#does he know his brother is missing?

[ninja-yogurt]

Every episode of the new quantum leap, regardless of my other takeaways, I end up getting mad that Sam's family is missing from the story and that Ziggy has been reduced to a personalityless tool

#hashtag where is Tom #quantum leap #not really spoilers or criticism #i just want to know if Tom is alive? #does he know his brother is missing? #does Katie? #where's DONNA??? #like #the fact that they're honoring Al so much is great and the fact that they're respecting Scott bakulas decision to stay away from the reboot #is fine with me #i have some concerns about like why they decided to claim that the point of the new project is to retrieve Sam when that's Scott's stance #and also about like what might be going on behind the scenes for that to be Scott's stance because from what I've seen #it seems like he really loved the show and pretty recently would have been thrilled to appear on it #but they've made their decisions and now a huge plot point is the characters having a goal of finding Sam #so like where is literally everyone from the original project then? where's Sam's family? why is the main tie to the original cast #characters who are friends with a character whose much beloved actor is dead and literally cannot appear onscreen again? #who murdered ziggy and why was it gooshie in a fit of rage

the irony of cesare slutshaming juan for sleeping in brothels had me with tears in my eyes considering his very first scene in the show is him rawdogging a prostitute like his life depended on it...like babygirl we see you!!!

#like they're such whores i'm screaming!! but also so on brand when you think of it. since the real ones both were fucking sancia byeee #i believe the scene where cesare fucks that girl is just a glimpse of the show adapting the Real cesare's General Manwhorishness™ though! #if you're the borgia family enthusiast you already know that cesare has sired 7 illegitimate kids because of his romantic exploits lmao #cesare borgia i love your hypocritical ass fr like yessss #also love their rivalry so much because there's cesare who always wanna one-up juan in every aspect and be seen as the serious and driven #which is true about the hypercompetent and ambitious part!! but he fulfills his duty in the family in ways that are not conventional #meanwhile with juan...he fully embraces his hedonism and isn't ashamed of it. while he's aware that cesare outdo him in everything... #the only thing he has over cesare is his position as a gonfaloniere!! so he winds cesare up with flexing it!!! #the difference is cesare is as much as he hollers about doing everything for the family...he pretty much does it mostly for selfish reasons #his desperation for juan's position and rodrigo's attention made him sabotage the family more than persevering it etc #while juan is genuine but is reckless and incompetent but he Really tries yk? he really does! but he spiraled bc he feels weak and insecure #oh well both brothers are idiots in their own ways #i miss them fr #cesare borgia #juan borgia #the borgias #juan and cesare #text post

What happens when your coworker kills your other coworker but both of you are in a relationship (kind of) with the same ethereal woman who had an admiration for said dead coworker.

+bonus Evandrey because it’s funny to me (I’m sorry Eva.)

#pathologic #pathologic 2 #andrey stamatin #yulia lyuricheva #eva yan #evandrey #yulieva #evaandrey #Eva yahn #Andrei Stamatin #see I think that Eva is very okay with Eva being how she is- promiscuous and spreading her love (Maybe a little jealous but more rooted in #self loathing and insecurities) #and she’s like look I’m okay with this whole open relationship (technically we aren’t in a relationship even though I really want to be) #thing BUT why HIM. I have to work with him and he’s by far the worst man I’ve ever worked with (besides maybe his brother because at least #Andrey actually talks but really they’re a package deal anyways) I need to have meetings with him often and it’s horrendous every time #like spread your love it’s noble really. #I wouldn’t expect anything else from you #but maybe give him less he’s annoying as hell #I also think that she’d figure out pretty quickly that Andrey and Peter killed Farkhad #just bcuz like. yk she’s there. she’s seen the already shaky relationship crumble beyond repair. she’s seen them argue in meetings. #she knows the stamatwins are not above murder. especially for art. and she’s clever. #And andrey knows that so he doesn’t try to hide it. she doesn’t have recourse anyways- #the kains (who I think helped cover up the murder) employ her too #and andrey respects her to a degree- he assumes she’ll see reason. #and honesty. Yulia might be upset that Andrey killed one of the only other architects but also she does not miss him that much. #she’s like I don’t agree with this whole murder thing but you are kind of right he had to go he was getting on my nerves #the meetings will be 10x more tolerable now that the twins can’t argue with him about things that aren’t even real #it’s awful but it did drive Eva further into my arms so necessary evils. #my art #sorry for the essay in the tags.

