PSA to all the screenwriters out there: please consult the actors of beloved long-running characters about where they think their character should go. Clearly they know better than the writers.

if I had a nickel for everytime a series I really liked had a great season 1 and 2, and an okay season 3 that had its ups and downs but was overall decent and had a very compelling ending, only to have a final and preplanned season 4 that absolutely butchers the characterizations and dynamics set up in the previous seasons, introduces new romance plotlines and love triangles out of the blue at the very last minute that ultimately added nothing to the plot, waters down the big bad they have been setting up all series, ignores its own past writing and ultimately creates more plotholes than resolutions - then I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[graendoll]

If you're a writer and you really believe the best ending for your characters is to kill them all then at this point I can't help but think you just couldn't come up with anything else.

Its THE go to ending for complex stories in media right now and it's the laziest fucking thing a writer could do

Full offense intended btw.

the umbrella academy s4 spoilers

i saw a passing glimpse of 1 or 2 negative reactions on here about the 4th season of the umbrella academy, but i didnt think it'd be this bad 😭😭😭😭😭the HELL do you mean they ALL freaking died??????? and what the hell was up with that love triangle?? that was foul. but honestly i wouldve forgiven it all if they had freaking survived, wth do you mean the show's over now, like you didnt even TRY. WHAT IS THAT STUPID GOD AWFUL ENDING. and correct me if im wrong but the original books are still fairly open-ended??? so it seems like the show writers or whatever wanted to get it all off their hands and wrap it up. or what i dont get it. because "i always wanted to end the series this way" is NOT A FREAKING GOOD EXCUSE BC IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD ENDING. i'm so mad and sad. they didnt deserve to go out this way

also this is so accurate. along with another comment saying "it felt like someone didn't start their essay until the night before it's due and rushed to finish, just barely beating the length requirement"

Halfway through S4 of the umbrella academy...

Ohmygod. Is this real? Who are the writers this season? I just wanna talk

Malia is trying to be nice, but she’s not good at it. She doesn’t really remember how to be. The Remake got rid of the puncture wounds in her thigh where the bear trap got her, smoothed out her hair until it was no longer matted to her head, scrubbed her skin raw and clean, but it couldn’t fix the way she didn’t feel right in her body anymore. She became something else, in there, something wild and terrified. Somewhere in that arena, Malia forgot how to be human. Now she’s just an animal in a girl’s skin. Empathy is a lot to ask for from something like her.

(Malia is the youngest victor in Hunger Games history. Now she has to live with it.)

Pretend it says 2023 instead of 2021

If you start The Umbrella Academy Episode 9 of Season 2 at 5:51:00 on December 31st at 11:59 pm you'll have Five yell "I'm the daddy here!" exactly at midnight. Start off your year with Five reminding you that he indeed is the daddy and will be for 2021

Yandere!Five/Reader.

wow how long has it been? two years since I wrote something for TUA? I still haven't rewatched it since I'm finally catching up with breaking bad but I hope I'll rewatch TUA next week or so. for some strange reason I feel that weird feeling like I need to come back to my fav fictional family with bread and milk and concentrate on it ughhh. when I rewatch it I will check that requests I had before for TUA and will finish them!

tw: yandere Five, unhealthy obsession, mentions of the reader's death, Five has ZERO moments of peace here, angst, controlling Five, mentions of Five's childhood, sort of happy ending?

I'm probably describing my thoughts sooo bad don't be mad please

Like we know, Reginald wasn't afraid to use his own «children» for every heroic mission. Bank robbery? He'll make a 14 year old kids deal with it. Some villains are trying to cause problems? Well, another time to test Number 1's leadership skills, no time for a happy childhood, kiddos! And that is basically what their life is.

Basically, the only source from which they can get the feeling of being needed, loved by the public, and recognized, if not by their father but by the citizens. Reginald trained them well, as long as there are 6 of them, they can deal with any kind of problem. I mean, come on, they're THE Hargreeves, one of the strongest people in the world who have unique superpowers, it's not like something might go wrong one day.

Five was always the most compatible member of the team, always trying to be the best. Despite only being the fifth in the ranking, it doesn't stop him from showing off every time he taunts another criminal, making them lose their minds in attempts to catch him.

It was another day when he and his siblings would find a criminal to deal with. Everything went smoothly, as Luther would discuss the plan with everyone. Klaus and Ben would be outside waiting for the signal, Allison and Luther would be the ones to distract the criminals from the hostages and Diego should disarm them before causing any serious trouble. Five would be the one who would save the hostages.

