Look, if you’re gonna send me hate mail, at least be creative with it.

[returntotheground]

i s2g some of y'all need to be fucking bound and gagged before interacting with niche art or indie creative endeavors

like no, your performative comments of "this is sooo weird are you insane? it is soooooo weird you must have been on drugs" is actually what is weird and frankly make you look like a child an idiot

so maybe sit back and be quiet and actually think about what you're looking at for once in your life

(edit made bc actually most children i know would absolutely jump on board of absolutely buckwild fictional premises without question. if only more adults would be willing to do the same)

Stranger Things x Breakfast Club AU (part ?)

[aster-draws]

They end up standing by a window- light hits the angles of Danny’s face, the bluish, vague refraction from the snowy city, and the warm golden lights of the party carving him out like a Leyendecker portrait.

I can finally post this!!! From chapter 8 of my DeadTired fic Better Halves (and other such falsehoods) I am actually so obsessed with this one- the chapter, the art, the way Tim describes Danny? Ugh it's just so good

I feel so bad for Angry here though, he's just left alone in the hospital waiting for them to wake up. He looks so panicked too, with the dark circles under his eyes. He's just alone with his panic and worries

Yuki and daniel unfollowing each other on insta😭😭 I actually think it’s hilarious and I understand both of them lol

Daniel never followed Yuki, it's giving

This is what it's like to be a Little Mac fan who actually remembers his age

this person has me blocked, which is something i used to genuinely lament because occasionally i'd see bits of their very thoughtful commentary floating across my dash, and i'd find myself sighing sadly over what other gems of wisdom i was missing out on by not having access to their blog. i'd even lament about it via dms to some of my pals who did still have access to this person's blog. what interesting discussions must have been happening beyond that "???" "this is no one" "uh, who??" opaque door that tumblr always presented to me whenever i clicked on this person's username? would i ever know?

a friend this morning: want to see a bad take to get mad at

me: obviously yes

anyway as it turns out, it looks like i'm missing out on exactly nothing, actually, so that's a huge relief

more seriously, recalling the insightful commentary that i have seen this person reblog in the past when it has come across my dash, i am frankly in awe of this one, because it is so profoundly disconnected from reality and how people experience stories. like i'm not even sure where to start with peeling back all of the wrongness layers at work here because i haven't taken my adhd meds yet this morning, but the primordial stupidity at this take's core (coming from someone who is clearly smart, ftr, i am targeting the stupidity of the concept, not the person) has made me genuinely angry. it's not even just about applying this framework to mdzs, though of course it is principally about that because this book DOES actually place class front and centre at multiple points in the narrative. it's the idea that we just shouldn't be having conversations about classism, or sexism, or [x]-ism, in the romance genre, because don't we realize the point is the romance, actually?? these other things clearly don't matter and aren't worth talking about??? and this mindset is so utterly foreign to me because at no point have i ever felt compelled to stop myself from thinking thoughts about a book because "oh, but this is genre fiction, i need to turn my brain off to read and enjoy this, i forgot." or "this thought is not appropriate because genre fiction, i'd better stop thinking it before i ruin the story."

like. i am deeply, deeply sorry for this person, actually, that they are not picking up on precisely what mxtx is putting down in the text, especially considering mxtx has explicitly explored themes of class in at least two of her novels (i'll get back to you on including svsss once i've read it). but also, a critique of class in the jianghu, or how mxtx has written her female characters, is entirely as valid use of fandom time and energy as writing one more definitely original and not remotely repetitive thinkpiece on the power of wangx!an's morally good love to overcome all obstacles (not saying OP wrote any of these, just that there ARE a bunch of them out there).

like. why do you want to simplify the experience of reading and thinking and talking about these books? why do you want to push for more boring analysis of stories? why are you using your platform to encourage this? i'm so mad about it actually. people listen to you, and this is what you're encouraging them to do: think less.

[pilots-and-protons]

Because I've got the brain-rot for my favorite pilot, figured I'd make a fun poll. These are just some of the episodes that I like a lot for the Tom Paris content in them, even if he's not the central focus (compared to episodes like "Threshold" or "Thirty Days").

I want to see what other Tom Paris fans out there enjoy! And no, I didn't include "Bride of Chaotica!" even though it's a fantastic ensemble episode with great Tom content, because I know it would sweep too easily.

Feel free to add in the tags/comments other Tom Paris moments you love from episodes not included here. Or tell me why you chose the episode you did. <3

okay very preliminary thoughts on mitski's new album BUT i think there's something with how "laurel hell" felt like a goodbye to the music industry (can't find the source but i remember reading that it was intended to be her last album under her contract) like i'm sorry anthony fantano but if you interpret the back half of "laurel hell" as being generic breakup songs you're missing like 80% of the context. to me TO ME it feels so clearly about her negotiating her relationship with fame, how she can't love her fans the way they love her, and how she feels like she sold her soul to her job, so the only thing to do is step away. but THEN "the land is inhospitable and so are we" was created after mitski decided to renegotiate her contract, specifically because she loved making music enough to deal with the negative aspects of the work. and then all the songs are about the ghost of love she can leave behind, despite the present pain or emptiness, and like. do you see it. do you see it.

There is something so important to me about that fact that Kenji was the first person that hugged Ben when they got reunited after the monorail incident, and Ben was the first person that reunited with and forgave Kenji after he went with his dad in s5

[vcrnons]

eris is such a good character to me I hope I never get his pov

literally how do I cope with a movie where the baseline message is that trans children are treated like monsters who will destroy society but ultimately the only person they're trying to hurt is themselves bc they lack the love, support and resources their peers get unconditionally. and that the surveillance state would kill as many civilians as it takes to eradicate trans kids to maintain the status quo by any means necessary.
