anyway mulling over the hawker as a distraction from other brainrot and what i keep returning to with him is the wordplay on ‘hawker’ as a person who hawks wares and a person who hawks (<- as in falconry) and a british fighter plane in use during the 1930s-40s (<- the hawker hurricane, new info to me as it came up when i went to double-check hawker as a real synonym for falconer, but there’s an… interesting congruence with our hawker in that one of their notable uses was evidently being sailed around in merchant convoys(!) and catapulted(!) at hostile bombers whereafter pilots would typically bail and the aircraft would be lost(!), making them in effect a single-use emergency line of defense(!) in a stopgap system cobbled together before adequate escort aircraft carriers were available. see also catapult aircraft merchant ship i’ve been staring at wikipedia like Excuse Me? for a solid twenty minutes)
which is all very—i mean it’s wonderland, wordplay is mandatory. but then he’s also this adorable parrot-like bird (<- borogove) who wanders about selling mud cookies (<- mimsy bc nobody buys them and this makes me very sad) in a marketplace whose other denizens include these… smooth excitable creatures of indeterminate nature one of whom sells cheese (<- definitely slithy and probably toves) and which is itself a spiraling structure (<- so you gyre in it) in the center of a large lake (<- so the market is a wabe, because the lake goes a long way behind it and a long way beyond it in any direction). i do not have the wherewithal to comb the background of every shot for raths but the girls are certainly mome and the forest around the lake is tulgey, so raths or no jabberwocky is loudly everywhere well before the jabberwalker makes an entrance. so it all tracks as a subtle repetition of jabberwocky’s first stanza with the hawker being the element most clearly in focus but then we get this reversal of meaning from hawker into hawker and this formerly harmless and adorable parrot, who is really quite large and as it turns out rather more hawklike when he’s screaming battle-cries and hurtling talons-first toward the camera, not only goes toe-to-toe with the jabberwalker but also does fairly well at first (<- he fully stops the jabberwalker mid-charge and bowls it over in his first strike, and then we hear him keeping it pinned down while the cat talks to ruby; he only gets into trouble when the jabberwalker snags him out of the air, which is also something it does to ruby mid-burst—so this is not a clear-cut case of a civilian getting curb-stomped necessarily because we’ve just seen that this creature’s reflexes are faster than ruby’s semblance.)
and like borogoves are not the only kind of bird mentioned in jabberwocky; there’s also the jubjub bird (<- note singular), of which the poem’s subject is advised to “beware.” in the hunting of the snark, the jubjub bird makes a somewhat more detailed appearance: it lives in a cold, narrow valley and is an evidently nocturnal bird whose arrival is heralded by a “scream, shrill and high.” the jubjub bird is temperamentally “desperate” because it “lives in perpetual passion” and in appearance it is “entirely absurd” because “its taste in costume […] is ages ahead of the fashion”—so the literal suggestion here is that the jubjub bird wears clothes. further it is, while fearsome, not a bad creature; “it knows any friend it has met once before:/it never will look at a bribe:/and in charity meetings it stands at the door,/and collects—though it does not subscribe.”
so, while jabberwocky does not elaborate whatsoever on the jubjub bird’s nature, with snark taken into consideration, the hawker suggests the description of the dangerous but also amicable jubjub bird to a much greater degree than he does the hapless borogoves. the ambiguous dual meaning of his name (<- i.e. purpose) is thus reiterated in his allusion, at passing glance to the borogoves but with a little more attention (and familiarity with carroll) revealing himself as the jubjub bird. and then there’s the convoy catapult emergency bomber-intercept hawker hurricane whose purpose is to sacrifice itself to protect seafaring merchants as a stopgap until the arrival of more suitable escorts, which is either an absolutely hysterical coincidence or else someone on the writing team couldn’t resist the allure of “hurricat.” (<- REAL TERM. do note the pilots of these planes bailed and were then collected by their convoys unless things went really badly awry, which is somewhat reassuring as to the likelihood that neo’s fake jabberwalkers can’t permadeath the denizens like the real one can.)
AND THEN like, the cat says they gave the hawker something new to do and people have generally put that together with the inexplicable electric-blue eye light trails to conclude that the cat outright brainwashed the guy, but i don’t think that’s the obvious smoking gun people think it is—the light trails match the bright blue color on his beak, and his eyes and the teal stripes on his cookie tray are the same color desaturated. (and this is the second time rwby has given eyes of flame to the opponent of the eyeless jabberwalker, with the first metaphorical instance also being reified through yang popping her semblance to land the killing blow, so like. it’s a thing. to read the poem you have to hold it up to a mirror thus by extension you cannot encounter the jabberwock except by coming face-to-face with yourself, is the idea being played with here. maybe the jabberwock is you.)
and taken together with the hawker of goods/hawker of hawks wordplay and the jubjub-bird-masquerading-as-borogove allusion and the catapult bomber intercept hawker sacrifice merchant convoy thing… like for as little presence as the hawker has in the episode there’s really a lot of thematic density and all of it is singularly focused on constructing this holographic identity. this hawker is for selling and that hawker is for hunting, superimpose the two and you get a fierce-silly-sociable-scary interference pattern of the jubjub bird peddling cookies and knocking the jabberwock on its ass and going down fighting to defend the local market; did the cat force a new purpose on him or just tap him for the reverse angle of the purpose he already had?—and this question arises in the context of an arc narrative set in wonderland-through-the-looking-glass and working with mirror-image and reversal and optical illusion and hidden meaning as its fundamental symbolic building blocks and exploration/interrogation of identity through changed perception of the self as its central thematic conceit! like! there’s a lot going on in here!

