One of my favourite parts of Taylor and Travis right now is the fact we’re all feeling and realising the same Thing™️ at the same time based on what we’re seeing and being told and reading between the lines but none of us are saying it because well… instead we’re all just talking in code and jokes and GIFS etc and trying to breathe but it’s even funnier because they know we know and we know they know we know so everyone is looking at each other like 👀😉🧐

i can tolerate a lot of things from writers and showrunners but outright condescension and disdain for their fans is not one of them
#ted lasso#ted lasso critical#tedbecca#i didn’t like it from rian johnson and i sure as shit don’t like it from the ted lasso showrunners#i didn’t think tedbecca was going to be canon (and honestly didn’t care one way or the other)#(as in my enjoyment of the show was not hinging on tedbecca being canon. i was there for sam dani and nate first and foremost.)#but that 3.12 opening felt very meanspirited for a show that’s all about being curious and not judgmental#like if they felt so strongly about platonic tedbecca and KNEW they would never get together#what was the deal with playing coy when they were asked about that for the last two years#everyone involved could have just shut it down a la tina fey right away and we wouldn’t have this problem#i just don’t like ppl (fans and creators alike) laughing at the tedbeccas for picking up the pieces that the showrunners were putting down!#hunt and sudeikis and everyone in that room basically dangled a carrot for the last two years#and now they’re denying the carrot even existed#which does not sit right with me#also (hot take) but if the finale opened by mocking tedtrent fans and not tedbeccas y’all would (rightfully) be up in arms#the writers are adults and did not need to waste parts of the literal series finale punching down at a section of fans#whose worst crime was being annoying

I think I was so annoyed with her being vague in folklore through midnights that I was immediately gagged by TTPD because she had the balls to be unhinged, and funny, brutally honest. Which I think the three albums before it were missing one of those 3 things. It felt like I got back a piece of the old Taylor.
Anon, I really hesitated answering this, because while I don’t think you meant it that way, it comes across as a little unfair to her writing when I read it. I don’t want to put you on the spot, but I just wanted to give my reasoning (on my blog) before ending the topic.
I don’t think she’s being vague necessarily in folklore, evermore or midnights, it’s just that they’re written in different styles. Given how much word vomit I’ve spewed in the last year on this blog, I think they’re actually quite easy to digest, it’s just the vehicle driving them looks a little different. Just like I find the stories in TTPD quite clear, they’re just presented differently.
They’re all honest in their own ways, they just use different kinds of language to get there. And she was also at different levels of processing events in each of those chapters, too. As her understanding shifted, so too did the ways in which she told the stories. I don’t think it’s a question of honesty so much as time and distance from the situations in which she wrote about them. She was in different places in her life in writing them all, and the rage she felt in the moment writing TTPD is reflected in a lot of it, just as the sorrow is in midnights or the uncertainty in folklore and evermore.
Also, at the end of the day, it’s her art, and she doesn’t owe anyone full honesty about anything in her life. She can make up or obfuscate whatever she wants, as long as she can tell a story. That’s just my two cents.
#imo midnights is very honest emotionally its just that she was grappling with what it meant#and again some people just didn’t pick up what she put down#TTPD is the aftermath of it#folklore and evermore were different projects and conceits but in hindsight they’re so clear too#and with that I think I am done for the night

