TUA S4 Concerns *some spoilers for what's been teased so far*
So I'm concerned about Season 4. I want to be hopeful, but I am concerned. C o n c e r n e d.
It's short. There's bits in TUA that I don't personally enjoy as much and skip, there's bits that could have been taken out and nothing would have changed... but I like having that bit of room for more: did we need the Ikea Mafia's viking foot funeral? No. But did we need it? Yes.
The ball pit. The ball pit concerns me on a number of levels, and I'm sure it will be funny, I hope it will be funny, I just hope it's relevant enough why they're in that setting to not be too gimmicky, e.g. it made sense they ended up in the bowling alley; they probably snuck out there as kids and so it was one location they would all know, but man that ball pit worries me like a sleep paralysis demon.
The potential for germaphobe Klaus (sorry that's probs not the correct term but I can't think of what it might be). I can see why he'd be afraid of death now, but is it germ/cleanliness specific? If so why? Klaus has been one of the least concerned about hygiene up to this point so they're laying a whole new framework that I hope they give sufficient depth to. I'm an OCD sufferer myself, about death anxiety in fact, and I haven't resonated OCD with Klaus before if that is what they go for - I'm open to it, just not a cheap OCD gimmick. There's So Much trauma in all these characters at this point, my worry isn't them exploring new avenues as much as not bothering to look into the trauma they've already heaped on and doing something new for the sake of it. If it's done well, I'm all for it, but there's some previous with trauma getting forgotten on TUA so...
The Jennifer Incident. Please, please let this be more interesting than a romance story.
Lila's baby. I love Lila, I don't have a problem with her being preggo etc, I worry a little that TUA tends to speed run life so what is this actually going to look like? Parenthood is such a big life changing deal that I'm curious / cautious about what they'll have done with the characters here.
Viktor. His schtick is that He's Mr Apocalypse, sadly that limits his character coming to a place of peace in some ways. But mostly just let him have an actual conversation? Please? He'll have had 6 years this time skip, if they bullshit that 'oh no one's really seen each other in 6 years' lazy ass nonsense I'll be fuming.
As above, there's been 6 YEARS here, I want to watch the characters and feel that time has passed, that they've interacted, have in jokes now, shared history, maybe not all of them but that makes it even better; have Diego and Klaus have a cleaning routine together to help Diego understand Klaus and trying to be supportive if brusque, but then defending this to his other siblings. Have Luther share some actually positive moments with his other siblings and not just have been in Sloane-hunting solitude, make him always be trying to host awkward family BBQs that the others force (or pretend to force) themselves to go to. Have literally any of the siblings be on the look out or Five's triggers for him - and better yet actually give him some now that he's had time for the PTSD to swell. I want the small nitty gritty details, I want the filling, I want to feel the expanse of time not just 'oh shit another week and there's an apocalypse and we haven't seen each other hey ho oh look a ball pit!'
Anyway, I'm hopeful, but concerned, and I'm sure I'll love it and don't intend to be negative, it just helps me to voice them. Either way, I pray for the fan fiction that follows the series most of all, the rising of the crowd to give us more of what the series does deliver and flesh out what it does not. Is it weird to almost be more excited for that?

Riz is much too tired to defend his friends to his mom but him saying “NOOO mom Kristen does CrossFit now” to explain how he’s not carrying Kristen was so fucking funny

i just think that….
“i don’t think you’re a fraud. i just think that maybe you’re not sure of your own feelings yet… and if there’s something you need to tell eddie… you will. in your own time.”
…..was a super neat thing for her to say.

Dick: So you ever just want someone to hug you? Like, just because they WANT to. They actually care about you and don't have an ulterior motive. And I know a lot of people have aversions to touch, and that's why they don't hug me very hard or at all, but sometimes I just want to be pulled into a bone crushing hug because they CARE about me and not because they're trying to hurt me, or manipulate me, or stop me from escaping. Is that weird?
The justice league (-Bruce), who get physical affection often:
Bruce, who has not hugged Dick in years to not overstep his boundaries:
All his siblings (barring Tim and Damian), who thought he was the most mentally stable:
Tim, who knew something was wrong already but didn't wanna mention it in case of upsetting him:
Damian: ... *Slowly walks up to him and hugs his leg. (He's short)*
Superman: *Flies behind him and pulls him into a bear hug probably strong enough to suffocate someone without Bat-Training™*

Genshin fans: So the archons are going to be only 2 men to 5 women? That's kind of uneven...
Mihoyo: Sorry, it is what it is.
Mihoyo in 4.2, giving Neuvillette his authority over Hydro back and straight-up destroying the very concept of the Hydro archon: SIKE.

