Doing research instead of writing? Boring Reading instead of writing? Lame Making moodboards for characters? Time consuming Making a playlist for your story? Too much effort.
Making memes that represent parts of your story? Always.
(basically I just finished a chapter of a story I've had so much fun writing and started making memes about different parts of the story)
AU where Sarah and Duck live and after saving everyone from the Delta, James stayed with the group and showed them all how to live among herds. They use this to gather food in crowded areas like some stores. But one day Sarah finds a library but finds it packed with walkers. So Duck being Duck, goes inside and stuffs a duffel bag full of random books he comes along as he slowly makes his way through the library. Sarah anxiously awaits outside, worried that she’d just killed Duck. Is happy to see that Duck successfully made it out alive with no bites and the books. Basically a headcanon where Duck will risk his life to make people happy by getting them stuff. (Sarah with books, Mitch with some matches, Tenn with some art books and paint, ect)
You know how people will skip an episode of a show they've watched because they can't stand watching it? Like the 'Scotts Tots' episode from The Office. And I know why people don't watch the episode, because it's just so uncomfortable and cringe to watch, which I also feel the same way, as I too skip that episode when I watch.
But I have a few episodes of Friends that I will just skip because there's at least one episode where I physically can't STAND one of the Friends because of what they're doing in the episode.
Monica - TOW Phoebe's Wedding. I really hate skipping this episode because I love Phoebe and Mike's wedding, but I cannot stand Monica in that episode. She was controlling and cared more about planning an elegant wedding than Phoebe and Mike's happiness. Like removing the vegetarian meal and replacing it with meat; the bride is literally vegetarian??? And then Phoebe rightfully fires Monica because she's so controlling, but Phoebe is the one that has to apologise? That's so bullshit.
Joey - I don't remember the episode, but the one with Rachel's romance book. I actually hate Joey in that episode because he just will not let it go that Rachel reads those types of books. And I get it, it must be strange for a guy to understand that it's not just guys who enjoy reading THAT, but seriously, LET IT GO!
Rachel - TOW Joey Speaks French. Rachel getting mad at Ross for NOT sleeping with her when she was completely vulnerable is crazy.
Ross - There's a lot of episodes where Ross is unbearable, but tolerable for the most part to the point where I don't want to skip an entire episode just because of him. But I do really hate watching the episodes where he dated that college girl (it was completely inappropriate) and TOW The Nanny. How insecure can you be to fire a guy who just so happens to work in a field that is primarily of women.
Phoebe - TOW The Cat. I love Phoebe, but there are some scenes where I can't stand how hypocritical she is. She's meant to be laid back but is so controlling when it comes to her beliefs. I hated the cat episode because if I was a little kid and my cat was stolen because some woman thought it was her deceased mother, I'd be pissed. And it's so wrong for Phoebe to degrade Ross when all he was doing was trying to tell her the truth, as hard as it was to hear.
Chandler - I actually can't really think of an episode of Chandler being unbearable to the point of skipping an episode. There are some moments that I don't like, but not to the point of skipping.
People have been commenting about the Squid Game glass panels game, saying stuff like;
“Why don’t they just jump on the beam?”
“If I was there, I’d use the beam”
Yes, I can see how people can think landing on the beam would be a solution, but theres a few things I don’t think people take into consideration. The bridge was made like this:
l⬜️| |⬜️|
With two beams supporting each side of the bridge, giving a rather medium gap in the middle. I was watching Matpats theory (which alot of it did not make any sense btw) and he said something about landing on the beams of both panels with your feet split. Like this;
/\ <- legs
|⬜️| |⬜️|
Its a pretty shitty way to explain but stick with me here. Now it’s not the size of the bars that we need to consider here, it’s the size of the jump you need to make it to the next two panels. The gap is big, bigger then the distance of the bars. Now jumping that distance, landing with your bare feet on the edge without leaning to heavily on one side when you land is highly unlikely.
Throwing yourself at that distance and landing in a position that will make you lose your off balance is mostly likely going to throw you off your feet, between the glass panels infront of you and to your demise. It’s like jumping on stepping stones in high heels, there’s no way your going to land steadily. There’s also the fact you can’t wear your shoes, which will put pressure on your feet, considering you have to be careful of the weight you put on each side. That will mean you have to land with your feet in the exact same position when you jump the gap.
Which again, highly unlikely. Edit: Also, shuffling is most likely not going to work either. The glass panels are ontop of the beam, meaning you would have to land on the first two glass panels, shuffle across and then crawl your feet back onto the second ones. But you would have to have amazing balancing skills and feet made of steel to do that.
Happy International Women’s Day from the ladies of TWDG!
