no way she's alive ?? yea those mental health breaks because social media makes people suck are wild huh

Have some various OG!Shangjiu brainrot + OG!Shang Qinghua design from my side - I do like to imagine he's quite different from Airplane.

I love rareships even if they're a pain cause there is like 0 content. Guess I have to do it myself then.

Disorganized OG SQH thoughts under cut

If we can believe Airplane on SQH, his upbringing wasn't too terrible nor all that great, probably some "disposable" son in a family, starting as outer disciple on An Ding. Presumably he runs into the inadvertent ambush by Mobei-Jun, and is similarly thrown to die by his fellow disciples. Assuming this happens as such in the OG timeline, it's easy to see why SQH would have no qualms betraying the sect. Overall tho, I imagine he was ambitious even before MBJ to fight his way up the ranks regardless of the cost. I don't imagine him to be afraid to climb over corpses, if only to secure himself a place as peak lord. I could see him having a bit of a two-sidedness to him kinda like NHS. Pretend to be demure and harmless/weak to get what he wants and not draw attention since everyone assumes him incompetent outside of his work as lord of paperwork, but a lot more ruthless and unfriendly on the inside. He doesn't particularly care for his fellow peak lords and thus is willing to sell the secrets to MBJ in exchange for his life Cold and calculating, ruthless, A grade actor, two faced, rude but repays debts (like mbj leaving him alive and therefore doing stuff for him; I think he'd be aware that he's hopelessly outmatched against mbj so is this technically coercion??)

Anyway with SJ probably an enemy/rivals to lovers situation starting with a spiderman pointing meme game of "I know what you are" and ending in "everyone sucks - I agree" and watching the world burn together or something it's all still vague in my head

Ok time to yap about Billy Loomis. What is bros sexuality?

Billy is 100% gay. I also think that he’s on the aromantic/asexual spectrum, with the best label fitting him being demiaroace. In simple terms, I think the only way he feels authentic romantic/sexual attraction is when he has a very deep emotional, (whether he likes to admit that or not), bond with someone.

People often like to bring up his romantic relationship with Sidney and his sexual affairs with other women, one of which we have proof of in the later movies. Because he was dating Sidney before his mom even left, and they were known to have started off “hot and heavy”, (as Billy likes to call it), he didn’t really have any reason to be doing that. Or did he?!

It goes without being said that Billy is a conventionally attractive white male in the ‘90s. In the movie, we already see Billy’s efforts to appear as normal as possible, wearing bland clothes with little room for interpretation and speaking very little to others. Which leads to why Billyboy was sleeping with girls when he was a big fat QUEER!! …

Billy loves control! He loves it, he loves planning everything out and acting it out like it’s a movie because of his dumb special interest. He loves predictability, he loves feeling normal, and he loves having control over people. What better way to feel in control, (perhaps of his own sexuality), than by sleeping with and casually dating girls!! It makes so much sense.

How does Stu play into this?

Well firstly Stu is Billy’s only real friend. Through subtext we can tell that Billy trusts Stu a lot, considering he trusted him to 1. Call Sidney while he was in jail. 2. Be ghostface with him and have him not tell anyone. 3. Literally fucking stab him… The list goes on. People like to say that Stu didn’t know Billy’s real motive too, which is fucking stupid because why wouldn’t Billy tell him this?? One entire year between murdering Sidney’s mother and then eventually attempting to murder her and all her friends, and you’re telling me Stu wouldn’t have suspected a thing? Just for fun?? Yeah right!

Also people try to say “okay, well then why did Billy stab him so much in the kitchen if he wasn’t trying to kill him”? Firstly it was always part of the plan for Stu and Billy to be the only survivors because only one survivor is extremely suspicious. Secondly you can tell he was just not thinking clearly, he acted on his anger and lost focus of his goal (KILLING SIDNEY??NOT HIS BF??) which is something he NEVER DOES!!

Man,, the whole final act is my favorite, because it really shows both Billy and Stu coming apart and quite literally COMING OUT as the killers. Come on guys. Media. Fucking. Literacy. They literally penetrate each other right in front of Billy’s girlfriend, and that shit was freaky as fuck.

ANYway I’m going off on a tangent. I do wanna talk about why Billy didn’t explicitly say anything about being gay when he so very obviously is. Billy, in all areas, is much less obvious than Stu.

He’s closed off, secretive, keeps up a pretty believable facade to everyone until the finally is able to drop the act. It makes sense he isn’t as physically or verbally affectionate with Stu, and for this reason people are more inclined to believe Stu is gay and in love with Billy more than Billy is gay and in love with him. Well, in order to get a good sense of Billy’s relationship with Stu, you have to look deeper. Let’s start with some things from the script, since there are very few scenes with the two interacting.

Stu and Billy, in the script, are best friends, have known each other since kindergarten, and are partners in crime. Billy obviously is capable of forming strong bonds and connections with very specific people. Even unhealthily so, and we see this in the relationship he has with his mother. He idolizes her, victimizes her, makes her more than she was as a coping mechanism and never officially comes to terms with the fact his mom probably wasn’t as great as he remembers. And when his mom leaves, he breaks, needs control (as stated previously) because his life is suddenly unstable and who does he turn to? Stu!

