#BUT SHE REALLY HATES PRISONS. ]

[monostardust]

*sighs* Silco, Silco he's, he was a good father to Jinx yeah I mean sure not perfect but he did everything he could to raise and stabilize Jinx's fragile and chaotic mental stability the way he knew how. Silco sees himself in Jinx but he knows she's far more troubled than him. He tries to help her overcome her trauma the only way he knows how by telling her how he overcame his. He's not perfect he's most definitely not the ideal father but for a villain I gotta give credit where it's due. Unlike other villains he actually loved and cared for Jinx. She's his baby, the only one he has a soft spot for. He really loved that little girl, his daughter, the one he trusted the most, his only successor. I also think he was similar to Jinx with how he despised Vi like how Jinx despised Caitlyn. Silco hated Vi thinking she's just like Vander, a traitor, someone who abandoned Jinx. I guess that's why he wanted her dead. In his mind he really thinks Vi is nothing more than that, that she's just someone who'll continue to hurt his kid and that's why she gotta go.

Buffy Summers is dead. Willow isn't going to let it stay like that. But it's a big job bringing someone back from the dead, it'd be easier with another Slayer watching over things. Even if that Slayer is a convicted murderer. But Willow's smart, she's good at everything she puts her mind to, nothing bad is going to happen.

It's finish my WiPs June and it's been six months I finally finished my WiPs and posted the prologue of my s5.5 Willow drags Faith out of jail to be the interrim slayer while she's working on the whole Buffy resurrection. This doesn't actually happen yet in the chapter I've finished but it is the vibes. If you want more info on the big picture I am going to copy paste my tags from the old piece into this one.

Also @ ing at everyone who was into this in the reblogs of the wip so @explosionshark @faithlehanebpdgirlie @droamiin @brownshoes

Realized this while playing Birushana. Tomomori. You know.

it’s not a coincidence that season four, the season where debbie hits puberty, is the season where the fandom starts to gang up on her.

Put The Bros through the redesign machine. What do we think? Let me know!

(I think I'm going to do all of the characters like this but that sounds like a lot of work so we'll see.)

Amanda... I miss her.

But I don't trust a single person to write her other than Ostrander/Yale. Like I don't trust them to do it right. Because like it's easy to write her being shady and manipulative and involved in secret government conspiracies. That's what she does. But it feels so hollow once you've seen her character in the way Ostrander describes it. Like she is a woman who is desperate and trying to do what she thinks is right. She has found a place of power (as a fat Black woman in the 1980s) and is doing anything she can to fight and hold onto it as powerful and ambitious men try and steal it from her. So she doubles down. She doubles down on the shady deals and the broken promises and the violence and she destroys her enemies, and loses a part of her soul in the process. And then some other ambitious politician rises up and the process repeats itself over and over and over again as each time she loses more of her morality and more of her soul and more of the respect her colleagues had for her. In place of that she gains more power, she gains fear, and an even more badass reputation. Until by the end of the book the villains begin to understand/sympathize with her more than the heroes ever will. Like THAT is who Amanda Waller is. It may happen subtly, it may happen over a longer period of time but that descent is a critical part of her character! She is a tragic character! And I feel like every perception of Suicide Squad I've seen outside of the original has her as this static villainous snapshot which is just untrue to her core imo. Like she is not a hero. But she is also not JUST a villain. She is a highly flawed character who is always descending farther and farther into villainy as she is led there by what she believes is right.

I change my vision depending on the selfship tbh

[widowshill]

If you're still doing character bingo and haven't gotten her yet: Laura Murdoch Collins <3

a few people requested her and i think it's because everyone knows that i'm batshit (ha) insane about this woman. what if bertha mason was a blonde femme fatale in the middle of collinsport's most toxic manslaughter polycule. i'm in love with her. laura collins wants to grill me to a crisp? medium or medium well my beautiful beloved terrible wife?

This is my vision for the s5.5 Willow drags Faith out of jail to Sunnydale to be interrim Slayer while she's working on the Buffy res AU.

