What makes White Collar hold up so much better than other police procedurals:
It was part of the "pretty happy shows with gorgeous ensemble casts and a charismatic weird guy" USA network era but it somehow used that to be about stuff that is so REAL
What is justice? Is our system fair? Can you be a criminal and still be a good man? Can you be a good man and still work for the system?
The bad guys are rich assholes, and people defrauding families out of their homes, and unethical pharmaceutical companies. People manipulating energy supply out of greed resulting in blackouts which are showing *harming a dog,* aka how to show something is monstrous in a pg show written by a white person. Class exists in this universe in more ways than having a cardboard concept of a "rich guy."
The bad guys include police, FBI agents, prison staff, judges, senators. Those people cause real harm, obstruct justice, plant evidence, kill people. It's shown how the system protects them and harms regular people.
The harm that causes the main character to go from wanting to be part of the system, to subverting and working against it, is him finding out about an act of police corruption, brutality, and murder--and what's more, that if he became a cop, that's what he could become.
The harm that causes the main character to be outside the white picket fence is that the system failed his family after that act. What happened to Neal's mom? Why did nobody besides Helen step in? They had to check in with US Marshals, did nobody notice this kid didn't have an adult fit to parent?
So Neal turns to found family. And let's be real, heavily polyamory coded found family at that. But he keeps chasing the idea of a girl who will be everything. But he's got all this attachment trauma so he never does. But because found family is real family, even the people who freaking played the characters are still connected a decade later

I just looked at the price on the back of a book I’ve had for a bit over a decade and it was four. fucking. dollars. Just four with no taxes. No extra 97cents or something before taxes. Just a round number that you would add taxes to.
I googled the price of a new edition and it was almost thirteen! Not an even thirteen, it was like 12.96 or something. Close enough that it’s basically thirteen but if you’re adding multiple items together to try and get the price on a purchase with more items it would add more confusion.
#emma posts#it was also a bit difficult to find a new copy on my phone#the edition I have was selling for wildly varying prices as a vintage book now#but that’s just a kids chapter book from a fairly large publisher#I know inflation happens and stuff but holy shit#buying things at the book fair makes so much more sense now#I bought that for 4$ plus taxes at the schoolastic book fair#it was maybe 12 years ago?#I could look at the publishing date for a better idea#the series had just switched publishers and the first few were being re-released at the time#before the new publisher and the author finished the series#four dollars though#I had to check the book because I know the current price of many paperbacks and I knew that series was still in print#but what lead to this was the price tag falling off an old brush I found from like. 2009 or 2010#and the tag on this very large brush was seven dollars#which seemed cheap so I looked at current brush prices online but since the exact same brush isn’t being sold and brush prices vary more#it was a bit harder for me to get an idea of it. books though. books I know#I’ve even bought stuff from that publisher recently (they have a lot of novel and comic translations)#but it also struck me how the old price tag was an even four and an even seven dollars but all new ones had 97 or 98 cents#that ten dollars from helping out grandma wouldn’t have even gotten me one book with modern prices#but back then I could get TWO#even just seven could have gotten me a book and some fun school supplies back then#to have that experience now you would need to give your kid a 20$#I understand inflation okay? I am just taken off guard rn and having realizations#I’m going to add to this post again. when I say wildly varied vintage prices I mean WILDLY varied#one dude was trying to sell it on Amazon for 55$ but on eBay it was 4 to 5$#I bought the next three books in the series from that same print. signed. for 13$ together#I had older editions of those and wanted a full series of just the ones that were being re-released during my reading time

PARKER SELFRIDGE | HEADCANONS
_____________
• Uses others to make himself look more intimidating than he actually is - because of his smaller frame. Pretty much always surrounded by SecOps soldiers to have a sense of control. His very intense and passive-aggressive attitude definitely makes up for his physique.
• Hates seeing blood. Very prone to feeling dizzy at the sight of anything graphic.
• Very cleanly and probably obsessed with disinfectants to some extent. Doesn’t really like meddling with the marines or the jungle because both are absolutely NOT clean in his opinion.
• Almost always cold. Very cold hands.
• Can’t sit still, his brain is always active and he needs to move or keep himself busy in order to stay calm.
Tumblr media
• Actually misses life on Earth to an extent - perhaps the golf courses / tournaments in particular - and the thought of being on a foreign planet intimidates him because he feels like he is on his own, and vulnerable at that. His deep emotional connection to the life he knew on earth is represented by the many trophies and trinkets displayed in his office at hell’s gate.
• Won’t easily admit his insecurities and weaknesses towards others because he feels like he has to keep up the image of being a respectable authority figure, which is hard enough given how different he is from all the SecOps soldiers surrounding him.
• Will talk for hours about corporate topics such as money and statistics and interrupt you constantly. Very engaged and emotionally charged when it comes to important conversations. However he is not really used to talking about topics that do not involve work and direct confrontations about more private topics might startle him a bit.
• Hates being touched whenever tense/stressed. Physical actions without permission leads to sensory overloads for him in most cases.
Tumblr media
• Incredibly scared of death/dying, and being on a hostile planet doesn’t help lessen said fears.
• Mostly eats his meals on his own because the sheer idea of sharing canteens with both soldiers as well as scientists who all talk over each other is a nightmare for him.
• Very passionate cook, incredibly interested in good cuisine.
• Likes when others bring up his career journey and corporate status. It boosts his ego a lot and he enjoys bringing up his hierarchical position a lot in conversations in a desperate attempt to maintain respect and dominance.
Tumblr media
• Deep down he may experience remorse for the actions he decided to support thanks to the pressure Quaritch applied on him before the battle of home-tree but he’ll probably never take the opportunity to express that remorse openly. He will most likely always put the RDA’s interests over his internal conflicts because he feels like he has more control over the administration than over his own mind.
• Quaritch knows exactly what makes him tick - and he uses that knowledge to manipulate a conflicted and stressed out Parker into making the “right decisions”.
• Very known and popular in his work environment but rather lonely and reserved when it comes to his private life. Doesn’t have many real friends. He has a heavily corporate mindset, which he applies to any situation or conversation, which makes him a very difficult personality to remain patient with.
• Easily becomes very teary-eyed and startled whenever he is put into a situation that makes him feel vulnerable, which is a big contrast to his otherwise direct and aggressive nature. This applies to both positive and negative emotions.

