#i still had fun speculating

WHY are BT shippers so vehemently against actually analyzing the symbolism and choices made for this show?

i mean i saw multiple people saying we were overthinking the vertigo poster. they were saying that it was weird to assume that Buck would fill the pining best friend role that Midge did in the original movie??? (haven’t seen the movie, i just read a few synopses)

i’m sorry, so you agree that he put Ryan Guzman in the main character and Devin Kelley as the love interest because they’ll fill those roles in the storyline, but we’re overthinking when we point out what role he put Oliver Stark in?

or when i bring up the possible symbolism of Tommy always calling him Evan, the only response i get from BT stans is “well he would tell him if he didn’t like it” or “i think it’s because he was introduced that way and that’s why” or even “i think he probably likes that Tommy calls him Evan” (all real responses i saw) and it’s like, yeah that’s cool, those are great headcanons for you, but that actually isn’t what i was talking about. nothing wrong with having a headcanon, but it doesn’t explain anything about the show or answer any of my questions.

i mean in s4 he corrected his PARENTS and told them his name was Buck, and in s6 it was used to emphasize the strangeness of his coma dream, how everyone was calling him Evan, the whole show him being called Evan has almost always been used to emphasize that someone doesn’t know him very well, how are y’all convinced that it’ll mean something different this time? i get that some people think it’s supposed to be growth, that he’s cool with being called his first name, but if that’s the goal it definitely isn’t reading that way to me.

like i wish i could see things through the same lens as these people so it could make sense to me, i just don’t get how you can willfully ignore SO many hints just so you can ship what you want.

no hate to the ship or the shippers obviously, i’m just baffled by the lengths they’ll go to in order to convince themselves that plot device man is endgame for Buck.

#buddie #i know now that i’m not allowed to tag this bucktommy #i still feel like i should but i know they’ll get mad at me #911 #911 on abc #evan buckley #eddie diaz #tommy kinard #and like it’s fine to ship what you want but why do you have to try and convince everyone it’s endgame? #like just ship it and be happy you get content #you actually don’t have to convince us to ship it as well #you don’t have to try and stop buddie fans from shipping what we want #you are actually allowed to ship what you want without trying to discredit everyone’s theories #plus like even if i’m wrong theories are still fun #even if the show turns out nothing like i’m predicting it will(it most definitely won’t turn out like my predictions) #i still had fun speculating #even if it is all over analyzed (it probably is) it’s still fun #also didn’t tim minear say this season would parallel s4? #in s4 it was HEAVILY emphasized in buck begins that his parents calling him Evan made him uncomfortable #if this season really does parallel s4 (not seeing it yet but idk) then that choice HAS to be intentional

WHEEEEEE ETHNICITIES POST PART 1!!!!!!! COS I GOT NO CLUE HOW 2 GO ABOUT CULTURES N SHIT!!!!! LOL!!

OK SO ive FINALLY finished the 5 main colour variations (& overall morphology) for angels!!! posting these separate from the culture post cos i still have fuckall idea for that(plus theres already a fair few images in this post if i tried combining the 2 i would have..... a long ass post lol) ANYWAY:

SALT DESERT: least populous of the 5. theyre essentially tundra angels but w thicker skin & MUCH paler. built to handle extreme temperature variation as well as VERY STRONG air currents & high altitudes. body type is typically tall & skinny, with long wings & sail. theyre 3rd best in terms of long-distance flight.

TUNDRA: most populous of the 5. theyre the goldilocks in terms of preffered climate, in that they stick to the tundras & savannas of homeworld(not too hot/cold, average wind speed, etc). body types vary, but theyre usually on the leaner side for aerodynamics, with long wings & sail. 2nd best at long-distance flight.

CENTRAL CLIFFS: 2nd most populous of the 5 & are built to survive the warmer temperatures of the equator throughout the year. body types are typically on the heavier side to help with burrowing & to accommodate for the much higher likelihood of getting domed by flying debris, as well as broad-but-short wings & sail. theyre 2nd worst at long-distance flight, as theyre more suited for climbing & gliding than powered flight.

