BeetleGert, BeetleGert, BeetleGert !!

It's the beginning of the spooky month ! Finally ! The spookiness, the ghostly stuff, the BeetleGuys, the Mansions 2 HD, the Special Halloween whatever, and the candies indigestion. What's to love ?

Anyway, with the release of this last BeetleJuice movie, it was the unavoidable move. Gertrude already have green messy hair, it basically draws itself.

The solutions to the tragedies of Hamlet and Macbeth

I just finished reading Hamlet and can't help noticing how passive Ophelia and Getrude are in comparison to other female Shakespeare characters (I think Shakespeare is making a point about patriarchy here, but anyway).

In particular, I couldn't help contrasting them to Lady Macbeth.

Then, I realised:

Switching Lady Macbeth with either Ophelia/Getrude would have averted both tragedies.

Lady Macbeth was the one who bullied Macbeth into taking action when he doubted (see her 'bash my baby's brains speech'). So, if she's gone, this is what happens in Inverness:

Macbeth: I really don't think I should kill Duncan. He's my king, and my relative and he has rewarded m lately. Besides, he is a good man.

Ophelia/Gertrude: You are absolutely right and I support you 100%. I can't believe I married such a clever man.

Macbeth: Then, it's settled. I will never murder Duncan!

Meanwhile in Denmark:

Hamlet: I don't know if I should kill my Uncle. I mean--

Lady Macbeth: What kind of a son are you that abandons the needs of his father? His spirit tasked you with this righteous act and you dare turn your back on it? You pathetic, measly coward! If I were given such a task, I would execute it and rejoice in the knowledge that I have avenged by poor, tormented father.

Hamlet: But--

Lady Macbeth: What 'but'? Are you a man? Then you must act as a man! When Claudius is partying, I will make sure that his wine is particularly strong. Then, you will sneak in and stab him when he and his guards are all in a drunken sleep. If we're clever, we can make it look like a suicide, or that his guards stabbed him.

Hamlet: . . .

Huh, a statement about Getrude. Wasn't expecting that. She's so complicated, man. Like, she did some really shitty things, but it was to save the world, but it didn't matter because none of the rituals wouldn't have worked anyway, but she didn't know that at the time. And then there's the bit of hypocrisy where she retaliated against Emma for using the other assistants as guinea pigs, yet she did some horrible stuff with her assistants too, like what she did to Michael, and Jon does acknowledge that hypocrisy. I don't know how I feel about Getrude sometimes.

Jon is just like me when it comes to trying to describe my emotions, you practically have to heimlich the words out of me, kind of a problem when I'm trying to talk to my friends or a counselor about what I'm feeling.

Jon calling Martin his reason had me giggling and kicking my feet like:

These two are so cute, I swear to God.

So.

I finished the 4th season (MAG #160)

......I'm unwell

(part 3 of my Magnus Archives experience)

Ahhhhh where do i even start???? Ok, ok I think I'll start with the lesser things

First off, right off the bat, RIP Tim. More than ever, now I know he didn't have to die and I am so so sad he did..... Flirty boi deserved so much better u^u

Martin collected many moments of badassery throughout the 3rd and 4th seasons. Im so proud of his growth. Not him burning statements and snipping back at Elias - ahhhhhh he was so coooool, I wish someone else was there so that they could tell him! And when he made Fairchild sit back down to finish answering Martin's questions, I swear I got chills!!

Anyway. I continue being a fierce Martin fan, nothing new there

What is new is my newfound adoration for Daisy. Seriously. She's my baby now. Idc what happens or who dies, she needs to end this story okay :'))))

No, im 200% serious, if Daisy doesn't survive to the end, im def going to cry. Because i can totally see her being the "sacrifice herself so that everyone else will have a chance" type.

I swear she was the only one holding the brain cell power this season –  and FINALLY, someone who's not Martin is not being a bitch to Jon!!!

I wasn’t even expecting Jon to be able to bring her back. Much less for them to become supportive avatar besties! I’m so glad the writer decided to take that turn with her. It’s really satisfying from a narrative standpoint to have Daisy of all people do a whole 180 on her standpoint with Jon.