RE: Your post on the AU of Jimmy being in the cockpit rather than Curly.
I think that Curly would think that Jimmy was reaping what he had sown, but in a way would feel a twisted sense of relief that Jimmy was brought down by his own actions rather than Curly himself having to be the "executioner" in the situation, so to speak.
With "taking responsibility" and the fix-it mentality that he and Jimmy share being the overarching theme, compounded with Jimmy flat out insinuating that all of his crimes on the Tulpar will be "Curly's tragedy" in that one scene, I think Curly would almost find comfort in the irony that the choice was forcibly taken away from him. Which in itself is messed up, but it might be a bit cathartic. There's an interesting polarizing dynamic within Curly's relationship to his own responsibility in that it's his greatest burden and the thing he, too, avoids the most.
I don't think Curly would find any relief in this actually. While Curly didn't/doesn't like the responsibility he had, he defiantly doesn't avoid it, he just goes about it in a weird way.
A thing I noticed is that its less about taking responsibility with Curly and really what that responsibility meant objectively and then subjectively to Curly. The leniency that he applies to Jimmy also applies a bit to the others as well. He thinks his responsibility is more towards keeping the peace and things in order more than dolling out punishment. He has even more choices to make and responsibilities as he literally has to make sure they survive/ration long enough to be saved. Or figure out how to save them himself. The correct issue with Curly and responsibility is the prioritization in his head. He sees the big picture and prioritizes that. He doesn't notice the little things that he should but it's not a active dismissal, perhaps not even conscious despite how dismissive he seemed. He takes too much responsibility, espcially in regards to Jimmy, and I think this situation is when he realizes that is also a bad thing as he can't "fix" all of his wrongs.
I think he'd regret not making a choice, because in the end this happened because he wouldn't directly choose who to comfort and help. He tried to help both and ended up doing nothing for either and letting Jimmy fuck them all over. In this scenario/au he's thinking about all the times he let Jimmy inadvertently make his choice, and how he chose to let it happen. He regrets all of it and would be so bitter that he was giving his choice up for so long. He chose wrong and it affected everyone. The only thing he'd find cathartic is the fucked up truth it will never happen again, not with Jimmy at least.
But he's not happy he's getting joy from that. I think it's a point not a single character other than Jimmy is depicted at deriving joy from another's pain. Even Swansea is being more sarcastic when he cheers on Curly about crashing the ship and ending his sobriety. He's happy Jimmy was forced to take responsibility, but this? He wanted him to learn a lesson and do something with himself, this is hollow in a way it's just embittering. Jimmy didn't get what he wanted, he can be happy about that but no one else did. This isn't justice or closure for Anya, he's stuck in a place he was so desperate to leave with even more pressure on his shoulders. Daisuke is just a kid and Swansea doesn't deserve this after all his year making himself a better man.
Like in his sections, Curly is preoccupied thinking about all the responsibilities he has, taking on things he shouldn't have to and trying to keep the peace when he doesn't have peace in his own mind.

