I've seen some people say: “Trent shouldn’t have been gay, he should have just supported Colin anyway.” And it's such a weird (and bad) take.

Had Trent been straight we wouldn’t have gotten the scenes we did. Colin could have opened up and told Trent how he felt, but Trent wouldn’t have understood, he could have been supportive. But he wouldn’t understand where Colin is coming from. But because Trent is also gay he knows what it’s like being in the closet, living with fear and dread. Living with thoughts like “if I tell the people I love about my sexuality, will they hate me?”. You can’t get that from a straight ally, no matter how supportive and well meaning they are. Because they don't know what it's like. We need straight allies, we need all the straight allies we can get. But what Colin needs RIGHT NOW is someone who, while not a professional athlete, is involved in the world of football. Knows about homophobic fans, knows that there are a culture of toxic masculinity and homophobia in the clubs. That is why it’s important that Trent himself is gay.

Colin almost got runover by a cyclist in his desperate attempt to run away from Trent at the gay bar. But the relief when he understands what Trent is saying "I must have a good reason for that, mustn't I?" is so clear. Trent is also queer, Trent is safe, I can let Trent in.

And I think some people might read that line as "I haven't outed you because I'm gay too, but if I had been straight I would have" which isn't what Trent means, Trent is using that phrase to be subtle, to let Colin come to his own conclusion, because Colin is stressed out, he's scared. By letting Colin think for himself it gives Colin an opportunity to calm down (which is also why Trent holds his hands out as if calming a frightened animal, he also makes himself slightly smaller by bending his knees and leaning forward slightly). And he does, he realises what Trent is saying and he calms down. It's also an added layer of security it's not just, "I haven't outed you" it's "I haven't outed you because I am also queer". A straight person saying that they haven't outed you doesn't hold as much weight as a queer person saying it. Because you know that the queer person knows how important it is to be safe and to come out on your own terms wheras a straight person, especially an eager well meaning ally might try and encourage you to come out because "hey, it's gonna be fine", even when that's not the support you need at the moment (there are ofc exceptions, both when it comes to straight people and queer people).

But because Trent is also gay, Colin now has someone in his corner at work, who knows him, knows his secret. Who also carried that secret himself once. We’ll most likely get straight allies in the other players and the leaders at Richmond.

So no, Trent shouldn’t have been straight. Because that is not the support Colin needed at that moment. He needed queer solidarity.

#ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #colin hughes #trent crimm #I saw someone on reddit saying that this whole thing with colin being scared of coming out was a bad storyline in 2023 #because it's not a big deal #and I was baffled #thankfully some people called them out on that #because colin just wants to live his life #he says he doesn't want to be a spokesperson but that's what he'll become if he comes out whether he wants to or not #because he'll always be the first active gay premier league player #and it's also arrogant to say that it's accepted to be queer in 2023 so it's not a big deal #when queer and trans people are stripped of their rights and their right to express themselves in the US for example #and queer and trans people are killed all over the world simply because of their sexuality and/or gender identity #and even if you live in a fairly accepting country like I do for example #it's still the fear that YOUR OWN family and friends will reject you #because to quote monty python ''we're all individuals'' #it doesn't matter how accepting society at large is because society are made up of individuals who has their own beliefs #so no the world isn't as accepting as people are led to believe and that's what I mean when I talk about straight people #no matter how well-meaning they are they will have a hard time understanding #nicole watches stuff

Okay, so I know we all hate him, but Mahito is a legitimately brilliant villain...

#He's what happens when the trope of 'Villain just wanting to watch the world burn' is done right. #He's the embodiment of 'Fuck around and find out'. #Does he do morally incomprehensible things? Yes. Is that what makes him such a good bad guy? Also yes. #There's no arguing either... #90% of the fan base can't stand him and if that isn't proof of him being brilliantly written as a villain idk what is. #I think what I like the most about it is that there's no attempt to humanise or moralise him - at all. #He's bad. #Full stop. #And instead of making this reduce his character to one dimension; he's jam packed full of personality instead. #He's fun and carefree and silly - trying to figure out what else he can fuck up in the world. #He still has motivations and wants... Fuck; he even learns fear when he makes the mistake of touching Sakuna. #(This fear is also then his ultimate downfall as we realise it's his most defining trait...) #Also he's super fucking fun to watch in fights; lets be honest. #And his technique is cool as fuck. #Is this me coming out to say I'm kind of down for a bit of Mahito? #- Everyone look away - #Yes. Yes it is. #Is he a horrific; gross little gremlin man that deserves the worst and is probably responsible for killing your fave? #Yes. #Do I want to squish him into a little bottle and keep him on a shelf so I can shake him when I'm annoyed - #and let him out from time to time to have a little fun with? #Also; regrettably; yes.

