Just watched Brokeback Mountain for the first time and I need to talk about it.
Throughout the movie, we see Ennis experience a lot of intense discomfort and fear at the idea of being intimate with a man, despite it becoming abundantly clear in the details and based on his actions that that is indeed what he wants. He even admits to Jack that this fear stems from an experience he had at a young age, when his father showed him two men who were presumed to be lovers (they were roommates vibes), murdered and castrated, with him basically using it as a lesson to show Ennis that being gay was wrong and would get you killed.
Jack on the other hand was a little less discomforted or fearful at the idea of being with a man, in that we actually saw him return the following summer to Brokeback Mountain hoping Ennis would be there, only for him to show up alone. We saw how after this he confidently approached a man at the bar hoping to get to know him, only to get rejected and risk getting hate crimed (foreshadowing š). And we saw how, over time, Jackās struggle had more to do with being hurt over Ennisā unwillingness to commit or even just consider the possibility of them being together long term, even despite the risk of being gay in the 60ās.
Near the end of the film, upon Jackās death, Ennis discovers from his father that over the past 20 years since they met at Brokeback Mountain, Jack constantly brought it up to his folks, how Ennis, his friend, was going to move up to their ranch and they were going to build a cabin and live together and take over for the family.
Jack was often the one in the moment taking the chances for them to be together. He was the one who mentioned that they could go to Mexico, with Ennis furiously rejecting it saying āyou know what happens to people like you there??ā
But whatās even more painful, is that in this same scene, Ennisā acknowledges the truth more directly, and why itās so painful is because it ends up ironically coming true:
Here, Ennis is basically saying that if he decides to be with Jack for real, aka faces his queerness head on, thatās going to be the thing that gets them (Jack) killed. Shortly after this, Jack loses it and has that infamous ass monologue, followed by Ennis breaking down over how itās Jackās fault that heās this way in the first place.
In the end, when Jack dies, Ennis finds out about what happened from Jackās wife, Lureen Newsome, who said Jack was pumping up a flat out on a backroad when his tire blew up, with the rim of the tire slamming his face, breaking his nose and jaw, and knocking him unconscious on his back. By the time someone drove by on the deserted backroad, he had drowned in his own blood.
The audience mightāve believed this story, if it wasnāt for how rehearsed it sounded coming out of Lureenās mouth, but it also doesnāt help that images of Jack being hate crimed as his true cause of death are flashing across Ennisās mind in real time while Lureen is telling him about the āaccidentā.
While itās left up to interpretation, itās implied from what his wife and father said, that Jack was hate-crimed by his father in law, with it being covered up.
Broken nose? Broken jaw?ā¦ Those are the kinds of wounds someone endures after being beaten up. And if itās happening to the point of death, then he was essentially beaten to death.
This then fits into what Jackās father said, because apparently, shortly before he died, heād told his father heād found a different friend that was going to come up there to the ranch with him. And so itās very likely Lureenās father caught wind of this as his plans to leave neared, leading to his murder (Jack also bitched his father in law tf out in an epic way, which on its own felt unnecessary in the moment, but within the context of this makes a whole lot more sense).
Either way, it seems Jack waited for Ennis to change his mind. 20 years he waited, and when Ennis didnāt, Jack finally moved on with someone else who made an offer of his own years before, only to get murdered just as Ennis feared he would if he decided to live his life authentically.
Ennis initially found out like this, in a postcard that bounced of him inquiring Jack about seeing each other again after that last massive fall out where they had, only for Ennisās worst fear to be realized:
Nov 7th with deceased stamped across it has me spiraling š
Now, obviously Brokeback Mountain is one of the most well known queer films of all time, like thereās no denying that. So itās fairly easy to assume ST could be taking some inspiration from this film just like they have with hundreds upon hundreds of other films. But especially if they are planning to go the queer route, homage to this film is pretty much guaranteed (thereās also one more reason it might be guaranteed, but Iām saving that for the end š¤£).
Regardless, as you can probably already tell, itās very easy to see similarities between Ennis with Mike and Jack with Will.
Mike getting the āyou see Michael? You see what happens?ā treatment from his father, in the first episode in the series, is very Ennis coded in that this is a TV show that follows that up with seasons of Mike pushing Will away from him, with it leading to a boiling point where he says, āWhat did you think? Really? That we were never gonna get girlfriends? That we were just gonna sit in my basement in play games for the rest of our lives?ā with Will responding, āYeah. I guess I did. I really did,ā aka extremely Jack coded.
The really epic thing about this though, is that ST is clearly going on a different journey than Brokeback Mountain did, in that itās simply subverting the bury your gays trope. While they are acknowledging the risk of being queer in the 80ās, theyāre not letting it end ārealisticallyā like many people have insisted it must because that is the only option. And this will be a satisfying ending because itās coming as a response to all those heartbreaking stories before it that have reinforced this idea that happy endings just arenāt an option for gay people who simply want to be together.
While Ennis and Jack didnt get their happy ending like they wanted, Mike and Will on the other hand š
And last but not least, on a more hilariously ironic note, the guy who Jack was going to settle for in the end instead of Ennis, was a guy named Randall Malone, played by none other than David fucking Harbour.