What did it cost?
Maitimo believed they could win once. Despite enduring the loss of his father, three decades of torture, hanging from Thangorodrim's smoggy cliffside, losing his hand, and losing his kingship, he thought they had a chance.
The best strategy was to wait, he figured. Wear Morgoth out. The Dark Foe rarely sent more than the occasional raiding party out; he must've been scared.
Morgoth had not been scared. He was scouting.
Maeðros wanted to do things the right way. He wasn't the King of Beleriand - there was no true King of Beleriand, no matter what Thingollo claimed while hiding in his halls - or even King of the Noldor, but he desired safety and peace for the Eldar and Atani and Casallië behind his lines. He wished to give them the security he'd grown up with.
They would take down Morgoth, and when they did, his family would have the Silmarils back. The blood and pain of thousands, hundreds of thousands even, would be avenged. His father and grandfather would receive the justice the Valar refused to give.
Then came the Dagor Bragollach.
In a matter of weeks, the Noldor lost nearly everything. His cousins, dead. His uncle, lost. The Bëorians, missing. The Hadorians, fled. His brothers were scattered across Beleriand - he worried for Celegorm and Curufin and Celebrimbor the most, as they could easily end up sandwiched between Doriath and Nan Dungortheb. He couldn't breathe easily until he finally had all six brothers and one nephew accounted for in the spring.
Fingon was king now.
The loss of manpower and land was a devastating blow, and Thingollo refused to provide any sort of aid aside from offering refuge to the Thindar and Laiquendi - many refused to go, for they had grown to love the Noldor who defended them, and Maeðros was touched by their loyalty, if not saddened by their stubborn refusal to leave for safety he could no longer guarantee.
Years passed in a new stalemate with Morgoth, for while the Gap was gone, Himring stood tall. Maeðros did everything in his power to guard the pass to what had once been Himlad - even if Thingollo deserved every orc that reached Doriath, the people outside the Girdle didn't. His once bright optimism faded to a gray haze over his mind.
When he heard of Beren and Lúthien, Maeðros felt hope like he hadn't felt in years. He went to work doing what he did best: strategizing.
More letters leave Himring in the next week than in the last year.
Thingollo and Artaresto refuse to get involved.
"You're as treacherous as your brothers," Artaresto wrote.
"You're a murderer," Thingollo scorned.
Maeðros nearly tore a chunk of hair out in frustration. How myopic could they be? Was this a Teleri trait, to remain unconcerned about events until they directly threatened you? Olwë had been the same, even before the Darkening. Could these kings not see that all of Beleriand was at stake? Could they not see that, if they didn't stand together, they'd fall alone?
.... No matter. Maeðros would make it work. Bór mentioned his sister's husband led a sizable force, and Caranthir had a fondness for Men. Perhaps Caranthir could speak with this ... this Ulfang.
.........
Maeðros could not make it work.
Fingon was dead.
Turgon was gone.
Gil-Galad was too young to rule.
The Noldor were scattered.
Himring was lost. His followers wandered Ossiriand, dwelling among the Laiquendi, but Morgoth's influence only grew. Every month, there was less land, less food.
There was no chance to retrieve the Silmarils.
Maeðros had tried to do the right thing, and it all amounted to nothing.
What did it cost?
Everything.

there is truly a Daffy for every occasion. i've been obsessing over Oklahoma! for the past week and wouldn't you know it, the duck already beat me to the punch. but technically i beat me to the duck beating me to the punch since i was the one who saved this panel months ago with the caption of "Daffy is a fan of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma". turns out it is i who is a fan of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma. i am a fan of Daffy as fan of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma
Tumblr media
i am also a fan of this. and i hope you are too.

As someone who has shoved like five million guys into one plot I think it's funny that I just now realized Paul does have his horny-on-main reputation but also he is the number one Karen stan and he WILL bring his best friend up in every single conversation, failing the reverse Bechdel test.

#they are.#been thinking a lot about t*rusai and k*bosai and all three of them together#(really long rant in these tags that shouldve been a rant post but im not changing it soz i got carried away LMAO->)#see the thing is that k*bosai is my absolute favorite ship ever. but i get genuinely pissed when people smack talk t*rusai#idk like i get why people wouldnt ship kbs and i really dont care. and i also get that a lot of people have differing opinions and-#wont ship trsai. i honestly cant wrap my head around why (other than people who just hate teruhashi and are misogynistic) but im okay with-#agreeing to disagree and i dont care yk??#but people so often make these long discussion posts just yapping and yapping and making up shit about how trsa 'wouldnt work'#and its always just... actual complete bullshit. like unreadable word vomit.#sorry. but its true.#thats why it gets me so mad#i cant think of a single reason why you would feel the need to do that#why cant you be normal and just. not like a ship. just dont like it. hate it even. but dont make up shit just to shit on it#its so dumb i have to force myself to just scroll past them every time i encounter one#usually on tiktok or tumblr#if i read them i wont be able to stop myself from making the most concerned and upset noises ever cuz what is actually wrong with you#theyre always the biggest dumbest stretches ever and they ignore their actual development and pretend it didnt happen#it just makes me wonder why people are so okay with making fun of that ship but get mad if anyone even dislikes theirs#and then they complain about people 'shitting on their opinion'#LIKE ?? NOBODY CARES THAT U HATE THE SHIP. I CERTAINLY DONT GAF.#but ur in the main tags advertising ur hatred for it and sounding stupid as shit for no reason? UR SHITTING ON PEOPLES SHIP ON PURPOSE#AND THEN GETTING MAD AT ANYONE WHO EVEN SAYS 'i disagree actually' IM LAUGHING SO HARD STOP IM KILLING MYSELF#the one time i ever talked in that much detail about why i disliked a ship was bevause somebody specifically asked me#and yk what ?? i have literally gotten death threats over it. im not allowed to hate that ship but everyone else can do whatever i guess#okay sorry. rant over.#is that controversial i cant tell. i dont really care and im not tagging anyway#meows post

