"looking at the dream material from the sandman comics we knew there was only enough material for one more season" absolute horseshit that is not why it's ending after season 2, be fucking honest

#personal #like i have no issue with gaiman inspired properties ending due to the shit that's come out about him #but i was THERE when season 1 of the sandman came out it absolutely wasn't just gonna be more one more season after that #this mealy mouthed nonsense is so desperately infuriating #just be honest! the person who created the og property and who was HEAVILY involved in season 1 is a garbage human!#and as such you are removing projects he was a part of!#like at least good omens was honest that the reason we went from an entire third season to just one extra long episode #was because of the removal of gaiman's involvement and a desire to just wrap this shit up #and considering that gaiman was really involved specifically in writing dream from the sandman series #i wouldn't be surprised if removing him from the process has left them uncertain if they can really do it justice #and deciding to just jettison anything beyond a second season either #which is fine but my god at least be open about it

might get set on fire for this but. reid and seaver would be kind of cute...

#theyre being babies its not my fault #theyre being shipteased and im not hating it!#ashley seaver #spencer reid #reid/seaver #reidxseaver #do they even have a ship name?#reaver #is that it #criminal minds #criminal minds rewatch #gotta be honest im getting the sense that MIGHT be part of the reason people talk so negatively about her :/#tbf im not far into her run so there might be shit she does #(i know about 'sorry i asked' scene but tbh that's a bau thing not a seaver thing)#but at least at the moment i feel like some of the vitriol directed her way is because she's shipteased with reid.#like jordan being shipteased with morgan #she's a WOMAN and she's IN THE WAY!!!

another wide range of fun expressions!

i believe Twilight was the last one from the Mane 6 and Scootaloo was the last from the CMC i needed to draw, so funny getting them both here!

also Bulk Biceps was a really interesting one to draw because his proportions are so wild

this week i learned that a good amount of haytham fans believe he’s like, some passive dumbass who doesn’t know jack about shit and has no influence, knowledge, or say in the events of the game whatsoever. for a fanbase, none of you seem to Actually like him.

#txt #ac3 #haytham kenway #at least my dislike of him comes from being honest about his personality and actions and seeing the man he actually is #along with an appreciation of him as an antagonist and a different portrayal of colonizing forces that aren’t discussed much #at least the haytham i know is like. a character who has a stake in the story #the haytham yall are talking about is just there for no reason and does nothing of his own volition #how am i more aware of haytham as a character than his biggest fans here. thats just hilarious #haytham is actually a great character why do yall pretend to like it so much if you scrub him clean #of course this is because yall give forsaken way more canon relevance than it ever deserved #haytham did none of the shit in that book alright let’s stop pretending #the only haytham that matters is the one in ac3 and that’s it

"how can you hate chase but love house" first of all, bold of you to assume I love house. second of all, because one is blonde and annoying and the other is beautifully greyed and isn't a snob.

#i hate chase because he doesnt have the same depth house does!! also! house is at least honest about his assholerly #chase never reckoned with it and only got worse with no reason to! ohhh its cause hes house ohhh its cause house ruined him #you know whos really the most house like? FOREMAN!!!!! but yall dont wanna talk about that!!!!!!!!!!!!#foreman isnt cuddy #foreman is the same guy who got fired from another hospital and switched his gfs placebo meds just because he felt like he could fix it #like house . foreman is selfish in the way he wants to save. his selfishness is rooted in his desire to fix.#chase's selfishness is rooted in his inability to cope and pretty face and im tired of pretending otherwise #also #he kissed that kid #house md #egonkula rambling

you ever just. become overwhelmed by a sudden out-of-nowhere wave of tenderness and affection and longing for reconnection directed towards someone to whom you no longer speak for Very Good Reasons