I think his abilities help the most in such situations. He can teleport any person away in just seconds and lead them into safety, no one would even notice. And if something happens, Five is capable enough to fight by himself.

You are the last hostage he protects now. He had already saved more than 10 people non-stop before, and for some reason, his powers refused to work. It's not like he is weak or something, no, no, just give him some time to catch his breath, and he will continue in a moment! He can't let someone see him like this, let alone let his father find out about this little problem.

He would huff and puff about it, probably imagining how Diego or Klaus were teasing him, how Five was losing his cool and accidentally forgetting how his own powers were working due to what a pretty little hostage Five talked to! And they're close to his age too, so it would be natural for his age to get shy and awkward in front of someone cute he found~! Well, at least it's exactly what he imagines hearing from Klaus after the mission.

Five wasn't quiet around people, usually. He enjoys talking with his siblings, well, with some of them—and he finds it amusing to toy with criminals.

For some reason, he is quiet around you.

Of course, he would try to reassure you that everything is fine, he is a good guy here, and soon enough, you would be safe. The only thing you have to do is just listen to him and follow his lead.

He didn't suspect everything, of course, and was so full of himself even at such an age, thinking nothing would go wrong. You were around his age, and naturally, despite being an arrogant little brat, he did find you quite cute. Maybe, if he had a different life, he would have approached you in different circumstances.

But Five learned the hard way that he's not the strongest and could never be the number one. He would never be able to save everyone. He just stopped paying attention for a one damn second, and the next thing he heard, was a gunshot. Five could feel your hand slipping away from his own, and he would look back just in time to see you almost stumbling, only to catch you in his own arms. Blood painted his dark blue uniform in red.

After that incident, Five became more obsessed with the idea of time travelling. If at first he wanted to prove to his father that he is capable of much more, to show that he's actually much better than everyone, this idea also feeds off his guilt. His first mistake, the only time he failed to do his task. And he just can't let go of it, no matter how much Viktor tries to tell him that it's really not his fault, that he couldn't predict it.

And then, during dinner, he runs away, despite Viktor silently begging him not to do it. Then he blinks again, again, and again, until it's nothing but ruins surrounding him. Until The Handler decides to pay him a visit, expect that he will probably be much more calculative and controlling. 40 years of being alone did it's horrible job on his mind, every day trying to survive while thinking about a possible way out of this situation. Maybe, if he makes much better calculations, he will actually succeed. But being away from humanity for so long makes him crave human contact, he already had that mannequin, Dolores, he could find, talking every day to her about how he actually missed his family, how he wants at least some kind of sick normalcy he had back in the academy. At least he had a place to live without worrying every day about his own survival.

During these moments, where he actually gives himself some time to be weak, he wonders would he still do this if you were still alive? Would he still risk everything just to make his father proud?

He didn't know much about you before. The police shortly said that day that one of the employees had a child in the building, and they were taken hostages by the villains. You were around his age, a young, probably promising student in your normal school, with caring parents and friends who worried about you. Something he craved deeply, even though he would have never admitted it.

When he couldn't have teleported you away safely, he led you through the second way out. He can tell you were scared. Of course, who wouldn't be? It's not like you were used to it. He isn't the gentlest person, more like focused on the business and how to end it all as fast as possible. But you were shaking mess, asking from time to time if it's safe or is actually everything okay? Five, in his some kind of nonchalant and gruff manner, would only nod, reassuring you that his siblings probably dealt with the villains by that time.

You looked so normal for him. You had no powers, no one made you train every day just to bend you into their high expectations, you didn't have to compete for someone's love and approval. You acted like he's just a normal person too, never bothering him with questions about his brothers or a sister, not trying to peek into some secret life of the Hargreeves family. Do you even know who he is?

Eventually, he can't remember who exactly started the dialogue. Was it you, who just wanted to talk about something so boring like your school life, or like that you probably skipped a few classes and missed a math test? Or was it him, remembering his trainings how he should try to make the worried and scared hostage less afraid by making a small talk with them? He's too old to remember every single detail. But he certainly remembered that he at least listened to what you said to him. That he was actually looking at you, giving you his full attention.

Maybe if he was born into a normal family, he would have had a chance to live that normal life with you. But that would be too kind to wish for, wasn't it? Now, that his hands are covered in blood of so many innocent people he had to kill, asking for a normal life is impossible. Even after taking hundreds of lives, he still can't understand why is the sight of yours in his hands any different? He thought he would be used to it by now. What kind of evil God makes him see it over and over again, in every goddamn timeline?

First, it was a villain killing you right in front of him. Second, it was the Swedes who killed you the next day they saw Five trying to talk to you. He almost lost his mind when he spotted you living near the same hotel where his siblings and he decided to stay. But once again, the more problems just followed, leading to another damn disaster to take you away.

