[randomidiocyncrazies]

kamen rider ship of your choice?

oh man i've somehow missed this, sorry! Kamen Rider... there are So Many to choose from!! uhhhhh Philip/Shoutaro KRW and Kazumi/Gen-chan KRBuild

Philip/Shoutaro

• when or if I started shipping it

the intro lmao

on a slightly more serious note, the casino arc sorta coalesced the burgeoning ship feels, and it just got more intense as the show went on

• my thoughts

okay okay okay the first time i saw them + their fusion gimmick in the crossover movie with Fourze and OOO? i was sold on the premise of W immediately.

the dynamic of ‘dude who cares A Lot trying to be a hardboiled tough guy’ and ‘well-meaning but KY genius with hyperfixation’ is just top tier stuff, they compliment each other’s strengths and weaknesses really well?? also they both have impeccable fashion sense but in like. divergent directions.

also the opening ships it hard. “It’s not a dream I can reach alone, if it’s with you we can make it so [...] Two bodies and souls in one (I’ll ride with you and no one else)! When I meet my ultimate partner, a miracle will happen” like. COME ON

• What makes me happy about them

god damn they love each other SO MUCH!!! we get to see their partnership develop through these 49 eps, and sure they screw up from time to time, but they are a unit!!!

i’m also grateful there’s so much content and subtext (that might as well be text given how blatant it is) for the ship in the show

• What makes me sad about them

i guess that year of [SPOILERS]... i get teary just thinking about ep 48 

and that Philip’s actor is now too busy (uninterested?) for W cameo appearances

• things done in art/fic that annoys me

i don’t think i’ve really read or saw any fan content that rubbed me the wrong way...? i don’t really read much KR fic tho, so maybe I just haven’t found it yet

i guess uh excessively horny content is a Big No for me, tho i don’t think i’ve seen any aside from official sequel Fuuto Detectives, where het tex horny content is through the goddamn roof

• things I look for in art/fic

resolving emotional tension after [SPOILER], also something that gives more depth to Philip’s family and his situation? and of course they gotta include best girl Akiko 

i also really like it when Philip’s approach to romance/intimacy is maybe slightly academic but not weirdly depersonalized or detached?? idk how to articulate it

• Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other

“Two bodies and souls in one, I’ll ride with you and no one else” once you ride with the devil it’s a partnership for life babey!!!

• My happily ever after for them

Solving cases in Fuuto and babysitting for Akiko and Accel. just... being the best guardians to their beloved city

• what is their favorite non-sexual activity?

this is so sappy but i feel like they’re the kind of couple that likes to chill in the same vicinity—they’re doing their own thing in a shared space and taking comfort in the promise of proximity and the radiation of each other’s presence. with the mind link they don’t need to be near to know the other is around, but I imagine the physical closeness would be comforting after [SPOILERS]

so yeah, staying near each other in the same room is their favorite activity i guess

Grease/Rogue

• when or if I started shipping it

it wasn’t really until after grease confronted croc man with his role in akaba's death that i got invested

• my thoughts

OKAY i resisted for a while because Rogue killed Akaba, and I couldn't quite wrap my head around them moving past that... then they had the ultimatum showdown at the 3 Crows' grave markers, complete with the two of them addressing that issue, and the rest is history

also this applies more in the new world, but they're both in leadership positions who wanted to (at least initially) take care of people who rely on them (croc man got uh influenced by mars gas but! he seemed genuine in the past and in the new world about serving the interests of his people) and the dynamic of that has a lot of potential—leadership through a more homey/familial structure compared to leadership of a system/social institution

• What makes me happy about them

have i mentioned how much i like bickering dumbasses who are ride or die for each other?? that madcap scheme to raise their hazard levels is some top tier stuff

• What makes me sad about them

they dead 😢

I mean their new world selves survive but. y'know.

