Guess the last version of this post got nuked from orbit 😮‍💨 I’m not rewriting all that context just know that I went to Texas, ate a ton of food, and saved a horse 🤠

#by riding a cowboy if your mind didn’t autofinish that sentence #the way I autofinished that man’s balls into my ass 😏 damn that story was so hot too #the punchline to that story was that I fucked that guy so good he was speechless and rediscovered his love for topping #so basically I was ​like the ghosts of Christmas teaching ebenezer Scrooge the true meaning of Christmas #except we celebrated a different kinda white Christmas since it was March in Texas 👅 #the whole thing was hot but the moment that keeps replaying in my head was when we were making out on the bed #and he put me in missionary and slapped his dick on my hole before leaning forward to kiss me while I wrapped my legs around him #and after a nice hard long kiss he pulled away and looked me dead in the eyes and said “delicious” #I know I was already naked and seconds away from taking him balls deep inside me but ummmmm panty dropper #gpoy #gpoyb

I'd like to have sex with Leatherface every night, it doesn't matter if his mom (from TCM 2022) ends up listening to us. I'd use straps and handcuffs on that big guy. 😍 😈 👉👈

#notsafe #confession #Leatherface #The Texas Chainsaw Massacre #Texas Chainsaw Massacre #tcm #tcm 2022 #Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022 #slashers #slasher fucker #We... don't actually know the name of this Leatherface do we? He doesn't fit into any known continuity where he is named... ❔ #I mean many call the 1974 Leatherface Bubba because the most fandom popular timeline calls him that (as he's named in TCM2) #But *technically* he doesn't have a name in TCM1974 and this one is I guess spawned from that one but he's still not named here? 🤔 #I don't really understand the continuity at all for this movie ngl. He knows the Sawyer house but like who was Ginny??? I'm not sure #ANYWAY UH he's super physical in this movie! Shockingly so! It's probably best you be the rough one cuz the man is strong af!💪

The thought of Amelia/Alfred declaring independence and then being immediately thrust into parenthood appeals to me. Imagine if you will shortly after the Revolution the emergence of State Personifications coming about with each admission to the Union (Delaware was the first one). Whether they appear miraculously or are birthed via (unwilling) parthenogenesis (which I prefer) the bottom line is that suddenly America has all these kids to take care of, all of who grow up just as fast as America did. Regardless of how they came to be or how fast they grow, America loves them with his/her whole being and creates a system in which they are always protected and accounted for by the larger government. America promises to be there for them the way England never was.

Then fast forward to the Civil War, and America is waging a bloody war against half of her/his children that see hundreds of thousands of their people dead. Brother against brother, father against son, cousin against cousin. And each secession feels like a small death because they are part of America just as much as America is a part of them, practically inseparable, or at least America thought so. To add even more complexity, not all of America's children were white or white-passing. America being neglected because s/he was to far away or denied certain rights for not being British enough was bad on its own, but imagine your parent not being able to claim you or fully protect you or give you basic human rights without public/social/political backlash because your skin is darker and you're legal property in half the country. Or imagine having powerful politicians who want to keep people who look like your children in bondage and you have to compromise with them to keep the Union whole, knowing the opinions they would have if they even knew you had children who were black (some of them do know and make sure their opinions are known). Or your other children starting a war to selfishly keep this system in place at the expense of their black siblings. The relationship between America and his/her children, with America acting as both the federal government that protects the states as well as the greater whole that represents the Union and the states as the children, each an extension of America, an integral part of America's being, pushing back against the sometimes overbearing hovering of their parent, impeding on states rights (whether they believe America is in the right or not) and protecting others and sometimes America will helplessly throw his/her hands in the air and say "fine, ill let YOU decide on this issue because I am not a dictator, despite what some of you like to think, but if you fuck up im stepping in" because America doesn't want to make the same mistakes England made in the past but then America has to deal with the negative consequences of her/his children's actions when they do something unbelievably stupid while trying not to seem like a fire-breathing tyrant. Which, they end up thinking anyway, regardless if America wasn't entirely in the wrong about butting in and taking hold of the situation before it escalated. The negative reaction only serves to make America step away AGAIN so as to not seem completely authoritarian in their eyes. It's a never-ending cycle. Not to mention the complex relationships the states have with each other, especially the southern states among themselves and the southern vs northern states rivalry.