When he lost his powers, he didn't know if he should feel relieved or more concerned about it. Of course, that means that he probably has to find Reginald, to get more answers about what the hell happened in this new universe. But that also meant that he finally has a chance to live like a normal person too. Like you did.

He was unfamiliar with this world. He felt lost, humiliated most of the time now that everyone treat him like he's actually younger than he is. At least people stopped treating him like a child, yet he still has to deal with someone underestimating him. He has to find a job, a place to live, for God's sake, how the hell is he going to live without any documents here?

The fate seemed to be connecting you two once again, as it seemed. You would meet him accidentally, one time you just saw him visiting a café you were working for and the same process would repeat again. This time, he would actually remember every single little detail. He would approach you first, carefully and as politely as he could. He still thinks that if he makes even the smallest mistake, he would experience your loss once again. This time he won't screw up, he would plan everything strictly to his scenario. Your meeting, your first date, your first 'I love you'. You might think he's just the most perfect guy you ever met, which actually... would not be so far from the truth? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)��_⁠/⁠¯

Yo, an idea. Tua stardew valley au, Sebastian is Ben and Klaus is Sam. Allison is giving me a penny vibe. The rest is up to you, lord.

i'm actually so glad i didn't answer this ask all those years ago because now i actually HAVE played stardew and i'm a little too obsessed with this idea,,,

BIG YES on ben and klaus as sebastian and sam omg!! and allison is sooo penny

i think for the rest of the characters these are my initial thoughts:

luther - gunther

diego - kent

allison - penny

klaus - sam

five - mr. qi

ben - sebastian

viktor - maru

lila - jodi (or abigail) (or sandy)

these are all mostly based on vibes but i have some small thoughts

i want luther to be gunther because i think he deserves to be in a little nice museum with all his favorite things,,

diego is kent because he's forced to settle down after a life of ✨war✨. except diego is more unhinged about it and their motivations are completely different but i like the idea of diego showing up in the town one year after everyone

allison is penny bc they just act a lot like each other

klaus is sam because they both have "chronic :D" on their faces

FIVE IS MR. Q BECAUSE IT'S SILLY and i think he's a little fucked up. alternatively, commission!five is mr. q and five himself is like,, george or something

i'm not explaining ben as sebastian, it just fits too well

I STRUGGLED WITH VIKTOR. i didn't know if he should be gus (bc he owns a bar in s4), or maybe haley (so that he and allison can be haley and emily!) but in the end i like him as maru,, bc viktor and ben are close in-canon, so it would be interesting to have them live under the same roof here, especially since the carpenter's family has ✨issues✨ in the game too

lila i also struggled with. aesthetically she is SOOO sandy to me. then abigail fits her personality. but jodi is married to kent. so i think she's kind of a mix of all three characters SJDHSJ

ANYWAY let me know your thoughts and feel free to add/change stuff, i'm gonna be thinking about this for a while

Lila is on the run from a bad situation when her car breaks down in the arse end of nowhere, because of course it does, that is how her life is going - and she's not about to trust this random hairy weirdo who's probably a serial killer, either. But she has to get help somehow, because bundled up under her coat is a tiny, precious secret...

The Wild Robot

Haii hari Sabtu adalah waktunya aku menulis tumblr post. Ini lagi di department, awalnya sih mau kerja, tapi yaudah secukupnya aja lah ya crossing off to-do lists yang kubikin Jumat kemarin. Seharian ini udah banyak banget deh yang dikerjain: bangun-bangun udah ngucek sprei, sarung bedcover, alas bed yang di bawah sprei, bedcovernya juga, sama ada mattress topper ya namanya (tentu saja juga underwear dan celana tidur) gara-gara tembus heboh, buset. Jadi dari bangun pun udah cranky dan langsung bekerja keras. Terus ngevakum rumah karena udah lama banget gak divakum dan debu-debu sampe kelihatan. Cabut jam 11.18-an buat ke bioskop, jalan 25 menit-an, jadwal filemnya padahal 11.30, plan awalnya tu mau jalan dari rumah jam 11 tapi ya namanya juga Noni kan, pake ada acara masukin laundry dulu dsb. Untungnya sampe studio belum mulai filmnya. Tapi udah gelap, jadinya susah banget nemu tempat duduk. Berujung sepanjang film ku duduk di 1 seat belakang tempatku yang seharusnya. Untungnya dari nonton jam 11.30 tu tapi studionya sepi sih, jadi aman-aman aja sebetulnya mau duduk di mana-pun. Kayanya tadi total penontonnya ga sampai 15 orang di satu studio itu.

