so I know a lot of star wars fics use flimsi or datapads to indicate when someone has a lot of work to do (piles of datapads, endless flimsiwork etc) and while all that is well and good, even today a lot of stuff is actually digital, and i imagine it would be even moreso in the future.
however with everything digital you would still need more screen space to be able to keep track of it, which is one of the reasons a lot of people have two monitors these days.
all that is to say: behold! fox's desk:

#star wars#star wars meta#tcw#tcw meta#commander fox#shitposting#this is definitely not a crucial plot point i am working with or anything#anyway my thoughts on that side of star wars worldbuilding#i can see maybe secure datapads being used for very important specific/confidential documents#but like why give someone a wholeass tablet when you can just send an email#'THIS DATAPAD COULD HAVE BEEN A SPEMAIL (space email)' - Fox probably

“why would a man be there?!” well travis’s character serves as a plot device to every single girl out there to the point that he is neglected by the writers as his own character. not to mention he QUITE LITERALLY represents the crumble of patriarchal values and how the women gain control out there and how the society changes to be more feminine in its entirety
#‘why would a man be there’ SYBAU HE’S LITERALLY SO IMPORTANT TO THE PLOT#AND THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT OF. ALL OF THEM ACTUALLY#it’s only funny to a point because damn is the hate I’m seeing for him unnecessary#‘he was a misogynist!’ it’s almost like… that’s the point. and how he is no longer.#travis martinez#travis yellowjackets#yellowjackets#౨ৎ yellowjackets

Quinn and her dad just trying to have an emotional reunion:
Rust & Cole in the background:

#clown in a cornfield#clown in a cornfield spoilers#quinn maybrook#ruston vance#cole hill#I was fighting for my life trying not to laugh during this scene#tho I was v happy to see rust and cole get their Big Damn Reunion straight from the book#minus the CPR and skipping straight to sloppy makeout#also v happy that Quinn and her relationship with her dad remained her most important relationship in the film#shoutout to Kupadraws on Twitter for the bottom pic- truly a versatile image#I rlly need to see the movie again- curious how non-book readers liked it#was actually a p close adaptation despite the casting and excision of at least one major plot point#actually appreciated what they did add because providing a little more context to rust & cole’s relationship#helped the kiss feel like a natural conclusion to their underlying tension#book two delves more into their romantic relationship and how their trauma from that night strains it#but book one doesn’t provide much background on their childhood friendship that was clearly a little more intense than anyone knew

Not to be that friend that too woke, but is anyone else annoyed at how mcd aphmaus whole thing was taking in the strays, being a mother to children with no home despite not sharing blood. Only for Alina to come along as aphs biological child, and suddenly she's the most specialist, most important kid of all of aphmaus children?
#not saying thats how the character of aphmau treats her. but it is how the narrative treats her#all of her plot points could have been better filled by lilith whos literally a non charater because of her#like i think it makes sense for irene to have the whole “a mother to all but yerning for a child of her own” thing but not aphmau#she already has children of her own. are they lesser just because she didn't birth them? i hate this#aphmau#aphblr#minecraft diaires#is this controversial? i just at my core do not like the idea that a kid thats your blood is inherently more important#i have way more to say about aphmaus kids but i will leave it at the fact that they have so little character inherently makes the reveal-#-that irene turned her daughter into a relic less impactful#they shouldve gotten arcs. all we get is a time skip that shouldve been shorter and then no one having resentment about it like come on#levin should not have taken her back so easily he wasnt old enough to even remember her#sorry this turned into a rant but you guys kinda get what im trying to say right?#disscussion#mcd#minecraft diaries#alina aphmau

