#2020 plague

[khathastrophe]

the things we lost in GMMTV sacrificing plot relevant relationships so that OffGun can be the only gay ship Gun has

#corporate greed did #toddblack #and #GramBlack #tragedy of 2020 #also all of #midnight museum #not me the series #gmmtv #offgun #I do fully believe the reason we didn't get any of these ship is because gmmtv has some sort of rule that Off is Gun's only man pairing #cause they are avoiding it like plague

A kind of battle ready slice of the Arderus crew I absently mindedly doodled while waiting around for stuff. It came out pretty nice?? so felt like sharing!

#I'm sososo busy so even though I'd enjoy coloring this doodle probably wont happen for a while considering my Commission and RG grind!! #my art #doodles #dnd #moslildian #I feel like my humanoid stuff is coming along! especially considering I avoided drawing it like the plague until like 2020 or so. #practice even if it's fast whatever works it turns out hah

Redesigned my old DnD character, Dr. Poe Lavender, for a Pathfinder game. He's a very secretive travelling doctor and alchemist.

"why is kip sabian wrestling orange cassidy again they do it too many times"

this is the fifth match in over a year. you think thats too much? just admit you hate good chemistry and love and shut the fuck up

#this is why i dont read twitter ive made a mistake ough #just. this is just a bad take? its not even one on one on friday it hasnt been since the botb title match. over a year ago #and pre injury stuff shouldnt count yes that feud was a little bloated but that was 2020 to 2021 and plagued with injuries #i think we can forgive that you know #but like. saying 'they are wrestling too many times' is like? do you even watch the product? #so everyone else can have a long term story and multiple matches but not these two who genuinely work amazing together in the ring?? #im sorry im mad its just. im finally getting something after literally months and people complain and say its 'too much' #fuck you #wrestling musing #the dislike and hatred wrestling fans have for kip is just mind boggling to me like. i dont understand #whats fucking wrong with you #counted my matches wrong also but only if you count the battle royale as one. i guess you do since it had the cuddle moments but yeah #five is still a single digit and one handed number. too many my fucking ass

Cecil Baldwin posts thirst traps but he also posts horny comments on my friend's thirst traps and he only met him once after a wtnv show and they didn't even hook up. He is shameless and we love that for him xx

i love that for him

#original #in 2020 they announced it would be his final live tour so i snatched up tickets immediately #but then a plague happened so i didn't get to go until 2022 BUT IT WAS GREAT #seeing him live is just so good #i saw him in the thrilling adventure crossover show at sdcc also #but he looked like he was having so much fun at the 2022 show

[ronon-dex]

really not sure how I feel about the ending to travelers, or the show as a whole. it has such a fascinating concept and builds an incredibly rich world off of that, but there are so many pitfalls to how it's constructed. I've never seen such a rollercoaster of quality that's SO rapid. i'm talking 10 to 1 in the space of a minute and back again, over three entire seasons. insane. LONG POST INCOMING

good stuff:

the direction is amazing. visually, the show is beautiful, and sets up shots that are consistently creative and designed to depict the emotion the scene is supposed to evoke, which I've never seen done so artistically. we'll see half of marcy's face when she's lying. we'll see kathryn filtered through soft light when maclaren looks at her. blood and sunlight is shown in stark contrast. action scenes have moments of intense stillness in the middle, which make the violence so much more shocking. philip's addictive eye-drop medication is always shown dripping down his face like tears. standout eps for stuff like this are '17 Minutes', and 'Protocol 3'.

fairly anti-copaganda for the most part. it's rare to see.

the acting is wonderful. jared abrahamson (trevor), reilly dolman (philip) and jennifer spence (grace) especially blew me away. trevor's dual energy of sprightly teenager and wise old man had to be very difficult to get right, but it was done perfectly. when he stares down his host's abuser in 'Update' his eyes were nearly black; you could imagine a 400 year old man and the rage he must have accumulated through centuries of hardened existence. philip was a character who wasn't allowed to live up to his potential, and I will be repeating this, but the scenes he had were devoured. he had an addiction to multiple substances, he was mostly ignored by his team despite being the most crucial member, and he had not a single friend outside of his fellow travelers. the agony of all of this was portrayed to perfection. grace fulfilled a role that is normally given to a paunchy white guy, an annoying genius who gets away with inappropriate behaviour because they're clever. [the rodney mckay effect, one of many stargate echoes in this show, thank you brad wright.] she was absolutely hilarious and brought light to a very grim show at times.

the traveler missions were excellent. the pacing in these scenes was great, the plots were generally airtight, and the awareness of the audience's intelligence was thrilling to witness. i figured out mysteries exactly when I was supposed to, a few minutes before the fallout - so you see how the dominoes will fall, and you see how nobody could have caught them. SO on theme for this show. the one moment that did catch me off guard was maclaren's birthday party in s1. oh my god I was so mad at the gotcha jumpscare, it annoyed the hell out of me lmao

bad stuff:

my main gripe. this show is called travelers. this show spends only about 50% of its runtime with solely travelers. the rest of the time is spent with david (marcy's boyfriend who doesn't know she is from the future and possessing the real marcy's body), kathryn (who also doesn't know her husband, maclaren, is not her husband) and jeff (an abusive alcoholic who consistently tries to beat up his ex girlfriend, who is also now a traveler.) these people completely take over the show. they have multi-season arcs and entire episodes revolving around their problems with marcy/maclaren/carly, often domestic. attempts to give philip and trevor stories outside traveler missions are abandoned sometime around s2. when these civilian characters were abducted together in s2 I literally started calling them the Avengers of Being Annoying. I've said it before but imagine how awful the show leverage would've been if 20 minutes out of every episode sophie, nate and eliot left to talk to their individual spouses about their relationship problems.

