this one is thanks to a post by @thegroovyfool because she is very much correct - we do not talk about aziraphale's "i need you" enough.

so once again, with a deep breath and a sigh, welcome back to alex's unhinged meta corner, where i tear apart the confession scene frame by frame. i'm gonna say, watching this particular clip over and over and focusing on aziraphale's face almost took me out.

let's get into it.

first, how about a little look at our starting point. (any blurry screencaps are due to a LOT of movement on michael's part rip)

crowley is very pointedly facing away from him, he turned after aziraphale said "we can be together - angels!", presumably because being offered exactly what he wants in the one way he cannot have it fried his brain, cause besties it surely fried mine.

aziraphale on the other hand looks openly desperate, which is why he says "i need you." more on that later. let's have a look at how he says it, because michael "microexpressions" sheen is putting in the work.

to me, he seems close to tears, his eyes are glistening in that specific "i'm about to cry my eyes out" way i know from looking in the mirror while crying

he is trying to get crowley to listen to him and to turn around. he wants crowley to face him, which is something most people tend to want during an argument. talking to someone who is not looking at you tends to make someone frustrated and like they're not hearing you/do not care about what you have to say.

aziraphale looks close to despair, his i need you is a plea to crowley to come with him. he is opening himself up not just emotionally but physically, too.

he slightly leans forward, his arms are raised and seem to both slightly grasp for crowley and point towards his chest/heart for emphasis. the pure pain visible on his face knocks the air out of me every single time i look at it.

aziraphale is admitting to needing him, something he has never done before, hell, he has told him the exact opposite on numerous occasions. i don't need you. and while they both knew it was a) a lie and b) a way for him to deal with his conflicting emotional standpoints and cognitive dissonance, it still hurt crowley every. single time.

crowley was there for him no matter what, he knows aziraphale needs him but he came back and remained at his side even when he was pushed away and more or less openly insulted. he endured it all.

aziraphale saying i need you now is pretty much a slap in the face but also what crowley needs to hear. as with everything that happens during the entire conversation, the timing is fucked up and they're talking past each other.

in my opinion, that is why crowley does not react.

only when aziraphale turns spiteful and starts questioning his understanding (aka calling him stupid without outright saying it) does he re-enter the conversation.

aziraphale, however, is upset. now, i will put on my tinhat for just a second and turn up the insanity because there are two more things i want to talk about.

first, the little stutter at the beginning.

"i ngk - i need you."

my question is - why? why does he stumble over these words in particular when it does not happen with any other sentence? the only other time is right after crowley walks away with his "good luck", he stumbles over crowley's name.

so, in short, it happens when he is either caught off-guard or saying something incredible emotional.

and this, everyone, is where i go unhinged in my interpretation.

what if he initially did not want to say "i need you?" what if he was so caught up in getting crowley to stay/come with him that he did not think and almost confessed another three word sentence?

what if he was about to say "i love you" but stopped himself because no, that's too direct, they don't do that, they can't do that. it goes against EVERYTHING they have silently build over the last six thousand years. so he chokes on it. he chokes on it and instead he says "i need you" because it means the same thing.

i need you. don't leave me. come with me. be an us. go off together.

i forgive you. i love you.

they say it over and over again because that's the only way they can say it.

that is why aziraphale is so angry and upset after saying it. he told crowley he loves him, he needs him, and all he got in return was silence.

the funny part is that this code may have worked before, but it no longer does. crowley is too hurt to listen to what aziraphale is trying to tell him, and aziraphale is equally as hurt and also not listening anymore.

the funny part is that it stopped being about love and started being about sides again. my side, your side, our side. choose a side, choose our side, choose me.

the funny part is that beelzebub and gabriel told them what they need to do, i found something that mattered more to me than choosing sides.

coming out and saying 😔 AZULA WAS RIGHT ABOUT THIS

i understand! why iroh left but none of that truly makes it okay to waste everybodys time and LIFE like ppl DIED man and then he just backed out???

