#acab except (some) fictional ones

[mywingsareonwheels]

I do love the fact that I'm among quite a lot of fans of British police procedural shows and books (and adjacent genres) who share some or all of the following opinions:-

the police in real life are obviously appalling

so these characters, even when they're fucking up massively and behaving reprehensibly, are still generally unrealistically well-intentioned, compassionate, and competent (in some stories, some of them grapple with colleagues who are more true-to-life, and a lot of drama hangs in that)

all of which is good because otherwise I would not enjoy this genre

but it's so very important to remember that difference because otherwise we end up being far too lenient with real-life police

anyway, I love these characters and because they are decent (if flawed) human beings the job is badly traumatising them, so I would really like them outta there

retirement and/or different jobs for all please so they can thrive and be their best selves!

also hugs which in some cases they keep refusing to give each other which is very annoying

hooray for fanfic which can provide the required different careers and hugs etc.. <3

(This post is, predictably, brought to you by my deep if sometimes frustrated love for E Morse, Fred Thursday, Peter Jakes, Reginald Bright, Shirley Trewlove, Jim Strange, Jimmy Perez, Alison McIntosh, Tommy Linley, Barbara Havers, Robbie Lewis, Harry Nelson, L. Petronius Longus, Shahara Hasan, Sam Vimes, Angua von Uberwald, etc. etc. etc.. (Also Charles Parker and Carrot Ironfoundersson and Hugh Beringar although they are all improbably well-adjusted as well as improbably decent...) Between them they fuck up a lot, oh good Gods (*glowers with affectionate exasperation at Fred and Tommy and Petro especially*), but Even So.)

I just thought of the comedy potential in a Superkids summer camp.

I imagine the other members of the Justice League are super impressed with the robins and want their children to have basic training so they have a better chance at surviving. So they ask Batman about it. He says no (probably because the idea that he can train kids to survive is a bit triggering to him), so they ask Nightwing about it and he's delighted to organize with his siblings.

This would be for the youngest of heros/children of heros so think Damian and younger. Except for Damian all the Bat kids are camp counselor. Some rapid fire thoughts:

Dick and Barbara are the main camp counselors. They sometimes have to leave camp because duty calls (I mean, all of them have to at some point). Dick would teach the kids how to properly fall, a lot of knots and some fun beginners acrobatics. The kids love him because he's great at retelling stories at the bonfire. All of the campers are trying to piece together his love life because it sounds chaotic.

Barbara teaches the kids basic tech skills, how to properly use comms and how to spot cameras and mics. She and Jason may not be as outwardly protective as Dick but they understand the danger of being a hero's kid (Gordon counts as a hero to me). The kids think she's fun because she's always up to mess with the boys, but she's also the one that talks about the serious stuff. When Dick gave them the talk about the importance of their safety at first they didn't take him seriously. It's Barbara who (with tact of course) makes them understand they're not invulnerable, and everyone needs training.

Cass might get overwhelmed at times because communication doesn't come easy to her and kids are particularly prone to misunderstanding things (sometimes on purpose). She still enjoys it tho, and considers it good practice (Barbara is really proud of her). She teaches hand to hand combat and hr marshmallows are always perfect.

Jason is conflicted. I think he would have a lot of fun pulling pranks and teaching the kids how to aim with different weapons (non lethal of course), but the premise of "these kids have a target on their back" hits a bit close to home. He's definitely broken down about it at some point. He hides it well and tells amazing fictional bonfire stories (that aren't the plot of classical books reimagined)

Steph is the local expert in disguises and teaches the kids different accents and how to change body language. She's also extremely chaotic and helps the kids pull pranks on the rest of the counselors. The kids love her impressions and she provides voices for Dicks stories in exchange for marshmallows.

Tim is having a lot of fun and I imagine him and Dick are reminiscing about Young Justice/Teen Titans a lot now that they're surrounded by kids. He teaches the kids how to be stealthy and probably introduces them to the art of "always having a backup plan for your back up plans". He corrects Dicks inaccuracies when his retelling his own battles (and provides evidence with Barbs). He would also be amazing at telling horror stories.

Duke would be the one helping the kids find creative uses for their powers. Since they're still young a lot of them are still figuring it out. He also helps non metas to spot the weaknesses in superpowers. Also he, Jason and Steph definitely give the kids the ACAB talk (Tim offers to distract Dick and Barbara). He makes visual aids for bonfire stories (sometimes he makes Dick look derpy because that's how siblings work).

Damian hates the whole idea at first. Sure, he gets to spend time with John but he could have done that without a bunch of bumbling idiots around. And half of those are not even his siblings! He considers it beneath him, he doesn't need to learn what he knew at five. He starts helping the other kids out because "he just can't stand to watch such incompetence". The kids start going to him for advice and at first he's very annoyed but eventually he realizes that they're looking at him as some sort of camo leader. Then he gets really flustered about it (especially when some of them start calling him friend). Dick and Tim high five behind his back, it was the plan all along.

(Damm this got long sorry. I would love to hear your ideas on possible interactions or other things the bat kids could teach the kids. I really don't know much about the younger gen)

I don't know much about the younger generation as well :( I really like this idea, though! And you're absolutely fine. This ask wasn't that long and was super enjoyable ^^

There's a ton of cute ideas that you've mentioned with the batkids and campers. It kind of got away from me, but I started to wonder about them making camp an annual event.

They could extend the camp out to people who have powers in general instead of just heroes kids. The camp would be disguised (even from some parents who don't know their kid is trying to be a vigilante or has powers). It's a great idea to give the kids survival techniques, connections, training, etc. The fact that it's over the summer also helps so that the kids can focus on school during the school year.

The camp is funded and slightly looked over by the JL, but it's mainly headed by the batkids. Some of their hero friends also help out over the summer if they want to and can.

Eventually, they start to have organization for what's being taught. They have many many classes taught by different heroes, vigilantes, anti-heroes, trusted contacts, etc. They want the kids to have fun, but be safe. Here are some of their classes:

First Aid/Medical Help - All campers are required to have some sort of first aid class on their schedule. They can test out of the lower levels, but most end up repeating a class. It's been 10 or so months since they last learned the material. The camp is certified to allow campers to get a CPR certificate if they complete this class.

Stealth - various levels on staying hidden in different scenarios, blending in, or getting away enough to hide

Disguises - This includes keeping and maintaining a secret identity

Hero Ethics - This class goes over various laws in place (regionally, nationally, and internationally), the impact of capes on the community level, etc.

