thinking thoughts about Billy and Max's relationship - specifically that Max needs as much of a sibling character growth arc as Billy does.

I've seen lots of fics examine the siblings' relationship and have Max's view on Billy suddenly shift once she finds out about Neil's abuse. Max develop a sudden well of empathy and understanding for Billy once she learns that his dad beats him. and honestly I enjoy that characterization and it's very much my cup of tea - but it's not what I expect from their canon portayals. I don't think Max would see the abuse in the same light as we do.

I've heard that Runaway Max makes it canon that Max knows - has literally watched - Neil beat Billy. and gone on the next day still hating him, and maybe even believing that Billy deserves it. that, horrifying as it is, seems a lot more realistic to me.

bear with me here: a story about me and my younger sibling to give perspective into my point about Billy and Max.

I've got a little brother. our family has lots of problems, but our relationship was never great as kids just cuz I didn't want anything to do with him. both of our parents are youngest siblings and I've been getting sat down for talks since I was a toddler about how he deserved a nice older sibling, and I ought to share all my toys with him and play with him whenever he wanted and be his best friend because that's all they ever wanted from their older siblings. and I resented that. I hated the unfairness of me being expected to cater to him because I was arbitrarily older.

so I wasn't particularly cruel, but I was certainly rude, and I did everything I could to make it clear that I didn't want anything to do with him. and he would go straight to our mom and say I was being mean - and I would get beaten, or lose meal privileges for a few days, or have everything taken out of my room and locked in there for a day or two.

I was in some kind of trouble all the way into middle school, and it made me really, really angry because I had never asked for a sibling. I wasn't mean, I didn't mess with his stuff, I didn't have problems with anyone else outside of the house. but because I was the older sibling, he got to hold all the cards and I could be nursing bruised ribs for weeks because he felt like telling our parents I refused to play lightsabers with him.

but as I headed into highschool he got a gang of friends and was happy to spend his time off with them, so he left me alone for the most part. I still wanted nothing to do with him but it was finally mutual, and I mostly got a break.

here is where it ties into Billy and Max.

when he was twelve, we started going to this little hick cowboy church. I had always been a people person and super popular with adults and peers alike, but I was also super into literature at that stage of life and developing some nasty mobility disabilities, and I started being bullied very badly by the people there for wanting to hang inside and read instead of playing football, volleyball, etc. outside with them. they were VERY hick, man. demonize higher education, a man is out in the field, a woman is in the kitchen, hick.

and that became a very, very regular occurrence.

and one day at home, he waltzed into my room and started telling me at length how I was worthless and no one liked me or wanted me around and I should do everyone a favor and just disappear.

people love my brother, man. they did then, they do now. he works full time with kids, mentoring them and shit. he's good at it. he's not necessarily nice, he's always had a caustic brand of humor, but it's the kind people find hilarious. hell I find it hilarious. it's a lot like Max's in the show.

and you know what? when our mom dragged us to a dinner together years later, as adults, and whined about why we weren't close, I brought up the period in our lives where I was extremely suicidal (I attempted multiple times around then and they are well aware) and all the remarks he'd make. I pointed out that he'd never given me any form of apology, nor had he ever made an effort to build a relationship with me, so I saw no reason to reach out to him.

and he looked me dead in the eye and said he wasn't sorry, and it was my fault if I'd been that bothered by what he said.

that kid was raised from infancy being told that he had every right to demand my time and attention and walk past my boundaries. that kid heard from his friends that it sucked he was stuck with a loser for an older sibling. that kid saw every beating I took and every suicide attempt I made and all the health complications I have from childhood malnutrition and mistreatment as my own fault for not being a better older sibling - because that's what everyone fucking told him his whole life.

so. Max Mayfield.

I wanted to share all this with ye peeps of Tumblr because it seems like a lot of people have genuinely never come across a situation like I grew up in. that it isn't a perspective that's easy for other people to slide into.

most of what we know about Billy comes from Max's perspective of Billy. and where does Max's perspective of Billy come from?

consider every time she hears Neil tell him to be responsible. that he's wasting his life going to parties. that his music is trash. to be a real man. to show some respect.

we know that there's nothing wrong with metal music and teenagers party and that Neil's version of respect and responsibility is toxic as hell - but Max doesn't necessarily. Max knows that her new older brother is rude and always getting in trouble. Max knows that her parents say he should be nice to her and spend time with her and give her things and he doesn't.

we learned about Billy's abuse and saw him in a new light because we know there is nothing that warrants a minor being beaten. and we know the psychological impact being raised like that can have. and we can imagine how Billy could be if he was given a safe, healthy environment instead of the horror of a homelife he has in the show.

but as a kid in that household in the 1980s, Max doesn't. Max hears from her dad that Billy deserves it and sees from her mom that it's fine and hears from her friends that Billy is the worst.

and I just don't see Max realizing that it's horrible that Neil beats Billy. I see her doing things that'll get him in trouble anyway and thinking that he's an asshole so he probably deserves it.

and after the nailbat to the nuts, I think Billy backing off and their relationship stabilizing has less to do with him being scared of Max and more to do with her finally being willing to keep up her end of the status quo of completely ignoring each other, now that she has friends to fill her time with.

and most importantly - I don't think this makes Max an awful person. I think she's a product of her environment and I think she's a kid so she has very little control over that environment.

