The emo trinity stan 13 year old to midwest emo enjoyer 17 year old pipeline is real

i was on the phone w my brother ln and was scrolling on my phone and saw pics of san and fully said out loud "OH LORD JESUS MARY JOSEPH CHRIST HAVE MERCY THIS BOY LOOKIN' SO FINE" and he just stopped and went

"you dumbass you know we're hindu right where the fuck did that carolina-ass accent come from"

UNRAVEL IN WAVES OF RED

i see your "jim makes plomeek soup for spock" and i'll raise you "spock makes scotcharoos for jim"

Some people forget that Eddie is from the Midwest. I haven’t seen a single “ope” in any of these fucking fanfictions (to my best recollection) and that’s a damn shame.

im begging people to turn on the post dates for your feed bc sometimes i see ppl rb advice with good intentions but the advice is from 2010-2017 and therefore is WILDLY outdated!!!! and that's not good!!!!!

forming a midwest emo band called boy in ohio where we exclusively play covers of phil ochs songs but only the ones that are over 5 minutes and/or have really long names like The World Began in Eden and Ended in Los Angeles

Pink pony club is such an uplifting song. Especially for the LGBTQIA+. The line that sticks out to me the most is:

“I’m gonna keep on dancing”

It’s such a simple lyric but it does such a great job of highlighting how strong LGBTQIA+ community is. With how many obstacles we face each day, we hold our heads up high and just keep dancing.

what if soldier was actually canadian and just forgot from the lead poisoning

Modern Au Venti would be the only archon with a drivers license HEAR ME OUT. Tsaritsa and Furine get driven around. Ei gave her license to Yae alongside her gnosis. Nahida is baby. Murata is MIA. Zhongli used to have a drivers license but since taking on a new identity he has to be careful when it comes to his government forms. He's still trying to find a loophole and its killing him. Hu tao has a lisense before he dose.

Now why Venti? Surely the drunkard would have had his license revoked or smth like that? No! He will definitely NOT drive while tipsy. He knows better! And he loves the freedom having a car gives a person. Being able to just go somewhere at any time. He may skirt the line when it comes to speed, but he keeps it legal :)

Okay bestie you didn’t even need to make a case I 1000% agree dhdudbdjfsb

Like okay modern au Furina would be driven around, probably Tsaritsa too (assuming she goes out?). Yeah Ei would either give hers away to Miko or she just DESPERATELY needs to renew it and doesn’t know. Nahida is baby I agree.

Zhongli paperwork 😔

But yeah Venti having a license makes so much sense but ALSO because he interacts with people the most?? So of course he has one?? The rest of the archons are probably celebrities/something similar in modern au, or whatever happened with Zhongli but Venti has always just been like. Normal person-ish. Or tries to be :)

My lil roadtrip churches photoset got tagged as “virgin” by someone, ive made it mama

Happy midwest emo season

I know the song Superman (It's Not Easy) by Five for Fighting is like metaphorically comparing the struggles of the narrator with that of Superman - being a figure who's expected to be seen as invincible and infallible, heavily implied to be like a new parent who wants to give their kid everything, but having struggles and anxieties that they wrestle with to provide that illusion and fill that mythical role. Yes, I am an immovable rock who will never shatter - but men weren't meant to fly with clouds between their knees. I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane. Even heroes have the right to bleed.

But it works so well because it's such a great portrait of Superman himself. He too is only a man. He dreams. He's bold and heroic and fantastic, but he understands the frailty of human life and he knows that he's just one guy trying his best. He's just as much the man in the song as he is the figure who the figure is comparing himself to.

He does a lot of good, but he's still Clark Kent, the man who reminisces fondly about his deceased dad. He's Clark Kent, the guy who gets along with Lois Lane and who would take both halves of the world and hold them together under the sheer magnitude of his strength if it were falling apart around her. Now, he could probably physically do that - but it's the weight of how he feels about her that matters. It's something he shares with all of us at our most idyllic selves, with the fantastical element of actually being able to make good on his promise if he needs to - but he's still Clark Kent, the man. He still worries, and regardless of his supernatural ability to help them if he absolutely needs to, he still fiercely wants the people he loves to be okay.

Everything that makes Superman special is - for the last labored lyrical reference in this Tumblr post - the special things he's looking for inside of himself. He works as the impossible figure of a hero that a person might always strive to meet, to keep his family happy and comfortable and safe while keeping up the facade, but CLARK KENT IS ALSO THE GUY. HE'S A GUY. HE'S GOT A HEART PUMPING BLOOD AND EVERYTHING THAT'S AWESOME ABOUT YOU AND ME.

So like the song is a great case study of a man trying to live up to impossible standards and become infallible, which is fallacious and impossible by the narrator's own admission due to the human flaws that are screaming to come out against his efforts to be that sort of figure, but it's an outstanding case study of Superman as the man and the myth. The pretty face beside a train and the guy who acknowledges that men like him aren't meant to fly above the clouds.

And the weight to which I feel that this song exemplifies the duality of Superman so well is only exacerbated by the 10+ years of "what if someone killed Lois Lane and Superman became a fascist", or "what if Superman actually wasn't Superman but was actually Casual Murder Is Okay Man because real people would actually Commit Mass Murder if they were Superman", in almost every significant cultural depiction of Superman.

Like yeah, Evil Superman is a cool concept. But that's all he is to most people nowadays. If Evil Superman existed, who's SO MUCH COOLER and MORE INTERESTING than 1950's NUCLEAR FAMILY BOYSCOUT SUPERMAN, how would BATMAN have to KILL HIM????? Would he drop a KRYPTONITE MOON on him?????? It feels like that's all anyone says or feels about Superman any more.

So like, the song Superman (It's Not Easy) by Five for Fighting maybe isn't meant to be a commentary on the duality of Superman. Superman is explicitly a reference point, the narrator compares his efforts and struggles with the huge feats that Superman accomplishes despite the very human doubts and shortcomings that comes with being a guy in uncharted water who's just trying to do his best - but it's not explicitly "the guy is Clark Kent". It's just a metaphor for this regular-ass dude to vent his insecurities about being a supportive figure despite his insecurities. The comparison is invited, but it's not Literally a song about Clark Kent's relationship between himself and his persona of Superman. I'd even say that this is explicitly not the case.

But viewing it as being a comment on the duality of Superman, it's still one of the most cohesive and straightforward depictions of the guy in the last 20-ish years. It is a superb fucking song.
