Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.

Kamala 2024!

If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.

But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.

710 felt like a collective fan fiction of S19 by the writers. Maybe this was the finale they deserved and 709 was that for the fans (at least it was to me, personally). Maybe the scenes could work as flash forward scenes after the fire, but maybe not during? It took me out of it.

As a fan, I wished that it might have been something like that…

The cliffhanger for Marina actually paid off. That Carina going back to the scene meant seeing Maya. Like we speculated about Maya collapsing when Carina was about to break the news then she resuscitated Maya. Another missed emotional scene we could have had. The foreshadowing of the focus on the 2 pregnancy test kits could have been a scene in the actual delivery room, seeing the twins. Maybe Andy was even present after that conversation. Or Mama Bishop.

Maybe we see Carina opening her clinic… Maybe Maya became a captain at another station and she met up with Andy and talked about their stations, how they wanted to run 19 together… Maybe she brought Liam along, cos we haven’t really seen him with Tia Andy… Maybe even a guy at the next table at the cafe was smiling at Andy, suggesting the start of something… (I was thinking of the conversation of one of the first episodes when they were outdoors and Maya was jogging…). Kinda a nod to where they started…

Ben would be back on GA so that’s ok… I was thinking maybe we see Jack with Marsha, his foster sister and his bio siblings… to at least complete his arc about his found family and show something about his life after being an active firefighter.

The ending for Vic and Travis felt right for me. Seeing Dean was a nice tribute to his character and a full circle moment for their friendship and a program that he started. The museum scene could even be the actual flash forward where we see Travis with Dominic. Vic needed something fresh that excited her and she could continue to do what she was good at. Travis finally moved on to be in a stable relationship, but not without his bff. Moving out of the house he shared with Michael and out of the city with so much grief felt right for him too.

Tully's wedding, Tully doing something for the veterans, Jinny getting together with Beckett, Theo working as fire inspector could also work in the montage.

Maybe they all meet up sometime in the future and they caught up with one another, ending with them all smiling…

Which do you prefer, Super Sentai or Kamen Rider?

that can...really depend on what the current series are. :') but I think overall I'm more into Rider! Sentai tends to be more consistent quality-wise, but Rider has much more variety in terms of narrative structure and what it tries to do, if that makes sense. not necessarily in terms of theme, but in, like, story beats and pacing and character arcs and things like that. it doesn't always hit (and when it's bad, it's...pretty bad) (stares straight off into middle distance) but usually it's at least making an earnest attempt at doing something interesting. and when it does hit, it hits.

they are both very close to my heart though! :> plus Sentai's been doing some serious shakeups to the formula with Donbros and Kingohger, which I'm very very into. lately it seems like they've been messing around with some of the foundational stuff of both franchises in an interesting way, and I'm excited to see where they go with them!

— Deleted Scene from SMALLVILLE, “Talisman” (3.20)

[alfhildr-the-word-weaver]

I got thinking too much about Marwa from What We Do in the Shadows again and how she was canonically making observations of Jupiter and Saturn in the 1200s. Then I thought about how Elena took Damon to go watch a meteor shower, and I decided that Marwa and Elena should get away from all the vampire drama B.S. in their lives and go nerd out about astronomy together, and this moodboard sort of happened. I also thought about how Elena becomes a doctor and went ah, they are both women in STEM! So I ran with that as a theme too.

But yeah, Marwa needs a friend who will actually support her interests and engage with her intellectually (no shade to Nadja and the Guide, I'm glad they had a fun weekend watching Mamma Mia together which was literally the only time we got to actually see Marwa happy onscreen, but they have never demonstrated much interest in science that I can recall and I want Marwa to have an astronomy buddy), and I think Elena would be fascinated by her and her perspectives on astronomy from centuries ago, and they could learn about modern astronomical advances together. If I find the time and energy I might even write fic about it, but for now, here is a moodboard so that we can all bask in the vibes of my beautiful crossover vision together.

Every time I think about how the Fortuneteller didn't see any love in Aang's future I need a second. Obviously, the message was that these things aren't set in stone and that he can actively shape his own destiny. But coupled with the (mis)fortune about the "great battle that will determine the fate of the world" it always made think they were hinting at the possibility that Aang... might not make it. That the reason there is no love to be seen in his future is because, well. His future ends very, very soon. And that idea always made me very upset on his behalf.

Dumb ramble but I hate that you can't critique The Thing you love within a fandom space without some dude breathing down your neck like "Well actually that means you hate The Author and The Thing! And what about all the times The Author did this Good Thing? Checkmate, liberal." as if you can't be critical of something because you love it and want it to be better.

I just managed to get off mha hyperfixation

And now it's happening again... Oh no

Helps with upcoming MHUI LoV event tho, it was a long time since last one happened I wonder what would happen in a new filler story part

Basically this and couple of pages of mid-final arc chapters + recent episode and next one being The Dabi episode was just too much not to get excited again

But! Important thing - I need to reread the last arc before I make anything new, if possible without finishing it to the 419 chapter and everything after, it took 2 months to really recover from the damage that chapter did

Anyway am I ready for the new event? Kinda! Do I have enough gems to get new Tomura? No! I'm not sure he'll even show up this time, because other ones were and still are really stubborn

Also Steampunk recruit took like 120 pulls in a step-up recruit and in the usual one combined

Not the best time to get LoV involved, it's cruel even

Also that one part of the page I added at the beginning was so interesting to look at and them I joked about 236 being similar. The only good thing with final arc being over is that I can say that Izuku didn't draw the parallel of seeing everyone hurt and seeing Tenko react on Mon's death

Understandable why, but it's funny to just look at them and be like, "wow Horikoshi traumatized them both"

Started the 2nd LotR book, and Legolas feels so much more elvish than in the movies. He's in this weird state where he feels both familiar and otherworldly, which I didn't really get from the movies. I always liked him, but now I vibe with his character even more.

some of you never grew up in a small conservative town as a (gay) nerd that was bullied, harassed, and excluded for years on end for not fitting in and for visibly and enthusiastically liking geek things—geek things that then branded you a satanist in everyone's eyes and as something Other, Lesser, and Undoubtedly Unworthy of Basic Human Decency even though you were literally just an actual child with harmless interests and not a satanist or an evil disgusting subhuman thing, and it shows.

you cannot apply modern views and beliefs to a show that is set in the eighties, especially not when it's set in conservative midwest eighties which is a whole other beast. being a socially awkward and nonconforming geek is something that people STILL get bullied for if you don't do it in a way that the majority deems "acceptable", especially if you live in a conservative, religious area.

your experiences are not universal and your inability to relate to a certain motif or story does not make it "lesser" or "bad writing."
