my cody theory for tbb s3

the legendary "boba fett" is actually like twenty different clones (including the real Boba). anyone at risk of being recognized (usually officers/arcs) can go into bounty hunting as "boba fett". it soon becomes the clone equivalent of like john doe. they share a bounty guild account (bc it uses biometric id and they're close enough to register as the same person).

"boba fett" soon develops a reputation for getting missions done 1) incredibly well and 2) incredibly fast. the fast part is because there are at least eight people all doing different bounties at any given time. the well part is because "boba fett" is an informal collective of escaped clones of particular distinction in battle.

by the time the real Boba is an adult, the "boba fett" clones have built up his bounty hunter credit score so much that he can pretty much take whatever job he wants for max rates.

#star wars #tbb #the bad batch #tbb s3 #commander cody #boba fett #redbean art #predictions #why is cody a bounty hunter? well #he still hasnt gotten dechipped yet but he can choose to accept bounties that send him after important imperial targets #so this is his way of circumventing his very-deteriorated chip #bc he is still following orders from /somebody/ #and its not like the emperor ever explicitly ordered him to never take bounties on imperial admirals... #vader can tell the bobas apart #hes worked w enough clones to figure out how to differentiate them solely from force signature #(palpatine could absolutely learn to if he ever bothered. but. he doesn't) #but only the real boba works for him anyways so it doesn't really matter to him #(after all anything keeping cody from joining rebellion leadership is good in vader's books) #to be clear its not a formal group or anything. it's just twentysome escaped clones who all decided to impersonate boba

This specific frame reminded me of something…

For those who still can’t see it, allow me to elaborate.

#byler #static kiss #the rink o mania lights bouncing off of will's face and the yellow from mike's shirt peaking in the corner #is so real to me #but now comparing it to their actual portraits with this blocking... #i can't unsee it #like tell me why the static kiss looks more like them then my cracked rendition?? #maybe bc they're actually kissing in that one and mine is just their faces smashed together #also editing this i felt like a byler back in the day making manips using mileven kissing in s3 lmaooo #this was mostly my unhinged way of trying to visualize what i'm seeing for those that say they can't see it at all #and btw if you don't know what the static kiss is... #i'm sorry i don't feel like explaining it in the tags #just search static kiss on my profile ! #and if you still can't see it... #consider yourself lucky

Well... uh... hi.

#ahahahahaha.... #don't mind me... just returning from my 'short' hiatus like 6 months later #and honestly idk how much i'll be around even still #i'm still trying to find a rhythm that will let me squeeze all the things i need to do into a day #(nevermind having any free time ever for fandom things) #twp is a hot mess #(i mean... as usual) #but at least the days of pulling 14-18 hour days of volunteer work for weeks on end are over... until next year ^^' #twp sneak speaks #twp speaks #twp bitches about real life #twp returns from hiatus #...maybe? #idk how long or how much i'm going to be around this time #(between the end of the school year and some health issues i may be right back out again) #but i wanted to at least pop back in and say hi / see what's happening #i've missed fandom and all of you out there in it! i hope you're all well and continue to be so and i hope to be back again for real soon! #p.s. i still haven't seen mando s3 (blacklisted the tag; don't spoil me please!) or tlou (spoiled to hell and back so no worries)

The thing about Kendall is that he just. He can’t be real. He can’t ever let down his guard or just relax he’s always on edge, always putting on an act, a show. Like of course not always, but yes always. It’s like. Yeah this is him but also it isn’t but in the same sense because of how obvious his act is and because of how he can’t stop putting it on, that’s actually him. It’s the mask that exposes him, not even just when he slips up but when it’s so obvious to everyone around him that there’s a mask but also at what point does a mask just become who you are, if you never take it off and no one knows what’s actually underneath. Arguably, not even him

#oh this is from the drafts I forgot to post this. real. my original tags: #i thought about this bc. surprise. i was thinking about kenstewy. and it was about how stewy is always honest . like. always #i can trust you right ? no you can’t. and when he’s begging Kendall to just be real . or telling him (or Logan) everybody hates them. like #that’s his thing he’s totally honest and i was thinking about how what makes their interactions so compelling is that while Kendall I think #out of everyone seems most comfortable with stewy and I mean this genuinely. he still can’t ever put down the mask #and stewy sees through that of course. again the . it doesn’t mean anything. that doesn’t even mean anything. there’s a human thing standing #in front of you. it’s like. also it’s kind of telling us that stewy knows another more honest side to Ken to actually recognize the bullshit #immediately but whatever. it’s also that s3 scene where he’s like save that for vanity fair. it’s like . bro just be real !! so. #kenstewy #kendall roy #succession #txtbug

Finishing up 2022 with my first go at a drawing of Jonah, the Third Host and all around adorkable guy. 

