greasers enthusiast @bidisaster-peanut-romano - Tumblr Blog

so. making a new introduction post ig?? also to make navigation easier and so forth.

so hello and welcome to my humble blog!!

i'm telemaco; call me ele, mac, or whatever combination of letters you can find in there. i'm a legal adult (21yo), though in practice i'm still learning what adulting means, and i study classic lit in uni.

i'm mostly a writer!! i can also articulate my thoughts and headcanons well enough when i try, so. do not be afraid to visit my inbox! even about the most obscure characters in the game i will yap abt it if i find the right excuse.

my area of expertise are the greasers and surroundings. official peanut romano fanclub since 2022, lola lombardi defender, self-proclaimed ceo of tad/peanut and so forth*

*titles that in no way reflect my merits but hey. i have a lot of material about them that bit is true

still, i'm ready for conversation about any character at all, as i believe there are nuanced discussions to be had about... literally anybody and anything in this game.

useful links for easier navigation: ↪ ao3 note: unless i state it explicitly, none of my fics happen in the same verse. so do not look for coherence or similar among the works. only the background is mostly the same (but even then, that might not be the case), but otherwise it's not a mistake, just that each work has its autonomy and stuff. ↪ original posts ↪ metas, essays & writing (longer posts) ↪ funky playlists! ↪ carrd

also before we begin. there's more on my carrd, and little ol' me can do nothing to stop you since i'm just some guy on the internet. this is just the basis to coexisting peacefully to me lmao. but please do block me if

↪ any shades of queerphobia, racism, ableism, sexism, you get the drill. this includes transmeds, radfems, terfs and swerfs. you're not welcome around here.

↪ you think it's impossible to handle subjects without endorsing them. again, learn to analyze art critically and you'll be fine.

↪ you use ai of any kind. c.ai, voice ais, text ais, images ais. make your own content or fuck off.

#odyposts #it was due time that i actually did this lmao. esp with the way this fandom is currently i think it can only do good #i mean it may feel a bit unnecessary at my age lmao but yknow how it is. how do you do fellow kids dot jpg

sob I keep rereading all of your stuff and I can't get enough!! it's so good! You officially converted me into a peanut romano fan, I don't wanna leave the rabbit hole kasjdhfakshdf

omg hi anon!!! thank you so much, welcome to the club hehe!!!

i am unfortunately aware that i am not posting much at all lately, mostly migrated to different fandoms (mostly here on tumblr motorsports, motogp and f1), and also bc the fandom isn't quite the same as it was when i joined it as a kid. but i'm still sooo fond of them and of peanut... so i'm very very happy that my love and enthusiasm gave you something, lol!! this rabbit hole is a nice place to stay i think. <3

#and i think it's also p interesting to add that part of why i got into motogp is exactly how i loved the greasers LOL #if anyones curious abt it if u want my other sideblogs. ask and u shall be given ig #ngl there are times when i still think abt writing something. i haave a lot on my place and not quite the idea but dang.#i miss u peanut i miss u lola i miss u tad i miss u tadnut.....#peanut romano #odyposts #odyanswers

Paparazzi / The Big Game

Like promised, Mandy angst related art

#mandy wiles #jimmy hopkins

alright. i was gonna be mature, i was gonna look away, but comes a point where it just becomes annoying. especially when one acts like their discomfort means that other people have to "educate themselves".

i have probably already said it, i will say it again: i think paparazzi was a good mission, that it fit the narrative and that it should not be taken off the game.

jimmy is not a hero: even if you, the player, goes through the game as him, it does not mean you have to identify with him. he's a teenage boy with a cynical and nihilistic worldview, he's rude and he does shit for money. earnest offered him good money, he did the thing. it is coherent and it works

also, for the record, he does feel bad afterwards, when he talks to mandy and finds out how distraught she is. see, jimmy is a teenage boy, and he has no strong relationship with his mother, so he doesn't have half a clue of what women, girls have to go through from a young age; don't you remember how paparazzi were making shit up about women in the entertainment industry every other day?

so talking to mandy is where it opens his eyes on it, at least a bit. to him, it was no big deal, but now he realizes how fucked up what he did was. it is moment of growth, for jimmy, you see.

plus, again: the theme of the consequences of the sexualization of young girls is a big theme in bully, and i could talk lengths about how the relationship between mandy and lola and their very characters reflects that, how they internalized those ideas and crafted their behaviors and personas about them.

mandy is the attractive girl next door, pure enough to be marriage material but not too innocent as to be boring; she took pride in this, she knew that she was desirable and it made her feel good. but it all crashed down in paparazzi, where she lost entirely that sense of false agency she thought she had over others' image of her.

paparazzi is an incredibly interesting mission, it says a lot about the world of bully, about its characters, about the satire and criticisms that pervades the game, which is a fictional playground to explore themes and concepts and understand a bit better something about our world, too- not a place for morality lesson. so, please, educate yourself and learn to analyze a work past your holier. than-thou discomfort biases.

#i was out there ruminating. no mac youre adult and mature you cannot keep getting into fights w kids who are simply still ignorant.#but i saw 'educate yourself' and i saw fucking red. like no really i think you're the one who should go back to school and/or pick up a +#real book and/or read a literature textbook.#odyposts #canis canem edit #bully scholarship edition #paparazzi #mandy wiles #jimmy hopkins #not to mention earnest… you guys do know that a character doesn't need to be a good person to be a good character right.... you KNOW that..

actually, i’m bringing this out of the comment.

i actually believe that this confession and honestly a lot of discourse and discussions in general surrounding gary reek of ableism in the very idea of what “psychopathy” means.

i don't expect a fandom consisting of such a young audience to know about the history of psychopathy as a label of stigmatization and discrimination and dismissal of mental health issues that impact social/antisocial behavior and crime.

but… i in fact do expect that you educate yourself before using a term with this kind of implications, especially for a fandom that prides itself in social justice and inclusion and whatever.

the game uses it gratuitously because it was made/set in the early 2000s, so it would be fair if you used it in an in-game context. but when discussing the game from an external standpoint you can't turn a blind eye on that.

#this is serious talk i know. but it was time that someone said it.#bully canis canem edit #bully scholarship edition #gary smith #also: obviously not an attack on the confessions page. my criticism is to the anon who submitted it.
