is there a weird little exception here. yall KNOW how much that sucks to hear all day every day. what the fuck
#my t#idk how to tell the hs fandom that every piece of trans coding in roxy in hs1 can be read as transmasc too. like transfem and transmasc#at the same time from the EXACT same reasons. its almost like we all share experiences just by way of being trans. weird i know#its almost like being trans rlly truly highlights what it is to be human and how we are all in fact at the end of the day human together#i just want everyone to stop trying to 'poke holes' in other fans trans hcs FULL STOP across the board no matter who they are#or what the hc is. its needlessly hurtful and more often than not trips into real peoples dysphoria which then#makes the target more likely to lash out. so the person poking them abt it can do a ''SEE? THEYRE ALL MEAN ONE OF THEM#WAS MEAN TO ME JUST NOW'' routine. its so obviously a 'im not touching u!!!' playground maneuver like holy fuck grow up#if you wanna fight for transfem/me folks right to just exist random fans personal headcanons is not the fuckin time or place#the XY in roxys name could be read as her having been DMAB or it could be hussie having a long running giggle about him preordering#his own transmasculinity. roxys colour being pink could be bc shes a girl or it could be compcis!!!#roxys desperation for a bf is from loneliness in canon but its often read as her feeling like she needs one to be a real girl#it can ALSO be read as another aspect of him struggling with compcis and comphet esp w/ his fantasies abt being 'a mother'#yknow what i never fuckin see that rlly highlights the fact that this is just a shitty 'girls rule boys drool' thing? theres like. no#discussions on the potential of roxy being any kinda intersex. absolutely none. he could be mtftm for all you fuckin know#but oh yknow being mtftm is A Shallow Read so we cant have that. hs is only for girls didnt you know we need to terf- i mean turf#out every single instance of queer mascness bc its Evil in the text didnt you know#god help the fandoms word of god token trans boy dirk strider for 'choosing' his eternal misery while everyone else is enlightened#by way of transforming into a girl. bc we must place girlhood on an inhuman pedistal of perfection and niceness and joy and rainbows#like what IS this mahou shojo brand gender essentialism???? im fuckin sick of it#can we remember that girlhood isnt & wasnt safe or joyful for everyone & that that can translate into how we curate our fandom experiences

I don't get why people hate the timeline so much, its not like you can't pretty much completely ignore it when you play the games. The only time it even approaches mattering to the story is when there is an explicit sequel like botw and totk or zelda and zelda 2
Hey sorry your ask got lost in the sauce of my broken tumblr, but: yeah!
I mean, I get why in some sense. It's been a heated point of debate and I think some people understandably resent the space it has taken not only in fandom discourse, but in how people began to understand the game and its narrative aesthetic choices. There is such a thing as over-rationalizing everything to hard logic, and sometimes it's just not the fandom for that --especially when you begin to forget it's all just fan theory and start to forget what the games are supposed to be like and evoke beyond just strict facts displayed in a linear way.
What I think bugs me with TotK in particular is that it both evokes and relies on continuity and the idea of a timeline, of archeology, of history itself, while being so loose and vacant with it that it both is doing Timeline Shit while also completely failing to understand why some parts of the fandom were invested in Timeline Shit to begin with.
But that's just my two cents of course!
#asks#tloz#timeline#totk critical#thanks for the ask!#I do... feel two ways about that myself#I think pure evocation is genuinely one of zelda's greatest storytelling strengths#that mood is sufficient and enough in itself and doesn't always need justification#it is the way the games center story --and that's genuinely wonderful and a strong take on narrative in games#as something freeflowing and accompanying gameplay rather than the opposite#and to ignore that and focus on hard facts all of the time kind of misses the point of the games' stories to a degree#BUT#I also get quite annoyed at the weird condescencion towards fans that do decide to engage with the stories more factually#especially since this is either revelatory regarding some of nintendo's choices#(that the aesthetics of evil are so tied to The Desert TM while taking so many inspirations from european fairy tales for example)#(it's not neutral even if we ignore ingame āloreā)#or just a great fodder for creativity and narrative play#and it is a part of the IP too!! just as much as dungeons and items and musics and curiosity-driven exploration!!#I do have beef with people not resonating with that aspect thinking others that do so are just stupid or childish#and that you can only have an enlightened relationship with zelda if you like it āthe right wayā#(which is somehow always mechanics/logic-driven which is. interesting to me.)#(or in a completely passively aesthetic way as in āI like fairies they're prettyā)#but you know it's the weird Triforce Shirt Dude stigma thing#that notion that you can (and must!) Love Zelda Deeply and Defensively#but you cannot be *passionate* about Zelda#then it's weird and immature#I don't know I feel like there's a lot to analyze in that arbitrary dychotomy#anyway sorry for the mega novel in the tags!!

