#i dont know why is this like a cancellable offense

[ravewing]

If Napoleon was in wings of fire what type of dragon would he be, I think he would be an icewing but idk

honestly ? its always been sort of in the back of my mind that hed be a seawing– i literally have no idea why !!

i feel like whenever i get into a new media, i subconsciously sort the characters (or in this case, people) into wof tribes. like i see bryce from hfjone as a sky/ice, the opabinia as a rainwing, washington as a mudwing, coach stopframe as a sandwing .. you get the idea .

i dont even have legitimate reasons for the majority of my 'tribe sorting' its literally all just based off of vibes🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

anywho i know you didnt ask but other napoleonic figure headcanons .. because im cringe ..

josephine would be a skywing i think ? maybe sky/rain

murat is definitely a sand/rain. like i know that as bones as i know that the sun rises. i can feel it in my heart

i think davout would be a sandwing, but my gut is telling me mudwing so im not sure ?

ney is a sand/night/sky (25% night 25% sky 50% sand). i feel like this is uber specific and might not make sense but its what my heart is telling me

tsar alexander is a rainwing . logically it doesnt make any sense but you guys just dont see my vision ..... but maybe an icewing too i dont really know. icewing actually is better now that i think about it

frederick iii is maybe a nightwing ? i dont know very much about him though so this could be very incorrect. i could see him as a seawing too though

fouche is a sandwing 100%

lannes is also a seawing

bagration is definitely a skywing like i dunno he has a very skywing-esque face .... but also perchance a sky/night.

barclay de tolly is a sea/sand ? question mark ?? i dont know much about him either

talleyrand is a rainwing but in the way that chameleon is a rainwing

yeag i dont think most of these make any sense but if you guys could borrow my brain you would understand . i think my founding father headcanons are more on-point because im a lot more familiar with them

[gamingforeternity]

still can't believe there are people on this app that simp for Bob

I mean yea, I get the appeal of his character, he's a cool demon man who murders people and eats them like a Michael Myres meets Leatherface type character that also has a connection to Lila's past and the Eyes Cult, he's amazing!

but...Y'ALL ARE ATTRACTED TO THIS GUY?!

THIS FUCKIN' CREEP THAT WOULD PROBABLY EAT YOU WHOLE IF YOU EVEN GAVE HIM A FUCKING COMPLIMENT?!

THIS IS YOUR DREAM BOY?!

I don't even know why I bother anymore, I think we've officially broken the meaning of "Tumblr Sexyman" at this point.

[nonbinarydva]

Guys, I just found myself on a Blocklist, does this mean I'm Tumblr famous?

Little disappointed I got put on a Blocklist for something I didn't even do, really thought I'd be put on a Blocklist bc I tell ppl to kys sometimes.....

★ WHAT WOULD CANCEL BLUE LOCK BOYS IN THE INTERNET ★

with — Rin, Shidou, Sae, Nagi

basically just about what canceled people have done but its blue lock characters

cw: mentions of violence (shidou and sae) mentions of reo x nagi 😭 (they’re not in a relationship here just a online inside joke in their fandom)

disclaimer: all just headcanons, all of em never happened, not canon 🫡

★ RIN

just some random day his name was just trending on twitter and people just keep on saying that “Rin is a nepo baby but his brother is the famous one” — “he’s only famous because of his brother”

honestly got canceled for no reason and he doesn’t give a fuck

he would wear those shirt with a “nepo baby” text on it

he would also get alot of backlash about his behavior. “he doesn’t wave at his fans” “he doesn’t want to take pictures together” “he flip us off”

he would go live on insta and have the funniest response on his issues (and they’re mostly used on tiktok as reaction vids)

haters wont affect him if he’s the biggest hater in this planet 🫡

and also restored tweets literally just bashing some other soccer players

★ SHIDOU

mainly literally brawling with rin in the middle of their game

“why is he still on the team anyway” “i can’t believe ya’ll still support shitdou” “all this tiktok girlies will make edits of him being this violent, poor rin :((“

people (rin’s fans) hated his guts because he always pick a fight with rin

another mf who won’t give a fuck about the internet have to say

restored tweets. mostly just saying the most horny statement known to man

has cheating allegations too

“bro thinks he’s aiku 😂” — “are they real? HAHWJSHA” — “bro he gets girlfriends?”

