#the hypocrisy stinks

[alltflyter]

I would perhaps deign to admit that on the scale of coping mechanisms, hopping on the bus for a day trip to another town is most definitely on the more normal and indeed healthier side of things, isn't it? I could be doing hard narcotics right now

Tangerine is one of the two deuteragonists (along with Lemon) of the 2022 action comedy film Bullet Train, based on Kōtarō Isaka's 2010 dark comedic thriller novel Maria Beetle.

He and his brother Lemon are a famous assassin duo called The Twins. By the time of the film, Tangerine and Lemon are hired by the White Death to escort his son and his briefcase to him on a bullet train.

He was portrayed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who also played William Rollins in Chatroom, Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ray Marcus in Nocturnal Animals. As a child, he was portrayed by Miles Marz.

History

In the past, Tangerine and his brother Lemon completed a job in Bolivia and kill an entire camp of guerillas. Unbeknownst to them, the guerillas were men of the White Death, causing him to travel to Bolivia and leave his wife's side. After the wife is murdered in an assassination attempt, the White Death hires Lemon and Tangerine for a mission on a bullet train in the hopes that they are killed by other assassins he hired.

Lemon and Tangerine are first seen on board of the bullet train in a compartment with the White Death's son. They banter for a short while until getting a call from one of the White Death's goons telling them to make sure the briefcase is still in their possession. Lemon tells Tangerine that he safely stashed the briefcase but upon checking the place where it should be, they realise it has been stolen. When they return to their seats the White Death's son has been poisoned and killed by an assassin named The Hornet.

Soon after they arrive at a train station, where goons sent by the White Death are waiting. Tangerine tells them that everything is under control outside, while Lemon puppeteers the son's corpse inside the train. The goons believe them and Tangerine returns inside.

After that the pair comes up with a plan to retrieve the briefcase from the thief. Tangerine finds another assassin called Ladybug on the train. He realizes that Ladybug stole the briefcase and chases him down the train. The chase ends, however, when Ladybug pays another passenger to wear his hat and glasses and uses firecrackers in a train car to distract Tangerine. Upon returning to his original seat, Tangerine finds an unconscious Lemon, who has been knocked out by Ladybug and wakes him up. They both come up with a new plan to catch Ladybug and head off into different directions.

After tracking Lemon's phone that Ladybug stole Tangerine finds his thief hiding inside a toilet. They both get into a fight across the train that ends with Tangerine being about stab Ladybug in the eyes with chopsticks. Their fight is interrupted by another call from one of the White Death's goons. He demands that both Tangerine and Lemon are present in the meeting at the next train station. Ladybug offers to step in for Lemon as they don't know what he looks like and Tangerine accepts. Ladybug wants to get the briefcase for the meeting but realizes it has been stolen by the Prince and Kimura.

They decide to take a fake briefcase and the meeting goes well until Ladybug accidentally opens it and reveals the clothes inside. They escape back to the train and try to come up with back-up plan until Ladybug pushes Tangerine out the train at the next station just as the doors are about to close. Tangerine jumps back onto the train and breaks through a window to get back inside.

Not long after Tangerine finds the unconscious body of Lemon, who he assumes is dead due to the shots in his chest, inflicted by The Prince. He gets a call from the White Death, who announces that he's going to kill everyone on the train to which a depressed Tangerine expressses indifference. He searches the train for the alleged killer and runs into Prince, who attempts to convince him that Ladybug killed Lemon. Tangerine sees through her deception due to finding train stickers that Lemon stuck on her. Before Tangerine can shoot the Prince, Ladybug enters and the Prince pretends that she is an innocent girl that Tangerine is attacking, and Ladybug fights Tangerine to defend her. In their fight, Tangerine accidentally shoots himself in the throat and bleeds to death on the floor. His corpse likely remained in the wagons and was presumably damaged when the bullet train gets wrecked at the end.

