My problem with the execution of BostonNick's storyline

As happy as BostonNick's scenes make me & as well as NeoMark are performing, I can't help but feel that their story is like a puzzle with missing pieces. And it's always us viewers who have to fill in the gaps because they can't give them enough airtime to flesh out their storyline better.

Their scenes often feel cut short to me especially in the last couple of episodes? I've started to feel some noticeable gaps in the plot between one Boston and Nick scene and the next.

For example, when Nick goes to talk to Boston at the Halloween party in episode 8? We find out that Boston knew it was Nick who tipped Mew off about Gap. That entire segment felt off to me cause why would Nick even do Boston dirty like that after claiming he doesn't want to hurt him? And then why would he go & talk to him all casually after betraying him twice? Plus it would seem as if Boston totally hates Nick's guts now if not for the scene where he's sadly looking at Nick & his photos together. That one SINGULAR moment of him looking at their photos while day-drinking was literally all we had to indicate that Boston liked Nick too.

In episode 10, we jump straight from the repair shop scene to the rooftop scene, which felt so? Abrupt? Like as MUCH as I loved that scene, I felt like it came out of nowhere? One second Nick is flirting with Dan & giving him permission to hit on him, then Boston walks in with The Lockscreen™ & we straight up jump to Nick going over to see Boston at the rooftop. Like WE had to assume that Nick realised he can't stop loving Boston even though he has the option to be with Dan & that's why he decides to go back to him. But if you don't put that together, you'd be confused why Nick went to Ton after the whole speech he gave in the previous ep & after trying to move on with Dan? I just wish they'd SHOWED us a scene of Nick feeling torn between Dan & Ton? I wish there was a scene of him looking at the lockscreen in contemplation when Dan calls him to come see him or something, but Nick decides to ditch him to go see Ton? IDK something to fill in the gaps?

And the way Boston himself approached Nick at the shop hinting that he wants him back with the lockscreen, but the next second at the rooftop, he's asking Nick why he came there? Like? Bro you WANTED him to come? What happened in between for him to suddenly change his demeanor?

And now in the scene with Atom in episode 11, Boston mentioned something about Atom starting an anonymous account to expose Boston — WHICH CAME OUT OF NOWHERE? Like what do you mean Atom started an expose page? Why is nobody talking about this? How come Cheum didn't even get mad at her brother for framing Ton & falsely exposing him on the internet? If there's a rumor like that floating about Ton on the internet, isn't that going to cause problems for him with his dad?

Speaking of dad, what exactly is the issue between Boston & his dad? Like WE assumed Boston's dad might be homophobic but they never actually address this in canon. Why was Boston so scared of his dad finding out about his private life (other than the fact that NOBODY would want their parent to see a sex tape of them). But Boston's dad seemed to know he sleeps around & doesn't get serious with anyone? So what exactly is the issue? Why can't we get more background on Boston? We know his parents are divorced & his dad is a politician but we have no idea how he feels about any of this (except for our own assumptions).

AND NICK for that matter? Like we have no idea why he is so messed up. We know all about Ray's alcoholism & what prompted it. We know all about Sand's financial issues, familial issues, & ex-bf issues. We know about Top's trauma & how it affects him, and we know Mew was betrayed & cheated on which is why he started acting insane. But Nick? He's been insane since DAY 1 & we have noooo clue why? All we know about his past is that he used to have curly hair.

And this is not a jab at any of the other characters cause I'm invested in ALL the storylines. But this show is supposed to have 6 main characters, so why have BostonNick started to feel like a side couple? And with a storyline as complex as theirs, why are their scenes so limited & short? I just wish we didn't have to depend so much on our interpretations to understand BostonNick.

#im just upset bc this show is about to end & i don't want to lose bostonnick #also considering how we probably won't get neomark together again #im FRUSTRATED #bostonnick #neomark #neo trai #mark pakin #ofts #ofts ep11 #only friends the series

Ok so spoilers for the invincible atom eve special

love how her whole storyline is about how she's weird and not normal and then they make her the NORMALEST girl possible, like how do they make her THAT autistic as a child and then have her?? grow? out of it??? how do you fumble a neurodivergency allegory that hard??

