ohh these are from an au? could you tell some details... 🥺
YES!!! there isn't a lot of info yet but i can tell you some!!
this is an au i'm making with some friends that's heavily based on a game we all like
for starters, this is a completely different universe, the competition doesn't happen here but dynamics are (somewhat) similar. the au takes place in a tiny fictional town by the sea, which is where the characters meet for the first time. the town is haunted as fuck btw and no one can figure out why
bryce is the only one out of batch 1 that ever left the town, and is moving back home for break after having left several years prior for college. his sister (stella) is missing which is what prompted him to leave in the first place. his thalassophobia plays a role in the story as despite being an aquatic mammal (leopard seal) he is terrified of water and never goes near the ocean.
airy is a mysterious long time resident of the town who mostly keeps to himself? some traumatic event several years ago cost him an eye and made him retire early, so he spends his time making and selling sculptures. he knows more about the town's history than anyone else
amelia is a part-time yoga instructor as well as attends the local college (of which she is a part of the swim team because shes an otter idk). she and airy are kind of friends but she doesn't know nearly as much as he does about the town itself
liam also attends the local college and lives in an apartment off campus. not much to say about him hes just a normal guy who is about to have a Very bad time :)
charlotte and parker are also there, and as of the beginning of the au they aren't on speaking terms. charlotte routinely goes to the local hospital to treat her infection and tends to get into a lot of trouble with the authorities
all of batch one grew up together and were childhood friends before stella's disappearance (minus charlie, who isnt present in the au, and taylor who ends up moving in and its still a teen here. she works at the gas station)
the batch 2 contestants are also residents of the town and are more minor characters. some of the season 1 guys are here as well. julien is a famous filmmaker who moved to the town to get away from the spotlight and live a quiet life but obviously that plan goes tits up because nothing good can ever happen to anyone
so basically everyone is here and they reunite with each other and it's a fun time until it's not. also airy hit and killed stella with his truck in the same accident that made him lose his eye and no one knows that this happened

okay I’ve spent a lot of time reading jack x Ianto fic this past week (around 18hours if my screen time is to be believed) and one thing I’ve noticed is that the dominant fandom characterisation of ianto is “soft baby boi 🥺🥺” and don’t get me wrong I love that. but I feel like we’re forgetting that 1 (one) ianto jones also:
-harboured his cyberman gf in torchwood 3’s basement
-essentially got his job by being an annoying shit and catching a dinosaur
-shot Owen for opening the rift
-literally threw Jack into a portal to a hell planet
-knocked out a dragon
-single-handedly blew up a housing estate with a homemade petrol bomb
-hijacked a forklift to break his bf out of a secret prison facility
in short: ianto is a chaos gremlin and I feel like we need to acknowledge this further

Big bad wolf as a grim reaper/harbinger of death figure as opposed to being a straightforward antagonist... I think this is a very interesting framing particularly as they keep the title "big bad wolf" in his title card, so it's like... Idk the juxtaposition of the perception of him versus the true nature of him as an entity? If I am reading it right and the wolf is more supposed to represent death than "evil" per se (whatever value the concept of "evil" has in this setting) then I think the way Brennan plays him is pitch perfect, not a "good" force or a "bad" force so much as he is an inevitability
Speaking of complicating that simplistic moral framework of the "big bad wolf" - ylfa's grandma transforming into a wolf, so the grandma and the wolf are perhaps not different and opposed but two sides of the same coin (thought it was really interesting the way Brennan talked about it, like the grandma is not necessarily a disguise bc she is also the wolf but it's not necessarily so simple as they are the same either - maybe they are the same, or maybe part of grandma ate part of the wolf, or maybe parts of them exist in the other, etc. Etc.). But maybe we should put aside the exact details about the relation b/w grandma and the wolf, like I'm not sure that those matter so much as, like, the idea that that duality exists and is real. grandma's line of you can't have the oatmeal raisin cookies without walking through the woods to get there; ylfa is both the little girl and the wolf, and both the potential for the heroic and the monstrous live inside her... I am Thinking

Skimblegus Family Time--Tumble takes after Asparagus more and more the older he gets, but Teazer takes after Skimble a lot more than people give her credit for. They're both these very bright, clever, and relentlessly cheerful cats who try to put a brave face on things and hide when they're not at their best. But when they crash, they crash hard; it became a bittersweet source of reconnection after she was free of Macavity, especially since Teazer didn't realize her dad ever had bad days. She can basically only stand to be around her dads, Tumble, and Mungojerrie on particularly awful days, and Skimble's learned more from Asparagus about how not to just pack those emotions away to worry about later. Plus, you know she's feeling better when she and Tumble can start picking at each other again.
I love it so much, and I love this little family <3

the way people literally misread EVERY single detail about rebecca and only cared about the parts where she was being protected speaks volumes about how sexist is the fanbase, they only expect a woman's value in being able to fight and not in her struggle to survive and keep up despite being an underdog carrying the heavy weight of unfortunate circumstances

Kaito loves taking the opportunity to let Shinichi sit on a high chair or a tall surface just so he can see him unconsciously swing his legs back and forth.
It's an old habit from Shinichi's Conan Days he unknowingly hasn't gotten rid of since opportunities to realize it is scarce now that his feet reaches the floor. Kaito thinks this is ABSOLUTELY adorable though and endeavors to see it (record it, make a video compilation of it, send it to yukiko and ran so they can all coo together).

[in the middle of the night, talking about Connor]
Sly: Well, I think... I think in certain ways, he tried the best he could, didn't he?
Bentley: From what we've heard? No, I don't think he did.
Sly: I- I don't really remember... He... he expected a lot of me, but isn't that what... didn't that make me great?
Murray: Expectation without love. What's that?
