Here's just a snibbet of the like 3 hour livestream I went on the literal morning after watching Young Royals s1 for the first time (the show has been out for less than 48 hours) it's so crazy how far we've come

Nobody prepared me for how pointless and directionless working full time and just living as an adult would feel. Knowing that I have all the time in the world makes me not want to do a damn thing.

Since this post is going around again, I just wanna say that the point still stands outside of the context of this show. It's actually a real pet peeve of mine when people immediately associate gender neutral or inclusive language with queerness. Isn't the point that we de-sexualize language !!

Ik we're all praising Erik for using gender neutral terms when talking about Wilhelm's crush but the theories about him knowing that Wilhelm's not straight is the exact opposite of what I got out of that moment.

My mind went straight to "oh this is a writing choice done to normalize language that doesnt assume people's gender or sexual orientation"

Yall saying that he might have known Wilhelm was gay is like yelling at unknowingly queer people to put pronouns in their bio. Immediately associating that language with the LGBT community does the opposite of normalizing, it enforces stigmas.

Sometimes, I wake up with nothing but Norway on the brain. Call this a post about hyperfixations or PTSD but the way it takes over EVERYTHING is exhausting. I wake up thinking the sunlight reminds me of Norway. The smell in the air is very Norwegian. I start craving Norwegian food and thinking in the language. I look around and wonder why my apartment doesn't follow Scandinavian architectural patterns, and then I get sad about it. I want to go outside and look at norwegian nature, but I know I can't, and it makes me sad. I want to watch Norwegian television, listen to Norwegian music, and when I can't find anything, I get so unfunctionally sad!?!?! Like I genuinely can't get shit done because all I can think about is Norway and I can't even stop THINKING for Christ's sake, it perpetuates. So then I don't talk to a single person all day because if I open my mouth, only Norway will come out and if I try to engage in a different conversation topic I can't give even an ounce of false interest.

Idk how active the Twenty One Pilots tag is here - I'm trying to learn more about the group before seeing them in concert but it seems like Tyler Joseph is actually mysterious. My image of him is stuck at his 2020 racism scandal and it's completely disconnected me from the weight of the messages in their songs.

Can anyone tell me his story or is it just that nobody actually has the answers to these questions? All I know is that he grew up very Christian and probably sheltered and that he's had yk the occasional "bad thought" - this is just stuff I assumed from the lyrics of most of their songs. I read his wiki and it doesn't go in depth about the evolution of his mental health and stuff like that. What has TJ shared specifically, publicly, when it comes to his experience with mental health and religion? What has he been through? If I can get a whole picture I think I may be able to sympathize more with TOP's music (like I feel Fall Out Boy's lyrics much more deeply because I know what Pete Wentz has been through or where his mind was when songs were written and if I could understand TJ in the same way, maybe I could see him as an actual person and not some music-making machine)

Lately I've been seeing Dan and Phil as that old gay couple you'll see in documentaries about being queer in the mid 1900s where you wonder what they looked like when they had first known each other until the documentary finally displays a picture of them young and you go, huh i can totally see how they would fall for each other, but even then you only get a picture of them younger and the way they slowly and carefully interact with each other as old people so you never fully get to see how much they loved each other during the peak of their relationship...

Except the difference is that we are currently living alongside those two gay's peak relationship. We were there when they first met and we are watching them get old together. Soon they'll be hunched over with white hair, sharing stories of the past but unlike those couples from the mid 1900s, Dan and Phil's life will forever be there, documented and accesible to all, online.

I just know there's a woman involved somewhere when it comes to Heartbreak High's intimacy scenes because, what's the saying, those things are made from/for the female gaze

Heartbreak High season 2 felt like a different show

You could tell the editing/filming team had changed something. They were much more creative in their choices but some scenes felt so different and I blame a lot of it on the music. The scenes with Cash and Chook felt like some action/drama movie. The scenes with Rowan felt so Lifetime it was almost Degrassi.

I was happy at first seeing that we were getting 8, hour long episodes but when I saw how quickly they blew through Malakai's sexuality arch and they way they made things happen with little to no build up or explanation, it felt like they forgot about their characters. This season doesn't have much for character dissection. It was mostly focused on getting to the end of the plot. Do they even fully explain Roman's thing?? And it just kinda ends like that?? I thought this show was going for realism, not drama, because that was too mean for our characters, who we just watched grow and become better. They didn't deserve that. And where tf was Malakai going? I might've genuinely just missed that part...

At some points, I thought we were building up to something good. Like Cash experiencing normal teendom, Spider becoming a better person, Amarie experiencing a toxic romantic relationship, Quinni being her full self, Darren figuring out how to get what they want/need, Ant becoming less socially inept(?) Like there was so much in the works but it just wasn't concluded in a good enough way.

Maybe they're leaving things open for a third season but IF they get a third season, I hope they go back to focusing on the characters.

(Also there way just WAYY too much "we are men! Pity us! for my liking)

#i hate when i finish shows and go what tf did i just watch?? #heartbreak high #as a disclaimer i did happen to consume edibles before finishing the show so my perception was a bit skewed

I've been so used to not being invited to things lately that I just saw some of the people from my linguistics program having a swedish Easter celebration together, and the first thing I did was get angry that no one told me about it despite the fact that I'm literally not even in the same country anymore...

I dont think I updated yall yet with all the Young Royals ending stuff going on, but I officially dropped out of my program and moved back to the US. It's strange, I feel that quitting Grad school on the same week YR ended was a good way to leave all that Swedish stuff behind me. I feel like I'm not mourning it as much as I thought I would. Its good bc I feel like I'm finally free from that hyperfixation but it's also bad because I've immediately forgotten how much torture being in school was and now suddenly my brain is stuck on the idea of going to the University of Bergen.

I love how if any Scandinavian show needs a Hispanic woman character, she's always there. She shows up and speaks Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, or Portuguese. She's Puerto Rican. She's literally my mother. Icon and Idol.
