#i've watched too much bad tv recently and i don't know who to blame but it fucking sucks out here man

[justafriendofxanders]

sorry for the meme format that's apparently nearing a DECADE old but i unironically feel a shiver down my spine any time someone mentions buffy being rebooted

#i can SEE the fucking netflix machine stamping it into the LA winx club/wednesday mold and it makes me want to tear apart #a chain link fence with my teeth #i've watched too much bad tv recently and i don't know who to blame but it fucking sucks out here man #can we stop writing tv like it's a bad novel and/or a collection of Funny Tweets xd #there's no fucking SUBSTANCE these days it's just one nonsensical twitter draft after another #if there's a tiktok plot i will kms in front of the writer's room and forever change the trajectory of their bond. for better or worse idc #also if they cast an actor younger than me to play spike i'll- i'll- i'll oh boy you don't even KNOW how worked up i can get about #this imaginary scenario i just made up in my head #buffyposting #btvs #*specifying 'gen z' here because if the main thrust of your reboot pitch is that the show is the same but less universal i will eat you ali

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime, books, movies or tv series)? Thanks....

Holy shit that is such a tough question haha. I was really like trying to remember all the stuff I've read and watched ever and my brain short circuted for a moment lol this is in no particular order and from original sources (no offense to any adaptations, even if I like them).

Richard Cypher (I mean Terry Goodkind's 12+4 books), Cara (/Kara, also from there), Wu Xie (DMBJ), Zhang Qiling (DMBJ), Lan Zhan (MDZS), Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf), Akashi Seijuro (KNB), Natsume Takashi (Natsume Yuujinchou), Haruka Nanase (Free!), Steve Rogers (you know that one xD).

Fun fact, not to be dramatic or anything, but I really want to say special thanks for Richard & Wu Xie. The way they go about life in general and their incredible trait of finding ways out of seemingly impossible situations without falling into depression and genuinely finding joy in tiny things in some godforsaken ugly ass situations, their adventures and way of thinking got me through some of the toughest shit of my short but hella weird life. Like I've been raised good ofc and got exteremely lucky with my family and I'm saying it without trying to make anyone go like "oh poor you" (I mean you know I never share anything here, I genuinely feel like that won't help anyone really, nor me focusing on that also here, nor anyone with their own problems reading this, thats why I just take breaks and come back when I can), but things of last years like... packing medical document while there's blood everywhere cause my elder sister almost cut off her tongue and dad is in shock, mom in the hospital with internal stomach bleeding, my weird spine operation where doctors for some reason refused to even answer what it was, camping in the hospital while little sister close to diabetic coma at age of 5, putting my cat to sleep bc of the painful neck cancer, grandpa dying twice in one day, finding weird bump in my chest and for 2 months of awful tests thinking "oh hell that might be it" fairly recently... etc lol (I'm not even counting like "world things" here).

I would go down if it wasn't for their way of thinking 😂. Like if I had other mentality, not enough brains and humor sometimes too and went wrong ways about these things, I would drown istg.

It's mostly from them I got all the whining and pitying yourself isn't an option, don't focus on the bad no matter how bad it is find a solution instead, always be happy about you have right now, don't blame anything on others and don't think anyone owes you anything, the first person who can help you is you, those who love you most important what others think doesn't matter, no matter how bad it is move your butt, idiots be idiots move on (esp thoughts of 6th SOT book and Restart is what keeps me breathing when I genuinely think that I won't be able to survive the pure idiocity of the crowd and be like its okay), if you truly can't change anything and did everything possible then just adapt to that and learn how to thrive with what you got etc.

Richard was there for me for a while (like 7 years or smth I think), Wu Xie came recently (but already been tremendous help to me haha). I just think if if wasn't for these series, I'd for sure be sitting somewhere pitying myself about how "life is unfair" instead of being happy. And thats a gift really.

I know half of it coming from the fact that there were times my family didn't have much, so its probably why I can be so happy with so little, but finding positivite things in some complete ass is for sure coming from these guys haha. I remember first time Richard pulled off this thing with anderith ppl my jaw was literally on the floor, I was so impressed with this book, I really was like "I wanna be like that" lmao. It was like... stripped of fucking everything, forced to be surrounded by most idiotic brain-washed haters (they were also extra religious.. which is a special pain for a person like me), separated from the dying and suffering love of your life, just the whole absolute horrid of the whole situation (I can't even describe it, but Istg it was painful to read for me, I was so pissed, I was reading like " jfc how is he even gathering himself? I wouldn't be able to handle even 2 mins of that"), but he not only fucking found ways without even teeny tiny histeric, he managed to come out a fucking winner too. I'm still to this day don't think any character ever shook me like that. And I've read and watched TOO much stuff.

