i was hoping to make a post like this under happier circumstances, but here goes.
as some of you know, everything with the cancellation and renewal campaign has happened right on top of the worst part of my mom's cancer treatment (plus the show was cancelled on my actual birthday 💀). i won't go into details, but it's been tough. lots of ups and downs, mostly downs, luckily ending (for now) on as much of an up as circumstances allow. the whole thing has been weirdly tied to the cancellation for me, kind of amplifying every feeling. the grief got mixed up, and there was so much of it - mourning the loss of the kind of future i thought i'd have with my mother and the time we might not get, mourning the end of a show that means so much to me and is such a big part of my life. different types of grief, sure, and of different magnitudes, but in one big ugly swirl. i sort of had a breakdown right at the start of february, and it was because of news about my mom, but it morphed into my brain telling me everything i'd ever written was shit and wanting to delete it all. stuff like that, spilling over.
anyway. i was holding off on writing this post to see if the show got picked up by someone else. but i still want to say it. because what also spilled over was the support and community from this fandom, and being in this space (despite the rough times and high emotions) helped me through it, because of all of you here. whether we talk regularly, or you left a comforting reply or simply a like on one of my posts about having a hard time (i tried to keep them few), or wrote a nice comment on a fic, or said something funny or nice or insightful in the tags of a gifset, or was active here (or on twt) in any way, talking/sharing/creating stuff about the show - THANK YOU.
you all helped me through all the ups and downs, and i am so grateful. thank you for being here, listening, distracting, helping me feel some joy despite the horrors. i love you and i love this incredible show and all it has brought and will continue to bring and inspire, and although it should go without saying, i'm not going anywhere. just do me a favor and give yourself a big ol' hug from me, and know that you made a difference for some random guy on the internet (but in reality for many more, and for this fandom as a whole, just by being here and being you) 💕

i figure the doctor’s probably aware of the fourth wall on, like, an intellectual level? they can’t really sense it themself, but timesquid theoretical physics has long known they exist in a fictional-from-a-certain-perspective multiverse, and the doctor’s picked up enough over the years they’re aware of at least the basic outline of the concept. there’s a little doohickey on the tardis console that tells you whether you’re on tv, in a comic, in an audio, whether you’re in an officially licensed story… not that those are how the time lords frame the concepts, but the doctor does have a vague idea that their adventures have an audience, even if they’re not entirely clear on its nature
the tardis, on the other hand

Yet another let night MS Paint. This time the Creed siblings as. Vaguely puppety? Cartoony?
It's titled "creed siblings if they slayed" on my computer so.
Also the symbols have to do with the gods they are vessels of. Time for Ty, Space for Charlie, "Void" for Blitz.
#mango man speaks#mango man draws#digital art#digital drawing#oc shit#ms paint#void in quotes because the void does not actually have a god associated with it as it existed before the gods.#it only has a god associated with it because the god of space was consumed by it for. super long. the god's soul. essence. whatever word.#was not consumed. leading to two separate entities.#time and space were the first two gods that sprung into existence. working in tandem to give way to reality.#time is a passive extremely conceptual thing. precise and always in motion. and the god of time was very much consumed by his work of makin#sure every timeline was separate and didnt merge.#the god of space is basically the god of being. of form and shape and color and whatnot. and the void is. well. the void. it is nothingness#incomprehensible nonexistence.#and at the edges of reality the god of space could feel the void. could feel it becoming sentient. wanting complete nonexistence back.#as such he was driven to insanity. the goddess of fate had obviously foreseen ultimate destruction of everything so the gods all had agreed#to scatter their beings across reality.#but the god of space was already corrupted so when the time came he threw himself and the goddess of humanity into the void.#and as for the god of time. having to give up his tangible existence for the the sake of everything. had scattered himself across timelines#the goddess of fate had predicted that even with dispersing across reality the void would eventually be able to catch up to them all so she#set that the gods would all become whole again to attempt to combat it then.#this all leading to ty being aware of and partially merged with other timeline versions of himself.#and charlie being isolated from everyone as the god of space was.#and blitz having no soul when he came back to life. having been fully cemented and decided to be the void's vessel.#... ok i think. the lore dump was uh. haha. a lot lol.