You know, it’s funny how these two are both considered iconic versions of their series’ characters, meant to be cool and evil and intimidating
But in reality they’re kind of pathetic losers who can’t get over their exes and are way too obsessed with killing their rivals, to the point where it’s honestly detrimental to their causes
And they both came out around similar times too
#to be honest I wasn’t sure whether to post this here or on Twitter but I figured more people would see it here#the thought only crossed my mind because I was thinking about how maybe Shredder could be inspiration for a Transformer#I don’t remember who specifically#but yeah I feel like these two are weirdly similar#they can aura farm and trick you as a kid but later you realize they’re kind of losers#and I mean honestly neither of them needed to get involved in the plot they could’ve left the heroes alone#like the Autobots were stranded on Earth which no one knew was secretly important while the Cons have a ship#and Hamato Yoshi was living as a rat in the sewers of America he couldn’t have threatened the Foot in Japan#they literally could have left them alone and be relatively fine#but no they have to kill Optimus/Splinter and so they die#I think in universe 2012 Shredder is called out for his behavior more particularly by Karai#but as far as I’m aware in fandom TFP Prime is more mocked for his behavior#probably because of shifting opinions on Prime#idk how good 2012 is considered in all honesty it’s been a while since I was into TMNT#anyways yeah wanted to point out this connection#I should get some sleep#transformers#transformers prime#teenage mutant ninja turtles#tmnt 2012#megatron#tmnt shredder#random stuff

What's the POINT?????
I half expected Misty's fucking chocolate martini to be poisoned, that's how out of left field these stupid plotlines are getting
#stupid flighty bullshit#yellowjackets#yellowjackets spoilers#what is the point of slowly killing them off like this? just because you have melissa mention the wilderness while she does it#DOESNT MAKE IT MAKE SENSE#she is a NOTHING character who is ONLY getting development because the writers are making decisions on the fly#and they suddenly decided that she would be important#and there is no REASON for her to fucking kill van#im sick of this show just deciding to go for shock value instead of sticking to a coherent story!#speaking of stupid fucking choices#the entire group deciding not to leave just because shauna said so was DUMB#they had the gun AND the crossbow and the only fucking reason they stuck around to negotiate#was the writers trying to five point turn themselves out of the fucking corner they wrote the plot into#just. van's death sealed it for me gang#i would be okay with her dying if it MEANT SOMETHING#if it MADE SENSE#i dont even know what the story is anymore. and that is a bad thing!!#theres being in the dark and then theres having no clue what the point is!#the adult timeline just doesnt have compelling stakes anymore im sorry but its true! they literally had to kill lottie off#to try and make it interesting again. and then they dont even stick to that plot thread!

"In the time we have traveled together, I have come to see how you are with one another. Closer than brothers. [...]" Minstrels, perhaps, see too clearly.
#realm of the elderlings#fitzloved#the farseer trilogy#bookedit#litedit#assassin's quest#rote#&#i just think. robin hobb sure put a lot of important plot points into all of this.#and the story is structured from so many angles to put f&f in a specifically romantic aspect. why do all of that.#this sure is a weird way to go with queerbaiting#one thing that especially made me go ???? was the point with nighteyes and fools connection#because that comes RIGHT AFTER nighteyes questioning how molly would work with nighteyes and fitz#and you see both of them realizing/knowing that it could never work. but then BAM right next chapter nighteyes and fool bond#all of that. and kettles speech about molly and fitz's relationship never having any actual substance....... what was the point#why put so many plot elements together just for them?????#and these are just very big ones. some of the implicit material in the writing like THIS one 'minstrels perhaps see too clearly'#and many other examples drive me insane for real

