tangentially related to 30 rock... i just finished watching girls5eva because its the level of sitcom that's fine for me to watch while working and someone brouht it up in my inbox a week or so ago. but when i saw the tiny fey EP credit i was like ahhh okay that makes sense.
showrunner of girls5eva was meredith scardino who was a writer on kimmy schmidt, which also tracks. the 30 rock dna is really trickling down through those shows and i can't tell if its getting weaker as it goes or if its just that since this style of humor is no longer novel it doesnt hit as well
girls5eva was fine i watched the whole thing (i accidentally started on season 3 and did not realize until it was finished. i dont know why netflix decided to start this show at season 3 for me when i hadnt watched the previous ones?) and it definitely had some funny moments but i felt it just like it wasn't quite getting where it needed to humor-wise for me. like all of the ribbing about the horrible misogyny and shit that was just Everywhere in the 00s was fun but i think over all just nothing about it was fresh in a way it would have needed to be to make the show stand out
i never finished kimmy schmidt but i do remember it being pretty funny. havnet watched it since the first few seasons were originally airing, maybe ill go back and do that to compare. but theres also something to be said for how much shorter every show has to be now. girls5eva is 3 seasons with 22 episodes total (dont know if its getting a 4th but it's still listed as 2021- on everywhere), kimmy schmidt was 4 seasons with 51 episode. meanwhile 30 rock had 7 seasons and 139 ! episodes. that's a pretty fucking significant difference. so it may be that just having more leeway to throw spaghetti at the wall gives you the chance to be funnier.
im not exactly tapped in to the sitcom market but i feel like it's been probably around a decade since we've gotten a new one that's really managed to produce what i view as stand-out and novel humor. definitely the best one since 30 rock has been community, but i also do think brooklyn 99 managed to really nail a lot of good Bits even if the way it made people act was intolerable a lot of the time. captain holt you will always be famous. but other than those 2 i don't think anything really groundbreaking has been done in the US sitcom landscape since the aughts
im sorry abbott elementary stans its perfectly enjoyable television but it's just like Doing a Parks and Rec again which was in turn Doing An Office But Twee itself.

time for a silly little tsukasa rant when i should be sleeping!m,!(i wrote this at 11 o clock at night and am putting it in my queue bc ive put way too much on my blog tonight)
first off i want to address how AWFUL HIS PARENTS ARE
we in the pjsk fandom all know saki was/is chronically ill, and constantly in the hospital when she was a child. and we also know that their parents would go with her to comfort their youngest
but like.. they left tsukasa alone when he was a kid. yes, he may have acted mature for his age, but still?"? dont leave your kid alone for whole weekends without SOMEONE watching him..
next is that god awful room..
literally has at least one open wall to the rest of the house.. hes got like no privacy..
sure it may have been fine when it was just him in the house for days at a time, but now that he's a teenager and saki's better and his parents are home more often??? nah man..
third is that not too many people ive talked to address just how growing up like that affects him
tsukasa was quite literally all alone during the early years of his childhood (save for like shizuku and toya, but idk when they met). thats gotta affect someone. when people write and/or make art and comics PLEASE add something like that because you cant really brush that off.. like, it would make sense for him to positively hate being alone.
ive got a lot more but that was just my silly little rant for now teehee

I am sorry you've been harrassed by terfs, but the way you are currently trying to weed them out seems a bit misguided. As in, the vast majority of terfs are in fact ok with big hairy CIS men. The so-called men they are actively hating are trans women/transfem people. So by acting like you proclaiming your love to big hairy dudes is the best terf-repellant you seem to be missing the point at best.
i'd love to actually respond to your concerns or whatever the hell it was that you were trying to convey with this ask, but it has almost no basis in reality so i literally cant.
thats the one statement on how effective i think the banners are that has left my queue so far. which is: i hope it works but also have literally 2 other backup plans already in case it does not. i dont know why youre calling that "acting like [me] proclaiming [my] love to big hairy dudes is the best terf-repellant", because thats wildly off target from what i have actually said at any point. everything else youve said is also pretty much either dead wrong or ignorant, so im getting the feeling that you not reading has been a problem for a while.
(ive also not mentioned terfs this entire time--ive been talking about radfems and using the word radfems. they're not the same thing although there's large overlap. so like. thats strike two for zero reading comprehension, buddy. cause you are literally not talking about the group im talking about and youre also inventing whole new sentences that i didnt say.)

