something I love about hilson is that (at least within the show), nobody ever tried that “they have a brotherly bond” BS. because pretty much every queercoded pairing from that era has said something along the lines of “you’re like a brother to me”. but not them!! they were always like “yeah I’m violently attracted to you and think we should fuck…./srs.” yes they were repressed but at least they were REAL about it

#it would’ve been SO easy for them to play off their ‘more than platonic’ dynamic as a brotherly thing. but they never did #a lot of the sacrifices they make for one another are things you would only do for family #but the show was consistently like ‘yeah they are family! in the sense that they’re married and desire each other carnally.’ #it’s so refreshing after my destiel phase fighting off the ‘ur like a brother to me cas’ allegations 😔😔 #house md #hilson #house/wilson #gregory house #james wilson #greg house #hatecrimes md #edit: the incest freaks found this. stay AWAY from me

Martha definitely doesn’t need her own Doctor like Rose or Donna but…an apology? A mention? Some acknowledgment of her existence? That’s all I ask.

#doctor who #martha jones #begging for crumbs and still got nothing #the giggle #they were literally at UNIT it would’ve been so easy to just mention her #it’s just blatant at this point #Martha deserves better

I have conflicted feelings about the FNAF series in general, but seeing a movie where practical animatronic puppets are the primary focus of the film becoming not only financially successful but also well received by general audiences is pretty damn neat.

#five nights at freddy's #fnaf #fnaf movie #jim henson #halloween #the animatronics look genuinely so good #not only are they extremely faithful to the video game designs #but they also have such a great range of emotion and expression #the horror aspect of them isn’t overstated too much either #like so many horror puppets especially in the 2000s/2010s were very… in your face about the fact they were horror monster #like with a lot of grime and low saturated palettes and such #Idk I think horror puppets are better when they look kinda superficially not scary until they’re placed in the right context #like it would’ve been very easy to make the fnaf animatrocis look quote on quote realistic and grimy and obviously unsubtly horror-y #but they actually look like kids animatronics #like there are creepy aspects #like how tall they are or thier uncanny animatronic movements #but for the most part they literally do just look like chuck e cheese esque animatronics #thier creepiness has actual subtly #they’re endearing when they want to be and terrifying when they need to be #just very solid designs overal

Can I just say? I love the way The Librarians shows that Eve is extremely competent.

The way she manages to slip away, catch all the enemy scouts, take them out, and still keep enough of an eye on her charges that she’s not even that disoriented when she steps out of the museum in the pilot

That she not only sends Ezekiel back to return the necklace he stole, she also notices and returns the other one he was trying to keep in the second episode

In fact, she pretty much always notices when Ezekiel is stealing without (her) permission

And I’m pretty sure he only steals from her once and considering how not surprised she is by this I’d venture to say she was aware of his actions even then

The way her steps are absolutely silent in the haunted house

The casual tracking in both And the Hollow Men and And the Fangs of Death

The fact that she’s the one to figure out how to handle a torpedo launch and run away sub in And the Rise in Chaos when that’s clearly not even her department

The casual fluency in several languages when shits just going down (that no one ever comments on???)

The fact that they always always always refer to her as Colonel

And that’s not even touching on her tactical/combat experience/ability because y’know, Guardian, kind of implied

#eve baird #the librarians #look this just #it makes me so happy #it would’ve been easy to just ignore her as the muscle #instead they show her so much respect #which is just #not at all what I’ve come to expect from basically anything that isn’t Star Trek #there’s a reason this show has immediately become a comfort show for me

whoever decided to animate baby saiki as looking carefree and happy before his brother called him a monster owes me 100k for therapy bills.

