hi!!! im back 😎✌🏼 i was thinking about y/n again (she literally hasnt left my mind yet) and was wondering if you've had a particular person in mind when writing her either in personality or in appearance? in my head she looks a bit like sydney sweeney, but more european or scandi if that makes sense?
also what accent do you imagine y/n as having, cos i imagined her speaking at the panel a london accent (like me!!!), but i am curious to see how you picture y/n in your mind!!!
👋🏼
hello my love!!
to be completely frank with you,,, y/n is me and i am y/n sooooo she is a short middle eastern girl with long hair and she has an international school accent lol
but! that's the beauty of self inserts! you can imagine her as whatever your heart desires!
#in the original original story she is quite literally me#with references to my home town and my name and my talents and likes and dislikes#so i had to like sanitize it heavily to make it reader insert#there was like a whole matcha plot line because i love matcha#and a thing about how fred knows my full name which is 11 names long lol#and fans go crazy#it was just like super day dreamy and self indulgent#so yeah#my self inserts are pretty plain i feel#so most people can relate#but her inexperience#which is duh also obviously based on me#was a part i felt would showcase fred's kindness#and felt like it was needed for the story to progress#like in regards to their relationship#oh yeah there was also a thing about a blueberry sticker#because blueberries are like my thing#and it was like something fans would pick up on#it was mentioned often#but eh felt a bit redundant#andlike what if someone doesnt like blueberries!#theyd feel left out#so gone was that plotline#i hope this makes sense lol

Everyday I exist and every day I get more and more exhausted seeing the “lol Batman looks at Danny and goes “who’s gonna adopt this kid” He’s so adoptable!” posts.
#bones rants#bones speaks#dpxdc#bones writes in the tags#i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again#GIVE AN ACTUAL REASON FOR BRUCE TO WANT TO ADOPT DANNY!#this man had seen thousands of black hair and blue eyed kids in misfortunate situations and with backstories parallel to his own#so why is Danny the exemption and is the person he puts under his (bat)wing#make a reason and make it compelling. I understand forwarding a plotline to get to the scene you envisioned#but making a character one dimensional ain’t it man.#always ask why Danny is the exemption to the other thousands of kids who could’ve gone under Bruce’s wing. Bruce is a very paranoid person#and doesn’t bring people into his inner circle easily. offering a complete stranger a room in his home could happen#maybe he then relates to Danny and wants to help him with his need for Justice#and THEN adopts him but man oh man. look at all of the robins adoptions.#that shit wasn’t willy nilly and it had actual weight behind the adoptions

MAN I'm seriously so sad about season 2. Bc I wish act 2 had the same emotional impact on me as it appears to have on so many others. But rn I'm just somewhere between unable to care and actively annoyed by some of those writing decisions. Seriously the more I think about it the less I like it.
#act 3 come through please 🙏#I don't think it can salvage some of the things I have contentions with but still... please...#don't ask me about the silco vander flashback with jinxs + vis mom#or the bizzare choice to do so much of the storytelling through this weird music video format they've got going on#completely stripping it of the weight these plot beats could've had if they were... normal scenes#and also missing the point of how the music was used in season 1 and what made it so effective#bc it was complementary to instead of replacing the storytelling#seriously don't ask me about these things I will spontaneously implode on the spot#whyyyyy would they recontextualize season 1 like this with that flashback#to me it kind of ruins the character dynamics and themes in s1. it just makes me so sad you have no idea#also what even are they doing with Jinx rn for real#aaarghhhh just... so many things that are making me scratch my head#also I'm so terribly sorry but I could not care less about Isha sorry lol#like i get that its sad conceptually but she was such a non-character that i struggle to feel impacted at all#same with sky tbh. i thought her role in s1 was alright but there is so much emotional weight put on her now#in terms of her relationship to Viktor but that was barely established so it's weird to have her around#and clearly you're supposed to care but they haven't given me much reason to#isha and sky were non-characters just there to die to further the development of other characters#they didn't really have anything going on on their own and that's just a type of character and plot device that does nothing for me#also i thought the war between zaun and piltover + internal struggles in zaun bc silcos gone would be the main focus#but that stuff seems so sidetracked rn#also sorry i dont like what they did with vander and warwick either. that man should've stayed dead lol#it honestly just makes his death feel less impactful and i dont know what this is supposed to do for the story or the themes???#that just feels like a pointless plotline that is taking up time that could've been spent on other things#i just... i could go on like this for a while like there are so many things that just puzzle me#it's so weird considering how tight and thematically consistent season 1 was#let's see where act 3 goes but... i kinda have a bad feeling about it ngl#obv im glad others are enjoying it and this is just my opinion! also a lot of this are probs just my personal tastes anyway#arcane spoilers

