omg can u do a collection of auston with lgbtq+ symbols? i don’t think i’ve seen any of the pics u mentioned (love ur blog btw. so much :))

auston matthews and his (probably not that intentional but still meaningful) lgbt support that i will take with me to my grave 🙏

first of all, from this video during the pandemic he did with gq sports about his 10 essentials... he picks slides as one of his ten essentials, including this pair of fluffy ugg ones that were part of a pride collection in trans colors.

there is also THIS picture. it looks like it was from his/someone's story at the time, but i don't know the exact source.... it's one of my favorite images of him on the planet.... standing there in his all black outfit in front of a rainbow like 🧍‍♂️ what compels you?

nike came out with some pride merch with a line called 'betrue' and auston's worn a shirt, as well as some other nike pride stuff below like the air force 1s

on top of this.. earlier this year at tiff, he was seen (flirting) with priyanka, a popular canadian drag queen. here is the vid and a pic below.

he's also always partaken in the pride stickers on the helmets and pride tape despite being very particular and superstitious about his equipment.

which after all the fuss during the season last year... was still meaningful. ANYWAY... that's pretty much everything i know of, but if i'm missing anything .... PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME

#easks #hockeycomp #toronto maple leafs #auston matthews #AUSTON MATTHEWS GAY REP and of course #the lil chakra bracelet today like #things like the be true collection is jsut liek....#the nikes????? the plain white with tiny rainbows. like why would u purposely seek that out if not...#if i literally speak #also thank u for the love lol <3 hope this satisfies #there was also this nike hoodie that was part of a pride collection but #to my memory only mitch and mo wore that i THINK #could be wrong #i have not analyzed all of his outfits since the dawn of time.. these are just oens ive seen pointed out #lp

i hope arlecchino is actually evil and not fake evil “oh no it was all a misunderstanding actually” i need actually wicked female antagonists that have no redemption arcs bc they never thought they were wrong.

#don’t say kafka bc she isn’t doing it for me #honestly she’s more like just doing whatever she wants #than actually antagonistic #in honkai star rail that is #i need playable characters that have done grievous harm and are NOT sorry about it #genshin impact #arlecchino #i also hope the guy that seems to be the judge in court is those really black and white type of characters #i hope genshin finally gets creative with their character building and not the same old #everyone is good yada yada #it’s so plain #WHERES THE RANGE ???

ok last met post but i just gotta say, gonna be so real idk shit ab fashion i didn't end up in that genre of gay unfortunately. but is it just me or are 99% of the other men dressed so boring compared to barry LOL like unbiased. i wouldn't even be able to tell there was a theme just looking at the men if i hadn't seen his outfit?? i haven't seen all of them granted but just watching them come up on my explore i'm like... it's all just tuxes with a sad attempt at accessorizing where is the Flavour

#even troye my love my sweet boy did not eat i fear :( i had high hopes but he couldn't save it #anyway idc i was just there to see sabrina and barry LOL #back to writing gay shit #austin could've saved it if he was there perhaps if he dressed anything like his 2022 look again #callum wouldn't have (with love) but he still would've looked good in his usual plain tux lmfaooo #also not a pop culture guy so i'm so unfamiliar w most celebs so i was sad the few i care ab were lacklustre LOL

This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will simply try to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war. - Erich Maria Remarque (x)

[ID: five gifs of the Netflix trailer of All Quiet On The Western Front. The first shows the No Man's Land at night with a white flare in the sky. The second one shows Paul Bäumer, a young white man with short blond hair, as he walks into a room, carrying his uniform in front of him. The third gif shows german soldiers in world war one uniform moving away from the camera. The fourth gif shows the same soldiers, now moving towards the camera, which is focusing onto Paul Bäumer. The last gif shows a battlefield with corpses and a granade hits. All of the gifs are overlayed with german text in all caps reading: Dies ist weder einer Anklage noch ein Bekenntnis. Es ist der Bericht über eine Generation, die vom Krieg zerstört wurde, auch wenn sie seinen Granaten entkam. - Erich Maria Remarque. /end ID]

#hii #okay this is my first try at IDing my gifs #please tell me if i made mistakes #especially if using options like making the text bold or smaller makes it incompatible with screen readers!#if so then i'll change it immediately/ add plain text to the ID #anyhow #so where's my fandom for this book? haha #is there a fandom? idk. just working with this book for my paper and it's one of my favourite books so i'm super excited for this movie!#hope you like the gifs :)#all quiet on the western front #im westen nichts neues #my gifs #oh and also people who wanna go onto a taglist for my gifs: feel free to send me an ask or tell me in a comment/ reblog :)

Idk if anyone talked about it but like on an impulse's stream a few days ago I guess ppl were pointing out how light skinned bdubs' character was on that graffiti and scar was confused by that, and on impulse's stream he actually mentioned it to him bc bdubs himself didn't actually think about it. Obvious from a viewer pov we notice the difference between him model skin versus that graffiti, it's obviously different. But from the irl perspective, and someone I wondered about myself, is that bdubs' was like. "idk if I'm white" lol. And it's a valid thing to question tbh and I hope some fans here heard that. He knows he has middle eastern descent and he recognizes that but it seems he never thought about whether or not he considers himself white or not, especially in the context of not thinking twice about the block color on the wall. I'm not saying this to make any kinda point I'm just mentioning it bc I found it interesting hear him actually kinda address that fact

