#just something I've been thinking about

Sadly, no one can convince me otherwise that Sonia Kaspbrak didn't know Richie was gay. She knew about the rumors with Beverly. What if she knew about the gay rumors with Richie?

So romcom check? ✅️

Meet cute - Stealing an LAFD helicopter together

Connecting - Shoulder touch, harbour tour

Jealousy - RIP to Eddie's ancles

Getting together - Heavy flirting then first kiss, awkward first date from hell

Second chance - coffee date, hospital kiss

Honeymoon period - vision in a cone

Falling in love - "My own boyfriend wont even kiss me" "Please lift it" "Could you see a future there? - I could!" "Why be apart when we can be together?" "You'll end up breaking my heart, and I don't know if I could deal with that"

Breaking up for a nonsensical reason, which is common and i hate it, because i hate the miscommunication trope with every inch of my body.

Pining era - Depression bakery, #TommyBubblesBuck

thinking about the dead pixel,, thinking about jimmy

thinking about how anya will always know it's there, will always be able to see it

thinking about how curly says he can't see it because he's focused on everything as a whole, the big picture, and in the big picture it's barely noticable

but to anya it'll always be there, that one dead pixel

I never understood the Two-In-One shampoo hate, I look at both bottles, and they have the same ingredients. It's not like they're canceling each other out

Thinking of some Big Gay Kisses of the last few years.

Rebecca Sugar made that happen, at considerable personal and professional cost, because she loves us.

The SPOP writers made that happen, and seemed like they had a great time doing it, because they love telling their queer stories.

Neil Gaiman made that happen, with no associated personal or professional risk, because he wanted us to love him.

One of the things I'm looking forward to most when I get to heaven is the freedom. I will be able to behave according to the truth with no other strings attached. No societal pressure, no false beliefs of my own, no external mold that I have to fit in. I won't be held back by my sin or shame; I will be free. The laws of God will be plain to see, unobscured by finite intellect, and I can live according to those rules and only those rules.

Its so weird to me how people have taken certain words and decided they can only pertain to mental health. The biggest example I've seen is narcissism but there are others too. While yes a narcissist may be referring to a person with narcissistic personality disorder, that's not the only meaning. You can be a narcissist by just being full of yourself, you don't have to have the disorder. I keep seeing people, especially on tiktok, saying things like people can't be a narcissist if they don't have NPD, and it bugs me especially since its also almost never people who actually have NPD saying this.

Okay okay so imma say something that's going to ruffle some feathers

But after the initial shock of seeing the a minecraft movie trailer

I've thought about it and it's not *that bad* but there's definitely things that could've been done differently. (THEY DID THE ANIMALS SO DIRTY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE FARM ANIMALS DERPY JFC)

I feel like with how much effort was put into the animation they should've gone full animated. I get the whole jack black+video game isekai worked in the past but the man's looks tired and a voice over would've been just fine.

Granted this is a movies targeted (presumably) towards kids. It's going to have kid humor and try to appeal to them. Do I like the realistic texture pack on the film? Absolutely not. But I also remember when I was young and would watch realistic minecraft playthroughs.

But the bottom line is: this is Warner Brothers we are talking about. The same company who shelves movies and shows just to pocket a little extra cash from the tax write off. It *might* have been doomed from the start. Corporate most likely didn't want to put in effort and they probably didn't ask anyone or research anything about the community around the game.

I feel that people who spread the word about people who do this and that (or some other reason) deserve to be killed, robbed or any other brutal/ violent action are part of the reason why we live in such a dystopian society. You think you make a change with identifying, categorizing and blaming the victim and the one guilty but what you really do is seperate and create even more diversion in the world. Even if it is just a spoken or written word, ☝🏼words are very powerful. There is a reason for the sentence „Think before you speak“ and i think this sentence is even more relevant today than ever. Especially when nowadays everyone can hide behind their device or fake profile.

Always remember we are all humans. Yes, there are monsters in this world. But if you fight violence with violence you will just create more violence.

One huge thing that’s helped with my self-perception is when I’m beating up on my body or skills or such, look back and ask “would I criticise someone else this way?” And most often the answer is “No!!! I don’t think X person is ugly and fat, and they’re heavier-set than me. I don’t think Y person has an annoying voice! It’s unique. Do I think this newly learning artist’s stuff is ugly? No! It’s rather cute and they’re building a style.”

So yeah, sometimes you need to treat yourself the way you treat other people. :)

The longer I've been in this fandom, the more I realize that Ace Attorney doesn't just have a trend of terrible fathers, they also have a lack of good mothers.

Like sure you have your Mr. Winners and your Isaac Dovers; but you also have dads like Gregory, Jeff Masters, "Big Wins" Kitaki, and Damian Tenma.

On the mom's side, we have Plum and technically Bikini as she did raise Iris. That's about it.

Here's a morsel of truth for you. If Dean ever became genuine friends with another angel, Cas would become so sick with jealousy he would NOT be able to keep it together even 2 sentences of Dean saying anything nice about them. In a way that he wouldn't with a human Dean got close to.

