#about buzzkill
Text
Still thinking about the upcoming Christmas special and how it really puts fans in a shitty position. On the one hand, it reeks of antisemitism with the involvement of goblin pirates singing about eating babies. On the other hand, if the special flops, they will 100% pin the blame on having a black queer Doctor and use it as "proof" as to why they need to stick to the status quo of having white cishet men play the Doctor, just like they did to Jodie.
I don't want to sit through a Christmas episode featuring blood libel, but I also don't want the first Black queer Doctor to fall flat because of bad writing choices.
(I also really don't like how seemingly the entire fandom is just... ignoring the antisemitism because the song is "boppy" like??? That's... uncomfortable.)
#lowkey im really disappointed in the fandom rn#i know we're all buzzed about ncuti but like.... guys.... cmon#pirate goblins singing about eating babies is NOT a good theme for a CHRISTMAS special#especially right now#doctor who#sorry to be a buzzkill or w/e but i just don't think ignoring blatant antisemitism is a good move

random tails angst prompt:

man you guys are (remembers that just because I dislike a certain character type or characterization decision, it doesn’t mean other people aren’t allowed to like it and think it’s cool nor was it made for me explicitly so I shouldn’t call them a dink for liking art I do not and vice versa) normal
#kipspeak#not about anything in particular it’s just sometimes I get tags on my posts#that are like boy I HATED this decision#and im like ??????? It was the natural progression of — I didn’t mind it. You’re a buzzkill#and then I remember opinions exist#and I just have different ones#and sometimes I block you because you’re a dink with the wrong opinion. JSKDJD#Hey why is the first thing that comes up when I search dink is childless couple. It means stupid… I thought?????

just thinking of tonights events and wanna say that it would be SOOO annoying if ppl started making every new song they played about whoever they think it’s about like speculation and shipping or whatever is fun i’m the last to judge about that but when it comes to the entirety of fob playing these songs to celebrate their whole career and give their whole discog love when they were afraid to for so long and give each show a unique and enjoyable experience and when the surprise 8 ball songs are coupled with speeches about how pete doesnt lay under a blanket and think about dying anymore i REALLY dont think what should be talked about Most is who the songs are about no matter who it is like i just think that would be veryyy reductive and lame when there is so much else to focus on!!!!
#and this is coming from a peterick shipper like i LOVEEE to look into things too deeply bc it can be fun but i do really think like#other things matter more. who the songs are about doesnt matter more than the fact the songs are being played in the first place#call me annoying or a buzzkill or whatever ik most ppl are joking but still it just like sucks#the idea that more ppl might care abt the shipping or making jokes abt it than the like actual. meaningful cool things going on . idk#im just in a very i love fall out boy mood and feel protective abt how big this tour clearly is for them#txt

I think I realized how severely humor infects all spaces when I witnessed two of my coworkers at the neuro clinic I’m interning at laughing at putting in a patient as deceased
#It wasn’t because the patient was dead it was because of an error the system did or something#But even joking about it in that context is fucking weird to me#I thought death would be the only thing humor couldn’t touch#Especially in the context of FTD which is a very aggressive dementia#I don’t think they’re bad people but I do think they’re weird as fuck for that#And if it were me I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing I made that kind of joke#I don’t mean to be a buzzkill but I have my limits and wtf was that#I didn’t say anything I just pretended to be engrossed in my paperwork#The neurologist I’m shadowing wasn’t present#And while I do think she’s a little too robotic when dealing w patients I don’t think she’d have been in on that joke#Just odd idk the us healthcare system already has issues but I think a big one I’m starting to see is#How desensitized the healthcare workers get#Where’s your heart#I love medicine for the humanism of it I don’t wanna become like this one day#I know some people are gonna tell me it’s Just Two Coworkers Being Silly#But can’t they be silly about something else

i need to start getting tattoos. the thought's been on my mind for years and i have multiple ideas i just haven't gotten around to it
#also idk if this is an unpopular opinion but there are definitely a few meaningless tattoos i want to get just because they're cool or funny#last person i was with was really serious about tattoos and was all about how they should all have a meaning or else don't get them#which is kind of a buzzkill tbh. i think people should get stupid tattoos if it makes them happy

