the "mj's real voice was really deep, the high pitched voice was just an act for the public" thing is really tiresome. people just talk differently in different situations. i think he was self-conscious, i don't think it was some grand manipulative scheme. he grew up in the spotlight, with hundreds of thousands of people focused on his voice. he spoke like that as a very young teenager. there are private phone calls where he sounds just as gentle and high pitched as in interviews. there are live performances where he used a deeper voice to command more attention. maybe there WAS an element of manipulation - i do think he was very aware of his image and effect on people - but i don't think it was some elaborate conspiracy
#everybody irritate me#i really REALLY dislike how much people push the 'he was a master manipulator' thing#maybe i'm just naive but... we connect through art. i see sincerity in his art. i see sincerity in HIM#plus that's a very slippery slope. if you're also arguing that he was innocent of Those allegations#i feel like people overcompensate for the bizarre tabloid persona stuff. they go 'he was actually a totally normal guy irl completely unlik#how he was on camera and onstage'#ok well. no i don't think so#at that point you'd have to believe he lied about a lottttt of things. which again 1. i don't think so 2. slippery slope#idk so many examples of the 'he was actually a normal guy' sentiment are from people who met him a few times#i tend to believe eddie murphy and chris tucker more. EM said 'he's a normal guy.. i mean not NORMAL yknow hes still MICHAEL JACKSON but..'#the truth is often messier than peolle want it to be ig. that's what i think. the voice(s) was for a lot of reasons#yes he was just a human. no he was not a regular guy. no not everything he did in public was an act. yes some parts were.

OT3: casey stoner/his neuroses/the concept of valentino rossi that mostly exists in casey’s head
y'know I have this casey stoner... idk what it is. thematic mind map (literal), let's say, that I like fiddling with and adding things to when the mood hits me. and it does always strike me just how many of his struggles during his careers and issues with the sport can in some way be linked back to the valentino rivalry
casey's sense of isolation? super valentino related. casey's feelings of cultural alienation in a paddock dominated by europeans? even when it's not really related to valentino, casey is the one linking those two things together. casey's issues with other riders not being respectful enough on track? very obviously repeatedly about valentino. casey's discomfort with the performance and entertainment-related aspects of the sport? more valentino. casey feeling treated unfairly by the manufacturers, the media, the marshals, the fans.... keeps coming back to valentino. casey's mystery illness really shouldn't be as relevant to the rivalry as it is, but somehow through this combination of public discourse and whatever comparisons casey's brain is cooking up at any moment in time... there valentino is again
one of the most charming things about valentino's feuds is that in each and every single one, both participants end up being deeply weird about each other? just keep knocking off these banger quotes about the other where you read them and go. hm. what's going on there then. I don't want to make it sound like I think casey is the worst offender with this (not when marc and valentino have their whole thing going on, bidirectionally)... but I do think he's the most susceptible to conflating his valentino issues with like... everything else that was going on in his career. to the extent where his alienation with the sport as a whole, his extreme disillusionment from everything related to motogp, really cannot be meaningfully disentangled from the valentino rivalry. at times it feels like, to casey, valentino literally is the sport. and that's the thing casey dedicated his whole life to!! which means you do inevitably end up regularly going 'wow there's a lot to unpack'. add in a dash of neuroticism...
and yeah you're so right anon!! the neuroses are what end up creating the version of valentino that mostly exists in casey's head, a version that casey is just a touch obsessed with. I always think it's interesting how aware casey is that he doesn't know valentino as a person - and to the extent casey does know him, he gets on pretty well with him... but valentino the person isn't all that relevant to him. it's valentino the character who matters - and can you even really know a character? in the end, all casey can do is rely on his own understanding of that character, as imperfect as it is. and, well, in a way casey is trapped with that character forevermore. if one man comes to embody a sport to such an extent and if that sport has been your life's work, how can you not be a little bit trapped? as he tries to make his peace with the sport and his experiences within it, so too has casey settled on a narrative of valentino that helps him make sense of it all... a very specific understanding of his rival that casey has shaped in his mind and still trots out now when he sells his own version of events to the media. casey learned from valentino, casey learned to be a little more like valentino, casey learned to fight valentino with his own tools, casey tells himself a story of that fight. he still continues to do so - and in the end he will never be entirely free of valentino
#'do you ever talk to valentino' 'i don't talk to europeans' casey buddy what's going on there#'everybody's going on like he's a crippled hero' *pinches bridge of nose*#//#brr brr#batsplat responds#heretic tag#'x fell first but y fell harder' but make it about feud escalation#it is. interesting. how little the two of them engage in laguna '08 discourse for about two years and then rediscover it in mid 2010#casey's very similar to valentino in that regard in that he doesn't necessarily lash out immediately#but he remembers. and he resents. and he seethes. and then eventually lets it all out and you go 'huh'. very valentino#like it is SO important to remember that after initially losing his temper at laguna... *most* of the laguna quotes are from YEARS later#(apart from that one early 2009 interview with an italian paper where he was clearly just in a FOUL mood like it's dreadful)#I genuinely think casey's mystery illness contributed more to the change in tone of that rivalry than laguna did#laguna laid the groundwork in terms of resentment but you needed something for casey actually to be willing to go ALL in#idk in a way it's the only rivalry where valentino is the one on the receiving end of Remember That Thing You Did Thirty Years Ago#like they ARE similar!! they're ridiculously adept at holding grudges!! they relish twisting the knife!!#I think it's interesting jorge was talking about how valentino is better at him at knowing when to choose his moments to lash out#because you can say casey did the exact same thing. he'd learned to clamp down on his immediate irritable reactions#and instead get himself to a place where he could attack valentino from a position of strength#basically they're the two aliens i'd get to go on a revenge quest for me. like i think they'd be good at revenge quests#conspiracy theories and revenge quests. that's what i think they're good at

