have a little idea of a drabble if thatâs ok!
just. some squirreljessy fluff. maybe squirrelflight has had a fight with bramblestar, so jessy comforts her and then they decide to run away together?
this is such an old ask WAA when i was doing writing rqs in 2022 (i am no longer but) this one is for u anon *looks up at the sky* i started this almost 2 years ago and its not rlly done but I am all out of steam and am in no way a real writer so i just gave up this is what i got cw bad (i do not feel this vehemently abt anything here sorry i just got rlly into character LOL
âRun away with me, Squirrelflight.âÂ
Jessyâs meow was level, calm, as if the words she had just uttered were completely ordinary and not life-changing in the slightest.
Squirrelflight sputtered, choking on the mouse she had just settled down to eat.Â
âW-what?âÂ
The deputy was now acutely aware of the deafening silence all around her, occasionally broken by the occasional squawk of a bird or creak of a branch.Â
Unnerved, Squirrelflight suddenly wished for the comforting babble of her clanmates to fill the air, draining the tension from the too-quiet woods. But she knew none would come, the area they were in was a little more than a 10-minute walk from camp after all.
 It was just the two of them.Â
The dark ginger molly suddenly shifted uncomfortably as the air seemed to get heavier, the little patch of forest they were in seemingly more enclosed and less spacious by the minute. It was as if the whole territory was as shocked by Jessyâs words as Squirrelflight was.Â
The deputyâs partner had wheedled Squirrelflight for a moment alone all day, much to Bramblestar's chagrin. Squirrelflightâs former mate kept making up excuses for her to ignore Jessyâs request, sending Squirrelflight on errand after errand as if she were nothing but a misbehaving apprentice!
It made Squirrelflightâs claws itch and pelt prickle with frustration and she so longed to fire back at the brown tabby tomâs nonsensical demands, but she held her tongue, just this once. She wanted to meet with Jessy without being interrupted or hounded about undone checklists, thank you very much.Â
So she trudged along the obstacle course Bramblestar had purposefully set for her, completing task after task (which included elder den management, tick-removal, border re-marking, herb stockpiling, and fresh-kill charting) until she was finally finished with a good enough portion to be excused for personal time.Â
 Squirrelflight had quietly slipped away with a mouse in maw to meet her mate at their favorite spot in the territory: an old crooked oak tree with gnarled roots and a gaping hole beneath it big enough to house two full-grown cats. Squirrelflight had squeezed in, waiting for Jessy to meet her there.Â
She momentarily relived the burst of affection sheâd felt when sheâd seen the brown she-cat pad closer to her location.
Whatever Squirrelflight has been expecting Jessy to say, it had certainly not been this.Â
âYou heard me.â The brown kittypet snapped, leaning in closer to meet Squirrelflightâs bewildered green gaze.Â
âWe canât be happy here, love. Not with him around. Run away with me, Squirrelflight.âÂ
Squirrelflight gulped down the rest of her mouse, the prey dropping into her belly like a cold stone.Â
âI- he⊠I know Bramblestar can be a bit⊠difficult.âÂ
âA bit is an understatement.â Jessy unsheathed her claws with a growl.Â
âThe guyâs a total asshole, Squirrelflight. We both know it.âÂ
Squirrelflight flattened her ears.Â
Damn. Sheâs right.Â
âI know, Jessy.â Squirrelflight sighed. âI know that better than any cat. ButâŠâÂ
Jessy frowned.Â
âBut what? Youâve dealt with enough of his bullshit for a lifetime! Iâve only been here for a season and heâs already driving me crazy! I donât know how you put up with it for so long.â
Jessy lashed her tail, her claws kneading at the ground impatiently. Squirrelflight placed her white paw on the she-catâs shoulder, gazing at her with a silent plea. The mollyâs amber gaze softened for a heartbeat, melting into the warm honeyed kindness that Squirrelflight had fallen for, before hardening back into the stern amber the deputy also admired.Â
âPlease try to understand, Jessy. I canât just pick up and leave my clan out of the blue. I have responsibilities here.âÂ
An image of a lithe brown and white tabby flashed in Squirrelflightâs head, along with an elderly pale ginger molly and two younger toms.Â
Leafpool, Sandstorm, Lionblaze, Jayfeather.Â
Another vision crowded Squirrelflightâs mind, one of ThunderClan cats, big and small, hunting, patrolling, sharing tongues, and laughing as a group.Â
My family and my clanmates are both so precious to me. Oh how could I be so cruel as to leave them?Â
Squirrelflight closed her eyes, trying to choke back her rising distress at the thought of abandoning them all for her own desires.Â
They need me. It would be selfish to just walk out when Iâve dedicated my whole life to them.Â
âAre you thinking about your kin?â Jessyâs voice softened, her usual fire dimming.Â
Squirrelflight nodded, blinking. âAnd my clanmates. Oh, Jessy, I canât. I couldnât. How could I leave them all?âÂ
Jessy looked away, her gaze darkening.Â
âSquirrelâŠâ Jesseâs maw slowly closed.Â
Squirrelflight felt a rush of panic.
âItâs not that I donât love you, itâs just-â
âYour duty. I know, I know.â Jessy leaned over and brushed her muzzle against the deputyâs cheek.
âI just wish it could be easy.âÂ
 âI know Jessy, me too.â Squirrelflight sucked in a breath. âNo matter what I think of Bramblestar, my clan always comes first.â
âBut what about you?â Jessy burst out, bristling.Â
âWhy should you continue dealing with that whiny bastard just for the sake of another catâs wellbeing? Gah- what about your own?âÂ
Jessyâs teeth grinded and she let out an irritated hiss. Squirrelflight was pressed against her side in an instant, curling her bushy tail over her companionâs back as an attempt to soothe her nerves.Â
Jessy took a deep breath through her nose and let it out through her maw, the tension in her frame slowly softening. The brown molly sagged against the deputyâs side, her face pressing against Squirrelflightâs thick-furred shoulder.Â
âFeel better?â Squirrelflight offered, giving one of Jessyâs ears a quick lick.Â
âMmrgh⊠no.â Jessy grunted, lifting her head, her expression twisting into a deep frown.Â
âI love you so much, Squirrelflight. You know that right? So itâs absolutely infuriating to watch that rotten pile of manure treat you like a kitten whoâs wet behind the ears and not the capable pillar of ThunderClan I know you are.âÂ
Squirrelflight felt a deep purr rumble in her chest, words unable to express how thankful she was for her companions' support.Â
âOh Jessy, I love you too. Iâll have to consider it for a bit though. I hope you understand.âÂ
âOf course.â Jessy meowed, padding forward to affectionately bump foreheads with her.Â
âHey, I know I said a lot of shit alright, but this is your decision. I wonât force you to do anything, and whatever you decide, Iâll be fine. Donât pay any mind to my emotional blubbering, this is about you and what you're comfortable with. I can handle that fuzz-brained idiot myself, I was just concerned about how he affects you. I know itâs a huge thing to consider, with you having folks here and all and itâs reasonable to have doubts. Just know Iâll be with you through thick and thin, Squirrelflight.âÂ
Jessy pulled away, a twinkle in her amber eyes.
âNo matter what.âÂ
âThank you Jessy.â Squirrelflight grinned, suddenly feeling a rush of energy she hadnât felt since she was a young cat.Â
âNow⊠I think Iâd like to have a little chat with Bramblestar. I didnât appreciate how he made me his errand cat today.