I appreciate the sentiment but I really feel icky seeing the whimsical reaction to the April Fools thing as if this site's CEO didn't spend weeks personally harassing trans women like a month ago.
Remember ages ago when people finally got fed up with the funny, whimsical Denny's blog and actually fought back against the marketing and capitalist propaganda to the point that the company basically lost every bit of goodwill it had here and fucked off? Where's that energy?
The CEO of this site admitted that moderators were selling their services to TERFs and bigots, doxxed a trans woman and followed her off site, purged tons of blogs that criticized him, and I'm supposed to allow myself to be distracted by the reanimated corpse of the Facebook "poke" so that tumblr can earn some goodwill back? Fuck no.
#sorry to be a buzzkill but I'm not actually sorry at all#boop#predstrogen#I'm not actually opposed to whimsy but in relation to this site specifically I'm not a fan of praising the site for a dumb feature#instead of#i don't know#maybe fucking fixing your moderation system?#how about some transparency and accountability for bad actors?

Withers judging you for your love life (regardless of if you date or not) like, I'm not taking criticism from the dude who reportedly tried to seduce Shar.
#Sir you clearly lack judgement your opinion means nothing to me#You just want something to complain about#Like that time at the party where everyone was dancing and happy and he goes: “Thy wheel of fate turns ever to the dark.”#Yes Thank YOU Mr Buzzkill#lore stuff

**LT2 lyric spoilers**
Loud Edition
Haz and Lou, lads, you best call a plumber!
Constant leaking is surely a bummer.
Unheard songs from LT
Express just how much he
Loves his dog walker slash errand runner.
LOUD Edition
The same themes just keep on appearing:
Young love that won’t stop persevering,
Home, Next To You, fate,
And a Manchester date
To patron saint of Larries, Ed Sheeran.
AND LOUD Edition
“Lou, we really need you to break
These habits when you’re up on stage;
Your flirt and flamboyance
Are profit annoyance—”
“But we’re more than habits, me and H.”
#larry#louis#louis tomlinson#LT2#LT2 leak#spoilers#three songs mysteriously made their way through the DM ether of tumblr#lucky#all along#the way i do (mix 5)#'lucky' might be 'lucky again' from the FITF track list we saw on amazon#speculation is 'all along' was a track that didn't make walls#and 'the way i do' sounds even older#they're all LOUD LOUD and LOUD#not to be a buzzkill but i think the lyric is 'we'd grab some food then meet the lads for ONE'#like one drink at the pub#i think there's the usual plausible deniability in some#naysayers will think lucky is about getting back together with eleanor (or harry for those who think they broke up)#i'd like to think they got unimaginably lucky twice: finding the band and finding each other#as for the ed sheeran manchester lyric ...#there's no out there#ed's trending on twitter and i hope he's curled up in his blue/green tpwk heart socks enjoying our demise#ever since hearing 'habit' i've thought about how TPTB must have reprimanded louis#and told him to break his onstage habits (whether that was being too gay or too in love)#but harry's the habit he can't break#and now with this mention of it in 'the way i do' i'm even more convinced the lyrics are belated acts of defiance#limerick-lt#triple edition#aug 13#2022

I love when people from the suburbs move out into the wooded country because they’ll be out at like 1am recording themselves like “guys…. i just heard something fucking scawy guys” hearing screaming laughing creatures or someone being “murdered”and it’s always just a fox
#my neighbor moved from like city suburbs and was telling me the other day he saw this huge brown creature in his yard#He was so freaked out and i later found out that it was a groundhog#I hate being the autistic buzzkill but it’s annoying seeing posts on neighborhood forums about creepy wood sounds#Like wild dogs or coyotes or wolves also make horrific sounds. even elk and deer sound fucking weird#there’s plenty of creepy stuff in the woods that aren’t animals you goobers#And if youre out in the middle of the night with expectations of scary ghouls youll think any sounds are creepy

