okay so i've almost finished compiling that vid of all the standing next to me clips from eycte and it's got to the point where i've literally started hearing the song in my sleep 💀

#want her can't have her #two years have gone now #but i can't relate to the never-ending games that you plaaaaay #as desire passes through #then you're open to the truth #i hope you understand #and your love is standing next to me #is standing next to meeeeeeee #(someone help me) #lulu posts

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

#pjo #percy jackson #nico di angelo #Percy shows up at CJ and squints at Nico like ''hm. why do i feel like i hate you? like i just wanna punch you in the face?'' #and Nico just immediately goes ''huh no idea anyways i have to go-'' and jumps into Tartarus #but not before he gives Hazel essentially a detailed explanation of ''this is Percy i cant say much but please dont let him die <3'' #and Nico's whole Tartarus trip was basically a whole ''im doing this so no one else has to'' #only for Percy and Annabeth to fall in like one book later and Nico proceeds to spend the next book internally screaming about it #and then Cupid calls him out on it and the next book #Nico's just like ''at this point im hoping i keel over within the next week just so i can force this dumb crush to chill the fuck out'' #Nico staring pointedly at Will: ''For my own sake i need to form another crush RIGHT NOW so i can finally get over Percy.'' #''this has been so bad for my health'' #Nico's crush on Percy is just too funny to me. horrible pick my guy. terrible job. love that for you. he could not be less interested. #Percy LITERALLY TRIES TO KILL NICO and ditch him in the underworld and Nico is somehow STILL like ''but i love him'' #Percy basically chokes him. beats up his dad. tells him ''go get smited by your dad for me.'' and ditches him. #and Nico's opinions/crush on him DO NOT CHANGE #though also Nico's reaction to Percy beating up his dad + skeletons is SO funny. his jaw is on the floor. he's flustered about it. #he just witnessed Percy be incredibly hot and proceeded to go ''yea i'll do anything for this man. collect reinforcements of 3 gods? sure'' #nico you absolute DISASTER with HORRIBLE TASTE. you can do better. raise your standards. #which tbh is funnier when you factor in sun and the star. Nico just wont stop crushing on guys who dislike him and everything he stands for

[absolutebl]

Because your opinion means a lot: Any chance you feel like sharing 5 upcoming BLs you're most excited about and why? And maybe as a bonus, something you think many BL watchers will love but that you will hate?

Ooooo, how exciting what a fun one. You sure you want this from me? I have very odd taste.

The 5 Upcoming BLs I'm Most Excited About

(this forced me to put together the 2024 Announced BLs list which is coming soon)

1 Spare Me Your Mercy

Increased rates of deaths in terminal patients has a police captain investigating the palliative care doctor with whom he's fallen in love. Their relationship deepens but the mystery persists, driven by mistrust.

Why? It's adapted from the novel Euthanasia by Sammon (Triage, Manner of Death) but more important, it stars some old guard BL actors: Tor Thanapob from Hormones as the doctor and (fuck me YES) Jaylerr from Great Men Academy and goddamn Grean Fictions as the captain!

2 Wandee Godday

GMMTV and AllThis Entertainment producing a very pulp offering with new pair, GreatInn doing high heat, boxer meets surgeon. It features a one night stand, fake relationship, and all the cheesiest of tropes. Also features Drake, Podd, and Thor+ pretty boy (be still my heart).

Why? This is totally my kind of BL even if it isn't GMMTV's style of BL, and it's GREAT, so I'm in.

3 The Next Prince (ZeeNew)

Domundi brings us more ZeeNew in a fantasy/historical set in a palace where Zee plays a knight and Nu a prince - YES PLEASE.

Why? I did not expect this pair to stick so I really hope this happens. Give us the Little Pink Riding Milk BL we deserve!

4 Lover Merman

Fantasy BL about a man who falls in love with a merman.

Why? I don't think it will be good but I LOVE merfolk.

5 Me and Who

Domundi for WeTV brings this adaptation of Wickedwish’s novel of the same name. It depicts a young man who dies and is reborn into the body of a billionaire heir. The heir happens to be engaged to a handsome man.

Why? I flipping LOVE this trope but I never expected to see it drive a BL.

10 I am cautious of but VERY intrigued

JAPAN'S Although I Love You and You AKA Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro ka

From YTV releasing 1/11 about Soga, who, after a divorce and relocation to Osaka, seeks solace in dining at 26-year-old Sakae's restaurant. Unbeknownst to Soga, Sakae sees him as more than just a regular customer.

TAIWAN's Love For Love's Sake

Based on the Manhwa Love Supremacy Zone by Hwacha, this will star actors Lee Tae Vin, Cha Jun Wan, Oh Min Su and Cha Woon Ki. The plot of the drama is based on Tae Myung Ha, a young man who is dropped into a game based off of a novel that he knows. His mission is to make another player, Cha Yeo Woon happy. Cha Yeo Woon is Myung-Has favourite character in the novel. But then the game starts going completely different from the novel.