#it doesnt change the fact we see a color difference regardless #in things like the mc marketplace especially #and that art was also just plain bad lol #but from like. idk the word not 'political' you know #perspective to hear it from his end just. means more than fan assumptions ya know #thats the thing too when yoire not black i hear a lot of people wkth slightly dark skin who sometimes say they dont know #if they consider themselves white. not regarding priviledges of skin color #its kinda... up to the person to see if they think theyre in that category #and i hope people dont try to 'decide' for him bc thats not the way #and i also hope people dont get mad or some shit

Learned Felix hates pizza today. I get it now.

#twf #the walten files #also the more i learn the less things are looking good for felix not being behind a majority of things 😬#only time will tell #look i just hope if he is that its like cool and interesting that is my only request fjdncnxn qwq which i'm sure it will be #twf spoilers #i just think plain old vanilla “Felix did it and is Bon William Afton style” is just too easy for a series that considers itself a puzzle #i do agree jack being bon makes no sense because he wouldn't do that???? and it lacks a lot of evidence #oh felix buddy what are you up to???

let’s talk about

the snow ball

how it foreshadows byler and how it explains mike’s sudden change in behavior in the next season(s)

gonna start this by saying that (allegedly) there are no coincidences in this show, everything means something, and a big thing the writers like to do is parallel scenes and foreshadow situations with others, this is how i interpreted this characters and scenes so you are free to disagree

if something has a parallel, it is similar to something else, but exists or happens in a different place or at a different time, and it could happen between different people

i think that when people think of the snow ball their mind immediately goes to mileven and lumax, so you might be wondering how in the hell would that ever contribute to the idea of byler being endgame? you just have to pay attention to the love triangle between max, lucas and dustin

we start this whole thing with lucas asking max to dance and her agreeing, dustin being visibly upset

while all this unfolds, this random girl that no one knows and has no relevance to will in the future, asks him to dance

will reluctantly says yes, after being pressured to by mike (which he later seems to regret) and we get this shot

as viewers, we’re supposed to be focusing on dustin. this whole scene is supposed to be about him “not getting the girl”, it’s supposed to make us feel bad because he is sad, and it’s showing us that ultimately max chose lucas

but we are also supposed to “read in between the lines”, yes, this scene is about dustin and how devastated he feels max likes lucas and not him, but it’s subtly showing us the same for mike and will

the way mike is looking at will and this mystery girl is the same way dustin is looking at max and lucas, with sadness, and we overlook this because that’s how the directors and writers intended us to. we are supposed to be focusing on dustin, the audience isn’t supposed to realize that there is something else going on between mike and will, this is just buildup, subtle buildup

something i’d like to add to solidify how mike and will are a parallel to max and lucas’s relationship, is the fact that they share quite a few (romantic on the lumax side but seen as platonic on the byler side) parallels between each other, im not gonna get into it rn, but these are just a few examples

going back to the dance, we see the two couples paired together: max and lucas and will and rando, we know by now that max and lucas are endgame, there is no denying that

here’s the thing, this scene is supposed to represent that dustin’s romantic relationship/feelings for max are going nowhere, it’s supposed to show us that while he did have a crush on her, there isn’t any hope for them anymore (we solidify this thought because dustin gets a girlfriend the next season and max and lucas, although they break up by season 4, are still in love and still going strong)

obviously both lucas’s and dustin’s feelings for max are very obvious, because they want the general public to know what’s going on, there really isn’t any buildup for a future dustin and max relationship, or for a “will max and lucas end up together?” storyline, because the intention was to show the audience that they will

so again, how would this foreshadow byler?

think of it this way: max and lucas represent mike and will, so if mike and will often parallel max and lucas, this was a way showing us that lumax being endgame, means byler will be as well, really the love triangle between max lucas and dustin represents the one between mike, will and el

in this scene mike is being paralleled to dustin, showing us that while he wanted more than a friendship, that’s all he’s ever gonna get

the thing is tho, will isn’t dancing with anyone relevant, not someone who will come back and want to date him and not someone he has feelings for, if putting mike and dustin in the same position meant that it was the end of whatever romantic relationship could’ve been between them and their crush, they would’ve paired will with someone he actually likes

or

they would’ve switched mike and will’s places

they would’ve shown us mike asking eleven to dance in front of will, and will being the one that’s upset

in the oficial script of season 2 we see this

this doesn’t actually happen tho, instead we get mike pining over will, which i think is a clever way to subtly show that he had feelings for him from early on as well, feelings he wasn’t aware of. because while he probably did have a crush on el, he also had a crush on will. only his feelings for will had been there for a long time being mistaken as friendship, something he came to realize until that night at the snow ball

