The horrors of the neighbourhood (fascism, misogyny, brutal poverty, mafiosi dealings, violence, brutality, murder, abuse, terror) are manifested in no character as well as they are in Michele Solara > Michele is therefore 'The Neighbourhood' > Lila seeks to control Michele, dissolve his boundaries, guide him to Alfonso > Lila controls Michele = Lila controls the neighbourhood > Lila's terror is subdued > Michele's boundaries 'return to him' as Lila ages > Michele seeks to punish Lila for how she humiliated him > Tina disappears (dissolves into the neighbourhood) > Lila no longer controls the neighbourhood > Lila loses all sense of the margins > Lila follows the fate of her child > Lila dissolves into Naples > Lila and Tina, mother and daughter, fuse via destiny, disappearance > Lila and Tina are both the lost child, singular
#elena ferrante#my brilliant friend#SPOILERS FOR BOOK 4 PLEASE LOOK AWAY#my interpretation is that lila in the end is fully in control#she becomes immersed in naples because she wants to disappear#she is in control or has at least fully surrendered to the sensation of 'dissolving margins'#it doesn't terrify her anymore#because after tina's loss there is nothing else that she has to lose#she accepts her condition and finds peace in it#but michele...listen... i have things to say#he is the most fascinating male character in the series#he is an ugly brute#he is a fascist#so he is not compelling for any noble reasons#but still. he is the one that compels me most.#because he is most like lila#he knows and lila knows she is like him#he wants lila to accept this and lila resists this (book 2 + 3 mostly we see this)#saying all of this because i just finished episode 5 and i am THINKING!!!

Most Sherlock Holmes adaptations I've seen tend to place their Final Problem towards the mid point of the series (or even a bit earlier) - it's also in my opinion the best way of going about it, so you have time enough for the characters to adjust after the reunion but they know each other well enough for the events of Fina to be devastating.
Sherlock & Co is done with 20 of the adventures. How many are there? Fifty-something? Almost sixty? Let's say we'll be entering mid-point territory after the 25th story.
So let's pretend for a moment that we have 5 more stories until The Final Problem. Ok.
Estimating an adventure at 3 episodes each, that would mean little over 3 months - maybe 3 and a half? Starting, of course, from the end of Sign of Four, which will be somewhere in December.
So let's say 3, maybe 4 months into 2025. That would be, what? Late march, early april?
Early april?
John having to tell the listeners that Sherlock is dead, in early april?
Quick calendar search reveals what I was praying it would - the 1st of april will be on a Tuesday next year.
So what I'm saying
What I'm saying is Sherlock &Co has the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing
#fyi I don't mean John pranks us about Sherlock dying#i mean it's just the first Tuesday after sherlock “dies” so that's just when he happens to tell the listeners#maybe he's not even aware of the date#and is surprised to see the reactions are less “oh my god oh no” and more “haha good one” or “funny but actually don't joke about that”#ahhh and then he'd have to double down either on the 2nd or next Tuesday and explain again that his best friend is actually dead#oh that would hurt but it would also be absolutely hilarious#for us who know Sherlock's not actually dead#anywayy#for the record i don't actually think they'll do fina as early as april#(but wouldn't it be funny)#They might do it at the actual midpoint#after the 29th story so let's say june/ july#Hoping they don't place it too late cuz then we won't have enough time to see how it affects all of them#Even if it's around the 3/4 point i think I'd be a bit bummed#Also midpoint is a good place to take a break#Of course fear nr 1 is leaving it for the very end and making empt the last episode#and the reason why the podcast ends is “look what happened if it wasn't for the podcast maybe Moriarty wouldn't have noticed Sherlock”#Like a “it's becoming too dangerous” thing#but that's the evil timeline (not us!!!)#Honestly if it were me I'd make fina the midpoint.... then hiatus...... return...... second half......#and then get another big dangerous villain for the last few eps#Maybe one of them (sherlock) almost gets killed (again) and that's why john decides that#it's been swell but we're ending the podcast cause apparently we're putting (too big of) a target on our backs#Almost lost sherlock again the risks outweigh the benefits etc etc#Of course they'll keep solving crimes together just stop broadcasting them to the world#And that's how I'd do it! :D#God i can't be trusted with tags#If you read this far I love you#sherlock & co#theories