City of Stars AKA Fueangnakorn

Star Hunter started filming this 12/23 about an actor falls in love with a programmer and the narrative intends to “explore the ramifications of being public figure in the social network era who must endure critics, bullying, and defamation.” Looks like another Lovely Writer, Call It What You Want sort of thing.

My Stand-In AKA My Stand In

Chinese IP ALERT! Adapted from the novel Professional Body Double (职业替身) by Shui Qiang Cheng (水千丞) stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please).

OMG Vampire AKA OMG! Vampire (LeeFrank)

Frank and Lee Long Shi are back only vampires now. So many vampires.

The Rebound (MeenPing)

VIU Basketball based romance staring Meen (a national basketball player, so yay for that).

We Are (PondPhuwin)

GMMTV's university friendship Bl featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawin - basically ALL in the good kind of messy friendship group (so more My Engineer and less Only Friends). Looks a bit like the Kiss series but everyone is gay. I'm IN! Trailer here.

Love Upon a Time (NetJames)

Domundi announced for 6/7/2023 then delayed to 2024. NetJames in a historical BL! Also feat Tonnam (Dr Sing from Triage).

Jack & Joker (YinWar)

DeHup brings us be gay, do crimes. Yin, War, Mark and a few other familiar faces doing Leverage but gayer. Yes, thank you, I will have that.

My Love Mix-Up Thai Remake (GemniForth)

GMMTV. Hum, well I do love this pair and I did like the original and maybe this time these characters will actually kiss? I'm actually fine with this pick-up. I kind of enjoy seeing different countries remake the same IP. Especially if it's IP I'm mostly unfazed by.

okay, Flynn fangirling over Darrington Dare might be the cutest thing ever

#the librarians #flynn carsen #noah wyle #like awww. he's obsessed with him 😌 I can relate #I'm not the biggest Flynn fan but he is adorable in this episode #also. that Darrington guy has the nicest arm hair I've ever seen. yeah I don't know either. it just looks really fluffy okay. #and. he is tall and kinda cute. and he is standing next to Jake. soo they are in love 🤷 #also also. Jake. I see you not rolling up your sleeves. that's highly unusual. hmm is someone insecure about his lack of fluffy arm hair? #sorry one day I will stop talking about how creepy the smoothness of his forearms is to me. but today is not that day. #it's just so funny I'm sorry #he could just stop shaving them (or whatever). then I'd stop talking about it. so. not my fault 🤷 #also Cassandra looks adorable in this scene so I didn't want to crop her out #and! I'm looking at this on my phone now and it's really really funny how pink my edits made his cheeks look. they were fine on my #laptop but tbh it's even funnier like this

[nostalgia-tblr]

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.

#I CANT STAND THE CONFUSION IN MY MIND #also i get why people wrote wanda/sylvie. they should go on a wholesome chick-flick revenge-quest together. and also they should kiss. #also i am now only *half* joking about thor being in love with mjolnir #it kept doing Christianity Bits which was quite awks. #not sure why it used the bit about building the church on a rock for some metal i mean wasn't jesus making a pun there? about peter? #i think Vision might be Jesus? or else he's Dr Manhattan who's done a first year philosophy course. could go either way on that tbh. #BUT TONY WAS THE BADDY RIGHT? WAS HE? WAS TONY THE BADDY OR NOT???? #with the homocidal glitches in what he thinks is his winning personality? #and all the weapons he's made and is in fact still making but now he only sells them to The Good Guys? #except look how easily they fall out with each other and also don't a lot of innocent bystanders die in their overly long action scenes? #also i need to write fic about whether mjolnir does in fact obey some unknown code that can be cracked if you set your mind to it #she does like Robot Jesus so apparently we can rely on her to make the major decisions from now on #the ending's a bit ominous - apparently someone's collecting those TVA paperweights to do... something? Oh no! :O #yeah i watched the MCU in the wrong order shut up this was inevitable and Marvisney should just embrace that at this point #(i know 'Marvisney' will never catch on but that will not stop me using it) #the loki series ending is but the latest installment of “unlimited power with no oversight is fine as long as the Good people have it” #UNLESS TONY WAS ACTUALLY THE BADDY. WHICH AS I MENTIONED I AM NOT AT ALL CLEAR ON. #maybe what i mean is was tony stark the baddy *on purpose*? #i only picked this one to watch next because tumblr gifsets told me thor wears a nice coat in it #which he does! but only for a small fraction of the film :( #journey into the mcu #the avengers (the marvel ones not the other ones)

listen. what y'all need to understand is that the hands down people who have made me feel the SAFEST as a trans man have been fat Black queers. white queers who try to police fat people and people of color out of queer spaces, y'all need to understand that you're ripping the heart and soul out of those spaces. it cannot be overstated that if you'd just pull your head out of your ass and look around at the other people in your community, if you'd just TRY to start working on yourself, you would be a LOT HAPPIER.

