Lost: Promising Start, Disappointing Journey
Series Review: Lost “Lost” is an ambitious series that originally captivated audiences with its intriguing premise of survivors stranded on a mysterious island. The show starts strong with compelling storytelling and an ensemble cast, drawing viewers into the lives and backstories of the characters. However, as the series progresses, it becomes increasingly convoluted and difficult to follow,…

I am FERAL for when characters demonstrate trust in each other
so I have to talk about THIS MOMENT
S3 ep7 - Game, Set, and Murder
Jack walks in, holds out a file, and says "sign this." And Phryne - clever, detailed, knows the law, under any other circumstance questions why anyone tells her to do anything - she DOES. Without hesitation. Without reading a single word. It's only afterward that she asks, "What did I just agree to?"
[just let me shake this scene between my teeth AAHHHHH]
Are you KIDDING ME. Look, we're near the end. They've demonstrated over and over that they trust each other's instincts in emergency situations. But there is no imminent threat here - there's not even a palpable sense of urgency!
Jack believed it was important she sign a contract.
So she did.
#it feels like this is more intimate than sex#especially for her#she would not respond so instantly with ANYONE else#I wish I had a clearer picture or even a gif#but damn#i love them so much#jack robinson#phryne fisher#miss fisher's murder mysteries#phryne and jack#someone gimme a fic where it was a marriage license for some convoluted undercover plot reason#I've been with my partner 10 years and we are legally bound but I would still at least skim that shit

🗡️🌹The incident that awarded Bradley his scars
Jake is around 17 here and Bradley is like 21 methinks
(if it looks like i lost steam for the second page, it’s because that is exactly what happened, also i wanted to get it done tonight and ran out of time)
Original pencil sketches and transcript below!
Page 1
Young lord Sersin and his devoted protector, Ser Bradley, are on a routine hunting excursion when disaster strikes. An assassin!
The brave knight fights his best, but after a brief and tense battle, Ser Bradley drops his sword and falls to his knees, clutching his neck.
Page 2
The assassin, injured, stalks slowly towards the cowering Jake
Bradley is losing blood fast, with his last bit of strength, the knight grips the knife secured on his lower back...
...And hurls it directly through the assassin’s throat before they can hurt a single hair on Jake’s head!
Knowing his ward is safe, Ser Bradley’s blood loss catches up to him and the world goes dark...
Sketches (patreon peeps got to see these almost two weeks ago😉) (the comic wip i posted there today that takes place after this will probably be shared here soon tho)


#the narrator is intentionally cheesy!#🗡️🌹#swords n roses au#also ive been coming up with a convoluted plot for this world#its only scribbles on scrap paper rn tho#jaydraws#tgm#hangster#(well pre-hangster really)#sereshaw#fanart#art#comic#sketch#top gun#top gun maverick#alternate universe#knight#assassin#medieval au#bradley bradshaw#jake seresin#bradley rooster bradshaw#jake hangman seresin

im sorry i find it so funny how every so often you mention ananas and it's a mental debate over their inclusion in baau at this time should be done or not LMAO

idk itd be soooooooooo funny… itd be sooo funny if i include only one crob exclusive and its to give pitaya more problems
#also again i could really use another dragon for the saga aside from snapdragon… who is a baby….#not gonna lie i think im going for baau ananas being canon#im just a little shy about it#but they WILL be the only crob exclusive. also the only other crob dragon we see in baau#because adding lychee/lotus/longan as well would make things way too convoluted#esp longan#i hope this doesn’t age poorly lmfao#lowkey if i add any more crob cookies it’s because their presence makes the plot better#not (entirely) just because ykyk#idk what im saying lmao#beast ancients au ask#ananas dragon cookie

"bsd has always been about persevering through hardship and being innately deserving of life and love"
you're so right. I agree entirely. however.
those are the themes. not the plot.
#because there are two different crowds of ppl--#the 'I hate bsd and I read every chapter just to hate on it' crowd#and the 'I love the characters I love the themes. ngl the plot's kinda a mess though'#and I 100% understand answering to crowd 1 that there's substance and meaning in bsd#and it's right there. you're looking right at it.#it's about love and acceptance and finding a place to belong#However. I see such an uptick of ppl answering crowd 2 as if they're crowd 1#my dear friend. nobody's hating on bsd when being confused about the convoluted plot#and if someone says 'I don't really get the plot' and you say 'but the THEMES'#you're not addressing the thing they're saying. you're just saying a brand new statement

How i look trying to explain comic book timelines in a way that's coherent

#i just infodumped about batman to my little sibling for an hour and i did not even begin to scratch the surface#why does the lore have to be so convoluted its unreal#youd think with so many plot threads the comics would be well written but alas 😔#my rant started because i was yelling about how dc did tim drake so foul#but to articulate it you have to describe like 2000000 subplots#comics#comic#comic books#dc comics#marvel#dc#marvel comics#superhero#superheroes#batman#batman comics

