I have now finished Rivals. It is one of the most deeply unserious television programs I have ever seen. I want ten seasons.

I’m also lowkey kinda dreading if school bus graveyard will go on hiatus again 😭 if so, then I feel like it’ll take another year.

I don’t know what to read anymore.

SBG EP 80 SLIGHT FASTPASS SPOILERS

i find these two pieces of dialogue from her very.. interesting. i feel like she’s putting up a front about caring for aiden if that makes sense? like she only does it to look good in front of the other parents or to convince herself she’s a good parent. sure she probably cares about him to some extent but she’s not putting much effort to it? if there was a choice where she had to choose to save herself or aiden she seems like the type to choose herself if push came to shove.

“i haven’t been this stressed since our publisher accidentally printed an extra ten thousand copies” seems an awful lot like some sort of guilt trip to twist around their situation and make it about her. how exactly are YOU saying you’re stressed out when the kids literally witnessed someone fall out of the car and nearly get KILLED? it just seems kinda narcissistic in my opinion. instead of trying to comfort anyone or be supportive in any way EMOTIONALLY, you’re too focused on yourself.

which brings us back to the first photo where she reprimands tyler for kicking aiden out of the chair cause he’s quote on quote “obviously injured”. funny how she only starts saying something and being defensive when she’s in the room with him and other people. did she try comforting him at the hospital? no. she may pay attention to aiden physically but she’s definitely not good at handling the emotional aspects at all.

overall she’s just a neglectful parent. most of this post is about the mom but the dad is also a problem too considering he hasn’t done anything significant in these past few chapters. him being silent is just as bad as jessica being conceited in my opinion. it’s always me me me with her. but maybe that’s just my own experience talking…

!!!SBG CHAPTER 79 SPOILERS!!

This chapter is literally almost word for word how I Imagined the kidnapping of the parents all happened and I’m so proud of that fact lol

Mike swearing to kill those people when he was being knocked out and Emma taking the brunt of the attack to protect the other— Ashlyn really is her parents’ daughter XD

The Mike/Emma content was peak

AND LILY, BABYGIRL, BITING THOSE PPL TO PROTECT HER COUSIN, SOMEONE GIVE THIS BRAVE GIRL A MEDAL 😭

AND I KNEW THE GRANDPARENTS WERE SUS. WHAT SO FAMILIAR ABOUT THIS JAMES, HUH?

I also love the fact that Mike just doesn’t vibe with the grandparents lol. He just knows something is up and he hates it XD

And who’s this guy? Are we finally getting insight on the two parties that the cranes are hiding from that was mentioned S1? Because the mark on his hand doesn’t look like the usual paper crane, it looks like a different type of bird.

:O maybe it’s a sparrow like in that one panel from season one where Maverick was standing by a window and there was a sparrow perched on the window.

WAIT DO Y’ALL REMEMBER THAT THEORY ABT HOW MAVERICK MIGHT BE TRYING TO HEAL SOMEONE OR BRONG THEM BACK TO LIFE WHAT IF THIS GUY IS THAT PERSON OMG???

Legit can’t wait for next week 😭

Moodboard de ensueño para Aiden Williams de su amiga secreta, Bellatrix.

SBG Cowboys AU but it's William (Ben's dad) and Daniel (Aiden's dad) beefing in the background having their own side story while the gang have their main story going on upfront

[nastasya--filippovna]

So I finally finished Rivals

so here's my review followed by my episode-by-episode, PowerPoint presentation, Danny Motta style reaction (which no one asked for)

⚠️so massive spoilers heads-up⚠️

WHAT A WATCH! for the first time in, well, forever I did not binge the show immediately after it came out. I gave it time. Watched one episode each day and I think I liked the experience! I remembered a lot more stuff that I do when I binge things. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. Pfft let'g get into it huh!

So I read the book like ages ago when the show was first announced and though I remembered some stuff from the plot, I mostly let myself be shocked by it. Would I have watched it if David Tennant wasn't in it. Hmmmm? Probably not!

I mean this show....ugh... man there's no one word to describe it, is there! It's not all romp and pomp although it may seem like it. The strangest part is that for a show that's dealing with some really dark matter it (for some darn reason) refuses to take itself seriously (as @davidtennantgenderenvy wonderfully put it). I mean one minute we're dealing with woman rights, the other Matador Ole is playing while Rupert and Cameron stare each other like that.

