Something something about the parallelism of the first place The Doctor properly takes Rose in the TARDIS is to the end of the Earth, and the first place The Doctor properly takes Donna in the TARDIS is the very beginning of the Earth. I don't have anything smart to say about it I just think it's Neat.
#doctor who#rose tyler#donna noble#probably something about the way that he's grieving rose is fundamentally different from how he's grieving the consequences of the time war#and how with rose it's like oh uhh what if. we trauma bond <3 but with donna i think he's like no no no. i just lost someone so#now i wanna show someone the Wonders instead

also the way mihawk up and leaves the moment shanks shows up like "I agreed to fight whitebeard not akagami" biting my fist very hard Very Hard
#the thing about mihawk is that we have always seen him fight only in the first half of the manga#where the scope was smaller and no one had haki and so on#BUT we also know that he's shanks's rival and that shanks considers him his equal#but also that MIHAWK doesn't consider shanks worth his time since he lost an arm#SHANKS#ARGUABLY THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WHOLE MANGA#and he doesn't consider him worth his time!!!!! MIHAWK!!! considers SHANKS!!! BENEATH HIM!!!!#just how fucking strong is mihawk!!!!!!!#JUST!!!!!!! HOW!!!!!!!#but also just how much is he always holding back!!!! is he just playing constantly?? what was he doing in the war anyway!!#he didn't even use haki!!!! he was just there to keep his shichibukai position but what does he need that position for anyway!!!#to just live without being bothered for sure god he's so NGHH#actually he drives me insane#he's there since the beginning of the manga he fights zoro when zoro's but an ant under his boot#but that trips you!!! because he's a god in the middle of children playing pirates so you think he's one of them BUT NO#he is The Strongest Swordsman Worldwide!!! this means that he's stronger than any sword holding character we've seen until now!!!!#and he's just!!! there!!!!! in volume like!!!! ten or something????#in the middle of the shichibukai luffy goes through when he's just a kid playing??? like he belongs in the weaker side of the manga????#and then shanks shows up in the war and he's like nah I'm outta here I'm not play fighting my husband for your entertainment#like what???

THATS DON?!?
Not confirmed (yet) but I'm pretty fucking confident on this one.
A random blue eyed human speedster in purple and grey was being used as the only power source for a city sized ship and Bart just happens to be drawn to him and just happens to decide to steal a 'random piece of tech' (while staring at it like it holds the secrets of the universe) during an arc where Iris and Barry were talking about kids and their future family? That's Don.
On the left? Teenaged Don Allen from a flashback in Finish line. On the right? The mystery kid Don Allen in One Minute War.
I cannot stress enough how absolutely insane it is that this kid was powering the ship.
^ this thing is fucking gigantic and this tiny child was the only power source
That's an Allen. That's just not possible unless he's an Allen or a West. And he's not Wally's kid with those Barry-Blue eyes.
This is also their first time on Earth. And they needed the speedster kid to power the ship to get to Earth. So this isn't a random earth speedster they just picked up. They already had this kid. This kid has a story. Like, say... oh I don't know.... time travel?
Also the kid didn't get to say his name because he got cut off. And Bart was cut off from speaking when he was explaining to Max. Which you would only really do if there was a reason to hide who he is. I'm guessing it'll be the twist next issue.
Oh also also? The kid had no clue who Bart & Ace were but he knew Wally West. Sound familiar? Don and Dawn didn't know about Bart, Jenni or any speedster lore when they were kids. But they did hear about Wally. Non-stop.
No reaction to Kid Flash, Impulse or Max Mercury. Reaction to Wally West.
And I see what they did here with Wally conveniently having his cowl down (when he had it on the scene earlier). Can't have a repeat of Wally's last time meeting the twins when they immediately thought he was Barry. That'd give away the whole surprise!
Anyway yeah this is Don it's just not confirmed yet. I'm ready to die on this hill.
#Adams literally gave a whole speech in his last interview about how bart is disconnected from time#so Bart existing isn't an indication that iris will live and the twins will be born#and i was like 'uh... duh? Barts out of time? we already know that.'#but now i get it lmao. it was about Don not Bart#Adams doesn't want Don to give away that Iris is fine. he wants us to believe that Iris is dead and Don is just a lost lil remnant of#that timeline like Bart#dc#dc comics#the flash#don allen#one minute war

