My favorite genre of sci-fi is “small research team goes to a distant plant/star/space station/black hole/etc to study something weird there, and then the weird thing there Wrecks Their Shit.” Can’t get enough of it. “Small research team goes to a deep undersea research station” and “small research team goes to a deep Antarctic research station” are also very good variants of this as long as they get completely rekt by a weird mysterious alien thing there. I love it every time.

It is also important to note that these stories can range from “TPK” to “lone survivor” to “a few losses but most of the main characters come out of this harrowing ordeal alive, if changed” to “everyone survives this harrowing ordeal and they have a new friend now!” but the more characters survive the better the story better be. If it’s a TPK/lone survivor I eat this up and will love it no matter how bad it is (Underwater (2020) starring Kristen Stewart I am vaguing you here. Stupid movie. Saw it on the big screen and loved it). But if most/all of the cast survives, the writing and the story and the characters better be goddamn amazing (All Systems Red by Martha Wells and Wolf 359 by Gabriel Urbina and Sarah Shachat I am vaguing you here <3 )

#However many short stories I love dearly and think about constantly are in this camp also #‘Dead Meat’ by Maria Haskins. ‘The Green’ by Lauren Beukes. ‘All That Touches the Air’ by An Owomoyela has elements of this.#‘The Brides of Heaven’ by N. K. Jemisin also has elements of this #And then podcasts—‘Wolf 359’ obviously. ‘Janus Descending’ is everything I like about this genre. ‘Micro-Cosmos’ does this too which is why #I liked it before it went on Indefinite Hiatus.#and of course this is also about The Thing (1982). Love The Thing #This is just a very good premise and I love the combo of ‘exploring an alien planet’ and ‘oh shit oh fuck oops’#‘Tides’ podcast is mostly just the exploring part and less Shit Getting Rekt but it’s very good also #And I am still holding out for ‘Primordial Deep‘ to get more bloodthirsty #science fiction #tropes #OH ‘Event Horizon’ with Sam Neill was stupid as all shit. It was also this though and it was Fun. It was not actually good but it was fun

redemption arcs where instead of the character having to do through the arc with the person they wronged and have the end goal be forgiveness they go through the arc with a completely different character that has no involvement in the main conflict with the goal being self improvement>>>

#feel it opens up alot more character exploration possibilities with the character being 'redemed' where you can explore their end of the #conflict (which tends to be less focused on as the actual conflict in relation to whoever they wronged is what happens in-story) without it #being 'apologism'#and the arc is more about self improvement than forgiveness/fitting the main characters status quo #it also feels alot more fair on the one who suffered from the conflict because to be able to say 'this person needs help but I can't give i #to them' is rlly good #obviously there are times where both characters SHOULD work together for overcome the conflict in question. but with the common/popular #structure of redemption arcs rn (I blame zuko personally) we need more variety #I'm growing to love this trope it's rlly fun #esp if your're a fan of rarepairs/are more interested in the villains pov #current examples floating in my brain: atlas/denkou. 0124ji. morro/echo (but as a long term citrusshipper...when am I not thinking about #them? XP)

HI I Love your Posts about trollhunters and Danny Phantom.

they are things i gad trollhunters is different form Danny Phantom

Jim only date one girl and everyone agrees that she is the best Choice for him.

and the main creator isn't a Dick.

but my Question for is if Dash were to become Like Steve was Expose the Ghost world Just Like him how do you think would've involved and this Time his memory stays Like Jez did.

Hi, thank you! Before I say anything else I would like to clarify that while I spend a lot of time comparing themes between the two shows, I don't really feel like one could replace the other - they're both so unique in their execution! Honestly, all the characters in both shows have personalities that couldn't be copied over between the two without the status quo of each show drastically changing. I don't really think of Danny Phantom and Trollhunters in terms of "Danny and Jim are the same person," but more like "Danny and Jim experience things that are interesting parallels of each other and I like to explore those narrative parallels," which I can understand being a kind of complicated distinction.

