One of the most frustrating things about the Irreverent trailer is that it feels like Christian propaganda. Like IT FEELS LIKE A HALMARK MOVIE level of 'feel good' junk food. Where a big time criminal finds himself and god and learns to love his fellow man in a small beach town. It is not. OH BOY IS IT NOT.
#irreverent on peacock#irreverent tv#Paulo Keegan#I have so much to say about this show#there were parts I didn't like and were only there for the plot#then there were parts I predicted#but not in a bad way#in a “Sicko: YES YES” sort of way#I saw the dog thing coming from a mile away but I was laughing so hard I could barely believe they were doing it

the lovers, reversed
(aka I'm still freaking out about Jou)
#art#ride kamens#i am about to go off on wild speculation so excuse me in advance#I HAVEN'T PLAYED THE EVENT YET so this could all be just absolutely nothing but i gotta get it out#(still debating if i wanna save the event for after i finish part 2 or not...)#this is my last chance to throw wacky theories out there okay#i've just. been thinking a lot about the riders the characters are based on and how they relate to their different classes#like the choices seemed SO random when they were first revealed but they do mostly make sense when you think about it#to the point where i actually do feel like i should've been able to call ooo for ambition. damnit.#however i did always feel like jou was a bit of an outlier and now i'm wondering if that's gonna be like...a thing#idk man just the fact that he's gonna have a special double card and bond henshin with taiten is nuts to me#especially since we're clearly on the verge of SOMETHING happening with soun and uryuu#what does it mean. WHAT DOES IT MEAN#what does this mean for the future of tower emblem#and it hasn't escaped me that there is no class associated with evolution (YET)#and thinking about who jou is based on i'm just like#(waves hands) YOU KNOW?!#(plus i'm still like WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR RUI AND HAYATE but that's a separate thing)#i'm gonna try and take my time and not rush through part 2 but i also am SO impatient#i gotta knooooow#given the way my predictions tend to go though i'm either 100% accidentally right about the dumbest thing#or jou is fine but leon fucking dies or something and i'm gonna throw my phone into a lake#HAVE FUN GUYS I GUESS

Writing Apollo-as-a-young-deity is fun because sometimes it involves completely making shit up based on the loose outline of a story told through old poems, prayers and plays and other times it involves researching the totally legit and well documented ancient art of studying sheep livers to make sure your statesmen don't accidentally piss off Jupiter.
In completely unrelated news, if anyone has any recommendations for books about bird augury, that'd be wonderful.
#ginger rambles#ginger chats about greek myths#apollo#part of why the next part of manent is taking so long is because traditional greek divination is an incredibly involved process#with many sub-arts and studies that all have their own variations developments and places in terms of usage and context#Apollo's sons especially the ones who were skilled seers often had their specific specialty of divination stated/which divination skills#Papapollo passed on to them#Idmon was great with entrail divination apparently#and Iamus was taught bird augury - specifically how to listen to their calls and predict the future from their flight patterns#Calchas the diviner in the Iliad? He was also a bird diviner#Really interesting stuff that's severely underutilised when it comes to portraying stories dealing with prophecy and Apollo#They were skills to be mastered y'all not magic#Anyway save me George Sarton wah wah wah#I absolutely should be sleeping LMFAO

