There is one thing that bugs me to no end in TWST, and it's the lack of RSA characters.

I know we're focusing on NRC, but the endgame is fast approaching, which means Interschool Magift tournament in the next arcs.

And wouldn't it be great if we had at least one RSA character parallelling each dorm? For maximum rivalry.

So far, there's only Chen'ya, Neige, and maybe Rielle for Heartslabyul, Pomefiore and Octavinelle, respectively. Which means we still need representatives for Savanaclaw, Scarabia, Ignihyde, Diasomnia and Ramshackle....

I know we'll probably meet them later on, but it can be tricky to add five new characters to the plot in one go, especially if you want to flesh out their relationships with the cast (we usually only get one or two characters per event, like Rollo or the hometown characters. And Neige was basically the main point of conflict in Book 5).

#we can always use vignettes though #not me thinking we would meet an RSA character back at Tamashina Mina #wouldn't it be cool if Malleus's main rival was a fae that HATES humans and deems the Draconias as weak #maybe the magift tournament will just be Azul learning how to actually fly and confronting Rielle #I hope we get everyone hating their RSA rivals #meanwhile Riddle and Chen'ya are eating tarts. Watching the chaos unfold #hopefully we'll get a few “villain” RSA representatives #I mean NRC has Kalim Silver and Rook #and everyone's a little twisted #RSA's villain vibes go off the charts due to cheating and NRC wins by default #double Crowley and Ambrose overblot #but they're just bickering #Cheka cheering for his uncle alongside the Royal Family and their retainers #Heartslabyul and Savanaclaw are ready to pounce on anyone that insults Leona #twst #heartslabyul #savanaclaw #RSA #NRC #octavinelle #scarabia #pomefiore #ignihyde #diasomnia

most fucked up thing about the body's response to not eating is when you're so hungry you feel like you're gonna throw up. this does not make it easier to eat food actually

#literally thanks it did not help #my body sucks so bad at eating #i literally am not hungry until im so hungry i feel sick?? #also #even when i remember to eat on a schedule all food makes me queasy i literally cannot win #maybe the so hungry im about to puke thing is just a me problem idk but it is NOT helpful #im also starting a medication that i cant eat anything for two hours before or after that's going to mess up my digestion today 😊 #and make me feel awful #but its an alternative to eye surgery so hopefully it will be worth it #but i havent even started it yet and im so queasy just bc i didnt really eat breakfast #its not like i had Nothing i had three bites of cheerios and a coffee.... #i would have eaten the cheerios but i was late for an appointment lol #anyway #my digestion sucks and i already cut out gluten and almost all dairy 😤 #wtf else is thereee #also somehow magically even tho all food makes me sick and i barely eat regular meals i am putting on weight??? #lowkey wondering if im diabetic or something bc this is not normallll

Honestly, considering the show/writers never acknowledged Daphne’s marital rape of her husband, and they only had a slight acknowledgment of Edwina’s feelings on Kate x Anthony, like I don’t think there will be a satisfactory resolution to Pen’s betrayal of the Bridgertons (Marina/Colin and Eloise/Theo) or of Eloise’s “friendship” with Cressida (and anything else she might do as “revenge”).

I think they’ll blow over the latter “I said I’d rather die than be her friend and I still mean it” and hugs all around or some other scene like that (which I know is simple and that’s my point). And Pen will apologize and confess that cause she’s so in love with Colin and she wanted to be noticed and she’ll be forgiven without much else from Colin. And maybe a little more for Eloise, if that.

(Spoiler’s for the books in case people care about that).

They forgive her for Whistledown in the books, Colin is worried more about her being revealed as Whistledown than her writing shit about him (tho nothing she writes is like Marina/Colin is not in the books. Daphne basically forgives her for anything she wrote about that but tbh she doesn’t seem to mind anyway). And, they like sorta acknowledge it as “wtf” thing, but it’s blown over quickly imo. “Oh well that’s nice dear” sorta reaction. And Eloise does have even more of a backbone than in the books but idk I just don’t see why and what people seem to want out of Bridgerton.

