Twilight Clown Takes—Part 7

Featuring Twilight being both queer and homophobic, more deranged Rosalie fan dumb, and a random simping for Sarah J. Maas. On nom nom away

Twilight Is Homophobic AND Queer!!1!!

Or…and I’m just throwing it out there…Twilight is a romance and the romance genre are notoriously heterosexual???? To the point where one of its nastier tropes is the predatory gay villain (looking at you, Outlander)????

Hell, even now the number of homosexual characters in romances are low, mostly just limited to supporting characters. I suppose it’s improved in recent years, but even in fantasy romance you get, like, Mor from ACOTAR.

At least Clown OP has the self-awareness to know they are indeed writing fanfic.

But regarding the “Edward/Bella would never last and they would get divorced!!” clownery…what canonical basis is there even???? They could barely last six months apart without having a complete nervous breakdown. Yes, they are blinded by their own insecurities and delusions, but they eventually communicate and resolve their issues fairly easily. Their love proves greater and helps them overcome these.

You would think Kristen Stewart would have an easier time playing Bella if she were so obviously bi-coded. Instead we got the most awkward and ill-fitting performance of a major character in years, to the point where her version of the character is among the most hated film characters—ever. Part of it is definitely the stupid script and questionable direction, but there is also a matter of casting type. Bella is a modernized romance heroine while Stewart is a grounded indie actress who at BEST can play a major fantasy heroine—a more emotionally intelligent version of Katniss. Perhaps an animated TV show will be beneficial in that respect, in actually casting for the character.

Rosalie Fan Dumb

Bella: *wants to be a vampire*

Rosalie: How dare you, an autonomous individual different from me, make a completely different choice than what I would make!!!1!! 😡

Clown OP: Complexity 😍

Seriously, we have got to have a long talk about this fandom’s idealization of Rosalie resenting Bella her own autonomy and pissing on her own choices. Edward literally has the exact same position as Rosalie (except that homeboy doesn’t hate Bella for it and understands why) but he is criticized so much more harshly. What the hell is going on?

Also, Bella was gung-ho on becoming a vampire anyway, so this pregnancy did not change her plans in the slightest. Hell, it was her plan to get changed right after birthing Renesmee, so it was all on her terms. Let’s not pretend she was at any point coerced into vampirism! For all this whinging about Bella’s agency, it’s the anti fandom itself that refuses to acknowledge it.

Except that in Midnight Sun we do see Rosalie’s hostility from Edward’s POV and boy, is it super petty and irrational—she cannot even stand to be in the same room as Bella! It’s completely juvenile, which is well, par de course for vampires frozen in their adolescent state.

But again we have the victim blaming. Bella’s existence doesn’t endanger the Cullens; it’s the Cullens’ existence that endangers Bella, as Edward correctly notes and angsts about. The only way Bella endangers the Cullens is that she knows their secret—but of course, she would never tell, so it’s moot point. It’s not even on the table after the car accident scene.

Sarah J. Maas? You mean the author with prose like unseasoned rice? You mean the author with 80% of the most boring ass worldbuilding and 20% actual erotic sex scenes, her actual strength? You mean the author who literally turned her first love interest evil and stripped him of all his personality in the sequel just so that her female MC could end up with the fan favorite antagonist (who drugged her and made her dance suggestively in front of people)? That Sarah J. Maas? A better writer than Meyer? Really????

[yuri-is-online]

Love how we're both back on our ace shit at the same time <3. Also, I'm getting back into writing (just working on short stories before I get into fanfiction, and am very quickly realizing my flaws T-T) and I'm thinking about working on an 80s aduecyuu au. Yuu and deuce are punk because I'm punk 😗 but for a wider audience I'm thinking of making yuu grunge or hardcore? Something a bit more neutral. Don't know what Ace will be yet. He might get to be generic the 80s asshole jock 😍. Somebody gotta do it ace <3. But Grimm will be a weird ass cat who seems to have way too much of an attitude and seems a little too human?

But yeah. The au is just 3 idoit doing stupid shit, sharing a braincell, trying to figure out where the line between friendship and queer throuple is while trying to ignore the impending scene of dread because a lot of weird shit™ keeps happening in the background.

Also cater will show up at sometime. Don't know when. Don't know where. But by God I will make it happen, and he will be the skaterboy we all know he is.

Idk if lolitas existed in the 80s but if they did I'll make riddle ouji lolita for you ❤ or atleast ouji lolita adjacent

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! GO YOU! MAKE SURE TO TAG ME WHEN YOU DO!! I promise to be only a little unhinged in your comments.

That's the thing about writing. The more you do it the more you realize what you're bad at but that's not always a bad thing. You can't improve on what you don't know needs improving.

Don't pressure yourself to make Yuu grunge or hard-core for wider appeal. I think all twst writers put a little bit of themselves into their povs, so if you know punk the story will probably be a lot easier to write since that's you! (If you wanted them to be different than Deuce and Ace I'd vote trad goth. That style goes so fucking hard and so does their music bauhaus my beloved. Also i guess kind of fits with Ramshackle?) Is this meant to be a sort of classic horror vibes? Because I dig it. I think Stranger Things did us all a disservice by sucking ass and making people think 80s horror should die because it became too mainstream :/

I'm going to put my unhinged rambling about lolita under the cut but oh my God you don't have to do that I'm so grateful you thought to though I've got such a big smile on my face rn cccc;

OK so to make a very long thing short, yes lolita did exist in the 1980s but it didn't really look like anything it does today. It was pretty much all handmade, and though the first brands were around we have no idea what their peices looked like since the fashion wasn't really widely worn or photographed until the 1990s. It didn't even have its name until the 90s. Lolita as it exists today is very much a 90s/early 2000s fashion which is honestly wild to me. As for ouji, it pretty much grew alongside Lolita so that would also be a no go.

