why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

I just started reading the svsss volumes (and re-read them again because A LOT IS GOING ON) but like. This shit is so hysterically funny I don't even know where to begin.
Was no one????? Going to tell me that one of the cornerstone jokes in the damn series is that lbh's adoration for his one and only 'tism person who literally cannot express his emotions to save his life is basically genetic?????????
Was no one???? No one AT ALL going to tell me that Mobei-Jun straight up yeets Airplane at the problem in one of the scenes?????? And that in the most hilarious twist of fate Airplane then unyeets Mobei-Jun not twenty minutes later?????
It's one thing to see people joke about sqq and lbh being unable to communicate but it's on a league of its own when you have to read HUNDREDS OF PAGES of sqq's inner monologue be like 'that's my darling boy. my baby. my sugar plum pumpy umpkin you're my sweetie pie' but on the outside he says "get lost binghe" and somehow deems that an effective expression of his affection that lbh will surely understand. 'Why is lbh whining and crying and tugging at my sleeve like a plaintive wife, why is he so angry?' Sqq asks, the entire circus, as lbh is about to fling himself off a cliff for attention--
In short, MXTX is the queer comedian of our generation and nobody appreciates her enough

(go on and) kiss the boy
“So,” Mike starts, drawing out the word, and Will turns to him.
“Any ideas on how to spend the next fifteen minutes?”
It’s teasing, suggestive when he wiggles his eyebrows, and it’s so unexpected that Will lets out a surprised laugh, unabashed, and it’s so easy, how the tension falls away, and it’s only them again.
“You’re ridiculous,” Will shakes his head, smiling, but Mike looks proud of himself anyway.
He points out, “I don’t hear you complaining.”
Will scoffs, nudging at him with an elbow. “Whatever,” he smoothly replies. Mike grins.
Will, Mike, and the numerous attempts at their first kiss.

It's so funny because the posts about "making Buck's queerness about someone else" are often made by the same people who describe Eddie like "he's the maker of his own unhappiness, he'll be sad about seeing Buck in couple, but that'll make him realize, and he'll finally get to be happy". Like??? double standards much lmao
No, because the posts come from people who want the show to make Eddie gay already so that he will have never loved Shannon and Buck is the only person for him ever. Buck needs to explore and love and hookup and Eddie is somehow not even allowed to have loved his late wife because then his existence wouldn't be about Buck. Because how dare Eddie not just sit in his ass for 30+ years waiting for Buck to get his shit together. How dare he try to make a relationship work. How dare he make mistakes and have a life. Buck can and should date all of Los Angeles greater area but the second Eddie stands next to someone else he is a horrible person who's abandoning Buck. And somehow I'm being weird. I will be honest, fanon takes on T is making me hate the guy. He is this close to reaching Abby in my hatred scale of characters in this show because of fandom. People are forcing me to fucking defend Taylor Kelly because somehow the only problem in that relationship now for this people was the fact that she was a woman. You can't point out a single flaw in the relationship without being called a hater and bitter and that's the mild terms. Somehow buddies are annoying and trying to lock Buck onto Eddie when some people saw Buck kiss one white guy and suddenly they want Eddie to die so BT will get married and raise Chris themselves (yes, I've seen this post. More than once). Somehow I'm the weird one. I'm the annoying one. I'm the one locking a character's journey into someone else. I'm no fun. I don't know how to exist in fandom. Sure. This is ridiculous. I wanna see what will happen when they break up. When the six seasons worth of buildup for buddie gets a payoff. Oliver kissed a guy and suddenly people lost the ability to think critically. Fucking hell.
