[myrabbitistrying2killme]

Someone on tiktok just posted that ao3 should have more censorship bc they see tags like #tagtheydontliie/thinkisbad but not #tagidontlike/thinkisbadDNI

I do not think they functionally understand ao3

please god just use the tagging system and stop moralizing the story website

#like yeah girl there are know dni tags wtf #there are warnings but this is a fanfiction website #they’re arguing there should be censorship bc you still see things you don’t wanna see bc improper tags but that literally happens on #many other social medias #censorship in fanfiction websites is a slippery slope of what should be censored #archive of our own #ao3 #idk how other people feel about this but just #ugh

I have so many thoughts about mlp, especially trixie

#deity dialogue #mlp had an ‘I hate magicians’ agenda #justice for trixie all she wanted to do was put on magic shows to entertain and inspire :/ #she quite literally wasn’t hurting anyone until someponies showed up and started acting like she was being an evil liar #y’all ain’t never heard of magicians??? :/ #I feel like in my own imagining of mlp it would go like this #twilight thinks there’s right and wrong ways to do magic and doesn’t like how trixie does magic and gets upset about that #limited worldview that she needs to move on from #applejack would see the act as deceitful and lying and get upset #pinkie would love the show because she knows what acts are #fluttershy would also find it nice #rainbow dash supports her friends and if they’re mad so is she basicaly #idk where rarity stands #and basically the episode would be about acknowledging that sometimes you’re wrong and can just hurt people and lash out because of it #and like basically them going ‘hey we were really rude and hurtful to trixie’ #like hey started shit first from what I remember then trixie acted accordingly #like idk y’all started bothering her at her own damn show unprompted for what reason? yeah she did magic shit to y’all but it can be argued #that one it was because it was a part of the show to her and two it was because y’all were acting out first #thank you for coming to my Ted talk

I think the most irrelevant argument happening rn is the definition of punk, like it is mostly angry dudes who are angry about whatever establishment issue they’ve latched onto, some of them are just rude and many of them are literal Nazis, idk what to tell you

#this is TSwifts fault tho #punk hasn’t been a real movement in decades #at least not in the majority of places maybe the Pacific Northwest and NYC still has some idk #no idea what it’s like in the UK #I think people are arguing about two different things #historical meaning and current ‘proper’ use of the term #but think they’re having the same argument #.txt

man I wanna get in fh related fandom discourse but in like a quiet way where we all go around and directly share notes with one another. maybe a power point presentation is involved

#^ this is literally just. a debate. or a discussion. There are words for this #Ive noticed there are more or less like. Three distinct stances on fh people take depending on who they gaf about #I dont want to start Real Petty Discourse is the issue I just want to have a conversation… I want it so dearly… #I see fh fans get mad about toxic!fh takes and state that its wildly inaccurate. and I feel the need to argue but then its like well #I take a step back and go okay I see where theyre coming from actually. because a lot of toxic!fh takes are made with like. #only sad jimmy angst in mind. and so scott becomes the villain for those fics and I look at them and go. he would not fucking say that #BUT THEN ALSOOO I get where THATS coming from too because he’s very mean to jimmy in DL so when people want to write their sad jimmy fics #of course that’s where they’re going to go. because something is off about traffic!FH its true #so rancher shippers and such see that and go oh okay and run with it #Its just. Very interesting all around? #deranged.fh.posting #idk if anyone gets what im talking about. I look at the fh tag pretty often and used to be pretty into rancher fics myself so— #My conclusions are based on that #bree barks so fucking loud

it’s so crazy seeing “lawlight antis” claiming that the ship is problematic because of their age gap and not because those men are actively trying to have the other killed 😭

#nothing wrong with disliking a ship!! #but it’s funny that THAT is the reason #when L and Light canonically want the other dead #death note #lawlight #i see people argue on tiktok a lot about this lol #like…. the AGE GAP is what’s problematic?? #i love lawlight lol but even i can admit that there would be some issues with them together lmao #not bc of their ages but because Light literally had L killed #idk the age gap is just such a weird thing to be mad over when they’re both of age

i can’t tell you how much i usually hate these ignoring, distancing plots in shows and how much i absolutely adore everything about these 2 episodes of the eighth sense. like im not having a good time, and it’s fantastic.

