#he’s a problematic fave

I love Jasico dynamic because it has Jason embracing Nico’s wierdness and also his own wierdness. Very cute.

I love Nicobaster dynamic because both Nico and Al are already weird and they just get along being lil weirdos together (maybe competitively weird bc I like it when they fight also bc Al is just very combative). Very stupid (affectionate)

Just 2 different flavors of Dorks in love. Excellent.

some really multi-layered acting from Kevin here that we haven't gotten to see in a while and I absolutely love: starting with the restless look when he's first clinging to Cody, slight conflict still clear in his body language. then Cody firmly pats him on the back twice, and that smallest bit of violence (the thing which fuels so much of who KO is as a wrestling character), seems to provide either a distraction or a relief from the indecision. we see Kevin's stare move a thousand miles away, until he remembers there's a camera in his face capturing a rare moment of vulnerability and his brow instantly turns in anger as he shoves it away, breaking the moment for both himself and the prying viewer Kevin Owens may never win the war against his impulse to turn on those close to him, but he's won the latest battle and that might be enough for now

Ludinus is a tumblr user who "got a bad vibe" and went digging through a very old blog to make a callout post about a popular user who may or may not have once held some shitty beliefs but who has been a neutral to good presence since most anyone else has ever heard of them. And when people rightfully go "hey that's fucked up" Ludinus goes "you're all being deceived! Only I and the people who Get It understand that this Big User is abusing their station! I'm going to keep putting this old post in people's faces until they see and turn against this person!" The fact that this is being entertained as a legitimate argument in-game on top of the fact that the gods are being mostly kept out of the picture and can't speak up for themselves has the part of my brain that DESPISES intentional miscommunication as a plot device very agitated. It's stupid when it happens on tumblr and it's stupid now.

I think about HuaiSang and I'm like haha funny little clown man. he's so smart for making everyone think he's incompetent while actually being seven moves ahead of them in five-dimensional chess. falling over LXC and JGY while sobbing in one move? peak comedy, 10/10, love episode 40 so much. "The problem has resolved… but new problems have appeareddddd" he's just like me for real

And then I remember that he misses his brother and was made to help kill him, that he wanted his old friend so much that he brought him back to life so he could make everything better. That he has spent almost twenty years behind a mask of his own devising and that he might not even know who he really is anymore. That my little lad who just wanted to be an artist and paint willow trees and collect fans has become as much a warrior as the rest of the Sunshot generation. And then I want to cry

the thing about Armand calling what he did at the end of ep6 his one act of cowardice is like... babe ALL your acts are acts of cowardice, every single one of them!

he let Lestat destroy the original Paris coven because he was too afraid to make any change himself, whether out of fear of retribution from Rome or fear they wouldn't follow or whatever other reason.

and then trying to let the same thing happen with Louis, trying to let his presence destroy it again when Santiago got out of hand, he was too much of a coward to ever face Santiago directly but he was more than willing to sit idly by and watch it happen.

in San Francisco he's too much of a coward to say I love you to Louis for Lestat. he's too much of a coward to let Daniel go and only does it when Louis invokes The Dynamic. and whether you believe Louis actually did ask for his memories to be erased I feel either way doing it is cowardly. either he didn't ask and Armand was too afraid of him remembering everything and it ruining their carefully constructed relationship, or he did ask for it and well honestly the same thing, plus being too afraid to deny Louis.

even his whole distaste at making a fledgling I think on some level has to do with him being cowardly, he's seen the emotional toll it takes and doesn't want that for himself or anyone else but I also think fears not being able to read the mind of someone around him, because he wants total control.

everyone on the show manipulates those around them in a desire for control, but in different ways and for different reasons. for Louis it's to have a sense of control and power he never fully had in his human life as a black gay man in Louisiana, for Lestat it's because he believes his way of life, whatever it happens to be at the time, is the best and only way and needs everyone around him to do as he does, for Santiago it's because he wants power and i think also feels he has something to prove as the youngest of a very old coven. and Armand does it out of fear and need for control. he wants everything exactly in its place because he has to keep up the carefully constructed facade of his life, if he lets anything slip the whole thing could come crumbling down so he gets more and more desperate to keep it as is because that's easier than confronting himself.

i don’t think death threats and shit are justified ever and people ought not send them, especially over motorsport, but it does irk me how some norris fans are straw-manning this into ‘we just think it’s toxic to hate on ANY drivers for existing and doing nothing wrong’ as if people who don’t like him have no developed reasoning and they’re taking a stand against hate broadly when i dislike norris for valid reasons based on his past behavior, not just for shits and giggles

The most insane for me is when people who stan tommy uses what taylor did to bobby to hate on her. Like, okay that was absolutely fucked up, and I'm not a fan of her either, but i feel like if you still use this reason even though bobby was fine with her after (even inviting her in his house), then maybe there's something you should hold against tommy too (no matter if hen and chimney look friendly towards him) ??

the funny thing is that hen and chimney are...pretty lukewarm towards him, actually. you have chim who only contacted tommy like twice when he needed his help and didn't invite him to his wedding...you have hen who, in 3x16, was very emphatic about not being friends with any of the guys who used to work at the 118 when she joined; and even tommy makes a crack about not getting her christmas cards. not saying they hate him or anything! i think they're fine with him, honestly. but it's not some great friendship like people like to pretend, sorry 🤷🏽‍♀️ and yeah, i definitely think it's weird that all the female love interests, taylor included, have gotten so much shit for much less. i still remember that one person who tried to say that tommy being brought back was better than lucy, because lucy made "a terrible first impression" on the audience. worse than the guy who was introduced as being part of the white man status quo who was complicit in racism and misogyny? hm.