Oh, so they get to be a fully powered angel, AND have the esteem of angel society, AND have Dean's affection AND are probably more useful to him than Cas can be (due to point one) AND don't have the guilt of the ages. Cas would be SICK. He'd be as rude to their face as he can (until Dean goes 🥺 can't you just try to get along 🥺 for me? 🥺 👉👈 you know I like you better) and make a lot of pointed comments about how he and Dean have a profound bond and history and he'd find excuses to keep them away from Dean on hunts (which often backfires because then Cas has to hang out with them without Dean, and he can't stand them). He'd make a scene. He'd 'double check' if they ever healed Dean (which could only happen if Cas wasn't there bc Cas would not be shy about physically pushing them aside to heal Dean first) by holding his hand to Dean's forehead and staring deeply into his eyes for way too long, giving him so much Grace his skin gets a little magnetised for a week.

Dean. Btw. Would not help. He notices this early on and, unfortunately for Cas, thinks it's cute, funny, hot and harmless and also gratifying to have Cas get so protective and borderline stalkery over him. He'd absolutely egg this on by getting more touchy-feely with the other angel only when he knows Cas is watching, and feigns obliviousness ("but why would that bother you? We're just talking." And Cas barely understands his own negative reaction to the other angel and he and Dean aren't dating at all so has no rebuttal). Obviously if push came to shove and Cas talkes about how he feels like he needs to be Useful to be Family and that his place is being usurped Dean would reassure him and probably snog him but before that Dean would have a lot of fun.

However this would never happen because Dean hates all other angels specifically for how they chose to be part of the system Cas bravely rebelled against, didn't see it for what it was or did and didn't care, they value their power and status over all of humanity, AND they HURT CAS which is unconscionable to Dean. So he wouldn't be friends with a full powered angel, and Castiel would be infinitely less jealous of a fallen one. So. Phew!! Lucky on that count, Castiel!!!

saw a post that said that elena was a bit dense for trying the "you don't have to do this" approach on kai, when he was clearly enjoying torturing her, and adding onto that, does she not think that he probably "gets off" to her pleading + saying his name over and over?? because i rewatched 6x11 and 6x12, and she uses his name constantly. like, she's probably hoping to catch his attention better, but she has his attention already. he's been isolated for 18 years with NOTHING. no one calling him, no one saying anything. it probably eggs him on more every time.

I saw this recently and just now started thinking. "What really is Love?" It feels so wonderful and nice, but if used in the wrong way it can hurt. How does one even fall in love? Is it by looking at someone and enjoying their presence, enjoying how they act towards you? Or is it, that you want to be like them, study them, be them? Is it perhaps that you want to better yourself, but don't notice it until you're "head over heels"? Is love a feeling or thing the human mind will ever be able to full grasp and explain? There are so many ways it is described as out there, it makes me wonder, is Love equal to everyone? Or can Love be painful and harsh for one but warm and comforting for the other? Is there really such a feeling that we are able to call "Love"? It is such an interesting topic but I fear that love is so deep and cruel at the deep bottom of the human mind, that one would perhaps not like to figure out what it really is.

After seeing David Tennant's recent (and past) wardrobe choices at red carpets and the BAFTAs, I have been wondering a few things about men's formal wear.

I am intrigued by this designer Joshua Kane and wonder if his style of modernizing the past and personalization can bring men's (and everyone else's) formal style to the future.

I've felt that men's fashion is stuck in a rut and many designers have tried to drag it kicking and screaming out of that rut. This can be seen more easily when looking at red carpet photos among a mass of black jackets and white shirts adjacent colorful creative dresses. But, also in the act of searching for fashion in history when only women's fashion is returned.

In the late 2010s to 2022, with the rise of wearing a skirt or open chested jackets, men's fashion saw a jolt of excitement. These trends seem to be dying down in favor of the more traditional or toned down acts of rebellion.

I am intrigued by Joshua Kane because his style seems to be incorporating older styles, such as the embellishments, patterns and some silhouettes of the Rococo era, among others.

The fitted jackets and vests, of the early 19th century, before it all turned a bit drab, were flattering for the most part. I see some reflection of this era in Mr. Kane's styles. Take the most flattering aspects of both eras, modernize them and you have something interesting and special. And, fits for different personalities, bodies and occasions. Not to mention, being able to draw from all of the rebellious acts of fashion in the past century. Lots of choices!

I get this feeling that Joshua Kane's innovation could take off. I am no expert by any means, just a fan of fashion. My information is based on my observations and the small amount of accumulated knowledge. I realize most of my examples are from Europe and the US, but that is where my knowledge lies.

The marriage of old styles and new from all over is both innovative and helpful for all genders. But, also having a choice! I saw the gorgeous pieces he styles for his wife as well as celebrities such as Brandi Carlile. Why must black tie literally mean a black tie for some but not others based on sex? On the other hand, I could just be hopeful and it is another fad.

I wonder why Watcher doesn't do pod highlights on tiktok. That's like 101 on podcast promo. Post the most out of context dialogue points and have people in the comments clamouring for context by way of a quick link to a full episode.

Personally, I'd post Steven's deadpan "I don't think it's good. I think it's bad," declaration wrt mugs.

Don't they want people listening? Anyway I assume it's because Ryan is worried that Charles Melton will tune in and listen to 20 min of semi reluctant fan-boying.