> 3/4 of the posts are about st3ddie or just about steve

#saw one in which steve was like ''no robin you don't understand! i have never been loved! i don't know how that feels like!'' #i have several grips about that interpretation #going from the fact that's not true (dustin is clearly a big steve fan + robin herself cares about him deeply) #to the fact he probably wouldn't be introspective enough to voice his emotions this concisely not to mention he'd probably wouldn't take #a moment to realize he's never felt loved if that were the case. i mean. he could think that. when he's like 35 and more in touch with his #inner world. 19yo steve can't even get the hint that hitting on a girl who's already clearly taken (nancy) is wrong so like i don't expect #him to be that smart #but i can live with people having takes i don't agree with. my opinion doesn't have to be everyone else's opinion if you see steve that way #it fine #what bothered me was the fact he was saying this to a lesbian living in the 80s lmao #who tells him that 1) her whole life has been an error 2) she doesn't think he'd want to be close to her if he truly knew her and 3) #3) is paralyzed by fear of social suicide if she dares believe for even a second that the girl she likes may like her too #like i dont need people to do deep dives into robin lore and quote from memory lines from Surviving Hawkins abt robin feeling like she's #rotten inside. not supposed to have friends. feeling like something is wrong with her and that pushes people away etc etc #the fact that she's a lesbian should tell you enough abt who has the biggest chances of being loved 😭 #also bothered me that it showed up when looking up posts abt internalized homophobia because?? where's the internalized homophobia therw #unless it's gay steve feeling bad abt it in an AU (as if canon robin didn't go through it) #like look im not bothered to find steve-centric content in the robin tag cos people are gonna tag her in posts mentioning her. #she's his friend. #but there are barely any posts at all about robin's internalized homophobia. like i saw 2 or 3. compared to all the steve or steddie ones #where's the love for my babygirl 😭😭 #anti steddie #not really but y'know i don't wanna bother anyone #edit: the bit about there being like 3 posts on robin w internalized homophobia isn't exactly true. there are a few. but they still feel #drowned in st3ddie posts #like something isn't right here

MAG127, Remains To Be Seen: "[...] as we got closer I could see that it was a single tree that was burning. A gnarled and ancient elm, that sat removed from the rest of the forest. A small crowd surrounded the spectacle. One man, who I took to be a groundskeeper, stood closer than the others, with a lit torch in his hand. [...]

... All that I could get from him was a sense of… resignation, and the insistence that his master, who I took to be Albrecht, wanted the tree dead. I’m sure that he used that word, though. Not burned, not removed, or destroyed. Dead. I resolved to ask Albrecht about it when I saw him."

...and then we never heard from it again. This tree still confuses me!! I can't connect it conclusively to anything else, but there's such an emphasis placed on it that it feels like it has to be important!

The motif of a big gnarly tree being burned echoes the tree at Hilltop Road, so even though there are no spiders, something about it feels Webby - as does the way Fanshawe mentions it, says he wants to ask Albrecht about it, and then seems to completely forget about it...

...that's a very weak connection at best, when there aren't any other indications that the Web is involved with the Von Closens at that time and place. So what else could it be? Fire could indicate the Desolation, but that has the same problem of not being mentioned otherwise, plus just burning down one (1) tree doesn't really seem like its style to do, unless this specific tree means something;

Trees and fire are also reminiscent of Gertrude's protection circle from s1, though, again, that's Web & Desolation duking it out. The tree at HTR also seemed to be connected to Agnes' death in some way, she died when it was cut down. Maybe this tree is also protecting someone, but who? why? how? Albrecht? That makes no sense, at the very least unless "the Master" is referring to someone else, but that really just opens more questions than it answers!

