y’all are losing your damn minds please pull it together

Cardamon, as a character, truly expresses the childhood desire to both be respected and be treated like a kid

He wants people to listen to him and value his opinion, but he also wants people to care about the fact that he is a kid who needs help and shouldn't be doing any of this.

I remember feeling that way as a kid.

I think cardamon is the most well written child character I've ever seen.

#bee and puppycat #obviously im biased #but man so many shows write children like they dont understand anything ever and never try to #or they just write little adults #but its neither #kids should NOT be treated like adults #kids should ALWAYS be treated like people #cardamon #every scene hes in makes me wanna cry

[itty-bitty-sunshine]

That's one way to find you the children you helped that disappeared for months are still alive ig. Welcome to fatherhood

Bonus:

Idk how canon it all is yet but the idea of having two robot dads on the run being pulled by their new children to this random man's doorstep is rlly funny to me

look obviously i don’t know the guy but i feel like 2009 rick riordan would fist fight 2024 rick riordan

#or at least send him a strongly worded email like he did to the production of the movies #my man you already wrote the story #the movies committed the sin of sexing up his children’s story #now the show is committing the sin of removing the story’s spirit #if that sounds dramatic to you. same but once i thought about it? yeah. #i rly fucking hope disney is more to blame than rick but the show is not automatically above criticism bc rick is involved #and i am just being silly with this post but i am itching to post my own critiques #i have been rb’ing critiques i agree with so i won’t repeat those but i have points of my own to make #percy jackson #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo show crit #percy jackson disney+ #percy jackson and the olympians #rick riordan #ris raves

Bridgerton is one of my comfort shows mostly bc I think its so funny that the Bridgerton family is just the worst they're all deeply unlikeable insufferable people and watching each of them find love despite how utterly horrible they all are gives me hope

#im rewarching the show rn and GOD #daphine if i met you irl itd be on SIGHT #the man told you #he couldn’t give you children #so if you married #you wouldn't get children #and you were like fine unhappy but you love him #the second you found out it was a person's choice you do that to him #no nope no #also i just found out that gregory names all his children after his siblings #which i am choosing to believe means #the whole bridgerton family is wiped out in the great fire of london #leaving Gregory the soul surviver #do not correct me if im wrong #this is what im choosing to believe

I did him (I have to redesign his face).

#hazbin hotel critical #hazbin hotel critical adam #he had so much character and angst potential for being the first man created and seeing all his descendants crawl to sin hopelessly #And being the one in charged to executing them #I wish that was explored while still mainting that harsh and jerk side of his personality #However instead of being crude he more witty and subtle #You know what i mean #Ugh #Love you the Adam in my headcanon #also gave him some wrinkles and mature features since well he is literally a dad who had his son murder his other son #made me think why did the show never ever mention his children?!??? #WHERES CAIN WHAT ARE CAINS FEELINGS ABOUT ALL THIS??? #hazbin hotel redesign #hazbin hotel adam

As long as young people have no recourse, resources, or autonomy, infantilization will continue to be a political strategy in order to control marginalized folks. Because young people are seen as literal property, it is a useful tool to apply that logic to other groups even if they are not children - when an adult is infantilized it is not only a revocation of their autonomy and personhood, but is a reminder that so long as there is a way to utterly control somebody, it will be utilized no matter if it "makes sense"

#politics #youth liberation #as a trans man specifically when i am infantilized it is because that person integrally sees me as forst and foremost property and that is.. #...not unlike the way they would see children. that is such a HUGE tell to me because it shows that there is a group of people who... #...are (or ought to be) completely owned and possessed... #...when i have been infantilized it was because i wasn't seen as an equal human being... #...and realizing WHY that was being done changed how i thought about this

Can u imagine? In infinity nikki, we re probanly gonna get animated cutscenes, in 3d, of the fucked up things that happen in nikki games. War and destruction are a core part of the lore of nikkiverse, so seeing nothing of the sort would be odd...... also the contrast between cutesy dress up visuals and a child dying in front of nikki would be amazing to see lol

#ik we wont see this in infinity nikki cuz. even big boy war shooters dont show children dyin on screen #neither did sn but we sure did get a description of it #visual novels can get away much more easily with gruesome happenings #idk im still expecting some fucked shit to happen in infinity nikki though. its tradition man. #and seeing it animated would be awesome #infinity nikki #shining nikki

This is a very very unfinished thought but I've been thinking a lot as I reread the books about how the women of House of the Dragon don't really get catharsis and how that'll likely be worse in S2. Say what you want about asoiaf but a number of named women there experience catharsis.

