WHO IS EOC? i am very curious now!!!

>:) okay SO

tumblr picture formatting is utter garbage and i dont want these to take up too much space so im cramming these drawings into one row (or not if this crapsite breaks on me, because it seems to be REALLY fighting me on this, so if it ends up not making a nice little picture row know that i tried my best). but this is effigy of composure!

he has a couple problems, but the big one is that his superstructure has a terrible parasite situation. the parasites are flat, thin, and able to make it into grooves and pipes the inspectors cant reach. flushing out doesnt do much to dislodge them and they breed faster than they can be killed, so theyve happily made their homes in this sheltered, food-rich haven (to the obvious distress and horror of the host iterator). originally the concept for these parasites were much closer to centipedes and had the placeholder name "synapcipedes," but ive since started leaning more towards an obvious tapeworm motif for them because its gross and i enjoy it morbidly. it also has some pretty cursed implications if you think about it for too long which i have decided are funny/really disgusting/so stupid that they have to stay. i still flipflop between considering them centipedes vs tapeworms though and i dont think thatll ever be rigidly defined. the ambiguity is nice to toy with

on the top 10 list of "things that are not fun" having turbo worms has to be somewhere up there, so eoc has it *rough,* and kind of sort of eventually barrels off into the deep end because of it. his futile attempts to clean his own structure are frustrating enough, and the constant feeling of bugs crawling all over the inside of his body (which only gets progressively worse with time) does no favors either. however, the real big reason why he mentally declines is just because there's a ton of centi-worm things eating like fire through his neurons and other what-have-yous that iterators need to think and function. i think if he only got hit with one of these 3 things then he might have been able to hang onto his sanity, but with the triple combo he doesn't really stand a chance of doing much except stalling his functional death. which is good on him because if i was an iterator and my overseers told me i had a structure infestation, my mental health would have just preemptively swan dived off a bridge before anything even happened

anyhow, exponential parasite population growth meant exponential increase in all this other fun stuff, which means the time from the beginning of the infection to the time eoc is considered officially gone is startlingly short (for iterators, at least). it still took quite the while because losing your marbles is a loonnnng process, but still, yikes. its unfortunate because eoc was a real jokester pre-everything, and a cool guy to talk to. he was one of those people who could come up witty comments for anything like hed been ripped from the script of a sitcom. oh yeah, also, should have mentioned this earlier, but he ends up accidentally amassing a scavenger cult mid-insanity which goes hilariously bad because he's barely aware it's happening. nothing really works out for this poor iterator.

tldr: eoc gets parasites, they erode his brain, he goes nuts about it, (accidentally amasses a cult,) dies

RIGHT i've watched the first six episodes of enterprise (five if the two-part pilot only counts as one) and i have things to say. take all of them with a pinch of salt bc ive only just started it but i have a sneaking sense that it will continue in much the same fashion.

first of all the backswing from ds9 + voyager's first black captain and first female captain is TANGIBLE. to quote eleanour "girlboss" guthrie-blacksails so many goddamn (white) men here!!! too many goddamn (white) men here!!! not only are they white men, archer and trip specifically are Cowboys in the most "we clearly want to write a classic western" sense. if i closed my eyes and listened to a scene with just the two of them i wouldn't be able to distinguish it from firefly, a show where they purposefully put on cowboy voices because apparently space westerns were all the rage in 2001-2002.

t'pol is really the only woman i would call a main rather than supporting character and her role thus far seems to be emulating the nagging sitcom wife, in that she naysays everything, gets utterly disregarded, is proven right by the end of the episode, and then is immediately disregarded again next episode. i find the idea of vulcans intentionally curtailing human progress into space and humans rebelling against that really interesting, but i hate the way the casting and direction turns space travel into this gung-ho boys will be boys situation because even though t'pol is right, she's being Framed as a killjoy in such a gendered way.

back to the western thing - i watched a Lot of 50s' and 60s' westerns as a child and out of the five episodes of enterprise i've seen so far, three have used tropes or stock situations directly from westerns with the worst offender being s1e6 terra nova. i was fucking gobsmacked by that episode like it was BLATANT. the fact that most of their outdoor scenes are probably filmed in california which is where a lot of westerns are filmed by pure hollywood convenience probably doesn't help, but it's really evident in the writing as well. i remember reading that the original series wanted to take the western frontier into space and make a "wagon train to the stars" and it feels like enterprise decided to go all the way back to that concept and do it far, far less subtly.

of course the problem with this is that rather than engage with the politics of that genre and how they've influenced the formation of star trek (is the federation an imperialist entity? is starfleet a colonialist military? etc) it feels so far that enterprise is just having a great time playing uncritical cowboys and aliens, completely erasing indigenous people from the narrative of westward expansion or replacing them with the non-human which. fucking sucks!!

the fact that t'pol is constantly getting racially harassed and abused as the only vulcan aboard, the fact that hoshi is inexperienced with combat and space travel so its always the men doing the action scenes, the fact that travis is the youngest and least ranking officer on the bridge and the fact that enterprise was "rick berman's baby" are all adding up to a conscious agenda of putting white men at the forefront of trek again.

