#oh if i didnt understand you're ask thats my fault obviously

[midnighttreasureseeking]

That's fine just drop the show. I dont know what you want AMC to do about Jacob not being nominated, they put him up for consideration and it's upto the award show to nominate him, Jacob acts out pretty much every actor who got his place but he wasnt awarded because award shows are racist as well as other things that influnce their choices.

As for Jacob may have gotten in if he had been in supporting catogary, you are being willifully obtuse to what people are saying. People arent saying Jacob as a lead should have been entered for best support actor, they are saying that historically in award shows best supporting actor is easier to break into then lead actor, therefore in s3 if Jacob was to be put forward as best supporting actor he may have a better chance at the nomination.

As for Sam getting a nomination he deserves, he has been one of the best supporting actors in a show this year. You may not agree, that's fine but you cant force everyone to see acting in the same way.

I also do not understand why it is that I see people complain that Sam has been nominated instead of Jacob but barely a single peep about the white actors jacob lost to who definitely dont deserve to be there like Anthony starr and eddie redmayne?

But back to what I said above, yes, drop the show because as of s3 Lestat will stay a main character along with Louis. Meanwhile Jacob has a new album coming out, another movie called 'bad apple' or 'bad apples' that you may enjoy more but if you choose to continue to stay you may want to focus your energy on the award shows that are historically racist and always giving out badly timed awards to actors or who are brought by money. I cant blame AMC for not spending money for noms when they can spend it on the show instead.

Hi Anon! Thank you for your points!

First of all, please don't tell me what to do, i did not ask. This has actually invigorated me to watch Season 3 anyways. So thank you for that, my hyperfixation prevailes out of pure spite.

I dont know if you realize but " Lestat and Louis are main characters" is exactly what i want. " lestat is now the main character and louis is a supporting character who's two seasons can be ignored as a falsehood now" is something i don't want and something i don't actually see happening in the show. My post wasn't even about that. My post was about Interview with the vampire in relation to its attached company, PR, and its fandom, not the film industry, the plot or award shows in general. Yes award shows are racist, and sexist and homophobic, they have been that way since the beginning all over the globe. I'm not sure why you're advising me to watch more of them? I have never and will never watch an award show.

I like that you bring up this point tho:

"I also do not understand why it is that I see people complain that Sam has been nominated instead of Jacob but barely a single peep about the white actors jacob lost to who definitely dont deserve to be there like Anthony starr and eddie redmayne?"

Its something good to chew on, tho i do suspect that when people just talk about Sam it's because they are speaking within the context of the show and not of the CCA as a whole. But it is a very good point!

I'm trying to figure out why you sent me this message on anon, when you could have just responded to my post? The only conclusion i can come to is that you want to discourage me from watching the show because of the points i possited, one of them being that quitting the show now wouldnt break my heart as much as it would have done a year ago. The reasons i gave for this had nothing to do with the plot, and everything to do with the culture around it, and yet you do call upon that as the reason i should quit? why do you want a person not to engage with a media because they have the ablitily and guts to view it critically and express opinions it and its culture around it? interesting..i wont be doing that.

ps. this was kinda strange anon not gonna lie. I mean going on anon is such a statement. If you don't want me to know who you are it suggests that whatever you're gonna say is kinda controversial....but you didn't do that....? you just told me to leave the show because there are somethings i dont like about its culture around it......wierd

i like your eyes, you look away when you pretend not to care i like the dimples on the corners of the smile that you wear. i like you more the world may know but dont be scared cause im falling deeper baby be prepared.

» today was your first day at karasuno highschool. honestly, you were so scared. that was up until you found out kageyama was going too.

» the two of you had been childhood friends due to each others grandparents knowing the others. you had been with him through his ups and downs. his victories and defeats. almost everything kageyama did, you were there with him.

» actually, you didnt know kageyama was going to karasuno until you walked outside your door to find the raven haired boy in the same school uniform as you

» "tobi? you never told me you were going to karasuno?" giving him a side eyed grin. "i thought you were planning on going to aoba johsai like oikawa senpai and iwaizumi senpai"

» you viewed kageyama as someone who expected others to reach his level in order to be a good match for him. he had a strong head on his shoulders. naturally gifted in volleyball, like everything was given to him on a gold platter. of course, he wasnt perfect and thats where you come in and keep him level headed. helping him understand his faults and weaknesses as well. doing your best to encourage the setter

» he let out a sigh. a slight frown forming on his face. "i didnt get in.." he quietly said. "karasuno has a good volleyball team though and i can feel myself growing here" he stated bodly

» and boy was he right. something about kageyama did changd that day. he usually was so bitter and angry. a very pessimistic look on life if he and others weren't at the top. maybe it was the orange haired boy, hinata, that the setter and you became friends with. and maybe it was his great senpai's who were patient with him and gave him the opportunity to grow

» kageyama started smiling more often. his small unnoticeable dimples showing. he became kinder. softer. and more carefree. he was a growing boy both mentally and physically.

