While writing, I got a bunch of Thoughts tm about the Companion Support group, so short rant coming up about it. it’s all pretty messy etc, pls don’t hold any of this against me lol, it’s all just kind of random brain junk i had while writing
don’t take this too seriously these are just scribbled thoughts that came to me while writing: As much as I do think the companion support group is hilarious, it kind of feels weird to me? Like I get that after seeing all that you might need some therapy that you can’t exactly get from a regular therapist, but from the doctor's pov, that’s gotta feel pretty shitty? Especially when you consider the Doctor already feels bad about ‘endangering’ people and the necessary risk that comes with adventuring, something we got into a lot with Eleven. Like, could you imagine already feeling that way and then finding out some of your previous friends have started a support group about you?? I think Donna would be all for therapy etc, but I think that Donna especially (and some of the other companions) sort of feel more of a duty to take care of the Doctor, and would never put that kind of guilt on him, y’know? Like the companion support group feels like a ‘we were kidnapped against our will and now need therapy’ which is so different to the attitude Donna has, which is much more of ‘of course there’s risk, but look at all the amazing stuff I’m getting to do!! And he’s my best friend!’ She would never want the Doctor to feel guilty about that, and this is nicely wrapped up with her taking 14 into her home. She loves her alien - adventuring or not - and literally is there for him, for better or for worse. Like, I can’t imagine Rose going to that meeting lol. Or maybe they’d be fine with it and this is just me projecting?? Anyway, this is NOT to disparage the fam, I think they’re tons of fun, and the companion support group is genuinely pretty funny, idk this is just a lot of thoughts that came out. Note to the note: the one exception is Martha. That girl deserves all the support groups and financial compensation.

Cal and Trilla are such an underrated comedic duo and it’s a damn shame we didn’t get to see them work together
Like hello?? Trilla asking Cal about the holocron, hearing him just ignite his lightsaber in response and giving the most deadpan, sarcastic “outstanding.” Not a day goes by when I don’t think about this. Fucking. Hilarious.
They would be such an immensely funny sarky duo of Star Wars just had the balls to give them to us.
We were ROBBED I tell you. Robbed of the most sarcastic, scathing comedic duo of the century. The sassy padawan siblings we deserved but never got.
The similarities in driving too?? 💀
IMMENSELY funny.
The annoyed big sister vibes and annoying little brother vibes I get from them are so good godammit. I deserved nightmare siblings Cal and Trilla.
#cal kestis#jedi fallen order#jedi survivor#trilla suduri#second sister#NOT SHIP!!!!#Cal and Trilla are siblings#Junda lineage and their awful fucking driving skills and incredible sass#in another universe Trilla is grumbling about Cal’s recklessness as she patches her little brother up. just think about it#what did I call these siblings again?#inquisitor trauma support group?#the traffic light bunch?#parental issues committee#o66 survivors anonymous#went to the fortress Inquisitorius and all I got what this stupid trauma#padawans that deserved better#Cere Junda’s leash kids#really very interested in how Trilla was like before she was tortured. was she always this sassy and ambitious

my one season 4 complaint is Where The Fuck Was Aneesa
#never have i ever#i really wish her and fabiola had stayed together them not working out didn't rlly serve any purpose to the plot for the new season#fabiola's new relationship was barely rlaborated upon. as expected.#and aneesa was basically written out she was barely even part of the group#plus that scene of them at the staircase talking about fab's robotics team. they still have so much chemistry and they were literally just#talking about robotics#i understand she's not a major character and she can't have a separate plotline to herself but she wasn't even involved in anyone else's#her and fabiola were cute together and she would've at least been part of the plot if they were still dating#allison was barely a character what was the point of writing some random new partner for fabiola when she already had a perfectly good#love interest#it just doesn't make sense to me. whi decided it would be a good idea for them to break up#was it just an opportunity to shove in a nonbinary character who had no personality and was just there as someone's s/o and call it#representation#cause there are Many better ways to have nonbinary rep than this#but ofc mindy kaling wouldn't give a shit about this.#n e ways for this support my nonbinary aneesa hc . it's real.#fabiola torres#aneesa qureshi#OR AT THE VERY LEAST SHE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN WITH PAXTON. SHE HAD THAT NICE HOT JOCK LINE AT THE END OF SEASON 3#im fabneesa 4 life but i would honestly be haply with her dating paxton. they're both cool and they'd be fun together. and she deserves a#nice hot jock boyfriend.

