#but also season 4 was just a mess

Every time I listen to the Frozen Cast Recording I just want to jump to writing season 3 of A Song of Souls. Like I have so much planned both for just Frozen and season 3 as whole (including a tiny detail that I have to retcon in All I Know is I Want You (Cause I Can't Get Enough) because I wrote it before I knew I was gonna continue that 'verse). I also have a lot I'm excited for in season 4, but I still have to get through literally all of seasons 1 and 2. I have a single paragraph written for chapter 3 of A Song of Souls so far so it's gonna be months (or possibly even a year) before I get to season 3.
#high school musical the musical the series#hsmtmts#not liveblogging#mattie’s fics#a song of souls#soulmate au#i did change the musical for both seasons 2 and 4 though if anyone wants to guess#i won't tell you if you're right but i didn't think it was realistic for them to do beauty and the beast when the school had just done it#a few years prior#and yes i'm aware that there's not a lot realistic about the show#but that's one of the things i refuse to suspend my disbelief about#and it was just weird that they did hsm 3#like it had cool plot parallels#but also season 4 was just a mess

Sometimes I think about what season 4 would’ve been like if instead of introducing Jason and Chrissy, they used two already established characters for those roles. Like Tommy and Carol, for example.
You don’t even have to change much with Eddie or the basketball team, just have Carol be the one buying drugs and have Tommy be the assistant coach on the basketball team or something.
It’d add a layer to Lucas’ story because then he’s not just struggling with peer pressure but also with an authority figure that we’ve already seen be aggressive. I think it adds more weight to Steve helping to clear Eddie’s name because Carol was his friend.
I also think there’s something very interesting about a town mob hunting down and demonizing Eddie, a character whose biggest sin was being different, in the honor of a canonical bully.
#I actually think about this all the time#I think Jason and Chrissy were great characters but man#would’ve it had been messed up if they humanized a character we already knew as a bully and then snapped her in half?#I wish a better writer than me would rewrite the season with these characters in those roles#also wouldn’t it just be nice to see those characters again?#stranger things#stranger things season 4#tommy hagan#carol perkins

I GIVE THY LORD GARMADON, KING OF THE UNDERWORLD
#i have a headcannon that he slowly morphed into good ol four arms we know today#and that instead of beating Samukai as soon as he got there he rose though the ranks and overthrew Samukai#him morphing into an oni would match up with Wu growing old. with them being separated being the cause of this change#he also would mess with his brother and give random evil monologs as a shadow all the time#ninjago#ninjago fanart#ninjago garmadon#lord Garmadon#garmadon#young garmadon#garmadon fanart#also me just realizing that the outfit looks like season 4 monkie kid-#fanart#art

this moment so fucked up💀
#horror spn moments and its dean torturing sam psychologically in 4 different ways under a min he could've just asked if sam lied#the pacing the lightful to knife lethal seriousness the yelling dean so psychopath 💔#this messes with my head bruh i hated how i couldn't actually predict how he'd lash out on sam#chat I think its time to kill dean#its fucked up that sam spends this arc trying to SAVE dean and the narration and dean treat him like he's melting the earth's crust#and must be crucified#meanwhile when dean decides he might have to KILL sam it's painted as a heroic sacrifice for the greater good#sam doomed if he tries to save but is manipulated and doomed if he tries to also save and well-intentioned#and his punishment for both times Is just death#why are we lowering the guillotine on the guy for trying to save his brother???? he was literally distressed and hiding about it#like he's smuggling a nuclear bomb with full determination to destroy the planet#yea there was grave consequences later but dean's gripe was him going against his wish to be doomed with the mark#you can talk respecting wishes if dean wasn't spending the whole last season flagrantly ignoring sam's wishes half the time#and the other half he spends it DEVASTATED when sam says he'll respect his wishes if he were in his shoes. the whole theme of s9 finale#was dean WANTING to be saved by sam and asking for that morally grey treatment back#If he's gon change his mind one minute and the other then he could have just not practically begged for what sam was doing here#dean's emotional fluctuations arent sam's responsibility#this sounds deancrit but no I'm just speaking from a pov everyone collectively decided to ignore part of its nuance#sam winchester#dean winchester#samdean#spn meta in tags#mine#the editing is supposed to make it haha but the scene is still not hahaing sm..