[james-stark-the-writer]

just finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and it is a game written by cowards for cowards.

the final twist genuinely ruins the game. it's so stupid as a narrative decision. i hate it so much. it almost makes me understand what the people yelling about The Last Jedi being too subservient to its themes were yelling about (OBVIOUSLY not the ones that were being bigoted and loud and wrong about it, but just the ones who had actual issues with its narrative directions/execution). genuinely, the twist takes what could have been an extremely solid 8.5, maybe a 9/10 game down to a 4/10 game with nothing of interest to say deluding itself into thinking it's saying anything of worth by thoughtlessly repeating patterns as if that's supposed to generate meaning without any real effort of actually committing to that meaning, or seeing the world as anything beyond its basic binary worldview of Good and Bad.

putting that twist in fundamentally cuts the legs out from any actual, interesting and substantive critique it could have leveled at the legal system and our feelings about people on trial and their perceived guilt or innocence, and it just ends up reinforcing it as a power of good that Will Ultimately Prevail In The Search For Truth, as if that is even remotely a thing any legal system is concerned with, especially the one in the game that mostly just stumbles into The Right Choices because it's a game controlled by the player. it's frankly ideologically incoherent to the point of saying nothing because its critique is unfocused and toothless. best it can muster is "maybe some people are corrupt and lying, but if You take Advantage of The System, you can beat them" as if malicious compliance is supposed to change the system. fuck off.

ran out of tags but. i'm serious about this lol, i really hate it as a narrative and ideological choice. the game threatens to say something bold and interesting and then just pulls the rug out from underneath you. it sucks. it's very much like 12 Angry Men in that way, i think, except at least that movie Knows what it's saying and that its basic premise is its ideological downfall, this just doesn't really feel like it says anything much interesting or coherent, ultimately, because the criticism either drowns in the length and comedic nature of it, or just ultimately isn't focused and pointed and nuanced enough to actually say something meaningful. like ik someone's gonna do a "kid's game" thing but hello, kid's shit has always been nuanced and just bc it's "for kids" doesn't mean it has to abide by some binary ass morality that flattens all its interesting critique, especially when you're constantly led, structurally, to the more interesting and nuanced narrative choice only to have a twist completely ruin it and making it all feel like a waste of your time. plenty of things are nuanced and interesting and "for kids" without deflating their themes and messages by writing a stupid twist that undercuts the interesting parts of its arguments.

[linagram]

i had thoughts

[belovedpetz]

also idont knowwwwww im probably being overly sensitive again but i find it a little bit upsetting that ppl r so quick to talk about how manipulative and evilllll tenna is for like Very Obvious mentally ill traits he has vs literally any of the actual bad things he did like. mistreating his employees LOL

[mxdotpng]

time for eden posting. nope, not that one. not that one either. yes, the other one. the final fantasied one. the one that split his soul into halves and then survived the sundering because he got locked in a box. and then the box got eaten by a space whale. that eden

[deadpandyke]

anyway after finally watchin arcane s2 i dont think i ship caitvi anymore lol

ugh i gotta include some of the shit i was gonna keep in the tags cuz i ran outta room LMAO aaaanyyywaaayyy needless to say #spoilers for s2 ahead lol also take wut i say w a grain of salt cuz my memory is hazy n ive only watched thru it once so there could be things im forgettin or misrememberin)

honestly i just found their 'ending' incredibly sad, mainly for vi. and i found their storyline in the second season incredibly painful. which rly fuckin sucks cuz i hate that i dont like one of the few canon lesbian relationships in (more) mainstream media 💀 and their sex scene reeeaaallly pissed me off. like seriously?? u wanna bone right fuckin now???????

n dont even get me STAARTTTTEEEDD on the copaganda

(i def have more to say but this + n the tags is all imma go into rn. rereadin everythin ive already thought of more articulation for my points but i dont have the energy to make a whole second post lol)

(okay actually last thing lol. i feel like a huge difference between jayvik n caitvi is the resolution of the conflict between em. i finished s2 a lil bit ago so theres prolly shit im forgettin, but i feel like caitvi didnt actually have a resolution to the conflict between them. it was kinda just... brushed under the rug after the fight since jinx 'died', and while i do find the resolution between jayvik a lil rushed (iirc) at least there was Somethin yknow)

[linagram]

me: alright i'll go write about riku having a completely 100% purely platonic relationship with yue. i'll write about them being besties. buddies. friends even.

[sanjarka]
