Fun, But In No Sense Civilized

A somewhat meaty concoction of fandom, social justice, and whatever else drives me to mash "reblog" like a bird diving for seed.  ♂

was poking around and saw a screengrab of an old tweet by Adam Neylan and I think he was talking about the Chaz/Millie backstory because he said "Oh he's dead but he may show up in flashback as he's important for someone's story"

so like what happened to that? Chaz is supposed to be dead but they tease him coming back in a short even though he wasn't popular to begin with?

You can tell Adam was either lying or trying to save face for the show, Chaz was never important to anybody's story.

His mouth probably tastes like sardines. He is shown eating some in a deleted scene when he leads the others into the room where they eventually sing that Mighty Eagle anthem (he also farts after eating those while telling another exaggerated story of his "accomplishments").

I personally found the scene hilarious,but it's definitely a wise choice to pass on this guy...

The fact that this guy canonically fucked haunts me at night.

The Project Hail Mary fandom is unironically very cool because it has sparked interest in: "protagonist being HCed as aroace/aroace-spec by a huge chunk of the fandom" "crossover relationships, familial, platonic and romantic as a cool thing to do" "alien/human relationships"... which is genuinely awesome!

It really is! I like that for the most part, people in the fandom all seem to coexist peacefully, kind of sort of.

I’m all for criticizing Hellaverse. But one of the crits on this site was basically “Moxxie being bisexual makes me uncomfortable, he should have been gay instead.” and then they went on to imply bisexuals in straight passing relationships are basically just straight. And like…there’s a million things wrong with how certain things in this shitshow are handled but the fact they have bi characters isn’t one of them, also biphobia isn’t critique, it’s just biphobia. 😐

Ugh, that's annoying as hell. One of the very few things Viv does consistently well is making it clear that bisexual characters are still bi even when they're dating someone of the opposite sex.

i mean, it's not incorrect...

Jax is the funniest possible character to be the center of this situation, because it wouldn't be ooc for them to completely transition 100% of the way and still swear up and down that it's to commit tax evasion.

Brandon's shtick of "look at me, aren't I so loud and crass and shocking" is wearing so thin. It's not cute or funny anymore bro, you're just genuinely annoying and unlikable. Not to mention desperate, everything he does just feels like a desperate ploy for attention.

It's sad to see, because he can write, act, and can be pretty damn funny when he puts his head to it and isn't just screaming swears or doing blackface. You look at his behavior nowadays and the general impression is just, "Fuck it."

On your count, how many people has Viv had a falling out with so far?

I actually tried to count this and ran out of fingers.

That one cute wlw meme where two brides argue about "someone has to be butch" then swaps to both wearing tuxes, but with funnybunny on their wedding day 🤭lol

I think I've seen at least one person draw funnybunny fanart of this! It's so them.

I got the wonderful opportunity to see Labyrinth on the big screen last week (thank you Fathom Events) and I think this time around really helped me nail down one of the things that makes this movie so special to me: the ending message.

A story with a somewhat childish sixteen-year-old girl who immerses herself in magic and fantasy worlds who goes through a journey and a transformation and comes out the other side more mature could very easily have ended with the message of "Now that the adventure in the fantasy world is over, our heroine has grown and matured enough to leave magic and fantasy behind and become an Adult."

But Labyrinth doesn't do that.

Labyrinth says: "You might grow up a little. You might put away your costumes and your music box and your crown. You might give your teddy bear to your little brother. But that doesn't mean you have to leave it all behind. Every so often in your life, for no reason at all, you might need a little magic back in your life. And your friends in the fantasy world will always be there for you."

"Should you need them."

I think it’s extremely telling that the birthdays of Skye Henwood and Sam Miller are both in July, yet Viv has said nothing when just last year she was taking them to Lady Gaga concerts and posting stuff with them constantly. I bet the falling out with someone has to do with one or both of them.

It's hard to tell, she seems to have had falling outs with so many people this year.

Cities you'd like to visit?

It's a long list, there's so many places I'd love to go! Paris would be nice. Ditto Vienna, mostly because I'm a Billy Joel fan.

Lmao. I like how you could just feel Stephanie radiating "i get a nice paycheck, but this character sucks, but they didn't have to and shouldn't have to". Unlike Ericka who talks Vivzie up so much.

Stephanie's got Disney money in the bank, she doesn't need to treat Viv like the second coming of Christ.

Have you ever peed on your foot?

I once let a guy pee on my hand. Does that count?

[chaifootsteps]

Genuinely don't understand how people can see Viv try to bully and intimidate her former associates with those cringy Instagram posts and think "yes, this is the woman I will dedicate my very existence to. Clearly she is very mature and emotionally stable".

I think a lot of them dismiss it, ignore the red flags, and/or figure that it'll never happen to them, that Viv will always be chill with them. But she only treats people well as long as she's got a use for them.

I haven't watched HB since the end of season 1 and I refuse to go back, but did they ever actually do anything with Vortex? Did he ever show up in another episode or was he cast to the wayside like every character who's not Blitzo/Stolas/Chaz as a result of Loona being demoted to background eye candy?

Not a thing. He shows up alongside Bee and does absolutely nothing and Loona gets jealous over it.