Vigilante/Hero Arrests - Basically how heroes make arrests, how this holds up in a court of law, necessary steps, evidence gathering, etc.

Power Safety - how to safely experiment with your power, when to use it, how to use it, etc.

Fun with Powers - how to let loose a little, enjoy the moments, and be free with any powers. It also allows campers to feel more confident and reassured.

Water Fighting/Rescue - They use the lake to demonstrate how to help people, how to fight various villain types over water, and how to calm down panicked civilians in water. They also have classes geared towards teaching people to swim or row

Arts, Crafts, and Police Sketches - Usually for fun, but the higher levels help people with making quick witness sketches

Dance and Movement - teaching folks how to move their bodies in various ways, how to incorporate dance into they fighting, how to dance in general, and how different movements create different effects

Being Prepared - backup plans for the backup plans

The Downsides of Being a Hero - older campers are eligible to take this class so that they are aware of the consequences of this path. Once you're in it, it's hard to let go. They want people to make informed decisions (they aren't discouraging heroics. Rather, they are chatting about the ugly sides people don't usually talk about).

Life Essentials - cooking, cleaning, sewing, taxes, etc.

Survival - How to survive in all types of scenarios (rural, urban, in forests, deserts, etc.)

Night Classes - stuff they teach after it gets dark (navigating in little to no light, for instance)

There's probably more, but this seemed like a solid start. They have campfires, lots of free time to explore, trails to hike, those blow-up water things, plenty of games mixed around, treasure hunts, capture the flag nights, etc. They want the kids to be safe, have people they can turn to for advice, but to still be kids.

My response doesn't really focus on the batkids, but you can try to assign who teaches what, which friends get dragged into camp, how all the logistics are handled, who's playing music over the intercoms, fun pranks they do, and other stuff.

Controversial Character Tournament Round 2: Kromer from Limbus Company vs Anders from Dragon Age 2

(remember that these characters are fictional and your fellow tumblr users are real. please be normal in the notes, i will not hesitate to block if you harass people)

Propaganda under the cut:

Kromer:

HATE: - "Nasty, scrungly, murders people for having advanced prosthetics, but yet the fandom still loves her, I will never understand that"

Anders:

LOVE: - "So Anders blew up a chantry as a symbol of mage rights. He's wild. Completely feral. I love him so much. He's canonically Bipolar (like me) but it's written in the worst possible way. He is possessed by a demon, technically. He's so unhinged. So many people hate him. He is technically a terrorist. The later game literally changed it so even if you agreed with him, no you didn't" - "hes SOOOOOO." - "He has a controversy page on wikipedia (It is not about that time he blew up a church). He likes cats. He gives poor people free magic healthcare. There is so much discourse about him all the time. His writer hated him. He escaped a cult. He's canon bipolar AND bisexual. He's possessed by a spirit of Justice (who rocks so hard.) He hates the Catholic Church. He lives in a sewer. He's really mean and petty. He was put in solitary for a solid year. He's one of two openly queer (i.e. mentioning it outside player romance) companions (the other being Isabela Dragonage) in his main game. Anders isn't even his birthname, it's a nickname given because he didn't speak for months when he got taken to the Catholic cult prison at 12. He drank long-lasting poison to fight an evil corrupting force because he wanted to not be murdered or have all his emotions lobotomied from him by the Catholic church prison guards (This is almost completely unrelated to the possession.)" - "Anders! He's a medic for those too poor to afford healthcare! He loves cats! He has a cat named Ser Pounce-a-Lot because he's a perfect man. Anders absolutely says ACAB, except in DA2 it's ATAB: All Templars Are Bastards. He's canonically bi! He runs an underground railroad-type deal for mages to escape from abusive institutions! He blew up the in-universe Catholic church for opressing his people (mages)! Some say this makes him a terrorist. I say this makes him a babe ❤️❤️❤️ He is unreasonably mean to Fenris, but imo that's just Bad Writing we can handwave away ok? ok. cool." - "there is a controversy section on his wiki page bc his bisexual ass made the straight male gamers angry by flirting with their characters. ppl in the fandom have also been arguing nonstop for 12 years abt his actions at the end of da2. do u want to go to anders discourse? too bad we're going to anders discourse."

BOTH: - "I really liked Anders in Dragon Age Awakening, I thought he was fun and funny, but he's insufferable in da2 and his fans and apologists are so annoying. He's a terrible person in that game and they have to make stuff up and ignore all the awful stuff he says and does. He's so awful I always kill him at the end of the game because I hate what he became."

Some More Idle Thoughts on Patlabor!

So I've been sick these past couple of days, which means I haven't been able to work on the Iron-Blooded Orphans post. However, in the time that I was sick, I was able to read through some classic giant robot manga.

Which included Patlabor. And now I have more thoughts about the series and those lovable goofballs of SV2 Division 2. So here are some more of my thoughts on Patlabor.

Nagumo is Different in Every Timeline

I love that SV2 Division 1 Chief Shinobu Nagumo feels like a different character in each timeline. Like the OVA/Movie timeline has her as someone with a checkered past (and that's all from Patlabor 2, by the way), while the TV timeline has her be the more level-headed of the two division chiefs of SV2. Meanwhile, the Manga timeline has her as more of a hothead, though she's later written to be more like her TV anime counterpart. And yet, the core of her character is still there in all three versions: she's the hard-working, more reliable chief of SV2.

The TV Anime Timeline Still Has the Most Rounded Out Cast

Reading through the manga has reinforced my opinion that the TV timeline has the most rounded out cast. And as before, it's due to the fact that the TV anime (and by extension the New Files OVA) are more episodic in nature that they get to flesh out all of the characters. Though when the OVA and manga timelines do dedicate time to specific characters, it tends to be a bit more fleshed out. Great examples of this include how the OVA handles Gotoh or how the manga handles Kumagami and, amusingly enough, the peeps at Schaft Enterprises. But in terms of a rounded cast, both pale in comparison to the TV cast (just think about this: one of my favorite things about the manga is that Shige doesn't show up until closer to the end of the manga, not because I dislike Shige, but just because of how often he shows up in the other entries). None of this matters all that much, as the way Patlabor works in my mind is that a lot of these character traits are shared between timelines, as Patlabor is best enjoyed holistically and not as separate timelines that try to do their own thing.

Except Ota. Ota is Universal

If there is one character who remains the same throughout all three timelines that aren't the forward and backup of Division 2's first unit (that's Izumi and Shinohara, by the way), it's the living embodiment of ACAB himself, Isao Ota. I don't know what it is about SV2's resident gun nut, but he's one of the characters where their personality remains largely unchanged throughout the various entries. Even in Patlabor 2, Ota is still the hot-headed gun nut we know and love.

