You know what. I’ve realised a massive part of why I dislike tommy so much!
He’s a shape shifter.
Think about it for a moment. We know next to nothing about this dude because he just shifts into whatever role he needs to play for whomever he’s with. We know he was military but have zero context beyond that but it’s implied he was the ‘perfect’ soldier.
Under Gerrard he’s a bigoted misogynistic racist homophobe.
Gerrard leaves and he magically becomes someone who can fit in with the 118 under Bobby.
Leaves the 118 and we don’t know what he’s up to.
Reappears on the scene when the firefam show up at the hangar and becomes what they need him to be in that moment.
Is essentially actively pursuing Eddie but is quick to switch to buck when it’s clear he’s an easier target. Drops buck when bucks not ready with zero explanation but is happy to go along with what buck wants when he calls him.
Man doesn’t have a personality of his own because he just shifts into whatever he needs to be for whoever he needs to be it for.
#I have a slightly out there (ok very out there) theory that Tommy is actually under Ortiz’s control and that Gerrard is just a decoy#that Tommy is infiltrating the 118 to take them down#because Gerrard is too obvious he’s too panto villain#but Tommy - who appears back on the scene concienetly at the same time as Ortiz starts up her vendetta!!#he’s much better placed to create issues and problems that Gerrard is.#his shifting personality is suspicious to me because in all the begins episodes he was just going wherever the wind was blowing and has no#actual characteristics of his own - it was all words out in his mouth#do I think this is what they’re actually doing with mr plot device - not remotely!#he’s there for bucks arc and then he’ll be gone#but so I think it would be a fun and interesting thing to do with him - completely - but that would mean more screen time#and I’m getting as much as I can handle already!#anti tommy kinard#911 abc#911 speculation#sort of I guess#more me having a random theory that will come to nothing!#although he is a shape shifter - that part is not a wild specualtion!

like. school was a safe place for her. he took that away, blew it up, because he was trying to get daddy’s attention. he hurt her and he mocked her and he tried to play some sort of bullshit “we’re the same” card as if he’s not the one assaulting a seventeen year old. he cannot say shit about fathers to mia fucking dearden when he went evil and threw a giant hissy fit because he felt daddy dearest didn’t love him. if that’s the card he wants to play, if she had ripped his throat out right then and there i would have fucking cheered. he was just another asshole in a line of assholes with sob stories who feel that makes them justified to them hurt others. mia was right. he is just another good guy gone bad. another one of the sick fucks who couldn’t handle staying on the right side of the line. she is nothing like him.
#my rambles#mia dearden#anti jason todd#can u tell i reread the issue. it just. makes me so fucking mad.#he locked her in her school he rigged to blow even after all that. whether or not he *wanted* her to escape;#he rigged her school to blow and *locked her in it.*#literally the most uncharitable view of jason ever but idc! idc. fuck you.

#dc really did fucking blow it#dick grayson never felt more unique a character ironically than when he was wearing the cowl#watching damian grow under dick's wing was an amazing experience#dick and damian's relationship is also so special to me like damian just isn't bruce's robin#dick grayson#damian wayne#grant morrison#batman#dickbats#batman and robin#dc comics#comics#bat family#batfam#anti new 52#anti dan didio#kevin smith

i need everybody ever to watch this video actually. the issue is not difficult but if you’re somehow still feeling uncertain in any way about hogwarts legacy watch the video. they say it well and they say it with confidence and i love them actually
#hogwarts legacy#all of their videos on the topic are extremely good. downloaded the tiktok app so i could save this one on my phone#fr though it is really Not That Complicated. and none of your arguments to the contrary are good#if you still interact with harry potter i don’t like you and i don’t want you in my spaces.#if you’re going to play hogwarts legacy i hate you actually. and i am going to respectfully posit that you fuck off#nd i don’t care if you’re trans or queer or whatever. wearing a pronouns pin while you send money to legislate trans people out of existence#is not a cute look nor does it excuse you from moral culpability.#if ppl wanna start a fight in the comments i’m happy to tell you to go fuck yourself and die though it’ll help me blow off some steam <3#valentine notes#harry potter#jk rowling#anti harry potter#anti jkr#anti hogwarts legacy#not even to MENTION the racism and antisemitism. dear fucking god