#‘out of nowhere’ she says like she hasn’t been doing a lot of reading/thinking recently about various tragic messy breakups #and the later regrets of the parties involved #anyway. tell me not to text her #it’s been over two years since the last time we talked… absolutely no reason to break that streak now. lord give me strength #she was really fucking mean to me! like objectively intentionally unwarrantedly cruel! it ruined an entire year of my life #and fundamentally changed me as a person on a deep level! there’s a lot of things i used to like about myself that i don’t think i’m ever #going to get back #and yet every once in a while we have to do the whole ‘maybe i could make things right’ song and dance 😔#the thing is most of the time i’m not even really angry with her anymore like enough time has passed since all the shit went down that #really i just sort of look at her behavior and feel sad. both because of the impact on me but also because of the ‘that’s really how you #felt you needed to act towards someone who cared about you? you couldn’t have just expressed your feelings in an honest and productive way #instead of just lashing out in the cruelest possible way and ruining the entire relationship beyond hope of repair?’#and i feel bad and sorry that it went that way and honestly i kind of pity her and hope she’s gotten some of her shit worked out #so i’m not like. actively pissed off at her anymore. but also i can’t think about her without thinking about the worst year of my life so 🙃#i don’t actually feel that trying to reopen that door would be very healthy for me at least #we did try a Reconciliation of sorts a couple of months after the initial falling-out and while it was kind of helpful for me in that she #like. apologized lmao. and affirmed that i wasn’t crazy and she did in fact On Purpose say the most hurtful things she possibly could have #said to me given the information she had at her disposal. and that i really had not done anything to her that could warrant that. etc.#it also left a sour enough taste in my mouth that i just don’t see a future where the two of us spending time together is enjoyable for me #and yet… the regret will always live inside me i think. maybe if i were a stronger person…#caseyposting

(DAtV)-Music Shuffle Game

tagged by @pixiedurango, this should be Funny lmao

THE RULES: You gotta shuffle your 'on repeat' playlist on Spotify then post the first 10 songs.

I barely use Spotify anymore for, uh, reasons but youtube music has a similar playlist function! it's just 100 songs long so we're Gambling on how many from the Rook/fic playlist happen, but take my hand and let's see what happens (I'll try to spin it for the companions or story if it's a true random song lol)

(hey person reading this, does it sound fun? do you wanna take part?? you're tagged now, go, thrive)

Traveler's Song - Aviators (this one is just a bop, like all his songs honestly, but you could spin it pretty easy to apply to the Veilguard... hm)

Spite the bloodstains on these cobble streets A message to the gods to see us through Ever heard, yet rarely sung So raise your voice and praise the sun I call a new rebirth to keep us strong Countless souls along the path Lost to fiends and lords of wrath But we'll return to play our final song

Just Can't Win - 10 Years (this is a fic song!! this is Rook and Solas yelling at each other lmao)

We have lost All communication When words fall On deaf ears I'm starting to Feel a transformation How did I get here I don't Recognize My own reflection It's a ghost of What once was

Curses - The Crane Wives (this is partially a Rookanis song because Crow romance is Normal and never Messy, you can trust me on this- [I fucking Love a clarinet going for a walk])

Oh, ashes, ashes, dust to dust The devil's after both of us Ooh, lay my curses out to rest Make a mercy out of me All my aching bones are trembling And I may yet fall apart Won't you stay with me, my darling When the war starts in my heart?

Even If It Kills Me - Papa Roach (OH BABY it's my baby girl's de Riva anthem heyyo, she's so normal about her loyalty to Viago [and family in general, good luck Luca])

'Cause I hope that you know when you're broken, I'm broken too If you need me, I'll bleed for you Even if it kills me inside Even if you burn me alive I'd carry that pain that you don't need I'd carry that weight that you don't see

Are You Really Okay? - Sleep Token (we're on a fic streak, this is the last song on the playlist for both Lucanis and Rook because man... going home to the messy Crow politics after All That is going to be rough!)

And are you really okay? Are you really okay? You woke me up one night Dripping crimson on the carpet I saw it in your eyes Cutting deeper than the scars could run

I Want Blood - Dance with the Dead (BANGER ALERT I like this song a normal amount, anyways this is for Lucanis while Rook is in Regret Jail) hi I can't find the lyrics so we're doing it from scratch lmao

I want blood If I can't have love It's never ever gonna be enough Blood, I want blood and to love is to die

Nightmare (The Devil) - Fame on Fire (alright somehow shuffle toggled off between songs, but funny because this is for Rook while trapped in Regret Prison)

I'm in the middle of a nightmare And it's not going away I'm buried under the broken dreams I don't know who to blame I'm in a never ending nightmare I know I'm going insane And when I'm under the curtain call There's nothing left to save

My Demons - Starset (ANOTHER BANGER this is just one of my top songs in general because I fucking love Starset a normal amount, but honestly? it's a solid Rookanis song for obvious reasons below)

I cannot stop this sickness taking over It takes control and drags me into nowhere I need your help, I can't fight this forever I know you're watching I can feel you out there Take me high and I'll sing Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay) We are one in the same Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away) Save me if I become My demons

Don't Fight It - 10 Years (this is The Rookanis song for me, it's so good for them)

Memories stuck in my head All the things I should have said If I fall back into you Don't fight it, Don't fight it Gone are all of the days this was easy Tomorrow can't hold onto yesterday If you come right back to me I won't fight it, I won't fight it Show me what you need from me Don't hide it, Don't hide it