I'd like to think Five and Lila were just fucked in the head after not seeing their families for seven years. I'd like to think they were both starved for love and their brains were warped by the fact that they only had each other to survive off of. I'd like to think that they just wanted a break from the absolute chaos of their lives where they could be loved wholly by another person without question.
But what I'd REALLY like is an exploration of the deepening platonic connection between the two of them that allows for emotional intimacy like we saw in the final subway scene without meddling with their dynamic or integrity as characters and making them total assholes.
#im gonna be honest i didnt really mind it at first cause im a SUCKER for peaceful domesticity#but upon rethinking it and hearing what other people had to say i completely agree#it totally messed up both their characters and was just unnecessary#why couldnt lila just have rediscovered enotional intimacy with diego?#why couldnt they have both realized that what they did was wrong and tried more to repair their connections with each other and diego#before they all fucking died??#also i just really miss the era when five still looked like a child and it resulted in humor and badass moments and absolutely zero romance#that was fun#now hes just a guy#tua s4#tua season 4#tua 4 spoilers#tua s4 spoilers#five hargreeves#lila pitts#lila hargreeves#diego hargreeves

“Why do you like crossovers so much?”
Normal Answer: My favorite shows canonically crossed over when I was younger and it made me realize the potential and fun crossovers can bring!
My Answer: I saw 2 low res drawings of Merida/Rapunzel and Hiccup/Jack Frost making out Sloppy Style and being besties on my shitass ipod and it forever changed my brain chemistry. For better or for worse I can’t tell you, but I am having fun here.
#rotbtd still has a place in my heart and I’ll love it dearly; but I need you guys to understand my anger when Frozen started getting-#crossovered with it. It wasn’t cause I didn’t like Frozen; I actually really like the movies! I just didn’t believe for a second-#that Elsa would ever get with a dumbass like Jack and Anna and Hiccup would just be besties#also adding 2 more people to the 4 messed up a lot of the dynamics and aus cause many of them surround the fact that they’re 4 of them#like the seasons/ATLA aus got fucked UP cause people really wanted to add those 2.#as you can see I still have some quiet anger in me about it even though it’s been 10 whole years now lol#crossovers#rotbtd#rise of the brave tangled dragons#crossover#fandom#prince rambles in this chilies tonight

saw someone on twitter say "one of the main characters in a loki show should have been thor odinson, not some random Sylvie or Mobius.
...... It's like a written law"
wdyt do you agree
I don't think it was necessary to make Thor a main character in a Loki show, the same way it WOULD be possible to throw together a Thor movie without having Loki be a main focus.
The issue comes in the quality of the narrative itself, and writing that if evidently without intention to care for (whichever) main character's importance will not work out. Neither the Loki series nor Thor 4 cared about the arc, motivations, history, or continuity of the titular characters beyond trying to make the media marketable.
Overall messaging can add a layer to the impact a story will have. Musical score can be a bonus way to control tone or tie a story together. Supporting cast can be vital to tell a good story. Prioritising their presence over anyone's (especially Loki's) characterisation is what the Loki series suffered from, not that other, original-adjacent characters were there.
#i'd say it was tell not show but frankly the plotline was so poorly done i don't think showing would have helped#it would have solidified the side characters better though#if they had put effort into characterising Loki right then poorly done side characters could've been a non-issue#messing up the main characters which are supposed to be part of a continuity is the number 1 issue#not managing the screen-time well was the number 2 issue#too much time wasted setting up characters that were going to monologue about their importance anyway??#too much time spent trying to establish the TVA as something important and controlling but somehow good#so much could have been cut out of the show and still gotten all that across#the relationships people built did so in like 2 days in-universe iirc so i wouldn't call them solid#season 1 was a useless introductory setup for the multiverse that didn't have any impact because there were like 4 other setups#scrap the characterisation and call it a reboot and it still threw Loki out as a weak and completely conventional protagonist#that's not engaging when every other character is also boring overall#even if their concepts weren't boring the way it was done was#The Loki Show#i can't be bothered thinking about the show because there's just so much#where would one start#i don't care enough about it to hate the show but i did find the fight choreography lacking too#the camera angles and general videography wasn't good#i have the same complaints about the choreography with every other disney+ show they put out#not even bothered with the MCU frankly#i'm happy to pretend the movies stopped after phase 2

