#been thinking about the placement of the showdown between belos and the hexsquad happening in ep 1 instead of anywhere else#mainly for lunter reasons if that is ever not obvious#(aka for a lunter endgame it makes more sense to have the ending of TTT happen in the last episode because Stakes)#(hunter actually dies and flapjack's sacrifice is the conclusion of the evelyn/caleb backstory)#(and it's pretty hard to work hunter or anyone from the hexsquad into the final showdown otherwise)#this is where the show shoots itself in the foot by having luz and hunter's relationship be on like tier C of importance#because it IS emotionally charged to see belos exerting that kind of power into the kid he groomed one last time#it IS emotionally charged to see luz wrestle with her determination to defeat belos and her love for hunter#it IS emotionally charged to know that someone will die here and it may be one of the kids#whereas the battle at the end of WAD is barely a battle and just meant to be the bow on top of luz's development#if luz and hunter's relationship had been more central to the show then hunter facing belos is a given AND a good narrative choice#who else gets to kill belos but the person created in the likeness of the one that made belos reach such lows to begin with?#or at the very least have the other people close to luz have some history with belos or something#eda couldn't care less about belos. same for king. and don't even get me started on amity...............#this is just a hexsquad problem btw like what is willow's bearing in this. the track system works wonders for her#in theory her life with belos as emperor is as good as it will ever be#same thing with gus#it's just hunter! that's the important piece there!#this show is just. broken. it truly refuses to bring up any of the actually interesting characters#sorry this rambling doesn't have a point besides 'toh is dumb sometimes' which is a thing i often say anyways#but man...... besides luz's resolution there's nothing to the ending. nothing.

shawn's deep trust of lassiter keeps catching me so off-guard like when he's held captive and lassie and henry both turn up he tries to yell "carlton" not "dad" and when he sees a guy with a gun come into the restaurant he goes straight for lassie and keeps trying to get his attention instead of literally any of the other dozens of cops in the room with them and when he's telling someone to call the police he tells them to ask for lassiter, not jules, not vick, lassiter. like he spends all his time provoking lassie but the second there's danger there's literally no one else he trusts more

Do you know the number of manga authors who have died in the last decade? Do you know the number of physical illnesses a mangaka can develop due to his work? Muscle and posture problems, kidney problems, circulation problems. Not to mention that in recent years it is also common to say “being sick” to have depression, something that many manga artists suffer from due to the media exposure of their works to hundreds of thousands of ungrateful people who constantly insult and harass them.
Some of y'all are disgusting.
I hope I don't see any of you posting ANYTHING about the importance of mental health on your shitty profiles after everything you're doing with Gege Akutami. You're so self-fucking-centered and ungrateful.

On the Gus sneaks into the castle a bunch to check in on Willow point, several possible implied things that may happen as a result
First option, Amity blunders into him whilst invisible, and recognizes him... and depending on when this happens (ie has she reconciled things with Willow yet, and is she aware he's been sneaking in) for the former, she's paranoid that clearly Willow hates her and has gotten her best friend and the best illusionist-wild witch around in to get rid of her (paranoia brain from her murdery roommates, also thinking she deserves it ) If it's a little later on (Hunter's looking for Gus, but he does not know he's Willow's bestie yet but Willow and Amity have patched things up) Amity recognises Willow's old friend and puts things together quickly... cooperation for anti grimwalker terrorism in the name of fun. What could be a lot more fun... Gus accidentally bumping into Luz. And having a little celebrity moment... not because she's the Empress, but because she's human and also doesn't suck and did all the cool stuff she did and Luz doesn't know how to handle it all. Does not know how to handle genuine unprompted praise from a stranger that isn't for just being the Empress, but for the things she's actually doing to fix things. She isn't doing it for anyone's praise and actually getting it unexpectedly is... jarring to say the least.
AW. both of these amity options are fun but the luz one is Getting Me. i do love the idea of gus having been fascinated by luz for a long time simply on account of her being The Human Princess. and then when she becomes empress, he's like actually she might just be based. like as a person. Cool Beans
gus earnestly tells her how much her outlook on magic means to him and to any other anti-coven people he knows (he probably has a network. he feels to me like a guy who can network shenanigans Especially once he's older). and then luz looks so taken aback and uncertain that gus is like "uh oh! too earnest!!" and so he cracks a joke about how if luz wasn't empress, he'd have had to join adrian's coven
and a second after he says it, he's like "...whoops, probably should not be shit-talking the coven heads to the empress."
but luz LAUGHS.
and then is like oh NO. pretend i didn't laugh.
highlight of gus's year. i think he and luz could get up to Shenanigans.

