All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

i can't with all these "the show is highlighting tommy's jealousy, they're planting seeds that it will cause problems" takes like bffr. he mentioned being envious over the 118's dynamic twice, sure, but in what world (literally how?) would that cause a relationship problem? do yall expect him to be in cahoots with gerrard behind their back and murder buck to take over his life or something?? like even with the hyperbole aside, i genuinely cannot see how they can turn this into relationship drama without going against everything they showed us with tommy so far
#he literally reassured buck about his relationships in that first scene he's fine with it#he asked how buck was doing about bobby because again he KNOWS (he literally has eyes & was there to witness buck save bobby from the ship)#how much bobby means to him like do yall think 6 months into their relationship he will be unable to deal with this and what? demand buck#not be so close with them?#or that he will want to be a part of that too and buck (who in turn reassured him about this in 7x04) will be like#ā€œuhm babe you wanting to be friends with my friends is giving me the ick?ā€#like whats the logic here#i'll eat my words if 911 can spin this as relationship drama i will#but im also certain this is not going the way you guys think it will#if anything the most logical follow up to this is tommy connecting with these people more as he desires and it being a good thing for both#tommy's character and bucktommy's relationship#ok rant over#911#bucktommy#tevan#kinley#edit: the only think i can think of is if he feels neglected bc say buck needs to make time for someone else but even that doesn't make#sense because buck NEVER neglected his love interests and tommy is literally friends with all these ppl to a degree so he'd arguably#understand it more than any of his exes (none of whom had any problems with buck#'s relationships within the 118)#i think you're just ignoring the context of these scenes because they paint the bigger picture of tommy being fully accepting of these#relationships so unless something changes drastically (an external thing making him feel insecure about it/buck going too ooc and#neglecting his significant other entirely etc.) i dont see how this can be a problem#mimi.txt

#this question is very hard for me to answer so obviously I have to torment everyone else with it#cause like. like I can really see the potential in either answer. both are feasible#I will say. most realistically. to me. edwin first charles harder#because I thinkā€¦..I think the reasoning behind the other way around usually tends to be about how edwin absolutely was slower to bond and#open up in general whereas charles hit the ground fucking running#but i donā€™t think that particularly applies to their romantic relationship#if you mean ā€˜fell forā€™ in a general sense rather than a romantic one then yes 100%#but thatā€™s not what im talking about here#I have a few different reasons but generally I think edwin fell first because likeā€¦ the way he attached himself to charles and accepted him#as his person and etc is so unlike him to do with literally anyone- especially at the point where they first met/the first years they knew#each other. charles just seems to have hit him as something very very special and irreplaceable quite quickly for him to open up the way he#did and change and flourish into a fully realized person because of how safe and worthy charles made him feel#he took to charles with an unusual amount of ease and trust and I think that says something about how charles struck his heart Early#whereas with charlesā€¦ yes on one hand he did stay on the mortal plane largely because of edwin and absolutely wouldā€™ve been impacted by the#tender act of mercy that was edwin reading to him as he died so he wouldnā€™t be scared. thatā€™s absolutely what got him to trust edwin and to#want to be with him and protect him and so on#but charles would still do that and be like that under intense platonic circumstances I think#but most importantly I just think charles fell harder. when he fell is less important to me here- more important is that by GOD that boy is#down so fucking bad and outright SAYS IT in so many ways that he doesnā€™t realizeā€“ the sheer amount he restates how heā€™s content so long as#heā€™s with edwin. how he doesnā€™t want to be anywhere where edwin canā€™t follow. would and Did go to hell and back for him. believes him#to be the kindest and most incredible person heā€™s ever met. prioritizes him above anything and everything. etc etc etc#thatā€™s not to say edwin doesnā€™t feel a similar amount of devotionā€“ but charles just. really loves him with his whole person. loves him as a#fact of his existence and a piece of his very soul#idk man. it just feels like he is so incredibly smitten and he doesnā€™t even know it.#like I said though I can see both options and give reasons for both options so this question EATS at me I GENUINELY donā€™t have a super#strong feeling either is absolutely correct. itā€™s so difficult to answer theyā€™re both so smitten and have such a history and GRAHHHH#payneland#dead boy detectives#rambling#polls

My post about Anya is making like a little ruckus on Twitter and I think itā€™s crazy how many people like have a problem with it.
