the children* yearn for the fic snippets

*myself and our mutuals who love your writing

i know this was probably about the sheppard becomes a bad guy snippet i just posted but idc i'm taking this as permission to post another snippet bc this is my blog and i make the rules anyways this is from idk rodney's parents or something

"Mother. Father. I wasn't expecting to see you here." Rodney spoke stiffly, addressing the older couple in front of them. There was an edge of panic in his voice that only ever came out when things were seriously bad. John glanced at Ronon, pleased to see a lethal expression on his face as he watched Rodney's parents.

"Of course you weren't, because you couldn't be bothered to invite us. Was it because you're too stupid to remember, or too terrible of a child to want us here?"

"No, it's not that-"

"Don't argue with your mother. You should be apologizing to her, do you know how much we spent to come out here? And you couldn't even be bothered to give us a call. Ungrateful and inconsiderate as always, Meredith."

"I'm sorry," Rodney said immediately, looking down. John stared at him in shock- in all his years of know Rodney, the man had only apologized a handful of times, and only when he was dead wrong.

"And really, Meredith, an award on wormhole theory? Why are you wasting your life doing such useless things? Why can't you do something good with yourself for once?"

"It's not-"

"Don't argue with your father. He only wants what's best for you, you should listen to him. Why can't you be more like Jeannie?"

does absolutely baffle me when people are like. buck's an adult!!! why would he not be sure of his own feelings!!!! first of all, super infantilising towards people with mental health issues and who struggle with recognising and naming their emotions. but i already made that post. so SECOND OF ALL. like, did you—did you watch the show? at all. because this is an issue clearly born from trauma that we saw on our screens. in front of our eyes. hello??????? you can trace it right back to his childhood. when his feelings were consistently dismissed. when he was made to feel like his feelings were wrong and imagined. and you can follow it right into adulthood too. buck spent so much of his life feeling abandoned, neglected, like nothing he did was ever right or good enough. all the while his parents were acting like nothing was wrong. buck was feeling all of these very real, horrible things. but he was made to feel like they weren't real. that they weren't valid. like it was all imagined. like he couldn't trust his own emotions. he was lied to for years and years. he second-guesses his feelings and misinterprets or misplaces them because he was consistently made to believe he could not trust his own feelings. so well. OF COURSE he's not sure. of course he struggles to recognise his own feelings. and even when he DOES. he can’t trust them. gets it all mixed up. needs someone else to tell him what he's feeling. to confirm or deny it. (and sometimes those people are. bad at it.) because how does he know??? how is he supposed to know when he has no blueprint??? how is he supposed to trust his own feelings when they've been so often dismissed???

i just replayed Turnabout Succession and here are some moments between the Gavins that made me go crazyinsane

[subwaylesbians]

masai condescendingly referring to cleon as “miss”, and then a moment later cleon using it as an honorific when referring to cyrus, is such a slick way of acknowledging his hypocrisy without so much as breaking the flow of her argument

Fitzier thought of the day is that James must have tried, probably quite hard, to befriend Francis, before we meet them at the start of the series. I don't think he ever liked Francis, their temperaments are too different for that (before going thru the horrors), but Francis is his senior on the expedition and James thrives by ensuring that he is liked by those in power around him, by ensuring that he is useful to them so that none look too closely at his gilded exterior to notice what it hides underneath. Sure he is shielded by Sir John, he does not report directly to Francis, but even then it goes against his entire survival strategy to be that openly hostile and rude towards anybody, even someone he can barely stand.

Which means, he must have tried with Francis, and probably tried again when his initial efforts failed, only to be met with utter disdain. And if your life is built around a lie you must hide at all costs and if the second in command is an Arctic veteran and a far superior sailor than you will ever be, if he rebuffs all your attempts at friendship and looks at you with that disdain—what do you feel except that you are seen for exactly what you are and rightfully condemned?

I think James hates Francis with everything he has because he would desperately like to believe that he is brave and clever and accomplished, that he deserves fame and success, and equally knows deep down, perhaps too deep down for conscious awareness, that he isn't, he doesn't, and he never will be.

MK is a cool character and the fandom rightfully likes him very much but sometimes I think people forget he’s not supposed to be a character meant for self-inserting who’s only purpose is to get stronger so the viewer can vicariously live through his exploits and instead is very much a full-fledged individual with a personality and flaws and traumas, and not a mere vessel for audience wish fulfillment.

“MK should have had the Golden Cicada's power!” “MK should've learned umbrakinesis from Macaque!” “MK should be stronger than Sun Wukong!” “MK should go insane and beat everyone up!”

And I wonder if maybe these people wouldn't be happier just watching Dragon Ball Z because the end character they want never ends up being “MK” or “Qi Xiaotian” or even “The Harbinger of Chaos.”

It's Diet Goku (TM) with a side of angst.

And I just think there’s a lot more to be explored with him beyond constant power-ups fueled by angst-filled near-apocalypses.

just thinking about how despite AtS trying to portray it as comedic bickering amongst bros, Spike actually has decades worth of reasons to hate Angel, while Angel has remarkably few reasons to hate Spike. And it should maybe be concerning that from School Hard on, Angel adopts an absolute "don't see what this has to do with me" reaction to him?

Okay I’m sorry but I feel like people are missing the point of Jace’s speech!!! The whole point of this conversation is about his insecurities and how he views his bastardy.

Do I think he should be insulting the small folk? No. But I don’t think you guys understand- people viewing Jace and his siblings as bastards and unworthy of the throne is quite literally now where introduced to Joffrey and him.

The topic of being a bastard is so prominent to his character! Throughout the first season Jace is constantly reminded that he’s a bastard and how ‘strong’ he is. Him being a bastard has caused problems in the past as well.

—> During the fight with Aemond, he’s reminded of Harwin being dead and also Aemond calling Jace a bastard (fight inevitable led to Luke cutting out Aemonds eye —> Aemond killing Luke).

—> During the aftermath of this fight, the topic of Luke and Jace being bastard is really prominent and it’s being thrown around the room for everyone to see and hear. I can’t imagine how embarrassing it must be for your cousins to be like “just look at them, everyone already knows”.

—> having to watch his brother fight for his legitimacy in front of the entire court room. Seeing a man call your mother a whore, and than watching that same man be beheaded (and he’s legally ur uncle too lol).

—> Him asking Rhaenyra with so much contempt if he was a bastard.

There is more examples of his, Luke and Joffs parentage being consistently mentioned throughout the show but those are some examples.

So, here is Jace who has quite literally watched his, his family and especially his mothers claim be put in question and almost taken away because of his existence- and than here he is seeing other Targaryen bastards being able to claim a dragon.

He even says it during the argument, that him having a dragon makes his claim legitimate. But seeing all these other people claim a dragon, well what does it mean?? This is backed up in season one when Alicent mentions to Viserys (or maybe Cole? My memories a bit foggy) that she’s surprised his dragon even hatched. Why?? Because he’s a bastard

I don’t think argument comes from hatred towards the small folk (although he used some colourful language…), I think it comes from so much built up resentment all coming out. I mean, what claim does he even have??? Wouldn’t everyone else also have a claim???

For so long he’s been so insecure about himself, about his future and about how others view him. This is really just him releasing his pent up anger towards a situation that’s never been able to leave him alone.

To those who have read Fire & Blood, than you understand that these words will quite literally come back to haunt the actions of the end of the dance.

Anyways that’s just my pov on this fight- Jace you will always be loved by me.

Thinking about how Claudia still views her brother like this

I don’t think she ever ever shook the image of her brother sick in bed struggling to live having to fight for every breath