Granted, there are some nuances with Ota as a character. Famously, the insurance episode in the TV timeline plays on the fact that Ota does try his best not to cause so much destruction and mayhem. And in the case of that episode, it's just bad luck. But more often than not, Ota's hot-headedness tends to get him into more trouble than its worth.

And it's great. It's why Ota's such a lovable gun nut. He may be the living embodiment of ACAB, but he's my living embodiment of ACAB.

Conclusion

Patlabor will always be one of my favorite series out there. I think a big part of that is due to it being one of the first giant robot series I watched that wasn't either Gundam or Gurren Lagann. Like last time, I do think if you ever get the time, you should give the series a shot. Now, hopefully, Patlabor EZY will come out in the next couple of years...

This is a work of fiction, but in ten years? Who knows...

Joe flr character bingo? 👀

sorry anon i was outside in the garden planting raspberry bushes. anyway this is SUCH a good one and I am kinda mad there are so few squares I can tick off for Joe bc i genuinely love him but not like That

Joe is such a comfort character for me in a very diff way. he makes my daddy issues go brrrrr cos THIS is a dad. THE dad of all time. if i could pick any dad ever to have instead of mine i think i'd pick him.

I think he's so fucking funny first of all. it's my fave thing to put him in a fic and just. mess with him. im poking him with a stick. im watching his blood pressure go up. i'm making him deal with leonard snart and he's about to explode every time they're in a room together. i just. have so many affectionate feelings for him and his seething hatred of this man. and the earth 2 version where he's exactly like that but to BARRY? iconic. no notes. rip earth 2 joe you were a bitch and i miss you sm

THAT BEING SAID there are things about him that make me go "you should have faced more consequences for that. go sit in a corner and think about what you've done." namely bullying iris out of being a cop (acab etc. etc. but still shitty of him), the whole thing where he was like BARRY, WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK MY PERMISSION TO MARRY IRIS (and iris AGREED 🤮🤮🤮 who the fuck was in charge of the writers' room that day, i just wanna talk), the fact that he can be overbearing and controlling of his kids and very jaded in a lot of ways... idk he's a flawed character and every character needs some negative aspects so none of these things affect my love for him but sometimes i am shaking my head in disapproval...

as for canon. this is true of everything but MAN did they drop the ball with him towards the end... i get why they had joe quit ccpd given the political situation at the time and i support that 100% but first of all, having a Black character go "hey the police force in my city is inherently corrupt and i can no longer be complicit in its enforcement" (true and correct) while their white hero just does not acknowledge that corruption and continues to work for the same establishment completely uncritically was... perhaps not sending the message they intended... i mean it's honestly almost funny cos that is very much a reflection of the actual systems but. maybe they could have thought about that one a bit more...

and they really should have given joe something else to do cos he ended up sorta directionless after that. in fairness i know jesse l martin has back problems so i think them having him sitting down chilling at home as a stay at home dad was perhaps borne of necessity in a lot of ways but they defo could have done more interesting things with the character. im not OPPOSED to sahd joe but it does seem like a bit of a waste cos it would just be like. every episode joe shows up for a pep talk then goes back to being the full-time stay at home parent for a child we literally never see except one time when a window explodes in her face, which brings me to my NEXT point---

writing joe out with LITERALLY like 8 eps to go? stupid. again i respect that jesse l martin had HAD it with this show (tbf who hadnt by this point) and he wanted out, of course he had every right to do that, but purely based on the context of the show, i hate that they had him leave central city like that and move so far away when we were so close to the finish line. HAAATE it. the show was basically on life support from that point on. it was possibly worse than when we lost cisco. joe was the heart of it, man. it just wasn't the same :(

but yes I LOVE JOE, he is the only fictional dad i respect and i love ruining his life

❦2024 Pinned Post❦

Please note: my blog's theme is best viewed on computers, rather than on mobile. It makes it easier to see my side pages!

If you like my writing, feel free to support me on ko-fi!

❧Basics☙

Call me Basalt, or Octo, or Basalamander, or Basa, or whatever. I don’t care. I'm currently studying music and psychology. I use they/bun/he pronouns. I'm black and bisexual, so a lot of my writing works will reference that in some capacity.

I am always open to asks or tag games! Please PLEASE send them in, as I love getting them! I promise to try and return any asks/tags that I get!

This blog is mostly safe for work, although some content might be suggestive or borderline NSFW. Please note that in this context, NSFW doesn't always refer to sexual content. Sometimes it means violence and whump. If you'd like to avoid these here, please mute the tag #shady-salamander!

That being said, this blog will post and discuss the following: gore, body horror, murder, suggestive themes, sex, religious trauma, PTSD, childhood abuse, bigotry in all forms, sexual assault, and more. Please proceed with caution, as I'll try to tag everything to my best ability. Once again, the #shady-salamander tag will be in your best interest to mute if you don't want to see such things.

This blog in general is multifandom! It mostly hosts my writing and fandom content, although there might be a few discourse posts scattered throughout. Once again, if you'd like to mute those discourse posts, then the #slippery-salamander tag is your way to go.

❧Writeblr☙

I exclusively write fantasy, although I'll occasionally dabble in science fiction as well. I'm into both fanfiction and original works. I'm in the process of rewriting some of my older fanfiction, and uploading it to my Ao3.

Unless stated otherwise, all of my original characters are dark-skinned (black or brown). No exceptions. I love watching people of color going feral and fighting against oppressive regimes. It’s the only thing I write about and always will be.

I have a page with all of my WIPs, so please check those out if you're interested in reading further!

❧Things to Note☙

I am a full and utter supporter of ACAB, BLM, and queer liberation. If you don't like that? You can fuck all the way off.

I am anti-censorship and anti-harassment. What someone writes or draws about ≠ what they believe in real life. If you can’t separate fiction from reality, then you shouldn’t be on the internet at all. However this also doesn't mean that you can't criticize portrayals in media, nor does it mean that internalized biases can't seep into works. I think it's very important to understand that just because someone creates something, doesn't always mean they support that. There's a fine line.

If you want to send me hate mail, please be more creative than racism! Send some ableism, and transphobia too please!

