#of connection between them already

[cathymee]

man why is mskm not biting as i thought it would be....

#like it's too early for the ✨emotional✨ stuff we don't even know these people #first scene of the main leads and the romantic undertone's already being forced with the theme song like :')) there's nothing..romantic- #about what happened..... #girlie almost got killed by the thief 😭😭 i think it would do better just being a comedic action scene #i feel like this show would rely more on their artists & the 'nostalgia' factor bc this *was* based on an old movie #which i wish wouldn't be the case...the main leads give off the klay and fidel dynamic already like they're expecting us to feel some sort- #of connection between them already #sorry this sounds so judgey shsgsjsgs idk there's something off about the pilot episode for me already #the scene w/her mother also didn't do it for me like. what was that 💀 #i don't think i'm articulating my points well but i jus 😭😭 what is going onnn #i'm still gonna watch the whole thing tho shdgjs see if i could hold onto this #rambles

theres is such a stark divide between traditional porn consumers (typically cis straight men) in the community and everyone else. like the rest of us are on a different conversational tier talking about ethical feedism and neurodivergence and they're still on that "being fat is gross and my douchebag friends make fun of me 🥲 how do i get rid of my kink??" shit.

#the ask where the anon thought feedism was inherently humiliation and the notes are dunking on them is making the rounds again #and there's an interesting connection i've seen between queer ppl tending towards softer feedism #and straight men tending towards the humiliation stuff #i love 2 ponder #already gotten some hostile responses so no #it's not ALL cis straight men #im sure there's a component of neurodivergence as well

personally i think katara is completely within in her right to be angry at and never forgive the man that killed her mother and in turn zuko is also within his right to be angry at and never forgive his abusers who gaslit manipulated scapegoated maimed banished and tried to kill him multiple times and neither of those things would make katara and/or zuko lesser than or bad people

#just a little hot take for ya there #holly talks bs #zuko #katara #zutara #yes i'm talking about azula too #zuko has no obligation to forgive or take responsibility for azula after everything #and yes this would still be the case even IF azula ever gets that fabled redemption arc #personally i'd like to see an azula redemption tackled that's almost entirely divorced from zuko/iroh/the gaang #because forgiveness from those you've victimised and redemption/atonement aren't actually the same #for instance zuko HAD already redeemed himself by the time of tsr #katara's personal forgiveness of him was a connected but nonetheless separate issue from his redemption they had to deal with between them

All That's Left follows two journalists and their friends in post-apocalyptic United States as they travel from the fallen east coast megalopolis Opportunity back to Los Angeles, crossing through a harsh wasteland overrun with zombies— only to find out that there is a lot more life left than what the protected cities want them to believe. On their journey they meet dozens of people living their lives as peaceful as possible away from military forces, corporations, and corrupt governments; and they learn that the same mutated ghouls that took down Opportunity are spreading rapidly through the country, destroying everything in their path. Will this finally be the end of the world as we know it?

#all that's left #edit:misc #nuclearedits #so um. hi. this is an original story i've been working on since 2016 and i love it so so much. sorry #it's not a tv show but i would love for it to be a tv show do you understand. my vision. are you seeing the vibes of this #it's BRIGHT. it's COLORFUL. it's FUN. there's so many cool characters and it's focused a lot on like #the connections between the main characters and all that #mac and layla (the journalists) go from having to write about this megalopolis which. if anything is just. a city version of a nepo baby #to writing about the people who are still living out there who are being completely overlooked by the safe cities and everything #everything really is not that bad out there!! in fact all of the misery that IS still in the wasteland is created specifically by like #the safe cities who keep snatching away supply drops from people who need it etc etc. and governments pretending that #there's no smaller settlements out there anymore and all that #and also there's zombies. ghouls. i call them ghouls but they have many funky names across the whole world in this universe #anyway yeah there's a lot more to this universe already because well 8 years in the making LMAO so i have another edit incoming #for the fictional season 2. aka book 2. yes there's a book 2. there's also a book 3 and 4. sorry for being insane #the linked playlists has songs for book 1-3 right now :] #if you have any questions PLEAAASSEEEE send me asks. preferably asks and not dms because tumblr dms suck ass #but i would love to talk more about this :^)

