i go back and forth a lot on my interpretations of ats s5, ie. what parts of spike are 'in character' or not, but the one thing that stays constant is my belief that spike and angel fucking would have fixed most of this.

#not that it would have fixed their problems i just mean it would introduce new problems that i would find entertaining as a viewer #anyways i don't like saying a character would NOT say/do that but sometimes i'm not sure if he (spike) SHOULD do that #in terms of showing off the more interesting parts of a character while also carving out a unique arc/dynamic for him on a new tv show #ats rw #i think what's misunderstood about spike is that he's NOT a solo sigma male lone vigilante bad boy action hero #like i think angel is actually the one who has a history of isolating himself #but spike is your friend who always has to be in a relationship (which i think btvs got correct with harmony)#idk. i think oz has that line in btvs where he's like 'i gotta go do that guy thing where i isolate myself now'#and i think that gets transposed onto spike when he goes on the 'guy show' doing 'guy things'#and then kinda blended up with the tension that many of the guys on ats experience between #being a tough guy capable of doing things on his own versus the desire to belong in a crew #but like. that's not a 'guy' thing that applies to all men. that's a thing that certain individuals experience. and spike is not one of the #like i don't think spike cares about how he fits in with society or the collective but i think he DOES care about how individuals #he's close to perceive him #anyways. today on 'reading too much into a tv show that stopped airing 20 years ago'#i gotta make a separate post about this #buffyposting

When Gideon is telling his story of escaping enslavement in episode 45, he fabricated the story a little bit. At the parts when he made a joke about telling some guy he fucked his Mom or made himself sound cool, he was lying because the real story is more terrifying and upsetting than he wants to share so he made it more funny and entertaining for everyone's sake. There was probably lots of moments when hobgoblins tried to pull him back or nearly shot at him and probably called him slurs. He gave them the more PG version of the story.

This is a true fact.

I think so too. The joke was funny, and maybe he even thought about saying it when he was planning his escape, but it would have been a fucking terrifying situation.

Gideon doesn't *like* being terrified. He's supposed to be the bodyguard, the strong guy, the brick wall that stops people from hurting his friends. If he's scared...what then? He hesitates, he stumbles. If that happened even *once*, all his friends could die, he could lose his new life.

Or what if after sharing the *real* story, people thought he was weak? That he wasn't worth having around because he couldn't handle some hobgoblins, so how could he handle any business in the real world? Gideon knows that the situation was difficult, in fact many would have died in his place, but it doesn't stop him from thinking he could have been better.

And, maybe not worse than that but definitely not helpful, the *pity* is almost painful. I think perhaps he's only really told Kremy everything. Kremy doesn't do pity. Kremy treats him like a grown ass man who isn't looking for some faux sympathy but, like, a friend. Maybe some reassurance, comfort even. Anything but pity.

So yeah, it's all one big joke. In the past, forgot it all already. Just a little 10 year notch in the fantastic life of Gideon Coal. It's so funny guys. It's absurd to think how I could have been scared. Don't give me that look. We are laughing. It's so hilarious that I can't stop thinking about it over and over and over and over again. I replay it in my head all the time, for fun. The shaking, the tears, the hyperventilating. It's just cause it's so fucking funny.

#might make a separate post about his dumb coping mechanisms who knows #i gotta laugh cause if i dont laugh ill cry and i cant cry #projection junction #once upon a witchlight #legends of avantris #ouaw #text #this is a true fact #gideon coal #ask box hc

GUYS WE FINALLY HAVE SFTH LONGFORM CHARACTER TAGS ON AO3!! :D

(we still don't have any canon relationship tags as far as I know but this is still pretty cool!)

#shoot from the hip #sfth fanfiction #these definitely aren't all of them but they were the ones that i was able to find #it's annoying me a little that jemima's canon tag isn't jemima steven but ah well #it's not a huge deal since “jemima steven” redirects to the canon tag anyways #also I guess her canon name is jemima jeffrey now (cause andre beetroot referred to her as such in the patreon podcast) so??#I'm sure the relationship tags will be wrangled very soon we just gotta wait for it :]#I should probably make a new ao3 tagging guide now that there are more canon tags #but I'd like to wait until there are some canon relationship tags before making it just so I won't have to make two separate posts for it #anyways I'm so happy that we have canon character tags now!!!#especially cause I've been a little annoyed by the lack of canon tags for a while now lol #(ever since I first joined the fandom actually I've been annoyed about it for a while now)#does anyone else care about this? probably not #but *I* care about this so I'm gonna talk about it

"So are you too locked in or can I make a request?"

