if you ever feel stupid please remember that there's people out there who think that there's "queerbaiting" in DEAD BOY DETECTIVES
#the show with MULTIPLE on-screen queer kisses#MULTIPLE canonically queer characters#Edwin. Jenny. Monty. Maxine. The Cat King#all of these people have explicitly been attracted to someone of the same gender#KISSED someone of the same gender#oh Simon too forgot about that little shit#what “bait” are you on about#is it purely because Charles said he doesn't entirely reciprocate Edwin's feelings?? that doesn't make Edwin ANY less gay!!#ace's random thoughts :)#dead boy detectives#dbda

i cant believe sethos is debuting on a haitham banner!!
#haino#cytham#thats strike two for sethos if youre keeping track#of sethos trying to bait this friend group into doubting each other#but theyre all just really sincere nice people who lift each other up and want whats best for each other#when you hear your friend talking about you behind your back but he only has nice things to say#and you fall in love like the fifth time that day#alhaitham and sethos can bond over fighting cyno and also being a little obsessed with cyno after fighting him

The people who said that Grian and Scar have teamed too much in the Life Series are delusional I think.
Let’s look at the number of times that the two have actually teamed together:
1. Third Life
2. Double Life (out of their control)
…
…that’s literally it. The two didn’t team in Last Life, didn’t team in Limited Life, and didn’t team in Secret Life.
I know they also teamed in Real Life but that was essentially a gag episode so, it doesn’t really count in this as I’m talking about full 6+ episode series.
THEY HAVE ONLY BEEN TEAMED FOR 2/5 SEASONS.
#life series#third life#last life#double life#limited life#secret life#grian#gtws#goodtimeswithscar#gtwscar#desert duo#those accusations originated from genuine delusion bc what#are you actually listening to what you’re saying???#just because people talk about them and they are popular doesn’t mean they’ve teamed every game#you look at people like Tango and Skizz who teamed four times in a row#and nothing#(though im not holding that against them in the slightest)#it’s just odd#like say you want to hate for no reason other than to bait and fuck off#trafficblr#traffic smp

The CIA is trying to kill Danny
Now hear me out.
I stumbled upon this prompt idea where somebody wrote that they want to see a story where the CIA is trying to kill Clark Kent (not Superman, reporter Clark Kent), the reason is because that Clark Kent is a very good reporter. And everybody knows that a mark of a good reporter is that they die of natural causes, with bullets in their head. So that story would have centered around the CIA trying to kill Clark Kent and having no idea on how Clark Kent is still alive after the multiple attempts on his life.
Now this got me thinking.
In an AU where Danny is interning or working at the Daily Planet, probably under Clark or Lois.(you choose) And Danny is a really good reporter, his ghost powers help him gather information undetected. He's exposing corporations left and right, all ranging from either illegal animal experimentation, environmental pollution, horrible working conditions, toss in a couple of sleazy terrible rich people. So while all of his stuff is getting published and the govt is going, "we gotta stop that reporter." And proceed to constantly try to end this kid's life with no result. They try to poison food, Danny grew up eating radioactive food, if anything the poison is just added seasoning. They try to set up his place on fire, Danny's just conveniently not there. They try to have people tail him but they can't because Danny just disappears whenever he turns a corner.
And layers could be added to this, like Danny's just talking to Clark at work (y'know water cooler talk) and when Danny brings up all of these strange things happening to him like "people following him, the elevator at his place just conveniently broke down and crashed into the ground around the time he would have left for work, or how his usual food orders look a bit different than what they normally look like and they taste slightly different." And Clark is hearing all of this and is going "wait a minute!" and there's a scene of Clark walking with Danny as the kid is waiting for his uber and when the car pulls up. Clark uses his x-ray vision and spots the driver sporting guns, knives, poison gas (whatever CIA agents use for assassinations, I don't know) and just goes "Hey Danny did I ever take you to my favorite diner. No? GREAT! Let's go now!" and he just immediately drags Danny away from the murder car. And from that point on, Clark is taken it upon himself to stop all of the assassination attempts on Danny because he believes that Danny is a fragile young human being.
OR
This could be set in Gotham
And Danny is just exposing all of elites of Gotham, including Gotham's rogues and all of that song and dance. Which then leads him to be targeted by the Court of OWLS! Danny in this scenario would be friends with Tim, because they go to the same coffee shop and order the espresso on steroids drink. Danny tells him all of the stuff that's been happening to him and Tim goes "oh shit." In which he then tells the batsiblings. They all band together to protect Danny because he is a normal human being. (said nobody ever) So Danny becomes unofficially adopted by them. They don't tell Bruce about this because then they'll have to come to terms that they are just like him because they just took in a black haired blue eyed kid into their family.
#dp x dc au#dpxdc#dp x batman#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc au#batfamily#clark kent#danny fenton#dp x dc#dp x dc prompt#either way you think about#Danny is going to be adopted by a family no matter what#danny is adoption bait for the DC universe honestly#like he's prime real estate for kid being adopted

