I haven't watched yet the latest yet bc I'm waiting for it but it makes me sad that some people are irrationally mad at Percy :(( like yea, of course he's an asshole and he def should have helped (bc I'm selfish and miss Laudna) but that was also his abuser that caused the hate that consumed him for so long. Idk I just feel like this is a unique situation where we have both sides and so many layers and some are choosing to be ignorant with it. more angry at Percy than Deliah herself.

yeah i mean i think this kind of discourse always crops up when something like this happens, i try not to engage bc i think it's silly lol. i think matt did a rly good job of showing that vm has been settled and happy where they are and relaxed (more or less) for 30 years now, and percy's confusion of "why should we bring this person back when people die every day and we do nothing about it" and assertion of "delilah briarwood does not come back, period" are both very grounded in not only his previous experiences with delilah but also in the fact that he has a family and a city and a world that he tried very very hard to free from her grasp. there is really no reason they should be bringing delilah back into this world when they don't absolutely have to, especially when the alternative is letting her fade into (seemingly) permanent oblivion at the cost of only one woman's life. it's not a terribly complicated concept, ppl who refuse to see it are just not trying hard enough or choosing not to tbh lmao

HWEVENT19 - Closed starter for @ofsvnlightt (Laudna x Percy)

Percy needed a break from the busier part of the event. He found a quiet bench by some paintings, his cane leaning against it at his side. He wondered if he would ever get to a point where he didn't need it anymore. Where he could be strong again. Not wanting to be a burden to Vex he'd give her some time to have fun without him.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

Imogen/Laudna shippers. They harassed people and whined for years about how if you think the ship is mid you're a misogynist and a lesbophobe, before turning right around and calling Beau/Yasha boring. They insisted that Imogen is good and kind and kind and good and you can't ever criticize her or you're a misogynist, and then the only thing they had to say when Imogen started sympathizing with the gods was to lament that she was too emotional and empathetic. They drove so much discourse—about the gods, about Bor'dor, about the shard, about the sword—because they refused to allow Imogen or Laudna to be viewed as anything other than blameless victims, cute little mousies with no agency to ever cause harm, and then demanded that everyone praise Imogen for every amazing courageous choice she made. (Laudna's choices rarely got spotlighted, probably because she barely did anything in 121 episodes and the choices she did make are the ones her stans had to defend her from.) They fueled discourse that the gods are colonizers and that defending c3 is praxis while doing everything in their power to shield the feelings of two fictional skinny femme white women.

And frankly, I'm not surprised more people don't say anything! Even among people who like it, more than one person has admitted either to me in private or in smaller groups I happen to be part of that they think these shippers are scary, or that "cr twitter" is scary while tiptoeing around any specifics. Imogen and Laudna's own fans are a big part of the reason people who normally write meta stopped writing anything about them—it didn't help that there was rather little to write about, but if you engaged with them as characters in a story and not dolls to keep in their boxes and coo over from a distance, you opened yourself up to either harassment, shittalking behind your back, or both. Considering how much they resent everything else Critical Role does that isn't a vessel for The Ship, I'll be glad to see the back of them once they leave.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

Fanon is not sacrosanct just because fans came up with it. Obviously don't harass people about fanon, you are grown, but people are not coming into your house and breaking your tablet over their knee if they say in their own space "this fanart/fanfic trend is dumb".

13. worst blorbofication

I've alluded to the issues with Imogen and Laudna, so I'm going to pick some low-hanging fruit and say that it's incredibly tiresome to still be finding Percy x Reader or OC content in the year 2025. Like first of all that man is not a dom and doesn't want to be, second of all you can have bad taste all you want but at least tag it consistently. Once the M9 show comes out Caleb's tag is going to be a hellpit.

This animatic is still one of the my favourite animatics. Think about it, Radio demon and Luck demon need show demons that they work together now. Then Serenity goes like : I have an idea then this happens

Missed Opportunities:

While I did love a lot of the aspects of the finale, I walked away feeling a bit empty? Maybe confused is the right word.