sometimes you'll meet a person you've loved for so long, and then they will tell you they haven't felt the same about you. And you'll question them and gain so much clarity, that the love flies straight out of the window.
some people are meant to be lovers. some best friends. some good friends. some...just friends.
you think you were meant to be something more, but then you realise that you are only compatible in one way. there's nothing beyond that. and that's also not bad. it's not a downgrade, it's what's meant to be.
#i took someone seriously and i ended up falling for them badly lmao#turns out they like me and admire me but don't feel anything more.#i thought they'd confessed to me before but they'd meant things CASUALLY#the moment i heard that i was enlightened#now i'm pretty sure there is no universe that we are meant to be and i'm happy about that#nahi chahiye aise lovers bc#'casual' small talk friends ab naya label hai humara. it's not bad#it's just very gen z#but i'm at peace and so are they - win/win?#i'm not going to be someone on the backburner anymore so i'm happy#play hard feelings by lorde#i will enjoy life knowing there are so many different dynamics i am yet to experience w people#desiblr#being desi

The False Shepard, Here To Lead Our Lambs Astray
[ID: a digital drawing of an original, stylised Flatland character named Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is a vaguely humanoid character. She is depicted here with a seven-point star head with an eye in the centre, a clawed right hand and a left arm that is cut in half at the elbow - leading onto a white geometric hand. She has a broad chest that narrows into a thin torso. Her legs are cut out of frame - her body is only shown from the waist up.
She is stood in the centre with her arms held perpendicular to her body and the palms of her hands facing upwards. Over her right hand hovers a white crescent moon with a black earth shadow. Over her left hand hovers a black four-point star. She is smiling and staring slightly upwards. Her body is made up of black lines that get denser at the edges of her head, the bottom of her body and on her forearm.
The background is a stained glass window. There is a yellow and orange sun behind Elizabethās head with grey and pale blue glass around it, that fades to purple further down. Faint rays of light also shine out from the sun and into the corners of the canvas.
End ID.]
putting the background story and symbolism about this piece under the cut bc i feel like it really deserves an in-depth explanation
i canāt believe iāve never properly discussed it before, but Lizās main goal is to stop Chief turning out like his father.
after she tries and fails to kill their Chief Circle and instead kills his guard in Atlasās defence (and iāve decided that this is the incident where she loses her arm), she canāt risk taking any more blows like that. so instead of resorting to physical violence, she instead tries her hand at āpositive manipulationā to tear her problem from the root up.
she makes sure Chief has enough emotional ties to the lower classes (Atlas and Vance), irregulars (Ruth and Elijah) and lines (Liz, Ruth, Stella and Irene) for him to reconsider everything heās been told about them. this is all to make sure that when Chief Sr. kicks the bucket they have a somewhat more progressive next-of-kin lined up to take his place. this works for her as Liz first meets Chief when heās only about 15, so heās still pretty young and an impressionable teenager.
but Chief Sr is still alive so boo. he has a strong grip on everything and has Chief Jr pinned under his thumb out of fear. while he doesnāt know about Stella, he does know that this āfalse shepardā is up to something that involves his son. again, he still doesnāt know exactly who Liz is but heās working on figuring it out.
so this image of Liz - a large, dark, looming, unnerving figure - is made to fit the circlesā depiction of her. how the next Chief Circle and his daughter are locked in her clawed grasp, and she smiles almost mockingly about it. her prosthetic is replaced by a white geometric hand and it sticks out like a sore thumb, as though it makes her āunhumanā - but easily identifiable. her body is made up of a mass of lines, joined together in their force (danger !! women !!). the glass is only coloured around her head (the sun is the same as her colour palette when sheās not greyscale) and at her āfeetā (itās more like the bottom of her torso but you know what i mean) which is mostly shaped with triangles - as if sheās breaking their world of grey out over the blood of the circles (again, i use purple as circle symbolism). the sun is rising in the sky, as the dawn of a new day and a new era begins.
essentially, sheās a revolutionary of the lower class, and a tyrant to the upper classes.
#me when religious imagery (and women)#i was listening to Lacrimosa but with echoey reverb while making this and i feel like thatās somewhat relevant#again the title is a bioshock reference. iām sorry it will happen again#remind me to NEVER attempt a stained glass window piece again. iām dizzy#inspired by that post about sun-coded characters being violent rather than enlightening and moon characters needing the suns guidance#i act like liz is this silly lil guy but i swear she has an important story š#flatland#oc#elizabeth huntsworth#chief jr.#stella#tw religious imagery#tw eyes#tw scopophobia#š#will the circle be unbroken

