#i stan miss lister

[charliespringverse]

i've touched on this before but like . i really do think rowan's feelings get accidentally overlooked by readers that ,,, Aren't a bit obsessed and rereading for the nth time

and it's understandable because the version we primarily get of rowan is fereshteh's warped fanon & jimmy's longtime best friend mental illness riddled descriptions . and Because jimmy is unwell he almost idolises rowan in a way that holds him up as a pillar of stability and permanence — which is what jimmy needs and it's not a wholly negative thing, but he also inadvertently fails to accept any evidence to the contrary

whereas with lister we Learn a lot because jimmy is learning a lot — through deeper-than-usual conversations or blatant cries for help or very revealing behaviours — we don't get to discover anything new about rowan, and so when he's kinda mean or angry or distrusting it's easy to misinterpret that as him being deliberately and needlessly nasty

but if you stop looking at him through jimmy's lens, that boy has had an absolute bastard of a week . the jowan photo leak affects him as much as jimmy (arguably more so, because all the while he's dating bliss, jowan is an Active Lie rather than just an untruth), he's dealing with the same contract stress, his secret relationship has been exposed to the world, his girlfriend is ignoring him at a really difficult time, he's watching his two closest friends fall apart, he's learning that he really doesn't know one of them very well at all, his best friend is missing, the other is definitely an alcoholic making no moves to resolve that, his girlfriend has dumped him, he feels like they (and bliss) are being stalked by a member of a group he already feels like he isn't safe around, he feels like he's losing the two people closest to him

and all this time he's considering himself wholly and singlehandedly responsible for fixing all of this, feeling he has to hold himself and the world together . there's no real safe space for him to unload any of this because the three people he's closest to are either dumping him or going off the rails, and the only way he's ever known how to make himself comfortable is to have complete control over a situation, which just Is Not available to him here

it's not the fault of jimmy's narration that we never get to truly sit with the extent of what's going on with rowan, and in fact it really Really adds to the themes of being unable to truly know somebody and personal perception destroying objective truth

but GOD it breaks my heart to see people say they don't care for rowan, or don't like him, because he's snappy and sweary and short with people . because that's such a natural response to having that much shit piled on top of you in under a week AND losing your only coping mechanism (in this case, taking the weight of everything and moulding it into something tangible and possible to hold)

anyway. i am a rowan omondi stan first and a human being second and WOW rowan needs therapy and jimmy needs to stop idealising him

The Lemon Legacy: Generation 1, Chapter 102 - The Past, Present, and Future, Part 2

The Lemons meet up at a nearby bar to get some hang time in with the Sistems and Celeste.

Fan: OMW it's really her!

Marcie: Sometimes I forget you're a celebrity! Look at you and your stans!

Ophelia: Maybe they're cheering for you! You're an author, right?

The girls chat while the guys play foosball. At least until they're interrupted.

Paparazzi: Hey, over here!

Ophelia: Oh, Brytani Cho must be around here somewhere.

Celeste: I'm pretty sure she's taking pictures of you, honey.

Oh wow… She is! That's never happened before!

Ophelia's feeling confident, so she decides to tell the pap off.

Ophelia: I'm trying to enjoy time with my friends! I signed up for this, but they don't need to have their faces plastered all over whatever trashy rag you work for! Get you and your stupid little hat out of here!

A few fans ask Ophelia to sing one of her songs in the lounge upstairs, so she obliges.

Xander: Mars, look! Ophelia's latest song went viral. That's why there's paps and fans following her!

Marcie: Oh my Watcher… Ophelia's a B-Lister!

After this new revelation, the gang decides to take the party back to the rental so they can have some privacy. Plus, this means Gemma can be part of the fun!

Joaquin helped himself to a taco from the fridge. He knows how to party.

Gemma doesn't seem as shy tonight. She even babbles at Joaquin a little bit. She must be getting in the party mood!

Celeste: I can't believe we're hanging out again. I missed my bestie.

Ophelia: There's no reason we can't pick up where we left off!

Celeste: I'd love nothing more, girly.

Gemma ignores her mom and her old new bestie hugging. She's feeling the groove!

Xander made cherry bombs for everyone! He and Ophelia get the first two.

