#This is probably only for a target audience of me and only me but I think I'm funny

[twopercentboy]

no, y'know what? as much as Josh's conversation with Buck in e6 was important, and he made some good points, I take strong issue with the qualifiers of "pre-Glee" and "post-Glee" world. that is the most insane thing to use as an indicator of queer acceptance, and at it's core, it's Ryan Murphy giving himself way too much credit.

and even if we look at it from outside the meta and from a character perspective, it's stupid! like, sure, I can understand that Josh was probably going for a more light hearted thing to use as an indicator, but Glee is so irrelevant in this scenario, especially when you consider that we're talking about Tommy in this specific context.

we know that right before season 1 takes place Tommy was only just starting to accept himself. we know right before season 1 he just ended his years long relationship with Abby. we also know that the seasons take place roughly at the time of premiere, so season 1 is set in 2018. that is already 3 years "post Glee"—even more if we go from initial release date—so this qualifier is already incredibly irrelevant to Tommy's story and the point Josh was trying to make. Not only that, but we know Tommy is around Abby's age! Meaning he was never part of the target audience for Glee and neither were his peers. Glee did absolutely jack shit for his journey to self or peer acceptance.

you know what is relevant to Tommy's journey? The repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Y'know what probably actually helped kick him into self acceptance? The nationwide legalization of gay marriage that happened less than 3 years before season 1.

the issue I have is we know, we know, that Tommy is around Abby's age, meaning he was born in the mid to late 70s and he grew up watching the AIDS epidemic happen. he grew up during that time in our history, when we were ostracized and dying by the hundreds. to boil down the lives and experiences of queer elders, which is what Tommy would be were he real, into "pre-Glee" and "post-Glee" is just so,,, disgusting to me. there's a dozen other notable events and indicators of our acceptance, and to choose Glee of all things is not only a slap in the face, but so fucking egotistical of Ryan Murphy.

I understand that Glee was a phenomenon and that it did help queer acceptance to a certain degree, but using it in this context, where it's so wholly irrelevant to the characters involved and feels like it was only used to stroke the ego of Ryan Murphy? I don't know! I just think they should've used something else, something more relevant, like, oh I don't know, the Obama administration legalizing gay marriage! they could've easily used "pre-obama" and "post-obama" and it would've suited the situation better, and actually been relevant to all characters involved!

I just really have a bone to pick with so many things in that episode in regards to 911's queer characters, but I think this is the one that really pisses me off.

my fave thing about the wad polaroids tumblr account is the way so many of the twitter people have kpop-related usernames... when im on twt and see a new pola i don't register whether the op is a kpop stan too bc my tl is full of it (and dnp) regardless but on tumblr the username is the first thing i notice

being a kpoppie really convinced us to not even blink before buying a merch item just because it comes with a silly little photocard 💀

Show us a bit of a WIP!

alr heres an unedited excerpt from the prologue/first chapter of my ness the waiter x lore crackfic. dont question whats happening here itll all make sense eventually (maybe)

Ness didn’t usually pay all that much attention on his commute home. Perhaps if he had, none of it would’ve happened.

As he flicked on his turn indicator and cruised down main, his mind was more on vague thoughts of what he was going to eat when he got home. He’d driven the route so many times it felt like second nature. It was easier than feeling his way around his room in the dark (something he did every morning, because he despised the colour of the lights in his small apartment).

The windows of the stores along the street were decorated with spiders and witches and pumpkins in preparation for Halloween. Ness admired them for a moment before his attention shifted. One of the bakeries, an old-style one that’d been there since before Ness was born, had a large red sign in the window reading Closing Forever Soon! Sale! in bold font. It was kind of endearing, and a little sad, in a hideous, hand-made way.

The traffic light switched from red to yellow to green a few moments before Ness reached the intersection. Ness smiled and didn’t even slow down as he rolled through. Perhaps if he’d taken the time to slow down slightly and look, he could’ve avoided the accident.

Ness saw the truck through the corner of his eye, but it didn’t really register what was happening at first. At the very last second, he snapped out of his daze and tried to swerve.

Perhaps if he hadn’t, he would’ve lived.

reading my placeholder text in my wips for when i have better words never fails to crack me up like

Okay so I was listening to the "Mike's Basement Beats" playlist--don't fucking look at me like that--and this fucking song came on.

And my old-ass-stupid-ass-nerd ass immediately went "Why does this sound like they made it with the goddamn Zelda II soundfont?"

And I'm far too fucking smug about the fact that I made Mike play Zelda II whilst hungover in From Vecna to Van Nuys.

Somehow, this makes me feel like I've got this boy pegged. This pigeonhole is absolutely stuffed full of pigeon. No one can tell me otherwise.

I feel like barf and I spent a bunch of time stress studying for a bunch of exams that are two months to a year away so I can't say that my commentary is going to be spectacular and everything that these next two chapters deserve but by god I'm going to try and that's all that I really need to do anyways

I have, against all good judgment, started playing Control. I did make it through the first challenge without dying (after I got past the first proper jump) which bodes better than expected, given my video game track record, but we'll see how it goes.

Anyway, I need to make a version of the Socrates meme but with Jesse getting hired as director immediately upon the culmination of some decades-long revenge quest.
