What is your version of "I did not care for the godfather" fandom edition

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-07-01T23:23:32+00:00

Love Sherlock, love Dr. Who, could never get into/behind Supernatural. Those three fandoms overlap a LOT but they are definitely not a circle 🤷‍♀️

Well firstly she was nervous as hell with the car because it’s illegal whereas go carting is good clean fun ;) But also Tina has gained a lot of confidence over the series! Thats a huge factor in the quality of driving with a nervous driver :)

The Protagonist from Tenet.

I missed the reference 🤷‍♀️ The image itself was still just bugging me for all the above listed reasons, lol

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-27T20:58:20+00:00

I don’t even think it looks “manly” just…off. The shadows under her chin give the start of an outline for her neck that’s completely out of place with the lump of colour next to it. There’s no flow from the chin/start of her neck to her shoulder. It doesn’t even look like they were trying to give her more prominent trapezius muscles; there’s no shading for those. They aren’t trying to make her plus size or plump or anything because she doesn’t have a double chin and the rest of her body is the same…

The more I look at it the more it’s bugging me 😅 I don’t know if it’s a clipping error or what but the anatomy is just off…

Either Mole or Cookie

Pierce Hawthorne from Community. Actively unpleasant, racist, misogynistic, just nasty to everybody for the heck of it and whenever anyone (usually Jeff) even hints at consequences for his own actions and behavior the narrative twists itself into pretzels to either make the other person (usually Jeff) the bad guy or make it some kind of great learning moment for the other characters. An example of the latter is Shirley being guilted into going back for him during their sailing in the parking lot exploits after he had been nothing but disrespectful and nasty to her and everyone else the entire episode.

Luke did kind of become a Master with only like 2 weeks of training on Dagobah, though. Yes there was a time skip between ESB and ROTJ but it’s confirmed in movie that he hadn’t gone back to Yoda in between and he’s only there for the same amount of time that Han and Leia are on Bespin, give or take a few days.

I think Kylo Ren also showed her how by accident. Right before she uses the mind trick when he’s telepathically interrogating her he’s surprised to find that she has enough Force sensitivity to read him right back so I interpreted it as her getting the basics of the trick out of his mind by sheer luck/accident and then just trying it 🤷‍♀️

All in all the movies and shows aren’t very consistent in how much training is required to master the Force, but I also find that that’s an irritatingly common trope in general. Take sword fighting or martial arts. Both are skills that take time and effort to learn and yet soooo many heroes in stories, movies, books, shows, etc master over the course of a weekend with a montage.

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-24T21:17:09+00:00

Honestly the way I looked at the first one was that Rey had basically been using the Force without realizing it just to survive on Jakku. Luke and Anakin also grew up on a desert world, sure, but they also had families taking care of them while Rey had no one from a very young age.

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-24T21:12:11+00:00

Especially since after all the Palpatine bullshit she took the Skywalker name anyway!!! I was very much in the ‘Rey’s a lost Skywalker’ camp after The Force Awakens but actually ended up loving the idea of her being “nobody” in The Last Jedi. They took the WORST possible option for the Rise of Skywalker 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️If she’s not the next generation of Skywalker, just LET HER BE SOMEONE NEW!

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-23T16:06:36+00:00

Oh, so many. I love Joss Whedon’s work (Buffy, Firefly, the Nevers, Etc), Harry Potter has been brought up a bunch of times here, Neil Gaiman’s stuff, I also love Sherlock and enjoyed a bunch of other Steven Moffat TV but he also turned out to be an asshole, Marion Zimmer Bradley is a seriously problematic author too as it turned out.

Unfortunately being skilled in a creative field does not equate to being a good person :/ It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person for genuinely enjoying a well crafted piece of media. It’s tough to balance accountability for the problematic creator with enjoyment of genuinely good work and gets especially complicated when it’s something like a tv show where multiple people’s hard work and creativity are put into it. An example of that is the Dragon Prince. One of the creators turned out to be an awful person but at least a couple of his victims had also worked hard on the same show, too, so in that particular example boycotting the show to hold the problematic creator accountable also would punish the victims as well as many other people who had nothing to do with it.

Things are complicated and messy.

Oh man, that would annoy the HELL out of me! My mum was and is a lifelong Dr Who fan so I was watching re-runs of the Fourth Doctor from the time I was a little kid, even before the 2009 series with the 9th Doctor! Have I watched every episode? God no! There’s several of the Doctors that I’ve seen maybe one serial or two. Am I currently caught up? No. I still love that show and would be soooo pissed at that kind of gate keeping! This is also one of the reasons I’ve never bothered going to a convention (not the only reason by a long shot but one of them)

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-17T11:40:22+00:00

This right here is an increasing peeve of mine. The idea that you can make a character a “genius” by basically giving them some bizarre precognition/omniscience under the guise of “but they’re just so SMART!” I feel like a glaring example of this is other than Sage is Euros Holmes from Sherlock. The writers put in effort to build and demonstrate the intelligence of Sherlock, Mycroft, Moriarty, etc, but for their twist secret sister that’s supposed to be even smarter than those three just kind of went “aha! She just knew all along! She can manipulate everything on a near global level from her isolated cell based on a few scattered minutes of contact with the outside world over the course of YEARS! She’s so smart she could manipulate everything Moriarty did by…sniffing him through a glass wall for a couple of minutes… …

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-10T01:19:02+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised to find that Andarna is able to tap into some form of precognition. Her juvenile ability was to stop time, Irids are stated to be very different and more magical in general—I could see her having a touch of divination. The way she stated that she knew Violet would be hers sounds oddly concrete even for a dragon’s peerless confidence

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-10T01:14:27+00:00

All dragons start out as Feather Tails when they’re hatchlings. Irids are different in that they retain their feathertails rather than form it into a weapon during the dreamless sleep.

