Me just realizing from your post that while it's obvious that Amy's arc in S5 is her realizing that what she felt for the Doctor was puppy love and not the real type of love and being in love that she had with Rory and learning to embrace that rather than run from it, the Doctor's arc with River in S5 and some of S6 is also about learning not to run away from loving somebody, albeit because of the trauma of knowing how it'll end instead. But I feel in a way Amy and the Doctor have some similarities there because while she didn't watch Rory die before falling in love with him she also went through a good deal of trauma that influenced how she handled her relationship with him/led to her using the Doctor as a form of escapism from the something real she has with Rory that she wants more, but keeps running from. Does this make ANY sense??? I am very sleep deprived. But I think I may be onto something here
NO NO YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, THIS MAKES PERFECT SENSE AND PUTS INTO WORDS EVERYTHING I AM ALWAYS TRYING TO ARTICULATE REGARDING AMY'S ARC AND THE DOCTOR'S RELATIONSHIP WITH RIVER AND THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THEM
I am also very sleep deprived, but TRUST ME I am on your level, your brainwaves are beaming directly into my head.
(Something something, Pond Family Era is ultimately about the power of love in all of its various forms and how it's worth it even when it's hard, and that it's not always easy, and it's rarely straightforward, and it's never perfect, but you should still try to hold onto the people who make your life better anyway and that the good parts of your life are still meaningful even if they end, and that the experience of loving another person in and of itself is an adventure. I'm really normal about this era of the show I promise.)

Aether Chapter 8
So the first time Digilife and Maggie's friend Kelly was mentioned I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be cool if that was Naomi." And the thought returns when Maggie gets a notification from Digilife even though she had them turned off, and I'm like "Naomi and/or Chase could make that happen..."
Then "Kelly" drops the fact that she has two hot girl friends and I'm like "holy shit is it?"
AND THEN "Kelly" calls Sierra "stupidhead" and I'm like "CHASE??? MY BELOVED!!!"
By the time we're talking Nurse Hotness and C Cup I'm sold, and the they start discussing Chase's prolific fanfic writing and I'm just wiggling happily in my chair.
I would not be even a little surprised with Chase was about to/already had broken several data privacy laws trying to find out Maggie's status before she finally answered back.
Chase's breakdown of the different dynamics of SuperCat, SuperLane, and Dream Girl held some Opinions™ and I am very here for them. 10/10 if I was living some sad alternate reality where I didn't know Molly's fan writing prior to reading these books I'd sure as fuck know she was involved in the scene now.
Also I need to go trawling Ao3 for some good gender fluid Lucy fics after this. It's been a fucking while and I need something that stops me from burning through Aether too fast and then getting sad about it.
Breakfast was interesting.
I'm getting the impression that some of the team engage in some good natured ribbing of Varsha's quick talking and fast eating of copious amounts but that maybe it doesn't always land how they intend it? It could also be that she's a little extra put out because they are doing it in front of the pretty new girl she likes. Idk.
I did laugh at Industry and Element only tolerating each other before coffee and being ready to set on fire and otherwise torture everyone else if approached.
Sierra has me in this weird place. Because she has been through So Much what with the almost dying, almost losing her best friend, losing someone she thought she was in love/felt she was in love with for 6 years, and has spent the night in a superhero base which non-super employed folks don't usually do if life if going well.
Of course finding out her life's work is about to get confiscated is gonna have a "straw that broke the camels back" effect.
It's a lot harder to imagine things slowly going back to something like normal when the thing you'd normally throw yourself into to ignore the not normal around you is being taken away. But also it feels off that Maggie is the one taking care of her, and that she's cut up about losing the machine instead of concerned and willing to find out what the fuck part it played in her friends new condition??? I don't know.
I don't think she's a bad person and she's probably holding up better than plenty of others would. I just feel like maybe there is a faint pattern of Sierra taking more from this relationship than she gives back? And like sometimes friendships are like that and so long as the person getting less is still getting Enough that is totally fine. It's just feels off from the outside until you get that confirmation that person B (Maggie in this case) is actually getting Enough instead of settling for less for whatever reason (crush, low self esteem etc.).
