Oh, oh.
Yes.
My favourite “Merlin?” Very underrated moment, in my opinion.
#arthur had no reason to call HIS MANSERVANT LIKE THAT#WHAT WAS THE REASON?!!#the sweet ‘r’ rolling between his tongue and teeth LIKE PLEASE#arthur had just said to him there were no limits to his intelligence and then he sweetly calls him like that?#yes it was to apologise#NO I DON’T MAKE THE RULES MY MAN ARTHUR HERE IS SMITTEN#TOTALLY AND IRREVERSIBLY#and merlin doesn’t react AT ALL to THAT arthur’s tone of voice#so yeah#your honour the jury the president and annis’ kingdom#it’s not the first time arthur calls merlin like that#oh i’m so weak ARRRGGGGHHH I NEED TO SHAKE THEM#TO CRADLE THEM IN MY ARMS AND TELL THEM TO JUST SNOG AND SHAG THE LIFE OUT OF EACH OTHER’S#OH THIS IS SICK#*cough*#okay i’m fine#NO I’M NOT#merthur#merlin bbc#merlin#arthur pendragon#bbc merlin

Okay but does Peri KNOW that Dev has a robotic leg when he shows up? Something about the fact that Peri's wand is a cane and the fact that Dev could have kept his leg and just had a cane for the rest of his life instead tickles my brain.
I mean he doesn't know immediately, he wasn't like briefed or anything, but he basically lives in Dev's house so he definitely finds out. Peri doesn't comment on or react to it all though really, there's no reason for him to think anything of it, plenty of people have missing limbs, a lot of people are born without them, it doesn't necessarily mean anything sinister happened. He had no reason to pry or ask and I think Peri's lack of reaction to it helped Dev feel a bit more comfortable in his skin. (Not by much but.. a little bit.)
#fop#fairly oddparents#fop a new wish#fop dev#dev dimmadome#dale dimmadome#fop dale#fop Nature AU#<- I might rename it to something else idk give me ideas#LITERALLY thinking about the ableism implications of my AU so hard#Dale doesn't even stop to think that his son might not want a prosthetic leg#(Within the context of the AU the technology is good enough its basically indistinguishable from a real leg aside from lack of sensation)#he's basically deciding FOR his son that having his leg fully replaced would be better than living with a mild disability#After being the cause of that disability!! Double traumatization whammy!#If he stopped even for a second to ask Dev what he wanted he'd have learned that this was absolutely not it!#Half the reason Dev is so secretive is because he thinks being visibly disabled is showing weakness and is some terrible thing#You need accommodations right now man!!! Tell people what you need!!#Dale doesn't actually care all that much about people knowing about the prosthetic leg as long as Dev is quiet about the cause#and doesn't make him look bad#tbh he's kinda proud of the prosthetic leg. Im sure half the reason he was so eager to push it onto his son was because his own company mad#it and wanted to try it out#I have so many thoughts this is getting so long

Idk why everyone is always so convinced Armand has a master plan behind the scenes. Like at this moment obviously his story doesn't line up and there's certainly a lot of things he's not saying. But i simply dont understand the appeal of a version of this story in which Armand was secretly in control the whole time. I think what makes him interesting is that he's weak. Hes a coward. Obviously him saying 'i could not prevent it' is a bald faced lie. But that doesn't mean the truth is that he CAUSED IT. I just think its way more interesting if he had nothing to do with the trial and he just kind of. Stood there and did nothing. Hes telling himself he could not have prevented it the same way Louis told himself Lestat didn't warn him about Claudia. Its not a calculated lie meant to deceive Daniel and Louis. It's a lie he's been telling himself for decades. The truth isnt complicated or clever its just very banal and therefore even more tragic. The truth is very simply that he could have prevented it, and he didn't.
#i dont say this as armand apologism because i do think armand having the ability to save claudia and simply. not. is actually worse#i think you guys are giving him credit where he doesn't deserve it#you want him to secretly have it all together when the reality is that hes a very sad weak man who let himself be used#the worst part is he betrayed louis utterly and it wasn't even his idea. he didn't even have a good reason. it didnt even benefit him#he betrayed louis because someone told him he had to and he was too weak to say no#iwtv#interview with the vampire#armand#blorboposting

