#here we go 1/6

[shimzus]

@pontevoix​​ : a starter for tanaka.  ❜   

“  do you think it’s strange—— graduating ?  ”  the words are out of her mouth before she even realizes it, spoken with an ease that makes her suspicious. she thought she was ready for it, but maybe not. as if to elaborate, more for herself than for tanaka, who she didn’t expect to have a heart-to-heart with, shimizu adds,  “  … i was thinking that we’d only just reached the point where everyone can play together as a team. we’re properly making use of everyone’s skill now.  ”

her unspoken meaning: will it be chaotic next year without sawamura and azumane as starting players? she’d like to think that things will smooth over quickly, since hinata and kageyama are no longer fighting, but that’s no guarantee that they’ll be able to pull themselves together on the court. more than likely not, they’ll spend another few months squabbling without direction before they find their rhythm again. at least, that’s her bet.

“  i’m not worried about you, though,  ”  shimizu states flatly, and just barely flicks her eyes in his direction. she pulls another volleyball into her lap and picks up her rag, wiping it clean from sweat and dirt. the motion is repetitive and calming, but in another month, it’s likely that her hands will forget the feeling. still, it gives her something to direct her attention towards, since she didn’t really mean to pull him into a deep conversation, and she doesn’t want him to believe he’s getting any sort of preferential treatment.

he’ll be fine when the third years are gone. he’s already matured more than she expected this year. but…  “  but it’s a good thing you’re not going to become the captain,  ”  she punctuates this with a small laugh and a smile—— a skill she’s also matured through this year.  “  don’t give ennoshita too hard a time, tanaka.  ”

[lucy-ghoul]

can't believe a show based on a videogame (usually games adaptations are notoriously bad, which isn't the case here tho) gave me the beauty and the beast/twisted mirrors/enemies to traveling companions/ruthless antihero+optmistic but still badass heroine who takes none of his shit/age gap but make it sexy dynamic of my dreams. as much as i love maximus and i think he deserves the best writing ever because 1. he's a clever deconstruction of the aspiring Knight bro who's actually a bit of a loser and, as much as lucy, sees the world in black&white at first and then doesn't get what he thought he wanted but what he needs (or at least i hope he'll eventually get it), and 2. he's a cutie and i want an epic love story for him too, it's very funny how they tried to give us a puppy kind of romance and the tumblr girlies still fixated on the "toxic ~she bites his finger off and he cuts hers off and sews it on his hand in what we'll pretend it's a symbolic marriage rings exchange or whatever~ asshole who used to be a nice guy/good girl™ with a lot of spunk and hidden anger but unshakeable morals" kind of relationship.

#mind you idt the writers will ever have the guts to go for this pair or anything and i'm perfectly okay with the maximus/lucy romance #but still. they tried to give us the wholesome love story between two cuties with a killer side #and the fandom went ~mmmh we kinda want for that girl and the noseless radioactive ghoul to fuck nasty actually #shhdhdhf i'm sorry but this was so predictable to me. conosco i miei polli #also. i don't fully understand those who see it as a father/daughter thing? just because it worked on tlos #doesn't mean we need the same kind of dynamic here #1. despite him being an actual father (or at least. he was 200+ years ago) i've never seen a less paternal character than the ghoul lmao #2. lucy is an adult woman. young but in her mid twenties i guess? cooper had (and maybe still has) a daughter but the kid was like. 6 or 7? #lucy doesn't need a daddy she's a grown up. stop infantilizing women all the freaking time #let them be fully equals!! let them be bickering road trip companions/a killer squad/tentative allies who eventually form a real bond #i SWEAR if the writers go full parent/child bs with them in s2 because they're more popular #(at least on ao3. i don't expect the same level of insanity from the general audience) #than the canon ship i'll riot. idt they will but still #..... maybe they should go for a hot max/lucy/coop polycule instead. that would be interesting lmao #vaultghoul #fallout #val rambles in the tags #val speaks #txt

[compacflt]

for todays wip wednesday i thought it would be kind of fun to do a little wips vs final drafts post just to kind of illustrate how far back first drafts can really start. so following the famous 5+1 fanfic format (4+1 cause u can only post 10 pics on mobile)—four wips (left) & their related final drafts (right) + one that is still a wip (bottom two)

