"sex scenes have no narrative purpose" is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody
I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.
Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.
just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?
Alicent and her family have arrived at the beach. They realize after the two hour trip they have forgotten Daeron at home. They are not going back.
Rhaenyra has arrived with her family, the only food they have brought is a bag of cheetos.
Rhaenys has her granddaughters sorted already, only sunscreen left!
Daemon is moping in the ocean meanwhile.
Viserys and his least favourite daughter are having creative diferences about the sand Valyrian model. She wants to put pink seashells, he refuses. Alicent ends up scolding him.
The kids find out someone has finished all the ice-cream. Lucerys has been crying for half an hour. It was Daemon.
Helaena has found a crab she calls Herbert, no one wants to get near her. Aegon has passed out, being buried in sand as a punishment.
Rhaenyra has promised Aegon a beer if he distracts everyone while she flirts with Daemon. Viserys feels something is not right but can't figure out what. Jacaerys is just happy to be included.
The day at the beach was a success!!! No one was seriously harmed and everyone had fun.
Truly a first for the Targaryen family! ❤️
One of my favorite pastimes is imaging what Fallout would look like if it were based on the present instead of the 1950s. Here are some of my best ideas for this.
• Furry gangs. Lots of them. I haven’t fleshed this out any further because honestly? I don’t need to. Anyway you implement this into the Fallout universe will be perfect. You can’t change my mind on this.
• The Brotherhood of Steel are all weebes who think that Gundam is a historical archive. They saw pictures of the Gundam statues and thought they were real. They also worship Katy Perry’s 2015 Super Bowl Performance as they believe that video depicts a goddess descending to earth to bestow the Gundam with divine blessings.
• The Kings still exist. Nothing about them has changed. They exist in all universes and in all timelines.
• I think there would be more people cosplaying is revolutionary war figures, but I don’t think they’d be on the side of benevolently helping farmers. They’d be terrorists.
• The Tunnel Snakes would be based on the Grease cinematic works, adding Pink Ladies into their midst.
• Their would be a lot more fundamentalist cults. Like soooooo many cults.
• The Children of Atom would be “radiation truthers” convinced that radiation poisoning is a conspiracy cooked up by the shadow government to keep everyone docile.
• Goth gangs. Again, I don’t need to elaborate on this as one of the crucial flaws within the Fallout franchise is the lack of goth girls in fishnets.
I’ll add more as I remember them. Feel free to drop your own ideas below. The stupider, the better. Definitely don’t think about them, the ideas are better raw and unrefined.
Rip Ben Finn, you would have loved eating cereal at 3am.
Rip Page, you would have loved debate club.
Rip Walter Beck, you would have loved the found family trope.
Rip Jasper, you would have loved the Scrub Daddy.
Rip Reaver, you would have loved red carpets and glambots.
Rip Sparrow, you would have loved a fucking break.
Rip Theresa, you would have loved The Sims.
Rip Logan, you would have loved Lexapro.
Rip HoBW, you would have loved pop music.
watching golden girls
had a terrifying dream that drawing was a thing that people did
they definitely explored each other’s bodies
Stop me if you hate the concept: short, fat, hairy lady gets isakai'd into a high fantasy, and instead of "oh look at all these ethereal elves woe for I am but a flawed mortal" routine she lands in Dwarf territory and is immediately revered as the most enchanting and desirable maid in all the land. This immediately becomes a zesty romantic drama. Thoughts
