Image 3: #SUPERB #spectacularly said #thank you for taking the time to write this and sharing #one gripe I have with tumblr is that whenever anything Black culture enters the mainstream conversation. white people get real loud #as in their reactions and opinions and analyses take center stage. which is extra ironic in this particular instance because #imo kendrick has always been for US. but especially now. especially with this performance. #and we just have to accept the fact that because kendrick is huge and mainstream his audience is going to include a lot of white people #which isn't a problem in and of itself at all!! come and enjoy the artistry!! learn something!! #it's just sometimes it feels like they take up space in such a way that pushes Black people out. see: tumblr #the beef with drake has gone beyond the culture lol. it's largely why there's so much attention on kendrick now and #as a performer he is beholden to that to an extent. of course it's important to the culture and it's important to him. #and Im really just talking about how I feel at this point but to me -especially with "their favorite song" - it does feel like... #fulfilling a quota. here's your entertainment. here's what you came for. and of course it's mostly what people are focusing on #when there was so much more to his performance. as shown in this brilliant post #so anyway all that is to say shut up and listen to black people #kendrick lamar
Image 4: âĄâĄ #also!! idk if you saw them bc you mentioned that your stream wasn't showing them but there was a phrases theoughout lit up in the stands #....none of which i can remember right now (^~^) >" but yeah!!! #idk maybe this is a reductive take #but the "tin (grey) and brown now they 100 and blue" could be a reference to Confederate soldiers to now cops (boys in blue) #and their shared/transitional position of forcing black men into positions of servitude/chain gangs/prisons etc. #(for context "transitional" bc prisons +jim crow laws was just slavery 2. look at the creation of US vagrancy laws) #but idk what the brown or 100 could be referencing so like i said. might be a stupid take.
A Crash Course to Kendrick's Super Bowl Performance, from a Black Woman
Note: this does NOT go in depth into all of the song's lyrics. I don't have time to recount two decades of his discography. This is just a summary of the performance itself.
Let's start with the first visual we get:
UNCLE SAM - most notably recognized from WWII American wartime propaganda, Uncle Sam is the personification of American patriotism and freedom. The term "uncle" is also evocative of Uncle Tom from Uncle Tom's Cabin, an abolitionist book that aided in inciting the Civil War. Uncle is also a very common term (both endearment and derogatory) towards Black men (eg. "unc"). Samuel L Jackson was fantastic.
Uncle Sam also resembles a circus ringleader, notable for my next point:
THE GREAT AMERICAN GAME - no, not Super Bowl. The GAG is us the people being pitted against each other: through late-stage capitalism, through the culture war, through class warfare, through being built of the backs of slaves. We are all players in the GAG because none of us on this site were the oligarchs seated at the inauguration.
This is also seen as Kendrick's stage was a Play Station controller. Not only did it remind of circus rings visually, but it was a game battle stage. The Great American Game is a battle royale of the commoners for the amusement of the rich whites.
Remember the foods / Them color was tin and brown / But now they 100 and blue - For this I'll just say, look what the last election said about lowering the price of eggs... and look at the prices now.
The revolution about to be televised / You picked the right time / But the wrong guy - Election 2024 once more.
THE FLAG DANCERS - yes, the dancers formed the US flag... off of the backs of Black people. Not a single white person in sight, and that's true of the cotton pickers in the fields. Plantations are part of how the US came to economic prominence after being a "backwater" colony. Remember tobacco? Cotton? Our bloodlines do.
The red and blue dancers are also notable for representing the Crips and Bloods, two infamous street gangs. The dance in Not Like Us is the Crip Walk. I recommend researching more on your own time about them, but just know they are a large part of the stereotype of Black people being "ghetto."
TOO LOUD, TOO RECKLESS, TOO GHETTO. Do you really know how to play the game? - This is exactly what Black people, especially Black men, get told all the time. It's why we change our names on resumes if they sound "too Black." It's why we codeswitch in non-Black company. This is especially rich considering how non-Black people love our culture and love to make money off of us, as the latter part of the quote points to. And it's even more profound during the Super Bowl-- the NFL is majority Black players.
STREET LIGHT A CAPELLA -- "thug" stereotype dancers to counteract the a capella connotations, with Uncle Sam then saying that Kendrick figured out "bringing other street guys around being a culture cheat code." Yes, this is a direct hit at Drake (listen to "Not Like Us") but also politically. Look up "model minority". Notably I would point to Candace Owens, or the Miami Venezuelan political group that's been in the news recently, especially as this directly led to Kendrick being surrounded by...
DANCERS IN WHITE -- it's white America. That's... that's the allegory.
NOT LIKE US TEASER -- Kendrick says "Not Like Us" is "their favorite song." -> he means white people specifically here. It comes after he's surrounded by all white dancers, the women around him who are his call and response are also in white (my opinion, they represent the industry). He's saying "Not Like Us" is the favorite of yts because it is about BLACK MEN FIGHTING. This again is reflected in the video game stage and ringleader Uncle Sam.
SZA -- instead of giving what they want, we see SZA. She's one of Drake's exes and Kendrick has always supported her.
ALL THE STARS -- This was in the first Black Panther movie, which I recommend you watch. Rest in Power Chadwick. Notably, this movie was incredibly mainstream as a major Marvel movie, and then we have Uncle Sam say...
"THAT'S WHAT AMERICA WANTS: NICE AND CALM. DON'T MESS THIS UP" -- translation: Marvel (the industry, America, etc.) wanted a safe, semi-pop song because white American likes safe pop songs, not Kendrick's usual heavy rap style about his life as a Black man! Don't mess up what you've got going mainstream for having this "Black rap feud" with Drake, who is an R&B model minority to white people because he's safe.
So what does Kendrick say?
IT'S A CULTURAL DIVIDE / IMMA GET IT ON THE FLOOR -- He was warned not to be political or apologetically Black for this Super Bowl performance, but he is using this big stage opportunity to speak out.
40 ACRES AND A MULE / THIS IS BIGGER THAN THE MUSIC -- 40 acres and a mule are what the freed slaves were promised. Instead, this land went to white sharecroppers. Research Jim Crow laws.
THEY TRIED TO RIG THE GAME / BUT YOU CAN'T FAKE INFLUENCE -- rig the election, rig the industry like with model minority Drake, rig the Great American Game with culture war to distract from active class warfare.
NOT LIKE US -- the only thing I'll mention because it made me holler is Serena Williams crip walking on Drake's metaphorical grave. She's another one of his exes.
TURN THE TV OFF -- exactly like he said! The TV is a distraction, the Super Bowl is a distraction, the mainstream news is often a distraction. Turn it off and get with your people!
GAME OVER â could not see this on my stream but at the end of the performance, the lights in the stadium spelled this out. The world is watching, AmericaâŚ
In conclusion, Kendrick Lamar is a visionary and thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

