#they just have their own plotline

I’ve been debating what the funniest, most fan-fury-inducing thing any hypothetical Silmarillion movie/show could do would be, and I think the answer is to condense the sons of Feanor. There are so many of them! And they aren’t particularly individualized! You could just… cut a few. Who needs seven whole kinslayers? You get get it down to three or four, easy.
#silmarillion#amrod and amras are SO cuttable and that gets you down to five#and i honestly think you could rearrange it down to just celegorm and curufin (they get to stay because they’re in the lay of leithian)#celegorm can also have the dubious honor of taking over maedhros’ ”captured by morgoth” plotline and idk aredhel can rescue him#then they go cause trouble in nargothrond#and commit three kinslayings without dying until they get the damn rocks back#at which point curufin slits his own throat and celegorm disappears forever into a forest#everybody would hate it so much and it would be so so funny

nightmare viewing the murder time three as little toys but more in like a little spoiled kid kinda way. because it would be funny and if you take into the account that he was like 6 before getting corrupted and do some mental loopholes it would be even funnier. like these are his dolls (killer dust and horror) and this is their barbie dreamhouse (his castle). they all have to stay in one room because nightmare needs to keep his toys in a toy box. the toys only ever come out when he wants to play but oh damn it they keep on breaking out!! silly toys,,, and then he locks them into the room again.
nightmare serves them food with plastic tea cups and plastic plates and there is no food. there is no tea. they have to imagine the food because dolls can't literally eat. there are food containers and stuff in the house but its all just a bunch of empty boxes. horror starts tweaking out after he scavenges the kitchen and finds a cereal box and milk carton that have NOTHING in it (why keep empty boxes?????)
they have to go where he wants them to go. nightmare gets to dress them up in whatever he wants because theyre his dolls they can wear anything he wants. it gets incredibly embarrassing when the trio is forced to wear pink pretty dresses and fight like that. or they have to go around the castle doing stupid fucking roleplays and it gets weird because theyre being forced to reenact a bullying scene and nightmare's giving them the death stare if they don't get it right (is this projection. this must be some form of coping mechanism dust theorizes)
and then you know nightmare's not exactly the best toy owner so he loses a few of his dolls here and there. maybe they get destroyed when he was playing a bit too rough with them! (killer dies in battle for like the 29th time) but its okay because he can just go back on down to the store (something new) and buy. wait no. steal another doll and then put it back in his dreamhouse and BOOM he has a full set again!! so sweet so cute. his dolls don't have consciousness what are you talking about theyre begging to be let go?? that's all just your imagination. what do you mean you're asking about the several slowly dying bodies with removed arms or legs in his dungeon. oh that's just where the broken but not yet destroyed toys go dw theyre fine its humane
#toy story but evil#imagine nightmare dresses the trio up in dreamtale esque clothes and then forces them to pretend to be his parents#because the stupid shit grew up parentless and now that he has dolls he can just roleplay that now#or he could just make the trio roleplay as a family. one parent two children. huh i wonder where i've heard this before#he's still like totally smart with all the multiversal plans and conquering and manipulation and all that#just that he's still got a bit of childish charm in him yk.🥺🥺🥺 he's sweet and cute 🥺🥺🥺🥺#killer says as he tries not to go insane from being stuck in a room with dust amd horror for weeks on end#nightmare has no sense of boundary for the trio because theyre just little toys for him#if he wants them to change clothes he strips them because dolls cant change by themselves#if he wants them to move a specific way he maneuvers them because dolls cant movs on their own#nightmare's messing around and has all his dolls in the splits because who hasnt done that#dust and horror are in so much pain. killer just feels humiliated#these are GROWN MEN you are objectifying here nightmare. LITERALLY objectifying. but irs okay its funny#dadmare but instead of nightmare being the dad he's the kid. while also simultaneously having all the power#this would go for a sick ass plotline if someone made a fic for it#it aint gonna be me 🤣🤣 but like.... trio has to convince nightmare to stop treating them like goddamn dolls#and nightmare has to change his stupid little kiddy mentality while also they all have to just get on better terms in general#so stupidn so dumb. would the mtt hate eachother during all this. quite possibly#three crazy freaks trapped in one room for unknown amounts of time. homoerotic arguments must have occured#they must know stuff about eachother that they don't wanna know. they all know what they look like naked#nightmare is the leading cause of mtt deaths because he just doesn't know how to properly handle his toys#oops he says as he accidentally breaks horror's neck and dust and killer watch on. guess its time to get a new one!#and he gleefully skips off to horrortale while dust and killer are left with the dusting beheaded body. what a fun time#killer sans#dust sans#horror sans#nightmare sans#murder time trio#bad sanses#tricule rant

