Oh, by the way, Aldis Hodge is married and has a little girl. And that wife is puny because apparently "these women are ovaryacting" (if you're wondering where I got that last tidbit, his Sherri Sheppard's interview). He had a fiancee (his current wife) way before he started training for Hawkman, and one year after he started the 9bcollective (my interest in Aldis being about more of his others ventures, that is A. Hodge Ateliers, Hodge Productions, 9bcollective)

No capes/actors AU came to me via a dream and I have since been obsessing over it,,
I have so many ideas over it but my fav is currently that the Jasons are brothers because of the quick switch between seasons/robins and how they couldn’t use the same actor for older Jason so they just asked his older brother to be Red Hood Jason, Little Jason is way younger because they were trying to emphasize how small street kid Jason was
Part 1
#Behind the capes AU#dcu#batman#actors au#jason todd#bruce wayne#dc robin#red hood#there’s so many thoughts for this series#this one goes out for the Jason and Damian sibling truthers bc they’re bio siblings here#Big Jason was genuinely minding his business while his family acted only for the director to ambush him and ask if he’d like to act too#he thought maybe a small role but then boom baby Jason is dead#baby Jason loves his role in season 3 as a ghost/hallucination#big Jason is contemplating life until he gets to yell at his dad in front of cameras for fun#he loves it

the strength it must have taken for illario to not immediately go full 'lmao since when have you even had a kiss hello lucanis' sibling violence mode during the café talk. inspirational. rook and lucanis really were doing all that right in front of his salad huh
#lucanis is being SO cringe with that line right out there in public and I would die for him. it's just such a weird thing to say#tbf if anyone in the world is used to the insane things lucanis says and would go 'yes yes lucanis waxing poetic about coffee#in ways normal people reserve for trying to get in someone's pants (the roast won't fuck you lucanis)#we've all heard it' like it's all normal I suppose it would be illario. and also he's too busy with the 'shit fuck shit he's not dead#he's not dead of the family members 'supposed' to be dead we're at two definite failures out of two and woe me if the twain should meet#if that IS a demon in there it sure talks exactly in the same bizarre way only my cousin does#does that mean anything what the fuck do I do who do I kill about this' internal monologue I guess#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#illario dellamorte#lucanis dellamorte#rook x lucanis#rookanis#I mean he does very much say that to a non-romancing rook too which only makes it all the more delightfully odd#is it a very lucaniscore way of testing the waters. is it just how he always talks about coffee. many plausible approaches here#no one forced him to bring up kisses and 'you should try it' out of the blue like that is all I'm saying. he could have acted normal#(theoretically)#i feel there are reasons to read some stuff into it lol#lucanis when rye says he prefers tea: it's so over cautious overture I don't quite understand myself yet gently rebuffed#lucanis when rye takes him up on the 'so what should a first kiss be' theme: oh we're so back!!!! wait. what. what do I do now#what is this#it's kind of really sweet that rook answers with their own playfully florid beverage based barely hidden metaphor at the end too#matching freaks and having fun with it#as far as lucanis is concerned rye's only true flaws are 1) prefers tea to coffee (oh well. no one can be perfect. cross-cultural love#can conquer all even in this) and 2) weird taste in interior design (did we really HAVE to bring your 15 foot tall corpse statues#with us home rook. I can understand a tasteful skull here and there but this seems excessive. well if it makes you happy I guess)

fleshing out my Relativity Au some more, i fujking love these guys, they're so-
part 1/ part 2
#v's art#gravity falls#relativity falls#dipper pines#older dipper pines#mabel pines#older mabel pines#gravity falls fanart#they're in their upper 40's#we'll say they have an older sibling who gave birth to the stan's mother#bc twin genetics are passed down through the women :)#source: my family + my twin uncles on my mom's side of the family#dipper wasn't necessarily acting on as much hubris as ford#more genuine curiosity#and his reaction to getting reality shifted was “damn that's crazy”#“let me go get an adult to handle this”#cue the montage of him studying interdimensional law bc he has to represent himself in space/time court#smashcut with a montage of mabel commiting every conceivable OSHA violation possible while setting up the shack#she leans into the medium side of the business#copying what Caryn did on the phone when they were younger#but falls in love with the theatrics of it all#its not really a secret that its all fake#but her enthusiasm really sells it#its a different vibe from the stan twins bc dipper is just clever not genius level (and mabel is also smart just differently)#they're not competing as much bc gender difference (its more jealousy)((they swap later))#and theyre both fundamentally devious little shits who love a good scheme#so when dip gets home and he sees his sister for the first time running a scam wearing his name he goes “bet” and steals her's right back#there's no “leave these kids alone” its “oh thank goodness tag you're it bitch”#they fall back into step like they never left each other

