#someone cancel him

[summerlinenss]

here’s the thing.

if you’re one of the people celebrating our flag means death’s cancellation for whatever reason right now, i need you to realize that this is just a sign that whatever you love is next.

and i’m not saying that out of spite. having your favourite show cancelled is awful, i wouldn’t wish it on anyone. but if our little-gay-pirate-show-that-could can’t get its third and final season, the future of queer media is extremely grim.

ofmd was the definition of a sleeper hit. hbo max had no faith in it when the first season came out. it gained popularity purely through word-of-mouth. but it became one of max’s biggest shows, and it’s since been marketed as their flagship series.

it was the #1 most in-demand series in the world for 8 weeks (7 of those weeks consecutively). it’s currently in the 99.7th percentile of the comedy genre, meaning it’s in higher demand than 99.7% of all comedy series in the u.s. it has a 94% audience and critics score on rotten tomatoes. it’s the most in-demand hbo original series even above euphoria, succession, and the last of us.

it was nominated for 16 awards for the first season alone, including a GLAAD award and a peabody award. the second season was just nominated for an art directors guild award, which it was previously nominated for and won in the same category for season one.

besides awards, ofmd is critically-acclaimed and praised for its representation (including a cast of majority queer, bipoc, and disabled characters) and themes of anti-colonialism, challenging gender norms/toxic masculinity, and self-discovery/acceptance. it also has a diverse team of directors and writers consisting of several bipoc, women, and queer/trans/non-binary people.

on top of all of this, the plan for the show all along was only ever for three seasons. david jenkins only wanted three seasons for the full romcom structure to tell ed and stede’s story. that’s it. nothing more.

this isn’t an attempt to make you care about the show. but ofmd’s cancellation isn’t just a loss for the fanbase and the cast/crew. it’s a sign that it does not matter how successful or profitable shows highlighting lgbtq+ (or otherwise inclusive) narratives are or how many big names are involved. ofmd would not have been cancelled if it were a straight romcom. they would’ve magically found the budget. but corporate greed doesn’t care about us. they have no respect for queer people or queer media. and in the age of streaming, it’s only a matter of time until we lose all of it.

#also if you’re happy that ‘taika waititi’s pirate show got cancelled’ because of baseless accusations against him #1) it’s not taika’s show. it’s david jenkins’ show. #taika is just an actor/director/EP #2) even if you don’t like him celebrating the cancellation of a show because someone was falsely accused of zionism #especially when that person (like it or not) is a huge voice for minorities and is the reason so many of them get to tell their stories #is gross and makes you a gross person! #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd season 3 #save ofmd #renew as a crew #fuck david zaslav #queer media

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xue yang #a-qing #The scenes with XY and A-Qing are so delightfully tense and anxiety inducing #They are both so deep in the mind games with each other. Convinced they have the leg up when in reality they do not know the full scope #Also is is just me or do XY and A-Qing give off the vibe of internet nemeses? #A-Qing coming in hard with 'Oh you think blind people cant do XYZ? Get canceled idiot' #Meanwhile XY is the kind to purposefully use leet speak in descriptive text to antagonize the screen reader population. #a teen girl and a 4-channer who found his way to tumblr would be awful to watch fight irl but the vibes are equivalent. #Meanwhile XXC is going on a nice little walk to pick grass. I love him so much actually. #through writing these notes I have also gone down the rabbit hole of trying to pinpoint Xue Yang's age. Hello? Is it actually not known? #The best resources I could find put him as 1-3 years younger then xxc and song lan #So? early twenties? late teens? Someone who has absorbed more mdzs knowledge...Please help #Oh no I'm even deeper in the rabbit hole now. What do you mean the ages are mostly just relative? #What do you mean cultivators can age differently (usually slower in xianxia) #Oh no oh no wwx doesn't have a golden core.

thinking about yuri briar.

Ik that some ppl mostly think that he has incestuous feelings for yor but like?? I think he is just overly attached to yor.

remember that the main reason why yor needed a fake boyfriend was because yuri asked her if she had one and he would have a peace of mind if she had a lover that was to his standard.