I think we, the fandom, like to go with the easy answer that of course Max's view of Billy will change once she learns of Neil's abuse because we don't want to think of Max as being the little sibling who will tell you to kill yourself and stand by it years later. she can say "sometimes I wished he was dead" and that's okay because she regrets it now, but I'm suggesting that if Billy hadn't died, Max wouldn't have regretted it.

and I think Max both needs and deserves a character arc of recognizing that her parents were wrong and their treatment of Billy wasn't okay and that she was wrong and her treatment of Billy wasn't okay, either.

I'm not blaming Max. I don't blame my little brother. when you're a kid and you have fucked up parents, you end up where you end up. but then, you have the chance and the responsibility to learn better and do better. and we explore that with Billy all the time, but to get Max from Point A to Point B, she has to go through all that too.

Billy hurt Max, but Max hurt Billy too. they were both kids. they both have to learn better.

#billy hargrove #max mayfield #stranger things #billy & max #haha thx for coming to me ted talk 😅

Axl Rose’s outfit during Milano concert because I said so

Will someone care about it? No

Will I still post it? Yes, my blog, my rules.

I wish I have the same dedication as this man has with changing his outfits every two songs and look great in them. Disclaimer : quality of the photos aren’t going to be the best, so bear with me

Black shirt + jeans : Classic outfit but it never disappoints. He just looks cool in it, I can’t explain. He had different shirts with different logos so I just picked up one.

White vest look : Now I think they are slightly different but I will put them together. Jeords told me he worn a white vest at his concert and I was like “you better do it in Milan too, sir.” AND HE DID. Look at him! 2000s Axl all over again but without the hideous cornrows (srry bby). Love love this.

Open shirt (aka the death of me) : THIS OUTFIT, THIS FUCKING OUTFIT. I don’t know what happened but boom I was dead. FUCK AAAAA, I will be so incoherent with this because I just can’t, he’s just so hot and this is my thrist post so I get to scream about the old men. Next time show the belly, coward! <3

Ukraine flag shirt : There was a Ukraine flag on stage too. This was suring Civil War and it just felt hit so close. I felt so privileged being there, looking at them while people are suffering somewhere else. If you know the lyrics, you know how much it applies now as he did in the 90s, unfortunately. Sending my good vibes to all the people suffering, I’m sorry we are doing so little for you.

Hat+ cross: Axl is really in tune with his 2000s look and this is another big classic. Save a horse and ride this cowboy. Honorable mention to Duff making this photo even better because he deserves all the love, you big hot giraffe <3.

Cowboy Axl strikes again: The jacket adds something and makes it even hotter. If I remember correctly this should be the November Rain outfit but tbh during that song I was crying so hard, I could only focus on the song. I’m just speechless because he is an old man but he is my old man. Yes yes to all of this.

Silver jacket: Jackets were really the theme but I’m so glad of that because he is out here to kill us. The rolled up sleeves that shows the bracelets and wrist tattoo just adds even more. *Chef kiss*

Last outfit, the dressing gown ( is that the right term? Lol bilingual struggles) : This was right at the end so mixed emotions because he looks fine as hell but also the concert was over. But what can I say more than a perfect way to end it? Thank you Axl.

So thank you for bearing with me. If you want hear me rumble some more I can continue with some band moments <3. I promise I will shut up about it ahhah

I have a lot of thoughts about the GTA VI trailer and idk where to put them bc I didn’t like GTA V enough to really engage in fandom but I also want to avoid any more speculation or leaks about the game bc I want to go in as blind as possible when get to play it two years from now (help lol). Most of my comparison points are based off of the red dead franchise bc I’ve only played GTA V out of all of those games BUT

I am (perhaps naïvely) optimistic that the story will be more emotionally meaningful than GTA V’s was, and a lot of that stems from the first trailer centering Lucia. Rockstar’s first female protagonist!! And what little we’ve seen about her shows a lot of potential for her to be well developed just as John and Arthur were (not that the GTA V protags weren’t well developed, but none of them resonated with me on a personal level the way so many RDR characters did and do to this day)

From the short glimpse we’ve seen, we know Lucia is someone who’s made mistakes due to her circumstances and has the potential to be a multifaceted character. We know she has a partner that she loves (James?), and we know that their relationship is a central component of this game - similar to red dead’s honor system - assuming that the leaks about that are correct. If we can assume that decisions around their relationship will be central to the plot’s direction and will affect the overall outcome of the story, I am so, so excited to see that in action because there is MASSIVE potential for that story to be exciting and emotionally compelling all at once.

