#if the tv shows are canon to each other

You know what, since House of the Dragon established House Velaryon as black, the Conquerors should be mixed race, since their mother is Velaryon

I don’t want more queer bait i want more non-sexual intimacy!!! I get that streaming lets you have sex scenes but please for the love of god this isn’t Shameless put your cock away! House MD was able to portray one of the most heartbreaking will-they-won’t they relationships I’ve ever seen and they never kissed! Same with Hannibal and Community! Please bring back slow-burn and longer shows! Only recent thing I watched where I was satisfied with the level of “queer bait” was Deadpool and Wolverine. Bring back non-sexual romcoms or choreograph sex scenes to not look like porn please.

I’m patient with PJO show fans that haven’t read the books. I really am. Getting to experience the story for the first time is great and I want to encourage them to get into my favorite fandom I’ve ever been a part of.

But I’m going to lose it if I see another “Percy and Annabeth are related! 😱😱😱” post.

No they’re not go read the books 🙄

Bucktommy bones this, b*mmy that, plot device this, Oliver hates that…

Nobody cares, guys. The cast and crew do their job and go home with a bag. We’re the only ones obsessing over any of this. Like what you like. Ship whoever you ship. Just know that at the end of the day Tim isn’t taking requests from @buddie7765 or @bikinley118. He. Doesn’t. Care.

What’s being said and done online between us doesn’t matter at all, babes. They’re not checking for us!!! We’re a minority compared to the show’s main audience!! And the only time they do take you into consideration is for media coverage because they know some of you are chronically online losers (semi affectionate???)

You’re surrounded by disgruntled idiots and bitter naysayers, and it’s hard to ignore their delusional rants. I know It’s exhausting, I promise you i get it, but stop allowing them to ruin your experience. Stop replying. Block them. Report them. Stop feeding the nonsense and negativity. Stop spreading their comments and remarks.

I mean, what happened to fun?? Do we not want to have fun anymore?!?

MERTHUR WEEK 2022 | DAY 2 For the prompts “What does Merthur represent to you?” and “Orange”

[166hours]

I am STILL seeing people (mainly on TikTok) complain about Percabeth developing too quickly in the PJO show… I am begging y’all to reread the books.

In the 2011 article where Professor Schaverien publically debuts her concept of boarding school syndrome she has this fucking line, “For the first time in their life the child may be in a situation where there is no intimate contact; no love,” which pulled the ripcord right out of my spine.

Roy’s potential trauma at boarding school isn’t just about the environment he was in but the home that he was deprived of.  Roy was nine years old and there was nobody around him who loved him.

His grandfather’s death wasn’t just a tragedy.  It wasn’t just being deprived of anymore time with him or a lack of closure from being unable to say good-bye.  It was the Kent family losing an adult man who could drive and had a car.

When Roy was sent away his parents would have understood that Roy’s grandfather was going to be around to help.  He could visit Roy himself or he could take over childcare duties for Roy’s sister, so that Roy’s parent’s could make the trip.

Then there is the extra financial and scheduling flexibility that is inherent of an additional adult.  Working, retired, it doesn’t matter.  There was one more person in the family whose job it was to help take care of everyone, and by extension Roy.

Now Roy’s family is not only dealing with grief and arrangements, it might now be impossible for there to be frequent subsequent visits from the family.  It could have been very hard for Roy to make it home for the funeral.  Roy might have missed holiday’s he expected to be at home because there was no one to provide transportation.

Roy spending so much time with Phoebe may be a commitment made in deliberate response to the trauma of this event.  Phoebe is six in season one, so by season three she’s almost at the age Roy was when he went away.  Roy might find it incredibly important that he and his sister are able to provide Phoebe a childhood with not only financial security, but adults that are physically present in her life who do not have to send her away. 

From the subplot of Roy smothering Keeley, we know that Roy’s expresses  affection by being physically present with his loved ones.  He has no innate grasp that people can max out on time with the people he love.

He seems to experience a deep feeling of rejection at the idea that he would leave Keeley to go on vacation without her, as opposed to spending his time at home even if only one of them is not working.

I always stumbled at how strongly Roy reacted to Keeley suggesting he vacation by himself, especially after how easily he suggested canceling the entire thing.  I think Keeley, after being the one to push Roy towards punditry, was trying to give him permission and encouragement to do things for himself.  This is something that she herself has often needed.

But I think Roy’s takeaway emotionally was that Keeley was proposing, essentially, that it would be relaxing for Roy to abandon his girlfriend,  and that she herself was unbothered by the idea of their separation.

The entirety of his latest plotline is a showcase of the depths he will go to in order to avoid being left.  He broke up with Chelsea and Keeley.  He categorically cannot risk giving that which he cares about the chance to leave him first.

just watched the new episodes of arcane.....

