"Normal People": el maravilloso verano en Italia de Connell y Marianne

Entramos en el territorio del verano en Italia. Hilvano en mi hipocampo recuerdos de películas como “Una habitación con vistas” y “Call me by your name”, del verano que fui con mi hermana Laura a Florencia y Roma, de cuando ella se perdió en la basílica de San Pedro, de no poder resistirnos al tópico de mirar, embelesadas, el techo de la Capilla Sixtina, no éramos turistas, pero actuábamos como…

Normal People, Episode 1

[libraryraccoon]

A Penguin And The Angel Of Death

Gift for : @deadghosy

Gender : Penguin

Pronouns : They/Them

Message of Raccoon : I just really wanted to write Azrael with Penguin!Reader, so I try.

TW : bad english, english isn't my first language.

How you met Azrael is a mystery for everyone.

Azrael had heard about Heaven and Hell fighting over a penguin, and he decided to go check it out.

"So you're the famous Penguin." -Azrael, seeing you for the first time.

Friendship. Instantly.

He was your platonic soulmate.

I can see Azrael taking you flying with him. Imagine being a normal angel or demon, looking up and seeing the angel of death flying, holding a penguin in his arms.

The day of the trial, you and Azrael were watching everything from the sidelines, eating popcorn.

“Do you think they know you’re going to stay with me ?” -Azrael, watching the scene while eating popcorn, amused.

You made a penguin noise that can be translates as "Sshh, this is starting to get interesting." -Penguin!Reader, watching the scene like a TV novela.

Azrael speaks penguin. Don't ask how, he just do it.

"Guardship returns to.." Sera paused, either in disbelief or to be dramatic. “Azrael ?!” Certainly the first.

“Yo bitch.”

They looked at him as if they were seeing him for the first time- they hadn't even noticed him.

"WHAT ?! BUT HE DON'T EVEN KNOW THEM !" -Lute.

You worried for a second for Azrael's safety before remembering that he was the Angel of Death and that he was in no danger.

Lucifer looks at his brother, feeling betrayed that he is taking one of his children away from him.

Azrael walked out of the room with you in his arms, happy of the trial he saw today.

Azrael is like your cool dad who takes you everywhere with him and takes you wherever you want.

Azrael can go to Heaven, Hell or even Earth just with a snap of his fingers, say your destination and he'll take you there with no problem.

You often go to Hell and Heaven because you are attached to the people that are there.

Azrael only leaves you alone with Lucifer or Emily.

Lucifer is basically your uncle who babysits you all the time.

You have met Big G and the other archangels. I don't make the rules, as soon as Azrael won your guardship, he introduced you to the rest of the family.

You are the archangels' favorite nephew and Big G's favorite grandchild.

I just know that you and Big G spent hours on grandpa-grandchild outings. You go to the beach, get ice cream, play jokes on others... until Azrael comes to pick you up.

I headcanon that you help Gabriel in his work as a messenger.

It was you who passed the message of Sir Pentious being in Heaven to Charlie, telling her that redemption was possible.

It was your first message, Gabriel and Azrael were very proud of you after you managed to successfully transmit it.

They had a party to celebrate it.

No one can fuck with you.

Literally, you have Azrael, Big G and all the archangels on your side. Upsetting you/being on your bad side is a death sentence.

Lute and Adam are so disgusted that Azrael stole you - like you can feel their jealousy at 3000km/h.

Azrael just smiled at them before calling you “his son/daughter/child” in front of them just to piss them off.

And it works.

I can see Alastor trying to make a deal with Azrael for you to stay at the Hotel, Azrael just looks at him like "Really now ?"

Needless to say, it never worked and if it wasn't for you, he would have already killed the deer demon.

The angels find it adorable that the fearsome angel of death is walking around with a little Penguin, it's just too cute for them.

Family dinners are ✨️beautiful✨️

Beautiful in the sense that it's chaotic and it's never bored.

Usually family dinners are you, Big G, Azrael, Lucifer, Charlie, and the other archangels.

