I feel like we don't talk enough about the fact that Shari Lewis, puppeteer and creator of Lamb Chop's Play-Along (among many other things), cowrote the Star Trek episode where Scotty finally gets laid

until i recently read posts on here about how there is an inherent queerness to the doctor and rose's relationship in how it's unspoken and filled with yearning that i'd never really considered that element, despite knowing for ages that RTD is gay but. man. it's just reframed a lot of the series for me, like the idea that you have this lonely man who's just watched his people die and is self-destructive and misanthropic and traumatised and he can love again and he wants to but it has so many risks.
but especially S3 and how it adds even more weight to the doctor's grieving widower status. how he tells martha that he and rose were together but martha refers to rose as a friend to tallulah; the fact that he can only say they were together once she is gone; how the only other person that both can feel how he feels but also understands the depth of his feelings is jack, a queer man himself. and I've been thinking to myself lately oh, it's ok, the doctor and rose probably accidentally got married on at least one planet or something but also the point is that there was no official title that could convey to people the extent that they meant to each other, that the doctor can really only tell donna that rose was his friend even though it is so wholly inadequate and she comes to see that by the end of the episode (and martha too of course). how people who saw the doctor and rose together assumed they were a couple, like on krop tor, but once there's no more physical evidence of the relationship it becomes more vague (and simultaneously clearer).
anyway something about how christopher eccleston said he based his portrayal of nine on RTD and something about RTD saying that his husband is "in every good man i write now" and how the doctor and ruby seeing each other in the club mimics his first meeting with his husband aka the one moment he would use a time machine to go back to hmmm
#doctor who is fundamentally about grief and then i watch rtd era 1 and it's about grief like :0 oh my godddd#sidenote grieving widower ten needs its own tag on ao3#it's about the grief and the loss and the mourning and the loneliness#also this is not martha slander there are a million reasons to refer to rose as a friend#both real world and canonical and she was never directly told anything#but him not actually telling her what happened to rose and their exact relationship is kinda the point#doctor who#timepetals#meta#also yes rtd's husband was alive when he wrote end of time but. ten seeing rose at his end but their beginning...#yay queer readings of dw nay rtd as a person btw#dw meta

fundamentally i disagree with the notion that Jeff Knows Everything because he read shauna's journals. that implies not only that shauna wrote in detail about Everything that happened during those nineteen months but most crucially it implies shauna wouldn't be an unreliable narrator
#unless i see him say out loud what things he knows shauna did specifically and how she felt about it i just do not believe he Knows#his reaction when shauna took that gun last ep? his dumbass idea that shauna just wants an adventurous husband?#that man is entirely unaware#idk what and HOW shauna wrote in her diary but she's like ten hundred layers of repression and fucked up urges#just imagining her trying to write her lil fucked up diary out there is breaking my brain#yellowjackets spoilers#i guess for the gun thing mention in the tags#i'll eat my words if i'm wrong but i do not think Jeff Knows Everything. jeff has some idea#based on whatever distorted version of events he reads abt in shauna's diary#but yeah no i do not think this man Knows there i said it#yellowjackets blogging