Due to a lot of feedback on the nature of this blog, and how the meme format can come across as insensitive and shameless, I'm considering switching to a news only post format, without the use of the destiel meme. I greatly enjoy sharing information about current events, and would like to continue doing so in some way.
So I am making this poll to ask everyone their opinion on the way I do things, and for suggestions to improve my content.
#not news#feel free to make suggestions in the comments or just yell at me anonymously#i really do enjoy reading about what's happening in the world and sharing that information with others#i mainly used the meme format to force people to read the headlines#but i don't want to make rage bait or anything like that. i honestly want to help inform people#in a time when misinformation across social media is at an all time high#so please! vote! tell me what you think! if i do reform the blog i'll still keep up all my destiel meme posts of course#and i may make a throwback destiel meme every now and then#so let me know!#probably shoulda made this just a 24 hour poll in hindsight but oh well. i'll keep news posting until the results are in and go from there

#wind waker#loz#zelda#beedle#linktober#link#aquanutart#day 1: merchant#i really liked beedle in the wind waker he just always seemed so genuinely enthusiastic and happy to see you#i thought his compliment card was hilarious. i always bought a lot of bait anyway to complete my sea chart#and because i liked messing around as a bird i guess i'd buy hyoi pears; so i always racked up enough points without really trying#however i wasn't a fan of what they did with his character in games after that. he became pressuring and insincere#i understand why people would find a two-faced salesman character funny or interesting in his own right#but it's the opposite of what i originally liked about him#unfortunately this makes me question whether it was meant that way to begin with?#i don't know but i like to believe wind waker beedle actually meant his enthusiasm#back when ww beedle was the only beedle i always meant to show appreciation for him so i'm doing that now

Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --
That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:
This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:
These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.
Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.
#em.txt#security breach#fnaf sb#vanny#vannessa#okay but you can read more into this. tightrope acts are almost always associated with circus performances#& we know afton enjoyed himself a circus themeing -- made the whole circus baby peanut gallery & he was also a massive clown#see he's like molding her into one of his performers where he is the ring leader calling the shots#& she is the tightrope walker that the crowd watches with baited breath to see if she falls or makes it across#tightrope walking has also been associated with walking a line between two different worlds or extremes#so on one end she wants to obey afton & comply in killing & on the other she wants to hold onto her life as it was#& she's in the middle trying to not step too far to either side or else she's gonna fall & there is no safety net for her#there's also like. in ruin the vanni mask obscures reality. the vr world is completely different.#if vanny's mask has that tech in it then she's constantly stuck in vr. to her it may actually not look like#stable ground. it may look like she's miles up in the air about to fall. because that's what the glitch needs her to see#because if she saw that wherever she next planted her food foot was safe stable ground she might not be so anxious to keep on#moving down this path#wait hold on is this all an optical illusion & I'm seeing it wrong is it the angle#IT'S TOO LATE THE POST IS MADE HIT POST#did i just pull a matpat misread a minor detail & extrapolate unintended overly detailed info#that is inherently untrue bc the detail it's based on isn't there/is incorrect?#see this is why the game theory channel should have gone to me i can do this matpat bullhonkus no prob bob!