why does so much of mel discourse on this site centre on to what measure she did or did not manipulate jayce like that's the extent of her complexity and grey morality, as if she has not directly and indirectly been contributing to the opression of zaun not because she's prejudiced or hates them but simply because she profits from it, like i am so sorry my queen that they don't get you like i get you
#arcane#mel medarda#ella originals#in fact i do think it's soooo interesting that mel being an immigrant didn't really grow up with the ingrained prejudice like most piltovan#(it's cait's lines in her first ever scene--she's not at all malicious it's just a part of her worldview that the undercity is dangerous)#(and that's not something she ever grows out of which is such a huge fail for the show but that's a discussion for another time)#mel doesn't hate zaunites or anything she just doesn't care#she is a kind and compassionate person but all that is hyperfocused on directly opposing her mother's violent imperialism#and not in the sense of well the price in blood to be extracted for our advancement is too much and not worth it#but the advancement--progress if you will--can be accomplished through avenues other than violent imperialism and expansionism so it's fine#and it doesn't matter to her that those other means are just as bloody and that it's very much NOT FINE#it's such a fascinating contradiction and a blind spot and i am SO ANGRY s2 made her a wizard instead of exploring it#a zaunite revolution could have had her whole world collapsing around her#WE WERE ON OUR WAY#IT WAS ALREADY HAPPENING WITH THE BRIDGE MASSACRE THAT'S WHY SHE ORIGINALLY SUPPORTED ZAUNITE INDEPENDENCE#because the blood she's been spilling finally came to flood her door too and she had to face the fact that she was not so different from he#mother at all that's why she took off her ring before she cast her vote#and we could've gone so much further with that i wanted to see everything this woman believed she knew about herself collapse around her#i wanted DRAMA and EXPLORATION and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT#anyway this got away from me but my point was i see so many people acting as if the reason mel's morally grey is bc she manipulated jayce#as if she's not actively profiting off of violent oppression of zaunites#in case it was somehow unclear none of this is me being anti-mel i adore my queen with all my heart

