All of these are notes about Meg's character to see if I can make the thing.
#surprisingly popular post#tl dr Meg is a bag full of air#she has real qualities but she doesn't have any flaws considering her character never asks for them#her only flaws are in the eyes of Herbert who is in love with Dan and hates her by proxy#and she hates him also by proxy#I mean he hates women in general “You're gay because you like men I'm gay because I hate women” etc#but like wow she's nosy#that's it#but this is fanfic I'm gonna round her character but idk if it's gonna be the most in character thing cause it's an AU#Megan Halsey daughter of a traditionalist who is extremely family oriented goes to get her own house and a degree instead#she literally took over everything when her mom died and her dad was like yes this makes sense she is a woman basically#so idk#what would be the breaking point for Meg to leave#maybe she went to a different college for a while and when her mother died she came back to Miskatonic to be near him#but that would give her more freedom make her see the world differently#hmm...#I'll get there#suggestions are welcome#reanimator#untitled meg halsey project#I thought about calling it the Ballad of Meg Halsey like I call a lot of my projects#and I'd base it on Been a Son by Nirvana and each line would be a chapter#she should have stayed away from friends would be the first#conjectures ideas#md talks again

so like. at what point are we going to stop listening to game companies saying "the game was poorly received and didn't meet our sales targets, and that's why we're removing it from storefronts and taking down all the servers mere months or even weeks after release" for titles that had a long expensive development, were barely marketed, and nobody knew they'd even released until after they heard they were getting shut down and couldn't be played/purchased anymore?
I feel like the prevailing takeaway for anyone who doesn't just conclude "yeah, game was pretty mid, makes sense to me" has usually been "this company just has unreasonably impossible sales expectations and treats every project like a failure if it doesn't print a trillion dollars". but these ARE allegedly experienced business execs who aren't complete idiots, and after this most recent debacle with Concord I'm starting to wonder if a bunch of these "games getting wiped out of existence when they underperform instead of just being allowed to persist as they are and maybe improve with time" cases in recent years might be more of a Warner-Discovery type situation, like nuking an entire animated series or film that was worked on for years and preventing it from being sold because it has to be officially unprofitable for the company to use it as a tax write-off. I look at a game that was worked on for 8 years and only made available for 2 weeks, and it's hard not to see the parallels.
great work, AAA games industry, really normal and sustainable stuff you're doing over there as usual
#buny text#concord#was talking with friends about this and there are at least a few other examples of this i think#where a game seems to be deliberately underbudgeted or undermarketed and then shoved out the door and shuttered within months#square enix has had like 3 or 4 of them in the past few years and i feel like redfall might've also been a case of this but it's hard to sa#for the record we had no idea why warner-discovery was doing this stuff with animation until some whistleblowers busted it open#so there's really no way to say for sure what's going on with the AAA games industry rn. just conjecture#but one thing's for sure#whatever they ARE doing is for money and public relations and not at all in the best interests of devs or consumers

recently i've been thinking about rowan omondi in terms of the "supportive black best friend" trope. i've had this idea for a while that it would be interesting to see a story that deals specifically with the psychological effects of being the designated "support friend", especially in cases where that character addressing/expressing their own emotions and advocating for themself would be stigmatised because of their race... and obviously, rowan fits into this neatly, actively repressing and refusing to talk about his feelings because he isn't usually given this sort of support by his friends, it's usually him who's supporting them. and i guess on a metatextual level, once he begins to address his own emotional repression and step down from that support role, you could view it as him becoming cognisant of his own role as the "supportive black best friend".
#iwbft#rowan omondi#this post is absolutely cracked because it's my personal theory/lens/interpretation/story idea that i have literally never shared before#and then applied (as if it's a well-established interpretation/lens) to someone who is. not the main character of his respective work#and listen. we all love rowan. i just think ive thought about him way more than most people#i'm thoroughly uncertain of whether i've explained myself properly here. idk how much the conjecture of rowan's arc post-iwbft#is common sense to other people. and stuff like that#BUT! i hope you enjoy this post nonetheless#i would also like to say this isn't a criticism of IWBFT. i dont think alice was at all ignorant of the role she was writing rowan into#by making him an overly-supportive friend who also happens to be black#(in fact i think the specific way rowan's emotional repression displays itself is a deliberate subversion of what would otherwise be#a very archetypical role for a black character)#yea. im just positing a lens im not levying criticism at IWBFT or alice#osemanverse#thunder rambles#(these thoughts actually first came about when corinna brown was first talking abt tara's arc in s3. and then i thought about it again#when i watched timestalker and jacob anderson's character basically just gives up being the support character at the end LMFAO)

