#i've been thinking about this for months
y'know what else i'm thinkin about?
splash! au steddie where steve meets the merman that he would swear up and down was real when he was little; the little merman he'd see every time his family would visit the coast.
steve, who moves permanently to that (now much bigger, touristy-adjacent) town and runs into (no, literally, smack into) a fully naked (very handsome, holy shit!) man when he's on his way to the little shop he runs on the coast early one morning.
steve gives him his sweater and shuffles the softly smiling (vaugely familiar???) man to the shop and gives him a spare set of clothes that he'd had there from the remodels he did a couple years ago.
the man follows steve around the shop all day, poking around the books and tchotchkes the shop sells, listening to the tourist stories steve tells him, never speaking, until steve closes up early, taking him just outside town to get him some more clothes and such.
at one point while at the store, the man wanders away and steve panics, eventually finding him gazing wonderously at all the screens in the 'home entertainment' section, completely entranced by the multiple screens playing MTV and blaring music through the speakers for sale as well.
He tries to explain the non-speaking-ness of his new friend to the employee trying to close up their part of the store when the man suddenly speaks, "Hi Steve, how was your day?"
The employee ushers them out and the pair leave, walking back into town. Steve asks, "So what's your name, anyway? Did you learn it from the TV?"
The man rolls his eyes, "I had a name before today, sweetheart."
Steve's stomach flips at the term of endearment, assuming it's just a product of whatever commercials he may have seen today, maybe he thought it was a normal thing to call your friend..they are friends, right?
"O-okay, what is it?"
"It's kinda hard to pronounce in english,"
"Try me, I wanna know."
The man gives him a look, but does, squealing out something more suited for something living in the tanks at Sea World than for a person.
He grimaces at Steve's bewildered look, "I told you."
"Uh.. yeah. Well hey! That's okay, we just need to find something else to call you."
"Like what?"
"Well lets see.. There's Andrew?"
"No.."
"Joseph?"
Another no.
"James? Isaac? Brad? Seymour? John?" more and more names and 'no's until they're nearly home (and no closer to a decision). "Wayne maybe? Where are we... Ah! Edmonton." Steve mutters to himself. Only a couple more streets to go.
The name 'Pablo' is on the tip of his tongue when he's stopped by "Edmonton! I like that one."
Steve snorts out a laugh, "Edmonton isn't really a name, it's--" he cuts himself off this time, seeing the horrible kicked puppy look on the other man's face. "Hey, no, okay, Edmonton it is! We'll call you Eddie for short!"
Eddie grins at him so bright and sincere in that moment, that Steve can feel it hit him, and snap something into place inside him.
He's going to fall in love with this man.
He can feel it.

It feels like every other week, someone makes a post, lamenting that the fic writers for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel missed the point of the show and we focus too much on the Midge x Lenny romance and not enough on Susie/Midge or Midge's success without a man.
And I feel like I need those people to understand that if we've missed those big points (we haven't. It's just that Midge x Lenny are fun and real life is hard and this is a hobby), then they have maybe missed the other big points of the last season:
1. Midge failed in every aspect of her life but comedy. Sophie was a cautionary tale she did not heed. "All Alone" was a cautionary tale turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy. She drove her children away, which means it is unlikely she has a close relationship with her grandchildren. Her best friend is 3000 miles away. She has a string of failed marriages. She has celebrity "friends" who likely don't know her as a real person.
Midge has comedy and a half-hour phone call with Susie every day. That's not a happy ending. For a woman that so valued connection and family for the whole series, that's fucking sad. If she had ever expressed a desire to be alone, it wouldn't be. We know it's not what she wanted. It's sad.
2. The season 5 flashforwards are, largely, about unexplored, unacknowledged grief, and the narrative tries to make it seem like no big deals. Lenny dies in '66. Rose dies in 'in the mid-70's. She loses Abe, and likely Noah. Moishe and Shirley. Joel dies in '04. Again, she drove her kids away, whom she did love and tried hard for even if she wasn't mother of the year. We dont get to explore her falling out with Susie in any real way and the grief in that. The grief of so much failed love. We never get to explore any of those things with Midge. The narrative intoduces these ideas and then moves on, asking us to shrug those things off, but how do we do that? Surely Midge wouldn't, and didn't, but we're asked to just keep it moving, as if these things don't deserve more time.
Instead, we get to see a whole season of boring late night drivel along with these underdeveloped snippets of future we're asked to shrug off because "Midge did it!! She doesn't need a man!!!!!!"
And in the meantime, she ends the series with...nobody. nothing but Susie's disembodied voice over the phone.
And if the entire point of the show was for Midge to end it lonely in her fame, what the hell was all of it for?
I'll stick to my fic.

Yes to TLT being animated like Castlevania, but in particular adapted by the people who wrote the one scene where everyone in Dracula's castle is debating whether or not Vampires can travel over running water.
ShdhshGsgsvs you are so right.
I still didn't watch Nocturne but nobody can convince me that a TLT Castlevania like adaption would be a bad idea.
They animated Alucard getting pegged by twins.
I believe they can animate whatever TLT throws at them.

everyone who played deltarune chapter 2 knows that gag where the annoying dog runs kris over in a fisher-price car, but may i suggest something even funnier:
the cash register in sans' grocery store is a toy. he's got a soundboard hidden below the counter in order to imitate a functioning scanner and cash register, neither of which he actually has. sans has a setup that every other adult in hometown has theories and opinions about, but will never bring up for fear of looking silly. when a customer shows up he swipes a fake scanner over their bar codes, maybe presses a few buttons on the register, and then adds up the total in his head. with sales tax, obviously

don’t really wanna get political but i am but sjms portrayal of ireland in acotar rubs me the wrong fucking way. like its obvious to anyone thats ever looked at a bloody map that prythian is mapped out as the uk and hybern is ireland. hibernia is literally the latin name for ireland?? ireland was under british rule for 800 years while the country went through a famine (where over a million people died) and it was literally illegal to speak irish (our native language). obviously the history runs much deeper, but implying that ireland is the ‘evil/bad’ place, when not taking into account their history with the ‘good guys’ ain’t a good look. ESPECIALLY since she uses irish folklore as a source of inspiration for her lore ( anam caraif - the celtic idea of a soul friend , morrigan - irish godess of war ). if an author is going to base their fantasy world geographically around two real places, who have a very fucked up history, maybe she should have done some research??

God if I could animate I'd make a killer animation of You're Divine using athoth a go go.
That song fits so fucking well in my opinion
"You're the love I always wanted"
"Free falling through the time after a live petrified cuz there's nothing left to stop my fall"
"in the void we can hold each other"
"till our brains and our guts splatter all over the fucking sidewalk"
Just AUGH

ugh not to talk about tiktok on here but i saw this video a while ago that was like "all those pink bimbo girls on here are probably TERFs" and the comments were like 'Just say Chrissy' 'you dont have any proof of Chrissy being a TERF' etc. and op was like "guys I never said this was about Chrissy" but then started saying "I dont know if Chrissy is a TERF" and it was like he was sayingg Chrissy's name but he wasn't saying their name etc... anyway that pissed me off so bad. Chrissy is literally non-binary and has what seems to be a 99% lgbT friend group. Another thing is they're very vocally pro SW, which like no TERFs are
