Back on my bullshit.

I've got a lot of questions, on how the TBBshow works exactly?

Cos yeah, its been clear for a long time, it doesn't want you asking questions because it will just, fall apart at the seams and go from Frankestein's monster to Frankenstein's ground floor beef.

Like, basic shit. Here's the Plot breaking questions:

HOW DID THEY RECRUIT STORMTROOPERS SO FAST? If they could just, recruit people out of the blue like that, like, Immediately Post-War side, not even 24 hours after the destruction of the Jedi Temple. Where the did they come from? And if they could just, come in like that, why weren't there any natborn armies during the Clone Wars itself? Recruitment takes a long time. Boot camps, at minimum, take 3 months real world. So, Plot Hole 1: Spawning Stormtroopers with Cheat Codes.

WHY DIDN'T THE CLONE ARMY REBEL? If the argument is, that the chip just Wears off, and we know that our troops can and will just rebel against bad officers (We've seen it happen), and that they all do have a pretty strong moral backbone in general... ... How come when this, so called "Wear off" occurred, we didn't see a rebellion enmass? Especially after Kamino's destruction? Still can't recruit and train people that fast, and there's still an entire clone army, and its pretty clear that the show claims there are lots of clones in the ranks and hiearchy... Clearly, it must not just "Wear Off". Plot Hole 2: Attempting to claim that established Sci-Fi Brain Tumors isn't Sci-Fi Cancerous.

WHY IS EVERYTHING EVERWHERE ELSE? Where is Cody? What's going on with Rex and his Rebellion? Why did Echo join that exactly, and how come the Batch couldn't be convinced? Why the fuck is Ventress even There. The story (and its writers) keep wanting to push that "Everything is going to occur at a later time". Well, mothers and fuckers of the audience, if Star Wars were to end tomorrow, like full on Vault Sealed Forever, or nobody has access to these "other stories" either by money or medium--then no, the Story didn't happen somewhere else--it simply Didn't Happen at all. Thus, teasing stories that simply Aren't, and refusing to fill in the story that Is. Plot Hole 3: The Excitement is Farther than the Galaxy Far Far Away

PABU The Empire knows about Pabu, it bombed it for the sake of the Force. You tellin' me that, after Tantis was done, Pabu just magically regerated with anti-Evil Empire shields? And that it wasn't immediately placed under Imperial control like EVERY PLANET TBB HAS ESTABLISHED SO FAR!? Plot Hole 4: You don't need to see their identification, this is not the planet you are looking for.

EMERIE KARR I like her concept, so I'm gonna be picking on her execution. So female clone that is effectively a narrative clone of Omega, except if Emerie existed at the same time as the Bad Batch (likely as its hinted 5th member) and the Clone Wars, as we're supposedly meant to believe that Omega did--how come Omega didn't know about her before. Where the fuck was she. Why would Hemlock be finding a random clone in nowhere space and decide that she was sexy enough to be the sexy lady evil scientist? Her concept is great, but current execution breaks the timeline. Plot Hole 5: Omega split into Omega 2 by Mitosis

HOW ARE THEY BROTHERS EXACTLY? How are our Main Characters brothers? I don't mean in the literal sense, I mean in the sense of "These guys are brothers in arms thick and thin, been through so much shit and came together in support in the face of adversity" And yet, the only thing we see is, bickering, no conversations, refusal to confront topics that directly affect them with each other, obsessing about anything else but actually talking to each other, abandoning each other at a moment's notice for one bullshit thing after another without discussion. Utterly ignoring each other when lives are on the line... Leaving one for Dead... Claiming that they're trying to protect their child sister in order to give her a place to grow up, but insist on bringing her on every dangerous mission ever, treating her as a child soldier... ... When they could've just robbed the stupid lizard bitch and been on that isolated planet they were talking about in Episode 2 before the end of Season 1. After a certain point, I think I should be calling The Galactic Child Protective Services Plot Hole 6: With Brothers like these, who needs enemies?