[poughkeepsies]

my beloved mutuals you are all doing yourselves a disservice by not giving kdramas and cdramas a chance. there's literally a show where a ghost king and the ex-leader of a spy organization who has three years left to live become so immediately obsessed with each other upon meeting that they adopt each other's adopted children and live together as a family. at one point the ex-spy leader gets tortured with meat hooks. he's such a pillow princess the ghost king threatens to leave him cause he keeps not doing any of the household chores. they keep selling their souls for each other. there's an entire political plot going on in the background with the stakes to tear down their world as they know and they just don't fucking care. they call each other their soulmate and there's an entire scene where all they do is look into each other's eyes and repeatedly say the other's name because it's good to have someone to call. chinese censorship doesn't allow them to be more explicit because showing gay people on tv is fucking illegal so they mouth "ai ni" which means "I love you" without audio instead. they're the ultimate battlefield couple. they're the biggest bastards in the world. they're childhood friends. they're immortal nightmares.

[authenticaussie]

SORRY BUT LOOK AT THEM. OK?

[fatherramiro]

for someone who doesn't think there should ever be a tv show that adapts baldur's gate 3, i sure do spend a lot of time thinking about how one could successfully adapt bg3 into a tv show

should i just give up and write my master plan out as a full fanfic at this point?

[lurafita]

While I can understand where OP is coming from (because God knows that I'm in the same kind of agnoy where Peter Parker is concerned and people who only know him from the MCU),

I believe that it is important to understand and respect that different people like different things, and that no one version of a character or a universe should be seen as superior to others.

I like to think of the show as a visualized "what if" canon divergent fanfiction. And while I can rant on and on about how many details and explanations in the show's canon are just not given, and how I would have liked more background info for Magnus especially (because his history must be so rich!), I can't say that I have any interest in the books.

I like that Alec is taller than Magnus

I love that Magnus is portrayed by Harry Shum Jr.

I am so, fucking, unbelievably, immesurably glad that they didn't do a secret relationship for Malec in the show. I HATE secret relationship plots.

I like that the characters are aged up.

I like that Alec has brown eyes instead of blue. Everyone always idolizes blue eyes so much, while brown is seen as so boring. I love how warm brown eyes are. How deep they seem.

I love Madzie.

I like that it has not been established that Alec will never become immortal. I can't stomach the thought of Magnus having to bury his husband. And any kids that they might have in the future. I can't think of him going through that. My headcanon is that Alec will become immortal, purely out of love for his husband, because he can't bear to be yet another person who will leave Magnus.

I like that there was no war. I like that the show didn't kill a kid character. I like that this gives me the opportunity to think up all kinds of headcanons for young Max being a prankster and how his relationship with his warlock brother in law developes as well.

I like that they didn't kill Raphael.

I like that the show stopped before they got to the rumored evil!Magnus arc.

I like that I am free to imagine what comes after for Magnus and Alec.

I like that I'm not tied to either canon, but am free to imagine everything and anything I want for them.

I like that ao3 has a feature that makes me exclude tags that I don't want to read about, like "book canon", or "secret relationship", or "blue-eyed Alec".

I like that people have book canon, and tv-show canon, and movie canon, and are free to pick and choose and create a narrative, a plot, a world that fits their own desire.

I like that, even the things I don't like, even the things that frustrate me, are there. To inspire and tease and challenge the fandom into greater and greater numbers of fandom content.

And lastely, I like that people are free to vent their frustration in a way which is safe, like this post. That gives them a place and a means to shout when they need to, and fuel discussion if they want to, and find like minded people who think the same as they do.

I hope every Malec fan has a wonderful fandom experience and a great rest of the week.

i truly hate the show bc YOU GUYS DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE MISSING WHEN YOU WATCH THE SHOW BEFORE READING THE BOOKS

you dont know that magnus’ magic is the same striking blue as alec’s eyes

you dont know alec’s eyes are the same color as the ancestors of a family so intertwined with his

you don’t know that magnus sees ghosts in the blue of alec’s eyes

you don’t know magnus is two inches taller than alec

you dont know that alec loves that magnus is taller than him

you don’t know that they dated in secret for months

you dont know alec’s wardrobe is absolutely hopeless and he only wears years old worn out sweaters with holes in the cuffs and magnus loves it

you dont know that sometimes magnus wears his worn out sweaters

you dont know that they didnt get married for years until alec became consul and they could get married in warlock blue and shadowhunter gold under his new law

you dont know they have two kids, before they ever married

you dont know their first son is named after alec’s brother max, who actually died during the war

you dont know that max’s skin is blue, and his eyes are just a shade darker than alec’s

you dont know that alec loved one man so much he changed the world for him

NEW VEGAS CONFIRMED STILL CANON??????????????????????

Getting into a ship only to discover that it’s a form of rarepair (there’s well over 900 fics BUT almost every single one I’ve seen (so far) has it as a side ship and is primarily about the more popular mlm ships)
