It would be incredibly stupid if I Saw the TV Glow didn't work for me as much as We're All Going to the World's Fair simply because I have loved the internet since it was dial-up in my parents' basement, but television wasn't really allowed in our house.
And yet.
#it was a thoughtful and more mature movie than world's fair; and the visual choices alone are staggeringly beautiful#the arc of the story really feels unique; in that it neither reaches for a happy or heroic ending#yet also refuses to completely despair. owen might give up at times but the story doesn't.#(though I would argue world's fair does this too a bit; having jlb deliver that final monologue#casts doubt on what he's telling you. it might be that casey rejoined the world or he might be lying. you don't know.)#but I fucking love the internet. and world's fair understood that.#a proscenium for our dreams

bunk bed junction minutes before entering a haunted house attraction: This is gonna be really fun. Let's try to power through like champs!
b2j afterwards: [mayday stumbles out, left ponytail down, other two barely intact, one (1) braid, right pant leg hiked up 2 inches, carrying a half-unconscious zuke 10ft from of the exit before collapsing on her knees in front of the camera crew] My drummer... take him......
#nettsy rambling#i think they'd be relatively fine in a haunted house when going in solo#because neither mayday or zuke really seem easily-frightened#to me at least#but i think SOME kind of switch would flip if they went in one togeyher#that makes them both act like BUFFOONS#cut to them arguing over who should hide behind who#zuke claims that SHE's way fiercer meanwhile may's reasoning is that HE is bigger and therefore more of a barrier

How do you imagine King Roland I, would be like as a grandfather?
#king roland i#I personally don't have much faith in him#I think if he wasn't literally dead in the plot he would be dead to the rest of the royal family#😬😬😬😬😬😬😬#I feel like he follows Goodwin's vibe of “traditional and conservative” very much#but I don't think he would if he could change his mind about many things#I think he would accept neither Miranda nor Sofia into the royal family#Roland II would definitely cut ties with him on behalf of his family#Aunt Tilly too#If Roland II's father said something against Miranda or Sofia#I think Roland II would defend them at all costs and would argue with his father#even if Miranda and Sofia didn't know what Roland's father thinks about them#sofia the first fandom#sofia the first#sofia the fandom

I'm suffering Fates Brain Rot so I drew OCs? Logical!
Nytis (blondie) is a demon cleric who hates feeling any form of pain but lives to cause others pain (he does indeed see the irony of becoming a cleric). In order to help protect himself he forms a pact with Elnae (red gal) and she basically fights in his place if there is a threat of injury. She also does little errands like info-getting and sneaking around for him.
The thing is, while he can hurt others no problem and it's satisfying, he was granted the ability to heal others after he swore allegiance to a deity he holds no respect nor regard for. He honestly doesn't care about whatever gods exist. HOWEVER. As a demon, simply using holy magic actually hurts him so he's a pretty stingy healer and has a sword "just in case" he has to fight.
That said, he does actually have one thing he refuses to let go unpunished: a kid being injured/cursed. He might be a messed up demon but he draws the lines at letting kids suffer. When El asks about it and is like "haha what, did you have a bad childhood too, buddy?" he's like "???? How else would I end up like this? As a cleric? Hurting myself to heal? What the hell is wrong with you YES I had a bad childhood."
#my characters#hes actually really mad when hes planning to be in a town for a day and then dip and he sees a kid in the markets#who looks like a zombie almost while still living and he realizes that someone CURSED THIS CHILD#and so he orders El to go dig up the dirt around town and he goes over and lifts the curse#its super painful on his end but seeing the life return to the kids eyes is like aight i can take it#and then he finds out the church of that town had some really shady dealings and they cursed the kid#and that the kid was supposed to die when they turn ten and hes like hey wtf lets go ruin the church el#and shes like are you.... are you declaring war..... on some church.... as a cleric.................. sir. what.#anyway they argue a lot and bicker and are secretly good friends#neither one will admit it tho#also shes super gay and is like you know if i didnt have a pact to serve i would love to travel and flirt with women thatd be nice#and nytis is like great thank you for the info now go do (thing)#i dont really draw them much but i really like them

