we need to make suggesting someone skip the first three seasons of mash as taboo as suggesting someone skip the ninth doctor
#killing biting maiming etc#if they're not your thing fine. whatever. you're wrong but it's fine#but if nothing else you're depriving new viewers of vital context that makes later emotional arcs more impactful#like. why should you give a shit about the first ten minutes of welcome to korea if you don't know who trapper is#hell you wouldn't know who hawkeye is!! the first episode is first for a reason it's there to introduce you to the characters + setting#or even the season 2 opener would be a better place to start since that's just the pilot done better#i won't pretend the early seasons are perfect but saying mash got good after season 3 is. well frankly it's stupid#this debate has been done to death but sometimes i'll see a take and go hang on did we watch the same show or do you just not get satire or#mash#my posts

STUPID SHIP MEME DRAWINGS.
I just think they should kiss maybe?
Obsessed (positive??) with the dynamic of guy who betrays his country so he can run off with the militia he's been working with because he gets a case of loyalty feelings so bad he goes and blows himself up X morally upstanding traumatic backstory woman having the worst fucking time of her life (again) who really just needs someone to be as fanatically loyal as possible to her, as a person who is really into the inherent eroticism of the hierarchical military power dynamic focus on loyalty and the use of "yes ma'am" as I love you.
Obsessed (negative) with the propaganda implications that we seem to have ignored of the fact that the three most important people in an arabic woman's life are 2 (two) white guys and her brother, who betrays her and becomes a villain in the later games, and the fucking insidious-ass narrative choice of placing one of said white guys in said militia as like, the tacit fact that this organization is ok only because the western white guys are cool with it. Stop introducing more ULF people just to kill them!!! I SEE YOU WRITERS!!! YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME!!!!!!
because, once again, the character dynamic? I am sick for it. He dropped a building on himself for her and then came back???? He came back???? He could have gone anywhere but he came back to her???? I'm unwell. I think I have covid. I need to go lie down.
Anyway my city now my characters now smashing them together like barbies watching that .gif of them staring at each other eighty times reading all the fanfiction goodbye
you shouldn't blow yourself up in the furnace I want to blow myself up in the furnace for you as my own personal choice and you should order me to do it because you're such a good leader what is wrong with youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh *gnaws on furniture*
WE DON'T EVEN GET TO SEE HIM COME BACK TO HER. THANK YOU FIC WRITERS YOU KNOW THAT REUNION MUST BE SO ANGST THE COMPLEX DYNAMIC OF SACRIFICING YOURSELF FOR SOMEONE AND MAKING IT OUT AND BACK TO THEM AGAIN!!!!!!! THE GUILT! THE YEARNING! THE LOYALTY! I AM GOING TO EXPLODE.
#faralex#tailor made in a lab to make me specifically crazy#fucking immaculate dog loyalty commander x subordinate dynamic marred by REAL LIFE POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS#especially funny since she keeps being like “I am not your CO” “you do not have to take orders from me”#while alex is like “HOW HIGH DO YOU WANT ME TO JUMP COMMANDER FARAH BABY PLEASE ur so sexy tell me how strong ur moral backbone is hahahaha#biting and maiming the call of duty writers#the dragoon diaries#farah karim#alex keller#farah karim my wife farah karim I love you so much as a character why do they keep doing you dirty#local woman desperately in need of a display of unconditional loyalty receives random american man who will die for her no questions asked#foreign man with moral code like a dead fish (CIA operative for six years) suddenly develops spine (Farah Karim)#Alex is cute but YOU KNOW THAT MAN IS A WAR CRIMINAL BIGTIME#call of duty#call of duty modern warfare 2019#art#dragoon draws#long post