On a less confusing and lighter note, I feel like Maggie's coffee order is something I would drink if I hadn't long given up on coffee as something that just gives me fast depression. Mocha with 3 shots chocolate syrup sounds yum. It also sounds warming which might be part of my attraction rn.

ZENO ENJOYERS!!!! i love seeing them in the wild AHAHAH how’d you come across the game? (and what were your favorite parts? and thoughts on the characters? i’d ask which ending made you feel the most emotions but i have a feeling it’s ending f LOL)
woahhh zeno enjoyers in my computer!!
i played it bc i kept seeing fanart until i caved (what can i say, kirvia art never misses) lol. i love being predictable. doctor and murderer get handcuffed together and have to collaborate to escape? it's camp. i'm listening 😔✌️
i love how every character gets a turn at being a liability to the others, i love how it’s about rehabilitation + repression + obsession/unhealthy pedestals, i love how the character backstories are interconnected and interesting to unravel, it’s one of my fav games ever
semi vague spoilers ahead:
some parts i liked:
on the path to ending H i was clapping cheering when [redacted] got to let out the inner weirdgirl and become a threat to everyone else instead of the other way around for a change. boom!! call that equality
actually that’s why i liked ending F, bc it was the only part where they went zeno at the same time. metal af. also the afterlife part got to me. the bittersweetness, and then the despair of the post-credits scene… wah
however i’m a softie too so i liked the true endings a lot!! the reveals were fun and it was v satisfying how everything came together after they all went through so much. and i like that [redacted 2] didn’t get magically 100% fixed™ and is out there trying to do okay anyway. i wish i understood the timeline more though; idk exactly when route H starts (it needs the picnic photo but i think maeno’s room is locked during it? am i forgetting something/mixing up timelines? i wish there were a summary, it’s been a while)
fuyu’s vending machine dialog
that one bathroom stall
characters:
maeno: one of my fav characters ever! him associating his own atonement with trying to fix one person was nuts. the lengths he went to to achieve that + the cost it came at + the irony of it all? sign me up. also it’s fun that he can go little a crazy. as a treat
tsugino: no one calls him haru besides that one time natsu did, which is a fun fact i remember for no reason. his journey of denying himself + finding acceptance + figuring out what’s left for him was pretty interesting. i like him a normal amount (real)
fuyu: i just think he’s neat!! i’m glad he beats the one-dimensional allegations in the true endings. i like his dynamic with aki, they’re so funny (and sad. they have the range)
natsu: i wish she were given the chance to be a complex character instead of a plot device + i wish she had a different reason for zeno... if i could change anything about the game it would be that. i like her design though!
