user3: the way franco was last season, i think he’d also like to take y/n off of alex’s hands too
user4: omggggg can you people let us have anything
yourusername: proudest big sister ever
yourusername: and wife i guess
yourusername: alex has been doing this long enough he can wait for the praise
alexalbon: i’ll let him get away with it this once just because it’s his debut
jackdoohan: you’re soooooooo generous alex!
alexalbon: i know this is sarcasm but i’m choosing to ignore that

user6: true i need his cute face back on the grid
alexalbon: never disrespect those doohan genes again

alexalbon: you’ll kill it dude, but i was referring to the fact that i am hopelessly in love with your sister
yourusername: doohan face card never declines
jackdoohan: 💅

f1newsandgossip: it’s being reported that both alex albon and max verstappen called a grid meeting to call out the exclusion of jack doohan. insiders state it got extremely heated, with alex albon not holding back.
view all comments
user31: i mean…. i have to agree with alex like that dinner was unnecessarily cruel
user32: it’s SO strange that they managed to invite all of the other rookies but not him
user33: if it’s not cruel it’s extremely negligent from the grid
user34: hey wasn’t george on some anti-bully tirade at the end of last season? what happened to that…
user35: he’s the head of the GDPA and likely was the one to organise this meal - he should know better
user36: if george did organise it and alex was as incensed as they say, it was BAD bad
user37: max standing up for jack is so needed thank you
user38: i mean we all know how max was treated as a rookie…
user39: and he was super chatty with jack at the photoshoot so at least he’s tried
user40: more than what some could say
user41: i think it’s crazy that the grid haven’t made an effort with jack considering they are constantly licking y/n’s ass trying to ride her coat tails
user42: SO TRUE
user43: they like the doohans so much that they’ll constantly use and wear her products, making sure to tag her but they can’t invite her brother to dinner?
user44: anyone seen those pictures kym illman posted of y/n on the phone in the paddock?
user45: baby was PISSED
user46: rightly so tbf
user47: the fact that both her and her dad ignored sky this morning >>>
user48: i mean, as they should, all they do is talk about franco when jack is on screen
user49: alex and jack coming in together this morning, both wearing doohan me merch …. kings
user50: the only positive from this meeting/ idk fight is the fact that a load of drivers flocked to alpine
user52: charles bringing leo ???
user53: took too long, but i’m glad they pulled their heads out of their asses

"Course we will." Beck grinned, nudging Ed's arm gently. "We have you. Everything and everyone's gonna be okay."
It sounded easy, the way Beck said it. Factual, immutably so. The sky was blue, water was wet, Ed would help fix the Grid.
Another engine rumbled into the driveway - old, loved, maintained with care but still not quite what it used to be. Sam bounded in, a bundle of fabric in his arms.
"Hi again Ed." He dropped the bundle in favour of giving Ed a quick hug, backing off again to sort through the old hoodies he'd brought. "I had an idea to hopefully help with the whole disguise and recognition thing."
All of the hoodies were a little ratty and a lot worn-in, whether it was the black Deadpool one with a messily patched hole in the elbow or the now-faded and incomprehensible graphics on an unusual shade of mustard.
"You don't normally wear hoodies, or at least not when out and about, right? So... these are all real thin, not too warm, and will be a little big on you. Even if someone sees you in the car, they'll probably not think it's you because you're not in your normal clothes - unless they see your face clearly, but having the hood up will mess with that and make it a lot harder." Sam chatted, laying the five he'd brought out for Ed to choose from. "Used to do this kind of thing all the time when I was tryin' not to get busted for going on the roof - works more often than you'd expect."
Ed huffed, stifled a laugh. It wasn't... bitter laughter, though it wasn't quite amusement, either. "Idiot beta, sounds about right," he said.
"As far as Peter... it's likely that may have been one of his programs? As I understand it, he was one of Encom's programmers, before he became Dillinger's assistant."
He stiffened at the contact, but it did manage to pull him back to the present. He turned from the cooler, back to the fridge. "I--I know. And... thank you. I know.... you're still recovering, and had probably hoped the peace would last a bit longer, but. I do appreciate you being here."
At least, Ed had hoped the peace would last longer. At least a few more months. If anyone deserved the time to recover in peace, if not to live out the rest of their runtime without any further disturbance, it was Tron. He hated that he was the one to disrupt it.
Ed retrieved his epinephrine auto injector. Thanks to Yori, he hadn't needed it in years, but he wasn't fool enough to leave home without it. He of course had another one in the small fridge under his desk, but he wouldn't have access to his office, but that was meant to be a backup, and it was better to stay in the habit of carrying one with him everywhere, anyway.
He retrieved the holster from the drawer next to the refrigerator, slipped the auto injector into it, and then clipped it to his belt.
"Anyway... anything you want, snacks for later?"