Blog 1: lol anyone else seeing a lot of strawberries in new recipes now? sometimes its fun but i really dont get the appeal of adding it to everything. why did you make strawberry garlic bread
Blog 2: u kno im not a fan of strawberries, i really like the rich sweet and sour notes from oranges, oranges and chocolate is such a good combo. i altered a recipe for a smoothie with oranges last week and it was soooo good ill give you my notes if you want Reblogged by: Blog 1: ahaha yesss i love chocolate and oranges
Blog 3: I canNOT believe the hate im seeing to strawberries right now, like, you know guys know the rule don't like don't bake right?? you know you can hit the back button right?? honestly what's wrong with yall
Open draft- wait guys you know there's a difference between leaving a comment on a recipe saying you hate strawberries and the recipe writer should never use them, and going to your own blog to say you don't really like strawberries, without naming any specific people or recipes right? you know there's a difference right?? - Save - Post - Discard
Draft discarded
Blog 4: why is everyone jumping on the strawberry hate train right now. what is wrong with you. Reblogged by: Blog 5: I knowwww like guys some people stop baking because of reading things like that, please stop it, if you don't like strawberries you can be quiet about it
Open draft- im so sorry if anyone's getting sent mean messages or comments about what they're writing and baking, but i'm literally not seeing any of that and if you are, please use the block button. but someone making a post on their own blog is not that, and if you can't see the irony in you being allowed to complain on personal blogs but not them i can't help you... - save- post- discard
Draft discarded
Blog 2: are strawberries even in season?
Blog 6: woo cherry pie!
#trying so hard to be a blog 6 rn#im discarding those drafts#but clearly it has been too much for me as this one is getting posted#like i really am sorry if any. strawberry antis are directly being rude to anyone#that isnt ok#but i have seen zero of that on my dash or in the tag#i saw a few blogs saying lol they don't like strawberries#and then i saw a ton of blogs saying how dare there be any negativity at all#and seeming to act as if those blog posts were specifically about disliked fic authors i mean recipe makers#which... if any of them were... i didn't see it because of how i blocked large swaths of the fandom like three years ago#when i realized that it was determined to blow up a discourse topic every single month#and if there are people doing that. please. do what i did. block en mass#if you open a recipe that turns out to have strawberries in it and you cant hit the back button but instead leave a nasty comment that is a#you problem#but also if you see a random blog post about someone saying they dislike strawberries- hate strawberries even- and you feel personally#attacked and start crying about how now you never want to bake a strawberry shortcake again and they're so mean#that is also. a you problem.#'what fandom is this pocket' dont worry about it#not one i have any mutuals in#which. considering the mass blocking and the annoying chronic discourse explosions. perhaps is not surprising

The rich man who gets over 100 million views on every video he makes. The rich man who gave out free iPhones on Halloween hasn't said a SINGLE peep, made ANY posts, or reposted ANYTHING about Palestine, Gaza, Sudan, Congo, or ANY genocide going on right now?

He has a SHIT TON OF MONEY and to blow it all on these dumbass challenge videos whilst claiming you want to help people and make the world a better place and yet staying DEAD SILENT on people and children being fucking murdered, kidnapped, and raped is really fucking telling isn't it?