Eloise is going to somehow befriend and fall in love with Crane! You’re telling me the girl running around with Theo and “radicals” will suddenly fall for the guy boring the fuck out of Marina?

Like, I’m sorry but Bridgerton is pretty people hooking up with a regency background. They will not “do right” by most people’s standards of how the characters should act and how to apologize (Daphne and Simon make up after professing deep love in the rain! Anthony is shocked into confessing for real cause Kate fell of a horse! It’s for DRAMA, and then it’s resolved kinda easily?)

I’ve seen some more of nuanced takes against Pen, at least these people aren’t reducing her to a fat villain (cause when they did that I could not take them seriously 😒). And honestly a lot of it is fair, that’s good! The writers don’t care.

But now I keep seeing people hating Eloise to the point that they want a comeuppance that is not proportional to her “revenge”…and like… it won’t be as serious as y’all are making it to be. This “revenge”. Like please, the writers aren’t going to suddenly take this world seriously. See above and those are just 1 example for each season!

If they wanted to acknowledge all the hurt Pen put people through and make her work to become a better person, they could! I just don’t think they will because it’s 8 episodes per season and in this season they’re trying to find a way to get Colin and Pen together and Eloise and Pen as friends again by end of season. I don’t think they’ll extend a conflict into Ben’s season (I actually hope they don’t, I like Ben and Sophie’s story for the most part and while I love Anthony and Kate they shouldn’t be the focus either).

Idk what people expect I guess. if you’re watching it for Pen to be taken down a notch… might not be the season for you. If you’re hate watching I guess tag it with “anti” whatever and not the regular tags?

I’m sorry if you think she does not deserve an happy ending, I don’t necessarily disagree that she’s undeserving of some crow eating for what she’s done. However, I don’t think the writers care to make her go through that. And I don’t watch Bridgerton for brilliant character development that I think some of y’all want.

That being said I’m curious about how they’ll manage LW post Colin x Penelope marriage. In the books it basically disappears, and maybe they can use that to have a build up to Pen! However that means to me making their relationship last longer than as season and I do not want that for any of the couples.

#illy talks #I need to not go into tags but fine I’ll tag it #Bridgerton #sa cw #marital rape mention #rape mention #idk if I have a tag for that but I think I have it covered #I don’t write any analysis or meta cause I tend to be a centrist about everything and let the story play out #but I really relate to Pen’s wallflower ways so sorta defending her #but like also again the whole marketing of “Colin and Penelope’s story” sorta spoils it yknow she’s gonna be “rewarded” #and maybe she’ll get to have to work through her issues! I just don’t think they’ll have her do that cause it’s BRIDGERTON #she’s gonna “win” idk how else to say it (whether you believe she “deserves it” or not) in 8 episodes #hopefully the writers come up with a compelling story for her and Eloise and their friendship along with Pen/Colin romance but like y’all 😐 #why are your expectations so high about a bodice ripper book turned tv show from the creator of Scandal and HTGAWM and Grey’s #like y’all know how it ends already… #again my fault for going in the tags #idk we’re getting four seasons minimum I just want to finish out with Ben and Sophie #if four is really all we get

Green Day Song Tierlist! :D

You ever wanna spend approximately 12ish hours listening to their entire discog and rank the individual songs Or speedrun the tierlist bc you already know what songs you're gonna place where for funsies? WELL DO I HAVE THE TIERLIST FOR YOU!! 🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵

In my bedridden, sickly victorian child-eqsue condition, I made this dumb thing! It's pretty much all Green Day songs plus b-sides and demos with this exception: - No repeats of tracks (Welcome to Paradise is counted once, and demo versions of released songs, for example, The Grouch (Demo), aren't counted but the You Irritate Me (Demo) is!) Also extends to live versions, unless the live version is the only existing recording (ex: Cigarettes and Valentines lol)

Other than that, that's it! At least I hope it is lol. If by some chance I missed one, feel free to let me know so I can update it ^^! I plan to update the list anyway once Saviors is released :D And maybe update it immediately after the listening party if my ailment clears so i can go lmao. Now what does this monstrosity look like? Like this!

