#now hes a 90s kid???

Always lowkey simmering a Leverage AU in the back of my head hear me out:

Ted is an ex-insurance investigator who was able to get his son life-saving medical treatment because his first, original Crime Pal Beard was like ‘Ted if your company doesn’t come through with the coverage, we’re doing things my way.’

The company did not come through. The company did let him go due to suspicion of Ted’s involvement in the incident, but Ted will happily remind folks that no charges were formally pressed. Henry is alive and healthy and living with Michelle, who divorced Ted shortly thereafter (not just because of pre-existing marital problems, but because Ted wouldn’t tell her anything about why the doctors “””suddenly decided to do the procedure for free”””). Shortly thereafter, Ted fled the country.

What Ted learned from the whole experience is that there’s a lot of people out there, good people just trying to live by the rules, but sometimes things happen that are just out of their control. And well- if we’ve got the means to help the good people out when no one else will, then shouldn’t we try?

“We’ve got means,” Beard agrees. “And motives.”

They do things Beard’s way now.

#also Rebecca is a grifter who gave it up when she married into money and her name(s) echo mysteriously through the back alleys of London #“did you hear about this Secret Princess Lydia who went missing in the 90s?’ ‘yes Ted that was me’ #the woman is constantly dodging every half-told lie she made on a lark twenty years ago but she is amazing at keeping them straight #and Roy- Roy long ago took an injury that ended his career as a footballer before it started #and he fell into a bad spot as a hitter #and then he fell into a worse spot #and then he dug himself out for his neice that no one knows about (see: everyone knows about think mafia kid no one is allowed to touch her) #the problem now is he’s getting old #the hits hit harder and his speed isn’t what it used to be #(Roy Kent’s slow is still leagues beyond what these young wannabe punks can do these days) #keeley! she is a sneak thief. very charming. tiny. great with repelling down sides of buildings #loves money and shiny rocks and thinks Rebecca is the bee’s knees #and then there’s Jamie who is a 24 year old hacker with gaudy taste no knack for accents and a problem with authority #in this au him and ted have basically split Nate’s backstory #Ted’s dad took him to bars and taught him little tricks and mind games- nothing fancy just stuff an HR person might know #meanwhile Jamie’s dad took him to shady deals in bars because his dad was a fixer who’d put bad guys in touch with each other #jamie keeps a tracker running on his laptop with his dad’s whereabouts at all times #unfortunately he didn’t think that anyone else would bother looking for him- he’s not exactly a big time crook #but Ted and his crew have pissed off Rupert Mannion who is big time and who wants to hit back at Rebecca for making a fool of him #and Mannion’s people have identified that the way in to breaking their little crew is through Jamie #who’s name sounds so ridiculous people have assumed it was fake this whole time #anyways #thanks for reading #I will likely never write this but boy I have ideas 💡 #leverage au #ted lasso #jamie tartt #roy kent #keeley jones #rebecca welton

i've decided that i dont care about max verstappen domination anymore. i am swinging back around to it being funny. by how many seconds will he be in the lead in the next race? 45? a whole minute? maybe every other car on the grid will just break down and then max can do all 50 or whatever laps by himself. ferrari will still find a way to fuck charles over.

#this is the attitude i am choosing to take. it will be funnier this way. #the ferrari bit is a joke. i am (hesitantly) optimistic about this year. #2024 charles leclerc wdc will happen. i am in church actively praying for it. #f1 #max verstappen #charles leclerc #also im taking bets now #do we think max will win all 24 races? or just like 90% (22 races)? #or like lewis hamilton will come in with a steel chair and manage to take his 8th? (<- i am actively praying for that) #or!!! logan sargeant finally gets the power of america on his side and comes in as surprise contender for the championship? #<- this has no chance of happening. i just think it'll be funny. #or!!! halfway through the season charles transforms into lightning mcqueen and he wins the last half of the races thereby causing a tie #leading the fia to call for a tiebreaker match between charles and max in texas except charles gets lost in la on the way there and i end u #finding him and we fall in love and he charms my family until the paps find him and we have to reluctantly part ways but then he wins!! #and comes home to me. (<- i have described the plot of cars. charles please come home the kids miss you.)

What was baabaa like before the whole genocide of the sheep, or at least before their execution?

Baabaa was born in a distant village with population of only about 20 sheep, one of many dozens villages like that.

The village didn't have a name and wasn't associated with any cult, and despite not all of it's inhabitants being related by blood, everyone in the flock was equal and considered each other parts of one big family.

The life in the sheep village was simple — they've been living in tents, raising lambs and spending their time gathering and growing herbs. Baabaa didn't stand out much. He was one of a few young rams, an older brother figure to multiple little siblings.

