Episode one - the Yankee Dodge
Loved the the middle daughter oneshot.
can i request Jack Dawkins x Belle's older sister!Reader story (I have not seen any sister!reader) same thing as the oneshot instead of Belle being sick, the reader is. Reader is strong-willed, smart and stubborn as Belle, and Belle being a concerned sister to Reader, almost mothering her. Of course, Jack being an overprotective lover. I just want the story to stay the same way as the The Artful Dodger series is, just following the story only replacing Belle with Reader
A/n: I will do this as a long series following each episode per part. ❤️❤️
Tumblr media
You follow your youngest sister into Belle's bedroom, Fanny jumped seeing her in the plague mask.
"Don't do that!" She gasped. You laugh from behind her.
"What?" Belle took the mask off and dropped it on her desk.
"Whatever that is." Fanny huffed, you passed behind her and slid onto the chaise lounge.
"You stormed in on me." Belle reminded her sister.
"What's that ungovernable stench?" Fanny scrunched up her nose. You started to lose interest in their conversation, a tightening of your chest took your attention.
"Your perfume?" Belle joked, "No, it's ether. The new Lancet reports the most extraordinary thing. You can give the patient ether, and they don't feel a thing. I mean, you can perform surgery without pain. It means we could finally help-" she had turned to face you finally seeing you clutch at your chest. Both of your younger sisters came darting to your side.
"y/n, what is it? Do you need a doctor?" Fanny scrambled.
"No, no I'm fine. I just need to lie down." You rest back against the couch and close your eyes. Belle reaches behind you to loosen your blouse and corset. You breathed slowly as Fanny once more tried to get Belle to meet a suitor. She had long given up with you, at six and twenty you were already considered a spinster.
The afternoon was spent much the same. Your mother insisted you take a small walk around the gardens. That would clear your lungs and head in her opinion. It only formed to make your legs ache if anything.
Soon after Fanny had you all standing outside the door waiting for the suitor she had found for Belle. The pompous dandy slid out of the carriage and started resiting awful poetry. You had to stifle my laugh.
You walked down the staircase that afternoon daydreaming to yourself.
"Belle?" You whisper. She shushes you and pulls you against the wall to listen. Your mother was talking about a surgeon, a navel man. Belle had that hopeful look in her eyes that always made you feel sad. She wanted so much to help you, had dedicated her life to finding a cure for you. Even when the numerous doctors told you it was nothing and you'd be healthy soon you both knew different. The strange pumping of your heart kept Belle's nose in the medical texts. A plan was forming in her mind, you could see it.
Your mother and father ushered you both into the parlour were Mr Smales was sat reading. Fanny followed you all in. Lady Jane all but shoved Belle to the chair beside Smales and he began reciting more poetry to her. He asked if she'd like to play the harp, little did he know that it was only you who played the harp amongst your sisters. Belle had once played the violin but it had been years since she had picked it up.
My sister huffed and marched across the room. Your mother stopping her.
"talk to him about hospitals." She hissed.
This finally peaked her interest.
"Come, we're going to see the hospital. I've never been, and I've always wanted to. We should take Y/n as a chaperone." She sent you a grin. You followed her out to the carriage with Smales tottering along behind you both.
"Belle, what are you playing at?" You whisper to her.
"I just want to look at it." She grinned once more
As we rode along Smales kept trying to talk with her.
"do you like to dance?" He asked.
"No." Belle's voice was flat.
"Croquet?"
"Snore."
"Fox hunting?"
"Very much, no!"
"Oh. Why?"
"It's mindless, barbaric, and cruel." You interject. Smales turns up his lips at you.
"What about you? Chemistry? Geology?" Belle asks.
"Oh, yes. With the maps." Smales said animatedly.
"No, the rocks, but close."
You hear the Carriage rider urging the horse.
" Anatomy?" Belle continued.
"Poetry?" She suggested in a tired tone.
"Yes!"
"Yes! Anyone other than yourself and Wordsworth?" She groaned.
"Such as?"
The Carriage Rider shouts for someone to Move aside, but you all feel the tell tail bumping of someone going under the carriage.
Both you and Belle are quick to jump out. A young boy is on the ground his leg broken open with the bone protruding from his skin. The poor lad was screaming. As Belle checked the wound you kneel behind him and place his head in your lap, attempting to comfort him.
"Help! We need a doctor!" Belle called out.
"Okay. Um, you're okay. You'll be all right. You're doing great." You hold the boy's hand.
"Coming through, coming through! Here." A tall, thin man came rushing up with a leather bag.
"Thank God. I've put a tourniquet on." Belle explained.
" It's not tight enough. I need something to tighten it with. Um... " he looked around, Charlie, the boy whimpered. The doctor put a hand on his face, his fingers brushing yours.
" It's all right. I'm gonna sort you right out."
"Can you fix it?" You ask.
"I'll need to amputate."
" What about Bircher's procedure to save it?" Belle pulled his attention
"Miss, please."
"M'lady." She corrected him.
"To do that, I would need to drill into his leg bones, and insert pegs to knit them back together again. He would die of shock and pain." The doctor explained hurriedly
"Not if you take the pain with ether." Belle said. You shot your eyes between them.
"The Yankee Dodge? That is unproven." He bit back at her. As they argue you quickly run to your driver and speak with him before going back to the doctor.
"lift him into the carriage, he cannot stay in the street." You command him. The doctor looks up at you and nods. He scoops Charlie into his arms and you help get the child into the carriage. Your sister climbs in after you both and the carriage pulled away. The pair continued to argue with each other as Charlie squirmed on your lap.
"for goodness sake, will both stop your squabbling. This child will not be losing his leg today. You are the surgeon we have heard about and as such I assume you will be able to do the operation." You say commandingly.
"the prof does not allow it." The doctor finally admitted.
"well, we aren't going to the hospital." You smile as the carriage pulls to a stop.
"Why? He doesn't have much time." He looked out the door, "What are we doing here, you ridiculous woman?"
" This is the Governor's residence." You say.
"Oh, God. You're the Governor's daughters aren't you."
"yes. Belle go in and make sure the way is cleared." You tell your sister. She nods and runs off to the house.
"This is completely arrogant of you both." The doctor growled. "I can't perform an operation here. I need surgical equipment."
You turn round to him, causing the doctor to retreat back toward the carriage.
"there is no need to threat, Doctor. My sister has all the supplies you could need." You say with a finger in the middle of his chest.
"oh, hello looks like we're good to go." Fagin said pointing behind you.
The doctor and Fagin grabbed the boy by his legs and arms, carrying him into the house. Belle had her arms full of her equipment. You can hear your father and his guests beginning to descend the staircase.
"There's no time. We're gonna have to do it here. Set him down." The Doctor said.
" What?" You and Belle said together.
"It's not ideal... Fagin, clear that table. It's all right, Charlie. Okay, all right. It's all right."
In a moment of panic you stepped away from the doctor and addressed your father's guests.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The entertainment. For our main event, I have a very special treat for you." You look over your shoulder at the trio, "Dr. Dawkins will perform an operation, never been done before. Where an inferior cowardly surgeon might just simply remove the leg, Dr. Dawkins will make a thousand years of history by trialling surgery with no pain. The Yankee Dodge!"
A murmur of adoration waved through the crowd. The Doctor's eyes locked with yours for a moment. You nodded to him and he began his work. Fagin, the older man with him, tiptoed away from you all, up the stairs. You step closer to the table stroking Charlie's hair as he whimpers again. Dawkins lent closer to you and Belle.
"If I get hanged for this I'll haunt your every waking moment. I'll be that face you see in your nightmares and trust me, you will only have nightmares."
You can't help but smile.
"Do shut up and ether the patient." Belle quips. You stay at Charlie's head letting your sister address the crowd.
"Watch closely, everyone. As Dr. Dawkins anaesthetises the boy, takes his pain..."
"You're fine." Dawkins reassured the boy.
" ...and then operates with no sensation." Belle had a flare for the dramatics you thought to yourself.
Holding the either mask in his hand Dawkins spoke once more to Charlie, "Now, just breathe. There, we go. That's it. Good lad. Right."
The operation began
Belle was able to find an ivory stick to use as the pin for the bones. You had to admit he was impressive in his work. The crowd oohed and ahhed at his every movement. When he was done and the wound stitched Dawkins reached up to Charlie's face, " Now, ladies and gentlemen, can we rouse him from living death? Charlie? Come on, Charlie. Charlie. Come on, Charlie. Come on. Charlie. Charlie. Come on, Charlie boy."
You were all beginning to panic, your eyes flicking to your father's disapproving face.
"Don't cut me, Doc! I need me leg!" Charlie called out. You released the breath you were holding and smiled at the Doctor.
There is a moment where the room is in awe, every man and woman there thought to congratulate the Doctor until one woman spoke up. Her ruby necklace had been stolen from around her neck. You sighed, knowing instantly what had become of it. Captain Gaines began searching people. Your chest tightened and you put a hand on the table to steady yourself. The Doctor took hold of your arm.
"You all right?" He asked his professional concern showing.
"Yeah. Yes, it's just the ether fumes. Take me upstairs?" You say leaning into him.
" I've got you." He says beginning to lead you away.
"All right. I'm sure you won't mind if I search you?" Gaines says to Dawkins.
Belle steps between them, "Captain Gaines, move aside. My sister is not well. Move aside."
You pant and rest more of your weight on Dawkins. Gains reluctantly stepped aside allowing Dawkins to escort you upstairs to your room. Belle hot on your heels.
"Are you well? Who's your doctor?" Dawkins asked once in your room.
"Prof." Belle answered.
"Has he ever examined you?" He helped you to sit in a chair.
"He's too scared of my father to get it wrong." You say, your hand is still in his. Dawkins glances back at Belle.
"Take off your dress. I need to listen to your back. Take off your dress."
Belle comes over to help you remove your clothing until you were in only your bloomers and chemise. She grabbed a stethoscope from your table and handed it to Dawkins. The doctor sat behind you on the lounge sofa, placing the cold metal to your back.
"Now, just breathe steady. Just breathe with me. In," his voice is low and soft, his breath fanning over the back of your neck, "And out. Good. Again. In. Out. Okay. Gonna come around the front. Once again. In. Good, and out. In. Out."
Belle frowned, she knew what he was hearing.
"You're a common thief. Shall I call Captain Gaines now or later?" You say glancing back at him.
Dawkins drops the stethoscopes "No. No, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait." He runs to stop Belle from leaving the room, "Darius cheated me at cards. He's gonna take my hand if I don't pay him a ludicrous debt."
"Then pay him with your own money!" Belle argues.
