#bullshit 1.0

[twopoppies]

When did antis arrive in the fandom? Like…they were fans and at one point they became nasty? Because I remember how the first years of 1D, the fandom was called “1D family” everyone loved each other. Now it’s the total opposite. Lol

Well, I joined the fandom at the end of 2013, so I don’t know for sure. But my impression is that antis showed up when 1DHQ started pushing the idea that larries ruined Harry and Louis’ friendship. So that would have been somewhere around the latter part of 2012. The closet really started closing around them as 1D began to break into America and H*ylor was ramping up.

September 2012 was Bullshit 1.0 where “Louis” tweeted that Larry was “the biggest load of bullshit” he’d ever heard.

This, plus the obvious separation of Harry and Louis on stage and in interviews began to make antis feel emboldened and look at themselves as “good fans” because they didn’t support the idea of Larry.

Also as a more serious post I keep seeing claims that Gquuuuuux is telling a story about Gundam or is doing “uc slop” or sudden rebuild bullshit in the last five eps but no it’s not. It’s telling a story about two possibly three teenagers proving that they have the right to decide their own destinies and not be bound by what the older generations have decided for them. It’s just that it’s achieving that by using the most iconic parts of Gundam to represent the older generations.

The UC “bullshit” is the culmination of the shows thesis about how the newer generations need to be left free to chart their own paths. Nyaan and Machu represent two ways in which younger people live with this. Nyaan aimlessly floats through life without convictions or passion for what she’s doing, her only wants restricted to her needs while she pines for what she truly wants but is unwilling to grab it until her hand is forced, and Machu is raging against the bonds holding her with no regards to what happens if she breaks free, she just knows she needs to be free becuase that’s worth whatever she’ll lose in the process. And then if I’m right about Shuji (and even if I’m not the earlier stuff with the red Gundam still fits) he’s the total loss of identity outside of the older generations wants and needs he no longer has his own id or ego he’s subsumed by the older generation and mirrors them (like those kids whose parents never made it in sports or whatever but they “totally could’ve” so the kids are forced to push themselves to the brink no matter what they actually want to enable their parents need to vicariously live through them.)

The fight against RX-78 isn’t just them fighting to prove their universe’s inherent right to exist but also the younger generations right to chart their own paths. This is why Challia and Kycilia’s treatment of Nyaan and Machu are so contrasting, Kycilia impose her own values and beliefs on Nyaan and Nyaan fights against them, she used the gun she was given to protect her self to protect someone else finally choosing what she wants rather than floating along. While Challia gave Machu the freedom to do what she felt was necessary and her gun was used to free herself and the Gquuuuuux to not only achieve what they wanted but to reach their full potential with the omega psycommu. It’s the same reason Challia doesn’t want to kill Xavier. he let Xavier go the way he wanted to and do what he felt was necessary and even though they’ve ended up on opposite sides he doesn’t want to take that freedom away from him in death. Whereas Kycilia was fully willing to kill Nyaan as soon as she didn’t align with her beliefs. And I think this is partly why Challia was chosen and written the way he is. He’s not an icon of Gundam like Char, Lalah, Kycilia, Amuro or even the titans. He’s of the og series but isn’t bound by it, it’s why he can straddle the line of being of the older generation but not trying to bind the newer generation to what they decide and be the only one willing to let them have the freedom they deserve.

The RX-78’s appearance is the manifestation and climax of this, the gquuuuuux timeline isn’t doing what it’s supposed to so it must be destroyed. This isn’t a show about Gundam, its not a meta story about Gundam needing to move past the UC timeline, it’s a show using the most iconic example of the old generation that Gundam will ever have to be the final boss in Nyaan and Machu’s journey to prove that they have a right to decide their own destinies. It’s why Beyond the Time works so well at the end of ep 11, it’s not only a callback but a call to arms for Nyaan and Machu to change their destiny and futures and share the happiness that’ll come from being finally, truly free.

Zenos gets to have the terrible realization that he is the only prince with the patience to put up with him anymore.

[drmobiusvanch]

would you all still love me if i started posting my most wild and self-indulgent bullshit.

[aloysarrow]

Oh. I just realized that Mualani could have been our 5 star claymore instead of the fifth hydro catalyst. Hell, she could have been the first 5 star hydro polearm, too, because there's only 4 star Candace there and even that could have been a nice addition.

Hoyoverse really sucks in like small non-issue ways. Seriously they love sword and catalyst for hydro lol, WHERE'S THE HYDRO CLAYMORE, HOYO?

[normaltothemax]

(For Jason) The Bowery hasn't seen Robin in weeks. Nightwing has come and tackled things and Red Hood's increased presence is still very much a blessing. But Robin has scarcely been seen. Until tonight when he darts in, grabs the criminal he's chasing and then drags the unconscious body back to the boundary with Ottisburg. Robin knows when he's being watched and when he sees that flash of red, he bows. A very proper bow, technically perfect. The voice and word choice though? "My deepest apologies, my liege, for not seeking proper permission to enter your sacred lands in the middle of an emergency." There's maybe a couple of working girls around to hear the utter derision in the boy's tone. Robin and Red Hood apparently don't get on. "Don't worry, it's a one off. I won't be back."

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

Maybe, if it’d just been the two of them, Jason would’ve been a little less testy. But right now? He’s in a shit mood to begin with, and Tim’s playing to an audience. Eyes narrow, hidden beneath his helmet. Teeth grit, fingers twitch at his sides, before he crosses his arms tightly. Probably wouldn’t be a good look for him, shooting a gun at a literal child, no matter how cathartic it might feel at the time.

“Piss off, Robin,” he sneers. “I’ve got better shit to deal with than your teenage angst. So, go on and take that jackass and the bug that crawled up your ass back to the big, bad Bat.”

