LOU FERRIGNO JR. IN NIGHTSHADE (2022)

[antiadvil]

RPF stands for real person FACT. Every time you make Dan and Phil kiss in a fic they have to kiss in real life :(

I unironically love how blatantly late 80’s early 90’s all the brothers’ styles are in “The Clothes Don’t Make the Turtle” because like…of course those are their styles! The majority of the media they grew up adoring is heavily influenced by that time period, so it makes perfect sense that they all took inspiration from it. It’s honestly super cute to see, they’re such kids I swear.

youth pastor Lou Ferrigno Jr:

[plutobuckley]

(Stole this from someone on here but I'm not gonna tag them cause they were being mean and rude to the bucktommy fans in their post)

Not gonna lie, I giggled! Cause no matter how hard you hate, the people and fans you're hating will always look like the bigger person in the argument... why are you so mad over an interview that will probably, I don't know, be about experiencing the exploration of sexuality later on in life or just the overall storyline

It honestly just makes you look like bullies and I'm pretty sure the cast and crew don't side with things like that

Why can't we all just enjoy what is handed to us so far, I'm extremely pleased with what abc has done with this show, s7 is honestly top tier

[lover-of-mine]

I think purposely bad. And made worst. Because Tim didn't expect between episode 4 and 5 that those shippers would create a whole new character that never existed. Or that on the side Lou would financially gain and feed them head canons. So now he's like look... Don't you see he sucks.

I actually truly believe the medal ceremony was supposed to be his last scene of the season, then come back for an Ana style break-up. If you look at it organically, there was no reason for the daddy joke scene, and we know he wasn't supposed to be there. I think it was to create an off-putting scene where if he chooses, he could do an off-screen break up and avoid queer baiting accusations.

Lou has already created too much tension. He could still do a break up within a few episodes, but I'm not sure if Tim wants to have the head aches Lou brings... Closing down his cameo is the only reason I think he could be back for a bit. But if that's the case, then he definitely had a meeting, you know.

Okay, first of all, this may sound mean and not trying to and this isn't targeted to you I just keep seeing queerbaiting allegations and you used the word, but Buck is queer, the queerbaiting ship has sailed, a queer storyline not going the way we expected is not queerbaiting. Whatever they do with Buck's love life, there is no queerbaiting just because it feels unsatisfying to us. They marketed Buck as queer and Buck is bi. Not liking the way it was done doesn't change that.

But on the Lou thing, I agree that they didn't plan on having Lou stick around for the whole season, but the relationship was better accepted than anticipated and they are capitalizing on it. Full conspiracy theory, but I think that with how Oliver refuses to talk about bt, and how Ryan changed his tune after 706, something happened behind the scenes that went against what they were told the beginning of the season, because again, a tv show is a living organism that needs to adapt to the circumstances in which is airing, bt brought audience, keep him around a bit longer. The kink scene was there to remind us of how bad Gerrard is, but we could've had that reminder happen with Chim or Hen, so yeah, he didn't have to be there, but keeping bt alive during the hiatus keeps the numbers up while giving shippers time to cool off. And considering the publicity that came with Buck being bi, if they are planning on eventually getting to buddie, they are probably anticipating a similar level of publicity to come from queer Eddie, so they spaced it out to get the most out of both arcs. Especially because queer Eddie has to mean canon buddie and that would break the internet. I don't blame Lou for trying to capitalize from the ship, it keeps him on the role longer and it is exposure, but obviously, there's controlled chaos brought on by the high of a confirmation that a character is queer and there's *gestures vaguely* whatever is going on. There is a chance T will get the Ali treatment, there's a chance he will get the Ana treatment, but there is also the chance he will get the Taylor treatment and stick around while being a bad match for Buck, we don't know the plan and we don't know if Lou created enough problems for them to want to write him off. T is being shown to us in a very specific way, but they can still turn it around if they chose to, because we don't know enough. He is in the same spot Taylor was during s4 so it will all depend on how he will be handled during s8. Sure fanon T is not the character that exists on the show and Lou's cameos probably were shut down because it was creating a level of expectation they didn't plan on delivering, but at this point it could still go in any direction, we can't say anything for sure.

I'm watching csi for the first time and I'm currently on s8 but I have a dumb question lol. why did sofia disappear without trace? is she coming back?

not a dumb question at all! This has never been properly explained (to my knowledge) they just yanked her away from us 😭

In all seriousness I suspect it was to do with budget, because they would have been paying her a main cast member salary, and possibly some other BTS logistical stuff. At that point they had a LOT of main cast members. I'm not sure if they knew Jorja was going to leave at the point where they would have been making the decisions about who to renew and stuff.

