Queer as Folk – 2.14:The Dangers of Sex and Drugs

tbh i can't stop thinking about our election next year. it's the first one im going to be voting in and a big part of me is scared that the conservative party will win due to the fact everyone's sick of trudeau. i don't like him either. jagmeet singh is clearly the best choice for this country but voting for the ndp is essentially throwing away your vote. next october vote for trudeau. he's the lesser of the two evils. i know a lot of canadians who think that we'll be fine because we aren't in the us but pierre poliviere (along with the other 119 conservative members of parliament) is openly anti-choice. i know we have a ways to go before the election is held but please keep the tragedy that has happened in the us in the back of your mind when voting. even if it seems like the most morally correct way to go, voting third party/not voting at all is going to fuck us over in the end.

i would vote for kamala harris over justin trudeau i think

Yep, okay, it's official! I can't do Filthy Rich! Not even halfway through chapter 4 and I'm sick of the mc and I'm sick of Asston. I can't stand the mc mooning over a shitty LI, fighting another woman over said shitty LI that isn't worth fighting over. Not going to force myself to go through it!

hi! i was reading your pinned post and it made me think - what color(s) are each of the aa main characters' theme songs! :0

Synesthesia question yippee!!!!! Here are all main character themes from the games I’ve played <3 so far I’ve done AA1 through AA4 as well as both Investigations games~

Phoenix Wright (Objection! 2001): G minor—dark green

Phoenix Wright (Objection! 2002): F minor—gray-blue

Phoenix Wright (Objection! 2004): D minor—sea green

Maya Fey (Turnabout Sisters 2001/2002): A♭ major—purple (roughly the same shade as her haori <3)

Miles Edgeworth (Great Revival): F minor—gray-blue

Franziska von Karma (Great Revival): G minor—dark green (though it’s worth noting that the Great Revival themes despite being in minor use a lot of borrowed harmonies from the major mode that end up brightening the overall color a little)

Dick Gumshoe (It’s Detective Gumshoe/I can do it when it counts, pal!): C minor—sea blue

Ema Skye (Turnabout Sisters 2005): C major—yellow

Ema Skye (Scientific Detective): G major—pink

Pearl Fey (Pearly Questioning): F major—cerulean

Godot (The Fragrance of Black Coffee): D major—green

Larry Butz (When Something Smells, It’s Usually Me): G mixolydian—yellow (but some sections sound blue due to borrowed flat harmonies)

Apollo Justice (Objection! 2007): G# minor—dark magenta

Trucy Wright (Child of Magic): D major—green

Klavier Gavin (Guilty Love): E♭ major—royal blue

Kay Faraday (The Great Truth Burglar): A minor—light gray

Shi-Long Lang (Speak Up, Pup!): E minor—gold

Raymond Shields (Joking Motive): A minor—light gray (with additional analysis available here if you’re interested :3)

Justine Courtney (Goddess of Law): F minor—gray-blue

Gregory Edgeworth (A Defense Attorney’s Knowledge): C major -> C minor—yellow -> sea blue

Sebastian Debeste (First-Class Reasoning): C major -> F major -> G major—yellow -> cerulean -> pink

Sebastian Debeste (A First-Class Farewell): G minor—dark green

You'll notice that not all colors necessarily match the character's color schemes. This is because while sometimes a character design can influence my synesthetic experiences (which is a whole other conversation in and of itself), they are still primarily based on the key of the theme itself—so a character theme in C major, for example, will always sound yellow regardless of which character it's meant to represent. This is both a blessing and a curse as sometimes the synesthetic color/mood will match a character perfectly whereas other times it will be completely off the mark. But it is still a very fun thing regardless—thank you for the ask!

it might have taken four and a half seasons to hear Brian Kinney say "I love you", but boy was it worth it!

Rewatching TUA S3 and I'm obsessed with my new take that Sparrow!Ben works really well if he'd been gay

[raayllum]

So I’m watching the screeners with my daughter who points out in the opening credits to 508, that it’s Callum, not Viren, turning to stone and Aaravos picking him up. 

AE: Hmmm. We had Callum in the credits in season four, but it’s similar, basically when Aaravos and temptation and dark magic are… 

JR: Near at hand.

AE: Yeah, she’s right to connect that. 

VS: Keep an eye on the openers.

AIPT: Let’s end on slytherin steel, the spell that Callum performed once again to free his loved one. I feel it’s a major impactful moment when he dabbles in dark magic. Talk about ending the season on that note.

VS: Well, as we are currently working on season six, I can tell you that every time you do dark magic, you take one more step in a bad, bad direction. It takes a lot for you to come back.

AIPT: To that point, does that mean that there’s no saving Claudia?

