#and the narrator won

[leotanaka]

the thing about the riverdale ending is that if you stop watching at episode 19 then angel tabitha won, she beat the narrative and all of the characters are free to live their lives but if you continue to watch until episode 20, then narrator jughead won and everyone is doomed to be trapped inside the narrative forever.

I like imagining a scenario in which Jason, Tim and Damian are arguing about Dick and just keep trying to one-up one another:

Damian: I was his Robin and he clearly likes me best.

Tim: I mean, technically I was his Robin first. And that last statement is debatable (and wrong).

Damian: Tt. You were father's Robin, I was Grayson's only before the original Batman returned.

Jason: Oh, for fucks sake, why does that even matter? He accepted me as Robin first and gave me his old costume, try topping that.

Tim: Been there, done that.

Jason: Not first you haven't.

Tim: Irrelevant. I think being accepted as Robin and being his Robin first puts me above you both.

Damian: Richard made me Robin on his own accord, father's intervention was unrequired.

Tim: Do you think that maybe that was because, I don't know, Bruce was 'dead' at the time?

Damian: I don't see how that refutes my argument, Drake.

Tim: He didn't even want you as Robin, he did it so you didn't go running off to the league.

Jason: Face it, brat, Dick didn't have much of a choice on the matter. With me, on the other hand-

Tim: I can give you a list of reasons why what you're about to say is wrong.

Jason: Stop trying to be a smartass, you-

Damian: This discussion is getting sidetracked. I can win this argument with the simple fact that Richard planned to adopt me.

Jason: Get in line kid, he tried with me first.

Tim: Wait- what? Damian makes sense because Bruce... but you? Full offense, by the way.

Jason: I was a redhead and a circus kid, he had all the reasons to adopt me.

Damian: Todd, you're a brunette, you're spitting nonsense.

Tim: And you most definitely did not grow up in a circus. I've heard your backstory from Dick himself.

Jason: You had to be there.

I wish the Mythbusters were real cause then I could ask them to test if Serena Williams can deflect an RPG with a tennis racket if she swings hard enough.

I’m gonna blame your foster care AU for the way these lyrics are screaming Boggie at me so..👀 here you go!

“he’s gonna notice me (we’re the best of friends)”

he’s gonna notice me (we’re the best of friends)

"So the dates, the flowers, the chocolate, the hugs, the late nights driving around and talking until dawn, the sleeping in the same bed, the teddy bear, and the freaking song I wrote you weren't clear enough?"

There was a pause, where Reggie cocked his head like a confused puppy. "That's just what friends do, right?"

In which Bobby tries to romance Reggie, Reggie is just stoked at more time with his best bro, and everyone else is Staying Out Of It.

i saw a video earlier of someone saying happy endings feel wrong to them and respectfully i don't know what the fuck they're on about. happy endings are the most powerful thing fiction can do as far as i'm concerned. so often the real world ends up going in miserable directions so being reminded that yes, good things can happen too is way more powerful for me

weird question what does town wins mean

not a weird question! i'm a person prone to using EXTREMELY specific made-up injokes to discuss broader concepts, and sometimes i forget that other people don't know what my invented terminology even means. my bad

anyway "town won" is a reference to this post discussing the riverdale finale (in which heaven is a 1950's diner and its characters remain teenagers forever.) my friend, who is fascinated by riverdale, liked this post so much he started referencing it casually in conversation. eventually among my group of friends "town won" became shorthand for "a story that is so caught up in its image of a correct, idealized, usually nostalgic world state that it ignores a more thematically appropriate alternative where its characters would escape those conditions. the end result leaves the story feeling unintentionally miserable."

put more simply - the town of riverdale "won" against its characters because the writers idealized the idea of a small unchanging town. princess tutu's fairy tale "wins" against its characters because the logic of the fairy tales confining them was considered correct by its writers. (ahiru's True Self is a duck, rue's self-worth as a princess can only ever be defined by mytho, mytho's true desire is to go back into the story.) there's other examples, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

hope this was a decent explainer! unfortunately, the nature of this sort of in-joke referential terminology means that it's difficult to lay out exactly. I will try to avoid using it too much lol

Doodle dump just so my Tumblr doesn’t gather dust in a corner

One of the entrants has decided to push their prize on someone else, so I've decided the only fair way to decide this is w/ a mini contest

I've thought of a number between 140-160. Whoever gets the closest by the end of tomorrow gets the prize
