gonna ramble about charlie and auron because i just got out the premiere and. holy shit.
if I'm way off base on my analysis i am so sorry, im still processing, these are just my initial thoughts on stuff. and if you disagree id love to discuss it!
okay so first things first i screamed a LOT. I was so relieved when Charlie said he wasn't mad at Cas [i would've cried probably]. Auron made some truly wild comments. case in point: "I would probably slap the taste out of your mouth if it wouldn't mean getting you all hot and bothered just in time for Casper to drop me off at the office, pull into the parking garage, and fuck some goddamn sense into you." I YELLED OMFG auron. you can't just SAY shit like that. Then the Disney princess line. Charlie sounded so weak when he said "can we go back to that part about 'Casper fucking some sense into me'??" And Auron answering with "Not until I'm outside of the vehicle. You'll have to find someone else to watch." AURON. STOP PLEASE IM GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK FROM LAUGHING
alright moving on from that let's get to the serious shit. Charlie is justified to be angry about Auron interfering in his personal life; it ISN'T a healthy way to interact with people, whether you want to befriend them or not. Auron orchestrated this whole scheme because he doesn't know how to communicate his feelings, and you know what? I get it. He doesn't know what normal is, and it's not really his fault that he doesn't know. But he can at least try? Wikihow is free, brother /lh
Charlie wanted a fresh start. He wanted to disconnect from the dangerous world that Auron is a participant in, he wanted to earn his own way in the world, earn a bit of self damn respect like he deserves. Auron undermined all that, despite his good intentions. He lied, big time. And that's kinda shitty and not okay!
Was it about control? Keeping a hand on loose ends, like Charlie thinks? Auron just wanted to "protect him", right? Well, as someone who has had much of their life controlled by people who ALSO just wanted to "protect" me, that's a very weak excuse for taking away someone's agency. Now, our situations aren't exactly the same. Auron is not Charlie's parents [THANK GOD] and there actually some things Charlie isn't aware of that he needs to be protected from! But this was not the move. Like.. at all.
What's my solution? I dunno. But maybe don't force all these things to happen. Perhaps send an email rather than getting your guy to hunt down your former employee's childhood friend/crush and sneakily reunite them behind his back? Or at least try the email first, Auron. Charlie calling Auron out on playing pretend, "just writing one of your little stories"... ouch. But does he kinda deserve that? Yeah. I think so.
[Side note: Charlie talking about how if he'd sought out Cas on his own terms, it would've worked out because they fall in love every time? "Because that's where I'm supposed to be." I. fucking. fell over. I had to fucking BITE something omg. Yeah im biased in this argument sorry lol, i definitely have a favorite here]
HOWEVER: Auron admits that he was wrong! He is not an unrepentant man and he DIDN'T double down! That is a big point in his favor imo. He doesn't actually say "sorry" but he uses a lot more words to mean something... similar? I guess that's a fanfic writer's way. I get it, I also elaborate way too much. So, an actual clear cut "Charlie, I'm sorry I fucked with your life behind your back just because I wanted to be friends with you" would've been nice. But this will do for now.
Also Charlie you REALLY need to watch out for Finn that guy is a freakkkkk he will fuck you up big time. Not normal Finn. The magic one.
Okay I'm done typing whatever pops into my head with the barest pretense at organization lmao, I'll revisit this in time once my thoughts marinate a little more

Ok like. I know pearlina is more or less canon (at least one-sided marina according to that website) but even without unequivocal official confirmation its still so hilarious to me how EVERYONE is on the same page that theyre lesbians and married. Like, its just an assumption. No second guessing
I know not everyone ships, and theres been some drama in the past in certain circles on whether theyre just friends or closer, but MOST people can agree that the two of them are insanely close and love eachother very much. Seeing how when side order got announced IMMEDIATELY i see “oh thats pearl and marinas wedding, right” all over my timeline and across the entire off the hook fandom just speaks to the synergy of both this ship and the people that observe it, even passively.
What I’m saying is that Nintendo, its okay, just confirm Pearl and Marina���s romance, the closet is made of glass,,

