personally am firmly in the "jeremy's mysterious sibling #3 killed himself and jeremy blames himself/is blamed by his family for it" boat. jeremy's defensiveness over any discussion of suicide/joking abt suicide is really what makes me lean toward that, in addition to the fact that jeremy's in therapy and it's implied that it's drastically changed him as a person. so it's either that or jeremy tried to kill himself

i wonder what's in yoo joonghyuk's mind when he read this lines straight from the manuscript: [Eyebrows seemingly drawn by a single, uninterrupted stroke of a famed artist's brush; a nose and a chin shaped in perfect angles that defied attempts to measure them through mere devices of men; a pair of deep eyes seemingly carved out of a beautiful jewel containing all the misfortunes found in the world.] … like man's waxing poetry about your handsome looks and you believe kim dokja is fucking straight? who you fooling, bakayero
#ik im not the first wondering about this but#let's be real there is NOTHING and i mean NOTHING STRAIGHT about the way kdj describe yjh's looks#man's crushing real hard on his unpopular blorbo#orv spoilers#kim dokja#yoo joonghyuk#joongdok#dokjoong#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#omniscient reader

people on here are like “don’t engage with hate, you don’t have to justify yourself, post what you want and people can unfollow or block” and while i fully agree with that, it really does lead to a phenomenon where someone has a random bad opinion but feels so entitled to it and is so annoying about it that they drive away everyone except for the people who agree with them. and then they’re all smugly convinced that they’ve won the argument and everyone else is stupid and weak and it’s like. babe all you did was create a really annoying echo chamber. are those hate comments and anons or are people trying to ask you questions to understand you and your position. are you an elite intellectual under attack by the masses or do other people have valid points to make. it’s just so childish and obnoxious as fuck to boot.
#yes this is about someone in particular lol but no one in the tlt fandom#it’s someone completely random#it’s honestly just so disappointing watching someone you respected just latch onto a random bad take and get so stubborn about it that#your whole opinion of them changes#it’s like. you could just say ‘ik my opinion is unpopular and I’m not interested in debate but i do respect others takes”’#orrrr you could throw a tantrum#op

When you try to think out the box but then it backfires as the thought is SO bad and OOC, you literally just lock it in the box until you forget it:
(I tried to think differently from the usual because, that's just kinda what I do- and came up with the most strangest concept ever.. I myself dislike it for many reasons, so therefore I will keep it in me until I forget about it or something- 😶)
#danganronpa despair time#drdt#drdt speculation#(or hinted)#teruko tawaki#(only for the picture she has nothing to do with the thought I had THANKFULLY)#it's just THAT bad-#sanity questioning bad..#I just can't say it-#without being asked “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU- ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND- OF COURSE THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE-”#like if I ask thoughts on it#Ik damn well NOBODY will give an actual input#I can tell they'll just understandably come up to tell me I'm crazy..#just to clarify it's nothing 'illegal' or whatever-#it's just..#eughhh#who even-#nobody believes that crap#not only because it's unpopular (understandable)#but it makes NO sense in comparision#ok I'm done yapping I'll shut up now.#yay!!! yippee!!!