Vecna’s plan requiring Mike to leave for California means nothing. The number 1 following Mike cryptically at the airport means nothing. Them barely giving us Mike’s perspective the last two seasons (despite him being the original protagonist) means nothing and it isn’t setting up his POV to be revealed in s5 bc the entire audience is completely comfortable with where Mike stands as a character in regards to his deeper feelings/motives. No confusion there so no need to address that. Mike saying How will I survive a whole week without you guys at the start of s4 wasn't foreshadowing his fate at the end of said week. Mike standing in front of exit signs 3+ times in s4 is probably just a coincidence. Mike being associated with gaping mouths in multiple moments spanning the entire series, even going back to his very first line on the show, means nothing at all. Nancy’s vision about her family (Mike) dying was mentioned at the end of s4, but it didn’t happen so probably won’t ever happen, even though there’s still another season left set directly after the events of s4. Will calling Mike the heart and how without heart they’d all fall apart, was not in any shape form foreshadowing something happening to Mike and them all falling apart, bc Mike is definitely just a prop and everything in relation to his story only holds meaning on the surface or for other characters arcs and couldn’t possibly be hinting at something deeper that’s being saved as one of the many surprises for the last season.

#byler #stranger things #im sorry but ppl getting mad over speculation about mike and vecna is weird… especially when there's series long evidence… #like we know for a fact Will and vecna are facing off in s5 it's a given with the most basic ga being ready for it #it’s probably going to really come to a head in that final battle in the last two episodes #so early s5 and everything leading up to Will being confronted by vecna cant just be Will and vecna confronting each other over and over… #that would make their final confrontation anticlimactic #there’s a reason we keep seeing a chess board/dnd in relation to the events to come #bc EVERYONE is a piece in vecna’s game #EVERYONE plays a role in him reaching his main goal #back in 2019 if ppl heard max was a target or Nancy was a target in s4 they would’ve been confused #bc there’s little to no ties between the mindflayer and those characters #for a fact Will has more ties to vecna than them #HOWEVER them having no connection to vecna is not entirely true #vecna is connected to Max and Nancy’s trauma related to the person they lost because of him.. #and he used that against them to be 10 steps ahead so that he can lead up to reaching his final goal AKA WILL #he could have just got will 10 times already but he doesn't do it that way #we could’ve not had any of the events in s3-4 happen with random ass characters #BUT THE REALITY IS VECNA WANTS/NEEDS CANNON FODDER #he needs ppl that are just players in his game to overcome to eventually follow through with his plan #Mike arguably has fucked over vecna more than anyone #he’s also someone that both Will and El care for dearly #there’s a reason vecna's plan required the great big love triangle mishap in s4 #his plan literally depended on that miscommunication so that they would have a false win #like y’all just seem to want the most anticlimactic season with Will and vecna facing off only… #yes that Will happen and it will be some of the biggest moments of the season #but there's other stuff that's gotta happen... #and tbh will is going to be swamped with venca/lab revelations next season #them pounding us on the head with will is gay in s5 is going to feel repetitive as we've seen that four seasons in a row... #mike on the other hand...

Asuka is a tragic figure, a figure of mystery, a wild card, all because the only thing she wants in life is peace and quiet for herself and to feel in control- yet her secret heritage that may be hidden from her for her own protection and the reality that life is unpredictable and will go on with or without you keep ruining that delusion, that vision of how the world is meant to work to her, and she suffers regardless of what she wants, what she does, and how little she understands anything

She was born into a family preaching peace and balance and order while being a creature of violence, and puts a dozen mental locks and excuses over this truth to justify giving into her impulse for fighting by pretending she's justice when she does it

She keeps trying to build a place of safety but she's using sand and life is a wave that destroys, yet she stubbornly persists rather than give up, not drowned to the point of self centered suicidal loathing like Jin- there's contrast, where Jin is cloaked in death Asuka stubbornly clings to life and humanity as a normal person in a terrifying world

She's not a fucking narrative clone for Jun's own purpose, Asuka's purpose must be determined by Asuka herself