im ngl the way some ppl on this site talk abt christianity is really baffling
#myposts#text of kin#my whole life ive been an atheist#with a strongly ex-catholic anti-theist mother and even she would disagree w some of the shit said abt christians on here#nevermind that like. im pretty sure people will just straight up lie about stuff thats a 'christian thing' or not#idk i dont actually think christianity is the bogeyman its made out to be#and i really struggle to think that im someone who at all FAIR to christians. trust me that i hate christians#its just like. comically absurd at a certain point#are you absolutely sure that its an exclusively christian thing to do squints social control? they invented and are the only ppl to do that?#youre sure? alright well if youre sure!#and im also completely sidestepping like. possible critiques to be offered to other religious structures. like even without saying#'hey its not the only bad one'. its literally gotten to a point just w christianity that some of u sound insane#honestly id love to see more. well frankly interesting discussions abt christianity happening on here#where is the investigation of christianitys role in colonialism? the discussion of the systemic violence its many forms have legitimized#it honestly seem like this site is hung up on#the role christianity plays in american politics and making that the end all be all#of both american politics and the effects christianity has had on the world--even just the political world#perhaps its naive of me to think this website would care abt anywhere other than american nevermind nonwestern contexts but. idk#it smacks to me of....ex christians particularly white ones making themselves into the only and biggest victims of it#which i would know because. again. anti-theist ex-catholic mother ive lived my whole life with.#idk how true that is. thats what it reads like to me largely#but i recognize for it to even read that way to me its getting parsed through my experience w my mom so thats a bias i know i have#all this to say. damn i hate christians but some of yall hate christians so much i think youve just started lying#and then also centering your particular experience of christians in an american WASP context#rather than discussing like any other (worse) form of harm christianity has been party to in say the global south

i know im annoying as shit at this point but i cannot stress this enough that hazel is such a good protagonist, local werid girl who has alot of niche passions, anxious and tries to HIDE those thoughts in a trapdoor to seem more positive, hates having arguments, helps her father hunt ghosts often, is (accidently) the best autistic rep ive personally seen, arguments seem to stress her out so she constantly hides in the janitors closet, became friends with freddy fazbear herself, shes the peacemaker, she almost killed herself just so that everyone could have potatoes again, she likes paperwork, she went "erm AKSHUALLY i like OATMEAL cookies not REGULAR cookies 🤓👆" to someone who would not listen to her at all, she has a punk teen design which is super well made imo, she got so emberassed over a small mistake she got stuck in a timeloop for 9 hours
also her design is so cute? like you could make the generic "lol undertale" joke but i think they did a great job, some might disagree on the pink and blue but i LOVE the fact its a hand me down and how it connects to antony again and how shes close to him, infact i rlly like how her family seem to have a close bond (they seem to eat together, for excample
she is genuially one of my fave characters, id love to see more discussion on her, i want to squish her like a stuffed toy n give her warm hugs forever n ever, if you hate her you hate me

this is a bit out of nowhere but id like to share my opinion on the dhmis pilot because i feel like there’s something important to say here.
Becky and Joe don’t want it to be found. They’ve made it clear multiple times that they HATE it and tried to scrub its existence. I need you all to understand that digging it up could not only get you in legal trouble with the company that funded it— but could also completely disrespect the boundaries of the artists! I never see anyone discussing that point and I feel it needs to be said.
Yes, it was shown at a festival ONCE! the creators consented to people watching it that ONE time. But keep in mind you were not one of those people. Does it suck to be left out of the club? sure! but the creators hate the fact that anyone saw it in the first place!
I understand there’s curiosity, and I especially understand wanting to know how it ends considering we’ve already seen some of it— but maybe there’s a reason people have to speed and edit the video until it’s unrecognizable! maybe theres a reason you have to sneak into secret discords to find recordings! maybe it’s because the creators don’t want anyone else to see it!
I love to pirate shit, I love digging up lost media, I love referencing the pilot in my art— but I feel this is disrespectful at times. If becky and joe dont give us the pilot themselves— which I’ve also wished for I can’t lie!— then I don’t believe we should look for it.
If there is a full recording, in my opinion I don’t think it’s respectful to look for it. Too many of us have ignored becky and joes boundaries on this and I feel like some of you are looking just because you can.
I need you to realize: these are real people and this is their art. If they don’t want to show it to you— it’s not owed to you!
I’m not saying this out of malice or anger, I’m saying it for everyone including myself. We get so lost in the media we love that we forget it’s made by real people who have every right to hide it from us. Becky and joe often let us get away with everything and i feel it’s our responsibility to NOT take advantage of the kindness they treat us with.
Please leave wakey wakey in the dark for now. It’s where they put it and it’s not ours to touch. There’s no point in feeling guilt or ignoring what we’ve already seen— but i disagree on finding more.