Maybe the tree is meant to signify another 'rift' between worlds, and it links up to the vague implication that maybe the Von Closens seemed to be unable to get children in s1, but evidently had them later on. And maybe the bastard prince actually came through from another dimension as well.... However, that's still a very big leap to take just from one odd tree and two 'mysteries' that aren't really mysteries and didn't really need solving in the first place

I'd be curious to know if this was a plot hook for future episodes which never materialized into something more, or if I'm just missing something here. anyone else have a solid theory? @a-mag-a-day

#tma meta #tma theory #i mean if it is the web it could just be the web scheming BUT #tma isn't a record of real events and basically any other web mention does 1 or both of 2 things: #clearly feed the fear of manipulation/spiders in some way #or further the grand plan to mark jon/someone; end the world; spread to other dimensions #this would be neither #but the tree gets two whole paragraphs to himself! why is he so important! why did he need to die! #tma s5 #tma #the magnus archives #mag127 #joos yaps #new v serious theory: the tree itself is an avatar. who says only animals can feel fear #this is meant to show that even plants can be evil #the web #the desolation #a mag a day

leaving for college tomorrow... it doesn't feel real at all :')

#am I excited. idk. mostly I feel terrified and confused. #I got together with a friend the other night and he straight-up asked 'do you *want* to go to college??' and I was like '....yeah. I think. #I mean I need to go.' #and that's all I've got right now tbh. #it's going to be ok. I keep having people tell me that. people keep telling me that I'm going to be fine. #that I have a history of making good choices and I should stop second-guessing myself and everything around me. #but isn't that pride? to believe you'll make it out alright? shouldn't you always be a little bit afraid? #but I'm sick to death of being afraid. #I've wondered around in fear for ever it feels like. I'm ready to grow up and get out of it. #I'm ready to live in the real world. the question is how. #gurt says stuff #personal #college survival

Just so you know, Farkas is the ultimate girl dad.

#he was made for it! they put flowers in his beard while he braids their hair #he believes in them and will defend them with his life #maaaaybe he has it in him to father a son #( biologically i mean ) #but i’m honestly not convinced #and you know what? he isn't one of those men who would feel he was ' missing out ' in any way #he wouldn't change them for the world #there is a whole headcanon i need to write up about farkas' attitude to the possibility of fatherhood #and his fear that his children will be infected with his lycanthropy #it is the sort of thing he feels they should have a choice over and not have foisted upon them #✶ headcanon — a wolf when the wolfbane blooms

Yoo Joonghyuk watched our companions behind me. "The one who can save the world… it might be you, not me." Lee Hyunsung, Lee Jihye, Shin Yoosung, Lee Seolhwa… There was deep regret in Yoo Joonghyuk's eyes as he gazed at every single person. I seemed to know what he was thinking. 「 There have never been so many people who made it to here. And maybe it won't happen again in the future. 」

tfw you not only make the protagonist care about you, you make him believe in you

tfw you give him hope that maybe this is the world that'll see the end of the scenarios

tfw you've reminded him, time and time again, that maybe saving as many people as possible isn't just an unintended side effect but the main goal and now he's looking around at all the people you've managed to bring this far

tfw this is results in the absolute last thing you could ever want

#never would I have thought that I'd regret dokja reminding yjh of how much he actually cares about people deep down inside #ugh the scene in Paradise where yjh realizes that there's no point in saving the world if everyone dies and he tells them kdj saved them... #...it hits a bit different right now #I know yjh has tried to sacrifice himself before such as with 'the strongest in seoul' but I think that was tinged with regressor depressio #as well as his fear that everything was going to shit so maybe being forced to start over isn't such a bad idea #I do think that he's shown through the novel that he DOES care about people even if it's not all people all the time due to his trauma #orv spoilers #orv #orv novel chapter 185 #orv liveblog #omniscient reader's viewpoint #yjh #kdj

[tommyssupercoolblog]

not putting the reblog banner on this one bc it would feel disrespectful. anyway big fucking mood, felt in my soul. trying SO HARD not to think abt the drama rn.

#tommy's og art wow #tommy's OG ART wow #my hot take is that the VICTIM deserves support and is 100% valid. that was abusive. but that being said #this doesn't make THE GUY (iykyk) irredeemable forever because people can change; but- THE VICTIM still deserves #support and her experiences were absolutely horrible. no one deserves to be treated like that. my only hope is that 1) she heals #and 2) that THE GUY learns to have healthy relationships and not abuse others- finding other ways to deal with his mental illness. #he's been open about being toxic for awhile now; self awareness IS the first step to change but he seems to be resigned to it #but this behavior ISN'T inevitable. his mental illnesses absolutely make him prone to this #but healing- and becoming someone who wouldn't do this- isn't impossible. it'll always be something he can reach one day if he really tries #but clearly he's not there yet and shouldn't be like...in relationships (/r or /p) until he figures this out. and he needs to figure it out #THE VICTIM has all my love in the world. may she have happiness and healing in the future. this was like rlly awful #and to anyone who struggles with behaviors like that- you still matter and you won't be like this forever. but being afraid isn't enough #fear of being abusive isn't the same as taking pratical steps to ensure you don't repeat that cycle and hurt others. #recognition is the first step #but you have to brainstorm what you can do. how you can practice. how you can get better. and i believe you can. i believe anyone can. #lets hope my tags dont get cut off lol #anyway. yeah

Hi ! I'd like to know too for the ask game : 6, 13 and 26 ?

