This line is one of my Absolute Favorites from this show, because it really digs right into the new world that the kids are in:

They're not kids anymore.

There's a furious man threatening harm to Bumpy and her friends, and Sammy puts herself square in the middle of the argument, turns on the charm and promises that she'll make it up to him...and when he doesn't acquiesce, she immediately turns Stern. She bluntly tells him to go home. As an adult talking to another adult.

She has her own property. Her own life. Her own world. She has authority now. The days where they're kids hiding from robots or businessmen or sneaking away from big game hunters and mercenaries are over. Sammy has land, she has responsibilities, and she's not backing down from them. Sammy Gutierrez is an adult woman, and she's going to act like one.

Will mostly be reblogging for a while I think, but I’m gonna be real, 70 percent of my reason for making this blog in the hopes of writing was that I noticed a big chunk of CoD x reader posts on this hellsite have readers with like…concerningly low ages. There’s a lot of reader character minor-coding going on, and it’s weirdling me out (no shade to young writers, I know a lot of the reason is that a majority of CoD fanfic writers are 18-25 here, which, yk, fair that you wanna see self-inserts with similar ages).

But as I said, it gives me the ick, so if/when I end up writing x reader, I wanna go ahead and make it clear that I will not be writing a reader character in a romantic/sexual position BELOW the age of 25 at most. Most of the Call of Duty men are, like, 28 at the youngest, and I’m more inclined to write reader characters with matching ages, especially afab readers.

In other words? I’m gonna write milfs and dilfs. I’m gonna write top!reader. I’m gonna write unhinged women that leave the various men of TF141 screaming crying throwing up. I will NOT be writing virginal, innocent, or overly naive reader characters; I do not do minor-coding. Y’all have been warned.

Hmm... I kinda want to mention/discuss how Husk and Alastor have more in common than the fandom thinks and can even be interesting foils to each other but idk if you all ready for that tea yet... 👀

[nobodysdaydreams]

Giving a complicated tragic childhood backstory to your favorite character is all fun and games, until you realize you need to account for how old all the other adult characters would have been at the time and realize that scenes that would work perfectly if one character was twenty three and the other was fourteen stop working when you need other characters who are played by adult actors clearly younger than they are to be in college at the same time so your story beats line up thematically.

It’s not healthy for me to keep all this stuff bottled up inside. I gotta get it out somehow 😩

A month ago I had the passing thought that I didn't like Taylor Swift when I was younger because I was behind her eras and it was a really casual observation then but every day I find new ways it's true

[xxplastic-cubexx]

Understandably So no one mentions charles when talking about the Logan movie and again Understandably So This Aint Bout Him however i do confess that as someone who had never seen Logan until like. a month ago when i was binging all the movies and without knowing a single thing about it aside from laura i cant lie i was in fact jumpscared by him being there. especially for at least like 3/4s of the movie

Workforce Tuvok is my cringefail babygirl

[romance-incubomp3]

it does surprise me how niche visual kei is on the gay trans site full of anime/other japanese pop culture fans and self proclaimed old man yaoi enjoyers and the long haired men lovers and goth femboy lovers and gender binary haters. like boy oh boy do I have a music scene just for you

[yandere-daydreams]

how about anne carson? funny, witty, tragic, and not at all straightforward. autobiography of red and antigone feel like they could be up your alley.

also the market is oversaturated with mediocre greek retellings which lack any nuance as of now. i curse rick riordan for this.

i'll look into her!!! admittedly i do find plays/poetry a little hard to get into (and atm i am throwing myself headfirst into Complete Twilight Immersion but as more of a social studies thing than a literature thing), but it's always nice to have a few suggestions on the backlog <3

i was also just,,, the biggest rick riordan kid growing up, so it might just be my bias speaking, but i feel like his books were actually pretty good myth adaptions? he clearly goes through a lot of effort to actually take the framework of a given mythology and make something new from it, rather than just,,, copying the names and aesthetics or formatting the myths as they are in modern language with minimal changes to the actual subject matter. the first one can be kind of fun, but i simply,,, do not have enough in common with ancient greek poets to really enjoy the latter. the idea of odysseus just pisses me tf off too but i think that might just be a me issue.

my brother can make me laugh without moving at all. he can make me laugh on command, just by existing, and there is no physical tell or indication that it is about to happen. it’s like he can will me to laugh and i will. of course we’re not telepathic, but we do speak in unison sometimes. we improvise like no one’s business. we could fool anyone into believing we are psychically linked. when i try to explain it, i sound silly saying it out loud, but i really CAN tell what he’s thinking. we exchange so much information just with a look. he can make me cry laughing and he doesn’t even have to move
