#gay gob is concerning

[anonymous-tals]

Tony feels a massive wave of relief the day Gob finally agrees to maybe try therapy.

I hc that Gob gets nightmares of actual and imagined J. Walter Weatherman lessons and this is based off a little sketch I did a while ago about that.

#gob is concerning 24/7 and tony is ever-concerned for his wellbeing #i’m hoping to finish that sketch someday #this comic didn’t actually start out as being based off of that it just sort of turned into it #it was actually originally a part of another thing I’m working on #that I guess is still technically related since it’s about Gob agreeing to do therapy #but it was more so specifically about Gob like deflecting and being like ‘pshh i’m fine i don’t need therapy i have you!’ #and tony being like ‘okay but what if i’m not able to help you or i’m not in your vicinity at the time.’ #sort of expressing ya know that of course tony is always willing to be there for Gob but he’s worried about what if there’s a time #where gob needs help and he can’t help him for whatever reason #i’ll probably still do that #if not now eventually #but more likely eventually since i’m already planning out other drawings #gob bluth #will arnett #tony wonder #ben stiller #blunder #arrested development #arrested development fanart #gay gob is concerning

One thing I love about the LWH AU is how it completely derails the political nightmare atmosphere. Good!JZX did that too but JGS and Bad!JZX might have been able to wrestle it back on the rails in canon. But once LWH yeets JC into a fake dating friends to lovers romcom its all over. Twin Jades almost qi deviating. JC like a GPS recalculating route. Everyone waiting to see if a Nie feels like confessing their undying love while we're here. JGS can't operate properly in this atmosphere.

it's the big distraction everyone needs (except jgs fuck him lol)

jgs keeps trying to redirect a lot of the discussion conferences, but no one is having it in this au. the drama is too juicy. they're waiting for the next conference at gusu/yunmeng, so they can see this train wreck in person. will sect leader jiang agree (why wouldn't he, it's such an auspicious match)? lan qiren approves??? everyone that's anyone took lessons at the cloud recesses, they know of their famed love story origin. this is Gusu Lan Romance, the Sequel.

good!jzx is doing everything he can to deflect notice from lanling jin, his renewed betrothal, himself - that's enough mortification for one lifetime "ah... since... since jiang-guniang's brother is sect leader, it might be more appropriate for him to be wed first..."

jgy works hard, but gossip mills work harder - especially when his wants are in contrast w the current affairs. he also is roped into damage control by lxc, who has never been blindsided in this way.

nmj, being close to lxc and his family for most of his life, knows exactly how the little lan brat's actions are going to affect her geges and long-suffering uncle. the first moment of privacy he gets, nmj is near howling with laughter. he wishes no ill will on lxc, but there's something so hilarious watching your most-composed friend be utterly gob smacked by something innocuous.

the kiss flies out of both lwj and wwx's heads. wwx is too busy laughing 'ahahaha a stone-faced lan confessed to jiang cheng ahahahhaha' and once the shock wears off for lwj, the implication that even if his own gay pining can't come to fruition, he's still going to be related to jc is Not Acceptable.

"No"

"a-cheng, it's rude to be so curt with a young lady. and she's not a bad match, won't you consider it?"

"haha- yeah, jiang cheng, she -hahah - you'll break her fragile maiden heart hahahhaa" wwx sees lwh as female-lwj (which her first appearance and stoicism does nothing to debunk that), and imagining lwj with a fragile maiden heart, concerned over these frivolous matters of the heart has him fucking rolling.

(jc changes his mind when the first meeting, a private invitation to lotus pier to formally reject lwh, starts with lwh enduring wwx's teasing.

as lwj's agitation grows more and more obvious, lwh just "it is doubtful that wei-gongzi has any experience, judging from how he peddles his stories like conmen hawk their false goods." the directness of her response, one with zero-embarrassment and spoken like fact, renders wwx unable to respond as typical.

jc thinks 'someone that can shut his mouth. maybe this can work out.')

#when the lan personality works for jc instead of getting in his way #lwh doesn't have shame in what she says because she has nothing to feel shame over #'this wenhui does not reside in a glass house' 'a what?' 'those without sin cast the first stone' #Anonymous #inquiry #mdzyx #lan wenhui #zyx au's

puckert, klaine, and blunder for the ship ask meme

thank you! and ohhhh boy lol

Let’s start with Blunder - which I obviously ship way too much lol

What made you ship it?

Just the whole show? Lol I think like most people it was all of “A New Attitude” and the “SAME!” scene. It just blew my mind to see this sort of plot from a sitcom? Like, I remember the first time I saw it back in 2013 I was just so amazed they even had them have sex and everything like. God. What a TIME. 

And lbr, I got so fixated on it because I just finished grad school when s5A came out and all my hyperfixations have happened when I’ve been transitioning to a new part of my life. G/lee was going into undergrad, Crazy Ex was going to grad school, etc. 

What are your favorite things about the ship?

The mountains of meta I’ve written on them just…I love that they are truly same but also not-same enough to balance each other out. The fact they truly understand each other so naturally. The fact they both actually do respect each other - even if Tony truly is the better magician. The fact they are both so truly, truly DUMB in every sense of the word. Like, you know there’s the fandom thing of just referring to any characters you like as dumb and all, but they are truly, truly SO FUCKING DUMB.

