#deeply sorry for this gifset

Riz pulling so much weight for everyone and securing votes vs Kristen being the closest to failing out of school thus inadvertently screwing him. plus her inadvertently bringing Kalina back, who as it stands serves as an antagonistic and deeply painful force in Riz's life. there's just something really ripe and tragic about their friendship rn (even moreso if you wanna throw in the meta that the narrative was steered towards Riz running against Kipperlilly) and it's neither of their faults. I feel like I'm watching a disaster in slow motion.

Now I wonder which unpopular couple is under your protection? I suffer from a lack of Kid/Law fic, but maybe things are even worse for you than for me? And the series turned out great if you look at it as an independent story, without comparing it with the manga👍it feels like it was filmed with love, love is in the air
okay so maybe i was being a little overdramatic when i said unpopular ;;;;;;; but then again every pairing kinda is when compared to zosan and lawlu, and keep in mind that i was a teenager when i was really involved in the manga (so we're talking about.. a LONG time ago) and there weren't as many ships around back then
all this to say im officially coming out as a zolu enthusiast ;;;;; i imprinted on them upon their first meeting like a duckling with its mother and they owned my ass ever since IM SORRY I JUST CAN'T HELP IT. i see a dynamic that's based on understanding care reverence respect devotion trust love and my heart immediately goes THAT ONE. WE WANT THAT ONE. and ngl the live action got their relationship down so perfectly it's bringing back the feelings
i haven't finished the show yet but honestly im really enjoying it!!!! it's not perfect and it's a whole different beast than the manga but like you said you can definitely tell it was done with love and respect to the original source and that makes all the difference. also i've truly never seen a more perfect casting in my entire life THEY ALL FIT THEIR CHARACTER SO WELL IT'S INSANE

♡︎ -` mony's christmas' cheers ´- ♡︎
so i decided to compile a list cheering on some of my favorite creators throughout this year, people who have created stuff that left me in awe, or joyful, or whatever sort of emotional art can bring out. just to show some appreciation for these lovely people and highlighting some of my fave pieces of theirs.
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
@gayhoediaz ⟡ ok i might even go bias here and call her my favorite 911 writer. sue me, but nie is that gal. her sense of style captivates me beyond words, it draws me in and her characterization especially hit the spot. she is able to master multiple genres as well, and i doubt i'll ever tire of reading her words. she's just brilliant, and one of the most amazing people i know.
notable work of 2023: still / the dark, the light, and the infinite between / hush of night / eat, praise, love
@zerokinkade ⟡ sweet abigail has a talent for creating gifsets that always leave me nearly stunned. i have to sit back for a few minutes and really look at her creations, take in the gorgeous sight. her blending and her coloring constantly blow me away. i consider myself so lucky to call her a friend.
some faves of 2023: turtleneck hotties / would've could've should've / wide awake / your past and mine are parallel lines
@eddiediaaz ⟡ here we have an immense powerhouse. truly one of the pillars when it comes to 911 edits. alie and her gifs are just so crisp and clear, brightly colored and always a pleasure to look at. and on top of all that talent is a truly kind and awesome person who is a delight to know.
some faves of 2023: kids of 118 / the 5 homoerotic love languages / henren & romance / 118 & iphone screens
@bilosan ⟡ oh where do i start when it comes to dear vic's creations? her gifs are always so smooth which really make the colors pop even more, they are so delightful to gaze upon. she makes it look so goddamn easy and i am always left in complete awe and wonder at what she puts out there.
some faves of 2023: so come stand in my kitchen / buddie & valentine's day / captionless (buddie) / you're losing me
@matlillard ⟡ now look at this silly bean here. riel is someone i had the pleasure of finding this year, and i immediately fell in love with their style of gif making. they aren't afraid to use colors, aren't afraid to make large gifs and my god they're always stunning. he is also just a genuinely nice person, so sweet and funny.
some faves of 2023: they're the same picture (hi i'm bias) / raise your flag / the hardest part is who we are / eddie's jealousy jar
@buck-eddie ⟡ oh man, now let me tell ya, here we have a very special person, actually. max was the first 911 blog i ever started following (and fell in love with her gifs), and she was instantly kind towards me, which is so important when you join another fandom. she made me feel safe and i am beyond thankful for her.