Given Riddle's backstory I can't really see him as an 80s lolita. He doesn't seem like the sewing type to me... but there is this one brand that helped influence Lolita fashion called PINK HOUSE that was stupid popular in Japan in the 80s. I'll link you to this blogspot article which is both about the brand and the misconception in English speaking spaces about the term "natural kei" but I think it suits Riddle if you wanted to give him a lolita like vibe. The tl;dr of the article is that it PINK HOUSE and it's original designer Kaneko was a staple in 80s fashion in Japan, and is referred to as just PINK HOUSE or Kaneko fashion. As it lacks the community or aesthetic of kei fashions or lolita it is not considered a part of those groups... which does sort of fit Riddle in a way as his mother isolates him from both 💀

I need 90s monkees fluff headcannons

WAAOW OKAY !!!!

after mikes heart attack in '93, the boys pampered him HEAVILY and did everything necessary to keep his stress down. this included LOTS of back and head rubs, a total takeover of ALL of his chores and general house work, and just generally a lot of tender, loving care. even though he griped a lot about it.

peter got to watch a lot his students grow up and become adults in the 90s and got very tearful at their graduations, while also happily welcoming many new students. sometimes his old students send him letters :) he hangs them up on the wall by his bed.

in the 90s, the monkee family welcomed a grand niece into the world, Genesis, Janies first daughter. In a family photo album, theres a photo of Mike holding the baby, crying so hard from joy that he couldn't even look at the camera properly.

this isn't 90s specifically, but late 80s. in the late 80s, Cici came out to her unkees as a lesbian, and spent a long time before that feeling very fearful of what they may think, even though they had never given her anything to fear before, but it was still very scary. she was met with overwhelming love and support, especially from uncle micky, a loud and proud bisexual.

this one isn't of any specific time period, but it's fluffy I think. The monkees have a way of greeting eachother, usually after ones been gone all day, where when one walks in, the other will hold out their hand, and the other will grab it kinda loosely and jiggle it around. it isn't like a hand shake at all, more like a jiggle. its real casual, it's almost like a kiss in its action. They do also kiss eachother though! it was joked about in the '97 special, but I think it's implied that they're all so used to asking eachother if the other wants a kiss, with how casual micky sounded about it.

later in the mid 90s when mikes put on a large amount of weight due to depression, I think micky of anybody doesn't give him a hard time about it, in fact I think he loves how mike looks and is always giving him big hugs. although I think he's aware of how unhealthy it really is for him. but he's cuuuuuuuuuute !!!!!!!!

mike got a step father in the late 70s whom he was very apprehensive of..he didn't like or trust him at all. but by the 90s he's accepted him completely and he calls him all the time! it's always so nice when the boys hear him on the phone sounding so happy to say "Hi dad!" ☺️

in the late 80s and early 90s, Cici fronts a new wavy punky type band and her uncles are so happy and proud of her and they attend as many of her shows as possible! they always clap the most and cheer the loudest ☺️☺️

although by the 90s the guys are much older and more mature, they never grow out of cuddling with each other like they did all those years ago. they'll still all find a way to fit into one bed and snuggle up to eachother. especially when the weather is cold and the air conditioning isn't quite doing the trick. mikes especially warm to cuddle up to in the mid 90s 😍

[cocogrrrl]

hello! can i request for a Michael (the tall goth kid) with a reader who has an ethereal aesthetic and appearance i think that would be so cute bc of their different looks and vibes😍😍

grace

hcs and drabbles of michael with an s/o who has an ethereal fashion sense!

michael x gn!reader no cws wc: 849

an: guess the horror movie i referenced in one of the drabbles who ever gets the right answer gets my love /lhj

I’m writing this off of the assumption that an ethereal appearance is grace, silky satin, white pearls, and all that jazz!

Michael isn’t big on PDA, but I feel like whenever he touches you, he does it so gently. He holds you so delicately in his hands like you’re a Faberge egg. Your graceful appearance only furthers this.

You break down the cold exterior he presents. It’s a side that even some of his friends haven’t seen—or at least aren’t used to seeing.

You were cuddled up against Michael’s side. You two were watching some shitty horror movie from the 80s—a common occurrence for the two of you. 80s horror movies weren’t your usual taste, but Michael introduced you to some really good ones like The Thing and Videodrome. The movie you two were watching was some apocalypse horror about some scientist who makes a deadly parasite. Frankly, the only reason you wanted to watch this movie was because Demi Moore debuted in it.  “This is so weird.” You said, face contorting into an expression of disgust as you watched the slug-parasite burst out of someone’s face once more. “Yeah,” he replied, finding your repugnance rather humorous. “This feels really Italian for some reason. Like, I know it’s American, but it feels like nothing there is in its right place.” “Mhm,” you hummed, burying your face in his side to cover the trashy imagery before you. You didn’t wanna watch more, all the gore was too much for you to handle. Michael seemed to pick this up since he gently grazed his fingers over your jaw, causing you to look up to him. He pulled you by the chin ever so delicately and nudged your nose with his to take your mind off of the crude scene before you two even for a moment.

