ꪆৎ two days ﹫ lhs
; pair bf!heeseung x fem!reader
; sum all you need is heeseung to tell you he loves you
; genre fluff , f2l , not proofread
it took you two days to realize how much heeseung loved you. he never said it, you deemed it was because you both were friends. best friends at that. best friends weren't supposed to fall in love yet that's what happened.
two days ago heeseung was drying your hair after a shower you desperately needed. it had rained that day and you begged heeseung to come play outside with you. it mightve been then that you realized you loved him too.
heeseung used your blow dryer to dry your hair. his fingers gently ran through your hair softly as the warm air blew against your scalp. he made sure that you hair was all dry before turning the blow dryer off and brushing out the tangles one last time.
he looked so content doing your hair. if someone would've walked in on you they would've thought it was a normal occurrence. they would've been fooled into thinking your six year friendship was something more.
the next day heeseung came over to your apartment, fast food bags in his hand. when you opened the door for him he lifted the bags with a soft smile placed in his face. "hungry?" he asked in a soft tone. of course you were hungry, you'd never skip a meal with heeseung.
that evening had been eventful. giggles faded into the air as heeseung told you his horrible horrible dad jokes. smiles were placed on both your faces that night. you noticed something in heeseungs eyes as he looked at you. was it fondness, affection, or was it all your imagination? you didn't know. you thought you'd never figure it out.
you hadn't seen heeseung today but you were dying to. you had finally figured out his feelings for you. he didn't have to tell you he loved you for you to know he did. it was all so obvious yet you were so blind you missed all the signs.
those days he held you as you cried to some silly drama and screamed at the evil characters, those were the days you wanted to relive with heeseung. but just without the friend title.
you wanted to live those with the lovers title. you wanted everyone to know how much you meant to heeseung and how much he meant to you. you wanted to share the most simplest moments with him.
you wanted to brush your teeth and wash your face before going to bed with him. you wanted to sing karaoke with him in your small living room, giggling as your voice cracks on the high note.
you wanted him to teach you how to dance the most intricate dance just so his body could be pressed to yours and end up slow dancing in the silent evening. you wanted him to know how foolish you were not picking up on his hints. you wanted him to know you loved him.
a soft ring of your phone interrupted your train of thought. you searched for your phone on the couch, finally finding it and looking at the ID.
a smile made its way on your lips as you answered the phone. but it was quickly swiped off when you heard what heeseung said. "can you open the door, i've been knocking for the past five minutes."
immediately you ran to the front door, opening it up just to see the person you wanted to see the most. "hi." he said, a perfect smile laced onto his lips. you smiled before stepping back to let him in.
"what are you doing here?" you didn't think just seeing heeseung would make your heart do flips but i guess you were wrong.
"can i not come see my best friend?" he asked with a smirk on his lips. your face flushed but it all fell down when you registered his last two words.
you just wanted him to ask you out already. you wanted him to pull you in his arms and kiss your forehead.
maybe it was because you had thought long and hard about the fact that he loved you, but you muttered some words you never thought you would say out loud.
"am i just a best friend to you?" okay, that was not good. heeseungs face fell the second you finished your question. you heard him shuffle in front of you, not allowing yourself to look at him.
"what do you mean?" he asked with a shaky voice. you could hear the way his voice shook as he answered you with a question.
"you think of me more than a friend, right?" you noticed the way heeseungs adams apple moved up and down as he gulped. you noticed the way his ears turned a bright red.
"where did you hear that?" he asked with an awkward laugh. you felt your heart stop for a second. he looked nervous and you hated it.
"you can tell me, im not one who would stop being your friend, you know that, right?" heeseung nodded. he looked down and took a deep breath.
"i do... uh i do think of you as more than a friend—" he took another breath before raising his eyes to meet your eyes. "—but i didn't tell you because i thought you'd leave. i can't live without you. you mean way too much to just have you walk out of my life."
you stopped breathing. hearing the words fall from his lips made everything feel real. you took a shaky breath before stepping forward.
"me too." you smiled softly. "i think of you more than a friend. i realized when you dried my hair the other day." you looked down, fingers playing with each other.
"i'd like to try with you." you whispered. you heard heeseung take a breath in. "only if you want." you added, scared of his response. heeseung took your hand in his and stepped forward. "then we should try."
the soft smile on his face spoke millions of words. everything was gonna be okay. you smiled happily and crushed him in big a hug.

I read THROAM for the first time in ~5 years. Here's what I have to say.
Volume I: There was so many characters I forgot about when going into the fic. Pete, Jac, Spencers family. I cant believe I forgot them. Pete will always be a fave because everyone hates him and it makes me laugh. The first volume was always my 2nd favorite, I think it still is. overall, the storyline isn't complicated and I like that. Ryan is such an asshole so I dont feel bad for him one bit in any of the fic. Also, I used to say that the bus crash was Brendons fault (I was 13, okay?) But Ryan was just an unstable motherfucker who truly should not be trusted to drive a vehicle of any kind.
Volume II: holy shit. I hate volume two. Not saying the writing is bad but Jesus Christ, Ryan is an asshole. bro literally stalked Brendon after he ran into him at that party like what? I had messaged a friend after finishing volume 2, saying "I'm a really nice person I never wanna make people feel sad, let alone make a whole fictional story about someone being severely depressed and unstable whilst chasing a boy then fucking his bf at the end???" and I think that perfectly sums up how I feel (and always felt) about volume two. other than the fact that I used to say that it was Brendons fault. (I was 13. THIRTEEN) it wasn't his fault. Some parts were, yeah, but it's hard to pinpoint everything that happened on one person. at the end of the day, its a good story I just Hate it (does that make sense) I love it but I hate it? it remains my least favorite purely for the pain it put me through.
Volume III: I love this volume. I always have. Sisky is amazing, we all love Sisky. I will say the iconic song/album references/jokes made me cringe a bit, though. Im not exactly sure what about this fic I always liked so much, I guess you can really see Ryans character growth and finally not be as much as a miserable fuck (he's still unstable dw) Since Ryan is less insufferable, it makes the volume more enjoyable. I like that Spencer and Ryan became friends again, I think it makes the book more enjoyable and tbh I think Spencer rly tied vol 3 together, if he wasn't part of it it would lowk suck. overall, best volume cant wait to host the throam tour where we go to hotel Chelsea then machias.
final thoughts: if I thought throam was 100% good when I was 13, Id say now that I think throam is about 85% good now. (does that make sense pt 2) this fic has sent me back into being 13 and I have been blasting some pretty. odd. (im listening to it rn as im typing this) and listening to this album just makes my life feel more simple. still a solid fic, I think it would be an amazing published book. and I think we can all agree that it would be amazing to see THROAM movies (in our dreams)
Thanks for reading lol