like a river runs
chapter 4 of 10, 6.9k read on ao3 | read from the beginning
It's been four days now since the plane landed, three since Buck had agreed to have dinner with Eddie and his wife, and about two minutes since he'd realized he has absolutely nothing to wear. Somehow it hadn't occurred to him until now that the only clothes he has left are the ones he carried with him on vacation—not exactly the kind of thing he'd choose for an evening like this.
He looks dejectedly at the pile of clothing strewn around him from where he’s sitting on the floor, pulls a t-shirt out of the mix and tosses it back down. It’s a pathetic little collection, but it’s all he has. Somewhere in the mess is one of Eddie’s shirts, thrown into the suitcase in part because it’s a nice colour and it looks good on him, and in smaller, secret part because it felt like being close to Eddie even from an ocean away. Now it just feels like sadness in the shape of a cotton-blend t-shirt.
With a heavy sigh he flops over backwards and stares up at the ceiling. Things sometimes seem more manageable from the floor—if only because you can’t get any lower—but after a few minutes he finds his life is just as fucked as it was when he was sitting upright. Maybe I’ll just lie here forever, he decides—though he figures Maddie might want her floor back someday.
He thinks about texting Eddie to call the whole thing off, like he’s almost done a dozen times since he agreed to it, then texts Hen instead.
11:06 a.m. [Buck]: are you busy today
11:08 a.m. [Hen]: no, whats up?
[Buck]: my entire wardrobe is vacation outfits now I’m stuck in an indefinite state of ‘guy who is going to the beach’ I can't live like this
[Hen]: so you want to go shopping
[Buck]: 🙏 also can you pick me up I don't have a car :(

EPISODE 6 THOUGHTS!
first of all, melissa and gen you guys are so insufferable i hope natalie gets her lick back. THE SHOVE??? OOOO DONT PISS ME OFF. however it is very relieving that nat getting beat like we all thought didn’t actually happen (and am hoping it stays that way.please.)
mari, someone who has always been a follower of power, choosing to sit with nat when she gains nothing from it is so important to me. she is silently and subtly saying “i know why you did it and i wouldn’t have been strong enough to do it. i see you and i hear you and i respect you.” mari ibarra thank you for that.
LOTTIE KEEPING AN EYE ON NAT THIS WHOLE SEASON AND IMMEDIATELY INTERVENING AND PUTTING SHAUNA IN POWER TO STOP HER FROM DOING SOMETHING DRASTIC TO PROTECT NAT??? THE LOTTIENAT COCAINE IS SO GOOD.
the screams. oh my god the screams were brilliant. to me, it was kind of a full circle moment of those screams being them all along. they were hearing themselves at the moment they finally reached no return. now i could be completely wrong and this could have some deeper meaning involving the birds or whatever, but right now that’s how i took it. either way, fucking BRILLIANT.
my babygirl. my natalie. oh they do not deserve you. what these people have put her through???? van saying she can’t make a choice like that??? last time i checked, you all deemed her your leader. she was the only one strong enough to do the right thing. that was her fucking dad. she sat with his body in shock for HOURS. she could barely walk. the lost look in her eye. the stammering. OH I JUST WANT TO HUG HER. and don’t get me started on how fucking cruel shauna was for making her butcher ben. argue that they made shauna take on the butcher role all you want but natalie never once forced her to do that shit, or anything for that matter. shauna has it out so bad for her over fucking power and it’s disgusting. i hope this is the last of her fucking tormenting her now that she’s finally got her little leader role. anyways…
BEN TRULY WAS THE BRIDGE TO CIVILIZATION. the irony of if he had just survived one more day they would’ve been rescued, but the birders never would have found them if he didn’t die because they wouldn’t have been ritualistically screaming around the fire. so fucking good.
Speaking of ritualistically screaming around the fire, finally seeing them truly unhinged to the point of no return, eating ben for the fuck of it, completely immersed in this lifestyle was SO SATISFYING. i’m so excited to see what’s to come for them, they’re so crazy i need them so bad.
Shauna immediately propositioning killing the birders in the ep 7 promo like i’m laughing she truly does not want to get rescued she’s like guys it’s my first day in charge please 😭😭😭
what do we think lottie saw before the birders arrived? and akilahs vision?? and could pit girl be the female birder?? this food is so good. (update: adding to this. I saw someone point out that travis and akilah also saw what lottie did which completely slipped my mind, so travis’ drawing could also be connected to that! so interesting.)
okay thats all i’ll say for now im rambling. nat screencaps will be up asap as always! <3

