Maybe it's because of the time in my life in which I was forced to watch it but I really fucking hate Devil Wears Prada.
Backstory: me, a 20-year-old with a life-threatening eating disorder, was living in a house with 5-8 other girls in the same condition (residential treatment center). Every weekend we had a house budget to go do various normal teen/young adult stuff. Often we'd spend the money on a trip to the movies, but the movie had to be approved by the staff.
That weekend in particular, we all voted to go see Crank, but the staff decided a movie about a guy seeking thrills so he wouldn't die of no adrenaline was too dangerous to expose a group of eating disordered teens/20-somethings to. They got us tickets for DWP instead.
When I say we tore them all a new one when we got home...
Sure let's send a group of vulnerable girls to see a movie about the fashion industry where one character is on an ice-cube and paper diet (guess how many of us had done that and were triggered beyond words) and another is constantly derided for being a size 4 (how many of us were crying at the thought of becoming that size) and is later praised for dropping to a 2??
Seeing our very real traumas played for laughs soured me forever on this movie. All us girls sat down and wrote a letter not only to the staff who had made us go, but to the producers of the movie themselves for somehow managing to both glorify and trivialize the very behaviors that we were trying to NOT let kill us.
A couple of us left the theater in fucking tears. We bitched about it for weeks. I am apparently still bitching about it after almost 2 decades (much better with regards to the eating disorder though, thankfully). Seriously what the fuck is this movie.
#not tagging the movie bc i don't want to start discourse but i very much needed to bitch after seeing it on my dash a bunch this week#thank you for letting me rant#tw ed#i miss those girls#we were such a squad#adding it to my filter list actually#i'm gonna improve my mental health if it kills me

as much as i hate horde prime i gotta admire how he showed up and humbled the fuck out of everyone. like SO many characters had an Oh Fuck moment where they realised there was so much more to everything than whatever feelings they had about the war on etheria. like he's the fucked up reason why catra and adora managed to rekindle their bond. and why glimmer was able to see she was wrong and apologise to the best friend squad. and the catalyst for glimmer and catra's friendship. and why hordak was able to realise he cared more about the genuine love he had from one person on etheria than anything else he'd ever achieved there. in conclusion I LOVE SEASON 5 YOU CAN PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS.
#like the fact that prime was a sheer cosmic threat is what had everyone uniting against him you love to see it#they all just stood up straight and were like okay nevermind we have to kill this guy#spop#she ra#entrapdak#entrapta#hordak#she ra and the princesses of power#shera#catra#adora#catradora#glimmer#glimbow#bow#bow spop#best friend squad#horde prime#horde clones

Cadets
(aka trash children, chaos children, and children who understand 98 is getting graded on this)
Inspired by @thefoundationproject! Closeups under the cut:
jesse got this pic from jangotat:
#star wars#tcw#soft wars#doodling in the soft wars sandbox#i think that'll be my tag for these things#alpha 6#commander fox#commander neyo#alpha 17#captain rex#commander wolffe#jangotat#commander doom#commander davijaan#(probably?)#shebse#edee#chekar#i may have messed up the ages oops#but hey we can pretend that the shebse found rex when he was a baby/toddler but he didn't officially join the squad until he was older!#hopefully i did 6's expression justice#against his better instincts he loves his trash children but he is also so so tired of fishing them out of the garbage#6 is grumpy as always; 98 is smug as always; and 17 is too busy getting bitten by a baby to have any other concerns at the moment#(he is about to have many more concerns)#wolffe climbed up 17s back to bite him while he was distracted with the tubie gnawing on his arm#specifically to bite 17s neck because he saw a video of an actual wolf taking down a space-deer and wanted to try it out#i just realized the alphas were still in training for most of the cadet-raising#poor 17 had to write strategy essays or whatever with four 10 yr olds competing to see who can provoke him the most#and a 6 yr old chomping on his ankles#not to mention 16 in the soft wars eu dealing with half of 44's squad on top of his own cadets and probably assorted shebse too

i know this gets said a lot so i'm just shouting into the same void as everyone else but whatever.
if you like someone's fic and you would like to read more of that person's fic, one of the best things you can do is appear in that person's inbox/dms/Ao3 comments etc and talk to them about it. what did you love about the fic? how did it make you feel? did you think the characters are being absolute idiots?
and if it's something that's being updated, the author will probably just ramble on at you for several hours about their fic! about where it's going and their understanding of the characters and their arcs and their headcanons for the plot. and they'll probably ask you what you think too!! and then you get to tell them those things!! basically what i'm saying is don't be shy.
if you do this enough, you become friends with the author and they'll terrorise you daily, so you know, be warned.
#writing#fanfiction#fanfic#fic#fic writing#archive of our own#ao3#this ramble bought to you by the several hours i spent today talking through fic with hangsamen#and also the weird feeling i had when i realised that this time last year i didnt know who they were and now we get to do that!#we get to talk about fic and lizards and pickles and cate blanchett (we contain multitudes) because of fic!!! bc of fandom!!!#create community guys its fucking amazing#as ever when i write i write for the squad#ccbds

rereading ch 106. love this sequence at the end here.
ninomiya asks mikumo to provide proof he knows what rinji's plans were. mikumo says he doesnt have physical proof but he can offer confirmation if you let him look at a map.
but then mikumo says he thinks hatohara had her own reasons for wanting to go to the neighborhood, and ninomiya just leaves!
he did NOT want to hear that. the funniest thing is he didnt even bother asking mikumo for the fucking proof.
#vera post#i see so much hatohara(&rinji) analysis that just doesn't question ninomiya's Extremely Biased takes on her motives??#as if they weren't called into question in the very chapter they were stated in#much LESS when we get the rest of her squad's takes in the pre-round 8 restaurant meetup#world trigger#ninomiya tag