DAREDEVIL | 1.01
Our practice is relatively young, Miss Page, and we are aggressively pursing new clientele.
#Daredeviledit#Karen Page#Matt Murdock#Foggy Nelson#Deborah Ann Woll#Charlie Cox#Elden Henson#Daredevil#DD 1.01#Not Revolution#GIF set#Mine#Daredevil OT3#Somehow I erased like a bunch of this show from my memory - maybe because I haven't properly watched it for 9 years#But I've just spent the week going through S1 of DD and the original season had so much heart and everyone cried#Everyone had a breakdown#They got overwhelmed and disappointed and angry with each other#and it slides so effortlessly into a slow build as they start introducing all the characters AND I FORGOT KAREN WAS THEIR FIRST CLIENT#And that Foggy bribed Brett for a heads up if 'something interesting' walked into the precinct.#And they just sort of adopt her#This is our Karen now#Please stop trying to arrest her for murder#It's sort of a person version of a foster fail. She's just going to stay at Matt's house for one night. And then maybe work at the office.#And okay now she's buying office equipment and helping us investigate and being a drinking buddy.#And she's making friends with a reporter and being a translator. But it's nothing serious. She hasn't accidentally become very important#to our mental health. She'll go back to her regular life when the case is over. This is all very normal.#Except for all the murders that keep happening.#And oh no - we've accidentally become a crime fighting team... WHOOPS.#Off Topic: I wish DDBA was on at the end of the week rather than the middle. It gives me way too much time to think between episodes.#And what is with the colouring in this show? There's no need for this much yellow.

yea i rewatched the s1 finale. did a lil doodle about it
#GODDD I NEED MORE PPL TO TALK ABOUT IL-NAM AND GI-HUN'S FINAL CONVERSATION#and i need them to like actually pay attention this time#stg its one of the more misunderstood scenes of the series#ive seen some people seeing it as a clash of two totally valid ideologies when like#no one of these things is clearly wrong. characters can have flawed logic even if they SOUND convincing#il-nams so fuckin good at manipulating that hes manipulated the audience NOOOO#people got too convinced that il-nam was in the right when he said 'well people came back on their own accord'#as if we didnt have an episode explicitly showing us the characters very shitty lives outside of the games#that forced them back into them#as if we werent explicitly shown gi-huns situation in great detail in e1 that landed him in the games in the first place#also i do NOT agree with any kinda sentiment that gi-hun is 'just as bad as the VIPs' for playing that game w/ il-nam#i mean. the dude was clearly reeling from the fucking BETRAYAL HES EXPERIENCING>??#and also il-nam is very manipulative as i said before. i think he was good at redirecting their interaction so that in the moment gi-hun >#> kinda forgets could ditch il-nam and go outside n save the homeless man himself#<- not really perfectly worded but i hope yall get what i mean#plus in s1 it was shown that gi-hun could sometimes not think ahead or clearly#especially when his emotions are running high#like. idk. when he realizes the man hes grieved and felt immense guilt over for a year is actually an evil ass rich dude who orchestrates >#> the mass murder of people in debt#god i am one PETTY ASS BITCH cuz i will NOT LET THIS GO#anyways. i just think that il-nams betrayal is just so so fucked because i was really Thinking about it as i rewatched the ep and#gi-hun likely grieved il-nam the same way he grieved the other friends he had in the games. he probably saw him in his nightmares too.#remembered how he'd hugged him even though gi-hun had been tricking him#(SIDE NOTE. ITS FUCKED THAT ONLY THE EVIL OLD MAN HAS HUGGED GI-HUN. CAN SOMEONE WHO ISNT EVIL BE NICEYS TO HIM.)#all of that. all of that grief and all of that love. what does it even mean now.#gi-hun is embarrassed hes been made a fool of hes angry hes heartbroken#squid game#seong gi hun#my art#doodle

