I Can Feel It!

It was another bright morning in the tranquil village where Jeremiah and Ezekiel lived. The two old friends had planned to meet at the local café, a small, cozy place run by a cheerful couple who made the best coffee in town. The café was a favorite spot for locals to gather, share news, and debate the issues of the day. Jeremiah arrived first, as usual, and found a table by the window. He waved…

watching Have I Grown? and i’m cackling at how the set is well-lit for all the other sides, except for this dramatic mf

it’s not a dark side thing either because remus is also in regular lighting, like the rest of the sides

but i can’t also help but wonder if this is part of janus’s powersets. when he shapeshifts into patton

the lighting is normal for a second and then it goes back to being dim and ominous when he goes back to his original form. we see this happening in the other episodes too and at first i thought it was a dark sides thing but no, turns out it’s just a janus thing.

I've spent an hour investigating the height difference of podcast men and eventually scrolled to the post where they're lined up in their sleepwear (or lack of thereof)

I'll go do economics homework now

lord I am so stupid

GOD that’s hilarious I commend the dedication 🙏🙏

what’s even funnier tho, is that I have a height chart I don’t think I actually shared…. I mean it just confirms what you already know but still

Listen I've seen a shit ton of bad takes about Buck, Tommy and their relationship and usually I just roll my eyes and block the user right away but why did I just have to see on my own dash someone claiming that the bi Buck arc is ruined cuz he was just thrown with someone who HATES HIS FRIENDS??

nie huaisang may say "i don't know" all the time but the person who Really doesn't know or even want to know is lan xichen. thanks for coming to my tedtalk

I can't stop thinking about how his confession that he put his desire for Shannon above Chris's needs is so in line with his Santa convo with Buck and his post fight club convo with Bobby.

The journalists have been a problem since the screened but they’ve just gotten worse by sticking themselves into fandom discourse when they don’t need to be there at all. This is what one of them tweeted and it made me so angry:

https://x.com/kat__writes/status/1796683035514921368?s=46

https://x.com/kat__writes/status/1796683230629757217?s=46

because why are you speaking like this is an objective idea held by the whole fandom? countless fans loved the scene and loved bucktommy. If it didn’t resonate with some that doesn’t mean it’s objectively bad writing. I also cannot for the life of me understand how these scenes are being compared because in one, two of the guys are best friends not a couple and in the other, you have a canon couple and if a canon couple is talking to each other, obviously their flirting will be bold and outright and possibly sexual. The writers want us to know the couple is flirting. They don’t want us to dig deep for it in subtext. These are grown men in a relationship one of whom has been shown to very much enjoy sex and have a kinks already established. God forbid he flirt with his boyfriend and his boyfriend flirts with him beyond a little bat of the eyelashes.

yeah, that's not a journalist, that's a fan who happens to get paid to write about the show. and this is on her professional account? where she posts her actual interviews? babes no, that is literally why you have different personal and professional accounts. it doesn't need to be private/secret, but when you start putting your own biased opinions right next to what is supposed to be unbiased reporting, you lose credibility. if i can't trust you to separate your own feelings on a fucking twitter page then i can't trust you to do so in an interview.

the only people who have expressed an issue with the scene are ones who have found an issue with every aspect of tommy and bucktommy. not sorry, but i'm not listening to the opinions of people who have already decided they aren't going to like the scene before it happens, and can't even admit that.

In the dark, we're black and white, in the morning, colorblind.

I'm sorry but the idea that Oliver "We're a package deal" "Without Kaz, there's no me" "I'm always thinking 'what can I do for Kaz? How can I make him happy?'" "Only you and I could've [figured that out], that's why we're best friends" Nolastname would EVER be (seriously) homophobic to Kaz or stop being friends with him bc of his sexuality is laughable

Transcript below:

Reila: So I talked to Brielle today when I took Luca to the library.

Emely: And? Did she have some good news?

Reila, small sigh: Yes and no. She said there are a lot of loopholes in Newcrest adoption laws.

*distracted*

Emely: Oh yeah? What kind of noodles?

Reila. louder: Loopholes, not noodles. Babe are you even listening?

Emely: You have my full attention. Tell me about these loopholes. What does Brielle think?

Reila: She thinks Kiara has a good chance at getting visitation rights. But I told her no way.

Emely, soft: Would that be such a bad thing?

Reila, surprised: W-what?! You think we should let her see Luca? I thought we were on the same page about this?

Emely: Do I want her to be any part of his life? No. But she's his biological mom. The more I try to think logically, the more letting her have visitation makes sense.

*falling asleep*

Reila: Wow. Okay. So I guess I'm the irrational one now?

Emely, mumbling: You're not irrational...

Based on the preview for next week I'm happy to see the problems in this show are still being quickly resolved but like...

Why does it feel like this show is saying that it's Min's fault that Q is in danger WHEN THAT IS NOT ACTUALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING? Q is in danger because his father is a cop.

WHY IS THIS SHOW TRYING TO GASLIGHT ITS AUDIENCE?

The Judgment of Paris

Artist: Lucas Cranach the Elder (German, 1472-1553)

Date: 1528

Medium: Oil on Beech Wood

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York, United States

DESCRIPTION

Cranach became a celebrated court painter for the electors of Saxony in Wittenberg. Among the most popular mythological scenes produced by him and his workshop for his courtly patrons were those featuring Venus, in particular the Judgment of Paris. Painted about 1528, this picture depicts Paris, dressed in a contemporary suit of armor, as he deliberates over the fairest of three goddesses: Minerva, Venus, and Juno. While Mercury stands nearby holding the coveted prize—a golden apple (here transformed into a glass orb)—Cupid aims his arrow at Venus, signaling Paris’s decision in favor of the goddess of love.

Y'all do know you can't make Jason be NOT white without changing his whole character, right?

For other characters, yes, because their physical appearance are not that influential in their story, on how they are viewed by people, on their personality formation — you can have a black/asian/indigenous/arab/brown/latino/etc Nico and yes, the hate he gets will have a undertone of racism but at the same time nothing significant on his story, motivation or personality will need to change. This is also true for other characters: Clarisse risks repeating the "aggressive WoC" stereotype but the character itself doesn't change.

This isn't true for Jason, whose main character trait is how he is perceived by others and how he showcases himself to others based on that perception. (specially with how little effort Riordan put on him besides making him perfect-er Percy who's somehow also weaker and less important than him).

Let's not pretend a black, Arab, indigenous, Asian, Latin man, etc, in the USA would ever be treated with the universal reverence Jason gets from New Roma, you can't have the illusion of perfection and most of all, of invincibility they have about him when you see him suffering racism or xenophobia in the middle of a mission. In theory, nothing in his life has ever gone wrong, that's his image, destined to be king, he is supposed to have no weakness on his peers eyes.

He is not trying to prove people wrong, he is trying to prove them right; he isn't worthy despite their prejudice, on the contrary, he only tried to make himself worthy to fulfill their expectations. He can't be a woman or an immigrant or have a visible disability or any other thing that strays him from a perfect ideal by western society standards, and be that same character.