One thing I’ve really grown to like about Keeley’s KJPR storyline is the gradual change in her relationship with Barbara. Like, Barbara in the beginning was obviously very condescending towards Keeley and treated her like she was an idiot. Her behavior with Shandy was so demeaning and almost as nasty as Shandy’s own attitude. Then as things went on and Barbara started to see what a good boss Keeley actually is, and began to understand her a bit more, Jack and Keeley still spoke about her like she was the butt of a joke, “I tried to pick the most sensitive, empathetic person I know,” “should we invite Barbara over, mess it all up?,” even their little smirky glances at each other when Barbara was making comments at the football match were designed to make fun of her. It was like Keeley and Jack were in the cool girls club while Barbara was continually the loser on the outside.
Yet, even when they weren’t being kind to one another it still felt real? Like one thing I haven’t loved in general this season is that when characters mess up, they’ve quickly devolved into caricatures (e.g., Shandy) and their mistakes feel ridiculous instead of genuine. This however felt true to the way people, even good people, can dismiss one another so quickly for not being like them. The way we talk about each other in little, unkind ways that add up.
But then in the last episode, when Keeley extends her olive branch, she calls Barbara fun. And it’s just so genuine and wonderful? Like, she notably wasn’t just thanking Barbara for being competent or hard working or organized or anything about her as an employee, all the praise Barbara surely has always received. She was saying, “I like you as a person and I like being around you and I would like to be your friend” and Barbara quitting her job to come work for Keeley was her saying “I trust you as my boss and I know you are competent at your job.” The parts of each other they weren’t able to see in the beginning are what brings them back together in the end. I think that’s so lovely.
#one thing I’ll say about KJPR is that for a storyline I’m incredibly lukewarm on I also literally cannot stop thinking about it#keeley jones#ted lasso#ted lasso spoilers#barbara ted lasso#this brought to you by: me being really mean about Barbara in this fanfic I’m writing because I wrote it after like episodes 3 & 4 LOL#anyway Barbara you are a good good egg#so sorry Jamie and Roy and keeley are all shit talking you right now

is it just me or are the seasonal activities for revenant weirdly quiet??? i haven't had any dialogue for the major fieldwork outside of the first one, which is weird given the 160 second timer, and the most i get for onslaught is a single line of completion dialogue after the loot chest is opened
i know we've apparently got another one or two seasonal activities upcoming but it makes revenant feel so... barren. like seriously, this is a major event with fikrul turning living eliksni in scorn, and you're telling me that crow, mithrax, eramis, and eido have nothing to say to each other abt it outside of what they've said in the missions for act 1? add in the lack of eavesdropping radio conversations, and it just feels bizarre.
#destiny#destiny 2#like i don't think you can even say this is bc they decided to switch to dump all of each act at once instead of weekly#like *maybe* you could justify it because they didn't want to record multiple dialogues you might miss if you did onslaught partway through#but like. not even once you've completed act 1? normally that's great incentive to keep playing once you're done#i did actually get like 4 lines of dialogue after my first onslaught completion but one was a variks' line i've heard since#and the other 2-3 were crow and eido talking to each other (and blanking variks lol)#but crow's voice had a weird effect like it was recorded on a shitty mic or he had the eliksni filter applied for some reason??#i am bamboozled and baffled#idk if this episode had its funding reduced for the same reason the layoffs happened or what#but the story is great and the gameplay loop is just *off*

