Fans of The Used can literally not agree on which of their albums are good huh

[darling-dontforgetme]

I have a secret

I don't actually find Cate Blanchett attractive 😵

I’m sure you’re not the only one.

[destielcowboy]

i’m not sure i agree.

one of the most impactful things i’ve ever read in a fic was between a couple who’s relationship had been exploited for its entirety, and their wedding wasn’t written. we got up to the wedding, and then after. the wedding was personal, just for the two of them, and something that we as onlookers weren’t entitled to, just like the others in the story weren’t entitled to that day either.

i often feel that way about queer people, both in media and real life. no one ever is required to come out, to explain themselves. whether a certain way, or at all. they’re not required to let others know anything about themself that they don’t want to. and one is definitely NOT entitled to another coming out. i don’t care if they’re your best friend, a stranger, or your favorite character in your favorite tv show.

coming out is such a personal moment, and i know it was fucking terrifying for colin. we see in the end of the show when isaac asks if he’s going to tell people and colin responds that the team knows, and that’s enough. we know he told the team. we saw what happened before, we saw what happened after. colin came out to the team, and not a single other person he didn’t want to, including the viewers.

as a queer person myself who is very lucky to have someone in my life that reminds me that i don’t owe anyone an explanation, them cutting out those words, whether few or many, was perfect. we aren’t entitled to that and i thought it was beautiful.

i just think it’s interesting how this episode of ted lasso focused on the straight character’s reactions to queerness, rather than the gay character’s actual queerness.

- we didn’t see Colin actually come out to the team, instead we were forced to assume it happened so we had enough time for Ted’s seven layer dip story.

- we got a conversation focusing on Isaac’s feelings about Colin being gay, but not Colin actually talking about his feelings besides with Trent very briefly.

- we also didn’t get Trent coming out despite the fact that they’ve clearly set him up as gay mentor & continually have him carrying that rainbow mug around

it almost feels like the Ted Lasso writers are afraid to say gay??? like they’re not able to fully embrace the queerness they’re so desperately trying to write into the show.

it would’ve been so easy to actually give Colin his moment without cutting away from that confession, or diluting it with a story about 7-layer dip. there are ways to create comedic moments without taking away from the heartfelt ones we actually want to see, not just infer.

Some of my friends have been asking, so in response to the rumors floating around about any kind of Harry Potter reboot or spin-off:

[coachbeards]

Oh, right. Yeah, no. That…That's a thing.

"I never knew you were a hugger..."

"No body protects nature better than you, sweet Amy."

Whoa, he's bisexual! I didn't know that!

[abyssal-ilk]

listen. i know what the scene was trying to convey, but if anyone ever dropped down and started doing push-ups after accidentally misgendering me instead of just apologizing and moving on, it wouldn't make me feel any better. it would make me feel worse, actually. like. i just sat and cringed at my screen while watching

Obito still wanting to be the Hokage in his dreams during the war arc is funny for many reasons, but mainly to me because he DID get to be a Kage for years, but in Kiri, and to our knowledge, this is how it went:

Possess Yagura, the Mizukage ✓

Become widely known as the tyrant of Blood Mist Village ✓

Instill a policy of making people kill their comrades if they think they might be captured ✓

Cause most of your most powerful ninja (the Seven Swordsman and the village's jinchuriki, Utakata) to abandon the village, losing both their expertise and your village's weapons ✓

Have Zabuza try to coup d'etat and assassinate you ✓

Get attacked by the direct descendants of the god you will one day resurrect ✓

Have all your village's kekkei genkai users under constant threat of being murdered by their fellow villagers, causing them to go into hiding or be wiped out, and lead your nation to economic and social ruin ✓

Like babygirl HAD an oppportunity lead a village, made it worse and still went "no, I'm qualified for this job" and that's a level of confidence we should all perhaps aspire to

One of my mutuals opinions is the "bro code" thing, that Curly is one of those guys who wouldn't care about the victim because the perpetrator is his friend and I'm really banging my head on the wall like that other anon. I've only played through the game once but Curly's behaviour/reactions etc read completely different from the "bro code" thing and I have to wonder if my mutual and I even played the same game.. like the constant digs at him from Jimmy, his body language in his face reveal and so on like you mentioned in your post. While this game is a little different obviously, it kind of reminded of a point in Alice Madness Returns that makes it very clear that Alice's pain blinded her to the abuse of the other children and her failure to act earlier because of it. Curly is guilty of a similar inaction but it doesn't change the fact he was a victim of Jimmy too. I don't think I can look at it any other way because both of these games have really stuck with me.

