#b99 theories

[corviiids]

tbh au where L just doesn't seem to zero in on light as kira at all and light is smug at first but then starts to get increasingly frustrated as L keeps taking swings and missing completely. gets kinda close and then announces the biggest suspect is sayu yagami. don't worry about the older one, he's just an ordinary boy. L never even makes contact. light's dropping signs and L is picking them up but completely misinterpreting them. light's like this guy's a fucking idiot lmfao?? i could get away with this forever. but then he gets bored with no one to play with and he's irritated that L keeps giving credit to every random idiot for being kira. light starts dropping more and more brazen clues trying to see if this stupid detective can take a hint and then L arrests him off the massive trail of evidence he's been leaving for months

Tim: Dammit, Stephanie!

Tim: Jason, as you know, my fountain pen is being re-nibbed in Germany.

Jason: Yes, it's all no one is talking about.

Tim: Due to it's absence, I borrowed Damian's favorite pen and... I lost it.

Jason: That pen is his best friend. I'm not even saying that as an insult, I've heard him say it.

Me and my sibling, @arizonaicedfreak, made a full chart tonight detailing different characters under color tropes and how those tropes change if they’re a man, a woman, or evil. Please reblog with characters you think are different colors because the list needs to grow.

This took us like three hours and lots of stimming but we got there

Matpat is just IRL Jake Peralta.

[mumblingsofanerd]

Randomly thinking about how weird it is that Jake and Amy are by far my favorite sitcom couple when I never like the main couple in a sitcom the most and while a lot of that is just personal taste I think there are a couple of things B99 does very well just like structurally with their relationship.

For one they don't start off in love. While they start hinting pretty earlier that there might be something more to the relationships then the friendly rivalry both present S1 its not until the end of the season that Jake acknowledges or becomes aware of any interest in her "romantic styles" and Amy doesn't clearly show interest in him until she breaks up with Teddy. This is critical because it gives them time to build a dynamic and establish chemistry that feels authentic instead of the we open on one or both parties having some interest or crush on the other and almost all the chemistry comes from this supposed interest and/or history which mostly works but often leaves the relationship without a core of genuine compatibility which can make it hard to understand why the relationship is worth it when sitcom drama inevitably occurs. IMO Ross and Rachel and Lenard and Penny both suffer from this quite badly and Eric and Donna get it a little bit. The other thing I think B99 does quite well is Jake and Amy have relatively little drama directly with each other. They struggle with timing as one is dating someone else then the other and they have some concerns about potential fallout at work but direct fights with each other about things they do to each other a few and far between. This is one where I think Donna and Eric struggle, That 70s Show gets some leeway because part of the point is it's a teen relationship and they are figuring out some of this dating stuff and messing it up on the way but still so much of the drama is just Donna and Eric disagree about something and fight about it which is fine and reasonable, things happen in a relationship but so much of the drama and plot especially in the early seasons is just them so they fight episode after episode to a point where it can start to feel like do these two even actually get along? By comparison B99 does a good job of having enough other stuff going on that the relationship drama doesn't take up too much screen time and the couple can just like be convincingly in love instead of fighting all the time.

I don't know I'm sure this stuff isn't unique to B99 and Jake and Amy, as I said at the top a lot of my appreciation for the relationship is just that I'm personally really fond of their dynamic. Nor do I hate the counter examples I used I like the big bang theory, friends and that 70s show and I can appreciate all of the mentioned relationships they all have their moments even if none of them are my personal favorites but I'd never really thought about how the structure of B99 really helps to make Jake and Amy more compelling and I thought that was interesting

pov: remus, sirius and lily at the dentist's office and remus is hopped up on nitrous

nurse: here are the tools, doctor

remus: doctor *chuckles* its funny when people call dentists doctor

dentist after a long shift so he's tired and arrogant as fuck: we a r e doctors? we do four years of medical school

remus: yeah but its called "dental school"