Xander: I'd say this trip got a lot more fun, huh, Mrs. B-Lister?

Ophelia: I know! I can't believe it!

Xander: I can. It was only a matter of time.

Xander: You look gorgeous tonight by the way… But I think that dress would look better on our bedroom floor.

Ophelia: Xander! We have guests!

Looks like at least two of them are pretty distracted.

Xander: Come on, I know you've got flirty moodlets too.

Xander: What if we just went back to the room for a bit so I could give you one of my world-famous massages. I know the paparazzi stressed you out.

Ophelia: Well… That does sound nice. Alright fine, just a massage.

She downs the rest of her drink before they go to their room.

Meanwhile Gemma's been left unsupervised for the first time in her life so she's wrecking the bookshelf and everything on it that she can grab.

Yeah, the massage didn't last long.

Marcie: Hello, cutie. Where's your mommy and daddy? I actually haven't seen them in a while.

She lifts Gemma into her arms.

Marcie: Don't worry, you can hang out with me, Joaquin and Celeste. I'm sure your parents around here somewhere.

Oh, don't worry about Xander and Ophelia. They're doing just fine.

After their trip, life goes back to normal for the Lemons. Ophelia does some chores around the house while Gemma naps, but cleaning this nasty sink is making her feel sick. Maybe it's the smell of the grime or the cleaner, but either way, she feels like she's going to puke.

Looks like it was more than just a feeling.

Ophelia empties the contents of her stomach into the toilet, the wave of nausea overtaking her.

Ophelia hasn't felt this sick since she was…

Oh.

OH.

Ophelia immediately waddles down to Xander's nectar cellar to tell him the news.

Ophelia: Honey, do you have a second?

Xander: Sure thing, Lemon Cake, let me just finish this last bottle up.

Poor sap has no idea what's coming.

Ophelia approaches him, hands behind her back.

Ophelia: You know how we've been talking about redecorating the nursery since Gemma's going to be a toddler next week?

Xander: Yeah?

She pulls the pregnancy test out to show him.

Ophelia: Well, we might want to keep the nursery.

Xander stares down at the test, studying the results.

Xander: This is real, right?

Ophelia: Of course!

Xander: We're going to have another baby!

He pulls his wife close and kisses her, the joy from the announcement overtaking him. Another little Lemon is on the way!

Not that RG and Miss G don’t look like fools at the moment but legit imagine if they had of carried on they way they do and he was an A-lister. TMZ would be reading them to filth and tearing them to shreds….they would be utter clowns/fools not that they aren’t already with their antics 😂🤣.

Literally. I know it's probably the IG stans with tumblr accounts getting the most defensive about the HELLO! article, but I don't think people in this fandom understand how irrelevant R is in the grand scheme - and I'm sure he prefers it that way.

Yes, a lot of celebrity news is leaked via their own camps (ie calling the paps on themselves), but the truth of the matter is that if a media outlet like TMZ deems you click-bait worthy, it will find out any and everything just so it can be the first to publish a headline and therefore get the most traffic. (Otherwise, TMZ wouldn't be able to confirm a celeb death before families even find out...) Ryan's name alone does not catch the public's eye. Since being with 9-1-1, the articles written about him that have nothing to with his character involved the good times in his relationship (the kids) and, ofc, what went down in 2020 because to ignore it would be pointless. We're not getting paparazzi updates on his vacations. We're not getting *continuous* gossip outside of tumblr or wherever else detailing the ups and downs since early this year. We're not seeing tabloid headlines about a "secret life" behind the scenes. For HELLO! to take the time to put that article together, and not take it down (meaning the G's haven't reacted privately to "false accusations")...for there to be no follow up to show that the media will say whatever it wants whenever it wants, legitimacy be damned... ...It's ended up being another example of RG only making headlines when there is something to talk about. Otherwise...nobody cares. (If TMZ doesn't latch onto your relationship drama...are you even famous?)

