i have this really stupid idea in my head that im frankly a little obsessed with and the idea is this: trent crimm doing a drunk history episode on ted lasso's first tenure at richmond. is that how drunk history works? i don't think so. do i care? absolutely not. it's a special episode who cares because this image is not only hysterical to me but treasured. i treasure this image. i hold it close in my heart and also laugh and laugh and laugh.

#ted is played by what is very visibly a butch lesbian in a huge fake mustache. #roy is inexplicably played by himself in a wig. #ternt drunkenly and passionately explaining this whole thing. he says his own line and the trent actor (who also has a wig) gets to act it #trent waving his hands as he's explaining all this. the host being like 'not very often we get to have someone include the part where They #come into the story' and trents like [dorkiest finger guns] #also yes i said first tenure bc this scenario lives in post canon fantasy fix it land where ambiguously ted comes back to richmond #at some point. and also both bc my tedependent heart is obsessed and bc it's really funny #marries trent. just bc i want this to end with trent--hammered and pleased as punch--being like AND THEN I MARRIED HIM!!!!! #[falls back on couch happily] :) #also in the line of that great 5+1 social media fic #by jessjessthebest. a sequel thats just like a youtube video like #'we made ted lasso and trent crimm watch that episode of drunk history about them' and trent is just. head in hands the whole time. #ted is DELIGHTED. #anyway i rotate this in my brain fucking DAILY. it's so goddamn funny to me. #ted lasso #tedependent #tedtrent #trent crimm #the line in question being 'is this a fucking joke' i just realized i did not clarify that #no but really im obsessed with this it's so fucking funny #also any image trent had left of being a ruthless ex journalist is thoroughly ruined #all of his former colleagues have seen him and drunk and giggling and fully admitting what he was thinking at the time and oh boy #hes a disaster <3

one Warmup Gone Wrong later i finally have a full ref for the man, the myth, the legend, the minor annoyance, the thorn in the side of petty criminals and more successful heroes the world over, the one and only GOLDEN BOY (civilian name TBD. it's gotta be something super boring like, Jim or Something)

#anonymous puzzler art #anonymous puzzler originals #villain coded comic #casual outfit was going for more of a 'guy who grew up on a farm' vibe but ended up more in the vicinity of Kurt Russell In Every 80s Film. #which to be honest? is also the correct vibe. so we work with it #i've definitely talked about this elsewhere but golden boy is very much a Superman Type Hero. crash landed from Elsewhere raised humbly #was classic hero Silver Fox's sidekick for many years and became a proper hero in his own right after he retired. very idealistic guy #genuinely believes for good for good's sake and helping people and the ability for bad people to change and all that #very Direct and not a fan of red tape. needless to say he is not the Favorite of the current establishment and is often treated as a joke #he is buck and davey's Most Consistent Heroic Adversary especially pre-Minnie

Roxas: Had the Halloween town kids throw bombs in his face for multiple missions in a row before finally breaking down and smacking them around a bit.

Ventus: The dwarves were rude and refused to talk to him, immediately resorted to chasing them down and whacking them.

Characterization I see frequently: Ah, yes, Roxas is the one always willing to throw hands and Ventus is a smol sunshine boy.

#kh #kingdom hearts #these are really silly examples but the point stands! #in fact I think it expands when you look at their full screen-time #I am once again begging people to watch a full let's play of Days #don't get me wrong Ventus IS brightness and sunshine #but he also has the energy of a chihuahua ready to fight the world and I will stand by that #where as Roxas will tend to just try to avoid it until he Very Much Can't #now I think Roxas does BITTERNESS better than Ventus or Sora #but bitterness is not temper #in fact bitterness is usually negative emotions left on the backburner until the resentment caves in on itself #I suppose this is up to interpretation but from my reading... #a lot of times Ventus seems to burn out his anger then let it go #whereas Roxas doesn't do anything with the emotions until he/the situation self-destructs catastrophically so it ends up being nastier #but on the day-to-day? #yeah no Ventus is going to be the one reacting first #you can also exchange Sora for Ventus for some of these arguments #though I think he lands somewhere between Ventus and Roxas for short-temperedness #all this is more complicated than this reductive commentary of course #you have to take in how and in what orders the characters were introduced and marketed #the difficulty of getting the handheld games historically and the biases that set in before they were easily accessed #not to mention stock archetypes for fandom joke set-ups that then perpetuate the characterization... #like there's a LOT to how this came to be #but it Gets To Me sometimes #yza talks about a thing

ALSO you know what i find just absolutely wild? how few people i see talking about patrick zweig. like. maybe im just missing it, but it seems like EVERYONE is talking about art and going on about what a sad puppy dog art is — and that's TRUE that's SO TRUE — but you know who is an even BIGGER sad puppy dog? who is even MORE pathetic and sopping wet? PATRICK FUCKIN ZWEIG PEOPLEEEEE