part 1 of random love interests headcanons because i need to get these worms out of my brain ASAP!!! i did sydney, kylar, and whitney
(mostly sfw for now, all gender neutral)
sydney
ive already well established that even if it isnât obvious at surface level, sydney is a mixture of many deep rooted issues and though they arent aware of it they are suffering from those issues. one of those issues being overlooked and undiagnosed ocd.
for their sake, they need everything in front of them to always be organized and tidy (whether its the library registry counter or their desk at home or school). if its not neat, they wouldnât be upset, theyâd be more than happy to clean it up again! it also why theyre always helping out the initiates clean the bunks and the garden. they love cleaning up, love the sense of accomplishment it brings, love the feeling of being in control of something.
this is also the same reason why their so studious and even a little obsessive over their grades in school. they dont notice it, but its all about control over things they cant control. they love the sense of accomplishment of having good grades brings for themself, and they love the praise it brings from sirris and jordan.
speaking of praise ehehe theres no they wouldnt have a praise kink. im pretty sure sydney has the biggest praise kink in all of doltown and thats saying something ! the praise from their family and teachers is great and all, but what really gets them going is praise from pc. its so easy to give them a mind numbing orgasm just say the bare minimum praise and theyâll melt instantaneously.
this is canon im sure, but the reason why sydney doesnât get molested or harassed in the temple is because their parent was a high ranking member and because theyre under jordans wing. so for the degenerate members that live/ work know that sydney is entirely off limits. sydney isnât stupid so they have to aware of what goes on in the temple to some degree â they just do a very good job of ignoring it hence the line âseemingly trying to ignore something awfulâ. even corrupt syndey does this so i imagine that their faith must mean alot more to them that meets the eye.
sydney is unintentionally really fashionable, but not because they have an interest in fashion or even know whats considered fashionable, but because sirris has good taste. when they go out they get compliments from strangers about it and it makes them flustered.
cries when they have sex
kylar
harbors alot of resentment towards the temple and its members (exculding sydney and pc if theyre involved). they know that they had something to do with his parents, and knows that theyre being avoided by temple members. kylar hates them so much but doesnt care enough about themself to do anything drastic towards them.
kylar has completely given up on trying to improve their situation in any way. they gave up a long time ago. i like to think in the beginning, after the initial shock and dread mostly wore off, they did try to find something, any clue that would lead to a semi acceptable answer but they quickly gave up and abandoned all hope.
i said it in another post this is why they latch onto pc so intensely, they literally have nothing else going for them anymore.
even in their least jealous state, kylar has become so warped by being shunned by everyone and loneliness that they dont have the self awareness to realize what their doing is wrong. theyre so manic with finally being able to feel alive again and finally having someone else that they theres no room for any reluctance or hesitancy. their not letting pc leave them alone again, not ever.
despite their small stature kylar is very athletically capable. not in tests of strength but in stamina, they cant beat whitney in a fight but they could totally run faster than them.
probably canon again but kylar excels at science because not only is it their favorite subject but because their parents had really sciency careers and encouraged them alot as a child.
even though kylar is a pervert creep theyre still really capable sexually? what i mean by this is that even though kylar seems like the kind of person who got all of their sexual knowledge from porn and anime doujinshiâs they still know how to make their partner finish. thats because they didnt get it from porn, they learned it from medical science. dont ask me how i can just feel it
doesnt cry when they have sex, but wails when they cum
whitney
some fanon interpretations of whitney are either âwhitney is a tsundereâ and âwhitney is just an assholeâ and my interpretation is strictly both. whitney is both a massive tsundere, and a massive asshole.
chainsmoker, though its more apparent when theyre alone. if they decided to walk alone though the town theyâd finish an entire pack and not notice/ care
almost never seen smiling when theyre alone either. they either always look aloof or pissed off when no ones around.
is totally capable of getting easily embarrassed, just when theyre alone. say something like , kissing their hand or saying something that caught them off guard. in private they would just call you a stupid slut while stuttering, with their friends theyâd either laugh it off or beat the shit out of you
despite the fact that she was wearing a chastity belt and didnt touch whitney at all, my pc still managed to make them cum nearly every encounter they had with whitney. this lead me to headcanon whitney as a total quickshot. like embarrassingly fast. theyâve learned to mostly conceal it in public but even if they didnt no one would dare to bring it up in from of them
i havent got the scene yet so im not sure if this is canon or not, but i think at high love whitney would allow you to sleep with one of their plushies for the night, as long as you give it back to them in the morning
not that i ever thought they were stupid or anything, but whitney is really smart. they fail at academics on purpose because getting high grades means you have lower status
whitney doesnât cry during sex or when they cum (unless theyre getting nonconned đŠˇ) but they would find it really hot if pc cries during sex. dacryphilia for this one. when its noncon its annoying, but still hot. when its consensual they probably get mored even turned on and try to make them cry harder
#dol#degrees of lewdity#dol headcanons#sydney the faithful#sydney the fallen#kylar the loner#whitney the bully#i want to make a gendered post too#but it wouldnt be as long i dont think