Inspired by Pink Skies - Zach Bryan
Sad asf - death
Poolverine where they have Laura and Ellie (Wade's child in the comics). Logan is destined to die before Wade in every universe whether they find each other or not, whether they date or not, whether they start a family or not.
They moved to the countryside - as in hours from another house countryside - after Althea died. Ellie and Laura were taught many different things such as gun safety, how to hunt safely and efficiently, that it's okay to show your emotions, that being a mutant or even just different from the 'norm' wasn't bad and that everything would be okay.
Laura would come visit fairly often but the time away slowly increased. Ellie also left to try different things and like Laura, her visits became shorter and less often. It wasn't until Logan was on his deathbed that they came to visit for the first time in two and a half years.
Laura has flashbacks of her other Logan dying and has regrets of not visiting more, not staying to help him. He didn't think it would happen so soon but she was wrong and she is going to forever regret it. Ellie had heard of the stories of their world's Wolverine off her sister and the remaining X-Men; they seemed so similar yet so different, she doesn't know how to explain it.
Logan and Wade expected this. They knew it was coming - that's why they moved to the countryside, to live our their days together and away from anything that would try and stop it. They didn't know how much time they had left together but they knew it wasn't long with the way Logan's claws would lock up, his joints becoming stiff and clicky, growing tired quickly from hunting trips or chopping down trees for their fires.
They made the most of everything and loved each other more than anything.
The day of the funeral, everyone was there. The remaining X-Men, the new recruits, those who fought by his side on few missions, Vanessa, Peter, Dopinder, Ellie, Laura and Wade. The whole family was together again and those up above reunited with one another.
Logan got to see his X-Men, the ones he failed, the ones who still cared and forgave him. He also met this world's X-Men and was welcomed with open arms. Wade held his two children close to him throughout the service.
One by one, everyone said their goodbyes. Ellie went, then Laura and then Wade. They hung back to let everyone else say it first, knowing they would take the longest. Ellie thought about the times she spent with her dad, gaining the confidence to become who she is. Laura was stuck thinking about her first Logan and how she didn't know what to do now that her second dad was dead. The one who raised her to never be ashamed of her claws.
Wade thought about how he was originally annoyed and upset that he never got to meet this world's Logan but he's happy he didn't. Otherwise, he would never have met his Logan. He stared at his face in the casket, holding his hand which displayed his claws, showing that he is The Wolverine, The X-Men and is not afraid of who he is.
The Merc ran fingers through his hair, whispering, "I'll take care of them, Kitty.. Logan. They'll be safe. I'll probably be a while but still. I'll see you soon." Logan watched down as the three walked away together, feeling his heart break for them, "I know you will, Bub. I'll see you when you're ready," Wolverine said back to him.
He felt hands on his shoulders - it was Scott's. Both of them. A small smile appeared on his face and he turned away to face his friends. His family. Laura's first Logan gave him a small nod with a hint of a smile. It signalled that he was proud of him, of Laura, of what she has become because of this Logan. It helped ease a weird tension in his gut. Logan and the two Scott's walked back to the group, ready to be one large family.
#the song came on tiktok and then I was like 'I'm gunna listen to that' so when I was making food and listening to it#I got this idea and it fucking crushed me#Laura losing another dad and Wade losing his “forever” husband#didn't cry during this but I was definitely fucking sad#I apologise if I wrote Ellie wrong I haven't read the comics and I don't know how old she is#I didn't write anything too specific for her because I have no clue how she actually acts but I liked the idea of them being girl dads and#Laura having a sister#marvel#x men#deadpool#wade wilson#wade winston wilson#wolverine#worst wolverine#logan howlett#james logan howlett#x23#laura kinney#ellie camacho#poolverine#deadclaws

sometimes i just like to sit and admire what it was like in 2010, 2011, and 2012
i was searching up on something else and then remembered that..
..this happened 🥹
(link to tweet)
(link to tweet)
(link to harry's tweet | link to louis' reply | link to harry's reply to louis' reply)
(link to tweet)
(link to tweet)
and this was the screenshot that inspired this post. All tweets are still there, as seen above; with the only exception that the account where that "gay for each other" tweet was made from in 2011 was deleted, so the tweet that Jay retweeted is unfortunately also gone now.
#my heart is so FULL every time i stumble upon tweets by Jay and Anne about them and of course the tweets they sent/wrote about each other#larry stylinson#larry tweets#Jay#larry#2010#2011#2012#Jay NEVER held back with her support for her boy and the boy he's in love with#and why should she?... *sigh* why should she indeed#i love their love#future husbands#They are married#mine

