Alright, now that William Gage is born who do we think is going to be the next Bates to announce and will it come this year or in the new year? I know there are rumors about Katie and it could be true but, I think Nathan and Esther are the best bet to announce by end of year. Although, I guess technically Jackson and Emerson could “surprise” us with a Christmas announcement. Since we know next to nothing about them I think they’re the true wildcard couple. I’m not even going to throw Lawson and Tiffany out there because I’m still annoyed by their announcement that took like a month and it turned out to be just new music
picking apart people's looks seems to be all most fundie subreddits do anymore. it's pretty... idk, disheartening.
Yea, I think a lot of people are attracted to "snark" communities bc it gives them an excuse to be more judgemental and crappy than they're allowed to be in every day life. And I'm not trying to sound high and mighty like I don't do some shit talking too lol but it's not the primary reason I follow so those people, for me it has more to do with the like, sociological aspect bc I just find religion and religious culture fascinating. Particularly evangelicals just since I was one and am still surrounded by them.
I've noticed people get kind of obsessed with the Bates in particular, probably because they're all just so online and it just fosters parasocial relationships. Some people in that Bates subreddit sound more like fans than snarkers, they just get so into who looks like who and the babies looks etc etc and that's honestly weird as hell of them too. I don't think their looks should be as big of a topic as they are in those communities.
i put on both my yaoi and my incest goggles before i consume any piece of media and this is why my textual analysis will always be more enlightened and factually correct than
ella wilson / steven levenson / metamaiden / pasek & paul / lana del rey / bates motel (image source: @sofialamb) / dear evan hansen / andrew barth feldman / @corpsecoded / lorde / ocean vuong / ethel cain / kira madden
So with Ryker now being born and Jackson’s wedding coming up in a few weeks, do you think we’ll get any more Bates pregnancy announcements or could we potentially be done for the year? I could see Esther and Nathan announcing soon-ish and Tori and Bobby are always a possibility
