#eurovision #eurovision 2022 #esc #eurovision song contest #really I just expected LESS ballads but somehow it feels like there are more now?? #like I did not love Austria or San Marinos vocals but they brought something different to the table #Also Albania just brought THAT energy #Ireland was a Bop #Latvia was Iconic #Denmark WAS A MORE ROCK ENTRY #Slovenia was a vibe #Georgia was weird but in a good way

You know, with the fact that Ryn went and got herself petrified within a day of finding out just how willing the Ruby Vanguard are to fuck a wizard up, I do think that, while the bar is very low, Essek (as he is during the course of the campaign) really does deserve some credit for never ending up in such a self-imposed pickle that he needed his allied party to show up and save him from himself. In fact, the only time the Nein directly felt the need to worry about him was when Caleb put him in danger without thinking through certain connections that would be made, and even then, that was more of Caleb feeling guilt-ridden about it than actual worrying.

And to be very clear, Essek absolutely was and still to this day in canon is in a massive, self-imposed pickle, but when it actually comes down to it, the Nein were pretty tangential and superfluous to navigating that, and he's predominantly doing the work himself.

#anyway justice for essek thelyss's wisdom score. 😔 #I do think it's higher than one would expect. #look at both caleb and percy. no shoddy wisdom scores there! still touch things that really should not be touched. #sometimes high intelligence just overrules the wisdom score and that's all there is to it. #like! essek would have just peaced if he was found out! #hilariously he even like. asks very little of the nein on behalf of the court in the course of being their handler. #they mostly do the most buckwild shit and he just teleports them around. #gave them a house and some pretty chill work through waccoh and then like. mostly let them bop around wherever lmao #barely asked questions about wtf they were up to #tbt when they were like 'yeah can you teleport us to a dragon in the middle of the arctic' and he was like 'you're insane but sure lol.' #this is not serious do not come whine to me about it. I do not wanna hear it. I have to go back to writing now I just had the thought. #critical role #essek thelyss #cr spoilers #(for ryn mention lol)

I'm too tired to have higher thought and am just like... okay fandom landscape's changed a lot recently and now I want survey data on what characters most frequently get transgenderified by fans and why. Like on a personal basis and also stuff you've seen other people doing... wondering which written traits contribute to it more also for men vs women too

#let him speak #Anecdotally: I did not expect to see this much Vergil gregnancy angst in the wild but I absolutely expected something like #2b and 9s bop it twist it reverse it #immediately while playing nier so some of this stuff is definitely more text based vs community based #also expected trans women to strongly grip kobeni like hot dog that didnt surprise me

[eosofspades]

also ruby gillman was absolutely so much better than everyone says it was. idc this movie is so much fun

#im like objectively yeah THEMATICALLY it falls a little flat/shallow but its still fun #its vivid its interesting the soundtrack is a bop the characters are compelling its super rewatchable #i like you ruby gillman teenage kraken 👍 #i kept expecting it to play into tropes/conventions that i find suuuper grating but it kept subverting my expectations!! dleightfully!!!!! #100% thought they were gonna do a 'connor falls for chelsea until he realizes ruby saved him' but no that boy was FAITHFUL to his crush #and chelsea didnt pursue him i was sooo worried that was gonna be an arc i would hate #and chelsea chelsea my darling horrible queen SHE WAS SO FUN she managed to play perfectly into her archetype WITHOUT #being annoying!!! AND still feeling new and fresh!!! #and oh my goddddd RUBY shes the quirky adorkable female lead who is actually GOOD idk #what it is about her but oh my god i didnt even realize that was her archetype until i saw the movie again bc she was so #Not Annoying #like . truly the only complaints i have are that it sets up thematic threads and doesnt follow through on a lot of them and #i personally find the art style a *little* unappealing but other than that its?? its a good movie???? #mine #ruby gillman #rory rambles about movies

I don't know why I wasn't expecting Next Semester to make me emotional - it's Twenty One Pilots, they always make me emotional

#the snippet sounded like such a bop but i was not expecting it to hit so close to home #maybe cos I'm so tired and burnt out from this semester and so ready for it to be over? #i just want summer to start 😭 #twenty one pilots #tøp #next semester #clancy

Like talon dick au, league jason/tim au, meta literally anybody else, bruce treating tim the worst because he came after Jason, etc.