When you backread through a fun conversation you had with someone for hours an angel gets its wings

#I was talking to my brother about Norman doors and I had fun in my UX class and he was telling me about demon cores and the trolley problem #in his class. AND I remembered to take my meds today so I can feel every cell in my body. i can feel the neurons rubbing together #and yesterday I infodumped about the specialists bullseye chart to crow and how it ties with witch hat atelier #WHICH I MANAGED TOGET THEM TK READ IM SO HAPPY. I MAKE SQUEALING GUINEA PIG NOISES EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME WHAT THEYVE READ SO FAR. AHH #i might not even be scratching the surface with witch hat there are so many themes i could not possibly fathom or go over my heasd #and thats what makes it so exciting there are so many spaces in between that you can fill with your thoughts and i. i #waves my hands around manically #for anyone interested in my insane ramblings. the bullseye chart is from are we all scientific experts now by harry collins #in my own words its basically saying everything we know about anything is a game of broken telephone #and it discusses how information gets lost in translation between experts and laymen including things that arent in control #one of the main points was how things that happen between experts are complicated including debates and findings #that you can only really understand thru research and experience in that field and cant be smoothly shared without it being reworded #and risking some of those key points. or even concepts that are hard to understand that cant be shared at all #like if you tried to tell me about how DNA works using words scientists are familiar with but i am NOT- i risk missing concepts that i need #to understand to know how it works on the level you understand. or i risk having it reworded and understanding it but not on that level #AND IT DOES TIE TO WITCH HAT THE WITCH AND NORMAL FOLK COMMUNITIES I PROMISE. ITS SO INTERESTING #anyway i spent hours reading back thru that conversation and i might as well admit it goes for almost every fun conversation i have #and it might be the 20mg of adderall in my body but i am in such a state of peace and love i have to verbalize it. ahh #yapping

Just talked to my brother on the phone for an HOUR. that's more than he ever talks to me in a week when we're home. Yay <3

#Sorry I'm back flipping with joy this is the brother who decided he suddenly hated me about five years ago and #he's only recently started to care about me again #It's probably the 2 year age gap for some reason that's like number 1 sibling rivalry age gap #I love all of my siblings so dearly but I'm especially happy when he wants to talk to me because he NEVER does #He'd never admit it but this is how I know he misses me #He also just casually offered to bring me along with him and his gf when they went somewhere I was like you NEVER invite me

[eggtqrt]

the thing about the charming siblings is i want to make them tragic. you're perfect, I wish I was perfect. you're allowed to not be perfect. I resent you for being perfect. I hate you for being imperfect. I want to be a boy. I want to be a knight. I want to be you. I could be better than you. I wish your destiny was mine. I wish people loved me the way they love you. I wish she loved me the way she loves you. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. I love you. I miss when we were friends. we never talk anymore. do you even care? you know nothing about me. you took my destiny. who am I? I'm supposed to be the responsible one. don't leave me. get away from me. when did you grow out of being a little kid? i miss home. the only place that feels like home is you. do you love her? do you love me? brother. sister. i was supposed to protect you. I'm sorry. I forgive you. nothing will ever be the same again.

it's about perfection and performance. it's about playing roles. everyone has their role to play. what if i want to be something else, something more. it's about femininity and masculinity. it's about not fitting in to either. is it about who you're supposed to be or who you want to be? I did it for you. I didn't ask for that. I'd burn the world for you. you never cared about me. I think of you always. there isn't room enough for all of us. i wish you'd never been born at all. I couldn't live without you.