It would never, ever, get old: watching a man the size of a mini van jump a foot in the air and straight out of his skin. The flash of steel catches the blinding supermarket lights in his ghost vision.

Wisely, Duke steps out of the way of the knife going for his stomach.

"Duke what the fuck!" Jason whisper yells when he realizes. (Duke barely suppresses an eye roll, who else has the invisibility powers required to make a holographic jacket stealthy.)

(Cass probably, Duke's mind provides.)

"I could have hurt you!"

"It's nice for you to think that," he consoles with as much condescension as Duke could muster. (A lot, for your information, he learned from the best, and also Batman.) "Anyway answer the question."

"No," Jason grumbles, trying to straighten his list where it got crunched in his deathgrip. "Planning d-"

"Day was yesterday, yeah, I had a math test yesterday."

Jason's eyes narrow.

"Does B have more trackers that I don't know about?"

"Hm? No," assures Duke. "I took Tim's notes."

"Tim's notes that have like a billion layers of security?"

Duke snorts.

"His notes that have two passwords, a thumb scanner, and a retinal scanner." He rolls his eyes for real this time to display his clear disdain.

"That Babs can't hack through?"

"You and I both know that Babs' concept of 'can't' is much more flexible than her concept of 'won't'"

"Fair that's on me for this very stressful afternoon you are putting me through," Jason snipes.

"Think of it as exposure therapy," Duke says, patting Jason's shoulder, which, to Duke's extreme delight he doesn't flinch from. "And I'll show you how I hack Tim's shit when we're not in public."

Jason grumbles, which is good as gold in Jason speak.

"Make your request," Jason begrudges, in that tone he has that indicates he will be judging your choice.

"Jalapeno cornbread, and you show me how you make it my dad wants the recipe."

Jason's head snaps up and he smiles.

"Oh man if it's for Doug you can request anything you want!"

"Eighteen million dollars," Duke jokes.

Jason pretends to think on it for a beat.

"Make it 14 and you have a deal."

Duke sighs dramatically.

"You drive a hard bargain but I'll accept... I guess."

"Shut up flashlight," Jason laughs. "Come on, I need cornmeal now."

#duke thomas #jason todd #idk where this came from #but now i have headcanons about duke and security tech #tim drake #sorta kinda in spirit #id tag babs but that would be mean to babs #batfam #bread talk #my fic #i will make a separate post about duke and thumb scanners but i gotta go home now woooo

Not a Norman Osborn Apologist or a Norman Osborn Hater but a secret third thing

#redemption may be possible but he's gotta earn it with like his blood sweat and tears #he's gotta have his ebenezer scrooge moment of realizing what a miserable shell of a man he has become #how he has alienated everyone who cares about him and that is not a long list of people #and he can only try to make amends with the ones he hasn't killed #i have found vanishingly few post-nwh fanworks that tackle this in a satisfying way if they even try #many do not #do i yearn for the father-son reconciliation? in my heart of hearts i do #but i think it would be better if harry doesn't go for it right away #even if he wanted to he might not trust it and years of being brushed off and criticized would not disappear overnight #someday i should make the post about how norman could really love his son but it might not matter #anyway sorry for making a whole separate post in the tags but there ya go #green goblin #norman osborn #raimiverse #op

Sparkstember Day 16: Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins (When Do I Get To Sing "My Way")

So, well, what an era this was, right. Comeback of the century! Gratsax just has that certain *something*. It's brilliant! One of the best albums ever made if you ask me. The fully electronic style is so perfect for Sparks and they just do it here like it's nothing and like they've been at it for many years. Of course there's the hiatus that took place in the years before it to keep in mind but even then, this album is a HUGE accomplishment and an incredible standout in a catalog of releases that's already full of standouts of all sorts. And it's definitely a personal standout for me too, thinking about how it's been almost a year since I first heard it really freaks me out! It was such a different time for me I feel like, but many things are also exactly the same as back then. It's weird to feel nostalgic about it now but there's really no better word to describe what this feeling is like exactly.

