#the fucking sand is2g

[seagulley]

check out this animal

we hung out with a dogue de bordeaux (pictured) and a maltese (not pictured) today.

kaija was an absolute menace and would not settle for the majority of the evening for reasons unknown. she did however warm up to a very exuberant giant breed adolescent that weighed 2x as much as her, so overall i’m counting this outing as a win.

Jotting down some thoughts about Only Friends Episode 4:

spoilers, obviously

That first scene with Ray broke me, that feeling of worthlessness and how everyone must hate you hit a little too hard for me

I was right thinking that Ray is closer to Mew than the others (and maybe vice versa), possibly because Mew is his emergency contact and saved him when he was feeling suicidal; which reminds me of when Ray told Sand that it was his turn to save him after Sand took care of him while he was drunk

That one person's theory that Ray is using Sand as an emotional replacement for Mew, who he already holds on a pedestal and probably is attached to Mew more than he likes Mew, is probably true. Idk I'm not really analyzing but I genuinely feel that Ray uses people as an emotional crutch in order to get things from them that he never got from his own mom - love, compassion, someone to hold

Cheum is so me: "Ray, if I wasn't a lesbian I would love you"

Side note: I love scenes where all four of them are together and doing friend stuff even though they're all backstabbing each other (except Cheum, bless her)

The fact that Boston saw his two close friends kiss and recorded it, kept it for two years without saying anything is so???????? I want to crack open his head and figure out whats wrong with him

Ray saying Sand is not his type after he had his tongue down his throat not 30 minutes ago is??????????

Ray still being in love with Mew is so sad especially when Mew clearly only sees him as a friend (He's gotta be on the ace-aro spectrum is2g Mew is demisexual and probably aroflux or something along that line. Trust me, I'm also ace(-probably aro) and he's just like me)

Mew laying clear boundaries with others is hot. Actually, yes, kissing someone who is asleep without their consent is weird and you shouldn't do it, this isn't a kdrama Ray, you can't get away with it

I can't wait for Nick to rock Boston's shit I'll be honest, I really want him to try and blackmail Boston into a relationship, they can be red flag4red flag

Top really has the AUDACITY to call Mew his future boyfriend as if he didn't fuck Boston like he had something to prove just the other day, all men do is lie

That airplane with a B on it....the photobooth at the hotel.....Top I was really rooting for you but you're getting on my last nerve...

Ray is the kinda guy that doesn't know what the price of eggs are

"I do want money but friendship and love can't be bought" Sand I literally can't relate, would love someone to buy me things in exchange for my friendship

Raysand is so cute at the guitar shop I just know Ray is gonna leave Sand broken hearted, there's no way Sand is getting out of this unscathed

Ray is so lovely when he apologizes and looks up with those puppy dog eyes I would forgive him too, its okay Sand

Sand loves arctic monkeys and oasis 😭 move over Ray, I can treat him better

Every time Boston is in the same frame as Top, I let out the biggest sigh; I love Ton, I won't lie, but God I need him to leave topmew alone (on the other hand, I wanna see Mew rock both Top and Boston's shit)

I love that scene in the elevator when Top was reading Ton to filth but couldn't he had done it before he had sex with him???? Like Book, I too will bring up that car scene every single time

God I don't trust Top

Out of context BostonNick is really cute, I wanna see Neo and Mark together in another series where they get play boyfriends

also Nick relistens to that damn audio more times than I rewatch episode 12 of Mignon

Nick trying to blackmail Top instead of telling Mew is such a choice. "Can you stay away from Boston?" bruh he's trying to, Boston is the one that appears out of nowhere like that one mosquito

"Top stole my ex" OH MY GOD OHHHHH MY GOD I KNEW IT BUT IT STILL TOOK ME BY SURPRISE

Book is so fine, idk something about the glasses gets me in every scene he's in

unrequited love for your best friend is so rough, I feel for you Ray (but he has a point. Mew, do you really want Top as your boyfriend?)

"Who punched you? I want to give them a trophy?" You can suck his dick too, Ray, since it's Sand

For a second I forgot who Beam was 😭 I was so focused on Boston and Top that I forgot Top slept with the entire young adult male population of Thailand

"Beam is a drug dealer" hOW IS THAT ANY BETTER?????