if i'm wrong about any of this i would love to hear from people who've watched further than me! i dont mind about spoilers i've already had loads

What are your thoughts on mixology certification (the episode)? It’s one of my favs cause I love seeing more of Troy and the Troy and Annie scene at the end is one of my fav scenes ever

I LOVE ITT. and that scene is so peak yeah. so here. my collection of thoughts on mixology certification written at midnight

it’s probably one of my favorites really because it’s like so good for a sitcom episode where the characters are out of their normal situation. ykwim? it could’ve gone bad but it works

its such a great troy episode. obviously wanting to grow up stays part of his character for a while longer but the dynamic between him and that motivation is just shifted. its realized. defined . and so well. it’s pivotal really

also i really like the farscape bit. its funny and it adds a little “yeah guys abed knows what sex is” to everything. always cool because i know some people r out here forgetting that

REDSTREET DONT EVEN GET ME STARTEDD. OHH BOY oh redstreet THEY THOUGHT IT WAS DIFFERENT BARS ohg. euh

shirley’s part in this episode is also very interesting and important to jer character i’d say? i think they could’ve enunciated more on it so to speak but her being an ex alcoholic is like. well you see idk what to do with that and i think deep down neither did they

caroline from corpus christi. what even is hospital administration. who am i, annie?

you’re annie.!

its also funny and silly and has good jokes. like the scene where jeffbritta are making out and abed is just. sitting there. uncomfortably. makes me giggle every time.

Preliminary Poll

Jughead

Submission reason:

They put them in Riverdale. Ok but seriously they way they were portrayed in Riverdale was so against character, so edgy on comparison to the happy go lucky personality that is the staple of his character, and the fact that they entirely erased his asexual/aromantic identity.

They took away the fact that he was aromantic!! Im pissed because he was great rep!! Seriously, reading jughead 2015 was such a personal and relatable experience that i havent found often in media because aro people are overlooked all the time and the rep is ignored for shipping purposes and its even worse that it happened here!! Not only did they erase him being ace, which was STATED IN THE TEXT, but they also took away the way that he was intentionally written to be romance and relationship averse and its just infuriating because he did not deserve this!!! Aro people did not deserve this!!! Im still so annoyed!!!

I will be honest. I have not watched riverdale and I never will. But in the comics. ESPECIALLY THE JUGHEAD(2015) COMICS. HE IS CANONICALLY AROACE. ACTUAL DIALOGUE FROM THE COMIC, OF KEVIN KELLER SPEAKING TO JUGHEAD -> "my romantic options cant take that kind of hit! you just dont get it cause youre asexual..." ACTUAL DIALOGUE FROM JUGHEAD -> "I DONT GET CRUSHES. I just--found her interesting! Its a FRIENDSHIP crush, IF anything." "...And yet, IM the crazy one for not wanting to kiss people. RIGHT." AND NO IF YOURE WONDERING HE DOES NOT END UP TOGETHER WITH THE PERSON HES TALKING ABOUT THERE. HERES HIM TELLING HER -> "I dont GO on dates, Sabrina. I dont like people that way, you know? And when you asked me out, i didnt realize it WAS a date until too late. I shouldve explained the situation, but instead I went along with it, and just kept... you know, trying to escape. And that wasnt fair to you, and im sorry. My judgement was clouded by the fact that, on some primal and fundamental level, all I really want to do is hang out with a giant talking burger. I know that about myself now, and I accept it gladly." <- i will not be giving context for that last part go read the fucking Jughead(2015) comics right now i will GLADLY send ANYBODY who asks a link. Again. I havent seen riverdale. I HAVE however watched a VIDEO ESSAY on it by someone who never read the comics. And the only positive thing they had to say about that damn show was that they thought bughead was cute. Honestly you could put ANY character from riverdale in this bracket because the original comics ARE A FUCKING SITCOM!!!! well the special stories (like Jughead(2015)) arent as sitcommy and are no stranger to Things Getting Fucking Weird but they never had shit like DARK FUCKING BETTY! No. Instead they had MORE WHOLESOME storylines, like ARCHIE GETTING SHOT AND DYING. dude unrelated one of my comic books had an ad for that with the cover that had archie lying there drenched in a pretty minimal amount of blood actually and i was sooooo scared of it as a kid. i was flipping throuhg the book the first time and dropped it and RAN CRYING AWAY it was the most graphic thing i had seen in my entire 7 years of life. sorry these comics mean a lot to me. i have over 300 of them <3

Propaganda:

a vote for jughead is a vote for aroaces. like ME <3

Aro/Ace rights.

There are so many tropes that i hate but i can't remember most of them at the moment. I hate when the mc is a pushover like when they let the obvious bad people do things to them just cus they love that person 🙄

I am seriously done with the one bed trope. It's too overused and i will skip the fic if it's all that there is.

When they don't let the other person explain the situation. Like take a breath and let them talk for a sec. That alone would make the whole situation better. This always makes me wanna give them a good old smack.

When its enemies to lovers but it's so obvious that they like each other. That's not how it works. When it's etl i want them to hate each other for real, not secretly in love with each other.

When they add random korean words in the fic. Like the endearment terms and all. That's kinda cringy not gonna lie.