What I loved about Cinderella's Castle is it is so entirely about Ella. We know starkid can handle a show with tons and tons of characters but I found it quite refreshing for it to be so wholly her story? I think it was a lovely choice for this show and man Bryce did such a perfect job of it, she is truly such a star
#starkid#cinderella's castle spoilers#cinderella's castle#cc#cc spoilers#I think I want to rewatch it a couple of times to actually ascertain how I rank it with other starkid shows but. yeah what a great show#they used that money well too every aspect was STUNNING#and I could go on and on about the choreography maybe the best from any starkid show it looked so fucking good#anyway. justice for my girls Justine and Lucy I miss you#OH more things I loved! no romance! starkid write fantastic romances which I love dearly but again it was so nice#to just see Ella discover herself and her power. and yes I know her and Tadius are heavily implied but! I love that it was allowed to#just be the very beginnings of whatever they might become!!!#I will say that I predicted the Justine and Lucy thing which is heartbreaking I miss them#but anyway I loved it as a version of Cinderella and I loved it as a musical and MAN the music FUCKING SLAPPED#I made like 7 pages of notes because I regret that I don't remember my immediate reactions to bf and npmd#they are insane and most of them are just 'oh my god' and 'he's just a little boy' whenever crumb was on#ALSO WHO THR FUCK WAS THAT MASTER DWARF CAN WE GET MORE DETAILS ON THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHI IS HE AND HIS WOODBLOCK#OK ALSO ALSO oh my god there are too many thoughts in my brain. also. so it's basically confirmed they want to be Beauty and the beast and#snow white now right?#were there any other fairytale references?#ok fuck it finally last thing verrrry intrigued by how much the audience were clearly part of the story

We've reached it. The point where games I buy are more likely to crash my computer than to run on it. I've been putting it off for a couple of years but it's finally time. I'm going to need to build a new computer.
Unfortunately I know nothing about computers so this will be a fucking disaster.
#if I could predict the crypto craze i would've done this years ago#when the parts were more affordable

Feeling very optimistic about the final chapter because I am dying for Izuku to finally be able to unpack his feelings about everything he's experienced on his hero journey, and with regards to Katsuki (and All Might, respectfully everybody else get back). We've only gotten very small bits of introspection on his end, and with one chapter left, I hope that it's all given the space it deserves. Shipping aside, bkdk's relationship is core to the series and it would be extremely confusing for hori not to give them some semblance of proper closure or signal as to what their bond is going to evolve into after the events of the story.
(But on the other hand, slightly worried about the pacing based on the last few epilogue chapters...just pictured me sitting, reading, waiting for a bkdk handhold and the here comes cementoss and company for multiple pages 😭)
#bkdk canon...?#hori: my one thing was#i went into the shonen jump building and sat down with the president and said i want to make history...and that's what this is#predictions bkg finally gets his card signed#all might + izuku heart to heart or a bakugo-izuku-am heart to heart#izuku and katsuki heart to heart + handhold or at the very least flashback to the handhold from the river#i know katsuki hasn't gotten a lick of sleep...#“my last thoughts before I died were of izuku” / “what are we” / “what if izuku loses OFA and we stop getting to be so intertwined”#“is that nerd actually okay” like I know he's tossing and turning KATSUKI GET BEHIND ME#bnha manga spoilers#mha spoilers#my hero academia spoilers#mha 429#bnha 429#bakudeku#bkdk#dkbk#bnha spoilers#my hero academia manga spoilers#mha manga spoilers#honestly regardless how the story ends#this fandom is a delight to be a part of#the fanart and fanfics are amazing#and it's been a blast and no matter how it all ends#hori you went and changed the game you'll always be famous i'll always adore this story of yours#mmhp

When the interviewer asked when we should expect s5 to be coming out, that’s when Shawn mentioned that a little bit of an answer to that might be out there soon.
He actually mentions that this answer could be out by the time the video for this interview comes out, and since this interview was filmed mid-May and it’s now mid-June, I’m assuming we could be getting something soon or within the next couple months, potentially about a release date aka possibly a small teaser with 2025 stamped at the end…
#byler#stranger things#st5 predictions#idk I’m just praying for a vague quick 15 second teaser with 2025 at the end#idc if it’s late 2025 which is most likely#and so they’re just pulling this out of there ass to put something out there#but they have decent amount of footage already they should be able to pull from#even if that’s not what they want to do rn#they could release something vague that doesn’t even involve actors being in it and just maybe a build up of s5 vibes with 2025 at the end#I do feel like it has to be release date related even if it’s small af tho#bc we’ve gotten bts nonstop so just a mere screencap of s5 won’t be enough#it’s also worth considering that they might release s5 in very far away volumes like they did with cobra kai#not saying I want that but it’s possible#that could mean an earlier release date for those first episodes#i don’t think late 2024 is possibly honestly#but I know Maya mentioned in an interview they were like 1/3 of the way through filming s5#and this was about a month ago#so it’s possible a split could result in a serious waiting period between seasons#idk if Netflix is even willing to do that for st though#but I’m not ruling it out!#especially in the finale or even the second to last end up being longer l#we could be looking at a series finale on its own potentially taking up that vol 3 spot#but i still think late 2025 is likely for the ending regardless of how much earlier the initial part could come#also thinking about how they prefer to release the show during the season the show is set#if they can do that I feel like they will