"With what money? I get paid in pennies and thimbles." He is almost begging.
Footsteps can be heard down the corridor.
"You've got two options. I yell "guards" and you get hanged." You begin.
"Not ideal."
"Or you make my sister the first female surgeon and we keep your secret. That or the noose." The door knocks. "Well?"
" I'm thinking."
Part two soon.

I feel like people forget Time Lords are the same person across every incarnation.
like, ‘14’ even says that it’s not dying. Same memories, same thoughts about people, sometimes expressing something they can’t, not being able to say something they used to.
Think back to you 10 years ago.
You're probably a very different person now compared to then, but you're also not at the same time.
You probably talk differently now, you see the world differently, you might believe different things.
When The Doctor regenerates, that's the level of change that is done but in a few seconds instead of a decade.
Fundamentally you’re still the same person, and you’ve probably retained most of your core beliefs and interests, but you’ve also grown and learnt more about the world; altering many of your less integral values, and even possibly some of you more integral ones.
you could attribute it to a line from one of the novelisations, where the doctor attributes his lack of control over regeneration (and as we can imply, how bad of a post-regen situation he has) is because he didn’t pay enough attention in regeneration lessons.
I think for the Doctor it's like if you woke up and were suddenly 8 again, with all your 8-year-old impulses and personality and likes/dislikes, but your current memories.
The Doctor is always the Doctor. There's no "2nd Doctor" or "10th Doctor" or "14th Doctor." they're all the same person. Just because someone gets clobbered on the head and wakes up from the resulting brain damage knowing fluent German doesn't mean they disappeared and a new person took their place. His brain gets a shake-up, and his appearance changes, but it's still the same person all together.
I think all the media hype about the actors playing the role, and this weird regeneration for the 60th, kind of make it hard to remember that. For the Doctor, it's one continuous line of consciousness. 10 didn't die and wake up again with 13's memories, because there is no 10, there is no 13, there is only The Doctor. We number their faces but they're one person.
And it's confirmed by what he said immediately after the regeneration. He didn't say, "I'm alive!" or "How did I get here?" or something along those lines. He said, "I know these teeth." He realises that he's reverted to an earlier form, but he hasn't forgotten the intervening forms.
It seems to change not just from writer to writer, but Doctor to Doctor. 9 didn't seem to think of his 'death' as the end by any stretch. 10 considered them different people that shared memories, while 11 seemed to see more continuity and connection from incarnation to incarnation. 12 similarly was refusing to regenerate because he wanted to end it, a pointless position unless he saw 'the next Doctor' as still being him. 13 seemed to lean more towards the individual incarnation view, as she felt in necessary to say goodbye to Yaz.
And this is just the Doctor, a single Time Lord. We've seen extremes from literal dissociation from incarnation to incarnation with the One through Union (aka the collective, but that’s due to their condition), to Romana trying on new faces line a human would a new outfit, or how the monk tries to act like their past selves are different people to shift the blame and get away free from the consequences, or how six was post-regen
I just really don't like the idea of them being separate people, which unfortunately does seem to be RTD's interpretation from 10's line of regeneration feeling like dying, and a new man sauntering away. To me that devalues the idea of the Doctor being the same person from 1963 until today. They're the same person, who have been through the events of every single episode, and remember them and all the companions there travelled with.
If they were different people, them meeting former companions just doesn't have the same weight either. 10 for example becomes someone who just knows of Sarah Jane instead of being the same person who travelled with her.
But that doesn't mean it can't still be confusing when an old face returns. It's something that's never happened to the Doctor before, and perhaps it's something that he's never heard of happening to other Timelords either. So when it does happen he's very confused because he immediately knows who this new version of himself is, instead of having to go through the usual self discovery at the start of each incarnation.
I remember from an audio story (I think Sirens of Time), one of the Doctors (i say DOCTORS because time travel) said something along the lines of this: Take every trait of their personality is like a bar graph. Kindness, courage, alienness, anger threshold, etc. each have their own bar on the graph. Each regeneration is essentially the same personality but the bars could be altered with some traits more emphasized in a new face than the previous one.
Some examples of what I mean.
10 and 11 are examples of the alienness trait being skewed in opposite directions, where I feel Smith is more alien-like in his physical behavior than Tennant is. 12 and 13 still have this trait but it’s viewed more subtly through social interactions.
6 and 12 were less on the kindness scale but increased over time. 10, 11, and 13 seemed to have that kindness trait more emphasized.
Anger threshold /emotional control can get thrown multiple ways if a respective Doctor is impulsive and expressive vs bottling it up and letting it simmer. I feel like there are many examples to pull from off this alone.
There could be more obvious ones I’m missing but these spring to mind. I do like this interpretation since it lets you know it’s the same person but just aspects can be more emphasized than others across their different incarnations.
I like to think it’s just the same person at different points in their life - hell, we aren’t the same person at 18 that we are in our 30’s, or even the same person we are in our 40’s that we were at 30.
Life changes you, sometimes you’re goofy, sometimes you’re callow, and sometimes you’re stern. In DW terminology: you’re a quirky thief, then a person who has to kill everything they know, and then you become a person capable of finding some solace in life… then to a whole new person.
From the doctor’s point of view I believe they think they are the same person, they don’t differentiate between selves. Think of 12 near his start when 11 phoned Clara, he says he didn’t need to eavesdrop because it was him talking and that she looks at him but can’t see him.
Now this doesn’t mean the doctor doesn’t remember the traits each regeneration has, and this can manifest in their subconscious as talking to their different regenerations; but that’s no different than you talking to yourself in your head.
like, it’s even implied 14 will eventually become 15

What are you doing to me?
Pairing: Jake Seresin x Latina!reader
Summary: Since the first moment Jake laid eyes on you, you had his attention. Little did he know that you were going to change in every possible way he didn't see coming.
A/n: If you guys like this idea, I might even turns it into a series and add more into to fill in some blanks. I hope you guys do enjoy this!
Tumblr media
Maybe it was the way you spat fire when you argued. Or how you defend yourself from a man double your size and weight, but you had Jake amused and intrigued. "Go suck a fucking dick, pinché puto feo! (fucking ugly bitch)" You glared at the man, who didn't seem to get that you weren't interested. He was about to step in when he noticed Rooster moving behind you. A hand was placed on your shoulder as he held you back from attacking the man.
"The lady doesn't seem interested." Rooster stood tall behind you, ensuring he had a good hold on you. "I'm gonna advise that you turn and leave before things get ugly." He nodded at him, and the man, red with anger, left. Once he was gone, Rooster whispered something to the firecracker, who just shrugged the man off her. A smile danced on her lips as she playfully punched his arm. Whatever they were talking about, Jake couldn't hear, with everyone now talking again and the music playing. 
And that was how it began. The interest Jake grew in you.
After that night, he knew he had to get to know you.
________
Bradley, aka Rooster, was someone you considered family. When you moved away from the family that cut their ties with you at a young age, you somehow ended up rooming with Bradley at 19. While he was only a couple of years older than you, you both had hit it off well. He had no one after losing his mother, leaving you two closer. A friendship that soon blossomed into a relationship of siblings. "Go away." You pushed Bradley, who now had his arm around your shoulders. He smiled down at you, amused with your lazy attempts to push him.
"You know you love me." He said over the music playing in the background. This earned a laugh that left your lips as you shook him off of you. "You'd be lost without me, Y/n." You rolled your eyes at him as you sat on the hood of his truck. You didn't know how you allowed this man to convince you to come out this Friday night, but here you were. Once again, at the bar where you almost wished you had knocked down that ugly piece of shit of a man. 
Almost.
"Actually, I'd be at the apartment." You shrugged as you swung your feet back and forth. "I'd be in my cozy bed watching Criminal Minds." This time, he was the one to roll his eyes at you. Unlike Bradley, you didn't mind not going out that much. You'd be home watching a good movie or show and curled up in bed. He'll, even reading a good book was enough for you. However, that didn't mean you didn't enjoy yourself when you were out.
"You've already watched every episode of that show." He pointed out, and he wasn't wrong. You had watched all of Criminal Minds, but you loved that show too dearly not to rewatch it.
"Y? (And)" You raised an eyebrow, not seeing the issue.
"Now, if it ain't Rooster." A new voice stopped Bradley before he could respond. You glanced over your shoulder and spotted an attractive man walking towards us. He looked to be about six foot and close to Bradley's age. Your eyes took in the white shirt that seemed to fit snugly around his arms but left space around his torso and the jeans that seemed to fit him well. As your eyes traveled back up to his face, you noticed he was already looking at you. You had to fight the urge to look away, embarrassed you were caught checking him out.
"Hangman." Bradley nodded at him, but you could hear the slight annoyance in his voice. The man didn't look away from you as a cocky smile pulled at his lips. His green eyes traveled down your figure, taking in your jeans and the tight red shirt with a low v cut. Enough to show a good amount of cleavage before he looked back at you.
"Jake," He held a hand out. "Jake Seresin." He introduced himself. Bringing your bottom lip between your teeth, you hesitated before taking his hand. You could feel the roughness from the palm of his hand.
"Y/n Dominquez." You smiled at him and watched as he muttered your name. "Encantada. (nice to meet you)" 
"Hangman, Rooster!" A new voice called from within the bar. Reluctantly, you looked away and noticed a few dagger members waving for them. Letting go of his hand, you turned back to Bradley and gave him a slight nudge with your foot so you could hop off the truck. He held his hand out, which you pushed away. You didn't have to look to know that Jake, or Hangman as the rest seemed to call him, had begun to walk into the bar. Bradley lingered behind, waiting for you.
"This is where I tell you, don't let that face trick you." You glanced over at him. "He'll break your heart." You let out an amused snort before pushing him forward.
"Roger that." A little salute in the process before you guys joined the rest of his group. Jake was on your mind the whole time, as you didn't shy away from checking him out when he wasn't looking. Even if you were on the other side of the bar, ordering drinks with Phoenix, your eyes somehow always landed back on him.
And that was the first night you both had been introduced to each other. 
________
It has been about five months since Bradley introduced you to the rest of his group. Five months since you had also met Jake. "You're going to force me to go alone?" Phoenix asked as she was dressed up. A beautiful, tight-fitting, black dress. Her hair was down and with soft, loose curls. Her makeup was done beautifully. 
"I don't see why I have to go." You pulled a pillow to your lap. "Besides, you have the rest of the daggers; you won't be alone." She gave me a deadpan look.
