One big example of how filler is useful (when it is good and not just wasting everyone time) is 90 Sailor Moon Anime.
Those episodes of monsters of the week take their time to explore each sailor, their personalities, relationships with the other cast. That's why the friendships of all the sailor scouts are more solid and the two deaths scenes of the sailors are so powerful (against Queen Metalia and Sailor Galaxia).
I think one problem with filler nowadays is that a lot of storytellers don't know how to use it properly, those episodes just shows us the characters going towards a situation without exploring nothing further from the characters, they go with the most literal way of the word "filler" while making those episodes.
Ladybug is one series that could benefit a lot by taking full advantage of fillers, especially if they wanted to do a lot of heroes, one episode revolving around how Alya is a good heroine but a terrible journalist, another episode about how Nino needs to learn to keep secrets. Episodes that focus on other characters, yeah Marinette can be involved in the plot and five support but she can take a rest from being the main focus (especially cause her plot around liking Adrien got old really quick).
Do filler, but do it good
genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

printer problems — vernon chwe
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🤍 pairing, vernon chwe x reader
🤍 warnings, non-idol au, fluff, loosely (and i mean LOOSELY) based on the tv show abbott elementary, first-grade teacher!vernon, kindergarten teacher!reader, vernon is whipped, coworkers to ???, lowkey flirting, svt members mentioned as teachers, cursing (vernon says like 4 curse words), awkward vernon ftw
🤍 summary, the seemingly untouchable first-grade teacher vernon chwe has a little (read: huge) crush, and it's on none other than the sweet kindergarten teacher (aka you)
🤍 author's note, i was scrolling on my 'for you' page on tumblr today and saw a post by @miniskirtmods talking about an abbott elementary au with vernon and i was instantly enamored with the idea 😭 yes i know nothing about this show BUT this was just too cute of an idea to exist SO here we are!
(psa: if you don't know about this show, no worries!! there are no references to the show in this because i know nothing about it and don't want to look stupid trying to know 😭 so just enjoy it as a teacher!vernon fic)
🤍 now playing, mutt (leon thomas)