When they make the girlfriend of the male lead a meanie even if she didn't do anything bad at all. Like why is the man falling in love with the mc when he's already in a relationship with someone nice. That's basically cheating and it shouldn't be glorified. This happens a lot with the bestfriend to lovers trope. It's such a turn off for me. Like stop villainizing the gf.

Dude i feel so bad for saying all these. I hope no one gets upset over this. You can write whatever you want ❤️

tell me about tropes you dislike (or like!!), or send an ask about it!

I got so excited when I saw how long this was kjfnsnk

about the mc being a pushover I can definitely see that being annoying, ive read a couple fics (mostly in my 1D wattpad days rip) that had mcs like that and it made me wanna punch their face or stop reading altogether. In books too, ive seen it becoming a more popular trend to make one of the main characters rude asf but then expecting the readers to forgive them bc of what they are to the protagonist, ive dropped so many books bc of this exact reason.

WTF I LOVE THE ONE BED TROPE 😭😭😭😭 its overused and borderline cringe but its just so good I love the cliche

OH MY GOD I HATE MISCOMMUNICATION SO MUCH and this is in every aspect in books, in fics, in real life all of the above. the thing that irks me most is when the miscommunication is drawn out for a longer period, if its a shorter fic I can read it but the second I realise this is a major plot point in a larger story im out. it grinds my gears so bad fr. side note, but that thing they do in sitcoms where the miscommunication starts with the person NOT interjecting with the explanation is the absolute worst.

Honestly, I feel like it becomes really hard to shield when you pretend to hate someone even when you like them so it turns into not-really-enemies anyway, so yeah that becomes more like rivals (?) to lovers.

OH THE RANDOM KOREAN WORDS DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED im super grateful it isn't that big of an epidemic on caratblr but ive seen some shit in other fandoms its actually horrible.

The last one is only acceptable when the dude figures his shit out before it becomes actual emotional cheating. also about the gf thing, it totally depends on what she does as a character but it gets annoying when the entire plot of the story is just the gf as the villain.

vil not knowing that deuce and epel are dating ( bc they are actively hiding it from him lol ) so he sets epel up with some famous and / or high class guy . maybe a fellow model or actor he met on set thats epel's age , or someone from a nobel / important family

obviously epel refuses , but vil insists

" you always dig your heels , but you end up having a good time , no ? just give it a chance , you might end up surprising yourself with how much you like him . if you dont want to go on a second date i wont push you " he reasons

epel doesnt know wether or not he should tell deuce about it , especially since he doesnt plan on this going past a first date anyways , however he decides that being honest and straightforward is best

deuce isnt ,, thrilled about it . but epel promises that itll only be one date , and it doesnt mean anything , and he'll be thinking of deuce tha whole tiem

deuce doesnt liek seeing epel being forced into an uncomfortable situation , but its not liek they can tell vil about them , so he kisses epels knuckles and looks him in tha eyes and says " i trust you "

" and if he tries anything funny , just call me and i'll come running " he does his Delinquient Pose™ . if it was anyone else epel would have been annoyed-- he can handle himself thank you very much-- but he knows that coming from deuce its out of comradery and care

they kiss , and epel has to go back to his dorm to get ready

the date goes well enough , but only because epel knows word will get back to vil if he's outright rude to tha guy . and its not liek tha guy has done anything wrong [yet?] , so really he shouldn't be too hard on tha poor sod . plus he probably doesnt want to make such an influential enemy

deuce is worried all evening , pacing back and forth in his room . he told epel that he trusted him , and he does . but he cant help but worry ,,

ace and grim convince him that its for tha best to go check up on epel , just to maek sure he's okay ( wether or not they know tha situation , i'll leave up to you . they purrobably figure deuce has a crush on epel , at least )

tha guy totally isnt epels type . hes snooty and self-absorbed , and epel just about threw his drink in his face wen he saw him roll his eyes at tha waitstaff ( theyre at some fancy restaurant , of course ) , but he bit his tongue and stayed in his seat . just maek it through tha night , epel ,,

tha guy lieks epel though . he mistook epel biting his tongue as being cutely shy , or perhaps elegant and demure , what a quiet and enigmatic beauty ,,

adeuce and grim can only watch from outside through a window ( lbr they arent getting in lol with what money . plus they didn't maek a reservation ) . ace n grim want to do some sitcom-y shenanagins liek pretending to be waiters to spy on tha date , but deuce holds them back

eventually tha meal is finished , and tha pair leave tha restaurant , adeuce + grim frantically scrambling out of sight . tha guy walks epel home , and tha trailing trio keep a respectable distance , popping up from bushes and trashcans liek in a cartoon

wen they get back to [ campus ? tha dorms ?? or if u want this to be an AU just back at vil n epels apartment or something . or mansion . insert location here ] tha guy tries to snag a kiss , but epel leans back and turns his face away

guy : " ah , of course-- i shouldnt rush things . i hope i didnt scare you , my delicate flower " * brushes epels hair behind his ear *

epel : * excalibur cringe *

epel has to break it to him that this was just a one tiem thing . honestly itd be easier to just ghost him but epel isnt that type . " listen , i appreciate your tiem , but i really dont think we should keep seeing eachother . get home safe , goodnight "

