me searching through bbc merlin fanart and fics for the heart of the show.
(IMAGE ID: Doomguy in a red area fighting off hordes of monsters, captioned “WHERE IS GUINEVERE”)
#no hate on anyone who mostly focuses on all the other characters#tons of them are really fun and interesting and have a lot of potential that the show didn’t fully explore#but also it makes me sad when gwen gets overlooked so often despite being such a vital part of the story#i mean she fulfilled the whole prophecy of arthur bringing about the golden age of camelot better than arthur could#and even when her storyline was mishandled she was essential to the emotional core#“arthur finds out au” “morgana finds out au” okay how about gwen knows about the magic au huh#she would’ve been the best secret keeper and anti-assassination partner ever#i fully believe that she could have talked merlin out of self-fulfilling that prophecy if she’d been in the loop#or at least making slightly less terrible decisions. idk.#bbc merlin#merlin#merlin bbc#guinevere#guinevere pendragon#gwen pendragon

Tbh i think I would have a much deeper emotional connection to Fight Club/have it affected me more/be more insane about it if i weren't so spoiled on the main plot twist
I swear it's because of all the memes on Pinterest, they're just too entertaining
#eh what can you do. the movie is literally 25 years old#btw very jealous of all the people who get to see it in the theaters during its anniversary. you guys really be living your best lives huh#fight club#while were on this topic the only show that could still leave a huge impact on me even when i knew the whole storyline has to be devilman#i ache just saying its name#anybody feel the same?

I’m sorry, but was no one going to tell me that Dawn Summers, the physical representation of Buffy’s innocence, of Buffy’s innermost vulnerability, just casually carries a Taser? Were none of you going to tell me that?
#dawn Summers#I’m reeling what am I supposed to do with this information now what am I supposed to do with it huh?#she fucking TASED XANDER#buffy the vampire slayer#btvs#7x21 end of days#second to last episode and THATS when dawns taser gets revealed???? I feel so cheated#she should’ve been allowed to have a taser from the beginning#I have so many questions.#like where did she get it buffy doesn’t use tasers she wouldn’t have a taser she wouldn’t give Dawn a taser!!!!!#this was my main take away this episode bc it blew my mind#I feel so cheated. I need a whole storyline for her and her taser#like yes !!! give the most vulnerable parts of buffy a stun gun!!! let’s do that!!!!#it’s very ‘what’s that?’ ‘a KNIFE!’ vine

you know, i would kill for the og s7 script to be leaked...i've said before that i would never rewatch the show because the ending is just so unsatisfying and ooc for so many characters, but...if i could rewatch almost all of it and stop at whatever point in s7 that it changed and then just read the og script? i'd rewatch in a heartbeat!
#maybe they'd still be the last of the human race and sterile which jfc is just BEYOND STUPID#however...#to have bellamy alive???#to have bellarke end up together???#dude...#i would take what i could fuckin get man i am so serious#and you know what??#i like to think that the og script was entirely different and didnt have the dumbass sterile human race storyline#and also that madi didnt die wtf#first abby then bellamy and finally madi....jroth really killed off clarke's whole family huh...#(i also have never watched the ep bellamy dies in or any ep after not even the finale...#but from everything ive heard it sounds so fucking dumb)#bellamy blake#bellarke#t100

