Shout out to Darius for coming up with the cutest nicknames yet saying them in a mean way. He really said Songbird (threatening) and Little Prince (derogatory)

it’s just like. how many captain holt lines of dialogue live rent free in my head? how many scenes have made me get emotional & watch & rewatch & ponder over them? it was such a big deal to have an openly gay black male character whose gayness was never the butt of the joke on tv in the early 2000s. then rosa diaz was literally the first character I ever recall hearing say the words “I’m bisexual” on a popular network tv show & captain holt’s compassionate support of her was this thing that just was just simply not often a thing portrayed quite how it was on b99 on television in my experience at the time among multiple lgbt main characters. not only that but I don’t want to reduce raymond holt’s influence to his sexuality. he was funny in a unique, dead pan way that again just totally manages to cement itself in so many peoples consciousness. how many people can hear “BONE?” bellowed in disapproval in their heads? 😂 or picture the pineapple slut shirt? & how many people with complicated relationships with their dad latched onto the jake & holt found family dynamic that was just so beautifully written & acted? brooklyn has constantly been on in the background of my life because it’s one of those shows you can just watch endlessly & never get tired of. hundreds & hundreds of hours of my life have been spent chuckling at this show. & I’m just one sit com fan. we’re talking about one of the most influential sit coms of the modern age. I hope andre had some idea how much he meant to so so many people.

#andre braugher #brooklyn 99 #I’m sorry celebrity deaths don’t usually hit because it’s like well I can still enjoy their work idk I didn’t know them personally #but like. Brooklyn 99 has been such a huge part of my life. such a constant background element #I’ve seen so many episodes enough times to practically rehearse them #& Andre braughers acting truly is just so genius #he’s so talented both comedically & dramatically. what an icon

Love that Hemlock was all “the clones’ loyalty is their greatest weakness” mere moments before his shit hit the fan.

He was so smug… until the Bad Batch broke free.

Because at the end of the day, no matter how predictable and easily exploited clone loyalty can be, it is dangerous when you’re on the wrong end of it.

Hemlock knew he was screwed as soon as Wrecker launched that metal hood across the room. He made the classic villain’s last ditch effort move by cuffing Omega to himself and getting out of there. Hemlock panicked and grabbed the best bargaining chip he could find because of clone loyalty and the sheer determination and bad assery of the Bad Batch.

It’s called irony, bud. Get fucked.

#not to mention that snatching omega was the WORST POSSIBLE move he could make #like he signed on to his own execution there lmao #the bad batch #tbb season 3 #tbb spoilers #tbb season 3 spoilers #royce hemlock #tbb omega #tbb wrecker #clone force 99 #tbb finale #irony #i am absolutely cackling at how fast his attitude changed lol #truly iconic

Finn saying the kids (the Party) grew out of D&D now they got older (suggesting that older ppl cannot or do not play D&D) when he is literally sitting with The Duffers, the two older/adult people who are hardcore D&D lovers and play the game when they're adult people..... will never stop being funny.

LMAOOOO that whole interaction was something else

Finn literally tries to save it by saying "it was more arcade than DnD" n S2 (which Matt concedes to) only for Matt to double down on the "its okay for adults to play DnD" point—and have Millie then say "from experience, right Matt?" trying to sass him?

I'm like 99.9% sure that was the moment he decided to death-by-1000-cuts even mlvn's cute moments....and seal byler with a "lets just play dnd for the rest of our lives." Like...this smile ldjhflkdjdslk they really caught Matt choosing violence in 4K

#He was like 'you may have won this convo. but you'll lose the war' & proceeded to write the most disasterous version of mlvn imaginable #friends calling their love 'bullshit' #having her new dad hate their relationship too #fighting bickering & miscommunicating the WHOLE TIME #having mike parentified like hopper and brenner #breaking them up not once but 2.5 times over three seasons #and then having will in every one of their scenes all of S4 for the audience hates them too LMFAOOOOO #an icon. truly lmao #duffer brothers #matt duffer #asks

Listen, the truth is, the last year has been weird, you know? And I mean, you know, Max and Lucas and Dustin, they’re great. They’re great. It’s just… It’s Hawkins. It’s not the same without you. And I feel like maybe I was worrying too much about El, and, I don’t know, maybe I feel like I lost you or something. - Mike to Will in s04e04

#if mike gets vecna'd i want this song to start playing bc its the representation of him feeling like he lost will #and that could be one of his worst fears and nightmares #plus its bowie and iconic! #byler #mike wheeler #will byers #stranger things #byleredit #stranger things s4 #stranger things spoilers #byeler #mine #gif:byler #theres always the distinction between will and mike and the rest of their friends ok #the way the ending of s3 was framed as mike already missing el was incredible when you rewatch it after s4 bc you see all the other things #he looked back at wills house and then he needed his mom's hug the same way after he thought will died in s1 #he just keeps losing will and i want it to escalate until he needs to shout what will truly means to him so he will stay!! #i live for these parallels ;_;

#like thats so funny to me #he did not care at all #cyrus was like ‘u guys are good together’ and tj was like ‘EWWWWW GROSSS i’m not dating her wtf 😭😭😭😭’ #obsessed #the closet was glass for him truly #i miss them sm #i forgot how beautiful the bench scene was omg like i was smiling so hard #when tj starts reaching for cyrus’ hand omg i was DYINGGG #my heart can’t handle that sweetness #i can’t believe it’s 2023 and i’m making a tyrus post #going back to my roots :) #this is why tyrus stays in the username forever …. they were everything to me #they will always be like iconic in a way that nothing else could be iconic #okay sorry tyrus rant over i’ll be resuming my regularly scheduled sitcom content shortly 😇💪 #tyrus #cyrus goodman #tj kippen #andi mack

I dunno man I feel like most statements along the lines of ‘Batman isn’t REALLY x, he’s y’ don’t hold much water because usually, there’s a pretty good chance a number of writers over the years have written him as x, you just didn’t like it or think it doesn’t count for some reason.

