YOU are consuming media. I’m letting it consume me

[pipshinwhatever]

logging onto tumblr like heyyy i'm thinking about the same character i've spent the past few weeks thinking about. no change here. just wanted to let yall know

[inmyvampireempire]

I love tumblr because somehow I can end up being mutuals with a celebrity (someone that wrote a fic that I loved)

bi!ruben would have healed niall

yes, but consider this: it makes him even worse! at the end of the day those two still can't communicate! they tried one (1) time, and it got them both killed! so Ruben being so nonchalant might push him even further into self-hatred and I love that for him

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

[rneliflua]

blorbofication to me is when you love a character in such a laser focus way that you somewhat detach them from the narrative from which they are inserted and treat them in a way roughly similar to how you'd treat an oc for which you still have no story and just like to put them in situations just for fun. which there's nothing wrong with btw, it's just that it can easily lead to people forgetting the character engine in a narrative and not just a barbie doll

It’s so tragic that half man is one of the best shows in modern memory but recommending it to someone means you have to explain what it’s about. I don’t want to do that.

[llendemain]

I'm this 🤏🏼 close to writing that fic... I guess this is the final straw

[bruisecest]

me writing literally any kind of niall kennedy fic

[llendemain]

@bruisecest here you go!

[vincentpriceofficial]

I think that hug is one of the most potent moments of pure eroticism in the show To Me bc of the overt pleasure ruben takes in touching and holding niall. like on all levels except physical that’s a kiss with tongue
