Starting walker finale...

Cordi, running the blender on speaker??

Oh god ptsd

Lmfao screaming at august jfc. What a dad thing

Hug🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Poor cordi. Everyone has a distance about him having been MIA :/ Is this gonna continue

Ok bonham, like I'm glad you're saying you're gonna help but if she wants to learn will you fucking teach her? It's frustrating af when your partner says they'll teach you their skill and then they're just like 'i did it for you'🙃🙃🙃

"Geri-science was a winner. Your sleepytime remedy worked like a charm." CASSIE, DID THAT SLEEPYTIME REMEDY INVOLVE GERI'S TONGUE IN YOUR PUSSY?

"How's Walker?"

"He's... fine. He has his people."

Ok, first of all, DOES he? And are you not one of those people, Geri? Lololol have you been withholding yourself from Walker for CASSIE? 👀👀👀👀👀👀 INTERESTING

Goddammittttttt I've paused too many times and I'm not allowed to have captions anymore. Every FUCKING time. The one good thing about walker ending is NEVER HAVING TO USE THIS GODFORSAKEN APP AGAIN

Omg PLEASE i can't understand what he's saying with Abby on the porch. I've rewatched it 4 times with the volume up.

"Having trouble tellin up from down sometimes " maybe??

I have the volume on 50 💀 i hate the way the app takes captions from me just cuz i pause a lot

PEREZ SIBLINGS FUCK YEAH

Ok stop, I can't help thinking right now about luna's dick friend. Is he gonna show up again, or was that JUST so the "i love her" could happen

God the family casting on this show all around is on point

Lmfao ooh here comes a stellacordi scene

"Felt like a total weirdo walking down the hall"

"That is probably a healthy reaction for an adult man to have."

OK BUT HE'S YOUR DAD?? LOLOLOL PARENTS DO COME THERE😂😂😂😂😂 UNLESS HES ALREADY FEELING SUSPICIOUSSS👀👀👀

THIS DIALOGUE IS FOR US ISTG

HAND ON KNEE

"He just needs you to be there. That was all I wanted. " 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Aaaah facing each other, knees together, hand on knee

"If you get anything from me-'" (pause---it'll be a baby😂😂😂)

HOLDING HIS HAND

"There's no version where you being gone is better. That'd just be a different type of pain. I still need my dad." 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Stella saying she doesn't need an apology 🥺🥺🥺🥺 fucking finally someone

HUGGGGG

Chin on her head, arms grasped around her!

Istg they're looking at my tumblr lmfao

...is trey gonna get the job👀 cassie's chances don't look great after that...

Cordell/Geri scene... I fucking. Knew. He would be like "i want to keep you happy" like. What about YOU, Cordi? What about the way Geri also hasn't been there for YOU? What about her flippant fucking attitude about things? What about the way you have always been all-in on declaring commitment when she has always been scared of commitment? Why is it painted like he's always the one at fault. I am going MAD

GERI WTF??? SO YOU HAD GRIEF HE DIDN'T KNOW HAD EVEN COME UP AND HE "wasn't there" because of his case and BEING FUCKING KIDNAPPED AND ALMOST KILLED. Like sure he wasn't there but why are you saying it like he mistreated you or ignored your pain??????

I want to smack this woman

Fucking patronizing mom voice

I feel like everyone is pressuring him to have to quit being a ranger. HE'S WALKER, TEXAS RANGER

Does he need work-life balance and therapy? YES. Does he need people holding him at a distance because he cares about being a ranger? NO

Feels like walking on fucking eggshells when she mom-hugs him and he hugs back.

STELLA GAVE YOU BETTER

And obvs it's not like i believe in canon stellacordi so obvs I'm not saying marry your daughter instead, but like. The difference is STARK

Like it's fine to wanna do your thing but you gotta stop stringing people along!!! From the beginning, he's always been all-in, wanting to tell everyone and make it official, yet somehow the narrative tries to tell us HE'S been the uncommitted one. WHAT???