there wasn't even a serious confrontation about the consent issues surrounding the takeover of someone's life - especially assuming a sexual or emotional relationship with that person's loved ones. like that should have been a huge ethical dilemma removed from simply possessing a previously dying body. like why are you now fucking your host's wife like it's ok??? you're not him and she doesn't know you????

it was grim. it was also very clear that david was a favourite, some writer had a crush on marcy's actress, and some other writer was apologising to his wife through the maclaren/kathryn storyline. or maybe I'm just a hater. idk

this show had an amazingly compelling narrative, but it sacrificed a great deal when it comes to character stories. these characters were established very well, and built up over season 1 to have great depth and rich histories... and then we never explored most of it. we don't know the original genders of philip, maclaren or marcy. we don't know about the families of philip or maclaren. we don't know if the main 5 knew each other well or just trained before coming to the past. the future is almost a complete mystery and that was what made it cool in season 1; by the finale? fucking annoying.

these characters' most emotional moments and deepest relationships happened with the 21st century people they emotionally abducted. idk why. maclaren had no reason to stay with his host's wife. trevor could have freed himself from high school sooner. carly (with philip's help) could have gotten rid of jeff very quickly. I don't know why they insisted on this aspect of the show when the main cast were so underdeveloped and remained so for 3 seasons. this, more than anything, made the finale seem very hollow. the main 5 were coworkers, and apart from philip, and occasionally trevor, marcy and carly, they weren't that invested in each other's wellbeing outside of their efficiency as agents. this was not the found family I signed up for.

basically:

7/10 show for me. very visually gorgeous, as mentioned, and besides the kathryn and david of it all, very tightly written. thanks for saving the world, I suppose. I'm going to go look at the sky.

#travelers netflix #netflix travelers #philip pearson #trevor holden #grant maclaren #marcy warton #carly shannon #traveler 3468 if I ever see you it's on sight. you should have stayed with carly. it's insane that you didn't #philip was originally a 50 year old lesbian. to me. marcy was a 37 year old bi man. #maclaren was originally a straight guy but he was also 25. this explains a lot when you think about it. THINK about it #the fact that they never explored the mess that would come from changing genders or having a sexuality that does not align with your host's #utterly tedious. white man writer's syndrome. they can't imagine the world not catering to them. #the way philip talks about his host 'this young man'............. like........... #i know the number sequence makes it so marcy's the youngest but i need it to be maclaren. he is very much a little shit #imagine exploring the differences between yours and your host's bodies.......... hall could've been an 18 year old girl. #boyd could've been a 45 year old man with a wife and kids. WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING COOL WITH THAT. #imagine marcy and david's relationship but marcy tells him she's a gay guy from the future. a conversation for the ages. and we missed that #going to travel to the past and tell brad wright to do this or there will be a plague outbreak in 2020. back in a sec #(meant to say this show REEKED of stargate universe. even the close up shots like I WAS THERE. I WAS IN THE TRENCHES)

Fic throwback thursday

Fanfic writers: if there’s an old story of yours that never made it to tumblr, or got buried, or just hasn’t gotten much attention in a while, consider this an invitation to promote it! I would love to see my dash filled with fic recs I missed the first time around. You wrote the words, and you should be proud of them no matter how much time has passed. Add this note to your post, and let’s see how many writers we can get to self-promote!

I did one of these a while ago, and had a lot of fun seeing other people’s old fic recs, so here’s another one!

These Little Ones

Summary:

Some retellings of biblical stories, wherein Aziraphale and Crowley are fond of children and softer than their jobs allow them to be.

#good omens fanfic #cyankelpie's fic #fic throwback thursday #throwback to both 2020 and to biblical times #featuring #the first-ever childbirth #the Great Flood #Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac #Aziraphale awkwardly trying to rationalize after stopping Abraham from sacrificing Isaac #the ten plagues #mainly just one of them #King 'I'm gonna cut this baby in half' Solomon #Dagon not understanding human developmental stages #Crowley accidentally delivering the messiah (not in a basket) #there's a lot of weird stuff happening in the bible I just stuck Aziraphale and Crowley nearby

no one asked, but the reason all of my ocs are either healers or very knowledgeable about poisons and/or disease (or both!) is because it all relates to my special interest of All Time

#ophelia.txt #ocs tag #ophelia deep lore time: my special interest is death overall but that started as a fixation on infectious disease and medicine when i #was very little. especially from a historical & social perspective rather than scientific one BUT the science behind it also interests me #this interest then expanded into funerary rites/mortuary practices and decay in general. then to poisonous plants and herbal cures and just #from there death and medicine as a whole bc death and healing are inextricable from one another and u only need to give the most cursory #glance to human history to see my point. anyway back to my ocs #i try very hard to make my ocs unique and very different from one another but this is one thread of commonality they always have and always #will have with one another !! cultural & social interaction with death and everything related to it is so interesting to me so i can't Not #incorporate it into my characters somehow. even if it's a -2 to originality every time ! idc i'm having fun #if u read this entire ramble thank u for indulging me <3 i love death i love rot i love decay i love the human response to death and i LOVE #infectious disease and medicine!!!! i predicted a 2020s plague on a maths assignment in 2016!!!!!!!!!

I'll probably be cleaning out my ask box #I'm not really good for a whole lot else at the moment #lmao #ughhh this sucks
