lesbian flag but I colour picked it from gyari n kuromu :)

#mairimashita! iruma kun #welcome to demon school iruma kun #mairuma #m!ik #kuromu #gyari #Not tagging iruma cuz it aren't about him 😔#Anyways I kept making jokes about their colours just being the lesbian flag n lmao #Almost identical to actual flag is scary omg #Maybe I cheated by using multiple covers #But in my defense the manga colours r not consistent maybe if I used the anime but gyari doesn't have an appearance yet #Even still im surprised by how close it was on the right #The left is more what I expect but I feel kuromu colour palette could be used to make the old lipstick flag #But imma be honest did not want to have that association here for reasons so...#Whatever it funny it wasn't a struggle to find the colours on kuromu side lol #Honestly u could push it n just make the lesbian flag from that old kuromu cover #The only colour that would be a issue would be orange which u would have to substitute for a yellow #Lesbian #🌸

Broke (2016): BBC Sherlock is a phenomenal piece of media and anything that seems like a flaw just hasn't been fully explored yet

Woke (2020): BBC Sherlock is an incredibly flawed series run by an egotistical writer, it never deserved the hype and is actively bad on so many fronts (especially representation)

Bespoke (2024): BBC Sherlock is flawed and bogged down by increasingly poor writing, which many fans refused to see while it was airing, leading to hugely misplaced expectations (particularly for the final series), AND it has the seeds of some compelling characterizations and portrayals, some genuinely solid performances, and touches--albeit imperfectly--on complexities that are still being discussed today (particularly as it relates to the relationship between Sherlock and John). The huge cultural impact of the show has created a massive pendulum effect in its public perception, leading to most people today remembering a caricature of the show (whether positive or negative) rather than appreciating its nuanced merits and failings...that being said Season 4 sucked

#these just sum up my personal takes at the years in question and also what i'm seeing on tumblr/other social media #bbc sherlock #sherlock holmes #and i actually have a lot more thoughts to share on this series #specifically relating to the cultural impact #there is SO much about the show that goes unappreciated in hindsight because of how public perception of it has soured #and i totally fell into this as well--i still regularly rewatch hbomberguy's video absolutely dismantling the series and he isn't wrong!!#but what i'm saying is that i think it's easy for us to look at a piece of media (especially one so massively popular) like sherlock...#with very black-and-white lenses. it wouldn't have become so popular if there wasn't something inherent in it that resonated with people #and that's being buried (and i totally forgot it) because 'sherlock is cringe and problematic. can't believe i liked that'#which again it IS full of issues and those are well-documented as they should be. future portrayals should not repeat those mistakes #BUT being able to impact so many people is a merit in itself. and that's only possible because of other genuinely good things about the show #yes the way they handled the relationship between john and sherlock was riddled with problems YES it was often queerbaiting #AND the way they portrayed that relationship had a deep effect on me. i saw a lot of myself in sherlock and the complex way he loved john #the nuanced feelings he had about john's marriage to mary. the part (in s4!) where john calls him inhuman for not feeling romantic love #there was genuine intention and care put into some parts of this show and it comes through in scenes like those. they impact people.#and because of this realization i'm going to (eventually) do a rewatch of the show. i'm much older and i want to see how i'll view it now #but i want to go into it--and i want everyone who engages with it still--to have an open mind and evaluate it for what it is #not what we expected it to be (secret episode anyone?) or what the cultural drift has turned it into (the tiktok of sherlock's mind palace)#but the messy problematic somewhat-heartfelt massively significant and ultimately meaningful piece of media it actually was #anyway that's my thoughts would love to hear y'all's perspectives #funny how after all this time making a sherlock post still feels like i'm poking a bees' nest lol please be kind!#kay can i just catch my breath for a second #kay has a party in the tags

i frequently think about how, back in the mid 2010s, swathes of chronically online motherfuckers accused a queer jewish artist of writing "nazi apologist propaganda" just cuz she made a children's cartoon about how you should be real niceys to everyone