» what you didnt realize was that not only was kageyama changing, you as well, had something changing and growing in your heart.

» but kageyama noticed. oh boy did he really notice, the way you seemed to become happier and livelier by the day. how the stars sparkled in your eyes when you talked about something you enjoyed. the kind of perfume you would wear and how you would tie your hair differently each day. the weird trinkets you just seemed to love that decorated your bag. but most importantly, how much bigger your heart has become, loving everyone and their faults. always encouraging and motivating him and his team.

» was she always like this? he would constantly think to himself. all of a sudden being hyperaware about you... but he would NEVER let you know that, let alone his senpai's. it was just too embarrassing. just thinking about the never ending teasing he'd get from tanaka and noya senpai made him shiver.

» all of these things he felt about you hit kageyama like a truck the day everyone started to wear their winter uniforms.

» picking you up to walk to school together was a normal thing since the two of you lived close, but how was kageyama suppose to do this now when you're standing in front of him. thigh high socks to keep your legs warm, an oversized jacket that you had borrowed from him a while back you forgot to return. white mittens to cover your cold hands and the slight blush on your face from the wind chill.

» "does it look weird?" you shyly asked. kageyama was silent. "ah.. give me a second. I'll go back in and change real qui-"

» kageyama tugged on your hand. "its fine. lets just go to school or we'll be late." refusing to look you in the eyes. heat rising to your cheeks as tobio dragged you along with him.

» your feelings for the setter had blossomed over the past few months. falling deeper and deeper into him, and at this point you felt like you couldnt hide it anymore. you just had to tell him. tell him all the wonderful things he's done. the way he's grown and how much he means to you.

» "tobi..." your soft voice spilling out. eyes closed, the fog of your breath coming out as you exhaled. "i lik-"

» you felt something wrap around your neck. "wait y/n..." kageyama spoke, interrupting what you were about to say. not gonna lie, you felt like your heart was about to be shattered like ice eventhough kageyama continued to wrap his scarf around your neck.

» "dont say it..." he quietly said as he began to walk forward without you.

» ah... is this what rejection feels like? i didnt even get to say it properly... your hands felt colder now that kageyama wasnt holding them anymore.

» he took a quick glance back at you. blush on his cheeks. "be prepared because i want to be the one to tell you first."

i like the way you try so hard when you play ball with your friends. i like the way you hit the notes in every song you're shinnin' i love the little things like when you're unaware, i catch you steal a glance and smile so perfectly

» semi eita, your 3 year heart throb from the moment he first spoke to you.

» at first, you had suppressed these feelings, telling yourself he would never look at you the same way. but something about the blonde tsundere struck a chord in your heart that you just couldn't forget.

» the two of you ended up becoming friends. closer than you had actually imagined within these past 3 years. doing everyday life with you. waking up and saving you a spot at breakfast. helping you with your studies in exchange for being his workout buddy and motivator.

» semi kept his tabs on you. your likes and dislikes. the things that made you smile and the things that made you groan in disgust, but he would never let you know that.

» to semi, you were his breath of fresh air. the song he has on repeat everyday. the kind of person who would keep him on his toes. in a good way of course

» "oi what are you daydreaming of this time?" semi asked as you zoned out while drinking your carton of strawberry milk. "hm? oh nothin. just thinkin about whats in store for us today!" reaching your arms above your head letting out a stretch. "i just know for a fact. today is gonna be a good day." semi chuckled at your optimistic claim. "how do you know for sure?" "i dont know how. i just do" you replied with a smile on your face.

» today, shiratorizawa had a practice match with aoba johsai and today, eita was picked to be in the starting line up. the pure joy that radiated from his body. maybe today was a really good day just like how you had said.

» semi took a quick glance up into the stands, you gave him a thumbs up and wished him good luck. his smile was brighter than you had ever seen it and his eyes shined like stars. he always told you that whatever chance he got on the court, he would be sure to not let his team down no matter what. he was in his zone. playing his best and sure enough, they had won all 3 matches.