hotch and jack are so curious george and man in the yellow hat coded (they literally look like each other)
imagine his reaction if you said that to him out of the blue though šš
omg i had no idea about this movie/show but i googled it and i definitely see it ššš like:
yeah ššš
imagine itās like nighttime and aaron picks jack up in his arms and tucks him in bed and youāre standing behind watching like š§ hmmm this reminds me of somethingā¦
so when you go to bed and youāre cuddling it finally hits you š so you tell him and heās like āwhat? š¤Øš i look nothing like that guyā but then you start googling pictures and hitting him with facts š putting the photos side by side lmfaooo and you tell him that jack is adorable like the little monkey and he has no choice but to accept it š
when you bring it up to jack too he just giggles and it becomes an inside joke where you both make fun of aaron š¤š¤š¤ he acts all annoyed like āi do not look like that guy š i never wear yellow anywayā but the truth is he does this just to make jack laugh š„¹š„¹ bc jack loves plotting with you to make his dad go all >:| and aaron loves it š„¹
I tried my bestā¦so many different choices, please keep in mind that probably all of them would likely have multiple songs that represent them well or even share songs, either way this is all just for fun so yeah!!
š: the whole song is apparently about death & love coming together, sleep=death, love= his relationships with the other characters
š¦: his whole life changed once he met Silver & Malleus
āļø: itās a song abt going/finding home
š: rlly difficult choice but this feels right- cherished every memory w/ his found fam (mostly) as his life is on the line during chapter 7, seems to carry bits & pieces of them to stay strong
š: in the name + the verses are abt the way things were with someone (the way things rlly were w/ Ortho) & the chorus was all thinking abt how things couldāve gone (Idia wishes Ortho had never overblotted)
š¤: Idia almost always says yes to him, hence the lyrics. He watches over Idia & is his heavenš
š: he literally fears turning old + itās apart of a movie soundtrack.
š¹: he loves everything & everyone, wants to live in the moment
š: similar to Ride, but seems to be abt how you can choose whether to be happy or sad, Epel could have overpowered his stubbornness if he originally tried adapting into Pomefiore
āļø: his money protects him, sure, but the worldās problems will eventually catch up to him-displays his naivety
š: lyrics kinda sound like heād be lamenting over his losses right before Azul turns his ālive streamā on)
š: he seems all nice & genuine until you realize heās a mafia boss-
š: abt desire, longing, hedonism, the allure of the unknown- the lyrics themselves just straightforward, itās all Jade-coded
š¦: his constant pursuit of hedonism
š¦: he was actually happy in Savanaclaw this whole time, but kept chasing aft the crown even tho happiness was right beside him
šŗ: the song is abt self-expression, self-assurance, & inner power- very Jack mentality
š¹: it describes his relationship w/ his mom & how he wants ppl to comfort him
āļø: he feels trapped w/ defending Riddle, also the revealer of his evil mom, lyrics show a hint of his sadist side, & he turned a blind eye to Riddleās early tyranny, hence the storyline that goes w/ all the lyrics
ā¦ļø: abt living in the moment, appreciating ppl ard him. Love vs. ambitions, kinda sounds like someone trying to fit in
ā„ļø: bec heās no good for me:p + I feel the lyrics could literally describe his way of life & some of his morals
ā ļø: literally Deuceās songšš!! Song abt starting over & self-discovery
I've just gotten back home from work so I'm a little late to the party, however...
LITG SEASON 8: TEMPTING FATE ā VOLUME 2: thoughts, concerns and prayers

oh. so about the terrace scene...
first of all, super sweet gem scene. it seemed like a super important one for it to be a gem scene though. so idk I'm a bit lost.
Jin is a walking red flag š this boy is soooo gonna flip on me when the next hot girl shows up!! but let's enjoy the ride

I had to kiss him too. you know, to be polite.
but it was just a peck, tho
okay, NOW JIN!!!
having a spicy conversation with the guy I want to fuck and his currently girl isn't how I planned to spend my afternoon but here we go
"You're adventurous. You're fun to be around. And you'd make every sight even more beautiful", "Okay. Where's the punch line?", "There isn't one :)" OKAY GAG ME WITH THE WRITING
FUNNY BOY WHO'S A HISYORY NERD? OH OKAY!!!! BIG T??? NO IT'S BIG J!!!!!! JIMOTHY!!!
lmao Sophie mixing the boys up she's so me

okay Sophie you can join your boy in this bullshit he still cheated on you with me when you weren't looking (and he probably would do it again)
no. I won't forgive you?? you were basically calling me a whore back then and now you are SORRY? don't say something you'll regret later that's not cute.
and he's supposed to be serious?
anyway, stressful night over. time to go to bed with my babygirl Jin
BITS BITS BITS BITS
29 gems to go all the way? what is this?
they could've make the scene a little longer but they have gotten way better ever since the writers dropped the word crescendo
MR TYLER WHO ARE YOU?
still not 100% sure if I'm going with Jin or Oakley but I'm leaning towards Jin, I'm not gonna lie š I did some stuff that will fuck me over on movie night if fusebox finally learnt how to code (which they prolly didn't so I guess I'm safe)
I really enjoyed this episode except for the part when Jack and Sophie went full on villain mode but if the narrative made sense all of the time it wouldn't be LITG, right?
anyway, let's see what this Tyler guy is about... see you all next week š«¶
MINIONS TONIGHT WE ASSEMBLE ON JACKāS BLOG AND THINK ABOUT COLLEGE!PEPE !!!! so happy everyone wants to hear what i have to say AHH if thereās anything iāll do, itās to make everyone think about college!pepe too š«” please join jack and i, promise you wonāt regret a single thing about this āŗļø
hehe so while i articulate my thoughts and make it coherent (it might be a tiny bit long againā¦ sorry jack! šµāš«) about the fight college!pepe might potentially have with his besties, may i present to you jump then fall by taylor swift being pepe and yn coded !!
