obligatory TW rewatch scott appreciation post bc he's so interesting and fun as a character

i genuinely adore how the writers gave scott such a loving personality? like his first instinct when he meets allison is to give her a pen because he heard that she needed one. he tags along with stiles ep 1 because stiles wanted to see the body (why would an asthmatic with school in the morning want to go traipsing out into the wilderness to see a dead body??). throughout the series he takes in strays (lol) even if they've ACTIVELY TRIED TO KILL HIM in the past. and the part that i love the most is how the writers gave him room to be a bad person, too. they gave him moments where he was a bad friend, a bad boyfriend. but they didn't make those moments ones that outshone his real personality. they were treated like moments he grew from and made him into an even kinder person.

scott doesn't get the love he deserves imo he's such a well written character and someone i strive to emulate

Lighter praising (or showing affection) and telling reader that he’s veryy proud of reader who has daddy issues (aka me) </3 (make it a bitt angsty bcs yes)

with that voice of his…. oh i’m not sure if he knows his power. also i am SO SORRY if i messed this one up because i’m bad at writing T_T also this reads weird if i dont clarify that its an established relationship between lighter x reader

not everyone has a good relationship with their family. especially after the fall of the Old Capital, many had lost their family and caused a rift between their still alive relatives. your day to day life hadn’t changed much but it was difficult for your family to get accustomed to the new life.

with that came many challenges; your parents working more to sustain themselves, their expectations for you as their child to pursue higher aspirations. the outer ring wasn’t where they wanted you to stay for the rest of your life, new eridu is a much better option for your future. days go by, stress piling up, nightly arguments at the dining table about how you should spend less time with the sons of calydon.

you never really brought it up to the other members. you knew they’d comfort you, considering they all had troubles in their past, but it’s not like you want to bring down the mood all of a sudden. on one particular night though, you had noticed lighter sneaking away from the rest of the group. you thought you could follow him but he was a lot more alert than that.

“wanna get some air for a bit? the girls are still talking so its all good.” lighter handed you a lollipop as he began to unwrap one for himself. there was an empty area far enough from everyone that had a perfect view of the night sky. no clouds in sight, just the twinkling stars and the bright full moon. lighter sat down first, sweeping away any dust before patting the space next to him. as you sat down, you began to ponder about your life. you hung out less and less with the sons of calydon since your parents, more specifically your father, wanted you to work harder. even if you had brought home some extra tips from cheesetopia, or helped out around blazewood, it seemed as though your efforts weren’t being appreciated and instead all he had to say were insults.

in the corner of his eye, lighter noticed you staring off into the far distance. he scooched over a little closer to you, maybe he’d be able to see what you were seeing. “something caught your eye?” his deep voice cut through your train of thought, making you blink at him in confusion. “oh uh… just thinking.” you mumbled, finally unwrapping your lollipop and popping it into your mouth.

“something happened recently, right? you leave earlier than usual lately.” you forget how perceptive lighter was, always noticing before others. “not recent but…” you ran your hand through your hair, feeling frustrated at how you couldn’t even enjoy such a quiet and beautiful night. after a moment of silence, you finally spoke up.

“it’s just, my dad. you know how it is out here in the outer ring. they want me to move out to new eridu but i can’t just leave. i have you and- and the girls…. they just want so much from me…” your voice trembled as you let your emotions flow out of you. your bottled up feelings finally overflowing as tears began to well up in your eyes. in between the soft cries, you felt lighter’s hand on your shoulder, rubbing you to help you let it all out.

“don’t let that old man tell you what to do. you’re doing a lot already. everyone in blazewood can tell you the same,” he spoke quietly but noticed how you seemed to still be trapped in your own thoughts. he placed both hands on your shoulders and turned you towards him. “hey, hey. listen to me. you’re wonderful and we all appreciate what you do around here. your dad knows nothing about you. we know you, i know you, and i’m proud of all that you’ve done.” lighter’s voice turned more serious, yet still carried a hint of softness to it.

he removed his sunglasses, exhaling as he looked down at you. “home is where the heart is. right now, where is your heart? hmm?” he asked quietly, moving his hands down to cup yours. “here. blazewood. i want to stay with all of you.” your sniffling was shattering his heart, trying to cheer you up but also afraid of saying the wrong things. he brought up one of his hands to the side of your face, gently wiping away your tears.