There definitely is a thing with both of these shows where they pick sort of Traditional Character Roles to some extent, like The Bully, The Hero, The Best Friend, The Romantic Interest, etc. So thinking in terms like that, Dash and Steve do fill kind of similar roles in their shows. I am pretty sure that Dash knows ghosts exist by the end of the show, even if you're writing off Phantom Planet (the final episode that people like to ignore happened). There's an episode where all the adults in Amity Park are brainwashed to go on a "cruise" which ends up just being a way for some ghosts to use them as a power source - but because the adults are brainwashed, the kids are the ones that have to save them, and Danny uses his parents' ghost tech to work together with all the other kids to fight the ghosts. This includes Dash. They all fight ghosts on the deck of a pirate ship, and Dash and Danny stand back to back as Dash says, "When I wail on you tomorrow, I'll be wailing on a hero. But I will be wailing on you." At this point in the show, Dash and other people know about and are fans of Danny Phantom... I don't think his memory gets wiped of the incident, but Danny does get in trouble for using the tech without asking and that makes him "lame" again in the eyes of the other high schoolers. I think that's meant to be the show's explanation for why it doesn't get brought up again later.

I'd love to consider what would happen if Dash had actually been more active within the ghost fighting community - I'm pretty sure he's one of those people who thinks it's "weird," so he'd probably need some convincing. But it would be super interesting if he learned that Danny was Phantom and joined the team! I'm not the first person to say this, but still. It would be cool. I did really enjoy in Trollhunters when Steve and Eli had just formed Creepslayerz but they were trying to keep it on the down low, and acted comically to cover their tracks. I imagine Dash would have to do something similar to keep his jock friends in the dark about Danny's secret... In general, DP never really gave us that big of a look into what Dash's life is like outside of school, other than throwing a party when his parents aren't around. If he joined the team in some way we'd be able to see more of his backstory and he'd become a much more fleshed out character!

And I know you didn't ask for my opinion on this, but I do wish that Steve had more development after the end of Trollhunters and 3Below. Like, he stopped bullying Jim and Eli, he got a girlfriend - and now we learn he's really scared all the time! And they make him kind of like a knight in Wizards but he's still like, terrified of everything, and bad at very simple tasks to an almost annoying extent. It makes me wonder if the trio really explained very much to him, because we didn't see any explaining happen on screen... and then it felt like they were hinting that Steve would learn some cool stuff from Lancelot, but that never happened. And WHY didn't Aja WARN HIM that he could become pregnant like that! That was so out of the blue too. I really liked how they had Steve develop as a character over the course of Trollhunters, so when he kind of stopped changing for most of the other TOA content, I was a little sad.

I guess this is just an appreciation post for bully characters that decide to become nicer. They deserve more love, for sure.

#ghostly posts #danny phantom #trollhunters #ask #theslayerbrother #theres definitely pros and cons between the two shows #generally trollhunters comes with better writing and pacing #most listings for dp have episodes out of order which doesnt help #with dp youve got a lot of lore dumps with hardly any explanation or elaboration #which i do feel leaves more room for fanworks to explore #trollhunters does come across to me as a better story with a stronger ending #and there's objectively less cringeworthy moments in TH #but also like. one of them is about ghosts and one of them is about trolls #they have different subject matter so ultimately the comparison cant go the full extent of saying theyre the same thing #cause they arent #they just coincidentally because of the 'teenage superhero' genre use similar tropes #and i like lookin at how those tropes apply to a world of ghosts #and a world of trolls.... two different things #i just also really love the strickler/vlad situations where theyre fighting the protag while the mom they wanna date is in the other room #very fun and silly even if the fight is serious sajgdhgsjh

BABES WAKE UP. DUNGEON MESHI TRAILER DROPPED

come talk to me at anime north tomorrow about dungeon meshi im all caught up 🥹🫶

youtube

seeing this tankobon obi from a while back with the anime announcement on it feels so nostalgic now!!!

