my timephoon hot take is that the episode was literally fine, it's the episodes that came AFTER it that fucked things up
#the final confrontation where louie and della say that shit to eachother? peak televesion#the next episodes shouldve. yk. resolved that#but by having the premise be “the entire family is goign to disneyland and leaving louie behind” uh...?#i get what they were going for but they fumbled so hard#timephoon introduces a lot of conflicts that the next episodes SHOULD have resolved#but they didn't. at least not well#like della and louie should've had a proper conversation#and also i dont think della was wrong for steppin in at the end of timephoon like that was warranted#her wording and execution? far from perfect#but she's trying#also. timphoon was fine yes but it could have been way better still#i would have preffered it if they went more in depth about the struggles of motherhood and how beakley and della both felt about it#give me beakley being vulnerable and opening up about how hard its been raising webby alone and how she GETS it#she gets not knowing what to do#she was a spy#she has no idea how to be soft and motherly but she's learned and she's trying and she did it alone#and she doesn't want della to be as alone as she was so she tries to help#but she's a certified grizzled ex spy so fuck if she knows how to be gentle about it#so it just makes della MORE insecur because beakley seems to have it all together#and i wish there was a scene where they could talk to eachother and beakley could admit that she doesn't#she's made mistakes she's fucked up but she's trying and aren't they all?#but yeah. for what timephoon was#it wasn't bad#but the following episodes fumbled#i forget if it was in timephoon or next erpisode were we got della telling louie to shape up or he couldn't be part of the family#like again that was BAD! BUT#it wuld have worked if the show adressed and had her learn from it#and showed that it wasnt out of malice its because she was doing her best!#but they didn't#they were...weird with it

au where there's like a paperwork error and sasuke ends up on team eight. but no one else's placement changes. so kakashi has to deal with just naruto and sakura, who isn't filtering herself at all. or better yet, sasuke gets swapped with kiba, so kakashi has to deal with three loudmouth hotheads, one of whom can just track him down whenever he's late.
meanwhile kurenai's first lesson is homicide 101 and sasuke thinks he just hit the team jackpot
#naruto#team seven#team eight#uchiha sasuke#yuuhi kurenai#kurenai: ok kids now that we've all introduced each other i'm giving you a test to see if you're really ready to be genin#kurenai: the test is murder btw. afterwards we'll go over better and more creative ways to do murder#sasuke: this is the best possible thing that could have happened to me#meanwhile kakashi has a massive headache bc the only person on his team with any kind of volume control is akamaru#kakashi: ur the only one i can trust buddy#akamaru: bork#kakashi's ninken absolutely adore akamaru#sakura gets a headstart on medic-ing bc hana shows up to meet her lil bro's new team#also sasuke feels weird without someone challenging him to a fight every 20 minutes so he starts hoping one of his teammates will#shino gets sick of sasuke's incredibly awkward attempts at egging him on and persuades hinata to make sasuke her rival#yes they bond over their obsession with naruto what about it#hinata is. not good at being a rival#but she's trying#hinata: um sasuke-kun i bet. i bet. um i bet i can get to the top of this tree f-faster than you...#hinata: um but only by a little bit actually y-you'll be right behind me in fact you'll probably do it better but um.#sasuke: we can just start hitting each other if that's easier for you#hinata: oh cool just like my home life. yeah i can do that#shino: i'm a genius