okay as far as season four of teen wolf goes i am like. very confused as to what the fuck kate's motive even is? like she came back from the dead and she's screwing with derek and making her berserker servants kill people but like. WHY. ik there was like that one scene with peter where it was implied she wanted to make the argents great again (aka reinstate them to their former genocidal werewolf-hunting glory) but that doesn't make complete sense to me when she herself is now a shifter. or like maybe she's just that hypocritical idk (wouldn't put it past her). but even with that idk it doesn't make SENSE. why did she kill garrett and violet? why did she try to make scott's pack kill him? why did she do all that just to get derek to open the vault? literally what the fuck
if anyone has thoughts please share im at a loss here
#i enjoyed WATCHING IT but i feel like writing-wise season four was kind of a mess#and i'm realizing that even more as i'm trying to write an au of it#like. so much stuff that just feels so random or out of the blue or not solid.#kate's motive. the whole thing where MEREDITH was the benefactor but only because PETER gave her the list six years ago in a coma he doesn't#-even remember#i mean meredith being the benefactor alone and the reasoning they gave for it kind of made sense. with her feeling like all the supernatural#-s do is hurt people INCLUDING herself and wanting a fresh start.#but where the FUCK did peter come from. what#also how fucking old is meredith bc they have her in flashbacks with lydia's GRANDMA and in the same hospital as peter 6 years before canon#and yet shes played by a 20 smth yr old and said to be like sixteen or smth??? what???#idk just if anyone had thoughts (mainly on the kate thing bc thats what im struggling with the most) pls share them#magpie thoughts#magpie's teen wolf experience#teen wolf#teen wolf season 4#triptych brainstorming

So about that episode....
Are we gonna talk about how Yosano remembers all the soldiers that died even 14 years later? Or how protective Tanizaki is of all the ADA members (told Yosano he'd take her place, yelled at Jouno for hurting Kenji, his whole thing with Naomi, his concern when Atsushi was kidnapped, yelling in absolute terror when Kunikida sacrificed himself)? Or how Ranpo and Yosano are actually THE friendship of all time? Or how Fukuzawa got so feral and enraged for her sake? Or how Yosano sees the agency as the place that actually wanted her even if it didn't need her? Or how she will do anything to protect it? Or how this entire season is just telling us what a family they are? And how her entire backstory is all about the value of life and how she held onto how valuable individual lives were despite everything about it (war, her ability, Mori) telling her to commodify humans lives? Or just how incredibly Yosano's kindness is portrayed, showing us that she can be kinda sadistic and sarcastic and terrifying but still be called kind? Or, or, or ....
#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#anyway guess who finally watched the latest episode despite still having things to complete#i'm literally going to cry they're so....#I'm SERIOUS I CAN'T DO THIS I JUST LOVE ADA AS FAMILY SO MUCH#also this episode made me realise that we're actually right in hating mori it just shouldnt be for dazais sake#but i still hold to him being an interesting character#and also?? forget breaking dazai#i want to see mori crumple like a wet piece of paper and his spirit thrown into a blender#anyway time to go scour the drafts i saved up and scream inside because WOW#i am so glad they didnt mess up on it#bsd#bungo stray dogs#bungou stray dogs#bsd yosano#bsd tanizaki#bsd musings#spitting nonsense#bsd s4 spoilers#bsd season 4#bsd spoilers#character analysis#i guess

i think about the fact that Nico’s powers randomly include temperature control way too much. he can make stuff cold! and is apparently immune to cold himself, at least to some degree! why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯probably ghost reasons! even though it is not inherently tied to ghosts at all and he can just Do That!
#pjo#riordanverse#nico di angelo#its probably ghost reasons for the whole ''oh ghosts are cold'' and ''ghosts make enviornments color'' thing#the other theoretical reason is ''something something mythology'' cause yknow. the whole myth of how the seasons happened#but based on that alone then Nico shouldnt necessarily have that power?#itd be more of a cabin 4 thing#idk i just like his weird cold powers. theyre so random. he is immune to cold and can drop the temperature around him. good for you bud.#it's fun to mess around with too cause Nico is basically completely unaware of it#he just does it by accident like his killing grass thing#''Nico why is there frost everywhere and its below freezing all of a sudden?'' ''oh sorry i thought i saw a bug''#my favorite part though is the temperature powers thing seems to not be inherently tied to nico himself just naturally running cold#though it could probably affect that as well. nico naturally running cold is most likely his vitals run slower than most people's#cause we know he can control that re: Death Trance#which is another interesting thing. Nico can control his vitals! he can just go ''im gonna take five on MY HEART FUNCTIONING real quick brb'#Nico's bleeding out? no problem! just. turns off his heart. crank that puppy down a bit. cant bleed out if the blood's not moving!#this could also be why he passes out so much. his powers make his blood pressure inherently low and then uses them more. whoops. hes asleep.#i do v much like the hc that Nico just. cannot perceive external temperature. he's just always A Little Chilly cause of his powers#doesnt matter what the actual temperature is. he'll be fine. just also Slightly Cold thus Always Needs Layers

