Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991). A cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.

It really does have to be straight up one of the best action movies of all time, and one of the best sequels. Taut, thrilling, action packed, and genuinely pretty emotional - it's one of the few action movie classics that really lives up to the hype. 8/10.

I think my interpretation of what mephone4's recovery would look like shifts a little depending on how old he is. Like, not by much, but by a little bit.

This is basically just me rambling about mephone4 during/post-canon. I love mephone4 he makes me ill so I want to ramble. Let me have this.

If mephone4 is an adult I think that putting more responsibility on his actions than if he was a child is necessary.

He is an abuse victim, he was scared, unsure, desperately trying to escape his abusive father and became extremely jaded (?) and traumatized because of it, BUT he still put a lot of mental turmoil on his contestants, and traumatized many of them in turn. He still hurt so many of them so badly and that is inexcusable (he is aware of this).

Hes emotionally constipated and repressed to a fault and is by no means a bad person but like. Tissues. Suitcase. Taco. Bow. Any of the contestants that wouldn't forgive him are completely valid to do so, and it's HIS responsibility to improve himself and his behavior so that, if he ends up meeting them again, he doesn't repeat the previous patterns he has in the past.

His general veneer of cockiness, apathy, and being kind of an asshole to his contestants, his showing bias and unfair inconsistent challenges, being generally dismissive of his contestants feelings, are all things he did. I do think it's a result of having cobs as a father and all the trauma he's experienced as a result of that, buuuuuut he needs to work on himself and only he can fix his bad behavior (with the support of family and hopefully a therapist).

Which is why I think mephone4's apology was extremely needed and I am SO FUCKING GLAD that they were like "yeah mephone4 fucked up. He should give everyone space to grow into new people and so that he can also grow and finally do something for himself so that he can be truly happy instead of just living on the high of escapism and and projecting his issues and problems onto his contestants." (<- all of this is said lovingly. I promise I love him so much. nomming on him).

He absolutely needs a loving support system and also 10 years of therapy and he's already on the right track :) he needs to learn to hold himself accountable for his actions (which he is starting to I'm so proud), and how to effectively communicate his feelings along with not taking them out on others and that takes time, but I believe in him I love him so muchhhh hic hic sob.

If mephone4 is a child then his situation is 10x more tragic oh my god. You can definitely acknowledge that his actions were fucked up on several levels, but him being an abuse victim (which definitely hindered his emotional development) PLUS literally most likely not physically mature enough to process his own feelings and the actual implications of what he's done to his contestants then, yeah, I would give him more grace.

(I'm pretty sure this also applies to if he was an adult but yeah), I can't speak for everyone, but a common defense mechanism ive noticed in young people around me (and myself personally) is apathy and indifference towards everything, even topics that would typically be upsetting or uncomfortable to talk about.

Instead of dealing with your emotions or the pain you cause other people, you laugh it off and avoid it for as long as you can, and usually when you can't avoid it anymore, you become defensive and anxious. (Once again. In my experience. And from what I've seen from other people. Avoidance instead of acceptance).

Of course, this doesn't mean that the contestants would be evil for not understanding or not forgiving him. What he did was fucked up, and children also need to take responsibility for their actions as it is a crucial part of their emotional development.

But he's still a child. The things he would need to work on would not be things he could do on his own. He needs someone to take care of him and help him.

Not any of the contestants, definitely, but someone to take him in and show him the unconditional parental love he never got to have. It's less on him to deal with his shit (even though it's still on him to an extent) and moreso about having someone to help him fix his behavior less so by like personal self reflection on his own (too young for that) and moreso by being shown the right behaviors and having a safe person to tell him when he's wrong who will still provide unconditional love to him and help him reflect on his behavior. (Like like ballpoint pen 🥺🥺)

Anyway I love mephone4. Idk I just wanted to ramble this has no real point. Lol

Here's an article on ancient french swearing words and phrases that might be interesting to someone who (like me) is reading Dumas and is wondering wtf is "morbleu" and "vertudieu"

(there's no "ventre-de-biche" which "expresses surprise, disapproval, indignation" according to this article and is frequently used by Chicot)

Dick Tracy (1990). The comic strip detective finds his life vastly complicated when Breathless Mahoney makes advances towards him while he is trying to battle Big Boy Caprice's united mob.

Sin City eat your heart out! This honestly has to be one of the most stylish and thoughtfully-made adaptations from a visual standpoint - art department, costume and hair and make-up teams were truly firing on all cylinders, and it's as camp as it is sumptuous. It's also just really fun? I can't imagine a comic book adaptation taking this sort of risk in 2025, which is a bummer, because sure, it doesn't always work, but when it does, it really does. I can't believe this hasn't become a cult classic. 7.5/10.

New update! Wherein "Tommy" and "Technoblade" begin to bond, the monsters beginning to realize how close they've gotten together over their months pretending to be Philza's children. Well, when they aren't wanting to kill each other, that is. Feeling guilty for their part in causing the family to starve, "Technoblade" tries to make it up to Philza by ensuring he feels safe. Just because Philza's happiness has an inverse correlation with his suspicion of the monsters! That's all! "Technoblade" doesn't care if Philza survives this, stop reading into their motives. They don't trust him even slightly! Totally!

Mind the tws, and enjoy!

The fic feels like it’s actually working rn. It’s not working well, but it’s working and that’s enough.

So far I got Tonia being a lovely kitty, the mannequins being helpful, 32 less spelling errors out of an infinite amount, Desmond being the Most Confused Man In The CU, and more than a couple headcanons of mine that sorta change the game a bit, but it’s whatever.

I’m still not happy with it, I’ve got so much more fixing upping to do and stuff, but I’m becoming more hopeful, at least :D.

I’ve also got a list of little things that I’ve noticed, and some random voicelines and stuff. AR has a lot to say, apparently, lol. I’ll probably post some of the stuff I got sometime.
