[jestersroute66]

[mummer]

your love for hotd makes me sooooo fucking happy truly and you’re so eloquent in explaining why you love it and why it works for you and it just makes me :’)

:’D i just LOVEEEEE tv and i love when tv especially huge gangbusters blockbuster franchise tv actually chooses to do something interesting with itself even if i have some problems with it here and there i have so much respect for the massive swings they take and the general ideas theyre churning. Isnt it so crazy that they made lesbianism inextricable from the story?!?!?!?! of one of the most massive franchises on the planet?!?!?!?! lol lol lmaoooooo hahahahahahahaha we’ll laugh and love forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it was going to be silly dragon show stupid slaygirl nonsense big explosions and then they like. Did something else with it. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

i know its probably more rich american culture than rich japanese culture, but i think seto should give transfem mokuba a fucking insane and huge sweet 16 party

like maybe its not long after she comes out and he wants to make her feel special and give her some gender euphoria (with a side of a big old fuck you to the media) so he just goes all out, spending thousands on whatever dresses she wants, a whole crown to top her look off, makes it a private concert with her favorite bands/singers, holograms and light shows everywhere because seto kaiba would not be caught dead planning a party without them, and he runs himself ragged trying to make it as perfect as possible because he loves her and would do anything for her

(honestly she'd be fine with just a day out at the fair or something, but she wont complain about getting a sick ass party and private concert)

Something I really especially love about btas is that every character is just… a human. Batman doesn't just show up and incapacitate 30 people no issue, he has to fight and brawl with just 1 or 2 henchmen. He can be taken out by hits and poisons and such. The rogues have to surrender when the cops get guns to their faces, and can be overpowered even by normal people. Joker isn't some pure evil incarnation of the Devil or whatever, he's just… a really bad man. Same for every other villain and character. And Bruce actually gets to show personality and emotion beyond Brooking and Grunting. He makes jokes and laughs and gets sad.

I'm really getting to understand why people call this the best Batman adaptation.

god I'm so mad about what the show Bones did to Zack. If they needed to write Zack off the show, why couldn't they find literally any other way??

what they did to Zack just hurts me so deeply. I know it's fiction and I keep trying to just move on or write a fix-it fic but I just cant. It still just HURTS me. It's killing me inside. And I'm so fucking mad at the writers.

i need to consume something or my thoughts consume me

[khattikeri]

maybe i'm swinging a bat at a hornet's nest here but some of you don't actually even like having explicit, canon queer characters with unique personalities and their own sex lives. yall prefer vaguer, sexless, thinly implied dynamics that enable fix-it pining get-together fanfic tropes and pat yourselves on the back

hi! i know that i'm fated to read your every work despite not knowing the media half the time. this time i would like to finally be one step ahead. so uhh. where do i read orv? do i go for the webtoon or the novel? to clarify, i did try to search, but got confused by reddit. also i am going to watch trigun. i've been eyeing animorphs too but the 54 (?) books are making me go hmm. thank you for existing you're pretty great. you're like the spiderman of writing but instead you got asbestos rat'd.

THIS ASK IS INSANE. WE'RE REFERENCING MY LORE NOW?

But thank you, you're insane. People ask why I have stupid high standards for the fics i post on AO3 and it is because there are people like you who will just read whatever regardless of whether or not it's good. I have a responsibility.

This ask also made me wonder if I have good taste. Because every time somebody says this my first reaction is "oh god and the source materials aren't even good". I read a lot of trashy stuff (but, like, define trashy), and I consume too many bad things to be able to say I have discerning taste. If I enjoy something I almost never call it bad, because things were made to be enjoyed and I enjoyed them then they had value in at least one aspect. If you were to ask me if my favorite TV show of all time the Incredible Hulk 1974 was actually, unironically, good, then I'd break into a cold sweat. Is somebody bad because it's camp? Is something bad only if it's unintentional camp?

Regardless, I never write fic for something that isn't only like 80% good - there's a sweet spot of 'good enough for me to obsess over' and 'bad enough that I'm rewriting it in my head'. It's rare I write for anything I find completely good. Which is why I feel bad when people say that they're reading this thing I'm writing fic for jalksdf there's better things out there I SWEAR.

ORV is in the sweet spot of "this isn't high literature" and "this has given me brain worms". Definitely for sure start with the webtoon - the webnovel is clunkily translated, you don't read it for the writing at all, and it is also a literal million words. Don't read the webnovel unless you're like "I'm going insane and I need more of this". It starts off kind of slow ("This is a well executed very banal isekai") and you're like a frog in the pot of it slowly going more insane until you're a ways in and you are in a tangle of ridiculously complicated gambits and convoluted storytelling. There is literally no other way to describe it than the Homestuck of webnovels. If you're completely unfamiliar with isekai that's fine, but as a warning - ORV being your first webtoon/webnovel isekai is like your first shoujo manga being Ouran High Schol Host Club, or your first magical girl show being Madoka, or your first mecha anime to be Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's one of the best works in its genre but it's supposed to be viewed in context of the genre. Or maybe it's more like if Homura starred in Evangelion, which was Ouran. I'm just saying words.

