#nope probably not

[evviejo]

so i've just remembered about the Regenerating Clothes Fiasco, and i'm furious all over again.

let's just reiterate it one more (but not last) time:

the doctor staying in the previous incarnation's clothes is part of the change

it emphasises the fact that it's still the same person

finding the new outfit is part of establishing the new incarnation

denying us all of that is a slap in the fans' faces and trampling the legacy of the show

especially when they were already messing with that by having the doctor randomly regenerate into a previous incarnation

the mockery is not in putting a male actor in thirteen's clothes, it's in saying that it would be mockery to do so.

rtd, you suuuuck.

#anti rtd #dw stuff #will i ever forgive him this #nope probably not

Izzy and Who Does the Work

So I was thinking the other day about work dynamics and how one early interview compared OFMD to a workplace comedy. The comparison was fairly thin, since there was a throwaway line about the crew of The Revenge spending all of the first episode deciding whether or not to murder Stede (their captain/boss).

However, there’s also this much better take: a conversation between the most excellent meta writers @chuplayswithfire and @knowlesian about Izzy the toxic leader that I want to riff on a bit. 

And I want to talk a little about what it’s like to be the person who works for a toxic manager (aka: Izzy) and that journey and why it’s harmful/erasing to believe Izzy when he claims he’s doing all the work.

At the root of his claims is an unfounded belief and self-perception (toxic, untrue pretty much in any workplace):

No one else is competent (arrogance)

Confuse direction (delegation) with action (work)

Assume things will fail without their involvement (micromanaging)

We’re going to talk about the impact beliefs like this have on others and their experiences. 

Because really important and complicated tasks are by necessity collaborative, there’s a truism in strategic studies that: “Remember, terrain doesn’t wage war. Machines don’t wage war. People do and they use their mind!” 

No matter how good a plan or a strategy is, unless it’s executed well (by the people on the ground) it will fail. Izzy reminds me of the guy who just doesn’t quite understand the above because he treats everyone around him like interchangeable action-doing machines. If they would only just do everything exactly like he says, everything would work and be fine!

Izzy does not live in actual reality by any measure.

Izzy justifies his violence toward others as necessary in order to get them to conform (except he calls it ‘doing the work’) and that ends up hurting everyone around him and even himself ... when it’s people like Fang, Ivan, Frenchie, Oluwande, and Roach quite frequently doing their work well IN SPITE OF HIM or primarily out of some loyalty and admiration for Edward Teach, Blackbeard, most brilliant sailor alive and (actually good) leader.

Blackbeard’s crew notably has no love or loyalty for Izzy ... they reserve it for Edward, who also instantly wins over the crew of The Revenge, too.

His reputation precedes him.

Good leaders:

Say thank you.

Give credit to the team.

Listen to the ideas of others.

Remain confident and humble (because it’s important that people WANT to do the work).

Does the list above remind you of anyone? If you said Edward Teach you were correct.

It’s fun to watch Edward TEACH (haha a pun!) these techniques to Stede and it’s a bit FLABBERGASTING that Izzy has managed to serve and follow a good leader for so many years while LEARNING NOTHING. 

Izzy believes he’s essential to Edward’s success ... when the crew has been organizing things just fine because they love Edward, a bit like Izzy himself does (while making it weird forever). In fact? When Izzy removes himself from The Revenge after the duel? Nothing melts down and nothing implodes. 

Fang and Ivan have things on lock with or without Izzy giving them a hard time -- and we even get that beautiful “co-captains” moment with Edward and Stede that breaks me on every rewatch because they suggest it, bashfully, together in the same moment. 

Izzy Hands You Elitist Jerk

Izzy Hands is the man who remains ignorant because he thinks he knows everything -- he’s the kind of person who cannot be taught. 

In the rock-climbing world, a beginner who confidently ignores everyone’s offers of help or education is known as a “gumby” ... after the hard rubber kid’s toy that nothing will stick to.

While Izzy is far from a beginner at piracy (that’s Stede), unlike Stede he is willfully and comfortably blind to the talents and contributions of others. 

Izzy is the kind of person who equates vulnerability with shame and who is terrified to admit he doesn’t know something. 

Izzy is someone who demands respect without earning it (abuse of positional authority), who takes credit for the work without doing it, and who punishes people who have done nothing wrong (in pretty consistently gross ways).

I love to hate him and I hate understanding him. He’s a pretty good example of a toxicity death-spiral and, as Edward calls him: a real bummer. But enough about Izzy, let’s talk about one of the people he’s unjustly ignoring.

Consider Fang - My Hero

Fang is unironically the most amazing crew member and Izzy treats him horribly from Episode 03. 