edit: Lines in Motion is so real for this one. love their video essays

#dm really is such a fun exploration of jrpg and dungeon crawling mechanics #and im so in love with how #the series asks questions about common rpg elements and spins them into true existential horror #the series really is a lot more than the episodic nature that people might find to be a challenge to trudge through at first #it honestly feels like im reading like. a manga version of hieronymus bosch's garden of earthly delights. a lot of the time #dungeon meshi #i love how it knows when to get serious and when to lighten the mood #i often don't like anime style comedy at all a lot of it is based on tired tropes and stuff #but kui really is a master at comedic timing #in the later chapters the story becomes serious without losing its core message: to share a meal with others

I’m sorry I have to speak my truth lmao it’s a little bit hilarious that kingpin is stylistically offered such flourish and creativity, when writing wise he’s so fucking generic.

#another day ANOTHER POST OF ME BEING ANNOYED FUCKINGGGGG KINGPIN IS GIVEN ROOM TO BE A THREE DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER AND AARON GETS SUBTEXT #AND THE CHOICE BETWEEN NEBULOUS VILLAINY AND FAMILY HE LOVES #LIKE IM SORRY BUT EVEN W HALF THE EXPLORATION AARON IS MORE THAN TWICE AS INTERESTING AND YET WE HAVE LIKE. THREE SADMAN KINGPIN MOMENTS #IM SORRY SPIDERVERSE THIS IS THE ONE AREA I THINK WASNT THAT. INTERESTING. GIVEN HOW FRESH AND REVITALISED EVERYTHING ELSE FEELS #LIKE. COULD WE GET JUST A SMIDGE MORE INSIGHT INTO WHAT LED AARON HERE? SO WE KNOW WHAT HE GIVES UP FOR MILES?#LIKE IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE MILES I *LOVE* THAT ITS MILES BUT ITS LIKE #DEVOID OF TENSION BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY DEVELOPED THE DIMENSION OF AARON IN REGARDS TO HIS FAMILY #LIKE DID HE GET IN TOO DEEP WAS THIS A SECURITY THING HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN HAPPENING WHERE THE PROWLER DOESNT BLINK AT BEING ASKED TO KILL #A CHILD #AGH #tunes talks critical #tunes talks spiderverse #I don’t even dislike kingpin lmao (I don’t rlly think anything of him beyond the fact I’m glad miles kicks his ass) I just think it’s almost #a bit of a waste that stylistically he’s interesting and fun to look at and watch be animated but writing wise he’s so generic #he provides nothing new to the trope motivation he’s embodying #the story his actions set into motion is interesting. the actual character is like. just stylistically interesting execution of a trope that #is just not that emotionally compelling for me. esp when nothing really NEW is being done w it

Five Times Ulmo Refuses to Let the Sea take Maglor and One Time He Doesn't

Summary: Maglor wanders because he wants to, but also because the sea won't take him no matter how hard he tries.

Content warnings: depictions of depression, suicidal thoughts and several suicide attempts (all, however, failed, and there is a happy ending).

Almost thirty years pass until Maglor hears about Celebrimbor; by that time, his nephew's cruel death at the hands of Sauron is already old news to most. He weeps and weeps for no-one to hear, and then he places his harp on the sand, carefully, reverentially; it is the only part of himself he has been taking good care of. His hair is matted and his skin is sunburnt and covered in little cuts to join the old, fading scars of battles, and his clothes are torn, and the bandages around his hands are grey and filthy.

Then, he walks towards the sea. Waves start licking at his feet, gently at first, until he does not stop pushing forward until they begin to pull at him. He walks on and on, and finally, a current gets a hold of his shin and begins to pull him under. He tries to inhale the water into his lungs.

Even in the deepest pits of his despair, Maglor has always wandered and lamented. The sea has been his trusty companion. He was never going to let it claim him, and it never tried, for it was never his enemy. But now, Celebrimbor is dead.

