Sometimes I think about how Reyna only ever got her best friend back in a box and even in death going back to New Rome wasn’t Jason’s choice and I want to start hurling things at a wall

[ender1821]

[shalom-iamcominghome]

When the moshaich comes, could they PLEASE teach people specifically in the United States how to actually drive? I'm tired of being in near accidents because american drivers are bad 😭😭😭

[shmorp-mcdurgen]

Figured i'd start actually. slowly reintroducing the new monster au turned oc project by first posting the new character names!

Mark -> Markus Adrianne Addams (Mark/Chris) Cesar -> Martin Garcia Sarah -> Amber Addams (Ace) Thatcher -> Jackson Hyde (Jack) Ruth -> Mabel Palmer Dave -> Barney Holmes Evelin -> Olivia Davis (Liv) Jonah -> Aaron Jones (AJ)

Another thing I wanted to introduce, this universe from now on will be referred to as Whispers of Willows!

[cathymee]

maybe it's to maintain a sense of tension & turmoil that would eventually reach an explosive peak, a sense of tug-of-war, a back-and-forth to hammer home the ideals they want to deliver and for the viewers to chew on, but although these arguments regarding hiroshi & his stance as a man torn between his loyalty for his country & the loyalty for his Filipino friends and lover is of course important, how they write these scenes & the points they present from this week alone is getting too repetitive...? literally the argument scenes from last night & tonight between adelina & hiroshi is basically the same; the ideas were the same, the dynamics were the same: the aggressive, radical adelina, bristling rage and fear over the injustices she's seen thus far, and the cautious, inspiriting hiroshi, all hopefulness and reassurance one moment as a lover, defensiveness and sternness as a japanese soldier in another. this debate will be ever-present ofc, it is one of the series' biggest conflicts, but it is unfortunately so easy to tell when it is a.) being pulled up as a main topic to move the plot along / be a necessary conflict for character development/introspection / be the conflict to deliver the morals & messages the writers want to send to their viewers, or b.) when it is being pulled up only for the drama and filler to pass the time. like watching the characters sit down to argue for 10 minutes, do other things for the plot for 2 minutes, then sit down again to argue for the next 20 minutes. lol.

Love posting my Spotify receipts for the month bc you can always tell when I’ve had smth big to write for one of my classes bc the one Jash song (Dream (Outro from Calamity)) will make the receipt. I did not end up a Jashinator but I do like having a song I can rely on to make me write things.

Choking Part 3

Read more here: 1 2

Summary: Dustin thinks Eddie and Steve are acting a little strange. Just a small baby snippet with Dustin’s pov

CW: Dustin being nosy, as usual, Forcing oneself to talk while nonverbal (not said but implied)

It had taken Dustin a whole week of chores to convince his mom to let him go with Steve and Eddie, even then she just thinks they are going to some dinosaur museum.

How old does she think he is? Dinosaurs are such a middle school thing to be excited about.

Plus, after fighting freaky mind creatures, he has yet to be surprised by a new discovery.

So here he is, waiting on the porch for them to pick him up.

He pushes up his sleeve slightly, checking the time, 8:20.

So twenty minutes late.

He isn’t usually surprised when Eddie is late but this? This is the performance of the lifetime. He’d expect him to be early! Dustin was so excited he almost worked himself into a panic attack! And for what?!

Goddamnit they better get here.

Wait- what if they’re hurt? He just sitting here! He should go see-

Steve’s Beemer pulls around the corner of his street, calming his mind.

He can make out Eddie in the driver's seat just by his messy hair. Weird, Steve never lets anyone else drive it.

He lifted his hand in a wave to Eddie in the window.

He grabs his bag and rushes down the front steps. Mentally cursing himself when he notices his shoes are untied and he almost trips.

But slick as always, he saves himself just before eating dirt.

He opens up the back door, “What took so long?” He rushes out just as he shoves himself inside. Trying to ignore the fact that Steve and Eddie most definitely saw him frail around.

He looked toward Steve in the passenger for an answer but when noticing his sullen expression, it was like the air got thick, the atmosphere tense. He gaped for a moment before his eyes were darting to Eddie and then back to Steve. He goes to close the car door, slowly like he was trying not to scare off a stray cat.

“What? No hello?” Eddie joked, he could clearly tell he was trying to cover up what was going on. Eddie put his hand on Steve’s thigh, smiling. A reflection that seemed foreign on Eddies face, the smile missing his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes at Eddie before turning to Steve but when he looked at him, he yelled- “What the fuck!” Why isn’t he saying anything? “What happened?” He yelled once more, for good measure, obviously.

“Nothing Dustin, Just tired.” Steve answered him, his sentence choppy. It reminds him of El when he first met her. Huh.

And when Steve’s eyes truly met his, just by a look Dustin could tell some kind of enteral battle was going on in that noggin of his.

He looked back at Eddie who has been glaring at Steve like Dustin couldn’t tell.

Ah,

So a lovers quarrel. That he could fix.