I initially wanted my take to be accompanied by a funny haha drawing, but I am too busy rn and the brainrot is too strong.
For a long time I tried to understand WHAT makes your version of Belos far scarier than he is in the show. It was so weird but it added to the angsty atmosphere perfectly, making the situation seem more hopeless.
But! Now I have a theory. (Little disclamer: I describe the reasoning through purely subjective lenses and how I came to understand the character from the original show.)
Your Belos is far scarier because he hadn't lost anything. Caleb is right there! Alive and "well". There is no buttons to push to trigger any emotional human response. Your Belos has no tragedy that would be painful enough to make him in any way irrational.
Even the grimwalkers are created with cold calculated reason in mind. They are not the irrational impulse to get his dead brother back. Philip just can't have any possible attachement to the blond boys. He doesn't see them as the extension of Caleb and therefore cant care less if they betray him or not. Pure manipulation of the tool.
Philip wasn't alone for 4 hundred years. He had the "fellow human" by his side the whole time. And that human is also the reason for the whole ordeal. So your Philip would care less about other humans, because he doesnt have this longing for the connection. Cross him? Bam! No mercy, even if you are human.
The same goes with his relation to the human realm. Your Belos wouldnt give a shit that the world has changed. Caleb is with him and that would is enough. Again, no buttons to push!
My mind is a mess, but I hope my points are understantable.
You think my boy is scarier than canon?
Tumblr media
[IMAGE ID: Belos looking smug, saying, "You flatter me..." /End ID]
Ah! Meta discussion in my inbox! I LOVE getting to see how people react to the stuff I make and why. It's half the fun, honestly :) Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.
For my own part, I would say the tragedy that makes him irrational is his prejudiced upbringing and his stubborn adherance to it no matter what. He was taught to never question or reconsider. The beliefs he absorbed are always, always right, and those who disagree are always wrong or misled or evil.
Even when it's a fellow human. Even when it's Caleb.
What compels me about writing my version of Belos is that he's a version of the character who wants to have his cake and eat it too. Caleb is alive. Caleb is "bewitched." In his beliefs, it would be kinder to kill him. To save his soul. To return him to God.
He doesn't. Perhaps he's more hopeful than he is in canon. Perhaps he's more selfish. Perhaps he just got lucky in a fight that was never intended to end in Caleb's death.
Either way, this is a version of Belos who refuses to take the quick and "merciful" way out. He wants to adhere to his beliefs and keep his brother at the same time, even when it means that Caleb must suffer.

Ishmael as having Pure O (OCD)
Inspired by a post i saw of someone saying their own experiences with OCD didn't line up with Ishmael (which i liked a lot, i always love seeing discussions on this) i wanted to give my own take based on my own experiences with OCD. Its my take Ishmael suffers from a bit of a lesser known variety, Pure Obsessional OCD. Now Pure O is a bit of a misnomer, because you DO have compulsions, they are mostly mental though, and there can be accompanying behaviors that are more outward, however it can be hard to miss, and in my experience has even made my family doubt the diagnosis at times cause its tricky. Now for Ishmael, she seemingly has no outward compulsions, but she has one thing, avoidant behaviors, like hiding away in her cabin during the first part of Canto V, which again leads to a bit of another connection, her whetting her harpoon for entirely too long, a small but noticeable behavior accompanying her avoidant behaviors. Avoidant behaviors tend to be the more outward of symptoms at times, cause mental compulsions are hard to spot. Post also mentioned that anxieties didn't seem to be that prevalent before 4.5-5 and id disagree. Dante noticed some anxious behaviors early on (They for example say she will start talking really quickly and in excess when nervous). She has always come off as always being on edge to me at least. Anxiety has always been a part of her behaviors but as we have seen shes been masking it a lot. Finally a bit more on a personal note, they mention in the post too that OCD tends to be many things, but there can be a tendency to single mindedness, you just wanna quiet down whats wrong and you need to take whatever path it is to make it stop hurting, and considering shes facing one of her biggest traumas, this being what shes been stuck on for the better part of the whole Canto makes perfect sense. Other stuff is her catastrophizing, endless ruminating on what could go wrong (she starts thinking of scenarios of what might just completely make it a disaster, what if Dante cant bring anyone back, what happens if they go overboard?) this isn't new, shes been this way since Canto II where she wants a perfect plan and is really only satiated by Effie and Saudes plan being watertight, one thing mentioned in the post is ruminating anxiety, and her behaviors not just in this chapter but in small ways before clearly give me an impression of this ruminating behavior always considering what could go wrong and wanting something rational to follow. In conclusion, her behavior before, this canto and during the Canto give me the impression she has Pure O which she has been trying her hardest to mask until she just couldn't anymore, and its now we are finally seeing some of those hints of mental compulsions turn into more outward behavior. If youd like to read a bit more on Pure OCD heres an article that while a bit general gives a good idea https://ocdla.com/obsessionalocd

