okay i'm genuinely confused by this. chicago fire and grey's anatomy and bones and criminal minds and chicago med all have episodes of the same length (approx 40-45 mins). so can someone please explain to me how chicago med fails constantly to give us more than ten minutes of the characters' personal lives each episode. how is that possible

[feelboss]

well now what

See, what I don’t get is if he was being calculated and manipulative with his likes, wouldn’t that mean he should also be doing that with Simone’s account since it would generate more engagement anyways? Like why would his engagement on Phoebe’s and Charithra’s stuff be what he would use for PR, and not Simone’s stuff. You’re telling me he specifically goes hmm let me interact with Phoebe and Charithra and NOT Simone because that’s the strategy I want to take.

Also how is joking about Simone love bombing Jonny bringing Simone into the conversation when the conversation literally started because they were saying Jonny was love bombing other people as an example of him not interacting with Simone. She was literally part of the conversation from the start.

Make it make sense 😩

it really does not make sense nonnie (stealing that word from mimi - thanks bb)

really pathetic to first say ‘i dont know the whole truth’ but in the same breath spread these harmful lies and equating likes/comments to actual abusive behaviour - like do they still not see their homophobia?? (ik they dont)

lmao yeah you saw my twitter didnt you. all this shit was started in simone’s name for no reason and anything oomf said after that was to point out the hypocrisy of that lot - obviously #that yt person hid behind their usual ‘im defending a woc’ card when no one was actually insulting her and only exposing what their own friends have been saying - but so did the other person on my twt and they always do this

[doctapuella]

why is it that i can focus so hard on watching every single mjf title defense and taking notes, yet i cant just sit and write the one paragraph intro i need to do for a real life project

I wonder if the blue maga crowd actually do any door to door knocking or phone banking or donate any of their own money to their stupid pos liberal jackass du jour or if the entirety of their election 'activism' just involves getting into spats with commies on the internet.

Fuck the US education system.

Honestly at this point I'd really like to know the fucking salary at the O.I.A.R.

Because while in Archives, it is stated at some point that there was a pay upgrade to work in the Archives, which incitated people to take the position to later be stuck unable to quit, on the Protocol side we have the O.I.A.R, which is civil service.

It doesn't pay well. Even though the Institute in TMA is technically a non-profit organisation, I'm still pretty sure any position there pays better than a civil service job. So why did Alice stay ?

She isn't stupid, and maybe has a degree -- and even if she didn't, there are still jobs that doesn't need a degree out there. And she knows that working there is dangerous, which is why she turns a blind eye and pretend not to care.

But here's the thing : many of her lines suggest that at some point she did care. She probably was exactly like Jon, looking for answers and trying to know what was behind those cases, why were there recurring names, places, everything !

But she stopped, she decided to shut it down and turn a blind eye. My question is : why ? Why not quit ? She knows it's dangerous, she knows there are things that could get her killed, so why stay when the safest option is to quit and leave it behind ? And why tell Sam to come work there ? I mean, I get that he needed help, but if I knew my job was dangerous and that my friend was overly curious, I wouldn't recommend them to come here.

So I'm really asking how my the government pays her to stay.

love that great's possibly fake visions of what could have been included some #ad sunscreen. he might be dying but he will make sure boc gets that bag.

[jewishregulus]

This is something I want to know but do you believe that regulus has always been beautiful? do you see him as being the ugly duckling who turned out to be smart and beautiful at the end against all peoples odds or has always been confident in his own skin, taking his beauty to advantage? Or was he simply just unaware until he got attention growing up

this is really cracking me up sorry “IS REGULUS UGLY” flashbacks …. if you know you know

but to me no, regulus is not ugly i think he’s a beautiful person considering the rest of his family and genetics are all gorgeous people 😭 harry just wasn’t into the beautiful feminine twink vibe he has . he likes sirius’ edge not regulus’ face full of agony and trauma i suppose .

i do not think regulus would particularly view himself as beautiful tho, i think he’s have many issues w his features and his image and just the way he is perceived . i think he understands he isn’t ugly and is desirable to people but he doesn’t understand why people like him. i think he would become more confident in himself as he heals from his trauma bc it would just bring him peace abt himself as a person .

i think regulus has big sad blue eyes and pouty lips and eye bags and is pale as hell with moles and long princess curled black hair …… just inherently very pretty but in a devastating way . if you look at him too long it has the same effect as looking at a sad baby kitten

Oh fuck I'm absolutely not ready for how painful it's gonna be if simon goes cold again on our omega 😭😭 pleaseeeee she's trying her best she's just scared and doesn't fully trust anyone eitherrrr. She's also been forced simonnn just be chill for once oh god!!! I kinda understand a LITTLE but I hope IF that anons guess / theory comes true that he makes it up to her again because she literally has never felt safe once in her life :') even with them the safety wasn't 100% and then the camera thing happened... oh god I'm scared 😱

We've got a while until we get there still. That's the only consolation I can give you. Otherwise...