Just reading Dungeon Meshi while fat and just vibing with this neat lil story of dungeon meals and quandries of how close can a monster be to human before it's cannibalism to eat them.
Chapter 32, pg 87 then decided to sucker punch me in the face.
[ID: A panel from Dungeon Meshi featuring several humanoids having a meal and conversing in a place with stone walls and a stone floor. From right to left the speech bubbles read:
"You think that idiot lord will keep getting fatter and burst?"
"If he does, the elves will swoop in before you can blink."
"We need him to hang in there as a bulwark for now." /End ID]
Well then. So we're discussing a character who's considered to be incompetent and by this group to be lazy, dull-witted, greedy, and gluttonous? With his weight also being brought up as a negative point in an incredibly rude way?
Coooooool. Cool. Cool. *Nix will remember this*
...
......
Damn, I guess this guy must be fucking *massive* if folks think he might 'burst' from being too fat, even meanspirited jokingly. What does he look lik--
[ID: A manga panel from Dungeon Meshi featuring a tall humanoid in a plant-patterned shirt throwing a drink at a group of shorter bearded humanoids and yelling at them angrily.
The narration text boxes read: But one day, they found that large sums had been embezzled, and he disappeared. They say it's one of the things that soured the Island Lord's perception of dwarves. /End ID]
[ID: A crop of a Dungeon Meshi panel featuring a humanoid wearing a plant-pattered top sitting at the head of the table set with a meal with dishes placed for several people to part take in and a servant standing in the corner away from the table.
The person with plant patterned top addresses someone off panel saying: And? How was it? /End ID]
Mfers not even that damn big. Like? Really not even that big at all.
I see.
Can certainly say this bit really colored my perception of some later things.

WHITE LOVE;
Words count: 1067
Pairing: Yeonjun x gn!reader
Genre: fluff, best friends to lovers;
Warnings: kissing, pet names.
Song rec: TXT - Ito
Soobin [Yeonjun] Beomgyu Taehyun Kai
series masterlist
“Uuuuhh..it’s mid-December and there is still no trace of snow! ” you whined, lying on the floor of your room “Juuunn, what do you think, when it will be snowy?” you looked at your friend who sits on your bed scrolling through his phone. “I don’t know Y/n, it’s unpredictable. Who knows maybe we will wake up tomorrow and everything will be covered in white or there will be puddles oceans” he shrugged and you sighed dramatically. “It’s late already, I’m gonna leave” he smiled at your pouty lips. “Fine..see you tomorrow, dude.” you sit up and high-fived him “Mhm, see you!”
Yeonjun left your house a few hours ago and suddenly it was so lonely without him and to add here your sadness over the snow's absence you felt not well. Summing up all of these factors, you decided to go to sleep early, that’s your own way to fight those feelings.
The next morning you woke up quite early, and you could sleep even more if it’s not your phone ringing with no stop. You grumbled but still took the device from the nightstand and picked up the call, not even managing to check the caller’s ID. “What?” the first and the only thing you said with closed eyes. You heard a giggle in response to “Look out the window” the voice seems very familiar but your sleepy brain can’t process it. “Why? I’m getting my beauty sleep and don’t plan on leaving the bed in the next few hours” you said yawning in between. “I guess the sight out of the window will definitely remove any of your sleepiness” you heard the boyish laugh after his words. Yeonjun? He sounds like Yeonjun. Your head is still in a sleepy haze so you barely recognize his voice. You sigh and get up from the comfort of your bed and go to the window. As you open the curtain your eyes are blinded by the brightness outside, when your eyes get used to this brightness and you slowly opened them you can’t hold a scream. From the happiness of course. “Oh my god! Oh my god! Is it snow outside? I’m not dreaming? Wait I’ll pinch myself” and you did what you said, then you hissed “Ouch..at least now I’m sure it’s for real.” you hear a laugh on the other side of the line. “Come on darling, get ready and let’s go play with snow! I’ll be here within 10 minutes” Yeonjun said and hung up instantly. You were still gazing at the snow, the phone beside your ear and you didn’t move even a bit. After a few more minutes you come to your senses and hurry to change from your pajamas and get ready to go outside.
Right when you opened the door you met with your friend smiling face “Good morning, darling! Have you eaten anything?” Yeonjun asked you, he knows you so well, when you get too excited you can skip your meal for the sake of it. “Um..well you know..I ate a few crackers and-” you didn’t finish your sentence as the boy put his hands on your shoulders and turned you back to your house. “We won’t go anywhere until you have a proper meal. You know how important it is, right?” you heard him smiling as he said this and guided you to the kitchen. It’s always like this, Yeonjun cares about you like your mom. He asks you about the meal at least four times a day and if you say that you haven’t eaten he will immediately offer you a take-out or go with you to some cafe. When it’s cold he makes sure that you are dressed warmly and if it’s too cold outside he takes your hand in his to get them warmer. You care for him equally but recently it has been harder because you feel like you are catching feelings for your friend. Yes, it might sound like a cliche but you can’t do anything about it.
Finally, when you finish with your breakfast both of you head to your favorite park. The walk to the park wasn’t calm at all cause at every opportunity you tried to throw snowballs at Yeonjun, he got mad playfully and threatened you that he will take revenge once you reach the park. Actually… he stays true to his words, once you reached the park the boy started chasing you with snow in his hands and you tried your best to run as fast as you can, throwing some snow at your friend. A few minutes later you get tired and can’t run as fast as before so you let Yeonjun chase you, but he used too much force to turn you and both of you fall to the pile of snow behind. You laid on top of Yeonjun, your face bumped into his chest, and Yeonjun’s hands resting on your waist. You heard his quiet laugh and giggled too. “Are you okay?” even though the situation is funny, you still worry. “Yep, I’m perfectly fine, you?” he asked looking into your eyes. “Me too,” you whispered, unable to take your gaze off him. This moment feels like forever, none of you tried to end it. The longer you look into each other's eyes the bigger smile grows on Yeonjun's face and you feel his hands slowly moving to the small of your back. You didn't notice how your face dangerously got closer to his until his warm breath hit your cheek. “Y/n..can I?” the boy eyed your lips. The only thing you are able to do is nod because you know that you won’t be able to make any sound right now.
Have you ever thought that you will kiss your friend? No. You could only dream about it. His lips were soft and cold just like the snow beneath him, but the kiss was sweet like honey and you wish it never ends. “Well..I guess it’s time to reveal something...I really like you, Y/n” Yeonjun whispered to your lips. “Hmm..in this case, I should tell you my secret as well..I like you too, Choi Yeonjun” you giggled and pecked his lips one more time. What a perfect day you thought to yourself, you get the snow and the boyfriend of your dream.
If you enjoyed the story, please consider reblogging it to help its promotion. Feedback will be highly appreciated <3
Do not steal/copy/repost thx.