the only good thing out of this is ba sing se not falling

its why i am kinda "shy" to say this because it would suggest Something weird😭 but i swear i just think that iroh IS kinda weak for stopping a whole ass siege

dont get me wrong it makes irohs character so interesting and good but i am tried of ppl villianzing this Moment because "azula Shows no pity" ignoring that that is a CHILD who barely understands death in a way an adult does shes also right 😨

and i am really glad that the new Comic WILL make my point stronger since as for rn this more of a moral thing then anything

so yes iroh i get u. thats a horrible pain to have and i think thats the Moment where u understood that what your actions was doing this to other ppl

but i see no reason to hate characters who look down on him for leaving

(also pls read the tags)

i think its weird that i have to make this disclaimer but the internet is crazy so wtvr,, anyway,,

if i say i dont like something, that doesnt mean "that thing is bad and nobody should post it.."

i swear literally every time i even mention that i dislike something, people will go "wow does that mean u fucking hate me cuz i post that thing? ur a fucking stupid bitch and all ur opinions r wrong" LIKE ?? er.. no. just because i say i dont like certain characterizations of certain characters (the saiki k fandom is CRAZY about this cuz i can state an opinion on literally any character and a group of people will still go 'well only we're allowed to post our opinions about them because we're always right!1!1!'), or certain ship tropes (mentioned my hatred of toxic yaoi maybe once or twice on here months ago and people STILL get mad at me as if i said toxic yaoi lovers r evil or something), or certain ships, or WHATEVER, does not mean that i HATE the people who are posting them or that i think they shouldnt post them at all, NO, im just posting about my personal tastes on my personal blog and it would be extremely weird and hypocritical if i decided that i was the ONLY person that was allowed to do that,,

i think the only reason people assume that is because there are a lot of other people on here who ARE like that, and a lot of people toe the line between posting that they dont like something and posting that they think everyone who likes that thing is stupid, annoying, and wrong,, so i guess all i can say is, sorry for whatever made you make these assumptions but they arent true about me so plz leave me alone ʘ‿ʘ ur doing the same thing to me that ur accusing me of but i didnt do it in the first place so ur just actively being a dick for no reason

things i would talk about on a nalu podcast if i had one:

-batshit insane 100yq theories for nalu

-nalu headcanons

-general nalu scenarios

-analysing their interactions and convos

-just sobbing about them

-how lucy rewriting END has been forgotten for 100yq so far is wasted potential

-any of the songs that i listen to being connected to nalu

-just screaming about them

-about how all of natsus development has been thrown away in 100yq

-about how yokai lucy was wasted potential for nalu development

-crying about future lucy

-cool au ideas

-annoying mischaracterisation tropes (natsu fuckboy trope)

-how i think fanservice in 100yq is worse than in the og ft and it ruins the story moments

where's the receipts abt zelda ripping off ghibli 😭😭 not actual receipts just like which movies are you talking about? bc the first zelda game to feature koroks came out 22 years ago 😭 i need to know this tea but im not familiar enough with ghibli to know which movies you're talking abt (i hope this doesn't come off as rude btw)

dw! and for clarification sake im not like. oh zelda is ripping off ghibli wholesale, i just kinda wish it was a little less obvious if that makes sense? idk, playing botw/totk first and then watching the movies after made me pause during watching and go like. oh just like in zelda

koroks appeared for the first time in wind waker (2002), five years after the release of princess mononoke, which had similar forest spirits. the appearance of malice and link’s arm getting corrupted by it is also very similar to some parts in princess mononoke (the protagonists arm is damaged in a similar way, although he doesn’t get it amputated)

other parts include zelda swallowing the stone (REALLY similar to howl swallowing the star imo) and also i get spirited away vibes from the last scene where zelda gets undragoned

im anti-AI-replacing-actual-humans for the most part but honestly when it comes to chat AIs. even though approaching w caution is ideal. i wouldve killed to have them as a kid over what "RP was like back in the day"

like until RPers learned to control the fucking rampant amount of groomers, until people stop taking out their problems onto those who dont consent into uncomfortable conversations n breed a terrible influx of ppl with similar experiences of being manipulated into RPing things they shouldnt have,,,

using AI is a safer alternative in the meantime. it isnt perfect and id be here all day talking abt the ethics of promoting AI alone and yeah sometimes will be inappropriate but theres a sense of comfort in knowing that there truly isnt a living breathing person threatening to kill themselves on the other side of the screen if u like. say dont reply on time or if you dont consent to a certain action

again. RP spaces can be fun but if ur someone like me, that grew up around a terrible online enviroment n didnt get to enjoy the whimsies of RPing in a way that respected your boundaries n u want to try to start again but in a space u can trust....idk. im not against using those AI chatthingos/making ur own AI to talk to until a love of RPing can withstand any ounce of horrible human encounters ud come across anywhere else

why write chandler if you hate his canon relationship?