#the thing about dexter and darling is they have a lot of parallels #they both thought their love interests (raven and apple) liked daring #they both wish they were like daring (though in different ways) #neither of them have a confirmed destiny #but at the same time dexter gets to be a prince and do the things she wants to do #and i think Dexter is sort of jealous of her because as another prince he gets compared to daring more #Dexter resents his siblings for being seemingly perfect and he also resents darling for how she doesnt even have to be perfect #bc she doesnt get compared to daring in his eyes #darling does feel the need to be perfect though and resents that she can't live the life she wants but her brothers get that life #daring TO ME has a superiority complex to cover up his flaws bc hes severely scared of being imperfect #but at the same time he wishes he was allowed to be imperfect bc the pressure is killing him #hes relied on false bravado for so long that he doesn't know who is without that especially when he loses his destiny #so he resents darling for her effortless confidence in who she is #i think they all used to be super close and daring felt like the one who needed to protect his siblings #but they grew apart as they got older and started to resent each other and he lost that protective instinct #but they all miss when they were closer #i think daring realizes he was “supposed” be the one protecting his siblings once darling starts protecting/saving him #to darling its too late for him to protect her bc she can protect herself and doesnt want to be protected #to dexter though i think a part of him wishes daring stood up for and protected him more #they all desperately need to be flawless but its killing them #and they all desperately want to be each other #and they all just want their siblings back #but they can't go back to when they were children #and they can't understand each other as they are now #but they love each other anyways #even as they resent each other #eah #ever after high #ignore that i wrote 50 million more things in the tags #i realize this may be out of character or whatever but idc

Lately I've been thinking a lot about how Aegon won't have the opportunity to bid farewell to his brothers, sister-wife, son. and the funeral of Jaehaerys will be the first and last for him, not because others will be saved, but because the bodies of most of them will not be found.

#[ Aegon tried to perpetuate their memory but did not last long enough to track the construction of statues in honor of the brothers ] #[ he will learn about each death from the mouths of others #and he will not be able to bid farewell even to helaena because he will not be there ] #[ his sons will be brutally murdered and his wife will go mad with grief and fall out of the window ] #[ a young family shrouded in trauma pain and early deaths ] #aegon ii targaryen #helaena targaryen #jaehaera targaryen #jaehaerys targaryen #aemond targaryen #daeron targaryen #house of the dragon #team green #my post #[ he welcomes death as an old friend and for the first time does not try to avoid it #because he knows that his family is waiting for him on the other side and he has missed them madly #finally the long-awaited reunion ]

#Loki will be aroace and miss that his brother is courting like 5 midgardians and that the entire team he's living with are together #nat and clint making out in the kitchen and loki walks past them to the pantry to grab some chocolate sprinkles #like yeah yeah okay everyone has needs of course Steve and Bruce are cuddling but can they not take up the entire couch i need to sit down #Loki like hey Thor where'd u get those suspicious markings do you need me to heal you and Thor says Clint holds New York against him too #Loki is like ah yes. sparring. #Loki like I don't understand why we already have game night on fridays why does the team leave me alone on saturdays too #do they not like me :( #they're always making excuses to leave the room discretely when I'm around :( #Loki hanging out with Jane who also doesn't know about the Avengers she just knows that she and Thor didn't work out #btw this has happened twice Thor and the warriors 4 were totally together #Loki just doesn't find this out until after the AVengers thing gets out at which point Thor is like uhhh Loki how did u not know im poly #Loki isn't even reacting at this point he's just like numb inside like oh. okay then. thanks for telling me. i need to lay down for a while

After everything is over, the Byers-Hopper family decides to have a do-over of the spring break family dinner night. Jonathan notices Murray noticing Will and Mike and he’s absolutely not letting his little brother get Murray’d at the dinner table. His knee-jerk reaction is to speedrun a sexuality crisis right then and there because he needs to fall hopelessly in love with Argyle immediately to redirect Murray’s attention so Will doesn’t get outed in front of everyone. And maybe it’s suspiciously easy to fall in love with Argyle, but he can worry about that once Will is no longer in peril…

#i just feel like this is something he would do #nothing is off the table when someone brings his little brother into things #even if will is totally capable of handling things himself jonathan's older brother instincts overpower all reason #and when murray points out how argyle clearly reciprocates the feelings #jonathan is like ??? because argyle isn't acting any different than normal and... oh. right. well then. #im not pro or anti murray (bc i know thats a big debate i keep seeing) but he's a fun plot device i can use for my evil schemes #jargyle #jonathan byers #argyle stranger things #wait does he not have a last name???? what. how did i miss that?? #caly's ramblings

[barnbridges]

there's something visceral about.... marion probably knows well enough that bunny doesn't have a fucking bank account at the age of 24 but randomly believed her friend when she said she saw him at a bank, that he randomly became obsessed with murder out of the blue one day and then died and his friends didn't miss him, that his best friend was absolutely ... a sight to behold at the funeral, that the corcorans are neither warm nor really fond of her (where is she talking to his mother? they were planning on having kids together and his parents never spoke to her the whole time she was there), that brady corcoran specifically is described as the least like bunny himself, that they invited "a ton" of people from hampden college but none of her friends (but random people they don't know??? and bunny didn't know that well either??? sure) are ever mentioned being there, they didn't even speak to her when he was presumed missing, but she went right back there and dealt with them for at least another 10 years, and tied herself to them eternally through blood.