Do you ever watch s3 and s4 and realise you're not enjoying it that much
#im kinda in two minds#cause there ARE so many insane details and subtext and all that#and i love reading your guys analyses#but at the same time#actually watching through the eps in s3/4?#they're often tedious#no i dont wanna hear another monologue from the most irritating character in the universe murray bauman#why'd you introduce russians in a massive underground bunker for gods sakes#i thought this was a small intimate story about normal ppl faced with the unknown of the supernatural#not the eye of the cold war storm#any dangerous scene? literally any time they put a character in danger?#idc im not invested praying they'll make it through#cause they always always make it through#even when it seems like they literally died#and what is with the quipiness in the later season?#like all those like marvel lines and interactions and witty one liners and moments where they finish each others sentences would make me#roll my eyes in any other show that i already wasnt invested in#even byler#i love byler with all my heart and i dont doubt they're endgame#but for me even that sweet knowledge is soured by the fact it seems they're trying to cater to every demographic in their massive audience#they turned hopper in this super macho muscle gun man who appeals to people who want a tom cruise show#they're trying to keep both jancy and stancy fans satisfied simultaneously#i dont doubt byler will happen but i just think its going to be very small importance-wise screen-time wise in the midst of everything else#i've sort of had cognitive dissonance cause ive been in this space where everybody praises the shit out of it (i mean duh its a fandom)#and they point out impressive details and links and say stuff like 'the duffers had everything planned from the beginning!'#so i was refusing to acknowledge that i wasnt enjoying actually watching the show as it strayed further from what it had been in s1#sorry guys gotta agree with friendly soace ninja on this one (kinda stupid to put on tags where most ppl do genuinely love the show and pls#ignore these depressing thoughts and continue happily on with your hyperfixation if you do)#stranger things#byler

An unpopular opinion maybe, but honestly, all those CAMEOS and I couldn't care less. Like, I watch a tv show about the damn X-MEN, about mutants, I'm interested in those characters and teams, not others. I need no Captain America (okay, the episode where Rogue kicks his ass was cool, I have to admit), no Iron Man, no Dr Strange or whatnot. If I feel the urge to watch something about Avengers no I open the motion media about them. I understand, of course, that they all exist in one universe, but if you erase them from the X-men plot nothing will change.
#i know i'm in the minority#because everybody in the tag seems to be excited#and that's fine#but i just feel tired of it#probably i'm just generally tired of marvel's bullshit already#and x-men is the only thing that keeps me interested yet#after so many years#that's why I'm more irritated by those cameos than interested in them#x-men#x men 97#x men the animated series#i don't know how to tag lol

AND NOW, A TANGENT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT ANNOYS ME MORE THAN I WANT TO ADMIT.
In Wambus and Triffany’s hut, on the rack next to their bed there’s a belt. If I had to guess, it presumably belongs to Wambus.
But for what reason? The Grumpuses usually go about their daily lives 75% in their birthday suits, so the belt implies that wearing pants IS an option for Grumpuses, but that they apparently just prefer not to.