some faves of 2023: buck + tinder profile / 911 x tarot cards / eddie diaz's tragic timeline / 911 + barbie posters
@captain-hen ⟡ remember what i said about pillars? well, i almost dare to make the actual claim that neethu is one of the strongest pillars in our weewoo fandom. her creations are breathtakingly beautiful and creative, i'm so obsessed with her style, and she is making sure that our tag thankfully never seems to dry out.
some faves of 2023: the firefam & the bridezilla call / station 118 x discord profiles / buddie + honeycomb layout / madney + tv tropes
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
quick shoutout to: @llokilaufeyson, @barbiediaz, @jdeanmorgan @ajcrowleys, @clusterbuck, @jddryder, @rainbowcrowley, @maygrantgf, @burnthatbridge
i'm sorry i can't include every creator i know, because you all absolutely deserve it. you are all so fuckin' talented, so amazing and i mean it when i say you keep this site going, the fandoms alive and for that, i deeply thank you. ♡ happy holidays.

True to form I'm a day late but happy 10th anniversary to The Screaming Staircase! (And thank you Linnie for your post which reminded me this is a thing and inspired me to post my own)
Lockwood & Co as a show had been on my radar pretty much since it launched - it must have popped up on my Netflix at some point, and I already had a couple of mutuals posting about it. I saw and liked the gifsets with the spirit of "I don't even go here but this looks cool", finally in March I went "wait, why don't I watch this? There's literally no barrier beyond my own stubbornness" and thank goodness I did.
I still cannot get over how deeply I connected with the show, and the way it taps into everything I'd have loved at 13 or 18 alike and is equally enjoyable now at 25. The unabashed love shown between the Iron Trio is so refreshing and sincere, and it gives me hope for my own place within the group I've chosen as my second family. The world that Jonathan Stroud has constructed is amazing and I would love it wherever it was set, but like my other favourite shows/universe (Morseverse) being so intrinsically linked with Oxford that I can spend days there just wandering between locations I love that Lockwood & Co has a deliberate and well-established base in London. A few months ago I passed through St Pancras alone and was so ecstatic to be sharing in a little of Lucy's journey, and just last week I excitedly pointed out Sidcup on a station departure board when I was down there with my brother.
Of course, I couldn't talk about Lockwood & Co's impact without expressing my eternal gratitude to the show and the fandom for reigniting my creativity. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm further into The Screaming Staircase than I have been in a book for years. I'd been in the most intense artistic slump, having barely done anything creative in months, but then I was able to dedicate a good 10 hours to my Lockwood portrait and close to that on my unfinished George one, which in turn gave me the energy for other projects. In 2020-2022 I published just under 10,000 words of fic across 2 fandoms, plus about 2500 words earlier this year of one I'm still undecided on posting. In the 6 months since I started watching Lockwood & Co, I have written a whopping 46,610 words of published fic, with about 750 words towards some of the 12 requests I have yet to finish (side note: thank you so much to everyone who has been patient with all these unfinished requests, I know it's been months for some but I promise they'll all get finished eventually!) I cannot even begin to fathom that number - that's nearly 50,000 words, written entirely of my own accord, when by comparison my 3 years of essays for my degree probably amounted to a very forced 30,000 words. All that fic I owe to the beautifully characters created by Jonathan Stroud & brought to life by Ruby, Cameron and Ali, but I also couldn't have done it without the overwhelming support of everyone who has read, liked, commented, reblogged and requested. There aren't enough words to tell you all how grateful I am, and this post would be a mile long if I named everyone personally, but I wanted to take the time to thank some of the people who have made my experience so special.
@ettadear @givemea-dam-break @honey-with-tea @ikeasupremacy @marinalor @neewtmas @oblivious-idiot @personinthepalace @reckless-enough-serenade @tangledinlove @wellgoslowly @wordsarelife
If I've missed anyone important I'm so sorry, but I love you all and am so glad to have had this time with you! Happy 10th birthday to The Screaming Staircase and the wonderful fandom it's led to 🫶
Just reckless enough.
