Idk When This Was Written But It Really Illustrates Well Everything I Hate About Modern Poetry.

how did jackie feel about zayn leaving one direction

Jackie would LOVE 1D: they're like...the ideal. Boys who EVERYONE agrees are Attractive (so its not weird for her to like them! It's in face a mark of how Normal she is!) and who lots of very cool, normal people are obsessed by! So it's not weird if she talks about them- it's not like when she's telling people about SF storylines or womens soccer, it's not boring or lame, it's Cool! And their songs are happy and bouncy and cheerful and she just Does Not Get why Van and Shauna make faces when she plays their songs over and over in the car. (Gen and Lottie also quite like 1D. Mel and Tai don't really have any strong opinions on them. Mari LOVES them too but doesnt want people to know how much because caring that much about a boyband is both not Cool and also she knows Shauna will tease her a LOT. Nat doesn't think boybands should be allowed- they are literally A Product that was created from a tv show ffs. They just perform whats written for them, dress as theyre told, make money off kids too young to know better. That goes against everything that music stands for. Like if they were an independent group that made the same music- meh not her taste but fine. But they're literally a PRODUCT, even THEY dont care about the music they make! *sees Jackie come into the room and shuts up immediately bc she knows jackie loves them and the only thing worse than corporate bullshit bands is spoiling something that someone loves so wholeheartedly. And no she absolutely wasn't absent mindedly humming/bobbing along to Story of my life when she was in the kitchen making dinner, stfu Van, stop laughing-)

All that to say, Jackie gets really upset when Zayn leaves because that's a Change. What if the band isnt cool anymore and people dont want to let her talk about them? What will she listen to now there wont be new songs? What if she forgets he's not a member and people laugh? What if- She basically gets kind of sad and mildly panicky over it but Nat knows its more about the change and the sadness that one of her safe socially accepted interests is now Different. It's ok, she gets over it- the other YJs treat Jackie, Gen and Mari to a night eating snacks and watching all their videos and stuff together and even Van and Shauna are sweet about it and that helps.

(Side note: Lottie likes the music but is, as with lots of things, not that bothered about little details like band lore or like knowing the band members names. When Jackie tells her Zayn is leaving, she asks who Zayn is and then shrugs and says maybe they'll just get a new guy who looks a bit like him to be Zayn, right? Like when your goldfish dies and your nanny gets you a new one that looks just like it so you don't cry because there's a Very Important Dinner Party and if you;re throwing a fit, it'll get ruined? Nat is like dying laughing inside as she patiently explains that like no, boyband members arent the same as goldfish. Why not? Well theyre not scaly, they dont swim.... No Lot, I dont know if the band members can swim. I guess they can. Anyway- (I love the idea that Lottie is just very much totally on her own plane of thought and reasoning. And she can keep going with her questions and theories for AGES and sometimes she genuionly believes it, sometimes shes messing with you a bit but only she ever knows which....)

history fact: this is not historically accurate, Caesar actually planned to stay home with his wife that day because she had a nightmare about him dying and didn’t want him to go

and then decimus brutus came by and said “lmao are you going to listen to a WOMAN? nerd” so of course he had to go

guys, not to spoil anything but i have an announcement! everyone on tbe 15th of March, let's all go to the senate so I can tell you guys! 🫃

being a masochist with a low pain tolerance sucks

like yes! hurt me! but also don’t actually because then I will cry and it won’t be fun for anyone.

i was watching the yes minster episode “The Skeleton in the Closet” today and had a random thought.

at about 10 minutes in, Sir Humphrey and Jim are walking through, like, a foyer? there’s big double doors behind them. and as they walk past, a woman comes through the doors and walks offstage the way they entered. they don’t interact with or even acknowledge her, and almost no viewer will even notice her presence. believe me when I say that her presence adds NOTHING to the episode.

but for some reason I started fixating on her (probably because she was kind of pretty and I’m very gay). who was she? why was she there? how did she get on the show? her cameo was so inconsequential that I can’t imagine she even got paid. did she just happen to walk through the shot and they left it in? or was she actually hired to be on screen for four seconds?

this post isn’t leading to any spectacular conclusion, it’s just a random thought. maybe I’ll write a fic about her character.

Slumber Party

op, when you applied to university, were you disappointed that they didn’t have you go in seven potentially deadly quests instead of writing an essay? just asking.

Oblivion Mage Guild: You want to join our guild? Okay, I want you to go all of the 7 mage guilds in all of Cyrodill and get a letter of recommendation from them.

I love Honkai star rail because I know nothing about it other than the fact that one of the characters is named Kafka. They really said here’s a character named after a depressed 1900s Czech author and she’s a hot girl with big tits.

there has always been one state that is more powerful than the others. there always will be. we are currently living through a period where that state is mostly good and we should be happy about it.

as trans activists we have GOT to get more comfortable with embracing the idea that we are a threat to the usamerican status quo. no more of this "we're the real america lovers, we make america great" shit. usamerica isn't and should not be made great, because it is a racist imperialist patriarchal state that has caused huge amounts of death and devastation worldwide. all our struggles are interconnected.

we should not be licking the ideological boots of a political system that gives zero shits about any of us, we should be dismantling it and replacing it with something that does. if trans existence is a threat to this country, then GOOD. I'm fucking proud of that. and you should be too.

oh hey I saw you on Reddit lol
