Sarah Golding is doing an amazing job as Mrs. Westenra in Re: Dracula (as always), but because I recently finished binging Oz 9 I only hear Mrs Sheffield doing some time travel shenanigans

[mournersandfunerals]

I've been rereading ACOTAR right, and I know there's so many issues with it (I still love it tho lol), but my main gripe with it at the moment is the potential foreshadowing of Rhys becoming the High King of Prythian.

I know it was brought up by Amren, and credit to Rhys, the topic was shut down pretty quickly. But it still makes me a little nervous because SJM likes her foreshadowing. So why would it have even been brought up if it wasn't a possibility? I don't like it.

Rhysand taking over and ruling over all the territories of Prythian would be such a slap in the face to the other High Lords. Take Eris, for example.

Eris has been working for centuries to try and get his father off the throne. It's been a long process, and there's been a lot of suffering in the Autumn Court. After going through all of that, he deserves a chance to be the High Lord that Beron wasn't and rebuild Autumn into a better place. To change how Prythian has been running, it'll quite literally erase all of that. It would all be for nothing. Not to mention that the Night Court has a deal with Eris. They're supposed to be helping him. It's like... "Oh, you wanna be High Lord? That's nice. We'll help you. JUST KIDDING, you bow to us now."

And then we have Helion, who is Rhys's closest friend and ally. Would he really be happy with no longer having full control over his own territory? The Day Court does so much for the Night Court. It'll be like taking advantage of a centuries long friendship and then throwing that friendship into the fire.

Kallias and Vivian? They certainly don't deserve that kind of treatment either. And for the love of God, give Spring an opportunity to rebuild after you completely destroyed it.

I mean, really, what makes Rhysand and Feyre qualified to be the High King and Queen over literally anybody else? Aside from Velaris, the Night Court is barely functioning. And Amren thinks they can run the entire world? Absolutely not. They've got their own problems to deal with. All of the courts have.

And if Rhys does become the High King, then is he really any better than Amarantha...? That was such a shit time for the entire world. For 50 years, they lived under her reign. They managed to break free and were immediately thrown into a war afterwards. It was hell. Nobody had fun with that. Least of all, Rhys. Everyone suffered for five decades under one ruling, so why make your main character put everyone through that again?

Now, I'm not saying that Rhysand would rule in the same way Amarantha did because she literally had the High Lords imprisoned. I think he would give them at least some power over their own lands. But at the same time, please don't contradict everything you've written.

details, because I'm kind of happy with how I did these bits:

[goddessofwisdom18]

the way the acotar fandom descended into infighting is actually kind of sad. i used to be an anti in the acomaf/acowar era and we always purposely mispelled characters' names when we were ranting about them so fans wouldn't see them. now i can't go look up any character without seeing people hating them (or praising them but hating another character). every post is an argument with some vague enemy (i am guilty of this too for the record). like wtf happened

[pizzasteveofficial]

I wanna go on record saying I very much dislike Nickacado. He is loud, annoying, very stupid, and the video of him eating Chicken McNuggets from McDonalds and wasting all of it for his stupid gross tempertantrum tirades or whatever the fuck kinda toxic bullshit him and Orlin do made me so viscerally upset and angry while I was high, I don’t think I can forgive him he crossed a line so personal to me that he ain’t comin back

[planetsandthefates]

it says a lot about how incredible all too well (10 minute version) is that after years of not being able to pick a favorite taylor swift song, it has become my favorite taylor swift song of all time. it has a whole music video. it has won awards. i am fucking EMOTIONAL. i will never shut up about it.

[readingwriter92]

I really should’ve learned by now that I can’t listen to the part of my brain that goes. “Nah you don’t need to put a bandaid over that. You won’t pick at that”

Because I stg if I have to ever wash dishes without getting the bandaid on my thumb wet again I’m going to scream

[jjclopelover]

How he talks to/about her v.s. How he talks to/about him

I'm back with more analysis' about JJPope and why it's better than anything either of them had with Kie.

Today I'm talking about JJ and how he speaks of and to them and why the difference in how he does it speaks VOLUMES.

JJ talking about Kie (S1): "Of course, I'm hitting on her. She's a super-hot, rich, hippie chick, slumming with us. Why? I can't figure it out either, but who cares, bro? I know that door's locked because I tried it. Have you?"