He tries to match outfits with you!

Nothing that’s too on the nose, but something that goes along with what you’re wearing, you know?

He��ll message you in the morning, asking about your outfit of the day, and he’ll check his wardrobe if he has anything to go with it.

Whenever you two match, he loves to show off!!! He’s willing to actually not ditch classes and roam the school during breaks so that others can see that you two are matching. :3

As you were getting ready for school, you heard your phone buzz. michael 🤍 hey what are you gonna wear today? you im not exactly sure yet but i definitely wanna wear the flowy pants i bought last saturday when we went out :D  michael 🤍 alright With that, you shut your phone and continued going through your wardrobe to find the best possible top to go with your pants. An extra layer of pressure was added now that you was going to match outfits with Michael. You didn’t know just what to wear. A few minutes later, your phone rang with a notification again. Michael sent you a photo of himself with his outfit for the day. Attached was an “Is this okay?” to which you promptly replied with an affirmative yes. His outfit now sparked your creativity, and you now had something to base off on now.

He can and will spoil your ass!!!

Expect him to give you the most stunning and thoughtful gift you’ve ever received on a random Tuesday.

Why’d he do that? Nothing. Just felt like it.

“Hey, YN,” Michael called out to you in the hallways as you grabbed a few books in your locker, tapping on your shoulder. You turned to meet the face of the voice. “Hmm? Oh, hello, dear.” You grinned, pushing yourself on your toes to give him a kiss on his cheek. You saw him holding back a blush and a smile to your touch. “What is it?” You continued, asking what he approached you for. It wasn’t usual for him to go up to you like this—at least not before class since he usually got to class either super early or super late. “I wanted to give you this.” He said, handing you an ornately-decorated handbag. Your eyes lit up in excitement. You knew one thing from the gift so far—you were definitely gonna keep the bag. It was too pretty to throw out. “Can I open it?” “Yeah, yeah. Go ahead.” He nodded, resting himself on the locker adjacent to yours. The gift, or rather gifts, stunned you. What was inside was a pearl necklace, a flowery brooch, and a gorgeous poet’s shirt. “Michael… Why’d you get me this?” You said worriedly. You didn’t like the idea of him spending his money on you—especially if the things he got were pricey. “Why shouldn’t I? I was out with my friends yesterday at some antique shop, and I saw that. I knew you’d love it.” He smiled, quietly chuckling at your reaction. “You didn’t have to.” You replied, a pout on your face. “But I wanted to.” He reassured, placing his hands on your arms. “Well, thank you then.” You hummed, burying yourself in the crook of his neck.

DATING YNGWIE MALMSTEEN

OMGG ITS BEEN FOREVER IM SORRY🙏 MY MEDS ARE STABLE NOW. AND ALSO IF U GUYS DONT KNOW WHO YNGWIE MALMSTEEN IS JUST PLS PLS READ IT I THINK YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE HIM (HES ALSO A CAT PERSON!!)

also his name is pronounced “ing-vay” so u guys won't say some stupid shit like “yeeng-wee”💀

word count: 815

warnings: alcohol, arguments

dating Yngwie malmsteen, a guitar god, would definitely be something.

In the 80s, he was at the height of his career, and his band, Rising Force, was gaining popularity worldwide but you guys would probably start dating when he was already doing solo work.

If you dated him in the 80s, you would have experienced firsthand his passion for music and his intense personality. But it could have also been a rollercoaster ride, he has a temper and bad mood swings.

you guys could meet in different ways, maybe you were at one of his concerts and you caught his eye, or maybe you work in the music industry as a roadie, promoter, and meeting him backstage or on tour, or maybe you're also in a band and you open for his shows.

but most likely a party is where you guys would meet, he partied a lot just like any other.

yngwie would use pet names like sweetheart, love and darling, I can't really see him as a babe or baby person unless he was drunk off his ass or apologizing for something.

because this is the 80s and he was at the peak of his career and known for his intense personality and being all fiery (literally, he lit his guitar on fire on stage), i highly doubt he'd be afraid to show some pda. 

though it would be kinda rare to see him make out with you or grope you in places he knows that there will be paparazzi and stuff, but there's always that one rare picture of you two making out at a party that shows up 30 years later on pinterest LMAO.

but hed hold hands, hug, and kiss you wherever.

plus if you guys got engaged or something or just for fun, hed have a photo shoot with you (kinda boring though, it'd just be like any other photo shoot some rockstar had with their girlfriend)

now Yngwie never had a problem with drugs but was a major alcoholic  and he was quite a party animal, but when he drinks he's more loose and carefree and sometimes even goofy.

its mostly when he's sober that he acts like the guitarist version of axl rose lol.

he likes his wine, not much of a hard liquor guy. like if he were choosing a drink for himself, its definitely some kind of expensive wine or champagne, but if there was only whiskey or something wherever he is, he won't complain.

literally every interview I've seen him in he has a big ol glass of wine.

