In sally and poppy's character page it says "Sally and Poppy are often depicted together and, according to recovered material, could potentially be best friends."
and to that i say, best friends my ASS!!
those are lesbians right there
oooo i actually talked about this in the update stream when i was reading the updated bios! to restate!
a common Cover for lesbians used to be "best friends". why are those two women living together? why they're best friends, so why not! why do these women spend all their time together? they're best friends! why are those women so physically affectionate - well! they're best friends! an excuse that would never fly with gay men is perfect for lesbians.
and you still see this in recent years! remember all of the posts making fun of facebook moms / grandparents seeing photos of lesbians and going "well they seem like a lovely pair of Best Friends!" this still happens! i'm sure there are people today seeing lesbians and thinking that they're best friends. the amount of times i've pointed out to my own parents "they're gay" and gotten surprise and sometimes even denial is response because they genuinely thought these blatantly gay people were only friends
to me and my current knowledge, this addition to Poppy & Sally's bios is evidence worth considering with this context. a tally in the "canon Popstar?" box!
okay so they're telling this whole little history lore lesson about how there are demons that use the dungeon to like lure people with strong desires to feed off of them and become huge monsters. and they're capable of showing you a world where your desire comes true so you keep making more and more wishes.... like.. like the scene 8 seconds ago with laios and the winged lion. where he appeared in a dream and showed him a vision of his future where he has control of the dungeon..... am I. is that what I'm supposed to be gathering.
was talking about this in vc but i honestly think kieran’s arc is stronger without the possession angle. like, saying as someone who LOVES the possession trope usually, you gotta be careful about when you use it. i like that kieran nearly sabotages his relationships and life on his own and that he ruined his own chance to get close to ogerpon and that he spirals and spirals until terapagos forces him to look at the reality of his situation, and idk i feel like if he was just being puppeteered by pecharunt then it would have had significantly less weight cause now hes just being mind controlled, it’s not him it’s the puppet etc
at some point dealing with trauma stops feeling like painful and more just like stupid and annoying. like ugh c’mon man i’m emotionally wiser and more resilient now can’t we get over it already. we’re busy here and don’t have time to waste on the same old absolute nonsense. less like a knife in your heart and more like a ball and chain around your ankle
I'm going to preface this story by saying: I don't necessarily believe in karma, but
I may have been walking through today with a vague sense of disbelief tainted with unkind smugness after my tiktok fyp was flooded with poor fans who tried to get presale ticket to one mr n. kahan's new tour only to find that demand was through the roof and GA pit tickets were seriously going for $300, in presale, and even the "worst" tickets in the lawn were going for $70
and while I undoubtedly think it's deeply unethical for both platforms (thanks ticketmaster) and artists to allow such dramatic ticket cost inflation, I also generally don't relate...
I (VERY LUCKILY) gravitate towards smaller acts, and the most I've paid for a ticket all year has been, like... $90 for a ticket to beyonce, which got cancelled and I was refunded lol. if I look back at all my receipts from shows this year, most have been around $50/ticket after fees, and several have been closer to $20. my favorite show I've seen all year was a $15 ticket.
it's mostly luck—I tend to like smaller acts, and I've been seeing mainly rock acts this year, and those tickets simply don't run as high as pop acts. and part of me is honestly very grateful that I haven't been swept into any of the really recent huge acts.
I think of all the people scrabbling for boygenius or taylor swift tickets and how much money they've had to shell out... how a lot of them don't even GET to see the acts they want to see because they've been priced out or tickets sold out. I can't remember the last time a show I wanted to go to sold out lol. maybe bastille in london?
and again, it's just a matter of luck that I'm not really into any of these megastars and therefore don't have to compete in the gladiator arena to try to see shows I want to see, but sometimes luck manifests as a feeling of self-satisfaction, you know? who among us hasn't experienced a little self-superiority from time to time.
look, if YOUR tiktok was flooded with people saying concerts have been awful since 2021 (including rock and metal shows), but every concert YOU'VE been to since 2021 was amazing and the crowds were really good and you always got tickets and it never broke the bank, you'd feel pretty validated in your choice of musicians and the crowds they attract too, alright?? sue me! I felt frugal AND undeservedly clever!
anyways back to karma. guess who got invited and subsequently agreed to shell out $70 to sit in a lawn and listen to mr. n. kahan sing. I'll give you a hint, her tumblr username starts with an r and ends with an s
Even though I had covid before and was tipped off because it objectively didn’t feel like anything I’ve felt before, any time I feel slightly under the weather or more tired than usual or whatever I’m like ‘is it covid 😬’
Olli and Aleksi being horny and sexually frustrated on tour and when they finally get a night in a hotel (obviously sharing the room) one of them (why is it Olli) just thinks fuck it and decides to jerk off right there after they’ve both gone to bed and of course Aleksi soon catches up what’s going on and gets sooo turned on so he also thinks fuck it and soon they’re jerking off together 😇 oh and of course they are also both cowards and don’t dare to do anything more 🤧
aaaaaaahhhdhggfgf this is so good 🥵😩 and why can I actually kinda see this happening 🫣 yeah, maybe they are too cowardly to do anything more than that, but they definitely think about their mutual masturbation sessions (because yes it's not just one time) when they're alone and feeling horny again 😭
thanks for this 🫠 hope you're having a lovely and horny Valentine's Day!! 💝
