#i spent ten minutes on it SORRY

[steddieas-shegoes]

You know how people post videos of their kids’ reactions to their favorite artists coming on stage and it’s so wholesome (I’m crying over one right now nobody look at me)

All I can think about is how the first birthday Eddie spent with Wayne he was convinced it would be the same as it always was but Wayne took the whole day off work and made all his favorite meals and then drove him to Indy for a surprise

And it wasn’t one of his favorite bands because the timing just didn’t work out but it was a pretty cool metal band that eddie ended up loving a lot and wayne just watched eddie get to experience his first concert (and he had a hell of a headache after the show but it was worth it knowing that Eddie’s love of music grew even more that night)

#eddie munson #wayne munson #I’m sorry I’m so fuckin emotional today #I just spent ten minutes crying over a tik tok of Robert Irwin talking about the turtles his dad discovered #now I’m crying again thinking about it

Feeling very violent rn so here's a very controversial opinion:

Everything after season one of Young Justice sucked.

Look, I know I'm obsessed with the show but that doesn't mean it's good, it means that I'm too deep into it at this point to get out. There are good moments within the other seasons but in general? They were not good.

I'm sorry. I understand that they wanted to be creative and have a neat narrative and deep lore and all that. And they do! The narrative and lore is extremely deep.

But the plot? The characters??

Season one was an actual functional show that balanced character development, plot and dialogue with world building, lore and messaging.

The other seasons do not do that.

Season two bounced back and forth between like 16 characters. We got some development for some characters but even that was minimal compared to the character development in S1. And this isn't me complaining that the og group wasn't in S2 enough. That's not my issue. I would've loved to focus on a new group and I think that Jaime, Bart, Ed and Gar would've been super cool to focus on. I loved what character development they did have and I craved more.

But the problem? The problem is when you have 16 fucking characters that you are trying to develop and shove into a coherent plot and have actual meaningful scenes. There just wasn't enough focus on S2. Imo, S2 was meh because the characters got left by the wayside. The plot, dialogue, world building, lore and messaging was fine, there just seemed to be a lack of heart/warmth in the show because of the characters. It's hard to get invested.

Then holy shit. S3 introduced more characters. And the plot got more contrived and 'big picture' to the point that it started to abstract. It felt like nothing mattered. There were no stakes, you were just watching things happen. There was 50 fucking things happening an episode and 80% of it was lore/world building. It felt like I was studying for a fictional history exam.

I'm pretty sure the main character in S3 was earth 16. Just the entire universe. Because goddamn. We checked in on almost every living being and EVERYTHING was a plot point. Most of it wasn't even relevant to anything happening in the season. Man it was.... it was bad.

And at that point it just wasn't enjoyable at all to watch. I probably should've stopped watching but at that point the sunk cost fallacy had already kicked in. I knew it could be good. Maybe it could be good again. And people were constantly praising it as cinematic genius so I was like 'okay well maybe I'm missing the point? Maybe you aren't supposed to enjoy shows? Maybe this is fine?'

But season four broke me.

The creators heard that people were frustrated by the lack of character focus and the episodes following 72 characters and the episodes switching between 50 different subplots every episode and their solution? Their solution was to take allllllll the different unconnected plots and, instead of evenly spreading them throughout the season, jam them all into 'arcs'. So you had a bunch of mini seasons consisting of 3-5 episodes dedicated to a cast of ~5-8 characters (some of them new). And each of these episodes had unconnected a plots, b plots and c plots.

THAT IS NOT A SOLUTION

Holy shit that is not a solution.

Not to mention the overarching plot of the season, in which we had no fucking clue what was happening until the final episodes where everything became a speedrun to wrap everything up. We literally had no idea what the main plot was until it was ending.

Good god it was bad. It's bad writing!

I know people liked it and good for them. You should like what you like and you don't have to justify it. But for me it was insanity. I'm sorry I actually don't want a season long subplot where Beast Boy is depressed and sleeps all day. I would be cool with it if it had anything to do with the larger story but, surprisingly, spending five minutes watching Beast Boy sleep every episode didn't make for compelling storytelling.

