there's something so adorable about ava attempting the whole name of the soccer team and the sponsor, like she's here to kick ass and serve but she also cares and that's everything to me
MY GOD LISA IS ICONIC. WE DON'T ALL TURN OUR TRAUMA INTO STABBY-STABBY, GIRL, I LOVE YOU. I MISSED HER SO MUCH THANK YOU LORD, SHE'S BACK!
amen.
Rumi would absolutely show up and show out against male idols when it comes to variety shows that require physical fitness
She has to look good for her girls and humble the mfs that keep flirting with them
it's so funny to me that the dudes at the nights watch make fun of jon's "longclaw" hand-and-a-half sword calling it a bastard sword fit for a bastard bc that thing's pure valyrian steel.
bruv he could take one swipe at your hand and it would come off like butter. i'd watch my mouth around that boy. these dudes have zero sense of self preservation and it shows
Okay the scalping discourse makes me highkey tweak as a person of colour and as someone who checked what actual indigenous people think about all of it.
Let's get the facts straight, was it weird? Yes. Was it cruel? Yes.
But Mari is not indigenous, we've never gotten any conformation on that and if we're going by the actress' identity then Mari has Mexican roots.
Mari was not scalped to be clear here, they cut off bits of her hair.
You can absolutely be mad about the writers not doing poc characters justice, you can complain and rant about that all you want because those are valid feelings to have but let's fact check alright? Because by implying Mari was scalped and that she's indigenous without ever getting the indication that she is, we're pressing horrid stereotypes.
We took one look at a girl wearing a white dress with black hair running through the woods and we immediately go 'She looks like Pocahontas and other indigenous figures we're aware of surely she must be too!' we discredit almost everything we've seen so far that has been alluding to this to push the narrative that she's now indigenous is actually kind of racist, it's biased to be sure and it's a gross generalization.
It's like looking at an east-asian and just assuming they're Chinese or looking at an African and assuming they're Kenyan, even though there was no particular indication or sign. It's our inherent bias and assumption based on what little we know of other cultures but that does not make it reality unless it's confirmed by Alexa Barajas or the showrunners.
Ahhh so good 20/10
I was expecting you to do the main girls and be done with it but you went above and beyond! The pit girl was a nice addition and with the way she runs, yeah she's a peach girly.
I agree with literally all of these and am adopting them as my HCs as well. Too good~
Thanks for taking the time to answer!!
for research purposes what would you say are the yjs go to icecream flavours? I just realized tumblr has us as mutuals and I felt it was in my duty as such to bother you a lil bit
haha that's a great question. I thought about it for a little while and here's my hcs
Jackie - strawberry, especially the kind with actual strawberry in it.
Shauna - vanilla and she'd have this whole spiel about how vanilla is unfairly maligned as boring when it's actually super subtle and complex (It's her. She's vanilla).
Nat - any citrus gelato. If it has to be dairy she'll take vanilla. She has no spiel.
Lottie - cherry. It's very nostalgic for her.
Tai - coffee. Van gives her endless shit about it.
Van - i wanna say like boysenberry idk why
Misty - triple fudge, bare minimum
Travis - chocolate, he acts all tough but he's a basic bitch
Javi - neapolitan but he never eats the vanilla
Ben - i think my man straight up doesn't eat ice cream
Laura Lee - peppermint
Callie - probably a really weird gourmet one that shouldn't exist
Jeff - cookies and cream, and you know our boy is a comfort eater
Akilah - honeycomb
Mari - specialty blood orange ice cream from a mexican grocery nobody knows about
Adam Martin - seems like a tangy and rich swirl kinda guy, maybe mango and butterscotch
Crystal/Krystal - choc chip
Kevyn Tan - bubblegum
Melissa - ice cream cake. No she will not elaborate.
Gen/Jen - vanilla caramel
Walter - something with rock pops in it
Pit Girl - peach
Watching it now, shoutout to @kikikeeks for giving me another way to watch it, I hope you have an amazing day.
Shauna fucking Shipman everyone the way she flung herself on Mari and Misty is insane loving it already. Van looks so hot I can't even-
In honor of the new Cap movie.
The disrespect and the hatred for Sam Wilson is so telling because I've argued with people who have literally said his story doesn't matter and having a story about a black man and his experiences is meaningless because it's woke. No, actually, it's the reality and a lot of y'all cannot accept it. Even ao3 treating Sam with that same attitude made me loose a lot of respect for them.
I know this fandom at large is a cesspit of the worst of humanity who cannot understand the very stories they like or the fact that other people exist and will enjoy the stories even if they don't but it got on my nerves enough for me to rant a little here.
The hate I see Monica, Kamala, Carol, Wanda, Sam and many other female or poc characters is disgusting. I once saw someone get mad at a clip of Kamala smiling because apparently she's annoying, news flash people get excited when they find out they have superpowers as a teenager (and it is natural to express that excitement) and if really your reasoning is that she freaks out over superheroes and is awkward then you should hate Peter Parker too no? But they don't because... Racism and sexism.
If you can excuse that hatred then I'm sorry but you're no different. Let's stop pretending this kind of blatant bigotry is normal and valid for even a second because that is the bigger point. Let's not excuse this behavior or chalk it upto oh yeah fandom just be like that because it's not normal to get so mad over black people or brown people existing or watching a teenage girl smile.
Genuinely dislike and need these people to grow the hell up, if you have any such notions or are someone incapable of basic human decency and treating others with respect then please DNI. Don't even look at my blog. Just keep scrolling and never come back, spare me the effort of blocking.
Jesus fucking Christ, I think I like Shauna a lot more now. Shaunahat for the win because god that was brutal and good on Melissa, the ankle is actually a vital point, that people overlook a lot, it holds your foot and leg together, if it's injured then it's a hell of a lot harder to walk even if you're a champ with pain.
As a Rhaenicent shipper I'm so torn about HOTD. Mad and seething about how much the writers are screwing up on HOTD and grateful because toxic medieval yuri??? Sign me right up. Starring Olivia Cooke and Emma D'arcy? Hot diggity dog that's good soup right there but also fuming because what is going on? Like I said, very torn.
Let's not forget the fact that not everyone can watch episodes immediately. I don't live in the US and had to wait to watch it. I saw so many people spoiling without a simple 'YJ S3' like three letters and one number would have been enough to keep me out.
Absolutely no hate to anyone, I understand how exciting everything is but let's keep the spoilers on the down low.
Be mindful and try not to ruin the watching experience for other people, everyone deserves a chance to watch it firsthand and enjoy it. A simple spoiler warning and/or a keep reading bar does wonders.
Have a buzzing day!
The end justifies the means, but what if there never is an end? All we have is means.
