I forgot Barnaby literally just adopts Jones off the street at a murder scene like he's a stray kitten.

You know, trust is like a mirror. You can fix it if it's broke, but you can still see the crack in that motherfucker's reflection.

--Me at this YMU Wenclair arc

#over and over I just hear those two fucking say that line #i love angst #trust in me when i tell you they'll make it #i'm not writing a million words to throw them all away #and ooooooo i am so excited for that final barrier to finally SMASH #i can't wait. #i get goosebumps thinking about it #god i love those two

Gideon killing crux, who was so cruel to her, and having a breakdown over the revenge not feeling good broke me btw

#gideon nav #tlt spoilers #nona the ninth #the locked tomb #forget all the stuff with harrow. that awful fuck was so abusive and watching Gideon find out you can’t take that pain away… #oh I’m howling she didn’t fucking deserve that #the way she tried to drag some… repentance out of him by throwing in his face that she’s literally the child of god and he still called her #worthless ohhhh im so sick. she believes it she believes she’s worthless and this was the one thing she learned about herself she staunchly #believes finally has some worth - finally would change how she was treated growing up - and that worthless worm throws it right back to her #face AUGHHH #he didn’t even give her the grace of the fantasy of ‘they would respect me if they knew. they’re REGRET it if they knew’. TAMSYN MUIR IM GON #NA GET YOU

Can I just say that I never thought I'd be reblogging so much Bubbline content in 2023. Like Obsidian back in 2020 was already a nice little treat. But to think that five years after the finale we'd have not just a revisit but a resurgence of love for Adventure Time. From a fandom that wasn't exactly dead, but was definitely dormant. I mean Bubbline shippers really fucking won. We went from a hypothetical backstory, to a confirmed history, to a slow burn handled with the utmost care. Concluding with confirmation to the audience that they were officially back together. And then they decided to show us their lives post finale and that was already shocking considering how the media treats sapphic relationships. Especially in animation. But then they gave us a spinoff show with the genderbent versions of this amazing ship and that's cool, I love Marshall and Gary. But they didn't just leave us with that, oh no. They ALSO gave us our girls, both in canon and as an au (which was phenomenal). And basically confirmed that they truly are soulmates no matter the universe. Even when they don't fall in love, their destinies are entwined. Like...that's unheard of. We're just barely getting storylines like that in live action. And they gave us that in a cartoon! And they weren't even a background ship. They were THE ship. I just... I've never been so happy. And the creativity that artists have now that we have more design choices and more outfits. It makes me cry every time I see it across ALL of my socials.

#bubbline #marceline the vampire queen #princess bubblegum #marshall lee #gary prince #gumlee #and i know they've added more sapphic storylines to animation #but it's still usually a subplot/throw away (korrasami) #or a kyd storyline with one of them ending up heartbroken (pearl) #or the show gets cancelled (owl house) #so to have bubbline go from a 'blink and you miss it' plot #to an in your face 'they're girlfriends' plot #and then not have it end with the finale and pretend like it didn't happen or wasn't important #like Obsidian was a whole half hour dedicated to them and who they were before the main show started #and then f&c could've left them out of it and just focused on gary and marshall #but no. the girls were still a part of it because their relationship is a core part of the show #I'll never shut up about them i fear #original post #vernalfey

good days aren't easy to come by

#simblr #ts4 legacy #valentine gen 4 #fun fact for context on why i care so much abt him finally choosing to play the piano on his own #but it's gonna get Long so strap in #basically. the guitar he used to have had been with him since he was like...... my god. probably about 15 #he bought it at a yard sale for pennies from an older woman #it belonged to her late son originally and it wasn't even . supposed to be a part of the sale in the first place. she just took a liking to #devin and figured that really it's better in the hands of someone who would use it than for it to collect dust in her garage forever #and he couldn't really practice at home. his parents... are not exactly the kindest people you've ever seen #he was too afraid of them destroying or throwing it away so he'd sneak off to god knows where and learn how to play it from old #youtube videos on his busted up phone #it quickly became Everything to him. his most prized possession. and it wasn't a shitty guitar either. the son was a professional musician #that's how ellie and devin met in the first place. he was playing at the market she used to sneak out to in the evenings to #and she instantly knew . this boy is going places and really they might as well go together #enough backstory of the backstory. long story short: he was struggling to make rent eventually and was out of vinyls to pawn off #so he had no choice left. it was either that or he'd get kicked out along with his sister. who was still struggling a lot w/ addiction #so he sold it. and it broke him. he's literally just not been the same since losing it #his sister stole him a guitar from a music shop she'd go to sometimes but it just wasn't the same and he had not played an instrument since #until now anyway #still not a guitar. but maybe someday #or he can find his old one and buy it again......... #lmfao if you made it here congrats. you win nothing bc im broke but i do respect you

thinking about zuko and sokka having their first kiss because they get put on a kiss cam and sokka gets so excited about it he grabs zukos face and plants one on him before cheering and doing a dorky dance on screen.

