#sonic movie #sonic 3 #theory #i dunno man i just- my checkov's gun senses have been tingling for a while now #(watch me be wrong though)

I’m still not over this whole interaction, because honestly Dupree’s live-to-kill antics never get old to me. of course she stabs Tarvek out of gratitude, that’s how she shows affection

Gil’s used to it - consider the scene right before he gives her the wasp antidote - he’s working through her attacks without batting an eye, clearly something he’s done before. so of course he treats the incident like she spilled her drink at dinner, that’s the bit he and Klaus have been doing with her since day 1

BUT AGATHA - the last time she saw Tarvek get stabbed, it was in the chest, with a fast-acting, gruesome poison, and she was helpless to do anything about it. and this time we see her intimidate Bang like she’s never intimidated anyone before. every other time we’ve seen Agatha intimidate someone, it was a show of bravado or exasperation or fury, but we’ve never seen her go stone cold like this, and it is literally chilling could you imagine volume I Agatha making Bangladesh Dupree practically shit her pants?? no way in a million years she clearly loves Tarvek to have her protectiveness of him bring that out of her, holy fuck

#this isn't getting into the dramatic irony that is bang's motivation to kill agatha's best friend #can't wait for this checkov's gun to fire #girl genius

Wouldn’t it be so funny if Absolutely Nothing happened to anybody and we were all theorizing and ripping our hair out for nothing?

If They continue to do and say more and more “doomed by the narrative” stuff and then nothing at all comes from it?

#checkov’s gun but it’s a water pistol #tmagp #the magnus protocol #I can imagine the cackling as tumblr explodes if season one ends and just. nothing happens. #the computer is just a computer and the government job is just a government job

Lunar: Don't kill me, I have brothers that care about me!!

Eclipse: You think I give a shit about that?

Lunar: That wasn't a plea for mercy, that was a warning

Sun and Moon, bursting into the room: GET READY TO DIE AGAIN, MOTHERFUCKER!!!

#tbh i hope eclipse gets brought back #thats gotta be a checkovs gun #he was a pretty good villain tbh #sun and moon show #sun and moon show incorrect quotes #the security breach show #the security breach show incorrect quotes #sun and moon show sun #sun and moon show moon #sun and moon show lunar #sun and moon show eclipse

Also did I miss something or did they literally give us a Checkov’s gun by telling us Aziraphale has a gun license and a gun hidden in his library, only for them to use fire extinguishers as weapons instead????

#good omens #gomens spoilers #like this is very funny to me but it seemed such an obvious checkov gun moment that for it then not to come up again baffled me

[possiblesword]

Dude where is the Bas Lag fandom. These books are fucking awesome. What are you guys doing.

#its an example of a series with almost TOO MUCH cool worldbuilding #like mieville will introduce the most badass concept as just a one-off or a side note #you think its a checkov's gun but no #its just some idea he shot out without much thought that would be enough by itself to get me to watch or read something otherwise terrible #AND #WORKING CLASS LEFTISM #these books fuck #perdido street station #bas lag #the scar #the iron council

However Many Lines Regardless of the Date

(I think the original game title is Six Sentence Sunday? But numbers are made up and so are dates; they can be thrown away when convince calls for it.)

@words-after-midnight compelled me to actually get some writing done today, read his 19 lines here.

I feel like I've tagged too many people recently, so leaving this tag open and I'll instead bother people next Sunday.

Robin on a Beach passage:

As endless as the beach was it was not empty. I passed countless towels, umbrellas, sand castles, and other signs of life. The only thing this sand lacked was people. My walk eventually brought me to yet another sign of life: a beach house. My home for the past however long. It was small, cozy. Only had a couple of rooms with the largest being a kind of study with a large window facing the ocean. The study held what few items I considered mine: a satchel full of odd trinkets, a journal sprawled out on a desk, and a revolver inside said desk.

