I designed this Tiffany lamp themed bulbasaur with a lot of hesitation. I’m not sure how the design conveys but I thought she would be cool what with the pull string whips and all.

Okay I know this has been called tragic in hindsight because of all the *gestures vaguely* but there is no moment in Daredevil that makes me laugh harder than when college!Foggy goes

“You and me, Maverick and Goose, no secrets!”

to a guy he met ~30 seconds ago, and Matt’s response is not “haha okay” or “we’ll see, I just met you.”

Matt Murdock, the guy who doesn’t see a lot of movies but likes records, just sort of blurts, “Goose DIES.”

BAM. Cue 20 year best friendship.

Jason: how ya likin’ that comic, kiddo? Damian: I do not understand. Jason: what? It’s just a spider-man comic. What’s not to understand? Damian: why is Parker pursuing this red-haired woman, who does not seem to enjoy his company further than any other, rather than his friend, Osborn? Osborn has given multiple hints that he would prefer their relationship to go beyond platonic Jason: Jason: *glances over at Jon, who is reading a Daredevil comic on the other bed* Damian: should he not pursue Osborn, considering he is already aware that their relationship can withstand hardship? Friendship is a sturdy baseline for which romance can be built soon. And besides, Mary Jane is an un-compelling idiot with mediocre looks. Jason: Jason: this explains so much

Thinking about Smoke being the most honest with Sammie outside of Stack and Annie. Him talking the most to Sammie, too.

Thinking about Pearline and the theory of her also having griot abilities.

Thinking about how the woman to the right of Pearline, her left, was specifically referred to as her ancestor during the scene with I Lied to You. And you can feel it in how the music spurs them and rattles in their bodies.

Thinking about how Smoke not only teaches the girl he hires to watch his truck the value of negotiating, but when she yells out "theyre stealing!" He affirms her, calmly with a single "mhm" before he opens fire. In that moment it reads to me as him telling the girl that he sees and that hes not upset with her, that shes done her job and hes glad she didn't try to fight them and called for him instead.

Thinking about how Smoke and Stack even drive differently. How Smoke virtually never takes his eyes off the road, but Smoke can't stop looking anywhere but the stretch in front of him.

Thinking about how Smoke, despite being a man of few words, will initiate conversation with his loved ones with no hesitation.

Thinking about how Smoke says I love you first before they part ways to set up the juke.

Thinking about how Slim is immediately taken to Sammie and assumes the role of a grandfather and mentor to him, even risking his life.

Thinking about how Slim was terrified just like everyone else but stood on business to protect Sammie, telling Remmick and the rest that no, Sammie belongs to them, belongs with them.

Thinking about how Slim, moments before sacrificing himself had the thought to hand Sammie his guitar, and it saves Sammie's life, that single moment. The fact that Slim saw the guitar as an extension of Sammie and that he would need to keep it with him, and in the end it buys Sammie enough time for Smoke to help him.

Thinking about how there was fresh milk out for Annie and Smoke's baby, before Smoke got there.

Thinking about Smoke watching Annie cast her Divination and knowing she thinks she won't make it. About how he refuses to even allow her to finish showing him what to do once he understands. How disgusted and alarmed he is to bring violence upon her in even that hypothetical.

Thinking about how they so heavily imply Stack to be claustrophobic/afraid of being alone in closed spaces due to either war or their father's abuse.

Thinking about how after Mary is bitten it's implied that Remmick is looking through her and remembers Cornbread denying him with her sass of if he will let her in.

Thinking about how subtitles show that the white characters use the n word with a hard r without fail, and the black characters with the a, except for one time. After Stack has been turned and Slim tells him off, the hard r comes in Stack's rebuttal. This may be a reach, but it feels to me like even though its meant to be Stack speaking he is now closer in status to Remmick, and thus "gains" the hard r because he's no longer Just a black man.

Thinking about how Smoke in any situation where he comforts another says a form of "I'm here." He says it to the baby. He says it to Stack when hes dying. He says it to Sammie as theyre watching Remmick try to recover from getting staked.

Thinking about how when Bo comes back to take Grace, Remmick isnt even trying. Bo says he has the car warmed up, but we hear the clink of the keys in his hand.

Thinking about how Remmick knows immediately that Annie and Smoke are the biggest problems with getting Sammie and so he focuses on them. Trying to get Stack to willingly get turned. Trying to bite Annie as quickly as possible.

Thinking about how Remmick fucks with Cornbread before killing him as revenge for not letting him in.

Thinking about how Cornbread after he becomes a thrall can't keep his story straight. He just pulls whatever out of his ass and hopes for the best and when it doesnt work he tries to force a bite on Smoke in particular.

Thinking about how Stack tries to convince Smoke of the freedom of being a vampire and everyone pulls Smoke back, but in that moment, I think Smoke himself isnt sold. I think his natural inclination was to be with his brother, not against him, but also to protect. So when he moves forward, he doesnt know if he will allow himself to be bit or if he'll try to kill them, he just knows his feet are moving.

Thinking about how Slim thinks about Rice every day, playing at a train station to honor him and not leave him behind.

Thinking about how Slim drinks his money, both to self soothe, but to make sure no one accuses him of being too rich.

Thinking about Slim telling Sammie that white people like blues but not black people, and how that line was improv from Delroy Lindo. As was the humming after he tells Stack and Sammie of Rice's death.

Thinking about the scene where they eat the garlic. How Slim fakes them out and the moment something is awry Smoke stands at the ready and Annie jets behind him, and it doesnt affect Smoke one bit. How they both knew what the other would do.

Thinking about if Sammie thought "Stack said I could drive on the way back....but I didn't want it like this." As he rode back home.

Thinking about Stack saying Annie got between him and Smoke. I think it was their baby dying. I think Smoke was so overcome with grief he pulled away from even Stack.

Just thinkin...

notice how the three voices of reason/wisdom all wear blue...

delta slim is the one who teaches sammie about music - about the blues. about how to be a performer, about the cultural importance of music; music as community, music as healing, music as something older and more spiritual and more personal than religion.

annie is the one who teaches sammie about hoodoo and folklore and the kind of things that exist outside of what his father preaches. there is danger out there but it's danger that the people before you have survived, that the people before you have devised protection against, and that protection comes from connection to your community.

smoke is the one who teaches sammie about grief and loss and sacrifice and violence - what do you do in the face of pain? what are you willing to do to get what you want? what are you willing to do to protect the ones you care about, and how are you going to keep going when you can't? when all that's left is you?

and when we see sammie again, he's wearing blue, too. because he's lived a life - a long, and full life - according to the wisdom they taught him.

A fantasy story starting with the protagonist minding her own business gathering firewood, when a demon appears out of nowhere announcing that she belongs to him now. The protagonist demands to know on what grounds, she's never signed no damn contract. The demon is kind of baffled by this, and awkwardly explains that just now her father had promised his firstborn for something, and she is his firstborn.

The protagonist digs her heels in and says no, she never knew her biological father and by the way the demon explained the situation, evidently her father also doesn't know that he already has a daughter, so therefore the man who had made no contribution to her life after he bred and fled has no claim to her as something he could barter.

Not giving a shit about the fact she's gambling her life in doing so, the protagonist makes contact with the local woodland fae, asking them to negotiate on her side. The fae think that this is fucking hilarious and go with her. So, having lawyered up and with a reluctant demon in tow, the protagonist heads off on a quest to find her father and do whatever it takes to wrangle everyone involved into unmaking the contract.
