the best parts of MV continue to be the moments where they have the extremely iconic masculine characters both question and defy toxic masculine norms. for example,

both Rico and Sonny show compassion and sometimes even affection for each other

both Rico and Sonny show it's okay to cry and be vulnerable, and that you shouldn't be mocked for it

both Rico and Sonny treat sex workers as fellow human beings who deserve respect and protection (sidenote: i think the undercover cops relate to the hookers because both jobs require putting on a persona under potentially dangerous circumstances)

Sonny regrets not backing up a friend who came out as gay because he was young and didn't know what to do

Sonny regrets not standing up for a high school classmate who was sexually assaulted and then demeaned behind her back, again because he was young and didn't know what to do

Sonny barely holds back his rage against a man who emotionally abuses his wife

Sonny barely holds back his rage against all abusers, including the couple who exploited a 13yo runaway for their own benefit

Sonny does, for the most part, hold back his rage or seek counsel from a male friend to calm him down (his anger issues needed more attention in the writing imo)

Rico approaches difficult circumstances with calm compassion and a positive mental attitude

Rico makes it clear it is never okay for an adult man to have a sexual interest in teenage girls even when they are asking for it

Rico also makes it clear that a hypersexual teenage girl does not deserve less respect for acting that way

Sonny is continuously nonplussed by LGBTQ people, treating them as equals, and rolling his eyes at cishet who don't like it

Sonny is emotionally devastated over every teenage boy who doesn't make it out of a bad situation

Castillo is gentler with female officers, female victims, and is proud of his wife for marrying again and finding happiness

actually, the biggest deal to me is this reoccuring theme of "forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time."

For instance, Sonny doesn't seem to know how to handle Gina's rape, but in a later season when she is avidly hunting down a friend's rapist Sonny jumps at the opportunity to chase the man down and be extra aggressive. Then in other instances where sexual assault is a topic, Sonny has stronger opinions and stronger reactions. So part of his character is that he learns, but it's usually the hard way and he tends to overcorrect.

#this exchange is really heartbreaking to me and a great example as to why i think gina is more complex than she’s often given credit for #her vulnerability and her desire for love without strings attached really show why she is the way that she is for better and for worse #vanessa marcil really seems to understand her character and though i've said it before it bears repeating that she is a fantastic actor #am i saying this because i have been in gina's shoes in the past and even years later it still stings? maybe #but the fact that she can connect with me in so directly in such a brief scene makes her one of my favourite characters/actors on the show #beverly hills 90210 #gina kincaid #vanessa marcil #90s #season 10

Feng is not my favorite Undead Unluck character but I think if he just outright came out and said anything even remotely close to "I need to kiss Fuuko right now or I'll die" I just don't think anyone would be able to compete

...Actually I think if any character other than Andy explicitly says they want to kiss Fuuko their numbers are gonna go way up for me

Make that girl poly

ricky encouraging jet and being supportive of him despite his being standoffish and gina defending maddox and saying there’s nothing wrong with how she acts... they’re so real <3

#hsmtmts #gina porter #ricky bowen #ricky talking about how he sees his past self in jet... #gina having a version of herself referred to in the derogatory and not agreeing that someone else has to tone themselves down 😌 #rina number one outsider supporters #just good kids #i def hope gina/maddox get more scenes now lol.

okay I'll say it. richard bowen is overrated as fuck

#hsmtmts #sorry mutuals i know you love him #and i like him too he just. there are so many better characters #and he gets everything spoonfed to him #and his stans can be so annoying with the nini/ej hate #he's fine okay #anti ricky bowen #he gets the lead FOUR times in a row after barely auditioning properly #emotionally whips gina around for an entire season only for her to forgive him immediately and let them start over #which good for you girl but ricky did not deserve it #i enjoy this show purely because of this ability i have to forget past plotlines that enraged me and enjoy shit for what it is #rina was cute this season i enjoyed them i love seeing loml gina happy #do i still think she deserves better? yes but whatever im moving on and pretending ricky wasn't an ass #and gina wasn't constantly putting herself out there for nothing for it to happen #it's fun and enjoyable if you divorce it from the narrative #anyway i miss gini:((

You briefly talked about this one time - what are your thoughts on Maegor and Aenys? Do you think Maegor actually cared about his brother? You would think that that care would carry down to his neices and nephews but once Aenys was dead, he was wiping them all out. What made Aenys different that Maegor actually accepted him instead of trying to immediately remove him from the throne like Visenya wanted him too?