he enjoys being a menace in the internet, he’s fine being a clown of it or whatever he just want to piss people off

★ SAE

being literally friends with shidou 😭😭

“no wonder he’s also a meanie”— “yall need to see someone if you guys find red flags like them hot😭”— “gahdam what’s wrong with his hair🤨”

he gets alot of hate already about his attitude

said a slur once

run over a paparazzi once with his luxurious car

but people find it really hard to hate him fully because he always get the best plays whenever he’s on the field, that at the end of the day more people still will be cheering for him

one of his big issue is literally having a own fight with his OWN brother

people think that’s too far already and feels sorry for rin

“poor guy no wonder why he’s so emo he have a brother like this” — “its always the older siblings” — “this whole soccer thing is turning into a drama”

★ NAGI

he has very overly obsessed fans

yep. i like to think that aside football, he also streams online to show off his gaming skills

doesn’t care about the hate comments he gets because he know that haters can’t be avoided when you’re famous. BUT HIS FANS ON THE OTHER HAND…

if you said something that he didn’t like the world will most likely know your address or something because his fans are gnna come for you

and his fans will probably bully tf out of his haters too 😭

“nagi stans are krazy bruh dont mess with them” — “those nagi stans need jail time 😬” — “nagi control ur fandom 😐 they’re ruining lives online”

will apologize on his fans behalf

has probably said something homophobic accidentally and didn’t know it was that offensive til he reads his chats

“ayo! HAHAHAHAH don’t you have a boyfriend?”— “reo collect ur man HAHAHA” — “bro why u said that 💀”

would apologize for the lack of knowledge

nagi: guys reo is not my boyfriend, he’s my best friend y’ll

thanks for reading lads

3D by JK (feat. JH) - my take.

Ok, unpopular opinion maybe, and I might get my ass beaten for this (not in a good way 🤣)

Feel free to disagree RESPECTFULLY.

Disclaimer: If anyone comes at me with that cancel bullshit I will block you, because we all get to have an opinion.

If my post enrages you, scroll past until you can be civil, then come back and talk. Or block me. I dont mind.

And don't tell me that because I don't love this song I have to hand in my ARMY card... I'm not going to.

🙂💜🙂

I'll start by saying I love JK so, so much. Adore him. Will always support him.

But for me, 3D is a misstep.

My feeling is Hybe should have reconsidered releasing it as it is.

JK's lyrics are fun and sexy. The innuendo is on point. The melody is great and the chorus has excellent sing-along value. Even though I'm not a huge pop music fan, I like the vibe.

The MV dancers are awesome, and I got a kick out of the fire hydrant metaphor.

And in that jacket with nothing under it, JK looks hot enough to melt asphalt.

However....

Including Jack Harlow's rap IMO is a mistake. It sucks, frankly. Not in a good way.

It not only misses the mark on the tone of the rest of the song but his lyrics are really just offensive. Misogynistic. And racial refrences are just... not cricket. It's 2023 not 1995, regardless of what his hairstyle tells you.

His lyrics sound like an incel bragging about their sex life when all they've ever done is watch porn. From his words, I doubt he knows how to please any person but himself.

His message is gross, but its still just... generic. Like he went to urban dictionary for spicy language and then googled how to treat women like shit. There's nothing original about what he's saying. He's not even being gross in an intersting way. It's gross AND boring.

(Jack, if you're reading this, sorry my guy you gotta do better.)

I've been army since 2018 and this is the first BTS song I have tried to find merit in and given up.

I honestly tried to be into it and i just... can't. It doesn't sit well with me.

