The Worst period drama trope is when the revolutionary/radical socialist character “learns from their ways” and just…becomes a status quo lib. Or even worse: an actual member of the aristocracy
#makes me shudder#thinking specifically of:#tom branson#ada shelby#it’s so lame#when will writers learn that having a couple radical characters adds intrigue to their period dramas god dammit#like having tom still be a socialist in an aristocratic family? his hatred of the system in direct contrast to his love of the crawleys#would’ve added such a good moral dilemma#and same goes for ada who is a communist and at odds with her family because of this#it added so much good drama in the early seasons. like she literally named her son after karl marx lmao#and then they libified her. my girl I am so sorry#period dramas#downton abbey

silly cotl corporate au where lamb was supposed to be building narinders company back up from the ground, and instead of handing it over to him at the end, they engineer a loophole so now theyre the CEO while hes been demoted to their personal assistant.
except that he's REALLY good at it, even though he keeps trying to do things to fuck up their position and make them look incompetent. he tells them the wrong room for a meeting and they miss an assassination attempt by not showing up. he doesnt bother to send off a confirmation email to a partner company and it turns out the deal they were about to sign wouldve lost them half their stock. lamb thinks hes doing it on purpose because he secretly approves of them, narinder himself is livid
#cult of the lamb#cotl#no shirts because i hve a weird button phobia and i hate to look at them and shirt material makes me shudder so i hate drasing them#and i will never do it unless like im being paid#so everyone gets trendy turtlenecks and blazers#my art#sorta is just a sketch

"I've grown these for you."
My first entry for the @rexobibingo - because what is a Gardener/Gardening about if not making leafy things grow out of love? (You can, of course, grow your leafy things out of spite too, I guess, that's always a very fair motivation if you ask me)
Keeping to good old habits from my previous bingo experience, please allow me to wholeheartedly and very passionately recommend @dharmaavocado's fic that has been on my mind throughout the whole time while I was working on this drawing We Who Love Our Hands in Dirt which was likely the first fic that has sold me on this ship, and Hanahaki as allergies will never stop being fascinating to me as a concept *w*
#rexobi#obirex#rexobi bingo#rex x obi wan#my art#captain rex#obi wan kenobi#star wars fanart#tcw fanart#artists on tumblr#digital art#fanart#I haven't drawn flowers like this in a bit I was starting to feel bad about it#please make sure to check out dharma's fic if you haven't yet once AO3 is back in business again#Thank you everyone in the discord server for helping me with the colour picking!#if only my rl allergies could be cured by the simple method of a bit of introspection and *shudders* admittance of feelings#fuck allergy season it is only entertaining when it's happening in space#look at me showing up with personal art that isn't the Hades AU XD

