Why are there so many posts that are genuinely upset about the season two ending. I went into the tag and saw so many people bitching about how queer people deserve happy endings, and this isn't the end?
The story is set up as a trilogy, a three part story. And the second part pretty much always ends in angst and drama? It ramps up the stakes, emotionally and plot wise.
Like how Han Solo gets frozen in carbonite after the love confession at the end of Empire. Like how LotR The Two Towers ends with Frodo and Sam separated and Frodo captured by orcs. How Peeta and Katniss are separated at the end of Catching Fire.
This is classic storytelling. The happy ending is coming, which yes, we deserve. But we also deserve a well told, drawn out romance with plot, angst, drama and character development.
Calm down. Write some fic. Enjoy the ride.

doug eiffel is, in his own words, a man of many fears, but i think two of the most interesting ones are these twin fears he has about his self perception: he's afraid that no one will ever take him seriously. and he's even more afraid that they will.
i think a lot about his story in all things considered - what it betrays about eiffel's psyche that both minkowski and jacobi present versions of the narrative where they're in the right, but he has this fear. that he's screwing it up, that everything is his fault and everyone knows it, even when he's barely involved and just trying to help. that within his own narrative he is still in some way the one at fault, but also a victim of circumstance who everyone will jump to unfairly blame.
it's his attachment to this perception of himself - as the perpetual screwup, as tragically unlucky, as everyone's punching bag, as ultimately unimportant - that holds him back for so long. because the thought that he will only ever be those things, only ever his mistakes? that terrifies him. but it's safer than the alternative.
with his efforts to cast himself in that tragicomic role, taking eiffel seriously is such a central point to his character development (and specifically in what it indicates re: where he stands with the others) - everything about shut up and listen and constructive criticism, of course, but also. when hera connects with him in bach to the future by opening up about their shared insecurities, she shows him that she takes him seriously and tells him that he should take himself more seriously too. and minkowski can't fully understand eiffel or connect with him as a person until she comes to terms with his conviction and all the complexities that forces her to acknowledge in him.
it's so much scarier for doug "why the hell do you even care what i think? i'm so far beneath both of you that i shouldn't even register on your radars" eiffel to consider that maybe people can take him seriously, that maybe they already do. because if they want him around, if they value his effort, if they care about him and think about him and take the things he says to heart, then that means those things matter. and it means that he matters, which is terrifying both in what it challenges about his own self hatred and the weight it gives to his otherwise careless words and actions.

i have such a visceral reaction to using "female" when referring to women in fiction that it actually draws me way out of the narrative when it's done. like. stop that.

So im watching this playlist of a bunch of youtubers reviewing the last decade of goodreads awards winner by genre because i love people rightfully shitting on goodreads but like? One of the ones i watched was romance because yeah obviously and the woman who reviewed was like really into the romance genre and im geniunely not trying to be a cunt but i dont understand how someone can be geniunely into the romance genre like!!!! You like books where nothing fucking happens? And a lot of her criticisms were like there wasnt enough romance because it was just a subplot or there was too much stuff from other genres and like.....yeah? You have to like you cant carry an entire book on one relationship like sure thats an opinion because i literally dont understand romance books but like????? Like idk im not trying to be a cunt but like WHAT is appealing about a pure romance book???
#Like obviously im influenced by being a lesbian and LOL LMAO AS IF THATS GONNA FUCKING SELL IN MAINSTREAM ROMANCE a genre dominated by#Cishet women like of course of the 10 books 8 were straight relationships and 2 were mlm gay relationships because cishet women hate wlw#But like even if wlw romance books were everywhere im still like....how can you enjoy something thats just so ...nothing!!! How do you#Enjoy the literary equivalent of your friend talking about their new annoying boyfriend nonstop#Like even if i think about the lesbian relationships in media i enjoy its not in romance books like#I like sarah waters books because theyre historical thrillers not because its just a lesbian relationship existing and then i wait 8 books#For them to fuck like#Like maybe tipping the velvet is the closet waters got to a romance book but theres so much more explored in it like i dont understand the#Appeal of ....just romance like that shit is usually a subplot for a reason!!!!!!#Idk why i wrote all of this but well idk i just...dont understand romance like#ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS REVIEWER had to read 3 coho books and was like??? For it ends with us she said it wasnt a romance book because it#Romance books require a happy ending???????? Like huh????? What is coho if not the worlds worst romance author who is occasionally the#Worlds wost thriller/romance writer???#Like if one of your constraints for the genre is a happy ending like what the fuck thats so restrictive for no reason???