Phantom of The Opera rant because I just watched the full movie of my favorite stage play and it’s on my mind.
Warning: controversial/ unpopular fandom opinion. Key word: OPINION. Excessive yapping—I’m pulling up recipets yall. This is actually an essay. Despite that, I will definitely make some spelling mistakes, explain things poorly or repeat points. I am human, thanks.
I’m not sure if this is controversial or not, but I don’t fully understand how people like Christine and the Phantom together. At a basic level, I can understand why:
- It has dark romance themes/ tropes (totally different topic I could rant about)
-It’s taboo and edgy, kinda raw
-Many actors who play the Phantom are conventionally attractive
-Christine and the Phantom usually have more on-screen chemsitry (chemistry does not always mean romantic, please be mindful of that)
So, I wanted to write a small little essay picking apart why I believe The Phantom and Christine are a toxic and abusive pairing.
This is not an attack on anyone who pairs them together, nor do I honestly care that much if you do, I just don’t see many in-depth second opinions about this.
With this knowledge, proceed at your own discretion and be respectful:
I want to start off with the main reasons why I believe the Phantom and Christine should NOT be paired together. To preface, I have only seen TWO pieces of media related to the POT. I will be using those as my evidence, as they are also the most popular reditions of the play that I’m sure most of you will know and reference yourself.
Those being:
The 25th Anniversary stage play with Sierra Boggess and Ramin Karimloo
The Phantom of the Opera screenplay starring Emmy Rossum
To begin, in the screenplay Christine has been shown to have known the Phantom since she was a child. Throughout multiple reditions, Christine has always been portrayed as in her late teens to early 20’s during the main events of the play and the Phantom is depicted somewhere around his 40’s-50’s. That in it of itself is creepy.
I understand that age gaps are a big topic in fandoms and media, and I would have little problem with this age gap if it weren’t for the fact that it is implied many times that he has been training her to sing since her father died. To get to Christine’s level in the opera, that would take years. Even if she already had vocal talent. Meaning that she was a minor when he met her.
That would be grooming. Literally.
To add onto this point, I want to paraphrase and quote some of the things the Phantom says to/ about Christine.
“Sing for me, my angel of music”
“Since I first heard you sing. I have needed you with me, to serve me, to sing. For my music”
Now, anyone can interpret these lyrics differently, but how I interpret them is:
He is using Christine for her voice. He has groomed her (in multiple ways) and polished her voice to sing so he can use her for his music. I mean, he literally kills and threatens people who do not allow Christine to be the star of every play once the main events happen.
He calls her his “angel of music”. Which might be endearing, if you remember the fact that he has been grooming her since she was a child to “serve” him. This is an objectifying name. He is saying this in contrast with Christine’s angel of music, which is a literal angel that her father promised to send her. To Christine, her angel of music is her father’s love and legacy. For The Phantom, it is his magnum opus: Christine.
Speaking of Christine and her “Angel of Music”. This leads me to my next point:
The Phantom pretends to be Christine’s father/ angel of music to manipulate and trick her.
During both graveyard scenes (the musical and the screenplay) Christine says:
“Angel or father, friend or phantom?”
The way I interpret this:
It is not a coincidence the comparison. [The split/ play on words]
Angel or friend?
Father or phantom?
Christine believes the angel to either be her father, or an entity he sent. When the Phantom says to her in the next moment:
“Have you forgotten your angel?”
That is him admitting he knows that Christine has believed he was the angel of music/ her father teaching and guiding her this whole time. And in the same song he is manipulating her, putting back on the facade of being her “angel of music” and leading her back to him—where Raoul has to snap her out of it.
Raoul has to literally tell Christine that the Phantom is not her father in both the play and the screenplay. Further solidifying the fact that she believes that the Phantom is her father or a being sent by him.
If we take that into fact, that means that the whole time up until at least now, she has only seen the Phantom as a fatherly figure.
Now, let’s talk about the final confrontation.
I’m already hearing the “but she says she loves him at the end!” Or “then why did she kiss him?!”
Glad you asked!
The final confrontation is the most blatant showcase of the Phantom’s delusion and abuse.
First, lets it back to the fact that the Phantom is shown to be a murderer. Someone who kills for their own benefit without remorse. Christine says it herself, and there are multiple scenes where she speaks of the Phantom and is afraid. She believes the Phantom may even kill her if she does not comply with his rules.
Quotes/ Paraphrases here (from the broadway and movie scripts):
“(to RAOUL, pleading)
Raoul, I'm frightened -
don't make me do this
Raoul, it scares me -
don't put me through this
ordeal by fire
he'll take me, I know
we'll be parted for ever
he won't let me go” (Christine talking about doing the Don Juan play)
“RAOUL
When will that be?
It's an engagement,
not a crime!” (Raoul fighting with Christine about hiding their engagement. It’s implied here that Christine is hiding their engagement from the Phantom because she knows it will upset him.)
The most damning piece of evidence:
“CHRISTINE
Twisted every way,
what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life,
to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man
who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey?
Do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought,
he murders all that's good
I know I can't refuse
and yet, I wish I could?
Oh God - if I agree,
what horrors wait for me
in this, the Phantom's opera?” (Christine speaks about the Phantom after being told she is forced to play in Don Juan)
With this information, we know that the Phantom kills for selfish reasons. He will do anything to get what he wants. Regardless of even the feelings of Christine.
Back to confrontation, Christine in the movie is shown to have the Phantom force her to put on the wedding dress. She clearly does not want to do it, but feels threatened by him to do so.
The whole time she is uncomfortable. Then, he captures Raoul.
He gives her an incentive and she only has two choices:
-Admit she loves him to free Raoul
-Deny she loves him and kill Raoul
Now, if you know anything about incentives and abusive people. This is the most toxic thing to ever do. It is completely self-serving and both Christine and Raoul know that he is going to kill him regardless and is pressuring her to lie and say she loves him.
Quotes/ Paraphrases:
“CHRISTINE:
Farewell my fallen idol and false friend
We had such hopes, and now those hopes are shattered!
PHANTOM:
Too late for turning back, too late for prayers and useless pity!
RAOUL:
Say you love him and my life is over
PHANTOM:
All hope of cries for help; no point in fighting!
RAOUL/PHANTOM:
For either way you choose, he has to win/you cannot win!”
The Phantom is not doing this out of love. No one who loves someone would threaten to kill the person they love/ choose instead of them. The Phantom up until this point is possesive, infatuated and obsessed wih Christine. There are no signs of real love from him. It is all self serving and an idolized image of Christine.
When Christine shows him a bit of kindness during this moment I believe she is being genuine, but I also believe she’s only doing it to save herself.
Christine feels pity for the Phantom because she realizes during this encounter that he has been traumatized and isolated so bad that he feels he has to torture others to get what he wants. That he truly believes that no one but Christine will love him, and therefore he must make sure at all costs that he will get what he wants. Christine, being empathetic, tells the Phantom that she hears him.
I don’t think Christine kissing the Phantom is out of love. Not in a romantic sense. Christine kisses the Phantom not only to save her and Raoul’s lives, but also because she is feeling pity for the Phantom. He has never felt the physical touch of another person as he says in his own words, so she kisses him.
This obviously works, and she sets him free.
Lets talk about the musical because there’s a scene after this where she returns while the Phantom is wallowing after freeing them.
I still don’t think Christine returns because she loves the Phantom. Up until now, she has no reason to except for the fact that she finally humanizes him. No, I think that this scene just further solidifies that she yes, she loves the Phantom. But not in a romantic sense. From the beginning she has been shown to have a fatherly view of the Phantom, and I believe that paired with the memories of her father and the years they spent—she returns because she continues to see her father in him and feels pity for him. She wants to help the Phantom be happy because he brought her a piece of her father. Possibly she even still believes that he was in fact sent by her father to teach her music and take care of her in some way.
This is my interpretation of the scene.
A point I see brought up A LOT when it comes to justifying Christine’s romance with The Phantom is:
“Well, Raoul is abusive in the second rendition and her and the Phantom have an affair.”
Have you ever seen Cinderella 2? Have you ever heard of it? There are 3 Cinderella movies.
But we all refer to the first one because A. It’s the most popular and a classic B. The other movies sold poorly because they were bad and nobody asked for them.
My point here is: so is Love Never Dies.
I said what I fucking said. Cry about it.
But lets imagine for a moment if we took Love Never Dies as part of the main canon:
I don’t think Christine should be with Raoul either.
Another point I see a lot is: “They just meet again and instantly get engaged”
Which yes, that’s definitely a point of contention.
But considering just The Phantom Of the Opera in this case, they have known each other since they were kids. And considering the time period the events are set in, this is actually not that surprising or uncommon and makes sense. Even if Christine didn’t love Raoul, given her position, it would have been beneficial for her to get married. And it might as well be someone she’s known for a long time.
But if you were to ask me, without being forced to choose between Raoul or the Phantom, I would tell you that I believe that she should be with neither.
Both are abusive towards Christine. One just more literally stated than the other.
Edit because I forgot to add this crucial point:
The Phantom of the Opera was NOT a story created by Andrew Lloyd Webber (the man who created the musical adaptation and scores)
It is a story from 1910 by french author Gaston Leroux. If we take that context into consideration, (as someone who has not yet read the book) the movie (based on the musical) and the musical are not accurate representations of the original material or intention.
There were definitely creative liberties taken or misinterpretations. Especially with Love Never Dies.
There were black and white movies made of the story as well. The Phantom is specifically portrayed as a real life monster. This image of him being a handsome man with a scarred face and tragic past only happened in the 20th century.
I believe that is the conclusion of this rant/ essay. I know this probably won’t get a lot of reach, but if you read this whole thing (whether you agree or not), thanks a lot. Truly.
Hopefully this will add more discussion to the topic and give people a more open minded view on the topic, and realize the real nature of the Phantom. There are so many ways to interpret and art piece, and time and time again, this is what I see in it. So to see people romanticize their relationship always gives me the ick (ofc, you do you boo, I can’t stop you). So I’m tired of arguing individually with people, so I might as well have a full reference to come back to.
I’m sure there’s more evidence and points I could have made, but this is long enough. Regardless, I hope you can take away something from this, and if you want to possibly hear about any more of my controversial opinions—leave a note so I know! <3