This is a new experience for me because even when BTS release something i don't immediately love, i still stream and watch and let it sink in, or I work on figuring out what I am missing and why it's ACTUALLY good even if i can't grasp it.

This... it's just... not good, in my opinion.

I have to clarify here...

It isn't about explicit content, i am totally down for that. If anyone read my post on Seven, they will know my response to that song. In a nutshell, I believe all adults who want to, should happily and shamelessly be doing ALL the horizontal tango. Every type, every day, in every way. With anyone and everyone they fancy as long as all parties are informed and consenting adults who are equally enjoying the experience.

Yes. I am all about getting down.

That doesn't mean treating your partners like a body count or using and abusing them with no consideration. That's not cool.

**PSA: please be safe and use protection. Get tested regularly if you have multiple partners. Don't do anything you don't feel good about and dont stay with partners who harm or manipulate you 💜**

Now, back to the smut.

Some criticisms i saw of Seven were about how dirty it was. A few people were upset because JK said fuck, and because he sang about how and when he liked to fuck. But more criticism was levelled at Letto. Why?

It seemed like it was because she's a woman, singing about sex.

Letto totally owns her sexuality and she knows what she wants. I snorted with delight at how deliciously filthy her lyrics were. Some very clever wordplay made her verse so visceral, and pretty shocking to the pearl-clutchers, without her ever saying anything directly. I really enjoyed it.

She was telling us straight up how good she is in bed. Good for her. She totally rocks. And she wasn't disrespecting anyone. She didn't need to do that to make herself cool AF.

The difference between Letto's rap and jack harlow's is that jack sounds like he's just looking at the women he's singing about as a hole to stick his dick in. Women have fought for long enough for equality and respect. They don't need this bullshit. You can sing about getting down, and you can be absolutely filthy and nasty and wild, and you can do it without degrading your partners.

I did read a theory about this song being social commentary on toxic masculinity. You can find it here and you can read it below:

Its not bad as a theory. At least it wouldn't be if Namjoon or Yoongi or Hobi - or Jungkook himself - had written the song. If that were the situation we'd see some inkling of self awareness in the rap, and maybe a hint of character development. But there's none.

Sorry ARMY, this is not the class of lyricism we have come to expect.

If jack is trying to make a social statement^*, or play a character, he is not succeeding in showing any growth or humanity at all. He's really just that stereotype.

In the last few lines, after he offers to fly his victim from Korea to Kentucky, he says "and you ain’t gotta guarantee me nothing I just wanna see if I get lucky."

How considerate...

All I see is zero care factor about the actual person he's trying to get with. Which is quite different from JK's lyrics, which show awareness that he's interacting with a conscious, living human being, not a piece of furniture.

jack follows with "I just wanna meet you in the physical and see if you would touch me"

Ugh. Not with a ten foot pole, douchebag.

And how about, in his first verse "All my ABGs get cute for me"

Good god, really? Is he seriously saying this?

So its a no for me.

The ONLY saving grace is that there's an alternative version which is pretty fun. It's almost as if Hybe knew we would hate the version with jack harlow. Wow, such insight!

Now, i know that's not the only reason they made an alternative. They needed a clean version for US radio play (let's be real, what possible other purpose can this song serve? *°)

But they could have censored jack's... actually they couldn't. The rap verses can't be salvaged. They genuinely have no merit, the only hope for the song is totally removing them.

What does that tell you?

ARMY will no doubt still chart the main track but personally, I would feel morally compromised if i supported that version. So I'll stick to the alternative and hope for better things to come.

------------

^* Stylecaster doesnt think so either. I visited their website to check thr lyrics. They said, of D3, "Meanwhile, Jack Harlow brings the cool with his two verses as he raps about all the women he could pull"

Uh, really? I hope that's intended to be ironic.