i actually also need yor and loid to take care of each other while one of them is sick with like the flu or something
like we already saw tiny bits of this like when yor kicked loid in the face for the honey trap and laid him on her lap while she sang to him, she also covered him with her coat, we also saw loid carrying tired yor on the cruise arc, and obviously there has been other tiny examples but i want it big scale
i want a feverish loid in his head feeling all guilty (even tho he should be) for been sick because the mission and how could that happen, and hes sick and anxious and then yor just takes care of him so sweatily, she brings him soup and checks his temperature ,and sings to feel better, and it reminds him of his mom again. then i want anya to bring him her favorite plushie to make him company, maybe she even tells him a story, the new episode of spy wats, and then she tells papa she is going to study to make him proud and loid cant help but smile. god he loves his family
i want this to lead him to drop the facade for a moment, and letting himself cherish those moments, and realize he’s not alone, i want him to feel at home, to feel the warmth and love from his family
i also need a lil moment when he just looks at yor singing in awe, he’s even blushing little bit, which later he will attribute to the fever but for a moment he accepts his feeling
i want next time he looks at yor in her normal outfit doing something mundane to blush a little, because although he was sick his barriers definitely dropped a little bit and he cant help it anymore

mm thinking about helping your highness get ready. going to your chambers to wake you up, cooing softly at how messy your hair is, and helping you up out of bed. picking your clothes out and helping you get dressed, softly praising you about how regal you look. I'd make an offhand comment about how you wear whatever I pick like a dog wears his collar and click my tongue. you hear me, but I wave you off and direct your attention to breakfast. setting your food on the table in front of you and telling you to be a good boy and eat your food, clicking my tongue. again, you question me, and again, I wave you off. that continues all day. I help you with something, praise and click, and then move on before you think too much about it. eventually, you subconsciously begin to anticipate the clicks and associate them with me serving and praising you. one day, I notice you struggling with some work and decide that you're in need of a break. so, i come up behind you and rub your shoulders. i tell you that you've been working so hard, click. you've been such a good prince, tending to your responsibilities, click. on and on i go, gradually pulling you away from your work and closer to me. at this point, even if you don't know what to expect from me getting on my knees, your body does; to be serviced.

whining?? whining??? mean??? MEAN??
hi hii thank you for the ask but hgh this one's so mean. i'm not squirming at the thought of being spoiled and praised and clicker trained by my very good dog. nope not at all.
hh. my brain has been melting at this one for a bit and i cannot think of WORDS but. the concept is so good i think like !! even just the. bit about taking care of me in the morning is soo. i may be a prince but i am also a pupy... i'm not much of a morning person so i'm sure i'd be extra pliant too... going along with it without much fuss
i would be confused at first of course but you take such good care of me that i'd simply just get used to it with no need for too many questions. i wouldn't think about it too hard.. there's so many other things for me to think about after all. not even realizing i'm getting used to it and anticipating it.... clicker training your prince is!! very mean and cruel but also. maybe i am. a dumb dog at heart too so it would be so easy.. anticipating the clicks not unlike how i anticipate these asks and get. so excited when i see the rose at the end i mean what who said that?
hgh. by the time you'd actually be able pull me away from work i'd be so desperate for it. squirming in my chair and whining a little bit because my body is expecting it even though my brain hasn't caught up yet. but since you made this happen you'd better take responsibility and take good care of me (please..)