Then he found out that his sister is MARRIED for a YEAR from a friend WITHOUT HIM KNOWING AND HER NOT TELLING HIM.

He knows that Yor can be airheaded at times, and he's afraid that the reason why Yor never spoke about it is because her husband might be shit. He let Loid go currently because he doesnt have evidence to suspect him as of the moment.

Also, consider that in his point of view, his sister worked herself BLOODY to raise him, give him what he needs, buy him books and necessities. His sister is his only family and her safety is why he joined the secret police in the first place.

And Yor mentioned that he loves being praised by her. I think his conflict with Yor's marriage is because of the supposedly one year gap that she never told him that she's married. In his chapter he had to deal with a man who cheated on his wife and fooled around with women, ofc hes afraid of that happening to his sister. He values family above anything. He pretty much reverts to his childish self around her (with his line of work he probably feels safest around her).

He's not even hostile to any men that Yor knows, just this stranger who is married to his sister. Aside from the fiasco in his first chapter he doesn't even invade Yor's space and tries not to be a burden as much as possible because he genuinely wants her to start living for herself and be happy. He wanted to wiretap their room to find evidence to implicate Loid but backtracked because he doesn't want to hear his sister's sexual life.

Also, he doesnt really attempt to sabotage Yor and Loid's relationship, he's probably still suspecting Loid because come on, he never got to know Loid and suddenly this man he never knew is married to his only family. He literally doesnt trust Loid. Except for the first chapter where he is reasonably vocal about his suspicions he never (atleast as i remember) really spoke about his thoughts abt it again except in front of his boss.

(edit: he even says it himself!)

Moreover, he doesnt want Yor sacrificing herself so much for him, I believe thats why he lives independently from her so she couldve find happiness for herself without her needing to worry about him.

So yeah, Yuri wants to make the country a safe place for Yor. His hatred towards Loid until now is still reasonable because of the circumstances surrounding the marriage. He has huge attachment to his only family left that he grew up thinking had continuously worked herself bloody to raise him because they were in poverty.

#oh hes someone who can understand me! #fuck this man IS hot i hate him #spyxfamily #spy x family #yuri briar #yor briar #i can feel it hes gonna get cancelled #but i really like him #kinda wild that this man doesnt actively tries to sabotage twiyor and hes just trying to find a reason why loid is sus #meanwhile fiona does hers by trying to show that shes a better wife #also yuri was lowkey fruity towards loid #the lottie nickname just stuck to him lol #yor towards loid is #and yuri is like

I am thinking about. Jamie and the Second Doctor.

Because out of all the incarnations of the Doctor, Two is arguably the one who uses manipulation and disguises the most. He thrives on using people's intelligence against them, on tricking people, on bluffing and his bluffs working. He has a different disguise every story pretty much and is constantly playing some kind of role.

And then you look at Jamie, and some of Jamie's most front and center traits are his loyalty and his honesty (and protectiveness, but less applicable). Jamie is loyal to a fault and extremely trusting of the Doctor. He's honest and straightforward and deeply caring.

And Jamie is the one who sticks by the Second Doctor for as long as he physically can--and you'd look at those two characters, one who is manipulative and cunning, and one who is loyal to a fault, and you'd think the Doctor would easily be able to take advantage of Jamie, that Jamie would just be a tool for him but he's not, they're on equal footing. Jamie pulls the Doctor down and reminds him what being human is all about.