The other thing that really excites me about this game is that it seems like they’ve really leaned into the realism and building an amazing open world the same way they did for RDR2. I haven’t played the older games with Vice City so I don’t have a frame of reference, but the shots they shared looked GORGEOUS and we know from the RDR2 trailers that we can expect the actual gameplay to look like that. I especially love that we can practically feel the footprint of RDR2’s world beneath it - they are two very different parts of the world and two totally different time periods, but that sky?? That’s the same sky and it’s just as gorgeous as it was in West Elizabeth. There are multiple shots of the Everglades (it reminded me of Bayou Nwa!!), and the ocean, and other wilderness outside of the city and I really strongly hope we get a lot of potential for exploration in those areas. Yes the city is obviously the main stage, but I am hoping for a wide world to explore beyond that (rockstar please let us have a horse in this game i am begging you on my hands and knees)

Like I said GTA V never emotionally resonated with me, and I very nearly didn’t give RDR2 a chance because until playing it I assumed it was “cowboy GTA”, so I’m very intrigued that this game seems to have some essence of what made RDR2 special built into it and I hope that future previews continue to support that. Given that we’re not likely to get another red dead installment (and that even if we did it would be probably 10-15 years away at minimum ough) I’m absolutely dying for something new that can fill that same void that only RDR2 can fill and I’m really hoping that they chose to give the story the attention it deserves with such a promising world to tell it in.

#cm rambles #gta 6 #gta 6 speculation #basically: i want this game to make me cry so har di hyperventilate again. ik that’s not waht gta is about but i’m so so hopeful about them #taking what they learned from rdr2 about storytelling and give this that same care and nuance #i havent played gtav in ages but i need to take a look at it and see if i get the same feeling from that open world as i did rdr1 #bc i don’t think gtav to rdr2 is a fair comparison but rdr1’s world was also pretty impressive despite the age of the game #i need to look at los santos with that in mind #can you tell i can’t sleep tonight? jejdksskks #jfc ignore my typos im not retyping all that lol

hi just read your story about meeting mac saturn. i met them at their show in seattle when they were opening for dirty honey. literally nicest people ever. you can tell right away they care so much for their fans and are so grateful. we were the only people at that concert that knew mac saturn so they were happy that we helped them get everyone into the performance. they talked to me and my friends for so long and were genuinely interested in what we had to say. i had given carson a pair of rhinestone handcuffs while he was on stage and he danced around with them. when we were talking to mike at the merch stand carson walked up the stairs and immediately locked eyes with me and strolled right up and threw his arm around my shoulders and hugged me and just casually joined our conversation. nick was engaged in the conversation i had with him, asking my name, if i enjoyed the set, etc. angelo was purposely photobombing all our pictures too. i only talked to jive briefly he didn’t really seem interested idk if he just wasn’t having a good night or something. my friends and i wore light up cowboy hats and they all signed them and mike made a lil design on the front that says “mac saturn” and a lil squiggly and below it says “boogie babes” bc thats what me and my friends call ourselves. mac saturn deserves all the love and for anyone who hasn’t seen them i highly recommend catching one of their shows. they put on a fantastic show. im so glad that you got to meet them and had a good time regardless of those girls. ive only ever heard great experiences about mac saturn

YES YES YES

all of them are so sweet. Again, Jive didn’t seem very interested. He kinda just took a picture and signed our sheets and didn’t really seem like he wanted to hold a conversation. Which I totally get how overwhelming it can be so I just wished him a goodnight.

By the time I left, they were packing up their van so I just wished them a good night and good luck. Mike and Carson both blew kisses and also wished me safe travels. Angelo shouted at me to use my phone navigation because I told him I just drove around until I found the club, which was true. Even though it had only been thirty or so minutes since our conversation, the fact that they remembered the details of our conversation and my name was really endearing.

part three of my playlist analysis!!

part 1 <- part 2 <- back into the pit we go!!

therese - maya hawke kipps?? trying to rizz up lucy?? lockwood thinks not he comes to the rescue 'therese does not belong to you/the horses, cars, and cowboys do' type beat (ps ik what the song is about its for locklyle purposes)

