#<- can rewatch the show whenever

the reason poolverine is so appealing is also because in all of his two-decade run in the xmcu they have given logan some of the most boring and rushed relationships with women (because it was the 2000s and the mold that they followed for rugged manly protagonists meant an astounding lack of chemistry between them and their love interests in favor of giving them the "dead wife who has a montage at the beginning of the movie" treatment etc etc) and then they put him on a 2 hour long film with a guy even more insane and fucked up than him and they matched each other beat for beat. say what you want about the mcu but they achieved a level of chemistry between logan and wade that fox couldn't reach in 20 years with like four different love interests. which is also a petition for them to either go the gay route or finally let logan find a woman he has good chemistry with and who can pass the bechdel test

What I loved about Cinderella's Castle is it is so entirely about Ella. We know starkid can handle a show with tons and tons of characters but I found it quite refreshing for it to be so wholly her story? I think it was a lovely choice for this show and man Bryce did such a perfect job of it, she is truly such a star

a major problem that im having is that there is no quake spinoff. like, daisys story is insane in agents of shield, they did so much with her and everyone elses character. but she deserves to get a really character focused show of her own like agent carter and jessica jones were for those characters.

give me the daisy johnson story dammit.

Heh.

Roci: “Will you remember me even after I die ?”

Law:

- Puts his smile on his jolly roger (and consequently on every piece of clothing he’s ever worn)

- Calls his crew the Heart Pirates

- Litterally tattooed the heart on his skin. Multiple times.

- Spent 13 years of his life planning a revenge against the man who killed this man, effectively breaking the gears of the world, and putting in motion the biggest changes that ever occured in it.

Everything that happenned in the story since PH to Wano happenned because Law loved this man. (And i’m not yet counting The Rocky Port Incident, since we don’t know what happenned there exactly)

Big thank yous to these three House MD fans for inspiring me to crawl out of my depression hole and attempt to write again:

@acrownforaking for writing "Intervention," which triggered my sudden epiphany of "Isekai Fanfic: It's Not Just for Fantasy RPGs Anymore!"

@sugaredoleander for graciously volunteering her med student knowledge to House MD fanfic authors and for already answering my zillion questions about hospital intake procedures, immunology, etc. I wouldn't have been able to even get started writing without her preliminary input on my plot's foundational premises.

@oddlittlestories for diving into the scenario and giving me a bunch of great ideas about the potential unintended consequences of diverging from canon. Coming up with those is one of my biggest challenges for writing an authentic author-self-insert fic, because if IRL!me is able to think them up well enough to write them, then presumably fic!me should be able to anticipate them, right?

I know we're all just random internet strangers to each other, but your enthusiasm was literally contagious. :) This is the first time in like two months that I've felt excited about doing something creative instead of just spending all day rotting in bed watching TV, doomscrolling, and ruminating.

soulless sam is also interesting to me in the ways you can compare him to other characters on the show who become soulless. i’m looking at donatello specifically bc for the most part soullessness does not seem to have any averse effect on him which is 100% the result of bad writing but is fascinating because like. conceptually soullessness was introduced into the show to turn sam into the perfect hunter (and in doing so reveal how far from that his character normally is - for the better) but then characters who were not hunters begin to lose their souls so they had to write around that which in turn speaks to the specific circumstances of sam’s character. which is something they play with in s6 but is deepened by the later interactions with soullessness as a concept. sticking to s6 you get dean’s line about soulless sam “now i’m worried he’s just acting like me” which (and i kind of hate to say this bc it sounds like woobification altho when have i ever been afraid of that) speaks to the fact that sam is remarkably compassionate and emotionally intelligent for someone raised in the environment he was. and you can see this plainly in how dissimilar he is to other hunters on the show, but it really becomes clear in s6 with the loss of his soul like. it’s not just that soulless sam IS a better hunter it’s that for for him soullessness exists as a function to MAKE him one. he no longer needs sleep he no longer feels compassion for others. things that once barred him from doing the job effectively are no longer an issue. i feel like spn often plays with the question of nature vs nurture in a really stupid way but this is one of the more compelling uses of it to me bc he is quite literally stripped of his nature and when they leave him with just his nuture, how he was raised, we get a character so different some people actually refuse to acknowledge they are the same person.