But one day you invited Emily, Sera, Adam and Lute to join you..

Let's say you weren't bored during all the dinner.

The best moments are those of hugs.

Hugs with Azrael are the best because he wraps his wings around you while carrying you. It's so quiet and peaceful that it puts you to sleep, which is very useful especially when you can't fall asleep.

Hugs with the whole family are... interesting ?

I mean, from the outside it looked like a mess of nameless feathers-

You are always in the middle of family hugs.

Azrael almost executed all the exterminators after learning about the extermination that was directed against the hotel when you were in it..

LET ME CANONIZE PROTECTIVE!DAD!AZRAEL.

Hello~! I hope you are having a wonderful day and I would like to humbly request a part 2 of the Velvette x reader break up seeing how reader is holding up.

Are they watching Hella Novelas as well? Do they regret the whole thing? I love Velvette and really want to see how this would be affecting both sides

-�� anon

Ice Cream

Pt 2

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel

Pairing: Velvette x Reader

C/TW: cussing

Type: Headcanons + Drabble

In which we see from readers perspective on how they’re dealing with the break up.

Pt.1 Pt.3

𓈒ㅤ��ㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Opening up sinstagram, you scrolled past numerous posts on the discovery page. It seemed every other post was about your relationship with Velvette—hells most prominent fashionista and social media influencer. You huffed upon seeing another video of speculation on the status of your relationship.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ You had deactivated your account long ago, a few hours after getting rid of all the remembrances of your previous relationship with the overlord. The memories were too much, and people speculating all the time was getting unbearable. You knew deactivation of your whole account might’ve been a bit too far, it most certainly had people talking, but you’ve seen this shit happen before;

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ High profile couple break up, people speculate, lots of talk and gossip, even months and years after it’s ended people will still talk, they’ll compare their new partners to their old partners, insist it’s a “right person, wrong time” type bullshit and just ugghhhh

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “Do people have nothing better to do with their lives?” You’d ask yourself, liking a random post using your new account—a new and more anonymous account. You had made sure to keep it as less “HEY IM Y/N” as possible as to avoid any suspicions. Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem to any other normal person. Though of course, your previous partner was no normal person and her associates were no normal folk either.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ it made you slightly paranoid at the thought that Vox could be aware of your new account—which was set to private—but considering he’s basically the king of tech, it wouldn’t surprise you that much if he had his ways. But it brought you some peace of mind that he probably doesn’t give a shit so he’d just leave you alone. Unless Velvette made him: then that’s an actual issue.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ You frowned when thinking of Velvette—getting slightly upset with yourself for thinking about her.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ It was hard not too though. You don’t just forget about someone who meant so much to you for so long, so quickly. Sometimes you wondered if you made the right choice. Did you regret it? Hmm…some days you did.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Some days you’d wake up and turn to the side to see a face you grew familiar to seeing every morning—she wouldn’t be there. Oh yeah. Of course she wouldn’t.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Some nights you slept just fine, not missing a familiar presence next to you or wishing she was there at all.

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ It was very strange. It’s still strange. It didn’t help that considering she’s fucking Velvette—she’s everywhere. Every app you open; oh Velvette or the Vee’s are top of trending? Shocker! Leave your place for a little while to do some shopping? Oh look on the billboards—it’s fucking Velvette. Dating a celebrity as big of a deal as Velvette you were aware would have some draw backs but at the time you never considered what the end of the relationship would be like. Cuz I mean like, who would think about the ending of a relationship with someone you really liked to even get into said relationship with anyways?

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Somedays you opened your closet and yours eyes would drift to the clothing that Velvette had gifted you. Designed, hand made, complete with a spritz of her signature perfume to mark her scent on it—her own way of claiming you. You quirked an eyebrow at the clothing. It’s been… several weeks. Months maybe? Who knows but…

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ “Can’t keep hanging onto this forever…” You mumbled, thumb circling on a corner of a shirt she made you. It be nearly impossible to move on if you kept onto these sorts of things. I mean, you suppose by now she’d probably move on…right? Velvette doesn’t get attached to most things so…she has to be over it now. Right?