i actually had plans to draw these 4 in a set, and finished the tsugino one months ago but dropped it halfway through drawing fuyu :(( i want to finish it someday, but i’ve got a bunch of other things to draw first. ONE DAY THOUGH… maybe… - guy charged with multiple counts of saying “i want to draw that” and then not doing that
oh this got long i am so sorry if you’re normal about zeno LOL. i may not be actively into it but it sleeps rent free in my head as one of my all time faves. thanks for the excuse to talk about it ahaha

Idea for Discriminating Taste
Okay, please hear me out—this is a long one but a good one. Here’s my last comment on your fic:
“I'm imagining Deku's PR team looking at him sternly, saying "sir. sir do you know what you have done" regarding the playlist (they blush & their eyes go impossibly wide at some songs) Deku's PR team: *mumble mumble mumble* we don't have to confirm or deny anything. it's just a playlist A member of the team: *nervous, almost hysterical laughter* of course it's JUST a playlist pfft (very sarcastic) I mean, what if the PR teams catch wind of Deku's feelings first before Katsuki does? Then they suddenly realize how big of a hole they unknowingly dug themselves into. Or they unknowingly stepped into the biggest landmine in PR history (how hilarious would it be if Michael tells them it's now their job everything goes smoothly. "we do damage control, not fucking mATCHMAKING" "matchmaking is now part of damage control")(also, I imagine Deku's PR team is similar in personality to Katsuki, bc Katsuki's PR team is similar in personality to Deku)
I realize this would make the story even longer and maybe unnecessarily convoluted, so you can scratch that. I just wanted to share bc I think it's hilarious 😂
ALSO I forgot to mention in my previous comment: Kotaro's small act of heroism! Deku is so proud 😊”
NOW. I have a continuation of that! (I’m anon on ao3 bc I’m too paranoid to stay logged in all the time and too lazy to log in every time. Sorry for the inconvenience) I’m submitting it here bc if, IF you choose to use it—and I mean it, you don’t have to—it’s a huge chunk of plot. Here it is:
I imagine the media (social media? mass media? idk) stirred the pot a liiiittle too much that Michael got wind of what was happening (unless he was watching all along and only decided to move when things were starting to get really out of hand. Your character, you decide ).
Here's the scene: In Michael's office, with Michael, Deku, Deku's PR team, & Dynamight's PR team (the 2 teams are there bc they need to coordinate). No Katsuki. They're there to talk about Deku's Feelings™ (sadly, it's become necessary).  They HAVE to plan bc the fallout could be catastrophic, esp for public morale—what if the Dynamic Duo break up? It doesn’t matter if people know or don’t know why they split—it would crush them. Deku & Dynamight come as a set—they are the very definition of “Do NOT separate them!!” Anyway, continuing:
Michael is calm but steely-eyed. You can see it in his eyes--he's strategizing, he's weighing the outcomes, he's analyzing the situation. Did he know all along they had feelings for each other? That Izuku was aware but Katsuki was not? How long had he known? Was he only waiting for the right time to act? You decide—I like his air of mystery, that you never know exactly what he’s thinking. And I am still technically a reader, hehe). He says something like: Deku's feelings were bound to come out one way or another, with how attached to the hip he & Dynamight are. (Michael: "And they (feelings) are unlikely to change, am I correct?" Deku: "...yes.") What concerns Izuku will eventually concern Katsuki, and vice versa. It really was only a matter of time.
Izuku feels bad/guilty that he has burdened the team/caused trouble for them. He loves Katsuki, he doesn't regret it, but he hates that he became an inconvenience to others bc of it.
Everyone assures him he's no burden and as his (& Dynamight's) PR team, it's part of their job to handle matters like this. That, AND after spending cooking time getting to know the two like never before, they genuinely care about him (& Dynamight) and they're willing to do whatever they can to help (exasperated, but fond & determined). It's a very shounen "You can leave it to us!/We got your back!" scene. (Parallel to the "How we ALL became the Greatest Heroes" canon theme)
Izuku is so touched & grateful he almost cries. He's very thankful for all of them.
I know this heavily skews towards Gen but I think it could be well-incorporated into the fic (esp with how fleshed out Michael & Kotaro are, god I love them. Even Hanaku & Hiroto are excellent supporting cast).
I like worldbuilding, okay? Your fic has given me an explosion of ideas. You don’t have to use them, I just wanted to share how your idea continues to spawn many other ideas with other people!
P.S. Their ending/outro song is Blinding Lights by The Weeknd. Bc I'm corny

B, H, O, S?
thanks for the ask!!
B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
i know i've talked about Dojima/Namatame before, but it's one of those things that i never thought about until i saw a prompt for it on the kinkmeme back in the day??? and once i started thinking about it i feel like... as much of a crack ship this sounds like, there's basis for understanding but also conflict (obviously) that makes them interesting to ship under specific circumstances? though i guess i did most of the work figuring out how their dynamic might look like
also, your pitch for sombra/symmetra makes a lot of sense! while i didn't oppose shipping them beforehand, i was never quite convinced until you broke their possible dynamic down
H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?
hm, i think i come across animation more often than the other examples listed—i love animation! so from statistics it's likelier for me to be into a fandom of an animated show, and live-action stuff is very hit or miss for me.
for writing fic though, i guess i like books/manga/comics because it's easier for me to find the exact location of a scene that i want to reference?