And, god, in the finale when Tony goes from yelling at Sally to just smiling and speaking so softly to Gob…the ultimate dynamic of him just melting in front of this goofball is everything.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Lol I think all of us think very similarly about the two of them, right down to the sexual dynamic. 

Puckurt - ship it (regretably to this day)

What made you ship it?

Honestly, it started with fanfics. I was a senior in high school during s1 (ugh if THAT doesn’t age me so fucking much…) and went on ff.net to see what people were writing and was a little surprised there was SO MUCH Puck/Kurt, since I assumed it would’ve been Kurt and Finn what with the canon crush/love Kurt had for him. And after that I just kept watching and started seeing things and this would be the best summary…

What are your favorite things about the ship?

THE PATRIOTISM. Lmfao, okay, there was this thing that literally every time they had a scene together, or even like NEAR each other, Kurt would wear stars and stripes. Like, when I ran Puckurt Week the 2nd time, it was planned purposefully over July 4th just for the Stars and Stripes theme. It’s quite possibly the best gifset I ever made lmao. Also in the “Me Against the Music” scene, everyone is coupled up in the background with canon couples - Tina/Mike, Finn/Rachel - and then Puckurt are together like WHAT EVEN. 

Beyond that, they just had a lot of sweet moments people just ignored like okay, Kurt’s dad was in the hospital in a fucking coma and little sweet fucking Noah “Puck” Puckerman, knowing Kurt didn’t want to hear about people praying for his dad, FUCKING TOOK HIS NANA TO TEMPLE AND PRAYED FOR HIM SINCE HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO NOT HAVE A DAD AROUND!!! “MY BOY KURT!” THE BARBRA-VENTION TO STOP RACHEL’S NOSE JOB!!! THIS LAUGH!!! THE PARALLELS IN THEIR STORIES!!! “THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE MISSING OUT ON, PUCKERMAN: TRUE LOVE”!!!!

And, again, I am all about the complementing dynamic. Bad boy Puck loosens up Ice Queen Kurt. The redemption of it all. Enemies to friends to lovers. God, I keep trying to make myself get over them but I know I never will.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Just the fact I still like it, probably? For what used to be the most popular Kurt ship, I’m sure it’s considered not cool to like it anymore. I mean, part of why I want to not ship it is, not just because I don’t want to be so attached to Glee, but because of what Mark Salling did/turned out to be. He’s scum and I had very much separated him from the character of Puck by the time he got arrested but STILL…

And now for the negative - I hate Klaine with a fiery passion

Why don’t you ship it? 

Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start, and then go from there with just (some) of my complaints (all of which and more could be found here lol)

Blaine calling Kurt unsexy (while knowing Kurt has a crush on him). Blaine saying Kurt was trying too hard with “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” when he’s way more over the top. Him saying he wouldn’t go for Tony in WSS and then SINGING ONE OF TONY’S SONGS FOR THE AUDITION. Him literally PULLING KURT DOWN AND TRYING TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM WHEN KURT SAID NO REPEATEDLY Kurt and then KURT had to apologize for not being his “gay bar superstar”!!! If that was a girl, we all know people wold’ve called it out for what it was. and I cannot believe people still shipped them after that.

Then you add in how Blaine flirted REPEATEDLY with Sebastian but got mad at Kurt for texting another guy, and  Blaine cheating on Kurt and getting mad that Kurt was spending time AT HIS JOB and not paying him attention? The fact that just a few weeks after he was in a gay bashing he was upset that Kurt had muscles and was seen as hot because that was his role? I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE SHIPPED THIS AND STILL SHIP THIS!! Like it seriously concerns me that people like them so much!!! I’m all for liking ships that aren’t morally okay but the fact that people who like them think they’re HEALTHY…I don’t get why they like them.

(it’s because they’re all hot for darren and used kurt as a self-insert, like, literally, that’s what all klaine fanfic turned into)

What would have made you like it?

I actually liked them at first, but I hated them by the time Blaine kissed Kurt. If they had kept with the dynamic of Blaine being this mentor/ally who helped him build his confidence…if he had stayed consistent to his “Never Been Kissed” personality, I would’ve been on board.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

They still did my favorite version ever of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and it will forever be on my Christmas playlists. And, I discussed this recently with a friend, but, honestly, “Never Been Kissed” truly was a landmark episode for television no matter what Klaine turned into and no matter how much the quality of the show went down with it. 

Send me ships!

#ask meme #ship meme #thanks for asking!! sorry for the rant lol #lol klaine #oh man remember my notp tag i made for them??? #notp: dead birds turn me on #otp: what you're missing out on #otp: same #I cannot believe it is 2021 and i just got that emotional over puckurt oh lord #boasamishipper #bite me in the ask #long post

Honestly B99 on NBC feels exactly like Arrested Development when the got picked up by Netflix (series cancelled after a natural resolution, fan support gets it picked back up, some actors start dropping out, they try and ride high off fan nostalgia instead of writing new jokes, and they start going against all the values which made people like the original show.) Like, maybe it'll pick up again and it's just been a few bad eps, but honestly watching it just makes me feel... kinda gross by now

i mean... arrested development s4 took place like,, 7-8 years after s3? so there’s that to take into account but post cancellation arrested development gave us one of the most compelling love stories of all time????? gob and tony wonder????????????? magician enemies who seduce each other under the assumption that the other is gay in order to destroy each other (bc they both think they’re ‘pretending’ to be gay) but they end up falling in love??????????????????????? what the FUCK did b99 give me. huh?? where’s my stupid gay love story that’s also the most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen w my own two eyes???? as far as i’m concerned, b99 is DEAD to me 