Edit:

also whenever America takes his/her eyes off the states for 1mili second to see what the rest of the world is up to (hopefully not another world war) while usually being like 'back off, geeze! 🤬' America's children immediately switch to 'how come you're not paying attention to ME instead 🥺 you always focus on the world instead of ME 😢'

#i have a lot of thoughts about the states #hetalia #aph america #aph states #hetalia civil war #i can only imagine Thanksgiving at the Jones family estate 😭 #also America having a family outside Arthur and Matt is really makes sense to me #why else would America be so absorbed with itself if not because of its over dramatic children known as the states??? #not even England and Canada and the entire world can draw America's attention away from them #and if for a moment America steps away to bang a few heads together America immediately steps right back to hover over its children #like an overprotective mama eagle #and America totally doesn't have favorites!!! (its New York California Louisiana Florida the Man and Texas the Problem Child in that order) #the other states obviously know the main favs are NY CA FL and TX but they're always surprised when they realize its also Louisiana #and that's because Louisiana reminds America of France with its unique and charming American Franco hybrid culture #also as the years go by America begins to understand a few things about England a LOT more #still feels s/he does the parenting thing better (debatable but not entirely unfounded)

Civil War (2024) is a mechanically good film but the commitment to not stoking real world political tensions in a movie about the potential consequences of those tensions leaves a gaping hole in its worldbuilding and reduces its impact to just. a series of melodramatic images of “what if the bad war happened here”. completely declawing any potential impact it could have had for the sake of not being controversial

#literally saw an interview where they were talking about the shot where the lincoln memorial was blown up s #with the host saying jokingly that the message was ‘don’t blow up the lincoln memorial’ bd the director LAUGHED #and that just summarizes the whole movie #like yeah it’s a joke but the commitment to not explaining WHY there was a secession movement and WHY everyone was divided meant it really i #is just a toothless ‘don’t make the country at war 🙂 because then all those scary war crimes we see in other countries would happen here. #wouldn’t it be scary if someone bombed the white house :0’ #text✨ #like the moment i heard that the main conceit was texas and california teamed up bc the writer/director didn’t want to make the conflict #‘too real’ i knew it would be lackluster. dude you clearly do not understand the cultural divide there. #AND THE FLAG????? BOTH THOSE STATES ARE TOO OBSESSED WITH THIER OWN FLAGS AND HOSTORY AS FORMERLY INDPENDENT REPUBLICA #THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE A SINGLE FLAG let alone one as boring as that. it shows that the dude is not from here #for this kind of political commentary you need to understand the cultural context and history to our politics not just the recent years of #ooooooo political division scary :( #:/ idk man. the character parts were good but the message is nonexistent bc they didn’t want to do the one thing political movies should do

okay now I'm thinking about Johnny being from the south

I don't believe it for a second BUT can you imagine? he grows up in a small town, nothing to do. he sees movie stars on TV and points and wants to be just like them! he wants to see the city lights and the people. he wants to walk the red carpet. he wants everyone to know his name. his mama is home from a long shift and she just smiles and shakes her head because he's so ambitious for his age

and then he grows up and learns how to mask his southern drawl and he acts in the school play and no one sees the vision that he does because no one has dreams like his, not in his eyes. no one gets it. he needs to get out and see everything! the world! he has to see it all since he's already seen every inch of his hometown

being southern is likely some sort of trivia information that some fans find out and are shocked to discover. he doesn't talk about it that much. when he actually lets his accent show, people are surprised

#johnny cage #mortal kombat 1 #mortal kombat #mine #i got carried away y'all my bad #anyway. southern johnny? maybe? #for me......... #realistically his type is likely southern women since sonya is from texas hshjsdbfj #thank u to bisexualjohnnycage for pointing that out #(totally forgot JHHJSDJFS) #and look man i get it #as a southern lesbian southern women are so <3 i get it #can we also consider the possibility of johnny knowing how to line dance #it would be really funny #anyway

The difficult thing about openly blogging about healing and going through a long period of growth publicly is the feeling of “I’m not doing super great, and it’s worse than it has been before” springs to mind, but for the X number of times you’ve said it in the past, it feels more trivial. And maybe that’s a sign that things have always been an up and down sort of pattern, and that it will pass again, but maybe it also serves to feel more isolating in not having the words or energy anymore to describe how it is *this* time. And it is a position that changes day to day, and on better days it feels more passable, and on worse the void feels more vast. The mere fact that it changes is probably a good sign, that nothing ever has to be set in stone. But boy are some days so, so dreadful.

