#i'm excited for s3 i might just collapse

[shynrinn]

Idc what anyone says but Good Omens S2 gave us Dagon and Michael in their slut era, the sluttiest they've ever been.

[pastafossa]

ahhhh this is just rambling but im so excited to see what you’re gonna do with season 3 especially since if Matt “dies” at the end of defenders then jane will still know that he’s alive bc of the thread (I think??) and I’m so excited for the ANGST

I'm also excited to get into S3! And I think I can say a little of why in terms of themes. Like yes it's going to be Paaaaaaaaaaain with a capital P but it's also an exciting dynamic to explore - for the most part, when pulling away has happened in TRT, it's been Jane pulling away from Matt, with him reacting to her retreat. This'll be the opposite, so we'll get to see how she handles being on the other side. It's honestly super important for their relationship to deal with that, specifically because this is Matt's trauma response both when he's hurt and when his self-loathing/depression is at its worst - he isolates, he pushes away, he retreats in on himself, he tries to self-sabotage and hack away at bonds because he becomes convinced that the only way his friends/loved ones will be happy is if he's out of their lives, on top of his dark thoughts of, 'they can't abandon me if I abandon them first'. Understanding that, and learning how to work through it, is essential for Jane and for having a stable, long-term relationship with Matt, and it's something we've only dealt gently with up until now (think him assuming she's leaving after he went out for the night after Nobu). Fortunately, pushing away and isolation is something she gets, so she's uniquely qualified to navigate this, to understand exactly what he's doing, because let's face it, despite the fact that it hurts, Matt is really fucking obvious about it. He just generally seems to hope that what he does will push someone away before they notice the puddle of blood he's standing in as he bleeds out. But as we know by now - Jane would crawl over broken glass just to stitch Matt up. So Matt's, 'Imma push her away' might not go the way everyone's thinking, no matter how much he tries.

I can't tell anyone just yet whether Jane will know he's alive, since that's our big WILL SHE??? thing everyone's wondering and that I want everyone to wonder. It's a BIG secret that I'm playing close to the vest, and something I'm building to - a bunch of clues, going all the way back to pre-chapter 20 (won't say where though) have already been laid for what's going to happen, although they don't look like clues just yet, and the pattern will likely only stand out on re-reads. All I'll say is two things designed to make everyone very nervous because I like making ya'll freak out. A. It sure would be a very simple fix if Jane could just go find Matt after the collapse via thread. And B: Ciro, chapter 132: "But things are rarely so simple for you."

tuesday again 1/10/2023

the more injuries and minor surgeries i pick up throughout my life i get more convinced i do actually play first person shooters as a power fantasy but not in the normal way. recovering ok, this was prescheduled and premeditated, just extremely tired

listening

are you havin any fun? this tony bennet version is good enough. the SINGULAR line "and nervous indigestion" has been stuck in my head since thursday.

reading

another pitch for Molly White's Web3 Is Going Just Great, bc HOO boy did a lot of shit happen last weekend. every crypto gaming project that folds feels like a personal gift to me. i did feel slightly insane last year bc the hype was so intense, everyone at my old job was fully bought in, and i got cited on two "performance reviews" for not being "excited enough" about crypto. anyway i hope my boss' two teslas explode.

watching

watched a ton of shit this week, including the entire run of the vampiric interview tv show, which i WILL have more coherent thoughts about later. what a horrible, messy, incredibly satisfying bit of television.

guillermo del toro's pinocchio made me fucking bawl my eyes out and i'm a little resentful of that. stupidly, stupidly beautiful film.

i'm here to talk about s/tar wars the bad b/atch, or at least the second season's first two episodes.

the whitewashing and general racism around the clones has been a problem since attack of the clones but has really only gotten worse with time and is especially bad in this outing of the franchise. i'm not super qualified to talk about this, but i think @unwhitewashthebadbatch is a good starting point.

my biggest storytelling beef is that it feels very much like a DnD campaign that is trying to be a blades in the dark campaign. the format and tone aren't quite right. this show neither focuses on the immediacies of survival right after the republic's collapse, nor where the Bad Batch are trying to fit themselves into a new world, and it really suffers for it. there's almost nothing about parenthood (bc Omega is still tagging along on missions, and she is still twelve). i still don't really know the story this show is trying to tell, but am forced to conclude that a weekly show for children about guys who can do some sick flips is not the correct medium since i still don't fucking know what story this show is trying to tell.

there are eight products on shopDisney for this show and two of them are on clearance. i do not anticipate this series will be renewed past s3. apparently according to some advance reviewers this picks the fuck up after the midpoint of the season but i'm not holding my breath.

production wise, the backgrounds and lighting have gotten way better, they've really leaned into a luminous sort of matte painting that doesn't always pretend to have depth. i like how the rocky set in the second episode feels very much like a live-action limited-budget set. looks very much like a soundstage but animated, and i think that's oddly charming. i do like the location we visited in e2, wish we got to see more of it or talk really at all about the significance of the location. like. we have a literal castle chase and we don't talk about the castle At All. come ON.

one of the few canon trans characters in star wars deserves a better show with more coherent storytelling. love star wars! wish it was good.

playing

largely fallow week. shouts out to the app Flick Solitaire bc i played through a hundred and fifty levels in the past few days

making

some knitting problems i have to mull over before i post, bc i created an entire kerchief thing in a percocet haze but am unhappy with the finish. we shall see! might frog it but i'll post about it before i do

[lightasthesun]

rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and interests you and i’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it!

tagged by @katierosefun and @soplantyourownflowers — ahhhhh thank you sm for tagging me in this!! I'm literally soo excited and I would love to scream about any of these.