I know how it sounds at first, but I really gotta feel bad for the boys that sacrificed edwin; I mean even the term “sacrificed edwin” paints them in a more sinister light than they really deserve– considering that wasn’t really, actually their intention.
they were bullies, they were homophobic (and/or were self loathing gay boys themselves taking it out on edwin, or were equally likely peer pressured into acting a certain way), they planned something stupid and mean to do to an innocent, anxious boy with the goal of scaring the shit out of him, all because he was effeminate and an easy target. but they didn’t know or expect any of the ritual stuff to be real. they were all laughing and joking during the ritual because it was just that to them– a joke. a cruel joke, but a joke.
teenagers can be mean and stupid and they usually regret it as adults and grow out of it / grow from it. they were stifled the chance to grow out of it, at least while alive. none of those boys deserved to be instakilled and sent to hell; they’re really not that much less deserving than edwin himself. they were all just kids, after all.
#random thought but. yeah……#I mean think about if crystal happened to be killed somehow pre-demonic intervention#she would’ve been deemed deserving of hell by the standards we’ve seen. no doubt about it. if the dragon guys were pulled to hell then yeah.#she would be as well. simply put- she was a bully#she was also a teenager. not a fully developed person. a very damaged and neglected teenager at that#it’s kinda like the criminal justice system right. it’s like. hey you really think sending them to be tormented is the most humane and#efficient way to heal these kids of what makes them act out and allow them to grow and improve?#Crystal’s such a good case to look at because she’s. well. to compare to The Good Place which you can probably already tell I’ve watched 800#times and adore with all my heart. she’s kinda the michael of the group#no one knows it at first but she’s actually kind of a terror to people most of the time. but she’s put in a situation where she#suddenly has a support system- people who care about her and want the best for her- she’s given a purpose and realizes how much better it is#to use her powers to help rather than hurt (well. sometimes helping can involve hurting but you get it)#and by the time she’s regained her memories and has a place in the agency it’s much easier to reflect on her life and be like huh!#this system kinda fucking sucks!#not that edwin wasn’t an example unto himself but he was a ‘clerical error’ not a ‘rightfully’ condemned person#with his situation someone could argue that the problem isn’t with the system being wack as a whole- it should just be maintained better so#these ‘errors’ don’t happen and all the good kids go to their afterlives and the Bad Evil Kids go to hell.#yes yes I know they’re not in hell forever (hopefully) but uhh Simon was still there for over a century and for fucking What?#gay self-loathing and catholic guilt? his intentions were clearly not Truly Evil and more than anything he seems to have been punished using#how much he hated himself for being gay and how guilty he felt for it all. like shit aren’t those feelings enough of a punishment? if he had#lived through that ritual and edwin hadn’t– do you think he would’ve been Okay? I think it would’ve crushed him. chronically#man. anyway#this was an especially long ramble huh#rambling#edwin#edwin payne#dead boy detectives

"I hope it's okay," Marilyn says. "Fine," I say, and it's embarrassing that I'm talking to not even a plant but a picture of a plant on someone else's phone, but I can't help myself. "Look at you. You're growing up. And you're surrounded by so many sexy ferns." Huge, primordial ferns rise from the ground around him. "He was all cooped up in that pot," Marilyn says. "There was no room for him to grow. I mean, his poor little roots were traumatized. I hope I did all right." Fine won't be coming with me anymore. He won't sit on his perch and watch TV with me ever again. He isn't mine anymore. "It's great," I tell Marilyn. "It's perfect. I think I was holding him back." "There's a lovely pepper bush in there waiting to come out," Marilyn says. "He's going to just grow and grow. Next time you see him, I bet you won't even recognize the little guy." You see, I tell Fine inside my head. You're going to be better than ever. "And now you've got an excuse," Marilyn says. "For what?" "To come visit," she says.

