Buck: What if Eddie makes Tommy the legal guardian of Christopher in case something happens????

Hen: Buck that’s insane. Why in the world would he do that!

Buck: Well he made me Christopher’s guardian in his will years ago.

Hen: 👀 He what now?!

Goodnight to everyone except the people who use those tiktok sounds (like the “I hate Vietnam” one) to hate on fics and other peoples headcanons

so. A year or two back I remember seeing a post talking about how mayor Oswald was based off Donald trump when he was being written and since I don’t want to rely on hearsay I looked it up and yup it’s real. Look here

I have…multiple problems with this when it comes to this source of inspiration for Oswald. I have around four or five, but the last one or two are long enough to be its own paragraph so let’s start with the first three. The first three are honestly just the first point if I’m being honest lol.

First off, Oswald is a Gay, gender non conforming man who used to be poor. All of these things make him have a different feel to him demonizing the marginalized than someone like trump, famous womanizer and said “small loan of a million dollars”, doing it. It doesn’t feel the same at all, you’re going to have to put more emphasis on the similarities between them besides that demonization and make ____ great again shit to make it land. You would need to and they just don’t ever do that in the show.

also Gotham the reason why what trump did with his generalization and demonization of minorities is bad is because people in those communities are fucking evil to their cores! That’s literally all we see of Hugo strange’s arkham experiments, so by trying to draw this connection to the demonization of them and actual minorities, you’re going to have to write them in a more complex manner, which Gotham doesn’t. Overall this writing choice of inspiration desperately needed this arc to be longer, to have Oswald’s demonization of the outcasts to have serious repercussions and consequences. But it doesn’t, it never does, the show doesn’t even bother to humanize the people they’re using as a vague allegory for what happens in real life. It’s so fucking stupid, this would need a great deal of moral ambiguity but no, the most the Arkham experiments get is at most one scene humanizing them as a whole to my memory of the show.

I’m not saying this as I wish Gotham made Oswald one to one with Donald trump, I’m not and don’t take this post as that. What I’m saying is if you want to make commentary on bigotry, you’re going to have to humanize the outsider group in question, which Gotham doesn’t do because of how much buildup that would take. Oswald doesn’t hold actual disgust for minorities when it comes to his bigotry (though he probably holds some for the poor. Don’t fucking tomato me). His brand of bigotry is more opportunistic to me, seeing the fact people are hating the out group and catering to that in order to get success.

We could’ve genuinely gotten to see a gender non conforming gay man who used to be poor use the same tactics hurled against him throughout his life against a new marginalized group and all the baggage that comes with that. But since the Gotham writers commit to nothing, they didn’t do that since it would require too much work to explore that. It just sucks, it would’ve been so cool to see something that happens in real life so often politically be in this show but it never was since the writers didn’t know how to convey that. It would’ve been fantastic and a great display on how his greed and need for praise hurts other people, but we never got to truly see that, did we?

I'm so looking forward to iroh and zuko properly talking and seeing irohs reaction to zuko being gay.

Like we all know he doesn't agree with the fire nation rn but how will he react?

Will he not support him cause sokkas a guy? Will he not support him because it's SOKKA? Will he accept him? Will he reveal he's known for years zuko was gay?

Especially with everything that happened with zhao, regarding to what jee said to bato on their date. (Which is a very understandable perspective, zuko just got out of this very sexually traumatising situation and almost immediately starts a relationship (his first relationship) with sokka, but then again it is a very unique situation)

One thing I love about some atla fics is how they portray the FNs thoughts on queerness, cause on one hand they were one of the only country's (I think) that treated men and women the same but then again it's also the fucking fire nation.

And I also think zukos whole canon arc can be very comparative to queerness,

His dads an asshole and after speaking out against him he throws him out, and zuko try's for 3 years to regain his father's love and acceptance, and then faced with the opportunity of regaining it takes it immediately regardless of who or what he may hurt (iroh, his own morals etc) but once he makes it back home realises how fucked up everything is and eventually confronts his dad and openly tells him he doesn't agree with him then runs aways.