There are a bajillion Marriage Hunt AUs and not a single one for HashiMito. I don't even like the trope because bride kidnapping was a real thing where men captured the women they wanted to marry and then raped them - and to me, personally, that's reason enough not to enjoy a romanticized version of it. But see, I'm a spiteful bitch and the fact that there are so many MadaTobi and TobiIzu Marriage AU fics but not a single HashiMito one makes me want to have one now.
So...
This is Hashirama's fourth time participating as a hunter in a marriage hunt. The last three times, he claimed he hadn't been able to capture anyone, which is a bald-faced lie considering he's one of the strongest shinobi in all of Hi no Kuni if not even all elemental nations, and the elders know it. But it's not like they can do anything about it except force him strongly suggest to participate in another one.
This time, however, he is considering taking the hunt seriously for once. One of the possible brides is a Nara - the second child of the current clan head. Albeit unfortunately a man, thus not possible to grant Hashirama heirs, which the elders will have objections about (even though they only care about the Mokuton, which they know only appears in every few generations, so the chances that a child of his would inherit the Mokuton are practically zero), he has heard of the intellect that runs through Nara clan head's family.
The first child would've been more fitting, for one she's a woman, and for another she's rumored to be the smartest Nara as of yet, but as the direct heir, she naturally can't marry out. So Hashirama will have to do with the younger brother instead. He isn't sure if he wants to have sex with a man, but Hashirama has never been fond of tradition anyway so he may as well just ignore this one, too. What he needs, is someone strategic to help him make peace with the Uchiha, and since Tobirama is unwilling to hear him out, he may as well capture himself a personal strategist via a marriage contract.
(And here Tobirama always claimed Hashirama can't think ahead. Ha, take this!)
Sure, if it was up to Hashirama, he'd prefer his future wife someone to be he has already gotten to know and has had time to court and develop feelings for but since he's clan head, he can't have everything he wants, so this is his next best option.
When the hunt starts, however, Hashirama doesn't immediately chase after the Nara whose name he unfortunately already forgot. He keeps an eye on him, to see what kind of traps he comes up with against his pursuers, and if Hashirama is impressed enough, he will try to strike a conversation with him and see, how he feels about the notion of peace. And only then will he decide if he will capture the man into marriage or not.
For now, he just runs nonsensically into the forest, which is all the more surprising when golden chains wind around him and capture him in a hard grip that makes him stumble and almost fall to the ground.
"Wha-?"
"Senju Hashirama," he hears Uzumaki Mito's voice at the other side of the chains, standing proudly a few branches behind him, her chin held high and her expression smug, "I, Uzumaki Mito, declare my intention to hunt you for marriage. Do you accept?"
Her tone is steady and imperious but not unkind. Hashirama blinks in confusion.
"But I am registered as a hunter and not bride-to-be?" he helpfully points out.
"Not anymore," Mito says and gestures to his wrist, retracting her chains from his person, now that she has his full attention. Where a blue bracelet should be that identifies him as a hunter is now a red one instead. A bride's bracelet.
Hashirama gapes. "How--?"
He had noticed Mito's hard stare before the hunt had begun. And when he had looked over to see who kept staring holes into him, Mito hadn't even had the decency to look away, had just looked at him with an intense gaze, not paying attention to the rules of the hunt that were being read aloud. Hashirama had wondered if there had been something on his face and prayed it wasn't leftover from his breakfast.
Now he wonders how she managed to exchange his bracelet without anyone noticing, including him, all the while she had been lined up quite a few paces away from him with two other hunters between them.
"I can't marry out, I am clan head," he then mentions carefully, although Mito knows already as much. They have, after all, met a handful of times already. But it bears mentioning, since Mito seems to have forgotten how a marriage hunt works.
"I am aware. And I am, of course, willing to marry into my wife's clan instead. My wife's duty takes precedence over the nature of our marriage."
Huh. Hashirama has met Mito before, so he knows she's a smart woman - Ashina's head strategist even. She's witty and incredibly skilled at the arts of sealing. She's also an exceptionally beautiful woman, which is not important in this context, but Hashirama can't help but notice anyway. And right now, something akin to fear and hope shimmers in those coal-dark eyes, in contrast to the confident pose she's holding.
So, stupidly, Hashirama doesn't think twice when he answers, "I accept."
The brilliant smile Mito gifts him then is all the confirmation he needs that this was the right decision. He may not have had the time to properly court Mito and get to know her better, but he can tell without a doubt, this will be more than worth it.
Without further ado, Hashirama runs.
#and then mito captures him again with her chains and they have nasty sex in the middle of the forest (mito tops)#when he gets back to the senju compound and then explains that HE has been captured by mito in the hunt the elders and tobirama both#are just like ??????#not that they can say anything against it since it's a good match but wtf#tobirama can already feel all headaches he's going to have in the future#may writes#apparently?????????#i couldn't finish my mito week fics bc of the block but this i wrote in like half an hour out of nowhere????#make it make sense brain#i will have to polish this before posting this on ao3 but yeah apparently may has written again#hashimito#senju hashirama#uzumaki mito#mito will continue calling hashirama her wife btw. she's the one who caught him after all#and hashirama calls mito his husband#that's how they introduce each other to other ppl

