HI! i've been wanting to follow you for a while but i don't wanna make you uncomfortable so i have to ask, do you mind when people (as a joke, like not seriously shipping themselfs with) say that one of your f/os is their bfs or that kind of stuff? i don't really know much about the selfshipping community so i don't know where the "non-sharing" starts and when does it stop, sorry if it's a dumb question lol (/gen)
not a dumb question at all!!! non-sharing kinda means different things to different people, so itās a good thing to ask & I appreciate it <3
in my case it really depends on how itās said & how often itās saidā¦. bc for me personally I tend to liberally block anyone who even just seems to be too close to my f/o (just for my own sanity lol), but if itās just a joke tag or two here & there on some random posts or reblogs (or making memes abt it) I canāt say I mind too much.
like thereās a difference between constantly posting outright āx character is my boyfriend and I love himā in a way that can be taken seriously versus just adding a tag to some reblog once a week that says ālook at my bfā as a joke or something. the former I would probably block, but the latter I can deal with.
it really just depends on how I feel in the moment. but honestly since youāve taken the time to ask me like this Iād probably be wayyy more lenient toward you than some random (especially since I know with you itās just a joke) š so go ahead & follow if youād like!! if it really makes me uncomfortable for whatever reason (which I doubt) Iāll just unfollow, but I wonāt block you over it. no hard feelings at all <3
#tldr you can follow & Iāll follow back but if it gives me that deep dark dreading feeling Iām unfollowing but I wonāt block#hope that makes sense š«¶š«¶š«¶#ā” inbox š„

am i insane or is starlineās plan actually coming together?
surge and kit are being propped up as heroes and praised, meanwhile this situation sonic and tails are in is going to get them in trouble with the restoration. even if they reveal clutch and mimic by the end of this arc, they still worked with eggman. sonic is using eggmanās tech. itās not even that itāll be viewed as a betrayal, that is a betrayal
if things keep going the way theyāre going, sonic and tails are be seen as, at worst, traitors to the restoration while surge and kit are heroes, meaning that the latter are one step closer to replacing the brothers when it comes to public image
surge and kit didnāt even have to kill them, just leave them to their own devices and sonic and tails will fuck up their own reputations ahshdhdjdjs (they do have good intentions in this case, but still-)
am i looking way too much into this? yea probably lol but thatās what i do. idek if any of this makes sense
#and damn it I HOPE IT HAPPENS!! i want to see the restoration crumble before shit gets better#also yes i know amy is also working with the brothers but this aināt about her rn. sorry girl ily š«¶ youāre doing great#but MF THEYRE WINNING? SURGE AND KIT ARE WINNING? UNKNOWINGLY TOO#this arc has me in a CHOKEHOLD#āsonic and tails have saved the world so many more times than surge and kit so it makes no senseāāā shhhhhhhut the fuck up#shut the fuck up#go somewhere else to rant about the idw comics because this is not the place#idw sonic#idw sonic spoilers#phantom rider arc

i have so many things to say about how the android revolution was handled in dbh, especially how most of the conflict was around markusās choices to be violent or peaceful. idrk how to phrase it all but like. ugh it just bugs me how the androids Have to be peaceful and cooperative in order to gain freedom
a huge part of the revolution is āwe canāt stoop to the same level as the humanā and it makes me so mad. like yeah sure, murder and hurting ppl isnāt good. but protests for rights have never been peaceful. you donāt gain rights by being peaceful and perfect. i just hate it so much. plus, the game has obvious parallels to the civil rights movement (even if david cage says itās not. it is. even if it wasnāt, this game is political no matter how u view it. the topic of rights and freedom will always be political) and to imply that the android revolution has to be near perfectly peaceful to succeed is crazy. girl does he think the civil rights movement was entirely peaceful?? someone put him and all the other writers in a god damn history class
not to mention markus. i think the writers saw him as like the equivalent to mlk jr, with the parallels to the civil rights movements and such, which is crazy considering they turned him into their Savior and led the whole movement. like. side eye. idk i love markusās story, but i think the whole revolution and being turned into a savior robo jesus was so so bad and tone deaf (thank u david cage..) . and the whole revolution TOOK PLACE IN A WEEK. A WEEK. THATS INSANEE. A WHOLE REVOLUTION IN A WEEK IS INSANE. i understand that a game needs to end but we donāt need to see Every Single Second of the story!! spread it out over a month, give characters time to form relationships, let the plot thicken, let things get tense, let things simmer and develop!!! not everything needs to happen on screen!!! one of my biggest gripes about the game is its timeline </3