bc the thing is, in all of this, i can’t see the right way to go, i can’t find the person to blame, i can’t find the way to make it better. I can’t single out a single moment or a thing someone did and say “this is why everything went wrong”. it’s just this coming together and rise and swell of things happening and people feeling things that has us ending up here and it feels beautifully and horribly organic bc we can’t find that point where it all went wrong. was it on that rooftop? was it at the beach? was it when they first met? was it when his brother died? was it when he was born into this family? there is no single point. it’s all of them and it’s none of them. there is truly nothing and no one to blame. and there are bad characters in the show, people you can hate, eunji and taehyung, but neither of them are to blame for any of the bad stuff that happens in the show. you’re not waiting for them to be taken down bc that doesn’t solve anything. instead, it’s just two people hurting, and not knowing how to make it better.

bc you take jaewon, and after what he says at the end of ep 8, you want to hate him, you want to be so angry at him for what he says, for how he acts, how dismissive and hurtful he is, and yet you’ve been made to understand 100% why, and not just in a “i get it but that wasn’t the right thing to do” way, in a “that was horrible and yet i know he doesn’t see any other way to handle this” way. like you don’t see this as a misstep, or a step to far, bc you know for him, in his state of mind, it is completely justified, it’s necessary. bc it not only punishes the person he blames for all of this, himself, but he sees it as a way to protect jihyun. and not even in a cliche “bad things happen when people around me, the people I love always get hurt” kinda way, but more so in that he sees that he is a scared, messy, struggling person that doesn’t know how to handle himself, and doesn’t want to inflict that on anyone, let alone the person he cares about. so what’s worse, a quick, swift blow that hurts but cuts everything off cleanly, or this prolonged relationship where he inevitably continues to weigh jihyun down with the weight of his trauma, and take it out on him. what’s the point of having a place of refuge when you ruin it more and more every time you depend on it, until it eventually can’t offer you comfort. it’s a lesser of two evils, jaewon’s choice is obvious to him.

but then you take jihyun. and we talk about masks and fronts but we never once question whether jihyun wears a mask bc he appears so sweet and innocent and naive, what can this boy possibly be putting up a front for. but i see it, this almost fake it till you make it confidence front that yes is becoming more natural. but my god just think about what he’s gone through for a second. think about it. left home for the first time in his life, moved to an unfamiliar and intimidating city with only one other person he knows, started a new job, started university, tried to build relationships, met a man that intrigues him, and perused him only to be kissed and then ignored, then maybe establish something tentative, only to then see him spiral, go on a trip where he shared his trauma, you have an intimate night together only to almost die, and then be not only ignored, but plain and simple rejected and pushed away. like… you can say all you want about jihyun growing as a person and having more courage, but no amount of growth for however many months this has been going on for can prepare you for that. for the mixed messages on steroids. for the back and forth, not knowing. to give yourself to someone like that and go through something traumatic and then be abandoned by that person. we get it, bc we see all of jaewon’s story. but apart from what jaewon shared at the beach, jihyun doesn’t know any more than that. he doesn’t know about therapy, about how his father acts towards him, about the extent of his trauma and how it manifests and affects his mental health, and how he is struggling every single day. and you can’t expect him to know the depths of that no matter how empathetic and connected he is, how much he cares about jaewon, he can’t be superhuman. and so you get why he pushes and fights for jaewon. like… he is in love. it’s clear. he’s fallen in love with him. he is this wide-eyed, open kid that fell in love with a senior. and jaewon has just messed with his head, he’s never been clear, and you can’t expect jihyun to just get past that bc he knows something is up with jaewon. he can’t know the full story, but even if he did, that can’t be a reason or a justification to be treated the way jaewon treats him. bc we’re all about jaewon putting himself first and doing what he wants and respecting himself like that, but jihyun deserves that too. and it’s such a fine line to tread when you know someone is going through something, bc again you understand why, but you’re still the one being treated that way. like we talk about jaewon’s trauma, but here jihyun was part of it, he went through that traumatic experience. he’s the one that nearly lost his life. and yes, he appears to handle it well, and no matter to what extent that’s true or not, you can’t not look at jaewon struggling and understand it and then not look at jihyun with that same understanding. it’s not about comparing trauma and pain and deciding who is suffering more, it’s seeing that there are two people in this, and they’ve both been affected, so we should give them the same level of understanding.

