im just endlessly frustrated with the way Stede and Ed learn something and then Immediately forget it again
we went from Stede not caring about The Swede having scurvy to learning to care for his crew at the end of s1 when they stand up for him, but then ignores their opinions on Ed, he has to be told to ask Lucius how he is, and he seems to genuinely care! then we get him letting the crew kick Ed off the boat but asking them to accept him back only a few hours later! as if anything's changed!
and Ed- he has this conversation with Fang, where he earns a real forgiveness, where he finally sees eye to eye with someone he's truly hurt- but do we get that with anyone else? NO! we get some bitchy comments to Izzy and that's it! he should have learnt the results of having a sincere conversation
Stede had that whole thing about talking to Low's crew about how they feel, but then when it looks like Olu and Jim and Archie are gonna leave he forgets about their feelings and only focuses on his personal offence!!!
how many times are we going to repeat this cycle?

6, 7, and 10 with hunter!
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HIM TOO OFTEN
(look at him!!!!)
6. if your f/o is from a series, which episode/movie/game/book of their source content is your favorite?
I've heard Hunter is in an episode of the Clone Wars but so far I've only watched The Bad Batch series! Out of that season my favorite episodes would probably be Reunion and Kamino Lost!
I really like it when the show shows Hunter and Crosshair at odds with one another, Kamino Lost especially!
7. are there any specific scenes/chapters/moments of your f/o that you find yourself going back to revisit more often than any other?
Yes! But Not in a 'going back to watch it' way, but in a 'to think about' way! I think about the scene when Hunter was trying to talk with the padawan in Episode 1 right before he jumps over the cliff. Like I know that he wasn't going to kill the kid and the kid had every right to not trust him but when if he had? What if Hunter had been able to go with the kid or take him back to Kamino to sort this out? Plus even before meeting Omega, Hunter was sort of acting in a very parental way. I think if he did know how to talk to a scared and shaken kid the Padawan probably would have trusted him
10. if you could change one thing about your f/o’s source content, would you? what would you change?
*froths at the mouth for a second before taking a deep breath*
Okay. Star Wars is technically Hunter's source, and in all honesty I don't know the Star Wars media that much to want to change anything. And a lot of the nitpicks I have about the source are from a meta/fandom perspective.
But looking away from that, I know I would love to see the Bad Batch's abilities be shown in more creative ways. Hunter ESPECIALLY.
It is implied that Hunter's ability gives him super senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch) This makes him an excellent tracker but they hardly show him actually putting these senses to use. Like to show it off, he touches the ground and somehow knows the squad of droids went west three hours ago. Like LET HIM USE HIS OTHER SENSES. In the last episode of season 2 he SENSES SHIPS FLYING IN THE AIR (probably by ear) LET HIM USE HIS OTHER SENSES CREATIVELY GOD DAMNIT

You wanna know why my knee jerk reaction to the "stop making everything gay" discourse that pops up on this site every now and then is to go 'fuck off and fuck you'?
It's because I have this friend who, most likely without particularly meaning to, almost always responds to me mentioning two guys on a show may have a smidge of a chance of becoming canon by saying it would be weird, or inconsistent, or by finding an article where the actors hem and haws about characters sexualities and 'you can see it both ways'
And you know what? A lot of the time shipping stuff is just wishful thinking because most tv doesn't go there but it's just... The automatic shooting down of the idea that frustrates me. At best it feels like this is is completely impossible in their mind, at worst it feels like they're looking for arguments to prove I can't possibly be right about characters being queer because... I don't know.
And like... It's not like they're the only one, is the thing. It's the way we'll meaning people try to explain that this is never going to happen in popular shows that isn't specifically about queer characters from the get go. That I'm delusional for daring to think that maybe, some days, the relationships that are built up with everything you need to make a good romantic relationship will actually have a romantic ending and it'll be about main characters and it'll be okay, even if they weren't established as queer from the start!
And frankly? That attitude is just hurtful and frustrating.
It's not even really about shipping--I have plenty of ships I have zero hope or expectation for them becoming canon, but it would be fucking nice, for once, to be able to say 'hey, this one actually might' and not be immediately met with disbelief and denial. Like. Sorry to the (few?) people on Tumblr who tried to use 'stop trying to make everything gay' as a 'there are other identities out there' (a completely valid sentiment) but that is overwhelmingly not the feeling behind that phrase as soon as you step out from behind the screen.... so yeah, I'm really, really not ready to perceive this specific phrase, or its behavioral equivalent, in any way other than a rebuttal for being too queer or too obsessed with queerness, at best.

its like I've been wanting to, somehow, move the brunt of the necromancy thing off of mavericks shoulders. Bc that's a holdover from the veeeery first iteration of the story when it was still about angel & demon stuff whatever. bc he was the ONLY angel doing his job and reincarnating ppl because it was supposed to be like. he's the only one who actually cares about humanity anymore. and in turn Reo, ironically, was the only human who 'cared about' supernatural stuff or remembered the mysterious guy bringing em all back to life. but the main version of the story is TOTALLY not like that anymore and claiming Maverick, this random ass clone boy, brought a ton of people back doesn't really jive anymore. although I am not sure how to remedy that ..