Maglor has always been water where his father and brothers were fire. That is why he alone lived; but like the sea, he is condemned to eternal loneliness this way. Not even Ulmo has a spouse or siblings among his own kind, because the sea is lonely, and Maglor longs only to be part of it; but the water will not enter his lungs. Perhaps even the sea is too blessed and holy to touch him.

It spits him back out, casts him onto the sand, trembling and spluttering. He remains on his knees for a while and weeps on, sobs shaking his entire body. Then, he sits down in front of his harp and starts playing. The cold makes the pain in his hands even worse than usual, but he barely feels it at all. He just keeps playing and playing because that is what he has always done, until he doesn't feel a thing any more.

(Oh Tyelpë, little Tyelpë.)

After that, for half an age, he remains as he was, a phantom on the shores, cursed and damned many times over, the last of his kind. He has nothing left but his harp and his voice, but those things have always been his own. His family has left him, forsaken him, and the last keepsake of his father's - the thing that caused them all this misery - is long buried beneath the waves. He hated it, in the end, and after he cast it away, he sank down on his knees and begged the Valar, listening or not, to keep all three as far away from him as possible. Perhaps that is why the sea would not take him that one time; perhaps he would have gotten too close, and for fear of that, he wanders north and never returns to that beach. It is cold there, and his hands always hurt, but perhaps he is farther away from the Silmaril now.

When he hears that Sauron was defeated, at the end of the Second Age, he rejoices. It is only much later that he hears how Gil-Galad fell - a hero's death, he hears a Man in an inn say with pride, as if it was a good thing.

In that moment, Maglor feels nothing at all.

The boy was supposed to be safe with Fingon.

He was supposed to be safe, far away from the Fëanorian curse of fire, but he fell to it, anyway, was slain by the fiery touch of Sauron's hands. (Maglor can only hope it was quick.)

For the first time, Maglor wishes he had not been so ashamed all this time, wishes he had gone to him, or at least to Elrond, but now it is too late, and this time, he walks as if he was already dead and only his legs were not. The harp, freshly oiled and stringed, falls out of his limp arms and drops down onto the sand with a dull thud. He walks into the water, and again it won't take him.

He tries again, over and over again, but it always washes him back ashore. He tries over and over again and does not give up until he collapses from exhaustion.

Maglor wakes in a bed. Elrond is there, and Elrond will not let him go. Maglor has lost too many brothers and children, oh, especially the children, but Elrond is still there, and something inside him unclenches.

It takes a while until he speaks, and even though the harp is sitting on his bedside table, he never sings, not for centuries, not until one day, Elrond places two tiny, hot bundles into his arms, eyes moist with pride. Maglor, at first, recoils. He cannot be trusted with something so precious.

But then, he looks into their little faces and vows to himself that as terrible a son, a husband, a brother, a father he was, he will be a good grandfather. The best he can be. Therefore, he opens his mouth and sings them a gentle lullaby. They do not fall asleep, only look up at him in wonder with their large, grey eyes, and Elrond smiles.

Maglor was a shadow of his former self even when Elrond met him, and now, he is a shadow of that shadow, but the children, Elrond's twins and later little Arwen, bring out a side of him he believed long lost. He is still that same broken man he has become, but whenever the children are around him, a small, tiny part of him is that young, carefree elf playing with his little brothers and cousins in Tirion.

Throughout the Third Age, Maglor is alright. Everything still hurts, and his fëa is still wounded and cracked and broken in places, but he is alright, most of the time. He is with family, and he is not alone, and this, he thinks, is the closest thing to home he will ever have again. He takes it, gladly and with open arms. Joy does not come naturally to him anymore, but he eagerly picks up every little crumb of it he can get, even when it becomes exhausting.

Still, he cannot bring himself to step on the ship with Elrond and Galadriel. He tells himself he wants to stay for a bit with the children, and Elrond gives him a sad smile, as if he takes what Maglor insists is a temporary goodbye for a farewell.