*° The MV had only 4.5million views after 12 hours. And we know what brilliant strategists Hybe employs. I am travelling in Korea right now. There was no promo visible here. And it was no accident that it was released at lunchtime on Chuseok - the biggest famiily holiday of the year - when relatively few people in Korea would be available to engage with it. THEY KNEW IT WAS A STINKER.

hi!! im still alive!! + updates on this blog

first: i would like to apologize for disappearing without a word for like. nearly a year. im terribly sorry for any worry i've caused T_T;;

honestly i have no good excuse for disappearing like i did especially without reason (not that im obligated to let everyone know my business but i did have a "i wont randomly disappear!" sentiment and yet... here i am) but in a nutshell, its basically: fandom shifts, college, and guilt.

if you want to know about the future of this blog fandom wise;

still going to be a lookism/viral hit blog (havent caught up yet) but most likely wont be as active in the fandom anymore;;; thinking of sticking as a lookism blog until that series ends but who knows when it will so i might eventually just change fandoms 😭

please dont feel bad about unfollowing or anything!! curate what u wanna see with who u follow, i take no personal offense, even if we've been long time mutuals!! ><

fandom shifts will probably be more common; i have this weird thing where i cant focus on multiple interests or i get stressed;; so i get obsessed with one thing for months/years but then once i lose interest and move on, its likely i wont return to it unless something triggers it. thats why i dont think "multifandom" fits me, i'll always be fandom focused, its just the fandom focus changes 😭

p.s. sorry if im being dramatic about this (i feel like a youtuber who got canceled writing an apology 😭😭) i just feel like i owe yall an explanation </3

if you're curious about me, i've left that under the cut;

got into a new interest which made me stop looking at lookism/viral hit stuff -> knowing my blogs are lookism focused, i decided to take a "break"

couldnt get myself back into lookism after my "break" ended -> couldnt get myself back on tumblr

started to feel guilty because i havent been active in a long while

senior year ending, school takes my priorities -> summer break comes, i swear i'll apologize on tumblr but guilt eats away at me and then i have to do college stuff

become a little active on tiktok, start feeling more guilty because im active there but not on tumblr

college begins, get busy with college stuff -> during breaks, swear i'll apologize on tumblr pt 2 but the guilt has piled up so much it feels like the equivalent of when a person cant get themself to reopen their animal crossing new leaf game because they havent touched it in a long time

first college semester ends, winter break starts -> finally convince myself to get over it and start typing all this up

once again im really sorry T_T i was not made for the content creator life bc i cant stay active for shit + i feel so bad gaining followers for one thing but once i move on from that one thing, it feels like im disappointing a lot of ppl even tho i know i dont owe strangers on the internet anything- im just repeating myself now but yknow

oh and for anyone curious: my current fandom is dmc <3

[ddreamteamies]

I dont know how to explain this properly but twitter users see everything that they dont like as not a personal offense but also a something that needs to be called out like its a public service? I think its directly tied to the whole 'we can only consume content if its morally good and if it even has a Hint of something problematic then its Evil and needs to be cancelled'

Because why else would they get so mad at someone who has a different opinion? Theirs is the only opinion that is morally good which means everyone who doesn't share it is morally corrupt and needs to be called out

Long story short: nuke stantwt and restart their brains to include critical thinking

no honestly and a lot of the problem is twitters algorithm because you’re forced to see shit that’s going to piss you off

if people just ignored the stuff they don’t agree with twitter would be a much nicer platform to be on but they can’t ever ignore anything 😭

[lunatic-fandom-space]

I dont think ive mentioned this at any point but Im actually really obsessed elisabeth but I cant engage with it at all or even think too hard about it without feeling like Im gonna start biting people. like, ive been making a lot of tanz der vampire posts and whenever one of my original posts gets interacted with I go and check the account because Im a freak like that and surprise surprise, people who like that musical also often like elisabeth, theres one account in particular who might even recognize me because its a fairly small fandom, and whenever I look at their account Ive always completely forgotten that they post a lot about elisabeth and I get jumpscared and have to very quickly click away as my heartrate inexplicably spikes for a second. And it really sucks because one time one of the posts I got jumpscared by was this one that pointed out how deaths carriage was also rudolfs bed and I hadnt noticed that and its really neat and I would love to see more posts like that about what is basically my favorite musical ever but I cant. look at them