and that’s something jaewon has to see. that his self-preservation is selfish. that his destructive behavior doesn’t just affect jihyun, instead it feels pointed and directed, bc every way jaewon hurts himself hurts jihyun. and it comes bc jihyun was so much of what was good about jaewon’s life for a second, so attacking that is his only form of self-sabotage. he can’t mess up his relationship with his friends or parents bc they were broken in the first place, and he can’t sabotage his future bc it’s already been ruined the moment he didn’t pursue his photography major. him nearly getting kicked out of school affected him so little not just bc he wanted that punishment, but bc even that punishment meant so little to him. all these things are established and they already contribute to his suffering. removing jihyun from his life is the only active thing he can do to make himself feel worse, and he can veil it in an act of protection, and even feel like he’s doing the right thing, but that deceives them both into believing this is done from a good place, when no good can actually come of it. in trying to protect jihyun, you hurt him more. in trying to hurt yourself, you hurt him too. and when someone is in a headspace like jaewon is, you look for that thing that’ll break through. bc he is so distant, he’s trying to remove himself from reality, and jihyun needs to act as this person that can anchor him to it. when you’re trying to isolate and separate yourself, sometimes seeing that you still affect things, that there’s a persons that exists that is affected and hurt by your actions, and no matter how you try to cut yourself off, you cannot stop that, separating yourself still hurts them, maybe that’s a thing that can get through. but that’s something that depends on jaewon. ultimately, he’s the only one that can get himself out of this place, and that’s what makes it so hard, that no matter how much jihyun cares and how much he fights for him, nothing can come of that effort is jaewon doesn’t meet him there. and it’d be so easy for jihyun to give in, to take the hurt, but over the course of this show we’ve seen the strength jihyun has developed, which has only seemed to increase more so after the accident, call it a renewed vigor for life or something. he has the strength that jaewon doesn’t, to not let his pain consume him. and in a beautiful full-circle moment, it’s because of jaewon, bc when they first spoke he sparked in jihyun a want to be stronger, to be more than the country mouse, and he’s done it. and it’s that courage that means he can fight for jaewon, even in the face of rejection. he trusts himself and that he knows jaewon, the real jaewon, to see past words that are intended to hurt them both, and go after the person that’s still inside jaewon somewhere. no, he can’t do it for him, and no them being together is not some magical cure for jaewon, but it’s what can put him on a path of caring for himself again, and sometimes that has to start with caring about someone else (and suddenly I’m reminded of my beautiful man 2 and how kiyoi tries to break hira out of his worthless mindset by making him care about him, and how ultimately that can’t be enough, and that hira has to take those first steps of seeing his self worth by himself). what jihyun can do by fighting is again act as that tether to reality and try to be this representation of the good jaewon can be and do. bc look at jihyun, look at how confident and strong he has become, and look at how he got there, bc you saw that country mouse and gave him the time of day and helped him grow and gave him new experiences. you jaewon, you. and that shift in mindset, from jihyun representing hurt and the accident and the trauma of his brother and everything he can’t do, to being that light and refuge and everything he can do is again something that might breaks through. and the fact it has such narrative strength and satisfaction makes me hopeful that that’s what we might actually get.