You. Thoughts on uni2 story content?
admittedly i havent played the Most bc ive been recovering from getting my teeth yoinked and fighting game takes too much brain power atm BUT. confused as to why theres no proper story mode like chronicle was in cl-r, as for arcades- intrigued by linne's specifically and tbh kinda happy about it. enk's is SO...... BITING HIM. CARMINE'S IS FUCKING BONKERS BUT HONESTLY I CAN'T SAY I EXPECTED ANY LESS FROM HIS CRAZY ASS
overall. in general. Tonally. the Finality of it feels. not. actually? there? really? it seems arbitrary. it's hard to have actual like. how do i put it. meat. of a story. without a real story mode. like all we get are arcades??? both from a storytelling standpoint and also like ALL the promo material it kinda falls flat on what was promised, or at least Implied. i was literally streaming it for my bf day 1 and when i opened the game one of the first things i said was "wait there's no actual story mode option?" to have such heavy emphasis on how this is the End this is the Last one For Real feels forced when we haven't had any legit buildup to that point and even in the game itself aside from cliche anime vague dialogue about how This Needs To End and whatnot it doesn't narratively convey this all that effectively
like personally im not all that . idk. disappointed? by that bc i still need to catch up on chronicle mode from cl-r and haven't had time/focus to do so buuuuut... like. idk it feels weird now? why'd they throw chronicle into the middle game and now leave the supposed last one hanging. especially when theres a lot of loose plot threads that arent getting delivered on adequately, and by the fundamental nature of arcade modes in fighting games none of them are exactly fully 100% for real canon because there's a lot of contradictions so........ what does actually happen. kuon dies yeah sure that was his whole thing and kinda the whole conceit of this game sure sure whatever but like what ELSE? esp with carmine's arcade being so tonally weird the whole time and him talking about how he's dying anyway like SURE IN HIS ENDING HE GOES FULLY APESHITT BUT LIKE WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM FOR REALSIES DOES HE JUST DESPAWN?
all this aside its fun and i like it and all howwwwever there is a slight sense of like.. barring system rework and ui updates it feels like this could just be cl-r dlc of kaguya tsurugi and kuon and not a hell of a lot would change overall?
#cawing#Anonymous#i straight up thought i was jsut missing a menu option or something but like HELLO!#or maybe that if i finish everyones arcades it would show the true ending like old blazblue but uh... sure doesnt seem taht way huh#like dont get me wrong i love corny fighting game shit but at the same time like#in some ways these feel like the shallowest fg arcades ive ever played save for the ones in continuum shift#and at least cs had a gimmicky excuse for why there was only really much of consequence in like. 4 of them#AND additionally had character story modes as real plot so its not like they NEEDED the arcades to be that substantial#and they werent historically until cp bc everything got condensed into one major storyline#which i would be fine if unib took that route but it just. idk doesnt seem like they wanted to commit to that??#uniposting#like i love the game love kaguya love kuon love my blorbos buuuuuut its a bit lacking. just a bit#kuon is fun to play but damn did this justify a whole game#also minor gripe but im salty they dotn give the option of past themes. i was so excited when i saw the themes in the gallery#but no. you can just Play them. fuck off#whoops that got long lmao. never ask my opinion on anything worst mistake of my life

uh oh what's happened in JJK now? (also big mood on the whole "the one in my head is so different" thing lol)
Good question i wish i knew
Latest chapter ended in a cliffhanger where it looks like gojo was dealt a killing blow except that's basically how the last few chapters also ended so it has lost all meaning now. Gojo is trying to kill sukuna except sukuna is possessing megumi's body but it seems like gojo even with his six eyes just doesn't see megumi there anymore. Even when he first saw megumi (WHO HE BASICALLY RAISED AS A SON AND BROTHER) being possessed his only reaction was just like. RIP 👍
And the whole thing is narrated by the rest of the ensemble cast who have essentially been reduced to sports commentators.
So yeah idk and i don't really care anymore
#like i KNOW what's going on but narratively speaking i'm confused about where the story is trying to go???#like what about the kenjaku final boss fight#where is yuuji's own battle against sukuna who has been the cause of all his misfortune??#what did everyone who died even die for#apparently there was like a 2 month time skip too but i literally cannot remember what even got resolved in that time#what happened to all the american soldiers. like what was the deal with that plot point as a whole#there ìs just. no continuity.#i wouldn't be so frustrated and could even enjoy the current storyline for what it is#if i wasn't painfully aware (and even moreso thanks to the anime rn) that this is the same manga with the masterpiece that was#the hidden inventory arc. that is literally where jjk peaked. TO ME#and shibuya arc was phenomenal too!! nanami's death as painful as it was actually handled well.#and then what happened huh

JOHN! I didn’t know he was ALSO introduced in Hard Traveling Heroes!! I love that he was like your oath is CORNY the only part that is good is “Beware my power” lmao
#john stewart#hal jordan#green lantern#dc thoughts#mypost#hard traveling heroes#i swear it feels like so many significant things happen in this whole era#there's just something funny about the guardians sort of calling hal racist#also reading this storyline made me sort of understand where people are coming frmo when they say hal is boring sometimes#not that i agree but i see the points that are made#that said i do think he probably was important to 'make people care' or whatever#also john is just so much more confrontational than i expected both in this story and the 80 page giant i'm actually excited to read more#fanon really does dilute any character that isn't a white (or white passing) man huh :(