#ask #i'm mostly kidding hfgjdfsjfhgjfs its tru tho :/ #but also ad s5 part2 didn't do blunder (their ship name ghjfdfksjdfhs) much justice :( #ur right tho i see the slight parallels #also both shows used to be on fox #anyway like b99 in general is like great i guess and i love it i guess #but also i didn't get dianetti so deep down i'm always gonna be upset about that #dianetti was a goldmine and the show passed on it so #what can i say #Anonymous

Can I get Jealous Rung, Tarn,Cygate,Prowl and Rodimus with a F!Techno organic reader and their Ex?

I’m to assume the Ex wants them back? Well, okay then let’s do this!

●◆■▲▼◆●Rung: Holo-avatar!

Bless his spark for all those years psychology classes for training him at hiding his emotions. Because right now? he was about ready to call Ten or Fort Max to “take care” of his unwanted guest. Said guest being your Ex. Who the two of you ran into while on a date on one of the human’s space colony stations. He invited himself along and kept, trying to get your attention away from the bespectacled Avatar.

who was certain, your Ex had Narcissistic personality disorder and sadly still had feelings for you as he was doing a poor job at getting you back.

“So, what Ring collects models or something?” the human snorted as he eyed the air plane model he just bought, His avatar’s lips twitched as you gave your ex a tired look.“it’s Rung, and he’s Psychologist.”

(Ex/n)’s pinky twitched Rung observed this everytime Ex/n paused to think “So, he around dangerous psychopaths all the time?” he put on a “concerned” front, Rung hummed as your ex went on a heroic rant.

about how he didn’t feel safe knowing you were exposed to that, and how one of his Nutcases could snap and harm you! Rung ignored the rant, however he did react to your Ex motioning like he was going to touch you,

“Forgive my intrusion, but could you please back away from my Girlfriend. I don’t feel safe knowing she’s being exposed to you.” Your Ex made a sour face as Rung went on to psychoanalyze them. whose eye twitched as Rung hit the mark and some nerves.

“I been watching you body language and ticks the entire time since you invite yourself toOUR date. and have come to a diagnosis, You are either a Sociopath or suffer from NPD, OCD and possible Bi-polar disorder, Now there are ways to help you. so, you can live a semi normal life.”

“Semi normal? what the hell else do I have?”

“Simple Nutcase, there’s no cure for douche baggery… Come along Y/n, Rodimus wanted us back on the ship five minutes ago.”

“Tsk’ whatever, she’ll know what she’s missing out on!”

Ex/n huffed trying to save his wounded pride as (y/n) walked next to Rung who looked down a the [your height] Techno-organic who was smirking at him. “What?” The (h/c) just giggle “Nothing, just you’re kinda sexy when you’re jealous~♪” the Psychologist’s glasses fogged up as his girlfriend dragged him back to the ship.

●◆●◆●◆●◆●Tarn:

He was watching *stalking* his girlfriend as she walked around an alien market place.

To make sure no one bothered her, considering the whole place had seen her and Tarn walk off the DJD’s ship? Needless to say she could take and do whatever she wants and no one could really stop her unless they wanna deal with Tarn.

Who was currently wandering behind her, when someone called out to them “{Y/n!} hey” Tarn’s optics narrowed as His Girlfriend’s face soured at the approaching male organic. whom everyone gawked at like he was lunatic {Ex/n} what the hell are you doing here?“ the T.O. femme hissed as Tarn was slowly getting closer.

"Is that any way to speak to your Fiance?”

“Ex Fiance, it was an arranged engagement and I turned you down.”

“That’s not what your father-”

“My father can go to hell! I’m not going anywhere with you, besides I’m already with someone who appreciates me for me and not my money and lineage” “Oh, really and where is this mystery man? because all I see is trash-” the color in (EX/n)’s face drained as a shadow loomed over him “Meet Tarn, my Boyfriend. Tarn this is the one I told you about. the boy who abandoned me in space.”

Tarn’s optic’s narrowed the “the one who beat you and gave you that scar on your face?~” the purple and black mech hummed joyfully as Y/n nodded he eyed the tiny organic male who fell on his ass.

Tarn reached down and plucked him off the ground.and started juggling him “Oh, been waiting for you.” he purred looking down at his femme “I hear you earthlings have a saying… Eye for an eye was it?” The T.O. girl nodded she smirked when Ex/n let out a unmanly shriek as Tarn made it seem like he going to drop him; only to be caught at the last second.

“Well I have something like that in mind when we introduce him to others come along dear.” (Y/n) smiled as they walked back to the ship guess she’ll tease him about being jealous later…

■▲▼▲■▲▼▲■

Poly Cyclonus and Tailgate:holoavatars

Both Cyclonus and Tailgate were worried about (Y/n) she was late for their date or “family outing” they looked like a couple and their child. Cyclonus hummed as Tailgate started rattling off scenarios, like kidnapping, being ill or lost! the baby-like avatar started crying. Cyclonus told him to calm down when they caught sight of their Girlfriend who seems to have attracted an unwanted male guest.

the two mechs felt a wave of protective instinct and jealousy wash over them as the man was getting too close for their liking. Cyclonus growled and marched over to the Techo organic and mystery male, who put his hand on her only for (y/n) to slap it away.

