Okay but, if Byler isn't canon, we can definitely say it's queerbait
They will try to say it's not, that it's a beautiful story about a boy learning to love himself and accept himself, despite being in love with his best friend at a time that is wrong. But it's not that, it's queerbait, even if one is canonically queer
Everything inside the show points to them being canon in a narrative sense, and there's interviews, tweets, likes on Instagram and Pinterest, songs on Spotify playlists, that tells us it's leading to Byler
Do not let anyone tell us it was still a beautiful story, that it was obvious it wasn't meant to happen and that we are delusional. Especially when we have people that work for the show making cheeky references to it
#how are y'all posting blue and yellow hearts to not make them canon#how are saving byler fanart on Pinterest to not make them canon#how are y'all posting byler edits to not make them canon#if they aren't canon its just plain queerbait it's textbook queerbait stuff#they are using this queer ship that everyone loves and that makes sense to gain more attention and traction and to go on trending#lgbtq+#queerbaiting#stranger things#byler#will byers#mike wheeler#stranger things analysis#byler is endgame#stranger things season 5#stranger things s5#byler analysis#st5

thinking about all those years ivan spent learning about boundaries and how to maintain healthy relationships but then throwing that away (and, subsequently, his relationship with till) during round 6 by initiating that kiss
comic translations by @/whatafruit on twitter x (except for the last two, those are mine)
#my ramblings#ivan is an incredibly dedicated person#his schedule is noted by the hour and his image is portrayed as a respectful pet human who is intelligent and charming#he never asked for anything. he never acted out. he learned how to smile by practicing with his reflection in the water#he painstakingly crafted this image of himself outside of anakt garden and managed to elevate himself as a business partner of sorts#but while he was in anakt garden he was… imperfect#he constantly bugged till as a way to gain his attention and he annoyed the hell out of sua in an attempt to relate to her#then he learned about boundaries and restraint. he began to hide his affection under side glances and gentle touches#he took off till’s collar and wiped away his tears. but only in secret. only when no one was watching#but he never breached till’s boundaries until round 6. the kiss was as good as waving a white flag.#it signified the death of their relationship as ivan finally released his sculpted image#he essentially chooses to kill their relationship all on his own before his death#sorry. my ivan brainrot is back in full force after he showed up in r7 for like 30 seconds#alien stage#alnst ivan#ivantill

Randomly thinking about how jk Rowling coded it in to the HP universe that the stairs to the girls dorms had a spell to keep boys out but not the inverse. Even having a character explain to Ron that its because the founders viewed boys as less trustworthy.
In retrospect given that it really shouldn't have been a surprise when she harpooned on about "men in dresses trying to invade women's spaces". She clearly sees sexual deviancy as a distinctly male trait.
#jk rowling#fuck jkr#harry potter#androphobia#transphoba#if you can't see the obvious line between how she views boys in the hp universe#and how she view people with a y chromosome in real life:#you aren't paying attention#misandry#mens rights#feminism#this is why i hate rad fems#like#ok#sure#this is just a throw away bit of the universe lore#it doesn't necessary follow that the author has x view#but it gains a new tinge in the context of everything else.

picturing Velvette huddled up on a Hell doorstep 2 hours after she arrived making a list of possible ways to get some power as quickly as possible on a bloodstained cellphone she took off a corpse and it's like
create startup, get aqui-hired
become first hellfluencer
sugar daddy?
startup + collab with a celebrity for more attention
celebrity boyfriend?
become already powerful couple's third, profit
actually find people to work with who respect and value my skills and me as a person <- this one is a joke
and then a year later she's in bed, awake after vox and val have nodded off for once, looking at mockups of the Vee tower design on her phone, and brings up the old list for just a minute to cross everything else out and write in 'all of the above???'
#YES IT'S BEING SAPPY ABOUT VELVETTE AND POLYVEES HOURS#in my headcanon she crashlanded in Hell juuuuust after the extermination happened and/or during the tail end of it#and it was both a curse and a blessing in clawing together her first tiny power base#because there's a lot up for grabs! but it's basically like being hired in retail during holiday season#but that's one of the reasons that usually hanging out during exterminations is one of her favorite activities#it's a potent reminder of how much power and safety she's gained#anyway i just love how Velvette is so 110% for her boys and their mutual brand the fact she has a#'<3' i.e 'V3' phone case kills me among other things#to me she seems like someone who dealt with being unappreciated her whole life so being part of this#powerful flashy exciting thing she shaped and getting attention not only online but from her clearly appreciative#*carmilla carmine voice* colleagues#hits her hard. ok i need to shut up and make velvette psychology/past headcanons a different post sometime#hazbin velvette#hazbin hotel velvette#poly vees#polyvees#polyamorvee#happy days in hell (hazbin tag)

