Good morning gay people, gay in navy blue, bites you

Well boy do I have some good news for you! My DMs, and of course asks, are open and I'm always willing to talk with new people :]

I am probably the least intimidating person irl so part of me is very glad I'm able to compensate a bit with this blog, ESPECIALLY if it's in a gay way

OUGH *gets bitten* *gets bitten* *gets bitten* *gets bit

hi hi!! this is the main blog for @itscodyelliot , i reblogged your post about finnish music about a week ago. i just wanted to update you that i've started listening to your recommendations, so far i've listened to kalevauva.fi's 2017 and 2022 albums. i think that taking forum posts is really unique and creative!! i don't know the translations of what they're saying but it sounds really good just from listening. they incorporated those online comments really well (from a non-finnish speaker's perspective). also i love their guitar, it's incredibly nostalgic for me

if you don't want me to update you as i go lmk and i'll leave you alone, but if you don't mind ima check out Käärijä next! i discovered one of my current favorite bands (Måneskin) from tumblr eurovision posts a year or two ago, so i'm curious as to if i've heard his music before and not realized it.

okay bye have a wonderful day!!

How wonderful! I'm glad you've enjoyed their music. I also think their music approach is unique, I haven't really seen the same being done on a scale of a duo making songs only from existing forum posts, before? There's always the occasional "making a song out of hate comments I've gotten!" but that's about it. And as a Finnish-speaker their lyrics come together really nicely! Often the duo will take "roles" in their songs, singing specific lyrics written by specific forum users, creating this sort of dialogue. My favourite instance is Sinappitutut ("Mustard Acquaintances"), where one person tries to defend their strange relationship classification system while "others" (the other guy) berate them.

If you're looking for translations, people in the YouTube comments of their music videos sometimes provide them, but I would actually love to translate some songs, too! And I mean that in earnest. I take great enjoyment in translating songs from Finnish to English, because I want to give people the chance to enjoy a song to its fullest potential. Heck, sometimes I just do them anyway even if they're not for anyone to read, for my favourite songs! Today while on my walk I was actually pondering lyric translations for Kalevauva.fi's song Panohanskat (err... "Fucking gloves")

Do tell what you think of Käärijä! And hit me up for lyrics :]

Felines: Something that makes you feel better after a hard day?

if the hard day is not work-related, music - i find composing to be incredibly grounding when i need to recenter.

if the hard day IS work-related - or if it's been especially difficult and i need extra support - my beloved girlfriend, my cats, chosen family & other loved ones. also good food. 💕

i spent awhile waffling on whether this belonged on here or on @sinslythingzrambles. Anyway, today in my communions class my teacher had us draw an image of how we felt to show how you can express things without words. @codsfish has infected me with @quackquackquackin creation of the Holy Shit. So i drew the creature.

my teacher asked the class to interpret what this could mean, what emotions I was feeling. They all said I was stressed, nervous, and scared out of my mind. When she asked if that was true I said the shaking was the caffeine in my system [it’s my first class of the day and I accidentally slept in late]. That wasn’t a joke but the dude nearby laughed so that’s good.

@codsfish @bulldog-butch @perditionanddiatribes

ive been asked to define The Schema.

so im watching supernatural for the first time this year, havent gotten very far so i’ll assume this only applies to what ive seen (seasons 1-5), but after about ten or so episodes i started noticing a pattern with the women in the show, specifically with how they’re positioned based on hair color. Now, according to eric kripke only 3 hair colors exist for women. Blonde, black, and dyed red. i think there is One brunette woman in the show but i dont remember her name, just that i was shocked by seeing her.

for some reason, the show insists on dividing hair colors along surprisingly hard and fast lines, every woman in the show (except one) falling along the following three archetypes:

Blonde — The Ideal Woman. Angels sent from heaven to be perfect and beautiful and take care of men. Blonde women can do no wrong and have no flaws, and should they die it is TRAGIC. How could the lord bear to take one of these perfect beautiful angels away from us,,, they deserved a long life and many children and a nice man to be fucked by and not a scrap of agency. if by some horrifying fluke of fate or temptation, one of them DOES do something wrong, feel free to fuck and/or murder them at your discretion. notable examples; mary, jo, ellen, 90% of Nice Woman Supporting Characters, etc.

Dyed Red — NO NATURAL RED HAIR EXISTS. These women are Dangerous. Maybe theyre a wildcard you can never fully trust, maybe they’ll help you, but only to their own ends, maybe you love them and they betray you. Whatever it is, no matter how cool and sexy they are, WATCH OUT. these women are CAPABLE OF HARM. but oh my gosh theyre so cool,,,, 😮‍💨 notable examples; Ana, that one policeman in the episode with the hunters what kill people, etc.

