idk why sonic fans care so much about canon timelines. classic sonic is past sonic or an alternate version sonic? who gives a shit sonic canon is the definition of fuck it we ball have fun with your blue rat
#they just did shit during the classic era#and then tried a couple of soft reboots here and there with adventure + 06#you really think half of this stuff makes sense as a linear story?#even with multiple timelines its like??? adventure very much acknowledges CD and 3&K by the characters interactions#so like? classic sonic happens to have the exact past classic experiences as modern sonic#hes just not the classic version of THIS particular modern sonic????#this shit makes no sense TT0TT#good luck to the people trying to unify canon#im like 99% sure its near impossible to do it without sprinkling soft retcons here and there#given they've flip flopped on the past X alternate universe classic sonic debacle#i just think 'canon' as a concept can be a little restrictive and the writters should get a little wild wiith it#'it doesnt make sense' well im here to have fun not to be matpat

From 'Dream of a woman' By Cacey Plett.
This sums up exactly how I feel about most transition timelines. As much as they reflect people's experiences, they are also a narrative. And the narratives that get shared the most tell a lot about what our values are. The timelines that get the most attention are the ones where people go from sad, loser, nothing boys into beautiful women.
But if you go to /r/transitiontimelines or a similar place, and sort by controversial or look at what has the least likes, its people who made timelines when they still don't 'pass' yet. Even if they're happy as can be, that's not what people are looking for.
I think it says a lot about what people expect from trans women, that they only want to see us be beautiful. In some cases, that they want to believe they can be beautiful. So there is no value in trans life if you're not beautiful.
#i dont know if this is exactly what the narrative was trying to convey here but it is something i felt while reading it#and i hope thats meaningful to others when shared#i know he's kind of a chucklefuck but i so think 'the queer art of failure' by J. Halberstam has a lot to say about the impetus to he happy#and its conditions#a lot of the time i feel like i have to perform positivity as a trans woman because its whats expected both from women#and from people lucky enough to transition#while at the same time social conditions are worsening and even personally#there arent solutions to much of my dysphoria#regardless of all that you're expected to just be happy even though the conditions for that don't exist#i think being honest about those things#that negativity#can bring its own happiness#and i think thats also valuable#i guess what im trying to say is that i think ugly trannies can be happy and should be valued#i think sad trannies are wonderful and ought to be cherished#and i think people shouldnt have to pretend to be happy in the same way a woman shouldn't have to pretend to be a man#maybe that doesnt make full sense and i need to think harder to communicate my feelings#but thats the vibe rn#anyways#i really like this book and yall should check it out#dream of a woman#cacey plett#trans women#transgender#trans#transmisogyny#transition timeline#i dont mean this post to denigrate timelines btw#just the way that we give certain ones attention and the teleology of transition that follows#books