What's interesting about witnessing the shift in Tom and Shiv's relationship, is that for the first 3 seasons Shiv got to live in comfort of being her father in the relationship. She was in control. She was the emotionally detached one, keeping Tom at a distance from her inner vulnerable self like her father does to her and her siblings, despite Tom always appealing to that side of her, bearing himself and wanting that intimacy. She held all the power, and in holding all the power she felt secure that she wasn't going to be screwed over (like her dad did to her mum) and abandoned (like she felt her mum did to her). She could escape the fucked up divorce her parents had by being the embodiment of power (her father),,, which, like a lot of children of a messy divorce, she wanted to avoid such a thing for herself at all cost, and pride herself on her marriage and choice of partner instead of getting help for the trauma and damage she'd carried since childhood. Shiv was safe. She was secure. Like her dad, she had her own dog to kick to test its loyalty and feel secure and reassured every time that dog came back to her side.
But then the dog did bite back. Tom did betray her. The man she viewed as beneath her, all worshipping, and in her eyes nowhere near as smart as her, outplayed her and betrayed her and won over the approval of the very man that she'd been emulating. And now she's not her father. She's the last person she ever wanted to be. She's her mother. She's the one on the receiving end of Logan through Tom, making the divorce messy and difficult and painful by using the same tactics he did with her mother, something that gets to her easily and makes her extremely upset to the point where she's verging on tears. Tom is the one at Waystar + ATN. Tom is the one saying "uh huh." To her.
She thought that she could escape her mother's fate by being her father. By being cold and distant and emotionally closed off. By being the one who kicked the dog. She let her trauma and fears rule and guide her into making decisions and behaving in harmful ways (to Tom and herself) that she thought would protect her and never let her be hurt. And none of it worked. Because despite it all, she became her mother.
#became her mum in context of the relationship*#Shiv Roy#tom wambsgans#tomshiv#failmarriage#like ultimately her downfall was how the trauma of her parents messy divorce impacted and ruled her without her even being aware#because she was taught by Logan that emotions are a weakness so you better not get emotional about anything#you better repress all that shit and act like it doesnt bother you#let your subconscious cauterize itself till you can't hear it but you just let it rule you#and so cos she didn't sort of her shit (none of the siblings have and neither has Logan) she was ruled by this trauma#cos thats what happens when you have trauma and you dont sort it out#it lead to her being an asshole to Tom#because in her eyes her getting to be the emotionally absent partner that cares less for the other is more safe#she's in control. she kicks the dog.#and it calmed her subconscious and made her feel safe and at ease#not taking into account how that would wear Tom down over time#esp when Tom had someone like Greg at his side. like i fr don't know if Tom woulda ever betrayed Shiv if it wasn't for him having Greg#basically in short jus cos you're traumatised doesn't give you excuse to be an asshole to others to feel good and safe#it just means you're continuing the cycle#and people can argue that Tom knew what he was getting into in regards to loving her#but she also coulda put a stop to the relationship at any time. she chose to continue it and dish out on Tom#and took his love for granted#anywayyyyzzz#i love Shiv i love Tom#and it's sad#but consequences for actions and all that#succession#succession hbo

making the funniest au ever with my durge and raphael post game being the most insufferable people alive. egotistical devil who’s busy taking over the 9 hells and a trickster god thing who’s bored
#n.txt#like it’s so funny#and they argue like a married couple but neither of them are committed they’re just boning#cass is just BORED#he has nothing to do anymore and boning the handsome devil he made a deal with is kind of fun#they argue 24/7#anyways i think even with the crown he’s still kind of a loser#he would have to do so much work to get the ball rolling

im glad belos got what he deserved and is actually fully gone for good and wont ever hurt anyone ever again, but its also really funny and fascinating to think about shoving luz and ghost-belos into a locked room together where neither of them can physically harm each other and just force them to have an actual honest conversation for once
#krav talks#toh#toh spoilers#they wouldnt even try to convince the other to come to their senses. been there done that. even belos has to admit that he lost and luz won#nah they'd end up talking extensively about magic theory.#if belos was forced to be civilized and talk to luz like a fuckin equal for once he'd end up infodumping. i know it#also he'd ask so many questions about what the human realm is like after 400 years#belos could explain some things and luz could explain some things and they wouldnt 'bond' persay but more a grudging mutual respect#luz threatens to withhold information whenever he strays too close to any sort of 'witches are the spawn of satan and must die' talk#belos does the same when luz tries to preach about how witches are good and that his god probably isnt even real#so they dance around those topics bcus they both have constant hunger for knowledge and will make compromises to get it#and luz knows belos cant hurt anyone anymore so denying him it is pointless#he's also surprisingly really fun to debate with. at least about stuff that dont have any moral or ethical implications#like glyph combinations neither of them attempted before#i can fully imagine belos insisting that using fire and ice in such a way would only backfire#but luz arguing the opposite because of the way they interacted together in this other combo that she used once#but neither of them can prove it bcus the glyphs dont work anymore so it never really escalates beyond concepts