The walk to the nearest thrift store was anything but simple.

Meaning you had to take the long and more dangerous way around, through random alleyways and parkouring your way about. Their was VoxTek cameras everywhere in Pentagram city so you tried to avoid those as much as possible since dumping Velvette. Out of… slight fear, if you’re being honest.

No one disrespects and humiliates the Vee’s, evident from the Vox and Alastor fiasco, so you were slightly paranoid what Velvette or her fellow Vee’s would do to you since you are the one who ended things. You’re the one who deleted evidence of your relationship with the overlord on your very public account—which you then deactivated which of course only got people talking even more. Fucking great!

“I’m a real genius getting everyone’s attention on us Vel, whoopy.” You muttered quietly to yourself, dodging a stray bullet in the process.

The thrift store was in sight now, and in a quick jogging distance. You stopped from your corner, looking around for any VoxTek camera. Surely Vox isn’t always watching, right? He’s the ceo of his stupid empire for fucks sake, he should be way too busy to be sitting around looking at a bunch of random ass citizens in Pride. You spotted several cameras, making you tense.

“Just act natural. Don’t fuck up.” You whispered to yourself, completely missing the quirked eyebrows of a couple of sinners next to you that you apparently didn’t notice.

Pacing your steps correctly, you tried to make it seem like you weren’t just obviously trynna avoid said cameras. Just gotta blend in with the crowd.

Unbeknownst to you however, three overlords sat in Vox’s office, all the monitors displaying all the nearby streets to this thrift store.

Vox scrolled on his phone as he sipped his coffee, giving the occasional “uh huh” or “that bitch” whenever he felt necessary as he was forced to listen to Velvette’s rant. He was doing his usual work until Velvette and Valentino walked in, well more so Valentino dragging Velvette in. Apparently Velvette went on another tangent about ex’s and how she’s soooooo over you now. Valentino was too high too care but found it amusing nonetheless so he dragged the young overlord and himself to Vox so Vox could deal with keeping up with her tangent while the pimp just sits there and watches in amusement.

Velvette’s rant comes to a sudden stop when her eyes catches a glimpse of the monitors.

“Vox, teleport me there, now!”

With a quick grin to a staff member, you placed the group of neatly pressed clothes in the big donation bin.

The feelings of parting with the clothes was difficult for you to describe. Peace that you could more easily move on? Anxiousness that you’re letting your past relationship go? Self doubt began to flood your soul again.

In an almost desperate attempt to cling onto something, you took one article of clothing and sniffed it—wait is that her scent? You sniffed it again more confused this time. Wha—but you washed it! You washed all of these before donating them, why is that scent lingering around? Another sniff before you realized it wasn’t the clothing that had the scent.

“You’re kind of a freak for sniffing clothes, you know that?”

You turn on your heal, nearly jumping back in shock at how close the other was to you,

“Velvette.”

I’ve had this in my drafts for so long and I had no idea how to end it I’m so sorry. I really wanted to finish at least one request though bc I have so many that’s just sitting there half done 😭

Thank you for the request! I wasn’t expecting anyone to want a part 2 of sorts but I had fun and I hope it isn’t terrible lol

week 1: introduction

Background

Her full name is Verónica Itzel Fontana Aguilar, she's a mexican-colombian girl. Her parents arrived at El Encanto when they were kids with the group of people in which Pedro and Alma were. Her father's family, the Fontanas, are horsemen from Sinaloa, and fled Mexico during the Porfiriato. Her mother is from Yucatan, and unfortunately, was orphaned shortly before arriving in town, and she and her younger sister were adopted by the Fontana family. They work raising horses and selling them. Their business is well established in the town, and they're one of the most important families in there. Anyways, they're not friends with the Madrigals, and only interact with them whenever they need something. Itzel is the eldest of two children in the Fontana-Aguilar family.

Despite having a normal childhood, Itzel was a lonely child. Her father worked all day in the stables, so he didn't spend time with her; her mother only worked until noon 'cause she's a teacher, but she just couldn't stand her own child, and sent her to her room to keep her away from her. Itzel was a restless and energetic girl, so this affected her a lot, making her look outside her family circle for the attention that she wasn't given at home.