Patrick Troughton - billed as Pat - helps the stricken French nobility (and flashes the audience) as Sir Andrew Ffoulkes, a staunch ally of the title character in The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel (ITP, 1955 - 1956)
#fave spotting#patrick troughton#the adventures of the scarlet pimpernel#doctor who#classic doctor who#two#itp#itc#1955#I've had a nice rhythm going lately with pairing a 50 min series (usually The Saint these days‚ tho not for much longer...) with a shorter#25 min one to dip into when I've less time or whatever. with The Adventurer over (adieu and farewell Gene Bradley you insane#multi talented everything) i thought I'd change it up a little and go for a much earlier itc series for a different tone. so early in fact#that they weren't even ITC yet; the company was then known as the Incorporated Television Programme Company‚ ITP for short‚ but be not#fooled; this is in every way the Lew Grade led company that would come to dominate the commercial tv world in the decades to follow#The Adventures of Robin Hood is usually identified as the first ITC production but in fact it beat this series to the screen by only#3 days and the two shows were presumably in production simultaneously. Hood went on to be the making of ITC and Lew Grade and lasted#a whopping 143 episodes over 4 years; Pimpernel made it to only 18 despite being planned as a 39 part series (standard length for these#early itc shows). exactly what went wrong i dont know; Goring was heavily involved in production as well as starring and maybe that played#a part‚ or maybe the popular success of Hood meant this show was no longer affordable. idk im just speculating but from#what I've seen it's fairly fun. starting on ITV just a week after the network commenced transmission‚ it's safe to say this didn't capture#the public imagination like Hood did and it does seem to have been rather forgotten about. Pat is actually a series regular and these#pics come from a few different eps among the first few. he isn't in the very first (nor is the Pimpernel's other faithful companion#played by Anthony Newlands) and i do wonder if that was a pilot (it has Robert Shaw as the Pimpernel's right hand and to my#knowledge he doesn't reappear; he'd make up for it with a starring role in one of ITC's next series‚ The Buccaneers#but yes he's here and he's fantastic and gets to be dashing and heroic (tho never moreso than Goring of course). he's also the one of the#three heroes who best suits the powdered hair look (Newlands looks quite unfortunate). and of course i know what im doing with that#last shirtless pic.. you're welcome Pat girlies (gender neutral)#maybe I'll make another post after I've seen a few more eps but i wasn't going to commit to a Pat post for every episode im afraid

!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#A great episode tbh especially given the low budget. I feel like they really did their very best#And even though what I'm going to say next is probably going to be all critic - because I nitpick things and that's what I always end up–#talking about - I still want to underline that it was a very solid and enjoyable episode!!!#Alright the ss/kk was so 💞💞💞 every scene I had to rewatch twice or thrice akhscbashfb they're so cute!!!#Except for the riding scene tho. That scene gives me massive second hand embarrassment every time I just wish it will end as fast as–#possible pffttt. Mmmmhhh... The drawings weren't even too bad all accounted. My main complain is about the quicksand scene...#I feel like that one should be a slow quiet emotional scene. I never licked the choice of using the song as background soundtrack :/#I feel like it ruins the mood of the scene (it was still good though)#I also... Generally don't like the direction they seem to go for with Akutagawa's character in the anime‚ he seems quite a bit flatter–#compared to how he is in the manga. He can't be angry and evil ALL the time you need to show that softness get through from time to time.#If not what even is the point of his character. Yet in the anime he's angry (and not distraught) when he loses the mine craft and he's–#angry when he's questioning Atsushi about his motifs and he's angry when he's bragging about Atsushi's abilities to Goncharov and he's–#angry when he makes the promise with Atsushi at the end of the episode and eventually he'll be just as angry even when telling Atsushi–#to run away as he's sacrificing his life for him. It is pretty flat at the end of the day.#If I can say something about K/ensho Ono without being killed I think they do contribute to making him feel angry all the time.#But that said it's all probably poor directing choices (or simply choices I don't agree with).#Also‚ about cuts. Usually I try to be lenient about it– I understand it's hard to fit in everything and b/sd already does a very–#good job by adapting the manga almost panel-by panel. It's just that... You skip Akutagawa showing compassion for Atsushi after the–#orphanage director died. You skip Atsushi sharing the same compassion when Akutagawa loses his targed in the mines chase. You skip the–#“Nothing special about that. // I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor.” line. And sure each of them may be negligible by their own#But together they wave a consistent web of relationship between the two characters you know? And it's a loss to omit them all#Well no mind. Again it was still a great episode overall!!!!#I think the colors in the mines could have been prettier in the mines but we can't have it all#Off to season 4!!! Omg I can't believe we got this far :DDD#random rambles#FINALLY was able to catch up in time for the season 3 finale!!!!!!