Who spots The Revenge run aground in the intro shot with Blackbeard’s crew? Ivan and Fang. Who leads the shore party? Izzy. Strike one.

Who pulls Fang by the beard (what the FUCK) when he asks why Blackbeard wants to follow Stede’s ship and then tells Fang it’s not his job to fuckin’ think (EXCUSE ME) in the most heinous way possible? Izzy.

To be honest if I were Fang I’d have murdered Izzy right there, but Fang’s too nice a person to do anything but tell it like it is:

FANG: Ow, that really hurts! I hate it when he does that.

Implying this is NOT THE FIRST TIME this has happened to him. This is yet another of Izzy’s toxic entitled power moves to keep other people “in their place.” With all the loaded classist, colorist, and racist associations of that phrase fully intact in these scenes, by the way!

We see Izzy once again making things awful in the scene with Lucius cleaning barnacles, which is yet another pointless cruelty and/or punishment. Who pulls Lucius up and rescues him? Fang. Who says no one has ever taken an interest in his form before? Fang. 

Lucius is right to say that Fang’s never met anyone worth a damn!

Who is it that tells Lucius (and by extension Roach and Frenchie) about Izzy the Spewer? Fang.

Who listens to Edward telling ghost stories in Episode 06 and says it seems like he’s having an awfully nice time? Fang. Who says it’s the most open and emotionally available he’s ever seen Edward? Ivan.

Izzy is the only person in the named ‘original’ crew of Blackbeard who calls this openness seduction and insists that the plan is still on, because “he promised me.” Excuse me Izzy WHAT? When did Edward promise you shit? Never that’s when.

Which brings me around to the problem with Izzy: he thinks respect is what he’s owed, not something earned and voluntarily (freely) given. Izzy Hands doesn’t say thank you to anyone. 

Even when Edward Teach signs the Act of Grace to save Stede Bonnet (because he loves Stede, because Stede is his friend), Izzy is the one in the corner telling him he doesn’t have to do this. Like the only reason anyone could ever make a sacrifice is because it was pried out of them by force rather than -- as the title puts it -- through grace.

Responsibility Doesn’t Mean Taking the Credit, It Means Taking the Blame

Let me tell you I, like Fang, have worked for “an Izzy.” 

And in the MMO gaming realm (a bit more like piracy than most capitalist workplaces, imho!) ... the Izzy Hands attitude is pretty endemic and that dysfunction bleeds over into drama, greed, and self-serving petty awfulness.

Why compare MMO raid groups to piracy? A few reasons:

It’s not a formal commitment. You can stay or go at any time.

You have your choice of ‘crews.’

You have your choice of leaders (insofar as if someone pisses you off, and you’re in a place of trust, you can steal their shit and laugh your way to the bank - think Calico Jack)

Standard procedures vary based on the group (culture, respect, organizational structure, etc.)

The informal-but-still-structured nature of the endeavor means having to decide where to place your effort -- having just enough trust in the group leadership that you won’t get fucked over (you’ll get your loot) and that as a whole the group can take on big challenges without those being totally futile

Picking the wrong group is a waste of time (you get no loot; Stede’s crew is starts out here even though they get a salary)

Picking the group that gets things done but are miserable fucks is miserable (Calico Jack)

Picking the right group is badass and can be a source of pride AND loot (Edward Teach, Thee Great Blackbeard)

Edward is that phenomenal raid leader with a fantastic crew who has an absolutely jack-shit “co-leader” who is ruining everyone’s day.

Stede Bonnet has it right in Episode 04!

STEDE: Ed, do you know this guy? Because he’s an asshole!

And you know what really breaks me about this scene? Stede Bonnet in Blackbeard’s clothes is standing in for what Edward has to put up with in managing his unhinged, angry, furious, exhausted, taking-the-credit-but-not-the-responsibility first mate, one Israel Hands.

The biggest power move in my current place of work that defuses conflicts?

“I take full responsibility.”

Izzy Hands takes and takes and takes everything except responsibility.

Look What You Made Me Do

So yeah, as much as I enjoy Izzy Hands as a character, I can’t help but think his protestations and his viewpoint are not to be taken seriously, much less justified.

Leaning too far with OFMD meta analysis into Muppet-land, or corporatism, or any of a number of other useful metaphors ... can tip over into accepting Izzy’s harmful self-justification (excuses!). 