Hear me out (or don't... it's fine I'm just venting and mean) yeah um I don't believe Chakotay was saved in Prod*gy s2.
#the 'time travel' makes no sense when you think on it. What happened to Prime Chakotay? He got killed they showed that.#At the end s1 Janeway finds an 'alternate chakotay in an alternate timeline' and that's the one they go and get#we saw the original get merc'd in the message. That ACTUALLY happened. Lmao.....#They didn't prevent THAT death because they didn't go to THAT Solum with the Infinity and stop it from happening#instead it was 'ALTERNATE#' implying other.#OG Chakotay wasn't taken over by the alternative one either nothing suggests that was the direction for him in s2#they didn't do anything like 'well you see chakotay because at the end of s2 when we converged timestreams you have merged with your other'#if they did want to recover the original from s1 then keep that clear instead of being convoluted dont use an alternate timeline wtf#instead the plot was focused on gywns stupid fucking paradox plot and her being fixed#chakotay was the one in a paradox too did that not matter nah dw about it he had to die for this outcome or someshit lmao why#In the extended message given to admiral janeway it shows him clearly getting left behind and surrounded. Sadly no one intervened.#I dont understand why they couldnt have just made s2 about his rescue alone IF they took their time it wouldnt be so difficult#to follow#above that the one they rescued was ruined by the 10 year gap so he wasn't 'saved' at all. God i hate s2 when you break it apart#I dunno the more i look at s2 Janeway and Chakotay the more upsetting it is. Janeway would NOT have settled for an imposter.#everyone going goo-goo gaa gaa over s2 but it's sloppy af imo and undermines a huge portion voyagers struggles#id really like them to flatly lay out their ideas because literally nothing ive heard explains the story or choices of s2 with conviction#instead it's oh clap for wesley or the new vulcan and other references yay#describe to me your timetravel clearly and i'll happily take a seat on it (there is still other crap stuff mind you)#this is the most repressed shit i my head i swear#im angry because s1 is so clearly mapped out to a brilliant degree and for whatever reason it's not in s2#i can see through it#insultingly people are eating it up and claiming it's better than ever nah dawg embarrassing#there are nice ideas inside s2 but they arent adequately rewarded#it doesnt compare to the timetravel in other trek because they kept it clear#i mean it could have been an interesting parallel to endgame but in the end janeway didnt even rescue him lmao they dropped her#why bother building up this mission only for her to give up and go 'i'll hand it over because im told to'. Janeway had fuck all this season#let alone settle for not fixing her own timeline and her own friends deadly circumstance dw just grab another one from the shelf i guess#the emotional fallout was absolutely missed because they didnt elaborate on anything. Plenty of show but no substance from the characters

back to hating vento aureo's timeline again. this time it's because diavolo supposedly burned his village, found the arrows and got passione to the point of massively increasing the crime rate in italy in the same year. why is everything always so compressed i'm just going to straight up ignore this shit
#the wiki's a frustrating reference point bc it has to put everything down even if it doesnt make sense#so you have trish being conceived in 84 and born in 85#then the priest sees diavolo with donatella in 86 and decides to build a garage?#so like she gives birth and goes back to hang out with him again?? that's not right#you just can't make that work by treating both timelines as canon

now that sonic prime is over im even more confused about people insisting that its canon and will tie into the game timeline somehow and its place in the timeline will be clear by time the show ends . like all the little contradictions that make it hard to believe this is the game universe aside. theres no undeniable in universe evidence that this is the game canon and not just a separate universe thats more faithful to the games than any of the other sonic tv shows are. and theres also no hint to where this would take place if it was canon aside from shadow and rouge being there but that doesnt really narrow it down much . this whole situation is just confusing and weird
#sonic prime#sonic prime spoilers#tagging because i will go into spoiler territory a bit but i saved it for the tags so people could look away if they forgot#to blacklist the spoiler tags or whatever#anyway i guess it doesnt Really matter. because with the way it ended the events of the show dont affect game canon too much#and nobody but sonic (and possibly shadow? his situation is weird im not really sure if he remembers. but i hope he does)#remembering the events of prime would work as an in universe explanation for why prime is never talked about or referenced at all#but idk. the insistence that its 100 percent canon is still weird . for all the reasons i said already#ngl i was worried that there would be an absolutely shitty ending that makes some stupid pointless change to the game lore#but that didnt even happen and its still not clear where this would take place if it was canon hello#i probably wouldnt even care about this at all if people didnt keep trying to convince me it was canon and that its place#in the timeline would make sense by the end but that is what happened and that is why i cared#whatever

did anyone even think about the fact that the beginning of nightbringer must be at a time in which human society is not nearly as advanced as it is now like the very beginnings. but the shitty versions of tikok and instagram still exist in the world even though devildom technology is notably behind human world tech because they have magic and didn't need to develop all of the tools humans did.this doesnt even make sense the obey me timeline is just fuckedup BWAHAH
#i cant even trying to logic it out is impossible at this point bc the game is constantly contridicting itself#this post literally doesnt even make sense bc the timelines been retconned like 10 times to the point where trying to find concrete indicat#ors of time passing and when things are supposed to occur is like impossible...

