Thought Dumps

I just rant about whatever I feel like that day. Main fandoms are Golden Trio/ Marauders, Merlin and F1. The ships I tend to post about are Romione, Fremione, Ginmione, Linny, Merthur, Morgwen, Merwaine. RPF is cool in fandom spaces as long as we remember that outside these spaces they are real people with real lives that we are not entitled to. Feel free to send questions or anything you might want an opinion for! I love yapping :)

Pirates of the Caribbean Byler, would Will be Elizabeth or Mike?

On one hand I want it to be Will because Elizabeth has a great journey of self discovery and independence which leads to her becoming the Pirate King and in charge of her fate.

On the other hand if I do Mike, I can have the privilege dynamic still at play, but when we introduce Davy Jones (Henry), we parallel the Davy Jones/ Will Turner with Henry/Will.

Based on that assignment I can get the Commodore, Governor, Jack Sparrow e.t.c assignments

Sometimes I hate being in fandoms because it never fails the moment I acknowledge a character that doesn’t get enough credit, someone will inevitably pop up to defend the main/popular character

For example, I made a TikTok about Jonathan. It’s the scene at the mall when that creature is in El’s leg. All I said was “Everyone talks about Babysitter Steve, but Jonathan didn’t hesitate”.

The comment: So Jonathan does one thing for the kids and suddenly he is better? Steve took care of them for like 4 seasons and also can we not use this song?

Nowhere did I say one was better than the other. Nor do I think it should be a comparison. I also think it’s insane to call it “one thing”. Are we forgetting he has been the functioning adult since before the series?

[silent-storms-posts]

Also not to shit on Steve but like he had to be dragged in every time, Jonathan jumped in as soon as there was a whiff of something wrong

[alexaafterrain]

so we remember how i’m planning a will byers never found au? well i just thought of something way better, will actually WAS found in 1983, but he got taken back at a different, VERY IMPORTANT time that im very excited to write and for you all to read

[silent-storms-posts]

Haha author I am in your walls, gently encouraging you to write so I can cry to it

George took this and turned it into hatred for Max (joke)

And Kimi took this and turned into Max’s child (joke)

mileven would’ve been a good ship if mike hadn’t kissed her in season 1, if it was a slow burn and jane got to learn who she was first, and if mike didn’t do all that gay shit with Will.

i hate that most milevens assume we hate that ship just because we like byler. we hate it because jane had no autonomy over her life when her and mike got together

[silent-storms-posts]

Like just imagining Mike and El bonding in the school scene of s1 instead of kissing, and then all of a sudden the laughter they shared turned into ‘Goodbye Mike’.

Then s2 we have the sane reunion without El leaning in to kiss, and without the Snowball kiss, instead we have Mike and El dancing together glancing at each other shyly but never catching the other.

S3 we have Mike sneaking El out from Hop’s watch, and they hang out with the Party. All of them together, but Mike and El’s hand brush each other when they are playing, or Mike puffs up when El wraps her arms around him on the bike. We have the ‘I love her’ scene, but nothing comes of it because El and Mike are separated again.

S4 the tension is there, and their argument has thinly veiled allusions to how both of them want to be with each other but feel like the other doesn’t want that. End of the season, in the pizza fridge scene Mike says ‘I love you’ and then they get together after the Piggyback.

s5 is them being a team and in love.

(And El never dies).

cleradin where (soon to be) paladin michael sneaks out with his peers to a tavern the day before their training starts to celebrate their ‘last day of freedom’. michael hasn’t actually drank a lot but can’t handle his alcohol to save his life. on their way back to the castle he starts serenading under what he believes is princess jane’s balcony but mid song, royal advisor william opens the curtains— his curtains, to look down to see what’s all the ruckus about. michael falls, in love and literally because he loses his footing and that’s the last thing william sees from him. until the next day when william shows up at the field and he could swear of all the trainees, the one in the far back, looks— and sounds— awfully familiar

[silent-storms-posts]

Ahhhhhh!! I am sooooo Cleradin pilled, I need this concept!

doing fic research and learning that most of the fandom hates Sasha (who isn't even a named character in the books lol) is my personal tumblr moment

[silent-storms-posts]

Like we’re supposed to be all considerate and understanding about Ilya’s avoidance towards Shane when Russia comes up, but what about Sasha who grew up with a similar father, who was probably heavily disappointed that his son wasn’t into sports and ‘masculine’ things.