My thoughts on Maegor and Aenys can honestly be boiled down to a crowd in the Coliseum of my mind chanting "sons of the dragon! sons of the dragon! sons of the dragon!" on repeat but I will endeavor to go into more depth.

I actually have gone more in depth on Maegor and Aenys's relationship here and elaborated far more on it here, but my view on them is that it's the quintessential tragedy, it was doomed to fail. Maegor and Aenys's relationship was always going to be tainted by forces outside their control, even from before they were born. Aenys was the son of the favored wife while Maegor was the son of the one Aegon couldn't even stand by the time he was born; Aenys's mental breakdown was always going to stunt his interpersonal relationships other than the one with his father and the one with Quicksilver as he recovered; five years isn't an insurmountable age difference but it's significant in that early childhood development phase. All of this, the circumstances under which Maegor was born and the relationships their parents had with each other and the conflagration of situations that was the First Dornish War and how it affected the family, all of it basically doomed the relationship from the getgo. My view of it was that they were never going to be truly brotherly, not in the way that we see from the modern Starks or Orys and Aegon. But, as I mentioned in those prior responses, I don't think it was all bad. Aenys put a lot of trust and value in Maegor, and Maegor seemed to respect that and respected Aenys's kingship and wanted it to go well. I also find it incredibly important that Maegor accepted his banishment, because we know what happens when Quicksilver and Balerion go head to head. He would have made easy work of his brother and he probably knew that, but instead he accepted Aenys's word as law, left and stayed away until he was recalled by his mother only after Aenys died. That, to me, does speak to the fact that Maegor cared about him. Some of it might be transference, with Aenys as Aegon's clear favorite and Aegon having gone without giving Maegor any of what he might have craved from him (the throne, his approval, his affection, I theorized a lot more on Aegon and Maegor's fractured relationship in that first ask about humanizing him) Maegor might have turned to his older brother in hopes of getting some taste of what he wanted from his father with the only version of his father he has. It's also possible that, once Maegor was a bit older, three to four, Aenys had recovered enough from his ordeals to try and interact with him and be a good brother, in spite of not being raised in the same location. Aenys seems like the type to have wanted to try and do right by his kid brother, if the olive branches he extended to Maegor during his reign when they were both adults is any indication. So even if they weren't close in childhood, Maegor's memories of Aenys when he was a child might have been of someone earnestly trying with him, trying to be good and supportive to someone who doesn't seem to have had much of a support system in the family beyond his mother.

And it should be interesting to note, Maegor does seem to have extended some care towards his nieces and nephews initially. While he did usurp Aegon the Uncrowned, he didn't immediately go after him, he actually let him live unmolested for up to a year, considering that he took the throne in 42 AC and the Battle Beneath God's Eye occured in 43 AC. It was Aegon attempting to muster armies and take back his crown that led to his death, not Maegor taking the throne, for all we know, though it's unlikely, if Aegon had gone into exile the way that Maegor himself had, he might never have died. And while Alyssa and Viserys and Jaehaerys and Alysanne were absolutely hostages, there's no record that they were ever treated badly, not even Viserys who was residing in King's Landing. While I'm sure being a political hostage with the uncle who killed your brother and was slowly becoming more and more mentally unhinged wasn't a picnic, there's no evidence that Maegor ever did anything to Viserys or had anything done to him, and that Viserys didn't live any life other than a comfortable one as a blood relative to the crown. And by the time Visenya died and Alyssa fled with Jaehaerys and Alysanne, Maegor's mental state was already dangerous (this was post coma/Tyana magic interference that may or may not have helped exacerbate him into a crazy person) and that's probably why he responded as badly as he did and had the poor kid tortured to death. Maegor's cruelty to his family can be directly linked to how badly he was doing from a mental perspective, so it's entirely possible that he started out without any intentions to hurt Aenys's kids, because they were Aenys's kids, but as he descended into tyranny and madness, that was one of the core elements of him that was stripped away until only The Cruel remained.

