i love the kirkwall squad because they all have such protagonist energy. any of them could be the main character. except for varric but he did that on purpose. any of the rest of them could be the main character

The sad thing about 'walkable city' discourse is that making cities more open to people who walk or use public transport is, in and of itself, actually pretty good. It's just that unfortunately there's a significant overlap between people (online at least) who seriously focus on that issue and people who have turned hating cars into a facet of their personality, and members of the later group are predictably some of the most out of touch and condescending people you will ever meet.

Also way to shit on eleven’s character development— she STILL needs this 15 year old boy to tell her he loves her before she can find the strength to fight back? that scene went against Everything she had just learned while undergoing the nina project?

yay! I drew these quite literally three years ago. dragonheart!milo and raihan! a knight on a doomed dragon hunt being lifted out of his station by a small village medicine man. together they become magic lawyers and overthrow the government
the main details in these do survive into the iterations I’ve drawn (instead of these actual designs I spent time to make el oh el): the “leaf” diamond quilt/gambeson and the plaited coattail for milo, the “atypical” weapons, long coat, and large number of scattered fake gold trims and accessories for raihan. I think I lost raihan the hat and added a cape for milo further down the line because like this their general silhouettes are too similar for my liking lol
#pokemon#swsh#applinshipping#dragonheart AU#gym leader raihan#gym leader milo#leon is the puppet king in this one (I never made a design for him lol. lmao) (its not about him!!!!) (it is just a tiny bit#sonia actually disappeared out to sea like just the year before raihan got sent off too. and the shows up where raihan and milo are later on#as usual the everything between those three are messy in a way that makes every one of them embarrassed to bring it up lmao#if u remember one of the october pieces I did last year. the applinshipping one. yeap thats from this AU too#lmao. also remembering the swordsman AU. in every AU where I bring up a king you can TELL I cant WAIT to get rid of that guy#(its usually leon)#anyways it's not about him this is about raihan and milo!!! iirc everyone in the village knows milo is Something. bc he has literally not#aged at all for four generations#he's like doing his therapy away from the dragon hierarchy out here and raihan crash lands nearby#laughs this is so hallmark movie romance I just realized. except the city girl is trying to#extract her family from the palace before stealing the declaration of independence#oh yeah the AU is named that Specifically because the 'artifact' the whole plot runs around is supposedly a 'calcified' heart of a dragon#and the magic lawyer part is so raihan will seize the right to the throne by haha. winning a living dragon's heart instead#I'm actually surprised I remember this much abt this AU lmao it's literally been three years! I don't even remember what Im#supposed to do tomorrow#it's gettign a USB stick isnt it. Im doin a canadian horror triple feature with the senpai#I gotta remember that. well I remember This so. maybe there's a chance#man there are actually a number of applinshipping things I wanna draw... theyre my Fuckin BoyS#well! there's this at least. have a good night lads! I'll have cake soon#it's time to put cinnamon in things.

Still thinking about “Vulcan who’s sure they’re dating + pining Human who doesn’t know if the Vulcan likes them”
Rn thinking about them doing domestic stuff together, like the Human knitting on the couch while watching a mystery movie and the Vulcan sitting next to them, both of them telling each other their theories for the plot twist
And the whole time the Human is just anxious like “do they like me back? this could easily be a friends’ hangout that I’m overthinking :(“
(which is true, could be a normal hangout, and a valid concern)
But, the Vulcan’s thinking about how to ask them to move in together and is considering how to bring up the idea of bonding