(certain genshin ships w ajax brief negativity lmao like this is gonna b real controversial im sorry. not an attack at anyone just my opinion here be gentle)
obviously disclaimer that if u like the pairings in question im not like canceling or attacking you personally or saying ur wrong for liking it or for not considering the more uhh iffy angle im abt to bring up in terms of how i personally always felt abt these ships, i have mutuals who rb stuff for these sometimes and its just a tag i have blocked its life it happens, im more so just overall commenting on the existence of the pairings to begin w, its not worth the drama its my opinionnn please keep that in mind but yeah
anyway ugh now w like capitano model preload stuff and some of the model comparisons being made (hes slightly bigger than the usual tall male apparently n childes model was used for the comparison) and the shippy comments being made abt it im gonna be honest chief. i do not. like. a single ajax x harbinger pairing like im sorry just how exactly is the age gap (and seniority. and experience. and power imbalance) not processing with ppl when it comes to these at all ??? 😭😭 hes the youngest appointed harbinger canonically and w perueres story we now know that was like. Literally 16 at most for him. and even if that wasnt the case and before it was confirmed. hes still been around the harbingers since he was a teenager bc of being pulcinellas protege idc if its like this convoluted argument of well he wouldnt really interact w them on an interpersonal relationship level before hes a bit older its just still so weird to me i just dont understand how any of these pairings became a thing 💀 like you think not being around him that frequently would stop the usual shipping suspects ppl favor with childe from seeing him as a literal kid either way???
arles literally the one exception here since theyre actually around the same age but those 2 have the ship chemistry of two noble gases JSKSKSLDOSOSKFL (= literally no reaction) . arle is a whole dyke that much is obvious.
like obviously its not like much can be done since pairings like scara are way too popular to be somehow halted on their tracks and the cap stuff will prolly have a resurgence as well now that hes getting a more tangible characterization in natlan but ughhhh. it also sucks bc i think ajax 100% has a crush on cap and its such a peak concept (the guy Absolutely played a part in childes bisexual awakening) but the idea of it being reciprocated on any level whatsoever just feels nasty to me im sorry 😭 my cap would Never its literally on the level of pairing him w skirk to me
also scara always felt strange to me solely based on the fact that he genuinely dislikes ajax lmao like. it feels ooc on principle afshsjsksidk but whens that ever stopped anyone i suppose. it lowkey feels like ppl just wanted a m/m harbinger pairing at any cost 💀 and i suppose scara being an immortal puppet wasnt like known early on so i suppose the ship becoming a thing in like 1.1 is fair enough? but still my current feelings wrt ajax age gap w the harbingers do stand
#and like. seriously when i say dont take this as a personal condemnation if u like these#i do mean it#as much chagrin as the ships themselves give me its not worth drama#ik im on that hater energy when it comes to fanon ooc w ajax but believe me that isnt whats happening here 😭#im just venting abt a view ik is highly unpopular when it comes to ajax ships on my wee blog pls be mindful#delete later#mby#rambles#genshin