For the ao3 ask game :)
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
aaaa i have so many! here's one for each of my couples in psych
shawn & juliet:
shawn hides her makeup the day after so she can't hide her hickies.
gus & shawn:
they are both fundamentally opposed to labels. they never even talk about it, just tell people they're best friends and if anyone questions them they say their besties and they are. besties that have kissed and not just on a dare? yes. besties who adopted a dog together? yes. besties who lay all over each other while doing connections (well, gus does connections while shawn points out unhelpful observations in between rounds of maden)? yes. but they're not dating. they've never had """the conversation""" because both of them are just happy like this :)
juliet & carlton
qpr vibes only, but carlton is the little spoon and juliet brings it up in conversation with other people in a code only he knows to tease him ex: "yeah no he always goes in front of me... in crime scenes"
shawn & carlton:
low hanging fruit but they started as fuck buddies and still only say each others' last name in bed

it is so satisfying to me personally that there Are so many interactions between Shawn and Henry that are just Henry implying to outright stating that Shawn has a shaky grasp on “reality” — alien episode, scare fest episode, etc etc etc.
#N posts stuff#it is Interesting bc i think if SHAWN ever tried to argue from a place of like. self-awareness#like if Shawn ever said ‘You know I struggle with this’ then Henry would be like ‘get fucked you malingerer’#Henry can question Shawn’s grasp on reality but ONLY to try to Dictate what Shawn’s reality ‘should’ look like#Henry calls Shawn crazy Just to discredit and disparage him which is exactly why Shawn can like. Never come out of the crazy closet#or earnestly ask for help from his father bc Henry would not be open to hearing it Even Though he’d be the first to call Shawn crazy#similarly i wonder how Open shawn feels he can be with Gus given that gus is by definition a very Vocal supporter#of pharmaceutical intervention; shawn can be Weird and Goofy with Gus always#but if Shawn ever tried to have a frank ‘hey man I’m Crazy’ convo with gus it IS likely that gus would pull the same thing he does in the#scare fest episode of ‘i can get you a good deal on antipsychotics’ which shawn would Not fucking take#fascinating to put a crazy guy in the crossroads of ‘emotionally neglectful father’ and ‘cop girlfriend’ and#‘pill salesman best friend’ and Shawn sits politely on his motorcycle and is like ‘DO i get to have frank emotional honesty wirh#anyone i know regarding the fact that im crazy?’ and the answer is nooo but they still love him and he loves them#shawn is Peak double bookkeeping guy just like me frrrrrr more characters should be doing it like him