HES NOT CHRIS#Sure hes in a shitty situation and hes angry about it but he also knows THATS NOT SPECIFICALLY ADA OR LUIS' FAULT#THATS WHY HE DOESNT TAKE IT OUT ON THEM IN THE OG#Hes annoyed with Ada at most in the OG because imo it follows Leon B where she dies for him so they never got closure and thats frustrating#But hes not specifically nasty to her when shes HELPING HIM LIKE IN RE4R#Even in remake timeline terms the stark shift in their relationship is just too bleak to feel right or make sense#Sorry to rant I just hate how this game massacred the camp fun and the compassion of the OG#This game is what re3 og fans think re3make did to them but at least that game only cut locations and strengthened the characters story#This game kept most locations intact and shit but massacred some of the most important relationships in the story and it kills me

Just finished Sea of Stars! Wow, what a phenomenal game. Everything was so well crafted and I can tell a huge amount of love went into it.
I got the standard ending, which did feel somewhat anticlimactic but not enough for me to find whatever the glowing pillars it showed me are right now. The internet already spoiled for me what happens in the game's secret ("true") ending, so there's no reason to go further into that for now.
I felt like the ending I got made a lot of sense for the world and characters, and I loved seeing Elder Teaks show up in the post credits scene.
Maybe when the DLC comes out I'll come back to this world -- and maybe then I'll decide that I want to find the glowing ritual site in the Moorlands and 4 house plans that I've never even seen one of and 20 seashells or however many I don't have yet but none of those tasks sound interesting to me at all. The necromancer quest line might be more interesting, but again, since DLC is confirmed, I think I'll wait for there to be a bunch more to do all at once. I can wait to (presumably) kill Aephoril for now -- defending the cosmos from Him seems good enough.
#sea of stars#sea of stars spoilers#sea of stars normal ending#i am pretty annoyed that the ending that I got and liked is written off as 'false' or even 'bad' by so many people#to the point that they just spoil Garl's deal to everyone who dares to even look for the ending boss music to add to their playlists#not everyone wants to hunt down a dozen random collectables!#the story makes sense in the normal ending#it's triumphant even!#aephorul#runs away like the coward he really is#and zale and valere will hunt him down forever#or at least spoil his plans#idk i though it was good#im a little less happy about the game now that ive been told about there being a different ending but i think i should push past that#what happens in another timeline doesnt change how this over a year of on and off adventuring ended for me today#i really liked this game#i dont want to lose that to frustration about the structure of the ending

halfway through madame web i started planning out a sprawling existentialist fanfic about madame web and andrew garfield spiderman being brunch hags
#madame web is a staggering work of metafiction. Is a thing i could theoretically say#also its so funny that they almost put it in angrew garfield universe and then changed it bc the timeline didnt make sense and then it still#didnt matter because sony doesnt even have the rights to say the words peter parker IJBOL#anyway even if the timeline did somehow match. it would make madame web 50 years old when spiderman is spidering#which like to be fair is even more fun just the idea of dakota johnson in slightly older age makeup being like Hi ummmmm…. 👉👈

watched the first ep of the yakuza tv show and i wasnt expecting anything good but man. that was absolute dog shit
#why make all those changes to the character and the timeline and the plot like at this point just call it something else#and also. why make changes to make it worse#like im gonna out myself here as a y1 hater but the plot isnt exactly good#but it makes sense and works with the rest of the series overarching plot. the writing has just aged badly#this though. i just can get my head around it#also the subtitles are insane why arent they translating oyagoroshi#the japanese audience gets to know kiryu is in jail for killing his patriarch but the english speaking one doesnt?#and thats like another thing. they changed everything but also expect you to know about the games#like when he gets out of jail and the dudes from the shimano family are waiting and they introduce themselves as such#hows that supposed to make an impact if you dont already know who shimano is#the same for yumis sister like. yumis had 2 mins of actual screentime at that point. why am i supposed to care that thats her sister#i will continue to watch cause i wanna see majima but if theyve fucked up his character as well ill just drop it#maybe ill even replay kiwami 1