Everything is reduced to misunderstandings,mistakes and accidents.No one is plotting to take/steal the power like it was supposed to.

Characters are completely changed or are the opposite of what they are in the book.The is no gray,only black and white,only good people or bad ones.

Different team stans are at each other’s throats.

Daemon and Aemond are plotting against the people they are most loyal to and they want to become kings by themselves.

Daeron is lost somewhere and it’s rumored to be a bastard.

Maelor and Nettles don’t exist.Their storylines were so important for characters like Daeron,Helaena,Daemon and Rhaenyra.

Apparently having dragon blood/being valyrian has no use to ride a dragon.

Other dragons,like Dreamfyre,are long forgotten.

There was no interaction,no relationship,not even a conversation between Viserys children.

Laenor simply running away,living his best life in Essos meanwhile his family started a civil war.Same as Daeron,who is trapped in Oldtwon while his siblings are destroying each other.Perfect sense.

Rumors about Alys engaging a relationship with Daemon instead that with Aemond.

Aegon and Criston Cole being the most hated in the fandom when in the book they were completely different,so much wasted potential.

Rhaenyra being paint as saint/mary sue,instead that the political idiot she actually is and the bad person she is(and that’s why i loved her in the book).

Alicent being a scheming little bitch,a Margaery 1.0,not a little scared girl that did what she did because of a misunderstanding.She wanted to usurp the throne,she wanted the power and she didn’t stopped in front of anything.

Rhaenicent scene in the Temple was a comic relief,because otherwise it make no sense if you think about how the characters were supposed to be.Just another proof of how “good” and “misunderstood” they are,acting like it’s the world that goes against them and that is not them that are keep doing a bullshit after another.

Helaena having no reaction after Blood and Cheese,but saying that things like this happen in the world.When in reality this is the event that will forever change her life,she will stop sleeping,bathing and eating.She won’t even look at her other children without feeling guilty for what happened.She literally goes insane with grief.

Rhaena bonding with the dragon that Nettles was supposed to have and that’s mean that we won’t probably see her real dragon:the pink baby Morning,that represents the hope for the dragons because in the dance they all died.

Ryan Condal if you plan to make a show about the Conquest,i beg you to not do it.I don’t want to see Visenya and Rhaenys being rivals and fight over Aegon,because i know this is what will happen!

The camera opens on you and Shemar huddled near the side of a trailer, both of you keeping your voices low as you glance around to ensure no one is eavesdropping. You were partially hidden behind the trailer, your body angled like you were trying to disappear into the shadows.

“AJ said that?” you asked in a hushed tone, your eyes wide with shock. Your disbelief was clear as you leaned closer to Shemar, your expression a mix of concern and outrage.

Shemar nodded, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, his face grim. “Yeah,” he confirmed, his voice steady but heavy with frustration. “Apparently, he’s still harassing her. She said that cocky motherfucker dropped his files on purpose, just so he could get a good look at her ass.”

Your mouth fell open in stunned silence, your shock rendering you momentarily speechless. Finally, you found your voice, though it came out in a disbelieving whisper. “What kind of sick freak does that? Is AJ okay? Does she need to talk to someone? HR? Like, what the hell?”

Shemar shrugged slightly but the tension in his shoulders didn’t ease. “She seemed pretty shaken up,” he admitted, his voice softening slightly. “She even mentioned not wanting to do scenes with him anymore. Said it’s been happening for weeks now, but she didn’t wanna make a big deal out of it.”

“That’s a huge deal,” you said firmly, your hands gesturing wildly before dropping to your sides. You glanced over your shoulder instinctively, lowering your voice even further. “No one should have to deal with that bullshit. Especially not her.”

“Exactly,” Shemar agreed, his tone sharper now. “But you know AJ—she doesn’t wanna stir the pot unless she absolutely has to. She’s probably worried about how it’ll look, you know, with everyone watching her all the time.”

You frowned deeply, shaking your head. “That’s not right. She shouldn’t have to keep quiet just because some creep doesn’t know how to act. If he’s making her uncomfortable, someone needs to shut him down. Immediately.”

Shemar nodded in appreciation, his jaw tightening. “You think you can talk to her?” he asked after a moment. She trusts you, and maybe… I don’t know—hearing it from you will help her feel like she doesn’t have to handle it alone.”

You didn’t hesitate. “Of course. I’ll talk to her. And if that doesn’t work, we’re going straight to HR. Screw that guy.”

The camera lingered for a beat longer, capturing the silent agreement between the two of you, before fading out.

—

The next time the camera catches you, you and AJ are sitting on a bench behind one of the sets, deep in conversation. AJ’s body language is tense, her shoulders hunched forward as she nervously picks at the corner of her script. Her sigh is heavy, filled with frustration and exhaustion.

“I just don’t know what to do anymore,” AJ confesses, her voice low and wavering slightly. She glances around to ensure no one is within earshot before continuing. “I tell him to stop, beg him to cut it out. I even tried to bribe him, Y/N—bribe him!” She pauses, her voice dropping even further. “And you know what he said?”

You throw your head back with an exaggerated groan, your hand flying to your forehead as if bracing for impact. “Oh god,” you reply dramatically, your tone laced with dread. “What did he say?”

AJ leans in closer, her eyes darting around once more before whispering in a barely audible voice, “He asked if I run to work… because riding in a car wouldn’t make me look like this.”

For a moment, you’re completely still, processing the sheer audacity of the comment. Then your jaw drops, and you let out a strangled, disbelieving laugh. “What?!” you hiss, your eyes wide as saucers. “Are you kidding me?”

AJ shakes her head, her lips pressed tightly as she mutters, “I wish I was.”

