I'm still just.... So normal about his page.

Ford trusted Bill enough that he consentually rewired his brain and allowed Bill to mess with his cognitive functions.

Also- the only reason Stanley even got pulled into this is because Bill threatened Ford with this later!!! Like- I genuinely do not think that Ford understood the connotations of what he was allowing Bill to be able to do until this moment:

The only reason Ford ended up reaching out to Stanley and subsequently falling through the portal after their argument is because Bill scared him so badly that he felt he had no other choice. Because he had suddenly realized just how big of a mistake he had actually made and just how much of himself he'd given over to Bill.

Bill is the one who ended up dragging the man who would end up killing him into the narrative and he had no idea for 30 years.

Do u have 90s Anime OVA reccomendations?

The Little Witch Academia OVA is my favorite thing to come out of Trigger. FLCL, obviously. I liked Gunsmith Cats a lot. Birdy the Mighty has stellar character animation and a fun body-swapping premise that avoids being creepy. If you like stories that take place in the Pacific Islands, I'd recommend this really obscure OVA, From a Distant Ocean Came Coo, about a young boy finding a baby plesiosaur. Sonic the Hedgehog OVA is a classic. I need to watch the Patlabor films. While technically not an OVA, the anthology film project Memories is absolutely stellar; Magnetic Rose is one of the best sci-fi horror flicks out there.

doing a tdp rewatch and this show just is That Good like I got into fandom after S4, came in Loving S4 (uh oh), and then I spent the last 2 years hearing so many complaints about the show and how it handles things and my story analysis ass always playing defense because i see How the show is working and eventually getting worn down into like yeah idk it's got flaws I guess but I still love it

and now im like

it's perfect actually and any complaint about it is irrelevant to me. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to and doing it well. Fuck yall for making me feel like garbage about it. Especially my brother who will never read this post and didn't make it past S2 because he decided before he even watched that he wasn't going to like it.

where did we get the idea that twelve’s era is poorly written? aside from a few outliers (which are still fun episodes for the most part), his episodes stand pretty well

think its interesting how milsiril quit the canaries out of disgust, shuros mom seemed to become a recluse (conjecture) bc of her moral character leading to her inability to stomach the going ons of the household, shuro reacting to all this by trying to interact w his retainers as little as possible and like the system keeps running without them like a meatgrinder. Like the only ppl who benefit from their choice to not participate in these systems is themselves, their own comfort, rather than their objections leading to any meaningful change for the ppl most harmed by these systems. Also interesting that these three are also high high up on the hierarchy. I think it relates to how laios left home early out of disgust on how ppl treated falin-this action did not actually seem to help her situation much and just left her alone to deal w the ostracization. And it's not until the end Laios aknowledges that falin's not the only person who gets targeted bc of her magic and resolves to become a leader to create a world where ppl like her can live safely. The systems these characters live in are unpalatable, but to not engage in it at all is irresponsible, bc they are characters born into power. It's going to be ugly, difficult work, but that is what it means to be in the cycle of life. Also ties into marcille wanting to create a safe dungeon when it is impossible . And ties into arbitrariness of when disgust is triggered and how it leads to ppl not engaging in the very important parts of life whether it is w eating, shitting, or the bad parts of society.

it is kinda funny to me when ppl say things in the vein of “jazz is perfect to represent rouge because of it’s chaotic nature”, cause like sure, okay, i can understand why you’d say that, but that’s the kinda thing you say when you have not listened to any jazz at all.

jazz can seem chaotic, sure, but it seems odd to me to define the whole umbrella of jazz as chaotic when you absolutely have not listened to actually chaotic sounding jazz subgenres like bebop. i just generally extremely dislike the descriptor of “chaotic” for jazz because i think it’s fundamentally untrue, there is absolutely logic and order in jazz, it’s built upon a rich tradition. jazz can be complex, frantic, energetic, and is often improvisational, but i don’t think it’s chaotic.

also i think that suits rouge far better than actual chaos, cause rouge is absolutely a complex and logical person, she just acts first and foremost on her desires

played thru slay the princess again with the pristine cut update. many thoughts. extremely many thoughts.

Best part of this scene hands down was Max like, "We live in the most densely populated city in Thailand it is very possible someone else got him sick, Pisaeng," and Pisaeng staring him dead in the face like, "rewatch the montage jackass we have three friends and we only invite y'all over once a year so yes, it was me"

[rowanthestrange]

maybe meaningless, maybe of note: know that odd bit in rogue where the duchess lost a shoe, but it never actually comes to anything - no cinderella princess/duchess-bird-identification plot element or whatever, it just happens?

you know where else someone loses a shoe?

susan right at the end of the dalek invasion of earth.

*shrugs*

maybe nothing and just generalised cinderella theme both times, or maybe they were given a ‘subtle susan reference’ quota to fill.

the nancy boy thing is just so fucking insane because like. they broke from the spelling of this name to do it but also incorporated it into the spelling of his name with n for nancy (possibly showing how he associates it with himself). but the license plate could have been any letter and that letter could have been any word and they chose b for boy. they could have cut to the license plate from any letter in dennis and they chose n for nancy. and we already know the way dennis spells out his name/words in this scene is very important metaphorically they showed us with that alternate D.E.N.N.I.S. system he gives us so.....they did that on purpose and drew attention to it

hello!! I'm not sure what's inspiring me to send this message, but I just wanted to tell you that a friend of mine (who has no previous knowledge/interest of mass effect) has heard me talk abt your stories enough that she wants to read them. I just sent over the link to the Opus series today, and I guess I just wanted you to know that your impact has spread beyond strictly fandom. I've sent a message before abt binding Fugue into a book for my personal collection, but I really just wanted you to know that the people in my life have heard abt my passion and love for your writing. I've even gotten two of my other friends to play Mass Effect bc of it!!!

Your writing has changed my life, as well as other's, and more than anything, I just want you to know that. The heart and care you've put into your works have not gone unnoticed, and I eagerly spread my love for your skill to whoever listens <3 your voice matters, your love matters, your stories matter, and, above all, YOU matter!! thank you for bringing such a wonderful, amazing, thoughtful story to life. I literally cannot overstate this enough-- you have changed lives with the stories you've written. you have impacted people. you have inspired people. and that includes me!! I truly hope you never stop writing bc you're so incredibly talented!

thank you for everything. every minute spent writing, every line edited, every ounce of effort you've put forth into the world. it hasn't gone unnoticed or unappreciated. <3

What an INCREDIBLE message to get. I'm speechless. This is pretty much every writer's dream.

Thank you so, so, so much for taking the time to tell me this. It means more than you will ever know.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