Like you donā€™t have to agree with how I characterize Anya and her actions but itā€™s more like, why are you focused on only one aspect of her character? Why are you removing nuance from the situation? I donā€™t see it as giving Curly the benefit of the doubt when it comes to doing better for Anya, but as exploring his character and hers relationship with a the very little authentic facts we get about them. In truth, thereā€™s a lot more I wish Curly did, even if it wasnā€™t pragmatic but I realize the issue there.
The first psychological horror game in a while thatā€™s real intricate in its storytelling and makes you need to really need to address the morality of intentions and its already getting torn asunder smh šŸ˜”
#I donā€™t know if itā€™s the case of people who hate curly and think he shouldā€™ve just killed Jimmy wonā€™t accept anything else#but I really am trying to get the idea that they were stuck for over a year in space together on a ship barely kept together with wildly#different and conflicting personalities who also got more hostile because they know they are going home to unemployment#it sounds heartless to say and he should have prioritized her more but in his head thatā€™s not the only thing he has to manage and he has to#fit the necessary actions to take in his head with all that including his perception of them as a friend vs as a boss#idk I just donā€™t believe Curly was comforting Jimmy with the intent of helping him get rid of Anya. he wanted to help both of them he went#about it horribly like the game is literally about realizing how misguided you can be and that responsibility#and how to be responsible look different even if there are better options like itā€™s just weird just block my ass dawg#also I think the argument of how could the situation be worse if he stopped Jimmy is stupid cause itā€™s under the guise that Curly would#assume someone he trusted would just try and commit murder suicide or heā€™d get degloved and all his crew directly#or indirectly killed by that friend like sorry if thatā€™s a reach statement like adding#your supplementary thoughts is how analysis is born but adding facts about events we donā€™t know happened and treating them like character#truths is lame is a cop out from actually engaging with parts of the story that adds grey areas to characters you wants to see in black#this is just a stupid like thing to me but it makes me sad cause I donā€™t even hate seeing depictions of Curly as more aware and#accommodating to Jimmy purposely but I need you to understand he thought he was doing the right thing for both his friends and his closest#friend but the key point is he thought he was doing right for both of them like what game were we both watching???#mouthwashing#like just block me pls like Anya would not share ur mindset or hold ur hand like do more than just pity her if you like her so much

thinking about todd and his resolve towardā€¦ not quite isolation, but being alone in a room full of people again. he goes along to the study room to sit on his own and do his homework, he sits at the poets table and follows along with whatā€™s being said while keeping quiet, he goes to the meetings at all but doesnā€™t necessarily contribute (in fact, if you watch him when cameron is telling the story ā€˜from camp in sixth gradeā€™, you can see that he recognizes it before any of the other poets but doesnā€™t voice it until they all have). heā€™s not alone, necessarily, if you want to get technical about it, heā€™s just lonely, and heā€™s generally okay with that. he doesnā€™t have friends and thatā€™s fine, he doesnā€™t participate in class and thatā€™s fine, he doesnā€™t have a relationship with his family and thatā€™s fineā€”he could live without any real connection and heā€™d have been, more or less, fine.
the thing about when he says ā€œi can take care of myself just fine!ā€ is that he isnā€™t really wrong, you can infer that heā€™s been doing it his entire life anyway, itā€™s that ā€˜taking care of yourselfā€™ isnā€™t the same thing as really living or being happy. toddā€™s an introvert, certainly, and even as he gets closer to the group he defaults to sitting quietly in the background, but heā€™s also denying himself community out of fear not introversion. todd isnā€™t friendless because heā€™s an introvert, although that definitely plays a part, heā€™s friendless because he pushes anyone that might want his company away. if anyone has every wanted for his attention in the first place. (neilā€™s unwavering interest in him is unique (even when it comes to the rest of the poets, who are fine with todd coming along and joining the group, but arenā€™t really hellbent on him being there in the beginning) and his refusal to accept it is a direct result of being so lonely growing up.)
thereā€™s obviously something to be said about the implications of his parents neglect, and the more than likely fact that he grew up friendless, and how those both play a part in in him being so skilled at dodging social interaction/being so avoidant of it, but by the time we see him in the movie heā€™s all but accepted his fate as being alone his entire life. heā€™s already accepted being the family disappointment, and heā€™s already accepted heā€™ll never amount to anything, and he obviously doesnā€™t like it, but heā€™d have managed living with that knowledge without the confirmation that it was all wrong. would he have been miserable? almost certainly. but heā€™d have managed. heā€™d done it for that long already, anyhow.
