this is all I can muster right now, too busy having my brain absolutely melted by the September schedule, what is happening

there are many retellings & adaptional choices i really don't like when it comes to writing new stories about old myths, and that i feel are boring or ignoring interesting points & implications or unfamiliar with the topic or ancient cultural context in a way that rubs me the wrong way. BUT the way some people on here talk about myth retellings as if retelling them is in and of itself a bad thing, or that retellings are somehow 'staining' the 'meaning' of the 'original myth', and Particularly posts that just seem to be hating on the people writing these books not for any real constructive point but just because they think Change Is Bad is going to make me feel bonkers insane fr. come on guys

thinking about how the scene where Izzy shoots himself and misses isn't actually just about "haha, see, he's not dead, he just missed", it's about how it is about Izzy Hands dying. it's about how old Izzy Hands, the toxic, tragic image of a golden age pirate, is dead; it's about how he had to kill the part that was perpetuating the horrors and the abuse to save the crew.

had he not done that, Izzy Hands wouldn't have been able to get up on the deck, because old Izzy Hands would have to abide by the rules of common sense and reality. he'd have to die tragically at the hands of the man he loves. he'd have to rot for what he's done. but he does the one thing that he wouldn't in season 1: he becomes part of the crew, and that crew never abided by real life logic. Izzy Hands climbs to the deck on one leg with a poorly treated festering stump and stands as tall as he can, in the most unrealistic fashion, and he lives.

ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story

Buggy being a ball of anxiety and stress over not only his own life, but also Rogers.

His kitty shirt.

Shanks trying to calm him down but failing because he's just too nonchalant about everything and doesn't get it.

Rayleigh and Gaban grabbing Buggy by his little pompom hat like he's some small angry kitten.

Roger not giving a fuck about danger.

Buggy's kitty shirt.

lust. for power.

I don’t think you guys properly appreciated the new bars 😔

For people who are demanding to know how the hell “Take Me to Church” never hit #1, I went and looked it up—

That was when “Blank Space” was #1 for seven weeks.

I’m sure Taylor will be all over the charts once a full week has passed from the Tortured Poets release, but I find it delightful that Hozier finally got his #1 the same weekend she dropped a double album. Like it just feels like planets returning to the same alignment, it feels right.