These are all themes and ideas you could explore with the characters they actually apply to and it’s not lost on me that such a heavily queer fandom ignores black and brown people and women so much in favor of white men who are canonically cops, or have classist ideals, or whatever. It’s not even the aus themselves that are bad (well. To you ig) it’s the fact that it’s so obvious that ur yearning for a specific character or story that’s already there and just waiting to be explored in full but you can’t see poc as people enough to do it.

Anything you write about talon dick can be explored through cass, league cracker aus through Damián, meta anyones through Duke, tim being hated through Stephanie. These are themes that ALREADY exist but y’all are so entangled in making white men kiss that u ignore them it’s so fucking weird. Even that ‘trying c+ parent’ thing with Bruce where he knows he’s paranoid and controlling but he knows statistically it helps but he also wants his family to be happy? Or him being the only smart competent person ever (🫥) and backbone of the JL? That could be Babs! READ BIRDS OF PREY!

Anyways it’s just so disingenuous like first of all I don’t believe anyone who says they don’t read enough ONLY to include Duke; not only bc it’ll be someone who’s self admittedly never read anything but also bc Duke is THEE easiest character to get into rn. I don’t believe people who write the aus above and have the characters they actually apply to as cardboard cutouts in the background have any care for said characters and I don’t believe that people who project their own “leftist” ideals onto white characters before even THINKING about a woman believe shit. That’s just me tho idc

#like no on that last point #sorry if you’ve ever written or drawn smth that’s about the robins but not about Steph #I believe u have more internalized misogyny left in u than the average person #if you’ve talked about ppl being trained by assassins or having a hard time emotion due to parental expectations #and ur not talking about cass or Damián? #ur talking about shit u MADE UP (bc I’m not gonna stop saying that Janet and Jack are MADE UP) for tim? #I believe you have more internalized racism than the average person. #and so on and so forth #idc what u preach online like it’s so obvious that u have to put effort into seeing us as people #which like great first step but then u think ur done? u think going ‘oh yeah dukes here too!’ #or ‘Bruce WAS mean to Steph…which means she gets how tim feels!’ #and u think that’s it? ur full of shit #obligatory this is not about character specific blogs #well to an extent like ​if u run a blog where u talk about Jason and nothing else but Jason idc about not including Duke #however when ur making posts and art about literally everyone else as well or u talk about those beats or aus up above that y’all made up #*loud incorrect buzzer* #Also #I’m not saying Babs is the only competent member of BOP far from it #I’m saying that the dynamics y’all give Bruce with the league is literally u yearning for oracle. #also on the I don’t believe anyone who’s said they haven’t read Duke #that’s like. in unison with everything else going on #u saying u don’t read Duke ALONE is not enough for me not to believe u it’s everything else stacked on it too

Wait, I’m out of the loop! Can you explain why we should be wary of Gail Simone? Last I actively was involved in the IRL community, she was constantly praised but I don’t know her work well :/

i dont wanna say you SHOULD do anything bc. think what you want to think yk. but the reason a lot of people dont like her work (specifically her birds of prey run bc i dont think ive read anything else shes written) is. theres a lot of racism in it. i wont go into specifics but pretty much every asian character gets written as a dragon lady stereotype and theres. um. some very questionable stuff in some arcs (the arc where she gets her daughter is. um. horrible and makes me cringe just thinking about it)

i think that a lot of people look at simone's bop run with rose colored glasses just because its a fun team that has some fun dynamics and good moments but,,,, there are quite a few issues.