Maglor tells himself it is alright, but when he watches the ship leave the Havens, grief suddenly begins to shake him, and, numb again, he makes another half-hearted attempt. Perhaps the sea will claim him now, he thinks to himself.

He barely takes three steps into it before a large wave comes and throws him backwards, and he lies there, sprawled out, his feet in the water, his torso and arms dry, and stares blankly up into the sky all night. The next morning he gets up and rides back to Rivendell as fast as he can, his boots still damp when he arrives, takes his supper with the twins and pretends nothing happened.

Elladan and Elrohir take the last ship, and Arwen finds eternal rest in Lothlórien. Both times, Maglor tries again, and both times the waves wash him back ashore, coughing and spluttering, and both times he lies there curled into himself, soaking wet and freezing, but not even the cold will take him.

He knows he won't see home again. Not Valinor, not his family. They all are either there or wherever the Edain go after they pass, and he will never go to either place. Where he will be sent - what eternal darkness means, he does not know, but he wishes he could find out only for the slim chance that he might find his brothers, and for the certainty.

He walks and walks. He slowly stops wearing his boots again, then gradually stops mending the tears in his tunic again, changing his bandages, combing his hair. He no longer sings, and the harp is still at Rivendell. One time, he went back, and saw that Elrond's house was overgrown with flowers, and wept at the beauty of it, then returned to the shores still empty handed.

The last time he walks into the sea, nothing prompts it, no special, tragic event; he does it on a whim. Not even because the pain has finally grown too strong, but because he wants to see what happens, or so he tells himself. He tells himself he has nothing left to think or feel, to sing or say, no more steps to walk on this earth.

It makes no sense, in a way; he is a storyteller, and that ending of his story was perfectly tragic and perfectly indefinite, walking and lamenting on the shores to infinity. He should treasure that tragedy, embrace it, live it, but all he wants is for it to finally come to an end.

He opens his mouth to pray for the first time in thousands of years, to ask Ulmo to finally take him. Instead he begs, begs him to finally let him end it, to let him have his last choice.

Then, he feels the water pull not only at his leg, but his entire body, and it pulls him down. He closes his eyes, and inhales, and he is so, so cold, and the very last thought on his mind is that he should have gone home when he had the chance.

Then, he coughs, coughs until his insides hurt. His fingers dig into sand, and the sun burns down on his raw, freckled skin. He notices that the sand is just a little bit whiter than the sand on the shores of Lindon, and it glitters in the sun like snow, except it is warm, so warm, and his hands no longer hurt. He takes off his grey old bandages with trembling fingers, and there are fresh, pink scars where his skin had been raw and open for over two ages.

Warmth spreads in his chest, and as he staggers to his feet, not far from the white, pearl-bedazzled houses of Alqualondë, he also sees Tirion glisten in the distance, golden and homely, and he knows that all along, the sea has been his friend.

#maglor #silm #fourth age #fourth age maglor #angst #angst with happy ending #my writing #i was really unsure whether to post this but here it is #also yes i know this contradicts my actual headcanon of what happened AGAIN in a different way but i haven't posted that one anyway #only yet another fic of what in my mind DOESN'T happen #so its fine #its fun to explore how this train wreck of an elf would do if left to his own devices #spoilers not well #my favourite trope is maglor being forcibly reunited with his family and realising that it's more fun to be happy #also gil galad son of maglor #as implied here #hehe #silmarillion

there’s only so many videos i think can be made with the dahlia storyline

do y’all think that at some point (IN THE FAR FUTURE) that if erik is still writing and making stories, he’ll work on a different connected universe??