deuce is secretly relieved and also is watching intently . if this guy tries to give epel shit bc he got rejected ,,

theres an awkward silence but thankfully tha guy is just liek " well . i seem to have misread tha situation . good day " and speedwalks outta there w a strained smile , purrobably embarrassed . hes kind of a prick but i feel a lil bad 4 him lol awkwaaaaard

idk it was kinda hard to figure out how i wanted to end this , i could see this going many different ways and towards tha end i could feel myself spinning my wheels . id be fine if this ended @ tha 7th bullet point honestly but i wanted 2 do moar ,, im not entirely satisfied but ive got nothin bettr atm lol . i didnt rlly focus on tha concept of deuce n epel hiding their relationship from vil enough , i think

anyways . maybe tha guy cant stop thinking about epel and keeps trying for another date , sending flowers and chocolates and stuff , much to deuces displeasure . vil immediately enters protective mode n tells tha guy to back off lol . epel isnt interested so bye

or maybe tha tabloids caught pics of them and now epel is on a bunch of magazine covers . mystery date makes [ popular guy ] swoon ? vil schoenheit's protege entering tha showbiz world as a charming young bachelor ? does bruno mars is gay ?

epel and deuce spend tha next few days lounging around reading headlines to eachother and laughing about it

also cuddling a lot . bc deuce loves epel and he didnt liek seeing him w someone else and he just wants 2 b close to him

unfortunately for both of them , vil might find som other ppl to set epel up with . why lose this momentum ? epel could be tha next big thing , and there's certainly a lot of interest / suitors now

gl @ nearly everyone in this situation LOL

chapter long breaking bad inspired spin off. just rewriting 212 and everything goes back to normal by the end. emphasis on gag anime

everything starts the same but like instead of kochikame ending breaking bad just ended. kusuo doesnt really care. kuniharu just lost his job and at the same time’s mourning the loss of his favorite show. hes all like aaagh wish i could just cook CENSORED. kusuo smacks the word out of the air hes spiking a volleyball. youre insane, you cant just say that in a shonen jump manga. also did you not at all get the point of the show.

kuniharu’s like yeah i was joking but im still unemployed and kuusuke walks in sitcom style like cannon. he’s like yeah let the man do what he wants. i think this would be a great independent business opportunity and i’ll even be your first employee. dont worry about the chemistry part i can do that. kuniharu’s like noooo i wouldnt noooooooo. but’s totally into it.

anyways by this point i havent got a clue how kuusuke would be able to walk out the door without kusuo grabbing him by the scruff of his neck and putting him into time out in some barren land. if kuusuke manages to talk himself out of it promising that hes crushed up blue raspberry jolly ranchers for him, a montage of kuniharu being chased by various dangerous things is just the level of fucked up but acceptable that sknpn allows.

as for the his old company gaining enough money.. idk maybe kuusuke uploads a series of viral vids of kuniharu narrowly escaping those situations. heavily edited of course. “39 year old man expertly climbs a tree as hes being chased by extremely large guard dogs”. naturally kusuo looks directly at the reader and says dont do drugs.

things about my unnamed robot guy (pictured below) sorry its long. ive never used a read more link this is so exciting

-in the future where the us military is just starting to experiment with fully autonomous android soldiers. the first generation are deemed unfit for practical use for various reasons

-no particular protocol for disposing of them so once the second generation is under way the majority are scrapped or deconstructed for parts but some are kept around military compounds as free labor or whatever

-my guy came from a base in arizona where he was being used for menial tasks, the people at the base liked to fuck around with him because he would do whatever they wanted

-at some point this led to his tracking system being broken so when he finds his way out (details unclear) they arent able to find him and apparently deem it not worth pursuing further (do not care about the implications of this not my problem)

-he ends up in a little desert town thats slowly dying (like figuratively), and mostly everyone there who hasnt already left is content to die with it. some time ago it was a factory town but since then there hasnt really been any reason for anyone to move there so its just been slowly deteriorating for decades upon decades

-he arrives in the middle of the night and the only person still out and about is an 18 or 19 year old girl walking around smoking a cigarette who sees him and thinks hes the coolest thing ever because hes a cool robot and she kind of monologues to him about her situation and the state of the town as they walk around together

-basically she lives alone here with her cat and she hates that the town is the way it is and that nobody wants to do anything about it but she cant afford to leave so she just spends her time outside of work wandering around daydreaming or whatever

-he understands spoken and written english but he cant speak, and he doesnt have much of a personality at this point so he doesnt react much beyond vague gestures (plus he doesnt really know that much about the world so he doesnt totally get it anyway) she likes this about him since everyone else just pities her. she also says he reminds her of a cat but he doesnt know what a cat is, this comparison becomes important to him as a symbol of the first time someone treated him like a person

-she takes him back to her house and he lives there for like a year and a half. at first he only communicates through vague gestures but over time she teaches him asl which she knows because her mom was deaf. when shes not working she takes him around town with her and teaches him things (she likes to dress him up when she takes him out), people dont seem to mind since nothing interesting happens there so everyone just knows him as the robot that hangs out around town with that weird girl. at this point robots are uncommon in day to day life but they do exist, nobody in the town has ever seen one in person but theyve heard of them so its only shocking because nobody would have ever expected to see one in a town like this