i have nothing to say about the newest episodes of LO
so I'll let past me from the year 2022 say it instead
because everything they said a year and a half ago ironically still applies today and i don't even know how that's possible but it's where we are 💀😭
#except now instead of it being entirely on hades' behalf it's now ALSO on hera's behalf#literally why have we gotten a whole ass third season that's continued to drag its heals on the main conflict of the story#persephone has to play superman for everyone else's trauma and never gets to address her own#we'll get episodes showing the empathetic POV's of the abusers tho#and literally all of them come down to “parents suck”#literally they're all the same backstory and plotline#like i get if that's the theme rachel is trying to go for here but how is this even a retelling of the Abduction of Persephone at this poin#persephone has so little to do that rachel has to literally shove everyone else's trauma and problems onto her plate for her to solve#all while her own trauma is still gathering dust in the corner#we're not even seeing her witness the women around her find their own strength and learning from them#because SHE'S TOO BUSY BEING WRITTEN AS THE ANSWER TO EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEMS#THE APOLLO PLOTLINE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE STAKES ANYMORE#CAN WE JUST DEAL WITH IT PLEASE AND END THIS FRIGGING COMIC 😭#IT'S LITERALLY SO DEAD IN THE WATER THAT IT'S REPEATING ITSELF#lo critical#anti lore olympus#lore olympus critical

this might sound insensitive but taash is currently my biggest disappointment of the companions because there is literally nothing to their story other than the gender identity
#idk how to describe it but their whole quest (and especially the accompanying coded entries) are so jarring#like they're very modern sounding and therapy speaky? which is just weird in what's supposed to be a medieval setting#also it's such a missed opportunity since qunari already have a completely different view on gender than the rest of thedas#not to explore something with that instead of just using 21st century language and explanations#(and i say all this as someone who's been going through my own gender thing for the last few months akskdkd)#i get what weeks was going for but it felt more like a beginners guide#for people who've never heard of non-binary#than an actual storyline#which is genuinely disappointing when compared to the other companions#who have interesting shit going on#don't know why they couldn't give them a plotline alongside the gender stuff lol#datv lb#datv spoilers#datv critical

the sense that cassie would knock into tony
#not even only regarding Gregory but ellis as well#she'd see this perfectly good friend who cares about tony and has stuck by him for years that tony grew up with#and yeah hes a little flawed but not enough to be dropped or condemned#and shed see how tony blows him off and resents him bc of his own pent up anger and wants to stop hanging out with him#on top of watching tony treat gregory as only a mystery/ggy#(bc this would have to be post book+sb and pre ruin id say)#and shed get mad not only on gregorys behalf but on ellis'#friendship is so important to her and shes grateful to have met Gregory every day#gregory whos flawed like ellis is but tony still wants to take him for granted#both ellis and gregory#shed yell soo much sense into him#and its even more interesting during some sort of plotline where they have to stick together#like ur my only ally and its killing me watching you treat your friends like this but i have to stick with you#doesnt mean i wont scream at you after noticing all this#tony and cassie having different outlooks on a ggy esque plotline#like finding him or solving it or something (but cassies friendship was with the real gregory)#and she watches how as she cares about helping and saving her friend and making sure hes okay#tony is treating it like a detective case and like gregory is just a mystery to solve like hes a goal and not a person#or his FRIEND#cassie would be soo mad#maybe like during ruin or something tony is there#and she doesnt know about the murderous part until she yells at tony about how hes treating finding Gregory#and then he explains it all to her but is like i donnttt think it was him he mighhtt have been possessed#imagining post ruin Tony is the only thing keeping cassie from spiraling#like thyere trapped down there for a bit and he finds a way out but cassie has been being whispered to by the mask and shit#he keeps her from being turned against gregory in this case#using the words she threw in his face about friendship back in hers#not-gregory duo#tony#cassie