» after practice, semi and you would hang out at his dorm afterwards. he liked to show you all the new songs he was working on. whether it was a cover or a song or a song he was writing on his own.

» the two of you leaned against the wall as you sat on semi's bed. his sheet music all sprawled out before him on his bed sheets. guitar in his arms and you beside him.

» "what are you working on semi?" "a song" "well obviously dum dum" you laughed, reaching out for a paper in front.

» "so who's the special lady?" you teased him as you read the lyrics. deep down inside you could only wish these words were meant for you. a blush formed on eita's face. "just... shut up about it... its not ready yet"

» it was getting late and falling asleep at semi's place was a normal occurrence at this point. your eyes became heavy and your head started bobbing.

» "sleepy?" eita asked as he noticed your eyes drooping. "mhm. sing for me semi? please?" his voice was so soft like a mothers touch yet somehow had the power to pierce through your soul sometimes. although, it never failed to help you fall asleep when you needed it.

» hesitantly, semi started humming. softly speaking some lyrics here and there. you didnt know where the tune was from so you listened the best you could.

» "... till the last of snow dissapears ... till a rainy day, becomes clear. never knew a love like this, now i can't let go..."

» your eyes had closed. slumber taking over you as you fell onto semi's shoulder.

» "im in love with you... and now you know..."

» yeah. today was a good day. just like you said it was going to be.

in a world devoid of life, you bring color. in your eyes i see the light, my future. always and forever i know i cant let you go. im in love with you and now you know

» to iwaizumi, unlike volleyball, oikawa, maki, mattsun, school, anything life threw at him; you were the thing in his life that was constant yet at the same time a whirlwind of new beginnings. not in a bad way though.

» ever since you were kids, you showed iwaizumi the beauty in things he would have never guessed had. he was bold and tended to look over things without giving them much thought. his eyes straight ahead to the trials before him. you on the other hand, stopped him and slowed him down from rushing into them blindly.

» "every moment is precious. you should learn to cherish it because you never know when it's gonna be your last" you always said

» your views of the world were beautiful compared to how cruel it actually was. naivety maybe? or maybe it was just because you were blessed with a kind soul.

» iwaizumi always knew he had feelings for you. you had been with him through thick and thin. he could depend on you and you could depend on him. in his eyes, you were the most beautiful person on earth. deep down he had hoped the two of you could stay like that forever. nothing could ever change that.

» or so he thought...

» "iwa chan~ you owe me a meat bun" oikawa whined as the group of friends were walking to the gym for volleyball practice. "shut up crappykawa. i already bought you one last week" "oi isn't that y/n over there?" maki said, shaking iwaizumi's shoulder.

» sure enough it was you. apparently you had told iwaizumi to go ahead of you today because you had something to take care of in the afternoon. telling him you'd meet up with him after practice was over. not thinking much of it, he bid you a farewell and went on in his day.

» "oooou by the looks of it, this is the perfect confession scene" mattsun teased. "oi stop messing around" iwaizumi's voice hoarse. not gonna lie, iwaizumi felt his heart drop when mattsun said that

» the 4 boys crept closer to see what was going on.

» there you were, standing in the middle of a classroom with a black haired boy. "mhm. definitely a confession." oikawa stated. "shut up tooru we cant hear" maki retorted.

» you weren't considered popular in school but that didnt mean people didnt know who you were. iwaizumi knew you were gorgeous and on top of that, smart, kind and one of the sweetest girls, so it was only natural that people would be drawn to you.

» they watched as the boy got closer and closer to you. voices barely being audible to the 4 boys outside. iwaizumi's heart could bear to see this right before his eyes.

» without even thinking, his feet moving on his own, iwaizumi barged into the room. all eyes towards him.

» "iwa what are you-" without letting you finish, iwa dragged you out of the classroom. "iwa where are you taking me" asking him as he took you to who knows where, leading you up the stairs of the school.

» up on the roof, he finally let go. "sorry..." he mumbled.

» "sorry for what iwa?" "for ruining that confession... i just-"

» "you just...-?"

» "i just love you ok?!"

» your heart shook at the resonance of his voice. iwa liked you? he liked you back?! wait no- he loved you.

» you had loved iwaizumi from the moment you met him and as the two of you grew up, your love for him only grew deeper. he was the only one you'd ever look at. the only one who would ever cross your mind. you had hoped he felt the same about you but he was always so busy with other things you only felt like you would be able to support him on the sidelines as he faced the world head on like he always does.

