[chilope]

im trying to decide how long i need to wait for my shitty coworker to do the one (1) thing i asked him to before i go absolutely sicko mode

[msmargaretmurry]

I feel less bad than I should but I laughed after last night's Sharks vs Oilers disaster. But also someone please comfort Leon. He needs it. (Talking to you, Matthew, you see each other in just over a week.)

wow how convenient that leon needs comforting right when he's about to be in florida! how serendipitous! i love when the narratives tee one up for us like this. hope they have some tendernasty sex about it.

and don't feel bad, i also laughed. but also i don't root for the oilers, lol (sorry to my oilers fan friends and followers. i respect your choices, but i did my time in the oilers trenches a decade ago and emerged deeply embittered.) like i feel very bad for all the players on that team that i like! i don't WANT connor and leon's entire careers to feel squandered! but a friend and i DID post up on my couch at 10:30 p.m. EST last night with a bottle of cava and a huge bag of potato chips and had the time of our lives watching that trainwreck. (also, i have several extremely lovely sharks fan friends, and they deserved that win so bad. i am so happy for them and their two whole wins.)

So if there was a bro-off of some type between Sam/Jamie and Colin/Isaac and Beard/Ted, who would come out on top as #1 bros? I feel like Jamie and Isaac and Beard as the dark horse in particular would be down fight over who “wins” at being friends, Sam and Colin and Ted are coming along on this ride whether they want to or not.

Jamie and Beard would absolutely get into the whole ‘who’s the bestest best friend’, but to be honest I’m not fully convinced it’d be Isaac rather than Colin in that race… Though to be fair, I’m not fully convinced either Isaac OR Colin would be too bothered about it. Jamie and Beard now… ah, that could get rough! That could get ugly! Proper war like, all dirty tricks and such, while sweet sunshine beams Ted and Sam look on in bemused concern. (Sam: Should we intervene, Coach? Ted: Nah. It’ll be worse if we try to stop them.)

What does a bro-off entail, anyway? Are there that type of games when you are supposed to answer questions about each other correctly? Maybe guess each others’ calves from a bunch of other guys' calves? Lots of coordination and cooperation tests, like running around with your leg tied to your bro's leg? Oh, God, they’d stage a bloody Olympiad, wouldn’t they? Several different games, everyone’s invited to participate although Jamie and Beard both knows it’s all about them – only in the end the prize goes to Jan Maas and Dani or some such. Jamie and Beard are outraged and humiliated and need to go drown their sorrows together and maybe play some board games. (Ted and Sam try to join but are not allowed to, due to accusations of them not actually doing their best in the competitions.)

For real, though? Ted and Beard has this. Bros to outlast all bros. I mean, give the others a decade or two to grow into it, they might be able to compete, but for now? Bearded Ted has it all day, every day, until Judgement Day.

Sorry, Jamie. Go cry to Roy about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

KOFtober Day 1

Favorite Canon Team: Team Yagami

(Team Outlaw is a close second)

[optiwashere]

Needed to lay down and try to sleep for longer than an hour today, and in doing so I blearily looked at general fandom tags because I wanted to see silly fanart.

Instead I got hit full-force with reality of so much drama over the wildest little shit. I've been cursed with sight.

I have also never been happier to stay in my own bubble away from... all of that.

All that to say, I'm keeping this blog free of more stuff like this but holy fuck it hit me like a freight train. All this drama exhausts me and I don't know how anyone keeps up with it. I prefer to think of this place as the equivalent of a cabin in the woods, one where I emerge every few days with a few thousand words for people to devour with their eyes.

[an-ruraiocht]

i've hit an absolute wall of fatigue and i need to not be doing things but my train isn't for another 2h45 which is so long that I feel I should Do Things, there were things I had considered doing today but had initially tabled because I thought my train was an hour earlier than it is. but if I do them I think I'll crash even harder.

and i *can* actually get the train an hour earlier because I have a flexible ticket. but I have seat reservations on the other train and that makes it less stressful as a concept.