I think a huge part of what made Aenys different, to Maegor at least, really is just that familial connection. Visenya didn't have any connection to Aenys beyond the fact that he was Rhaenys and Aegon's child, and that doesn't do much for her (even though I do think she loved them both, especially Rhaenys, it's just that the whole Dornish War thing and the rift probably turned any potential affection for her nephew into pure apathy. Not to get into Visenya conjectures and whatnot, but that Downton Abbey quote after Matthew dies where Mary says "with Matthew's death, all the softness he found in me seems to have dried up" is soooooo Visenya/Rhaenys coded, that's exactly how I imagined Visenya eventually went after Hellholt. Leave me here to die.) so she was more willing to be harsh and critical of him, especially when compared to the child of her own body and her own direct lineage. But for Maegor, that's his brother. A connection to his father, and someone he had a relationship with in his own right. He seems to have cared enough about that, perhaps even loved Aenys enough, that it really meant something to him, and that he didn't want to directly steal his own brother's birthright in spite of how bad he felt Aenys was at it or not. He could have felt grateful, moved even, by the trust Aenys was putting in him as a brother by giving him Blackfyre and making him Hand and trusting him to secure his reign, and wanted to live up to that trust, prove worthy of it. Their relationship wasn't ever fully reconcilable, in my mind, due to the circumstances it came about it that were entirely out of their control, but it feels like they really tried, on both sides, to bridge that gap as much as they were emotionally able.

TL;DR I think that it was doomed from minute one, but neither of them entirely let it just go into that good night and they probably did have best intentions with each other, even Maegor, considering that he accepted Aenys's rule and helped him and he does seem to have tried to be good to Aenys's kids before he went completely doolally. Probably best summed up as "there was some kind of love there, but love isn't always enough".

If the world ended tomorrow, and you knew but couldn't tell anyone (or it would instead end IMMEDIATELY), what would you do today?

I'd send letters to all of my friends. If I was stuck in Japan, I'd hole myself up in my office and wait. Would it be loud? Would it be painful? Would it be quiet and serene? Would I finally feel as if I was home?? I would consider making amends with my parents and apologize for everything I had done. They don't deserve half the things I put them through. If I was in Britain? I'd grab a drink with some friends, maybe a few, I don't know. I'd live it up and say my final goodbyes to the best family I know. I'd tell them to get some rest, and I'd prepare breakfast when everyone was awake.

#ask box answers #I debated even answering this one. #i'd tell iris and gina that they were the best younger siblings i'd ever had #i just need everyone to know that they mean the world to me #and that i'm sorry for how i acted in the past #but that's directed at two of them

A second spooky oneshot for friends' suggestions and the yokai prompt of @susatosanhelp's prompt list!

Dodomeki are cursed women who turn into yokai because of their penchant for stealing. The concept of dodomeki Gina makes me insane and it's perfect and please scream about dodomeki Gina with me.

This one features ginahao (Gina/Haori) as a pairing, and can be read as ginasusahao (Gina/Susato/Haori).

CW: Some body horror elements (since this type of yokai involves body horror), though nothing overly graphic.

"…You ain't scared?"

'Ori and Gina sat on tatami in the Mikotoba guest room. Sooze should be here with them for the sleepover, but she was running late, talking with her dad. Couldn't blame her—Sooze had been through the wringer, lately. The fact that Gina had barged into their home that morning, screaming at the eyes lining her arms, those fucking eyes—certainly didn't help.

Little seemed to faze 'Ori, even as Gina slouched there in the dim light, still shaking. Gina liked her.

"I don't blame you. I'd be scared too, of course! If I woke up a dodomeki," 'Ori said, eyes wide. She took Gina's arm, covered with a loose kimono sleeve. "I need to know how this happened. I—I don't know how, but…there's got to be some way to help!"

She drew back the sleeve. Rows and rows of eyes glimmered back at her. Gina couldn't see through them, but they blinked of their own volition. They looked just like the eyes on her face; she may have calmed down since morning, but still, nothing stopped the chill, the sinking pit in her stomach.

"Is it true," Gina said "wot Sooze said? These 'dodomeki' are like, divers and thieves an' shit?"

'Ori nodded.

"Is it…my fault, then? Cos I'm a diver?"

'Ori, this sharp-as-a-knife bird, with her bright eyes—she was too pure, really. She sidled up to Gina, resting her chin on her shoulder. "Like I said, I don't know where this came from, but there has to be an explanation. A rational one, like Mikotoba-sensei said!

"And anyways," she continued, mumbling softly, "Enough about this being 'your fault.' You sound like Susato!"

Gina smiled at that. She leaned against 'Ori. The latter was warm, and she didn't flinch when Gina rested her arm on hers. And ya call us the dashin' ones.