-he takes a liking to cats and starts wearing clothes and doing things on his own, through his interactions with people he starts to develop more of a personality and even emotional responses to things

-for a while he questions whether or not his inner world is authentic and meaningful or if its just his ai mimicking traits of people hes met but in the end he decides it doesnt matter either way because its real and important to him (sitcom awe sound effect)

-at a certain point the girl starts acting sort of distant but he doesnt have the emotional intelligence to understand that anything is wrong, and one day she just disappears without a word. nobody else knew her and she didnt have any family so nobody cares to look for her (kind of a parallel i guess). he stays in the town waiting for her and taking care of the cat for half a year but the cat is already old and eventually it passes away. he had learned about the way humans honor their dead from the girl and he gives the cat a proper burial

-he wanders around the town for weeks not sure what to do, he sort of starts to revert back to how he was before he met the girl because without her to talk to or the cat to take care of he feels like hes lost his connection to the human world. people around town start to notice that hes different and over time they reach out and help him recover, he starts to reconnect with other people in town and he goes around helping them out with whatever tasks need to be done (this time of his own accord as like a parallel to what he did at the military compound)

-eventually he gets a place to stay and once enough time has passed he gets another cat and names it after the girl, not as like a replacement for her but as a way to honor his memory of her. i dont have anything planned after that i think it would be weird if the girl just came back. i was also trying to think about how to deal with his battery running out i feel like that could be used to touch on mortality but i didnt know how to incorporate it plus im literally making this up as i go. so sure maybe that would happen eventually

to be honest im a little embarrassed to be posting this ive never taken writing seriously at all and ive never really been into making “““ocs”““ beyond like fun character designs but ive been thinking about this all day and i thought maybe it would be fun to actually do it. i dont plan on making this into anything btw and also i still dont have a name for him or the girl or the cat or anything and ive only drawn him twice (or 3 times if you count the roblox mouse drawing or like 8 times if you count the doodles of his head from different angles at various levels of detail in my philosophy notebook)

oh and a special little detail for people who read the whole thing or who clicked the link and scrolled past it anyway: he has a rotor inside his chest that spins faster when hes happy and it makes him sound like hes purring :)

all i really want is like a 250k word redemption fic for ashura [and i mean redemption i dont mean "well he was just a little sad :( so all the murder was okay <3" no i mean its frustrating its messy its painful and even after he's turned a new leaf + tried to make amends, people still hate him and he has to learn how to deal with that] where death is, inexplicably, still around and we just tear into the sordid family drama and there is loads of underlying bitterness and anger about this entire incredibly something situation. and then a sequel which is a collection of loosely related oneshots that updates once every like 4 months which is just a really stupid sitcom of death + kid + liz + patty + ashura doing incredibly dumb stuff together with a helping of idiotic domestic shenaniganery. is that so much to ask for

This isnt a request ask, I just hope you dont mind me sharing ideas bc I cant sleep right now. But of course you can just delete this!

Yandere is more of a horror trope than anything else, but when I think of yandere as it applies to some characters I cant help but think of it as a comedy. Like Mitsuru? Sir Dash-Dash may try to follow you around but he was so much energy he either gives himself away or takes a quick "dashing break" so that by the time he returns he might've lost you. His method of manipulation is buying your favorite bread, but not just one, but two, three, maybe even four loaves so you can eat them together & he'll lie & tell you it's also his favorite when it might not be. Subaru? Definitely levarages Daikichi & how round our chunky lad is. Like "look look~! He extra plump today don't you think! ☆" He points out something like how Daikichi walks with a little sass so you would be on the look out for Daikichi's swaying furry rump just so your attention could easily be pulled in his direction & he can greet you casually.

Also, I just had this idea of non-yandere!Mika with a s/o who doesnt usually buy merch bc they dont have the space, it could get dirty, or broken (me lol), but when they do buy merch of Mika, like a keychain or something, they also always try to get Arashi's too. And if asked why it's bc "you two are best friends, so I want you two to always be together" bc I just rlly like the idea of s/os who understands that there will be things their partner might need that they can't provide, but friends can & encourages & fully supports that their partner has deep & meaningful relationships with other ppl. A s/o who looks at their partner and their best friend with a warm smile & all the hope in the world that they'll continue supporting each other with the immense gratitude that their partner has such good people in their life.

- 🐶

Okay but I agree with this entire ask so much! Yandere is obviously a horror trope and something you would never want to encounter in real life but despite the terror there is the opportunity to turn such a horrifying trope into something very comedic, depending on the type of humor you have! There´s a reason the overprotective lover trope gets played as a joke in many sitcoms so even if a yandere is a great deal worse than that it can still be fun to make light of a (fictional) scary situation like that!

And I also really like the second part of your ask and I totally agree as well! It´s kind of sad how often I see people on the internet saying that their partner shouldn´t have any other people they spend their time with and that they should be enough for them. Like why? Do you not want your significant other to have meaningful relationships with people aside from you? It´s honestly so toxic.