this moment so fucked up💀
#horror spn moments and its dean torturing sam psychologically in 4 different ways under a min he could've just asked if sam lied#the pacing the lightful to knife lethal seriousness the yelling dean so psychopath 💔#this messes with my head bruh i hated how i couldn't actually predict how he'd lash out on sam#chat I think its time to kill dean#its fucked up that sam spends this arc trying to SAVE dean and the narration and dean treat him like he's melting the earth's crust#and must be crucified#meanwhile when dean decides he might have to KILL sam it's painted as a heroic sacrifice for the greater good#sam doomed if he tries to save but is manipulated and doomed if he tries to also save and well-intentioned#and his punishment for both times Is just death#why are we lowering the guillotine on the guy for trying to save his brother???? he was literally distressed and hiding about it#like he's smuggling a nuclear bomb with full determination to destroy the planet#yea there was grave consequences later but dean's gripe was him going against his wish to be doomed with the mark#you can talk respecting wishes if dean wasn't spending the whole last season flagrantly ignoring sam's wishes half the time#and the other half he spends it DEVASTATED when sam says he'll respect his wishes if he were in his shoes. the whole theme of s9 finale#was dean WANTING to be saved by sam and asking for that morally grey treatment back#If he's gon change his mind one minute and the other then he could have just not practically begged for what sam was doing here#dean's emotional fluctuations arent sam's responsibility#this sounds deancrit but no I'm just speaking from a pov everyone collectively decided to ignore part of its nuance#sam winchester#dean winchester#samdean#spn meta in tags#mine#the editing is supposed to make it haha but the scene is still not hahaing sm..

Prison Tattoos
“Rule number one for surviving prison: the tougher you look, the easier your ability to choose the person you want to be while you’re inside. Be labeled or perceived as a punk, a bitch, or a weakling, and you will have your public perception on the inside chosen for you. So you can lift weights, learn to fight, practice snarling in a mirror — you can do all these things, but none of them will accomplish as much for you as getting a [good] tattoo.” — Chris Dankovich in The Tales of a Former Prison Tattoo Artist
An alternative idea to my first, more pessimistic Season 3 Prediction, in which they find him looking a little more like this ^
For the tattoo designs I did a lot of research and I chose them carefully. The snake tattoo I chose because it is: A. Not affiliated with any particular real-world gang, B. Common among white prisoners (many prison tattoos are racially specific), and C. Notably, not a nazi thing (I did check). Snake tattoos can sometimes symbolize change or rebirth because of the way they shed their skin, but there doesn’t seem to be any one, universal meaning for them. For Blyke here, I thought it would serve as a message to other inmates: “Don’t touch me, I’m venomous.”
The rose with a dagger through it can mean many things in the free world, but in prison it means someone was locked up before they reached adulthood. I don’t know if people typically get this as kids or if they get them when they grow up (probably the latter), but I imagine that Blyke gets it because: “I was a kid when they locked me up. But now... I’m a man. Grr, hng, and other macho man noises.”
More versions of the drawing below the cut
Latest chapter as of Prediction: Side Story — Triple Threat (2)
#unordinary#blyke unordinary#prediction#drawing in my diary again#I’m so pumped for Blyke prison arc yall#I fell into the rabbit hole and did so much research on prison life you guys#on an unrelated note#I now know how to make a self heating pot using hygiene products and scrap metal#I mean id have to go back and check but still#also if me linking the article somehow leads to Chris Dankovich somehow finding out I used his lived experience#as inspiration for a fanart ...#that would be mildly embarrassing#The rose and dagger tattoo i got from a different article tho#I can’t wait to see how prison affects Blyke’s character development#i definitely think he’s gonna go all “tough guy” iykwim#Part of me wants the prison arc to be long and drawn out but part of me knows that means Blyke not being involved with a lot of the plot#Accidentally made blyke look like a final boss for a bit when i turned on a bunch of shading layers#Oh! And the lined paper prison bars were on purpose this time

