Andrew Scott & Johnny Flynn - RIPLEY (2024) "II SEVEN MERCIES"

[confused-wanderer]

Everyone gets terrified when they see Dick put on the Cape and go into downright brooding shadow death aura mode, capturing Bruce’s scowl and glare to an uncanny extent.

They don’t know that the real reason Nightwing had to get real good real fast at transforming into batman is because in his early batman days he accidentally smiled while trying to talk down this guy from blowing up a building.

They made eye contact for a split second, before the guy burst into tears. He then proceeded to rip off the bomb, throw up, faint, wake up, throw up again before immediately running for the window of the 45th floor of a building.

I think the reason Rick fumbled with writing Jason's abilities/personality is because he was too focused on Jason existing as Percy's rival to focus on Jason as an individual character. And the funniest thing is, in the end, Jason was not considered satisfactory rival to Percy by the fandom either, which is ironic since that was the whole point of his character.

Rick seemingly screwed up the whole rivalry thing because, though he wanted someone to challenge Percy's power, he didn't want that person (Jason) to be more powerful than Percy or more enjoyable than Percy either, in the fear that the audience might start enjoying Jason more.

When you write a rival, you have to make sure that the rival character has equally powerful personality and strength/abilities compared to the person that they're rivalled with.

But Rick? The way he wrote Jason was like a half done updo. He dumped all the cool power on Percy (like potentially implying that Percy has bloodbending,can control water inside of someone, making sure Percy wins ALMOST every fight (and i mean, almost, there is a very rare time Percy ever loses) while limiting his power with Jason in every way possible, making the stupid brick jokes to make sure Jason always passes out in a fight, the whole "I only get one lighting bolt a day from my father" (it's a dumbass logic too, Jason should've been able to summon that much power of lighting on his own, he does NOT need his dad for that shit c'mon now) like it's an obvious effort to make jason appear weaker. Rick did all of this while lazily trying to shoehorn Jason's achievements in the plot by implying it but not actually showing it, like a "yeah he did this cool shit once ig" which makes it less impressive compared to Percy's achievements, which is something we've actually witnessed firsthand. Rick intentionally never brought up or expanded upon Jason's achievements much. He only emphasized everyone's awe of him being the son of Jupiter, which made it seem like Jason had the 'big three child privilege' where people didn't give a fuck about his efforts but instead his position.

Alright Rick, don't give him power, but atleast give him a personality? Nope he isn't getting that either. Jason had the potential to make DARK jokes about his controlled millitary life in Rome, and explore his past. Like I badly wanted a passage of Jason getting his memories back in fragments, Rick could've added flashbacks of Jason's past in his pov in a way that he gets his memories back. Instead he went "yeah yeah jason got all his memories back, it's all good" like SHOW us that wtf?? sure let's make sure he's as stale as possible to the audience, we can't have anyone liking the underdog over Percy Jackson!

He also made sure that Jason had it super hard in life aswell but never emphasized it or gave him anything good compared to Percy.

Don't get me wrong, percy definitely had it rlly hard, but Atleast Rick made sure Percy had a loving mom and a stepdad, a loving girlfriend and a cute adorable sister that he could play and spend time with, he got to celebrate birthdays with Sally, he got to eat her tasty blue food, and he actually had an ambrosia taste. You mean to tell me that Jason's sister barely had time for him, that he hasn't had a single birthday and that ambrosia tastes like sawdust for him while you give the other members of the seven, delicious ambrosia taste? 😤

Jason Grace has gotten the worst life in his own story, he wasn't "powerful" enough for a child of Zeus, he was "boring" , nobody properly trusted him, he died painfully, he didn't have parents, he barely talked to his sister, he didn't have a childhood, he was abandoned to blood thirsty animals when he was TWO, he didn't have a birthday, he didn't have an ambrosia taste, his girlfriend dumped him, he never got to see his best friend before he died, and he is terribly hated by the fandom who are simply turning a blind eye to his struggles because "no Percy will always be better in every way" yeah. I could go on and on.

I’m sorry as of now in the series Jace Stardiamond they could never make me hate you. Bro has been so stressed this year literally let him be evil as a treat. He’s a single mom who works two jobs and loves his kids and never stops with gentle hands and the heart of a fighter. He’s a survivor.

The fact that some Buddie fans think Buck and Eddie should cheat respectively on Tommy and Marisol and get together makes me so upset. I find it so weird.

First of all, cheating is gross. It’s gross. The ends to NOT justify the means here. I don’t care if you don’t ship Tuck or you don’t ship Eddie and Marisol, I don’t care. The ends do not justify the means. and if someone you knew had ended up cheating, you’d be upset. Don’t be weird.

Second, Buddie deserves a better start than that. Buddie deserves better after five seasons than a drunk, cheating hook up. We deserve better than having both Eddie and Buck cheat on their respective partners and be like oh well we cheated so let’s get together!