Having best friends you can talk to whenever you need to and still being in a committed relationship should be more normalized and I totally approve of this message!

DIAMONDS OF THE MARINA Pt. 1

I honestly think that sitcoms need better environments for unique situations that are also personal and communal.

I want to pitch. a houseboat sitcom

yeah, not just dad, hes diving in the back for all the stuff thats gotten lost over the years, moms fixing that cabinet full of plumbing that boats have and shes yelling southern curses that beccome more and more ridiculous and impossible to be used by more than one person.

the one son died two years ago, because a houseboat is inherently dangerous and sitcoms need darkness, its important, once every few episodes he dad on full house gets like mega bummed and looks off camera while we think of light in this mans life dying and why are these two dudes just living with your family? dude were you gonna fucking kill yourself?

theres a kimmy gibler character with a turtle that everyone tells her cant survive in the water and maybe at some point they do like a scuba suit and its silly and cute (phwew love that)

theres a cool guy on a motorcycle, but he really doesnt think the docks are a cool place to be, fuck that, hes loves chugging cock

theres a silly guy on a seadoo who is funny and silly, except when hes on his fucking seadoo, thats the motorcycle of the sea, and im the cool motorcycle guy of the sea and i only want one thing and thats some moody twink you suck me cock all the time (why not) and we live on the sea at this pier? dock? i genuinely should know thIs- MARINA

She's our angel investor and frequent musical guest who can be given acting lines and jokes, and your musical muscle can do a bad job at acting because the script can bend to accomodate it, even by timming her time and making it funny that her delivery is shit

but maybe shell suprise us, we need a producer because i dont think i could say no to Marina

theres either a film finale, or a spinoff mini-series called "the diamonds" and its her old band on a quest to find where the missing megastar is, theyre all worried sick and terrified for her wellbeing because they love her (idk if they do) and everywhere they go people are like "Marina? didnt she dump you? you idiots! hahaha" and theyre like NO, Marina is an artist and her and us, were artists, you dont fucking understand our bond. they all lift their shirts and they all have the right half of a bff necklace tatood on their stomachs (the joke is when they finally show hers, its also a right half and then)

baxter or another dog name, runs onscreen and the band and marina all rush to him and his collar tag, yeah bitch, its the fucking left half of the bff necklace, they share the dog still, because theyre a family

theres a clown character who lives in a clown boat, he mostly doesnt talk and does physical comedy though he will typically get a few lines per episode to make sure he gets that speaking role check, and he dies once per episode, never where anyone sees, just off to the side or behind a wood thing that they have at docks and shit

theres a cop who sucks and every time he's investigating something illegal, every single time, someone sends him on a wild goose chase so he doesnt destroy their community

hi! 2, 4, 5 and 6 for mash asks

and 11, which i ask of everyone: fave klinger outfit + fave margaret hairstyle

2- Honestly probably Henry Blake! The 'my wife' jokes aside I think he's a much more interesting and fun character than people realise! He had a lot of respect for everyone in the camp and I felt mclean did a really good job conveying a genuine person with realistic flaws and personality!

Also honourable mention to radar bc I have a post about him in the oven and reading this actually made me realise something else i want to talk about in it!

4- this is a hard one, I found that even though I think the show as a whole is very impactful I'm not sure if any episode ever really got to me so much i cried. Abyssinia Henry and Quo Vadis Captain Chandler are the first to come to mind. I think the choice to kill Henry was so bold and unexpected in a sitcom and I found myself missing Henry so much after that it really was like I was grieving his loss too. I wish they had been able to explore the effects of seeing someone they knew killed on the other character.

Quo Vadis is I think one of the best explorations of the effect war has on people. I found it so personal and raw to see this one man behave exactly how he believed his God would and how he broke down was so tragic.

5- The episodes I remember really getting me were The novacaine mutiny and Chief surgeon who? They're both some of my favourites and I think chief surgeon did such an amazing job showing just how anti military the whole outfit was, I wish it had kept more of that!

6- in no particular order Carry On Hawkeye, the sniper and O.R.

Honestly all of the unusual episodes like deluge and the interview episodes are top of my list. I also think season four was very good but I cant actually think of any off the top of my head so they dont get top billing.

11- that yellow gone with the wind dress he wears is always the first one i think of!! I also love the one he wears when he's reading poetry on the hillside, it's just such a specific scene he created that was so in character and yet at such odds with the situation he's in.

The first one i thought of was her little pigtails from the Olympics episode! I cant say I really noticed her hair very often but I liked how much she just let go and enjoyed herself in that episode and the pigtails were such a fun way to show that.

