#tom is the fucking worse

[warriorsbutnotreally]

in general I believe a lot of female characters from DotC deserve better than what the writing gave them

Slate, Violet Dawn, Dawn Mist, Turtle Tail, Acorn Fur, and Star Flower have so much potential for interesting stories but they're all overshadowed by the heteronormative drama of DotC

I like Slate's arc as a single mom in Moth Flight's Vision and her struggling with grief and loss while still trying her best is admirable and I wish we got to know more about her outside of being Gray Wing's love interest

Violet Dawn went through hell before we even meet her, learning that her mate was killed and being trapped in a society that she isn't happy with. I would love to see her as the hero of her own story and detached from Thunder.

Dawn Mist is such a tough, badass mom [and wife] and I love that for her. I wish she could've had the chance to fight Slash herself, even briefly, for the pain he tried to put her family through.

Turtle Tail's story deserved a more happy ending that she got and the fact that she's an abuse survivor who had to witness the narrative try to redeem [at at least have sympathy for] her abuser is such bullshit.

Acorn Fur is just plain amazing. I'd dare to say, she's cooler than both her brothers. Thunder is dull and while I love Lightning Tail, I love Acorn Fur the most out of these three.

and Star Flower's story would be so much better if she was never a love interest. I love that she's a villain's daughter who has a positive relationship with her evil father. I love how she herself isn't all that evil, but still insists that her father was a good tom deep down. I wish we could've gotten more of her as a character and less of her as a love interest to anyone. She's really neat. I like her.

[This is what happens when you trap Maverick on a carrier at sea for several months, in shared bunks with Merlin, Slider, and Iceman. He finds new ways to entertain himself. Namely, antagonising Slider.]

Maverick: You know what I've always wondered? How do tall people sleep at night when the blanket can't go over them right to their toes?

Slider: Maverick, it is three o'clock in the goddamn morning.

Maverick: So you can't sleep, huh? Is it because of the blanket?

Slider: Maverick, I swear to god if you don't shut up I'm gonna-

Maverick: Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you through the blanket covering me completely.

Slider: I hope you die.

Maverick: Yeah? Well, I hope you step on legos.

Slider: Take it back. TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW.

Maverick: Barefoot.

NEVER STOP!!! everytime I get mad over DOTC I just come onto your page and read your Gray Wing slander and immediately feel better, thanks muchly! 😌✨️

I am but a humble DOTC Slander ranger, riding across the sunlit horizon with a big iron on my hip, putting every hater's formless frustration into the words you felt but did not realize how to say ✨️

#If there's anything positive to say about it #it's that it's at least a SPECTACULAR kind of bad #It's bad in the kind of way that makes you realize what is so bad about other entries in WC #Like the rosetta stone of things wrong with WC #In no other arc is the ableism misogyny and abuse apologia SO apparent. SO plain to see #And of course your mind's immediately drawn to Clear or Tom because they're so obviously awful as characters. #But even the characters they think are GOOD and frame as RIGHTEOUS are revealing!! #Sometimes even moreso!! #though to be clear I end up biting at Gray a lot more often than Clear because he's awful in a less immediately obvious way #but I think clear is literally THE worst character they have ever put in WC. It's not a contest. It's not even a consideration in my mind. #because at the end of the day. Clear is WHY the arc is so bad. #Gray is defending him and doing a shit ton of abuse apologia and generally being insufferable #but as a tool he is being used in the exact way they mean to use him. #And his USE is to SUPPORT CLEAR. #He may not be the main POV but the arc is ABOUT Clear. It's HIS story. EVERYTHING that happens is supposed to be for HIM. #I haven't gotten to Gray's death scene in my reread yet but I should actually reblog it over here on the main when I do #Because it says it. It says it explicitly. That Gray only ever did anything because Clear pushed or bullied him to action. #And the narrative tries to frame that like a sweet and sentimental thing #But it's actually fucking horrifying. That WAS the entire series. #Clear pushing and bullying others until life was worse for everyone. And then they thank him for it. #bone babble #dotc hate

society if dc hired a writing team of colour who could acknowledge the racial coding of starfire & raven, explore vic's status as a Black man in modern america who's specific disability further means his body is going to be read a certain way by certain people no matter what he does, along with potentially finding a way to sort through the racisim + fetishization that went into prior depictions of dick's heritage:

#i say team as i think team books would probably benefit from more co-writers anyway. allows for more perspective. also pays more artists. #also i think a prior lack of racial sensitivity on the part of major corporations calls for paid opportunity to- for lack of better terms #because i'm stoned & can't find them- fix the fucking mess of it all #there's so much you could do irt to sociopolitical commentary if you just hired the right fucking people. i'm so over this jesus fuck. #dc #ntt #teen titans #the titans #like and even ignoring that there's so much you could do with the idea of friendships & teams as communities if the job was given to #someone who actually fucking CARED about any of those things. #anti tom taylor #legit if i see anyone on the dash praising it i will lose all respect for their opinions. #this man is worse than every insta poet put together and we could have had SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER. #cis white guys write the most absolute crap-paper worthy at best stories&comic companies are just like ''here go. fuck up even MORE stuff'' #am angry #if you see the version of this post with a typo just say nothing. yes my brain was just going ''why why why why'' that hard.

Ok so here’s my thinking, Tom has feelings and sexual attraction for Greg, I have no doubt about that because of the last 3 seasons. I think in terms of requited tomgreg on Greg’s side the possibility was stonger then ever this episode, Greg was extremely touchy and the way he told Tom about his rummage 👀 but if I were to play devils advocate and say that tomgreg is unrequited (I can not play devils advocate completely and say tomgreg is not a thing at all because Tom’s feelings are obvious, it’s in the text) but let’s say that Greg is completely straight and doesn’t feel attraction to Tom, excessive touching can be platonic if you’re just really fond of someone, and him telling Tom about his sexual experiences, can be explained by boasting, but more importantly the need for approval from Tom. Greg has been seeking Tom’s approval for a long time, but it was more obvious this episode and before it was mainly from a career perspective, but now it’s from a personal life perspective as well.

Logan homophobically asked Greg “Where’s your old man?” But where is his dad actually, and where’s his mother? She isn’t exactly mother of the year either, she refused to give him any money when he was literally homless and then maxed out the credit card he gifted her when she thought things might go wrong for him when he was team Kendall! As for his Grandpa, Greg probably thinks the man hates him after greenpeace (even if he doesn’t, like Logan, Ewan doesn’t seem the best at showing his love) It may have been a pathetic and funny moment when Greg said to Kerry “I’m like an honoury kid” but it’s actually quite sad because as fucked up as the Roy’s are they're the closest thing Greg has got to family at the moment, even though Logan just tolerates him, I’m assuming Ken, Shiv and Rome actively dislike him now, Connor seems to like him a bit but they’re hardly close “Who has ever looked after you in this fucking family?” So in fact Tom may actually be the closest thing Greg has to family. Greg wants Tom to look after him, Greg wants Tom’s approval, Tom is about 12 to 16 years older then Greg, it is very possible that Greg views Tom as a sort of father figure, as fucked up as their relationship is.

If Greg keeps on having these girlfriends of the week, then he is going keep seeking Tom’s approval of them, but they will never get his approval for obvious reasons, but what if one of Greg’s girlfriends clocks onto Tom and confronts Greg about it “It’s so obvious that you want Tom to approve of me, but guess what asshole? He’s never going to approve of any of your girlfriends because he’s a closeted freak, whose in love with your ass!” If Greg does see Tom as a father figure but then realises that Tom is in love with him/sexually attracted to him, it would obviously seriously fuck him up, especially considering his real dad is gay and parallels Tom in more ways then one, as they were both in failing marriages with a Roy woman. It would be incredibly sick and twisted if they went there, but I think it would be consistent with the themes of the show.

#tomgreg #there’s a possibility that he sees Tom as a father figure AND is sexually attracted to him which is even more fucked #and will just make Greg feel worse #sickos #or maybe he doesn’t see Tom as a father figure at all and I’m rambling #tom wambsgans #greg hirsch #succession season 4 spoilers #succession spoilers

Jake and Ashley allying with Fiore because Jake’s insecure and wants revenge for perceived wrongs no matter the long-term cost and because Ashley wants to hold on to someone she barely knows because they’re the closest person she has to a friend even though she knows Fiore is bad news. God

#Jake and Ashley abandoning their morals arc when #I need them to get worse. and sad #also Alec and Fiore still caring about each other but not being able to admit it. sobbing. father daughter duo come back to me #also Gabby’s monologue to Ellie. and Tom tackling Jake. and Yul and Grett genuinely seeming to like each other #aughhhh. Episode(tm) #disventure camp spoilers #Hunter was also so fucking annoying this episode can’t wait for him and Ally to ramp up #(annoying /endearing. huntally divorce now tho)

How can I be expected to pay attention to a whole movie when all I really wanna do is skip to this man’s parts????? 