I have a TMA Time Travel(ish)AU that exists only in my head and I like to call the "Informed Consent Verse" where full Hunt Daisy suceeds in killing Jon during the Apocalipse and both the Eye and the Web aren't pleased.
Cue to thirteen yo little Jonathan Sims, ten years old Anabelle Cane and tweenty two years old Alice "Daisy" Tonner reciving memories of the end of the world and the events that caused it. At first Jon doesn't want to believe it, specially as the knowledge and memories fades to random flashbacks and small thoughs that don't belong to himself but to the Archivist (cannon Jon) That is until he compells someone. At the same time little Anabelle makes the mistake of deciding to meet the boy she has to turn into the antichirst.
Against the Archivist voice and moved by the realization that Annabelle's Becoming was way closer to his than to Jonah's, Jon offers her the option to try to find a way to not fully Become a second time. Annabelle is afraid but this time the Mother is not all she has and she can see her older self is more the Mother than it is her. Having all the info she chooses to try. Both the Archivist and the Web Agent (cannom Annabelle) think this is a bad idea (for oposing reasons) but Jon and Anna don't care. They ended one world together, now they are going to save one (Jon isn't Jon without a guilty complex). Gerard Keay and Agnes Montaugue sort of adopt the Not Antichirst and the Not Devil.
On the background, fully beliving her one friend and the love of her life (Jon and Basira) are both happier without her, Daisy decides to correct other wrongs and help her victims and acidentally creates a "Hunt Recovery Support Group" (don't call it a cult) with Julia and Trevor.
#tma#the magnus archives#jonathan sims#daisy tonner#adult jon would never accept anabelle but he believes in reformative justice and they are kids#also adult anabelle would not try to get free of the web but i think kid anabelle might#if the web isn't all she has going for her#anabelle is one of the most unfairly treated characthers by cannon and fannon alike#becoming changes you#the relationship between an avatar and their entiry is inherently abusive#most young avatars consented by not knowing it#specially oliver anabelle and jon#of the older ones peter appears to be the only case#first it was jon and daisy making questionable decisions together and that's still an au that starts with the same idea but it's different#but daisy and jon getting weird support groups meeting and doing the spiderman meme is funnier#also julia and trevor deserved more#julia montauk#trevor hebert#martin and jon are a couple down the line#jon tries to be self sacrificial and ignore martin to protect him but Anabelle ships them and is still a bit manipulative as a treat#i'm thorn between aro anabelle on her own and aro anabelle in a qpr with aro sasha#jon and anabelle save danny stoker#dasira happens because i love dasira#daisy befriends callum brodies mum and it's his cool aunt daisy#annabelle cane

conflicting desires for lyke and duvall in sangfielle season 2:
-duvall low-key resenting lyke over the chine thing
-lyke high-key resenting duvall over the oratorio thing and EXPECTING duvall to resent him over chine but instead it's the same one-sided tension that they had on the jade moon
i want them to be involuntary friends. I want it to look like a huge 8ft tall straight* guy calling his obviously gay best friend a wretched bitch and everyone is a little uncomfortable about it except for duvall, who may or may not be behind lyke's bizarrely bad luck when it comes to flies landing in his drinks.
(*i don't think lyke is straight but i do think he's the type of bisexual man that people assume is straight)
#broken record voice#i don't often have trans headcanons actually but sangfielle is an exception...#to me the blackwick group is T4TvsT4TvsT+ marn#lyke is joyfully trans - he's 8 ft tall because he went overboard with the transition magic#pickman and duvall are both stealth because they grew up in oppressive societies#pickman is deeply uncomfortable how vulnerable it makes her feel - she doesn't exactly hide it but will kill u for mentioning it#duvall does hide it but only because he's been hate crimed#until sapodilla - after which he receives the most idealized form of instant-srs from the bugs that his gender euphoria sky rockets#and he doesn't tell anyone exactly but everyone in the blackwick group clocks him on the change#pickman hates it and thinks he doesn't deserve such an easy out#lyke wouldprobably be happy for him if he wasn't pissed over the oratorio#es is the most well adjusted and is privately very happy for him but polite enough not to mention it#chine is trans but in the “this animal does not experience human gender and it's inappropriate to even try to make sense of it” way#chine is also the only one who has seen duvall in every stage of transition and has been enthusiastically supportive the whole time#marn is cis but if any of them hadn't already transitioned then she'd be trying to treat it like a curse to be cured.#i think pickman has had the most traditional medical transition because she distrusts magic - until she meets marn who absolutely#already has a recipe for an hrt-charm and gives one to her#duvall did some sort of terrible black-market medical transition in aldomina - the kind where he had to lie to ten thousand therapists#to convince them that he was actually a straight man and so he should be allowed to transition because a straight trans guy is safer#to society than a lesbian?? that type of horrorshow. meanwhile he's exclusively mlm (or as exclusive as he can be while fucking chine)#which pickman would have respected because to be trans is to suffer for it but nooo instead she didn't even know he was trans until the bug#transition#es is just chill. duvall eventually got a magical bug transition? well es is the magical bug for syntyche#sorry this went way off topic#i am avoiding going to work can you tell? woops#this was all to basically say that i think it'd be funny if#before the bug transition duvall low-key resented lyke for having been able to access magic transition. some guys have all the luck

