Imagine Shang Qinghua just absolutely activating the Caine instinct in Shen Yuan. One wrong move and he’s hair pulling, biting, licking, spitting, every underhanded move in the book. He’s gotta get his sibling aggression out. Meanwhile Airplane, an only child, is screaming, crying “NO BITING!! STOP LICKING ME!!!” It’s attracted the attention Yue Qingyuan, who wants to cry knowing his Xiao Jiu is still in there….

⚠️BRIEF BUT NOT INDEAPTH DISCUSSION OF R WORD⚠️
Okay I just need to put this here because I cannot stop thinking about it(which is what tumblr is for so yeah).
There’s this one Captain Marvel fanfic I read that’s unfinished. I can’t for the life of me remember where I read it or the name, but it was def memorable.
Basically Cap is accused of r wording a younger female hero(who I think ACTUALLY did it to him as Billy but never said anything) so the League gets worried that he’s been touching the YJ team and throws him out. Cap hides, not transforming and staying as Billy as a manhunt for cap begins.
Constantine is the only person who knows who he is and begs him to reveal his identity, but Billy won’t do it. He’s not mad at the JL for what they did, to John’s annoyance, but he’s still traumatized(I think there’s a scene where Aquaman beats tf out of him, like I said it’s been some time).
I’m just sitting here, thinking about Cap going into hiding and Billy just growing up watching everyone who doesn’t know absolutely hate his hero persona. There are wanted posters around the world. Heroes regularly try to find him. The few times he’s mentioned by one on the news it’s with total disdain.
His sister and Freddy are completely outraged by this but Billy can’t help but be understanding. It’s not like he HAS to be understanding for him to be a morally good character. He just keeps thinking in favor of the JL. He tells them that, realistically, no one’s going to NOT believe someone when they make such claims, especially if the apparent perpetrator looks like he could throw a tank. ESPECIALLY x2 if the person who made the claim is a teenage girl.
How would Billy live his life, only being able to help from the shadows? How would magic users cope with KNOWING, but being unable to say anything because it’s the ONE time their champion has ever given them an order? How would it feel like for the JL and YJ? Believing that they did the right thing, but still feeling a gaping hole in their ranks?
They’d chant that it was right, it was right, it was right. But why does it feel so wrong?
Would the JL ever find out? Or would Billy have to gain the courage to tell them? Or would someone else entirely spill the beans, whether to use it for their own gain, or just be so completely tired of their self-sacrificial champion?
How would the JL react? How guilty would aquaman feel? How horrified would they feel when Billy starts defending them instead of asking them to step a few paces back? How would they feel if he began ostracizing himself if he went back to work with them? Not being able to look anyone in the eye?
Now you can see why I can’t stop thinking about it😅
From is probably the best horror tv show I have seen in years (personal opinion). It's intriguing and terrifying and yes, the deaths are graphic as hell (not many shows dare to show the maimed corpse of a child on their first ep, I can tell you that), but sometimes it's the little things that can be truly horrifying. Like a traumatized, innocent man (who had survived in that place longer than anybody), digging graves one after another and when asked why since nobody had died, anwering:
"I was just trying to get a head start this time"
...
If I was one of those people there and heard that, I would run for the hills.
The Townspeople: Tell us your backstory Victor.
Victor (closing his eyes for 12 minutes, opening them, exhaling long and loud): No. I gotta go.
I hate this so much. I HATE THIS SO MUCH SO THAT I WANT TO KILL MYSELF IN FRONT OF THE WRITERS JUST SO THAT THEY WILL FEEL AN OUNCE OF THE PAIN AND TRAUMA THEY LEFT ME WITH. Hyde was just like "you can go back to kelso" ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? If there is one thing, ONE THING STEVEN HYDE WOULD NEVER SAY is that. Not after how jealous he was anytime they interacted and anytime Michael made jokes and how much it angered him that she had been with Kelso first. He literally hated that and the writing made it CLEAR. I mean obviously nothing in season 8 makes sense and it's all OOC but I just wanted to point this one out.
THEY WERE GOING TO GET ENGAGED
@thestupidhelmet I can't even begin to comprehend how you must've felt watching it when it aired.

Do you know in the DC universe how Tawky tawny is either a talking tiger , a talking tiger that stands on two legs ,or just a tiger . My favorite version of him is when he’s Billy’s stuffed animal. Because I think it would makes for some really funny scenes.
imagine that the justice league had a mission were they had to protect some little kids and captain marvel comes over and gives the kids stuff animal tiger and says “ I’m going to need this back, but if anything happens, he’ll protect you” everybody watching is like “look at captain marvel his so sweet”. Then later some villain is trying to attack the kids and the stuffed animal that Captain Marvel give the kids turns into a real life tiger and it starts fighting the villain. Everybody looking and thinking “wtf”.
after the fight is over, Captain Marvel goes over to the Tiger end it talks to him before turning back into a stuffed animal.
Somebody random says “cap wtf was that” and Billy’s like “oh, this” holding up the stuffed animal “ this is Tawky Tawny He’s one of my best friends I’ve known him since I was a kid he basically taught me everything I know”.
OK but honestly, Hyde saying
when last season he explains to Jackie he uses that phrase so no one knows what he means
also further contextualizes Jackie’s excitement at those words
combined with the fact that he has an armour of ambiguity that he teaches her
and that is his signature
that he gets over in season 5 because she’s important enough for him to be decisive and direct with his emotions?
Sorry, I’m just falling in love with this ship again.
Johanna: Annie's eyes are blue?
Finnick: They're a sea green, more aquamarine than blue.
Johanna: When was the last time she smiled?
Finnick: This morning, we were talking about starfish.
Johanna: When's my birthday?
Finnick:
Johanna: When's my birthday, Finnick?
I started watching dexter and it’s genuinely wild shit. His inner monologue will be like ‘this would be considered a kind action, if I had a heart. But unfortunately, I feel nothing inside. My chest is an empty cage, with no warmth inside it’ and he’s doing some shit like saving a puppy that almost got run over or something
You know, Chloé honestly shouldn't be the way she is in the show, even with André and Audrey. Why?
Ballet.
Specifically the kind of extremely expensive top tier ballet she would be thrust into. As of Frightingale she had 8yrs of ballet. That's starting at 5-6, latest.
No high class ballet teacher will take anything from a 5-6yr old. No mayor will intimidate them. They will boot anyone they feel is slacking. Making it this long Chloé could be a bully, she could be vicious, she could be mean, but she *should* be driven, and disciplined. She should value physical precision and poise. Picking on Marinette for being clumsy flows perfectly from that, but only if we see her comparing herself favorably.
In the absence of a strong parental figure, that teacher should be an integral part of her life.
We got none of that though, because 'lol spoiled rich girl' and the story writing isn't as deliberate as they claim. The '8yrs of dance' was a throw away line made up for one episode without thought.
Going beyond her character, this helps explain a lot of the other ??? Moments and lose ends too.
