*Spoilers from Dressrosa (One piece)*

. . . I'm sure that Oda isn't aware of this, but its funny that the only person who betrayed Luffy from the colosseum is the Jacket-Jacket man (Bc in spanish a "chaquetero" (jacketeer) is a person who switches sides easily depending on what benefits him most)

the thing is: jaehaerys didn't deny daenerys/rhaenys claims (the great council was a scam, he was endorsing viserys) to the throne for the "good of the realm" or only because he thought women can't rule/he didn't want corlys velaryon behind the power. he did it because if a women came upon the throne before her male brother/uncle, he would bring scrutiny over his usurpation of the far better claimant aerea.

got told i have mesmerizing eyes + got asked if i am lesbian in a span of 5 minutes we are so back

[mushroominaforest]

So okay I know I was literally just whining about school a bunch but it is definitely awesome to get to see all my (and I do have some, believe it or not) friends again! The one I was worried about was actually super chill so I think it’s fine now lol. She does have beef with my other friends though and she does still hate the friend I maybe sorta have a tiny crush on.

(Okay so that friend that I might have a crush on held my hand today when we were walking to English class and I stg I was moments away from spontaneously combusting.)

(Ignore the messy drawing lol)

She’ll be yapping about something that annoyed her meanwhile I am no longer breathing and by some miracle she remains completely oblivious.

She keeps doing stuff like this and that’s why we had so many dating allegations last year lmfao

[emilys-mich]

Something about Emily being called rude and harsh for the way she handled Eldon basically harassing her, before being guilt tripped for hurting his feelings and then pressured into going on a date with him.

Something about Emily trying to gain Amanda’s trust by pretending to turn against the team, having to to portray herself as incredibly cruel and selfish, and struggling to cope with how easily everyone believed it.

Something about Emily saying goodbye to Michelle, tears streaming down her face, admitting to thinking she’s not kind or compassionate enough on her own, and scared that she won’t be able to be a mentor and a role model without Michelle to guide her.

Something about being a good person at your core, but nobody ever acknowledges it so you don’t even know that you are.

Something about this character who, despite the countless number of times she’s felt it break, genuinely believes she might not have a heart.

how do you feel about all this dancing in bls lately? is this a new trope?

It's certainly gotten very excitable. I am trying to remember when @heretherebedork and I decided this was a trope. 2022? Hold on lemme check. No, 2023!

Short answer, yes, definitely a trend.

How do I feel? Generally way more positive about it than singing.

Let me explain.

Singing = one boy performing for the (dubious) pleasure of another boy.

Dancing = an activity they can do together as a pair, plus it's often combined with the public claiming trope, a personal favorite. Plus way more common to my own queer arse experience, ya know going out dancing together rather than singing at someone all ruthlessly like that.

IMHO it's more a straight white boy thing, picking up a guitar at a gathering and expecting everyone to ooo and ahh and pay attention to HIM HIM HIM. I mean did we ask him and his dirty man bun to start strumming off key and interrupting our perfectly enjoyable conversation with that cute couple in the corner? No we did not.

oooo my collegiate baggage is emerging

Singing has an egotistical "look at me" element to it that I find repulsive.

I mean, what if one doesn't WANT to be sung at?

This.

I ask you?

Because I sure don't.

Dancing on the other hand.

Is great.

im wondering how the "straight up tail = friendly" cat body language would translate to miqo'te who are already like. upright. does it stay that way and miqos appear at their friendliest when their tail is pressed up against their backs? do they stick it straight out instead? a sort of 45 degree angle with the spine? much to think about.

the other thing re the lumateran homophobia discussion is of course the fact that the insult du jour for foreigners is that they are inherently less masculine (& therefore inherently lesser in general)

[aparticularbandit]

Still turning Wicked around in my head.

Rotating it in the tumbler.

Debating writing something with it but like. Not quite there.

There's a couple of moments that scream to me.

Not sure my grasp of the characters is strong enough and like it....

It's Wicked, with its huge fandom, and it's....

I want to make sure I have the grasp on the characters I want before getting into it.

[pizzabookbuying]

been going through a bit of a rough patch and I’m gonna try to treat it with fandom will update on effectiveness