I think this album is meant for vinyl listening in a way. It just fits it so well!! And it's not just the quality to the sound that it has this way (and I don't mean that it sounds necessarily "better", more like just, different and that somehow complements the music even more), but also the ability to have an actual good view of this wonderful album cover that's among my top favourite Sparks things ever. So cool looking! So funny and memorable! One of the finest instances of the music sounding exactly like what the cover looks like. (and learning that the cover is a homage to a SPECIFIC magazine rather than just tabloids in general, that only made it more amazing because it really does look so alike, stuff like this is really cool to me for whatever reason lol)

Also I like the fact that I bought this silly little "disco" lamp around this time last year, so plugging it in for extra vibes during listening makes it all just kind of perfect. And another thing on the visual aspect of it all: this is such a good era for music videos, they're all SO GOOD! Some of my very big favourites for sure and the My Way video might really be one of the best music videos EVER MADE.

But ok, let's get to the point now. Something that stood out to me right away is that every song here is so unique but they fit together so well anyway (not first instance of such thing happening either). There's really lots of variety! I also remember this album fondly because of how it was the first one I listened to with my parents and when my Sparks obsession truly started to become one of the most noticeable things about me to other people, lol. But finally feeling more free and confident with sharing my favourite things that mean so much to me with others is such a wonderful thing anyway, I'd even argue that it helped me live my life more fully than before! And yeah, it's mostly a remark they (my parents) made, that this album nails the balance between keeping to a certain style and offering something new with each song. It's such a wonderful journey!

Alright, once again getting carried away a bit here even though I had no ideas earlier for what to say today. Highlights time then, which is also a bit of a problem because besides one special favourite this album has no spectacularly outstanding highs or any lows, it's all just equally amazing. But I'll try anyway, as I always do.

Favourite songs (and other highlights):

When Do I Get To Sing "My Way": my parents absolutely love this song and well, I do too. No suprise that it's among their most beloved and well-known songs, it really has it all, and it's one of Ron's very best when it comes to lyrics, without a doubt

Frankly, Scarlett, I Don't Give A Damn: so so atmospheric and special, I really like the vocal filter of sorts that's used here, it's just, so cool sounding all around!!

I Thought I Told You To Wait In The Car: this was my LEAST favourite at first but I grew to really like its unhingedness and the part with all "the CAR!!"s on top of each other is just peak of it all and funny as heck

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil: one of my favourite of Russell's vocal performances! This one and Scarlett are a bit of a duo to me, both simply beautiful songs

Tsui Hark: I LOVE the sound of this one, the piano plus the synth and the spoken word lyrics make this kind of combo that makes it feel like I've already known this one for years and it's just... always existed (which is a term that will apply to a lot of 21st Sparks material anyway, so, that's something to look forward to)

The Ghost Of Liberace: such a big comfort listen to me, I just love this one, makes me feel so at home!!

Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins: shoutout to these too because I feel like they might be easy to overlook as these very brief pieces, but they're that extra element that just, really cements this album as a wonderful whole with something to unify all of it into this package of wonder of all sorts

...And then there's the many bonus tracks also, which I'll just mention briefly since I almost forgot about them and because, yeah. I love them all, but the closest to my heart are Love Can Conquer All, She's An Anchorman, She's Beautiful (So What), Mid-Atlantic & This Angry Young Man (Ain't Angry No More) ((and the RON VOCAL VERSIONS OF THEM)) and Katherine Hepburn (love the whole Christi Haydon EP (and Christi is so cool and awesome I need to say that too today) and I should listen to it more, the Boris The Spider cover is fun as heck also)

And now bonus video for no reason from (almost) a year ago, because again, the nostalgiaaaa. (Back when I didn't have a shelf for my record player yet so it took up half of the space on my desk lol)

