why is Macfayden saying Darcy's iconic line about not renewing the sentiments that were so "disgusting to her" in a soft tone SET TO BACKGROUND PIANO MUSIC WHILE A PENSIVE KEIRA KNIGHTLEY IN HER PJS WON'T MEET HIS GAZE PLSSSSS

this is somewhat of a vent post & something i said i would not do again but has been plaguing me enough that i think getting it out might feel better. so. has anydoggy else been. Baffled and upset by nora sakavic’s refusal to speak on how terribly aftg has treated its characters of color? with the author of the series coming back with a new book and starting up on her online activity again, and questions of what she’d change about aftg bubbling up, it’s particularly glaring to me that we are all playing this very long game of pretend where we ignore how badly the non-white cast has been treated & her lack of thoughts on it

and i understand not wanting to bring up nicky and thea because people pick on her for it. i’m not trying to discredit nora sakavic’s terrible history of getting harrassed online by aftg fans. but i think it is very cynical, and it is very juvenile, and most of all very cruel, that she gets to ignore the very real ways the books have set up these characters to be hated. i think it’s obvious why the characters who get the most hate are the only canonical characters of color, and i think we do not get to treat this like a deliberate decision on the fandom’s part when the books have put these same characters in degrading and embarrassing and terrible positions in the first place. aftg is not a story about nice characters with clean pasts, but there is a very specific nastiness to the only characters of color being a brown man who sexually harasses and later assaults the main character, a black woman whose only scene is her lashing out at her love interest after being ignored for the first two books, and the japanese villain who gets maybe two lines of complexity before he goes back to being a terrible person. the white cast, in comparison, while not at all free from flaws, are never shown to commit mindless evil; all of their actions are ultimately justified. the book goes out of its way to give them concession after concession. we know exactly who to side with, because aftg tells us who these people are. does nicky’s assault ever get addressed in the books? does riko’s reasoning to be the way that he is ever gets more than briefly aluded to? is thea reserved even a shred of humanity or grace in her one scene?

anyway. it’s been years of talking about this and the fandom has been constantly hostile to criticism in this regard, and more recently any criticism at all, and it’s Grating to be on the other side of this discussion. it’s exhausting to know that in ten years we do not get even an acknowledgment besides the author saying she will not answer questions about nicky and thea anymore. it’s upsetting and it’s ugly and i wish no one had to talk about this again, but we do because what i thought was common sense has been washed away by a sudden influx of no-nuance adoration for the trilogy. basically i hope we all explode

Every year, I tell myself that I should really consider taking off work for Father Brown premiere day, and then it comes around and I forget to do it, and I spend all day thinking about how I would so much rather be sitting cozy under a million blankets and going back to Kembleford than being forced to do boring work things.

I cannot explain how often I think about this part of the Simon’s Quest story. Ough I wanna try to explain every tiny line of this in detail, but I can’t think of words rn aaa, so I’m gonna dump random disjointed thoughts in the tags for now.

I’m putting the links to the English translations of the first two games’ Japanese manuals because their stories are so much cooler than what the western releases got. The second I get everything I can or have thought about this guy together I’m doing in depth story and character analysis for some silly whip man NES games tho—

i graduated in 1999. i am 43 years old. but one thing i was just thinking about is how much i still hate my senior portraits. they're awful. we went to the worst photographer and i looked exhausted and washed out. the pictures just make me so sad, especially when i look at the senior photos from my friends, my brothers (who magically got to have their portraits done by an actual good photographer bc ofc they did), even my own children.

and like. why don't i just... get new portraits?

like who gives a shit if i'm in my 40s, why don't i book a session to redo my senior portraits so i can finally be happy with them after 25 fucking years? no, i won't have my cheerleading uniform. no, my old dance costumes and prom dresses won't fit. but maybe i can feel better about myself if i can have actually nice portraits for once in my fucking life.

okay controversial opinion but i actually really like love triangles...especially when they're actual balanced three-way triangles. granted my prefered stance for triangles i actually give a shit about is almost always that they end in poly (which never happens) but god i also hate them because they're fuel for so much unsolicited hate to everyone involved because of shipping wars

Okay but I’m celebrating cause FUUUUUCCCCKKK THEM like I hope their new shoe laces are short and have to spend an extra dime. I hope they lose something the moment they need it. I hope they jam their toe on a coffee table. I hope their shirt gets caught on the door knob. I hope their plushies smell like mildew and gather dust. I hope their plushie net has holes. I hope for every minor inconvenience imaginable happens to them. Because fuck them, if they have no more haters it’s cause I died. I’m their number one hater cause they fucking messed me. ITS FUCK THAT HOE TILL THE CONDOM SLIPS

hiii can i ask for the lyrics to reflections? absolutely banger song!!! i've had it on loop for every second i could since you released it

ahhhh ofc!!

reflections - apparatus (written by yours truly)

verse 1:

i revel in my contradictions

I read the room

behind closed eyes with no conviction

you're separate

you run your mouth to pass the long wait

you stay in tune

in your mind it's your way or no way

but you can't assume

prechorus:

in those lines you hid between

you always found a piece of me

you keep it clear

can you keep me under your skin?

in the truth that stayed unseen

you always caught a glimpse of me

when objects in the mirror

are so much closer than they appear

chorus:

I wanna feel what I've never felt before

(can you see through me or is it your reflection?)

and I wanna know what I never knew before

(can you see through me or is it your reflection?)

and I wanna see what I've never seen before

(can you see through me or is it your reflection?)

and I wanna live but I just don't know what for, what for

verse 2:

I drift between your fading daydreams

I stay intact

then fall apart in your pretend scenes

that you'd never need

you give your thanks you never say please (you give your thanks but you never say please)

you just react

you said you'd changed but can't stop checking

whats behind your back

(pre-chorus + chorus are the same again)

bridge: (×4)

because they can't call you paranoid

if there's something really there

you stare straight at the sun

just like the barrel of a gun

outro:

can you see through me?

or is it just your reflection

(or is it just my reflection)

can you see through me?

can you see? (repeated like a million times)

cause I wanna feel what I've never felt before

and I wanna know what I never knew before

and I wanna see what I've never seen before

and I wanna live but I just don't know what for

i’m like “i’m so alone :(” as if i didn’t have multiple friends look out for me last night and didn’t go out for food with some of them afterward and then get a ride home at 2 am. what i mean is that i don’t have some guy to flirt with all the time. which i need to get used to because obviously i have a habit of sticking with the worst men in the world just to avoid being “alone”