#can i say something controversial #to me. ch*ck d*xon's bop run is better than simones #because they both loved to dabble in racism and misogyny but i feel like DIXON managed to be more subtle with it #bc you read his run and its kinda just babs and dinah lezzing out and. the usual things you have to ignore when you read 90s comics #then you get to simone and whenever its not being racist its them going 'haha women be shopping! 😝' #and honestly i think i was just more disappointed when it was simone #like you have to expect bullshit from dixon but i was ROOTING for simone and she let me down 💔

Something I really loved about Barbie is the beginning of "Dance The Night" repeating as the theme/jingle throughout the movie. It's such a fun disco vibe and it was neat that they incorporated it into an orchestral sound a few times too

#unfortunartunately you can't find it anywhere because there isn't an orchestral soundtrack or they haven't released it (or I can't find it) #ngl it's a bop of a song anyways I didn't expect to like it as much as I do but I love the disco sound #barbie #barbie movie #do I need to tag this as a spoiler??

[esther-on-fire]

predictably, i am absolutely feral about the new sleater-kinney record

#like jdjdjkdjfjf its easily their best since no cities to love #it feels like a return to form but like also like something new #the whole tracklist is a bop but Hunt You Down #Six Mistakes #and of course Hell #are standouts #my one complaint is that the drums feel soooo stale #which is like expected with this modern era of sleater kinney sans janet #but like still its still a disappointment #the songwriting more than makes up for it though #im so excited for my vinyl to arrive #i got the limited edition gold splash one #ill post pics once it gets here #esther rambles #sleater kinney #sleater-kinney

[titsthedamnseason]

maybe controversial but i feel like the way that welcome to new york is considered a staple surprise song for taylor playing at metlife so too should tim mcgraw be a staple for atlanta shows

#now i know taylor cannot let this devolve into every little reference to a location in a song #meaning that people will expect her to play that song in that place #but the mention of georgia in tim mcgraw is just as iconic as wtny or paris or london boy imo #it’s not in the title but it’s PROMINENT #and i’m not complaining about my surprise songs btw like i literally think about them multiple times a week i was SO LUCKY #but oh for it to be summer in georgia and im at a taylor swift concert hearing some good old debut acoustic #oh how i loathe the winter #mine #taylor swift #and as i new yorker i feel lucky that wtny acoustic has never been thrust upon me 😭😭😭 #i’m not a hater or whatever i love the song and respect it as a bop but it’s lower tier in terms of surprise songs #so sorry if wtny has ever been your surprise song. no hate and i hope you enjoyed it !!!! <3

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

my On Repeat playlist is so banger right now if you ignore the fact that there's a song from the hecking SpongeBob musical smack in the middle of it

#which is in itself actually hilarious. like why is the spongebob musical actually GOOD I did not expect that #be careful guys I might be slipping back into musical theater mode this summer #but anyway yeah bops all of em #Lu rambles #music

37. Poland – Solo  

I want to make one thing clear – even if this song had swept the televote in its national final and was pitch-perfectly sung with killer choreography, Solo would still be right down at the bottom of my list. There’s so much here I dislike just in the studio cut, from the opening squeaky synth, to Blanka’s affectation as she puts on ‘pop-star voice’, to the irritating syncopated beat that blares throughout the entire track, only letting up for a few short seconds at the start of each chorus. The topic isn’t anything new, there’s plenty of better pop songs that deal with the singer being much better of without their ex, and the lyrics feel lazy and repetitive, especially in the chorus which is just the same two lines repeated, to the point where the words lose all meaning to me by the time the song is over. It doesn’t help that this isn’t a genre I’m particularly keen on, but even within its genre Solo is unimaginative and bland. Add some pretty abysmal live performances on top of it, and it adds up to an entry I really can’t stand.

#eurovision #esc2023 #2023 ranking #poland #I generally don't share my predictions since they're usually wrong #but I actually think this stands a decent chance of qualifying for the final #depending on how bad her vocal is on the night #but the televote tends to be more forgiving of vocals than the jury (see Albania last year) #especially if the song's a bop #like I say this isn't my genre but I've seen a fair few people enjoying this one as a studio cut #and I wouldn't expect most of the voting audience in the semi to know the drama behind it #so I can see it sneaking through #even though personally I hope it doesn't as I've got a couple of borderline faves in semi 2! #but we'll get to those much later!
