#pls dont make it rain on my parade

[thefreeblog]

For the anon, with the ask about morality.

You are watching the wrong show, Only friends is not for you.

See I like to analyse plots, characters, their arcs , in general stuff related to shows.

But, and this is a huge but, I never ever want to fix anything in a show I am watching. Never.

It's not my show or story to do that.

Do I have certain expectations while watching shows? Yes I do.

Do I get disappointed if those are not fulfilled? Sometimes yes.

But even in such cases I never want the story to end in a certain way or a character to act a certain way.

It's not my story. Period.

I watch it, I take what I like and leave what I don't like. It's simple. And I like it that way.

I do this with all the shows I watch. I am doing the same with Only Friends.

Portland/Oregon playlist

Have you your truffles? Good! Let’s tune into the Portland and Oregon playlist then. I have yet to visit this part of the world but from the outside looking in, the underground music scene there looks vibrant and alive. I just knew I had to make this playlist. So grab your Goonies map and let’s get started!

[tinygoblin]

Your little groupies got the nerve to say thet were sending anon hate but your the one who started shit. It wasn't the fact that you shared the sma name as someone else, it is they way you went about it and how you handled what I had said. I simply said we aren't we dont just post pics and ask if they're a common crush. If you hand started a normal conversation first that lead into those thing that we wouldn't hand an issue but you had to be a child about it and make it bigger than need be

MY LEETLE GREWPIES also Oh Hi lmao I figured it was you omg u were so suspiciously silent! I figured you’d be the type to spam anon.

“You started it, you should have responded politely”

That’s funny because most polite sentences don’t start with “Ugh Hate To Rain On Your Parade But-“ like lmao did you assume you could be an ass and I’d just go “OWO IM SOWWY 4 TRYING 2 HAVE CONVOWSATION IM SO SOWWY SPANK ME PLS” like lmao if ur gonna be a dick I’m gonna be one right back. The entire exchange is posted right there. No one on my side is a brainwashed “groupie” they just read that shit themselves and were like “damn you people are blowing this out of proportion”

also Lizard But Cowardly And Physically Weak and Nova just. having their own circle jerk in the notes while I eat and reply to anons is the funniest shit hdjdhsjhsjd

[fyeahbbb]

Kyrie Irving pls!! Preferably about bumping into him at one of his games but you don’t know anything about basketball you’re family just dragged you there

I hope this is like you wanted 💖

After over an hour of watching men running around on a court, I told my family I’d be right back and started wondering around the TD Garden.

I wasn’t much of a fan for basketball. I didn’t have anything against it, it just wasn’t my thing. My older brother, on the other hand, lived for it. For his birthday, my parents bought the whole family tickets to go see the local NBA team, the Celtics. I was a bit bored, and I didn’t want to rain down on his parade so I decided to take a walk.

I was really far from my seats because I ended up in the tunnel, where I had a floor view of the court.

“Nice view uh?” I hear.

I turn and see a tall man in full Celtics gear. He was very good looking and muscular, and by his clothes I’d say he was probably a fan.

“Yeah.” I agree.

“You come to the games often?” I ask the man, making conversation as we both watched the court.

“What?” He chuckles.

“The game, do you come here often?” I repeat.

He seemed a little puzzled, as if it was an off question.

“Yeah, quite often.” He answer nevertheless.

“How’d you get all the way here?” He continues.

“I don’t really know. I sit over there.” I point to my row. “I just took a walk and sorta ended up here.”

“You’re a fan?”

“Not really, I’m just here because of my family. What about you?” I answer.

“Oh, yeah, I’m a big fan.” He laughs.

“I can tell. You’re full gear is putting me to shame.”

He had everything, while I just look like a pedestrian who accidentally ended up here.

“Thanks, it’s custom made.” He laughs again. It seemed as if he was getting a big laugh out of me and I just couldn’t tell why.

“You’re cute.” Suddenly, he took the conversation to a whole different place.

“Thanks, you’re not to bad yourself.” Which is a complete understatement of how hot the young man in front of me really is.

“What’s your name?” The man asks me.

“Y/N.” I smile, liking where this is going.

“Well, Y/N, can I give you my phone number? I’d take yours but I don’t have my phone on me.” He smiles.