sorry im just thinking about bcs but like. why not add a few smaller scenes of gus interacting with his own men? why does it seem like, in comparison, mike is almost immediately elevated to a higher status than those two in bcs purely because we actually get to see him having normal conversations with gus? like i understand they might not keep the plot moving as well because of the fact obviously if victor is currently doing something it’s because gus told him to etc. but for the most part all of the smaller interactions gus does have with those two ends up being in a somewhat high stress situation where it feels very tense between everyone. and it’s just like damn! is it always like that?? why do those two even care that much about their jobs if their boss is a bit of a dick? etc. i think even an additional scene or two with those guys (either alone or the both of them) talking with gus in a more normal situation could’ve both added a bit more depth into how gus treats his employees (we got a lot with how he treats lyle and co., but not a whole lot with the illegal side of things), how comfortable vic and tyrus feel around him in a calmer setting, and exactly why they both feel the need to be as loyal as they are to the guy.
and also on the other side of this i don't think it'd hurt to maybe elaborate on their pay just a bit..? i'm not saying to randomly put a number out into the atmosphere but i just mean some smaller things like. do they buy nicer things for themselves? what's their housing situation? what's their car situation? are the escalade / yukon their own vehicles or does gus just use those two for business situations? do they use them when they're doing their own stuff off the clock or do they have their own cars? etc. that can also help with understanding their motivations a bit. don't get me wrong i don't think they should be visibly rich or something because that's not what gus would want but just smaller things! cause it's easy to write their loyalty off as Well they probably get paid super well, which i'm sure is true, but if they don't show a single hint of that then what's the point. even something as simple as giving tyrus a nice watch, or maybe victor having a nicer looking gun, etc. something small like that. because as it stands right now the average 41 year old viewer who watched the show once only knows and will only ever know victor and tyrus as those two guys in the background who do random stuff for gus with no clear motivation. just the personification of "On it boss (salute emoji)". and to be honest this is true for a whole lot of fans who do watch the show multiple times and enjoy thinking about it more in depth, because on screen we barely have anything about the two.
and to be clear i'm not trying to say we should have an episode just for them or something like no i understand they're side characters. i understand we don't need all that. and i understand this is also primarily Jimmy's show. but it's not like these two are on the same level as like, arlo or paige and kevin etc. these guys have been around since brba. victor was literally introduced in the same episode gus was. and they are a huge part of gus's story, especially in brba. s4 wouldn't have been what it was without victor and tyrus. and in bcs, ignacio's situation wouldn't have been the same if it weren't for victor and tyrus as well. and i just personally believe that if their goal with gus in bcs was to go back and elaborate on how everything came to be and show what he was like a few years younger, they could've dragged victor and tyrus into that. and i think his character would've benefited from taking that extra step with those two.
#gray.txt#and you know. obviously i personally have my own clear ideas of everything. and i'm content with what i got. this isn't coming from a place#of Well victor is my favorite guy so everything should be about him LOL. i know what he is.#but thats only because i spent like what? 2 years now watching random interviews and analyzing the smallest details within the show that#genuinely meant nothing while they were writing the scripts. and then throwing some random ideas at the wall to see if they stick.#and i just dont think everybody should have to do that LOL. and i think gus's character gets a lot more interesting#when do you do have this clear idea of victor and tyrus in your head and how he interacts with them. but 99% of people dont have that!#nobody fucking knows everything giancarlo and vince ever said about box cutter. nobody knows about the interview where giancarlo referred t#his entire business (meth and restaurant) as his 'family'. and they'd never think of that in those terms#because with the exception of his restaurant workers and mike#it feels like he HATES them LMAO.#tldr all i'm saying is i think we could've benefited from at least one 1 minute long scene of victor and gus exchanging words#where it doesn't end in gus snapping the phone in half out of anger. and also let tyrus speak his mind and have gus agree with him once#also yeah sorry this is all over the place but it is somehow the most coherent i have felt in months so this is as good as its getting sorr#sorry .#also to be clear about my earlier statement that’s a lie my idea of those two is not clear in my head whatsoever i just meant in comparison#to literally the average viewer. and my own personal thoughts about them aren’t even true it’s just opinions and guesses.#and i love a character that i can just say shit about but at the same time i think it’s fun to have idk something in the source material#that you can actually use while thinking and not have to dig around 11 year old reddit AMAs#and that money paragraph sort of came out of order what i meant by saying all that is like#i feel those two could benefit from a clear motivation for why they do all the things they do#and if we have neither personal reasons nor monetary reasons then it just makes them feel like one dimensional henchmen or something#came out of no where* not order you dumb fuck (< me)#also it doesn’t have to be clear in our faces or anything whatever you know what i’m saying . this is too long i can’t keep elaborating