#eliot posts #su #continuing my steven universe rewatch lol #and so much of it looks different through adult eyes #i half expected it to not live up to how much i loved it as a teen #but honestly? it still fucking rules #i don't think it's something that i as an adult would hyperfixate on and consider such a part of myself like i did as a teenager #but at the same time there are parts of it that i actually like MORE as an adult that i didn't care much about as a teen #i'm only halfway through the series so maybe my opinion will change by the end but like. yeah idk #it wasn't a perfect show and some allegories definitely got some wires crossed (as allegories often do) which muddied up some themes #and arguably clumsy representation at points #but like jesus christ it did not deserve the vitriol it got

well that sucked

#i mean there's still 3 more episodes to go but i hated like basically every plot point lol #i was expecting to get annoyed by the both sides-ism but i wasn't expecting s2 to. basically ignore the piltover/zaun ideological conflict #in favour of noxus and 13 random subplots and a bunch of characters i do not care about in the slightest #sad! oh well. all who get emotionally invested in league lore deserve the suffering of expecting league lore to be good #beepbeep.txt #arcane spoilers #in terms of the yaoi: i was expecting divorce and instead i got eldritch possession and christ imagery. which is bad.#it's not unique to their characters or the conflict between them. it just feels like they needed a reason to make them fight #and i miss the viktor that's a little deranged and physically cuts off limbs so he can replace them #and instead jayce is deranged for. ambiguous void reasons? being trapped in another dimension for decades? it's not interesting.

By implying that children are too stupid and rude to learn about the world and learn how the world works and how to interact with others, you are casting responsibility away from the people who are responsible for that child's upbringing and placing the blame on the children (who don't have the autonomy given to them to be allowed to decide what they want) who can't help what they do and do not learn, often.

If the children aren't okay, then investigate why before turning to thought-terminating clichés of, "Well, the kids are just stupid and dumb and aren't even worth the effort because they're lazy!"

#youth liberation #i was really bothered when i saw this clip where this person was saying almost verbatim that...#...'kids [these days] are too STUPID and they're teachers are scared!'...#...why is the blame placed on the kids who have no control over school curriculum and what their home life is like or if they have money...#...it's because when you place the blame on the people with no power or control you don't have the responsibility to change circumstances..#...you essentially keep the status quo while simultaneously belittling a group of vulnerable people...#...and thus you feed into the cyclical nature of the broken education system #the kids these days AREN'T okay but it ISN'T THEIR FAULT...#...it's the fault of late-stage capitalism and poorly-funded education and a world that wasn't even built with them in mind...#...they had NO PART in the creation of the world which is hostile to their entire existence #don't mind the incorrect usage of their in the second tag i was so focused on how pissed i was #also remember how a good chunk of these kids lived through *checks notes* the fucking PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN #which was a clown show in terms of supporting kids and their parent/s #some places handled lockdown in the US better than others but holy fuck in my area at least it was a nightmare #what do you expect from parents who are now working full-time and teaching part/full-time and parenting full-time?#what support exactly are you expecting they recieved? because you'll likely find they got either a little or NONE #hilarious that i used the wrong their in a post subtweeting about education LOL #look i was focused on how PISSED i was lol cut me some slack here

"growing up is hearing impassioned completely wrong lectures about history you personally remember really well" but it's specifically the puriteens (+nominal adults they've become) saying the friendly homoeroticism of aughties shows was always intended and received maliciously. bullSHIT we called it HoYay and thought it was awesome

#shitposting but this is why even early seasons!spn wasn't bait™. ''last person who looked at me like that I got laid'' was a SHIPPY MOMENT #it was understood as such -as a friendly nod!- because back then there was no expectation of queer ships going canon #which sure was bleak fr but it was an industrywide problem! meanwhile it was validating/legitimizing to know we could even get Ship Teases #so ascribing malicious intent through the lens of post-gay marriage (+goldfish memory of everything before) is fully myopic #bitch you aren't more enlightened than people in the 2000s you won't even recognize the legitimacy of later gay writers queering that smdh #it's just as bleak that everyone now wants queerness to be rigidly defined+Approved by the LGBT Council no room for fluidity or PLAY #does that not completely undermine the whole point of us as uncategorizable / subverting corporate restrictions (as spn did!) as punk rock #fuck em assimilationists the future is Free to Be. not othering-ly marked All Gender Bathrooms but just... Bathrooms #not corporate-approved ideologically spotless Representation™ but actually valuing queer artistry self-expression and audience resonance #(and lol idk whatever happened to that term. maybe it was just the tropers and weebs who used it??)#spn #supernatural #spn is queer #mine

The brainrot is speaking... I need to create a side account for my DnD AU of Saint Seiya or I might turn evil for real this time