I got Procreate and gave it a test run with some silly AU sketches of course
So have Calamity SJ adopting Hong‘er! Ft. my silly calamity MNQ AU and it’s inevitable conclusion of atticwife Jun Wu in the second pic because I am no longer in control here.
SY tried to be the cool uncle, unfortunately YQY is the cooler uncle so he got the Feng Xin treatment. Binghe about to start beef with a child lmfao.
Ling Wen is new heavenly emperor and I ensure you she is as overworked as ever, but she does not care about heavenly officials marrying calamities anymore. First was YQY, and then Jun Wu. Xie Lian and Shi Qingxuan are really not trendstarters here.
#svsss#shen jiu#tgcf#yue qingyuan#qijiu#heaven official's blessing#mxtx svsss#original shen qingqiu#calamity sj#calamity child custody fight au#junmei#I have painfully obvious brainrots and I’m not sorry#basically sj met honger while he was out getting his weekly fill of killing slavers#he saw the kid fight the other kids bullying him and though hold up that one has potential#so begins trying to befriend a wild feral cat. he starts with pouches of food and money#tentatively honger begins to trust sj and his weird pieces of advice that work too well in the streets#they develop feral street rat to feral street rat communication#honger doesnt wish to leave so sj sets up in the shrines of xl with him for a while#teaches him all the important stuff like counting and writing (though his calligraphy stays atrocious despite everyone‘s best efforts)#yqy checks in with his husband and finds him with a child#so naturally he immediately adopts him too#thes both help him learn fighting and all#later honger leaves of his own volition towards the rest of the tgcf plot and qijiu doesn‘t see him anymore for a while#eventually a new ghost king is in the kiln and SJ goes to check out who comes out of the kiln#cue spiderman pointing meme#severe scolding later#honger now hc is adopted back because this is their son#sj even gives him a battle fan which hc ts with just like Sj#i imagine sj would have no complaints about xie lian though. he may be a hissy cat but he can see this is good for both hualian#the black water arc here would be vastly different too cause He Xuan would get emotional support from yqy and sj

it's like, i really do enjoy most of the bats as characters and i really do like a lot of their comics. but also i am sooooo tired of them being hailed as better than literally everyone else. both in fanon but also in comics (modern ones are esp egregious imo, like WHAT was that shit about batman and the joker being the most dangerous men on the planet. hi. have you heard of lanterns? speedsters? supers? actually if i keep listing groups who could kick batman's ass we'd be here all day). they're like kudzu. that shit needs to stay in its native environment (funky little neo-noir detective stories) and stop being an invasive species (putting down everyone else to make them seem cooler). put bruce wayne back into a murder mystery setting that isn't about saving the world but is about saving one person or one family that no one else would've saved right now or so help me god. the whole invasive species cross contamination thing is unhealthy for both him And the other ecosystems he keeps getting transplanted into. please. it's so dark in here
#rimi talks#imo it's also like a massive escalation problem like Everything has to be huge immense world ending bullshit plots#rather than ''i am going to solve a local mystery to help local people'' things. which are important also#um. points at action comics 792. you see like superman does here? caring about one person who someone thought wouldn't matter to anyone?#sorry im just going to go on a superman tangent but ac791 and 792 both absolutely gutted me and everyone should read them#both are pretty standalone and both ruined me#one is about something tragic that happened when clark was in high school#and just wanted to try and help a girl everyone was bullying for being fat. and they became friends and had a good time at a dance together#and then the second one is about him noticing the chatty guy who runs the newspaper stand where he stops sometimes is missing#and then just stopping at nothing to try and find him. even though he's someone he barely knew outside of being a regular at his stand#and it just really got me. my god. more of that pleaseeeeeee 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕

i feel like ppl who don't like the remaster bcuz they feel like it mischaracterizes their fave or removed their favorite story moment or joke are forgetting that the remaster isn't like..... canon?? it isn't replacing that actually happened. the original is still canon to the rest of the show. oj is still an asshole paintbrush and lightbulb still never interacted until season two!!! that's the actual canon of the show!!!! im not sure what the in-universe explanation for the remaster is but i do know it isn't going to replace the original so if you dont like how the remaster does something rest assured your interpretation is Objectively the correct one in terms of how characters/their actions will impact the story "going forward" <3 and mephone4s still likes hello kitty
#txt#inanimate insanity#personally i would imagine the remaster as a non-canon alternative for ppl who can't get through the original s1#but still need an understanding of the important characters/plot points#like they're NOT rewriting what actually happened guys 😭😭 u cant say something from season 2 “doesnt make sense now”#bcuz the remaster literally has no impact on the future events in the show#ISLAND OF MISFIT OBJECTS IS STILL CANON!!! IF YOU'RE IN LINE STAY IN LINE!!!!!

watched Endgame with my friend and it was his first time seeing it and he TALKED THROUGH TONY STARK'S DEATH.
"why doesn't he just go to Wakanda and get healed"
why don't you go choke on the emotional repression you hold so dear and maybe develop some semblance of media literacy?
#tony stark#avengers endgame#iron man#marvel#mcu#marvel mcu#avengers#I was genuinely getting pissed like can you shut upppppp 😭😭😭#Im glad this app has the girls and the gays because i can not take anymore dudebro takes. especially on marvel#my friends would talk through important plot points and then ask dumb questions that were EXPLAINED#like pls stop talking about how many fords there are do u not see stonys character development and the direct parallel to the no trust scene#this is incredible cinema ppl