thinkign about how alone and unloved morty was for all his life and rick was the first time anyobdy ever put such an amount of intense attention and dependency onto him . and rick had a whole new family and losing them made him stop seeing the value in other people as a whole and morty was the one and first thing that woke him up
#really long Tag rant down there#one of the most Things Ever about them to me is how morty barely even understands just how much rick loves him. more than anything#and its something ricks done on purpose hes made sure of it#because hes so weak he cant handle it#them being together is agony in avsolutely every way and sense but also theyre the best part of eachothers lives#morty because nobodys payed attention to him quite like rick has and all the exciting space adventures and rick just cause. he literally#just likes him thats it. and he never knew it#also i was thinking of this earlier. one of the reasons season 1 is soooo good to me is cuz you get to see morty grow on rick in real time#stuff like that moment where morty walks through the door and rick is instantly at the sight of him SUPER excited and he goes hey!!! but#then he clears his throat and goes Hey trying to pretend like this dumb scaredy kid isnt becoming his favourite thing hes ever known day af#er day#and goddamn night shaym aliens. in that moment where he realised morty had been fake the whole time i rlly wonder what he was thinking and#how he felt. like. oh man this is messing with me way too much this is Bad#and then he got drunk over it and yknow. that . is it post credits. i think. that scene#n literally At the Very beginning he was tired n drunk n stupid thinking like man fuck this im gonna blow this place up and do what prime#did to me. But he brought morty with him Even just at that point it flashed in his mind and he absolutely could not bear to let morty die#Breathes in#im rewatching in October bc anniversary month. i literally can’t wait im so actually impatient i considered just doing it today So hard#odiespeak

I HATE RICKS BACKSTORY SO FUCKING MUCH
#IT SUCKS!!! IT SUCKS!!! IT SUCKS!!!#its soooo obviously just so hes easier to digest and woobify by both the writers and the fandom. its so obviously not planned ahead. ITS BAD#rick goes from being a sad character as in. heres this adult senior man whos only real close confidant is his 14y/o grandson#who he is regularly verbally abusive to because he needs that sense of control in his life after existing in a multiverse that has forced-#pop nihilism onto him as a survival strategy. THIS IS PATHETIC AND IT MAKES HIM A COMPELLING CHARACTER!!!#but then they take seadon 3s meme joke not serious backstory that is so obviously making fun of that trope and theyre like#lets make it canon. actually. wouldnt that be cool#to me its reminant of like when fandoms take a stupid mocking joke thats made in passing and misinterpret it as sincere#UUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH#AND FUCKING DIANE!!! IS COMPLETELT ROBBED OF ANY CHANCE TO BE A CHARACTER AND EXIST OR DO ANYTHING!!!#SHE ONLY EXISTS SO THE AUDIENCE CAN SYMPATHISE WITH RICK#thats the only reason for this backstory. so that rick is sad and you feel bad for him because his life sucks actually#hes recontextualized from a character who is ultimately his own biggest weakness into a character who just had a tough time.#dont you just feel so bad for him

see I need ghost clothes to have properties more or less like regular clothes because wearing someone else’s jacket or shirt is one of the most important expressions of affection in existence and yes basically what I’m saying is i wanna see charles give edwin his jacket for one reason or another and see edwin get all flustered and giddy about it
#the staple of all my high school romances (all like. two or three of them)#but on a more domestic level too….i love the trope of one partner wearing the other’s ill-fitting t-shirt around the house because#it’s comfy and they like feeling embraced in a way by the perosn they love#grahhhhhh I’m weak and cliche i know i know#but yeah the jacket thing…….im imagining like. something happens that leaves edwin hurt and exhausted on the ground and charles rushes over#to check if he’s okay and to help him up. and in doing so he drapes his signature jacket over edwin’s shoulders#and yeah ghosts can’t get cold. but edwin doesn’t say that out loud because he’s too busy being all 💕😳💕. similarly he forgets about being#hurt and can only think about how charles’ jacket feels on him and how everyone can see this mark of affection on him and. and.#yeah#i remember one of my favorite things about (stealing) wearing my ex crushes and boyfriend’s jackets was feeling like. everyone can see#that I’m his. and he likes me. and that we’re Something. I’m Special to him#which is so teenager of me but I’m gonna be honest i doubt anything’s changed and I’m almost 24#I just haven’t felt like that in a long time. man i miss that feeling#but yeah edwin. being as jealous as he is and as up front about people knowing that charles comes first and they’re ‘Best Friends’ and all#i imagine he’d be the type to be a bit (not negatively) possessive and to love that little assertion of. yes. look. I’m his favorite.#we have something special. he loves me. specifically.#same reason i think he’d ACT annoyed at getting hickeys he can’t totally hide but really would kind of love the feeling of being marked#like that. it’s Evidence. he likes everyone knowing charles is his and vice versa.#I think i broke myself#rambling#payneland#dead boy detectives