💛for Cats ask
💛 What’s your favorite familial ship?
Second favorite familial ship since I just answered this one with Sillabub and Tugger lol. Next is Misto and Vicky!!! I am soooo basic when it comes to some headcanons but thats because theyre good <3 They have such sibling vibes in(most) productions, i swear. I mostly think theyre biologically related and they bounce off each other in this crazy way where people can only *sometimes* get that theyre siblings, and other times theyre like "hmmm... theyre close but look nothing like each other...." (i love stories with siblings who look nothing alike)

the regency period is another one of these! I know this is more directly because of Jane Austen and her impact on English literature, but it’s another example of a 40 year period that we obsess over way more than the times before or after
Tumblr media
My theory as to why times like this loom larger in popular consciousness is BECAUSE they were so short, and made a big cultural impact but never really got to be normalized for more than a generation. Like…if I grew up on my parents talking about how they were terrified of pirates (or honestly even aware of pirates) when they were traveling, I’d spend a lot of time thinking about oh wow what must that have been like? Not common enough to become quotidian, but with a big enough impact on people (scary) that they’ll still talk about it years later.
There are certain very specific, unsustainable periods of history.
The Golden Age of Piracy lasted from the 1650s to the 1730s, and was really three different waves of piracy that all had their own specific causes and characters. My personal favorite has always been the post-Spanish Succession period, when a bunch of sailors and privateers were left unemployed and turned en masse to piracy since those were the skills they'd picked up during the war. This supply of pirates was obviously non-renewable.
The Wild West lasted between 1865 and 1895, depending on who you ask, not even a full human lifetime. It's a very narrow band of time, and of course it wasn't sustainable, there was only so much land to colonize.
There are lots of these times of change, conquest, colonization, and war, particularly in the last three hundred years. I always think they're interesting, mostly in how quickly the course of history moves on to some other relatively more steady state.
There's a thing that speculative fiction does where it stretches specific periods out to extremes, most notably with Medieval Stasis, but I think it's far funnier when applied to these tiny slices of history that have ballooned in the public consciousness. Either it takes heroic feats of worldbuilding to make it make sense, or everyone is just sort of okay with the idea of a Golden Age of Piracy that's implied to have lasted for a millennia.
#not to yell about lonesome dove again but I feel like good westerns will talk about this!!!#so many westerns have a sort of melancholy about them and they’re often like…pinned on romance#oh he’s sad bc he’s a wanderer and had to leave his girl behind to go do whatever the fuck#oh he’s sad bc his brother died#and like yeah colonization and cattle runs were very dangerous. lots of people died.#the reason they were successful is bc more and more people were willing to go#same thing as initial British colonization it’s not that they were good at it#it’s that the empire had tons of people they could throw at the problem until enough of them lived to make it stick#but the thing is. like the post says about piracy like there WERE a limited number of pirates#bc if you’re not training thousands of men to sail around attacking and stealing other ships#most men are going to choose safer professions#similarly. part of the melancholy of the westerns is that those who did live through the period#we’re adapted to an extremely niche way of life that they knew they were losing!#which is explicitly discussed in the beginning of lonesome dove!#bc those characters were Texas rangers and Gus actually talks about how#they wanted to leave behind the civilized city life or whatever and leave behind the lawyers and bankers to protect women and children#and yeah there were some families they were protecting but they were also just. killing native people so the lawyers and bankers feel safe#moving their cities further into the niche that the rangers tried to create for themselves#like they knew it wasn’t going to last long and they knew their way of life was over and that’s hard#and Gus accepts it but call doesn’t and that’s why the whole thing ends in tragedy bc call can’t live in the world he helped create#anyway. I have also been thinking a lot about the count of Monte cristo and how we love a violent revenge story#and just how many adaptations and spin offs there are…#like it’s the taste of excitement and adrenaline we get from telling these stories without actually being in danger ourselves#and I feel like these specific times and places are full of that excitement#that again feels a little bit more exciting bc it is something that’s so alien to our current lived experience#anyway my thoughts on this post are all over this place I should write a real essay