#in the doodle those are supposed to be their eyebrows fyi #this post is just cause we writers like to suck our own dicks sometimes #an anon sent in a follow up ask after my writing advice post talking about little notebooks… #i have gone through three 200 pg notebooks during the drafting of some of this content lol #one 200 pg notebook was basically ONLY slider one shot content #1. the little doodle that led to the cyclone one shot #2. ayrmy…. this doesn’t even count as a 0.5 draft #3. this is not the first attempt at this scene. this big blowup scene went through like a dozen different drafts #& it’s still kind of whatever imo #5. here are my original notes/outline for wwgattai :) it’s all i had to go on for the entire story #the first concrete image for the entire story i had was of mav begging ice to quit smoking #and ice quitting only cause he asked out loud #6. this is the WIP. female mav for a prompt fill. will then lead to of course! lesbian charliemav. #thanks for tolerating all my wip wednesdays :) they’re just kind of fun for me even if nothing makes sense out of context #top gun #top gun maverick #tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #icemav #top gun fanfiction #edts notes #btw in the cyclone excerpt epaulettes should be shoulderboards whoops #ignore the weird tag numbers there were originally 6

[buckttommy]

Weird how people in this fandom will be like "Buck and Eddie are on different trajectories" and then be mad when Buck's trajectory takes longer to come to conclusion than Eddie's lol

#like literally... Buck has never had the narrative opportunity to heal from/confront/recover from anything #Genuinely at what point during the past 5+ seasons had Buck had an actual opportunity to confront the Daniel trauma? The root of #his abandonment issues? #Season 4 he learns about Daniel #Buck Begins provides crucial Buck information and that's the last major moment/episode he has in that season #Suspicion Eddie gets shot #Survivors Eddie calls back to Buck's trauma but they don't go into it #Season 5 Buck is retriggered by his family fracturing/Eddie needs him/etc #Season 5 finale Buck breaks up with Taylor and is trying to have a clean slate #and then Season 6 where we are now #like at what point was there ever a moment in the narrative where Buck could have just... gotten over everything? lmao i'll wait !!!! #Because in case everyone has already forgotten it took 3ish seasons for 9-1-1 to introduce and conclude Hen's med school storyline #Judging by that timeline Buck's arc is unfolding exactly the way it should #like I'm sorry you guys are only here for Eddie/Buddie but this is literally how shows/stories work when you want them done right #and with the appropriate amount of time needed to reduce plot holes and maintain character consistency lol #ummm anyways !

[tardis-technician]

Anyone having feelings of concern in regards to the new season being 8 episodes instead of 10-13?

#this feels very Disney plus to me (we can do everything in 6-8 episodes) #paradox posts #or that RTD is writing 6 of them and Moffat is writing 1? Not a lot of collab going on here.

[makerofmadness]

aight I seem to inevitably end up posting incorrect quotes for like everything I get into. So.

this time I'm shaking things up by making it specifically "Spooky's characters as famous tumblr posts" (uh and I. Looked up websites that just like compiled famous tumblr posts via screenshots so if you're wondering why some of them have usernames censored and others don't Look idk that's just how they wefd)

I have no idea if half of these even actually Fit I just thought this would be funny uh Spooky's fandom tell me what ya think I just got here pretty much dnndndndnd

Probably could've been funnier but idk.

Oh yeah and the last ones (which I have variations on, so I saved them for the end):

Aight there we go.

#Spooky's jumpscare mansion #incorrect quotes #<- i always come back to this for like every fandom istg #sjsm protagonist #sjsm spoilers #karamari hospital #Spooky's dollhouse #Dear God I used a lot of characters.

[itwoodbeprefect]

i was tagged by @luredin to list 7 comfort films and tag 7 people, and also, longer ago, by @goneahead to post a top 4 of comfort movies, so i'm going to go with seven because it's More and when it comes to movies i'm going to need More. thank you both for the tag!! 💖

shelter (2007) - top 1 comfort movie maybe. it's just Vibes.

buchanan rides alone (1958) - for what it is i've perhaps seen this more times than any person should but "very dear to me" is one of those previously mentioned things that it is, so that's alright.

