with his campaign most likely never actually picking up felix exists only as a mental chew toy for me and as someone for mel to kiss

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.
#it wouldn’t have to change any of the actual plot of the season. except MAYBE amy’s choice but even then i think amy’s choice would be the#one episode where they should be adults. if only for the half where they live in a village in that dream.#because that’s the kind of future that children would dream up. they live in a little cottage and nothing ever goes wrong and their best#friend visits them all the time even though they’ve grown up.#they aren’t actually adults there just children with an idea of what they should be as adults and acting accordingly#and it would still end the same way.#but idk its just. rory’s 2000 years waiting for amy inside the pandorica is already tragic. yes.#now imagine its a kid. a kid in a little roman soldier helmet who will never grow up. who will not leave his best friend.#he loves her and she’s more important than the whole universe and that sort of love is supposed to MEAN something in a fairy tale!#its supposed to melt the ice out of hearts and transform people from stone.#and what that love means here. is that he will have to wait 2000 years. a child and a box.#little rory and the amelia who followed the doctor’s letters to the pandorica. and she doesn’t recognize him again.#and amelia in the pandorica… 2000 years a child trapped in a small box waiting to be rescued.#s5 is already fucked for them but it could be worse. it could be so much worse.#and it would make the doctor choosing to take her place in the pandorica to save the universe later even better.#because who else but the doctor would put the fate of the universe on the shoulders of two children and realize much too late what a#monstrous thing he’d done. and still have to hope. have to hope. that amelia would remember him fondly enough to bring him back to reality.#the logistics of all of this would have been a pain lmao. child labor laws in acting and all that.#BUT. hypothetically. it would have slapped.#doctor who#amy pond#rory williams#<- also this entire time ive been referring to him in my head as rory pond so much that i fuckin. forgot his actual last name.#and then like if you want them to be adults in s6 or whatever you can just timeskip to them getting married and still have amelia remember#the doctor there. it would work. it would.#amelia pond au

reading this at fucking 3AM the day it dropped was an EXPERIENCE i had to reread it again when i woke up properly later just to make sure I hadn’t fucking imagined it. Glacier’s Edge rewired my brain chemistry permanently
#spoilers#glacier's edge spoilers#I JUST LIKE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS#THIS FUCKING SLEDGEHAMMERED ME INTO A WALL#do you love me enough to die for me. do you love me enough to kill me if a fate worse than death happens to me.#like the thing about jarlaxle being a bad influence on illithids is funny but this entire bit just set my brain on fire

Okay, conspiracy theory time: if Blitzwing being an Autobot experiment was indeed the original backstory planned for him, it ended up being revised into Malware’s backstory
I mean, a specimen with unique abilities amongst their species associated with machinery created by supposed good guy scientist(s) who “came out wrong” in a sense and was driven mad by the mental strain of it, turned rogue as a result of being mistreated by their creators, became a homicidal maniac hellbent on revenge, AND the same guy worked as a character designer on their respective shows? It just makes too much sense.
I mean with how much canon that Derrick J. Wyatt had creative input on, it would certainly not be too farfetched for some older unexplored ideas to be actually put into practice haha. I do love me some morally grey (and like, genuinely grey regardless of how bright or dark the shade) allies and protagonists, even if it has to come at the cost of the mental and physical health of certain antagonists /hj-
Blitzwing may not have had that much focus as a 'character plagued by the narrative' to have explored the implied trauma beyond him serving as one of the main villains with a unique triple changer feature, Malware being rather explicitly that 'someone you should care about' mixed in with the whole 'irredeemable asshole' schtick was very much a little dicey yeet- he deserved a redemption arc if he was to be written as much of a victim of circumstance and ensuing abandonment as he was 😔
#ask#anonymous#blitzwing#tfa blitzwing#malware#malware ben 10#transformers#tfa#BETCs#bot experiment triple changers#maccadam#ben 10#i know in the most recent season 4 uh information that by technicality blitzwing gets perhaps a redemption arc#but i suppose it was less a redemption and more a 'fuck megatron for throwing us into a furnace/engine' whatever it was#more like an alliance against a shared enemy plus the other 'cons including the new predacons#...if i'm remembering right#for all the shit that blitzwing goes through- malware gets that shit canonically in the show#and he gets just a little bit of 'fate worse than death' if malgax is anything to go by woop...#sorry i just have a more silent watchful appreciation and sympathy for malware but that appreciation is getting a little louder