Most of the WIPs are still untitled because I either know the title right at the start or not til the very end. Also these are the ones I'm mostly working on rn because this post would get hella long if I listed all my 27-ish ideas..

Jedi shadow!Ahsoka — (Multichapter fic) canon-divergence of S5 in which Ahsokas trial goes slightly different, she's knighted and the council assigns her to a top secret mission with Quinlan Vos. Rako Hardeen inspired because there might be a death/alive mix-up.

Sith!Ahsoka — (Multichapter fic) s5 canon-divergence where Ahsoka got kidnapped, handed over to the sith, tortured and manipulated after leaving the Order and it results in her fall to the darkside. Just a fic about Ahsoka being deliciously evil and not giving a flying fxk about what anyone tells her to do. But don't misunderstand, this is going to be really dark. (purely self-indulgent because I wanted to read and write smth sinister)

the ghost of you keeps me awake: Rebels/s3— (Multichapter fic) aka Darth Vader makes a different choice and gets a spiritual therapist.

"I won't leave you not this time", she said and she doesn't.

When the sith temple collapses with both Ahsoka Tano and Darth Vader still inside, she extends her hand to her former master one last time. He takes it and the Daughter makes her final move.

Order 66 AU — (Multichapter fic/multiple pov's) What if the chips malfunction a fraction of a second too late?

(the order is issued, the Clones shoot once, the chip fails, there are still wounded/dead Jedi+Clones. codywan and blyla, aftermath, healing)

Kinda fix-it but not really because there's still a war going on and no soldier ever really leaves a battlefield. Clone&Jedi relationships and lots of permanent injuries.

Children of Dathomir — (Multichapter) after falling through the wrong portal on Malachor Ahsoka ends up time traveling to Dathomir/ 50 BBY and promptly ends up with a child in her care. Or two? Or three? Or more... (aka Ahsoka adopts sith acolytes, crack idea but make it fix-it)

Mortis Timeloop — (Oneshot) Anakin Skywalker is stuck in a timeloop he doesn't know how to break.

How does he know it's a timeloop? Well, he watched his padawan die, again and again and again and he saved her just as many times. Perhaps Anakin does know how to escape the timeloop but he's unwilling to make the ultimate sacrifice. (temporary death fic)

Holding on and letting go — A sandstorm rages over Tatooine and Ben Kenobi is stuck in his homestead with no food or water except for some random cactus fruit he should probably keep his hands off of. (aka Obi-Wan drinks something he shouldn't and hallucinates about his biggest regrets.)

Lost Child — (Oneshot) s5 canon-divergence/ Anakin arrives too late to Ahsokas sentencing and without evidence of a confession from Barriss Offee. Ahsokas execution is set for dawn, the chancellor left the planet after the trial, the Jedi are unwilling to help and Anakin doesn't know what to do. (death fic)

what are your feelings towards octavia over the seasons? I've always been conflicted abt her but I liked her as the villain, and I gotta say I'm kind of excited to see how her story plays out. What's your opinion?

I thought she had potential in season 1. She was an open story that I might have liked. I didn’t love Linctavia. I’m not into the whole “kidnap a girlfriend” thing. Nor the whole romeo and juliet insta-love thing. I recognize it to be a classic romantic trope, it’s just not my thing.

I liked LInctavia better in s2 and 3 because it was a more healthy relationship.

Although s2 Octavia substituted learning to swordfight for character development, and that wasn’t enough for me. She was just the badass female without growing up. 

It turns out I think the writers kind of did that on purpose, because her identity was based on a tripod of Bellamy, Lincoln, and Octavia. Like she didn’t really exist without them. So when Lincoln died and she turned on Bellamy she fell apart.

I didn’t like her in s3. Her immature judgmental nature was heightened, and she condemned both Bellamy and Clarke pretty freely. As well as the arkers, while letting the grounders off scott free for anything they’d done. It was annoying. Then when she lost it, and took it out on Bellamy…. that made sense to me. It wasn’t good but it made sense with the character. I always said that she wasn’t an abuser, but she was in crisis and had the potential to become an absuser.

I’d always thought of Octavia as a feral panther who had been raised in a cage. Once let free, she really didn’t know how to exist, but she was full of rage. That’s who she became. 

So season 4, when she was lashing out, and out of control, but still couldn’t help from saving her people, the people she hated, that made sense too. She has a heroic character, but she was collapsing in on herself. When she stopped lashing out at others, she became suicidal, then she gave up that and was called back to fight again in the conclave. She was a hero. 

And in season 5, The Red Queen actually shows us that she was beginning to heal. Sparring with Miller, making wise decisions, wanting to LIVE. But when the bunker went into crisis, she was forced to do evil things. And then she felt the need to continue with her harsh decisions in order to make that worth while. She didn’t make up for the bad things, she doubled down to PROVE them right. For sure that ended up destroying her, the way it was destroying Clarke. 

I liked her as the tyrant, as the villain. I liked that she was hardcore evil. I thought we’d see some scenes of honest redemption, but instead we had her attempting to sacrifice her life for her people, for Bellamy, and it’s funny, because I saw that they were setting Octavia up to be martyred for the cause, for a kind of cheap version of Lincoln’s martyrdom, but instead, the yoinked her death from her, and NOW she has to EARN a redemption, the way Bellamy did. By thinking about what she did, making better decisions, making amends, and changing the world. She spent all that time judging Clarke and Bellamy and now she’s walking in their shoes.

And I think that’s marvelous. I am actually looking forward to Octavia’s story arc for the first time ever. I want to see her as a character who has ACTUAL character development instead of just teen tantrums.