Remembering stuff like Alfred having Bruce and cutting his hair and and dressing him. Which could mean anything but really reinforce the upstairs/downstairs servile relationship. The lack of modesty or shame a rich person has around their staff is something else. And it’s just a like. Almost a Caste system where Alfred is second class and can never BE on Bruce’s level as an equal let alone authority figure. And Alfred is happy with that! Because that’s the story and he is, after all, the butler
[laufire's cool post on Alfred & Bruce]
Yeah, Alfred is not Bruce's father. Bruce is the pater familias of his household like his father before him, and Alfred is his very cherished manservant. Alfred can be a caretaker and a confidant, he can even be parental (-ish), but he's not a parent. (Note to self: rant about the awkward and aggressively enforced line between "parental" and "parent" in Batman mythos.)
IMO one of the most compact arguments on Alfred's role is in Batman: Year One (IIRC the very comic that established Alfred as an old servant of the Wayne family, instead of his original story of being hired by Bruce). Grant Morrison was on some podcast (I think either Kevin Smith's podcast or "Hypertime to Podcast"?) talking about the significance of how Bruce's first act as Batman is to ring a bell to ask for Alfred to help him. We see Morrison emphasize this moment in The Return of Bruce Wayne, where The Bell is a relic on the same level as The Pearls and The Gun.
I can agree it's a defining moment. To some extent I'm willing to accept Morrison's suggestion that Bruce ringing the bell symbolizes the value of asking for help, teamwork, comradery, family, humility, etc—and most fans would be happy to sprint with that interpretation. But I can also juggle a separate interpretation that branches off and veers to the left...
You do not ring a bell to ask for help from your parent or friends or family—you ring a bell to summon a servant.
Bruce becoming Batman in Year One is the story of a prince reclaiming his kingdom. (The Return of Bruce Wayne is a renewal of that story.) Summoning the family manservant is the act of Bruce finally accepting his royal inheritance, after his foolish attempt to slum it with the rabble. A good king is kind and attentive to his subjects, and considers the opinions of his advisors—but they're never his equals or his superiors, no matter how much he cherishes them. They're his subordinates. Nobody is on Bruce's level as an equal, nobody can win a case against his authority, in Gotham. Bruce is the rightful heir of his kingdom. The king and queen are dead, long live the king.
—I know some vocal fans are very critical of Miller, but there's no disputing that Miller's Batman: Year One is the definitive Post-Crisis story of Bruce's invention of Batman, and pretty much every modern comic writer and fan recognizes it. It's likely no comic writer or story has had as much enduring influence on the Batman mythos since Miller wrote Year One and The Dark Knight Returns. Case in point: Alfred.
So yeah. Alfred isn't Bruce's dad. The Gotham TV series probably makes the strongest case for Alfred as Bruce's dad, and even then I personally think there is wiggle room to say eh they're family and they love each other but they're not quite parent & child. Everything else—Batman '66, BTAS, the Nolan movies, Lego Batman, Battinson—ultimately doesn't Alfred cast as Bruce's dad, for the best. Recent comics and the later Arkhamverse games try to force the father-son thing, but it's cheap and unearned.
#Me using big words and making grand sweeping claims for flavor? More likely than you think.#''The lack of modesty or shame a rich person has around their staff is something else.'' <- 🔥🔥 Love that.#alfred pennyworth#bruce wayne#batman meta#essay#Finally throwing my hat in the ring on Alfred Pennyworth meta.#I'm really sorry about my other way more important meta. Those posts have [shudders] citations and embedded images. 😖#Saint Vyvanse‚ pray for me...#Duke's Robin movement has a lot of good bits and one of the big misses was putting Alfred into the role that he had.#Big disservice that will be corrected when my school of thinkers are in charge of Duke's big-screen adaptation. ☝️#BTW the reason why Miller haters adore BTAS is because it's heavily based in the O'Neil-Englehart-Schwarz-ish era.#That's probably what Dini and Timm read growing up. Dini's Tec run ❤️❤️ is very BTAS-flavored but obvi overshadowed by Morrison's run.#Also. As a Jason fan.#(You knew this was coming.)#I say even Jason never made a heartfelt attempt to usurp the king. He is petitioning his king through terrorism.#I'm tired. Does this thing even make sense? Where was I going with this? What is the central claim?

Something funny because Uzi is from a planet called "Copper-9" get it? Copper nine? Copper to Nine like "[Name] to Earth, you with us"? hillarious I know
Something something Uzi is a robot that grew organic parts due to bullying and loneliness + some funky genetics stuff, while Nine is an organic guy that stapled robotic parts to himself because he was bullied due to some funky genetics stuff
#sonic prime#murder drones#having heavy feelings about my computer#mf straight up just blinked dead lmao#no warning no heads up no prior input aside from me scribbling away and he just#ded#sir why would you do this to me you didnt cost almos 1k€ for nothing#something something it coulve been overheating or like. residual effect of it#cuz bro was getting really hot lately like you could maybe make scrambled eggs on him hot#but hey hopefully maybe i get him back soon#cuz otherwise I will have to try traditional art and thats *shudders* scary....#enough rambling about my problems enjoy the sillies#miles nine prower#nine the fox#murder drones uzi#uzi doorman#uzi md#littol doodl#wouldve been and actually finished doodle but 😔😔#me does arts

