#they invented familial love

[swannsways]

The Holdovers was a little movie that we made in Boston, about three people that came together to form a little family.

Mhmm I sure love thinking of the reality where we did get more time to really know Karai and her dynamics with the bros. Losing her hit hard in the finale, but it would’ve hit much, much harder had we known Karai longer and really saw her relationships develop with everyone.

I especially would have been interested in her dynamic with Leo, as past iterations often have the two of them clash in ideals and the like while still sharing many characteristics. Two sides of the same coin, and all that. Her specifically being the bros’ Gram-Gram also adds a whole new dynamic as well.

Imagine how interesting it would be, to have Karai start off on Leo’s side for once, showing wholly just how alike the two are at their cores and bonding as family without the worry of betrayal or animosity that other iterations suffer through, only to have Karai die anyway. Their parting hug and the desperate look of horror Leo wears later on would have hit that much harder, I feel.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #rise karai #rise leo #rottmnt karai #rottmnt leo #I think a lot about these two in particular #and how that dynamic could have flourished #the way it was depicted in the finale is so purposefully unique and painful like #that hug man #can you imagine how much more heartbreaking that would have been if we knew her longer #not that it wasn’t already sad but we just simply didn’t know her long enough to be completely attached #also imo having more episodes with her and in general would have presented something I’ve been thinking about since the finale #so like - I like to think each bro kinda immediately leans more toward certain family members #Mikey has Draxum #Donnie has April #Raph has Splinter because this is another one that would be SO GOOD and make the finale moment where Raph sees his memories hit harder #if they had an ep or two more of Splinter and Raph together bc I really do feel like Raph respects Splinter most of the four #and finally- Leo has Karai #and then he loses her #imo? this would align with the movie even more #because it was the act of heroism that kinda killed her in a way - makes sense that Leo would initially be leaning away from that #and yet he ends up exactly like her anyway #haha sorry for rambling I just really love the interesting dynamic these two tend to have #and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see it really explored in rise #but yeah make no mistake while I’m focusing on Leo here I wanted more for all the boys and karai #Mikey’s little moments with her were so sweet and we already know how much he yearns for more family #Karai being from an age long gone would mean she’d be super impressed by literally any invention Donnie has (adult validation!!) #and could you imagine her training with Raph - with this training being referenced in the finale?

Oh god, they'll never know. I... I'll just have disappeared. And they'll always be waiting. Call them.

#dwedit #dwgifs #marthajonesedit #martha jones #freema agyeman #francine jones #* #*gifs #the way freema invented acting in this ep #i'm always rotating this scene around in my head #on one hand the writers made francine judge the doctor too quickly to be believable #so francine's reaction here comes across kind of callous #on the other hand martha's convo with francine feels so relatable #idk if it's the same for all children of colour but sometimes it's as if #your parents are much more concerned about your physical safety than your emotional wellbeing #martha was begging francine to just Talk to her #but she's so focused on tracking down the doctor to comfort her daughter when she's obviously upset #freema does such a great job of embodying both martha's grief and desperation over the situation #as well as her fierce love for her family #have i mentioned how much i adore this scene? no? well i do

the found family of the campy ginger reporter his fox terrier and his adopted alcoholic sailor dad means so much to me

not me typing a whole rant about some catholics being insufferably smug about their "better looking churches" while ignoring the history behind the barebone austerity of protestant churches and then deleting it all because my seething anger isn't christ-like either

*gnaws on wood* God help me love your children even when they are absolute prigs

#christianity #catholicism #CAVES!! PROTESTANTS USED TO HAVE TO WORSHIP IN ACTUAL CAVES!! #THEY INVENTED PORTABLE PREACHING CHAIRS THAT COULD BE DISGUISED AS *BARRELS* #BECAUSE THEY WOULD GET KILLED OR SENT TO THE GALLEYS OR LOCKED UP IN JAIL OR SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES IF CAUGHT WORSHIPING #YOUR CHURCHES HAVE ALTARS TO MARY'S GREAT AUNT AND JOSEPH'S SECOND COUSIN'S TWICE REMOVED BE SERIOUS #EUROPEAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRALS WERE BUILT WITH TAX MONEY AND COMMISSIONED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES #PROTESTANTS CHURCHES HAD TO BLEND IN OR BE DESTROYED #and sure some places don't have that historical context #protestants weren't persecuted in the US and the catholic church wasn't state-sponsored there #but obviously that bagage informed their architectural choices for centuries afterwards DUH #are you being dense #and do you truly genuinely believe the God who came to earth to tear the temple's veil and preach on beaches and mountains *cares* #He told his own people *repeatedly* that no house they could ever build was worthy of His glory please be humble #He *deigned* habit the tabernacle and then the two temples as a demonstration of his grace and love not because the buildings merited it #and then He explicitly made *us* his temples and He promised to be with us wherever we worship Him please be humble #God doesn't care about stained glass windows He made the entire sky so we could always see his glory <3

