"You and Me and Them" by Hess Is More https://ift.tt/1RFOBIh

If you cannot break from the eggshell, the world is naught but a prison where you are blinded and confined.

whenever i think about how sara hess, a lesbian, wrote the most queer episodes that could have aired on network tv in the 2000s, i explode. how do you write “you’d be surprised what you can live with?” and wilson literally proposing to house in public as a joke and neither of them mention it again, toxic lesbian patients that literally mirror house and wilson, house buying flowers for wilson to prove cuddy likes him (sureeee), and thirteen having one night stands with women to cope with her terminal illness and having to deal with one of her one night stands dying as well, HELLO????

A homestuckie and a echo(fvn) enjoyer?! This means you are legally required to give all the echo cast classpects since you know everything ever about echo and homestuck, so, Please. tell -m-e- us what chunter's aspect is.

Chunter's a prince of blood

mired in cyclical suffering, given to destroying everything he has, gods speaciealest little boy? It's so obvious to me

As for the others,

Leo- Knight of Hope

Carl- Heir of Space

Tj- Mage of Life

Jenna- Seer of Heart

Flynn- Thief of Rage

Leo's so entirely like me, he gets my exact classpect. i used to hate him for it but now I love him for it

Carl I used to think could be Mind or Life aspect-wise, and possibly a bard classwise. Hell, there's an argument to be made for Witch of Space. Carl's hard to get a grasp on when it comes to these things. He's so often a non-actor in the story, but his inaction comes across as self-serving sometimes. His route lends the most credibility to both the Mind and Life aspects, in relation to Carl's need to decide what he wants without input from others as well as the decisions which granted him his family fortune. Actually. Witch of Mind Carl. Final answer.

Tj is pretty defined by his knowing of the details of the tragedy which changed everyone's life. Mages are prophets whose words both harm and benefit them. Tj is damned if he says the truth and damned if he doesn't. Keeping it in burns him and yet keeps things the way they are. Saying it frees him and yet causes everything to collapse.

Jenna's Classpect I saw coming from the beginning. Biased as she is, her every word on the conduct of her friends is correct. She manages to see through to the heart of Echo but fails to see it as anything of worth. It's a place she hates with her whole being, I think. Her problem isn't if she can see, but whether she can judge it fairly

Flynn i also saw from the beginning. Rage concerns actual rage, but also arbitrations, tangents, and contrivances. Flynn seeks to cut through all the bullshit that rage represents, which is honestly a pretty Light thing to do, but i believe he shares more in common with Blood and worldly suffering than with Breath and detatched idealism. Thieves struggle to be good, but I don't think that's flynn's thing completely. He wishes to join the two versions of his persona that exist, but this doesnt map very cleanly onto any class. Thief it is

wanted to post this stupid shitpost right after pride month ended but anywho. love loses </3

also heres the nonshitpost version because i like it:

In the middle of my HotD rewatch

The gyroscope of interpretation on this show has been at the forefront of my rewatch along with now having read some of the script and read/watched cast interviews.

This one inference made by Olivia Cooke (via Sarah Hess) has plagued me for the first few episodes.

Now, now I know these waters are really muddy what with a few obvious conceptual things: "isn't this queer baiting" "if it wasn't it wouldn't be good sapphic representation anyway" "this is an actors interpretation" blah blah blah. I'm not arguing any of that.

Just that Olivia's head canon held against this scene hits SO MUCH HARDER

Because I gotta say MY GOD imagine how that strikes Alicent if at some point her mother caught them together. Before they even really knew what they were doing (objectively to the tune of they were 13/14 not fully clear on platonic/romantic love) her mother impressed upon them it was wrong. When they denied and in some way or another Alicent/Rhaenyra saying "she never touched me." Only for Alicent to hear it echoed back to her years later like this... Knowing that even in her naïveté she would recognize the truth. That Alicent’s mother, naturally, kept this contained. Which honestly plays more to truly making Alicent more complex by the way she saw what “scandal” her mother covered up for her only for her to act out some perversion of this with Aegon when she’s a mother. A learned behavior twisted in the worst way, because that's what she knew.