Itzel's parents in their twenties.

Personality

Itzel is a kind person and has good feelings, but she's very disconnected from her own emotions and her environment, which makes her quite impulsive. Even so, the emotions Itzel feels are very intense, and is a hopeless romantic. She collapses easily, and crying is her way of channeling her anger, happiness, or sadness. She's also a theater kid, and tends to unconsciously create her own problems by believing herself to be the protagonist of her own soap opera/novela. She really likes to grab the spotlight, and knows she's pretty, so she takes advantage of this to get what she wants. Sometimes this attitude of hers gets her into trouble.

Her savior complex and her lack of judgment when in love always make her get into toxic relationships.

Her theme song:

Occupation

Since she was a child, Itzel showed special interest in art and knew she definitely wanted to be an artist. When she expressed her desire of devoting her life to art, her parents objected, arguing that a woman couldn't choose that occupation. However, they didn't stop her either, she did what she wanted, and fulfilled her dream anyway. She is the town muralist, and makes oil paintings as well. Her parents began to support her when they saw that she could actually make a living from it.

i'm super late for week one 😭 i had to fix some things on her character sheet, but here she is!

@encanto-extended-edition

[el-moscorrofio-y-el-mercachifle]

I don't see many people talking about Patricia's character anywhere, so I'll talk a little (give my opinion) here.

I personally feel VERY sorry for her. Okay, many of Patricia's attitudes and actions are not justifiable, but you can't help but feel empathy for her at least at some point throughout the story. She was never a saint because several times she was not strange when it came to manipulating/seducing to get something, she never thought before humiliating people among other things that make her a bad person.

But despite all this, you can see that several times she showed herself to be a naive person, she filled herself with expectations, deluded herself and lied to herself, (like for example the whole story with Mário, which she faithfully believed he was would marry her and keep her), and as you said, she always thought she was in control of everything and all the relationships she was involved in, but she never was.

She tried to use everyone and always ended up being used, she tried to manipulate everyone and they easily manipulated her, situations that show that she was really a vulnerable and naive person. I believe that her being so materialistic and wanting to find a rich husband is not only to solve her economic problems, but also to fill a void, because what she really is, is a very lonely person. She's so empty that she'd rather go to the gym than buy food, she'd rather not give up things she doesn't need than live poorly. These things only show that she is a person who lives by appearances, who tries so hard to be someone she is not, rather than showing the reality: that she is alone and does not have someone who loves her to the point of caring about her.

She was so at the bottom mentally (stopping eating to try to look like a life she can't keep it’s not normal, also other things she did) and economically that she had to humble herself to people, like when she went to Daniel because he had become president (that's all he wanted, and we know that sooner or later he would tell her the worst possible way how shameful this situation was and how much she fell to get to that point), or when she tried to seduce Mario to get a ride home.

Anyway, Patricia could be selfish, materialistic and a lot of other things, but that just reminds us that she is a REAL person like so many others out there.

I know many will definitely disagree with me, but as I already said, I know that she is no saint throughout the entire novel, but she suffered as much as those who were called and considered the “good guys” in the story.

Hiiii! Loved that you shared some of your thoughts! Here are some of mine too🥰

Patricia's character was definitely... a topic. It's no secret that to me she became a wasted potential and I dislike the decision to make her purely comedic relief when at first she was honestly pretty much in the same camp as characters like Armando and Marcela: very entitled and blinded by their own gigantic ego, to the point of hurting others for their own benefit even though they didn't realize it. I'm not saying she should have gotten a redemption or anything of the sorts. Characters like Mario never got them but they were still super well worked with. Patricia just became a joke.