Careless use of metaphor has the double-bind effect of letting Izzy take credit he has not earned while erasing the work that the rest of the crew are doing more quietly (very well, thanks, because they’re amazing and they just DO what needs to be done rather than grandstanding about it):

Frenchie - A bard. Invents pyramid schemes and fanfiction. Sews. Code-switching master who Edward picks for his “new crew” because he’s a badass who was ‘in service’ for a minute, has a mind like a steel trap, and navigates every situation with grace and aplomb.

Oluwande - Voted Captain after Izzy gets thrown overboard. Level-headed. The man Blackbeard’s crew picked to lead them instead of Izzy when they thought Edward Teach was never going to return.

Roach - A chef, a “knives are knives, meat’s meat” doctor who will always get the job done. Treats scurvy. Makes a mean tapas. Calls Stede on his bullshit (I wasn’t asking you, I was asking him (Buttons)). Embodiment of ‘fuck around and find out’ (entertained). Wins the award for best smile.

Ivan - Professional with an eye for valuables (spotted the Revenge aground; dibs on the gold teeth; ‘I’ve never seen him so open and emotionally available’).

Fang - BLACKBEARD’S HELMSMAN. Buries Lucius’s finger at sea.  ‘That Brown Peter, he can’t be first mate. I saw him talking to Izzy about it before. Never. Disaster. No offense, Lucius.’  Give him a dog in season two.

Did you notice they were all men of color? 

Because if we talk too much about how Izzy “just wants performance awards and recognition” I am afraid we are contributing to ignoring at whose expense he is operating, and once again justifying a white man’s mistreatment of POC while he(we!) ignore, minimize, and erase the actual work they are doing.

And that’s not a narrative I’m looking to repeat or reinforce, and I am as capable of fucking up as the next hyperfixated OFMD meta writer, so ...

Moving Forward

That mutiny scene at the end of Episode 09 has something to teach us!

Go back and re-watch it! It took me a bit to get all the dialogue (had to turn on captions because there’s a song playing at the same time):

IZZY: Okay, okay! Maybe, maybe we got off to a bad start. But, what, what, what, what, can I do differently, huh? I’m open to suggestions!

ROACH: Mm-hm! (Delighted, smiling like it’s his birthday, getting ready to throw Izzy overboard)

IZZY: Pete! Help me out here!

PETE: For the record, I never formally accepted the role of “first mate” and I fully endorse this mutiny.

IZZY: Gah! Y-you, you, you don’t have to do this. Part of good leadership is restraint. [Looking at Oluwande.]

OLUWANDE: Everyone’s got their own style.

Like LOOK AT IT???

This show is so good I swear. And if you’re gonna doubt me or doubt other meta writers about the anti-racist beats (Ivan and Fang are in the foreground during the mutiny, all of the people throwing Izzy overboard are men of color ... and the people Izzy has hurt the most are the ones taking the lead in pitching him overboard) ... FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING BELIEVE THE SHOW.

Izzy even uses the classic racist tone-policing excuses to try to get some sympathy!

“Part of good leadership is restraint?”

IZZY GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK. WHERE WAS YOUR RESTRAINT WITH FANG? (His poor beard. It really hurts, Izzy you bag of dicks. As you would know if you ever listened to him.)

Anyway! 

Thanks Izzy fandom I love you, I’m one of you, but let’s not make Izzy’s exact same mistake by believing his warped self-serving story about how he’s the one doing all the work.

Maybe (if you’re a white fan like me) ... start by taking responsibility to focus on THE HARM IZZY DOES TO OTHERS and taking a second or a third watch looking at the people around him rather than ... you know, minimizing the harm and exclaiming ‘but he did the work!’, just like he tries to do when he’s getting thrown overboard.

Here’s the on-screen truth: the crew’s just fine without him. Better than fine! Living their best lives! Getting free of a toxic ex!

Acting like Izzy is the only competent pirate on a crew of otherwise muppets erases the men of color who are amazing and doing just fine without him and don’t need that bullshit in their narrative -- from Izzy, from fandom, from meta writers like me, or from anyone.

Blackbeard’s crew and the crew of The Revenge deserve better, especially from people like me who write about Izzy Hands.

Because I’m thinking a lot about Fang and Frenchie lately, who are my personal heroes. And Jim. 

And where OFMD is going to go with everyone, including Izzy, in our renewed-for-pride Season Two ... so what do we do? We talk it through as a crew.

See Also: It’s Not About You, Izzy for the other half of this meta where I talk about why OFMD is (rightly) Edward Teach’s story and the narrative framing could not be more clear about that.

