sorry america but you’ve been really mean. and I don’t want to go to your birthday party in two days

[martelldoran]

Please, what does "pleaked up" mean? I feel so old. But I want to be in on the Thursday fun!

hello anon! happy to explain!

so the original post comes from the ever hilarious @cuppydogshane who made the astute observation that when shane goes to ilya's tampa hotel room, well, he's kinda giving pleakley. however (!), keen observers of the calendar will notice that 11th march is not a thursday. @lesbianlandry reblogged the post on thursday 19th march, coining the phrase "pleaked up on a thursday" in the process, and tumblr did what tumblr does best and ran with it, yes and-ing all the way.

so, on thursdays you'll often find various riffs on "pleak", "pleakley", "pleaked up" etc from the fandom as a result and why not, who doesn't love a shitpost!

i've included some of my favourites below because i love fandom joy and just to give an example of what i mean. screenshots from @smokingrozanov, @ilyasmole, @themoonandmyman @keasusreevsus and @kaijuerotica (post links 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) there's also the #pleaked up thursday tag that most folks seem to be using to share the pleaked up fun if you want to have a browse.

this is also why you might find @fuckrozanov's thursday shoracle or the thursday @assignedilyaoftheday in his hawaiian shirt as a nod to the joke.

and speaking of ilya, there's debate on whether he was pleaked up or serving jamba in episode 5, but i'll leave that up for individual interpretation because i go between the two. screenshots form @oknotgood and @liliesrozes (post links 1 & 2)

TLDR; shane wore a hawaiian shirt reminiscent of pleakley from lilo and stitch in episode 5 and now there's weekly shit posting about it.

sorry this got so long but i hope this explainer/primer/whatever you want to call it was useful anon. go forth and bring your best pleak every thursday!

Actually it's super rude and problematic of you dismiss my vapid outsider critiques :/ People who have absolutely no idea what the hell they're even talking about deserve to be heard too :/

[rozanovshane]

nobody at this work event knows i’m thinking about shane hollander

[shaneswetbrowneyes]

i actually think that what's being missed in the 'why does everyone love heated rivalry' conversation is just that it's good

it's well made, well shot, well directed, the music is interesting, the costumes are both thoughtful and subtly period accurate, the sex scenes are intentional and, again, accurate to what hooking up when you're like 18 actually feels like...the actors are of course attractive but they look like real people. the characters are varied and well fleshed out, the acting is really, really strong

so many shows and films shoot and then slot in whatever music kind of fits or could be licenced in the budget after time, but you can tell that the scenes in hr were shot with that specific music in mind. and the same intentional approach runs through the whole thing

it feels...so nice to watch a show that cares about itself

[raincitygirl76]

Nobody knew in advance that this show would become a massive international phenomenon. It was a mid-budget Canadian show (which means low budget by US standards) adapted from a Harlequin romance novel. The deal with HBO for US distribution rights was only signed a few weeks before it began to air.

But everybody involved treated it as if it was serious art anyway. Not just some little Canadian streaming show that might well disappear after airing. Based on a book from a genre that is usually ridiculed by people who consider themselves serious film people. The cast, the crew, the writer/director, the music supervisor, everybody. They all did their best work for love of the game.

On April 4, 1841, William Henry Harrison, our 9th POTUS, became shortest serving President in US history by dying in office from pneumonia wildly believed to be have been caused by his decision to give a two hour inaugural address in the pouring rain without a coat or hat. Just a fun fact unrelated to this tweet.

speaking of volcanology i am at my LIMIT with people thinking that yellowstone is "overdue". Its not fucking pregnant. if it ever erupts again we'll have decades if not centuries of warning. whenever theres "increased activity" there it means something vibrated a bit more or something.

and while we're on it the eruptions happening rn are also not out of the ordinary. what kilauea is doing is not a cause for alarm. volcanoes erupt all the time its a part of our planet I am losing my mind

[he-who-reads-until-dawn]

They aborted the Yellowstone super eruption because of woke

[storm-of-feathers]

this is true

i just know grace and rocky are going to be linguistically unsalvageable after so long alone together in such a high stress environment.

the mixing of eridian and human languages (and not just english! even english speakers use phrases from other languages! youre telling me grace isnt c'est la vie-ing this entire goddamn trip?) and idioms and body language and various non-word sounds is going to be a sonic nightmare for humans and eridians alike.

in the short window of the story they've already morphed several, now multiply that across the entire trip!

i keep thinking about rocky picking up gesticulation from grace, but on erid it's the equivalent of a human talking with a hand in front of their mouth.

and i shudder to imagine all the scientific short hands they come up with to speed up research! hey rocky thanks for solving the astrophage problem too bad no one knows what the fuck you're trying to explain to us!

manners! social customs! they're fucked!