I think the reason my brain is so weird about letting me enjoy it is that it is rpf and also german in origin. or well its from austria but you know what I mean. And i dont know why because its not like hamilton where all the songs slap but its weirdly patriotic so i dont really wanna watch it in full ever again, not only do all the songs in elisabeth slap but its also not patriotic as a whole, like thats the reason i was able to listen to it almost every day while taking the bus to school for about three months, i couldnt do that if it was weirdly patriotic yknow. Speaking of me listening to the soundtrack almost everday for three months, whenever I would do that I would imagine these elaborate and usually very romantic animatics in my head and thats perfectly fine but god forbid i wanna read a fanfic thats just a non-musical prose version of Die Schatten Werden Länger (Reprise) because like, no offense but what other kind of fanfic could you possibly write about this musical. Or maybe I just lack imagination idk

Also, speaking of the nature of this musical as rpf, because Death is the only character thats not like, real, hes the only character that I can read or write fanfic about, like I found a fic about him intracting with the von Krolocks and I liked it so much that I wrote my own oneshot about him having a weird tender moment with Herbert and I have ideas for like 3 more, which is kinda ironic because hes the character Im the most unwell about for all the obvious reasons and usually when Im this degree of unwell about a character i can hardly stand to even think about them but I guess the fact that I can already barely bring myself to think about the musical hes from kinda cancels that out

[strangestcase]

i promised myself i wouldnt talk about the gothic lit fandom drama anymore but i will just say that, while i dont care for other people curating their fandom experience and blocking whomever they like, it is very telling that big name fans are systematically blocking people that speak up against the racism and ableism that go unchecked in the fandom, and rallying other fans into doing the same claiming it's bullying. it's not. it's criticism and it's not even particularly biting.

if you keep using "it's satire" to defend uncritical consumption of racist media (marghen), harrass those that ask for an antisemitism warning even if it is a redundant one (dathen), miss the picture and paint the fans of a character mistreated by the fandom as violent for speaking up (draculadailybracket), or double down when confronted with the fact your writing is ableist and that certain stereotypes shouldnt be met with praise in 2023 (see-arcane and company), people have a right to be uncomfortable. sorry not sorry but that sort of behavior IS criticism-worthy.

i do agree that callout/cancel culture is unhealthy, but that doesnt mean you are free from accountability. when someone walks up to you and says, "what you're doing is bigoted [accidentally or not]", or hell, even, "i don't agree with this creative choice because [reason]", you can either

consider if what they're saying really is worthwhile, and meditate on it; apologize if needed, dismiss if they're wrong.

double down without a second thought

and a lot of big name fans are, sadly, doing the second, and convincing otherwise decent people to block "bullies" that are genuinely just concerned fans. i don't know- maybe a small speck of tumblr fame got to their heads. they certainly did not behave like that during the dracula daily run of 2022, and while the gothic literature fandom -like any fandom- has always had rampant issues with racism and ableism (made even more blatant by the fact the source material IS openly racist and ableist more often than not!), this is the first time I've seen fans put people on a blocklist for the offense of calling it out.

the old gothic lit fandom blocklist wasn't great but they certainly treated ableism within the fandom seriously.

like. idk. i just find it rather disgusting that the new big name fans are seeing a handful of people look at their creations and go, hey, this is not cool, and here's why, now, can you stop?, and reacting by painting us as violent bullies.

i've been put on the blocklist for pointing out LXG fanworks -specially "fixit fic" ones- should keep Mina as the protagonist instead of having her share that position with her husband that wasn't even present in the comics/movie, for fuck's sake. i've had a blog block me for saying a fanfic that depicts a villain as an extremely ableist caricature of dissociative identity disorder was gross (because it was!). like... are you aware that it is you who are being assholes here, right? i might be being rude or pushy at times but it's honestly grotesque that so many people are hailing some Shyamalan's Split grade shit as good, innovative, and progressive writing and "the antidote to bad Hollywood adaptations".

do you hear yourselves?