Okay unpopular opinion but don't you think we are reading too much into this? Especially with regards to Nic. I mean, I've seen all the signs too but sometimes i wonder what if all this is just a very bad misunderstanding on our part?
Maybe they're just great work friends and nothing beyond that. Maybe the hand holding was just for the pose, because I've seen a lot of the other cast members holding hands with each other while clicking photos too. Maybe it's a Bridgie thing, who knows?
About the heart eyes thing, I think Nic's eyes are to blame. It's just hard not to stare into those! I've seen similar photos of her with others too. Have you seen her photos with Luke T? In every picture, he seems to be looking at her with so much love and adoration (eg: the bridgerton story pic or another one she has on her insta from the wrap party ig). I kinda ship them ngl. Sometimes i agree it went a bit overboard with LN but, yeah maybe they're just very comfortable after having filmed so many intimate scenes? Ig that kinds strips off all the boundaries.
The Brazil thing, i think A just got over insecure because who wouldn't? Millions of fans are shipping your boyfriend with someone else and your boyfriend is saying that he's single out loud. Maybe that's why he did the whole instyle and insta like thing?
I really want them to be together, wont lie (delulu). But now its starting to feel forced. And also, i don't want nic dragged into this drama. I love her so much! I don't want her to keep defending him, when he does the bare min. I wish she had some more ego. She deserves to, she's the big star.
Id really like your opinion because I think i need closure now :(
While I disagree with a lot of this I really like the recognition of just how vulnerable actors have to be with their co-stars during intimate scenes.
Yes it’s manufactured and you have an audience while filming but you are required to suspend reality and this is what trips actors up.
They have said repeatedly how they would discuss those scenes throughly and frequently. He wanted to make sure she was comfortable and taken care of. They mention often how important those scenes were for the fans so they wanted to make sure they executed them well.
Having this type of intimacy, even though it is professional, between them can change dynamics within a relationship.
I could definitely see their boundaries being different then what one would expect because of their shared experience.
Which in turn could explain a lot of their behavior.
However, L and N failing to recognize this was a great disservice to A. As it seems their behavior only ramped up as the tour progressed. Their boundaries should have been reassessed.
Great ask anon!

Hi Phoney! Love your blog, you're so knowledgable about the boys❤ Id like to ask you if you could recommend some beatles books? There are dozens (hundreds?) of them and i have no idea which ones are worth picking up and which ones are trash. Peace and love✌😎
Hiya anon! Sorry you sent this in February and im only just answering, hopefully it pops up on your dash anyway tho
So Im pretty sure Erin Torkelson Weber said theres upwards of a 1000 books written about the Beatles, which means obviously theres a lot to get through. Honestly, having read quite a few, there are none that are going to be 100% unbiased, 100% truthful and 100% satisfactory for everyone, but heres a few that I think are worthwhile:
1. A Day In The Life: the Music and Artistry of the Beatles by Mark Hertsgaard
Personally I really enjoyed this book when I read it. Its not the most insightful book about them out there, but I think its a solid starting point for anyone new to Beatles-lore, and the way he writes about the music I found to be quite endearing.
2. And In The End by Ken McNab
As someone who is especially interested in the “breakup era”, this book is pretty useful in establishing a timeline of events for 1969. It goes through the year month-by-month, and I remember there being quite a few niche pieces of information in here, that you might not find in most other beatles books.
3. The Beatles Off The Record by Keith Badman
Theres 2 of these books and id recommend getting a copy of both if you can! They’re both effectively a transcription of quotes and interviews from the band, so it isn’t really a book that you’d sit down and read. But it is useful to keep a copy on your shelf, and you can turn to virtually any page and find something interesting to discuss.
4. Beatles ‘66: The Revolutionary Year by Steve Turner
I read this book originally to answer an ask I got about 1966, but I dont think I ever actually got round to answering it in full. Either way, I did learn a lot about them during this year, and similar to McNabs book, because its centred on a specific year it does offer a few pieces of information that might get overlooked in broader biographies.
5. John Lennon: The Life by Phillip Norman
Im going a bit against the grain here, and I know a lot of people would disagree with this recommendation, but I don’t personally believe this book is as bad as a lot of other people might. Norman definitely is someone you want to read critically, but I do also think he’s had the opportunity to speak to many beatle-adjacent people, and there are things we can learn from this biography. The problem I think is that he can be quite heavily biased, and a lot of his sourcing can be questionable. But again, just read it critically to the best of your ability, cause there are imo some relevant pieces of info in here.

