I'm Reading All The Reblogs.

i'm reading all the reblogs.

We all talk A LOT about how qCellbit is sooo smitten for qRo and how he's so in love and how qRo seems detached.

Yeah sure, go watch the last streams.

QROIER ASKS FOR ATTENTION FROM HIS HUSBAND and I mean A LOT, not constantly, but when Cellbit is around Roier follows him everywhere, flirts with him, jokes a lot.

Christ, the dude put on his husband's clothes.

You mean to tell me Roier isn't as in love as Cellbit? They have different ways of expressing it. Roier demands ATTENTION.

And if you are still not convinced, in the Nether stream you could clearly see how when Pierre tried to flirt with him, Roier immediately looked towards Cellbit for help.

When the elections were over and they went to see the fireworks, Roier was looking at Cellbit.

During the debates, he was always by his husband's side and AGAIN when Pierre flirted with him he CLEARLY replied with "thank you but I'm married".

These things get so overlooked because Roier tends to be more of the funny type of guy and not the romantic one as Cellbit is, but I can assure you this man is down bad as much as his husband is, they just have a different way of expressing it.

Baghera speaks Spanish. When Quackity first annouced the French speakers , I decided to look them up. Then got recommended a YT video of her speaking Spanish, talking about the QSMP invitation.

made me confused for a bit. then figured it out quickly.

Now I wish we hear her speak more Spanish in the server.

Me, history and culture lover, not history major, forgot everything from high school: so... gringo is used towards foreigners who aren't spanish and portuguese speakers.

my brother, high school student, currently learning history: gringo came from the Mexican-American War. The Americans wore green coats.

Cringe started as a verb describing a physical reaction, i.e.: "I cringe when I see [x]."

Modern slang has turned cringe into an adjective describing anything to which a person might have such a reaction.

.

This shift in language is illustrative of a shift in culture.

.

For a while there, in the early 2000s, there was this big sex positivity movement and we talked openly about kink and queer sexuality and creating a culture of consent that broke away from traditional conservative ideas of moral respectability.

And now we are in the midst of this giant purity culture backlash, this giant push for rigid conformity all over the internet. Anything that deviates from the norm even remotely is ridiculed.

And this cultural shift is perfectly encapsulated in this singular linguistic shift, this verb becoming a noun.

The Revenge of the Pearl Clutchers

That's what "cringing" is. It's pearl clutching.

When the pearl clutchers turned cringe into an adjective, they turned a reaction into an accusation. The pearl clutchers don't want to take responsibility for their own kneejerk emotions. They want to blame YOU.

They are saying, "My disgust isn't the fault of my own backwards prejudices. It is YOU who are inherently disgusting. My inability to cope with even the slightest deviation from norm is not the problem here. YOUR refusal to rigidly conform is the problem. I am not the one who is cringing. YOU are the one who is cringe."

Fuck 'em.

.

Take the word back.

Cringe is not something people are.

It's something judgmental assholes do.

My brother and I share a knowing look. But I have a face of fear while he has a face of sadistic delight. (He has dark humor, don’t worry. )

My Mom, who doesn’t speak English as her first language, in the other room: Oh, this song sounds so nice!

My brother: HAHA XD

Me: well, about that..

so i learned many things about Tallulah.

She has asthma. makes sense.

she has trouble expressing her emotions to others. awww :(

She bottles up her some of her emotions bc of all the trauma and horrors on the island. but also bc of how everybody interacts differently and specifically with different people.

she thinks other people see her as a spoiled child/ brat, and doesnt like that. which sounds like something a special needs child would say.

this entire day was full of emotions but she knew that some of her family wouldn't understand bc they weren't there. was she afraid of how they might react if she did say something?

She sounds like that overshadowed middle child (Or i'm projecting into my character analysis).
