#I think the parallels in this would be insane

[glitterarygetsit]

OKAY so last night as I was falling asleep I was thinking about Them (buddie) and the trailer for the new ep with the unconscious firefighter hanging from a ladder, right? And I thought okay, This Is Happening, they’re giving us buddie’s greatest hits. We’ve just had the well callback, and this is a parallel to the lightning episode.

So what comes next? Obviously the tsunami—I think this should happen when they go on a road trip to get Christopher (which I think has been hinted at already). (ETA: I don’t know what weather they have in Texas. Flooding? Dam breaking?) But if I were writing it, this time it would be Eddie saving Christopher (demonstrating his worth as a dad to his parents and Christopher) and Buck going insane trying to find them, and also having some Realisations about who he’s in love with and who his family is. Going to Texas also provides the opportunity for Buck to go “hey last time we were here someone clocked me as bi before I even knew, crazy huh” and open up a conversation about being aware of your queerness.

So that gets Christopher back to LA. and then. we know what comes next.

🎯 🔫🔥 SNIPER 🔥🔫 🎯

only THIS time

BUCK is the one who gets shot

and on the way to the hospital with Eddie panicking because Buck looks like he’s not going to make it… Buck, barely lucid, tells Eddie he loves him.

and then flatlines.

obvs they get him into the hospital in time, but cue combined sexuality freak-out AND The Man I Love (Maybe Romantically Who Knows) Might Die for Eddie 😌

and then when Buck wakes up he either doesn’t remember or pretends not to but Eddie KNOWS and then we can work our way towards them getting together. Possibly Christopher will have some kind of “oh my god why won’t you just tell him you love him” outburst.

anyway that’s just my two cents. they’ve GOT to know what they’re doing. there’s a plan here. and this is how I would write it. Could take another two series but. canon buddie is SO happening (possibly with ace/demi Eddie which I would love for the complete wasteland of ace representation in the current media landscape)

31DOD Day 28

Dick had adopted Jason Todd instead of Bruce?

I think we would end up with a situation very similar to Bruce and Jason in their early days except Dick would have Alfred and Bruce hanging over his head. I think Dick probably beat Bruce to the adoption and Bruce is super jealous. This causes Bruce to become some sort of rich uncle/grandpa that spoils Jason in an attempt to be the favorite. Alfred remains a steady presence and helps dick out like he always does (but the whole situation gives Alfie the worst deja vu in the world. constantly.)

Since this comes from the time when Jason was still a redheaded circus acrobat, I think the amount of flips would double in the most fun way. Dick would be an awesome mentor when it comes to the physical stuff. He has always been shown to love teaching and I think Jason would flourish under his tutelage.

I'm torn on whether or not Jason would die in this reality. I don't think his death would have the same impact or narrative appeal if he isn't robin under bruce as batman. I think it is more likely for Dick and Jason to go through some sort of break up like Dick and Bruce did. During this time it is still highly likely he would undergo the same training. Dick and Bruce would fight about method and what is the proper way to do things. Jason probably has a lot of the same feelings and I think he would still feel the same way about killing as Red Hood does in canon. Funnily enough, I think this would make him more similar to Bruce than Dick.

What is really tragic in this reality is when Jason outgrows Dick. Dick was not prepared for it.

mel mellohiizz............ can i beg for uu!parrot and uu!clownpierce art

i love the parallels between them, it's so fun to think about

[legendoftherisingtide]

it has occurred to me that there hasn’t been a kiss in the entirety of the bnha series.

now can you imagine,, if the only one in the entire series,,, is a gay one.

[nadaonastic]

it’s called “ever since we met” and it shows him fighting alone and being alone, but then changes to them fighting together and being together

“Ever since we met” he hasn’t been alone

i'm having so much fun with the new tmagp characters (and i will miss them dearly until april 11th) (side note: patreon members get access on my sisters birthday which is pretty cool) and i don't want to compare them to the tma characters because they are unique and different in MANY ways, i just also notice some parallels

gwen is very similar to jon, she has had a somewhat skeptic attitude but has now clearly been exposed to the horrors (bonzo..) and she's also climbing the corporate ladder if you will. she runs the place, she's grumpy, and i think she's closer to becoming an avatar than any of the others (even sam) (see my other post about it if youd like) (idk how to link it on mobile sorry)

alice and tim are kinda obvious, both comedic with younger brothers and are very susceptible to romantic feelings (sasha/sam). there was a lot more going on with tim and we haven't seen much of that side of alice, so i'm really excited to learn about her backstory and/or traumas. less excited about what that might to do her but yk.. yk..

