horror is so BLESSED he's the only one out of the murder time trio that has actual good people trying to influence his story 💔💔 dust and killer were both driven to INSANITY because of the choices of their respective humans but horror??? every time without FAIL the polls for horrortale's plotline have always ended in a good place for aliza (either by bettering her relationships/reputation or for her to just. not DIE)

horrortale's potential alternate timelines my beLOVEd🙏🙏 they're SO lucky that we're being kind and benevolent hehe (≧ω≦) now where are the aus based off the possible different outcomes that could've happened in horrortale HUH???? (like how aliza couldve killed toriel or chosen horror's puzzle or gone with undyne to the core........)

Watching Wayward Pines for potential ST5 inspo bc the Duffers wrote a couple episodes in s1, and when I got to their second (last) episode and their name crossed the screen, I noticed a visual parallel that might already exist on the show…

Recognize it??

It instantly reminded me of that last shot for the opening of s3, with the landscape peaking out behind the Russian base. But when I went back and actually compared the two, holy shit it’s near identical, and not just the landscape.

I didn’t even remember the helicopter being there on the left, not to mention the pillar-esaue contraption at the center. Like… they’re the same picture.!

With them being credited right at that moment, it’s obvious this was an intentional nod to their previous work.

I just thought it was cool so I wanted to share, but in terms of my watch overall, there is a LOT going on that they could pull from. I’m only halfway through s1, though I’ve heard the show goes downhill in s2 so we’ll see how that goes 😂

Being introduced to Danny Phantom Phandom is giving me a lot of the same feelings for everything I liked about fandom!Akane Kurashiki...

Akane Kurashiki died when she was 12, but also she didn't. Akane Kurashiki was 12 years old and locked inside that incinerator, desperate to seek a way out but the code to open the door was a puzzle she didn't have enough information to solve. And in one timeline she burned to death in there as her brother pounded on the other side of the locked door and screamed, and in another timeline, she didn't.

Akane Kurashiki is twenty-one years old and she remembers dying when she was twelve. Because she's not just one Akane anymore. She and her brother showed psychic aptitude as children, so they were kidnapped, by a single-minded rich CEO who believed in an equation of crisis -> epiphany, that putting people under a pressure cooker of stress and danger would lead to their brains unlocking their psychic powers. And he was right, even more so than he imagined. Being trapped in there let Akane connect to the future. Her future. One where she didn't die. And she was able to see the different timeline paths that could be taken, and find the one that allowed her to live.

So she did. But once you figure out how to tap into the psychic fields that link all human beings, you don't just turn that off. You cultivate that ability. You use it. Akane Kurashiki got her ability to pull information across timeline branches and manipulate them the way she wanted to, and she's going to use that power to take down the men who did this to her. And to set up the future she saw, to give herself the information she needed to survive. But every time people make choices that put them on a path away from the future she saw, she remembers dying again. She starts retroactively dying again.

Schrodinger's cat is dead. Schrodinger's cat is alive. Schrodinger's cat is both alive and dead until you open the box and collapse the waveform see which it is. Akane Kurashiki is dead, and alive, and she is going to build the future she needs to close the loop and collapse the waveform her own damn self.

Sometimes I really wish the second half of KiraKira PreCure just didn't exist

HOTD Season 2 fucked up by giving Rhaena less screen time than the rat catcher's dog and by not introducing Nettles with the other dragon riders, but they can still make up for it in Season 3 by having Rhaena discover that Sheepstealer already has a rider and at first she's frustrated beyond belief while Nettles is suspicious that Rhaena wants to take Sheepstealer for herself, not helped by Rhaena knowing all the correct Valyrian commands and also more about dragons in general. And they just have a back and forth all season where Rhaena is trying to convince Nettles to join the war and also wants to know how she tamed Sheepstealer so that she claim a dragon as well, and Nettles learns some of the finer points of dragon training from Rhaena who's studied this all her life. There's at least one flight scene where they're on Sheepstealer together soaring through the clouds and there's a palpable Moment(TM) where Rhaena is clinging onto Nettles' waist as Nettles turns back to look at her in shared thrill and excitement. Of course the How To Train Your Dragon peace doesn't last, there's still a war on, but for one shining moment, there's just the two of them sharing in the joy of dragonflight, not as a sign of value or status or as a weapon of war, but just for its own sake.

I feel like since it’s like magical realism and unlikely to happen in real life due to the fucking magic and shit… time travel or reborn in a child’s body stuff sometimes has a character like “I am having a physical or emotional response that seems more in like with my physical age than my mental age”

Like Erased all the bonding moments, or like half the scenes where Aqua in Oshi no Ko acts like a teenaged boy. And I think in these magical body swap universes it’s less a commentary on “are these people perverts” and a lot more… like more than sexual attraction causes reactions.

Like in Erased he’s constantly scolding himself for being 29, but he’s not having his heart race because he’s crushing on another kid, he’s having his heart race because he’s a human making an emotional connection with another person and that’s an intimidate thing, entirely isolated from sexuality and even romance. It doesn’t have to be that kind of thing to move you.

And that’s why Aqua can be like “I don’t actually even understand what feelings I am experiencing in this moment” because honestly he is going through puberty *again* and fucking *trauma* and he hasn’t fucking talked to *anybody* about it. This man is a boy and a mental illness terrarium, and lying is his love language. I don’t know what’s gonna happen to him. They don’t set up a genius type character like this to not have something humble him with the bitter reality of something he can’t do anything about. I’d started reading the manga.

looking at golden cheese and in my head she would fucking love mariah carey songs you have to trust this shed blast fantasy on full speakers shes the friend that drives all of the ancients and puts on the most gorly pop music while pure vanilla white lily and holly sit in the back and dark cacao is the one who got drunk after a single shot after they went to the bar in some sort of modern college au