youre somebody else - flora cash imagine how different norrie would be if she came back :) atlantis - seafret oh my god lucy is losing her SHIT after a more intense case where lockwood almost died (again) and they had gotten in a fight just before he put himself in immediate danger and shes just sitting on her bed thinking about it and how if he died the last words she said to him wouldve been harmful. shootout - izzamuzzic eepy vibes after a talk that lasted late into the night. apocalypse - cigarettes after sex this is self explanatory methinks?. tried - beabadoobe hes so tired of living. he just wants to rest [read as: die] lucy said no. they talk for hours one day, george is also there chiming in at appropriate times, they all fall asleep on lockwoods bed and lucy wakes up before the rest of them to make tea and brings it back to the room and they talk more :). telephone - waterparks au where lucy was on fittes team before joining lockwood and co and theyre btoh just watching eachother from afar for a bit <33. cough it out - the front bottoms the repeated 'i am delusional with love' is so both of them :( they both think the other one doesnt like them back. headache - rigby this could be both lockwood and lucy feeling like theyre weighing the other/the team down. it fits very well with either of them. god must hate me - catie turner very much stemming from lucy's in depth descriptions of her insecurities in the books, especially about "not being as pretty as other girls". (this doesnt relate to the song but the fact that we're outside of her head for the show is so nice because we can see that lockwood has literally been head over heels for her since the beginning and he loves her just the way she is). fool - frankie cosmos lockwood feels like he'll never be able to have her. he thinks shes to good for him :(. haunt me 3x - teen suicide lockwood braiding lucys hair after a panic attack, it helps him feel grounded <33 (im so unoriginal im sorry). listen before i go - billie eilish im not even gonna explain this one. figure it out. your hint is: lockwood. anyone else but you - the moldy peaches theyre so perfect for eachother. they dont even think other people are attractive because theyre so engulfed in their love for one another. i want what they have. funny you should ask - the front bottoms the in between stage before they where together and lockwood is. being angsty as usual. style - taylor swift THEY NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE!!!!! back to the old house 2011 remaster - the smiths lucy talking about the town she grew up in, telling lockwood about her mom, about her friends, more about norrie, about everyone else. shes crying, hes crying, george is crying. theyre all crying and drinking tea. leni (crystal castles vs goodbooks) - goodbooks, crystal castles mmm yes i sense yet another lucy panic attack in the shower after a rough job where lockwood put himself in direct danger once again. iris - the goo goo dolls oh my GODDD ITS SO LOCKWOOD 'id give up forever to touch you' WITH HIS LITTLE 'forever is composed of nows' ON THE THINKING CLOTH PLEASE LUCY MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM. brazil - declan mckenna them being Teenagers TM beach episode edition just imagine them all playing in the water at a nice beach on vacation (obv they arent still in the uk bc their beaches are Sad but like they went somewhere with nice beaches for a well deserved vacation. does london fall to shit without them? probably!! do they care? no!!). jesus this is such a ridiculously long series i am so so sorry go to part 4!!

On Izzy Hands and Old Movies

I really have to hand it to OFMD and probably also my own neurodivergent brain that needs to connect everything to each other, like a Pepe Silvia bulletin board –

In analyzing the sort of “filmbro masculinity” I saw in Izzy, I’m now finding myself contributing, in my own way, to “queering the filmbro” and that’s led to me understanding not just my gender, but how movie genres can be played with, subverted, and reworked because hey, we’re not in the 40s anymore, we don’t need to censor ourselves. With Izzy, the sort of Hays Code-era subtext he uses is the closest thing he’ll get to actual text and that speaks volumes in a show made in 2022 that is out and proud.

I’ve seen Tweets from David Jenkins where he mentions films that inspired his own writing, like Heat and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and it’s like hey! I should check these out not just because they’re part of OFMD’s DNA, but because these are also explorations into masculinity that might impact my own writing. I want to make subtext actual text, because the Izzys throughout cinematic history deserve it, man.

My personal happy place is neo-noir (Reservoir Dogs, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, what have you) but now I’m exposing myself to buddy movies from the “New Hollywood” era of filmmaking, back in the 60s and 70s. (Mean Streets is both a crime and buddy movie so it was a good one for me to start with). This is a traditionally homoerotic genre but somehow they’re always ending in tragedy – haven’t seen Butch & Sundance yet, but I did watch Midnight Cowboy for the first time yesterday and it was incredible and depressing and absolutely WILD that it won Best Picture back in 1969 given its subject matter. (For Izzy fans, Con O’Neill starred in a stage play version of Midnight Cowboy, as Rico Rizzo.)

There’s been some talk lately about “filmbros” being anyone who watches things outside of major franchises – this has been applying to international film but I think it probably also applies to the older stuff, too. Obviously not everything made in the 60s and 70s is going to have aged well, but that doesn’t mean they’re not important. Not to get all irritating and pretentious but these movies don’t spoon feed you, don’t set you up to follow heroic or even likeable characters, but they have a lot to say about society and (especially in the 60s/70s) capitalism and what it does to people. I love speculative fiction, always have always will, but I think there is something to be said about films that follow everymen just trying to make it.