Listen I fully understand that this show is NOT taking this angle even though there seems to be a huge division between what some writers and actors are playing to and the editors at HBO imaginably being like "what's all this gay shit?" BUT

I think it's part of what this show missed about TRAGEDY and I mean come on you want drama???? These girlies were ready to hand it to you on a silver plater! In this context I needed:

Rhaenyra being devastated by the news that Alicent was going to be marrying her father. The sheer heartbreak of “this can’t be happening” and knowing she would have lost Alicent to a husband but not THIS. Show her with Syrax, confiding in her dragon because now she has no other friend to talk to - I’m just saying if they were going with the context of “Fire & Blood itself is an unreliable narrator and only shows certain people’s views” - then a scene like this disrupts nothing. Tell me how when they prayed together and Alicent told her to "kneel with me" that part of Rhaenyra prayed for that world where they flew off on dragon back and ate cake.

Alicent being devastated - having her heart torn in two, crying behind every closed door knowing she was going to break the heart of her best friend. The deleted scene does give a peak of that being the case - but again it could/should have been included. Show me Alicent begging Rhaenyra to forgive her and desperately saying she loves her. I think one of the things that Team Green argues the most could have been explored by this avenue, Alicent is a victim of her marriage - it would be inherently more compelling if in the process she is also losing the closest thing to a "first love" she had. Show me Alicent at her desk writing letters to Rhae once a week and then ceremoniously burning them in the braziers. Alicent leaning more into religion as a means of getting out from under her repressed desires and past actions.

Show me both women struggling in their adulthood to even remember why they held "such childhood affections" for each other. Knock the fucking wind out of me with a line like, "the worst part of it all was that they only ever wanted to love each other."

To me one of the worst parts of this production (of which there's a few) has got to be this was the apex of completely missed opportunities to explore. In the premise of "going by unreliable sources" their queerness would be suppressed information. I even think it plays into the dynamic between Rhae-Alicent-Criston in a kind of "Jennifer's Body" way where Rhae was really only interested in him as the object of Alicent's desires which I believe is made a little clearer in the books. A kind of "see this could have been us if you didn't marry my bag-of-bones father" for Rhaenyra who clearly had no aversion to consorts.

I'm sorry to go on this rant, and yes I KNOW - the counter arguments for many of these points. I would even argue some of them further such as the sapphic representation not being invalidated simply because both women do end up with men in the source material. If this was the case then why was "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" received so well? This at the very least to say if they made Alicent and Rhaenyra explicitly queer it would still be less controversial than what the queer men on that show got … Still its not even to say "it's a better way" to explore more of Rhaenyra and Alicent's characters but its at least A WAY to do it. More than we got. Surely both sides could agree on that.

Sorry, now I'm just being pedantic. As a queer woman naturally I have a bias but I still think this was objectively a missed opportunity to explore. Both girl's back stories could have been enriched and tbh a lot of HOTD fans I know also had the same complaint that the time skip came in too early. I think it also makes things less likely to be so divisive between TG and TB when you look at the central pillars of this conflict. You can truly grieve for Alicent and Rhaenyra and what they lost already while on the verge of losing it all. Anyway, I gotta go cry about my divorced lesbian war wives.

please i can’t stare at this homosexual any longer

on the nature of love.

yknow when instagram sometimes regurgitates really old posts at you?