who took a picture of my ts ocs
#atropos' design is still somewhat incomplete because there are details i want to add#but for the most part their arms and legs are the ones sporting armor (and decadent ones at that)#because their only worth is the part of them that can partake in action. that can kill and chase and maim and just Do#you wouldn't keep an old hound around in a world like this out of pure sentiment - no. it does its job well#and you'll run it's snout into the ground before you lay it to rest#and they don't have armor on their viral organs because they simply do not care if they die. in fact - if there's anything strong enough to#even NICK their vulnerable body parts? they'll count that as a luxury. better to die a soldier's death than to die discarded#alas... no one or thing has been strong enough to truly challenge their lax approach. yet#lachesis is decadent to the max - they sport jewelery of all types. they are gold and ivory. they are glory in every detail#because its human geniusry they're wearing. and they can only bathe in it as an untalented curator indulges in a gallery of masterpieces#maybe if they shroud themself in enough detail then you'll miss the rot in their sclera and hands. the unblinking smile#the 2 faces beneath their veil#clotho is supposed to be a LOT more gaunt than i draw them im still trying to figure them out#as in. they're literally just skin and bones and rot. all their flesh melted off#they swindle themself in simple cloth to portray themself as assuming and innocent#as trustworthy and pure. to hide the sharp edges beneath linen#they take such strong inspiration from a character inspired by plague doctors despite being an obstetrician#they save lives. in every way of the word. they midwife to birthing mothers and they expel sickness and disease#and they bring your dying self back from the dead. not truly. not wholly. but still - you still serve some use.#theirs is not the sanctity of life. but rather the utility of it

My biggest issue in Epic the Musical is Odysseus, actually. In this essay, I will....
#good god I hate his (lack of) character arc#if you want me to believe he is a monster then he gotta be consistently!!!! monstrous!!!#but no he is constantly allowed to be a poor pissbaby because portraying him as anything *gasp* morally dubious is bad#idk i don't know anything about the og myths but to me Epic's Odysseus bounces around between moods far too fast but he is always allowed t#reset back into what he has been from the start#none of his angst feels earned at any point because basically all the “bad choices” he's been put into have been outside of his control#except maiming the sirens and sacrificing people to scylla#which feel so out of character at that point to me because the next song he's whining to Zeus to not make him choose between him and his me#bitch if you were willing to sacrifice them two seconds ago why not now#why not have odysseus be the one to suggest sacrificing his men instead of him to show how far he is actually willing to go#but noooo his hand needs to be forced because???#at that point in the musical I feel like he should've been far more cruel so the Ithaca saga will actually feel like something#gives this man some agency to be a fucked up guy by himself. please.#it would've made the poseidon fight even more satisfying. he's capable because he has grown so cold. but no#idk maybe I'm missing the point but ugh#I saw a great comment unrelated to this that was like#“if you aren't comfortable with dark implications in your stories then don't write dark stories”#which I feel like applies here so well#epic the musical critical

god knows i love 7x04 a lot and i know the writing/production had extra issues this year because of the strikes but what was the thinking process behind putting that athena and harry storyline as the B-plot to buck discovering he's bi like????
#first of all it's such a serious topic to be b plot and not addressed again in the season#but also the “not recognizing your son” thing they tried to go with just didnt work#idk i would just sprinkle in some calls with like people discovering/accepting something about themselves#or incidents caused by jealousy till they all build up to buck maiming eddie#i know with the short season they wanted to make sure every main character got their own limelight but i dunno man i think athena had enoug#with both the cruise ship arc and the finale they could let the b plot of that story just be interesting calls and 118 being 118 as buck is#bubbling dangerously in a corner#anyway going to bed#mimi.txt#911

You know, as much as I loved Yellowstone seasons 1-3, and most of 4, I am so, so happy I never bothered with season 5.
From the news headers Google keeps trying to push on me, it looks like the whole series is headed for the train station.
#there was a hilarious amount of kerfuffle in the horse world#when the characters that are supposedly written by a real life cowboy#do something so WRONG that literally every horse person I follow the next day had something posted about DO NOT DO THE THING#YOU WILL KILL YOUR HORSE OR VERY SERIOUSLY MAIM IT#And now I find that they're also fucking up the people story lines#Like Costner bailed at just the right time#they've killed Colby for literally no reason though I'm pretty sure he's the only black guy there#Beth is still alive and that's it's own crime#Kayce's storyline has derailed doing who the fuck knows#Yeah...glad I bailed when I did too#yellowstone#yellowstone paramount#dutton ranch

