I find it oddly suspicious that you’re nicer than I thought you’d be. I knew you’d be nice, BUT YOURE LIKE A FREAKING ANGEL
Tumblr media
Suspicious

i’m sorry but i have read The Bear discourse and it’s driving me nuts! to say that there is no chemistry between sydney and carmy other than as friends is just simply Not Based in Reality and whether a relationship is narratively Plausible in our collectively Imagined Future is not (nor does it need to be!) the same as whether you think it would be like a good narrative Choice
#i’m writing an essay in these tags so be warned clicking show more lol#harry and hermione were Narratively Plausible that doesn’t mean I think they would have been Narratively A Good Idea#sorry to invoke that but i just needed a parallel example and that is one of the most wide reaching ones i can come up with#wahh wahh why is everything about romance these days#because it’s not actually all about romance it’s all about relationships and it just so happens that the Romantic kind happen to be popular#both in terms of Sells Good and in terms of ACTUAL LIVED EXPERIENCES#and like here’s the thing#you (not the reader unless it is) act as if no one has ever#(1) developed romantic feelings for a friend or (2) had an unadvisable hook up#except in reality (where i currently reside) (and from whence others have apparently departed)#THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME#THOSE ARE VERY COMMON OCCURENCES#and Sometimes when a show is about how Maybe We Aren’t All Alone After All part of that experience is finding Romantic love!#and like i actually agree that Not Everything Needs to be a Romance (kinda) (i’m generally pretty pro romance) (i’m hiding it well i think)#but if your story is just about Life and Lives#(at least adult ones)#then to Expect or Demand or even just Encourage their to be No Romance Only Friendships#feels - and i will say it again - Like You Are Living On A Different Planet#(if you are 14 years old this isn’t about you it’s fine you’ll be Not 14 one day)#anyway essay not really complete but it’s time to stop hahaha#the bear#sydney x carmy

I'll be a showrunner that's specifically aware of fandoms the way all showrunners in my generation will inevitably be once we get old enough but I'll be aware of them in the way that says I'm specifically ignoring them when i write

My brain does scary things to me but it's only sometimes and sometimes it still lies but in a fun or harmless way that doesn't affect anything
Not really sure if it's all stuff everyone experiences sometimes or if it's something that if it happened a teeny bit more often would need to get treated. Idk even for what though
#ghostly posts#like okay sometimes I wake up convinced there's somebody with intent to harm me very close#it's hard. impossible. for me to sleep in complete darkness especially alone because the shapes turn into things#or I see skulls in my closed eyelids#but other times it's like. oh yeah when I was 8 I genuinely heard something that could only explained at the time as the tooth fairy twinkle#like I was falling asleep but still conscious enough to commit the moment to memory. i remember hearing the fairy#and sometimes whispers of my name while I'm conscious. like. even alone in complete silence.#or just. idk.#if I'm in a room with low enough light levels the darkness starts creeping in and filling my vision#so that I can't see anymore#and blinking doesn't help#that happens all the time#there's a constant static over my vision that I believe people call 'visual snow' that's easy to never even notice#until I'm in a low light situation. and then I'm like. oh everything is fuzzy#in this unfixable way#it's really too easy for me to think too hard and convince me this life isn't real#like in an honest. 'I'm dreaming someone else's life and I'll wake up and be someone or something else' way#like life just feels out of reach as if I'm about to wake up from a dream and none of this matters all of a sudden#i am pretty good at snapping out of it. grounding myself. only ever lasts 30 seconds or less#because it's easy to go 'but I don't have any recollection of this other life I'm supposed to have so this is the real one'#i imagine if I spent time building a daydream world that would be way harder for me#which makes me glad I kind of can't do that

I can’t imagine posting chapters of a story as I write it. I mean, what do you do if something you write at 50,000 words changes something you wrote back at 2000 words??

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.
Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao
this is so stupid :D
Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

Danny doesn't get why everyone looks at him suspiciously hes just a guy he hasn't even turned phantom since he got to Gotham like seriously this is the most normal he's been in years why are they looking at him like he announced he was going to be a villain
Gotham as a whole does not trust the new guy who moved there everyone knows who he is because he's so kind clearly a ploy to lure them into a false sense of security so they'll be shocked when he becomes a new rouge well not this time oh no
Or
Danny moves to Gotham and no one trusts him no matter what because every time a goodytwoshoes from out side the city tries to be kind and helpful they end up twisted and insane and they ain't bying that this kid is all sunshine and rainbows

DP x DC prompt [15]
Danny accepts that because of his half dead status he won't be able to become an astronaut and he has to find a different way to feed his space obsession.
He decides to get really into astromancy (yes, the magic. He already knows everything about astronomy). He gets himself the more spiritual star charts, old surprisingly authentic tomes about the art and divination cards to go with it all and gets to learning.
Tbh he kind of went into this not expecting much but it turns out he had homo magus heritage from his Nightingale roots and he actually manages to call upon the power of the stars.
He figures he can blame the vaporized wall on ghosts.
Meanwhile, a foreboding feeling like cold shivers run down the spines of several magic users that they can only describe as "a child having figured out they need to switch off the safety on their mini nuke launcher in order to fire it"
The JLD is scrambling to locate the source of the surge in magic power before someone with bad intentions can get there.