sam/sasha is the most interesting one to me. sam is curious like sasha was. sasha wanted to know which made her archivist potential in everyone's eyes. sam also wants to know, he'd make a great archivist. except he's not cautious, he's like sasha if she had never worked in the artifact storage. i think sasha's strength was what she had already experienced and what she knew, but she didn't know enough and ultimately that got her killed. sam is going to keep learning until he does know enough, but he doesn't have that prior knowledge to stop him from going too far. very interesting characters from both of them

celia and martin i guess? celia's different since she's not exactly from tmagp

lena and elias because creepy murder boss

and finally colin and gertrude which is kind of insane of me to say but hear me out. gertrude cut out the eyes of book covers and magazines and everything in her home. she was incredibly paranoid she just was also a boss ass bitch about it. i think younger gertrude must've been a lot like colin, but she figured it out quicker and realized what she needed to do to survive. she asked the right questions and took the right precautions. she had the archive full of knowledge. colin doesn't have the archive, he's messing with the wrong thing and he's taking every precaution and hurting himself and those around him (sam's phone specifically comes to mind). i think gertrude was like colin but she had the right resources to get through it

idk all of these are very interesting and it makes me worry a bit, but ofc every character is unique and has aspects to them that change their stories. they're probably still gonna die though, we know jonny sims loves killing characters ☹️

Transcript:

Murph: And um, I will say now that Foster sees that Swag is kind of on the same side as Sol-- Caldwell: Yeah. Murph: He extends his radius to include Swag. And you see Swag glows with this red glow of Foster. Sol (Caldwell): Feels good, doesn't it? Swag (Murph): Yeah, it's like-- Sol: It's like a pillow on the inside. Sol: Aw, yeah, that's the stuff. Murph: As you look up at the clouds relaxing, you feel someone floating next to you, and you hear a familiar voice go-- Swag: Yeah. Feels good, doesn't it, bud? Sol: Oh, yeah, this is really-- this is really something. We gotta do this more often. W-- Swag?

Ryne and Gaia are like. Such good parallels and foils to each other it makes me just a little insane.

Like Ryne is sweet and caring and she always wants to help others and make them feel better even to the detriment of herself because she has seen and known suffering and doesn't want others to have to live like that too. If she can make someones life better, even if just a little bit, then she will. But she also puts everyone elses well-being and feelings so far above her own that she often ends up trying to help in a way that doesn't actually solve anything because it still ends up with someone hurt (such as trying to properly fuse with Minfilia knowing it might end up with herself disappearing). She's not a doormat, but she does have some people-pleasing tendencies.

Gaia, however, is the exact opposite. She's prickly and sarcastic and thinks of herself and her needs first and foremost, everyone else is secondary. It's not that she's cold or uncaring, she doesn't ignore people's problems, she just doesn't see them as her business most of the time (A product of being raised in Eulemore most likely). She doesn't consider the long-term outcome of what she does or says, she lives solely in the present and the future is a problem for when it happens.

These opposite traits also play into each other. Ryne inspires Gaia to care more about others and Gaia inspires Ryne to prioritize herself more. Gaia makes Ryne live more on the moment without thinking solely of what the future will bring, and Ryne makes Gaia think more on what her life will be going forward and to actually consider what she does and says and how that affects things. They feed into each others good traits (Ryne's caring nature and Gaia's sense of self) while also helping them deal with the bad traits (Ryne's people-pleasing and Gaia's aloofness).

Their pasts are good paralells too. Ryne was isolated and lonely until Thancred took her away but even then, he was distant and emotionally neglectful, so she ended up lonely in an entirely different way. Gaia had a family and caretakers that she wasn't particularly close to, but after the 'Fairy' started talking to her they got even further away until she couldn't even remember them, and the 'Fairy' was the closest thing she had to a friend even though it was what isolated her to begin with. Ryne had constant companionship but no support, and Gaia had 'support' but no companionship.

Even just. Regarding the whole identities thing they are just. Perfect. Ryne has lived with Minfilia's shadow on her shoulder her entire life and never got to learn who she actually is. She thought that she had to become Minfilia for her life to be worth anything, that it's the only way her existance is justified. The person closest to both her and Minfilia(Thancred) indicated(in her mind at least) that he wanted Minfilia to be here in Ryne's stead(which wasn't really the case but she didn't know that). The only way to get her out of that shadow was to remove her from the identity of Minfilia, hence why her new name is so important(as well as the hair and eyes being her natural colors instead of Minfilia's all too recognizable ones).