“Don’t touch me! I told leave me alone! (Ex/n)!”

“Look, I’m sorry for cheating on you with your cousin, can’t we just start over? I miss you.”

“Go set yourself on fire!”

“baby come on! Don’t be like that.”

He made a made a move like he was going to grab her again, only for a tall woman holding a baby to block slap his hand away with a riding whip.“Ow! what the fuck?” Ex/n hissed holding his arm as he glared at the mystery woman.

 Who ignored him “Cy…uh,Camilla? Tali? what are you doing?” The purple haired woman scanned her for any injuries, before zeroing on a small bruise on her wrist before smacking Ex/n again.“What’s your fricken problem lady?!” the organic snarled.

Cyclonus just gave him a look that could boil steel, “My problem is you harassing my girlfriend.” his avatar’s red-brown eyes narrowed at a gob-smacked Ex. Tailgate reached out to his T.O. girlfriend she calmly took him in her arms he hugged her.

“What the hell? you’re gay?!” [Y/n] frown as her Ex pointed at her and her “Girlfriend” who just smirk and wrapped an arm around her waist “so, what if I am? at least they’re faithful and make me happy.” her Ex grimaced walked away with his tail between legs.

Tailgate and Cyclonus spoke over each other “who was that guy?”“did he hurt you?” The techno organic, looked between both her boyfriends then“He was a mistake and no, not anymore.” the two mechs hummed as the rest of the day went off without a hitch. 

though (y/n) was a little confused when a crudely drawn picture of Ex/n being used as a volleyball by Whirl and Cyclonus appeared on her hab-suite’s fridge the next day.

●◆●☆●◆●Prowl

When Prowl is jealous he gets quiet and stubborn, such as the situation is right now (Y/n) and Prowl were on a drive when they stopped at a coffee shop. The Techno-organic was half way inside when a unknown male called out to her, the police felt a ball of ice form in his fuel pump as the guy talked to HIS femme like he knew her…

His mirrors adjusted and followed the two as the entered the shop. (y/n) looking increasingly uncomfortable as time wore on, When they finally came out the tecno-organic made a beeline for the police car. but, was caught by the male who grabbed her elbow.

“Hey, wait up”

“Get off me!”

“Whoa! easy (y/n) I was gonna ask if you were busy later maybe we cou-”

“I’m gonna stop you right there Ex, We are over what part of that don’t you understand?”

The male opened his mouth like he was going to say something, when a pair of arms wrapped around the techno organic’s waist.and she was thrown over someone’s shoulder.

before being put in the passenger seat of Prowl’s alt-form. his avatar got in and in a flash they were speeding off, showering (y/n)’s ex in dirty muddy water. “Damn Prowl you’re a real prick when you’re jealous.” his response was an annoyed grumble.

☆★★☆★☆★☆Rodimus:

Rodimus glared as (Y/n)’s EX chatted with her, He remembered her telling him about EX; he was a jerk he only dated her, to get a another girl jealous when it didn’t work he dumped her.

Rodimus’s avatar’s eye twitched as he heard (Ex/n) made a sob story about how he “missed” Y/n and how he was moron not seeing a good thing when he had it. Rodimus had heard enough and calmly went over to (y/n)’s table “can I help you?” Ex/n huffed at the tall brown haired man glaring at him.

Rodimus smirked grabbed Ex’s cup and dumped his smoothie all over the jerk’s head Ex stood up looking at his clothes then at the guy only to find him and (Y/N) gone and hastily scribbled on a napkin {Don’t mess with my girl!}

Outside Rodimus and (Y/n) were continuing their date walking back to his alt-mode before he stopped her.

“you won’t leave me,right?”

“where’s this coming from?”

“Well, the way you talked about him you seemed happy.”

“Yeah because I was picturing him getting struck by lightning! but, seeing a strawberry kiwi smoothie getting dumped on his head was even better.”

(Y/N) kissed him Rodimus smirked feeling proud of himself before (Y/n) giggled “Besides it was kind of fun watching you get all hot and jealous.~♪” Rodimus face turned red as he sputtered that he wasn’t jealous and needed to get back to the ship.

Why You Should Never Befriend Racists

So you fell into a coma in 2012 waiting for Nibiru to hit the Earth. Now you're just waking up, and somehow found your way to Tumblr. 

Congratulations: welcome to 2017 hell. You're probably wondering what happened - were the Mayans speaking in metaphor? Was the "end-of-all-time" a code word for the advent of backwards, right-winged fever?

I don't know. Maybe so: actually, that would explain a lot. All I can say is this: the first black president was finishing up his 8th year in the White House, all the most objective news sources in America said Hillary Clinton would be next, and the progress-train was chugging along nicely. Then like a bolt of lightning, Trump happened.

That's right. Donald. Fucking. Trump. 45th president of the United States, and he won by nearly half the popular vote.