The genocide started when Baabaa was a teenager. The village was very distant, so they haven't heard anything about the situation in the outside world for the longest time, and even when they did find out, it never really felt like something that would actually reach their godforsaken grassland. For them, the life just kept going… At the point when Lamb was captured, he was in his 20s.

By now, Lamb's memories of his past life became a blur — part of it is a side effect of bearing a Crown, the other part is just effect of the time that has passed since then.

Baabaa has some of his old skills and habits, and occasionally gets déjà vu. He remembers only some fragments, the simple things — the faces of his flock and their voices, what they used to wear and do, but once he tries to focus on details like their names, the memories slip through his fingers like a fleeting fever dream.

They've been his family, the closest people he had until recently, and yet he doesn't miss them more than you'd miss a pleasant dream after waking up.

Their deaths may be permament, but life goes on, and everything keeps changing.

#lamb only wishes he could remember enough of his family to write it down to save the memory #i may or may not develop this idea #even if his family was back alive he wouldn't want to leave his current life to live like he used to #he likes how his life is now even though its more tiring #cult of the baabaa kids #baabaa kids ask #cult of the lamb #cotl #cotl lamb #i retconned the precanon timeline so lamb is like 90 years old now (NOT PHYSICALLY cuz his body doesn't age at all) #but he is immortal and that really isn't a lot for an immortal being i guess i mean #he used to watch minecraft speedruns so he decided to speedrun life and be the youngest most successful god

you know what if Argyle doesn't come back in s5 I'm going to choose to believe he took his Surfer Boys millionaire money and is living quasi-off the grid in the California Redwoods with like 5 golden retrievers and selling bracelets on the side of the road out of a van

#...now is this my normal headcanon for Argyle?? Yea mind your business #I also think he invests in computers in the 90s bc Suzie told him too #and then he buys a bunch of places like there's the NYC place when he visits Jancy and the kids and the paris place and the san diego place #he's thriving #stranger things #argyle #argyle st4 #argyle stranger things

Could you imagine giving Wes a middle name? Like idk Wiley or something. The important thing is it starts with the letter W so that his initials are W.W.W. and he's tech savvy in the present.

All of this is specifically so that Wes can tell someone one day "my initials are literally the world wide web, shut your fucking mouth" when they try to question his internet researching skills/overall ability to competently use a computer.

#danny phantom #wes weston #his parents thinking 'haha absolutely nothing could go wrong with this' #*the internet starts getting more advanced & used more regularly in everyday life* #'oops' #remember kids! the show takes place in 2004. wes is around Danny's age so he wouldve been born in the early 90s/late 80s #okay now that i think about it im not completely sure if the joke im trying to tell would even make sense #maybe wes' parents did know about the internet and www stuff by then hmmmm #ah well. post.

Every time one of y’all say Phil is Autistic, I lose another five years of my life.

#iM nOt diAgNoSiNg HiM #but like you are #it’s horrendous enough people self diagnosis #but now y’all are guessing whether a curiated personality that we have momentary glimpses of gives you the right to even consider a #diagnosis as severe as autism #the tiktok and tumblification of Autism angers me every single time I see it #send hate all you want but I can say with full confidence 90% of self diagnosed autism really have just some combination of social anxiety #and adhd mixed with introvertedness #or just plain social anxiety #the amount of times I’ve seen people online describe their symptoms and it’s legit the criteria for social anxiety #if you don’t know why I feel so strong about it #my brother was actually autistic like for realizes #as in he didn’t talk as a kid and I’m not sure if I’ll have to care for him when my parents die #and it’s half the reason I’m #or was and still partly super fucked up #this kind of shit is for twitter #rae’s rambles #dan and phil

brother was talking to me about how if you almost die from an extreme-temperature-related incident then your body is just forever fucked towards that temperature and that's why i think kiryu and saejima are weak to ice. i dont know why aoki isn't like that too but ignore that statistic everything else tracks.

#snap chats #i already made this post highkey but im making it again cause i didnt know this was an actual real thing ☠️ #my brother learned this when he started to work for target. because apparently that's a thing they tell you frame one #'snap how did this topic even come up' i am LITERALLY so glad you asked :) the cold has almost claimed me twice #am i exaggerating Maybe but its my fucked up body temperature now listen #when i was younger i got locked out of my house for like. three hours since i was a latchkey kid #and my dad wasn't supposed to come home with my siblings (from their after school events) for Three Hours #and it had snowed outside and Was Cold Yeah and i couldn't get in cause i forgot my key like a weiner #and yeah. was really cold :) my dad was real cross with me when he found me shivering in the shed LOL #he made me hot cocoa tho so its ok. second incident's just funny No I Talk About It Evvery Other Week #and im p sure i talked bout the first incident too but yeah that time after the con when i was at my sister's #like i cannot stress how cold it was because It Was Late November and the cold still existed #and my sister's heater just. Didnt Work but yeah. i wont go into detail cause i share this story every five seconds #POINT IS i've always had a hard time with the cold- like i'm cold nearly all the time even if the room is 90 degrees #i wont be COLD cold but i'll be colder than i like #anyways can't believe i'm weak to ice this is so sad. i love winter.. #aoki isn't weak to ice cause uhhhh /aoki/ didnt almost die in the cold 🥴 masato did 🥴 #imagine changing your identity so well that you just remove your past elemental weakness. fucked up. #alright bye

