(Out of deodorant voice) maybe we should all be more accepting of the smells our bodies naturally produce

"there is no way you're not using chatgpt for at least a few things here and there no matter your stance on it" what the FUCK are you talking about

:/

can't believe the only options are 30 minutes early or 10 minutes late. if only there were some other way. but what can you do

Women hate it when you kill their dog. Come to think of it, so do men and non-binary folk. Honestly it might not be a gendered thing

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

Also! You can see the demeanor shift in Ilya when Shane yells at him and he realizes that Shane is heartbroken, about to cry and FREAKING OUT. You can literally see the adjustment in Ilya's read of the moment and his decision to dominate. Because that's what Shane needs. They don't even know each other particularly well at this point but Ilya knows that in that moment what Shane needs is A: Proof that there is still something between them and B: Something to focus on that isn't the lingering hurt feelings. Thus, a return to form vis-a-vis their already-established dynamic of Ilya making decisions for the both of them and Shane letting go of his anger/fear/anxiety by realizing that none of those are his choice anymore. There are shades (very subtle ones) of the exact same thing when Ilya talks Shane down in the Hollanders' kitchen. Mostly in tone. But they're there.

one of my fav things about connor is that he really is completely unapologetically himself, not just in his actions but also in his conviction and his own opinion of himself. connor knows he's attractive, he knows he's talented, he knows he is eccentric and artistic, he knows he has potential and will go far in the industry. to some people that kind of confidence can seem vain but with connor he radiates this confidence in such a kind and disarming way. he's not full of himself, he doesn't think he's better than anyone, but he refuses to shrink or diminish himself for others. i'm thinking specifically abt the owen thiele podcast interview where he confidently described himself as "ethereal" and "not of this world" and did so with absolutely no trace of jest. i'm thinking about him being asked at the ysl show what he's bad at, and him saying "i'm not bad at anything" before taking a moment to think (bc he knew that's not the answer they were looking for) and then flippantly saying "dancing", which obviously we know isn't true. bc he knows he is good at everything, or at least has the potential to be good at it. he's so earnest in his confidence, you know he believes these things about himself and you can see it in everything he does. everything he says has meaning and conviction behind it and i really admire that about him. he knows his worth. it's genuinely inspiring.