Being distracted with a bad law enforcement case and wanting to protect your family from the details is NOT THE SAME as not being committed to a relationship. And if he's been a bad partner, SO HAS SHE.

She's either ignored or not even noticed VERY CLEAR SIGNS that he was not ok

I haaaaate her lmfao

Omg cassie got the job!!!

Omfg are you fucking serious. Started this Larry/James scene with captions, haven't paused at all, and suddenly after "yeah it's the spot" the captions just STOPPED🙃🙃🙃 worst app fucking ever

"Kelly has someone she'd like to hook you up with" it feels like trey has been fielding a lot of this this season lol. I don't see trey/cassie as romantic, but it did sort of feel like the season could end that way because of trey's none ships and friendship w cassie

Why, when he says "a family vacation" do they all go like "no, you don't have to" i want to smack all y'all wtf??? THIS MAN HAS LITERALLY BEEN TRYING TO SPEND TIME WITH HIS FAMILY AND BEING TOLD HE'S NOT AROUND BUT HE IS *TRYING TO BE* GODDDDDD I AM GONNA START BITING!!

"And if that answer is yes, how would you feel about inviting Geri?" Bleh, don't. I hope she can't go lmfao

August Edward Walker!!

The fact that they spell augie like auggie!! Should i change my fics??😂😂😂😂😂

Music suddenly too loud on 50 lol

Lmfaooo the twilight convo. "Clearly team jacob" *liam looks totally vindicated and enamored* "THANK YOU" 😂😂

It's honestly hard for me to ship liam with anyone else now cuz he and ben are so cute😅😅😅

CORDELL DANCING HELP HE'S SO CUUUTE

"I struggled with how to let go, and I realized...it happened. And I-I have to let it happen" heart hurt. It's hard being a parent of grown children 😭😭😭 you really do have to realize it happened. They grew up.

Hahhh I'm crying. Ouch

Omfg for a split second i thought abby and bonham were gonna tell him to move out of the farmhouse. Jfc i had a moment of RAGE

And then "but you finally made it into a home" goddd

I'm over here like, charmed also ended with the sisters living separately, they could totally do this to me🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

That crostini looks delicious

If August had gone to the military instead of school i was gonna be upset and fixit

Oh lol sweet, trey will be Walker's partner 👀 i wish we could've gotten to see that 🥺🥺🥺 And we'd get stuff like in the early days with trey caretaking his stupid wounds 👀👀👀

Ok girls scene. I hate geri but i love her dress lol. Reminds me of a dress i had as a kid

S5 could've been a nice final season. Like they could've said "ok we'll give you a final season to wrap this up" BUT NO

Wow, Sadie apologizing for ghosting Stella 🙃🙃🙃

Lolol sadie is another "you are your father's daughter"

Oh ok, so sadie will work at or manage??? the new side step probably...

Lmao liam "and maybe we could add a real estate level..to it" 😅😅😅😅

Ben: boyfriend please stop speaking lawyer lol

Hahh they're so CUTE. Cordri could NEVER

Lol abby. "Meddling" God FINALLY they're talking about actual intentions

Cordi with his shirt undone 👀👀👀👀👀

God he looks so happy and cavalier. He's like, this'll be so romantic and I'm gonna commit to her and everything will be perfect.

And then Geri's like, whoa settle down there buddy. I think i understand you too

WHAT

She messes with his shirt like "stop looking so slutty" lmfao why is everything she does so patronizing

He stoops down to tuck her hair🥺🥺

"I think i might have a solution for that" gonna either quit or take leave....

Ok I'm still pissy that Luna is blamed on him. HE WAS KIDNAPPED AND BURIED

I know it FEELS like his behavior is to blame, but HE DIDN'T KILL LUNA

If he'd been shot looking for someone else, would she blame THEM???