Sims Tag
Thank you @alice-in-strangetown for tagging me!
1. What’s your favourite sims death?
I always thought Death by Flies was particularly brutal and acted as a good incentive to not let your slobs get too... slobby. I am glad they brought it back for Sims 4.
2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?
I consider myself to be pretty strictly maxis match. It just makes the game feel like its own world, instead of ours. Though, I do like to use makeup and eye from alpha creators. Plus my game barely runs on my poor laptop, so alpha cc is kind of like a forbidden fruit for my game.
3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?
I have a mod that makes it so sims don't gain muscle or weight at all. Though, the majority of my sims have their weight set to like 75% ish and I still think they look too skinny...
4. Do you use move objects?
Unplayable otherwise.
5. Favorite mod?
I swear by roBurky's Meaningful Stories Mod and weerbesu's UI Cheats Extension. If I had to play with only the bare minimum of mods, these would be the two that I pick.
6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?
When I was a kid, I played the MySims games, MySims Agents, specifically. When I went to go look up more Sims games, I found Sims 2 and had my mom buy Sims 2 Seasons. I did not realize it required the basegame until it was too late.
7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?
I say it like aLIVE. I guess in my mind it's like LIVE television or LIVE streaming a game. It makes sense in my brain at least.
8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
It is illegal to make me choose. Though, I might make a post soon that just a bunch of random sims I have made in CAS and a brief description of their stories I never played out. Stay tuned.
9. Have you made a simself?
Ever since I started playing Sims, I have always made a simself. Though, when I was younger, the sim was like a projection of what I wanted to look like and now my simself is what I look like. For the most part. He needs some updating.
10. What sim traits do you give yourself?
Probably Creative, Art Lover and Perfectionist for Sims 4 traits. In Sims 3, probably Artistic, Couch Potato, Cat Person, Perfectionist and Supernatural Fan. That about sums me up.
11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?
This would be easier to ask my LEAST favorite color would be the true black swatch because half of the hairs just look gray. Favorite? Not really any, depends on the sim but most of my sims have the blue-black hair color.
12. Favorite EA hair?
Sims 2 peaked with this hairstyle. I tried to recreate it here in Sims 4 by combining cc, but it's not the same...
13. Favorite life stage?
Purely from a gameplay standpoint, it is Young Adult, but that is such a vanilla answer. Toddlers are up there. It would be Infants but I have yet to actually play with that life stage...
14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
It's about equal tbh. Depends on my mood.
15. Are you a CC creator?
Perhaps.
16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad?
Yeah, I force them to join my discord server.
17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)
Each game has things that I like and don't like. Gameplay wise, Sims 2 100%. Building and CAS, Sims 4. I have not touched Sims 3 in a hot second but I would love to revisit it again. Sims 1 is at the bottom of the list, I only play that game for the novelty, tbh.
18. Do you have any sims merch?
No, but I do own a plumbob headband for when me and my girlfriend dressed up as Bella and Mortimer a few years ago.
19. Do you have a YouTube for sims?
Unfortunately.
20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?
Not really. The only noticeable change is that I used to religiously make irl people that I knew as sims, including my crushes of course. Now, I don't ever do that besides my simself.
21. What’s your Origin ID?
DeathPoke1qa!
22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?
This is insanely difficult to answer. There are popular creators that I have a lot of cc from and there are small creators that scratch an extremely specific itch for me. So basically @pralinesims and @omgcoffinfit respectively.
23. How long have you had a simblr?
Since early 2019, I made it exclusively to post my custom content.
24. How do you edit your pictures?
Pirated photoshop.
25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?
Bands! Though, them releasing a grunge kit and a potential goth kit makes that feel more and more unlikely.
25. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?
Sims 3: Supernatural holds a special place in my heart that has yet to be replicated. I just love occults and vampires and any sim packs that revolve around it. Every time I go to make a family I'm like. "These guys are cute... but what if they were vampires, too?" Every. Time.
I’m tagging @pralinesims @omgcoffinfit @crazy-lazy-elder-sims @glammoose @eggysimblr @ethelgodehel and anyone else who wants to give this tag a try!