12 hours after the amazing digital circus episode 2 airs, I see a video on youtube entitled "THEY RUINED JAX!!! 😡"
Like, chill! They literally haven't even finished SHOWING US Jax!! 😂 He's still only had a few dozen lines! I'm sorry about the Jax in your headcanon that you've been growing in the space between episodes, but I don't think there's been enough time to ruin that rabbit yet! 😅
#original#the amazing digital circus#jax#the amazing digital circus jax#jax the amazing digital circus#I didn't end up watching the video and I'm not going to go seek it out because I don't actually want to blow up their spot#i just thought it was funny. I feel that brand of fan pain i get the feeling. but also someone here is projecting#maybe it's bc he was an even bigger asshole in the second episode? but like. he's clearly at the very beginning of a character arc still!#anyway me and my wife are fuckin in love with this show. we've both worked horrible office jobs and especially love the anti-work shit#to be clear that's anti-WORK not 'anti-woke'. we are anti racist socialists who hate corporate culture we are not republicans#also saying you're anti woke is like saying 'I'm anti anti racism' which means you coulda saved time and just said you're racist#and if you do say shit like that omg why are you following this blog get out of here and go back to the ocean you fucking trilobites!!#i am too high for this but my point is that white supremacy is evil & must be stopped in all its forms & also jax the rabbit is fine so far#nailed it

As someone who is pro artist and believes in a significantly more regulated tech industry in general, I do find it funny when people are like GenAi is not actually intelligent!!! It’s just a bunch of statistics!!! It just copies the training data!!! They’re lying that it’s actually AI!!!! My homies in Christ, that’s what all AI is like from the most basic classifier to neural nets, trained statistics machines to make decisions. That’s,,, literally our current definition of AI
#Like they aren’t hiding that from you#it was the first thing I learned in my first AI class#Some kid at a presentation asked me about general knowledge machines#which are machines that can produce original ideas#and understand common sense#and I’m like homie that would be so cool#but like I think it’s further away than what a lot of ai enthusiasts are claiming#but yeah it’s weird to see your field blow up in popularity#and deal with a bunch of very weird takes#that you know come from a lack of understanding#like I’m v anti gen ai in the sense that it’s steals from artist#and it’s buzzword popularity makes a lot of people shove it into problem spaces where a traditional classifier or knowledge base would be#cheaper#anyways thanks for listening to the secret tags rant

i remember first listening to tinashes debut mixtape back in 2012 when i was in highschool and how i listened to it every morning on my way to school and back home on my ipod. her music really helped me grow into the person i am today and it makes me so happy that so many ppl appreciate and still listen to her today. its wild looking back and how far shes come. her first mixtapes are truly my favorites and always make me nostalgic. its fun to see how her new music is blending old influences and new ones and its so delightful.
So happy to see someone else appreciating her as much as I do on here!! I’ve dug so deep into everything about this woman, from listening avidly to her music to watching all the interviews she’s done in the past. I’ve seen her in concert (amazing stage presence). She’s one of very few contemporary female artists who can still do insane choreo AND powerhouse vocals. I will forever die on the hill that she deserves sm more (although her career as an independent artist is nothing to sneeze at all the same).
I feel like she’s always been grounded in her vision of being experimental w music. You can tell from her interviews that she didn’t want to be boxed into the rnb category, a sentiment expressed by other black artists like FKA Twigs and Tyler, and I def think she fulfilled her creative vision w her last couple of drops as an independent (not that she shies away from making more rnb tracks or dislikes the genre—I genuinely think she just doesn’t want to be labeled that bc she really does dip her toes into a bit of everything).
I just!! Always feel like!! She should be more mainstream than she currently is. I don’t think that’s a bad thing to say. I feel like people say this ad nauseam about her, and she’s expressed in interviews that she doesn’t want to lean too much into it, but I truly do think she’s underrated. And like I can tell why she’s still underground: clashing frequently w RCA while she was signed to them (they wanted her to lean into the rnb/pop persona anddd she did not want that), keeping her breakup w Ben Simmons under wraps (so many of the main pop girls have used real life drama like that to further their careers), the general public probably not being ready to welcome another black woman into the mainstream (Tinashe has talked before about how she feels there are very limited slots for black female artists), and also just her generally being torn between being an indie influence and going more pop. I do sympathize—I feel like she takes nothing more seriously than her creative freedom—but I will never stop riding for her bc she should be selling out stadiums. That is all
#nightride is one of my top albums of all time#it feels analogous to The Weeknd’s trilogy to me#idk she’s 30 and contrary to popular belief you don’t just go ancient at 30#so she def has time#apparently she signed to a small label company (which is pretty big bc she’s been very anti label)#so hopefully she reaches more ears at least but. it will always blow my mind that she’s not more popular than she is#I don’t think Tinashe is robbed bc of the ppl who didn’t listen to Nightride#I think the ppl who didn’t listen to it were robbed bc they’re missing out on such an experience. i will die on this hill i mean it

