#when he got scammed :(((((((((((((((((
Text
HC: Baby Tim made people sign contracts whenever they promised him something. He never grew out of that habit, and he will use it for even the most ridiculous agreements.
He's even taken some of his family members to court over it.
#dc comics#dc universe#tim drake#unhinged tim drake#tim drake reads law books and has read all the textbooks he could get his hands on about contracts#he holes himself up in his room for weeks when a new contract textbook drops#he likes finding all of the loopholes and utilizing them viciously#lex luthor has to personally look over every single WE contract now (he got scammed out of all his printer paper the last time he didn't)

A COMPREHENSIVE & AUTHENTIC UHURA LOVE/HISTORY POST
The above is where Roddenberry 1st employed Nichelle Nichols [click to watch the full clip]. It was a military show based on Roddenberry's own experiences, the episode is called To Set it Right (I highly suggest reading the wiki article about it).
You should note two other actors, whom he later pegged for Star Trek are in the episode.
They dated briefly and then became good friends way before Trek came about.
Miss Nichols was already an accomplished singer and dancer who performed regularly w/ Billy Eckstine and Duke Ellington
Roddenberry's 1st show, The Lieutenant, was canceled/pulled from the air before these scenes bluntly dealing with racism could air (there's blackface as punishment for the racists at the end of the show, in a case of 'he 'a little confused but got the spirit' for the times, so tw)
He created Star Trek to try to soften the blow of all the social messaging he wanted to insert from his military experience. Star Trek was basically, a submarine drama placed in a sci-fi setting. He made it diverse on purpose because the military helped him travel and serve with all kinds of people. Roddenberry was inspired by that.
Uhura was the first person to read for Spock and in fact, helped to shape the character with her reading and based many of the traits of Uhura (formerly Uhuru) on Spock.
She was basically a glorified secretary. She played the part with poise, joy, and the 60's style womanism she got to play out for those times... Everything from her mini-skirt (which Nichelle herself called very comfortable) to her smile, and teasing lines, and quips were about her playing "big" in a small role. She made every moment, every look, every line, and movement count:
Roddenberry cracked jokes about the fact that the network never figured out that Uhura was fourth in command.
Nichelle was the only main cast member who was not salaried. She was paid by the hour. This attempt at marginalization actually resulted in her being the highest paid at times, because of the long hours.
Nichelle was not let in the front entrance at times, her fan-mail was kept from her, and she grew frustrated with the constant cutting of her scenes, lines and storylines. This is why she justifiably attempted to leave. The bigots in production did not like her being there (and if we're being real, were it not for Janice Rand's actress Grace Lee Whitney having gone through so much and thus losing her job in the 1st season...Uhura might have had even LESS presence)
The lost context in MLK convincing her to stay was that YES she was minimized and could make more money and be more fulfilled on broadway, but her symbolism and presence meant so much at a time when Black women weren't on TV unless as a racist caricature cleaning a house, and even that was rare...that she stayed.
One of her best allies was DeForest Kelly, who threatened to quit if they fired Nichelle. George Takei was her absolute best friend on the show and in life (she served as his Best Woman at his wedding).
There was an unfilmed episode in which Uhura and Deforest would have played reverse roles in "racial dynamics" on a planet they visit
Spock and Uhura were originally supposed to kiss in the alien mind control episode, but Shatner demanded to do so for the publiicity.
Her work to recruit marginalized people as astronauts, as in personally going to colleges and talking to candidates after the show is a staggering achievement that arguably is the most potent of any castmember in any of the Trek series post-show. Sally Ride, Guy Bluford (she personally recruited the 1st woman and 1st black astronaut), Mae Jemison (the 1st black woman credits her for inspiring her to become an astronaut).
Uhura did finally command the ship in the animated series. She would not have gotten to voice the role, but for Leonard Nimoy making it an obligation that all the original actors voice their parts for him to come on.
Scotty and Uhura in the film was definitely a pair the spares situation, in which both were the leftover senior citizens with the writers just going "why not?"
it was beyond insulting and she did protest about the scene where she's bumbling through a giant translation book to speak to klingons for laughs in trek 5 ...but her best moment IMO is her pulling a gun on the young ensign in the transporter room in Trek 3...sadly her ONLY scene in the damn movie.
Miss Saldana got to play to MANY corrections in JJ Abrams rebooted Trek, from being amazing at languages to having an actual life & love, to confidently turning down Kirk at every turn.
FUN FACT!! Both JJ and Bob Orci both expressed disappointed shock that the love story between Spock & Uhura got more hatred from fans than BLOWING UP PLANET VULCAN.
another FUN FACT!! The love story between Spock & Uhura is what grabbed the old school Star Wars fan (JJ Abrams) enough to come aboard to direct. Yep. JJ ships Spock & Uhura.
Zoe's iteration became the 1st version of Uhura to speak confidently in Klingon
Celia Rose Gooding becoming Uhura brings around a lot of Uhura's qualities full circle, IMO. As she is also from theatre (like Nichelle) and has a beautiful singing voice as well as the charm. Zoe's iteration was sharper, and much more protective, professional, & mature, about her life and love.
Celia Rose has the youthful curiousity and stars in her eyes and had vulnerability from her first intro... I loved the eagerness the crew showed to being in her orbit, seeing the glow of her talent and being drawn to that, to have a part in nurturing that.
As I've said... Celia IMO has the most dazzling smile, giant warm brown eyes, fantastic curves, and an energy that feels essentially Uhura, & that is all light, joy, a bit of uncertainty, -from the light singing (!) and the growth to her joy in discovery... I'd love to see her writing move away from serving and be more about her wants needs and growing in friendships/loves.
But Celia is a gift and is perfectly cast.
Essentially Uhura = femininity, graceful carriage, gorgeous smile, excellence in engineering and translation (canon!), ability to sing and play the Vulcan lyre, sharp womanist wit, love for her U.S. of African-Kenyan culture and being beloved by all crew...
When Miss Celia hummed those gorgeous notes to the alien entity on that comet?? That Solidified that she IS Uhura IMO.
I 100% think they fucked up by killing Hemmer, because that mentor-mentee relationship was giving marginalized coming together and bonding over everybody else's bullshit and I was here for it...it was giving me Data and Geordi updated...and since then, IMO they've lost track and given us the same kinda backwards wingwoman role BS, that people who like to pretend to be her fan shoehorn her into.
...but I have high hopes that they'll course-correct.
All this to say ALL OF THE ABOVE is Uhura and anyone calling her ugly, bossy, pushy, annoying, whatever is just sad little hater who doesn't know wtf they are talking about.
#uhura#celia rose gooding#zoe saldana#nichelle nichols#nyota uhura#star trek#star trek 2009#st: snw#star trek: strange new worlds#star trek strange new worlds#strange new worlds#meta#anti-misogynoir#see how easy it is to talk up Uhura w/o pretending the only reason she's allowed to be is to get two dudes together?#see how easy it is to post something about who she is beyond a photo and just claiming she's your fave?#Youtube#another tidbit is that my man karl urban who gave the most direct and authentic playing of his reiteration IMO...#IS a true trekkie who spoke up for canon moments Spock and Uhura share in TOS when they got questions about Spock/Uhura in the reboot#p.s. yall got scammed by the gofundme for nichelle#her son moved her to new mexico and sold her house out from under the grifter because he was squatting there#yall just gave that fanclub lady free money#fanclub lady was making her work and sign autographs through dementia for the grift too#note yall aint see where 70k went since her passing have you?#sadly