scooby gang but theyre monsters au

ok fuck it. full post for this

fred and daphne were childhood friends and fred's known that daphne's a witch forever. she’s not as good at it as her mom but she was in training for a while. they graduate high school and plan on taking a Fun Road Trip before college in the van fred got a few years ago when he turned 16 and theyre not gone for 3 days before something very bad happens to fred (idk what yet but its not a car crash bc that would hurt the mystery machine) and he is in critical condition. on the cusp of dying. so daphne tries a healing spell and it just so happens to be cast right at the moment that fred dies. and this does some magicfuckshit that turns him into a vampire. so now they are breaking into blood banks so that he can eat and killing more people than they mean to and its a wacky sitcom where they can never go back home. *funny guitar riff*

they prob meet velma first. theyre sightseeing in some forest and velma (werewolf) is caught slippin. her family lives in that forest and she's getting very restless and wants to travel but had no means to beforehand. so fred n daph take her along after putting a big scarf on her to hide her werewolf sideburns and also her huge fangs. her first day at a library is the best goddamn day of her life; she learned to read from discarded books left by tourists

idk how they meet shaggy and scooby yet but its some similar situation, except shaggy's not with his family. he's not really sure what happened to them bc he grew up in a house he always thought was haunted and it gave him pretty bad anxiety. sometimes his eyes would glow when he was alone and he'd black out and wake up somewhere else with only fuzzy memories. it's probably fine dont worry about it. (he's a possessed eldritch thing, it's not something else in him, it's Him that haunts things). and then one day he woke up and his parents (who he was never very close to, he can't remember the last time they told him they loved him) were not available for comment so he left and now he's just wandering. the gang finds him at a gas station outside at night and take him in like a baby bird and who would have known? having friends that care about him makes him much less prone to hauntings

shaggy met scooby when he was younger but scoob lives in the forest behind his house. shaggy fed him and they formed an instant bond (scooby's a hellhound and senses shaggy's powers) so he took scooby w him when he left

im very glad to have this pinned down now. i love monster aus and it took me so long to make one for scooby because theres only 5 of them. i cant just be like AND THEYRE A GHOST AND THEYRE A ZOMBIE like a checklist. i have to like...have reasons LMAO

i won by loving you \ s.r fanfic

pairing: spencer reid x reader summary: reader is terminally ill and is saying goodbye to her loved one. genre: angst. all the angst. word count: 1.7k cw: mentions and talk about cancer(melanoma), death of reader, some curse words, nicknames (angel,love). prompt: "for what its worth" a\n: hi loves! this is my entry for @spareau celebration! i know this is a difficult subject and i wrote it from my experience of losing someone to melanoma. please dont read it if it can trigger you. masterlist - -

Spencer should have seen it coming- you told him about your aunt passing from melanoma when you were younger, he knew you went to a dermatologist for a checkup every year. He should have seen the signs, he should have checked your spots himself, he should have known that those back pains were more than just tired muscles. But he missed it all, and now you were on stage 4, the cancer had spread and it was too late. But it can't be it, he can't lose you. You can still fight this, you can find a clinical trial to partake in. you can't just give up!

“No! I won't accept you backing out! I will find a doctor, somewhere in the world there is a person that can cure you, and we will go to him. Please just don't lose hope”

You looked at the love of your life breaking in front of you, and for a moment you thought about indulging him and continuing with the treatment, just for him. But this wasn't right. You couldn't do it. You stepped closer to Spencer, your hands resting on his cheeks that were wet from tears, and kissed his forehead.

“Spencer, my love. We tried everything. Chemo, radiation, Immunotherapy. Nothing works and now it's too late and the cancer spread too far”

You choked a sob and rested your heads together.

“The doctor gave me 3 months”

his head shot up with eyes black from horror, anger, fear. His mouth hung open as he tried to think about something to say, but nothing came up. His head that was usually busy and filled with thoughts, ideas and facts was empty. He could only focus on your words. 3 months. That's all he gets to spend with you.

“I don't want to spend my last time on this earth locked up in a hospital room with a needle up my arm. I want to be at home with you. I want to spend every minute I have left with the person that gives me joy. I hope you can respect my decision.”

Spencer knew in his head that it made sense, You have lost so much in the last 6 months. You had to quit your job at the museum, you stopped getting your period and had a freak out about never being able to get pregnant (oh how silly this seems compared to the current situation), your beautiful hair was shedding in pieces and on one horrible weekend you both got a buzzcut together.

He saw you fighting, but he also saw the light disappear from your eyes after every visit to the hospital. He saw the marking you had on your skin from scratching it too hard. He knew you were suffering, and if it really was the end, then you were right. You should not waste it in a fluorescent lit hospital room, you should spend it doing things that make you happy. He moved his shaking hands to catch yours and pressed it against his lips to kiss them, before staring into your big eyes.

“I understand, and you're right. I'm gonna take 3 months off so we can spend every moment we can together, you'll end up getting sick of me.”

Y\n laughed, one of those big heartwarming laughs that Spencer hasn't heard in awhile. It filled his heart with joy, even if it's just for a second.

“Never going to happen angel!”

Spencer took her little weak body in his arms and spun them around in the kitchen. He's planning on making the best of the time they have left, making every moment count.

“Now I have to tell my mom about this, and she's probably going to take a flight so she can come kill me herself. Wish me luck!” Later that night, as they sat on the sofa watching reruns of some stupid sitcom, eating takeout in their pajamas, spencer knew this was the right moment, and he will never get another one.

“Y\n?”

Her face moved from the tv towards him with a gentle smile.

“Yes love?”

taking both of their plates and putting them on the table, he moved closer to her and intertwined her fingers with his. Their hands always fit perfectly together- like two puzzle pieces looking for each other.

