MARILYN: Remember, I said if anybody asked you what I was like, what Marilyn Monroe was really like—well, how would you answer them? I bet you'd tell them I was a banana split. TRUMAN: Of course. But I'd also say... (Marilyn! Marilyn, why did everything have to turn out the way it did? Why does life have to be so fucking rotten?) I'd say... MARILYN: I can't hear you. TRUMAN: I'd say you are a beautiful child. - MUSIC FOR CHAMELEONS, TRUMAN CAPOTE

ARMYs are really just burnt out and I don’t think the rapid fire pace of releases has helped anything. It’s amazing as a fan to get all this music, but the expectation to chart everything I think is unrealistic and kind of overwhelming. People just don’t have that kind of time, energy, or money to go all out for every comeback when they happen every other month, sometimes several in a single month. It especially doesn’t help if ARMYs aren’t feeling the song, and I don’t think they’ve felt quite a bit of CH2 music.

I have longer thoughts on all this, but I just have so much annoyance towards some chart ARMYs and their unrealistic expectations and their refusal to acknowledge that the current organized fandom streaming power isn’t what they think it is. Another big wave of HL victimization (but sometimes TH is also included??) from ARMYs and it just opened the doors for so much resentment and hatred to be thrown towards jkk but especially Jimin. It was really disturbing to go and block these people & find I had 5-10+ moots following each time. It’s really out of control.

I’m just tired of this RL discourse while they ignore the twenty elephants in the room that explain why the streams are where they are (and no it’s not because “ARMYS hate RL”.). Instead they just throw these tantrums that further divide an already deteriorating and toxic fandom. I don’t know what it will take for them to understand that a fandom that doubled with Dynamite is going to prefer pop music, and that the majority of ARMYs are in fact not zombie streamers but fans who casually listen to the music that appeals to them. Not to mention the fact that a lot of ARMYs aren’t even active right now, so many of them have been dropping off and waiting for BTS to return as a group.

It really just keeps getting worse and worse in ARMY spaces. I’m pretty sure active ARMYs are about 90% diet solos at this point. It’s extremely messed up what a lot of them can get away with saying and not get canceled or called out for. It’s also just this hyper-fixation on drama, shooter accounts, NewJean’s, MHJ, raging against whatever fandom approved villain of the month, trending pointless hashtags for random reasons, and then being shady and resentful because of these arbitrary goals they set that are often influenced by using Jimin as a goalpost.

it is literally not about legality, if you’re in your late 30s literally what are you hitting up 21 y/os for. Don’t you have investments to make.

being daigo in january 2017 was probably the happiest month of his life because he just got out of jail Again for a crime he didnt commit Again and he's probably thinking how he has to keep running the tojo clan if he wants to respect kiryu even though hes """""""'gone""""""""" or whatever and then some bitch with the newspaper in his ear like 'the governor's trying to evict us what should we do' and i can only imagine the LOUDEST sigh of relief this man had to internalize as he began to flesh out his two-year plan then and there

[ratatatastic]

mkay i wrote two more good chunks (bringing us up to exactly 4k fucking words...........) of byan's bio but i'm just starting to touch on the actual lowest, darkest point of their life and it's not really helping the already shit place i'm in mentally, so. think i'm done for the night lmao

[paperbag1999]

i’m someone who sees things in like constant shades of grey and i quite often try to see the light side of things and i think i’m constantly reminded of all the great stuff i have in my life. also i am full of gratitude all the time and also every time something bad happens to me i’m like yknow what this makes sense🫶 all these bad things suck but they lead to so many amazing things i’m hyper aware of the butterfly effect. so uhm i’m a pretty resilient person if i do say so myself. so today when i came to the realization of OH. i’m having a BAD YEAR!

Someone give me an accurate summary of the next 20 or 30 years of human history? I have decisions to make based on what will happen or what will not and it would be really useful to be able to predict those.

"oh har har aang's a pacifist well what about this sequence"

Nah shut up. Yes, you can show me a scene of firenation soldiers falling from a great height, or sand benders getting left behind, etc. I don't care. This is the kind of cinemasins nitpicky crap that people love but which flies in the face of storytelling.

Aang is consistently a pacifist, and the only IN-STORY time he's actually killed people is meant to be the finale of s1, when the ocean spirit takes over his body and rages against the fire nation fleet.

The other times that people like to emphasize, like when people fall etc. is not meant to signify their death; it's just an action sequence. Similarly, when Katara freezes those two boys in season 2 (toph's first appearance) it's played off as a joke--it's not meant to mean that they will die or lose limbs bc of frostbite, it's a comedy bit.

I think nuanced watching, particularly of animation, means accepting what we're directed to take as real and what we're not. And frankly, even if we're going to be as literal as possible, even the deaths from the falls wouldn't necessarily be fatal, since bodies clearly work differently in this world. (Ty Lee, for instance, can jump in ways that no one else can, Mai's knife throwing similarly defies logic, bending exists, etc.) I know people like to have fun, but just ignoring cinema shorthand and just trying to be as literal as humanly possible just kind of stunts our own storytelling literacy.