O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
hm. most of my music are OST or songs associated with a specific property, so it's gonna be biased. i guess i'll go on youtube or spotify or something try to find a random song
*15 minutes later*
NEVER SAY GOODBYE (apparently it's an opening for Golden Kamuy, but since idk anything about it* i figure it's neutral enough): it's got an extremely shounen vibe, so Kamina from Gurren Lagann is an obvious shoe-in—he is THE Cool Big Bro in my cultural consciousness after all.
*the only thing i know about Golden Kamuy is that the author loves drawing naked muscly men and there are a lot of animal deaths(?)
just for fun there's another one: YoiYoi KonKon (lyrics)—my Japanese is nowhere near good enough to parse the lyrics, so i'm purely going by vibes alone. the whole thing screams "reckless indulgence", and the mesh of traditional instruments with a modern beat/melody obviously turned my mind towards settings and characters kinda caught between time? not necessarily literally, just that they're lost/losing themselves in some sense. I guess the use of traditional instruments plus the "recklessly losing myself in pleasure to hide/run away from my sadness" kinda made me think of Tsunayoshi (or Tokuko) from Ooku the Inner Chambers, the one where most of Japan were ruled by women bc a freak plague decimated the male population
(also, the vibe of this song reminds me of Tokio Funka a bit)
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)
okay so i assume this means "show us an example of a headcanon in your fanworks"?
the headcanon about YukiChie cooking and Yosuke's crappy pics in the (still unfinished) YukiChie fic that you beta'd:
Wounded pride aside, her mother has a point. They can’t rely on other people to cook for them all the time. It’s one of those Essential Life Skills™ that they were supposed to have mastered by the time they finished high school or whatever. Yu’s been making (and generously sharing) delicious lunches for as long as they’ve known him, and Rise’s cooking is perfectly safe as long as she doesn't have access to chili powder. Kanji and Naoto do fine on their own too. Heck, even Yosuke knows how to make staple dishes, judging by all the terrible photos he posts to their group chat at the weirdest times (also: she’s gonna show up at his university dorm and murder him if he ever spams her with blurry homemade tamagoyaki pics at 3 AM again.Yukiko will help her hide the body.) So yeah. They’re way behind schedule at this point, and it’s kind of a bummer to realize their culinary skills are about on par with Teddie’s—probably with him taking the lead to boot.
(I also absolutely think Yukiko doesn't look at recipes because she thinks she should just figure it out on her own)
[ask prompts here!]

Fic Authors Self-rec
When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written/fics you’re most proud of, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗
I was tagged by @ahundredtimesover​ and @ratherbefangirling​ a little bit ago and I’m LATE but this is the sweetest tag game! I chose a few that I maybe don't talk about as much (I've ranted and raved over 7 Secrets as it was my first series), some that I think those who want to dig through my masterlist might love just as much as I have!
How to Sell Sunshine (mafia au, reader is the mafia boss which makes everything better)
OBVIOUSLY I had to put this on the list. It's reaching its finale, I've been working on it for nearly a year, and it's been a wild ride that's pushed me to explore new aus and creativity. The story, the plot, is definitely my favorite. It's by far the most plot-driven of any of my series, and it's been so much fun to interact with everyone on this journey!
Cheap Seats (nosy neighbor!Jin, but hey, he pays half your cable bill so you're not complaining)
You know that one State Farm commercial where the girl sits by her open window of her apartment to watch her neighbors TV through their open window? Yeah, Seokjin is your nosy neighbor that pays half your cable bill in exchange for watching The Bachelorette through your open windows which are very close to each others. Literally one of my favorite ideas because Jin would totally be that neighbor.