#wren text tag #more than speaking it's screaming in my ear... it's too powerful... help...#turning evil 🙄 as if I wasn't evil already 😂#In short I've been thinking of doodling stuff for it for some time now after that one text I wrote some time ago #and by thinking I mean. Every now and then I imagine which fit I can put those bastards in (they are like dolls to me💕💖)#at the same time I don't want to spam my main too much with rambles and stuff... so a sideblog would be the best option I think #also uhm the idea of having fun with some tumblr themes 🥰💕 so true bestie #yeah I think that could be really enjoyable. Now I have something to do during Xmas holiday lol #definitely don't expect a super duper lore drop or anything but if you want more of that AU... well. There's a sideblog and it exist #now you can see the Saint Seiya char as if they were in a fashion show. Cool uh?#look at the pretty medieval inspired outfits I put on them and be happy lol #the sideblog will be named like uhm “ofstarsandsaints” bc that's what I came up with and the last time I checked it was still f2u #and I hope no one stole it bc I'm kinda shit at finding names #I'd love to talk about one of my dnd character who's a thief and I named it Robin Banks bc I couldn't come up with anything better. Anyway.#better go and get it done

i love when you're just vibing w a new game and you have loose ideas of the characters and suddenly you're hit w a "oh man i have a new favourite don't i" bc uhhhh yeah

#shut up danni's talking #i should make a dragon age liveblog tag maybe bc inquisition is making me feel things #like i was already sucked in w the first two games but inquisition upped the game in some areas #danni liveblogs dragon age #anyways. one of my very minor pet peeves in da is that you get new companions every single game and very very few stick around #so i wasn't expecting to like a lot of the companions in inquisition and that kinda came true considering i have mixed opinions on like.#at least three of them i think. two for certain but one im still unsure abt #those are solas and sera w the other being cole #so i am INCREDIBLY pleased to be like new fave #bc i didn't really have one in 2 it sort of ended up being fenris i liked best but not enough to feel so strongly abt #my new fave btw is dorian he's just so dramatic and though he's prideful its not to an extent that it becomes a vice its endearing #he knows when to push it away sometimes and its great #my favourite non-companion is krem tho #he's so cool #not bc he's trans which he IS and i love him for it but bc he's just really a nice character????#slightly disappointed he's voiced by a woman but his voice actor is one of my favourite game voice actors so i have conflicting opinions #(its jennifer hale. she did female shepard in mass effect and rivet in ratchet and clank)#my second fave companion is varrick he's just. a wonderful friend and i love him.#he's so aro-coded and i love that for him. genuinely would love to be his bestie irl #he's also so supportive of hawke and the inquisitor he's like 'hell this one gets into all kinds of shit i have GOT to be there for them'#anyways. back to dragon age lol

Oh my god, I finally understand why everyone raves about London Calling by The Clash. Holy fucking shit is that an amazing album!

I already knew and loved "London Calling" and "Train in Vain", but hearing the album in full is like nothing I was expecting. Holy shit. I especially loved "Rudie Can't Fail", "Lost in the Supermarket", "Clampdown", "The Guns of Brixton", and "The Card Cheat" (for this last one I have to say: it doesn't matter if they're a punk band - I will always love piano in a rock song. ALWAYS. ...well, at least, given that it's played well).

#crystal visions of lilies in the valley #hello I'm dropping in with possibly a new obsession :)#I've been watching a few performances of my favorite Clash songs on YT over the past week or two at random #so finally today I was like 'okie-dokie I have never heard a Clash album in full. THE TIME IS NOW!' and oh my god. oh my god.#their debut album wasn't bad but WOOOOOOOOOOW they really exceeded expectations with London Calling (which I say ironically...#like as if a punk band started with any expectations beyond 'okay what have you got? you got three chords! all right.' lol)#I mean holy fuck I NEED to hear 'London Calling' on vinyl now oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood #anyway I GET IT NOW. OH MY GOD I GET IT #(also just btw I listened to their debut album and 'London Calling' only. I was going to go in order but then realized I'd never even heard #of their second album and I was like...hmm...maybe that's for a reason...? lmao unless anyone wants to recommend it in the replies)

With your headcanon that Jim wouldn't get involved with anyone he's serving a five year mission with, I'd love something where that's the source of the angst--maybe he or Bones has just survived another crisis and the thought of not being together is starting to wear thin, that sort of thing. Maybe I'm too devoted to angst 😂

Tell Me To Go (2,721 words). TOS!mckirk. explicit, approach with caution.