#give my pathetic abandoned sopping wet rat bisexual some LOVE!!!!! #(no shade at all to art and art lovers i love him and i love yall too) #but ohohoh PATRICK. he is my fave <3 #i could talk about him for HOURS #about how he has been abandoned by everyone he ever loved (his parents; tashi; art) #about how he knows hes bisexual but he also still seems kinda repressed about it — #like he makes JOKES about it (id let her fuck me with a racket; the teaching art to jerk off story) #and he plays off the touchy feely-ness with art as just boys being boys its what boy besties do #but he also kind of refuses to be blunt about it — #letting art take the lead answering tashi about what they are; his hesitation whsn swiping through tinder and landing on a guy #he knows what he wants but hes SCARED #its just OUGH SO GOOD HES SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER LOVE HIM #patrick zweig #challengers #challengers spoilers #(<- the post really isnt but my tags kind of are lol)

i know tommy is a tertiary character or whatever but after rewatching all the begins i desperately want to hear him talk more about that time at the 118 from his perspective. i want to know if he was afraid! i want to know if he wasn’t! how much did he know about himself by then, an inkling? nothing at all? all of it?? i want to know about his guilt and bridging the gap to friendship and if having made amends back then feels any different now that he isn’t hiding anymore…

#AND I KNOW WE PROBABLY WONT!! there aren’t enough minutes in an episode and they’re not going to spend development time on #a character who isn’t main cast #but i want to KNOW!!! #they were all friendly by the end of his time at the 118 #he was a lot worse when chimney started #but he does become the first one after eli to get extend an olive branch and bring Chim into the fold #and he makes A comment with hen but even that could be read as a poorly landed joke at east coasters not at hen #especially recontextualizing shots of him when hen takes her stand #like! i want to know! with this new information abt him. what was going thru his head #the quick shots of him looking vaguely shamed and nervous… with new context… MAN #they really struck gold on accident dude i still can’t believe how much shit lined up UNINTENTIONALLY #like. wasn’t the ‘you don’t find it son you make it’ guy named thomas #Buck’s life being defined by multiple gay men named tom #anyways. I haven’t felt normal in weeks #iinryer post

Jones was made an example of. A surface prison would not be enough--a multiple decade sentence in New Newgate would make the message clear: sedition would not be tolerated.

The light had long gone out of him by the time he'd received the visitor--a man who had, at the very least, seemed to know his file well, and came armed with a proposition: Wouldn't he like to be free? He could walk out of this cell within the week, return to a normal life, all for the small price of stepping onto the Chessboard. The work would suit him, after all.

Jones couldn't give two shits about the work. The embers that had burned in his heart for political change had long since been snuffed out. But had the devil himself opened the door and offered him a job he would be on the first train to Hell.

He accepts.

I had this sitting in my drafts for a while because while carving linocuts the other day I ended up mentally writing out an entire ficlet of their actual conversation, then of course instantly forgetting all of it before I could get to a computer.

#my art #jones #the joke here is that he probably doesn't know that hell is a real place and not actually all that far away #but yeah #i hope this isn't too dark #i kept trying to brighten it whilst maintaining the atmosphere and then constantly landed back in modern movie lighting #fun fact: i actually made an alt for jones #and been having a lot of fun with his character #very different from ockham

am i the only one who sensed some jilted lover vibes from jensen? 

#burcon #cockles #thoughts #at the start of the panel and through a few particular interactions he seemed very standoffish #he was giving a little bitter and hurt and perhaps even resentful - maybe he only learned of misha's gf #at this con too! maybe it was news to him. on top of not seeing misha for months i can understand #if he was feeling a bit neglected and out of the loop. there's also the matter of misha's gf not being #in a poly thing with jensen and dee like vicki was ie. what she has with misha is seperate so i'm sure #that's another difficult thing to deal with knowing their time together is strictly separate #i've no doubt he wants misha to have a partner and be happy but there's an adjustment period #letting new people into your life and whoever misha's partner is now or in the future is going to #affect jensen on a personal level and moreover his relationship with misha. it's all very intriguing #and while i like what little i've seen and heard about this woman for misha i just think no matter who #she is it's going to take a toll on jensen's relationship w misha. i thought it was plain to see on jensen's face #during their panel: numerous moments where he was giving a poker face that wasn't covering a laugh #but instead like he was trying to smooth out his bitterness. or so my eyes and brain and heart tell me. #just various moments where things looked uncomfortable and jensen making off-colour jokes that didn't land #and which furthermore were barbed and snarky - not in their usual banter way but like he was lashing out #and using the excuse of chaotic panel convo to explain away his comedic pitfalls. but again maybe i'm #looking to much into it? idk. there are some lovely moments! fun and caring moments - but they #mainly came from misha's direction ngl. it seemed like misha was trying hard to keep the peace #while jensen was just running his mouth on comments and jokes that kept not landing - for me #everyone on my dash is loving their dynamic this panel - and i want to feel that love! it is possible that #learning misha has a gf has skewed my perception a little like i'm putting context onto moments #i otherwise wouldn't. but i also think i would've laughed and generally felt better watching their panel #if that was the case. idk. whatever the reason i do think something was OFF between them on stage #and it was coming from jensen from the start. misha picked up on it partway though but things felt #a little strained throughout. like jensen wasn't looking at misha as much as usual or reaching out for him #misha tried to salvage and not react to things. but both their answers to the last Q were passive aggressive af #and when they left the stage together they weren't close or touching or chatting like they usually are...