This is why I LOVE his evil/sl*t arc in season 2. His default without his soul or spirit is someone who is selfless and kind, someone who will risk himself for the sake of others without a second thought but one of the key themes of PTT as it goes on is that not everything is as it seems, and the ‘characters’ Drosselmeyer created are so much more human and beautifully flawed than he intended. My favorite part of Mytho over the course of the story is him regaining his humanity, and not just his emotions—but his ugliness as a human as well.
Prince Siegfried was someone who was never selfish, someone who would sacrifice himself again and again for others without a thought and as he regains his emotions you can see his original doubts and worries that he had smothered to be the perfect Prince peak through—how he resented his own weakness, his unhealthy determination to be a hero for others even at the detriment and beration of himself that it’s honestly really sad and cruel when you dive into it. When he’s fighting against the Raven Blood, he’s constantly saying things like “leave, foul Raven” when all he’d really done was display a desire to be loved selfishly. On one side of the coin he was a selfless prince who loved all, but deep inside there were parts of him that wanted to be loved back by all as well, and that isn’t a cruel or ugly feeling because it’s natural as a human to want love to be reciprocated!—but to Prince Siegfried who believed he couldn’t desire anything in his heroic pursuit, the simple thought of acting for the sake of receiving was probably so horrible and imperfect that he hid it away until the Raven Blood drew it all out and forced him to confront these desires. Why else would Raven Mytho only target those who admired him from afar, but never Ahiru? Because Ahiru has always honestly shown her love and care for him. For everything he gave, those he loved would not dare step forward to truly love him, but when his negativity is emphasized by the Raven’s blood, he can’t find it in him to hurt the people who have shown personal love and care back—being Fakir and Ahiru. I fully believe the Raven Mytho arc helped him come into his true humanity at the end—that he was a Prince, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t human, and that he could be selfish and the true route to a happy ending was never to sacrifice himself, but to push through as he is for the sake of others and his own well being and self respect. Loving all would be perfect, but loving without respecting and accepting your true self and your flaws won’t benefit anyone. The whole story his rebellions kept building up, his refusal to follow orders or what he was ‘meant’ to be or do and it finally crescendos at the end when he allows himself to be selfish and choose to love one person more than everyone else. It’s his true, real act of selfishness, but one he actively choose that defies every perfection Drosselmeyer wrote him to be, and in the end what shows how far he’s come in becoming a true human rather than a fairytale.
Rewatching Princess Tutu and yk how a lot of people think of Mytho as a character with no personality? I'm thinking that might not true at all even before he gets his heart shards back. He's lacking a lot of things but one thing he doesn't is kindness, something I think is his biggest and most important trait. Spraining his ankle to catch a girl who trips, diving out a window to catch a baby bird, even something simple like closing his book to give whoever is addressing him his full attention (Ig this one is more manners tho huh?)? He actually has to be instructed to stop being a hero bc the minute he is out of Rue & Fakir's sight he wanders into helping others. I REALLY like that we get to see him stripped down to his bare essentials because of his missing heart and almost wish we'd gotten one more episode of him completely shardless bc it doesn't last long (I wouldn't change it fr but just a thought)
With how indifferent and passive Mytho usually is, you'd think he'd watch a blaze go up and drift right by it but no! He'd rush in the minute he suspects someone or something is inside and it's part of the reason Fakir is so strict about where he is bc Mytho is a professional self sacrificial lamb (lack of better phrasing). Another thing I noticed abt him before he gets a shard is that he had a habit of rebelling in little ways, he is really obedient when the order is something to be done immediately, "Dance with me" for example but the minute he gets a longterm instruction like "dont wander off" he just...doesnt listen. Fakir is constantly running after him bc he'll just decide to be at an empty school at the crack of dawn or in the fucking woods. After Tutu starts collecting the shards for him he becomes more complex in thoughts and actions but those things never really change and it's so intriguing to me.
Fascinating boy I love him🥰