honestly im an aro lesbian and i tend to say (though i waver between this and going yeah everyone is - im ultimately undecided) aro heterosexual and ace heteroromantic cis people are apart of the community if they connect with that, because there is no denying that many aromantic heterosexual cishet men have never experienced an identifying queer experience that would have them connecting with other LGBT+ in any way, and many cishet aro men wont even realise they're aro in the first place because of the societal structure around sex for men (casual, flings, fwb, high body count, bachelor lifestyle, being emotionally/romantically detached from partners) all being in their favor while for aromantic straight women they're shamed for those things and are expected to settle down, love and care for their partners, be a homemaker and be a perfect wife not to sleep around as a single woman. they don't have to think about their lack of attraction to women and identify it because societally this is expected of them and gets them a pat on the back from other men u know what i mean? a man like that who is benefiting from modern patriarchal standards of what sex should be for a man and how it shouldn't be for a woman has literally nothing in common with a queer aroallo imo.
idk i know u aren't aro or ace but you often talk about men being men and misogyny + patriarchy so id love to hear your thoughts about this from that perspective even if its disagreeing with me in places because i don't think this is something people often talk about or think about when it comes to aromantic - specifically - straight cis men. asexual cishet men have a vastly differing experience because of the same structure which can cause more distress and pressure to perform. but cishet aro men can fly under the radar in their "queerness" in comparison.
it sort of reminds me (and i am also polyamorous) the idea of "polyamory being inherently queer" where-in a polyam cishet allo man has two gfs who are dating each other, has never interacted with the community aside from his bisexual gfs dating each other in his vicinity, would be considered lgbtq+ based off that statement when he quite literally could just turn around and immediately hate crime or fetishize us (which is super common with these types of guys)
i feel sometimes blanket statements being thrown like a net to cover the most ground in inclusivity can lack nuance in discussion
No but you brought up very interesting points that I hadn’t thought of. I agree with everything you said, in this case it depends on what the person feels more connected to. Not only because it’s not really my place to have an opinion about it since I’m not ace or aro, but also because of the points you brought up.
Though I see some similar things when comparing being cishet and aro or ace with polyamorous, I don’t think they’re necessarily the same (in terms of comparing) because one is about attraction while the other is a choice, you know? But I definitely get it it’s not something simple to discuss.

i do think sukuna × gojo was foreshadowed since the 'i'd win' talk with yuuji, but it was só poorly executed :/ gojo didn't even weaken him, sukuna didn't use his true forma against the strongest and is now using against kashimo ffs. its hard not to be disappointed
anon i think i am going to respectfully disagree. i don’t think foreshadowing is a very blunt and frank conversation about if gojo or sukuna would win in a fight, especially if gojo’s answer is “i’d win.” especially because following that, there’s no mention or imagery of it?
(and honestly maybe i’m misremembering! maybe there is way more parallels to gojo and sukuna than what i recall.)
i guess if gojo and sukuna were constantly seen together, likened, or beside one another. if the story followed either of their arcs/either of their arcs followed a similar path or connections could be drawn, i’d consider it more foreshadowing for sure.
(and like i said, maybe i just don’t remember! if you have other moments, id love to hear them! i haven’t read jjk’s earlier stuff in a very long time!!)
i think you can defs argue it is! i think i just personally disagree, which is a-okay!
i guess i think foreshadowing is more subtle. or not even ab subtlety always? i think it’s not usually hitting the nail on the head (i.e. talking about a fight that is likely to occur in the future anyways/a relevant topic of discussion). it’s usually foreshadowed in like…more creative ways? imagery, metaphors, historical events, etc.
i’d consider megumi and gojo’s conversation about their clans in the past foreshadowing. i’d also consider sukuna’s mysterious interest in megumi foreshadowing.
i’d consider maki and mei’s dynamic/flashback foreshadowing for how they end up.
i’d also say maki not having any cursed energy and swearing to prove the zenin’s wrong is foreshowing.
i’d consider nanami almost dying at the hands of mahito in the beginning of the series foreshadowing.
i THOUGHT nobara’s fight with mahito where we learn her technique touches the soul, would be foreshadowing for aiding yuuji with sukuna.
i also feel like i remember seeing a post about nobara’s eye being foreshadowed through imagery/the way she’s drawn/etc.
but regardless, i agree, it’s handled extremely poorly!!! it’s honestly just disrespectful atp lol. to have gojo in the prison realm for so long, bring him out, and kill him as if he hasn’t been named the strongest the entire series lol. and if that wasn’t….the whole point w his character-? it’s just silly. disappointing.