If you wanted to write a AU of SVSSS Ending, with your ideas, what would you write?
is this about my bingqiu fix it idea?
i made a post about it once, here's the link: https://www.tumblr.com/endlessburningdarkness/759446410753097728/fic-im-working-on-bingqiu-au-after-maigu-ridge?source=share
basically the idea is post maigu ridge, shen yuan is absolutely traumatized and everyone else like liu quingge and yue qingyuan is horrified hen they find him near dead and with blood running down his thighs. they don't just let him go to luo binghe and he's not just magically okay after essentially being raped for the sake of plot. he could not give any proper consent because the alternative was the world ending. this is called coerced consent, and thus is sexual assault.
shen yuan saying he "chose" it doesn't change the fact that he felt he had no otehr choice, other than dying or letting the world get destroyed, which is not a choice obviously.
luo binghe also reacts more realistically and more emotionally intelligent and like he actually cares about shen yuan and not just about getting in his pants. he's horrified by what he unintentionally did. he gives shen yuan space and time to recover. making sure to wear different clothes than he did that day and not touching him or getting too close etc.
he self reflects and realizes he too was at fault for the events that happened.
shen yuan slowly heals and begins to experience his attraction to men as luo binghe is still there, making amends by fixing up the mess he created when trying to end the world. he's sometimes practising without a shirt for example and shen yuan admires him. shen yuan realizes and accepts he's into men but is still nervous about sex with binghe because he's fucking traumatized and doesn't want that dick anywhere near him. he has nightmares and they don't sleep together.
as i said things slowly get better, with binghe's patience and reassurance that they never have to do anything helping shen yuan gan confidence in his own desires. luo binghe goes to a brothel to learn how to pleasure a man, and then goes home and practices with a dildo he got from the brothel ladies.
then he eventually seduces shen yuan slowly and gently, and they have amazing loving, non-coerced, non-guilty tripped, not "i'll endure because i must" but actually genuinely mutually desirable and enjoyable sex. shen yuan gets the sex god husband he deserves and luo binghe is reassured that he won't hurt his beloved ever again. shen yuan also has some character growth, realizing luo binghe is not just the "protagonist" who MUST TOP, because luo binghe bottoms for him and loves it.
fixed.