An honest ranking of the Crows from fav to least fav because I'm bored
Kaz and Inej. Tied for first place. Do NOT make me choose between these two because I, for the life of me, can't. It's physically impossible for me. They are both such iconic and unbelievable characters who reinvented literature. Both of them have insane depth, outstanding personalities, amazing stories, great dialogue, unforgettable and heart-wrenching scenes and backstories, and are the kind of characters you could analyze and talk about endlessly because they are just that fascinating!
Jesper. Second because listen, I love him. I adore him. He means the whole world to me. And most of all, he makes me feel seen because I relate the most with him out of any character. It's so easy to write off a character like him as nothing more than comedic relief, but he isn't. He is so complicated, he is so insecure, he makes so many mistakes and bad choices, he constantly feels like a disappointment, he can barely figure himself out, he can't for the life of him sit still, he wanders right back to what he assumes is his source of comfort, even though it's hurting him, it's so hard for him to break away from the people he loves because he ends up loving them too much. His cockiness and swagger is really his way of disguising what he actually is, which is a huge terrible mess. It's almost scary how much I see myself in him.
Nina. Third because duh, she's Nina. She's the greatest. (Not greater than the first three but you get the idea). She is someone I strive to be like. I adore her confidence, her boldness, her badassery, her free and fiery spirit, the way she's so unapologetically herself. She is proof the girls who are feminine can also be strong. But, of course, that isn't to say that Nina doesn't have weak spots. She does because like Inej, she too is a girl. She feels insecurity and humiliation. She feels rage and pain. Even miles away, she feels the cold fury of her instructor, Zoya, and like I said, it voices tiny thoughts of doubts in the back of Nina's mind. And best of all, she's insane, cause like, girl did shove the top of a gun into a woman's eye socket so... I love her.
Wylan. I'm so sorry Wy lovers, but he's fourth on my list. It took me a little while to start liking him the first time I read Six of Crows. He grew on me more during CK. He is amazing, don't get me wrong. He is the perfect balance between a character who sees the good in the world, the good in people, who doesn't like violence and destruction and noise, and is really a nice and polite guy who is curious about things and very smart and a character who is able to do violent things whenever it's necessary. He can be a tough little guy whenever he needs to be. I do love him a lot, but just not as much as the Crows I listed before him.
And finally Matthias at five. I am so sorry, but he is my least favorite. I do love him, I don't hate any of the Crows (That is a hate crime against humanity), but I never felt extremely changed by Matthias, or like he is someone I can connect with. Nonetheless, like I said, I do still love him. He got some of the greatest character development I have ever read. He is so unintentionally funny, as well. And to this day, I feel really devastated when I think about the way he was confronted and killed by a younger version of himself that he tried to comfort despite being threatened. His death, which I still gaslight myself into thinking never happened, will forever be one of, if not, the most haunting and heartbreaking thing in the entire YA genre.
If you don't agree with my ranking, that's fine, but do not say any mean bullshit to me just because I ranked your favorite Crow low. Please be nice.