VS: I’ll leave that up to everybody to make their theories. She believes in what she does is for love and for family. It’s like Miyana, who’s in love, but believes in Karim. If you have that passion, and you follow, you’ll do a lot. Season five, Claudia is under a lot of pressure, it’s not going to get any easier.

can we see justin and mo standing next to each other. what’s their height difference i’m so curious

OF COURSE YOU CAN

Mo is tiny. She's smaller than all the other soul riders and I don't think many ssoblr ocs are that small/smaller than her either (the only one I can think of rn that is smaller than her is Lucy lol)

She's 1.58m/5'2ft and Justin 1.88m/6'2ft meaning they have a height difference of 30 cm/1ft

Hey! The nominees for the 2024 Kids’ Choice Awards have arrived, and Poppy and Branch have returned since the 2021 KCA ceremony to receive awards for their third movie, Trolls Band Together! Here’s some Trolls-related votes that I just picked:

Favorite Animated Movie: Trolls Band Together

Favorite Male Voice From An Animated Movie: Justin Timberlake as Branch (Trolls Band Together)

Favorite Female Voice From An Animated Movie: Anna Kendrick as Poppy (Trolls Band Together)

Favorite Villain: Amy Schumer as Velvet (Trolls Band Together)

Favorite Music Group: *NSYNC

Favorite Male Artist: Justin Timberlake

Favorite Song: "Selfish" by Justin Timberlake

Favorite Global Music Star: Troye Sivan (Australia)

It’s been clear to find out that unlike the previous KCA ceremonies, Branch and Poppy are placed in two individual voice acting categories for this one. Luckily for this case, it allowed me to vote for both of them in order to get them to be together. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! 😍🥰💖💙 (Note to myself; I didn’t pick the wrong one…or else they won’t be together. 😂)

The reason why I picked Troye Sivan as Favorite Global Music Star is because he was the voice of Branch's beloved brother, Floyd, and I was allowed to vote for him to show how much I appreciated him. 😁

It’s great to see that everything about Trolls Band Together, Justin Timberlake, Troye Sivan and *NSYNC are added in some categories. However, the only thing that never made it there was “Better Place” by *NSYNC. It would’ve been great to include that song in Favorite Song or Favorite Viral Song, but there were zero chances of having it to be included. That song I just voted, titled "Selfish", was the best I can do because I know it was one of Justin Timberlake's most recent songs. 😔

For those who stepped into the 2024 KCA voting website, who do you vote for? For the fans of Trolls, please vote for the ones you desire the most. 😊

Here's the link to vote for the choices that involved Trolls Band Together, Justin Timberlake, Troye Sivan and *NSYNC! 😁🏆

since i'm one of those people who watched tsn in 2023 (i was 12 when tsn was broadcasted) so it gave me this weird mixed feeling whenever i read markwardo fanfic because knowing how bad these people actually are irl and not some uwu precious baby but i can't blame fanfic writers in 2010-2011 for thinking zuckerberg and saverin were cool because during that time facebook was indeed cool and the internet was younger at that time too, the fic are good i admit but sometimes i need a moment to rethink why am i reading irl capitalists fanfic, it's so hard to distinguish between tsn and irl material most of the time too and not to mention tsn was just a story written based on irl saverin pov of fb and he was also an asshole. The only fun time to enjoy tsn was probably 2010-2011 because fb was cool, the cast was close and now even the cast of this film probably don't even contact each other anymore despite being so closed in 2010, sorry for rambling i just think it's amazing that people who enjoy tsn in 2010 still post about it in 2024!

well anon. Like I said. You had to be there. Look I love context and you said you were 12 in 2010 so here is some context: yes the internet was younger and yes fb/meta had not destroyed democracy yet but I also think there was more of a sense of hope related to technology, as opposed to dread. A lot of tech and social mainstays had not happened yet, politics were drastically different, Chris Hughes (cofounder of fb & communications guy) helped Obama get elected, people didn’t think global warming was real, society was MUCH more conservative and homophobic, etc., and the internet was the place to be.

when you say the internet was younger I’m interpreting this to mean that FB had not come into its final form yet, which is true, but also it & the internet was such a radically different experience. It felt limitless. You weren’t corralled in as much. You could go anywhere, you could find anything, you could make your own websites very easily, you were not assaulted by pop ups and apps were not mainstream because Apple didn’t launch the App Store until 2008. It was so easy to learn how to code. The operating systems between Apple and Android were SO distinct. Twitter launched in 2008/2009 but wasn’t quite so relevant until idk 2014? Fandom had just migrated from LJ to Tumblr but Tumblr was also hotter with the aesthetic girlies and porn blogs. “The algorithm” didn’t run the world. Yesterday I tried to find an article by searching for it and both Google and DuckDuckGo completely disregarded my request and did not turn up anything relevant. I can assure you that would not have happened in 2011. So there was SUCH a sense of optimism because the internet felt like a social good instead of an obligation that is increasingly privatized, surveilled, constrained, and decayed.

Which is why TSN got made and why there was an interest. It was a source of profound social change. But anyway. FB/Meta has ruined lives and it and all other social media apps that elevate divisive opinions to prompt as much engagement as possible (have you heard of the awful Isabel Fall twitter scandal? I recommend this article) are awful! And yet there’s an expectation of being online because a lot of communities now organize online, a lot of services require being online, etc., fandom has become less centralized/less unified, which is its own post.

Out of curiosity, what led you to watch the film? I do find it fascinating that there’s been a resurgence of TSN fandom. If this article had not been written I would not be posting about it but there’s still a lot of fic being written and fanvids being made to Taylor Swift songs. But it’s fandom devoid of all this context. So it is very strange, because you know what FB and all these people in it will become. I think I would have the exact cognitive dissonance you described if I watched it for the first time last year and tried to read fic. It is SO deeply fictionalized, so much of it is radically untrue, but you as the reader carry the truth in your mind. Which is why I cannot and do not engage with these days. And why I hold TSN in my mind curtained off. I spoke with many ppl from the original fandom yesterday and trust me, no one wants this.

I think, realistically, whatever movie Sorkin wants to make will probably be very good. It’s probably a good story to tell & explore. But I won’t be watching it. I lived that shit