ok so we're all in agreement that the way the show is handling trixie and matthew's storyline is complete shite right?
#call the midwife#call the midwife series 13#don't usually like putting negativity in tags but.... i am seriously so frustrated by this lol#not only does it just... not make sense with EITHER characters#it also just feels like a totally lazy way to add drama...#like there's totally a way they could have added a money-issues storyline that could have been really interesting!#but pointless miscommunication? matthew being a chauvinistic dickhead? trixie have barely any of her own agency??? nah nah#fuck that lol#also looks like they're going to make her return to alcoholism in the finale which is completely annoying#like there were whole SERIES dedicated to her getting help with it!!#and it was amazing! it was one of the few times i've seen alcoholism depicted with such care on screen PARTICULARLY w/ a female character#uguhughuu idk#i'm just ranting here soz lol#and like ctm has made some very strange choices in terms of characters and plotlines in the past#but this one really feels like it's taking the piss imo lol...

late seasons supernatural makes sam so intensely traumatised and then shrugs and wipes their hands of him and refuses to give him any other storylines. his entire season nine arc if it can even be called that is just Sam gets violated again! and meanwhile eighty percent of the fandom watch and go God Sam is so fucking boring
#s8 sam dares to commit the cardinal crime of having a life outside dean even just for a narrative moment and his punishment is literally to#never have any plotlines of his own after s8 ever again#(disclaimer im on s10 so i could actually be talking out of my ass here. but)#though i am enjoying s10 and enjoyed s9. much more than s8. sam’s arc in s10 seems to be Be worried about dean#and his s9 arc was Get violated and then Worry about dean#spn#sam winchester#sammy defence squad#oliver talks

#writing fic has to be the most embarrassing thing to angst over#like oooh no i have these stories i really like but what happens next? what do you mean i have to write it?#what do you mean i’m in charge of my own destiny?#wdym there’s no real deadline and that novels take years to write but i dread the passage of time anyway#anywaaaay i’ve written about 25k words between 4 fics#so your girl is goin to work and clocking in hours at the yaoi factory#i just keep losing parking lot fistfights to all these plotlines i’m trying to juggle#but labru and zosan update should be coming this month ✨#and if all goes well … krbk update in early July#wasabi rambles

oh yall weren't joking frostpaw actually might have gotten spayed
#asc spoilers#actually. since this is smokys owner i actually dont know if this really is the case#first of all bc toms would get this treatment too so its weird smoky wouldnt note that (could change in the actual book)#and also this is the same twoleg that took floss's kits when they were like a day old and keeps letting their male cat have kittens#so if anything i think the twoleg is anti neutering. but ofc the doctor couldve just made the decision on their own#my other doubt is that they havent had a medic kits plotline in a bit and the erins will keel over if they cant have nextgen kids over ther

i think people have Got to start treating even silent protagonists as their own character in their respective games
this is about people going all "oh i would have told kieran the truth in teal mask" "i would have noticed he was spiralling and helped him" ok and if you did there would be no rest of the dlc?? there was a story to tell and it was a tragic one, so no matter how bad you felt about the actions the game made you take you would Have to take them. in the end that isn't you or your friends thats florian/juliana's.
#clai speaks#i thought we all understood pokemon is a sometimes painfully linear game#there is One plotline. kieran was doomed the second you bought and downloaded that dlc#i get wishing something could have been done for kieran but for it to be Canon? just write your own teal mask good ending AU i think

Regarding the new Hazbin Hotel trailer
There's good pacing
Then there's bad pacing
Then there's "Give away your midseason twist in the first official trailer for your cartoon coming out in a month" pacing
#hazbin hotel#hazbin critical#why should i even care about the earlier episodes#where they establish the heavenly redemption plotline#when they're just gonna up and say that heaven doesn't care and they're gonna go to war#i mean i guess it's kinda predictable anyhow#but you don't just show them bracing for a fight before they're supposed to have anything to fight for#you gotta leave some room for plausible deniability on where the story's gonna go#people do lose interest in the journey when they know the destination#it's fickle sure but broadway musical numbers and elaborate animation can't save you when you make a tvtropes article of your own trailer