okay as a fellow lesbian i need ur opinion on lesbian cherry with HEAVY comphetā¦.
ohhhhh okay. yes. i've never really thought about it to be totally honest but i like it i see the vision
cherry dating bob because hes got this huge crush on her, and everyone says theyd be perfect together. u know how parents put their little kids together and gush about how cute they are together?? thats cherry and bob
and she likes bob!! hes sweet and nice to her. so they should date right
and like. her besties all have their boyfriends, and maybe she doesnt really get how lovey-dovey they are with their boys, but not everyone can be bev and brill. and marcia and trip aren't a perfect couple so her and bob are fine, right?
i think cherry just thinks this is what love feels like and maybe everyone else was exaggerating a bit. but shes happy enough with bob, and she really cares about him and trying to help im through his family stuff
listen man i didnt know dating girls was even an option until 8th grade and cherry doesn't have queer friends to help her. i dont think she realizes things until like. college
after bob dies, she stops dating. it just doesnt feel right, or appeal to her really, and everyone lets her be because her boyfriend just got murdered
eventually her parents do the "cherry sweetie you've got to find a nice boy and settle down" and shes like damn. i guess i do
idk where she goes to college. but if its somewhere a bit more progressive.... cherry eventually learns what gay people are outside of the scary stories from home.
#this poor girl just didnt know there were other options#once she finds out what dating and loving someone is Supposed to feel like she is so enlightened and so so scared#sorry this is the 60s/70s oklahoma they cant just let gay people be happy </3#i havent decided if lesbian cherry is a hc im gonna fully subscribe to but i do love thinking about it and i think it suits her so well#she has always had a crush on ace AND bev btw. she just didnt realize thats what that was#ty for hearing out the yaps hehehehe#the outsiders musical#outsiders musical#the outsiders broadway#cherry valance#cherry the outsiders

me seeing any interview with da devs, past or present
#i very rarely read what they have to say bc i know itll be a waste of time#every so often they say something interesting or like actually enlightening but most of the time its just words#every interview is just āhope you're hungry... for nothingā#.txt#bioware critical#this feels mean but ive seen multiple people on my dash say very similar things so i dont feel as bad about it

Vaati headcanons hmm?
How do you think he dances? Does he have two left feet or is he pretty decent? If the latter, what does he prefer?
Oh I like this one! Mainly because I have never thought about it in depths so this is the occasion.
I do not see him having any interest in learning how humans dance in Minish Cap, although he probably knows of some Minish celebration/traditional dances. I absolutely see Minishs enjoying dancing and playing music. I am thinking mainly of an Irish like musical culture for them. So by that logicā¦ maybe Vaati being able to dance a jig is a thing. I donāt see him enjoying it though, because it would make him feel like a fool. I can imagine him as a Minish refusing to take part in any of these, or: he would at the beginning, then as his fascination for darkness in the hearts of men grows he would take himself too seriously to take part in any of these āsilly activitiesā.
But afterwards? He has many centuries to learn many refined skills, and (human) dance would be one of them. I think that he would be pretty decent, after all he has to show off that he is worthy of court like settings for personal pride matters, also probably to impress the ladies. That is, if he can ever turn back into his human form after Minish Cap. And as such, the one dance I can really imagine him dancing and enjoying would be the waltz.
Thank you for your submission, it was very fun <3

Not to start shit but there's no non-misogynistic explanation for hating Pattie or Jane
#i guess you could say the same about cyn or mo but no one seems to hate them#it's just the women who stand up for themselves who we want to villify#because omgosh you not wanting to be treated like absolute shit really hurt Paul's feelings :((((#bc as a woman it's your calling to absorb cruelty from āØspecialāØ men so they have more time and mental energy to be special little boys#sorry i had an irl conversation about jane that filled me with rage#saying you wouldn't have left 1960s era paul doesn't mean you're super nice and loving and special and better than jane#you're not a loving beacon of tender femininity#you have low self esteem#just the way ppl try to twist it to make jane a bad person just for wanting some basic decency and respect....#if she and pattie did a bunch of fucked up shit that i dont know about please enlighten me#bc all the judgement i see comes from unhinged Beatles fans who can't accept their fav has a history of treating women like shit#(and that they probably continued to have those tendencies even in their fairytale romances)#the beatles#jane asher#pattie boyd#paul mccartney#george harrison#op
