#i could’ve probably done better

[mxviko]

It’s a bit simple but i like it enough and I hope you do to. Excuse the shitty handwriting in some places

Based on this post I did a bit ago

(reference credit to @abbystanaccount. saw it on twitter and felt the immense urge to draw it.)

Forget haircuts or tearing out my nails. I'd cut off my pinky, as proof my love won't change.

I talked before about potential reasons behind fighting and the difference in the ways they ‘Stay cool’, which will be linked here. But there’s something else I’ve noticed and I’m wondering if anyone else picked up on this…

The two who don’t like and want put an end to the fighting are socs.

Now one could argue that the greasers don’t want to fight all their lives either but that’s getting into semantics and a whole other topic. I’ll be touching on soon.

I am not saying either Cherry or Randy are wrong for having this opinion or invalid, both have very personal reasoning. Cherry knowing how her boyfriend was and just not understanding violence and Randy seeing the outcome of it being his best friend’s death. But there’s such a clear distinction to it, a luxury in being able step away and see the pain it’s caused and stop.

Soc’s can afford to stop fighting, for them life just goes on as usual. There was never a real reason for them to fight besides asserting power or some bid to feel something (something can be said about being rich and having everything, feeling little leads to ramping up and ramping up- danger, violence, wild stuff etc.)

Soc’s fighting is like everything they do, clout, power, and being part of a whole… except there’s no closeness. There’s no bond and loyalty like what the Greasers have— friendships are thin and if you don’t go along with the pack you might as well… well, leave.

On the other side of the tracks you don’t get that choice; even if you don’t like to fight you will all your life. The bank, the cops, the soc’s, other greasers— whoever, whatever. Theres no easy exit, what money? Where would you go- would you even be welcome?

“Years of living on the east side teaches you how to shut off your emotions if you didn’t, you would explode. You learn to cool it.” (122)

Both groups learn to shut themselves off. Greasers are more selective; they tend to blow more often. Soc’s shut down almost completely and if they do break— it’s not around anyone they know (how Cherry and Randy let the mask slip to Pony).

Now, the struggles soc’s face shouldn’t be directly compared to Greasers — fake friends and social expectations vs the effects of poverty aren’t exactly the same level or a comparable thing. But the point isn’t comparison! It’s humanizing the “other side”. Realizing that how it may not look like it, Greasers and soc’s suffer under the same systems.

“Things were rough all over, but it was better that way. That way you could tell the other guy was human too.” (118)

Both sides tend to be individualistic, Greasers tend to look at it more on a personal level fight between gangs or groups- where as Soc’s will see things personally in a “all about me” manner. Focus on the self rather than the group, how you hurt, you feel— upset you can’t talk to anyone but never trying etc.

Cherry and Randy actively see and hate the system, explaining as much to pony. They want out rather than stopping cycles — which, is human and understandable as in all likelihood they couldn’t do a thing to stop in. Nobody can as much as they wish, that’s part of the point.

This is more a mini exploration of the broader, underlying reasons and not necessarily a concise, surface level thing. For individuals it all depends- everyone has their own reasons.

It is interesting to notice how traits are both shared but then come through in completely different forms (being ‘cool’, individualistic, etc.) how at the end of the day people aren’t too dissimilar, things are rough — you heard it a thousand times by now.

Holt’s vision was basically the first thing to go as she became infected with the corruption happening in Sierpinski-23 and it absolutely wrecks me

[melrosing]

I'm just a lurker in the fandom who occasionally comes to your blog to read your Jaime posts, but as someone whose mom died eleven years ago, I can tell you it does get better eventually. It just takes forever.

aw thank you so much and I’m so sorry about your mum. I’m still kind of in disbelief?? like what the fuck he fully died?? sounds fake. but once the funeral is done maybe I’ll start moving along idk. either way thank you so much for your message, I really don’t want it to hurt this bad forever so that is genuinely reassuring 🥲

… weird lookin’ lamp. It’s probably nothing to worry about, though.

I like how I drew her face

[juniperhillpatient]

I was such a coward for not getting into the whole “keeping a list of victim names & ripping people apart then putting them back together again” ripper aspect of Zuko in my atla tvd au tbh. don’t get me wrong I like atla tvd au but like…. there’s a lot I could’ve done better in retrospect

i feel like with the way they set up the state of the jamie roy keeley situation at the beginning of this last episode, the Only satisfying way for it to end would’ve been in an ot3

This is going to be a bit long so get ready:

Okay so, I’m not someone that cares too much about Izzy dying, I mean I do, but like, he was a great character and all and his arc was great but he wasnt one of my favourites. But I am a little disappointed with the fact that he died after seeing what other people have said about it.

The guy had a lot more he could’ve done in this show, idk what but he had potential to do more in later seasons. But I personally didn’t think that his death was unnecessary, I was talking with my mum about it and she said that she saw it coming, I didn’t see it coming but I knew if any of them were going to die it would be Izzy, as none of the background characters had ‘I’m going to be killed off by the end of the show’ energy.

I’ve seen some people talking about this and I’ve seen them say that they’re leaving the fandom over this and that they’re so angry with David Jenkins for doing this to them. But like, don’t be angry with David I don’t think it’s his fault. Like the whole thing with Neil gaiman and the ending of good omens he did on purpose and it was also passed off as a joke (the threats and all that) but people are actually really mad at David because of a character being killed.

Also, if people start leaving the fandom because of this, there’s a chance we might not get season 3, and they worked hard for this show and I also don’t think I can survive if it just ends there, like I know it was a happy (sort of) ending but I need to know what happens next!!

Maybe izzy’ll come back to life through buttons bird magic or necromancy or something. I mean we’ve already seen sea witches in this show so I guess it’s could be possible (I doubt they’ll do that though)