#and like obviously itā€™s BAD in the long run and his isolation IS only making his life worse butā€¦ genuinely heā€™d have been alright#all things considered#itā€™s super interesting to me how itā€™s neil who starts the domino effect of toddā€™s life becoming Less Shit#both by beliving in him and putting faith in him that heā€™s never seen before and refusing to let him hide away#but it isnā€™t a savior moment on neilā€™s part#and i find it so odd when people frame it as one#todd is likeā€¦ actively irritated at him in that scene šŸ˜­#neil is right that todd needs to get out of his shell and put himself out there and Believe in himself#but todd canā€™t accept it yet because he canā€™t see what neil sees in him yet and doesnā€™t believe it exists at all#and it frustrates him because unlike everyone else neil REFUSES to give up on him#and as far as todds concerned itā€™ll be for nothing#as far as toddā€™s concerned ā€‹neil isnā€™t a savior or a hero in that scene heā€™s an annoyance#a necessary one in the grand scheme of things but an annoyance all the same#i think people forget that just because todd DOES want to break out of his shell (ā€˜donā€™t you think you could be?ā€™ / ā€˜no! iā€¦ i donā€™t know!ā€™ +#ā€˜come on you heard keating donā€™t you want to *do* something about it?ā€™ / ā€˜*yes* butā€¦ā€™) doesnā€™t mean he knows how or believes he actually CAN#todds autonomy can be taken away from him a lot (ironic) and he can be twisted into someone with no opinions or thoughts or whims +#outside of neil but that isnā€™t really the case#and a part of that blame lands on the movie because todd doesnā€™t get explored a lot but thereā€™s still evidence of him being his own person#heā€™s not a yesman and he tells neil when his ideas are stupid (keeping the audition from his father) or he just doesnā€™t personally agree +#(the entire ā€˜noā€™ scene) and he functions perfectly well when neil isnā€™t around and while they arenā€™t focuses +#there are short scenes where todds alone or scenes that start eith them apart that make it clear they arenā€™t attatched to each other +#in the way people can often write them to be (that is in the trenches if the other is missing)#this post and all these tags are my long winded way of saying FUCK the codependent anderperry thing some people subscribe to it makes me#mad#neilā€™s goal is to help todd grow into himself and become his own person and find his identity more than anything#and todd doesnā€™t need neil to hold his hand to do literally anything and everything heā€™s a normal guy with anxiety#come on guys#dps#dead poets society#todd anderson

Some man on twitter took the opportunity of someone literally celebrating Ruth Bader Ginsburg's 90th birthday to push the "Ginsburg should have retired and this is her/Democrats' fault" line and unfortunately I have some time on my hands so you're getting this rant from me again.
First and foremost, putting the blame on a dead woman when there is a living man who is more directly responsible for losing control of the Supreme Court is profoundly stupid and while I doubt it's consciously misogynistic it does reflect a society that holds women responsible for everything.
I don't know how many times I can say this, but we didn't lose the court in 2020, we lost it in 2018 when Anthony Kennedy retired and Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed. A 6-3 conservative majority is certainly worse, but the Dobbs decision, for example, would have been the same.
You don't get to blame Democrats or Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the fact that you dismissed the importance of the Supreme Court in 2016. Whatever you think should have been done in 2014, you knew what the reality was in 2016. There was already an open seat on the Supreme Court during that election.
If Hillary Clinton had won in 2016, Antonin Scalia would have been replaced by a liberal justice, likely Merrick Garland, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg would have been replaced by another liberal justice. Anthony Kennedy would either have remained in his seat or been replaced by a moderate or liberal justice. The tentative 5-4 liberal majority we had prior to 2016 would have become a tentative 6-3 majority with a solid 5 liberal votes. This Supreme Court would not have overturned Roe and would not be threatening policies like student loan forgiveness and affirmative action. That is the court we would have if 50,000 people in three states had voted for Hillary Clinton.