NORTH/SOUTH COAST: 3rd most populous of the 5. coastal angels are the largest of the angel types, and are built to survive & navigate the seas & frozen coastlines of homeworld with ease. theyre the best at long-distance flight, as they often take regular journeys from the north to the south to ferry resources between both the coastal spheres as well as other spheres that might be up to trade. body types are usually TALL & WELL BUILT, with a long sail & wings.

TROPICS: 2nd least populous of the 5 as well as the shortest. theyre an offshoot of coastal angels who preffered to burrow amongst the more varied plantlife of angel homeworld. theyre the worst at flying, often only able to glide & fly in short bursts(similar to earth chickens) as theyre almost entirely suited to burrowing. the average body type for tropic angels is short & stocky, with short wings.

like usual, gif stills r under the readmore :)

Can’t wait for Buck to ask Tommy to get a new couch with him

Just because i’m curious what kind of couch Tommy would choose

you know i do wonder how many sonic characters actually have living parents. like knuckles is the last of his kind so obviously his parents arent around anymore. both guys who could be considered shadows dads are 100 percent confirmed dead. sonic is canonically an orphan im pretty sure. and on the other side of the coin cream is like the only character in the game cast who has a living parent we actually see onscreen. but what about everyone else i dont think theres a straight answer for any other character. other than rouge's mom being mentioned a couple times i Guess but we dont even know anything about her or if shes still alive just that she existed at some point. are these kids constantly putting themselves in danger because they dont have parents around to stop them or because their parents just dont care

#like what about tails. im guessing he didnt have any sort of family he was attached to if he left to be with sonic so quickly #but that doesnt really mean he didnt have parents at all. maybe he had parents and they just sucked i dont know #what about amy. what if she had parents this whole time we just never see them. #what about blaze. considering shes a princess id assume she was born into that role #but i dont know if her parents are ever actually mentioned #maybe theyre dead and there was no one else to take on their role and thats why blaze has so much responsibility at such a young age? #silver . he was born in a wet cardboard box all alone i cant really imagine him hvaing parents sorry #considering charmy is 6 and living with vector. an adult whos obviously not his biological dad. #i feel like something probably happened to charmys parents #espio i dont really question as much #becuase it feels very common in the sonic universe for teenagers to have more freedom than would be expected in real life #or maybe its not that common and the teenagers we're actually following are just living the most fucked up lives ever. i dotn know #but either way. espio where are your parents buddy. are they still alive. vector where are YOUR parents are they still alive #i dont know if i actually want canon explanations for all this though #because its kinda fun not knowing every detail about every characters life and being able to speculate and insert your headcanons n stuff #to be clear im talking about game canon #i know stuff like archie sonic and the sonic movies and the 90s cartoons will sometimes give characters new family members #or talk about their family situation even if the games dont say anything about that sort of thing

some speculative ideas for scott's character if empires smp ever has a 3rd season, based of his character in new life ending as a butterfly and translating it to fairy, specially after chat with my partner about me thinking someone in our minecraft server was going to saddle a bee XD

#empires smp #empires s3 speculation #empires scott #empires mythicalsausage #scosage #new life smp #<-technically #my art #mythicalsausage #scott smajor #dangthatsalongname #and of course i just imagined scott as like a classic cheeky fae #and i really just had to include the scosage XD #would be funny if sausage's s3 character is still the assasin but maybe translated to be a monster hunter? #idk is wishful thinking i know but would be a fun dynamic if sausage has to kill/capture scott for whatever reason #and they are just aggressively flirting XD

Hey! I can't remember if you ever found out what the red flower vines on Frank's house could be, but I think I found a candidate! It's called the Red Mandevilla Vine and their meaning is interesting

