spoilers for the percy jackson and the olympians series, the heroes of olympus series, and the demigod diaries (i think)
there's no way Luke was written to have been actually attracted to Annabeth in the og PJatO series, no matter what subsequent books have said since. This is a case where I invoke Death of the Author and rationalize those later instances as Percy and Annabeth being unreliable narrators on the matter, regardless of Rick's actual intent. because it's just not there in the og series. especially when TLO emphasizes that they're family to each other.
Annabeth and Luke both come from a background of not having a stable frame of reference for familial love, so I can see both of them come to misidentify their feelings towards each other as romantic despite the feelings never actually being romantic in nature -- which is canonically the case for Annabeth.
post-Titan's Curse, from Luke's POV, Annabeth is the only one visibly/vocally ... who still cares about him? hasn't given up on him? like. WE know the complexity of Thalia's feelings re: Luke, and also Thalia was no where remotely in the wrong. but to Luke, Thalia basically cut ties with him.
and like, that's a lot, for him. for lack of better words. it's no secret how important Thalia's been to Luke, how hard he's clung to her and like.... i'm not eloquent enough to properly express it but like. he's clung so hard to not exactly a memory but something rooted/stuck in the past and the Thalia in the present destroys that and now he's left with nothing regarding that (which is his own fault! but he cant see that)
but Annabeth's still there. Annabeth, who he's had ~5 years to bond with after Thalia's 'death'. Annabeth, who's /always/ been there.
i think that if Luke had in fact come to potentially misidentify the nature of their feelings as romantic, it would have been post-Titan's Curse, pre-BotL. but they were never ACTUALLY romantic feelings.
which brings us to his final moments in TLO, where he infamously asks Annabeth if she loved him.
Annabeth starts to say 'There was a time I thought --', then looks at Percy, then tells Luke, that although he was like a brother to her, she never loved him [like that]. and Luke nods.
Annabeth is able to compare her feelings for Percy -- their feelings for each other -- to the feelings she's had for Luke and is able to realize that they were different, and that they had been different all along.
and, if continuing the proposed/potential 'Luke came to misidentify the nature of his feelings' reading, Luke nodding is him realizing the same thing. that the feelings Percy&Annabeth have for each other is and always has been different than the feelings Luke&Annabeth have had for each other.
it's important to stress that, re: this interpretation/reading, Luke never had actual romantic feelings towards Annabeth && he was never actually attracted to her!!! is it still problematic? sure but like. of course their relationship is problematic, specifically regarding Luke's treatment towards her throughout the og series, the power dynamic, etc. but i stand by him not having actual romantic feelings towards her in the og series, regardless of subsequent books.

i think one of the things that is so refreshing to me about trobed is that a lot of slash ships in fandom are admittedly based around stereotypes. there’s kind of a cookie cutter pattern for how people accept gay couples, but none of that is really seen with troy/abed. the openly weird, film obsessed autistic nerd is seen as the more confident and experienced one in his sexuality. meanwhile, the popular and masculine jock is allowed to be overly emotional and sometimes insecure in his feelings.
this isn’t done just to subvert expectations though, it’s all in keeping with their characters. abed is sometimes perceived by his friends as a nerdy virgin, but the show goes out of the way to say that this isn’t the case, with a character that is very self-assured (in what is hinted at in canon and commonly accepted in fanon as his bisexuality.) troy, on the other hand, who works to portray a macho heterosexual persona, comes to realize it’s okay to get rid of those barriers and explore himself now that high school is over. it all comes off as a very authentic portrayal of queer identity, and the chemistry between troy and abed makes for a very real portrayal of a gay couple, whether it was intentional on the writers’ part or not.
#community#community nbc#abed nadir#troy barnes#trobed#it’s that time where im analyzing things way too hard#and posting my thoughts because there seem to be people who enjoy hearing them#idk if this is worded in a way that makes sense but yea#to each their own ofc but i don’t really understand when people try to claim trobed is forced#i agree that portrayal of platonic male friendship is important#but that doesn’t take away that queer people resonate and connect with a character arc#especially when a relationship is heavily teased to be romantic#troy x abed

Abed is the only autistic character i relate to intellectually bc he is also very dumb.
#Abed Nadir#every other autistic character is like a scientific math genius stem and i can’t relate to that bc my special interest is tv and movies#Specifically sitcoms#I can’t do longform division but I can accurately predict how a movie will end based on tropes#Or analyze the inner workings of a sitcom guy

