Being ace can be pretty isolating at various times, for varying reasons that I don't feel like I have to explain because if you are ace, you probably get it.
Here’s the thing that makes no sense about the Louis hates One Direction narrative that solos try to purport: Not does Louis include two 1D songs in his setlist when he now has a catalog that could easily fill a setlist without them, but he sat down with his music director and REARRANGED THEM to fit his solo style, from the vocals to the instrumentals.
That takes a lot of thought and effort like those arrangements of Night Changes and WDBHG just didn’t appear, you know? And while Night Changes was a single known to the general public, WDBHG was not. That was Louis thoughtfully looking at their catalog and being like this one (not even written by him) is a banger. I want it in my show.
No amount of wearing or not wearing a hat will change that, especially when it’s not in his show style to put things on, ESPECIALLY when we ALL KNOW how vain he is when it comes to his hair.
The girls survived their first day and night outside of the vault, with only a few tears shed. I forgot I gave their house the stray cat lot trait, and it almost gave me them a heart attack when the door opened in the middle of the night to start the steady flow of kitties.
I’ve had the No Zzz’s mod for years but took it out with the infant patch and then forgot about it. Was kind of cute to see the Z’s again after so long :)
I wonder how many people before us have been in relationships that challenge the definitions of friendship and romance. It’s something that’s becoming more popular in my generation, but only on a... personal level. It’s more frequent, but it’s still a niche. I learned about other possibilities from my friends and from the internet, but it’s still not in mainstream media. Not in movies, in series, in books. It never was. I’m slowly discovering how freeing it is to live relationships outside of set boxes, and it’s something I’m discovering by myself. Partly because I have friends in open relationships and QPRs... and partly by just thinking “screw it, I might as well listen to what I want regardless of the rules, and see where it takes me”. Maybe it would have taken me longer without the help of the internet and other people’s experiences, but maybe I still would have found that freedom just by listening to myself. Someone must have done it first, right?
So I’m thinking... how many other people before me did that? How many, before they’d ever heard it was possible, built relationships outside of the norm? How many decided to ask out their crush who was already in a couple, and all three made it work? How many made out with their friends in a completely platonic way? How many raised families together with someone they had a deep affection for but no romantic love, and both knew it and were content with it?
How many people discovered the freedom of just listening to their wants and needs, without following the rules? How many people quietly challenged the established definitions of relationships, that we never heard about? Because they’re not chronicled in stories, because we only ever write about the romantic love interest, the best friend, the confidante. But there’s so much more complexity to human relationships, I cannot believe we’re just now starting to explore it. Others before us must have built something different, and thought that they were alone, that they were pioneers. I wish I could know about them, I wish more people today could now that something else is possible.
Racist motherfuckers can’t be reasoned with because to be anti-racist you have to be open to learning that you are the problem. The only way to help someone stop being racist is to get them to understand, not that they are being harmful, but that they’re too weak and stupid to be right in their beliefs and that their feelings are indicators of that. In order to do that isn’t to tear them down with verbal violence of aggression but to show it to them so gently they think they found it on their own.
why do people say that they’ve ruined mike and will relashionship? i don’t write this as an hater I’m genuinely asking why do you think that? mike cares about will,he solved their fights with him ?? right??
I'm not gonna analyse it too much.
Mike said that his life started the day he met El, because apparently nothing else is important. And of course, that time, Will was in the UD. That doesn't scream like caring about Will to me.
How did their fights get resolved? Mike has been an asshole to Will in s3 & in 4x02 and never really apologised for it, nor his behaviour was explained. Yeah, he wanted to apologise after their fight in s3, but he didn't actually get to do it, nor would that explain why he had been ignoring him the entire summer. They never explained why he didn't hug him at the airport either. If Will wanted to keep his distance from Mike (that's why he wasn't reaching out more), Mike doesn't know why. Will doesn't know why Mike didn't reach out as much as he did with El. Nothing is resolved
The painting could have been easily used only to cheer Mike up. Like here have a painting from me! It didn't have to be about El.
They had 0 interactions that didn't involve Mike's relationship with El
Mike's entire personality doesn't seem to be anything beyond being El's boyfriend. I mean, how did that character develop? What has changed? Now he can say he loves El when she's in danger and that he thinks she's a superhero? That he still worries of pursuing his own interests because he's just a nerd and El might not like that?
unfortunately i Do feel better when i clean my living space and eat enough fruits and veggies and go outside and generally remember i am a mammal :| real pity that knowing this does not make it easier to do those things
The girls found some slightly worn but more suitable, non vault-issued clothing in CAS after rummaging through their new place. Megan gave herself a sloppy haircut. It keeps raining on them, but they are looking like real cutie survivalists. ♥