Trivia

Unintentionally, Aaron-Taylor Johnson's performance as Tangerine was decisive in his casting as Kraven the Hunter in his upcoming eponymous film, as the Sony Pictures executives quickly cast him in that role due to being "blown away" by early Bullet Train footage of him as Tangerine.

Aaron-Taylor Johnson was cast as Tangerine due to David Leitch's desire to work with him. Leitch had previously offered Johnson a role in Deadpool 2, but he declined the unknown role.

The fruit truck Lemon uses towards the end of the film to run over the Prince is one filled of tangerines. This was evidently done as a reference to Tangerine, symbolizing that even from beyond the grave, he still assisted his brother in carrying out a pivotal assassination.

Tangerine's actor: Aaron Taylor Johnson had starred in the Monsterverse along with Lemon's actor: Brian Tyree Henry.

Too much anime on your blog, you’re definitely a pedophile.

Haha like always every accusation from you guys is a confession.

You guys should get this guy under control before throwing around the word "pedophile" okay?

[hansoape]

warhammer dudes will treat the female characters in the nastiest way. Degrade Celestine's and Yvraine's characters to nothing but waifu bait. Talk about what they'd like to do to sororitas with consent optional. Gleefully describe what a daemonculaba is and act like its so cool and edgy. But the minute female fans and queers start to talk about finding a male character attractive NAW that's where they draw the line. How dare we find Titus handsome. Filthy perverts degenerates all of us. Its apparently too much for them and they get really, really mad about it. Stay pissy you gross ass weirdos, your hypocrisy stinks through the walls

[queerfortress2]

Hello!

May I request any number of mercs you’d like to write for helping a S/O who is getting burnt out from work/school/general busy life stuff?

I’m having the worst burnout right now and it stinks :/

If I had any preference…any of these: Medic, Engie, Scout, Spy

You can write for one, you can write for all of them, whatever you would like to do.

I’m a woman and use she/her but you can make this gender neutral so non-female folks can also enjoy, whichever you’d like!

Hope you’re well, and thank you <3

an engie request finally you don’t understand — mod engie

GN!READER X MEDIC + ENGINEER + SCOUT + SPY (SEPARATE)

MEDIC

my brother in christ he is ALSO working. 2fort’s best paper pusher right there.

if you see work pile up he wouldn’t be opposed to helping you if you ignore is own work piling up. he doesn’t mind it really, as much as he says he doesn’t get burnt out he absolutely does and completely understands.

also taking you out of a work environment !! separate yourself from work for a little while, it’ll make you feel a lot better. he would take you somewhere nice if he wasn’t banned for 99% of public spaces, but does his best with what he has. you can walk around town together or he’ll invite you to his private quarters for you to relax with him and his Unusual Amount of Doves.

he’s also huge he’s practically a living weighted blanket. he isn’t exactly one to lay down and cuddle for hours but he can give you physical comfort before he finds himself distracted by something else in the room. you WILL have to listen to his crazy side rants if you spend time with him.

over all i think he’s more work oriented, so i think he’s more focused on “getting it all done” than “girl fuck your work we’ll go out on the town”

ENGINEER

paper pusher number two

he saw it happening before you did and probably dragged you out of the workshop before it got too serious. in the most non-creepy way possible he finds himself observing you frequently when you work together (or just in the same area) and will run checks on you frequently. need water? don’t worry about it, got a mini fridge right there for you— hey would you be a darling and pass the beer over too? thanks.

hospitality is his deal, even if you’re dating he finds himself treating you like a guest. you get the top priority. ignore his constant working and hypocrisy and he’s like a mini nurse.

also also probably does the work for you while he distracts you with something else. he doesn’t mean to be untruthful but.. while you nap he might’ve finished up a bit of your work and just told you that you did it but you were so tired you didn’t remember. HE JUST WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU

celebration too! he can actually go places, he takes you to a nice little diner and has dinner with you. he’s wearing his stupid little plaid shirt and jeans to dress nice and is TOTALLY playing but off like he’s the prettiest boy at the party. (he is) he even does the slick back hair motion on his hardhat (or very bald head). i want his dead /pos.