canon relationship - ? i ... buddy, timon and pumba are more canon than fucking joe and kent

you're equating people who are making content for idols to weirdos and borderline pedophiles because of their age, and then you claim to not be ageist.

everything is nuanced and im not an idiot to say omg u listen to them!!!!! u cant watch their stuff!!!!!!!!! im saying that if an idol is a minor or still in their teens (like up to 19) and u spend the hours upon hours to gif them, to have their image and visage up on ur blog w their face and form and to rb abt how good they looked in so and so stage, then yes its weird??? im not saying omg yall are pedos and horrible people and need to be locked up, im saying that u have to at least consider *why* do u want to make content for them only 😭 what differs a group of minors from other idols that u casually listen to others but u only gif the teens.......

Is there anything about the One Piece fandom you hate?

…ngl its alot.💀💀💀

Well.

Ok not much but what really annoys me about the fandom is the AMOUNT OF LIES THEY TELL.💀💀 ive read way too many “Oda said this Oda said that” WITH NO PROOF???

I guarantee if i wanted to i could tweet w two random panels:

“Oda confirmed Luffy is JoyBoy’s great great great great great great great great twice removed great great great grandson.” And mfs would eat it up.

Stop that.

god the world needs more mean cunt eddie x headstrong confident steve . give me the kids trying soooo hard to keep them from spending time together because they know how fucking insufferable they’d be if they were constantly on the same side on principle. give me joke fighting that turns into real shouting matches that take a full week to repair bc they’re both stubborn and steve got just a bit too emotionally involved to let it go (eddie would never let it go anyways). only wayne can get them to shut up if they’re in the same room and riling each other up and he does this by threatening to quit his job to babysit them fulltime. clearly i think the world needs more cunty eddie bc seeing that sent me Into This State!

your mind............ anon i need to crawl into your mind come back here RIGHT NOW!!!!

side rant below the readmore bc i am Thinking

also ok tbh this is 100% me projecting and THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE OKAY..... i dont want anyone taking my words out of context and making me sound like a bad person.

i am autistic, right. sometimes i say things that come across as mean bc i have a hard time getting the tone right. sometimes i tease my friends but i go too far and dont realize it until they get quiet or call me out. sometimes i get really angry and defensive about my interests if someone disagrees with me. sometimes i miss social cues and end up just sounding like a jerk.

and sometimes im just a CUNT!!! OK! because i dont even think abt how rude im being until i've already done it!

ofc it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to monitor my behaviour but sometimes things slip and i fuck up and then i have to deal with the consequences. anyway.......... again this is me projecting but im seeing eddie as the same kind of autistic girlie as me so i think u can see where im going with this!

i just want to explore more of him being mean and rude and sometimes he doesn't realize it. and sometimes he does! and he doesn't CARE!!! until someone he cares about calls him out. and yk what!! he would maybe get defensive! but i personally think he'd ultimately do the right thing even if it pisses him off at first

i think that a lot of ppl write eddie as being very sweet and conscious of others' feelings and just a kind person and while i do think he can be these things i also think it's more in line with how he's written to admit that he's kind of a dick. he's #notlikeothergirls. oh you like metal? name every song ever

characters can grow and learn and change and i think he could do all of these things but i also think that he'll never stop being a bit pretentious and annoying. and hes so real for that

i think we should let our blorbos be cunts sometimes alright

what are your thoughts on milly/wolfwood….. do you think stampede will push it like tri98 did?

good lird. Good Lird. the thoughts and feelings are Complicated bestie 💀 like. taking a step back and looking at it purely objectively, i think 98s milly//wood is cute genuinely. im not personally crazy abt it but i like them both as characters and i do like the moments they gave them

that being said. the absolute whiplash it gave me EVEN W THE ADDED BONDING MOMENTS when it just cut to THEM IN BED. i genuinely cannot overstate it i have had comphet shoved in my face in media for all my 23 years of being alive and it still made my fucking jaw DROP!!!! it genuinely just came completely out of nowhere. and that feeling of it having little foundation only got stronger when i read trimax and they had even less interaction

like. i truly do like both of them i think its a cute ship genuinely. but the way 98 handled it made me so fucking mad fr esp bc like. they handled vashmeryl REALLY WELL imo so like...... girlies what happened... 🫢