» just being in iwaizumi's presence was enough for you. no need to be greedier, you thought. its good to be content with what you have, but just knowing that he shares the same feelings... its ok to be a little greedy right?

» your silence being louder than it should have been, iwaizumi took it the wrong way. "look I know this isn't the greatest confession. heck it's not even the way I wanted to confess to you, and get it if you like that other guy, you don't have to-"

» shuting him up with a kiss, you wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him in closer. needless to say, he was shocked, but embraced you as well.

» "you're overthinking too much iwa. that's so unlike you" you chuckled. his face bright red at the previous actions.

» "i love you. I've loved you for a long time actually. every single second. every moment we've shared. i cant picture myself with anyone but you hajime."

» iwa let out a sigh of relief. a smile being brought back onto his face. "good because all I know is that i cant let you go. in the past, present and even in the future...."

» the blue sky slowly changing into shades of coral warmed your heart even more on top of his sweet words that you've always longed to hear.

» "im in love with you, and now you know"

Hi, I've always wanted to ask but felt incredibly silly and dumb asking this, but I really wanna know now, so here goes..

I'm seeing alot of discussion for the Steven Lim appreciation blog, which I'm super here for and will celebrate till the end of the world, because that man deserves all of it and more.. my question is, why do ppl say Steven is homophobic? Is it because he said/did something in the past, or because he isn't respectful or something? Idk, I'm asking because I'm kinda new to this fandom, but still know enough, but not enough to understand why ppl say so? Like even in the HWYD podcast, he always refers to the ppl asking questions as they/them if he doesn't know their gender, so I'm confused..

You don't have to answer this ask if you don't want to, it's completely fine, and I'm super super super sorry for such a long ask, I really am.

Also, I am ✨obsessed✨ with your blog and art, you're doing amazing!❤️

oh, hi! okay. im just gonna do a v quick rundown of what happened, if you want more info, feel free to dm me, or better yet, the apology video the bois and katie did for the ep gives a better idea of everything than i could sum up in a short textpost. but basically there was an ep of hwyd, where the last q was asking what to do when you have a homophobic friend. steven’s answer was very... roundabout, i’d say. he chose words very poorly, and ended up basically stating it’s okay to be friends with homophobic people as long as you Think you can change them. (i don’t truly believe this is what he meant btw, as he explains in his apology later, but it Definitely came off as such.) and obviously, that implies homophobes are okay to accept and homophobes will take that as vindication that their hate for others is okay. on top of this shane and katie (ryan was on vacation) didn’t disagree with him or question him or anything of the sort and just moved on. this then led to ppl pointing out all these tiny details and tearing steven apart trying to prove HE’S homophobic. (which is also where the whole “put ur pronouns in bio steven” really gained traction and literally for months every tweet steven did was just filled with that and it was just rude of ppl at that point , quite frankly, pestering him like that is not gonna make him do it). but back to the point, then steven quickly put out a written apology, and said a formal video apology/explanation was coming soon (bc tbh that short apology was moreso explanation of his statement rather than really apologizing for it which left ppl unsure of how to feel). but then within the next few days, the formal apology/discussion video happened, and for the most part, ppl accepted it as it seemed heartfelt, sincere, and honest. responsibility was taken and an effort to do better in the future was promised. and steven also did just plainly state he’s Not homophobic and amended his advice accordingly and genuinely said sorry to the people who’s feelings he hurt. I’m being purposefully vague here because honestly, I don’t remember exact words that were spoken, but i do know i thought long and hard over this and discussed with others and decided to forgive steven and honestly, their apology was very good, and an example of why watcher is one of the best. they didnt try to just ignore the issue and delete the evidence and put out a short shitty apology. they went in and completely discussed the issue at hand, from all sides (because again, shane and katie (and lauren the editor) were at fault here as well for not pointing out “hey thats not great advice.”) and how to move forward. it was a well rounded and in depth video.  hope this is helpful

[skunked-up-kicks]

okay so i really hope you don't mind i just wanted to respond to the tags in this post. cause i had Thoughts and Opinions. this IS NOT supposed to be hate towards the person that wrote the tags, nor ppl who like aaron. so pls no hate towards literally anyone.

one of the main points in ur tags was the idea that aaron 'doesn't know any better' and i wanna address that first. now i agree with u that aaron's homophobia is a product of his upbringing and he's not at fault for being surrounded by homophobic ppl. and it's certainly understandable that he would pick up this homophobia as he hears it more and more, especially from ppl he likes/trusts.