About the Mario Bros Movie (particularly the ending):
(this is all my opinion, feel free to disagree and share your own thoughts, id love to discuss them)
1. Is anyone else upset that the final battle took place in the Real World?
Like... Idk, it just reminded me of the ending of SVTFOE in the worst ways, which, if you know you know.
I guess I just overall hate the concept of merging the Real World with a fantastical world of any kind. Mostly because I can't believe that if the Real World got a hold of a Fantastic World, it would leave it be. That Fantastic World would be abused sooooo much.
I shudder just trying to imagine what sort of crap our World would do if we ever got access to the Mushroom Power-Ups.
But also because it doesn't feel necessary? There was nothing for the brothers in the Real World, the beginning of the movie was supposed to show the viewer that. So much so, that in the end, after the battle, they return to the Game World and start living in the Mushroom Kingdom.
The only thing that did tether them to the Real World was their family.
The only reason I can think of why they chose to make the climax in Brooklyn is that B plot Mario had with his father, wanting to prove to him - and by extension, everyone else that looked down on him - that he could be great and achieve something.
And I found that particular plot point sooo unoriginal and unnecessary.
(How many times will movies have to do the "I wanna prove I can be great, I wanna do my father proud!" plot shtick until they get tired??)
But yeah, in conclusion, having the climax in Brooklyn was dumb and mostly unnecessary, except for the family plot line.
Which brings me to my 2nd question:
2. Am I the only one who thinks the movie would've been better if the brothers were orphans? Or simply, by themselves?
I feel kinda mean writing this....
But like, the family is just needless???
I honestly believe being orphans could have made their characters more interesting. (this sounds so insensitive, I'm sorry....)
It would give Luigi and Mario's powerful bond a deeper connotation, for one. It would make even more sense for Mario to be so protective of Luigi and for Luigi to be so dependent on Mario if they only had each other - they are the only ones left for the other.
(Not to say that siblings that live in a big, happy family can't have powerful bonds. That's not the case. I'm just trying to argue what I think would've been more impactful from a narrative standpoint.)
Also, it would still be able to fit with Mario's wishes of being something great.
As I said before, the only reason as to why the final showdown was in the Real World was so Mario could have closure with his family and past life - so he could have that moment of greatness for everyone (especially his dad) to see.
But for me, returning to the Real World was so unsatisfying (see 1.), that the family plot line becomes useless.
I feel like I would've liked the movie a lot more if
A) the brothers didn't have more family, growing up alone together, resulting in them having kind of a tough life when the movie starts
B) Bullet Bill destroyed the pipe instead of travelling through it, severing the connection between the worlds,
C) because the pipe that lead to the Real World had been destroyed, the final showdown happened in the Mushroom Kingdom (or the nearby forest)
D) in the aftermath of the battle, the brothers would confirm that indeed the pipe wasn't working anymore, but they wouldn't be that broken up about it, because even though they did grow up there, the Real World hadn't been very kind to them in the past, and the only thing they ever needed was each other.
And then yeah, final scene with Mario and Luigi waking up and going to work in the Mushroom Kingdom
And uh, yeah... Ta-daaaaaaaa!
That's my personal take about this movie :p
Please please pleaaaaaase if you don't agree with what I've written above feel free to counter with your own thoughts, id love to discuss (as long as it's all in good fun)