Hot take for the Robinwest nation
I think the scene in season 1 where she gives him the puppy eyes could have been more interesting if he did stick to his firm NO. He storms off and that’s the end of that.
But what if that was just the set up?
Cut to the Robinsons scrambling to figure out how to make it work with just John’s weight in the shuttle, and Maureen is stressed but determined in her calculations, and Judy is clearly considering going with her dad when-
Enter Don West, clad in a bright orange spacesuit, swaggering into the passenger seat of the shuttle saying, “If anyone asks, I got paid for this.”
“Don?” Maureen gasps.
“A lot,” Don carries on, settling into the co-pilot station. “And if I die up there I better get a statue. My own holiday on Alpha Centauri.”
And Maureen is smiling in disbelief and John is skeptical but at a loss, and Penny and Will are relieved. Don sees all of that but he hasn’t looked at Judy. Not yet.
Thing is he didn’t see her behind him in that room when Maureen and John tried to sell him on the idea, and he told them to send him a postcard.
He’d said no because it is his life on the line too, he likes being alive, and doing the right thing does really suck.
So he doesn’t look at Judy right now as he doesn’t know what he’s going to find behind those big brown eyes that previously beseeched him to help. The ones he couldn’t stop thinking about later.
She had looked so devastated by his refusal, so vulnerable, that he is honestly not sure risking his life is enough to get her to talk to him again.
Probably for the best.
He flipped that tanker for her and he lost the money, then they lost Evan eventually. It was all for nothing. From where he’s standing, doing things for Judy doesn’t help him in any way, and that’s a problem because he can’t seem to stop. It’s entirely irrational.
He locks eyes with her later on, after various trials of his recovery time in test launches. He’s even more sluggish with each trial but it can work. They can do it. Don can’t tell what Judy is thinking and she looks away just as quickly as he does. But one thing he knows for certain is how she looks when she’s pissed and this — is not that.
Now they’re about to leave and Don needs an excuse to be near Judy one last time. Debbie clucks beside him and Don figures if he dies up there with John, he should make sure the lucky chicken is with someone else, maybe bring them a bit of extra luck like she did for him.
“I don’t want your chicken,” Judy says, when she realizes what Don has for her.
He thought she looked almost eager when he called out for her (it was endearing, really), and the way she rolls his eye at him right now is—that’s what it is.
That’s what does it for him.
The reason he’s risking even more than he already has is not because Maureen asked or because John needs someone else in the shuttle.
“And I don’t want to hurtle through space in a tin can,” Don replied, “but here we are.”
She doesn’t seem mad at him, not anymore, and that’s good enough for him. If he goes out doing something for her, it’s good enough for him.
He’s a decent person who has been dealt a bad hand and it’s still so awkward for someone like him to admit he’s a smuggler—he never liked that word—and the thing about Judy is, when she looks at him, it’s like she can see who he actually is underneath everything.
That’s why all her appeals to his better nature always succeed. It’s how the prior caught-off guard No eventually turned into a Yes.
It’s not just his life on the line, it’s her life too, and everyone else’s lives. He wants to reaffirm that he is a better man than everyone thinks, that they are past the money.
“Bye Debbie,” Don says gently.
“Don?” Judy calls after him just as he turns to leave. Her eyes are different, almost shimmering with emotion. Doing that thing from earlier but for a different reason. “Hey, try not to die up there, okay? Make sure you fight.”
There it is. Now he knows for certain they’re back on good terms. Beneath the hefty space suit, a flutter blooms in his chest.
Judy is preparing herself for the possibility that they may never see each other again. Don gives her a smile. He wants her to remember him well.
“Do my best. See you on the other side.” He winks at her and departs, hiding his own bittersweet smile.
. . .
When the shuttle explodes as it hurtles through the atmosphere Judy lets out a scream before she even knows it, and her eyes fill with tears for her Dad and for Don, because Don didn’t want to do this. She tried so hard to convince him and she thought she failed until he came back and strapped into the copilot seat.
And now he’s gone. He’s dead because of her. How can she live with that?
. . .
But then when she hears his sweetly bruised voice through the comm, thick with emotion, her eyes fill with tears again. “Are you crying?”
“No?” Don says.
“Yes you are!” Judy laughs and cries a little too, already thinking about when she’s going to see him again.
“They’re happy tears,” John confirms.
Don is so heroic. He made it. Judy is overjoyed and she can’t wait to hear his voice his person, to see the crinkles near his eyes when his smiles begin to form.
. . .
Don shuffles a few paces behind John Robinson. He knows the family is going to be all over the man, so he figures he’ll just give them some space. Although he’s been thinking about Judy he can’t let that show in front of everyone, and so when he becomes aware of her presence, Don tries his best to maneuver around everyone and maybe go see about Debbie.
But Judy pulls away from John and comes to him. Her eyes are full of admiration and pride and relief. It’s crazy how one person can make him feel like he’s a hero among men.
“Hey Doc,” Don says, watching as her arms extend. He catches her quickly, glad to see someone is happy to see him, and not just anyone — her. “That’s right Judy, I am amazing.”
Judy laughs, her arms tightening around him, basking in his warmth. “I’m glad you’re okay,” she says softly.
“Yeah. Me too.” Don pulls back to see that something is different about Judy’s demeanor — like calling her princess might do some things to her. “You good?”
Judy nods. “Never better.”
#robinwest#don x judy#Judy Robinson#Don West#lost in space fic#Don West girlies (gn) how we feeling?#I was thinking about that scene a few days ago and was honestly going to make this only a post about an alternate take on it#genuinely don’t know why it turned into a one shot but here we are 😂#despite how much I’m screaming about Star Wars the bad batch Crosshair these two are forever in my mind and heart ok 🥹🥹#yooo also I was watching Arcane for the first time and there is a very hunky Latino guy in there who looks just like Don West#I was actually screaming and shaking because he’s just too beautiful?? his name is Jayce??#anyways robinwest forever