The X trilogy + "psycho-biddy" influences
#x 2022#pearl#maxxxine#x series#strait-jacket#psycho#what ever happened to baby jane#horror#psycho-biddy#hagsploitation#made this whole big thing which i still might post eventually but. in terms of aesthetics. this abridged version is better lol#i'm not gonna finish the other post tonight but consider this a preview of sorts#i can't stop thinking about what if they leaned more into the 'hagsploitation' aspect of it all lol#i actually find it odd + off-putting that they start and end maxxxine with a bette davis reference#with a big significant psycho cameo at the bates motel itself#and there's not really any payoff for those allusions!!#i think if you're gonna try to tie into a legacy of older horror films you should do it in a sincere way#because that just felt like 'elevated horror' bonus points + nostalgia bait#anyway. it's fun to think about the potential it had + how all the building blocks exist within the narrative to do something interesting#and i am a 1960s hagsploitation subgenre apologist lol#what ever happened to baby jane? changed my brain chemistry the first time i watched it as a kid#so maybe i'm just nostalgia baiting myself making these connections lmao#but it could have been so good#it could have been the perfect synthesis of the shared themes across all three movies#but i don't think hagsploitation gets butts in movie theater seats like girlboss 80s nostalgia vaguely true crime related shit#oh wait also i guess calling psycho a hagsploitation movie is like. probably not 100% accurate#but it is though. it's not an inversion of the subgenre bc the subgenre didn't exist yet#but it builds up a mystery 'psycho-biddy' character only to reveal that she's not the murderer#which is also what happens in strait-jacket so i think it counts!!#+ psycho is directly referenced in all 3 movies so it’s a pretty clear influence on the trilogy as a whole

no offense but i genuinely fear that their potential dynamic will go severely underutilized
#rick and morty#morty smith#prime rick#my biggest fear continues to be 'morty gets kidnapped by prime to bait c137'#because i think it could just. be so much more neat if morty and prime actually formed some kind of relationship independently. good OR bad#like idk imagine if morty is coaxed to join primes side out of some misguided attempt to protect his family#would sure be fitting for a character that clearly values his family and their safety idk!!!#and like. god imagine what morty mighjt think of prime#like he currently only has rick's perspective of prime. and obviously whether he wants to or not he sort of Has to rely on what rick says#idk imagine morty meets prime and hes like damn this dude is pretty cool. whether its because prime is putting on a deliberate act#or morty just Genuinely Thinks he's cool#ohhhhhhh imagine this is how they bring the morty mindwipe thing back.#prime would b like 'did you know c137 left the parts of you that disagree with him in a video game? isnt that fucked up morty'#theres just so much TO DOOO and im so terrified of NONE of this happening#bcs the writers seem to be physically incapable of prioritizing anyone but rick#LIKE GOD PLEASEEEE i know they only care abt the redditor audience BUT PLEASE do something ANYTHING with morty im about to start crying#went on a little rant lol sorry. can you tell i really like morty.

Jc stans: Jiang Cheng should have adopted A-Yuan, he would have been a great uncle to the kid!
People who read: Jiang Cheng would have killed A-Yuan had he been given the chance. He is said to have “no love in him” the moment lovable A-Yuan runs to greet him. He tells Wei Wuxian to return A-Yuan and the rest of the Wen remnants to the labor camps, with his “mercy” being that he’ll turn a blind eye if Wei Wuxian decides to sneak a few away. After Wei Wuxian refuses, he leads a siege that kills all of the Wen remnants. A-Yuan escapes the same fate only because his loved ones successfully hid him away beforehand. Even if A-Yuan was somehow not a Wen, Jiang Cheng hates everything associated with Wei Wuxian, as well. He tortures random people who remind him of his former martial brother, and he tears down the building in Lotus Pier that used to hold Wei Wuxian’s room. And finally, Jiang Cheng is an abusive guardian to Jin Ling, his only living blood relative. He would never adopt A-Yuan.
Jc stans: Welll! Well! Did you ever think about how Wei Wuxian uses the resentment of CHILDREN for revenge?!?!? Sounds pretty demented to me 😤
#canon jiang cheng#that one jc stan: we are definitely in the canon tag for friendly doscourse about jc!#what i have seen since then: jc stans making multiple spam accounts to spam ai art and untagged promotionals of jc#jc stans stalking and screenshotting blogs to talk shit#jc stans making antagonistic posts to bait people#and now: jc stans shitting on wangxian without actually discussing jc except to drop a mention#still looking for that ‘friendly discussion’ on jc’s ‘canon positive characteristics’#when consensus seems to be ‘yeah jc may suck but have you considered that wangxian is WORSE?!?!’

I understand that people worry about queerbait but when I see complaints about it for the venom movies I just feel confused.
....Its already canon. How can they be baiting something that's already canon? Idk.
#I guess the problem of how much content is shown could be bait#but idk#like we already know it's canon they had that whole gay rave scene#and the entire ending on the beach#like what do you mean 'they better make it canon' what about it isn't canon#venom#venom movies#venom 3#venom the last dance#symbrock