vernon felt like a second-grader, taking his measly lunch of a turkey sandwich and ranch-flavored veggie straws to the teacher's table as he spied out the land.
("spying out the land" meaning trying to find a place to sit among the many teachers that made this underfunded school what it is.)
he could sit with fifth-grade teacher soonyoung who had a worrying obsession with tiger-print clothes, second-grade teacher joshua who all the staff thought was secretly gay, or maybe even third-grade teacher seokmin who also doubled as the school's event planner, music teacher and librarian.
(yes, they were that understaffed.)
all of those options paled in comparison to you, though—the new kindergarten teacher who everyone loved. you had gotten on everyone's good side in just a short time, and all of your students loved you, singing your praises as they went through the halls.
and vernon's in love with you—how? he doesn't truly know? why? well, he can list a hundred things, but over half of that list would make him sound desperate for your company.
(which wasn't all a lie, either.)
so, vernon, like the second-grade loser he feels like, awkwardly makes his way over to the end of the table where you sit, munching on carrots after dealing with a small disagreement between kids arguing about which sour patch kids flavor was better.
"hi, chwe." you smile, eyes meeting his for the ninth time today—not that vernon was counting or anything. that would be crazy.
...that would be crazy.
"hey," vernon tries his best to be nonchalant, throwing his boxed lunch on the plastic, slightly rickety table as he falls into his seat. his wire-framed glasses slide awkwardly down his nose as he looks down at the box, and he feels his cheeks heat up as you chuckle at him.
"your day been uneventful so far?" you ask sweetly, taking a bite of your salad as you watch vernon slowly. he unpacks his lunch, neatly arranging it before discarding his lanyard with his teacher id enclosed and wetting his lips.
"yeah, thankfully. i mean a kid did almost shit in his chair in my classroom, but that's nothing too new." vernon looks up at you through his eyelashes, admiring the sound of your pretty giggles. god, even your giggles were pretty.
"what about you? how's your day going?" vernon asks, finally taking a bite of his food as he watches you scroll on your phone. your hair falls in your face perfectly, obscuring most of your face except your pretty eyes as you return your gaze back to vernon. and that's the tenth time you've looked him in his eyes.
"it's going pretty good! we played with toys most of the day since the printer stopped working, and we—for some odd reason—we went and got the gym teacher to fix it." you say with a confused tone of voice, and vernon laughs to himself, trying to hide it.
that was very true—the school, being critically understaffed and underfunded (double wham), had a small circle of people who were assigned to do different things. mingyu, the gym teacher, was also the last-minute technician at the school.
"mingyu can't fix anything most of the time, let alone a fucking printer. i don't know why we still let him try to repair things." vernon laughs, and you shake your head, shrugging.
"i don't know, i think it's chivalrous for him to try to fix something, even if he doesn't know how to do it. it's cute, seeing him struggle sometimes." you smile down at your food, and vernon's smile fades just slightly, your words cutting like silly scissors.
vernon wasn't one for fixing things—he'd try to, sure, but as soon as he knew there was no use trying, vernon would stop.
mingyu, on the other hand, wasn't a quitter. he'd do what he did without fail, and whether it worked or not, he'd give it his best. and mingyu was cute while struggling to try to fix things? vernon might as well die, then.
who knew that vernon would ever want to switch places with mingyu? he'd do anything to have you talk about him like that.
"hey, i can fix your printer." before vernon is thinking, vernon is speaking, and he and all of his coworkers know how that ends.
you're staring at him with surprise in your soft, doe-like eyes, and god, vernon feels like he's melting on the spot. you're leaning in just slightly, fork in mid-stab as you eye vernon down. "you can?"
vernon knows he can't fix anything, let alone a whole printer, but with you staring at him like that, how can he say no?
"of course i can." vernon runs with the lie, shrugging nonchalantly and glancing down at his watch to quickly regain his composure.
"let me work on it after school. i'll stay late if you stay late." vernon feels a surge of confidence rush through him, and you smile, raising a playful eyebrow as you smirk at him.
"are you asking me on a date, chwe?" you say teasingly, and vernon's lithe lips part to reveal the prettiest smile you think you've ever seen.
"if you want to call fixing the school's rickety-ass printer after school hours a date, then yeah," vernon says with another shrug, and you nod, smiling as the bell rings, signifying the end of lunch. the two of you stand up, sounds of children filling the room loudly as you mouth: "it's a date."

i dont think we’re appreciating Wizards Beyond Waverly Place bringing back something that tv shows haven’t been doing in years: filler episodes.
there have been episodes of very simple premises like “oh, Billie’s old best friend visits and chaos erupts meanwhile Milo’s been turned into a gnome” or “the whole family ends up being a wizard immersive board game, costumes involved!” it’s fun, silly, and still brings forth emotional bonding and development for the main character (and other characters too).

Starting to think many don't really know what a filler episode is if they think all of these are filler. A filler episode isn't just a one-off story, but normally something that just feels like it is utterly forgettable and disposable and mainly there to fill out the schedule because the writers didn't have any better ideas. Episodes like Move Along Home, The Storyteller, Second Sight, The Muse, Let He Who Is Without Sin, Resurrection, Profit and Lace, etc. The type of episodes many will just skip on a rewatch.

tbh my latest biggest theory for why HoO and onwards is such a dramatic drop in quality and consistency is just. Rick stopped making teaching guides.
Like, the Lightning Thief teacher's guide is SUPER in-depth with even stuff like sources about middle grade child psychology and exact specifications of where he's applying that, explaining what different character's goals/motivations are, their dynamics with each other and their environments, etc etc. Even specifying which specific myths certain plot elements are supposed to reference or be about.
That stuff just doesn't exist for later books. There's activity guides and smaller, significantly more simple teacher guides for later books but they don't go into anywhere NEAR the same level of depth. The TLT one is a full lesson plan that breaks down the book at every level and explains what's going on and more or less why Rick did that. The others are all basically just glossaries of terminology and some simple question guides.
And they didn't even use the TLT teacher's guide for the Disney+ show because they clearly aren't adhering to any of what's discussed in that breakdown of the book.
By creating a teaching guide alongside writing the actual book, that's forcing you to document what you're doing, why, your sources, and information about your characters and the story they're in. It's like an even more in-depth version of a series bible. But that's lacking for later books (and etc) and it shows because that level of thought and depth and attention just isn't there anymore.