another specific scenario nice & simple like winston "isn't allowed to have a 'correct' cishet(tm) gender n sexuality anyways" "keeps immediately latching on to the nonbinariest people around him" billions goes yolo mode after going [just endlessly weather it at the sunk cost factory] firmly established itself as a shitshow and decides like i'm gonna hook up with a guy fr (has not already happened, in this specific scenario) and then does so, congrats to him. however, with all the precedent in the world, it's like here's your big anxiety about any autodidactic sex ed beforehand. here's your big anxiety about just general surveillance & malicious handling of it afterwards. no way anyone could have completely founded hangups about everything even further just indefinitely now. bonus points though he still goes to math meetup has real math friends over there who have Really provided the [yeah it's not actually a popularity contest here] arena & he's known them for years & let's say has at least One amicable person who talks with him out of it, maybe even two. congrats to him canonly for getting out of there, sure hurt him as much as they possibly could on his way out though, was legitimately the goal
#and no way could winston already have founded hangups abt anything to just be added to here. we would just Know if he did#(unserious remark there....)#speaking of ''it's basically like bitter exes clashing except they didn't even get to have the actual relationship(tm)''#winston gets to anytime; all the time; be on edge abt ''what if someone was intently stalking me re: what i'm doing or what info i'm#potentially leaving'' like that is what happened & not like anyone would clarify here's what we did; here's what we're now Not doing#or like that would feel (or in this case: be) trustworthy anyways#billions is all but certainly going ''oh he's fine lol. he has always just been fine lol.''#with the logic that he's fine b/c if we don't think it matters how he's affected (& we don't!) then the Reality is: it doesn't matter#dehumanize your local autist: a billions story#winston billions#and all the discussion like ''wags' Kys Data on winston is like [buy pants] [mundane handy lookups]'' like uh okay#but it's like As Though winston just could Never have looked up things So Wrong for correct cishets like ''am i gay? quiz?'' lmao#or as though wags wouldn't throw that kind of thing at someone. do we assume everyone else there would suddenly Disapprove if he did#winston evidently cast as AnyNerd in the whole saga while wags is lovingly cradled in billions' arms shh you're so epic#with any viewers who also don't get / decline the memo we're supposed to understand winston is less of a person going like Uh. What#doesn't add up with anything but aren't we all just having a delightful time w/wags as always

I hate the idea of “modernized” adaptations.. if anything we should do the opposite.. take a popular show from 2015 and remake it set in the 1850s or 1400s or something.. it’s about the COSTUMES, it’s about the settings...!! i see fucking iphones and skinny jeans and mcdonalds and automobiles every day of my life.. it’s boring!!!! WHERE are the people in long velvet cloaks.. the elaborate architecture.. the showcase of previously forgotten technology and culture relevant to the time period.... 
#I can't think of a single show that I wouldn't like MORE if it were set in either a historical or a fantasy world#(so long as it had an actual budget and the 'historical fashion' wasn't like.. a prom dress from JC penny or something)#even reality tv shows#I would love a mockumentary style fake 'reality tv' (since it's actually actors doing improv not real people) version of like#bad girls club set in the 1600s or like in a fantasy setting ghvghvgfh#NOTHING.. NOTHING can not be improved by simply setting it in a time and place that is not our own#n o t h i n g#and EVERYTHING can be made worse by setting it in modern times#i have had ENOUGH of modern times.. i fucking LIVE here#let's see something else for a change PLEASE#I don't want to hear a character talk about TikTok... they should be talking about Telegram or Treacherous Magic Portal#Of Communication.#All characters are instantly made better with the knowledge that jeff bezos does not exist to them and none of them have#ever sent a text or rode in a car#(single exception is like 1890s-1910s automobiles that look funny and ONLY if they're a very minor part of the setting OR in a fantasy world#(like.. orcs that actually have cars but it's that type of car gjbjhhj... I like the idea of elevanting fantasy technology in a world#beyond the typical like weird medieval sort of vibes  where some groups DO have tech similar to the real world but just older or worse#or weirder versions. elves have basic telegrams and are figuring out glass plate photography. vampires are trying to master#flight at the moment and they keep failing and just sending people off the edge of cliffs to explode. etc. etc. ghbhjb)#ANYWAY .. you get what i mean ghbhj#I'm still trying to go through every media I've ever watched and think if any of them would be worse set in a historical or fantasy#world and I can't think of any.. ultimate improvement tool (again. with the assumption that it's actually handled WELL with a thought out#researched world and decent budget. etc.)#*watching masterchef or something completely average* wow what if everyone was in baroque costumes instead.. this would be better#somehow.. surely the cooking would be improved

