even if my predictions are wrong, the duffers use pretty on-the-nose christian symbolism in the show. a lot of western media does, actually
#will resurrection#el walking on water#henry has a mom whose name means virgin#theres your holy trinity#and theres a lot more#i mean the four vecna victims are the four horsemen of the apocalypse#but the duffers arent the only ones#the matrix has it#the lord of the rings has it#TERMINATOR HAS IT#like if you are offended by the show having christian symbolism then you should probably be offended with most of the western literary#and media canon

my favourite part of the Wayne Kids being, you know, the Waynes, and popular celebrities is the fact that these are teenagers and young adults who are given ... celebrity powers. and i know they're stupidly petty with them. every time you log onto twitter you'd see 3 of them engaged in a sibling argument, completely uncaring that it's being broadcasted to thousands of people
Dick, tweeting: Tim stole my sandwich today, hey siri how do i un-adopt a sibling?
Tim: ??? I didn't steal your sandwich??
Dick: Then who did??? It was there this morning and you were the only one in the manor the entire morning??
Tim: Dick, my unfortunately kind of favourite brother, I was not in the manor today
Dick: YOU WEREN'T?!?!?
Tim: no, I've been in my apartment all week. did you hallucinate me?? LMFAO
Cass: I was there this morning.
Dick: Oh. No wonder then??? You 2 look too similar, one of you needs to cut your hair
Tim: Not it
Cass: . . .
Tim: on second thought, maybe it's time for a haircut
Cass: :D <3
Tim: Love you too, Cass
Random Twitter User, quote tweeting the last tweet: So did you ever find out who took Dick's sandwich????
Cass: Jay did.
Dick: JAY DID?!?!?
Cass: Oh. Did you not know?
Dick: NO?!????
Cass: Oh. @/jason start running. Sorry.
Steph: Guys Jason might deadass die again Dick is ONTO him
Random Twitter User: ... Again?
Steph: hardly the point rn, jared
Babs: Why did Jason just climb in my window asking me to hide him
Tim: he's running from Dick, lol
Babs: Oh, why?
Tim: he ate his sandwich
Babs: Got it, he's hiding behind my couch now, screeching about Cass betraying him.
Dick: BABS DON'T MOVE. DON'T LET HIM LEAVE.

the question, you see, is not ‘is it too ooc for this character to cry’ but rather ‘what circumstances would push this character to cry’
this is the whump wisdom, go forth and make that character cry
#gav gab#‘it’s sooooooo ooc to make that character cry’ no you see I think it is ooc#to put this character through absolute unimaginable hell physically and emotionally#and NOT let them cry about it#sometimes canon framing and media format and genre#limit the ability to let a character emotionally Feel all the insanely traumatic shit that’s happened to them#that doesn’t mean that in a different medium or genre exploring these things#it would be ooc for them to do so#send tweet. let those characters feel and emote. it’s not ooc or cringe and anyone who tells you it is is a reductive dick

"how can you ship [x] when [y] is clearly going to be canon" is such a completely nonsensical question to me that i often forget that this is genuinely how some people do fandom
#maybe it's just being old enough that all my formative fandom experiences were for media with a 0.00% chance of a queer ship going canon#idk

man i feel bad for fans of the httyd movies who haven't seen the shows, especially race to the edge. like they don't know that the riders left berk and lived on an outpost together to go adventuring and fight dragon hunters as a team. they don't know that snotlout and astrid and fishlegs and the twins got character development. they don't know how cool and interesting the villains in the shows are compared to the movies. they don't know that the riders are filled with love and loyalty to each other and they bicker and train and play card games with each other and have sleepovers together and will risk their lives for their friends and their dragons in a heartbeat. imagine that.
#personal opinion but race to the edge is really the poster child of how tv shows based on movies should be done#new awesome looking dragons new compelling side characters new interesting villains#and i loved the redemption arcs we got#and i dont think i have to say how good the shows did snotlout#and they fit into canon!#mostly#anyway i love them. the riders are my favourite found family in any media ever#httyd#rtte#how to train your dragon#race to the edge#rob#dob