DuckTales Character Songs! (Part 4)
And now, here’s the last of 4 parts of my DuckTales character playlist. This time, I’ll be highlighting songs for recurring characters from Season 3 (with one exception, mind you). Sorry it’s a bit late, but regardless, it’s here.
Links to my previous songs:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 2, continued
Part 3
Part 3, continued
And once again, a shoutout to @glowyjellyfish on brainstorming these some with me.
Black Heron
Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones
First off, I’m kicking myself a little, because how did I forget doing a song for Heron to this point? That said, I guess it kinda makes sense having her song here, considering she was such a big part of F.O.W.L., the main villains of Season 3, so…yeah.
Anyway, this song is very serious, blunt, and kinda dark, like her. It’s also kind of a nod to the fact that the Darkwing Duck iteration of F.O.W.L. was largely a shadowy organization without a real concrete face of it.
Steelbeak
POWER by Kanye West
I was going back and forth as to whether I should use this song. But ultimately, I did. At times during the song, the title is a reference to a power trip, which Steelbeak ultimately did go on when he used the Intelli-Ray in The Last Adventure! Kanye is very bombastic and polarizing, a lot like Steelbeak himself. A lot of the time, he chooses to use his brute strength to forge ahead, and tries to prove all his doubters wrong, even those he works with. So really, regardless of what you might think of Kanye, his music works well for Steelbeak’s narrative.
Daisy Duck
Grown Woman by Beyoncé
No original version of the song? Come on, Spotify!
Anyway, as easy as it could be to choose a song about Daisy, it’s also just as easy to mess it up. She’s way more that just a pretty face. She’s an absolute go-getter that knows what she wants out of life, has worked super hard in the fashion industry, and given both her age and her status, she can do what she wants, but doesn’t let it go to her head.
Phantom Blot
Man in Black by Johnny Cash
Besides his attire, this song kinda plays off of Blot’s backstory, being against magic after Magica laid waste to his town. His attire presumably took on a more somber tone after this, and he started hunting magic users down. Until things can be seen as brighter for him, the Blot will wear all black.
Gosalyn Mallard
Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons
Gosalyn has had a rough life. Her parents die, she loses her grandfather, she’s been on the run from her life circumstances. However, she thrives off of the uncertainty, pushing through barriers, just doing whatever she can to get through life. Also, I just feel like ID’s music in general really suits her edgy, sometimes jaded personality.
The Fearsome Five (well, Four)
Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood and the Destroyers
We didn’t get much of the Fearsome Five (especially Negaduck) in DuckTales, but I think this song sums them up pretty well as villains.
Kit Cloudkicker and Molly Cunningham
Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters
The Greatest Show by Panic! at the Disco from The Greatest Showman
Honestly, I gotta mention this TaleSpin duo in the same breath here. I’d say these songs are mostly self-explanatory. Kit’s a pilot trying to hone his talent (don’t really remember TaleSpin, but from what I’ve gathered, DuckTales did his character all wrong); Molly started her own sky circus, and what better song to embrace the role of ringleader with than this banger? (It has grown on me over the years, I won’t lie.)
May and June (Duck)
Who Are the Mystery Girls? by New York Dolls
Okay, like with a couple of the other songs I’ve used, the lyrics aren’t the most appropriate to describe the situation, but the title…yeah, it’s just the general sentiment for most of The Last Adventure!: “Who are the mystery girls?” Some of the characters, Webby especially, are just trying to figure out May and June.
And that’s it! My complete list of character songs for DuckTales! I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did making the list. As for my next musical foray into DuckTales, I will say this: it’s arguably a bit more complicated than just character songs. So stay tuned!
#ducktales#ducktales music#black heron#steelbeak#daisy duck#phantom blot#gosalyn mallard#the fearsome five#bushroot#liquidator#megavolt#quackerjack#kit cloudkicker#molly cunningham#may duck#june duck#the rolling stones#kanye west#beyonce#johnny cash#imagine dragons#george thorogood and the destroyers#foo fighters#panic! at the disco#the greatest showman#new york dolls#Spotify

you literally summed up my feelings with my rambles about life. thank you for the reply it was detailed as well! honestly it just sucks cause it seems everyone else be doing something with themselves and ur just likw hmmm where was my chances huh? and i guess theres more existential crisis for myself when im seeing so much of others lives throjgh social media it doesnt help we cant just simply love ourselves be ourselves without comparing our lives bc there is so many more ways to compare our lives now than there was however many years ago. i cant not use the internet cause we need it for every day tasks including most jobs. honest to god i would pick literally any other generation besides this screen addicting one that we have all been conditioned into needing.
idk i honestly could do with a time machine id love to have experienced other generations as they seemed a bit more happier than a lot of us rn. it was honestly a blessing as a kid to have an internet free childhood and i regret that it wasnt a longer childhood. the most we had during school were flip phones or basic "smartphones" or ipods.
those were simple times we didnt need to make tiktoks and know every slang bc there wasnt such a thing back then. now its like gen z and new gens get more opportunities for their success due to the devices they have that we didnt have. and sometimes it really does come down to either being from the right place or having the courses that you wanted to do and a lot of the times that just wasnt available then and no one ever seems to talk about it cause it just seems that online my generation either gets shitted on or overlooked. for instance theyve only just started making "womens football" more known but we had such little opportunties in my school it was traditional dance, hockey, gymnastics or some winter sports but again it was limited option unfortunately i couldnt choose any other schopp bc its what is generically available for most schools in that area yaknow?
thank you for writing such a relatable response i appreciate it and love your blog ofc <3
We got a taste of the "simple" life, without all the TikTok pressure and endless screens, but we miss out on all the crazy opportunities newer generations have. It sucks getting told we had it easier when really, things were just... different. You're right about the whole opportunities thing. Limited sports options at school? One career path for life? That "workaholic" college tutor who wouldn't let you even have a part-time job? It's this messed-up system that makes you jump through hoops just to figure out who the hell you even are. And that whole "fear of failure" thing? Everyone keeps saying "explore your options", but what if you pick wrong? What if you change your mind and people look at you like you're some kind of flake? We're expected to know exactly what we want and nail it perfectly the first time, when honestly, sometimes you just need space to figure it out. It's okay if things get messy and confusing, but somehow that's seen as "weak" or something. No wonder it's so damn hard to move on, even when you know you need to.