INSERT: *valid criticism of a show/movie* RESPONSES: "It's a movie, you're thinking too hard about it" "It wouldn't be a sitcom if it didn't have problems" "You're too invested, relax"
Like, what???? The point of watching something is to be invested in what's happening? Do people actually sit there and stare blankly at their screens with no thoughts??? What's the point of watching if you're not gonna bother expressing your opinions it?
It's just weird how people actually bother commenting, "It's just a show" under posts either criticising plots or characters. Like they think that's a valid argument.
3 Fandoms I'm currently writing 3 fics for simultaneously.
VS
3 Fandoms I want to start writing 3 fics for simutaneously.
but I'm afraid if I start writing 6 fanfictions at once I'll burn out so fast that I stop writing all of them.
because I'm physically incapable of writing oneshots, so all my fanfictions are multichapter.
SPOILER WARNING AHEAD
10. Greg
He died off screen and had his head stuck in the fridge. Boring tbh.
9. Laura (Samara Weaving) First death of the movie. Not too bad but not as exciting compared to the rest.
8. Store clerk (don’t know the actor) Everyone already knows he dies, it was in the trailer. Still super cool to see Ghostface shoot a guy though.
7. Jason (Tony Revolori) I thought his death was pretty average, since it was just a few stabs and he technically died off screen, cause of the title card. Only rating him higher than Laura because of Ghostfaces aggressive slash before the title card.
6. Brooks (Thomas Cadrot) Gale’s new boyfriend. Died off screen, only ranked higher because I thought it was funny how quick he got snatched and how he got thrown through the shelves.
5. Quinn (Liana Liberato) This is not based on her fake death! She got shot in the head, similar to how Liv died in Scream (2022). Ranking her higher compared to the others just because of how crazy she looked near the end.
4. Dr Christopher (Henry Czerny) His death was super gross, he got stabbed right through the nose. It was kind of like watching Wes’ death all over again. Still, it was pretty good.
3. Anika (Devyn Nekoda) Mindy’s girlfriend. The entire ladder scene was so nerve wracking. The way Ghostface was shaking the ladder freaked me out so much. Her death was super sad but unique.
2. Detective Bailey (Dermot Mulroney) I loved his death scene! Sam was so quick with her stabs, wherever she could reach. Only ranked him number 2 cause he got stabbed in the eye. Disgusting.
1. Ethan (Jack Champian) Ethan’s death was absolutely jaw dropping (no pun intended). The entire time I was just like :O. Super gross but definitely the most memorable out of all the deaths.
Hope I didn’t miss any deaths.
Interactions between characters who have zero interaction. Like Emily & Chris or Jessica & Ashley.
Jessica having more screen time instead of being unconscious for half of the game.
Same for Matt, who if he survives the tower falling, is literally just wondering around aimlessly in the mines for half of the game until he reunites with Jess.
Matt potentially making it back to get to the safe zone and having opinions on the whole Mike/Emily/Gun scenario.
Emily and Jessica actually interacting without arguing? Maybe a potential to rekindle friendship? (Cause they're fighting over Mike the sleaze ball, really????)
Maybe more Beth and Hannah scenes? Longer prologue perhaps to actually flesh out relationships. Maybe Matt and Ashley actually have dialogue?
Honestly, if there's just more character/group interactions, I will be satisfied.
I'm a big fan of the walking dead in general. I played the Telltale games several times and my favourite character of literally all time is Ben Paul from season 1. I've watched the show dozens of times and it is in my top 3 shows. (Super disappointed with how the new walking dead game came out - loved the concept of changing the story, but the way they went about it was terrible).
But I found the spinoffs incredibly boring. It might have something to do with the fact that you have to wait a week for every episode, so when I find the first few episodes boring, I'm not bothered to wait and watch the next episode when it comes out. (This has nothing to do with impatience by the way, at one point I was watching Abbott Elementary, The Righteous Gemstones, The White Lotus AND Yellowjackets, all of which are fantastic shows and all had episodes releasing every week).
I watched season 1 of Dead City and remember nothing besides the basic plot of Hershel. I do not plan on continuing the show for season 2.
I watched I think the first two episodes of We're the ones who live before I quit, because again, I was incredibly bored. I love Rick and was so excited to see him back on screen with Michonne, but I got so bored so fast.
I watched the first 3 episodes of Daryl Dixon before I got bored and stopped watching, nor do I plan on continuing. I'm also not into the idea of romance for Daryl, which I had a feeling was gonna happen in like episode 1 with the bath scene.
Controversial opinion; but I will literally only watch Dead City season 2, but ONLY IF Negan and Maggie kiss. I fear that is the only way I would ever watch the show again, because it would be the biggest plot twist in the entire universe and the entire fanbase would quite literally implode out of rage.