SCOUT

brother doesn’t know what he’s doing. he is one of the WORST at trying to help you get work done. he honestly just tells you to forget about it and you both just leave to go run about the base for a bit. a good jog never hurt anyone, i guess. (pauling is drowning in work)

he’s irresponsible so don’t trust him to help you either, he’ll forget about it and get distracted with something else entirely. but it’s the thought that counts! he’s also illiterate so that’s probably a problem with homework or just filing pages…

he also doesn’t take no for an answer, if you shove him off he’s just gonna keep pestering you, or if you’re small enough? just GRAB YOU. you’re leaving that desk whether you like it or NOT. you’re gonna go— as the kids say— “touch grass.” it’s gonna happen.

on the bright side, you’re never bored, he’s extremely entertaining. even if it gives you guys weird looks out in public, at least you aren’t frowning! you’re just having a good time.

if anything you’re going to get a good break, but when you get back that work is still going to be there, that’s a guarantee.

[just-antithings]

"Um you didn't say anything about Neil Gaiman! Checkmate proshitters!"

Almost every proshipper I know has mentioned Neil Gaiman and how awful he is.

Meanwhile I've seen barely any antis talk about Kyle Carrozza and whenever someone does bring him and his hypocrisy up, antis are quick to jump in with "This isn't about shipping! He's not an anti! The disabled woman who's reputation he ruined over cartoon porn deserved it!"

Maybe clean up your own shit before telling us that ours stinks, hm?

Part 1 - Eren is an office worker

I've been working in the "office" for some time now, and I really wanted to think about what kind of employees these AOT guys would be. So far, only Eren. I will be very glad if someone likes it.

Eren is an employee who recently came to work, but has already had a fight with every department and employee. He does not adhere to the dress code; he is most often seen in black jeans and a plain T-shirt or hoodie. Less often, he wears a black shirt. No one ever knows what he's eating, because there's never a food container with his name on it in the shared fridge. However, he will always be happy to purchase products for his department somewhere else. More often, he communicates respectfully with colleagues, but sometimes… It can be very easy to inflame the anger and stubbornness of a young employee.

By the way, this stubbornness will encourage him to work overtime. If the task for a project turns out to be too difficult or bulky for a typical workday, he often stays up late, ordering energy drinks and snacks for himself. You are the only person in the office who got a job later than him, so he will be supportive and offer all possible support. Of course, he won't be able to protect you from the wrath of his superiors, but he'll be happy to invite you for coffee and openly discuss what he thinks is unfair treatment of you. He will also often invite you for a walk during your lunch break to criticize the decisions of colleagues. Members of the older generation often complain about his smoking habit, but unlike them, he never stays in the smoking room to gossip, and surprisingly, he doesn't smell like tobacco.

"I'm not conflicted, I'm just right. Often."

"If I hadn't said anything, we'd still be doing this shit the old—fashioned way."

"These deadlines are just a joke, right? Good… Where's my big coffee mug?" ties her hair into a bundle

"No, I'm not leaving until I'm done. It's obvious, isn't it?"

Eren can be annoying sometimes, but he commands respect. He doesn't fit into the system, but at the same time he proudly carries his "I" through all the office wars. To be honest, he's the only one who treats you with great understanding. With him, no project deadlines are scary.

"If they bother you, tell them it's my fault. I'm used to it, and looking at their displeased faces is my hobby"

"Why are you so sad? Come on, let's buy you a croissant"

One day you were sitting in a meeting room after another meeting with your superiors and customers — another failed deadline, although it wasn't your fault. The door opens abruptly without knocking — Eren is on the threshold, with two cups of coffee in his hands.

"Well, sufferer?", he puts a cappuccino cup in front of you with smiling foam emojis. "I heard you being torn apart. What the fuck…"

You can't help but grin: he's the only one who calls a spade a spade.

