#they both hate admitting it at first

bc yeah. when naruto says "friendship is EVERYTHING" it's not a sparkly protagonist who hasn't seen the world yet. it's a deeply hurt, orphaned, 12 year old kid in an obnoxious orange jumpsuit who doesnt even know how much hes hurting, yelling at you angrily struggling to hold back his tears bc friendship and caring was the only thing that kept him from going into the dark

total drama moment (4/8)

[birdricks]

honestly beth and jerry have maybe my second favourite relationship in the entire show just for how interesting and tragic it is. like its brushed aside a lot in favour of other stuff but they were really both just kids... and the saddest part about them is that they maybe do love each other but its always in some way artificial

CAN I JUST TALK ABOUT HOW BAD I WANTED LMM TO LEGITIMIZE LAMS but i kept being let down over and over again like ughhhh. first he gives the Angelica relationship a whole song and subplot and yes it was great, the whole musical's a lyrical, compositional, choreographed masterpiece BUT WE AREN'T HERE TO DISCUSS THAT. we are here to talk about how his source material was biased because Chernow gave breath to the Angelica thing, as improbable as it was (especially compared to the probability of the Laurens/Hamilton relationship? homophobia.) but then picture it, I'm a young, naïve teenager, I'm very fixated on lams and history, I loved the Hamilton musical, was a Hamilton teen and that part of me is irreparably burned into my brain. then LMM drops this sneaky little tidbit like the beacon of wisdom his fans see him as bc he wrote a historical self-insert fanfic for broadway, he says the Laurens/Hamilton relationship was real. great! but he didn't actually put it in the musical and that disappointed me. And damn, okay, he had a few lines here and there in the off-broadway version that were cut but maybe that wasn't his fault or maybe he planned on fleshing it out more and had to cut it down to make it more palatable for the people sponsoring his ride to broadway, a pathetic excuse but it could make sense. For all that, I could have forgiven, forgotten, etc etc... but I will NEVER forget naïvely believing during the year the Hamildrops were released that we'd finally get a Laurens/Hamilton song. In April it didn't happen, I thought okay, maybe pride month. Didn't happen in pride month. Didn't even happen in September or October, or as a last-minute gay reveal in December. It just didn't happen at all. We even got some covers of songs that already existed without notable variations on the lyrics and it's like... bro couldn't have done the bare minimum and had a Laurens cover of Satisfied? That's the moment I was let down for real. I had truly BELIEVED that because he said himself that the Laurens/Hamilton relationship was real, he'd actually follow through on something that could be digested by the fans more than a forgotten tweet. but damn it hurt. absolutely no queer representation in a musical about Alexander Hamilton. bro. to play devil's advocate, there is no way to "prove" hamilton wasn't straight (eye-roll) but it's not like Hamilton: An American Musical is historically accurate in the least. It's embellished, fun, glamorous. It paints people in their best (unless you're charles lee lol) considering it's about a bunch of people who definitely were not kickass abolitionist BIPOC, but because LMM found it important to represent America today, he made the cast very inclusive to cultures and ethnicities of those these historical figures oppressed. so why can't he fictionalize the story a bit more? it's not even FICTION BRO it's literally more provable (and less problematic and more interesting) than the Angelica/Hamilton affair so WHYYYY. all i mean to say is, i was very let down and i can't appreciate the musical or LMM the same as I did when i was younger because now it gives me the straight-man ick. the "yeah they were gay!" for ++ points with the lgbtq+ fans but a severe lack of action. i hate that shit. real allies would say "fuck your homophobia, i'm publishing my art as it is even if i face backlash and censorship," because that's how shit gets done. it really really let me down, that's all, good night.

[fappellmoan]

ok im a really chill and normal person and i get over things and am well adjusted but take a walk with me here. just give me my time to complain when im not in the absolute fucking trenches. and yes i believe i suffered more than those in trench warfare. it was literally a lesbian situationship with a bistraight girl come on. just. magenta choppy shag with the roots coming in. camo cargo pants black t shirt with red lettering and striped long sleeve (sign someone likes music. confirmed). lip ring big black stud earrings and nails. red docs. i think lesbians should be allowed to kill one dyke baiter in their lifetime idc

[sapphicdessi]

Are the bisexual women in that video calling gay/lesbian people queer?

