i've seen polarizing opinions on this, so i'm curious of the statistics of what people think
1. you believe randall will and/or should be redeemed, there's still potential/good in him
2. you think randall is too far gone, he's too evil to be redeemed and maw will continue to keep him as a villain
3. you hope randall is redeemed, but don't realistically see the show giving him that arc so he'll probably remain as a villain
4. you don't want randall to be redeemed, he's too far gone & it doesn't make sense, but maw will probably make him good in the end
5. if you have an opinion different or more complicated than above feel free to share!

This extended writing block is balls
I miss having my long, complex story to come here and immerse myself into every day, and a little community of folks doing the same thing, so we bounce each other’s ideas together and make something new.
Life could at least have the decency to throw my spoons in the dishwasher after taking them

Every now and then, I think about The Simpsons RPC and how there's an occasionally a spike of Simpsons muses that inevitably crumbles away and leaves me waiting for the next short lived Simpsons RPC Renaissance
#ooc tag#《 maybe there's still active Simpsons RPers out there and I'm not looking hard enough 》#《 but I'm surprised there's not more of a consistent/active community 》#《 even if the newer seasons are contentious‚ I'd at least expect people to have enough nostalgia for the old seasons to go off of that 》#《 part of me has always wanted to see if i could find an rp partner who could make Homer endearing to me again 》#《 I've been soured on him as a character for so long that finding someone who could make him tolerable is like finding a unicorn 》#《 especially when it seems like no one is interested in writing as him to begin with 》#《 The Simpsons is a big Special Interest of mine 》#《 i had an entire Simpsons RP blog before I gave up and migrated the muses back onto here 》#《 i miss writing my Simpsons muses 》#《 if there's any canon muses that come most naturally to me‚ it'd probably be the Simpsons ones 》#《 that and my Stardew Valley muses 》#《 it's easier to get me to play video games bc that's actively engaging me 》#《 and SDV is a big comfort game for me 》#《 i swear I'll get around to answering some drafts that are in purgatory rn 》#《 some of the replies are mostly done but I've stalled on them for whatever reason 》#《 there's less pressure with my Simpsons muses bc the characters have changed so much that it doesn't feel like i could be ooc 》#《 unless i deliberately tried to make them unlike anything they've ever been like in canon 》#《 and even then‚ there's probably an episode where they acted like that 》