OHHH THAT'S THE BITCH!!! that's gotta be the bitch!!! i'm stuck between that one and the red trumpet vine, but i think you probably Got It. hopefully... god i'm gonna be chewing on this all night aren't i

if anyone is curious, this ask is referencing This Post i made about neighborhood observations / flower symbolism

#'feeling secure in the love we possess inside us rather than needing something from the outside to feel complete/whole' #give. gimme a second im. oh my god i. oh. um. WAILING #some other symbolism found from the mandevilla im seeing is #thoughtlessness/recklessness from one source #perseverence/determination from another #and the last im finding is strength/resilience/adaptability #i love how flower symbolism is like 'heres five different interpretations have fun' #i think all of em could fit frank perhaps? we'll have to see #rambles from the bog #wh speculation #motherfucker there was something else i wanted to say!!! #i had it primed to add on and then i went to type it and Poof! Gone From My Brain!!! #shit!!! im mad now. thats gonna bother me all night #sigh. anyway #the level of insanity im at is zooming in to count flower petals #which is very ridiculous of me #but still... looking real hard at those vine flowers and they could easily be either mandevilla or trumpet.... #bc the way some of them are clustered look like trumpet... but also do they..... im losing my mind #rocking back and forth in a corner chanting 'its not that deep its not that deep' #But What If It Is. huh. What Then.

Shout-out to everything that went wrong with ofmd s2 from production issues to bad pacing to killing Izzy because that effectively drained almost all of the creative energy out of my side of the fandom because now Im reading books again!

#izzy hands #the witches curse is broken #fanfic got me back into reading #but afterwards I couldn't get myself to read anything bc I was too busy reading fic lmao #but i got into audiobooks while at work and listened to those #but when I checked out physical copies to read of the sequels I still didn't read them #but yesterday during my lunch break i was like I wish I had a book to read... #because no-one (including me) has the desire to really make anything new to patch up our sinking ship #ofmd critical #i guess im only tagging this bc I know things get twisted #the down side though is the books Im reading dont have active fandoms or if they do they are small #or the series is overrr and any fandom interaction that i do is impossible until I catch up #but 90% of my fun comes from speculation

You know, the castle story "That Which Remains" is very effective at wounding me emotionally. Specifically, what is shown developing and then dashed against the rocks without mercy.

That is, Euden's and Audric's relationship in particular.

Now, at this point Audric hasn't learned he's forcing his magical Alzheimer's to him specifically on everyone else. Sure, there's been some weird instances people where couldn't remember things about him, but in general he's been sticking around pretty consistently for relationships to form.

Especially with Euden, since Euden seems to have developed a pretty close relationship with Audric. They've been working together regularly and often enough that Euden is maintaining so much sentiment about Audric that he feels ill-at ease when Audric is away. Enough to feel a need to vocalize his more selfish desire that Audric could stay, which is something considering Euden's tendency to push down anything he views as 'selfish'. He holds Audric in very high regard enough to send him on complicated, delicate solo missions.

He even seems to have figured out or is piecing together that Audric is Aurelius. Euden's about to potentially get his father back in some form, even an otherworldly one. Euden might have been able to get some actual parental support from his dad that he's missed since Aurelius' abrupt death, and Audric might have been able to get some quality time with at least one of his kids. Being able to help guide the next generation and ease some of his guilt.

...But by the time he returns Euden has forgotten him outright.

Though he doesn't remember anything about Audric, there still seems to be something that's distressing Euden. He flees uncharacteristically, whether it be because he is having sudden concerns for his own health/memory or strong emotions lingering that he has no context for now.

Either way, to me it's a very sad idea that they were growing so close, only for Euden to forget it all because of Audric's... problems. It was so close to that little bit of happiness for the both of them, only for it to be dashed against the rocks. It also then seems to drive Audric to be more isolationist? As he accepts the idea that nobody is remembering him and that he deserves it, and then resolves more to take solace in actions that he's doing than forming any bonds since he knows they'll wither away just as soon. While he pretends to be fine with it, I'm sure it's still an emotional hardship that you can't form any meaningful relation with another and will be near-instantaneously forgotten as soon as you're gone.

