I'm obsessed with your rarijack post. I would love to hear your thoughts on flutterdash. That one was always my favorite but rainbow was often a victim of the new writers not understanding her and writing her weirdly
my post about Danver’s racism hits so much harder knowing now that she had an Indigenous son and she lost him, implicitly to someone white and drunk like the woman she arrests in an early episode. She made a life with a man she loved and she had a baby with him - someone she likely felt growing inside her, that was born with her eyes, that looked nothing else like her but was her baby. Her special little boy. And then this town, out of nowhere, stole him from her in the most horrific way. So love nothing. Protect no one. Let nobody in. Until Navarro with all her problems and her heart and her belief and that connection which allows her to see Holden, to tell Liz what he said, comes crashing in. And everything changes.
TWST fic writers stop reducing Silver’s entire personality to just “sleepy boy who falls asleep all the time and is sooooo sleepy and tired and did i mention he sleeps a lot and also he loves his dad” challenge (impossible) (gone wrong)
me: dammit stolas you can't just walk away from someone who's struggling to connect with you, even if they're doing so through the poorly processed means of yelling insults, you've gotta give them time to work through it and not need to control everything
also me: [is aware that i also need to engineer situations to go perfectly and if someone started yelling at me i too would immediately get triggered and leave the situation and cry and if i had portal-making powers would yeet them to another continent, never mind just outside the door]
i have a soft spot for fics where billy sort of ends up adopting el and will alongside max. like, these are the kids that get dibs for rides in the camaro haha.
also im unfortunately not participating bc prev commitments but #harringrove for turkey is happening right now if yall want to donate to the earthquake relief funds for turkey & syria and get some art/fic back from harringrove fans! :) check out the tag if you're interested!!
once again thinking about how the purple mushroom head Tallulah defaults to wearing was a birthday present from Forever. he gave it to her because when he saw her wearing a skull on her head he thought she might like to wear something cuter. and now she basically wears the mushroom whenever she can :')
reading what julian jones said in an audio commentary about that merlin and gwaine scene in ep 4x07 I'm screaming
[Gwaine is waiting for Merlin in Gaius’s chambers.]
Merlin: I’m busy.
Gwaine: Doing what?
Merlin: What do you think?
RW: So Gwaine wasn’t in this, uh, initially? Not in this scene?
JJ: Well, there was a scene that was in, um, the armoury, from what I remember.
RW: Yeah.
JJ: And, um…Merlin got quite angry that Arthur wasn’t doing anything and was uncharacteristically rude, in fact, and was quite bolshie. And I think that is what motivates, uh, Gwaine to come and offer to help out.
RW: Yeah.
JJ: And so that wasn’t there for Gwaine. And in the end, the scene really wasn’t…wasn’t necessary. It didn’t take us anywhere. This scene’s a lovely scene because it’s a relationship. We know that they have a close relationship.
RW: That they’re close, yeah.
[Agravaine watches Gwaine and Merlin ride off together.]
JJ: Yeah, and you instinctively understand why Gwaine has gone there to help out his friend and, um, Merlin, feeling the whole world’s against him…rejects this. Um, but then, slowly, they form a partnership and um…which is, uh, going to drive us towards, uh, rescuing [Gaius].
pov: what if, as a result of your trauma, you created me to protect you and i took that as my life duty but that same protective love was my best grace and also my ultimate flaw
a.k.a im obsessed with harpae from pocket mirror... 💖🕊