absolute hottest lukewarm take
#ada speaks#untagged#not tagging this but#i am curious to know everyone else's rankings#ive really only seen polls and that doesn't rank them properly bc its like. one vote per person#its hard to rank a lot of the seasons bc like. i fucking love the first two eps of s7 and i think frank's pretty woman is#one of the most solid eps in the entire series#but as a whole i think there are a lot of weak eps in s7#frank's brother absolutely blows. sorry rcg. i don't particularly care for storm of the century. audited is Fine. ANTI-social is Fine.#9 has a stretch of 3 eps i enjoy and then the rest are meh#15 got fucked over because i. absolutely fucking adore the ireland eps. so much#and even roller rink i enjoyed on its own. its fun if you consider it noncanon. botched continuity and retconning piss me off but.#i dont care for the first two eps of 15 at all though and there are Less eps to like in 15 (because less overall) than smthn like s3#tierlist#rankings

Pure Speculation but i know the like [this is reaction to You Know How Media Is] element discussed like#part 1 thinking most [sat. morning cartoons experience; the legend of] part 2 is like when these series get sequels or just some#ep or turning point that upends its own previous established conventions.

5.14.24 TXT Promise Tour Tacoma Dome <3
Okay, I'm finally recovered enough to spill it all and gush about the Tacoma Dome show, which I was so blessed to be able to go to! My last concert was BTS at Allegiant in Las Vegas- again, so lucky to go! The next concert I was desperate to attend was TXT...but they have always toured in LA, and I haven't been in a financial position to travel. When I heard TXT had a stop here in Seattle for their 2024 Promise Tour, I cried. I scraped just enough money together to buy tickets (getting them was so stressful waah!), and flash forward to two nights ago, I had the concert of my dreams <3
Our seats were the nosebleeds, but they were great?? Idk, I guess I'm always sitting in the back at concerts so it doesn't bother me, and because the Tacoma Dome is a smaller venue than the last couple I've been to, it felt closer. We were also facing the stage straight on, so that gave a great view!
The moment the boys came out was so surreal, like idk...my routine is to relax by watching them doing “something” nearly everyday, and of course I'm always listening to them...to have them actually in front of me, no screen between us....?! Wild! They really are so tall lol! And so handsome, my god! The amount of charm and charisma is no joke. They are natural performers of course, but deeper than that, they are them, you know? There's just something so attractive in their authentic selves. It was just beyond amazing to be in their presence. Gives me the goosebumps just thinking about it.
Speaking of their presence, idk what Big Hit be feeding them, but whatever it is-- they were on FIRE. Like burn-the-stage-Lapalooza on fire. They were such a FORCE on stage. I came in with high expectations, I know what performers these boys are, but they just blew any expectation I had out of the water. Puma was an experience okay? Like the looks Yeonjun was giving the camera needed a parental warning. Taehyun during Quarter Life was something else!! I don't even know how to describe it, like he just like a whole man out there?? idk idk! Soobin took me out every time the camera was on him, period. Also: Killa. Need I say more? Beomgyu with his hand in his hair non-stop was the deadliest, and Kai with his “guitar solo”??? I'm not okay.
And if it wasn't their stage presence melting me, it was their hearts of gold. For real. The things they said in the ending ments just made me into a mushy puddle of love. Through the whole show they seemed so touched at the energy of the crowd and their reception overall, and I'm over here like: duh! We love you! But they seemed so surprised- in a really good way <3 TAEHYUNG SAID WE KILLED IT. YAAAS. Yeonjun stood on that stage and told us he felt like the “luckiest man in the world” and I about died. He was so full of love, telling MOAs over and over how much he appreciates our love and energy, just the sweetest omg! Kai said he was falling in love with us??? IDK it was like fever dream all their sweet comments oh gosh!
The crowd really was so good. I'm so proud Seattle showed up for the boys and gave them the energy they needed! Taehyun said that we started out so loud and strong that he wondered how we could continue it through the whole concert and not “burn out”, but he was amazed to see that we didn't quit, and he said that really fueled him :) Yeonjun said he had never experienced anything like it “since I was born”. Hell yes, Seattle MOA, way to go! The boys were particularly fascinated with our 'Tacoma dome stomping'. They looooved it and got such a kick out of it when we would do it along with our cheering, it just totally amped up the vibe. They had us do it over and over again. They would say something and we would go crazy and stomp and they would just smile amazed. They were speechless. It was so cool :D