#and dont even get me STARTED on the trans coding #im frustrated #like the girl who grew up staring at the ground and trees cause they were so fascinating to her complains the other smart kids... #...are boring cause they dont do anything fun???? #girl MEMORIZED the atomic structures of everything and loved it but then is like oh they all wanna be engineers and shit how lame #SHE DOESNT EVEN HAVE A FUCKED UP RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COLOR PINK #you can tell the wrote a weird girl storyline without any weird girls on the team #anyway... #invincible #atom eve #mine

If you try to blacklist 40k on this website you lose like. Half of the posts. Warhammer fans see a post about literally anything under the sun and think "oh this is just like blorbo from my minis" and tag it as such I guess.

Trope but IRL

You guys read those fics where Dream and The Stars just think the absolute worse of Nightmare and his team, no matter what they say or do otherwise?

I...I'm LIVING that situation right now and it's pissing me off.

contacted my dad over the holidays for help (highly unusual cuz this man has never helped me in my life before)

he agrees to give me a room in the house they dont live in at the moment, I believe this was due to his [wife] who later said she was the one hoping to "bring me home"

get here and given stipulations for everything that were worse than I had thought possible

--- (just some) expected work 40+ hours a week, have move out plan by February, all money is to go to an account I can't access, provide me a phone under a contract, then had me sign the agreement in the event we need to go to court.

Monday they told me I needed to have 4 interviews set up by Friday; told them that wasn't possible in 1 week, they doubled down

I decided I was going to move to the homeless shelter from here, and they immediately equated it to Me. Trying to. Avoid. Working.

Nothing I showed them or did would prove them that I wasn't some lazy bum doing everything I can to avoid working. So they treated me like they needed a short leash and kept reminding me that their 'support' could be taken away if I didn't meet their expectations.

I have Never been able to talk to my dad, cuz he asserts his opinions and then ends the conversation. I have Always been made to feel like I was 'unworthy' or 'stupid' with him. I had thought maybe we could talk while I was here. No. This man's world has shrunk since the last time I've seen him. He lives in his own little reality and none of his kids can get him to see that.

He once told me that "kids are stupid and don't know anything" but apparently his view carries on forever, regardless of the fact he has 5 adult kids.

The entire Sailor Moon fandom has an annoying obsession with interpreting Mamoru as “the straight friend” or “the boring straight man”, and it feels like they ignore his actual character to do so. It’s like they just go I don’t like him, he’s boring, and boring = straight. It’s so annoying because he’s queer-coded in the anime, and in the manga his sexuality is never commented on. Assuming that a character who has no confirmed sexuality is instantly straight is pretty queerphobic honestly. Straight is the default, I guess. :/ /s

He honestly seems asexual, demisexual, aromantic, and/or nonbinary to me (going off of his lack of interest in relationships and his rather androgynous speech patterns in Japanese Sailor Moon media), but any male character who isn’t stereotypically gay can’t be queer apparently. Which like, he’s pretty effeminate anyways?? So he could be interpreted that way, most people just don’t for some reason.

His mannerisms in pretty much all Sailor Moon media are very delicate and feminine. He expresses his feelings through poetry that he dramatically performs OUT LOUD. He has a flower motif and a knowledge of flower language. He seems to enjoy theatre and loves to put on a show. He kinda like,,, had a deep, special connection with a man?? One that’s heavily implied to be of a queer nature, if not a romantic one. I’m not sure how any of this screams “straight man” to you guys. TT0TT

He’s also in a friend group with a bunch of queer girls. What straight boy just befriends a bunch of queer girls?? It’s not exactly typical. You know who does, though? Queer boys! My friend group when I was a teenager was a group of girls and one boy. What did we have in common? We were all queer! Queer people are gravitated to each other.