Gabby Carle being one of the most/only vocal players to talk about the CANXNT cheating (she and Viens are doing a podcast about it, she released an op-ed about it) when she was an alternate originally is really good on her bc I love her and I think she’s talented and cool but at the same time…where’s the teams leadership on this?
Multiple players on this team have 100+ caps and 10+ years of tenure. Carle has 50 caps, Viens has 35. Where’s Fleming, Buchanan, Lawrence, Leon, Beckie, Quinn, and Prince?
#look if this happened to the USWNT and Jenna or Coffey or Jae was suddenly the public facing personalities#I would feel the same way#it’s like how the USWNT vets took the brunt of the press during the lawsuit#if I were Viens and Carle and we were the only players speaking publicly about this I would be PISSED#ik this is probably an unpopular opinion#woso#canwnt#canxnt#canada soccer#2024 olympics#paris olympics

trying to relax by writing some tomarry except i think about the political system and economy of the wizarding world for more than three seconds and start spiraling and have no option but to open a new googledoc and start writing the lamest rant-thesis about fictional politics ever.
#it actually makes me insane its not even funny#basically wizards live under a puppet regime and have no democracy whatsoever#imagine being literally taken a way to a magical world from yr awful orphanage only to realize its got#the most fucked nonsensical political system ever#id become worse than tom riddle actually#ik ik its because jkr didnt care enough about worldbuilding#and canon itself is often left (purposefully?) vague but the implications...#also fanon but i dont blame anyone like literally the best i can come up with while working with and not against canon is like...#this muggle-pureblood alliance that essentially controls all of the wizarding world#thats extrapolated from some pretty unpopular assumptions that i never see brought up in fic but i think canonically it makes sense?#idfk man#i just needed to talk about this

Why do some people get so pissy if you have a popular or “overrated” character like Tweek, Butters, or Craig as your favorite?
Like Tweek is my favorite because I think he’s a genuinely interesting character with a lot of personality that people tend to overlook, and who I also happen to see a lot of myself in.
If that makes me “basic” and “boring” then so be it guess.
#he’s also a lil guy like look at him :)))#Kenny is my favorite too but I don’t see Kenny fans get as much hate which is why I didn’t include him#but yeah sorry my favorite character just so happens to be a fan favorite and not background character 67#it doesn’t mean that I only like him beacause of creek or that I don’t love the other characters#I would just like to enjoy a character without some rat complaining about how overrated he is#idc :))#also unpopular opinion but none of the characters are overrated to me#like they’re all well rounded and interesting characters#Ik there are some people who tend to treat tweek and Craig like they’re the only characters in the show which CAN get annoying but#that’s not necessarily the fault of the characters themselves?#anyways yeah sorry if I sound so salty LMAO#it’s mostly tik tok I see do this