I still think that there's one bit of A Winter's Tale that a lot of meta and fanfics neatly skip past:
The funny bit is that when I use this in my own fics it's basically the bargain basement level of textual analysis and when I lay it out you'll see why. Because the Endless, after all, are anthropomorphic personifications defined by their jobs, ultimately, that take a physical and metaphorical form as their realms and the nature of their being. Dream and Destruction struggle with it in ways not unlike Death, but here it gets into the interrelated but that I will also bring up.
As per A Winter's Tale and the (slightly modified) version of it in the show, Death has a vision of her job/function unlike any of her siblings. In the comics, the harder version that I prefer to use over the show, she outright walked out because her job wore her down and she had, essentially, a nervous breakdown because of a deep depression that a careful reading of A Winter's Tale shows she's in denial about never addressing. Naturally my stories tend to hit her with this Negan Bat with great gusto.
Now factor this is in from a canonical POV and a family of beings who are defined by tasks, where Dream and Destiny are the most rigid....and then equally factor in the irony that Dream, one of the two most rigid, is at his closest with the one who's ultimately one of the least and the most flighty about aspects of details of her job. Factor in that this family of immortals who date from the dawn of time have one person in the family who completely cracked and walked out and broke reality in the process.
From their POV it would no doubt be a thing that hung over their sister and her decisions and a thing that they and those old enough to have been there would long remember. From the perspective of job-defined inhuman immortals, the very thing that would make Death the most appealing to humans are a mark of permanent failure on her part, while her becoming mortal and taking her mortal days might well anchor her in mortal affairs in a way only Destruction comes close to.....but it can easily be read in a much darker fashion than I usually would be inclined to take it because I've struggled with those thoughts myself and writing that into fiction is playing with fire when soaked with gasoline.
A human would see the events of A Winter's Tale as 'the job got to you and it was hard' and understand that. Would the Endless? Even Destruction? Ultimately no, I don't think any of them really could understand that even if they tried, and there are some careful looks at Destruction's actions in Brief Lives and Song of Orpheus that both strengthen the parallel with Death and where they differ.
Death is willing to fully yield her power for 24 hours a century to live among mortals without any of the sorcery and the responsibility and the nature of the Endless. None of her siblings are willing to go so far, or to truly experience life within the worlds they govern in that way.
And then combine this with the knowledge that unlike the rest she will outlive the universe, and without the universe Death of the Endless is but a title and a moment in time, a true job that will one day end....at the price that all her siblings go into something she cannot see and she alone cannot. And then take another look at the mortal days and as much as it anchors her in the mortal world and in being able to relate to mortals it can be seen in that darker sense as both an escape hatch and a deeply necessary one because she is ultimately still chasing the same outlet she tried to get and failed and only returned to because well....

part of the reason i feel like i have to do this (rewatch from the beginning and not skip ahead) is that i never did that the first time i returned to vikings and fell for ivar as a character. i learned about him and skipped STRAIGHT to his introduction as a teen and i feel like there was a lot i missed about just how early the villain arcs/hero decay starts with the s1 cast and the kind of context he grows up into and it’s meaningful to see that now. to see in the appointed timeline how rapidly and intensely the ragnar-aslaug marriage degrades, how ragnar’s parenting of bjorn becomes progressively worse as bjorn ages and how that corrodes bjorn’s own personality and robs him of all motivation to do anything but try to please his father, how ragnar treats his younger sons with the same diminishing love as they grow, how ragnar’s desperation for the love he once felt from athelstan drives him to increasingly abandon all other relationships that don’t reflect back to him this idealized vision of himself and his future that he’s walking further away from every day, etc etc etc.
in a lot of ways it’s mediocre prestige tv (and will continue to be that), but it’s also a pretty decent epic family tragedy about ego and memory and the destructive power of a patriarch (in presence or absence) and how we hate the people we love and cling to them past all reason

creating a new dnd character is so fun like what the fuck
#currently developing my drow paladin's backstory and shit some more and jshsgsj they are so different from caim#bc caim is like. a good person in general! they have some issues but overall they try their best#meanwhile valkyon (the drow) is like. they 100% believe they're also a good person. when in reality. they are not.#they're a vigilante who kills people who they believe are bad and are trying to get stroger and stronger..........#ngl val might have been kinda inspired by light yagami. alongside kotoko yuzuriha from milgram#what can i say. characters who have a strong sense of justice and then start killing people who they believe deserve it are sooo interesting#i wanna study them under a microscope#and that's exactly why im making a character like that!#also trying to make them visually distinct from caim is also really interesting#i think i have the facial features down. where caim is a bit soft and round val is all sharp edges#sharp cheekbones. straight nose. more angular eyes#now i also have to also design an outfit for them which will be a bit more difficult but i think i can do it#they're a dex paladin so i can't just go for full on armor. gonna have to play around with that for sure.#i know i wanna include a shoulder cape or something of the sort#ooooh actually i just googled shoulder capes (to see if there's any other word for it) and saw something cool on google images.#gonna have to come back to it later#but yeahhh i guess i know what im doing tonight#as well as learning a bit more about how to play a paladin before the oneshot on friday#wish me luck ig#hananans