ādonāt be afraid to jump then fall into meā hello??!!! pepe not wanting to take the chance to fall for someone again because what if no oneās there to catch him, while yn is there patiently waiting for him bc if he ever decides that sheās worth the risk, her arms will be the soft cushion landing heās wanted ever since his last relationship š«
- š
i edited this at the gym šš anyways
yes yes !!! shoutout to u for doing us all this favor š and as u said, everyone seeing this should also join us on the college!pepe train because they will not regret a single second of it š«”
DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR IT BEING TOO LONG!!! NEVER AGAIN APOLOGIZE FOR SHARING THOUGHTS ABOUT PEPE šššš pls i will come and slap some sense into you istg. im loving every second of this.
but omg! yes that song!!! i have a feeling that yn knows about her own feelings quite soon and well like she can tell that pepe kinda feels the same wayā¦. so when she finds out that he has issues with it, she's so patiently trying to help him out but it's also so frustrating because "!! just trust me!! fall into me!!!" :((((
For the fic title game, yet another shamelessly stolen song lyric: hearts will break (for future's sake)
EEEEEEE BRUH Iāve never heard that song and have no clue what it is but what a BANGER line
Okay so Iāve never done this with the newsies fandom only because i havenāt really written much for it, but Iām a sucker for reconciliation. Just an absolute slut for Right Person Wrong Time, so I think thatās what I would make this hypothetical fic about.
omg omg omg and it would be one of those double timeline fics where it jumps between the past and present as a nod to the (for futureās sake)
The general vibe Iām going for is Jack being head over heels in love with Davey and Davey just having NO FUCKING CLUE because Jack is his friend, his buddy, his rotten soldier, his sweet cheese, his good time boy. But like, Davey is just so Repressed (not in a gay way, he knows heās š š½, he just doesnāt talk about his feelings and isnāt in touch with them because Oldest Brother Syndrome) that heās like āyeah this Amazing Feeling and Deep Connection is just friendship :)ā.
Meanwhile Jack desires this fucking weirdo heās stumbled upon carnally and is literally obsessed with him and always dropping casual āI love youāsā āI would marry you in a heartbeatā āfor real I want you in my life foreverā bc heās got that All Or Nothing personality and Daveyās dumbass is just like OH YOU!
That all ends poorly because eventually Jackās like. Dude I am IN LOVE WITH YOU!!! But there is An Obstacle (maybe Daveyās already met someone else and Jackās too late, maybe Davey thinks he doesnāt feel the same??) and jackā¦ hoooooo boi that guy can NOT handle a) rejection (rejection sensitive dysphoria anyone???) and 2) the idea of davey Not Choosing Him so he DIPS. Skips out on graduation, and moves back to his hometown (Santa Fe)
This is the vibe for Present Timeline: itās been several years, Davey hasnāt thought about jack in ages (thatās a lie, he was having his midnights moment like. Last night. CAUSE HE WAS SUNSHINE I WAS MIDNIGHT RAIN! ) but Jackās in Santa Fe anyway and is married and has a kid according to Facebook a few years ago so rip Davey trying to find the colors jack painted his life :/ bc of That WS Just Friendship he hasnāt found anything CLOSE in ages. But surprise! He stops for covfefe and guess who the FUCK is the barista? In New York? Guess who the FUCK has been living there with his daughter (sorry Iām in a very Single Father!Jack mood) for SIX MONTHS and never said a WORD to Davey??
Anyway, this timeline would go in straight chronological order and follow them reconnecting, hashing out their old shit, deciding if they want to be together (they do) and what that looks like. So think 0123456789 numerical order being chronological.
So on the whole, the order would be something like:
0J1I2C3F4E5B6D7H8G9A (come out looking like a fucking verification code š) if that makes sense???
Anyway. That was a lot, whoops! But this was actually so fun to do while I wait for my laundry! :D
OOOKKK SO I wrote this originally on āØwattpadāØ and it got like 2k reads? But I deleted it (because Iām an ungrateful brat that doesnāt deserve love or whatever) but anyway hereās some story notes before we start
(Also my dumb ass accidentally posted this when it was unfinished and then had to delete it and start all over soā¦šš)
ā¢y/n is a 25 y/o MALE because we need more male y/n content
ā¢ej,jeff and Toby have a a brother like relationship, Jeffās the oldest and ej and Toby are around the same age so you can decide for yourself who YOU think is older MMMKAYYY (i say as I bat my pretty little eyelashes at you)
ā¢TW hint at y/n having a past sh problem
ā¢this story is one of those biker sand pit show thingys (i donāt know what there called) but anyway short summary, ej and Toby work there part time (and so does Kate but thatās a minor thing) they find y/n they tell them to leave, they donāt so they tell y/n to get in the cage and if they donāt cry they can stay, and Toby ruffs em up or whatever blah blah blah *blows raspberry*
ā¢also ej and y/n are lowkey in a relationship/Situationship and he gets mad jealous when Toby so much as talks to you, so be ready shawty š
______GAY PEOPLE<3______
A story by Meā¦LN :3
(THATS NOT THE NAME OF THE STORY I SWEARššš)
āYouāre not going,Y/N. Itās not safe.ā
-Jeff a total of 5 hours ago when him and the pastas that could conceal there identities said they were going to a ācool motor partyā or somthin I donāt know I heard party and saw my change to finally get out of the house. So I took it and snuck away when Jeff wasnāt paying attention and now Iām at this big ass party- more like event. Jesus have you seen this place???