Black Hair (usually dyed) — either EVIL or DEAD. the dregs of society. Mean women. Women of no virtue. When they die itll be their own fault for sinking to sin and corruption, and yknow what maybe society is better off with these horrible EVIL temptresses dead. bottom line, these women cant be trusted for anything other than sex and betrayal and having really pretty eyes usually for some reason. notable examples; that werewolf who died after sam had sex with her, ruby 2, meg 3(?), every woman sam has had sex with post-jessica, ALMOST EVERY DEAD GIRL, ALMOST EVERY EVIL WOMAN, etc.

now i know youre asking; what about meg! what about lilith 1 and2! what about ruby 1!! they’re all blonde and evil!! but consider them for a moment—

meg 1 has dyed blonde hair, but every time she appears before she dies she has *dark black roots* that are highly visible:

this is a subtle bit of foreshadowing imo, proving she’s capable of evil AND that shes trying to scam mr padalecki. watch out!!!!

now lilith might be seen as a proper breakage from form, seeing as every time she appears she has blonde hair. but crucially, the first time she appears, when she’s possessing that little child, we’re supposed to primarily feel bad for the child, specifically when lilith leaves the childs body and the kid warns the boys. the real stick in the spokes is lilith 2, who looks like this:

personally i dont see this as a break from the schema but i think it’s up to interpretation. i think lilith 2 counts because while her death isnt tragic and she certainly doesnt possess the fine patriarchal virtues of most blond women in the show, her death IS a thing we should feel bad about, seeing as its what kicjstarts the apocalypse and frees satan. that and she’s sort of supposed to be a wolf in sheeps clothing type of deal almost like meg. she appears in a white dress, rail thin, with an almost too perfect face, primarily as a smokescreen. to futz with the characters and the viewers perceptions. again, up to you if you think shes a break, but i dont personally.

now ruby 1, lets call her laurel lance ruby, shes a fun one:

(image of both rubys because im gonna bring up ruby 2 in this too)

laurel lance ruby is of course another dyed blonde because this isnt the actress’s real hair color but thats not what im gonna bring up. ruby’s a fun case because shes not just scamming the characters, shes scamming the viewer as well. so, the crucial thing for me is how the audience is supposed to feel about her. sure shes a little sketchy, sure shes a little dangerous, maybe shes a red hair candidate, but we the audience are SUPPOSED to empathize with her, to feel her frustration when the hunters dont trust her, her annoyance when her plans go off the rails. we’re supposed to be rooting for her, and more importantly, we’re supposed to be upset when shes overtaken by lilith in the confrontation. we’re supposed to be sad when shes lost, or at least sent back to hell briefly. that to me counts as a death, and imo counts as a tragic one. now ruby 2 is more obvious, ruby in her True Form narratively speaking. shes gone full scammer mode shes mask off we’re supposed to be suspicious of her, shes no longer scamming both us AND the boys, but primarily just the boys, so we are meant to be offput by her. personally i found myself shocked when ruby, a sympathetic character, broke my schema by appearing with black hair and from my perspective making all the right calls in the war on satan, but then WHAM her scheme is revealed and the schema corrects itself when she turns out to be a betrayer AND then dies in a way where we’re supposed to cheer. i miss ruby she was a fun character :(

so all this to say, there are a number of characters that *bend* the schema. but the one that so far in my watch has broken the schema fully is LISA.

i have only seen as far as the season five finale so, no spoilers pls, but if she dies my schema will at least be corrected from Broken back to only Bent. but as it stands she shows NONE of the signs of a typical Black Haired Woman within the schema. she’s a lovable character, we’re meant to root for her, she shows little to no signs of typical Black Haired Woman traits like infidelity or other signs of major sin or corruption. there’s some light implied promiscuity, but never on screen and only many many years before the show began, by the end of season five she has done no wrong by the shows typical definition! she shows no sign of imminent betrayal, she makes no move to harm the boys, she has all the qualities of Blonde Hair within the schema, right down to being boiled down to a bioessentialist “mommy you can fuck” stereotype! she should by all rights have blonde hair!!! so at my point on the timeline i have to assume that EITHER;

1) her death is imminent. beware the doom that follows her lest ye be caught up in it. beware, dean winchester.

or 2) FROM THIS POINT FORWARD THE SCHEMA IS MEANINGLESS.

i logically should have very little issue with lisa, but hoooooo i am PEEVED that shes breaking my schema. when she appeared the first time i was SURE shed die by the end of the episode and when she didnt i was THRILLED!!!! finally a beautiful black haired woman was FREE. a win for the recovering goths everywhere. but now? with her breaking my schema at every turn???? HOO i am peeved. vexed even. hough i am peeved.

so yeah. thats the Schema from seasons one through five. forgive some of the more sexist lingo, when working within my enemy’s text i must resort to using their lexicon.

sometimes i forget just how much supernatural hates women and then i rewatch and im like oh right supernatural fucking loathes women