JJ talking about Pope(S2): "Ain't all that bad. Just look at the guy over there. He would do anything for us. That's a Pouge if I've ever seen one. Bone-deep. That's just one man's opinion, though."

THE DIFFERENCE.

JJ talking to/about Pope:

"For once in your life, trust someone else."

~~~

"You're the golden boy."

~~~

Topper: "Hey, I just wanna make sure everyone here is okay with ending up in federal prison."

JJ: "Uh, if it gets to that, yeah, I'll do it for Pope."

~~~

"I'm here for you, Pope. Welcome to my world, okay?"

~~~

JJ talking to/about Kie:

"And you--I mean, you're already rich as fuck anyway. Why would you bother?"

~~~

"Okay. Not all of us can afford unlimited data plans, Kiara."

~~~

"Hell of a job melting it down, Dr.Frankenstein."

~~~

(I don't need to put anymore as all of JJ's quotes for Kie are from the first half of S1 lol.)

As you can see, JJ speaks highly of Pope and lowly of Kie. He sees being a pouge as a badge of honor and gave Pope the highest honor. He sees Pope as someone he can relate too and shares a deep connection too.

He doesn't see that with Kie.

And I hear Jiara stans saying "What about S3? He was so worried about her and went back to get her!"

And to that, I say, "Yeah...cuz it's JJ."

His number one trait as a character is his loyalty. It's his best trait as it shows how much he will do for his friends. But also his worst trait as he puts his friends over his own being and in the end it only hurts him.

JJ would have reacted the same if it was anyone else in that situation.

Like when John B was a wanted criminal, JJ did anything for him. (risking to get arrested himself, shooting cops, and being by his side when he was on the run)

Or when Sarah is dealing with Ward or Rafe, JJ is always watching over her. (running after a car that held a drugged Sarah unconscious in the back, jumping in a shipping crate to get her and the cross back, staying by her side, and keeping an eye on her when John B was found guilty in court.)

And even Cleo who just joined the crew, JJ makes sure to treat her like the rest of the pouges. (like when he praised her for convincing Pope's parents to let him go to South America)

And we all know that he would do the same if not more for Pope. (going to jail for him, almost getting arrested for him again, taking over an entire boat of men to get his cross plus Sarah, risking being seen with him at Midsummers when he was supposed to be undercover, taking a beating from his dad for him, fighting for him at the outdoor movie, being super protective about him anytime he was around Limbrey and Renfield, keeping the secret that Pope was the one who actually sunk the boat and lying to the others, bringing Pope to his cousin Ricky's house to save his life even tho Ricky was still pissed at him for stealing his ambulance.)

And many, MANY, more.

The way we are introduced to JJ who loves and protects Pope but pushes Kie aside

versus

The way they "built up" S3 JJ for a toxic relationship with Kie but as a result of that he has to push Pope aside.

The writers and creators gave us s1 JJ, that's how his character was made and supposed to be portrayed. S3 JJ was built off toxic fans who threatened their way into an unfortunate canon ship.

Toxic stans = Toxic ship.

You Jiara stans wonder why JJ felt out of character, or why the Jiara chemistry felt forced or fake. That's because it was.

You can't force chemistry.

All the OBX cast did chemistry reads to see which duos worked together as a couple and which didn't. But the one duo that did not do a chemistry read was JJ and Kie (Rudy and Madi)

why?

because the creators saw no need. as they weren't even thinking of getting those two characters together. JJ was supposed to end up with Cleo. That was one of the many reasons Cleo came back as a main character.

What they would do with Kie and Pope, I don't know and I don't care. But Any ending would have been better than canon Jiara.

Anywaysssss

JJ treats Pope like he's his partner

and

JJ treats Kie like she's his sister

But let's be honest...we all see that, don't we?

Editor's note: Sry this took so long lol, life's been busy :)

TMNT: 40TH ANNIVERSARY COMICS CELEBRATION

July 2024

By Kevin Eastman, Edgar Alan Poe, Jim Lawson, Tristan Jones, Gary Carlson, Chris Allan, Erik Burnham, Lloyd Goldfine, Ciro Nieli, Andy Suriano, Tom Waltz, Ronda Pattison , Tom Napolitano, Steve Lavigne, Paul Harmon, Frank Fosco, Adam Guzowski, Sarah Myer, Luis Antonio Delgado, Shawn Lee, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, Michael Dialynas, Pablo Tunica, Freddie E. Williams II, David Petersen, Ken Mitchroney, Aaron Hazouri, Dan Duncan, Sophie Campbell, Jodi Nishijima, Stan Sakai, and Emi Fujii.

Come and enjoy stories that will remind you of the 40 years of turtle history.

SCORE: 10 *

* Assuming you are familiar with these iterations.