For example ‘Batman isn’t REALLY a good parent, he’s actually a bad parent’, when Batman has been written as a good parent by a number of writers, and has, in addition, been written as realizing that he’s screwed up with his children and resolved to fix it by even more. At the same time, stating ‘Batman isn’t REALLY a bad parent, he’s actually a good parent’ is also incorrect, because Batman has been written as a bad parent by a number of writers, either intentionally or not; in addition, the pattern presented by the tug-of-war between writers who believe he should be a good parent and writers who don’t has, over the years, created an unintentional pattern that strongly resembles that of an abusive relationship. So, stating he is a good parent is inaccurate and dismisses a bunch of his canon writing, but stating he is a bad parent also dismisses a bunch of his canon writing and the intentions of the authors that wrote him.

The secret here is realizing that Batman has had so many writers over the years that it’s practically impossible to find a universal truth about him beyond the basic premise and maybe very, very basic characterization keystones. Writers with different beliefs about both the character and the world at large have written him in accordance to their worldview, and sometimes that worldview will align with yours, and sometimes it won’t.

Like, at this point, Batman is more an idea than he is a character. He is the bare-knuckled fight against injustice, but what ‘injustice’ is depends heavily on your worldview, as does what ‘bare-knuckled’ and ‘fight’ mean. Batman has been interpreted in dozens of different ways over the years, and singling out a few of those as the True Batman is largely arbitrary and dependent on your personal taste and belief in what the character should be. The only ‘objective’ measurement you could apply here are the old Golden Age comics, and I think most fans can agree that measuring modern Batman comics by how faithful they are to the Golden Age comics is, more often than not, a little ridiculous.

For the record, I do think that arguing about what Batman should be matters; if right-wing assholes use the character as a mouthpiece for their worldview we can and should critique that, but not because it’s ‘OOC’, but because the worldview espoused by those right-wing assholes is harmful and shitty. Batman should be a good parent, not because it’s ‘OOC’ for him to be a bad parent, but because having your paragon of justice be a child abuser is pretty shitty. Etc.

I don’t really have anywhere specific to go with this, I just think it’s a little strange when people try to view Batman as a character with a clear-cut characterization, rather than a concept that many people have approached in different ways over the years. Can that concept be mishandled? Sure. But it’s usually mishandled for reasons a bit more substantial than ‘a previous writer wrote it differently’.

#part of me feels like it's a cop-out to say #'batman isn't really a character so much as a concept and he can rarely ever be truly ooc' #'because he's been written by so many different people that practically any interpretation of him has canon back-up' #but at the same time. when you have a decades long history as one of the most well known pop culture icons of our time #i do think you kinda stop being a character and start being more of a concept #this post was inspired by a lot of stuff but the thing on my mind rn is conversations about why batman doesn't kill #and a lot of people being like 'saying batman doesn't kill because he thinks it'd turn him into an unstoppable killing monster is wrong!' #which. isn't true. that's a take many writers have on his character. #you may not like you or think it's stupid or whatever but. it's an interpretation of the no-kill rule with canon backing #and for that matter. even 'batman doesn't kill' is kind of up in the air with many writers taking a more relaxed stance on that #or even outright doing away with it. batman was also written before the concept of him not killing was added to his character #like. with a character with a history as long an profilic as batman. shit's complicated i feel #bruce wayne #my posts #infodumping

#listen #tell me i’m wrong #this boy really be gagging for that spice in life like he’s fuckin christopher columbus #that time he made the campfire dragon directly in front of arthur and morgana while telling hunith with a straight face that he’d be careful #that time he created the Ealdor toranado with his hand out in broad daylight #that time he levitated and jangled the keys directly next to arthurs head #that time he swiped arthurs breakfast sausages from right under his nose like a treasonous glizzy guzzler #that time he let his eyes glow in front of literally everyone at knight practice just to magically mess arthur up and watch him get wrecked #that time he lit up the wraith in the middle of the courtyard like it was fucking bonfire night #the multiple times he deadass levitated spears instead of just picking them up and subtly using magic to guide their aim #the multiple times his feral little ass kept creating disguises to sass the life out of the royal family #the multiple times his feral little ass kept creating disguises even though he knew he’d be recognized by his eyes #the multiple times his feral little ass kept getting recognized for his eyes and still never fuckin changed them #iconic #if you’re not adding so much spice to your life that your fellow medieval peasants would die of flavor shock are you even really living #I’m as dead as merlin would be if literally anyone in camelot could recognize magic #merlin #truly the most chaotic bitch of 500AD #and I support him so much #in a land of myth #and a time of absolute fuckery #bbc merlin