#It would’ve been so easy to just give him the bored expression he usually has but by doing this its confirmed that he used to be happy #I mean there’s other stuff that confirms that more directly but thats what stuck with me most #saikiposting #saiki k

it’s the way Will could’ve easily just said “you’re the heart and we need you” but nooooooo he had to specifically say that without Mike everyone would fall apart at the very start of the climaxing episodes of the penultimate season of a goddamn narrative 😭

#will true sight byers at it again #it would’ve been so easy to just. but word it like that #that’s way too specific of a choice #Michael u are SCREWED ur bf confirmed it #byler #mike wheeler #byler van scene #byler tumblr #elli talks will byers #but also #elli talks mike wheeler

i just feel like i have to talk about this because i really love how they handled sangtae’s character. he was clearly written to be the main antagonist that’s keeping yongpil and samdal apart, and even to the point where holding onto this grudge for over 20 years sound almost unreasonable. however, i think it’s a great portrayal of grief and how it can ultimately consume you.

everyone deals with grief differently, and i saw a great post explaining how ko mija and yongpil handling the grief around sangtae made it even worse for him. the plot kept circling back to him being too stubborn to ease up on the hate that i began to wonder if they were going to be able to solve it well enough. but episode 14 delivered because while it was almost getting frustrating seeing sangtae relentlessly not listening to everyone around him, by adding the fact that due to his failing vision and memory, he’s afraid of letting go of this grief. which really ties in to the beginning of the episode between yongpil and samdal, when yongpil was saying how he’s afraid of forgetting samdal. by showing how similar yongpil and sangtae loves, makes it hard to truly hate him (even if he’s a stubborn old man) because our main character is exactly the same way.

but i especially love the way they wrote samdal talking to him. it tied it up so neatly that i can’t help but be impressed. by having her say word for word what he told bu mija a long time ago, after he visited her at the temple, made it seem like it was bu mija telling him that. and i think it was something he really really needed to hear. the actor did an AMAZING job at portraying the realization that he really doesn’t hate samdal, and he was too caught up in his grief that he didn’t realize other people were suffering too. so when he ran after her and seeing yongpil standing next to her,,,, bro TEARS

i just really appreciate how they handled his character because he’s not a bad person—he’s in pain and he doesn’t realize his actions are hurting people he cares about because,, he just happened to really love his wife. and the catharsis of having samdal being the reason to free him from his grudge when he was the one that deliberately kept our main couple apart just shows the intricate relationships of these families but how, at the end of the day, they still care for each other

#welcome to samdalri #.txt #i think it was great #i do hope to see sangtae ans ko mija have their proper resolution #but damn #i was in TEARS it was so good #i also love that he used to dote on samdal and the whole flashback with him and bu mija #it really rounds him out as a character #because it would’ve been so easy to just cut him off and make him seem like the bad guy until the very end #none of this excuses his actions but he’s literally a boomer parent HDHFJFJD it’s so accurate i cant even complain

something that pisses me off in RA is that Flanagan will occasionally hype up Pauline as this super important and prominent figure in Will’s life, even treat her as a proxy for the mother he never knew, and yet will just refuse to show it beyond the like. two or three (personal) conversations that they have in canon. I get that he was attempting to make her an important person in Will’s life but why not do that by actually making her an important person in Will’s life

#hey Flanagan I hate to tell u but just because she’s married to Will’s father figure does not automatically make her his mom figure #what REALLY annoys me is how easy it would have been for him to connect her & will #like hey. if only there were a pretty clear gap in Will’s education that halt couldn’t fulfill - say for example mmmm diplomacy? #(​cause we all know how gifted halt is at conflict resolution) #then he’d have a valid reason to seek out a master of diplomacy for lessons in negotiating compromises & treaties #but no I guess not. Will’s just naturally good at diplomacy despite never really being exposed to it #yk what extra sucks? #if Pauline HAD taught will about treaties & stuff then him receiving the last name treaty wouldve been 1000x more meaningful #it would’ve spoken to her influence on him and solidified her as a sort of parental figure in her own right #AND as an extra extra bonus: if she came to the cabin to teach will about negotiation tactics and such #then we could’ve gotten more halt/Pauline interactions. as in: we could’ve actually seen them being in love ON SCREEN instead of just being #told that they loved each other #will could’ve had a chance to see how much the two of them mean to each other. and then he would’ve had some actual basis for a speech #at their wedding or whatever #but yeah no why do that when we can just imply that will & Pauline got super close off screen? same effect right????? #ranger’s apprentice #pauline dulacy #halt o’carrick #will treaty #I love these books so so much don’t get me wrong. but there are just some things…… #anyway. #jackie rambles

no it’s like how if you saw someone who literally looked like your brother you wouldn’t be attracted to them.