If I have to make the content myself so be it,
but goshdangit I want a story where the apocalypse future turtles arrive in the present and Casey is so happy about it and everyone is excited that they survived and sure yeah it’s great but the side plot shows at least ONE OF THE BOYS gets really anxious and feels sad because he thinks Casey is replacing him and he doesn’t love them?? He went out of his way to resurrect his family through space and time?? Because the ones in the present weren’t enough of a family for him?? So obviously Casey must hate him?? Fear of abandonment who?? Inferiority complex never heard of it?? And so little by little they start to resent the older versions of them (and maybe Casey too)
Because honestly
I would eat that up with tears in my eyes like it was forrest truffle porkchops cooked by Rupert Swaggart himself
#i want it#i need it#does this exist somewhere and where can I find it???#someone please I don’t want to cook up everything on my own#please tell me someone else wants this too#dont lie it would be a good read right#a good read#i dont have abandonment issues#inferiority complex who#im not crazy#im just sad#tears in my eyes#plotline#writing ideas#angst prompt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#ONE OF THE BOYS GETS SAD (who are we kidding it’s Leonardo isn’t it)#rottmnt

The rise of "let people enjoy things" is single handedly the backbone of the rise of anti intellectualism
#i need to talk about this#disclaimer : im beyond terrible at putting my point across#so with that being said let me attempt at it#let's take look at the hate and misogyny women receive for liking a certain genre of books#that is so often simply countered with let people enjoy things#but we cannot let that narrative take over a whole as if critical thinking is “bad”?#booktok has made it so that disliking a popular books makes you the person with the superiority complex who should just let people enjoy-#-things#but when did criticizing actively target audiences who like that peice of literature? When did that become the narrative?#its all mindless consumption without a second thought to the actual material which can easily be credited to the tropification of books#the enemies do turn into lovers and the best friends do fall in love 10 years down the line#classifying books into tropes and then fulfilling that promise gives books an illusion of being “good” since it checks those boxes-#-that the reader picked up the book for in the first place#the act of reading has kind of been substituted by the act of being a reader and just owning stacks of books#we have turned away from any form of analysis or criticism#if it scratches the itch then its automatically the perfect book without further thought#i cant help but contribute the mere existence of that “itch” to how mordern books are classified into tropes with set plotlines#intelligenctualism is almost always looked at as elitism#reading only classics doesn't make you an intellectual individual but looking at any book with a critical lens may it be a classic or a rom#-com does#criticizing certain aspects of your absolute favorite books is intellectualism and not bullying people who like anything but classics#that distinction is so far lost in translation that talking about how a popular book is objectively bad is being a “hater”#well then im a hater#this is not a hate post for people who actively enjoy booktock or the more popular books#im just trying to introduce any amount of nuance into the conversation thats all#i can honestly go on forever but i think ill end my ranting here#literary criticism#literature#books#anti intellectualism

i need to fully watch s9 of mlp fim honestly but oh god do i not like the tone of that season. everything feels off and...cynical?? if that makes sense??? at least the finale's song is great and feels genuine but bleh.
also twilight becoming equestria's sole princess is stupid as hell lol sorry. she clearly did not want to do it but her friends brushed her off with "oh there she goes twilight-ing again *eyeroll*" no you assholes she is clearly refusing consent LISTEN TO HER???
#season 7 is weird too but not as bad as s8#honestly they couldve ended it before the last two seasons and i would be ok with it#i mean the pillar of equestria stuff got snuffed so bad for the “Twilight's Magic School of Friendship TM” plotline but...still#maybe g5's plot had something to do with the coronation plot but i rlly do not like that anyway so#plus it makes celestia look terrible in hindsight#like she specifically bought twilight up to eventually replace her as equestria's ruler#i thought the whole point of having multiple “Princesses” was to showcase various facets of harmony#sun & moon + friendship & love.....i mean it's not exact but still#they each had their own thing and s9 just shot that whole element down#mlp#mlp fim#shummy screaming into the void