(re-sending this after you said you deleted your asks, hope it's not a bother ^^") do you have any guesses as to what the what ifs for wl2 are gonna be? for l/n i'm 99.9% sure it's gonna be what if shiho joined standout and for wxs it's probably gonna be what if rui took asahi's offer. for mmj and vbs i can only think of them going on what ifs from the main stories, like what if minori passed her audition (or maybe if mmj managed to get signed?) or what if kohane never met an, but for niigo?? happy blogversary btw!!
hm. i think it will probably be different events for each character because it's hard to pinpoint exact moments where divergence would affect everyone. particularly with niigo and vbs. individual divergence points would also work better to expand on the more introspective (ish) nature of the wle1 stories, where it was more about looking back at their development and how they've changed and where they'll go now (lowkey it was like clipshow episodes for prsk in case people haven't been reading).
it's definitely gonna be what if shiho joined standout for her, however i could see the other girls using this too. 4=1 and all that, especially since choosing to go pro was a big character moment for all of them. alternatively i think something middle school related could come up for honami.
mmj is hard. probably something to do with what if haruka/airi/shizuku never quit? this will probably be haruka's one, or something similar like "what if mai never got hurt and retired". mainly because there's not a whole lot else you could diverge from with her. i could see it working for airi and shizuku too but it probably wouldn't be the most interesting thing ever because it would probably just be 'they don't like their jobs and everything is easily way better the way things went'. idk maybe they'll cook something crazy. minori is hard to guess because like. she wouldn't give up on auditioning. so i like the idea you brought up of her actually passing one of them, because then that eliminates mmj but she still got what she wanted, so it'd be an interesting thing to unpack.
for vbs an not meeting kohane will definitely be it for either an or kohane. i reckon with an they might try to lean more into something related to vivid street or her family, so i'll go with kohane. i'm not too sure with akito, maybe "what if he never quit football" but idk i don't see a whole lot of potential with that one? if you changed it so his team won the game maybe it could go somewhere but i'm still not sure. and again like with minori him giving up after say, fawo flashbacks or something feels out of the question. for toya "what if he didnt run away" feels inevitable, but uh. clpl has made some questionable decisions regarding that plot point recently so i'd kinda like for them to not touch it.
wxs is definitely arcland for rui. like that's inevitable imo and would be a good way to segue into the next wxs arc, which will also inevitably be about this because the boys' graduation is coming up fast. for emu probably like what if she didn't go with wxs at the end of ohe, or something to do with wonder stage following her grandfather's death (maybe not being able to save it/not hiring tsukasa?). for nene not having stage fright while in her middle school drama group, since that's what led to her even joining wxs in the first place. tsukasa's harder to guess but him actually passing his pxl audition would be funny imo.
niigo is really difficult because multiple points that would make for easy divergence would result in suicide which, yeah i don't think this is the kind of game that's gonna touch that. like, we do get the ideation but i doubt they'd go MCD. the playerbase is getting younger and i think that's a bit too morbid for the kids. that said, mafuyu not finding kanade's song makes the most sense for divergence there. in fact that works for ena and mizuki too. you might be able to do something with ena and art school though. and because i said no MCD for Kanade the most logical option seems to me to be what if her mom didn't die. because then that probably means her dad doesn't work overtime, which means kanade would still have a happy healthy life and niigo wouldn't exist.