I don’t know, I just think it’s neat how I started out trying to crack a character in a fun TV show and am now trying to give myself a crash course in buddy movies, who’d have thought I’d end up here?

the kaiba grand prix lineup we got

cowboy

grandpa

like 3 shitty magicians

doctor guy

chinese girl stereotype

little german boy

insector haga and dinosaur ryuzaki stacked on each other's shoulders but only for 3 minutes

monkey

rebecca

fucking siegfried

also jounouchi is there

the kaiba grand prix lineup we deserved

ESPA ROBA. the kid was ahead of his time in battle city, he has a great stage persona, let him come back now that dueling's basically become pro wrestling. he and jounouchi can rematch

the grandpa fight was kind of cute. grandpa can stay

rafael!!! there's this whole sidebar when rafael is introduced in S4 about how when rebecca won the American championship, people were saying she only won because rafael didn't compete. let's put that to the test baby! rafael vs. rebecca go!

the other doma boys can come too I wanna see everyone's revamped 'no longer nihilistically depressed' decks

kujaku mai. please let mai compete in a tournament where she doesn't wind up getting magically tortured. just let her have a funky good time. give her this. let her reunite with the gang also

actually combine those thoughts valon/mai rematch, their only battle was offscreen in a back alley in the middle of a rainstorm let them duke it out in a less depressing environment

malik, wearing a t-shirt that says 'i promise i'm over the whole mind-controlling murder-battle stuff let's have a good time everybody'. people are asking a lot of questions already answered by his shirt

rishid and ishizu because they're both super interesting duelists and deserve to have fun for once

little german boy can stay if he gets an arc about becoming a legally emancipated child because nobody should hang out with siegfried, least of all a kid

fucking siegfried can also stay solely so we can kick his ass even harder than in canon

pegasus shows up but the kaiba brothers disqualify him in the first round on the basis of being pegasus so he just drinks wine and reacts to things in the background for the rest of the arc

#only not saying ryota kajiki because in my heart #he's got his boat by now and is busy getting involved in sustainable fishing practices #doctor guy can stay for getting eliminated in the first round also #he did have a very funny gimmick like we respect a man who has a Bit set up for when he loses

'A get’s a project done they are proud of (or they make a step forward) and B and C hype them about it because they are cheesy morons in love' with Alex, Willie, and Reggie? I just feel they would be super into hyping each other up.

Reggie let out a sigh of relief as he entered the last data point and hit save. He stood from the chair, stretching out his limbs and felt the satisfying pop of his joints as he did so. The sun was low in the sky, and his stomach was definitely unhappy about how long it had been since he had fed it. So he ambled off towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Alex and Willie were working together to make a stir fry; Alex at the stove frying up what looked like chicken while Willie was dutifully chopping vegetables. Reggie slumped himself along Alex's back, nuzzling at his hairline as he wound his arms around his waist.

"Hey Reg," Alex said, relaxing in his hold. "Ready for a break?"

"I'm done actually," Reggie mumbled, the fatigue catching up to him, and he resolved to have himself an epic nap after he got some food into him.

Willie set the knife down at that, a wide smile painting his face. "Wait, you finished your thesis?"

"Uh huh."

Willie glomped onto Reggie, squeezing him tight. "Babe! You did it! I am so proud of you!"

Alex turned around, hugging Reggie tight. "I knew you could do it sweetheart!"

Reggie blushed, loving their belief in him, how supportive they had been while he had laboured over this stupid paper. He loved his studies, he did, but there were times when he didn't ever want to look at another numerical equation again. "It's nothing really," he demurred.

Alex scoffed at that, "Nothing, like he didn't whip this amazing thesis out in no time and I bet it'll earn him top grades in his year. Own your awesomeness hun."

Willie pressed a kiss to Reggie's cheek. "Come on cowboy, you worked so hard, you deserve to do a little bragging."

And Reggie realized, they were right. He had kicked that thesis' butt! And now he was one step closer to getting his PhD in Mathematics. Prove all those doubters wrong who thought he was too stupid to amount to anything. He'd soon be Dr. Reggie Peters, math genius. "You're right, I did it!" he exclaimed, bouncing in their hold.

Alex and Willie grinned as they began jumping with him, screaming that they knew he could, he was the greatest. They planted kisses all over his face and lips, making him blush and giggle, loving his partners more than ever. However before he could propose a fun way to celebrate, an acrid smell filled the air and the smoke alarm sounded.

"Shit, the food!" Alex swore, turning to the wok where the chicken was a nice crispy black. He scowled and then gave a sheepish shrug. "How about we call for a pizza instead? We deserve to celebrate Reggie anyways."

"I can put together a veggie plate from what I have chopped and pick out a movie while you call," Willie suggested.

"Sounds good-" Reggie let out a yawn, "-to me."

"How about you have a nap until it gets here? You must be exhausted," Alex suggested. "I'll wake you up when it's time and we can even watch Star Wars if you want."

"Best boyfriends ever," Reggie mumbled, letting Willie help him to the couch and was asleep mere moments after the fuzzy blanket was tucked around him.

And when Reggie did indeed get top marks, Alex and Willie pinned his grades to the fridge to show off how proud they were. And shouted the loudest when Reggie crossed the stage, PhD in hand.

"That's my math genius!" Alex called.

"Whooo Doctor Reggie!" Willie yelled.