crime plots part 3: (part one | part two)
tw: drugs, guns, mention of murder, etc.
two people who are drug dealers, but together! they run a successful business and besides being colleagues, they are also highly in love with each another.
a group plot kinda based on baby driver where a bunch of criminals are brought together for robberies, or anything really, and splitting the money in the end. they all know each other because they worked together before or just met somewhere down the line and they all have different talents and connections (friendships, love, exes or rivals). the team usually changes depending on the job, but the boss think this particular team works well so it becomes a consistent. they work different together on cases, things go wrong and sometimes it goes really well. this can go many ways! hook-ups, break-ups, arguments, saving each other’s lives, almost getting caught, etc!
a world infamous hacker is known for their ways that are impossible to crack. their activities could vary from hacking notorious businesses to darker stuff like having their own cyber criminal organization or working with the most dangerous people in the world. either way no one knows who they truly are, until the hacker gets hacked and receives voice/video calls or even a package or a visit to their house! from there on things could go either way: working together, threatening to expose one another, wanting to learn from one another... bonus: after a while they fall in love but it’s long distance so what they do is they hack into each other’s phones and toy with each others lives bc they have no idea what privacy is and omg imagine the angst!
i’m a gangleader and you’re a rookie trying to prove themselves and i have a soft spot for you because you’re cute, so i help you out. i teach you things and bring you along to places just so i can have your back. and people in the gang start talking shit, but i get highly defensive and if anyone else tries to make a move on you i might lose it. plot twist: i get injured and you’re taking care of me.
we’re both part of a different crime family and to settle the decade old war we are forced to marry each other. but we spent our entire life hating each other because people that we cared got killed because of this war and for years i was under protection so i could never do what i wanted because of you. now muse a is a little bit scared of muse b bc they’re just normal and muse b is a lot more involved in the industry, killed people and god knows what. muse a also had to break up with their previous partner because of the arranged marriage. and let’s be real, this was never meant to last and at some point they’re starting to cheat on each other and that’s when the possessiveness begins and arguments turn into them slowly starting to care about each other.
i’m a stripper/prostitute working for you and honestly i don’t love doing this, but i need the money and it’s the only way to get close to you and i’m honestly breaking my own heart having to see you with other entertainers bc let’s be real, you barely know i exist
i work in the emergency room and you keep coming in with bullet/stab wounds and crazy stories about how you got them and i don’t believe you so i confront you one on one and tell you what i think is really going on here, you’re a criminal aren’t you?
someone close to me got killed and in order to find answers i dive into their world, only to find out they live a double life full of crime. no one knows i’m going undercover as an innocent rookie and i try to get close to the people involved to get answers. of course, i meet a love interest that either i get along with from the start and helps me with adjusting into this new life or it’s like an enemies to lovers sorta thing. only to realize after a while that it’s too late to go back to normal and now i’m the one that’s living the double life and as though that’s not enough, the answers i’ve been looking for are not what i expected them to be...
muse a is a detective in a murder investigation, they always give it their all, but this time they’re told to do so by all means necessary. a murder of someone ‘important’ or maybe an expected serial killer! muse b is an inmate charged with murder and they’re highly intelligent, very cooperative and their murder is just very similar to the one that just occurred. hence the reason muse b is asked to become the criminal consultant for a reduced sentence, helping muse a with their investigation because who can think like a criminal better than a criminal? optional: muse b is sending help from the outside world to help with the investigation there too (and protect the detective!)
i’m rich as shit and when they say you don’t become this rich by being an good person — they’re right. a lot of it is drug money (or something else?) and it’s a secret i’m planning on bringing to my grave until one day my house keeper/pool boy/gardener/??? overhears one of my phone calls and instead of them taking the hush money to keep this between us, they want to go on a date.