I mean, with recent events also, last weeks I don't even wanna start on what we did and what happened and what ppl around me got like about many things. If it wasn't for Wu Xie's life motto I'd be along with many into the pit of "why", instead of actually you know.. doing things you gotta do. So they hold a special place in my heart in their own way, where you go like "oh damn this fiction character changed my life" not just cause they're your type and certain traits that attract you, you know lmao ;)

Okay I haven't posted a fanfic for a long time and I've never done it on Tumblr, but hey, the inspiration came and I said “why not?” for my dear Betty Ross ... but for an angst fanfic so ... xd I hope you like it, (I am sorry if there are errors, this is not my first language) but I would like to know what you think and if it would be good to give a continuation, I have some ideas but they are not yet clear. Anyway, the fic.

“Look where you are”

Everything continues, time passes, the world turns

But you, where are you now?

What is this place? How did you end up here?

“How is my little girl?” Her father entered the room

He used to visit his daughter often, General Ross finally felt that he was finally making up for so much that he had spent away from her, now he could see her again, since banner left his life again he would have taken care of her, as he always should be

 “Now she is safe” he thought "Thanks to me" he said "You are a good father"

 “Betty, won't you answer me?”

“Sorry senator, it doesn't have much that she took her medication, she's a little ...”

 “I'm perfectly ok”  Betty answered “I just don't want to talk”

 The tone of her voice was different from what she used to be

She was different from who she used to be ...

 “My dearest Betty” her father caressed her head with care of her while she watched him with recel “Every time I come are you going to get like this?”

 “You locked me up”

“Betty… “

"In a dammit madhouse, General!"

“It was for your sake, understand it once”

“For mine or for yours?”

“You could end up worse”

The severe look that had always characterized him, there was Thunderbolt Ross 

“You could end up in prison”

“For helping an innocent man? for that reason?!”

“Ah ... your innocent man, are you talking about the man who abandoned you?”

“You made him do it, you made him a fugitive”

“Yes, I certainly did, but now where is he? Or is it true ...” 

Ross showed on his cell phone a lot of videos, news, interviews with Dr. Banner also known as Hulk.

“Now everyone loves him, he is no longer a fugitive Betty” He held her face with his right hand Let him continue watching 

“Now he is an avenger, he forgot you, everyone did it, except me”

Betty's sight began to blur

The anger, the pain, the rage, the drugs were all colliding

 “Let me out of here 

Let me out of here! 

LET ME GET OUT OF HERE!” 

A fit of hysteria and despair. She got up to her father, she wanted to slap him, the doctors, nurses and everyone who crossed her path, cross the door and flee from that place.

But the doctors, as in every visit from her father, were always by her side to hold her, sedate her and put a straitjacket on her if she did not control herself.

“Here you are safe Betty, I am the only one who cares about you, believe me when I tell you that this is for your own good, here you are safe” her father kissed her head when the injection had already taken effect “Now sleep” he gave them an authoritative look at those who held her “Take her, and give her this” he said handing them a couple of books

Betty loves to read

I am the only one who cares about you

 The only one who has not forgotten you

 I do this for your good

 "I love you"

 That last word she heard was not said by her father on that visit, or on a recent one, perhaps the first few times, but that "I love you" that she heard also seemed to be Bruce's voice, it was difficult to know, anyway. She hadn't heard an "I love you" in a long time, but her mind insisted on remembering it.

She blamed the human need to feel loved.

However, it was a combination of voices, a bad joke from her unconscious towards her, after all she could barely remember his voice.