"I'd be the only girl surrounded by idiots." She pointed out, and you smiled, knowing she made a valid point. "Please, besides, Jake is gonna be there." Your grip around the pillow tightened as you fought the urge to smile. Even though you were told how much of an arrogant, egotistical asshole Jake was, you had somehow grown to like him more than you planned. Maybe it was how he was still a gentleman or the playful flirting he constantly threw your way, but this man did something to you. 
"Sabes que te odio, (you know I hate you) right?" You glared at the girl before you, regretting the drunk confession four weeks ago. She laughed and pulled out the red dress we had gotten a few weeks back. The moment your eyes landed on the dress, you knew you had to get it. The beautiful red complemented your warm skin tone. It was an off-the-shoulder long-sleeve dress, and the side slit was long; you were worried about how much it would show. You took the dress from her hands and walked into the bathroom. "How much time do I have?" You called out.
"Well," You could hear her move closer. "Bob said the boys must be there in two hours to finish getting ready. So I say about an hour." You looked at your hair through the mirror and sighed. You weighed your options before you decided to change into the dress. As you ran your fingers down the dress, you shook your head, having to change your underwear as it was showing. As you opened the door, Phoenix smiled as her eyes traveled down your figure. 
"I need new underwear." You mumbled as you walked past her, undoing your hair. You opened your underwear drawer and pulled out a red thong, one you knew you could hide so it wouldn't be shown through the slit. 
"Damn, Y/n." She smiled at you as you slipped the thong on. Your eyes met hers, and she smirked at you. "You are going to make that man fall for you bad." A small laugh left my lips as I stood up straight. "Let me help you with your makeup." She pulled out the makeup back in the bathrooms as you sat down. 
_____
The wedding was beautiful. You couldn't be more than happy for Bob and his wife. Your eyes stayed on the newly married couple that danced in the middle of the dance floor. You downed the shot of tequila that Nat had gotten you before Bradley dragged her onto the dance floor. You hummed to yourself and swayed to the music. "Now, why is my firecracker alone?" You could feel how close he was to you as his lips brushed against your ear. His hand rested on the small part of your back as he rubbed his thumb soothingly. You moved back a bit, your head touching his shoulder.
"Just taking in the happy couple." You motioned to where Bob whispered something to his wife, who just laughed. Jake just hummed and moved a chair to sit behind you. You could feel the pull on your chair as he brought you closer to him.
"Never thought Bob would be the first to settle," Jake said, and you turned your head to glance at him. His gaze was already on you as you raised an eyebrow at him.
"Why?" You smiled with a slight tilt in your head. "Bob is a charming man. His wife is lucky to have him." Jake gave you a shrug.
"Not the first thing I imagined for him when we met." He grabbed your hand close to him and messed with it as he continued, "He's a taciturn man. Keeps mostly to himself, and half the time, you forget he's even there." You gave him a slight hum as you knew he had a point. Your first impression of Bob was that he reminded you of an innocent little kid. A puppy, even with his eyes always looking slightly confused and lost. 
"Well, I guess he surprised you all then." Jake let out a soft laugh that seemed to warm a spot deep in your belly, loving the sound of it. 
"Dance with me." He got up and walked before you; his hand never left yours. A soft okay left your lips as he helped you up. You didn't miss how his beautiful green eyes trailed down your figure. Or the way they deemed to darken when he took in the tattoo exposed from your slit. You pulled him to the dance floor, where there was an open spot with few people around. Jake wasted no time pulling you close as his hands reached your waist. Your hands around his shoulders as you sway to the music. "You look stunning." You looked up at him as he pulled you closer to him.
"You don't look too bad yourself." You played with hair, lightly running your nails against his scalp. His eyes fluttered shut as he suppressed a groan from leaving his lips. Having you this close to him, he could feel everything. The way your boobs pressed up against him or his hands were inches away from being able to slide his hand down to your ass. Hell, if he wanted to, he could move his hand close to the slit and touch the exposed skin that seemed to taunt him. Touch the black ink that painted your beautiful skin. He couldn't help the frown that pulled at the corner of his lips. "Jake, estás bien (are you okay)?" Jake opened his eyes to look at you as you looked worried. "Are you okay?" You asked once again as you moved a hand to cup his cheek. Your eyes scanned his face, and he just nodded.
"Yeah," He took a deep breath. He could take in your scent. The sweetness filled his nose, along with a jasmine and maybe a hint of vanilla. But with it all, her scent was the prominent scent that drove him crazy. "Yeah, I'm fine, firecracker." The nickname he gave you left his lips as you rubbed his cheek with your thumb. He looked down at you, and every part holding him back vanished. The gap between you closed as he brought his lips down to yours. At first, you were taken off guard by his action, but you kissed him back. Your arms wrapped around him as you pulled him closer and smiled into the kiss. He felt you slightly open your mouth and wasted no time to allow his tongue to explore your mouth. He explored it all and moved a hand up your neck, deepening the kiss. A groan left his lips as you tasted better than he ever imagined. When you pulled back from the kiss, he couldn't help but give you a lazy smile as he gripped your waist tighter. 
"Wow," Jake's heart swelled when a giggle left your lips.
"What are you doing to me, firecracker?" He groaned as he placed his forehead against yours. "You got me going crazy for you and your fiery attitude."

Hello 👋. I saw your post that you write yandere headcanons and I was wondering if I can request Yandere headcanons of either Sun Wukong or Macaque. The NSFW is completely up to you. If you’re not taking requests at all, then please ignore this request. Thank you and have a good day 😁🐵
Authors Notes;I'll write both my traveller~ I also basing this off my ideas of my first fic btw- and nonsmut for today I'm too lazy
TW; UNHEALTHY BEHAVIOUR, STALKING, MENTIONS OF KILLING, DEAD DOVE; DO NOT EAT,
Tumblr media
Six-Eared Macaque
- Yandere macaque, is interesting, to say the least. His cold, smug, and mischievous but not borderline prankster. His Mini Villain, different episodes different outcomes, due to how he acted for each of them being straight out cold and handy to know a bit of boundary between.
- For him to fall for you, and his sanity 'Snapped' it would be near impossible, but the impossible is always possible right? Well, luck may be on your side if you haven't made him snap.
- This man is dangerous, macaque can sneak around, and stalk you with simply shadows. You don't know where or when he will stare daggers into your whole figure.
- The reason for along in love with you is simply interest, power, and authority. If you have one of those boxes or all of them checked, you're screwed.
- would he kidnap you immediately? No, it will take time to know you, likes, dislikes, food preferences, style of clothes, even your house keys and where you put or took them with you.
- Even when he does kidnap you, it's only for a brief minute, insisting your stay with him for a few days. He knows how to use manipulation, either Emotional or Verbal manipulation, brainwashing is there for the option but he won't take it that far, yet.
- Even if you trust him full heartedly or half heartedly, he still and will use brainwashing to make you think, his doing the best for you, the only one who supports you, helped you in your darkest times.
- It's until your mind is blank, eyes are dead, your ambitions and dreams been crushed to smithereens. Only an empty husk of a body that been turned into submission.
" Why so cold? I though you said you want to stay by my side? Changed your mind so quickly? "
Tumblr media
Sun Wu Kong
- Wu Kong is a different case, with his chill and a bit laid back personality, it can be deceiving.
- One way, his chill and showed no manipulation or be a bit touchy. And the other way would be silently making hints to make others go away from you.
- This can be interpreted as platonic or romantic, depends on what reader we have. But falling in love with you is out of questions as it would be innocent at the start until later on, you would have a bit time to get away.
- Like macaque, this man is dangerous, an obsessive yandere, making you stay on his home instead of letting you free. Even if you escaped, this man can use his golden vision to see a far. So good luck running away.
- No, he will not let you go, the most freedom you could get is wandering around the mountain or the island. Depends on what reader you're intepretating.
- The only way he can take you away is your full trust in him, his and immortal and can be patient (at times)
- If his patience enough, he will take you away without any suspicion and with reluctant with you, without force I mean.
- if his patience run out, well things won't be the same impression when you though of him the first time.
- Though, he will give you anything games, kids, immortality, you name it he will get it. Except freedom (depends on what route you took.)
" Peaches! Guess what! I got you a game you always wanted! "

like i just love skeptic mulder & believer scully. they are SO important to me.
mulder wants to believe, scully is afraid to believe but she does. mulder is so skeptical and fights everyday to believe. i think about quagmire and how he wanted something tangible. i think about endgame and how he was struggling to hold onto his quest, and running off without telling scully & endangering himself...he at least found his faith to keep looking. he has always wanted proof, but he wanted to believe so badly he took every single person at their word and believed the things he saw and scully reminded him about the kind of proof they need. and its like in the pilot — scully believed because of dirt. she still wanted more proof, but it was enough for her believe that something crazy was going on — and mulder is the one to bring her back down to earth.
scully took her skeptic role very seriously after that. deep throat solidified it because he would even believe high teenagers. and she learned how much he needed back up because he will go to extreme lengths to find proof. so she makes it her job to prove anything she can — and it excites scully so much. in squeeze, not only does she solidly place herself on the victims' side, on mulder's side...they found a liver eating human mutant!!
i also find it extremely interesting that in miracle man (the first religious episode?) that scully is not taken in by samuel, but mulder is. this is months after conduit where he cries in a church of a god he doesn't believe in, but i think he wants to believe in god too. but believing in an all powerful god who lets these horrible things happen (but doesn't that ignore free will?) is too much for him. i think the one thing mulder truly believes in is the good of humanity. he tries to understand the worst people and when all he finds is evil, he writes them off completely (boggs, roche). (and someone like gerry schnauz, a schizophrenic man, he believes gerry thinks he's helping the women he lobotomizes & kills.) and he didn't believe samuel because of god or religion, but mulder believed him to be psychic. scully spent this entire episode concerned about mulder, which she often is. not because he's believing, but because she ~knows what drives him and she knows how he can get lost in cases that remind him of samantha.
scully's number one job is mulder's protector. she tries to make it safe for him to believe and seek the truth. she does that with science & facts, finding the proof...and following him any & everywhere.
anyway. they can both be hypocrites but it's often out of fear and the discomfort of stepping outside of their roles. they are roles they play and strengthen their relationship. but it also makes it difficult until they figure out how to be flexible. to allow space for their ranges in belief & skepticism. allowing the other to change them and understanding it won't ruin their partnership, or their work.
like kae said, scully learns from mulder. she's always learning. but so is mulder. it's also what makes season six so great. they're constantly confronting it and by the time all things comes around, mulder can believe scully talks to god even if he doesn't believe in god and even if that isn't how scully understood it. wherever that vision came from, she let it help her save daniel and validate her choices, understanding what she wanted and how all of her choices lead her there. finally knowing it's exactly what she wants, she's not the girl she used to be and she can find relief & happiness in that. like she tells him in je souhaite.
it's just really beautiful to me. sometimes scully's still afraid to believe but she does it. because mulder gives her courage. and sometimes mulder still struggles to believe, but scully always gives him the space & safety to find his way back to it.