hey magheads, just quickly reminding everyone that ink5oul uses they/them pronouns. they have been spoken about in the third-person extensively with only gender neutral language. we're all going to stick to that, right? we aren't going to mysteriously start using gendered language after learning their legal name and hearing them speak for a long period of time, right?
#it's great when media has canonically nonbinary characters#but the drawback is that people always seem to Mysteriously Misremember hearing gendered pronouns. for no particular reason.#I love you ink5oul I love you ashes I love you ulysses I love you toy soldier I love you francis I love you adjudicator shrue#tmagp#tmagp spoilers#marina marvels at life

real footage of me watching everyone in the AAA fandom use 'older woman' and/or 'older witch' to describe Agatha during her interactions with Rio in canon universe Agathario fics like Rio isn't literal Death and as old as the universe itself while Agatha is a mere 352 years compared to her and hence younger than her (thus not being the 'older woman' between the two of them):
#medialiteracyisDEAD
#what's airi thinking? ⋆。‧˚ʚ🍓ɞ˚‧。⋆#agatha all along#agatha harkness#agathario#rio vidal#agatha x rio#agatha all along spoilers#agatha harkness x rio vidal#guys please#don't forget their age gap i beg#not to mention that Rio is canonically an inch or so taller than Agatha too#agatha harkness has mommy issues#ofc she fell for death#RIO IS OLDER !!#lady death#like pleaaasee#my bbg rio did not just spawn out of thin air after agatha was born#death has always existed#she probably just made herself a corporeal form for agatha and thats about it#but she's still older !!#just because Kathryn Hahn is older than Aubrey Plaza doesn't mean Agatha is older than Rio 😭#'rio put her hand on the older woman's face' shit man#didn't realize death came into existence because of agatha#id say this is a prime example of people losing media literacy#but who tf thinks a 352 yr old witch is older than someone whos been around since the start of time??#she wanted an older woman#let her have her older woman 😭

"it's true to me because I want it to be true" is great and fine and wonderful in the context of fiction, but you cannot under any circumstances deliberately confuse the issue by pretending or insisting or joking that it's actually a real part of the source material.
You have to acknowledge that a separation exists between what you have made up about the characters from nothing and what's actually included in the story as text or you lose all grasp on media literacy.

Holmes brothers make me absolutely insane.
Mycroft is extremely stable, he goes through the same routine at the same time every day. He has carefully built a life well suited to himself: he has his job, his community, and his hobbies all in the same quiet and contained place. While I would argue that his is by no means anti-social, (he likes people! He really really does!) he obviously has some difficulty adjusting to the outside world at large. But he’s smart as hell so he’s figured out a way to have everything he needs.
Sherlock has had to do the same thing but as someone who just can’t do stability. He needs adventure, purpose, intrigue. He has built a career for himself, found a home and a partner, and is really, really fucking good at what he does. But he can’t keep any of it. Watson gets married, Sherlock fakes his own death, and he leaves behind everything. He returns of course, his life shattering and reforming into similar shapes over and over, but for those three years he’s back to the most basic constants of his life. He has his mind, his competence, and Mycroft.
It’s heartbreaking that Sherlock does not confide in Watson during those three years, but on the other hand, if it could only be one person, who else could it be? Who else understands him without explanation? Without judgement? Mycroft has known him his whole fucking life, in all likelihood he could see Sherlock’s hiatus coming from a mile away.
Mycroft is the most consistent thing In Sherlock’s extremely inconsistent life, and vice versa. When Sherlock needs stability he looks to Mycroft, and when Mycroft needs energy/adventure he looks to Sherlock. They just get each other.
#(Sobbing on the floor) I like it when there’s siblings in media#Especially non-neurotypical siblings#sherlock holmes#acd holmes#acd canon#More to say on this but this is enough for now

Everybody's all "fuck canon", "death of the author", [insert Ron Swanson meme here] right up until the point that they realise they've sufficiently departed from the source material that they can no longer safely assume their target audience is already familiar with the basic premise, and that they've thereby put themselves in the position of actually having to write establishing scenes.
