I have no expectations of Buck and Tommy getting back together, but if they do, I would love love love for the episode to be called "Tommy, Actually". I would love it if it was interlaced with different little moments we never got to see.

When Buck first met Tommy.

When Tommy introduces himself to Buck's sister and Buck's parents at the wedding at the hospital.

Tommy getting ready alone for the medal ceremony. Having no friends or family coming, no, not until Buck comes over to greet him, bringing the entire 118 with him. The deleted scene with Hen and Karen. Tommy taking a moment alone to react to the fairy implied comment from Gerrard and maybe Buck coming over to him.

Buck telling Tommy what Bobby told him about being good people.

Tommy hearing about Bobby in the hospital and asking Buck about it. Tommy confusedly hearing through texts about the Kim situation. Maybe cooking the dinner for Buck as he waits for him to come home.

Tommy reacting to the bee and plane emergencies.

All the small moments with Buck at the loft or at his own place. Muay Thai and flying lessons. Karaoke Trivia. That scene in the car during Masks. The takeout they ate the night before their anniversary.

Hell, I want moments with Tommy building his relationships back up with the people at the 118 too.

Watching movies together with Chimney. Basketball with Chimney and Eddie. Drinking at the bar with Hen and Chimney. Muay Thai and more Las Vegas excursions with Eddie. Talking flying and space with Hen. Talking Buck with Maddie.

A contrast to the emptiness of his life before meeting Buck; his life after the breakup.

Hell, if we're making lists of things we want here, I'd love this to be intercut with the relationship that fucked Tommy up. Or even relationships.

How bad was his father to him? What did his father say to hurt Tommy in a way that kept him in that closet? What about his mother?

What about the military? What trauma lay in the army for Tommy?

Who was the man who hurt Tommy? Who told him he wouldn't be someone's last if he was someone's first? Who made him feel like no one could ever truly choose him first?

Intercut it with a rescue.

A helicopter rescue where Buck joins Tommy in his helicopter. And despite the awkwardness, things are going well up until some malfunction in the helicopter that Tommy couldn't control. That the person who had been originally flying the helicopter didn't catch in the inspection of it before taking off.

So, the helicopter is crashing.

And Tommy does his best to land it as safely as he can given the circumstances.

And Tommy's hurt. He's severely hurt and everyone besides he, Buck, and the knocked out patient are dead. And sure, Tommy tries not to think about the injury, but Evan can read Tommy like a book.

He can tell.

Buck forces Tommy to take it easy; let Buck give him first aid. And while Tommy isn't as mobile as he would like to be, he and Buck are a fantastic team when it comes to problem solving and figuring out a way to get the patient and themselves to the location where another helicopter will pick them up to bring them to the hospital.

And Tommy doesn't know why Buck cares.

He's scrambling to understand; he just can't. Not with the voices of everyone who hurt him in his head. Not with how he practically ghosted everyone at the 118 after he broke things off with Buck.

Became insular again.

Became alone again.

All of Tommy's worst qualities seem to creep up; flood his mind and it all culminates with a fight with Evan. A fight where Tommy is arguing against helping himself; against wanting Tommy.

Because Tommy's not worth it.

He's not worth anything.

And, damn it, Buck's fighting back. Evan gives Tommy everything he's got; all his anguish and hate and confusion and love.

So much love.

And maybe it ends with yelled I love yous from them both before something happens.

Something that almost hurts Buck, but Tommy pushes Buck out of the way; saves Buck's life. Hurts himself.

Because he's not worth it.

He was never worth it.

And he blacks out, distantly hearing Buck screaming his name.

And. Tommy wakes up in a hospital. Alone. And he assumes that's all that it is and ever will be. He was always alone. He always will be alone.

Then.

The 118 come in.

Rightfully mad about Tommy ghosting them. Worried about Tommy.

And maybe Tommy realizes that, well, maybe he has a home now. He has found a home with Evan; with the 118. That his fears that people will leave him behind won't come true. That he could be part of their family. That he was allowed to want that.