hiiiii ☀️ can i ask for something about aventurine and the reader who is part of the express family (not trailblazer) ? it can be some love at first sight thing, or maybe where they meet again in penacony and turns out they both had some hidden past with eachother b4🤭 of course, you can choose whatever storyline to go with as well with this reader🤍 thank uuuu
aventurine and a nameless reader
content warnings: vague penacony spoilers
note: hello anon!! i went with the second option since i just looove reunions ... i had a lot of fun writing this but i also had to google how a lottery works ... i'm embarrassed ... i hope you enjoy!
You and AVENTURINE had met ages before he became a bigshot at the IPC, back when he was doing Aeons-know-what to scrape by. Whether you were friends or rivals or had to use every fibre in your body to keep yourself from insulting him on sight, you eventually parted ways and both, quite reasonably, assumed that you would never see each other again — the universe was far too big for that, after all. He saw you off as you boarded the Astral Express, and resigned himself to thinking that your meeting was little more than a lucky draw.
That is, of course, until you run into each other by chance in the lobby of the Reverie. He doesn’t pay you much attention at first, but his eyes end up wandering to you almost against his will as he sorts out your grey friend’s room issue. When did you change your hair? Did your voice always have that kind of cadence? His customer-service smile turns a tad more genuine as he turns to you once it’s over and your friends had dispersed within the lobby. “What a pleasant surprise,” he drawls. “Long time no see, huh?”
Aventurine offers to catch up over drinks, if you’re so inclined. Time is money, but that’s how you normally celebrate making new friends and reuniting with old ones, isn’t it? He’ll treat you to whatever you like while you tell him about your travels.
Even after he gets his own business sorted, he can’t help but notice how you two seem to keep running into each other, as if by little twists of fate. Your room across from his, the sound of you laughing with your pink-haired friend in the lobby, the sight of your back as you wander around the Golden Hour.
If fate keeps bringing you together, Aventurine would be a fool to not capitalise on it, wouldn’t he? He’s quick to slink over to your side and suggest a wager: “You look lonely,” he’ll say, rolling a coin back and forth over his knuckles. “Say, if I win big at the lottery over there, how about we spend the rest of the day together? We can even call it a date if you like.”
It’s a bit of an unfair bet, all things considered — he doesn’t often make bets he can’t win, and while it’s little surprise to him as he claims his prize, he also takes the time to relish in your surprised expression. What, did you really think he would lose? Don’t be silly. Now, tell him what you want to do — he’s already planning an itinerary in his head before work inevitably drags him away that evening.
Even as you two spark up another conversation (What’ve you been up to all this time? Got any travel destinations he might like?) he can’t tell you the whole truth, not yet — but in the meantime he can wrap one arm around your waist just like this, and watch how the dreamscape tints your eyes a shade of the most opulent gold.

I Know it Won’t Work || Tom Blyth x singer!reader
Summary: You and Tom break up after three years of dating and you perform a song about the truth of the breakup for the first time live.
Warnings: slight age gap, reader is 23 and Tom is 30
Wc: 658
A/n: these r addicting to make lol. Also, changed up some lyrics for the sake of the storyline making sense. 2/4? Fics I’m posting today!
Tom Blyth x singer!reader au masterlist
Divider by @pommecita
You let out a shaky breath, "I left you here, heard you keep the extra closet empty," You sing the first words of your unreleased song to the crowd. "In case this year, I come back and stay throughout my twenties, what if I won't? How am I supposed to put that gently?" You had just freshly turned 23 and broken up with Tom.
You honestly don't know how you ended up here, in-front of a crowd of hundreds in London. Performing in front of people was the last thing you wanted to do at the moment but you had to keep a strong front for your supporters, this show was highly anticipated.
"I've had the thought, tried to work it out through anxious pacin'" Your biggest coping mechanism was writing songs. You never knew how to really express your emotions in sentences to someone, so instead, you write them into songs. Your real feelings and emotions laced into words that in the end, formed a song.
"But it's a lot, all the shine of three happy years fadin'" The crowd watched in silence, partly because it was a new song and they did not know the lyrics to sing along, but also because they were mesmerised. Your voice held so much emotion.
Your fans weren't aware that the two of you have broken up, but a few had already pieced it up. "The whole facade, seemed to fall apart, it's complicated." Everyone viewed you and Tom as the power couple, deeply in love with one another with no flaw or doubt in the relationship
While half of it was true, the other half wasn't. The seven year age gap different had been brought up so many times throughout your relationship. You remember the first time the two of you got together, you were 20 and he was 27.
You both received heavy backlash from the internet but the two of you ignored them all. They weren't the ones in the relationship, they weren't the ones to make the call about whether or not you should be together.
"And part of me wants to walk away 'till you really listen, I hate to look at your face and know that we're feelin' different," As the three years went by, uou hoped you weren't the only one in the relationship that doubted a few things. You didn’t want to admit that other people's comments were getting to you. As the three years progressed with Tom, you felt as if you were just both in such different phases of life.
You were still so young in your early twenties and fresh in your career while it seemed that Tom was ready to settle down, marry, and start a family. He would always mention starting a family and you would listen, not really knowing what to say to him.
But recently, you came into terms with the truth that both you and Tom don't share the same feelings or goals at the moment. "Cause part of me wants you back, but, I know it won't work like that, huh?" You loved Tom, parts of you still do. He never did anything wrong, he was everything you could have ever wished for. You like to think of him as the right person, wrong time.
But nothing was going to change the fact that you two were just in different stages of life. Nothing will change the seven year age gap between the two of you. "I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'"
Tom hasn't left your mind. It would've been easier if he did. But he just couldn't. "And part of me wants you back, but, I know it won't work like that, huh?" Your voice slightly cracks, a single tear drop runs down your face. Eyes closed, you let it. The dewy stream your tear left—accentuated with the bright lights focused on you—did not go unnoticed.