Oh no I started watching High Potential and watched all 7 episodes in one evening. It's now 2:30am on a work night 😭😭😭
worth it but jesus
#high potential#the character writing is crisp and Judy Reyes is in it and cute as a button as ever#also they have me aggressively rooting for the lead to be in TWO heterosexual relationships. genius writing there#I also like that the show is formulaic enough to be predictable about whodunit while also having surprises in how or why#also also I like the underlying assumptions and norms that informed how they included lesbianism in that one plot#like “*she* said they were besties so they were besties except now no it makes more sense if she was lying and they were in lesbians”#no dawdling around the point because gay is so unlikely or rude to assume or too scandalous to consider#its just a world where gay and bisexual people exist and thats a normal part of life

Love doomed Team Soulfire.
Because they all love so very deeply don't they? They love their children, they love their friends, they love their homes, they love the little peace they have found in the Island.
They love so deeply that they just want to go home.
But love can be a curse.
Love can lead to nothing but pain and disaster when that love blinds you.
The Entity says that their children's lives are at stake, that they must win if they ever want to see them again, that there is a cursed team and they cannot lose, that their lose is death to their children. And Team Blue cannot risk it, they cannot allow themselves to let their children be put at risk in case they are the cursed them.
For love, they would do anything.
And that was exactly what they did. When other's are getting their resources, when they are thinking about what to do, how to proceed, Team Soulfire already knew, they knew they would do anything for their children, they would kill and they would die.
Surely everyone else was on the same page wasn't them? Their deaths meant nothing as long as their children could be saved.
Love blinded Team Soulfire.
Love blinded them to the pain they inflicted on others. Made them unable to realize exactly what they are doing the moment they spilled first blood, because that? That was the moment Purgatory began.
Not when they landed on the desolate Island, not when they were separeted on teams, not when their children's lives were considered a prize in a twisted game.
That first death? That started Purgaroty. Because what Team Blue didn't realize was that not everyone else was blinded by love as much as they were, that for others killing wasn't their first goal, that for a brief moment people thought they could fight against the system, that they could try in other ways.
But after that? Oh no, there was no turning back from that.
They didn't realize that when you kill someone over and over and over and over again, without mercy, without pause, without thinking about the sort of pain you are inflicting on them, it doesn't matter why you are doing it. They wouldn't look at you and see a friend, they wouldn't see a person who just wants to go home, who just wants to end this hell.
They will see a murderer.
They will see someone who sees their suffering as a means of gaining points, they will see someone who doesn't care about anyone else.
They will only see betrayal.
They will only see a enemy.
You cannot burn your bridges and expect to find a way home. You cannot stab the people around you, even if you do it for love, even if you believe yourself to be doing it for good reasons, and expect them to open your arms to you when you need it.
Team Soulfire loves. They love so deeply, so intensely, so very much.
And their love doomed them to be hated. To be viewed as the ones willing to do anything, to kill and betray and destroy anything the others have. Their love blinded them to the suffering they inflicted upon the others.
And the most painful thing?
Team Soulfire does not realize others are not playing the game as they are. That when they try to even the scoreboard, when they try to make things "fair" they are just feeding an uncontrollable fire, they are just scattering the ashes even further, they are hugging the broken pieces of what once was and they don't realize that the blood coating their hands.
Oh my darlings, how they put so much faith in a verbal agreement about the safety of the egg statues. How they love the children so much that they could not imagine that others wouldn't see those stones the same way they did, that they wouldn't be petrified that there was the slight chance that hurting the statue could hurt their children, how they believed that people would feel the same, would respect it as much as they did.
But of course they didn't. Because Team Bolas Rojas has been stabbed in the back from all the sides multiple times, they could not phantom the idea of trusting the people who have hunted them for sport, who have killed them for points in their own home, who have done nothing but hurt and betray them, they don't look at Team Soulfire and see friends just trying to go home, trying to protect their loved ones, they just see the people who hurt them multiple times.
And Team Green Ninjas agreed to not kill the statues, they truly had never any intention of finishing the job, but at no point their ever promised they wouldn't try to win, because at the end of the day they too worry so fucking much they couldn't imagine the possibility of not trying to win to save their children.
So that leaves Team Soulfire isolated, burned by love, forever to be distrusted and hated and avoided because of the actions they took in day one, because they believed that anything done in Purgatory was done for love and would be forgiven because they all have the same goal, they all want the same thing, because they believed people would understand their motivations.
And they did! They do!
It just doesn't matter.
Because the hurt they caused is too deep to be soothed by that.
For love, they have caused what seems like irreparable amounts of pain.
For love, they doomed themselves to be the villains in the eyes of everyone they know.
#listen im not going to point fingers in the main post but like#im a firm believer that bbh is the reason team blue is fucked#like sorry if you have mister 'i will kill everyone for the sake of the eggs and be cruel about it i don't give a fuck' on your team#ofc people are going to want to deck your ass when they see you#because he is part of your team so the logical thinking is that you agree with him when he is just hurting you and your friends#and aint nobody just going to accept that#mf burned his bridges and his team's bridges all in one that is a special talent if i say so myself#i think i will do team green in a different post hang on#qsmp purgatory#qsmp analysis#team soulfire#qsmp#what hits me the most about team soulfire is that watching them is like seeing traumatized people trying their best#but for others povs? they are just a bunch of motherfuckers and i would deck them in the face without hesitation#because they don't mean to but they were so very cruel on the first day#and now no one is willing to offer them a hand when they need the most#doomed themselves trying to do the right thing#i hope things get worse for them#disproportional consequences and all that shit#you started something you could never predict and now it's destroying you and everything you ever loved vibes

