I dreamt that we found out SJ was married (in like 1790 and 1791) out of convenience, because there was a rule you could become a deputy even under 25 if you were married. So of course he did, but he didn't live with his wife and we couldn't find any sources on her or who she was. The dream was basically us trying to figure out if he divorced in 1792 and there were different posts and discussions about it.
Designs for adult versions of the clone cadets in bad batch as Rebellion leaders
The first weird thing I noticed was that they kept specifying that tbb are "defective CTs", whereas iirc most other clones leave out the "ct" part. additionally, "special training" must have been a reasonably expected occurrence for them, since it was used as the Hemlock-jungle-lab excuse. they're also, oddly enough, the only three survivors from a base full of both cadets and adult clones. and finally, all three of them have noticeably different face shapes.
so my guess for their origins is that they're the results of the kaminoans trying to replicate tbb's mutations in a commando template, making them all specialized CC command cadets. From what we've seen of them, they don't seem to have quite as prominent abilities as say, wrecker or hunter, but are definitely above average to have survived that long.
Anyways the mini-backstory for them here is that they end up joining the rebellion around 5 years later (assuming that they're 6/12 and 8/16 in tbb s3, they would be 11/22 and 13/26 here) as the lead squad for the clone rebel cell after rex, wolffe, and gregor retire (and echo and cody are presumably dead).
Bonus: I originally had Deke's hair as dyed blond, but then he started looking too much like Rex (esp with the jaig eyes and partial arc armor) so I changed it back
edit: sorry i forgot to tag spoilers at first! it has since been fixed
Billie Piper fighting for her life, sitting next to Christopher Eccleston while he says that Russell T Davis, Julie Gardner and Phil Collinson would have to be sacked before he ever has a Doctor Who cameo, like the child of divorce that she is.
as true as the jokes about “everyone wants to rewrite ninjago” are i feel like smthn people forget when complaining about the inconsistencies of the show is that…. it wasn’t planned? it’s not like most other animated shows lately - it didn’t start with a deeply fleshed out world or a meticulously designed pitch bible with grandiose plans for a long-term story or character arcs. the ninja don’t originally get their powers from heredity because they weren’t hereditary powers yet. the magic system doesn’t make sense bc they literally just made it up as they went! they go back and forth on stuff like whether non-elementals can learn spinjitzu bc it’s a collaborative piece of media made by people with vastly different levels of control over the story, the animation, the sets, etc. that varied over the course of the series. it’s totally understandable and exciting to see so many people reworking the early stuff with the lore and logic later seasons introduced but i personally feel that… if you’re doing that. you need to understand why the show is like that instead of writing it off as being bad and shitty. it was working with what it had. it’s only what it is now because of that awkward troubleshooting phase, not in spite of it
I’m a non black POC, and ever since you mentioned how non black people misuse aave as internet slang and don’t use the correct grammar, it’s finally made sense when some posts sound so off while others sound coherent. My country has its own dialect of English that we use alongside proper English so I get code switching to an extent. like I may not know the correct grammar either but now it’s easier to spot people who ARENT using AAVE correctly and oh my GOD it’s become so annoying to read those posts and hear those influencers!!!!! YOURE NOT USING IT CORRECTLY, just talk like you normally do!!! Youre butchering it!!!!! How do you stand it Ms Kendra? In any case I hope you have a wonderful day ahead and I wish you many a sexy Leo’s!!!!!
it really is a legit language!!!! like you can really tell when someone has not learned aave organically--aka being a part of a culture where it is spoken in the home--and when they just copy shit they see off the internet! and i really don't stand it 😭😭😭😭😭 it legit pisses me all the way off everytime i see it lakgkgklgllkalkg im just accepting that im gonna have high blood pressure. i saw some cracker jack say 'the gaggery you are' and saw fire behind my eyes bc its sooooooooooooo disrespectful bc you can tell ppl like that don't care or understand that aave is a legit language with specific sentence structures and u can't just mix it all together like gibberish. and then they be like 'we didnt know' why the FUCK are u using words you don't understand?
but thank u so much love! i will have a great day despite....despite.....and i hope you do too!
it’s crazy to me that the hawkins family photos insta account hasn’t been clocked by netflix or the duffers when that account has thousands of followers posting high def pics where you obviously have to be near or on the set to capture them, but when we wanted the official scripts from that guy that would post scripts for MULTIPLE SHOWS FOR YEARS, he was taken care of with a swiftness 😭😭
i’m not saying hawkins family photos needs to be taken down. i’m just saying that it’s interesting they didn’t want us to see those scripts from episodes we’ve already seen, but high def pics where like obviously ppl who work on set would potentially see the person taking pics of season 5 is just going about their day???? nahhh something was in those scripts that was legit. something was in there they didn’t want us to see i swear. they told us those scripts were fake but idk something’s fishy 🤨🧐
no but “am i dreaming or is that you harrington?” “yeah it’s me don’t cream your pants” being a canonical interaction between billy and steve is still so insane
still upsets me so bad that homare's skating career was overshadowed by her crush on harry like why.... why did henri have more of an arc in that regard than she did hes a side character. and i love henri ofc his relationship with masato and his conflict with growing older and becoming less androgynous looking is genuinely such a great storyline and i wouldnt give it up for anything but homare deserved to have an equally well thought-out storyline considering shes one of the main characters but i always feel like she was just reduced to her crush on harry and it just makes me :/