Also I just wanna say when Stu drapes over his back Billy leans into him okay thanks. Body language in this movie means SO FUCKING MUCH TO ME these actors did amazing. When Billy follows Sidney inside the look of CONTEMPT ON HIS FACE!! The way he looks through his eyelashes. The acting is impeccable Skeety, I love you!!!! 😐😐 Also the way Billy looks at Stu before stabbing himmm…He;s in love I promise. In whatever way he knows how

Lastly the boy has autism

Passionate interests, he loves horror movies and constantly references them throughout the film. Even at unconventional times, like when his girlfriend is venting about her dead mother. Eye contact and too much staring. Meltdowns when overstimulated. The whole last act was just him stimming and destroying shit because stuff didn’t go his way. Bad reactions when plans are interrupted. At the staircase when Sid runs away he punches himself in frustration. Talks with hands in Sidney’s room about The Exorcist. Favorite person/people (his mom and Stu). Extremely overdramatic. When he got fake stabbed. When he falls down the fucking stairs for no reason. Finally, just socially awkward. Any word out of his mouth makes people uneasy. Ez

…Finally for Billy I js wanna say he arches it a lot and I think only someone who takes it like a good boy wpu;ld do that Ok im done by.e

I feel like if the twins had a youtube channel it would all be SPENDING 24 HOURS IN A HAUNTED WALMART baby slop content with them pogging in every thumbnail

Meanwhile Snotlouts channel would consist of rant videos where he complains about his life and shits on media he dislikes and overall it'd just be him being a bitter little hater

[radsplain]

yeah so anyways women PLEASE prioritize your safety first in situations like these! i don’t care if it makes you look weird, uncaring, unempathetic, overreactive, mean, rude, racist etc in the moment!!!

women are socialized from childhood to suppress our natural fear of (esp) men at the expense of our own safety. it’s okay to still hold your empathy for a person going through what’s clearly a mental episode while also not forcing yourself to sit next to a mentally unstable man as some sort of way to prove that you’re different, more tolerant, more enlightened, whatever. women get hurt by men ALL THE TIME in public. it’s okay to be cautious and LEAVE any situation of necessary.

this post is not to criticize or come for the creator who stitched the original video. i just want women out there to know that your safety comes first ALWAYS. don’t let your first reaction be to empathize with a strange (as in someone you don’t know) man who is acting unpredictably and erratically. that can your second, third, maybe even hundredth reaction once you’ve physically gotten the hell away from what could turn out to be a potentially dangerous situation.

Was suddenly reminded about this moment from a November 2020 interview where Jessica Townsend briefly talks about Ages.

Based on the timing of the interview I am unsure if the “not in the next one” bit refers to Hollowpox (which had just recently released) or Silverborn. Regardless, the idea that we might be learning more about Chronologists and Ages in future books intrigues me!

Between the clock emojis (especially the 🕰️🌌 ) and the “… before the clock strikes midnight?” part of the blurb, I think the Silverborn theories floating around regarding Eventide or just moving into a new part of the Age might be on the right track…..

as someone whose second language is english the comments from native english speakers being like ‘how could yuki not know?’ ‘i understand it’s not his first language BUT…’

but what? seriously but what? but he should have magically been gifted the knowledge of all words and all connotations ?

i saw someone being like ‘yuki speaks well enough he know what he did’ ?? what? he literally said he didn’t?

you can and should be upset, hearing someone says slurs is upsetting, i’m glad he’s held accountable. But assuming someone who is apologising for not knowing better and explaining why they didn’t know better - that they should have known better anyway is absolutely ridiculous.

y’all need to understand that slurs are fundamentally cultural and as non native speakers there are always gaps of knowledge, assuming his intentions were obviously malicious when everything getting out is only saying how apologetic and horrified he was upon learning what the r slur actually was,,, it’s just weird behavior

he was held accountable, he has a fine to pay, he apologised publicly, you take it or you leave it is your prerogative in the end ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DBI will literally just heart anything huh

[elicypher]

my biggest fear is being sent the "pls send biceps🙏" thing that's trending on tiktok rn. i would actually have to cut off all connections with human civilization and go live as a hermit

[hanzajesthanza]

god we need to bring crackfic back. or just short and idiotic ideas that wouldn’t happen but would be funny to read

[andiv3r]

Having to block everyone who has "wincest dni" in their bio not because I ship wincest (because I have come to the conclusion that I actually don't) but because I do think it'd be fun to poke around at the very real weirdness of their relationship that I've noticed in the show so far. And I'm 99% sure that my poking around will get seen as shipping.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm crazy. I might even be unfair.

But it's hard to read Sol as anything but another version of Ming if his original reason for seeking out Joe was that he went out into the world of stardom and realized that nowhere was safe except where Joe was.

He came back for safety and found that someone else had taken up residence in Joe's warmth.

And the few times he's been given the chance to elevate himself above Ming and Ming's childish tendencies, Sol has shown that he is just as preoccupied with Ming as Ming is with Joe.

Wut mourned Joe. I'm the last person to use Wut as a yardstick for what a baseline human being should be, but no one can point to ANYTHING that Wut is gaining from his affection for Joe.

He lost a friend and he mourned him. Said friend came back and Wut knows that there's more to what's going on. And even though Wut knows that Ming is a piece of shit, he's not getting in Joe's face about Ming every second. He understands that these are Joes' feelings to feel and that it's all more complicated than a clean cut.

Not to mention the fact that Wut has never compared his feelings for Joe to Ming's feelings for Joe. Why?

BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE SAME THING.

And yet, Sol who's supposed to be a friend as well, keeps seeing Ming as an opponent.

He literally asks to replace Ming in Joe's debts and to buy Joe's things back. He wants to be there when Joe goes home like Ming and chooses to hold Joe's hand rather than let him be.

It's clear what his intentions are. Every second he gets he mentions his affection for Joe.

How is this not opportunistic?

Hanging around someone who is in an abusive situation and positioning yourself as "safe" is opportunistic.

No matter how you want to spin.