thinking about what absolute fucking Hell On Earth it would be for luz to send hunter away from the castle in the princess AU. it's like the worst possible version of the argument they have where he's like "tell me what's going on so i can protect you" and she's like "no. stop protecting me." in this version hunter doesn't have his imagination to come up with whatever luz is hiding, she tells him straight-up that belos wants to kill him. and orders him to leave. and once again tells him she has everything under control even though she really really really clearly doesn't
like. hunter really wouldn't care about his life being in danger in this AU, if luz told him and let him stay. but if she made him LEAVE??
hunter's entire Life is centered on protecting luz. and the most core facet of that protection, up until belos dies, is Managing The Emperor. hunter weathering ungodly amounts of physical abuse and letting belos do fuck-knows-what to him because they have an agreement: it's Good for hunter to be the recipient of belos's anger, because then belos isn't in danger of hurting luz. it's good for hunter to suffer in her stead, that's what he's built for, that's what he's made for.
hunter being told not only that he's having his entire purpose ripped from him, but ALSO that now luz is going to be the one Managing The Emperor?? and being told she "has everything under control"??? and being told that she's going to take it all on alone??
he wouldn't know whether it's worse if luz still doesn't know exactly what belos is capable of and is making this decision out of ignorance, or if she Does know exactly what belos is capable of and has actually weighed the risks. bc that would mean he's already failed in his entire reason for Being.
nightmare scenario!!! nightmare nightmare nightmare!!
#when he tells luz in the canon AU timeline that it wouldve shattered him. He Knows What He's Talking About#imagining him going to lilith or amity or darius like. i need help. and there is no one else i can ask#all three have appeal. lilith in that it puts her in a nightmare position herself when she doesnt even get along with hunter#amity in that being asked to protect luz is HER worst nightmare but if a genuinely desperate hunter asked it of her#.....she might. she might do her best.#and darius because it makes most sense for hunter to trust him and because he'd Freak.#darius straight-up eviscerates belos and solves everyone's problems ASMR.#toh#princess luz au#hunter toh#luz noceda#horrible mindscape trauma pals#belos toh#abuse#child abuse#princess luz au alt timeline

"SONIC CHARACTERS AGES DONT MAKE SENSE!!!" people when a franchise about talking animals with superpowers isnt 100 percent accurate to real life
#alternate caption: ''sonic characters ages dont make sense'' people when a franchise for children mostly has kid characters#''amy has her own apartment !!!!!!!!!!!'' okay? shes also a pink hedgehog why are you demanding realism here. shes still obviously a kid?#same with tails . hes still obviously a very young child even if he does things that real life kids wouldnt be doing#also the thing with shadow ?? when characters from anything else get frozen for a while people have no issue accepting that they didnt age#but for some reason a bunch of people think shadow is actually 50+ evne though its the exact same situation??? hello#also long running franchises where the characters dont age or the timeline doesnt make perfect sense#is such a common thing why is it suddenly a huge problem when sonic does it#also when you think about the in universe standards for how teens look and act most teen sonic characters are pretty obviously kids#idk where this ''well theyre basically adults!!!!'' stuff comes from#its cleraly just a thinly veiled excuse to be weird about them

in my dsmp canon cdream is like close in age to cwilbur, just slightly younger, so just keep that in mind lol
#dream smp#dsmp#ik i tend to talk a lot in the tags when i could just post all my thoughts in the regular post but i feel like that clogs it#fundy was born when wilbur was 20. my timeline makes no sense so forgive me. fundy is 8 when wilbur is 28. when fundy is 14 wilbur is 34#and thats when nov 16th happens imo. thats when the final battle of pogtopia v manburg happens and thats when wilbur dies.#ignore my tommy design concept sketch's age info (i literally just wasnt sure what to put. at this time tommy would be like 21 not 18)#all of this to say dream is like 29 when wilbur dies#things change its possible i'll just switch stuff around so that the ages arent so crazy but idk i like keeping it somewhat realistic#also fundy needs to be 14 by the time wilbur dies bc ghostbur remembers him being 14. and i am. stuck on my own rules ive made up in my hea#as for the fundy/dream engagement.. fundy was always more into it than dream was. like cc wise. he always brought up ''i have a husband''#and stuff like that even though there wasnt an actual wedding yet. and even tubbo asks (in character) how it feels being engaged to dream#even though theyre fighting on opposite sides of the war. ANYWAY anyway.. in my dsmo canon cfundy initiates the ''romance'' and instead of#yk.. not giving a kid the time of day. cdream allows it. and its all a war tactic or whatever. hes not actually interested in fundy but#it'll rile up fundy's dad. and it'll cause a rift between fundy and all his friends on the other side of the war.#meanwhile fundy is completely lovestruck and doesnt understand that 1. this is wrong and 2. hes being led on :(#definitely adds to his issues with feeling unloved and unwanted in the future but shhh we dont need to talk about that