after convincing will of dancing with the girl, there is immediate regret in mikes face, (as previously stated) i think mike going for the kiss with eleven was his way of trying to see if he really has something other than platonic feelings for will, or if it was nothing (this is also the last time we get cute and wholesome mileven, right after this it’s mostly mike and el constantly fighting and having an unhealthy relationship)

i think this is the moment michael wheeler realizes his feelings for his best friend hence why we get this scene in season 3

and why right after season two, mike starts acting different

#listen i know this is a mess but it made sense in my head #feel free to tell me if this is stupid/a reach because idk if this is me being somewhat clever or just plain delusional #trust me i know this is all over the place #also i read this so many times it somehow started making sense idk #byler #byler analysis #mike wheeler analysis #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #i’m just gonna post this and hope for the best lmao

5. What are your fanfic pet peeves? Do they have a huge effect on whether or not you decide to read something? :)c

i think one big thing that can certainly put me off the fic is formatting? endless paragraphs are one thing but...

ok, look, it can be an amazing story, but if i keep getting confused about who's talking, or especially if there are two different people talking in the same paragraph (something that bothers me endlessly), i might just give up and drop it.

if we're talking content wise, i think especially in romance (but this can apply to friendships too)— if i don't feel like the characters love or care about each other unless they spell it out? that's. not good. you know, when they say "i love you" and you're just there blinking at the screen like, DO YOU????? that.

i think these two points in general do sway me a lot.

A.J Pollard’s biography on Edward IV was so cringe lol (generic; minor but frustrating inaccuracies; intensely judgmental at times and oddly dismissive at others while never considering the broader context; entirely diminished and trivialized Elizabeth Woodville as both queen and wife of his main subject in the name of "defending" her; created a false dichotomy between Edward and Henry VII’s styles of ruling and lauded the latter at the former’s expense even though Henry literally followed Edward’s example for the very things Pollard was criticizing Edward for; had a downright nonsensical and thoroughly misleading conclusion about Edward’s legacy & Richard’s usurpation that was based entirely on hindsight, Pollard's own assumptions, and the complete downplaying Richard’s agency and actions to emphasize what Pollard wrongly and misleadingly claimed were Edward's so-called 'failings', etc, etc)

I wanted to buy his book on Henry V but after reading this shitshow and the synopsis of that book, im guessing it's going to be 10x worse, so...no thanks

#history media #this was written months ago im posting it to get it out of my drafts #it wasn't necessarily BAD. it was generic and readable. but it was very disappointing and misleading and its conclusion was just nonsense #listen I have no patience for the dumbfuck idea that edward somehow had the ultimate responsibility for his own son's deposition because #of his 'policies' during his reign. like I said it's based fully on hindsight and entirely devoid of actual context. it's bafflingly stupid #literally everyone expected Edward V to succeed his father and 'both hoped for and expected' (Croyland's own words) a successful reign #Edward V's deposition was richard and solely Richard's fault lol this should not be difficult to understand #the reason Richard's usurpation was possible in the first place was bcause everyone expected E5 to succeed and didn't expect Richard #do to what he did. nothing would have happened without his initiative and decisions. it had nothing to do with Edward's 'policies'#Edward's policies were fine. henry vii - who pollard vaunts to no end - literally *followed* them #and claiming that he failed to unite England under the Yorkist dynasty is just plain stupid #buddy if he truly failed at that then neither Richard III nor Henry VII would have thrones lol. both emphasized continuity with #him when aiming for the throne. like the whole point of 1483-85 was that it was a conflict WITHIN the 'Yorkist' dynasty #it was not an external threat against it.#'his legacy failed' his legacy didn't fail his brother destroyed it (while also presenting himself as his heir because logic what's logic?)#henry's victory was very much the triumph of his legacy (a claimant chosen by his supporters as the husband of his daughter)#like this is really not my interpretation it is literally what happened #i'm not trying to glorify e4 but his son did inherit the throne in a more advantageous circumstances than any other minor king of england #and frankly than most other adult kings. dumping blame on Edward's literal corpse rather than acknowledge Richard's agency is so tasteless #the problem isn't that edward made a mistake in trusting his brother. many other kings including Henry V also trusted theirs.#the problem is that his brother was willing to break that trust in a way that was unprecedented and broke all political norms of that age #ie: Richard's usurpation occurred because of Richard who re-ignited conflict to make himself king. please drill this into your head #also btw this illogical 'interpretation' is based entirely on Charles Ross' hatred and derision towards Elizabeth Woodville and her family #if you agree with this inteterpretation you agree with his vilification of them 🤷🏻‍♀️#anyway if you want a better interpretation that's actually analytical and looks a relevant rather than a flawed retrospective perspective #i would recommend rosemary horrox's 'richard iii: a study of service' and david horspool's 'richard iii: a ruler and his reputation'#anyway one last time: STOP downplaying Richard's agency and actions. historians who do this are stupid and embarrassing. bye.#(i should really post horspool's glorious takedown of ross and Pollard huh? it was very entertaining to read)
