A lot of people say samjohn is not that realistic and compelling to them bc of how sam is john's babyboy and how parental this relationship is and i understand it's like that for some people but that's EXACTLY why samjohn has me on chokehold. It's exactly this bone deep father/son attachment, this massive softness and protectiveness, that at the same time is just, not innocent and pure?? It's a whole fucked up shitshow if you even look closer bc neither of them can ever be honest about their feelings and it's a bottomless well of contradiction and push and pull and it's so so enticing and alluring to me. Sammy is john's sweet must-be-protected-at-all-costs babyboy and john would kill everyone for him but is also plauged by visions of killing him??? Going through his whole life wondering if his precious son would become a monster he has to kill?? Trying to put the distance between the two of them bc he dreads the day sam would no longer be his babyboy? doing all and everything not just for revenge but to stop this from happening? Maybe it is not realistic to YOU, but i see it as one of the most delicious mouth watering insanity inducing dadsons on the world. yes man, the reason samjohn is extremely compelling to me is exactly because of that boundless posssesive, protective, sweet and violent fatherly love that is surrouned by something so so terrible inside the two of them. Something so terrible between the two of them. They are both bound together forever by Azazel's curse and it grows and rots inside them between the sweetness of their love.

okay folks, it’s Katie Rose Clarke appreciation time.

she is an absolute icon. i’m telling you, she was born to play Glinda. she is one of few actors i’ve seen who highlight the stark difference in Glinda’s life in Act One and Two so well. i mean the difference between her Popular and Thank Goodness is CRAZY.

not only that, but she’s played alongside SO MANY elphaba’s, yet brings something different and refreshing to the role every time she’s alongside someone new. and that’s not easy, considering that she’s literally the longest running Glinda (on Broadway? in total? not completely sure but she’s played this role a lot).

she’s utterly hilarious but she’s also completely heartbreaking, soul twisting, gut wrenching, whatever other words you wanna use i ran out. the emotions are so raw, you can tell she loves this role and she loves her job. if you haven’t seen her perform anything (not even just wicked. her light in the piazza performance is astounding.) RUN your little legs over to youtube and search her name because she’s SO GOOD.

anyway long story short i love KRC and you should too.

Just started the newest ZZZ special episode and... it's giving me 2nd-hand rage.

You know how in cartoons (usually comedy ones) a character will have a bunch of garbage happening around them, but they're not mad because they feel like they 'shouldn't be', so you, as the viewer, get mad for them.

Anyway that's how I feel about Yanagi's story so far.

Yanagi is essentially raising 3 children in the form of her colleagues.

Soukaku is mildly forgivable, only because my personal headcanon is that her mental growth has been stunted one way or another, and it's revealed why Yanagi takes care of her in Yanagi's teaser. So I can forgive that well enough.

But Miyabi is a different case. It's stated that she passed on all the paperwork to Yanagi, and constantly tries to get out of meetings. I know that meetings and paperwork is unpleasant, but you're the CHIEF ffs! Take some responsibility!

While Zhu Yuan had boundaries in the workplace, such as not working overtime when her job was done, Yanagi seems to have the opposite

Miyabi doesn't seem to stop or suggest stopping this kind of thing to keep her health intact either!

Harumasa isn't as bad as Miyabi, but he's not great either, as he constantly wants to slack off whenever possible.

This is the equivalent of having to do a group project with 3 unmotivated people that want to dilly-dally and sidetrack every possible conversation to avoid doing work, and ultimately, you have to take on the whole damn thing by yourself.

I'm not trying to say that the rest of Section 6 don't love or care about Yanagi at all, they obviously do, and if Yanagi had a heart attack from underlying cardiovascular disease (due to her immense work stress), the three would likely visit her hospital bed (if she was still alive, anyway, since women die from heart attacks more frequently, and she's often left either on her own, or with what is basically an incompetent child who wouldn't know the first thing about strokes or those kinds of problems)

But I don't think Miyabi would learn that this toxic asf work environment is the thing killing her, and would go back to not caring about Yanagi staying late after the first month or two of the incident.

I think the thing that peeves me the most, is how all three of them act like whiny children with Yanagi around.

As I mentioned, Soukaku is mostly excusable, since she has stunted mental growth.

But fucking Miyabi, crying about not wanting to attend a meeting, or Harumasa who faked a fucking stomachache to skip work?!