trans! hotch headcanons?🥰
he started cutting his own hair since he was a kid, meaning he’s had some… unfortunate haircuts. inexperience plus obstinate cowlicks inevitably led to shaggy, disheveled looks that didn’t suit him at all. he got better as he got older, but was relieved when haley offered to try cutting his hair in high school. she also fucking sucked but jess (after laughing her fucking as off at the two of them) took over and gave him his first passable haircut, starting a tradition of getting his hair cut at the brooke’s household
definitely had some Unhealthy Binding Habits, but he thankfully got top surgery quickly. but even then he was still a little self conscious, and he’d been in the habit of always wearing a shirt, so he just kinda?? kept doing it? he Did spend a lot of time in the mirror wearing a t shirt afterwards and learned to admit that he likes the way he looks so much more. even if it was just for him, it felt better—more natural for him—but self-love has always been a bit of a problem with him rip
he stays clean shaven bc it suits his vibe, but he likes when he can grow out facial hair. it makes him?? warm and fuzzy?? not like literally but in a nostalgic sense.. he can Reminisce. he was just a little bit heartbroken when jack said he hated it
similarly proud of his voice. he naturally has a pretty laid-back temperament, he’s not excitable or anything, but he Also likes to talk low bc he knows it makes his voice deeper
still grew up in bumfuck virginia? so?? has a very Conventional take on masculinity.
its actually something he really struggled with at first? the first thing he associated with masculinity was violence/aggression through his father, so he initially rejected it. but i think he grew into having kind of a doe-eyed, classic lens of the hero… that fantastical fairy tale prince, cordial and polite and strong and gentle, was a form of escapism. having this hypothetical, utopic view of the perfect gentleman was a coping mechanism more than anything during his youth, but that stuck with him as he began to establish his own identity as a man. it’s not the healthiest, but it’s what happened, and the results aren’t too bad tbh
#i did my best but ngl im not v good at umprompted hcs akshdljgsh i am NOT creative: i analyze#and most of the trans hcs i have are based on a highly specific very elaborate bg i have for him.. w like an older sister and stuff#so i kept most of that stuff vague bc i havent thought ab it much beyond that#N E WAYS#if u have more pls send them bc im a fucking idiot and also need ideas to Respond to in order to actually fucking say anything#asks#aaron hotchner#i could talk a lot ab hotch's approach to masculinity tho#ESPECIALLy compared to some of the others#like. he falls into toxic masculinity very easily.. mostly just bc it aligns w his trauma anyway lmao

literally do not understand why people will come on this website and actively engage in activities that are Not Fun. like why would you do that. what is the appeal. this is the website where you’re supposed to only do Fun Things on your specifically tailored Fun Blog. why do you people not like Having Fun. does it give you joy to write discourse essays or argue with people or send hateful anons??? is that fun for you?????? I just genuinely don’t get it. why would you do it if it’s not Fun
#ok I admit this is ab the amount of discourse I see about ofmd 😶 don’t kill me#but like. can y’all just chill for TWO seconds#it’s a fucking. silly comedic pirate show#why do you people spend so much time and energy arguing with people over the moral ethics of the pirate show it’s so funny#but also exhausting to witness#it’s one thing to engage critically with a piece of media#it’s another thing to just overanalyze everything and argue 24/7#you are allowed to have critical and nuanced opinions like. in your head. and not argue with people about them#just bc I limit my blog to only Fun Posts doesn’t mean I don’t have complex opinions ab the characters and shit#I just don’t feel the need to throw my hat into the fucking clown rodeo that saps your soul like the dark crystal#I think there’s a difference between having critical discussions about media and trying to analyze it deeper#and like. just making things up to get mad about#I’m not saying we should never engage in debate ever I just don’t understand the urge to engage in discourse that’s not actually meaningful#like y’all realize you could just Not Do That right?????

i cant tell thru the messiness of higuchi raw chapter scraggle and abe also wears a catcher mask and has bitch face but i cannot tell what emotion he is supposed to be feeling while catching for horii but it feels like unease or...nervousness?? like why is he uneasy tho
#do u see what i mean hes like not that enthusiastic talking to momos dad and he has his one sweat drop#and mildly uneasy expression like why r u feeling that way when mr momo is so excited what does it mean#<- thing i have to analyze bc nothing happens in this monthly snail paced manga#here i will make up what it means based on nothing: hes uneasy bc horii has too much fastball talent#and only has like 0.5 of a breaking ball so abe will have to work with him a lot to get that breaking ball down#which means less time with his favored pitcher (mihashi). there i just made up the answer that makes us all happy