some theatrebunny angst perhaps? maybe gangle feeling as if nobody really cares much about her and jax has to convince her otherwise? :3
(also hi ezra hope your days goin good)
you gotta be kidding me, you have plenty of people who care.

ribbun/theatrebunny

gangle pov
just.. another day. another day of looking at those fake smiles, hearing those forced words of reassurance. i know that none of them actually like me, so why do they have to keep pretending like they do? i mean, iâd hate for them to hate me, but i also hate them having to lie to keep me happy. i donât want to be a burden.
at least one person doesnât have to lie.
i glance over at jax, whoâs messing with ragatha, as usual. he messes with all of us. it must be lonely, living like he does, but at least people donât lie and pretend to like him. i canât deny iâm a little jealous sometimes - he can just.. get peopleâs true colours out, in a way. itâs actually really interesting to watch.
he catches my eye, and starts to head over here, causing a small panic to set in me. i like being a spectator, not a victim.. is that cruel? i mean, im a cruel person, so why am i questioning that?
âhey, crybaby, how the hellâre you so down with that freakinâ happy mask of yours on?â he questions, and despite the wording, thereâs not even a hint of malice behind his tone, just curiosity. surely thereâs an ulterior motive, how would someone like him ever be.. well, not nice, but bearable??
âi guess.. iâm just tired of feeling like a- a burden-â i stammer, looking up at him with wide, worried eyes. âeveryoneâs always so nice to me.. and i think they feel forced to-â
âbullsh*t,â he interrupts bluntly, making me flinch. âwhat reason to those guys have to hate you? youâre a decent person. youâve not really done anything wrong, have ya?â
âi mean.. no, but-â
âyeah, no. itâs a one word answer, babe, and youâve just finished it. you said no. so, youâve done nothing wrong, they have no reason tâ hate ya. no ifs or buts, got it?â he interrupts again, eyebrows furrowed in sheer confidence in what heâs saying. but.. why is he being so kind? is he trying to lie like everyone else-? no. what would he have to gain from lying to me.? heâs not gonna risk his whole reputation just for a joke, right?? but, he could-? NO!! no, gangle, for once you need to take things at face value. heâs being nice. accept it and move on. let yourself enjoy the moment, it might be the only time this ever happens.
âyeah.. thank you, jax. i appreciate it�� iâm sorry for bothering you-â
âyou apologise way too much. itâs kinda pathetic-â he jokes, but i can see the lightheartedness in it, and actually find myself laughing along.
why am i feeling like this? iâm supposed to hate him.. heâs caused me nothing but suffering since i got here, and yet, here i am, finally getting along with him? hoping things will change, and maybe weâll be friends..? or more..? okay, maybe iâm being a little delusional on that part.. but i love the enemies to lovers trope, maybe a little too much..! iâm projecting again..
oh well, i guess a girl can dream.
and you know what they say, make your dreams come true.
<3

hey!! iâm actually doing pretty good, thanks for checking in!! i hope youâre good too, and thanks for the request!!
reblogs appreciated!!