I've also mentioned before that I too feel pity for her, or at least, I feel for first-half-of-the-novela Patricia. She was never kind, polite, humble or endearing, sure, but she seemed much more human. She was truly excited to think Mario fell for her, and seemed truly disturbed by that firdt encounter with Daniel. I feel for that Patricia because up until that point, her story felt real. I wouldn't say she was naive, but rather, too egocentric to realize there are bigger fish on the sea. She thought she could do anything to anyone and she'd always triumph. Uo until there, you feel she is a real person clinging to appearences because her life is so empty she literally has nothing else. Eventually it just became comedy and exagerated whining that made you forget that she's actually a person with real suffering, even if she's causing it herself (most of the characters cause their own suffering, too).

I couldn't pinpoint exactly when she became a parody of herself. At some point her role was just to throw venom, be comedic, and complain. That's it. She didn't even cause much trouble like at the beginning, and her extreme poverty was merely the butt of the joke. This last part particularly is where I feel the potential was the most wasted. I would have loved to see more of Patty's real struggles, and, if we had had a but more time with the novela, perhaps we could have even seen this for character development (or character regression, whichever you choose!): for example, how poverty is keeping her from eating, which is leading to headaches and dizziness and lack of energy. How poverty is landing her homeless. How she's forced to rely on, for example, Nicolás. I could totally see their love story having formed from this, like her falling so badly that she has no choice but to rely more on Nicolas now not only for frivolous things like the car and the cellphone, I mean real things like food and shelter and seen in a more real light.

Anyways, Ik why they couldn't develop more their "love story" (I think they probably were meant to be together, as in Gaitan probably had that goal, but we all know all the problems that theproduction went through), so it's just an idea.

I do think Patricia was probably mentally ill, tho. Her obsession with appearences is so bad, like you said, that she's willingly STARVING herself. She's starving and yet she doesn't miss a single day at the gym. She's willing to risk going homeless but doesn't stop buying new clothes or hair dye. She's willing to shower with cold water and go back to a pitch dark apartment where there's no food or entertainment as long as she can still look and act like a rich person in front of everyone. I think we often forget how insane Patty's situation was because we remember more her funny/malicious sides, but honestly, her whole world view was crazy.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and sorry this took so long!😂❤️

26 years old

Birthday 3/25

Her dream is to become a singer-songwriter, to release her own album and for her songs to reach everyone's hearts. She dedicates herself to composing her own songs.

Carla is a shy and sweet young woman who lives in a town called Rosenschwarz, where her parents Haines and Fiona Gardner and her twin sister, Daliah, also live. They had distanced themselves from her until the events of Duskwood, and Daliah was her greatest support and the one who kept her secret and is quite overprotective of her.

She works in the antique shop that her mother runs after losing her job because of Lilly's video.

She only wants to live a normal life and fulfill her dreams, until the Duskwood issue came into her life.

Her relationship with Jake is complicated, which makes her often doubt him and distance herself because she doesn't want to get too involved, although he has feelings for her.

*Likes*

-Playing the guitar.

-Birds.

-Romantic movies.

-The tranquility.

-Glass figurines.

-Writing songs.

-Reading romance novels.

*Dislikes*

-Horror movies.

-The lake of her town.

-People who are not sincere.

-Someone hurting her sister.

-Not getting the inspiration she needs.

*Details*

-As a child, she identified her sister's kidnapper.

-She doesn't have many friends in Rosenschwarz, so the Duskwood group is her first real group of friends.

-Her favorite Taylor Swift album is Folklore, although her favorite song is Lavender Haze.

-Her passion for the guitar came when a relative of hers gave her a toy one, and when she grew up, she decided to study to be able to compose her songs.

-Her favorite movie is 'Tangled'.

-Despite being twins, she always thinks more about how her sister wants her birthday party than her own.

-She's trying to deal with her shyness by playing at least one song at the bar at night.

-In Moonvale, she meets Eric in person while she and her sister are traveling by car to go to Duskwood after weeks without contact with her friends, but that's a Oneshot that I'll write one day.

So about the episodes of this week.

Armando is not ...a smart CEO. Or maybe CEOs aren't smart to begin with. His plans always fail and sense I know what will happen next...I can say no single plan of his will work.