Há algum tempo atrás, falei sobre as coisas que eu estava produzindo. Para quem não lembra, lá vai:

Estou trabalhando em três filmes diferentes:  uma animação experimental (esse ainda está muito longe de terminar).  Um documentário meio ficção (ou algo assim, ainda não tenho certeza, só sei que esse será meu projeto principal para os próximos anos). Um filme que recentemente desengavetei e que trabalho nisso desde 2018 (esse era o filme "Não agora", que mencionei faz algumas semanas e que o reengavetei).

trabalhando com as cinemanipulações (dei um tempo nisso, produzi só um ou dois vídeos).

em breve farei mais uma temporada de Lentidões Amazônicas (acabou que produzi duas temporadas!).

acabei de terminar um curta que espero em breve falar mais sobre ele (o curta é "O Grande Jardim", que mencionei recentemente)

músicas do Coletivo 91, como sempre (novo EP sairá em outubro).

E eu não mencionei na época que vou produzir um videoclipe para cada música do Coletivo 91 (exceto as músicas de trilhas sonoras). Eu não tinha mencionado porque esse ideia veio só depois.

A while ago I talked about the things I was producing. For those who don't remember, here goes:

I'm working on three different films: An experimental animation (this one is still a long way from being finished). A half-fiction documentary (or something like that, I'm still not sure, I just know that this will be my main project for the next few years). A film that I recently unshelved and have been working on since 2018 (this was the "Not Now" film that I mentioned a few weeks ago and that I re-shelved).

working with cinema manipulations (I took some time on that, I only produced one or two videos).

soon I will do another season of Lentidões Amazônicas (I ended up producing two seasons!).

I just finished a short that I hope to talk more about soon (the short is "The Great Garden", which I mentioned recently)

songs from Coletivo 91, as usual (new EP will be out in October).

And I didn't mention at the time that I'm going to produce a music video for every Coletivo 91 song (except soundtrack songs). I had not mentioned it because this idea came only later

[izzyspussy]

Let me count the ways.....

Curse The Messenger: Do TERFs count as people...? They're going to have an issue with the fact that Eddie and Jessica are both lesbians even though Jessica is a whole trans. (I mean the whole thing is about as anti-TERF as you can get anyway, but I'm fully aware they don't have reading comprehension so I'm expecting it to go over their heads lol.) People will also get horsey about Fred using neopronouns, but tbh those people are just TERF Lite. Someone will probably accuse me of queerbaiting because Fred's AGAB will never be mentioned and xyr gender won't be explicitly labeled, and also xe're aroace which is enough on its own lmfao but that also probably won't be explicitly labeled. Oh also because Eddie and Jessica break up. It may or may not be said that I fridged Maddie and Dido, but at least in Dido's case that's not an unfair assumption at this point. People might try to say it's transphobic that Jessica tops. People might also say the relationship is abusive because they have kinky D/s sex. Might be accused of misogyny/lesbophobia because Eddie makes bad decisions and is Not Nice and has problems. People (racists) will find reasons to dislike Jessica, and one of them will probably be that she moved on from Maddie too quickly after her death. Sadly there is no white woman for them to decide Eddie should be with instead :'( People will pretend everyone is skinny (only Fred is, in this one) and probably whitewash them too. There might be some Fred/Eddie shipping, in which case people who ship that will of course be accused of perpetrating/celebrating/getting off on real actual real life incest for real in real life.

Gilded Verdict: LOL it's villain protagonists baby!! People will say I'm an abuse apologist, they will fight with each other about whether Evan or Lily is The Abuser (they both are), the prison abolitionism and ACAB-ism and the condemnation of judicial racism and prison slavery and profit motivated politics will go over people's heads and they'll instead say I glorified those things (because Evan gets mad pussy while doing them, and since all fiction is morality fable that should be taken as a reward for his behavior and therefore encouragement to replicate it /s). Also people will be so so so scared and catholic about the fact that the fictional sex the bad guys are having is written to be titillating and sexy to read, because they are doing it like bad guys and would be bad to do in real life (despite the fact that it is, in fact, completely impossible to do in real life) so obviously it's also bad to think about - especially if you're thinking hornily. There isn't technically cannibalism (except incidentally lol), but the Vibe is gonna be a lot like Hannibal so I expect similar stuff to what that got. There will be some people saying I'm trying to redeem Lily by making her in love / also a victim. There will be some people saying I'm villainizing abuse victims and she should be a good guy. People will say she and/or Evan have PDs, and other people will say that's an ableist thing to think. There will be butthurt white people twisting themselves in knots trying to find some way to say I'm Racist Actually without showing their hand because these two are the only white people who haven't been murdered (yet). There will be more talk of queerbaiting because Evan is bi but elects not to act on it for sociopolitical reasons. There will be accusations of biphobia because of that also. People will want to fuck them both in fiction, and other people will accuse them of being real actual abusers/racists/transphobes/capitalists for real in real life.

The Vanishing Point: Some people will insist Angel is also an abuser (he's not). Some people will insist Dido is an abuser (she's not). Some people will be so fucking mad that Dido has actual schizophrenia for real and magic / the power of true love can't fix it. I can't go into detail here because there are some spoilers I wanna keep close to my chest for this one, but rest assured a lot of people will hate Dido's fucking guts. Perhaps even the same people who thought she was fridged for CTM will fervently claim she deserves to die and go to hell forever. Other people will call those people misogynists because they obviously believe that women [spoiler]. Will once again get accused of queerbaiting because Angel is bi but in a committed, exclusive, long term relationship with a woman. People will metaphorically fist fight each other in Denny's parking lots over whether or not Angel is a good dad (he's not, but he's trying his best). If the series is popular enough, some people will be BIG mad I set up not one but two cliffhangers and then published a prequel lol. Look at my nonlinear narrative boy. And Ferris uses it/its pronouns. Oh! And I might get accused of being a MRA because in this fictional subculture of a fictional society on a fictional world misandry exists sometimes.

Latchkey Craft: Some people still discourse about if polyamory is, like, morally okay or whatever. If you can believe it. Anyway, Angel is polyfidelious with two other men both of which are nonbinary and one of which whose pronouns change, so that'll be another thing for TERF Lites to shit over. Jessica is also revealed to be polyamorous in this one. People will say she was cheating on Eddie all along (she wasn't). Eddie and Jessica will get back together but their problems won't be solved, which will be called either romanticizing unhealthy relationships and/or lesbophobia and/or racism. The good dad v bad dad debate continues. Some people will think [spoiler] is too happy, which honestly fair, but they will also insist it's poorly done despite it having been set up to happen all the way from CTM because it's not to their taste. Other people will find some way to make those people's dislike into bigotry somehow. Some people might say it's racist because Jessica kills someone. With a gun! Some people will think [different spoiler] is too sad, which I will privately snicker about like an evil little guy. Queerbaiting again because Angel ends the series single. There will be a revenge v justice battle about Lily being killed (unforch these concepts are not mutually exclusive so that will be quite fruitless, and never ending). Some people might be disappointed that Fred doesn't confront Angel on-page. I preemptively invite those people to write fanfiction. People will White Knight about Kapua and Wapo.

