Acitw - Tumblr Posts
I kinda imagine Sebastian’s life is like a rap music video all the time.
Vaguely ACITW-inspired, obviously.
It's also removing the pressure of constantly overthinking the implications of your actions because the other person is a "potential romantic partner" and you need to impress them. It's letting lose and exposing your true self because there are no stakes, which ultimately makes fake dating so much more effective than real dating. And if one party already has feelings they can see what dating their crush'll be like and if they want more of it ya know?
I think part of the appeal of the fake dating trope, for me at least, is that so much of relationships feels like a performance. u hold the door open because that’s what you’re “supposed to do”, you pay the bill, you flirt, you borrow cheesy lines from the movies, you play a role. it’s fun but does it mean anything? is it “real”?
in a fake relationship u get to indulge in these romantic gestures without having to feel guilty abt leading someone on, about not “meaning” what you’re saying or doing. and then it turns into something real because it’s not the clichéd romantic milestones and romantic gestures which make u in love; u get to the point where u start doing those because you’re in love, which comes from a deeper place of rly knowing someone
acitw livetweet
im rereading acitw guys considering livetweeting it jk I'm doing it
I've never liked Julian honestly, homeboy creeps me the fuck out, why is he so voyeuristic about his little brothers sex life it's not funny.
If I could i would yeet sebastian into the atmosphere for his preppy bitchy immature bs but also I love him so much for picking a car cuz its red
I love that acitw has a lot commentary on class divides, politics and general stigma around sex.
The characterizations and worldbuilding is so spot on. I can picture it all. The internal monologues aren't clunky or drawn out but so very vivid and insightful.
It's so much harder to break the heart of someone who expects it to be broken.
Julian calling Cooper motherfucker will never not be funny.
Does sebastian have someone outside his family to confide in about the events that transpire in acitw because if not that's so rough man I'm imagining him keeping his hookups up late just yodeling about kurt like, "bruh you will Not believe what's happening in my life rn"

i start reading acitw for reference for a project and get sucked back so hard into the glee rabbit hole like i spent the last hour looking at my fave performances and i just I love sebastian smythe so fucking much no you don't get it
you don't get it at all he's so annoyingly preppy i would have killed him if i went to school with him i wanna slap him so hard for no reason he's so pathetic and hes a Bitch ™ I love that, I love when gay kids are mean for no reason, why was he so hell bent on winning a show choir competition he's so cute, he smiles so hard in his performances, his insults are so juvenile and tired, he's capable of touchingly sincere gestures, he's an enigma, he's the only thing untouched by ribs garbage writing inconsistency because of grant gustins scheduling conflicts, which means his redemption arc is intact,he's an alpha gay, he's duelling a lesbian in a parking lot, he's stealing your ugly boyfriend, he's ruining your jacket, he has Tin tin ass hair, he is throwing a slushie at you. I wanna break him in half I wanna put him back together I wanna point and laugh at him but I also wanna bitch with him
During the apology scene he looked like he was doing homework and the Mama Bear Lesbian in me acted up so hard I was like My rat bastard is all grown up and doing homework instead of petty bullying? 🥺🥺
During I want you back he was doing this weird duck like Acapella sound and me and my friend called him a duckling ever since. I want to be this mfs cool aunt who squishes his cheeks and asks him how's life send tweet.