#a small throw away moment but i think it’s v cute and v them #you have to admit it’d make a really cute getting together fic #and what if the fic ended with them finally together and on the kiss cam again and make a whole show of it #zukka fic #zukka

#i should've just bailed and written another story when i had the chance #i'm not joking i've never fought a fiction piece this hard before. usually because i'm not writing for specific deadlines #and not a piece so big. and not one that's gonna be workshopped. i wanna blow them away but if things keep going the way they are everyone' #gonna tell me the pacing sucks and it feels pointless and the characters feel really confused. I KNOW. I KNOW THAT. FUCKK #i'm the type to do about 15 passes before i let someone see my 'first draft' and i'm just not gonna be able to do that if i want to get it #in time for a workshop. every day i delay is making things harder for my classmates y'know?? but i've been writing like 1k words a day #and it's still not done. GUHH #I DON'T LIKE WRITING THESE CHARACTERS THAT MUCH THEY'RE NOT FUNNY OR ENDEARING AND THAT'S MY LIKE. #MAIN SKILL AND VIBE WITH SHORT STORY DUOS. BUT NOOOO I HAD TO MAKE THEM DIFFERENT CUZ I WAS SICK OF DOING #THE SAME DYNAMIC OVER AND OVER. BITCH THIS IS YOUR FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRIED AND TRUE GETS THE BLUE (RIBBON)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head #going to work on it some more. fuckk #the voices aren't consistent and i'm trying to make it clear that this is toxic bird yuri and not a mother/daughter thing but the maternal #themes are kind of fucking with that but they're important and i don't wanna get rid of them but it feels forced cuz im forcing it #sigh. i'm gonna have to cut the yuri. these two don't work romantically at all. what a waste of time. #i watched the entirety of mnthly girls' nozaki-kun in the past two days while avoiding writing. did you know that? the lengths to which i'l #go? anyway it was fun i appreciate fellow creative agony and i uh never knew how they did screen tones and wasn't expecting that somehow #so i learned something new (hooray). anyway back to. fucking. bird story stuff #i'm so mad i hate these two (<- lying. just pissy) i hate this story (<- mostly exaggerating. throwing a tantrum) #eughhhhhh i just wanna lie on the floor and cryyyyyyyyyy (<- completely deadpan irl. not That upset just kind of sick of shit) #i'm so burnt out and it's only gonna get worse. ughh #why can't someone just come in and write it for meeeeeeeeeeheheuhhh (<- would hate that)

I need more content of Tim's jealousy when other siblings come in and become close to Dick. Like every time someone says Damian is Dick's favorite it hurts my heart a little cause I know how Tim would feel.

It's one thing for a younger sibling to grow up with you, cause like at least then you all have your defined roles and it's like what you know so you aren't stepping on one another's toes, but like it's something completely else to have a sibling who is already grown up come into the family and become siblings with your sibling.

It is just like that longing feeling when you see them together and like they haven't known each other as long yet they seem closer to your sibling than you are, and everyone knows they are the favorite and you are just like how do they get along so well with so little effort.

I need more Tim and Dick content like this. The boy went from being Dick's only sibling still around (aka no competition for being brothers and nothing to compare it to) to being like 1 of 5 of dick's siblings, and I know this also goes in reverse where the newer sibling is jealous of the older two siblings for already having the established bond, but I dont see enough of Tim having bitter envy of how close Damian and Dick are despite not knowing each other as long, like you want angsty relationships DC, show me this instead of just everyone trying to kill Tim, show me silent envy that grows more and more as it slowly decays a sibling relationship instead of like a weird ritual where if you wanna be apart of the family you have to attempt to kill tim