• things done in art/fic that annoys me

the fact that there's scarcely any content for them 😔😔😔

• things I look for in art/fic

1. new world content (the 3 crows play wingman to varying degrees of success),

2. new world content specifically involving agriculture/farming policies and general politics,

3. missing scenes in the og timeline after croc man joins the team, just hanging out and shooting the shit together, slice-of-life moments betweeen all the heroics

• Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other

uhhh idk but definitely NOT sawa and misora, they were pretty creepy towards the gals

• My happily ever after for them

in the new world they probably meet when Mr Prime Minister’s Son tours the countryside to find out more about what the govt can do to help people etc, and there's this instant irritation/familiarity when he meets the proprietor of the Sawatari Farm... they settle down eventually but not before they've done what they could to improve ppl's situations in their respective fields

• what is their favorite non-sexual activity?

BICKERING!! and cooking i guess—gotta put those fresh farm produce to good use! (honestly bickering is the default in their interactions. they will never not bicker)

Thanks for the ask! (and i'll be up for some more Qs in the same vein :V)

House MD season 2

30 second episode recaps from someone whos just watched em for the first time and has bad recall

Ep1: they gotta cure the death row dude so he can go back to death row to b killed, cameron is Bad at telling ppl they're dying, house n Wilson had lunch with the coma guy, they cured death row man, also they changed the theme and I hate it Ep2: House has hayfever lmao, this cancer girl with hallucinations is honestly just the coolest she's so positive I love her, shes nine and got chase to kiss her hero,, house an Wilson have a shared balcony amazing, Wilson is so good and pure and is amazing at his job holy shit I love this man. House actually 'temporarily killed' the patient to cure her and made people run drills on a dead man. House is 400% going to buy a motorbike Ep3: i prayed for Cuddy's handyman to fall off her roof past the window and then god answered my prayers and he did, house broke into Cuddy's house mainly to look at her underwear lbr and then won the 'can we chop off his arm' argument, house secretly speaks spanish and waited for the most dramatic moment to reveal this, they gate crashed a cock fight (ayy) and saved the patient Ep4: the patient is a doctor with an ego ((according to house lmao pot, kettle)) who wanted to sit in on the diagnostic process and honestly is actually full of himself,, house puts him on a tippy table and cranks it up, foreman made a patient cry except he was pretending to be house lmao house got in shit,, Cameron needs to stop please, can the patient get his head out his arse please. house gatecrashes the press conference that the patient called and managed to put him into cardiac arrest on live television and eventually cured him of everything cept bein a knob Ep5: Wilson's handwriting is such doctor handwriting and house definitely bought a motorbike and made Wilson pay for it he's so pleased with himself. The kid keeps getting electrocuted but like,, by his own body. House is avoiding his parents but Cameron n Wilson aren't letting him get away with it. I love house n Wilson's friendship so much it's worth 5k apparently lmao. These patients are fukin serial liars jc why are ppl like this, it was rADIATION wow houses dad is a fucking DICK. There were so many good interactions and the house/wilson ship is sailing Ep6: there was a cyclist who took a LOT of drugs which turned out to be curing him of the thing he had, house is a douchebag but we all knew that - he may b a dick to mark but m sure mark deserves it n I love him anyway. Wilson remains a sweet boy even if he cheats idgaf he's adorable look at him ((wilson: i net someone who made me feel funny, me: was it hOUSE)),, he n house are balcony buddies and house shud stop stealing his food, and he should definitely stop digging thru stacys life but actually fuck it why not he's not gunna let go of this why is she so pissy i wanna know Ep7: I love houses new pet rat Steve McQueen,, Wilson is 4000% done with houses Stacy related antics which is fair tbh he should stop but I actually don't give much of a shit about Stacy I've taken against her....he did deserve what she said after reading her file tho. The patient may have given Cameron aids and Cameron got high and slept with Chase, who she may have given aids lmao these ppl r messes but not as much of a mess as that father/son relationship jc...i dont