And when Buck rushes over, the rest of the team gives Buck the room. And Tommy confesses everything; his fears; his love; his wants and dreams and Buck confesses back too. And they say their I love yous again.

And it ends with them having a small, easy moment in the hospital. Evan getting Tommy coffee. Maybe Tommy saying, "Mmmm. Just like that." And. Holding each other's hands. Just. Smiling. Paralleling their coffee date.

Yeah.

That would be a good Tommy, Actually.

(alan wake-gravity falls crossover) man i love that character. you know, the deeply paranoid author who made a pact with a dark entity that ultimately ended with him stranded in another dimension separated from his loved ones for years at a time? takes place in the pacific northwest? has twin imagery associated with him and a reoccurring specific piece of symbology related to the unfortunate situation they're in? doesn't ever explain the reasoning behind his actions and instead just kinda goes "bro trust me"? yeah he also wears an outer layer of clothing with elbow pads on it, that one.

#my art #stanford pines #alan wake (the man)#ford pines #gravity falls #alan wake #remedyverse #SAtT au #i am. normal about the crossovers i make up.#what do you mean the esoteric weird horror game about stories and the disney cartoon about family dont have a shared audience. sounds fake.#anyways the comic on the right is in honor of a joke i had to scrap in my fic wip due to a perspective switch.#rip that joke i thought you were pretty funny. i like the idea of alan critiquing his own manuscript pages upon the events happening.#oh i should probably do a warning since theres that crunchy image of the aw2 alan death screen huh. uh #blood #aw2 alan death screen my beloved. literally made me go ''oh god'' out loud in shock and horror when i first saw it #anyways did you know theres an au to this objectively already an au crossover. i call it ''bill cipher gets sent to the shadow realm''#bill doesn't show up a lot in this au he gets one scene where he taunts ford abt alan being a danger #with the implication that the dark place/presence genuinely freaks him out. but in this self indulgence of a self indulgence #alan essentially manages to trick bill into swapping places with him and bill ends up trapped in the writers room/the dark place.#lmao get yötön yö'd idiot. YOU are aleksi kesä now.#also i like the idea of zane and bill meeting as well as door and bill meeting. i think they might scare bill a little bit.#just like how zane scares me <3 what a cool character what the fuck is his deal #also you may be wondering why alans in his aw2 look and not aw or awan look despite the fact that lines up closer #to when gravity falls happens-ish. well the answer to that is 1: the crossover uses a lot of the elements from aw2 #and 2: i like alans long hair and suit and beard. i like the pathetic sopping look when his hair is in his face

every time i finish lovm episodes thinking they got about 70% of it honestly better than c1 and that i am willing to actually wait for payoff i log on here and people hate that shit lol

#i dont like every change but those were definitely among the best sets of episodes they released #i really do not care about order of operations or specificity i dont feel like they fucked it up i just think they had to change shit #maybe we should just admit cr's pacing well beyond c3 would not survive a writers cutting room floor and move on #theyre still hitting nearly every emotional beat. thordaks death absolutely stunned me here and in campaign #maybe ive watched enough adaptations to know what adaptation means but it's definitely among the best #maybe im just tired of snooty c1 fans always. *knows m9 fans will be endlessly worse* oh no #also what is with cr fans and having completely utter permanence because. im very confident kash dying. or glintshore not finishing.#or devo'ssa. are very obviously not finished. sometimes waiting is a fun game #van speaks #tlovm spoilers

Castiel's acts as god:

kills a bunch of angels in heaven (implied to be the ones who backed Raphael) and gives a big speech about following him

makes a hypocritical homophobic priest choke on his own tongue in the middle of his service

forces the K/K/K to disband (Dean: "Can't argue with that one")

lightning strikes (after a fire) the "Center for Vibrational Enlightenment" which is "the largest loss in new age motivational speaker history"

cures leprosy

conscripts Crowley into his service

explodes a publishing house

restores a blind man's sight

releases Death's binding to Sam and Dean

slaughters a bunch of people working a Republican looking (that's a lot of red on those signs; wink-wink) campaign (while going after the candidate specifically)

returns the souls to Purgatory.... but not all of them (dun dun dun)

