The one where Buck finds his Thomas.

I think a lot about Shepard's fish tank wipeout in the Citadel DLC.

The entire DLC is this lighthearted love letter to Mass Effect, and it's beautiful. But then there's THIS moment. When Shepard falls through a fish tank.

The entire way down, they desperately try to arrest their fall. They have no shields. No combat armor. There is no one to catch them. It feels like this is one of the few times there is ever fear. And they don't land gently. And the cut scene lingers on it. There is no levity in this moment. Shepard is on the ground, groaning in pain, slow to get up, clutching their ribs. First instinct before they try to get to their feet? Reach for the gun. Have that first. Then see if you can stand.

And I think the only reason we can have this moment, where Shepard is vulnerable, injured, and in trouble, is because there is no one there to see. The moment Brooks gets on the comm, they crack a joke. "Yup. Feeling good." While unable to stand up straight.

We get this at the end of the game, too, but that's when the stakes are at their highest. That's when it's supposed to be hard. It's no less magnificent then, but now, in this moment? When everything was happy and fun and silly? MAN.

And afterward, everyone jokes about it. Every single member of your squad makes a crack about the sushi place. And Shepard plays along. Haha, yeah, fell right through it, while trying to change the subject.

No one knows what that fall was like. No one saw Shepard lying on the ground in the bowls of the Silversun Strip, water dripping off them, struggling to get to their feet.

And no one asks, because it's Shepard.

For the Caitvi sex scene, I want ANGST and ANGER. I want their teeth to clash when they kiss. I want GROANS AND GROWLS AND WHIMPERS. I want DRY HUMPING and CRYING AND PASSION. If the scene doesn't start with them arguing and then suddenly they start making out, it is not CORRECT. I want that sex to be LIFE CHANGING. Absolute sloppiest thing I have ever SEEN!!!!!!!! CLAWING AT EACH OTHER LIKE THEY'LL NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN

Like the cursing penalty max saga is absolutely hilarious etc but it genuinely makes me furious. The FIA is actively trying to censor it's employees, and while it is perhaps not the most serious of censor content targets, this is nothing to be taken lightly.

Max is displaying such a healthy example of how to protest. He is refusing to elaborate on his thoughts within his contractual requirements, he is clear in his intentions not being aimed at innocent question askers, he is embarrassing the FIA large-scale, and he is providing the FIA with several incentives to change, financial and reputational.

He should absolutely be respected for this, both by us and by his fellow employees, and be supported in his cause.

I’ve been thinking about this for a couple days and the original ending of the show is great and perfect and it Had to Be That Way with Aang sparing Ozai’s life

But I really want Sokka to kill Ozai

I want him to one day find out exactly how bad he messed Zuko (and Azula) up and I want him not to be able to take it anymore and I want him to just snap and go to Ozai and kill him

And I want Zuko to see it and I want him to see the blood dripping from Sokka’s hands and I want him to smile and feel such intense relief that the man who’s always held so much power over him is finally gone but the I want him to be overwhelmed by a Terrible sense of Guilt that Sokka felt like he had to do that for him

And I want Sokka, King of Repression, to look up over Ozai’s corpse, soaked with the man’s blood, and smile. Because now Zuko is safe. And Sokka will never have a single regret.

I wonder how many times this happened.

It always hits me just how calm Loki seems to be when Mobius grabs him here. Yes, he is stressed and dismissive, but still he lets Mobius grab his jacket and hold him and ask. He doesn’t pull away, he doesn’t flinch. He calmly stands there, almost leaning into it, and lets Mobius be scared and confused.

I wonder how many times it has happened before this. I wonder what Loki felt the first time he said “trust me” and Mobius said “no!” I wonder how many times it took for him to stop fighting it. I wonder if there was a time he let himself stay there for too long, feeling the grounding touch of Mobius’s desperate hands keeping him still, only this time, just for a moment, if he let himself rest there. I wonder if his heart broke a bit each time, but he couldn’t make himself change his choices, making it happen again, and again, and again, and again.

Thinking about Nami and protectiveness and how she spent years protecting her village from Arlong as a child without that protection being reciprocated and now she's fallen ill and is still thinking of how to protect Vivi from news about Alabasta as there's nothing they can do but get there rn and how she thinks her health shouldn't be first priority to the people who should care about her

But they do! Vivi announces that they need to get to Alabasta asap which the boys are all visibly angry about BUT immediately follows it up with they need to find her a doctor first no matter what and the boys instantly brighten up and agree and they are all refusing to leave her alone in her sick bed

Just Nami being loved and protected!

kenneth branagh should actually just not be allowed to touch poirot again. pls let me have my silly little detective back. pls. make the mysteries cozy and let him be fucking silly and imperfect again. he is overdramatic, he has a big ego but he doesn't run around firing guns and kicking in doors.

he has someone kick in the doors for him. and then he pays for the damage. and gets a better more sturdy door as a replacement.

also what the fuck did he do to my girl ariadne oliver? poirot and her are besties. their friendship is literally so important in the books. put some respect on her name.

also where is hastings? he should be there.

Batfam Prompt #3

Give me an au where Jason Todd doesn’t die bc he just never becomes/stays Robin.

