israelarcade replied to your post: how is there sooooooooooooo little for the prowler...

ur right and also the prowler’s theme was the most memorable song out of the film’s original score (i’ve listened to it on repeat multiple times) so people walking away from the movie Not thinking about him are uh. doing it wrong

i was getting CHILLS in the theater with his theme like it was putting me so on edge and then i listened to it at work and got chills again!!!!! he’s such an interesting character and a definite improvement from the comic as he’s a lot more sympathetic i feel

also bonus the sound used in his theme is the same as the beginning of “what’s up danger” aka the song used during miles’ solo training montage so like. think about that motif and what it means for miles’ journey that it was incorporated in him learning to be a hero

i already didn't Love the film (it's cute enough for kids i guess) but the fact that we're gonna have to suffer months of discourse about this short film made by the same kind of slash shipper people are berating for posting (admittedly cringey) shit about it is. aldjhahdksjajah

i hope you know i’ve been in the sherlock fandom for years and all my close friends are big in the fandom and wanting to see two men in a relationship on a tv show doesnt make us “that kind of slash shipper”

israelarcade replied to your post “you kno its bizarre how men make claims that romance is for women or...”

het dudes: women are obsessed with romance. also i noticed that this transformers movie doesn’t have a subplot where a woman is ~put in her place~ by her male love interest. @michael bay what are you gay?

jdfgjidgijdf exactly. and like honestly. 

i may just have consumed caffeine but honestly is not romance a scam invented by the patriarchy to either normalize or re-contextualize inequity in order to celebrate it????? i wonder if men dont value romance because they dont value women as humans and as such can’t genuinely love them (beyond perhaps wanting to possess them). romance is pretty much just a collection of gestures. and it’s not intended for them so why would the appeal be there?

however the role of romance as perceived by women, aka those who are not the beneficiaries of a patriarchal set-up, is different and i wonder if women who value romance as typified in romance novels/chick flicks/shitty ass abo fanfic/whatever do so as a means to perhaps put themselves under the impression that romance is what love is, that tokens can and should tide them over even when they are not equal to their partners. when love, actual love, is equality.

i guess what im tryin to suggest is that women’s role in romance in both men and woman-led popular romances is, no offense, pretty much the same and to the same end, just at best from a different perspective. also i gotta pee.

i know... like if the two characters are fighting in a playful way or it’s a training sequence (or even. previously agreed upon kink alsjdkal) then whatever but treating the act of pining someone down by their wrists as inherently romantic... don’t like that

reminds me of all those fics where the two characters are in a fight and one of them PUNCHES the other in the face... and that’s treated as resolution for the argument and the other character says “i deserved that”... PLEASE get help

oh alskdlldjsjsh i totally misinterpreted this post. ignore me

nah i like ttly agree by the by.. we like a good sexy titillating fight between equals where no one can actually land a blow on each other and its just some good dirty fun, we do not stan any type of violence between romantic partners, regardless of whether its a joke, or ‘justified’.. if you’re reached the point of harming your partner, the relationship is too broken to be called a relationship anymore. at best, it shouldn’t be treated as normal or just. i had one of my characters punch another character but it was a semi-dark fic and it was definitely called out on and they didnt even end up together bc it was like ‘given how it played out we’d be better of just being friends and supporting each other’. like hitting your partner or overpowering them can not be treated like its normal. (its just the bottom energy in me that wouldnt mind getting pinned by a girl so there is that >_>)

also het couples fighting or rather like the celebration of a man overpowering a woman, or even the usually-patronizing women overpowering a man uhh. stop that. there was one scene someone giffed on here from leverage with eliot spencer’s character, and it was really campy and he and his semi-evil love interest were fighting, but it was more like they were using their environment to their advantage so she’d like bust a water pipe and he’d get drenched and take off his shirt, and then he’d do something and she’d have to take her top off (she was wearing a bra obvs, but i swear it wasn’t even skeevy) and by the end of it they were just making out but it wasn’t like either of them overpowered the other one, they just wanted to make out, and lmfoafo it was actually so good tbh but i don’t watch leverage so i can’t link it. -_- im just saying u can have a fight between equals and it can be good.

also there’s like some untameable homoeroticism to some fighting.. a sort of unique nearness two ppl can experience.. for men obviously there can be that level of ‘the only way i can be intimate with this person is by being physically rough’ and perhaps even a resentment for the desire to be near that can show itself in violence, but i think there’s a whole extra layer for women because women are like.. not supposed to be physically violent, they’re supposed to be catty at most, passive-aggressive in their violence. so for women to be physically violent with each other, not abusive(!!) and even so i wouldn’t proclaim it’s overall healthy but it doesn’t have to be abusive!!, that can really strike me as a narrative. teppuu treated me well in that regard. and it’s like hard.. because i see a lot of narratives for men and not see the same parallels for women and be like ‘what gives bro’ even though i KNOW some narratives for men aren’t even something we should be interested in carrying over, and that equality isn’t reached by women proving themselves to be as violent and destructive as men (LIKE WE BEEN KNEW) .. but like whatever fuck it i wanna watch killing eve

someone on here once had an interesting post abt how they were interested in a kind of narrative of violence between women especially wrt repression and i cant find it and i dont even know if i reblogged it.. like with one woman or girl being so obsessed and angry with the other girl that at one point she lashes out because she thinks she was angry, but the moment she does she realizes that it’s not something she wants to do, and that she’s totally misinterpreted her own feelings.. and lmao i think this was partially abt killing eve but also like about....... fucking faberry from glee which is so valid. like the dismay of hurting someone she actually deeply cared for, but also possibly even the dismay of damaging the relationship irreparably because of it. i’m not saying its a good thing, but while we’re on the topic of narratives of violence (or i guess in this case just cruelty in general), and i got less than 3 hours of sleep last night so writing this post was my way of trying to wake up, i figured i’d mention it.

israelarcade replied to your post: israelarcade replied to your photoset: ...

oh that’s such a painful concept… i’m glad i’m not invested in spn at all because just this thought hurts. :/c indeed

tw: spn beneath the cut

like which hurts more, dean ignoring any and all tender feelings he has towards other men due to the hypermasculinity forced onto him as a boy to the point where he can't acknowledge the feelings he has for cas ... and cas falling in love with him, perhaps not even realizing that the way he feels about dean is different, romantic, until it’s too late and he has enough sense to interpret dean as someone who would be made uncomfortable by cas confessing his feelings. so cas shutting down those feelings, content to just be by dean’s side hmmmmm.

OR dean being comfortable enough with himself to have a brief fling with castiel, only to have that ripped to shreds when cas betrays him for some reason in season 6, and then have them rebuild their relationship but over the years of them being used to hurt each other not wanting to fracture what they’ve built up, not sure if they could treat the man they love as well as they believe he deserves if they did start a relationship together. not wanting to get in too deep and lose each other again.

or like. if ur gonna rlly galaxy brain 2nite. some combination of the two where like, its some concoction of ‘clearly the other guy is straight, and i just dont want to ruin what we got going on right now because i care about him’ which is.. gay emotion #12.....

btw, im not saying that i believe that this is what the show is going for. im just saying. if jens/en ackl/es let these two hold hands in the last episode then the show could pretend that this is what they were doing all along and i’d gladly buy it.