Tangeled AU where Mother Gothel isn't a total piece of abusive crap because why not
In this AU, Gothel is a long time friend of the royal family who comes and goes as she pleases. No one knows how she looks so young desite being around for literal generations and frankly they gave up asking long ago.
When the queen became sick while pregnant, Gothel finally told them about the magic flower. Not without a lot of soul searching though. A LOT. She's not perfect.
The Queen gets better after eating the flower. The King and Queen set up a nice part of the castle for Gothel to live out the rest of her rapidly aging days in comfort.
When Rapunzel is born, Gothel realizes her hair holds the power of the flower and asks the King and Queen if she can cut a lock of hair to keep herself young and they agree. Obviously it doesn't work. Gothel isn't too upset about it though, all she has to do is visit the palace more often to stay young.
But people hear about the magic baby. And boy howdy, do they want that magic!
The King does his best to increase security in the palace but after the third kidnapping attempt Gothel steps in. She fears losing her youth once again, yes, but she's also grown kinda fond of the baby itself.
She tells them about an old tower she found in the woods long ago, completely empty and secluded. She suggests that she takes Rapunzel there for her own safety, at least until the King is sure its safe to return.
As time goes on though, the King and Queen still don't feel like its safe. So Gothel continues to raise Rapunzel.
Gothel herself has become paranoid at this point. All the crazy dangers she tells our orginal Rapunzel in the movie? Yeah, she's actually not trying to manipulate her in this au, she is genuinely worried.
For this reason she doesn't tell Rapunzel she's a princess or that the floating lanterns are her parents way of coping on her birthday.
This stage set, the events of the movie are effectively the same but the intent behind it is more interesting. Because when Gothel discovers Rapunzel missing from the tower, her first thought isn't "my magic escaped and I need to get back what's mine" its "my sort-of daughter has absolutely been kidnapped by a vagabond and now he needs to die".
She actually thinks Eugene is a bad guy here and is GUNNING for him.
Pretty much everything happens due to lack of communication and misunderstandings. Yeah that old trope.
Eugene absolutely nearly dies. Rapunzel heals him and they have their touching moment and Gothel thinks maybe, just MAYBE...she had jumped to conclusions about him.
The ending is basically Gothel showing up at the palace with Rapunzel who she decides, after hearing the adventure the young girl has been on, is capable of protecting herself. Happy Ending!

on tonight's episode of dnd, Ara did maybe kind of kill one of her party mates a little bit, but in her defense she just got swept up in the euphoria of being back in an arena and forgot she was fighting, essentially, a coworker, and she did try to make up for it by giving her an invisibility potion she bartered with an imp for that she was gonna keep for herself originally (because come on, what's scarier than an invisible fighter ambush attack) but figured would probably be better to give to the squishy little lightning cloud as a quick escape tool
#//juri speaks#juri's ttrpgs#dnd: chains of asmo#oc: ara#she's trying to remember everything her gf told her about trying to be a ''good'' person#and she's not very good at it#but she's trying

30 // amity
Breath slow. Eyes open. Hands steady, for once. It was nice not to feel how much of her strength she’d lost and still be able to aim straight.
When was the last time she did this? When was the last time she did this and felt something good?
She squared her posture, pulled her arm back tight, and stared down the first bottle she’d perched on a rock. She took her time. She felt through herself, the wind, the savory calm. And when she was ready, it wasn't a matter of letting go in the way she was used to. Instead, she gripped tight. She squeezed the trigger.
Her arms jerked, but she held herself steady. It wasn’t as loud as she remembered, though the shot rang through the desert and scared the nearby birds into flight or silence. And her target? Sif’s heart nearly burst into flames in her chest when all she could see of it were glittering shards of brown glass littering the dirt. But she pulled a deep breath. Then another. Measured. Composed. For a beat.
Her boot came down hard into the gravel and her arms went up in the air, barking a laugh at herself as she pulled the weapon—this hard-won trophy, a symbol that she wasn’t a failure but merely changed—close to her chest to feel the heat off of it. “Gods, damn it. Finally,” she sighed, an irrepressible smile on her lips.
If only she had more than a precious few bullets, she might have fired off another round or two, become more familiar with the weapon, built her confidence and learned her limits. But this? This small, long-sought victory was enough for now. Enough to assure her that she could still be good for something. That he alone wouldn't have to bear the responsibility of protecting them both.
Spinner would have Her way of turning her fortunes tomorrow, Sif wagered, but today? Today was hers.
She settled down in the shade of the ironwood under which they’d made camp and set the weapon aside in favor of a flask, lifting it to the heavens in thanks before bringing it to her lips. As a bitter taste flooded her tongue, she was given pause, then huffed to herself.
A battle-in-progress that she was fighting on a quieter front. Tea.
#ffxivwrite2023#[ the longest road ]#[ drabbles; sif ]#holy shit i did it#five years and i have finally been able to complete all 30 days#idk what the difference was this year but i'll take it#thank you moen for running this!!#and for those curious#sif is not going cold turkey#(she'd probably get too sick of she did)#but she is TRYING not to drink as much#some days are better than others#she's going to have relapses and make bad decisions along the way#but she's trying#besides if she went cold turkey i'd have to stop calling her 'sauced songstress'#that is a crisis of identity i do not want to confront yet#anyway thank you for following along if you have been#it means a lot ;u;