I still find it hilarious that it was me, quiet little unassuming me, who ended up being the family Bad Influence and the Troublemaker
15 year old me would be both impressed and horrified

Everyone's talking about Wish right now.... The only thing I can say about WISH.......let's hope it's like a Frozen 1 type thing. Where the trailers were ABSOLUTE ASS but then the film turned out really good. TT0TT
I mean.....there is a difference between the two. While the west got weird trailers that didn't matter for Frozen (Olaf vs Sven carrot thing), JPN and other countries got trailers that actually showcased the plot and drama in an interesting way.... And Wish.....well...... Wish at least gives us a villain and a part of an argument.....and I can't see that argument leading anywhere.....great tbh. So maybe not the best comparisons but let's hope for the Frozen 1 vibe!
Anyway I'm not liking what I'm seeing so far, but I'm hoping its better than the ass disaster Frozen 2 and Ralph 2 were. ;w;
#silly talks#disney#WISH#frozen#as frozen's first fan and the one that didn't care the trailers were ass......my heart goes out to Wish fans rn kldjsafkljsaf#'silly that's pretty bold of you to consider yourself THE FIRST frozen fan-" i drove that damn bandwagon y'all just jumped on later#no really around 2009-2010 i remember looking at the Snow Queen disney page wikipedia page to see if it finally got taken off of hiatus she#*off the hiatus shelf#i remember the damn day the announced Dinsey would take a crack a the Snow Queen adaptation again#then when they announced Kristen Bell for a character (super estatic cause i wanted to hear her singing even more after watching Veronica m#*after watching veronica mars)#The Snow Queen has been a fav fairy tale of mine since i was a baby so yeah I was excited to say the least TT0TT#and yeah 5 seconds into the movie (the day it released mind you! yes I was there I remember how dead the theater was) i was like 'I love it#I ended the movie and wanted to go back in too i loved it that much#safe to say I was BLOWN AWAY by how much OTHERS loved it esp after everyone was bitching abt it leading up to that film TT0TT#anyway love frozen 1 it's my fav#hate frozen 2 it's hot garbage I never felt more lied to by trailers than this movie holy shit#i'm like 8 rants away from writing a complete dissertation on how Frozen 2 completely misunderstood Frozen 1 in it's entirety#(note: I dont think F1 is perfect nor do I think it's a masterpiece I just happen to love it a lot uwu)#anyway I hope wish has a similar thing (sleeper hit release part....not a shitty sequel part)

4$ for a Letter format pdf that you can print and fold yourself. it’s very tiny though, you will need reading glasses, but you get a physical copy! 
(obviously don't print in the library or resell)

Hi, have you ever thought of writing a modern au fanfic? I would die to see modern au by you! I mean something like Ronal, Tonowari etc. fostering/ adopting Spider who is a foster kid. Of course, this is just an example of what I mean, not a request 😅 I love all your works!
Have a good day/night <3
Hi anon!!!!
That is a very good question, and thank you for asking it!
I do like Modern AUs in general, because AUs are my jam~ but, in terms of writing one for Avatar, I have to say there isn't much of a want to on my end. Mainly because the whole world of Pandora is such an amazing feat of imagination that putting the characters into our world feels not quite boring, but strange to say the least.
However, I will say that the idea of Ronal and Tonowari adopting tiny foster kiddo Spider is very cute. And who knows, maybe I might write something small for a modern AU if it takes my fancy.
(But obviously after ftnadol and the ikran racing au @be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie 's mellissa has put into my head which is now living there rent free).
And thank you!!! I'm glad you like them so much <333 If you have any more questions, don't be nervous to ask I love getting them.
I hope you have a nice day/night/afternoon/evening/whatever time of day it is with you <333