I roll my eyes at the thought, and take a look around, the first thing I see is Kate selling drinks,and I knew it was Kate because Of that jacket she always wears, with a motorcycle cycle helmet on, I guess the employees have to wear them? I don't fuckin no, so I walk over to the stand, the top of the gazebo is blue, probably one of those cheap ones from Walmart or some shit, anyway | greet her, she recognizes me and hands me a red solo cup of [insert what you want to drink here lolz] and I wave bye and walk off.
I stop at the gate, the motorists are practicing before the show, so everyone here has a chance to roam and stuff, and y' know, get robbed or something, anyway I'm completely focused on these men, just wandering about,engines blare, sand is getting thrown from the weals.
And then I feel it, hands,No knuckles, rubbing up and down my back, I whip around, about to slap the bee-Jesus (ya like jazz š??) out of the person who had the nerve to touch meā¦and then I paused.
āOhā¦hey Jack.ā
He had a helmet on, to hide his..demonic..appearance but I knew it was him, from his gloves, he wore them so no one would see his claws
āHello love, I thought you werenāt aloud to be out here?ā
āBecause Jeff told me it was ādangerousā? He literally uses me as a āget out of ass beating freeā card every time weāre on a mission together, I donāt value a single thing he says.ā
He places his hands on my hips, lightly pulling me in
āWell, itās good to see you.ā
He smiles. God why do I fall for the dorks..?
āItās good to see you to.ā
Then Toby comes up behind him, rolling his deep, dark umber eyes (yes I did google ādifferent types of brownā for this,SHUT-)
āJesus could you be any more gay???? Like seri-seriously. This is just sad.ā
He says with a stutter
āKind of hard to be a dick when you have a chronic stutter problem gay boyā
(GOD I FUCKINH LOVE COLOR CODING.)
He rolles his eyes, his face mask slipping lightly off his nose,so he moves it back up, then his phone rings,he huffs and pulls it out of his pocket and picks it up.
āWHAT.?ā
Me and Jack look at each-other
āJesus fuck Ben are you serious??? You had one job. One fucking job.ā
He looks pissed, he wasnāt usually this easy to aggravate.Maybe his bipolar is acting up?I think he mightāve been out of those meds.
āYou.ā
Toby points at me.
āWhat.ā
āYouāre getting in the cage.ā
āNo the actual fuck he is not.ā
Jack says, I can feel his grip on my waist tightening
āFuck off Toby.ā
āNo. There not even supposed to be here. You heard Jeff.ā
Jack letās go of my waist, getting in Tobyās face
āOh yea? And youāre gonna do what. Make them??ā
āNo. But how about this? They get in the cage, and if they make it out without pissing there pants they can stay. Ok!?ā
Jack turns to look at me
āSure I guessā
I say with a shrug
_____________________________________-_~____
As I get into the cage I feel Toby eyeing me from afar
āOk so all you have to do is keep your arms up or close to your body, and if me or Toby hands you anything keep it close to your body ok?ā
I nod
āOk great, the show will start soon, so just be ready.ā
Then he walks out of the cage and after a few minutes I hear engines blaring, people cheering, so I throw my arms up and wait, the black tank top I was wearing lightly rising up, and in a moment there was a man in the cage with me,the visor on the helmet lifted so I could tell who it was,it was Jack, Iām surprised he could operate a motorcycle with such lack of vision.
He did rings around the cage, as he went his hands layed on my chest, shoulders, waist and back, he loved to touch me, that was evident, his favorite activity when we were alone together was to trace my scars, getting visibly upset when I told him there was more then the ones on my arms, he hated the idea that I wanted to hurt myself, and that I used to.
After about 5 minutes of spinning he exits the cage, it goes silent for a minute, and it stays silent..and it stays silent.. I want to turn around, to see why it was so silent, and then the noise started back up again, thankfully, and Toby entered the cage.
He however was not as fun to be around as Jack, he was going insanely fast around the cage. Batting at me with his nails, leaving red marks and lashes all over my upper body, one on my face to, this went on for what felt like hours.
ari!! i am dropping by to give some good vibes & good weather for the weekend!! š„¹š¤ļø & am also curious!! what song reminds you of any of your blorbos? š„ŗ
sel !!!! tysm ur so sweet, im sending u sunlight and flowers n treats :3 āļøāļøāļøš»š»š°š°šŖšŖ i hope ur weekend is full of rest n the fluffiest vibes !! <3
aaaa thats such a good question too !!!!! i have a lot for gojo n geto, and then some for megumi n shoko too i think ā¦ im just gonna put it all under the cut in case it gets long i !!!! love love love assigning songs to my blorbos <333
FIRST OF ALL ā¦. sel. u know how i am w gojoā¦.. phshdhs i have a bunchhh of different songs i associate w him but !! here r a couple :>
ok so first !! i firmly believe that gojo is a swiftie so i legally have to assign him a taylor swift song n this is basic but ācruel summerā is just so HIM. i especially think of hs gojo when i hear it !!