Easier said then done.

ngl i will be really disappointed if they do a full time jump and buck is still with natalia. like i wish they wouldn't keep skipping the beginning stages of buck's relationships, which they basically did with both taylor and ali (though we at least knew more about who taylor was before they got together and they were semi-friends already).

i'm thinking they may not do a full jump though, do like they did for s4 which started late too

The thing is, we are already living in a liminal space of time jumps when it comes to Buck and Natalia specifically, because it's implied that the birth happens right after the bridge and the meditation on the roof has to be happening some place in the future (at least 6 weeks considering Eddie is back and he had broken ribs and Chim is coming back) so either way we won't see the beginning stages of the relationship, that already passed. I hope there isn't a full 8 months to a year time jump, because that's a lot of time and it changes all the dynamics, a relationship that's a few months old is very different from a year long one. My expectation is for them to pick it up right after the meditation, just pretend it was the usual amount of time between seasons, because yeah, I feel like throwing Buck into a 6 month to a year long relationship without showing it to us will make it even harder for people to find things they like in Natalia and the relationship, and a lot of people are already against them to begin with, so it would be a delicate thing to navigate if they choose to keep her for the long run. And I think that skipping the part where Buck gets to know her is skipping the part we get to know her, so we will give even less to the relationship. I don't really think they have a fighting chance, not unless they do some serious work on her character and actually make her exist outside of Buck, but just dropping us a year in the future and telling us "the relationship works yay" without showing us how they got there will seriously doom them. Taylor was bad, but Taylor existed for us, Natalia is beautiful girl who works with death, that's all I can think of when I think about her, to just skip it to a part where they are established and working would make it a relationship impossible to care about, because we invested nothing on it. So I'm hoping there's no big time jump at all.

every so often I discover new things I'm unhappy with about the Sandman adaptation and each one is pettier than the last

what do you MEAN the word battle is between Dream and Lucifer? no it's NOT. it's between Dream and Choronzon who's acting on Beelzebub's behalf it's about the petty politics of Hell which is in large part what Lucifer finds so tiresome.

also why does Dream have human eyes give that bitch some contacts or Something

today during work orientation a masc lesbian came up to me like 6 hours after we had done introductions and asked me why i clarified that i use she/her pronouns because “it’s sort of very obvious”

[lone-starlight]

hey star hang on what the fuck are you doing

do not do this. please do not impulse do what i think you're doing

-C

Well, I've thought about it and... I'm not going to Showfall. It's... it's not worth it.

But... I can't stay so far away from it all anymore, Charlie. I feel fucking useless with everything going on and I can't do a damn thing except. Talk. I... I need to help.

Besides, I'm like. Eight hours away from home at this point. I don't think there's any turning back now lol

[spacecrows]

(Okay, so I'm almost halfway through Translation State and I just... why do these three make me feel so much?! I need someone to talk to about this but no one in my life is reading it (yet), so, welp, here we go)

There is just something about the way Reet just lives his life feeling like there is something so deeply wrong with him & like he never fits in with anyone & how he admires Enae for hir social skills (we love a neurodivergent king)

While Enae (my child adult) - for whom it was a necessity to grow these antennae to feel out everyone's moods before they even enter the room and to act accordingly - is maybe just a little too good at keeping hir cards close to hir chest and fitting in and acting in precisely the way others expect of hir... (although sie's learning and growing and all that, but that's a whole different post)

But Enae doesn't seem to mind Reet's mannerisms and actually appreciates him being unable to do anything but speak his mind

and we don't get much of Reet's reaction here but just- my heart 😭😵‍💫😖💞 (screaming, crying, throwing up, etc)

[*insert "I've only had Enae, Reet and Qven for 1 week, but if anything happened to them I would kill everyone in this room and then myself" meme here* *side eyes AL who surely wouldn't dream of harming any of my children*]

[spamtoon]

(Out of nowhere, you are approached by a familiar lightbulb-headed Cog.)

Ah, it's you, cat. Thinking you're oh-so-slick. Muttering and whispering under those raggedy whiskers of yours... Thinking I am unable to hear it all...

Well, you've simply underestimated my fantastic hearing. You probably want to know the reason why I'm here, taking a 'break' from my incredibly important scientific breakthroughs? It's quite simple, really!

(She gets close, and squints her eyes.)

I know what you are.

Farewell, now!

(She then leaves the way she came from.)

(Spam giggles immensely, covering her face... it always seems like she's giggling, isn't she? This lasts... at least thirty seconds. Longer than usual.)

And I know what I am too, Sparky! You broke through something, that's for sure. Really, broke through...

(She looks down, continuing to laugh nervously.)

You know, I find it odd you Havent tried to bulb blast me into the stratosphere by now. I mean knowing how you acted with Frostbite. Is there something peculiar about me that you perhaps can't quite track? Something about me that you... don't know what I am?

I know, I know, I'm talking to nobody again. But you were there when I had a moment today with the one the only Frostbite The Bravecog. You may be remaining. Lurking in the shadows. Knowing about these thoughts that I'm thinking.

(The giggling resumes, lasting far shorter this time.)

Your brother's a piece of fucking barp, by the way

(She braces for impact for a few seconds, wincing while smiling, before comically looking around to realize nobody's there. She sighs.)

Wow, okay maybe toony superhero show logic doesn't apply in this situation. Cool.

WAIT I JUST FUCKING REALIZED WHAT SHE MEANT but like. Dude if she meant that then what's the point I mean the whole ahh sellbot department barping knows unless you're Really low on the ladder. Heheh... maybe she did mean what I thought she meant.

Oh i'm so fucking screwed. What kind of bitch gets filament fever

[wutheringmights]

what is wars diagnosed with. I know he has them I just don't know which ones.

I would prefer if we didn't pathologize Warriors