I can see you two taste testing wine, he'd just have a bunch of bottles on the table and you two would just constantly refill your glasses.

yngwie is veryyy dedicated to his work and very arrogant when it comes to playing guitar.

he doesn't let ANYBODY touch his shit like seriously, thats why he started doing solo stuff because he couldn't play with bands.

so with that he probably wouldn't let you in his studio. not like in a “no girlfriend zone” but if he's recording or just frustrated then he needs that time with no distractions (cus ur so distracting you pretty little thing rawr😍)

but if its just like a whatever day then you can be in the studio with him, hes fine with that.

and just to be a good boyfriend and make you feel included, he'd ask for your opinion but wouldn't really take it too much into consideration if you had a suggestion, but would get a little annoyed if you said you didn't like it.

arguments with him can be really intense and emotional, hes a passionate person with a temper and is known to be easily frustrated especially if he felt like he wasn't being heard or respected.

he would lash out at you and use strong language, he could be stubborn and refuse to compromise at times, which could make resolving arguments difficult.

making up after an argument would be kinda challenging, he holds grudges and is slow to forgive, he could be stubborn and take time to cool off.

However, if he did reconcile with you after an argument, it is possible that he would be passionate and sincere in expressing his apologies. He would likely be genuinely remorseful and would want to make things right again.

anyways I feel like hed really like telling you what its like in Sweden and you get to hear his Swedish accent that was still thick since he had only moved to America in ‘83.

and he'd tell you about his first band he made when he was 10, and how he would listen to queen and how he looked up to Bryan may, and how his younger brother plays drums.

he'd definitely talk about taking you to Sweden to meet his parents and older and younger brothers.

[nanjokei]

i know ive said it before a few months ago but even though i dont go there i feel like people are pretty meanspirited towards genshin fans. obviously one of the biggest games around is gonna attract people who are new to geek ish shit like video games and anime. which means its likely their opinions are likely to be unseasoned. i think theres an entire world that exists for teenagers and normies with smartphones that we arent seeing, maybe its a generational gap idk

like the people who are super into webtoons and genshin and god knows what else, younger people and normies, lack the etiquette that was basically beaten into our brains through years of frequenting forums and microblogging social sites (livejournal, tumblr) (this is a lie because most people lack etiquette to begin with) so they act unbecoming, get into fights, make claims about skinny twinks being daddy or whatever. mostly cuz they know nothing else. is it annoying? yeah, but it feels meanspirited to write all of them off, and all of genshin off. i dont play it, i tried it close to launch and found myself completely disinterested so after not even completing the tutorial i ended up dropping it, but i have a lot of friends who are normal and find themselves enjoying it unironically and theyre surprised that they do due to the overly exaggerated reputation it has. im just speaking in general, of course they have the same issues a lot of people have with genshin, in fact i think most people who Actually Play Games would...

in general i dont get the catastrophization of genshin. i feel like so many people attribute things to it that dont make sense, like how suddenly all anime character design, especially fantasy, has gotten worse. my own feelings on the designs is pretty neutral. but at the same time its like, a fucking anime game, idk, i dont have feelings on it to begin with because it just looks like most other anime games but hoyoverse flare is hoyoverse flare.

to begin with i don't think hoyoverse is to blame for fantasy designs sucking. i think that is completely dishonest to suggest. as a fantasy fan, i think that its an issue of decay and lack of interest in the genre. i wrote about my feelings in isekai before (hint: mostly positive) but its a fact that most people have no interest in fantasy anymore. its seeing a slight genuine revival recently, but i feel like most of people's exposure is from isekai that take a very minimalist and "modern" sensibility to the designs so as not to be cringe and over the top. here is a google search i did in november 2022 with the search term "anime elf"

i mostly use this cap to show that 1) this is an issue ive been concerned about consistently and 2) if you search "anime" anything these days you get a lot of ai art and that is just noise to me in this context. by the way, in nov 2022 if you searched "90s anime elf", the results are entirely deedlit lol. she's very pretty, and every anime aesthetic page on social media is eager to reshare her and erroneously go "80s anime is the best 😍😍😍" you know, the ova series and tv anime that came out in 1990 and 1998 respectively. its just a complete and utter lack of disinterest in the fantasy genre all around that leads to fantasy anime being swallowed up into nothingness and not being present in any zeitgeist. even tales of, a series that seemed inseperable from the conventions of the genre, has forsaken it. the super tropey anime fantasy jrpg doesn't exist anymore. even fire emblem keeps hiring artists that have no business designing characters in a medieval setting (kozaki, kurahana, pikazo). granblue FANTASY has entirely shed its final fantasy tactics inspo aesthetic and is increasingly releasing more characters distant from those sensibilities.

anyway, my point is that for over a decade now fantasy as us nerdy 20 somethings grew up with has been considered owakon and blasé. nu anime fantasy is either informed by wanting to smooth out the fantasy element as much as possible (see: rezero's character design sense. i have no comment on the story itself) or inspiration from anime MMOs that usually had more simple armor and clothing designs for most players who didn't pay up. its a whole issue from top to bottom, and frankly genshin has nothing to do with it. there are modern series clearly made by people who love the fantasy we grew up with. even those that have a different world view, like tensura, lampshades the protagonist's view of fantasy to the world he actually ended up in.

if anything genshin at least feels like its calling to SOMETHING. im not sure what, to be honest i dont really get the design thoroughline of it, and a lot of the designs are overdesigned, but i think some designs do feel reminiscent of a more familiar fantasy aesthetic (venti comes to mind).

