I love when asoiaf fans realize how shitty arranged marriages are but only for the male characters. Like a man could do the vilest shit to his wife and they’ll be like ‘aw poor baby he was in a loveless marriage :(‘ but god forbid a woman is mean to her husband lol

i'm an early seasons steve harrington apologist. sorry. he was not a bad person he was not a bad boyfriend he was literally just 17

ughhh thinking back on the original atla and lok by association reminds me of how much the writers of these shows just... cannot write a good romance.

I tried listening to Olivia Rodrigo and I'm sure this is really good for its target audience of Teen Girls Going Through A Breakup but has she actually ever put out a song that isn't about a guy cheating, breaking up with her and moving on to someone else?

like babe he's not coming back it's been 2 years you gotta find something else in your life

not for nothing Frank was a bitch ass TV dad, idc. every time i watch Moesha he aggravates my soul

Is it just me or does it feel like a lot of the lis fandom doesn’t understand that teenagers can’t consent to “relationships” with grown fucking adults

GUTS is emmeline's album btw

It’s so weird that the Duffers say that the Wheelers are the core family

Ted and Karen have a loveless marriage and Karen was about to sleep with an 18 year old

their children are fighting interdenominational monsters (their parents know nothing about) who are unable to take any responsibility for their shitty mistakes and are coddled by everyone

and Holly is great I love her

anyways it’s not like this was the first season that this shit happened they continually don’t develop so it’s unenjoyable to watch

anyways the real heart of the family is the

byer-hoppers

every day i think about when i asked my student what music she was listening to and she was like "im kind of an oldhead 😝 im listening to usher" and i felt myself age 1000 years

Yknow there's something about the way the Yellowjackets fandom talks about Jeff vs the way they talk about Travis that I really don't like.

v trying to imagine how i would feel in a relationship watching platonic intimacy and i keep coming down on well it would depend on if i trusted them to be honest w me or not and i keep thinking about that and im like hm. ive never been in a relationship where i trusted the specific person not to cheat on me. unfortunate! lol

Did I accidentally picture Kevin as Viktor Krum from the Harry Potter movies like, the whole book series?

Yes, but I blame @sophiasrant who didn’t let me look at any fanart until I finished reading <3

like, i’m sorry, but when you really think abt it, the aurora hate makes 0 sense. she was a teenage girl thrown forward thousands of years in time (already fucking stressful). add to this the fact that she had a twin brother. she was very close to him. he died protecting her. he came back a monster. he was left out of the Great Family Reunion Sleepover because of it, so he lived those years. and it puts a wall up between him and aurora, for multiple reasons. 1) he became a feared assassin leader and developed his powers and learned to live as a lone survivor after his family abandoned him (i personally believe aurora would’ve fought tooth and nail to try and stay with her twin, so it wasn’t abandonment on purpose on her part). 2) for aurora, her brother died and came back wrong because of her and that happened to her, like, last week. she has not gotten over that trauma. she probably feels incredibly guilty over it still, and she’s definitely scared that castor might hate her over it. they’re jst not emotionally nor psychologically on the same level and it’s rlly heartbreaking.

The different ways people interpret the folklore love triangle are sooo interesting (and all of them are valid not trying to say otherwise!) but to me it’s very clear that August & Betty are the high school-era songs whereas cardigan is the retrospective of an older Betty (in her 20s or 30s). To me the narrative reads that Betty & James got back together after his August summer when he kissed her in the garden. They stayed together through their early 20s (~to kiss in cars in downtown bars~ what high schooler do you know who is doing this?) But THEN he left again (this time for school maybe, or a job or something. ~stepping on the last train marked me like a bloodstain~). It’s like, James tried to change the ending the day he showed up in her garden, and it worked for a time, but the ending was always inevitable even from that moment in high school. Peter losing Wendy. Leaving like a father, running like water. Betty knew that at the time (~I knew everything when I was young~) and got back together with him anyway, and now she’s left bleeding, chasing shadows of him.

Also I do interpret the last lines “i knew you’d come back to me” as them finding their way back together for a second time in the end (not about him showing up in her garden), but I think it can be left open-ended as her just being wistful.

learning so much about my 18yo sibling's friend group's drama today. just what i always wanted

AMERICAN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL IS SO :0
