the internet is so cursed, when people look back on the history of covid-19 it's going to look so different from the history of the plague because we will have left a trace of quarantine playlists all featuring toxic by brittany spears
Now this is how you win a Fandom and make sure that they love you before your movie releases.
I would fight a fucking army for Syd and maybe it’s because Carmy allowed the others to act like trash. Or that she put up with so much bullshit trying to implement his brigade. Or, despite being tiny, she doesn’t back down from anyone and inserts herself into disputes to de-escalate even if they’re teetering on violence.
Because it’s something so fascinating about one of the smallest people in the kitchen not backing down to tall, aggressive men. When Richie was in her face and episode 7 and she got this crazy look in her eyes like she was with the shits and would take him on.
Or how she just spoke her mind to Carmy as she was quitting and wasn’t afraid or stuttering and hedging her words. Just straight up told this man he was a piece of shit.
And how she got into those mobsters faces and made them introduce themselves and didn’t use violence to de-escalate.
She also talks in this unique way where she’s constantly trying to talk to people in a calm, approachable way, but it’s laced with this frankness like when she was telling Sweeps the floor was so dirty she could slip. Or telling Tina she didn’t have time to fuck around.
But she’s also vulnerable and is trying her best and does everything in her power to make sure things run smoothly.
And my response to her i so visceral because I relate so much to her. I’ve been that person at times. And it’s often a position black girls and woman are put into in work and life. We have to know how to navigate situations all while keeping or cool or standing up for ourselves because we only have ourselves.
So, yes, Syd can fuck up in my book and not apologize. She can say he daughter thinks he’s a fucking loser, and then stab him.
Syd has done more in the handful of months she’s worked than however long Richie has been employed at his “delicate fucking ecosystem.” Which is only delicate because of whatever was going on with Micheal and Richie sure as hell doesn’t know how to run a business.
Because even if Syd did something wrong, no she didn’t.
And, as much as I love Carmy, I don’t give a shit that she didn’t apologize for the kitchen kerfuffle.
“what are you reading?”
“its a…online book.”
Okay, but hearing Doc Ock tell Tobey's Peter, “You are all grown up now, my dear boy,” made me cry my eyes out because it made me realize that I've also grown up since the first Spider-Man movies
God i miss 2014 fandom era tumblr. Life was so shit but i read so many books and watched so many shows and fell in love with so many characters. I would stay awake at night listening to music and imagining love scenes or fight scenes or recreating whole novels with me as the main character, and I know we look back at that time and think it's cringe, but it was an escape from reality that I desperately needed back then, and I havent been able to recreate that since.
*missing the charging port on my phone* don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it
Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
society if supernatural was about kevin, claire, and jack (full 1 / 2 / 3) [ID in next reblog]
you know how mathematicians have the journal of recreational mathematics, right? where they publish stuff like, ‘oh i found this cool property of this one seemingly boring number’, or, ‘this is literally nonsense but it sounds ~scientific~’ and it’s all great fun to read?
well
behold, the journal of recreational linguistics
with such delightful papers as ‘tennis puns’, ‘animals in different languages’, and ‘gifts from a homonymous benefactor’
excuse me while i go read all 50 volumes in one sitting
