Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

In case ya’ll are interested in my Spotify Wrapped Apple Music Replay ‘23.

The only surprising one for me was Hannah Montana at #5 because I didn’t think I listened to those albums so much but 🤷🏻‍♀️ here we are!

Taylor Swift and Kelsea Ballerini being my top two artists this year will come as a surprise to nobody especially my brother who was the most unwitting passenger in the car and bore witness to me blasting both of these artists on repeat.

Shout out to my brother for being a good passenger (most of the time)!

Apple Music Replay 2024 is here!

Taylor is #1 for the third time (‘22-‘24), Kelsea Ballerini is #2 for the second year running. 5 Seconds of Summer is still in my Top 5 Artists.

Top 4 songs are Taylor of course (it’ll probably be the same next year if I can afford to get Apple Music again.

The three albums Taylor released this year are on the Top Albums list. Kelsea’s new album made the cut despite it only coming out in October.

The surprising one this year was Julie and the Phantoms being on the list because I didn’t think I’d listened to the album so much this year, but 🤷🏻‍♀️.

If Taylor releases Reputation and Debut next year like I think she will, those albums will probably be on here. Whether that happens or not, Taylor will probably still reign next year, but we can only see if I can get Apple Music again next year!

last Sandman observation of the night but I like how all the moments of Morpheus being a dick are, from his pov, just him telling it as it is

“Joanna I can’t do anything for your ex” she’s dying! That’s Death job and even she can’t interfere here!

“yeah Lyta I’ll be taking your baby later” that’s how this works! It’s going to happen whether any of us want it to or not!

“sorry Rose I will be killing you now” it’s literally that or the universe ending. Sucks but it’s gotta happen!

there are The Rules and that they Must Be Followed and he has a hard time understanding why humans get all upset when he tells them this

he treats people terribly, but (for the most part) he’s not doing so maliciously. He just…doesn’t think

Xena Warrior Princess 3.18 Fins, Femmes And Gems

I remember watching a documentary series about the 90s and the TV at the time and they talked about “gay subtext” in Xena, showing a few clips from the show.

I (straight) turned to my mom (straight) and said “What subtext? There was no subtext in ANY of those scenes.”

speak now is for the hopeless romantics and daydreamers who still haven't experienced real love but continue to be hopeful and believe in luck and magic sometimes - even though it's in stark contrast of the silly world we now live in as adults

When Dream is being Silent and Mopey so Death sarcastically asks herself the questions he should be asking, and then immediately he puts on a smug little expression, gets in her face and repeats them word-for-word...the Sibling Energy TM.

“Oh you’re the sandman?” Dream says to a small child with a tiny little smile and suddenly I’m sobbing

The Sandman 01E02: Imperfect Hosts

[waterswondrousdeep]

i am so glad that sandman did the battle between lucifer and dream the way they did because honestly it feels like it really highlights the narrative similarities between them as these fragile, powerful beings who go through the traumatic experience of being cast out and imprisoned, and it lead them to such different outcomes. for lucifer, despair led to destruction. for dream, despair led to hope.

[maikhiwi00]

Wow. You’re as good as your… friend there.

The Sandman | S01E01: Sleep of the Just

[thelightfluxtastic]

Are folks ready to admit Neil Gaiman was right about the eyes thing? Like, he said on his own Tumblr that it was for the acting performance (which matters a lot more for a long-form show). And the night-eyes look great and impactful when they make their appearances! But yeah, considering Morpheus is *completely silent* for the first 40 minutes of the first episode, and had to do a lot of acting *entirely with his eyes*, it works impeccably well.

Seriously though shout out to Tom Sturridge for the micro expressions. You know the era of tumblr where people would read paragraphs of meta into a character blinking? He does that. Manages a whole range of expressions without ever leaving the address of "slight pout".

[aimlessrambling]

Y’all remember when Chris Hemsworth said he’s not considered a serious actor because he’s just too buff?

Like you’re really gonna use that as your excuse in a world where Henry Cavill exists and is very much taken seriously as an actor?

Just sayin. Maybe it’s not the muscles. Maybe it’s you dude.

Unsaid Emily Rant

Okay, so let's get this out of the way: I don't hate Emily or Mitch but I will be criticizing them a bit because if you made your son feel so unsupported that he ran away for 8 months then something is wrong on your end, even if you're generally good people and good parents.

Anyways can we talk about how great of a lyricist Luke is? In particular the line "the words I most regret are the ones I never meant to leave unsaid, Emily" because it has two meanings! On paper it reads like he regrets not talking to his mother more and not saying "I love you" more but in the actual song he doesn't pause between "unsaid" and "Emily" where the comma is. He pauses between "leave" and "unsaid" meaning the words he regrets are the ones he said in anger during the fight and "unsaid emily" is being used as a full name or title, because Luke up until this point refused to talk about his mom with anyone, so Emily is remaining unsaid.

And obviously both Emily and Luke are super stubborn. They refuse to compromise on anything related to music and Luke refuses to go home until he becomes famous or dies (we know which one came first). Luke probably felt like his parents had no faith in him and were just trying to ruin everything for him and make him be boring and do things he's not passionate about forever. He probably thinks his mom thinks he's untalented.

Emily probably dose think Luke is talented. She also knows how young Luke is and knows how easy it is to manipulate and abuse child stars. Drugs and suicide were staples of rock star life. Kurt Cobain committed suicide the year Luke ran away. She also knows that if he doesn't make it in the industry with nothing to fall back on he was just going to ruin himself.

Teenagers are dramatic and prone to extremes but a 16 year old doesn't run away for no reason. A 12 or 13 year old might run away over minor issues but by 16/17 that phase is over, he must have felt very trapped. He also loved his mother and wanted to take everything back as soon as he did it. Emily obviously loved her son but didn't know how to handle someone so passionate.

In closing these are my (abridged) thoughts on Unsaid Emily