Falling, falling (Slytherin!Tae x Gryffindor!Reader, so basically my dream come true)
YES. The possibly only?? enemies to lovers one shot on my masterlist (idk why. I love writing those.) which I did for a collab and I had so much fun with. I don't know if it was the setting (big HP nerd over here) or the fact that I got to dive into my Slytherin Roots™, but the dynamic between these two was a blast and I want more but that means I'd have to write more and I'm not doing that lol.
Sunkissed (greek gods au, Hobi being a better Apollo which is what the world really needs)
You know that feeling of the first ray of sun peeking through your window on a day when you awake feeling rested and at peace? That feeling that you wanted to capture in a bottle?? It's a short piece, one that I wrote out of the blue one day, and it feels soft and warm and tinged with just enough angst/spiciness that I reread it probably the most out of anything else on my masterlist.
Also, Hobi.
BTS Members as… (sometimes I ask you guys for random prompts, and I write up something small for it. BTS Member as months of the year is one of my favs and I aspire to capture the inspiration I had that day again lol)
Hi, it's me. Lover of all things angst and sentimental and finding meaning in months of the year. Proud of this one.
if you're curious, follow the link in my bio to check out my masterlist! there's a lot there to sift through, so good luck lol.
tagging: (and sorry if you've already been tagged for this, like I said I showed up late) @sor-vette @still-with-koo @parkdatjimin @park-jimin-isnt-real @btsroyalwilds

So I finally read Hollywoodland...
And I have some comments. Vague spoilers ahead
I'm actually into the noir thing! The music is pretty good and the backgrounds are nice and the character designs are,, good.
But uh
Is it bad if my favorite character is Billy?
MC is just So Constantly Horny™ for Celia and while I guess that makes sense considering she's supposed to be a femme fatale or whatever but in the initial chapters when you guys barely know each other it just feels very shallow
Very boring frankly
Like yeah, lust at first sight definitely exists but MC is such a simpering drooling fool right out the gate
And everyone being like 'oh MC is so beautiful' like
Cool let's re-affirm that physical beauty is like the only thing that matters
I get the setting is a 1950s film noir thing so it does make sense but
Have the MC (who is from Current Year ™) challenge it or something??
Also if MC is supposedly a Massive Film Buff™ then
Idk it would be interesting if we were able to navigate The Tropes™ but it seems like we're constantly taken by surprise
Idk Celia's constant flirting would be endearing if we had more substance to her character but we don't get that very often
I think because it feels so rushed??
Like she flat-out says it's only been a few days but suddenly y'all are already in love?
I think a lot of Fictif stories suffer from that tho.
Like Last Legacy seems to take place over several months (the timeline is vague so you can kinda make up your own mind about it but it's at least been A Little While) versus FTLOG that took place over like, three or four days??
I have a lot of issues with FTLOG but that's for another post
I mean you could say that it's supposed to be a movie so that's why the rushed timeline and rushed relationship
But I call that Rationalizing ™
Anyways Celia as an LI is,,, average
I actually do think the Frank stuff is interesting!! After he broke into the guest house (which is so creepy and it bothered me that Celia just shrugged at it but I also understand why she did) I felt like I *had* to pick the option to thank him or else he would hurt me
Like I physically got this little pang of anxiety
And I think that's great commentary about the power dynamics between Men In Power and (in my MC's case) the women who work for them
And I wish there had been more of that instead of the story rushing to flat-out attempted murder
Anyways I just hope that Billy makes it out of this okay

blue flag the manga the experience the movie the comic and fish guts. thots because of course im writing down my thoughts:
BISEXUAL MALE CHARACTERS.............. HOLY SHIT............. IM SO HAPPY.. seriously!! tho!!!!! taichi youre my Fkcing Bro, Dude, i respect you so much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
on the note of bisexuality, touma sparked within me both that and the gender envy, good for him. Surprise to no one, he’s my fave. Weirdly enough, I think the emotions he evoked in me mirror the emotions ronan lyn/ch the r/aven cycle ticked off in me?? Hmm. what the Fucks going on. psh anyway, yall. touma is So Good
aaaaaaaannnnndndddddddd continuing on the subject of bisexuality ... masumi.................. lord, girl, youre first of all everything second of all Everything. i like to think her husband is trans! he’s so cute. i love that masumi’s crush on futaba is still mirrored on him, like the meek/shy/blushy blonde -bit, god. im so happy for them.