You sit back, your hands flying up in exasperation. “That’s not just creepy, that’s—ugh—so gross! What the hell is wrong with him?”

AJ nods miserably, her gaze dropping to the ground. “I just feel so… powerless, you know? Like, no matter what I say, he just finds new ways to make me uncomfortable.”

“Hey, heyyy, ladies,” a familiar voice calls out, breaking the tension like nails on a chalkboard. You and AJ both turn your heads slightly, just in time to see Matthew strolling around the corner, his trademark grin plastered across his face.

AJ immediately stiffens, her body going rigid as her discomfort becomes obvious. Neither of you respond, and the air between the three of you is heavy with unspoken words.

Matthew stops a few feet away, glancing between the two of you. “What’s with the silent treatment, girls?” he asks, his voice dripping with mock hurt. “Are you not happy to see me?”

AJ looks at you out of the corner of her eye, her lips pressing into a thin line. You meet her gaze briefly, sharing an unspoken agreement to let the silence speak for itself.

Matthew, oblivious as ever, chuckles to himself and tries again. “Oh, I get it,” he says, his face lighting up with a theatrical smile. “You were talking about me.”

Neither of you respond, but AJ’s eyes narrow slightly as her discomfort grows. Undeterred, Matthew dramatically places a hand over his heart and lets out a laugh. “Please, please, proceed,” he says, bowing deeply and sweeping one arm in a grand, over-the-top gesture as though giving you permission to continue.

AJ shifts uncomfortably, her eyes darting anywhere but at him. You cross your arms and level a look at Matthew, but before you can say anything, he straightens up and spins on his heel, still grinning. “Ladies, I’ll leave you to it!” he calls over his shoulder as he saunters off, humming to himself like he hasn’t a care in the world.

As soon as he’s out of earshot, you and AJ exchange a look again, this time with mutual disbelief.

“Is he for real?” you whisper, shaking your head.

AJ sighs, exhaling a long breath she’d been holding. “I don’t even know anymore,” she mutters, her voice laced with frustration.

—

“I just don’t know what to do,” a producer muttered under his breath, unaware that a camera was rolling just around the corner.

Another high-up, standing beside him with arms crossed, nodded solemnly. “It’s not like we can just replace Reid’s character…” He hesitated for a moment before adding, almost as an afterthought, “I guess we could kill him off.”

The first producer groaned, running a hand through his hair. “He’s just so popular,” he lamented, clearly torn.

“But everyone hates Matthew,” the other responded flatly.

Silence hung between them for a moment as the weight of the problem settled. The only sound was the faint chatter of crew members in the distance.

Finally, the first producer exhaled sharply. “God, I wish we could just keep Reid but—”

“Lose Matthew,” the second finished dryly, nodding in agreement.

The two shared a long, tired look before shaking their heads. Neither had a solution, but the mutual suffering was palpable.

From behind the camera, someone muffled a laugh. The producer closest to the camera snapped his head toward the sound, eyes narrowing. “Wait… was that rolling?”

A brief shuffle. A cough. Then—

Static.

—

The scene picks up later in Matthew's trailer. The camera finds him sprawled across the couch in the most dramatic pose imaginable, one arm thrown over his forehead as if he's in the final act of a Shakespearean tragedy. A half-empty bag of gummy worms rests on his chest.

“They're trying to kill me," he groans, voice thick with betrayal.

From behind the camera, someone—probably a PA who's been assigned to monitor his antics—clears their throat. “They said they were thinking about killing off Reid—not you.”

Matthew sits up so fast that gummy worms go flying. “I am Reid,” he insists, pointing at himself. “They can’t separate us. I made him.” He pauses for dramatic effect before whispering, “He is me.”

A heavy silence. Then—

“I mean,” the PA starts, unsure if they should be engaging in this conversation, “I think they were just, like… spitballing ideas. You’re, uh, really popular with fans.”

Matthew squints suspiciously, pulling his knees up to his chest. “Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

A pause.

“…But everyone hates you.”

Matthew lets out an offended gasp, clutching his chest. “What?!”

The PA, clearly regretting their entire existence, winces. “I mean, not me! Obviously. Just… you know, other people.”

Matthew stares, eyes narrowed. He seems to be calculating something, or perhaps deciding if this is the moment he fakes his own disappearance and reinvents himself as a reclusive artist in the French countryside. Then, abruptly, he leaps to his feet.

“Okay. Fine. If they’re gonna try to Game of Thrones me, then I’m gonna give them no choice but to love me,” he declares, pacing the trailer like a man possessed. “I’ll be the greatest employee this show has ever seen. I’ll be humble. I’ll be professional. I’ll—” He spins on his heel. “I’ll make AJ a cake.”

The PA tilts their head. “Why… why AJ?”

“She’s the only one who still tolerates me,” Matthew admits, shrugging. “Barely.”

Before the PA can respond, Matthew grabs his coat and storms toward the door, his face set with determination.

“Where are you going?” the PA asks.

“To fix my image,” Matthew says dramatically, yanking open the trailer door.

The moment he steps outside, he immediately trips over a production cable and crashes to the ground.

Silence.

From the ground, his voice muffled, he groans, “Did anyone see that?”

The camera zooms in slowly.

Cut to black.

—

The camera cuts to AJ standing near the craft services table, arms crossed as Matthew proudly holds out a lumpy, misshapen cake on a flimsy paper plate. The frosting is uneven, slathered on in thick, chaotic strokes, and a few gummy worms are inexplicably sticking out from the side like decorations. It looks more like a failed science experiment than an edible dessert.

“Uh… thanks, Matthew,” AJ says slowly, her voice laced with deep suspicion as she cautiously takes the cake from his outstretched hands. She eyes it like it might explode.