#I guess a measure would be this feels like pre-move out times right now #when I was (physically) in a bad and unsafe place #and moving out has had its own stressors and anxieties #but the dread I feel is very reminiscent of another older time before then #I recently visited Texas with Spider and Sarah and Doc #we stayed at my parent’s place so it was definitely a mixed bag #I wish I wasn’t so messed up after every visit there #I thought it’d be better or easier with company after this time #but due to a variety of factors I’ve left the experience more tattered than I’d like #they had fun and it wasn’t a bad trip #but it wasn’t a great trip for me personally for loaded reasons #Spider knows to check in on me more in the coming days and weeks so that is good #FUCK man also I love this new song that came out but I CANNOT listen to it anymore and had to remove it from my playlist #because I kind of associate it with the trip now and it makes me cry every time I hear it haha #second song I ever had to do that with!! #I’m okay #just so very tired.

I think some of the arguments about fan interpretations of characters and OOCness forget a fundamental part of human nature which is this: each of us perceives the world and the people in it in slightly different ways based on our own experiences.

Most people have certain characteristics they consider fundamental to their Blorbo and some characteristics that are less important and could be changed, ignored, or scrapped for AU purposes. Unfortunately, which specific characteristics fall into which category are not going to be the same from person to person. Sometimes the overlap between two people's interpretations will be huge, and those two people will probably enjoy the same fan content. Sometimes not so much.

Personally, I write for a ship that were childhood friends that became lovers. In many AUs, people have them meeting for the first time in adulthood, and for me, that changes the nature of the ship and their characters so much that I can't really get into it. I consider their childhood friendship fundamental to them as people, and those authors don't. Which is fine. Many other people like those AUs. Nobody here is really in the wrong, we just have different opinions on what makes these particular Blorbos them.

In almost all cases, someone out there will find your interpretation of a character OOC. And that's fine. Hopefully they are polite and simply choose not to read your fics/engage with your HCs/whatever. But I think all of us have had the experience of reading a wildly OOC take and seeing other people enthusiastically going along with this "wrong" interpretation of the characters and thinking, "What??!?!"

It's fine. It's normal. It's annoying as hell (people are wrong on the internet), but it's inevitable. And if you find that interpretation particularly heinous to your Blorbo sensibilities, the block button is your friend.

#fandom #fanfic #idk I saw that one post where someone compares like #some people saying chess is beating each other with sticks and it's normal for someone who likes actual chess to be disappointed #as an analogy for bad fandom takes and like... nah man #tons of games have different rules and that doesn't make the game wrong #like maybe you thought all poker was just texas holdem and someone comes along playing five card draw #you are both right they are both poker but you are coming from different life experiences to expect what poker is #characters are so much more complex than games with rules #what speaks to me about a character might not be what speaks to you and this will affect what we focus on/exaggerate/emphasize in ourfanwor #like yeah obviously some people are stone cold wrong BUT it is our burden to bear the weight of knowing and understanding their wrongness #I see new authors freaking out about like what if I'm OOC!!!!!! #and it's like... eh you will always be ooc to some goober out there go have fun #will never forget that one post with like over a thousand notes about how Fenris doesn't use contractions in speech #it was just... provably untrue #posts I expect no one to read lol

devastating: the feminist essay didnt actually watch the movie

#read 2 essays abt paris texas because i was trying to understand the argument against it #post answers any questions u may have abt the essays #its not a feminist film no but it is in fact far from misogynistic. huzzah #the main problem is people watch it and go 'what the fuck this man is so shitty why are we supposed to agree with him' when the movie tells #you many times that you are not supposed to agree with him #also both of them said we are 'manipulated into empathising with him' which is how all stories work #you are told how to feel about a character through contexts theyre shown in. this is how you tell a story #and if its a good story they dont point at it and say 'this one was bad' they let you decipher that for urself #spoilers (u should watch it its a Great movie) but ur not supposed to think hunter going back to mum is good. they tell you this twice #explicitly through the women of the film. (the french lady so afraid of losing him and loves him so much. and the og mum finally able to #move on from the horrific life experiences she had from aged 17-18 told through her monologue. like come on. watch the movie)
