i think we all should have known Kimi was going to make himself a problem when he went and read Senna's biography at the man's own grave.

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

am I absolutely ecstatic about that little italian boy's success? oh, most definitely.

fascinating how in season one robby outright said “i wasn’t thinking about those girls, i only saw a sad boy and wanted to protect him” admitting his misogynistic biases and that he cared more about a mentally ill guy than several girls that could be murdered. and yet people are still soooo convinced he isn’t misogynistic in the slightest. just because noah wyle thinks robby isn’t biased doesn’t mean you have to think that way too. form your own thoughts with what you see on screen.

and it’s even funnier when we see fandom also care more about a mentally ill guy than several women being treated badly. one can only laugh. art imitates life and vice versa ❤️

"It's not Grey's Anatomy-"

You know what??? You're right.

Because Grey's would have at least tried to tie up all the story lines before the season ended, and if they didn't, they would have the next season start out tying up those story lines.

Jedi as serial scammers though. Every mission includes a sidequest to sabacc table for extra cash. Padawans on their first outing be like ‘but I thought the senate was funding this mission’ yes little one but they will ride our arses for every cent so let’s go fleece some rich asshole. He won’t even notice. You know how cops were invented to protect private property? Well jedi are here to protect your everything except your private property. *force tricks an atm into printing free money* that, my very young padawan, is something we call a victimless crime.

just finished bingeing NCIS: Origins, and now the idea that Gibbs met Lala and learned how to love again, and had someone who saw him so clearly, but it obviously doesn't work out for some reason, haunts me.

Lala is never mentioned in NCIS, and all of Gibbs' wives have been blonde or redheads, and there are all these jokes about him having a type. But maybe the truth of it was that he married all those blondes and redheads searching for his first wife, because he couldn't dare to try and find a woman like Lala again. Not after whatever the heartbreak was.

I need someone to write some Randy (Bernard "Randy" Randolph) from Ncis origins fics. I need to see that man broken, stuffed, and then repaired. Put him with Gibbs if you can (or want not my story, not my choice) divorce him, wipe his family from history, make it a lavender marriage or something. Please he's gorgeous and he lacks fics yet there's so much to do with him and if someone could incorporate that slutty little tank top he wears that would be fantastic (Images below for reference).

I ask this of you even though I'm a writer because I know there are people out there who write way better than me, plus I like being surprised and if I write it then I know what happens. Thank you for coming to my ted talk and thank you to those who write anything.

surely this is not why i feel like burying myself alive....

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

reblog if you would never let ai write fanfics for you

[silviastoll]

and if i said that the Pitt writers may give Abbot a love interest in the next season just to further erase Samira, would I be insane?

[silviastoll]

saw this post by webtrinsic1122 and got way too excited and had to do this (They are all healers still, just in their respective cultures):

Jedi:

Samira (Almost a Master, clashes with the council because of her "unorthodox manner" of approaching the code, thus hasn't attained it yet.)

Robby (On the council)

Whitaker (Freshly Knighted)

Ellis (Shadow, Master)

Shen (Shadow, freshly a Master)

Donny (Shadow, Knight)

Emma (Padawan)

Javadi (Senior Padawan)

Al Hashimi (Newest Council member)

Langdon (Fell but is like Quinlan, i.e healing and making an active effort to continue as a Jedi.)

Ogilvie (Senior Padawan)

Perlah (Shadow, Master)

Mandalorian:

Abbot (Post Galidraan, no longer a clan head as a result, lost his first riduur there.)

Santos (Adopted into a clan as a result of being rescued from Death Watch.)

Dana (old school clan, possibly a clan head)

Walsh (Part of Abbot's old clan, thus tension cus Galidraan and him being the clan head that lead them there)

Mccay (Bounty hunter that turned into a baar'ur after having her adik.)

Mateo (Part of Dana's clan)

Mel (Star Touched, was originally part of a small clan, but lost them in Galidraan.)

Jesse (Dana's clan)

Princess (Dana's clan.)

Kwon (Freshly graduated from her vertgoten, adopted under Abbot's house name.)

Kiara (specifically a mir'baar'ur)

[webtrinsic1122]

Keep seeing people have Abbot as a Jedi and I’m like no, this man is a Mandalorian. You know the race of people who specialize in combat medicine?

Also I just love the idea of him being a devoted Mando to the Jedi (Samira) he fell in love with, but won’t dishonor her by asking to be with him because he could never ask her to leave the Jedi order.

It's hard to not criticize Robby and this show's writing when characters who were wronged are constantly apologising to Robby after he belittles, patronizes dismisses them.

The mysoginistic undertones in his approach are not purposefully written so they are not rightfully called out.

And maybe they will never be - because if Baran saying that she trusts Robby and Samira apologizing to him taught me anything is that this character is some sort of self-insert by the writers

[superimpulsive]

imma yammer for a sec and feel free to disagree but I think the reason there's been such a switch in attitude regarding robby within the fanbase is not because of his depression but because of this specifically. In season one we are being introduced to these characters and this world, our grievances are meaningful but ultimately something we are willing to put up with as we expect each coming iteration of the show to grow in quality rather than stagnate. Despite liking robby I was infuriated with him in season 1 over the mckay and false shooter storyline as it gave me the impression we were meant to think of mckay's stance as a woman to be unreasonable and illogical. However I held out hope that with growth and attention to quality this type of writing would be improved upon rather than doubled down. Afterall they had a moment where it seemed like mckay was right for being scared and that pocket of time made me think that the conclusion was not completely out of reach. The writers had to have a level of awareness at the struggles surrounding women, more specifically young girls, and violence from their male peers. There was a spark that robby could be wrong and misguided, making me hope they just needed a nudge to embrace that concept fully in a new season. Afterall many tv shows have to present a clean first season to get approval for a second due to the powers that be within the exec room. Companies want to know your show will uphold their cultural values before they can approve of a second season. Instead, however, in season two we got consistent storylines about the overly emotional women in power who are too illogical to make decisions. Each storyline concludes with the same "robby was right" (ie. man is right) bow tied on top that clearly undermines anyone who was arguing against him. Maybe to the writers this is to show how robby is experienced and well versed, but to most this reads as a misogynistic male fantasy of always having power and control. "A man cannot be a man if he is not right, if he is not powerful and a voice of reason, and a man cannot take any disrespect to his position lying down even if it is justified". For many people who have lived within family dynamics just like this there is a strike at our freedom and hope that we feel. We are hit with a sudden sense of hopelessness and recognition that he is not a misguided ally but a patriarch who will always value his strength over community. Many people who live under patriarchy become numb to it in the sense they know the only freedom they have is within their own minds, allowing them to rebel mentally but not physically. How often do young girls grow up wishing their dad died because of the emotionally tyrannical rule he had over their family, but ultimately coming to the conclusion that that's just what they're meant to feel about men. Men are supposed to be cruel because only the cruel can see the truth without bias or judgement. Robby is another patriarchal man in this instance, he will always be right even when he is wrong because he is a man and that's what men do. we are asked to deny our emotions and doubt our judgement so we may rely on our patriarch for power. Robby has become the dad kids wish would never come home, the force we cannot fight. "This is the most painful truth of male domination, that men wield patriarchal power in daily life in ways that are awesomely life-threatening, that women and children cower in fear and various states of powerlessness, believing that the only way out of their suffering, their only hope is for men to die, for the patriarchal father not to come home. Women and female and male children, dominated by men, have wanted them dead because they believe that these men are not willing to change." - the will to change by bell hooks

Me looking at Robby after *two* talented, clever and empathetic women have had a meltdown after a shift with him and one of them is actually leaving.