i feeeeel like Bobby really missed the mark here and all three of them are missing the point and making it about them--like, they all lost in tryouts with no expectation or promise of fencing the season. They didn't make the team. Eugene was kicked off it. There's a bigger hurt and betrayal there that "we all wish we were fencing" completely ignores in a kinda shitty way
#jackshit#fence comic#eugene labao#bobby rodriguez#kally jenkins#tanner reed#fence challengers#fence challenges long shot#fence spoilers#fence long shot spoilers#eugene defense squad#like I don’t know man i was pissed at these three reading this because its not commiserating#its downplaying his hurt with 'oh we ALL hurt the same amount'#felt more like a reminder that he's not the only one not fencing than comfort to me#maybe im hyper sensitive because i love eugene#but deadass id be pissed if i were him#it feels dismissive af and like its about them instead of him#when he just got told he cant stand with the team he was told he was a part of

PSA: MSMC Contract Offer Guidelines
In light of the recent anonymous contract offers our fellow mercenaries at @corsair-mc-official have been receiving, Upper Management would like to remind its beneficiaries of the terms and regulations regarding the contract requirements of MSMC.
In compliance with Union policy, all would-be contractors offering jobs to the mercenary squadrons employed by MSMC must include the following information when submitting job offers:
Full name of the person(s) / organization / corporate entity / etc. submitting the job offer
Identification number of squadron(s) requested for deployment
Job description, which must include: deployment location(s), contract length, liability risks (defined here as "potential threats to the pilots, MSMC, or other parties as a result of undertaking this contract"), allied parties (if applicable), and pay grade
Specialized personnel / equipment requirements (if applicable)
Job offers submitted anonymously will be automatically rejected by MSMC, as they stand in direct violation of company policy as per the requirements listed above.
Furthermore, any job offers which list active war zones or otherwise contested territories as areas of deployment (including but not limited to: the Dawnline Shore, Free Sanjak, New Madrassa, and the Karrakin Trade Baronies) are subject to immediate rejection at MSMC's discretion. Would-be contractors should be advised that they may be contacted through private channels to further clarify the services requested of MSMC's mercenaries in these locations and ensure their job offers are in compliance with Union policy.
MSMC would also like to remind its pilots that any suspicious job offers should be rejected and reported to Upper Management, so that their sources may be traced for questioning and appropriate legal action may be taken (if necessary).
In the event of a squadron accepting an illegal contract, all liability for injury, damages, and death becomes the full responsibility of the squadron(s) contracted for the job, as per the updated MSMC guidelines. MSMC takes full legal responsibility for all pilots under its employ, but it will not be held liable if if its assets are damaged, defamed, or otherwise imperiled by illegal contracts.
MSMC would like to thank all parties for their compliance with these guidelines, and looks forward to receiving your submissions.
-- Upper Management
#lancer rpg#lancer ttrpg#lancerrpg#// in case you were wondering why MSMC didn't help us out more in the wake of the Fireman Saga - here you go#// long story short - what Kennedi did was considered an illegal contract; hence why our squad took full liability for the consequences#// the folks in Legal take their jobs very seriously - us mercs can't go running around doing whatever because it makes MSMC look bad#// we might be a big name in the merc business but given how much grayspace MSMC operates under we're under constant scrutiny from Union#// gotta keep the truly illegal shit to a minimum or else the entire company might go under if Union (or its enemies) decide to investigate

The best thing about Yami as a character is the fact that he has secrets, not out of a desire to keep people in the dark or a sense of shame for his past.
But because he probably doesn’t think to let people know stuff about him.
The audience is consistently shown that Yami has connections to people and none of the Bulls are made remotely aware of it.
Lotus reveals he had an encounter with Yami and Luck’s response is to ask “you know the captain?” Not say “The captain’s mentioned a guy like you before.” Safe to say that Yami doesn’t even boast about his past battle victories.
Henry’s existence, despite the Bulls living in Henry’s house, is a surprise as the squad thought he was a ghost at first. It’s honestly silliest case since how does a group go 6-7 years without meeting their (essentially) landlord?
Zora’s status as a Bull comes as a shock to Asta, Noelle, and Luck at the gathering of the Royal Knights. And none of the Bulls recognized him at the exam so he never showed himself earlier and Yami likely didn’t talk about him even to describe his looks.
Nacht being vice captain, the fact that the squad had a vice captain at all to top it off, was a bombshell to Asta but also long standing members like Finral and Vanessa.
There’s also the fact that Yami has a sister back home which Asta was floored by. (Note that Yami outright lied about being born to fishermen but he just quietly omitted Ichika’s existence in his recounting of his life.)
The details of Yami’s history and relationships are a mystery to the whole squad. It’s not done maliciously by any means. Yami comes off as the type to think “they’ll find out eventually so no need to tell them now.” And leaves it up to fate whether or not anyone learns anything about his past.
Also, literally every time, those reveals happen at some wildly inconvenient times. It’s either in the middle of a fight or when everyone is stressing about an upcoming battle or after Yami’s been freaking kidnapped.
#black clover#yami sukehiro#if Yami recounts his early days in clover#the same way he tells it to Patry in that one cave#that means he leaves out any mention of Julius and the Fausts being kind to him#so imagine the bulls’ utter shock when they learn that Yami had friends before forming the squad#‘what do you mean you befriended two nobles years ago?!’#‘we thought you were totally alone until you formed the squad!’#‘I didn’t think it was important to bring them up’#and now I’m imagining Yami retiring at some point#and forgetting to tell his kids he was a magic knight#so they come kicking down his door demanding and explanation