Instead, Donald Trump appointed three Supreme Court Justices and there is a solid 6-3 conservative majority that will continue handing down horrible decisions that are nakedly political and barely even bother with constitutional justification. At the moment we're basically waiting for a couple of them to die and hoping there is a Democratic president and senate when it happens.
I think the position that Ginsburg should have retired in 2014 is heavily influenced by hindsight, but even accepting that it was a good idea, it's not as simple as people who began believing it in 2020 make it sound. First of all, I cite 2014 because Democrats lost control of the senate that year. This argument relies on Democrats seeing that loss coming. Even if they could do that, Democrats did not have filibuster-proof majority in the senate in 2014. At the time, senate rules required such a majority for supreme court confirmations. Harry Reid had only recently changed the rules to allow all other federal judicial nominations to be confirmed with a simple majority.
It's easy to forget now, but the level of Republican obstructionism during the Obama administration was unexpected. The rule change came about because there were so many judicial vacancies. Unfortunately, not all of them were filled even after the rule change, which allowed a number of Republican appointments during the Trump administration. I didn't have a position on senate rules in 2012-14 because I was in high school, but my position now is that I support ending the filibuster.
I think it's very clear that Republicans will simply change the rules to benefit themselves anyway the second they have power, so Democrats are not gaining anything by preserving the filibuster. However, I reached this position with the benefit of having observed Mitch McConnell's actions as Majority Leader between 2015 and 2019. Democrats in 2012-14 did not have that benefit. I don't know how predictable this Republican behavior was, but it's certainly not the same as having observed something that already happened. If Mitch McConnell had not already changed the rule for Supreme Court confirmations in 2017 in order to confirm Neil Gorsuch, I would have urged Democrats to do it in order to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson. But I don't know if it's fair to expect Democrats to have done so in 2014.
It's also worth remembering that the open politicization of the Supreme Court is fairly recent. It's been obviously political at least since the 1980s, but for quite a long time both parties kept up a pretense that it wasn't. It's easy to see why Democrats might not have expected Republicans to keep a seat open for an entire year rather than even give a Democratic nominee a hearing.
I think "in hindsight, things would be better if Ruth Bader Ginsburg had retired in 2014 and Harry Reid had changed the senate rules so Democrats could confirm a replacement" is a reasonable take. But it's academic. There's no point in assigning blame. And Democrats clearly did learn from this, because Stephen Breyer retired and was replaced by Ketanji Brown Jackson.
And, once again, whatever you think should have happened in 2014, we all went into 2016 knowing exactly what did and did not happen. Few people were saying Ginsburg should have retired at that time, and even those who were would not have been justified in not voting for Hillary Clinton, or discouraging others from supporting her, or downplaying the importance of the Supreme Court.

resignation letter is the most potent painkiller. i love you resignation letter i love you one month notice <3
#tmi but im regular again and literally the only change is because i've been eating enough to shit daily#i was in such a bad headspace these past few months that i could barely bring myself to eat#i'd go to sleep with my work uniform still on and wake up willing myself to get up for 30 mins and then brushing my teeth and going to work#with the same clothes i slept in#i stopped hanging out with my friends. i had nightmares abt my job.#i can only take care of myself on my days' off and i cant grok anything other than shallow entertainment like wrestling#everything else is too much for my brain to handle. i'd simply forget everything i read or play or even listen to#those three months are miserable lmao#its not just my job... its also the family issues i've been dealing with#yknow remember when i said i could have died? yeah that shit was real. fuckin love it when my mom admit my dad have the capacity to be a#family annihilator. but... since my dad have a job to keep him busy and we moved to a house where me and my sister and#my mom and dad get to have our own rooms... and my dad get to live near his old friends and family...#things have been getting better. usually we had a physical fight every two months but it hasnt happened yet and i seem to get on with him#better now. so... i guess im gonna be okay. i've been so tired and trapped#stuck between two places that are both physically and emotionally draining with no reprieve#things are changing. and i find that to be comforting despite how up in the air the future might be. i might be screwed but also? what if#i'll be fine? im at a point where im accepting any drastic changes even if its for the worse#funny how i used to like my job a lot. i guess im not to be comfortable with anything long term#posts about my life