okay so I know 7x04 is from Buck's POV, so the characters are a little off to reflect Buck's feelings and perceptions. But rewatching it today, why did it feel like Eddie was the only one that was vastly different from his normal self? To the point it was a little disorienting. Even some of the line delivery (like the trivia/babysitting thing) were not how Eddie typically delivers things. Like yeah I get that everyone is a little different in Buck's mind, but the more I watch it, the more I realize that Eddie's character shifts more as the episode goes on and Buck sinks deeper in his jealousy. And while the episode focused on Buck, Buck is focused on Eddie. So it felt like the obvious differences to his usual mannerisms were highlighted.
#eddie diaz#911 abc#just thinking thoughts#really though it was kinda wild how different eddie felt in this one compared to any other character#even the emergencies for this one kept the team pretty separated#ravi felt normal#chim felt normal#maddie felt normal#don't know that other guy yet#so can't say much about him#but eddie was just wild af the whole time#my favorite part was buck's face when that man rejected buck's offer to get his jeep and drive eddie#like sure you wanted that dude's attention or whatever#but you were also prettttty unhappy that he got to take your bestie to seek medical attention#meanwhile you were self isolating because you were sure your bestie hated you and you were too nervous to face his anger#which really was just your own anger at yourself you were projecting#we all know eddie thinks you do no wrong sir#literally#your first kiss with the man you were talking about maiming eddie#when eddie does not feel like you maimed him#we call that guilt

shoutout to the time one of my "friends" told me that having an oc or a story inspired by a song means you are unoriginal and can't come up with your own ideas and are therefore stupid and then I found a song that was, absolutely, beat for beat exactly about their current most precious OC like its not even funny. So I sent it to them. And they said it "doesn't count" because they'd never heard it before. but you guys will never guess who's yt playlist titled "writing" I found that fucking song on in the first place. bitch ass
#its a banger of a song tbf#unfortunately everytime I hear it I think back on this and get mad#she was sooooo determined to try and make herself seem better than the rest of us but dude everything is inspired by something#'a trope can be applied to your story which means its poorly written and unoriginal' okay lets talk about your tropes then. hm.#we were roleplay partners and our characters were VERY similar in terms of like. backstory and how they were meant to develop#and she STILL insisted constantly that HER oc was perfect and original and mine was just a cheap copy. biting killing maiming#unsurprisingly we are NOT friends anymore but its actually not because of that it was because she was also just broadly a bitch#and kept trying to stir up drama for literally no reason so one day I was just like kay bye.

like not to sound like some edgy piece of shit but that is also why horror is like such a breath of fresh air to me lmao like in almost all the horror media i've seen
#like horror media is the most accurate representation of real life for me cause . life is suffering!!! life is pain!!!#everything fucking hurts !!!!#like i really liked that there were multiple suicidal characters in made in abyss#or at least a common theme was that death is sometimes the one and only way to relieve your suffering#bc thats true! the best day of my life will be the day i die bc i will not be in pain anymore !!! <3 SO TRUE MIA !!!#even the characters that werent horribly deformed like mitty and irumyuui. vueko wanted to kill herself bc of trauma#and saw my beloved i LOVE SAW !!!!! and i FIRMLY BELIEVE that saw is just like real life <3#bc a lot of the victims arguably did not deserve to die. they did not deserve to be “tested”#a lot of good people suffer irl and a lot of bad people get away with what they've done#and sometimes you wake up in a situation that is not your fault but theres nothing you can do to get out of it#sometimes you are forced to endure something that will maim or kill you#and if ONE PERSON decided it was not worth it to hurt you you could have been spared.#and sometimes you panic bc the easier option may be letting yourself die but you wish it wasnt#you wish there was a key or that someone would come and free you painlessly but there isnt a third option#sometimes its immense pain and then death or just death. and you can only pick between those two#sometimes all the fucking tables are turned against you and you can do nothing to fight back! ultimately you just have to take it#and nobody is coming to save you either. someone picked YOU to be the one to suffer and die and now you just have to endure it

