it's crazy to me that angsty broody danny™ is as popular as it is in fanon when it's like first off have you even MET danny and secondly SAM EBONY DARK'NESS DEMENTIA RAVEN WAY MANSON IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE OUT OF ANYONE IN THE TRIO SHE'S THE ONE WHO'S GONNA ACT LIKE THAT OK I NEED MORE OF Y'ALL TO REALIZE THIS

What if stick!Alan gains powers at some point? He’s fidgeting with a random item and accidentally resizes it somehow, and he just silently stares at it wondering how that just happened and what it means

god that'd be funny. SC is so excited because HOLY FUCK THAT'S SO COOL!!!!! and alan is just unsure if he should be worried about this ability or not. i think it'd be fun if he could do similar things to what agent does with his array of tools as well. plus like. that'd be hella interesting when vic comes around

#tommy's foolery #tommy's stickmen tag #i don't know why. but i feel like vic would get like. extra unethical upon discovering this. maybe trying to take those powers for themself #because alan sure as hell doesn't deserve them. right? all they know is he'd probably use them to torment others #(meanwhile like. jump cut to the others asking alan to spin them because they're curious what it'd be like) #(yes they do immediately get sick. yes he tried to warm him. no they did not listen.) #tommy's stick!alan #chosen is slightly concerned about it but then finds out about those shenanigans and is like. 'ok yeah it'll be fine' #i know chosen probably already knew after 4 years with c!alan that he's just a nervous wreck #but honestly i would not be surprised if he frequently ends up blowing their expectations out of the water on how much of a wreck he is #tommy's aus

Isaac needs new friends after s2 honestly

#shimmer's thoughts #heartstopper #isaac henderson #i feel like they were so weird to him all season #he’s always been super irrelevant in the friend group but they seemed to like/care about him at least #but then he had that outburst and no one apologized or at least asked if he was ok? really? #that one scene just irks me. maybe it'll get resolved in s3 but i also don't think he should have to come out to get an apology #or for them to ask if he's ok since they probably don't realize they did something wrong #i know it's proving a narrative point and the show probably doesn't have time to put that convo in but damn #he and James should both ditch their friends they don’t like that much and become besties #it’d be worth him leaving the show if he got to make friends who valued his friendship a little more #esp since he's aroace and less likely to have relationships other than friendships

Love VS submission, control and freedom/going wild

#iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #always sunny #macdennis #macden #analysis #meta #this script whispering will not click as easily i feel like. i still feel like im piecing it together myself #it's a double point. let me explain however i can. #dennis has always been the man on top. the man with the most control. he doesn't want this. he wants mac to fight back #while for mac the appeal is the exact opposite. he likes the idea of submissing another man. taking control #by establishing mac as the subservient one and dennis as the one in control. but them both desiring the exact opposite #when the roles get flipped between them (by love!) you got to watch the process. you know. girls gone wild #dennis losing control and mac taking it. but especially the first... because actually. hes wanted to for a long time #the chop thing is that. like. him going to ND was his attempt to get that feeling he craves somewhere else #because mac wasn't understanding what dennis was going for!!!!! he wants mac to fight back. he provokes him constantly #he wants that old vinegar to boil again #hewants mac to say no. he wants mac to not want it. he wants mac to take it. he doesnt want to admit he wants it. am i painting the picture #it's never gonna ''happen willingly'' but it'll happen when it looks like they both want it the least. during a fight perhaps #theyre complex ok nobody said this would be easy #parallels

yknow one thing it did make me feel is a lot better abt how i write chuuya. like at least I'm trying to give him nuance yknow?

#said fic I'm reading is kind of a similar premise to mine. in a way #and i def mentioned before i feel uncertain abt how to write him bc i have a hard time grasping him #but. i think i went abt it in a good way. a ''yes he's in the mafia but he's also still. like. a person who does normal things - #- and interacts with other people. he's not purely evil or fucked up. but he's not entirely normal or good at being normal either. - #- he tries and he fails in the little things but it's ok bc his partner is even less normal than him so he doesn't know any better'' #way. you know. i really hope it'll be clear through the text tho lol #sorry for saying yknow so much. i have no excuse

The fact that Ja’Marr is main source and it’s based on THEIR nod they always do 😅 They’re not beating the married couple speculations

hahaha they really aren't 🙂

#i haven't watched the interviews yet #but it is sweet that ja'marr is the main authority on joe (besides zac) #ja'marr out here being strong for joe - talking about how strong joe is #'the nod they always give each other' #:') #like even if ja'marr doesn't really think joe will be ok - like if he's worried and panicking #he knows joe would want him to tell everyone it'll be okay and to keep everyone calm #it's nice #i hope he goes over to joe's house tonight and brings him soup #(i say as if joe doesn't fully have a live-in gf already)

giggling and kicking my feet while i'm lying on my bed like a cliche teenage girl bc bruce's assistant just sent me high-quality recordings of both shows where bruce announced the buddy cole documentary at the rivoli