The boys interactions with MOA was so sweet and genuine. There was a section of the night where they worked with us on a chant combined with our stomping and it was the most fun I've EVER had at a concert. The chant went like this (to the beat of We Will Rock You): stomp-stomp “TXT!” stomp-stomp “I love you!” stomp-stomp “moments of!” stomp-stomp “alwaysness!” stomp-stomp “yaaa, yaaa, yaaa!” :DD
The setlist was a banger. Dudeee. The show opened with Deja Vu, ahhhh!! I was a little sad not to hear the fan chant at all, not only for Deja Vu, but other songs as well...but again, the crowd was loud and we certainly made up for it, just- as a kpop veteran, I missed that part. I screamed my lungs out for 0X1=LOVESONG and LO$ER=LOVER like those were my dream songs to hear in concert and I'm still freaking out!! I was so glad to see Freefall get some love, it was so freaking awesome to see them preform Back For More, Chasing That Feeling, Deep Down, Dreamer, and Growing Pain. They absolutely killed Growning Pain, kpop who?
Speaking of killed: Killa nearly took me out. Okay, it DID take me out. I knew what was coming, yet nothing could prepare me for it. Yeonbin, subunit of my dreams, on stage, dancing together LIKE THAT, looking smoking hot, raising the temperature of the whole Tacoma Dome. It was an EXPERIENCE ya'll. I don't think I breathed the whole performance. I remember looking over at my sister and her mouth was just hanging out. Yup. They just did that. In front of my salad. Unreal. Wild.
Okay, I have to talk about the surprise performances of the night for me. Before the show I purposely avoided spoilers, I wanted to be surprised by the setlist. I was listening to the boys as I got ready for the concert, playing a game with myself, guessing which songs would TXT would preform? The track Thursday's Child came on and I was like, 'oh I love this song so much, but I know they will be doing Promise unit songs, so they won't do older unit tracks' and wrote it off. Then Trust Fund Baby came on. I have a special attachment to Trust Fund Baby, it just pulls at my heart, and it's probably my most listened to TXT track if I'm being honest. I wrote it off as an older album B-side and had negative zero expectations of hearing it that night. But I was wrong?!?! They freaking played Thursday's Child, adjusting it into a group song?! It was an amazing surprise, I was floored! But my surprise didn't end there. They played Trust Fund Baby. I sung my lungs out. I was so moved I cried you guys. Like it was so unexpected, I had told myself, 'no way' and then there they were, preforming it. Ah, I feel like crying just thinking about it.
Puma was also a surprise, but like I said above: they chewed that one up and spit it out, like damn!
AND THEY DID TINNITUS IN IT'S ENTIRETY. I am batshit about that song and I went INSANE when it came on oooooh booooy XDD The opening notes started and my cousin and I locked eyes and yelled, “whee!” and it just doesn't get better than that.
Farewell Neverland was shortened, saaaaad- and they did the same to Cat & Dog, but then came back and did the full version at the end of the show:) We all got to bark twice hahaha!
Runaway was one of my favorite performances of the night, one of my ultimate faves. They also did Magic, New Rules, Ghosting, Sugar Rush Ride (amazing remix!!), and Devil by the Window.
Tomorrow got it's moment to shine. Every song was preformed from the album, and let me tell you, Quarter Life was unreal. The Maknae Line was not be out done by the Hyungz. [chef's kiss]. I'll See You There Tomorrow's choreography was insane to see live and Miracle felt like a great big hug <3
I had an AMAZING experience at my first TXT concert. Truly, it couldn't have gone any better. I am so grateful to FINALLY have gotten to see my boys live. They are my everything and I will cherish the memories of this concert always. They promised to come back to Seattle if we promise to always stay MOAs. I promise.
#txt#tomorrow x together#shesailsships promise tour concert#it was mind blowing ya'll#I have such post-concert depression like you have no ideaaaa#I got so lucky with the setlist#but I need to catch the next tour#because I missed my beaus Blue Hour and Anti-Romantic#Opening Sequence and Can't You See Me#next time!!#if you made it to the end of this post#bless <3#about me