Xenoblade 1 is the best game like ever fucking made and it has two of the most dogshit sequels ever fucking made
#meows#remembering just how insulted I felt in 2017 when I preordered the sequel and really really tried to like it#I hadn’t experienced Game I Don’t Like before 2 and it took me like 40 hours to realize I hated it#and that shit at the end is such an INSULT. such an insult#you’re telling me that [redacted] was actually only half of himself the whole time and that 1 and 2 are taking place at the same time???#and that oh actually [expunged] is one of three computers when the first game made no mention of any of that#y’all really went back to say your complete first game actually is only HaLf of the story? that someone like [expunged] is only a third of#the force that ended our planet#y’all went back and hollowed out your existing characters to make room for worse versions of the same characters#AND you play as a dork nerd child who ends the game with three gfs bc this is story#and the gfs do nothing but sacrifice themselves for you like three times and look pretty#but they don’t look pretty to like. normal well adjusted people#they look pretty to the I like questionable art of 17 year olds crowd#and the GALL. the GALL. of changing [expunged]s design in the switch port to try to stitch his afterthought purpose into the old game#while also making him just whiter and whiter until by 3 he’s like fucking light grey#and having him have a canon genderbend that’s just anime waif#who is also fucking white#and giving Klaus’ counterpart a name that has nothing to do with Gnosticism#even though so much other stuff in the first game comes from Gnosticism.#who the FUCK is Galea!!!! her name is fucking Sophia#killing biting maiming#and the gacha system? with bad odds for no reason in a game you’ve already paid for#it’s so fucking messy#it lacks a unified art direction#it’s soulless and even a game like 3 where only HALF of it is 2 flavored can’t beat the original because of the portion of 2 in it#and like what. is it like the two universes reunited after [redacted] died🙃#why did any of this need to exist! why did any of this have to be retconned#x is fine I don’t hate x and I don’t count it as a sequel to Xenoblade 1 bc there’s no#half assed tie back to 1 in x#2 and 3 would have been better as like. tales of games

as everyone else has said, please take you’re time. your writing is worth waiting for 🫶🫶
also, the scion oikawa question you got about him sleeping with other people made me think, would that kind of thing be more likely in the fics with group yanderes like bonten or even the hq teams? since obviously reader can’t be with all of them all the time, would they seek out (purely for sex) other girls just to fill the need? or is it still a no like your response about oikawa
Thanks nonnie <33
Tbh again the concept of the yanderes I write fucking anyone aside from the object of their obsession (the reader) really isn’t something I’m all that interested in putting that much thought into ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If that’s how you wanna headcanon the characters go right ahead, it just ain’t for me
#to me it sort of defeats the purpose of yandere#why imagine someone that obsessed with you that they’d murder maim and kidnap just to keep you with them#who would violate any and all of your boundaries to live out their fantasies#only for them to fuck the first thing that moves because they can’t keep it in their pants?#it feels more like a contradiction than anything else#I know some writers have indulged the concept#and some of y’all seem really into#and by all means if that’s how you wanna imagine/interpret the characters of a specific fic acting#I’m not gonna tell you you can’t#it’s just not something I’m into#now#the reader being forced/coerced into cheating on THEIR s/o??#that’s a whole different story hehe#rhi answers

"actually it's not good ace representation if the ace character is a demonic mass murderer who is basically a homicidal maniac" WRONG. aces have put up with enough. we get to kill now.
#guess what web cartoon i finally watched#and like. once again. i Get It.#maim kill massacre threaten use and abuse all the powers of hell? absolutely. engage in s*xual act*vities? fuck no.#'it's not good representation if the characters are evil or act badly'#what if you sat on the rooftop at midnight and released your inhibitions and felt the rain on your skin.#what if we let queer characters be more complex than Representation and felt the free wind on our faces and laid in the grass for hours.#also asexual characters are just allowed to do whatever they want. it's okay. they've got a permit (postit note that says 'ace' on it)#mythtakes

"the narrow eyes of Asians would be true purely because of the region"
my good brother in christ, DIE.
#went into the zhongli tag. day ruined#'I had almost no experience drawing such an appearance.' YEAH I CAN TELL BY HOW U REDUCE BEING (E)ASIAN TO JUST MONOLIDS AND NOTHING ELSE.#im sorry but also fucking saying this about GENSHIN of all things get a brain idiot#every character in the game has big ole anime eyes#including every single character from liyue and inazuma#like idk what a way to tell me that you haven't met a single asian person in your life and still think of us as stereotypes#i hold a special place of hate in my heart for people who. draw characters from easian media in a ''''''''realistic'''''''' style#and then make their eyes the stereotype slit eyes or otherwise hella fucking ugly . and justify w 'realistic style' 🤓🤓#bro just say youre still xenophobic and go#anyways whatever. killing and maiming but in my mind.#the other thing abt this that makes me angry is this is literally zhongli. he's the epitome of chinese coded in the game. and then ur like#'he MUST have narrow eyes' DIE! fucking why was that comment necessary FOR GODS SAKE . he's chinese in ways that are not phenotypical#anyways whatever idc if op sees this if it's ignorance theyre on thin fucking ice and if its racism then im glad if it ticks them off#ramblings!#the kicker is also i wouldve rbed that without thinking twice if i didnt read the fucking caption. it was decent art but never fucking mind