#mine#dr stone#drst#sengen#senku#gen#hyoga#senku is that motherfucker who cant say i love you back. but he finds other ways#i spent too long thinking about who should be the third guy here#i felt like a lot of characters could potentially play that role in certain circumstances but it still didnt really fit them#i made a first draft where the third guy was kohaku bc its super easy to find an angry screencap of her#but then got so offended at myself for making that bc she is NOT like that she loves love#then i thought it would be funny if it was ukyo but its impossible to find an angry pic of him#then i looked back at the original image and saw it was darth vader and was like.#oh yeah no duh i should be using hyoga GSHSBSFNA#anyway if anyone here knows about..... sigh. lego star wars i guess#id love some help to find the source of this bc it would be funny as a video too gdhgfj#anyway i love the 5th panel. how chewbacca is just there

i find the similarities and differences between how apollo/kazuma and ryuunosuke react to their loved ones deaths. ryuunosuke takes karuma and wraps kazumas headband on it, bringing it with him and having it be the reason to why he is a lawyer, like how apollo wears clays jacket and how he leaves to independently investigate for clay but they differ from there. kazuma gets rid of his headband which he started wearing for ryuunosuke, symbolically getting rid of his past attachments and becoming a new person. apollo wears a bandage around his eye to stop himself from perceiving athenaâs lies. kazuma and apollo both do things that destroy their own selves- kazuma is not the best friend ryuunosuke knew and apollo refuses to perceive and accuses athena. apollo has a disturbing resemblance to kristoph, even repeating âevidence is everything in courtâ. kazuma becomes aggressive, breaking his soul on gregsonâs trunk due to his anger and his need for the truth behind his fathers death. apollo and kazuma both dramatically change after deaths. apollo mirrors kristoph, kazuma breaks his soul, and they both disengage with past friends in their desperate search for the truth, harming themselves and others. ryuunosuke takes kazumas death as a reason to keep going as a lawyer, while apollo and kazuma push themselves to the extreme to find out the truth.
#ace attorney#the great ace attorney#GUESS WHO FINISHED DUAL DESTINIES TODAY#also no fucking way apollo was saying that shit in court#glad capcom got rid of klavier cuz if he was there he would probably start having a mental breakdown in court and so would i#like the guy who exposed my brother for murder and other crimes and âsavedâ me is now imitating my brother#fuck you apollo justice#just kidding i still like him idk why he switched up so quick#i was expecting him to be like kazuma and remain a fucking bitch forgever#apollo justice#kazuma asogi#ryunosuke naruhodo#me when no franziska von karma#i want to study kazuma asogi under a microscope like heâs so interesting#âokay class time for your final assignment! write the BEST character ever using everything youâve learned!!â and capcom#just combines everything theyâve ever known#still pissed that they removed apollos old loud objections him and phoenix sound WAY too similar#minor things about dual destinies make me so irrationally angry