Andrew Garfield is my favorite person in the world and i sent the prompt based on the bts video of tick tick boom...I have to talk about it a little more if you dont mind! In the movie she doesn't sit on his lap so i think they wers just acting goofy bts and when he had his hand on her stomach and they were laughing, it just looked like maybe, whether he meant to or not, was tickling her! He may not have been but it gives off that vibe! It made me grin like an idiot and i probably turned pink bc i have never seen him tickle someone before....He has had a couple scenes where he gets tickled in Tammy Faye and their was a movie he was in called Mainstream where Maya Hawke tickled him in a very very quick sequence that you had to put in slow motion to even see! Sorry for the long rant, i had to tell someone about it hope you liked the prompt!
You don't have to apologize Anon, this is a really precious idea ❤️ At the moment, your fic is saved but unsure of when it will be done ❤️ However, your idea was too precious not to share now ❤️ Plus, I have a theory Id love to hear your thoughts on too :)
The theory: Andrew Garfield is a Switch . . .
We have the tickle scenes with him in Tammy Faye that are absolutely adorable, plus a couple others from the movie Mainstream that you mentioned. He's very big on physical affection too (if him kissing Ryan Reynolds says anything about him). He also seems to love giving physical affection and being goofy with those he's close with, and wich could make for an argument that he could be a Lee. However, it's not just receving tickles that seems to bring him joy, but also giving them as well. We have a scene where it looked like he tickled Vanessa Hudgens and there's a blooper version of the back cracking scene from No Way Home where Andrew hugs Tobey from behind and Tobey turtles and giggles. Andrew's hands are slightly out of frame, but it I swear it genuinenely looks like he's tickling Tobey!
His moves are subtle and usually very quick. He doesn't have the same older brother tickle vibe like Oscar Isaac, but they do seem to happen quite frequently in his bts stuff. For now, this is where my idea is.
These conversations are always exciting to see and discuss Anon. If you ever want to do so again, you are more than welcome to ❤️ Does any one else have thoughts or theories they'd feel comfortable sharing too? Do you agree/disagree with the idea? Let me know please ❤️ Have a great day!

hii I just wanna say I really appreciate the post you made about some of the more problematic redacted characters I don’t think people realize how alienating it is to see people treat characters you ID with in that manner anyway I agree I hope we can stop being so divided soon and just enjoy the characters and stories for what they are <33
aw thank you! it’s very sweet of you to reach out <3 i'm so sorry that you've been feeling alienated within the fandom.
i was a little hesitant to share my opinion out of fear that others might disagree and be upset with me, but i’m glad that it resonated with some people. that makes me really happy. this fandom is so fucking lovely - it’s filled with so many kind, funny, and talented people.
rambling under the cut! sorry ^_^;;; not directed at anyone in particular, just the redacted fandom in general
it’s such a shame about the handful of people who have no idea how to discuss things respectfully and instead resort to sending anon hate and things of that nature. i think redacted is such a wonderful series and erik is such a talented writer and voice actor, and i think it’s disrespectful to him and his work to act so rudely to others within the fandom just for disagreeing with your opinion. as i’ve said before, it’s perfectly okay that everyone has their own perspective of the channel and it’s characters based on their own personal experience. it’s perfectly okay to block tags and accounts that make this fandom an unsafe space for you. however it is not okay to treat others like shit just because you have different opinions.
i personally cannot relate to any of the “problematic” characters within the fandom, but i imagine it’s extremely upsetting to see a character that you identify with being slandered and called a horrible human being. on the other hand, i can also see how it would be upsetting to see people defending a character that shares a resemblance to someone who has negatively affected you. it may feel cathartic to express your anger towards that character. if you feel either way, that is valid. but to stop these violent "fandom wars", it’s important to see where the other person is coming from. it’s important to be understanding!! and if you can’t, then just block and move on! accept that not everyone will see things the same way as you.
i know i’m not a very important figure in this community, so my voice probably wont carry very far, but i just wanted to get my thoughts on this situation off my chest. i hope that my words continue to resonate with and mean something to others <3 i love this fandom so much, i’d hate to see it fall apart.
thanks for reading :)

