I'm rewatching Gravity Falls and going insane over the parallels between Stan and Jon.

"Kid, I've always known. I'm not an idiot, Dipper, of course this town is weird! And the one thing I know about that weirdness is that it's dangerous! I've been lying to you about it to try to keep you away from it, to try to protect you!"

As much as it isn't fun to hear Jon yelling at Martin, the end part of Mag 56 is so hilarious to me.

Listen, there is NO evidence to support Martin's claim about lying on his CV, and frankly it's kind of a weak cover story. You are required to show proof of your qualifications when you get a new job on the strength of them - not to mention ID - and even though on a relisten we know Martin's telling the truth and that Elias has his own reasons for hiring Martin, Jon doesn't know any of that. There's nothing to back up Martin's story and given how paranoid Jon's been since Prentiss, not to mention the fact that his specific concerns about Martin were that he might be hiding his own cunning behind the image of someone bumbling and soft (Jonathan "right for the wrong reasons" Sims strikes again) it is wild to me that he accepts this so quickly.

It's almost as though he's eager for Martin to be innocent, even though everything he's previously said about him would indicate that he'd rather it was Martin than Tim or Sasha, the assistants he respects professionally and likes on a personal level. It's so easy to picture him just blue-screening while poor Martin sits there expecting to be fired/screamed at again.

Martin: Okay, that's the truth, do your worst. Jon? Jon??

Jon, internally: Martin's innocent Martin lied to Elias but not me Martin didn't kill Gertrude Martin's safe Martin's still my friend Martin doesn't want me dead

Martin: Jon?

Jon, internally: MartinMartinMartinMartin

My brother, by being an overall nuisance for 2 weeks straight, got me to try playing Warframe. And ok yeah, I'm getting some strong Prototype vibes from the movement- this is unbelievably fun, even when I keep running into walls like a drunk fly.

But this just made me think of how crazy Warframe must look from non-Tenno perspective. You're chilling in your base, minding your business, when a shiny sparkly blur NYYYYOOOOOMS across the room, killing some of your coworkers but totally ignoring you because you were a bit too far to the side to bother, the alarm starts blaring, everyone is shouting, you run after the invader- oh, but they're gone. Where did they go? They're so damn shiny, how could you lose someone so shiny in the middle of your base?? You stand in the middle of the room, with the other coworkers, looking around for any signs of the thing, and then there's only about 1,5 seconds between you noticing a shiny thing flying across the far side of the hangar and your head exploding.

Anyway play Warframe, this shit rules.

Hallo Tumblr Tatort Community,

ich hab mal so ne Frage zu der Art, wie hier mit dem Begriff Queerbaiting umgegangen wird. Wie definiert ihr das, dass man es im Hinblick auf den Tatort verwenden kann? Denn besonders in dem Saarbrückener Tag lese ich häufig Witze über sich vom Öffentlich-Rechtlichen queerbaiten zu lassen und ich muss dem, obwohl ich im ersten Moment darüber gelacht habe, einfach widersprechen. Während bei lang etablierten Tatort Teams (wie z.B. Münster) ein tatsächliches Argument besteht, dass aktiv von der ARD gequeerbaited wird, weil die Angst besteht, dass ala die Nanny viele Zuschauer abspringen, sobald aus dieser will-they-won't-they-Situation eine wirklich fundierte romantische Beziehung entsteht (nicht zu schweigen von den outraged Boomern, die sich über den "woken" Tatort beschweren), ist es für mich bei Tatort Saarbrücken noch lange zu früh, um ein Urteil darüber zu machen, ob die ARD absichtlich eine Masche zieht, um Saarbrücken für die junge Menge attraktiver zu machen. Schließlich haben wir gerade erst einmal fünf Folgen, wobei der Plot von Adams kaputter Familiengeschichte immer noch nicht richtig aufgelöst ist. Gut, an diesem Punkt möchte ich anmerken, dass ich nicht wirklich mit dem offiziellen Tatort-Social-Media-Account in Berührung komme, also kann ich nicht einschätzen, ob sie da irgendwelche falschen Versprechen machen. Aber auch da - ist das schon queerbaiting oder nur teasern, wie es bei jeder anderen Geschichte auch üblich ist?

Ich weiß, dass man nach den Jahren des tatsächlichen Queerbaitings der großen Shows der 2010er (z.B. Supernatural) etwas sensibilisiert ist und eine starke Reaktion folgt, wenn mögliche Anzeichen von Queerbaiting auftauchen. Könnte aber auch ein Slow Burn sein. Und ehrlich gesagt finde ich es schade, wenn das gängige Prinzip eines Slow Burns innerhalb einer Serie ausstirbt, weil die Zuschauer dauerhaft befürchten (müssen), dass sie verarscht werden. An diesem Punkt ist es vielleicht etwas gutgläubig zu sagen "trust the process", aber die ARD hat uns in 2016 mit Robert Karow (Berlin) einen explizit queeren Kommissar gegeben, der gay sex on national television hatte. Die ARD hat also schon bewiesen, dass sie es können - vor allem mit ihren neuen Teams, die vor allem an eine junge Generation gerichtet sind (z.B. Berlin, Saarbrücken). Wir werden abwarten müssen, aber die Hörk Zeit wird sicher irgendwann noch kommen (ich klinge jetzt so delusional wie jeder Johnlock shipper, aber scheiß drauf).

Also, was will ich hiermit sagen? Ich kann mich nur wiederholen: trust the process. Das Urteil ist, dass es für ein Urteil zu früh ist. Die Autoren bräuchten sowieso mal ein wenig Zeit, um den anderen Charakteren ein wenig mehr Leben einzuhauchen. Es kann ja nicht sein, dass nur Adam eine ausführliche Backstory, character motivation, Familie und so weiter hat und vom Rest bekommen wir gerade mal so, dass Leo ne Schwester namens Caro hat und Esther Fußballfan ist. So kann das ja nicht weitergehen. Um eine satisfying Romanze zwischen Adam und Leo aufzubauen, braucht es Leo ein wenig mehr an Motivation, als nur ADAM. Als würde sich sein ganzes Leben vor und nachdem er zurückgekommen ist nur um ihn drehen. Meine Fresse

[Image ID: an excerpt from the MAG 123 transcript. "I have no theories on this. No – no sudden insights. (sigh) I wish I could talk it through with Martin. Or Tim. Or Sasha. But we never really did that, did we? (sigh) Everything’s changed. (shaky, long breath). End ID]

This is going around as a sound on TikTok, prompting me to listen to it several dozen times, and...

Did you ever notice that Jon's voice cracks, just slightly, when he says Martin's name? 🥲

Standing at the edge of the earth

While your eulogetic eyes reflect my armagedic words

And the walls fall down at the speed of sound

Wish I could fucking tell you how It’ll be alright

But I can’t look you in the eye and lie on our last night, so…

There's such delicious dramatic irony in Martin saying, "This isn’t about saving the world, it’s all just some power play against [Elias.]" and being right about that! Peter's ultimate goal isn't to save the world, it's to be the one to end it, and, in the short term, to win a bet -

but Martin's also wrong about his own unimportance, because this is perhaps the clearest shot anyone had at stopping the apocalypse. and if Martin had actually killed Jonah here, the Spider would've had a real hard time fixing that gap in their web