[waterloggedsoliloquy]

18 & 20 for the ask game. i need to hear how this hypothetical drama would unfold

you picked the GOODIES

18.) what aspect of the story would get you #canceled on twitter?

this is a toughie is the thing. while im not one of those creators thats terrified of being offensive or problematic, i also dont pay that much attention to elements of work that might offend. im more interested in being genuine and trusting my message rather than relishing in having #problematique content.

that being said i think a lot of people would not like that sicely isnt a g*ld st*r lesbian or that lucerne doesnt use labels, bc twitter is really hung up on what characters "really" are or what stories "really" mean.

i think theyd also do that thing where theyd be like ugh look at these children currently in abusive situations why are they not acting 100% perfectly, the author clearly has no idea what theyre doing with portraying abuse, this is just torture porn and fetishizing ptsd/osddid. bc theres no way that the things that happen in CW could ever happen to people, bc abuse happens to other people and never in anything i might have to interact with.

20.) your ocverse just got a movie trilogy a la hunger games style. how have they horribly mangled your message/theme so that the movies are now a showcase of what the original was condemning?

This ones also a toughie actually bc a large part in why the hunger games movies contributed to showcasing what the original work condemned is because the media circus and bloodsports as vapid entertainment were directly being condemned in the original and #Media isnt really a huge part of carousel waltz. i think in order to really turn carousel waltz on its head youd have to be simultaneously very victim-blamey to the children but also prop up the adults as the ones who must "save them", bc children cant do anything on their own and cant be trusted to have legitimate grievances with the adults in their lives. flattening midas into either a villain who never cared about the people he abused or apologizing for him as a well-meaning patriarch who was just led astray and by proxy flattening the abuse into depictions more palatable to the wider consumer audience would do it i think.

but i dont know if it being a movie trilogy would necessarily cause those changes to occur-- movies are visual and sequential like comics but usually have to be 2 hours or less and are overwhelmingly held hostage at the whims of distributors, executive boards, investors, etc. so the influences it would have over carousel waltz would be along those lines. i think that with the time crunch it'd probably be really easy to make the story less subtle, and to have to hammer home points. certain characters necessarily would not have as much screentime and focus in a movie trilogy, which i think WOULD contribute to being an example of what im trying to condemn, and a movie might inadvertently say that some abused children are just collateral damage and we can move past them, some abused children dont have interiority or anything to draw attention to them, some abused children are more important or worth rescuing more. its also very important to me that most of the carousel waltz kids r not white, and that the grownups are, but casting would probably whitewash them or try to make the story colorblind instead of keeping in how midas' abuse takes advantage of his identity of whiteness over them. combine this w the idea that there needs to be adults to save these kids and u get a white savior araceli. if this concept makes you want to gnaw your leg off at the ankle to get the shackle off, that just means youre still human! try to hold onto that feeling.

since magical girl isnt a big genre in the west theyd try to reflavor it as some other thing like superheroes or a dnd party or something. or theyd want to age up the kids so the bad things happen to a more acceptable age group bc the idea that kids might have bad things happen to them is a scary thought so theyd completely miss the point abt it being a story abt child abuse and now its a buncha late teens-early 20s bullshit.

im actually debating how much swearing i want in carousel waltz (it was really hard writing guardians dilemma without zizi swearing) but executives would only let me have one fuck and would not let anthea call anyone a cocksucker :(