is detcon actually good
no <3 hope this helps
#listen. in order to enjoy detective conan you need to either be#1. obsessed with a very specific very japanese brand of detective drama and an equally specific equally japanese brand of slowburn romance#OR 2. a clinically insane fujoshi willing to overlook half-brother incest.#i have an actual literal chart in order to keep track of the character relationships at this point#and i havent even read the manga in a while so im sure its worse now#like half of the cases are either realistically impossible to solve or so fundamentally ridiculous it makes you insane#and another 20% are completely unitelligible to an english audience#because they rely on either codes based on the japanese language or some niche aspect of japanese culture or folklore#that would take several hours of research to fully understand. i know this from experience.#at least one CANONICAL couple are cousins#and it does that shounen manga thing where the author cant lose their steady income stream#so the story is prolonged through increasingly insane and convoluted plot points that only just barely feel coherent.#despite the fact that it's been going for like 30 years now the characters will literally never change or experience growth of any kind#shinichi kudo is an in-universe genius who has been trying and failing to make the same easy decision for THIRTY REAL LIFE YEARS.#i remember when he and ran FINALLY got together. which if i remember correctly was in literally the thousandth chapter#i was completely convinced up until the end of the arc that it was some sort of fakeout#because it is literally the only example in the entire series of those two changing the narrative significantly through their actions#I actually stopped my most recent reread because a major plot twist made so little sense it made me legitimately angry#all that being said. i am the kind of person who enjoys japanese detective dramas and slowburn romance#occasionally the comedy is REALLY good in a ridiculous sort of way#and if you can get yourself to fully buy into the absolutely insane framing circumstances a lot of the major overarching plot is good#but you just. you really have to overlook A LOT to get there. im not sure if i could do it if i hadn't seen the first few seasons as a kid#unfortunately i imprinted on shinichi kudo at a very young age. so. here we are#asks

people trying to explain away all of the ways in which The Last Jedi ignored or actively threw away various pieces of plot set-up in The Force Awakens never cease to amaze me because like...what do you mean the map that the entire plot of TFA revolves around was always meant to be "just" an Unknown Regions star chart that happened to have Luke's exact route to the first Jedi Temple on it?
Like that's not what the movie says! That's some explanation someone else came up with to explain it after the fact because TLJ chose not to follow TFA's set up with the map!
The Force Awakens says there's a map "to Luke." Not to the Temple, not to Ahch-to. To Luke. Han says "the people who knew him best" (aka, himself and Leia, and possibly Kylo depending on how he learned the information and started pursuing Luke himself via downloading the old Imperial Archives' map database) think he went looking for the First Jedi Temple and that's probably where the map leads to, but the map itself (held by R2, in powered-down mode to protect people from getting it until the time was right, with the missing piece found by Lor San Tekka and held by BB-8 throughout the movie) is canonically repeatedly referred to as "the map to Skywalker." The movie, script, and novelization all but outright state that the map is Luke's map and Luke's specific route to wherever the hell he ended up.
Rian turning around in TLJ and having Luke say that he "came to Ahch-to to die" and "never wanted anyone to follow him here" is nonsense that directly contradicts the entire plot of TFA, and then everyone after him had to come up with something to write around it and explain why we spent an entire movie looking for a map that Luke left behind and led straight to him if he never wanted to be found.
#once again: stop blaming JJ Abrams for things that are clearly Rian Johnson's fault#abrams put a lot of nonsensically convoluted stuff in TFA. THE PLOT is not one of them!#star wars#sw fanwank#sw meta#jj abrams#rian johnson#luke skywalker

We have recurring characters and minor recurring characters reaction to Bobby dying, but we don't have a reaction on screen from Eddie? One of the main characters is not there and does not even get a 20 sec on screen reaction of another Main character dying?
#and all of this bc of shitty writing choices and them being so bad at doing what they get paid for that they couldn't write#- Chris off the show for a season without a convoluted and unnecessary plot#This whole dobbelganger and El Paso storyline was so unnecessary and adds nothing to the plot that we didn't already know#they coul've just not filmed any scenes with Chris and make all of his Character development happen of screen bc that's what#- they are doing right now anyways#eddie diaz#911 show#911 abc#911 spoilers#911 on abc#christopher diaz#chris diaz

Unexpected Weakpoint
Finally finished this hisoillu smut fic from November cause once I approach 5k words my brain turns off and I stop writing lol. I had other... explicit doodles that I might clean and post at the end of the fic. That nsfw art has been uploaded as a new chapter!
Haven't written a (non-OC/next gen) fandom fic in like... over a decade? So that was a fun change. My insane favs, so inspiring 😔
#omg all I wanted to do was a quick lil fic with Ilumi wrecked and sobbing and of course I made the plot convoluted lol#I think the outcome is good and satisfying so I guess it was worth it#hunter x hunter#hisoillu#hisolumi#fan fic#illumi zoldyck#hxh hisoka#my art

I just finished the movie Life Like (2019)… guys a Timberkon au of this would be fire
Tim and Bernard who have to move into Drake Manor because Tim’s parents suddenly disappeared. Bernard, who does not like the idea of servants 24/7, decides to purchase a robot for chores.
Kon— or maybe Thirteen?— happens to be the robot.
#with kon as Henry#lex as julian#you can even add a plot point with the drakes and bruce#wait lowkey a drakes x bruce fic would be fire too#or maybe a prequel#they disappeared to the abandoned wayne manor bc they figured out that bruce was a real human (or clone?)#timberkon find them and they all get together to expose Lex#maybe… maybe add the pennywaynes to this mess too#I’m crying#this is so convoluted but it sounds nice in my head#timbern#timberkon#the drakes x bruce#pennywaynes#tim drake#bernard dowd#kon el