Can y’all just let this QUEER relationship breathe without coming up with ways to ruin Tuck and Buddie? Like please.

ive officially entered the stage of OC brainrot where i start putting him in outfits for fun and (zero) profit

[sunflower-eddiediaz]

i just re-read my first 911 fic and i still love the idea of eddie physically leaning on buck, and buck panicking for a moment thinking eddie is falling on him only to realize that "my best friend, eddie diaz, of sound mind and body, just decided to rest his head on my shoulder" and then he can't stop smiling

[thisisridiculois]

Finished watching 911 the other day so I started following all the tags here on Tumblr bc some glimpses of the fandom (like when it trended last year when Buck was shown to be bi) is what made me want to watch the show in the first place. However. Lots of people on here are just being bitchy to each other. I feel like I can't find a blog where the person doesn't seem to viscerally hate the opposite ship. Like. If you don't have to get along (tho that would be nice) but I would appreciate just like...ambivalence. Neutrality. Some basic respect perhaps. Idk. I wanna be able to be excited about the new season but I feel like the comments on every post is people fighting and being negative. ANYWAY. Does anyone want to talk about any of the other characters? I like Hen, who wants to talk about Hen?

From 17:50 of Skizz's Secret Life Ep 4 POV:

Skizz: I'll put in three more raffle tickets for you. What it means, though, is that if you don't win, then you become one of the people who gifts to whoever the winner is, so they would now they get 4 hearts or whatever.

Etho: What if I... What if I make the condition that I'll only gift to Joel?

Bdubs: /speaker flashes as he starts to speak, then holds his tongue

Etho: Does that buy me anything?

Skizz, trying not to laugh: No, that does nothing... That means nothing to me.

cregan’s issue is the same as corlys which is ya kno never seeing his girl heir as an heir period. so just like corlys brings marilda’s boys to rhaenyra to legitimize instead of pushing for baela or rhaena to inherit, cregan decides to remarry for a THIRD time even though he has a granddaughter and SEVERAL daughters who could inherit. they’re perfectly happy to bow to a woman when it’s convenient, when it fits into their own honor codes and benefits them, but when it comes to their own families, their own legacy, only a man is good enough. when it comes to the it it’s like - aegon the younger has BEEN heir, and was already named the next king by the time cregan gets there, BY corlys, who goes along with the green style inheritance of saying aegon iii is aegon ii’s successor through daemon’s line, likely imo bc he just wants the war to stop and thinks getting rhaenyra’s last son on the throne is good enough (bc he doesn’t get it!! it’s why he pushes rhaenyra to name men over women with better claims during the dance; he’s not about disrupting the system, he only supports rhaenyra bc it benefits him!).

baela isn’t being denied the crown because not a single person including baela herself thinks she’s a viable contender and that’s the result of aegon ii being the last monarch & adult targaryen alive in the capital, and not anything cregan or to some extent, corlys, does; jaehaerys’ ideology is what the greens are fighting for and jaehaerys’ ideology is what wins and the person to blame for both jaehaera & baela not being viable contenders for the throne is aegon ii himself. but jeyne arryn is right there!! too bad it doesn’t matter, bc in a situation where cregan and corlys actually do have the power to go “i have the ability to just support my girl heir” they choose a boy. it’s just like cat says it’s just like borros lord misogynist himself says - a daughter is nice but ahhh a son. a son is more important!

Okay but for all we know Saw and his buddies picked Tech up (alive) on Eriadu.

best buds (cries violently)

[I.D. two photos of an eight panel comic featuring jessica and skully from marble hornets. in panel one jessica and skully sit on a couch together and jessica says "so, you know how i don't remember much about, uh..." in panel two skully looks over and continues with "the ones i carry?" jessica awkwardly confirms "y-yeah.." in panel three jessica has a sheepish expression, looking to the side and rubbing her neck with her hand while she asks "well, i guess i was wondering.. do they... remember me?" skully ponders in panel four, answering "hmm, it can be dificult to find the source, but i can try to pinpoint some emotions carried through me- recognition, disinterest, unfamiliarity," jessica looks up in panel five as skull continues with "relief, joy," and she smiles softly in panel six as skull ends with "and longing." in the final two panels jessica smiles and hugs skully, who looks down at her with surprise at first, then places a hand around her back as tufts of hair from jay and amy peek out from behind their hood. end I.D.]

Just posting this for the ppl who LOVE to push the FANON narrative that Jason and Percy aren't close friends as CANON. Grover is listed as Percy's main best friend (along with Annabeth ofc but she remains in the girlfriend category) and Jason comes literally SECOND in the Official Riordan wiki fanpage, and he's even labelled as "one of percy's best friends" not just "friend" or "close friend" like the others.

I don't get why people deny this SO bad like- pls let the almost nonexistent rivalry they both had (which is mostly between Jason and Percy fans) stay fanon.

"Jason and Percy are just co workers, barely even friends" Yup. Sure. I was so mislead by this narrative before I picked up HOO and was pleasantly surprised by how genuine percy and jason's friendship was in the books.. I half expected them both to ignore eachother or something throughout the scenes with how much the fandom exaggerated their rivalry/coldness with eachother.

Fanon is awesome. But it's not when you push it as canon. Let them be two seperate things please.

[blossoms-phan]

they won’t ever call themselves a couple bc they’re so much more than that
