YALL, HEAR ME OUT-

BillFord and MaxWil, at their core, are practicaly the same candy in different wrappers

Bill has tricked Ford into building (from Bill's instrcuctions) an interdementional portal by appealing to Ford's sientific curiousity and ego that craves validation so badly, that it can be won over by just a few compliments.

Maxwell ALSO has tricked Wilson into building (from the "Forbidden knowlage" he provided Wilson with) an interdementional portal by appealing to Wilson's sientific curiousity and severely undervalidated ego.

Both Bill's and Maxwell's portals led Ford and Wilson respectivly into a place that can easily be described as "Hell", and had them trapped there for a while.

Both couples have this sort of unhealthy doomed lovers to enemies dynamic (You can't convince me Wilson didn't felt at least a little bit of gay when Maxwell was overlooking the process of the portal's creation, and was manipulating Wilson into trying more than his best by frequent compliments, which i say counts as lovers) that can, potentialy, end in the full proper redemption arc for the villain of the couple and lead to proper healthy gay

And now for general similarities

Ford and Wilson

A mad sientist, who lived in a two stories shack in the middle of the woods

A little bit of wonky anatomy (Ford's six fingers; Wilson's entire fucking head everywhere under hairline. HIS HAIR HAS BONES OF IT'S OWN INSIDE)

Stuck for a while in a strange world that is not his home one, had to seriously toughen up while being there

A very fragile ego

Red turtleneck/vest

"I trusted you!"

Massive "queer. Aro? Ace? Gay? Not sure which one, but at least one of these for sure. Maybe all three." vibes

His "muse" came to them when he was stuck at seemingly a dead end of a research

Bill and Maxwell

Drapper fellow

Manipulative asshole with a backstory of high angst potentials (Which is caused entirely their own fuck-ups)

Theatrical and flamboyant

Twins are at most important, at least very close to charcater (For Bill it's both sets of Pines Twins, the Stans and the Mystery twins; For Maxwell it's he and his own twin brother, and his nieces, who are twins, Wendy and Abigail)

"Not my fault, that you are so guilable."

Once held a lot of power, now does not, and suffers (Bill in Theraprism, dude does NOT seems to enjoy therapy; Maxwell as a survivor, being in The Constant as one is NOT fun) as a punishment for their villainy

Striked many deals with a lot of other people, but the deal between him and his sience boy was very special, on the level of how it was carried out. (For Bill, uniqueness of the deal lies in the specific, a bit too personal connection to Ford; For Maxwell it's the fact that he gave Wilson the time, the long term deal during which Wilson built the portal, instead of just grabbing ppl and dragging them into The Contsant without a second of chill sounds like him wanting some lovey-dovey time before the betreyal reveal)

Also, both had a period where there was a very homerotic animosity. (With Bill and Ford it's just the entirety of their interractions throught the whole show; With Maxwell and Wilson it's after Max is dethroned and has to survive in the same world as Wilson, and they fight a lot in the beginning)

honestly going to be a little brave even and say that the reason buck kissed tommy Like That at the hospital is because he was so pent up from the bachelor party and seeing eddie shirtless getting vodka poured down his throat that he was like . i need to make out with a man immediately or i will die.

Guys. Guys hear me out.

Remember that originally Venus de Milo was basically just female Leo because producers wanted a female turtle? And they shared a lot of simmilarities like being the responsible one + blue theme?

Ok. Ok. Now, still with me? Ok. Transfem Leo. Blue Mask, responsible, kinda mystic in some versions.

Leo chooses Venus as an alternative name after he comes out. Boom. Goodbye.

TOP TEN WORST TYPES OF TF2 MISCHARACTERISATION: (in my opinion)

Woobified Scout (we've all been subject to it at some point)

"Feral" (rapist) Sniper (scary)

Not smart Heavy (man has a phd, smh)

Seme/Uke ass Heavymedic dynamic (and also woobified Medic)

Those "it was a girl all along" type Pyro fics (they fill me with such raw feral rage its insane)

Asshole dad Spy (can be fun in small doses but gets taken way too far 80% of the time)

Racist/Homophobic Soldier (HE WOULDN'T. Unless told to predjudice the enemy BUT THATS IT)

To the same extent, needlessly assholish Soldier (only exists to add another billion Scout Angst fics to the pile)

When Engie is "the normal one" (he's a maniac with a god complex, get it right)

Demo being ignored, or just having his alcoholism be the only thing about him

An honourable mention is making Ms Pauling straight /j

Listen, Ethan Hunt is at his core a silly goofy guy. Can he improvise? Sure! Guy loves to do it, does it all the time in fact, favorite way to do things. Anything that requires an actual thought?? A single thought spanning more than the next hour?? Nothing. Not a single braincell of his is working. This man hopped into the helicopter knowing nothing other than the fact that it was constantly yelling at him and that was a Bad Thing. Why? He doesn’t know. Listen. Listen. The man is smart; we all saw him do physics in the third movie when he pendulumed across a building. But also?? This man gets by with the Bare Minimum amount of Critical Thinking Skills (tm). The amount of times (at least two) he has gotten through a mission hoping the targets had never seen each other before?? Jumping into/through/generally towards something with the wish that he makes it and then doesn’t!?! I love Ethan, but it is because the only two thoughts going through that man’s head is Love Friends/People and Jump/Climb Things.