So I was reading articles about John Hurt (as I do when I procrastinate on life in general lol) and I saw a still shot of a movie I’ve never seen still shots of before; so I looked it up. It’s a play. I was worried I wouldn’t find it in full online; but I did, so here it is in all its glory:
youtube
He’s just… ugh I want to gently hold his face in my hands he’s just so sad and lonely with his weepy voice and eye bags. I couldn’t process half of what he said but I think this is a warning about always speed-running through life to get to the next good thing. We should appreciate the moment; because in the end, we’ll have nothing at all but our memories. If we rush through life, we won’t have any memories to keep us warm at night when the chill of death creeps up on us in our old age.
Also, spool, spooooooooooollll…….
spoooooooooooooooooooooolllllll [cackles in mentally unstable]
@kaleidoscopr @theindo @possessedbydevils @randomtwospirit
#The fucking banana. I was talking to him through the screen like#“…a banana??? You keep bananas in…. there? You good man? A—are you okay?#What the hell are y—” [cracks up but quickly stops laughing] “Oh— oh honey… you’re not right are you?#No you’re not right. Uh…. Why don’t you sit down; your breathing sounds awful. You sound like you’re gonna die…#OH GOD [loses my shit laughing/cringing ] “Oh— oh ouch. No no no— I’m not laughing at you I just— I like your actor…#a lot… too much probably#and he’s just good at what he does and the timing of it all… this is exactly how I act when I’m home alone#I swear I’m not laughing at you… I just— PUT THAT BANANA BACK YOU’RE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF”#John Hurt#stage acting#Krapp’s Last Tape (2001)#Samuel Beckett#Yeah… funky stage play. Very moving and dreamlike#[This is me gently holding Mr. Krapp and rotating him in my mind like a bowl of ramen in a microwave]#Screaming crying throwing up beating the walls#I am unwell#Ough ough ough#It’s not difficult for me to watch per se#but I’m very much the kind of person who HAS to help when someone’s having a hard time doing something#— especially if they’re old or otherwise infirm — or I’ll feel like a piece of shit for weeks… and this fucking man#this fucking man is so good at being frail and pitiful that I feel genuinely agitated that I can’t reach into the screen and help him#It’s like the torture scene in 1984 all over again where he just barely manages to wrench himself upright on the table#then immediately falls off onto the concrete floor with the most tragic sickening bone-grinding splat you’ve ever heard#AND HAS TO HOIST HIMSELF UP ONTO HIS FEET ALL BY HIMSELF WHEN HE’S MALNOURISHED AND EXHAUSTED#Like ughhhhhh let me pick him up and wrap him in a blanket and carry him somewhere warm and safe and make him an omelette#And I know I write whump and I shouldn’t be this sensitive#but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST MR. HURT YOU ARE KILLING ME#Youtube

Prompt #167
Villain smiled at the squeal of the door hinges. Hero was always so polite. No breaking walls or kicking down doors for them. They entered through a proper entrance every time.
They took a deep breath before spinning around on their heel. “Ah, Hero, so good of you to— Who are you?”
The figure standing before them was definitely a hero. They had the agency emblem embroiderer into their orange and black suit—a fire gifted then. But they weren’t their hero.
“Oh!” The hero ceased cranking their head all around the room and gave a weak wave. “I’m Other Hero. You’re new assigned nemesis.”
“B-but what happened to Hero? Are they ok?”
An entirely forced smile graced Other Hero’s lips. . “They’re fine. They’re just…creeped out by you…aaaand they don’t want to see you anymore. Anyway, moving on, what’s that scary looking thing the corner? Maybe you oughta give me a monologue?”
“I-I don’t understand,” Villain said. “I only said I liked them; I didn’t do anything. I didn’t even touch them unless we were fighting. D-did they give a reason? Can you tell me what I did? Maybe I can apologize and—“
“Villain.”
Other Hero’s stood mere feet away, their expression dropped serious.
“Hero’s asked for a reassignment. And they’re not coming back. And whether they discomfort they felt around you is deserved or not, that was their decision. Pursuing them further isn’t going to change how they feel about you. Now. If you’d like some time to process this, I can just smash that whatever-it-is and leave. But if you want to fight, let’s fight.”
#sort of starting imagining this angsty idea that Other Hero is always emotional clean up crew for abandoned villains#and usually ends up putting them back together and grows attached to them but never gets feelings in return#so while they’re mending broken hearts#they’re just getting broken further and further#because no one wants THEM#they’re just a nice pick me up#part of this is probably because the agency never allows them to stay with any nemesis too long#they’re good at what they do#so to avoid emotionally volatile villains lashing out and destroying the city#they send other hero#to calm them down#and get them back to regular evil again#hero x villain#prompt#writing prompt#short prompt#hero x villain community#heroes and villains#hero and villain