[detroitbecomefandom]

Please I have a question can you explain HOW the ship RK900 and Gavin came ?😭 It just popped up out of nowhere :') I mean, we see RK900 for like 2sec and he never met Gavin so I was wondering how the fandom come up with this ship (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Still, all the memes on it make me laugh so whatever it is still funny tho

Thank you in advance <3

I'm not even gonna lie, my first impression of the ship when I joined the fandom was literally oh my god why these two. Of all the fleshed out, genuinely well-written characters in the game, 80% of the fandom decided to mash together two generic white dudes into what turned into one of the most prominent (and widely debated) ships in the DBH community. This might have been because people started shipping them as a joke at first in a bandwagon type situation (at least, that's how I went about it) before unironically shipping them

Personally, I think part of the appeal of the reed900 ship was the creative liberty that people got out of it, especially since these two collectively got a solid five seconds of screen time in the entire game. Because they were essentially blank slates with absolutely no canonical development, content creators could basically do whatever what they wanted with the characters without restraints. You couldn't really get their character wrong, per se, because there wasn't really much character to begin with.

And also because the height difference is funny.

#but anyway that's my personal synopsis :) #hope it helps at least a wee bit #is this in any way representative of the entire community? #nope probably not #but hey we get some super cool content creators out of it #asks #chrys speaks

WIP Intro

(working/reference title)

“and you told me something that I didn’t know that I wanted,                             to hear that there was nothing that I could do to save you.”

For Natasha Garcia, this is a story of self-preservation. She has evidence that can protect her and her boyfriend from any further victimisation by the monstrous Seagrave. Her friends are working on making Seagrave’s bodyguard and lover see just what a horrible human being he is. Alone and powerless, Seagrave won’t be a threat to them anymore. If Natasha can destroy him, surely she can destroy the memories that thread dark tendrils through her mind and body every time she remembers her former best friends; Seagrave, lost to his own worst impulses. And Kyra, simply lost.

For Vasco Tate, this is a story of discovery. He agrees to Duke’s terrible, awful, very-not-good plan because that’s what he does, but in doing so he starts to see a side of his partner that he’d never considered before. Getting to know Garcia’s friends makes him question everything he thought he knew, and the distance from Duke throws some things into sharper clarity. The life he’s built may have cracks in the foundation, but damned if Vasco’s going to let it crumble without knowing the truth.

For Kaiden ‘Duke’ Seagrave, this is a story of obsession. He may have done monstrous things, but they are nothing compared to what he lived through. He’ll plot and scheme and he’ll get the evidence Garcia gathered during their friendship, and he’ll use it to complete the mission he began all those months ago, the one that started That Night. He’s lost Garcia and he’s lost Kyra and in doing this he may even lose Vasco; but Duke doesn’t care. He chases sensation like the addicts he caters to chase a high, and making the final two people pay for what they did will make him feel the way he so craves.

Summary: In the moons since his own father condemned him to torture at the hands of Charibert and Grinnaux for daring to confront him about the truth of Ishgard's founding, Aymeric has had little enough time to face the lingering effects of that trauma. Though his body has long since healed, nightmares of his time spent in their clutches plague him still.

Fortunately, he need not face them alone. Estinien has faced more than his share of hardships himself, and knows just how to offer comfort to his lover when needed, be it through stories of his family or the brush of his lips. So long as he is around, Aymeric need not fear the ghosts of his own past.

-

The crack of the whip resounded off the stone walls of the dungeon, the sound of its impact with my flesh hitting my ears a bare instant before the pain registered, another stripe added to the river of agony that my back had become. I bit my lip to keep from crying out, jerking at the chains that bound me at wrist and ankle. The rough stone chafed against the burns on my chest, grinding loose bits of gravel into the open wounds. The taste of blood filled my mouth, had coated my tongue for so long now I could hardly remember being free of it.

"I'm so glad we have this chance to get to know each other, Lord Commander," Charibert hissed in my ear, glee and scorn permeating his low voice in equal measure. The haze of pain ought to have made the words distant, but they rang through my ears with a horrifying clarity. "I have waited a long time to get my hands on you." He dragged one of those hands down my side in a touch that would have been intimate if not for the arcane fire that wreathed his palm, scorching down my flank. "Again," he commanded, stepping back, and the whip struck again, the flechettes at the end lancing across the fresh burn to make me hiss out in pain. I tugged futilely at the chains again, the scream of my dislocated shoulder almost enough to drown out the searing agony of my side.

Charibert sighed, a sound of utter disappointment. "You're making this so difficult for yourself, Aymeric. Perhaps you need a more permanent reminder of your place. Grinnaux, see to it that he can never again take up arms against us."