Lofty of BBC's Holby City was maybe one of the worst characters on the show. Is this a hot take? Do people outside of me and my family somehow adore Lofty? I can't imagine how. Here is my hateful mean and nasty reasoning. Read at your own risk I'm not accepting criticism at this time lmao:
A) he was effective comic relief on Casualty because it's the Emergency Department and moments of Lofty tripping over or doing a social faux pas are necessary tension breakers in episodes where people are constantly at deaths door.
Casualty is (when it's GOOD) required to have at least a third of the episode dedicated to a narsty horrible accident (hell yeah) and tensions are always running high so you can see how having someone a be awkward is not going to be the worst thing that happened to them that day.
Holby City is a more hospital staff focused show (although again. If there's less than a third of an episode focused on patients it is probably a bad episode. PLEASE HAVE PATIENTS IN YOUR HOSPITAL SHOW.) but there's a lot of waiting around for people in Holby because it's the longer term care zone. If Lofty is dropping stuff in the background of scenes with this lower energy it suggests he has some sort of untreated disability rather than 'argh I'm frantic OOPS'. He is painted more as incompetent on Holby compared to their more grounded staff. Which makes everyone ELSE look incompetent for putting up with it. (To be clear!!!! I'm not saying people with disabilities are incompetent lol if he had one it would have been a storyline!! And if he had one and none of the doctors who see him every day flagged it it also makes them look incompetent. He doesn't CARE enough to be CAREful. And in a show ABOUT caring for vulnerable people as far as you absolutely can. That's a big problem.)
Like the thing is. Characters on Casualty can be one note architypes forever because they're doing medical CSI. Holby spends so much more time with the cast, they NEED to become more complicated and Lofty never does, he's the same guy no matter what happens. The only other guy like that in Holby is the incomparable Guy Self and he's a villain! He is a villain for never changing or trying for anyone! And even he TRIES to reform occasionally. Lofty (and the SHOW) doesn't see a problem with him perpetually disengaging from making emotional choices, putting most of the work of maintaining relationships on other people, and generally coasting through a profession that everyone else is giving 110% to. The building could be on fire and he'd wander outside and not think to rescue any of the patients unless someone else told him to.
B) the B is for Bisexual. Bisexual representation on Holby City where he cheats on his husband with a woman. It's a yikes from me.
C) speaking of Dom. God their relationship was horrible. POOR FUCKING DOM. tw abuse. Lofty talks to and believes Dom's abusive ex over him? He hugs the guy that RECENTLY pushed Dom down a flight of stairs? And they're still supposed to be a cutesy couple by the end of this? He shuts down Dom's excitement constantly? Hello??
D) the D is again for Dom because. It's their one year anniversary. By the way it was on their honeymoon that Dom couldn't go on to support his sick mother that Lofty cheated on Dom. Just by the way. BY THE WAY if your husband says he's going to stay home for your honeymoon and insists you go by yourself so he can stay home to support his sick mother. Maybe. Hm. Stay and support him instead. Just a fucking thought.
