So I’ve written the Beemer as a stick shift but TBH I have no fucking idea about how common automatics were in the 80s

no i am not over how one of the first things kris does of their own accord without our input is to lay down their life for this weird ipad kid they met five hours ago no i am not over "hell yeah i am here to humiliate you fucker" no i am not over "did you miss me? because i missed you!" no i am not over how much not only susie but also kris (and ralsei) genuinely care about their new adopted little cousin guy and the fact that he went from having no friends at all to 3 ride or die bffs who were willing to do what every adult in his life failed to do which is stand up for him i-

co-high kings galadriel & celeborn

since elrond doesn't want the kingship, galadriel & celeborn are the eldest in middle-earth of the lines of Olwe and Elmo respectively. olwe is older but hes the king of the teleri not specifically doriath sindar so there might be some dispute between which line the sindarin high kingship jumps to, but they very conveniently happen to already be married and so can skip all that and just be twice the headache for sauron

As excited as I am for the FnaF movie, if they don't have even just a 5 second cameo of Markiplier in it then what, pray tell, was the fucking point???

duke thru some combo of X-ray vision and just being straight up magic can see people's facial expressions even in face covering helmets/masks

people might find it disconcerting to work with say Cass, Jason, Steph, Luke Etc, but Duke finds it as natural as having a conversation barefaced

(the funniest way this would work is if he sees their faces superimposed onto their masks like we as comic readers see it)

Shaodw the hedgehog doodle thinking of that "'Shaodw! Continuous use of your super form will cause you to disappear!" quote from finalhazard again : )

I forgot Barnaby literally just adopts Jones off the street at a murder scene like he's a stray kitten.

there is something about jfj referencing the rubicon in ep 1 seemingly completely unaware of the fact caesar was marching on rome. like "crossing the rubicon" is typically used to mean crossing the point of no return to a degree that does not seem at all appropriate to the story fitzjames is telling. and in the first place that serves jfj's general characterization in the scene as somewhat self-congratulatory and vapid (said lovingly). but beyond that i do find it interesting as possibly representing a general naivety about the reality of what an empire is and what is costs. and specifically of what it costs its own.

i know i say that atsushi likes to spend his extra cash on kyouka but i also dont think kyouka lives there for "free" like she could, atsushi wouldn't mind, but i feel like it makes more sense for her to contribute since its not like atsushi's rolling in cash

maybe atsushi wouald be hesitant at a 50-50 thing becuz she's so little and he cares so much about her but i dont believe its 0-100 ya know?

we, as samgirls, do not talk about this enough. i am screaming and crying and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall and bashing my head against the wall

its the shot of the partially open door that gets me

Can we talk about The Dying Swan moment in Coda? As someone who was once a very serious ballerina, I need to talk about the Dying Swan. Here's your context --

CHAKOTAY: Harry's clarinet solo was okay. I could have done without Tuvok's reading of Vulcan poetry. But the highlight of the evening was definitely Kathryn Janeway portraying the Dying Swan. JANEWAY: I learned that dance when I was six years old. I assure you, it was the hit of the Beginning Ballet class.

Have you seen The Dying Swan? It is dramatic.

Here, take a minute:

First of all, this dance is much too advanced for a six-year-old, even if they’re doing it in demi pointe. (Six-year-olds emphatically should not be in pointe shoes btw.) The dance is almost entirely bourees and arm movements done to very subtle musical cues, not the foundational ballet moves typically taught in Beginning Ballet.

This is a very vulnerable, dramatic dance that is effective because of its subtleties. The performer would need to embody that vulnerability in some way for a convincing performance. It's short, but it's a solo piece -- all eyes on you. I mean, it was choreographed for a prima ballerina, BUT THAT'S NOT MY POINT

Can you imagine our unflappable Captain Janeway willingly getting in front of her crew to do this ballet? I get that it’s thematically relevant to the plot of Coda, but since Janeway is only vulnerable in front of her crew when it means putting herself in harm’s way, it seems like a wild decision. She tends to hold herself apart from her crew, maintaining the professional distance of the captain. Further, when she does any creative pursuit, it is almost always in private, since her sister was the artist in the family and she was the scientist. As a captain, she commands Voyager in a much different way than she would as a dancer with this piece. I'm not saying she never shows vulnerability because she definitely does, but not necessarily in this way. Then when she talks about it with Chakotay, she just casually brushes it off with a laugh like no big deal.

There’s also the question of costume – would she have gone full tutu? Done it in her Starfleet uniform? An impeccable yet flow-y white suit? She does get into costume and command a performance in Bride of Chaotica!, but Coda is still kind of early days for our captain. Arachnia aligns more with what we know about Janeway's character.

Granted, it is Chakotay laying down these complements about her dancing ability and he is clearly biased. To be fair, Neelix does too before they leave in the shuttle. If she did this dance and performed it poorly or amazingly, I feel like the crew would look at her a bit differently afterwards.

Canonically she did The Dying Swan, but I certainly have trouble picturing it happening.

Everybody tries to be straight

It's not like I seek out anti-satine content, I absolutely don't, it's just that every once in a while I'll be reading a fic or something and there will suddenly be a line thrown in out of nowhere depicting Obi Wan as genuinely contemptful and hateful of her and it's like hey. That's not obi wan at all. That's an obi wan shaped puppet of a hater who got all their facts from the fanfic telephone game. It's an incurable immersion breaker.

You know, trust is like a mirror. You can fix it if it's broke, but you can still see the crack in that motherfucker's reflection.