To me, this exchange later in the main campaign almost sounds like Audric talking to himself, trying to stop himself from wallowing in the dream he would be remembered, and focusing on the actions he can take to effect change.

Even so, he's still trying to encourage Euden to remember something about their interactions, though he's accepted he himself won't be a part of them. He's trying to leave something behind to his son.

He's remembering what he once had with Euden, both his own and this world's Euden not all too long ago.

I think that's a huge part of Audric, aside from all that guilt and self-loathing: memories. As everyone else forgets, he remembers, and can only hope to use those memories for good to leave behind something.

Be it saving Euden from supposed-dead insects and their venom, or encouraging Emile to become a better ruler and person by using his memories of Emile as a guide to know what to say, to helping Nedrick understand that Euden and him needn't be enemies, Audric's- and Aurelius'- memories are what allow him to accomplish so much and influence his children on a better path.

And then, just after he dies, once and for all...

They might have started remembering.

This conversation is specifically noted to have occurred days after Audric died, which seems to fall greatly outside the range of time it normally took for people to forget Audric or details about him. But Euden and co still remember his existence, his identity, and his death.

Despite his constant affirmations that Audric knew he'd never leave behind anything of himself aside from any results of his actions, he might have left memories behind after all. It's just a shame his earlier bonds he had begun to form with Euden, old friends (Raemond) and new ones alike weren't able to survive beforehand.

#dragalia lost #dragalia #character analysis #I still remember all the fun speculation around the 1st anni when we first saw Audric. Who was he? #People were generally of 3 camps: Aurelius. 5th Scion. Or Future Euden. All three were fun ideas but... #if only we knew the sheer amount of tragedy could be baked into this sad dad man and his dragon. #Still looking at what Euden & Audric & all the royal fam could have had is even worse #I also wish Audric could've had a conversation with Leo since he talked with most other siblings but Leo in particular has a more critical #perspective on Aurelius and I wonder how Leo would have felt about this Aurelius since one of their defining differences was Audric being #harsher and more focused on being a good king than parent to his children even if he cared just as deeply. It's what Leo would have wanted #as his parent and I wonder if he would have grown to understand Aurelius better or solidified his 'this is how Father should've been' idea.

Des Rocs was fucking AMAZING, y'all. Like. I had the time of my life. Genuinely the most fun I've had at a concert, I think. I was sweaty and overheated and my voice is horse from how much I was yelling and singing. And I have Zero Regrets!!!!

Here r the pictures I took at the concert. Took a few videos too of some of my favorite songs!! But overall I was just kinda Feeling it. No time for filming. Jumping and yelling and punching the air. I was so worn out I was lightheaded afterwards, but it was so much FUNNNNNNNNNN

I got a few things of merch, but the hilarious impulse purchase that I do not regret at all. Is. THIS.

I bought a used & signed drum head from the merch table hfkshfkd. They only had two (I bought the smaller & cheaper one), so I was just like. Fuck. I Gotta. So I bought it before the show & the vender was nice enough to keep a hold of it for me until after the show. Maybe in time it'll be worth a Lot of money. Maybe not! But either way, it's worth a lot to ME, so that's what matters ❤️

Des Rocs just has such wonderful energy. That was the most I've ever gotten into a show before. He was silly, joking around, seemed to be having so much fun!!! The opener couldn't make it bc their van broke down (I think is what he said), so he played extra to make up for it. So I got to hear a few songs I wasn't expecting to!!! Like Hanging by a Thread and Nothing Personal. The 2nd one especially was WONDERFUL bc it's the song that got me into his music!!!! It was a slowed down version, but it was still rly nice to listen to & a wonderful surprise. Overall tho he played stuff from the Dream Machine album & his two EPs. White Gold and Nowhere Kid were transcendent to me. Neverending Moment was so much fucking FUN. Honestly all the songs were tho. So so so good. So fun. I had the time of my fucking life.