Just because these people are in jail, doesn't mean they deserve to die. If we don't stop this thing, people are going to continue to die. We do this job wherever it takes us.

It's soooo crazy how when Thornton proposes and Margaret shoots him down like a dog in the street, she thinks to herself "I never liked him. I always acted totally indifferent to him. I never thought about myself and him." But then after they have no interaction with each other for a while after that, she thinks "I miss our antagonistic friendship :/" and then, after that, when she knows that he knows that she committed the unforgivable and shameful sin of Lying to a Police Officer she deadass thinks to herself "It seems so hard to lose him as a friend just when I had begun to feel his value." Like GIRL! The revisionism!!! The self deception! Is the friendship you had with Mr. Thornton in the room with us now?
#north and south#deeeeeeply obsessed rn with Margaret's lack of understanding of her own emotions#especially when she thinks that she totally knows how she thinks and feels and thinks that it's consistent.....#still formulating my opinion but I think she was actually deeply attracted to him and lowkey obsessed with him from the get-go#but that premise was to uncomfortable to consider for more than a pico second so she shoved it deep deep down#and proceeds to act chaotically and inconsistently towards him while thinking she's being very right and rational and consistent#tbf she's very busy trying to hold her family together through tragedy after tragedy using only elmer's glue and prayer...#no time for romantic revelations en esta economia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#Margaret Hale the woman that you are............#txt

Wille: but the monarchy is a privilege.
Simon: as your boyfriend and also someone who has eyes, is it?
#if i had the ear of the crown prince i would straight up be like make your first act as King be to tell everyone's the monarchy over#real life though i could never deal with being royalty adjacent don't know how simon has dealt with this for any length of time#i couldn't even handle an SO with a family business that has a double digit number of employees... the class difference would be too much#young royals

"Prince to you, not a brother."
#i'm going insaneeeee#cesare at first corrected alfonso when he called him 'brother' by clapping back with 'brother-in-law'#but when alfonso revealed that he's aware that cesare killed his //real// brother juan... he suddenly went all 'brother!!' at alfonso lol#the deliberate use of brother to manipulate him hoping to dissuade him from exposing the truth about juan's death. the strategy though!!#it's so funny help the borgia is truly a sitcom#that being said. i never liked how they juxtaposed juan with alfonso because alfonso lacked juan's charm wit and charisma#at least juan and cesare had great chemisty and dynamic thanks to david and francois!#like if anything...they both loved lucrezia in different ways and met their ends at the hands of cesare#alfonso loved lucrezia purely innocently and genuinely cared for her but he was too weak to be involved in the family's business#juan loved lu in his own twisted ways as he deeply loved her yet acted out of jealousy and pettiness she ended up hating him#juan borgia#cesare borgia#alfonso of aragon#the borgias#theborgiasedit#perioddramaedit#francois arnaud#periodedits#tvedit#by jen