incredibly weird episode that to my surprise has knocked out "boom" as my favorite of the season so far. some very scattered thoughts below:
"hey what if we had another dr-lite episode? what if sally sparrow was a supercilious spoiled brat?" - writer of this episode, probably
what LAYERS this ended up having. walked into it expecting a thinly veiled metaphor for "kids these days and their devices," ended up with a thinly veiled metaphor for "everyone these days and their devices and the echo-chamber bubbles they create for themselves that blind them to the real world injustices (and killer slugs) and enforce an artificial homogeneity."
from the start i clocked how White everyone in finetime seemed to be but at first i just brushed it off as the bbc making poor casting choices. then came the loaded statement of "don't worry, he's not as stupid as he looks." and then and then and then. did not expect that to be a plot point but my god. a busload of rich kids in the prime of youth lobbed at an "untamed" land to send resources back home? very uh, colonizer indeed (albeit an interestingly imperfect metaphor for colonization, leaving out those from less-wealthy backgrounds who seized the apparent opportunity colonization offered them to seize and claim land and status for their own)
how many times this season has the "villain" turned out to be "ai/computer/device that is supposed to help you now turning against you"? space babies, boom, dot and bubble makes 3/5 so far? not sure if this is meant to be a Thread. stretching it more broadly to "someone/something you trust turning against you" this encompasses 73 yards too (the way everyone turns away from Ruby after the old woman following her speaks!). that said the devil's chord bucks this pattern so i might just be reaching.
i can't make heads nor tails of ricky september but it was wildly amusing how he seemed to almost show up out of a different genre. the presumably heroic pop star who's Not Like The Rest Of The Milieu -- he turns off his dot! he reads in his apartment! he's different and flouts rules in a way that makes him more desirable -- not different in the way that makes the people of finetime look down on the doctor. and oh, swoon, he tries to protect lindy from the ugly truth of everyone on homeworld being dead, oh, he tries to protect lindy from dot until lindy throws him to the metaphorical wolves. because if you are lindy pepper-bean, if you think you are better, most worthy of being saved -- of course you would, even to someone as within the norm as you.
the fact that the doctor couldn't even get INTO finetime -- i have to wonder, is it that the technology protecting finetime from the outside is SO adept at its inbaked racism it could even keep the tardis out? horrifying!
throughout the episode i was also wondering at how mystifyingly patient the doctor was being with these people. by twenty minutes in i was waiting for him to chew lindy out for being so stupid, so narrow-minded, so resistant to self reliance. we've seen the doctor do this before -- it's not the first time they've tried to save someone utterly intentionally inept or someone hostile to them, it's not the first time he would have yelled at a human for being a "stupid ape!". but i wonder now, with all these pieces in mind -- did the doctor realize from the start that finetime was biased against him? was he playing that deferential balancing act marginalized people often feel they have to resort to in an environment dead set against them? listen to me right now, I'm not a threat to you or your view of the world. i just need you to listen to me right now.
and of course the doctor keeps on trying to save them because the doctor always has hope that people can change, even the most awful ones. it could have been possible for even some of the people of finetime to recognize the cruelty of the sort of society they'd built, the biases that have been entrenched in them. it's possible for all of us to realize these things. but finetime says no. finetime says, thanks for saving us. finetime says, that was your duty. and finetime says, fuck you.
#edit: i just realized rtd is the writer of this ep. sorry I never pay attention to the title card im too busy vibing to the dw theme#i just wanna know how and why dot gained awareness and decided to kill off everyone in finetime#but real interesting ideas in this episode#doctor who#dw spoilers#a very kind smile#i spy an original post

Yes that's Shakespeare please leave me alone
#OKAY SO kitty and puss are both on there bc kitty heavily inspired her character traits and attitude#but puss inspired this identity crisis she has that i jave literally never talked about .... it's new since I'm remaking her lore GRRRR#but erm yeah she 100 percent had flamboyant and big heists n stuff to gain attention and validation from the kingdom she used to live in#on hwr home planet.... there's a kingdok there btw#and ofc she's wanted dead or alive by the royal army#BUT ANYWAY she uses that thrill of getting attention and stuff to compensate for how little she thinks of herself yay!!!!!!!!#The whole “If I'm not the fearless legend they see me as then what good am i?” thing going on with Puss is almost exactly like how Elora is#except she does NOT ❌🙅♀️ call herself a hero#so she has a tendency to push others away due to the fear that they'll see how she actually is BUT OF COURSE wanded and sylvia change that#WOW we got a yapper over here!!!!!!!#do NOT let her listen to Remember My Name by Mitski bro she'll drop to her knees and sob#um#and rouge and rarity inspired her sassiness and dramatics :3c