basically the end half of the episode comes down to "They would not fucking do/say that"
#don't you hate it when you know more about something than the creators#kevin would not say that about his dad. he is a good father but nv doesn't know that so they wouldn't have let him take the boy that easily#carlos has been flanderized nearly this entire season except for his ONE thing about symbolism#lauren would not leave that easily and if that was the only way they could let her live then we should've gone into the horror of the#previous episodes more. moved more of that into this one#we just. nuked the boy and the desert otherworld and that whole other plotline instantly#and do not get me started on charles and donovan. killing#wtnv spoilers#welcome to night vale spoilers#AND tamikas reduction to just being a peacekeeper. please god let the haitus bring light into brinknors hearts

Talk to me Abt your pokemon ocs....
This reminds me how i never even posted the ref i had for one of them here because i legit forgot to do so and it had ben too long since when i realized it 😭
I'm gonna use this to loredrop the whole fan region tho so bear with me for a minute.
So me and some close friends mad up this fan pokemon region called Liros a couple years back when we were all fixated on the franchise for a while and the lore of this region is that 3000 years ago the ultimate weapon AZ build in Kalos fired against a region that was enemies with them back then and when faced with impending doom the two legendaries of Liros (one representing dreams and another reality) rose towars the laser beam to lessen the damage and protect their land, the pokemon of the region did something similar with shielding their trainers during the chaos.
The legendaries weren't able to stop the lader from reaching Liros, but they lessened the damage significantly with their own bodies (otherwise the whole place would have just been nuked out of existence) which left them in a state where they're forever weakened and can never recover to full health due the long lasting aftereffects of the laser's power known as "The Wither". So after saving the region these two went onto rest in secluded regions of Liros deep underground and they reside there till this day, they're alive, can still interact and send out attacks, but forever in this state where they're at very low health in a sense. But through the centures they've spend resting they wished for their land to recover and from said wishes was born the mythical of the region, which is an entity that watched over the inhabitants of Liros, basically doing what the legendaries can no longer do in a sense.
The Wither also affected the fauna and pokemon of the region, especially those that actively tried to shield others from the laser's impact (which was A LOT). This borderline incurable disease led to the extinction of all pokemon native to the Liros region and till this day there are large areas of land that are completely devastated by the Wither (it doesn't spread, but it's incredibly hard to recover what was lost). A restoration movement was created after the surviours began to group and try to figure out what to do, the leader of this indicative being later known as The great hero of Liros and both this man and his family + descendants dedicated their life to rebuilding the region for centuries to come until things were brought to a sense of normalicy again (which still hapened at least 700+ years before current time)
Nowadays Liros has been repopulated both by a large number of immigrants and their descendants over the years and also pokemon native from other regions that were either brought over by humans or naturally made their way to the Liros region, some of which assumed Lirosian forms that somewhat resemble extinct pokemons that were once native to Liros.
In addition, there's a recent project that works on trying to bring back extinct pokemon through their fossils and careful DNA reconstruction. The protagonist's mother is the lead researcher and the starters of the region are extinct moms she was able to bring back and enthused her kid to train and document their growth and behavior :]
Lastly, the evil team of this fan region is known as The Ameliorate project and their goal is to finds and harness the lasting power of the dream legendary with this machine their creater to essentially break to the fabric of time and rewite reality to make it so that the Ultimate weapon didn't hit Liros all those years ago.
OKAY!!! ONTO THE ACTUAL CHARACTERS I HAVE
Since i forgot to post her ages back I'll start with her this time around! (I'll probably redesign her if i draw these gals again tho)
Morgan and her brother, Laurent, have kinda of a weird relationship. She loves him and always wants to be there to support/help him but it's hard to tell if Laurent feels the same way towards her, they were very close as kids, but nowadays he tends to treat her more like a coworker than actual family and constantly piles her with work wether it is from the pokemon league or in reconstruction/revival projects their family funds.
Laurent has always been better at pokemon battling than her, which paired with his natural charisma led to him getting to live the dream of being a famous pokemon trainer and longtime champion of the Liros pokemon league, even tho Morgan herseld enjoyed battleling a lot too. But alas, she was essentially resigned as the one that keeps everything up and running from behind the scenes while Laurent is the lovable public figure.
She's.. Glad to help? Things do tend to get very taxing on her at times tho.
Keeping around the pokemon league, he's my elite four member.
Big buff autistic woman that's hyperfixated on machines and engineering since forever, so naturally eletric type pokemon gravitated towards her and she took training and battling with them as a hobby that ended up granting her more attention than she originally thought it would.
She was found in a local tournament and hand-picked by Laurent to enter the pokemon league, which Sammy considers to be her biggest accomplishment not because it's a renowned position to have but because it was through it that she met Dian, another elite four member that later became her husband :]
Desc mentions he's the steel type especialist but let it be known he is also a cyborg! (+ My friend @/kiruvry's oc)
Dian wound up in a strange accident several years ago and had a good portion of his body heavily injured, hence why the need for robotic replacements. When Samantha first met him she got super super excited to see someone like him and started asking a bunch of questions which were odd and overwhelming to Dian so.. Yeah, not a great start. But she really didn't mean to come off like that to him, she just got too excited and ended up giving a bad first impression. (which isn't something new to her at all)
She apologized for that and overtime they grew closer and closer together to the point they've been married for a few years by current time and Sammy is the one to repair and do maintenance on his mechanical parts.
Overall she's a very very enthusiastic and loud person that often comes off too strong to people👍 she can also be rather naive and overly trusting at times.
Last but not least (she wa actually the first one i made!) is lil scaredy cat Veronica!
Basically, fire type gym leaders are always very loud and outgoing people so i wanted to make one that was just. The total opposite of that-
So Veronica is a very very shy and anxious young woman that really isnt fit for the gym leader position, especially in a region like Liros which only loses to Galar in terms of how big and popular the gym challenge is. Ever since she's come to Liros there's always people wanting to talk and interview her and endless league events she's set ti attent alongside other gym leaders she doesn't even know how to talk to. Which led to her avoiding her duties a a gym leader during this first go of hers as one, since Laurent didn't allow her to step down from inheriting her father's position.
It's been a very stressfully couple months for her, she misses the quietness of the alolan town she was born in, but at least the beach hidden behind a rocky formation where she currently resides offers a similar feeling.
#old art but i still think these look decent to repost haha#anyways. Liros is not a post-apocalypic region or anything but as I've stated. they've got some problems going on#this whole plotline came in mainly because none of us is super into designing fakemon 😶 we really just wanted to fuck around w human#characters so we thought “what if they're just gone”. so we can use preexisting moms for our Ocs teams and all is fun and dandy❤️#do i even have a tag for Liros?? it's been so long#hyena ramblings#hyena scribbles#pkmn oc#Chairwoman Morgan#Elite four Samantha#Elite four Dian#Gym leader Veronica#Liros region#pokemon