Another thing I love about Merlin is that Merlin tells Gaius almost everything that happened right away. He's not the stereotypical good guy who "bears it all alone because misery asked me out on a date, just the two of us and no one more" for example, he literally poisoned Morgana and by the end of the episode he and Gaius are having fireside conversations about tough decisions. Like yeah, don’t keep it to yourself, everyone needs support on this show

#so proud of them #my little comfort family #the family therapy has been invented of Merlin and Gaius #*pats pats*i love you son #are you killed someone? i still love you here is your pudding #bbc merlin #merlin #gaius bbc #son and dad duo #don't think about arthur and uther just don't #arthur pendragon #arthur bbc #bbc uther

My greatest personal source of pain is that nobody has ever watched the show DCs Legends of Tomorrow (i mean i guess SOMEBODY has since it ran for 7 seasons on the CW. but none of my fags and dykes on here have) which I know is cringe bc it was technically a CW superhero show but god. that show had everything. they literally did alien mpreg

#it was goofy and silly and really good in so many little surprising ways #it had filler episodes to introduce new main characters #everyone was ACTUALLY like a found family #they had a gay man invent time travel to save a man he loved #for crying out loud. they even had platonic male intimacy #it was just the most fun show ive ever watched probably

the thing i always loved about team rocket in the anime (i.e. jessie, james and meowth) is that they would never ever ever approve of hurting pokemon. steal them from their trainers, sure. maybe keep them in a cage temporarily. but every single time, their only wish was to deliver rare pokemon to the boss. in their minds, the pokemon they stole would live a rather lavish lifestyle as the boss' pets. its basically like theyre fully unaware of the experiments giovanni did with mewtwo and team rocket's other dealings that would hurt pokemon. i don't think they would be a part of team rocket at all if they even knew about that classified stuff. they're only a part of this because they're broke milennials who want to strike it rich quick. jessie in particular tries achieving this goal in other ways like being a coordinator and/or actress. beyond that, jessie and james are great pokemon trainers who have consistently shown how much they deeply care about their pokemon. they all share food together, they all blast off together, they are one big family and that's the gospel truth. every time they part with one of their pokemon, it's with tears (hate to say it but... unlike ash, who keeps leaving his entire team behind every time he travels to a new region without so much as a fond farewell to the group!). james in particular cried buckets leaving victreebel, weezing, cacnea, and chimecho. and then you have jessie parting with arbok and dustox. it's like, damn. these silly fuckers love their pokemon and they love pokemon in general. they care for meowth as well - there are multiple times where they show that they'd never leave him behind.

#team rocket #ive loved them and also shipped jessie and james since i was kind of a baby?? #and i freakin love them #they invented found family

As much as I love dragons and I am overly invested in dragons in this setting and always get incredibly sad and emotional when they suffer/die I do not forget that at their core they’re flying metaphors for power. They’re weapons used for enforcing and maintaining power by people whose interests lay in feudalism, patriarchy, and monarchy.

They do have personality and spiritual/magical connection to their riders but they are not sentient. They represent an age that was doomed to catastrophically collapse because they were created with blood magic and suffering and deployed to enforce an empire created on the back of chattel slavery and conquest.

It was practically written in the stars that the Targaryens would inevitably turn on each other and tear each other apart and their dragons would die in this conflict long before their house’s collapse.

It is my personal wish that Dany’s children are the true last of their kind. She brings change and hope and a future for society and a fighting chance against the Others but I don’t think her dreams are sustainable on the backs of a renewed dynasty of dragon riders. It makes me sad bc I think dragons are such a fun and romantic and exciting part of fantasy writing but I also like GRRM’s world and attached commentary. And what dragons mean in this setting is ultimately an unsustainable fiery grip on absolute power. Dragons plant no trees.

I hope that Dany is the last Targaryen because in her quest of looking forward to the possibility of a new world, she builds her dreams on a foundation that is not doomed to rot and burn away.

#valyrianscrolls #Daenerys Targaryen #valyriansource #I love dragons and I think they should be extinct ama #and look it’s not like I think she’s going to invent democracy or something #but whatever she makes will be Better than what is going on rn #also not to try and apply science logic to dragons #but even if dragons have mutable gender you’re not getting a healthy sustainable population out of three siblings #to truly love targs you kind of have to pray for their family’s demise u know