Yeah honestly it’s really hard to guess what Sam means with “If we ever get future seasons we have plans to honor that moment in a different way” bc on one hand Scanlan’s goodbye speech still had his lingering self doubt/inadequacies like him specifying stuff like “We really REALLY shouldn’t have succeeded” and “For the first time in my life I matter” and he’s still the only character the show has done no childhood/family backstory for but on the other hand how would that stuff even play in with him now having left on this journey of self improvement? Maybe Pike confronts him about the “Now I have a real family” line which leads to conflict?
Either way here’s the article, and it really frames it like the sole reason for changing his big moment was the uncertainty of season 4, hence them still giving it buildup despite the lack of payoff which is… frustrating. https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/amazon-prime-video/the-legend-of-vox-machina-season-3-finale-interview-spoilers-ending-explained
Thank you for linking the article!! This part explains a lot about the decisions they made.
And as you said, the self doubt and uncertainty surely were in the speech, but idk if these few sentences could really be ground for a massive fight? It would make sense that Pike felt hurt by his "real family" comment, but still it seems to me that making him leave again would be redundant, and I'm fairly sure they want to avoid that (they even said in the article that the reason Percy was dead for a longer time this season was because they didn't want to just repeat what happened with Vex in season 2)
Also the fact that Sam said that they will "honor the moment in a different way" makes me think it could be a COMPLETELY different scenario.
Like maybe the lament is not even directed towards Vox Machina, maybe it's some other person from Scanlan's past that he realizes knows nothing about him?
I really don't know. But I do have the feeling (and hope) that season 4 will be a bit more Scanlan centric
#sorry long post#i have a million thoughts about this even if I truly have no idea how theyre gonna actually pull it off#i do love making conjectures though#critical role#tlovm#tlovm spoilers#scanlan shorthalt#bard's lament

"And where it hath pleased [God] to take out this transitory life the most victorious Christian prince of famous memory King Edward the iiijth our king, loving lord, and father, whose soul God of his infinite mercy pardon. The lamentable and most sorrowful tidings thereof was shown unto [us] the xiiijth day of this present month. [...] We intend...to be at our city of London in all convenient haste to be crowned at Westminster."
-Letter by EDWARD V from Ludlow to the burgesses of King's Lynn upon the news of his father Edward IV's death (16th April 1483)
#a follow-up on my post of Edward IV's cocidicils since I had mentioned this letter + Edward V's wish for an immediate coronation in the tag#I'm not sure if the letter was written/drafted by him or his uncle Anthony or someone else but either way it's interesting!#15th century#Edward V#princes in the tower#edward iv#(sort of)#my post#also something I didn't point out in my previous post re the codicils was that#it's also entirely possible that Edward IV didn't specify anything in his last will for the government he wanted during his son's reign#He may have left it to his son/queen/brother/councilors to decide#which may explain why there were two different ideas#of course this is merely my own speculation and conjecture - and ultimately like I said it didn't actually matter#what does matter is that there was a great deal of Ricardian propaganda against Elizabeth Woodville and her family during that time#and that should be emphasized far more than it has been till date

I feel the problem with texts like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Sunset Boulevard, and The Memory Police is that my analysis feels too off-the-wall compared to what they want us to regurgitate ._.
#Like... did nobody catch on the abusive household environment Christopher was in during CIDNT? HIS DAD LITERALLY PUNCHED HIM#Though perhaps I was uniquely advantaged in analysing that text because everyone else was thrown off by the autistic protagonist#meanwhile me... who is all too damn aware.......#it didn't distract me from the real meat of the novel at all.