so cut the headlights, summerās a knife // iām always waiting for you just to cut to the bone // devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes // and if i bleed, youāll be the last to know
also ā¦.. pinkpantheress ā¦.. i dont know WHY i just get big gojo vibes when i listen to her songs ššš ā¦ i firmly believe heād listen to her too. i esp associate him w ābreak it offā, ācapable of loveā and āclose to youā!!! the lyrics remind me sm of him too :ā) i !! love our lonely babyboy !!!!
you canāt even sleep when you turn the lights off // white noise in your head makes it harder to breathe // but easier to tell me when itās time for me to leave
this happened at the start, everytime we try we fall apart // you canāt seem to hold my heart // close to you // and i know that you make it clear that you want me out of here // though itās loneliness you fear // close to you
and i think i need a picture ācause itās never enough // to see you smilinā in my mind when i lay still in the dark // it starts with you
iām obsessed with the idea that one day it breaks up // ācause after that, i know iāll never be as capable of love // after you
and then !! and then !!! ābe nice to meā by the front bottoms is my favorite ever n its !! so so gojo !!!! reminds me sm of him and sugu ;(
if we all left it alone // iām sure itād work itself out fine // we keep playing with the numbers // we are running out of time
but youāre a killer // and iām your best friend // think itās unfair, your situation // you say iām changing // sorry, i didnāt know i had to stay the same
and youāre a werewolf and iām a full moon // and all your very worst enemies will be gone soon // i think youāre changing // donāt worry, you donāt gotta stay the same
(also ā¦. āfighterā by jack stauber ā¦. yeaaa. gojocoded)
call me fighter, iāll mop the floor with you // call me lover, iāll take you for a drink or two // youāll get older, and maybe then youāll feel some control
now as for geto ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦. i think i have a billion angsty geto songs but tbh above all else hes so mitski coded. he IS mitski. ālast words of a shooting starā and āwhy didnt you stop me?ā were literally written for geto idc . this is just sooo ā¦. T_T my doomed boy
all of this turbulance wasnāt forecasted // apologies from the intercom // and i am relieved that iād left my room tidy // theyāll think of me kindly when they come for my things
theyāll never know how iād stared at the dark in that room // with no thoughts // like a blood-sniffing shark
i always wanted to die clean and pretty // but iād be too busy on working days // so i am relieved that the turbulance wasnāt forecasted // i couldnāt have changed anyways
i know that i ended it, but // why wonāt you chase after me? // you know me better than i do // so why didnāt you stop me?
and then shoko !! hhh for some reason i associate her a lot w penelope scott ā¦ i think āmoonsicknessā especially !! and and and ā¦ āribsā by lorde :( i think of her when i listen to it n then i cry. ācigarettes out the windowā by tv girl is another one !!
blood clots, death camps, glitz and depressions // the business cycle and the tides // you fuckers know itās all built on lies // but the beast refuses to die // and so i guess, well, neither can i
this dream isnāt feeling sweet // weāre reeling through the midnight streets // and iāve never felt more alone // it feels so scary, getting old
and finally !!!! gumi !!!! :D ok so sel i know we both agree when i say hes the neighbourhood coded. like pretty boy, cry baby, softcore etc etc hes just soooā¦ yeah.
but !! for some reason i also rly rly associate him w beabadoobee ā¦.. maybe just cuz i think he would like her music. āapple ciderā makes me think of him everytime i listen to it, im not sure why it just feels so gumi to me ?? esp college gumi !! ācareā is another beabadoobee song that reminds me of him
and i donāt even like you that much // wait, i do, fuck
you said you liked my hair // so go ahead and touch it // you said you liked the jumper i wore // and so i always wore it
so call me at midnight // ask you if itās alright // to have a sleepover // to drink some apple cider // or maybe some fruit punch // and we can talk about how we donāt like each other that much
and then theres another one i cant really explain bc its just vibe based pahshhdh BUT ā¦ ācool with youā by newjeans is so gumi to me .
THIS WAS SO FUN ty for the question sel !!!! makes me wanna make playlists for everyone hhhh ā¦.. š„ŗš„ŗ my blorbos of all time
HELLO!!! thought i'd share my ranking of doctor who series 3 episodes today!!!! been a while since i posted series 2 ranking so yeah:D
1. Blink - I LOVE this episode so much, everyone probably gets why, it's so well written, the weeping angels are a brilliant idea, it has great characters, it's visually beautiful (seriously there are so many frames i just look at like "wow the colours are SO COOL i want to paint this" or like the composition looks nice or something) and the way the viewer counts with the angels not moving is SO COOL, what more can a girl ask for???
2. Human Nature/Family of Blood - again so so good, i LOVED martha my girl was so amazing, the acting was so good, the plot was great, i liked the side characters, just really really good guys
3. Gridlock - no one will ever understand how much i love this episode, i love love love how we jump from one car to another it feels so cosy like jumping to tiny worlds it was so amazing fr do y'all see what im saying??? it's so nice and feels so real and i love old lesbians and random kittens and!!!! also it was cool to see face of boe (he's an icon) and anyway the story was enjoyable and i really really liked it
4. Smith and Jones - i love this introduction to martha, the story is great and interesting and i was IMMEDIATELY on board like hello martha i like you already, AND it had funny moments too!!
