reblog place

Fill in the blank! It can be anything you like, but there are (imaginary) bonus points for it being something you haven't said thanks for yet, whether that be because it happened today, or because you keep forgetting it in your prayers.

I'll start! I'm thankful for my neighbour getting home from hospital, and for all the time I've been able to spend with his dog whilst he was getting better <3

I'm going to turn this into a tag game, but you can tag anyone you like, no limits, and if you're not tagged but see it anyway you're still more than welcome to reblog or comment with your answer!

I'm thankful that little peanut is still making me feel sick. That way I know that they're still in there and they're okay. And thankful for the friends both IRL and online who have been checking in on me. <3

Also. Very thankful for my husband for putting up with my shenanigans as we navigate this journey of pregnancy together.

I'm thankful for so many things hmmm, right now I'm thankful for the AC 😂 it's really hot ajshjaja.

Ummmm, I'm thankful for my chickens getting friendly and also how close we are to having the pool set up!

The worst crime of tadc was those dragging therapy-speak scenes. They were annoying every time they appeared in earlier episodes, but it really showed how bad the writing was when their finale's resolution relied on it.

You can write a heart-to-heart without it being boring and fake-sounding. You can share your message without the characters giving advice like they all just read an article about healthy communication. The only time these conversations were a meaningful clash of viewpoints was when Jax was involved because he was the only character the writers would allow to act mean or contrary!

Caine was immune because he was so aloof and unaware. If a character tried talking to him with this style of conversation, it would slide off him like water on a duck. So when the end of your finale takes this socially inept fool and makes him say EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING in his attempt to apologize- it's not satisfying! It's DEFINITELY not realistic! It's boring! It also kind of feels like 'Hey- do you struggle to connect with others? Don't!'

Why in the world did they make Pomni deal with the Jax situation and THEN bring Caine into the episode?! Why not have Jax abstract and nobody has any clue what to do, but Pomni is sure she can get through to him. Then Caine appears and he offers to help. Instead of Caine completing his character arc in the void, let him do most of his pondering and discover the human identities, but still struggle with his need for control and he doesn't want to admit it was his fault.

So Caine tries to prove himself by helping Pomni with Jax, but he has to do it according to her rules to earn her trust. He argues and is incredibly difficult, but he's trying. Things reach a boiling point, they have a fight, everyone is hopeless, Jax attacks, Pomni lures him into the dark, does the hug, cue Jax stuff. Caine is trying to help and he's the one who accidentally boots Pomni out of the Jax-world. Jax rampages and Caine is certain he can fix him. He tries and Pomni sees Jax start breaking down, like Caine is accidentally destroying him. So she has this heart to heart with Caine about how you can't 'fix' people and sometimes the best way to help them is to stop pushing. You can't control everything.

She gets through to Caine, they get Jax into a blanket fort, Caine is now mostly chill with the group and he's like 'now that we're friends, I can show you what I found' and the ending happens like normal.

My version has issues, but the original just had no meaningful conflict. Characters being sad and going through terrible events is NOT conflict! A character walking through someone's mind and watching them explain their trauma until they unlock the key to deeper parts of then is NOT meaningful conflict- it's an info dump! Pomni did nothing to convince Jax to show her each scene in Jax-land. She just sat there and listened to him talk- which I GUESS could be the message, but it's a pretty boring one to watch in your SERIES FINALE!!! There should have been things happening constantly to push Pomni out of Jax's mind and she finds ways to avoid them using what she's learned about Jax to prove that- yeah- they were ACTUAL FRIENDS! Where is the scene where loony-toons Jax tries painting holes and doors to shove pomni out of and she uses his fear of corn to scare him off? Where's the scene where snarky maid Jax and Pomni get into a shoot-out and she already knows his tricks? Where's the scene where the final Jax refuses to let her in and shows no emotion until she finally proves she KNOWS him! THAT'S when you use your dumb therapy-speak! All the 'yada-yada-yada' solving problems through the show and yet you can't use it to solve your climax?! Not that they even let Jax be the climax. They finish him off and then go out with a whimper on the Caine stuff. Because the villain having an arc ALONE is WAYYYY more interesting than the resolution of a complicated friendship (sarcasm is sarcastic)

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

I have a lot of bridge in my feet, I walk silly and I'm not a good athlete for that lol

And tag your mutuals!

i own 5 hawaiian shirts!!! they’re sooo comfy to wear….

my icebreaker words for wordle are "piano" followed by "quest"

i have a habit of leaning on anyone that is near me

hanging out with my friends and i get bored? head on my friend's shoulder

wanna annoy my mom? head on her shoulder

if im comfortable with you YOU ARE GETTING MY HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDER

Hmmm I’ve noticed I have a habit of pointing my head towards the person I trust less when sitting down/baring my neck at the person I trust more.