Gentleman Jack is a super important show for many reasons, but my personal favorite is simply Anne  

[synthezcid]

I wish MCU would announce Vision’s next appearance so I know when to expect the new Vision comic that just happens to come out around the same time

[tenderobject]

Listen i know i’m not really active anymore but since lesbian tumblr is losing its collective mind over Gentleman Jack, here are some pics of me living my best life when i visited Shibden Hall in july 2017. Yes that is me next to her actual bed that she pumped all those women in, yes that is vulgar, no i am not ashamed because she certainly wasn’t and also i’m gay so it’s allowed!!!

[hologramcowboy]

Real swing and a miss with the US Weekly love story article. I feel bad that the CW wasted their money on it, not even the Danneel/Jenneel stans on Tumblr are talking about it and those people are so thirsty for content they’re typically the first to shout from the rooftops when they get something. US Weekly didn’t even have the article in their Instagram stories, which is where they normally promote C lister content and fluff pieces meant for clickbait.

The article is also terrible even by US Weekly standards. All old quotes, most of their relationship timeline pictures are random ones from Instagram and it’s clearly all about Jensen despite it being a couples article. They could have at least pretended Danneel was an actress like she claims to be. No one is saying “wow, they’re so in love! So rare to see relationships like that in Hollywood” after reading the article. The aim was clearly to paint the Ackles as a power couple, and they missed by a long shot.

I know that this article is PR clean up to make up for the bizarrely cold and unimpressive showing of the Ackles at Upfronts, but it’s hard to push a love story when everything else points to the contrary. They should have turned their focus onto Danneel, sent a few sighting of her to Deuxmoi and then wrote an article about her holding down the fort and doing her part for CM while Jensen had to be in Europe for The Boys promo. That way she gets a little attention and legitimacy and it turns Jensen ditching her into a business choice.

A better story:

“Jensen would have loved to have his wife by his side, but work never ends for this couple! While Ackles promoted The Boys overseas, the other half of the producing duo was busy networking in New York. It’s nothing new for the couple who recently celebrated their 12th anniversary, this hardworking couple even had to postpone their honeymoon back in 2010 due to Danneel’s busy schedule. The actress may not currently have any projects in production, but that doesn’t mean she’s taking this time to rest! After throwing the cast of her and her husband’s new show The Winchesters a spectacular party to celebrate the show getting picked up, she spent the weekend in the city working out final details with network executives and hanging with the cast of the show. An inside source says that she’s not only a producer on the show, but as already become a mentor to a few of the cast members. She was seen shopping with Jojo Fleites (they’ll be playing Carlos, a hunter who embodies the free spirit of the 70s) and sharing a cozy lunch with leading lady Meg Donnelly, a Disney starlet is launching her post teen career by playing the young and wild version of the Winchester matriarch, Mary Campbell.Jensen Ackles will be returning to reprise his role as Dean, though this time around instead of hunting monsters he’s searching for the truth surrounding his parents and their love story that led to the Winchesters becoming legends in the mystical world of monsters, heaven and hell. And Dean’s involvement in the story opens the door for other fan favorites to return; like Anael (played by Danneel), an angel with a twisted moral compass who only looks out for one person- herself. The Winchesters, best described as a tribute to Supernatural and the era of the 70s, is set to air this fall on the CW.” See, it’s not hard to write a good article.

I can't believe this is what the writer came up with. I mean, US Weekly got paid to run the article and it is so badly written and just a collection of old quotes without threading a beautiful or informative story, just a full on mess and it comes off as the cheapest click-bait. Given the low quality and the miss, I wonder if maybe this article was not actually ordered by PR but by Danneel herself through one of those cheaper publicity websites that have article packages. What you wrote is a better story indeed. Too bad they never focus on doing things with the utmost professionalism and essence. Thank you for sharing your view, Anon.

[zumpietoo]

B-stans have nothing and they know it, thier girl was just whining about being single and having trouble dating because of the show (funny none of the male cast members seem to have this problem) and her movie had re-shoots and no release date in sight. Why isn't Miss Popular, Industry Darling, Everyone Wants Her invited to any of these events? Oh yeah, I forgot she's just a booty call for A-listers who want to keep things "private" my bad. I'm sure she'll be at the next pre/Oscar party for sure

Ooohhh I forgot about all the soooperrr famous guys she was now a free prostitute to! Oh wait....that was 6 weeks ago, so have her stans!