remember anything else about the patient whoops Ep8: chase is being suuuueeeeddd and he keeps lying about why lmao,, house fuckin reamed him one which was probably called for but maybe not like that, turns out chase screwed up cus his dad died and foreman is houses boss ((supervisor)) now how well do u think that's gunna work (((not very))) Stacy's still a bitch and has ~~feelings~~ Ep9: foreman is in charge and house is doing his utmost best to be the dick of the year and it's fucking hilarious honestly I love this man the shit he pulls jc,,, Wilson is super aware of houses antics as usual and had a mild gay panic when foreman started to question him about house,, the patient was a big ol Faker™ but surprise surprise she was actually sick this time ((house totally injected her with a load of stuff so she’d b readmitted after they’s released her)) Ep10: house solved a case thru the phone alone and spent most of the ep at the airport except for those five minutes when he almost slept with Stacy who once had a terrible experience with curry apparently and called house a vindaloo, nice restraint very well timed phone call thank fuck,,, they will sleep together tho and I am Not Happy about it....the power play amongst the fellows is a boiling pot of trouble - the patient was v interesting I enjoyed the word scramble game Ep12: WHAT A GOOD FUCKIN EP so the patient orgasmed in the white chamber while unconscious and covered in burns but more importantly house gatecrashed the lecture of his old archenemy that he had arranged just so he could disturb it and criticise the dude who got him thrown out of med school for snitchin on his cheating all whilst Wilson told him to get better hobbies (('a hooker anything please')),, to test this dudes migraine meds he gave deliberately himself a migraine and the meds didn't work (unsurprising) so the fellows turned out all the lights while he had a nap under the table,, wilson took a diff approach and deliberately made a Lot of noise because he is a Shit even if he hides it better than house,,,, then house dropped a tab of acid and took a bunch of antidepressants, and cured his migraine as well as the patient Ep13: houses leg was super duper sore but at least we got some fantastic house/wilson interaction when wilson pretended to be God during that MRI, even if house hit him with a cane.... The patient was a teen supermodel who seduced her own father to get whatever she wanted,, house was super sure she had cancer and it turns out she did but it was testicular because she had xy chromosomes and was immune to testosterone - which was really fucking interesting...... Also cuddy played house like a violin and gave him placebo saline instead of a morphine shot to prove to him that his leg pain was psychological Ep14: House is stealing organs now. Ok so technically he did get the husband's permission to steal his newly dead wife’s heart for the dying old dude with a strangely young daughter but only after he kneed house in the balls super hard. House spent the whole ep goin on at wilson about the affair he thought he was having and at the end wilson showed up on houses doorstep but sURPRIse !! It was his wife who was sleeping around!! poor baby Wilson I know what goes around comes around but he's such a kicked puppy cmon Ep15: Wilson and house living together is a recipe for disaster and I'm living for it so good so many good interactions I love that house is gunna keep him for his food ((I'll never b over house hearing the voicemail about Wilson's new place, looking over at him sleeping on the couch and then deleting it so he has to stay)). The patient had a super cool marriage and didn't have lupus except whoops actually not a happy marriage his wife is tryna kill him thru gold poisoning. House needs to stop accosting ppl in bathrooms and should also stop destroying marriages Ep16: oh man good shit so,, first of all house n Wilson are still living together and there are some Domestic Antics happening right here including but not limited to a prank war which house desperately tried to get Wilson to participate in, the peak of which had house making Wilson wet the couch and Wilson sabotaging houses cane. The patients mum was ridiculously overprotective and house essentially kidnapped the patient to find the tick noone else thought was there,, surprisingly Wilson helped set that up despite the fact house was the reason he woke up wet that morning Ep17: first things first house could absolutely clean everyone out at poker if he knows Cuddy's tells that well through just a phonecall,, also he needs to stop calling Wilson out on his toenail varnish habits lmao. The patient was a smol boy who