"Nothing would please me more," Grinnaux said from behind me. Hands came down upon my sword arm, jerking my shoulder maliciously as he undid the manacle around my right wrist. My gut clenched to know what was coming, how he would grab hold of my forearm and bicep and bend the joint back well past its limits, and how I would finally scream as he snapped my elbow in twain. How he would then take a mallet to it, to ensure it would not heal properly without attention that I was sure not to receive. I braced myself, the first tear slipping free before he had even taken me in hand, Charibert's laugh bouncing off the marbled walls of the chamber.

I woke with the sound of my arm shattering still in my ears and my face wet with tears. Hands gripped my shoulders and I panicked, struggling against them with all the strength I could muster.

"Aymeric. Aymeric. Aymeric!"

[ballisters-lawyer]

You can’t tell me that Ballister didn’t think that he had just been with Ambrosius in this scene omggg

^ so here we se Ballister waking up and still being tired or sore or something, which would normally be because he’s just been running around and fighting off guards with a Rhinoceros, BUT, he doesn’t know that because he has just woken up after being knocked out. So it’s only right to assume that he is currently wondering why he’s sore

^ he looks over and sees a FRESH and HOT cup of coffee or tea or wtvr, and freshly lit candles. Like the last set of images where there would’ve been something that tells him that there would have reminded him he wasn’t with Ambrosius (the last one being his prosthetic that was under the blanket), this one is the axe handle, but he doesn’t notice, instead looking at the candles and mug. The candles and mug themself are very caring and sweet things to have, and we know that movie Ambrosius is very caring and attentive, so this is definitely something he would do, and Ballister knows that

^ you can see how Ballister relaxes and smiles comfortably, contempt with having assumedly spending the night with Ambrosius

^ then this is where Ballister kinda wakes up to himself and knows that he’s not with Ambrosius (this is more implied when he’s slowly sitting up and looking at Nimona, knowing Ambrosius wasn’t there and now just confused with what had happened)

This is so silly and I am going FERAL over Bal and Ambrosius, so expect to see more of them, including a fic that’s currently being written trehee

#he thought he had just been railed or smth but nope you exploded shit #ballister x ambrosius #goldenheart #ballister blackheart #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #I still can’t get over how ambrosius’ name is just ‘immortal big dick’ #bal would probably second that claim tho #let’s be honest here #Nimona

Punchline

In those fics where Danny kills (or permanently maims/gets rid of) the joker on accident (or any random person who kills the joker honestly) his street name should be “punchline.”

Bc a Punchline is the end of a Joke.

Better if this is a world where ghosts fight for fun and stuff so Danny will also throw down with Grundy and Croc and Red Hood. He’ll fight random goons too, but he goes easy on them. Everyone knows he does. Like a mama cat play fighting with kittens.

“There goes Punchline, throwing hands. He’s down for a brawl but don’t cross The Line. Don’t make him mad. He earned that name, and it wasn’t with those puns.”

(Edit: I have been informed that Punchline is the name of Joker’s second girlfriend or something! We have decided that Danny stole the name the same way Jason stole Red Hood! Can we say power couple?)

Special delivery: Surprise Mini-box!

It had been a while since Danny was a hero in Amity Park, now that he was king he actually had fewer responsibilities than before, which was pretty ironic all things considered.

Meeting with the Observants was the most boring part of his day, but he had recently been entertaining himself with the Zone's ghost children, apparently many of his ex-rogues considered him an honorary godfather. The kids loved him so much it was almost worth missing out college.

His hero past wasn't a problem until Box Ghost told his daughter about his adventures when he fought Phantom on a daily basis, and how it was comforting to have your own hero. Lunch Lady joined the conversation and that could only end one way: Box Lunch wanted to be a rogue.

But she could not be one in Amity Park, her godfather took great care of it and that was already the place of his parents, so after she found a portal she began her search through different cities to find her ideal "hero" rival.

Neither the League nor all of their associates were ready for the baby ghost, the intangibility though basic had thrown most heroes off balance, eliminating the small list of colorful heroes Box had in her hand.

In exasperation she headed towards a new destination "Gotham"; by the time Danny found out about the mess from a guilty Box ghost, Box Lunch was making a mess on Crime Alley. Danny really hoped the vigilante would notice that the cause of the disaster was a child.

I saw one too many things about Ellie being strong and funny until ‘David broke her’ and fuck that bullshit #as someone who has been abused their entire life that stuff makes me mad as hell #that being said. if that’s what someone needs to do to cope. I bid them the best of luck and all of my love and support #bnha #mha #incorrect mha quotes #incorrect my hero academia quotes #mha incorrect quotes #bnha incorrect quotes #incorrect bnha quotes #shinsou is in the izucrew #shinsou hitoshi #asai tsuyu #incorrect izucrew #izucrew #izucrew as family