hey lost fans I know we already know about the misogyny problem in this fandom but something that's been really pissing me thw fuck off lately is the fact that I swear to god like half of you are obsessed with undermining certain canon m/f ships for literally the dumbest fucking reasons and half the time it's because you just don't find the female half of it "interesting enough" and like. do you fucking hear yourselves. you are the same people who come up with the most random out of pocket bullshit m/m rarepair and like, yeah, there's nothing wrong with that, I love m/m rarepairs too, but if you can sit here and create chemistry that only exists in your fucking brain for a ship that otherwise does not make any goddamn sense then I also think you should be able to just make shit up about a female character too. so many of these woman have so much potential as characters that aren't fully realized in the show and you have the ability to give them more as characters but you are choosing not to because you literally just don't fucking find women interesting. you make up reasons to care about men all the time but you can't do the same for women? either recognize your biases or fucking log off. I'm tired.
#sorry about the rant i got really angry about this#this also applies to f/f ships btw but i wrote this about m/f ships because lost has a lot of them#and this is a problem ive seen multiple times and it really irks me#so i wrote this with despen in mind. because it pisses me clean off the way some of you treat penny#she is an INTERESTING CHARACTER with POTENTIAL. you literally just dont care about women jusr admit that.#if you get to be delusional about kelvin inman you should also have to spend 5 minutes a day being delusional about penelope widmore too#like me#i dont know man. sorry for getting so fucking angry. stop being misogynists about your ships#I'm gay. i. am gay i love men i love gay ships. im a homosexual#some of yall jsut act like it's fucking ancient greece in these fandoms for some reason#okay#im tagging this lost cause it's a lost fandom issue and i wrote it about lost. sorry for puttkng thks on your feed if it winds up there#im finished.#lost abc

tis here!! My stupid little beta pdbc comic!! UHHHHH
additional ramblings because I donât know how to stop yapping:
I know the ending is extremely abrupt but honestly? I canât even lie I think itâs funnier and somehow more in character that way. There is no way in hell heâd question what just happened heâd just lay on the floor and say âalas!â As if that is in any way is a proper response to what just happened. So no apologies for that, I genuinely think the ending is amazing and wonât hear anything else. Alas.
I WAS REALLY SCREWED OVER WITH THE TEN IMAGE MOBILE LIMIT SO THE PACING IS VERY IFFY!! That alongside the fact I wanted to get this out as quickly as possible to gauge opinions and suchâtherefore making this much less detailed than Iâd like to have made it, yes thatâs my own fault I knowâmeans that I couldnât properly show what the briar zome is like (HEARTBREAKING). Itâs a lot more spacious and unending than whatâs shown here. In this it only looks like youâre there for a few minutes but experiences there can last up to a week. There are also a lot more thorns and spiked vines, itâs just that, like I said, I wanted to get this posted quickly and coloring in all of those spikes probably took more time than some of the drawings themselves. Had I made this as accurate to canon as possible, it would be much more visually cluttered. The briar zome is VERY hard to traverse because almost everything is covered in thorns (hence the name). Also worth noting that although itâs seemingly wintry there, thereâs no actual temperature in the briar zome which is why pumpkin daddy is not fucking freezing to death (you have to look DAPPER when youâre illegally eating crabs)
This technically isnât canon. This is a mishmash of all of the stuff I have about the briar zome, but in canon itâs all much more spread out, e.g. the eyes werenât discovered until a few trips in when they actually bothered trying to figure out if/where the briar zome ends, in which BAM they found a buncha eyes!! Speaking of the eyes, their official names are Sotes, and where theyâre found is called the âEyes Rinkâ (GET IT!!! EYES!!! ICE!!! GET I-đ„đ„đ„)
youâre probably wondering what the Miika chimp incident is, which is a fair thing to be wondering, however I will not be elaborating because I think itâs funnier that way. sorry (I am not at all sorry)
AND THE TIIIIIIME yes indeed the time works differently there. As one could. Probably guess by the wack-ass watch positions. The briar zome does in fact have its own time system thatâs displayed differently than most would be used to. Alas, I had to cut that part short because I realized I was quickly running out of pages and I really wanted space to draw some of those beautiful beautiful eyeballs. I has this whole lecture about different types of watch hand designs and their names but that was unfortunately cut for time (ironically)
anyway uh. hope this was somewhat enjoyable? *EXPLODES*
#I am going to try to restrain myself from bashing this too much because Iâve already made my opinions on it Very clear#but I am. not all too proud with how this turned out but THATâS OK THATS WHY ITS A BETA COMIC đŠ
đŠ
đ„đ„ I am LEARNING#trying. so hard not to go on a rant about everything I hate about this because that wonât be beneficial to anyone and I need to learn that#just need to take a deep breath and remind myself this is a beta for a Reason this is merely a practice#but with all that out of the way GIVE ME FEEDBACK đčđčđčđ«”đ«”PLEASE#I need feedback I CRAVE feedback I need to know what Iâm doing wrong or right#because I am genuinely blinded by my own lack of confidence I do Not know whatâs good or bad when all I see is bad!! be brutally honest!!#in a nice way!! because I got that RSD swag!!#but seriously do tell me your thoughts cause I want to make more in the future!! ones with a bit more planning involved!!#I just need to throw together some beta character designs so I have more to work with#trust me when I get the hang of things it will be SO much better there will be DECENT ART and DECENT WRITING and GOOD STUFF. I THINK#so uh yeah!!!!! idk what to say I feel like a cat bringing a dead bird to the doorstep EXPLODES#pdbc#and tell me if thereâs any specific comic topics yaâd want to see!! feedback is my life source!!#giant friendly eyes meet tiny angry woman with ommetaphobia (heartbreaking) (they just want friends)