as for stampede. i personally dont see them pushing any relationships to be completely on god. like obv we can all hold hands together and talk abt how vash and wolfwood are gonna fuck s2ep1 like intro scene but realistically i cant see it either. at least not overtly. the way theyre constructing the show is very much so focusing more on the severity of the twins polarizing black/white moralities with humans stepping in to provide the more gray perspectives in between, mainly w meryl and wolfwood. so i think season 2s set up for some very interesting character interactions, esp w the introduction of milly confirmed which i am. so excited for

the characters all still have a lot of growing to do as well. i cannot see stampede wolfwood, as closed off and hissy cat he is whenever someone sees past his front, entering an actual serious relationship w anyone. now obv theres a timeskip so maybe season 2s wolfwood will have settled into himself a bit more and act a bit more like the wolfwood were all used to but even then. id be really surprised to see them pushing any romantically charged relationship, esp between wolfwood and a character being introduced this season

dungeons and daddies season 2 rant!

this is mostly a vent post bc i’m just not a huge fan of the way the stakes in this story have been handled in the 2nd season so far! obviously i love the podcast so this is no hate on it, but i just wanted to get this out there and see if anyone else feels similarly, or if perhaps season 2 gets a little less messy and forcibly dramatic later on!

*Note: As of right now, I just finished Episode 13—aka the huge lore dump episode lmao! So maybe things get better after this and i just dont know it yet!

This is a lot of word vomit cuz I wrote down all my thoughts in my notes app on my phone stream-of-consciousness style, so if something doesn’t make sense, that’s why!

My problem with season 2 is that the rules of the world and of the story keep changing. The rules of the GAME aren’t changing, but the verisimilitude of the story itself is—they’re playing Calvin Ball with our suspension of disbelief, and it’s not working for me.

It’s like the Steven Universe Future thing of suddenly going against the previously-established rules of cartoon logic; suddenly we’re NOT supposed to laugh at cartoon slapstick and instead supposed to now see it as REAL INJURY that just…healed. But that breaks the audience contract!!

In Dungeons and Daddies, we’re supposed to believe that a lot of these jokes in season 1 don’t really matter. So when they DO in season 2, that’s not what had been implicitly agreed upon by the audience and the creators/writers about the story. 

So with this in mind, that we are now supposed to believe that these characters’ actions have real consequences. Willy Stampler is an abuser. If we’re trying to do a redemption arc, we need to fucking SEE that.

For this season to represent growing up and realizing that adults are fucked up and make fucked up choices and can grow and change and get better or get worse or maybe weren’t ever as great as you thought it was. Those are cool ideas! But for us to take them seriously, they’ve got to be handled with care; we can’t just be told these adults made fucked up choices and when it was posited as a joke, only for it to actually be SERIOUS (i.e., if for example, henry and darryl kissed in season 1 and it was played as a joke that may or may not have actually happened, it’s never addressed again, so it’s really not heavily staked in canon—then you cannot in season 2 say that actually, darryl and henry had a lot of tension after they got back to earth and it was awkward for the rest of their lives, but we didn’t see it it just happened off-screen, trust me. BECAUSE THAT’S NOT HOW IT WAS TREATED IN SEASON 1!!! YOU CAN’T REWRITE WHAT’S ALREADY HAPPENED—IT DESTROYS OUR BELIEF IN ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE STORY. SHOULD I TAKE THINGS AS JOKES, OR LITERALLY? If I took all the stupid shit in this podcast as real and genuine and serious, then this would not be a story i wanted to watch, because literally every character is an asshole. But that’s not how the story is sold to us!

It’s kind of like how ultimately, all the dads in S1 were kinda shitty, because they were played by actors playing Dungeons and Dragons as a comedy podcast. If the podcast had treated that stuff seriously, it would’ve been an ENTIRELY different tone, and no longer comedic. But now suddenly we’re supposed to take all that shittiness as if it WERE serious fact! But that wasn’t the implicit contract we’d agreed upon by engaging in this “comedy podcast” story!!!!!!!

I think it’s cool how the new dads/S1 sons are essentially acting just like the dads in S1 did, only we’re seeing from the kids’ perspective how it actually affected them. 

But at the same time…idk. It’s like you’re mixing metaphors. It doesn’t resonate with me, because i can’t be invested in any of it. Are the jokes real? I can’t get a feel for what kind of emotional weight i should be granting any and all of what the characters say and do.