i know i just rambled a bunch but god it annoys me so much. markusās story was done so wrong for so many reason, and as a queer person whoās largely interested in protests and movements for rights and such, it just makes me so mad how badly and idealistically it was created. it feels like it was written by humans, by OPPRESSORS, dreaming of a utopia where they are still good people. :/ which i suppose it IS in a way ā but still u get my point
EDIT: here are some more things i said in the reblog a that i want more ppl to see
i hate how northās violence and anger is seen as a bad thing. i hate how markus never gets a moment to rest or interact with people outside of conversations that love the plot forward. i hate how jericho just accepts that theyāll die before theyāre violent in order to āwin.ā i hate that āwinningā is even a thing in this context. i hate that androids constantly have to be better than humans and not stoop to theyāre level. according to these writer, they canāt be angry in the face of their oppression and that SUCKS.
when i played this game with my cousins, we were so desperate to make every pacifist choice in order to raise our public opinion so we could win. we could tell from the first few markus scenes, he wasnāt allowed to be angry or mad or hateful or violent if he wanted to have close to the same respect humans got. and that SUCKED. it made us feel like we were just taking hit after hit after hit and never accomplishing anything.
i love this game and i love markus (heās probably my fav character) but the way the revolution is handled is awful considering how itās such a metaphor for oppression and oppressed ppl. itās not even rlly a metaphor ā itās just direct symbolism. like. androids are oppressed yet the only way they can fight back without getting murdered and ran down is by being entirely peaceful. there should have been a Balance. you should have valences the violence and the peace in order to get a good outcome. not all one way and all the other way. the game also shouldāve been longer than a WEEK. bc thatās rlly a huge issue with it.
outside of maybe the kiss with north and returning to carlās house/grave, markus doesnāt get a single moment to exist without the revolution and the plot. even those two scenes kinda serve the plot. meanwhile, connor gets moments like looking through hankās desk, breaking into hankās house, talking with hank on the bridge to develop his character and relationships outside of the plot. markus doesnāt get that (kara kinda does? but instead of being tied to the plot, sheās just tied to kara the whole time, which can be just as bad).
markusās friendships never feltā¦ real? they largely felt like it was just bc of all the jericho stuff and the revolution. all his friends just served a narrative purpose. north was the violent choices, josh was the peaceful choices, and simonā¦ well iāll be honest, simon died rlly early in my play through so i barely knew him. but from what iāve seen, heās the ācowardlyā route. honestly markus and simonās friendship seems the most realistic since simon is constantly sacrificing himself for markus and such. which is saying something considering north is markusās love interest (and that came out of NO WHERE)
with markus and northās romance, it feels so forced. not to say i hate norkus, but itās so fast and sudden and u can just Tell itās for plot reason ā which is proved by the kiss at the very end of the game. they had no time to get to know each other or form a relationship outside of the android revolution and keeping jericho together and alive. it gives the vibes of āin 2 months weāll realize we were just in a relationship because he felt we had to be, not because we liked each other romanticallyā which, iāll be honest that vibe is awesome, but considering that was Not what the writers were going for, it falls very flat.
all in all i love markusās story but by good did the writers fuck it up. get me behind the pencil, iāll do it myself
#it makes me soo. ugh#i hope any of this made any sense. iām gonna main tag this bc i love discussion š«¶#please chime in with ur thoughts i wanna hear opinions#also i know it sounds like i hate this game i rlly donāt. i love it sm. hyperfixation go crazy#but itās good to be critical of the things u enjoy especially when itās smth like this#dbh#detroit become human#dbh crit#dbh markus#dont even get me started on the misogyny here#blueās inputs#blueās programming#EDIT: iāve edited this post to remove a quote out of respect for the woman who wrote it#since a writer of the game supports her oppressors and i donāt believe i should be using her words for a game that was written by someone -#who opposes her and her messages. š«¶

Does oc ever get feisty? For example try to rile jk up or mirror behaviors like his mother to f with jk or is she always a doormat?