rant but im a bit scared im going to get attacked
#so im hiding in the tags and book tok is the subject today#psa: skip past the fourth wing rant to see what im actually talking about#so. the abomination that is FOURTH WING#(my review on it was the longest i have ever written lmfao)#dont get me wrong there are good parts to the book!#most of them are plagiarised from like at least 10 other books tho#the one good thing is the dragon worldbuilding (if u could call it that) but honestly. that's probably plagiarised from smt idk#the pacing is horrible#and yes it was weirdly gripping but in the way you are gripped by a nightmare when u cant get yourself to wake up#anyways i havent even got onto the characters yet. fmc has no personality and mmc is tall and dark and brooding#supposedly enemies to lovers and it should have been given unsolved family business but nope they just want to shag UGH#anyways this was triggered by me talking to my friend's friend who is currently reading it and i was honestly gobsmacked#do book tok readers have no critical thinking (not generalisation im just mad)#like she said six of crows was worse than fourth wing#and it just pissed me off because people just read bad literature from book tok just for the smut when there is GOOD SMUT FOR FREE#FANFIC EXISTS BUT THE STIGMA IS TOO MUCH#and so there are authors who are writing terrible plagiarised shit and profiting off it#and then there are the valiant fanfic writers#like pls im so mad rn especially bc there are so many problems w book tok books (gender roles + pick me stuff etc etc)#one thing that really bothers me is the willingness to just ignore how toxic mmcs are just because they're hot or whatever#it's so problematic (also ppl excusing irl people just bc they're funny)#im so angry because book tok (aside from specific few books) is just a den of plagiarism and capitalism#and im also mad because when did the actual appreciation of good writing (not even literature) just GOOD writing die#and it died because of all things people want to read smut like you can have both and free from fanfic#note that this is not a personal attack this is more of a frustration rant and i do not mean to point fingers at all book tok readers#i just want to highlight the problems w it (mainly plagiarism and excusing weird things and normalising other stuff)#space boo screams into the void#book tok#literature#fanfiction