Mario Calderon...He is his right hand but also never won as his plans don't go right or is a short term success.

I honest to God don't get why Marcela even wants to marry Armando. I think she has some level of obsession, yes. Obsession not love. The man screams and never talks to her and she still wants to be his wife.

Hugo? I think his new insult to Betty is to make sure to the audience he is being to her bc...the previous one could sort be taken as concern. I don't like Hugo but I do find amazing how he is written.

Also, god Ecomoda would have so many problems with RH...god.

Betty? She is loyal to a fault and this is ...both a virtue and a vice.

Nicolas wanting Patrícia...why is that seem as good even all men in the story want her bc she is hot?

Lastly, all is heading to Betty be the defacto president of Ecomoda.

Overall, those episodes of this week were weak but are heading to more drama.

Btw, I did love Armando as a drag queen...like this novela was aired in the late 90. And we got drag queens and gay bars being show as smth normal, suuure for a straight man the bar is weird but...the thing here is...we are meant to laugh at Armando, not at the other queer people.

I read Ender's Game a while ago but I've been hesitant to pick up another OSC since I heard about his homophobia. Do you think it's worth rereading Ender's Game and going to Speaker of the Dead or should I try a different OSC book?

idk. I mean, if you get a book from the library I don't think there's any guilt about "oh no i gave money to a homophobe" so the question is just... do you want to read orson scott card. And that's a hard question for me to answer for you right like. i think card is a great author but i also think many people are great authors so. shrug

my favorite osc is a novela called Unaccompanied Sonata, so if you wanna dip your toes into his other work but not a whole novel, that's a good pick.

Ender's game and speaker for the dead are pretty different genre and tone-wise. (if you want more ender's game, Ender's Shadow is what you want.) So I don't think rereading Ender's Game is necessarily required. All you really need to remember is like. ok here's the 6 sentence summary of all u need. spoilers enders game

Ender Wiggin is plucked out of normal childhood and trains as a super braingenius warleader. He struggles with his psyche in the form of an "unbeatable" adventure game. Eventually, during what he believes to be a simulated training exercise, he orders the destruction of the alien homeworld, killing their species entirely. Meanwhile, on Earth, his siblings Val and Peter poast so hard they become president. Val and Ender leave for a colony world, where he discovers, in an irl replica of the adventure game, a message from the buggers and a egg that could restart their species. He writes two eulogies under the alias "Speaker for the Dead", titled "the hive queen and the hegemon", one for the bugger species and one for Peter and humanity.

Hey! 20+ transmasc here (18+ people only!) And I've come here for some Baldur's Gate 3 roleplays! It's going to be OC x Canon and I'm okay with doubling up!!

I'm looking for an Astarion for my transmasc male high elf bard oc or my male drow fighter oc. Go figure lol and I can play whoever for your oc!! Also willing to accept poly or MAYBE Gale or Halsin x my ocs. Though Astarion is my first choice!

I'm still on Act 1 in the game but know enough about certain characters/routes to do a bit more in depth if you'd like! Or even if you want to do a bit of a freestyle plot not purely based on canon bg3 main quest then we can! The possibilities are endless!

I'm fine with any ship pairing such as MxM, FxF, FxM, FtMxM, MtFxF, NBxM, etc. One of my ocs is transmasc (FtM) so please be okay with that! My roleplay style ranges from semi literate to advanced or even novela based on how I'm feeling and my partner's rp style. Normally I'm pretty detailed in my replies though!!

I'm definitely okay with dark and nsfw themes. They are welcome and encouraged! We can discuss more details in DM or on discord.

Please interact with this and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!!

Souuuuuup!!!!!!! THE HALLOWEEN SAGA IS SO GOOD!!!

I have seriously reloaded your page like 60 times today to see if there was a part 7 even though I knew there wouldn't be because I am jonesing so hard. I haven't been this eager for a piece of media since my electricity went out 10 minutes into the season premier of my favorite show when I was thirteen 😂😂😩

Seriously, tho. The way you've escalated the whump and angst with each part is just so, so, so good. I used to have favorites among your characters but now that I know them all so well I adore every last one of them and I love how we're getting the impact of the whump and angst on every single character and their reactions.