Right now sheās pretty much a doormat lol. However, thatās not to say she will always be a doormat. We shall see in the upcoming events š¶š.
( I also didnāt want to make the OC act in a way that didnāt make sense or have her have a drastic change in personality too early on in the story. Her character development is a bit a more slow because the reasoning for the OC not getting that riled up or assertive has to do with her history with anxiety and general personality patterns. I didnāt want to make the OC a doormat just for the sake of her being a doormat, it was more so to showcase a character that would struggle a lot to be assertive due to other factors and flaws in herself . Sheās a very insecure and fearful character since the start. We see this in the way she seemingly has a habit already of surrounding herself with much more domineering type of people ( Eunji ) where she kinda falls victim to this cycle of being a follower & not ever feeling sure of herself and this ties in a lot to her current relationship with Jungkook. To her Jungkook is like Eunji on steroids in a way lol )

For the MCYT summer of yuri event.
Tags: Bagi/Tina (QSMP), AU - normal life, mechanic Tinakitten, teacher OiBagi, mentioned/brief appearance of side character Cellbit, Bagi and Cellbit are siblings, mechanic cellbit, first date, meetcutes
Bagi gets ready to have lunch with Tina...
Sheās not sure if itās a date officially, but she really likes this woman.
She first met the mechanic at the auto shop her brother worked at by chance only. It just so happened she kept meeting her over the course of a few weeks of repeated random car trouble. Could Bagi have asked her brother to fix it at home, instead of going out of her way to the shop so much?
... well, yes, but somehow it always seemed more convenient to bring it directly to Tina, it just so happening to be while the auto shop was busy enough that Cellbit would be in the back. When he found out where Tina's stellar reviews had come from recently, Bagi's brother chewed her out about being so irresponsible over a crush.
āYou think I raised you to hurt your poor car? Itās your responsibility to look after it, just tell me when something is broken and I've always always fixed it - for free! Everyone is fine, your wallet is fine, your car is healthy. And now what do I do? I go to work and everyone says, oh, there goes Cellbit, with the car-murdering sister, hope he doesnāt treat my cars so roughly. Bagi, youāre setting a bad example!ā Bagi āyeah, yeahāed and agreed that she should probably stop racking up so much in mechanic bills. She needs to face her subconscious motivations and ask Tina if she might like to meet outside of work.
Well, the day came, and Bagi was glad of it. She would have been happy anyway because it was the weekend, after a long week of corralling children who should really be old enough to know better but are instead only old enough to know they can cause chaos. But she spent the morning hours of light wondering what she was going to say to Tina. She didnāt often go on dates, and she really liked Tina. The mechanic was always so fun to talk to, and seemed totally engaged with her even when sticking her head shoulders-deep into the guts of her poor mistreated car. She was drawn to Tinaās personality, and felt all kinds of romantic stuff for her that she hoped could one day bloom into a relationship.
First, though, she needs to make a good impression.
Bagi wears her favorite baseball hat, because sheās going out, not going to school, so she doesnāt have to follow dress code and lead her kids by example (not that it works - the students are always wearing hats and goofing off. It's one of their endearing quirks that no matter how many hats are confiscated in class, they will always show up with another.). She picks out a ācasual weekend get-togetherā outfit that looks nice and waits for Tina to pick her up at the scheduled time.