not to be rude or anything but i wanted to ask, why do you like james so much? i love sirius almost unhealthily, but james always gave me the ick. idk tho maybe i'm over analysing it, but he always gave me slightly creepo vibes because of the whole asking lily out constantly thing yk?
:o
no one’s ever asked me something like that hahaha
idk, man. i guess it’s like sirius—the traits that james has (and what i envision him to be like) kinda just speak to me, yeah? i mean, obv we don’t have a lot of stuff about him, but i fill in a lot of blanks on my own and the rough picture i came up with, i adore. he’s also a character that i can relate to & project on, which is always fun.
it’s also like—if i go to my earliest works, it’s all about james and his friendship with sirius so that dynamic if is what really, truly drew me in. like the j/s relationship (platonic or romantic) has me in a literal chokehold and i think everyone here knows that lol in addition to that, i adore james as a dad and a son & i think he just lends himself to some really good interpersonal interpretations ykno? the centrality i believe he held in the marauders, is another thing.
also like the barebones traits he has—loyalty, protectiveness, moral fortitude, generosity, helpful—i just find him to be a really decent guy lol.
the lily thing—i mean, fair ig. he was kind of an ass in SWM but i personally just don’t believe he was asking her out constantly, ykno? like. it doesn’t fit what i think of him; it doesn’t exactly feel like something a 11-15yo would do; and i’m so sure that this perception of him came from all those jily fics (and even r/s let’s be real) where he’s portrayed as a near stalker bc lily has to be deified and morally superior. i mean, i personally believe most of the fics with james in it have done him a great disservice and entirely ruined his character for the sake of fandom or wtv (but again, it’s a character we never saw alive in real time lol so what leg do i have to stand on anyway)
so that in mind, i’ve personally always hated the lily connotations of his personality and tend to stay away from that.
in general, i’d say, i love the possibility/potential that james has? a bit like sirius, he feels like a larger-than-life character, a little fantastical. and it’s just downright fun plying around with him ykno? there’s also this, element of subversion with him for me. one, how close he is with sirius. (how close i write him to be). him being such a caretaker contrasting w his cool dude jock vibes. being the protective mother hen in jily. being emotional and sensitive and crying and not being ashamed about it. he just. seems like a much deeper character than what we get on the surface *shrugs*
#james potter#i know a lot of this is conjecture/HC territory#but i do think james had a solid canonical base that’s often overlooked#bc portraying him as a goofy fool is more important#but i’ve never subscribed to that idea#i think the biggest reason i love him is rly just bc of his relationship w others?#like we barely got stuff about lily ykno#(which is almost def bc of jkr’s biases too tbf)#but so. many. people. talked about james post his death#from friends to even enemies. like dude. even voldy gave him a compliment 😭😭 what more do u want#remus. mcgonagall. rosmerta. dumbledore. sirius.#all of these people had something good to say about him#and the kind of—loyalty that he evokes in people? it’s so fascinating holy shit#and i just. i wanna everything ab what makes him tick ykno? why is he the way he is?#then. i love him in his capacity as a family man—a son and a father and a grandfather#he lends himself so well to those roles#just. idk haha sirius is my. favorite person#but james is like my baby. my child. i’m so protective over him#and i kinda wanna keep him tucked away and with me from everyone else#like i only rly talk about sirius here but it’s james i feel the urge to gate keep most often lol#hope that made sense?#bc i can understand getting the ick from james—he has not been treated kindly in canon or fanon#and lowkey i put that down to the prevalence of snape fans but let’s not go there lol#but he’s just. so much more than that ykno? he has *heart* in a way most don’t#hehehe i’ll stop waxing poetic now#thank u for this ask!! 💜#pen’s asks

the "blue used to be a girl color and pink used to be a boy color until after ww2" factoid is so bizarre. it's based on one singular newspaper article... and besides that you can find more on pink being a girl color and blue being a boy color pre-ww2. who comes up with this stuff
#ok that last sentence is rhetorical i read the article this idea seems to originate from.#<-not the original singular newspaper article but a modern one that sources the article and then conjectures#misc history

hoooo. okay. i feel better knowing she's crossed the threshold there w the delegates
#i feel like.#while in a perfect world a primary redux of some kind would've been nice. there just is not time#and the idea of introducing a potentially divisive contest at this particular juncture makes me want to dissolve in fear & dread#so to see this much of a unified front is a relief#and again like. i do feel like people will be more enthusiastic about harris than biden - & broadly we're seeing that already#which is heartening in itself#it feels good to have things a little more settled. all the what ifs and conjectures were driving me bonkers in the yonkers#ALSO. relatedly. i don't get the people insinuating her nomination would be some kind of coronation#dems already had voted for biden with harris on the ticket knowing full well if biden kicked it or quit midterm she'd be president#and to be blunt bidens age being what it is that scenario was never looked at as Completely Unrealistic or Impossibly Unlikely#so in that sense anybody who voted for biden has already voted for her#kind of stupid to pitch a fit like that's not the case