I JUST REALIZED THAT YOU WATCHED THE OFMD FINALE

H-

How are you feeling 🥲🥲🥲

Pahaha not swimmingly, I'll just say. First I have been doing a bit of the ol' menstruating which means everything is immediately more extreme lol. I've been very conflicted and I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about *THE THING* especially, but this is where I stand right here right now at like 11PM lmao

Under the cut cos this ended up being exponentially longer than I thought it could ever be sorry

Overall I've loved season 2!! It has been so much fun to interact with the community and convert everyone to the Izzy hands cult engage with the fandom week by week. We've had some incredibly beautiful high moments and some lovely refreshing queer joy. I adore the new characters and the developments of our existing ones. I know my negative thoughts here are much more substantial than my positives but this doesn't mean I didn't like it!! I just don't feel the need to describe the positives because I feel like they're pretty obvious and universally recognised, agreed upon and beloved, y'know? (if you want a purely positive thoughts autistic happy flappy hands rant™, i can oblige dw)

Izzy's death is not the only reason I have mixed feelings on the finale. Obviously the episode cuts were a result of HBO'S meddling and isn't the fault of the crew, but the pacing still felt off and everything that happened just kinda washed over me like white noise (haha will wo-). The loose ends were tied up in wholesome ways and if we don't get a season 3 this would be a mostly decent way to end our characters' journeys, if a bit rushed. But then...

Izzy's death. A lot of people feel very very betrayed and hurt by Izzy being killed off, some people don't feel the comfort they used to from this show because of it and no longer want to engage. I don't wanna discount these people's views, more power to them; I cannot stop them from feeling what they feel and doing what they choose. I haven't given up hope on this show but Izzy's death just felt pretty unsatisfying to me?? Putting my bias towards him aside, I get the "killing off mentor at end of second act" trope but I just feel and wish way more could've been done with Izzy. I wanted to see more of him being happy and secure in himself and his found family and his queerness and his disability!! But now I don't get that and it very much stings. I think I could've come to terms more with his death if there had been more time to dwell on it all and get to see the individual characters mourn, but again episode cuts, thanks HBO!! /s. And I know they had the funeral but it still feels like we didn't really get a chance to mourn or treat Izzy's death with the weight it warranted. And I am far too tired especially right now to engage in "is this/is this not bury your gays/disabled character" but I will say I've seen pretty compelling arguments on both sides. As an able-bodied disabled person I don't feel it's fully my place to dictate, but I am upset Izzy was killed right after some big moments in his healing process and being a disabled person and in general just enjoying his life.

Personally I'm not giving up on the show as a whole because the finale left a sour taste in my mouth. I still very much like this show and I'm willing to stick around for a potential season 3 and on future rewatches I'll be able to see the stuff I loved separate from the stuff I didn't. But since looking back now, the latter is most recent, it kind of casts an unpleasant shadow on a very enjoyable season of television.

RIP Izzy Hands you deserved better sweetie, you would've loved Drag Race. And also shoutout to Con O'Neill for a fucking phenomenal performance last season, but especially this one. Izzy was absolutely iconic and a fan favourite for a very good reason, even if imo the writers did him dirty. He was hilarious and a petty little bitch man but then deeply broken and compelling and a genuinely beautiful character with a beautiful journey despite an unfortunate and unjust end?? He slayed.

Wow this was a lot!! Sorry if you were expecting silly goofiness lmfao I got very analysi-ish and a bit melancholic. Thank you so much for the ask JJ, it was a good opportunity to try and express all my thoughts and squish them into something cohesive for both you and me. (And thanks to my friend who I was discussing this with earlier; they helped me get a new perspective by sharing some of his thoughts. Dude, if you're reading this you know who you are, thanks a bunch!!!!)

[yuukei-yikes]

I do care what r the birth year headcanons 👀 👁

HELP i cant believe i got asked. its rly simple cuz since kagepro "started" in 2011 but sorta peaked in 2013, i imagine 2011 as the shit goes down year (ayano dies year) and 2013 as the 2 year into the present window. if that makes sense.

as in, in 2013 shintaro would be 18. the dan dies over and over in the year 2013. imagine being stuck in a 2013 timeloop. that would drive anyone crazy

but anyway that'd make shintaro and ayano from 1995, mekatrio (AND mary bc marys age thing is stupid) from 1996, momo from 1997, hibiya and hiyori from 2001. oh and haruka and takane from 1994. thatd make them thirty next year if u think abt it. isnt that crazy. anyways im totally like, a normal person. hey when did you go away. been talking to myself the whole time? okay