of course its true that a lot of young artists take inspiration from genshin, you know, its one of the most popular games in the world, its like mind boggling hearing how big its install base is, but also i keep hearing that it had some kind of ripple effect on all character design in every game and anime ever. can anyone actually show me like even 3 examples of this? like, be honest with me. is that not peak catastrophizing? game has barely been out for 3 years, its not really enough for its ripple effect to suddenly change the world.

what you are complaining about is an issue that has been an issue since the 2010s. maybe you are only noticing it now that you have a new mediore hatesink to invest in. anyway yes this mediocre and halfhearted defense of genshin's fans was an excuse for me to rant about fantasy as a genre being on its death throes and how people are misattributing the tragedy to rant about some mediocre anime gacha game. i hope the recent popularity of series like dungeon meshi and frieren (i mention them bc theyre currently airing right now) makes people remember that fantasy can be good and pure soul. i hope we get a real tales of game soon also.

if you read this far please let me know what you think even on anon. its a topic that greatly interests me (anime fantasy, not genshin, i have nothing to say about genshin)

[aceofwhump]

Think my ask may have been eaten :( if not, then just ignore this, but any Face whump rec? (TV show not film!) Either good episodes or fics 😍

Oh boy you bet I do!!! Gosh I adore Faceman (and tv show over movie EVERY DAY!!!)

For episodes watch these:

1x03 Children of Jamestown. Face gets himself knocked out and they have to half carry him to a nearby house.

2x21 Deadly Maneuvers. He gets kidnapped and tied to a chair

3x11 The Bells of St. Marys. Some emotional background for him

3x25 Incident at Crystal Lake. gets shot in the chest and knocked backwards out a window and is forced to dive into a lake. He's wearing a bullet proof vest so much damage

4x19 Beneath the Surface

5x05 Theory of Revolution. Gets himself purposefully kidnapped where he's manhandled and punched repeatedly

5x08 Family Affair. Lots of good emotional stuff. Leads to a fight between him and Murdock.

and the best for last (literally. it's the last episode) 5x13 Without Reservations. The episode where face is shot in the gut, held hostage with Murdock and Frankie and nearly dies and is without a doubt my favorite episode.

As for fanfictions I have many lol. Check out my Faceman page on my fanfic masterlist! Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jfJ8rHwvGCzmCfwJolr925mSCjcR5TS0TDPlCnzCOEY/edit#gid=1660247148 (I suggest opening on desktop. Mobile doesn't like it cause its big)

There's like 80 fics linked on the Faceman page alone lol. If there's any trouble with the link let me know!

[yfmconfessions2]

feel free to ignore if this doesn’t count as a headcanon

Also before I start this I want to apologize if my English is bad. I am from Sweden and I had to use translate for most of this 🙏🏾

One thing about benatar that has always bothered me is his voice. When he speaks his voice is on the higher side & kind of nasally (sorry if that’s not the right word) but when he sings it completely different, it’s octaves deeper & has more bass. I would never think that his singing voice belonged to his speaking voice, so, I went on a mission of finding voices that match his voice better. The first voice that came to me was Paul rein, a Swedish singer who was popular in the 80s here.

(Shameless plug but I highly recommend the songs ‘show me tonight’, ‘love is on the line’ and ‘stop give it up’ they are in English!)

Then I consulted my mother who is a vocal coach. I played her an audio clip of benatar speaking and one of him singing and asked if realistically the voices were compatible. She said no it’s be rare that a speaking voice like that would sound like that when singing and that with the way his voice sounds when he speaks he would sound more like George Michael when he sings (she said specifically in the song “everything she wants”)

Of course there are octave singers who can change the way they sound when they sing and benatar could very well be one of those but this was just a little analysis/ headcanon (?) on benatar and how he would sound realistically. I like studying him.

HONESTLY I LIKE HOW ITS SO DIFFERENT LIKE I THINK ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A COMICAL ELEMENT LIKE

"oh haha a squeaky little british voic- HOLY GODDAMN😍😍"

okay so, I loved watching movies with my dad growing up and he’d always pick ones that were really special to him and he’d tell me stories of the first time her saw some of his favorites.

He showed me the original top gun 1986 when I was like 11 or so and I loved it because of that classic blockbuster movie feeling. Plus I just LOVE the 80’s and I adored the aesthetic.

When Too Gun maverick came out I was obviously a lot older like 18 or so. This was just under a year back. I was really in it get that action movie feeling again. And I fell in love with this movie. It kept me in my toes, I loved every character, I felt emotions bro…. And ofc when I saw Jake I was like 😳😍 so….😂😂😂 TBH when I saw the trailer I was so down for Phoenix.

I got into fanfic writing back in 2019 when I was super into DC and I couldn’t find many good fluff fics because I was a baby. So I really said “fine I’ll do it myself” as per the Thanos meme😁 I fell off it literally months after I started this blog and I felt so bad but I didn’t get back into it until now when the TGM fandom sunk its teeth into me and I was like “hmm why not give it one more shot?” and then YOU GUYS WERE SO SWEET AND FUN AND INTERACTIVE WITH MY BLOG AND SO I STAYED. 💕💕💕💕💕

Thanks for the ask lovely 💛💛

Oh, I'm thankful every day that this series exists! It's everything you said! And as a fan of Anna Torv, I identify a lot with taking the path that no one else has taken, or in this case, wanting to be independent and making decisions that the world is not yet ready to accept! I think The Newsreader team still doesn't understand this gold series, nor does it seem that the ABC

Things ahead of time are always more quiet first.