#apologies for another longass post it WILL happen again #something poetic about making this drawing while drinking tea from my gratsax mug #also even though i already use an excessive amount of layers #this still taught me how important it is to do things on separate layers even if it might feel unnecessary at first #those shapes were not easy to deal with actually because of that #and I had to accept not being able to move them around much again to make the whole layout fuller and overall better oh well #i gotta say that this might be one of my fav days just because of how great it is to see others make stuff inspired by this album #so many cool ways to go about it with the tabloid-like cover i feel like #we're also reaching the point when i'm struggling again with the writeups on the day i post them bcs god doing two separate things at once #but i've decided that that's my FORMAT so i'm STICKING TO IT #and i hope i'll still be able to put something sufficient together for my three beloved 00s albums #they deserve it even more than anything else before them #sparkstember 2024 #my art #goose monologues

thinking about them and banging my head against the wall again whats new. they are making me so emo. god. what the fuck

#ann plays fates #theyre like all i can think about rn #its that time of the year #i mean i think about them both constantly separately but its always when september comes #do i get hit with the laslow/nyx rarepair brainrot i think #that just lasts through fall and winter #not that im complaining. i think eventually i will have posted the entire fucking conversation #i cant help it. each part gives me a segment of dialogue to be ill about #i have ‘but with burdens so heavy dont you think we can lean on eachother a bit?’ on my wall #ROMANCE. TO ME (girl who is aroace)#also underrated thing about them i like how nyx flirts back #its more prevalent in their A support but shes so fun with him even beyond the bonding over traumatic pasts #i think with laslow he does a lot of flirting right bc hes laslow but a lot of the time its like #no ones matching his energy #i was gonna say match his freak but i dont think he has any freak if im so real with u #if he does its buried beneath five metric tons of shame and embarrassment #and i like how his… laslow-ness kinda gives nyx space to let loose if that makes sense #like he can match her maturity because he. you know. all of that #but hes still young and so she can find a little bit of reprieve from it all in his attitude and blah blah blah #if that makes sense #they r just so perfect. TO ME #ive only ever written and posted one thing for them but i have like five million (like six) things in my drafts i need to get back #into writing. rarepair hell gotta feed myself #also that was like two years ago it kinda sucks a bit but thats fine its called growth #i just miss them. i dont really have the brainpower to play fates but i have enough to think about them #i mean i played a little but ive mostly just been doing dumb shit with the class system and not rly playing the game #we’ll get to it #im supposed to be sleeping

need to think about something taffy and coco can do during the timeskip because i am now thinking it would be awesome if all mochis guild members joined an (at least partially) antagonistic purpose after she left and the timeskip begins with a bunch of missions trying to get them back

#i am still thinking about this as an rpg #gotta do 3-4 quests first getting your guild back before you can actually advance the main quest #lime -> m34th regiment #oscar -> madam springs #coco (and by consequence taffy) -> ????#mochi would kick madam springs ass to get oscar back on board #its been on my mind to make some kind of overarching organization anyway #something like the adventurers guild in genshin #the people who post the commissions and you sign up for magic community jobs #hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm #i am only now thinking of the possibility of separating coco and taffy...................................#taffy does the (ive been fucked up my whole life and i need to figure some stuff out) trope and fucks off for a while #mayhaps????? eyes emoji????

I’m clipping from the Ze, Chilled, and Junk streams on my break and I love them so much,, it feels so nostalgic and there’s very clear chemistry of old friends just hanging out,, plus Shellshock is super nostalgic as well as them trying out that new racing game

#they reminisce a lot on old times and still make new memories together you gotta love it #and sometimes I remember old jokes!!!#unrelated but on a prop hunt stream they did a couple months ago they were on the fish cone map and I was like:#wait…. THEY ACTUALLY ADDED THAT TO THE MAP??? I GET THAT REFERENCE HOLY SHIT #(it’s an old mark bob wade jack reference if my yt brain remembers correctly)#and CHILLED!! I will never stop praising him for how understanding he is of other peoples needs!! outside of his menace of a persona #he’s super empathetic and always makes sure everyone is happy whilst sticking to his morals as well #I’m gonna make a separate post about how awesome chilled is in terms of streamers and people I think #private recording 1 #youronlychat