Heard about TK wanting to write WW for 100 issues and do a Trinity spinoff?
Yeah.... that's the word on the street 😔
To be honest with everybody though, I don't think he's hitting 100 issues. I think Tom King THINKS he will be writing 100 issues of WW comics, but I'm very skeptical. Like it's true he got pretty close to 100 issues when he was writing Batman, but that was during Rebirth, when comics were being published twice a month. At a normal monthly pace, 100 main title issues works out to be a bit over EIGHT YEARS. Even with specials and annuals and possible events (or the Trinity spinoff) compressing that timeline, there's still no way in my mind that Tom hits 100 issues in any less than five years. He spent three on Batman. You know, Batman, his #1, the guy he has to bring up every issue? Do we really think he's going to spend over twice as long on Diana?
Like personally I'm just not convinced that Tom King cares enough about Wonder Woman to write her for that long. Like I think he likes her, and I think he thinks she's cool, but reading his book he seems to love to put the focus anywhere except on Diana. Like all the narration is done by the villain (meaning we don't get Diana's actual thoughts on any of this) and the backup are all TK's audition to write supersons (so we're losing page space that could be utilized to develop the current narrative in favor of possible future stories with no plot relevance)
Like idk. Tom King is talking the talk and I think he has the power at DC currently to walk the walk if he really wants to do it and his hype squad keeps sales high, but he hasn't convinced me so far with his work that he has it in him to see out so many issues of Wonder Woman, especially when Diana finally defeats the Sovereign, and if Trinity gets her own book, like what is he going to do with his remaining 80 issues? Actually telling WW stories?
It seems to me from what I've read of his WW and interviews abt it is that this "100 issues of Wonder Woman" thing is coming from his opinion that Diana deserves a 100-issue run, rather any great, passionate love for Diana that would actually motivate him to write her for that long.
So anyways, my stance is that if he's really putting in a long one (however long it may be) we just hope for the best, (Diana getting her narration boxes back and being central in her own story again, Trinity getting booted back to Themyscira to be forgotten raised offscreen, etc.) and try to make the most & wait it out
#idk i could talk more abt this but ive already talked a lot so idk#think tom king is really wanting to be pérez here (p sure i read him saying as much in an interview) but instead i predict it ending up as#more of a WML type run (just with much better art)#idk idk. worried that were going to have the Sovereign stuff take forever and ever which is super annoying to me. i literally hate him so#much. not even in a fun way like i want diana to beat the shit out of him and get him out of my comics books permanently like yesterday#also worried that hes going to try and have baby trinity be a part of the narrative. as in a diana raising her type way. like if baby#trinity gets kidnapped and she has to get her back like ok fine but think theres a possibility king hits a wall when it comes to like diana#actually being her mother. bc like diana is one of if not the busiest superhero in the dcu shes got major shit to do and no partner or#stability to actually take care of a baby while still being wonder woman. plus she has an entire island nation that would (and has!) take#that child in in an instant. so like pls go with that and not try and juggle plates and do the former#esp bc having trinity be raised on the island basically cancels out the diana's kid stuff. like not bio related not being raised like thats#just a relative homie#idk#anyways calling it now hes falling short of the hundo. hope im not proven wrong here#or that maybe one day tk wakes up with a miraculous ability to write great wonder woman stories. id be cool with that too. we take good news#here too folks#blah

