miles is not the most articulate he can possibly be in spanish yeah but he literally knows the word order grammar structure all that intuitively he just . doesn't know all the words ! that doesn't mean he's hopeless at spanish bro

[toddtakefive]

thinking about todd and his resolve toward… not quite isolation, but being alone in a room full of people again. he goes along to the study room to sit on his own and do his homework, he sits at the poets table and follows along with what’s being said while keeping quiet, he goes to the meetings at all but doesn’t necessarily contribute (in fact, if you watch him when cameron is telling the story ‘from camp in sixth grade’, you can see that he recognizes it before any of the other poets but doesn’t voice it until they all have). he’s not alone, necessarily, if you want to get technical about it, he’s just lonely, and he’s generally okay with that. he doesn’t have friends and that’s fine, he doesn’t participate in class and that’s fine, he doesn’t have a relationship with his family and that’s fine—he could live without any real connection and he’d have been, more or less, fine.

the thing about when he says “i can take care of myself just fine!” is that he isn’t really wrong, you can infer that he’s been doing it his entire life anyway, it’s that ‘taking care of yourself’ isn’t the same thing as really living or being happy. todd’s an introvert, certainly, and even as he gets closer to the group he defaults to sitting quietly in the background, but he’s also denying himself community out of fear not introversion. todd isn’t friendless because he’s an introvert, although that definitely plays a part, he’s friendless because he pushes anyone that might want his company away. if anyone has every wanted for his attention in the first place. (neil’s unwavering interest in him is unique (even when it comes to the rest of the poets, who are fine with todd coming along and joining the group, but aren’t really hellbent on him being there in the beginning) and his refusal to accept it is a direct result of being so lonely growing up.)

there’s obviously something to be said about the implications of his parents neglect, and the more than likely fact that he grew up friendless, and how those both play a part in in him being so skilled at dodging social interaction/being so avoidant of it, but by the time we see him in the movie he’s all but accepted his fate as being alone his entire life. he’s already accepted being the family disappointment, and he’s already accepted he’ll never amount to anything, and he obviously doesn’t like it, but he’d have managed living with that knowledge without the confirmation that it was all wrong. would he have been miserable? almost certainly. but he’d have managed. he’d done it for that long already, anyhow.

Ya know I’m re-watching Adventure Time and I was at “Min and Marty” and was thinking

Minerva probably doesn’t even know Martin was going to come back I wonder if she thinks that Martin just took Finn and left her

I don’t know if it’s ever specified if she was aware of what happened but if she wasn’t she doesn’t know that Martin was just trying to loose track of those people that were after him and unfortunately got attacked by the Guardian. She doesn’t know that he was going to come back to her

I feel bad for her cause she comes home, her house is a wreck and her husband and son are just gone she doesn’t know where they are and she overhears the lady say that Martin got past the Guardian so all she probably thinks is given Martins history he just took Finn and abandoned her and the fact that Finn and Martin never return probably just solidifies that fear

It kinda sucks that Martin was such a deadbeat I think it would’ve been nice if he found his way back to Founders Island and him and Minerva got a second chance (even if Finn wasn’t with them for a time being)

i’m sorry who are you guys scolding on here in tim minear’s defense right now 😭 this is a genuine question

[xx0yeet-everything0xx]

percy and jason are so funny because like. on one hand in percys pov its very explicit that hes not a fan of the gods and hes really passively-aggressively sending them hints. slamming the door in lester's face? brutal, but expected.

and then jason's like. yeah no i understand my father it must be hard i guess. yeah i guess gods have their reasons. then out of fucking nowhere he's like "father you are stu- i mean unwise" like sir????? and it kills me everytime i think about it lmfao

[theflyingfeeling]

I don’t know if I’m just imagining things but I feel like Olli and Aleksi are actually so close 🥺 for example I feel like they post so many pics together and I know they post with others too and it’s not a big deal but e.g. Olli has posted 5 pics with someone else this year and 3 of them are with Aleksi.. so it must mean something right?? 🥺 and I feel like they spend a lot of time together yk even ”outside the band” when they’re having a day off and they still do music (the remix) etc. together 😭

Yeah I mean I for one am so deep in the Olli/Allu delulu land that it's VERY easy for me to agree and confirm all of this 😭 they're boyfriends secret lovers special friends and it shows 🥺

Here are all the pictures of the two of them I could find on Olli's IG, for reference 💞

+ the group picture Olli posted when Aleksi first joined the band, with the caption 'so now there's six of us' 🥺