idk if there's anything in stories i get more petty about than poorly-written "main character shows up to a new place and meets everyone" character introduction scenes
#personal#they make me SO ANGRY ahglkmsfkl#it isnt just the trope of showing up and meeting everyone either#like it works for me in some things!#i think pacific rim does a really good job with characterization for example#and it's got a sequence of scenes where raleigh arrives and the audience is introduced to the shatterdome & important characters basically#my working theory until i do some more analysis is that stories that do it well leave some mystery#like in pacrim you don't find out mako's whole deal immediately upon meeting her#pentecost doesnt go ''this is mako mori. one of our brightest. her whole family was killed by a kaiju and she wants to be a pilot''#he says she's in charge of the mk 3 restoration program#and she doesn't immediately offer up her backstory because why would she. real people dont do that#the russian pilots dont show up and go ''hello we are russian''. pentecost just tells raleigh briefly who they are#etc. newt & hermann's intro scene is one of my favourite bits of characterization Ever and you don't learn that much about hermann during i#all the info you get is from newt being chatty and ridiculous and mocking hermann and putting his foot in his mouth. i.e. newt being newt#and that's what makes it good!#when chuck and herc are introduced you learn absolutely nothing about chuck. hes just there in the background#he and raleigh look at each other for a second and you kinda go ''who's that guy''#AND THATS ENOUGH TO ESTABLISH HIM AS ''PROBABLY IMPORTANT LATER''#idk idk but so many books do this kind of scene so badly that it pisses me off#so many POPULAR books too. like i either am uniquely annoyed about this or other people are way more willing to overlook it lol#as far as examples go. the house in the cerulean sea and every heart a doorway were the books where i got so annoyed i immediately DNFed#i feel like the long way to a small angry planet does it a little bit but not as bad. i cant remember for sure it's been a while#i did finish that one but i had extremely mixed feelings about it#and now im reading a big ship at the edge of the universe and. once again it is happening#aaaargh

I know ppl couldn't care less about the humans in the cgi movies but Zoe and Dr. Rubin were both hilarious characters and the more i rewatch the movies the more i think about that.
#we all know Ian was the best human character simply bc David cross was great on it but i think these two are pretty funny!!#the idea of an adult woman hyping the chipmunks is so adorable and a great way to explain why Alvin nevergot expelled lmao#and zoe was simply hilarious! maybe because i find her out-of-reality personality too appealing#it's such a shame the writers of the cgi movies couldn't write Dave better bc while i don't hate him like other ppl#i do think he is one of the least interesting human characters in all the movies#i don't think it's the actor's fault they just didn't know what to do with his character besides being a strict dad for the chipmunks#but funny enough i do think dave from the cgi series is even more boring despite there are episodes focused on him#i love when he is all affectionate with his sons and the chipettes but he is so bland without that and sometimes way too strict#i still can't believe there is an episode focused on the chipmunks getting scared of Dave knowing they spilled milk#it just shows how many times he has get angry for the most simply things#it doesn't help AT ALL that the show has barely likeable human characters i mean i adore miss smith but i do get why ppl don't like her#miss croner is an amazing contrast to miss miller! but i do think they write her way too aggressive at times#officer dangus is the only character besides miss miller that i find decent without giving a 'but' in the middle#the classmates of the chipmunks.... Yeah we don't talk about them#i would like to go further with the humans characters of the 80's show but i still need to watch a LOT of episodes#but i would say that most of the episodic human characters of the 80's have been pretty nice so far#i loved the old lady that got a date with Alvin!! she was way too sweet with him and i love the way alvin learn his lesson at the end#also it has the best dave so far!! he is a lovely dad and he can be funny on his own way. i can tell he is just doing his best ahaha#aatc#alvin and the chipmunks

Well, now I know why Jo was crying.
#the heir of redclyffe#i did tear up a bit#more in the leadup than in the scene#but the scene itself didn't affect me too much#tbh i'm a little angry it went this way#for some reason i'd built up hope for this big melodramatic gothic moment#and instead it was much more sedate and domestic and victorian#it got kinda overwrought and cloying#but also the religious part is technically correct and it's kinda nice to see this take on it#i'm not sure what we're gonna do for the last fifth of the book#the pacing of this is odd by modern standards#it really feels like you're just living life with these characters instead of reading a story with a plot#thankfully the characters are great#the family dynamics are *chef's kiss*#but i hope there's only one big tears-worthy moment here#if anything happens to charles we riot#charlotte mary yonge#little women#louisa may alcott

anyway another eyetrees secret
on the subject of names i like vs names that are mine
icarus actually falls into the second category. except gravity falls (show fandom both i have no idea) turned it a bit sour
still a good name though
#how did gravity falls turn it sour well would you like a âšÂ Rant âš#majority of fandom (including alex hirsch) sees ford in an unfavorable light. to put it very lightly#where else will you find people so angry at a character that they feel the need to censor his name#by taking this unfavorable view of ford and giving that specific perspective an association with the story of icarus#you give the story of icarus an association with arrogance prick selfish idiot#ford and icarus are very similar in a lot of ways#they were in a desperate situation. told not to do something related to a way out of that situation. did it anyway and suffered as a result#but the thing is icarus didn't fall because he was too arrogant or selfish or stupid#he fell because he had just achieved freedom and flight at the same time and got too excited about it#in the most literal sense he was just happy to be free#and that goes for ford too#that was long. end of tags