I’m still not fully settled with the finally, maybe it’s the whiplash of seeing Omega all grown up, or Crosshair claiming that clone force 99 died with tech after so many episodes of his death never being acknowledged by him, or maybe the shock that CX-2’s identity really turned out be unimportant or needing to take a day and rewatch the episode again. But I do feel like either the pacing is what put me off or there were arcs we were following that end up being incomplete.

I’ve seen a few people bring up the missed opportunity that the writers had to really tear at our hearts with the lack of CX-2’s identity being revealed.

I just feel like it could’ve been a full circle if crosshair had been the one to change his mind and be determined to bring his family back together, to use the hope omega has shown him and given him, that he won’t leave his family. The show demonstrates his PTSD and his hesitancy to return to tantiss, and throughout the season it had Crosshair revealing more and more about the information he had about the tests and operations. We know that he was tortured and went through the painful process of reprograming that had failed on him, but it almost feels like the progression was leading to a bigger reveal, like he had this massive secret that he refused to share under any circumstance. That paired with the absence of any acknowledgment of tech’s death by Crosshair besides yelling that clone force 99 died with tech, when season 1 really pushed with the fault being on the empire, that crosshair’s loyalty to that authority being the reason the team was never the same again. He knows that he made his own bed and had to lie in it, the deep seated isolation looming over him throughout season 2 really hammered in how much of a mistake it was to refuse rejoining his brothers. The team was never complete without their brother, and you feel the weight when Tech pushes for Crosshair’s rescue. “He is our brother. We do not leave our own behind.”

Crosshair’s growth this season has been wonderful to see, and I feel like rampart singling him out to be “just like him” which he corrects just furthers this idea that he’s changed a lot, that his perspective has changed. Having Crosshair going through this journey of guilt and self forgiveness is so important, and I want that to be echoed to others. From “I deserve to be in here” to “none of us belong here.” Repeating omegas words. Wouldn’t it be so impactful to have Crosshair come face to face with his brother who had faith in him all along when he had been turned by the inhibitor chip and for Crosshair to be the one to hold out hope. For Crosshair being placed in Hunter’s position from season 1 being helpless to save his brother from the empire, forced to leave him behind, but this time they are not abandoning anyone, not again. From giving up ever rejoining his family, literally fighting to send a message that they should go into hiding vs. trying his best to bring his family back together. From tech always having faith, hope that his brother would join them once more, going on that horrid mission in the hope that they might gain info to rescue cross vs. it’s crosshair that has faith that tech will come back to them, standing in the face of death in order to bring his brother home. To not give up on each other, even when the empire has done everything to tear them apart.

The idea that tech’s sacrifice could be represented in his fractured mind, would hold weight to his fall. The clone that’s mutation is to have an accelerated brain functions and highly enhanced technology skills is now failing to remember keys details or who he even used to be. He has to rebuild himself, rediscovering who he was and who he wants to become. He’s not doing it alone, his family and Phee provide support every step of the way, helping him reconnect to memories that had been burned away. If cross still loses his hand, then both of them would be in a similar spot where they now have to become more than what they were originally programmed and created to be. Finding a new purpose, creating your own future.

I’m gonna give it a day, try to rewatch the finale without crying this time. The moment where Omega adjusts Tech’s goggles hit me like a plane crash, like damn.

(I really did love the epilogue showing hunter’s continued care and support for Omega, and her being so passionate about helping others. My heart really did want 4 seasons of this show, I just wanted more time with these characters. My heart was so proud of Omega, just like hunter was.)

Okay, this is likely the only thing I'll post on the Bad Batch finale situation:

Tech fans, I would like you to stop calling yourselves "delusional." (Or delulu, or any variant.) I would sincerely ask others to stop as well.

It is both ableist and quite literally inaccurate from a storycraft standpoint.

(Especially because we're talking about a likely neurodivergent character and definitely many neurodivergent fans.)

You weren't. We weren't. The signs were there. The foreshadowing (falling into clouds, the goggles, CX2's Everything) was real and consistent and *intentional.* You are not delusional for LOGICALLY FOLLOWING writing convention patterns and leading where the writing is directing you. (If there's something the majority of autistic story-enthusiasts are good at, it's logical storycraft and pattern recognition, both in creating and consuming! We know how to follow basic steps!)