B5 s02e22 The Fall of Night table of contents • previous episode
Wow, the season finale of another season! That's 44 episodes and the Gathering in eleven months! Or a year? With the little break I took shortly into season one, and the big break I took in season two, I'm actually surprised that averages out to one every week and a bit. It's been a riot, but I'm beginning to suspect that they aren't going to fight the great war by the end of season two….a few episodes ago Lord Refa told Londo it had been six months since the war with the Narns began, and Sheridan says in the credits it's the year the great war began. So there's another six months to fill before the all-out war begins?
I cannot believe that last episode, Jack the Ripper from 1888 London tortured Delenn half to death. that. That was wild. But it only makes me more stoked to see what they do next, for the season finale! No, really, how are they going to top the whole season so far?
I'm just picturing Bruce Boxleitner sitting in a little set and his plastic helmet acting earnestly into the studio lights for some reason.
Huh, Lennier and Vir have a lot in common. And they meet every to gripe about their ambassadors. So cute. Lennier plus anyone is a winning strategy.
The Centauri arm of colonialism is spreading again, and it's been less than an episode since they took the Narn homeworld! They're doing 90% of the shadows' job for them.
B5, over and over again: "Imperialism is - hey, look at me. Imperialism is bad. Say it with me: "Imperialism is bad." It's not a good thing, only bad."
Hm, Garibaldi's take on Londo that he's holding on for dear life as the situation spins wildly out of control, since he has no fall-back plan or safe harbor that he knows of, gives him more credit than I had been.
There's more sightings of the shadows now, passed off as scary stories pilots tell each other half joking, half warning.
EarthCorps is here to meddle and get direct reports from their fashy spies.
There's pilot elitism!
"A spider big as death and twice as ugly. When it flies past, it's like you hear a scream in your mind. I saw it too."
They really must exude a visceral wrongness. Natural, or cultivated? Lt Keffer (?) is a little batshit to want to find one again. But all pilots are a little nuts (I say as someone about halfway to a pilot's license)
Hm, Ivanova sort of gets along with this EarthForce guy. Or she's charming him on purpose? She's usually blunt or bluntly professional.
A Narn war cruiser survived! Help them, Sheridan! It'll flare tensions like crazy, bring war to Babylon 5 almost certainly. But it's also the right thing to do.
Hm, the other Earthforce guy is also making an effort to get along with Ivanova. Deal with the devil shit. Join our political faction and add your rising star of influence to our cause. And oh, also spy for us and send us information on everything and everyone on B5.
Ivanova gives an excellent, very civil smack-down. Booo fascist faction in the already fascist government.
Lovely. A meeting of everyone who signed up to be spies, and they all get grilled and criticized in front of each other about the quality and quantity of the information they reported. And there are informants who inform on the informants. This isn't concerning at all.
Wasn't Lt Keffer banned from going out and doing sweeps looking for the shadows in hyperspace? This man cannot be stopped by mere orders.
Going by EarthForce Guy's mien, Earth isn't interested in supporting the Narn. Lame. And an Earth-Centauri Alliance! Terrible! Typical!
"A non-aggressive treaty with the Centauri? That's like trying to make nice with a piranha."
A great simile, Sheridan. And awww, he's having baby's first shame over one's totalitarian and morally bankrupt government.
Sheridan and Ivanova's relationship warms me heart. She got him a piece of the Black Star, the Minbari warcruiser which he defeated, to remind him that the impossible is within reach.
Way too many fucking spies on this station. Earth Force does not need to find things out this quickly, and it's disastrous that the Centauri have.
Yeah, go Sheridan! EarchForce is going to be PISSED, but he's defending B5 space. It can't be a neutral station if they bow to whomever shows up with a big warship. Plus, he's the Captain, and he hasn't gotten any direct orders from his superiors, so it is his decision!
There is tension! I feel tense! Wow! What a space battle! They do well at those. Love that Zeta Squadron went and escorted the Narn ship into hyperspace. Good relations being established there!
Sheridan: "[The Centauri ship] fired first, Mr Lantz. I have an obligation to protect this stations." Mr Lantz: "You had no business helping a Narn cruiser." Sheridan: "Are you telling me to disobey regulations?" Mr Lantz: "What regulations?" Sheridan: "General Order 47. EarthForce personnel are required to answer distress calls and assist any vessels not currently involved in hostilities against Earth. Now, it may not have been politically convenient, but legally and morally it was the right decision."
That it was. No matter the amount of Centauri blustering. It is 100% bullshit of these people to be catering to the Centauri so much. Sheridan is ordered, on pain of losing his position, to apologize to the Centauri, which is super lame.
Lt Keffer's computer's voice is fantastic. Good job, human voice actor playing a computer voice!
Sheridan's practicing his apology in the mirror is excellent.
Londo being a sad outcast in the middle of parties because no one wants to associate with his shitty ass is also excellent.
Awwww, Lt Keffer. Excellent work tracking down a shadow ship, brave and quick thinking saving the information, but bad death.
Whoa!!!! Sheridan just jumped out of the shuttle! But Kosh pulls a Dues Ex Machina! And everyone recognizes him with a local name or designation. Has this actor been in the encounter suit all along?
Huh, the inside of the shell of B5, an interesting view.
Sheridan really keeps it together. His calm acknowledgement in just saying "Kosh."
Hmmmmm. Good Vorlon lore.
A Narn in speaking with another being agrees that seeing the being of light was a good omen. Londo claims he saw nothing. I wonder how much truth there is to that.
Ivanova voice-over! We started the season with her voiceover, and I'm glad to end it the same way.
"…[Babylon 5] became our last, best hope for victory. Because sometimes peace is another word for surrender, and because secrets have a way of getting out."
At least there's a publicly released footage of the Shadows now!
This episode did a really good job of making me want to immediately watch another! Season one was great. Season two was better, and with this finale, I'm completely invested in where Season three will take me!
this just in! my top five from s02 and final thoughts before starting s03!

So I was looking at the Mario chart and I wanted to figure out everyone's height. So I use the official height of Jumpman himself of 5'1 or 154.94 cm. Considering that it takes six notches on the board to get to Mario's height I divided 154.94 cm by 6 giving me that each notch is about 25.823 repeating. The first character I calculated the height of was Luigi, he is about half a notch taller than Mario so I took my to 25.823 and divided it by 2. Then added that to Mario's height giving me a height of 167.8516 repeating. Or about 5'6. 
The character that I calculated for was Bowser. The tricky thing about Bowser though is that his shell is slightly higher than his actual head so I did two measurements for him. Going up to his shell because it is twice the height of Mario and a lot easier to calculate, he is 309.88 cm or a bit taller than 10'1. However, that height includes his shell, not the top of his head. The top of his head is about a notch and a half shorter than his shell so I calculated for this, about 271.145 cm or about 8'10. Which is interesting because there's a man in the Guinness world record book named Sultan Kösen who is 251 cm or about 8'2. 
The next character I calculate for is rather easy as well, Peach. Not including the crown, she's an entire notch taller. This makes her about 180.763 repeating cm or about 5'9, with the crown though she is about 189.37111107 cm for about 6'1. By the way the crown is about 1/3 of a notch.
The next character on The chopping block is now toad. He stands about 4⅓ notches tall, meaning I can multiply 4⅓ by the height of each notch. Which gives me about 111.901 repeating cm or about 3'8.
This one that I'm going to cover is Kamek. He is another tricky to calculate character because of his hat. The first thing I'm going to go over is his hat included height, which is 129.116 repeating cm or around 4'2. Now this is where we get into a bit of assumptions since we have no models of his hat actually being off but I would assume that he's about four notches high because that's where his hat begins to actually taper into a triangle shape and it's also where you can see the most wrinkles in the hats material. If that is his actual height, then he is about 103.293 repeating cm or just about 3'3.
I didn't bother to calculate the heights for the other two cuz not only are both of them very similar in height but their background characters are not really main characters. I don't think anyone's going to be really shocked if I say that's like 5 ft whatever. If you're curious though you can use the measurements that I used, it's very simple I use desmos.
The thing that I'm still thinking about is Bowser and if his height actually affects him in a physical way because I'm thinking of like the health problems I've very tall athletes usually have. Or if you can think of the episode from the film theorist where they were looking about ant-man's ability to change his height and how that affect him on a physical scale I wonder if the same can be applied to Bowser. Though I don't know he is a fire breathing dragon so I don't know if real world physics would affect him at all. And hell now that I'm thinking about it I might post this on the game theorist subreddit or send this to Matt Pat on Twitter I don't know yet.

Was busy traveling all day and couldn't decide which one to choose.. and I was a little worried maybe other people might've submitted already too... UH, how does this one sound from the list? "That's not the worst thing I've ever heard but it's certainly up there." Did I do this right-?
Send a sentence starter and I'll practice writing a ficlet featuring Christopher and Kennith! {COLOR-TV AU}
“...That’s not the worst thing I’ve ever heard, but it’s certainly up there,” Christopher said after a pause, giving Kennith a flat look. 
“Whaaat? Come on, it’s totally a good idea,” Kennith replied with a wide grin, trying his best to sound convincing. Which didn’t go very far when talking to someone like Christopher. “You get your squad together, show up to an episode of COLOR-TV, and do a bunch of team-based challenges together! It’ll be fun!”
Christopher bristled. “They’re not my—” he began indignantly, before taking a breath and trying again. “We are not a squad, as people are so keen on putting it. We’re hardly even friends.” He paused. “Well I suppose the girls are friends, but they just like to follow me around for some ungodly reason.” 
Kennith’s head tilted to the side, slightly confused. “If you’re not friends, then why do you like to dance with Winnie, and ask a bunch of favors from Obsequious?” 
“Because they’re both idiots who will do what I say.” 
“See? You are a squad! You’re clearly the leader!” 
“I am not their leader!” Christopher very nearly yelled, much to Kennith’s amusement. While Kennith struggled and failed not to laugh, Christopher took another breath to calm himself. “I do not even want to be associated with those… buffoons. They just so happened to take quite a liking to me, the reason for which I have not the slightest idea. What kinds of friends show up to my mansion uninvited almost every day?!”
“The best kind,” Kennith said with a cheeky wink. “Come on, you said they’ll do anything you ask them to, why not command them to be on the show? They’re obviously gonna do it.” 
“They would. But I refuse to take part in it.” 