being bisexual is crazy like I used to like women disrespectfully but as soon as I was less homophobic and accepted I was attracted to men I went full male sub for anyone ever and I only am attracted to women for their competence, combat prowess, unhinged perserverance, and ability to wield heavy weaponry

It is looking pretty good for Niall so far in terms of getting a UK number 1. So far he is at 21,684 album units and McFly is number 2 with 14,414. It is going be interesting to see if anything will change over the next couple of days.
I don’t know how many albums are typically sold during these, but Niall has an album signing today and McFly has 6 album signings scheduled this week. It seems like a good strategy for McFly that they also have have CD’s with the individual band members. They make sense as collectables, and as they are half the price of a vinyls, fans are maybe more likely to buy more than one. However, Niall currently has a a competition for UK buyers.
The subject on my mind! I just posted it as an add on to a much more general ask.
I don't think there's any question - Niall has number 1 wrapped up. If there was a big streaming artist this week there might be more uncertainty. But there's no way to overcome a 7,000 gap after the weekend - no matter how many signings you have.
I will be watching the chart forums with great interest though to see where he ends up.

Had a bit of a breakdown at work today and unfortunately couldn't get it together long enough to make the necessary calls to the office without them noticing. And when they asked if I wanted to talk about it I
I don't
I don't know how to explain that capitalism has taken something I loved and used it to hollow me out from the inside until only a shell remains and every bit of my goodwill is spent on keeping out the rot trying to fill the void

you: im not gonna call myself a bi lesbian! also you: (a bi person who says the d slur and identifies as butch) be so astronomically fr right now
Butch has been used by all sapphics since it was coined. I used to believe the same shit you did till I bothered to get educated on the history of the terms. Not to mention there is literally no difference between a masc lesbian who follows a butch role and a masc bisexual woman who follows a butch role while with women. I'm a man and a woman and I'm masc and with a woman and my masculinity is butch in nature. I also identified as a lesbian for 4 to 5 years of my life. I know lesbianism and I know bisexuality and the two are very similar though separate.
Most LGBT pple don't look at a butch woman and immediately assume lesbian. They do however assume sapphic. No homophobe is gonna stop me mid kissing my gf to ask if Identify as strictly a lesbian or if I'm bisexual before they shout out the word dyke because why? I'm a butch with a femme and I don't pass so I look like a butch woman. I've also done research on dyke and it's always included bi wlw. Do your research. Our elders didn't die for you to not read their legacies. I've been called a dyke 3 times in my life. Once out a passing car window, once out of the mouth of my own father with the word militant before it and lastly as I was assaulted. I know the sting of dyke and queer and fag and tranny. I choose to reclaim a weapon used against me. I may not like the word queer used for me but I will always be a dyke and a faggot and a tranny.
I also identify as a Twink and I say faggot. Why? Cause I'm a man and a woman and I'm also mlm.
I'm sorry hun but your weird shit doesn't fly on a man woman butch Twink dykefag mlm wlw polyamrous bisexual. No label can constrict me. I am all and I am nothing. I'm everything your attracted to as well as everything that repulses you. I am in your walls and I am thousands of miles away. I am the revolution and I am the anarchy. Your white labels are toys in my native tranny hands. Good luck trying to understand me cause I sure fuckin don't. Thanks for the 10 minutes in your head though lol

i saw a post on twitter by a european saying americans are fake for their random compliments to strangers and their general cheery demeanor and like no. no no no you don’t understand. if you get a random compliment from an american on the street about your outfit or whatever, that is 100% genuine. we mean it. we aren’t lying we are making a small but fleeting connection with you because our lives are shitty but the human condition is enduring. oh god i’m clutching my chest