He said "Fuck this shit, I'm out" I'm crying. Toriyama's Vegeta was so top shelf 🤌
(From Neko Majin Z Chapter 5!)
#dbtag#Idk why Toei didn't lean into Vegeta being a version of Piccolo you could put in funnier situations like Toriyama wrote#He's reserved and professional and proud but JUST immature enough to bite down on a gag that Piccolo would readily swerve#But they take a lot of Goku's chaotic comedy away too in favor of Hero(tm) writing and that is why I keep pulling my hair out aklsjdlas#Toriyama was sO funny and it bums me out so much that the anime derailed how lighthearted and straight up silly the humor is#and replaced it with Misogyny Is Funny and humiliation kinks asjklfhadjk and it's not just my complaints about Vegeta and Bulma!!#“Goku is running away from his very reasonable wife because he is a goofy little guy who doesn't want to do his chores” becomes#“Chichi is Cruel to Goku who is Trying to be a good husband because she doesn't relate to his passions and vilifies him for having them"#which is not their dynamic at all but dudes in the writing room are like “being married is fucking awful amirite fellas hahaha”#but Toriyama was like “Being married is not for everybody but it can be really great if you and your partner are on the same page”#Chichi's reasonable! And Goku isn't romantically wired but Goku can enthusiastically consent to sex and still not enjoy kissing#those things can be and are true for a lot of people! And it makes even more sense if you hc Goku to be aspec (and audhd coded) like I do#Kissing can feel gross and can be a sensory overload for many folks. Doesn't mean they're stupid or innocent.#(although Goku CAN still ride nimbus so idk what Pure entails in this universe askljad)#Like I am the FIRST person to joke and drag Goku about his marriage as an aspec myself but like legit Goten is a Last Night On Earth baby#He knows what sex is. But also between how socially removed Goku is and how Shy and Conservative Chichi it's not out of line#to assume the actual words sex and kiss have never been spoken in that house skljdlajdf I FULLY believe Chichi uses code words#Chichi thinks her son being blonde makes him a delinquent and still uses honorifics with Goku like it is fully reasonable to assume#that the joke of Goku's naivetè centers around the fact that his wife is too embarrassed to talk about Certain Matters in a normal way#While Bulma and Vegeta are slutty hedonistic cityfolk who need jesus (according to chichi probably...and me but I support them)#anyway. point is. Toriyama was funny as hell and Nekomajin is absolutely ridiculous and goofy and has a fully amoral main character#which just reminded me that toei is allergic to letting goku be a gremlin and so vegeta's not allowed to be a gremlin wrangler#even though that's been his job since the day he met raditz alksdjaskljd

