#truly a life changing show for me

[kipkiphoorayy]

alex hirsch truly is like. the guy ever. he created one of if not the most renowned and successful disney tva shows. he clowns on said network. he won his high school’s bird calling contest. he hates trump and is always advocating for people to vote. also prank calls republican/maga hotlines and was on the washington post for such. he voices half the cast of his own show and does a deranged mickey mouse voice he uses for like two separate shows. he owns a giant taxidermy buffalo. he and his sister were on an international improv team in high school. disney censored practically all queer themes in his show and now he has a nyt best seller (and created the website plus recent interviews ect ect) that imply there was something going on between that fuck ass triangle and ford. a straight man creating good old man yaoi. creates the craziest rabbit holes to send the fandom down probably primarily fueled by adhd and coffee. he probably has his flannel sewn to his body atp and has thousands of sticky hands on the wall in his house. i could go on but he’s just truly such a interesting guy

the music in WOT is never random. even if it's just very soft background music, it's relevant to the scene. practically every time there's music playing while egwene is onscreen during s2, the tune is egwene's theme, rearranged and reinstrumentated in dozens of different ways to match the tone of the particular scene. mat has quick little snippets of his theme tune play during various scenes of his, often mixed with the old blood theme from s1, and it finally blares out in full glory for the first time during the horn of valere scene, to parallel how mat is truly finding himself for the first time. even secondary characters like liandrin, siuan, and aviendha have their own dedicated theme tunes that play during their scenes and are never repurposed as background music in other characters' scenes. and all the themes have lyrics in the old tongue that suit the character or concept the theme is about! in conclusion, lorne balfe is truly doing the Most, and i'm so grateful he's the composer for WOT and i hope he'll return for every season the show goes for.

I love you all, my friends here, mutuals, those I interact or even just meet gazes in notifications of one another, friends of mutuals I’d like befriend- I wish I could’ve done more it truly feels too exhausting on me body and mind to actively engage with everyone and everything. I’ve been here since early teens as an outlet and to get away so while I try hard to preserve tumblr from becoming a chore, it also pains me that I’m not as close with many of you as I wish I was. It’s probably another reason I cannot make mutuals/friends with people so easily here.

I truly wish from the bottom of my heart my sincerest wishes and love but that’s the best I can do, sorry. I see so many of you active and engaging, I try but it’s hard forcing something that takes a toll on you on yourself. I love you all, truly and wish the best to come always in your lives

I'd do it all again, I guess I just feel better around you *:･ﾟ✧

ten days, five shows, one festival. twenty-four hours on an amtrak, twenty-two hours on a plane, too many hours in a line. eighteen iced lattes, a hundred thousand pieces of confetti, and two nostalgia girls <3

i was in a really dark place before clancy came out in may... now i can genuinely say that i'm so fucking grateful for everything that happened ever since

[mutopians]

grief is so wild because one minute you'll feel like you're finally coping or moving on and then the next you're crying because you suddenly remembered how things used to be and that you can never go back

idk if you still stan hsmtmts but i gotta ask this: is it just me or is ej just not a very engaging and watchable love interest? like both ejnini and portwell are excruciating watches as ships compared to rini and rina. whenever ricky told the girls he loved them i believed it. you could see it in his eyes and feel it in his words and tone of voice. when ej expressed his feelings or talks about the girls it feels like a lifeless joke. yeah like yeah ily nini :)) gina’s… so great :)))) i like her a lot :)))) i don’t believe a word he says, it feels like he’s been through this before (and he has) and he’s just gonna repeat the things he did from one girl onto the next. the calling both girls a star, word for word. the uplifting them from ricky turmoil. it’s so fake and lifeless and copycat-ish.

and like yeah rini are kinda boring, but they at least had a story, and some chemistry. rina as well obvi. what the hell did portwell have 😭 mf asked a normal bare minimum question to his hurting friend one minute and was staring at her the next yet people have the audacity and the 3 depleted brain cells to say “rina is so forced it came out of nowhere and it makes no sense 🤓” the call is coming from inside the house 😭

like he should have had just a minor love interest and had the majority of his story be about finding who he wants to be instead of wasting his time trying to uplift and inspire and chase brokehearted girls.