Love, Merry ❤️ xx

happy new years eve everyone! here's an overly-personal post of me reflecting on 2023 ✨
have i ever told you guys that i had no idea ofmd was a queer show when i first started watching it? i really didn't know the first thing about it-- i'd never even seen a picture of stede in my life. it took me almost three weeks to veeery gradually get through the first three episodes. i enjoyed them, but only felt like tuning in during dinner on weekends. i've been around fandom spheres for twelve years but i've never been part of a big fandom myself (or of any fandom that wasn't related to video games or, well, anime). certainly didn't think that would change anytime soon. yet suddenly, a mere three weeks before the start of season 2, i heard the words "you wear fine things well" and all the circuits in my brain were reset
2023 had definitely been a suboptimal year for me until then-- devastating natural disasters, personal losses, deep political problems, the uszh. not to mention the terrible injustices and wars happening around the world. i tend to protect myself from negative thoughts and fear by letting hyperfixations consume me (as i'm sure many people can relate) and boy did ofmd do the job! especially with the excitement of s2... i didn't even realize when october came to an end, it just flew by! i excitedly watched every episode as soon as they came out, made some silly posts on this blog that i'd randomly decided to make... yes, the fandom has its fair share of problems, and i see annoying takes in my twitter fyp basically every day, but eh, i've seen (and been in) worse communities. my experience has been lovely! i love all the beautiful fan art, gifsets and meta posts here. people are so passionate, which only makes my passion grow stronger. i really appreciate it.
unsurprisingly, i've consumed basically everything you can possibly consume that features rhys/the new zealand gang (i've become a diehard fotc fan too). sorry for the sudden dark turn but a really close friend of mine tragically passed away the day after my birthday in november. i don't think i would've moved on with my life if it wasn't for the very welcome distraction provided by these series. especially ofmd of course
ofmd isn't just a silly fun comedy show, it isn't just a love story, at least not to me. it's the story of a man who's spent his life feeling lost, left out, left behind, unwanted, unloved, unneeded. a middle-aged gay man stuck in aristocracy who, for some reason, i can deeply relate to as a young queer person stuck in the middle east. it's the story of people like me freely and unapologetically being themselves, fighting to live their lives filled with joy and love, even in less-than-ideal conditions. it's given me a lot of strength and hope when i needed it. i would've had a much worse memory of 2023 in my mind if it hadn't been for ofmd
so yeah. 2023? not a huge fan! glad it's over! but i'm really glad ofmd was part of it!! i'll remember the past four months fondly, i'll keep loving the series for many months to come and i'll hopefully enjoy a third season with other fans. i'm excited! i hope 2024 will be better for everyone
thank you all!!

kevyn tan patient fucking zero it is so funny. has a crush on her in high school she gets in a plane crash and he does not hear from her for 25 years he gets with a whole nother woman has a kid separates from her and then the SECOND nat is back in his life the feelings are instantly back and he is like. okay i'll check out the files on your dead boyfriend's death no problem. and then she steals his gun uses it and yells at him and yes he gets upset but then two days later he's back talking to her without an ounce of anger and with all this understanding like. there is something so. nat lashes out at people when she's scared of losing them like there was that gifset floating around the other day of her doing it with kevyn travis and misty but like the thing is. there are so many characters in the world with this same tendency and so few have the absolute magnetic power of natalie scatorccio like. no matter what happens whether she steals your cop gun or yells at you that she doesn't need you or Whatever it is that she's done or said. the fact that it is natalie means that those afflicted with natalie scatorccio derangement syndrome will continue to come back. i think nat's driving force is love and it drives her fear and all of her most desperate or irrational actions LOVE is her purpose in those woods that she lost outside of them. she was jealous of jackie she wanted to die but she didn't because she loved those girls and she was the hunter and they needed her to hunt if they wanted to live. and outside of those woods all she has is travis who she loves even if it isn't always healthy and it isn't constant. and once the plot starts in the modern timeline her purpose is finding out what happened to travis (who she loved) and then like. there are those same connections with the other yellowjackets coming back into her life. and i think everyone with natalie scatorccio derangement syndrome senses that driving force of love. like despite everything, there are very few lines nat could cross for them that they wouldn't forgive because there are few people who love as hard and as deeply as nat scatorccio and they all want to keep that kind of love in their lives yk? like if it were anyone else taking kevyn's gun he would not have forgiven them like that. but it's nat. and he'll forgive her. they all would. i think there's a sort of quality they all see in nat that i'm not sure nat sees in herself as clearly, that just draws people to her. sorry this may be incoherent honestly i'm not sure if i'm getting to my actual points the way i'm trying to (i just wrote another paper and my brain is a little fried) but. nat scatorccio <3333 -cannibal laura lee anon
YES YES YES i think nat's magnetic pull is that she's such a GENUINE person. we are introduced to her in the pilot as someone who is ~unapologetically herself~ and who "lost purpose after rescue" and the purpose was keeping her team alive. walking for miles in a cold forest to feed her friends. she tells taissa and shauna in the modern timeline that they're just as much of a mess as she is but they just HIDE it. nat doesn't really. and her love means so much and i think while she's obviously got so many issues and she doesn't have healthy relationships and she can lash out (because she had an abusive father and then was traumatized by his death and then was traumatized further after the plane crash. god the sheer amount of trauma she's experienced) she loves people well. and CAN WE blame the natalie derangement syndrome havers for wanting that in their life?