i think that masumi’s arc regarding her sexuality/coming to terms with that all reflects the general theme of change that the story relied on so heavily... i think it’s very valid for her to have figured out herself better at a later point in her life. i mean for Sure it feels kinda gutting if youre a lesbian who really related to her character at the beginning of the story etc but, hmm, yeah... people and fictional characters won’t always stay the same. thats literally it. her marrying a man in the end doesnt take away from her love for futaba, although i WOULDVE LOVED to see some girlfriend/wife action :’/
Tumblr media Tumblr media
maybe the most interesting thing that caught my attention in this story was how.... easy it was for the characters to move in their different social circles. i was SO ready for the moment where yorkie/omega/mon “take offence on how little time taichi’s spending with them lately” or where the popular students “start making fun of taichi behind his back without any other reason but bc theyre popular”. holy FUCK this was a refreshing take on the high school dynamic!!!! im so fucking happy that, like, most every even slightly relevant character was. Was just So Damn Kind. especially to tai and futaba and co., since theyre the Deviants(tm) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this next comment makes it p clear what i was expecting/fearing from the story’s setting but i just gotta put it out here... words cant describe how thankful i am for how un-horny this comic was. jesus. thank Fuck.
ttthen, regarding that one chapter especially, here, generally speaking: i 100% dont think that we, as a society, should give bigoted voices a platform, and i hate that we have to constantly ... debate?? stuff like sexuality and gender identity and all such like, BUT. for what it’s worth, i think the Talk(tm)(tm) the characters had after touma had been outed/come out was a very interesting one to put the characters go through. because like.. thing is, if someone is so hard set on not “approving” someones sexuality, they probs aint gonna change their mind if you refuse to acknowledge their pov, as infuriating as it may be... also the chapter/scene really hit some points home. nice to see such things be discussed in such a setting. idk really, i just think it was an interesting route.
the story was surprisingly relatable! did not think that i’d be thinking about stuff such as my future, the change people inevitably go through in order to, well Change and Grow..... graduating and being an almost adult and everything related to that...... knowing yourself/not knowing yourself/having to fit a certain image for other people.... legit and honestly just thought that it was gonna be relationship drama with a coming of age-/high school-backdrop
Tumblr media
the art was such a pleasure.... an incredible blend of super pretty and super goofy, what a Feel good VIBE.... the creacher-imgs were, So Fucking funny.. and the SMILES...... HOW MANY FKING SUNSHINE SMILES THERE WERE IN THIS......... WOW..
was full-on sobbing during the beach scene, idek... something just hit Bad and it couldnt stop Hitting.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and the LAST chapter was SO. GOOD. i was TOTALLY tricked by the unknown pov but rereading it, the hints are THERE...... LIKE HOLY SHIT.... THE SETTING....... like how the view was always sorta that of a Tall person.... how did i not realize it earlier..... god tho GOD. Touma Ichinose. What The Fuck...... the implication that touma gets jealous of other people when taichi’s interacting with them... sighs w/e thats cute :-(
Taichi.... i love how much he emotes. I love that hes allowed to be this short dude with emotions and worries and issues and expressions.... boy you... luffy cosplayer you.......... and i love how softly touma's crush on him was handled throughout the entire manga :( !!! its just kind/loving/melancholy smiles all around, babey
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
:( this scene...........
incredible how i fell in love with every single one of the characters once again. fking lord mami, your values are. So Incredibly Important to me. god!!!! totally platonic m/f -friendships tho!!!! yes please!?!??!? 