Tina, being holed up at the auto shop all day and tired of her greasy canvas uniform, had dressed up with style that belied the way she usually appeared to Bagi - when she has car trouble and needs it fixed in the middle of the day, Bagi comes to Tinaās work where sheās synonymous with sturdy and khaki work gloves, taupe coveralls and boots that wouldnt be harmed stepping on a lost screw. By contrast now, when she hears a beep outside her house she sees that Tina is sporting a cute, elegant dress and a makeup look that she learns during the car ride is called āmob wife makeupā, which Tina saw online as it had risen as a current trend to try. Somehow, she doesnāt feel underdressed in comparison to the high glamour influences, though she regrets her shorts a little when the summer heat leaves her peeling her legs slowly off the passenger seat upon arrival. Tina helps her out of the car and they turn to the restaurantās menu to decide if what they discussed being hungry for in the car was really what they wanted to order.
As they take their seats, Bagi adjusts her collared shirt and finds herself looking at Tina instead of the names of the food items.
She was honestly stunning, slaying the house down, and Bagi hardly tasted the first few bites of her pasta when their food arrived untilā¦
āHere,ā says Tina, ātry mine.ā She put a few different pieces on her fork and held it out to Bagi.
Bagi felt like she was in a painting as she leaned forward and accepted the bite of food from Tinaās fork. Either that or on a prank channel. Something was playing in slow motion, and all she could do was hope she didn't look stupid.
The food was delicious. Bagi chewed and watched Tina take some from her plate to try.
āItās good shrimp, right?ā Tina says before taking a bite of pasta. āHey, thatās pretty good too!ā
Bagi smiles. āYeah, tastes great.ā She privately debates whether sheās brave enough to say āYou look great, too," without it sounding stupid and cliche.
The decision is left unmade as Tina responds in the pause. Bagi likes hearing Tina talk. Her voice is nice, even when itās not explaining her car to her for the third time in a week. She might be a little nervous about this possibly-date still, but at least theyāre in it together. Their sides arrive, and they clear a bit of space on the table.
āI want you.ā
āHuh?ā she says stupidly.
Tina clears her throat and looks up at the menu on the wall again. āI said do you want anything for dessert?ā
Bagi might be losing her hearing, then. āI usually go for a chocolate cheesecake for a dessert, but thatās usually for a dinner, so itās a little early in the day.ā She looks to the menu too. āMaybe a fruit soda float?ā
āYeah? Awesome. I wasnāt trying to have a date hinging on dinner right now either,ā Tina says, and Bagiās heart skips. So it is a date! Has been, even. ā- because I heard from my cousin that he got food poisoning at the last dinner he ate out for. Man, that sucks cuz heās a yapper too so he was real in-depth about it. This lunch is great though. I guess there wasnāt really a risk of it relating, cuz he was at a Chiliās in a different state, which really doesnāt say anything about the possible, like, quality of the food here. I dunno, it was on my mind though. Whatever.ā Tinaās face is so pretty, but the makeup doesnāt hide her ears going pink.
āI think food should never poison you.ā Bagi facepalmed mentally, and kept going to make it make sense. āI mean, itās - food. Weāve had it for all of history, or we wouldnāt be alive, no? We should have figured out a way to make it not poison you. Food poisoning should never exist. Just take out the poison!ā
Tina cackles, agreeing. āYouāre so smart, Bagi. They need to make you President!ā
The date goes well. Lunch at the restaurant turned out to be less expensive than two mechanic jobs, but not by that much, so they resolve to try a different restaurant next time to try to save their wallets from this becoming just as regular an expense. Tina drives with a steady hand, humming along to the song on the radio, and Bagi notices that the tiny stuffed animal hanging from the windshield is not just decoration, but also scented. It smells like sweet tea and candy fruits. Tina tells her she started buying scented plushies for the car after the time she rescued a stray kitten on the street and it immediately peed inside, laughing. Bagi might be in love.
Tina stops in front of her door and walks her up to the house, chivalrous. Bagi unlocks the door with the key around her neck and then pauses in the doorway, unsure but not wanting to see Tina leave yet.
āDo you wanna come in?ā Bagi asks, scuffing her sneakers on the welcome mat. The afternoon sun brings out the teal highlight contrasts in Tinaās shining dress. She looks good standing in front of Bagi's house. She thinks she'd like to see her in this place every day, wherever her home is.