They kill their abusers (Lysa, Cersei, Dany). They regain some agency after a violation (Lysa, Cersei, Lady Stoneheart, Dany), and they refuse to forgive the people complicit in their subjugation (Lysa, Cersei, Dany, Lady Stoneheart, Jeyne Westerling).

Obviously, three or four isn't enough in such an expansive cast of characters but the point remains that they claw back their autonomy however they have to. They're allowed to be angry, bitter, unforgiving and cruel to their abusers in a way women in House of the Dragon just aren't allowed. They're allowed grief, grief that is violent and destructive.

The women of House of the Dragon don't get angry. They stand around and stare plaintively at the camera, they cry prettily, and they plead for peace and non-violence. They suffer and suffer and suffer and there's no relief.

#although dany doesn't really set out to kill her abuser #in fact she doesn't really think of him as her abuser #but the fact remains that her story begins with his death #she gains her dragons and agency through his death #lysa murdering jon arryn #lysa not going to riverrun when hoster is on his deathbed despite cat's letters #she denies him relief for his crimes against her and it's one of my favourite moments in asoiaf #cersei killing robert #cersei eating robert's children taking back reproductive autonomy from the man that hurt her #lady stoneheart turning her grief and pain onto the riverlands #she hangs freys boltons and lannisters uncaringly #it's a failing of the storytelling because this is supposed to be the feminist retelling of the dance #but instead the misogyny that leads up to the dance has been defanged. #the point of the show has been obscured behind endless arguments of the supposed illegitimacy of rhaenyra's first three children #the women fighting for power have been replaced by evil men perched on their shoulders telling them to do bad things #they're helpless victims carried along by the stream of inevitability #or something idk #also i am not including alicent trying to take luke's eye and injuring rhaenyra as cathartic because they are not the cause of her sufferin #house of the dragon #not asoiaf thoughts #daenerys targaryen #lysa arryn #cersei lannister #lady stoneheart #alicent hightower #rhaenyra targaryen #helaena targaryen #rhaenys targaryen

AU, mermaid Draco.

Harry, as the son of minor nobel, is invited to the circus. Then he falls in love at first sight.

The first meeting begins with:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our new acquisition, the merman!"

Some time later, it ends with:

[askthestans]

Ford, are you aware your brother has 10 guns hidden around the shack?

Stanley: Shh, don't let Poindexter overhear ya! He's gonna kill me if he finds out-

Stanford: *Walking into the room, preoccupied with a demonic owl chick of some sort that's currently sleeping in his hair.* Ah, Stan, I see you're answering another ask from our blog. What's this one about?

Stanley: N-nothin'! *Switches to another internet tab quick.* Nothin' at all, don't worry about it, it's a question for me. Totally boring.

Stanford: Oh, really? *Raises brow.* Then why did the question start with 'Ford'? You know, my name?

Stanley: Uh...

*Stan glances around and starts to sweat bullets. How best to distract Ford? Then Stan grins. He knows just the trick.*

Stanley: Ya know... a more important question to ask, is... is the Patterson-Gimlin film legit?

Stanford: *A very intense, serious expression carves through his face. It's the face of a man with a strong opinion and just the right amount of ire to defend it, perhaps fueled by years of arguments over this very same exact question; a look akin to what someone on Twitter pulls right before they decide compassion and humanity is overrated, and being right is more important as they begin to rage-smash their keyboard.* Stan, I'm glad you asked. Because I think you're smart enough - and spent enough years as a conman - to know the difference between something real and something faked. The Patterson film is real, and I, Dr. Stanford Filbrick Pines, the world's greatest paranormal scientist and cryptozoologist, will die on this hill.