But for me Helen Norville will be a major milestone, in us, and in the way we approach an performance female characters! She is still not understood because society still does not understand women like her.😔

The Newsreader is timeless, even though it is set in the 80s, because it is the voice and the stories that we still need to process in a Patriarchy world!

Especially this one! If a man is feminine... Dale represents that stereotype. He is loved and idolized. If he shows more masculine traits, he is also not reprimanded. But where does Helen fit in? She is criticized when she tries to be one of them, in the series (eyes of some viewers). But when she tries to be more what others want like more woman ?Is there respect? No! And dont work either because they used and manipulated her and in that she feeling betrayed. Digs herself into a hole of hedonism and use them too and stops being herself! People reprimand her for wanting affection and being caring and dependent!But is because she don't have a true person who can trust and be vulnerable and her past was so bad that she don't want men too (only Dale) 🥲

Then Dale doesn't know Who I am ?

But Helen anxiety and depression behavior is because she knows who she is!

Others do not accept who she is!

And she lives in this indecision of using men to get what she wants or suffering abuse/gaslight in silence or shouting to the world who she is! And that is unique, I have never seen a character like that! And thoughs any human being with with so much recurring indecision around of course would become volatile!😭

Of course, after this, as Anna Torv already pointed out and Sam focused on the last interview you must think... But well, if Dale loves Helen despite everything. Why don't we do the same??😍

I love talking about Helen because not everyone are readdy to talk about the har part if be a women in 80s or now...and think her as fragile and just wants to be accepted for who she is without having to pretend or be used by others! And as woman who has gone through many Helen's phases.

We really need to talk about Helen's and Norville's and even Kaasics.

They exist its society prefer to say that they are volatile, unlike rude unloveble and crazy to US is to forgotten powerful woman and be ashamed to tell the truth Society not change at all !

My final opinion We love more ,We idolized,praised like 80s about Dale's Lindsay's Tim's Charlie's Gerry's. Because we are learned to love more them and not supporting woman that can be better than them. 😊 Not all as you can see here, you are being supported and loved ...but well, we are the extraordinary exception lovely nerd's to the society rule. 😉

Helen Norville truly is the female character of all time.

She’s strong, but not in a way a caricature “strong female character” is strong (being physically powerful, aggressive, capable of violence, etc). She’s not just a male character but sexy.

She’s thoughtful, sure in her convictions, decicated to helping the vulnerable, empathetic. She has a strong sense of justice. She’s loving. She protects people she loves. She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to take it. She keeps standing up for herself and others even though she’s constantly being met with people putting her down in the worst ways. She has an open mind despite all the culture around her telling her not to. She endured many years of abuse and persevered. She’s extremely competent and knows it. She’s unapologetic. And she has amazing hair.

She’s also extremely vulnerable, easily swayed by personal attacks, unstable, prone to sinking to lows, gets overwhelmed by her emotions and is generally a bit of a mess. She flees when she’s scared. She’s deeply insecure when it comes to close relationships. She is affected by serious mental health issues. She has trauma and shame around it.

She’s Dale’s superior. She’s his mentor. She’s older than him. She doesn’t want marriage or children. What a beautiful “fuck you” to rigid patriarchal gender roles.

If this doesn’t read “complex female character who has real depth and isn’t made for male gaze but is fully human and her own person” idk what does. Thank you for reading my essay

Another tag that has vanished as it was so long ago:

13 shows to get to know me

Thanks again @mathgirl24 for the original tag 😁

1. Strictly Come Dancing

I love dancing and have done dance classes of various sorts my entire life, so I love this show. Totally would go on this if I were ever famous 😂

2. Doctor Who

I was born shortly before an ep aired and swear I heard that music drift down the corridor and into my soul 😁 started actually watching when I was 4 and I've never really stopped loving the show.

3. Dark

A recent addition to shows I love and adore. Watched this earlier this year and totally fell in love with it and its complex time-travel plot ❤️

4. Timeless

Another time-travel show, lots of history and amazing costumes, an awesome ship I love so much and one of the best characters ever, Garcia Flynn 🥰

5. Battlestar Galactica (2004)

Watched the original as a child in the 80s and enjoyed that, but the remake is on another level. Hands down one of the best shows ever made 🤩

6. Community

Comedy, geekiest and neurodiversity all mixed up into a wonderful package. I only wish Greendale were real so I could study there! 😂

7. Farscape

Totally bonkers sci-fi and another of the best ships on TV. Utterly wonderful 😍

8. Knightmare

Geeky CGI adventures with bits of dnd, mediaeval lore and myth and legend mixed in. I only wish I and a team of my friends had got to be on this!

9. Ulysses 31

A wonderful French/Japanese animated sci-fi show which is probably the main reason for my love of Greek mythology 😁

10. Mysterious Cities of Gold

Another French/Japanese animation from the 80s but set in 16th century South America (with frequent sci-fi twists). Definitely responsible for my interest in Inca/Aztec/Maya/Olmec history.