we need to abolish the idea that ancient greek myths and legend have a coherent timeline. they do not. for any given myth there are like 10 heroes mentioned that feasibly could not have been adults or even alive. herakles keeps showing up in places where he should probably be dead. anyone could be a suitor of helen. even herakles. even theseus if you count that kidnapping stint he did. nestor is alive for 10 billion years. time is fake and anything beyond vague generational outlines is conjecture
#the thing about classical studies is sometimes you gotta just accept that sometimes We Dont Fucking Know#a majority of our sources are GONE. we don’t have the full picture and its impossible to make definite statements off fragmentary evidence#is achilles older than patroclus? is he younger? NO IDEA. myth is a fluid tradition. who give a shit#all that matters is: is this guy the same general age range? is he young enough that hes got less respect? is he old enough to earn respect?#and if anyone cites wikipedia at me for this post im killing them with lasers#tagamemnon

Pacifist doesn't mean that they can't restrain people, they just aren't going to be killing them.
I think it's also very likely that the new mandalorians greatly outnumbered everyone else. These were the farmers, the laborers (whether free or enslaved), the every day people who'd seen their home torn apart. Meanwhile the warriors kept killing each other off, whittled down to almost nothing until Satine could retake her position, and the ones that were left were probably mostly tired of it and glad to put down their weapons when the time came.
The ones that refused were few in number, and I'd reckon that Death Watch is mostly made up of a handful of the old guard and then many more radicalized youth that weren't actually around for the wars and have an idealized view of it. When they were first exiled they were probably not nearly as numerous as they were by the time of the Clone Wars.
someone needs to explain to me how satine and the new mandalorians "won" the great clan wars. how did they enforce the exile/banishment of the insurgents to concordia. who was doing the fighting for the new mandalorians and defending against the insurgents. how did they enforce the exile.
george lucas didn’t do enough deep thinking on the naboo government, and dave filoni did seemingly no thinking before throwing in mandalore's backstory exclusively through obi-wan’s dialogue as a function of his own romantic backstory with satine.
#this is obviously mostly conjecture and headcanon#the doylist answer is of course that they didn't put much thought into it#because lucas said he wanted pacifist mandos but everyone else in the room wanted their badass warrior culture#so the pacifist mandos were done reluctantly and half-heartedly#seriously watch the behind the scenes for those episodes it is so clear that filoni didn't like the pacifist mando idea at ALL#so yeah canon leaves us with a big ?#but i do think that thematically it makes sense that the warriors kinda did themselves in - the destruction of war eating itself#it's what happened with the Sith