Kennith pouted. “Aww, why not?” 
“You’re lucky I’m still even at your studio after the fiasco during my episode,” Christopher reminded him, his tone cold. “I don’t want to do an episode with those two, that’s final. Only disastrous things follow those two, I swear.” 
“Oh come on, they can’t be that bad, you’re exaggerating!” Kennith rolled his eyes, thinking Christopher’s clearly just being dramatic. “The first episode featured Obsequious, and that went well! Mostly.” 
Christopher folded his arms, glancing away while his eyes narrowed. “Yes, well, apart they’re harmless. But together they just feed into each other’s inane ideas and antics.”
“Aww, cute. I’d ship ‘em.”
“Kennith.” 
The TV show host held up his hands defensively. “Alright, alright!” he said with a chuckle. Looks like he’d need to switch tactics and be more lenient, as bad of an idea as that is with Christopher. “What would it take for you to be on the episode, huh? I’m open to negotiating.” 
That gave Christopher pause, and he looked back at Kennith curiously. There we go, he’d piqued his interest. Much better. 
“...Give me three months of paid vacation, where I don’t need to show up to the studio to be on standby like usual.” 
Kennith blanched. “WHAT?! No!” 
“Fine, then you won’t get your episode.” 
“A week!”
“Four months.” 
“Two weeks!” 
“Six months.” 
“A month!” 
“Deal,” Christopher agreed, shaking Kennith’s hand. Judging by the grin on his face, it seemed like he had been aiming for a month this entire time. “A pleasure doing business with you, Kennith.” 
“Yeah, yeah,” Kennith grumbled, withdrawing his hand with a pout. That wasn’t a very good deal. Now he had to rework a bunch of potential episodes for the schedule later on. Dammit. “So you’ll ask them?” 
“Of course, I am a man of my word.” 
“No you’re not.” 
“Hahaha,” Christopher laughed, obviously forced. “Oh, Kennith. We both know that as far this arrangement of ours goes, I most certainly am. Unless you would like to abuse—I mean, exercise your power?” he drawled, sarcastic. 
Kennith tilted his head up, trying to appear taller as he glared at Christopher. Of course, it didn’t work because Christopher was a foot taller than him, but at least he looked a bit more standoffish. “Depends. Are you actually gonna participate in the episode?”
Christopher put a hand to his chin, humming thoughtfully. “Hmm, I don’t believe that was part of the deal.”
“WHAT?!” 
“You said, and I quote, ‘What would it take for you to be on the episode?’ I never said I would participate. I simply agreed to show up,” Christopher replied with one of his signature Cheshire cat smiles. 
Kennith stared at him. “You’re a real piece of work, you know that?”
“Naturally.”
Kennith sighed, bringing a hand to his forehead. “What will it take for you to participate in the episode.” 
“Another month?”
“No. I can’t just have you not show up to work for that long.” 
Christopher hummed. “Hmm, fair enough,” he said with a shrug. As much as he’d like to keep haggling for more, he did want to keep his job. Not because of the money, but because it was the most entertaining thing in his life at the moment, unfortunately. “How about this: during the episode, you are not to yell or rush me in any way. Doing your humiliating challenges is hard enough, I do not need your screeching in addition to that.”
Kennith brought an indignant hand to his chest. “I don’t screech! My voice isn’t screechy, it’s fun!” he protested. In response, Christopher gave him a look without saying anything. “What, you don’t think I sound fun?” 
“It’s best if I don’t answer that,” Christopher said flatly. “Are my terms agreeable?”
Kennith rolled his eyes. “Yes, they’re agreeable, fine. I’ll just yell at the other two, I guess.” 
“Do as you wish with them, I couldn’t care less.” 
That piqued Kennith’s interest. “Would you let me boss them around like they would for you?” 
Christopher paused to consider that, before glancing away. “...No.”
“Aww come on, what?? Are they your friends or not?” 
“They aren’t my friends, but I’m not just going to let you—” 
“So you’re a squad?” 
“WE’RE NOT A SQUAD!” 
Kennith grinned. “Sure you are. The Monochrome Squad.” 
Christopher let out a frustrated groan at the team being given a title. “Don’t call us that!” 
“Ohhh, so you guys are an ‘us’ now?” 
“KENNITH!” 
“Okay, okay! Hahaha…”

Top 5 More Marvin the Martian Appearances
Tumblr media
In my previous list, I ranked all five of the classic Golden Age Looney Tunes cartoons featuring my favorite Looney Tunes character, Marvin the Martian. Of course, while those five theatrical shorts were the only appearances Marvin had during the Golden Age, they were not the end of the adorable (yet incredibly dangerous) little gremlin from another world. It’s hard to say when and how Marvin’s popularity took off, but the fact remains that, despite sparse appearances during that great period, Marvin became a favorite character for creators and fans of the Looney Tunes alike. They kept bringing him back, over and over again, using him in all sorts of different ways. His popularity only seems to have grown over the years, with numerous appearances in films, TV shows, video games, and so on. I thought it would be fun, having ranked all of his classic appearances, to count down some of my personal favorites that have come about since then. To keep things even, I’m once again limiting this to just five appearances (although I will note a few Honorable Mentions, besides), so let’s see if any of you recognize them! Let’s waste no more time. Get ready to launch in 3…2…1! These are My Top 5 Favorite Marvin the Martian Appearances since the Golden Age!
Tumblr media
5. Marvin the Martian in the 3rd Dimension.
This fifteen minute short film was made as a 4-D attraction at Six Flags Great America, along with a few other theme parks around the world. It was notable for being the first CGI animated film produced in stereoscopic 3D. The short is essentially a reimagining of the classic cartoon “Duck Dodgers in the 24th ½ Century,” with references to some of Marvin’s other cartoons included. The plot sees Daffy Duck as a struggling actor, playing Duck Dodgers; in this world, Dodgers is the hero of a series of space adventure films. Marvin, who has been observing Earth, mistakes a rehearsal tape for an actual declaration of war against Mars, and thus sends K-9 to kidnap Daffy, planning to make him watch as he destroys Earth for their perceived hubris and aggression. The short is essentially one giant space-themed comedy of errors, as not only does Marvin misunderstand the situation, but so does Daffy, who believes all this is an offer for a new movie. It’s an interesting bit of Looney history, and really seems to mark the point in time where Marvin was officially being recognized as a major cartoon star in his own right: although Daffy is the true protagonist, it’s Marvin who gets the headline in the title.
Tumblr media
4. The Man From M.A.R.S.
This was an episode of the cartoon series “Taz-Mania,” which featured Taz the Tasmanian Devil as the main character, going on a series of cartoon adventures. By far my favorite episode of the show was this one. Not just because of Marvin, but because…(thinks)...okay, yeah, actually, it IS just because of Marvin. But there’s a little more to why that is than you might think! Much like the previous pick, the plot is the result of a series of misunderstandings: Taz - who has been spooked by a radio play about an alien invasion (a parody of Orson Welles’ adaptation of “War of the Worlds”) - gets scared when Marvin comes to his homeland. Thinking the Martian plans to do him and his home harm, the Tasmanian Devil decides to fight back in the only way he knows how: wrecking and eating everything in sight, in the hopes it will drive the extraterrestrial away. However, Marvin hasn’t come to Earth planning to conquer it, but instead just to spend a humble vacation camping in the wilderness. He takes the aggressive antics of Taz as an outright declaration of war (again, sound familiar?) and thus decides to use a special bomb to destroy the planet. Unfortunately, Marvin’s plan works too well, as he gets stranded on Earth with no way to get off the planet before the bomb goes off. With their lives mutually on the line, Marvin and Taz must put aside their differences and work together to deactivate the explosive and save the Earth. I absolutely LOVE the pairing of Marvin the Martian and Taz: it’s the character among the Looney Tunes who seemingly has the most self-control, up against the Looney Toon who has the LEAST self-control. Taz is a wild, dumb brute who thinks with his stomach more than his head; Marvin is an egotistical intellectual who somehow manages to overthink everything while also missing important details. It’s also interesting to see the two together as they share similar histories: both were characters created fairly late in the game for the Looney Tunes cast, and each only appeared five times during the Golden Age. Yet, somehow, both rose in popularity and are now considered two of the most iconic and beloved Looney Tunes characters of all time. My only gripe with this cartoon is Marvin’s voice; in all his other appearances on this Top 5, Marvin is voiced by the late Joe Alaskey, who does a pitch-perfect impersonation of Mel Blanc’s original vocals. In “Taz-Mania!” however, Marvin is played by Rob Paulsen, whose impression is…not necessarily BAD, but definitely sounds like an IMPRESSION of Marvin, not Marvin himself, if that makes any sense. It’s not enough to cause any real trouble, though…unlike Taz and Marvin themselves, who ALWAYS seem to cause trouble wherever they go, but that’s another story.
Tumblr media
3. Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas.
It’s sort of ironic that “Bah, Humduck!” is in my Top 3, because I’m actually not ESPECIALLY fond of this direct-to-video reimagining of “A Christmas Carol.” As a huge fan of both the Looney Tunes and the Dickens classic, I feel like a lot of this holiday special misses the mark for BOTH sides of the spectrum. It’s not terrible, mind you, but it’s not brilliant, either; it’s on the lower end of “meh.” HOWEVER…one thing I absolutely, positively, unconditionally ADORE about this special is Marvin’s role in the story. The plot focuses on Daffy Duck as our Scrooge surrogate; he’s the owner of a major shopping center, and works his cartoon employees to the bone. Marvin is one of these employees, and longs to go back home to Mars to spend Christmas with his family. (“I long to hang garland on the Laser Annihilator Cannon!” he says with sinister relish…I freaking LOVE that line.) You’d think they’d play that up for laughs, and, yeah, there’s definitely some chuckle-worthy things…but surprisingly, the special treats Marvin’s wish to go home seriously and sincerely. There’s this beautiful scene where he’s looking through a telescope at the night sky: it’s late, it’s snowing hard, and he knows he can’t go back. Then he sees a shooting star; his face lights up happily, and he clasps his hands together as if to make a wish…and sheds a few quiet tears. Daffy dismisses this as “cheap holiday sentiment,” but honestly, that scene - told entirely through visuals, with not a spot of dialogue - might be one of my favorite Marvin moments of all time, and my favorite scene in the whole film. This Christmas Carol reinterpretation may have gotten a lot of things wrong��but in making Marvin the Martian arguably the most heartfelt part of the entire story, I think it’s safe to say they got a few things right.
