OH!!! OH!!!

DO YOU SEE THIS??

DO YOU SEE IT??

SHE'S TOUCHING HIS SHOULDER!!

Oh mah gawd. He doesn't let anyone touch him unless they're his friends.

If they aren't his friends, he'll either lean away or wipe off his hand. He hates being touched if he's not the one initiating it, to the point of wiping his sleeve off when Lucifer's hat just BARELY grazed against it.

He didn't wipe his shoulder off when Charlie stopped touching him either.

AND!!!

And!!!

Before You Say 'He did lean away', or 'She wasnt actually touching him, her hand was just near him', Take A Look At This!!

Look closely at how he moves when she splits them up. He doesn't lean away, she SHOVED him. She actively MOVED him. That wasn't an 'oh she's making contact with me, guess I should lean away', it was a 'well she's shoving me now, I'll shut up for a minute'.

Which also proves she WAS touching him. She couldn't have shoved him if she wasn't making contact.

He didn't lean away from it, he didn't retaliate. The ONLY people he lets touch him are people he cares for. And not only did she put her hand on his shoulder, she actively pushed him back, and he showed no sign of discomfort towards it. So why am I screaming about this?

Because he DOES care! It proves he cares for her. Don't get me wrong, I still think saying he's her 'dad' is a bit of a strech, but he does care enough to let her touch him. He doesn't dislike or even have a neutral opinion on her. She's his friend, even if just a little bit.

Just an edit to clarify; I know 'friends' is probably also not the best word to use, but it's just the easiest way for me to describe it.

So, in honour of finding a whole bunch of people who understand how appalling it is to use 'punah' in a sentence, I thought I'd open up membership of the ASAAD Brigade (A South Asian Armand Defence Brigage) to people beyond @quark4561.

We've been DMing nonstop about our headcanons and AUs and theories, and there are also long reply threads in the comments to various posts we've made. I might try to consolidate everything at some point, and add it to this post.

But till then, hi @rhaenyra-first-of-her-name @claudia-de-lioncourt @antiquititties @hozierplaying @shesgayfolks!

(And anyone else who feels like commenting! Like I said in a reply, a lot of us are just stealthing along armanding until its time to don our arun hats to play detective.)

To stick to the theme of beautiful gay Assad in period clothes being underserved by white showmakers, here's a supercut of all his scenes in what I have been told is a terrible British drama called Hotel Portofino. Where he is a Bengali named Anish Sengupta, whom everyone inexplicably calls 'Nish'. Yes, with the chhoti 'ee' ki maatra. Every white person needs to understand that vowels actually are precise in other languages. Enjoi.

After my last post about the Screen Rant response to Jenny Nicholson's Galactic Starcruiser video, it was pointed out to me that Gizmodo's I09 division also put out an article defending Starcruiser. I'm not going to spend as long analyzing this one.

It's the usual you've already heard: people were confused that it wasn't just a hotel, how you had to put effort into it to get results back, that the staff and Imagineers worked real hard on it, there were people who liked it.

It's all the same defenses that clearly are hoping that you haven't watched the video, and probably they haven't either. Since, you know, the video basically dismantles all of those arguments one by one.

I will say it also attempts a slightly bafflingly progressive take on it, like saying stuff like:

"To many Star Wars fans who were able to check out Galactic Starcruiser during its short-lived existence, the attraction presented a chance to act on the frustration many share in their day to day lives of watching atrocities happen and feeling like there’s little we can do about them."

Which is pretty gross, right? Comparing 'going to a hotel on vacation' with 'fighting the good fight against the bad shit in the world'. I mean, especially when you consider one of the paths is joining with the fascists? Also it's owned by a billion-dollar corporation? Which even the article briefly points out...which is the point the article writer should of rethought their stance.

Now, more importantly, looking at the articles from Screen Rant and Gizmodo and I'm sure there's others, I'm sure people are wondering/thinking that Disney had a hand in this. And to be honest...

No, probably not. Well, not directly, at least.

Rather, these websites require access. Access to press releases, access to interviews, access to special events. So writing a puff piece defending Galactic Star Cruiser is a pretty safe bet to do, especially if you suspect that Disney is planning to still do something with the GSC. As has been pointed out, the building still remains intact, and a lot of the signage in the parks is still there. So if they reopen it as, say, a dining experience, then the website who wrote a puff piece defending the honor of the Halcyon is much more likely to be invited to opening night than Jenny Nicholson is.

Additionally, these days websites such as Screen Rant pay like crap, to the point where the only people willing to work on them are the true believers. It's like how game developers are some of the worst paid and most overworked dev teams, because the industry knows they can get true believers who want to Design Video Games in the doors.

So no, I doubt Disney is directly in anyone's ear about this. But rather, it's websites taking advantage of the situation to try and get into Daddy Disney's good graces. There are always useful idiots.

IT’S SO FUCKING OVER GUYS

[crispyliza]

I hadn't been part of a big fandom in a minute so I had forgotten how annoying it is. In tiktok videos featuring Valentino there are comments that are complimenting his design, his voice, his style etc and all the replies are shit like "i can't believe you like a rapist", "couldn't be me", "you must be a horrible person" etc.

Like, he has a voice actor??? Saying you like his voice is perfectly normal???

And he has a cool ass design, what with the cape that's actually his wings and shit. He is, before everything else, a fucking drawing.

Even his personality and his actions! He is a CHARACTER. Someone created it him to be like that!!! He is a good complex character!!!!!

Saying you like any of the above doesn't mean you condone sexual abuse for fucks sake!

Also on the topic of shipping him with Angel Dust, many are saying it's wrong and unforgivable bc it's a victim and his abuser. And that's like, the whole point????

It's like how some people like horror movies. The fucked up aspect of their relationship is what's appealing.

Explore the dynamics of a toxic abusive relationship is interesting and these are imaginary characters that don't exist!!!!! Not that different from watching the Saw movies!!!

I wish everyone on tiktok and twitter would chill

I hate to tag yall again, happy pride month-if you’re able to share this and interact in any way to the videos and posts above, that would mean a lot. Or even drop a dollar, it would do wonders to help me extend my hotel stay past Monday.
