The Best Character Of Anything Ever

A friend of ours suffered an unimaginable tragedy when his sister Amy was murdered by her ex yesterday. If you can, please consider a donation to their small Vermont farm sanctuary to give them financial breathing room to grieve and take a break from fundraising. Link to Jon speaking about it this morning.

Link to many giving options - wishlists, sponsorships, PayPal, merch, etc.

whump 101, and still my favourite trope

Fun places/times for Whumpee to collapse: Part 2

because you guys seemed to really like Part 1

In a crowd

In private, where there's no one to make sure they wake up again

At the dinner table

In a ballroom

In the middle of dancing. Does their partner catch them? Let them fall?

After resetting their own bones

In a window, after pulling themself through

On the way to their own execution

Lifting/Holding up something that could crush them and/or someone else

Holding up something that could crush Whumper....hmm

While donating blood to a blood bank

While being a blood bank...

Doing physical labor against their will

Right as they realize they've been poisoned by someone they trust

Fighting a fast-acting sedative, knowing it's no use

Leaning in to smell something but oops! it's chloroform

Accidentally sedating/poisoning themself

Coming down from a drug-induced high

Leaning against the shoulder of a stranger

since next year is 25 years of Band of Brothers, I am manifesting the deleted scenes and script release for the entire show.

NETFLIX CANCELLED SHADOW AND BONE AND NO SIX OF CROWS SPIN OFF!?!!! FUUUUCK!! I wanted to see them rescue Matthias SO FUCKING BADLY!!!! I NEEDED IT!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is why I don't trust any show on Netflix. They never finish what they stared and cancel EVERYTHING! I swear to god I'm never starting another Netflix show until it's all over and done and it's safe. Fuck this. I'm so mad.

thank you, I found the show a bit tough to get through (especially the early episodes) but like I watch for Charlie, I get Charlie

I watch Kin for the plot.

I need the evidence.

I spent like 4 hours looking for this. Pls if anyone knows how to source this footage I would be very grateful

Not that I'm still thinking about Graceland (I'm always thinking about Graceland at least a little bit) but I really am mad that they deleted the scene in the pilot where they confirm that Mike has ADHD because it explains and informs so many character choices for him, not to mention the fact that we would have gotten ADHD representation of a character who is clearly intelligent, extremely competent in the field, and taken seriously by others. A lot of time ADHD rep is only there for lazy comic relief and is reduced to "Haha I'm easily distracted hey look a squirrel!" Here we would have gotten not just a solid character, but the PROTAGONIST as good representation.

In the pilot we see Mike taking deliberate notes, fidgeting with his hand exercise tool, repeating words to memorize information, struggling to recall info under stress, being unsure of when his roommates are serious or joking, and working really hard to prove how capable he really is. He has high academic scores, because having ADHD does not mean you can't do well in school. He's clearly worked really hard to get to the place we find him in the pilot. He's set up to be a really well rounded, multifaceted individual with ADHD and then they fucking cut the scene where it's confirmed, so now we're left to pick up the pieces on our own.

I will say though I love that even though the expository scene was cut, Mike still shows a lot of signs of ADHD that come through anyway. I dont know if the writers put that in intentional or if Aaron chose to play him that way, but good job either way. I'm still upset that they cut out the deliberate representation, but what we do have isn't any less important.

speaking of america’s favorite fruit (not optional) i love applerankings.com so fucking much. absolute necessity for any real Appleheads out there

curse of having mash as your comfort show is that tbh. its not all that comforting
