#Also also shout out to the writers

[a-chaotically-small-lunta]

You know how you look up to someone and how someone looks up to you? Okay, now make it g/t

Lemme explain via example: Imagine a writer who types all their stories on their computer. Maybe they share them online maybe they are way too nervous to do that, and just keep it a secret hobby. Anyway, one day they leave their desk to do something only to come back and notice that their writing document moved to a different page, and their computer didn’t fall asleep like it usually did. This confuses them but they brush it off, telling themselves that maybe they were faster than normal and maybe accidentally moved the page.

However, it keeps happening. Each day they walk away for a moment or even longer, their computer never falls asleep and is on a completely different page. This starts to freak them out. So, they decide to walk away and then sneak back as quietly as possible. When they peek their head inside, they see a tiny little person at their computer, just staring at the screen. The writer watches as the tiny continues to read their story, and that’s when they realize, they’re reading the writer’s story. They walk in, spooking the tiny. The tiny is in shock, they can’t tell if it’s just fear of being seen or getting the chance to actually talk to the writer whose work they adore, perhaps a mix of both. Maybe the tiny gets overwhelmed and before the writer can ask the classic “What are you” question, the tiny burst into a bunch of questions about the story the writer is writing. The writer taken aback by this, just awkwardly answers them and tries to ask them a question only for the tiny to continue asking questions. Eventually the tiny remembers that “Oh right… I’m not supposed to be seen…” and cautiously asks if the writer is upset with them and whether they will hurt them. The wrier assures them that they are mad and won’t hurt them and are honestly glad that their computer wasn’t hacked or there was a ghost or something. Also, how could the writer ever hurt their biggest…well smallest fan?

Maybe they build a friendship where the tiny helps the writer with ideas and getting over those writing hurdles. Hell, maybe the tiny even was inspired by the writer and tried writing their own story and shares it with the writer. Maybe the writer gains the confidence to share their stories online or even publish their work all because one little person loved their work. Perhaps the tiny, with the help of the writer, shares their own stories while hiding their identity as a tiny from everyone. So many possibilities! Just tiny little fans, forgetting they should probably focus on not being seen and not “What is Character’s favorite thing to do when they are bored?” Like sweetheart probably not the best time, but go for it.

sorry let me rant about downton abbey 10 years later

Thomas's conversion therapy plot pisses me off so much. firstly, it's incredibly out of character. he never wanted to change to conform to society, he wanted the world to change to accomodate him. the man who said "it's not against the law to hope is it" and "I'm not foul, Mr Carson, I'm not like you, but I'm not foul" would NEVER

secondly, from a storytelling perspective, the only 'problem' is that he used infected needles. did we forget that Thomas was a sergeant in the RAMC? he knows how to sterilise needles and how to recognise and treat infection. this also shifts the blame to Thomas himself for getting sick and implies that the conversion therapy itself is harmless (Dr Clarkson says it's just saline solution)

thirdly, it's not historically accurate. I'm not an expert but conversion therapy was not at all common in the 1920s, even Sigmund Freud was against it. hormone therapy and chemical castration were barely developing let alone available to the public (I can't imagine what else the 'treatment' was supposed to be). the only practices that I can find evidence of were psychoanalysis and electric shock therapy

Thomas also mentions that he did electric shock treatment - if you really want to make a point about homophobia in the 1920s (and make Thomas suffer as much as possible), show that instead. watching him be literally tortured for his sexuality would have been far more impactful than him just... looking sweaty for a few episodes

Guys. GUYS. listen to me- kate carter is a natural brunette. no i’m not just saying that because daisy edgar jones has brown hair naturally, there’s a picture of young kate and her mom that is shown in the scene where she comes back home. I caught it on my second rewatch. I mean ofc you could chalk up her darker roots to it just being a dirty blonde but no, she really is a brunette.

Which brings me to this thought- I wonder what Tyler’s reaction (along with the others ofc) would be when they see Kate with brown hair. Let’s say her blonde dye was growing out enough for her to decide to dye it back. Maybe she does it when she went back to NY for a bit before going back to Oklahoma. Will there be chaos? Definitely. Will Tyler Owens get a heart attack? Duh. Like, imagine the possibilities guys, hellooo

a thunderstorm woke me up and now my veins are running on pure caffeine and (unfortunately) i have jamil on the mind.

so now i'm thinking about what if yuu has an extreme fear of thunder

imagine there's a thunderstorm in the middle of the night.

you've just been weirdly anxious, and when jamil inquired, you begrudgingly admit that you're afraid of thunder.

it's embarrassing. why would you be scared of thunder, they're just loud sounds. it’ll pass.

jamil had to stop himself from making a judgmental remark. even if jokingly.

he’s deathly afraid of bugs, he literally has no place to make fun of you for it.

at least with bugs you can get rid of them, but you can’t just fight the weather unless you’re a powerful mage.

so the least jamil can do is to comfort you.

maybe listening to music sharing headphones.

or make you focus on his voice instead so you don’t pay attention to the loud noises. either by chatting or reading a book together.

of course, maybe he could also use snake whisper on you so your mind would effortlessly cease those fears.

jamil would if you asked. but he’s not going to offer it himself.