Tina takes the invitation and Bagi brings her in to sit on the couch and keep talking. She tells her about the board games in the living room closet and Tina tells her which ones she knows how to play and which ones she never got the hang of, or just haven't tried yet. āMaybe we could have a game night one of these days.ā
That makes Bagi smile. āI always hear about themed times, like some kidās family will have a dedicated Thursday night is Spaghetti Night or something. It seems cute, and I don't do enough activities. We should do that someday.ā
She doesnāt feel brave enough for a first-date cuddle or kiss, but when the hour gets late she microwaves a bowl of Cellbitās boyfriendās soup that he brought over in a big container the other day, and they clink spoons and make airplane noises and look at the neighborās dog playing in their yard with fallen leaves and golden hour daylight.
āI hope that just because we have another date to plan doesn't stop you from coming to my shop after school in the meantime,ā Tina tells Bagi at the door. āYouāre allowed to come and talk to me, keep me company. You don't need to break your car every time, or itāll be too long in between. Iāll miss youuuu.ā
āNo, donāt come,ā Cellbit says, having come home from work while they were having dinner. "Let my mechanics focus on their work!ā
ā-youuuuur food, Iāll miss her coffee and bringing snacks, Cellbit, jeez.ā Tina spins the words. āAren't we allowed food breaks?ā
āNo, starve!ā Cellbit says, laughing from the kitchen. āFine, keep distracting Tina.ā
Bagi laughs and laughs. In a flurry of bravery, she holds Tina's arm and kisses her face under the early moonlight. All blush now, she stands back and waves as Tina winks at her before driving off. She stands by the door for a few minutes, daydreaming about their next date, before Cell yells at her to come inside and stop staring at the road like a crazy person.
And maybe she is crazy. A little bit crazy in love.

wanted to share the sentiment here too but didn't feel like rewriting the whole thing lmao so here are some Thoughts i had last night on twt regarding my weird relationship with my art whilst being in fandom:
i know i've definitely talked about this kind of thing in the past but it's been a very recent development that i actually understand what's been going on with me and why i've picked up this habit of letting a fandom i'm in / a piece of media i'm really into fully dictate my creative drive. like, just because i'm very interested or invested in something, it doesn't mean i necessarily feel inspired by it or inspired by it for the duration that it holds my interest, and forcing myself to create relative art or fic or what have you for the vested interest(s) has both dampened my desire to be creative as well as my imagination. i know a lot of people can be super into something or a few random things at once and that can keep them going for ages without them running out of ideas, but in my case, things that hold my interest aren't always synonymous with my creativity and i'm just now learning that despite how obvious it seems!
i also imagine i'm not the only person who functions like this but i personally haven't seen it spoken about very often (if it even needs to idk), so i wanted to bring it up / talk about it a little bit :)
#art things#alex talks#if you've been following me for awhile or at least saw this coming before i did: does it not at all seem obvious lmao#i think the guilt i was feeling for so long over it being my 'obligation' as an artist in any fandom to only cater to fandom was also#exacerbated by some kind of impostor syndrome like... wait why is this so easy for other people also into x but not me?#makes sense now why i seem to lose steam so fast when i'm making work for one thing at a time only#i need to spice it up!! even if i come back to something eventually i can't force it!#thank u adhd my behated for another extension of my executive dysfunction but i guess#i will learn to work with it :) shedding the guilt has been the hardest part and ik i'll still struggle at times to be inspired or feel#like i need to be doing something specific to cater to other people rather than go with what drives me at the moment but#that's ok! that's life!#here's to me making a lot more art / general creative stuff š«” i hope the utter randomness of what i have in store#appeases at least one other person š«¶#sidenote 1d fics will still be eventually finished but 1d art.... we'll have to see bc of the ipad wipe :')#also haven't been in the mood for awhile tbh! been into another stuff and less generally hyperfixated (thank god)#anyway onto better days and more creation!!