The best thing about S1 is that it didn’t have to be believable; but in S2, they’re trying to make us believe in this stuff that’s not believable. So you’re losing my trust and interest in this narrative, y’know?

AND FURTHERMORE!!!!! I hate that Willy’s character has now been reduced to “narcissist = bad (which on its own is…not a great narrative to deliver about ppl with personality disorders), but he was in prison for a long time and realized he was mean so now he’s a nice guy! forgiveness <3.”

As if he didn’t abuse his son. ajskfmxghgjk. idk what kinda shit anthony’s trying to tell with this. it doesn’t have to have a moral or soapbox moment or whatever, but it almost erases the POWER of Ron’s arc in Season 1. by getting forgiveness from the narrative, without getting forgiveness from his actual victim.

This feels like a Rian Johnson movie just trying to be quirky and “subvert expectations ooooooooOOOoOoOoo” without that subversion actually feeling REWARDING or EARNED or JUSTIFIED.

In my personal opinion, I think it’s just not as strong a choice to try and get into character work this early in the story, as compared to the pacing of Season 1. Sure, we did get some good Ron growth for an episode at like… episode 14? But the dads didn’t get actual ARCS until after the halfway mark!!!!!!!! Sometimes they really didn’t even resolve themselves until episode 66—three episodes before the final episode.

and it feels like a lot of these story beats are trying to do the work of character arcs without setting up a sturdy enough character foundation to begin with.

i saw a lot of fans online praising the choice to have such important plot stuff happen so early, and while i agree the previous monster-of-the-week formula was getting a little dull, i also don’t think the characters have really felt fleshed out enough yet to get thrown into this sort of thing. like, i personally dont really care about scary’s complicated feelings because i havent had 30 episodes to get to know her yet (and more importantly—neither has BETH. the actors themselves are still figuring out their characters!) the characters’ emotional beats it feel much more rushed and much more forced, imo. which makes the foundations of this story feel unsteady, bc i dont have any handholds to come back to and connect with. i havent been able to connect with the characters OR the story yet, so having all this thrown at me as if it’s really meaningful just falls flat.

Overall, timeskips need to be handled with care. If we jump forward in time and suddenly everything’s different—just for the sake of uncomfortability and subverting expectations—you’ve really got to justify those character changes within the narrative. And so far, nothing’s feeling particularly justified. At least—you have to do this if you want your story to be meaningful and/or SAY something about TRUTHS in OUR WORLD outside of this fictional narrative.

I can tolerate all this nonsense if it’s not actually trying to reflect anything in real life, but if I’m supposed to take this story seriously as a funhouse mirror representation of real world themes, then you’ve got justify your narrative choices. Otherwise, you’re just confusing your actual motive.

Basically, to try and be comedic AND have real world dramatic tensions and significance and themes to connect with an audience, the drama and comedy cannot come from the same place.

Here’s an example: In Jojo Rabbit, the comedy comes from pointing out and emphasizing the ridiculousness of the Nazis’ ideology. The film does not derive its comedy from the most dramatic, real-world-reflective moments: the human connection between Elsa and Jojo, or Jojo and his mom; the danger Elsa found herself in under Nazi oppression; parental death; etc.

And vice versa, the comedic moments are not the emotional crux of the story. Even Jojo’s violent accident is played more lightheartedly; if they were to make THIS event (the grenade exploding and almost killing Jojo—a ten year old child) the driving tension of the film, then for us to feel actually INVESTED, it could not have been played as comedic as it was (i.e., the scene where they’re rushing him into the hospital on the gurney and his bloody thumb’s up pops into frame).

 Dungeons and Daddies Season 2, on the other hand, takes these emotional beats that have already been established for COMEDY, and tries to turn THAT into the dramatic, emotional crux of the show. And i as a viewer am just not as likely to be invested in that conflict or dramatic tension or to find the messaging about real life to be saying anything particularly resonant or meaningful.

TLDR: Dungeons and Daddies Season Two suffers from GENRE CONFUSION!!!!!!!

If ultimately Anthony and the rest of the gang are trying to say, “This is what life is like sometimes!” (which is, imo, what EVERY dramatic story is trying to say), then they’re not actually doing that, because they’re manufacturing these situations to fit what they want to say, rather than presenting the narrative first AND THEN ALLOWING THE MEANING TO DEVELOP NATURALLY FROM THE RESULTING EMOTIONS!!!!!!! Fuck!!!!!!