Animorphs is kind of like Mother 3 in which everybody who has ever read/played it said that it changed them as a person, it changed their relationship with media and storytelling forever, if you read/play it you will be born again from the world's egg, etc. Works that genuinely become part of your personality. I also never recommend it to people because it is incredibly hit or miss. I remember using a spreadsheet of just "what books are skippable or not" because some of them are incredibly weird and some of them are incredibly weird in the bad way. The only Animorphs fic I've ever written is from 2019 so it's also not that great. Each book only takes an hour to read and the pdfs are free online, so it's incredibly accessible in terms of the reading experience, but it's kinda the Animorphs gestalt that changes you forever and not the individual books. I try not to recommend stuff that's like 25% bad.

Watch Trigun if you like what Trigun is - it's not going to deliver on something it's not. Also watch 98 first. Watch Stampede/read Trimax if you want more Trigun. The Trigun fic is based off Stampede but refer to my "I only write fic for smth that's 80% good and not 100% good" statement.

Also I think being bit by an asbestos rat just means that I probably have mold and drywall in my lungs, which would explain a lot about this blog. Thanks for the ask I love it.

the halo tv show is pissing me off so badly.... to take SUCH a dearly beloved show not only in the gaming world but also just in popular media and milk it for fucking views actually makes me like sick to my stomach. and after seeing what the video games industry is doing right now with how projects are cancelled and all the hard work and amazing artistry in them is never seen again i want to fucking hit someone!! and the fucking layoffs going on in the video game industry is insane. projects are shelved forever and devs are kicked to the curb. not only that, but the fucking ubisoft exec that said people should get used to not owning games?? combined the amount of movies coming out that are purely reboots of older media.... and i cant remember who it was but there was someone in the cartoon industry that pitched like 14 fucking things and they all got shot down! fuck! why cant we fucking care about art! why cant execs fucking understand that we WANT people that care about the projects, and we dont fucking want old ideas revamped when the people in charge clearly dont give a shit about the source material! fuck!

[comradecowplant]

my beef with Hughie being the most annoying part of The Boys ended, Kimiko & Frenchie reigniting their romance is my new The Boys best enemy 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[fly-sky-high-09]

"I didn't teach you to wish someone no matter how bad of a person they are to be dead"

Yeah, thanks for that, genuinely, but I also learned those same people wouldn't give a crap about us in '99 if we were just "mistakingly" bombed as casualty so. Yeah. Some bad people with so much power and no sense or care about regular people should not exist and I will not care for their lives if they don't care for thousands of others while even something as court or justice can't touch them. So fuck them. You thought me differently but the world doesn't share that viewpoint, unfortunately.

[tamaharu]

i do surveys sometimes (dumb; gives away so much personal information and doesnt pay well) and you would not believe the tv shows theyre making me watch

[milf-harrington]

how hard is it, like honestly how fucking hard is it to tell someone "hey, im just making myself dinner and then i wanna watch tv is it alright if you wrap up your show now?" instead of just fucking waltzing in and saying "i need the tv now." like im not, yet a-fucking-gain halfway through an episode? because i get it, i get wanting to come inside after a day at work and wanting to watch tv - but it has been 20 years of the same fucking bullshit of not giving a fuck about anyone else, because apparently i dont fucking matter in this house and i never fucking have

[theclosetedskeleton]

me staring at my DAD when he said "if i see you have any f's during these 10 days.. things are gonna be bad. and by that i mean youre gonna get your tv taken. And youre gonna get no privacy. Meaning im going to take your door away" when i just wanted to go downstairs and get a fucking granola bar and NOT remember that if i fuck up once at school my privacy vanishes

[castielstiddies]

You know, when I started this episode I thought that it's so interesting that House is wearing the BBC Sherlock coat with the upturned collar and everything I thought it was a cool little reference or something. And then the episode continues with House trying to solve his first crime just like the real Sherlock but it's not just a crime it's Kutner's suicide and god... I can't think about it too much or I'll cry again

[legal-poppy]

the fact that so many people (including those involved in the show itself) are ignoring the wishes of the victims' families to NOT have the worst parts of their lives dramatized just so millenial/gen z women can obsess over a hot guy playing a serial killer is a little disturbing