please give us the correct negative Ted lasso review
Oh my God. This feels like a trap but I can't help it
update from the other side, this is no joke 2k words long and it's not uh happy lmao so dead dove do not eat
TL;DR:
Bill Lawrence's involvement lessened every season and it fuckin' shows
There were arcs and plot points established over the first two seasons that the writers very obviously just changed their minds about for this season
Takes about this season being dark/ending sad on purpose are MUCH too generous. like giving WAY too much credit.
It turns out most of my feelings boil down to "it's not aggressively bad it's just nonsensical"
How tf was every episode twice as long as in previous seasons but everything important happened offscreen
FIRST OF ALL, since MONTHS before the season started airing, I've nursed a conspiracy theory that Bill Lawrence left the show because of creative differences with Jason Sudeikis and that therefore this season would be significantly less good than previous seasons. This started when I saw Bill tweet that he was going home, basically, and I figured we'd get "season 3 is in post" news shortly thereafter but instead there was that weird stuff about things being delayed because of rewrites...? Anyway, that is mostly to say that I was ready to think this season was worse because I love Bill Lawrence's storytelling and have forever and you should give Cougar Town a shot if you haven't yet it's no Scrubs but it's sweet
There were interviews early in the show in which I swear Jason/Brendan/whoever said they pitched the show to Bill because he's fuckin' good at TV and he basically said "this is a great idea but you're writing to the wrong ending, it should be this," and they were like "wow you're right that is a better ending." I can't find that now but I did find this from a more recent Bill interview:
I ran that show the first year because Jason was still shooting movies while we were doing the writers room. Then, at the end of that year, much like Gary with me, I was like, “Ah, I’ll spend a couple of months teaching him how to edit.” But after like a day or two, he’s like, “Yeah, I got it.” (Laughs.) So, the second year, we ran it together, and I’m only able to do other things now because that guy ran the show himself the third year, as it should be. It’s his voice and his world this season.
Now look, Bill Lawrence is obviously not trying to throw shade here because he's lovely and also this is a Hollywood Reporter article and how immature would that be, but I can throw shade for him and I will: Jason Sudeikis is a talented comedic actor and seems like a very nice man and he had a good idea for a show, and his instincts to involve an extremely experienced showrunner with an insane talent for feelsy found family sitcoms were good and he should have stuck to them!! Telling Bill Lawrence you're good after two days of editing instruction or whatever is stupid!! Insisting on your voice and your world when BILL LAWRENCE'S VOICE IS AVAILABLE TO YOU and also you CO-CREATED THE WORLD whatever gdi
OK fine I'll do Ted/Rebecca next. Obviously I was in for Ted/Rebecca. I wanted them to put their faces together. But look, I'm not a shipper over all else; over all else I want a good storyteller to tell me the story they want to tell. If I expect things or see them coming, that's not bad! That's good! If I'm surprised by things, that's good too as long as it holds together! "Subverting expectations" shouldn't look like spiting the audience, a lie is not a twist, etc. SO. If Ted and Rebecca were meant to be platonic soulmates, that's fine!!! I don't NEED them to kiss!!! But I do not believe these people are even friends in season 3, after season 1 and tbh most of my favorite parts of season 2 were about how much they impact each other's lives. That's a dropped ball and there's NO REASON to have not made time for them to interact meaningfully because every episode was so fucking long. Instead I guess we had to know how super sad Rebecca was about not being able to have children but not need to talk to anyone about it and immediately be fully over it. Also see a lot of lingering shots of Rebecca...looking at a matchbook...
sfjbkfgs early in the season they very obviously established that Rebecca's arc was going to be realizing she actually loves the team and wants to support them and see them succeed because of her own heart and not to spite Rupert, and I guess that happened but why didn't it happen gradually in ways I could see, why did it happen in an episode in which I'm supposed to have known all along that this has to do with her childhood self ?? and in which Rupert has a FULL personality change to facilitate her sudden realization. In what fucking world would he invite her to that meeting, because she's smart or because she brings ~diversity or because maybe he wants to sleep with her again? None of it tracks at all lmao but it was also the episode in which I really enjoyed Tony Head so whatever
speaking of not tracking, Nate.........I've never been invested in Nate especially but he was SO cartoonishly evil at the start and then kind of never again. I was braced for a redemption arc I wouldn't care about but that didn't even really happen?? he got a girlfriend and realized Rupert was a bad role model? it turns out his dad thinks he was a prodigy and always just wanted him to be happy, which, lmao WHAT where????? and what am I supposed to believe about Jade changing her mind about him btw because she's seen people be terrible to him at that very table before AND she has to know he loves the place and the food because he's there all the time, so what was the revelation that turned her from relatable-via-Nate-ambivalence to suddenly heart-eyes just fdslelugatw so much of my feeling about this season isn't even like it's bad it's just it's nonsense
One of my big complaints about the season is just Keeley's whole deal. Separating her from the team/rest of the cast was a wild choice. Barbara is fine but I also would have been perfectly fine without her and none of the other new characters for the PR side story added anything to the show. Especially if at the end Rebecca is just going to write Keeley a check for the chump change she needs to run the agency. Why didn't we just do that to begin with??? I guess this season I'm supposed to think Keeley ~learned to be independent in various ways but, again, I don't ?? And her needing to not be with Roy I guess as part of that and then get back together offscreen but then not really be together maybe but then also possibly having throuple vibes later that never get acknowledged feels, whatever, like something Bill Lawrence didn't write sdfjlsefaj,lwte I know this is my unsupportable argument that post I RBed was making fun of but idc