#the first man who ever looked at me and said youre a man now you need to start grooming yourself like one was a cis gay guy i worked with #the first person beyond my closest friends to stand up for my pronouns was a chubby bisexual Black girl who worked next door #like. maybe youre miserable and defensive because youve closed yourself off to everyone who could make you feel loved & wanted #and its a two way street! you have to be willing to show up for other people if you want them to show up for you! #thats why were a fucking COMMUNITY

The amount of copium T'Pring is ingesting in this scene is unprecedented and deeply sad especially paired with Spock immediately going "Yeah of course, you know me so well babe." Someone SAVE her. You HAVE to understand. He made out with Chapel IN FRONT OF HER and her response is to immediately rationalize both that action and the clear 'passion' she saw in it - then to have sex with him. HELP HER!!!!

#SNW #needed to make sure I was right about this conversation and I was #WOOF #star trek SNW #T'Pring #SNW Spock #<- different beast from TOS Spock like they're NOT the same person they're not even different versions of the same person #same with any TOS character vs any SNW counterpart - those are just ocs with the same names #which is WHY.......they should have just made NEW CHARACTERS!!! #T'Pring: -seeing Spock & Chapel making out- This iis part of some la r ger plan. It is. It's a plan. He's so good!! At planning. And ACTING #Stonn: -standing right next to her-.................. #T'Pring: He LOOKS like he's cheating on me because of his passion. His half human passion. We love each other. He loves me. #Stonn: ............................................................ #Spock in this scene and Spock in that scene playing chess with Chapel like 'We need to do the right thing and tell Starfleet about our #relationship' oh you need to tell STARFLEET??????? #Hey Spock #Hey #You think you might need to tell your FIANCEE??????? About your RELATIONSHIP with Chapel?????????????????? #You think T'Pring might need to know about that???? No??? Ok #INSANE writing that they didn't even have him HINT at her presence. It's as if T'Pring doesn't exist if she isn't literally right in front #of him #how much T'Pring trusts and tries to connect with SNW Spock vs how he gen-u-inely doesn't seem to care about her literally at ALL #<- I'm screaming #Guy who only treats you like an adversary or inconvenience except when you might break up with him

is everything terrible or is it just the damp of the first spring rain

#no but really. I adore this moment so much #because it’s eowyn’s whole problem and the problem of her circumstances in microcosm #she is alone and cold. the city has fallen silent. there’s no one there. there’s no one to balance out her view #there’s no one to stand next to her and see things for what they are #yes—painful dark difficult #but also. sometimes just in process #sometimes just hidden in shadow #sometimes just the curve of the valley #sometimes just the damp of the first spring rain!!!!!!!!!!! #you can’t see that truth on your own and if you try to be positive you tip into delusion #you can’t achieve balance on your own. and so just. #him stepping up to stand next to her. his hand going into hers. saying I do not believe this darkness will endure #it just rights the ship of her soul in a way that hasn’t happened yet #because no one has ever stood beside her #or maybe it’s a part of the righting of her soul—Theoden and Eomer both have their moments where they draw near her and around her #in a way they didn’t (couldn’t? didn’t?) before #but then he’s just the last piece. someone from outside. someone who sees her with such clear eyes. who loves her with such a hopeful heart #and all of her angst just washes away #sorry I’m just having a breakdown over here #Eowyn’s story kills me. I think about it all the time. I think about her isolation and her innocence and her bravery and her vulnerability #and her unsteadiness and her desire for glory and how pure and bright and vivid like flame she is and Faramir just being there to catch her #and let her be who she actually is. I JUST——— #lotr liveblogging

2009 Brazilian Grand Prix - Mark Webber

#i thought mark deserved some gifs as well bcs even tho he won the race all the focus was on jense haha #the worst was when he got up to stand on top of his car and celebrate and then the feed instantly cut to jense pulling into parc ferme ;; #mark wins his 2nd gp and gets like probably a minute of podium footage LMAO #anyways i like the third gif bcs he looks like in a video game where the character's expression glitched #mark please talk with your hands more cmon i know you love it #the two moments where his hands are in frame absolutely had to be included(dedicated to dru hehehe) #(as always: my god the lighting in these pressers is absolutely horrible) #(it just makes everyone look so washed out and ghoulish LMAO) #(i said this before but still it astounds me. every time before i recolor them im like '...wait do i rly find this guy attractive?') #also i meant to finish this season during summer break but ran out of time!! so ig AD will be next week? #i could do it but like i dont wanna clash w zandvoort and ik its a podium i will rly like too so i dont wanna rush it #but ughhhhhh why does f1 coming back from break have to coincide with my school coming back from break #mark webber #f1 #formula 1 #formula one #we do a little bit of f1 #2009 brazilian gp

I am a heavy multishipper, and I respect every ship I see as long as it's not romanticize anything bad (like inc3st and p3dophilia)

I love Izuocha as much as I love Bakudeku, but it's so funny seeing other izuocha shippers saying that its so obviously endgame cause it shows they're not actually paying any bit of attention to the manga.