#first one has paul bellini and kevin mcdonald on stage with him! doesn't mention me by name but i'm just out here like KEVIN!!!! #second one is basically the same as what i already posted but better quality bc that one was just my friend in the audience #and in addition to the higher video quality you can hear scott quietly say some stuff on this version #and it's ridiculous how even tho i'd be confident saying scott and i are friends at this point #(we've talked to each other many times. he clearly likes me. i'm even going to email him later today) #i still watch stuff like this and go oh my god scott thompson knows i exist??? #like you think i'd be over it bc i can turn off the part of me that's starstruck and just be a nice mix of casual and professional #but in my heart i'm still like oh my god this time last year i was sitting in this exact same spot in my room #listening to the exact same song (me on my off hours by mouth congress) #and one year ago i would've been like ''ugh i wish these guys could be my queer comedy mentors but that'll never happen'' #vs this year i'm like ok gotta go be a nerd on tumblr then send some emails to coordinate my next trip to toronto to work on the buddy doc #and next year? who knows! #i'll have done a bunch of work on the buddy doc by then (idk if it'll be fully done but it'll probably be close) #and i'll be preparing for my final semester of college before i can permanently move to toronto in spring 2025

no bc i always see videos that are like "info leaked by saesangs" and like. why are people so concerned with jungkook not being that innocent or taehyung vaping. like these are fully grown men, and just bc of this or that, it doesn't erase their personalities or the greatness they do or have done. in tae's case i understand being worried about his health, but if it's what he chose then what can we do. and in kookie's case, C'mon. he only pretends to be innocent and cute bc armies like that, it's the fanservice. i believe he can be cute while being away from the cameras, but what if he fucks a bit. gets a little bit of pussy. he's 25 let that man have a sexual life

#(saesangs are idol stalkers) #like. i have an uncle who smokes and he's still a great guy to be around #he even asks us to leave when he's about to smoke bc he's worried about us #like if taehyung doesn't smoke around non-smoking people and throws away the cigarrete in the right places #then Why Should I Worry #(also he doesn't even smoke it's vape right kfkfkfk) #yeah he's young yeah it'll damage his lungs and voice but again What Can We Do #the only people that could help him are his family and bts. maybe his managera #*managers. but these addiction things only work when the person themself want to stop #and it seems that. it isn't his case #why should we hate a man when he isn't hurting anyone but him. ''oh but he can't sing anymore'' stfu he's been singing for almost 10 years #even if i go on this ramble about tae. i'm still more mad about jungkook #OK HE FUCKS EVERY NIGHT WHAT ABOUT IT. HE'S STILL A GREAT DUDE #again if he isn't harming anyone and is using condoms and not negligecting any kids he helped make #Why Should Be Our Problem. let that man be cute and get pussy

What would you think, if, after getting advice from Iroh, Zuko and the gang travel to the spirit world in order to find Aang’s people so that Aang can teach the air acolytes more about the air nomads? But Zuko gets attacked by a poisonous spirit and reverts back to pre Season 2 Zuko after losing some of his memories due to the poison fogging his mind. Zuko is confused and doesn’t know why he’s firelord. The gang try to explain things to him, but it only causes him to become even more confused. Aang and the gang then leave Zuko behind to spend more time with the air acolytes. While they’re gone, Zuko is very uncertain about what to do, but soon corrupt advisors convince him to restart the war. Zuko doesn’t remember his friendship with Aang, but he hears that he once joined Aang, so Zuko assumes that Aang once brainwashed him into joining team Avatar and turning against his Father. Zuko intends to be a much greater firelord than his father, and he and his army raid the air acolyte settlement in their airships in order to hunt down Aang once again, and end up burning down the settlement. Aang and the gang wonder why Zuko chose to hunt them down again. Aang eventually comes to the conclusion that Zuko backslid due to bad advice from his advisors and because he lost some of his memories. Aang then travels the nations looking for a cure to help restore Zuko’s memories.  

Azula escapes from the mental institute and Zuko sends bounty hunters after her to capture her. Soon, Azula gets bitten by a snake, so she finds help in the village of Jang Hui where she is healed by two waterbenders, who are taking refuge there. Jang Hui is the village Katara helped in The Painted Lady. And the villagers aren’t on good terms with the firelord. The villagers accept her and assume that she’s on their side because she’s made an enemy of the Firelord. The villagers teach Azula how to heal people using firebending techniques inspired by water bending, and she ends up becoming a fisherwoman because it’s a fishing town. She starts to warm up to the town, but one day she overhears the waterbenders talking about sneaking out to sabotage the smelting factory(which is currently undergoing reconstruction) in order to help the villagers. Azula offers to join their mission, and the three sneak out to destroy the factory, but she betrays the waterbenders over to the fire nation in hopes that she might bring glory to the fire nation. But now that the waterbenders are captured and eliminated, the town is defenseless. Zuko’s army burns the town down leaving few survivors. Zuko didn’t exactly authorize the attack, but he did give his generals permission to do whatever it takes to stop the villagers from trying to halt the rebuilding of the factory used for the war effort. A few survive and declare revenge on Azula for what she did.  