Anyone else look at Icarus in season 1 and like after actually listening to the words they say immediately go "oh you didn't get hugged enough by your care giver as a child huh? You had to work your ass off for the slightest bit of approval didn't you? I bet the parental figure never hit you but they did emotionally neglected the fuck outta you huh buddy."

...K good to know

Me playing Tears of the Kingdom: As much as I miss the champions, it makes sense they're not mentioned much. It's been a hundred years since they died. Even if they survived the Calamity, most of them would probably be dead at this point. The only exception being Mipha, who would have been the only one that would still be alive if she survived the calamity due to her age. The reason they're still remembered so much in Breath of the Wild is because the Divine Beasts, one of the last remaining connections to them, are still active and looming in Hyrule. Impa also said that their spirits feel uneasy knowing their task of defeating the Calamity wasn't done. They were at peace when the Calamity was defeated and passed on. They're not brought up from that point on because them and their era are over and can be laid to rest.

Also me playing Tears of the Kingdom: - holding back tears - Damn I miss the champions

Cesare, and the underworld by extension, believes Steve caused the Kellwasser event, a global extinction event, on purpose, and the set up a sytem of Watchers to monitor the planet for other trickster entities so no similar event ever happens again. They've been monitoring Steve under the Earth ever since (hence the line from DOWN "Chaos Gods Rise From The Deep", they believe Steve is a god of chaotic destruction), and make him Cesare's #1 priority when they sense that he's heading back up to the Earth's surface. Cesare genuinely believes Steve is an evil entity bent on wiping out life on the planet for a second time, which is why he doesn't pull his punches when trying to catch him. However, Cesare begins to doubt what he's held as truth for a thousand years when Steve shows a lack of knowledge/understanding of the fact that he's been under the ground for millions of years (if Steve was unconscious all that time, it could have seemed like only a moment that he was down there) and also calling into question whether or not Steve even remembers/intentionally caused the extinction event in the first place. If this is the case we'll just have to wait and see how Cesare reacts to finding out that he's been "living" a lie for the past thousand years. Him saying "Did you not know?" in response to Steve's confusion while in his jail cell makes me think he may possibly have a change of heart. I doubt the Underworld will take Steve's word at face value, obviously, but Cesare seemed convinced, or at least willing to be convinced, for a moment there.

the thing with kurosuga is it can be so good but not many people are right about it.

Hi hello that Loki ending had me feeling so emotionally devastated I don’t know what to do anymore

[itzmoss]

i need to have a moment

somehow

both shows i love, once upon a time, and voltron

people seem to not like the last season

which i can understand why because with both they dont really like how the ended

but like

yes im not a fan of the way they ended but i still love the last season of both shows

like when i was younger i didnt really like the last season of ouat, and i rewatched the full show recently and i couldnt actually place why i didnt like it, so i watched and i actually really liked it, i mean sure ouat is repetitive thats just kinda what the show does, so yea ofc the last season is "repetitive" but like it also adds this whole new situation with different interesting characters and a different setting.

then when i originally watched voltron it was like maybe the first few seasons when i was younger and then i completely forgot abt it, flashforward to me rewatching it in 2022 because stuff started showing up on my social medias, i thought woah theres so many seasons lets binge it!! then i saw people said the last season was bad, so i literally didnt watch it... which is insane, recently i wanted to rewatch it again, and i thought you know what lets try the last season

it wasnt bad at all, i mean sure the character development couldve been better, and yes we are upset about klance, but my experience watching the last season was pretty amazing, like genuinely crying for half of it cus that shit HITS

anyways here are my "hot takes" (for some) i guess...

[wonkyjaw]

Okay but as horrid as Riko is… if he’d ever been met with an ounce of kindness he would have gotten a redemption arc. The whole point of the Foxes is that people deserve and should receive second, third, fourth, as many chances as they need. I mean, just look at Seth. In a story like that I think it’s a disservice to dismiss the fact that Riko deserved those chances too. He had all the privilege in the world so long as it stayed within his gilded cage. He was just as stuck as Neil and Kevin and Jean. That didn’t give him the right to do what he did, but he had his own abusers and his own neglect and Kevin was likely the only person in his life to ever even try to be nice to him and view him as a person and Kevin is Kevin (meaning if it was not exy, then it likely did not matter). I just think that if Riko was treated with kindness in the face of all his nastiness he might have found his way eventually.

I just see so much of Akito (Fruits Basket) in his character. He was told he was king, pressured to be the best or else, and ignored by the people he craved the attention and love of the most and beneath all that pressure he became cruel and reactive. The only real difference between Riko and Akito is Akito was given that unconditional acceptance and forgiveness (no matter how ‘undeserved’) and was forced to confront how wrong past actions had been. Akito got a redemption arc.