Thinking about how Zoro may have mixed and complicated feelings about Koushirou because on one hand that’s his sensei and he was taught to respect his sensei, but on the other hand he caused his own daughter, Zoro’s best friend, so much pain and constantly berated her to her face about how she’ll never be strong like the boys nor will she ever inherit the dojo. Like. Zoro cannot have one straight forward opinion on this man, he HAS to have some back and forth opinions on this guy I mean come on!
#imagine Koushirou is like retirement age#and he offers Zoro the dojo because ‘you’re the son I never had you deserve it’#then Zoro shoves his offer in his face by yes taking the dojo but instead of ONLY#accepting male students he accepts female students too#and wow would you look at that his top student is a girl surpassing all the BOYS#all because Zoro encourages all his students equally and isn’t sexist#and yeah I’m ignoring the so called canon sexist Zoro shit :)#I have love hate relationship with Koushirou lmao#I find him so interesting because of how realistic he is to irl people#I have seen actual serious fathers who only has one or more daughters no sons#and for whatever reason they’re sexist dicks to those poor girls#Koushirou trained Kuina in sword fighting he disciplined her on all the swordsmen’s ethics and rules and code of honor#and yet he discouraged her from her dream and kept drilling it in her head that men will always be better than her#no matter how strong she is how much she trains and gives her all#she will always be weak she’ll always be the shadow of men#I love to hate this man so much because WHY does he think this way? it CANT just be that he was raised this way!#one piece#one piece headcanons#roronoa zoro#shimotsuki koushirou

some of you should not speak on dennis until you've rewatched sunny in full instead of just the macden-centric eps.
#literally not even a matter of like. different interpretations it's just some of y'all forget literal canon events that disprove shit#i get schooled by people abt den too i have my weaknesses w writing him#but like oh my god#some of y'all would be better off if you looked at him outside of a macden context#he's not evil incarnate#he's fucked up and he does awful shit#but that is a little boy wearing an adult face#to just make him evil for no reason completely removes any interesting bits of him.#one of the keys to sunny's writing is that#rcg always makes sure that motivation is understandable *in that character's eyes*#dennis has a very specific purpose for everything he does#he isn't just cruel for no fucking reason#he's 'brutally honest' because he thinks its his duty to break the news#he's absolutely entitled and arrogant and misogynistic#but he doesn't set out to be Mean just for the sake of it#den thinks he is doing good. he thinks he's in the right. its not him it's everyone else.#he's doing you a favour by saying you're ugly (and propping up his own decimated self esteem)#that being said he's also not innocent pookie either#but i would say its like. in a lot of ways he IS oblivious to the reality of what hes saying/doing#part of that is his privilege as a white man who grew up being supported by and continues to be supported by his parent's wealth#but the gang enables the shit he does just as frank financially enables him#they are so insular it's like impossible to break out of the gang and interact with normal people#because if they don't get it then dennis is going straight back to the gang to feel validated and to hell w everyone else#on some level he knows shit is unacceptable but he's never learned Why and never will because theres no reason to#like when mac is completely fucking shocked by den talking abt the implication dennis CANNOT let that go unchecked#he needs mac to understand him because he's realizing that it's *actually* fucked up. bc even mac thinks so.#and when dee calls what happened with klinsky Rape everything IMMEDIATELY crumbles for him#dennis is introspective but he will justify shit and compartmentalize until his friends challenge it#he looks to media; tv and movies where the protagonist gets away with shit because its schlock fiction#and dennis DOES see himself as a protagonist. it's all justifiable bc he's the good guy.

still one of my favourite bat interactions lmao kuukou treating jyushi gently and then teasingly threatening hitoya with ✨murder✨
#this is vee speaking#*crying* i have been wanting to reshare this clip for a week now but couldn’t bc i had no internet BUT I DO NOW LETS GO 😭😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌#lol i don’t bully hitoya as relentlessly as i used to and that’s bc the narrative does it for me now#but i remember thinking when this first dropped that the reason i probably like bullying hitoya is because kuukou himself enjoys it LOL#i like seeing the various ways kuukou uses physicality to get his affection across lol#i also think about this scene when i’m thinking about kuukou’s mastery over his body/strength lol#like when bat first gets together jyushi passes out from kuukou’s bars and hitoya scolds kuukou for it#and kuukou replies he’s not skilled enough to know how to hold himself back#and this scene shows exactly what he means he’s not skilled enough to hold back lol#kuukou constantly trains himself so he knows his limits strengths and weaknesses#kuukou’s flexing that strength against hitoya for funsies lol but he knows how to stop himself from actually harming him#lol i also like to compare this scene to a panel in the tdd manga where kuukou is just slapping the shit out of ichiro’s back#and it’s a friendly gesture lol but ichiro grumbles kuukou’s using too much strength#kuukou using that much strength tho is him knowing ichiro can handle it lol i like that they’re twin physical monsters#remember when the both of them physically chucked a huge ass man with one hand lmao