You'll just have to wait and see 🤭

[goldenshrikecomic]

Hello! GS is one of my favorite comics right now and a huge inspiration in my own journey of working on a comic. One of the things I find the most impressive is your paneling. Visually each of them are laid out in a way that gives this great flow, it feels really natural to imagine the pages in motion.

Would it be okay to ask what your thought process is on panelling, or just general advice/thoughts on setting up/laying out pages? I hope this makes sense

When I think about page layout, my number one question is what kind of panel I want the page to end with. It shouldn't cut the conversation or motion awkwardly, and ideally it should be something that acts like a hook that makes you want to click to the next page, like here:

It's all about getting from part A to part B. Part A, you're here. Where's the part B? The cutting point, the point where the page ends, where the chapter ends, and ultimately where the story ends.

What kind of story you want to make?

What kind of plot points you want to cover in your chapter?

How much content there is in this one page, does it forward the plot, relationships, or just show a side of someone you want seen?

You can go even smaller. Is this panel important? Does it need a full background? Could these three small panels of characters talking be one big panel? It'll save you time and look nicer.

You'll get it with practice! The old first pages of my comic wasted a lot of space, sometimes they still do. Don't stuff it full but don't get too loose! Don't be afraid of small panels, reserve big ones for big moments, like mother saying goodbye to her kid, or a yellow deer meeting a god. I see many starting comicers use very few panels per page, but this is a LOT of unnecessary work that builds up versus you including more panels per page. It's all about the bubbles. Bubbles lead everything. It's the silent pages that are the hardest.

Again, this is just how I do it. I bet there's tons of different approaches that work for the right people. Hope you find what works the best for you, best of luck with your project!

has anybody else thought about how jk could easily manage sofia's parts of slow dance or is it just me?

[wisteriasymphony]

sooo… Emilie Agreste is a boy mom, right?

absolutely. insufferably so. the only benefit of having a girl would've been that her child would be a mini version of her, but otherwise raising girls is "too much drama" for her and adrien was a very "easy" kid.

plus, i think this sort of "devouring mother" archetype fits very well with Gabriel's parenting techniques. Emilie would (in a sense) "love too much" while Gabriel "loves too little", and yet neither of them really address Adrien's needs. Adrien is a pawn to them, a little doll they can use to play house, and both their displays of affection towards their son are exclusive to what benefits them. Emilie smothers her son to boost her own self-image as a "loving mother", whereas Gabriel's small crumbs of affection are just to maintain the relationship so Adrien will agree to continue being exploited as a model.

But yeah, I think Emilie is perfect for that creepy, no-boundaries, "a mother is her son's first love" territory. ex:

Adrien: Hey dude... when's the last time your mom slept in the same bed as you?

Nino: Idk, when I was like five, I think. Probably happened once or twice, dude. ....You?

Adrien: ..........last night :/ She keeps sneaking into my room really late, I guess. Even though I keep telling her not to :/

(yes i know emilie died before these two met like. shut up. shhhhhhh. this is to provide an example)

I'm so looking forward to iroh and zuko properly talking and seeing irohs reaction to zuko being gay.

Like we all know he doesn't agree with the fire nation rn but how will he react?

Will he not support him cause sokkas a guy? Will he not support him because it's SOKKA? Will he accept him? Will he reveal he's known for years zuko was gay?

Especially with everything that happened with zhao, regarding to what jee said to bato on their date. (Which is a very understandable perspective, zuko just got out of this very sexually traumatising situation and almost immediately starts a relationship (his first relationship) with sokka, but then again it is a very unique situation)

One thing I love about some atla fics is how they portray the FNs thoughts on queerness, cause on one hand they were one of the only country's (I think) that treated men and women the same but then again it's also the fucking fire nation.

And I also think zukos whole canon arc can be very comparative to queerness,

His dads an asshole and after speaking out against him he throws him out, and zuko try's for 3 years to regain his father's love and acceptance, and then faced with the opportunity of regaining it takes it immediately regardless of who or what he may hurt (iroh, his own morals etc) but once he makes it back home realises how fucked up everything is and eventually confronts his dad and openly tells him he doesn't agree with him then runs aways.

I also wonder if iroh secretly knows jee is queer it doesn't seem that likely to me but it also is iroh so who knows.

<3

I do think Iroh’s reaction will be a big moment for not only the story but for Zuko’s character development. Right now, Zuko’s technically still a prisoner, holding himself there by assuming Iroh will not understand or judge him when in reality he’ll never know what his uncle is thinking until they TALK ABOUT IT. (Which the FN royal family is just sooo good at healthy communication I don’t understand why this is so hard for them lol?!)

I do agree that the suddenness of the relationship combined with the intensity from both zuko and Sokka is very alarming for people looking at it from the outside (I mean we all totally get it cause we were there but others are like uhhhh hmmmm ok this might be concerning) so I get them gossiping and wondering if this is truly real or what the fucks going on with those boys.

I love Zukos canon arc because there’s just so much about zukos story that can be relatable no matter who you are and I think that’s why he is a fan favorite (it doesn’t explain why we torture him the way we do but ehhhh it’s fine haha)

Hmmmmmm does iroh know Jees gay? Depends on how saucy those music nights got ;)