So he just finished signing the "Ban Brown People, Because They're Brown" act, and now that half the country decided to sign up for the KKK, you're probably wondering what to do. Well I'm gonna tell you - hunker down and join the fight! You've got several good options, and one really awful option which you shouldn't take for any reason whatsoever. Let's dive in:

1. I like to call this one "racist island". First things first: make sure you're in a blue state, where racist germs haven't managed to turn everyone into Nazi scum. Secondly, carry around signs asking your state to leave the union. Throw in a piece of paper for good measure, collect some signatures, and maybe even start an online petition demanding that your state peel itself off the red-white-and-blue bubblegum so good, enlightened, non-trump-voting people can get away from the barbaric racist horde.

Your state now gets to be totally self-sufficient. It will be awesome. Best of all, you can build a giant wall to keep out the racists, and leave them to cannibalize each-other in their homogeneous, privileged hell-hole. You don't need the rest of America; if a lot of people disagree with you, you get to leave. That's how democracy works.

2. Flood newspapers like the New York Times with angry op-eds denouncing racism, and point out that Trump voters hate Muslims, Jews, gays, hipsters, transgenders, Hindus, Jains, Syrian Christians, and everyone else who obviously can’t be white. This step can be a little tricky, because big newspapers are really unbiased, and they represent both political sides fairly because they have a diverse audience from across the political spectrum, so it’s frankly a toss-up on whether you’ll get published in the first place or be ravenously gobbled up by people who already agree with you. 

But if you do this enough, your message will reach the right people at their heart: racists will read your op-ed in droves, and see for themselves the primitive cavemen that they actually are.

3. De-escalate rabid islamophobia and mass conspiracy theories about media bias by subtly changing the language of news reports so they mask the identity of minority perpetrators. Covering for Islamic terrorism is a great way to raise public support for Islam, and Islamic immigrants. Addressing the issue head-on, talking like there's an issue in the first place, or suggesting alternatives to Trump's Brown People Ban will only (say it with me now) escalate the hate!

It's worth pointing out just how important this step is. Apparently drawing inspiration from Obama's notorious Christian concentration camps, Trump is currently building concentration camps for Muslims. You gotta keep that from happening - steer clear of implicating Muslims, and racists won't bother to sniff out the sources, read the article, and they especially won't automatically believe Muslims were responsible with or without this tactic.

4. Punch Nazis in the damn face. You heard me right: sock those suckers right in the gob. Violence is always the answer for people who have dangerous and cancerous opinions. Innocent bystanders don't get hurt in riots against racist speakers, and anyways, punching Nazis is an American tradition, much like apple pie and date-rape.

Whatever you do, don't let the fools speak. The unwashed, brainless masses will absorb racist opinions like a filthy sponge. Scientific studies have also shown that a sound biff in the melon resets defective, racist neurons, soundly persuading your audience that you are right and they are wrong without any conversation or debate.

5. Befriend racists, and pretend they're just normal people with screwy minds. Listen to what they say, and try to show them why you're concerned.

Now this is the worst option by far, and it's very dangerous. First of all, talking to racists will probably turn you into a racist. Secondly, befriending racists won't change anyone.

People in this country talk to each other already.

We do not have a problem with extreme language.

We don't use strawmen and hyperbole to refer to our political opponents.

We aren't alienating anyone, or isolating ourselves to thought bubbles, thereby creating the very thing we want to destroy.

(Please for the love of Abraham Lincoln riding a bald eagle: befriend racists.)

[anonymous-tals]

I was thinking about the scenes where Gob does something gay and Michael straight up doesn’t acknowledge it, as if nothing even happened, and as much as that says something about Gob and how frequently he must be doing gay things to make it so normalized and unremarkable, it also says something about how good Michael is at compartmentalizing; how good he’s had to get at it. He has no room for emotions. And while it may come off like he doesn’t have any, like he’s a robot, to put it in Gob-terms, it’s really that he just doesn’t have time for emotions. He’s basically- No, not even basically. He is in charge of taking care of his family and there is near constant stuff going wrong. He’s plugging leaks on a sinking ship; that’s his job and it has been since he was a child. He doesn’t have time to properly fix anything but *gasp* it would be selfish of him to ever think to build a new boat and abandon this one, how dare he! That’s what he was taught. He knows how awful his parents are, how exhausting it is having to constantly pick up after his siblings, but he’d be “selfish” for abandoning them and so he has to stay and help the boat stay afloat. And even though some holes are larger and more concerning than others, he’s been taught those ones are less important. And he’s probably also learned that those take a lot longer to effectively patch up so those are hastily dealt with before focusing on the other ones he can “more easily” attempt to quickly and effectively patch up, the ones seen as priority.

If it wasn’t clear, the larger, more concerning holes are the ones about emotions.

When your life is as chaotic as Michael’s, certain things will take precedent over others. Things that involve emotions can take time, especially in this family where the trauma they’d be unpacking runs wayyyy deep. AND unpacking those traumas, even just those of his siblings, would lead to Michael having to more deeply acknowledge that maybe he really should jump ship on this metaphorical boat. If he acknowledges that his siblings need more than sucking it up and getting a job, the curtain already thinly veiling his trauma would become practically see through and again, he doesn’t have time for emotions, he has a company to keep afloat, so that cannot happen.