How would Kokoci, Admiral tarung and M.A.T.A leaders react to Ali and Boboiboys friendship?
LDF AU
At first Admiral Tarung and Kokoci will be disappointed that something like this(them falling into M.A.T.A's field) managed to happen but they can't really blame Ochobot for opening a portal in a panic(power sphere privileges? Or maybe just common sense) but then they will start asking bbb and his friends what happened
Time skip cuz yes
Boboiboy: yeah that's what happened
Kokoci: Ok s-
Fang: are we gonna skim over the fact that Boboiboy actually knows one of the people from that group?
Admiral Tarung and Kokoci: WhAT?!
Boboiboy(knows trouble is coming): eheh... right ummm
And then they bombard bbb with questions like who else does he know from this group, what he knows about this group and what he has told this person he's friends with which is reasonable(panic)
M.A.T.A heads on the other hand, while weary would be very shocked(because the kids that landed on their grounds basically got aliens confirmed) and interested in alien technology. They will most likely get Ali to try and make Boboiboy form an alliance(?) of sorts between TAPOPS and M.A.T.A so they can experiment with said technology and learn more
As you can probably guess the TAPOPS team isn't really sure about that, perhaps even downright against it
Edit: TL;DR TAPOPS is panicking and M.A.T.A is thinking of exploiting their friendship
#LDF AU#Long Distance Friendship AU#ejen ali x boboiboy crossover au#ejen ali#boboiboy#boboiboy galaxy#hmmm yes#drama#honestly speaking tho#bbb would probably not do that cuz he would see that as more of a burden for ali#since those two would be the 'link' between tapops and mata its safe to say#that it would put a lot of stress on someone who shouldn't have to deal with this#and ali would probably deny cuz he doesn't want to make bbb's... 'job' more difficult#so neither boy would agree to this alliance#... i wanna see ali and the mata heads arguing about this now#tapops would be relieved at bbb's choice tho

Oh wow I had no idea the website I'm using actually color codes which episodes are filler or not. Looks like I don't need to find that article then.
#all filler binge watch here i come 👀👀👀#i did kinda get the urge to start watching the bort dub tho. but i still need to watch road to sakura and then The Last first#anyway RtN was awesome and i love iruka THATS NART'S DAD 2!!!! but i kinda dont have anything else to say about it after the end lmao#i guess if anything i just wish sasori had a line or two. i really wanted to hear jyb's sasori voice again 🥺#very funny that hidan had like. one scream laugh and that was it. of course thats all the dialogue he would get lmao#im assuming the LT akatsuki are kinda morally gray in terms of the mercenary work they do instead of just outright villains#considering kakuzu and hidan AND SASORI???? were still among them#i doubt sasori's personality changed much and clearly neither did hidan or kakuzu's. but being the LT at all means they must have#i mean. deidara was very fine with the work he was doing to help and tbh seemed more work oriented too#but maybe thats what happens when hes not bickering and arguing and hating uchihas so mucj#cuz he was fine working with. and i assume taking orders from itachi???#so i guess they do have differences that keep them in a smiliar line of work while remaining the same person at their core#but not like. AS fucked up????#very interesting to think about who they are in the LT. ALSO IM NOT OVER WHAT CHARASUKE MIGHT THINK OF MERCENARY ITACHI!!!#like. is he secretly worried about itachi's line of work???? did itachi have a falling out wit#*with their parents and left home to eventually become a mercenary??? is charasuke mad at him???#IS THE FUCKBOY PERSONALITY A COVER UP FOR HIS PROBLEMS WITH HIS POTENTIALLY STRESSFUL HOME LIFE DUE TO ITACHI'S LIFE????#I HAVE NEVER CARED ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP MORE THAN I POSSIBKY COULD IN THIS MOMENT RIGHY NOE#FINALLY A VERSION OF THEM I CAN GIVE A SHIT ABIUT AND NOT JUST RELENTLESSLY HATE ITACHI FOR!!!!!#AND WE GOT FUCKING NOTHING FOR IT!!!!!!! FUCK#personal

why do people always ascribe this like ‘Sam always fakes being nice but dean is actually nice’ narrative to the show?? From the bottom of my heart why?
if anything it seems like the reverse is true and yet?????
#just had another podcast say this#(ANOTHER. Bc I’m pretty sure ALL of them have come to this conclusion)#and there’s no fucking evidence for it???????#just say you don’t like Sam but you do like dean#It’s hard to get my thoughts in order about this too#but frankly I might argue the reverse of this is true#or well. That neither of them ever really ‘fake it’ as it were#but Sam will just straight up not engage if he’s not interested in engaging in things???? He fields a lot of criticism for that too#so why would he be faking it when he /does/ engage???#What even leads you to the conclusion that he’s being insincere???????#lea speaks