#mst3k #mystery science theater 3000 #jonah heston #fanart #kat arts #my blog has been around since 2010 and I have MST posts from super far back #it is crazy to see things from 2012 and just thinking 'that kid still has to wait 4 years for new MST' #'but she also has no idea that there would ever be new MST' #s13 is like the s3 of the original run and I think the show has truly hit its stride #and founds its comfortable place #now I *just* need there to be real sets and not greenscreen and it'll be perfect

[oveliagirlhaditright]

At this point, I honestly do think that Angel and Angelus are the same person (I'll probably make a more detailed post about all this later).

Like, the whole Angel/Angelus debacle--and us fans asking whether they're the same person or not--is because the show first tells us that a vampire is not the human person left behind with a demon in them: instead, the demon takes over the human's body--almost possesses them, if you will--and may have the memories and even the personality of the person they inhabited, but really isn't that human and has nothing to do with them at all.

But later on, things in the show (like how Spike was handled) make fans begin to question this.

So fans then usually come up with the idea that the Watcher's Council was wrong in telling us this first thing that we heard. Or moreover, that that's probably what they want their Slayers to believe, for obvious reasons. But really, vampires are the person they once were, they just have a demon in them now and no soul/conscience.

Like I said: I might get into all of that in another post. But like a lot of fans have come up with, I do now think that Angel/Angelus are the same person, and that Angelus sort of developed split personalities.

And fanfic writers usually give the following reason for this, if they also buy into this idea.

That when Angelus' soul was restored to him--and all the Catholic teachings he believed in and adhered to as a human--he couldn't deal with it, so came up with the idea that it wasn't really him (and in some ways, it wasn't. Because with a soul/conscience and without the demon, he never would have done that stuff). It was the demon. And thus the Angelus and Angel split was born.

I think another idea similar to that (I don't know if I've seen it in fanfiction, though maybe I have) is that when Angelus' conscience is returned to him, he can't handle all of the horrible things that he did--the mind can only deal with so much, after all--and so in order to protect itself, it comes up with the idea it wasn't truly him--and the Angelus and Angel split is born.

But one thing I feel like I've never seen anyone mention (that I was having a discussion about with a friend once)... is the possibility is that the Romani curse itself could have been responsible for the split. Or at least partly responsible for it. Because there's the loophole in the curse, that after Angel gets his soul back, he'll lose it again if he ever knows a moment of true happiness. But doesn't this make it so there will always be a monstrous version of himself that he can turn back into? It almost makes it sound like to me that the conditions of the curse make it so that "Angelus" can never be rehabilitated, even if he got a chip or whatever like Spike did, so there would always be evil for Angel to turn back into, if he had his moment of true happiness, all so the Romani could have their revenge that way. Does that make sense to anyone else, or am I just crazy? ^_^'

#buffy the vampire slayer #long post #angel #angelus #angel(us) #also. i think the real reason for the inconsistent soul writing is (a)the writers didn't have it all figured out from the get-go and made #it up as they went along. and thus there are plotholes #and/or (b) they sometimes didn't care about the soul rules if better character writing could come out of it. so they just did whatever #and i'm not condoning them for that. at the end of the day i'd better have good character writing over consistent lore #like i said. i might make a bigger post about all of this someday #but they def didn't have all of this planned out at first. they didn't even know angel WAS a vampire at first. they thought he'd be a legit #angel. lol #but like... at this point. i just see too many similarities between angel and angelus to see them as different characters #and i think even in s2 we were supposed to see them as the same character (i think writing in later seasons changed this though like as4) #but notice how in bs2 that even when angel has turned evil the scooby gang still calls him angel #i think the tie-in novels (though if you want to see them as canon or not is up to you) has a somewhat similar belief #and in s3 buffy saying things like 'i know everything that you did because you did it to me. god i wish that i wish you did. but i don't #i can't' makes me think this is right. note that she doesn't say 'i know everything that ANGELUS did. because he did it to me' or anything #like that. it's 'you' #i know this might be an unpopular opinion among my fellow bangels though. and i can get why #but to me. this is what i think canon was trying to say. but if you don't agree that's totally totally fine #and i still think you can't really pin angelus' sins onto angel. and i get why buffy thinks that too #but also get why angel thinks he needs to make amends for them #but once again. the lore IS inconsistent. so there may be no real answer here. or we may get different answers. or more than one

