every time Oda retells Rodgers last moments the crocomom theory continues to gain traction and im so ready for it to be proven right.

that would be the funniest way to piss off so many people, and im gonna pop champagne if it's ever confirmed just for the ha ha

Actually really instructive to see a movie that was 90% there. Needed a bit more paring back of whats obvious, a bit more characterization of the harry character. Andrew and Paul brought specificities to the characters that the script couldn't. But overall insane acting, some genuinely affecting moments (not just my body's sympathetic reaction to seeing someone cry), beautifully shot

“major alenko, may i ask you a question?”

“sure, EDI. what’s up?”

“commander shepard; you seem to carry a deep affection for him. are you close?”

“we… we’re close, yeah. why?”

“you are considerably more concerned for his well-being in comparison to the rest of the crew. it is not my place to pry, but i thought it would alleviate some of your stress if i assured you that i am always prioritizing his safety. whether it is aboard the normandy or in the field, i will do my best to keep him from harm.”

“i… thank you, EDI. i appreciate it.”

god I love it when I get ideas for a story I'm working on right before I fall asleep, and then in the morning I re-examine them and they turn out to be fucking crazy

what do you mean the MC should get pregnant as a threat.

I've been running this blog for a little on and off, but I realize I never said why (besides the fact that it's funny to me).

part of the reason I run this blog is because I find lots of funny or potentially mis-leading panels while reading, and I like sharing them. I mean, who doesn't like Wally declaring his hatred for freedom of the press (link)?

But a big part of it is because it's very insanely easy to take something out of context from a comic and present it as something that happened, and people who don't read the comic will often just accept it, even if it was in a dream sequence, or completely different if you include the panels around it. like I definitely remember seeing some out of context Batman panels when I just browsed the internet, before reading comics, that presented the things that happened in them in a waaaaaaay different light than when I read the comics... and when I read them in context I was like "Huh so that's a lie".

Anyway there are so many panels like that floating around. That's also why I post the issue # underneath the comic I post out of context, so people who want to see the original (non jokey/intentionally disorted) context can see what was actually happening.

my boss texted me at 7:30 am with this important news

I have a lot of posts about how I liked the finale and it was not OOC, but that’s on a stance of consistency, not storytelling and meta narrative. The finale is consistent with their characters (except Punz but that’s a whole other rant). I think the ending was far from well written (because the dialogue was fucking improv on a time limit). It’s definitely not handled well on the meta, but I think it Makes Sense. I don’t defend the finale because I think it was great. I defend it because I see a lot of poorly interpreted takes or just straight up neg.

I think I’ve accidentally come off as a c!Dream apologist or a c!Tommy anti at first glance even though I’m quite literally the opposite of both if anyone actually reads my long form rants (because they are rants under the thin veil of analyses; I am just throwing words at a keyboard without any central idea). If given a gun, I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot c!Dream between the eyes, and I’m literally a cc!TommyInnit main. He is literally the only steamer/youtuber I watch regularly (anymore) despite being the kind of person who prefers to flitter through content topics rather than dedicate to a specific channel or streamer.

Criticism where criticism is due, and I love reading crit and neg and I agree with so much of it, but I’m not the kind of person to reiterate what other people are already saying. You can criticize the execution of the finale all you want and I Agree With You. It’s terribly executed! But I’m going to ignore the terrible execution and the unintentional framing because it’s been beat to death by now, so let me shove what I liked about it down everyone’s throat.

I don’t intake the DSMP from the perspective of someone expecting a professionally written story. I’m watching it knowing that this is an improv told by amateur storytellers, one of whom is literally a comedian and the other who has the self awareness of a very small dog.

I don’t expect a perfect execution, but I know it’s well meaning. I think people are so desperate to hate sometimes that they forget that the whole existence of the DSMP is out of a place of love and passion for the story they’re telling. It wouldn’t have gone on this long if it weren’t for a genuine love for what they do, and we have seen first hand how other projects die on so so many occasions.

I think the DSMP (especially Tommy and Dream’s finale) deserves to at least receive some praise for what the content creators intended rather just neg upon neg, a lot of which are by people who didn’t even watch the finale. There’s a whole section of the community who loved the ending when it was first streamed, but I didn’t see anyone else actually talking about why it was good other than “Staged Duo My Beloved” and “Tommy is a good person!” like YOURE ALSO MISSING THE POINT. THIS IS THE SAME BULLSHIT STEVEN UNIVERSE FANS PULLED.

Tommy was a flawed individual who was facing his abuser and his trauma right as he was at death’s door but Tommy Didn’t Forgive Dream For The Shit He Did. You don’t fucking forgive abusive power hungry narcissists for literally killing and torturing you. But y’all are so eager to go straight to Murder just because it’s an actual option, but in the DSMP, murder is still framed as a Very Bad Thing to do rather than just some unfavorable activity that people take part in. It’s just that there’s no consequence for commuting the Very Bad Thing other than the degradation of your morals (WHICH AGAIN EVERYONE IS MORALLY GREY AND I COULD GO ON A WHOLE RANT ABOUT TOMMY AND THE THEMATIC IMPORTANCE OF HIM NOT KILLING PEOPLE)

But the prison literally failed! So what do you do if both prison AND murder are off the table?? You move on. That’s what you fucking do. You pick the perpetrator up by the scruff of his neck, strip him of everything that gives him any power, give him a licensed therapist or seven, then put him behind a white picket fence in fucking Wyoming literally miles away from the nearest person, and you at least try to live your life.

Tommy literally couldn’t move on because he was haunted by the very Concept of Dream. Even if he picked up his bags and moved to the other side of the universe, he’d be haunted by the fear that Dream would find him somehow because that’s how paranoia works. Instead, Tommy chose to understand the cause of his Fear so that he could get some control over it, so that he could close his eyes for once and get some fucking sleep. Although this entire time he knew it was a futile effort because they’d be dying anyway, but for once in his goddamn life, he deserved to at least feel some relief from the heavy burden that was his self (although this was mostly everyone) perceived Crime Of Existing.

GIVE THE GUY A FUCKING BREAK.

ITS NOT FUCKING VICTIM BLAMING AND NO ONE IS FORGIVING DREAM EXCEPT THE BATSHIT CRAZY DREAM APOLOGISTS. NOT EVEN CC DREAM IS FORGIVING CDREAM BECAUSE CDREAM IS A PIECE OF SHIT THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ANY AUTHORITY OR NEAR CHILDREN.