i’ve always thought regulus black and draco malfoy are essentially the same character except instead of cowering in the corner like a pussy the whole war regulus actually did something (and failed spectacularly ohhhh my god imagine talking so much shit in a locket and then dying before you even get the chance to destroy the first horcrux like be so serious right now.) but do i still like both of them? yes! is that because i’m a bully and draco malfoy in particular is very much pathetic and a joke? yea!
ohh yeah i mean. well i take ur point absolutely but i feel like its had the adverse effect for me in that as a result i do not like either of them. i love r/s and i think they are both pathetic in a good way like they are good people who just happen to be a little pathetic but to me draco is just pathetic in an unlikeable way. he is pathetic in a self-serving spoilt irritating way there is no affection to his patheticness. and as for regulus well i don't know that guy ill be so real with you rn but like idk. i am not fond of that guy. not when his brother is right there
#the thing with regulus. and the whole redeeming-himself thing. is that i still dont think that means theres anything likeable about him.#as in a character being morally good and likeable are completely different concepts. you can like a terrible character if there#is something likeable in them even if theres nothing morally good in them. you can dislike a morally good character if theres nothing#likeable about them. just because theyre a good person doesnt mean i care about them doesnt mean youve given me something to like#about them or to inspire affection in me for them. and that is my issue with him. okay he redeemed himself (and only after becoming a#wizard fascist in the first place) but what about him is likeable. like does he have a single canon likeable trait. i would argue no.#and then draco is neither likeable nor morally good. and hes not even fun to hate i just dont care about him i think tom felton's#damage has been irreparable for some people frankly.#and then theres the difference between liking and character and enjoying a character. which again are completely separate things#(<- none of this is directed at you anon i am just thinking out loud right now xx)#telegram#anon

I just NEED someone anyone I know to watch the banshees of inisherin like I have to have a little chat about it soon or I'll explode
#i desperately need to discuss whether we think the movie uplifts or condemns the idea of niceness i keep thinking about it#like IS colin farrell nice? WAS he 'nice'? does niceness actually mean anything when shit gets tough?#but like i would never argue that colm is in the right either.#obviously both of them are insane but that's neither here nor there.#fundamentally the two questions for me are. is colin farrell truly nice. and is niceness a quality worth having.#according to the film. ugh can we talk about it I've got shit to say!!!#.txt

in fairness, i think amy was specifically going after bad people? like. iirc, she wasn’t choosing them randomly, she was choosing people who were harming others. which adds a bit of important context. however i get the overall point you’re making
I am very aware of this argument, and I'll tell you exactly why I think fandom needs to be more thoughtful about making that argument.
Amy wasn't out there killing serial murderers. She was targeting petty criminals. We see her go after a drug dealer, a potential drunk driver, and someone a cop tells Sam had been "busted half a dozen times"... but isn't in prison, ergo committed a series of misdemeanors—not felonies. We're talking petty theft, public intoxication, sale of illegal materials, etc.
So my question for fandom would be, do you really think it's fine to murder people who committed petty crimes? It's fine to treat those people as human sacrifices? Because for me it's a solid no.
Folsom Prison Blues shows us Sam and Dean potentially diverge at least a little in terms of how they view criminals. Solving a case in prison, Sam mentions they aren't exactly saving innocents. Dean responds,
You from Texas all of a sudden? Just because these people are in jail, doesn't mean they deserve to die. If we don't stop this thing, people are going to continue to die. We do this job wherever it takes us. - Dean in 2.19 Folsom Prison Blues
#mail#ig this is more about my specific wording#that said it doesn't change my opinion of what random or innocent means in this context#by which I mean unrelated/uninvolved/strangers#and like when we are talking about people who stole or some shit yeah on the scale of “acceptable human sacrifices to keep my bro alive”#they ARE innocent and random to me#they are unknown entities w/no relationship to Sam and Dean or the situation#if we return to Sam and the separate incidents w/Oskar and the nurse... neither of those people to our knowledge were even criminals#BUT the context was different because in both cases Sam argued 'fate of the world'#so then I get wondering if Sam would kill someone if he just thought they were bad enough that it was okay but NOT for 'fate of the world'.#and I just am not quite cynical enough about him to quite buy that I think unless there's something I'm forgetting#I can consider his textual lack of remorse in numerous incidents related to getting people killed but... the ones not 'save the world'#related weren't directly his fault they were collateral damage in his wake. Which is something Dean would feel guilty about but Sam...#i think Sam is just the kind of person who can usually justify something he feels is necessary.#But doing something JUST to save Dean with no other argument? I don't think he'd be able to argue to himself the necessity of that.