Matthew beams, completely unfazed. “You’re welcome! I just wanted to do something nice for you, you know? As an apology for any… minor inconveniences I may or may not have caused in the past.”

AJ glances at you, who is standing just off to the side, watching the exchange with barely contained amusement. You shoot her a look that screams What the hell is happening?

She looks back at the cake. “Is this… edible?”

Matthew gasps, clutching his chest in offense. “Wow. Hurtful. I slaved over this.”

You snort. “You literally walked past craft services and asked, ‘Hey, can I borrow some ingredients?’”

Matthew glares at you but quickly snaps back to AJ, his hands clasped together like he’s expecting a glowing review. “I made it with love.”

AJ pokes at the cake hesitantly. The texture is questionable at best. “What… uh… what’s in it?”

Matthew waves a dismissive hand. “Oh, just, you know… eggs, sugar, flour, uh—” He pauses, thinking. “And a little bit of creativity.”

AJ and you both stare at him.

“…What does that mean?” AJ asks flatly.

Matthew doesn’t blink. “It means that I forgot to measure everything, so I just felt it out.”

AJ immediately pulls the cake back at arm’s length. “Oh my god.”

“It’s fine!” Matthew insists. “It’s rustic! It’s artisanal!”

You lean in, eyeing the cake. “Dude… is that pasta in there?”

Matthew blinks. “Oh, huh. I did grab the wrong box at one point.”

AJ shoves the plate back into his hands. “Matthew, I love you, but there is absolutely no way I am putting that anywhere near my mouth.”

Matthew pouts dramatically. “Wow. So ungrateful.”

You put a hand over your mouth, barely holding back laughter. “I think the real apology would be never talking to her again.”

The camera zooms in on Matthew’s face as he stares at the cake, looking genuinely confused as to why this heartfelt gesture wasn’t an overwhelming success.

—

The camera opens on your office, where you're seated at your desk, eyes locked on your computer screen as you type away, clearly occupied with something actually important. The door creaks open, and without looking up, you already know who it is.

“Y/N…” Matthew drawls dramatically as he steps inside, hands stuffed into his pockets, his expression unreadable.

You don’t bother glancing up. “What, Gubler?”

Matthew closes the door behind him and leans against it, clearly building up to something. “Did you, uh… hear the rumors?”

You finally pause, your fingers hovering over the keyboard. “About what?” you ask, still not looking at him.

He hesitates. “You know… me.”

Now, that gets your attention. You glance up at him, raising an unimpressed eyebrow. “What? That you eat children? That you think you’re actually related to Shemar? Or—” you pause for dramatic effect, tilting your head, “—that you have a tiny penis?”

Matthew gasps as if you’ve just hit him with a physical object. His hands fly to his chest, fingers splayed out like you’ve personally wounded his soul. “Wow. Wow, Y/N,” he says, shaking his head. “I come in here vulnerable, seeking comfort in my darkest hour, and you—” he gestures wildly in your direction “—you slander me like this?”

You fight the urge to smirk. “Oh, so it is about the tiny penis thing.”

Matthew lets out an exaggerated groan and collapses dramatically onto the chair across from your desk. “No! It’s about the other rumor! The one about how everyone hates me and wants to kill off Reid!”

You roll your eyes, leaning back in your chair. “Yeah, Matt, I heard. What, you think I’d miss an opportunity to witness your inevitable downfall firsthand?”

Matthew shoots upright in his seat. “Okay, first of all—rude.” He crosses his arms. “Second, don’t you think it’s a little unfair? I mean, sure, I may be a bit… eccentric—”

“You wore a cape to set last week.”

“—but that’s part of my charm!” he insists, ignoring your interjection entirely. “You like my antics! You laugh at my jokes! You secretly love me!”

You deadpan. “I tolerate you, at best.”

Matthew clutches his heart again. “You wound me, truly.”

You sigh, finally setting your computer aside to give him your full attention. “Listen, Matthew. No one actually wants to kill you. And no one actually hates you—or at least not a lot.”

“AJ literally refused to eat my apology cake.”

“Because you put pasta in it, Matthew!”

He opens his mouth to argue, then quickly closes it, realizing he has no defense. He slumps forward instead, resting his chin in his hands. “So… you don’t think they’ll actually kill off Reid?”

You consider this for a moment, leaning back with a thoughtful hum. “Well… I wouldn’t rule it out completely.”

Matthew gasps again, his eyes wide with betrayal. “Y/N!”

You smirk. “I’m just saying. If I were you, I’d start sucking up to the producers now.”

The camera zooms in on Matthew’s face, which is now frozen in a look of absolute horror.

—

On a quiet corner of the set, Shemar and Lola are casually leaning against a table near craft services, seemingly unaware that they’re being recorded. The lighting is slightly dim, and the conversation is hushed as if they’re discussing something they shouldn’t be.

“Did you hear they wanna get rid of that scrawny-ass hipster?” Shemar mutters, taking a sip from his coffee cup, his tone laced with amusement.

Lola snorts, shaking her head as she picks up a snack from the table. “Yeah, and honestly? Couldn’t come soon enough.” She lets out a deep, exhausted sigh before adding, “Maybe then the set would stop feeling like one of the damn crime scenes.”

Shemar chuckles, nodding in agreement. “Right? Every time I turn a corner, he’s just… there. Lurking. Watching. Doing some weird-ass bit that no one asked for.”

Lola shudders dramatically. “I swear to God, last week I found him in a dark hallway just staring at the wall. When I asked what the hell he was doing, he said he was ‘practicing emanating a mysterious aura.’”

Shemar almost spits out his coffee. “Man, I tolerate that idiot, but damn—he makes it so hard sometimes.”

Lola groans, rubbing her temple. “Yeah, and don’t even get me started on the time he ‘haunted’ his own trailer because he wanted to see if he could get it declared an official ghost site.”