Ok yes America hating the cold is funny (eh) BUT. have you considered that I like the imagery of an America sitting alone in the forest in the bleak mid-winter landscape of an east coast woods, all alone in both body and mind, agonizing over her seeming doom to be stuck in the throes of loneliness for all eternity?

#aph nyo america #aph america #i want engagement <3 #secret confession i actually hate that canonically america doesnt do well in the cold #it gives too much ammo to the west coasters (villains) who can’t let my poor baby alfred be the east coast girl he truly is #also in a broader sense i feel like it creates a weird divide in both the portrayal of america and the connection he has with his country #as its representation #america is one of the most climate diverse countries in the entire world and i feel like making the REPRESENTATION OF AMERICA not be able t #handle a large majority of his country’s climate is an Odd choice and creates an unfortunate barrier between american culture #and the way it’s portrayed in hetalia #imo one of the most amazing parts of the geography of the us is its ability to be a metaphor for the american people #so insanely diverse and fundamentally different and completely irreconcilable—but it works anyways. #the land works together anyways //we// work together anyways we become one anyways despite what any and all logic dictates #what any and all logic DEMANDS #so for america to not be able to represent that cohesion + community—and in fact represent an intense and almost INNATE complete inability #to even try being accepting of and embracing our differences—is just.. not something I like + insinuates a very odd view of American cultur #my eyes are shutting as i type this im so tired #sorry if this is horribly written rip #i see this a lot in the hetalia fandom (IK I JUST DID IT IN THIS POST LMAO BUT I SWEAR I DO IT AS A JOKE; I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE WEST #COAST AND AM FULLY AWARE OF ITS ROLE IN THE US CULTURE AND FUNCTION) where people write alfred as being almost hostilely exclusionary??? #towards certain areas of america—city al who doesn’t like the country; country al who doesn’t like the newfangled cities; northerner al #who hates the southerners (because theyre poor + dont fit the author’s view of respectable people BUT THATS FOR A DIFFERENT POST);southerne #al who hates the northerners—and it’s all very gross to me. america is not—at its core—a country/culture founded on separation!! our ideals #are based on being—at our most basic—separate multi-faceted individuals who COME TOGETHER!! as one because of common ideals and love #E PLURIBUS UNUM!!!!!! #ok im done gn

MK Kneeling Motif

#so. the one from 1x00 and 4x10 huh #Originally this started as me cataloguing every time MK is forced to his hands and knees #However in all honesty #I think it's more about him standing up again. Like it happens a lot #They make a joke about it in 2x09 #''Why do I always land on my face?'' he really fucking does #But he also stands back up again #And I'm like. We've had several scenes where MK standing was THE climax of the scene. #But we've also had scenes where MK being sent to his knees is the climax. So like #You know. #Standing and Kneeling motif both lovers and enemies I guess #Actually something something MK kneeing motif something something SWK kneeling while Tripitaka puts the circlet on him #lmk #lmk parallels #lego monkie kid #lmk MK #monkie kid

I think the essential part of the perfect nagito characterization for me is making him always sound like. the most sarcastic motherfucker ever. smarmy and high-horsey and passive aggressive af. like regina george levels of insincere flattery. except he is being 100% SINCERE (most of the time) and has NO IDEA how much of what he's saying comes off as him Being A Dick

this only makes it harder for him to make jokes because his sense of humor is so dry already that it kind of just blends into the way he naturally speaks so it just makes him even less comprehensible which is ALSO an essential part of a peak nagito characterization. make this motherfucker inscrutible

