Thank you!!

staliaqueen is now @jessmalia!

Really thought staliaqueen was going to last longer but I got this idea from one of Jo's new urls that she's since then switched from like twice and now I don't want anything else. They're just my favourites and I think they'd be besties if they met cause they have the same brand of autism, I feel like they'd eat lunch together in complete silence and it would be a blast for them both.

Saw your post regarding Leonard and Sheldon at the beginning of the show and what they were like versus how they became… and I definitely do agree that the writers and creative minds behind the show definitely did fudged a few things over the course of the show not just with our 4A duo turned 4th floor trio once Penny’s more established in their lives, but a lot of characters and relationships.

As a person who has read and watch a lot of interviews with the folks behind the show and read the behind-the-scenes book by Jessica Radloff… Unfortunately, it’s a too common occurrence with sitcoms that have both a large main cast and it being a series that becomes so popular that it has multiple seasons.

Add the fact that Chuck Lorre - one of the minds that birthed TBBt - has personally admitted to not being the type to plan ahead, which can cause storylines/plot/canon to suffer along with character development/growth, and he’s more known for his classic mean-spirited humor and drama gags than anything else… And you have the cons and hiccups of Big Bang explained.

Plus, while having a lot of creative minds in the writers room can be a good thing as you have people that you can soundboard off and help you figure out potential ideas. It can quickly become a too many cooks in the kitchen situation where in that analogy the ideas or “dishes” either get scrapped entirely, burned, or under satisfying/could have been better prepared. 

Lorre also has a reputation in the industry for being a bit of a control freak and in the behind-the-scenes book, he mentioned trying to adopt a more hands off stance and being more willing to listen to others opinions, which worked out with a lot of decisions in certain episodes, but also didn’t pan out too well when folks were trying to… I guess the word would be emulate his style in the writing once he stepped back from directing to let others take the reins… and well… 🤷🏻‍♀️ We got great episodes, good episodes, and depending on your mood episodes out of that.

anyway, now I’m rambling, but I just thought I’d go ahead and share what I know along with my opinion.

However, going back to the situation with Leonard and Sheldon, I do think it could’ve been handled differently, and if they wanted to go ahead and show like say… Sheldon being stuck while Leonard and the rest of the guys are moving forward with their lives and sort of learning to grow emotionally and socially, then it would better explain Sheldon‘s behavior since we know Sheldon is notoriously known for not liking change as he frankly is scared of it.

I certainly think there was a bit of a missed opportunity of having Leonard eventually understand just why Sheldon is responding this way - like a scared animal - and confronting his roommate/best friend in a way that reminds him that change isn’t bad but this behavior is out of line. We did see early on in the early seasons that Leonard - Howard, Penny, & the staff at CalTech too - was able to reach Sheldon through the use of logic that even Sheldon could deny their arguments no matter how much he pouted or sulked.

It’s part of the reason why I kind of love and hate that episode way later on where Sheldon makes a big stink about Leonard getting a dining room table for the apartment - Leonard makes a very solid argument about the good of change, but of course since it’s Sheldon and Sheldon is the breakout fan favorite… 🫤 plus, I know it’s to keep the iconic scene of them all eating takeout 🥡 dinner together around the coffee table.

oh that’s interesting about the behind the scenes stuff! i didn’t know any of that, thanks for sharing!

and then about leonard and sheldon, i think that they did show leonard moving while sheldon stays in place. like, i think that the central conflict in their relationship in later seasons was that leonard is changing his life and therefore their lives and sheldon is unhappy with that. and i think the reason for that is. sheldon in season 1 kind of already has his dream life. he’s passionate about his job and he’s free to pursue his hobbies and interests and he has friends who understand and are also passionate about both of those things. and then leonard i think is happy in the day to day for the same reasons that sheldon is. but unlike sheldon, leonard’s always had this picture of what he thinks life should look like and it isn’t the life he had at the time. so leonard was always going to make changes in his life and therefore their lives and it makes a lot of sense that sheldon would be upset about that both because he loves their life as is and because, as you said, he’s afraid of change. i personally didn’t mind the way that was handled. (i might have had issues with some individual storylines but those stemmed from the fact that it irritates me that sheldon was flanderized.)

and then i also tend to think that leonard did understand why a sheldon reacted that way to him changing their lives. and he argued the point a lot for small things but for big things, he empathised and always tried to help. like when he and penny stayed with sheldon after they got married instead of moving away. like i think that for me, the issue isn’t that leonard didn’t understand or love sheldon. he very clearly did. but i feel like later seasons did a bad job of showing that he liked sheldon. that they were best friends and had fun together. i feel like that started to feel less true and they more were saying that leonard views his love for sheldon as a burden.

sometimes I multiship a character because they give off such bi disaster energy that I could see them paired up with almost every other character in the series

other times I multiship a character because I think their canon partner is such a bad match that I ship them with literally everyone else 1) to prove that anyone else makes more sense for them and 2) because they deserve to be happy god dammit

[svgurl410]

Pairing/Characters: Rory/Paris, Lorelai, Lane Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 10,279 Summary: To avoid being set up, Rory blurts out that she's dating Paris. The only problem is that she definitely isn't, and now the whole town thinks she is.

