“you didn’t say anything tho” IM TOO SCARED TO

[phantom-of-the-501st]

Okay... so about that RadioTimes article

I was gonna make a post about this earlier and I didn't because I didn't feel like my thoughts were in a place that didn't come off as

But I think I've got my thoughts somewhat together, so I'm just gonna drop my (admittedly unnecessary) two cents on the whole thing.

"Imagined romance"

My question to whoever wrote this: have you watched the show and/or engaged with any other interviews involving cast/writers?

Not only is it (sometimes obvious) subtext in the show, but it's been confirmed by actors and writers alike. You don't even need to do much digging to find out about it. To me, it feels like it feeds too much into this idea that you can only have a romance if it's explicitly mentioned/shown through physical intimacy, which it doesn't! The show actually depicted a healthy, loving relationship between two beings without physical intimacy only for the fans to be publicly labelled as somewhat delusional for seeing it.

And then there's this bit...

(I'm saying this as a cishet female, so please jump in with corrections/added context if needed).

This made me feel incredibly weird when I first read this because the quote used didn't seem to be proving much of the point they were making. Putting aside the absurdity that is "resisted pressure to give in to the fan-fiction phenomenon", the fact that they immediately jump to using a quote about the characters' understanding of gender as proof of there being no romance feels so odd.

Am I just misinterpreting this whole section or something because the entire thing seems to be saying "Gaiman disproved the fans' delusion of an imaginary romance by confirming that neither Crowley nor Aziraphale understand the human concept of gender" as if the characters being gender non-conforming is proof that they aren't romantically involved?

Like, are we running with the idea that a romance can only be built between two people who each conform to a specific gender category? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because I am genuinely baffled.

Or are they trying to say that they don't understand human concepts like gender and are therefore also unlikely to understand romance? (Edit: But even if they don't understand the concept of romance, surely that doesn't exclude them from experiencing those feelings). Or did they just pull a random quote that didn't quite work because there isn't actually one of Gaiman explicitly saying that there is no romantic connection?

Other than the last two paragraphs, I actually found the article to be quite interesting. But the end left a sour taste in my mouth.

On the plus side, we did get this gorgeous pic today. 🩵

Like I said earlier, please add corrections or context if necessary. Or just drop your thoughts in general. I know people were taken aback a bit by the article and while I don't think there was malicious intent or anything by the writer, it feels misguided.

But enjoy the Ineffable Husbands sitting on a rock together because it's a gorgeous photo.

I feel like I have more dog than cat vibes but I can't tell for sure.

I mean yeah, your kinfa right

But i can just as easily see you as an old and wise feline as i can seeing you as an old and wise canine

You dont have the energeticness of a pup, or the mischeviousnesw of a kitten eithwr

So im thinking just, like,

I had the words -

Oh

You have the loyality of a dog yeah, but the calmness of an older one

Your quite calm and easy to talk with

So yeah, just a medoum aged doggo

Ok so I know it's weird to say but I really didn't expect Ukraine to win

And I'm glad they did

They were un my top 10 all this time and their song is good and touching

I genounely cried during their winner's performance cause even though I don't speak Ukrainian I read the translation of the lyrics a couple of times and it's like they've been embeded in me

I can really feel their love for this mother and dread that all of her life she needed to look out for them even if they didn't like it at times

There aren't a lot of songs out there that can really express familial love and this one does it perfectly. It's full of mixed emotions that all of them are powerful and consuming. And as one who knows what it's like to fear for her family's welbeing during war periods, I can get the extra meaning it has now for ukrainian people (not all of it of course, but at least a small fraction of it)

So all in all, I do think this win is not ((just)) political. It's a really powerful song. At least for me.

I do feel sad for Malik from Germany that didn't deserve to be last; his song is extremely good and he's an amazing performer, but at least he doubled the points from last year? I guess that's something???

Also I don't think the UK or Sweden were that great. Like, I don't anything against them, I just think they're too normal for esc...

But now I don't know what's next? Like are we really going to do esc in warzone? Or just hope the war will be over? Even if it will, there will be a lot to recover and it's obvious that they will need financial assistance ((and tbh I don't see any world leaders volenteering...))

I just hope that esc will be their last concern and that everyone affected will find themself safe in a place they can call home
