She's often accused of playing the victim, that's a big line in like the Kanye stuff, and so on, like she's self-victimizing. But to me, what's actually kind of interesting, and it's almost an artistic flaw of hers, is that she is unable to be the victim. Like, in Dear John, which is one of her best songs, she has that, you burned all the other girls you date out, but not me, I got your matches before you could burn me. And so like, she actually doesn't play the victim, she's just kind of honest. Like, if somebody releases a music video of you with like, a giant nude wax Taylor doll, she'll be like, that's kind of revenge porn and I don't like it. That's just hitting back, right? So like, what actually irritates people about her is her refusal to be the victim of a situation, but like, they call it playing the victim.

taylor: *deleting one concise phrase to add three competing images that overcrowd the song and don't leave her space to breathe or let a moment land* do you think the tiktokers will keep calling me emily dickinson

jack antonoff: *cranking up the brightness on a synth that sounds like sharpening a dull blade on a wet stone* you're so fucking smart

its so sad that radfem just means transphobe and not like. this

“ryan’s homophobic for giving the tommy storyline to oliver!” ryan gave us bucktommy so we could have eddie figure out he’s gay and in love with his boy best friend via catholic guilt and you’re COMPLAINING? eddie diaz called himself a reservoir of catholic guilt out loud to buck and when said he couldn’t fuck his gf anymore because she used to be a nun buck said he “wished he could help with that” and you’re COMPLAINING? could not be me

TV writers will come up with vaguely weird & awkward mannerisms for a character and unwittingly craft exemplary autism representation, then try to write an explicitly autistic character and commit a hate crime

okay, i know we are going to rightfully make fun of buck until the end of time for that 'ally' thing, but in all seriousness i don't actually think he's trying to pretend that he's not attracted to (a) men or (b) tommy, specifically. like, he kissed the guy and agreed to go on a date with him; he's kind of a himbo but he's not actually stupid.

i think he's trying (clumsily!) to articulate that he doesn't feel like he's allowed to treat this as a big deal, because he's always been an ally, he's always been fine with it when it was other people, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it at all, so there's no reason for him to feel so anxious.

but he does anyway.

shoutout to that guy on reddit who thought he was homophobic but was just in love with his roommate, you have done so much for buddie fandom and you don’t even know

Imagine planning your wedding to the love of your life but having to keep putting out fires bc your stupid blond bitch of a baby brother who’s built like a refrigerator hurt his hus-best fiend apparently on purpose bc he was hanging out with some other guy just to have him stumble into ur kitchen a few days later telling u he kissed the other dude instead

Given that Chim seems to be Going Through It EYE personally think it would be hysterical if Tommy got to be a Big Damn Hero and save Chim (also nice full circle moment) only for their lovely friendship bonding to be interrupted by Chim going wait how are you even Here and Tommy going oh I’m Buck’s date and Chim just. bluescreens.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Albedo, the chief alchemist of the knights of favonius, being completely MIA during the literal alchemy event but a key player in the cat event is pure icon behaviour and i will take no notes.

A friend gave me an idea and this was created in five minutes

Man, I'm so hyped for Arlecchino Quest and banner and Cyno getting SQ2 with Hermanubis lore and all, but also, DAMn, I am really intriqued by Sethos, he looks so good!! Love his design, his eyes being so green honestly feels fun for me lol. Like a cat.

Very excited for 4.6, probably gonna have to pace the two SQs for different days thou, no way I'm able to do both the same day lol.

i wonder if arlecchino returned childe's vision to him in person...

childe was used without his knowing in a scheme for a gnosis by yet another colleague haha, i wonder how he feels about it. and there's ONLY ONE gnosis left... if he wants to bring one to the tsaritsa himself he's only got one shot left. will he ever be a part of the gnosis club 💔

The last episode was awesome and tragic, one of the best ones ever. I almost choked when I saw F.C.G. again in the opening during the rebroadcast. However, I found some solace in these facts:

1) The head is mostly intact. 2) Aeormatons count as "humanoid creatures" even if they are artificial. 3) Reincarnate is a level 5 druid spell that requires only a portion of the original humanoid body to work. Fearne has access to it, she only requires the ingredients and the spell slot. And even if she can't cast it right now, it's possible that the gang is going to talk to Keyleth as soon as they will be back on Exandria, and she might have the ingredients and the spell slots to cast it immediately. Otherwise, they have 10 days to find the rare oils and unguents they need for the spell.

This means that it is possible to try and bring F.C.G. back to life, but if that would happen he wouldn't be an Aeormaton anymore. Honestly, I'm on board to have Organic Letters who tries to save the world and to learn how to act and feel like a normal organic creature full time. I can only imagine how insufferable he will be for having a tongue and real legs after the transformation.

Also, Reincarnate ruined Veth's life by changing her into a goblin. It's kinda poetic that the very same spell might be Letters' only hope to keep on living, right after that they learned that the body one inhabits is irrelevant in order to be truly alive.

sam's character, veth, put the core in devexian, and powered him up, and so the first aeormaton since the fall of aeor awoke.

devexian made sure fcg, sam's character, was able to be awoken as he was.

and fcg, using the core inside him, utilized it to save his friends once and for all.