went into the notes of that poll going around about if people want more seasons of supernatural and was immediately slapped in the face with how different my priorities are in this fandom from. a lot of it. what are you talking about ‘destiel endgame’. girl the show has bigger problems to fix than that if it ever had more seasons. they taught a three year old that the best way to be loved was to continuously try to kill himself and then they made him god.
#i can’t honestly imagine any world where there’s destiel and its like. satisfying. in any way.#as in: your options here are a) ignore the last seasons of dean. not treating cas very well to put it bluntly. you’d just have to ignore#that and go straight to They’re Fine :) Happy Ending which is. what i am picking up that the people on that poll want.#or b) go all in and make this a horror story to the end. give them destiel and make it exactly as fucked and miserable as it would#realistically be. and then that whole side of the fandom would be mad because toxic gay people shouldn’t exist actually. too complicated.#and the thing is that neither of these are at all satisfying. the second one is better. but its still. bad.#im being serious here im not trying to beat down on this. i genuinely cannot see a way. with the last few seasons setting things up the way#they did. that destiel endgame would make anyone happy. or be good. at all.#anyway like i said there’s bigger problems. new god went through years of child abuse and believes he deserved it because he was born wrong.#look me in the eyes and try to tell me this will lead to a good outcome. jack is about to do godstiel arc 2 except he won’t explode from it.#he is about to kill so many people who are Bad. and not see why that would be wrong to do.#okay im done im done i swear

when i call a character a dumbass i don’t mean they’re a complete idiot who has no idea what they’re doing because 90% of the time, they know damn well what they’re doing.
when i call a character a dumbass i mean they’re a silly little guy (gender neutral). they pretend to be an idiot and they’re very good at it because they’re just a little bit stupid. they’re a dripping wet kitten. they’re a goofball. every moment they have on screen makes you ask the question ‘why are they like this (affectionate)?’
that being said sampo koski is definitely a dumbass
#honkai star rail#are you picking up what im putting down#yeah?? yeah????#i’ll call childe and zhongli dumbasses all day but they’re not stupid by any means#sampo koski

doc after is3 ending 3 spending most of whatever free time they have given the circumstances by the ocean. maybe they wade just a little ways in and the water feels a little different than before, somehow more viscous yet easier to move through, like it’s pulling them in and pushing them away at the same time. maybe they watch the setting sun bathe the surface in red and their tears make the sea just a little more salty. maybe if they focus hard enough they can still see his face in the water, maybe they would go out at night to see the soft blue glow in the gentle waves lapping at the shore, so beautiful a sight yet such a bitter evocation of their last memories of Him as he was
#maybe one day in a haze of stress and grief they decide to just go down to the shore and swim out as far as they can#but however long it takes them to finally reach the point where they’re too fatigued to swim any further#they turn back and find themselves just a few meters from the shore#find that their feet will still touch the sand at the bottom#would they walk onshore and flop onto the sand until someone from rhodes gets worried enough to pick them up#or would they just decide to float on their back in the water until then#maybe they’d hope that nobody would come to retrieve them; maybe they’d still hold onto the hope that the current might drag them out to sea#and closer to him#anyway. mizuki <3#y’know what yeah I’ll put this in the tag ig#arknights

Cellbit from QSMP and Andor from Star Wars occupy neighboring spaces in my brain, does this make sense. Proficient liars, somehow more perceptive than they let on despite being obviously clever and intelligent, paranoid and twitchy as fuck, damn good spies, prone to experiencing stretches of time where the entire universe is just so intent on fucking them over (if they’re not doing that well enough themselves already), somehow both ridiculously kindhearted and an unrepentant asshole at the same time.
Just self destructive paranoid bastards who are far too clever for their own good, yknow.
#do you get it are you picking up what I’m putting down#bags under eyes just having experienced the worst two weeks of their entire lives like I’m going to take the fucking feds/empire down#or kill myself trying#yknow?#they’re good at what they do (which is being a sneak and lying out of their ass for the greater good)#they can’t keep their nose where it belongs. and while it’s more Cellbit that can’t resist a good mystery Andor also isn’t just going to-#-quit when something doesn’t line up. or when he’s solving something personal yknow? idk#their similarities is mostly lying and then facing consequences that are like tenfold worth their actions yknow#also they can be sooo unserious. idk#anyways#mcyt#qsmp#sw#Star Wars#Andor#Cellbit#character analysis#z speaks#all this plus whatever is in them that just make people want to hunt them down. ykwim. the charm that makes people want to kill them so bad#Andor somehow manages to get personal grudges to entire government and rebel cells hunting his ass. cellbit got cucurucho and the feds -#plus literally everyone during his pretend to be a villain arc yknow#ok anyways

Everyone moved on but I’m still thinking about Aziraphale telling Crowley they’re hereditary enemies as Shakespeare chats with Juliet. Am I supposed to understand that they inspired Romeo and Juliet? Because I can 100% see that.