(did he really? Or did he just create her? I could go ON for hours about this but I won’t bore you) //
i was the person who sent this ask and i largely agree with you. i saw a comment that basically said that she comes to the correct conclusion about dating men in their 20s and then loses the plot when she explains her own dynamic
but also i would NOT be bored please feel free to speak more about this
Yeah like I literally had the same moment as her not too long ago where I was like “omg if I end up with this man I will have won the lottery” and I told my mum and she was like “if you think like that then you won’t end up with him. You’re giving him the upper hand”. That girl did not have a mother to tell her he’s the one who won the lottery and it shows.
But yeah she right about the foetus men 😂
But this whole mentorship thing she falls into with this guy is a bit of an ick. And I’ve seen it many a time, I’ve had men try to do it with me many a time. They assume that because you’re young you’ve experienced nothing, which means they can play “build a bitch”. They tell you about wine and about art and about how to dress…all with their personal slant. They fill your head with their own opinions by only exposing you to high end experiences that they approve of. And they make you think that they’re showing you everything the world has to offer and you don’t know any better because you don’t know the breadth of experiences available. Now, I’m not saying this is necessarily bad, and no woman is hard done by by a guy showing them more of the world, even if it’s just the parts he likes. But you can’t seriously think that his “guidance” introduced you to a version of yourself that was always waiting to be unearthed…no darling, you’re just the sum of the experiences he allowed you to have.
It’s like in 50 shades of grey. Anna is a virgin when the book starts. By the end she is somewhat immersed in the bdsm lifestyle (or a bastardised version of it) and she finds those experiences pleasurable. Now, maybe she just so happens to have the same dormant kink as her boyfriend, but more likely, given that’s the only sexual experience she has, she’s presuming that he’s “introduced her to what she likes” rather than subtly guiding her to like what he’s shown her. She likes what he likes and that’s all she knows so it’s good enough, right? Well, how would she know, because that’s all she knows. Doesn’t mean she’s unhappy, but you can’t say unequivocally that that’s who she is when she’s never had the chance to try anything else because the guy in the driver’s seat already knew what he wanted.
I don’t know her husband obviously but I feel like I’ve met a lot of guys like this. Guys who think that you’ll be so impressed by them that they can curate your experiences so that your preferences end up aligning with theirs and you won’t notice because you’re just happy to be there. And a lot of the time it works because how many women who’ve never lived the lifestyle of an affluent middle aged man would notice?
And I guess that’s where I start to get a bit iffy about, not the age gaps, but the experience gaps. If you’re 30 and you’ve lived your whole life in one town, never travelled, never gone shopping in NYC, for example, I think you’re more on the back foot with a 40 year old man with money than a 21 year old who has been educated at a Swiss boarding school and grown up with the trappings of wealth. Because she knows what wine she likes and she won’t be intimidated by the women at the charity gala because they’re just like her mother, and that man won’t be able to tell her how he wants her to fit into his world because she already has a place in it, to an extent. Now, I don’t know the background of the writer of that article, but the way she writes about herself doesn’t lead me to believe she feels - to this day - that she has a place in the world she inhabits without the man who essentially brought her into it. So in a sense, he’s given her an identity.
Basically, I don’t think he’s introduced her to herself, I think he crated a version of her that would be a good partner to him. He’s Pygmalion and she’s Galatea and she’s oh so grateful.
And that’s not bad per se, if she’s happy then that’s fantastic for her. No shade whatsoever. But there’s guys that aren’t so nice about it, and there’s guys who go further with what they want you to like than just the wine or the clothes. And…idk I think she’s sold what is essentially kind of a crappy way to look at yourself - as the lottery winner - as some kind of dream. Except it’s a dream she clearly lives in fear of waking up from.

You mentioned 'one of' your cardinal rule about full frontals in response to the GOT HotD ask. So, do you have more rules? What are the reasons behind them? And how do you figure something like female full frontal but no equivalent male full frontal out in advance?
--
I don't have a conscious set of rules for the most part. I guess I could sum it up by saying it's mainstream US culture + bad values + not my id.
GoT was popular enough that info like that was easy to acquire by osmosis. If I'm interested in a show, I'll watch it unspoiled, and if it has my dealbreakers, I'll be mad, but that's life.
I guess there's nothing that's an absolute dealbreaker in literally all cases. There could always be some other element that would overrule my usual refusal.
But in general, I don't watch anything that centers on women's highly gendered trauma, including "she got raped and now she's a badass" narratives, which I especially loathe. I find that that kind of media pushes this subtext that it's empowering because all women have been there. I find it alienating, depressing, and boring. Xena getting the snot beat out of her by her former underlings in an ungendered way and then wangsting about having been a bad, murderous warlord is fine. That's a typical reformed male villain backstory. It's the Lady Trauma™ backstories I hate.
Special shout out to Joss Whedon who shoves this crap in everything and whom I've hated since the 90s. Ughhhhhhhhh.
I don't watch things where characters should logically get an abortion and don't. Every character involved is either an idiot or an abusive sack of shit.
I generally drop shows that started out being about folklore and then turned jesus-y. (SPN, I'm looking at you.) I like my urban fantasy to be neopagan woo-filled or Asian.
I don't consume dystopian media where society is gone. That's boring. I want to see a complex social context for our leads. (Relatedly, I find "my whole family is dead" a total cop-out. Make them fucking deal with their in-laws or growing old with a partner. That takes real writing chops, you hacks!) I also find ultra gloom more comedic than relatable.
I don't consume "anyone can die" media because it always removes all of the interesting characters while there was still more story to tell with them. Also, it invariably coddles whiny fanboys and their boring fave will have plot armor while all of the better characters will be the first to go.
--
But really, I consume very little media, so it's not like I have to think about these "rules".
They mostly come up when annoying fans are pushing their media I obviously would not like and I have to consciously think about how I'm making that snap judgment.
I'll occasionally check something out because it has a lot of fic. I often check out slashy (but not gay) shows because of a slash vid. I read a lot of original m/m by fandom types and may consume other queer media if it sounds like it has the right vibe. I consume a lot of stuff for research (film noir, nonfiction books, documentary). Even Kingdom, which I now love, I consumed because I wanted to get a feel for Korean historical media for the purpose of writing AU fanfic (which I then never got around to writing).
I don't have time or brain space left for mainstream things unless they happen to catch my eye.

The Painted Lady Re-Watch
I LOVE THIS EPISODE SO MUCH!!!
[id: Katara in her painted lady disguise. (a painted face with an upside-down crescent moon on her forehead, a hat, and flowy robes) end id]
I love this episode because it tells us so much about Katara. She's always been sympathetic to people who need help, 'Imprisoned' is another great example of this (& of course this is a consistent character trait, there are plenty of smaller examples, but these are the two big ones that come to mind for me.)
I think 'The Painted Lady' illustrates Katara's intense compassion in a new way though because unlike with 'Imprisoned' she has no connection to these people at all - she just cannot stand to see suffering. I've often called Katara almost dangerously idealistic, & this episode is a big reason I think this is such an important part of her characterization.
Sokka isn't even unreasonable for wanting to push the group along! They have an invasion to plan, after all. And it's not like most people's response to seeing a poor community is automatically like...I have to fix these people's entire life. But Katara can't let this go - even at the expense of their schedule, even if it means lying to her friends. I love her so much for this. She is so incredibly kind & stubborn.
Also - this episode is so hilarious. The boatman with multiple personalities just kills me every single time.
[id: the crazy old man from this episode who plays the boatman. end id]
Sokka & Aang's debate about what spirit magic sounds like was really funny. This was another great moment of the two of them just being absolute bros. Boybestfriends, if you will.
Katara is getting +1000 iconic behavior points for lying & tricking everyone so she can help the villagers, & another +1000 for her willingness to blow up a factory. Aang gets +500 for being immediately onboard. Also, I was cracking up at the chase scene. Aang was so funny in this episode. "But I'm the bridge between your world & ours!" killed me. So did Katara's little theatrics of changing her voice to try & trick Aang.
Oh, & another thing - I'm obsessed with how angry Aang got (Aangry, if you will...Ok, I'll see myself out) at the Boatman for not admitting that he & his brothers are all the same person.
[ID: Aang glaring with black around his eyes while Katara looks neutral & Sokka also looks furious. end id]
AANG WTF IS THAT FACE LMAO
I'm obsessed with everything about this scene:
Katara [Angrily.] No, I will never, ever turn my back on people who need me! [Gets up.] I'm going down to that village, and I am gonna do whatever I can.
[As Katara walks away, Sokka stops her by putting his hand on her shoulder.
Sokka: Wait! I'm coming, too.
Katara: I thought you didn't want to help.
Sokka: You need me, and I will never turn my back on you.
Katara: Sokka, you really do have a heart. [The two hug.]
Aang [Wiping away tears.] He really does have a heart, doesn't he?
[Aang turns to Toph for confirmation. Toph, however, elbows him and he falls off camera with a thump.]
Well, I'd say that pretty much sums up the dynamics at play in the Gaang! Oh, & every member of the Gaang (including Katara) gets another +500 iconic behavior points for their fuckery (Our Flag Means Death reference) with the fake spirit.
It was great to see the Fire Nation soldiers totally punked out. Side note - I noticed there were some lady soldiers. I've now seen a handful of people say that there are no women in the Fire Nation military apart from the Dangerous Ladies, & I believed it. But, actually, there are some in this episode, in the background.
The villagers are kinda idiots huh? Can't believe it took Toph pretending to be part of the crowd to get them to think of the idea to clean the river. Maybe I'm being a little harsh though haha, I guess they are either fire benders or non-benders so it wouldn't be that easy for them. The (actual) Painted Lady though? What a worthless spirit - she never thought about showing up in all that time before when the village needed her, only to thank Katara? Wow ok.
Anyway, this was an excellent episode. It didn't really contribute to the main plot, but often those are my favorite episode - little side adventures that allow for exploration of the characters & their dynamics. This episode is so great. That's all for now. Tune in next time for more of my rambling re-watch reviews.