spoilers for professor layton and the last specter
one day i'll finally write that ~analysis about how layton treats children esp in pl4 and esp in comparison to emmy that's been in my head for literal y e a r s at this point
i'm going to actually leave some of my scattered thoughts abt it here finally. note that this is all based on the US localization.
for lack of better words, layton treats children with respect and seriously. like of course he's mindful that they're children but he takes what they say and feel with seriousness. vs emmy who's often patronizing, demeaning, or impatient (for lack of better words).
this is prob most apparent with Luke in pl4, though not limited to him.
when first told about the door puzzle, emmy goes 'aw thats so cute let's do it'. like indulging a little kid. which luke is, but i digress. EDIT: briefly checked out the jpn text in the scene and it doesn't seem like Emmy calls it cute, and her tone isn't doing it either. seems like she's just like, 'Professor, let's do it!' which is interestinf
there's a point where Luke is freaking out about the specter and the power it has and how it's corrupted his father. emmy's like 'you cant seriously believe theres actually a specter!' but Layton says to Luke 'I believe the specter has the power you say it has'. Layton doesnt believe there's an actual monster re: the specter, but he believes there is something re: the specter, and that's the important thing. and Layton furthermore immediately goes on to say he's noticed something's up with Clark, himself. Layton is listening to Luke and taking his feelings and fears seriously and is validating him -- and this is so incredibly significant bc of Luke's whole feeling like he's unable to trust anyone during the game which is incredibly related to this but a bit separate so im trying not to digress. THE POINT. is. the difference between Layton and Emmy in this regard.
i dont remember if it's the same part -- i think it might be later but maybe not -- i think it's when Luke reveals how he can tell where the specter will appear next? -- but basically Emmy's kind of upset for lack of a better word that Luke had been withholding that info and is like 'are you hiding anything else, like what the specter has for breakfast?!' or something iirc. luke mind of apologetically defends himself with 'i didnt know if i could trust you' and Layton is totally understanding
EDIT: (i removed an example bc upon further reflection it wasnt necessarily relevant. i might readd it later)
then there's the part with Jakes' son near the end iirc
also the small part nearer the beginning iirc when Luke goes chasing after the cat and Emmy&Layton are chasing after him and Emmy complains to the professor 'he's acting like a child!' and layton's like 'heh well he is a child c; '
there's also how Layton treats/interacts with the Ravens
also when first meeting Luke and Luke's opening up slightly but then Clark comes in and starts scolding him which has Luke withdraw/angry/turn away and Layton's like, "Clark, please"
there's also the cutscene when they first see the specter, where before it appears. Layton asks Luke, 'well, luke, what do you think? do you see anything?', he says no nothing, and Emmy's like 'I still have a hard time believing this. it sounds like a scary bedtime story. is this even possible?'. Layton says, 'Well, we'll soon find out.' and then Emmy goes on to say 'and a poor boy who predicts where the giant specter will appear' and Luke's unhappy about her comment
ALSO when Layton tries to go after the Specter that scene and Luke grabs onto him and tells him not to go, Layton takes the time to talk to him. same for when Luke's freaking out when the police took Arianna away. Layton puts a hand on his shoulder, gets to his level, and talks to him seriously.
this isn't bashing on Emmy btw I actually enjoy this as part of her character and it makes sense to me the difference between her and Layton in this regard. im also not saying that shes like always like this with kids either. or that it's even kid specific. I genuinely think it's neat. I also think it's a super neat part of Layton's character.
also ive really got to either play through pl4 again myself or watch a playthrough to record all the specific instances again.
also Layton taking Luke's feelings and fears seriously and Luke coming to trust Layton at this time of his life means the world to me
#Professor Layton#Last Specter#the last specter#Spectre's Call#professor layton and the last specter#Ab Analyzes#pl4#Luke Triton#emmy altava#;ive tagges spectre's call even tho it's based on the last specter (us)#;either the same stuff is applicable or it isnt bc if diff scripts and#;if so feel free to talk about it bc i find it interesting

oh, you’re autistic? what scene from an animated tv show most accurately captures the feeling of your meltdowns and why is it one or both of these two
#im rewatching dead end#norma is such a real portrayal of autism#she is LITERALLY me#also i love it when shows delve into the negative side of autism#because it can be really disabling#huey is similar to abed in some ways#but he’s more angry#he blames himself for meltdowns and holds a lot of resentment toward himself#it makes me really sad bc i feel like that’s maybe closer to the way i actually am#huey is just. god his autistic meltdowns are relateable#this scene really captures the feeling that you’re out of control#and that you never want anyone to see that side of you#okay that’s enough analyzing ducktales im going to bed#de:pp#dead end paranormal park#norma dead end paranormal park#ducktales#huey duck

should i make more basic analysis vids like i did here? i’d just stick with analyzing shots + framing (and possibly bg music as well) since i feel i’m best at that rather than deep diving into subtext, but i’d still try to give my two cents on potential implications. they’d be 30 seconds long at most too
#twyla’s#just bc ppl ate up the last one i did so i wanna know what u guys think!#they wouldnt be too serious in the sense that i make jokes when analyzing a lot LMFAO#forgot to add hold on: i took a study of film class so trust ik what i’m talking ab 🙏

"the backrooms shouldnt have creatures it originally didnt" actually it did <3
a comment on the original photo says the following:
Particularly, "Got save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell heard you."
which is SO COOL AAawawagegfufnb........
but anyway yes. the original backrooms blurb (which, fun fact, was not immediately posted with the most popular image - posted below - but was instead a comment on the image thread) does imply that *something* is listening.
happy wandering <3
#fun fact the first time i heard ab it was a creepypasta naration by creepsmcpasta#and if i were to psychologically analyze myself i cling to it so hard bc of that and its one of the few 'childhood' things that Didnt get -#- tarnished by a creepy ass person :#anyway thank u bye#backrooms#the backrooms#fucking auto filled as backstreet boys