#I did a rant #I’ve done a lot of rants actually they’re all just sitting in my notes bc they all got a little too much #my thoughts are a literal mess and I am still struggling to put them in all the right words #mostly bc the way jaewon is behaving and not to be too overinvolved is very reminiscent of *me* #and so watching him shut down and remove himself knowing it’s something i do is hard and frustrating #and I did a whole rant about it but I realised I need to separate myself from the character to be able to talk about it #so yeah #I really wanted to bring up jihyun tho #bc he presents as so strong in these two eps but you cannot argue against what he’s been through and the effect that would have on anyone #and try to see it from a perspective where we don’t know what jaewon is going through and just see his actions and realise how much he has #messed with jihyun again not at all on purpose but that 1000 to nothing jihyun went through from the trip to the accident and it’s aftermath #that’s a fucking lot #and it’s interesting that we talk so much about people putting themselves first and not putting up with shit #like I think of simon from young royals and how we celebrate him saying no to being willhelms secret as an act of self-respect #but bc we understand and empathise so much with what jaewon is going through it’s hard to make yourself even consider jihyun #but when you do see it from his side you realise it’s a lot for him too #and that you wouldn’t hate him or misunderstand him if he was mad at jaewon #and with *spoliers* is there only so much he can take of jaewon’s self sabotage hurting him until even he and his developed strength and #confidence is broken by it #he can only keep fighting for jaewon for so long and idk if it’s gonna be a case of jaewon coming round too little too late #but I just hope this isn’t easy which sounds mean I don’t want either of them to suffer more #but this isn’t a kiss and get back together and all is good #I think jaewon needs to see the bad he’s caused #bc it’s only by owning up to that that he can ground himself in the moment and see that he’s part of this world and can’t separate himself #from it and jihyun also needs to realise that no matter his headspace jaewon does want space and when someone is self sabotaging you still #have to listen and respect what they’re saying distance means distance and as much as you want to fight against it you can’t be responsible #for making it work #agh I need to stop rambling bc it’s so messy and complex and I just absolutely ADORE the level to which this situation has so many emotional #moving parts and how ultimately blameless they both are and how it makes it so much harder to see a way out it’s fantastic #the eighth sense

[kingdomhearts-and-soriku-trash]

Beginning of KH Series (or at least KH1): Multiple signs of Sora having a crush on Kairi.

Middle of KH and current series: MANY signs of Sora and Riku having a very strong connection and proof of both boys having unsaid feelings and thoughts towards each other. Sora is almost always thinking of Riku, and Riku seems to be almost always thinking of Sora….

This is not meant to be hating on S*okai I promise. It’s lowkey a joke and just a point out, don’t get mad please-

#Soriku #Sora x riku #Riku x sora #me playing kingdom hearts #me playing games #idk I just love the way it changes. I’m not anti- s*okai. i love it. it’s just s little bit funny #how it changes so drastically. Sora still cares for K*airi but it’s clear that it’s not like it once was #sure he went looking for her on his own but that doesn’t mean it’s romantic. ‘but what about the paopu drawing and the scene of it???’ it #doesn’t have to be romantic. if it truly was it would’ve been told in a different way. the whole scene was K*airi reassuring Sora it would #be ‘just as friends’ or something like that. he literally stares at Riku for a whole minute basically lol. and the drawing isn’t romantic #either. and even if it was so what?? they’re children. they have crushes but it doesn’t mean they stay the same throughout life. #I’m not fighting or arguing or yelling at anyone I’m just saying how it’s funny about these signs happening and then #them changing and how some people really don’t want to see it. #they see any interaction between S*ora and K*airi as romantic even tho they’re not- #at least SOME people are-

Can’t believe the last time I watched this episode I was so bummed to see him with the waitress that I had to stop the episode and come back later like. My attitude about his time dating her has changed so much. It’s almost hard to believe I was ever jealous bc she treats him so badly. It’s like. Of course he’s not gonna pick her over me. Why would he choose someone who’s so antagonistic to his interests and the little things that make him who he is, when he could have someone who shares in them and celebrates those little things?