While I would generally describe early series Lister as "cute," I discovered the other night that I definitely found Lister weirdly (but very) sexy during one particular scene in Holoship:

...with particular, um, appreciation for the line, "displays evidence of spoiling for a rrrrumble." That line delivery is just, mmm, *chef's kiss.*

---

Like many things i post, there is no point to this, I just like shouting weird shit into the void...

...Although I guess i do wonder if people have other moments where a chatacter/actor they aren't normally into "like that" has tipped over into being suddenly very attractive...?

#red dwarf #dave lister #craig charles #i have vague memories of seeing glimpses of red dwarf as a kid in the 90s #and always being confused when another chatacter said something negative about listers appearance #like ok now i get the full contex and yeah hes fucking gross lol #but even back then i was like...wait who isbcalling him ugly? but hes like #really really cute???? #Youtube

I think it's so funny how I still have family members that are like "Put Christ back in christmas! >:(" as if we don't have to wait for Uncle Whoeverthefuck to finish his 40 minute monologue about how the church personally saved him from being a drug dealer or dying from a workplace accident or some shit in the middle of him saying grace before we can eat

#I saw the main uncle whoeverthefuck today known for this shit #he also has some issues speaking thatve gotten worse over time that he refuses to acknowledge #he's in his 90's so like I'm not making fun of him #He's had a lisp his whole life I'm p sure #And he came from a family of 14 kids in a poor black neighborhood so it's not like speech therapy was an option #but we have trouble understanding what he's saying but he insists on saying grace most of the time then goes off #And it's harder to make out what he says when he's passionately praying and worshipping #I do not have the patience for this now #if uncle whoeverthefuck (there's multiple it could be not just this one) goes on past 3 mins I'm eating fuck this #good luck fellow extians o7 #ex christian #religious trauma

wait, the doctor who movie was released in 1996! axl could have seen it!

#he never got to see the revival but thats ok #he would have liked chris eccelston though. sad #now to wonder which doctor 1-8 was his favorite #i dont think he would have been a nerd about doctor who but i find it extremely likely he watched it at least as a kid #he probably would have seen the fourth doctor the most or started watching when four went into five #probably watched it less when six was around #maybe saw some seven here and there but not as interested #then heard they were making a movie and watched it for old times sake #its my hyperfixations i can combine them however i want #youre gonna give me a time traveling 90s british man and tell me he didnt grow up on the most popular long running british time travel show #i know it in my heart #'oi sol did you ever watch doctor who? funny little bloke flying through time and space... us kids used to watch it all the time...' #my post

[radicalrobotz]

some scrapped shattered lore is so stupid and funny i wish i could recall more of it on the spot but also making a whole list of non-canon events before properly introducing current-canon would be confusing

#only 90s kids remember The Waffles Injoke #or was it pancakes. omfg im not 90s kids #also idk if i ever hinted at it or if it was one of many things in myhead but arthur hooks up w jos cousin cuz he fumbled him so bad #i think 90% of scrapped arthur stuff is just him being cringe cuz hes coping like shit abt jo lmao #tbh even now an ongoing theme in shattered is bitches fumbling i think #shoutout to when hooky was almost in shattered. i saved him

Can you scrub other things from the internet? Like pictures and things through these same companies? I’m terrified of my past as a pseudo-escort coming back to haunt me since I dabbled when I was young and stupid and unaware of the necessities of internet safety, anonymity, and reputation 😩

I would literally pay anything to ensure that was all gone, or at least buried deep enough that I didn’t have to worry about it.

Yes, you can! Depending on how much you pay and how much time you have, they can scrub quite a bit off the internet. There are whole videos, movies, etc. that are literally gone from the internet.

The money is the big part. It costs a pretty penny, but it will be done.

#that Shazam movie that liter all 90s kids swear they saw growing up? #that absolutely happened. he scrubbed it from the internet and now lies about it because there wasn’t much of a footprint at that time. #answered

i’m sorry VOTER FRAUD?

IN MY VEGGIETALES?

it’s more likely than you’d think...

