Obligatory Bi-monthly Yearning For A Relationship Post

“I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in-front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off artists would offer a liveable wage and healthcare, especially to developing artists...labels we got you, but do you got us?”- Chappell Roan during her GRAMMYS acceptance speech.

Hi guys im getting desperate give me some drastic ways to move tf on from someone or give me foolproof revenge methods

Sincerely, someone who's been done dirty by the same boy twice

No, because what do you mean Arcane has completely rewritten the rulebook on queer representation in media, and it did it so effortlessly that it puts so many other shows to shame. Like, how are you going to tell me this animated series—ostensibly a spin-off of a video game—has given us some of the most nuanced, unapologetically powerful sapphic characters ever without reducing them to stereotypes, side plots, or, worse, trauma porn?

Vi and Caitlyn? Their dynamic is ELECTRIC. You’ve got Vi, the rough-edged, fiercely loyal, scrappy brawler with a tender side that could wreck anyone emotionally, and Caitlyn, the sharp, principled, deeply empathetic enforcer with a heart of gold. The way their relationship is built on mutual respect and trust while navigating all the insane, tragic chaos around them? Literal chef's kiss. And not once do we get the tired, lazy "coming out" narrative or the "but what about the gays?" rhetoric. Their queerness isn’t the story—it’s just a beautifully natural part of who they are. And THAT is revolutionary.

And let’s not even stop there. This show handles gender like it’s been waiting for everyone else to catch up. Characters like Sevika, who could give you chills with her sheer badassery and gender-nonconforming energy, exist unapologetically without the narrative ever feeling the need to spoon-feed us explanations. It’s just there, woven seamlessly into the fabric of the world.

So many shows claim to want to "normalize" queer relationships or push the envelope, but Arcane has quietly dominated the space by just writing characters who feel authentic. Their struggles are about class, power, loyalty, trauma, not token representation or forced diversity. This show said, “We’re just going to make some of the most layered, compelling characters you’ve ever seen—and oh yeah, some of them are gay. Keep up.”

Like, the bar wasn’t just raised—it was launched into the stratosphere. What do you mean this level of representation isn’t the norm yet? Arcane said, “We’re not asking for permission to exist. We’re just existing.” And that? That is art.

Growing up right, i always knew I had anxiety. I was that kid who would stay home on days they had horrible anxiety it caused them nausea. But it wasn't until I went to therapy and I talked for 30 minutes and my therapist looked at me and went. Girl, you have crippling social anxiety and are a chronic people pleaser.

Which is ironic because for years I would say I know I have some issue but I know it's not social anxiety or being a people pleaser. When all my energy was spent in acting "normal" at school. I'd plan conversations in my head. When I spent majority of my life up until now, curating separate persona's for school, family friends etc. The only time I truly didn't have to perform was when I was alone. When the only time (even now as I'm working through it), i feel like i dont have to perform and pretend it is online. When even birthdays sound like hell bc I hate attention being on me. When I absolutely refused to ask for help in school for fear of judgement. When I'd be so hyper aware and hypersensitive to people's tones, body language, and facial expressions. When I'm so scared to approach people first and be friendly. When the only way I loosen up is when I'm not sober. Like hello??? Delusional.

When I'd go above and beyond and just try to make everything easier for everyone around me even if it caused me discomfort. When I would agree to things I didn't wanna do to avoid awkward situations. When I literally tolerated being "friends" with my bully because I knew my friends wouldn't drop her even though no one liked her because she was well a bully.

Anyways therapy is a real eye opener

I need a Phoebe Hong duology.

I could probably yap about wards' character development and as much as I love his character he would not have been as memorable or great if they gave him a redemption arc in season 2 and I'm so glad they didn't.

It would be a different story if they prolonged the Hydra arc over, say, the first 3 seasons and had him be a reoccurring character similar to Zuko from Atla then a redemption arc would have made sense.

BUT IM SO GLAD THEY DIDNT BECAUSE HIS CHARACTER IS SO INTERESTING

He's probably one of my favourite antagonist characters. Purely because that boy was for himself and himself ALONE.

I am convinced that if Shield had the upper hand over Hydra after the events at the end of season 1 HE WOULD HAVE 100% surrendered and been like "you guys have shown me the light and meaning in teamwork and family 🥹"

His motive was I had to do what I had to do to ensure my survival and no one can convince me to do otherwise.

I also don't believe he truly loved Skye. I think he saw that they had commonality. ALSO, she saw him as a "good guy" and "saviour" she was one of the last to find out he was a traitor so I bet he thought he could manipulate her into believing him and continuing to worship him as a good guy. BUT Skye is smarter than he credited her for, and also, she's more loyal than he gave her credit for. He's the type to be loyal to a person. She's the type to be loyal to a family. Because that's all she ever wanted. And that was his mistake in believing that she would remain loyal to him alone.

Also him repeatedly trying to redeem himself in season 2 was just because he realised that him being with family was better than him being alone and except he realised that way too late.

I started reading a new book series (sword catcher by cassandra clare). As one does, I searched it on tiktok. Why the hell is everyone complaining about its lack of romance? If you know you like romance, don't read a political fantasy book where the romance is a tiny side plot. It's a political fantasy, meaning the main story is the politics of the country it's set in and how it affects different characters in the story

no math should be considered a form of torture

i hope person who invented math is torturing in hell

Ward was

We were both fucked up EXCEPT I healed and you got worse.

There are three kinds of love:

A passionate love - Lincoln

A lasting, committed love - Sousa

A FUCKING NAZI - Ward