presented the same symptoms as an unsolved and dead case that house had 12 yrs ago so he really wasn't gunna let this one go cus he's like a dog with a bone. They were in formal wear all ep which was a Good Look™ and Wilson's retelling of how he won the poker championship may have been one of the cutest things I have ever seen Ep18: Emma from Glee is here and she has the black plague,, her gf decided to donate her liver n Cameron was all het up cus house had worked out plague girl was gunna leave her and sending the gf in blind would be ~~unethical~~ but turns out she knew and deliberately did that so Emma would stay with her out of guilt lmao. In other news Cameron's pissy cus foreman 'stole' her article and house spent most of the episode napping cus wilson is fuckin up his sleep cycle ;) I'm upset there was no physical wilson Ep19: the most annoying patient so far appears in the form of a 15 yr old faith healer with herpes. I feel like the degree to which unrelenting niceness irritates me rly says something about me but eh oh well. Chase (ofc it was chase) kept a tally on who was winning God or house, faith healer managed to shrink a womans cancer tumour through giving her herpes (((a miracle praise be))) and during poker night house called wilson out on sleeping with said cancer patient and discovered wilson was actually living with her whoops bad Wilson ((he totally regrets his life choices ((he should)))) Ep20: HOLY SHIT ITS A TWOPARTER AND FOREMANS GUNNA DIE !! Ok so,,, there was this cop who couldn't stop laughing till he could but then it got a lot worse and then foreman caught whatever it was which they began to realise when he smirked as house shot a corpse to see what a bullet in a brain would do to an MRI ((spoilers it broke the machine)) anyway long story short it wasnt the pigeons and the cops dead and foreman is gunna die even after that shitdick move he pulled where he stabbed Cameron with a needle so she'd go to the apartment Ep21: HOO BOY OK SO a lot happened so much happened the most important thing is foreman by the end of the ep is mostly kind of ok - he's just a bit muddled on his lefts n rights. During the ep house was stressed the entire time cus even tho he denys it he does love n care for his ducklings,, he even cares enough to deliberately attempt to poison Steve McQueen which didn't work but can be added to the list of stressful events. Cameron grew a spine a lil bit I literally yelled when she berated cuddy and she forced the biopsy cus foreman had the foresight (ayyyyy) to make her his medical proxy even if house managed to find the problem anyway so it was ultimately unnecessary and has just resulted in some possible brain damage Ep22: house keeps trying to pick a fight with foreman and failing because Foreman's all happy go lucky now, the patient was mad because of a thing and killed her baby accidentally on purpose, the music that played during the baby autopsy was super unnecessary and bizzare, and in the end the woman had cancer but she's refusing treatment cus of the baby guilt. Cuddy didn't have cancer, which we know because Wilson ((WILSON NOT HOUSE)) stole her dna and ran secret tests in the middle of the night, but it still wasn't a date Wilson despite what house said about skin lessions she was actually just going to attempt to use u as a sperm donor - have fun at the L-word marathon with house you big sad loser (I love u) Ep23: we meet an old house friend which is Super fun he is ridiculously naive and I love that he calls house g-man holy shit. House is now giving cuddy injections as part of a fertility treatment which is nice of him especially seeing as his leg was in a Lot of pain this ep,, like a LOT...he's self-injecting morphine now which is probably bad :/ house's friend's daughter was the patient at one point she pooped out her mouth gRoSs and house ran a paternity test n told the girl she was actually the dudes daughter ((except he was lYINg in support of his friend)) he does care Ep24: HOUSE GOT SHOT WHAT IS IT WITH THIS TEAM SUFFERING RN JC this was a very fun episode of 'guess when house is hallucinating', spoilers the answer is all the time the whole ep takes place in his head. That aside I absolutely loved the hospital gown/trainer combo (no I won't apologize) and the fact that house did almost none of his physio - instead relegating it to others which is....not how it works. The hallucinatory clinic patient was freaky deaky his eye exploded and so did his dick but dw cus to escape the hallucination house killed him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what can u do. At the end house woke up n requested ketamine we'll see how that goes