Tumblr media
2. Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
In contrast to the previous pick, which may be Marvin’s single sweetest appearance (unless you count “Baby Looney Tunes,” which…I do not), this movie is probably one of Marvin’s most despicable since the Golden Age. I’m not sure how people feel about “Looney Tunes: Back in Action” as a whole - whether folks generally love it, hate it, or just acknowledge it exists and move on - but I personally think it’s…okay. I’d rather watch this than “Space Jam,” if nothing else, I’ll tell you that much. (Sorry, “Space Jam” fans: I don’t hate the movie, but in a contest between the two, I think this one does the toons more justice.) The film is a parody of the James Bond franchise, with Bugs & Daffy helping a pair of human protagonists (played by Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman) try to save the world from the evil machinations of The ACME Chairman (played by Steve Martin) and his many secret operatives, all of whom are classic Looney Tunes villains. Marvin is one of the most prominent villains in the movie; he first appears as a captive in Area 52 - a secret military base devoted to studying alien life. On orders from the Chairman, Marvin breaks himself and the other aliens out to attack the four. They manage to escape Marvin, but the Martian returns in the climax. There, Bugs and Daffy (as Duck Dodgers) battle the evil alien in space to stop him from finishing the Chariman’s mad plan to turn all of the Earth’s population into monkeys. It was cool to see Marvin play such a big role in a feature film, as a major antagonist, and the references to various famous sci-fi properties found in his scenes (such as Doctor Who and Star Wars) are a lot of fun. It was also cool to see him face BOTH of his nemeses from the cartoons, rather than just one or the other. Again, I don’t know what kind of reputation this movie has, but if there’s one thing I will always defend, it’s the film’s use of Marvin the Martian.
Tumblr media
1. Duck Dodgers.
This early 2000s animated series, another reimagining of “Duck Dodgers in the 24th ½ Century,” is something of a cult classic. It’s largely forgotten by a lot of people nowadays, and, looking back on it, it wasn’t perfect: some episodes, character reinventions, and general jokes worked…others did not. With that said, I don’t think I’m alone in the opinion that, for any flaws this show had…it was, without a shadow of a doubt, Marvin’s magnum opus as a character. While he has had guest appearances and occasional spotlight or supporting roles in other films and TV projects, this series marks the only time to date where Marvin was truly a main character. As a result, the show was able to give him more attention than any other appearance of the cartoon Martian before or since. Marvin (known in the show as Commander X-2, in reference to “The Hasty Hare”) was the main antagonist, usually acting as the villain trying to stop Dodgers and Cadet (Daffy and Porky Pig) on their many adventures. However, while Marvin was still the disintegration-happy, Earth-hating alien from the cartoons, the show was able to play with more facets of his personality and his relationships with characters. We got some cartoons focused on him and K-9, saw his devotion to his Queen (who was also his love interest), and the relationships he had with his arch-enemies was a lot of fun to see unfold in all of its ridiculousness. For as much as Marvin and Dodgers try to destroy one another, you quickly realize each sort of depends on this mutual feud, like with a lot of great nemesis relationships. Meanwhile, the Martian and the Cadet seem to get along surprisingly well; anytime Marvin and the protagonists team up, it’s usually Cadet who convinces him. On that note, for as often as Marvin was the villain, it was just as often that he would help the good guys, or even show a heroic side of his own accord. He was essentially an anti-villain: not necessarily EVIL, so much as just an obstacle in the hero’s path. And considering Dodgers was hardly a flawless hero, often just as terrible as Marvin (if not worse), it was easy to sympathize with the Martian Commander. It’s this series, just as much as his original cartoons or anything else, that cemented my love for this little rapscallion…and for that reason, if nothing else, “Duck Dodgers” deserves the title of My Favorite Marvin the Martian Appearance since the Golden Age. “Isn’t it delightful?”

Seeing Cher and Gun in the Our Skyy 2 trailer wearing those dreaded Christmas colors reminded me of a few things,
Tumblr media
like I didn't actually write about the colors in episode 6 of A Boss & A Babe because I got distracted by the . . . acting. Yeah. The acting and not that wild "Let them eat cake" version of Gun we saw.
Tumblr media
With much resistance, I've come to the conclusion that we are dealing with warm vs cool colors (Cher x Gun & Zo x Three), which does not make a lick of sense because the opening and ending credits are blue and yellow and the OST gave us blue, yellow, and orange while Gun has yet to put purple on his body compared to Cher who had purple with blue on last episode, but Reon Saran Jantharakkha, the cinematographer, is playing color combat, so cool cool cool, but not cool colors since Gun DOESN'T HAVE PURPLE!
Whatever. I'm good. *shrugs in unbothered*
The episode begins where the previous episode ended - Gun in blue at Cher's front door.
Tumblr media
Just in case you're struggling to see it, this is what the suit looks like during the day.
Tumblr media
I'm not touching on how Gun's colors become darker as his mood shifts because after spending time with Cher, Gun quickly pops back up the next day in green winking and smirking his way through the office like he took a course in HR violations from GAP's Sam.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thup shows up at Cher's place after work, because nobody respects this man's space, in orange demanding money for an avoidable car accident. His colors say he is Team Cher, but his attitude says he is Team Share-Your-Money-Now!
Tumblr media
Cher transfers him the money, so he quickly exits, only for his other problem child to call him from the hospital.
Tumblr media
Gun LIES stating that he was injured at a construction site, even though he told Cher earlier that he had a meeting at a hotel, and surprising nobody, Gun is missing his green. This mentiroso is in the black! *The Scooby Gang is displeased* But his lies get him a care giver, a hair washer, AND someone to cuddle with.
Tumblr media
Gun LIES some more and tells Cher that the reason he was bothered the other day was because he met with Thyme and had to be tough, but the colors and timing are telling a different story. Thyme appears to be wearing green (which would align with Gun), but also Gun left that meeting smug in the flashback, yet showed up to the office so upset that only Porsche, his ex, was allowed to speak to him.
Tumblr media
What's happening, narrative? Why is the math not mathing?
Because of Gun's LIES (or the plot holes), Cher sleeps with Gun, and the next day, Oi, the most accurate office worker ever portrayed in a series, calls Gun out on his change in personality while wearing blue pants. Gun is wearing whatever color this is. BlueBlack? No sé,
Tumblr media
But Cher struggles with his color.
Tumblr media
Is it because you slept with a liar, sir? Blink twice if it an actual part of the narrative. Blink once if it's merely plot holes.
Sidenote: Zo is fine. He was just tired. But not too tired to not wear his color, unlike Three who is taking a page out of Gun's color book and wearing green all of a sudden six episodes in.
Tumblr media
But it's okay because Zo decides to support his boyfriend in his color shenanigans and wears PURPLE after Three blows up at the group for not taking the competitions seriously. Let it be known that Jack only stated facts. And also note everyone else will wear purple before Gun.
Tumblr media
But next week, everyone seems to have their colors sorted out (I write that every week), after $ugar Daddy Gun suggests a beach trip for Cher and his friends.
Tumblr media
Zo and Cher are showing their willingness to merge their colors and love with their love interests, while their guys stick to their colors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yet drunk Gun seems more inclined to the idea of opening his heart and his arms to Cher.
Tumblr media
Because this is the face of a man in love. This is not the face of a liar.
Tumblr media
Right?
Right?
And now, your moment of Zen

The Object of Your Ire
Oh, Daemrya fam! We were blinded by the chemistry and the gorgeous love story (which I still firmly believe is intact and still totes there), but oh, oh, oh, the scenes that played out in the final episode, including the infamous choking scene, ah, they were all carefully set up!
Episode 1 -  Our first scene with Daemon? HE was sitting on the Iron Throne and it was Rhaenyra that came to him, and he talked of himself being the heir. Later we saw him listening in on the Small Council meeting, clearly showing an interest in the goings-on of the realm, the interplay. Later, he made it clear to Viserys that the fact that Viserys had never relied upon him, asked him to be Hand, trusted in him hurt him deeply. He was removed as heir, and banished.
Episode 2 - Daemon stole the egg meant for Baelon, the "heir for the day." Rhaenrya challenged him and she told him that she was the "object of his ire" as she was the heir to the Iron Throne. He acquiesed, because as we all know, haha, he is putty in her hands. He brought members of the City Watch with him to Dragonstone because they were loyal to him, not the crown.
Episode 3 - He was off in the Stepstones with Corlys attempting to fight and win a war to gain his own legitimacy and name on his own. When Viserys offered help, Daemon was all fuck that shit and almost single-handedly did it on his own. He needed that legitimacy to back himself up. And he got it.
Episode 4 - He returned to King's Landing as "King of the Narrow Sea." Daemon took Rhaenyra out on the town in "disguise" but once they got to the brothel, he removed her hat so that her identity was clear to all who might be paying attention, and of course, people would be paying attention. Later, when Viserys wailed on him, Daemon said he wanted Rhaenyra, wanted to restore House Targaryen to its former glory. Viserys was not down for that, reminding him that (a) he already had a wife, and (b) he didn't want Rhaenyra, he only wanted the throne. And he banished him again.
Now about this, the Inside the Episode featured the showrunners saying that Daemon had taken Rhaenyra on their little adventure to get back at Viserys, to get under his skin, and that, of course, if he were to marry Rhaenyra, it would get him closer to the throne, and the Daemyra fam (including myself) pish-poshed that notion. Nuh uh, we all said. Daemon doesn't care about the throne, he wants Rhaenyra. Viserys is a blind fool, and the showrunners are talking crack. But, erm, nope, taking off my pretty Daemyra-colored glasses, the two things can both be true. Yes, Daemon realized that he wanted Rhaenyra, because, duh, obviously he did. But he still wanted the throne. He did.
Look at Episode 1-4. Daemon was introduced ON THE IRON THRONE. He reminded Rhaenyra he was the heir. He listened in on the Small Council meetings in private to keep apprised of what was going on. He established his own personal little army essentially with the City Watch. He made his own name for himself, fighting (and eventually) winning the war (for a time) in the Stepstones, and being named King there. He arranged to compromise Rhaenyra and had he succeeded in sleeping with her it is very likely that Daemon would have been able to convince (with a besotted Rhaenyra) to convince Viserys to set aside his unconsummated marriage to Rhea so that he could marry Rhaenrya. Boom, Daemon is now King Consort heir.
Episode 5 - He gets rid of the wife, makes his way back just before she is to wed, he's got six days to upend that, right? Alas, things goes South.