"You could have helped me", you grumble, but he just waves it off.

"So that what? You know they're idiots. I'd rather teach you how to keep your nerve cells in this job."

And here you are sitting on the fire escape (Eren hates the smoking room during lunch when employees from other departments gather there. He says, "It really stinks there now, but it's the smell of hypocrisy!"):

"Rule number 1. Listen to the boss, nodding, and then do it your own way. They value the result, not the process." "Rule number 2. Ignore all these passive-aggressive chats. Just set the reaction to “👍” and score. Let's break through!"

Suddenly he stops abruptly, noticing how you're staring at his jeans with a hole in the knee.

"Yes, the dress code is for those who don't know how to work. I can do that."

You ask why he's staying here at all if everything is so bad.

"Because someone needs to be shown that the rules are just someone's fantasy", Eren shrugs, smiling contentedly. "Well…I like having someone to protect."

He doesn't look in your direction, but you understand that this is the most sincere confession he is capable of. Over time, you start to be friends, Eren turned out to be a reliable person. Despite all his "tricks," his attitude to work is admirable. Once again, you've been sitting in the office late — not because the deadline is on, but because the boss scolded you for some nonsense in the morning, and now you're just staring at the monitor, pretending to be working. Suddenly, there is a light knock on the table from behind— it's Eren. He puts a plastic cup with an iced latte and your favorite mint syrup in front of you (it's adorable that he remembers, even though you only said it once) and a sandwich.

"Eat it! You look like the only thing you've eaten today is the boss's screams."

You can't help but grin. He's right.

"Thanks… But you're not just here at a late hour, are you? Is your project dragging on again?"

"Well, first of all, yes. The customer made a bunch of edits again. Secondly…" He plopped down on the chair next to you and took a flash drive out of his pocket. "I have something here."

You're getting nervous.

"What is it?"

"The presentation that our "beloved" boss has to watch tomorrow. I'm done with it…I'm not going to tell you, it's better to open it and see for yourself."

You open the file and almost choke on your coffee. On the third slide, instead of dry graphs, there is a meme with a sleeping cat and the inscription: "It's urgent! We must pretend that we are all working!"

"You… Are you serious?!"

"What about it? He's not reading anyway, he's just pretending. Let him have fun. It would not be superfluous for this harmful person to smile a couple of times."

You laugh, but then you realize:

"But if he finds out it's you?"

"Oh, he'll know it's me right away. But you know what the best part is?", Eren grins. "He can't fire me. Because I'm the only one who understands their newfangled security system."

You shake your head, but there's a slight elation inside you.

"You're not normal."

"Thank you", he takes a sip of his energy drink. "By the way, if hell starts tomorrow, just say you didn't know anything."

The next day, of course, the boss exploded with anger. But, as Eren predicted, it didn't go beyond the screams. And in the evening, he reappears at your table with coffee and a satisfied smile:

"Do you want to go to the cinema? I guarantee you popcorn and a good mood.", he put his hand on the arm of your chair.

A sincere smile appears on your face. Of course, you will agree, because it is impossible to refuse Eren.

[thatneoncrisis]

sorry for even bringing it up but did you see the writer saying that the decision for vi (and powder)'s parents to be killed by enforcers was so vi and caitlyn had "even more hurdles" to being together so it was spicier..?

oh sweet i wrote shit and tumblr refreshed and deleated it all awesome just what i wanted

anyway. shorter version. i dont care! its a story. these are dollies made to manipulate (neutral) the audience and the characters emotions. violet and powders parents were born with DEAD stamped onto their foreheads. theyre deaths are kind of (well supposed to be anyway) the initial and most powerful piece of why they both hate enforcers and piltovers. pretty easy A to B i dont really mind it existing to make violets relationship WITH AN ENFORCER more tumultuous

i dont know there is so much "death by a thousand paper cuts" shit happening that makes me resent those two. i dont really care that its a romance between two cops (at least gamewise the show cant make up its mind about violets ideological opposition to them) but im not gonna act like im not salty about more fucking queer women in a show being cops regardless of the Why. i get it game lore booo your pussy stinks ect.