#sometimes i just need angsty tim #not tim getting targeted by siblings or tim getting annoyed at siblings #just Tim who finally became brothers with his idol and hero and formed a relationship with having to watch as it goes from their small #contained group of dick tim Bruce and babs where tim is like the best brother dick has got to everyone especially damian coming in #and tim feeling crowded out and jealous as damian and dick become closer than tim and dick ever were and tim slowly pulls away #and at first dick not even noticing and tim feeling guilty every time a dispute comes up and feeling guilty over how happy he feels when #damian ticks dick off and tim starts throwing himself into other things and flakes/cancels on things he and dick have planned and #finally one time tim and dick are sitting around and tim is like i miss how close we were and dick laughing is like well you're so busy now #and tim is like 'well its not like you need me anyway you have damian and jason and cass and duke and- nevermind' tim cuts himself off #dick is like 'timmy you know im still here for you just like before' and tim is just like 'yeah sure whatever' and heads out and then dick #starts noticing that tim is keeping him at arms length so he keeps trying to connect and he sees how tim keeps getting close with others #but that he refuses to with dick and then the jealousy is both ways and slowly they start to come together again as brothers and things #arent quite the same and probably will never be but they are still brothers and they love each other #but things are complicated when you go from the only sibling to having like 5 siblings and i want that explored more #i want these complex sibling relationships dc. give me this over trying to kill tim. there is more to siblings than the cain instinct. #anyway thats my rant #tim drake #dick grayson #batkids #batfam #bat family #batsiblings

"All political parties face a trade-off under a first-past-the-post electoral system. Governing depends on attracting a broad coalition of voters, inevitably involving compromises that leave a party’s base disgruntled.

So it is perhaps unsurprising that as we move closer to a general election, the discontent from the anti-Labour left who claim there is little to distinguish Keir Starmer from Rishi Sunak in the battle for the premiership is only getting noisier."

"The argument is threefold: there’s no meaningful difference between the Conservatives and Labour; Starmer supposedly can’t be trusted because he has dropped pledges he made in the 2020 leadership election to shift his party towards the centre; finally, the “Tories are toast” and Labour can’t lose, so disgruntled left voters can safely vote for other parties, such as the Greens.

With Labour so far ahead in the polls, the urge to debunk these sentiments may seem like an expression of paranoia. But all three aspects of this narrative are comprehensively wrong, including the reassurance that it is safe for anyone who would prefer a Labour government to vote for another party in Labour-Tory contests."

"But what this underplays is the number of Labour-Tory marginals where a relatively small vote for other left candidates could cost Labour a win. James Kanagasooriam, of the polling company Focaldata, has written about the “sandcastle” nature of Labour’s likely majority; his forecast is that there will be many more marginal seats in the 2024 parliament compared with 2019. If more than predicted numbers of those who voted Green in the locals decide they can afford to do so in the general election because Labour is so far ahead in national polls, that will boost the Conservatives.

Next up is the idea that Starmer’s dropping of some of his leadership pledges makes him dangerously untrustworthy. But this is the product of a system in which the tiny unrepresentative slice of the electorate that is a party membership pick their leader before voters choose their prime minister. Anyone hoping to be PM would have to shift position between a leadership selection and a general election: a Labour leader’s most important job is to connect with potential voters, not to coddle members with the comfort blanket of a policy platform such as the “free broadband for all” 2019 pledge that was roundly rejected.

Liz Truss provides a cautionary tale of what happens when a party leader seeks to impose a membership-endorsed platform on the country without a general election. For Starmer to have stuck to his 2020 leadership election pledges, instead of spending the past four years understanding voters, would have been fundamentally anti-democratic.

The most egregious aspect of the anti-Labour left argument is there isn’t much to choose between Starmer and Sunak. Yes, Labour’s “Ming vase” election strategy has seen it take a much more cautious fiscal approach than many of us would like: it has effectively adopted the Tory macroeconomic worldview and with it a set of spending constraints that no one sensible thinks either party could stick to in the wake of the election.

That is frustrating for anyone hoping this election campaign may illuminate some of the tough trade-offs facing Britain; but it would have been incredibly risky for one side to go it alone on this. The alternative is Labour walking into the trap and handing the Conservatives a “Labour tax bombshell” election campaign.

From a commitment to scrap the Rwanda plan to making clear that in an ideal world Labour would discard the two-child benefit cap, there are plenty of reasons that it is preposterous to think that a Starmer government would make the same trade-offs as successive Conservative governments that have financed billions of pounds worth of tax cuts for more affluent families by cutting tax credits and benefits for low-income parents. The six pledges Starmer launched two weeks ago may be incremental, but Labour needs voters to believe they are deliverable, and they are indicative of a very different set of priorities than those that animate Sunak."

