"I'd do anything for you" Oh really? Would you block the sun if she wanted it done? Would you kiss her like real people do? Are her secrets safe with you? Would you be the fuel for the pyre of her enemies? Would you be the shrike to her thorn? Would you choose the soothing of her voice over the excitement of a thousand? Do you even KNOW what love is??? Grow up.

ok listen obviously like everyone else i am Fucking Devastated but the fucking sHRIMPLICATIONS here are KILLING me.
the two last "new" songs we got before the hiatus were alpha dog and from now on we are enemies (equally fucked up song btw) and pete namedrops alpha dog as the last song they wrote before the hiatus and it's such a. it's SUCH a fucking. augh.
like it's so painfully and clearly a farewell. the lyrics all telegraph it. your time has passed. never means forever. walk off into the sunset. the discussion of how much effort is required to maintain this life and how they already feel burned out, past their prime when they were all in their mid-twenties and early thirties. and the sheer fucking POETRY of the way it was the last song they recorded - tell rock and roll i'm alone again - until they announced their triumphant return with save rock and roll in 2013. welcome to the new déjà vu.
and oh yeah the last word issued in the song's studio version is the word "abracadabra," which pete cites as the word that christian bales character in the film “the prestige” says he will utter before he disappears from prison. "abracadabra" was a key word in the viral ARG-esque marketing campaign leading up to the release of believers never die...right before fall out boy seemingly vanished off the very face of the earth.
and, OH YEAH, the first shows they played after reuniting involved a multi-song medley spanning all the stages of their career, with one of those songs being the first time they ever played alpha dog, albeit partially.
the notion of the wizard through the curtain speaking to a sense of bitterness (at least if pete's ten year old genius annotation is anything to go by) which is the exact same phrasing to the way joe would later talk about the band's fraught, strained feelings leading up to the hiatus in a podcast with kerrang while promoting his book.
many people have pointed out the parallels between flu game and alpha dog - the way they both discuss the exhaustion of being so visible and constantly putting yourself out there and how taxing that is, especially when you're simultaneously trying to cover up how hard it is. how isolating it is, when the whole world is squinting against the starlight feathering off you. it's worth noting that these parallels are not merely implicit, either. "flu game" is in and of itself an explicit reference to a famous game michael jordan played while sick in which he claimed that he didn't want to give up, no matter how sick and tired he was. and how did pete annotate a specific couplet, ten years ago?
we must make it hard to look so easy doing something so hard
Tumblr media
another explicit reference to michael jordan, years and years prior.
and this is the first time they've ever played alpha dog in full. nearly 15 full years after the hiatus started. by now, fall out boy have been together for far longer than they've ever been apart. by now, fall out boy has been in their "posthiatus" era for longer than they have their "prehiatus" one.
i dont really have a conclusion to this. just, i dunno man. something about the repeated lyric "never means forever" on a greatest hits compilation titled "believers never die." something about i'm a star vs. so much for stardust vs. no more stardust. something about motifs that span decades, that span years of hurt and cracked-open wounds that have now been poured over with liquid gold, mending them anew. something about reclaiming old scars and ugly histories and reforging them into something filled with streaming starlight and sun-drenched smiles.
abracadabra.

it's always "it's okay to prioritize your mental health, you don't have to do something for someone if it harms you" until suddenly it's soooo wrong to let someone try to kill themself when stopping them would literally be against your ideals and therefore would harm you 🙄🙄🙄

And like. I get it. You're too sensitive ha ha, just let it roll off your back, just don't worry about it. But like that's not it. I chronically feel like I'm the worst person alive, and if I fuck up and make someone upset, that's all the more reason I deserve to die. I now have confirmation that I pissed someone off. What do I do with that? It's beyond someone just calling me a clown, someone used points to give me a clown badge like a scarlet letter. It's the intent. And if it was that person, they probably wanted to add me to harass me or dox me or get my ip address (which is why I don't add people from dbd).
But mostly I feel sick bc I pissed someone off enough that they felt the need to do that. I promise people aren't actively trying to piss you off or be a dick. I was doing my best, I just wasn't making the right calls. You don't know the other person on the other side of the screen. You don't know what they're dealing with. Please just have some compassion.

cranity's art for In The Woods Of Japan has been my phone lockscreen and background for lile 2.5 years now since they made it and for 2.5 years ive lived in constant fear of someone recognizing it, not as that specific fanart but as the characters exclusively bc of the imagined conversation of:
someone: oh!!! hey, is that Haikyuu? that looks like oikawa/ushijima/kuroo/whoever.
me: ha ha yeah
someone: I love that show! Ive never seen that art before lol he's being chased by a bear why?
me: ha ha yeah its funny
someone: did you draw that? its really good
me: no :)
someone: why are you trying to leave the room

"[character] would be toxic in a relationship because they're toxic as a person." wrong. i would drive them so batshit insane over me that they would be falling head over heels before they know it, they wouldn't have a chance to be toxic bc they would be too busy worshipping the ground i walk on.

OH i just remembered a theory i had for luz's palisman after watching kings tide
WHAT IF. It stays as an egg. but "hatches" into something different every time it goes off the staff. and then turns back to an egg when it goes back on.
That sounds like it wouldn't be convenient animation wise so i doubt it's actually what's gonna happen but I think it would be very cool

Before this episode starts and all shit hits the fan one way or another let me just say that it is absolutely ok to be upset about how things play out!
This fandom is generally a very postive very happy space and that's great! Unfortunately, a lot of that comes from this parasocial bond a good chunk of us have with the cast where we feel we have to love and support everything they do, and that's no more of a healthy attitude than this fan vs. Creator mindset that's so present in most fandoms
We owe them basic human respect and kindness. We can't make demands of them to play their game a certain way. They are under no obligation to make their story fit what fans want from it
(All of this holds true for any kind of creator for the record)
But on the flipside we don't have to be happy about every choice tbey make either! What we don't owe them is our eternal loyalty and constant praise. If where the story goes doesn't spark joy for you you can walk away! Temporarily, for the rest of the campaign, or for good, and it is not a betrayal nor a moral failing to do so
No, not even if there's a precedent for it. Yes, we all know characters can die in dnd but if Laudna being permadead is a dealbreaker for you than that's ok. You're not wrong for being upset and you weren't wrong for watching the show despite that risk. Same goes for if her being ressurected ruins the emotional impact or the stakes for you. This too is part of dnd and of cr, you're still allowed not to like it and decide not to follow the story any further
As special as CR is to so many of us, it is at the end of the day just a show, and you're allowed to have whatever feelings you have about it, regardless if they align with those the cast or other fans
