‘no not without you!’ and steve realizing if he didn’t save himself, bucky would die with him VS ‘im not going to fight you’ and the pieces of bucky barnes bubbling up under the surface realizing if he didn’t save himself (overcome the programming and choose his humanity), steve would die for him

Update: I’m dr clown now. It’s crazy to think that it kinda started with tumblr lmao. I certainly wouldn’t be teaching my own film & tv music class as dr clown if it wasn’t for all the batshit analysis I’ve done for bbc Sherlock. So here’s to those mfs and all of you mad folks on this hellsite hahaha cheers to us all!!! Anyway I’m (dr clown, phd) coming for you film & tv

this notion that if you're an adult still on tumblr it's bc something is wrong doesn't sit right with me... unfortunately I can't refute it bc there is something wrong with me

love calling fictional characters my best friends. theyre real. to me. you wouldn’t get it though

It's not an "abandoned" WIP, I didn't intentionally leave it in the forest to die and forget about it, it is a lost wip who wandered into the forest despite my pleas not to. I sit at the edge of the forest every day and hear it calling for help but there is nothing I can do. It is a haunting wip

i love that specific ao3 phenomenon where you get a sudden influx of kudos on a work and it’s clear someone shared your fic but you have no idea who they are or where they shared it. it’s like being a dickensian orphan receiving money from a mysterious benefactor.

Legit, getting a subscription on a fic I'd abandoned 10 years earlier spurred me into action to finish it (and write a sequel!)

Mischaracterization in fics is annoying and can sometimes make me be like “he would not say that” EXCEPT when I do it. he would say that because I am holding him at gunpoint to do so

"Not everything is about your blorbos" to you maybe. To me every other song and probably that car commercial is about them

not ignoring canon nor strictly adhering to it, but a secret third thing (taking the small bits and crumbs canon barely spent time developing and running absolutely hogwild)

Fun Fact: in one month (1/1/23), all Sherlock Holmes stories hit the public domain and the Conan Doyle Estate can't do shit! I say this for absolutely no reason but also congrats in advance to the happy couple.

The movie establishes that the phone lines to the house are down, that’s also why nobody is able to call Kevin at home. The movie also establishes that all of his neighbors are out of town which is why he couldn’t borrow their phones. The movie ALSO BEGINS by introducing the main antagonist as a “police officer” which is why Kevin doesn’t trust the cops. I’m so tired of the ignorance. The slander.

FINALLY we’ve reached the time of year for home alone discourse

#he did what he needed to do to survive. then he did a bunch of other stuff he felt like doing (via @hotcrossedfangs) 

home alone is just die hard for kids

He also stole that toothbrush so was even more scared to call the police in case they arrest him for theft too

Kevin knew that ACAB ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Keep in mind that the robbers could have turned around and left at any time. Kevin set up the traps, but they didn’t have to walk into them. They could’ve left and robbed an easier house, but didn’t because they wanted to get the 8-year-old who was beating their asses. At some point, it stopped being about stealing the McCallisters’ stuff and started being about killing Kevin, at which point Kevin was justified in doing whatever the hell he wanted to them.

Plus if he just scared them away, they would have gone to rob his neighbors’ houses (if I remember correctly the neighbors were all gone except that old man who he couldn’t go to for help because he was convinced he was a serial killer)

Not if, he did scare them away, Kevin drove off the bandits through non violent means 3 times before he resorted to traps and Rube Goldberg shit, Kevin gave them 3 chances to walk away, after that it was fair game
