so so I finally found words for it but there is no way Annie as a character is meant to be with Jeff,,, and yes this does come from a place of hate for anything even remotely related to JeffAnnie but it's also more than that and totally based on their behavior towards each other throughout the seasons but I just found the perfect moment that incapsulates it

and that is in 4x13 Advanced Intro to Finality wherein Jeff is ready to graduate and there's sorta paintball with the darkest timeline and all that (which just saying is such a cool fucking setup but this is not the post where I talk about it) and both the Annie's (from the normal and darkest timeline) are facing off against each other,,, what the evil Annie tries to persuade the normal Annie with is the fact that they (jeff and her) are sleeping together in this alternate future and normal Annie literally responds with, and I quote, "No-one is supposed to sleep with him. Not even me." let that sink in

Now does this seem like somebody who has a serious romantic crush/is in love with the guy? What it seems like to me is a case of admiration (as a person and a human being) which is further warped into her assuming it's love because that's what we're supposed to do and told to do by society... What is more she obviously views Britta as a woman who (might not be the smartest and I will always hate on how the show ruined her character) but is still recognised and acknowledged as a woman,, something that Annie feels alienated from since most people look at her and tend to infantilize her (which is also a part in her dynamic with Jeff which is just,, n o),,, so a lot of the tines she tends to look at britta's choice of partners to turn to, to fall in love with (obv this is something that I derived from the 6 seasons laid out before me but this is my opinion and yeah)

and yeah the question then becomes why didn't she do the same with Shirley,,, number 1. Shirley is obviously in a different place in her life with her husband and kids,,, number 2. Shirley and her also have quite a big age gap which is again only widened by number 1,,, and number 3, if you notice properly there are episodes wherein you can see her try to emulate Shirley,,, the easiest and most off the top of my head example being the one where they are the campus security together which does end with her professing that she wants to be a grown powerful woman like her.

Now, if we talk about her other main crush, talking about Troy here throughout the first few seasons,,, it's again based a lot on her admiration for him for being popular and again THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AND WANT TO BE especially when you're literally at the sidelines of the high school hierarchy so much so that you would busy your ass to score good and do good but still never be known by anyone or acknowledged for anything you do,,, and she technically knew nothing about him which at most i can grant her being infatuated w him and yeah

and most of her attraction to anyone feels very surface level,, in the this-is-what-i've-seen-people-do-so-this-is-what-i-need-to-do-as-well,, instead of being properly attracted in a,,, i want to be romantically with you sense,,, she's essentially creating a fairytale of her life and idealising it and all the models she has for them are heterosexually inclined,, so this is the kind of behavior she ends up adopting and emulating,,

so a large part of Annie's behavior I do chalk up to heterosexual compulsivity (or comphet) because there are moments throughout wherein she shows more admiration and love for women than men in a i-want-to-be-with-you kind of way (and it would be really interesting to look at her struggle as a difficulty to differentiate btw I want to be her,,, and I want to be with her)

a large part of her character is also so interesting to me because of the fact that it feels like she gets away from the writers quite a bit,,, because a lot of the instances you can see how the writers want her to be perceived vs how she ends up being perceived by us (but that's true for most things related to media concerning the expected reception vs the actual reception)

i didn't know this was going to end up being a lesbian or at least queer Annie post either,, but apparently that's my truth and I stand by it

(also I do acknowledge the fact that the part of all this (the part about her being queer) can be chalked up to my own desires and biases and a little bit of projection but regardless,,, in any case, JeffAnnie is still weird and bad and doesn't really fit for their characters regardless (technically for both of theirs but this too long already) and I'm a firm believer of that (anti JeffAnnie till the day I die fr)

stranger things season one 2016 was so fucking incredible. it exists as an entirely different entity to me than the rest of the show. you literally just had to be there. to this day nothing has ever come close to the amount of universal love for a fictional story that stranger things first received. ive been chasing this high for eight years.

a very rough unfinished sketch/outline concept i did that i'm posting because my ability to actually finish anything is basically gambling on slots but i need to at least get it out there because kiss & tell is such a good song for them and i won't hear otherwise

Genuine question, where are yall getting the “robins eye dots + the stuff behind her are Xipe colors” from?