Sasha who hasn’t seen Ilya is a while, who probably expects a dynamic with Ilya because when Ilya would get disappointed or hurt in Russia he would go to vices.

Sasha, who Svetlana trusts Ilya with, and who Ilya trusted with himself???

Like he is a cocky, arrogant twink, but he’s also a good friend

[halflitpages]

rewatched a bit of s2 and honestly it’s so easy to understand why will fell in love with mike because if someone looked at you like that, took care of you like that, and asked you how you were feeling like that, i’d fucking fall in love too

[haelie-theoncoming-storm]

Also I don’t usually go here but I’m kinda moved by lestappen today. How is it possible BOTH Max and Charles:

spun out, due to their own error (rare for either)

one on the first lap, and one on the last

NEITHER OF THEM ENDED UP IN THE WALL?!

The furry community saw his behavior and thought

‘We can fix that’

[skodasforge]

There’s something so interesting in Amy giving up the driver’s seat to Whitaker when she’s the one picking him up. On the surface level it’s very Traditional Gender Roles that Amy can drive her own truck but only if The Man isn’t there, but there’s also the subtext of Dennis’s subtle martyrdom that he’s getting off a 15 hour shift and the person picking him up is making him drive and I don’t think it’s intentional for either of the characters here but it’s interesting to see Dennis kind of slot into this traditional masculine role to his own detriment when he’s clearly pretty insecure about his masculinity at work given his awkward interactions with Ahmad and Antoine earlier in the season and with Langdon later on. It makes me wonder how much of him playing farmhouse with Amy is about affirming he can still be the person he was raised to be.

[silent-storms-posts]

That’s interesting because I saw it as them showing that this is a very common occurrence that they have a set routine.

Amy doesn’t ask or feel doubtful about what to do because this is probably not the first time she had picked him up, and Whitaker doesn’t stop or think he just immediately goes to Theo and gets in the driver’s seat.

It completes the picture of Whitaker denying any partnership but contradicting that by having a learned routine which typically people who are in a relationship have.

Hi guys I need some help!

I am writing a fic set between s3 and s4 in Lenora. Just a few disjoint events within the Byers family.

For the chapter I am currently working on I have El and Joyce have a serious conversation about her name. It’s mostly going to be El venting about her confusion and conflict with Jane vs El (the name her mother gave her, but a reminder of everything she lost vs the name she got out of kindness and with which she gained family and friends but derived from ‘Eleven’ AKA the lab).

What are some things that are essential to be included.

I have her internal conflict with losing powers, I have her not feeling normal because she isn’t caught up with everyone, and I have her lack of resources for self-exploration/expression.

Is there anything else. Or something that Joyce could do/say to really make an impact.

[imaginaryarcturus]

Yeah Langdon’s not leaving the pitt any time soon

[toastpandadraws]

Hey so you guys are aware you don't need to make up shit about a character to justify your dislike of them? You can just say you think they're annoying and leave it at that.

And if someone calls your fave annoying you can let them think that without crucifying them for it. I promise you this stranger on the internet is not a bigot because they think your fave is annoying and said fave happens to be in some minority or another.

[silent-storms-posts]

Unfortunately I fall in the very tiny minority (or maybe even the only one) of people who don’t adore Mel.

Like she’s okay, but she doesn’t intrigue me like the others, but I don’t say that normally or I’ll be called an ‘autistic people hating, ableist piece of trash, who has no empathy’ (verbatim).

[fooledforlove]

there's a certain h**ringrove/st**die trope whereby because Steve is the protagonist and Nancy's actually in love w Jonathan and not him, Jonathan just sort of exists in the background as a homewrecker. and it does make me laugh bc look at him. oh yeah that tempter, he knew what he was doing when he told her he wanted to stay at home reading instead of going out for Halloween. standing there in 15 layers of flannel like a HARLOT

byler au where el is the eleventh doctor (lmao that wasn’t even on purpose) and byler is rory and amy