As I hand him my phone, I realize that I don’t know his name.

“What’s your name?” I ask, getting my phone back.

“Kyrie.” He smiles at me, still enjoying his personal joke.

“Is there something funny?” I finally ask.

“No, no. But hey, I gotta go, I think they’re waiting on me.” He urges.

“Oh, okay?” I frown, sad that our time was getting cut short.

“Don’t forget to call me.” Kyrie tells me before walking away towards the end of the tunnel.

I notice his custom shirt saying ‘Irving’ as he leaves.

Kyrie Irving.

The name rings a bell, but it takes me a second to think back on how my brother used to rant about a player named Kyrie Irving. I remember his outfit and that’s when it dawns on me, that was the joke, that’s what’s so funny.

“Oh god.”

readmore for Opinions and Shit

tbh....I appreciate they Tried to address mental health here and i totally respect that many people seem to have gotten something out of it that I didn’t but. I actually really didn’t like how they chose to go about this. the readmore is so i can vent my stupid opinions without raining on anyone’s parade. Also to get this out of the way: this is not Jace hate, im as sick of that shit as anyone else, I’m just annoyed with the writing.

First off...they straight up threw in psychosis in and like....no offense but that was,,,,not Ideal, comparing psychosis or hallucination/schizophrenic symptoms to demonic possession is. Really shitty honestly and if you think about it historically it gets even worse. That was not a tactful addition and really made me uncomfortable and angry, and I felt they sort of threw it in there very glibly and...it didn’t work for me.

There were some attempts at showing Jace’s inner struggle but if you ask me conflating mental illness with demonic posession is. Really disgusting honestly, and takes away from Jace’s actual mental health issues. If anything, it sort of pisses me off that people only notice that something’s wrong when Jace is literally losing time, hallucinating, etc--and that that’s how the show represents mental illness. But fuck the fact he tried to kill himself more than once!! Never gonna bring that up again are they!!

In the books Celine does struggle with depression and--if they’d done any research they’d know that depression can be associated with sleep disruptions, adhedonia, some degree of confusion and even egodystonic delusions (separate from psychosis). Imo that could have been included much better and fit much better with jace’s actual issues (separate from Demonic Posession TM) and....would make me feel better about the fact they’re conflating mental illness with Being Controlled By Demons and Murdering People, Thanks.

I also didn’t like how the entire burden is dumped on Clary, that’s a narrative flaw for sure. There’s no indication of how this affects her, she’s just a sponge for Jace’s pain as she always is and honestly?? Don’t like that choice. Even without Lilith jace tends to be very unresponsive to her and she’s almost never allowed to struggle with that, be annoyed by that, have any human reaction but Sweet Caring Loving Little Girlfriend and. I mean no disrespect to their relationship or Clace/Clace shippers in any way but I take umbrage at how the showrunners have chosen to represent that dynamic and Clary herself. She’s never allowed her own pain unless it’s for someone else, and even then it’s so brief and usually segues to Jace’s angst and. There’s better ways to handle this.

anyway the whole thing was half-assed and honestly pretty disappointing imo, there were a lot of little things they could have done to make it better but I personally dislike the implication that people with psychotic symptoms murder people in their spare time, as if that wasn’t already a huge misconception to begin with!!!! thanks :))

anyway the whole episode was sort of a Mess and they handled this with all the tact they normally do (which is to say........None) so.....disappointed but not surprised.

anyway thanks for attending my Salty TED talk and if this pissed you off im honestly sorry and all but pls dont bother to send me hate bc i wont reply its fuckin finals

tl;dr: Stop Demonizing Psychosis/Schizophrenia You Fucking Gremlins

[leaderofthebadguys]

and here I am with part 1B, yeah hope you like it.

lyric breakdown where i discuss the songs below

Bring me the Horizon - Doomed (about the storm)

Man this one is pretty much about Nathan talking about the storm, in that AU where he was initially going to know about it.

"Cut off my wings and come lock me up. Just pull the plug, I've had enough. Tear me to pieces, sell me for parts, you are all vampires, so here, you can have my heart." "The world's a funeral, a room of ghosts. No hint of movement, no sign of pulse." "So come rain on my parade, because I wanna feel it. Come shove me over the edge, because my head is in overdrive. Im sorry but it's too late and it's not worth saving." "I think we are doomed, and there is no way back!" "You must've made some kind of mistake, I asked for Death but instead I'm awake." "The sun dont shine, it never did. And when it rain, it fucking pours, but I think I like it. And you know that I'm in love with the mess."