Not connected to any book of the series in particular, but I'm also expecting people to harass me to come out despite the fact that I already am lmfao.

In actuality though tbh I don't expect to get popular enough to have discourse. But wouldn't that be cool though? For a variable definition of 'cool' I suppose lmfao.

Ok I have a general #wipwednesday question for any writer who sees this and wants to participate. Reblog this and tell me what the social media discourse/controversy is going to be about your WIP when it gets published.

[fagcrisis]

i am asking abt funerals. my starwars knowledge is tiny but my interest in fictional funerals is large please do tell

THIS GOT INCREDIBLY LONG I APOLOGIZE

okayokayokay. i actually had multiple extremely long posts about this on my old blog but theyre like lost media (unless some of my old star wars mutuals have them but i think only like, nick and lucky remain)

coruscant is the capital city of the galactic republic in star wars, and i mean that literally, because the entire planet down to the core and up to the very border of the atmosphere it is a city. it was originally inhabited by zhells and taungs, the latter being the spiritual (if not biological) ancestors of the mandalorians, who lay claim to the planet city because of this connection and its the cause of their conflict with the republic. stream vode an

theres a criminal lack of stories that utilize the incredible potential coruscant has (in my humble opinion), save for one legends book i havent read and a level in a game i havent played. i think coruscant being the melting pot for the entire galaxy's cultures and species could create really interesting areas and conflicts that would be worth exploring if star wars was good instead of very bad (except for andor). i also had a series of posts theorizing about different districts having humidity controlled and even flooded districts, areas where the air is not filled with oxygen and so on. me and @katschipper have an oc named kees, they're an ex jedi turned pizza delivery guy and i would also love to talk more about him and the conflicts and such he encounters (id also love to write things with him but we cant have everything im a busy man)

so anyway now that you have context. coruscant is a planet city with either trillions (canon) or one trillion (legends) inhabitants. law enforcement is shown to be ineffective at the best of times, and straight up replaced with jedi in some cases (you should ask me about my thoughts on this also) and even if they were effective, acab. crime and poverty run rampant through the city, housing is a nightmare, healthcare is basically nonexistent in the lower levels, the corpse per hour ratio must be INSANE. where the fuck do they put all the corpses

we very rarely see funerals in star wars, and save for a few theyre almost all jedi funerals. the jedi also have interesting funerary rites you should ALSO ask me about, by the way, and ive heard there is a great funeral scene in andor but ive yet to watch andor (im on it guys). the only funeral that actually takes place on coruscant that i know of, is in the clone wars and it's a jedi funeral. so beyond this point is purely headcanon zone

because on coruscant social standing is extremely linearly tied to the levels, i came up with two main places where people are laid to rest.

the first is necropolis districts. because coruscant originally was just a planet like any other, populated by the ancestors of humanoid species and more specifically mandalorians im assuming (based on my knowledge of mandalorian funerary rites, also super interesting, ask me about that) that some sort of mass grave situation must have been going on as that is how mandalorians bury their dead. after the taungs left and the city gradually enveloped more and more of the continents and eventually oceans, having cemetaries in every city must have become incredibly ineffective with the amount of dead

coruscant is comprised of levels that are split into districts. the lowest levels of the city are not officially inhabited, haunted by strange creatures and PROBABLY RADIATION ASK ME ABOUT NUCLEAR CORUSCANT. i think on every level there must exist one, if not more funeral district, a necropolis spanning half a continent housing more dead than the level has people. sanitation has to be on POINT in a city of this size, and due to space restrictions people cannot afford to not burn their dead. that is a right reserved only to the richest of the rich, just as sunlight and breathable air is. because coruscant is repeatedly shown to be a hypercapitalist society, taking inspiration from cyberpunk media (aka really weirdly orientalist i could also talk about this for ages) i'm assuming a space for the ashes of a loved one, or even a nameplate you can bring flowers to, is a luxury few can afford. the industry around death is massive with necropolis districts being surrounded on all sides by generations of families who have made their living off the funerary industry. funeral districts are not solemn, quite the opposite, bustling with life and new corpse deliveries to the incineration rooms every hour.

a moderately well off person living close enough to the surface to be able to dream of seeing the sky one day only has to start worrying about their final resting place probably around the time they retire, but for poorer families on the lower levels it is a constant worry just like making rent every day. diaspora species and cultures that require more complicated funerary rites have traditions that specifically grew around the restrictive laws of coruscant. ashes or the bodies of the desceased cannot be kept in the home, and being discovered with them after the allotted mourning time comes with a hefty fine or a long stay in a prison colony where your family will never get your body back from. certain workplaces offer insurance for your corpse up to 3 years after your death, so your family does not have to worry about the rent for your grave while they mourn, but obviously these jobs comes with a way higher risk of injury or death. when a child is born their parents have to consider where they will be buried. coruscant, the beating heart of the galaxy, is a planet obsessed with death.

as the skyscrapers of coruscants reach ever higher, and as the lower districts begin to be choked by their corpses the upper crust of coruscant must consider a new approach, and so as always, they turn to the sky

there are four naturally formed moons that orbit the planet, centax 1, 2 and 3 and Hesperidium. Centax one is a penal colony (also interesting but not relevant) 2 housed a jedi training facility for a bit and then palpatines weird ass legends bullshit, and 3 was blown up by the fucking yuuzhan vong i forgot that happened jesus christ star wars is stupid. the planet is also orbited by so many artificial moons and satellites to the point where direct entry to the athmospehere is a challenge and many ships just dock on stations around the planet and their passengers and cargo take shuttles to the surface.

i think there are maybe a dozen funeral stations orbiting coruscant taking away precious airspace from way more important things, where you can pick out of several options for your body after your death. these include being completely suspended in time, surgery on your barely cold body so you are even more beautiful and the people who visit the station (because im sure they do, its the weird ass shit rich people tend to do) can be jealous and marvel at how much better previous generations were. these stations are as much exhibitions of the wealth and power of the desceased, as places of mourning, if not more so.