And I'm not saying he shouldn't apologize for his reckless behavior, but like. Why is no one worried about HIM

I'm tearing my HAIR OUT

LEAVE OF ABSENCE. I WAS RIGHT.

Liam. GOVERNOR???

Omg liam getting kidnapped from Ben by MIB?????😂😂😂😂😂

Luna's coaster on cassie's cork board 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Godddd cordi has a ring box

Yeah, I'm ready *secret smile*

Omfg so vanderbeek did a cameo as the new neighbor???😅 i really wonder what that backstory would've been

Ok i think that was the end lol. Gonna rewatch 😅😅😅😅

_

"See you sometime" i wonder if the ep title would be the same if they weren't canceled

I wish they'd said what the governor wanted, but I'm glad everybody kinda got a little "next thing for this character" inkling

Ok with hindsight of the episode as a whole, I'm even angrier at Geri in the opener. Like the parallel there is clearly intended when Geri says "you're a reminder and that's the last thing she needs" as he's having a BLENDER FLASHBACK

Like idk. She says you're ok and ilu like stating it as a fact will reassure him, but she doesn't actually say "are you ok? Should i call mawline?"

The way Cordi obviously feels like has to tie them together and keep her happy 🙃🙃🙃

*Aside* >>> Vanderbeek would TOTALLY be an annoying neighbor and probably cause problems on the ranch, maybe even between abby and bonham

Geri isn't right for Cordi, and he isn't right for her! They don't ever seem to have the same life goals??? OR love language

Augie saying "go-lly you scared the hell outta me" 😅😅😅

Augie: what's this about?

PLEASE, AUGUST, YOU ACT LIKE THIS MAN ISN'T ALWAYS EXCITED TO MAKE A SPECIAL BREAKFAST FOR AN OCCASION. HE'S HERE NOW WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE IT'S WEIRD AND HE HAS AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE 😭😭😭😭

You and Stella backed out of so many special meals he made!! Have you all gone fucking bonkers??

If they hadn't ended that scene with a hug i would've had to murder someone tbh

I wonder what plans bonham has for the ranch contracts

That "he has his people" line from Geri still driving me CRAZY. SHE'S NOT EVEN WORRIED ABOUT HIS PTSD

Geri rejected Beaches. That's a red flag lol

Abby having a mom moment with Cordi and telling him not to worry about what he might've done different 🥺🥺🥺🥺 fucking thank you.

Also, the way he's like "i kept telling myself after this case was over everything would fall into place. But i ended up just makin a mess of everything" --- john winchester thesis statement

This subaru commercial i always get feels like a travesty. Why is the lesbians car in a het commercial 😅😅😅😅

Stella being like "THIS abduction" but also reassuring cordi it wasn't his fault... only abby and stella have any rights right now

Godd this is making me cry again

The fact that stella hasn't seen what's in that letter... gahhh i can't remember the wording anymore but it was something about always being with her snd it was soooo 👁👄👁... another thing to end up in fic fodder

"And maybe after that we can figure out...where to go from here." MY STELLACORDI HEARTTT

i was well fed for stellacordi this season. More than i truly could imagine. Bless

Het subaru commercial again. In my mind, this woman is bi and in her first non-wlw relationship 😅😅😅

Once again with hindsight this 2nd Cordri convo is even more frustrating. There is NOTHING in her words or behavior that should lead Cordi to think she'll say yes to marrying him. They are on two different tracks in their relationship conversation and she's still holding him at arm's length. This is not a woman in love. This is a woman in "might as well."

AND THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THIS SCENE, AFTER GETTING REASSURANCE FROM STELLA, IS SURE AN INTERESTING NARRATIVE CHOICE

"And i was drowning, and you weren't there" and no followup that "i know you were kidnapped and that's not your fault" just the mom chastisement and patronizing hug.