i'm going into blathering oaf mode which i need to type out because otherwise i will literally sit and stare at a blank wall full monkey cymbals instead of doing work that, ya know, pays the bills
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/97ce940aea42c7fdd5e295dc4a226ea5/c364c3b4d914a261-ce/s250x250_c1/02bf81e7b08ff5011c3ab7f43541016e61678484.jpg)
buckle up, i think ur going to want to read this one (and if not obvious by the Read More, spoilers ahead)
right im watching s1 again because it is literally my comfort show and i will have it on in the background whilst im working
and im on Hard Times (ep3) and it's just got to the You Go Too Fast for me Crowley scene which obviously HEARTBREAKING
but it just suddenly occurred to me - when we leave the 1941 scene, it feels like the metaphorical ice has been broken and they've like non-verbally agreed to let go of the Holy Water Tantrum
and on top of that we see aziraphale realise he's in love with crowley, and THEN we see the dinner scene in the s2 trailer like solidifies that theyre all cosy and bashful and intimate and seem to have certainly forgotten the whole argument
BUT THEN we get to the 60s scene. and suddenly there's atmosphere. there's suddenly tension. it's awkward and cold and almost a bit nasty. and there is absolutely no reason for it, if you judge only on the linear events given to us in ep3
(EDIT: i watched it again last night and the only other reason i can think of for az being such an arse is that he found out about the robbery by hearsay and not directly from crowley which ok yeah is plausible absolutely and probably the reason for all of it but sOMETHING in my hind brain is just nagging at me that it's more than that so i stand by the following musing....... you may proceed)
what the fuCK happens in that dinner scene??? what in the last circle of hELL prompts az to come up with the "you go too fast for me Crowley" line????
because im telling ya, im betting my last vestige of sanity, that it is NOT the holy water thing
im fairly certain that there's going to be a discussion of the holy water thing in the dinner scene, i think that's a given - when you take into account that az's gut reaction to Crowley asking for holy water was to refuse him because â¨IT WOULD KILL CROWLEYâ¨, i think that is going to be discussed in that dinner scene
but
BUT.
ahem
i full pussy, honestly and truly (but absolutely fine if im proven wrong), will die by this BELIEVE that there's going to be an a love confession of Some Sort from one of them
Let's face it ---- probably from crowley ("why did you save my books?" "...")
in this scene.
going a step beyond that, i even think there might be a move made from crowley (not The Kiss, mainly because the costume/hair doesn't match but also doesn't seem like the right one) but like maybe he leans in or crowds into az a little too close in this dinner scene and it's going to absolutely scare the beejesus out of az
HE. đ GOES. đ TOO. đ FAST. đ
like az has literally just realised he feels something that, let's be real, he SHOULD NOT feel bc a) he's an angel and b) crowley is a demon.
but then crowley alludes to having feelings for az? possibly suggest to him that he has for ThousANDS of years???? and that he saved his books because he knew it was important to az????????
nopenopenope toO FAST BOY
az is an angel. opposite side to crowley. literally challenges everything az believes about being an angel and belonging to heaven. this could mean he falls. nopenopenope. too fast.
this is literally the onLY reason i can think of that would result in what appears to be a lovely cute scene, where az is quite blatantly moon eyeing crowley over a bottle of chateau, but immediately swings 30 years later to being cold and distant and "You Go Too Fast for me Crowley"
i will live and die by this, so help me god
and now....... discuss
#good omens#good omens season 2#good omens spoilers#ineffable husbands#azicrow#like the tone difference between the nazis and the 70s scene always irked me before#and now the s2 trailer has come out it was a veritable light bulb moment#as for the other Kiss i think thats when az finally confesses to crowley#it just has to be im not accepting anything else#good omens speculation

i can't with all these "the show is highlighting tommy's jealousy, they're planting seeds that it will cause problems" takes like bffr. he mentioned being envious over the 118's dynamic twice, sure, but in what world (literally how?) would that cause a relationship problem? do yall expect him to be in cahoots with gerrard behind their back and murder buck to take over his life or something?? like even with the hyperbole aside, i genuinely cannot see how they can turn this into relationship drama without going against everything they showed us with tommy so far
#he literally reassured buck about his relationships in that first scene he's fine with it#he asked how buck was doing about bobby because again he KNOWS (he literally has eyes & was there to witness buck save bobby from the ship)#how much bobby means to him like do yall think 6 months into their relationship he will be unable to deal with this and what? demand buck#not be so close with them?#or that he will want to be a part of that too and buck (who in turn reassured him about this in 7x04) will be like#âuhm babe you wanting to be friends with my friends is giving me the ick?â#like whats the logic here#i'll eat my words if 911 can spin this as relationship drama i will#but im also certain this is not going the way you guys think it will#if anything the most logical follow up to this is tommy connecting with these people more as he desires and it being a good thing for both#tommy's character and bucktommy's relationship#ok rant over#911#bucktommy#tevan#kinley#edit: the only think i can think of is if he feels neglected bc say buck needs to make time for someone else but even that doesn't make#sense because buck NEVER neglected his love interests and tommy is literally friends with all these ppl to a degree so he'd arguably#understand it more than any of his exes (none of whom had any problems with buck#'s relationships within the 118)#i think you're just ignoring the context of these scenes because they paint the bigger picture of tommy being fully accepting of these#relationships so unless something changes drastically (an external thing making him feel insecure about it/buck going too ooc and#neglecting his significant other entirely etc.) i dont see how this can be a problem#mimi.txt

