are we going to talk about them saying that dan just wore the phiwi around all day yesterday and said he’s just bringing the whimsy everywhere like why is this making me want to cry 😭😭 (x, x)

i’m obsessed with the idea of cult leader!geto pining for a reader who just fucking hates him. i don’t know why just. maybe it’s someone from his past that he left behind when he defected, maybe they’re bitter and spiteful and all they do is hiss and bite but he’s so smitten. you can do no wrong in his eyes. he deserves the curses and anger, he knows, and he receives them with a smile and eyes full of hearts. he gets giddy when you scowl at him. he just thinks you’re love personified. he’s so gentle and patient that it’s infuriating because nothing you do or say will get him to bite back. it’s like you’re a kitten gnawing at his fist but he does nothing but coo at you even when you draw blood

just wanna say all the teams have fallen prey to cowardice and modernity because remember when car launches were an #EVENT. Like I mean an actual event, a moment!!! that people cared about, it was livestreamed and we got candid moments of drivers interacting with eachother and the media and we got a metric ton of content from the factory as the launch happened instead of snippets of interviews served as disembodied quotes. I'm not even talking that far back, just as recently as 2019/20/21

Ferrari launched their 2020 challenger in a historic theatre with an entire orchestra playing and it was so surreal and beautiful

Or when McLaren made their drivers DRIVE inside the MTC with their cars and they had video messages from Daniel's family and Landos old mentors??

That singular moment from AM in 21 with the car draped with the flag to mark the addition of a new British team > literally trumps anything from this year

What do we have now? The car is leaked 3 days before the launch, we get AI generated renders and 1 minute 27 second pre-recorded, pre-scheduled youtube video... like this is the rich people sport, do some rich people shit

[mag200]

funniest move netflix could pull is making dorian and basil brothers and still lovers tbh. like ive seen many people despairing that they're not gay for each other anymore but have we considered the possibility. that they are.

it is honestly insane to think about how much of fobs discography they were just. neglecting and ignoring for so long likely out of fear of negative reaction and rejection from their crowds. like, genuinely for a decade they only ever played the singles from each album, and then Maybe a few more off whatever album they were touring for, and nothing more. at once point they eventually introduced disloyal order, but otherwise it remained Very predictable for a DECADE. it is so blatantly obvious how afraid they were to shake things up, how careful they were being to play ones they Knew people liked to not get a negative reaction. and then by chance patrick mentioned how it would be cool to play headfirst slide again, and then they Did, and fans reacted so incredibly positively that it. it opened a whole new world of healing and song possibilities to them where they can now fully embrace their entire discography, every nook and cranny of it, without fear. since this tour started they have already played roughly half (53% so far to be exact) of their entire discog, when before on a tour they’d Maybe play a quarter of it. and that growth and healing is so beautiful and powerful to see unfold before our eyes. not to mention that it makes me so incredibly happy to see Them so happy and free after so long of holding themselves back ;__;

I LOVED To Be a Creature, and it genuinely creeped me out to see the things Edelgard and Hubert said to Byleth (though it's the same as the game, stripped out of its voice acting and background music, the dialogue is so much more horrifying). Really makes me wonder if Edelgard's love for Byleth is genuine in any way. Do you think there's any real love there or is it just obsession?

Thank you!!! I had a feeling that placing Edelgard and Hubert's words in a context that isn't meant to make them look flattering would really let their casual racism shine, and I'm glad it's seeming like that is in fact the impression people are getting lol. SO sorry for the late answer btw 😭😭😭

As for whether Edelgard's love is genuine... I got opinions lmao.