if you really are rich, if your family has maintained their power and their money for enough generations, maybe you can be buried in real soil on centax 3 (before the yuuzhan vong blow it up) and brag about it to your less rich friends at parties, and list the benefits of natural decay to the environment, as you sip imported wine they made in the orphan crushing machine or something

regardless of social standing the obsession with death is rampant throughout coruscant and many people commit egregious crimes for their body to be disposed of exactly how they would like, even disregarding their actual life in the process. coruscanti movies and books and music are extremely concerned with the subject and many romance movies are about couples dying together on their own terms or someone attempting to bury their beloved according to their wishes. sanitation workers are somehwat demonized due to this. many parents wish their child would be born force sensitive, so they can be buried in the jedi temple with their body intact, instead of whatever fate they will have as a civilian. many of the pushback against the clone army when they were initially introduced to the public was due to the fact that many generations grew up romanticizing the warriors who fell in the mandalorian wars and were buried on other planets in real soil

its been a bit since i wrote star wars meta but man i fucking missed it! as always you are welcome to argue with me about any of the points brought up (in fact please do) and if youre interested in anything i mentioned here i love to talk about the version of star wars that lives in my head and is good instead of bad. i swear i will watch andor

[arbitrarygreay]

I watched all of Killjoys with @mimeparadox! - This being my third time through seasons 1 and 2, I probably enjoyed Dutch-D'avin the most I ever have, really seeing what the show was trying to convey with that relationship. That said, I still do not like the show's attempt to make them do insipid romantic fluff at the end of S4 and S5. They still work best as comrades. - There is no best season of the show. S2=S3=S4 > S1 > S5. S2 is the best the show does with its class conflicts, having discarded the Pretty People Dramz of S1. S3 is the most coherent in its character themes, everything lensed through the tragedy of Dutch and Aneela. S4 does the most payoff for all of the relationships in the show.

- Oh, poor S5. This is the first time I've rewatched it, and I did still have a good time. Basically, S5's weaknesses all have to do with it being the final season. The Prison arc is actually quite fun...so long as it has nothing to do with The Lady. In general, the show is not as good as when it remembers that they have to tie things up and finish off this alien invasion storyline. They're great at the serialized character/relationship elements, less good at the serialized plot parts. - The Prison arc shows that Lovretta could definitely be the showrunner for a classic spy competence porn show a la Nikita. - The Lady is still great as Khlyen's third failure as The Worst Dad to Murderous Teenage Daughter. The reason I love her as a garbage fave, whereas Angel's Connor is a (hah) narrative killjoy, is that The Lady's behavior does not cause the other characters to betray themselves. For the most part, The Lady incites the others to do more competence porn, whereas Connor just incited tedious interpersonal Dramz (with maybe the exception of the return of murderous Fred). - mimeparadox and I have discovered across watching multiple shows that the best character archetype is an ultra-competent slightly neurotic uptight character getting blindsided by their Feelings (bonus points if said Feelings are romantic). We have named this archetype Paris, named after Paris Gellar from Gilmore Girls. The Paris is such a powerful type, especially as a Big Bad, that Killjoys does it twice in a row, with Aneela and The Lady. - Intriguingly, I finally saw what the show was trying to do with a series-long arc for Johnny. - In S1, the seeds are planted for the fact that Johnny wants to do more than survive, he wants to have a stronger emotional anchor than just being with Dutch (he is Dutch's gravity, but the reverse isn't true). In S1, this manifests in his being intrigued by Scarback spirituality. In S2, this manifests in his becoming more invested in Westerley's class politics (with Pawter) than Dutch's more self-centered investigation of the Hullen. And in S5, he decides that being a rootless Killjoy isn't viable in the long term. He doesn't want the warrant to be all. - Of course, the execution gets muddled, because Johnny on the mission Fun Train is entirely too compelling, as are his dynamics with everyone else on the team. Note how S3 and S4 aren't mentioned above, as in those seasons, with the exception of the Hackmod Arc, Johnny is focused on Dutch's war with Aneela and The Lady. The fact that there's no issue with the character dropping his series arc for two seasons shows that this arc isn't really critical to his character at all. - And that's exactly the conclusion that the show itself comes to, with the Oneyer absence tossed aside in the end for a "one for the road" of indefinite length. - Part of this, though, is not a betrayal of the series arc because at the end of the series, Johnny is not still simply a Killjoy, for whom the warrant is all. He's a new Level Six, and so has a purpose to genuinely care about (which also happens to enable his pursuing the other missions he wants on the side, like The Factory). - I got a better sense for Dutch's series long arc, too, which was really interesting, because she is never actually a hero in her own motivation. She is basically selfishly motivated from beginning to end, but just slightly growing the circle of who she considers under her protection. Dutch's driving motivation at the beginning of the series is to flee anything that might impinge on her personal freedom. Then, she decides to fight back instead of flee, which means that she seeks having just enough power to do so. S4 is about how she balks at the responsibility that comes with it, which we discover is rooted in how she's having an identity crisis about her biological family. In S5, she comes to a more stable place in her identity and how much responsibility she's willing to take on to defend her home, but grapples with some of the remaining things impinging on her emotional freedom (the loss of the certainty of Johnny, and then cycle of Khlyen's abuse). - Which is to say, it's pretty cool that we get to have a science fiction where where the central protagonist gets to be basically a shameless charismatic hedonist. She's all but said that she's basically outsourced her morality to the rest of her team. This is a rare character complexity for any genre show protagonist, much less a lady. And it makes the writing extra impressive for setting up the plot and world so that such a protagonist gets guided into doing heroic actions entirely on following a selfish priority through the incentive gradients. - This is all really only possible because Turin is a good boss, though. If she had a RAC supervisor who played power politics with her, she'd be toast (and probably quit the RAC to fly away in a heartbeat). Of course, that Turin is a good boss is meant to illustrate how the RAC is a an outfit that takes in misfits, people who are loathe to (and already failed to) play traditional social politics as opposed to mere sportsmanship competition (thing-oriented people over person-oriented people). They have to be the kind of people who could ever believe that the Warrant is all in the first place. - Killjoys never truly grapples with its politics. I stand by my previous stance that this is a good thing, because the very core build of its protagonists prevents that. This show, ah, kind of embraces ACAB as a good thing, nothing of which to mention how Delle Seyah and Aneela becoming allies therefore results in a "yasss genocidal girlboss aristocracy slay" conclusion? ("Colonialism is good if they appoint an emotionally invested immigrant warlord as governor") - Killjoys' broader wonky politics doesn't bother me, because FUN TRAIN! DO NOT STOP THE FUN TRAIN!! Seriously, there were definitely plot holes in this show that never went away, and I did not really care because almost every given moment of the show was delightful. The lore of how Hullen/The Green worked was laughably inconsistent, and I did not really care because the lore was whatever it was at the moment to enable storylines that were really fun. In fact, joking about the inconsistency of the lore therefore became its own pleasure, because it still did not detract from my enjoyment of canon. Altered Carbon shows how the prestige version of Killjoys would have been no fun at all. Down with Prestige TV. Which isn't to say that I've changed my mind on character vs. world-building as source for plots! I remain dedicated to my apathy to Wynonna Earp, which is a show which nominally builds its world/plot to service character, but leaves me cold. What Killjoys has, in contrast, is a rock solid world-building foundation, and then we watch the fireworks of character reacting to the setting and each other, with characters themselves serving as expressions of world-building. This is why Killjoys' writing is weakest when it has to plot for the sake up wrapping up plot and character threads, instead of plot as per how character interactions with the world organically develop. The way this doesn't contradict with the above is that Killjoys firmly declares what parts of the world-building are really important, which is the setup of institutions that determines the power-dynamics between any two given characters. Plot elements that aren't about that can be wishy-washy without therefore making the characters look incompetent. (With the exception of "stick a knife in the necks of all of the Hullen already!" because that's a very tangible action anyone can do, as opposed a squishy genre detail.)