My hottest take of all time is that Mike is (was) the main character of Stranger Things.
Now, do I think he still is? No. Not really.
TBH I would argue that ALL the OG's are main characters in their own way at this point, with them all getting somewhat similar amounts of screen-time across the board by s4.
But if we're talking about the first two seasons, Finn was indeed credited before both Millie and Noah. The only actors that were credited before him were Winona and David (respectfully).
Just rewatching s1-2, you can see very clearly that Mike is being framed as the main character, with his perspective being favored in big group sequences, with us following him places that we don't really follow others, and for longer periods of time.
What I find interesting, is that even though Noah revealed recently that the Duffer's have been slowly building up/hinting at Will's feelings for Mike since the beginning, it's Mike whose perspective we were usually seeing in all those moments.
In s1, we see Mike looking for Will, with Noah only having like a handful of scenes that entire season. We also get more of a focus on Mike's reactions in comparison to the other party members.
In s2, we see Mike making every effort to support Will all season. It's Mike whose reaching out to Will constantly, calling to see why he's not at school, going by his house, sleeping over for days and staying by his bedside at Hawkins lab. Although Will arguably plays a bigger role in the upside down aspect of the show this season, a large portion of Mike and Will moments focused on Mike's feelings for Will being shared through Mike's POV, and not so much the other way around.
It isn't until s3 that Millie starts being credited before Finn (and respectfully so, as she was arguably bringing in more hype in terms of fandom excitement back in those days, so I do get it). And so we're arguably going from Mike centric (s1), to Will centric (s2), to El centric (s3).
As a result, we also started seeing less of Mike's POV. Though, to be fair there are 10+ new characters joining every season, so EVERYONE is getting less screen-time, every season.
But isn't it so convenient, that when we start getting less insight into Mike's POV, he starts acting strange...? And we don't really get outright answers as to why? Answers that we would probably have if we had Mike's POV as much as we used to?
S3 is when we started getting Will's POV more when it came to him and Mike's relationship. Their dynamic sort of flips between s1-2 vs. s3-4.
Not to say we never get Mike's POV anymore, but when we do, it's hard to discern and so most people overlook it completely on the rare occasion that it does pop up.
Anyways, this whole concept reminded me of the main character shots we got at the end of s4.
These were shots that had multiple characters in the frame, but with only (1) person specifically at the forefront...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
YALL KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS???
Arguably, these three main characters storyline's are tied together in a substantial way, and how it all plays out could have been foreshadowed, by the very order and even blocking of these shots.
Think about it.!?!.
Mike was arguably the main character of s1, which means getting his POV at the forefront again would be going back to the shows roots.
Will is arguably the main character of s2, and so blending Mike's arc (ending with Mike hugging Hopper hmmmmmm... Mike accepting his sexuality??) with Will's unreliable narrator arc being resolved (ending with Will and Mike side by side hmmmmmmm... Will getting the boy??), and this combined with Will's connection to the upside down, blending perfectly with his wonder twin, El's storyline (El walking passed Mike and Will.... El dumping his ass again??), with her now at the forefront as the main character, arguably just like in s3, except now she has full autonomy for the first time in the show, she knows her worth, she's accepted herself. And this all coming to a head with those three and everyone in the shows arcs being resolved by the end??
BITCH???

here are a couple of plots i’m thinking about a lot that i would really like to rp. they’re all inspired from a few different kdramas/manhwa i’ve read.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚
1. a free-spirited girl decides she’s going to take a vacation in a local beach town and just be someone else. she uses a different name, tells a few white lies, and becomes the person she really wants to be. she’s living a new simple life. a guy happens to visit the town, they meet, they fall in love, and it’s real. aside from the fact she’s lying about who she is. he’s extending his vacation and telling her he wants to turn this into a relationship. but his work hits a snafu and requests he comes back home, so they promise to stay in touch. but when he comes back, she’s gone. until he runs into her one day, and is really confused why people are calling her by a different name.
2. she’s just started a new job at a large company that just welcomed a new boss. her best friend’s parents keep setting her up on dates and hoping she’ll settle down. instead, her best friend can’t be bothered and asks our girl to go in her place and ruin the date. the guy - he’s a bit uptight, maybe he’s being set up for the same reasons as the friend, but this all fun and games. until he calls her and says he wants to go out again. shit. then when she goes to work the next day, look who’s her new boss! double shit.
3. tw: death - a married couple are getting a divorce. she’s served him papers after all these years. their marriage was a sham set up to keep both families’ business afloat. or was it? because when she thinks she’s finally out, he gets into a fatal accident. ding! the clocks restarted themselves to when the couple first got married - is this a sign that this marriage is not supposed to be over? maybe she needs make this work so the same tragic fate doesn’t happen to him again.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚
i am pretty terrible at explaining my ideas but reach out if you’re interested in any of these scenarios.