Another theme poll, another year where Pirates vs Cowboys disappeared from the themes and hasn't returned. Poll is sorta decent with half of them, but the other half are just way too similar to previous years/the themes are just different words to describe the same thing.
A+ on the fact Takaia isn't being paid and will be removed from the team once the backend transfer is complete, that actually has given me some faith back in the team, albeit shaky.
.
#submission#art fight#artfight#artfight2023#I predict things will be okay for the first year or so#But eventually they'll fall behind again as they always have#Takaia may be out of the picture but this is still the same admins that were part of the original problem

Since I finished Scavengers Reign I should continue my adult animation binge and watch Blue Eyed Samurai next
#watched damsel last night and while the plot was fairly predictable#I thought the survival horror elements were really good and the most interesting part#(huge surprise coming from a fan of sci fi cave survival horror)#also the burning birds scene was inspired

My personal thing is Roadrat could happen.
Its gonna take a long ass time, Junkrat would have to mature a bit.
Boombox seems more likely imo.
I hc roadhog as having a wife/husband that he keeps distant from his crime work. Like reaper or ana does
I'm not sure if you're referring specifically to canon-potential, and I do like boombox, but personally I disagree about boombox being more likely as a canon option! I don't think Junkrat or Lúcio's plots ever really come into contact, so I can't really see how they would make a romantic plot for them happen canonically. In my genuine opinion I don't think the OW dev team would ever pair Junkrat up with anyone romantically because they just love hating on him too much lmao..........
Re: Junkrat's maturity, I don't think I really agree with the idea that he would need to "mature" to be in a relationship either. 🤔 I think people kind of interpret Junkrat's recklessness and sponaneity for being immature or childish. He is an adult and from my perspective he's shown to think of himself as an adult too, he just chooses to be reckless and stupid because that's what he feels like doing. I don't think he's necessarily going to change that part of himself just by getting older. Idk that's just what I think. 😗(I also am a person in my late 20s who is occasionally interested in older people so I am biased to not think of the roadrat age gap as weird or off-putting)
And that's a nice headcanon! I can see that for him.
#sorry if it seems like I'm putting you on blast! honestly you can have whatever headcanons you want I really don't mind#The phrasing for the first part just made it sound like you were open for discussion lol but anyway!! no need to agree with me#replies#if i had to say the ow dev team would ever make any junkrat pairing canon; based on in-game content/etc i would probably say. ratqueen...?#and after ratqueen i'd say roadrat but idk they seem adamant abt roadhog not liking junkrat in ow2 so even that's unlikely.#anyway i don't even really care for ratqueen personally but that's my prediction for if a junkrat pairing would ever be canon fsr