I'm still not over how we didn't even know who the main villain was until the end of the season. And then all of a sudden he does a villain monologue to tell everyone his evil plan and his motives. Super cool actually. I love it when I have no idea what the stakes are for the majority of a show. It's incredibly good storytelling when you leave the audience in the dark about a major player in the plot for all of the plot. And then doing an info dump evil monologue in the final episodes to rush through the explanation??? Fucking fantastic and not a sign of terrible pacing at all.

I'm just so frustrated. The show isn't about being a show anymore. The show is an entire cinematic universe shoved into 20 something episodes. It's desperate to tell every single story at once, audience, pacing and good writing be damned.

I'm so tired of the constant praising of Greg. His whole 'i don't write endings because life doesn't have endings' and 'i don't write cliffhangers, I just leave things open ended' thing is pretentious bullshit. I'm tired of pretending it's not. A good story has an ending. Stories are not life! Some of the best shows I've ever watched had planned endings. And oh my god. The cliffhanger thing... that's just semantics my guy. Greg you write cliffhangers. You can insist they aren't but I'm going to call a spade a spade.

It's also.... I'm fine with explaining things, in fact I love it because it's an excuse to talk about the stuff I love, and I have a fairly decent knowledge of comic book lore. So, I could not only understand what was happening in the show but I was also super enthusiastic about explaining it to people. But hey Greg? Hey buddy? If 90% of your audience doesn't know what the fuck is going on and needs to be familiar with super specific obscure comic characters from the 70's then you might have a problem.

I think I realized halfway through s4 that the most enjoyment I got from an episode was when an obscure comic character would cameo in it. But then I realized that a) they generally weren't explained at all and b) 50% of the time they weren't just hanging out in the background and they were vital to the plot. So to understand who the fuck they were and what the fuck was happening you had to be familiar with... well all of DC comics actually.

Anyway this rant is getting long and unhinged and I don't think there's a point so I'm going to cut myself off even though I have so much more to say on the topic. I think my general point is just that I didn't enjoy watching the later seasons and it's chill if you did and we should all respect each other's opinions ✌️

#rant #oh also the messaging sucked #the messages itself were fine. like 'you should go to therapy if you are depressed' and 'respect people's religions' and #'figuring out your gender/sexual identity is chill af' #those are great messages. the content is great and i don't disagree #BUT HOLY FUCK #yo Zatara ranting about his religion to Fate for 15 minutes is not how you get a message across #messages are supposed to be like themes and subtle points of the narrative #it's not supposed to be a fucking psa where the characters just talk for half the episode and say the message verbatim to the audience #itd be like if in season one M'gann stood up and spent ten minutes talking about the damaging psychological effects of body image issues #and everyone else just sat there and nothing happened and M'gann just kinda spoke about it #or if Artemis was just like 'im going to do a presentation on why child abuse is bad' #its just. thats not. thats not how messages in a plot work #but they didn't develop the characters enough. so instead of s1 where the messages were blatantly obvious #we just had side character zatara who we know nothing about talk about religion like he was doing a PSA for kindergartners #because we don't know his character and he had zero focus so that was literally the only way to get the message across #and im sorry but that's bad writing. if you are sacrificing character plot and narrative for a message then maybe scrap the message #or you know actually have a developed character do the message. like write the message through a developed character so it doesn't #need to be spoonfed to the audience like we're five year olds learning different shapes from a teacher

Well I suppose it makes sense that this miracle moisturizer costs more than just madol. Hmm what if i advertise the mostro lounge on my magicam account. I have 536 followers and it would be amazing publicity. I bet your wondering how I got so famous? It was of course because of my flawless dancing and perfect coordination! I can explain even better in the form of a song and tap dancing routine! *he steps up on the table and is about to start singing*

-🪆

(Ooc this guy is basically tamatoa from Moana. But please don't let him sing. Seriously he has an ten minute number that he does. Also you might have to spell out exactly what you want from him or else he will probably just keep getting distracted.)