if we're being so for real, i was a goner on the winter soldier storyline in the mcu the second they cast sebastian stan as james "bucky" buchanan barnes because i was watching once upon a time season 1 episode 17 hat trick when it aired on march 25, 2012 and became deeply enamored with jefferson's tragic backstory, manic moments, fun little kidnapping habit, and deeply deeply sad eyes
#now you might be saying 'tea that episode came out after the first cap' and to THAT i say 'i didnt watch ca:tfa until after the avengers'#no i have not watched the falcon and the winter soldier and no i have no plans to <3#there is a reason 3/4 posts in my ouat tag are jefferson. he bewitched me body and soul#like HELLO when he reunited with paige? i feel ill. what the hell.#also him breaking into that psych ward to let out belle that was SOOOOOOOO fun#he made such a big impact on me for such a minor character i think back on his wonderland outfits so fondly#tea watches tv#tea watches movies#not pjo#chitter chatter#it's about having a type: unstable sad men with trauma who are kinda violent who are estranged from family and loved ones and also#memory problems are involved. paige baby i am going to be SICK#sorry that reunion scene is SO GOOD and like. its once upon a time. like. its ONCE UPON A TIME. literally what the fuck.#im going to end up on the news.#dear person in the comments of this scene collection youtube video that says#'jeffersons curse was to remember. buckys curse was to forget.' i will see you in the trenches.

"she met a pinecone's fate" was hysterical the first time around and it's still funny but the longer I think about it the more unsure I actually am about the line
#it just feels so. callous. or like. it doesn't FEEL callous cause it's not portrayed that way and you laugh and I'm still laughing#but like. it's callous that is a callous thing to say and it's not like percy doesn't have dickishness to spare#but on this specific thing? really? he's not like that#like. this is after being told the full story so he knows what happened to thalia#and his response to effectively hearing about how this girl died for her friends and not just any friends but the people he's with rn#is “she met a pinecone's fate” a like. dismissive joke about what happened to her#like in the books percy empathizes with thalia's situation he feels for her it's tragic it's a somber moment😭😭#she was a demigod more powerful than the others she was hunted even more than they usually are (percy relates)#and she died for her friends (definitely something percy relates to and would value lol)#and on TOP OF THAT. to say this in front of grover and annabeth? who clearly loved her a lot??#like. percy doesn't like annabeth atp but he doesn’t hate her enough to be crossing those sorts of lines??#and GROVER. is literally his best friend. can you not figure that thalia's death probably weighs on him#oh wait I just remembered at that point in the episode he doesn't know grover was with them lol sorry ignore that bit#anyway. like I get it it's funny and they have a lightly antagonistic relationship in ttc so it's funny!!#like haha he's ALREADY getting his digs in!!#but. idk. feels a bit mean :/#pjo#pjo tv#dropping episode 3 thoughts mere hours before episode 4 lmao#I'm not gonna be able to watch 4 tonight though lol

is anybody else out there still creating twdg fanworks 😭📢 where is everyone please dont say reddit i cant go back there
#im gods bravest little soldier for following fandom tags but its rough in there#guess i should specifically say where are the twdg fans who didnt hate violet#sometimes i remember how homophobic (and racist?? in the lee and clem game??) people were during s4 (and still are on reddit/yt) and think:#maybe i should stop looking and just let the cool people find me#go knocking on enough doors and the devil may answer#but i want to see fanart 🥺#was only Slightly surprised by the misogyny because this is clems game series but hoo boy the misogyny towards violet......#ive gotten used to how quiet it is i gotta remind myself a dead fandom is better than an annoying one 💀burning shores reminded me of that#so hard being a wlw in video game spaces please where are my other wlw video game enjoyers i need to find u 😭#gotta draw some more ellie to lure them in like an angler fish#im honestly surprised how dead twdg seems to be esp with the way the final season ended?? its set up so well for fanworks??#theres a lot of unaccounted for time even before clem got to the school. and its set up that their lives could be anything now#is it just because people were burned so hard by seasons 2 and 3 that a lot of people just didnt even play 4??#or maybe they didnt even know s4 was un-cancelled??#because i know theres a lot of people who stopped after 3#but 4 is such a return to form. its like the other side of the coin to s1 for me. like if s1 was more hopeful instead of dreadful#it is Such a love letter to s1 honestly. imagine if telltale didnt shut down in the middle of production and they got a full budget.....#sometimes i imagine it... s4 with a full 5 episodes??? in my dreams. literally.#oof this turned into a ramble im just fandom lonely#twdg#it speaks