Guess Who? Global Series Panthers edition.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
my favourite dynamic for dumb games that don't particularly matter is sore loser who's trying not to be a sore loser and man who acts like winning means he gets the keys to the city rather than just a participation sticker
#eetu luostarinen#niko mikkola#florida panthers#2425#the global series is a gift#if not because we get to make the finns sit down and do dumb stuff for us in the name of patriotism#im sorry pairing mikksy and luosty for content will always be funny#because of the way mikksy tries to downplay the irrational need of needing to completely destroy him (in competition) (but also-)#but also both of them choosing their fellow finns because god forbid they choose anyone else#you two are so predictable#“well ive got a 25% (to win) right now if i guess... (guesses despite the bad odds)”#the inherent need to destroy luosty calls to him because luosty is insufferable when he wins#but has mikksy considered hes worse when HE wins#TOOK THE 25% CHANCE TO BET ON LUOSTY BEING AN EGOISTICAL BASTARD SO WHO LOOKS BAD NOW#on par with “close your eyes for this part. what colour is mikkolas eyes”#[mikksy blocking the side of his face so if luosty cheats he cant win to which luosty doesnt cheat and still loses]#LUOSTY SMKRKING TOO OH HE KNEW#MIKKSY IS SO INSUFFERABLE WHEN HE WINS#THE SHARED LOOK OF GLEE WHEN HE REALISES ITS SASHA#“thats easy! thats too easy!! (sore loser)” “well try mine now (man who is literally set up luosty for success so he doesnt get sulky)”#“i mean... is it mo?” “(laughs of utter disbelief and a little concern)” LUOSTY YOU JUST ASKED THE ARE THEY CANADIAN QUESTION#AND MIKKSY SAID NO. WHAT DO YOU THINK PAUL IS?????#also this most likely being filmed after the “i think mikkola curses at me in finnish” saga MAKES ME CRY LUOSTY STOP TEASING MIKKSY#POOR MAN WAS SWEATING HAVING TO DENY IT AND SAY PAUL WAS JUST BEING FUNNY PLEASEEEE#“almost... lundy 😄” “of course it is” PLEASE#this just in the kitten has teeth now so hes on his way to being paul huh 😭😭😭😭#crying i love these two so much my emotional support finn pair

replaying dragon age inquisition is just an exercise in “the rebel mages would not fucking do that”
#da#my posts#specifically the hostile ones hanging out in the hinterlands for no good reason.#at least they gave the crazy hostile templars a motivation. a really weak one but still. At least they have a goal.#‘kill at mages. don’t gaf about anyone else’ ok. fine.#‘kill everyone you see for some reason. we need to steal their belongings I guess????’ insane. what the hell.#the could have at least done some blood magic about it. it would have been a boring repeat of da2 themes but at least there would be themes?#it’s just so STUPID. especially coming off of a fresh da2 playthrough.#like there’s some dumb stuff in da2 to give you an excuse to fight both mages and templars as generic npcs don’t get me wrong.#but not this much. and unlike da2 you and your companions comment on it as if it makes any sort of sense lol#also I hate that they decided that the chantry explosion killed a bunch of people (which is not supported at all by either the environments#or dialogue of da2 btw. the game is mainly concerned about anders murdering elthina not randos lol)#but that will come in later.#anyway. every note I find in the game from the mages is so insane. just found the area where the templars burned down a house with mages#locked inside. but because both sides have to be bad for dai plot reasons#the mages killed the peasants that lived in the house for damn reason lmao. AFTER robbing them on the road earlier.#insane choices from the writing team on this one.#what were you trying to SAYYYY#like I’m ok with the mages being a bit brutal. that happens in war. but there’s like. reasons? usually?#like as much as orsino turning himself into a flesh beast is insane and weird both-sides-ism plot device.#at least they tried to give him a reason (even if it didn’t make sense in the context of hawke and co absolutely destroying the templars he#was so convinced were going to kill them all)#the hinterlands mages genuinely have no reason to attack random passersby.#ESPECIALLY SINCE IM PLAYING A MAGE.#like?????? hello I am one of you. how the hell do you even know I’m not one of the rebels.#sorry anyway I’m upsetti spaghetti.
