thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'
thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'
thinking about how the idea of aromanticism isn't nearly as widespread as it is on Tumblr/various other corners of the internet
thinking about how most people would probably assume the use of Aromantic as a descriptor would imply a lack of any kind of love or romance or close interpersonal relationships in their music which is INHERENTLY NOT TRUE
thinking about Lovejoy choosing Aromantic specifically, confident enough in understanding the actual concept/culture of aromanticism to describe their entire band
thinking about the potential for there to be someone(s) in Lovejoy who is either on the Aromantic spectrum or has considered it as a possibility and has researched it to understand it (and maybe themselves) better
thinking about hard about Lovejoys songs and realising that despite a few having vaguely romantic or implied romantic connotations, you could absolutely do an aro-spec reading of their whole discography
thinking about Lovejoy becoming part of Aro Culture in my heart
thinking about being aro-spec myself, and how id consider the term 'lovejoy' to still very much be my vibe despite that.
thinking about self described Aromantic British Noises, Lovejoy.
thinking about Lovejoy.

BABES WAKE UP TODAYâS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY đđ
đ¶NEIL IS BANGING OUT THE TUNESđ¶
My (old) contribution to the beautiful day that is april 13th
Keep at it with the tunes.
Anyways for Father's Day I wanted to bring up a dynamic I think is incredibly underrated: Heavy and Scout with a found family dynamic.
Yeah yeah we all like DadSpy and it's cute and everything but listen to me when I say that this dynamic is so good. Both of them lost their father in one way or another. Scout never met his and Heavy's father was killed. Heavy had to grow up fast and be the guardian figure for his family once his father passed on. Scout was always seen as the runt of his family, the little brother who always picked fights and would run away as soon as it happened. Both ends of the spectrum.
I like to think that they kind of crave that sort of stable family dynamic. You could interpret it in any sort of way (father/son, brothers, anything), but I just think they work well off of each other and would like the company.
tumblr is gonna make more money off blaze, checkmarks, crabs, and shoelaces than it has under verizon and yahoo combined all because the users here have a sense of humour incomprehensible to most of civilisation. this website would spit on you before it'll buy something from an ad but by GOD does it know how to spend money on bullshit
i truly cannot stress how much of a fucking freak ghost is. he is a fucking weirdo. he is so fucking strange. mask? always on. 90% of cutscenes are happening and the man looming in the back, staring off into the middle distance. he speaks a max of, like, six words per interaction. he does not make eye contact or â worse â he makes extremely prolonged eye contact. he is a fucking freak. he is a deranged weirdo. i know we like to gas him up and make him all hot n horny but he is a fucking freak and it's time we start championing him as such
Okay so Noelleâs private post about Kris and Susie, yeah that post.
So I see a lot of people theorising that Kris replied back to Susie something like âwhat like you?â or âlike your mom?â or something like that, which is a possibility.
However I saw one person on twitter suggest another possible reply that is even more harrowing in my opinion.
And that was âgood.â
Iâm actually more inclined to believe that especially because of Susie reaction afterwards.
If what Kris had replied was insulting I think she would just get more angry, but instead, Susie was shocked. Noelle said that her whole demeanour changed and that she backed off quickly , this is important, it indicates that was Kris said disturbed her.
I think that sort of reaction out of Susie wouldâve come more from Kris indicating wanting to be gone, or some sort of agreement that their mum would be happy if they did so.
Noelle also mentioned that Susie is head was held low, which of course may just be because she was upset at what Kris said if it was something equally cruel. However, to me it also shows shame,
because she realised that she was picking on someone who already wants to disappear.ïżŒ
Supporting evidence:
1. Humans say âowâ, even if they havenât actually been hurt. Itâs just a thing they say when they think they might have been hurt, but arenât sure yet.
2. Humans collect shiny things and decorate their bodies and nests with them. The shinier the better, although each individual has a unique taste for style and colouring
3. Humans are not an aquatic or even amphibious species, but they flock to bodies of water simply to play in it. They canât even hold their breath all that long; they just love to splash!
4. When night falls and the sky goes dark, humans become drowsy and begin to cocoon themselves in soft, fluffy bedding.
5. Some humans spend time in each otherâs nests! Just for fun! Itâs not their nest; theyâre just visiting each other.
6. Some humans use pigments and dyes to make their bodies flashy and colourful! They even attach shiny dangly bits to their cartalidgous membranes!
7. Humans are very clever, and sometimes adopt creatures from other species into their family units. They donât seem to notice the obvious differences, and often raise them alongside their own young!
8. If a human sees another creature in distress, they can commonly be observed trying to help! Even at their own risk, most humans are deeply compassionate creatures!
9. If a human hears a particularity catchy sound or tune, it will often mimic it, even to the point of annoying themselves!
10. Sneezes are entirely involuntary, and completely adorable. Especially when the human in question becomes frustrated
11. Humans love treats!!! Some more than others. Many humans will save these treats specifically for a later date when they are in need of comfort or reassurance. IE, pickles, pop tarts, Popsicles, etc
12. Theyâre learning to travel in space!!! They canât get very far, but theyâre trying!!! So far, theyâve made it to the end of their yard, and have found rocks
Yâknow what? Fuck you. *Plays an acoustic guitar version of your leitmotif to show you still have tenderness and care in your heart, and compassion for others*
Not socialist in a âI wonât have to workâ type of way but socialist in a âIâll still be working but I wonât be worried I wonât make the rentâ type of way. In a âbillions wonât be hoarded by one personâ type of way. In a âjanitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortablyâ type of way. In a âthe sick and elderly will be cared forâ type of way. In a âno child should workâ type of way.
the musical is weird!! so. fucking. weird. but, instead of dwelling on that and criticizing it, everyone...embraces it. space age bachelor man is beloved. no one hates on this song is awesome's autotune. the quotes are repeated over and over. we all love it despite its weirdness!! and thats a good thing!!
instead of being quick to villainize ocean's every move like fandoms tend to do with female characters who have even a hint of flaw, ocean's an understood character by this fandom! of course, some of what she said is inexcusable (stop trying to excuse some of the things she said abt ricky omg wtf), but we can understand why she acts like she does!! that's very important in a fandom!!
no one messes with noel ok. no one babies him. he is gay. he is a poet. he is emo. and no one tries to femboy him up and make him too soft for his own good. everyone treats him seriously. fandoms could learn from that with their queer characters.
best of all? we haven't gone toxic yet. everyone respects each other's opinion. oh, you think talia doesnt actually exist? hm, ok! oh, you think noel is transfem? awesome! i think he's trans, too! you ship ocean and constance? that's adorable! you believe jane has autism? that's really cool!! etc etc. nothing has gone sour at all. no arguments or drama. we all love this gay little dead kid musical. by being so accepting, we are opening the doors and helping manifest the better tumblr fandoms of tomorrow. keep doing what you do, guys! <3
i'll add more if i think of any.
itâs very levelheaded and honestly so respectable of tommyâs response to be so calm. and for him to end it with encouraging dream to get help and telling him that he doesnât always have to keep doing things like this/being like this, when everything dream was throwing out there at him and accusing him of i wouldnât have blamed him for responding 10x more aggressively to. dream was painting him as this legitimate villain that had orchestrated every single bad thing in his life, and holding vague blackmail over his friends heads, and he just departed with nice advice. if that doesnât tell you everything abt whatâs going on here idk what will