#Oh look its a gun #someone go tell checkov #but yeah thanks again for the tag #I don't write often enough and it's nice to have the short term goal of #“Write for this game” to keep me going #writeblr #Lexical Earth #Richard the Robin #writeblr game

finished watching fate/zero

#tw: kelly #fate #fate zero at its best is SHADOW THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG YEAH WOOOOOO #and at its worst it's like. not to invoke a tvtropes but it's incredibly narmy #i didn't hate it and i don't think it's bad but i wouldn't say i'm a fan #also that uh #female character writing huh #i don't think fsn is perfect about gender but i compliment it so hard for how fully realized its female characters are #and coming off of that directly into fate zero is incredibly jarring to say the least #in the first episode every time a female character is introduced it felt like i was like #physically watching a checkov's gun being loaded with manpain bullets

Well…if there’s one (1) good thing about having a crush, it’s that when I’m (for the moment anyway) not worrying about the other person’s boundaries and terror about whether I’ve stomped on them or not + my own frustration at how slow things are to just communicate verbally and directly instead of constantly dancing around nonverbal reads (that are two-way, I suppose but still no substitute, can still mean just about anything)…

…yeah. I do let myself be selfish. Acknowledge what I want instead of burying it so deeply away from my consciousness to not “take up space” I suppose. Finally give myself some damn permission to fall in love with another person “despite” being ace, and “despite” being chronically ill and struggling with my mental health.

And what is it I want?

To feel cared for. Cherished. By someone here. To wake up and have someone greet me with a gentle embrace mindful of the constant chronic pain especially in the mornings to not accidentally pinch things, but not treating me like glass, either. To be given autonomy instead of having it taken away—to do things together, FUN things, without being made to feel guilty about that “taking away” spoons from chores or “well why won’t you just work a job then!” but also respecting my need to rest periodically or take a longer rest after the fact.

To feel heard. To trust that there’s love enough for us to disagree and feel angry and frustrated and sad around eachother and with eachother without judgement, without the risk that things are forever one disagreement or misunderstanding away from falling apart completely or worse.

And please tease me. Teasing is a love language just as much as communication and encouragement and acts of service and finally being held. It’s verbal play, and I trust you to not bully me.

And…I’ve shown as much as I can, I think. I know you’re trying to mirror at least some of it. And I think I’m reading you correctly, but I wish I understood why you seem so terrified to talk directly to me.

#tiger’s musing #screw it. ‘don’t say i’m in love’ or whatever #and well. it will fade eventually. and I am very practiced at Behaving and keeping my feelings to myself #legit always have to do that the very few times I’m liked someone This Ain’t ‘Just’ Platonic Is It #because…guess what. the other person’s comfort and boundaries matters more to me #and friendships aren’t a ‘consolation prize.’ they’re the Good Shit #it’s…just that much harder when there isn’t that Direct Communication With Frequency for me #…bUT!! if he didn’t like me…why does he keep looking at me Like That?! #…right. hang in there for a few more weeks. I did hand over a script as.. #…yeah. wonder if he realized /he’s/ the reason I finally found my nerve to write it the way I want #and for all my current ‘will you just RELAX and TALK to me yET?!’ frustration? he’s my muse for joseph! #I needed to see what a GOOD man even remotely looks like just as much as I needed someone like him #to accidentally or intentionally show interest (look. if ya gripe about wanting to do something. PUBLICALLY #(and it’s within my skills to make it available. guess what. I’m gonna call your bluff #(I’m too much of a writer and actress. if I see Checkov’s Gun I’m firing it!) #…does he realize that I basically told everyone off for pressuring him via social media and semi privately? #that the only reason why I started using facebook again was to get people to leave him alone? #(who knows. but that + him…kinda witnessing just How Bad my mental health is? is…when I think there was a turning point. maybe. probably.) #…I suck at socializing in Initial Stages. so much. it’s so uncomfortable #but…screw it. I’ve learned that I’ll use what power I have to change environments and make opportunities #even when it’s (deeply) uncomfortable for me to do so #…because sometimes you gotta blink first to make someone else feel safe. and hopefully latch onto that #and…yeah. guess I am patient. but also griping the entire time