There's discussion of ronance under the cut! so if that's not your thing maybe skip this and the next part :)
part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6 - part 7 - part 8
The sunset finds Steve sitting on a log, methodically breaking apart graham crackers and chocolate bars on top of a cooler.
Jonathan and Argyle are rolling joints beside him, sitting on a separate log and making light conversation with him.
Eddie's building a fire in front of them, a few feet away, just out of earshot. Steve loses the thread of conversation every now and then because he keeps getting distracted by Eddie's arms.
Some crackers and chocolate bars are unevenly split too. It's Eddie's fault that they're all wonky.
The taller boy (he will not let Steve forget this) is splitting a few dry logs into smaller ones using the cabin's axe.
He found and donned some leather work gloves, his tattoos shift as his arms flex, there are flashes of armpit hair every couple of swings, and there's sweat slowly dripping down his forehead.
Steve's doing his absolute best not to stare but it's very difficult.
When Eddie swipes the sweat off his brow and strips the gloves to bring out his pocket knife, Steve gets a coughing fit that Argyle has to bring him out of by clapping his back.
"Whoa there man, are you okay?" Argyle asks him,
Steve just franticaly nods as Jonathan snickers beside them.
Just as Eddie settles down in a crouch and starts shaving wood off the sides of the smaller logs, the girls come back from their walk.
Nancy walks to Eddie, offers a handful of dry pinecones and sets about arranging the logs.
Jonathan and Argyle announce they need popcorn and go back to the cabin to make some.
Robin has something trapped inside her hands.
She walks towards Steve, stands behind him and leans down to place her arms around his neck. Her hands remain closed, so that whatever is between them is now right in front of Steve's face.
"Guess what I got" she says, leaning her chin on top of Steve's head.
"That better not be a skunk, Bobbie"
Robin giggles "Have your ever seen a skunk, dingus? My hands are tiny!"
"A baby skunk, then" Steve amends, tone whiny.
Robin snorts, "Shut up. Look,"
As she opens her hands a tiny light shines out of them. Steve gasps.
"Hi!" he says, waving his index finger at the firefly,
"His name's Harold," Robin supplies.
"What? That sucks" Steve accuses, trying to look up at her, but only jostling her head a bit.
Robin gasps, "It's a perfectly good name for a firefly!" she protests, digging her chin atop his head.
Steve ducks his head and half turns in her arms, gives her a look and then turns back.
"How are the wife and kids, Harold?" he asks the bug,
Robin doesn't miss a beat, "He's gay, Steve. You should know better",
Steve can't help but laugh loudly at that.
Robin rushes to close her hands back up,
"Stop! you're scaring him!" she accuses, though there's a smile on her face.
Steve sobers up and puts down the two cracker halves in his hands to pry Robin's hands open again,
"Harold, I sincerely apologize." he offers in a gravely tone.
The bug turns around in Robin's hands.
"I think that means I'm forgiven" Steve says, looking up at her.
Robin chuckles and gently places the bug on top of Steve's left knee, moving to sit beside him.
Steve smiles at Harold before looking at her from the side,
"You having fun?" Steve checks in,
Robin smiles at him, throws her right arm around him and leans her chin against his shoulder.
"I am!" she answers "How about you?" she asks in return, half hugging him.
Steve presses his cheek against her in appreciation, just for a moment before he answers,
"Yeah, I'm having fun too" he smiles,
"Good. I wasn't lying earlier, when I said that suits you" Robin points out, drawing back without letting go of him, to look up at Eddie's bandana still on his hair.
Steve feels his cheeks start to burn.
"Shutup." he mutters defensively "he's-" Steve turns to look at Eddie, who's now fanning the flames of the fire he started and fanning himself every couple of seconds, making the few strands of hair that fell from his bun flap about wildly.
Steve can't help the smile on his face.
"Great. He's just great" he says honestly, feeling a little in awe of just how much he really likes Eddie.
Robin lets go of him only to jab her elbow in his ribs,
"See!" she says "I knew you had to make a move!"
"You were right." Steve concedes, "Not that I'm- I just mean he didn't seem put-off or anything when I tried flirting a little,"
"Of course he didn't! Steve!!" she protests,
"I know. I know," Steve says, reminded of the many times they've discussed his insecurities.
He relays his conversation with Jonathan then, and she listens, pointing out that putting it all together definitely makes it clear why Eddie hadn't made a move yet, and how Steve definitely has a chance.
"Yeah. I hope so," Steve says,
Robin rolls her eyes at his cautiousness and watches Harold finally fly away. Her eyes fall on Nancy, across from them.
Steve moves his eyes away to finish breaking off the last couple of crackers from the bunch.
Steve can admit he felt a pang of jealousy the first time he noticed his best friend laughing too hard at something Nancy said, but he quickly realized he was jealous of Nancy, he was worried she'd take Robin from him. An irrational fear that he also went through with Eddie, when he and Robin got close.
Whatever attempt Steve made at reviving the spark between him and Nancy in the upside down, got flipped right side up as soon as they were out of that hellish time.