I may or may not end up losing my voice from this. No Regrets!!!!!

#speculation nation #des rocs #this was the indianapolis show btw. for anyone who might see this in the tag. #there were maybe 150 people in the venue. tiny ass place. but that just made it better imo #i was closer to the back of the crowd yet still only like 20 feet from him. wild !!!!! #and thankfully i never had too much trouble seeing!!! not always a thing i can say for concerts #bc im so short lol. #it was a constantly moving crowd. everyone so into it. way too warm. sweaty as hell. #it was. So Much Fucking Fun. #im going to be thinking about this for my entire life. and i cant Wait for when he next goes on tour!!!!

still thinking about shiv trying to blackmail with zero leverage (and being so shiv-ly sure she didn't need any... girl) the one person on this show sociopathic enough to live consistently by gerri's maxim (how does this serve my interests); and also, relatedly, the fact that the conversation greg and shiv had, in which he asked "what's in it for me" and she said "nothing," is essentially the same as the conversation greg and tom had at the top of the episode, and i am really wondering if tom's refusal to settle that question for greg yet is going to become relevant sometime in the final two episodes, the way that shiv's refusal to settle that question for tom became extremely relevant in the finale of season 3

#i don't typically bother to speculate with this show bc like #they zig when you think they're gonna zag and it always feels so obvious in retrospect and is impossible to see coming in real time #but if i had one (1) prediction for the end of the series....... sporus stabbing nero is probably it #would i bet money on it? no. well. maybe. but like. five bucks for fun #but that's the one thing where both i think it would fucking slap #and as the writers' room is composed of people with similar taste to me regarding what slaps #i feel like we may be on the same page #and also i'm kind of like. ok so if this doesn't happen why is greg even still on this show #to be clear i don't think greg would stab tom out of revenge #i don't think greg would do anything out of revenge which is again why he is better at playing his hands than any of the kids #but if an opportunity opened up........ #also to be clear i'm not complaining about greg still being on the show #if greg is in season 4 to be disguting and hilarious that's fine with me #succession #succession spoilers

Your song posts are very fun! Will you ever share the playlists you talk about?

Thank you!! I spend a lot of time with music, which means I talk about it a lot, so I'm really glad it's entertaining!

Honestly, it hadn't really occurred to me before that I could share any of my playlists themselves--I make them in my media player (foobar) so they're just hosted locally on my laptop. I do have a spotify account, though. I could make playlists there to share. I'd have to decide on an order (mostly I save stuff in alphabetical order and then just play it on shuffle) and figure out names and descriptions (maybe headers?) but it could be a fun project. Would--oh shit can I embed a poll here.

Sometimes I think tumblr updates are always bad and then I remember how for months I couldn't respond to asks at all, and now here I've got a poll in my answer. So fancy!

#asks #anon #thank you for the compliment and for the question! I hope you're still around to see the answer #not that I guess it's much of an answer? truly I am thinking this through as I go. but it could be fun! #unless you mean the CoD playlist I was listening to that had 'Who the Fuck is Alice' on it? I think this ask maybe came in before that #in either case I was already planning on sharing that playlist! I think it's set to come out of the queue on Monday #edit: I was so caught up in the poll euphoria I didn't actually put in a 'no that would be dumb' option so probably I sound very cocky #please tell me to put the polls down if you would prefer I not bother you with more musical speculation #and also I guess let me know if anybody has a better (free) suggestion than spotify? #I do miss 8tracks :/

My idea for a possible storyline for Tekken 8:

Ever since the trailer for TK8 dropped, I've been thinking a lot about where they're going to take the Mishima storyline moving forward. The trailer seems to be setting the stage for a father/son showdown between Jin and Kazuya similar to the one between Heihachi and Kaz in TK7:

We've been told that the clip from the trailer is part of the story mode, but they also made it clear that they didn't want to specify WHEN in the story this takes place. This made me think; what if this fight happens relatively early in the story? Like, in the beginning or middle of the story instead of at the end like in TK7. I personally like this idea as it would be a change from the previous story (also, this way Jin and Kaz can continue their fight in later games, meaning they won't have to kill one or both of them off in this game).