5. Utopia/The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords - man this is a great finale, martha, jack and 10 together were so fun to watch and the master's reveal is great and y'all i'm SO proud of martha she was an ICON i love her, anyway the plot is great and i also kinda like how the master was basically defeated with hope, i think it was beautiful, also i love martha's departure it's one of my favourites
6. Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks - really liked the side characters, especially solomon and tallulah, they were great, and i liked the idea of one of the daleks kinda turned good you know? or at least realised that there are better ways to survive, and anyway i just like the story
7. 42 - LOVE how this is in "real time" i think that's such a great idea, i enjoyed freema and david's acting and the story overall it's great
8. The Runaway Bride - donnaaaaa!!! this is pretty funny (as stuff with donna tends to be ngl) and the story is alright, but not my fav christmas special and i wasn't the biggest fan of the villain
9. The Shakespeare Code - i like the idea of carrionites and that words can be used like that it's so cool and the ending was funny with the queen just telling folks to execute the doctor but like this episode isn't my fav + i was SO mad when 10 compared martha to rose like im sorry i just never got into timepetals i didn't really like the ship, like i did NOT care enough to get that moment š
10. The Lazarus Experiment - it's enjoyable and i really like tish i kinda wished she'd become a companion with martha are you seeing my vision?? and i love some 10 moments in this, but overall it's kinda mid
welll there we are!!!! hopefully will do series 4 soon!!! also remember these are my opinions y'all are free to disagree and if you wanna tell me if you disagree or agree feel free to do that:D
Anyways no one asked but here's a list of Station 19 characters over whom I would lose my shit if something happened to them:
Robert Sullivan: Do not touch him. He is off limits. I will not repeat myself.
Jack Gibson: Not to be stucky-coded on main, but he deserves the SOFTEST epilogue. He's suffered too much, LET HIM REST !!!!!!!! š
Andy Herrera: I expected to be annoyed by her and, like, I was. But she's everything to me now. I get her pain and her anger and her soul and we have a relationship that's built on mutual respect and she's mine so fuck you
Vic Hughes: can she please be happy can she please be happy forever. she's so babygirl and she deserves it.
Pruitt Miller: SHE'S A BABY YOU SICK FUCKS DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER
I've made my demands. I better not be disappointed. ššŖ
i cant even complain anymore bc i brought this onto myself ahaha
1989
this love - the bridge of this song actually KILLSLSSSSS me everytime it makes me FEEL THINGS OMG LIKE. the production is like a wave just HIT ME IN THE FACE,, and the added echos onto taylors version????? PUT ME LITERALLY 6 FEET UNDERGROUND ITS SO GOOD,,,, im so glad that people are finally starting to give it attention bc of it being one of the 2 tvs on 1989 bc this song really is THAT GIRL
you are in love - this song is literally all i want to experience in life,,, its another underrated gem and its sosososo cute and i love how she wrote this about jack antonoff thats peak friendship tbh
wildest dreams - so iconic how she put her actual heartbeat into this song,, also have u heard the music video version of this???? basically, towards the end theres added instruments and it sounds more orchestral and ASIGDUSDGLHFASTFGYUASGDJHAIISUFGHJKAFDSGH
style - THEEEEEEEE STRUT SONG. CATCH ME ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN MY ONESIE PRETENDING LIKE IM ON A CATWALK IN MY BEDROOM. im not a haylor stan BUT thank u harry styles for making this song happen (same goes for out of the woods which brings me to my next ranking,,,,....)
out of the woods - THE PRODUCTION. PUT THE SONG ON AND PROPERLY L I S T E N. jack antonoff and taylor put their whole soul into that bridge bc....,..,, the build up to that big moment and the layering of sounds and then the pull back of the production on 'you were lookin at me' to show that all of the anxiety from outside of the relationship fades when she looks at HIM AND OAFIUAGFHLSVHDG (im so normal about this)
i know places - ok 1989 has the best production ever tbh,, bc the click of the recorder thingy at the start and end of the song to show that shes constantly being watched by the public????? *CHEFS KISS* its always super interesting to see insights like this into what its like to be famous, and this song with all of the themes of being anxious in a relationship bc of people watching is soo reminiscent of out of the woods (and u already know how i feel about that song hahaha)
blank space - this song is reputation (lyrically) before rep even existed,, the whole thing with her leaning into the untrue persona people gave her is very rep coded + this song is probably the most iconic thing to come out of 2014, and its also so funny bc when it came out i didnt know it was satire, so 8 year old me was yell-singing 'boys only want love if its torture' with my WHOLE BODY LMAOOOO and i turned out to be a lesbian so maybe i was onto something there
wonderland (gotta preface this by saying that im NOT a gaylor,, im just gonna say how i interprate this song for myself )
- i listen to this song in a very lesbian way. the idea of a relationship being doomed bc of peoples thoughts but being in ur own bubble in the magic of it all anyway??????? lesbian. 'too in love to think straight'???? lesbian. also the b
shake it off - i unironically think this is such a bop. idc what yall say,, if ur a shake it off hater u just dont know how to have fun,, haters gonna hate i guess
new romantics - this song is soooooo 1989 tour. whenever i think about it i mourn the fact that i didnt go and experience it
welcome to new york - ICONICCCC ALBUM OPENER. the progression from 'some day i'll be livin in a big old city' to 'welcome to new york it's been waiting for you' makes me want to sob. also her going 'the lights are so bright but they never blind me' to 'the lights and boys are blinding' ON THE SAME ALBUM is so funny like girl why are u lyingš