Season 1

[herotheshiro]

ok here to write an a3 opinion bc last time i aired my hot take on twitter i most likely got vagued abt so i’ll put it out here where i can’t find y’all’s vagues that easily lol. also tumblr is better for longer, rambling stuff anyway

i do like tsumugi a lot but like ... idk i think i’ve definitely cooled down on him since the first week or so when i started a3. and it’s mostly bc i tend to associate him w tasuku, and tasuku is like ... not good at expressing his feelings. and before i read act 4 in full i legit hated on tasuku fr bc i was so mad that he was so curt w tsumugi (sure sure i acknowledge both sides are at fault re: the mass miscommunications in that relationship but i was so surprised at how curt tasuku was when i had read all this stuff on twitter on how sweet tasuku was supposed to be towards tsumugi ! but alas doesn’t happen all the time). since finishing act 4 (more on this later) i realize tasuku prob means well but can’t verbalize it well sometimes but man it’s hard to completely get over your dislike for someone when it was previously so strong and also that’s psychology for you. but anyway bc i still have lingering dislike for tasuku and tsumugi is basically a tasuku apologist, the negativity gets put on him too whenever he’s like ‘ahaha tasuku means well !! :)” after a particularly harsh tasuku comment. i mean ik ppl can’t be positive and outwardly friendly like sakuya all the time and a3 needs a diverse range of personalities, but i tend to not particularly like stand-offish characters (see the characters i’ve most recently stanned: lance from voltron, jiro from hyp mic, kumon from a3. like my top 3 in a3 is kumon, tsumugi, and kazunari. you see the trend here)

another related aspect is that i have very strong feelings for tasutsumu as it was basically my first a3 ship but liber is not as consistent w their subtext as some other ships (i’m thinking sakyo/izumi and taiyuki here) so we only get scraps every so often ... as a result, there’s plenty of room for other ship subtext like tasuku/azuma which genuinely stresses me out like banri/tsumugi. the thing is i can easily write off banri/tsumugi bc i genuinely don’t think tsumugi would ever CONSIDER dating anyone significantly younger than him (so they’d have to be at least 20+ to tsumugi’s 24), like it wouldn’t even cross his mind even if banri flirted w him (also i have opinions on pairing the younger members (middle/high schoolers) w the older members (college to adult age) which is DON'T do that but i will refrain from going off here). but tasuku/azuma cannot be written off that easily bc it’s completely believable they’d date and yeah ik liber will never make any non-het ship canon but it still stresses me out man !! i was talking to my sis recently abt what would happen hypothetically if tasuku/azuma started dating and she was like ‘yeah it makes me sad bc i think tsumugi would legit become depressed’ and i’m like yeah bc it’s so heavily implied that tsumugi has feelings for tasuku that even if you didn't pair taks and tsumu up you'd still know that tsumu would be affected by tasuku/azuma somewhat. i mean i’m biased but i think tasuku and tsumugi make a great couple (even w all their bumps in the relationship road) so i'm like no @ any other tasuku/tsumugi pairing bc you know me and my monoshipping. also i'm weak to childhood friends pairings so ya

anyway was also reading some stuff on twitter abt how bad act 4 was written and remembering stuff i’ve also read before abt how bad tsumugi’s character is written (mainly bc his major developments are nearly 100% very closely tied to tasuku and so he doesn’t really have much of a personality of his own) and i’m like yeah that’s also partially why i’ve cooled down on tsumugi and winter troupe. i never particularly stanned winter troupe in the first place, but after the terrible writing job that was act 4 following the pretty well-written acts 2 and 3, i just can’t stan bad writing. and so i feel bad for tsumugi that he’s been cursed with all this and bc he has such low confidence he's just all "ahaha" at everything and i'm like 'please tsumugi. exert your confidence more...'

don't really have much of a finisher as i kind of rethought how i should approach winter troupe and its units while writing this but yeah i definitely don't feel as strongly abt tsumugi now as i did before. i mean i still lost it at the tsumugi valentine's unit announcement but ... idk. i definitely perceived tsumugi and tasuku differently starting out and canon doesn't super support my perceptions sometimes. i mean that's on me for delving so heavily into fanwork/thoughts before completely reading canon (for hyp mic i listened to most of the music and read the translations for official stuff and established my own opinions on the characters before looking at the fandom which i think helped a lot w how i consume hyp mic bc i'm someone who puts a lot of weight on others' opinions when i don't really have my own established lol) and i definitely should NOT be stressed out over fictional media like this but damn the hyperfixation popped out .... :(((