Scroll down a bit...
Someone who works on CNN's front page did a thing, I bet.
(A little while ago these two headlines were close enough together to get them in the same screenshot, but the second one was moved down before I got around to actually taking the screenshot.)
#us politics#us healthcare#gun violence#gee what could the motive have possibly been#such a mystery#the guy's wife apparently said he'd been getting death threats lately#“something about a lack of coverage”#I mean yeah *technically* violence isn't the answer#but it sure would be nice if some other insurance execs would look at the reaction this shooting has gotten and do a moral inventory#you know ask the question “is there anything about the way I conduct business that would lead strangers to celebrate my death?”#and act accordingly#I mean I'm sure the guy's family are grieving and that's unfortunate#and if anyone is @ing the widow or otherwise shoving their schadenfreude in the faces of the grieving then that would cross a line#but these people have been systematically blocking the development of single-payer or even a public *option* for decades now#and *countless* people have died because of that too

help friends in need your brains. i’m writing a band au and ive got nico, jason, percy and thalia in a band together but i can’t decide on a band name. my two ideas so far are “sons of prophecy” or “the family business” but im not sure if i’m satisfied with those. any opinions or ideas would b appreciated <3 <3
#if i go with the family business i can work it into the backstory of the band#jason was always expected to take over his dads business and was very much forced to act and look a certain way growing up#so them naming the band the family business is jason’s fuck you to his dad like#yeah i’m carrying on with the family business#but anyways#lemme know if yall got opinions#the other band in this au is wills bc it’s a solangelo fic obvs#and his band is called young suns#which i am very happy with#pjo#nico di angelo#jason grace#thalia grace#percy jackson

Just looked on the older books for refs of Thea and
Boi Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is insane
It literally starts with G heading to work on time at 9, but William comes in like "BOI YOU'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON THE GAZETTE YOU HAVE TO CUT DOWN THE BUDGET" (Imagine this screamed directly into Geronimo's ear)
Obviously William's definition of "cut down the budget" is this
TW: Spoilers for Curse of the Cheese Pyramid, William behavior, do not click on if you don't want a spike in blood pressure
If you choose to turn away now, the following fume was just an intermission for finding this picture lmao
He pawned over everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) in Geronimo's office, from his desk to his armchair to his carpet to his book collection to his art collection, and replaced it all with a single plastic chair and desk ("All you need in an office is a desk and chair!")
He fired ALL THE STAFF and decided that only family members will be working for the paper (because family members don't need to be paid as much probably (if at all) when working for a family business-- they all share their finances with each other, anyway maybe (it's not clear what their salaries are gonna be (wanna bet G is paid minimum wage while Thea is paid 50% of the Gazette's monthly expenses after this clean sweep))). The only person spared from the firing spree was Shif T. Paws, the Gazette's sales manager, who apparently offered to work there for free.
He delegates all the work of the Gazette to four people-- G does all the office work (taking calls, building maintenance, writing, editing, printing, clientele stuff), Thea does all the interviews and field work stuff, Trap does all the cooking, and Benjamin is "William's personal assistant". Lord knows what that last position means for little Benji. (Okay reading ahead Benjamin seems fine, but he does say that William is "a bit pushy".)
He sends G out on a work holiday thing and he overworks the crap out of everyone, to the point where even Thea is sick of William's senile old-fashioned ass, and it seems that the Gazette was also going downhill because of this mouse furry ripoff Daniel Dancer. (To give a preview of what he did in the working perspective, he basically had Trap work seven days a week)
He was planning to have staff give use old newspaper instead of toilet paper (T&B expenses), make a 30-second time mechanism for the restrooms (to maximize manpower efficiency and possible humiliation for anyone going number 2), and was considering cutting all electricity to the building and just have staff work on typewriters "just like the old days".
This man's senile ass--
#geronimo stilton#rant#give up the toilet paper and use old newspapers instead#where are they in the filipino provinces lmao#william would fit right into an episode of extreme cheapskates#absolute nutjob#how is he not actually senile yet#imagine going so daniel dancer that even your favorite niece who you openly spoil can't stand your guts#shif t paws is mvp#man's playing 4d chess here#and all for his boss who he seems to be on pretty good terms with#i asked my parents a bit about william's relationship with the gazette (retired but still making absolute decisions for the company)#and uh turns out one of the family businesses on my family's chinese side works a similar way apparently#my great-uncle is retired technically and his son is his successor#but my great-uncle is still making decisions for the company that his son has to comply with#i guess it's a cultural thing? doesn't mean i like the way it sounds#i heard my uncle's starting to act more independently tho i think so good for him if he's actually doing that

