#i immediately thought of andrew

"i hardened under the last loss. it took something human out of me. i used to be so deeply emotional i’d crumble on demand. but now the water has made its exit. of course i care about the ones around me. i’m just struggling to show it. a wall is getting in the way. i used to dream of being so strong nothing could shake me. now. i am. so strong. that nothing shakes me. and all i dream is to soften."

Apparently traumatised kids often fail to grow to normal height because all the energy goes to surviving and well no fucking wonder twinyards and Neil are so short

what i think each breakfast club member smells like (this is kind of niche but trust..)

john: you know that guy reeks of cigarette smoke. he also smells like weed, gasoline, and he's probably a little musky. maybe a slight dirt/earth smell

claire: she probably has like 100 perfumes....definitely a vanilla and floral girl. she always smells good no matter what, even if she isnt wearing any perfume. she probably has a slight cherry smell too

brian: he smells....old. he smells like old sweaters, old books, like...a vintage library. i feel like he also has a very faint pine smell...i dont know why

andrew: since he is an athlete he is going to smell a little musky...but i feel like he douses himself in cheap cologne or men's deodorant. he's like the human embodiment of those deodarants that are like "TIGER STRIPE FIRE MOUNTAIN BREEZE 🔥🔥🔥"

allison: i feel like she also smells like smoke, maybe a little alcohol. she kind of smells like an antique store, it isnt something you can quite put your finger on. it's allison anyway, girl is an enigma

data and geordi incorrect quotes (star trek x bicentennial man)

Data, examining a malfunctioning piece of tech in the Enterprise: What a piece of faeces. Geordi: Shit. Data: Excuse me? Geordi: What a piece of shit. Data: I know that. Geordi: No, that's what you say when you're frustrated. You say "piece of shit". Data: "Piece of shit"? Geordi: Yes, but with feeling. Data: Oh. What a piece of shit. Geordi: More. Data: What a piece of shit!

the fact that the clip of hyunjin calling changbin an omega male and saying he’s seen some funny alpha male videos, and stays are assuming it’s the omegaverse instead of like alpha male videos about “alpha/strong men” vs “beta/weak men” and shit is killing me 💀

[crazy-fangirl2524]

Figure skater! Andrew and hockey player! Neil is something so personal

[hella1975]

hella idk what to send to you for aftg im either bored or annoyed and I don't wanna just say bad things about it 😭 like that's just rude and yall obviously like it I DONT WANNA BE SOME DEBBY DOWNER MDMWKEM

I looked at the anti aftg tag too to see if I could intermingle there and last I checked it was a mix of fans obsessed with the series and haters being just a tad harsh imo, so i couldn't even do that RIP. I'm so lonesome in what is maybe a whole group of people gaslighting me 😔👊

honestly ive said this before and i always have to tread a very fine line with it because this isn't me saying it's OKAY or like. promotable. but i do think to an extent that aftg's problematicness is actually an aspect of what draws people in a lot. like the characters and their reactions to things feel real for who they are, what they've been through and the environments they were raised in if that makes sense? and then you go in the anti-aftg tag and it's just again and again 'they said THIS thing and acted THIS way in response to THIS scenario and it was PROBLEMATIC' and like. yeah. outside of the internet bubble you're in people do actually do that. like that behaviour exists. it IS problematic, well done. you pointed at a wall and called it a wall. but like? in real life people - PARTICULARLY deprived, traumatised people that typically don't ever get therapy or community or someone telling them why something is bad - DO act this way. ive said half of my love for andrew is literally just because he took an awful backstory and let it make him a complete cunt and ive NEVER seen a character do it as shamelessly as him before. and yeah there's the argument for how it's never resolved in the book where nora ties it with a bow and points at the bad behaviour so the readers can go 'see, this is wrong' and we all clap, but idk it just for me feels that when people point at the aftg characters and go problematic! problematic! problematic! it's like they're missing the point a bit.

the point being? that we need to be putting WAY more heat on the author. i really dislike her and a lot of her writing choices and her insistance of using slurs that aren't hers to reclaim and just because it happened to make the characters feel just that bit more authentic i can still acknowledge that she CLEARLY wrote it without characterisation in mind and just added all that problematic shit anyway. like i never get why there's so little focus on nora's writing decisions and thousands of posts just fucking CRUCIFYING the characters themselves and 'let's explain in detail why this behaviour is Morally Reprehensible and they should be Locked Up Forever'. like if u want to focus on the characters so bad and pretend they're the sole reason why aftg is Problematic and Bad then why is it so hard to acknowledge that someone raised the way they were might have some misinformed, ignorant beliefs. idk lol

Besties I have Andreil brainrot and i was listening to Self-Destruction by I Prevail and like tell me the opening is not them?

Andrew: “ I said go away

Take a moment, think it over

I said not today” (the rooftop scene where andrew tells neil that Neil wanting Andrew was a nervous breakdown not a yes)

'Cause everybody sucks and I cannot relate

And everything is fucked and I cannot be saved

Maybe that's because I'm on the way

Took everything I had and threw it in the flames

Watch it burn while they're steady taking aim

I guess it came with repercussions

I've been in it for a minute, this is not up for discussion”

Neil:

“Tell me that you hate me and I'll tell you that I fuckin' love it

Tell me you'll save me and I'll tell you that you're savin' nothin'

Tell me 'bout your demons and I'll tell you that I've got a dozen

I'll take 'em with me on my path to self destruction”