And his body language is like "oh shit, she's gonna break up with me unless i prove I'm IN THIS"

Geri would totally say no on the vacation

Also we know she never said yes to hoyt because of thinking his wanderlust wouldn't settle. Why would this with cordi be ANY different. Sure he has roots, but he's also dedicated to solving cases. He's not quitting. And i don't see her saying yes without an ultimatum to him

Lol, last vacation days has Geri mentally switching back to thinking about real life and how it just won't work with cordi still in the rangers, and wanting to move to okc to get sadie set up 👀👀👀

Goddd i wish she'd been involved in Emily's death lololol

I know some people are probably upset August didn't get a romantic storyline, but I'm really glad they didn't shoehorn one in for him OR stella. Not even for my shipper heart, but for my aspec heart craving non romantic stories!!

And I'm fucking grateful they didn't end with a concrete cordri engagement

I really like Cordi’s embroidered shirt. It's so cute

Hmm... geri adjusting her not-skewed dress, and cordi's unbuttoned shirt... is this meant to signal that they were getting handsy and decided to move away from people, or am i reading in too much lol

Like every time he tries to be romantic, she redirects with a "but"

Maybe you're just aro, Geri. Maybe someone needs to tell you that's a thing!!

"I love us. And I...UNDERSTAND you, I REALLY think i do." = i love us just like this and really don't want to get married, like... ever.

God i feel insane. WHO sees them with a happy ending together???? It's not THERE

She can feel him leading up to a proposal and redirects him so he can't

But she won't fucking let him down and let him free 🙃🙃🙃

Godd why couldn't they tell us what the governor needs liam for😅😅😅

I'm fine with this ending, as far as i can be. I definitely don't want a more concrete "what happens next" happy ending

I don't want a wedding

Lol Cordell's leather satchel is such a Sam bag

Stella about the Davidson ranch sublet: "why? Maybe it'll be a total drama free situation and we'll just be, like... neighbors." The perfect setup for drama lol, and to tell us well we can't show you but there would've definitely been drama

When cordell grabs gerii's hand in the truck, is it just me or is it trembly? Was it just an extended squeeze, or a signal of stress 👀👀👀👀

Vanderbeek's toe ring and sandals😅😅😅😅😅😅

God i can't believe it's over

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

[shyjusticewarrior]

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

Something you need to remember is that journalistic photographers are still artists at heart. When you are providing a source of information that is to be seen as "the truth" you are going to frame things to look a certain way.

You will publish the ones that look like what you want. The framing of Luigi Mangione's transportation is incredibly evocative of paintings of Jesus being arrested. It also (not so) coincidentally is often the framing of a hero being captured for the greater good.

This is ON PURPOSE. Do not discredit the artist by calling it a mistake. This was on purpose. The artist supports him and is framing him as a hero.

No matter how much corporate news may attempt to drown out the support for Mangione, artists always have the ear of the people. A picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it?

Bruce died(?) again

Jason: Well, it's my turn.

Dick: What are you talking about?

Jason: Everytime Bruce is gone, one of you starts to act just like him, pushing everyone away, acting as only you can be right, and fighting anyone that gets in your way. Dick did it, Tim did it, even Cass kind of did it. So, this time, I will do it.

Tim: Isn't that how you act all the time?

Jason: Whoa, fuck you. You are so banned from historical drama movie nights.

[gothamundernightlight]

I know we as a fandom don’t talk enough about the Batkids acknowledging how old Bruce is getting, but something I think we talk about EVEN LESS is the Batkids acknowledging Dick getting older.

Like Dick is pushing 30 in canon at this point, and realistically cannot do the same things he was doing as a kid. There is a reason a lot of athletes retire young, and Dick’s life has been brutal on his body, so eventually it’ll catch up with him.

Imagine if you will some random new JL/Titans recruit meeting Nightwing and asking “Is it true you can do a quadruple somersault?”

And Dick has to wince and say “I used to, but not anymore.”

