Nothing like Heartstopper S2E8 removing some of Taylor Swift's "seven" lyrics just so that the singing can specifically come back in at "Or hide in the closet" while Isaac is processing difficult emotions related to the book he's reading (i.e., Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen).

Did I mention "Or hide in the closet" hits just as the camera focus finishes shifting away from Isaac?

This is fine

#This is not fine #Warning: Long tags ahead (2 topics)#TOPIC 1:#I'm glad Isaac feels safe enough to be reading this book and processing emotions around his friends #That's the positive spin on ��he's quietly dealing with a lot while next to his friends and they're not noticing and he's not sharing" right #The contrast of this with the happy friend-bonding montage time feels purposeful and sad (esp. with lyrics about staying in the closet)#but on the bright side this is in the midst of happy friend-bonding montage time so we also see them having happy bonding times together #- showing the friendship is still strong even if right now Isaac isn't wholly known or fully fitting #Hopefully this is leading to Isaac telling his friends what he's going through in S3 and the friendships adapting to fit him better #TOPIC 2:#Also - don't think it's unintentional that where the camera focus shifts to is Nick with his arms around Charlie and then kissing his head #I think we're being purposefully distracted from Isaac with allo 'cuteness'#Because what the other characters often get swept up in - especially as they all couple up in S2 - is alloromantic/allosexual interactions #And that's frequently what the world prioritises or cares more about too #I think the show is intentionally calling everyone - from the characters to us watching them to the whole world - out #So that hopefully we (general) can all be more aware and do better #[In case you were wondering this N&C/Isaac scene is also right after we see short clips of Elle & Tao and Tara & Darcy cuddling -#which also seems very intentional: Isaac - sandwiched in between views of cuddling couples - alone in more ways than one]#CONCLUSION:#I think everything is working together to highlight the contrast between what N&C and Isaac are respectively experiencing in this moment #Did I mention this is not fine?#It is well done though #heartstopper mini moment #isaac henderson #aroace #aromantic asexual #lgbtqia+#queer #taylor swift #seven

I could kiss the doctor who started me on anxiety meds two months ago right on the mouth because *gestures broadly at everything*

(All joking aside, don't wait too long to get your meds adjusted when you see things going downhill slowly. It becomes a mantra of "it's not that bad" or "I can handle it if I try harder" for years until you really fucking absolutely cannot. And then, once your meds are fixed, you wonder how you suffered like that for so long. I speak from experience. I'm doing so much better now. I could cry from sheer relief. I hope you have the mental health support you need too).

I'm hugging all of you and thanking you for holding my hand through the rough patches.

If you want, I'm even giving you a big kiss on the mouth.

Much love,

Peb 💜 🪨

#peb rambles #peb is grateful #peb loves you #mental illness sucks but at least i'm witty #you're not alone #we're all in this together #now back to our regularly scheduled horniness #mental health #there's hope #lovely fanfic friends #lovely mutuals #mew mew the mango says hi

That post that is circulating that says that everyone and everything has a time limit was certainly something nice to wake up to! Now Brain is screaming at me that I am a failure of a human being who is wasting time and can't do something as easy as finishing a degree let alone looking for a job I'm in no way qualified for and I should die ASAP :)

#mother yesterday: look at us we're celebrating immacolata all by ourselves! we're all alone :(#me: it's okay we do well together :)#her: you should have a family by now! or at least friends your age! you keep spending time with old people!#me who has just realized that i'll probably spend my 29th birthday alone since i have no friends and no bf: thanks ma' i can count on you #vent

i saw the real ending of minecraft for the first time today and it was made significantly more poignant by having my bestfriend there reading it out to me Complete with silly Voices and commentary

#the text said 'and you are not alone'#and we both were like. WE'RE NOT!! WE'RE NOT ALONE!!#WE'RE BOTH HERE PLAYING TOGETHER!! HIIII!!!#it was fun (: we killed a dragon and i threw my fully enchanted trident into the void on accident #and now im learning how to fly an elytra!#next i think we're gonna make a 2nd base in a really pretty plain between two big mountains #and at some point we're gonna do the Wither and try some trial chambers #and try to build the warden (my best friend) a cool new house #and nametag him so he stays forever #yippeee!

am i wrong for kind of assuming that we would spent the time together beforehand when i ask my flatmate if she wants to see a movie with me and dress up for it accordingly

#because why did she invite one of her friends along and now she hangs out with her while sit alone in my room and the only thing we're #gonna do together is take the train there #where i will be third-wheeling #they also made dinner together and got food that they will share in the cinema 😭#p #sorry for the rant #i just thought it would be a fun night between friends watching a trashy movie #but now it's just me watching a trashy movie on my own while the others hang out and sit together

:( how long does it take to heal a broken heart?