i think if i had to put it succinctly its like. the events that happen that affect interpersonal relationships are disproportionate to how they respond to them. when i watch violet shes not really having meaningful internal battles about the system shes trapped in and how now the relationship shes in grants her a momentary reprieve from it at the cost of her city and peoples wellbeing.

i cant take her anger seriously outside of short bursts of brooding bc it is always put aside for her to do something for someone else. she hates enforcers but not enough to refuse enlistment. she hates what jinx has become but not enough to stop chasing her. she bates piltover but not enough to not use their war machines. and all of these read less like character building and more "the show needs her to do this right now". her hypocrisy and need for things never to change ever (i think the shows emphasis on her wanting her sister back in the form of powder exclusively for most of its run says way more about her than it does jinx. dude she was like seven she was never coming back the same) feel like they Should have been her driving force, her core, but read as accidental in the moment its so strange.

[queenvhagar]

Found your blog and i have to rantt. How do you deal with tb targies? They are insufferable to the core and bath in deluluship hypocrisy all day every day but the worst thing is they are VERY stupid. You could smell a targie mile away by their stinking stupidity and being in the majority they have ruined fandom and canon like their idol ryan condom. It is vexing as hell.

LMAO this gave me a good laugh so thanks 😂

Welcome to the blog!

The majority of the fandom is just so disconnected from the actual story itself and reliant on symbols of Hollywood white feminism that they can turn into memes and reaction images to share on socials with each other. For the most part that is the extent of their understanding of and engagement with the show. Never mind the logic of the decades long and several books deep preexisting world in which the story takes place, coherent and thematically resonant storytelling, and development of three dimensional characters with realistic motivations.

The overly active TB stans in the fandom honestly thrive on the surface level symbols the show presents. Girlboss with a dragon (even adding scenes that never existed or are stolen from other characters even if it doesn't make sense)? Slay. Girlboss makes out with another girl (even though there's zero build up and it's never mentioned again therefore having no narrative impact)? Slay and amazing storytelling obviously. Two royal women in secret love with each other (despite it being so pathetically one-sided and it quite literally breaking the story and gutting one of the involved characters)? Malewife bows and simps before girlboss (even though he's her decades older uncle who groomed her from childhood and repeatedly abuses her)? Jealous ex is a loser misogynist incel (even though it's clearly the case that he was wronged by a single woman and he dislikes her because of this, and he clearly is actively devoted to the woman he is sworn to protect)? Black dragonrider exists onscreen (but no development or storyline whatsoever and the actual Black character with a dragon and a compelling story is cut)? MAJOR SLAY as long as they can get the surface level read and not have to think too deeply about the story. Bonus if they can make the memes and posts on their phone while watching the show in the background! All good shows should let you be able to be on your phone at the same time and still tell a story doncha know 🤪

How do I deal with the BS? Well first of all I'm not on TB majority apps like Facebook and Twitter anymore. As for on Tumblr, this is my general approach: try me with nonsensical arguments and takes on my posts and you will get corrected. Continue to make noise and try to contest basic facts and you're gonna be blocked. Rude asks are immediately blocked with pleasure. I avoid annoying tags related to TB stans and properly tag my own posts to keep them away.

A side note because I feel like I see this a lot is that TBs seem to assume people who support TGs are somehow all conservative and sexist and condoning of violence against women because we support the Green cause. The weird conflagration of liking fictional characters equalling wholeheartedly endorsing such actions in the real world and in our personal lives aside... it's like they think queer leftists can't support TG for some reason. It's wild. And so extremely weird because truly the Green story is a story of what happens when societal systems of power create problems for people who have less of it and what people will do to survive. Like what's not there to resonate with? Of course I'm going to sympathize with the struggle of a woman and her kids in a sensitive and precarious societal position as they band together to survive (especially when the other side is made up of the most privileged people in society flaunting their wealth and power over others because they can). As much as the show wants to say it, Viserys and Rhaenyra are not the ultimate victims of the story nor are they blameless for the way it plays out.