#just listing them as i watch 7x01 #also i didn't remember the new age motivational speakers bit at all. it made me laugh #publishing house?? that's all they say??? what were they publishing?#paige rambles on #i felt like making a list #i think i got most of em #spn 7x01 #godstiel #castiel #oh to be a fly on the writer's room wall when they came up with these

saw the new alien movie! it was. um. well. there certainly was an alien in it

#my post #im so bad w names idk who anyone was except for andy #but why did the main girl have exactly equal amounts of chemistry with both the brother and sister characters #i mean like good for her. movie was a roller coaster of its so over were so back every time i thought the sister died #anyways the resident evil baby was not pleasant and i did not like him. wheres my babygirl the xenomorph #ALSOOO THE ROBOT FROM THE ORIGINAL WAS THERE. BUT HE WAS CERY MUCH CG AND BAD LOOKING #LIKE THEY DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB. ESP WITH THE MOUTH. WHAT WAS WRONG W HIS TEETH….#one thing i did like was the incredibly literal chekovs gun. someone in the writers room googled that immediately before writing that scene #the gun lasting on 1% ammo longer than the other 99% was so funny #what else is there to say about this movie #oh. oh. andy.#autistic robot trope. ok. alright. forgivable.#…….so like why was the only black person in the movie programmed to serve a white person. like. im not crazy right. that was fucking weird #right. im apparently the only one in my familu who noticed but. thats not. who allowed this. why did no one stop this.#uhhh overall. it was ok. dialogue sucked ass. there were like 7000 xenomorphs for some reason.

all AmagiPs and AiraPs should get to beat whoever wrote Matrix to death with sticks actually

#enstars #fandom rants #<- oh i havent used this tag in ages. anw #i blocked the story out of my mind the minute the event finished but i just thought about it for the first time in months and like. yeesh i #was really that bad huh. alkakureiPs really waited that long for that shit.....ben affleck smoking.jpg #the amagiP bit is obvious given. gestures to the aira microaggressions + whatever the fuck they did with the amagi village #the airaP bit is bc. seriously what the fuck was the point in having aira do all that. like this isnt me pardoning what he did in the story #but seriously. what did this add to the story what did this add to aira's character except make him SO much more dislikeable. which looking #at this from a money standpoint was a TERRIBLE MOVE?? like what is the point??!!! they even had a moment in the story where aira gets #reprimanded for the shit he's been saying. and then they just? have him continue doing it? like what was the point???#someone is projecting so damn hard in that fucking writer's room #no wonder they had to lock down on showing who wrote the stories after this one. if i were in japan i wouldve done smthn drastic /hj

my love. i am obsessed with the arkhamverse so i’m here to say you HAVE to read Arkham Knight Genesis. it’s one of my favorite jason stories ever and it’s only 6 issues so it’s not even like a time commitment <3 it’s so so good as an elseworlds story and you don’t even really have to know a lot about the games to read it <3333

Okay so I just binge read it quickly and realised 2 issues in I had already read the comic before but I don't care bc you are so right Lauren it is such a good read the art work fantastic Jason being evil and competent amazing I desperately need to play this game just to see more of this version of Jason

#ask #roseworth #its been so long i had completely forgot #but i got to the scene with jason and the library in his room #and was like oh shit this is this comic!!!#completely forgot the name of it so thank you so much !!!!#also side note #i think this is also one of the comics white knight is based on #idk alot of it just reminded me of that also elseworld story #especially bc i can see how someone might read it and think jason was the first robin #which the writer of white got confused about #anyway great comic #does do the willis and cath were shite parents thing #but elseworld story so i dont really care lol