This is so random, didn't proofread this just did this in class cause I was bored didn't really thought of the storyline so this sucks a Lil bit so yeah read it with caution Hahaha might have writing errors
Rin itoshi x f. Reader
"mommy pleaseee I want to go see pxg play! They haven't played here in Japan since foreverrr" your son begged leaving you with no choice but to buy him tickets to your ex's game.
Looking back, Rin did love you. He loved you so much that he would kill for you, die for you, and would even reach the moon for you but you never knew that because of his cold hearted acts and the way he states you knew that your relationship with him was ending. Rin and you were different.. He was a celebrity athlete, signed many brand deals internationally. Back to back flights because of his career, soccer, soccer, and just soccer and there you were waiting tables for a living, big difference huh? Most of your colleagues are shock when they found out that rin was your boyfriend some even didn't believed you and thought that you were a die hard fan not until Rin came to pick you up from work..
His whole life was planned out and you knew that you weren't in the list but that wasn't the case. Every flight that you weren't by his side he'd tell himself how he misses you so much, every training he would spend the rest of his break time to scroll thru your social media or his gallery just to see a picture of you with the brightest smile or even call you just to hear your voice. Rin loved you that much.
The big news came, Rin got accepted in his brother's team in Madrid. He hurriedly rushed home to you and told you the biggest news excitingly. "that's great rin! I'm so happy for you" you said with the biggest smile while cooking, setting aside the work you invited him into a big hug and the returned. "I was thinking if I should take you with me.." The striker mumbled, he's so shy to ask you this but 5 years in the relationship he must have thought about kneeling down in one knee at the prettiest sight while opening a red silked box that contains your engagement ring. " I don't know rin I have a life here..besides, you need to focus there you shouldn't be bothered by me" you turned your back at him to finish what you cooked. "I'm happy for you rin, but Madrid is too much for me", "I know baby, just wanted to let you know that I want you by my side" he said before slowly planting kisses on your hands, face, your neck and it turned into a makeout session that turned into a hot session of making love.
Rin is always planned, his future is so planned that you don't wanna ruin it by you being pregnant. On his last match before going to Madrid you broke up with him and deleted every way of contact with him, moved to another state. You knew how much rin loved you. You don't want this to be the reason why he won't be the number 1 striker.
"mommy look! Itoshi Rin!!" your son just looks like him, he doesn't even know that his idolizing his dad, its so cute. You picked a seat infront so your child can easily see the game, knowing Rin. He doesn't look at the crowd during a game so you'll be safe... You thought..
"mommy look! We're on the big screen!! Most likely to look like one of the players! It's me!" the big screen on top of the stadium showed you and your son's faces with your son being selected as most likely to look like one of the players then it showed Rin. The crowed gasp because of the uncanny resemblance. Wherein, Rin didn't got the chance to see since he was busy but one of them players did!
"YOOO THATS SICK HE LOOKS JUST LIKE RIN" Shidou said tapping on Loki's shoulders "yeah and his mother looks like.. Wait.." With loki examing the screen. The silence triggered rin and out of curiosity he decided to take a look at the screen but the moment he did, it turned the focus to someone else in the crowd. "WAIT NO REPLAY THAT--RIN YOU DIDN'T SAW THAT?" Shidou was about to burst with excitement knowing that it was you with a kid that looks exactly like his "best friend". "fuck off cockroach"
The match ended with you not being seen by Rin, you were relieved but some part of you is a little disappointed. "mommy! I read the ticket and it said that we won a meet n greet slot!"Your son jumps with excitement and rushes to the hall where the players are to do the meet n greet. God does find ways, y know?
"How about you do the meet n greet, mommy will be watching from here" thinking that you finally escaped someone taps on your shoulders. "sorry ma'am but the child needs supervision near him so you'll also need to go up the stage" shit.
"YN?..", "hey.. Rin.."
The interaction was awkward but thankfully, your son was very talkative to rin and itoshi was very responsive, it was like he's a professional with talking to kids. They looked so cute :(( after the meet n greet you hurriedly asked your son if they could go home and Rin also rushed to find the both of you but realized that you left.
A few days later after that incident, you just got out of work and went straight to your son's soccer training to pick him up when you noticed that all of the mothers were fangirling and talking about someone on the field. "Oh yn girl! Come here!" one the mothers who were your friend excitingly calls out your name. "Look at that new coach, he's so charming" with heart in her eyes he looks at him. You rolled your eyes before finally looking at him. It was then again, Rin.
Your son's new soccer coach, was Rin Itoshi. Your ex boyfriend who got you pregnant. Your son's father, the father of your child. Rin fucking Itoshi.