people comment on running blind like "i know this fic is five years old but-" dude im still fully here. i worked on taking shots TODAY. truly "sometimes i can still hear his voice" like cmon next youre gonna tell me tf2 is an old game
#do people see the post date on that fic and assume im Dead like whats happening hello can anyone hear me#its extremely extremely weird to me that anyone who got into tf2 in the last four years got here after i made that fic but also#guys please i never left. we're all still here. i feel like the fanfiction equivalent of that 'wait 10 years' stanley parable achievement#fully not kidding the day that i entirely give up on taking shots is the day they find me dead im gonna write this until im 90 i s2g#i feel like theres a wildly inflated idea of how much clout and attention ive gained from writing a fanfiction that was well recieved#i wont believe that im like a beloved and renown member of the fan community until valve emails me a thumbs up emoji#shut up me

I'm actually rather surprised that not a single one of the boys made top three. but then again, I suppose the large number of straight men that play this game are not as visible in fan spaces as us lgbt. That is...a fortunate thing, though, I'd argue.
#bg3#thoughts about media#with how much you see of a certain little elf- I figured he'd make the top three. but I see I figured wrong!#the top classes do not surprise me at all.#I take great interest in strategy when it comes to dbd. so I pay the same attention to strategy in bg3.#the top three classes are some of the best classes to choose for combat.#theeeen the choices stray back into RP territory.#rogue has it's uses...but less so than warlock I'd argue.#I'd say wizard and cleric are stronger than rogue too.#hell. I multiclass star into wizard once he's gotten his lvl 3 thief perks. in part for tav lore reasons. in part to maximise his strengths#stealth just isn't consistent enough in this game to pay off. in my opinion.#like the best classes I'd say are sorcerer / paladin / bard / warlock.#fighter is good for multiclassing to gain action surge. and multiclassing into war/tempest cleric can be useful too.#but fully levelling either seems pointless imo.#the race choices are 100% because of RP reasons. the stats do not whatsoever show any influence from min/maxing stats and abilities.#if that were the case. half-orc would be the top. halfing. and drow. I think duegar is good too?#tiefling being up there isn't actually TOO bad either. they are decent for mage classes.#CANNOT believe evoker wizard is the most popular though. other subclasses have better perks imo.#I also think thief is the best subclass of rogue. extra bonus action? and falling damage reduction/cannot fall prone from falling? SO good.#also my sincere congrats to the 464 maniacs who've already destroyed honour mode. you people are bananas.

Remus? Having a mullet? Nah, at most he'd have a crew cut. Very generic, clean, basic.
#remus lupin#hot take#but not really cuz it's facts#uwu#the mans does NOT wanna stand out#how would he ever choose a mullet?#that is literally not his vibe#remus is a basic beech#(which isn't a bad thing)#in fact#it's safer for him to not want attention#he'd be a nervous wreck if he gained too much eyes on him#the man wanted to live incognito#also rip piercings?#tattoos?#not for him XD#all this is opinions based on what we know of the real remus#ignore me if this is not your vibe

There is something to be said for the period in early season 3 that Don E is working for Angus and becomes more and more disillusioned because Angus (surprise, surprise) treats him with extreme condescension, bosses him around, insults him etc. and favours another lackey (Dino) over him. But the irony is, the way Angus treats Don E in those episodes is not so different from the way we see Blaine treat most of his employees.
It's just that with Blaine, Don E is the exception to this treatment because he's his special little guy who gets away with treason and gets included in his plans etc. But here he is getting treated like the others.
#I do think this plays an underrated role in their reconciliation.#izombie#don e#blaine debeers#fandom#like. so much of Blaine's deal is that he will do anything and commit any atrocity to gain money or power or any advantage at all#but he never wants to be judged for it or have it negatively affect how people see him. And perhaps that is the closest thing he has to a#conscience or perhaps it's just his arrogance and laziness or perhaps it's some of his childhood issues with Bader who knows#but either way Don E is the person who gives him that the most. The guy literally thought the 'turn the world zombie' plan was a good idea#and with Don E's abandonment issues and 'my twin brother was a super genius' issues getting attention like that from someone like Blaine...#that's quite the fire-gasoline combination

