In This Story, Your Mother Isnt The Villain.in This Story, You Find A Way To Pick The Lock, To Wake Up,

in this story, your mother isn’t the villain. in this story, you find a way to pick the lock, to wake up, to climb out of the tower yourself. in this story, you’re angry. in this story, you meet a dragon and it is afraid of you. in this story, you don’t need to be saved. in this story, your mother raised you to recognize a prison from a home. in this story, they don’t fall in love with you before they know you. in this story, they aren’t better than you. in this story, you have claws. in this story, happily ever after has bite marks in it. in this story, you are free and terrifying. in this story, you get away. in this story, you bleed. in this story, you survive.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

the only gripe i have with the psych fandom is that a lot of y’all act like henry spencer is the devil. yes, he was weirdly obsessive about raising shawn to be a detective, and this led to some questionable-at-best parenting moments. but the man is not EVIL.

it has always been clear how much he loves shawn, and he seems to have been very present in his life as a kid. he did his best to raise shawn, mostly by *himself, and set him up for a stable future. he didn’t always go about that the best way, but he had good intentions and he loves his kid. and when shawn is an adult, henry really goes out of his way to help him with psych cases, even though this wasn’t the future henry had envisioned for him.

henry isn’t perfect, but would you really want him to be? i think that would make the show pretty boring. also, whose dad IS perfect?

*(shawn’s mom didn’t leave until he was a teenager, but from what we’ve seen it doesn’t seem like she was as present as his dad was even during his childhood. i have not completed the series, so correct me if i’m wrong on that)

AU where Tim wasn’t ever obsessed with the Flying Graysons or Batman and Robin, and thus never found out their identities. And then at 15 years old his class gets assigned a “fun” research project to propose who resident boogeyman Batman could be and, being the overachieving genius that he is, Tim gets sucked into a conspiracy theory rabbit hole and actually uncovers the truth. Mostly he’s mad that he can’t actually give his excellent presentation bc he can’t compromise Batman’s identity even more, can he?

I don't want my cellphone to have AI I want it to have 3 days of battery time. I don't want my computer to have AI preinstalled I want it to have seven usb ports and high ram at affordable price. I don't want my games to have AI built levels I want them to be so optimized I could run them on a nokia.

Remember in Psych when Gus kept having nightmares about Shawn leaving him and then the whole last episode of the series was about Shawn and Gus having to go their separate ways and then Gus was like "actually you're my best friend why would I live anywhere you aren't??" Bc I think about it all the time and how having friends who you love and who love you is the whole point of everything and the best friendship bw Shawn and Gus is one of if not THEE most beautiful and important relationships I've ever watched in media