I feel mad >:(
#and itâs about the camera sceneâąïž and how people fail to. price the most obvious and blatantly clear apology known to man#*see#my man apologized for his actions there is not a whole lot he can do now considering itâs been like three years since it happened#people saying Jonathan should atone for it donât get that he has a fucking character arch to complete#his conversations with Steven should not be about the camera scene and should be about actual relevant things to the plot#I never want to hear the camera scene talked about again after s5 cause itâs basically the same thing being said like thousands of times#that goes nowhere at all#all of those arguments really make me wish that scene did not exist at all#like I wish there was a different way Nancy and Jonathan team up together in s1#but itâs too late now and I have to accept that and just try to ignore the hate my fav gets#I do agree that his actions were bad (who wouldnât)#and idc if Jonathan is your least favourite cause thatâs your opinion and you are allowed to have it#but all the camera scene arguments from people who have a more neutral stance on him needs a separate tag we Jonathan fans who are tired#and angry at seeing them can bloke so we can enjoy our blorbo in peace#*âblock#anyways Iâve got work in a few hours so Iâm going to go and eat breakfast and calm down#sending hugs <3<3<3

Fixing my dialog up
Blurgh
#speculation nation#itnl shit#the struggle of writing a new character is conceptualizing their Voice#gotta settle those sliding scales down#i had formality scale too formal i think. hes kind of formal but in a pretentious way. not a true formality.#a little bit stilted in speech. trying to intimidate. trying to seem like hes got the upper hand always#talking down to people. like theyre lesser than him.#seemingly unflappable. at least at this point in the story. just a bastard man with a bastard plan.#im cross referencing manga dialog rn. i wrote originally with the 98 anime dub voice in mind#which has some Vibes but is less concrete#im going for concrete now. gotta finalize this fucking dialog.#once i smooth it out then i can go tie up the end of the scene#and Then i start the formal overall edit sweep for general coherency and consistency#as well as looking for any minor mistakes i couldve missed in earlier editing sweeps#aka. my usual process lol#i am just squinting angry bitch annoyance at this fuckin bastard man. trying to figure out how he talks#it's kind of difficult to figure out the minor differences due to Things and how that would actually go into effect#what they dont tell u about writing is that it is so very hard actually. god damn.

Ford: I am awful. what a terrible, self-centered guy I am. I have so much to atone for
flashback to Young Ford who hasn't slept and is in hysterics: I DON'T NEED YOU. I DON'T NEED ANYONE!
Ford: ...but I suppose I've gotten better
I tried to give a short comment on my thoughts in the tags but now the tags are longer than this post. whoops.
Some Fords! (and Martin K Blackwood is also there)
#I am now better than I was before#is such a powerful thing to recognize#stanford pines#gravity falls#guys I keep forgetting to tag these because they feel implied now#of course I'm posting something that relates to Ford and Fiddleford's relationship that's just a given at this point#listen ok I like it when the loyal and caring friend is RIGHT and the one socially recognized as '''special'''' apologizes and gets what's#coming to them after treating someone poorly#god I love Ford as a character but if I met him irl before he got better I would have been So Angry At Him#I know way too many people who think they're a Ford but are actually just a Gideon#Ford post bill and pre portal: FUCK THIS GUY#Ford post poral: HUG THIS GUY#I say post Bill not because Bill was 'everything wrong with Ford' but because Bill intensified a lot of Ford's flaws until they became#unbearable. Ford was already fucked up but then when the toxic yaoi hit he was incapable of maintaining any relationship outside of his#weird shit with Bill#trippedandfellintogravityfalls