Anyway basically I know that I know this universe and story and that many people being loud on TB simply do not. Just like almost everyone involved in HOTD's production (not you Rhys Ifans shhh) (and probably some other actors like Bethany Antonia, who has said she has begged Ryan Condal not to change her story in the past). And of course GRRM has confirmed this as well on his blog, in detail. Production willfully misinterprets and picks apart the story, thinks they know more than the author himself about how the story should be told, and refuses to listen to his input.

I wouldn't even say GRRM is Team Green. He just knows his story and how the point is that choosing sides was the problem, which is antithetical to what HOTD has done with the material, missing entirely its themes and destroying the story's logic, consistency, and characters in the process.

As for me, the only reason I'm so strongly Team Green is in reaction to the show and the incoherent stans it created. They are so wrong on almost every level and I cannot be on their side about any of it. Team Green it is then 😂

Well, long post again, but thanks for the ask! Best of luck out there 🫡

[chaifootsteps]

who would you recommend for the best helluva reviewers?

I'd pick Diregentlemen for the best by a mile since they talk about the show from a holistic construction perspective and went way out of their way to be as good faith as possible (none of which was appreciated by Viv, who vague posted about them then later admitted not actually watching their critiques)

second I'd go with Arteice for the joyous way she'll rip Stolas a new one

third maybe Hezu and I think it was forced positivity who made the first "Stolas is a hypocrite" compilation before they were fashionable (the "you make it all about sex" bit in Full Moon, which was before everyone else did it for apology tour because the stink of the hypocrisy got too loud to ignore)

Arteice is my favorite. She doesn't try to to do the forced positivity thing or throw the show bones it hasn't earned, but also doesn't come across as too mean either. Naturally, the fandom's treated her horrendously and with some fairly open racism.

[angelsdean]

wait what did jared and jensen say at dencon 2021? i wasn’t on tumblr then and even now i can’t always keep up with everything 🫠

There was a Destiel question which i believe was directed at JUST Jensen abt how meaningful the confession was to the fan and seeing that representation. I forget the specifics of the actual question, but then Jared just started responding before Jensen could say anything. And it was just pure word vomiting abt how spn was abt more than sexuality and I believe he compared Cas saying i love you to Jared telling his children he loves them ??? and you could tell the whole time Jensen was like. going into a panic of "oh shit i need to stop this man from speaking" like you could literally see it on his face. And then Jensen finally got to cut in and he was stumbling over his words and saying how cas's love for dean went BEYOND the romantic (which imo encompasses the romantic AND MORE) and saying that since Cas is a cosmic being his love basically isn't confined by what humans can comprehend and can't be easily defined in human terms, that it "superseded" human concepts of sexual and romantic love (which again to me reads at it is even MORE than just those things).

And then some fans took this to mean that he was trying to "ungay" it or minimize Cas's love for Dean by saying it's cosmic and beyond human comprehension. Like to me what he was saying is that Cas's love is SO great that there just aren't words in human language to properly define that love!!! Yet somehow because it came after Jared's word vomit, Jensen's response got lumped in with that.

Also Jensen used the term "open to interpretation" during that response when he's framing what HIS interpretation is, and this fandom honestly has a horrible knee-jerk reaction to that phrase and automatically thinks it's negative or invalidating when literally it's a GOOD THING for media to be open to interpretation. As someone who literally got their degree in literature one of the first things you learn is that....all media is open to interpretation. And it just comes down to how well you can argue / support your interpretation with canon. And the thing about media being open to interpretation is....it means YOUR interpretation is valid too. Jensen saying this was not him saying "Castiel's for dean love is debatable" it was more "Castiel's love can mean whatever you want it to." That absolutely validates destiel. And it's a very positive statement imo, especially followed by him saying he thinks Cas's love supersedes all known language we have to describe love. Like hello???