Duviri is gonna kick over p much everything i've got down about North and in part about Higgins too and even so i can't wait
Thinking about the devs showing off being able to summon your frame for a few seconds while in Duviri, and it being a high level intrinsic i think? And in turn thinking about North, returning to Duviri on unfinished business again and again and eventually learning how to summon Higgins even if only for short moments at a time, not out of desire for power but for companionship, bc they're alone here and hurting, and sometimes it's not even used for combat, it's just for the transference equivalent of a hug bc they want their friend to be around so bad
#kata's chatter#my proficiency is ruining the canon timeline#like im p sure all the canon we have is supposed to span a few months maybe??#but higgins doesnt even come around immediately after tnw#and him gaining autonomy and developing a friendship with north alone takes Months#i am time dilation on two legs#oc: drifter north#oc: higgins#looking at these two and realising that oh yeah alright. makes sense. reading network effect permanently altered my brain chemistry#vis a vis scifi telepathy-based friendships

@theirmockingjay sent: 1. being strangled.
spot the muse starters / always accepting.
Mentor to an underfed tribute from the poorest district that had zero chance of survival with the worst personality to add to the atrocity of the tribute he was given, how brilliant for him and his survival. Since his survival did rely SOLELY on the plinth prize, that relied on winning but he was so uninterested in his tribute after multiple attempts of trying to warm up to the miserable girl with the seemingly permanent scowl on her face; Coriolanus was in a conversation with his friend Sejanus when a commotion caused him to find where it was coming from. Behind the cage was his tribute being attacked, quickly rising to his feet to freeze in horror at another tribute's fingers tightly curling around his tribute's neck. Of course, it would be the girl he was assigned to. Watching the scene unfold, heartbeat raced and Coryo clammed up. Mind racing on what he was supposed to do since he felt being the only one responsible on whether she lives or not, no one else was racing to save her. They were all standing around much like him, not daring to jeopardize their own lives.
He shouldn't been bothered enough to think about risking his own life once he turned to find zero Peacekeeper's on guard– she was useless, good as dead anyway, hated him from his assumptions... so what was he doing even? Quickly bolting for the end of the cage? Where he knew there'd be an entrance into it after ungracefully climbing dirt and rocks. Sliding down off the pile of sharp rocks, slashing his skin open that would leave a horrible burn later, he was now in a cage full of animals that could easily have their fingers around his own neck. Yet, he barreled along with ambition, taking one of those rocks with him that had left his palm scraped with dots of crimson from the road burn and without much thought other than to not kill them– knocking the tribute on top of his tribute unconscious with it before he took a step back in horror again as the other's grip loosened and fell on top of Katniss. The taller drops the rock, fingers slowly uncurling from it and thudding next to his foot into the dirt. He leans down, pushes the tribute that had attacked her away and now left to wonder if his tribute managed to survive being strangled.
#theirmockingjay#i thought of how this could work w/ him being the younger coryo and all#so i just came up w the idea of this au where k.atniss is his tribute rather than l.ucy gray ?? her being born into his timeline#and such#this prolly makes no sense so feel free to ignore this if it doesnt !! but i wanted to reply to u !! even if our canon#timelines didnt match up. this is the first thing my brain could come up with for them to be able to interact dksnd