KILLING A MAIN CHARACTER (Aka "oh my gods they killed Kenny") In congruent to the above Plot Hole. They killed Tech, where's the fallout? Where's the effect? Are you telling me that Mayday, a random one episode clone, was more narratively important than Tech, who's been with us for years? And that's just the written death. The narrative deaths have occurred to all the Bad Batch. this bad ass squad who works together like instinct, is suddenly failing at everything, like its their first day off Kamino. Even though, by the show's own visual environmental storytelling, the Batch have been performing missions together since the first battle of Geonosis. They're more experienced than the Republic Commandos by those tally mark counts in their room wall. And yet, inspite of the visual story telling and the Clone Wars, and every piece of Clone Media prior to this Ever, they're suddenly the big bumbling buffkins who can't operate without running headfirst into the nearest beehive. Character deaths themselves occured... ... From Hunter being a generally snarky, one of the guys, who puts on a show of leadership for the Reg's sake--because a shallowed out parody of Optimus Prime and Captain Rex. ... To Crosshair, a snippy, keen if cruel sniper but with a heart of empathy, reduced to a hyper soldier even without the tumor. When this is the kind of man who would pick a fight with god on toothpick power alone. ... To Wrecker, whom for some reason, suddenly lacks skills he had in the Clone Wars. ... To Tech, who no longer gives out fun facts, or even has an emotional reaction to people getting hurt, like he used to in his first introductory episodes. (Remember the horror he had when he realized the Algorithm had a Human voice?) ... To Echo, once bold and audactious, guised beyind a clone who is a seeming rule stickler--now a bitchy side piece who eventually just leaves instead of having a conversation with the very team that took him in, who reduced his once partner-batchmte Fives to a foot note. One story written death, Five Narrative Deaths, Five Character Deaths, because what was had in the Clone Wars--of which the TBBshow explicitly says its a direct sequel to--clearly wasn't here when this started. Whoever these guys are, they aren't the Bad Batch. Plot Hole 7: Fell at Sunrise and Was replaced by Mirrors

PLOT HOLE: the Rush A special mention plot hole that occurs when you place too much action in too short of time with too little thought. Effectively attempting to turn a TV show, subscription serivce or not, into a 25 minute long tiktok-vine-ytshort. Its exhausting, its Patience killing, it has no Pace; and to believe that this is a good thing, means that you are Also affected by the Rush and should probably pick up a real book or maybe play Pokemon Generation 1 or pick up a text adventure, because you are going too fast for your brain to handle it and it is not good for you. Its commercialism techniques. Don't make them the new norm.

If I've missed any plot holes, lemme know, I'll take a look. Even with my SPECIAL EYES (MY BRAND!) I can't spot everything.

Tinker Bell Theories #2

Okay, time for another hour-long lunatic's ramble, but just hear me out.

Go back to Secret of the Wings. You there? Perfect. After Tink attempts to cross the border and her wings sparkle and shimmer and all that jazz and after she goes to the healing-talents to make sure that, you know, nothing is broken or anything, the scene cuts immediately to her attempting to design gadgets to get her into the winter woods. Please keep in mind at this point, that all of Tink's friends know about the "sparkling" ...all of the girls know about the sparkling, because they were there at the healing-talent wing with her.

BUT when Tink gets back from Winter and goes directly to Clank and Bobble for help, the first thing Clank says (after, you know, the whole troll thing...really bad cover you guys) is, "does this have to do with the sparkling?"

HOW DID THEY KNOW?

Tink didn't tell them! The girls didn't tell them! And yet, somehow, they just magically know.

I smell a red herring.

And plot holes.

*looks at my multiple fanfictions* I like plot holes.

[noxdemon]

am i the only one that feels like they dropped some plotlines? specifically Roman's. The pill popping, contacting Kerry and promising her he'd get that document, him and Kendall disagreeing on the "shit on dad" tactic and Kendall doing it behind his back etc. I wanna know why they put those little things in there if they were never going to be adressed

my biggest issues with hunger games

why the heck did prim need to die? she was the reason katniss entered the games and the entire freaking rebellion happened

so the hunger games is to stop district rebellion? like, hey..we're going to take 2 of your children every year and make them fight to death so you guys don't rebel.. how stupid is that?

how is everyone ok with katniss and peeta getting married when they're like, 16 or something? hello..child marriage exists

Okay so you know how I fill plot holes even if the writers can’t to keep the fourth wall unbroken by them even if it’s a major stretch? It’s that time again. Time to solve the plot hole of El’s English fluency.

In season 1, she knows very few words. The words I can recall her knowing when we meet her and in the flashbacks are primarily “Papa” and “no”. Otherwise, she is - even in flashbacks - generally repeating words back to people to learn them. She has always had a pretty good grasp of what’s happening from context, but hasn’t known certain words.