They both break into laughter, shaking their heads at the absurdity of it all.

Suddenly, the sound of a distant gasp is heard. The camera immediately swings around to reveal Matthew standing a few feet away, frozen in place, his hands clasped over his mouth in pure horror.

“You betrayed me,” he whispers dramatically.

Shemar and Lola exchange a glance, unfazed.

“Bro, how long have you been standing there?” Shemar asks, raising an eyebrow.

Matthew’s lips tremble as he slowly points at them. “I trusted you,” he croaks as if they’ve just committed the ultimate crime against him. “I thought we were friends.”

Lola shrugs, taking a bite of her snack. “Well, you are creepy as hell.”

Matthew lets out a strangled noise, clutching his chest like he’s about to collapse. “I—I have to go,” he stammers before dramatically turning on his heel and sprinting out of frame.

Shemar sighs, shaking his head as he watches him flee. “He’s gonna be so much worse now, isn’t he?”

Lola sighs deeply. “Oh yeah. A hundred percent.”

The camera lingers for a moment, capturing their shared look of exhausted resignation before fading to black.

—

With the cameras put away and most of the crew leaving for the day, the energy on set had finally shifted into something more relaxed. The sound of laughter echoed down the hallway as AJ and Matthew strolled into your office, still grinning from whatever ridiculous conversation they’d just been having.

“That was hilarious, by the way,” Matthew said, bumping his shoulder into AJ’s like an overly affectionate younger brother.

“Thanks!” AJ beamed, clearly proud of herself. “I knew it would be funny! Plus, you openly admitted to doing that whole file trick before you asked out Y/N.”

From your desk, you froze mid-motion, your head snapping toward them as a delighted, mischievous grin spread across your face. “What?!” you gasped, giddy with amusement.

Matthew’s face turned an immediate shade of pink, his smug energy from earlier vanishing instantly. “Thanks, AJ,” he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck with an embarrassed chuckle.

“Anytime,” AJ smirked, clearly enjoying this way too much. She patted him on the shoulder before turning back to you. “Y/N, can you still give me a ride home? My car is still in the shop.”

“Of course!” you said, already gathering your things.

“Shotgun!”

The exclamation came simultaneously from both AJ and Matthew, their voices overlapping like two siblings fighting over the best seat in the family car.

You snorted, shaking your head as you slung your bag over your shoulder. “AJ wins.”

Matthew’s mouth fell open in pure, unfiltered betrayal. “Babe,” he gaped, gesturing wildly at you. “What the hell?”

AJ cackled in triumph, already making a beeline for the door. “Sucks to suck, Gubler.”

“I thought we had a thing,” Matthew whined, dramatically clutching his chest as if your decision had physically wounded him.

You shrugged, suppressing a laugh as you locked your office door behind you. “Thing?”

“This is favoritism,” Matthew huffed, following you both out to the parking lot, still sulking like a child who just lost a game of rock-paper-scissors. “I thought you loved me.”

AJ, already getting into the front seat, rolled down the window just to rub it in. “Guess you should’ve let her drop some files in front of you first, huh?”

You burst into laughter while Matthew let out a deeply dramatic groan, slumping against the side of the car.

“Worst. Day. Ever,” he declared to no one in particular as you got into the driver’s seat.

The camera would’ve zoomed in on his sulking face… if it were still rolling.

Supernatural characters I wish we saw more of

Over the weekend I made a post about characters I thought either overstayed their welcome or shouldn't have been created at all.. this is opposite of that! Some characters that were only around for a short while but made an ever lasting impression..

Jessica Moore: I'm sorry, you are telling me, the love of Sam's life was only around for 3 episodes? Hell no! We were robbed of Stanford era Sam, we were robbed of SamJess meet cute!! So robbed! Their chemistry was so instant, even Eileen didn't have the same chemistry with Sam. I'm forever SamJess shipper!!

Meg 1.0: she was badass, cruel, ruthless and i loved her for that. None of that soppy Rachel Miner crap about unicorns and pizza man bullshit. RIP Nicki Aycox, you were amazing

Gordon Walker: he was one of those characters that I loved to hate! A complete psychopath. I needed his cat and mouse game with Sam to last a little longer. He gave me creeps!

that creepy doc from Time is on My Side who harvested organs to be immortal. C'mon so much happened since they buried him alive. You are telling me, he didn't escape ? No! Not buying it. Give me my organ harvesting Hannibal vibe of a creepy doc!

Hellhounds: funny how after s8, everyone just forgot about hellhounds. Remember how terrifying they were? Yeah, what happened?! Needed boys fighting more of those every time they went strolling into hell

Cain: I felt his character was left unexplored. Don't give me a retired, beekeeper. I needed to see the father of murder in the flesh. Timothy was so great, it's a shame they never tapped that potential. We didn't even get a taste of the real Cain

Magda: fuck you, Ketch for killing her. You should rot in hell. She was so interesting and sad. Kinda like a parallel to Sam. Sam and her should have bonded over psychic trauma. I needed someone in Sam's corner. She needed Sam in hers

Pamela: what? She was cool and super useful unlike 80% of the characters that were only around because of you know what. She was funny, bold and brazen. I liked that about her. It was nice to see in the later seasons

Balthazar: probably the only angel I like. Again, funny and far more useful than the others

Victor Henriksen: I know he came across as a hardass but he was just doing his job. He would have been a good ally to the boys in case they needed a cop on their side

Bonus- OG Death: gave me shivers! None of that Billy bullshit. She was annoying. I loved OG Death. He had a class, a taste and that haunting appearance one associates with death. We needed more of him, taunting Dean or being itchy to reap Sam!!