#I mean I’ve gotten a lot more secure in our relationship so it makes sense that I’m not jealous about it anymore #or as jealous. I mean of course it’s still gonna hurt when I watch episodes when they’re together #but I’m just not gonna get all bummed about it like I did before #I get why it broke me so bad. he’s obsessed with her in the show. it doesn’t matter to him that they argue and there’s- #no love and tenderness between them bc he just wants to have her. however that has to happen. #he’s never rly had a model for a good relationship in his life so he might not even rly know what one should be like #in fact like. it’s likely that he just believes that he deserves to be treated that way bc everyone else does it too #he might think it’s impossible for someone to ever honestly treat him with kindness #so when I see her treat him that way it makes me sad in a different way than I used to feel #it’s complicated tho like. I can’t blame the waitress for any of what she does bc he’s been very inappropriate in how he’s chased after her #I don’t hate her or even dislike her #I’d just like if I could be with Charlie and she could have her own life #and I’m sure she’d like that too #so rly the world in which Charlie and I are together is better for everyone when I think about it #better for Charlie. better for the waitress #better for me 🥺❤️ #idk tho. I’m thinking a lot now like I’m just getting deep here ahfjfl #ren speaks #renlie

Bungie pls stop tweeting I just had to see 2 people claim latinx is a slur

Do. Do people know the hatred of that term, and tbh even just knowing it exists, is an extremely online thing?

It’s not a slur you guys are insane stop making shit up

No one irl would know what you’re talking about if you said that.

If you don’t like it don’t use it??

The only real reason to not use the x at the end is cause it messes with screen readers, which is a good reason. This doesn’t make it a slur? Are you guys hearing yourselves?

Classic twitter moment.

#im hispanic/latino or whatevr the fuck term you want to use I don’t give a shit #I also live in a place where the vast majority of people are hispanic #I have literally never heard anyone use these terms irl #and when I say these terms I mean latinx/latine no one ever says that #when people describe themselves here they specify what country they’re from #if you tried to explain this to someone here they would start talking about trump or communism LOL #it’s like trying to explain pronouns to a boomer they either 1) hate it 2) don’t care 3) don’t get it #you got non hispanic people arguing over things that do not apply to them #can you guys go back to crying over pvp or whatever destiny players do idk I don’t play it

climbs back onto the stage to continue a two day old post. also people hating rachel bc she’s rich suck bro she’s 15 what do u want her to do 😭 rr likes writing rich people with helicopters it’s not her fault

#haha i tricked u by making a small little post. now i will continue the two day old post's tags >:] #rachel was: well within her rights to like percy. also to kiss him. he reciprocated and she backed off easily when he didnt #percy was: well with his rights to like both rachel and annabeth. also to kiss rachel. annabeth has zero ownership over him #even if she’s his best friend who likes him. percy’s communication skills or whatever idk #i haven’t read the books in 30 years are not awful. you could argue he’s leading them on but i disagree bc He doesn’t even know what he want #also rachel is in a unique position of being a mortal that understands him and can keep him company during the school year and #it’s not hard to see why percy would be drawn to that. sometimes love triangles go beyond the people it’s about the kind of life he wants. #also he's 15 lol 😭 #annabeth was: well within her rights to like percy and to be jealous that her crush is hanging out with a girl that likes him. #she was Not: within her rights to treat rachel badly. at all. she was very needlessly rude. #she also has deep set problems with abandonment that gives her behavior context but does not make it right. part of reading a series abt #teenagers is seeing them mess up and act immaturely. annabeth would not be a compelling character if she was born always right and flawless. #been growing up and becoming their best selves Together for years. a flawless annabeth with a flawed percy would suck for both #of them. her fatal flaw is literally hubris omg it’s not hashtag girlboss to make the female lead perfect 😭 #LISTEN. love triangles are so interesting when done right. what does it say about the character that they’re drawn to #these different people. what does it say about the life they want or the mindsets they value. what does it say about them when #they choose someone. beyond choosing a partner what kind of life are they choosing. what exactly are they committing to. #what made them realize this. and what does it say that they ever seriously considered the one who was rejected. romance is often written #as a tool for character development and there are specific themes surrounding the process and the conclusion. #best example for this is the hunger games (which obviously is not similar to pjo at all lol.) #percabeth is more compelling when u accept that percy Actually liked rachel and was considering a relationship with her and #by extension a life more tied to the mortal world. #also if you read all this [sicko meme voice] HAHA YES now u have to join my discussion circle. please answer my questions: #1. Do you think it’s more acceptable to be “the other girl” in media nowadays? #2. List an example of a love triangle you believe was handled well. What did it bring to the story #and what does it say about the themes and characters involved? #3. Is there a piece of media you wish had a different romantic pairing for a character that would’ve have deepened the themes #of the story more than the actual pairing? Does the canon pairing take away from the themes or do you just think it’s less effective? #4. if you have a sad cat picture please send it to me im running out