11. Prisoner: Cell Block H / Wentworth

I love a drama set in a women's prison, so the original and remake Australian shows are both fab in different ways.

12. The Haunting of Hill House

I don't scare easily, so always appreciate a film or show that can achieve that. This show was utterly terrifying! It also managed to be heart-wrenchingly sad and beautiful at the same time ❤️

13. The Last Kingdom / Vikings

This may be cheating, as they are not the same show, production company or remakes/sequels, but they are both same era and have a similar feel. Another vote for historical dramas from me, plus swords and paganism and attractive Danes - can't go wrong 😁

Tagging everyone to do the same and tell us about 13 shows to get to know you 🥰

[enfys-squees]

A thread of tweets from Enfys Book (AKA Lucky Annie) (@enfysbook) on Twitter, from 20 December 2020. [Note that I disabled my account in December 2022, so this tweet thread is no longer accessible on Twitter.] Text follows. You can watch the movie free on YouTube here (under its alternate title, “Beyond Tomorrow”).

I had some unexpected downtime yesterday, so I watched “Happiest Season.” When I finished the movie, I was in the mood for another chill holiday movie, and looked through Amazon Prime’s offerings. I found one called “Beyond Christmas” from 1940, and it’s totally bananas.

The first 30 min of “Beyond Christmas” (which has an 80-minute runtime) are basically “old rich white guys being nice to poor people, just for funsies,” and honestly, I’m here for it. But then it gets weird. Let’s break this movie down. It is a RIDE.

The movie opens with street scenes of Christmas and gently falling snow in New York. We are then brought to a nice living room, where two older businessmen are dictating Very Businessy Things to their secretaries.

A third older businessman enters, arms full of gifts. He basically tells everyone they need to stop working, because it’s Christmas Eve. Secretaries are given gifts, and they go home. Businessmen start getting ready for a Fancy Meal with two expected Fancy Guests.

But oh - Fancy Guests cancel, last-minute. And here these men are, on Christmas Eve, in their own home, in tuxedos (yes, really), with nobody but their deposed-Russian-countess maid (yes, really) and butler (who fled Russia with her) to keep them company. WHAT DO

I’m going to pause the plot description for just a moment to describe these dudes. We have Optimist Guy, Pessimist Guy, and Moderate Guy. That’s basically all you need to know about them, except they are all older, unmarried men and are BUST BUDS and love each other very much.

Optimist Guy gets an idea. Why don’t they take the extra wallets they had intended as client gifts, put $10 in each of them, as well as a business card, and fling them into the street below? Any honest person who attempts to return a wallet would then be invited to Fancy Dinner.

Other Business Bros agree. They make a bet on whether anyone will turn up.

Dinner is at 7. Clock strikes 7, nobody has turned up, and it appears Optimist has lost the bet.

But then - the doorbell rings! It’s a shabby man from Texas, returning a wallet. He has holes in his shoes.

Soon after, a pretty young woman turns up with a second wallet.

Both are invited to dinner. The whole household has a marvelous time. Texas sings a song & woman is 😍.

When the party ends, Business Bros slyly give Texas a nice overcoat, because he didn’t have one. 

Then we get a montage showing the next few weeks - this newly-formed polycule of 3 Business Bros, Texas, and Pretty Young Woman are inseparable. They go to parties & bowling.

Then Business Bros get called to a Business Trip. They need to fly somewhere to do a thing. Deposed Countess Maid begs them to take the train, because planes are scary. They laugh at her.

While Business Bros are gone, Texas and Pretty go for a walk and get engaged. They rush to Business Bros’ house to share the news, in hopes they’ve returned.

They haven’t returned. They’re dead. And now they’re ghosts, haunting the house.

Countess invites the young couple to live in the house, and the ghosts nudge her to find an envelope of bonds left for the couple’s wedding. Business Bros knew what was up.

Journalists take an interest in Business Bros’ death and want to keep writing about it, even when there isn’t much else to say. They learn about the couples’ little inheritance and decide to write about it, for reasons. Which leads to the couple being invited onto the radio.

Pretty is excited for Texas to go on the radio, because he’s such a good singer and this could be his big break. I guess it’s normal to get interviewed about a death and then be invited to sing? Did New York really lack content to fill airtime back then? Who knows.

At the radio station, Texas meets Famous Singer Lady, who is excited to hear him sing.

Texas sings, blows it out of the park. Famous Singer Lady invites him to be part of her Famous Singer Lady Tour. His big break!

Cut to Business Bro Ghosts. Optimist Ghost is Jazzed AF for Texas and wants him to chase his dreams.

Pessimist Ghost says becoming a singer will lead Texas to a life of depravity.

Pessimist Ghost says this, then immediately gets sucked into Hell.

Yes, really.

Other two Ghost Bros: “WELP.”

Sure enough, though, Pessimist was right. Texas gets caught up in The Life and immediately begins neglecting his wife Pretty and flirting with Famous Singer Lady.

Pretty is sad. Optimist tells her to fight for Texas. She goes over to the house and they have an awkward conversation that’s basically Texas saying, “Uh, being a famous singer is, like, A Lot, so maybe I’ll just call you when the tour is over?” And she’s like, “K, bye” & leaves.

Optimist tells Texas to chase after her, and he almost does, but then the phone rings and it’s Famous Singer Lady saying she’ll pick him up in 20 minutes for their vacation together in the country.