"Are you okay with that?" WHY WOULD HE BE OKAY WITH HIS POTENTIAL BOYFRIEND DOING COCAINE?????

why do I have the oddest feeling that Mew has some kind of background with dealing with addicts cuz that "quit drugs" speech was a little too impassioned. like a previous family member or someone was an addict and now he no longer wants to take care of people who are addicts because of how emotionally exhausting it is. maybe this theory is coming out of my ass but it might explain why he keeps Ray strictly as a friend (since not only is he an alcohol addict he also does cocaine???? boy are you trying to kill yourself?) and he gets mad at top for also doing drugs

i thought mew would use sex as a way to prove that he and ray were strictly friends, not as a reward to get top to stop doing drugs. i'm so flabbergasted and also top is kinda weird for wanting sex as a reward for taking care of himself but whatever

now I'm distracted at the fact that Top brought a packet of cocaine with him to Mew's place like??? was he planning to sniff a line while Mew was sleeping or...?

Man I was wrong about that airplane....but my point still stands

out of context topmew is cute

ray just wants to feel important to someone but now that mew has top, he's gonna cling to sand....i'm sad i just want ray to love and be loved

sharing music is a love language

the next episode looks too happy, i dont trust it

Okay but Brienne going to Dorne and ALL THE MEN loving her and then when Jaime comes to Dorne (i get that that was bs bit I support him going to get Myrcella) she helps him and they get out without Ellaria laying her lips on her

I could get behind that if…. in book canon ellaria wasn’t out of all that bullshit and wanting peace IS2G, that storyline was spread with the sand snakes and arianne martell and at the end they all made peace and banded to fuck cersei up, jaime never went there and they actually tried a coup to put myrcella on the throne which ended… not that great but myrcella also liked it there gdi XDDD like the moment jaime got there he wouldn’t leave if we stick with book canon :PPP

I feel so powerless as I scroll thru the news, seeing how the world is ending, how countries are regressing, how humans are being robbed of their rights, and how people literally don't care about saving lives. It bothers me that people don't care about the Amazon because it isn't trendy enough--yes, trendy, because if it was some touristic sh*t where people took their selfies, believe me that people would be giving millions to save it. It bothers me how the government is corrupted, how you're not safe in you own country, how some people cannot go back to their country because it's dangerous as fuck and how some people are put in jail for crossing borders to get a better life. Is2g these past months are bad news after bad news, and as much as I try to bury my head in the sand I feel overwhelmed by how disastrous the world is. So yes, let's pray for the amazon but please, if you can donate, donate; if you can't, spread awareness so the people who can do something will have no other choice but to act!

Ichigo and Rukia (Bleach) - god… they were the best… deathberry… black sun white moon… the sand and the rotator… changed each other’s lives… literal soulmates… but apparently they’re just bros… ok… “bro i can’t keep up with the speed of the world without u bro”… yep sounds legit. totally just bros. bury me with my jar of salt…

also: Edward and Winry (FMA) - we watched them grow together !!!!!

Haruka and Michiru (Sailor Moon) - iconic 90′s space magical girl lesbians A++ fabulous max taught little me the meaning of Drama™

Touya and Yue (CCS) - iconic 90′s useless bois in love, canon soulmates across the CLAMP multiverse like ur faves cannot even

Aneela and Kendry (Killjoys) - THEY’RE VILLAINS AND THEY’RE EVIL AND SO COMMITTED TO IT BUT THEY’RE SEEING THE GOOD THINGS BECAUSE OF EACH OTHER AND I’M SO FUCKING INVESTED “YOU’RE MY TETHER KENDRY” THE FUCK YOU CAN’T SAY THAT STOPPIT

i hate this i’m all in a fuff about game of thrones bc the new series is airing and i’m EXCITED bc i’m a desperate book loser who’s LOVED this story for like 9 years and i just want to know! what happens! and i can’t even get that from the show except mayybe very broadly speaking because the fuckheads making it hate the books and have completely changed (and as a result DESTROYED) almost every important AND unimportant character/story arc in the entire show! like....how!?!??! the books are all written! it’s all right there already written! and as a bonus they’re written WELL!! and they still couldn’t manage it! alksdjnf i love asoiaf sooooo much and i am SO salty bc i don’t hate game of thrones (even though i should!!!), i was thrilled by the first season and watched as all the actors were cast and was so excited to see everything come to life and it was about as good as could be hoped for, i loved the cast, loved the music, and certainly had some quibbles but it was mostly tolerable stuff (Ros. Jesus christ why. Tyrion’s introduction in the show...STILL fucking pisses me off it’s so stupid but was indeed good foreshadowing of what utter fuckwits D&D are) but then....they never recovered from the mistakes they made in series two when they proved themselves totally incapable of handling the LARGER (IE THE ACTUAL) story they’d taken on. :/ The structural changes/mistakes they made in series two have basically carried through the entire show and just gotten worse and worse and worse with each series up to series 6 which was...slightly improved in watchability if nothing else. Like these are major (MAJOR!!) character arcs they've RUINED just off the top of my head lmao

