Goddammit DC!

What's the point of putting Metropolis in Delaware if you're not gonna adhere to the one trivia point Delaware has?

DELAWARE DOESN'T HAVE AN AIRPORT!!

(JK I'm not even that mad, but like... Things like this is why a lot of people say it's New York lol)

It is not romantic to break into someone's house and forcefully read their diary to them while they have a breakdown. It's not. It's terrifying. I don't care that Sky does love Prapai. The level of deeply fucked that Prapai took in order to literally break into his dorm and read his diary and then force him to listen while he sobbed and begged him not to is not romantic. It's terrifying. What else is Sky supposed to say? Prapai just proved that he can't break up with him even if he needs to or wants, that he can't take space or have any comfort because Prapai will literally break into his house and force him to listen to him.

What happens if Sky ever needs space? What happens if Sky really is busy? What happens if they change? Prapai has proved that Sky literally cannot get away from him. He will break into his condo, he will bypass being blocked, he will read his diary.

Like, what else was Sky going to do but confess to loving him in that moment? He had literally no other choice. What else would Prapai do? He's shown he has no limits to what he'll do... just like his ex. It's safer to love him, safer to just let himself be overwhelmed than to face that he fell in love with someone exactly like his ex.

I mean at least he’s self aware?

The d&d slander in this episode was so fucking funny. This guy goes "yeah d&d was dumb I'm not into that nerd shit. Also I grew a goatee and walk around in a long dark coat because I like being a mysterious stranger, I even have a silly voice for it."

Like the dice didn't even make him do all that my guy just chose the theatre kid life

This is death itself. This is the biggest and baddest thing in all of fairy tale, and you want to set it free.

THEY AREN'T THE FEARS ANYMORE!! THEY'RE DESIRES

(SPOILERS for TMA, and all of TMAGP episodes so far)

Okay, here me out

Tmagp1: Darla wants to hear Arthur's voice again. She even says: "I just couldn’t face the thought of the rest of my life never hearing him again, I had to try" and later on she even says: "But I had to know, so I went to the cemetery."

Tmagp1: RedCanary wants to know about the Magnus Institute. They want to know why it's listed under 'cleared' when there's no evidence of it. Hence why they go and explore it.

Tmagp2: Daria wants that absolute perfection. She wants to change who she is and get out of that dark place. When she talks about the thing that she felt was missing, she says, "... and that’s when I decide I need a tattoo. I had a couple already – just little things on my shin and my wrist – but I decided I needed something big. Something that really changed my look." She also mentions when talking about Ink5oul that "they just kept pressing me about my life, about why I wanted the ink" instead of asking what design she wanted. And when she got the tattoo she describes herself as now being, "Someone I wanted to know more about." Afterwards she even says how "For the first time ever [she] wanted to attempt a self-portrait. Something real and physical, [she] wanted to feel the brushes in my hands and the oil on [her] fingertips." I think a lot of her statement is about her desire and impulsive need for that perfection and that wholeness that she has been aspiring to for her whole life.

Tmagp3: Samuel wants to stay hidden. He wants and he "need[s] to get up, get out of here for treatment." He wants to get better and most of his delirious thoughts are the things that he wants, or feels like he needs. E.g. "I so much want to see it [the sun] again. This night seems endless. I want to be warm again. I am terribly afraid. Thank god for Maddie. I need to treat her better."; "I just need to rest."; "I need to be careful or we’ll drift apart." And then obviously as the narrative continues, Samuel wants to grow and 'put down roots'.

Tmagp4: The narrator wants to be revered and accepted into the Royal Court Orchestra of the Palatinate. He wants to show off and impress. The violin "was a creature with needs and purpose of its own. The needs were simple enough. Blood. Flesh." It has these needs and desires.

So far, I'm interpreting it to be that everything so far can be interpreted as a desire of sorts, varying in the strength and intensity of it. Obviously, fear is still a big part of it all, because if you want something so badly, aren't you afraid of it being stolen from you? Of it being out of your grasp? Of it being unachievable or impossible in some capacity? Of it being a lie?

Even Sam wants to find out more. He wants to know the why and the reason for things. Gwen wants Lena's job. Collin wants to fix all these bugs and keep Freddie running. Alice wants to just get on with it because she found out that wanting to know the 'why' of things is dangerous.

I think that somehow when the Web took all the Fears into a different universe, they morphed into something else. Or they changed to fit what was the most prevalent thing in that universe, because after all, everyone wants something, even if it's something small and inconsequential. Life and aspects of it has always been characterised by that desire for something. Like people wanting food, shelter, safety, love, warmth, happiness, etc. And I think since the Web was so intwined with Jon and Martin, it absorbed some of their emotions when it found its way into this new world, because after all Jon and Martin wanted to stop Jonah/Elias, to stop the apocalypse, to destroy the Panopticon, to be safe, and they wanted each other. I think the wanting and fear of things are really entwined in it all, though this could be absolute bullshit haha

i need to go to bed so bad but i can't stop thinking about bi buck and him kissing a man and how that whole scene was so clearly about eddie the whole fucking time. buck's shock when it's tommy on the other side of the door and not eddie. 'trying to get your attention has been exhausting' when he's been huffy and jealous and pissed even when tommy wasn't around, but always when eddie was near. 'my attention?' and the skeptical look on tommy's face, like he already knows this isn't gonna go anywhere but it'll be fun while it lasts and that's fine by him. 'yeah, i guess so' because, yeah, the male attraction part feels right and the jealousy about the closeness between eddie and tommy feels right but something about it is still missing. but, hey, something about him has never clicked in place either, so maybe things aren't meant to. maybe evan buckley is just doomed to live life a little off kilter. it doesn't matter that his whole face lit up when tommy said christopher talks about him all the time, and it obviously doesn't matter that he brought up eddie and how great he is mid flirting two seconds before getting kissed. there's obviously attraction between the two of them, but tommy very clearly knows buck is eddie's in a way he'll never be anyone else's. thanks for coming to my ted talk i'm losing my mind.

Me: hey jonny and alex can I have some jmart

Jonny and Alex: we have jmart at home.

The JMart at home:

So...

You decide!

A character falls in love after a questionable consensual one night stand. He manipulates a friend of the person he loves to get his phone number and, when told to leave him alone and blocked, proceeds to buy multiple SIM cards to bypass the block thus causing nightmares and panic attacks as his privacy is ripped away. He then proceeds to finale his way into caring for him when he's sick and repeatedly sexualizes his illness and exhaustion. When the main character recovers and is nice due to the feeling of losing him, he continues to overstep and is broken up with. He then uses a key he obtained by lying about their relationship status in order to break into the dorm of the main character and read his diary.

Is this the evil ex or the main love interest?

Finally gaining approval and popularity in a world you always craved being a part of vs. watching the other person enjoying the very thing you're trying to escape