Nonton The Wild Robot huhu bagus banget. Dan di Odeon tuh cuma £5 kursi standard jadi yaudah lumayan banget kan. Sebetulnya semalam dikasih link ilegalnya sama Hanif tapi aku tuh kalau nonton film perlu banget dengan sound system yang proper. Jadi £5 tu worth it banget kalo kata aku mah. Se-Oxford raya ada 3 bioskop. Dulu paling rajin nonton di Curzon di Westgate sampai punya annual membership (karena se-suka itu aku nonton di bioskop dengan proper sound system). Si Curzon ini bioskop yang paling proper di Oxford, se-levelnya CGV-lah, tapi MUAHAL banget. Sekali nonton £15. Waktu itu pas member kayanya bayar £50/tahun dapet 4 film gratis dan sisanya diskon 20% apa ya. Terus baru Odeon. Dulu ada 2 Odeon di Oxford, tapi yang satu yang Magdalene St tutup, karena emang udah gedung tua banget juga sih, dan kayanya nggak se-laku itu buka bioskop di Oxford. Ramenya kan pas lagi term time aja. Sempat nonton Suzume di Odeon Magdalene St itu. Terus kayanya sisanya selalu yang di George St. Sempet nonton Godzilla Minus One sama Mas Rangga, terus Wonka juga sama Diny dan Deva. Tadi kayanya baru pertama kali dapet yang Screen 1 deh. Pernah nonton supermurah juga dulu apa ya filemnya, sama Sarah Iris. Lupa euy. Odeon Oxford ini murah banget tapi juga kualitasnya B banget, cenderung jelek bahkan. Betul-betul bioskop tua aja gitu. Jadi kalo gak pinter milih tempat duduk bakalan jauh banget dari Screen dan kaya lagi lihat slide kuliah. OH, kayak Depok XXI! Yang di Ramayana itu. Kalau gak salah ada screen di situ yang modelnya mirip banget kaya bioskop Odeon. Jadi dulu kayanya aku nonton Frozen 2 apa ya sendirian Jumat-jumat gitu pas lagi break Jumatan. Nah karena gak tahu layout studionya, kupilih aja yang A paling atas kan. Eh ternyata JAUH BANGET itu teh dari layar, buset. Anyway, iya gitu, jadi kalau ke Odeon pun harus pintar-pintar pilih seats. Bioskop satu lagi bioskop indie gitu dekat rumah, namanya The Phoenix, lumayan tua juga itu bioskop. Waktu itu sempat nonton The Boy and The Heron di situ. Yang diputer situ biasanya film-film festival gitu sih, bukan yang di Box Office.

Lah jadi cerita panjang bioskop, naon Non. Awalnya mau cerita betapa bagusnya ni filem, The Wild Robot. Tapi kalau diceritain banyak kepanjangan. Intinya kalau kalian fansnya DreamWorks, nonton Puss in Boots: The Last Wish kemarin yang juga bagus banget dan sangat menghibur, nah inituh kualitas animasinya di level itu, tapi writingnya, dan character buildingnya dan SOUND FXnyaaa. Semua berkombinasi menjadi satu dan jadi filem yang sangat CAKEUP. Ku nangis 7x deh kayanya. Mulai nangis pas Brightbill training habis-habisan buat bisa terbang dan ada background music yang super touching (sebetulnya agak uplifting sih), ku langsung yang: YAAMPUN ITU ADALAH AKU DI PHD INI (nangis). Hahaha bukan bermaksud membuat everything is about me tapi betulan yang relatable aja gituu. Kaya.. what are the odds buat dia succeed, but he’s still trying anyway.

Terus nangis lagi lainnya lebih ke karena hubungan ibu-anak aja sih, kan hubungan ibu-anak-ku agak traumatic yah (ku rasa kebanyakan dari kalian juga). I love my mom, I do, with all of my heart. Dan kalau bukan karena kritikannya, supportnya, semua pilihan yang dia ambil: ke mana aku sekolah SD, SMP, SMA, kuliah, les sempoa, ga bakal aku di sini sekarang. Cuma ya exactly criticism itu pulak yang membuatku jadi gampang burnout, jadi unnecessarily perfeksionis yang bikin ku juga punya acute procrastination, ga bisa kind ke diriku sendiri, being SO HARD on myself, selalu ngerasa gak good enough karena ga pernah di-validate feelingnya.