From a story POV, they literally never explain her leaving. As a whole they did a HUGE disservice to her character imo. They could have developed her a lot more and a lot better. I think because she was largely there, initially at least, to create tension between grissom and sara (a huge ick for me but we won't go into that) it caused a lot of fans not to warm to her at the time. And then in s6 and s7 I don't think they did enough with her character to make people (at the time) really feel strongly about her either way, so they just.... got rid of her. (last in, first out.) I'm still extremely bitter about this, as you can probably tell, because I TRULY think that she would have been a very beloved character if they just put in a little more work.

Also, we get little moments of her with Cat and Sara. But they def wanted to pit all the women against each other and I feel this could have... not happened. (This is a huge tangent, I am so sorry. But also I could talk about this for 5 days.)

To answer your question simply, yes, she comes back. More in depth answer below the cut but this will be minorly spoilery for you, so you can choose to read or not.

She comes back for ONE guest star towards the end of season 11. They SORT of explain where she's been, in that she's got a new rank when she comes back, deputy chief, so we can esentially say that she was away somewhere else climbing the ranks. I think we decided that deputy chief was one step below the under sheriff so she was doing SOMETHING to further her career in the 3-4 years that we didn't see her. But they don't really touch on it beyond that.

I’m so obsessed with the Mario family and while I’m a very hard Uncle Tony stan I’m also insanely obsessed with Auntie Marie and her daughter. I want to know all about them.

[kakusu-shipping]

A bunch of Mario Family headcanons:

Because I think a very normal amount about the larger Mario family and very very very much want The Super Mario Brothers Super Show Reboot all about them

G-Poppy and his wife moved to American from Italy in their 20′s, making Mario and Luigi third generation immigrants

G-Poppy’s dream was to own and run an authentic Italian a Restaurant in America, but after the birth of his oldest son, Pio, the need for quick cash to pay rent was more pressing, thus why he got into Boxing

Papa Mario’s full name is Pio Mario Jr, he’s named after G-Poppy

Pio is a good 5-6 years older than his younger brothers, Arthur and Tony, who are only a year apart at most

Sense bills were tight, Pio spent a lot of his childhood being another income to the house hold, working hard labor work like construction to keep the family afloat while his brothers were young

Eventually G-Poppy got too old for wrestling and finally realized his dream of opening a Restaurant; Punch-Out Pizza. This put the family in more financial struggle, forcing Pio to take up more work while Arthur and Tony helped in the Restaurant

Now that G-Poppy is retired Arthur and Tony run the business together. Arthur’s the finance guy, where Tony runs deliveries and hands on manages other employees

It was actually their Grandmother who made Mario and Luigi’s caps for them, she’s also made G-Poppy’s. She passed before Louisiana was born, thus why she couldn’t make her a cap as well

Tony’s a huge horror movie buff, he loves old classics and has a huge VHS collection. Part of the reason Luigi is so scared of the paranormal is from catching glimpses or watching whole movies with Uncle Tony growing up

Another big part of Luigi’s fear though may just come from Uncle Tony loving to scare him. A big pass time for Tony was waiting around corners in Halloween masks to jump scare Luigi, or telling him ghost stories any change he got

Mario also got a bad fear from Uncle Tony’s movies; Pianos. He’d just happened to catch a pretty nasty scene of the lid of a Grand Piano crushing someone when he was younger and it stuck with him pretty hard

Louisiana is about 11-12 years younger than Mario and Luigi, so despite being cousins the three have a hard time relating to one another from the large age gap

Louisiana prefers to go by Louise, though only Mario and Luigi call her that. She was also the first one in the family to use the “Lou” nickname for Luigi, which Mario quickly also picked up

Arthur loves baseball, the Mets especially, but really he’ll watch any team play. He regrets not being on his school’s baseball team when he was younger, due to having to help at the restaurant, thus why he signed his daughter Louisiana up as soon as she was old enough. She’s stuck with it to keep her dad happy

Mia makes 90% of the meals in the Mario household, with the occasional help from Arthur. She learned most her dishes from her own mom, and a good deal more from Pio’s mother after marrying into the family

Marie is absolute rubbish in the kitchen. Mia’s given her multiple lessons and had her help with dinner many times around when she was expecting Louisiana, but she rarely made anything edible. The only one who ate her meals was Arthur, who just wanted to support his wife with all he had, even if it made him ill (which it did. Many times. Tony made fun of him for it)

