standard edition captured and wounded/tortured stede whump fic but it remembers his pain tolerance, there’s just this whole like
hes off screen getting hurt, you got the screaming you got the shouting, ed spends the entire time in the brig or w/e losing his entire mind about it. and they dump stede back in there and he’s on the floor and ed is having a whole fucking crisis trying to provide some comfort and pet his hair and wake him up
and then after thirty seconds stede just cracks an eye open and goes “im so sorry ed i didn’t have time to give u a secret improv fuckery signal, that must have been awful for u. although honestly i think i oversold that fifth plea for mercy, they really weren’t giving me anything to work with creatively :/”
and yeah he is for real hurt and needs tlc recovery time and maybe lets himself have a lil cathartic cry as a treat once they are safe and alone again bc there’s a fine line to tread between using pain for comedy and pain tolerance as nature vs something he had to learn, and his sort of horribly casual way of rolling w pain and damage to himself once it’s been done and all that
but i do think that “well i didnt care for that and it ruined this shirt which is a real bummer” energy needs more rep in fanworks

if i think too long about how fraggle rock, the muppets, and sesame street are all owned by different companies and their rights are all tied up in corporate bullshit, and how we'll probably never get another thing like muppet family christmas ever again, i get really sad about the state of the world. so i try not to. but sometimes i Do. and i

Mari-lore Comics #10-11: SUCCESS
She's IN!!!
But how will she mesh with the rest of the Up Late With Miss Piggy writing team, really?
Will she foster friendships with her new Muppet coworkers? Romance, even?
And most importantly: will Zoot EVER remember her name??
Stay tuned, dear readers... 👀

-slams my hands down-
In my spidersona AU Bruce gives up his title of Batman when he hits old age and can no longer be Batman. He gives it up to a troubled teen and college student in Neo Gotham named Terry Mcginnis. Terry has no connections to Bruce other than helping him out and inadvertently discovering the Batcave in the process while rummaging around his cottage home for something to help the poor old man.
Bruce saw promise in Terry and his selfless act of helping him out despite how he had initially treated Bruce upon their encounter. He needed someone to take the mantle from him as he had gotten too old, and his adopted children had all gone off on their own and gotten too old or had settled down as well, they weren't available to be the new Batman that Gotham still needed.
Sure, Bruce has let the cape and cowl pass on to one of his sons temporarily over the years when Bruce was unable to work.. but that's all it was. Temporary. His sons would give the costume back to him and leave back to their own lives, or go back to being his Robin sidekick.. But Terry? Terry was different. Very different, from his children and from himself.
Terry got Bruce's newest iteration of the suit and Bruce finally was able to retire and live out the rest of his life in relative peace.. albeit, still offering his guidance to Terry for as long as needed until Terry starts to build up his own team. Bruce couldn't be prouder to see his legacy carrying on in a new generation. He even offers to donate some money to help Terry and his family as a form of extra thanks.
With Bruce's help, Terry also learns to control his more rebellious and aggressive side. Learning how to not be blinded by his emotions and forget his compassion. Bruce knows Terry is capable, he was born and raised in Neo Gotham, knows how to get around the city and knowing more of the current culture than Bruce ever could. He may be experienced in his old age, but his experience is outdated.. much like his own rogues gallery.
As Terry trains and gains experience as the new Batman, growing his own team to help protect Neo Gotham, so does his own unique and personal rogues gallery.
The Batman name lives on, beyond the Wayne blood.

There are places where I think a sex scene can dramatically impact a story in a way that enriched the viewing experience and conveys important information. There are movies and/or tv shows in which this happens. I haven’t seen any of them. So much of the time it’s there to do exactly what it says on the tin. A woman and a man are banging. Sure. Fine. Happy for them. It’s just a literal scene used to pull a bit of a ‘well you didn’t think THEY would be involved’ plot twist or a ‘we’re so edgy’ signal. The only show so far that I’ve seen that uses sex scenes as an actual tool of storytelling is Black Sails, and the reason it works in Black Sails is that the sex is Bad. People are bored. People are distracted. The characters are so bound up with the plot that it’s physically prevented them from fucking like normal human beings. That works. The rest doesn’t