On your recommendation, I read How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. Holy crap.
Yes, YESSSSS. My evil plan to get people to read Heckin Good Books is working!
For those of you still on the fence about reading How I Live Now, might I just mention it has:
Complex but deeply supportive extended family dynamics.
Strong energy of that "we went to my aunt's house and I had two pastries, Mussolini no longer in power" diary entry, where the apocalypse is a background inconvenience in the characters' lives.
But also, you know how Cloverfield gives you an ant's-eye view of the end of the world, where the whole point is ordinary civilians' powerlessness in the face of the monsters? That too.
Survival horror. So much.
Discussions of mental health and trauma that are not for the faint of heart.
You thought the ash snow from Avatar was scary? My dude, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
A surprisingly soft and loving appreciation for nature, amidst the horror of industrial weaponry.
Written in reaction to the "preemptive strike" doctrines of the early 2000s, and it shows.
There aren't really villains, except for the people who allow the plot to happen to them, because the whole point is that everyone is caught up in systems far far beyond their ability to understand, much less control.
A heartbreaking amount of hope, for a story that's also about how humanity cannot possibly persist under its current circumstances.
#how i live now#meg rosoff#it's like#what is lost can never be regained#but what isn't lost can nevertheless be treasured and preserved#we can't go back to a time when it was possible to live outside of others' wars#but we can still plant flowers#we can still love each other#it's not enough#but it's not nothing