Anyone else wants to extend the list?

we are playing in the “tommy asks buck for an open relationship” sandbox rn. just go with me on this. ok? ok. he is entirely asking for his own purposes (perhaps trying to hook up with eddie perhaps not who’s to say!) but he frames it like well YOU deserve to experiment and be with other guys :) and so buck agrees despite being a diehard monogamist bc he's desperate to be loved and make this relationship work and tommy makes it sound reasonable.

so for a few weeks tommy like casually hooks up with a few people while buck hangs back uncomfortably and eventually buck is like SIGH well i guess i SHOULD get more experience with guys. and he asks eddie to come with him to a gay bar and buck absolutely knocks it out of the park like he's Killing it he and eddie r having fun and he hooks up with someone new every weekend and unlike his buck 1.0 days he's actually just having fun with it bc he isn't looking for emotional intimacy w these people that he'll never find! he's just letting himself explore things and be happy! meanwhile tommy is going for like shitty grindr hookups that don't even show up half the time. he tries asking eddie to Hang Out and eddie leaves him on read. like he is Not doing too hot.

and i think that buck is completely oblivious to the fact that tommy is not having fun like he is. but eddie does know and he's fucking Thrilled. he's just gonna let this shit play out. eddie knows that he loves buck at this point, but he's watching buck actually enjoy himself and kinda revise the terrible relationship he has with sex and find something liberating in it so eddie's okay with sitting back for awhile and letting buck have this while also laughing at tommy. maybe eddie is also finding hookups when they go out maybe not who's to say.

so after a couple months of this buck and eddie are hanging out and buck is like sigh yknow this open relationship thing was fun for a while but i just don't know if i see this thing with tommy going anywhere... like i don't really care when he hooks up with other people and i don't think it's because i'm cool and polyamorous i think it's because i just don't like him that much. and eddie's like well you shouldn't settle for a relationship where you don't really love your partner. yknow he does his sage advice thing. and buck is like yeah you're right...

and later buck goes to tommy and he's like hey man you're really great and i do like you but i think this just isn't really working. i think we both deserve something better. and tommy's like it's eddie isn't it. and buck's like huh? and tommy's like you were with eddie last night. and buck's like oh well yeah he and i were talking and he said- and tommy's like evan stop bullshitting me we're grown-ups you can just say you're dumping me for him. and buck's like sorry Huh. and tommy's like oh come on he was just "wingmanning" all those times you two went out? and buck is like ...yeah?? he's my friend?? and tommy's like sure. whatever fine. this was fun. have a good life evan. and buck's like what da hell...

and then when he tells eddie about the breakup, he mentions it and eddie's like ha 🙄 and buck's like oh haha yeah like that's crazy right! and eddie's like 🙄 as if you'd still be with him if we had been sleeping together. and buck's like . what. and eddie's like i mean. well it's us. we wouldn't... not as some side thing. if it was us, it'd be real.

and buck's like oh. yeah. do you, uh. think about that? if it was... us? and eddie's like ...once or twice. and buck's like ...once or twice? and eddie's like yeah. each time lasts a few years though. and buck laughs and he's tearing up and eddie grins at him and he says so. us? and buck says yeah. yeah, us.

and then they are in love and get married and are happy forever and ever the end 🫶🏻

[a-mel0n]

yknow that one meme of the “no fear” t-shirt and then the “one fear” t-shirt? yeah i just had one of those moments.

buck, in canon, can’t even correct his sister and say that he’s bi in november after six months of dating a man, of falling in love with a man. he didn’t know what the kinsey scale was despite being a known chronic wikipedia article deep-diver.

so, based off of what’s been shown in canon, i have to wonder: did… did buck do pride? like… at all? he spent the entire summer dating a man but didn’t put any thought into his newly discovered identity as a queer man?

because if they do in fact commit to the storyline of buck 1.0 v2, and that’s what leads into buck saying he’s canoncially bi? like he wasn’t sure? i’m going to call bullshit. you’re trying to tell me that evan buckley, who lives in LA, didn’t see any pride celebrations and think, “huh, what am i?” or do any research into queer history?

did buck put the rainbow flag on his instagram bio in june and not think about it… at all? because this is QUITE literally the exact same conflict he had in 7x05, not thinking about or acknowledging his change in identity.

basically my tldr is that this “buck needs more experience to know what he wants as a bi man” (🤢) storyline could have been, and SHOULD have been done in season 7— not after he’s been in an established relationship for 6 months.

do you have any fave possessive characters in bl live adaptations you've watched? who are your top 5 or 10? thx

Sorry it took so long for me to answer this but here we go, fave possessive characters in bl in no particular order

Ming, My Stand In (2024)

Honestly Mind was top 5 characters to me last year, and probably top 5 characters in bl/ql ever, this bitch was positively insane, slept with Joe 1.0 cuz his back looked like the back of another man he wanted to sleep with, little did he know that was Joe 1.0's back the whole time, when Joe 1.0 found out & wanted out of it he kidnapped Joe 1.0, pretty much ruined Joe 1.0's life and Joe 1.0 basically died because of it, and then Ming spend like 2 years waiting for Joe 1.0 in Joe 1.0's house for him like a dutiful wife whose husband went to war, and when Joe 1.0 came back in another body (Joe 2.0) motherfucker found out it was his Joe by giving him backshots and said Sell Yourself To One Direction To save your Mom Now. Literally batshit from start to finish

2. Huaien, Meet You at the Blossom (2024)

For a guy who did not want anything to do with the annoying stupid little puppy dog that wanted him as a wife, Huaien is extremely possessive, when Huaien found out Xiaobao went to a brotel, my guy literally maimed & killed everything in his way to get to Xiaobao even tho he didn't know the full reason why he was there, and when he got there he thoroughly fucked Xiaobao into another dick coma right in the brothel, and carried him home while the whole populace is watching, and that's just one example of his possessiveness, he is literally jealous of everyone and their goddamn momma who breaths near Xiaobao