i dont mean this to spark a night vs crow debate but doesnt the ultimate guide state that nightcloud's "bitterness toward Crowfeather tainted Breezepelt with its poison" (directly quoting this). i agree that we shouldnt take crow's word on this bc hes a biased source, but the ultimate guide doesnt have a character pov. what are your thoughts on this? idk if its a retcon since its been forever since ive read the mainline. i like the idea that the two fucked up in their own ways.
Generally inaccurate and sometimes containing information that outright contradicts canon, Field Guides should considered very low in a canon hierarchy.
The same field guide completely fails to mention that Crowfeather wasn't only neglectful to Breezepelt, but actively emotionally abusive to him, and doesn't even MENTION that he suddenly blamed everything on Nightcloud.
So I DO feel justified in saying that the field guides probably did contribute in some way to how absolutely obtuse WC fans can be towards the text.
It just Makes. Shit. Up. These authors have had SHAMEFUL levels of misogynistic bias for YEARS and it's never more apparent than when they're writing bullshit summaries like "Ashfur was soo nice and sweet and only loved too much :(" and "Clear Sky was simply being fierce when he was shoving his son's face in a sloppy wound" and then turning around and saying "actually it was the nearest woman's fault"
I pull from earlier field guides as inspiration, but exclusively treat the "summary" ones as insight to what is bouncing around in the brightly colored Moonjump Castle that is the author's minds.
Like the idea that they're "both fucked up" or not, it doesn't change the fact that what the Erins put on the page was an abusive father who tries to deflect blame to his WIFE for making a bratty son, and then took the abuser's side in supporting material for years.
#Even wrote a super edition for their sad sad boy where FOUR women and a leader have to hold his hand and say Be Nice To Your Child#Meanwhile if you commit the high crime of Lying to Husband they might send you to actual Hell.#With a bunch of murderers#No more being nice about this honestly I am going to grind all slander against Nightcloud to paste#Even though Night does get some flaws as a person in BB because she deserves them#She deserves to have a life and struggles of her own outside of being a wife and mom

In my autistic opinion, people who think that media literacy is a cure all to misunderstandings forget that a story is a two way conversation and the onus is on the storyteller to communicate in a way their reader will hear. If someone has to read your mind to understand your story, that’s poor writing.
#this post is brought to you by the author of the I hate my husband article claiming we’re all idiots for thinking she hates her husband#just because she wrote about her blatantly dysfunctional marriage and all the things that she hates about him#and how the only way she can tolerate him is to ignore everything he says#oh and also we’re misogynists for saying that’s a bad marriage and everyone’s marriages are secretly like this#and also jk rowling saying that she has never ever called for harm against trans people ever#'i never said we should boil them i just said we should put them in a pot of water that happens to be on a fire'

Hannibal season 3b au where everything is the same except Antony Dimmond lives and visits Hannibal at BSHCI. Freddie goes crazy with the Will and Antony comparisons: EUROPEAN GRAHAM LOOK ALIKE SEEN VISITING HANNIBAL THE CANNIBAL: IS LECTER RECEIVING CONJUGAL VISITS FROM ACROSS THE POND?? and Will is absolutely livid. The first time Will visits Hannibal, Antony is on his way out; Will glares daggers while Antony just gives him a smug smile and Alana is honestly done with all of them. During one of his petty sessions with Bedelia, Will asks her how Antony knows Hannibal and she gleefully replies, “He offered to help Hannibal… untwist in Florence, though I suppose there was some twisting involved as well. Quite handsome, isn’t he? And very decidedly not.. twitchy” *said while looking will up and down* (derogatory)
#and ofc prison hanni is a happy duckling through it all#will seethes and poor molly doesn’t understand why Will glares so hard at the tv and phone screen when Freddie first releases pics#she figured any mention of hannibal must be triggering for her sweet man#imagine the added level of pettiness in 3b#hannibal giving major petty husband vibes ‘you see will I appreciate that antony wrote to me and provides such pleasant company#you know how I so very value courtesy#etc etc#anyway antony would also be in attendance in the totl credit scene 😆#hannigram#nbc hannibal#will graham