Pick Me Up - Saint Motel (I've only listened to the new album twice, but okay youtube lmao I think you could apply this to Rookanis where one or both of them is Having A Day tho)

And I could use a little pick me up Something that is heavy like a brick Yeah, I could use a little pick me up So, hit me with a little fire Yeah, I could use a little pick me up Something kinda stiff will do thе trick Well, I could use a little pick mе up So, pick me up a little higher

alright I tried to get artist variety in there, but it rolled two of the 10 Years songs on the playlist and I wasn't gonna skip any from the actual playlist lol... honestly impressed we got so many from the it! thank you for the tag, and I hope you guys liked the genre hopping lmao (but seriously, look into Aviators, he makes good music in all kinds of genres and does a lot of Soulsborne fan songs)

#I'm gonna be so honest about the Papa Roach song- I Hate how it opens #but everything after it is Such a banger and So on brand so it stays forever as the opening song for Renn #so not including the one EPIC the Musical song it rolled because that feels like cheating lmao #it was the Underworld tho for the curious #also skipping the Diablo IV fan song for obvious reasons I think LMAO #but Unholy Mother by Jonathan Young (and friends) is a bop and you should look it up #esp if you like acoustic guitar like me #I cheat a little because it rolled up a 10 Years song I don't Love simply because I listen to the album a lot on loop #but otherwise I followed the rules I prommy #annoyed by the shuffle getting turned off because I didn't want to sit through every song and skipped one after adding it here #but at least I caught it fast #the shuffle is now just playing all the Starset songs from the Transmissions album but out of order and this is Maddening lmao #alright jazz hands away I gotta start my day before LEC in an hour #tumblr please hit this with the Expand button so I don't have to use the read more to spare people's poor dashes...#music shuffle game #DAV Posting

Why are people in the ult rakill fandom fucking allergic to tagging ga bv1el specifically. Starting to pmo for real

#I just block the poster and keep scrolling but jesus christ #Idgaf I will forever despise that ship #I fully believe you cannot put them together in a romantic/sexual context without heavily mischaracterizing one or both of them #They do not. fucking. work. And not even in an interesting way #The subtext is there. It is in fact there. There is queer shit going on for sure #But you have to rewrite them entirely to make them fit together in the fandomy way everyone wants them to #And that rlly bothers me for some reason #Also it bothers me when people give G.abriel a romantic motivation during the events of the game #Bc it undermines his emotional journey and his themes of self-actualization #And makes it about the same. exact. homoerotic rivalry dynamic we've seen so many goddamn times in fandom #You can call me a hypocrite bc I selfship with him but I don't really insert myself into that journey to be honest #That part of his life is his and his alone #So yeah I just really dislike the ship #And I wish the fandom wasn't so focused on it #The least you can do is FUCKING TAG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yelling for dramatic effect)#Sigh #.thoughts #My hater moment

"you guys want complex characters but cant even handle ashton" no no i understand and appreciate what taliesin has going on with this character and think he plays them really well. what i think you're not getting is that on a person-to-person level i just do not fuck with their vibe these days. im not a "leave them in the dust because you've gotten more help" person but also they bring an attitude to the table that i outgrew...... several years ago because im not in high school anymore.

#i fear im stooping to orym antis levels but at least i can be up front and honest and not make absolutely bullshit takes that make no sense #which is why i dont talk about them much #its that easy #that being said #i could be meaner and less charitable and say i dont even think he's all that complex of a character #which doesn't mean they're a BAD character by any means. it just also means that this character type isn't new to me #and i got it. right away. and could rock with it until they smashed fearne's mom into a table for no reason #thats a kind of temper and hair trigger im not particularly inclined to humor personally #for as much as i know he can be sweet and helpful and caring etc #and again i think that the fact that they annoy me so much lately is just a testament to how well tal built and plays them

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

Person reading this can you tell me your favorite story and why it was the way that it was.