Both "all the companion intros really happened" and "Varric made them up for flair" are great, but consider: all of them were Really Like That except Varric's; his he made up because the irl one was boring and normal as hell
#finally got to play a bit again woo#prologue done 🎉🎉#but ye#i imagine it as varric literally just pulling hawke aside after they tried to convince bartrand to let them in#also i am convinced that he full on intended to scam them lol#like not directly maybe but he is for sure making the deal sound way better than it is#he is nothing if not a talker and he knows an opportunity when he sees it#laya plays dragon age#da2

idk why everyone's freaking out about hermie. like yeah the initial (retconned) reason he joined their group was to get the costume, but like. they became friends. they all care about each other. hermie found out this life-changing fact about his family history. he cared about the kids. then he found out about how to get to the goofs realm, to pull a heart-breaking scam and he thought of the whole reason he started it in the first place. its a scam. the whole point is to make them believe he's betraying them. but he's actually helping them get to the goofs realm. i will not stand for this hermie slander
#dndads#hermie the unworthy#or should i say#herman unworthy#dndads spoilers#dndads season 2 spoilers#.#anyway yeah hermie having depth and layers and going through with this to help his friends is real and valid#i know its established that he's a good actor but like. he burned his body for this. hes died multiple times#he got mad when normal kissed a dream version of him and not real him. he cares about his friends#he followed through the scam to help them. i just really hope they all see that and dont abandon him (again)