#veggietales #ryan watches vt #he literally shows up out of nowhere hears 'happy place' and says 'I WILL BECOME GRAND MARSHALL OF HAPPINESS PARADE' and immediately #like no hesitation nobody saying anything is like 'I WILL STUFF THE BALLOT BOX and BE ELECTED' #now's probably the time to admit that I don't recognize any Larry-Boy or League stuff after Bad Apple as canon #and even then I didn't really like Bad Apple #I tried watching League but was way too old for it by then and had hit my limit #like I love rewatching classic VT because it's not just nostalgia it felt legitimately fun for adults #read phil's book it's great #but also like... past a certain point VT became 'oh yeah its cute and kinda funny still' #and this new show so far really doesn't have clever laugh out loud enjoyable for adults too moments #not like they used to have #they feel so... sanitized #and there's something weird about complaining like that #but it's not really complaining as it is just... noting how drastically different 90s kid media and 2010s kid media and 2020 kids media is #from 'family fun' meaning adults could get a chuckle and like it too #to 'family fun' means its 'Wholesome'(tm) Christian Media (tm) and if there's even a reference to an old TV show kids haven't watched #its a big Ordeal like #idk there's a whole lot to say there #and I probably should watch more eps before I say anything more #at the end of all these liveblogs I may give a wider explanation of my thoughts on the new series from a view of like... #a long time fan since childhood who HAS returned several times to the show and fandom into his adulthood

reading book? too much effort. sitting down and writing replies?? can't focus.

youtube rabbit hole of in-depth Barbie history and architectural design of dream houses and playsets? i got all da focus in da world baybeee!

#barbie has always been an Interest especially in adult years since i more or less refrained from being #a hardcore barbie enjoyer because ykno not to gender talk on a tues but i rejected just about everything typically femme because i did not #want to be seen as femme or fully femme from a young age #so even if i really liked barbies i distanced myself from them pretty fast :'( #so now i think im compensating by like. instead of buying them for myself because i dont really want to collect. i just like lmao #obsessively info dive and watch commercial compilations and shit kdjfgdg #anyway did you know barbie has two younger siblings besides her main three that were actually her youngest ones #tutti and todd and they havent been seen since the late 90s? like theyre recognized in terms of history but in terms of #barbie lore and canon theyve been completely retconned out cuz theyve never shown up in sets or movies or anything #did you also know they were made of a bendable soft plastic as opposed to hard and the wires were prone to poking through and stabbing kids #and that the plastic stored like shit and if you put them (soft plastic) on your other dolls (hard) they would literally #melt into each other?? :) #barbie also has lots of cousins just got mentioned briefly and then annihilated from technical canon lol #oooh and then there's also Blaine who is an ex bf of barbie that was made specifically to date her briefly during a sort of campaign #barbie broke up with ken and got with blaine but ofc she got back with ken and after that blaine was never seen nor mentioned again. he deA #anyway happy tuesday im gonna eat my soup and try and break out of this info consuming trance so i can wrITE #oHOH and last silly trivia being barbie has lots of canon relatives that havent been retconned or anything BUT they've also never been made #into dolls. off the top of my head i think some of these include like uhhh her mom and dad and some aunts and shit #tho i think these are either just mentioned in passing or from the barbie movies or some in books

#this show is CRAZY y'all... #can't specifically remember but i think he tosses a knife at his jug. #i was in a dark mood for a while so i was gravitating towards darker dramas #and then i kind of shifted so now im back to comedies with a dark edge (cexgf) or basic 90s comedies where everything is on the surface #but the humor bcomes elevated when you're stoned. anyways. #dream casting #as the kids say #actually for the longest time i thought this mfer was 6'4 (like he looks tall as hell in his earlier films) #but it's actually just his charisma (he's 5'10) #also a 1980s-90s james spader would've been perfect for a circa 1509 henry viii biopic. actually #even down to the haircut #don't @ me about him being american either. james spader can do anything he sets his mind to do #sadly i was not a studio exec in the 1980s tho. i missed the dream era of funding films such as that. and of being able to smoke cigarettes #inside...alas....... #ignore the playbar too im not going back to screenshot this #tl; dr #also i can't really say why but tomcrom is just not on the purkoy hitlist of suspects for me...just doesn't really seem his style. #*so yeah

the progression of decker where I said he doesn’t really like kids / is awkward around them but now, every other time he interactions with one, it turns into

#( * / out of character ; personal. ) #I mean he’s still awkward as hell around kids but #he witnesses anyone bothering them / a child in an unsafe or neglectful situation ?? he will not hesitate #but . also . this is just kind of how he is with everyone now tbh #also . I would like to point out . that his dynamic with kids is 90% quin’s fault because he’s just … (reluctantly) adopts any muse of quins
