Cruel Summer - Tumblr Posts
Cruel Summer rejects this so hard, like there's a pairing that really seems like it's going to be a Close Platonic Friendship that will permanently enrage all of the cool viewers, but then they do actually kiss in the end.
And also Ema ni Negai wo, where a girl wishes to be in a relationship with her best friend and your options aren't "Grant Wish" and "Don't Grant Wish", but "Maybe you'd be better off as friends. Eh, what do I know? *grants wish*" and "Nothing wrong with being gay, *grants wish*". You can't NOT help the girl try to date her best friend.
every time there’s a fictional situation where anyone’s like “wouldn’t it be better if these two just stayed platonic friends?”, my answer is literally always NO
I'm finally rewatching Cruel Summer and Kate/Mallory is still so freaking good. Really the best way I can describe it is it feels like there is an alternate universe where it isn't canon and everyone is really mad at it for queerbaiting, it has that specific energy
between the Mean Girls vibes (I've seen Kate/Mallory compared to Regina/Janis but it's clearly Gretchen/Janis, Kate isn't *anything* like Regina George) and Heathers vibes (red scrunchie) in Cruel Summer it's clear Heathers is the only story I'm actually interested in and I just want infinite AU fanfics of it
kate and mallory + parallels (insp.)
this season already isn't nearly as good for a bunch of reasons (flatter less compelling characters, weaker acting, less interesting premise, I apparently like the 1999 aesthetic less than mid-90s) but holy shit the filters are out of control. Season 1's 1995 filter was already so much but it had a purpose with how bleak the tone was. The same filter is used for the mid-point in winter to signify... it's cold I guess? So there's all these relatively mundane levels of drama happening with the desaturation turned up to 11 and it just feels like the really shitty season of Fear The Walking Dead.
And then in the final summer when things are actually really depressing there's this insane sickly green filter and I have no idea what the fuck is happening. I have literally never seen anything outside of like, playing Valheim and exploring the swamp dungeons. I'll probably get used to it but it' heightening the melodrama in not a good way.
CRUEL SUMMER | 1.07 Happy Birthday Kate Wallis
if there was a letterboxd equivalent but for shows, reblog and put in the tags what you top 4 shows on your profile would be
Extreme example with Kate Wallis from Cruel Summer, who isn't even an example of a victim who is capable of victimizing others. Like the whole season was about how she is the victim, and I still saw people be like "okay sure she experienced [everything] but she's being pretty pissy and bitter"
Allison McRoberts and Alicia Florrick are both women who are accused of having a "victim complex" in universe and out and while both are technically true assessments (and explored in the writing), neither are caused by an echo-chamber of support, but because their entire worlds' seem to gaslight them into believing they aren't victims.
Frankly I'm a little sus about how quickly people want to jump from acknowledging victimhood to "okay that's enough being a victim for you now you're just showing off"
They're ready to sing the first bridge of the evening

Middle-class economics: rich on the 1st, poor by the 31st – a never-ending cycle of feast and famine!
first post. kinda nervous
“angels roll their eyes” actually just statistical error. average angel rolls his eyes 0 times per year. eye roll castiel who rolls his eyes 10000 times each day is an outlier and should not have been counted

Battle Of The Bridges: Round 4!
Cruel Summer
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar (Oh)
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate (Oh)
And I scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
He looks up, grinnin' like a devil
Death By A Thousand Cuts
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Tryna find a part of me that you didn't touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club
Our songs, our films, united we stand
Our country, guess it was a lawless land
Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand
Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didn't take up
Gave you too much, but it wasn't enough
But I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts
🌁Please reblog!🌁