i will alwaysssss stan hsmtmts have no doubt !!! and i'm always happy to talk abt it :D

i have to be SOOO real with you i actually like ej as a character shjshjs (shocking i know) and while i do find portwell to be like. terrible. i like ejnini and find them to be fairly engaging !! (but that might just be bc i think they're hilarious who knows)

as for rini. hmm. i kind of do genuinely hate them lmaoooo i have actually only ever watched their love confession once and it scarred me for life i wish i was joking. i also think they have negative chemistry and while i enjoy what their relationship does for their specific character arcs (ricky's more than nini's) for what it is i find it extremely trite and boring !! conceptually it's fine and it works but i think they had a lot of trouble translating that to screen and i found it reallyyyyyyy difficult to root for them in any capacity (now that i'm thinking abt it a lot of the issues i have with rini the relationship are the same issues i have with nini the character)

i do think all the relationships had sufficient (??) build up but i definitely agree with finding portwell's lacking 😭 it kind of took a sharp turn mid s2 to being a romantic dynamic instead of a platonic one and i think that could've played out a little bit more smoothly !!!

unfortunately the most interesting parts of ej (everything outside of his love life lmaoooo) are the parts that are ignored bc ultimately he was written to be a love interest !! rip. elton john i still love you 🫶

one of these days i will find the words and motivation to write the west wing au i have always dreamed of writing for 911 and it will be my magnum opus for this fandom truly

I am constantly impressed with SpongeBob (show) for being able to make iconic lines and gags that don't feel overplayed even if they're repeated

[kneworder]

i have all these draft documents of half finished fics full of lines i love but that are so fundamentally flawed i can't figure out how to finish them and can't kill my darlings mercilessly enough to get past the roadblocks so i just reread them over and over and think damn this is kinda fire. wish it was anywhere near shareable.

The thing about Cora ripping her heart out is that, contrary to the popular opinion, to what she makes it out to be, to what Rumple eventually believes in, it wasn't about her choosing power over love.

It was about her being afraid to trust him because she's being burned too many times by men who claimed to love her only to leave her with nothing and spit in her face... and this time is even more dangerous for her because she feels that she is falling for him, too.

She's not in love with him, not yet, but she might eventually be, hence why she calls Rumple the only man she ever loved later on – because he is the only man she ever felt like she could fall in love with, if she let herself do it.

Ultimately, it all comes down to her needing to make a leap of faith. Her running away with Rumple, accepting the risks and still choosing to believe him, and his love, would be that leap of faith.

And Cora can't do it, because she's afraid of being betrayed again, and afraid of not being in control of her life again ( most part of her life has been out of her control, she can't go back, just can't ).

So she chooses to stay with Henry instead of running away with Rumple because that way she is in control, of her own fate and Henry's and her possible future children, in a way she doesn't believe she can be with Rumple, especially considering her own feelings, and so she is safe.

And she rips her heart out to avoid such dilemmas, such problems in the future because having heart is weakness, having feelings is weakness, love is weakness.

TL;DR: Cora ripping her heart out and leaving Rumple wasn't about choosing power over love, it was about her trust issues, and fear of being rejected and abandoned and having her heart broken... it was about self-preservation, protecting her heart and her life.

And she regretted that decision for a long time afterwards, possibly for the rest of her life ( but that's a meta for another post ).

I’ve never seen Odd Squad but all your posts are making me consider watching it haha

Can you gif your favourite moment from the show??

Haha I have too many favorite moments from the show! But here is one that literally goes by in two seconds:

And I hope that you check out Odd Squad! I would recommend starting with season 2. I love season 1 but I think season 2 has a stronger start (it also serves as a fresh start with new characters so you don't have to watch s1 to understand the show). If you have any questions about the show then let me know :)

Thanks for the ask!

the barn owner will be buying charlotte and i’m so happy it’s worked out so well but at the same time. i’ve never not had a horse. it’s going to take some time to figure out who i am, i think.

[best-guess]

what a well written article

[spicypussywave]

i see a stupid take on a show i had no interest in thinking about (bc others do enough of that) and now i wanna defend it and make op see how delusional they've gotten