Like he still found out Bruce is Batman and that’s cool as shit but he tried being Robin for like a week and decided it wasn’t for him bc of how sore and sleepy it made him. (And then he found out that’s what Dick’s mother used to call him and adds it to the list of reasons he’s not gonna be Robin bc Bruce doesn’t have the right to give him the name)

Bruce has been providing Jason with a safe place to live with plenty of resources he could take full advantage of and he intends to do so. Jason wants to learn, to travel outside of Gotham, to do something he enjoys, to help people and give back to his community.

Let Jason be a nerd. Let him enjoy classics and join the school theater. Let him go to college and get a degree. Let him find a profession he’s passionate about. Let him get involved in charity and humanitarian work. Let him have hobbies he does for the thrill or for fun. Let him live the life he could only dream of as an alley kid.

Give me civilian Jason. Give me Jason the Scholar. Jason the Patron of Arts and Theater. Jason the only living Wayne with doctorate. Jason the Gotham Celebrity, beloved particularly by the Alley folk for all he does to help them. Jason the big brother that helps his vigilante sibs with homework. Jason the man who lives his life to its fullest potential

Give me a Jason Todd who gets to live.

Happy International Women's Day to trans women. To BIPOC women. To GNC women. To intersex women. To fat women. To all the women in the world who have been marginalized and mistreated and isolated from womanhood at large by the dominant narrative of femininity.

Remember that womanhood is intensely personal as well as communal, and there is no one right way to be a woman. You are the only one who gets to define your womanhood.

Happy International Women's Day

I’m just here as your friendly neighborhood podcast listener and current layabout with not much going on.

I’ve seen a few things about Eddie and the community turning on him quickly. I think a lot of things people aren’t remembering or realizing is just how prevalent the satanic panic was, and is, in the US.

Now there’s no chance that everyone in Hawkins hated Eddie and believed the satanic stuff. I mean, look at everyone in Hellfire. I guarantee parents were wary at first but then Eddie shows up like a goofball or has a string of ma’am’s and sir’s and they realize he’s just a kid with a lot attached to his name from a lot of terrible circumstances.

Anyways. A good thing to listen to is the You’re Wrong About podcast. Specifically these episodes.

Very first one of the podcast:

And then these two both have multiple parts to them, the first one is actually about the book that kind of jumpstarted the whole panic to begin with.

This also has multiple parts. This one is about someone getting seduced by a ‘satanic cult’.

These would have been books that while not everyone would have had one in their home, anyone who was devout or at the least religious, would have bought or read their own copy.

Basically all I’m getting at is that Eddie would have had a lot going against him. I know that a lot of people didn’t want to read Flight of Icarus but Eddie’s character is built on a very shaky foundation. The town dogpiling when the ‘Queen Bee’ gets killed, especially if they’ve already decided that he is a satanist? It was only a matter of time.

i really hope buck and tommy have at least a couple episodes together where buck can feel free to explore this new territory and tommy makes him feel safe about it. bc the way tommy looks in the trailer after buck says this is his first time he's been on a date with a guy, that kinda shocked and maybe a lil uncomfortable face? i'm so worried tommy is gonna be like "hey buck i wanted to mess around and have fun with you for a while but i don't think i'm ready to be your first queer experience" and that's totally valid, especially since we can probably assume tommy's been out for a lot longer, maybe since he was a teen? or he at least knew for that long. so it's understandable he might wanna take a step back, especially if he wanted to just have some fun for a while with a pretty guy he met but now he's realising that, not only is he kinda standing in the way of this guy and his best friend/years long crush, but it's also this guys' first time exploring all these new feelings and emotions, and he might just not wanna be a part of that? which sucks but if he does that then i really hope he let's buck down gently :/

send 🔄 to switch powers / abilities with my muse

@jesse-vaudry

Though Rogue and Jesse had been rescued from Mister Sinister's lab by the other X Men, the altercations were already complete. Sinister had performed some sort of experiment that switched Jesse's powers with hers, leaving each of them with the other's abilities rather than their own. Beast and the professor were currently attempting to find a way to restore things to the way they were, but, until then, they had no choice but to live with the current situation.

For Rogue, this was a double-edged sword. As much as she absolutely HATED the idea of someone else being burdened with her powers, especially someone as nice as Jesse, there was something LIBERATING about being free from that burden, even if she knows it will only be temporary. And she hates herself for it; it feels selfish of her, being glad for a reprieve if it means someone else has to bear that weight rather than her.

Still, she can't help but feel a sense of EXCITEMENT at the prospect, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity that's been presented to her, no matter how much of a horrible person it makes her. She can touch people's skin; she can feel another's skin on hers for the first time since she was a teenager. She can hold hands with Remy, kiss him, touch him in all the ways a couple is supposed to be able to touch each other...

BUT FIRST, she has to apologize to Jesse for the burden that's now been placed on him, even if it's not actually her fault this happened. She approaches the other mutant tentatively. "Hey, I, uh... Ah'm really sorry 'bout all a' this... Ah wouldn't wanna put this on mah worst enemy, much less one of mah fellow X Men..."