also Jamie wanting to be with Keeley at the end of the show feels extremely Harry Potter epilogue to me lmao Jamie you don't have to marry someone you went to high school with there are so many people
Roy was fine this season. He didn't have much to do but that's probably for the best lol. Him taking Ted's job is probably the only main character ending I feel like makes sense for this season and the overall show. Him training and begrudgingly becoming friends with Jamie was always funny.
OK one of the wrong reviews was basically like if you don't appreciate this season you don't appreciate classic tragic structure. Fuck off with that. First of all this was a sitcom about soccer so even if they were going for a classic tragedy in season 3 that's stupid and they shouldn't have been. But I also just don't think that's what was happening ??? I think I'm supposed to believe everyone gets a happy ending and I just don't. Like the whole oh it's sad that Ted ends up where he started and it's about how persistent optimism and kindness can burn you out or whatever, that's...if that's what they were going for, again, why tf, and also could we have seen that like. at all. Ted barely Teds for anyone this season (frex the previously mentioned never talking to Rebecca). ROY Teds more than Ted in season 3. If we got to see Ted trying to Ted even, like, twice, and either not being able to dig down and find the positivity or I guess noticing that he needs someone to be that for him, OK, fine. A Ted/Keeley scene would have been a PERFECT vehicle for this. Didn't happen. idk if we're supposed to think he's getting back together with Michelle but that would be so...so bad ??? like what about Tan Lines??? why even have Tan Lines??? even if not, we just left completely unaddressed her starting a relationship with their marriage counselor, which is also BAD lmao. God why did I have to see so much of Michelle this season. Michelle video calls every other episode and two lines for Dr. Sharon. Nonsense. lol one of my friends summarized Ted's ending as "yeah going back to the unfulfilling life that didn't work before the show started is a victory for our protagonist"
Even the soccer of it all re that whole thing was silly. Oh marriage counselor boyfriend is a bad guy because he doesn't care about the soccer game. Oh Ted is happy now because he's coaching Henry's rec league soccer team. like it's fine that EVERYONE is still together in Richmond but he's "home" now and still around soccer which is good because we definitely saw him learn to love soccer during the course of the show. sure Jan
(to be fair I am not the audience for "it's about the kid" plots so even if I felt like it worked from the start of the show for Ted to choose moving back to where Henry is, which I don't, I wouldn't care for it, so maybe those criticisms aren't especially valid) (I didn't care about JD's kid either)
speaking of the soccer though every single scene that revolved around the actual soccer team was essentially perfect. Great use of so many of those boys. Very few notes. Sam in particular had a few nice things this season and of course Colin. Another incorrect review by a critic I actually like very much was complaining about Colin's story this season and it being tired and overdone and not caring about Trent's or Isaac's parts of it, but I actually really disagree! It was well done and it was nice to see in the context of professional sports where, sorry, coming out and being received well is not a cliche thing that happens a lot! Also, hot take! Zava was a good part of this season! Nice contained little story that impacted some characters I actually care about plus he was legit funny! Sometimes things in a comedy should be funny! I'd honestly watch three more seasons of Richmond-focused half-hour episodes with idk probably Brett Goldstein in charge
I haven't mentioned Beard because I just never understood what I was supposed to think about him lmao. By far the funniest character overall but I never felt settled on whether he was meant to be a manic pixie comic relief BFF or if he was like...a real person?? It strikes me as potentially bad that he was so worried about Ted's mental state all the time and never really mentioned his own and that was sort of a thing in the weird s2 episode but then not again? I felt so much ire about so much else I didn't have any for him marrying Jane lmao but I do understand the people who are upset about that because that sure seemed pretty toxic, but wasn't it supposed to be played for laughs? Does that fit in a show that's supposed to mainly be about people treating each other well because we're all we've got? idk, RIP Beard, sorry your best friend in the world wasn't at your wedding because it would have been narratively underwhelming to see him leave and then see him back at a future major event or whatever
idk idk, season 1 Rebecca was one of my favorite characters ever and I was so angry in the middleish of the season about how much I felt like she was being wasted, but by the end I was just like...I mean, what's to be mad at. She's not even her anymore. Ted wasn't Ted anymore. Nate I guess literally reverted back to season 1 Nate which also is that...okay...him ending up lower than he started out feels not great
Good for Mae and the bar boys though, used just the right amount this and every season and always a damn delight
OK this is ridiculous I'm going to be done now. I do want to say I enjoyed several episodes this season a lot! A couple top 10 potentials! I really enjoyed the Amsterdam one actually because it reminded me of like a Nancy Meyers movie, very nice and warm, but it feels worth noting that that is not a feeling I would describe as being struck by fucking lightning :))))))
in conclusion maybe we as a nation can move on now from giving SNL alumni we find charming huge budgets and ethereally talented casts and collaborators and letting them get us emotionally invested in their midlife crises sandbox playing
#be warned that this is truly absurdly long and very very little of it is positive#so if you don't want to read 2k negative words about the soccer show that is perfectly fine#thank u anon for this opportunity to be a buzzkill on my own blog something i am weirdly hesitant to do unprompted#maybe this will be the final exorcism of these feelings and i can ~move on lol#life of catey#i didn't like the uh back half ish of barry either but i don't feel this strongly about it lmao