#tbh i love the dahlia storyline but i think there’s only so far he CAN take it ya know without dragging it #as much as i’d love vamp bf videos for the rest of my life bro can’t work on this stuff forever #i’m thinking into the FAR future btw not expecting him to do this like next week or smth 😭😭#i think it’d be fun for like. a high fantasy setting with erik’s writing ya know #and also cause i like how erik plays with the tropes of the fantasy bf audio rp stuff #i think he’d have a *TIME* exploring more fantastical stuff #i know there are other asmr people who do high fantasy stuff #i just really like erik’s writing and if sometime *IN THE FUTURE* if he ever decides to write smth with that. i’ll be first in line to #DEVOUR THAT CONTENT #but in order for that to happen he’d have to finish everything going down in Dahlia and like.#that’s gonna take. AWHILE.#this is just food for thought.#i think i just really want him to write an enemies to lovers storyline #sorry yall 💔💔#redacted asmr #redacted audio #asmr boyfriend #boyfriend asmr #redactedverse

So you know the time travel

story where the young protagonist is fighting a great evil entity and said entity is revealed to be *plot twist* none other than the protagonist themself- gone back in time to ensure that whatever events happened in the Entity’s timeline that made them “evil” continues to happen? (Dan or “Dark Danny” from Danny Phantom for example, Eon from Ben 10 in a looser sense)

I kind of wish there was more of the opposite.

Where the dark “evil” entity is desperately to trying STOP the protagonist from whatever tragic event or catalyst that led to their path but STILL failing and watching their past selves fail over and over again like they had.

Never having even the chance to explain- no never having a chance at all because of the damn time loop

bonus points if their is a formerly trusted figure helping the Protagonist become the Evil Entity, not necessarily out of malice but just trying to guide them

#AngryComet Rambles #Tropes #i dunno I thinks there’s fun to be had exploring the tragedy of being the own hand at your demise/doomed fate #Something about the inevitability of the past and being unable to move forward-#only DESPERATELY reaching back to try and change what can’t be undone #I might explore this is more later idk I’m running on empty today #Writing #writing inspo

ngl I played botw most of the day but I finished my sdv farmer’s oc background so here it is cause I’m actually kinda proud how it came together.

Eris was born and raised in the Gotoro Empire to the Bennett Family. Their family was wealthy, steeped in trade and old money. At a young age, she was promised to marry Liam Sutcliffe. Prestigious and well-liked, the Sutcliffe's have several family members serving in the Gotoro Empire's military.

The two have known each other for a long time, even before they were aware of their engagement. Always friendly to her, it was quite the shock when, after the announcement of their arranged marriage, his attitude changed. Privately, he became controlling, berating her in how she presented herself and behaved in public, and gone was her apparent childhood friend. When she broached the topic with her family, they only agreed that Liam was right to do so.

There was an attempt to adjust to her new life. Her standard of life didn't really change, she was still provided for quite well, but it was now with the angle of making Liam look better and she began to wonder if he ever felt anything, even friendship, for her at all.

The reality of her new life came crashing down on her when she tried to arrange alone time for them, to horseback ride and perhaps take a picnic, and Eris found herself completely brushed aside. Her attempts were only met with the assumption that she wanted to be satisfied sexually but when he tried to kiss her, she felt nothing, and feigned having an upset stomach.

Resolved to do something about this, Eris planned a retreat for them before their wedding. She would go ahead of him to one of their vacation homes and he would join later.

Unfortunately, Eris's ship met with disaster out at sea. A storm caught the ship and several lives were lost. Eris, however, was washed ashore in a small place called Pelican Town.

However, when she awoke, she had no memory of she was save her first name.

Eris was found by one of the residents of Pelican Town. They had little idea of what to do with her, as she recovered well save for her memory loss. Eventually, it was decided that she could reside in the abandoned farm for now, as it was the only place open and the former owner's descendants had given up their rights to it.

It was suggested that she try growing plants to fill her time, and perhaps she would take a liking to the work. So, Eris started a new life with very little idea of who she was.

#ooc #I really wanted to just explore more of the gotoro empire #since it's really only briefly mentioned #and then i got trope-y with it #tell me it wouldnt be dramatic and angsty to fall in love with someone in pelican town #only for liam to come busting in finally #or her memories to come back #idk #it just sounded like it'd be fun to me #i might write my own stuff with her #(with harvey ofc)#(idk what else was expected)