Mike thought Will liked Angela (and he was not happy about it)
I think a lot of us already agree on this, but I wanted to talk about how it was definitely intentional. The basis for this theory is the fact that we are shown Mike remembers multiple things from El’s letter. Why would they have him recall a bunch of information but not this specific, intriguing detail about Will liking a girl? Answer: he clearly does remember, and his behaviour in the airport (and after) is supposed to demonstrate this. (Btw I don’t believe Mike 100% understands his feelings for Will, I’m on the fence about how aware I think he is).
The audience is shown that…
Mike knows about Joyce’s new job (he was frustrated by it)
And about El missing the flowers (so he brings her some)
And about El’s ‘friends’
So why not Will’s ‘for a girl’ painting?
(Here’s a refresher of this painfully awkward interaction)
Mike enjoys Will’s art. This is canon. He has a book full of it, it’s all over his walls. Yet, after he asks about the painting-looking thing in Will’s hand, Mike awkwardly shuts down the conversation like he has no further interest whatsoever, like he wasn’t the one who brought it up. It’s the definition of pretending not to care. Why would they have Mike behave like this unless to show the topic was aggravating him on some level?
Also, hearing that your best friend likes someone is kind of a big deal. It’s something you are very likely to question and tease them about. But Mike doesn’t say anything. He’s with Will the entire season, yet he never once brings it up. That is the most incriminating part. Why would he not mention it unless he felt weird/uncomfortable for some reason?
Obviously Mike believes the painting is for a girl Will likes. Jealousy ensues (but again I don’t think Mike fully understands what he’s feeling). Now the Angela specific part. Mike gives Will this faltering look when he says Angela’s name:
Then when Angela approaches them at Rinkomania, we get this blink-and-you-miss-it glance from Mike to Will after El introduces her:
I’ve seen people say Mike was looking at Angela’s friends here, but I don’t think I agree. Plus from the perspective of this theory it just makes logical sense he would check Will’s reaction to the girl he presumably likes. Also he sneaky glanced at Will multiple times in the airport (see this post), so I don’t think it’s far fetched they’d have him do it again here.
I think this is how it happens: Mike suspects the rolled up thing at the airport is a painting (educated guess). He asks Will ‘what’s that?’ in such an abrupt, random way that it seemed as though he was desperate to know but trying to act casual. Then Will confirms his painting suspicions, and (courtesy of the letter) Mike assumes it’s for a girl Will likes, which is why Mike shuts down the conversation so fast. He doesn’t ask any more questions because he thinks he’s already got the answers. Then hearing Will repeat only Angela’s name back to El must’ve sent alarm bells off in his mind, and at Rinkomania he’s like so this is The Girl huh? (Obviously after the skate incident he finds out he was wrong lol).
This whole thing is a very subtle element of the storyline, but it’s undeniably there. I know there’s a general agreement on this idea already but I like looking at the details :)