One thing I've been seeing a lot of recently that, quite honestly, really pisses me off, is people complaining about concertgoers who actually want to sit in their seats instead of stand/dance the whole concert. I have seen a lot of people saying that they are "bringing the vibe down," should just not come if they don't want to stand/dance, or that it's annoying because they don't want to feel guilty for standing in front of those people (if you feel guilty about it, maybe there's a reason). And I've seen a lot of- "Who even goes to a concert to sit, anyway?" So I will answer that question. For one, disabled people, like me.
Now, personally, I have a problem with the lack of accessible seating at the venues, not specifically with people who want to stand/dance (though if you are someone who complains about other people sitting because you don't like that vibe, I think you need to think long and hard about the inherit ableism of that complaint), standing and dancing is a totally valid way to want to experience a concert, and I don't want to take that option away from anyone. However, in my experience, concert venues are genuinely terrible about providing truly accessible seating. The "accessible" seats (which to most venues seems to exclusively mean you can get a wheelchair there) are often on the floor, and as soon as the rest of the crowd stands up, any visibility of the stage is gone. Those of us who are unable to stand don't have any choice about this ("If you want to see, stand up, too. The artists encourage people to dance!" is a comment I have heard frequently when this topic comes up), which is frustrating when you're at a show for an artist you're excited to see and that just becomes an impossibility for you.
There are so many overlapping issues here, including, but not limited to- the fact that wheelchair accessibility is not the only accommodation needed by many people, the fact that there are rarely (if ever) any sections that require people to sit and therefore meaning that visibility is frequently limited or non-existent to people who are unable to stand (for whatever reason, be that age, health, injury, etc.), the fact that many of us are both publicly shamed for sitting (because we are not perceived as disabled) AND publicly shamed if we access any kind of accommodation (because we are not perceived as disabled), and the fact that "accessible" seating is often incredibly limited to begin with.
Anyway, my intent is not to shame people who like to stand and dance during concerts (I would love to be one of you), but to remind people that your experience through life is not anyone or everyone else's and it's important to take a mental step back and consider an experience outside of your own. And also to remind people that concert venues are often incredibly inaccessible and do very little to create genuinely accessible spaces.
P.S. People are allowed to sit if they want to, even if they are completely capable of standing and dancing. They do not owe you a specific "vibe" and there is more than one way to enjoy live music.
#personal#td#rant#concerts#venues#inaccessibility#ableism#tw: ableism#not all disability is visible#the amount of times I've heard people make cutting comments like 'why is she even here if she's going to sit- it's such a buzzkill'#because I am often incapable of standing at concerts is infuriating#like girl if i stand up i am going to pass out smash my head on the concrete and then everyone in this area's night is gonna suck because#you're gonna have to deal with the paramedics coming in here to deal with me#like i am not sorry for killing your vibe#and i've seen this several times recently online where people are complaining about people sitting at concerts#anyway#long post
