Jake and Drew both really did care for eachother but the lack of communication ruined everything. If Jake was honest about his passion things probably would have turned out wayyy better.

Excremental Colonialism

I found the intersection of public health and colonialism in the essay “Excremental Colonialism: Public Health and the Poetics of Pollution” written by Warwick Anderson quite fascinating and accurately representative of how multifaceted colonialism is. I especially found the recurring motif powerful, that we see the American body as closed and clean, while we see the Filipino body as open and “grotesque” (640). By “we,” I mean to represent the imperial mindset of the American men who colonized the Philippines and set out to rid of waste that got in the way of the morally correct American lifestyle. However, this waste that Anderson describes as pollution was more about the colonized bodies rather than actual filth that could endanger public health. Therefore, aligning well with the step-by-step procedures of colonialism, these American colonizers sought out to turn the Filipinos into acceptable members of society according to the prototype of the Western world’s cultures and customs. Because the colonized bodies were disposable to the colonizers, if this “training” and conversion did not work, they had no use for them. The goal of public health was to benefit the colonizers, not the colonized. Another predictable aspect of colonialism has been the long history of pseudoscience and its use in racially discriminating against colonized people. As for tropical diseases in the Philippines, the Westerners victimized themselves and villainized the Filipinos, arguing that “evolution had apparently fashioned Filipinos as natural carriers of tropical pathogens” (645). This further divided the two groups, instilling fear in the public about going anywhere near Filipinos who were associated with filth, disease, and gore—the things that are also associated with open bodies. I think that Anderson puts this connection quite well: “This open body, all apertures, ‘is not separated from the world by clearly defined boundaries; it is blended with the world, with animals, with objects” (648). In everyday life, Filipinos were objectified as disregarded as human beings who required the same necessities and respect; they were also demoralized and ridiculed as being equivalent to a child who needed the white man’s moral guidance to go from savage to somewhat civilized. Additionally, Filipinos were dehumanized in laboratory and medical procedures in a more literal sense, as Western physicians used their bodies for experimentation, seeing no value in their lives. I found Anderson’s analogy very powerful: “If the anus was a synecdoche for the medicalized Filipino body, the mouth just as surely symbolized the American presence” (649). Not only did Americans view themselves as surely superior to Filipinos who were disgusting and helpless, but they also viewed themselves as ideal and “classical” forms of the human body who were educated enough to use their mouths to speak, write, etc. Physicians spoke on behalf of all bodies, describing the American body as the archetype of civilization. The power of these physicians and researchers made the laboratory the ultimate center of colonialism. Anderson even quotes James A. Le Roy who suggested that the Philippines was a laboratory itself. As Americans worked to change the country’s ways of sanitation and living, like building toilets, Filipinos were essentially “confess[ing] repeatedly their filthiness” (661). Although public health is not often discussed extensively in conversations about colonialism, I have definitely learned what an important aspect of colonialism and imperialism it is.

Stuke is cute. I liked Stacy a lot. I liked Stacy's confession scene and the way she blushes when he's mentioned or around. She purposely made the first moves and went for it instead of waiting for him to pick up on hints. I just wish she didn't kiss Luke without consent or had her whole character be used as a plot device for Lander to take off. There could've been a lot of better ways to make Lander canon without making her the bad guy. Hell, her and Luke could've been the pansexual besties of the century. Her and Zander could've been friends too. She is not a homewrecker because SHE DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE IN LOVE SHE DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSEEEEEE LEAVE MY GIRL AND STUKE SHIPPERS ALONE

People who ship Drake thinking that it’ll become canon are kinda delusional. They hate each other.

Tbh the music clubs friendship as a group feels more like out of convenience rather than actually being all friends like you CANNOT tell me Zander likes Milly, Jake, or hell even Sean very strongly (he went shopping when they were SUPPOSED to be looking for Sean's laptop he was so stressed about, like bro... there's better times)

Idk it's more realistic but sometimes it's weird to see them characterized as all being good friends cause there's definitely some strain on a lot of their 1 on 1 friendships inside the group

confession #649

[tmf-confessions]

maybe i am too deep into the atla/lok rabbithole but Milly would be a kyoshi warrior

confession #642

[tmf-confessions]

drew is not the best written tmf character. we barely know anything about his backstory, and he did not get much time as a character outside of just being a bully

there’s other characters who are written better like jake, hailey, and zander

im tired of drew glazing 😭😭

millys arc makes me mad because it feels weirdly written and fun fact: she's the only member with only one episode (excluding the spinoff)