Jason's villain arc is even sillier on the rewatch.
#smallville rewatch#smallville season 4#I know why it's such a mess from a meta perspective & I understand sometimes your villain quits and one of your regulars books another show#but in narrative it's all very what on earth was the point of this#but also they do this so often at least some of it has to be a lack of care toward characterization#Helen from season 2 & 3 comes to mind. If he goal was always financial most of her actions are not in line with that goal#Or Adam from season 3 who was just kind of a dick & desperate to survive even if it meant killing? what was that for?#people don't always act rationally or in their own interest of course and it can be really interesting when circumstances force a character#to act unlike what we think of as themselves but I think it's also pretty obvious when a character arc is just a left turn or a narrative#convenience

throughout the series of drake and josh it pretty consistently implies that josh nichols is a christian (josh peck is jewish) and in the finale of the series helen (played by yvette nicole brown, not jewish[?]) is portrayed as a practicing jew
#i dont have a problem w either of those things necessarily i just find it interesting#if i had to guess. drake and josh was a mainstream that didnt wanna touch on religion generally#but josh was kind of a dork and usually when josh's religious beliefs are implied it is in dorkish ways#such as praying and thanking the lord after he has his first kiss.#but since dan schneider is jewish perhaps he wanted to make helen have a jewish wedding in the finale?#not that there needs to be a reason. but u do notice occasional jewish-related jokes in d&j but none of them are what you could call#offensive. in good faith that is. 'eric is a pacifist' 'i thought he was jewish?' like come on#text post#i have been rewatching drake and josh recently and i have had so many thoughts#im almost done. i just have left that stupid dance episode that they premiered last for the stupid reason#of a special dance-themed premiere night in fall 2007. they premiered the third episode of icarly and a new zoey 101 on the same night#which i think is so stupid. they should've aired really big shrimp last. it messed w my understanding of the series at the time lol#i remember not really knowing that the show was ENDING. like i knew icarly was starting & miranda was doing that#i thought really big shrimp was like just another special like go hollywood.#and then like two days later they premiered the helicopter episode for some reason#and i was like why is drake not famous in this. he just had a number 1 song in a superbowl commercial#and then a month later the dance one. which. if anything is satisfying about that as a final episode it's just that#that unnamed girl from the blues brothers episode who is obsessed w drake shows up again and congratulates them#and the very final line of the series is 'who is she?' because. because really who IS she?#that's a funny enough throwback to wrap things up with i suppose#drake and josh wasn't a highly serialized show so i can see how they could air those after the intended finale and act like it didn't matte#but i have to tell you it did fuck with my brain a bit at the time. lol. i still think of those episodes as having 'happened' after#and on paramount plus those episodes are still placed after really big shrimp. the injustice#but thats kinda messy. what a weird way to end such an influential and popular sitcom#season 4 had a few lowpoints while still also having some VERY solid episodes.#idk. ill have to continue my series review another time im getting way too longwinded here#helen dubois is jewish

Hmm. I just found my old fanfiction.net account. I never posted anything on it, but it bought back a lot of memories of me reading fanfiction, mostly at night, and mostly about hws Seborga, as he was my favourite character back then :] I dunno, it feels awfully nostalgic.
#just talking recreationally#Tbh i dont remember how old the account is#At most its probbaly 4 years old but most likely less than that#I serched for it because I was searching for a fic for a rarepair (if youre curious its a Hong Kong×Seborga fic)#Back in the day I mostly read fanfic on there insetad of AO3. AO3 is great but ffnet makes me feel this sort of sentimental way i think#(Also I still love Sebby I just. Have been focusing on other characters)#Idk what is the point of this post. Spring(and summer. Actually all seasons in their own way) in general make me a foolish wistful mess#I guess you could say...I'm rather maudlin

haven't been watching the last games so I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert here but blaming the goalies for the canes' current mess is so stupid lol
antti, freddie and pyotr have been the reason why the canes were being bailed out almost night after night because we just don't have a pure goal scorer and TD refuses to sign one, you can only go as far when your only consistently good players are your goalies
you can have literally God on that net that if your defence is a mess (like the canes' is) and your top guys are asleep almost every game (like the canes' is), your team will still be shit
TD spent last summer losing time instead of addressing our actual issues, just brining in guys who don't buy into rod's system and literal locker room cancers, and then people wonder why the team can't click and they all look disjointed
#honestly at this point the only top player who deserves a break is svech and only bc he just came back from a serious injury#sepe is mia and he's supposed to be OUR guy lol#also jordo shouldn't have been given a 4 year contract and the captaincy should've been given to sepe#canes#this post is @ sara civian girl your takes are so fucking shit sometimes.................#goaltending hasn't been good don't get me wrong!!#they're a mess#but honestly what about the canes has been good this season? nothing lol