My husband's thoughts on last nights gay po---- sorry no last night's 911 episode:
(these might be jumbled and not at all in order also these are hella approximated quotes from what i remember him saying or doing)
truly thought Buck being able to do math the funniest thing -- he is a dumb Buck truther and lover<3
"Be gay, do crime" -> i mean that basically sums up all of the buddie energy this episode
"WHORE!" @ eddie is that turtle neck. i definitely rubbed off on him with this lol i call eddie a whore almost every day<3
"this is a date????? like if I didn't know better or know this show better, I'd be date night<3" -> he is not wrong. poker date night canon confirmed
we are both deeply confused by the coupon scam and don't understand the logistics of this crime. it is not nearly as clear as scamming your coworkers with your boyfriend's new cognitive abilities
THE LOOKS THAT EDDIE WAS GIVING BUCK ALL NIGHT -> "OKAY THIS IS GAY EDDIE!" i think he actually shouted at the tv lmao i literally showed him a gifset this morning and he just laughed bc it is so obvious that eddie is down bad for buck

Okay, but can we just acknowledge not only the suspence and horror and the hurricane of emotions that was Hen seeing her best friend tortured and almost killed (repeatedly killed?) in front of her and (how she undoubtedly think about it) because of her even, and the aftermath and words between her and Chim... but also how very, very differently it was framed and filmed and acted, and as a result felt like, compared to the (on paper) technically somewhat similar shooting scene with Eddie and Buck, and their aftermath at the hospital, a season back?
Like, how to even articulate that jumbled mess of feelings there, please help :-)
Hi dear Nonnie!
Sorry it took me a moment to answer, I wanted to make a gifset to go along with this, and in addition to rl being difficult, photoshop keeps making my entire computer crash... DX
But yes, absolutely! And the crazy thing is, the Hen & Chim storyline with the kidnapping is a fantastic piece of the power true friendship holds. It’s Chim’s faith in Hen, together with her catching on to how Chim’s trying to use the defibrillator that save countless lives, including their own. There is so much love, trust and mutual understanding there. And it’s still so different to Buddie.
So I didn’t gif the moment of the shooting itself because I think we all have that tattooed onto the back of our eyes by now, right? But it’s complete insanity, that look between Buck and Eddie is so intense, the whole framing so intimate (for a moment there, it’s just the two of them in the world and that’s it, looking at each other desperately, a connection so strong it’s almost physical to the point that even after Eddie collapses, he’s reaching out for Buck). This moment is in fact so intense, it lingers even after it’s over, and Buck is still standing there, just staring at Eddie, and has to be forced by Captain Mehta to duck and take cover. In comparison, as much as Hen is distraught and weeping, desperate for Chim not to be killed, we never get such intense, meaningful eye contact between them. She’s also in full charge of her faculties during the whole time, she’s almost out of her mind with worry for Chim, but she never has even one second of fully losing it. And we know she loves Chim deeply. So that situates what Buck and Eddie have as something else.
We actually do get once again focus on eye contact during the ambulance scene! I just wanna emphasize, as you can see in this gifset I made for a canonically gay movie, that this kind of intense eye contact is often used on screen to convey a deeper connection, falling in love. Buck is trying to keep Eddie alive with everything he has, his eyes are open and wild, his voice pleading for Eddie to stay with him. And Eddie? Hears him out and for a second he’s back, and looking at Buck. Which is when he notices the blood on Buck’s shirt. This man, who is literally dying, now only has one concern and it’s for Buck’s well being. INSANE. Again, Hen and Chim? At no point share anything similar. Yes, Hen is crying and doing all she can for Chim, and if her best friend had been killed, I have no doubt she would have never forgiven herself for it, and it would have haunted her for the rest of her life. But you look at Buck during the shooting or in the ambulance, and you can tell that Eddie is his life. If Buck had lost Eddie, he would have lost his own life, too.