I genuinely think it really is the idea that people want a simple easy to blame problem and the idea that the only relatable victims of abuse are those that "surpass" it or do a lot to help others. When it comes to victims, especially those that don't fit the typical demographics, who either accidently perpetuate it, enable it or aren't ideal in some way shape or form, people jump to ignore what they went through as it's easier than dealing with those conflicting sentiments.

The bro-code conversation in Mouthwashing stems from a concept I generally dislike that there had to be something about Curly that made him meet or keep being friends with someone like Jimmy. I think people genuinely underestimate how many like decent and good people just know an asshole or are friends with someone who is really bad outside of their view/established dynamics. The game makes it clear none of the inaction against Jimmy is because of a lack of care, it is a lack of understanding from the privaleged postions they have as men to not have to worry about what Anya does/went through and the type of extremes men like Jimmy will go through to cover it up. They are all too preoccupied in their own strifes.

Another thing I see being oversaturated the idea that you have to be a freak, misanthrope or have a disorder to do the thing Jimmy does. The game is an escalation, it's a spiral that I don't see people comment on that Jimmy was not likely having the mood swings and episodes of rage/frustration we were seeing in the game. This is after they all start experiencing the worst moments in their lives that he got THAT openly bad. Of course, this is just my interpretation but much like in real life, people that go to extremes like that usually live mundane lives. It's a pressure cooker affect to where the stress made them pop. It's self inflicted but still the case.

I really think people need to be more willing to acknowledge that not everything needs to be an extreme or in black and white or easy to understand. It doesn't need to be happy or have an answer or solution, especially in the cases where the abused sadly helps perpetuate what they experience. It's not he should've known better from experience or shouldn't he have known what could've happened because victims tend to not like to think in matters of the worst. Not to mention, especially in cases of abuse where it feels so personally directed that you don't expect to happen to someone else.

All of that is your opinion, but thank goodness not everyone has to have the same opinion. 😁

I reference Chris Sonnenburg because, despite how much people hate him, he still was the director. He determined what was canon and not-canon. When he said it was canon that Cass liked Andrew, it wasn’t meant in a way that she was with him because of it. Obviously, she did it to foil him (duh). But that, along the way, she was attracted to him. I have even seen people ship them together, where she helps to reform him kind of like Rapunzel did with Eugene.

As for Cassarian, again, there is nothing wrong with age gaps. Raps and Eugene, themselves, have quite a significant one, as do a lot of canon couples in media that people don’t even realize. My own parents have a 17-year age gap, so it’s definitely something that has never bothered me. 😂

Just because you can’t see two characters being together, doesn’t mean that others can’t or shouldn’t. I absolutely could see it happening. In fact, people who have read my fanfics say that I write the characters so well that it’s just like watching the show. And yes, I have even had some non-Cassarian shippers read out of curiosity, and they have said that they understand the ship more now.

And if we’re saying that something is canon just because a worker on the show said it, we might as well say Cassarian is canon as well because there were workers who shipped it, too. 😆

In conclusion, I’m not here to tear apart anyone’s headcanons about Cassunzel. I, personally, do see them as sisters, but I don’t attack anyone who sees them as something more. The only reason I continue to inform people that Cass is not a canon lesbian is is because others are constantly using it as an excuse to bully me into why I shouldn’t ship my favorite ship, when I have every right to ship whatever I want just as they have that right.

Just please remember that everybody has different opinons, and that is okay. Not everyone has to think the same. 💜

I ddon't ask this question in a hatable way but: why do you believe Cassandra and Varian fit together as a couple?

I personal also agree and hating the ship for the age difference is stupid the only thing i see wrong in the ship is that they actually wouldn't fall in love and that Cass is a canon lesbian..

Again this is my opinion and out of curiosity since I love tts I wanted to ask you :33333

Thank you for kindly asking! 😁 I’ve kind of already answered this a couple times on my blog, though. 😅

Basically, I feel that Varian and Cassandra are the only ones who could truly understand each other after having such similar villainous pasts. It’s clear on the series that Varian cares for her, and though it would take a long time I do think Cassandra could fall for him eventually once she realizes how well he understands her (I portray this in my fanfic, “I’m Done Holding Back”).