Episode 6 - Of all the women in Westeros, who does he marry? The daughter of the second most powerful man (arguably THE most) in Westeros, Corlys Velaryon. The only problem, and this is where the love story comes in because, yes, Daemon and Rhaenyra DO have this love story. It's NOT just that Daemon wants to restore House Targaryen to its former glory. It's not just that Daemon wants to be respected by Viserys. It's not just that Daemon wants the throne. Nope, Daemon also is in love, madly in love, with Rhaenyra. So, we have the ten years of a Daemon Targaryen who is a shadow of the man he was. He no longer burns. Because he can not flicker, light up without his other half. He just cannot. Just as she cannot.
Episode 7 - They reunite. They burn. Just as they are meant to.
Episode 8 - All of the feelings, all of the love that Daemon felt for Viserys come to the fore. All of the love, all of the desire for the Targaryen glory to burn rise as the signs of it have been stricken from the Red Keep. The only softness we see from Daemon, the only sign of the good in him is the love for Rhaenyra, Viserys, and the children, but the violent, bloodthirsty anger is there, seething beneath the surface.
Episode 9 - The Greens do their thang.
Episode 10 - It all comes to a head. Look back, look at what we've seen with Daemon throughout the series' run so far. He was the heir, introduced on the Iron Throne. He wanted to be at Viserys' side the whole time. He wanted to be TRUSTED by Viserys. Rhaenyra, "the object of his ire," was made heir fourteen years -- at the least -- long after he had been heir. He was pushed around from position to position, moved like a worthless piece that Viserys didn't have time for while his brother trusted fucking Otto Hightower and Daemon did what he could in each role, never being trusted, never being regarded as worthy. He loved Rhaenyra for years. He lost ten years with her because Viserys didn't trust him, didn't listen to him. Rhaenyra's favor at court, reputation was damaged nearly irreparably, constantly having to be defended because Viserys wouldn't allow him to wed her. All because Viserys thought him unworthy.
And he wanted it. He DID want it. We know that. We know that from episode 01. We saw that. And here we are, the moment they find out, Daemon was ready, Daemon was decisive, making plans, sending out ravens, doing what needs be done, for Rhaenyra, for the Targaryen House glory, acting as a king would do. But as Jace reminded him--which he ignored--and then Rhaenyra reminded him by standing down his orders, which he did listen to--he was not the king. She was the queen. She was the one that Viserys found worthy. She was the one that Viserys trusted. Not him, never him. And then, ah, and then, it all came to a head.
Rhaenyra casually mentioned the Song of Ice and Fire dream. She mentioned it to him as if she expected him to know because, of course, he did. He had been the heir to the Iron Throne for years. Of course, Viserys had told him. Daemon was heir to the throne. Daemon was Viserys' heir, he must have trusted him. He *must* have told him. But. He. Had. Not. Because Viserys didn't trust him. He thought he was unworthy. A dishonorable man. And the person standing there, telling him this, bringing this final act of knowledge to him, the last "gift" from his brother, the last thing he would ever learn from Viserys now that he was dead was Rhaenyra, the one who knew, the one Viserys found worthy, the one that Viserys trusted, the object of his ire.
Daemon was awful and wrong and terrible for what he did to Rhaenyra. Daemon is also wild and turbulent and a violent man who is suffering through the most chaotic couple of days of his entire life.
His brother--who he deeply loved and deeply hated in equal parts--just died.
Daemon believed that same brother was slain by the people who stole his wife's crown.
His wife's throne was usurped. A throne that has been in his family for generations. Nevermind that technically the usurper is also his family, their Hightowers, damnit!
His wife also had a stillborn baby which is terrible enough on its own, but his last wife also would have had a stillborn baby--had she not surrendered herself to dragonfire.
He was this close to killing Otto Hightower. Thisclose! But Rhaenrya wouldn't let him. Fuuuuck! THISCLOSE!
It's been a chaotic crazy few days. Even for Daemon Targaryen. He forgot himself. He was very bad. Daemon is a very, very bad boy. We know this. It doesn't mean he doesn't still love Rhaenrya. After all, he was the one who came to her with news of Luke. Held her hand for a long, long moment. Stood beside her. And I have little doubt he will continue to stand beside her. Because he loves her. We've seen that plainly throughout the run of the series' so far. Just as we've seen that he also wanted the throne. But, you know what? He has given that up... FOR Rhaenyra. Again, because he loves her.
So, yeah, for anyone who thinks that everything that happened in this episode hasn't had the seeds lain? They have. They most definitely have.

HEYYY, crazy what royal pain (in the ass) does right? wanna share some insight? the shit he does and all? maybe stuff he is involved in with the po peeps? >:3
Oh boy, I got a lot to say about that man and his constantly screwing up stuff. JNSAKASKASJK
First off, he ruined Nadine's singing career and she never forgave him for it. Yes, the poor girl can't sing but she thought this guy would help her get out there. He didn't. He was all about money and his songwriting was crap. Yes, he rewrote some lyrics for her and even added unnecessary sounds to her songs. She also had to take him to court to make sure she has ownership of her songs, her original songs. The last thing she wants is this British Wario getting money from her own music.
He was also involved in the production of El Luchador's movie El Luchador's Great Adventures. To Royal, it was a masterpiece. To Luchy, it's his old shame. Any mention of this movie makes him squirm and he tried to pass it off as lost media but unfortunately it's available to view online (in 480p or someone upscaled it). And if it got an official release, he wants no involvement in interviews or any of that. He is known to block people when they mention the film to him. Yes, he hates it that much.
Originally, the film was going to have a great script, bigger budget, and Luchy's favorite director was going to direct and produce it. Unfortunately, said director fell ill with food poisoning and in came Royal Pain who took over immediately and is believed to have something to do with the director dropping out. This lead to him changing the script and plot, making casting changes, crappy budget because Royal is a cheap bitch, and despite this, Luchy and his co stars gave it their all. The film flopped hard but later on became a cult classic. Despite that it has garnered fans, Luchy still hates the movie, mostly due to it being a reminder of the production hell he went through and also being a reminder of how much he hates Royal.
He also has a dating show which received mixed reviews but has led to many memes made about it. It was after that he was hired to be executive producer and writer for Joe's own short-lived show, Le Glass Show (a pun on Le Glass Joe). Like Nadine's singing career and Luchy's movie, he managed to turn this show into a flop. The show underwent so many rewrites, reshoots, and only six episodes were filmed. And yes, he was still a cheap bastard with budget. it was cancelled after three episodes with only the last three not airing and at the moment is lost media. Rumor has it that the last three episodes were deleted with the show ending on a cliff hanger with Joe and Kaiser (who was cast as Joe's neighbor/bestie and eventual love interest) who are about to kiss and before they can do so or say anything, it turns to black and credits roll. Gabby Jay was cast as Joe's father. The show was known for it's low budget, bad acting and writing, and overuse of the laugh track. It was said the show was actually going to be good with a better producer, director and writers but the changes happened and unfortunately with Royal's involvement, it turned into a flop.
If there's a lesson to be learned, never EVER work with Royal Pain. Anything he touches, flops. There's a reason why the boxers even Aran and Narcis enjoy bullying him.

Spider-Man/Peter Parker
Chronology of Peter's life in my AU
Tumblr media
At first, things are going just like in TSSM, untill episode 10 of second season. After Peter took down Three Biggest Bosses of New York's crime, Nick Fury becomes interest in this outstanding youngster. As soon as Fury gets the real identity, he secretly contacts him, offering him to try to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. Peter is not sure, since the job must be dangerous, but after some logical thinking of pros and cons of this opportunity, he eventually agrees. (He can make some real money there)
Then, he meets his team or co-workers, Ava Ayala AKA White Tiger, Danny Rand AKA Iron Fist, Luke Cage AKA Power-Man and Sam Alexander AKA Nova. Since Peter of my AU is both USM and TSSM versions of Peter, he's much more cooperative and frienlier, however still keeps distance because after all he's still introverted person and he's fine with having only his 2 friends and 1 girldriend(Gwen, Harry and Liz). But unfortunately for Pete, Liz can't stand his double life and soon they break up. Not like anyone is heartbroken, but it still does affect Peter, because now he feels shitty for being a total mess that can't keep his life together.
His teammates notice that(they're studying with him just like in USM), so they stop tease him that much and gave him a break. Frightfull Four, unlike his team, didn't care about his hard time, so they didn't give him a break, but instead became a daily pain in the ass. They were so annoying, that it irritated whole S.H.I.E.L.D. team so much, that it made them to get to know each other more and finally became friends. Soon enough Peter's team gets so good at beating Frightfull Four, they finally catch them and bring them to justice.
That's when he meats X-Men, young mutants or just people that were lucky(or unlucky) to be born with powers. Peter shocked that it's possible, just like his team. They even more shocked that Fury KNEW about that and never told them! When they ask why, he just says: "Doing a little favor for Old Friend", and Old Friend in question is Wolverine, a Man that's even more grumpier than Fury. Peter is so excited to get to know these unique individuals, he asks for few days off and goes to Bayville, where he meats other X-Men. They quickly become friends and threw a party to celebrate that. Meanwhile Brotherhood is so pissed that X-Men have another add to their 'little' team, that they decide to ruin the party. And they're hella lucky, since Frightfull Four is here to get their revenge! Finally Brotherhood doesn't feel outmached. But uh-oh, Frightfull Four has their own plans and they're here only for Spider, while Brotherhood is here for X-Men. And since these guys aren't the best at communicating, soon they have fight with each other. X-Men and Spider-Man are confused by that, but not complaining.
Had fun, Peter? Time for pain, because Sinister SIx is out and now they're Sinister Seven. New technologies, new strategies, new members!(Sandman, Venom, Shocker - is out; Kraven, Mysterio, Scorpion - is in) The opportunity to say hi to old and new foes strikes Peter as soon as possible. The Fight is brutal, Peter wouldn't made it out alive if not his team. He thinks about what to do, Sinister Seven is out and they're extremely dangerous! So what's the plan now? Assemble new team! After that happens pretty much happens everything what happed in season 3 and half of season 4 of USM, except for there's no Iron-Spider(Amadeus Cho is Branch), X-Men and even Brotherhood that helped them to fight HYDRA.
