steps up to the mic, clears throat
Mina Harker was the protagonist of Dracula. The last line of the book is literally about how incredibly brave and smart she is and how everyone was working for her sake, including her. Stop making her the damn love interest in adaptations.
Thank you.

yes house md as a show is outlandish and insane. house is literally a truman show of his own show. background characters are made out of cardboard, the walls are glass, he is just allowed to bully patients and his coworkers for funzies. but like there is also a deeply realistic element to house as a character. his actions are in line with his life, his backstory, and with his predicament. his chronic pain which lead to an opioid addiction, his childhood trauma, his trust issues that have definitely been shattered throughout his life leading to his cynicism, his refusal to seek mental support. of course the one constant and true trusting relationship in his life will also be codependent. this all makes sense. but this is also a show where house gets shot, gets recruited by the CIA for an episode, goes to jail multiple times. but it’s also a story about a deeply damaged man making the best of what he has and also learning to accept love? oh yeah and this is also a sherlock adaptation.

Finished the new Wednesday series and I figured out what the Tim Burton version of the Addams Family is missing for me and it’s the mania. There’s no manic edge to any of the jokes. There’s hardly any snap (pun intended) in the dialogue. Gomez is sedated, the guy who played the younger version of him was serving more Gomez energy in five minutes onscreen. There’s a moment where CJZ calls him “mon cheri” and there is ZERO reaction, not even an aborted attempt at a “Tish! That’s FRENCH!” gag, which I was definitely waiting for. Pugsley isn’t hyperactive at all. He says he misses being waterboarded but he doesn’t beg Wednesday to torture him or really do much at all the few minutes the kid is onscreen. His one gag is basically just a fat-kids-will-eat-anything joke where he chows on some potpourri. Nothing in the therapy scene to suggest how VERY in over her head Kinbott is. Nobody else is ever really set on edge or feeling jumpy because they have no idea what any Addams will do next.

i think one of the many dumb things about the "jaytim is INCEST!!!!" malarky is that people will openly say "they may not have grown up together or have a brotherly relationship or any personal connection except through bruce but shipping them is still deviant and perverted and you're going to hell for being a fagg i mean a freak"

Holy goodness. So I was thinking more on the fact that the Hero, and everyone else from the Dark Future, dissappear as though they never had existed. Because they changed the future, and now the events that led to their lives no longer happen.
And it would create the mother of all grandfather paradoxes if their actions get reversed because they don't exist. That's just a given for the plot to happen.
But imagine what could come out of it if anyone without any kind of time-based shenaniganary (so pretty much just the partner) forget anyone from the future even existed? Because technically, they don't.
Imagine the fathomless guilt that the partner would feel for not only surviving Temporal Tower, but also being unable to remember the hero's name and face. Their memories of them having a dull haze in the opproximate shape of their best friend.
Its even worse for other people. Imagine the partner being told by Chatot that at least two people need to be on a team that's registered for two people. And the partner tells them that they do have a partner. Only being able to convince him after telling him to pull out the paperwork, because how do you convince someone that a person exists if you don't even know what pokemon they are, or what their name is? "That can't be right!? Someone must have foraged this! I've never heard of a [hero's name] before now! This doesn't make any sense..." And then having that fun experience be the reason why the partner even remembers their name.
Can you even say that Dusknoir irreparably shattered your trust in famous explorers, if everyone is convinced that what happened never even took place? To everyone else, it just seems that you woke up one morning and decided to be needlessly paranoid about getting betrayed.
Those scars look pretty gnarly. Where did you get them? ...Who's Grovyle? He has a wanted poster? Stole the time gears? That must be a mistake. The Time Gears have never been touched by anyone.
Did any of the last several years even happen? There is evidence that they did. Grovyle's wanted poster. The registration. Those things point to what happening, being true. But... Everyone else is just saying that those are accidents.
Were the people that effected your life, for better and for worse, ever real? There's no way that's the case...
Right? They have to be real. It couldn't have been just a dream or a hallucination. I felt that pain. I felt that desperation, love, friendship. That can't just be not true. It has to have happened. Because what would it mean if it didn't?

LISTEN LISTEN, I know we’re all sad and disappointed at Mal’s reunion. BUT we need to talk about how this man did whatever he could to keep the memory of MC close to him when they were gone.
Lord Wesley of RIVERBEND????? Mal claiming to be from MC’s hometown?? People died, I am people.
Him telling stories about MC to his kids????????
Building the orphanage when MC disappeared because he needed a purpose?? And the one he picks is the one he wanted to achieve, WITH MC. (for my fellow Mal-romancers out there)
I know we were all expected a big, dramatic reunion, but I honestly think this one was pretty good too. I think the emotions we were hoping for was THERE, it was just subtler.

So Eddie showing up before anyone else to the bachelor party and Buck still insisting he was late, staying after everyone else left like there was no question he would, wearing a matching costume (that he suggested, no less) and being way more dressed up and on theme than any other attendee (I mean, the others were on theme, but kept it lowkey)….all this suggests to me that he was understood to be co-hosting with Buck. (Oh my god, they were co-hosts!)
Buck was in charge, obviously, but Eddie volunteered himself as assistant, right-hand-man, co-conspirator. (I mean, who else can handle clipboard-Buck, anyway.) He was definitely the only one enthusiastically encouraging Buck to throw the party. Maybe partly because he thought it was a good idea, but also because he hates seeing Buck discouraged, and also because he wasn’t about to just leave Buck to do it all alone. Just like Buck would never leave Eddie to do something like that all alone.
Because they are partners! Best friends! Cohorts. Counterparts. So sweet, I love it.

so instead of get back into art after the basic recovery of my surgery, I instead replayed Mario and Luigi Partners in Time…and why does nobody talk about this game?? Hardly ever see it in the Super Mario tag. Like. It’s actually insane how dark it gets. People die. Like actually die. Not as dark as SPM but like we see the dead spirits of Toads get siphoned through tubes. They had their life force sucked out of them via genetically modified trees. Yoshis were eaten by a larger alien Yoshi and were gonna be turned into more alien Yoshis via a factory IN THE GIANT ALIEN YOSHI. We see a town that’s literally just “Christmas is Cancelled” the city. Their mayor probably died. We never see these places restored because there are no survivors to restore them. The citizens of Hollijolli village probably all died by the time the bros shut down the Vim factory. And also there’s the entire scene with the Star Gate. Like. Hello??
maybe I’ll stream or let’s play this game and share it here because I think. More ppl should talk about Partners in Time. I’ll say it too: I like it more than Bowser’s Inside Story. By like a LOT. That’s my ramble for the night. Ttyd day tomorrow. Yippee