please don’t take this as an instigation of a fight or anything cuz ITS DEFINITELY NOT. But can you sum up your thoughts? Cuz I’m kinda confused. My feeling is that some of the jokes were childish and unfunny but I listened twice and I don’t think Matty said anything bad? Just that some of it was kinda cheap and uncomfortable. If you’d rather not start drama I TOTALLLYYYY get it. The internet is kind of crazy rn and don’t want you to get caught in the middle of it cuz of my ask.
haha dw i dont mind replying, im not taking any of this personally.
i get what youre saying, personally wether the podcast is a bit or not the jokes were distateful and pretty fuckin rude. id understand why people couldve gotten offended and taken it to heart or even felt hurt by it. i think some statements or ‘jokes’ whatever were more serious than others but in general im just kinda disappointed but again not suprised. definitely not defending it tho
personally to me it just sounded like a conversation between two teenage boys lol. just lowkey immature. i guess matty is still the same matty. he’s said dumb shit before he’ll continue to say dumb shit. i know for a fact he knows what he’s doing, he’s smart yet so oblivious at the same time it seems. he likely wont even acknowledge this at all tbh.
in summary i agree with you to an extent, just the whole podcast just sounded like something that didn’t need to be posted online even if it was ‘irony’ or ‘satire’, just unneeded. doesn’t benefit him or make anyone laugh (apart from incels clearly) its especially not for us as a fandom so i have 0 fucking clue why he even went on it in the first place. but oh well none of us can read his mind or ever know his real intentions.
quick summary; im just disappointed but ultimately not suprised

cracker island track by track review
'review' used very loosely. These R the thoughts of a tipsy scouser
got too long so it's hidden; it is mainly critical tbh not because Im negative or mean its just my track by track thoughts and on sound alone this (2 me) was the weakest album they've ever put out
cracker island: if it came on in a club I would dance to it but I don't know if Id be having a great time. The song feels way more redundant than it might actually be because there's only like 1 melody in it. The instrumental melody & the vocals r the same. So IDK it's like. Its definitely technically a song. But it's like the bare minimum of a song
oil: I wish if any of the songs on this album broke from the popsynth fake drums mold it would be this one. The thing about Stevie Nicks is I don't listen to fleetwood mac at all but her voice is so unique and captivating. It crushes me like an anvil on my head that they didn't even let her sing on her own + kept her to a secondary harmony the whole time. This more than any of the other songs would have benefitted from real instruments IMO. The up a perfect fourth down a perfect third hook is catchy & that pattern can't fail it sounds good nomatter what.
the tired influencer: at this point in the album Im starting to wonder why they even bother with the characters playing instruments anymore cos what did noodle do on this album. There's like no guitar at all on the album. All the bass is synth bass. The characters' function in the band/story is getting less & less relevant to the music it annoys me. IDK this song is boring 2 me. Its like if the Fall was overproduced and had nothing 2 say
silent running: this song has always since it came out felt half finished. It's like the basis of a song that's not done IDK I feel like it's missing a component that might make it feel whole. The feature could have been deleted and the song would be the exact same; something I notice about the features on this album except Bootie brown & bad bunny is that they're extremely underutilized to the point where they might not have even been there. Like ur featuring an artist to do a background harmony??? Maybe this song will feel more done & real when I hear the piano version
new gold: 1 of the better ones on the album for me completely because of Bootie brown. Even though they took a rapper who is so strong and good even (especially) live and put his voice through 100million filters and dampened his skill completely. The live version of this one is how I wish it sounded on the album cos the energy of Bootie's part in that saves this song; timing is kind of cool but it's not like. New in any way.
baby queen: if they had changed the presentation of each instrumental in this song they could have made it an 80s synthpop genre piece like aries that would have been 4x better. I wish it wasn't so so so so so so boring to me. It just sounds like all the other songs on the album IG it feels like a filler song to me. Even just better/less smooth tone/effects on the synth wld have been something but suppose not
tarantula: it's catchy but it feels low effort. The lyrics r dumb IDK how else to put it not that they're inherently stupid but they're dumbed down. Compared to sum of their earlier more 'romantic' minded lyrics like every planet + some of the stuff off plastic beach, "if ur good for me and Im good for u then that's all I need in my life" sounds like a 2014 pop lyric geared towards the 11-16 age demographic u feel. Lyrically they've dumbed down their shit so much
tormenta: fine I guess. It's mid reggaeton that's too produced and smooth to even dance to. If it came on in a club compared to most other bad bunny songs I've heard not even the bad bunny fans would dance. It's like. Too slow to be what the only things going for it would suggest it is. The little synth break at around like 2:40 is the prettiest thing in the song to me I wish maybe they had leaned more towards that for tone instead of trying for something the song is just not
skinny ape: the third better song on the album. In terms of like well these are better than the rest. Like it's this new gold and oil I think. Maybe this is the song that feels the most comfortable in what it is. It sounds exactly like 2012 radio pop in the self proclaimed "alternative" genre like grouplove an shit. Like it sounds like 1 song in particular but I cant remember what it is and its driving me fucking mental. Something about it is likeable even though the lyrics are so fucking dumb I wanna tear my ears off. U are not a cartoon G damon u are an embarrassing middle aged geezer
possession island: like if Idaho kind of forgot its poignancy. But there's something really beautiful about the first minute of it. Maybe this is actually one of the better ones too. The further Im getting into it the more Im liking it. I don't see why beck had to be there. It's like the plague of this album they feature someone to literally sing backup. Anyway the further I get in this song the more I like it I think it's my favourite song on this album probably. OK goodbye
addendum: if I listened 2 any of these songs coked out of my mind they'd probably sound fine so maybe I should just save this album 4 those circumstances
#gorillaz#it was so funny the further along i got into possession island the more I was like wait. Wait. Waitttttt OK...#the progression from. This is a knockoff idaho. To. Woaow I get it