Azula starts to feel terrible about betraying the people who saved her life and indirectly causing the village to be destroyed, since she didn’t know it would be destroyed. And she holds Zuko partially responsible for destroying the village. After wandering around, Azula looks through a telescope and sees Aang try to save a fire nation village from a volcano, and she also sees Zuko. Zuko does nothing after his corrupt advisors tell him to leave the village, saying that Aang will probably die, so Zuko runs away. But Aang manages to save the village from the erupting volcano. Azula gets accepted into the gang when she uses her new healing abilities to heal Aang, who is wounded by the volcano. They reluctantly team up to stop Zuko.

After wandering around the Earth Kingdom to look for a cure for Zuko's memory loss, the gang sees a massive stream of fire pour down from a few fire nation airships hovering above a village. The stream of fire burns the village to the ground, leaving few survivors. It turns out that fire nation scientists developed a highly addictive serum that can increase the fire power of any fire Bender. The downside is that prolonged use of the serum results in loss of the senses, and eventually death. Senses such as taste, smell, sight, touch, and hearing. Zuko intends take the serum and lead a fleet of airships to finish what his Dad started by burning the Earth Kingdom to the ground. After learning what Zuko intends to do, even Aang feels tempted to give up on him.

it's an interesting concept, but i have a few critiques.

first, if the gaang knows zuko lost his memory, why would they leave him in the first place? and even if they did that, surely there'd be somebody in the palace who could say "hey firelord zuko maybe don't restart the war dude wtf" or at least alert the gaang or something.

second, i've seen a lot of people try to have azula's redemption involve learning some kind of healing, and i gotta say, it very very rarely does anything for me. for starters, it (probably unintentionally) reinforces the northern water tribe's ideology that healing is inherently for women (the show admittedly also did this bc the only named male waterbender who uses any kind of healing in any canon that i'm aware of is unalaq). moreover, it's not something i think azula would be particularly good at or have much interest in.

also, why are there waterbenders in jang hui? it's a fire nation village. you said they were taking refuge, but from what, and why there? on top of that, azula knows zuko is firelord and doesn't know he's lost his memories, so why would she assume betraying the waterbenders to the fire nation would bring it glory? if she just broke out of the asylum, then the last time she saw zuko was when he and katara fought her during the agni kai.

third, if zuko lost his memory to a "poisonous" (???) spirit in the spirit world, why are they searching the earth kingdom for a cure? shouldn't they be looking in the spirit world? aang's the avatar, and iroh's gotten in before, so it shouldn't be the hardest thing in the world.

fourth, if zuko lost all his memories of books 2 and 3, he shouldn't know about ozai's plan to burn everything to the ground, since that wasn't established until after he returned to the fire nation with azula, mai, and ty lee.

finally, even before book 1 began, zuko was deeply loyal to his people, balking at the mere idea of sacrificing newbie soldiers for the sake of a win, so i can't fathom a world where zuko is ok with burning down jang hui (a fire nation village) just cuz.

i'm not trying to say there's no potential here, you have some very interesting ideas, but there's a lot that doesn't really work for me.

(to be fair tho i'm not a huge fan of anything involving much of the air acolytes bc i frankly could not give less of a fuck about them. i don't hate them or anything they just don't mean anything to me)

#atla #it's an interesting concept #but honestly as described here it's more confusing than anything else #also the whole premise relies on the idea that zuko blindly listens to what people tell him to do #which is something he's never once managed ever in his life #also the whole ''let's burn everything to the ground'' was something zuko wasn't remotely ok with #bc unlike azula he hasn't been raised to believe that the right thing to say is whatever makes dad proud of you #he HAS been raised to believe that paternal love has to be earned through blood sweat and tears #but if he knew ozai was in prison then obviously the best way to get his favor would be to let him out and reinstate him as firelord #which would be. very confusing to ozai #imagine just sitting in prison and then your son storms in and tells you he's freed himself of brainwashing and you can be in charge again #then imagine having to explain that the avatar can take away bending now but you'd be happy to help him rule from the shadows #since clearly your daughter wasn't of any use #...actually i think you have the start of a really good toxic father-son bonding experience that absolutely nobody wanted #having said that my biggest piece of advice is to cut the serum idea entirely #it makes no sense in the established atla world #they haven't even got antibiotics over there yet #it'll be awhile before they're inventing super soldier serums to create captain fire nation or whatever #also i'm curious what advice iroh gave that prompted all of this #aang doesn't need to go into the spirit world he has all the previous air avatars on psychic speed dial #oh and why would jang hui hate zuko? #katara definitely would've pushed him to send them help #also they apparently became famous for their seafood after the war #so zuko would probably be pretty well liked by them #again it isn't a bad idea it just needs a lot of workshopping #bc right now it raises way more questions than it seems intent on answering