Tumblr media
shingo & mami you mean everything to me
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
big dude and short girl friendship also, futaba and touma…. all of my rights have gathered here today.... holy shit their dynamic, and the compliment fight, and the wanting to be like the other, and the entirety of them, holy fuck, holy Fuck, good things are possible and those things come in the shape of a baseball player and a gardener. what the Fuck you guys..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
futaba, holy shit. youre the bravest most coolest human person there is (in this world of fiction,,), idk like, uh!! you!!! the cheerleader thing!!!!!! im full of pride for her WHAT THE FUCK... crying in this club :(( its about the growtH... her personality was such a pleasure to explore and read about!!!!! very relatable and just. lovely shes the best girl :((
akiko is GORGEOUS. thats not all there is but Uh IF i MAy bE GaY. masumi belongs in this paragraph also, girl hhhhhhhelp. her short haircut ,,,,
masumi and touma friendship, also <3 something about the line “You're the same as me.” got me feeling a Type-a way........ wahhh you guyyyyysssss....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just wanna hug touma :/ his design is superior it Just Is, and i dont usually even LIKE blonde characters all that much,,, it must be the beef :/ but also the expressions he makes...... god!!! a bitch might be soft, fellas. feels dumb to repeat these same feelings as in the beginning but, ya.. i dont understand what it is about him (and ronan) that make me feel like my bones are burning. honestly, maybe i . i just wanna be both their friend
Tumblr media
GOD.... maybe this is all, these are all of my thoughts. i kinda wanna smack some of my fave panels here but hhhhhhhh mobile.... desktop..... everything sucks  a s s.... i might come back here who knows

Regarding the previous post, I think the way I approach trying to evaluate a piece of art is asking "Do I think the positive things I get out of it outweigh the parts of it that I don't like?" And when I call something a "guilty pleasure" song/show/book/piece of media/etc. it's really more in the sense of, "Given who I am as a person, the flaws I've found in this should be complete dealbreakers for me, but somehow they aren't, and it makes me feel like I'm having an identity crisis."
#like. I think something like...idk shiki or cxgf excels on multiple levels. I understand why I like them. given the things I look for in art#it makes sense that these shows would speak to me because they make the effort to showcase those things I look for. because the people#in charge of those works clearly valued the same kinds of things and cared about seriously exploring them.#but with something like. uh. ctrlz. that is NOT the case and I frequently found myself going 'why would anyone make this writing#decision?' but I still sat through all 3 seasons of it! I still really enjoyed it! those flaws SHOULD have made me give up according to#personal history but they never did. and I very very much genuinely question why. I have NO IDEA why I still care about this#silly convoluted teen drama show so much. but I do. I wrote SO MANY FUCKING POSTS ABOUT IT.#I really love wicked the musical. I've heard many people call it 'hokey' or 'cheesy' or 'objectively bad' but here's the thing! I DON'T#think it's bad!!! like literally at all!!!!!! and it does do some genuinely cool things in regard to the music and the way the characters#develop and what the show says about the nature of prejudice and human connection. is it like. idk Serious™ the way that something like#Parade is? no. but it doesn't have to be. it does what it sets out to do and it does it well and this is why the whole '''objective#evaluation''' thing doesn't actually mean anything. I value thoughtfully-constructed music and dynamic female characters#(which this musical has). I value stories that deal with the complex and messy feelings that come with being a human (which this musical#has). I value stories about 'other'ness and romantic subplots that aren't just built on 'This Girl Is Pretty' (which this musical has).#and I value professional displays of technical vocal ability because I know how fucking DIFFICULT that is (which this musical...if you cast#it well...has).#if you value something else in a musical then yeah you will probably think THIS one is '''objectively bad'''#if you don't see the point of musicals as an art form you will probably think wicked is '''objectively bad'''#do you see where the problem with categorizing analysis like this is??