Eddie diaz dealing with his mommy issues arc in season 8 is feeling realer to me than ever right now
#Helena diaz is responsible for so much of Eddie’s issues#she is a massive part of the reason Shannon left the first time#the way she spoke at ramons retirement party just reenforced things#she is the matriarch and rules with an iron will#it is ultimately down fo her that Eddie was forced to grow up too fast - was forced into a heteronormative behaviour pattern#she is the reason he didn’t get to figure out who he really is and that’s what he’s paying for now#Ramon just went along with her - that has been shown on multiple occasions - he is like Phillip buckley - a weak man who goes along with his#wife for a quiet life#so yeah - Helena (and Ramon) showing up in 7x10 - perhaps to take Chris back to Texas for the summer#feels very intentional to me - Eddie dealt with his issues around one parent - now in order to let go of Shannon and move forward he needs#to deal with the other#gonna be so good#it’s also worth pointing out that we see a far more soft and vulnerable Eddie with abuela and Pepa than with Helena - perhaps the contrast#will be explored - Helena not liking abuela or Pepa that much because she thinks they make him soft etc - would be juicy too#(can you tell I’m not a Helena diaz fan!!)#911 spoilers#eddie diaz#911 speculation#911 abc

Atla live action 😐
#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping

A book asks the reader to imagine any sensory input of the story, whereas a film or TV show provides both sound and visuals. Audio fiction lives in the space between these two approaches. I think there's a unique power to that middle ground. I love how audio drama asks the listener to co-construct their sensory experience of the story.
Audio drama allows me to simultaneously experience 'This character feels real to me because I've heard their voice' and 'This character feels real to me because I've pictured them myself'.
What the characters are experiencing is both directly presented to me and left to my imagination. There's no page or screen between me and the story. It's there in my ears. It's there in my mind's eye.
There's a strange sense of intimacy to that, the intimacy of feeling like a fly on the wall during a conversation or of hearing a character speaking as if directly to me. Perhaps it sounds contradictory to say that experiencing a story only through sound allows me to feel uniquely connected to that story, but that's one of the reasons why I love audio fiction so much.
#I am conscious that this is very much the perspective of a sighted and hearing person#and I hope that doesn't come across weirdly#I'm just trying to articulate how I feel about it#This is no shade to books/films/TV btw#They are also excellent mediums with their own strengths#Honestly the main reason why podcasts are my primary form of media consumption#is probs that I'm bad at setting aside time to read/watch things#rather than necessarily because of the specific power of audio fiction#but the particular magic of audio fiction is a nice bonus#I don't really buy into the idea that reading is 'active' while watching video is inherently 'passive'#but under that way of thinking audio fiction is kind of between passive and active in an interesting way#podcasts#audio drama#audio fiction#the empty man posteth#I'd be interested to know if this resonates with anyone else or if it's just me#Also another element to this which makes it weirder is that I have a pretty weak visual imagination#so when I say 'mind's eye' that tends to mean vague concepts for me rather than actual images#but it still helps me feel connected to the story in a unique way. Idk

Ok y'all talk some sense into me if I really am just extremely blorbo-pilled right now but like... the opening of KDot's song PRIDE....
Hear me out but I feel like I could apply this to the breakup arc of my ship w Mojo pretty easily 💀💖💀💖💀💖💀💖
#LIKE. MAYBE I AM JUST EXTREMELY BLORBO PILLED BUT IT COULD WORK!!!!#cuz like the reason a brief split happens is him pushing my s/i away thinking love will make him weak and soft#but whats going to actually ruin both him and me is telling himself that he doesn't care about me or want me around#sure love probably will make him softer but his pride and arroagance is DEFINITELY going to make us both miserable#idk man is this anything. am i cooking. you tell me 👉👈#ruby rambles#💜: loving you's a felony