#tekken #Jin is born of two worlds Jun walks between two worlds Asuka is at the crossroads of two worlds #Jin is broken by it Jun traded part of her humanity to reconcile it and now Asuka has to accept it yet persist- she is always persisting #that's her strength that no matter what she's always still herself #'For being so very Y o u' as Lili told her bc she sees it #she's an interesting character BECAUSE she's not Jun and she's not Jin and she's not aligned with them entirely #stop waiting for her to be something she's not #also i think it's GOOD she doesn't know everything or everyone in her family bc that builds mystery and suspense #it gives everything a tension in the background for when the normalcy charade will be broken by the bigger family drama catching up w her #what's happening to the Mishimas should be something no one is dragged into yet the one family member who's the least connected #is going to run out of time at some point and get hit by that trauma anyway and she doesn't even Know it's coming for her eventually #isn't it fucked up. how everything catches up with you in the end #and you won't even understand it until it's too late ie. her involvement in T8 global war now #also a character that wants peace and order but actively pursues violence ensuring she will never truly have those things bc of her nature #AND she's already been traumatized by T5 Feng and T6 Jin that just makes her retreat to seeking comfort in detachment- in the familiar #which only prolongs her avoiding the world outside what she can control- and then Lili won't let her live in ignorance not to punish her #but bc she wants to help her bc the Mishimas have already put their claws in Lili- they won't catch Asuka off guard #what is it with people sanitizing the messiness and humanity characters represent in favor of 'If they just acted logically the way I want #then they'd solve the entire story 1 2 3 and we'll have everything wrapped up easy' THAT'S NOT A STORY THAT'S A MATH EQUATION #FEEL SOMETHING INSTEAD OF ALWAYS NEEDING TO SOUND SMART AND HAVE PERFECT ANSWERS YOU STUPID FUCKS #IN TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING HAVE A PERFECT SOLUTION YOU'VE LOST SIGHT OF WHAT'S IN THE TEXT #AND ALSO ASUKA BEING VIOLENT BUT STILL CARING ABOUT PEOPLE AND DOING GOOD DESPITE IT #and AsuLili is about two similar people who've been traumatized finding safety in each other once they put down the trauma responses #this is all in line with T8's tagline of Face Your Fate btw this is literally what was always coming finding you & you face it

WAIT WHAT HOW DID WHISPERS FOUND OUT ABOUT WOLFGANG?? HE WAS THE ONE WHO HAD SHOWED THE LEAST TO HAVE SENSATE CONNECTIONS!!

will Riley and Nomi were obviously found out by the bpo and known to be connected (although I don't remember how whispers learnt about Nomi and Will being connected)

sun was probably the easiest to find out that was related to them since Nomi did a lot of hacking to help her which is something Sun couldn't have done on her own (and while the point of hacking is to leave not trace of you behind every person has its own style and no doubt the obp would be on the lockout for any hacking activity that smelled like something Nomi would do)

After that Capheus and Lito would be next in that order. Both showed out of the blue extraordinary capabilities that didn't make sense they knew and clearly marked them as sensates(just no way to know who they were connected to) just like the people visiting Capheus said. The only difference was that Capheus acts were widely known while Lito only had Dani and Joaquin as witness.

And finally Wolfgang mad Kala who showed it the less. In fact they didn't show it at all.

Kala with her perfect idyllic life never needed to make use of the others abilities (besides that one time will helped her defend herself at the temple).

And Wolfgang although did use the others abilities and pulled of amazing feats thanks to them all of those instances were stuff that would be credible he did on his own because they were in line with the type of person Wolfang is and what he's capable.

So yeah... HOW THE FUCK WAS HE FOUND OUT? While it made sense Lila would tell the obp about him she also said that the Cannibal was specifically looking for him!

So how???

Ugggh it really goes way too fastpaced in the last episodes and it doesn't make sense... the Wachowski sisters would never leave such a big pothole...

I know they had to skip a lot of explanations but...