Now, there are many possibilities as to why Jin and Kaz has to put their fight on hold like maybe Heihachi or Jun returning, Claudio intervening or a new big bad appearing.

Personally I've come up with many different ideas as to what I would like to happen, but being a Devil Jin fan, most of my ideas involve him in one way or another. An idea I really like is something like this:

Jin and Kaz have their showdown as seen in the trailer. Jin now uses his devil gene to get more power while he fights, but the more he uses it the less control he has (we could maybe see this in Jin changing his fighting style as the fight progresses). At some point Kazuya then transforms into his true devil form:

This pushes Jin to his limits and he transforms as well. At first he transforms into the devil form that we know from the previous games, but Kaz' true devil form is too strong. At some point Jin realises this and, in a last attempt to take down Kaz, he transforms into his own true devil form:

Disclaimer: I'm maybe the only Tekken fan in the world who actually liked this Devil Jin design, I've always had it as my headcanon for Jin's true devil form. I'm not saying it has to look exactly like this, I just want it to look more inhuman and savage than his normal devil form.

In his ultimate devil form Jin is able to defeat Kaz (not kill him but bring him very close to death). But before he can finish the fight, Jin becomes fully consumed by the devil gene. I don't have it all down to detail but Kaz somehow gets away and now the world faces a new threat: Jin in his ultimate devil form wreacking havoc and causing disaster wherever he goes! In this form Devil Jin would be much more animalistic (like how he acts in Blood Vengeance but much harder to take down).

So in an ironic twist, Kazuya now has to stop Jin to save the him and the world. Maybe he even forms a reluctant alliance with Lee and Lars to stop Jin. That way Kaz gets to be the "hero" again and Jin gets to be "the villain" but this time it's involuntarily (since many fans, myself included, disliked the way they made Jin the villain in TK6, here he gets to be more of a tragic hero who sacrificed his humanity to save the world from evil, only to become an even greater evil himself).

Of course in my ending Jin would be saved and NOT killed and Kaz would probably go back to trying to kill Jin (this is where Lee and Lars could step in and try to stop him).

Idk I just think that this would be a different way to handle the story than having it be a copy of the last game, but still without straying too far from the father/son dispute that's been playing a big role in their games.

Feel free to tell me what you think of this and if you have any ideas that you'd like to see in the story!

#long post #been wanting to make this post for a while but I wanted to make sure I had the time to write it down properly #I've been thinking about possible storylines for TK8 ever since the trailer dropped #I'm 99% sure they won't go this way with the stoy but it's still fun to speculate #I just want Devil Jin to be invluded as more than a power up for Jin #I want him to be his own character #and the more animalistic the better imo #I know most people disliked his design in BV but it's really grown on me over the years #also since Kaz got a new devil form in TK7 I feel like Jin deserves one too #also please let me know what you think of this I really wanna talk TK8 story!! #tekken 8 #tekken #jin kazama #devil jin #kazuya mishima

Extraplaner chamber shackled to a tower 👀👀👀👀 i see you. I see you!! Patiently waiting for the tower revealing. Well not so patiently. I still think it would be cool if Caleb's other book was full of notes on his friends and their likes and dislikes that he implements into the tower. Definitely dont think thats canon but until I know what it is, it's canon in my heart.

#critical role #mighty nein #cr2 #caleb widogast #cr2ep82 #i had originally thought the dome was the predecessor of the tower #but now this seems far more likely #and i know liam was working on it for like a year #and i am in 2019 now #and if the tower is revealed later still #2020 lines up pretty well #that would give caleb time to decipher these notes #and the happy fun ball #hmmmmmm #all speculation on my part though