I think my major issue with the finale (and s6 overall) is that Buck had SO much going on, 5 different thematically similar internal and external conflicts, and I don't feel like the show did nearly enough to weave them together or show the progress of them onscreen.
I have no idea why Buck was no longer scared to "pick the wrong couch again." I know why he was interested in Natalia specifically, but not the bigger emotional picture of how/why he got over this emotional hurdle.
I have no idea how he's changed since the lightning strike - they told us he has, but what's actually going on in his head? I have literally no idea.
I don’t know what kind of growth he experienced via the donor baby. I know he decided he could be donor-not-dad from the get go, stuck to that throughout the pregnancy, and then had a wistful moment gazing at his progeny. But that doesn't really feel like a big emotional moment when he's been saying it's not his kid for 8 months.
I know he started the season wanting more professional responsibility and ended it taking charge when the 118 was in danger, but I don't know what skills he acquired in the interim to allow him to do it successfully. I don't know how he feels about it. I don't even know if by the finale he still WANTED to lead. It was fine enough payoff, but it certainly wasn't an "Eddie suiting up in Mayday" kind of payoff.
I know his coma dream taught him Lessons but I don't know how they're reflected in his real life?
Compare how his arcs this season played out to Hen and med school, or Eddie and dating and I think you can see the massive deficiencies in Buck's season. And I'm totally aware that they need to leave things open so they have somewhere to go next season, but all of his (many, many) storylines having such a lack of emotional depth is a real bummer.
I think it would've been magnitudes better if he had really struggled on screen with the donation, so that moment of him handing the baby off to Kameron would've shown some real growth. A single conversation about him needing to not be scared to live because he DIED as an explanation for dating again. We sort of half-got a lot of these things - Buck telling everyone Kameron was pregnant and the onesie, Buck at the cemetery saying every day is a gift - but they didn't really commit to any of it, and they certainly didn't give themselves the time to flesh all of it out. All in all, for a very Buck heavy season, I don't feel like I know Buck any better, and I know he's made some steps forward, but only because they told us he did. I really would've liked to see the emotional journey to get there.
#obviously I have not gone back and rewatched the season in full so idk if this thought process will hold up#but i really feel that they gave him SO much to do that he kinda wound up doing nothing#and while yes a lot of things may have to happen offscreen on a show like this#i feel like his storylines required so much inference on very little content#and then in the end the show went 'this is what this plotline was about :)' which is. not very satisfying at all#I really wanted to feel satisfied with Buck handing off that baby.#but 'guy who's fine just being a donor having a moment with his offspring before giving him to mom' is like. not very poignant lmao#sliding the writers a note that says 'show don't tell'#i think these are my last critical thoughts on the finale cuz theres not much else to say#911 spoilers#911 fox

trying to keep all my clemviminnie thoughts contained until i get to episode 3 but

its hard
#telltale was CRAZY for this btw!! the drama of it all ALWAYS gets me#violet blaming herself for her gf/minnies death. clem helps her open up again. starts dating clem. finds out minnie is still alive?#saved violet telling clem she has nothing to worry about and she'll fight minnie if she has to to keep clem and her loved ones safe#kidnapped violet getting brain poisoned by minnie into turning against clem after feeling betrayed and abandoned by her#saved vi shooting minnie to save clem!!!!!!!!! but cant leave minnie behind because she already left her once and she cant do it again#vi begging minnie to stop trying to fucking kill them but shes too far gone. the 3 of them fight to the DEATH!!!#now add all that to the parallels and dark mirrors going on between clem and minnie in the A plot like the tension is off the charts#plus the parallels you can draw between clem and vi but those are less “you are my dark mirror” and more “we are the same i understand you”#HOW are the girlies not still talking about this#you know what i partially blame myself i dont talk about it enough either. i forget how many things ive left in my wips folder sometimes#UGH its all so good violets route just ads so much Flavor to the clem/minnie plotline its Delicious i couldnt imagine it Not being there#i neeeeeeeed to draw them fighting and being gay and maybe bloody even#if u cant tell i really want to get back to that wip i posted a few weeks ago but im Trying to Restrain Myself#i love forcing myself to take things slow sometimes really makes the brain shift into overdrive#twdg#violentine#it speaks

