It’s all well and good if the CCOD finale wasn’t your thing but also I feel we are all forgetting something: this season was directly inspired by WWDITS. Ya know, the show that brought us “I drank the blood of some people and the people were on drugs and now I am a wizard.”? The one that had some good throughline emotional beats but was mostly Bit fuckin City? I mean Zac’s character was based on Zoolander!! Murph was a vampire who thinks he’s some sort of Batman!! THERE WAS A GHOUL HORSE NAMED GHORSE. Batchild swallowed a missile in the first episode! They wrote off multiple shit shows as “Banksy’s”!! If you wanted a serious season and got a silly one I get it. But you can’t pretend this was ever all that serious outside of Brennan’s signature capitalism and fascism sucks tropes. You can’t criticize something on criteria it never met (or really even intended to meet) in the first place.

Got into a discussion about emergency response at a professional retreat recently and everyone was going on and on about agility, and I was like, "Okay but what about contingency?"

And they were like "What?"

And I was like, "Agility isn't the ultimate form of preparedness. Contingency is. Agility still requires you to flounder and figure out a solution in the moment, but if you have a contingency plan, all you have to do is implement it."

And they were like "But you can't make contingency plans for every situation!"

And I was like, "Yeah, you basically can if you just identify all of your basic dependencies and contingency plan around the loss of any dependency," and then I gave a few examples.

And they all stared at me like I'm an alien.

Anyway, that's how I figured out I'm Batman-coded and also learned how Batman must feel talking to supposedly professional superheroes who never bothered to run disaster scenarios until I pointed out that it's insane that they don't already have a plan for if Superman turns evil.

There’s a phrase that really stuck in my head around this. It was from one of the British divers who enacted the Thai caving rescue, though I couldn’t tell you which one or which interview.

As he described to the interviewer a moment of panic and how he he overcame, the interviewer said, in one of those, summarise-last-answer-given-with-appropriate-levels-of-respect-in-order-to-proceed-to-next-question phrasing’s, “Wow, so you rose to the occasion -“

And the diver said, “No, actually people always get that exactly wrong. In an unexpected and urgent situation you don’t rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your training.”

Batchilds official list of parental figures:

1. Her stepdad-the dad who stepped up

2. Her mom who got killed by a vending machine (possibly a genie)

3. Her biodad-an albino werebat (he's the one who nutted), and the hottest man you've ever seen

4. Nancy Danderhoof-reporter at the Omaha sunday scoop; soon-to-pullitzer prize winner ("she's like the mother I never had")

5. Bigfoot-member of the coalition of cryptids, and her mentor in the art of kumite

i love that whenever someone blames darkness man for anything, murph immediately starts screaming his defenses

[baatjr-deactivated20150830]

yes teenage girls can be dramatic and wild but honestly have u ever even seen what happens when u tell a grown man ‘no’

[sluttylittlewaste]

God forbid we have characters not get along and people being suspicious and some bad faith and dubious morality in this fictional narrative about Vampires

Cody watched Mitch pretend to be a pile of trash and was bewitched body and soul. That seven foot tall monster curled into a ball on the floor and pretended to be literal garbage and Cody’s response was, “I can’t not fuck him.”

I know some people are probably upset about how off the rails that finale was but I had the best time of my life I love you d20 forever and ever

Oh my god my mutual that I have a parasocial relationship with just reblogged my post, the world is good again for a moment

Okay okay weird question for the untamed fans but I’ve been watching a lot of ‘trying to solve the central mystery of xyz show’ videos on YouTube lately and I was wondering how I would define the central mystery of the untamed?

Ofc what the final revenge is, why he was resurrected in the first place, the ‘mastermind’ behind the revenge being Nie Huaisang and the main ‘villain’ of the story being Jin guangyao.

But how would you word it in one sentence?

For example I just watched a pretty little liars version where the guy was trying to figure out ‘who is A?’

What would be the equivalent for this show for someone watching it the first time?

Loving the little nuggets of Zaeths lore Zac drops in as basically as the credits are rolling. Zaeth thinks it’s 2005, Zaeths main goal this whole time was to find a horse.

*street shot of zohran mamdani clad in nasty lil suit and hard hat* five months ago i was elected mayor of new york city. in that time, we have managed to COMPLETELY defeat the Staten Island Minotaur at no additional cost to the new york taxpayer

[kingcho]

Put this in the comments but it needs to be said here too. I am so mad D20 did unsleeping city before Mamdani was mayor. Can you fucking imagine.

lmao ppl being like “omg the coterie used ai … guess i can’t enjoy the show anymore 😢” .. wait until you find out about how they’ve done Actual Literal Murder

the point of hj and lavonte is that they r violent capitalist city dwellers learning about how life in a small town can be fulfilling .. this sort of reform does not happen over night. hj literally tried to steal a gun from the police … do we really think he has lived a life that has made him aware of how harmful ai is?? we r talking about a vampire millionaire having a psychoactive reaction to SSRIs

in awe of someone in the comments of a post being like “do you think this was an example of the coterie being evil and not the heroes?” hmmm let’s put our thinking caps on … 🤔 it’s ok to find a joke unfunny, but let’s not conflate that with d20 being technofascist or smth

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

[scribe-cas]

Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"

Your “hear me out” character cannot be Gorse the horse, that is a conventionally attractive horse