the artbook saying they planned on having Cole in da4 to give a compassionate voice wanting to help Solas navigate through his pain and supporting him in front of Rook and the companions, only for the final product to literally just be "bashing Solas hours because he's such a loser for always being alone and he's to blame for literally everything (rightfully so or not)" just fills me with an intense sorrow i will never recover from.
#specifically relating a lot to Solas' loneliness and the despair that comes with it and the guilt and all#only to hear literally every characters in da4 calling him a loser for it#& for the ending being to punish him because how dare you try to fix your mistakes. just go into prison alone (unless romanced) and repent.#'you're free from Mythal' they say by forcing him to give up on something he did rebelling against her bc Mythal tells him to stop#and im supposed to be satisfied with that#genuinely this deep sorrow in my heart will never truly heal#it's one thing that they framed Solas as a villain who had to be stopped#it's another how they are utterly always ruthlessly mocking his vulnerable side to show he's inherently a failure of a man#da4 needed Compassion more than anything else and they scrapped him in the development phase#instead the spirits representing da4 are Spite and Curiosity#for a game and protagonist who's insultingly uncurious for the game that reveals so many mysteries hinted at in the three previous games#but sure seems spiteful about the messy legacy the saga has left them with and just decided to just erase everything controversial instead#head in hands#i wanted to have fun reading Solas' lines but i'm just filled with sorrow again#what was Cole's quote about it again#'Solas-- bright and sad-- observes and accepts. Spirit self-- seeing the soul. Solas-- but somehow sorrows'#ichasalty#ichablogging davg#ichatalks about da

thinking about this sequence of neil and andrew's interactions over the course of the king's men:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c5e7ee6a26036dbba3ab0134b2e78371/870e0b04f661468a-63/s540x810/c6d06de2df1183a764b89e960dc71668c664f623.jpg)
- where it began with neil trying to be honest with how much andrew meant to him and about what was slowly happening between them, and andrew was ready with a reply denying he feels anything (positive) towards neil.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f13297636df0afc80de17e315458b2cc/870e0b04f661468a-9d/s540x810/5bfae2bd170ee10d42f0717d1cb08a3b958a083b.jpg)
- the same happening few more times, in different variations of important revelations ...
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1c042ccd9dd8c1d1ec0f790aaab52d42/870e0b04f661468a-60/s540x810/04ce52ce8d56f86c661d67667bcadf0be1c54b0c.jpg)
- until andrew's replies slowly lost any real bite, and neil understood what they actually mean.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1548ba0587fdbe30f723a2d78c5ca158/870e0b04f661468a-51/s540x810/81a147c7a9da40b264a5234d4974ccb54a555527.jpg)
- to the point where neil knew that andrew wasn't telling him the truth (not that he would push him, it probably amused him what next will andrew say).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/aacd075cc999508682df63ae82e914ab/870e0b04f661468a-3f/s540x810/02934f944980da0b815cf1601ea5123780a8a77b.jpg)
- until andrew didn't argue with neil's words at all. and that silence spoke more louder to him than anything.
(in neil josten's voice: i'm fine (lying đđ).)
#having this revelation 7 years after i first read the series only bc i decided to reread lmaoo#i finished that book and left staring at that last page until i understood what that 'silence' meant and had to reread this part#and then had to make this bc oh my god.. its like andrew has been telling him all along how much he cares for him but in his language#and thankfully its a language neil can speak now probably fluently ;-;#but just that the silence left neil feeling so many things?? what it meant for andrew not to say anything else#just accept that yes - he did actually liked neil (and in that silence was all their confessions and love they couldnt spoke out loud)#;-; im rlly fine (not)#tfc#all for the game#aftg#andreil#neil josten#andrew minyard#the foxhole court

lil extras for the free day
#witch hat tag#orufrey#orufreyweek2023#gotta put these silly things here now đ¤Śââď¸ cause the remaining prompt to catch up is not a happy one so it should go somewhere else..#didnt end up doing anything that pushed my limits after all..but that's ok. since i've felt pretty depressed lately this week was my treat#i def feel like i get less likes & RTs overall on twt recently even tho my followers increase. are ppl sick of my stuff ?? :')#but i myself feel pretty ok about my art atm...so i guess it's fine. my fics have never gotten the hits/kudos i've ever hoped for#so i've accepted that this is how it is for me. i see LOTS of ppl stress about that kinda stuff and i don't wanna be like that..#i'll just keep on keeping on. creating has been pretty satisfying lately when im NOT depressed abt other stuff#and i do get fulfilling comments <3

Gender undefined feels like the best descriptor for how I see reguri. They're lesbians. Not girls. Not boys. Another unspecified things. She/him green and any pronouns red. They're pretty masc presenting but it doesn't really matter to either of them how they're viewed.
#growinf up green was very unhappy that how he saw himself differed from how other ppl saw him/expected him to be#goes along with his masking and desperate attempt to fit in and be liked#he probablt envied a little that in his mjnd red didn't havw to deal with it#not rhat red doesn't struggle with anyrhing but to green red has always seemed nonchalant and unbothred#partly due to reds flat affect and that red struggles to express jt when something is bothering him.#i do think red wojld particularly struggle less with his gender/sexuality. like being pretty easily accepting of hismelf#rather than greens inner dilemma of âthis doesn't feel right but its how everyone else views me/expects of meâ#red is used to being seen as odd and only really cares what his mom and green think so if atrangers s#strangers* see him a certain way it has no impact on bis self image#idk if im explaining kt right.#but i was similar i didnt really have a period of ânooo i cant be gay/nonbinary...thats wrong.â or anything. which i knkw is lucky.#i did have comphet and a phase where i identified as a tboy but that was just part jf#of the journey. the compet was a bit annoying and held out fkr longer bht i was pretty easily understandjng that#societys jdea of Girl. made me uncomfortable.#green has no such luck unfortunately.#reguri