do you have a favourite portrayal of a character in the gotg game!! who is it and why <3
Oh I think they're all great honestly!!! Part of why I love the game so much is that genuinely, the whole team + supporting characters are written with such obvious love of the source material and equal attention between them all. When I see comments of people saying who their favorite character was from the game and the answer always being different from each person I'm like!! That's how it SHOULD be!!! They're the Guardians of the Galaxy (plural) the focus shouldn't all fall on a singular character like most other GotG media usually ends up as š
The two (sorry I can't pick just one) whom I think benefit the most from the game though are Drax and Gamora because they're almost always sidelined both in-and-out of universe by most of the various writers (especially as of late) and in turn the viewers/readers. I've been told plenty of times that they're the most boring members of the "main" team, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY! The amount of love the game versions get (by the few who've played it at least) proves that š„ŗ
I've never really liked 616 Drax shifting to being a complete clown during the 90s and such (and even less so when the MCU followed along š) So I appreciate the game taking a bit of his seriousness from the DnA run and just making him struggle with nuance and context clues in a less exaggerated way (autistic Drax I still believe in u) and I feel the focus put on him and how losing his original family + the aftermath deeply affected him hits pretty hard here because it's treated very seriously and shown in depth, especially with how his family (wife) gets actual focus. I cannot tell you anything about Yvette in comparison to Hovat, who actually seemed to have had a personality lol (AND she was on their village's council like omg imagine having more to you than just being The Housewife) Though I will say I flip and flop on my thoughts about Heather being disconnected from Drax's life in this universe... The TLDR is that I think his arc here specifically works stronger when he has to come to terms with losing his entire family and accepting the life he currently has with the Guardians. BUT!!! I very much appreciate that Heather is still confirmed to exist within this universe, even if that means her dad issues would have to be dealt with in a different context if we ever get to see her.
Also? Shoutout to the writers actually bringing up the intense paranoia that always kneecapped 616 Drax but having that be a turning point in his backstory here, with that conversation he has with Peter where he talks about how he was becoming so paranoid of everyone being a chitauri/Thanos conspirator to the point of literally turning into an obsessed maniac like Thanos, and realizing that he desperately needed to turn his life around, it's so ough.
Out of the already many great conversations throughout the game, I think the ones with him are the most poignant. My favorite scene in the whole game is Drax and Pete's little moment on Knowhere... makes me go wahhh
(l also love that out of everyone on the team, it's his headspace that we quite literally get to go into. You KNOW that if this was any other media it'd be going into Rocket or Groot's head and likely treated as a joke.)
And oh my god, Gamora...
I find it so extremely refreshing that her role in the plot doesn't revolve purely around the men in her life, and instead, it's nearly exclusively her connection with other women. Or in the most direct obstacle she has to deal with, being how she starts projecting to the millionth degree on Nikki's situation for reminding her of what happened to her and Nebula. I find that infinitely more fascinating as a reading of her character rather than just dating drama or her arc getting completely overtaken by a man's instead.
And especially in her friendship with Mantis, who, despite having all these futures she's constantly seeing and having to navigate, still makes time to do her best to help her š„ŗ From saving her life and being the one who put her on the path to healing on Lamentis, to getting her to join the Guardians and still checking in on her when she's able š Friendship between women can be so powerful... u love to see it (š³ļøāš)
I also find it nice that there's this emphasis on her recovering mentally, and the comparison between Thanos essentially teaching her to just Deal with the shit in her life through very simplistic meditation versus the priests of Pama actually teaching her something to help soothe the mind :^( and that she still has moments of relapsing essentially. I find that to be a realistic take on recovery because that's just part of the journey since healing is not linear... and I think it's very sweet that she finds comfort in collecting something ---girly--- like dolls. Love to see a person reclaim a part of their childhood that they weren't allowed to experience. And how she's allowed to make BAD JOKES?? Imagine a woman being written to have multiple dimensions, crazy and absolutely unthinkable, I know.
There's this extremely specific theme in relation to Gamora across media that's been rattling around in my brain since first playing the game. When near the end during the revisit to Knowhere, she's about to completely lose it when Peter tries talking -for- her on what she's so upset about before immediately shooting him down, and she explains what happened between her and Nebula and she starts crying. It really struck me right then that she's never given a moment to cry elsewhere (or in the 616's case, the quite literal inability to.) aside from her shedding a Single Manly Tear (Original Sin) or a single moment out of legit fear (MCU š) because she's a hashtag Strong Independant Woman who can't be vulnerable etc etc. But for her to cry in front of the people she's come to care about, It gives her a moment of true vulnerability that I don't think she's allowed ever in most other media.