I'm not even mentioning the bakudeku and togachako hints going on in recent events; there is a full scene of Ochako addressing the possibility of her admiration of Deku being mistaken for attraction, and putting away ideas of romance so that she can make herself a hero instead of being Izuku's shadow like she's been doing. People have to recognize and understand scenes like that, even if it goes against their ship or they don't like alternative ships.

Adding on to this put into perspective the fact that Izuku literally lost control of his heart over Katsuki 3 times, and the villain goes after Katsuki to get to Izuku (just like he did to Nana's husband) verbally stating that he's "Closest to Izuku". Now take all of this to account and imagine Izuku and Ochako getting together. You see how that would be a strain? Platonic or not Katsuki would be above anyone else to Izuku, and that's going to mess up any romantic relationship Izuku might have. Ochako probably wouldn't want to go in a relationship knowing the childhood friend would be his first.

#it just annoys me when people completely ignore canon situations because it puts their ship at risk #especially with the recent picture of izuku and ochako when hori was promoting the manga for free #all theyre doing is standing next to each other #izuku is the main character and ocha is a gag because shes the poor character #so screaming in other shipper's faces saying that gag art like that makes it canon is very ignorant #its nothing to do with specific ships its just ignoring actual character feelings to make room for your idea of romance #i would love izuocha to get together #its just not likely now #bnha #boku no hero academia #mha #my hero academia #mha manga #izuku midoriya #ochako uraraka #bakugo katsuki #bakudeku #izuocha #bkdk #izoch

Peace and love on planet Earth but if I see one more post NOT about recovery and, in fact, encouraging eating disorders in the ed recovery tag, I might just turn into a chimpanzee and tear everyone's faces off.

#ed recovery #are you people for real? #ONE. I'm asking for ONE tag. #how tone-deaf and cruel do you have to be to post your active ed behaviour absolutely without any trigger warnings #or forewords #you know what i foolishly expect in the es recovery tag? ed recovery. yes i know very presumptuous of me. #i expect people who are trying to recover or are in recovery sharing their experiences and maybe some body positivity #talking about how hard recovery can be; for example. etc etc. #you know what happens in the tag? of course you do. ana meal diaries. posts about nothing but how much you body check #talking about how much you hate yourself because you're trying to lose 10kg and yesterday you had a salad and now you're asking #for tips how to get better at restricting and continuing your ed. #everyone who does that is a ghoul. and I'm done being nice and ignoring that shit. #like. some fucking room check maybe? I'm sitting in my flat shaking from cold which is caused only partly by the room temperature #and I'm doing my best to avoid everyone i know because i can't stand the thought of them seeing my form and when someone #i know accidentally meets me on the street or somewhere i feel like shit because I'm disgusting and if it were up to me #i wouldn't even leave this flat at all. so you know. naturally. i try to get myself at least some form #of support. i try to look for positivity for people like me; who are trying to recover. i want an outside source to affirm that I am not #repulsive. that I'm not insane when i think that all bodies are cool and fascinating and that there's no way or shape anyone is #expecting me to be in order to earn their love or at least their lust. and what do i get instead? you ghouls #wonderful. lovely. think about all the people like me next time you decide to post that shit in the recovery tag. thanks.

[oifaaa]

i don’t get it becuase sure gale might be a nuanced character but so is snow, nuanced doesn’t mean you have to like them. not that you even have to justify not liking a character

Yeah like I get that gales been through a lot just like everyone who has lived in the districts (especially district 12) has been through alot it doesn't excuse his actions and honestly just for me personally he's not an interesting enough character for me to want to jump to his defence the most interesting thing about him to me is that he's meant to act as a this is what katniss could have become character which great but apart from that he's pretty bland

#ask #anon #i think also just for me #it is that hes always standing next to characters like katniss and peeta #and theyve been through so much #like not to equate trauma #but also yeah to equate trauma a wee bit lol #im joking #honestly the other half of it for me #is that i just dont like some of the interactions between gale and katniss #and that theres alot of other very nuanced characters in the hunger games #and the jokes making fun of gale are funny #but if you like him who am i to judge honestly #just like you dont need a reason to hate a character #you dont need to justify your love in a character