garrison "grady" oliver knox jr.

thirty two. podcast host. amateur sleuth. casey deidrick.

grady: [looks deeply into your eyes; pats your knee, sympathetically.] grady: “i don’t care.”

content warnings: mentions child neglect, parental abandonment, missing parent, (suspected) death of a parent, alcoholism.

dominant traits. opinionated, surface level arrogant, judgmental, creative, sarcastic, invasive, blunt/crass, antisocial, stubborn, self-aware, unyielding, grudge-holding, mouthy (read as: "brutally honest"), insensitive, protective, intuitive, reactive, self-reliant, observant, adaptable, impulsive.

fictional parallels. connor welsh (htgawm); jess mariano (gilmore girls); jughead jones (riverdale); stiles stilinski (teen wolf); nancy drew (cw nd); veronica mars (vm).

○ his name is grady. no one calls him garrison, not anymore. not since his mother was around. i say around, and not alive, because she isn't dead. just missing. a town native who moved away when she was pregnant with him, but brought a lot of the darker parts of miriam's well with her. he was raised on unfinished stories and embellished half truths about the place his mother grew up in─the place he eventually called home at fourteen─and, ultimately, is probably responsible for his interest in all things unexplained. and his father, well... his father is around georgia, somewhere, he supposes. they haven't spoken for a while. believe it of not, a relationship with your son doesn't cure at the bottom of a bottle.

○ his life pretty much always baseline sucks and his attitude and demeanor mirrors that. which is fine since grads is the type of guy who makes more acquaintances than he does friends. and even more enemies than that. he will casually put his nose in your business because "that’s my job" and he makes no apologies for who he is.

○ when he was younger he wanted to be a journalist, a photographer, and novelist and you can tell. too curious for his own good and heavily believes in not only checking his sources, but questioning everything. he's not afraid to stand up for the things he believes in or for the people he finds deserving of it, and has very little issue or care to what what consequences these actions might breed. he also may or may not be a coffee addict.

the corner booth at the local diner; twilight zone background noise; the smell of coffee seeping from moist skin; sweeping honesty; not only is the truth out there, but it also probably sucks; ring around the rosie was about the black plague; anti-social social club; dry sarcasm over milkshakes; swear jar that has his name on it; the company misery loves; mean nerd aesthetic; late nights in the studio with great music and a constant opinion.

plot hooks.

○ his family. well, his mother's family. the people she left behind, whatever's left of them. possibly an aunt (preferably his mother's twin, who he had no idea existed, so imagine that shock) who took him in when she went missing at fourteen and any potential children she might have? because cousin relationships are great and no one has your back or will kick your ass quite like family. can't imagine them being well off, more like town trash and maybe this aunt was the best of them. ○ veronica mars needs clients. ACAB indeed, but sometimes people need solutions to problems that a corrupted small-town government isn't capable (or willing) to get them. what does that mean? for the low price of [insert negotiation here] this knox boy will go out of his way to find the answers you need. husband fucking the secretary? photos will hold up nicely in divorce court─not to mention i'm a ~fantastic photographer. you get the idea. sure, it's not the prettiest (or cleanest) job, but it's easier to make money off liars, thieves, and cheating spouses than you might realize. especially in a small town with such an ugly history. ○ the unlucky barista/cashier/counter girl. it'd be nice to have a little back-and-forth relationship with someone who might work for his aunt? i imagined [his aunt] owns a coffee shop or cafe (or something of the sort) and he's always in there helping himself to free coffee and snacks and likes to poke and prod this person when he's bored via asking a million intrusive questions or just being his curious, obnoxious self. taken by noor ♡ ○ co-hosts of the night shift. well, it's not the doomsday podcast, certainly not with their following, but like a lot of people who find their way to miriam's well, they share the same basic general interest (unsolved mysteries, serial killers/true crime, paranormal/ghost hunting, lore, extraterrestrial, etc.) except, grady also likes to use his platform to bitch and moan about other things that happen in town. some topics more pointed than others, and often about public officials he has no business putting on the air and his fellow casters probably hate him doing. no one likes a target on their back. ○ pizza buddy + longtime friend. someone (preferably someone he considers close/from when he first moved to mw) who will go with him to flying saucers at two am for "out of stock" garlic knots (and/or an employee he bribes with🍃for said knots 👀) because he's an actual human garbage disposal and he hates himself just enough to like the aesthetic and that entire plot sounds fucking awesome?? bonus points if they both used to work there when they were younger, and now this shit is habit/a bastard tradition at this point. ○ doomsday descendants. characters who are part of the families who have abduction histories that he can interview and broadcast on his podcast─also pick their brain about every little detail and absolutely get on their nerves in some way or another.