They can say "oh it was just a red herring", and that is Technically (ha) true, but it is one of the most blatant and frankly cruelly marketed ones, that smacks of stringing fan emotions along to keep us watching when they know many would stop watching if they knew what lay ahead. (Using a basically-confirmed-autistic character's death for shock value and little else, and then using the ambiguity of Is He Really Dead Or Is He This Extremely Similar Looking Guy We Brought in Right After' to keep churning up social media buzz. I might have.)

You were not delusional to have hope - that's what Star Wars is about.

You are not delusional to think this is wrong, a writing fumble, or simply them yanking the football away when *it was there all along.* The road signs were clear, they were just... lying, for lack of a better term.

You're not wrong for being upset about this, the latest in a long history of autistic characters treated as plot devices and catalysts for neurotypical characters' development rather than their own, and fans taken advantage of.

Please treat yourselves better. And if you're on the outside, or neurotypical, please treat us better. I promise, we have actual reasons for feeling pain right now, and delusions are not at all among them.

Thank you.

IM SEARCHING EVERYWHERE AND I FEEL LIKE IM STILL ALONE IN THIS WTF

whERE ARE THE LOKIBILLY SHIPPERS

you assbutts

we needed to assemble and suffer together

[abl0gnam3lia]

Thinking about Ballister caring for his wound alone. Having to cauterize it and clean it and care for it. Dealing with that overwhelming pain, not just the physical but the emotional of knowing that he’s in so much pain because of the man he loved. Cleaning it every day until it becomes a numb force of habit. Struggling with phantom pains and chronic pain and having to make himself a new arm because his dominant hand is gone. While simultaneously trying to figure out how he’s going to clear his name, how he’s going to fix this, but he’s in too much pain to even think properly.

Thinking about Ballister sobbing, wailing, into the blood-soaked floor, wracked with agony, with no one there to help or comfort him.

Because the one person that had cared about him was the one who had done this to him.

Im new and here's a first post talking about how Sam deserves to be with his space fam ( this is Marvel related btw)

The MCU has been not so gud lately, I don't think u need ANOTHER person saying that. But just like everyone else I do think that the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie is SO FUCKING GOOOD. And it got me realise something, other then the fact that I didn't realise how much of a fan I was of the Guardians, I ALSO realise that there isn't any fanfiction with Sam Alexander with any of the Guardians. If you don't know who Sam is he is the 2nd Nova in the Comics while Richard is the first. U can do ur research I'm not really here to summarise his character but he does technically interact with them in the comics, and the Ultimate Spider - man cartoon and Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon, there are more interactions that he has with them. And I honestly think he would have an interesting dynamic with them and adds something to the group, u know being the only kid in the group. But I see on AO3, there's barely ANY fanfics of him with them if not at all and I see this as a federal crime. How dare u people not do anything with this? There's so much potential, hell try making a fanfic that maybe inserts him in the MCU somehow or how he fits in the group literally ANYTHING GOOD MY SON HAS SO MUCH TO ADD. Look maybe I'm asking for too much, plus Richard is a lot more interesting as a character but STILL. IM GOING ABSOLUTELY FERAL KNOWING THAT THERES BARELY A TINY SALT OF CONTENT OF SAM AND THATS JUST A HATE CRIME AGAINST HIM. ALSO ALSO HE DESERVES HIS BESTIES MILES AND KAMALA TOO, YEP, THATS RIGHT IM GETTING THEM INVOLVED TOO. Imagine the trio discussing their families and then we have Sam, who not only has a mom and a sister, BUT A MCFREAKING SPACE FAM CONSISTING OF A TALIING TREE, A GUN SHOOTING RACCON, AND ASSASSIN WHOS THE MOST DEADLIEST WOMAN IN THE GALAXY, A QUOTE ON QUOTE DESTROYER AND A PIRATE/ CRIMINAL. The reaction to that would just be so-

So uhmm, I'm yeah case in point Sam deserves more Fanart and Fanfic with his Space family and Miles and Kamala ( or boyfriend and girlfriend-) and he deserves to be in the MCU to share Saif dynamics with said characters.

Note: so if there is any updates about, you know, fanfiction related to my boy Sam with his Space Fam let me know please, I beg.