Ah, his parents are just kinda jerky, ya know? They can just be kinda jerky sometimes, nothing more. Everyone has conflict with their parents sometimes. That’s just family stuff, ya know? Parents can be jerks and you just gotta deal with that sometimes…all the times…But they’re only a little jerky so it doesn’t- it doesn’t even really mean anything.

But his parents having him prioritize them and the company is what's making the boat sink because the larger, more concerning holes are just getting bigger and bigger and more impossible to just patch up but Michael just has to be like, "Dang, hole, uhhh, a bit dramatic of you to continue getting bigger and bigger and more impossible to just patch up, huh?" BUT THAT DOESN'T FIX HOLES. They're still there, gaping and splintered and ultimately, those holes will be what lead to their death; or at least, a faster death since that ship was doomed to sink, with or without the siblings on board. But it's hard to blame him cause what he's been taught to do! It's how he survives. It's how he stays sane. It's how he rationalizes it all. Even all the way in season five when the company is in shambles and I'm pretty sure the only two people working at the company are Adhir and Gob, Michael is still dedicated to keeping it afloat. The captain goes down with the ship but Michael's not going down in a noble or courageous sense. His parents have shoved him at the wheel, imposed dedication and taught a lack of self preservation or care or prioritization. This boat is trash but he can't let go, otherwise, his efforts have been for nothing and he'd be a failure. Of course, Stupid Michael couldn't save the ship. Does he even care about his family?

thoughts

i’m not on either side of The Disk Horse because i believe both side can be rly flawed in somma their arguments (being homophobic is fucked even if it’s “only” towards “tumblr gays”, also calling everyone who is inclusive a pedo doesn’t help ppl take u seriously, those are just the tips of the iceberg tbh) BUT i would like to say that i would, after some digging around, fit more into the exclusionist side of things purely because exclusionists are the only ones who seem to understand that 1) demisexuality and grey-asexuality and whatever else are not real, or at least NOT asexuality, and 2) if ur runnin around being just as sexual as everyone else there’s no point to calling urself asexual, and the whole Identity Politics And Microlabeling shit tumblr loves contributed very heavily to that and thus ruined the word asexual for everyone lol. but still i don’t see the point in taking sides anymore

i rly don’t agree w/ a lot of the old shit i’ve said putting it into perspective now, and that probably came from a lack of real world experience and just. feeling as if i was being personally attacked? but at the end of the day that was me projecting my own insecurities and making assumptions based on tumblr’s language, which is always shaky and ALWAYS geared towards only one mindset (the “right” one). real acephobes as i know them aren’t mad gay teens, they’re ppl who don’t even believe asexuality exists or believe it constitutes mental illness or sociopathy or smth

the discourse doesn’t interest me. i’m not interested in discussing if all aces are lgbt+ because frankly that’s not a battle i can see myself fighting. some people get involved in politics and know what they’re doing with it, some flat out shouldn’t (e.g. meself) because of a lack of prior knowledge or experience with this sorta thing. so honestly can’t say my opinion of the discourse itself has changed because i actually never rly had one? my main concern was always “wow do ppl hate asexuals????” not “aces are SO lgbt+ by default!!!” it just never was a battle i felt the need to participate in, maybe because irl nobody seems to care and it rly doesn’t SEEM to be affecting anything? classique discourse example: yeah a cishet ace guy taking up space at an lgbt+ shelter....... probably just needs to find another shelter because obviously he has issue but why is everyone assuming ppl would take the dude in anyway? also if an ace phones into an lgbt+ hotline trained to help them too so they don’t kill themselves how is that wrong or bad? ya know what im sayin

tumblr is rly weird in how its politics work. anyway i don’t have much else to say i guess except i don’t have one position or the other in the discourse despite digging through gobs of arguments from both sides. guess i’m #privileged enough to not have to think too hard about it but whatever, just stop calling urself ace if u wanna fuck the end period LOL