*sirius smirking in the background with his hands crossed, fully aware of what's coming*

dentist: ..but we learn about the entire body

remus: yea but if you had cancer you wouldn't call a dentist

*lily glances at a grinning sirius, starting to get mildly concerned*

dentist: *getting increasingly exasperated* y'know its actually harder to get into dental school than medical school-

remus: well bc there are fewer dental schools lmao bc most people want to become actual doctors

lily: ohmygod-

sirius: YEAH YOU TELL HIM BABY

*the dentist and lily both glare at sirius*

dentist: that's ridiculous its not like we're college professors calling ourselves "doctors"

remus: not the same thing my friend-

dentist: well s u r e it is, when someone has a heart attack on a plane do they yell out "yo does anyone have an art history PhD?"

remus: a PhD is a dOCTORATE ITS LITERALLY D E S C R I B I N G A DOCTOR

lily, getting increasingly concerned: rem maybe we should calm down-

remus, now all fired up: nO THE PROBLEM HERE IS THAT MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS HAVE C O -OPTED THE WORD "DOCTOR"-

lily: remus-

remus: I KNOW WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE ANYTHING CAN MEAN ANYTHING, AND NOBODY EVEN CARES ABOUT ETYMOLO-

*lily shoves a piece of chocolate into his mouth to shut him up and looks at the dumbfounded doctor*

lily: ..yeah, heh, so insurance still covers this visit right-

*sirius wearing the widest shit eating grin*

sirius: i have never been more turned on in my entire life

lily: yeah neither of you are ever stepping out of the house again

THIS 100% HAPPENED AND I WILL NOT HEAR OTHERWISE.

[sitcomfanficmonth]

Do you like sitcoms? Do you wish that there was more fan content for a particular show / pairing on ao3? Do you enjoy writing for a sitcom fandom?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, Sitcom Fanfic Month is for you! The goal is to have a month entirely dedicated to works regarding a variety of sitcoms — Age and popularity of the show do not matter.

The event will be primarily prompt based, each date of the month having specific prompts assigned to them for those who are interested with the weekends being for people to catch up on reading all that was posted during the week. However, we’ll also have free days for people that don’t wish to feel constrained by the limitations of a prompt!

This is currently a work in progress, but we hope to have an official announcement ready soon. Feel free to follow for updates!

Incorrect B99 quote #13 (aka Rosa and Charles' friendship in the first seasons)

Charles: I made tea. Rosa: I don’t want tea. Charles: I did not make tea for you. This is my tea. Rosa: Then why are you telling me? Charles: It is a conversation starter. Rosa: That’s a lousy conversation starter. Charles: Oh, is it? We are conversing. Checkmate.

I remember discovering B99 way back 2018 because someone theorized here on tumblr that it was deliberate that Gina chose to wear a white gown because she knows that something disastrous will likely come up on the day of Jake and Amy's wedding day

friends to himym to new girl are like. shows for each decade from the 90s to the 2010s that are literally just about people who are friends living life together. obviously himym has the "dad telling his kids the story of his life" but its really mostly just about the characters living life without a super big hook like scrubs, community, the office, or the good place

also super interesting to me that they really all ran for about a decade like friends was 1994-2004, himym picks up immediately after with 2005-2014 and new girl is 2011-2018. friends is pretty 90s most of the time, himym's in the middle but was mostly a 2000s show, and new girl is firmly a 2010s show

SOMETHING ELSE I REALIZED while writing this post was that they kind of show the shift between sitcoms with laugh tracks and sitcoms without ones. friends is pretty clowned on now for the laugh track but at least it's an actual live audience unlike the nickelodeon/ disney ones, himym was edited first and then shown to a studio audience but the laugh track is noticeably quieter than friends's track, and new girl is a single cam like most sitcoms now are

does seinfeld count as a show that's really just about people living their lives???? i haven't seen all of it but from the like 1.5 seasons ive seen i think it does???? and it started in 1989 up to like 1998 but that feels like a 90s thing to me

sorry for how long this is i was having Thoughts