And here I have to point out that the whole structure of the “partner in danger” storyline is different! Because in 517, by the end of the kidnapping and electrocuting scene, Greenway has been paralyzed, with Chim and Hen being safe and sound, though obviously still shaken and emotional as they physically lean on each other (beautiful visual metaphor for their friendship). But in 414, neither when Buck saves Eddie by dragging him out of the shooter’s range, nor in the ambulance do we have that. Buck is still full on frantic as the shooting itself wraps up, signifying that this is just the beginning. What this will really mean for Buck and Eddie is gonna be so much bigger, and it’s still to come.
At the hospital, We have Hen and Chim dealing with recovery together, but at the same time, they’re dealing with it as friends, not romantic partners, which is especially clear when an actual romantic partner runs in. You can tell that Karen is a romantic partner who counts because she gets the dramatic running in, but she also gets to talk to Hen about how she felt with everything that happened and her thoughts on what might have been. In 414, Eddie technically does have a romantic partner, too! Ana is right there! But we never hear how she feels or what she went through as her bf was fighting for his life. She doesn’t get that dramatic “I heard and had to be here by your side right away” running. It’s Buck who does. In fact, the way it’s shot and framed, Ana is literally the obstacle that’s in the way of Buck and Eddie making relieved, happy to be reunited eye contact. YES, Buddie shared intense eye contact once more! Those fuckers are having it more than some canon couples have sex. So it’s Buck who runs to Eddie’s side, it’s their reunion that constitutes an emotional climax, evident in the way that it’s filmed, and it’s Buck who we see getting to have a talk with Eddie (after the phone call to Chris) where he gets to say how he felt and what were his hypothetical scenarios he couldn’t help running in his head...
Then the concluding talk itself! Chim and Hen have a conversation at the end because Hen feels so bad for dragging her best friend into danger. While she’s at it, she reminds him of how much he means to her, while he tells her how much he trusts her, and how there’d never be an option where he didn’t wanna follow her into danger. It’s a beautiful affirmation of their friendship and (platonic) love for each other. It’s emotional, it’s satisfying, and it’s neatly completed. In contrast, Buddie have a talk because Eddie can’t accept that Buck doesn’t see how much he matters. It’s instigated by the shooting and what Buck said following it, but it pertains to something bigger between them. And it’s handled in a way that’s so much more intense. Hen told Chim he’s the best friend she’s ever had. Eddie tells Buck they’re legally family. That Buck’s not just his friend and work partner, but his life partner.
In the last frame of this talk, Hen is sitting on Chim’s bed, holding hands. They’re smiling affectionately at each other. The shot emphasizes their bond by drifting away and showing us strangers passing by in the hall. The final shot of Buddie’s talk has no need of strangers for that. If the camera panned away from Chim and Hen, with Buddie the last two shots are close ups of Eddie’s face as he insists to Buck, “You’re wrong,” and then the parallel of Buck’s face when Eddie turns to him and looks right at him (again, the eye contact! We see only Buck’s side of it, but we can tell that they’re staring intensely at each other) to make sure the message and its full impact have been absorbed. It’s intimate and loaded. So much has been said between them, and implied even more that still hasn’t.
Thank you so much for this ask, I hope you enjoyed my reply and the gifset! Please don’t hesitate to let me know what you thought... xoxox
If you're looking for my ask replies, here is my ask tag! xoxox

fuck it friday (on saturday, because fuck it)
thank you @luredin for the tag!! 💖
this is a snippet from a comedy-ish ted lasso jamie pov fic, about jamie and the team taking extreme measures to confuse and annoy the press when they keep hounding colin after colin's (seemingly spontaneous??? oh dear god???) public coming out in the finale, which is an excuse for me to a) put my own mind at ease by giving colin a happy end after his one big and romantic gesture that would definitely have major consequences for his career and probably life in general, b) write fic with a lot of team-as-himbo-family fluff and many of their chaotic and bouncy conversations, c) smuggle in more slow ot3 realization probably, while jamie, roy and keeley all work together and keep thinking about Queer Stuff, and finally d) write a lot of jan maas nonsense (affectionate) (and also cackling maniacally).
the following is mostly b kickstarted by d:
-
Jan Maas says, in his typical no nonsense but slightly off-beat way, “Did you know that the Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage? The changed law went into effect on April 1st, 2001, which I’ve always thought was an odd choice.”