6. Is there a c!Dream scene/moment/action you would change?

Hmmmm I can't think of any, no. Mostly I think I would like some more in terms of follow-through w/ certain scenes, such as c!Endersmile the whole agreement with c!Dream + c!Foolish, the whole Aimsey debacle, stuff with c!Sapnap, but a lot of that was kinda beyond cc control. In terms of the stuff that seemed to be building somewhere that we didn't get I'd say what I miss the most is probably c!Wilbur getting involved w/ the prison arc, because damn it seemed like everyone involved wanted that badly but it just never worked out scheduling wise. Also, scrapped lore, but scrapped lore Is Canon. To Me.

In terms of actual scenes I would change...idk, LN5 c!Quackity and c!Dream showdown comes to mind? But that wasn't like bad, it was just because of internet issues there was a lot less of it than I would've liked. I wanted to see more c!Dream in the c!Dream vs c!Quackity showdown (tm), but as it is c!Dream blowing up a shit ton of slime and having a panic attack works perfectly well for me (it honestly hurt c!Q more than c!Dream, considering their stories, but again sometimes technical issues can't be helped.)

13. Since we rarely saw c!Dream's own POV, who was your main pov character/s?

Wherever c!Dream Was (tm).

For a more serious answer, especially in the early days I watched a lot of Tubbo. Fundy too, funnily enough? Wilbur as well, Tommy POV was probably what I watched the least at that point (unless Dream was online lmao). Lots of Punz watching too tbh when he was active on DSMP (and now, I've been watching Punz for a long time). Later on, still lots of Tubbo, more Tommy, I just kinda hopped onto whoever's stream at the time errrr I will not lie i was kinda a no life DSMP watcher for like all of 2020. Later on I watched a lot of Sam, Foolish, and Bad when they were the main three logging on. But yeah, basically whoever I could lmao

26. If c!Dream had to spend the rest of his life around only one other DSMP character, which one would you choose for him?

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰c!Sam🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I mean I do have an AU that's literally this exact concept what do u expect from me who am I if not giving c!Sam eeeeeeverything he could ever want (tm)

If I'm not literally torturing c!Dream, probably c!Techno XD

#dreblr ask game #my asks !! #ask game #thinks about c!dream in the finale ueueuue #remembering how it was to . Want To Live. oh my boy :[ #tbf in terms of like /healing/ that last question is a hard one to answer for me #idk c!dream kinda needs to live like. for himself yk. idk. #he's been in a really fucked place in his head and scrambling to Fix the Whole Fucking World #and he's like looked at himself like who he is in the mythos is all he can be #and look i think at the end of the day he needs idk. room to breathe. idk. to not be alone but also #to not like idk become consumed by this like idk intertwined mess of devotion and fear #like there's no really easy answer imo healing isn't exactly easy for him. at all. #he's been in the thick of a community where he was the scapegoat and the Cause Of All Evil and he's done a lot of shit things true #but he's also been treated in so many terrible ways and honestly just never really given a chance to be like. human #and there's a lot of paranoia and thought patterns divorced from reality and whatnot #anyway . all that being said. making him worse on the other hand is very easy #so yeahhhh [waves c!dream over c!sam's head like a new toy for a dog] WHOS A GOOD BOY

to whoever wrote donatella's pn wiki, i just wanna talk.

#i don't really believe *everything* raz says about his dad was just him misinterpreting events #and no this doesn't immediately equate augustus was abusive as he's clearly shown to have worked on himself and accept raz #if they were good memories i wouldn't have run away is extremely revealing line about the depths of augustus' anti-psychic sentiments #and how his behavior directly impacted raz and also dion and frazie in how they treat and ostracize raz out of perpetuated fear #and how all of this would create a whirlwind of negativity for raz while living at home because augustus *did* make him feel unwanted #also i think the 'scary psychic campfire storytelling time' is pretty telling of augustus too in how he would instill fear in his children #about psychics and how in turn this would make raz feel like he isn't wanted by his dad as he tried to explore powers that his father hates #yes they had 'secrets' and augustus wanted to 'protect raz' but that feeling of being unwanted and fearing his father was in there for pn1 #and it was a good thing that augustus immediately changed his tune! tho he as the dad didn't properly talk to his kids about his change #so dion and frazie are left with a jumbled mess of feelings about psychics and raz and etc #but please tell me how donatella is actually the most emotionally abusive woman in the world please inform me i just wanna know #edit - what she did do wrong was not stop augustus from spreading those very inflammatory anti-psychic sentiments #but to her defense - she was of the belief psychics harmed her husband and cursed her children to die in water #it's a reasonable and tragic fear and it's still on augustus' shoulders for how he treated raz and strengthened raz's fears of his own dad #donatella