I read an Agatha Christie book to analyze the way she broke down a mystery so maybe I could apply that to some Dick situation, but now I'm just mad because someone completely unexpected was the murderer instead of the two family members I wanted to be the murderer.
#no but agatha christie surprised me by the way she wrote one particular female character#the detective said something to her like ''you wanted to be more of a wife to your husband than a mother didn't you?''#and i was like DAMNNN AGATHA#bc mind you--agatha christie was born in 1890#but she was laying that shit out#Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie

"As for the government of the kingdom, [Edward V] had complete confidence in the peers of realm and the queen."
"According to the Crowland continuator, [Elizabeth Woodville] seems to have taken the king's place in listening to his council immediately after Edward IV's death. It does appear that she expected to have some role in her son's kingship, and the Crowland continuator’s report of the letters sent to her by [Richard of Gloucester] indicates that she had good reason to expect to be able to work with him and the other councillors: 'the duke of Gloucester wrote the most pleasant letters to console the queen; he promised to come and offer submission, fealty and all that was due from him to his lord and king, Edward V, the first-born son of his brother the dead king and the queen'."
"[However], in what was Gloucester's first coup, Edward V was separated from his household and Woodville advisors. When the young king questioned the move, Buckingham was reported to have told the boy 'It is not in the business of women but men to govern kingdoms'. The blunt remark referred to the authority of Elizabeth Woodville as queen and the power she must have anticipated within the new political climate left by Edward IV's sudden death [...] While the veracity of this scene is questionable*, the words attributed to the duke no doubt seemed plausible to Dominic Mancini who believed they exemplified the popular sentiment held by men [...]."
-Dominic Mancini, The Usurpation of Richard the Third / J.L. Laynesmith, The Last Medieval Queens: English Queenship 1445-1503 / Alexander R. Brondarbit, Power Brokers and the Yorkist State, 1461-1485
*One of Mancini's key sources seems to have been Edward V's own doctor, John Argentine, who attended to him in the Tower. It's very likely that he was the one who recounted this scene to Mancini, which suggests that it should probably be considered more credible than not.
#historicwomendaily#elizabeth woodville#wars of the roses#15th century#english history#my post#Croyland wrote that 'The counsellors of the king - now deceased - were present with the queen' so yes#He clearly seemed to view Elizabeth as taking on Edward's role after his death#Which is striking since her son - the new King - hadn't even arrived in London yet let alone be crowned#It's also interesting that Richard wrote letters to *her* rather than the rest of the council and that she was the final deciding authority#when it came to her son (she was the one who wrote to him for his military escort) - it's a clear indication of who was seen as important#This is also reflected in 16th century chronicles like the claim that the Archbishop of York gave Elizabeth the Great Seal#We don't know if this is true - the Archbishop was definitely opposed to Richard but More may have embellished or invented the story#But either way it reflects the perception that Elizabeth would have a major role in the realm's governance during her son's minority#Which makes sense as Edward V would have been used to his mother governing for him as part of his council his whole life#It's also interesting to compare the impression we get of Elizabeth's role with that of former kings' mothers in late medieval England#Because that can help us understand her activities (and perception of them) within proper context rather than purely in isolation#From what I understand kings' mothers could be very influential (eg: Joan of Kent) but were almost never visibly/directly associated#with the governance of the realm. It's striking that the most extreme and arguably the only exception - Isabella of France - assumed#her unofficial regent-like role only after literally deposing the former King aka her husband in the most atypical situation imaginable#So it's striking that Elizabeth *was* visibly and directly associated with it despite her situation being entirely standard; despite the#lack of precedents; and despite the physical absence of her son. Especially since she was effectively the king's mother for only 20 days#I do think it's possible to argue that it says something about her power as queen#(Edward *did* give her unusual positions of authority either way) and may also suggest a more direct personality on her part#It may also explain why historians were/are so readily prepared to believe that she wanted to 'usurp the sovereignty' to quote George Buck#Ofc this is my interpretation based on my (limited) knowledge - feel free to correct me