When they awoke, a pink blanket reached up to their ears, scented with cherry blossom and tinged with 'Ori's light chemical scent.

i know we've all already talked about how fucking great it is that leverage gave the femme fatale role to gina bellman when she was forty five but they're doing it again in redemption by yeah keeping gina as the femme fatale ten years later but also by keeping parker... parker. like how many roles like that are there for forty five year old women honestly? god. props. (AND THEN they got their first female cast member under thirty and dressed her up in so. many. layers. because shes gnc. godddddd 🙌🏽)

#shes still exhuberant she's hot she's athletic she fights she's funny she goes to a childrens therapist cause she likes the puppets #she jumps on people she likes she jumps off builldings she loves vents and hanging off roofs by her fingertips #shes the worlds best thief and the second most dangerous team member and shes forty fiveeee #its just not a role a woman past thirty would have usually gotten you know. and she was already what 35 in og? i love it. gina bellman too #i wrote buillllllldings in that first tag #parker #leverage: redemption #leverage

Been thinking about that cardigan *you know whoch one*. It's so soft and cuddly. So I guess that is the closest we get to the real Mick. Like w/o his demeanor or acting of a womanizer and arrogance behavior. Idk if that even makes sense. But yeah. I'm pretty sure that he would be even a little bit*a lot* insecure when he at some point falls in love. I'm seeing so much longing and big eyes a little bit sad a little bit hope and so much devotion. He would't openly approach them. He would think of some strategic and really comlicated even a long shot plan. Slightly manipulative. Unpopular opinion but I'm sure he is a romantic deep in heart and is kind of dreaming of that special someone who would give him peace.

Yeah I get I'm profiling a cardigan but I can't unsee it. And the way he is a little bit ashamed when he phones that girl and we found out he had something with her and everyone is like ofc he had BUT I'm sure he wants to be seen as more than just this by them. Bc he cares about them.

Goshhh that's too long

Will anyone even read it🤣🤣🤣don't care had to share it

anon. thank you so much for sharing this with me i am going to kiss you

and yes, i know which cardigan you're talking about and yes, i agree with you. i loved seeing *that* side of him even if it was short. almost vulnerable, a not often seen side of the usual "mick rawson" persona he keeps up. I mean, they were called for a case in the middle of the night so of course he's gonna be too tired to care 😂 it was sooo soft and I wish we'd gotten more of that look. 🥺

and love the way you profiled the cardigan. you're %100 right about mick being a romantic deep down. like have you seen this man and how much he cares about the people around him, but doesn't openly admit it often? you can see it in the way he treats his teammates, the way he'd do anything for them but he doesn't directly make it obvious.

i feel like there's a little bit of fear in there too. you know the whole "snipers feel invulnerable. they choose to keep people at a safe emotional distance" thing. which is why i also agree with the part you mentioned about seeing so much longing, hope and devotion in his eyes. because yeah, this man would absolutely give it all for the person he loves.

i think that's part of why he keeps up the whole "serial dater" persona instead of settling down for someone or letting anyone get close to him. I feel like he's scared. That's what he's used to, what he taught himself so it's easier for him to.. play around. pick up women or men as he pleases and all that.

also love the part abt him making a long strategic plan if he was in love bc YES. absolutely. 😭 this man's a MESS hahsjdh

and u didn't have to hurt me like that w the "he wants to be seen as more than just this by them" but ill let it slide bc ur observation was on point. ;]

anyway, mick rawson is a lover no matter how much he tries to hide it. we know what u are mick. i love the family dynamic in the show but it's even more precious when you look at it separately, from Mick's perspective. Just how much he cares about them and how much they care back. I love them so much.

sorry if i got off topic or talked too much but yeah thank you so much for sharing this with me, i really appreciate it. you get mick rawson so well!!!!!!

#like we don't see him open up about his past often yet he'd still do anything for his family #the way he's ready to give it all for Cooper. the way he was looking out for Prophet in case he was abt to leave. #how he personally asked Gina if she was happy when he learned she was gonna get married (deleted) #how he reassured Beth when she saved Mick's life 'we all have each other anyway' #LIKE DO YOU WANT ME TO KILL MYSELF #sorry. its just he makes me so sad #he's a sad little man with so much hope and love in his heart. he deserves the world. #and he deserves to be loved. #mick rawson #mik #answered #sorry for going off he makes me ill #cm:sb #cmsb

[homemade-ghosts]

Did you get my ask few months ago? I was asking that I was surpised that when Ricky and Nini got back together, Nini never questioned about his friendship with Gina? We saw all of evidences of Nini being jealous of them hanging out and she was very much aware that there was obv something going on between them, especially at Thanksgiving party with whole "we thing" and she knew that there was more to it but when they got back together, she never questioned him about her? Never asked him about his feelings for Gina or what his friendship with her meant to him? After all she was his girlfriend, she would have more reasons to ask but that never happened. That's what surprised me. I wonder what you think of that?