#vent post #diary post #and life continues and nobody cares and i will feel better and get up on my own because who else can lift me up #everybody has their own falls we fall alone and only get together when we're back in good condition #but it's been like three weeks and what if i don't get up soon and everyone forgets about me #they say mourning should last half the time spent together and all but i want to be allowed near people right now already

something about being told im 'the leading person at this whole academy when it comes to interpretation and stage intelligence' by the husband of the woman im trying (not really. but i mean. who knows) to seduce... ok boy you got me. lets make it a polycule.

#im playing it all cool and funny now but atm i legit burst into tears lol #like he said i have a 'good voice too of course' but i know realistically that is not my strongest asset #and even if i were technically perfect. which im NOT lol. the voice itself is just nothing special. it's there ig but that's about it #but its nice to know i may not be 100% useless after all #(just 90%)#also apparently the most feared and respected professor who came to the concert said. again. that he likes me the most.#which again. crying real actual tears about this all rn this means literally the world to me this is everything i have #and i have no one to share this with because im not gonna say it to my uni friend cause i dont want her to feel like im boasting or sth #(even tho she has no such qualms herself but probably because i know how. not great. it feels when someone keeps talking about themselves #and about how great they are and how easy everything is for them. i dont wanna do it back at her.#well there's also the fact that i dont think im great and this is not fucking easy to me at all lol #but idk i think the difference between us is that she actually admitted she sees no point in singing if she cant show off (thus she hates #the duet we're singing because she sings the lower part and cant show off her high notes or coloratura.#which is like. an insane take to me. i mean it i get it. kinda. if i had a voice like hers maybe id be like that too fuck knows.#but that just feels so. idk. sad to me. so self obsessed and empty. like you dont care about the music itself? about you being a part of it?#also immediately made singing with her not fun anymore. i thought we were creating something TOGETHER. but thanks for the confirmation #that you only really care about being 'better than'. yikes.#like idk this behaviour is funny and iconic in old school opera legends like yes go bite each others dicks off.#but it hits completely different when it's your own colleague let alone your friend. like damn girl. damn)#) anyway. the husband is kinda hot too now that i think of it. i really should seduce them both.#except its realistically not possible since they've both seen me cry now (she saw it like a hundred times lol)#so ive lost the hot and mysterious card alas. no uni professors romance for me

I was watching this Chinese variety show just to see Ricky and Zhang Hao but then I saw one of the hosts was Zhang Zhenyuan and now I want to cry… 😭💔

#He... Teens In Times deserve better you know?#I keep trying to accept that this is how China is and C-Pop doesn't need to do anything that K-Pop and J-Pop do but #The more I think about it the more unfair it seems... 😢#These Chinese idols train so much and when they debut they just don't get promoted #They don't releaze anything on YT and they just go to variety shows alone and this is it?#That's unfair! This is not why they trained for!#No wonder there are so many Chinese idols in K-Pop it's like “if you want to debut you have to learn Korean and live in SK”#Which is fine if they like SK but what if they don't want to leave China/Taiwan/Hong Kong?? 😭#Guys there's Chinese idols even in J-Pop nowadays!! They really said “I'd rather debut anywhere but China”!!#Again... not saying these idols don't like Japan. Just that they CAN'T CHOOSE whether they want to debut abroad or in their own country!#Even if C-Pop tries to do a little bit like K or J-Pop (ex.: BOY STORY BOYHOOD WayV and the now dead EXO-M)#Their companies DON'T PROMOTE THEM!!! They literally don't invest any money to promote their groups!!!#I'm still not over Asia Super Young and Loong9 in case you didn't notice... 🥺#But... Yeah... I just wish Teens In Times got more rep and that I could just turn my TV on and watch them TOGETHER #And that they had MVs and on YT and etc. (Basically everything I've seen J/K-Pop idols do)#But maybe that's just the K/J-Popper in me and I have to accept that China is China and they owe us nothing #Just because we're interested in East Asian culture doesn't mean they have to all do one thing like the others just to please us!#I will still (try to) stan TNT as much as I can (and as much as they allow me since I speak no Chinese)#Specially ChengXin 🥺 my darling #not kpop or jpop

Dammit heart why are you like this ik she's like the exact damn girl you would've thought up to be as attractive and friend as humanly possible to me but you still don't have to be this whiny about it.