#.txt #I'm overthinking narrative structure but I can't think of what I would say. I just finished a Tarantino movie #So I am thinking of the genres it came from.#Westerns feel so definitive of at least like American cinema. Even though she was mostly Italian. And I've been very Italian cinema pilled #I enjoy a bit of unravelling but more so as developing context naturally rather than a twist #I think I have to go pick Stalker because I keep going back to it.#If not just for porcupines story. The professor is also really interesting. And the author is more so a typical author to me but he provide #A certain enrichment for everyone involved.#Twin peaks I enjoy framing as a medieval heros story that fell apart for meta textual reasons.#There are other stories I'm thinking of that I think we're told we'll but not scratching the itch I'm having #Which I think would mostly be defined as a detective story which twin peaks for sure falls under but why am I thinking about stalker.#I feel like understanding motivations of the characters in the movie is very interesting and it's certainly mysterious but it's not really #A mystery. There is a central unknown. It's got that post war feel which is very noir.#But other key things don't really line up the more I think about it.#Any way all this started because Crystal Plumage was so good on a way that I want to compare it directly to blue velvet #Neither story is anything that like. Nothing was SURPRISING. But coming to understand the people in them was more mysterious than anything.#Rossilini vs renzi's characters especially.. I like them very much.#And also beautiful visual set pieces and the performances and the perversion #I'm thinking on it!!#I've talked a lot about movies I think I need to find a book that has an interesting structure to it...#Not house of leaves interesting but like Shakespeare. Solid ass foundation where everything has a purpose.#Though I'll be honest I've never had a heightened emotional reaction to a Shakespeare play idk if that should be factored into my brain #If you read all my rubber ducking tags thank youuu sorry!!

hacks feels like an amalgam of glow, dead to me and grace and frankie IF each of those had leaned into the gay properly (regarding the two mains) and hadn't gotten canceled abruptly.

#it's s bit confusing (the relationship between them) but so far it feels pretty honest #like they might be actually trying to tell a story and not making every body wait for no reason other than keeping people perpetually hangi #like #is it sexual? sure. overtly and right there on the text #but it's hesitance to go one way or another feels natural tbh #from what i've seen it really picks up in season 3 #so we'll wait and see #hacks #not sure if glow is the only one that got canceled like that #dead to me had a shitty ending that i'd like to ignore though #last season was great it was just the shitty ending #from what i remember at least #not sure about grace and frankie #i think they got quite a few seasons in #dead to me #glow #grace and frankie

'the reason why i say nobody should interact with anything israeli ever but don't have that same rigor for russia is because russia is a country with a long history that israel doesn't so there' okay and do you think that long history was also sunshine and rainbows? do you think russia got to the size that it did with the power of friendship? do you think russian history only started in february of 2022? are you stupid?

#personal #that's my semi controversial post of the day #(also not to mention that half the stuff people find so great about russia are ukrainian things that russia stole through colonization)#(and if not ukrainian than from some other either ethnic minority in russia or former soviet state)#like i don't feel i have a leg to stand on when it comes to 'should you ever engage with anything from This Bad Nationality' takes #because i'm not part of any of the affected parties beyond being a person who can read words #but if you're gonna do it about ONE group at least be consistent and do it about all groups #it's like that bit where daniel penny and luigi mangione were happening in the same week #and people were giving completely opposite takes depending on who they supported #despite fundamentally the same thing happening in both cases #once again the defining characteristic of gen z takes on current events is astounding hypocrisy #and an inability to hold consistent views even if it means smth you support is affected #(because let's be honest the reason why the children don't hold what russia is doing in ukraine)#(to the same standards as what israel is doing to palestine)#(is because they think communism and the soviet union are Super Mega Based and thus don't want to criticize it)#aka hypocrisy #(also one of the posts i saw with this take mentioned that things in russia they liked included ballet and esfrgthsgafr)#(ballet is not exclusively a russian thing you can enjoy ballets from other countries i promise)#(there are other ballet composers other than tchaikovsky if you don't have an iq of 2 and i say this as someone)#(who loves tchaikovsky's music)

i hope they handle langdon's recovery properly. coming from house where they do it AWFULLY i hope it's serious and honest and raw and i hope he isn't perfect with it but ultimately works at it for the better and is able to overcome his addiction and if he does ever relapse, i hope he's supported through that and i hope robby apologises for how he treated him when they're both in a better place

#chaos.txt #the pitt posting #im being so fr when i say my heart is WITH him. im rooting for him and i think 10 months is a long time for even #a guy in denial to get out of denial and at least get into therapy. and presumably rehab based on what the writers are saying.#i hope people don't treat him like he's made of glass i hope they're honest and firm and i hope people don't just keep mentioning kiara #as someone who is Mentally Unwell the big reason i don't tell many people is because sometimes i actually don't want to talk about it #and that's fine? sometimes its enough for someone to know and be able to keep you safe by just existing in proximity to you #i hope we have a langdon/mckay conversation i hope robby doesn't actually do random urine tests #but like. it would be so deliciously angsty if that was a Thing that had to happen. it makes sense.#and like. in house its this big joke. i hope it is really fucking serious #i hope he gets an OD case and insists on being able to handle it and then has a panic attack in paeds or the restroom #guys can you tell he's my favourite ^_^#its so ANNOYING. i was supposed to have these brainworms about SAMIRA.
