Thinking about how if I just suck it up and finish writing my fifteen-page research paper on music in the Roman Republic and Empire, I can basically coast through the rest of the semester and instead turn all my attention to my Haechan enemies to lovers wip 🤩

…anything for motivation at this point

I don’t remember if I posted this already but uh

I was talking to @nightcrawlerzincorporated earlier about this but I can't get it out of my head. I find it really frustrating redditbros admit they want old Mac and Dennis back but they don't understand that Macden has to be gay now because Mac is no longer in the closet. When Mac was in the closet, RCG got to hide all of Macden's romantic subtext under the guise of plausible deniability, but now, when Macden interact, it is impossible to ignore the undercurrent that there is something more than friendship going on here.

I understand why RCG are nervous to make Macden canon because there is the fear that they can't come back from it, but absolutely nothing needs to change from Macden's old dynamic. If anything, not making Macden canon is actually changing the dynamic more than just letting them be together. They have always been joined at the hip and easily jealous. They fight and sabotage each other and then they remain together, doomed to perform the same little hijinks with each other day in and day out. With canon Macden, we can have more episodes like Macden Break Up and Suburbs again.

In a way, RCG are right too; they can't go back to the old dynamic without calling it what it is, so instead, Macden is stuck in this weird limbo. This is one of the biggest problems in seasons 13-15: RCG have no idea where to put Macden's affection for each other. Keeping Macden the same would be too obvious they are gay, but to make them antagonistic just feels wrong.

I think it's really difficult for redditbros to admit they actually enjoy watching a gay couple be toxic to each other. They hold the opinion that any queer couples on television are just pandering to the audience, so they will twist the Macden dynamic in any way that preserves their heteronormativity. I'm begging RCG not to listen to the redditbros. To preserve the longevity of their show, they need to embrace the dynamic they found worked for 12 seasons. Not to mention, as RCG themselves pointed out, "maybe it won't play in middle America, and maybe it's not even ready for the mainstream, but it'll win a ton of awards, and get a shit ton of attention from the liberal press." Sunny has always been a show that alienates a lot of viewers, and I think RCG need to be less afraid of alienating viewers who clearly don't get what they are trying to do. For the redditbros who will stick around, I think it'll allow them to realize maybe gay people in media don't always have to cater to the audience.

god give me the strength to write hatoful drabble involving shuu/isa & ryuuji so i can tell people what it was really like

Remember they brought on Riker and Deanna in the last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, and how offensive it was that Enterprise wasn't even allowed to finish their own show?

That's exactly what Star Trek: Next Generation has done to Star Trek: Picard. Except instead of displacing the Picard cast for the last four minutes, they displace the Picard cast for an entire season. For 1/3 of the entire show's run.

All of the Picard characters, except Picard himself, have been shunted to the side and are no more than wallpaper on the set- *IF* they are in the season at all. ONLY the Legacy TNG characters men matter. All of the Legacy TNG women do nothing but give the men someone to talk to or someone to rescue. They are furnishings that come with the ship. They are ghosts with no identity, no purpose.

Seven, who is one of the most dynamic Legacy Trek characters ever, and who was, for the first two seasons, integral to the story whilst simultaneously having her own thing going on, is diminished to taking abuse ad being dead-named from Shaw for most of the show, not being able to even be in the same room as her lover, and sitting in the shadows existing entirely so that Picard and his son can have someone to talk to.

Raffi, Ro Laren, Shelby- it's like they don't exist. Juratti and Laris are rarely acknowledged as even existing. You could digitally paint Seven out of most of her scenes, and almost nothing would change about the scene itself. You could digitally paint out most of these women and 90% of their scenes would barely change. And they fucking fridged Ro Laren.

How the cast of Star Trek: Enterprise felt about having TNG come in and take over their show at the 11th hour? That is how the Star Trek: Picard cast should feel, but worse because they were brought in at the 7th hour, not the 11th.

Matalas' hard-on for TNG men trauma-dumping and saving the day has done far more damage to Star Trek: Picard than that awful Enterprise ending ever could.

Jeri Ryan, Michelle Hurd, Orla Brady, Allison Pill, Evan Evagora, Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera all deserve to be furious, right now. We all do.

Even Jonathan Frakes acknowledges having him on Enterprise 'wasn't a great idea.' And yet he doesn't seem to have a problem with coming on Picard in season 3 and essentially taking over the entire show, pushing aside every one of the original Picard cast members, including Jeri Ryan.

He and Marina Sirtis have done the same thing, twice- coming into a show that was NOT about TNG, and by their mere presence, it becomes about TNG.

If I see one more asshole talk shit about my girl Soji being a Mary Sue while no doubt liking Jack "Most Specialest Nepo Baby Boy" Crusher, I'mma start kicking asses.

I can't, and I won't stop thinking about how hurt Ben was during ep 1 to ep 3, AND I DIDN'T GET TO SEE IT! MEAN JUST MEAN! my baby was suffering, and they didn't address it!

His face when Devi told him " I wouldn't let anyone treat you like that" WILL HUNT ME ALL MY LIFE!!!

How mad he was that he almost got Margot in trouble (someone that shouldn't be in his drama) because Devi was more important to him, AND I DIDN'T GET TO SEE HOW HE DEALT WITH IT AFTER

Oh I get it now, I like beefy arms.

Hello! You have been gifted the brain dump bug! Use when you want an excuse to talk about something that's been rotating in your brain!

The fact that "what are you gonna do after high school" is a socially acceptable question to make. I'm sorry if we're not close friends there's no way I'm answering that question without evading it. It's so invasive! This is my future you're talking about! My dreams, my hopes, my aspirations! The deepest corner of my soul and you expect me to hand it out to you just like that? Think again, because that's only a topic for close friends and some family members.

ranting too much these days but you guys legitimately make me so happy every time i come on tumblr and see new activity or interact with any new moots i just get so giddy (not the kep1er song) because it feels so fun to have online friends omg ☹️🫶

I’m running on a combined three hours of sleep if we’re lucky. Jake’s cover of I Don’t Think I’m Okay was beautiful and perfect but him saying that he chose to cover it because he could relate has sent me into perpetual worry. Not to mention I have already been under such stress that my immune system took a hit and now I’m sick. I have a quiz and a midterm today and another midterm on Thursday. If you never hear from me again, this is why.

A have a few doodles of legend going apeshit

Context

Edit: also it was kind of inspired by @/skyward-floored‘s whumptober fic with legend and fable from…last year

belift dpmo. literally wdym that enhypen's already planning a new album and tour. give them a BREAK omfg.. they mention how tired they are too.

you would be shocked by the number of times i have been told "you're too smart to be a teacher"

hello??? am i missing something???? are teachers not supposed to be intelligent??? heaven forbid the people responsible for educating future generations actually possess some intellect

so ra makes my blood boil every time she’s on screen she is so damn vile but the actress? holy fucking shit fully on my knees at your feet how does she play immensely arrogant and pitifully insecure all at the same time and so well??

some of tiktok ferrari fans be so weird because it's been awhile after Carlos and Charles broke up with their previous gfs yet they are still obsessed with their past relationship, bringing it up every 2 days and define those beautiful incredible women by the ONE relationship in their life. idk if its just me but i think it's kind of disrespectful because those women also have other great things you can talk about them without bringing up their exes