Which was fortunate, because Nancy was still in a relationship back then, and Steve actually didn't feel like trying to woo the girl that broke his heart years ago.
Not to mention, they were different people now.
And he could admit now that he had freaked out. He'd seen the prettiest boy he'd ever known smirking at him and calling him metal and Steve had felt himself fall violently, far quicker than he was ready to.
So he'd grabbed on to whatever solid ground he could find, and he didn't have much of that.
It was just stupid. They hadn't really talked about it but Nancy had dropped by Eddie's room at the hospital a couple of times, she'd seen how devastated Steve was and she was never dumb. Steve could see the realization on her and luckily, the relief too.
Slowyly but surely they've arrived back to a place where Steve is glad to have her in his life again. He wouldn't hesitate to have dinner with her any day now, and every one of their friends know what they have is purely friendship.
So when he noticed her half-flirting with Robin at their job again, Steve tried to communicate to her that same understanding and relief with the same look.
And Nancy seemed like she got it.
Steve's fairly certain she and Robin would be good together, he's told Robin as much, but she disagrees, denied that she was attracted to their friend at first, and now refuses to give them a shot.
When he looks back up Robin's still looking at her, her cheeks on the verge of a smile.
Steve, done with his task, wipes his hands on his jeans.
"Are you sure there's nothing there?" Steve asks softly, for maybe the fifth time since Robin and Nancy met.
Looking back at that time now, with his own feelings out of the way, Steve can see clear as day, that Robin was into her from the start.
Robin looks at him now, and her face falls into the same caught look it always does when this comes up. She sighs,
"Are you sure you wanna ask me that?" she counters
"Robbie!"
"Dingus!"
"I want you to be happy," Steve tries,
"Even if it means I make a move on your ex?" she asks, her voice bitter,
"She's my friend too, Robs!" he protests,
"She broke your heart, Steve,"
"Years ago! And-"
"Not that many," Robin interrupts,
"And!" Steve emphasizes, "We're different people now,"
"You were practically offering her six babies not a year and a half ago," Robin points out,
"And you and I both agreed that that was a little bit crazy of me and a clear lapse in my judgement." Steve reminds her, "She doesn't want that. And I don't want that with her. I don't want anything with her beyond friendship and you know it,"
Robin doesn't look convinced.
"I don't care what you say. It would be weird." she says,
"Not for me, if that's what you're implying," Steve tells her,
"You've said that about other things when you did mind!" Robin accuses,
"And you've called me out on it!" Steve counters, "And I'm working on not doing that anymore. And it's not what I'm doing now!"
"I'm not gonna put my happiness before yours," Robin tells him,
Steve turns to her fully, straddling the log between them,
"I'm not asking you to do that, Robbie. I'm asking you not to put MY happiness before yours." he says, "Not even!" he amends, "I'm asking you not to put my comfort before your happiness."
Robin grimaces.
"What if you do mind? Down the line?" she asks,
"You can't base your decisions on hypotheticals." Steve protests, growing impatient, "And especially not on hypotheticals about my feelings, Rob!"
"Don't be an asshole. You're important to me!" she protests,
Steve sighs.
He reaches out and takes one of Robins hands in his own.
"And you're just as important to me," he tells her, "but i don't need you to protect me Robin. I'm not made of glass." he looks into her eyes as he goes on, "Yeah, maybe I'll be uncomfortable at some point, but I've been uncomfortable before and I'll be uncomfortable in the future,"
"I don't wanna be the cause of that," Robin says quietly, squeezing Steve's heart.
She moves to stradle the log too, facing Steve.
Steve offers her a soft smile.
"I know." he says, rubbing her knuckles in an attempt to reassure her, "You wouldn't be. Even if I saw you and Nance happy together and it made me uncomfortable, it wouldn't be because you decided to be with her, or because you're happy with her, Robs. It would be because she's my ex and she broke my heart. That's not on you,"
Robin looks like she wants to say something else but then changes her mind.
"It would be weird," she insists half-heartedly.
Steve understands what she doesn't say,  that she wants him to let it go.
"Okay." He concedes, taking her other hand and lacing their fingers. "Fine then. I won't bring it up again. I just ask that you don't- Don't think of me as this, this responsibility, okay? I don't wanna be that, I wanna be your best friend." he says, tugging on her hands a bit.
"Idiot." She calls him with a hesitant smile, clearly still awkward with displays of affection.
Steve chuckles. She tugs his hands towards her,
"I love you" she says.
It's not lost on Steve how this requires effort from her. He brings their hands to his lips and kisses the back of her palms, one and then the other, making her giggle.
"And I love you," Steve tells her, he untangles their hands and returns to his previous position, reaching for the big bag of marshmallows sitting next to the cooler.
"Now help me roast these," he requests, opening the bag, "this is as far as I came when I was little"
"Oh, did you have a maid that roasted your marshmallows growing up?"
"I hate youuuuuuu" Steve complains, and throws a marshmallow at her head.