"Starmer is not without weaknesses, as shown by the days he took to clarify an interview last October in which he gave the impression he thought Israel had the right to withhold power and food from Gaza. But there is no doubt whatsoever he would make a vastly more compassionate and competent prime minister than Sunak. To encourage people to put that outcome at risk by casting a protest vote against a Labour government that does not yet exist is perhaps the ultimate form of luxury belief campaigning."

#i dont particularly like starmer either #and labour have dropped a lot of policies i love and picked up some that I'm highly sceptical of #but those battles can be fought once theyre in power. right now all you lot are doing is doing the tories work for them #uk politics #labour winning is not a guarantee. WE DO NOT HAVE PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION #if the left vote is split. the tories WILL benefit #let's vote tactically now. for whatever party has the best chance of getting the Tories out in your constituency #be that lib dems. labour or greens. and once we've done that. we can all write to our mps and make our feelings known #i for one would love to finally have an mp that actually fucking listens to their constituents and makes themselves avaliable #my tory mp barely ever even bothers to vote #that's not democracy is it #I'll be voting for a lib dem mp as she's the only one with a chance of beating the huge majority my current tory mp has #and then I'll be sending her a shit Ton of letters asking her to stand up for Palestine and trans rights and disabled people #and stand against child poverty and landlords and over policing and over militarisation IN PARLIAMENT #as someone in a tory safe seat this is my only chance to maybe have my voice in parliament heard and it drives me up the wall #that you are all telling ppl to throw that kind of chance away

Finding out Odysseus's maternal grandfather was Autolycus, a literal thief and son of Hermes, implies to me that he did not get his cunning from Laertes. It also makes me want to write about Autolycus and Anticlea as a father-daughter crime duo scamming all the rich and powerful of Ancient Greece. Because you can't tell me the man wouldn't have taught his daughter a thing or two.

#greek mythology #greek myth #odysseus #the odyssey #autolycus #anticlea #i'm just saying these characters are obscure/minor enough that you could get away with a few creative liberties #could even throw in some references and allusions to the odyssey if you're feeling fancy #maybe make some use of that grove from the final book of the odyssey

i think instead of putting the blame on the writers of the series we as a fandom should shift it to the corporate office like im 101% sure that's where it went wrong. also netflix has a bad habit of cancelling great shows with latine leads like that may not be what happened here but it DOES happen

#and thats just capitalism babey!! #it kinda feels like the writers had a lot of ideas they didn't wanna throw away #and as they were nearing the final episodes they just went OH SHIT and with good reason! #eight episodes was not nearly enough to finish telling that story #felt like there were so many storylines they wanted to explore even in the season like some of the dialogue was definitely hinting at smth #but then!!! you get!!! eight!!! fucking!!! episodes!!! #and yes i agree that there are a few parts that are just bad writing full stop #but it couldve been such a great show if it only had more time #and it feels wrong to put the entire blame on the writers without saying a word to the corporate offices. i know one of you fucked it up #carmen sandiego #carmen sandiego 2019 #carmen sandiego netflix

canon moreau really is like 95% Implications and Potential and 5% this kind of underwhelming villain who flip-flops (lol) from getting a beloved character to betray one of his core Things in one episode to just losing in this really unspectacular way in the next, huh

(like the implications and potential are where fandom & fic can sink their roots most easily, especially in the absence of explicit answers, so I get it, it's just… huh)

#canon moreau has interesting negative space if you are willing to look #but also I get what people mean by him being dull #I even kind of agree #it's just that the negative space can be fun to poke at a bit #he's interesting because of his impact on eliot's story #and he's scary because eliot is scared of him #even if we as the viewers don't see much to be impressed by #we see his impact in the movements of the leaves okay this is getting away from me a bit #I wonder if part of the reason the finale fell a little flat is because we DON'T see any of that in eliot's reactions anymore #he gets protected from the dude's shittiness and we get protected from what made the character compelling #if it really WAS that the team were protecting eliot I think we should at least have seen some of the angst of that #and then yes moreau dooming himself and metaphorically falling on his face #and eliot being cheerful enough to break down the door to nate's room to tell him it's a good morning #moreau #the san lorenzo job #me: churns out post after post on moreau angst #also me: he's actually quite a dull character #[throws hands in air]