One thing I thought was funny was how Lucanis and to some extent, Taash, were positioned as these "experts" on specific things but those things didn't actually end up very relevant at all. Taash spent almost all of the main quest dragon fights going "they're blighted/mind controlled/different, I don't know how to deal with these!! :(((" and Lucanis is just a fucking. Guy. He's literally just the guy holding the knife. The knife itself is the part that can kill a god, anybody acrobatic enough could've held it and/or chucked it at Gilly and Elgar Man. Like he doesn't provide his "mage killing" expertise at any point, and even if he had any, how would that apply to them? Gilly is a huge horrible tentacle mommy and all Lucanis can do is yeet himself at her real hard. And he fails the first time anyway because Spite is doing the Macarena in his head or whatever. Mans doesn't even have any templar magic-nullifying abilities because the old mage-templar stuff is too icky for Bioware to acknowledge nowadays.
Then we got Emmrich, who is our "fade expert," but in truth he's mostly a spirit expert. When the game went "you need a fade expert to understand the Eluvians!!" I was like ... ok what the fuck is Bellara supposed to be then? Is she not a literal Veil Jumper? Did she not literally fix the main one already?
Veilguard wants the team to both be a ragtag bunch of misfits and an elite heist team of niche experts and it fumbles both so bad.
#veilguard critical#half of these guys i'm like 'hey what are y'all doing here like fr'#and i'm not saying everybody needs a reason to exist or anything#the da2 gang were just stuck in hell together for ten years just out of stockholm (kirkwall?) syndrome#but when the game makes recruitment and having all these super special and important and well-known experts into a plot point#it is i feel more important to establish their reasons for being there lmao#they clearly came up with the guys first and then tried to shoehorn in a reason for why they need to be in the plot

@sockdooe, This is the full original image:

According to the Tumblr post I originally snagged it from, it's an early piece of promotional artwork, meant to depict Keith as the series's central character. Shiro is shoved into the background, presumably to illustrate that he was intended to fulfill a Doomed Mentor role.
#Correspondence.#sockdooe#Takashi Shirogane#Shiro#You're nothingness but shining and everywhere at once.#Allura#You're everything and everyone who is or ever was.#Hunk Garrett#Half-Galra White Savior Keith#Pidge Holt#Katie Holt#Lance McClain#Voltron: Legendary Defender#It IS a really nice piece with a ton of personality but I hate a lot of what it represents.#Specifically how Allura is just sort of thrown in there like an awkward Token Female when she's one of the most important people in the#entire series.#And of course the sidelining and eventual nerfing of Shiro because the writers simply HAD to get him out of the way to achieve their#desired team line-up.#Until they were delivered the ultimate reality check in the form of an order from the higher-ups that they couldn't permanently kill a#popular character who also happens to be a gay man#leaving them scrambling like the clowns they were to figure out how to reintegrate him into the story.#Then the voice actor for *their* 'Chosen One' had scheduling conflicts that made him unavailable to them for a significant chunk of time.#Call me petty but I call that karma.#If they hadn't been dead set on killing Shiro they could have avoided the entire ridiculous clone plot because he still would have been#a member of the team and easily able to step back into his previous role of Black Paladin had Steven Yeun's outside job commitments#unavoidably necessitated Keith being M.I.A. for a period.#But I expect too much of showrunners who couldn't handle having a disabled main lead and exploited his sexuality for internet brownie#points despite having every intention of killing him and keeping him dead.

actually Lily is the main character of the marauders era
#she's the catalyst for everything. she unites snapes arc with the marauders/order#she's the one who sacrifices herself and starts the entire plot of hp#ultimately james and snape are side characters in her story!!!#i think a point of DH was 'you spent so much time thinking about your dad but actually it was your mum who was important'#she is Protagonist and its time she was treated like it