There’s an interesting parallel between Arjuna and Ekalavya that comes up towards the end of the Mahabharata. At the beginning, Ekalavya suffers a hand injury to secure Arjuna’s destiny as “the best archer.” But once Arjuna has fulfilled his major purpose in the world and larger story/Krishna leela, he too suffers a hand injury, marking the beginning of the end of his status as “the best archer” and the loss of all his famed combat ability.
During ashwamedha after the war, Arjuna follows the sacrificial horse and fights the rulers of the kingdoms it enters. Right at the beginning, an arrow pierces his hand as he’s fighting the Trigartas, and he drops his bow Gandiva for what I think is the first time ever.
This is the point at which Arjuna, like Ekalavya after cutting off his thumb, is never as good as he once was.
While he’s fighting the Saindhavas, he’s overcome by their arrows to the point where he actually freezes, becomes confused, and drops Gandiva again. It’s only the prayers of rishis that give him the power to collect himself again and fight again. Later in Manipur, he takes a very painful shot from his son that penetrates his shoulder, and then takes an arrow to the chest that pierces his armor and actually kills him. Arjuna only survives because he’s revived through the power of his naga wife Ulupi.
Arjuna would have lost the first encounter were it not for outside intervention and he literally dies in the second, again only coming back because of outside intervention. His skill is fading, but he still has to watch the sacrificial horse, so powers outside of himself (the rishis and Ulupi) step in to ensure that he can do this.
Once the sacrifice is complete and after Krishna has departed this world, that’s when Arjuna is truly no longer needed. In a massive contrast to the caliber of warrior he used to be—what his entire identity is predicated on—he’s now completely unable to protect the women of Krishna’s decimated clan as they travel away from Dwarka. He can barely lift Gandiva anymore, all its inexhaustible arrows are gone, and he’s unable to do anything effectual as bandits attack them, kidnapping women and stealing supplies.
It’s like the story is telling Arjuna—and us—that his skill is no longer needed anymore; his part to play in life as a fighter is finished. But that might be hard for Arjuna to accept; after all, he still carries the now useless Gandiva around until Agni himself appears and tells him to return it.
#I know about the curse from how Arjuna killed Bhishma and why he had to 'die'#but the fact that the death happens NOW after the war is significant#I've also never had this much sympathy for Arjuna#not even while the Pandavas were in exile did I feel so badly for him#He still had a purpose then and all of his skill as a warrior#Now? Now he's lost everything that made him *Arjuna*#and we know that his big thing was his pride in his abilities#Honestly it's no surprise that Arjuna agrees immediately when Yudhishthira says that it's time for them to go to the Himalayas....#I think Yudhishthira speaks for all of them when he makes this decision#like they've all been thinking it and know it's time#I think it's also important that this is one big decision that Yudhishthira makes by himself without outside advice/opinions#This originates entirely within himself and he finally trusts his own judgement at the end of his life.#Mahabharat#Mahabharata#Arjun#Arjuna#Ekalavya#mythology

unpopular opinion the Maya models don’t look bad at all. But at the same time the only ones that look good to me are the ones in darker clothing, with darker skin, etc etc because YOU CANT TELL THERES NO FUCKING TEXTURING!!!!!!!!!
#rwde#also mostly talking about how the Maya models looked in v4-5 and somewhat 6 because#Wow the moment they put in that really chunky shading that looks ugly. IT LOOKED UGLY#characters like ilia looked good to me. no im not saying that cuz im her bff bestie forever friendship bracelet im genuine#adams design fucking sucked but I will not lie he looked good. and he looked fucking stellar in the short with his old design.#though again. that short had bloom lighting. and bloom lighting clutches all#they made his horns look like horns! yes we lost the mask texturing in the war but also WE GAVE HIS ASS ACTUAL HORN LOOKING HORNS!!!!!#ok enough stroking the only two characters I talk about on this account.#nora looked good! she wore bright colors yes but she also had that blacker jacket.#Ruby’s design also sucked but imo i feel it translated decently into Maya!#but then we get to v7 and you can noticeably tell stuff starts looking shitty outside of the backgrounds.#They smoothed out the girls faces. Will not lie it sometimes looks like they just copied Ruby’s base four times#and only editted the busy size or height to make the girls. The shading makes stuff look bad. The bloom lighting is gone.#Obviously I’m not wanting to blame the animators or modelers as they are for sure overworked to make this.#And as A 3D animator and modeler myself I do genuinely hope these people can be treated well.#But sadly just…. the models after v7 ain’t it for me

I salivate over worldbuilding that a lot of my interests e.g mass effect dragon age whatever either never address or only do so off handedly because it's such minor things it doesn't matter to the Main overarching plot and it's something our character probably already knows so there's no point in expositing. please god make shifting real so I can read all the in-universe dry boring ass biology and history textbooks
#and ive already lost the thread of thought too but i was thinking about how the translators work earlier as well#like first contact with a new species and totally new linguistics and we're able to understand with little to no trouble#so clearly theres some manner of In real time learning of an ENTIRELY NEW language on the technology's part which is a bit nuts#+ there's so much cultural stuff we just dont see because it has nothing to do with The War or our companions and it sucks so bad#please... i need to knwo my scholarly curiosity is boundless and desperate#.txt#although to be fair i AM missing out on a bit of da stuff because i still havent read any of the novels

