Shortest version (I think): you own the words, they own the characters. You can't make money off of their characters, they can't make money off of your words (which GenAI has made a much more important issue).

correct me if I'm wrong...but I don't think you can copyright fanfiction? I see people putting ©️ on their fics and intro posts and I'm pretty sure you can't protect anything. you don't have any rights to the characters? Fanfic has a long complicated relationship with the law and getting sued and there's an interesting uptick now in new writers being much more protective. It's a big change from the early days where you had to put disclaimers on everything.

Leverage episode where they have a job in LA and the evil rich asshole of the episode’s lawyers are from this very weird firm called Wolfram & Hart. and Hardison looks into it and is just like. hey guys why do they have deliveries of actual human blood listed under catering expenses

We need to embrace the fact that the tumblr userbase is aging. What’s everybody’s favorite kitchen appliance?

The Catco board not absolutely bricking it when they find out the new CEO is a photographer with less than a year's managerial experience 👍

Supergirl making zero sense: a masterpost

Kara trying to claim that aliens don’t exist in the first episode when Superman is literally a known alien??

Winn magically obtaining bulletproof fabric to make Kara’s suit

Kara magically obtaining a whole new Evil Version suit out of literally nowhere (and only for one episode! Where did it go?!)

Where did Maxwell Lord go after season 1?

And Morgan Edge for that matter

Mon-El’s one-episode power that never appears again (the electricity thing)

Kara flying through the fucking ceiling and NO ONE NOTICING

Where did Mon-El get those clothes after escaping the DEO??

Kara never talking to her parents once after leaving Argo

This is everything I could think of, please chime in if I forgot anything!

I do have genuine affection for this show and what it did for me, and all the awesome people I connected with because of it. I think the problem I have with it now is that with all the other stuff I've watched since that's not a superhero show, I have higher expectations and it's harder to suspend my disbelief in the way that this show asks you to. Which isn't entirely the show's fault, but some of this stuff is just like...really???

Let's throw in:

Lena being single-handedly responsible for bringing down Lex while the red sun rendered Superman completely powerless, as well as the star witness at his trial

Every single person forgetting this

Especially Lillian, who when faced with her husband's bastard spawn who imprisoned her son and now sits on his throne, goes along with the textbook definition of entrapment

And on a different note:

Did ALL the Worldkillers fall into some sort of time-well like the Phantom Zone? Why aren't they all Clark's age?

I'm fairly certain if Cat Grant saw a breaking news bulletin of Livewire attacking a police station RIGHT NOW using CCTV *FROM THE STATION* she'd have a contract written up for whoever pulled that off by the end of the week

(on the other hand, it's probably the same person who put the death of Toyman on the air before DoC informed the next of kin, so maybe not)

Dumb SG observations, part infinity: for a show that makes so much hay out of the Importance of Journalism, there's an absolute shit load of breaking news that gets delivered by their competitors

The Martian (2015)

So…I’ve still gotta figure out how to grow three years worth of food. Here. On a planet where nothing grows. Luckily, I’m a botanist.

Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.

There was a couple of minutes there I was gonna bring Cameron Chase back in to track Livewire. Glad that passed.

Another episode rewrite, another thematically confused plot that barely holds together that I'm nevertheless not entirely willing to change

[ninjagoat]

That is a dangerous thought exercise designed purely just to piss you off yes obviously it's the What If I Hadn't Been Abandoned As A Child fantasy that is the enraging part of this story

i still think someone besides mary should have validated winn's anger towards her at some point in schott through the heart.

he does, in fact, have every goddamn right to be pissed, and recognizing that and affirming that he very much does have a say in her walking back in is a really important part of being able to move through the pain and anger.

Pray for me - I might actually have to change this plot

Kara wants Mon-El to follow orders, but wants to pretend she isn't giving them. It would be great if someone pointed out this obvious fact, but nooooooo