Stanley: Yes, exactly! *Stan looks relieved that the distraction worked.* Of course I agree. I mean, why wouldn't I? You tell 'em, Ford! Tell the world how legit the Patterson film is. Preferably in a different room than this one with your, uh... *Stan looks at the demonic owl chick sleeping in Ford's hair.* Whatever that is.

Stanford: *Smugly petting said demonic owl chick.* Hm, a better idea would be to utilize our ask blog to educate the populace on supernatural concepts such as this. I always wanted a platform to extend my knowledge to the world. I mean, teaching math to a whale was impressive enough, but imagine the paranormal knowledge I could spread with the power of the internet! *He chuckles.* Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson better watch out, because a new popular scientist in media is in town. Stan, for the sake of knowledge, I'm going to need you to let me borrow our blog laptop for the afternoon.

Stanley: *Sweating bullets again.* W-what!? Not right now, Ford! You can have it later when I'm done with this one question. Just... gimme a little bit longer-

Stanford: Science cannot wait, Stanley. Hand it over.

Stanley: Alright, fine! Just lemme type somethin' quick and- h-hey!

Stanford: *Ford takes the laptop away from Stan and starts walking off with it.* Great, you already have the ask blog up. Time to...

*Ford sees the question about the ten guns in the Shack. He pauses.*

Stanley: Ford! Ford, I can explain... just let me... just hand the laptop back over and we can forget-

Stanford: *His voice cold.* Ten guns, Stan? Ten of them?

Stanley: It's... it's not what you think!

Stanford: Stan, you do know Dipper and Mabel live here in the summers, right? And you're telling me that you have ten guns around the Shack?

Stanley: Ford, just... *His expression turns defiant and mad.* Yeah, you know what? I've got ten guns! What of it!? Go ahead and judge me, Poindexter! You've always been good at that, haven't ya!?

Stanford: *Eyes narrowing.* Oh, I'm judging you, all right. Stan, I'm sorry, but I have no choice other than to host an emergency family meeting. We need to discuss this with Dipper and Mabel immediately. They must know about this. And then we can rectify this dangerous matter.

Stanley: Ford, really, it's fine, we don't need-

Stanford: *His voice ringing through the whole Shack.* Family meeting! Family meeting!

Three hours later...

*Stan, Ford, Dipper, Mabel are in the living room of the Shack at the dining table, where they usually host their family meetings. Stan looks more pissed than he has all day, Dipper looks nervous and confused, Mabel looks excited, and Ford is standing up by a chalkboard on wheels, multiple rules written on it, and he looks quite pleased.*

Stanford: Now, one final time, let's repeat the Pines family gun rules before this meeting comes to an end.

Stanley: Sweet Moses, Ford, isn't this overkill?

Mabel: Don't listen to Grunkle Stan! I am 1000% on board with all of these rules. *She pets the demonic owl chick that was sleeping in Ford's hair earlier and gives it a cheese flavored chip to eat.* Nice job, Grunkle Ford!

Dipper: I think Grunkle Stan has a point, though. Grunkle Ford, no offense, but-

Stanford: No buts! Now, repeat the rules, everyone!

Dipper, Mabel, and Stanley: *Stan and Dipper looking both annoyed, and Mabel looking very amused, they repeat the rules aloud in unison.*

Rule one, whenever a cryptid, government agent, evil being, or any kind of potential enemy of the Pines family comes to the door, carry a gun.

Rule two, everyone living in the Shack shall keep a gun or similar weapon by their bed at night in the case of a nighttime supernatural emergency.

Rule three, do not be afraid to brandish a gun whenever anyone asks too many questions about Stan's criminal past, Ford's research and/or interdimensional criminal past, or threatens to hurt Dipper or Mabel, either their feelings or physically.

Rule four, all members of the Pines family and their employees must be trained to use at least three different kinds of weapons.

Rule five, there must never be less than thirty guns hidden in the Shack at all times, preferably two per room and three per bedroom. Ten is not enough, no matter what Stan claims.