Lazy Bones and Too Dumb To Die supremacy.

Anyways. Wanna make ur own? Here ya go!

Don't have ur own playlist of their discography to listen along to/use to remember which songs are bangers and which ones you detest?? No problem! This is the playlist I made and use all the time, plus fixed up just for this :D

Only song you'll have to find (cough) is Favorite Son bc spotify is Mean, but anyways!!! A shorter link to the playlist is in the description of the tierlist! Now show me ur worse/bad/good/great takes B) and have fun :DD

#WAHH LONG POST SRRYYYYYYY #BUT I TEND TO OVER EXPLAIN AND I COULDNT FIND A WAY TO SAY EVERYTHING IN A CONCISE MANNER WAAAHHH #trust me this shit was Longer sdfhkgjdflsgjshdfkgjh but it's literally nothing important Just a tierlist fml #of which there's diff variants of their discog (songs wise) but none i saw were updated w saviors singles soooo #i take the wins where i can ok #anyways its DONE AAAA #necessary tags to reach ppl. hopefully. maybe. allegedly. supposedly sdlkfjhgsjdf #green day #billie joe armstrong #mike dirnt #tre cool #1039 smooth #kerplunk #dookie #insomniac #nimrod.warning #international superhits #shenanigans #american idiot #21st century breakdown #green day trilogy #uno dos tre #revrad #revolution radio #father of all motherfuckers #foamf #green day saviors #saviors #weeeee i do my lil yippee dance ok i get food now and take meds

one thing I can’t get out my head is that do joon was clearly murdered, some “accident” potentially caused by seong joon, and well before hyeon woo started working for the jin family. I suspect min young started going after soonyang after realizing the family was responsible for the death of her partner? crush? first love? whatever do joon becomes to her. and that begs the time travel questions of how much of the future hyeon woo knows is based off static, unchangeable events versus the impact of his own actions as do joon? given the inevitable death of his mother, we might question how much he can really change but even this traces back to a fight he hasn’t won yet. while the mechanics of rebirth-as-your-company’s-founder’s-youngest-grandson-35-years-prior-to-your-death is the least interesting part of this show, the resolution of hyeon woo’s revenge journey (and therefore the show’s message) is going to depend on how this issue plays out - will he tear down soonyang permanently and get killed for it, will he survive and fight long enough to join forces with present hyeon woo (mindfuck lmao), will he be do joon or hyeon woo in his final moments? if rebirth is not an opportunity but a miracle, can his vengeance breathe renewed life where it’s hopeless? 

#reborn rich #maybe dojoon's gonna die and he'll wake up in a hospital as hyeon woo again 😂😂 #but there could be something to be said about whether he is do joon or hyeon woo when (hopefully) he burns soonyang to the ground #or at least revealed to be... not the grandson. poor og dojoon's soul just poofed out of existence #I imagine the jin family thinks they're winning while they stick a knife into dojo on onlyfor him to be like... #... SIKE oh se hyeon's fucking your shit up right now and there's nothing you can do about it 😌 #ranting

I adore WinTeam but P’Pruek is the true delight.

His face when Win told him and Dean that he had already slept with Team.

Truely the expression of a man who is well-meaning but about to smile very widely at the kind of psychological damage that has been suddenly unleashed on him

#between us the series #between us #happy we got at long last more manow - i love her #this episode was kind of filler but hopefully they got most of the sponsorships out of the way like this #the teamwin scenes in the beginning felt a bit disconnected because of it but i adored the last bit where they each spoke to their friends #abotu their feelings #much to dean's honest concern and breaking p'preuk's mind #i was ready for standard drama and probably would have liked it but i also like the implicit angst of both of them thinking they're one-side #ly in love (my kind of idiots) #and how jarring it must be to hear your crush talk about having had sex with you to his friends while you yourself haven't even mentioned be #ing interested in the guy before your own friends #just tastiness all around #happy we got win and his brothers but i couldn't care less about bumblebee and prince #again: cannot wait until next week #maybe it is the red herring for this week with last week's preview but why do i feel like team's night time practice will be far more dramat #ic than the preview suggests? #to be fair to p'pruek: i didn't expect win to tell them that he had slept with team already #also respect dean being a friend but still watching out for no juniors getting hurt