Tony loves to work on machinery, mostly motorcycles, and has bounced around working part time as a mechanic here and there before his duties at the restaurant drag him back

Pio, Tony, and Mario are the only ones in the Mario family with a drivers license, though Tony was the only one who drove regularly until Mario bought the van

The Mario family owns 4 gaming devices; The Brother’s NES that they bought with their saved up chore money in Middle School, a Wii Marie and Mia do Wii Fit on in the living room, Uncle Tony’s PS2 that’s mostly collecting dust, and the Home Computer that Louise plays Roblox and Minecraft on

The Mario family apartment has 3 bedrooms; Pio and Mia’s, Arthur Marie and Louise’s, and Mario and Luigi’s. G-Poppy sleeps on a chair in the living room, and Tony sleeps on the couch

Louise has already called dibs on Mario and Luigi’s room when they move out, Tony says he prefers the couch anyway so he doesn’t mind

Pio pushes a lot of his own raising onto Mario, as the oldest he thinks Mario should be responsible, a support for the family, not chasing his own crazy dream that could crash down onto them into debt

On the flip side, Arthur puts a lot of what he wanted for himself onto Louisiana, pushing her to do new things and plays sports and do after school activities like he never got to do having to work in the Restaurant growing up

Tony’s the only one he sees this happening, and thus has stayed the fun uncle who’ll get you out of that thing you don’t want to do if asked. He’s listened to a lot of vents from the kids as he drives them from one activity to the next, and tries to remind them their parents are doing their best, and love them a lot. For everyone but Luigi that reminder fell on deaf ears

Shining Smooch Week | Day Four | Gothic

Color Scheme: Purple

"You bewitched me."

—Gomez, The Addams Family

For @shiningsmoochweek! I could hardly do anything but the pair that includes the witch, could I? And the prompt as well as their dynamic made me think of Gomez and Morticia's relationship, which I blatantly drew inspiration from for this piece.

[antiadvil]

earlier anon here, sorry that i upset you, i really didn't mean to. of course i want you to have fun! reading your other posts i had just kind of gotten the feeling that you were expecting to have *less* fun at the show than you'd have staying at home or doing something else, and that confused me. i'm sorry that your symptoms are so severe that even daylight is an issue (i have to admit, i did think "well there are a lot of events in daylight" before reading your reply). i really hope you find a remedy soon, and that the show will be easy on you!!

(prev ask)

i appreciate the well wishes. it's taken me a while to respond to this ask because i'm not really sure what to say beyond, i wouldn't be going if i didn't think i'd have fun. i'm going for the same reason as anyone else- i think it will be fun and i think the fun will be worth the downsides of going. i didn't include a disclaimer in my posts about the flash effects about how i was still looking forward to going because it didn't seem relevant? like if i wasn't looking forward to going i just... wouldn't. i have complicated feelings about the show because i'm unhappy with the way they've handled the flashing lights (dan tweeted that there were no strobe effects but the antwerp show displayed a warning saying there would be strobe lights) but i am still making plans to go and i'm very excited for them.

i don't feel that i owe anyone an explanation of my plans. i'm giving one anyways because, i don't know, maybe it will be educational or whatever. idk. i have a migraine and i haven't showered in like 3 days i'm going to bed

Just saw the most insane post I'm losing my mind

[female-buckets]

[buckera]

also I'm just generally sick of seeing an actor being shit on for not being attractive by -- whose standards?? cuz like, first of all no one's taste is a be-all and second of all, and this is the biggy, do you think that people you don't find attractive shouldn't be queer rep?

or do you think someone's attractiveness has something to do with their validity in their identity in any way, shape, or form?

[butchwheels]

i have never been a part of the radfem community and obviously it's full of bigots and disgusting ideas. but sometimes i do wonder if cis women reforming radical feminism could have been more helpful to trans people, while also maintaining an a counterculture that defied mainstream feminism. i wonder if instead of giving up cis women could have worked to educate each other and figure out how to focus on more than sex-based oppression. maybe that's me being overly optimistic, but i wonder if abandoning the community just let bigots claim it while cis women patted themselves on the back instead of putting in the work to educate fellow radfems. also, historically activism labels have really helped feminism and i think we could benefit from them too in this era of watered down feminism!!! it's bad if radfems and tradfems are the only ones w a catchy name to rally behind