Bumbercatch nods along. “Because those planes crashed into the Twin Towers that same year?”
“No, bruv,” Isaac says, frowning deeply. Bumbercatch has already been hit over the head with Zoreaux’s sweaty shirt by this point. “Because it was April 1st, and making a lifetime commitment to someone you love is not a joke.” 
Several of the guys are nodding, and Jamie also does a little of that, while Bumbercatch gets a contrite look on his face. “Right, sorry.” 
There’s a long moment of nobody digging any further into this, so Jamie takes it upon himself to ask, “Were you trying to imply that gay marriage in Holland did 9/11?”
“I have an uncle who said that on Facebook once,” Zoreaux says. “Or maybe more than once. I unfriended him after that.”
-
i will tag @redgoldblue @actingcamplibrarian @littlestarsailor @stephmcx @theroseandthebeast and anyone else who reads this and feels like it (that includes you, if you want! tag me in it!) to post a little thing from any kind of wip. it can be a snippet from a fic, gifset, art, or anything else you've been working on - and zero pressure, obviously.

Zorro or Good Omens
For the ask game my dear!
Hello there, my dear old Valley! :)
Sorry it's taken me so long to answer. I *will* answer with a gifset as the "make me choose" game is supposed to be, but that might take even more time because aaaah life. Anyway. So here is why it took me so long:
I actually had to think about that one super hard. It's such a difficult choice to make LOL probably because both shows have characters that resonate quite deeply with me, but regarding different parts of me.
Zorro: I really like the character of Diego, who dedicates his life to help others, is always very considerate and caring and is passionate about trying to make the world a better place. The definition of a Good Guy. I *wish* I had a tenth of his courage and he reminds me to look after others, when it's so easy to get caught up in our own life. So he's someone I understand and look up to.
I guess there's also the struggle to live up to the society's expectations, to his family's expectations, the inability to tell people who he really is. Not that I have a secret identity, but we all, to some degree, wear a mask, hide our true nature and try to live up to people's expectations.
Also the fencing. ;-)
Good Omens: For neither of them you specified which version, but for GO I'll specifically pick the TV show, as I think it resonates a bit more with me. Mostly because it expands Aziraphale and Crowley's characters, and their relationship. As a romantic asexual, I don't often feel represented in fictions. I do get love, I do understand love stories, but I don't get the sex part. Attraction, to me, doesn't translate in wanting to sleep with someone. And given that almost 100% of romances in fiction end in sex, well, there's always a part of those stories that remain foreing. But Aziraphale and Crowley, it's not like that. And I know lots of people do like to add a sex component to the story, but that bit of canon that angels and demons don't have sexual organs (unless they make an effort) is actually important to me. The way I read and feel Aziraphale and Crowley's attraction, it's not physical. They just enjoy each other company. They enjoy that feeling of being together, discussing together, seeing the world different through the other's eyes. They like the world better with the other in it. But they don't sleep together. It's been clearly said that after S1 they carved their own bit of a existence for themselves. They have their phone calls and dates, and Crowley comes to the bookshop, etc... So they *are* in a relationship. It's just not sexual (and I really hope Neil will keep it that way, cause it's important to me)
Also, there's the whole Good vs. Evil, more theological discussion that the show handles really well. I love how it's making fun of all the contradictions of the Bible and the Christian religion. But also how being Good in a complicated world is *hard*. Being Good sometimes requests courage and questioning one's own believes. And standing up to your boss.
And it's hilarious, when it's not heartbreaking. It's silly, in a very absurd British way.
So, there, this is what went all through my head. because of the difference in popularity, I feel like Zorro is more personal. Everyone loves GO. It's all over the internet. There's like a new fic every 20 min or something (actual stats I've seen floating around). So for some reason, it makes me feel depossessed of it. While the Zorro fandom is me and 5 people, 3 of which prefer the 1990 show. But on the other hand, Zorro is an old thing (1919!), and it says a rather "classic" story (he's the spiritual father of all the superheroes, after all), while GO is much more unique and modern. It's an important piece of fiction.

camelotroses reposts others gifs without any credit, just saying cos you recommended them and people are reblogging their reposts
I am immensely sorry!
I am going back now to edit the recommendation post.
I was not aware that it was not original work.
Thank you, Nonnie.
Additionally, Nonnie, you are being very kind with your wording here. And I do appreciate that so, so much, but I do want to make it clear here, just for those in the back:
Reposting someone else works without giving them credit is fucking stealing.