That and all of the above hits hard and is what makes me genuinely believe that the writers cared about her in the narrative and tried to do right by her when every other bit of media really hasn't nor cared to the majority of the time since the 90s :'^/ Brings a tear to my eye that she's allowed to just... exist in the narrative on her own merits and not on what she can provide to someone else's story.
#lex thoughts#gotg thoughts#universe: eidos game#gotg2008#sorry for asking for a question then immediately disappearing for a month š I'm on the most stressful roadtrip ever#i š«¶ you for asking about them though the Eidos gotg are my everything and i won't shut up about them if given the chance#very funny to me that all these important moments happen on Knowhere. Strange things can happen at the end of the universe.#The end page of W&tIW 09 is the only other Gamora moment of vulnerability across media that i can specifically pinpoint#But it's more self reflection in a way of a heavily traumatic experience that I don't feel ever truly got resolved within the 616 IMO#And I find it a specific point to be made when Gamora is/isn't allowed to feel or literally denied things that are stereotypically-#-categorized as -feminine- (which is dumb to assign gender roles to a simple human emotion such as CRYING.-#-But you get what I mean I hope) We play fast and loose with gender around here pardner I think all of the gotg should cry more#but in Gamora's case specifically it Hits Different knowing her past and treatment throughout media#i could also heavily go into the way the game adapts Peter's character in relation to his element guns but that's an essay for another time#just because -i- find that extremely fascinating doesn't mean i think he should particularly be the main focus (and he isnt)#bc pete rocket and groot are the ones that already get all the attention (even if i dont agree with how they're written elsewhere)#i just find it more engaging for the other two main characters of the team that always get sidelined by the writers actually being put in-#-the spotlight with equal attention given to them for once to be sooo -shakes fist#sorry for the intense word salad i hope i make sense lol ESSAY/RANT OVER .š¤

i would like to apologize for my notes on your miracle aligner post. youre so real for saying that the principle feature in both the song and mv is the homosexuality and not the coke. alas i am drawn to the coke myself and have thus allowed it to cloud my judgement; hence how i responded in earnest to your jest
YES!!!! REJOICE!!!!!! All is forgiven in the beauty that is miles and alex and their combined genius. itās striking the way al offers a somewhat unlikely interpretation as an explanation of this songās lyrics, and their precise rehearsal to reenact those said lyrics in such a complex and intense way. rose petals ?? an attempt to extract the truth?? crashing down intimately in the company of none other than each otherās arms at the very endā¦ doesnāt SOUND very ā¦. dealer-ish to me. sounds more of a very complicated and alive romance. BUT!!!!! tis only but a theory on my part. i have no evidence of complete confirmation and thus fend off of my own derangement for this hypothesis. it can be whatever they say it is. it can be nothing they say it is. one can only have hopes and dreams. one can only believe in a physically- transcending love and devotion. one can choose passion and love over a quick fix.

#tlsp#ILY DEAR ASKER. I can see how itās a little selfish to believe what i want to#but thinking about the entertwinedness (hope i spelled that right. i got to take a na.p) of their lyrics and all those hidden meanings#behind the fast simple glaze of some words#it leads me to think this song is much more than it seems#full of fast cover ups#but thatās just what i CHOOSE to believe#nothing is absolute with them so who knows#donāt mean any pushyness or anything like that#iām just crazy about these ideas and feel the need to share them#and i like being silly about this stuff bc that mv was just. SO much to handle for me#too much honestly#itās impactful to the point of poetry in my mind and a level of beauty that it still takes time for me to comprehend#never take any of my short posts too seriously. i am seriously cray cray#HOPEFULLY I cleared that up . sorry if i donāt make sense. i just think about this stuff 24/7#theyāre an awful plague in my mind. i apologize for my condition š«¶š«¶
