i need them to never rewind the VHS. i can't face a world where doug meat goes back to thinking he is unloved, a world where he doesn't receive the kindness and gentleness from kingskin. i can't know that johnny is back to being the skulker, hating his dad. i can't see a world where all the other avatars are brought back to the beginning, without the family they've found with each other. even if the lake elsinore gang leave the movie, i need the characters to continue living in this fixed timeline

Is there a way to get better at executive function? Like, tbh, I made breakfast today and packed my lunch and now I’m like all out of steam before I even got to work and I’m like ???

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY | The Wedding <3

oh yeah my favorite character? hes the lazy stereotype who probably has adhd and some other learning disability. yeah hes divorced, but hes also really good with kids, even if hes irresponsible. might have something to do with that car crash he was in. oh yeah hes also the beating heart of the show hes in and brings everyone together by sheer force of comic relief and genuine love. he has a history of trying to connect to people who utterly disregard him- one of which is a morally grey scientist. oh and he saves everyone in the climax of the series by choosing to completely wipe his memory and everyone mourns him after finally realizing how important he was to them.

stanley pines? no, im talking about the one who DOESNT get his memories back in the end, and its framed as a good thing. yeah, doug eiffel.

This is absolutely crack but imagine shipping Doug Rattmann and Judith Mossman just for their potential ship names. We’ve got:

- Jug

- Dudith

- Mossratt

And best of all…

- Manmann

They'd probably bond over having their job applications rejected by Black Mesa or something.

Redemption - @silverstreams

A commission that accompanies the final chapter of Redemption!

Every story comes to a close, and every character finds the bonds that make them whole. Congrats to Silver for 10 years and the finale of an incredible fic!

thinking about doug eiffel and self image. mirrors.

how notably in mayday hes the first character that has conversations with characters who arent there, and its when hes by himself for an extended period of time. how in "am i alone now?" hes the only one who talks back to himself by pretending to be someone else, and how his response to "what do you think of when you hear 'alone?'" is "again. naturally." how its a reference to a song, but also more than that. how much of himself he hides behind self-parody. how in the live show when he records and plays himself back to talk to he always ends up berating or shouting down the recordings. even tries to break the device that plays it back (its played for laughs, but wolf 359 is nothing if not good at playing things for laughs and for genuity at the same time). how when he talks to his internal version of hilbert in boléro hes able to put down the bottle, but never when hes by himself in his own head or when someone real tries to tell him to stop. how in the finale when he gives up on turning the ship around, he does the same thing as in mayday and imagines a minkowski to tell him what to do, but when he tries to say that she doesnt think very highly of him she says "right now the only person saying that is you." how in constructive criticism he gets so withdrawn, so quiet, and its so self destructive.

how everyone implicitly knows a healthy eiffel is one whos cracking jokes and making references and filling the silence. how hes constantly looking for ways to fill the silence, how the logs are just that, a way to fill silence, a way to get out of his own head for a few minutes. how one of the times he sounds most terrified in the whole podcast is when the dear listeners steal his voice and all he can say is "that's not me."

hes a guy who spends a lot of time in his own head, it seems. who uses movies and drinks and jokes and dumb schemes and caring about other people to try and crawl out of it. who every time he has to look in a mirror, looks away.

who by the end can look in a mirror and, for the first time, not recognise the man looking back. and it might even be a relief.