“This isn't how I wanted to do this, and it's far from romantic. But I know I only have 3 months left with you and I don't want to spend it without asking you this, without having the pleasure of calling you my wife. So please, will you marry me?”

As she lunged her body forward to hug him, her mouth said the same word over and over again in different ways.

Yes, absolutely, beyond a doubt, definitely, of course, willingly. All they ever wanted was to share a life together, to be bound to each other for infinity. - 4 months have passed, and y\n died. She went to sleep one cold November night, kissing her husband goodnight, and never got up again. Spencer's head told him that this was the best way she could go, without any pain and without feeling the life drain out of her. But at the same time, he would never be able to forget the feeling of her cold hands in the morning, how he couldn't hear her breath next to him when he woke up, how her eyes never opened despite him crying. As he stood over her headstone, trying to imagine her standing next to him and smiling, a woman carrying a bouquet of daisies came up next to him. He watched her as she laid the flowers down, wondering who she was and how come he never saw her. Will now be the right time to ask her how she knew you? Can he even bring himself to talk? How did she know your favorite flower, she must be close to you.

“Youre dr. Reid, right?”

“I- yes I am. How did you know y\n? I didn't see you at her funeral last week.”

The mystery woman smiled weakly, reaching into her bag and holding an envelope.

“We used to date a long time ago before I moved to Europe, her family hates me so I thought i shouldnt come to the funeral.”

She played a bit with the envelope in her hands, turning it a few times before handing it in to spencer.

“She sent me this 4 months ago, when she knew her time was about to end. It's for you.”

As soon as she finished talking, and Spencer took the letter, she walked away. Leaving an infinity of unanswered questions behind her. But Spencer couldn't focus on that. His hands burn at the touch of the last thing he will ever receive from you, at the last words he will get. he opened the letter slowly, his breath stopping and tears already forming in his eyes.

My dearest spencer. My years with you have been the happiest of my life, I never knew I could feel so good in my own skin before you showed up. You taught me how to love, how to care and how to see beauty in everyday life. I'm writing you this letter the day after our wedding. I can't even begin to explain to you that I am the luckiest woman in the world, and I can't believe I get to call myself mrs. Reid, even if it's for a short while. As I walked down the aisle yesterday with my parents, I couldn't see anything but your bright smile waiting for me. Nothing else mattered, the whole world disappeared and it was just me and you, promising each other forever. I don't know if I believe in the afterlife, or even in reincarnation, but I know that we will meet again some way. Maybe we will both be trees in a forest, swaying together to the wind. Maybe we will be two dolphins swimming in the ocean, or even two pages in the same book bind together while a lucky person gets to read us. It doesn't matter, as long as I can have you by my side again. My darling, it was my pleasure and privilege to love you. I will cherish forever our time together, and all the memories- the good and the bad. I know you don't believe in astrology and the science of the stars, but ever since I was a little girl I had a feeling that I would fall in love with a scorpio. And for what it's worth- you are the best scorpio I could ever wish for. Spence, baby, I am asking you, please don't wallow in pity and never allow yourself to love again. I hope you will find another person that can make you smile, that will hear you spit facts, that will get to enjoy the way your hair is tangled in the mornings. I know you will never forget me, but I want you to move on, I want you to find another chance of happiness. I will love you forever, until the universe turns to dust. I will love you through eternal silence and through the pulling hands of the afterworld. Goodbye my love, I wish you all the good life can bring.

Mrs. reid.

Okay I really love the idea of Kay and Sebastian being like brother/sister after the events of AAi2, I don't know if I can come up with specific headcanons other than Kay getting into a lot of trouble and Sebastian worrying all the time abt her safety

okay hear me out. roommates. they're both 17 and dont really have parents (except for edgeworth) and they hang out ALL the time at the prosecutors office (because kay insists that she works there. she does not. she is not being paid for all the havoc she wreaks) and they get to talking about their home situations and they're like hey. this gives me an idea.

they tell edgeworth about their plan and he tells them thats a lovely idea but there is no way that will work out well, and they argue that its perfect. kay says "oh, come on! we have a breadwinner" and she points to sebastian, "and a housewifey!" and she points to herself. "but like, completely platonic" and she then clarifies that she has no intention of doing much housework

edgeworth is about to point out that they're definitely going to need to do housework if they want to live together, but suddenly the two are distracted talking about how this is going to be JUST like a sitcom. "is this going to be one of the sitcoms where a character has to learn a lesson every episode?" sebastian asks, and kay says, "nah, that blows. lets just be funny as hell."

finally edgeworth manages to point out that it will be very hard for two seventeen year olds to live on their own together, especially two as irresponsible as kay and sebastian

"then we just gotta add someone else! you, new guy! want to live with us?"

the new guy is klavier and he doesnt know who anyone here is but edgeworth. "uh, sur- i mean, ja?"

"mm, he sounds french or something. never mind."

"no, i think that was an australian accent."

"do you mean austrian?"

"maybe"

the two then spend half an hour arguing over accents without once asking klavier what his accent is. edgeworth finally relaxes bc clearly they're distracted and wont bring up the roommates thing again. the next day, they tell him they put a deposit on an apartment