I did! & I’m so sorry I never responded to it, I guess now is my chance lol — Here’s your original ask, for reference:

I was thinking back and it just hit me that s1 was when Ricky and Gina got closer and Nina witnessed that and was obviously jealous of them. She mentioned about them being "we" during Thanksgiving and saw them bonding and was really jealous of them and she wasn't an idiot to see that there was obviously something going on between Ricky and Gina. What bugged me the most about this is when Ricky and Nina got back together, why Nina didn't bring Gina up to him especially about his feelings for her? She knew they were pretty close but she never brought it up at all? In s2 when she was going to YAC and they were doing long distance, still she said nothing about them as she knew Ricky and Gina would be in same school. I am not saying that she would think Ricky would cheat which is not the case but to know that he would have someone to turn to and bond with, if that makes sense. She was jealous of them for whole season one for a good reason then when they got back together, it's almost like she forgot about his "friendship" with Gina or whatever. I find it very strange because she saw how happy Ricky was when Gina was around and his smile lights up the moment she was in the room and laughed with her and shared all of those cute moments with her. So why do you think that it wasn't brought up in their conversation about Gina? It's almost like she wasn't insecure and was confident in their relationship as if Gina meant nothing to him which wasn't even true at all. So odd.

Nini effectively forgetting that Ricky & Gina had any sort of relationship was something that was brought up as a definite inconsistency by a lot of people while s2 was airing. From my perspective, it wasn’t so much an indicator of Nini’s confidence in their relationship as it was something done purposefully by the writers to avoid giving the audience the impression that Gina was “coming in between” Ricky & Nini.

If Nini had referenced Gina & Ricky’s past (to Ricky or anyone else) while they were dating, viewers would’ve been much more likely to blame Gina, in some part, for their eventual breakup. It’s why they have Gina say, in one of her confessionals, that she would “never step on what [Ricky] has with Nini.” & it’s why, even though Rini’s relationship has been rocky & unhealthy from the very beginning, we don’t see things really start to spiral out of control (& head towards definitive “breakup” territory) until Ricky & Gina are no longer on speaking terms (post-ep 5). Tim & Co. wanted to make it very clear that Rini’s breakup had absolutely nothing to do with Gina (or anyone else) and absolutely everything to do with the fact that Ricky & Nini weren’t right for each other, that they hadn’t been for a long time and that holding on so tight to their past together was holding them both back from a better — happier — future. 

 They even made a point of having Gina help Ricky with his relationship at times. She’s the one who gives him the idea to sing his Valentine’s Day song for Nini over the phone after they hadn’t been able to catch each other in person all day. She’s the one who tells him not to send that very intense (to say the least) text about how Ricky wishes he was Nini’s dream — a text that would’ve made Nini very uncomfortable & pressured her into feeling like she had to come back to SLC (she, of course, wanted to come back home of her own accord, but Ricky didn’t know that at the time). & she’s the one who, rightfully, tries to remind him that he should talk to Nini about what she wants before he makes the decision to ask Miss Jenn, behind Nini’s back, about getting her a part in the show. Gina gave Ricky advice regarding Nini, despite how uncomfortable it made her, because all she ever wanted was to see him happy — even if it meant she wasn’t. & Ricky returned that favor in s3.

Unfortunately, despite the writers’ best efforts, some Rinis/PWs (one is synonymous with the other) still decided to completely misunderstand/twist the show’s narrative, just so they could place the blame on Gina, to avoid admitting that Ricky & Nini brought out the worst in each other. Just like how they repeatedly blamed Ricky for “trying to break up” PW — even though 1. The exact opposite was true: Ricky put more effort into keeping Gina & EJ together than EJ himself did during PW’s entire relationship — & 2. Gina gave a whole speech about why she & EJ don’t/won’t work, explicitly telling EJ it was not about Ricky.
