caitlin criticism from uconn stans on this app is SO disingenuous it’s laughable. they say she hasn’t grown the game and act like she’s a mediocre player😭 plus so many use the harassment of other players as a “gotcha” for CC to talk about paige, instead of actually caring at all about how it effects the players. i’m convinced most of it comes from them being upset caitlin is talked about more than paige and they just pretend to take the moral high ground.
alright this is my first and probably last post on them because i've always held the opinion that it's counterproductive to post about someone you dislike
uconn have been the epicenter of women's basketball for the past 20+ years so i truly don't know how you see the monopoly they had on the sport for so long and hate on other players getting attention. they were the center of what i like to call the worst period of women's college basketball in the mid-2010s when at some point all top3 draft picks belonged to uconn. the 'lack' of media coverage is largely reflective of how they've lost that stronghold they've had on the game in a way (this is what we like to call parity)...and with the game growing media coverage now is mostly reliant on which narratives are more interesting to the general public. and i'm sorry but a high scoring phenom taking an underrated program to heights haven't seen in years is always going to be more interesting to people than an established dynasty with 5 mcdonalds all-americans finding success. it will be the same with juju for the next 3 or so years as well
i really appreciate paige speaking out on that issue but to me by bringing it up as a gotcha like you said....all it's doing it further centering white players which does the exact opposite of what she spoke up for. tbh you could say the same with cam or even caitlin with her saying she doesn't stand for people pushing agendas in her name. and most of the time on here when i see people bring it up the people in question are either 1) not black or 2) rarely speak about black/poc players (even on their own favorite team). so the general premise is valid but with alot of these people (not all of them) it comes off as weaponizing an issue as serious as racism in the industry to make them feel better about their favorite player. which to be frank, gives me the ick.
i have nothing against uconn btw some of my favorite players come from there (breanna, napheesa, sue, etc and i love aaliyah...hell KLS is a uconn alum). just speaking my thoughts

obsessed with how rose and donna just “let go” of the metacrisis and that ten/fourteen never thought of that because he’s “male presenting.” it’s the most lazy way to fix the metacrisis problem while equally making no sense at all. peak doctor who 10/10 never change

Theory: The Clone X was not Cody like some people think or even Fives (I know he's been dead for a very long time but so was Boba Fett and look where we are. Plus, Echo was supposed to be certainly dead too; making him Winter Soldier-esque storyline wouldn't be that surprising) or not even Slick.
((Also, now that we've seen his face devoid of any tattoos or scars I think first two takes are definitely not applicable anymore; they wouldn't put that much effort to make him unrecognizable))
Back to the point: In my opinion, The Clone X was none other than...
Fox.
Now let me explain.
Who else, other than X, was loyal to the law and justice dictated by it over any moral or ethic code?
Fox.
Who else was portrayed with such single-minded focus on hunting down traitors of the government he served, regardless of what it was?
Fox.
Who else could know not only Coruscant so well but also identify Rex like they knew each other?
He already was a remarkably successful tracker of traitors, why not make him more efficient by pointing them out for him?
Good soldiers follow orders, after all.

I used to think that most people had more sense before I got into this fandom because the way people just completely disregard Louis' (and Claudia's) blackness in a show that is an adaptation of a book where the main character owned 2 plantations and hunted slaves for food while talking about his hatred and fear of those he enslaved is like incredible. And to not understand that the show is taking aspects of its source material to task. And to come in with such a superficial understanding of how gothic romance is depicted in Western media, to imply that Louis being put into a role that is almost always taken up by white women is something that's to just connect to a more common audience? Like do you hear yourself? And I KNOW many of yall don't engage with black gay art I KNOW you don't listen to us and often think us outside of queer experience but at some point you are going to need to contend with the fact that there might be something deliberate with the way Louis talks about his relationship with Lestat. The way Claudia interacts with him vs Lestat before and after ep 5. The words she uses to describe the two of them. The books and art put on screen. The costume design. At some point you need to realize you don't know what the fuck you talking about

On a scale of one to ten how emotional was readers reaction seeing megumi alive again
8.7 but she never really believed that he was gone. call her crazy but her son isn’t going to blindly submit to some manic gym bro from the heian era
megumi takes back his body and she’s basically jumping up and down with yuji and applauding. a standing ovation for her son, obviously.
and then later she goes home and cries herself to sleep because a. she’s really proud of him and b. the world is a terrible terrible place

Give me Nicky creating a video full of blurry photos and awkward 2000s transitions for Neil's bday (not the actual one, the 31st of March one) with the "Bitch" song by meredith Brooks.
Lyrics come up, "I'm a bitch" and it's a still of Neil roasting on press duty
"Im a lover" Neil stealing a glance at Andrew, a small smile on his face
"Im a child" photo taken from high angle of Neil looking up at the camera, indignation all over his face, a granola bar in his mouth
"Im a mother" Neil pointing at Kevin chewing him out while Kev is saying sth arms crossed on his chest (or better yet, Kevin and Jean walking to opposite directions but there's a leash around their chest that Neil is holding)
"Im a sinner" shot of Neil eating pinneaple on Pizza and Matt and Dan looking horrified and disgusted on the background
"Im a saint" meme of the cat with the dozen knifes at its throat but on the face of the cat is a poorly cropped picture of Neil raising his eyebrow

Yall are misunderstanding somthing, the top sam/bottom dean appeal aint just about sam being bigger physically or the whole how hes more aggressive in bed canonically (those are fun points too tho)
Its about toppy, confident, no chick flick moments, ladies man, masculinity so in your face it comes across as a performance, i must protect my brother at all costs Dean Winchester getting dicked down real good, having him let go and let himself get taken care of and held yunno? Or put in his place, that works too😗 (also putting down the strong man mask behind closed doors)
S1 sammy? bratty for sure, and bratty bottom sam is very tasty, but bratty TOP sam fucking his older brother is a friggin delicacy to me ok😤
ANYWAYS im just sayin
im a sucker for characters like dean getting fucked in the ass and rimmed till they cry what can i say

Wait hold on, in his anniversary video Barbatos mentions the mc being the brother's attendant?
But in the other videos, it's implied that they don't remember the mc leaving (which is actually something im very disappointed about and really hope isnt the case in the actual story)
In these two specifically, it seems like they aren't aware of the mc's presence in the past/alternate timeline/whatever it is. The only other person who seems like they know is Lucifer
Which also lines up with the end of lesson 40, where he's the only one who says welcome back? So like?? Do only him and Barbatos know? Did they not tell anyone?? Diavolo would probably know as well but I haven't seen anything to show that yet. Anyways I don't really like where this is going, I would really prefer they not make everyone forget the mc disappeared