This is your job, not Elementary School! I hope one of your vacation days were snatched!

I make a big deal out of this, because I don't think that anyone should have a parent-child relationship with their colleagues, unless there is an underlying condition wherein you are the person's caretaker (Soukaku)

I would never want a parent-like relationship with a spouse, nor one with a friend. Hell, I don't need a parent-like relationship at all, since I'm an adult.

Likewise, a child's parent shouldn't be a bosom buddy.

I might just be projecting a little bit, or getting too personal, because I never want to have kids ever, and I've seen people with this kind of lifestyle where they baby everyone around them, and get fucked with little-to-no freetime, heightening blood pressure due to stress, and a lot of pent-up feelings because they can't communicate to their friends, because they treat their friends as children, and their friends treat them as a parent.

Anyways, I'm not very far into the Special Episode, so maybe Yanagi snaps somewhere or has an emotional breakdown where Section 6 (specifically Harumasa and Miyabi) can see how much Yanagi is doing, and they help to rectify this, by eventually creating a much better workplace to live in.

A lifestyle like this can't go on forever, and I hope the negative effects are shown.

i saw the sirius headcanons by @lesbianmckinnonn which inspired me,,, so obviously here’s some james ones from me

second tallest of the fearsome foursome, but like ✨tastefully✨ tall. a modest six feet, just abouts (sirius is the tallest and he looms over people)

was a very lonely child (paranoid parents who had zero friends with children his age), which is part of the reason why he latched onto sirius so intensely shortly after meeting him

more about his childhood: got spoiled rotten in an almost literal way. his parents were busy people and he had to entertain himself with his toys. whenever his parents weren’t there for an important part of his early life, he got a new gift to ease the hurt

compulsively will share everything he’s got as a result. it’s how he shows love. one time he gave peter his old racing broom and peter hit him over the head with a dirty sock

attracted to sirius but tells himself that everybody stares longingly at their best friend’s chest. or neck. or fingers. or mouth. or—

has one dimple

his family is indo-dutch but they’re quiet about it (as indo families usually are). when sirius came to live with them the jar of sambal became a staple on the dinner table, as they had to cut down on the spice in their meals but they didn’t want to let go of it entirely

thinks english food has no taste other than salt. would’ve KILLED for some nasi goreng at hogwarts. had his parents send him sambal after week after the start of his first year to put on his peanut butter sandwich

isn’t very hairy despite the hair on his head being really thick and remus once said his forearm is ‘smooth, like an eel’. james then ordered peter to hit remus over the head with a dirty sock

can’t grow a beard it becomes really patchy lol

bites his nails (lily grouses that he’s lucky he’s got long nailbeds)

is really lean and wiry, like harry, but could probably lift all three of his mates on his back and carry them to class without breaking a sweat

he allows remus to take advantage of this on the really bad days before and after a full moon and lets everyone think he’s just showing off

c a n n o t sit still for the life of him. rip king you would’ve loved fidget spinners and popits

a tactic of abusive parents that i don't see brought up very often: convincing their victims that child protective services are evil and that foster parents would certainly be even more abusive than their current circumstances

[swagging-back-to]

i do wholeheartedly believe gifting animals to elderly patients because they're lonely is the exact same thing as giving a kid an animal because they're bored.

both situations come at great cost to the animal due to neglect, abuse. in the case of the elder they have the very likely chance of being left unattended for a significant time after the person dies and having that trauma. many animals are placed in shelters after their owner dies, and then are euthanized.

hm. i do not like chilshi 🤔

[evidently-endless]

[werebutch]

My mom getting a new place is kinda making me anxious I think she thinks I’m gonna move in w her instead of my dad 😭 and I’m not sure why I don’t want to. Cuz she’s way better. But I don’t. And I feel responsible I think and plus my sisters will never favor my mom over my dad… so we’d live apart. but I’m 20 years old I can live whatever I want. But. But but but

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

Still haven't messaged my mom back. And I don't think I'm going to.

[chippendyke]

my take is that i don’t think chairface is aware of stool’s conception at all because i think he’d jump at the chance to have a mini him

[first-blight]

. . . i'm too aro for this

[agents-are-dicks]

One of my biggest pet peeves in shows is a character who wears glasses 24/7 and likely has an astigmatism suddenly just stops wearing them with 0 explanation.
