allison chronic divorcee until renee confesses and they live happily ever after but this trope is not for the angst...its for the idea of putting the foxes in multiple weddings just andreil watching allison walk down the aisle and going "five months" "i say three" and renee being the only one who's super upset over these weddings but doesn't realize she has a chance (she's the only one who has a chance)

#allison loooooves having a wedding #its her vibe exactly #fun times cool dress up friends tgt #etc etc #the guy is just an accessory #r u getting me she's barbie he's just ken #she's like whatever ten months max maybe a year then im getting a divorce I don't like any of them for a lifelong settlement #and lowkey the dudes she marries know this also she's in it for the funsies #except some of them who are dumb and stupid and are actually heartbroken #anyway how many weddings do you think it will take for renee to either object #physically REPLACE the groom #or help alli plan their wedding for the last time #feel like this could eaasily be a 5+1 AU #oh i could write this #it could be so good #renee walker #allison reynolds #aftg #tfc #renison #neil josten #andrew minyard

i will always be the number one kairi kh4 relevance advocate bc you cant tell me that having a girl who 1. has connections to radiant garden and the apprentinort+variations gang that STILL haven't been explored much and 2. has been shafted by the plot for so long that they accidentally made her a direct parallel to luxu, the constantly watching and waiting new main antagonist of the games ISNT the most interesting concept waiting to be explored

#txt #kairi #kh #kingdom hearts #LISTEN. LISTEN. #if they actually agknowledged shes been treated like garbage and let that BE her arc. if they let that be smth she can have feelings abr #it could be so good

Spent much of tonight speculating with @capriceandwhimsy on how COOL you could make an Alpha Centauri franchise -- start with a movie, then go on to a TV show

The movie would be a prequel, telling the story of the Unity Expedition, because I think a 2 hour feature film would be the best format to introduce us to the setting, the background, and the seven vibrant personalities who will later go on to become the seven faction leaders. A movie would be just enough time to show us how the expedition fell apart, how the spaceship crashed and burned, with the closing shot of the life pods scattering as they fall to the surface of Planet.

Then the TV show starts.

Most likely, what you'd want is a setup where the story follows a plucky young lieutenant of a faction -- or a few, possibly they know each other. I think the narrative ball could pass itself fairly seamlessly among the University, the Morganites and the Peacekeepers; there's obviously some ideological tensions there, but they're generally able to put those aside for the greater goal of survival on a hostile world. Like yeah the University are all amoral ivory tower bastards and the Morganites want to recreate the same capitalist system that destroyed Old Earth, but on the other hand everybody is having to deal with the fucking mind worms.

(The Gaians will be there, but largely in the background; they're off Doing Their Own Thing and only occasionally reappearing to be weird and creepy and say vague ominous things about Planet that everybody else will discount because it sounds like frou frou nonsense.)

For once you'd actually have a great excuse to film the whole thing in the Mojave - just slap a pink/orange filter over the desert and boom, Alpha Centauri. You could have a lot of fun with the mindworms, especially with revealing the Isle of the Deep and the Locusts of Chiron in turn. But in the end, the main concern is other humans.

The main antagonists are going to be the Hive, the Spartans, and primarily in the first season, the Believers. Each of the three POV factions could have a subplot going on with at least one of those three. I think the Hive would largely be in the background for the first season except for some oblique Zakharov and Yang "old friend" style homoerotic tension. The Spartans are a potential problem, but they are also the strongest military force on Planet so there's a strong urge to try to court their favor. The Believers, however, are hostile and aggressive to pretty much everybody and will not stay in their own lane, so conflicts with them would escalate over season 1 until there's open war between the Believers and the main three.

Season 1 winds up in a pitched battle against the Believers, which finally end with Miriam sueing for peace, which the Peacekeepers would of course accept while Zakharov and Morgan fume in the background "Lal, are you insane, she is obviously going to attack again as soon as our back is turned" but he just can't make any other choice but to accept the peace treaty because it's everything he believes in.

Sure enough, the Believers immediately rescind on the treaty and gear up to attack again. And that's when the Gaians show up and wipe them out. With domesticated mindworms.

Season 1 ends on that particular Apple of Discord. Next up in season 2: the Human Hive!

Can't stop thinking, because I live for angst and drama, about Grant and the other Daddies pulling up to Grant's house because they figured out that's where Willy probably went, and just seeing cop cars and someone wheeling away a covered up body and Grant going absolutely FERAL and jumping out of the car before it's stopped to run and make sure his husband and son are okay-

The other Dads following and just finding a traumatized Linc, Normal, Taylor, and Marco. Terry just staring at the group and going "Where's Scary?"