Since it came up recently, link to that therapist on twitter 👆 who was discussing Bucky's terribile therapist in TFATWS and how they should’ve been.
Transcript:
"As a therapist myself I've had a lot of feelings about Bucky's therapist on TFatWS, and have decided I need to rant a little to let it all out. I've worked w/active duty, trauma survivors, and court ordered clients, so here's some therapeutic conjecture on Bucky's therapy:
Aesthetically her office and presentation don't fit for someone who has been through the trauma that he’s been through. A client like this would need something non-threatening and safe- the whole vibe is overly formal and official in an office building, not at all therapeutic.
6 months working together she calls him Mr. Barnes and then James-he has identity issues and is struggling with who he is, so I think that one of the 1st things they would have done is figure out what he is comfortable being called, by whom and what that means for him.
He is still full out lying to her about pretty much everything including PTSD sx—I’m not saying clients never lie if they have good therapists, but if after 6 months he still doesn’t feel like he can be truthful at all then they haven’t built any trust/ solid therapeutic rapport
The pen and notebook thing-that’s clearly a trigger for him, there’s no reason to antagonize him and take notes in session like a punishment, it’s a power play on her part and it only emphasizes his lack of control in being forced into therapy (she should know his hx w/notebooks)
The whole little arm motion she made when she said “they need to make sure you don’t…” – that made so much light of what has happened to him, he probably feels like his arm is only good as a weapon and things like that will not help him accept it as part of his body
The rules, UGH the rules—from how they were talking about them clearly not something he actively created for himself, more like directives that he’s been ordered to adhere to—something fed to him and reinforced, feels like a way to sign off on liability only
THE AMENDS—this is probably my biggest issue. Amends are for people who need to take accountability for their actions and the repercussions of those choices. He had NO choice. He was a victim of horrific crimes against him, and framing it in a way that he needs to make up for
the crimes that others used him for is abhorrent. The lack of trauma informed care as astounding in the way it is being framed that he has to atone for sins that weren’t his. Its clearly reinforcing the idea in his head in ep 2 when he says “HYDRA were my people".
NO, HYDRA were your captors. They were not your people. That type of thinking needs to get deconstructed and challenged. He can dedicate himself to bringing good into the world and righting wrongs that happened WITHOUT taking on the responsibility of those actions.
Her whole attitude and demeanor were condescending and demeaning. I know some people have said “I love how she calls him out on his bullshit!” That’s not what I see happening. I call my clients out on their shit all the time—this was not that.
And I can only do that with clients ONCE we’ve built the type of relationship where it’s going to be therapeutic for them to hear it, and it’s done intentionally and with purpose. She just came off shaming and mean because they don’t seem to have any form of therapeutic rapport.
She said “you have no history, no family”- there is no therapeutic reason for that, and she’s wrong. He most likely has family alive (he used current tense when talking about his sister) and he was close to Shuri and TChalla, his history is vital to understanding him
When she said “Look, I know that you have been through a lot, but you’ve got your mind back. You are being pardoned. These are good things. You’re free.”—Yeah this feels really dismissive and like toxic positivity. “I know you’ve been through a lot BUT BE HAPPY!!??”
He certainly doesn’t seem to feel like he’s free (especially having therapy mandated), and you can’t just tell someone they’re free. I felt like she was pretty much just like, “shake it off, look to the future!” which feels really shitty when you’ve experienced excessive trauma.
HELLO breach of confidentiality, just introducing herself to Sam as his therapist and confirming it to Walker and the whole police station, it doesn’t matter if they know he’s in therapy you do not break someone’s privacy like that, he still deserves some control over his tx.
Ordering Sam into a session, NO, he’s not your client and you don’t know him well enough to know if that’s appropriate or if it would be harmful to either, and you haven’t asked your client for his consent to have another person in his session
Forcing a trauma victim who was stripped of his bodily autonomy for 70 years into a physically intimate exercise with a coworker that he’s barely interacted with in the last several months? NOPE, just reinforcing to Bucky she has control over him the way his handlers used to
To me, I think she is more focused on signing off on his psychological eval that he isn't a liability rather than any actual healing or attention to his trauma. This unfortunately isn’t unusual in the military where “mental health treatment” is focused on being mission ready.
They are making sure he’s ready to be an “asset” w/ mandated therapy, which he shouldn’t even be forced to do as part of his pardon because he shouldn’t have needed a pardon at all because he was a victim of horrific war crimes, brainwashing, and dehumanization for 70 years.
I’m just saying, if that was me he would be on my big squishy couch, bright open windows, bowl of Hershey kisses, random fidget toys, and two therapy dogs laying all over him while we work through that trauma and he builds back his identity and finds the calm he wants so badly.
And yes he would probably need someone who would see through his BS, call him out when he needs it, not be overly "touchy feely", but only if he feels safe and there is trust, where he gets to work on what HE wants, not what others think he needs.
Anyway thanks for coming to my TEDTalk, I❤️my work and I think being a therapist on retainer for the Avengers would've been a fucking trip, they all needed a team of mental health professionals at their disposal 24/7 and things would've been so much better🤣
ps. They can be a good therapist and just not be a fit for the client, that happens regularly. We know when to make it part of the conversation and when to refer out. Nothing good is going to come out of a contemptuous therapeutic relationship, mandated or not.
pps. That whole situation and the scene with Zemo was so rough. I can't imagine how much it brought back the violation, humiliation, anger, and helplessness of when he was the WS. I'm just imagining him having a therapist he trusts and being able to process that afterwards 😭😭😭"