Hm ... 🌹 + 🌟 for whichever fellow feels like taking the floor!
~ librarian-lover 📖
Tumblr media
“Ah. Another question? Ok, let's see—“
Tumblr media
“Now hey there Cathal! What'chu been up to lately?”
Tumblr media
“!!! M-Mr. Crow!”
Tumblr media
“. What are you doing in my office—“
“Aw, I just had to talk with yer old man a bit 'bout somethin' er other. Wanted to stop by 'n' say hey! Yer gettin' so big now!”
Tumblr media
“…Mr. Crow, aren't you, um… isn't there a Toon who keeps coming by your building?”
“Ah. You mean that reindeer who just won't get out of my hat!?”
“Yes. Ms. Darla, right?”
“Right as rain.”
“Well, um… how did you two first meet?”
🌟 - Describe how you met.
“Just how every one of those critters meets me: storms my building and throws pies at my head! But Ms. Petaltail… ooo, she was a crafty one. She had come a few times before, but then she did something I would've never expected.”
“I made a joke to those Toons that I would only be friends with them if they gave me the deed to their estate. 'Well, I got the deed right here, Mr. Architect,' said Ms. Petaltail. 'You can sign right here if you'd like.'”
“Hoooo-whee, was I jumpin' off the walls with that! So much so that… I didn't read the fine print. Stupid of me, I know.”
“But now you own Ms. Darla's property?”
“Not quite. I own her land… 2 square inches of it. She can't do anything to it without my permission. Seems Ms. Petaltail knows her land laws better than I thought.”
(Second question below because this ask is getting long)
🌹 - What’s your love language? What is theirs?
“Now you know me Cathal: I believe in Southern hospitality above all else. I'm a right proper gentleman!”
“You do send a lot of food over from your district.”
“So if you ever see that Ms. Darla come into your office, don't believe anything she says, y'hear?! That reindeer's the sweetest talker I've ever met!”

Those people who are now putting up their PayPal link whenever someone asks for proof for any weird ass claim they try to spread around have the same energy as those “influencer classes” that don’t actually teach you anything and are just made to take your money

I would really love for a moment of just utter bewilderment for Keeley when she realizes just how much Roy and Jamie are getting along now.
Like, after her and Roy start to patch things up and she asks him to come over to her house for dinner or something and he just casually says "I can't tonight. I'm going on a bike ride with Tartt."
And she is just "What?" Like, barely able to comprehend what just came out of Roy's mouth.
This will, of course, eventually lead to all three of them getting together later on.

i don't have anything against arranged marriages, but it seems like brown families tend to overlook compatibility sometimes in those marriages. and i don't think they do it out of spite, but because they want their children to be stable. being financially stable and settled are good things of course, but those two don't always mean that a couple is compatible? marrying a guy that is wealthy and has a good job does not mean the spouse is gonna be happy yknow?
and i don't care what you say, i'm not marrying a man i don't wholeheartedly love. i'm not marrying anyone i don't feel that way for.