It kind of started in limited life with Jimmys final death. Grians the one who gets Jimmy to push the minecart because hes so low on time, hes looking out for him, trying to prolong his life, but the effect is the opposite. The fandom wanting the 'Grian kills his teammates' superstition to have come true made this idea more popular than it probably should have been. But looking back at it as a sort of transition from 'Grian permakills his teammates' to 'Grians attempts to save people end with them dying anyway', I think its pretty fitting. (After all he did unambiguously kill Jimmy several times in limited life as well as trying to save him.)
But this new meta for Grian really starts in secret life. Theres the incident with the enderman when Grian tries to use it to ward of the zombie players from his team but ends up with it chasing Etho into them (Ethos own fault) and getting him killed. But more than that theres Mumbo as Grians terrible butler. The whole thing is just so inevitable. The secret keeper gives Grian a really difficult task and makes Mumbo accompany him, Grian didnt even choose to take on the responsibility of someone elses life. Then they go to the nether and Grian wants Mumbo to be safe so keeps telling him not to do dangerous things, but because of Mumbos task when Grian warns him not to do something, he has to do it. Its like fate itself has constructed the perfect scenario to demonstrate that Grian trying to save people kills them.
And then wild life happens, exactly as you said, and somehow everything is Grians responsibility now, and somehow that makes everything his fault. Hes not killed a teammate with his own hands in a long time, but I guess killing them with the sheer aura of his fate to doom anyone he tries to save is guilt enough. If I was him Id be pissed, the old days were so much better, at least it used to be on purpose.
Grian being blamed for Mumbo and Skizz's deaths in Wild Life will always be so fascinating to me.
(i know they were told to insult grian, to be fair, but the fact that "you built the tower that got us killed, you ruined your own team" came to mind so quickly for skizz and mumbo is fascinating. also the fact that a lot of fans viewed this as "widows curse fulfilled, grian killed his teammates again".)
Grian, categorically, spent episodes doing nothing but trying to help Skizz and Mumbo. He gathered resources for them, made plans for them, literally gave Skizz the armor off his own back. When Skizz and Mumbo were low on lives, Grian, repeatedly, helped them get more- which actually did extend their lives multiple times- without even having to be asked. I mean, sure, he didn't give them his lives, but anything else within his power to do, he did to help them.
Mumbo walked right into a tnt minecart. Skizz stood on a ledge until he was pushed to his death. They got themselves killed (or, well, martyn and tango killed skizz). But they happened to get themselves killed in a tower Grian built (built to help them, which is all he spent half the season doing), so of course, it was Grian who got them killed, Grian who destroyed their team.
And this, honestly, is what I mean when I say that Grian opens himself up to undue blame in a sense when he makes other people his responsibility.
Grian could have let Mumbo and Skizz deal with themselves, could have let them either get lives on their own or die on their own. It wouldn't have been his fault then, because he had nothing to do with it. But instead, Grian actively helped them, went out of his way to do whatever was in his power to keep them alive, and because of that, it became his responsibility when he failed, when they died in the tower he built.
In many case, Grian is a great example of "no good deed goes unpunished". Which isn't to say that he should stop taking care of other people or seeing his team as his responsibility, because individualism is harmful in its own way (probably more harmful). But it really does seem like the universe is insistent on making Grian 'the bad guy' every time he goes out of his way to do the right thing.

I'm hoping episode 3 let's Ruby see the dark side of the Doctor. I feel that adds a very important dynamic to a Doctor-companion relationship, when they see how dark he can be and still choose to travel with him early on.
Rose watching Nine drag Cassandra back to die. Eleven yelling at Amy "Nobody human has anything to say to me today!" Donna begging Ten to stop drowning the spider babies, and then again to go back and save someone in Pompeii.
Fifteen has been FUN and I know he can do emotional range, I've seen his fear and his tears already. But I want to see him dark, and I want to see Ruby respond to that. I think it would add a LOT of depth to their relationship and is something missing.
Plus showcasing the Doctor's flaws (selfishness) will make him a much more interesting character. I want to see some conflict between the Doctor and Ruby.
#wren rambles#doctor who#fifteenth doctor#ruby sunday#something about not letting heroes have flaws#and thus being one dimentional and less interesting#its a flaw i saw them slipping into a bit with thirteen#where she was always the Moral Voice#i LIKE it when the Doctor is instinctually cruel and has to be talked out of it and actively choose to be kind#it makes the character SO much more interesting#and raises the emotional stakes so much#so far fifteen has been FUN#but he hasnt been a rounded character#and until we see his flaws hes never gonna be in the runnings for a favourite#i think the doctor is an inherantly selfish character#and he has to make an active effort to NOT be#“Im his carer” “yes she cares so I dont have to”#im worried a six month time jump removed the opportunity for this kinda thing though#i Need to be able to look at the doctor and know. this is the man who killed a planet#and i havent been seeing that in the character recently#still early days yet though!#the doctor shouldnt be the moral center of the show--his companion should be#i think thats why i love 12 so much tbh#because his whole THING is to choose to be kind#without hope without witness without reward#being “good” (and whatever that means is a discussion for another day) doesnt come easily to him#love isnt an emotion its a promise#i want to see fifteen STRUGGLING to choose to do good#and i want to see ruby witness that

good things happen to good people. except this is sports and in sports, fate is a bitch
#I will never get over how Daniel actively chooses to be good each time#that takes a level of mental fortitude and grace beyond my understanding#funnily enough this reminds me the story that Daniel loves to tell#about how his first coach made him go up and shake the hand of the guy he had to beat in karting#and the guy was so rattled about why Daniel was being nice to him that Daniel won#and this was where the whole idea of being the honey badger sort of grew from …#I know Daniel was probably just being a genuinely nice person here because he was truly going through the horrors in December#but it’s nice to fantasise that this was the last act of the honey badger#because Lawson is about to start his season in his dream team and he is on the GQ cover calling him the next superstar#and yet the only thing memorable about it all is that Daniel chose to be kind to him#I hope this moment haunts him for the rest of his career