3. Kinn, KinnPorsche (2022)

I think Kinn is one of those characters who you can almost understand why they are so possessive of their person (even if that doesn't make it right), seeing how everyone he has ever had was also fucked by his cousin Vegas, and the whole bullshit that went down with Tawan, it wasn't surprising that he lost his shit in Vegas' bathroom when he found Porsche there with Vegas, he did apologize and they did end up having tbh the best filmed, lighted & acted makeup shag ever filmed in bl/ql history in my opinion, so I truly cannot stay mad at him for it, and neither could Porsche

4. Speaking of the devil, Vegas, Kinnporsche (2022)

I'm kinda cheating here but I don't think I can talk about KinnPorsche without talking about Vegas, because Vegas possessiveness is such a delicious one to see in bl/ql, that we almost haven't seen since, Ming did do his part at bringing it back as much as he could but it lacked a certain unsafe/misuse/under negotiated bdsm (and I mean actual bdsm not just kidnapping) to drive the point home, with Vegas one thing is certain and it is that Pete is Vegas' Pet, Pete was Vegas' Pet from day one and while the bdsm will probably be negotiated properly after ep 13 & 14, one thing is certain and it's that Pete will continue to be Vegas' Pet forever

4. Phaya, The Sign (2023)

Phaya is one of those characters whose possessiveness you understand (again doesn't make it right) knowing the whole reincarnation situation he got going on with Tharn, like he barely knows what is going on other than the fact that one guy keep trying to take Tharn away from him and they both keep dying & reincarnating about it, that's enough to drive anyone crazy possessive, and make it hard for them to not be deaf to reason, reckless & unforgiving

5. Bison, The Heart Killers (2024)

Literally stop stalking Bison and his man before he kill you, it truly is as simple as that, Bison will notice you following them and fucking around and he will end you, because Bison is not afraid of beating a man up and shooting him, that's literally his job in life, fuck around and find out

6. Kiyoi, Utsukushii Kare (2021)

My memory of this one is wobbly as it's been a while but I think everyone can agree Kiyoi is a special brand of possessive, as in he is acting like he doesn't care the whole time when in reality he is losing his mind, he is even more of a simp than Hira is, he is just fighting for his life to not show it, and the entertaining part is it's not working

7. Zhiyuan, Unknown (2024)

Imagine the brand of possessiveness you develop towards someone you've been in love with basically your whole life and which you never thought anything would come out of cuz he is your brother, and yet you cannot help it, Unknown is just fucking heartbreaking on every front

8. Yoryak, Wandee Goodday (2024)

They might have started as fuck friends, but Yak did end up catching some real feelings for Dee, and became quite possessive of the man, and I don't think there is better proof to this than when Yak found Dee with Ter, didn't really let Dee explain what was going on and literally took his necklace back from Dee in the break up of a relationship that had never even really started yet? Like he was extremely possessive of Dee even if for the most part of the show, he technically had no right to be

9. Both Charlie and Babe, Pit Babe (2023)

Unfortunately my memory is fucking with me again, and I'm cheating by putting 2 characters together, but I don't think i can talk about possessiveness without at least mentioning the alphaxalpha omegaverse show, you can always watch the show to confirm this, but I can assure you they are crazy stupid possessive about each other

10. Bushi, Eternal Butler (2024)/ Yiping, Anti-Reset (2024)

I could honestly cheat again for this one by adding every one both humain x robot couples of the Heng series, because Bushi is as possessive of Heng Si (and vice-versa) as Yiping is possessive of Heng Jui (and vice-versa), the humans are out there fighting societal norms to be with their robots and the robots are quite literally rewriting their programming to do the same thing, this kind of possessiveness is certaintly an interesting brand of monsterfucking, you have Heng Jui doing researches on how to keep Yiping in love with him forever, you have Heng Si telling Bushi that they haven't used his sex function in a while and that it's on, you got Heng Si giving Bushi a ring that's basically a tracking device, I'm gonna stop here cuz I could literally be here all day

11. Bonus : just mentioning, Phayu/Prapai, Love in the air (2022), bothMut and Rak, Love Sea (2024) and Cir, The Boy Next World (2025) while I am at it

Hope this answered you question well enough, thank you for the ask

Behind the BEAST's mask Chapter 43

[lesfir]

I spotted something. Here

The same devnote for mortal and immortal Tav

on AA tag even lol okey. Interesting.

Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, Merriam‑Webster

How some BG3 devnotes looks like:

Making mistakes is ok. But constantly gaslighting while making those mistakes? That’s become a classic move for a part of the Spawn community, the fixers.

Not sure what else to say here. Practice makes perfect. As always — perfect bullshit.

A great example of a fixer-style "analysis": first they come up with their very crooked conclusions about Ascended Astarion, and only then try to bend everything in the text to fit those conclusions.

Here's another one, a classic.

BULLSHIT

They look at each other lovingly. Treating Astarion on the path of Ascension as not himself instead of as "free, honest Astarion with all his feelings" kills his character far more exquisitely than any "I love killing him" stake-guy in Act 1.

By the way, I loaded the Spawn ending. Look.

Spawn Astarion avoids eye contact, hiding himself and his gaze from Tav.

He hides his true self to please others. He’s used to giving that kind of look — to shut out all the pain around him and inside. Astarion himself is once again like in a coffin.

In addition. Check out what I can do.

Did you hear how Astarion calls Tav "Cheeky little pup"?

That’s Cazador speaking.