(besides, it’s a bit weird if he’s using his unique magic on you again, considering whatever your relationship is at this point.)

and it’s not like that idea would even cross your mind when all you could think about was the agonizing dread of oncoming thunder.

plus it kinda sounds crazy knowingly asking someone to put you under mind control.

every time thunder boomed you found yourself clinging to jamil's clothes. burying your face in his chest. as if you were holding onto him for dear life.

he'd laugh if he knew you weren't deathly afraid of it. so he'd make soothing gestures instead.

the thunder was still unbearable, but eventually you found comfort in jamil’s warmth.

it really helped to drown it out. at least mostly.

this seemed to be a better outcome anyway than forcing you to just forget about it.

and it would’ve been easier, sure. but how many times could you get the chance to cozy up to jamil

and on the other hand, jamil kinda wanted this moment to last. how many times could he have an excuse for "relaxing" with you.

as much as it makes you suffer, him wanting this moment to last longer meant wishing for the thunderstorm to last longer as well.

jamil hopes you can forgive him for being selfish in that regard.

Joy to the World had a similar almost emptiness to most of it that I feel is beginning to be characteristic of "Nu-nu-who" and that ending was pretty shit lmao. However, I absolutely love the direction Moffat is taking with Villengard (although it does feel a little bit like we're starting to be hit with "technology bad" in bold font) and the criticism of partygate was really very good. Outstanding Mr Moff man, more of that anger please. Also I have it on good authority (friend with dinosaur autism) that dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago so the T Rex couldn't have existed 65 million years ago.

Watching some danger force today and kept thinking about this:

Specifically the season 1 episode "Chapa's crush" because they outright say Ray has feelings for Henry??? Like, there is no other interpretation. It's very much stated that Ray has a crush on Henry, or at the very least, finds him attractive.

Incase you haven't watched it, a short recap: The crew is fighting your typical bad guy, and Chapa is the only one able to fight since the others are incapacitated. Except she doesn't, and just kind of dreamily states off into space. The crew later discuss it and come to the conclusion that she 'likes-likes' someone (Stated IN the show by the characters). When Chapa sees the dude she goes jaw slack and this love song plays. When the other 3 members eventually see him, what do they do? They go jaw slack, drool, and the same song plays. One could argue that just because the writers found it to be a funny gag, and that they have no feelings for him, but then each character shows attraction to the dude!! Again, no other interpretation, they clearly say they find him attractive and fight over who gets him. This comes to ahead when they find out he left Swellview to live with his girlfriend to which they become very disappointed hearing about her. This is not something you'd do if you had platonic feelings for someone, pointing again towards romantic feelings. How does this play into Henray? At the end of the episode Henry shows up and what does Ray do? He goes jaw slack, drools, and the same damn love song plays. THE EXACT SAME THING THAT THE OTHERS DID WHEN THEY GOT A CRUSH. And the lyrics that play during it?? "I LIKE YOU I LIKE YOU YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME" what if I just perished.

Like... how could you watch this episode and not pick up on what the writers are saying?? Even if they didn't intend it, that is still very much what is being implied. Though I find it very hard to believe they didn't purposely write it like this. Because how do you use those kind of lyrics and NOT realize what is being implied?

There are so many more moments I could bring up from DF but I just wanted to get this one out of my system. Anyways, Henray is canon and I love them 💯

Anyone else have the writer blues/imposter syndrome? Anyone else feel like writing one sentence is an impossible feat?

I HAVE POSTED THIS EMO BITCH 17 TIMES PROBABLY BUT I DONT CARE

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK CAUSED THIS

[athousandblessings]

look I'm sorry, I know it's a little off topic, but I have to go sales pitch on this:: If you're at all a fan of @thedevillionaire's fabulous writing and OC's but you're not following her vanilla blog @crimsoncharisma, you really should check that out, because her latest post there is the best behind the scenes look into a character I've ever read. ❤️

[ramshitposts]

need me a ghosts (kind of swap?) au where the Captain was a birdwatcher who fell out of a tree and Pat was a pilot (because of topgun) but still managed to crash into the same tree as in canon.

I wanted to say "all of the above" on that one poll about annoying Strong Female Character tropes ... except one of the tropes was femme fatales and I just couldn't. I know there's all kind of baggage but I love them.