discliamer since i havent really done that for these kinds of posts and i feel like this one is worded in a more demanding way than i usually do: any post of mine regarding what the ccs "should" do is less me actually wanting them to do what i say and more me speculating on the kinds of actions that they could take, not cause i think im smart or tactical or anything but because this is my idea of what fun is
im watching the tower vod rn and i think the only real way to deal with minute and jumper at this point in the server is to. not
like it probs wont be satisfying to the PlayersTM considering the kind of ppl they are (proactive, confrontational, plays along with the spirit of the server, self-focused morals) but considering the kind of ppl minute and jumper are (reactive, avoidant, prioritizes survival even if it means not great content, normative morals) i think its the only real way to engage with them when it comes to this kind of recursive conflict
like everytime they confront one another it keeps circling back to this moral debate regarding the ethics of killing ppl on fucking Lifesteal of all things and i highly doubt its ever gonna stop (at least for this season) considering none of the new members have really been traumatized the lifesteal way, i dont mean regular smp trauma like war and betrayal and all that jazz cause theyve already got that, i mean Lifesteal trauma: the realization that everything is a cycle, that good and evil doesnt matter, that feeling of hope shattering over and over again, that realization that in the grand scheme of things your ideals dont matter and the only thing you can truly hope for in the server are teammates and allies that wont backstab you, and that even then thats a tall order
so back to Not dealing with jumpertech, i dont mean forgetting what they did, i mean actively avoiding them, acting irrationally scared of them even when theyre being civil, fully putting them in the role of big scary villains, basically still putting what they did at the very forefront but acting like its an insurmountable trauma, planting doubt in their status as heroes, continually being the aggressors just cements in their minds that yes they are the heroes and that yes they are doing the good things
like whether the PlayersTM like it or not this is an unstoppable force vs immovable object kind of situation except the unstoppable force has more to lose by virtue of having a goal that can easily be tided by the immovable object
and i do think they can pull it off, they can lose a fight and lose so much that it breaks their spirit, like jumpertech have both been in kings, they both know how determined at least zam and mapicc are, surely it would be really offputting to see someone youre so used to seeing never giving up to do just that
#mine.txt#i think 4c is maybe the closest to having that Lifesteal TraumaTM i was talking bout but hes not quite there yet#possibly wemmbu as well but truth be told i dont think hes absorbing any of it lol#not even cause hes dense or whatever i just dont think he gives a fuck since hes already inclined to the kind of server ls is#so it would take A Lot to give him Lifesteal TraumaTM#pentar i think rather than being Inclined to the server its more that hes uhhh Adaptive to it for lack of a better word#like hes got the kind of personality where it would also take A Lot to give him Lifesteal TraumaTM#but i think its in the opposite way to wemmbu almost#where rather than it being because hes got the exact kind of personality the server looks for#its instead where his inclinations almost. parry everything that could give him Lifesteal TraumaTM#like he doesnt care that much about loyalty but hes no traitor either; hes good at pvp but doesnt engage in it self-destructively#he goes along with plotlines if he gets involved in them but will set up his own plotlines as well#so om the topic of jumpertech#they seem to firmly put themselves into the role of ''cyclebreakers''#im curious to see how far they go with it as well as how theyd react to the servers inclination of breaking the hero archetypes#would be interesting to see at least one person not be caught by the cycle even after the Lifsteal TraumatizedTM and actively reject it#i dont even know what thatd look like#closest i can think of is spep but i think he has an acceptance of things and just finding joy in it rather than a rejection#i wrote this all at around midnight so maybe this is all just complete nonsense but its interesting to think of at this moment at least

noooo don't let me design up an overlord fankid/clone to be Sunburst's girlfriend, especially not one who takes nothing seriously, gives off "Would you like me to kill this guy for you? :D" energy, and aspires to be a phase sixer (sorta) like Overlord one day (which is impossible but she doesn't know that yet) /j
#no because in my mind she's not part of the Coalition#she's in her own division but she meets up with the Fortitude's crew occasionally#torn between her being an overpan kid like her first iterations (before initially getting taken out of the FP) or her being a clone#because I'm really considering her being an Overlord clone rather than a sexually reproduced child#yes she was originally in the FP for a few iterations but then she wasn't for a while#i don't have a name for her yet but she's got a place within the Fortitude— she's just not always there for it#oc#ocs#sunburst#the fiasco plotline#overlord#tfe overlord#honorary tag#mtmte overlord#and#sunburst would say yes to the question#she would let [BLANK] kill someone for her