omg id love to hear your thoughts about callists and gavins relationship
In my last Grieve analysis post, I went into the flashback about Callista comforting Fergus when he had nightmares as a kid but pretty much slamming the door in Gavin's face. So instead of revisiting that, I'm taking a look at a line from All of Our Demise that perfectly sums up the conflict between these two:
"It still pained him to see how kind she could be to a child she'd never met before, when she'd greeted him like a corpse who hadn't had the decency to stop breathing yet."
First of all, ouch. Second of all, this is exactly what the problem is with Gavin and Callista. It's the same problem with her comforting Fergus after nightmares but not Gavin (minus the "child she'd never met before" bit) and literally every other interaction they've ever had. The problem is that no one except for Fergus ever bothered to get close to Gavin, or even treat him like a person, because they knew that he was going to be killed at seventeen. In their eyes, it wasn't worth it.
I don't think Callista arrived at this conclusion as coldly as their parents, but what do I know? All I have to go by is the scene of her wedding and the scene where Gavin takes Marianne to live with her. I think Callista arrived at this conclusion because, as horrible and isolating it was, it was easier than letting herself get truly attached to a brother she would lose.
Now, obviously, this is fucked up and left Gavin with no older guiding figure in his life and a desperate search for validation. But it also explains a lot about her greeting Gavin at the Payne estate "like a corpse who hadn't had the decency to stop breathing yet." From Callista's perspective, as soon as Gavin crossed the Blood Veil, that was it. He was dead. She could properly mourn the brother she'd never really gotten to know, and then she could move on with her new married life.
Except here he is. He's back, with a kid alongside him, and he's still breathing. Two champions are already dead and he isn't one of them. And suddenly Callista is face-to-face with this corpse again, and she'll need to talk to him and pretend that nothing is amiss as she shows the girl to her room and tells her a bedtime story. Then she'll say goodbye and suggest a way for her brother to survive the tournament, and he won't listen, and then he'll die for real. And all of that mourning from before will be for nothing, because that last goodbye before the tournament began wasn't the real end of it.
I do not endorse the way Callista handled any of this, but the more I think about it, the more I really wish we could've seen more of her. Because what was she supposed to do? Her parents made it clear that they wanted nothing to do with her. Gavin was pretty much destined to die. Fergus is a sweetheart, but he's ten years younger than her, so he's hardly a confidant. It's terrible, it didn't have to be this way, and part of it was by her choosing, but the Paynes are really all she has.
I guess what I'm saying is the same general idea from my other post, which is that Gavin and Callista's relationship was shaped by the messy nature of the Grieves, which did not set them up for easy love and affection. While they're certainly civil with each other and I believe that they wish each other the best, I don't think they'll ever be very close siblings. I can't say that I hold this against Callista, exactly, but I do think it's a result of her choices.

can't write in my journal right now because i filled it with dried flowers so the paper is unavailable. lol.
wednesday september 13 2023 11:33pm
i'm having the ol "empty and despairing and lonely after hanging out" feeling right now, but it's also. different.
i forgot my wallet at home and didn't realize til the end of my shift, so my original plan to go out to a bar tonight wouldn't be happening since i didn't have my ID. jun ended up having to cancel anyways because they weren't feeling well so :/
i was just going to go home and lock myself in my room and watch the rest of jjk s1, but robey got off at the same time tonight, so partway through walking to the bus station together we both said we were hungry and we went to get dim sum together. and then we decided to do a little window shopping. and then we both admitted that we didn't want to be at home around our families because we both have tense relationships with our parents so we walked up and down the same street for 2 hours just talking, delaying going home. mostly him. because i still don't know how to open up.
it's weird, because i don't feel that sort of connection with him where i can tell him anything about me, but it isn't a distrust either, because i know he won't judge or use it against me. i just. can't talk about anything and everything the way he can. but when he vents about something, it doesn't feel heavy. it's not a burden the way H can sometimes be.
maybe it is because there isn't that kind of baggage like there is with H. there's no resentment when he speaks ill of our mutual friends, because it doesn't ever feel that serious. i don't feel the need to offer wise words. there's no expectation for me to have something profound to say, to even answer at all. and it's easy to answer in small anecdotes, without saying anything too close, too personal. and it doesn't feel like i'm making it about myself. but it doesn't feel like i'm just speaking without being heard either.
(12:04am) it's funny that i keep comparing him to H. he did this thing where he constantly thought something he did with sam was something he did with me, and vice versa, which is something H does with me and their sibling all the time. they're somehow so similar but not at all the same. but i can't really see us ever getting on the level of... friendship, i guess, that i have with H. i don't know if i'll ever find someone quite like what i have... what i had... with H. it's like i put my entire soul out on display once, for the one person i thought was the same as me... and then it wasn't treated quite how i expected, how things initially were advertised, so now i can't. i can't do it again.
i honestly don't know how many chances i have to hang out with him one on one anyways. he's different from the work friends i've made in the past but. at the end of the day, it's still not founded on anything deeper than that shared space and shared time we have right now.
is that too bleak of a thing to think? that we'll certainly part ways once one of us quits? i know it's not always the case. drew and ron still make an effort to hang out despite them both being married and busy with other things when ron is in town. so do tess and liz. i think john and dom are still in touch, and dom and han definitely hang out. i can see K and M and V and P all staying in touch with one another. maybe the four of them and robey too. but i was never really close with them like that.
(12:27am) sometime earlier this year i jokingly asked V if she would come to my funeral. and after she said if she were still alive and able-bodied and clear of mind (because i was going to live a very long life), she said if she somehow still had a connection with me and heard about the funeral, she would. maybe she wasn't thinking about it in quite a personal way, only a realistic way, but when i asked if she doubted that we would have a connection of mutual people in the future despite our significant overlap of people we know, she said a lot about the drifting of people once they stop sharing a space. and it isn't just about that. it's about the fact that i, personally, don't know how to put down those roots. i can shed my leaves, leave those small pieces of myself behind. sometimes those small pieces nuture someone, something. i'm happy to make those small impacts on people. but sometimes... i wish i had someone who i could feel more anchored to. someone who i could come back to time and time again, without thinking, "will there be a next time? will i still be able to come back to you for the same connection? can we grow together?"
he told me how lonely today's shift felt, with all of the four of them at school while the two of us were stuck at the deadest, most boring place to be on a wednesday. he brought up Y, all the way across the country. i was struck suddenly by this realization that he knew her in a totally different way than i did. i'm stuck on the fact that she offered me a place to stay if i was in the area, and how seriously i should take her.
we usually just low-five + fist bump when we say bye, but he initiated a hug. it was really nice. i hope we get to hug more, because i don't see K and V often enough these days. i lied to him before we parted ways. a small one. told him i was going directly home, but i doubled back so i could pass the bar me and jun usually haunt, just to see if there'd be any familiar faces taking a smoke outside the doors. i wasn't lucky to catch any.
i have to be up at 8:30am tomorrow. i only have 5 more episodes of jjk season 1 left. hm.

