they´re so oh baby by lcd soundsystem
you could never ever ever ever convince me to hate shauna shipman, never.
out with the “fanfiction as a lesser form of original fiction”, in with the “fanfiction as a means of literary commentary and exercise in close reading”; not a three-wheeled bicycle for aspiring writers, but rather a self-indulgent treat for aspiring critics.

What is your favorite thing about Frank Langdon's character?
on-softs answered:
I love this ask so much I had to answer it fucking immediately. I LOVE A DESPERATE CHARACTER. I LOVE A CHARACTER WHO GIVES SUCH A SHIT.
Frank. from drop, is clearly a guy who is trying so so so hard. First, just the white picket expectations surrounding being Dr. Ken: wife, two kids, dog, good looks, the whole nine. Second, Robby’s golden boy protege. He is in a weird ass approval seeking relationship with one of the most famously emotionally unavailable characters in the show and by god HE IS TRYING!!!! Trying to be good. For everyone but especially for Robby.
We see it from the instant he asks Robby ‘we’re friends, right?’ in episode one.
- I love that one of the core arcs of this show is the stumbling and failing of this guy.
- I love how good and easy it is to hit him with metaphorical emotional (sometimes literal though) hammers??
i wonder if lottie is jealous that shauna consumed jackie but never consumed her
see i like whitsantos as any regular pitt fan but sometimes i can really tell that they are baby’s first platonic m/f relationship in fandom because why are so many of these headcanons depicting them to be this close and comfortable around each other. it’s almost relationship-y and often very ooc specifically for trinity. (and i’m not talking about fanon joyposting, you do you, i’m talking about people’s genuine headcanons and ideas about what their relationship would be like)
she might be able to joke with him and i’m sure they are learning more about each other because of the proximity, but she clearly struggles with having another person in her house. yes, they watch tv somewhat amicably and they like living together even if they would never say it out loud. but they are both still quite awkward around one another and trinity barely ever tells him an honest feeling unless he literally pries it out of her. and considering trinity has a history of sexual assault and harmful behavior by men, she’s still gonna cautious and attempt distance(even if she’s kinda bad at it).
she likes him, yes, of course she does. but she clearly doesn’t show that unless it accidentally slips out. she doesn’t even call him dennis, why would she ever call him ‘denny’, cuddle him, or be naked around him?
their whole charm is that they are so close but struggle to show it due to their varied personal histories and personalities. and that’s what i like about them! she did him this huge favour after barely knowing him and probably saved him by giving him a house. he’s so kind but not very socialised considering he grew up on a farm with a big family and then was blasted into homelessness. he hates being a bother in any way especially after what trinity did for him. meanwhile trinity is incredibly kindhearted too but very traumatised after the assault and abuse she’s been through. all of this makes their communication stunted and difficult. it’s complicated! the fact that she would probably struggle to even refer to him as her friend(let alone best friend, which he probably is), is what makes it all so fun and interesting. you’re taking away their juice by making them so comfortable and normal around each other