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.
#it wouldn’t have to change any of the actual plot of the season. except MAYBE amy’s choice but even then i think amy’s choice would be the#one episode where they should be adults. if only for the half where they live in a village in that dream.#because that’s the kind of future that children would dream up. they live in a little cottage and nothing ever goes wrong and their best#friend visits them all the time even though they’ve grown up.#they aren’t actually adults there just children with an idea of what they should be as adults and acting accordingly#and it would still end the same way.#but idk its just. rory’s 2000 years waiting for amy inside the pandorica is already tragic. yes.#now imagine its a kid. a kid in a little roman soldier helmet who will never grow up. who will not leave his best friend.#he loves her and she’s more important than the whole universe and that sort of love is supposed to MEAN something in a fairy tale!#its supposed to melt the ice out of hearts and transform people from stone.#and what that love means here. is that he will have to wait 2000 years. a child and a box.#little rory and the amelia who followed the doctor’s letters to the pandorica. and she doesn’t recognize him again.#and amelia in the pandorica… 2000 years a child trapped in a small box waiting to be rescued.#s5 is already fucked for them but it could be worse. it could be so much worse.#and it would make the doctor choosing to take her place in the pandorica to save the universe later even better.#because who else but the doctor would put the fate of the universe on the shoulders of two children and realize much too late what a#monstrous thing he’d done. and still have to hope. have to hope. that amelia would remember him fondly enough to bring him back to reality.#the logistics of all of this would have been a pain lmao. child labor laws in acting and all that.#BUT. hypothetically. it would have slapped.#doctor who#amy pond#rory williams#<- also this entire time ive been referring to him in my head as rory pond so much that i fuckin. forgot his actual last name.#and then like if you want them to be adults in s6 or whatever you can just timeskip to them getting married and still have amelia remember#the doctor there. it would work. it would.#amelia pond au

i love seven but it is also very annoying how media overall is more willing to sympathise with characters who committed countless atrocities and talk at length about their redemption arks particularly in comparison to oppressed characters whose fight against status quo is always being framed as terrorism :-)
#i love voyager but maquis thing in particular PISSES ME OFF#thus i am rather content with them not bringing it up very often#i also want to talk more about the episode called jetrel. because i LOVED its neelix content but the whole 'forgive your aggressors'#and how janeway in particular didnt seem to understand why neelix was reacting poorly to the man who literally designed the device who wipe#his home planet? 1) kind of hard to watch when you had your hometown being raised to the ground not so long ago#2) this is among the reasons why i dont see j/c working out in the long run outside of whatever it is that they are having#they are awfully attracted to each other but most of the time they have staggeringly different worldview which chakotay chooses to sweep#under the rug bc he hyperfixed on janeway for his own mental stability. in his own words.#at least this is how i see it#why did i use 'in particular' three times in this post

#spn#2x03#*#idk why but this reminds me so much of that passage in my dark vanessa where at the very end she says -i just really need this to be#a love story/bc if its not a love story than what is it/its my life/this has been my whole life esp when u look at his convo w jo#[and to an extent sam] later on where he says that he started this career so young /because/his father pushed him into it#and its too late for him to do anything else. and its fascinating to me how much dean kind of really hates this life. i mean he does enjoy#some of it to an extent but as the show goes on he says over and over [more than sam - who basically ran away to get away from this]#that they should stop and let go and just be done with it and its obvi difficult for dean NOT to have a lot of mixed feelings abt this life#<and a big part of it is that he wants to stop bc sam is in danger/what their dad asked him to do etc etc#anywayyss this is all so interesting to me esp how dean chooses to describe it🙃🙃a secret world shared only by him and his father#bc no matter what hunting and this life is a secret world but john has somehow made it even more secretive and private for dean and sam#like when gordon says earlier 'you know how hunters talk' and D and S are like uh...no....#so its like no matter what hunting is a private thing dean shares w his father and its so intimate and secretive that its his whole life#and therefore has to mean something