[worstloki]

My two cents to the thorki debate

Technically Thor and Loki aren't related; they're like literally different species from different realms. They were /raised/ like siblings. But if you squint you could cathegorise them as childhood friends ig. It's emotional incest not a biological one

I actually do agree. If you don’t categorise them as incest I’m fine with it, and if you do it’s like yeah that also works. Thor and Loki were raised as brothers but if there’s no blood connection... this is why the definition of incest itself is subject to who is defining it.

#they see each other as brothers and that’s what is like >.> #of course then you have the question of does being adopted not make someone part of that family and the answer is that it does and it doesnt #it doesn’t change the person’s genes to be raised by someone else but seeing someone as your family still makes them a part of it #humans are terribly sentimental #and i don’t think people *get* that Loki is in fact objectively not part of the family and that’s what trips him up? #you don’t know the rules of adoption on Asgard and we’re never told culturally how it’s done #Loki might’ve never meant to have been considered part of the family and taken in as a ward but lied to about being a son yknow #it’s not as easy as ‘you’re still a part of this family’ or else Frigga or Thor saying so would’ve calmed Loki down yknow? #Thor and Loki arguing that they’re not related for half an hour to the marriage contractor before calling each other brother right after: #idk XD #sometimes I think about Laudin and the being related by blood too kfksnfkdjv

[turtle-trash]

Have I mentioned how much I hate it when someone treats usagi like just another tmnt character (if that makes sense). Cause I do

#it just. feels weird #the usagi yojimbo series isn’t like the turtles. he doesn’t have multiple iterations #yea you could technically argue that the usagis that appear in the various versions of tmnt are different iterations of him #but I think that only works with 03 (note:I haven’t watched the 87 version yet so idk what happens there) #another thing is that they’re fundamentally the same character but with slightly different interpretations #they still all have about the same design with no significant design elements changed (at least too much) #it just feels like the tmnt fandom forgot that he’s his own thing #infact this is why I most likely won’t have a crossover thing w my turtles. since I feel that it would incourage that behavior

[communistkenobi]

amos is my favourite so far he seems like the most reasonable out of the aggro white dudes club on the ship

#liveblog tag #the miller julie shit sucks and holden is being a weird whiney baby so amos it is #also sad he’s not with naomi :( girl do not fuck holden you have better options #ALSO also he’s been like the most correct most often when they’re arguing about what to do #and the show treats him like a trigger happy idiot #pragmatic loyalists are good idk what 2 tell you !!!!!

POV: you’re staring at the person who made the saddest, most depressing movie you’ve ever seen, into a meme

#this is about joker (2019) btw #like sorry you didn’t have the mental capacity to understand it but like….. you don’t have to understand the underlying themes and metaphors #to understand that this was a sad movie #ain’t no way bitches looked at this movie and said ‘yeah this shit hilarious haha’ how ignorant you gotta be to think that #joker 2019 #‘the world does not shrink to your size just because you lack the depth to understand it’ said wonderfully by jaboukie on twitter #like I fucking hate everyone who participated in the meme bc like…… idk I think it’s disrespectful to all the wonderful people who worked on #it #also bc it’s fucking annoying and I loved the movie and it’s reduced to what? a fucking meme? #you look at a man who struggles all throughout the movie. who obviously needs mental help yet is denied by everyone who has the power #TO HELP HIM!!!!! don’t tell me this doesn’t remind you of something? #and NO!! you’re NOT just like him! #and yes you can relate to him but it’s the fucking incels on Reddit who sit on their ass all day and argue with random people #on the internet who say it. #it’s the bitches who victimize theirselves when they have no right to do so that say ‘he just like me’ #he’s been made into this fucking caricature by people who lack the ability to analyze and understand media #I know for a fucking FACT that those people said ‘why do wr even need English class lol we SPEAK english 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣’ ain’t no way…. #people who have been pushed and prodded and abused by the system #who have suffered and not given a chance to fight back #THEY’RE the ones who at allowed to say ‘he just like me’ #NOT the people who have no idea what that’s like!!!!!!! #sorry I’m passionate #lol #rant post #rant

ngl i was so confused for the last few mins of the episode. like what was going on?

