Your gateway to endless inspiration
So I just finished watching inside man (the one by Steven Moffat) and I have been reading all the reviews of it on here and on other sites.
and I honestly loved it (mostly because of the actors but still), the suspense was pretty great, acting was terrific, plot was decent, relatively likeable (and if not, at least semi relatable) characters.
the one thing though is that I found, which lots of people seem to disagree with, is the way that Mary Watling and Harry Watling were portrayed throughout the whole ordeal and how they were shown to deal with their emotions. I found it incredible
the way that Mary reacted; trying to find a sense of normalcy in a situation that was the opposite of normal, keeping what seemed like a calm exterior to try and keep them all from imploding with everything going on. The occasional emotional explosions when she couldn’t take it anymore.
I found it to be a very true show of what extenuating circumstances can do to someone (ie. having your sons math tutor locked in your cellar because she thinks your son is a p3d0) and the lengths people will take to have some kind of control over their lives (doing normal things to alleviate guilt and terror)
The same goes with Harry Watling (aka the vicar), though his is shown more as a delayed reaction.
it’s almost as if he doesn’t truly realize what he’s done and what’s happening, or atleast he’s ignoring it pretty damn well. He doesn’t try to keep it normal (he knows it’s nowhere near normal) or keep peace so to speak; more than anything he just shuts down.
he barely speaks with anyone and when he does he shuts them out just as quickly. Using his title as vicar as moral high ground, saying “I couldn’t have done this, I’m too good for that”, using it as a shield against the reality of the situation. And comforting others (mostly), to again show the moral high ground that he has claimed.
It shows a different approach people can sometimes take when dealing with such things (though similar to the other ways); which can lead to people entirely shutting down and avoiding the world to try and alleviate guilt (and any other emotions they may be feeling), leading to lashing out at anyone who tries to help (no matter how misguided).
No one in this show is truly a good person, but they are still people and people will react in a million different ways to different scenarios.

y’all ever see a piece of fan content about your favorite character that is so horrifically different from what you personally believe and you just
(HBO) Max taking most, if not all, of the direct-to-video 2000s Scooby Doo movies off of their service is probably the first time I’ve cried over the choices made by a streaming service.
I JUST WANT TO WATCH ABRACADABRA-DOO. OR STAGE FRIGHT. OR MUSIC OF THE VAMPIRE. OR LEGEND OF THE PHANTOSAUR.
GIVE ME MY SCOOBY.
(On another note, they did add A LOT of the old shows, INCLUDING A PUP NAMED SCOOBY DOO, so pluses and minuses I suppose.)
Let them go; let yourself heal. You’ll be okay, always have been, and always will be.
I looked at the news for 20 minutes and I feel like I died and was reanimated by lightning
what’s like an ambitious fic idea you have? Or idk favorite au to write/read?
there's sooo many big fics I want to write but idk if I can handle all that 😔 so I stick to oneshots and short fics (like six chapters max for me tbh, I have commitment issues)
So smth ambitious for me uhh
That might be my WIP "stole my heart" which is a thief Atsushi x detective Akutagawa longfic set in 1920s America. I've written little for it but it's huge in my head, I'd say it's ambitious because I'm writing like a whole mystery plot to it (Poe pls help me) but it's also gotta incorporate lots of romance 😔
There'd be a lot of miscommunication and pining and probably smut and lots of angst and moral dilemma and ofc m u r d e r because even though Atsushi is just a thief in this doesn't mean I won't go all Agatha Christie and murder some people in the fic (also Atsushi isn't a petty thief, he's a big-time wanted criminal :>)
It's been really exciting to brainstorm! :D
And for favorite AU to write might be...hm... ngl I hate like all of my writing but an AU that's fun every time is a wild west AU
My favorite AU to read is probably a college AU ngl they just hit different every time (I may also have a soft spot for it bc it was a college AU that got me into fanfiction)
my best friend uttered the words “we may have a second astro situation here” and i cant believe she’d curse me like this.
me with Frank Castle or Matt Murdock
I’m trying to make a Band of Brothers playlist but like the entire thing so far is just country. So. That’s certainly something 😭