[nateserenas]

so in you’ve been gilmored when rory is telling paris about the fact that she’s being fired as editor, i’d make that scene even more explicitly romantic. like rory says something along the lines of ‘we’ve been there for each other through good times and bad times,’ and then she gets a look on her face and she starts staring into the distance like she’s now realising something and talking to herself and she says, ‘yeah, no matter what was going on, no matter what guys were in our lives, it was always us. you were always there.’ and then paris gets a confused look on her face and says, ‘well multiple people have said i’m like flypaper.’ and that snaps rory back to reality and she looks at paris strangely but then smiles, shaken by her realisation, but fondly and says, ‘yeah, you’re pretty unshakable.’ and then that scene continues how it did in canon with rory telling paris she’s been fired. but paris isn’t mad at rory when she becomes editor. like we literally saw that storyline seasons ago when paris thought that rory was scheming against her in student government. so instead, we see the growth in their relationship. instead of fighting with her, paris, with a suspicious look on her face, asks rory if she was scheming for the editor job. rory reassures her. and paris just says, ‘okay.’ and then, i think rory would still move in with logan, not because paris kicked her out, but because rory’s had a realisation that is a lot to process and she does not exactly no how to be around paris. so she moves in with logan and she’s thinking about her sexuality. she’s rory so of course we see shots of her reading books about lgbt history. and then one day she comes out to logan. like they’re probably lying in bed at night and rory out of the blue tells him that she thinks she likes women too. and logan who is very bi is like, ‘join the club ace.’ and then rory says, ‘and i think i’m in love with paris.’ and then at some point logan and rory breakup idk i haven’t really thought about how but they breakup and remain friends. and then at some point rory talks to lorelai about her feelings for paris and she does in the rambling rory way where she talks really fast and is like don’t say anything until i’ve said everything i need to say. and then lorelai probably comments on the time rory and paris played romeo and juliet and also the time rory told lorelai about when rory and paris kissed on spring break. and then at some point probably after a few months, during which paris and doyle break up, rory decides to tell paris how she feels. so she tells paris like a week in advance that she needs to talk to her about something so can they have dinner and paris is like, ‘ooh sounds serious,’ and rory smiles and says, ‘it is.’ so they’re at dinner and rory’s rambling about how long they’ve known each other and what they mean to each other and at some point she starts talking about the time before their student government fight and that’s where paris chimes in very nonchalantly, ‘you know, i had the biggest crush on you back then.’ and rory is completely surprised. she’s like you were what now. and she’s staring at paris open mouthed and then paris is like, ‘come on gilmore haven’t you ever heard of bisexuality?’ and rory is like, ‘yes paris i obviously have.’ and then paris asks why her mouth is hanging open. and rory goes, you had a crush on me??? i’ve been obsessing over whether or not i should tell you i’m in love with you for months and then rory starts rambling until paris after staring for a while says, ‘wait did you just say you’re in love with me??’ and rory’s like, ‘oh yeah. i guess i did.’ and she awkwardly laughs a little. and then paris tells rory that she’s in love with her too <3

betty 🫶🏼💖

everyone takes advantage of you, and you dont deserve any of the bullshit you get. you take the time to get to know people, and you love listening to people talk about things they love. youre incredibly understanding, but you doubt your self-worth and you crumble when you don't receive the validation you secretly crave. you are everybody's support system, and you give killer advice. youre probably the kindest soul, who has a few too many expectations for themselves. incredibly idealistic and stubborn, but you're also very intricate and warm. ALSO, hella wise.

Yup, I changed my url again!

I'm humble enough about my place in other fandoms, but stalia is really something I feel is fair to appoint myself the queen of on here. I will post about it like no other. I am the chairman of the tortured stalia shippers department. Been a little more focused on other hyperfixations lately, but a new stalia gifset to the lyrics from My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys is being put into the works!

Rory's Wedding

Rory proposes, Paris proposes in return -because idiots in love were both just waiting for the right moment, hiding engagement rings around- and their wedding day is the most wonderful one.

Lily's birth will later take the lead but, you know, nobody's gonna argue with that.