This is a strange read, and curiously, there are three or four highlights for me, and they are not exactly the ones you would imagine.

Spoilers after the break...

The first story by Kevin Eastman is in the Mirage section of the book but... well... I'll leave at that... I wouldn't call it the Mirage we knew.

There is a story by Lawson and Lavigne with the Rat King that... it's fun. But, you know... I wouldn't even try to fit it in canon... the amount of continuity physics you need to bend to place this story is not worth the time. Just enjoy as a new story by these two iconic Mirage artists.

This other story by Tristan H. Jones and Paul Harmon requires more analysis. I'll revisit it on my gang wars video and try to give it more context... but unfortunately... it's just too vague. All I can say for sure is that it happens in the future of that incomplete saga, but the narrator just takes too many artistic choices to be taken at face value.

Also... I believe this is the first official (frontal) appearance of Agent Bishop (unless I got the character wrong, but Jones already tried to introduce him in this saga). I think he is still holding on to it, and I really hope he gets to tell his story. I wouldn't mind a mini-series... just saying!

The Volume 3 story was... not for me. The dialogue alone felt tired.

The Archie adventure was short, eventful, and funny... and it looks amazing too!

In just four pages a new character was introduced and... a new love story was implied! And it's not just a gratuitous cameo... this is a funny sequence.

The Saturday Morning Adventures (the de facto 87 story) looks amazing as usual, but I didn't find the story that interesting. However, it started a theme that would run across most of the stories in this special after this one: Master Splinter.

The 2003 story is a... loose canon?

Hun is Slash, and Shredder is back... so make of that what you want. All I'm going to say is that this felt a lot like watching the beginning of a 2003 episode, with the narration setting the tone.

The 2012 story was one of the least interesting in the previews, but I have to say... it was probably one of the best. It brought back a villain and it technically serves as an excuse to continue the series?

But to me the best thing about the story is the art. I am surprised Ciro Nieli didn't do more comic book work for the Turtles all these years. In fact, if they somehow decided to continue the 2012 universe in 2D in this style... I'm all in. Well, who am I kidding... I would be in anyway... but this looks amazing.

Andy Suriano did probably the most interesting story in the book. Now, I am not sure if his style doesn't translate well to static panels or what the problem is with the comic format... but it doesn't matter... this small story brought in a lot of things that ended on the editing floor after the show's second season was reduced to a few more episodes. There was a rumor about a female turtle, and not only it is here in all its glory, but there is also a brother?

And come on... it's so Lou Jitsu to die with a cliffhanger.

There are two IDW stories. One is another Splinter story, but the other one is perhaps one of the best in this book.

The Ronda Pattison story takes place just before the Armageddon game, and it shows the five turtles in full sibling dynamic (even Jennika). It was refreshing to see these turtles having fun for a change.

There are no stories by the new team, but... well... that's just starting.

THE LAST OF US X GRAVITY FALLS AU

First, I saw the whole hospital clip of the HBO show. Then I watched the entire walkthrough of the game. Then I watched it multiple times. Safe to say I became obsessed with this game as well as with Joel and Ellie's father-daughter bond. So of course I had to make a Gravity Falls au. I'm currently planning to draw all characters for this au but kinda stuck with classes rn so that may take a while.

Anyway here are the list of gf characters that would act as tlou people:

Wendy Corduroy as Marlene (it was originally supposed to be pacifica's mom Priscilla but she didn't fit the role so ye)

Sheriff Daryl Blubs as Bill (oop)

Deputy Edwin Durland as Frank( yes I will make these gay officers tragic in this au)

Fiddleford Mcgucket as Henry Burrell (sorry fidds)

Tate Mcgucket as Sam Burrell (poor kid sorry you become a zombie)

Soos Ramirez as Sarah Miller (yep its cruel but hey Stan needs his tragic backstory)

Dipper Pines as Riley Abel (More sibling relationship with Mabel rather than romantic because pin*cest will never happen in this blog no never)

Cathy Crenshaw as Maria Miller(Tommy's wife)

Bill Cipher as David and Kryptos as James

[kayla-2]

Can you even list 10 things that makes you hype Elain so much?

I’m actually a feyre fan account so I don’t hype elain a lot but I don’t mind..I’ll try to be quick