They couldn’t be more than this. They couldn’t have more than this… sometimes thing. Trektober Day 20 - Fraternization

It isn't exactly as the prompt, but it wouldn't be written without it. Jim just... didn't want to hold back? 😂 Headcanons are one thing, fics are another 😂 It's angsty-ish but happy ending-ish. It also references For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky.

#mckirk #jim kirk #leonard mccoy #star trek tos #trektober 2023 #my writing #it was my first time writing something like this (it wasn't planned. it just happened)#might be the first and last time lol #it's almost midnight and i'm posting this a bit early #thank you so much for the prompt! it really spoke to me... even though the end result is different #also since it ended up being rated E - which no one least of all me would expect - i don't expect you to read it #if it isn't something you're comfortable with #anyway yes jim just likes having 'sometimes' things with people lol

my ultimate wish for this next era is they finally let Ryan go like they did Andy. I'm so sick of not getting the content we deserve. All the gatekeeping of tour diaries and now the crumbs of concert footage in that "documentary" yesterday. he was working for months on that? that's why we didn't get tour diaries? all that footage just goes in his vault now? Please.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear you felt disappointed by yesterday's special. However, I feel compelled to comment on a few objective points in your ask.

- "Live & Backstage in Amsterdam" was directed by James Tonkin, the same director (and production team, Hangman) they worked with on "The Feeling of Falling Upwards" (and the unreleased "Live in Brixton" special). Ryan was credited as director of the documentary footage and as a contributing editor (1 of 3) but the live footage and overall final program was not his work.

- Regardless of the particular creatives involved here (or in any given project for that matter), the fact remains that any directors, producers, photographers, etc are all hired hands operating with full input and specific direction from the band. The band chose to make this a hybrid concert film/documentary. The band chose to condense the setlist the way they did. The band chose this format over the traditional tour diaries. What happens to the unused footage will be determined by the band. Ryan is a friend but he is first and foremost an employee and the band owns that footage. (Likewise, the MYT diaries are not sitting on Andy Deluca's hard drive because he's "gatekeeping" or too lazy to edit it. If the band wanted them released, they'd be released.) All this to say, of course you don't have to agree with the decisions but it's important to clarify who your complaint is with.

- This concept of the band or their collaborators "gatekeeping" and fans not getting what we "deserve" is, to be blunt, entitled and immature. Being a fan does not make an artist indebted to you. They make music, if you feel so inclined, you listen. That's it. That's the extent of the contract. Anything beyond that is optional for both parties. Any content an artist chooses to release is not out of obligation or generosity, it's part business strategy, part artistic vision. Artists do not owe you anything. This band does not owe you anything.

#apologies for the long answer but clearly i had a lot to say (still do tbh)#i didn't link it bc it hit a lot of the same points but i answered an ask with similar sentiments last year about the CM promo era aesthetic #bottom line is at the end of the day these dudes are not our friends shit posting they are professional artists #artists trying to fulfill not just a creative vision but also business obligations #the people they work with are tools in the toolbox hired to help accomplish those goals #they don't get raw footage and do whatever they want with it - the band will always get final say #the hate their collaborators get is always so bizarre to me-whether it be their signature style or the manner in which they deliver content #the band hired these people for a reason 🤷🏻‍♀️#also just bc I have the time: Andy was not 'let go'#thru their work with 5sos andy & sarah have become quite prolific mv directors both individually and as a team #as well as continuing to be in demand live music photographers - andy literally shot depeche mode last week #ryan has also had a number of high profile ad campaigns he's shot this year #what I'm saying is they don't need 5sos lol #the band likes their work and is lucky to have access to collaborators that make them feel understood #i just... can't reconcile this 'we deserve' bit #this was the third concert special in as many years... we only had to pay for one... bc it was a global livestream #it's ok to be disappointed if it wasn't what you expected and i don't mean to invalidate that #but this concept of 'deserving' is a different thing especially in the context of this fandom where entitlement is an ongoing issue #so that's where this long ass answer is coming from lol #anyways that's my rant for the year - just in under the wire!#ask #anon

rad! your approach to relationships is new age and experimental; you aren't afraid to try new things and if they don't work out, you scrap it and start a new challenge. your love is casual but that doesn't mean it isn't strong, you may not show it but beneath that blase attitude is a real tender person!