Due to circumstances irl me and my friends still won’t be able to finish new getter watch which fuck knows when it’ll be resume now and one of the factors wasn’t even because not everyone could come-like one person was sick but that was it-but because we had a bunch of irl shit happened and I’m just reminded the part of the show we landed on is super fucking angsty and doesn’t get any better and that has probably encapsulated so of my iffy feelings with new despite it being arguably the most best written ova- but I don’t know if I wanna get into a whole rant about it in a post because some people might think I’m reaching even though I’m safer here compared to twit so might keep vague thoughts in the tags below.
#meg text#new getter robo#I know there are shows that done it significantly worse and I’m a angsty mfer#but I sometimes wish end of new didn’t set up “our protag is going to have a mental health spiral mask it and then get sent to the void”#because I think about the fact ryoma literally got ptsd from seeing that fucked up future#and he didn’t tell anyone and then burdened himself with handling a issue that’s just gonna cause more trauma#I know it’s supposed to be up to interpretation if he’s a slave to fate or actually choosing his own path but#as someone who wonders if I’ll ever not have to struggle with mental health it’s kinda triggering#which I know wasn’t the intent and it could just be “it’s 2004 and didn’t age well” but it makes so miffed#cause despite arma where he sees whole ass hallucinations of Michiru at the very least that ends with clarity#and his manga fate is more fucked up but hey at least he got a period of his life away from the getter#but new…. God no wonder I cope about a sequel idea even though I know it won’t happen#it just deserves to end on a not super mentally ill note but maybe I’m just overthinking it

Empress Acina's "Intelligence should have retired you when they had the chance!" is still sticking with me after Iokath, and I think it does for many agents who would be grossly offended by such a cruel statement given what they went through which was equivalent to being retired, but Eight...Eight would let the mask slip for a second.
Oh Acina, he'd say, soft and deep with a smile bared like fangs, they already tried. Didn't you do your research?
#swtor#oc: orradiz#is in love with death but cannot let himself die#to die is to lose to live is to win#to live is to fight forever and haunt every battlefield#still having thoughts over the original Eight as well.#he experienced a fear so great at having someone he loved be marked for a fate worse than any death#that he became desensitized to all fears after#reasons why he is so enamored by jadus#can you imagine knowing you cannot let yourself die or the worst of your fears will come true#can you imagine forcing yourself to live because dying would be a fate worse than your own death#I don't often talk about Nosta bc she haunts him as much as he does Intelligence#but her fatal flaw was having a life to return to despite being a cipher#and eight saw this and realized he couldn't let her be retired#because someone who is loved who is not an unfeeling weapon like him deserves to live.#oh to start your career as a Cipher by killing everyone who was supposed to be on your side...#admin you are sooo edgy. well you see i am a horror buff and being an agent seems like a horror in itself

Tag drop: Solas
#solas. [ what would you have had me say? that i was the great adversary in your people's mythology? ]#solas: ic. [ the dread wolf inspired hope in my friends and fear in my enemies. not unlike “inquisitor” i suppose. ]#solas: inquiries. [ let me help you. / you cannot. there is no glory here. only a price that i alone will pay. ]#solas: countenance. [ i was solas first. “fen'harel” came later. an insult i took as as a badge of honor. ]#solas: introspection. [ war breeds fear. fear breeds a desire for simplicity. good and evil. right or wrong. chains of command. ]#solas: meta. [ just remember; an enemy can attack but only an ally can betray you. betrayal is always worse. ]#solas: little notes. [ but nature is and always has been; grey. a spirit is a purpose. a demon is that purpose perverted. ]#solas: wishes. [ i walk the din'anshiral. there is only death on this journey. i would not have you see what i become. ]#solas: etc. [ i have people; seeker. the greatest triumphs and tragedies this world has known can all be traced to people. ]#solas: mythal. [ they killed her. a crime for which an eternity of torment is the only fitting punishment. ]#solas: elvhenan. [ imagine beings who lived forever for whom magic was as natural as breathing. that is what was lost. ]#solas: fade. [ everything is a memory; they are easily muddied. they contain truths but reason and sense are required to extract it. ]#solas: skyhold. [ there is a place that waits for a force to hold it. there is a place where the inquisition can build… grow. ]#solas: inquisition. [ you created a powerful organization. and now it suffers the inevitable fate of such; betrayal and corruption. ]#solas: inquisitor. [ you would risk everything you have in the hope that the future is better? what if it isn't? ]#solas: vhenan. [ what is the old dalish curse? “may the dread wolf take you”? ]#solas: dorian. [ is that a problem for you? / no. no. you're a special and unique snowflake. live the dream. ]#solas: varric. [ you know what i like about you? your boundless optimism. / it's comforting that what qualities i lack; you invent. ]#solas: cassandra. [ i am impressed by your honesty and faith. it is a difficult path; but if anyone can walk it honourably. you can. ]#solas: cole. [ never forget your purpose; cole. it is a noble one. even if this world does not understand. ]#solas: vivienne. [ i leave you with the greatest curse of my people. dirthara ma. / what rustic curse is that? / 'may you learn.' ]#solas: blackwall. [ you have seen a great deal of battle. / we all have. / not like you. you live and breathe war. it's home to you. ]#solas: sera. [ i suppose now you’ll switch to how i’m the same but different? / you are the furthest from what you were meant to be. ]#solas: bull. [ what you think is what you say and do. / even peasants may find freedom in the safety of thought; you take even that. ]