[mummer]

i may be the only man alive who believes barry would be better if there was more homophobia in it

#listen i love the show like it's my everything but #it's very funny to me where s3 was literally so much about homophobia to the point of on screen conversion therapy #like literally very textual about how gang life was closeting hank + cristobal #and then that just got dropped like a hot rock #you did queer horror so well WHYYYYY #and it's like....... it would have still worked really well with what we had????? it would have improved it #to show these characters actually genuinely being driven by real social pressures #instead of. oh the chechen mobsters are actually allies it's not a big deal #like HUH #OBVIOUSLY withholding judgement until we see more but it’s my one big gripe lol #Anyway hank never left that basement. perhaps he never left that closet hiding out from elena #wouldnt it all be a lot more insane if it was textually an internalized homophobia masculinity performance thing!!!! #barry

[ahalliance]

i don’t get how people can complain about the writing “doing Martha dirty” when that same writing gives her an ending that addresses her treatement over the course of the season, allows her to finally put her to foot down, to establish her self-worth as an individual and to air out her grievances, and gives her the most respectful and satisfying exit from the TARDIS we’d yet seen in the show . like it’s one thing to dislike the direction the writing team took with her arc and to criticise it (perfectly fine) and another to somehow miss it entirely lmao . the ‘martha feels out of place, second best, and like a rebound’ is an intentional piece of writing that gets resolved by the end of the season . like that wasn’t smth they threw in for shits and giggles, it had in-story repercussions

#and if u don’t think those repercussions were Enough then that’s totally cool and smth to start a discussion over #but . don’t act as if they didn’t happen lmao?? #i just . yells #like i have my own criticisms about the writing (giving the ‘i feel second best to this dude’s past love interest’ to the first POC #companion was . probably not the best of choices let’s be real #though there’s some leeway there as im assuming the character was written before audtions . but still . could have been reconsidered #idk i totally understand why people aren’t fans of the storyline itself (outside of how coherent the writing is) but i think it’s a shame #that many others just kinda seem to miss the point because it’s such a unique and interesting arc to give to a companion #i like fresh ideas!! i like the doctor Actually being portrayed at someone who is clumsy with relationships and emotional intimacy!! #i like it when his trauma spills over in ugly and complex ways like we see in season 3 in regards to his friendship with martha #and i like it even better when his accidentally cruel actions and mistakes get brought up and criticised by the narrative!! like it does in #the end of s3!! it’s so good!! #i enjoy 10 because he’s my favourite wet cat but also because he is allowed to fill up room like a real traumatised individual would #it’s like . okay i enjoy ‘ooo the doctor is the oncoming storm ooo he’s hurt and killed so many people ooo’ #but it’s also good to See the actual ramifications of that shit you know . hearing about his legend status is always fun but damn man #is it satisfying from a character analysis POV to see him hurt the people around him . to see him treat his friends poorly on accident #because of his own character flaws . like that’s GOOD #and it just sorta irks me sometimes bc people will have this smug attitude of ‘well MY blorbo isn’t a rude piece of shit and is actually a #paragon of morality’ and like girl i don’t give a shit . that’s fine in small doses but it’s not what’s compelling #people tend to like interacting with ‘angsty traumatised edgy characters’ if their edginess is contained in a nice little box that doesn’t #overspill . fuck no give me the characters that are loud and ugly and unpleasant about their trauma THAT’S THE REAL SHIT #jay rambles #dw.txt #10.txt #marthaj.txt #sometimes u wanna treat the blorbo from your show like a real person sure but sometimes it is better to remember that they are fictional #and there to be considered as part of a bigger story and as an item to analyse . case in poiny #point #maybe i shouldn’t be surprised by this though since people still get hung up over rose quartz

[bylertruther]

hi, friends! if you know me, then you know that i love to spread misery and pain, so please allow me to remind you all that this is a mike missing will and feeling homesick for him and terribly untethered after he moves away song<3

I don't know what to do without you I don't know where to put my hands I've been trying to lay my head down But I'm writing this at 3 a.m I don't need the world to see That I've been the best I can be, but I don't think I could stand to be Where you don't see me On sunny days, I go out walking I end up on a tree-lined street I look up at the gaps of sunlight I miss you more than anything I don't need the world to see That I've been the best I can be, but I don't think I could stand to be Where you don't see me And autumn comes when you're not yet done With the summer passing by, but I don't think I could stand to be Where you don't see me

(for extra angst sprinkled on top, listen to the acoustic version and think abt mike writing and playing a similar song tht he won't ever play for anyone bc it's much too revealing and too honest.)

