#but hey i need to bitch about it

[kickassfu]

spoilers ig i'm just rambling

just saw Amanda the Jedi talk about the 4th season of the umbrella academy and jfc...what the fuck were they thinking writing this

and the sentiment i keep reading and agree with is

they really got a bunch of traumatized characters and said the world can only survive if you erase your existence. and they said this to viewers that connected with those characters and saw themselves in those characters.

and i think that's fucked up.

i'm not saying stories can't be tragedies or have tragic endings. but you gotta chose the story to do that and how you do it.

like i still remember watching the magicians and what they did to Quentin and how that absolutely broke me. because there he is a depressed, nerdy bi character "sacrificing" (it's just basically suicide, it is. they have warning on the episode. and after death Quentin pretty much admits to it) for his friends.

and it didn't just break me. it broke a whole group of people. yes we shouldn't get this attached to fictional stories and characters that we have actual breakdowns over it. but i did. and lots of people did too.

but i think if you turn to your depressed audience and say, face to face, "you'd be better off dying" i think it's bad writing. i don't think it's "oh stories can't have tragic endings anymore?" it's a bad message to have.

i don't get it why writers keep doing this with traumatized, depressed characters that people with, obviously, the same issues connect with. AND THEY DON'T EVEN DO A GOOD JOB WITH IT!!!! like maybe a better writer could've done it in a way that made sense and wouldn't hurt beyond the "i love this character and they died so i'm sad"

stop telling your audience that the world would be better off without them. just don't do that.

and the whole Quentin thing, i'll never forgive the writers because they were so proud of themselves for killing the main character who was just a white dude :) great! so progressive. there was nothing to him more besides him being dude and white. fuck you 🖕

Danny Is An Alternate Version Of Ra's Al Ghul And Flash Already Called Dibs On Adopting Him

Danny In All His Sleep Deprived Slightly Scuffed Up From A Fight Glory Is On His Way To Clockworks Tower To Hopefully Get A Nap And Maybe Some Homework Done When A Natural Portal Opens Up In Front Of Him And Proceeds To Unceremoniously Drop Him In The DC Verse Just Outside Of Central City Before Promptly Closing Leaving A Tired Danny Behind In A Run Down Abandoned Parking Lot.

It's Times Like This When Danny Regrets Putting Off Learning How To Make His Own Portals, Cause Now He Is Very Much Stuck For The Foreseeable Future And He Has No Idea Where Or When He Is. Luckily For Him However Central City Isn't Too Far Away, Unlucky For Him However Is That Once In The City He Realizes This Isn't His Dimension. He's Pretty Sure He'd Remember Something Called The Justice League.

So What Do You Do When Supernatural Bullshit Fails You? You Fall Back On Your Mad Scientist Roots And You Make A Portal Gun. So That's Exactly What Danny Plans To Do.

Unfortunately Staying Alive And Building Questionably Safe Portal Technology Requires Money And Supplies, So He Ends Up Wandering From City To City Doing Odd Jobs/Fixing Up Busted Tech For Cash Or Unwanted Electronics For His "Operation: Get Home" Needs. This Obviously Ends In A Few Superhero Encounter Shenanigans.

Though He Always Ends Up Back Near Central City, Both On The Off Chance The Natural Portal Will Open Up Again And Because Out Of All The Superheroes That Apparently Exist In This Universe The Speedsters Are His Favorite (Red Robin Is Solidly His Second Favorite Ever Since The Gotham Vigilante Gave Him A Large Coffee Filled With Enough Caffeine To Kill A Man).

Unbeknownst To Danny However Is That Every Hero/Vigilante He Has Encountered Has Come To At Least One Of The Following Conclusions; 1. Run Away Meta Who Is In Desperate Need Of A Good Meal/Adoption Bait. 2. Possibly Red Robin/Tim Drake Clone 3. A Good Kid But Could Possibly Be A Future Rouge If Left Unsupervised. 4. Did Bats Get A New Kid And Why Is He Here?

All Flash Knows Is That He Saw The Kid First And Therefore Has Dibs. Suck It Bruce.

Fast-forward A Few Months And Danny Gets Hurt During A Rogue Attack While Trying To Help Some Civilians Get To Safety (Old Hero Habits Die Hard (Ha Die Hard) And All That Jazz) And He Nopes Out Once Everyone Is Safe And When The Paramedics Are Busy With Other People Unaware He Left A Blood Sample Behind.

One DNA Test Brought To You By Paranoid Bat Concerns Of A Possible Red Robin Clone Later And They Find Out That Dannys DNA Matches One Ra's Al Ghul.

They Now Think Danny Is An Escaped Ra's Al Ghul Clone.

Constantly plagued with thoughts of Edwin now knowing he enjoys being courted and Charles (compulsive charmer) with a whole new arsenal up his sleeve (laser focus on Monty’s whole deal)

“I mean, my smile is prett-y convincing” yeah yeah okay I can see where this is heading. Outlook not so good (for me)

Little baby boy baby

I’ve got this thought that togruta’s coloring will be all washed out and faded when malnourished, and becomes brighter and more vibrant the healthier they are. So, have fun with that

Jianzhu in his chapters: *talking about/mentioning Hei-Ran* Me: Baby boy I need you to stop narrating for a second and give me a POV switch real quick. I need to know what's going on in Fire Mama's head.

introducing the unwilling captain of the Dynamos, former Inspector Second Class Lyfrassir Edda! 

The AU where lyfrassir tries to hunt the prison mechs down with their shiny new eldritch powers (and a gun) for ditching them while their system was vored by a crusty imperialist’s eldritch sugar mommy.

Unfortunately, they’re not the only survivor of a Near Mechs Encounter interested in finding the crew of the starship Aurora— not by a long shot.

head in my hands working on a self portrait and I thought I finished it so I sent it to myself so I could post it and then realized I forgot my moles and acne but now I don't want to look at my drawing tablet again this is literally so sad

[crimeronan]

probably i SHOULDN'T migrate elsewhere if tumblr goes belly-up. i just scrolled thru my dash for 20 minutes and in that short span i could feel myself transform from a mildly tired 27-year-old butch into an active serial killer.

do you believe you could change me, the way I've changed you?

[tsundereition]

omg guys proshipper isn't "basic dni criteria", like that list is supposed to represent actual irl issues(*), not some 2020 internet discourse. you guys are so annoying like if you're uncomfortable interacting with proshippers i understand and respect it, although you probably have a very twisted idea of what the word means (would make a separate post abt it but there are hundreds already). but please don't equate it to actual crimes. (*)also do you seriously think that a bigot troll is going to read your dni and be magically expelled from your strong aura. if anything it's going to make them want to harass you more. it's obvious that those lists are just a pose like "if i don't put racists dni they're gonna think i'm racist" NO aaagh you don't have to over-specify(?) everything about you when interacting online can we please go back to being normal istg. reject modernity embrace not writing a dni list and just blocking people like a normal person <3

[scopophobia-polaris]

Honestly could we throw out the idea that totk's story issue is that it isn't consistent with the lore of the older games but instead drops intresting world building from botw because it might have gotten actually dark

If you can’t be real with me about how you feel and allow me to be real with you about how I feel I don’t want you around me