Lofty decides it's not working and they amicably split up (Dom is an angel sent from gay heaven by the way. I perhaps have my biases.) Dom kindly gives him the quirky and personal gift he'd bought him for their one year wedding anniversary as Lofty unicycles away (it may have been a bicycle but I picture it as a unicycle). Lofty gives him. Nothing. Which means that this man sat there as they planned a big anniversary party and not ONCE. not ONCE did he consider buying Dom an anniversary present. Because he's an arse!!!!
E) he only does this :| or this :/ for any emotion. I love characters with flat affects, for example my close personal friends Hannah Supernatural, Abed Community, and also as well my actual real human friends who do this 💖💖💖. HOWEVER. Lofty doesn't show emotion any OTHER way either. There IS nothing going on in his heart. He has passion for nothing. He goes where other people point. He avoids giving his opinion because he doesn't have any. This makes him a bad tv character for a drama. Opinion IS story on Holby. There is an issue, they all take sides and fight over it, and he doesn't get involved.
Anyway. Show's been over for over a year I will never have to see Lofty's face ever again as long as I live unless I for some reason decide to do a bizarre Holby City Rewatch and keep going to season 19.
By the way as I was looking up when he came to the Holby side of Holby City Hospital, I found this quote from his wiki page:
"Lofty is portrayed as a nice person who is likeable and popular."
Hm. He IS PORTRAYED as a nice person. The show thinks he's a nice person who is likable. However.
This concludes my ministry of hate.
#perhaps i am giving more credit to holby's character arcs than they truly deserve lmao#it's possible I just like the characters more so invent more depth for them than those on Casualty#but I don't think that's true. charlie fairhead growth (nonexistent) vs jac naylor growth in the same timeframe#btw I hate charlie too is THAT a hot take dhahfjs he's annoyingggg#anti lofty#is that a tag snfbsnf#if YOU like lofty I don't hate YOU and I hope this doesn't come up in the Lofty tag#i just started thinking about this man and it pissed me off all over again. he SUCKS.#if you're reading this not knowing anything about these shows. hello 👋 👋 hi!!!#Casualty is the BBCs answer to ER and Holby City is a spinoff that focuses on long term patients#they are both set in the same hospital. they will go in a lift and arrive in the other show's location#frequently one will blow up or be otherwise destroyed (for example Casualty's hilarious helicopter crash for a 300th episode that killed.#zero members of the main cast. no permanent changes occuered from this helicopter crash)#also they have different pubs outside that the staff frequent. and different porters.#and different outside buildings which do not show the other side#and riots outside one while the other is unaffected#this is fine and good!!! but it is funny

it drives me crazy how people will bend over backwards to give male characters who have no personality or depth the most complex fanon interactions. and then they see a woman who is poorly written and go hmm. no thats not my problem, shes a bitch and the worst
#twist rambles#like this is SO bad w tal.ia. even her first ISSUE ALONE. has so much character and so much u can work w if u analyze her. is it great? no.#most of her writing is not. but you can read into it and you can find a problematic woman to get focused on ok. the ppl who are so like.#vehemently anti ta.lia and dont consider for idk. two seconds that maybe her bad writing is due to the really bad racism of her most common#authors fascinate me. can we take a step back and think about hmm. why would this action happen. what is the writer trying to say here.#sorry i will probably be making many a vague post as i read all of these but good goddddd oh i am going to need to blow up every prominent#author for her