1.) I need more soft characters. I need fantasy women who doesn’t want to grab a sword and can find strength outside of physical abilities. Acosf is like the 2nd book of training, we’ve seen enough..

2.) Her seer powers. I think it’s very cool and fitting for her and the conflicts that the world is still dealing with and can work amazingly with Azriel spying and the inner circle leadership and planning

3.) Sarah was talking about doing research into female spies from world war 2 and I would love to see elain and her friends Nuala and Cerridwen going out, and undercover. It can be witty and hilarious

4.) I love characters who proves people wrong. Especially with some of the misogynistic takes we’ve seen on her hobbies and ability to have children

5.) I’m a feyre stan before anything so any moments someone can give me with my feyre is important especially since I need to see them explore the continents together like they wanted to.

6.) I want to know her experiences with the cauldron. Going from changing your entire species to losing your love is insane. I need to know her healing

7.) Her gardening and all the metaphors. Like feyre/ painting and nesta/dancing.. Rhys said that gardening requires getting your hands dirty and elain has thorns and bruises.. I want to know why Sarah said that.

8.) For some reason I think elain is going to tackle a mental villain unlike her sisters. Something connected to her powers. A battle within herself.

9.) She killed HYBERN, used her seer powers with no training, and helps restore velaris. I love characters that are determined despite what happened to them

10.)  i’m ready to see all the relationships she developed.. She notices little things (feyre hesitance with money in acofas, Azriel headaches, Feyre pregnancy) if you know anything about introverts, they are good listeners and watchers which can makes them good friends and partners.

You don’t have to like elain at all. I can’t convince you and I don’t want to, but that doesn’t mean others aren’t excited and don’t have reasons. We like female characters outside of their ships over here🤣 anyway, that was fun

[stargirlie25]

Just saw this.....

Before i say anything let me say i truly want everybody to pay attention to this post and the information inside especially if you agree with the post above.

How little do you know about Elain Archeron?

Let me tell you she has done these things but this person stretched out everything making Elain seem as a person she is not. You seriously think Elain would like anybody who talks about her like this? You think she would be flattered? These are all the people who claim they are Elain stans and change her character left and right.

What's true about what this person said is that she drinks whisky,stabbed the king of hybern,gives airplane gifts,found the suriel, and said ´´I hope they all burn in hell´´. Everything else is false and so disrespectful to her character.

Firstly Elain is seen to be a kind soul who owns up to her mistakes and is thankful for anybody ´s kindness and will remember it forever. That being said, Rhysand was seen once flying Elain to and from The house of wind so she can see her sister. She loves her sister and wants to see her and Rhys is taking her. Do you think she would like that her ´´stans´´ are saying he is her ´´little flying lackey´´ No. She would find you an unpleasant person who lacks respect.

´´Made a 500 year old obsession without even trying´´ You are right. Elain did nothing to have that. It is just because her sisters got with Azriels brothers and the dear shadowsinger formed an idea that Elain is rightfully supposed to be his because you know what, her sisters are with his brothers and that is enough logic. If its an obsession of any sorts, it is an unhealthy one.

Just some reasons:

He feels unworthy to taint her with his presence and hides a part of him (shadows) and hates another (hands) in regards to Elain.

For two years straight all he did was Pump himself and he said himself that he certainly had not gone far with his planning other than his fantasies.

He loved Mor for centuries and after the almost kiss with Elain, he refuses to disclose his feelings for mor. Even in ACOSF it represents he still feels for her.

He says its best to Kill greyson (Elain´s ex lover) even though Elain forbid feyre and others from doing anything to him.

He gets angry at the thought of Elain doing at least something and underestimates her -which is the only canon proof of what he could be thinking so don´t even try. Elain even calls out Nesta who had the same reaction and same reasoning. We have both Nesta and Feyre calling out how they do not like territorial traits from a man.

❗❗❗❗HOSAB SPOILERS❗❗❗❗

He gives credit to Nesta for beheading the king ´´Herself´´ which is a direct parallel to Lucien crediting Elain for her bravery. Before you guys yap about how its factually correct on what he said, do you realise how easy it could have been for sarah to say something like