10 things i hate about you (1999) - the classic! ironically one of the newer movies on this list but it's The Classic to me.

the electric horseman (1979) - robert redford saves a horse and jane fonda is the real hero for walking! in! those! boots! and hey. soft animal activism cowboy/reporter romance what more could the heart want.

zachariah (1971) - queerness and anti-violence and cowboys and music and those darned Vibes again. they get me every time!

hard core logo (1996) - look. this is objectively not a very comforting movie. i know this. but it's catharsis and Feelings and by now deeply familiar fucked up people and that IS comforting (to me).

wilby wonderful (2004) - i am. not currently coherent about this one. check back in a year or so.

i'll try to tag some people who i haven't seen in connection with this game yet, but i'm mostly guessing: @littlestarsailor @beansterpie @smileylover99 @flownwrong @batvreason @eg515 @spaceradars ✨

zero pressure of course!

#i guess i like 1) westerns 2) romantic movies that gently vibe 3) romantic westerns that gently vibe #and going by 6+7 maybe also 4) canadian movies. but i couldn't tell you if that bears out statistically outside of this post #and oooh if i had more spots we would absolutely be getting into 20s-60s romcoms but i don't have those spots so i have to just say. #there should be at least one here probably. but if i add one i have to take another movie out and i can't face that kind of pressure #* #tag stuff

[sparring-spirals]

Placing such a hard time limit using the Calamity was exceptionally good and also inherent to the tragedy of it and im thrilled by it. Don't get me wrong, forced time limits in tragedies and doomsday stories are common for a reason. They work, and they work well. but just, within the context of EXU Calamity, its really getting me.

because its always about not having enough time, right? its about expecting that you'll have more. There's complacency with power, and mistakes, and wealth, but maybe what the Ring of Brass were most indulgent with was time.

(you always think you'll have enough time, more time, another replenishment, another deal, another broadcast, another batch of bright children. youll get another time to hash out an argument with your father. you'll get another time to stay home with your kids and get to know them. you'll get another time to apologize and explain and fix your broken relationship. there's just something else, right here, right now, that should get done first.)

The Ring of Brass were rich, in so many ways. They had power, and wealth, and a million responsibilities, and so maybe they would've argued they had ZERO time, actually, and they just needed to sort everything else out first, and they'd have enough time to figure everything else out later.

but that's the point, right? There's never really a good time for this. for the important stuff, or the end of the world.

(Laerryn was, perhaps, the primary person in the Ring Of Brass operating under a time limit from the get-go, trying desperately to get the Leyline working, because if it wasn't now, it would be never. Because Quay wouldn't live that long. But even she assumed that was the extent of the time limit, that for Everything Else, there would still be time.)

(And is that such a ridiculous expectation? Is that so foolish of her? Of all of them? You never expect the world to end. You don't have infinite time, sure, but- you've got tomorrow, or next week, or- just not now.)

And so it is tragic, but it is also weirdly satisfying, to see the way time got shattered and stretched and sped throughout that last episode. The first second lasted forty minutes. They get maybe two hours at the hands of a damned demon, and its the best blessing they've ever had. Rounds are six seconds. A broadcast is maybe thirty. A healing word, a Wish, a Wall of Force, all buying paltry seconds that make all the difference. The dawn is coming, Avalir is landing, there's so much that has to be done, and that won't get done. We watch them make hard decisions, over and over, and over, and we keep saying "there's not enough time". Because of course there isn't. There could never have been.

#look i dunno alright ive just got a lot of thoughts and feelings about time and priorities and tragedies #critical role #cr spoilers #exandria unlimited #exu calamity #exu calamity part 4 #meta #the ring of brass #my meta #speculation #theres like 5 trains of thought in this meta but im feeling too lazy to break it down into multiple posts so here ya go #its something like 1- the ring of brass were rich and complacent and that extended to assuming theyd have time later #2- the general role of time limits in tragedies and the 'i thought we would have more time' as a very classic sort of setup/delivery/etc #3- sense of urgency and fear and also /purpose/ that the time limit provides working BEAUTIFULLY for calamity specifically #4- laerryn was operating under a time limit before too. the decisions you make under time constraints are not always wise. but youre trying #5- theres not enough time. they shouldve gotten more time. there is unique tragedies for each of them that they didnt get more. #6- time IS a soup #ok im good. this is why i havent written a lot of posts after the finale they all look like this. also ive been busy. i Also dont have time #spar speaks #narrative meta

[clochanamarc]

i need to vent in the tags abt the housemate, and i need to find a new word for this person bc "mate" is much too friendly rn.