In season 4, though, which takes us back to her 3 years before we meet her or see those season 1 flashbacks, she has her current level of fluency in English. I don’t think this is a plot hole (I mean it could be but it isn’t anymore, you’re welcome). I think this is another example of how her memories adapted to accommodate her current self.

When we remember things, we remember them at the size we were. Two prime examples of this adapting are the final scene when Henry is giving his monologue to her and it shows him leaning further down to talk to her 8 year old self in the mirror then draws back to show him talking to her and her 14 year old height. This is a small one, of course, but it is still a change. 

The more prominent one is the tunnel. When Henry shows El the tunnel, he says that only she could fit anyways, but this is hardly true. We can clearly see that it would be big enough to fit either of them...but would it? We’ve seen the other end of that tunnel and - based on the assumption that it doesn’t change size in the middle for some weird reason - we know that it is actually much smaller than is shown in the flashback. This is because visually, El remembers it being around the size to fit her, so in her 14 year old state, its size would exist in relation to her, not any form of actual measurement.

One other example is the window she sees Henry being electrocuted through. I find it more likely than being 5 feet or so off the ground that she remembers it, rather, as being the height of her head. So maybe it was likely a lower - or based on how door windows like that usually are - longer window that reached down to where her head would have been so she didn’t need to stand on anything or jump and could accidentally see it like she did.

Now for how this relates to her language comprehension. It isn’t just that in the flashbacks her language comprehension and specifically speech is better than it was. It’s that it seems to be around as proficient as it is now. Maybe slightly less, I can’t remember if she does ask for word definitions, but still, I would chock that up to having memory of asking for those. Sometimes she may have emotional memory of being confused by something that was said while other times, she may be filling in the memories with words she now knows. To present a real world example of this, I frequently communicate in ASL but as a hearing person often remember the conversations as if they were spoken.

This doesn’t hinder the story too much either - no more than the other discrepancies. Yes, it may seem odd to her in her memory that the tunnel appears to be able to fit Henry too, but it’s like a dream. Her brain tells her that it’s big enough for her and not him so she believes it and fills in the rest, whether it’s visually confirmable or not. She likely had thoughts that she had at the time that she can now retroactively put language to, so in her re-experiencing that we see of her, she does. But instead of a longer phrase like “I don’t want to do that right now”, maybe at the time she simply said, “No”, to present an example, or even just shook her head.

Who knows if the interaction went “You tricked me” “Tricked you? No, I saved you,” or if, because she likely wouldn’t have known the word “tricked” at the time, if she used a different word or even just a face she made or body language like shaking her head again or something and he may have noticed and responded with “You think I tricked you? No, I saved you” but now, with her current understanding of English, she fills it in as her having said something. But, of course, from the knowledge she did have in season 1, we know some interactions could have still been possible - like Henry asking her to come with him and her saying “no”. She knew that word.

Edit: Also, I just found out about something called “receptive fluency” which is when you can understand but not speak a language. So yeah. Also that.

Being obsessive, I must correct -- first we don't know how long after Jack reset the world Dean died. Could had time for a time hop. And angels would not need to be involved for the time travel as he gives John a letter from Henry, who also knew how to time travel and if he left a letter, clearly intended to and would have taught the boys to do so.

SPN never said John started hunting after Mary died for the first time. He could have started BACK hunting to go after yellow eyes, something he intended to die with him.

Bear with me. John is super hunter. How'd he get that way?

He met Mary and she introduced him to hunting (bc she was gonna hide that from him forever?!?) They hunted together, and then left to have the normal life she wants and he confirmed he'd wanted for the boys. In a flash act of Dean's we see the two had separated -- John having rage issues (abandoned by father and Vietnam vet, go fucking figure) and continuing to get drawn back to "just one hunt" like an alcoholic just one drink would certainly be a reason for Mary to separate from her soul mate (as established by shared heaven) to protect her sons after seeing the trauma she had over being forced into the life.

The only thing that cannot be cleared up? In past trips to the past Samuel was very clear he did not like John or consider him good enough and thought he was just a mechanic, not a men of letters legacy or hunter, yet here he knows he's both and gives as much approval as Samuel is capable of giving anyone even showing John a degree of respect. I can't make that fit into the SPN continuity, even with all the magic loopholes writers could use.

It's been an AGE...But I am plotting my return. ***RE-WRITING** Fixing Plot Holes, Adjusting Characters, TWEAKING storylines.

