#We could have had so much

[quarkmonger]

I so wish the A and B plots in the cross over episode both contained Ds9 crew interacting with tng officers, they could have stuck this worf goes searching for his father plot anywhere and instead given us Kira and Picard dealing with the bajoran aqueduct repairs, or Beverly and Troi going to quarks to visit the holosuit spa program

I think I'll forever be a little bitter that mcd was never able to get the fandom song treatment. Like. Okay say what you will about the DSMP

But imagine if we'd gotten an Oblivion style song about Laurance's descent thanks to the Calling

Some sweet lullaby cover of Levin's music box that's meant to be sung by Zoey or Aphmau

The rock anthem that could be made about Zenix's journey of self discovery that we never saw but forever rot over

Give Zianna a trilogy of songs that are ostensibly about her sons but also an exploration of her journey with Garte as she had each son

Mellow folk songs that are written by/about Vylad or the Ro'Meave family

Katelyn grief anthem when?

Zane gets awesome evil villain songs to talk about why he's an awesome evil villain

Mystical tunes abound for many of our silly little creatures that inspire whimsy

I can see the song called "Brother's Lament" and it's like a duet song between Gene and Garroth about how they've failed their younger brothers in different ways and the ways in which they cope with it, good and poor

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ANGSTY ASS SONGS ABOUT DANTE WAITING ALL THOSE YEARS FOR APHMAU?? THERE'S AN ENTIRE ALBUM OF SONGS THAT COULD EXIST CALLED "15 Years" AND IT'S JUST ABOUT EVERYONE'S ANGST AROUND IT

Just got angry again thinking about how they went with the same hackneyed ableist trope of having vecna have scars and limb differences by being brought to the upside down. He could have been anything. He could have had eyes that were endless rows of teeth stretching to infinity. He could have transformed. You’re telling me this guy can bend reality and he doesn’t want to do a sailor moon transformation into a demoblackwidow??? A travesty.

Anyway I’m gonna go look at fanart of Billy and Steve being loved with visible scars and max being blind and Chrissy being blind too and they trade wheelchair tips. Fuck you, duffers.

So is BCG like, dead

[rust-bearer]

I WILL make a more detailed post about it eventually, but the fact that First Aid has never, ever shown his lower face in MTMTE, only to show it briefly in the Lost Light run makes me WANT to analyze it

do you ever just mourn the life you could have had

heterosexuality isn't real it was made up by the cw to hide the fact that every single character in supernatural was queer.

the show as a piece of media is so interesting from a queer perspective because it's like you are standing in the ocean. you can feel several things touching you. you know exactly what they are from the shape. you can vaguely see them through the water, and you know what they are but no-one else seems to.

people are standing miles away on the shore, and they are telling you nothing is there, you're crazy, come back. but you can feel it. and you tell them and they are not listening.

you are doing a puzzle. it's of a beautiful ship, very complex, multi-faceted piece and just when you think you're finished, you almost have it, you realise the middle piece is missing, the head of the mermaid at the front of the boat. however. you can deduce from every other piece of this puzzle exactly what the middle piece is. you might not have a defined answer, but you know what's missing.

and they're telling you it's a donkey head.

Jensen Ackles saw this early script draft and made the choice that Dean would NOT make Cas feel bad for hugging him after the angel thought him dead

In fact, he let Dean be fully embraced by Cas, let him melt into the hug with a soft smile. Dean got to proudly Introduce his angel to Mary without shame or embarrassment, and that’s beautiful

michael and rafael have so much more chemistry with each other than either of them do with jane

Wow it's been a minute but I'm back with Chapter 2! Sakura talks to Tsunade about Shisui and learns more than she bargained for. We get a look back at a pivotal encounter that changed the course of Sakura's life, while Shisui gossips with Kisame.

Lightning in a Bottle (ShiSaku)

It's time for a new ShiSaku fic! This one was written as part of the ShiSaku Rodeo server's Lunar New Year Exchange event. My giftee is the wonderful @sonorous-cicada who requested Akatsuki!Shisui, and I am SO EXCITED to have the chance to dive into that AU. This fic is going to have a few chapters, so keep an eye on this post if you want to follow the updates as I post them.

Summary: For ten years, Shisui has waited for Itachi’s little brother to grow strong enough to face the wicked truth about the genocide of their clan and the man who orchestrated it all. But ten years is a long time for resentment to fester untreated, and when the time is finally ripe for retribution, it isn’t his kin to whom he can turn for help.

Hanging all my hopes on a girl with pink hair and a lazy name, he thinks, wondering yet again how he’s managed to live this long.

But every once in a while, determination surpasses mediocrity and maidens topple monsters. When you manage to catch lightning in a bottle, thunder is never far behind.

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

Happy tdov to fat trans people. 🏳️‍⚧️ Biggest thing that helped me as a trans kid was seeing older fat trans people. There were a lot of really irritating "advice" posts going around early in my time on the internet with a lot of misinformation in them, but one that I constantly saw (in addition to people claiming you should wear your pants rediculously low or only wear button ups) were posts saying you had to lose weight to transition. Can confidently confirm that is completely untrue. 👍