[flowerygn]

i need to be cheesy for a moment

#if there is one group where i am completely delusional its for sf9 #i have no clue about music so i can't comment on that i just want to appreciate the talent that sf9 is #and how they pull every string to make anything for themselves and the fans happen #and maybe some cb are rushed but its still good work #and i can only show my gratitude towards them by being their fan #there is always some sadness attached to sf9 comebacks bc yeah members are entlisting ane sf9 is not always winning (even tho winning is no #important) #but the rest 90% its fun and i get to enjoy new music #sf9 are my ults and hopefully it doesn't go away 😂🫶

grown ash waltzing through the delia's front door, as he's (quite sporadically) wont to do, so happy to be home and see his mom.

delia remembers a time she'd see his smaller figure lumbering down the hall and feel nothing but radiant joy that her son had come to visit.

nowadays, there is but a microsecond of some unnameable feeling, like a solitary bead of ice crawling down her spine. just before the light at his back recedes and she can see his face in the shade of the hallway, just for that tiny split second —

she wonders if his father, her husband, has finally found his way home.

but it's never him. always ash. he looks so much like him now... no, no, perhaps ash has even outgrown him. who can say?

ash's 36th birthday approaches. delia never even got to celebrate his father's 25th with him.

who can say anymore?

#au rambling #hehehehehehehehe we love a little grief #we love our favourite characters glaring down the indomitable facets of living #and hopefully ... just maybe ... winning #ash ketchum #delia ketchum #timeskip au #pkmn omens au

Idk hot take for a Saturday morning, but maybe people shouldn’t be SO quick to switch to a mentality of: “well I’m not voting at all” about American politics in regards to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict/genocide just bc America has had its dick in those affairs LONG BEFORE fucking Biden Presidecy and people are seemingly just NOW feeling publically vocally outraged about it bc it’s in the forefront news (as you should be), but maybe also let’s use our fucking brains for a moment if you are American:

we should, and can easily, also still focus on that which is in our own backyard, if you don’t vote fucking blue, because green/third parties are not actually viable in the deeply established two party system we have had for CENTURIES, we get fucking DeSantis or some other horrible Fascist Republican and then America is going to have its own genocide against LGBTQ+ people, fascism goes up, continued attacks against drag/immigrants/etc.

You also know damn well that any Republican, If one were president, would be doing the same fucking thing of providing aid to Israel, so I guess personally I’m just confused as to why everyone is surprised biden is doing the same.

You can and should support a free Palestine, and hold contempt for Israel and condemn their actions, AND also know that voting blue is Americas literal only chancE RIGHT CURRENTLY NOW this upcoming year, to remain somewhat of a democracy instead of a ChristoFascist regime, especially with Biden being one of the ONLY blue candidates like… our hands are TIED

Like YEAH it’s gonna fucking suck to vote for Biden but like you also gotta fucking Buck up sometimes and do things you don’t particularly WANT to do. It’s called duality and compromising in life and sometimes it’s fucking unavoidable.

But idk what the fuck do I know 🤪 I’m just a girl who thinks maybe you shouldn’t just fucking give up one of your only recognized rights in America just because some actions you can’t control from a crusty old moderate blue white man in a country whose affairs are more complicated than your messiest situationship is upsetting (rightfully so, I might add) you