I’m finding that the laziest moments of Doctor Who’s writing are the ‘retroactive twists’ - when the show runner reveals something happened way back over there, in the past, before they were even running the show. And we swear it happened, way over there, far back, and you didn’t see it because of reasons but it��s definitely been happening! And it totally makes sense and I absolutely didn’t just pull it out my ass to justify my paper thin plotline! All this kind of writing does is make me miss self contained season length plots. We’ve had people complaining that Moffat was guilty of the “this thing is big and scary and it’s going to happen, oh god it’s showing up, we’re going to discover what it truly is….. next season!!!!!!” plotline (and yes. he was. twelve is my fav doctor but yeah Moffat loved a mysterious horse and a big stick) but now suddenly when RTD gets out his own mysterious horse and a big stick, it’s got to be genius! everything is eventually going to make sense! and we’re absolutely not being had by a man who used to be able to write this show and is now a hack!
#FUCK OFF RUSSELL#write a good show or go home christ alive#it’s just nostalgia glasses. we could get an episode where all 10 does is sit in a daybed and list the symptoms of shingles#and a lot of people on this website would be falling over themselves to try say that yeah it’s not good! it’s not well written! but it’s fun#and obviously that’s all doctor who needs to be. fun! not good or interesting or well written or good scifi but fun. just mediocre mush fun.#im sorry that you love dave 10nant so much (name censor bc tbf this ain’t his fault he’s just here)#that you cannot handle admitting that RTD is bad at his job now or that bringing 10 back as 14 was a shit idea#and that plotline was boring and kinda dumb#but it’s true. it’s gone downhill. RTD does not know what this show is anymore#and I frankly think he’s gone from a fanboy being able to write his dw dreams and make them episodes#from a man who views this show as his little pet project that sprung him into success#the best episodes are written by people who love this show. adore it. think of it as something big and grand#and are so thrilled that they get to add part of themselves to it with their stories and words#it’s why he used to be good. and now he doesn’t really care anymore and it shows.#it’s why my favourite doctor is my favourite doctor (and probably why people adore 9 + 10)#because you can feel the love exuding from every performance. it’s a childhood dream. there’s not time to waste a second of it.#sorry but this season was bad and the overarching story was bad#and the Christmas special is going to be bad. because it hinges on the idea we’re going to ‘find out more next time!’#shut up and tell me now. or at least in the season. ‘ooh ruby’s snow power will be explained next season’ NO! EXPLAIN IT NOW#doctor who#dw#dw negativity#rtd2 era#rtd2#rtd

to be honest I think Rose Tyler should have died for real in Doomsday (opinions that would have had me hunted for sport in 2013)
#and this is coming from someone who likes Rose! I do! honestly! I actually like her a lot! IN seasons 1 and 2 that is.#after that it's just like come on oh my god. she should have just died.#it would have made the plotline more meaningful too!#I'm a tragedy enjoyer and frankly the possibility of her coming back ruined that for me#like every time she's brought up after that episode and the Doctor's like “she's gone 😢😢😢.......but like. not really”#it's just so annoying to me. sorry.#oh and they shouldn't have made Martha The Rose Replacement but that goes without saying and is also like. a WHOLE other conversation#sorry I know no one cares about my Doctor Who opinions but I need an outlet