Dammit netlix

#the way it is implied Whispers could see Kala through wolfgangs connection with her also annoyed me #it had already been established the connections didnt work like that between visitors #and that one annoys me because letting him know through Wolfgang saying the name would be easiest (and kinda did anywa) #wolfganf saying kalas name woulnt take from his characters it wouldnt make him weak actually it would help him #for him to give in to not grit his teeth and bear through it like he does every time #because this is not like pther times this is extreme pain hes endurimg and it is understandable #kala wont hate him for it nor would the others they would understamd amd forgive him #its not his fault #to know there are people out there who will still love him even when hes weak (and that weakness costs them high) is what wolfgang needs #i would also love to know all that went behind to pull of the plan to kidnap whispers and jonas but thats more because it would be so cool #not because its really needed to i can fill in the gaps on my own #sense8

my favourite iberian indigenous names have to be burrus and reburrus. they never fail to make me giggle everytime i come across them

#they were quite popular as well. like so popular roman authors tended to use burrus to talk about iberians in general #kinda like using juan to talk about hispanics or idk pierre for french people #for non-hispanics #burro means donkey #it also means stupid #and we use 'reburro' to say someone is extra stupid #also this proves burro the word comes from prerroman times which <3 #in my experience #almost all spanish words that don't have a clear origin and have a lot of 'rr' and other hard sounds are probably prerroman #(and most likely iberian tho it could be celtic) #arroyo and berrocal are two common examples as well #burro arroyo berrocal. you can see the similarities #also except burro they tend to be natural features and stuff which makes sense #an arroyo is a stream. a berrocal is a particular rock formation #this also proves at least for me the connection between ancient iberian languages as euskera #euskera is also characterized by a lot of hard sounds and if i didn't know them already #i'd think arroyo or berrocal were basque words

@fvriva Copying this out so I can do more stuff -

But yes! One of Charlie's many exes, only two of whom have ever received a name, is a guy called JJ! His full name is Jacob Johnson and I once posted some old pictures I had of him here .

They used to date when Charlie was pretty young and just out of school and were part of a bigger gaggle of gay guys. Guys who were just experimenting and finding themselves ... and who thought it'd be funny as fuck and their good right to fancy Charlie's father substitute Paddy. Charlie didn't find that shit funny at all, but kids can be so cruel. (I also bet like some were like "Ohhh, he's from the North and he's kinda badass, do you think he's an ex-Provo?" because these boys are pulling a Michelle from Derry Girls. And saying "He's a Prod from Derry" has zero effect, because then it's "Oh my god, that means he doesn't got all that repression! I bet he's a real Casanova!" at which point Charlie was ready to either eat the Abrakebabra tray himself or shove it down someone else's throat.)

However, Charlie's boyfriend JJ never participated in that tomfoolery. Because he was a clever young man, who knew if he kept it to himself, he could date Charlie, partially to get closer to that hunk of man. Enjoyed it very much whenever he was with Charlie and Co. and Paddy was around.

However, JJ overall didn't feel like Ireland was a great place to live and wanted more opportunities, so like many young Irishman, he went away to America. And before he left, he did the kind thing of breaking up with Charlie ... and also the not so kind thing of telling him the truth in regards to Paddy. Rough breakup.

JJ gets to America, things don't really turn out as they are ought to be and America has more or less just the same problems he wanted to escape, be it in a different costume. Poor JJ falls in with the Mob to get by and after seven or eight years, he is like "Hey. I am not gonna snitch on you, I am not gonna cause trouble, but I just wanna go home. Could you arrange something for me?"

And his boss, a young man called Alfred Jones, is like "Hmm, sure! I think I know someone you could work for, someone to keep eyes on you and who takes care for you in Dublin! Harry O'Connel's the name!"

And JJ does think. Hey, that's the name of Charlie's childhood friend. Even the surname is spelled that weird way ... But he shrugs it off, because maybe someone just left an L off the end and there have to be plenty of Harry O'Connell's in Ireland.

And Harry thinks the same when Al talks to him about an Irish guy called Jacob Johnson, like yeah yeah sure. Fork found in kitchen situation.

And then JJ arrives back in Dublin, goes to the office after some preliminary meetings with other subordinates or so, walks into Harry's office ... and Harry's face is not one that you forget. Not much has changed since puberty is through. And thusly Harry also learns that he has hired Charlie's ex as a new subordinate.

So poor JJ, comes home from his failed American Dream, learns that his ex's childhood friend is a mobster and THEN learns that the same holds true for said ex and has always been the case for the middle-aged guy he fancied.