#tom glynn carney #the movie's doing money #its pretty rough but Ive seen worse so it didn't bother me #his parts are totally mint though #he's such a good actor like fuck #HE'S GOT THE RANGE #and dammnit hes so fucking fine in this #the little accent the earrings the chain the hair like fuck me sir please #i'll gladly do what you want

'live fast and prosper' is inherently hilarious bc of how deeply embarrassing it is for everyone involved. like these conmen are cosplaying as Star Trek™ characters. tom and neelix got tricked into helping a couple of Star Trek Aliens™. then the conmen got found out and captured within the span of a day. it's like the opposite of a normal episode. we're just doing a silly one!!!

#st voy #star trek: voyager #st voyager #star trek #voyager #tom paris #neelix #kathryn janeway #tuvok #THEY WHITEWASHED CHAKOTAY....... worse crime than lying abt orphans tbh #tom and neelix being like.... god we're not edgy anymore.. we care about others like a pair of fucking losers....... #when they started off as the preppiest most dorky people on the ship #like tom actually harry is cooler than you. somehow #6x21 #btw where's my prank episode. tuvok gets sick of tom and harry's antics and locks them in a saw-trap on the holodeck

[stuffyflowers]

they should have been a butch4butch couple

#watched memorial last night and you guys weren’t lying tom is such a piece of shit boyfriend. every time belanna and tom are on screen #together I am chanting ‘dump him dump him dump him dump him’ #every scene that treats belanna like toms fucking housewife makes me want to punch something so bad #anyway butch4butch b7. they hate each other they love each other they can make each other worse they’re the only ones who understand each #other etc etc

i honestly dont know what happened. i was so bamboozled by all the beautiful women in mission impossible dead reckoning one that now ive seen like ten tom cruise movies

#come to find out i should have just rewatched agent carter or something #genuinely though there are rats crawling in my brain. im losing my mind. and to make things worse im the most nuanced mission impossible gu #like it makes me sick to even think about stanning tom cruise. that guy is hilarious as a cultural figure but lmfao? lol??? #hes not a wet kitten hes a grown man thats an active recruiter for an exploitative religion ! also not convinced he has a soul. #like its captivating how much of a freak he is but that man is NOT a lesbian or whatever these weirdos are calling him #now i have a neil josten as ethan hunt manifesto im not gonna be able to do anything with bc im so fucking bad at writing (period) action #anyway. rebecca ferguson am i right.

[gregoftom]

some of y’all haven’t grown past the treating queer ppl like shit for liking a ship you don’t take seriously stage and it shows

#i think it’s suuuuuper funny that ppl act like only straight girlies like tg lmaooooo #and they act they r the ONLY ones criticising s4 which is uh. not true lmfao #and yk what it’s ok to feel let down by the fact that s3 finale and 4.01 happened and then took a back burner #ppl acting like tg have no focus whatsoever bffr??? lmao they’re one of the favourites of the show #not even shipping perspective - just their writing and interactions you can find article after article abt them/it #so muc as i fucking hate the term bromance that wouldn’t exist in a billion articles if there was nothing #and i’m gonna say smth radical here - it’s ok to like the show mostly for tg #gasp!!!! cant believe ppl might like snth the most that resonates w them or grips them or inspires them to create art/write #as queer ppl maybe it’s nice to see in such a popular and ‘’’serious’’’ show idk. but you get what i mean #and idk man i’m just getting wae flashbacks to years ago when mlm shippers were treated like abso garbage #*war #and yeah ok there ARE some ppl out there who are shitty i’m sure not that i’ve seen any on here but ok. but like. that’s the same for any #group of ppl lmaoooo #‘’’tg shippers are so annoying!!!’’’ why? bc they express frustration at seemingly loose ends of what looked like a tightly written story #abt charas they like togeyher?? no? ok then why speak your mind #and yk i wouldn’t be so skeeved out if it wasn’t ONLY the tg shippers being targeted like. yk how that looks right #literally ain’t seen shit for any other ship or chara enjoyer tbfh #ppl say they hate greg or tom but don’t come after apologists only talk shit abt shippers lol. so it’s ok if it’s not gay gotcha #you see what i mean??? anyway. #sorry for a rant but holy fuck. it’s worse on twitter than on here but 😬

okay. i did not care for the series finale of succession. i don’t know what i would have liked to have happened or what would’ve been a satisfying ending to me, but this felt anticlimactic and frankly kind of boring

#tom and greg ending up on top??? that used to be a fucking joke lmao like come on #not that that’s the worst outcome thematically but idk #i just felt like maybe there would be more to it #it just kind of felt. meh. which is almost worse than being actually bad imo #succession