“then stay with us. i’ll talk to him, alright? just between us, i won’t tell the rest.” his voice was warm, similar to that of a fire on a cold night. he pulled you closer into his arms, hushing you while reassuring you. lines of “it’s alright” and “i’m here” came out of him naturally as you gripped onto his jacket. a moment of vulnerability, a moment of sadness, a moment away from keeping up appearances. you didn’t have to pretend, you couldn’t pretend anymore and lighter could see that. soft pats, gentle kisses on the top of your head, he just wanted to make you feel safe and loved after having your feelings constantly dismissed.

Apparently in my absence this post had its 1000-notes-iversary.

This time we get to see the culprit responsible for ruining our heroes' lives as well.

I've really missed you guys, by the way. I know I've said that already, but I'm serious. Once or twice this year I've been right on the brink of coming back but schedule stuff always keeps me from letting myself commit to that again, and that in turn has kept me from posting anything at all. But I've been in an unexpected drawing mood lately and so if I can get enough stuff to set up a queue we might pretend I'm back for a month or so sometime this year. Maybe. Hopefully. We'll see. No promises though. That's why I'm hiding this paragraph under the cut.

Some people like Keiko's non-canon anime scenes because she got more involved in Chapter Black arc but I hate it. All filler scenes with Keiko in the anime were unnecessary and out of character. The worst one was when she bitched about being Yusuke's caretaker in school AFTER YUSUKE DIED. This is the equivalent scene in the manga where she didn't say anything like that at all.

Between Yusuke dying and all of them coming back to school, Yusuke and Keiko had not met once. So it makes more sense that she looks like this in the manga. She's worried as hell but not drawing on paper about it like an idiot or fainting so often like she had anemia.

In manga canon, she only knew Yusuke became a demon after they finally talked. And then after that, he was telling her "hey I'm going back to the demon world by the way."

It's possible Yusuke's explanation to Keiko about turning demon was not even complete. The explanation scene in both anime and manga was very short but at least in the manga, Keiko had not known Yusuke had died again because all she saw was Puu turning giant. Her reaction to everything that followed, her being calm about Yusuke turning demon, made more sense if she just didn't know he died again. And she was only worried about him getting lost in the demon world and may not be coming back. This is possible because Yusuke lied to Atsuko too about going to America and he omitted some things actually when explaining to Keiko like when he said he'll come back, actually he wasn't sure about that because the methods he could use were illegal and reikai will not help him again as far as he knew at that point. Yusuke could have lied by omission. Keiko's reactions made more sense if you think of them like that. She didn't know he died again and she was only worried that Yusuke will not come back after turning demon.

Either way, Keiko had never discarded Yusuke or complained about looking after him. And when she worries over him, she does not scribble on her notebook like a moron or faint for no reason. She also does not senselessly follow Yusuke around to be a burden on him like she did in the anime filler scenes of Chapter Black arc. In the manga, when she was worried because she saw Yusuke's apartment on fire from the television, she visited Atsuko instead of going to the hospital with the evil doctor. Manga Keiko is smarter than anime Keiko and lives up to her smart girl reputation.

I think Jason, as Robin, was gearing up to be the perfect successor for Batman.

Not a good or better Batman, to be clear. Just a continuation. A copy

Jason as Robin easily accepted the potential of the mantle, to him Robin becoming Batman was simply how things worked. And reading his comics makes it clear that Jason as a vigilante acts like Batman does. They do the same things. Jason's violence or anger is never that far from Batman's own actions. You've heard of the Garzonas case, but people rarely mention how just an issue before in the dc comics that Batman accidentally killed a man with diplomatic immunity by having him fall

sorry ive got more spideryapping to do i gotta get it out of my system

IDW1 must take place on an alternate Earth where no one has ever heard of ACAB and everyone wears "thin blue line" merchandise because there's literally no other way that a single Autobot killing a USAmerican cop in self defense would be such worldwide news that even Mexican journalists would go "OMG???? You like, killed a cop?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?" and it wasn't even framed as like, "you killed a human," the phrasing every time any character talked about it was very specifically "he killed a cop".