#i'd share pics if it didn't dox me a little #but it's SO SAD #PLS #i needed to see her... curiosity got me. i dream of this house genuinely nearly every night #but like. oh my god.#this is probably for the best bc it means i cant romanticize about buying this home again one day and expecting it to look at all like #it did #but they literally took down to bare bones and reshaped her and ohh my god #babes there was so much gorgeous wood work in that house #there was an accent exposed brick wall in the living room #the open layout was still closed off Enough to feel like separate rooms. but they opened it even more #AND THEY TOOK AWAY THE BARSTOOL/COUNTER AREA ?? IM SO CONFUSED #WHY WOULD U DO THAT #YOU COULD SIT AT THIS GORGEOUS BLACK GRANITE COUNTER AND EAT SITTING IN THE LIVING AREA AS SOMEONE YOU LOVE SERVED YOU A MEAL DIRECTLY FROM #THE KITCHEN #i'm not genuinely bent out of shape about this btw. i just had to share this somewhere sldkjfdskl #people will buy YOUR childhood home and make it ''''MODERN.'''' it will happen one day to YOU #they will paint the walls GRAY & take the pussy out of her TOO (the walls were warm deep yellows/oranges/reds. bedrooms were lighter blues)#THEY TOOK AWAY THE WARM COLORED TILES OF THE LIVING AREA AND REPLACED IT WITH UGLY WOOD FLOORING ???#THEY REMOVED THE MOLDINGS ENTIRELY ??#NO MORE WINDOW LEDGES ??????#WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE #praying that these were In Progress pics and somebody has returned love to this home since bc. my god #again vague for my own safety but i moved out within the last decade and the home was resold in the last 5 or so years and thats when these #pics r from i think. so they've had time to fix her since #and boy was she a fixer upper after the horrors that happened inside those walls </3 ASLKDFJSAK #i should literally just write about this and instead i'm posting on tumblr #yeah that's life. that's being a tumblrina writer.#personal #.txt

I forgot to watch Survivor tonight and instead watched a 60 minute long video essay called Martha Jones Deserved Better (And Other Correct Doctor Who Takes)

youtube

I regret nothing.

#martha jones #doctor who #forgot to watch survivor is a strong way of putting it by the way #it was more i didn't feel like sitting through commercials so i'm just gonna watch it tomorrow instead.#the first 2/3-ish of this video are about RTD and Martha and then the last half is about Moffat era mostly River #anyway. i have 2 small complaints about this video:#1) the angel sending amy to the same time as rory had canonical precedent from billy shipton in blink landing in 1969 too #so i get it seems very 'oh of COURSE she conveniently will end up in the same time'#because prior to that point there was the complaint of weeping angels going from scary to stupid #but that aspect of the angels was there from the beginning #2) i adore clara so i'm sad the video creator has 'avoid-Clara-itis' or however she worded it #but i get it.#a small third minor complaint is that the creator said she has been wary of properly watching Bill's season #and also Jodie's seasons because she is scared of more mistreatment of companions of color #and she seems to not be aware of the existence of Ruth!Doctor at all. i hope she'll like her.#but i hope that she does watch it eventually. especially because Bill was a definite improvement.#almost purposefully meant to be like 'yes Martha had a scene like this but this time Bill gets a better outcome'#and she also says she wanted to know who was in the writing room for Jodie's era and that's one of the best things about Chibnall #that for episodes like Rosa and Demons of the Punjab the co-writers were people of color from the specific cultures #anyway besides those small things i was watching this video like girl you are preaching to the choir #highly recommend for all my fellow Martha Jones Defense Squad members #Youtube

also just to say I'm probably not going to speculate about much until s3 comes out (could change though, I have a terrible track record when it comes to this), mostly bc I don't have time or energy and bc I saw last time how much speculating can interfere with enjoying the experience of watching a new season and also the number of dumb takes you see from people w zero media literacy but let's not bring that up again