Nangis ke-3 kayanya karena climate change yang membuat SEMUA MAKHLUK HIDUP suffer!!! Si hewan-hewan (dan tumbuhan) ini gak tau apa-apa, mereka literally just existing aja, tapi harus menanggung beban berat kena storm, long super cold winter, dan harus bisa survive. Sedih banget lihatnya.

Terus apa lagi ya… kayanya karena ku juga hard empath aja jadinya ngerasa sedih sama Fink, Ros, dan Brightbill yang dimusuhi semua orang dan gapunya teman padahal bukan salah mereka, Cuma karena mereka beda aja.

Udah sih sisanya sedih balik lagi ke interrelationship character itu lagi. Yang ku bisa relate banget juga tuh sebagai dosen/guru kadang kita yang bantuin students kita sampe udah jago, terus tapi supaya mereka bisa terus berkembang ya gabisa kita keep terus, at one point harus dilepas merekanya, padahal kita udah sayang (ini berlaku buat ibu ke anak juga).

Yaudah intinya ni filem bagus banget lah. Gatau sih bakal beda apa nggak reaksi emosional diriku ini kalau nggak lagi mens, mungkin jumlah nangisnya bakal berkurang.

Terus mau cerita apa lagi ya… Minggu ini lumayan seru dan produktif walaupun hari Jumat kemarin KAYAK HELL. CAPEK BANGET semua ada di twitter aku. Bentar, kita coba recount dari Minggu dulu. Oh! Minggu ke rumah Bu Yani merayakan ulangtahunku huhu dan makan-makan. Sambil ada rapat mau bikin acara minggu depan juga sih ada orang pemerintahan gitu lah dateng ke Oxford, aku sih gak ikut-ikutan yah karena fokusnya mau submit thesis. Cuma seru aja melihat dinamika itu semua. Dikasih bunga juga sama Kak Kaca! Huhu so happy.

Senin lupa lagi ngapain. Kayanya Senin Selasa Rabu kerja kaya biasa aja deh. OHHHHH. Hari Selasa sore KU SUBMIT chapter result ke-2 dari thesisku ke JOURNAL! HAHAHA. Harusnya ini lebih jadi highlight of the week, tapi jujur the Wild Robot >>> submit paper sih. Terus Kamis meeting sama spv dan postdoc, mulai keluar nama-nama calon internal/external examiner HAMDALAH makin dekat ni finish line saya PhD.

Jumat kemarin itu sebetulnya capek karena mix antara dapet hari ke-2, salah pake underwear (yang tidak period friendly), dan co-author-ku yang resek (dan post-doc-ku juga sih yang entah kenapa berulah banyak bener kemarin), dan kurang tidur juga kayanya karena belakangan ini susah banget tidur di bawah jam 1 entah kenapa???

Tapi yaudah overall good kok hidup. Amat sangat bersyukur. MAKASIH BANYAK YAA ALLAH. Sekian dulu. Kayanya pulang aja ah. Bawa laptop. Serem juga departemen kalau udah gelap. Bye, undur diri dulu. Oh. Terakhir. Tadi juga habis datang dari acara kumpul-kumpul warga Oxford gitu setelah ku selesai nonton bioskop. Dan sempat bahas sama teman-teman terkait ada satu teman kami (sebut namanya A) yang sudah memasuki tahun ke-4 PhD-nya tapi progresnya cukup mengkhawatirkan. Masalahnya (nggak masalah juga sih), aku adalah salah satu orang yang cukup frequent ketemu sama si A ini. Seminggu bisa minimal 1x-lah. Tapi emang aku ketemuan sama si A ini betulan buat nyampah aja gitu. Ku jarang banget nanya “gimana kerjaan?” begitu pula dia. Betul-betul buat decompress aja gitu. Dan lagipula ku mikirnya kalau ku nanya-nanya dia, dia jadi nggak comfortable lagi dan malah makin narik diri dan avoidant (dia bukan tipe yang banyak teman, jadi kalau udah sekali ilang, bubar). Barusan tapi udah ku-chat ke dia kalau aku pun pernah sempat konseling ke uni (karena kadang cuma perlu tahu satu orang lain buat bisa mendorong berani melakukan hal yang sama). Soalnya kesimpulan dari diskusi dengan teman-teman tadi, kami semua gaada yang bisa bantu juga… semua punya load PhD masing-masing… dan emang udah di ranahnya professional gaksih kalau sampai udah 3 tahun dia nggak tahu dia PhD-nya ngapain??? Karena kita teman-teman yang peduli juga kan, jadi gak bisa dibiarin aja… Bismillah deh. Semoga membaik keadaan si kawan ini.

Dah beneran terakhir, karena udah dingin banget beneran. See you next week!!!

Best,

Noni
