"People try to put me in a box, 'what is she?', you know. ‘It’s dance music, well no, but now it’s country or now she sings jazz, or now she wants to be an actress’, and then ARTPOP, ‘now she’s making EDM’. It just, it was always something.

I am a woman in music, I’m proudly a woman in music, and I will make what I want because women deserve the right to be free in their creations"

just want you guys to know that whenever a new season drops, and we get all the fun bts and promo and so on and we always say “something shifted” like… we aren’t wrong.

every single time we say that something has indeed—shifted.

buck and eddie’s relationship is constantly changing and evolving in whatever way you may think, and just because it hasn’t gotten to the Obvious romance portion does Not mean that we’re “crazy” or “delusional” …

there is 100% something going on, and yea i see it as a slow burn. nothing makes more sense to me

(but also this is just my personal opinion, if you think otherwise; that is totally valid and i respect you but also please do not start a fight / argument about whether if i am wrong or not. this all just a bit of fun for me, i enjoy shipping them and i enjoy believing in them getting their happy ending! if you don’t that’s totally cool, and i absolutely get it)

She's faced the hardest times, you could imagine.

And many times her eyes fought back the tears

And when her youthful world, was about to fall in

Each time her slender shoulders, bore the weight of all her fears

And a sorrow no one hears, still rings in midnight silence, in her ears.

Let her cry, for she's a lady

Let her dream, for she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.

i don't think bimbofication, or the bimbo fetish in general, really works without dehumanization. but i also can't see that as something to lament, its a fetish, its not real. i think in the beginning i was worried about wanting to make my fetish look "good" but i really don't care if it does, i'd actually prefer if it didn't, the casual use of "bimbo" is really annoying.

the interesting thing is though, even though i can acknowledge the dehumanization factor -- i can recognize that i need to be able to perceive the woman im sexualizing as stupid, and useless -- i still don't like the dehumanization to go too far. i don't like drones. i don't like dollification. as much as i like to see women being turned into stupid sluts or being able to reduce women to stupid sluts i still want those stupid sluts to have agency, it actually does nothing for me if they don't have agency. its interesting to consider. i need just enough dehumanization to get off, like a recipe.

anyway, i don't think any of this is a problem. but ethics can factor in in a way. because think about it like this. us fetishizers fetishize in different ways. some people care more about the bimbo look than the bimbo personality. some people like the look and don't like the personality. some people just like the personality. some people just like bimbos and not bimbofication... i overshot my examples but my point is. considering the dehumanization factor, considering the fact i've admitted i enjoy the stupidity factor it'd be weird to think of a real person that i know as a bimbo. that doesn't seem like a polite thing to do. is it ethical to sexualize a real person's stupidity? is ethical to think of other living human beings as stupid? i don't have the answers.

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.

"internet historian's alt-right anyways" "great day to have never liked james somerton" "never even heard of illuminaughtii before this lol"

that's great buddy but don't go around thinking you're immune to this. if you're not looking for plagiarism, you likely won't notice it unless its egregiously obvious. hell, you've probably consumed plagiarized content without even realizing it. even hbomb pointed out that these people disguised what they presented pretty well as long as you didn't try and dig deeper. don't come away just thinking of this as a callout piece, take this as an important lesson about vetting your sources. if googling scripts in quotes was enough to expose the original, we should all start doing that shit!!

edit: it got a little too doomer-y a little too fast so one quick addition

this is hbomb's curated playlist of queer creators, many of whom were victims of plagiarism

this is producer kat on reddit calling for any more plagiarism discoveries and for queer content creators to be uplifted

please take some time to uplift these creators and recommend any you know! if you can help uncover more of the original creators whose work was lifted that would be great too :)

UPDATE- From Hbomb's twitter: "We're in the process of cataloguing everyone James Somerton plagiarised and finding their contact information. Which is quite a task, so to help us out: If you see this and happen to be one of the people Somerton stole from, please email us at contact@hbomb.zone"