I don’t even wanna unpack the fact that he’s based off of Otokoyaku, and is usually played women nowadays! (Because I don’t know a ton about Takarazuka, and there’s just too much going on there.) People say he’s “too beautiful” to be played by a man. That doesn’t sound like it contains any implications of gender experimentation or queerness. No way...😳 /s Anyways, look at the resemblance (He has the same style of suit and over-the-top, dramatic presentation)! (Forgive my photo editing.)

Here’s a passage from an article about Takarazuka that I think describes Mamoru to a T. “They go on to say that the magic of Takarazuka is that it makes them believe in fairy tales, and male actors would be too coarse in the roles displayed in the musicals. Other fans echoed this, adding that women can truly display what an ideal man is, one that is sweet, romantic, sensitive and caring — without all the bad parts of men.” (Link: https://studybreaks.com/thoughts/takarazuka/)

This is Mamoru! He was designed to be an ideal man who is sweet, romantic, sensitive, caring, and *delicate*. He’s called delicate by official materials all the time. This reeeeeeally doesn’t sound like your typical “boring straight man”. His very essence as a character is gender non-conforming! He’s supposed to be a person who has the good parts of men and women. He was purposefully made this way, and it’s not just my interpretation! Takeuchi Naoko has said she was very inspired by Takarazuka, and you can really see it in her work.

In conclusion, it doesn’t make sense that people always interpret him as a “boring straight dude”! There’s literally so much queer stuff going on with him. This is only scratching the surface.

Trying to find a medium sized dog breed that is "suitable for people with less experience with dogs" is literal hell. How am I supposed to find a breed that I can sufficiently care for when every breeder of the medium sized dogs I like is "this dog is NOT for beginners. It WILL kill you and your family. If you have a job it WILL destroy your apartment. Speaking of - NO apartments. You need six acres and 7000 sheep. Also we only sell to people who have had at least 6 dogs of this breed before. Die"

#ill see a breed and read a bit about it and ill be like wow! this dog sounds perfect! #and i check out a breeder on the club directory and the breeder will be like DIE #like 😭😭 where am i supposed to start if ive never had a dog before?? #and especially breeders who REQUIRE experience within the breed like #girl there are two (2) breeders of this dog in the united states. how do you think someone would have experience with this breed unless #through you? #im frustrated #esp since i dont really like goldens or spaniels and every person recommends them #and those are the only breeders that seem open to newer dog owners #like ive cared for dogs before.. i certainly know how.. #but since im going to be a teacher breeders automatically wont sell to me because ill have a fulltime job #this is so fucked #like 'oh they require 8 hours of exercise a day. and constant supervision' girl.. #im just like ugh!!!! why are these breeds so gatekept

[idlenight]

i wish i could turn off the thing where your art looks bad because you made it. I want to see what other people are looking at when they see what you’ve made. Instead of looking at the piece and seeing and remembering the process of how you got there, all the imperfections. Cuz i dont see that when im looking at others art. With my own adt i just see the whole not all the pieces.

UHG QUICK VENT

I know not being involved in Palestine is easy and there are a million reasons to.

but I want to tell my friends to stop telling me when they go to McDonald's or Starbucks because It just makes me so disappointed.

someone just sent me a thing about Mø, one of our favourite singers, boycotting Eurovision because they allow Israel to participate, but she gets McDonald's all the time.

I don't want to judge my friends but I so badly want to be like !!!!!! so you agree, you think boycotting is important????

UHGUHGUHG HF

it's been months of this and I have to just stay quiet and it's killing me

#my roommate also gets McDonald's breakfast all the time #i used to get McDonald's at least once a week #now its been almost 4 months #i miss it #im frustrated #ok that's it

boys will be boys. girl dinner. girl math. transmasc music is ukulele soft lyrics and transfem music is electronic metal and intense lyrics. I'm just a girl, can you explain it to me in a way that makes sense. I'm a man, I can't control my urges. being nonbinary is when you have a common name like arson or kai. all gay people like frogs. bisexuals all have septum piercings. aren't you sick of it. we shed their labels only to reduce our experiences down to the new boxes we created. aren't you tired.