I don't know what to do

talk about the inherent homoeroticism of being in a band

There's a scene in Flechette's interlude where her and Sophia save a woman from being robbed/beaten/killed/worse from a group of men, and afterwards the woman starts brutally beating one of the tranquilized guys with a trash can lid. Flechette wants to stop her from possibly killing the man because she'll regret it, but Sophia refuses to do that because she thinks it's better that they don't take the woman's control away for the second time that night. I think that's super interesting honestly, since Sophia isn't generally someone you'd expect much compassion from, but I think she saw herself in that woman. We don't know much about Sophia's trigger, but I'd wager it stems from being helpless and trapped and out of control. She's a character that lashes out and hurts others to bring back her fragile and frayed sense of security and ensure to herself that she won't be helpless again, and that woman getting retribution on her attackers with violence seemed to strike a chord with her. It happens with Emma as well, Sophia is rather sympathetic in her own way to those who have been put down and made helpless yet fight back, I think she sees herself in them. But for Sophia, she can't lash out against the one who forced her to be helpless (likely her step father). She doesn't have much of a choice but to go day after day without getting revenge, which leads her to take it out on the nazis and gangsters of the city (good), and of course Taylor (less good). I think being Regent'd so thoroughly is probably one of the worst things that could ever happen to her, just because of the sheer helplessness and complete lack of control she had as she watched him ruin her life, and I always get sad when I read that interlude. She didn't deserve all of that. She's not a great person, but she was 13 when she got her powers and she's a scared traumatized kid like everyone else. Idk I think she's neat and has a lot to explore and redeem honestly

A thought just dawned on me this morning and I theorize the reason why so many people went up in arms in defense for the Sonic Movies was because they maybe thought my criticisms were being directed at Tyson Hesse by proxy?

So just want to clarify something here - if there was one western person who I'd absolutely, completely, 100% trust with Sonic

it'd be Tyson Hesse.

Literally everything this man touches is gold, I cannot stress enough how much I adore his work, Sonic or his own original stuff like Boxer Hockey and Diesel. I even bought the first Diesel issue from the original run over ten years ago!

It helps that not only does he speak and understand Japanese fluently, so the cross-communication between him and Sega must be much more stream-lined, but he also lived in Japan for a spin and his wife's half-japanese too I think?

He not only gets it from a cultural perspective but has the phenomenal amount of talent on top of just fundamentally understanding Sonic so well. If he were in charge of the movies from the get go instead of having to do damage control, I have zero doubt in my mind he would've knocked it out of the park and into the stratosphere where it'll dance in the constellations of mankind's best movie adaptations.

I trust this guy's work THAT much. I'm so happy he gets to work on it when he does!

Plus, it's super inspiring seeing someone from the fireball20xl days of internet fandom being so successful and well-regarded.

6 Songs on Repeat

@korblez tagged me for this and aside from the fact I'm not 100% sure on the rules (and my "on repeat" playlist is cobbled together from what Last.fm tells me) I'm gonna make this up based on what I feel like I've listened to the most recently that I haven't already talked about for magic wand:

Thank You by Hudson Mohawke [spotify] [tidal] (I wanted to know if the Cbat album was any good. It is. Thank You is the best song tho imo. We're not gonna talk about how I listened to Cbat multiple times because I wanted to understand it)

Lovefool by The Cardigans [spotify] [tidal] (yes this is on Fabian/Spinder and Thade/Pirianus playlists and it's stuck in my head)

Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels by Todrick Hall [spotify] [tidal] (technically I was listening to it because of this amazing MP100 edit but then I went and listened to his albums ICON and Roach Killaz and you should too)

Spa by Icona Pop and Sofi Tukker [spotify] [tidal] (I was listening to the entirety of Club Romantech (Deluxe) and maybe it's because I'm not from a sauna culture but I find a song about being tired from the club and going to the sauna delightful)

Bend The Rules by Anomalie and Chromeo [spotify] [tidal] (absolutely obsessed with this album [Bend The Rules (Deluxe)], which is mostly remixes of Bend The Rules. obsessed with the entire concept of remix albums to be perfectly honest)

Film by Nikolaj Hess, Tony Scherr, and Kenny Wollesen [spotify] [tidal] (the entire album is great but I love this song so much. also go listen to Nikolaj's brother Mikkel, aka Hess Is More)

I'll tag @vacantgodling, @multi-lefaiye, and @revenantlore plus anyone else who wants to jump in!

In addendum sometimes I think about how Young they made Psimon and it boggles my tiny brain. His backstory is that he used to be a physicist and got in contact with Trigon. Do you think that little twink went thru anything even remotely similar.

How the hell did he navigate life until being recruited (?) by queen bee. I need to know so many things about him.