Bring me the Horizon - Drown

Yeah, the name kind of speak for itself. He doesn’t wanna drown.

"What does'nt kill you, makes you wish you were dead. Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper..." "And I can't take one more moment of this silence. The loneliness is haunting me, and the weight of the world getting harder to hold up." "I'm not okay! And it's not alright!" "Who will fix me now? Dive in when I'm down? Save me from myself? Don't let me drown." "Who will make me fight? Drag me out alive? Save me from myself? Don't let me drown." "Because you know that I can't do this on my own."

Bring me the Horizon - Happy Song

This one is kinda a coping song? Its about wanting to get better.

"I've had enough, there's a voice in my head says I'm better off dead. But if we sing along, a little god damn louder to a happy song, it'll be alright." "And I really wish that you could help, but my head is like a carousel. And I'm going round in circles." "We are possessed, we're all fucked in the head. Alone and depressed." "Don't wake us up, we'd rather just keep dreaming, because the nightmares in our heads are bad enough."

Declan McKenna - The Kids Don't Wanna Come Home (about his family)

Man, this one is about kids being left out by parents. People ask why a certain kid has a gun but they don’t wanna see why and everything behind it. Is the parents raising him right? Obvsly not.

"I don't know what I want, if I'm complety honest. I guess I could start a war, I guess I could sleep on it." "But hey, there, kids with guns. Your neighbours complain but they don't know where they come from." "You don't know how to give love to anyone, you don't know how to pretend. You told your kids that they'd live long forever, but the kids don't wanna come home again." "Haven't you any shame? Have you got no morals? Teaching how to aim no sadness and no sorrow." "Well there, mother mine, your kids are sick but they're gonna be just fine. I said possibly not, if you keep raising them this way. You're just leading them to die."

Declan McKenna - Paracetamol (about Rachel)

I have mixed feeling about this one, kinda talks about a guy and girl, the boy don’t wanna get to close to her, but he is love either way. And Paracetamol is a medication for pain, so we have that correlation.

"There's a boy fifteen with a gun in his hands. And the people with no audience say he should be hanged. And they ask him for his motive but they don't understand." "There's a girl fifteen with her head on a noose, because she's damned to live well she's damned to choose. And the animals walk in two's by two's." "There's a girl fifteen although she isn't sure, how the hell could you want anything more? Beautiful, perfect, immaculate whore. I'm in love, love with you." "You drive me insane, and the world will keep on turning, even if we're not the same. Don't come on to me, come on to me." "There's a boy fifteen turning into a man, well tell one other thing that he can. While you forced a smile through a jealous hand, showing love like you do." "There's a boy fifteen and he's attempted to sue. Because he is definitely sure it's true. What kind of men, kind of men are you?" "So tell me what's in your mind, and don't forget your Paracetamol smile."

Eden - Drugs (to Victoria)

This one feels like he is talking to someone who joins him in his party adventures, someone he cares about, wanna say something really important but can’t. So there is no one better than Victoria. Also the feeling to let the drugs make all the problems go away.

"I had too many flash fires, that i just let them burn. Till my cheast in on fire, and my head just won't die. I guess I'm lying cause I wanna, guess I'm lying cause I don't." "Cause I just feel so tired, like it's move or slowly die. You ain't you when you're like this. This ain't you and you know it, but ain't that just the point?" "But I'm still caught below, and I'll never let you know. No, I can't tell you nothing. 'Cause I'm a fucking mess sometimes, but still I can always be whatever you wanted but not what you needed, especially when you been needing me." "'Cause I'm a fucking mess sometimes, and I 'll say what I don't mean, just 'cause I wanted or maybe I need it." "All I needed were some words to say, that all this feelings don't mean shit to me. 'Cos it's all just chemicals anyway ... I can't love when I can't even love myself." "Things I would rather be thoughts at the back of my head, but I'm addicted to hurting."

And thats it for part 1B, i will try to bring part 2 pretty soon ^^ really hope you guys like it and share pls ;D