[mariacallous]

LMAO girl the d-lister stans are TRULY out in your anona tonight....did not expect fervent defense of TYLER???? POSEY??? In this year of our satan 2022

I mean, I do think it’s kinda apples to oranges comparing Tyler Posey to Harry Styles with what’s going on and I’m also thinking the point is beginning to be missed here a bit. The thread is being lost slightly.

[wernerherzogs]

you don't have to answer, i dont want to make your askbox intolerabel. but i just realised how much i dislike h**** now when i tried listening to his new album. i cant even like his music... like all the things his said and done these past? 2?3? years im just so tired of him. i kinda miss the whole old 1d days, it all felt abit more like a family (the fans) even tho you hated 90% of them. im sorry just felt like airing it haha i have the feeling you feel a bit the same, but you really dont have to answer. the nostalgiiaaa

anon i'm sorry you feel that way! if you're a long time follower you might be aware that i was struggling with my Stance Towards Harry for quite a long time, but i've found my way to being able to enjoy him again. the secret was: 1. moderation (i don't have to keep up w/ everything he's up to! i can just tune in once in a while!), 2. accept what i can't change (he doesn't deserve to have an acting career, he gets gassed up for things other people have done before him just because he's white and english speaking, his privilege protects him from consequences of refusing to take an elaborate stance on any serious political/sociological/etc. matter he's being asked about, he's actually quite a boring dude beneath all the anecdotes about a listers he hangs out with and books he gets papped with), 3. enjoy what's left (he IS a kind and decent person at heart, as far as celebrities go, i still love his voice and his stagesona and most of his songs, he's a huge reason why i'd found many excellent friends on this hellsite, stanning 1d WAS overall a fun experience that simply came with cons). if you can't reach that stage of being a fan, it definitely is better to just unstan, and move on with your life. it doesn't have to be a bad thing!!! just make sure you're not blaming him for disappointment of having been a larrie and believing in things you used to believe (which i had partly stuggled with, but then successfully dealt with, i think). like that part is not fair to him, and he hasn't actually done nothing wrong, and it's ridiculous to villainize him for saying/doing things that don't align with your past beliefs.

THE MET GALA

It’s on all of our minds.

Two days have passed and our feeds are filled with photos, opinions, and parodies of the Met Gala. 

From Kylie Jenner to Elon Musk, everyone is talking about the outfits worn and the celebrities invited. 

Millions of questions about who will sit where, when we will see the inside of this year’s bathroom, and why so much neon?

We all want to go, whether to watch or walk the famous stairs of the Met. We wonder why Anna Wintour rebels against her own theme every single year. 

Where was Taylor Swift? Harry Styles? Timothee Chalamet? 

All I want to get my hands on is the list of people invited, who rejected the invitation? 

There were a lot of shapes on the carpet this year. The classic triangle; Hailey, Shawn, and Camilla. A hexagon; Phoebe, Pete, Kaia, Jacob, Austin, and Vanessa. Don’t forget whatever shape Chlöe Bailey’s dress was.

Lenny Kravitz killed the carpet and the stage, of course. Nobody was surprised when he looked better than half the people there, as the man was a designer named Cinna in another life.

Now the big question. Why does nobody listen to the theme?

The biggest controversy surrounding this year’s Met Gala theme, “Gilded Glamour”, (and other themes, we are not forgetting the disaster that was punk) was that there were very few people on theme.

I am here to discuss and squash some of these ridiculous opinions that have been circulating TikTok. 

UNLESS you are an A-List celebrity, you will most likely not argue when a designer brand comes to you offering to dress you. So, if said designer brand doesn’t care about the theme and puts you in a 1920′s inspired outfit, you probably wouldn’t disagree. 

BUT, if you are an A-Lister, you would have tons of designer brands begging to dress you, and that is where you have way more creative control. 

So instead of screaming at Sebastian Stan and Maude Apatow, maybe push your attention to Khloe Kardashian, Dakota Johnson, and Ryan Reynolds.

The Kylie Jenner dilemma.

From the rumors I have heard, the outfit she wore was designed by the late Virgil Abloh. This being said, was it on theme? No. Should people be completely trashing it? Hell no.

