the best thing about going through old posts from 2012 is remembering how people on tumblr and the internet in general back then spoke EVERY other WORD in CAPS LOCK while reacting to things they vaguely liked as if oh my god. OH MY GOD. IT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!!!!! while PUNCTUATING THEIR SENTENCES with EXCLAMATIONS!!! but never splitting apart sentences word by word with them as we do more often now and instead

with quirky visual references to accompany this fanciful theater kid julliard applicant text. 2012 was the year of the theater kids and everyone including the theater kids knew it. and nowadays online we're all just lowercase derailing train of thought no punctuation no excitement just mumbling quietly to ourselves snarky hipsters and even when we get exCITED@!!! like this it's intentionally bungled so it's less of you being genuinely enthusiastic and more of you putting on a voice so that you can have the copout of being satirical about being enthusiastic. and this is due to the post-2015 mass surgence of dave strider influenced transmascs being released to mingle with the rest of society coinciding with the great cringe culture epidemic of the mid-2010s. in this essay i will

Marc must have gotten some sign of defrosting from Vale istg because in his documentary he was fully prepared to go I don't give a fuck anymore. And he had full vontrol over his doc
But now in the dazn interview he goes like... well its up to him because the door of reconciliation is open
lobs a nuance grenade SORRY... so this IS kind of aligned with how he's acted/talked about valentino since the divorce with the notable exception of that doc (and misano 2019 lol) which is a setting where he had complete authorial control. like it makes sense to me that he's making an effort to avoid any potential negative soundbites to get slapped on headlines (and. well. consistently saying vale is the angry one DOES make vale seem more unreasonable here. marc's like IM not mad UR the one being crazy...), but i ALSO think he keeps it positive because rehashing it HURTS. like i think he will only let out how painful the whole thing was for him in a situation where no one can possibly ask him any follow up because it would literally feel like open heart surgery.
it is also notable to me is how vale and marc's strategies in avoiding those kinds of soundbites are SUPER different... like when he's asked about marc in interviews now, usually valentino always gives a vague compliment about marc's riding style and then immediately changes the subject. MARC on the other hand, has an entirely different game plan that tbqh i think kind of runs away from him sometimes. like he always starts with. 1. he was my hero and my idol and is so charismatic and i wanted to fuck him so bad. 2. EYE dont have any issues with him that's all in his brain. and then 3. valentino PLEASEEE call me back. and in THIS video he is NOTABLY effusive oh my god. jesus christ. like yeah keep it positive do all that PR stuff but marc my man you dontttt need to monologue for two whole minutes on how obsessed with him you are while holding a photo of you looking at him contemplating dick in silence. like whats wrong with you lol.... never has anyone begged more publicly for old man dick

Kaiju No.8 #1
Key Animation: Osamu Tanabe
I'm not gonna lie and say I was familiar with Tanabe's work before watching the premier-- Yes. Feel free to boo me-- at the bare minimum I knew he was an Ex-Ghibli... But my knowledge starts and ends there. Still, a standout piece of animation from an opener that was already flexing it's animation muscles. Tanabe's drawings are loose, but the weighty timing is what grounds and humanizes them. Capturing the normalcy of urban life before disaster strikes.

I wish people who do not believe women are, as a class, oppressed by men would just stop referring to themselves as feminists

yknow what in retrospect i'm kind of glad the "i love you" got cut from goodbye stranger simply because if they'd included a canon love confession on top of all the blatant romantic subtext of season 8 and then gone "lol they're just friends destiel isn't real you freaks" i would have blown up the earth

Twitter is a cesspool honestly, it just feeds on negativity and breeds negativity. Thirteen years I've been a fan of Anna Torv, THIRTEEN YEARS and I've been nothing but respectful towards her as human, if not a bit intense at times because that's what we do as fangirls. Yet in less than a year on twitter I've been made to feel like a creep, judged and talked about (not to mention actively ignored) by people who discovered she existed 6 months ago.
I'm not saying this in a 'fans are better when they've been fans longer' way, that's a stupid notion. But I do think that when you've been fan for a long time, there is a history there, literal years that show how we've behaved through the ages. And context for why some things happened.
You can disagree with some of my choices, I am self-aware enough to realize that if you're not in my head, you don't know why I do things/react the way I do, but I *know* I've been as decent as I could be, I've adjusted my attitude whenever necessary, and I've certainly never, ever meant to do anything Anna herself would find disrespectful.