oh, I vividly remembered that last scene from HxH, what the heck
#I've gone like 20 episodes without remembering much of anything beyond a few ''oh yeah I remember that plotline'' moments#and then someone threatened Gon and Killua went after him secretly#and the entire scene came back to me in VIVID detail#I went from ''haha is Killua going to pull the So I'm An Assassin And You Will Not Touch My Best Friend routine?? lol classic''#to OH THIS IS THE SCENE WITH THE KNIFE. AND THE MIRROR. AND THE ''CLOSE YOUR EYES SLOWLY''#how many times must I have rewatched that as a kid to remember it that clearly?? left a Huge impression apparently#I guess I've always wanted to be Killua#all the scenes and plotlines I remember best have been his#the skateboard introduction#the Pulling Out A Man's Heart From His Chest#and now apparently the mirror scene#the only other scenes I know are coming involve Killua's sister; Killua developing lightning powers; and Killua grief-stricken about Gon#Robin speaks#hunterxhunterblogging#oh and the cat alien#I don't know if anyone here has seen hxh by the way lol I may just be speaking into the void. but that's alright#I don't actually recommend hunter x hunter but I like it#but it's like. white bread to me. not the most nutritious but good for getting me through rough times#I do not have the spare brainpower for anything more serious than this right now

dont think i can even make a "which thing did not happen in cofa" poll bc maybe 3 or 4 events happened in this book total and only one of them was insane enough to even be considered for the poll
#so many plotlines and none of them actually did anything to advance the plot......#and alec was gone for half of the book too?? 😭#still a banger of a book though bc it gave me maureen and she's my favourite minor character ever#more insane superpowered 14 year old girls please.#personal#vic read tmi

very sad to see shawn moving out of mr. turner's apartment but i know that in the long term a 15 year old living with a friend who happens to be an adult who has never in his life cared for a child or committed to anything is not exactly a healthy arrangement for a child.
#do i think shawns dad is exactly a good parent? no. but i do think his situation while his dad is gone is worse in some ways#i think living with a guy to whom you can describe your relationship with as his little buddy is probably not great#altho i am sad that turners going to be written off even tho their relationship was certaibly flawed i thought their connection#was really meaningful idk#also the fact that so many of his plotlines have been about feeling like nobody wants him or like his sutuation is unstable ultimatelh#i think it will be better for him to at least have a permanent home like the fact that turner never filed for guardianship papers was really#the final straw for him. also weird that he just lived with that guy for a yr despite having no legal relationship to him

pb should have killed off whoever you had the most relationship points with in book 2 but they're cowards who have never written a true branching path before
#the fact that they wanted to kill off an LI but Only Raf regardless of your relationship w him makes me feral#killing off an LI could have been interesting!!!! if they hadnt gone the lazy route#+having only side characters die & the mc experience no trauma makes that whole plotline fall so hard