I think it's unfair that the media constantly limited the premise of the show to its sexual aspects. The story is a clear socio-political critique of the power politics, sexual politics, and elite culture of the time and it's still quite reflective of the same things in our time too. In fact, the very fact that it disguises itself as a period piece makes it all the more applicable to our time. While watching the show I felt as if each character represents a different segment of the upper class; like Antonio Gramsci said the capitalist class is not a unified group. We have Rupert who represent the political elite, the ones that come from powerful families and then we have Declan who's the intellectual elite, Tony who's one of those new-money business elite people who will never really fit into this cult, Fred the technology millionaires, and Monica who represents that fading, waning part of old British aristocracy that was all about decorum and honour and values and virtue, something that is no longer valued in all the new kinds of elites that are springing up.

It's a very turbulent time. We're on the brisk of turning the world into the way we have it now, pulling it out of another era that is now fading away.

Rupert.... um man! Alex Hassell should be banned from playing this character because he injects more charisma in it that he deserves. I almost started liking him. And it's weird to me that his character development is fine, it's great it's wonderful, he goes from a careless heartless scoundrel to a nice caring person. The only problem I have here is what he did to Taggie in the beginning. How can someone ever possibly expect a woman to forgive a man for s3xual abuse or harassment. That's like major rizz-killer. But his friendship with Lizzie was one of the things I really liked. Made him seem so much more human.

Talking of Lizzie. My girl. My favourite character. Although if I'm being honest EVERY single woman in the show was impeccable. Every one of them ten thousand times more complicated than any male character. We need more women written by women. Sarah looks like a dumb blonde but she's not. She's just a woman who's trying to make something of her life in this male dominated world. Cameron Cook. Absolute goddess. She's powerful. She knows what she wants and how to get it. We just don't have enough ambitious women in media portrayed as "good". Ambitious women are always shown as bitches. And she's not passive in regard to her sexuality. It's her weapon and she uses it with her full agency. Monica, what can I even say about her. Perfectly embodies the crumbling grace of old aristocratic families. Beautiful performance, beyond words. Maud. Oh boy. I lowkey hated her for a bit but her last scene was so amazing.

Aaaaaaand Tony. Tell you what they should NOT let David Tennant play bad people. 'Cause he's gonna do it so good it will give you nightmares for ages. I love that he is always in command of the kind of response he wants to elicit from the audience in regard to his character especially when playing an antagonist. I mean if we compare them, Des makes you feel like you're gaping at the fucking abyss, Tom Kendrick is just awful and scary like a bad father, Kilgrave is (like the character's personality) the kind of performance where you want to hate this person bcs you know they're awful but something about them is sucking you in and you hate that feeling but you can't stop it somehow (cz that's what Kilgarve does!). For Tony he knew what he was doing. He knows how to turn on maximum rizz and then turn it off. He reels in the viewer, making them think oh this is the most charismatic human being I have ever seen (just like Tony does to other characters) and then he strikes when you're in deep.

Another interesting bit about this character was how (esp in eps 7 and 8) there's bits where you think that maybe he's not altogether bad, that maybe there's a bit of kindness and love hiding there somewhere. But then you realise there isn't. All that tenderness is deliberate. He does it on purpose because it draws people in. He cannot love because he doesn't have it in him. Everything is, for him, about social status and winning. He doesn't love his wife. He doesn't love Cameron. He just wants to have them because she feels like he didn't have the things he deserved at some point so now he's gotta have everything. Like he says "just let me have this one"; it's all about winning. Heard someone call him a cartoon villain. Nope guys he's very real. Also the only time you feel like he's being genuine is when he's being a sopping wet pathetic mess in the end.

And he's also very relatable to some extent. I get that what he goes through. His insecurities and whatever complex he has. I do. I go to a university with rich kids from filthy rich families. My parent's parents weren't rich. They just made their fortunes in the last generation and even though I get to be in the same circles as these rich pricks, I feel always (or they make me feel) left out. Like I'm an imposter. Like I could never really have any real class. And that itches a very particular itch in my brain.

As an afterthought, I think you can measure men's personalities and worthiness in terms of DT characters: On a scale of Alec Hardy to Tony Baddingham what kind of man are You!"🫵

On the whole it was a great show. Lovely music. Loved the introduction of each character and how it just lets you know what kind of person this guy/gal/person is! Wonderful cinematography and visuals. Gripping sub-plots. An what an ending! Perfect cliffhanger. And tbh I'd really like it if they left it here. To me a good story doesn't always need to be resolved. There's something to be said for those little ambiguities and uncertainties in life and all the thigs left unsaid. [and if someone is really anxious they can go read the book] Remarkable watch. ★★★★★ (5/5)

And now the reaction!