The words kept reverberating inside her as she sobbed without tears, long ago she had stopped crying, somehow she tried to find comfort in those words, to feel important in them, she knew it was a lie but she had no more to hold on to, she was there , locked up against her will after helping Bruce escape. The giant monster who saved Harlem, but he was still a fugitive at that time and she had helped him

 "Don´t ever speak to me as your daughter again"

 "It´s only because you´re my daughter that you´re bot in handcuffs too"

 And He was right, the doctor's face was everywhere, she had been looked for, they had seen her with the monster, many thought that she controlled it, many thought that she was behind everything, the work doors for Dr. Ross were closed , she was fired from the university, no one was hiring her, she started taking small jobs, the pay was getting lower and lower, she had a hard time, the calls to court kept coming, Ross knew they would want to question her and arrest her, he knew that Betty would not would testify against Banner, she would not deny that she would have helped him, that she would continue to advocate for him, It was only a matter of time before he fled, his daughter was going to become a fugitive like him

 The daughter of a general could not be a fugitive

 "Dr. Elizabeth Ross was declared with a mental disorder, so that all of her actions were not in a conscious way, the trial is postponed and she will automatically be sent to a psychiatric hospital"

 Here you will be safe

It's for your good

 I love you

 Lies, they were all lies

 "I am the only one who does not forget you"

 But this

 "He forgot you Betty"

And this ... maybe not or they were at all ...

.

Her eyes were opened

Her father was gone

 The tv was on

 “Betty, how are you feeling?”

“... I'm Dr. Ross”

“Okay Dr. Ross, I'm a doctor too, I'm Dr. Palmer, how do you feel?”

 Stop talking to me like I'm not understanding

 The television was heard in the background

 “... Bad ...”

“Is there anything I can do for you?”

 Get me out of here

Give me back from my life

 “No...”

"Okay," she got up. "I'll see you again in the morning. Do you want me to turn up the volume on the TV?"

 <<The avengers saved the day again in New York City, Captain America along with his team, Iron man, Black widow, Thor Hawk eye and the hulk ...>>

 And still despite everything

She couldn't stop reproaching herself

That something inside her made her happy that he was a hero

But at what cost?

Who did she have to leave behind?

I'm glad you liked Scream 5, but too bad All of Us are Dead isn't working out for you again. Are you going to try and finish it or just drop it now? I haven't seen Happiness, just saw eveyrone's lovely gifs of the main couple. It's good to know it isn't too scary, I might pick it up when I'm looking for something different to watch. I have a few IRL friends who's seen Happiness and liked it, too.

I feel Jirisan became a victim of its own hype, and I don't blame them with the cast, writer and director... I think people expected a lot more out of it. I did love the main couple, too. I really wish they went all in and made an angsty gothic love story out of their circumstances, with his soul being trapped in the mountain keeping them separate. But like you, I really did enjoy Jirisan. I liked the slice of life aspect of the rangers, and seeing all the different sort of things they deal with.

You're right, Inspector Koo is definitely Weird^TM. I'm not sure I can say it was as weird as the School Nurse Files, but they give off the same energy. The only diff for me is I understood what's happening with Inspector Koo, when to this day I still don't understand what the heck was happening in School Nurse Files. I enjoyed Jung Yu-mi and Nam Joo-hyuk there though!

Whoa this message is getting long. To close off, what do you say do you look for in a drama? —🧚🏻‍♀️💖

hey im sorry it took me so long to reply, i was pretty busy this weekend.

i think i've decided to drop AOUAD for now, maybe if there's a second season i could see myself trying again. But i've recently watched train to busan so my zombie needs are fine.

you're completely right about jirisan being a victim of its own hype, i also believe that. I feel like because ive never finished a KEU drama before (even signal...) I wasn't that hyped, but i was hyped for JJH and JJH together, that's very true. They should be in a romcom asap. God, if they went all in it would be so good, right? It had the potential to be way more angsty and I love suffering.

yeah, School Nurse was something that happened and to this day I can't say why or what. But such a fun show, i liked it a lot too.

In dramas it depends, if i'm watching one of the popular shows, I look for that thing that made me fall in love all those years ago: the over the top plots, the things that would never happen irl but works in the show. but most of the time i like how the drama formula is actually a good thing, for me it feels like reading a romance (even when the drama isnt a romance per se) because things are always happening, but it also everything happens when it should happen, in a way that when the couple finally gets together, you're so invested in them and their lives (when it's done right) that it feels that the moment was earned. i also like how much food and family is a big part of most dramas, i like that they take romance seriously, that they still do melo, and how they keep creating stories that makes no sense but it works. i'm brazilian, we mostly have telenovelas and even if i used to love them as a kid and i still watch some eventually, i always suffered bc there was not a variety of genres... and even with american tv, i just hate that series dont end. I always told my friends my favorite thing about dramas, in general, is that they end, that's why netflix is my detested now. I love that they get to tell a story and the story is over and that's it!!! omg that was a lot.

what about you, valentine, what do you like in dramas? which one is your favorite? hope you have a nice week!!