Marina Thompson Crane is forced back into society following after, not only, her husband's death but discovering that he left everything in his name---from the land to the responsibilities to the money all connected to him---to her. She is now Lady Crane and surrounded by those who await to sink their teeth into her, just as they done before when she was younger, only now with some faux respectability given her new title.
Finding friends is hard, or maybe because she makes it so given the last time, so when Eloise Bridgerton starts making conversation with her Marina can't help but study it with a sharp eye. It's not the first time someone had tried to get in her good graces, throwing in an overly kind compliment that, once upon a time, would have made her heart soar, but now only makes her alert. She was in no mood for a repeat of her first season nor the events that followed. But Eloise keeps pushing, with all her stubbornness and lack of filter, hurriedly rushing to apologize whenever she makes a misstep before standing her ground the next. While most people, when they look to Marina, see an outcast, a woman who got off lucky but has no right to the title of her late husband, Eloise sees a woman subjected to the same harshness of their world that many others had not been so fortunate enough to withstand. Eloise sees someone who could inspire.
Marina appreciates her honesty and becomes more responsive towards the younger Bridgerton girl, indulging her from time to time. And, maybe, because it was nice to have a friend. Whenever Colin comes towards her, Eloise is always there to divert his attention, and whenever Marina attempts to seek out Penelope, the girl who always seems to lurk near the pair, Eloise quickly steers in the other direction with a cold look in response to the youngest Featherington.
It isn't long before a few other young girls flock to the pair, some well off while others are clinging to what they have left. They're all different from one another, but have a shared desire. They don't want a part in the ways of the Ton nor to lose their liberties, but fear the consequences if they do (for how could they remain standing on their own if things don't work out?) Marina is someone they respect. At first, she doesn't see it that way and quickly tries to wave them off, as she wants no part in some girls' rebellious behavior when she has her own children to think of, until she sees how desperate they are. How much she inspires them. How alone they are.
How much they remind her of herself.
Marina doesn't necessarily know how it starts, as it's a tedious process with how some members of society still see her as tarnished and don't want their children near her, but they work it out. Young girls flock to her home, seeking a break from the stresses of the Ton and their expectations, and leave with more knowledge of their self-worth and friendships that they've never had before. It doesn't start out as much, but it grows into something more than Marina could expect (or hope for).
It's also a surprise when the youngest Sharma sister stops by her door, all with a blinding smile and hopes to be accepted given the fact that society views her as a pariah and mocks her when they think she cannot hear. For it was her that ran away from the Viscount during their would be wedding, so she must be the problem. Marina sees that she lacks friends as well or, more so, a friend that can understand her grief. How could she turn her away? Answer: she never would.
#bridgerton#marina thompson#eloise bridgerton#edwina sharma#there's more that could be added to this but its main consensus is women & girls supporting one another#uplifting one another in a society that tries to drag them down#i might make this into a fic on my ao3 but idk#this was mainly to indulge myself but if anyone found it interesting let me know#this is mainly about marina bc i love her & she deserves better#her & eloise & edwina would definitely make great friends#the group helps any women in need whether they want to participate in the ton activities or not as no one is turned away