2020: Jorge Lorenzo talks about Valentino Rossi's famous 2009 Catalunya last corner overtake.
#brr brr#//#wall tag#i say this every time it comes up but i still find it very funny jorge was talking *in the week before the race* about -#- how you basically had the race won as long as you were ahead heading into the final corners#like aren't you people supposed to be superstitious?? what is this? you should know NEVER to say something like that#better or worse than jorge getting mugged at a final corner that had been named after him the day before? tough one#i think the naming thing is like. more insulting. but the 'you have the race won' thing is more egregious in asking for trouble#jorge lorenzo and the indefatigable desire to tempt fate

Slightly scuffed and imperfect version of Lost in Thought played on the ocarina hell yeah !!! ... There are mistakes, but I'm still happy with how it came out
I want to re-record it with my other ocarinas to have a good comparison of the way they sound, but also potentially a good comparison piece for my own progress. Because I am hoping to get my triple plastic to sound better once I've tamed it >:))
#was supposed to learn Gerudo Valley#can't find a sheet I can actually read#somehow#<- dumbass sometimes but also google is just worse and worse I feel sigh and IDK where people put their music sheets okay#ocarina#fire emblem#fire emblem fates#music#my recordings

weird to think that if my vision in my left eye was as bad as it is in my right eye i would be almost completely blind. like im supposed to use my right eye more often to help with weakened eye muscles and alignment blah blah but i can't actually do anything without my left eye because i am literally unable to see. And its gotten significantly worse in the past few years so what am i supposed to do with this??
#crazy that i had to go outside using only my left eye before like I COULD HAVE DIED.#i couldnt see even a foot in front of me#im very close to just giving up on my right eye entirely and accepting my fate as a one-eyed supervillian#tbf glasses are supposed to help and yeah i could see better when i was wearing them (they dont do anything now bcuz vision got worse)#but they're still like. not an actual solution to the underlying problem#so my eyes will just get worse and worse LMAO#**right eye#txt

so we're all in agreement that if jimmy doesn't die first, we'll make art and fics of the bad boys finding out grian's a watcher and jimmy asking if he can remove his death curse and grian managing to do it
#bonus points if this happens while they're discussing what he is and isn't capable of.#extra bonus points if he says it wouldn't be easy because undoing the work of another watcher is easier said than done.#extra extra bonus points if the reason grian's able to break the curse is because he's one of the ones who initially cursed jimmy.#even more bonus points if upon admitting this he agrees to break the curse to make it up to him.#even MORE bonus points if he lets jimmy know that this might be risky#since he's messing with things tied to his fate and to his life itself and if it backfires he might accidentally kill him. or worse.#jimmy understands the risks and wants to do it anyways.#joel is instructed to not intervene no matter what so he stands there and tries to stay silent and calm#while grian is unblinking and chanting in incomprehensible tongues with way more eyes than anyone's supposed to have#when the curse breaks the canary wings on the sides of jimmy's head fall apart and vanish and he has normal ears now.#some time afterwards he comments that he hadn't even realized the feathers messed with his hearing until they were gone#which i suppose makes sense since he doesn't remember a time before his death curse.#...wait. what if this DID backfire.#causing grian to accidentally permakill jimmy. thereby fulfilling both their curses at once in an attempt at breaking one of them.#ok i can't tell which version of this i like more

Okay, we are not ignoring those tags because imagine that this isn't the last time Kali gets left behind?
Like it keeps happening because Vincent keeps calling him and Charlie back because Vincent keeps missing Charlie. So every time, Kali is left behind and maybe with no way to communicate to Butcher and Charlie. And yet, he keeps waiting for Butcher.
Imagining that even after their initial reunion, Butcher and Kali still can't be happy for long and spend time being husbands. And imagine that eventually, the periods between the leaving and coming back lengthens because Vincent (so sorry to make you a villain here, Vincent) keeps saying that Charlie should stay with him longer.
vincent would do that, dont worry. he looked at the apology and went "all good 👍" djdjsbssk
butcher would get so fed up with him though. after like the 5th time, he starts negotiating.
charlie can stay behind for a few months. he'll be safe there, with his father, and butcher can just pick him up from the airport whenever charlie comes back to the ranch.
... but. now their sons bedroom is eerily empty for weeks, or months on end. quieter than it was before. with sammy sleeping there now instead, missing his big brother too much
#response#the-whispers-of-death#anyways. arsonist sammy origins would 100% be charlies fault#adult!sammy got so desperate to see his brother again that he went on a wild goose chase trying to find him in italy#vincent wouldve turned him away if it wasnt for charlie running to hug him#... and then vincent says something along the lines of “i suppose we... do maybe need more fresh meat in the family.”#and. his fate was locked. and he gets sent out on worse and worse missions#that are increasingly dangerous. and he finds his knack for fire there. and how much he *adores* it