2x11 2/2: ‘He does *waves his hands around* all of this for them and they still act rude in a way, if i was him, i’d burn the whole place down, okay thats a but much but they are very very rude *brian tries to give his tickets to linds* HE CARES! NOT THAT IM SURP- blondie, if he didn’t wanna be here, he would just say adios and leave you alone in you DIY dress! WHY DO THEY KEEP TELLING HIM WHAT HE THINKS AND FEELS AND GOD DAMN IT THIS IS ANNOYING ME SO MUCH *looks at me* hey, if i was like 100% sober, do you think id watch it more peacefully?’ Narrators note: no, i dont think so, in fact i think the drugs are helping him, wish i had them when i watched s5. ‘She wants him to fuck lots of beautiful guys but she almost had a stroke bc ted started a porn site. Who is she lying to? Him? Herself? Or me? Bc i feel lied to. Whateved, give me my boy and Bri Bri in Miami!! Dancing and drinking and having fun!’ And now Justin cancelled on Brian ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYYYY BLONDIE! WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?!?!?! He wants to console debbie?! She has mike! Fuck debbie! That bitch better drown in her tears if he wants to cancel for that!’ And now he is watching the tv like a hawk to see if Debbie cries. ‘HE ISNT EVEN CONSOLING HER! She is smiling! Not a tear on her! *he now paused the tv on mel* i swear i dont mean this in a bad way, okay maybe it is but im not 100% sure so you tell me..BUT she gives off the vibe like if she did an interview about her character instead of saying the name or whatever she would speak in first person..now to think of it that nerd also gives of that vibe (when asked which nerd he just went ‘im done explaining myself).. not one tissue was passed to debbie! Not one! I guess this wedding was cute but come on! Give me brian and Justin on a trip! I had to suffer doctor bone crack and mike fuck in a forest, i think i deserve something good for that’ ‘i will kill myself if it cuts to Brian sad in a loft or some shit like that. HE CAUGHT A BOUQUET!! DOES THIS MEAN HES NEXT?! i wonder who caught it at the wedding? Probably Emmett’ And at this point he is no longer chill or collected. He is now going on and on about how lindsay sabotaged him and how he is a good person that deserves good stuff and that them not going on a trip is horrible and that he is fully expecting them to go on a trip by the end of a season but since miami just happened he is willing to compromise that s3 better start with them somewhere on a trip/returning from one. I think he might kill me when he sees the finale.

OH MY GOD in my last answer I forgot to address your brother going WILD over Brian deciding to take Justin to Miami. Welcome to the fandom, friend. The things we melt at. (NGL my spouse took me to Dinah Shore which has a white party for my 30th and it was very romantic... in its own debauched way) (we were younger then and better able to mimic Brian's lifestyle)

Thank you to your brother for seeing how batshit Lindsay is. What the fuck does she want from Brian? NO ONE KNOWS. IT IS A MYSTERY.

And yeah, Justin staying. I get that it made sense for his character. Probably a bit of foreshadowing for Ethan. (And not a single tissue passed to Debbie) (but also truly no offense to Sharon Gless, she is so normal about Debbie). (Which nerd? I die)

Brother better buckle up if he's hoping that Brian and Justin get to go away to any-fucking-where. Vermont, Miami, Ibiza... none of it happens. Ever.

I get so sad seeing Brian catch the bouquet at the white party. IDK why. It makes me sad.

I wish we could start a fund for you for the end of this season - to pay for your therapy and probably your brother's.

🐀(angst) 🌈🍖❌

🐀 [Rat] Name three reasons why this WIP is great at being angst.

hmmm ok number one i think its a really complicated situation wolfstarbucks all find themselves in and theyve all got stuff they struggle with, which because it's gonna be five chapters in a row of one pov for each i think it really lets me dig into their pov on The Events and how they feel about it !!! Number two is all three of them suck at communicating. And number three is they get to be soggy-horny about it.

🌈 [Rainbow] If at the beginning of your WIP the characters knew about the end, would they kill you to stop you from writing it?

i would like to think that they would be very very happy about the end, however i think they would kill me to stop just about anything that happens in between from playing out the way it does lmao

🍖 [Meat] How many fictional people were harmed in the making of this WIP?