I do actually have a few different concepts for how I would personally rewrite IBS. The basic difference being "How far do I want to stray from canon?"
At minimum, Braham shouldn't have been done dirty and instead it should've been a contest of control. No beating him up for Problematique Writing Reasons but protecting him until he can regain control of the Destroyers so they focus on Frost Legion instead of attacking everyone.
But if I had my full way, he wouldn't have turned to Primordus like that at all, and instead would have gotten that story of being the Oathbreaker and redeeming himself as the Norn who should unite his people against their greatest threat. With Jhavi acting as a sort of representation of the Norn with how she views him changing over the story and the big deal being when she believes he can lead, showing that her view of him has gone from Oathbreaker to worthy of the title Hero of Legend through his actions.
Add in conversations with the Commander where he both expresses his feelings about his parents, and also talks about how he gets how hard our job is now that he's in a similar position. Make the false Destiny's Edge he left behind far FAR more important to the story (like have one of them be the last boss we fight before Ryland and Jormag levels important). And you've got a genuinely solid experience that doesn't trivialize characters, gives more breathing room for future stories, and doesn't add in so many plot elements we lose the focus and completely abandon the lesser developed races in favor of "now we can go to Cantha to get all our gw1 fans back yay!"
#girlbob.txt#gw2#'but how would we handle primordus when the game says without jormag we can't stop him'#1. this is a video game and the writers can change things. retcons happen all the time. the 'one weakness' thing is a retcon itself#2. that's literally an excellent story device because it puts the asura in the perfect position to explore their strengths#especially with a certain asura on our team being fundamental to changing how we perceive dragons and magic in universe#now we have a norn/charr focused story specifically about how the norn have lost so much and the charr's war culture has led to this#and then a story after that's 'jormag forced our hand and we killed them wtf do we do now that primordus is waking up'#with a focus on a massively under developed race that NEEDED real screentime to explore their fucked up parts of their culture#and really put an impact on the 'elder dragons take so much from those they exist around' aspect#since in a well written story. taimi and braham would resonate over how much both of their cultures LOST due to the dragons#the game literally doesn't address just how much was lost when the asura had to fucking abandon their homes and come to the surface#and i think it'd be interesting if the game had explored the idea that the current society#is a result of their political leaders who were the most selfish surviving the exodus#and reframing it as their intelligence and how that makes them too valuable#but now i'm getting ahead of myself

Not all who wander are lost - Gridania
Old Gridania │ Stillglade Fane │ Leatherworkers' Guild │ Westshore Pier
"First time in a big city was rather shocking for a boy who grew beneath the Shroud's trees. Hyurs, elezen, and even fellow miqo'te, just going on about their day. Living so close together. With a little push from Miounne, I made it through the first few days and got accepted to study conjury.
Stillglade Fane became another home, countless hours spent on it's calm silence, trying to hear even the faintest whisper of the elementals like our mentors had taught us. Or just reading book upon book, scroll upon scroll of past knowledge of herbs and aether.
It all seems like a lifetime away. I've since seen lands I couldn't have even imagined while still an apprentice. Seen sights only mentioned in books, made everlasting friendships. Learnt to draw upon the power in myself and others.
Offering my help to all who need it."
#ffxiv#ffxiv screenshots#neri's screens#not all who wander are lost but i sure as hell am#post 2 and i'm already cheating a little on my own rules aiuefheufh#first and 3rd pic are basically same location#one is from the bridge next to it and other from under the guild facing the bridge#also once again we finish with night pic of me going “ooh fireflies!” lol#and uhhh the lore blurb is a bit more uhhh unpolished this time sorry about that#i'm still not 100% sure how to handle the whole cnj/whm lore haha#i prefer the idea that hawu'li's healing magic comes mostly from himself rather than the elementals#how does that work? hell if i know lol#anyway as a little timeline thing! hawu'li was still an apprentice when dalamud happened#didn't go to the frontlines but pulled some of the most stressful days of his life#helping fully fledged hearers treat people when there were wounded from both the war and the calamity itself

