Renee/Phoebe slowburn real I am speaking it into existance
#class of 07#class of '07#renee williams#pheobe stewart#(thank you first ep for the i am __ stickers so i can get everyones surnames beside Tegan and Megan)#like they have THE convo in the first episode about how Pheobe was on the outs bc she a scholar ship kid#and renee reacts in such a way that i think she also was going to Ridge Heights at an expense to her family so didnt get to go on trips#and it tracks with her being TAFE accredited Nail Tech which is seen as a more lower middle class asperation#(not a bad thing mind but a general aussie cultural observation)#and then they become FRIENDS?!!?! THEY COVER FOR EACHOTHER??#THEY START THE REVOLT AGAINST SASKIA TOGETHER? RENEE BEING IN DANGER IS PART OF PHEOBE STOPING THE BLACK MAIL!!!#i am personally on the 'dont date your class mates from catholic school' bc i am personally biased HOWEVER i think renee/pheobe would work#anyway i think they're neat

setting aside the fact that chess is a proven terrible metaphor for a strategic person/character in the first place, i have the silliest hangups about chess master!Korn in anything because Korn’s canonically terrible at playing chess. he wins because his victims know better than to beat him, not because he’s good at it.
#there’s a possibility canon meant to make him a good chess player and just suffers from the fact that the writers don’t know chess#but honestly I doubt that#Korn is terrible at all his hobbies#and the way his mafia games reflect his chess strategies feels deliberate#he’s just so bad at these games#his strategies might make sense on a street gang level#but in the show context of ‘’high class mafia’’#they’re extremely out of place and extremely stupid#which also feels deliberate#and again plays into the ‘Korn’s bad at chess’ theme#im trying to cut myself off from a ramble about the shows choice to show a scholars mate between Kinn and Korn but like#ep5 game is such a good metaphor for Korn and Kinn’s relationship in this context too!#Kinn's only making a show of playing Korn’s game#and lets himself lose as a means of escaping his fathers direct machinations#he hasn’t yet removed himself from the situation#which is why he’s still stuck playing Korn’s games#but Kinn yields to Korn because that’s currently his best defense#not because he wants to#:(#anyways Tawan the only bitch dumber than Korn#love that for us#kinnporsche#*im aware that a certain amount of this is show writers navigating extremely stupid source material that thinks it’s clever#and the show writers made their own dumb choices for other things too#but this isn’t about that#and that explanation is boring anyways

tfw you have a genuinely intellectual question about something in a fandom but are terrified to kick the hornet's nest of asking it
#it's about steddyhands#which is very much not my thing#but lately I've started finding things about fandom interesting on a like sociological level#like I literally bought a book about it the other day#by like actual real scholars#and another by a psychologist who studies the cognitive effects of fiction#like I cannot stress enough how much this in an intellectual curiosity#and not an indictment of people's OTPs or OT3s#but there's no way I can ask it on here without fear#because it feels like mentioning a certain First Mate might get me struck by lightning#or whatever the tumblr equivalent of that is#ofmd#our flag means death#being a fandom is suffering#fandom crit#fandom is hell

no offence.......
#i dont know very much about chess it's probably obvious#i like it and think it's theoretically interesting but i don't have the attention span to stay invested#scholars mate or bust#but i do like to read trivia about it and try to solve a newspaper puzzle every now and again (very badly)#tbs

As Chess themself, I can confirm
one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this
#Chess#teenagers#high school#my corrupting power grows#every time someone plays the scholars mate I grow ever so slightly more powerful

Rules: list ten songs, then tag ten people to pass the game on to! (bonus points if it’s from a wip/character playlist!)
I'm going to go off of the Scholar's Mate playlist, because I need to kick myself into editing that book.
Hold Me Down - Halsey
Madness - Ruelle
Medicate - Gabbie Hanna
Do It For Me - Rosenfeld
my boy - Billie Eilish
Joke's On You - Charlotte Lawrence
Who Are You - Svrcina
Wicked Ones - Dorothy
Midnight Oil - Tommee Profitt and Fleurie
Can't Help Falling in Love [Dark] - Brooke and Tommee Profitt
Okay, it's nearly midnight but I want to listen to all of this and edit now.
Not tagging anyone this time.

Doing some nostalgia rereading of the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen series and reflecting on the fact that it could never happen today.
Largely because guaranteed at least one person in their little group at that concert afterparty would have had a camera.
#even if Lola’s mum had a hardline stance about getting her teenager a mobile phone#(which I can buy)#her rich mate or her dad would have had a camera phone#or pictures would have ended up on some website somewhere#it would have been fairly easy to verify their presence is what I’m saying#(incidentally in the book the rock star doesn’t show up personally to vouch for her btw that’s just in the film)#when did I become a dyan sheldon scholar? not sure but hey#confessions of a teenage drama queen