[everythingsinred]

controversial opinion of the year is that i dont think barbie was that great bc its message was all over the place and also they didnt realize they had made kens the women in their story so it just seemed bizarrely misogynistic to me

#little anya things #me mid-movie: ahh i see so the kens are women in this lil scenario #the movie: ACTUALLY no we have no idea what we're doing #before u come at me. 1. 'women view each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments #but for the attention of men' #2. the general vibe of condescension towards ken's efforts on beach echoing specific condescension of men towards women's interests #that 'oh u pathetic thing u' vibe was so strong #3. ken being shocked that a woman respected him enough to ask him for the time. an event that HAS NEVER happened to him before #he is so touched by the feeling of respect... 4. nobody knows where the kens even live. #miss representation quote abt how 50% of the population is disinterested in the other half. #5. barbie feels instantly objectified in the real world whereas ken instantly feels respected in a way hed never been #6. they dont even have genitals so ken arent actually men and barbies arent actually women bc thats not how things work in their world #listen the first half of that movie i was like. so kens are women here. #then theres the typical revenge narrative where they start the 'patriarchy' that wasnt rly all that creative but fine #but then they got all confusing and barbies are women and kens are just men who have been rightfully oppressed all along?? even tho #theyve been women-coded this whole time. okay #7. kens go back to having no government representation or right to vote and this is sposed to be funny. i guess? #im not mad at the movie for being misandrist bc it wasnt. it was just trying too hard to do too many things #that it ended up just seeming misogynistic to me #not to mention it was doing the bare minimum and is just step one in a huge capitalist ploy to start making a bunch of toy-related movies #im genuinely shocked i havent seen any criticism abt it on tumblr when its such a sloppy film throwing out a confused message #in order to make money and sell dolls. what exactly am i supposed to take away from this.... it just seems so bizarrely hypocritical #for mattel to make a movie where they feature as side-antagonists who essentially learn nothing... just for mattel irl to make more money #off of everything they mentioned in the movie. like. what changed. #also america ferrera's character existed just to give that speech and otherwise she and her daughter were not relevant to the plot at all #it was funny and aesthetic and all but the more i think abt it the more im not all that impressed. idk. am i missing smth #i dont think so. i disagree w most ppl's analysis praising it. idk idk

[transgenderastarion]

This is why im fucking aplatonic bc i either date someone or i become their family and every single other person has fucking screwed me over

#friends ive made in the past year: 7 #friends ive kept in the past year: 1 and shes on the thinnest melting piece of ice youve ever seen #as soon as shes done with her rehab im dropping her #bc im just kind of in the middle of it rn but i figured out she extorted $500 from me #and she keeps making comments on the state of my house and my money and my time and shit and im like #you are coming over here to smoke a bowl of weed. not to microcriticize every part of my life #she literally had the AUDACITY. the fucking GALLLLLLL. to say 'wheres all ur money going? why dont u guys ever have enough' like we havent #been sending her half our fucking money for 6 months to pay her back!!!!! #FUUUUUUCK #and the previous person also lost us around $700 and paid us back in $125 in food stamps despite having $5k in her bank #i HATE PEOPLE. I HATE PEOPLE I WANT TO BE A HERMIT #nobody is EVER capable of just being a decent fucking human being everyone always has to have a fucking angle or a play #or just end up a cold hateful bitch (person 2) #having friends makes me want to crack my phone in half #aplatonic fucking pride or whatever. fuck irls #vent

A boy asked me on a date for Friday at 9 pm and my first thought was literally ‘that’s too late for my cat she gets upset when we don’t go to bed together’ like.

#im actually going on this one bc 1.) we have good conversations 2.) he’s only living here for 6 months #3.) its time so even if I want to cancel I won’t let myself