Reggie blushed hard, but blew them both kisses, already impatient to have the ceremony over with so he could rush into their arms. It was thanks to them that he even made it here after all, he couldn't wait to thank them in person.

Judging the songs that made it into the final #2 because I'm a pissed off little cockroach*

*not to be taken seriously

Belgium - meh. literally meh. don't get me wrong i love his voice but this is literally the most generic pop song I've heard tonight (plus Ireland, but as a hibernophile i literally can't admit Ireland does anything wrong ever). bit bland. the performance didn't add anything to it, it was,,,, there. you ever feel like something made it because of jury votes? yeah. definitely this case. i love jérémie though, and I'm sure he'll do a great job. shame that the song is so bland

Czech Republic - why. whyyy. this song sounds like it would play as ambiance music in an h&m and i don't mean this as a compliment. it's generic oontz-oontz it's so boring!! sleep inducing!! I'll give them something, at least it's sort of different to what we usually see and they performed very well, save the deadly stroboscopic lights that made me have to take my eyes off the screen. BOring.

Azerbaijan - i thought there was NO way this was going to make it into the final, but it seems i underestimated the power of national juries. it's giving mans zelmenlow: the sweater, the dance. i love the idea of the stairs, though, one of the most elaborate things we've seen tonight. his voice is dreamy. but I've said it once and I'll say it a million times: BALLADS NEED TO DIE. no one wants to tune in to watch a group of people standing and crying, Eurovision is for fun and escapism. at least they did a good job making the performance a lot more dynamic than other ballads this year, so kudos to them for that.

Poland - fork spotted in kitchen, ochman spotted in the final. I'm not surprised, the first time I heard the song i instantly knew it was going to be a hit with the juries. i actually kind of like it if i squint, his voice is very impressive and he sells it very well. the performance though,,,,, i hate it with a passion. not because of anything ochman or his backup dancers do, that's good, because of the realization. i don't know who is behind it but they need to be STOPPED. i get that the song is called 'river', we've got a water theme going on... but there's a moment where they put this water drop filter and that did not, i repeat it did NOT look like water. you get what I'm saying right. (cum. it looked like cum.) there's also a moment where the camera like shakes and a lot of thunder comes on screen and like. i know i said that it's very important for a ballad-ey song to have something compelling going on on the stage for it to be engaging, but this may perhaps be a bit much. the song doesn't bother me in the finally at all, so i wish the best for ochman actually

Finland - i cannot believe this made it into the final. i actually can't. they came out 1st! there's NO way someone who performs 1st in a semifinal makes it. look at ronela last Tuesday. i disliked the song and just assumed they'd go straight home after seeing they were 1st in the running order. in any case, kudos to the rasmus for selling that drag of a song so well, you could tell they're used to a stage and seasoned performers. the singer did an incredible job. i may not like the song, but I'll give them that. i think they earned their spot in the final, despite the song being atrocious. maybe less balloons next time

Estonia - haha cowboy go brr. what can I say, i love stefan's voice, the performance on his part was great and the lyrics of the song give me a lot of working class proletarian euphoria. i think it's fair he's in the final, he's worked hard and it shows. also the MV for his song was filmed in Spain so i have a contractual obligation to cheer for him. jokes aside i love his voice and i think he has a lot of magnetism on the stage, he deserves to be in the final. good job as mostly always, estonia

Australia - okay i know i said ballads need to die but. we can allow ourselves a little sad song to wave our lighters at from time to time, and that may be just that. sheldon has a voice for the ages and the lyrics get me in my autistic little heart. the song is actually one of my favorites, just maybe not for Eurovision, because repeat with me: ballads have to die. the performance was lacking, though, so they might want to take a look at that if they want to place well in the final. in any case sheldon is pretty deserving of this spot and, if any ballad is going to be in the final, I'd rather it being this one. idk something about a ballad that appeals to my childhood experience and realizing you'll never be like the other kids despite you're all playing the same games,,,,, that appeals to me I'm sorry but it's true

Sweden - SAD GIRLS RISE of course Sweden made it. Sweden always fucking makes it. this song is great actually, a ballad but with rhythm and spice. i love her voice, she's giving Bonnie Tyler in the best sense. idk maybe it's because I'm gay and sad and very much in love that this hits me like a knife thrown to my chest. i really really like this song. also for all the ace attorney brainrot affected people out there: this is asoryuu-core, klapollo-core and narumitsu-core all at the same time. how can that be. it's about the yearning innit. in any case as a Sad Girl™ this song has me on a chokehold and it definitely should be in the final

