Does anyone know, has adarafaelbarbas blocked me or did tumblr finally take down than poisonous bitches blog? Asking for about five hundred friends.

Why do you think SVU focuses so much on Benson? From the twitter account it seems as if they care about the other characters but every episode never focuses on anyone but Benson.

Honestly, I don’t know. Literally every single thing I read about it on Tumblr and from people I talk to are sick of it being about Benson so much and completely forgetting the rest of the characters.

It used to be SO good! Every character got at least one episode centered around them each season and it was so much more of a team than it is now. Once Elliot left it started going down and by the time Nick left, it was basically The Olivia Show with a few exceptions.

Most long-running characters leave whatever show they’re on because the actor’s think their characters have run their course and don’t want to keep going on just for the sake of going on. That happened with one character in Homicide: Life On The Streets - the show Munch was on before SVU, it even got a little shout out by Munch answering the phone for the last time saying Homicide at first - I forget which character, but one of them thought the character had run his course and wanted to be written off because he wanted the character to be remembered as the character, not a character that didn’t know when to leave. But the production/producers/fans/everyone else didn’t want him to leave, so they wrote it in that the character got a Stroke and the actor decided that was a good enough reason to stay, it brought something new to the character. Julian McMahon wanted to leave Charmed because he thought Cole had come to the end of his story, so they changed it up to make him evil again, make Phoebe go with him for a bit, make him evil and try to get Phoebe to become evil with him, all this stuff, but they still let him leave when that ended.

They don’t do that with Benson. They think they do, because they keep putting her through all this stuff, but it’s the same stuff. I think it was  @adarafaelbarbas who has a post about how it would have been amazing if Nick had the Lewis storyline and Benson had shot the boy. It would have put them both through something new. The post goes into it a lot more, but it was a really good idea and made me internally sing ‘We could have had it alllllllll’ and, let me tell you, I sound EXACTLY like Adele in my head! And that could have led to a really good, really fulfilling exit for Benson.

There’s only so much you can do with one character and making her act OOC or having her continually sexually assaulted doesn’t count as changing it up or making it interesting.

I love Mariska Hargitay and have so much respect for her. She’s an amazing actress and an amazing person. I’m not sure if it’s her or someone behind the scenes or a lot of people behind the scenes that won’t let Benson go, but it’s time. She’s an amazing character played by an amazing woman, but everything must come to end eventually and I think it’s time for Benson as a main character to end.

I wouldn’t even mind if she stayed on longer, if it went on for more five more seasons and she was in all of them, if they would just let other characters have some storylines. I shouldn’t have to play ‘guess which main character isn’t gonna be in it tonight’ for every episode, I shouldn’t have to rely solely on the fandom to get any sort of information about my favorite characters because the only thing we get is headcanons and fics made by us, I shouldn’t feel blessed every time a character besides Benson is on screen, the fandom shouldn’t be better writers than the actual, paid, professional writers.

This is probably a lot longer than you expected and I could probably go on ranting for even longer, but I’ll spare you and everyone else who stumbles upon this post from that. Basically, I don’t know why it’s all about Benson all the time, but if anyone else knows, please tell me ‘cause I’d love to know.

adarafaelbarbas replied to your post “Does anyone know if Barba is in tonight’s episode?”

Negative.

In that case, everything about the episode will be negative.

Fellow SVU addicts, help

No, never stated in canon. I believe one episode somewhat implies she is a nurse but it was never proven.

Yeah, that was the only thing I sort of got as hinted in “Popular” in season 3 (where she mentions a woman “at work” and it seemed to imply that was at a hospital). I guess she could have had another job there as well besides nursing, administrative or office/billing, too.

rockonjenny replied to your post:

I always thought she was just a stay at home mom

That was what I was waffling over (at least later on in the timeline) because, despite that one mention in “Popular” above, she seemed to be home a lot when things would happen (like “Alternate” when Dori had her at knifepoint.) 

In any event, thanks for reassuring that I wasn’t misremembering/forgetting details. I can work around whatever, just didn’t want to make a stupid goof.

SPOILER ALERT: Rafael is pregnant with Olivia's child

As long as Queen Olivia is the center of attention, NBCSVU would air it.

13, 19!

13. Are there any things that might have happened in any of your stories, but you changed them at the last minute? (So-and-so dies, they don't actually kiss, main character has long extended ballet-based dream sequence, etc.)

I usually know where things are going when I start writing (because I do a lot of “pre-draft” work in my head), but occasionally I’ve had characters surprise me. Like where I was literally writing and a character suddenly seemed to pop into my head and say, “No, I’m doing THIS instead.” And it ended up working beautifully. One specific instance I can think of was back in my Xena/Herc fandom days when I was writing my Moments of Transition series. Vaguely, I originally planned on having Character A kill the villain in the final big battle, but then Character B came up and insisted he should do it instead. And I think it made for a much more satisfying arc/development for all characters involved, even though that was not at all what I’d planned on.

19. Do you make up scenes at work/on the bus/at the gym? Who are the characters that pop up the most? Do you write them down?

All. The. Time. I am a continual day-dreamer, always keeping myself entertained with stories/scenes in my head (at least while doing menial chores, work, trying to go to sleep, etc.) That’s actually when and how most of my fic-writing brainstorming happens. And yes, if I get a specific line of dialog or description in my head that I don’t want to forget, I will drop everything (if possible) to write it down before I lose it. Not so much plotty things, but just maybe a particular sentence or two that I don’t want to lose. (I’ve even pulled over when driving to do this.)

Character ask- George Huang!

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with:  Ryan O’Halloran! I know there’s no basis in canon (nor even on-screen subtext) but ever since I wrote them once I really dig the idea of them in a happy, well-balanced relationship. (And I really want to write more about them some day.) In my head-canon Ryan never died, he just was injured and took a long time off to recuperate, and eventually George proposed before he was transferred to Oklahoma City and they lived happily ever after together. The end.

friendship them with:  I liked the prickly relationship between him and Elliot. In a way they sort of challenged each other intellectually with their differing points of view and backgrounds, much like I’ve always enjoyed about Munch & Fin. I can’t say I shipped it much (though I have written it in a very fucked up/unhappy way, which is the only way I can see it really happening.) Given the chance I think George would have been good friends with Barba as well as I think they’d have an emotional compatibility that would have been fun to see explored.

general opinions: The longer he’s been gone from SVU the more I miss him on the show, especially when there are episodes this season when it’s glaringly obvious how much he (or someone with a psychiatrist training like him) contributed and is needed now in the squad. Then again, at least Warren Leight never had that much chance to ruin his character either, so...that’s a small win, at least?