Ghost Bros (minus one) are upset, but then the sky opens up and a young man in military uniform comes down from Heaven to get his dad, Moderate Ghost. We didn’t know Moderate had a kid. He’s never been mentioned. But here he is. Moderate asks son what heaven is like.

Ghost Army Boy says “what do you want heaven to be like?” And Moderate gets all misty-eyed and says he wants it to be like the barracks, minus the front. He was happy in the war, surrounded by “ready young men.” !!!

Cool, so it shall be. Moderate goes to Gay Heaven. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎

Optimist Ghost is alone, but he’s determined to do...something...to protect Texas from committing infidelity. He rides along in the car going to the country, petulantly knocking Famous Singer’s hood off her head.

They get to the country resort, they’re having dinner, and they get called up on-stage to perform a song because they are famous. As they stand up, both Texas and Famous are shot by Famous’ ex-husband, who had secretly followed them there.

Oh shoot, I forgot something. Right before the dinner scene, Optimist is outside the resort and God calls him to heaven. He says no, he has to stay and help Texas.

God says “you only get asked once, if you don’t come now, you wander the earth as a ghost forever, and also your mom really misses you.”

Optimist says no, he has to stay. God’s all, “K, fuck you, walk the Earth as a shattered soul” and the gates to heaven close.

OK, restaurant scene happens. Texas and Famous are shot, cut to hospital. Surgery is happening. Optimist is pacing the waiting room. Pretty is sobbing in Countess’ arms.

Ghost of Texas walks out of surgery and runs into Optimist. “What up, friend”

Texas sees Pretty and is full of regret. He asks where Famous is. Optimist says, “Gone. She didn’t have a soul to begin with.” (HOLY SHIT)

Heavens open up AGAIN. God calls for Optimist. Says “your mother wouldn’t leave me alone until I gave you another chance.” (Thanks, Mom!) Optimist says he’s ready, but asks God to do him a solid and bring Texas back to life, because he’s learned his lesson. God is all “FINE.”

As Optimist starts walking into the night, Pessimist shows up! Optimist is like “wtf where did you come from” and Pessimist says he was in darkness for a long time, but thoughts of Optimist and Moderate melted his heart full of angst and brought him to the light. (!) ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎

Ghost Bros go to Gay Heaven and Texas gets another shot at life.

FIN.

Merry Christmas?

Well, today Drama is showing Howard's Way 1x04 which means vintage Anthony Head time 🥳

However, this also means I have to watch Howard's Way 😫

I vaguely remember how awful this was from its first airing, so, wish me luck!!!

(My apologies to Howards' Way fans)

OK, he is taking a LONG time to show up and I am having to put up with a LOT of crap waiting for him! 🤬

If ONE MORE person stares soulfully out to sea I will scream!!!!

Second ad break, still no sighting 😣

However, I am getting to see some WONDERFUL 80's fashions 😂 God I hated the 80's 😫 I know all you youngsters who didn't have to live through it think that all the shoulder pads and big hair are a bit of a laugh and, god forbid, maybe even desirable. But NO, I will NOT go back to those times!!!!!!! I have the scars!!!!!!

Oh and some nice sax background music 🙄

Come ON ASH I am suffering for you and you haven't even got the decency to bloody show up! 😡

Third ad break 🤨

Did IMDb lie to me?!? 🤔

Now I'm thinking he's probably a cliff hanger. Somebody will mention some terrible cad they never want to see again and in he will walk, all smirks and arrogance 😁

But if THAT'S the case, why did I put myself through an hour of this claptrap

Oooo, fancy mid 80's party AND THERE HE IS!!! Looks like he should be in Miama Vice in his oversized white jacket lmao Charming bastard! 😏

First close up and he's already looking down some girl's shirt - I can tell this boy's trouble 😂 Too smooth by half!

Oh, I just saw the Giles' side-of-the-forehead scratch. How endearing (although here I suspect it's all for show).

Ooooo, ASH looking handsome on a boat 😍

Maybe stop looking at that girl's arse though!! 😮

And that was it, can't wait for tomorrow's shenanigans 🤣

[mitamicah]

I havent said a lot because it was cold and when I got inside I was too busy enjoying myself

Imo day 2 was even better; the setlist seemed more Lively and the crowd more on which in turn made the boys give more in turn - it did have a down side however when a person had a panic attack in the crowd and a few others got dizzy for lack of water but in the end we all got out safely. (More about the whole experience of this and the first concert later.... hopefully :'D)

I signed a few post it notes as "Dojan" given I had arrived in my häärijä suit with a danish flag xD (danish hojan = Dojan).

I also was pleasantly surprised to sell a bit more keychains 👀😍

The road home however was not showing Finland/Helsinki from its best side first with a bus driver not opening the door for me and then Google maps on the next suggestion leading down a road that felt like 80% ice so I stumbled upon without gloves (lost one earlier) through sometimes a metres snow and even fell on my butt one time - 1 km of that nonesense and I am finally home ready to crash in käbed for a last time 😅😁

Sleeping in käärijä's bed made me philosophice (prob not a word xD) about inspiring others and being an inspiration for the little guy in your life which is leagues better than how I normally sleep in new places.

I was however pulled down to earrh again when I slipped out of the bed when my alarm went off 🤣
