#there is a parallel every episode

[fandom-hoarder]

Every time I start to think the domestication level of s11 in my head is simply my fandom brainrot, I rewatch it and I'm like, "Omg, I've actually downplayed it."

like mother, like son, but less wholesome this time?

The problem with a lot of traffic life interpretations in my opinion is they don't understand character foils or don't employ them in their writing. Grian-Martyn and Scar-Ren are genuinely pretty good character foils for a series that is not really scripted or planned out like a book is. I could go on and on about how they parallel each other and the similarities between them. Even the smaller details between the four usually match up

leaving the rant in the tags so I don't have a huge block of text again ueueue

lolita, my love || interview with the vampire 02x07 "i could not prevent it"

bonus:

[gojuo]

jaehaerys and jaehaera being forced onto helaena and aegon as they're both arranged into the marriage, as they're both child bride and child groom and teen parents. the mutual love they hold for their twins being what brings them closer to each other and what makes them find common ground for the first time, their relationship finally blossoming into something other than awkward resentment. years down the line, helaena tells aegon that since jaehaerys and jaehaera weren't their choice, but children out of duty, she wants their next child to be their choice, a child out of love.

imagine how poignant such a scene would be for helaena when she eventually chooses maelor to die during blood and cheese.

god. the parallels between 1x06 and 2x06.. the sheer difference with Izzy’s character arc……. We went from izzy being the only person not dressing up and having fun and participating in a good time to literally being the person leading the party by singing openly in drag makeup and kissing hands and winning applause and being a part of the crew ohhhh my godddd I’m so fucking proud of him 😭 I love him so muchhhhh

weird storytime and an abed analysis (abednalysis ?)

in s1e17, physical education, abed says that he didnt mind changing for other people because hes comfortable with who he is . a season later, in s2e19, critical film studies, he says instead that he doesnt like change . and now i realize what he really meant when he said that he didnt mind changing .

when i was younger, around 11-12, i would pretend to be other people online . more than five different separate identities in one discord server . because i wanted people to like me more . i made these alt accounts and assigned each one a personality, a different typing style, a reason for joining, a region, and a timezone . and for the most part, they were people who were nicer and just generally likeable . because im not someone who is any of those things . i am not a nice person . i dont even think im a good person . and god i am not likeable . at all .

so i played these characters . most of them only being active for short periods . i would have full back and forth conversations with these alt accounts to sell it . i had these weird insane elaborate plans . a 16 year old former drug user, lives in manitoba, somewhat parental . 13, california, liked minecraft and drawing -- completely different artstyle (and different software) too . etc .

i would let these accounts bake (make them and then not use them) so that it didnt seem suspicious with a brand new account joining the server . then i would spend a week making the account and forming a character to go with it, sometimes asking people to help me out . it was so fucking crazy . i was insane . might still be .

…yeah i probably still am .

i was such a better person on those different accounts . because i didnt know how to change on the inside, i just started over and over again . different account, new me . like i was experimenting with who i really wanted to be like . formulating the perfect person to act like when i finally decided that i wanted to become a better person .

i gave up eventually obviously . im not a tween anymore . i was a really weird tween . obviously . but i think about it a lot .

honestly i only went back to being myself because it was comfortable . i felt better being a fucking douche . and i still am a douche . im not a good person . i dont think ill ever be a "good person" . what the hell is a good person, anyways . all i know is that im fine with myself like this . even as much as i not-so-secretly hate myself, and deny it out of fear of seeming like an "edgy attention seeking loser" .

its not that abed doesnt mind change, he just doesnt mind changing the persona . he doesnt mind changing the person showing on the outside . a separate identity . but ultimately, he wouldnt ever fundamentally change as a person . because hes fine with who he is, even if other people might not like him for that . and i want to be like him . i want to be someone who is fine with who they are, even if that someone is a socially inept ass who learned tenth grade math at age ten but cant figure out when their own face is making a smile or not .