Changing tenses in the midst of a paragraph

There's a New Yorker article ( http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/05/08/growing-up-poor-and-queer-in-a-french-village/amp) by Booker nominated American author Garth Greenwell, on a bestselling French novel. In this posting I will be drawing your attention to the manner in which the French writer changes tenses in sentences within the same paragraph. Garth writes : “The End of Eddy” (Farrar, Straus & Giroux; translated, from the French, by Michael Lucey) covers five or six years in the life of Eddy Bellegueule, a child growing up poor and gay in Hallencourt—in the novel, Louis refers to it only as “the village”—where he’s viciously mocked for his effeminate manners, what his family calls his “fancy ways.” In the book’s opening pages, Eddy is ten, and two boys, somewhat older, are assaulting him in a middle-school hallway. They call him “faggot” before spitting in his face; soon they’re shoving him; finally, as his head slams against the wall, they kick him, laughing. The passage is brutal and vivid, but it lacks the usual markers of tension or urgency: the narration wavers unsteadily between past and present tense, and there’s a lyrical slowing of time, an almost luxurious lingering on sensation as the boys’ saliva slides down Eddy’s face. Louis pauses the drama for digressions on violence in the village, on how the structures of domination in the playground mirror those in the world at large, even on dental care Here's the excerpt the above is talking about. “From my childhood I have no happy memories. I don’t mean to say that I never, in all those years, felt any happiness or joy. But suffering is all-consuming: it somehow gets rid of anything that doesn’t fit into its system. Two boys appeared in the hallway, the first tall with red hair, and the second short with a hunchback. The tall redhead spat in my face How do you like that, punk. The gob of spit dripped slowly down my cheek, thick and yellow, like the noisy mucus that obstructs the throats of old people or people who are ill, with a strong, sickening smell to it. Shrill, strident laughter from the two boys Look, right in his face, the little pussy. It is dripping from my eye right toward my lips, ready to enter my mouth. I don’t dare wipe it off. I could; I’d only have to lift my sleeve. It wouldn’t even take a second, a tiny movement, to prevent the spit from coming into contact with my lips, but I do nothing for fear of offending them, for fear of making them more agitated than they already are.” Excerpt From: Louis, Édouard. “The End of Eddy.” Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Concerning what Garth writes about 'the narration wavers unsteadily between past and present tense, ' note the tense change from past to present in "The gob of spit dripped slowly down my cheek, thick and yellow, like the noisy mucus that obstructs the throats of old people or people who are ill, with a strong, sickening smell to it." The change in tense in 'dripped' of the past, to the present tense verbs of 'obstructs' and 'are' is normal, and is actually not a slip in editing. The use of the present tense tells the reader of something that normally happens in this kind of situation. But it is not normal though with these subsequent sentences using the present tense: "It is dripping from my eye right toward my lips, ready to enter my mouth. I don’t dare wipe it off. I could; I’d only have to lift my sleeve. It wouldn’t even take a second, a tiny movement, to prevent the spit from coming into contact with my lips, but I do nothing for fear of offending them, for fear of making them more agitated than they already are." Those sentences are also illustrating 'a lyrical slowing of time, an almost luxurious lingering on sensation as the boys’ saliva slides down Eddy’s face.' Now back to our topic about that tense changing. There is one justification I can see for this abrupt changing to the present tense. This bringing of a traumatic experience in the past right up front to the present is a way of giving it more immediacy. Do you see another reasoning for this tense changing? Do tell if you do in the comments.

Do you have any mbti ideas for AD characters?

Hey! Well, I have been thinking about it and I have some ideas lol. They’re a bit hard to figure out because, after all, it’s arrested development, meaning they haven’t really grown up, which makes seeing their cognitive functions harder to figure out. Someone did typings on funkymbti, but I don’t agree with all of them 100%, but I’m no expert. But, again, I wouldn’t mind taking a swing at it. My personal rundown, with explanations under the cut, is:

Gob - ESTP (this is the one I am the MOST confident on)

Michael - ESTJ

Lindsay - ENFP

Buster - ISFJ

George Michael - ISFJ

Maeby - ISTP

Lucille - ESTJ

Tobias - ENFP

George - ENTJ

Tony (mostly speculative) - INFJ

Gob - definitely an ESTP. Like, holy shit, he’s a stereotypical ESTP. A stereotypical ESTP is the partier, the jock, the popular kid. He’s totally in a Se-Fe (Extroverted Sensing-Extroverted Feeling) loop most of the time; basically his manic stages because, yes, I have to fit in the bipolar Gob theory whenever possible. Anyways, he seeks adventure and sex and drugs and alcohol and is somehow magically ALIVE, so he either has no limits or knows his limits, making me believe his Se is high. Fe explains his ability to charm people, as Mitch described him as someone who doesn’t even realize he’s being charming. To quote mbti notes, “Tertiary Fe often makes a person seem sociable or charming, which can easily be mistaken as Fe dominant. However, tertiary Fe often has a calculating underside, more likely to treat people instrumentally as tools/objects for self-centered gain (due to higher Ti). Tertiary Fe is more likely to produce relationship failure and social discord (than dominant Fe).” He’s able to observe the environment around him and come to conclusions from time to time, showing his SeNi, like putting together that his mom had been driving Michael in “My Mother the Car”. I said he loops in Se-Fe because his logic (Ti) is very much absent like...constantly. His logic is very abstract and not based in facts like Michael (a total Te user) is. Inferior Ni also explains his need to stick to being a magician despite his total failure at it; lots of tunnel vision can happen with Ni. So, yes, I’d say ESTP.

Michael - This person said ISTJ, but I lean more towards ESTJ, if only for the fact that he’s not nearly as introverted/independent as he likes to believe (he needs the family as much as they need him) and the fact that it means he’d have inferior Fi (Introverted Feeling), explaining his “robotic” nature. Fi also explains why he has his own set of morals that, quite often, go against his family’s. It also definitely explains why he thinks he’s more moralistic than his family but really isn’t; the lower something is in your stack, the weaker it is, but you still might think you’re good at it. The Te-dom nature makes him very driven by facts and logic, and having Te-Ne makes him come up with dry, snarky comebacks. SJs have a rep for normally being pretty traditional due to Si, which isn’t always true, but it works in Michael’s case. I think a lot of his s4 behaviors are signs of inferior Fi/being in a Fi grip versus inferior Ne/being in a Ne grip. To quote mbti notes’ spotting guide on inferior Fi, “Their failures usually involve: being too aggressive and then getting severe pushback, taking on too much then suffering exhaustion, or being so focused on bottom line efficiency/results that they neglect other important things.” ESTJ.

