I think that if you want relationships depicted in your fiction – whether primary media or fan-work – to be emotionally compelling, there's really no getting around the fact that one of the most compelling relationship dynamics in fiction is "hey, wouldn't it be fucked up if".

[prokopetz]

And I don't just mean "one of them is clearly taking advantage of the other" type relationships, either. There's a whole spectrum of upfuckery to explore, including (but not limited to):

Each of them thinks they can fix the other, but really they're just enabling each other's worst impulses

Sticking together no matter what because no matter how bad they are for each other, the terror of the unknown is worse

You're pretty sure staying in this relationship constitutes a form of wilful self-harm; for whom is genuinely unclear

They actually just straight up hate each other, but each regards the other as the only one who Gets It

They're perfectly happy together, but the way they play off of each other is harmful to literally everyone around them

2026 superwholock equivalent is Heated Rivalry, Interview With The Vampire, and somehow still Supernatural

I will never shy away from the word goon. goon is the only way to describe a particular type of henchman, lackey, or thug. look at these guys. they're goons.

Frank Oz and Jim Henson ad-lib as Fozzie and Kermit in this test footage for the first Muppet movie, and honestly it's pure gold.

[evanelleonyx]

This is a professional shitpost roleplay.

[annabellioncourt]

I’m crying becuase this is something I’ve never seen before, something original of that era of the Muppets with both Oz and Henson working on one of my favorite movies, but also becuase this is the funniest thing I have seen in mONTHS.

Look I don't think Supergirl (2026) is secretly a perfect masterpiece or anything (I personally thought it was like. a 6/10 fun time) but I do think it's wild that Tumblr isn't going crazy for it because this Kara is one coattailed suit away from being a Tumblr sexyman. she is the flawed messy female character people have supposedly been clamouring for. she's the popular archetype of a gruff self-destructive alcoholic middle-aged man begrudgingly having to look after a kid and growing fond of them but genderswapped and also 23. she's allowed to be visibly messy and kind of gross and her hair is constantly all over the place and she literally cries, screams, throws up, and pisses onscreen. she's caustic and mean and puts up an act of carelessness but has a heart of gold. she's heavily traumatised and coping with it terribly. if anything happens to her dog she will kill everyone in this room and then herself. she spends most of the movie in a trench coat and baggy band T-shirt. she gets into bar brawls and breaks a guy's hand. she is Going Through It 24/7 and looks the part. she stabs a guy in the throat. how is everyone else not obsessed with her.

i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.

shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3

Can we please, PLEASE talk about Sharon D. Clarke as Lady Bracknell? MY GOD WHAT A WOMAN. The commanding presence she emanated throughout the play. What a force of nature. She played a constantly disapproving auntie down to a pat! She will have none of this tomfoolery, thank you very much!

And when she threw it down at the curtain call, I was yelling, "YESSSS QUEEN! EAT THEM UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" at my screen.

Oh, what a privilege to watch this. Now excuse me while I go watch this again for as long as it remains up on Youtube.

[evtrained]

Incidentally it's up on Archive.org if you want a copy to have and to keep.

There are a lot of cast/crew interviews I haven’t watched yet for this production - this chat between all the women in the cast is also good and includes some of her thoughts on developing her accent - but I really liked this SDC interview back during the theatrical run:

“…we can celebrate the words. I think people have gotten very hung up on Oscar's words, do you know what I mean, and a lot of the time when the play is done it's all about the language, the language, all about the Wildean language. And Oscar was a very flamboyant man who enjoyed life and enjoyed having fun, and I think sometimes in the playing of trying to make sure that you honour the language we forget to honour the man and the fun that the man had in his life, living his life the way that he wanted to live. We are doing his play I think in a way that Oscar would have wanted it to be seen, that it is seen as a joyous celebratory thing and not this subversive thing that had to be hidden, that he went to prison for. You know, we can celebrate that now, and I think that's the other thing that we want to get across to the audience that we are having fun as a company doing this, because it's a fun play!”

YOU'RE A REGULAR WRITER! YOU CAN CRAFT A COMPLETE SENTENCE! YOU'RE A REGULAR WRITER! YOU USE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF COMMAS! YOU'RE A REGULAR WRITER! YOUR PROSE IS GOOD AND RIGHT! YOU'RE A REGULAR WRITER! EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS YOUR VISION!

[so-many-ocs]

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood

i love u frank

9/11

[furryprovocateur]

not even joking this is one of the worst possible changes that i could've reasonably conceived of to happen to video games.

[furryprovocateur]

having thought about it this is a generationally anti-consumer announcement that will have a profoundly detrimental impact on consumers and retail markets. this will price out new consumers even more than a $600 PS5 and $80 games will. this will make games less accessible and more nickel-and-dimed. this will make games impossible to share irl without giving your console up, and will stop institutions like libraries from being able to loan copies of modern games. and most importantly, it will be for a minimal profit, as most of the sales in video games are already digital.

this is such a staggeringly catastrophic piece of news that i'm shocked it wasn't said by nintendo. congrats to sony for one-upping them in anti-consumer practices.

[cutecumber-flower]

im actually so glad the stucky fandom on tumblr is still well and alive and thriving in 2026. y’all are amazing.