[henriiiii-1001old]

decided i'd rb the original version with some reasoning and examples in case anyone is confused:

whenever a fandom tries to bring up acab in a series that never involves anything around it, it just seems insensitive, especially if the content around using acab uses jokes and shitposts. basically it's minimizing what acab actually is. like, someone once made a joke about "i like thatcher but i have to bully him because he's a cop." this one is honestly pretty harmless but still attributes itself to the minimization of the actual police brutality getting people killed today. like, he's a fictional character, he doesn't uphold very racist, very cruel, and very unjust police system in the real world.

another example would be someone writing in the tags of their post "acab except for ruth and thatcher because the mcpd isn't a real thing." this is just purely insensitive. acab shouldnt have any exceptions if you really wanna go that route, and excluding a few officers because they're "the good ones" doesn't mean anything. acab isnt directed towards the officers themselves but the system that they uphold. again, fictional characters do not do this. you're fine to like characters regardless of you supporting acab.

stop being weird about cop characters that live in a setting where acab is not a main issue in the series. yes, tmc has mentioned the police being incompetent, which is 100% true in regards to what happened to mark. however, vol 4 implies that thatcher probably doesn't actually still work there? i am still confused puely because thatcher still does investigations but dave says that he knows someone who "used to work at the police station". but that is purely off topic.

and again, you can enjoy cop characters. just dont be fuckign weird abt it by always having to say "but also acab" because it is minimizing the actual issue of police brutality.

again, thank you

PSA TMC FANDOM

hey ik i just rbed some (in which i am gonna go back and tag them in a it since i’m in a bit of a hurry), but tmc fandom could we PLEASE back off on the cop jokes? specifically the ones about acab?

it’s super insensitive in regards to the movement, and it almost sounds like we’re making fun of it.

like, if you’re stubborn enough to keep doing it then i can’t stop you. at LEAST tag it woth something like “cop joke” or smth so people can get that shit off their dash.

thank you

[bunnygirlrbs]

Listen to me.

Daichi Sawamura. Is possessive in the softest way.

He comes home one afternoon, after his morning shift ends, and he sees the tv is off. You're not in the kitchen, humming as you cook your mutual favorite lunch. There's no stereo playing the traffic report or weather report.

Something's off. The house isn't ever this unsettling and quiet. So after he removes his gun holster, his badge, and shoes and jacket, he makes his way to your shared bedroom.

And he hears something he hoped he'd never have to come home too. He hears you crying.

He knocks on the door, and he waits till you open the door. (Even if that takes a few minutes cause you're trying to calm yourself.)

You look so fragile, like a scared little deer in the headlights, to him. And he asks in the gentlest, warmest voice. "need a hug?" To which you nod, and melt into his broad, bulky stature.

He gently closes the door behind you both and sits you on the bed, so you're curled up like a little kitten, on his lap.

He helps you catch your breath, and waits till you give him a nod, letting him know he can ask what's wrong and what made you so upset.

Which he does ask you, very gently, still somewhat anxious that even his voice could shatter you like glass, if he wasn't quiet and soft enough.

And you tell him that while you'd gone grocery shopping, the clerk had asked you how your family was doing and you had brought up that your husband, Daichi, was doing his daily police patrols, and some nasty teenager or maybe the kid was in their early twenties, had started harassing you and belittling Daichi and you, and telling you all cops were pigs.

(LISTEN. I'M ALL ABOUT ACAB BUT DAICHI IS MY ACCEPTION.)

And it had really shaken you, since no one's ever had such a verbally violent reaction like that.

And Daichi is momentarily angry, that some stranger, especially some dumb kid, would even think that's okay. But he lets it go, and immediately starts soothing you.

With every soft kiss he gently presses to your lips / jaw / neck / collarbones, he's whispering praises to you and possessive words like "I'm yours, and I'm never letting anyone make us doubt that." And "I belong to you, and I'm not letting anyone rip us away from each other." And "Ya think I'd ever let anyone make you feel insecure in how much I fucking love you to death? Never. Fucking. Ever."

And now he's got you below him, and you're both only in undergarments. He's body worshipping you and whispering about how he'd remarry you a billion times over if he could, to show everyone that he's proud his soul is yours and only yours.

And when he's fucking into you, he's slow and careful at first, but then it becomes carnal and feral and protective. He doesn't care if the neighbors end up reporting a noise complaint. He's gonna make damn sure, that you're never this distraught, never this insecure, never this heavy hearted, or shaken up out of fear, ever again.

As He marks you up he's lost count of how many times you've cum on his thick cock, as he's cum inside of you. Three? Four? Maybe six? He doesn't care. All he knows is he's obsessed with you. He's addicted. He's really yours and you're really his. It drives him wild. It puts him in awe. And all he knows is he's gonna breed you for as long as he deems fit, and as many times as it takes.

He cums inside you again, and that's the one that makes him exhausted. He nestles his head into your neck, and he admired the little bulge in your tummy.

And you can bet your ass he's cockwarming you as you finally rest together.

DAICHIIIIIIIII 💝💕💞💘💕💝💞💕💘💝💕💞💝

I love himmmm ugh he would be so comforting 😭 and he’s so BEEFY he could go hard for so long and then he just collapses onto you like a weighted blanket while he’s still inside of you, keeping allllll his cum in 🥰

and yes acab except for my fictional police officer husband mr daichi sawamura thank you

[hale-of-stiles-heart]

I'm watching one of those b movie action thrillers or whatever and it's so dumb but I have a lot of thoughts

it's about a cop with a history of excessive violence who gets put on the case of a cop killer - and the audience is supposed to root for the cop lol

they showed the killer shoot a cop and go "die pig" and it was unintentionally hilarious

the new transfer to the police unit is a gay guy and all of the other cops (except the protagonist) treat him like shit bc of it

they fucking graffiti'd "Porter Nash sucks cock" in the bathroom like???? good one? ya really got him on that! congrats! y'all understand how gay sex works lol

the killer is played by the dude who played Baelish in GoT and he just shot a cop played by the guy who was Gendry in GoT - again, unintentionally hilarious

ok angry cop and gay cop are bonding

angry cop just showed up to gay cop's place totally outta the blue, criticized the fact he was eating a tv dinner and told him he needs to eat some real meat, then sat directly across from him with his legs spread ridiculously far apart

angry cop fell asleep in the chair and gay cop covered him with a blanket then cooked him breakfast

angry cop made a joke about gay cop trying to get with him the previous night and gay cop just went "I held myself back" and they both laughed

i stg I would lose my mind if this movie ended up having them hook up, like it would be so great

like yeah ACAB, including fictional cops ofc, but I think it'd be an interesting addition bc that's the kinda gay rep I think should be more common in movies - with it just happening rather than it being the focus the way they do it with straight or m/f relationships in movies

fuck I really am having too many thoughts about this dumb movie