Neon colors?

Sebastian Stan, Glenn Close, and Gwen Stefani are just three victims of the horror that is neon. While Sebastian looked rather gorgeous in his suit, people wondered how it fit the theme. But apparently magenta was trending during the gilded age. If they had made the suit less modernized, it would’ve probably pleased more people.

Recently the Met Gala has been taken over by influencers. Emma Chamberlain, Olivia Rodrigo, and Addison Rae. Emma Chamberlain is someone who worked her way up to being invited to the Met Gala, and rightfully so. Olivia Rodrigo is questionable, this was her second time attending and her second time failing to fit the theme. Finally, Addison Rae, who is probably one of the most controversial invitees, next to Elon Musk. Not only does it make zero sense for her to be invited, but she practically dressed as a disco ball.

Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian looked amazing in Marilyn Monroe’s dress, but there are many controversies surrounding the attire. One, it’s the completely wrong era. Two, Kim K is now the last person to have worn it. Three, it kind of fucks with history. A dress which was once remembered as Marilyn’s from when she sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to President JFK, is now remembered as Kim’s Met Gala dress.

The woman who outdressed A-Listers.

Genesis Suero, former Miss NY USA winner, and current news anchor for Telemundo, caught everybody’s eye on Monday night. Wearing a stunning princess gown from Lucia Rodriguez, she was the hero we needed to save the theme.

Finishing off strong, Blake Lively.

Blake co-chaired and served at the Met Gala, wearing one of the most gorgeous dresses which changed before our eyes from copper to teal, all while her husband adored her from the stairs. An ode to many buildings and statues in New York, including the Statue of Liberty. This is why I will stan Blake for the rest of my life.

The Met Gala is always my favorite time of year, but especially when it lands on my birthday. So Happy Birthday to me, Donatella Versace, and the Met Gala, which served some of the best and worst looks yet!

S P O T T E D

It appears that there is trouble in paradise already! In the last 24hrs things have been very juicy around the resort. Like a pack of wild animals, Hollywood’s A-Listers have been making waves and tearing each other limb from limb. Let’s review the facts shall we? 

Tom Holland and Thomas Doherty were seen fighting, yet again. This time following Holland’s secret rendezvous with ex girlfriend Zendaya. Holland was overheard telling Z he missed her and wanted her back, while Zendaya slapped him with a confession that she never even loved him. Ouch! Doherty was seen soiling his oats at the bar last night until bestie, Victoria, arrived to carry his ass home.  

Trouble struck budding threesome, Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan and Lily James after Evans admitted to sharing girlfriends with Stan. Quote: “ Seb and I always make sure to give each other whoever we last dated. almost like we’re each other’s women tester to make sure she’s good for the other.” James didn’t take this confession lightly, feeling like a piece of meat being passed around the lions den. In a freak twist of events, when asked who Stan would save in a freak accident, he threw his bestie under the bus and choose his leading lady. It looks like Evans is being ousted sooner than he thought!

Selena Gomez was seen sucking face with Alexa Demi, in a shocking.. yet refreshing.. turn of events. I can’t say I saw those two coming but I certainly enjoyed the show ladies. 

Ariana Grande is boycotting the Elordi wedding after memories of her failed engagement with Pete Davidson set in. Grande was seen breaking the news to Davidson yesterday, leaving the stoned corpse confused and mildly upset. 

News of Maia Mitchell’s pregnancy scare hit the internet yesterday after a photo of her and bestie Camila Morrone outside of a CVS was leaked to the press. When confronted she told sources it was a scare and no 3ft tall infants would be born anytime soon. When asked how he felt, Elordi said he was relieved to find that his wife-to-be was not pregnant. He was reluctant to admit it and let us know that he had not yet told Maia of his true feelings. Could this be why he was seen sneaking out of their shared cabin before sunrise? 

With a few days left in Paradise, our viewers are anxiously awaiting updates as these events and more unfold. As always, we’re your #1 source for the truth about the hollywood elite. 