Hi!! It's me again, I hope you're keeping well <33. Many congrats on 600 followers!! Could I please get the option 2 for hotd? I'm a straight female and my pronouns are she/her.
I'm fairly introverted and it takes me a while to warm up to people. I love reading, my room is filled with stacks of books. I especially enjoy true crime, poetry and Russian literature!I adore adventures, witty and playful banter, pulling harmless pranks, joking around and having indepth discussions on anything and everything. I love helping out and people come to me to vent or for advice and comfort. I'd consider myself really smart and I'm very ambitious; I love being the best at everything I do. I daydream a lot and I'm a hopeless romantic! I enjoy all forms of art and storytelling, and I have quite a few creative hobbies! I'm 5'9 and I have long and curly dark brown hair and brown eyes. I dress mostly in relaxed suits, blazers and coats and I love the occasional dress or sweaters layered over a white button down!
Thank you very much!! I hope you have a lovely day ❤️
hi! thank you for participating :)
i ship you with jacaerys!
while it’s his responsibility to get good at talking to people since he’s going to be the heir, id consider him a rather introverted person. i think he struggles with making connections deeper than surface level. so when he meets you and starts getting to know you, he’d understand why you’re a little apprehensive at first and give you the time to get closer to him yourself. but he’d do his best to make you very comfortable around him too. i think he’d be really attracted to you when he first met you. you look like a person who has their shit together, and he was hoping that it would rub off on him. he’d really love getting to know you because he’d realize how ambitious and witty you are, you’d be a genuinely interesting and likeminded person to be around, someone both him and his mother would approve of. i think he’d really appreciate that you enjoy spending quality time with him, as well as letting him rant about his worries or struggles of the day. i think he feels like he needs to be strong all the time, because that it was a king does, but you’d be there to remind him that he is just a child still, and that he’s allowed to struggle.
i think he’d find comfort in joining in on your hobbies, just so he could spend time with you. i think his love language is quality time. he doesn’t care what you’re doing together, as long as you’re together. he’d sit with you while you read, or ask you to read to him. he’d listen to you rant about the book after you finished it, and argue with you over the plot points and your opinions. half the time, he wouldn’t even disagree with you, he just liked watching you get so passionate and into it. plus, he loves to debate, and he could do that with you. he knows you’d actually value what he has to say, and not dismiss it.
i think jace is also a hopeless romantic. there’s something about love, and the process of courting and falling in love, that he really enjoys and values. he’d bring you new books he thought you would enjoy (or books he knew you’d hate, just so he could listen to you rant about it.) you’d find them on your bed, knowing you’d have to thank him later for it.
he’d find you before dinner, somewhere quiet. “am i to assume you found your gift? have you already started it?”
you’d look up at him, showing him the cover. “i’ve already read this one. i left your gift in my chambers, i didn’t want to start it without thanking you first.”
“no need to thank me, love. you’ll like this one, i promise. i read it myself to make sure.”
you’d smile at his thoughtfulness, standing up and taking his arm. “shall we walk before dinner then? i haven’t seen you much today, i want to catch up.”
jace would fight a blush, keeping your arm secure next to him. he’d wonder how he got so lucky, nodding at your words.
“of course. where to?”

Honestly, I feel embarrassed being bisexual and I understand lesbians wanting to separate from us completely, build their own spaces and communities and making it lesbian ONLY
And same applies to them wanting to be les4les.
I also understand their anger to a certain extent as much as I can due to me being more privileged, obviously, but I don't know how I feel about us being seen as a monolith and being called insanely misogynistic language.
It bothers me, but I think I can survive.
But I do wish bisexuals would grow a spine, seriously, we need to stop all this appropriating and start building our own spaces(especially ones just for bisexual women) and being bi4bi, because quite frankly we have fucking nothing and it isn't cool or hip to steal homosexuals spaces, terms or history 🤣
Sorry about just dumping this rant here
Don’t apologize! Even if you said something i personally disagree with I still love creating discussions and dialogue!!
Agreed, it’s seriously time we stop mooching and build our own space. And I think the issue with bisexual stereotypes is that it really only affects bisexual women, so it’s it’s own form of misogyny. You have every right to be upset with those harmful stereotypes, but it’s also important to see them as misogyny.
Not to be rude but I feel like this is also somewhat connected to the drama going on and id also like to clarify that lesbians saying mean or misogynistic things towards bisexuals isn’t oppression. It’s mean and it sucks sure, but like, lesbians ALSO aren’t a monolith. We do need thicker skin.