Also, I’m a sucker for a ship with a tough/fiery girl and dopey/clumsy guy. 😂 I have quite a few favorite ships that are similar.

But I would also like to point out again (as I have before) that Cassandra is NOT a canon lesbian. A character designer on the show said she personally saw Cass as such, and people ran with it thinking, “Oh, she works on the show. So it must be canon!” But having known people who work in that industry, character designers have nothing to do with what is canon. The person who does have every say in what is canon is the director, and Chris Sonnenburg (the director/show-runner of TTS) confirmed that Cassandra liked Andrew in the episode “Under Raps” (he said the look on her face in the final scene of the episode proved it). He never once confirmed that Cassandra was a lesbian.

I respect people’s headcanons, and I can see how they would think that she is. But no, it is not canon. 💜

unpopular opinion: Korn is not the baddest of bad guys

Is Korn a good guy? No. Definitely not. He, without a doubt, accepts his place in the gambling/money laundering part of his father's company. Does he have a choice, though? I don't think he does.

I've seen people talking about Korn being the bad guy, who takes advantage of Ton Kla, their Sugar Daddy arrangement, cheats on him with Fasai (which imo is NOT something he enjoys or even wants to do. I think he's being forced into it but that's for another time I guess) etc etc but I see it differently

Korn loves Ton Kla. Plain and simple. He loves him. Korn just unfortunately, like a lot of people getting raised by shitty excuses for parents, is acting and reacting in the only way he knows how. By control.

It's so clear to see.

The scene where Korn comes back to Ton Kla after two weeks, to me, speaks volumes of Korn's feelings. He's an open book right there.

"How about I fill you in on what happened, okay?"

You can see the hope on his face. He's been gone for weeks, feels guilty about it and now he really wants to tell (his lover) where he was and what happened. I mean, he did just get promoted too (even if its into a fucked up money scheme wth). But he wants to tell Ton Kla because he's finally got time to see him again, he wants to share his hardships and joys. Like normal couples would, right?

But then when Ton Kla doesn't want to listen, doesn't want to hear any of it, Korn gets disappointed.

he then makes the stupidest mistake ever by assuming a fuck would fix everything. Give the boy what he usually wants and the boy will forgive him, right? right?

Wrong.

Ton Kla doesn't want to have sex , which tbf, after being ghosted for two weeks (and having found another toy to play with) isn't weird. I wouldn't either. Go Ton Kla for pushing him away.

The face of realization because Korn is losing control. Not that he's had any control over anything the last few weeks, because not even his subordinates listened to him when he ordered them not to hurt Nan. In fact, I'd even say Korn is naive for believing they'd follow his order.

And then Ton Kla drops a massive, all left over peace shattering bomb because 'his brother was killed and Korn wasn't there, Korn didn't know, Korn let him down.' <- aka Korn's inner monologue probably.

"Who did it, Ton Kla?"

Baby tries so hard, to come up with something to do, to help. Suggesting the only things he's knows, the only things that's probably helped him: his connections through his father. And here's where people bitch about 'he didn't even ask Ton Kla if he was okay!'

listen, I know, I understand. But the man has also been through some shit, he's just reacting right now. He needs to know what happened, so he can help. So he can get that control back that he lost and desperately needs back.

"You don't have to help me. Someone else is already helping."

And once again he gets rejected by his lover, shattering the already shattered pieces of whatever's left of his heart and patience.

Korn so badly wanted to come back to his love, his boy, to share with him what happened in the past two weeks, to finally breathe and calm down. But unfortunately, a lot has happened to Ton Kla too, who just can't handle Korn's absence and random appearance.

"Just go."

Another rejection. Shot straight through the heart.

Ton Kla is not playing around, that's for sure. And honestly, good on him. This is not a pity party for Korn. Both are just reacting to their feelings. Poorest little meow meows. Stuck in their own dysregulation.

"You dare chase me away?"

That right there, is the look of a man who is hurting. Who can't believe what's happening. Knowing he fucked up and won't be allowed to fix it.

He even stumbles out of the house! Poor Korn. I feel for him.

Korn may not be the best character, is very morally gray, but I think people shouldn't forget the home that brought him up. You become what is preached to you, and if you don't know that that is wrong, you can't change. Nothing.

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.