Kinda self indulgent Headcannon but Kozue would play animal jam a lot. I think she'd get a lot of girls there with her spike collar swag
#i was thinking she could be the type of child who pretended to be a boy to “date” girls yk#but i think she wouldnt mind pretending to be any gender#she doesnt care about gender at all#her entire friend list would be almost just girlfriends and boyfriends she doesnt care about at all#i think she could like that wild life roleplays too#also. miki played too when they were younger but he stopped when he got scammed#and Kozue would be always tormenting the scammer like trying to hack them or just annoying them forever as revenge#idk. just as shiori is a girlblogger. kozue is the animal jam player of ohtori#i think she would really like pokemon too. and watch like those memes and animations about them#i think anthy would really like animal jam too also i just thought#she would be saying all those fun facts abt animals to utena#utena really likes it and wonders where she learns so much#rgu#sku#kozue kaoru#kaoru kozue

so i’ve been watching jojo’s bizarre adventure and i think i’ve figured out the source of all their powers
#this media analysis shit is easy#anyway fuckin love part 4#like josuke is so Deeply fifteen in a way none of the other jojos are ever portrayed and it’s done so WELL#bc he’s not relatable at all! and i kinda love it!!#he’s genuinely self-possessed and confident enough that you really believe he would dress and present himself like that#and he’s easily grossed out but in a way where it makes his meticulously maintained appearance seem plausible but without making it his#Only Personality Trait for an easy running joke#and he’s got a realistic still-developing sense of right and wrong#but he’s a lil impulsive and greedy and you can tell when he’s encountering a new thing he hasn’t developed a moral framework for yet!#like he finds out aliens are real and immediately tries to use this knowledge to scam rohan#bc rohan is rich and they don’t get along and he doesn’t have spending money bc his mom put his lottery winnings in a locked account#bc he’s a kid!!! idk it just fucking rules the characterization is so unreasonably good in this season#the animation and visual presentation of part four is also especially cool it’s just good shit all around#i never thought i would be recommending any part of jjba for its mastery of facial expressions and body language but here we are#mumbling

Normal peppino: Oh, I-a really don't want to-a fight, I have a business to-a run!
Pony peppino:
KILL MAIM BURN
LMAO
to be fair though i think both of them are both of these. idealy they don't want to fight people because they have a business to run, but push come to shove, if their business is threatened they WILL kill for it
in this essay this will serve as the basis as for why pony peppino absolutely despises the flim flam brothers
#ask#text#twogaydemons#looks left looks right#welcome to the tags i'm gonna ramble a little#i feel like if PT happened in MLP it would generally be the same for the most part#like i can imagine a fuckin tower made of pizza in the MLP universe you can't tell me that wouldn't happen#nobody really knows how the tower got there in both universes BUT i can see it being magic either way#magic in the human world and magic in the pony world#to elaborate though on my flim flam brother hate claim#most ponies are gullible as shit when it comes to those brothers right#i feel like there's some ponies and creatures who can spot a scam and business scheme from a mile away#peppino is one of those#granted the brothers now have like a casino so they're doing just fine thanks to capitalism but#i can still see them trying other schemes to rake in more cash and fame#but the moment they try anything pizza related peppino is going for the throat#he DESPISES them they're everything he hates#it's like how applejack hates them because they're not authentic and genuine with their practice#when they made cider for example it was more efficient but it wasn't genuine. it was just business#when the cider shit happened in ponyville i don't doubt some rumors and talks spread about it around equestria#and i can imagine him overhearing and as such just. keeping an eye on them. in case they try to go for him#that's why i think he'd beat the shit out of them the MOMENT he sees a perfect chance#ONLY IF THEY TRY ANYTHING THOUGH. if they leave him alone he'll leave them alone

I love how Bob said that the difference between Jimmy and Saul wasn't conning and fast talking. That's all Jimmy, he says, he's been doing that since he was a kid. The difference is that Saul is when he became completely aware of all the consequences and decided not to care.
#better call saul#jimmy mcgill#saul goodman#i think its very interesting bc no scams isnt his lesson#in fact he kinda scams his way to redemption in the most earnest and genuine way imaginable#i just loved that bc i think it really genuinely puts the character in a different perspective#bc hes the same guy. hes flashy and obnoxious and can talk anybody out of anything and that is not the difference between saul and jimmy#kim isnt still on the dark side bc she uses her bar card to get into the prison#jimmys lesson is to look the people you hurt in the eyes and make amends.#his skills are his own but what he chooses to do with them and how he responds to that is whats important#my jimmy....#i love him#he said it on the podcast and it made me so happy bc the writers seemed surprised too#same when rhea got mad when vince said that kim was mad when ppl tell her jimmys not good for her#rhea was like kims a grown ass woman capable of making her own choices and shes not internally conflicted that other people might be right#nobody needs to save her bc she obviously knows her own relationship better than anybody and she doesnt need ppl telling her whats best#anyway i love them a lot.

#i am simply sick of living in this house#im sick of it#we've been physically abused for years and hes only gotten more controlling#multigenerational houses are great when they work but jfc#he wont even let mom use her own car#he makes awful financial decisions and gets mad at us for pointing out scams#i WISH we had the money to leave or at least turn the heat back on because ofc he fucked up again#hes been sending gift cards to fan pages and random numbers and he tried to force mom to give her info away#he got his bank account shut down and refuses to listen to anyone#he blames us when we block and delete them and says they were going to give us money#im so ashamed of him its not even funny