#wren rambles #doctor who #second doctor #jamie mccrimmon #something in there about every doctor having one specific companion who balances them out and tackles that incarnations exact biggest flaw. #for One it's probably Barbara and Ian (Barbara if we're being specific) #been a while since i saw the other classics #ten its donna for SURE #probably something in there for twelve and clara #though i'm not sure if she exactly cancels out his flaws or just Makes Him Worse <3 #leela filling a similar role for Four that jamie fills for two? #that like... so called primitive Lower Intelligence contrasting with the Doctor's Higher Intelligence #or something #it's the doctor needing someone to remind him about human emotions and things #because he's so Able to overlook all that #and risks seeing people just as tools #and Two is more susceptible to that than other doctors I think #so contrasting him to Jamie's almost blind loyalty is *chefs kiss* fantastic #anyway i dont know if i am at all explaining myself but yeah #point is. the doctor could get jamie to do pretty much anything #point is. he doesn't

there is no way that Guillermo’s pussy wouldn’t drive Nandor absolutely mad with power

#wwdits #nandermo #nandor #guillermo de la cruz #what we do in the shadows #i have so many thoughts about how Guillermo makes Nandor feel powerful #(not in a sadistic power trip way tho) #the full force of someone as strong and beautiful and awe-inspiring as Guillermo choosing to bless Nandor with adoration #a man so used to being worshiped and yeT #you can see it in his eyes #how absolutely terrified of how powerful Guillermo makes him feel #with simple things like a soft smile and kind eyes #like how a former addict looks at drugs #and i find it so compelling that Nandor comes from power and conquering and yet he's like #fucking Guillermo would be like using the One Ring #Guillermo would casually say that he's upset Bravo cancelled a show and the next day the entire hq had been destroyed like a nuke hit it #like i'm srs guys i have five different long posts in my drafts abt how powerful Guillermo makes Nandor feel #(and how pussy-whipped Nandor would be if Guillermo ever gave it to him 😉) #but i can't process my feelings abt that rn so you get this

Can't stop thinking about Cellbit putting himself in harms way to protect Roier from Cucurucho and how, just days prior, Forever did the exact same thing for Maximus.

#i talk #qsmp talk #QSMP #Guapoduo #Ohnanaduo #LISTEN MAN THEIR whatever they got going on MEANS SO MUCH TO ME #On the one hand: I think Forever can do a LOT of development and growth as a person now that he realizes he doesn't NEED a relationship #On the other hand: Maximus would treat him SO well #Forever and Maximus instantly clicked on day one #also someone recently pointed out that Roier was the first person Cellbit saw when they arrived on the Island #and Maximus was the first person Forever saw #the parallels are KILLING me #also there's the whole Sapo Peta thing. I literally canceled the post I was writing about that mid-paragraph because I remembered this #anyways TLDR: I think Forever deserves to meet Sapo Peta. Sapo Peta would treat him so well too #Forever doesn't NEED to be in a relationship. I'm just saying if he WANTED one then Maximus would be my number 1 choice for him #also Cellbit is DEFINITELY with us on that he said the most beautiful thing the other day-- #he was like (paraphrased): #''Max needs to understand that Forever is like a delicate flower. He likes Max the way he is'' #''He just needs to cultivate it the right way'' #LIKE??????????? #CELLBIT C'MON THAT KILLS ME STOP #It really reminded me of how Vegetta described his character (in Karmaland) as a boy with a fragile heart #:(((( #They both have so much love and confidence but underneath it all they have very fragile hearts #agh #but anyways: Maximus and Forever have a beautiful friendship #and it was so sweet how Maximus comforted him after the wedding #(after Phil turned him down again a final time) #and Forever said ''you always seem to be there for me when I need it'' #it was so sweet and my heart ached for poor Forever

au where obi-wan is just havin a cup of tea and readin a bit of a book and anakin bursts into his quarters looking halfway to insane and blabbering absolute nonsense and then he just looks at obi-wan and says fuck it and kisses him before he storms back out 

meanwhile anakin’s been stuck in a time loop for ages now and he’s halfway to insane because no one remembers anything but him so what if just one day he gives into the urge to kiss/sleep with his master it’s just one time and no one else will remember it!!!

only for the time loop to break because of that kiss and the next day obi-wan is like ?? are we gonna talk about it??

and anakin (having burst in again, thinking this is another reset of the loop) is like ‘what, the fact that that romance novel is yours and not ahsoka’s?’

and obi-wan is like ‘nO (but it is ahsoka’s) im referring to the fact that you shoved your tongue down my throat this time yesterday!!’