Lindsay - She’s definitely an Fi user; she has her own morals and ethics that aren’t decided by her family, so she’s an FP or TJ. They said ESFP, but I might honestly lean more towards an ENFP. When she’s stressed out, she goes back to Tobias, and in s5a, they have her leave to find her “real” family, which indicates an inferior Si to me. But when she’s less stressed, she’s able to change her life around quite easily. She changes her focus a lot, including what size of a cause she’s on, and she’s very adaptable, normally a high Ne trait. And Lindsay having the same functions as Michael but in a different order really helps explain why they tend to get along well, I think. ENFP.

Buster - Buster is a hard one, god. He’s been robbed of so much of his adulthood that it’s hard to figure out his cognitive functions. Stereotypically, I think he fits as an ISFJ (Si-Fe-Ti-Ne). Si-doms are stereotyped as being very into routines, and Buster had trouble leaving his routines behind when Lucille was in jail. He craves approval of others, particularly his mom and his older siblings, which could indicate Fe, and higher Fe tends to make people warm and friendly, which is definitely a Buster trait. Through Ti he’s normally able to come up with some logical explanations, like figuring out Uncle Oscar is his dad, but he’s not too concerned with logic. His Ne is basically non-existent, since his growth has been so stunted. But, yeah, he likes things to stay the same and he’s a sweetheart, so I’d say ISFJ.

George Michael - Definitely an ISxJ, since when he’s stressed, he easily falls into the grip of Ne - spiraling anxiety. To, again, quote mbti notes, this time on inferior Ne, “Their failures usually involve: being too anxious or worried (catastrophizing), being overwhelmed by too much novelty or rapid change, or micromanaging situations (sometimes due to unwillingness to delegate).” I think I’d go with ISFJ because I think he has to have Fe in his stack; he’s very worried about keeping peace and harmony, and while Michael keeps the family together, GM is the one who actually wants the family to be together. Fe is often about togetherness. ISFJ.

Maeby - I definitely agree with the typing done on her as an ISTP. Her Ti-dom nature makes her very prone to being a bit rude and cynical, as well as independent and she can figure things out on her own. Inferior Fe pops up in her being unintentionally (or sometimes truly just intentionally) cool or rude to people around her. Hell, she purposefully tried to make GM feel bad for no reason. She’s definitely someone who lives in the moment (Se) and she’s able to get things to fall into place...most of the time. Definitely Se in her nature, so I could also see ESTP as well, but her Fe seems to be her biggest blind spot and she lashes out when she’s upset. And to quote mbti notes, “However, tertiary Ni often leads to very superficial judgment, more likely to carelessly dismiss deeper meaning or potential for growth (due to higher Se). Tertiary Ni is more likely to have a dejected or cynical attitude about what is possible in life (than dominant Ni).” Let’s not forget how she ended s4 by refusing to say she made a huge mistake. ISTP. 

Lucille - another tough one. I’m sure most people would put her as an ENTJ since that’s normally considered “the mastermind”, but I don’t know. I’ve always said the child most like her is Michael, so I could definitely see ESTJ. Te-Ne would explain how she’s able to think so quickly on her feet, both in regards to lying to people and with her insults. She’s definitely set in her ways, a definite Si related trait. Her active blind spot is definitely her morals, much like Michael, but she’s a bit better at hiding it since she is older. ESTJ.

Tobias - I think the person who typed on funkymbti did a good job with ENFP. From the mbtinotes on dom Ne/inferior Si “Their failures usually involve: not being able to prioritize the best ideas to pursue/develop, carelessness with details that leads to failure, or feeling restricted such that they cannot access inspiration/hope for long periods.” Ne explains his willingness to give up the career that he had for decades as well as how he’s willing to change what kind of performing he does. I’d say FiTe works because he’s not necessarily into harmonizing and he’s definitely devoted to what he thinks is right to him, not necessarily what people tell him to do, since he has no problem pursuing an acting career despite everyone telling him it’s a dumb idea. ENFP.

George - Eh, I do my best not to think about him lol. I actually 100% agree with this person’s reading on him and would definitely say he’s an ENTJ. His family are chess pieces to him, he’s always scheming, very much a Te-Ni trait. His inferior Fi makes him pity himself when he’s stuck in a bad situation. Yeah, I’ll stick with ENTJ. 

Tony - I’m not sure there’s really enough to work with for him at this point. I’m tempted to say INFJ, since that makes him Gob’s “mirror” type, meaning his has the functions in the opposite order of Gob (ESTP would be Se-Ti-Fe-Ni and INFJ is Ni-Fe-Ti-Se), and that’s supposed to make people a “perfect” match. But, since they’re same, maybe he’s an ESTP? Lol. Well, he definitely has a singular vision like a Ni-dom would, which is making it as a magician (contrasted to Gob’s inferior Ni that he always falls back on that one vision, Tony’s whole life is definitely magic). Again, from the mbti notes page, this time on inferior Se, “In low moments of weakness, they become very rash or extreme in behavior.” This could explain what we hope is just him faking his death (where are you s5b???). He claims he’s good at faking being gay and definitely has some manipulative, suave tendencies that could be an upper Fe trait. So, yeah, why not? INFJ.

I’ll also say the Steve Holt gives me ESFJ vibes (very sweet and warm, popular, goes with the flow, values family) and Ann Veal seems like an IxFP (guided by her own morals and ethics). I could definitely be wrong, though.
