The parents on the QSMP are so silly, I think they mistook "grieving" for "griefing"

Contemplating the concept of "potential" when it comes to intelligence and realizing how heartbreaking Logan's "Dreams come true, that's news to me" line in the Crofters Musical.

The Joker is Wild is an episode that really doesnt work where it is in the show

the idea that BJ is set off by like. jealous rage or whatever over Hawkeye comparing him to Trapper just doesnt work so late in the show when there's been 0 indication that BJ is jealous about Trapper at all. it feels like it comes out of nowhere, just a half-assed sort of reason given to set him off

ive mentioned this before here and I know its a hot take within this fandom but the supposed Trapper Complex just doesnt exist. in the 8 seasons that BJ is present in the show, I can think of three times Trapper's name comes up around him

Period of Adjustment, where he brings up that he feels like he hates Trapper. should be noted that BJ here is at about the lowest point we see him at, he's in complete despair, and he's also blind drunk. he also specifically brings up that he feels this way because Trapper has gone home- it has nothing to do with Hawkeye

Depressing News, Hawkeye refers to BJ as being the 'same size, same shape' as Trapper, and BJ's reaction can be construed as being not exactly pleased about it. I think this reads more as him just not being happy about literally being called Trapper's replacement, not him being jealous

then, of course, The Joker is Wild

because of this it really just doesnt make sense for BJ to suddenly have this jealousy in The Joker is Wild, not this late in the show. it would've honestly worked so much better if this episode happened back in season 4, because then you could've made that jealousy believable with BJ still establishing himself in camp and Hawkeye still dealing with Trapper's departure. but as it is, set in season 11, it really just doesnt work. its such a He Would Not Fucking Say That episode

Yasha and a Job Quest NPC that tickles your fancy!

(Not technically a Job Quest NPC, but a Class Quest one...)

Yasha and Mylla go back to the days when Yasha first learned swordplay. Yasha was fascinated with the gladitorial entertainment of Ul'dah and so desperately wanted to join them at a relatively young age. Luckily she had another young girl that had joined just a few years prior to spar with.

Mylla and Yasha had a fierce rivalry for the next decade, both rising in rank and skill in the guild. There was at least a unrequited crush from Yasha during these years, but Mylla really only had eyes for Aldis. They stayed rather good friends however, nearly as close as actual sisters.

Following Mylla's father's death, and Mylla's promotion to First Sword, Yasha and her started to drift. Yasha focused more on her own career, and Mylla had her hands full in running the guild. The burdens of adulthood has weighed heavily on these two fighters, but as the years have moved on they have rekindled their friendship. Yasha helps mentor new blades occasionally, while Mylla gets a willing ear to gossip about the happenings of Ul'dah to.

It usually doesn't take much to shoo him off; he's still afraid of her after all these years and her sister isn't here to hide behind.

She doesn't know why he bothers coming. They've never had anything in common and her hospitality is poor. But he comes, like clockwork, every week and sits across the table from her fidgeting with his mug of oversteeped tea and looking at anything but her.

Except if she looks away, and then, his eyes burn. They're pretty, amber-fire-gold. Sometimes brown. Pity about the face, though that's her fault. Magic blowback when they were six. He had avoided her ever since, and hidden behind her sister when he couldn't.

And then her sister was gone.

"It's time for you to get going, don't you think?" The silken tone is practiced, for just these sort of occasions. It's not like he's ever going to actually drink the tea. He probably thinks that it's poisoned.

Perhaps she should poison it, just to make a point.

He's not moving. In fact he's stiff in a stubborn sort of way, like he thinks he's going to stay. She'll soon fix that.

"I said-" she lights her palm aflame "- it's time for you to go."

I'm so bad at dealing with pain and suffering and grief and I literally don't know when I'm supposed to have that figured out

Okay, so if I were creative or funny or could draw, I would love to ship two totally random characters. Like two extras you see in the background for just a few seconds.

And I would start a comic about them. How they first meet, fall in love over time. And all the important bits would be where the ineffable husbands had a fight or break up. Like they have their first kiss/saying "I love you" at the bandstand.

They would talk about going to travel together and in the background Crowley is asking Aziraphale to go to Alpha Centauri.

They move in together and in the background is the Bentley with the plants and Crowley sleeping in it. They decide to get married after some years together while you can see the aftermath of the ineffable divorce in the background.

I would really love to do that. Sadly I'm neither creative nor funny and I can not draw.

this doesn't even have to do with the holidays really but i don't think people realize what kind of supreme loneliness trans people can experience, especially trans people trapped in isolated rural areas. i didn't even fully grasp it myself until i thought of myself as trans, not just nonbinary, despite my many trans friends. suddenly news headlines and articles and comments from coworkers don't just feel horrible because they're directed at people i care about, but now furthermore so severely something that's hard to put into words. over time, without really noticing, i've begun to experience a deeper kind of existential fatigue than i was used to due to so many other parts of life as we know it. as the new year approaches, it feels all too easy to despair at how many of our trans brothers and sisters and siblings won't be facing 2023 with us, and how hard it is still to face it ourselves. at this point survival alone is rebellion and the fire of that is one of the things getting me through this winter, and i can only hope the same can be said for others, but please don't forget to check in on your trans friends and family this time of year. whether or not the holidays are celebrated, many are still with or think of family and community and find themselves too often alone. if you're one of them, i can only say i see you, and i think of you often. we are not alone even when we're most alone, there are so many of us reaching out in our hearts and minds to lift each other up, those still here with us now and those who came and went far before us. we will find our people and we will feel at home, and most of all we are worth the struggle and more to keep putting one foot in front of the other until the sun rises on a new year, and the next one, and the one after that. remember that we are divine and we divinely love and we are divinely loved. remember that we belong here just as much as anyone else, not by any condition but being here in the first place. you are here, we are still here, and we always will be, and that's something worth celebrating if nothing else as this year comes to a close and a new one opens, and at every moment you remember it.

One of those ‘non-x fans; pick something that happens in the show’ but it’s about Color Show and the options are 'pick which of these writing choices pissed you off the most’