being alive at the time i gleaned some general elements abt encanto but never actually heard we don't talk about bruno beyond awareness it existed popping off & i think i heard like the title recited off key off rhythm but in a way that indicates speak singing nonetheless lol so upon experiencing it it's like oh but it's the Verses? while the last refrain goes harder but prior to that it's comparatively underwhelming to said verses which feels appropriate like verses / pieces of a larger picture & that a "we don't talk about him" as a disappointing Lid on infinitely richer more characterful & dynamic "but: talking about him" instances. like well personally it'd be like um seven foot frame....anyway besides being able to firsthand go like oh damn Real (the kind of thing you know exists if alive at the time) it's like alright hang on lol. one thing when a core theme is yeah like "is it a refuge if 'especial' vulnerability ultimately gets pushed out rather than made safer" subset like the parties whose even observation of truths (problems) & drawing attention to them is seen as Ruining Things, like if you're painted as Making futures that aren't simply what's desired or reassuring rather than a guidance via just observing & sharing the truth. but then it's like whaddaya mean living in fear of bruno stuttering and stumbling you could always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling lmao like now that's just Association between the Truth Perceiving & Telling behavior & behavior that's just apparently distinctive of the same person. & like Not Accidentally when [what if people were magic] specifics are obviously primarily abt a metaphorical meaning & like, indeed it was made clear like oh this situation isn't Just b/c [boo we hate your prophecies] & that [an Ability that isn't directed towards what anyone Wants / is "weird" even by these magic standards] isn't Coincidentally given to someone who just so happens to already be "weird" in other ways & be set up to have a different perspective & be pushed away due to having the supposed "extra" vulnerability of unmet needs / insufficient support, same as someone who doesn't "correctly" have any kind of magic ability....like yeah banger and also like Oh Yeah Kind Of Devastating re: that metaphorical resonance allowing for like [set the metaphor aside] now hang on with this about this disabled family member lol. misinterpretation to The Ruinerrr / The Problemmm / The Maliciousss etc (i.e. the scapegoatinggg) despite their efforts likely entirely to the contrary. then despite like, efforts aside, Just Existing, always kind of muttering & mumbling like & what of it. & then like oh sorry weird pets. weird [auspicious for adaptable tenacious thriving surviving; either way simply creatures, existing] pets.
truly like As Is The Idea I'm Sure quickly becomes like hands behind back standing at the window Uh Oh Sisters musing on all the [disabled person] metaphorical & already literal elements there. blair witching it in contemplation like We've All Been There whether being so resented for the mere disruption of "existing in a group as the 'abnormal' odd one out" or like people talking shit abt anything associated w/you as soon as you've left the room, which is also made relevant like, this wasn't Only directed at this person when seemingly permanently gone, nor were they unaware / unaffected prior....pacing in the Musing parlor like things don't Have to be compared to billions but i only ever even see so many things & it's like billions sure is like "get scapegoated rword" & then said scapegoating is presented as only beneficial & we hate autists & even beyond that it's like, grabbing billions, Imagine If Things Meant To Be About Something Were About Something. quite a contrast when they are & furthermore like, deliberate thought & Care for [who gets scapegoated & why] & the truth of like, people getting pushed aside & out who have a key perspective & are primed / liable to come through for others similarly vulnerable & the supposedly Ruinous, Problems Generating disruptiveness is actually the strongest effort to make essential changes to a group. & come through with like, it'd be undermining thee point if it was "reassuring" us like oh haha people will be