You are an incredible writer and you're only getting better! Thanks for sharing your talents with us 💖💖💖

<3

-wussifer

Wussifer 😭😭 Excuse me while I go print this out and plant it on my wall for all my blue days!!

I know you're a Vince & Wendy fan, so I'm so so happy that the shift into another Luke & Bell novela didn't turn you off! And by god, that's some high praise there, to be compared to a season premier 😳😳

Don't worry, you'll get your fix tonight, in like 9-10 hours

Also I saw your comment about writing fanfic of my OCs and can I just say how CLOSE I got to writing Vic into the newest installment and had to beat myself off with a broom, like be fucken normal about other people's OCs, Soup!! Clown to clown communication here

La estructura del guion de "Normal People"

Me he dado cuenta de que, aparte de que los diálogos de “Normal People” sean excelentes, la estructura del guion de algunos episodios de la serie sigue un patrón determinado, que funciona, realmente, bien. Por ejemplo, al principio del capítulo, hay un teaser, un anzuelo. Vemos a Marianne, hecha polvo por algo que ha pasado, algo que, obviamente, no sabemos. Marianne, muy depre, mira un fregadero…

fun fact about me: i don’t have that much time or attention span to watch most shows so i get very picky with watching shows (specifically shows since obviously they take longer to watch) 😅 also i tend to only remember shows i enjoy since i don’t like to focus on bad pieces of media

i don’t remember enough bad shows i’ve watched to make a top 5 (sorry 😞) so here’s just me talking about two shows that are like… bad in different ways:

Cielo Grande/Secrets of Summer

I don’t know if I already said on Tumblr how bored I was from this show, but everything was just so boring 😭 Even the songs which are normally the BEST part of these badly-written telenovelas.

Part of why a lot of teen novelas have music is to create a soundtrack for viewers to be able to still engage with the franchise even without watching the long ass shows. The songs in this show were a bunch of wannabe-feel-good acoustic guitar friendship songs.

Other than that, the writing is not good (kinda forced and because of the much MUCH shortened show format, very rushed). I mentioned to my friend how I couldn’t believe they made a teen drama bad and boring at the same time.

A show also doesn’t need to stand out or be extraordinary to be good, but this one just fell flat.

(I seem very angry toward this show, but I prefer bad over boring in terms of entertainment)

Miraculous Ladybug

This show is ANNOYINGLY entertaining and also ANNOYINGLY stupid. I’m too tired to write a long essay about why this show is bad, but it’s mainstream so people know why it’s bad. Marinette (as much as I love her and Christina Vee’s incredible voice acting) was toxic, many characters’ arcs were wasted potential, and the hopeful plot was ruined by the execution.

Those two shows aren’t even bad per se, but I just don’t like watching shows if either they’re irredeemably bad or don’t intrigue me, so I don’t have any to rant about.

Hey hey! 20+ transmasc here (18+ PEOPLE ONLY) and I'm looking for OC x Canon rps! Double ups only as I'm wanting to play ocs of my own BUT I am more than willing to play any canon(s) [max of 2] for your oc! That means I'm also fine with poly ships.

My fandoms are currently Obey Me (+ Nightbringer), and Harry Potter (Golden Trio Era)!! I'm open to more fandoms though so please do not be afraid to ask. I'm willing to play any canon character for each fandom except the obvious ones. All characters are aged up as well.

I'm fine with any ship pairing such as MxM, FxF, FxM, FtMxM, MtFxF, NBxM, etc. One of my ocs is transmasc (FtM) so please be okay with that! My roleplay style ranges from semi literate to advanced or even novela based on how I'm feeling and my partner's rp style. Normally I'm pretty detailed in my replies though!!

Some things I'm looking for are drama - specifically relationship drama such as messy situationships, one sided, leading ppl on, fwb, friendships, etc etc. Those kinds of things are so fun to rp out tbh,,, but I'm open to other types of drama relations such as family, business, etc. I'm also looking for people who are comfortable with nsfw. It doesn't matter how little or how much!