I think Lady Blaze has the potential to be an iconic Captain Marvel villain on par with Black Adam or Mr. Mind. (not Dr. Sivana though, he'll always be the top dog.)

I'd say a lot of Cap's foes are so close to being beloved characters, but the problem is he doesn't have a real meaty adaptation that fully takes advantage of his world. He doesn't have a BTAS or a Spectacular Spider-man. When someone wants to know what Captain Marvel is all about, there's nothing you can point to and say "watch this". He needs some kind of long-form adaptation to give his foes a touch-up and bring them to a wider audience. Ideally a cartoon.

I absolutely 100% agree with you!

First of all Lady Blaze is such a cool villain and could be so iconic if she was given more chances to shine. Taking her from Superman’s rogues gallery and reworking her character as a Captain Marvel villain was an inspired choice and really breathed new life into her character, but DC writers just don't use her and I don't know why.

I also think you're right about the Marvel family needing their own show to really showcase their rich lore. Its intimidating to new potential fans (especially younger fans who would really connect with Billy as a character) to say the only way to get into his character is through years of (often older) comics or through the movies that are based on a version of the characters that a lot of fans didn't like.

And a cartoon would be the perfect medium! We could have the child like whimsy and the magic back! We could have long satisfying character arcs that make sense without having to worry about the child actors aging up so quickly (something that would have been a problem if they were going to make more Shazam films). And you could introduce so many of these really cool characters (both villains and not) and actually DO something with them.

I feel like right now a lot of Shazam stuff clings to the same 3 villains because no one wants to take the risk on trying to get people invested in a character no one remembers, which is a shame becausewe miss out on a lot of cool stories that way.

Long story short: we need a Shazam cartoon yesterday.

I see your "but what if Aziraphale and Crowley are walking separately in a hypothetical season 3 intro?" posts and I raise you, what if they start separate and the intro ends with them meeting up again?

I finished hellsing ultimate and it pissed me off so bad 😭 nothing in that show makes any senseeeeee. One of the most infuriatingly badly written things I've watched in a WHILE.

I'm gonna start 2001 today and see if maybe that story is better since it's not a retelling of the manga. I'm gonna be really sad if it also sucks because I luv these characters and the concept sooooo much.

My main problem w it is that nothing any of the characters do really has motivation or explanation and when they do its so poorly explained that they might as well have none.

But also the pacing is just generally poor (which is really inexcusable because there working with about 8.5 hours of screen time and there's 90 minute movies with better character development + pacing.) and the worldbuilding towards the end completely falls apart. Your telling me an entire army of Nazi zeppelins made it across the Atlantic to invade Britain and not a single other country noticed? No bombs? No missals? Not even a heads up to Britain? Also what the fuck was NATO doing, what the fuck was the British army doing? HOW DID THE VATICAN GET ITALY'S APPROVAL TO GO MURDER BRITISH CIVILIANS! Why did the entire rest of the US just let the capital be overrun and the president get turned into a vampire. I don't understand.

Don't even get me started on my questions about the characters. I have a bone to pick with some decisions made in the last fucking episode regarding Alucard + Walter but that can probs wait.

there's ways to make this story work and it could be sooooooooooo good. It's like. The stakes either need to be lower (nazi takeover in a yugoslavian state - boom. it works w/ the Nazis motivation too because historically there murder/pillage campaigns were in Eastern Europe because they really really really didn't like the Slavs fun fact. ) or if it had more players (at the very least the British military, but probably more like a shit ton of NATO soilders.) and if you don't like the idea of a military thriller THAN DON'T SET IT IN 1999. That wouldn't fix everything but then at least the final battle would make sense and the plot would work. Ughhh Who knows maybe my anger at this will get me back into writing - I doubt it though lolz

Honestly, Kamila´s new free skate feels like such a sad waste of potential.

The music mix is pretty, the skating is stunning, I absolutely love the footwork, and it would be such an interesting performance, if it werent for the blatant, disgusting, emotional exploitation of a sixteen year old´s trauma.

Side note but I think that egirl has so much potential as this wonderful intersection of bimbocore, scene, goth, and nerdcore, and I think that gets undervalued a lot

While we’re on the topic of Mandalorian culture, I want to address some things.

In Legends, Mandalorians are such a complicated and nuanced people, with a rich culture.

The Mando show seems shallow in comparison. The writers had such a good opportunity to add some of these elements to the story, but they didn’t. It’s like Moff Gideon said,

“A Mandalorian without their trinkets is nothing.”

And in some way that’s true. The writers built a really compelling culture on its own, but it seems shallow compared to what it could be.

Food for thought.