But Gaia didn't even know about Mitron or Loghrif until Eden. She had the 'Fairy', but to her it was just some voice in her head which was nice enough to her. To her, Loghrif is just some lady Mitron loved, she has no real connection to her. She has a connection to Mitron, both as the 'Fairy' and as remnant feelings from Loghrif, but none to Loghrif herself(aside from the obvious reincarnation stuff). Gaia has always been her name. It may have been Loghrif's originally, but she is so far removed from that identity that even for all of Mitron's effort to 'return' her to Loghrif, it'd never work. Loghrif is Gaia, but Gaia is not Loghrif. Simple as that.

Eden's story works so well because Ryne and Gaia are opposites in that specific way that compliments each other, rather than pits them against each other.

I was reading back over the "better world" section of journal 3 and am now absolutely convinced that this alternate reality is either a dystopia or doomed to become one

It's practically a thesis of Ford's character that he should not, under any circumstances, be allowed to accomplish his personal goals. His research, the portal, his desire to be worshiped as a paragon of intellect, even his one man quest to kill Bill would have resulted in a bad end for the rest of the characters if he actually succeeded at any of them. So a world where he was able to push Stan aside, bypass any of his necessary character development, and power up a working version of his most dangerous, grandiose, and idiotically conceived project? Bad news all around.

We only see about 3 pages of this dimension and Ford's in full rose tinted glasses mode the whole time, but in those 3 pages we learn that Parallel Ford and McGucket managed to casually destroy an entire dimension. Oopsies!!

And after that, as far as we can tell the info we're given, they're still using the portal. Their own scientific hubris, which is Ford's biggest flaw and the thing that caused like all of his problems, destroyed an entire reality and our Ford skims right over that. In the very next paragraph he mourns the fact that he can't stay in this perfect dimension and live out his dreams. What's the wanton destruction of an infinite number of nameless randos in the name of SCIENCE and EGO?!

These are necessary stumbling blocks when attaining success!

Ford is very obviously too blinded by his own ego to see that tampering with alternate dimensions to boost your own social cred is a bad idea whether he does it or Bill does it, but I'd give this dimension a few years tops before Parallel Ford either blows the entire thing up or crowns himself as scientific dictator supreme

sorry i know i keep saying this but it's just so funny to me how puentalay and phumpeem are the two ships that make me insane

apparently the dynamic that sends me straight to the psych ward is: clowns who take ages to admit that they like each other and even when they do and spend most of the episodes kissing and possibly fucking nasty they still won't become boyfriends until the very end. one of them also has to be the loneliest saddest and yet horniest poor little meow meow to ever exist while the other has to be the kindest boy with a big passion and even a bigger heart who likes to tease his partner by denying himself to him

last but not least. they have to give me an agenda that makes me climb the walls of my apartment just thinking about it (hashtag puen loves to eat talay out hashtag bottom phum)

truly eye opening absolutely no notes

horror's jacket fluff has probably accumulated so much DISGUSTINGNESS over 7 years in it that it's managed to acquire it's own signature Dog Smell (TM). however i think this would be a prime opportunity to pet him and then get some of that disgusting smell on you because for some reasons Dog Smell is just unavoidable when you pet a dog with a lot of hair

he'd hate it but awww awww whos a good boy (ﾉ´∀｀*) whos a good boy (*≧∪≦) YOU ARE!!! awww so cute you didn't commit all those murders against innocent people you were innocent (￣▽￣)／ such a good boy!!!! (gets beheaded) (he got too embarrassed)

hi i just wanted to let you know that a popular uquiz exists that s something like "what are you the god of?" and the first 3 questions are like those in your patron sait uquiz. i don t actually know which came first but i ll assume yours. i suppose it could be coincidence or maybe they re popular uquiz question and idk about that. https://uquiz.com/quiz/EDCZbp/what-are-you-the-god-of

haha! whoa! um! yeah! those are my questions for sure! i don't know which one came first either and i would like to give the benefit of the doubt since i only posted mine a couple weeks ago but. you're right. i do not think that starting the quiz off asking the user how they react to a dying bird with the same three poetic options is a particularly popular uquiz convention. everything's changed just slightly but it's giving "copy my homework but don't make it obvious that you copied it"... i left a little note in the free response section in case they read those saying that it's fine for them to use my questions as inspo but i'd like them to credit me if they do. not mad just disappointed... the quiz description saying "Sorry I talk like I own a poetry blog on Tumblr I this lmao I just like feeling fancy" kinda got me though. yeah man i bet the questions you got from a guy who linked his poetry blog on tumblr sound like they're from someone who owns a poetry blog on tumblr dot com. i would love to invite you to come and feel fancy in this beautiful world with me man you just gotta credit the aforementioned poetry blog on tumblr...