petty about it bc I'm trans, but it's kinda hilarious that numerous Harry Potter characters were in the first round of JN's Halloween contest and it seems like none of them made it to the second round...
#im sorry but if you submited a harry potter design I do not have time to feel bad for you getting knocked out#sure whoever did didn't do it to spite trans people but we need to banish that god damn fandom asap#it's being heavily licsenced out atm and a portion of all profits go to JK who then uses it to remove autonomy from trans children & adults#via the political medeling shes been doing in the uk for years#I litterally feel like I need to leave my home country because the effect JK & the buyers of HP media and merch have caused#and yall know this shes said numerous times support for hp is support for her and support for her actions in her mind#and that she uses the royalties from HP to finance hate groups and pushes for law change in the UK to prevent trans people existing freely#so im sorry if its mean to laugh at you but also IDK if you like harry potter you deserve it

para las anti trans ser facho es cool si eres mujer, gay y/o de color <3💅🏼
#victimizing that uk politician lady is. So funny actually#But to cry about the optics of someone telling her to shut up is hilarious#Ignoring her political standing... in her ideology identity politics includes acknowledging misogyny and racism#The whole women's safety rampage is hypocritical as hell when its only about a selected group of men they can make an enemy out of#Domestic & gender violence is sky rocketing in the UK. I don't believe men should be in womens bathrooms but to pretend the campaign#Is about anything other than fear mongering about the loss of values is hilarious. She doesn't 'deserve' misogynistic speech her way#Obviously. But saying she should shut up is hardly misogyny lmao.#Pero las rads son predecibles y fáciles de pastorear hacia la derecha<3#Like. Hot take from an annoying lib celeb but the world WOULD be better without the Kemi Badenochs of the world. Gasp.#Making racist caricatures out of immigrants to gather support from the masses is not a problem but saying stfu to one of the many#Tokens leading the european right is violent misogyny and racism 😔 lol. Braindead.

*Casually Materialises*
No one asked for this but I don't care.
Characters that I fucking love from Fazbear Frights that I see barely anyone talking about because they didn't read past books 1-5 usually. Or they forget about them. Because that happens.
Spoilers if you haven't read the books ig??
1. Toby Billings
My beloved boy
He's so depressed lmao
Definitely got some shit going wrong
But we love him
And he deserves better that being tormented by a fucking shadow rabbit
Literally has no mother
She fucking left ✌️
But he has a brother (who is a dick)
And a dad (who supports the brother)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Bestie I hope ur ok
2. Jeremiah (I don't he has a last name, if he does, I forgot it and I refuse to check the wiki out of spite)
Also depressed probably
Needs therapy
Parker was so mean to him what the heck.
He was just vibin
And trying to finish his fucking job
And this bitch put spicy shit in his chips
>:(
Also Glitchtrap kinda makes him have to find Hope and Parker's disembodied pieces
So that's rude
3. Hudson
Why are all of these people depressed
But yeah he has actual PTSD
Poor guy
Literally was trying to just leave his past behind him BC he couldn't deal with it
And just wanted to exist in peace
uNTIL SPRINGBITCH DECIDED HAHAHAHHA NO
I have a lot of hatred towards William.
4. Colton
Surprisingly, not depressed
Just a moron
I love his stupid little brain
He legit broke into a place to fix a game to get tickets for a game when he literally could've just stolen the game
You little dumb dumb
*headpat*
5. Sam
Bestie
Broski does film????
I do film!!!!!
Also I find him goofy
And Nole definitely spent way too long on the first 3 pages describing how he sits and stuff
I have no idea what his skin tone is because everyone keeps changing it and I am just gonna stick with like the original one I know for him lmao
He's so swag
(probably fruity ✨💅)
Does anyone want 5 (or more) characters I despise for dumb little reasons?
#fazbear frights#fnaf#haha#im sleep deprived#i fucking love these morons#you cannot stop me#Toby Fazbear Frights#Toby Billings#Jeremiah Fazbear Frights#Jeremiah support group (he needs help)#Hudson Fazbear Frights#I DO NOT CARE IF HE DIED IN AN OVEN HE IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL IN MY HEART BC OMG HE DIDNT DESERVE THAT (i know hes dead dw)#Colton Fazbear Frights#i casually dont remember anyones last names#Sam Fazbear Frights#Nole Fazbear Frights#my little gay dumbasses#i fucking love them#Nole 100% checking out Sams ass when no one is paying attention#screw Amber i hope she dies#Amber from Faz Frights. i dont know any otber Ambers#oh well#spoilers????