Soooo what are y’all’s hcs on the Tweak family 🤔🤔🤔
#lowkey I like to hc it as a generational trauma type of thing for Mr Tweak#I feel like Richard was a LOT like Tweek when he was little#very anxious and unsure of himself#he mentions in the gnomes episode I believe that his business has been going on 30 years#and was passed down to him by his father by his father before him#growing up I think that he too was given a lot of this coffee by his father#and over the years he was conditioned and manipulated into accepting this as the norm#in hopes that he would one day take over the business#when he was finally old enough his father shared the family recipe with him and at that point he had pretty much been brainwashed#I think he sees a lot of his younger self in tweek which is why he’s so condescending towards him and so determined to steer him down the#same path. Repeating the cycle and all that#and when Tweek is old enough he plans on sharing the family’s secret as his father did with him#MRS Tweak on the other hand is an interesting one#we know so little about her but I feel like her personality also says a lot about her#she’s definitely better than Mr Tweak but she’s still very complacent and neglectful#I think what stands out to me the most about her though is the way her personality can completely switch up at times#most of the time she has this eerily calm almost docile personality#but other times she’s a LOT more attentive and caring#yk like a normal mom#COMPLETELY different from how she usually acts#but the episode that gets me the most is “Gnomes#where she actively goes against Richard’s attempt to manipulate the kids and use them for business ventures#yet this is the same mom that actively poisons her son? presumably for the business??#like it doesn’t make sense to me#I’ve seen someone suggest that Richard has been drugging her too#and BOY would that be a twist#definitely would explain the sudden shift in personality#i definitely think it would be interesting if she was in the dark about a lot of this too#not using this as an excuse as I still do think she is SOMEWHAT negligent on her own but I do think it could explain some things#south park

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"
#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall#y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these#rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything#BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes#'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and#acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something#managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show#''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was#set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol#OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting#around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes''#''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often'#''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc.#ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye#BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by#putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones#when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or#magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!!#ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like#'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i#the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!!#it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action#fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on..#ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally#defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just#opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of#points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its#bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol#Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully#agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it

Ngl youtube videos suddenly got me slowly turning into a Justin Russo hater.
#like mainly later seasons him#early seasons him is fine#but like i guess plot wise you could argue he becomes more iffy because you know the competition will be soon#and justin does want to become the family wizard#as for some reason this show still never fully tackled the fucked up shit of the idea that wizard siblings have to grow up studying magic#only for one or two or whatever number siblings to lose it to one sibling in a competition#like stevie was the closest we got to that#but like it still dont make it less bad with how justin was#like the worst example i can name is him literally refusing to save alex whose his sister btw and shes always dropped shit to save him#because he wants to project onto her that she purposely fucked up his chances to get back into the competition via#pushing the students to take the test only for them to be failed because bad guy being bad guy in reality#and basically blames her for the failure and such as a result and acts like its all an act when she is mad on the students behalf and shit#and his students have to drag him kicking and screaming just to save her from the bad guy's shit#and there's also the competition itself where harper and zeke get grabbed by a creature during it#but alex has to convince her brothers to save the two and thats just cold already on justins end with zeke#but cause they took too long they all lose the competition and magic#and both brothers especially justin proceed to treat alex like shit even during work hours meaning#fucking over family business just to get at alex#and when the dad ultimately almost sells the place justin STILL blames alex#like she was the only one working fully max was being max and justin was being a little bitch to her#aka the infamous refusing to make her orders only max's and when he does he throws the sandwich at her#and cause she was holding drinks at the time and didnt see it coming the drinks went on a customer#and also throwing table trash into her already full bin shes carrying around while cleaning tables#and therefore messing it up for her like#and alex's logo...well from sounds of shit thats just justin again being a hateful bitch to his sister with zero consquiences#even one commenter pointing how he sadistically smiled while telling her all her friends hate her#like dear god if the show was doing this to make everyone root for alex its working i hate later season justin#gonna be interesting if hes matured or not as an adult