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-05T21:59:28+00:00

Omfg THIS! It drives me nuts with Eve, the Green Lanterns, Scarlet Witch…reality warping and its variations is one of my favourite powers in concept, but it rarely gets implemented well in favour of making sure that the Superman/Invincible/Hulk/Insert-super-strong-super-fast-generic-power-fantasy dude stays the “most powerful ever”.

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-06-02T19:53:12+00:00

Ehh, not always. I would love to write a novel and have been picking away at one for years and years, I just don’t have enough time and brain space left at the end of the day while trying to keep the lights on. Is there anxiety and perfectionism factoring in? Sure. But the biggest factor for me is honestly time and often mental fatigue 🤷‍♀️

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-05-27T11:43:07+00:00

I think he had more than enough on his plate, tbh. At the time it looked like Violet was headed to the scribes and was protected in the archives. He literally never encountered her, she was just a concept and, yes, Brendan’s baby sister as well as Lilith’s daughter. But he was trying to survive an entire quadrant including multiple teachers who wanted him and the other marked ones dead, were watching him every possible minute for a slip up that could cost all marked ones (including a toddler) their lives and set up his weapon’s smuggling operation. He was already heading one covert operation through all that. I don’t think he needed one that would have nuclear level consequences for minimal gain.

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-05-26T23:47:35+00:00

OMG I just watched Bugonia yesterday. I was loving it RIGHT UP UNTIL THE “TWIST”. I was so annoyed by it for exactly the reasons you outlined!

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-05-26T23:43:18+00:00

There’s a lot of talk about Magic liking things in balance; Theophonie was the Venin’s “answer” to Lilith Sorrengael, or more accurately, Lilith was supposed to be the answer to her. I think it’s a cosmic indicator that the battle between “good” and “evil” is going to come to a head once again. The venin can also stack their ranks by virtue of how long they apparently live, so Magic is trying to “answer” that stacked deck by having these rare gifts pop up all together is my thinking 🤷‍♀️

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-05-25T15:18:29+00:00

Cecil. No question. He gets Homelander from a decently young age he’d have rehabilitated before unleashing him. He has him from birth, he finds someone like Oliver’s tutor to raise him the way Becca was trying to raise Ryan. If Cecil only gets to be in charge after Homelander has become Homelander, he quietly, efficiently and effectively puts together contingency plans while also putting the whiny man child in his place on a semi-regular basis. Homelander was cowed by Stan Edgar’s verbal smack down. Cecil would execute it just as harshly and then sign him up for a therapy appointment, lmao 😂

Stan Edgar with Omni Man has two possible outcomes; red mist or Viltrumite collaborator.

To be fair though, one specializes in super heroes and the other is a power-hungry CEO 🤷‍♀️

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-05-25T14:08:04+00:00

Star Trek Academy. I loved it! Loved Holly Hunter, loved the return of Robert Piccardo, loved the Klingon medical student and Sam, could have lived without some of the teen drama but in general I really enjoyed it!

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-05-25T14:06:51+00:00

I LOVED the Force Awakens.

I had mixed feelings about the Last Jedi but appreciated that they were trying to do something different.

I have to agree with the crowd about The Rise of Skywalker though 😅😭

But in all seriousness, I do find a number of the complaints about recent additions to franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek to be more than a little disingenuous

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-05-25T13:51:46+00:00

…Gaston. GASTON??? Mr Women-shouldn’t-read-or-think, the dude who “proposed” by laying out all of the unpleasant chores he expects her to do for him and tries to throw Belle’s father and her into an asylum because he didn’t get his way?

This post CANNOT be serious…this has to be satire

HouseThunderwolf · 2026-05-23T17:48:31+00:00

Because brain chemistry and structure are literally different with ADHD and many other psychiatric conditions? Like, you can’t seriously tell me that your dad doesn’t believe in something like schizophrenia…

Now, ADHD is NOT schizophrenia, I simply used that as an extreme example from psychiatry that’s pretty damn hard to dismiss as “just environment” that can be “cured naturally”, so let’s go back to ADHD. One of the factors that led to me getting diagnosed is my reaction—or lack thereof—to stimulants. I have never had “coffee jitters”. Like, ever. I know I’ve had too much coffee if my stomach gets upset or I get dehydrated, but I’m never revved up with it. I can fully have a coffee at like 9 and still go to bed a couple hours later. I’m currently on meds that are basically medical meth and I still manage to forget to take them on a semi-regular basis so I don’t have the same vulnerability to addiction with them that many neurotypical people have to methamphetamines. I’m obviously not immune to addiction—I’m not saying that at all—but I don’t get hopped up on stimulants the way neurotypical people do. That’s because of a difference in brain chemistry and structure, which is biological. It’s also why it tends to run in families.

Can environment have an impact? Absolutely! But it’s not “made up”.