Azriel said,´´Her sister stabbed the king of hybern,´´ A look towards truthteller and back at bryce and she could have sworn pride swarmed his eyes ´´Nesta beheaded the king of hybern herself´´

Dont bully me i have no idea how to write books but SJM could have put something even more tone down and it would still be an nice Elnotreal moment. Instead she made a direct parallel with what Lucien once said in ACOWAR.

∴ His ´´obsession´´ is super unhealthy.

Anyways whats next?

´´Had the shadowsinger running around´´ I mean go ahead make Elain seem like fricking b**tch. She is so sweet and kind and for some reason you want to take that away to make her seem strong? You have to put down multiple characters to uplift Elain? YOU have to. Not Elain. I can see from people who agree with the statement above (the picture) are simply blind to what Elain offers. There is a strength in her kindness,generosity, manner and feminism. When i see how kind Elain is, i see her strength. I see HER power. She respects all those around her and if i stan her why would i change that narrative?

That being said, Elain would continue to thank everybody who shows her kindness and if you think not than do not even bother saying you are pro Elain.

Same thing with saying she forbid everyone from eating. Elnotreals are seriously taking the forbidden love idea too far. All jokes aside she literally canonically said that they should not wait for her and go ahead and eat. Even if she did say that, no offense to my girl but they would all laugh their a$$ off and continue to eat.

Although Elain distances herself from Lucien, based on her character she would be offended if someone said she does not gaf.

Even this creator would. Imagine i made a anti Elain post saying something along the lines of

´´I hate Elain because she practically does not gaf about the mating bond with lucien and she sucks because of it´´

In this circumstance, you guys would pounce right away and start listing off the reason on why it isn´t the fact she does not gaf its because of _______ etc.

Although you are using it to make her seems as though she is a Girlboss for it? I´m not blaming her because i literally 100% believe it is not the fact she does not care, it's deeper.

´´uglified herself´´ There you go again, disrespecting Elains family, friends. First of all, no one needed Elain to be there, they needed Nesta. They did not choose Elain. They chose Nesta because of her dancing so she could seduce Eris. It was Elains choice to come although no one needed her. Mor always prefers to wear red and she did wear it the court of nightmares. Elain chose to wear black to match as the High Ladys sister in order to match. She herself looks prefers lilaks,blues,pinks but probably told herself she needed to be someone else to fit in. Something Cass and Rhysand has noted. Why are you calling her ugly when her current state is ´´Life being sucked from her´´

You just love disrespecting my girl acting like its a praise. tsk, tsk

Why am i making this post? What if its just a joke?

Its not just that. Many people use this information to uplift Elain while they casually ignore her own choices and personality. So what if this is a joke? On the bottom it says

´´You sure she is not developed enough?´´

Meaning what she wrote is development for Elain. No its not. Its erasing her character and morphing a new one in her place. I could go on and on of other reasons as to why Elain is developed and it is none of those reasons. Most of her development would happen in her own book and from her own pov instead of other characters just like Nesta.

Anyways my hole point is that you dont have to make Elain seem like she runs the ic, or she dominates everybody, or is a mastermind.

Let me get this straight

Feyre is a highlady: STRONG

Nesta is a warrior: STRONG

Elain is a gardener: STRONG

In my opinion it could be stronger. Maybe because im just like her haha but in a world of warrior women or tongue lasher women, she remain her perfect self, Elain Archeron and she would let no man or no ´´stan´´ change that.

[fourteentrout]

I'm a tamsand stan through and through and I am still so shocked that Azris, which is built on like. 2 interactions total is more popular, but I gotta say Azris does come with this great opportunity of Azriel asking "What if the cauldron was wrong?" Not about Elain, but out of desperation that his mate can't be the male that he's been (kind of conditioned to tbh) hating for the past 500 years.

Like that fucks. His dialogue and motivations are so easily warped to like have a double meaning it's amazing. They are certainly a close second for my fav acotar ships. This fandom needs more queer pairings anyways. (And I think that even though Azris will never be canon, Sarah J is definitely gonna make Eris gay. I could be wrong but I can feel it in my bones)