idk man but i think theres such a connection between will being possessed in s2 and like 'what happens when my boy is gone' and will giving the painting to mike under el's name. just like... will being replaced and then replacing himself. and like his entire person was being replaced by the mf, but also everything that he said was from el with the painting and speech was intrinsically his and his alone. and how his arc since s1 has been about hiding but also being right there. and how its all tied to his queerness. and how ideally in s5 this should lead to will not hiding/moving on from his identity and his feelings, but instead embracing them.
#like what happens when will has given away/up everything that he is. hes already Come Back Wrong and he just like. keeps removing himself#from things. even after it was done To him by the mf/vecna. and like the only people who can 'bring him back' are jonathan mike and joyce#ship of theseus moment (not really)#but also really. i mean idk about actual philosophy but will is the heart of the show like its literally about how people love him so much#and like. his identity and queerness is to integral to it all. and like okay some of his parts were replaced but the love brought him back#time and time again and it will in s5 too.#or whatever that means idk#which is also why will should kiss mike. not the other way round. and i will die on this hill even after it doesnt happen#and also why will just moving on and 'accepting' his feelings are unrequited would be a dogshit resolution to his arc with mike but wtv...#what im trying to say is in s5 will not hiding and being loved and not replacing himself with anything else and kissing boys is not just#smth that should happen bc he deserves happiness. but smth necessary to complete his arc. okay? okay#will byers#byler#i feel like ive made this post 5 times before but its just smth i feel very strongly about sorry#wheww... category 5 will byers moment.#me vs being coherent and concise#mine

such is the tale of a â¨chronically online hypocriteâ¨
#(please forgive this old folkâs rambling for a hot min bc i need to get this off my chest somehow and in some way)#tl;dr: come and get into the hw idol series!!! we have ship discourse; more ship discourse; even more ship discourse#(yes ik people should be free to ship what they do b u t claiming a noncanon ship as canon and forcing it on everyone else is. not cool.)#yes yes fridayâs mv was visually cute and ino.rinâs singing was peak b u t i feel like it has caused more harm than good in some way???#i cant b e l i e v e the jp hwtwt beef over fridayâs mv is still going on mannnnnnnnn#no less than 3 separate people have made posts along the lines of#âp l s stop using [official tags] to post about *[unnamed] non-official ships* p l s thereâs a time and place for everythingâ#and n o n e of them even remotely run in the same circles yet theyâre all banded together against a *certain* group lmfao never change hwtwt#lhy (esp yhy) shippers are always at the scene of the crime mannnnnnn#i cant see anything on their end of the naval battle (has every single lhy tag+account that i could think of blocked)#b u t itâs still really funny to witness on my twtdash against my will. i think i need to touch grass#âkyhn isnât canon either so why do you like it while being such a hater towards lhyââ#great question!!!!!! itâs bc (disregarding the movie) they actually interact really well together~~~ like the honeypre event y kâ#and also bc yukki treats hina really nicely all the time (even when she was being tsun and literally running from her feelings for him)#a n d hina loved him for who he truly was; even before his image change arc. and she also does her best to appeal to him and such~~~~~~~#but lhy. uh. they just bully hiyo 95% of the time and while they do look out for her bc theyâre pals#theyâre just pals. guys. and lxl have gone âuwu it must be u uwuâ to each other one too many times so shoehorning hiyo between them would.#be pretty weird ngl? esp since the âwidely acceptedâ portrayal of lhy as a trio is p much just hiyo x 2 dudes who dont even like each other#and. like. a branch of such portrayals usually seem to have aizo waft away from the âr/s triadâ to date mona instead which is. very weird.#some people just pick and choose aizo and mona interactions dont they. all they see is the umbrella scene and go âah yes. canonâ#they dont even read further to see how mona doesnât even use the umbrella after aizo leaves (clear rejection)#a n d how aizo doesnât even remember giving the umbrella to mona + monaâs entire existence in general after that#and thatâs not even counting the grudge mona refuses to let go of even after what looks to be literal months#so for certain shippers to just casually shoo aizo out of the hiyoharem and into monaâs unwilling arms for the sake of yhy is. weird.#and like. shouldnât he and yujiro have a say in this?? theyâre more interested in each other than hiyo so just how are they being commonly#portrayed as hiyosimps in fanon? im so confused⌠like. wouldnât they be equally obsessed with each other (as w/ hiyo) if they were a rstrio?#aaaaaa get this off my twtdash plsssssssss pls see this post twtapp pls let this affect your dumb algorithm im tired of the ship discourseee#as funny as the âlhy vs the worldâ naval warfare is itâs getting. um. very annoying!!!! and now im missing nagisa more than ever s o b s#plsplsplsplsplsplsplsplspls influence the algorithm ragepost; ik big brother is đwatchingđ so do your thingâ#(pls feel free to duke it out with me too if yâall read this i need my birdsite algorithm to le a r n that i dont wanna see stuff like this)