I think most VC fans agree with Anne's take on Lestat though, they see him as faultless which the narrative validates cause no one ever challenges his version of events, like we are all just supposed to assume it was Louis who lied and nothing else, that's why they're all up in arms about what happened in the show cause "he would never do that". Hell even with the show some of them think he didn't deserve the murder and fully blame Claudia for causing the rift.
yea, its tricky cuz no one not the meta narrative or in universe actually challenges lestat when it comes to his response to louis’s interview, but id say characters in tvc absolutely challenge lestat’s character [his disposition, ways of thinking, actions& shit] & get on his ass heavy. so i feel like that implicitly should put his perspective in question the same as any other character’s [at least it did for me] but ur rite in that the vc fanbase esp the OGs do fall in line w rice’s own opinions. it certainly didnt help that shed get on ppl’s asses for writing fic, disagreeing with her, had a wide variety of contradictory, differing opinions on her own work& ppls interpretation of the text that didnt agree perfectly w/ however she felt at the time.. yk the whole interrogating the text from the wrong perspective essay on amazon reviews lol. yet certainly we are all bonded in discussing an adaptation of her literary canon which says sum yk. i think expecting a visual medium to perfectly adapt a book line by line is impossible if not borderline ignorance, but an excellent adaptation will show what made the source a good, veritable commentary on humanity. i dont think ppl should fly into deranged clear the searches campaigns when amc does use the merits of rice’s work & interrogates lestat’s crueler ways more than his cruel actions that was glossed over in the source [bc rice had diff intentions/views on it]. i think the nature of visual adaptations done decades after the source mean as viewers, we are already exposed to multiple threads from tvc (tvl, tva, allusions to the mayfair family, the talamasca, the whole impending vampire apocalypse which may or may not be a red herring this time, claudia’s diary, etc) that show this is not only louis’s interview, but a question on the fruit of memory itself. what is recollection to an immortal creature but a drop in the ocean? what does it mean to be immortal, if not living the same live over. and over. and over. again? anyways likeeee tbf at least anne rice had an excuse for why she was so crazy about lestat, he was her muse & based off the man she stayed with all her life. honestly if i made a trio based off me, my old work& our abortion and it blew up like this id delete my presence from everyone’s minds lol. but. them fans dont have an excuse cuz thats not what lestat means to them. ofc these books & lestat’s chara may have been pivotal in their coming of age but i also think as now adults, they should accept w the infamy of tvc & its adaptations mean varying ppl w different frames of reference will have different takes on this. yea, as kids we cant articulate an understanding of dv and intimidation tactics , but as adults u should be able to re evaluate fictional dynamics & have mature discourse w/o flashing out on ppl or going on clear the searches campaigns. i guess the existence of rl martyrs for these fictional vampires answer the question ppl had yesterday on antoinette too? lol

Didn't want to fill up your comments on FAMABL, but yeah, the reason I'm more upset about Owl House's cancelation more than any other is bc of how popular it is and still had all that crap happen to it.
It's like the universe was conspiring to make it fail. The shutdown causing the execs to look for ways to save money to their convenient denial of how trending on social media works to cutting down s3 to ignoring our petitions to finally admitting it is popular WAY too late.
Knowing all that plus all the plot points we had to skip like the other four head witches, Bat Queen's origins, character interactions and development.
Mix altogether and you have enough to boil over a tea kettle of anger for me.
Yeah I just feel like we were robbed of so much, both of interesting plot lines and character development as you mentioned, but also of the fun filler episodes that there's just no time for anymore. I wish we could see Steve and Matt being brothers and Hunter and Willow have a slow burn romance and Luz have her quinceñera and who knows what else, and it's just so sad to think about everything we are missing. I can't spend too much time thinking about it because I'll give myself a stomachache.
And it drives me crazy that less popular and less quality shows (*cough cough* bunk'd) keep getting renewed season after season just because they "fit the disney brand" better. Sorry to sum my thoughts up in a silly meme but it just feels like
[Image ID: The Eric Andre shooting meme. In the top half of the meme, Eric Andre, labeled "Disney," shoots a gun at a person labeled "The Owl House." In the bottom half, "The Owl House" is laying back dead while "Disney" turns around to face the viewer and says, "Why would lack of popularity do this?"]
I don't know anymore. In my case it's hard to compare which show's cancellations has hurt me the most, I guess. I compare it to Julie and the Phantoms where Netflix strung fans along for over a year before unceremoniously canceling it, and I think about Diary of a Future President (another show with great queer characters and storylines) which disney entirely failed to promote, and I'm honestly not sure which one was worst for me. In a weird way we're "lucky" the crew had some time to figure out how to give us a satisfying ending but it's still disappointing to remember what might have been.