It is especially egregious when it is fandom works. Most of the artwork, fics, gifsets, meta-analyses, etc., that fandom thrives on is very, very hard work that individuals share with us for NO GOOD REASON other than the GOODNESS of their hearts. You don't get paid for a GIF set or a well-written fic. You get flails and love and reblogs from others who are in the fandom; it is often the ONLY feedback that you have that you are not alone.
Creation is deeply personal and can be deeply isolating. Tumblr and the fandom give you a community to share your works and efforts. Every update has a touch of "Here is my brainchild. Will you love him too?" in it.
Stealing someone else's work is kinda of cruel and EXTREMELY frustrating. It often discourages creators to keep working and that is the absolute last thing that I want to see happen. Especially, selfishly, with CS content.
For anyone whose work was stolen from that account and you have seen it reblogged through me or on my blog, I am incredibly sorry. I have unfollowed and am working to clear my blog of any gifsets that I have shared from that user. (If you this has happened to you and you happen to have a post or a link to your original gifset, can you tag me or share it with me? I would like to share the original work. GIF set creators seem to have the least love on this site despite creating most of the content we look for right after an episode airs.)

e6: -having flashbacks of having to defend oscar to my mom for this why does the show try to lean into otmar's perspective so heavily GROSS -nah im full tinhatting i do not remember this whole bit where everyone hypes up oscar in interview before he has his lil chat with mark netflix u slimey lil bitches -oh if i was here when this news broke summer break 2022. i would've been inconsolable. i'm sure it was nuts, ballistic. maybe it was good i wasnt there. idk if i could've handled it akldkfjadslkfjasdkfj -lando saying "i already am (leading the team)" was not that rude it was just the TRUTH sorry -daniel speaking italian is so important actually -"ive been in this sport for 25 years i know what im doing" king that only makes the fumble THAT much more embarrassing COME ON -otmar talking abt how well oscar took all the shit we offered aren't we owed a contract? reminds me of timeshare schemes like actually just u paid for xyz if you dont have a contract in place he doesnt owe u anything maybe do contracts better next time :) -unfortunately zak brown is right!! its a pr disaster is the 5 million worth it!!! and they didnt even get the 5 mil!!! how do lose ur job speedrun masterclass here!! -i do wonder how much netflix inflated daniel's chances for the alpine seat, bc from what i've heard it wasnt really in the conversation. idk i wasnt there but it would make sense for netflix to lean heavily into this narrative -did not realize liam was sitting Right There when pierre was askin abt the gossip aldfjaslkfjaksjdf -the way how in season 1 its like NO DANIEL DON"T LEAVE RED BULL i feel the same way abt pierre going to alpine. like ofc it made perfect sense at the time and you cant fault him for it but like no babygirl its bouta implode PLEASE -rip all the tiktok edits that were muted in the umg purge that paired "good luck to oscar" with "if a man talks shit then i owe him nothing." thank u taylor couldn't have said it better myself -"do you regret anything that's happened?" "um. no :)" U TELL EM BABY
e7: -i'm sorry but geri seemingly getting boiling water from a tap to make tea is so fucking insane rich person cursed -was originally gonna include this funny shot of christian standing looking out a balcony like sharpay evans in high school musical in my s5 gifset but due to recent events i will not :) -i just think. that including this whole bit abt how much checo loves his family in the same episode as the monaco gp where he allegedly cheated on his wife was a CHOICE. interesting. -lewis's monaco 2022 outfit is one of his best outfits ever. its so iconic 2 me -HI ALEX -so many cinematic parallels to discuss. s1 max putting it in the wall in practice and ruining his race to prove he was faster than daniel. known parallels to brocedes ALLEGEDLY trying to sabotage eachother by crashing in that corner in monaco. hmm hmm hmm. much to think -im sorry the sainz collision is just so goofy. i remember watching the replay of this quali and being bamboozled. befuddled. deeply amused. what a stupid fucking sport -'for fucks sa-........okay this is typical monaco isnt it" MAX GETS IT -i honestly dont mind wet monaco races just bc by nature of the track its on average slower therefore less dangerous. i'll take a wet monaco over a wet spa any damn day -ferrari's double pit fuck up is PEAK embarassing ferrari strats. like to do a bad strat is one thing but to just mess up the strat ur trying to do. peak biblically cursed charles leclerc moment

mutuals appreciation! write heart-felt messages to some of your mutuals (or even ones you haven't talked to yet!) and tag them, BUT don't tell them which message is their, let them guess! after you're done, send this to 1 mutual you want to get a message from!