all you had to do was stay - this song is so funny bc didnt she say that she heard the high pitched 'STAY' in her dreams and then put it in the songš, also i love the genre of taylor song that is actually lyrically so sad but is paired with really upbeat happy productionš for example august and forever winter
clean - i have a confession, i didnt like this song for yearrrrsss but now ive matured and im sane and i understand that this is such a perfect album closer, i love how its a lot calmer than the rest of the album and i really love the secret message for this song in the album cd booklet 'she lost him, but she found herself, and somehow that was everything'
how you get the girl - iconic of her to have a literal instruction manual for men with no communication skills. and its a bop so there really is something for everyone here
i wish you would - this song kinda reminds me of i almost do (aka one of my faves off red)
bad blood - iconic music video, iconic feature with kendrick lamar BUT. the lyrics arent up to her usual level,, however the bridge is still rly good,, i just think that reputation executed this songs vibe a lot better
fearless (im already dreading this omg,, why is it SO LONG)
also just for fun im gonna put this emoji āļø on every song that mentions the rain or a storm bc theres sososo many
come in with the rain āļø- shout out to me for bring the only person who appreciates this song,, like.....,.,.,.,,,,,, 'hoping that someone will come back and just watching the 'and i, ive got you down / i know you by heart / and you dont even know where i start' HELLO? this is such a comfort song and it is very relatable 13/10
the other side of the door āļø- another underrated bop BURIED by the sheer number of songs on this albumš the outro alone should make this song more popular bc LISTEN TO ITTTTT
the way i loved youāļø - shes so silly for this bc this mindset is exactly what she was taking about growing from in daylightš anyways,, iconic bridge,, so fun to sing, another 13/10
you belong with me - PICK ME ANTHEMš£šš„š„š„š„ also i saw someone post that its rly funny how the song says 'i remember you drivin to my house in the middle of the night' but in the music video taylor and the love interests are next door neighboursš like why are u driving 10 meters king !?
breathe - ANOTHER COMFORT SONG (the lyrical content is actually very sad but whatever) its about a friendship breakup and to me it also is very reminiscent of a wlw breakup and iahdouslahgdhfgsadfhjgshjadf also i love the outro sm (the im sorry repeat part) anddd idk why but i find the way she sings 'and we know its never simple never easy' soo satisfying
fearlessāļø - THIS SONG IS SO FUN IM SO GLAD SHES PLAYING IT ON THE ERAS TOUR BC IT SO PERFECTLY REPRESENTS THIS ALBUM AS A WHOLE WITH THE FREENESS OF THIS LOVE AND THE RAIN LYRICS AND THE BANJO AND EAHHASAGDFHGLSDAHFSDGF
white horse - i love this song sm bc in all her old albums (including this one) she really emphasises the whole perfect fairytale romance thing but in this song she flips the whole thing and shes like nvm ive been delusional bc this isnt a fairytale, i deserve better, and and ur actually not allathat. byee
youre not sorry - THE MELODRAMA HAHAHAHHAH I LOVE THIS SONG, also im obsessed with the speak now mashup where she did back to december/apologise/youre not sorry bc thats probably my favourite ever live recording of her
bye bye baby āļø- the first line is so good bc she says 'it wasnt just like a movie / the rain didnt soak through my clothes (āāļø)/ down to my skin' bc this whole album shes talking about fairytale romance and kissing in the rain and here shes like nah i lied i was over romanticising this bc this didnt actually happen lolz (similar to white horse)
fifteen - this song is so relatable bc this exact thing happened with me when i was 15ā ļø also why are her songs about abigail always the saddest things ever bc we have this one AND HAPPINESS???????? abigail was going thru it fr..,. oh and production wise i love the brief pause and the drums at 3:48 (this is very specific but whateverrr lol)
love story - what can i say...,.,,, its literally love story..,,,,,.,,,,.. the song of the century tbh, its not my personal favourite but i still adore it sm and i love the romeo juliet aesthetic and i love how shes wearing romeos shirt in the fearless taylors version cover (also apparently taylor wrote this song in 20 minutes???? thats crazy talent)
dont you - im obsessed with the vocal layering on 'my heart knows what the truth is' in contrast to the rest of this fairly simple song. also i love the parallel between 'sometimes, i really wish that i could hate you / i've tried, but that's just somethin' i can't do' and 'i canāt make it go away by making you a villain'
we were happy - to make this even more depressing i like to imagine this song sung by the person from mary's song,, where before they were these childhood friends-lovers who thought they were gonna be together forever. 'and our daddies used to joke about the two of us / they never believed we'd really fall in love' to 'talking 'bout your daddy's farm / and you were gonna marry me'
forever & alwaysāļø- she ENDED joe jonas in this one LMAOOOOOOO 'was i out of line? / did i say something way too honest / made you run and hide / like a scared little boy' kills me hahhahahha
tell me why - i cant relate to this song but it is so fun to pretend to be angry and sing
thats whenāļø - most of the fearless vaults are super underrated and that makes me so sad actually, bc this song is so nicely produced it feels so light and airy
you all over meāļø - 'once the last drop of rain / had dried of the pavement' is a very iconic lyric for such a rainy album. its good closure only...,,.,,,, THE ALBUM IS NOT FINISHED BC ITS 26 TRACKS LONG
mr perfectly fine - ok im gonna say it, this song is overrated. im SORRY,,, i love the song (especially the key change bc omg) but i feel like forever & always said everything this song did but in a better way???? but i do appreciate the sarcastic nature of this track