#when nagito is the pov I want to see him being “genuine” and completely unable to parse why none of it seems to land w his classmates #and when he isn't (and this is important) I want him to be nigh incomprehensible #I want very few if not all of the characters in the fanfic to just. not understand a lick of what he's saying #with the exception of hajime #in certain circumstances #I really feel like the comedy of unintelligible creature nagito komaeda in fanfic is undertapped (or maybe I haven't looked hard enough) #(if thats the case please send me fic recs I'd love to read them) #danganronpa 2 #nagito komaeda #far be it for me to say “they don't understand you” to a years old fan-favorite character but. they don't understand you nagito komaeda #half joke ofc

how is calling your wife breedable an offense?😭 if you’re clutching your pearls at that i’m assuming you’re single and on reddit too much. if anything, calling your partner breedable is such a complimentt

i’m literally watching cars bro i do not care that much 😭 i called ludwig breedable on this blog like a month ago man

#the way he phrased it gave me an ick that is all #in my tags i said it was a joke that didn’t land clearly his wife that was there is fine w it #answered #anonymous

[carefulfears]

the deadalive era is so good because it’s just scully having lived her literal entire worst nightmare. feeling more like a failure (a disappointment) than she ever has. she’s failing as a mother (is her child safe even inside her body? where’s his father?). she’s failing as a partner (she can’t be him, she can’t find him, she’s “just not capable”). she’s failing as the war widow she was bred to be (her mother could’ve done it). she’s alone and she’s planning a funeral and decorating a nursery at the same time and she’s praying, and praying, and praying. and then mulder’s suicidal ass resurrects from the dead just mad as hell

#i wanted to tweet this but i also wanted more than 280 characters #txf.txt #deadalive #scully looks a suicidal man in the eye and tells him he’s her answered prayer etc etc #in ‘three words’ the way she just CRIES and whispers his name when he’s so shut down and will not acknowledge it. stays with me so much #i think what i love so much about this season is that there is no respite. there is no magical moment where everything is okay. #the first thing we see when mulder’s awake and healed are flashbacks to what happened to him. his scars. his awkward jokes that don’t land. #there’s no pretending that all that matters is being alive and coming home to someone. it matters that living is hard too

BTW I actually started playing the Ssum again. Took me a full year break but I finally got over my losing 2 days of chats because of a bug lol. Which was good, it allowed me to not care as much about getting all the chats, so I wouldn't mind missing the morning's one (I set that shit way too early lol).

I finally finished Teo's route. He had his moments where he made me smile or stressing over his reckless ass (looking at you day 198-199 èé). I'd say he's a good route to take layed back since he's so... boring? Lol it sounds bad but he was actually my favourite. His route is entertaining but most of the time if you miss a few chats you don't miss anything important.

I started Harry's route now, I'll be on day 69, and he is funnier than Teo, MC was often rude to Teo and it would bother me since he's so sweet but with Harry I don't have to pull my punches if I wanna throw them haha. The confession day was awkward to say the least, but apart from that he has his sweet moments too. Though I really can't get over his beef with Teo for a character that doesn't seem to care about a lot of things. I used to think he had good intentions but was just lacking social skill to say what he wanted during MoM. Turns out he fully admitted to act like that for his amusement :/ he's so kind to us I forgive but ngl that cost him his place as favorite. I'll see what the rest of his route give me to work with.

I didn't play June's yet, I want to start it solo when I'll have no other routes going on.

Now, the reason I'm making this post, the new route, my new favorite after only 4 days, Henri. I don't know what about his writing made me lock on him so hard but he has my heart ! Lol

In only 4 days he got me smiling, giggling and kicking my feet like an idiot more than the 100s days of Teo and Harry combined (though tbf Harry still has ample room to surprise me) . Maybe it's the way he teases us, his sad mew mew side, his glasses (that he doesn't wear often enough! Come one cheritz his video call sprites SCREAM for their presences!), his beautiful darling blue eyes with white pupils, his voice. I wanna hug him, squish him, talk about him. I'm already sad we only have 14 days of him. He makes my heart flutter n.n

If I didn't want to finish Harry's route as soon as possible, I would've put it on stand by to just focus on Henri. I love him so much, I don't want to miss a single call or chat from him <3

#the ssum #henri #this is also my announcement that I'll probably post some of my fave part of his chat #bc this man got WILD on the bedtime chat and I wanna share that lol #he's my bastard(affectionate) #not all of his joke/tease land but he's funny too #that he gathered a lot of negative attention from June's route is quite unfortunate #and from what I heard kind of understandable #which makes me extra glad I decided to wait before playing June o/ #from what I heard he's really sweet to so I'll try him at some point #but Henri is 100% such a good surprise #if i didn't already have a mha fixation he'd definitely be it now #but since mha is close to finish...👀 #maybe I'll be lucky enough to not get in the no fixation limbo