JJ has learnt a lot about himself since he went away, especially about his priorities in life, so he now also realizes that Paddy was just some embarassing Teenage infatuation and nothing genuine at all. Not to mention that he may have a soft spot for Charlie still, but no old spark that is still alive. Charlie does make a bit of an ass of himself for wishing it was the case and being thoroughly disappointed when he gets mercilessly roasted by JJ and not even a little bit fancied. Sir, you are getting steady now, you don't NEED your ex-boyfriend for approval.

That's Jacob Johnson! Poor lad, deserved better :/

#another one from the friend group is Shane Gray who later came out as bi and has a girlfriend these days #his ma is called Daisy and had a fling with Paddy when he was a young rake always looking for the ride. Broke her bed! #She still teased him for it a decade later and they did have another fling while Shane also fancied him. Oh well! #also Charlie's other named Ex also has an America connection. Two nickels! #beablabbers #storie nostre #charlie #jj #harry #paddy #al #also by the time Charlie had that friendgroup he DID know that Paddy was a mobster ... #and he wouldn't have told them anyways bc that is between him and harry but fucking damn wouldn't it have not deterred them #if anything. if the prospects of an ex-rebel already gave them the horn then mobster is on the cards as well #i bet there were some fuckers in here where he could have been a goddamn Loyalist and they would have found it hot #chesca

spent the last few weeks trying to figure out why the episodes after 12's run don't hit as hard and i cannot make a coherent argument for the life of me

#9 speaks #just finished the giggle and it feels like they're trying to set up a Sarah Jane Adventures kinda thing #which i hope to god doesn't happen #if they marvel-ify doctor who (more than it already has been) i will bite someone #but yeah no the most coherent argument i can make is that i think the series works best #when it's like 40-minute individual adventures with an overarching season plot #the episodes have an alien that's an allegory for whatever the fuck the writer wants to do commentary on #and you sprinkle in stuff about the doctor's life or reputation but you don't make it the WHOLE PLOT #i love the timelord victorious shit as much as the next guy but i think a lot of people forget that those episodes had like. a villain #like the doctor only got to have his little 'the laws of time are mine' moment because the mars colony was getting fucked by the water dude #it feels like as the series has progressed the 'doctor deals with issues' series-long b-plot has overtaken like. the actual aliens? #much as the toymaker was fun and camp and i love seeing him back #the connective tissue between bigeneration + toymaker + 'the doctor is wearing himself down and never stops' #was not strong in the slightest #it feels like someone took a bunch of disconnected scripts and jammed them together #anyway 9 is going to go read more 13th doctor fanfics bc she deserved better

It’s fun watching other North Americans freak out about WW3 (again) like it’s actually gonna be fought on our soil and not in other countries (such as the ones currently at war) like the previous two world wars.

#for the record #I don’t think it’s wrong to be scared #war is scary #I’d rather not have mass cassualties and death #and of course some of us have family or loved ones or some other connection to people at risk #or are worried about being conscripted or drafted against our will #or just the general fear of what war especially in the nuclear age will be like #I’m not saying you can’t be anxious #or be scared #but there is a difference between those fears #however legitimate #and expressing anxiety over them #and tone deaf memes and statements when there are people dying right now #people who already have or will have boots on their soil #guns in their faces #and bombs from their skies #while in all likelyhood we at home in north america will be fine #unless you are on the battle field in some way #you are not living through ‘another war’ #and it is incredibly tone deaf towards the people for whom this is a reality #not a hypothetical to make memes so you can ‘cope’ #ww3 #north america #canada #usa

Typical to see as I read some assigned essays for school that people in the U. S. have always been fucking stupid by and large about treating their children with any respect to the point it actually hurt their literacy skills

#children need to be able to participate in what adults read to them but often it's interpreted as the child needing to shut up #so the kids learn less because they're not able to engage in dialogue and conceptualize what's read #nor do lots of parents actually explain connections between content of the book and the irl versions a child sees #they assume the child already knows associations by themselves not that they need to be taught an association to learn #they assume a kid is born knowing how to explain everything not that it's a skill they're taut #*taught #ppl are fucking stupid #and then the kid goes to school does bad in English and the parents are like We don't know why #the parents were more interested in domineering how their kids see reading than teaching context or analysis #bc the association is Child = Obedient Object