#obikin #kit's silly lil aus #i just really need a time loop story told from the pov of someone not in the loop #so they're just watching their person fall apart and theyre concerned and also like ??? #anakin would storm in and snap something about yes he knows that book isnt ahsoka's it's obi-wan's #before obi-wan could even try to lie #and he'd also be like and i brought you htis food for breakfast because you want to make an omelet #but you secretly want me to make you an omelet #and the fic (told from obi-wan's pov/outsider's pov) is just like '???? ???? ? ??? ????' #an amazing case could be made for the reverse #where it's anakin's pov and obi-wan stuck in a time loop #and he just spends a day sighing in anakin's directtion and saying the nicest things #and anakin decides he's dying and almost falls to try and prevent that #and obi-wan says something like 'im not dying i just wish you would remember how much i adore you' #and anakn would have to kiss him because now that he's heard how could he forget??? #and the timeloop is broken through sheer anakin skywalker stubborness #post cancelled now im torn

Bloggers in the Supernatural universe trying to explain how the "Winchesters" that online paranormal investigators the Ghostfacers have some sort of beef with are actually notorious serial killers Sam and Dean Winchester, but all of this is possibly an elaborate roleplay based on the cult appeal "Supernatural" books by Carver Edlund, and also this all ties in to that guy with the trenchcoat who declared himself God and teleported around doing miracles for like a week in 2011, does anyone remember that guy? And speaking of, the fall of Dick Roman and SucroCorp! They're not quite sure yet how that ties in but...

#supernatural #these people are too high profile in too many different areas there should be more overlap #i know theres an overlap between true crime fans and paranormal investigation plans someone has to have realized that #the hellhoundslair guys personally know and dislike/are annoyed by a pair of guys who were on the FBIs most wanted list before 'dying' #give me supernatural book fans roleplaying in the comments of ghostfacer videos but its indistinguishable from the real stuff #atheist fanboy who worships castiel as a joke doing the spidrman point at repressed religious kid who worships him for real #deangirl getting cancelled on twitter for stanning a serial killer and insisting that its not that dean its dean supernatural #...tumblr fan using the winchester brothers as faceclaims for the supernatural protagonists and sparking a controversy storm

people are entitled to their opinions but saying that axl has shown no personal growth is extremely unfair.

#ana's shitposts #guns n roses #axl rose #hard rock #someone on twitter actually said that #they said they didn't like gnr #which #fair enough #but then they brought up axl cancelling shows and called him a pussy #usual shit right #then they said hes shown no personal growth??? #i've said it before #i don't expect everyone to like him #but if he's done one thing he has grown as a person #its ignorant to say that he hasn't

[sepiamestus]

It always rubs me the wrong way when people characterize atsushi as too much of a sweetheart. Like he IS a sweetheart but he's also snarky and sarcastic and most importantly he's very very angry. Do not forget this.

#I think its a product of like. People thinking that being kind and being angry are mutually exclusive #Which they very much are not #Atsushi is an extremely compassionate character who also happens to be angry!! These things do not cancel each other out #Like. He bites and screams and fights when someone hurts him or someone he cares about #He's been hurt so much and he's furious and bitter about it. #He's still a compassionate character. He's so so good. Being angry at people that hurt you is not bad. #He's not someone who just rolls over and takes whats thrown at him. He establishes this very early on #Idk. I just think taking away that part of him that's bitter and angry about the way he was treated #Is a major disservice to his character #Jesus this turned into a tangeant. I love atsushi a lot. #I'm a very angry person myself. I actually like that about myself!! I relate to atsushi a lot just as #Someone whos affected by mental illness in ways that often end up making me someone thats hard to be around #Atsushi is a tiger. He bites. This is important. #Sorry sorry. The atsushi brainrot is strong this morning #ruby speaks #Bsd #Bsd atsushi #Atsushiposting