Also the sheer hypocrisy of people acting like this was a "hashtag offensive destiel invalidating moment" to say this when I cannot count the amount of times I've seen fellow destiel shippers describe Cas's love for Dean and vice versa as akin to WORSHIP and describe their profound bond and their cosmic narrative defying love as this great powerful force. Of course that kind of love is going to go beyond human language!!! That's so fucking romantic wtf. And the fact that he said all this in front of a predominantly JayTwo / w*ncest audience ??? HUGE. And I'll always be a little salty abt people throwing Jensen under the bus after that con and making a whole big stink about his response. EYE think it was fine, given the circumstances. Great, even. Which is unfortch an unpop opinion in some destiel circles lol.

Anyways this got so long but here's a link to a gifset of his response. I can't find Jared's word vom bc i think we all just chose to delete it from our minds lol.

[bridgeybrainrot]

PSA: ficlet collections and drabbles written as multiple chapters and varying topics, such as The Honeymakers Challenge happening for Polinators, do not require a tag for every trope, concept, ship, character or theme. They are part of a larger story. Or maybe not! They could be completely independent! And tagging the main fic with something that is mentioned offhandedly is disingenuous (unless it's something that requires a trigger warning, of course). And you end up with a wall of tags without knowing where that specific tag belongs. Particularly when the chapter itself is clearly tagged, which yes, they aren't real tags in that you can't filter them, but you CAN just hit that good 'old back button and go about your day instead of ripping the author a new one unnecessarily, calling in reinforcements to go off and then disparaging them and anyone who supported them in a public forum like your shit don't stink.

The hypocrisy in this fandom is...well, not surprising, actually. But disappointing for sure. My daughter is 8000% more mature than any of these grown ass adults.

[sunbleanchedcassie]

this “daughters of cain” having imaginary beef with Gracie is probably the most ridiculous and dumb thing EVER. is like y’all weren’t even here when Hayden HERSELF said she actually liked the cover of American Teenager and she thought Gracie was cute. Honestly i’m just tired of y’all acting like it was a bad cover. ITS A COVER NOT A FUCKING IMITATION. And now you’re coming at her because she said she’d like to collab with her????? In which world would anyone not wanna collab with an artist they love/admire like? honestly y’all’s hypocrisy is starting to stink. you like talking about swifties and shit but look at yourselves, my god. it’s like y’all forget that Hayden it’s an actual person who takes her own decisions. if she wants to collab then she will and y’all would probably love it so shut up, i swear you’re not as cool as you think you are. personally i think it’d be interesting to see how their styles could mix and i do actually think Gracie would kill it in her low register “whispery voice” in a God’s Country/Inbred EP vibe type of beat. but seriously, stop trying to hold on to a secret that isn’t yours to keep, MY GAWD. enjoy the music, stop beefing no one’s paying you for it.

[dangerliesbeforeyou]

rewatched last night of the proms today mainly because of that gifset of brian lol and i do honestly think it's one of the most interesting in9 from a political standpoint and it's not rly surprising to me that it's one of the most divisive... (also probs because it's a very british(tm) episode so i think perhaps some stuff doesn't translate as well internationally???)

coming off the back of brexit and just how much it divided families (hell, it divided MY family for yrs when my mum told us she voted to leave...) & i think it was a stroke of genius to make it set in the west country because, chagrin as i am to admit it, it really fucking stinks of conservatism around here smhsmh (except bristol lol... bristol is practical a lefty paradise in comparison to the rest of the sw pfft... i digress tho...)

it's interesting to me that yusuf is purely symbolic, not really a character so much as a plot device, and that's kinda the point right? the way that the different sides of the political spectrum talk about immigrants isn't in terms of them being actual people... people(politicians) talk about them as numbers on boats, as low paid workers, as 'strangers'...

