I knew I didn't like TS/Swifites when last year, they were trying to say one of her songs was about Zac Efron and harassing him ya know, after he came out about his anxiety and addiction issues. It's why I could never get behind that Jake hate train since the worst thing he did was break up with her. If people want to harp on age gap, then ask Taylor why she dated minors when she was 21/22

Not so long ago this little plot came into my head: little Jake is an absolute car genius HAHAHA he can completely take apart a whole car and put it back together correctly! He knows the names of every single detail, and he's extremely skilled in mechanics in general! The ultimate car nerd..
Imagine the surprise when MK system have a badly broken car in the middle of nowhere and Jake’s just: oh u idiotas give me the body
And just fixes everything in seconds
Marc&Steven’s honest reaction:😮😮
also! it's Marc's car, but it's still working ONLY because of Jake HAHA every time Mark destroyed this poor machine, Jake just stepped in and did mechanic miracles to it.. Marc always thought that it's just a really good car that's it……

I actually had more sympathy for Jesse’s parents on this rewatch. Like overall they’re not some abusive monsters who never cared about him. They very obviously DO care about him. Their house felt safe enough to Jesse that he went there when the meth had him feeling paranoid and strung out. When Jesse calls his dad after being questioned by the DEA he mentions getting a job “in data entry, like we talked about”, and Jesse’s mom says “I can’t do this again”, and Jake says Jesse’s all they ever talk about, so they’re obviously in a cycle of trying to help Jesse and seeing him go back to drugs. It’s easy for us to kind of forget the ramifications, because of the scope of the show and because we love Jesse and are seeing his POV and definitely because Aaron Paul’s teeth and skin are nice lol, but Jesse is addicted to crystal meth. And he’s SELLING crystal meth! This is not just weed. It’s a pretty big fucking deal. And his parents talk about getting him help, and they let him come inside and sleep and eat a few meals and wash his clothes. Maybe you could consider that the bare minimum, but it is something. When Hank is talking to Jesse’s mom, she’s not dismissive of Jesse or uncaring. She’s obviously very sad about the state of Jesse’s life, and when she starts to clock that Hank’s investigating Jesse, she gets protective and makes Hank leave. They evicted Jesse from his aunt’s house, but to give them a bit of grace, his mom did find his literal meth lab in the basement lmao. Which they threatened to tell the DEA about but never actually did. They seem to be in that place with an addict where you’re trying to balance giving support without enabling; his dad even says they need to try tough love. (Personally I think it shows they don’t really know Jesse all that well because tough love is not the right method for him, but they probably feel like they’ve tried everything else.) When Jesse’s talking about that perfect box he made in shop, his initial lie is that he gave it to his mom, and when he tells the truth it’s clear he really regrets that he didn’t actually do that. In El Camino, I really think they want him to turn himself in because they think he’ll be safer and maybe they think he’ll get some leeway if he turns himself in rather than getting caught. It doesn’t seem like they call the cops when he calls and asks them to come get him; they rush out right away and all the police are in regular, unmarked cars.
But….
I can never give them grace or forgive them for that car decal that was Mom, Dad, and Jake but no Jesse. Like what the hell is that?? And it seems absolutely outrageous to me that his parents, with everything that happened between them and everything they’re seeing on the news, took the opportunity to talk to him and only said “turn yourself in.” No “I love you.” No “be safe.” His dad saying they hadn’t talked to him in a long time, since “way before all this” really rankled, too. They purposefully distanced themselves from him. They made sure to say on the news that they’re not involved in this because they’re not in his life. I really do think they cared and were scared for him. But at every turn it just seemed like they didn’t care enough to actually understand what he needed or how to get through to him.

it's a dangerous drug, the fact the riverkids are the same age as me (besides the timeline madness. for the point of this post we have to operate exclusively under the They Were Born In 2001 thing). a dangerous drug, thinking about what media phases i lived thru that they also surely did. like jughead and toni DO know fnaf lore. so it is incredibly reasonable and realistic to say that yes, jughead read homestuck. yes, jughead kinned dirk strider. and it's incredibly reasonable to say that yes, summer before senior year jughead DID play 3hoes when it came out, and DOES also kin hubert von vestra. also reasonable to say in 8th grade the gang played undertale. jughead wanted to do all the routes for completionism. betty exclusively did genocide. archie couldn't bear to do anything but true pacifist. etc etc etc

I started to pull away, but then I hesitated. It was a strange moment, because right then I realized what I was doing. It hit me. This tiger was becoming part of me. All that power and confidence was becoming part of me.
"He's beautiful, isn't he?" I said.
I expected Marco to say something sarcastic. But he said, "Yes. He's magnificent."
-#1: The Invasion
Listen. LISTEN.
You know that trope where one character goes "isn't this a beautiful sunset?" and then the other character looks directly at them instead of at the sunset and says "Yes." ?????
This is Marco doing that to Jake, about Jake's battle morph, and god I have so many feelings about it

Went to actually write the OAA thing and made the mistake of doing it in tumblr instead of my notes app. I had saved some of it in my drafts but I lost a good chunk of it when the app decided to randomly refresh and not save my work. That’s on me, obviously, but now I’m disgusted lmao

It probably does affect my fondness for Henry V a bit that, on top of all other factors (including ‘once more into the breach’ being our first wifi password when the house got wifi, years and years ago,) I was introduced to it as a symbol of one man’s resistance against an alien brain slug controlling his body, because the brain slug couldn’t control his thoughts so he could at least run Henry V’s monologues at the brain slug on loop. This continued until the brain slug was so sick of hearing it that, when he got the ability to travel back in time to make a more Yeerk-friendly present day, one of his stops was the Battle of Agincourt specifically to make Henry V lose the battle so that Shakespeare wouldn’t write a play about it, just to spite his host.
The book ends with the man preventing his parents from meeting so that he will never be born and the alien brain slug that parasitized him can’t time travel. So you know, a typical Animorphs special.

hey yknow what would be fucked up
if you were in a time loop and conscious of it but not the one the time loop was running on. You’re just trapped in all your previous decisions but you’re in there. Unable to affect the time loop but Conscious of it.

It’s m* Kenzie not liking his last three photos but commenting on his last post passive aggressively
Like sweetie if he broke up with you move on! He saw what you did and continued to do with him (grooming, manipulating etc) and he got sick of it.
MOVE ON LEAVE THE POOR GUY ALONE.
But then I guess she’s not getting the clout she so craves now.
no literally you're so right.
i think she picks and chooses when she wants to latch onto him like a fucking leech. and i definitely think she cares way more about clout than their relationship like is it not weird to anyone else that she constantly posts about her follower count or how many likes she gets??? she's like what? 26? come on now.
her entire persona just gives me the ick idek