#young royals #young royals s3 #young royals season 3 #like I'm tired from school and reading theories is fun but we've gotten maybe a minute of footage total from s3 guys #let's not go too overboard #also I will get violent if the delusion and anons arguing about irrelevant shit post-s2 makes a return in march #don't even think about it. we are going to sit down as a fandom and watch the show as the writers intended it to be #and we will have a good time making more post s3 analyses and breakdown posts one last time right??? right???#theorizing and predictions are good and fun! there's nothing wrong with that! god knows I will do some minor speculating in the future!#just DO NOT try to act like you have been in the fucking writers' room :) I think I have enough people blocked for that to stay off my dash #but I know most of my mutuals were here last year and oh my GOD the number of posts #acting like s2 was bad just because they thought their predictions were better or just bc their speculation turned out to be just that #actually painful to scroll through and filter out #anyway enough of my complaining our boys are back :3 I missed my children <33

One of my least favorite tropes is when a character says “I’ve never liked/always hated you” to a villainous character but they used to bully that character before they turned bad. And for some reason neither character brings this up during the scene.

#i’m mostly thinking of harvey bullock and ed nygma from gotham and the deep and a-train from the boys #harvey had the nerve to say ‘i never liked you even before you went crazy’ so you were just picking on him for no reason then???#and oh boy the deep/a-train scene don’t even get me STARTED (too late)#‘deep i’ve always hated your ass’ is not the serve you think it is a-train i’m sorry #but as lazy as that line is it’s still better than the godawful monologue the deep gives annie before their fight #like i don’t doubt the deep feels some resentment towards her for trying to ‘ruin him’ or whatever but they didn’t give him good dialogue #instead they just had chace crawford recite a bunch of buzzwords from twitter (‘you tried to CANCEL me but it didn’t work sweetheart’)#like…is that really what the deep would say in that moment? is that really HOW he would say it?#the deep/a-train confrontation was a missed opportunity too!!!#i wish when a-train said that the deep was like ‘yeah i know…? i figured when you were fucking mean to me for years for no reason’#it would’ve felt REAL and PERSONAL #and to see the deep’s mask slip?? he’s always sooo broey and friendly with ppl who clearly hate him #which i guess is a joke about how un-self aware he is but it’d be cool to see him say ‘i know we’re not really friends dude. i just act this #way bc i don’t know how else to be’ it would’ve made the deep more sinister AND more interesting in a few short lines #it would’ve added so much character to the deep gawdddd #get me in that writer’s room so i can save the deep from kripke

OK…just a lil rant here…I’m overjoyed that “nobody” died, but NOTHING really happened in that season(series?)finale!!! YES IT SEEMED LIKE A SERIES FINALE(did they do that cos it’s gonna be some years til S4 or was that it for The Mandalorian??? Din and Grogu will return in Rangers of the New Republic or the Filoni flick???🤦‍♂️)!!! It’s hard to believe that Disney would want it to end, but it felt like it. I was lovin this season, but the last episode made me feel like I’d been EDGED without getting to CUM!!! NOTHING HAPPENED!!! FAVREAU LIT THE FUSE AND THE SHIT WENT OUT!!! Yes it’s the RETURN of Mandalore, but that’s about it. Axe Woves didn’t betray them(or the new Mando guys…Armorer always been ride or die so who were the SPIE(S)plural🤪?!)…Din and Bo didn’t get together(after what felt like a build up over this entire season…so unfulfilling😩)…they lost IG-11(no wait 12)again(no wait he’s back as IG-11)…the Mythosaur opened it’s eye again…BIG WHOOP-DE-DOO!!! Grogu was already Din’s son(and WTF is this Din Grogu shit?!) I feel like I just got a swirlie! 🙃🚽 There’s always something that Favreau annoys the piss outta me with! 😒 Dude destroyed prob the dopest lightsaber ever in a Star War(I get it though, but STILL)! Gideon isn’t dead(there’s a reason he didn’t have the mustache…it was his CLONE)!!! IDK man I was beginning to think ol Jon’s writing was a little better this time around, but holy heck that was meh. I do enjoy a happy ending in Star Wars, but it felt too BLAND to me!!!🤨

p.s.-WHAT ABOUT R5?!😵

i know it's been said a gazillion times and said more eloquently than me but god the amount of missed potential in the sequel trilogy. thinking about how anakin became a villain because he felt he had no other choice (and the tragedy being that he always had a choice, and his character arc concluding with him deciding to stand up for what's right by saving luke), meanwhile kylo grew up surrounded by a loving family full of positive role models and chose evil knowingly because he craved power for power's sake. kylo idolizing the tragic figure of darth vader all the while burning the world around him. there was so much you could do with that but instead they had to sacrifice rey's character to make the movies about her fixing the genocidal white boy who never wanted to be saved