Astarion uses it on Tav because he’s used to hearing it and maybe even wants to be Cazador for them in Act 1. The word pup scares me. In the Spawn epilogue, he says "Cheeky" but restrains himself before the "pup" part — because he’s afraid they’ll see through him.

He's in the process of not becoming Cazador 2.0 — but that part of him is still alive. Good thing we can fix a potential Сazador with a couple of hugs and 18 Charisma, eh? :D Even that joke better than any fixer’s character analysis of Astarion ever could.

Because to fixers, there is no Astarion who, for the first time in 200 years, finds a partner with whom he can say "ours", "we" and receive that love in return. The one who never trusted anyone now proudly says he's not alone — and he's happy about it.

There’s only a "fix" — a "correct version" that the fixers need. And if it hasn’t been "fixed", then it’s automatically nothing but manipulation, lies and abuse. Anything left unfixed is trash.

That’s what truly shows attitude — Astarion as an object, not as a whole, complex person who is still Astarion on every path.

And on the Ascended path, he’s a free Astarion, Tav and Astarion love each other. That much is certain. That was the narrative arc for the Ascended Astarion romance from the beginning, it still is, and it will continue to be. The true tragedy of Astarion's character is having fixer-fans in his fanbase.

somethings that i needed to get out regarding today's episode:

9-1-1 live airs in the US around 7 am Friday in my country and i get to watch it at 10:30 am on disney hotstar.

I couldn't wait so i was awake all night and was literally on twt since 6:30 am to get some clips.

that's where i find out that bucktommy break up.

i have been devastated all day. i have cried multiple times and i have literally lost count atp. it hurts like an actual breakup and i have absolutely no one irl to share this grief with.

the Abby being the ex-fiance wasn't even a major issue. i have been seen it done so well in so many fics.

Josh's speech was so beautiful and important but then to pull a breakup like that makes no fucking sense.

after what we saw in 8x5 breaking them made absolutely zero sense.

i was too overwhelmed so i tried to sleep and actually watched the entire episode around 11 am. I wanted to keep and open mind and analyse the episode.

twt is literally so toxic rn. I'm not even opening it.

after watching the entire episode i was even more confused as the breakup made zero sense.

we have had 8 seasons of character growth for buck, if they end up making him go back to casual relationships it just feels a complete wastage of 8 seasons of growth.

and from what we've seen in the past episodes the breakup was completely uncharacteristic to both buck and tommy.

it made no sense. why would tommy put so much effort if he knew it wouldn't last.

him constantly showing up for evan and talking about family just made zero sense for him to break up like that.

also it kinda felt weird to bring moving in together before saying i love yous.

and the way he said "the parking spot was too good to be true". this breakup doesn't feel good at all. he was obviously in pain and so was buck. this isn't doing any of them any good.

utter bullshit.

plus the "I'll see you around buck" broke me. like why the fuck would you do that to me and to buck.

it felt like someone put fucking alcohol all over a stab wound and then rubbed salt all over it.

LOW BLOW.

now coming to the post ep interviews which btw made it worse.

i was still under the impression that the way the breakup happened there was still hope for reconciliation because remember even tarlos went through breakups.

but then lou confirmed he might not be back and that this is it. specially that buck line. UGH.

and that #letbuckfuck interview with oliver really triggered me. I'm a bisexual woman and the reason i really loved buck's discovery of his sexuality was bcs Oliver was very determined in Givin a good bi rep.

but this doesn't feel that way. he could have said that he wants to see buck explore his sexuality more with both men and woman but the whole "girl, girl, guy. guy, girl, guy" montage was a very disturbing image.

it feels very stereotypical and biphobic.

it just hurts me so much. idk why i expected so much from a network tv show who has been queerbating for years.

i am gonna be watching this season just to see how they salvage buck's relationship and sexuality. it feels incomplete.

but if it goes in the buck 1.0 direction that's it for me.

i watch 911 as an escape from reality and if it goes so bad i am not continuing with the show.

it has already tested my limits and mental health enough.

also i need to point out that there are a lot of people who enjoy watching sports a lot more than they enjoy playing it. buck is a watcher. he would have loved seeing the Lakers match. just bcs he doesn't like to play doesn't mean he hates basketball.

a little extra side notes-

really excited for another buckley han kid. hope they don't ruin it. want to see how they deal with ppd this time.

also happy for eddie and really hoping he gets chris back soon.

ya'll need to understand how platonic friendship buddie is also so important rn then them getting together bcs eddie is def not ready to date.

if he starts dating he'll feel super guilty for putting his desire above chris all over again.

ALSO FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK- EDMUNDO DIAZ IS CANON STRAIGHT.

[whitehairedanimeboyfriend]

The reason I don't like the end of Rebuild of Evangelion is because Rei, Kaworu, and Asuka all deserved better. They were who they were because of their experiences. A girl that was treated like an object her entire life. A strange little alien that resisted oppressive powers that subdued him in the name of love. A girl who had the weight of the world on her shoulders- and who ultimately failed to meet those expectations, and no one caught her as she fell down to love and support her.

These versions of the characters deserved a happy ending just as much as Shinji did. They deserved rest, and peace. And perhaps the dream sequences in 3.0+1.0 were supposed to be that but they also all died. Is removing those struggles from their lives and putting them in such a different context really giving them their happy ending?

Rei deserves happiness and to enjoy the small things in life despite being a mass produced clone used as a weapon.

Kaworu deserves to find love despite being an alien whose nature diometrically opposed the existence of humans.

Asuka deserves peace and a family that cares about her despite failing so catastrophically it destroyed everything in her life that mattered to her.

Erasing those struggles and flaws is not a conclusion, it's an erasure of these character's experiences. It's saying "none of what these people went through mattered. The only way they could find peace, love, and happiness, is if those hardships never happened."

It was such a bullshit way to end the series.