That moment when you're trying to figure out if Alastor's Antisocial Personality Disorder leans more towards the sociopath or psychopath only for him to have a MAJORITY of traits on both lists.
Tumblr media
The man's out here passing all the tests I swear.
But yeah at the very least Alastor has ASPD. You only need 3 of the major symptoms to qualify and yeah. . .
I think this was discussed when the Pilot originally came out? But I figured it was worth bringing up after the end of season 1. Folks are wondering if he'll go full villain or get a redemption arc and I feel like we'll probably end up somewhere inbetween.
Like convince him it's in his personal interests to protect the hotel instead of going through with whatever current plans he has. But that convincing won't be because it's the "morally right" thing to do. And he won't suddenly stop manipulating every situation to end with the best personal outcome.
Because at this point that's just how his brain works and it can't be magic'd away with the power of friendship.

now that this season is over, i can say that i think it's pretty clear that it was rushed. a lot of people are saying that nothing much happened in it, but i feel the opposite is true -- a lot happened in it and we didn't have enough time to sit with it. characters changed behaviors way too fast, or took decisions that were not necessarily out of character but that seemed too sudden for them. i think this may be a consequence of the strike, which would also explain the reduced amount of episodes, but i really hope they fix that next season

i really want people to realize that i don’t hate lip or fiona because i think people may be starting to think that. lip’s my third favorite gallagher, i don’t like his actions and i personally believe he’s a misogynist but he is also one of the best written characters on the show

uarghhhh
emotional over the way farming games (specifically 3oT) are allowed to focus deeply on interpersonal relationships and interactions as well as special conversations and events that feel deeply meaningful despite being mundane and make you feel connected to a whole town of NPCs who you've worked with and worked to feed

Aegon is definitely not OOC. He shows off Jaehaerys like a pet but has no idea what time he should be at lessons. It's been three weeks since his coronation, three weeks since he raped Dyana. He hasn't grown as a person at all. We're just seeing different facets of him but people need to be spoonfed every trait of a character constantly to keep from spilling out of their brain. He appreciates the smallfolk because he's spent so much time drinking and whoring with them, but he has no respect for someone who obviously has more experience than him (Otto) and thinks he has more of an advantage being nice to people who were themselves forced to be nice to him when he was among them because he's a royal. He doesn't treat his mother's counsel with any respect either despite watching her rule the kingdom for years on her own. His weak moment of do you love me was just that, a weak moment. As soon as he gets drunk, he turns into a monster. He's stupid, clever, arrogant, predatory and a host of other things. People just don't think critically enough anymore in fandom.
thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. you put it perfectly into words. aegon is just acting like a child who's enjoying the novelty of newfound purpose in life. and like most addicts/abusers, he'll have his high days... then he'll have his LOW days. it's been one episode - we'll see him hit his low, probably even as soon as next episode.
this fandom makes me feel like i'm losing my mind like is it not clear that he's kind of doing a bad job at ruling/parenting? or at least, a very superficial job? is it "ooc" or are you not allowing the writers to portray him in anyway aside from the one dimensional image you already have of him in his head ??
We're just seeing different facets of him but people need to be spoonfed every trait of a character constantly to keep from spilling out of their brain.
genuinely i don't know why people just aren't using context clues anymore. just not thinking. or, holy fuck, just WONDERING? 😭whenever a character does something "ooc".... why not WONDER why they're doing it, rather than reacting so shallowly ??? some good writing advice i once saw was "don't ask 'is this action out of character for x', and rather ask, 'what would drive x to do this action'?" people are complex plsss 😭😭😭
also you make an excellent point about aegon aligning himself with smallfolk b/c he was more at home amongst them than with his noble family.
and tbh this is feeling like specifically a hotd issue? every tv show has bad takes but hotd has been genuinely unbearable. i watch other prestige tv or 'layered' shows and people seem to generally have the idea of the characters? succession, interview with the vampire, breaking bad, ozark, etc.
wondering if GOT S6-8 PTSD genuinely has made this fandom lose faith in the writing and they're choosing to take everything so face value now.

do you ship any inspector/constable duos
I know everyone likes the Inspector x Reggie but honestly I prefer the platonic nature. Just something about this lonely lonely man NEEDING his friends that just gets me