[◉°] … toji & y/n being a couple for 10 minutes straight pt.3
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ。˚ 𓂋 ❄﹒✦﹒✿ ˚
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
꩜ actor!toji x actress!reader
⤷ synopsis : just toji & reader being idiots in luv…
꩜ content : crazy fans, very mild physical violence (toji pushing ppl lol), toji being a little ooc again. this is really not as wack as the warnings are making it sound.
- a/n : loads of people seem to be enjoying this & i enjoy making them, so here you go! :D
. . . part 1, part 2, part 4
masterlists
Tumblr media
౨ৎ first clip
(recorded by your fansite) - you & toji are at the airport and it is packed. there are fans swarming you, practically suffocating you & toji, along with paparazzi taking pictures of you, flashing lights in your face. your bodyguards are literally at war trying to guard you and you have to cling onto toji’s arm to even get past the sea of people.
all of a sudden one fan somehow gets way too close, and grabs a hold of your shirt, trying to drag you towards him. you jerk forward and without even hesitating, toji just grabs the face of the crazy fan and pushes him away like it’s nothing, causing a domino effect having other fans falling over as well.
toji puts an arm around you and guides you to check your tickets, ignoring all the chaos he caused behind him.
(this got a lot of mixed reactions, some people siding with toji saying he was just protecting you & others criticising him for his rash actions that could’ve caused people to get injured 💀)
౨ৎ second clip
you & toji were doing a video for WIRED, taking part in their popular series, “Web’s Most Searched Questions” about yourselves.
“okay third question..” you say, and peel off the paper. “are _____ and toji..dating?”
you & toji look at the camera and then at each other, faces hot and you’re both awkwardly smiling before looking at the camera again. you & toji speak. “yeah, i dunno.” “nooo idea.” “literally no clue whatsoever.” “why even ask that like-like we’d know the answer?”
you peel the next question and it’s even worse. “are _____ and toji having- A BABY?!” you shout and cover your face laughing, both in shock and amusement. “what?!”
toji just facepalms, hiding his pink cheeks and sighs tiredly. “christ…”
౨ৎ third clip
you’re at a press conference for the series you and toji are in, all the cast members are gathered on a long table with microphones but it’s a pretty informal gathering and the fans are being very interactive with the cast!
a crew members hands the microphone to a fan who has a question. “hi! hi, i’m sarah and uhm..i have a question for toji. and _____ too! do you think that your characters have a chance of..like..getting together? like romantically-?”
“yeah we’re getting together,” toji responds bluntly, reeling in the loud cheers from the crowd & he decides to add fuel to the fire. “and we’re gonna have a make-out scene too.”
the audiences goes crazy with applause and whistles, while you pinch the bridge of your nose, shaking your head in embarrassment as the cast look to see your reaction.
then the director of the show pitches in, holding her finger up. “just to clarify, we did not discuss this..”
there’s a chorus of laughs and sad ‘awws’ among the pool of fans which only makes you giggle. you didn’t even know what to say to toji’s brashness.
gojo chimes in with his loud mouth while everyone is still buzzing from toji’s unexpected words. “talking about kisses and stuff like. this guy’s just saying what he wants to hear!”
everyone starts creasing up again and you & toji lean your heads to look at each other on opposing ends of the table, and he just smirks at you while you just shake your head and try not to look so obvious..
౨ৎ fourth clip
vogue did a video with you getting ready for a fashion show you were invited to, by the designer herself.
the makeup artists had just finished your shimmery, fairy-like makeup and now the stylists were accessorising you with jewellery and fixing your hair.
“yeah i really like how the hair is done,” you say, referring to the baby pink ribbon tied cutely around your bun. “it’s really cute! and the dress is just so-”
the door to the dressing room opens and toji pokes his head in, the camera zooming in on him. “‘ya done yet?”
“toji?” you ask, exasperated. “toji get out! we’re not finished yet..”
toji looks you up and down in confusion. “ya look done to me. we gotta leave in like-”
“toji i am clearly not finished. we have to go through which jewellery looks the best with the neckline of the dress and..my whole look altogether so it doesn’t drown me out! and then we have to pick the correct shoes and make sure i’m comfortable with them and that they look pretty but also don’t take attention away from the dress. and then for the perfume-”
“yeah, yeah, alright, i get it.” toji totes. “but we have to be there in 30 minutes so-”
“oh toji’.” you sigh, looking in the mirror while the stylist fuss around you. “it’s okay if we’re late. i’m the main event. the designer invented me personally. they won’t even start the show if i’m not there. it’ll be fine, trust me.”
toji looks at you for a moment and then simply shrugs, nodding and accepting your words.
౨ৎ fifth clip
“so yeah, this is the book i’m reading.” you hold up ‘pride & prejudice’ to the camera for your fans to see. you were on a livestream, which you don’t usually do, and many fans were watching. “i just love this book. the characters are-”
loud, thudding footsteps can be heard in the background and you pause. a deep, clearly a man’s voice can be heard and then a shirtless toji walks into frame (as identified by his tattoos bc his face is not on camera). he reaches out of frame.
“sorry, jus’ forgot my shirt.”
he puts his shirt on, not even realising what he just did in front of 50,000 people and walks out of the room
it all happened so fast, you sit with your jaw open like a fish, holding your now forgotten book in your hand while the chat goes wild, spamming questions of “who is that?” “is that toji?” “you and toji are together?” in a frantic, chaotic fashion.
you just look at the camera and reach forward, abruptly ending the live. fans did not stop talking about this moment for months and they most certainly did not believe you when you said toji was just at your house for a little ‘visit’.