oh god okay this is very nice and sweet in theory KLDSLD but tragically i am perhaps the person with the most anxiety in the world ever and not telling people which message is for who for whatever reason feels like it would probably kill me so i think instead i will write some silly little notes for my mutuals but tag them directly or else i may die KLFCDSL sorry i cannot play the game properly i am not built like that kldskddsfkl but thank u nonetheless!!!! <3<3

Carlos doesn’t resemble dean in the slightest, they’re practically complete opposites. John is the narrative mirror to dean if there was one, with his “I’m not a monster” thing, and with how Danneel and Jackles have unfortunately made a point to say that supernatural was a love story between two brothers at its core and john and Mary are an extension of that. In the Pilot it’s suggested that Carlos uses his sexuality to sabotage Mary’s relationships because he has a crush on her so I definitely think that their plan was to introduce a queer character just to but him in a het love triangle, in recognition of Cas’s popularity in the fandom. And it’s goofy to think Bolo ties are Deans “thing” when he wore one in like one episode and Carlos is Latino. If they wanted him to resemble dean they would be dressing him in flannel and leather… and one last thing. Do you not see the irony in you claiming supernatural is about how suffocating and damaging toxic masculinity is, and immediately following that post with a gifset that suggests Dean being at peace is a bad thing because he thrives on trauma and misery? I hated the finale too but that’s just hypocritical
John is certainly A narrative mirror for Dean, but so is Mary, Carlos, Millie... I wrote briefly about what I think is going on in this narrative here. I'm not interested in arguing about this, because it is obvious to me, and I am armed with a university degree in understanding narrative and a longtime obsession with the writings of Carl Jung, so I am pretty confident about what I see happening in it. You will not sway me, and I do not actually care at all, my anonymous friend who is apparently ashamed to own their own opinions publicly, whether or not you agree, and I feel no compulsion to convince you.
I have heard what the creative team behind TW have said, and you and I interpret those things very differently. Additionally, the idea that heart of Supernatural is the relationship between the brothers is one I really don't think is supported by the text especially not by the end of the show. Maybe it started that way, but it didn't end that way. I think the heart of Supernatural is Dean, and like Cas, we care about everyone and everything else in it because Dean does. I am not feeling any kind of way about Sam. His ending was lame, and his party city wig was stupid. I hate that we never see his wife, and he doesn't get what he wanted, but I am not still thinking about his fate AT ALL. If his story was done, it would be just fine with me. Dean is another story. Dean's story is not done, and Dean is the one that so many people can't let go, and that's because his story cannot end the way it did -- that is a broken narrative.
Again, I don't care if you agree or not.
I'm also not saying Bolo ties are Dean's thing. I am saying that Carlos literally wears the EXACT SAME bolo tie that Dean wore. Not just A bolo tie, THE bolo tie. Like, the same exact same one that Dean wore when he made Cas dress up like a cowboy in Tombstone. Little things like that are conscious choices on a TV show where every little thing on camera was placed there on purpose. Finally, there are lots of other things about Carlos that are very like Dean, in fact, when one looks beyond fashion.
Finally, there is no hypocrisy at all in recognising that the Dean we all know and love on Supernatural DOES thrive on trauma. He swims in a soup of it for every moment that we have known him. Trauma is the air he breathes. He is deeply, deeply traumatised for every moment of his existence. That isn't where I want him at all, I want him HEALED, but it is where is IS. He dies traumatically and then goes to a heaven where he just does more driving. I'm sorry, but that is insufficient peace for Dean. He deserves something much richer, deeper and more compelling, and he deserves to be loved, and to be transformed by letting himself love. But, Dean was not given any room or chance to make any kind of peace with his trauma, or to transform in any way. He just dies violently like he was fated to do, and then gets sent drive boring heaven, trapped in eternal stasis. If that is what you wanted for Dean, that's cool I guess, but I think it's fucking horrific, and I do not agree.
Again, I feel no need to convince you. I am just stating my opinions here, because THIS IS MY BLOG.
Finally, stop messaging me on anon. What the hell is wrong with just owning your fucking opinions? I am answering you in a civilised, perfectly normal and friendly way. What are you afraid of?