You know you love me,

born in a small town in maine , char was the youngest of two children . though the baby , she was never babied . she was a very independent child, curious about everything and from the time she could talk she was singing and putting on plays for her family 

as she grew, she took up odd jobs, like mowing the lawn, building bird houses or helping paint all in the hopes of being able to afford either singing or acting lessons 

when she was able to get a job her lessons became more and more frequent. she went to a community college and studied the arts, and when she was 18 she tried out for a show, and got put into a band with three others, she wasn’t very thrilled at first as she always saw herself as a solo act but the girls connected and its been a blur since 

the act has won countless awards, seen the world and have five albums under their belt

char has always stood up for the lgbtq+ community. she herself has come out as pansexual

she’s currently been in a movie, and loved the process but music is just something she can’t let go of, and never wishes to

Hi, any recs on modern AU JB fics?

Yasss! It’s my time!

First off, check out my ao3 bookmarks because I might be missing out on some great stuff. Sadly I only started bookmarking regularly very recently (say, after S8 lol) so this list is missing some fics. I’ll go through my downloads again when I have time.

Blessings in Disguise - Former A Lister!Jaime and Stage Manager!Brienne in a production of The Importance of Being Earnest. Hasn’t been updated since 2016 (sobs) but it ends on a good note.

The Contract - both of them are actors this time. I love the social media snippets, the Cereal GC sounds exactly like the Cereal stans on twitter.

Just An Act - High school AU with the ASOIAF cast putting on a Christmas play. Jaime is lead of course. Super cute. Has mild Rhaegar bashing which is always a plus.

Same Time, Next Year - JB childhood friends from ten to 18 years old. Hints of reincarnation au

two halves of a soul - Honestly I think we should credit this fic for helping the JB fandom survive after S8. Make sure to check out angel_deux’s profile for the Jaime POV fic and also some other one-shots based on this series!

dance with me and shake your bones - a sequel to two halves of a soul, this time with p0rn!

Beast and the Beast - not even gonna put a link because I’m sure y’all have read it.

The Higher Education of Brienne Tarth - the grandmother of all school AU’s imo

This is The One - ao3 user disappointed_turtle *zooms in* is muh queen. This one has soccer player Brienne and firefighter Jaime. Featuring other asoiaf ladies as Brienne’s fellow players. Check out their new mod au wip, Cloudbusting as well. It’s quite a bit darker.

St George’s Day - has a similar feel to This is The One. There are a lot of funny JB fics, but this is one of the few that made me laugh out loud. 

The Wake Up - While You Were Sleeping AU. Super soft but hasn’t been updated in a year

Something Blue - Wedding planner Jaime has to do Brienne’s wedding to Hyle Spoiler alert, that wedding does not happen. Has mild Rhaegar bashing, which is, again, a plus.

Clean Hands - obligatory Gwendoline Christie rec

Kismet with a Side of Fries - cute one-shot. tumblr and ao3 user francoeurs please return to me from the war

something good and right and real - single parent Jaime meets newbie single parent Brienne

Working 9 to 5 (for service and devotion) - great p0rn with hints of feelings

Pilot Light - chefs!

Rose-Colored Glasses - fuck yeah, new p0rn!

Ser Goldenpaws and the Wench - does it count as modern if it’s set around 1950′s? This fic is so underrated probably because it’s JB as golden retrievers. But it’s so good and adorable.

Brienne of the Sapphire Isle - yes this is cheating because this is based on Anne of Green Gables which is from the last century. But it is more modern than ASOIAF. So there.

The OTP Series - Myrcella, Margaery, and Sansa love YA author Brienne Tarth and they also love LOVE! So they set her up with Myrcy’s Hot Uncle Jaime. Also one of the JB fics that made me LOL.

Fever - This is a Rodeo AU. The one fic that made me give any premise in a JB fic a chance, no matter how odd.

All the Redemption I Can Offer - a post-ADWD fic, except set in modern times.

Run Fat Knight Run - a mod AU that’s also a S8 fix-it? yeah. Obviously, angsty.

The Wine is Not Enough - JB and a bunch of other characters attend the premiere of Cersei’s new film. It ends well for JB, if not for the film.

Everyone Has Secrets - Girl with a Dragon Tattoo AU. Has one of the best smut scenes in JB fics imo. This one’s darker than the others.