the best day - GOD BLESS ANDREA SWIFT
today was a fairytale - ok from this song ranking down i feel like the songs could have been cut out of the album,, bc honestly these songs are the reason why fearless drags on and is my least favourite ts album :(((( if these werent on it fearless would be higher on my album ranking,, anyway i think that today was a fairytale is super cute and nice but its very generic lyrically (also i like to imagine this song to be about the too perfect bf she talks about in the way i loved you)
untouchable - when i found out this song is a cover i was actually shook to my core bc the og is rock and it sounds so differentš props to taylor bc she rly did make the song her own
change - the hallelujahs in this song are funny bc its literally christian country girl cosplayš go off i guess??????? one time my dad gave me the aux at church (hes a priest) and he told me to put on some christian songs and i played this one LMAOOOOOO
superstar - this ones cute, its like those one direction fanfics where a member would fall in love with a fangirl
jump then fall - this song is nice ! thats all i can say tbh
hey stephenāļø- whyyyy is this on the album,, stephen i do NOT care about u and this song is boring sorryyyyyyyyy,, the only good part is the mmm mm mm m m mmm m m OHH AND THE 'all those other girlssss yeah theyre beautiful / but would they write a song for you?? HA'
im not putting if this was a movie on here bc that is NOT A FEARLESS SONG. ITS A SPEAK NOW GIRLIE IDC. TAYLOR CANT GASLIGHT ME
that nalby hc šššš (from the tags of that other post which im too lazy to copy sjdjsj)
the post, for those curious
yes bc like!! the "He's in charge when I'm not around" "good thing you're always around then" bit from the movies--it's always read more as teasing than Newt, like, actually caring about leading.
And in the books, sure, Alby is the 'on-paper' offical leader, but we know he's not been doing it long, and Newt is clearly more experienced with Greenies. (If you haven't read Fever Code and don't want spoilers, skip this next part. If you don't care, then continue on. Also, Newtās suicide attempt is discussed, both here and a little later.) Itās revealed in Fever Code that Newtās suicide attempt is not too long before Thomas enters the Maze--only about 6 months, compared to the time Newt has been there.
(If you skipped you're good now)
Newt was a Runner, right? But obviously something changed, and he canāt run very well with a limp, something that's noted more than once by Thomas. So Newt becomes a jack-of-all-trade (starts Thomas each day with his trial runs, helps the medjacks with Ben, etc), learns the ins and outs of the Glade, helps out with Greenies where he can. He gives the motivational/you're-here-so-make-the-best-of-it speech where Alby only gets angry, at which point Newt pulls him back so he doesn't scare Thomas (the first Greenie since the last leader, Nick, died. Yes, I have the book open rn. I have some of it memorized but I want to be thorough lol. probably more so than I need to be). Alby doesn't have his footing as a leader yet--Gally doesn't like Thomas, so all of their interactions are colored negatively anyway, but he also seems not to exactly respect Alby as a leader. Minho affords Alby some respect but also just... doesn't really care about the chain of command. We don't know if the Keepers voted, but Newt is both well-liked and clearly has a handle on running the Glade. Why wouldnāt he be picked, in such a scenario?
Unless he took himself from the running because he realized that yes, he can lead, but being well-liked and being respected are different things, and his authority seem to come mostly from the Gladers listening to him because they like him.
That's where Alby comes in. Presumably a Keeper (though what he did is never made clear), and probably worked with Nick-- maybe even as his second-in-command--before his death, but not handling the Glade in the way Newt does.
Newt suggests he becomes the leader, takes himself out of the running, and they listen to Newt and make Alby leader.
Newt, who knows the ins and outs of everything, who is good at talking boys down and bouncing around where he's needed, gets to keep doing that.
And Alby is really thrown into overseeing everything; Greenies, the Box requests, what needs to be built and repaired more urgently, all of that stuff. He would have known it was done, but actually making the decisions is very different from just knowing about them.
But they start dating long before Thomas comes to the Glade, right?
Yeah. They do. Alby is the one who drags Newt of the Maze, they were already close. But working together doesn't always work out. Now working more closely after Newtās attempt, they start butting heads more, and their whole relationship seems to fall apart, until they realize they're trying to do the same job, and one of them is just better suited for it than the other.
Don't get me wrong, Alby is great. Heās an asshole, yes, but they all are, really. Especially compared to Newt, though, people don't seem to be his strong suit. So they work it out that Alby mostly does logistics stuff, and Newt deals with people.
They're both leaders, and they work so well together because they're different types of leaders. Once they stop fighting-as-flirting arguing over everything, they figure out a system and slowly realize there are Feelings there. (Newt makes the first move, and this surprises no one.)
By the time Thomas reaches the Glade, hell, by the time Chuck gets there their relationship is an open secret. They're not very affectionate publicly as to keep the appearance of neutrality, but everyone knows anyway. They were on the edge of 'are we friends or are we dating' before this, anyway, but it was working together that pushed it over the edge.
tl;dr: Newt and Alby are both leaders in very different ways, Newt on the people side and Alby on the logistics side. They figured this out after Newtās suicide attempt and clashed for a while before things finally clicked into place. After that, they eventually started dating sometime before Chuck was sent into the Maze.
