she/they, 20s (gemini), bisexual, my ramblings + the occasional fanfic

thinking of jackieshauna where jackie cheats on jeff cause he can't get her off. shauna who's full of rage that jeff gets to show off jackie despite her cumming to shauna's name every night. shauna who wants everyone to know jackie is hers so she starts biting her harder, starts giving her hickies that take weeks to fade away, digs her nails in till blood draws every time. it gets so bad that people start pulling jackie away from jeff, start telling her she deserves better than a violent man. jeff who's confused at the sudden vitriol everyone has for him. jackie who loves the blood red on her skin, loves how shauna is the only one who doesn't treat her like a porcelain doll.

happy iron lung day to all who celebrate

if suits came out in a post heated rivalry world, it 100% would have harvey and mike end up together because it has the full package that current audiences are obsessed with: age gap yaoi (the pitt) , secret relationship (heated rivalry), and work place romance (the bear).

[thunderboltaylor]

this Suits/marvey renaissance on tiktok makes me wanna rewatch the show and actually finish it because i've almost read every fic in the fandom which means i need to write what i wanna read and for that i gotta refamiliarise myself with the characters

[thunderboltaylor]

all im going to say about the penultimate episode of the boys is that i will not be surprised if the finale next week kicks in conformitygate-esque theories for a secret last episode & whatnot. because i have very little fate in the ending actually being able to tie up so many loose ends and deliver a satisfying conclusion.

[thunderboltaylor]

told y'all (and the finale wasn't even that bad)

[assiraphales]

I deadass think steve rogers ending was character assassination and conservative rhetoric (send the progressive man back to the decade epitomes with traditional values for a white picket fence life) but it was also just cruel to steve and bucky. “oh ur just mad ur ship didn’t go canon” no im mad the friendship that was the most important thing in both of their lives was tossed aside and the audience was gaslit into believing it didn’t matter despite three films proving otherwise. steve dropped the shield twice for bucky and would have died rather than live in a world where bucky didn’t remember him. bucky broke thru 70 years of brainwashing at the sound of steve’s voice. their catchphrase was essentially “til death do we part”. the fuck

butcher reassuring hughie "i wasn't gonna stop" when he WAS because he doesn't want hughie to feel bad stop it stop it NOW

[thunderboltaylor]

the concept of 14-15 year old ryan being better experienced to take on homelander compared to 19 year old marie??

[thunderboltaylor]

i always think about how everyone who voted bucky as Congressman needed to like him more than JFK. do you know how hard that is? i once heard contrapoints say that jfk was americas's dead wife montage and that honestly checks out. everyone loves that man and the amount of historical "what if" fiction produced both around him surviving and around his assassination is tremendous. to be liked more than dead wife jfk is a feat and it makes so much sense that it was James Buchanan Barnes who achieved that.

I genuinely do not understand this obsessive need to turn Soldier Boy into some tragic little meow meow dark traumatized blorbo with a broken heart. There was literally no need for it. Homelander is the fan favorite and he is a genuinely horrifying psychotic piece of shit with basically zero redeeming qualities and people are still massively invested in him. That alone proves you do not need to woobify or justify a villain for audiences to care about them.

Which is why this entire character rewrite for Vought Rising annoys the absolute fuck out of me. Especially combined with the fact that they’ve basically turned the final season of The Boys into one giant promo campaign for the prequel while pushing the actual main cast to the side in favour of random characters nobody gives a shit about yet.

This season should have been about Butcher and Homelander. It should have given us more Starlight as an actual political and social leader. It should have treated Kimiko with basic dignity instead of giving her some of the worst dialogue imaginable. It should have properly dealt with the Butcher/Ryan conflict and the Homelander/Ryan conflict. It should have focused on the emotional and narrative threads the show has been building for years. Instead what do we get? A-Train killed off immediately so he stops taking screentime away from Soldier Boy. Half-hour-long Supernatural references that add basically nothing and could have been spent developing literally any other storyline people actually care about. Random people walking in and out of scenes because they’ll apparently matter in Vought Rising as if I’m supposed to care about this prequel. Eighty fucking mentions of Clara Vought per episode to the point it becomes genuinely unbearable. Meanwhile Ashley and Sage show up for two seconds an episode just to say some nonsense and disappear again, The Deep’s entire script consists of saying “bro” fifty times, bye bye Black Noir, and all of this for what exactly? So we can completely rewrite Soldier Boy and pretend season 3 never established him as an abusive narcissistic asshole? So we can humanize fucking Stormfront of all people even though she was insufferable from the start?

At this point it honestly feels disrespectful not just to the audience but to the actual main cast too. The final season of your flagship show should not feel like an ad break for another series.

[thunderboltaylor]

this may be unpopular but my real gripe with season five is that i am enjoying most parts of each episode UNTIL i remember there's only eight and that this is the final season. i enjoy these episodes in vacuums, with honestly some pretty great storylines in each, but i can't revel in those the second im reminded this is the end

[thunderboltaylor]

[thunderboltaylor]

why did i see someone say michael got timothee's oscar and then defend their mbj bashing by saying "you know who else plays twins? dove cameron in liv and maddie" ?????? people say anything on twitter

[assiraphales]

steve rogers was told by his old love interest that she lived her life, now it’s time for him to live his and when natasha asked him what he’s looking for in a partner, he says someone with shared life experience. we then promptly meet the winter soldier/bucky barnes who breaks thru of 70 years of memory loss and programming bc of his love for steve (the one face hydra could never take from him). we also find out that their catchphrase is ‘til the end of the line aka til death do we part.

but no no you’re right we all definitely read way to far into it

[thunderboltaylor]

don’t know how to say this without feeling a weight in my chest.

We lost our home, our safety, and the life we once knew 🏠💔

Since then, every day has felt uncertain, like we’re trying to stand on something that could fall apart at any moment.

I’m still holding on to my dream of continuing my education, and at the same time trying to be strong for my family… but the truth is, it’s getting harder.

This campaign is not about comfort.

It’s about stability, dignity, and simply being able to breathe without constant fear 🤍

We are trying to reach £2,500, and we’re close… but not there yet.

This last step feels the hardest.

If you’re reading this, please don’t pass us by.

Even the smallest support can help us reach this point and keep going 🙏

Your kindness could truly make the difference for us 🤍

yikes did not realise who sent me those asks!! my fault for not checking out an account before answering asks. no zionists wekcome here!!

[thunderboltaylor]

soldier boy x bombsight fight had me thinking that for a show that tries so hard to not play into stereotypes, they sure have A LOT of homoerotic mlm relationships where every guy involved is straight. if we're making fun of superhero tropes why not make one of the rivalries canon gay? it's literally one of the biggest pitfalls of most supe franchises and kripke has made himself comfortable in that fall. all i wanted from season five was to give me a stucky or superlex parody.