Random but I liked that the dude on the left came back to work for Keeley, too. It shows that she WAS successful at building relationships with multiple coworkers who’d doubted her at first, who she’d struggled to connect to. They came back to her because she’d established herself as a great and competent woman to work for :)

One of the most solid writing elements of Independence Day that has really helped the movie stand the test of time is just how methodical the aliens are in their destruction of Earth.
Despite all of their advanced tech, everything has its limits. They can't just bombard Earth from orbit because their weapons don't work that way--the blast from their mega-cannons spreads across the city because of the City Destroyers' massive size and shields. The dramatic charge time at the end is matched by the charge times in the beginnings (it's a few seconds longer in the climax, but the City Destroyer just spent a lot of energy moving full speed to Area 51 and probably hadn't charged the cannon as effectively as the ones resting above cities for hours had--which is logical!); everything works on a consistent standard.
The aliens also rely on the Earth's satellite connections to function, adding a level of realism to their communication and function--and yes, people make fun of the virus plot, but the writers show their work throughout and address every point step by step.
All of this combines so that, while you can't see the aliens acting at all in the movie, you can work out exactly what they're doing. There's a logical pattern to every action they take, and it doesn't matter if the commander in the final battle is smugly sitting back and swirling a glass of Space Wine as he prepares to exterminate the little humans for his Glorious Leader, or screaming furiously at every officer to get that weapon online before something damages his ship further--the goal is clear. The movie is a huge chess game, both sides are players, but we're only seeing one perspective.
That makes it an odd case where a Sci-Fi film is actually a War Movie, and I love it.

plots based on the album ‘something to give each other’ by troye sivan. i will probably add more songs in the future but these three songs have been on my mind for days!
‘One of Your Girls’
muse a and muse b knew there was something between them from the moment they first met. muse a is openly straight— the intimate relationship he forms with muse b something he could never share with anyone. muse b falls for muse a quickly, however muse a is trapped in a cycle of meaningless hookups and loveless relationships to avoid confronting his true feelings for muse b. willing to sacrifice everything for muse a, muse b sits back and watches as muse a openly sees other people while keeping muse b as his little secret knowing he won’t leave. plenty of room for angst— daydreaming together of a universe where it’s them at the end of the day and everyone in their lives supports them, muse b wondering if he’s wasting his time or if muse a really will be with him one day, etc.
‘still got it’
muse a and muse b were in a serious relationship for (x) amount of years. for the entirety of their relationship they were fiercely loyal to each other, passionately in love, predicted to marry. something goes wrong; muse a changes everything muse b loved about them, moves into a new place that holds no memory of muse b, they do their best to leave behind every part of the person muse b loved. now they’re acting like two strangers in the same crowded room, two strangers who inevitably find themselves tipsy in the back of an uber together. hesitant touching and second guesses fill the silence between them for this never-ending ride, neither muse knowing where the night will end.
‘can’t go back’
muse a is a famous musician, muse b is their partner of (x) years who travels on and off the road with them. muse a is having the biggest performance of their career with muse b supporting them as always— however at some point during the weekend muse b cheats while they are supposed to be standing there in the audience (maybe getting too tipsy at the hotel bar pre-show, maybe he’s just a dick, tbd!) cheering their partner on. muse a finds out about the fair after a period of time and ends the relationship ignoring muse b’s pleading apologies, only to spend all of his time processing all of the hard feelings they hold on to. it doesn’t matter how hard they try, muse b is always back in their orbit at the end of the day as they find themselves tangled in a never-ending cycle of ‘this is the the last time’ and ‘i need you, i’m sorry.’