and my main issue is when u said 'and you cant hold that against him'. because simply 'not knowing an better' is not an excuse. it's very reminiscent of when you will hear ppl of older generations say something bigoted and when u try to address it, someone pipes in and says 'oh well it's just their generation, they don't know any better'. because while we can acknowledge it's not their fault they grew up this way, we can certainly be mad at the product of their upbringing- especially if they aren't actively trying to get better and unlearn their bigotry.

furthermore, i don't agree with u that aaron actually 'doesn't know any better', mainly because i think aaron does know and understand that homophobia hurts ppl. and i think this because he defends nicky when seth calls him the f slur. 'not knowing any better' means they don't understand the harm of their actions, but aaron would have no reason to feel the need to defend nicky here if he didn't on some level understand that saying homophobic things hurts ppl.

and even further on this point, we would never and should never use this logic for anything else in the series. we could make the same 'doesnt know any better' argument for riko. he grew up in an abusive household, he's a victim too, but that doesn't make him abusing others ok nor does it mean ppl can't dislike him for the hurt he causes simply because he himself has been hurt too.

building on from that. you say in the tags ppl should hate tilda, which is valid! but have u considered she might've been abused too? would that mean she is deserving of the same attitude u have towards aaron? should we love her too? i think we can acknowledge what these characters have endured and understand how it has affected them without thinking that means we have to like them or excuse anything they do that's morally wrong.

okay, finally moving on to something else. you said aaron will eventually ask for forgiveness and that nicky and andrew will give that to him. and while i agree that i think this is way canon would go, whether intentional or not i just rlly didnt like the implication that u must forgive ppl who have wronged u if they come asking forgiveness. even after improving themselves. because, if nicky and andrew didnt want to forgive aaron for the homophobia, even if he wasnt homophobic anymore, thats okay! no one is obligated to forgive those who wronged them, no matter what. sometimes someone just hurts u too much to forgive.

the aim of aaron overcoming his homophobia, unlearning it and healing isn't to gain forgiveness from everyone he's wronged. if u approach overcoming bigotry with the end goal being to be forgiveness for everything and loved by all, you're doing it for the wrong reasons. the purpose is so that aaron doesn't cause anymore harm to others, but also to himself. because as we see in canon, his homophobia hurts his relationships with those he cares about and this in turn hurts him too.

uhh last but not least! i understand the point ur trying to make about neil being an unreliable narrator but i think its slightly uncharitable? obviously neil has a bad opinion of aaron, but as someone who doesn't rlly like aaron. my reasoning isn't that neil doesn't like him... if i or anyone else sees the scenes of aaron being homophobic and decides not to like him because of that. that's not neil being an unreliable narrator. that would be like saying, if we decide not to like riko after he tortures neil at evermore that that's unfair because neil has a bad opinion of him. it's not because neil doesn't like them, that would imply their actions are actually justifiable but we just don't see that perspective cuz of neil's bias, but neither aaron's homophobia or any of the shit riko does is justifiable.

we can step back and think why they might act this way, but we can still come out of that disliking them. and that's fine! it doesn't mean anyone who dislikes a character that neil dislikes is automatically like, not being favourable to others characters or not analysing their actions.

anyway yeah, op was just trying to say that it's understandable and ok for ppl to dislike aaron and their reasoning might be that they have personally experienced homophobia which makes it hard to like a character that's homophobic. and that's very valid imo. i'm 100% not trying to say u or anyone else can't like aaron, u can! but others are also allowed not to like him for whatever reason they personally have.

anyway yeah, if u made it this far- thank you for reading! again, i reiterate, THIS IS NOT ABOUT HATING ANYONE. PLEASE NOBODY SEND ANY HATE TO OP, THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE TAGS OR LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE. we can share our opinions respectfully and kindly!

okay but like imo people are allowed to dislike aaron for saying homophobic slurs and like andrew despite the fact he committed murder because like. you can see/be targeted by homophobia during your every day life, but murder just isn’t something that’s really gonna happen to you every day, yknow?? (or maybe it does, forgive me idk how to word this)

both are morally wrong, obviously, but in my personal opinion, i’m going to hate a character who is homophobic way more than somebody who committed justified (i don’t wanna say like, okay murder because idk that’s. something) murder simply because i’ve been effected by homophobia in real life, you feel me?