You know...the only thing that is stopping me full stop from writing is the fact, TOM (aka VOLDEMORT) as JK wrote him, is irredeemable. FLAT. ONE TRACK MINDED. But when he was a boy, he was INTELLIGENT BEYOND MEASURE. WHAT HAPPENED? Tearing his soul destroyed his intelligence? You know what. IN THIS FIC. Dumbledore KNOWS Tom made at LEAST 2 HORCUX. Let's say HE STOPPED at 3. It's a Significant Number. **HARRY DESTROYED THE DAIRY** **DUMBLEDORE DESTROYED THE RING*** He SET SNAPE UP TO KILL HIM. BUT, HE HAS HIS OWN HORCRUX! Unfortunately for TOM tho, he accidentally made HARRY into one. SO he has 4. If Harry has a bigger SOUL piece inside him than he did in the original books. Because he was the accidental one. What would that change for him? ***ALOT*** I'm 100% certain. So if this is the case. I need to start rewriting with these things in mind. ANYONE else want to chime in?

Charles & Erik would like to REMIND you, that YOU dragged X-Men First Class TIMELINE to Hermione's TIMELINE. What AGE DID THEY FIRST MEET?

**GOES BACK TO READ THE FICTION** apparently I wasn't direct with the age, just "pre-schooler". YET Hermione skipped grades. **HUMS TO MYSELF** BAM...Pre-schooler = 6 Years old apparently. Learn this at MACUSA.

I swear this is still my favorite part: Hermione Presenting to Board of Magical Creatures @ MACUSA

"I'm here today to request permission to perform magic in front of mutants. These people are magical, just like us and they are in need of the Statue of Secrecy's protection. Currently, the Mug–I mean, No-Maj United States Congress is attempting to force them to register themselves so they can be tracked and that will lead to persecution, which will lead to Mutant Hunts. We cannot allow this to continue. The mutant's world bleeds into ours, as they have mistaken our kind for theirs before. I was once mistaken for a mutant when I was a child, Professor Xavier came to recruit me for his school of the gifted youngsters when I was 6 years old, but when he discovered I didn't carry the mutant gene he rejected my admittance. Who's to say more no-maj borns won't be mistaken for mutants, when your magical school's do not present themselves as soon as the child manifests their magical abilities? Who's to say the Mutant Registration Act won't lead to a detrimental breach in the Statute of Secrecy that will lead to an all out war between the No-majs and Magical people?" ~ No One has a Mind Quite Like yours, Chapter 3. [AO3 LINK]

There is alot I like about my WIP, but there is many fixes I need to make. So that I can continue. I think I finally am getting to a place where I can start re-writing again. FINALLY.

I am not totally going back to the drawing board. HOWVER, I do think majority of what I have written, is going to be redone, minus a few things I ABSOLUTELY loved about the original WIP.

Now Let's hope with some Liquid Luck, I go back into a pattern of writing, so I can finish my original works as well.

My subconscious likes to enthusiastically present its brilliant solutions to me at about 4am (I write them down, thank my brain, and go back to sleep)

Sometimes you come up with the best ideas for your story while doing something else. Your subconscious mind needs to process things. So have some fun, and allow your subconscious to work, allow it to fix that plot, or flat dialogue, or long, boring paragraph.

Why does storybrooke have a random toll bridge in the middle of the forest?

[moontheoretist]

The more I watch Tate no Yuusha, the more it's obvious that the only character to which the rule of "growing with levels" actually applies is Raphtalia and Raphtalia only. Atla, Fohl, Kiel and so many other demi-humans already reached high levels by the season 3 and still look like little kids, even though by lvl 18 Raphtalia looked like a teen (episode 3 of the first season), and even older when she was lvl 24 (episode 4 of the first season). Atla is level 25 while Fohl is level 47 in episode 12 of season 3, yet they both look like kids. I don't remember Kiel's level, but it's definitely high, considering she was participating in the class-up ceremony at the Dragon Hourglass. I heard that the novel had some retcon to how demi-humans age and that anime took that retcon into account, but it's still pretty inconsistent and vague how it works. Even with further explanations in the replies to the link I gave, it's not really something that feels like it was thought out by the author well enough, because if there truly are different rates of growth per animal species, they should have been listed out by the author of the novel themselves with level thresholds, blessings and curses that can affect the rate etc.

"where was ahsoka during the original trilogy" do you think the force is nice enough to chuck her out of the wbw at the same time as ezra. do you really

My favorite thing about Dragonball Z is that one of the most iconic beam struggles in the series technically only happened because of a sorta MASSIVE plot hole.