Sometimes I think about Steven Universe Malachite discourse and like. wow, people were really killing each other over cartoons, and I witnessed it. And also picked a side.
#fitiaposting#Anyways my thoughts on it is that sometimes SU had a hard time balancing the consistency of its story with the messages it wanted to send#due to the nature of it being a children's cartoon with a very didactic narrative.#Malachite was possibly the worst example of it because at the end of the day I think it's stupid to pretend that the intention of Alone At#Sea wasn't that Jasper was supposed to be the ''abuser'' in that situation trying to manipulate her ''victim'' back into their toxic#relationship. That being said what we actually saw play out canonically was Lapis -- someone inarguably much more powerful than Jasper who#we've seen best a character Jasper LOST to with incredible ease. while nursing a cracked gem and waterbending the entirety of the Earth's#oceans at once -- imprisoning a gem out of spite and vengeance at the bottom of the ocean so she had someone to take her anger out on.#Lapis... pretty obviously had the power in that situation. Hell even admits in Alone at Sea that she enjoyed taking everything out Jasper.#The episode however give Jasper the Walking Red Flag framing you'd find in a ''how to spot an abuser'' PSA so we could have our ''Toxic#relationships are bad kids don't get back together with your shitty ex'' moment.#So it's a bit frustrating because what the writing wants you to ultimately take away from the situation kind of goes against what we all#canonically witnessed... and then it created a massive flame war between people who prioritized reading the Tone of the actual episode vs#people who cared about the consistency of what we'd actually seen depicted so far.#When I think the actual conclusion that should've been taken was ''Maybe Alone at Sea is a poorly written episode and Malachite got an#unsatisfying conclusion actually''

so desperately curious what ice & mav would think about the trend of the us military using tiktok e-girls as a recruitment tool
#the problem with writing military fanfic is that you can get lost in the weeds so quick LMFAO#like meeting recruitment quotas is definitely a top-level concern#ice: idk mav our numbers are down again this year no one knows what to do#maybe we should start another war or something#Mav: how about this let’s fund a blockbuster movie and make up an enemy for our pilots to go bomb#super cool#ice: no that won’t work because everyone will try to join the Air Force like last time#how about this; let’s tell all these lonely 18 year old boys that they can meet their dream girl at NAS Great Lakes#it would’ve worked on me#Mav: it would’ve?#ice: ok ill suggest it at our next recruitment standards meeting#and BAM government funded e-girls#alternatively#SECNAV tom kazansky circa 2021: mav can you tell me what an ‘e-girl’ is im lost#Mav: what’s tiktok am i supposed to know what that is either#You guys might have followed me for the fanfic but are coming to learn that i am genuinely insane in the tags

Low-key disappointed that after a surface search there doesn’t seem to be any fic where instead of going after the Stag, Mal and Alina head south and run away into Shu Han where it would literally be so much harder to find them and would give them a way around the Fold. Like where are my “they’re both part Shu and Alina in particular sticks out and is memorable for this so let’s go somewhere that everyone looks Shu and it will be so much harder to find us” fics?
(Ik ik neither of them probably speak Shu and in Shu Han we’re told that Grisha are experimented upon but I want to see them exploring that part of their heritage in a way that they’ve never been able to damn it! I want to see a fic where Aleksander assumes that she’s gone after the Stag but they never find it and David never tells him that they’re getting close to Alina and it’s only when they’re a week or more behind that he first gets the reports of a Shu girl and a First Army soldier heading South and rumours about how she seduced him away from his duty that the Darkling realises that they’re just running and they’re going somewhere it’s nearly impossible for him to follow)
#shadow and bone#alina starkov#malyen oretsev#the darkling#malina#Shu Han#morozova’s stag#literally running away from your problems#and also reconnecting with your lost cultural heritage at the same time#win-win#but also this could be such a good way to explore how the Shu feel about the fold and the sun summoner#since iirc we don’t really ever get told much about them in the show (maybe later in s2 but I’m still watching)#we literally just know that they’re at war with ravka and Alina’s mother was Shu#also they’re apparently a matriarchal society#and that would be so interesting to explore#low-key just really want to read this now#I do not want to write this#I have no time to write this#I could not possibly do this justice#pls if there’s anything like this fic recs pretty please
