I'm starting to feel like my Tumblr algorithm just doesn't know what i like despite me kinda directly pointing at it every now and again

On the other hand, i almost wonder if Moths in particular, is a small enough fandom that you can find them if you're looking, but it almost never gets picked up by the algorithms

I've been liking, rebloging, and generally engaging with Bug related Posts, hell even found an artist that does a lot of Moth Related Art and liked a bunch of their posts, still get regular furry art of everything under the sun *exept* bugs.

welcome back to my accidental newfound journey to redraw every frame from this movie i GUESS

[chaaistained]

am i the only one that makes my drs “canon” in other drs?

like, in my kpop dr, the arrowverse shows are just my arrowverse fic (which is based off my dr), same with my marauders fic (also based off my dr — except in this case, it’s canon in the sense the marauders still die bcs . we need harry potter for his story..) anyway

like my dr-selves are also oc’s, but their stories are tweaked quite a bit bcs the fics are too traumatic to live out . and i still want to see how my fic would be received if it were canon? so i scripted that it is (in some drs)

in my better cr (which is just my normal life) this isn’t the case, the fics stay as fics, written by me

idk just curious if only i do this bcs i highly doubt that’s the case

ok actual answer is go to @pixiel they've got an add on to fix it. If you already have it installed, it just needs an update.

help, does anyone know how to fix this??

[amphibizzy]

One of my favorite things about Psych is how when they establish a character fact, they stick with it.

Have I at all heard that Gus did tap before the Episode Where He Does Tap? No! But it's brought up/he does tap in several episodes afterwards!!! (Tap-Man and the Seabirds comes to mind)

Did Juliet have a brother before Ewan "JOOOOOHN CEEEEENAAAAA" O'Hara appeared? Not really, although they DID say she had a large (at least extended) family. And they bring him up afterwards!! (Obviously the Bourne episode but also her dad mentions her "and the boys" growing up with Lloyd)

Did Shawn know what Phineas and Ferb was before it was referenced?? Who knows!! But now he's watching their marathons!!

And like!! We love that!! I can't super think of any other examples but there's something so refreshing and comforting to have details that for any other show would've been one-offs never to be brought up again instead become a more nuanced part of the character as a whole!!!

Do those actors really lack chemistry or do you just think one of them isn't "attractive'' enough.

[sseanettles]

you know what I'm forever sad never became a really really compelling arc in twelve's time (or at least not to my knowledge)?

an acknowledgement that peter capaldi already played a very notable character in the doctor who universe--in torchwood: children of earth. an acknowledgement that twelve's face already belonged to a forgettable, mediocre nobody of a tragic man, john frobisher.

an average, milquetoast man who shot his wife, his children, point blank, and then committed suicide himself, because he could and would not sacrifice his kids to the 456 to be tortured and drained alive to make the aliens' fucking recreational drug, even though he was a cog-in-the-machine part of the government that had just very comfortably decided to sacrifice "the undesirable's" children. That had decided that "well the government has to be seen in the future to have also made sacrifices. and instead of picking our own children, we have picked yours, john frobisher. a forgettable, acceptable sacrifice that none of us will feel."

and he decided no. no, you don't get my children. and I won't live with the horror of what we've done and are about to do.

Of course, with horribly personal, terrible sacrifices, torchwood wins in the end. john and his family didn't have to die. but they did. was it a cowardly move? a heroic one, given the only options he thought he had? i don't think anyone could make that judgement without being in his shoes.

now imagine...imagine if twelve was canonically acknowledged to have had this man's face. The time vortex decided john frobisher needed to be heard, to be seen once more, to teach the doctor some kind of lesson that needed to be deeply learned. give the doctor the face of a deeply imperfect, desperate, trapped father who did not know how to do the right thing.

and then fucking play with it.