Romania - the scream of joy that came out if my throat when they said wrs had advanced,,,, i don't think you understand. is the song insufferable and earwormy? yes. have i been complaining when my friend played it since it came out? also yes. do i listen to it on my free time and dance the whole "hola mi bebebe"? perhaps. you have no evidence for that. but it has something that i think makes a Eurovision song what it is: it's FUN. Eurovision is committed to diversity and FUN. wrs ate that stage as soon as he stepped on it and performed absolutely excellently he did it for the girls and the gays. oh I'm so happy he made it. that way we won't have to sleep through a big chunk of the final. I'm genuinely so happy for him and will have a blast singing llámame on the final, thank you very much

Serbia - GODSTRAKTA GODSTRAKTA GODSTRAKTA GODSTRAKTA i could go on for ages SHE MADE IT. Y'ALL. i assumed we'd lose her when she came on third in the running order but. the way people clapped during the biti zdrava with her,,,,,, the performance was so unsettling i have watched it a million times since yesterday. I'm SO happy. oh I'm elated. i get it's not for everyone, it's a little weird, but it's performance art! it's supposed to make you a bit uncomfortable! also the lyrics are so ironic and funny, the way she just stared at the camera deadpan 'i don't have health insurance' I'd die for konstrakta and i will be cheering like a monster for her at the final. now if you don't mind *yells*

Bonus: Big Five songs part 2

Spain - you know what? i think "the Spanish national selection was rigged and fraudulent" and "chanel is a spectacular entry that's going to make us all proud" are statements that can and SHOULD coexist. i had NO faith in her whatsoever at first: generic song, generic voice, boring act. that has changed. chanel has won me over because she's working very very hard and it shows in how the quality of her performance has improved since the national selection. she doesn't choke while singing anymore, which she used to and she did in benidorm. as much as I love Tanxugueiras and Rigo, they wouldn't have been as good as chanel is proving to be. the dance is spectacular, she has a lot of energy and charisma, and it's not boring!! i have to say that i don't like the new arrangement they did: those stereotypically Spanish-sounding trumpets at the beginning make me want to throw my entire stomach up. very tired of exporting this image that Andalusian culture and sounds are all of Spanish culture and sounds, but anyway. that's literally the one and only complaint i can make. my biggest congratulations to the Spanish delegation for putting in an effort for once. i know chanel will place well and it's thanks to how hard she's worked and rehearsed. chanelazo is incoming 👀

United Kingdom - the UK sending a GOOD song to Eurovision???? what's next? the UK sending someone with CHARISMA- oh. they did just that. the song is not one of my favorites but it's so fun and good and the singer (James? Sam? it's Sam) is SO nice he's adorable!! i only wish the best for him and his voice made in heaven. he's literally the last nice person in England (/j), they found him and sent it to Eurovision. this song is giving Elton John and i know i don't like Elton John that much but i mean it as a compliment. it's fun! i like it! it's sure to be a blast at the final

Germany - there had to be a bad one in the big five this year, isn't it. sigh. Malik does very well, but. something about the song is so DATED. like, it sounds 2010s. 2010s inspirational christian pop about growing old. i don't need to be reminded that I'm growing old!! I'm turning 20 this year i already know my best years are behind me MALIK. MALIK YOU'RE GIVING ME EXISTENTIAL DREAD- in any case, not that good of a song. i haven't watched the entire performance, but i hope Malik can bring something else to the stage because if he doesn't this is going to follow Germany's steps these past few years and crash and burn. it's sad, but you know I'm right.

anyway justice for san marino

#eurovision song contest #eurovision 2022 #eurovision #im actually so upset achille lauro didn't make it through #it was the gay kiss on stage innit #anyway he's my winner i love him #so excited for the final~

Thank you for defending the cheerleaders 😭it's insane to me how people can be all about women empowerment as long as we stay in our lanes, but once again cheerleaders get mocked and berated as untalented pure eye-candy, like they're somehow unfit for the modern age or 'degrading' themselves so deserve to be shamed.

Those women are insanely talented! Cheerleading IS a sport, a dangerous one too, and hyping up teams IS a real activity.

It feels terrible to have women in the peak of their sport be talked about like that, being told they shouldn't be allowed to show up to places and being described with sick-emojis when they get to be centre stage to show off their routines :(

I do think the criticism came from a place of trying to support women by not wanting grid girls, but I think it’s just a misunderstanding about what cheerleaders, and specifically the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, are about. There’s a show about how hard it is to become one for a reason. And part of their job IS to show up at events and be gorgeous (and they do it so well, let’s be real). And the girls who get to show up and do those appearances are the best of the best of the best.

I think people don’t realize that cheerleaders’ function IS to perform, but all of it is a performance. Not just the dance, but the “whole package”. The pom pom hallway/tunnel is a normal thing for cheerleaders to do— I did it for 6 years when I was a cheerleader and it was part of supporting the team! Wearing that iconic uniform and being at events is part of being part of the DCC and it’s not at all degrading for them to get to do what they do.

The DCC are a uniquely American and VERY Texas thing, so I understand fans not understanding the significance of them, but it makes me sad to see people saying they shouldn’t be there. They deserve to be there just like other celebrities and athletes.