oh same anon same. like i wasn’t particularly mad or disappointed about how anything went plot-wise, that was fine. I guess i was just expecting the climax to be… bigger?? they set up this grand conspiracy for the whole show just for it to end like that?? it’s not that i think the resolution is anticlimactic either, just delivered in a weird way. like if thua had his whole moment and it wasn’t all brushed away as some ‘student film stunt’ and then we actually got to see the characters deal with the fall out, bc we kinda did with akk having his emotional moments and ayan getting it all out in front of chadok, i more mean thua dealing with any consequences of what he did. he did all this stuff and then 10 seconds later they’re all… fine??? playing happy families making a film???? idk it just seems weird that kan and wat were so conformational with akk for what he did and then they just apparently let that go, then no one stays mad at thua, nor does anyone have anything to say about namo, when people finding out the truth was built up to be such a huge thing this whole time. and that’s what i wanna see, I wanna see the fallout and anger and them reconciling, even if it is rushed, i still wanna see it. characters can’t act like this and then be fine in the next scene, it just ruins continuity more than anything. plus i feel like the whole outing thing was just… not right?? im not mad that they did it, but for a universe that clearly has homophobia and in an environment where all this conformist shit is so clear, it’s not that i want to see that, it’s more i would’ve liked to have seen akk having to deal with that. being outed when you yourself are not 100% comfortable with your sexuality is a big and difficult thing and it would’ve been so interesting to see akk deal with that. but no, it’s like they said actually we’ve done enough character growth we’re ending here it was nice while it lasted. so yeah, the ep just had this weird vibe. no part of the resolution felt like it resolved anything and yes i fucking love seeing them all happy and being sweet but it still doesn’t change the fact that it doesn’t feel right. it really does feel like i missed half an ep and yet when i go back to find it, it just isn’t there.

#idk im feeling weird about it #it’s so hard to be mad at this show bc I love it so much #and as much as I would’ve loved a huge climax where akk gets mad and leads a rebellion against the system and it’s big and dramatic and bold #i get that this small resolution is trying to show that at the heart of it it was all about humans struggling with their emotions and trying #to find a place and doing what they can to stay afloat and how hard it is to turn the tide #i like that message that this isn’t some fight against the bad people it’s people perpetuating badness bc they’re hurt and they don’t know #what else to do #I like that it tells us that the hardest thing is to break that chain but that you can do it if you find the goodness in yourself and #others and the kindness to forgive yourself #but then to cold cut to besties making movies I just???? #like fuck get mad at thua!!!!! have a moment to argue and a moment to breathe and reflect and a moment to come back together and apologise #and find a way to move forward. NOT THIS #this makes no sense!!!! #it’s like I’m enjoying myself bc it’s so cute and fun but if you just chuck me into Disneyland yeah I’ll enjoy it but I’ll also be hella #confused as to how I got there #bc that’s what it’s like it’s like being at a theme park riding all the rollercoasters but I didn’t pay my entry fee im not supposed to be #here and I didn’t earn it but it’s fun so????? #idk I don’t wanna be disappointed but it just didn’t do what I expected so #but thanks anon for letting me rant I needed to get this off my chest #the eclipse

In an incredible twist, the grace and frankie finale would’ve somehow been less gay if they had just kissed

#grace and frankie #grace and frankie spoilers #like instead we got what felt like incredible amounts of intimacy ??? #I know ppl are arguing and queer baiting blah blah #but ultimately I feel like they’re relationship was pretty explicitly queer in some way #doesn’t really matter what flavor of queer #it was queer #ya know? #idk #like I have my own opinions about grace #but tbh it doesn’t feel like that matters bc the end of the story still felt queer regardless