I also have a few plots in mind for each fandom already but if you have some in mind for your pairing, let me know! I'd be more than happy to make your dream a reality! I also adore talking ooc about hcs, ideas for the rp as it progresses, our ocs, etc etc so don't be afraid to want to talk to me! :))

Interact with this and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! Thank you!! <33

Of course it's normal. Being touched by art is probably the most normal thing about being human. However, I think it's incorrect to conflate being touched by art and the kind of relationship to art encompassed by brainrot hyperbole.

Because honestly? Truly? Brainrot is the stuff of hyperfixations. It's not simply not being casual about art, it goes beyond that. And that beyondness is not, according to Society™, normal at all. To argue otherwise is to take away from how healing it can be to own one's weirdness about specific art as a valid way to engage with it. As not being inherently off-putting or immature or whatever else. Something worthy of celebrating because of its weirdness.

Crucially, too, is that brainrot is about specific pieces of art. It denotes a very particular reaction to a particular work of art, not to art as a whole. Not every bit of art I engage with, even those that touch me, do so with the same depth and obsession that art I have brainworms about does. My love for Supernatural (brainworms) is not the same as my love for, say, The Last Kingdom. I love both those shows, but the amount of bandwidth they take up in my brain and how much joy I derive from them are not the same. Both shows have had me crying in my living room, but only one had me writing thousands of words of meta. Only one kept me company on long car rides as I daydreamed for hours on end about putting some guys in situations.

I have loved Narratives my whole entire life. If I have an enduring special interest it's fiction. One of the earliest stories my mom likes to share about me had to do with how much I loved the main character from a novela that was airing before I turned 2. I'm not, and never have been, normal about all art. It's a minority, even, and I can probably list all the stories I've been unwell about for the last 20+ years. And I know I'm not "normal" about those stories because they are the topics I have to control discussing with other people. Because being weird about art isn't normal and even within friend groups with people who didn't outright reject me for my weirdness, I still knew, in that deep way we know we're off somehow, that I was too intense.

I have ADHD and I'm autistic, and I think that might be key to this particular experience I've had. It's a big part of my rejection sensitivity as well. And I'm willing to bet this is true for a lot of folks who talk about having brainrot about that poor meow meow over there.

So yeah I got worms and rot and all sorts of delightful, unhinged, intense feelings about my shows and books, and blorbos. I wouldn't trade that for the world, but, truth is I have to control how much I'm vibrating out of my skin when I talk about hyperfixations in a way I don't when talking about stuff I like and have Thoughts about. At the cost of social rejection.

And, idk, at least for me, it's been lovely to learn to cherish that part of me openly in all its obnoxious glory on here instead of feeling that it is something that makes me feel lonely (the way it did when I was in my teens and early 20s).

OP, I think you make a valid point, I really do. I just also think there's important nuance to be found here.

I’m increasingly worried by all the people on my dash calling themselves insane for loving stories in the way humans have loved stories our whole history. “The brain rot is spreading” — you mean you were changed by art? “I’m not normal about this” — you were moved by it? You felt human emotions about it? “I’m about to be so annoying” — you’re going to talk about art? You’re going to be passionate? You’re going to think deeply about it? You’re going to feel love for the work of someone’s soul? You are not a consumer and art is not a product to be casually used! You are a human and stories are the beating heart of our humanity! You must feel everything and you must know that it is normal!

do you believe that the friendship between marce and patricia was true? personally, i liked their scenes and their dynamic together, but i didn't feel much sincerity with this relationship, buuut i prefer to fool myself into believing that they had a healthy and “normal” friendship 🥰

Tbh, no, I think they pretty much fed from the other's negativity, and bonded over their hatred for other people lmao. Marcela is definitely a better friend to Patty than Patty is to Marcela, tho, but it's never really that pure. We also see it crumble throughout the novela! By the last episodes Marcela pretty much seem to still have Patty around for the same reason Armando has Mario: because they have no one else 😔