the past few eps of cr have all been so good. This whole shard arc will probably become another favorite of mine from c3, alongside the bassuras arc
#critical role#critical role c3#after finishing the past 3 eps i felt the instant urge to rewatch the whole thing again#and that's saying something after watching a whole 4 hour long episode#all of them having these big character moments and having the culmination of what they've been building for a while#can't wait to see how they'll come out at the end of it#man i love critical role so much

iiii dont think im gonna post much amagaday about this arc, because i don't enjoy the interpretation that jon was completely innocent in taking live statements, nor do i think basira or especially melanie were irrationally upset at him, and i know a significant amount of posts at least read as if people vehemently disagree
#look it wasn't completely his fault either but i think tma is fundamentally ABOUT this question of control#over your own actions and participation in perpetuating harm#but it's so juicy that Jon didn't tell anyone. that's a choice he made. was it a fair one? maybe if he'd told them immediately after#the first or even second they wouldn't have reacted as poorly or could've prevented 3 4 and 5#but its also fair that he was scared to tell them. with how vehemently Basira was fighting monsters. dealing in intel. not people#but he did do it.#he didnt say 'help Basira hold me back! I'm being taken over by the Eye to take Floyd's here statement!'#also i cannot believe it took me seeing that fanart i reblogged to consciously consider the lens of#3 women confronting their friend/coworker/fellow hostage about a complaint from a woman that he harassed her#not that thats the only lens it can or even should be viewed through but#just felt like. oh. duh#also why I've been kinda dreading s5. since thats the one i was actively in the fandom i also actively remember#The Discourse#[dun dun duuun]#funniest post was the one that called tma fake queer representation a full 10 episodes after jon had said 'i love you' to martin#joos yaps#(and also finally... hot jon rights)#(i have a lot of thoughts but i dont want to get too worked up and portray things unfairly so this is all yallre getting today)

every time a person shows up in my notes liking or reblogging all the 12 monkeys content i have my heart grows 3 sizes like the grinch :) because nobody in my offline life has seen the whole show and at most a handful of people i know even on tumblr are familiar with it but it’s one of the best crafted stories i’ve ever been told and the rare scifi i genuinely adore and it plays with time! and morality! and somehow manages to be both tropetastic and existential at once! while also being about a fucking plague (i started watching it in 2020 because I Make Good Choices) yet it’s also funny and the best of all the things, a story of found family
#basically its only flaw is i wish it were gayer it's very full of straight dynamics and legacy#but it's just...*chef's kiss* and was such a revelation for me that i wish it were the kind of show that appealed to others the same way#my best friend and next-closest family member both gave it a chance for me#but it was too much (too intense? too dark? they'd be able to say) for leander and they needed breaks between seasons#and they never went back after s2 afaik (which is sad cuz hannah waddingham shows up right after that i need to rewatch just for her)#and kayla only saw the 3 or 4 episodes she watched here with me as far as i know#i just don't think it was her style so i don't expect her to watch any more#anyway i accept that my reasons for loving it mean nothing to people who don't love shows for those same reasons#but i shall remain ever hopeful that more people i know might love it someday--or that i might continue to meet more people who do :)#because it's got such a tiny fanbase here that therefore like i said whenever somebody is going through my tag for it#i could not be happier#12 monkeys#actuallylukedanes#i have the best best friend#television fanatic

#the comments on that post saying he’s in love#or that they’re a perfect couple#or that he’s finally found happiness with someone#u what#this is the bad place i swear#am i being a serial monogamist shipper or am i just struggling to understand the preference#of a ship that’s had literally 4 scenes together and have known eachother for 3 weeks#over the ship who have been best friends for 6 years. coparents saved eachother’s lives#codependency and established trust and love#a history#a slow burn over a fast burn#girlies they are not in love after 2 episodes 1 kiss and 1 failed date. i promise#no hate to people who do ship them or multi shippers#do whatever makes you happy#but i’m seeing a lot of hate directed at people who DONT ship them. a lot of -phobic words#chat is it homo/biphobic to have a favourite fictional ship#also i know this has been discoursed a lot but#the amount of putting him on a pedestal as this perfect queer elder who can do no wrong#the perfect introduction to queerness (huh??)#it sits weirdly with me#especially because it suggests eddie is not good enough. not suitable#not worthy of being a first queer love#have i ever ranted so much in my life#yes. but out loud alone in my flat