So basically, it’s still easy for me to enjoy the show—but the narrative does not provide me with enough material for ANY EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT, and that is really disappointing :(

pouring one out for everyone who has to avoid bringing up the coronation in front of certain family & friends

no actually let’s discuss it... as someone who already thinks love is in the food + holds the act of eating in very high esteem both literally and symbolically, whether one is by themself or with another... there are already many words that can be used for for “meal” like a meal in and of itself can be used for any time of day and sounds like it’s supposed to cover the basics and sate hunger at the very least... and “supper” and “dinner” are different words that can mean the same thing but also may hold different connotations. for instance when i put “supper vs dinner” into the search engine, merriam-webster states, “Dinner and supper are both used to refer to the main meal of the day, and especially to that meal as eaten in the evening. Supper is used especially when the meal is an informal one eaten at home, while dinner tends to be the term chosen when the meal is more formal. In some dialects and especially in British English, supper can also refer to a light meal or snack that is eaten late in the evening.” personally speaking i usually associate dinner with being filling, it doesn’t have to be hot but something is usually cooked/prepared. even with “instant” dinners there’s the process of heating it up, digging it out of the freezer... i think in ideal times dinner is warm, fulfilling, not something that just sates hunger but is satisfying to eat. something that as you eat it you feel so good about it you can’t help saying it. there’s also something to be said about the community that can come with meals - it seems very common to share meals, a time of day where the family (or someone else) come together and eat together. different environments with different people you have different relationships with (or lack thereof) and this can change with age, location, time of day, etc. but regardless it can also function as a (semi-?) social event.

now, connecting food terms pet names or affectionate descriptors. like heath mentioned, you can call someone a “snack” - someone that is attractive to you. i have also heard people say things like ‘scrumptious.’ i think i’ve also heard ‘yummy.’ each of these words convey (most often) attraction on some level, but when it comes to connotation each of these words can have their own implication. a “snack” is something you eat usually either to stave off hunger or boredom, or for fun, etc. a “snack” is temporary sustenance, not a meal, which (to me) has a connotation of satisfying hunger. then there’s words like “scrumptious” and “yummy” which both mean the speaker things the food is good. however, as opposed to snack there is no designated meal these are attached to; you can use these words to describe almost anything you can eat, regardless of time of day or amount. for me personally, “yummy” has more of a main meal (ex: lunch, dinner) feel while scrumptious feels more like something i’d say about treats.

specifically referring to, when referring to some slang terms, “dish - a desirable guy” - i think this word can evoke a specific feeling/impression. it can be likened to terms like “snack” because it’s also associating a descriptor of food for an attractive person, but it is unlike “snack” because the connotation of “dish” is not the same. a “dish” sounds like something i’d order at dinner, something that could be either the whole meal or most/part of it. like heath said, “dish” implies more bites, whereas “snack” can be something that can (depending on the food) be eaten in one. a “dish” is not something that i associate with something eaten quickly, in haste, on the go. a “dish” implies substance. “deep dish pizza” is exactly what it sounds like - pizza that comes in a dish. but the use of “deep dish” evokes very specific images: when you spear a fork into the food, it sinks in. when the fork scrapes the bottom of the dish, it’s sunk in a considerable way. maybe all the way, maybe not - it can depend on the pizza and the dish itself. but, to me, the impression is the same: something yummy, perhaps savory, and definitely more filling/substantial than a “snack” or even “appetizer.”

all of these words can mean the same thing to people - the point is, the person being called a “snack” or similar usually happens because the beholder finds them attractive. hot can just be hot, after all. but i personally think calling someone a “dish” implies a little more. how much is up to the person speaking, but a dish is something that i associate with the image of sitting down and eating. the deliberate act of sitting, and eating, at a table, something more filling than an “appetizer” that could be equal to or a part of “dinner.” something you can really sink your teeth into.

I really wish whoever is sending me hate anons would just stop because I'm literally never going to answer them lmao. This really isn't the blog for that.

irrational fear is at one point i'll light-heartedly state that disney pinocchio is Gay (bc he is btw) to someone and instead of Understanding With Their Heart they'll assume i must be talking about him and lampwick. which is absolutely not what i mean. i'll have to just wack them. there's no other way