Wait, people don't wash their pillows? I don't wash mine ALL the time that I wash my sheets, but at least every other time I wash my sheets (maybe every time during the summer).
It depends on the kind of pillow you have whether you can really wash it effectively. A lot of memory foam just can't handle being washed. Water goes in but it never comes out- horrifying breeding ground for mildew and bacteria.
But uh. Having worked in mattress sales that even people who use down or polyfill pillows tend not to wash them and it's.... something I try not to think about.
#ask ffs#bed talk#the amount of people with 20+ year old pillows they never wash still makes me shudder

im so funny, i was like
"yeah i enjoy romance but not that basic 'omg i just wanna hug you and kiss you and love you and snuggle you' shit that makes me sooo uneasy. i just want a comfortable silence and someone i know i can trust and watch stuff with and feel comfortable around no matter what. someone i can really fully trust that I don't have to put on a whole weird lovey dovey show around. that other stuff feels so fake and forced and weird, even if it's true it's like, oh my god shut up what are you talking about." <- IDIOT!!!! YOU'RE AROMANTIC. GOD.
#nnstuff#rambling#arospec#aro#aromantic#this post inspired by me overhearing my roommate talking all sweet to her bf#and i am. so uncomfortable lmao. body shuddering#i love being vaguely sex repulsed and vaguely romance repulsed#both those things make me like. kind of uneasy. but not enough to be full on repulsion#they just kinda make me wince or grimace most of the time#but other times im completely normal about it#really depends on the context and my vibes i suppose

I have so many Thoughts on the current HEAVY conservative swing the world is facing rn and how it manifests in fandom, media illiteracy, a violent aversion to making connections between the real world and the media we consume/how we perceive it, and this very juvenile and firm divide that doesn't make sense (anti and pro) but I think the most intriguing part of it would be OP and those like them insisting that by defaulting to what they believe is the norm and then proclaiming "anyone who thinks the clones don't fuck each other all day every day is just shoving their own societal mores onto this fictional sub/species/group of people" is committing the fatal flaw being arrogant enough to think that their ideas about sex, sexuality, and family aren't absolute SHINING through their preferred ships. As in they think "(Brown) teenage boys and men Of Course would have insatiable libidos and no taught or learned guidance around sex and sexuality, and they'd have all my same values about sex and sexuality, they'd just be fucking like Animals cause That's What (Brown) Men do, Duh" is like. The normal and smart and culturally neutral take. And not the deeply milquetoast hegemonic take that's been dominating society for centuries lmao.
(EDIT: I've been told by multiple māori fans and other PI fans that clonecest is a racist stereotype. Through my own research, this is due at least in part to the fact that māori are stereotyped by racists as sexual abusers of family members)
#ch posts#the gender and race and essentializing and heterosexuality of it....combined w the *motions to society*#fandom is a mirror#takes like this#while viciously corny#dont surprise me anymore i think what always gets me is the like#idk whenever an adult acts or talks like this it makes me shudder idk how to describe it its the.#well the onlineness? you get this myopicness from teens and children#it would be an interesting analysis to make#*write not make#clonecest tw#incest ment

#shameless#mickey milkovich#such an unbelievably shitty thing to do man#why would he ever try to make light of that especially with someone who doesn’t even know Mickey#I get that he was trying to distance himself from that part of his life and move on#and get some sort of validation from Caleb bc he craved it sm especially cos of how different their lives were#but it’s still such a shit thing to do#that was just never addressed#AND this was the only time 3x06 was EVER addressed and they make fun of it??????? seriously come on#the Mickey is The Worst narrative in s6 is actually painful to sit through#he was 18 when it happened to him !! 18 !!#this scene and the prison scene give me hives#ian gallagher#also#wonder how older Ian feels knowing he made fun of the worst day of his husbands life#like genuinely#when mickey struggles with that day post canon#does he ever think back to that conversation and shudder
