Prev’s tags are too interesting to lose
Also it’s not just tv; it’s movies too I think. Live action American sci-fi/action movies to be specific. I can only think of a couple made since streaming got big that I felt like I actually knew who the characters were, and liked them, and felt like they actually cared about each other. Other genres have this problem too (comedy comes to mind), but none so extreme as in action and sci-fi. Feels like lately it’s all just rewrites of the same script but with different set dressing and they forget that you also have to have characters, not just a half a concept and a tired plot with cgi sprinkles.
I know the characters’ names and maybe a motive if I’m lucky and that’s it. Then one of em dies or is kidnapped or whatever and the other characters are so heartbroken and like… did they even know each other? Cause they met like a day ago and haven’t had a single conversation longer than a couple minutes, and they only talked about Plot Things.
There are some standouts obviously, The Equaliser series comes to mind, but it’s the exception, not the norm
I don't know what those '90s sci Fi TV writers were putting in their shows but I wish they'd start doing it again
#I don’t really watch a ton of tv#but I rewatch shows A LOT#mainly ones from the 2000’s and 2010’s#ATLA and The Librarians are my favs but I also rewatch Castle and the Ziva seasons of NCIS a lot#and the latter two tend not to have filler episodes per day but they do have eps that focus more on the B-plots compared to usual#but like…. I’ve *tried* to get into more modern shows#trust me I TRIED#but they’re just so fucking serious about everything#it makes it hard to like any of the characters#like okay but when are you gonna tell me about yourself#oh nooo they have a tragic backstory and/or a job#cool but what do you do for fun? what Str your hobbies? what are you like when the world isn’t ending?#and for the love of GOD just fucking talk to someone about something that isn’t plotty#character A will be kidnapped and character B reacts like someone killed a dog in front of them#and I’m sitting there like ‘since when are you friends????’#I think that anime does a better job at capturing what used to make tv fun and good and enjoyable#while still having more variety in length#for example: Sk8 the infinity is short enough to watch in one sitting and still get groceries the same day#toilet bound hanako kun is a bit longer but still short#my hero academia is long#one piece is scary and probably a bigger file size than most video games in its entirety#the first two examples are also things I rewatch constantly (BNHA used to be but lately I’ve been not as obsessed)#and I’d like to say that movies aren’t exempt from this problem either#one could argue that the length makes it hard to flesh out relationships while still having a strong plot and I’d like to raise you:#animation.#some examples of movies that make me believe these people are friends:#rise of the guardians; SpiderMan: spiderverse (both movies); all the how to train your dragon movies; and more#but I’d be hard pressed to list many live action American movies off the top of my head; especially any made after streaming got popular#like yes there are a lot but compared to the vast number of movies being made?#especially action and sci-fi movies

May I propose: Phastle In The Sky
Tumblr media
(I drew over a screen cap and refined my sketch don’t freak out, it was just a silly idea I really wanted to share)
Now I know we all love Phil‘s passenger princess-vibes but I also advocate for the deeply haunted part of Dan that makes for great plot and in this essay I will-

(Have my sketch too bc I really enjoy looking at it look how cute they are)

“Okay, let me explain...
I was reading what you said about your sona (thanks for answering by the way!) and as I took a minute to comprehend it being "canonically" really small, I just thought it was a bit funny how I look up you you in a way — to the point I still get nervous to write to you directly like this — when I imagine you as that really small character. Even more so because my sona is a whitetail doe, and therefore I get this image of a deer getting all excited and nervous in front of an animal not even, like, 1/4 of its size. I don't know, I just thought it was a silly idea, juxtaposing how it feels to me to interact with you versus how it would look playing out in our sonas with such a drastic size difference, and I wanted to visualize it!
Oh, and because I'm in a drawing mood but need an idea, and animal characters are my specialty! I really hope I depicted your character alright!"
______
THIS IS A SUBMISSION!! Art and submission from the wonderful @amerricanartwork! I am so sorry I basically had to repost it, I'm just thankful Tumblr let me at least save the image, I had written an entire reply before the website broke and sent this wonderful message to the doom dimension. It keeps giving me errors.
Which is SUCH a shame, because I love this! So so much.
First of all I don't think you or anybody should be nervous of me oh my goodness. Your impression of me being big and scary just to realize I'm a 30 cm dog is hilarious and matches the vibe of my sonas design I won't lie haha. I'm genuinely just some little guy like I'm just some person online doing stuff for fun. That's definitely not someone anyone should be intimidated by ^^
This means so so much to me!! AUUGH I just lack the words, the fact you took time of your day to write and make art for me really does mean the world to me I always greatly treasure and save messages like these. I'm extremely flattered.

Ok so i actually started typesetting crimson rivers, any typesets that i make do not expect them to be perfect at all😭 i try to make them good but i really am just copy and pasting and then like doing font stuff! I’ve done chapters 1-24 (which is volume 1 with around 700 pages) and im planning on doing volume 2 today! I don’t think it’ll take me as long as i thought it would so hopefully I’ll have it done by Sunday!
I made the covers that I’ll be using for my books they’re not perfect by any means but i like them enough 🥱

I think that there’ll be 4 total books, the fonts is pretty small compared to my ahb typesets but i don’t think it’s THAAT small, its size 10, and i think i used 12 or 13 for ahb
Anyways, lmk what you think about them I’m not fully set on them so i might make a few edits <3

Why don't you just leave phil? Who cares if the ankle monitor snitches on you, they're treating you awfully!!! >:O
I don’t want to lead them to Techno. dunno what they have planned for him but i’m pretty sure it’s not good. Probably best that i stay here, maybe try and tip techno off if i find anything more out

More Character appearances?
If I will be honest, we have met the whole gang right now! There is only one more character that will appear which will be a whole plot point by himself as he is detrimental to the character development of another character. The only problem is he is scheduled to be introduced around chapter... 63...
Of course, the other brothers will appear too! But at the end as well. I wasn't lying in the very first chapter about how there will only be 3 present brothers.
If this is about appearances of the already introduced, don't worry, in the coming chapters everybody is going to be very present soon~
You specifically mentioned Thirteen in this. I am afraid at the time of writing the original storyline of this fic I was not the biggest 13 fan. Hence her appearance was more of a… cameo(chap 10). Right now I will admit there aren't any plans for her appearing again. If I knew how much she would have grown on me a year later I would have included her more!

Incoming rant about demily and the CM writers, but what I want to know- what I’ve always wanted to know- is whyyyy did they make them the ✨partners✨ especially during the Doyle arc? Why did they pair up Prentiss with Morgan constantly and not Reid, Hotch, or Rossi. Why was Derek the one to bond with Emily about Kurt Vonnegut soon after her arrival? I’m pretty sure Reid would have understood the reference.
Why did Emily tell Derek that he’s a good person in 2.22? Why was Emily the one Derek told that he had properties? Whyyyy did they have those very non-platonic and non-sibling like deleted scenes?? Why were they ever written and why were they deleted? (I know the Vonnegut plane one was bc of Reid’s storyline, but still it was put into place). Then you had the sin to win thing, Derek’s reaction to her hot tub date, when he didn’t leave her side after she got hurt in 5.11, etc etc
Can someone please tell me and confirm that demily was very much on the road to being The couple on the show, even if it was just a hook up, an occasional FWB thing- they planted the seeds. And then it was like bc it never happened/could have they had Derek and Emily be the main partnership on the show because why else did they have Derek be the one to hold a dying Prentiss and be most affected by her (non) death??
Cause I will never be convinced this was just some random consistent pairing that was platonic or sibling-like