got a bit long lmao under the cut it goes

If Edelgard felt the way she does for Byleth on exclusively SS and CF, I could maybe see how this is a "genuine" love (insofar as a love steeped in "I may hate your race but you're special and Not Like The Other Ones because I think you're special to me" can, uh, ever be genuine, in any case). But because Edelgard still feels as strongly towards Byleth on AM and VW where she quite literally never talks to them directly in any meaningful way, it becomes waaaaay more like she's just weirdly obsessed with this person who saved her one singular time ever five years ago from an attack Edelgard set up. It makes the "love" way more forced and contrived and obviously trying to squeeze tears out of the player for standing up against the cute girly trying to murder them. Or, alternatively, it makes Edelgard come off as manipulative, saying that she just wanted to walk with Byleth and it makes her so sad to HAVE to fight Byleth because BYLETH wouldn't stand by HER - and she's saying this on AM/VW to a person she's talked to in conversation a cumulative, what? Hour? Two? Maybe a few days, being nice? Over the course of, being as absolutely generous as physically possible and not counting the five years Byleth was missing... two fucking years? She's shitting herself over fighting this stranger she doesn't fucking know? Yeah, sure buddy, whatever you say - you see what I mean?

And honestly even outside of those two routes, I think it's more that she sees Byleth as being hers rather than actually liking them for who they are. A body to stand next to her and tell her how right she is and comfort her - who doesn't have the background of "I was literally raised to think this is my only purpose in life" muddying the sincerity of the brown-nosing - who also happens to also act as The Perfect Fighter and The Perfect Strategist to actively help her get what she wants. That view of Byleth being a tool doesn't really go away unless they marry her, seen by how they quite literally get nothing for all they've done for Edelgard should they go unmarried to a noble (guess they just weren't meritable enough once their use to her was done).

As well as how much more Edelgard doesn't like Byleth disagreeing with her or otherwise going against her flow than pretty much anyone else in the game - you lose supports points if you don't think the Black Eagle Strike Force name she made is good, she quickly denies the notion that Byleth isn't detached from others/emotions and insists they are just like she is, she gives them the same callous and thoughtless words she was apparently given once in her life while they are in the midst of mourning their recently murdered father so that they get over it already and get back to being useful to her (directly saying she will only reach out her hand when it's time for HER to move forward, not when BYLETH heals from WATCHING THEIR DAD DIE IN THEIR FUCKING ARMS MAYBE A WEEK AGO). She never treats Byleth kindly unless they do everything she wants, which like. Isn't love???? At all????

There's just this... weirdly possessive air Edelgard has around Byleth that always threw me off, especially with how easily she admits to have been willing to kill them so far into CF and how readily she cuts ties with them the second the fighting's done (which is particular because how just how clingy she was to Byleth everywhere else - you know during all that time Byleth had a use to her). Incorporating that into being an intentional part of her character is certainly interesting, but not in a way that's flattering to the idea of Edelgard genuinely being in love with Byleth lmao.

Personally tho, even disregarding almost everything else, the simple explanation is that I don't think you can really sit there and say you love someone while openly hating part of their racial heritage. Wild thought, I know lmao

Does anyone else ever get sad about the 'Kakashi was a bad teacher!' argument because sandaime put an unwilling, unexperienced, depressed & traumatized 26 year old in charge of equally traumatized kids + sakura with zero support or training and expected that to just... be okay? Somehow?

Two of the kids were probably direct reminders of his traumas

All of the kids needed specialized care and instruction to flourish

so of course Kakashi wasn't great at it. He never got the setup to be a good teacher. Teaching is a skill that requires training and support and he never got either. He was just given three 12-year olds in a world that frequently kills 12-year olds and was told not to fuck it up

But he still managed to foster an atmosphere of trust, safety and affection, which was exactly what they needed

Which given the circumstances was probably the best anyone could do

Or is that just me?

elle and emmett from the legally blonde musical are one of those m/f couples that i think work best as a woman and a man purely because their relationship and how elle wouldn't stay at harvard for him because she has grown to want true respect & success more than a man she loves' approval/desire is like so important to the themes of the story and it's the whole point and it's part of what makes them so good. on the other hand emmett could be such a hot butch lesbian it's crazy i want to eat drywall when i think about emmett forrest but a butch lesbian BUT it simply would not improve and in fact would detract from the themes of the story. they have to be m/f