#my bad for giving you the grace of thinking you were genuinely confused. #you could’ve just looked at the ‘go away’ and went away. it would’ve been easy #get blocked asshole #kral/sei shippers fuck off i literally hate you #Do Not Bother This Person. Obviously.

Variety doodles. Yeehaw. This au can fit so much angst and silliness in it-

#hollow knight #doodles #vigilante tiso #hk tiso #hk markoth #hk quirrel #hk monomon #hk herrah #hk lurien #hk marmu #hk ghost #mothmu #tisoquirrel #they are small doodles but the gay bugs are there. might do a bigger doodle dump of just them #me: huh i havent shaded in a while let’s slowly go back into it #also me: yeah this lineless full shade is a good idea- #marmu and tiso get separate godhome fights ghost has to do #but imagine if they had been in the same team like oro and mato. ghost would’ve been fucked #(until stubbornness perseveres) #godhome marmu was not easy for ghost. they still like auntie marmu but jfc why do you have a flail (because she should) #tiso n marmu hugging. should draw them sad about dads more >:) #siblins…

Scrolling tiktok and getting frustrated because I saw someone say “sometimes when I get tired (on the treadmill) I keep walking just to prove Orpheus was a slacker and I could have easily saved Eurydice” just say you don’t understand the point of a tragedy and move on

#the point!!! of the original myth!!! and hadestown!!! is not that I would’ve been so easy to not have happened!!! #but the point that it didn’t have to happen!!! but it was always going to happen either way!!! #in hadestown the song where Orpheus looks back is literally the fucking fates!!!! themselves!!!! putting the doubt in his head #he was always going to look back but it didn’t need to happen that way that’s what makes it a tragedy #orpheus and eurydice #hadestown #she had wait for me reprise as the sound in the background and like did you not watch the musical at all #greek mythology #madurday night live

Kind of find it irritating the way people argue that Ned was right to seek to remove Cersei’s bastards from the line of succession, but everyone should leave Rhaenyra’s bastards alone. Like I agree, they should, but I also think the only difference between Cersei’s children and Rhaenyra’s is Joffrey, for whom Tommen and Myrcella end up treated as collateral.

Like Cersei is just as entitled as Rhaenyra to have children with someone she actually wants to have children with, and the person Cersei was married to was an abusive partner - so of course she didn’t want Robert’s. Throwing Cersei’s children to the wolves to get Stannis on the throne is imo as bad as it is for Alicent/Vaemond/whoever to loudly question the Velaryon boys.

#so what was the solution??? not an easy one. but I think Ned would have best benefitted from keeping things fucking calm #and working WITH the Lanns to the best of his ability. and would that be difficult to do? yes. the Lanns have hardly done right by Ned #and he’s still in danger so long as he’s with them #but he KNOWS who Robert truly was and he knows what he was to Cersei. and also Ned…. Robert has killed kids and would’ve killed #ur nephew if he could’ve! there is no good fight here #the only fight left imo would’ve been to get Joffrey’s behaviour in check and hope for an olenna/littlefinger collab sooner rather than #later if that’s not going to plan #plus get Sansa out of there on some thin pretext my god

[castielsupernatural]

my hot take is that everyone needs to read a little samjody to normalize the fact that jody is like not that much older than them??

#she’s like a couple years older than dean. her kid was like younger than ben braeden if im remembering the timeline right #they could have made her an older sister figure that would’ve been easy #but instead they made it out like she was super old and mommyfied her???????

black velvet + poly cotton moth with burgundy stitching! on the hydrangeas in the garden. made from my sewing scraps and this pattern :)

#i realize now how easy drafting my own pattern would’ve been but this is my first soft sculpture and tbh the instructions made me more #confident in the future #also not based on any specific real moth! just what i wanted to stitch #chiara’s art tag #art #fiber arts #fiber crafts #soft sculpture #moths #moth #insects #bugs

Actually the fact that the Dufferino bros could’ve so easily done the shitty but classic move of putting El in the middle of the love triangle and having the tired drama of two best friends fighting over the same girl, but INSTEAD they put MIKE in the middle and had his best friend aka another boy as one of the love interests tells me all I need to know about how much respect they have for typical heteronormative tropes lol

#like it would’ve been so easy (though stupid) to put El in the middle of the love triangle it rlly could’ve #I’m so glad they didn’t this is way better #byler #willelmike #byler endgame