so funny to me when men complain that they’re also victims of the patriarchy because they’re “not allowed to express their feelings and always have to act like they’re strong and stoic” etc because like, as if women are allowed to express their feelings???? since when
#also men think not communicating well = not expressing their feelings#they are expressing their feelings. it just comes out in passive aggressive ways that they expect everybody else to accommodate#that’s not being stoic!!#do you think i’m allowed to express a shred of anger without retaliation? do you think people are going out of their way for me to make sure#that i’m comfortable? or that i never get upset or irritated?#be for real

opened tiktok to a fan edit of eric and roselyn and had to laugh at the top comment that read, "i'm just so glad for once that the fans don't ignore the wife and try to push two fictional characters to date in real life" because idk what fandom this person is talking about because there is always that one ☝️ egghead out there commenting on chenford edits like, "i ship them in real life too! 😍" and everytime i see one of these comments it makes me want to throw my laptop against the wall because after 6 years you'd think people would learn that eric and melissa kissing on screen is literally just a part of their jobs as actors.
they're only acting as if they are in love, they will never actually be in love. thanks for coming to my tedtalk.
#*carly catalogs#the chenford fandom is actually one of the worst fandoms in terms of shipping celebs that play a couple on tv imo#the way some people in this fandom can't seem to separate tim from eric and lucy from melissa is ACTUALLY deeply concerning to me#and i find it deeply irritating on roselyn's behalf cause she is seriously SUCH A GEM!!!!!!#she's like a latina sandra bullock! i love her!!#she's gorgeous funny and seems so sweet!#i'm sure they have their ups and downs as any couple does but from what i've seen of them together they are so fucking happy and in love#it's honestly so fucking cute everybody deserves a husband like eric!!!! 😊💕#and if they ever get a divorce i will be SO DEVASTATED idk what i'll do with myself#not that i'm too worried about that they've been going strong since 2008 but i'm just sayin'....#the rookie#roselyn sanchez#eric winter#melissa o'neil#tim bradford#lucy chen#chenford

I know jve said this before but I dont know what it is about me when I talk quietly that just pisses people (mainly men) off when they talk to me. like I can be talking completely normal if a little bit quieter and it just pisses these people off to no end even if I'm careful with what I say and am perfectly calm! would you rather I just be super rude to you so you have an excuse to blow up on me is that it ? like what is going on
#i kind of pride myself on my politeness when it comes to my work. but everybody just cannot help getting irritated with me#i did have a lady come in and i was like mid-hiding-my-crying and she was like are you always that quiet??? not rudely#but like what do you want from meeee

you know. i get that people offer empty platitudes when they don’t know what else to say. but when that’s the only thing you get back, it starts to be fucking patronizing and it really starts to piss me off. it’s fine if you don’t have anything to say!!!! just don’t say anything! just say “i’m sorry you’re going through this.” and leave it at that!!! i don’t need the Soppy Sympathy Express to show up every time i express frustration over my situation!!!
#it’s just so fucking frustrating to be the person people come to for advice#but when you’re the one who needs advice everybody is all shoulders and empty platitudes#yeah i get it#you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute so you just say whatever sympathy thing you can think of#BUT IT’S NOT HELPFUL#AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU’RE PATRONIZING ME#like awwww obrecita you poor widdle baby who can’t get a wee jobbo#fuck#if you don’t have anything constructive to say#just don’t say anything. please.#very tired of being reassured that my inability to provide for myself and my family isn’t my fault uwu#it’s just like………..no shit sherlock. so what the fuck do i do about it.#*screams and rips hair and gnashes teeth and rends garments*#gods it’s so fucking infuriating#just….the whole thing#i KNOW people are just trying to be helpful + supportive#but i find it neither#i in fact find it vexatious and deeply irritating

the thing about reading so many romance novels is my threshold for what is a decent reading experience is basically on the ground. what in any other genre would be a completely mid to not very good book is often a shining bastion of decency and basically ok grammar in a barren wasteland of like absolutely dogshit literature with half strung together sentences and only the barest wisp of character development and personality. i’ll finish a book that actually deigns to think for half a second about character motivations and has any kind of vaguely assembled plot and be like “wow. that’s reading baby :)”
#i’ve read so much bad shit recently that the one i just finished was such a breath of fresh air#was the plot messy? YES! did the characters lose important characterization before the halfway point? YES! was the ending rushed? YES!#did the middle drag? YES! did i know exactly who the bad guy was before everybody else? YES! (tho that’s also successful broadcasting so#not always a negative. but it was so obvious to me for so long.) was it also about cops which is so irritating to read about? YES!#but at least it was something about people with fucking personalities for once!! people with PROBLEMS!!#it’s so sad it has to be this way. why do so many people write such bad books. write better.#‘stop reading romance novels’ no ❤️ i’ll die ❤️#chatpost

Whom do I try to fool, whom do I try to trick into thinking that I love nature?..
#it's better for me to enjoy nature only by looking at other people's photos#i lost my temper a couple of minutes after i took these photos#i can't go anywhere without being irritated by absolutely anything around me#everybody suffers from my misbehaviour#you should know the truth about me#😒#a tree but not an oliver#photographic pictures#it's personal