Azul was considering it before the other got on the table. He immediately got up. "I would have to ask you not to step on the table," he said with a soft sigh. "You do not have to explain it at all, I can imagine." He paused. "And I suppose the advertisement would be sufficient... If paired with introducing me to the director of the film you will be involved in. I'm sure that would be an easy task, would it not?"

[that-was-anticlimactic]

you know, after all these years, absolutely nothing calms me down nearly as well as the song “quiet” from the matilda musical

#singing it or listening to it #but singing along with it is the best it’s the transition from ‘everything everything is’ to ‘quiet…’ that does it for me #just spent twenty minutes crying because for the first time all semester i just don’t want to go to student teaching tomorrow #and i was like panic attack crying and was scared i wouldn’t be able to drive home for awhile so i played quiet on repeat and sang along and #it was so messy and i barely managed to get the first half of the song out but then it was magical the way my panic attack just. diminished. #and like yeah i was still crying but it wasn’t harsh scary can’t breathe crying it was gentle quiet crying #idk that song just. gets to me. it rally fricking gets to me. #i don’t wanna go tomorrow i feel like a fricking failure and like the worst student teacher ever and ik that’s not fair to say but this past #week was really hard with the kids and gaining their respect like i’ve been trying so hard to be nice and they just laugh at me and they’re #better than this - they didn’t do this before and all i can think is ‘am i going to do a disservice to dickinson too?’ #i don’t want to let my teacher down #idk #i’m sorry #i just like. couldn’t breathe ten minutes ago and grace is asleep so. i came here #idk maybe i’ll delete this later #or at least the tags🤪

on the one hand I'm the stubbornest person I know. on the other hand as soon as I'm in a relationship I have no idea what I want or how to say no or how to express anything I need

#went out w my girlfriend last night and was pretty buzzed by the time we got home #so soon as I was horizontal in bed I mostly just wanted to sleep. given it was 2 am #but she was kissing me and I will admit I didn't put a lot of effort into kissing back due to being half asleep #and then she started crying which got me awake REAL quick and then it took like ten fucking minutes for her to tell me what was wrong #she felt ignored and rejected and everything so I said I was sorry and started kissing her #but then that upset her too because she didn't want to feel like I was ''forcing myself''' or whatever #which at that point was like. holy jesus just tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it and then we can sleep #but we spent like an hour talking about how she needs intimacy and me agreeing that I can do better and her asking if I really agreed or if #I was just saying that and me saying I really agreed and her asking if I was mad at her and me saying I wasn't etc etc etc #we did end up fucking before we went to sleep which weirdly I didn't remember at first in the morning #which I guess makes sense because I was bordering on drunk to start with and then got down a decent amount of whiskey during #that whole conversation. so. #it's just exhausting. like it's not enough to do what she wants I have to be enthusiastic about it the whole time #anyways! enough oversharing on the internet. I need to go sit on the porch #del later

My mum: Oh there was an article about how even students with really high predicted grades are being rejected from top universities this year because of the COVID impact on last year, it's so unfair.

Me: I know? I was one of them, remember?

My mum:

#sumayyah stop #it was kinda hilarious #because she looked so shocked #i was like: sorry i exceeded the grade requirements and still didn't get in? #oh and internally: #just because i spent ten minutes crying to someone who wasn't you #doesn't mean it didn't sting

...sorry i just did a bit of a rant apparently i have Big Feelings about things

where's that post that says "If I could download all your thoughts into a pdf and read them I would" because if I could download all your thoughts into a pdf and read them I would

#hearing other people's thoughts is really fun actually because it's always a nice ''oh I've never seen it like that'' and ''hey me too!'' #also sorry if my silence worried you I went and made tea #spent like ten minutes debating which tea to make #I ran out of my old leaves

My graph for who is more wacko in this au and who is more normal is getting complicated bc i keep coming up w what characters not in the fic r doing.

Yutas actually slightly less unhinged, but he IS more deeply sad and also self perpetuating his own suffering.

Danny garcia is way more hinged but bryans interest in him is extremely unhinged.

Eddie kingston can maybe teleport?