Every Secret Ending in Monster Prom ranked. Once again, I don't really actively dislike any endings so everything is relative to each other.
My Valerie / Damien bias is really showing with this one.
#monster prom#tier list#secret ending tier list#I wish I could have put SUPPORT GROUP higher but Kale only has two personality traits in it#it's not a great look for me that it's directly below like 5 fanservice endings#Eel ending#Zoe's identity ending is low because she already has too many events being harassed by leonard#THRONE is low because REVENGE does everything it tries to do but better.#TRUE CALLING is low because Miranda has too many endings#I like miranda but man liam deserves more love

What i find very weird is how the Koa stans come at the AB fandom with this quasi above it all, moral righteous superiority and just assume we see them that way too. And the way they inform you how Anne "wasn't perfect" and act like that's a killer blow and should destroy your interest in her. Um? No one is perfect? So why is Anne of all people not being perfect so important when it's literally something she could never be? Why the hell is Anne held to these impossible standards and then judged for not meeting them? Were Koa and Mary perfect? No way, but do you ever hear stans admit it? Do they even admit they were ever wrong at all?
fans’ sense of their own morality is deeply entwined with fandom. “We hang so much of our own identity on these things that we love,” she said. “So if those things are threatened, you either have to admit that you’re sort of a bad person for liking those things or you have to convince yourself that everyone else is wrong.”
Option B is generally the one taken here, it honestly, completely explains this phenomenon.
#like finding them the most compelling is fine...?#but the insistence that they're their favorites bcus that's the Morally Righteous (O b v i o u s ) Choice#is where this gets insufferable#like. we're talking about a group of 16c royals. pls be serious#anon#everyone should know that shit was fucked!#also the how dare anne do this~ to two women that had never done anything wrong....#like. a) arguable. and b) if they had done something 'wrong' (whatever that means to them) then it would be alright?#i suppose to some extent it underlines the justification of jane to them? (ie yes she was complicit in anne's downfall but didn't anne#deserve that for having done 'things wrong')#(also if mary was an innocent caught in the crossfire of her parents annulment then what pray tell was elizabeth?)#(mary of course was as a child but let's have some perspective later. anne's response if we see her hand in it to mary's confessor#preaching that anne was a jezebel that deserved to die. was the exile of the confessor and ; anne spying on her once ; and ignoring her#otherwise for the better part of two years until offering any form of olive branch.#cromwell's reaction to anne's almoner preaching he was haman was her utter destruction and that of her family and supporters.#then later mary's to protect himself on all sides for good measure. again...perspective)#but for other matters the double standards of morality are a bit stark#charles brandon repudiated margaret neville; what; exactly; had she 'done wrong'?

I just need to rip Dorian a new one right now.
So. We all agree he never loved Sibyl, right? He refuses to think of her as a human being. To him, she is all the characters she plays and nothing more. As such, he can pretend she is whatever he wants. I'd say he's not even attracted to women because he only gained a greater interest in her when he saw her cross-dressing. It's so blatant.
He brags about her talent because it reflects well on him. Look at him! He's about to marry the most talented woman ever! Her skill, in his eyes, has the sole purpose of glorifying himself. So, when she fails to act (in front of his friends, no less!), she humiliates him. Never mind the fact that if she continues on acting badly, she will be denied work. No, all he cares about is his useless pride. He was going to raise her above her station and she repays him like this?! With one night of poor acting. God forbid if they had gotten married and she failed to keep up the sweetness of Ophelia or Juliet at all times of the day.
Meanwhile, her poor acting was meant as an act of flattery. The stories she's been raised with are all nothing compared to their love! But Dorian doesn't fucking care. Dorian doesn't want someone who is genuine or values truthfulness, he wants someone who can flatter him, and it is unflattering to him to be told he ruins art.
#that's the thing like harry is a bad influence and basil is an enabler#but neither encourage his wrath towards sibyl#harry is a bit rude and basil tries to brush the bad acting aside but it's dorian who decides sibyl has lost her worth as a woman#the romance with sibyl was never going to work bc dorian only values people who can inflate his ego#and he just pins the blame on henry's philosophy when he realizes what he's done#it pisses me off she deserves so much better#sibyl and basil need to create a 'Dorian Gray ruined my art' support group#the fact that there's more book after this angers me jiopger it only gets worse#dorian gray#dorian gray weekly#the picture of dorian gray#sibyl don't die you're too sexy aha