Well…I think it won’t do any harm to post this here. I thought that one my avatar is not good enough so I decided to draw something new, so here it is, little chibi (?) bear Ivan.
It looks so clean in comparison with my usual drawings :’)
#hetalia#aph#hws#hetalia russia#aph russia#hws russia#well I just can’t stop gaining myself new hobbies so I just trying to start streaming kinda#some vtubing stuff..#so yeah this is what it’s for#I know that maybe it’s not good to make bear Ivan my avatar but this is just how I feel#and it makes me feel more comfortable less nervous I think#…don’t pay attention

have you ever considered that jade's hot
all of the hsr women are hot, man. this is a hoyoverse game. of course they are. what does this have to do with a discussion about her character
#i reallyyyyyyy don't care if you think she's hot or even if you like her and she's your fave or whatever#that's not... what the point of my post was. judging by a few other asks in here i see some decided to take it as a cancellation post (??)#i'm not Cancelling jade i actually think her presence in the story is incredibly interesting and surprise! i'm really enjoying her writing.#she's awful and i want to hit her with a blunt heavy object and i want to know what she gains from her pawnshop hobby#how do intangible things like memories and someone's ability to form personal relationships benefit her?#the pepeshi pawning off his fortune is whatever like ok. money.#but the other two customers firefly talked to... that's what has my attention#i just think it's stupid to call yourself a fan of a character and then go and say shit like 'they did nothing wrong!!!!!!!!!'#if you're going to like her grow up and admit that she fucking sucks#another point of that post was to point out some elements in the story that are being overlooked by a lot of people#ie the ipc being an allegory for real life capitalism and white supremacy#mailbox#i love how hsr handles its cast. even jade who i hate. the writing in this game isn't perfect but damn when it hits it HITS

misc lore drop day 11/?
I said it in yesterday's but now I'm pondering about it more deeply. Thinking about how I said Seb would let Fernando win at random things. I guess actually it's not that he's letting him, more that he's not as upset to lose, or rather, playing a different game entirely. It's mostly because during their early relationship, that was like, the only way for Seb to witness him happy, or more accurately, without his barriers up. I think winning is the most important thing ever to both of them, above anything, and at everything. But I guess Fernando finds it a bit more dire? Like he'll prove his self worth, even if it's just a game of cards.
It's not that Seb isn't as petty or competitve, but rather that he learns he can win "more" in some cases by losing. He is willing to concede sometimes because sometimes losing means that he wins something more valuable, such as Fernando's affection or happiness. Maybe in the beginning, he was just as agressively competitve, but then noticed that every time he lost, Fernando would suddenly chill out a lot more. So on some level, even if they're just playing cards or something, Seb is playing a completely different game.
I think a lot about that one duo interview with them, where they had to compliment each other, and Seb was so quick and honest with it, but Fernando struggled and came off sounding a bit fake. At any time, they are, both consiously and subconsiously, playing that mind game with each other. If I let him win, what does that say about me. What does how I act after winning say about me.
If this makes any sense at all LOL
#the secondary game seb is playing is basically: how can I make Fernando be affectionate with me#like yes i care very deeply abt this game of cards but i can set that aside if it means he'll stop being a downer#meanwhile fernando's is him trying to have the utmost poker face but then finally wins at something and cant help but be cheerful#maybe eventually they both start playing the affection game#and the actual game goes on forever and ever bcs neither will let the other lose sakdjfkj#i hope though this makes sense that they're both thinking very deeply??? and both are egotists????#seb is nice already most of the time to nando so nando doesnt need to try and win that over so he focuses more on his own gains#whereas seb has won a lot and the thing hes now focused on is winning nando's attention#again. he like fernando exactly bcs of that. bcs hes not somethign that has been freely given but smth that needs to be earned#catie.rambling.txt#lore a day#boy king au

“Slut your wrists! Kill yourself! then you post a selfie saying “Don’t want to smile feel weird about it” as a desperate attempt to get compliments. You’re in your mid twenties doing all this😭 Grow up you’re not a teenager anymore. 30 is closer than ever and you’re breaking down because someone asked if you cry a lot? Someone mentions your jowls and you freak out. You tell them to kill themselves. People your age are Mothers. You might not have any but act your age. Geez.
my dick must taste fantastic for how far you're throating it
#I'm not doing it for attention <3 i literally am just talking and expressing myself <3 my therapist said i can say kill yourself <3#and if you could read which clearly you can't you would know that they didn't say it to be nice or anything they wanted to hurt my feelings#sorry I'm human and get hurt because i don't like how i look sometimes that's 100% okay dumbass#and you must think I'm stupid to live in utah and not know people are mothers do you think Im oblivious and don't already feel awful#what have you gained from this cause i don't really care what you think i don't care what anyone really thinks I'm not doing anything for#attention i am just using this as my diary and i post a silly lil selfie when i go to therapy but clearly you don't know that#i literally am around children all day i know what is like to be a mom what do you know tho?#i actually REALLY hate when people compliment me when I'm just saying i don't like something is really annoying I'm just being polite#but you think you know everything and love to ride my dick so#anyway have a great day even tho you're really pathetic and i should know cause I'm also really pathetic#also can't spell 🫵 think you said something important 🫵