"In the day time, I'm Andres, just a normal guy with a normal life, but there's something there is something that nobody knows, that I have a secret"
"It's Berlin-"
Perfect, anon! As long as we're watching Disney anyway.
#the whole berlin thing is so annoying#but what's more annoying to me personally is the gradual watering down of Pina's writing (at least regarding lcdp)#I know he's not writing prestige tv and I'm not saying only 'violent' writing is good#and it's not even particularly about Violence or the lack of it. vol 1 was the most violent and the worst writing of his I've seen lmfao#it got insanely stereotypical with his main characters losing their edge#Martín becoming a big no revenge softie in the span of one season#Bogotá becoming a twitter ally#whatever the fuck is happening to Berlin now lol#like compare all of this to the first part of lcdp which had this cold sharpness to it. genuinely uncomfortable scenes that left a bad taste#in your mouth even with no violence#and it was pretty balanced! it did have its fair share of heart and laughter and love and nice vibes#but it was sharp and the characters seemed very real and multidimensional and people seriously capable of harm#they were actual hardened criminals. which is the only thing that makes sense lol. '#naive characters like Rio who were in for the fun of it got the biggest reality slaps because doing crime on that level wasn’t a joke lol#and that's what gave the show actual tension#and made it fun to watch#now it has this disney element where I just can't believe any of them lmfao. sure we don’t know much but on the very least I don’t believe#Andrés. He's barely a character here. he's like the criminal version of ted lasso#which sure. a show like that could work fine on its own#but remember when the original network was negotiating with Pina on whether a character like Berlin was even appropriate for tv and#swallowable by audiences because how paradoxical and perverse he was?#now he's ladybug

Succession Spoilers Ahead
Okay, so... officially caught up on Succession. And fucking wow.
I kept seeing posts pretty much saying 'Fuck Tom' and 'Poor Shiv' and I was so confused. Like I enjoyed Tom and I felt bad for him because Shiv has done him dirty. I kept thinking this guy has to commit the ultimate betrayal for me to hate him and fully back her, and if that's not exactly what that was... then I don't know what the fuck else to call it.
When he was propositioning Greg at the wedding, I was taken aback because he called it a deal with the devil after his call with Shiv, but I didn’t see it, because I still couldn't believe he was going to make that move. That was the one thing that would've turned me against him (though he was on really shaky ground with that guilt trip for a baby; he literally said there was no point in having sex with his wife if they were still using contraception. My entire body writhed at that 🤢🤮)
But most of all:
I hate Logan Roy with a fiery passion. He tears his family apart for control and fun. And he is undoubtedly an evil son of a bitch. Also, he's clearly full of shit on the depth of his involvement on Cruises. In S2, Bill had some direct leverage over him, he said 'diaries' and if it got Logan to back down from pinning him as planned, that means he would be immediately implicated if that shit got out.
I want him to burn. I wish Kendall would've told Shiv and Roman how their dad had said NRPI regarding his confession, the waiter's death. (Honestly, I think that was really what got Ken to flip on his dad in the S2 finale, not the fact that his dad said he was not a killer, but the fact that there's no shred of remorse in his father for the innocent people he's hurt, and Ken doesn't want to be him, but it just feels morally bankrupt to lie down and let the demon win.)
All I want for the final season is the siblings sticking together and taking down the dictator! I love those small moments where you get to see small fragments of who they'd be as a group if their father wasn't the symbol of malignant malevolence. I don't care if they get the business or not, I just need to see Logan a washed up and lonely wreck of a ruin. My happy ending would be for his to be horrible. He deserves no less.
(Also, I just need to say that just because he's a titan, doesn't mean he's a fucking genius. Over the entirety of the series, he's hung his company out to dry, put them in secret debt and straight up just went m.i.a. while his kids had to make the life-saving decisions and he just turns on them, calls them an idiot or a moron and says - without any specifics - that he would've done it better.... somehow. He keeps everybody out of the loop and screws them repeatedly and then pushes them to scramble over his mistakes and when they can't bribe, coerce or threaten things his way, they're suddenly ungrateful trash).
I'm not a malicious or violent person, but if I was his kid, I'd want to mount his severed head over my fucking fireplace. (It's a bit personal, he reminds me of my dad, my stepuncle and the worst parts of my grandfather all rolled into one. Literally every terrible male role model I had growing up, all the one's who fucked up my head with toxic internalized misogyny)
I know this is the show where the bad guy keeps winning.... and I just... that can't be how it ends. He has to lose this time. Please... if the kids stick together... I think they'd have enough juice to finally stick it to him, however that needs to happen. Hell, at this point, I'd be fine with them hunting his ass on some secluded island xthe most dangerous game' style.
I HATE LOGAN ROY!!!
😡😤🤬🤬🤬☠️🤬🤬👹🤬🤬🤬🔪🔪🔪☠️⚰️🪦