Because like I don’t see it, like at all. Xipe has like every color under the sun behind them and the shades aren’t similar to Robin’s at all, they aren’t in the same order and there’s like three million other colors mixed in there. I do think the “that rainbow behind her represents moon lesbians” is a little silly because even if it looks like the flag I doubt hoyo’s devs know what those are (I learned about them today 😭).

However, the other colors on the traffic lights and her cheeks straight up look like they are meant to look like a lesbian flag or at least a pastel version of one, and for the life of me I can’t see where people are coming from when they say it’s related to Xipe. I guess her eyes cover the other colors, but purple and yellow are still missing if she truly wanted to represent them on her face alone

Idk man, let me know your thoughts

" i think barbara took this. it's so far out. in my head, that is me now: mr rock'n' roll with a guitar.

[...] i play a bit of guitar and piano, but i've never put the time in to really learn them. they just give me some notes. now, with synthesizers and computers, i can play in any key because you just press a button and play them all! by the way, 'coochy coochy' has just been covered by ray wylie hubbard. i love ray.

*sees joe lycett's video telling people to guess which are the news stories he and his partners spread completely around that are completely made up, some ending up on respectable news sites/broadcasts*

*few hours later reads an article on how millions of years ago monkeys crossed the atlantic on a raft*

[Image description: a digital drawing of Thomas and Varian from Transatlantic in sepia tones. Thomas is sitting on a sofa smoking, one leg bent and resting on the couch. In his right hand he has an open book and in his left he's holding Varian's glasses. He seems to have just looked up from his book at a new arrival. Varian is lying on the couch, his head on Thomas's thigh, and sleeping while covered by a cardigan. End description.]

that awkward moment when you boyfriend said he'd just lie down for a second and totally wouldn't fall asleep (he has so much work to do, he can't take naps), but now he's been sleeping for an hour and your leg is cramping so badly but you don't have the heart to wake him because he's been exhausted for weeks

still cant get over the fact that pasupare canonically played Y.O.L.O!!!!! (pastel palettes band story 3, chapter 10)

[tomurakii]

The Dark Urge-typical r@pe/noncon mention (not positive) but one thing about me is I can't do an afab durge playthrough because it makes all the weird bhaalspawn breeding cattle shit from the cut epilogues/canon refuse-bhaal epilogue simply too fucked up for me. It's one thing to be like. Puppeted into fucking a gnoll or a relative it's another to also be forced to carry and birth its mutant/inc3st child.

.

cause like on one hand. NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED GAMES TOGETHERRRRR and theyll likely never hit that milestone unless tbarrie comes back to the avs and they did quite a bit more losing than winning but they were best friends and there was at least one season where they were both top 5 in scoring in the avs and allegedly tbarrie’s whole thing is like a worse and older cale makar (offensive defenseman) and he was healthy scratched all the time in nashville so theyll prob never resign him but. godddddd thwy were at 2015 worlds together :( eighteen year old natemac latched on to him like nothing else :(

ON THE OTHER HAND. however. absolutely blew past their games as opponents amount probably by halloween + did quite a bit more winning than losing + obvs did quite a bit of winning in the qmjhl

not even to mention truly the most evil of them all. eyetwitch

THEY WON SO MUCH TOGETEHRRRRRRR he should still be there he should get to retire w the rest of them expansion draft When i get you.

anyway. crosby and malkin have nearlt played one thousand regular season games together.

also connor and leon couldddd hit 1000 games in thr same season ? + it would be quite entertaining if leon gave it more welly than he’s ever given and hit 1000 points next seaosn