I also wonder if iroh secretly knows jee is queer it doesn't seem that likely to me but it also is iroh so who knows.

<3

I do think Iroh’s reaction will be a big moment for not only the story but for Zuko’s character development. Right now, Zuko’s technically still a prisoner, holding himself there by assuming Iroh will not understand or judge him when in reality he’ll never know what his uncle is thinking until they TALK ABOUT IT. (Which the FN royal family is just sooo good at healthy communication I don’t understand why this is so hard for them lol?!)

I do agree that the suddenness of the relationship combined with the intensity from both zuko and Sokka is very alarming for people looking at it from the outside (I mean we all totally get it cause we were there but others are like uhhhh hmmmm ok this might be concerning) so I get them gossiping and wondering if this is truly real or what the fucks going on with those boys.

I love Zukos canon arc because there’s just so much about zukos story that can be relatable no matter who you are and I think that’s why he is a fan favorite (it doesn’t explain why we torture him the way we do but ehhhh it’s fine haha)

Hmmmmmm does iroh know Jees gay? Depends on how saucy those music nights got ;)

Wang YiBo x Harper’s Bazaar — Sept 2019

(part 1 — Tracer85 at the ZIC and 5 shots from the studio shoot)

So on the one hand, TLOU is out here smashing viewing records and gaining critical acclaim all over the place.

And on the other, future seasons are gonna be helmed by two female leads, one of whom is an unrepentant lesbian.

So at what point does the unstoppable force (HBO’s affection for its newest darling) meet the immovable object (the abject inability for any service to renew a lesbian-led show)?

sometimes dreams are insightful. like the time i had a dream where i fell asleep on the shoulder of my former best friend and realized it was because i missed hugging her.

sometimes they’re stupid though and mean absolutely nothing. like the one i just had about a weird marionette doll and her frankenstein like husband having to flee their adams family style house to some random italian countryside to escape the police while trying to figure out how to be parents to their newborn child

[akkivee]

been seeing hopes and dreams for the 3rd drb and this coming into play is mine lmao

[pitconfirm]

Okay hear me out. Checo.

Because you seem unassuming at first, then you say some insane out of pocket stuff big brain stuff (positive) that gets people thinking. And then all of a sudden you're at the club and we're like girl what when ⁉️ I do think you'd be a better gift giver than him tho lol

when I saw just the first line of this in my notifs i was soo ??? 😭😭😭 but I’ll take it…. although idk how I feel about this being my reputation 🧍‍♂️

(and yes I am an amazing gift giver 😌)

[s0ftcr33p]

what am I doing wrong? every time I think someone may like me fr and I start to trust them, they suddenly take distance with no explanation or forget about me entirely, beginning to beg for love everywhere else again…It’s like I never existed…I’m holding my arms open but you walk right past me without a word…I feel like a idiot because I don’t understand and all I want is to understand.

If you don’t communicate your perspective my mind will fill the blanks.

ONTO PAGE 6 LETS GO

[emmyrosee]

I’m gonna level with you (feel free to skip lmao-)

My pieces haven’t been doing well. Not bad, but not as well as they could’ve been doing. I think the actual quality of them has slipped, and while I try to get it back up, I think I’m going to close requests and just focus on posting what I’ve got in the drafts and inbox and seeing what happens.

I hate that I’ve let the numbers dictate how I’ve been feeling, because this whole thing is a simulation; none of what happens on here is real. I’m beyond grateful when someone takes the time to interact with, let alone read my content- please don’t get that twisted. Just while I’m trying to figure out things, what I could be doing better, times that seem convenient, etc., your patience is all I ask.

Much love, and thank you for being here 🩷

Trying to read the Quran since Ramadan but god my brain really struggles with it, like both the act of reading and trying to comprehend things it feels like having too many tabs open. Also I have absolutely wrecked my back sitting on my prayer mat and reading 😭. I need to like take notes to actually process the words but I can’t write more than a sentence without excruciating pain and spasms of my hand.