Moon's faceplate is wider than Solar's body. Solar walked right up to Moon, as Moon was getting ready to leave the daycare, and took his faceplate, while Moon was looking at him. He wasn't being particularly secretive about it in the slightest. Moon looked right at him, even. He would've seen his faceplate, even if Solar tried hiding it behind his back or something. How did Moon not notice Solar walking away with his faceplate???

I never wanted to say anything about what's currently happening with Good Omens because how aggressive people have been on here but, well, what on earth did you think would happen? You wanted Neil Gaiman fired from a project he is co-writer of the book, writer and producer of. A project he holds rights to. Season 3 without Neil Gaiman wasn't possible. So I for one thing am ecstatic Amazon didn't cancel it because honestly, that would've been the logical conclusion from how people have been acting and reacting on here. And to me, it seems cancellation was imminent and someone fought very hard for that not to happen.
90 minutes is plenty. Season 2 without the minisodes, title sequence and end credits was roughly 120 minutes long. Death at a Funeral is 90 minutes long. Ice Age 3 is 104 minutes. Stand by me, Nightmare before Christmas and Corpse Bride are quite short as well, not to mention the old Disney films. What I'm trying to say is, a lot of (imo) great movies aren't actually that long and there are no character introductions, exposition or world building needed for Good Omens 3. It's not ideal, and don't get me wrong, I was sad at first too and part of me still is, but it's a lot considering the circumstances. Please be kind, try to be positive and don't exude all your negative energy on the Internet.

I thought i was hallucinating people complaining about ep5 being a filler when i saw people agree with my post that the filler is Great, and then gets hit by 3 posts immediately in my for you complaining about it being a filler.
We really can't have nice things and we've been so molded by fast plot with no chill in so many series that we can't even enjoy a breather or even appreciate it. Bummer
Edit : remember when we almost lost DD onscreen forever? We were so sad and adamant to get it back. Yeah now we don't care about not getting content anymore since we've got it back so now we're demanding all the plot all at once instead, smh

Okay maybe it's just me but i actually don't care what the writers wanted to put in a story but didn't and I dont think they shoyod be used to argue canon.
It's one thing if a writer is forced to hide some details in the subtext because of censorship or tv-money politics its another thing completely to cut out whole scenes and be like but actually we where going to do this this this and that but we took it out but it shows you are intention.
like if something was that important just put it in the show 😭. And sure pacing and all that but that's for fluff and unneeded storylines not pivotal character building relationship scenes 😭.
I love arcane I really do but I am tired of hearing about what the creators said they were going to put in the show but didn't but before season 2 I personally did not understand Jinx and ekko's relationship/dynamic until I watched the Enemy music video where we actually see them being really close as kids and i heard the “I used to have a crush on you before you started talking to the gun line” from the game.
but it was likethe show just expected us to have all that content without showing it to us. And I just ughhhhh this is why we need "filler" episodes

Happy 25th birthday to Technoblade!
Also- I may or may not colour these later, but that's gonna take forever, so like...
We shall see.
Anyway. This is a bunch of some of my favourite Technoblade moments, all jumbled together in no particular order
Btw, most of these are direct quotes, (I only paraphrased, like. 2. I think-) since I spent a good deal of yesterday trawling the internet to find the originals. Feel free to ask if you want to know where something comes from! Though I think most of them are pretty obvious. Probably.
RIP Technoblade
Technoblade Never Dies!
:D