All the Roads are Winding - kinda cheating because this is a multiverse with a mod au, canon-based AU’s, apocalypse AU’s, but honestly, if you haven’t read this one, what are you doing???

The Dark, Dread Toyshop - Has magical realism and sexual awakenings. Go read it now.

LadyRhiyana’s mod au ficlets - especially the ones with Jaime the vampire who feeds on love, not blood 

ddagent’s mod au ficlets - especially… everything in this collection. ddagent tells us to prompt her for sequels to the ficlets we like but we like all of them!

[kindahoping4forever]

Did you see how much shit Ashton is getting for replying to The Weeknd?

I just looked because of this ask - I generally only use Twitter to see the actual tweets from the band, the discourse there is rarely productive and so I make it a point not to engage. In that regard, it's not surprising to me that people are missing the point. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Billboard controversy was covered by a few mainstream outlets but still largely only permeated stan twitter so it makes sense if the majority of people don't know what he's referring to. And while The Grammys absolutely have a history of being sketchy re: race, I was under the impression the narrative surrounding The Weeknd's snub was based around his decision to perform at the Superbowl the weekend before the ceremony. (Despite their stature, the Grammys are first and foremost a TV show and they don't like to share artists with other outlets - there used to be unspoken rules regarding artists not being allowed to perform elsewhere in the weeks before and after the show. It's the reason the AMAs used to be considered a "lesser than" awards show bc they used to air in January - right before the Grammys - and thus never had A-listers in attendance bc the big stars wanted to be featured on the more prestigious broadcast.)

Regardless of all that, it probably wasn't smart for Ashton to reply but for those who know the context, it was pretty satisfying 🤷🏻‍♀️

[dandunn]

For the character thing, how about Zoro and Lister? >:3

Zoro:

favorite thing about him: yes

least favorite thing about him: anytime he’s in the same vicinity as Tashigi post timeskip

favorite line: “When the world shoves you around, you’ve gotta stand up and shove back”

(less serious answer him asking the Celestial dragon “huh, you need directions?!” the fucking Nerve of Him) 

brOTP: I like to ship him w everyone so I don’t have too many but probably Sanji. They can’t stand each other lmao but as I want to explore in a future fic, they also probably couldn’t live without each other.

OTP: zoro/luffy, the one, the only, the seratonin machine baybeee

nOTP: him/any woman. I cannot see him as anything but 1-hundo-percent gay.

random headcanon: he picks scabs as a stim/dermatillomania thing. it’s gross. chopper tries to get him to stop. he won’t.

unpopular opinion: I don’t think I have any tbh Zoro stans are a simple folks

song i associate with him: Adrian’s Rhythm - Two Fingers (which synchs up rly well with his fight in the execution yard in Wano by the by)

(Also Tiger by the Tail by Black Light Burns mostly cause I stole the title for my extremely Zoro centric fic lmao)

favorite picture of him:  

Lister!:

favorite thing about him: he’s just so... Genuine. He seems like a guy I’d love to sit and shoot the shit with for a night. I see a lot of myself in him and I love his no-bullshit attitude. he’s very emotionally open which is amazing to see for a character who’s such a ‘Lad’ otherwise. 

least favorite thing about him: his character rot starting series 7 where he just becomes curry obsessed and kind of dumb, and not in a fun way. 

favorite line:  “Lister to Red dwarf; We have in our midst a complete smeg-pot! Brains in the anal region. Chin absent, presumed missing. Genitalia small and inoffensive. Of no value or interest!” 

(also the followup to that where he eats a cigarette for literally no reason)

brOTP: Man it’s hard to choose, his relationship w Cat is adorable and the love/hate thing with Rimmer classic but probably him and Kryten. He’s spent so much time teaching him how to be ‘human’ and fixing him up when he gets broken and pretty much making him into the bot we know and love.

OTP: Lister/the first iteration of Kochanski, or Lister/that one plate of waffles he ate out of the garbage

nOTP: I don’t really care about shipping in this series in general so n/a. Lister/ the Polymorph lmao

random headcanon: he has dyspraxia and adhd

unpopular opinion: not a fan of the long johns

song i associate with him: gaaaaanymede and titaaan yes sir ive been arouuund