i think it also plays into sexualisation and dehumanisation of non-white people, even penny (who is arguably the only person who treats him like a person, especially at the end) violates him and lies to protect her own skin...

and brian... oh brian... suchhh a fascinating character! his liberal minded hypocrisy, his anger and repression, his fear, his defeatism at the end... (also smth i never noticed before was where he pushes penny when he's drunk... the first hints of violence in him that explodes when he lands the final blow on yusuf)

& as much as oliver being on his phone did feel very 'kids these days always on they mobile telephones watching they ticked tocks', i think it perhaps was playing with the idea that a lot of young people feel disenfranchised by the political system, feeling like whatever they do never makes a difference...

there's also a part that i really liked when dawn is looking around at all the chintzy decor and family photographs with pride, music swelling... the peak of this lower middle class family's mundane achievements lol... this + the later moment when she yells at brian that she doesn't care about the dna results since she's adamant that knows she's english, that she belongs there...

idkkk my brain isn't working rn but i rly think there's a lot of interesting (sorry i've said interesting so much it's the only adjective i have in me at the mo soz lol) stuff going on here and i think perhaps a portion of the regular in9 viewership maybe just... didn't get it for whatever reason lol!?!?

“Chihiro? I-I know you’re smart enough to know this already, but…you’ve been shutting yourself in your room more and more these days. That can cause a lot of problems physically and mentally. As your friend and nurse, I can’t help but be concerned…”

There was some concern of hypocrisy there. Mikan was fatter than him, about as gassy, and only marginally more tidy. But along with being shut in more, the programmer was acting strangely. Moaning and indulging, turning into a hog, and some even claimed he was trying to huff his own ass…

How someone of Chihiro's size would be able to bend and huff there is anyone's guess, perhaps they misheard. But everything else was quite on the money... incredibly fat, incredibly odorous... seemingly delighted and aroused by it all. When Mikan came to check up on the wide, wobbling lad he had passed out after cumming onto the underside of his gut, a sweaty sock in his hand that he was huffing. He groaned and rubbed the sleep from his eyes with his hammy hands and murmured something, before his heavy footfalls came to the door.

The door creaked open, and Mikan was hit with a wave of humidity and stink... oh such a pungent stench of Chihiro's fat and the smell of his 'pleasure'. His eyes blinked a little confused as his gut let out a low rumble. "Mmmm... M-Mikan...? Nngh... what time is it... Is something wrong?"

Who do you find more attractive? Michi or Ursa? Have you ever cheated on Ursa while you were still married to her? I know Ursa probably cheated on you emotionally!

I was raised to be a perfect prince and never go against the honor of the royal family, so no, I never broke the honor of my marriage or pursued any woman other than my lawful wife. I wish I could say the same about said wife, who has lost all decorum and doesn't hesitate to rub her affair with the stinking peasant in society's face, even though we are still married. And we will remain married. Forever, as our marriage vows demand. Zuko may have legalized divorce to get revenge on me, but that will never happen. Ikea the Stinking Peasant is going to have to come and kill me if he wants to be rid of me. If he has finally found a sword that isn't made of wood.

You see, I deeply detest hypocrisy. When I was young, I had to endure Iroh chasing after all the maids even though he was fully aware it wasn't honorable. I'm not like Iroh. A maid's job is to clean up (and occasionally dodge Azula's fireballs), not waste time on amorous dalliances. A Fire Nation prince should be focused solely on winning the war.

However, you mentioned Michi. My destiny was always to marry Ursa, but in another world, things might have been different. I was truly tempted to court her in my youth; no one can deny that she would have made a perfect wife.

And yes, she always had that same unusual, sharp beauty. Her daughter bears a striking resemblance to her. Zuko must be completely out of his mind (more than I suspected) to allow Michi's daughter to leave him.
