One of my favorite things about Dropout is that I share it with a person I had a threesome with like 3 years ago, and it's one of the reasons we still keep in touch. All for $5.99 a month!

of all the nice press about dropout this ranks among the most meaningful

"Hey, what do you want for Ch-"

I don't know, as soon as you started the question, I somehow momentarily was struck with such a lack of desire for any material goods that there's now a school of thought in Buddhism who reveres my ADHD riddled brain as a potential speedrun to enlightment.

You can clock the moment when Sam realizes that she’s absolutely in love with Evan and it is amazing

i love how brennan so carefully described evan and sams relationship, making sure it was as open ended as possible, only describing it as romantic after danielle had first established that, so that she was just as involved in the life the two of them live in the future. it shows just how much he treasures her opinion irl, making sure her character gets agency whilst still being deeply cared about in world, that they get to make these decisions together

but also it meant a lot to me as someone whose aro ace, that it didn't Have to be a romantic relationship, that you can have a deep and meaningful relationship with someone without it being tied to societal norms. just because something gets perceived as romantic by others, doesn't inherently mean it Must be and that's final.

and danielle defining it as romantic doesn't throw that away. she chose the option she felt described them best. but the fact there were options in the first place, that these characters didn't Have to end up in a romantic relationship, that deep platonic relationships have been so woven into mismag between the pilot program.

it just means a lot to be seen

(for the record i personally i see sam and evan as being in a qpr (with each other and the other pilots in various spider webs and helpful diagrams), but thats the joy of headcannons. happy for evsam truthers, y'all enjoy and have a field day, and ill sit back here with my thoughts and watch c: )

i still find it so fucking funny that aabria walked into the dome to film mismag 2 and said "i'm not leaving this room until at least two of you are banging it out crazy style" and then we got evsam.

...aabria you are the wind in my sails the light of my life i owe everything to you i swear fealty to you forever and always 🫡

Want to also say that I LOVED K and Evan's intensely accurate 20 year old exes/friends dynamic of "I still find you so fucking sexy but I really did not enjoy actually being in a relationship with you."

Sam picturing Evan as the Wicked Witch of the West and calling him hot has been on my mind since this scene happened. Also, friendly reminder, this conversation was had while they were snuggled up on the air mattress together.

It’s wild to me that when I first watched MisMag season 1, I kept waiting for Sam to use enchantment magic on people. It was so obviously her strong suit (her wand was described as being like a microphone iirc), she just had to lean into it, but she repeatedly chose not to.

And then in MisMag season 2, we get to see her actively refusing enchantment magic instead of just avoiding it. Magical deities are asking why she didn’t go back to Seagull Peloton because it would suit her so well. The discord was VOICED IN THE NARRATIVE, and then,,

and then we see Sam’s breakdown when she’s fighting herself. I’m not actually good, you just fell for the lie. And her choosing magic of truth and knowing over magic of convincing takes on a whole new flavor. Because that’s Sam saying that she wants truth instead of admiration, when admiration is all she ever gets. She wants someone to see her, even as she believes that the her they would see is not actually good or smart or-

Her story came together so beautifully in that moment to me because it put all her choices about magic in perspective. And in the end, she proves again and again that she doesn’t NEED the enchantment magic- she already has that power, no magic required, and she wants truth instead.

Hey, no homo, but I am sitting on the broken swing set out back in the perfect, quiet, 2:00am blackness and picturing the softness of your voice and the darkness of your eyes with such perfect and terrible clarity that it feels like I'm choking on my own heartbeat.
