#I’m mourning rn

[thatsrightice]

You know that audio trending a while back going “Huey, Dewey, and Louie? Nononono, their names were supposed to be Jet, Turbo, and Rebel!” And then then one of them is like “I could have been Turbo???? I coULD HAVE BEEN TURBO??!?”

That’s me. Right now. Like literally just right now when I found out we could have had a

CARRIER-BASED

SWEPT-WING

NAVAL VARIANT OF THE

F-22 RAPTOR

J U S T L O O K A T H E R

The US CONGRESS literally went “hey, you should totally do that like we just made that Naval Advanced Tactical Fighter (NAFT) program for you in 1988 so you should def do it.” And in order to make it more appealing, they told the Air Force to evaluate the carrier-based stealth bomber as a potential replacement for their F-111, basically saying the Navy and Air Force would share development costs in theory as both branches could employ both variants or some shit because having an aircraft be multi-role is super appealing.

So thus the NATF-22 was created and very shortly thereafter crumbled up and thrown into the trash by an Admiral Richard Dunleavy as if it were nothing because it was (and I’m using a mocking tone of voice here) too expensive.

And for the record, I see no difference in how the rest of fighter jet history played out, we ended up with a multi-role fighter just as expensive. Like don’t get me wrong, I love the F-35 and it’s quirks like it’s not its fault it was brought up in a society with so much attention on it. The media outreach and coverage in todays world is unprecedented, like no aircraft has been scrutinized or so intensely studied and watched before her.

BUT WE COULD HAVE HAD A TOMCAT RAPTOR DUDE COME ONE

I imagine this program would have been Iceman’s BABY. He may not have been nearly high enough up in the chain at the time to have any knowledge of it let alone say in the matter, but you just know that when he found out what they could have had he was DEVASTATED. Full on, “WE COULD HAVE HAD A TOMCAT?!?!” moment right there. He mourned. He was inconsolable he straight up mourned his Rapcat. Or is it Tomtor?

And when the F-35 program rolled around you know he ain’t letting that happen again, with or without swept wings. He’s getting his F-35C.

the whiplash of spending the last two years seeing everyone talk about s4 mike being a mini eddie and following in eddie’s footsteps and being inspired by him (which are all true and real) just to be shot point blank by st5 pics of mike with short hair and a dorky little outfit and dustin with eddie’s haircut and outfit and rings instead. i’m fine i swear

[sinfully02slow]

Out of my element here but

Appreciation post for those orv fans that dissect the story, analyze scenes, share their theories and perspectives here on Tumblr

It’s really cool to see how orv looks from your guys’s perspectives and realizing what some scenes meant

Heck, I believed Kdj’s narrative during the webnovel until the fandom woke me up and handed me depression word soup :)

Personally I can’t really put into words what I think and feel- being able to come across posts where it’s put into words just makes my day

Seeing the orv fandom share endless commentaries of the story, their reactions, alternate universe takes, theories and fanart- it all makes it feel like orv never really ended

But yeah, thank you

(Sorry if the post looked long, I didn’t like how the sentences touched, it looked too squished)

There is no pain like going back to a fic and discovering it’s been deleted or privated

[agathasblackheart]

Still not over the pain. I’m literally unable to consume agathario content without thinking about what was done to them. I can’t enjoy it as much as I did because I just see the wasted potential but also the finale is so fresh and it still hurts like hell. I feel like eventually I’ll be able to separate how they ended from what they could have been but it’s hard right now. I just wish we could’ve gotten to see their full potential

[professorjirt]

*grinds my teeth together and pretends to be normal about people reducing Bilbo taking Frodo in to simply a Bagginshield thing with zero regard to Frodo as a character save how he can be compared to Thorin or Bilbo and zero regard for the deeper reasons why Bilbo might have been compelled to take in a young hobbit at that stage in his life*

[joudama]

So that’s now Busche, Epler, and Weekes who are all out at BioWare. And BioWare is switching to a one game at a time development cycle. And Mass Effect is realistically only in preproduction, so it’s at least five years away.

…I think it’s time to accept that Dragon Age is over. We’re not getting another game. At least, not one made by BioWare.

Edit: BOTH Weekes are out.

SEVENTY TWO DEGREES IM GONNA KMS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[gaytedlasso]

I’m gonna need someone to hire Misha to play a villain again STAT

[tomwambsmilk]

There’s a particularly type of post which keeps crossing my dash that goes “I don’t think we talk enough about [insert extremely surface level analysis of a piece of media here]”. Yeah the reason we don’t talk much about it is because it’s kind of obvious and there’s. Not actually much to say about it if you have more than a 3rd grade level of lit analysis skills. Anyways-

i am both an apple defender and an apple hater

i contain multitudes ok

[luwuley]

I just, I hate when writers do this to characters in their last seasons! This will be the lasting taste in everyone’s mouth, bitter and unsettling!

I’ve seen gorgeous thoughts, thinkpieces, and idea about five over the last seasons exploring his complexities and the tragedy of his character with the hope for him and his family. And now anything from now on will have the asterisk of “fuck season 4” or worse, defending it. Like thanks for all those years of development, I’m glad it means nothing!!

Why stain a character in this way? It happened to Allison last season but at least the show didn’t end with her like that. It’s so frustrating!! They massacred my son!!