i'll let phie-san say it:
#the vids i've seen on tiktok picking at her immediately get a block...#bitter otaku sitting in their socks in their mom's basement feeling threatened/enraged by a hot successful black woman outnerding them-core#also this kind of criticism is so demoralising and damaging to people who are trying to learn another language#also. accents are NORMAL and not a bad thing#i don't think that the end goal of picking up a new language necessarily has to be sounding native#and i know sometimes the way japanese people react like SUGOIII? *W* when a foreigner says like one (1) word in japanese is joked about#but like... genuinely... i always love when someone clearly has made an effort and took the time to learn some of the language#anyway she can step on those haters <3#also like. it’s just some lines in a song people need to relax…#megan thee stallion#autoplay warning#japan#japanese#language#mamushi

bastille has done more for the queer community by just making all of their love songs about "you" instead of specifying a gender than taylor swift has in all of her discography. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
#shrooms is talking#anti taylor swift#i can't believe y'all got mad at this woman for being straight#of course she's fucking straight#gods bless#stop trying to turn her into a queer icon#she's never gonna be a queer icon

things haven't been great but i think they will be. eventually 🌻🌼🩷
#personal#comics#tw abuse#digital art#personal comic#for the record no i don't think my mother loves me#but the idea that she did kept me in an awful situation for a very long time#the number of times people said “she's your mother. she's trying her best. of course she loves you” etc etc#but i don't think “love” and abuse are mutually exclusive#like even if someone DOES love you it doesn't mean it's not abuse and it doesn't mean it's ok#art tag

went to donate blood (didn't work out but oh well) and there's this one girl i was chatting with and i'm pretty sure i blew her mind when i explained to her i was aroace (it was in context with the conversation). she asked some questions which i personally think is very nice and it was overall very good for someone who knows nothing
#she did do the thing tho#where she told me i was too pretty to be aroace#which. okay#but she's trying#and that's what matters

Need a the Waynes Lived AU where Martha’s a vampire. She snuck in a Wayne Gala for a potential late night snack, but Thomas thought she was a socialite.
“So, what do you do?”
“I drain people of their life sources.”
“Oh, you’re a CEO too?”
She can’t drink Thomas’ blood because he smokes too much, the baggy eyes indicate long nights spent on his feet during surgery, which means it’ll taste bitter, and she saw him drown 10 whiskey shots in one go.
It’s a taste thing, nothing against him.
He is, how ever, very handsome, and she decided she’ll be his house cat for the time being. Fast forward two years later and they have a vampire cherub of a baby named Bruce.
Babies usually don’t come out with fangs and tiny bat wings, so, yeah. His wife’s a vampire. Cool.
“How come I’ve never seen your wife outside during the daytime, Tom??”
“How come I’ve never seen you mind your own fucking business?”
#thomas to me is a really angry guy with can puff three packs of cigs a day and aggressively yells his affection and martha saw that#and thought ‘hot’#during their two years of marriage Alfred keeps trying to prove she’s a vampire Candace Flynn style and she never works#‘would you like me to draw the courtains MADAM’#‘no :) you know I have that skin condition right :)’ ‘aha :)) yes of course :))))))’#thomas wayne#martha wayne#bruce wayne#the waynes#dc comics#dc#text#batman#baby bruce wayne#text post