#byler songs #byler #mike going from always putting his arm around will's shoulders to not being able to touch him... #mike writing letters he'll never send at 3am bc he foolishly believes if he gets the words out somehow that will would be able to hear them #somehow as he always has... #'i don't think i could stand to be where you don't see me' mike always hunching over to be at eye level with will and feeling like will had #sabotaged the day by not paying enough attention to him... #'i end up on a tree-lined street / i look up at the gaps of sunlight / i miss you more than anything' him biking to the byers old home n #soaking up the sun just because the warmth and familiarity of it all makes him feel closer to will.. like he's still there even if he won't #pick up the phone anymore and is seemingly always busy :( #and the last verse being like... literally the end of s3 the last two lines especially being him having his Realization as he watches the #byers all drive away and he bikes home to let his mother hold him as he has that guardedly blank look on his face #this song is already killer but attaching it to /them/..? dear god in heaven................. it HURTS #THE AGONY........ IT'S SO REAL...

i will never understand the whole: jane ‘eleven’ hopper, or eleven hopper. they’re the two main names the fandom likes to use when referring to jane, and i just. 🤨 for one, placing eleven in quotations and squishing it between her legally adopted name, makes no sense to me. it gives the impression of a nickname, or some kind of middle name. or then placing hopper as a surname to eleven is further indicating that eleven is her name, and it’s who she wants to be. eleven is the number she was given at birth which claimed her to be less than human; her real identity was stripped away from her. she was physically branded, and spent thirteen years truly believing that she was never supposed to be anything more than a number. as soon as she discovers her real name and identity, she would want to be rid of that life as quickly as possible, (whether this is through el or jane). i don’t really get how the fandom even came to the conclusion that, despite her whole journey in season two, discovering who she was, who she could never be, what she lost, etc… everyone rly went ‘oh yeah she still wants to be called eleven!’ like. logic please?? where is it??

#ooc. #i do not mean ANY offence to jane writers who use either of these titles for her. #you continue doing you!!! this is just my opinion. #like okay jane never stuck in the show. that’s fine i guess. i am past the point of ever hoping that her friends will call her jane actually #in the show. #elle is fine. #she can associate good things to elle. #personally my portrayal won’t stand for it after season two episode five. when she finds out she’s jane? That’s It. no more elle. #but then when they STILL call her eleven??? #and are referring to ‘elle’ like it’s some kind of nickname? a shortened version of her real name? #eleven is NOT her name. #and yeah the duffers aren’t the best writers. #but they really missed the ball when s3 came around and she was still being called eleven on a daily basis. #it was really like her whole s2 arc meant nothing. when that is easily one of the most important arcs for her in the show. #the jane ‘eleven’ hopper thing just makes me >:( #like get that number away from her rn #why is it still even an OPTION. #if you’re not gonna call her jane. #pls at LEAST call her el #and i refuse to believe that she will accept her friends calling her eleven. #she would be so excited to know someone at one point did love her enough to give her a name. #that she was a little bit normal. a little bit like everyone else. #and she would take that name in such stride and pride because it really is the only thing her mother ever gave her. #she WANTS to be jane ives. #a name given out of love. #not eleven. #a title given to mark her as an experiment.

Hunter, regardless of who your ortet was, you are not him. You are your own person and now that you're out from under Belos's thumb, you get to decide who "Hunter" is. Just try to keep that in mind, alright?

S3 (After Kings Tide)

*Gazes seeing everyone at the table where everybody was sitting with Camila*

Thank you, I mean that..

*Sighs*

All I know is that I’m a clone of someone that was close to Belos, Hunter probably isn’t even my real name. I’m a Grimwalker a creation from Belos, I thought I had a purpose but.. I don’t know what that is right now.

*Takes a breath walking towards the table where everyone was*

Right now we have to focus on getting Luz and the others back to the Demon Realm.

sometimes it would be so easy to use BCC to gaslight ppl into believing shit that happened in s1 for ppl who either forgot it or never watched it. not that i would ever fully commit to doing it but i am saying the potential is there

#alli says shit #bcc #that season came out like seven years ago which. absolutely wild #i was still a freshman in high school when that shit dropped #anyways the carter shit is all absolutely real. for ppl wondering if this is me confessing i made it up #if i got any details wrong that is bc i haven't watched past? probably last refuge in forever #in terms of s1 #i love s1 but those later episodes do blend together for me bc i def binged them all at once #meanwhile i remember shit so vividly from s3 on bc i watched them live lol