Imagine the Batkids hearing that? Imagine everyone who saw him grow up hearing Dick acknowledge he is getting older and can’t do the same things he did in his youth. Imagine how they feel about their own age. Imagine the grief Dick must feel at knowing he’s losing the gifts his parents bestowed upon him, and the fact he’s out-aged them both.

Imagine Bruce painfully acknowledge (in his head because it’s illegal for him to emote aloud) that not only is he getting older, but his first child, his SON, is now the same age he was when Bruce took Dick in.

Imagine Dick picking the smaller option out on ice cream trips because his body can’t handle sugar the way it used to, or eating less in general because his metabolism has slowed down.

Imagine the Batkids sparring and Dick has to tap out because he can’t keep up with them all for as long anymore. Like he can’t keep still do a lot, and handle himself in a fight, but he is not showing off with flips the same way he used to.

Imagine the day one of the Batkids spots gray hair on Dick’s head, or realize that the lines on his face are just a little deeper than they used to be?

Babs keeps calling him the Boy Wonder as a private joke, but the boyish charm that Dick once had has since faded. He’s a grown man, and while at heart he still is the kid that brought light back to Gotham, his outside reflects the life they’ve lived and shared together, which didn’t just pass by in the blink of an eye.

And Jason pretends he doesn’t care, but realizes that Dick isn’t the same 16-year old kid that Bruce put on a pedestal. That he, out of all their siblings, saw Dick the most when he was in his prime, and that his older brother is just a little more fragile than he used to be.

And Tim thinks back to the days of him stalking Batman and Robin before, pulling out those old photos and realizing just how much Dick has aged. When did that happen, he wonders, and how much more will Dick change as he gets older?

Cass, Steph, and Duke acknowledge that Dick Grayson grew up, and left behind a legacy for them to fill, but they’ll always wonder what he was like when he was younger, and wonder how much longer he’ll be around. Bruce has been doing this vigilante schtick for 20+ years, but will Dick still be doing this when he’s Bruce’s age?

Damian takes it the hardest. He can’t look at Dick without thinking of him as the same Grayson who was his Batman, but the truth is, he’s not the same. His old portraits of Dick bear witness to that, with each one just a little different because time is not frozen to Dick the way it is with Ra’s and Talia. Damian privately grieves everyone he comes to care about in advance because death has surrounded him his whole life and eventually despite Dick’s promises that he’ll always be there for Damian, a day is coming when that promise will be broken.

But yeah. Older Dick Grayson. I have thoughts on this.

(Anyways don’t mind me. Just coming to terms with being the same age canonically as my childhood hero.)

[paperlit]

Thinking about how Wyatt Callow is proof that Dr. Gaul’s and Snow’s assertion that humanity’s essential nature is violent (which is part of their argument for the Capitol’s control being necessary) is false. That “What happened in the arena? That’s humanity undressed… A boy with a club who beats another boy to death. That’s mankind in its natural state.” is false.

I’m sure he had it all calculated. He knew exactly what choices would give him the best odds of survival. He knew that the faster he got out of the initial bloodshed the better his chances would be. He knew that letting other kids die would benefit his odds of survival. He knew exactly what he should’ve done to preserve himself.

And yet, he threw all those statistics and odds, all that reason and logic out the window in the name of protecting Lou Lou, a girl that wasn’t even from his district. He threw it all out the window in the name of helping another human being that was in an unfair situation and had worse odds than him. He knew who the real enemy was; he knew it wasn’t the other kids being taken advantage of by the Capitol just like him.

That is humanity.

[ariadne-mouse]

I feel fandom would get along a lot better if there was mutual understanding that liking a character, agreeing with a character, and thinking the character is well constructed/executed are all separate (if often overlapping) positions, each with their separate tastes and subjectivities. Also: character portrayals are intended to make the audience feel things; this is separate from (if often overlapping with) analyzing/appreciating their actions and role in the story.