After that, he becames extremely close to Web-Warriors, thanks to S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. Wolverine jokes a bit about how Fury copies Proffesor X, but Fury isn't hiding the fact that he was inspired by Xavier's Academy for Youngsters. Sometimes they even have team-up lessons, that are really fun. And Meanwhile Pete enjoys his life, a new team was assembled by itself. Ms Marvel, Kid Arachnid and Nova start a new team - Champions, about which Peter was completely clueless untill it was finally full of members. "Wow, since when Sam and Miles are best pals?" - he asks himself outloud and then gets the answer from Sam: "Like...since Miles got here from his dimension?" "Oh yeahhhhh....yeahhh....I remember that"
Finally, the end of this chronology is same end of USM. Peter finishes his studies at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy and becomes The Ultimate Spider-Man and a Teacher for new teenager heroes at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy(even tho he's not even 21 yo yet)
Tumblr media
That's all, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Prelims, Vote 3 of 8
The top 4 finales will move on to be included in the main bracket
Propaganda is under the cut, may include spoilers
Blake's 7 - 4.13 Blake
Technically, the episode is a very, very good one. Hell, I wouldn't wish for a different finale, to be honest. It's perfect, in its own "What the actual hell!?" way, and it does wonders for the show's themes of doomed struggle. The problem with it is that it was intended to be just a *series* finale, not the *show's* finale, so it ends on an extremely high-stakes cliffhanger. It's fantastic, it's scary, it's heartbreaking, you want more, you want to see it resolved... and the show was cancelled after the fourth series. So all we have is an extremely bleak ending with all but one character presumed dead and that damned last smile in the face of overwhelming odds in a completely hopeless situation.
Castle Rock (2018) - 1.10 Romans
When this show was coming out I was still deep in my Stephen King hyperfixation so needless to say I was *stoked*. But man this was one of the most underwhelming things I've watched. With episodes released weekly we had two months of people going insane with theories, new revelations, Stephen King fans digging up their old books to pick for scraps of hints that could explain what's going on, every week there were new video essays and analyses of the new episode, subreddit buzzing with the wildest theories about who is this mysterious character of The Kid who's kicked the whole plot in motion and what the hell is going on with the seemingly cursed town. And then the finale came and just. Nothing. Everything went back to square one. The Kid is locked back up in the same cage he was originally found in. Nothing was explained. Everyone moves on as if nothing happened. After two months of Castle Rock being the main focus of all of my free time this completely took the wind out of my sails and I completely lost interest in the show and honestly, soon almost forgot it even existed. When the second season came out I didn't watch even the first episode, even though the second season *might* have explained everything, I simply didn't care enough to find out anymore. And from what I've seen, others have felt the same way because since the first season ended I haven't really seen anyone talk about the show.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - 4.08 Chapter Thirty-Six: At The Mountains of Madness
Ok so in fairness this entire final season sucked but the real kicker is that in the final scene we learn that after the main character died, her love interest killed himself in order to be with her in the afterlife. Yeah, a teenager committed suicide and we were supposed to see that as a happy ending.
Choukou Senshi Changerion - 1.39 Over the Times...
It's the last episode, which means no new information or worlds should be introduced, right? WRONG. Inoue (the main writer) decided that, for this last episode, we should see into an alternate (maybe, perhaps) timeline alongside the regular content. The bad guys are coming, except our main guy is starting to go down and remembering all the things that have happened, as well. And then it just ends. On an explosion, of course. Roll Credits!
The Get Down - 5.11 Only from Exile Can We Come Home
rushed to complete the show and low on budget, the writers sent every character besides the protagonist (zeke) to their worst possible fate. shao, finally free and with the person he loved, was coerced to return to the sexually abusive woman who had been his boss since he was a child. dizzee is implied to have been struck by a train after breaking his boyfriend out of prison for graffiti. and boo-boo, the 14 year old, is arrested for selling drugs. in some ways its thematically appropriate, but the unrelenting viciousness of the end of each character's story is sudden, deeply tonally jarring, and leaves the audience feeling despondent and hopeless even with the main character surviving to sing it all as an adult and his love interest finding success as a singer, albeit far away in another city. tgd is an excellent show, but besides being cancelled, the big kicker for it was that the romantic lead mylene didn't hit for a lot of people, and watchers who preferred shao and zeke to get together due to having such strong chemistry and a well-developed bond probably had a very different experience than the writers had intended. mylene is a fine character and she's unfairly disliked by a lot of watchers, but her romance with zeke was simply not as well developed as shao's and zeke's relationship was
Grimm - 3.22 Blond Ambition
It forgoes the usual: 'there is a scary wesen that is causing problems and we can solve this' formula to pay off other plot points, but it kinda makes the episode feel less tethered. The focus is a wedding between supporting characters, whilst a former finale villain is just stalking around town and also a (corrupt) FBI agent is preparing to make his move. Both make their moves and the results are kinda lame. The agent is almost immediately beheaded rendering his active threat moot. And the other villain disguised herself as the MC's girlfriend and sleeps with him. The only major points are the wedding, a police captain getting shot (glossed over here but become relevant next season), the FBI agent dying (it starts a dull investigation next season), and the MC losing his power right at the end (which led to one of the worst periods in the show until he regains his powers...)

Musze się przyznać spodobała mi się pokojowa linia czasu czy będzie tego kolejny rozdział.
Previous Episode of the Peaceful Timeline
One little snippet I wrote out
Translation: I have to admit I liked the peaceful timeline, will there be another chapter of this.
Well maybe. Depends how interested people are. There are a question by darkrenger or something but they submitted it as a submission and not a ask, so I couldn't answer it. The gist of the question was what happened to Eldia as a whole after King Fritz's death.
I'm going to say that Optimus took Ymir six years into her power, so yeah, the Eldian Empire didn't do too much damage to the rest of the world. And some of the soldiers were...actually moved by Optimus' actions and words during his battle with Ymir. Sure, the public census is that Optimus slayed Ymir, but those soldiers knew the truth. Optimus appealed to a monster. He wanted to save a monster who he recognized was a slave to King Fritz. The monster was afraid of King Fritz. So to imprison all of the Eldians based on the actions of one man, what were the chances that Marley themselves would be creating another monster. So they don't enslave Eldia and come to a rather uneasy compromise that takes time to work out. With time, it works though.
Still what else happened in the Peaceful Timeline:
-Optimus and Ymir kind of go through the motions of getting more acclimated with each other and going through a lot of the hurdles involving Ymir's pregnancy.
-Optimus and Megatron's relationship is...quite shaky when they encounter each other again. Even Ymir notices something is off, which is why she stays so close to Optimus.
-Oh, when Ymir goes into labor, it's literal panic mode, because Ymir didn't want to get anyone in the village involved. She just couldn't trust them. Optimus does ask some of the mothers on what to do and takes notes, so Optimus has to help deliver the baby! And Megatron has to help Ymir deal with the pain. Megatron thinks this whole situation is disgusting and annoying and doesn't take it too seriously when he gives Ymir his hand...Only to have her fucking shatter it in her grip as she screaming in pain. Not a fun experience for Megatron, since Megatron is now on the floor dealing with the aftershock. Soundwave putting pain receptors in the holoform was such a stupid idea!
-But the baby was delivered safely, and Optimus follows the rules on bathing the baby while Ymir heals from her wounds. Megatron is just so fucking annoyed at this point! All of that for that thing?! It looks like a slagging potato! (He doesn't voice it out loud but he is thinking it). Optimus wraps the baby and hands her over to Ymir, and both of them can't help but notice the way Ymir cries and holds her daughter so close, like she's the most precious thing in the world. Like she was the only thing that mattered.
-Doesn't mean things are easy. Things do get more complicated for the three, because now there was an another living being in the home that had no real way to communicate other that crying. Megatron helps with getting food for Ymir, since he doesn't want to deal with the baby crying, while Optimus helps take care of the child. They still haven't named her yet. They don't know what to name her.
-There is one time the child gets sick and Ymir doesn't know what to do and she's terrified. Optimus is trying what he can while consoling Ymir, and Megatron's gotten too attached so he goes into town and tells them about the baby's condition. Megatron doesn't really have money, so in exchange for supplies, he'll do some hard labor for the town. Which the locals agree to. The baby gets the medicine and recovers. And Ymir hugs Megatron and thanks him, and Megatron just feels awkward.
-Megatron ultimate decision is what gets Optimus and Ymir more involved with the village. They see Megatron working on roof in holoform and Optimus...doesn't know how to feel about it.
-The village knows for a fact that all three of them are fucking odd, but Megatron provides help, albeit begrudgingly, and Optimus is extremely kind to the locals. The women of the village help name her baby "Maria". Funny how thinks work out.
-When Maria does learn how to crawl, stand, and walk, it's a weird sight for both of them. Because Optimus and Megatron are already given those basic functions as a Cybertronian, but Ymir feels so happy when Maria walks over to her and she holds her tight.
-Optimus communicates with Maria in a rather gentle manner. Not really baby talk but it's still extremely sweet. Maria coos at the sight of him and reaches her pudgy hands to Optimus' holoform.
-Megatron talks to Maria like an adult. He will have full blown conversations with her, and she has no idea what he's saying and it's really just Megatron talking with himself. If Maria babbles or gurgles, Megatron takes it as a sign that Maria agrees or disagrees and continues talking. Optimus is just shook while Ymir giggles at the sight.
-Ymir does whisper to her to say Mama because she does want her baby to hear her voice, even though she mainly communicates through reading and writing, and it does work because Maria does say 'Ma!' and Ymir just treasures her even more. She loves her daughter.
-Maria ends up calling Optimus 'Pop' because she can't say Optimus or 'Op'. She assumes 'Pop' and Optimus spark seizes.
-Maria calls Megatron 'Meg', and Megatron is embarrassed and infuriated. Excuse you?! Megatron picks Maria up, looks her dead in the eye, and tells her his name is Megatron. Me. Ga. Tron. She stills says 'Meg' with a giggle, and it's a back and forth of 'Megatron' and 'Meg' and Optimus is just 0.5 seconds away from dying of laughter. Megatron's had enough and tells Ymir to take her child because she's broken. Ymir is just happy and kisses her cheek because 'Meg' was her third word.
-Megatron is aware of who Maria's father is, and part of him...just can't understand. The man harmed Ymir and kept her as a slave. Why in the Allspark would she keep his creation and carry out his legacy? Optimus does explain that other means are not available in this day and age. Everything is extremely different from Earth's standards. Even so, Ymir loves that child, and doesn't see Fritz. She just sees her child. Optimus then asks Megatron if the child should be judged for the actions her father committed? And Megatron just see's a helpless little baby put her foot in her mouth and begrudgingly says no. The baby was completely clueless about everything.
-Ymir is actually ridiculously smart in this timeline because she has Optimus as her teacher. She can't really speak, but she can read and write. Optimus also teaches her about the stars and where he and Megatron came from and Ymir can't help but admire them more.
-Optimus calls Maria 'sweet spark' as a little nickname and enjoys the way Maria laughs at the nickname.
-Megatron gets used to Maria calling him 'Meg' and just doesn't bother correcting it. He's actually endeared to it, but refuses to admit it.
The Peaceful Timeline is just fluff and shenanigans with a hint of angst here and there because of Ymir's trauma.
