the only way out is through

AFTG is a very good example of narrator bias, because if we didn’t get a book from Jean and Jeremy’s POVs we would have no way of knowing the world does not actually in fact revolve around one Andrew Minyard

we've all talked about the iconic neil cameo (i will never tire of talking about the iconic neil cameo) but the scraps jean hands us about andrew? warms my heart. the fact that people in the exy world have picked up on how he's actually putting an effort into games this year. the way he heaves himself out of goal so fast to defend neil from riko. that wymack told the press it was andrew's idea to put neil in defense and it was hailed as genius. andrew getting the recognition he deserves, even if he doesn't care for it. jean speaking to an empty room, "he will be court", as confidently as kevin speaks about neil. andrew having a dedicated candy drawer. andrew always looking at wymack when kevin and neil are being pedantic. andrew and neil and the quiet way they are wrapped around each other's existence. andrew minyard.

Nathan at Neil

Neil including Jean in his deal with Ichirou. Neil being Jean’s “misplaced forever partner, an unfulfilled promise Jean stopped believing in years ago.” Jean watching out for Neil at Evermore. Neil repaying his debt to Jean by beating Riko. Neil touching his foot to Jean’s to ground him on more than one occasion. Him immediately ordering a hit on Grayson after receiving just a hint of what he’d done to Jean. Neil reminding Jean that Elodie too was a Moreau and that Jean is worth saving. I just can’t do it.

Cat's and Jean's friendship is very important to me 🫂

I hate work I should be at the (remembers I don't want to go to the club) the imagination

so uh. has anyone done this yet

Me: it’s just a color, relax.

Also me: No, no, no. You don’t get it. palmetto’s main color being the most obnoxious shade of orange is so symbolic. It’s a color that screams LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! You can’t ignore it. And it’s worn by the foxes who are entirely made up of kids the world tried to beat down and dispose of. Life tried to hide them, but Wymack finds them, puts them in hideous orange uniforms and throws them out on the court with the opportunity to be seen. Because they deserve to exist and have that existence be acknowledged. It’s a middle finger to the universe. Like I’m still here, I survived, and now you have to LOOK at me

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

How about in 2024 we stop it with reading books with the goal in mind to finish the book so you can add it to your list of read books and start reading books slowly and intentionally with the goal to rip it into pieces with your mind and be touched by it and formed by it and changed by it

I’m like if someone smart chose to be an idiot. Out of free will

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

Salute to our troops (70s careerwomen who put their hard-earned dollars into homemade gay erotica)

You're welcome.

love House MD because House is the MAIN CHARACTER at that hospital and there's no attempt to hide this. as the viewer you are fully aware that those nurses in the elevator are just extras. the boss's entire schedule consists of yelling at him. the head of oncology would rather prescribe him controlled meds and flirt than practice oncology. his team's only desires are to fuck him and strangle him, often at the same time. every other doctor at the hospital might as well be a cardboard cutout.

the walls are glass, the better to see him through. he limps around, commits malpractice, and serves cunt.

long live mid-2000s TV.

house md is compelling because it presents a version of sherlock holmes that 1. lives in new jersey 2. is really into monster trucks and 3. says things like "party time" and "who da man? i da man"