The cop was also threatening to shoot a group of surrendering/not-attacking/injured Autobots btw which is just the icing on the cake honestly lmao

its kind of funny that ppl are talking like Literally Everyone is Actually saying or implying they would rather have the ice king than simon that. seems like an exaggeration. the only people who say anything of the sort are astrid, who wasn’t even born yet while simon was still ice king and just thinks of him as “cool wizard” and “wrote some fun books”, and fionna & cake, who have seen approximately 10 seconds of ice king in a moment where he’s not doing particularly bad, and who have only interacted with simon at literally the lowest point of his entire life so far. what finn & tv say in ep2 reads as them hearing the conversation and assuming its more along the lines of “simon being embarrassed by work he thinks is bad” than “simon trying to avoid this thing because it is associated with a traumatic part of his life”. and prismo is just like. a little peeved that he can’t access or control his own creation anymore. Like, the Points people are generally trying to make when they bring this up are not without merit, and you could say that’s the message simon got from the last couple of days but. unless i forgot something there is absolutely 0 indication of any person who met ice king saying anything that remotely actually implies they enjoyed having ice king around more than simon. we just have a handful of people saying they happen to like One Thing ice king did. the people of ooo did not undergo a wave of selective amnesia about the ice king

Just logged in today to see the changes Quotev is making and what the actual fuck do the mods think they're doing??

I went in to message my beta reader and suddenly they're saying the priv message function is going to go in July? And they're getting rid of groups and activity feeds? Wtf. They're literally nuking their own site for no fucking reason

I know this probably won't reach a lot of people, but here's a petition to sign and spread that'll hopefully get through the mod's thick heads: https://chng.it/RKGGcfyd2s

Now that the writer’s strike is a thing, can we start talking about how poorly people treat writers in fandom spaces? And I’m not talking about fanfiction writers (though believe me, they get treated poorly too), but professional writers.

Over the years of being in fandom, I’ve seen a lot of truly unhinged fans go on wild conspiracy theories about how writer xyz is a truly horrible person. This is despite the fact that fans don’t know anything about writer xyz except the fact that he wrote their least favorite episode of a kids show. Or how all the writers on their favorite show were shit and purposefully ruined the show and the tumblr users in the fandom could do so much better. 

A lot of times, there will be the Scapegoat Writer who is mysteriously responsible for every single problem on their favorite show, despite tv shows being a huge collaborative effort. The Scapegoat Writer (often a showrunner) will be the brunt of a lot of hate from fans who know nothing about them. Let’s use Rebecca Sugar as an example of how people accused her of unbelievably horrific things because they didn’t like the direction she took their favorite kids show.

On the flipside, there’s also the One True Writer that is actually the only person responsible for everything good in the show. The One True Writer can do nothing wrong, is worshipped by fans, and is credited for everything. This is despite shows being a collaborative effort, as I said earlier. Don’t forget the part where fans of said show constantly compare every other tv show writer to the One True Writer that they decided to worship.

Idk man, I just think it’s insulting to blame or credit one person for everything good or bad in a collaborative piece of media. Especially when you start to understand not only how difficult writing is in a professional setting, but also how poorly writers are paid. People don’t never blame executive meddling for poor writing decisions. Instead, they blame a writer who is struggling paycheck to paycheck trying to find the next gig because they committed the “horrible” crime of making a bad writing decision. 

This isn’t to say that people shouldn’t criticize their favorite shows for bad writing. Criticize it all you want. But I do think that harassing specific people or only crediting one person for making a show is terrible. More often than not, media is nuanced. And making poor writing decisions isn’t a crime; certainly, no one deserves to be harassed over that.

this has to be a metaphor. for something