#personal txt #I’m sorry that tragedies are like trends these days but I haven’t seen ANYRHING about any of the crises we had earlier in the year #like yeah ALL of it is important but also #you can’t NOTvote next year you will actively be contributing to a horrible fascist regime in America #please use your fucking eyes and brain: I did NOT say Americans shouldn’t support Palestine. they should #I’m saying maybe don’t base your gut reaction politics on things that have been out of the public’s hands for DECADES. US has always backed #Israel. it isn’t right and it’s corrupt and it’s awful yes. all those. but it won’t change #just like how the two party system is so ingrained that it nullifies 3rd parties #vote blue just so we don’t fucking die in America and then hope Biden kicks it or smth #Kamala takes over. elections come again. we hopefully have more democratic candidates #but like #we CANNOT not vote #I will literaally kill myself if Trump or DeSantis win all because you fuckstains #learned your politics from fucking tiktok and tumblr #come at me if my hot take (which isn’t even a hot take but PURE observation) #bothers you enough but idc #I’m seeing too many people being like WELL NOW IM NOT VOTING AT ALL #good job on giving up one of your only rights in this world you fucking Sheep #the amount of people goingIM NOT VOTING. IS CONCERNING TO ME #like y’all can’t do this right before fucking election year 🫠 #republicans WANT you to not vote you stupid clods. why would you willingly give them what they want #Biden sucks so fucking much and I’d rather eat glass but I know in the big picture voting blue fucking matters #like MULTPLE things can be important at once #but imo it’s important to know what you do and don’t have immediate control over #can you control what’s happening in Gaza? not a fucjing chance. these people hate each other so much and for so long #and yes it’s terrible and horrible and Israel needs to just fuck off forever #but like I highly doubt they would listen to the opinion f outside affairs #also I don’t think majority of people even understand just HOW complicated the US relations with Israel is and I don’t either so I won’t #pretend like I do #you can more easily control the outcome of the US political landscape by FUCKING VOTING

Me using humor to disguise the fact that I am telling them how to do it correctly because customers can get so defensive if I point out they don’t know how to use their card’s new tap feature, and I kinda have to say something because they will get frustrated and start jousting at the reader with their card, and we just got new card-readers that actually work and I am not about to let someone break my brand-new easy-to-use card-reader just because they don’t want to admit that they have no idea how it works and need to be helped at least once to figure it out: “It’s more of a sit that a tap, haha.”

#my autism gets overly attached to tools. especially ones that are overlooked or damaged or need maitenece. #I maybe accidentally named one of our broken shopping carts Hamburger (cos hes smashed but he’s still okay-ish) and it’s #still referred to as Hamburger and when it goes missing people say ‘who fucking took hamburger again.’ #one time I found hamburger way in the very back of the warehouse (not with the Too Broken To Use carts; it was just left in the back with #some stuff in it someone forgot to put up) so on my lunch break I went and put up the stuff and then wheeled ol Hamburger all the #way to the back room where I kept it. I did use it! there’s always one or two shopping carts back there for moving product around. I just #had a peculiar one that I befriended and perhaps there was a time when my mental capacity to not quit was indeed held together only by Hamb #Hamburger’s rusty and squashed frame. #ANYWAYS. I love my card readers 🥺 I love the broken ones and the new ones. #the new ones have a very fatal flaw: older cards are a little thicker so they need a tiiiiny extra nudge to fully insert. and oh my god. #I have to walk on eggshells to explain that. because if i don’t explain they will decide to shove the card like they think it’s a carnival #game of ‘how hard can you push this? are you strong enough to win the stuffed cat for your girlfriend?’ #so far it works if I just…very…slowly…hover my hand over to their card…and very lightly nudge it. and then I make SURE to say. #‘I appreciate you being gentle with it #it’s new and actually works really well compared to our old ones and I don’t want someone to break it pushing too hard; so thank you.’ #and I’m so sympathetic to the card reader 😭 like DAMN. I couldn’t read your card either if you slapped it against my eyeball for half a sec #like it needs a moment to scan. like an eyeball. just set it in range and it will beep when it’s finished. it’ll take a full second or maybe #even two or three. but it’s going to take even longer if you start whacking your card on it and then give up and put the chip in and then it #has to show the errror message and then reset and then try to scan the chip and hopefully you found some patience for that otherwise you #took your card out already and are now staring at me like I’m an irresponsible Card Reader Handlef #for not properly training my equipment to work. #sorrrrrry for rambling!!! #sorenhoots #wait this is my post. not sorries.