#yknow i was pretty settled on thinking i was aro for a few years there and um now lets just say there are questions #like idk ive been sexually attracted to close friends before and this is different #but on the other hand does it fucking matter because we're not gonna be a thing longterm #and holy shit am i having a hard time coping with that #i figure ill get over it i have before #but on the other hand idk ive been so lonely and she came back into my life and i was naïve enough to think #that we'd live together and be a thing long-term and that things were going to be okay and id found someone i could be with forever #and that meant so much to me as someone who's always feared being alone and being aro and living in such an allonormative society #as well as heteronormative and mononormative(?) and generally not cool with deviations from the nuclear family #and i thought that yknow ill still have trouble finding friends prob but ill have someone i can come home to be with at the end of the day #and then ofc reality happened #fuck man i see why allo people are so fussed about breakups now #oh yeah btw irls if you know who this is about just like idk dont tell her this i want to communicate some of this to her myself #and the other parts frankly i dont want to share because itd feel manipulative #so yeah i love her #oh and if anyone has read this far an encouraging dm is more than welcome

Transcript from worldstate:

The eldest daughter of Revka Amell's five "cursed children", Damara was sent to Ferelden's Kinloch Hold not long after her magic manifested one night at a family party. Her noble stoicism and ladylike behavior within the Circle earn her the nickname of "Mage Princess" amongst the apprentices, a name which she despises but can't seem to dispel. Despite her successful Harrowing, it's her actions in aiding her friend Jowan and his paramour Lily that lead to Damara taking the offer of Warden Commander Duncan over facing the wrath of the Circle's Knight-Commander. Damara is spurred on by a strong sense of justice and order and refuses to judge others based on status or class, barring strong condemnation towards blood mages; she leads her companions, and later the Grey Wardens as its Warden-Commander, towards an ideal of not only protecting Thedas from the Blights, but possibly beyond that.

Transcript from worldstate:

The eldest son of Leandra Amell and Malcolm Hawke; older brother to twins Bethany and Carver. Trained by his father in magic, he also learns his father's many lessons: kindness towards those who need it, patience for those asking of it, knowing when to apply direct action towards people to whom "diplomacy is lost on", and a critical eye kept on the Chantry. Despite the tragedy that follows him around, Corrin maintains a good sense of humor and a strong bond with the company he keeps. Deep down, underneath the helping hands or the warm smile, is a pained heart from years of repeated failures. Those he saves, he holds onto tightly, fearing that letting go will mean allowing them to perish as well.

#dragon age #dd.txt #dd.png #damara amell #corrin hawke #warden amell #male hawke #maaaaan. this family tree is *fucked*#the tldr of their stories is:#Damara lost her childhood when she got dragged to a Tower so she now just Acts Like An Adult because it keeps away the realization that she #was robbed of her innocence and ability to *live freely*‚ so now she just acts like a noblelady All The Time and only ever drops the act fo #like. Alistair and sometimes Anders. *sometimes.*#Corrin is horribly codependent and sensitive to loss and rejection both and tries to people-please because it hurts to see others suffer #*but also* because being left alone is one of his singular greatest fears‚ and when *his* paramour is suddenly spouting some lowkey #suicidal talk he's like “nuh uh. we're together alive or we're together dead” aaaaaand that's how he got roped into eloping with Anders #after he bombs a fucking Chantry to pieces. so uhh.#the moral of the story is that Anders knows Two Crazy Fuckers from this messed up Kirkwall family and if he meets one more batshit Amell...

I love the Case of the Two Dead Dragons ep for a lot of reasons, but the scene where they're talking to Twitchy Richie, like when they first start to mess with him is just so... perfect. Like the way Charles steps up and says "Ooh, try it, mate," his crossed arms coming down. And in the following scene when it shows just Richie & Crystal it's like "What's he going to do omg."

Except Crystal tilts her head with the stupid lighter in her face and it's Edwin that goes "Don't mind if I do." And Charles just looks so enamored and Crystal and Edwin are both so pleased with themselves.

I don't know. It's just the way they're working in tandem with each other for once. Not just with one another, but exactly in step. Crystal knew, without a word, that they'd play along. Edwin could've just let Charles do his thing, especially after what he said, after knowing they kissed (even if they broke things off right after). But it's like... Crystal is a part of their team now. He may not be super close to her yet, but they're both bitches /pos that of course this is the moment they fall in step. It's a shared trait that they were using to hurt and annoy each other, but now it's a bonding moment, a crossing of that divide between them.

So of course Charles lets them have their little moment and is so happy to do so. Whether it's queerplatonic or romantic, this is his best mate for 30 years and his new best friend. He knows they'd get along in their own way if they got through it. And here they are.

Perfect sync, not just Charles and Edwin, but Charles, Edwin, and Crystal.