#if you haven’t watched DCC: Making the Team go do it RIGHT NOW #It’s the OG cheerleading documentary #when I was in college my friends and I were obsessed #every cheerleader I knew wanted to be them #they are the HEIGHT of cheerleading #no one is better than the DCC 💅🏻

task o1o. the interview

Courtney had previously believed that the Capitol could not have been more insulting to District Ten than the ridiculous outfit the stylist had put he and Prairie in, but he was mistaken. Here he was, in a full, pastel pink, cow-print suit - and it was all have a size too small. Intentionally, the stylist had smugly informed him, to "show off his physique." The neon pink of the Parade was referenced in the glowing cowboy hat he was wearing. He felt like his heart was melting in embarrassment within his chest, but the tight clothes disallowed him from curling his posture in.

It was meant to emulate the strong, masculine energy in contrast to the princessy femininity that Prairie would be displaying, all the while tying together a sense of unity. All Courtney saw, though, was uncomfortable, pink, and fake. The false material chafed against his skin, and no matter how he moved to situate himself, it only got worse. But fine - this was the hand he was dealt, and he was going to play it. He had barely heard Prairie's interview just prior to his own - he was too focused on his own task at hand.

The lights were bright, but he could handle it. As Calix called out, "Here's the cowboy himself, Courtney Ganhador from District Ten!" Courtney rolled his shoulders back and puffed out his chest, wincing slightly as the buttons pressed into his skin. He forced a toothy smile onto his face, but he knew it must look pained. He sat opposite of Calix, whose eyes seemed to see straight into his soul.

"Mr. Ganhador! What lovely cow print. It's very in season, or so my stylist friends tell me."

Courtney forced himself to chuckle, pressing his palms into the material on his thighs. "I wouldn't know about all that, Mr. Crystal. I just wear what they tell me to. So far, no complaints, though."

Calix's eyes twinkled, knowing Court was bullshitting - but he chose not to call it out. After all, this was a show. "Tell Panem about home. What's your family like?"

A warm and genuine smile rushed to Courtney's face. "Big. Got a bunch of little siblings runnin' around the ranch, all the time. Hardly had enough space, but that's what the fields were for. Nothin' better to tire out a little brat than telling 'em to go chase a barn cat."

"So you're the oldest?"

"Yessir. And we've got another little one on the way."

Calix pulled to camera, initiating an "awww" that echoed through the crowd. "So you're anxious to get home, then. To meet the new one."

"Not anxious, Mr. Crystal. Determined." Court's smile turned into a pressed smirk. It was remarkable how Calix knew exactly how to guide him through this. He just needed to trust.

Calix brought his hands together in a clap. "That's what we like to hear! Tell us about your time here. What has it been like working with District Ten's darling, Greer?"

"She's great. She and I are alike in a lot of ways. We're confident, we're focused. And given how recently she won, she knows exactly how to coach me. Us. Me and Prairie both."

"We just had Ms. Quartz up on this stage a few moments ago. Is what she's saying true? That you two are allied?"

"There's no one else I'd want to be workin' with. We get each other. Greer deserves a win, and we're gonna give it to her."

"I love the conviction. Is there anyone who should be watching out for you in the Arena?"

Court's eyes widened mischievously. "Mr. Crystal -"

"Okay, as charming as that is in your drawl, you must call me Calix -"

"Everyone should watch out for me in the Arena."

"Okay, perhaps that was too easy a question. Is there anyone specifically who should watch their back?"

"Well..." Court shrugged, but leaned forward conspiratorially towards Calix. "Those Careers may think they're sitting high and mighty with their pack of nines, but there's a pack of sevens just waitin' for them to fall apart." It was a bit of a bluff - he had only spoken to Hart once and had never spoken to Cordelia. But everyone loved a rivalry, and the grin on Calix's face proved it.

"Alright, Mr. Ganhador," Calix winked across at him. "One last question. If you win, what's the first thing you'll do when you get home?"

Courtney cocked his head to the side. "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand your question."

This seemed to genuinely catch Calix off guard. "You don't... what?"

"Ask it again - maybe I can figure out where you lost me."

Calix chuckled. "Alright. I said: if you win -"

"Aha! That's it, right there. If? If I win?"

A relieved burst of laughter escaped out of Calix, which transferred to the crowd. "Of course, my apologies. How silly of me. When you win - of course, folks, the confidence! - what will be the first thing you do when you get home?"

Once again, Court's face lit up in a smile. "Well, that's easy. I'm gonna cook my Ma her favorite meal ten times over. I don't care what season it is, I'm gonna find some corn and cream it and she's gonna eat it for the rest of her life."

This took Calix a bit off his rocker, but he rolled with it. He reached out to take Court's hand for a shake, mouthing "How strong!" to the audience before saying, "Thank you, Courtney. Best of luck in the Arena. Everybody, give a round of applause for District Ten's Courtney Ganhador!"
