in honor of phineas and ferb coming back can you imagine being a disney investor in the early 2000s watching some guys' storyboard pitch and you're like "oh this seems funny and cute but also relatively normal for a children's television show" and then this happens without warning

this is exactly why i normally dont like AUs😭 if i switch the names and i cant recognize them then whats the point
I think the other reason I don't really get into ships as portrayed by fandom culture is that it seems like the mindset is more like. "I want these characters to be in a Romantic Relationship(TM)" instead of "I want these characters' relationship to be romantic"
What I mean here is that, so often I see pairings enacting romance tropes to the point of heavily altering or downright replacing their original dynamic - as if the people behind it only understand romance as a series of checklists to tick off. Couples like to kiss and sleep in the same bed and flirt with each other, so it doesn't matter who the characters are, if they're a couple then naturally they'll do those things, right??
And that's where the whole thing starts to lose me, because I would assume that the appeal of shipping characters is, y'know... the characters? Rather than just, the idea of a couple? If I'm thinking about how it'd be cool for them to be in love, my first thought is always "so how would they show it," because just like everything else about a person, the answer is going to be different on a case-by-case basis.
Maybe the characters involved aren't really into kissing, but they like arranging date activities. Maybe they aren't committed to the structure of dating at all, and just want to be around each other whenever they can. And even if they are the types to like doing traditionally romantic things, that doesn't suddenly erase whatever else they had going on before they started adding that on top of it.
I'm not saying that the more typical romance tropes and activities are bad, just that they're applied kind of excessively, regardless of whether or not they actually work for the characters involved. I want to see my favorite characters having relationships that are true to who they are, not what the stock depiction of a couple says they should be.

oh my god that’d be amazing just johnny storm crashes through a store with a cashier with a suspiciously red turtle neck, tony stark get his photos taken by a guy with a red undershirt, clint barton leaves his dog to a dog walker with bright blue extremelly tall socks, he straight up delivers food to matt murdock in full suit
doesnt really talk, no focus, if you didnt know youd think it was a regular extra
that’s amazing i love that
I was thinking about like. in a hypothetical world where I could play Spidey, how would I want that movie to go?
And it got completely derailed because now I’m thinking about showing up in cameos in other movies/shows as Parker doing whatever odd part time job, Spidey suit juuuust visible enough under the regular clothes/uniforms for the audience

The dialogue about the storm during the Truco scene, a translator's note for English Speakers
You've seen The Eternaut, you don't speak Spanish. Or worse, you do, but the specific dialect spoken in The Eternaut goes over your head.
The scene in the first episode where the four men play a card game (truco, it's a local thing, and a topic for another post. But to make it quick, think of poker) is filled with word games. There is this specific moment when they hear the storm, and two of them go off saying things that Netflix could never dream of effectively translating (and they didn't even try). So I'm going to try to unpack those, because I've seen the subtitles in English because the writing is pretty good, and unless you get the whole range of the word game, you may not get why they are cacking like madmen.
There is thunder, and then
Tumblr media
The subtitles in Spanish are: "Se largolla? o esta relampajeando?". But what Lucas means is "Se largó ya? o está relampagueando?". This translates as "Has the rain already started? or is it just thunder?"
The difference in spelling is the word game:
"Argolla" (ring, if you will) is slang for vagina.
The change between the soft /g/ sound with the strong /x/ (that's produced at the back of the throat, like a hard /h/ in English) makes it sound like "pajeando", which is slang for masturbation.
Then Sposky (el Ruso, as in Russian*) says
Tumblr media
The lines in Spanish are "va a lloverga". "Va a llover" would be "It's going to rain", but the "-ga" added makes "verga", just slang for dick.
Tumblr media
And he adds "Y vos sabes que deje el paraguasca arriba de la repija"
(sorry I need to pause here because this is seriously so stupid I can't help but join in the stupidity and laugh with them. Juan's indignation is so relatable. This is serious stupidity, the sort among friends who are so familiar with one another they are beyong trying to make an impression)
So "paraguas" is umbrella (someone pointed out how they missed the chance to say "cumbrella". I agree), and "guasca" is spunk.
"Repisa is shelf". "Pija" (like verga) is another slang word for cock.
And then he makes this face:
Tumblr media
And the broad frame goes
Tumblr media
Favalli's (el Tano, as in Italian*) face is priceless
Tumblr media
I wish I could make gifs, because I'm not sure the screencap can truly convey the way he's trying hard not to smile.
Juan, however...
Tumblr media
...is seriously so fucking done. I can feel his exasperation. This man is me. Juan Salvo my beloved.
After this, he looks at Favalli and says "you know it makes me want to cry. It's been thirty years saying the same stupid shit"
*yeah is common here to have nicknames based on place of origin. Ana is called "Gringa", which needs no translation. These are all endearments and nobody would dream of being offended or using these to offend. Anyone blonde here will be called "polaco/a", as is Polish, regardless of the actual ethnicity, family name or place of origin. Same with "turco/a" (Turkish). And you might not be ready for this, but "negro/a" is also a nickname, and also a general endearment people use to address loved ones.
Go watch The Eternaut. I mean it. It's on Netflix.

it'd be really cool if everyone put their money where their mouths are and went and saw the new fully 2d animated looney tunes movie that's in theaters RIGHT NOW instead of continuing to scream about the snow white and lilo and stitch remakes

14 years old hermione kidnapped a grown woman on a jar same year 14 years old harry potter fought a dragon, became half a fish for an hour and resusitated an evil wizard through a blood ritual.
wildest thing 14 year old ron did that year was be really jealous for like two months
The movies will make you think that Ron is the most unhinged when actually he has the most hinge in that entire friend group.
Harry was (understandably) crashing out every other chapter. Ron got protective over his friends and family sometimes, but Luna was the witch equivalent of a flat earther holding a gun to your head until you admitted lizards run the government.
And don't get me started on Hermione "Light Yagami" Granger and her normal reaction to gossip (turning them into a beetle).

“Okay, so,” Spider-Man(?) settled cross legged on the ceiling, “It’s…both? I’m genderfluid. So, y’know, sometimes a guy, sometimes a woman, but all times a spider.” He fingergunned. No one laughed. His shoulders dropped.
Everyone continued to stare in stunned silence, so after a bit, Spidey awkwardly continued. “I didn’t choose for my hero half to be the guy part, but people immediately assumed I was a guy and it was…freeing. Trying to present myself as a guy in my civilian life always felt like people weren’t actually seeing me as genderfluid, it was like they just saw me as a girl most times, and then a girl dressing like a guy other times.” His tone was dejected before it started brightening up. “But as Spider-Man, no one knew me as a girl first, so I could just be Spider-Man. And that’s how it went, I was a girl in civilian life and a guy in my hero life.”
He turned his gaze to Johnny, apologetic from what everyone could tell by his mask lenses. “It’s not that I wanted to hold everyone at arm’s length, but among a whole bunch of other reasons why, I was worried that if my identity got out, then no one would ever see me as a guy. You’d all just see me as girl playing dress up.”
Before anyone could reassure him, Johnny spoke up. “Wait, so you were born as a girl? But- but, you’re wearing spandex? How does that work?”
Susan’s facepalm could be heard throughout the room.

we talked for two months. i've thought about you for over 5 years.
online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.
and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.
there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.
i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.
