The Bolter is literally so Rose Red’s cycle coded

Ace the Observer

He's like the Madam of the Brothel reveling in the enjoyment of his clients lol but you also wanna get with him 'cause he's also the hottest chick there. He's like a final boss you wanna bang

October 25th 1974 KISS backstage with groupies (and Peter's then wife lol) at the Capital Theatre in Passaic, NJ.

Just talking to my kiss friends and I’m reminded that Paul is a gentleman, the kind that kisses a woman’s hand, give those cute compliments and nicknames and now I’m going nuts

I love this man so much 🥰

The way he grabs his titties and looks at the photographer is just full of the exaggerated swagger of an 80s pretty boy rockstar

I swear to god the more I think about how Sumi's toxic/negative thoughts and behavior along with the filter's red flags were not only fully ignored but even outright ENABLED and sometimes mocked by the people around her the more horrified I feel guys. Again, fuck Shujin Academy. Not only that but her whole experience at Shujin just felt so... Isolating. It doesn't excuse it and she needed to grow out of it but it's definitely little to no wonder she primarily clung onto and became dependent on Maruki and Joker for a while.

Like her peers, Shujin faculty, hell even well intentioned ones like Maruki and even her father just kept enabling and putting on temporary bandaids thinking that what's currently happening to her and their ideas to help her were gonna benefit her in the long run when they just... Unwittingly make it worse. It's primarily when Joker steps in to tell her to STOP with the delusions and unhealthy behavior that she finally starts to show actual improvement and snap out of it. Same with her coach who had been trying to tell her to stop from the beginning.

Like don't get me wrong, Maruki and her father aren't horrible and DO care about her compared to Shujin but they kinda still unwittingly contributed to her problems by allowing her to live a lie as Kasumi. But on the other end of the spectrum, there's the added nuance that she did feel like the filter did help her (she was suicidal for Pete's sake) but also felt that she didn't need it anymore because it's ultimately not healthy and just a bandaid solution.

That and she acknowledged and admitted her own faults in the situation saying that she wasn't any better. Actually the more I think about it, the more I realize that one of the mental hangups she's dealing with is being so caught up in her own problems that she doesn't see the bigger picture of things (Kasumi not being this perfect person, Maruki's suffering despite his kindness and smiles, etc.). She even mentions it in a safe room dialogue and can even be shown in the flashback of Kasumi's death. It just kinda adds more to her selfishness even when her feelings are understandable and Kasumi's behavior and methods of helping can definitely come off as condescending to anyone. It just reached MASSIVELY unhealthy levels along with people around her enabling the toxic behaviors (Maruki included).

I guess a tl;dr is that she IS an interesting critique on Japan's fucked up mental health system and stigmas along with Maruki and I feel like people should talk about this more because it's so interesting to dissect.

I was thinking about spider!Reid, because naturally that's what I do at five pm on a Wednesday, and I was wondering if anyone would actually be interested in seeing a spider!Reid edit?? And also maybe a spider!reader fic where he helps solve a case. Mayhaps mayhaps

I'm doing my civil duty as a Kiss fan, so happy birthday Paul!!! (Also like genuinely this day was marked in my brain for months but shh)

Some favorite pics in my camera roll ft. Gene in one (I probably stole half of these from yall lmao)

Now I'm gonna be sappy and goofy. I love him so much, he's really just the total package for a rock musician. Beautiful voice, beautiful face, extremely talented. I think a lot of people forget how much this man worked his ass off for where he is. Just an absolute powerhouse. He's also one of my favorite personalities. Everything about him just feels so beautiful and interesting and I wish the best for him. Here's to another year of Paul Stanley! (I'm posting this so late)

Spiral: There's nothing quite like coming home to your mother's cooking. Pac: Can't relate. Cyli: Same. Spiral: Okay, Pac I can understand, but why can't YOU relate? Cyli: *shudders* My mom is a terrible cook...

[dreadful-windandrain]

my friends are putting on a slideshow night and i may have underestimated how complicated the plot of ghost quartet is to people who aren't mentally ill about it

because in my head it's so simple. yeah the wind and rain timeline kicked off the story but chronologically it's the second incarnation of these characters. yeah multiple characters are played by the same actor in the same timeline. yeah the storytellers are the actors using their real names. yeah they're part of the story too. what do you mean you don't get it

I NEED HIM. ITS NOT A WANT. IT IS A NEED.
