sabes lo que significa eso

from the world title to hangman to swerve ? 🤔🤨👀

We're, uh- we're just cutting a cool promo. You guys weren't trying to kiss each other on the lips again, right? No! We're just cutting a badass promo right now.

I really wish the Yellowjackets fandom could accept Shauna is mentally ill in the same way Lottie is.

Obviously, yes, all of the Yellowjackets have severe PTSD. But it's like people get that Lottie is schizophrenic and that Tai suffers from some unspecified/undiagnosed dissociative disorder on top of having PTSD while Shauna's postpartum psychosis--the symptoms of which include but aren't limited to:

--is largely overlooked and instead her actions are treated as the result of her grief over losing Jackie and her baby.

Although it's understood that Shauna's labor and resulting stillbirth were uniquely damaging experiences that compounded her trauma in ways the others were spared from, she still gets lumped in with the other Yellowjackets as "only" suffering from PTSD. She just has *extra* PTSD. She suffered the most and it turned her into The Most Deranged and Bloodthirsty Yellowjacket.

But how would discussion of Shauna's season 3 arc look if her lashing out at Nat, her fixation on Ben as the culprit behind the cabin fire, her withdrawing socially from the group, and, yes, her extremely (often disproportionate) violent behavior were seen as being driven by her postpartum psychosis the way Lottie's faith in the wilderness is understood to be driven by her schizophrenia?

I don't know where I'm going with this, to be honest. I guess my point is that I think the fandom views the loss of wilderness baby as just a tragic event that compounded Shauna's grief and trauma when what we're actually seeing is the effects of an untreated severe mental health emergency not unlike Lottie's deterioration since running out of her meds.

Bonus:

This also means they can spy on straight people just to make sure they aren't lgbt. This is not just against gay people, it's a cover up for violating human rights. It's never just against one group of people, it's always about controlling the masses while blaming a group of people so nobody looks at the root of the problem.

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?

genuine question

if you select “yes” i need you to explain also.

#secret third thing#the more i deep dive into AEW the more i realize how much a lot of the overarching themes and beats of their#'main storyline' has been set up literally years in advance with of course the wiggle room that injury etc requires#and callbacks - easter eggs - hints - foreshadowing - recurring themes - and repetitive elements are baked in deep: low and slow#they have a Plan and a Story they have been telling for 5+ years now consecutively which is Insane and amazing and parts are nearing payoff#but life requires adjustments even for the best plans so i think there was a delay then rush with Kenny and Yuta and Bryan's injuries#the story was mostly delayed until all parties were in place again then when Bryan was the champ i think they had to escalate their timeline#and take the death riders storyline on faster than planned- that's why it felt so real and good at the very beginning then dragged-#losing focus and not having any real aim or the same narrative clarity it did in sep/nov until Swerve's title shot where i think#from the way yuta's story picked up again right before and Moxley has clear and concise motives that make sense to me on both levels-#the stated death riders storyline and the secret storyline - we're back to where we planned to be and this is Good Shit.#so yeah I agree it lagged but i think it had a much bigger run than planned but it's solid idealistically#oh also see their redesign in the last two months as another sign we're picking up the Real Storyline again (tags via @marq-lynch)

I also voted "secret third thing" and I feel the need to point to the above tags and say "THAT", but also:

Bryan's physical health took what I think he/AEW meant to be a solid full year of matches/story (all of 2024) and drastically condensed June-October, and cut Nov/Dec completely. He went in for medical evaluation a few weeks after the Anarchy match, and they essentially said "dude, your neck is fucked", he asked if he had five to eight months left (which seems to have been what he/AEW intended) and they said "no, you have like five matches TOTAL, not five months".

And so they did the Owen win (which seems to have been on the cards), and they did Swerve at All In because Tony forced Bryan to have a title run, and they did Jack at All Out because he had to have some PPV defenses. It seems like Bryan overrode them on the Nigel + Okada matches (i.e. Tony was like "oh, you can do them eventually, once you have surgery and come back" and the doctors said "we can't promise you'll come back after neck surgery because that's not how spinal fusion works") and did them because he wanted to. And then was heavily protected (for good reason!) by Mox attacking him and then beating him at WrestleDream.

All of that obviously changed how the Death Riders story was meant to start. We don't know what the original plan was, but it's possible Claudio or Yuta was meant to have more storyline, or Mox was meant to foreshadow the turn. It's possible Bryan was meant to immediately come back to fight the DR after WrestleDream and be involved in a tug of war over the soul of Wheeler Yuta. But none of that could happen because Bryan's not cleared.

Of course I also blame another thing: TK's clearly demonstrated tendency to Do a Cool Thing and then completely fail at the follow-through. The DR started off with a fucking murder and then... started cheating like shitweasel heels to win matches. Mox started by "mercy-killing" Bryan Danielson and then... cut rambly promos in a pickup truck like he'd been possessed by the spirit of 2016 Bray Wyatt (when he was under the worst of WWE Creative). The Swerve of it all seems to have been the course correction the overarching story needs, but way too many people aren't willing to extend TK/Mox/the DR any more grace when it comes to finishing the narrative.

yes, i know “good” is subjective, which is why i’m taking a poll. i am genuinely curious ONLY why parts of the tumblr fanbase find it good, if they do, not anyone else, because i don’t actually care about anyone else’s opinions. but i came here on tumblr bc i believe that if anyone thinks it’s “good” and can explain it to me in a way i can understand, it’s y’all and not anyone else. i want to achieve some clarity in the situation by understanding what makes it good to each of the people here that find it good.