supportive b/c bruno will be more normal, so great that it Didn't like no, no Normality Reassurance(tm), presence of abnormalities(tm), Good, & everyone Can Deal b/c if you don't then it's pushing this person away, is exactly what happens, including even if they're still Around but are being mistreated b/c that is entirely part of that pushing away like anyone's victim blaming is ready to pounce at any time but if someone can't stand to stay / leaves b/c they can't see another option like that's not out of nowhere nor Regardless of what full support & flexibility they were getting lol. these Active Measures everyone loves so much, which are everywhere always & would include Staying & Trying To Make It Work & those efforts would be "disruptive" & resented & Bringing It On Oneself & etccc smh
that is to all say like. Woww when clearly basically the core thread was these beats of like, the crucial site of [thee scapegoated], & why that comes down on someone & how that plays out. endless ideas about how someone weird(tm) & disabled (&/or queer. but there's no Or here lol. & again like it's a Context like, to even be the one person without kids? likely not living up to "full" correct sexuality in that way alone; any oppression's logics of "inferiority" being logics of ableism, ready examples being that "inferior" race, gender, sexuality (& their experiences as people classed as inferior) all being pathologized as disordered) are seen & treated as someone Ruining Things & who cannot belong like whew. bracing. winding. which, i also recall like i was watching with headphones & during this one dialogue pause i was like "?? what's this Extra Sound i heard there" & had to go over it like twice before being hit upside the head like well it Was still the dialogue pause but it was also bruno Stuttering in a very quiet whisper for the duration of that pause before continuing like iiiiiiii x_x
#[sitting waiting right here] for billions to have its vulnerable weird scapegoated misfit outcasts actually band together lmao....#like Sure Doesn't b/c billions is like we all hate weirdos & we all love telling them to shut tf up & go away to die or w/e. correctly#can't believe ultimately the Different fund disappears w/o its scapegoat & the Correct ''weird'' char is full axe cap mode finally#& it's sure not a Comment when billions affectionately gives them their free heavenly reward & Ensure zero scapegoating consequences#the [imagine if something about something was about something] approach to Banished Relatives being thoughtful & loving like#& here you see how even As they're banished everything isn't Really fixed for it incl. that people aren't Really just happy he's gone#billions is like no we killed him And everyone has gladly & legitimately forgotten he exists (save the instant it's time to use him)#the hilarious(tm) tragedies surrounding rian like billions' can't make her ''care'' abt winston be anything save more violence#can't pretend rian was anything more than [again we all Know your nads like w/taylor like w/winston] bagina + dialogue source combo in s6#when it's still dimly relevant for prince in s7 but you miss Nothing re: rian if you have no idea that plotline exists#& speaking of actual ''weirdness'' rian was never allowed to have: the tragedy of the tension of Closeted Transness present on screen fr#just as billions has no idea / further willingness to let rian be so ''weird'' as to actually care abt winston or abt not being a bully Lol#meanwhile i figured like oh i'll like a scapegoat. did know ahead of time like bruno's just some guy; not even ''redeemable'' antagonist#but In Practice & w/all that beloved Disabledness & crucial appreciation like you Need this guy; the understanding is Key#like well ofc i would kill for him. ofc just constant like mhm go off king slay fire etc. god tier character cherished forever thanks#but then also like im sure a zillion [intention; inspiration; thoughts] going into Tfw Family Things characters; a zillion interpretions &#thoughts to follow like it truly is Arresting like this clarity on A Disabled Person In The Group like. much much to consider & whew.#reference point like when autistic ppl in some job see an obvious [problem to future mess] pipeline; so you know bruno madrigal.

