i have such mixed feelings about desertduo being the most popular ship in the hc/traffic fandom cause on one hand, yeah i can understand it
their dynamic lends well to a lot of angst which fans eat right up
you could easily argue that theyre foils to each other
they have accidentally created an ongoing story arc for themselves which lore whores are absolutely eating right up
they just work well in general
but on the other hand, i lowkey miss the days when grumbo was the most popular ship despite not quite exactly shipping it myself because
that was back when the hc fandom was smaller/quieter than it was now so it never really managed to completely bombard my feed despite seeing it so often
i dont really care about scarian all that much honestly like yeah i got why other ppl ship it but i sure dont
mumbo is my wife and i just like seeing him in any context really
honestly all this is telling me is that i need to find more mumbo enjoyers

My Fallout show "hot take" is that it is just as fandom brained to force a "father-daughter" relationship onto the Ghoul and Lucy as it is to ship them.
in both cases you are boxing a very interesting pair of characters into predetermined fandom tropes. You are not better because your box doesn't have them fuck nasty!
Dont get me wrong, go off! Enjoy it as a father-daughter duo! But do not be rude towards people who see two adult characters with a messy dynamic and ship them.
At the end of the day, theres very little in the actual text to imply either right now. Hell, I just saw two posts, back to back, describe the same scene in the exact same way up until the final paragraph, where one said "And thats why he's her dad!" and the other said "And thats why they're in love!".
Don't be an asshole and don't couch personal dislike in faux moralising. We are talking about a woman who casually fucked hooked-up with her cousin and a 200 year old zombie vagabond. Its not that deep.

Staff: we got rid of prev tags because it made it confusing for clicking through to people's blogs!
Me: fighting for my goddamn life trying to click on the right spot on mobile to get to someone's blog and all it's doing is reloading the post I'm using to click through

Is it really writing a Sniperspy fic if Sniper doesn't actually show up until maybe the end and its really just an excuse to analyze and write Spy's character and also explore the Sudo-friendship/semi-grudging mutual respect/Mentor/Student-esqe relationship between Spy and Miss Pauling?
It is if I fucking say so.

still sitting here going through a massive collection of videos after telling someone i was gonna find some specific interactions, bc who knew it wasnt gonna be easy to pin down a few specific words someone said over the course of multiple years of video-- not even interactions but, offhand mentions of said person in random episodes. lord. for my sanity of not repeating videos i am not just making a whole document of all these videos even the smallest mentions.

honestly there's smth rly nice about fellow creators who r obsessed with the same fictional character. how our interpretations are all slightly different. but we r just nodding at each other like Good Portrayal, my dude
idk, it's nice

I love to imagine Rebecca as trans like it just has become so ingrained in my mind it feels weird it’s not canon. She realized at a young age and her parents were supportive and let her present how she wanted and they used her name and pronouns, but they weren’t around enough to go the extra mile for her and make sure she was being protected. She was the target of some pretty bad bullying at school, both from the students and the staff, and Ashton was the first person to defend her. Ashton is cishet (cuz I think it’s funny) and hes kinda ignorant at first but he tries his best and he just likes Rebecca and wants good things for her and he’s so emo he scares away the bullies lol. And this was definitely a big part in Rebecca gaining feelings for him he just showed her this special kinda care that no one else ever did, and it’s what makes her extra insecure as the years go by. Cuz she wonders if maybe the reason Ashton never seems to reciprocate her feelings is because she’s trans and he just never thought to see her as romance material as a result. Which is a line of thinking that gets out of control really bad and she never gets to have the closure she wants with it either
She tells Isabella that’s shes trans just cuz they’re best friends and it sorta comes up eventually. Isabella was a tomboy growing up so she can definitely relate to the bullying shit pretty well and they are very protective of each other and vow to beat up anyone who talks shit about the other. They also just open each other’s minds a bit, Isabella helps Rebecca feel more comfortable in knowing there’s many different ways to be a woman, Rebecca helps Isabella maybe explore her feelings about her own gender and whether or not she’s really attached to womanhood. Zach finds out in a more casual way, it’s just something he learns cuz it felt weird that he was the only one who didn’t know and well. He’s a good guy, he wouldn’t mind. It’s not something the two of them ever talk about really, aside from bonding over a few shared experiences with having to deal with assholes. And really, being trans just isn’t something Rebecca wants to talk about too much, just because she’s gotten to a point where’s she’s experienced being stealth and she knows how quickly people can turn on you when they know, and she understandably doesn’t wanna deal with that shit. But because her friends are so supportive, she doesn’t exhale and let herself just exist naturally around them and it does help her feel less insecure about who she is
Sexuality wise I think she’s "straight" I think she’s spent most of her life looking at Ashton and just assuming she’d be with a man but once she finally gets to give up on him she has Moments with Isabella or like a certain fondness for Marianne and their shared love of history and other nerd shit and shes just like. Uh Oh 😟

im losing my SHIT over the moments that are scattered throughout this show that show marty's incorporeality without spelling it out
like. the way when people move thigns hes leaning on, he doesnt lose balance bc hes not ACTUALLY leaning on them hes just maintaining an illusion of being one with the world of the living. or when the hypnotist psych guy puts his hand thru marty and marty is like Yeow That Was My Personal Space. or when marty tries to catch hold of bream at the same time jeff does and his hand catches nothing or when jeff is like help me up and marty goes to take his hand and then is like :/
i wanna add images to this but its late so i might do later

The random card au is so fucked up cause I'm forced to make up so many lil guys that don't exist in canon just for the sake of world building (<- it is not being forced it's just doing this to itself anyways)
