#maybe if I could rant to someone

My brain keeps giving me gorgeous fic ideas but no motivation to write any of them.

Weeping and gnashing of teeth, this is no good.

Anna Kendrick talking (briefly) about Beca's relationship with the Bellas was NOT on my 2024 bingo card. in fact, i'm actually physically shaking. what the hell.

I'm a little reluctant to say that I'm expecting another show to tie up the loose ends left from the bad batch mostly because, to me, it feels like an excuse for haphazard handling of the story. Sure, maybe a show someday will tie up all of those threads and tell the rest of the story that we are missing. Maybe some day they'll bring back Tech (as they should). Maybe they'll actually tie up story threads with Echo, Wrecker, and Crosshair without just cutting it all off (literally, in Crosshair's case, yes I'm still very upset about it). Maybe one day they will tell a satisfying ending to this story in another show.

But this show was not marketed as a Part 1 to a larger story and still isn't being sold as that either. Truthfully, we have no way of really knowing what the future holds so this limbo where everything feels unfinished is just painful for me to think about. Hell, I don't think I will ever watch this show again because I think of S3 and I go 'what's the point?'

I completely understand the hope that there will be another show that will fix all of the glaring issues. I respect wanting there to be a reason things got so damn weird with S3 and speculating about it and talking about possibilities. And there very well may be one!People should continue hoping that will happen because all of the theories and speculation have been great to read and talk about. This fandom's ideas have been incredible, insightful, and would make for some actual great storytelling. I've loved reading all of them. But I don't want to excuse all of these weird and shitty writing decisions because the longer we go with no other answers the less I want to hand those excuses out.

I fell in love with these characters. And I don't like seeing any of them tossed to the side, unfinished, or forgotten. At this point Tech, Echo, Wrecker, and Crosshair were. I'm still having a hard time coming to terms with that.

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

Yall remember when the Hanahaki disease was all over the internet and in like every fandom

Idk why. But for some reason

I had a dream abt that shit with fukin maxley AND maxanne angst man

THESE DOGS ARE TAKIN OVER MY LIIIIFFFEEEE

Ofc it was Bradley who started throwing up the flowers first(Teehee). He doesn't want to admit the feelings he has. It's not that he's doing the whole "I'm not gay" thing, even tho I do love me some internalized self-homophobia. It's more of a "I refuse to like him because of WHO he is" kinda thing.

And Max. Well, he's got a girlfriend! In a considerably healthy relationship. So.. why did a petal just come out after he coughed?

Roxanne.. She's just too scared to break up with him and hurt his feelings. It's probably won't be until a good while until he tells her about the flowers tbh. Like, until they look almost like fully bloomed flowers.

Ye, Roxy kinda fucks up a lil in this, but her heart was in the right place.

LISTEN!! I RAAARELY LOOK AT LOVE TRIANGLE(ETC) STUFF COZ I KINDA FIND IT CRINGE SOMETIMES

BUUUT THESE THREE.

I NEED THEM TO HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP ANGST! I NEED TO SEE THEM SLOWLY GET TOGETHER AND SLOWLY BECOME A THRUPLE AND AND HAVE ANGST AND AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I need more sleep

[inclined--plane]

it's kind of like insanely isolating that literally every aspec or "ace & aro" space I've found has been in actuality, solely for aces. perhaps arospec aces or aroaces who entirely prioritize their asexuality could also find company there, but even as an aromantic person who is also asexual, they're really not intended for me. so I can only imagine how isolating it must be if you're aromantic and allosexual

[hyuck-xix]

people saying 'do it scared' 'do it alone' 'do it tired' etc etc

okay i'm glad you guys have the neurotypicality and mental health to actually persevere but i don't and i can't

[lore-gore]

My mom has COVID and I'm starting to get sick and usually I assume it's a cold considering my symptoms but I dunno if it's also COVID. No fever, just a phelgmy cough, sore throat, and some body aches(?) Been currently masking just in case. Hoping that my symptoms fall off soon because I have a con this weekend and want to unmask.

[torchiiko]

is it just me or is it Weird that ppl will see someone being gnc or doing smth atypical for their gender & immediately jump to assuming theyll be trans & misgendering them by using their "future pronouns"

eg a guy talking abt how much he likes wearing feminine clothes & the comments being stuff like "give her time, shell figure it out <3" like ok. sure they Could transition later on but for now youre just misgendering them for no reason. not everyone is an egg & sometimes you do more harm than good by assuming they are

HI THIS IS A LONG RANT ABOUT A VERY OBVIOUS REALIZATION I CAME TO EARLIER TONIGHT DISCLAIMER I AM NOT BY ANY MEANS A JAGERIST AND THIS MIGHT NOT MAKE ANY SENSE

maybe im reading into things too much or maybe this is just common knowledge and im just really slow to find out about it but i just realized that there is some sick and twisted manipulation going on between eren and floch. like. eren really saw the one person who lost everything so abruptly and violently and was like "im gonna convince him the only way to keep his current living friends and family alive is to join my mass murder supervillian genocide plan" and holy shit i just put two and two together

OF COURSE floch's a jagerist he has arguably been through more than (most) of the main cast!!!! and eren's cause promises that he'll never have to suffer that again!!!! its so fucking obvious to me now ohhghhh my godd

OF COURSE he's gonna side with a violent plan he has no lived experience of conflict being solved with diplomacy none of these characters really have but its about how violently his worldview was flipped on its head

i cant remember if he was garrison or mp but either way the fucking whiplash of relatively cozy interior life to literally his first mission HE COMES BACK THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF (that side of the shinganshina wall) YEAH THATD FUCK SOMEONE UP

he is a bonkers good representation of radicalization as a result of trauma and i will not shut up about him

tldr: eren knew what he was doing targeting floch (and floch's probably pretty fragile mental state) into joining his genocide club

[mudstoneabyss]

actually. the specific phrasing that boy Kevin wants to kill older Kevin with "I must disassemble him, piece by piece, so that everything inside of the Old Kevin comes out. Only then can the New Kevin truly begin." is so incredibly the idea that to heal from trauma and "improve" you have to destroy every "wrong" part of yourself, that everything "tainted" by it has to somehow be replaced by something untouched (which isn't possible)

I hate watching people I'm close to and people I bonded over vocaloid with grow out of it and start listening to real people and becoming more invested in other interest because that means they'll grow out of ME and I'll die

[steelthroat]

First time staying at the hotel of a theme park (against my will, but that's a long story) and... it's so weird??????

Like I feel like I am not supposed to be here, how do I put it... it screams luxury but I a... childlike/childish way????

And I feel restless, like something is wrong. Uncanny.

[the-way-astray]

okay fintan fans need to stop acting like making alt accounts to vote gethen was a significant factor in his winning

I've had this idea for the dead boy detectives, and I wasn't going to say anything but I'm trying to feel better so I might as well say it now but I was thinking of a Corps Bride au for them.

I think Charles is Victor and Edwin being Emily. It makes sense, and I think maybe in the end, Charles does somehow die in the end and stays with Edwin.

Maybe Charles and Crystal were in an arranged marriage that they wanted to make a work but couldn't. Also, the line "no, you're married to me, she's the other women" fits them both in so many ways.

I think the land of the dead would also be fun. The worm and spider would probably be Monty and the Cat King. The song where the skeleton sings about how beautiful Emily is is so Edwin and Cat King. Maybe they're exes on good terms, and Monty also being that and they stayed friends. It would just be cute.

I would love if any arist or writers could make this since I'm not good at wither. It's just a fun thought I had.

Also, the end where Charles tries to kill the guy Edwin was originally going to marry is so cute.