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 15: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression
(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)
Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should purchase some new shoes for himself while he's in the city...
~
It costs quite a bit of coin, but in the end he decides that having a new sturdy pair of boots will serve him well on his travels. After he's done in the shop, he rushes back to the local inn before nightfall, eventually settling into a somewhat restless sleep..
The next morning, he orders some cheap vegetable stew from a food stall, then lounges in a park as he has his breakfast, watching the squirrels weave through flowering trees and birds pecking about in the dewy grass.. When finished with his meal (and sufficiently recovered from the emotional turmoil of burning his tongue on the soup), he quickly sells his old pair of shoes to a sketchy pawn shop before finally getting back to his journey...
By his calculations, if he he walks all day, it should only be two more sleeps before he gets to his destination, so he sets out to travel as efficiently as possible. He doesn't have the money to rent a cart, or the skill to ride a borrowed horse, but, he does have some fancy new walking shoes and a renewed sense of purpose. No more meandering through fields looking for flowers, napping in the shade, or scanning the ground for cool rocks.. He's going to focus this time!
......After a few hours, he comes across a broken down carriage in the middle of the road, with few people surrounding it, seemingly stuck trying to repair a wheel or something. It's hard to discern from afar..
Maybe if he helps them, he could get a free ride.. or some coins.. or make a new lifelong friend! Who knows? Possibilities flood his mind, this is what adventuring is all about! Wandering into interesting situations and making the most out of them!! .. But, then he recalls his previous oath.. he's supposed to focus today and not allow himself to sidetracked.. And who says he has the skills to help anyway? It could always just be a waste of time... Hmm...
What should he do?
~

Additional Information
the adventurer's current main quest: follow his map to reach the abandoned castle ruins and see the rare animal specialist about the mysterious egg he has
#paventure posting#poll#polls#choose your own adventure#GHWOOPPPs yeah it's been an entire month basically since the last one ghj.. I said I was trying to get back on schedule.. idk what happened#I guess I initially thought that april would be a less busy month but then it actually ended up being MORE busy with a ton of appointments#and stuff so then I had like no time. on top of trying to get a lot of other stuff done... so.. eughhh#I DO STILL want to keepon track of this more though. I want to at least get him to the abandoned castle so he can complete#his quest. I think like. the first poll a lot of people seemed to like and care about and participate in so it was kind of like 'oh! cool!#it can be a fun collaborative story with a lot of people!' but then gradually less people participate or care so then I kind of allow mysel#to slack with it as well liike 'oh its fine if I miss a day or two here and there' which then turns into a month when I have other stuff#to do lol. Because it does still take time. like maybe 2 hours to put a post together. even if the art and writing is relatively rushed and#quick. Especially since polls are not editable once posted so half the time is just proofreading the post and tags 15 times#just to make super sure there's no errors or etc. lol.. But trying to clear two hours of time during an already hectic day for something#that generally speaking very few people are engaged with or care about at all when it's meant to be interactive (like with normal art#or costumes or other stuff I do - low interaction doesnt bother me since that's not the point/it's not as relevant. but with an actual poll#you do want like.. the most poeple possible to vote on it etc. lol) so it's like.. ehhh#I was originally thinking like 'oh i could do this for an entire year and tell like a whole story and it'd be cool to see where it ends#up eventually after so long and the community kind of choosing the direction of everything!' but now its like 'well people care significant#ly less about the following polls than they did the first one so maybe not As Big Of A Thing but I do at least want to finish the current#thing going on' etc. I mean if in the next few posts it becomes More Of A Thing then it's very fluid. I could do it for longer#but with the way things are looking it's like. is it worth the time investment when i ALSO have 800 other creative projects I'm meant to be#working on?? etc. etc. ANYWAY though.. Still there will probably be at least 10 or however many more since there's still like 1-2 more days#before he even gets to the castle plus then doing things AT the place.#I want to continue his journey!!!!! I also have just felt sick and weird and so unfocused for a while eughhh.. sorry#OO I almost forgot about his injury from the fight. i had to just add it in the last moment lol.. SEE this is why I proofread 100 times#I can't edit polls so they have to be Correct the first time.. ueghhh