Oh. it just clicked why so many newer vivisection fics (including ones that happen offscreen) bother me. it's because they always happen post-reveal, where Maddie & Jack know that it's Danny & are doing it anyways (out of character). older ones (like. the ones that got the trend going) always had the reveal happen either during the vivisection for max angst or after if the author leaned more towards a chaptered fic with character & emotional development (all in character). Hm
#refusing to interact with canon & instead playing a game of fanon telephone has struck again#i feel like this is the result of seeing something get popular & loving it yourself even but completely misunderstanding why#this is mostly a writing gripe for me cuz like. the rgw->viv plotline has so many characterization & logistical issues that trip people up#it's not the character development or the plot. it's the vivisection. so it doesn't matter how it happens or how ooc it is right?#WRONG!! WE LIKE VIVIFICS BECAUSE OF THE STUFF YOU'RE IGNORING!!!#this is entirely a writing gripe for me because the rgw->viv plotline creates so many characterization issues that regularly trip people#wouldn't it just be easier to like. just not have a reveal. so you don't have to juggle all that#a good way to get around this is to just have to GIW do it or again just not have a reveal with his parents#but i guess that's not instantly gratifying enough#sorry if im coming across as aggressive im just completely fucking confused why yes viv no reveal plot is basically nonexistent#it's like. Right There. why does it have to be a reveal gone wrong every time#it's not even a ''they don't believe it's actually Danny'' rgw it's just. they decide to vivisect Danny.#for seemingly no reason other than ''let's take a look inside''#im mostly just frustrated that there seems to be no brainstorming or editing or even drafting going on#you guys just write an alpha version of the first draft & publish that. insane behaviour to me#to be clear i mean like. you wouldn't get into that thing where you don't know how to continue & end up going on hiatus for a year#to puzzle it out & then probably never end up finishing it#if you just like. took a minute to at least mostly finish the first draft do a second draft#wouldn't it just be easier to not have a reveal at all so you don't have to juggle all that
