#i just was thinking about it

Prompt

What if Danny was slowly dying, every time he got closer to death he’d turn into phantom and when he got better he’d turn back.

Or he’s constantly healing, like he has to half kill himself to turn into phantom and then he’s on a timer until his body heals and he turns back into Fenton

Just imagine him doing stupid dangerous stuff to try to turn into phantom. Or a no one knows au where he seems extremely suicidal but he’s just trying to save everyone.

The shenanigans that would ensue

I have consumed a lot of posts about TUA season 4, both good and bad and neutral. I watched it too and it definitely wasn't satisfying. So I took to reading everyone else's thoughts and memes.

Ultimately, I agree with a lot of people about how it could have been better/things were poorly written. I think if we'd been given 10 episodes, it would have solved a lot of the issues.

But I figured out why I'm indifferent about the sloppy ending.

I wasn't as hurt by it as a lot of other folks. I didn't put together the larger lesson of "these abused children learned the world was better off without them and had to kill themselves" that everyone is complaining about. Partly, because I just didn't read too much into it. I didn't analyze the show as I was watching it. They didn't build the season enough for me to sit with it. It was just so quick.

But it hit me tonight, why I didn't feel as upset about all of this.

It's Supernatural.

That's it. That's the reason. Nothing compares to the complete disastrous state the ending of Supernatural was.

To this day, I still have not rewatched a single episode of Supernatural. I have blocked all tags for it here on tumblr. I have stopped reading the fanfiction. I am entirely uninterested in that show and the people who were in it for the rest of my life.

But TUA, I am already casually rewatching the other seasons. I am reading the fix-it fics and enjoying the gifs people are posting.

Do I wish it we all got a better final season? absolutely. But there are parts I loved and I just wanted more.

Supernatural has numbed me from getting enotionally distraught due to a TV show.

And all these years later, i understand that maybe that's what it all was for. Maybe it set me free from caring too much about a TV show and the inevitable disappointment that comes with these productions nowadays.

I may be exaggerating that last part, but the point is that I loved TUA and it deserved to go out on a better note. But the ending didn't ruin the whole show for me.

Supernatural's ending did. And nothing will ever compare to the embarrassment I have that Supernatural hurt the way it did. I didn't ask for that. I didn't know it would.

But I do think it gave me some distance from investing and hyperfixating too much on a piece of media.

Maybe.

Find me another show and we'll see what happens.

Just a question.

Not something i plan on doing currently, just I fun thing I was thinking about.

If there was an Aphmau-themed FNAF fan game, would the characters be animatronics or not?

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

The secret Dungeon Meshi sauce that's getting people to eat better is that it's so non-judgmental. Senshi and the rest of the gang never talk about what not to eat besides things that taste bad and literal poison. They don't even talk about "health" that much besides the importance of a balanced diet. It's so much easier to eat well when you think of food simply as something your body needs, and that it's often worth the extra effort to make it taste good, especially when you understand how to connect "things your body needs" with "things that taste good"

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

And why? Cultural norms? Personal schedule? “Cause I’m always late to everything��?

Bonus points: Region and/or ethnicity?

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