Idk, i just really liked her this season. She deserves all the hugs. So she gets a meme :)

Basira, on the other hand, fell a bit for me, but i think that was kind of the point. She was fierce and stony and nearly zero compassionate, – very Gertrude-ish of her –  but after everything that’s happened, i can't really blame her :/

Im just here praying to everything that the cop ladies can get a modicum of a happy ending

And just so I round up the gang, im scared for Melanie... She is now blind and also has (had?) a monster as a therapist. And Georgie doesn't feel fear which makes them even less likely to sense danger if it comes for them. I hope they're able to push through whatever season 5 throws at them

Okay. So only Jon is lef now. What can i say about him tho?? I mean, i can say he's been going through it.

Like, I spent my whole time hearing this podcast lowkey making fun of him for collecting beatdowns from pretty much every character - AND IT TURNS OUT IT WASN’T EXACTLY JOKING MATTER AND WAS ACTUALLY PLOT RELEVANT??

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY AND WHY IS IT MAKING ME FEEL BAD FOR VOICES ON MY PHONE??

I just feel so bad for Jon. The guy did not deserve all of this. He really was a lamb to the slaughter—a poor wet cat, an eternal damsel in distress, the Antichrist…?

That last statement from Elias/Jonah is so good tho. Like, objectively. I love it. Not only does it take the listener in a nice little trip down memory lane - nostalgia is always fun - but its also just. So evil.

They really gave us such a sweet start – Martin and Jon bunking together in a cabin in Scotland(?) seemingly happy and it's all "uwu, they sho cute, yada yada- and then BAM!! APOCALYPSE HAS BEGUN!"

(i could literally be here for hours coming up with titles for Jon. he makes it too easy.)

Elias though...... I was spoiled that he was Jonah Magnus halfway through season 2 or so, so the reveal wasn't a big deal for me. I wonder how shattering it was for listeners when it first dropped though... At least he upped his villainy cred this season. Suits him better than the "unbothered neutral/evil stand-by" vibe he gave before.

And one last character thing, I fell in love with Peter so quickly. His lines were all gold and his delivery even more so. He just had that unflappable vibe to him. Like he didnt have a care in the world.

Oh, and him and Elias totally had ex-wives who spent the last 10 years fighting about who gets what in the divorce energy.

No, i will not elaborate.

Uhhhhh yeah. I grew to appreciate Helen more and more every time they showed up. Simon Fairchild was surprisingly fun for an old man, Gerry deserved the freaking world (thank you so much Jon for burning that page) and i think that’s kinda it on my favorite “creatures and associates”

Im super excited for this last stretch. i wonder if TMA will stick the landing. I sure hope it does, and honestly trust it will.

Anywayyyyyy, off i go for those last 40 episodes. Wish me luck!

Finish testimony, or whatever

[field-cryptobotanist]

Please tell me I misunderstood and the name and address that Sam got is different to the name and address that Gwen got and the flesh clown isn't after Gerry.

I need someone to tell me that!

How to stop the rituals of the Fears™

The Stranger: You have to find a way to disrupt the plan while being in the ritual itself and before you succumb to the matter of unbeing and being and whether your hand is still a hand you have to materialize a part of yourself and recall your existence and then fire the explosives you’ve brought to the showdown and then BOOM.

i love the IMMEDIATE switch flip in elias from the end of s2. like, he went immediately from annoying but manageable boss to full tilt villain after we hear him brutal pipe murder a man.

[tumb1rprincess]

Jesus Christ, these next-to-last episodes of this show keep getting more and more intense. So yeah, got pretty damn freaked out when there was just the calliope in the beginning and Jon is so scared and all he can do is call out for help.

Daisy going feral and killing Hope was kind of satisfying, but Breekon had the coffin with him. I think I know where she's going.

Good old Basira, thinking logically, trying to stay calm, trying to think rationally in a place where there's no logic, no rules.

Leitner and Getrude just tearing Jon down and it gets worse and worse and Jon is begging them to stop, that was so hard to listen to. But then there's that shift when the Eye kicks in and he's not scared anymore. He was on equal footing with them for a second before Tim showed up.

Tim, Tim, baby, God, everything just ends so abruptly. I just hope Nikola got fucking wrecked.