i'm more concerned they're saying "bi lesbians" are real and telling every lesbian who says to stop that "sexuality is fluid" and that lesbians can like men. they have larped and support larpers. acting like lesbian is someone who hates men but is attracted to them is fucking absurd. shit take after another. it's basically a homophobic lesbian shit talking sesh where they speak over an for lesbians and act like incels too

im so mad at people who think time travel will ever exist. thats not how physics works buddy I would know (im 13 and have never studied physics in my life, however, due to an intense ego, I believe that everything my brain tells me is true because it sounds true) you are not larger than the universe you cant just grab fucking time like that and fuck with it. how would you even calculate where to go? the universe isn’t sentient or a thing it doesn’t register your HUMAN MORTAL concepts of time. you cant just tell your machine to go to 2009[1] and it’ll understand what the fuck youre talking about . shut the fuck up. listen I have childish dreams and ambitions too but you know what im NOT. an OPTIMIST. you are NOT time traveling. these are also the same reasons for visual snow and why teleportation isnt possible as well.

in 2009 stephen hawking (rip king i miss you I dont care about epsteins island you will always be in my heart) made a party for time travellers, after the party ended he released the invites . nobody showed up of course. or DID THEY? maybe they showed up but told Stephen hawking not to tell anyone they did because that could fuck up the timeline? No they didn’t. time travel isnt real. go fuck yourself hawking. love you though!

watched uhh dorothy returns ro wizard of oz (2013) and i'd give it a 6.5/10 in general but entertainment wise i'd give it an 8.5 (tbf i was watching it with my brother idk how i'd rate it if i was alone) theres a part where they need a boat and dorothy snaps a piece of wood off a tree who yells in pain and then every tree there starts throwing rocks and acorns at her but then it cuts to a tree hunched over and hes like "take me... take me." and i csnt properly explain why it's so unbelievably funny. the line delivery makes him sound so accepting like he's really willing to die to help dorothy get a boat and i can't stop thinking about it

My mom and I are almost done rewatching BCS and immediately after watching point and shoot my mom was just like "...it's just not the same without Nacho or Lalo😢 let's just skip the rest except for the final episode...I miss the episode where Nacho jumped onto a roof to get drugs. I want more episodes like that." so true queen

I once heard a guest on a podcast bitching about how she was actually recording from back home on the east coast, and couldn't get any authentic Chinese food. And then the example she used was that all of the crab rangoons had cream cheese! And I screamed into my empty living room, "BESTIE:

1) Crab rangoons are a wholly American invention!

2) Although the precise origin is disputed, there is a nonzero chance they not only aren't authentically Asian, but that they may have been invented entirely by a white guy from his tiki bar!

3) Everyone agrees that there is no such thing as an "authentic" crab rangoon that doesn't use cream cheese!"

The typically-cited origin of crab rangoons is a 1950s "Tiki Bar" restaurant owned by the guy who started Trader Vic's, specifically by Asian-American chef Joe Young. There's the possibility that the idea had been floating around earlier, but this is the version that really took off, and it included cream cheese.

(Vic Bergeron himself is sometimes cited as the originator, but most people tend to credit Young. Bergeron, however, is apparently the undisputed inventor of the Mai Tai, so I guess my mother and her tennis friends know exactly who to thank for their favorite post-match sushi accompaniment.)

I could have also screamed a bonus point four: the Chow Mein Sandwich, a hyper-regional variation of chow mein served on (well, with) a hamburger bun, created by local Chinese-American restaurant owners at the turn of the 20th century, when the south shore area of Massachusetts, particularly Fall River, was still a thriving textile production area. The regional variation of chow mein was so popular that it was probably why The Oriental Chow Mein Company--an Asian-American family-owned and-operated company founded in 1926 in Fall River--got started, producing the crispy style of chow mein noodles that are popular in the area. (They sell nationally under the name Hoo-Mee.)

When I call it hyper-regional, I mean it: i grew up in the metrowest/central Massachusetts area--a whole maybe hour, hour-and-a-half drive from Fall River?--and I never heard about the chow mein sandwich until I was in my 20s. I'd never even had crisy fried chow mein noodles, I didn't know that was a thing.

Anyway, if that Podcaster wanted authentic Chinese food, rather than American Chinese Food, I'd say she probably does have a better shot at finding regionally specific restaurants in LA. But if they serve crab rangoons, they're doing so to appeal to American Chinese Food enthusiasts, and if they don't use cream cheese, they're inauthentic.

what if i told you that a lot of “Americanized” versions of foods were actually the product of immigrant experiences and are not “bastardized versions”