I’m also currently in a wrist brace on my dominant hand :-:

I have a tattoo of Percy Jackson’s trident on my leg. I’m very proud of it bc it’s awesome and I really want more! Also, I’ve been working on my drawing skills so I can visualize scenes better and I think my drawing style is getting better!!

My music tastes would allow me to have Slick Rick, Anne-Marie, Disturbed, Louis Armstrong, Chris Stapleton, and Chopin in the same playlist and I'd happily dance to each song/piece.

Open tags!

I.... I have cosplayed as an MHA character at GalaxyCon before... not telling who (not a girl lmao)

@confused-93 @riven-wanders @t0mmmy

i have cosplayed as a dsmp character…(ik ik)

I’ve been doing gymnastics for ten years now!

It also helps me actually drink the water since I have to ta get the ice out

Thought of this because I currently have a glass of ice with water next to me!

I got a Dr Pepper Creamy Coconut cowboy hat from the Country Music Festival yesterday! I drove all the way down from where I live in the Midwest despite not really being a huge fan of country music haha (I am however a huge fan of Dr Pepper lol)

I'm the only person in both of my families, and for some of my friends that has never needed braces

🤷‍♀️

I unconsciously walk on my tiptoes a lot, almost like if a Barbie doll was sentient lol. Apparently it’s a thing in my family

Hmmm I feel like I don't really have many interesting facts about me lol. Ummm I have 11 siblings andhsjka

Um, I'm obsessed with chickens, in most circumstances I'll pick cuddleing a chicken over anything else.

And in case anyone was wondering

the closest thing to real soulmates you can find

we fought in the same trenches and have a warrior's bond that carries over into every stage of life

friend i sit next to in every class and pass notes to/whisper to constantly

academic peer/colleague that i respect and have a little intellectual crush on

neighbour in the same apartment block that i say hi to on the stairs

neighbour across the street who i wave at every morning and evening

we're regulars at the same bar

If you were a video game character, what do you think your idle animation would be?

I think mine would be spinning around in circles or doing a silly little dance.

Or bouncing my head and shoulders in a little dance to the soundtrack

Hmm maybe fiddling with my hands? Or with my hair?

Um, maybe like shift my weight? I don't know...

Actually now that I think of it it greatly depends on what kind of game it is, like a fighting (smash Bros for example) definitely shift my weight, maybe in a way that almost looks like I'm dancing. But like a more open style game, (like the legend of Zelda Spyro) I'd probably look around maybe fidget or readjust something?

Honestly Idk.

These are more focused on the background stuff rather than the usual "what would the character do in XY situation" kinds of asks. I've been looking for something like this for quite a while and in the end decided to make my own. Feel free to use, go wild, enjoy

What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

How long was the process before the character reached its final version? (or a version that would be clearly recognizable as the character?)

What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

And reverse, which one of the four things did you struggle with the most?

How did you choose their name and why? Was it simply based on vibes or is there any specific meaning behind the name? Are the reasons behind their name different in- and out of universe?

What was the thought process behind their appearance? Did you go mostly for the aesthetic or are there other reasons they look the way they do?

What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

What is the origin of their personality? And let's be honest - how much of it is projecting?

How big is their role in the story? Do they make a frequent appearance or are they a character with little "screentime" but big influence? Or are they just a favourite background guy?

What is their main character arc in the story? Where do they start and how do they develop? Do they get a happy ending or is their story a tragic one?

Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?

Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

Have you ever made a moodboard for them?

Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

Are there any motifs or symbols associated with the character? How are they represented, in their design, personality or in some other way?

Does the character have other characters connected to them? Do you have a family tree and "offscreen" connections made up for them or do they exist in a vacuum purely for the purpose of the story?
