can i be real with you guys. the last upload (a new era, posted on amazingphil) did the opposite of what uploads usually do. and by that i mean like. usually when they upload there's an overall fandom-wide calming effect because we can see what they've been up to.

when they go a long time between videos we get. intense. about what they might be doing behind the scenes. usually new uploads relieve the building tension.

but the calming effect only works when the video takes more than minimal time and energy to create. that q&a could've been a liveshow!!!

out of seven uploads since may 17th, only 2 have not been reaction/q&a videos: the golden piggening & the drinking game, both of which were sponsored. it is so, SO abundantly clear that their time and energy has been focused elsewhere.

so every time we get a new low complexity upload it just makes the not knowing harder to bear. what the FUCK are they up to!!!!! this q&a just made things so much worse to bear!

I wouldn't say I think buffy is already suicidal in season 2 the way she is in season 6 and arguably lage season 5 but I do think ALL THINGS CONSIDERED it feels... a bit telling that buffy hears a story about a guy in the 50s who killed himself and just Immediately understands and identifies with him

ok but imagine crowley discovering chappell roan after s2e6

like i see him hearing casual and losing his mind over it for a week and then going and listening to all of the rise and fall of a midwest princess. and when he gets to coffee he has to turn it off and doesn’t listen to the rest of the album for another two weeks.

finally he goes back and when he gets to (back to back!) picture you and kaleidoscope he decides chappell roan must be a demon because (un)holy SHIT

and then he finds good luck babe and omg! he’s like you know what yeah you could’ve had me! but you fucked up! (but he still can’t listen to coffee without bawling)

but. a few weeks later he sees a video of her performing subway. and boy does that take him back to square one

It's so hard to find examples of quadrant type relationships in media, mostly because the framework that they're described under is so alien, and the environment that even brings about those types of bonds in general is so extreme, that typical people don't tend to even develop those types of feelings in the first place.

For example, the kill or be killed mentality of Alternia is what brings about the need to Pacify in the first place, and combining that distrust and competition of the planet with the necessity of the drone visits is what makes kismesissitude more common than it would otherwise be, imo. The structures of Pity and Hate (not the same as how we use the word here) as foundations of romance are just so different that it makes sense that it's difficult to find examples. When people talk about the quadrant framework as applied to our world or media, they tend to water it down or twist it in a way that makes it more digestible to whatever cultural norms they hold. (Normal dating, bestest best friends who kiss/qpr, rivals to lovers, That Fourth One)

Which is what makes it even more fascinating to me that when the perfect example of Pity and Hate and Pacification driving an intimate relationship stared me right in the eyes in my analyses, when I was writing them down with my own hands, I completely missed it until I saw @lucabyte 's posts about it, but it's so clear. There is so much intensity in Loop's feelings towards Siffrin, their searing resentment and hatred and pity and protectiveness and jealousy and fondness and revulsion and desire, and all are true at once and all are genuine. Siffrin's pity for Loop is equally as intense, once they Know the truth, and his desire to Make It Up To Them in whatever way that he can is so strong that even if Loop wins their fight, and is strangling them, they never once try to hurt Loop back, only tries to free themselves, and even after that, they still gently cup whatever modicum of face that Loop has in their hands and gives them nothing but gentle reassurance and praise and gratitude and compassion and care. Still wants them to stay. The whole Act 6 fight is an act of Pacification by Siffrin to Loop.

THIS is my Rook, and I am enjoying her quite a bit, even when I'm finding other areas of the game lacking. She's a cheeky lil' shit of a crow who's trying her best.

You may think I’ve been annoying lately, but given that Gerard Way wrote the line, “Cause I’m her kind of girl, and she’s my kind of boy,” into a song and then performed it, like, so many times within the past year, it’s truly amazing that I haven’t been more annoying than this. This is actually me showing incredible restraint.

Natori is desirable, has always been desirable, had "the looks and the grades," makes a living off of being beautiful and charming and good at provoking feeling in other people and is at the same time totally uninterested in pursuing any of that interest and seeing if it could develop into something deeper. he rejects the girls at school even more preemptively than he rejects matoba, who suggests he might be useful. he's deeply, profoundly lonely throughout all of this and tbh I think being wanted actually makes it worse in some ways, because the people closest to him who should love him best think he's a curse and that makes casual interest and affection feel cheap, unearned, and ultimately disposable. naturally his two careers are:

attractive man plays pretend

loner weirdo does rituals on outskirts of society