I am delighted that we finally live in the era where the queerbaiting allegations are actually sometimes beaten. I love being wrong about queerbaiting and I love writers listening to fans or turning out to have actually been planning queer storylines all along. Its a lovely feeling.

#i don't often love being wrong but every time bait turns out to be a genuine queer storyline an angel gains their wings. #well. apart from cas. he lost his wings when he went queer but he is a statistical outlier #one day we'll stop being so jaded and fearful of baiting because the writers will treat us right. and today is a massive step forward #I'd say this is probably the biggest queerbait of the last several years? on tumblr at least #and it isn't queerbait. it isn't. i feel amazing even though i actively dislike the ship #all the shit going on in the world and this is such a tiny thing but it matters #it really does matter #911

The Tiktokers Are Saying That Romeo And Cinderella Is About Grooming

#HELLO???? NO IT FUCKING ISN'T??????? don't f w me when it comes to romeo and cinderella i'm literally named after that shit #inb4 i also know more abt grooming than the average tiktoker bc i was Literally In The Situation They Say Happened In The Song #ie. groomed by an older teenager when i was 13-14 #the entire claim is based around a. the romeo and juliet metaphor and a random ass claim about romeo's age (he doesn't have one but is. #based on context clues. two years older than her tops). and even if it was true r&j still wouldn't be abt grooming bc that would require it #writer to view the relationship as such. which shakespeare obv didn't. + it's not literally about r&j it's abt a teen girl comparing her #relationship to famous love stories and the pop cultural perception of them. b. the bit abt her parents not liking her 'romeo' when like #there are half a million reasons someone's parents could disapprove of their relationship that don't involve an age gap. also the parents #are shown to be v overbearing throughout the song so like . if anyone is mistreating her it's them. c. any of the various childlike #references. she's a teenager reaching for the adult world while still experiencing childlike naivete. this is to emphasize that. it doesn't #mean that she's secretly younger or anything. d. the school uniform line. she means that she's willing to run away at a moment's notice #without looking back home to go get her real clothes so that her parents could have the chance to stop her. it's a statement of devotion an #there's nothing to imply that romeo isn't also dressed in a school uniform. e. the you'll hate me line. a major part of the song is her #internal conflict of having to choose between her parents and romeo. her concern isn't based on the idea that if she does something wrong #romeo will hate her it's based on the fear that her indecision will hurt romeo's feelings. which is seen again in me and juliet. the #official sequel song. which is about how after they run away together she becomes overwhelmed by her internal conflict bc it didn't just go #away after she made her choice and she still loves her parents enough to question it. and finally f. the wolf line. which is about her #indecision. it's about her indecision. if romeo doesn't whisk her away quickly enough while she's leaning in that direction she feels she'l #have more time to doubt herself and it'll eat her up inside. it's a common metaphor babes and it's LITERALLY WHAT THE SEQUEL SONG IS ABOUT #romeo.txt

balthier.... the girl almost died balthier. come on get it together man.

#this is also a call out for ME I was crying before this scene but then she was fine and balthier said that #and I switched SO FAST to giggling. he can't keep fran out of his mind. insane. get a room. or not I don't mind. who said that #this one goes to the the list of “fran hasn't said shit but balthier insists in including/complimenting/teasing her in the conversation” #for a character that talks so much he talks a lot more about her than I expected like not being prompted AT ALL #it's so cute she think's fran is foolhardy... you'd expect he would be the most reckless of the two of them but thinking abt it hes actuall #so paranoid with some stuff... makes sense why he would think her to be reckless. #maybe he was just talking abt running away from the forest but I mean he IS a sky pirate. he isn't home anymore wherever that place might b #so I don't think he would think running away is wild so idk. cute. everytime he talks abt her to others when fran is like RIGHT THERE #I get all sort of emotions. giggles. they mean so much to me. #also for more updates: i'm more obsessed with fran's VA by the day. the voice crack on “I fear..