#again love in this book is literally #the twisted and the ugly and the bizarre #a feeling that's not aesthetic nor is it really based off what's normal but rather what's visceral and raw and mildly rotten #and their relationship is just... #ripe #it's so.... 50s nuclear family but bunny corcoran never had a nuclear family. how can he desire something he never had. #the secret history #bunny corcoran #what does he even desire? we'll never know #anyway something visceral and ripe and rotten at the core in their relationship and they were married ok #they might as well have been #there's something so.... ugly #in everything they ever do #but at the same time what is true love if not trying to ressurect your dead boyfriend in richard papen words #“for reasons known only to themselves” #bitch they dont miss him #his parents dont care #they never cared #his brothers probably are too traumatized and emotionally stunted themselves to have one thought about it #she cares she brought him back #she's such a delulu girl i adore #her straight audacity

Random TGCF AU of the day

Something something SWD goes on a long term trip and leaves SQX with Pei Ming. Pei Ming is determined to be a good temporary guardian/older brother figure. SQX is determined to destroy him.

#random tgcf thoughts #I picture this as a Royal AU for some reason #(some reason being the danmei novel snippet that inspired this xD) #the way I have it in my head is Rong Guang visiting Pei manor in order to scheme #Pei Ming trying to talk him out of scheming #and their not-so-secret meetings constantly being interrupted bySQX’s own schemes #RG finds this hilarious #sqx just misses his brother #and is convinced pm knows more about this trip and when he’ll be back #pm doesn’t but has suspicions #and keeps pointing out that swd writes more to sqx than him anyway #then later swd does go out of contact for mysterious reasons #which really strains their tumultuous cohabitation #RG is also investigating something in between schemes which SQX later gets mixed up in #so PM gets involved to bail him out even if that means he now owes RG big time and will be a part of Schemes #an exchange I see happening at some point: #pm: you’ve been skipping your lessons. what are you going to tell your brother? #sqx: if my brother really cared about my education he would have left me with ling wen #pm: that just shows how much he loves you. lw wouldn’t put up with half the stuff I do #when I can finally read the danmei novel that inspired this maybe I’ll revisit this AU #also I need to go back and develop the calamity swd AU at some point

[colorisbyshe]

for some reason my nana is STILL alive (not conscious, she hasn't been awake since... monday?) and i'm just now realizing... i don't own any funeral-ready clothes. i gave them all away because they didn't fit anymore. like theoretically i have black pants i could wear but like... god im going to have to buy something asap

last night i was included in funeral talk and my input was valued but like... i can't show up looking like a bum they're not the types to let it go

#death cw #oh MORE crazy details #apparently people have been urgently calling her brother since she first landed in the hospital #SO BEFORE V DAY #and because he's doing a like... global (???) cruise no one has beenable to contact him #like he does NOT know his sister is dyiiiing #and might miss the funeral #since theyre catholic and they tend to happen fast #(also the money he is using for this cruise #was semi-stolen from the properties they own together #what a great group of people)

[maddy-ferguson]

my brother called me for christmas and i didn't recognize him because he has a deep voice now very much felt like killing myself when he said "this is [his name and my little sister's name] btw" at the end of the voicemail

