#keeping up with tina

[letterstotheflre]

men with soft bellies. women with hairy arms. men with acne scars. women with a tooth gap. women whose love handles poke out when they wear low rise jeans or bikinis. women with stretch marks. yeah <3

[eeclare]

I love that the only reason Zeke continues to be the Mad Pooper(tm) is because he wants to give Tina her story as a reporter. That’s so romantic why won’t my bf poo for me

[thelemonsnek]

half baked malevolent au because i havent been able to get this podcast out of my head

[image id: four drawings on one sketchpage. The first is of Ingo, newly fallen to Hisui, staring off into the distance. A shadowy Giratina looms over his shoulder. To the side of this drawing, Ingo looks up angrily, saying "I don't think 'inner demons' was supposed to be this literal.' Giratina, not pictured, says, "sorry?" Another drawing shows Ingo smiling and peace-signing, while Giratina does the same behind him. The last drawing shows Ingo and Emmet reuniting - Ingo stares out in shock, unmoving, while Emmet runs at him, arms outstretched for a hug. Giratina looks frantically between the two, going "WHAT THE FUCK". End id]

demon girl tina who shaves her horns down, who tries to be everything a demon isn’t. never angry, never pressed, sweet and easygoing. perfect in every sense of the term. who’s traumatized from purgatory, who’s afraid of losing what she loves as much as she’s afraid of being shunned by who she loves for what she is. for all the imperfections that fracture her perfect image. who craves trust, a place to belong, the secret of who she is just bubbling under the surface, shaved down and hidden just underneath the cat ears she wears.

human girl bagi who embraces imperfection, who loves with loyalty and longevity. who would go to the ends of the earth for her loved ones, knowing their worst sins, their terrible crimes, and going I will love you anyway. I will be there for you anyway. who’s best friend is a demon, who she knows is a demon, who she met at his worst, and wouldn’t let him go through it alone. who understands the importance of secrets, which means she knows the value of honesty, and is ready to lay out all her truths once she cares about someone enough, trusts them enough.

tina getting flighty and nervous when she’s told that it’s love what bagi feels - not because she doesn’t feel the same, but because she does, and it’s all she’s ever wanted, and isn’t that just terrifying? because she doesn’t think she fully deserves it. not yet at least! and she doesn’t want to lose it. imperfect, clumsy, secretly a demon tina, still processing purgatory and everything that came before, so afraid because she believes she can’t measure up. once she’s worked on herself, once she’s perfect, she says. once she stops panicking at purgatory flashbacks, once she stops losing her temper, once she can provide stability, once she’s shaved her horns and they stop growing back - then she’ll be ready. as soon as she’s made herself into something easily lovable.

bagi listens to tina as she spills some of this to her, under the moonlight along the beach. not quite all her worries, but some, just like she had given not quite her whole heart, but a part of it, in that room that represents bagi’s mind. and bagi doesn’t press for more than what she’ll give, because she cherishes what has been given already, because she’s in no rush and has no where else to go, because above all else, she’s in love and willing to wait. and in the meantime, she’ll reassure tina that she doesn’t want perfection - she just wants tina the way she is.

[mmyashas]

jealousy

[royalarchivist]

Bagi: Yeah, he got mad today 'cuz- 'cuz I was telling him that if I have to save someone- I mean, if I have to choose, I would probably just save you and Pac, in this Island.

Tina: [In a very small high-pitched voice] You would really do that?

Bagi: Of course!

Tina: I would save you too! Out of anybody else!

Bagi: Thank you!

[tinakitchen]

i dont usually consider myself a cellbithead because if i compare the hours ive spent watching him to the hours ive spent watching mouse, tina, bagi, foolish, and roier, its nothing. but thats not because i dont spend a lot of time watching him. its because i spend an unreasonable amount of hours watching the others 😭i actually watch a lot of cellbit to be honest. his streams rule. i should post about him more

[tunakitchen]

still devastated and grieving over tina and bagi being eliminated.☹️ but at least it was on the same day

[letterstotheflre]

he asked me to go to a football match w him today but i couldn’t go and he ended up going with a friend from university. a female friend.

[ID: Two tweets from Jessica Ellis @baddestmamajama:

One more thing I adored in THE BEAR is the way it quietly reinforces, over and over, that what we think of as "skills" and "talents" are actually things someone else has taken time to teach us.

From Carmy and Syd's "I'm sorry" gesture to Marcus learning to quenelle, the whole season is a tribute to how we are a product of what we're taught - good and bad - and how much good teaching can reshape our lives. It's a screed against the idea of a self-made, lone genius.]

[demodraws0606]

I'll be honest people are being way too trusting of q!BBH right now simply because he said something that was mildly true to q!Tina.

I've seen so many people in chat saying "oh he trusts her, he isn't manipulating her"

Which like, by definition he very much is even if unintentionally.

He isn't telling her the whole truth of his plans and clearly has motivation to get her on his side. There might be a genuine desire for friendship and trusts there but it's tainted by his plan.

Most of what he revealed to her wasn't even that incriminating anyway, it's more of the same thing he told Fred and Tubbo. The whole "i'm grieving and i'm hurting so that's why i'm lashing out" shit.

Even if he's looking out for Tina, I do think he might have some underlying secondary motive behind this interaction.

[thoughtfulchaos773]

I might be way off, but I'm thinking about the biggest critique this season, and it's very valid. I didn't like it when the chefs were talking about their obligation to make lives better at the end - their experience- their purpose. It took me outside the show for a bit.

BUT ALSO

While the table is discussing their love for their work and their purpose, Carmy is looking at the guy who was partially to blame for his life outside of work coming to a stop. While they're talking about cooking and their signature dishes, he's thinking about his sole reason was making something with Mikey - something that will be theirs. He had a completely different reason than everyone else, who just mostly wanted recognition and to provide service.

We step out of that world - I cringe every time I watch, to be honest. Thank God we go back to Chef Terry, who has decided not to make work her whole life anymore. She is now choosing to prioritize making connections with new people over being the best, and she's choosing to live her life outside of work.

While Richie is asking questions not about being inspired at work but experiencing a fulfilling life outside the industry.

Then you have Sydney, who wants to make a name for herself in the industry, but she's walking along the same path as Carmy with the whole loneliness thing, making work everything.

So it leaves me wondering what will happen in the end. Is it all about balance? Is that the secret? It seems that connection is the real secret, especially from what Chef Terry says. it's about the relationships you have in your life that make it all worth it.
