#or planning a damn wedding

[tim-hoe-wan]

i place a lot of blame on buzzfeed and co for the internet boyfriend phenomenon and the backlash their SOs receive because publications like those are a huge part of the promotion of the personality side of celebrity when what they should be focusing on is the craft that made a celebrity a celebrity in the first place. it’s all the fluff articles and fawning content that enables the unwell fans in their frankly abusive behaviors.

they deify these celebrities to an extent that’s insane and while i understand that there is no excuse for fans that hurl abuse at celebrities’ SOs mental health services are lacking in many places and i do understand that on a psychological level when you’re constantly receiving messaging that this celebrity is so much better than “mere mortals” and they’re so so very special and basically the universe’s chosen one and prodigal son it’s gonna make certain fans feel some kind of way. because this celebrity rather than being a human being who ultimately is just as “normal” and mundane as everyone else who has ever existed and will ever exist has been made into this ultimate object of desire (basically a thing) and status symbol who has a result certain fans are going to strive to be with for validation because we live in a society that elevates the things buzzfeed and co promote. i know you don’t relate because of you and your family’s personal relationship to celebrities but that’s how the situation seems to me.

like it’s to the point where there are harry fans who would actually LOVE to be in olivia’s or taylor’s position receiving all the abuse and speculation and death threats from fans and busybodies on deuxmoi because at least it would mean that they were actually dating harry, it would be proof that they get to be the ones in what they see as the desirable position. does this make sense? i’m interested to know where you disagree

I generally agree. I do think this predates buzzfeed. It doesn’t help when a lot of the hollywood legends act like their affairs and number of women they bedded, even while they were married, is a mark of achievement. Even worst when they’re praised for it and people live for the age old dramas of rivalry for a man. Women fighting over men always sell a story. I remember teen magazines loved the whole team Hilary or team Lindsay over Aaron Carter. Then again with Selena and Miley over Nick. It doesn’t help that the celebs themselves love doubling down on this catfight and the men involved just keep acting smug. All that time I remember thinking Nick was not even attractive in my eyes for people to fight over.

Buzzfeed and other publications that use the same style did help reinforce this idea. Aside from this whole treating celebs like gods, they love riding on dramas and catfights. They’re practically one of the first to egg on people to pick a side. But it has always been fun for people to see women fighting for the sake of a man. Honestly it’s not limited to celebs, people do it at school or in the workplace or anywhere girls fight for a man’s attention.

And honestly, while men ultimately benefit from the worship, let’s be honest that it has led to people ignoring young men in hollywood being abused. Because that young boy is the subject of all women’s attention, suddenly people ignore inappropriate words and touches (such as for Shawn and JB), or the grooming of young men (Harry and ATJ). The idea of men as prize and worth fighting about affects everyone negatively end of day. Thirsting is one thing and normal. But if you get nasty and have unhealthy positive or negative attachments/emotions towards these strangers, take a step back pls.

Lom caresses Nuea five times and one time Nuea caresses Lom

brassic questions im haunted by: what the fuck was the wanking contest? why the FUCK do these "professional thieves" never silence their phones when they're robbing? why does dylan continue to take class a's?

I think Issac being obsessed with dinosaurs is my new favorite thing about the whole series

Having the Gale Thoughts (tm) again - mostly about how much it seems like he is built around the idea of creation. Both metaphysically through magic ("I know its unreal but I made it for you") and literally when he does shit like cooks for the party and writes poetry. I know he even refers to his hands several times, which makes sense - they are his tools for how he creates in the world. Like, dont get me wrong I believe the guy does hella acts of service as a love language but man it seems like he really does like grand gestures in the form of making something for people as a sort of gift. Ngl thats why I just love him so much with a bard!Tav because they are by default an artist and there is that connection on the idea of *making* things. Like the guy talks so much about literature, poetry, and art that it feels like more than just an academic interest in it. Obviously though all PCs can connect to that in some way or another, I just have my biases because of how I play. Gale strikes me as someone who really is interested in people who add to the world and he just really really wants to be one of them. Partially because, yeah he *was* one of them he was a fucking arch-wizard. Part of me also thinks its because once he was recognized as a child prodigy he probably was expected to be that. Part of me also thinks its because his mother clearly loves to cook, and it was an act of creating that was passed down to him.

Oh that PhayuRain proposal was *cheff’s kiss* 😭 so perfect for these boys!!

I love their cameos in Wedding Plan, it almost feels natural. I want them to keep popping up in WP. I mean, Nuea needs to start planning the PhayuRain wedding, right? I can imagine Rain arriving at their first appointment with a whole folder of moodboards.

What if Wedding Plan starts with Lom attending the PrapaiSky wedding alone and ends with him taking Nuea as his date to the wedding of Phayu& Rain 😭😭

Happy 1 year since Lycoreco official account teased "Chisataki marriage"!

+ a mini comic I HC how they got "hitched" I know there's actually an audio drama on how they got hold of the wedding dresses but this is just a silly indulgent backstory I thought of :P

*does a little research*

. . . . . . . . . .

Bonus:

...then they got married 🥰💒💐

I was hesitant on showing this cuz I messed up with the outlines and colored it so lazily, basically rushing it (I'm actually a day late already). So this'll just stay here under the cut cuz I don't like how it turned out

[love-too]

I sometimes lay in bed before going to sleep and think back on the delicious food I had for dinner. This is the real aroace experience for me

[sunshinechay]

Did literally everyone get to learn that the wedding is fake before Nuea?

Because I feel like he should have been the first to know that.

At this, Susannah couldn't help but grin at his answer, for it was a valid one: As excited as she was at the prospect of dining out and seeing a show together, that certainly didn't mean she wasn't excited about everything else on the agenda. There really wasn't anything she didn't look forward to-the world was their oyster, a taste of freedom they'd be sure to savor over the course of this vacation. It was a taste they'd become accustomed to, once they made it to California.

What a strange thought, one she still wasn't accustomed to yet...to not be stared at. It should be a comforting thought, and it was, not to be perceived the way she was used to, but at the same time...it was so alien too, thinking of others not looking at her like she was some heinous abomination...she supposed this vacation would be good practice, for herself to grow accustomed to being treated differently-better, she reminded herself-but still, it would take some acclimating to.

Another thing she would have to grow accustomed to: Having fun money. Although Philippe would undoubtedly insist upon paying for much of their trip (for which she was extremely appreciative), she nonetheless made sure to dip into what little savings she had, deciding to put a little extra in her purse, just so she could buy a few things herself. She'd like to buy him breakfast one of these mornings, as well as buy some souvenirs to bring back...for herself, and for Edward and Doreen.

Maybe I'll buy myself a new dress! she thought to herself brightly, as she felt her purse in her pocket. There was no guarantee she'd do that, of course, but it was an exciting thought anyways...when was the last time she bought something just for herself?

I loved it because it was sort of a fun house mirror version of how my husband and I met - I was in a quilting guild with my mom, she got to talking to the woman who would become my mother-in-law, they had us exchange phone numbers, and the rest is history!

omg, that is too cute for words. ❤️

I can absolutely see this happening for Simon and the Reader, too.

How many times can a character get an idiot plot before it's established that he simply is an idiot and should not be in charge of any decisions ever?