#i was like is this a wrong number is this a prank because it's not particularly funny it's most likely a wrong number because i literally #don't know any random man who would be calling me for christmas #this is crazy #he's 12 and a half. 12 and 3/4 actually. so ig that tracks (yeah) but like #crazy #i haven't seen him or my little sister or my stepmother who isn't my stepmother anymore in 4 years because i HATED going to my dad's it was #the bane of my existence from 2009 to 2019 and i loved my brother and my little sister i loved seeing them but i don't regret the fact that #i stopped going even if it means i no longer have a relationship with them and only talk on our birthdays or i guess on christmas #like it does make me sad and when i considered not going anymore before i actually stopped i always thought about them and about how much i #loved them and i do miss them and hate the fact that idk we were only close for the first 8 years of my brother's life and 6 years of my #little sister's life but at the end of the day...it's like with my dad not having that substantial of a relationship with him (i see him a #few times a year for like a couple hours tops and like we talk but we don't TALK but we're not on bad terms we talk more now than we did #when i went to his house semi-regularly for the weekend) makes me sad but i can just. not think about it. and then i'm not sad lmao. like #yeah i'll have dreams about it (not as much as i used to) because it is a thing that is always going on with me but it's NOTHING compared #to what going there was like like i thought about it SO MUCH it made me SO MISERABLE and like actively miserable this is easier to deal #with. passively miserable. but not recognizing my brother's voice was crazy #i always call my little sister my little sister and i don't say that with my brother because i have another sister and she's ALSO my little #sister but not as little😭 like my sister: my sister who's 18 my little sister: my sister who's 10. my dad forbid us from saying half- #sibling🙏 #and like i say: brf slt

[worstloki]

Not to be that person. But the thought of, instead of handling those actual grief from the first five minutes of infinity war they decided to bring Jane back and have her die and be the grief thing?

Thor 4 handled grief? I thought they just brought it up and then skipped those parts

#YEAH like bro if you're going to just ignore every previous thing then why is this a continuation of those previous things #like oh the guardians are here no they're not Thor is depressed no he's not #they keep just *doing* events with the characters so that it can have *no* influence later as well #like #''thor has a tattoo for loki so he misses his brother'' ok?? AND???? where does that actually SHOW??? #''Thor is sad Jane died'' I ASK YET AGAIN--WHERE BOI #Thor be like poker face into the middle distance with a single tear rolling down his cheek #hashtag subverting toxic masculinity #I WILL say that Gorr's grief would've been GREAT to explore PARTICULARLY in parallel to Thor's own #like yeah Gorr you're right the g*ds are useless they didn't help with Thanos no one helped when my people were being slaughtered #yeah Gorr I know what it means to lose people people it has burdened me every single day and continues to #but you can't let the pain of that dictate your actions if all you're going to do is hurt yourself more #they should've fleshed Gorr out more in the middle and actually stopped to make Thor's previous suffering present #in more than 1 joking montage scene where he was sobbing and with a joke tattoo #throw as many gags as you want in but at least pretend you're trying for complexity in your character which HAS the setup for it already #shameful storytelling #5/10 #Thor 4 #especially since he is the main. #speaking of which what the frickity frackity were they doing with Val and Jane who ALSO had perfect setups for good messaging #like Val has taken on a lot of responsibility upon returning to a place she previously left after ditching responsibility #there is a LOT you can do with her character beyond showing her for fight scenes like come on man #I wouldn't call what happened with Jane fridging but I do think they wasted a lot of opportunity to get into the worthiness aspect #and the entire dying of cancer aspect. inevitable tragedies in life that do not have solutions? it happens! #but that Mjolnir didn't have an effect on the cancer's progression felt a bit... like the condition wasn't important but for that #and Thor *did* care about Jane taking care of herself but that could have been far better rooted into not wanting to lose people again #but like. none of the stuff at all felt serious or heavy at most it felt neutral and then went back to lighthearted #it's like they ended that storyline without properly starting it

[chryzuree]

wow. i was so insane for the chryzure l&c universe where azure’s possessed by his father. let me add to that: he has permanent internal scarring from having a ghost inside of him for almost two years and also he can never quite get warm (chryzurejacks curling up together so azure can try and get warm…) and he’s always kissing chrysi’s wrists where mordecai nearly broke her bones, because he feels so horrible he couldn’t stop it. he’s so scared of sleeping. he always needs to be near chrysi. he’s a man traumatized by what he went through and he knows he will never quite return to normal.. it’s okay. even george is being nice to him for once. showing up w homemade food and pastries and such, to warm azure up. :((

#went through my old blog. miss chrysi’s baby brother and that universe :(( #also my jackaby/l&c mashup universe rules mwah mwah. george watches his sister fucking die!! #memorie.txt #s.chryzure #p.ghosthood #but like.. yeah. the chronic conditions that persist after that… :(( #azure’s breath also never clouds in the cold anymore since he runs at a much lower temp now #must ALL happy things be taken from him?!!! #also all scientists want azure. they NEED to know what prolonged possession does to a person!!!! #the only reason they don’t have him is because chrysi started getting very very scary. jst TRY and take her bf from her again!!!