2 dead countless injured

❌ [Cross] What would your WIP get cancelled on Twitter for?

honestly im not very in tune with what is a cancellable offense in twitter these days, however i have gotten a few comments of people doing what i imagine is their version of trying to cancel sirius via ao3 comments section, which.... pls do not come for my bbygirl!!! also not sure how people are gonna take all the gender stuff in part 2. in general i dont know if twitter would be a big fan of summer came early sirius lol

I honestly hate the state of cancel culture right now. Celebrities are people. People are fallible and say stupid shit sometimes. People sometimes hold bad views and change. But now suddenly nobody can make a mistake without being the literal devil and being chased off the internet. Like, I get it for serious crimes and blatant repeated bigotry, but making a few stupid mistakes every now and then is just a part of the human condition. Celebrities are not paragons of morality, they are humans, who make mistakes, and expecting them to be anything else is unfair.

EXACTLY BESTIE 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 someone once explained it to me this way: if a close friend of yours said something slightly tone-deaf, and you cared about them, you wouldn’t get up and walk out of the room and ghost them forever. You would explain to them why what they said is problematic, have a convo, and if an apology is necessary, they apologize, and we move past it!

It reminded me once when I was 18, I made a stereotypical joke without knowing it was offensive. In that VERY moment, in the middle of a bookstore, I was with my best friend buying stuff, and she turned to me and said “I love you, but I want you to know what you said is fucked up cuz it’s making fun of wheelchair users.” I paused to think about it, realized that it was actually shitty. Promised to never do it again, and we went about our day. To this day, her kindness is what I keep in mind when educating people. And this happened when I was 18- so 2013. Way before performative wokeness and shit.

I don’t know why we don’t treats each other and celebs with the same kind of compassion. Nobody’s perfect. Nobody knows all the right things all the time. Everyone makes mistakes. When did we decide to forget that???

I said that to a fan once when the podcast nightmare broke out. They were like “I don’t owe him shit!” I know they think it’s a good comeback but….DONT YOU? Don’t you owe your fellow man the benefit of the doubt??! Don’t you owe this artist who has gone out of his way to speak up on stuff that most celebrities cowardly stay quiet about some respect???? Don’t we owe each other the bare minimum???

Idk man. It’s sad. But I’m over it. People act all holy and shit just to feel good about themselves. It’s sad.

y'know lately the sentiment going on thats like 'idk why you expect me to check where im getting my posts from and its weird for you to message me like hey dont you know xyz is y like why do you want me to vet shit like im a cop' is something i like. feel is very understandable. i dont think the idea is wrong, and i dont think the people making the posts or reblogging them are inherently wrong or bad people. they're born from like. getting messages about fucking fandom discourse opinions, and other trivial 'online-only' drama, as if its the most important thing in the world, when its like really not, and its encouraging this hyper-surveillance of your peers online. all of that is a normal thing to push back again and be worried about enabling.

but i also like. it concerns me when i see someone reblog a feminism post and the op is a fucking terf or some other equivalent. like im sorry buddy but i do actually think you have to care when you are reblogging that. 'they made a good point' did they though. did they. or are you just bad at recognizing dog whistles. or do you just not understand any of the underlying politics to their beliefs that permeate their every post. maybe they didn't make a good point and you just being suckered into their pipeline. did you consider that one.

idk man. i dont really like the internet state of hyper-vigilance and cancelling, where any wrong move no matter how minor, innocuous, or just like blatantly unjustified and born of misinformation gets you crucified and harassed. and to be super clear i don't think reblogging a post from a poisoned source is a damnable offense that means you deserve to be cancelled, harassed, etc etc. but at the same time. i think when you are engaging with political posts on the internet. you have to do your due diligence. you can't just parrot politics blindly. if you're going to post like you care about xyz political issue then like....yeah. You have to actually do the work and care. And that means fucking checking your sources or accepting when other people tell you your source is bad.