JON SNOW. Oh my god I can’t it breaks my HEART man! I fucking love Jon to DEATH!  Also tbh Kit Harrington is not a good actor. 😩

DANY. Emilia Clarke is so so soooooo horribly miscast it physically pains me. They obviously cast her solely based on Dany’s arc in S1 (by far the most compelling part of her story in the show) and wholly neglected to consider the range her actress would require to portray her in future seasons. That and they can’t write for shit, as we know. S2 and S4 are especially disastrous.

Catelyn. This was like one of the earliest signs, when they sidelined Catelyn, one of the most important POV characters, to make HER story about fucking King Robb, that these dudes were morons who either did not understand or actively disliked (actually both tbh) the source material lmao. And cutting Lady Stoneheart? Unforgivable. Lunacy.

Bran. I genuinely think they hate Bran and are among the obnoxious segment of readers who consider his (very! important! representative!) character arc as “boring” bc they use him purely for exposition and as a supplement to Jon’s arc? wtf is wrong with them?

Jaime. They’re actually insane for the shit they’ve done with Jaime’s character lmao, like Jaime’s character is about redemption and identity, his entire arc is about him DETACHING and growing AWAY from Cersei and beginning to see himself as a whole person APART from her! oh my god. also they made him a rapist? Unforgivable.

Sansa. The butchery of Sansa’s arc is a lot more subtle than the others until they marry and rape her in S5 for shock value but literally the way they hobble her arc in King’s Landing is absolute bullshit lmao. They give her basically no character development for 3 whole seasons bc they spent so much time fucking around with characters like Margaery and Olenna and Loras and the Tyrion/Shae relationship but then she’s whisked away by littlefinger and all of a sudden becomes an Exceptional and savvy liar who can read people and play their hallowed Game with ease. They are fucking morons.

I can’t even talk about the Martell’s lmao. Oberyn is one of the best, most magnetic non-pov characters in the books and a) he’s horribly miscast and b) they turned him into an absolute JOKE!! I don’t need to go on about the sand snakes bc i refused to watch past ep2 of S5 and enough people have done that already lmao, they made the whole of Dorne into an extremely racist and disturbing JOKE. The changes they made to the Stannis/Renly/Melisandre characters/arcs left gaping holes that FUCKED the rest of the show lmaaaoooo is2g season 2 was truly their absolute structural downfall. Stannis and Renly are colossally miscast and I fucking can’t stand the way Melisandre was written, she’s literally just played as this abhorrent manipulative mole, and Stannis as her fanatic fool. 😩 Arya’s arc didn’t fair quite as badly but it's been heavily watered down. Her time at harrenhal and journey across the riverlands is probably the most harrowing part of the entire story you can FEEL her losing herself, like, the scene of her kill in ASoS is UNFORGETTABLE, but in the fuckin show the whole time it’s just like, Arya and Friends on some more Shenanigans, now with some sexual violence in the scenery. I’ll never forgive them for the shit they did with Ramsay and Theon. Like of everything they’ve done Ramsay is probably ACTUALLY...the very very worst of their abhorrent decisions. LIttlefinger is such a stupid character like, they reduce him from a savvy and unreadable but INTERESTING piece of shit businessman with investments ALL OVER the country to the piece of shit owner of this ONE SPECIFIC brothel that he micromanages and apparently uses as his ~base of operations~ lmao so they have an excuse to fill the screen with softcore porn at every opportunity. oh my god they lose so much ground in littlefinger’s brothel with worthless scenes and exposition at the start of s2 i literally wanted to strangle them. all their dialogue makes me wanna strangle them lmao (HOW??? when Martin they have so much good dialogue to work with???). basically the only character who’s arc they don’t unutterably destroy is Ned, and that’s only because he dies before they get the chance.

Basically game of thrones is a terrible show, save yourself and avoid at all costs, unless you wanna read the books in which case ENJOY the hell.

Basically, FINISH THE BOOKS MARTIN YOU UNWASHED TURNIP