Rule six, when in doubt, Ford has the last say on anything related to weaponry and defense related matters in the Shack. Or else.

Stanford: Very good. Does anyone have any objections? Wait. *He chuckles deeply.* No, of course you don't, because these rules are forged from hard-earned lessons from the three decades I spent in the Multiverse, and they make perfect logical, ethical sense and are foolproof from accidents. Don't worry, I'll make sure all of these guns are kept in protective, cheap plastic cases.

Dipper: And here I thought living in the Shack every summer was crazy enough already. *He sighs and lets his head drop to the table.* Seriously, this is dumb.

Mabel: Grunkle Ford, why are you so badass and cool!? Grunkle Stan never let us use any guns last summer!

Stanley: Gee, I wonder why? *He sighs, then goes back to typing on Stan and Ford's shared laptop they use to answer blog questions.* Thanks, asker, for askin' about the ten guns I had around the Shack. I'll have you know that all of this is your fault.

#gravity falls #stanley pines #stanford pines #stan pines #ford pines #dipper pines #mabel pines #askthestans #ah good old Ford handing children weapons because he hasn't been in this dimension for a really long time #and his protective cheap plastic cases #what you thought Ford wouldn't insist on more guns? #dude's a paranoid man with many enemies and we all saw how he always carries one on him all the time and one on his dresser in the show #also more of Mabel taking after Ford in a way and Dipper taking after Stan in a way is always fun

[digitalafterlife]

the girl who waited (episode) is pure existential horror, tempered by the tragedy of the passage of time.

jaded amy. old amy, battle-worn amy, embittered amy, weathered amy. cold hardened unrecognising eyes. thirty six years. thirty six years in a containment facility alone. solitary confinement. facing grim reality with nothing but your wits, nothing but the faintest hope of some semi-mythical men from a distant past coming to rescue you, princess in the tower a second time. not this time. you forge weapons. you fight. you force yourself to forget. and then out of the blue, that bloody, bloody distinctive shade of blue, comes his voice, cheery as ever, spouting technobabble, cracking puns, all with that sickening babytalk – wibbly-wobbly bibbety bobbity boop. promised you a dream and gave you hell, hell, hell again, your beloved's death, your beloved's death, traps, paradoxes, a daughter, a daughter who was never there, a daughter who was never yours to raise, a childhood best friend that you'd never met, a life you never got to live. he dropped out of the sky and burnt up your world over and over and over, displaying something like a true exhilaration, something like amusement while he's doing it. and now when there's nothing left, no stars to explore (they're all flaming balls of dead matter) no planets to discover (they're crawling with dread and disease and pollution and war) his carefree tone cuts through the stillness announcing – we've come to save you, little girl. it's only been a blip for us, a glitch, an oopsie, locked on a bit too late, sorry rory.

these men brought you to purgatory and left you there. and now one of them's back (wearing the other's voice on his eyes, the omnipresent voice of your cruel god) your husband from the life before, unchanged, un-aged, same as you last saw him. you haven't been touched by another living soul in thirty six years and he's grabbing your arm.

who are these men, now strangers to you both, one frozen in youth, another ancient? here, the other one: on the screen, ever unchanging, ever friendly, that knowing gaze. they both promised you a universe, then allowed it to narrow to the size of a cage. you're not plastic like your dear "husband" had been all those millenia he spent "waiting". you're not a mysterious transtemporal entity. you're alive, you're human, so much more human than these aliens standing in front of you now, and you've felt every moment, every agonising moment, every hour, every year of your indefinite sentence. isolated. alone

that glowing gadget in your hand? it's a probe. sonic probe. because in a world with no wonder left, we refer to objects by their proper names.

#i don't know what this became. i'm just horrified a little bit #this is how everybody must feel. your world is collapsing and this little man. this little man with a spring in his step thinks it's FUN. #a puzzle to crack for him. a mystery to solve. all aha!-s and eurekas #sorry for overthinking your plot hole ridden children's tv show #amy pond #the girl who waited #doctor who #jamie catches up #dw #rory williams #eleventh doctor #matt smith #doctor who meta #doctor who series 6 #jamie.txt