sigh.
#i hate. being at all rational ornpolite sometimes.#cus like#my sister that i hate called to apologize. about things i frankly don't even care about at this point.#and i let her bc while i don't particularly want her to be actively in my life or see or at all very often#i can acknowledge that it is good that she is TRYING to figure her shit out even a little#and while it is FAR from what she SHOULD be apologizing to me about#at least its. a step?#maybe one that will lead to her either figuring it or building up to the actual problem#so i accepted that apology and moved on#but i told my other sister about it and she's just.#'i would've hung up immediately. i would've cussed her out'#ok. 1. thats your own decision but not how i handled it. though ik shell be annoyed if i say anything to imply that#that is a terrible way to respond. and like shes entitled to her anger in not saying she doesnt have a good reason for it#but damn dude. chill.#and 2. what would that even accomplish. like. what would that do.#it would demotivate her to work on her shit and like i get that sister 2 doesnt ever want to see sister 1 again#(again. she has valid reason and im not blaming her for that)#but like. that would only grow the circle of violence. it would end up with more people being hurt than have already been.#and frankly its fucking immature as shit lmao#sorry.#i have to actually go reasons to sister 2 now im just#sometimes i get annoyed when i remember my mom telling me that she genuinely forgets im the youngest#bc it means that she has always treated me like i was older than i was and put more on me than anyone else#but then i have situations like this.#and i go yeah. YEAH. i can see how i am more mature than my siblibgs to the point that the woman who GAVE BIRTH TO US#will sometimes FORGET THE ORDER OF THAT#shh ac

low-coherency rambling in the tags
#the thing about IPL is thatâ at least as far as i see itâ they've essentially been propagating and encouraging an auteur myth regarding him#which is nothing new or unique to them; i think that people (audiences) naturally want to ascribe some Great Man Theory to everything#it's hard to conceptualize the fact that almost anything that comes from a ''studio'' will be the product of collaboration#people naturally want to personify things and attach a human face to what they like#and studios (whether game or whatever else) will indulge this by generally seeming to pick one or maybe two people (often men)#to essentially be the main ''face'' or ''spokesperson'' for the product. it's branding.#and it has an effect even if people obviously are aware that someone isnt the ONLY person who's hands touch a work#i see it in the way people take this very personal parasocial tone in how they talk about the creators they like#which is just a subset of the problem of parasociality in general but in this case i mean how they basically put these people on a pedestal#because they seem them as singularly responsible for creating Thing They Liked because of the aforementioned spokesmanship#i've seen it in how people talk about (and talk to) j sawyer and chris avellone as if they're singularly responsible for fallout#anthony burch and borderlands 2. christian linke and arcane#robert kurvitz and disco elysium (but to be very clear im not saying that makes cutting him out of his own intellectual property acceptable#fucking i don't know.... jeff kaplan and overwatch lmao#and very much with dybowski and pathologic. like the kind of memes i saw people make about him and the personal way they'd refer to him#BUT that pretty much all stopped after 2021 or so at least in the fandom spaces i saw#because i suppose people realized that whether those rumors and allegations were true or not that they did not really know this person#no matter how much they liked ''his'' game. and that he might not be a good person at all.#which is good. i think people should take that kind of ambivalence by default instead of getting parasocially attached to anyone#especially to one lead figure out of an entire studio#and then winding up distraught and disappointed when it turns out their fave did something bad#like be distraught for victims sure. but don't tell yourself you understand this person because their fiction spoke to you#and you won't wind up feeling personally betrayed.#i'm rambling big time but basically i hope people start taking this view more#because among other things. putting these people on pedestals and singling them out as auteurs gives them social power#which allows some of them to engage in the awful behavior that leaves fans feeling betrayed in the first place#and i hope that studios and creators stop leaning into it too#if it really is true that dybowski is barely involved with the IP anymore then IPL should say that.#don't prop him up as the face just because he's the one everyone knows#maybe they think it'll get backlash if anyone but him is said to be writing the game because of how much they leaned into him as the auteur