#rereading tfa junior novel...#tfa wasn't perfect but it really did set up a lot of interesting stuff! that never got proper attention (if it did at all)!#mitch rambles #sw #sw negativity #and of course the nature vs nurture with kylo vs finn. why the hell did they never get a rematch after tfa. like that would have so good #having finn now on solid footing knowing that this (the fate of the galaxy) is worth fighting for and his now realized self #kicking kylo's pathetic ass into the next galaxy #also why tf did rey get force healing in tros when finn was ren's (characterized by destruction) narrative foil #like i know it's sidelining finn bc racism and making rey super special and powerful in lieu of actual characterization & bc they didn't #actually care about the story they were telling but y'know. 'why' best conveys my bafflement with the thematic flops situation #anyway back to kylo. u could have him tentatively going lightside-ish at the end of the final movie bc star wars redemption themes and all #but you'd have to have him very very very clearly giving up power (or accepting a forced loss of it) for it to work! like themes 101 people #like 'oh i did a bad thing by killing my dad :(' cool but are we gonna address the root cause of why you did that? (or your other crimes)#it's bc he was representative of how morals still had some power over you and u hated that because u need to be stronger than anything else #i don't think any of this ground-shaking breakthroughs like your room full of writers couldn't work out any of that. does nobody know what #a theme is? people were payed big money to make those movies??? (this is not about set/sound/costuming/etc you did great)#*sigh*#store wore posting

im thinking about how they made oswald such a stereotypical gay man. like really old stereotypes that people don't even seem to perpetuate the modern day. but gotham had to. they went ok lets give this fag an overbearing mother and absent father. oh and make him overly neurotic. oh and also let's pull the 1950s trope of the homicidal homosexual. and so they did and then the entire series is like "let's see how much we can make this gay man suffer." there's not really a Point to this post i just find it interesting bc it stood out to me so much and ive talked to my friends about it but no one else online seems to have mentioned it

which is crazy bc the only thing you could do to make him any more stereotypically gay would be to make him extra flamboyant and really into theater and do drugs and listen to amy winehouse.... but they had to save those stereotypes for the other gay lmao

#the homicidal part is fine bc everyone in this show is the killer #and im also a gay stereotype ig bc i think thats sexy #but like. is no one else picking up on the classic stereotypes #of him being such a momma's boy #and oh the neurosis #look i love gotham. its so camp. but they would have benefited so much from more diversity in the cast and writers room #like imagine gotham but gay people are allowed to be gay and women are allowed to exist without being absorbed into the jim vortex #and if less than 99% of the cast were white. and if they didnt have to bend over backward ti avoid politics to the point of absurdity #like yeag in gotham crime exists because everyone is either evil or insane. and people are only poor because theyre stupid and need #guidance from some random white woman to tell them that stealing from each other is not productive actually. and no one has ever thought of #this before #and police brutality is bad but also good sometimes. if jim does it its good. unless he does it in a bad way. the morals are arbitrary #what im saying is gotham is insane #its an insane tv show full of horrible stereotypes and nonsensical writing #and yet its soooooooo fucking good #its so fitting that its on tubi bc thats exactly where a show like gotham belongs #right up there with such classics as shark side of the moon and zombie shark and other various nonsense #like again to be clear i fucking love gotha #gotham*#and its so good it made me start reading comics #which i formerly had no interest in #like im fully in my gotham obsession era #i just also yell at the screen a lot while watching #i would not be criticizing a show this much if i did not ultimately enjoy it and think it is worth watching
