k i woke up to thirteen unread messages, so let’s just do a fucking blanket text post covering everything so that i can go curl up by the fire with my aus and pussy eating fics in peace, yeah?

spoilers under the cut

hi, yes, hello, i’m still chill and hype

“but diz,” you say into my ask box. “how can you still be hype when kang has clearly demolished everything we’ve worked so hard for?”

because she hasn’t.

“but aren’t you tired of kang doing all this crazy, inconsistent writing? aren’t you sick of her doing everything for the shock value and not being true to the characters?”

sigh.

y’all.

don’t come for my girl like that.

call me delusional if you want, but to me all of this fits perfectly within the same narrative, which has been leading to canon from the day she took the helm. 

i have already done a thousand and one breakdowns as to why carol getting with zeke was caryl-positive, so i’m not gonna go there again, but the leah thing is too.

“but diz--”

shh, i’m still talking. 

picture this: you are a lonely, lonely man who has gone through hell and back, and it took you years to open up to your found family, only for your best friend to explode and the love of your life to go marry a guy who probably worked at medieval times to pay for college, and now you’re all alone in the woods trying to figure out wtf to do with yourself. 

you tell yourself you can keep visiting your niece and her mom now and then, but that kind of sucks bc of the aforementioned best friend exploding, and also you and your niece’s mom had to murder a bunch of small children and that tends to be kind of traumatizing to remember, so it’s not the ideal situation

but at least you still have your girl, even if she is in an indefinite LARP game for the rest of her life. 

but!

then she says, “actually, i can’t come visit you much anymore, what with the whole community, and husband, and child thing,” 

and then you are actually Alone.

and it’s for the first time, because every time before that you at least had your brother, who might have been a piece of shit, but at least he was there. 

so you meet some chick on the road. you’re sad, no longer feel like you have a family (after it took you so long to get one that you actually loved), and you’re more alone than you have ever been, and you meet this chick who is a loner like you, and you’re wary at first. the two of you don’t trust each other, bc you don’t trust easy. but over time you start to build that trust, and she offers you companionship that you are so desperately in need of, and maybe you wouldn’t usually be into it, but given the Literally Everything Else going on, it’s like, why the fuck not? you have N O T H I N G left.

so she gives you an ultimatum--her or what little is left of your family. well, your family is scattered to the wind and being around them only hurts you more, and this person is offering you a chance for something new (and when things get rly bad, hasn’t your go-to move always been to run anyway?) so you say okay. you say you’ll go.

except nvm, she ditched you, lol, you’re all alone again! sucks to suck.

skip ahead, you’re back with your family, and your og girl has dumped the LARPer, and maybe things can be good again, except there’s a bunch of people going full hannibal lecter wearing other people’s faces on their own and murdering everyone, and your og girl is actually insane rn due to years’ worth of unresolved trauma, and you’re suddenly a dad, and you’re being asked to make nice with the guy who literally tortured you, and honestly? it’d be hard enough as is to trust again, but this whole situation is NOT HELPING. 

so by the time the war ends you are tired, and you are hurt, and you are wary, because you keep losing things that matter. and you got back the one person in the world who mattered the most, except she did some super questionable shit, and you’re having a hard time reconciling it, and finally you just Lose It, bc goddamnit, you’ve earned it, mkay? you are entitled to a little blow up. if she gets to literally blow shit up then the least you can do is yell a little, like damn.

but. 

she’s the one person in the world who matters most. a rebound fling over the course of a few months =/= ten years of being soulmates. you’ll forgive her, she’ll forgive you, and the two of you will ride off into the sunset together, almost as if you were suddenly in your own spin-off show. 

what a concept?

/fin/

“alright, but diz--”

OH MY GOD HOW DO YOU STILL HAVE OBJECTIONS?

listen. here is what daryl/leah teaches us:

-daryl is willing and capable of having intimate relationships

-that being said, daryl being in a relationship has been a Big Thing for everyone, regardless of who they ship him with, since s1, so if it was supposed to be The Most Important Relationship Ever to him, the juicy parts would not happen off screen. there’s a reason the sex is only implied. they’re not showing it until it’s the Real Thing

-we now know daryl has had sex in the past ten years, so maybe he’ll actually last more than six seconds when he bones down with carol! very good!

-this also teaches us that hoo buddy, y’all have some mixed morals when it comes to these characters. the “daryl would only be in a relationship if he rly loved them, so how could he possibly love carol still?” thing is like. dude. carol is MARRIED during this, and he doesn’t get to see her much anymore. is he supposed to just walk around jacking it while crying for the rest of his life? the man tried to move on, and the tragic thing is that he got screwed over. i do not think this is out of character at all. i think daryl fell in love with carol, she got married, he was lonely, tried to move on and convince himself he could be happy with this other chick (who might be rly cool, who knows??), and then he got his heart broken again, before it ever really healed to being with. the boy is a giant bleeding heart who is getting stomped on constantly, and y’all better stop yelling at him for trying to feel better or i’ll come for you. this is like carol having rebound sex with zeke. if you want your characters to be realistic then you have to let them do human things, holy shit

this is getting excessive, let’s tie it up.

the main takeaways here are:

-no it’s not out of character

-yes it fits the narrative, kang isn’t just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, it all has a purpose, which is why i’m totes fine with it

-leah might not actually die, which thank god, i thought it was douchey of them to kill off another woman for Man Pain. i’m glad i’ve been wrong about her and connie both

-oh yeah, connie...i have no new feelings on connie

-daryl now has sexual stamina, so we can all update our headcanons now

-“i can’t believe they end the episode on such a sore note! their friendship is almost destroyed, how will it ever recover??” ...how are you surprised? that was...that was literally the description of the episode, my dude. that one didn’t exactly come out of left-field. it’ll be okay, they’re gonna make up. hopefully through a bunch of hyperbolically tragic misadventures. it’ll be a good time, calm down

-there is a FUCKING SPIN-OFF coming, how can you think they won’t reconcile?

-actually it’d be super funny if they were just giving each other the silent treatment throughout the entire thing lmfao

-“have you seen that new caryl show?” “yeah, it’s fucking weird. there’s no dialogue??”

-anyway

-does it help if i said i secretly thought they might fuck the whole time, specifically for the reasons stated above, and i’ve been kinda into it since the promo but didn’t say so bc i didn’t want to get hanged? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-idk y’all, that’s all i got. drink up ig?

i just found out that i’m literally anemic, and y’all are still more exhausting than anything else. it’s okay to just like. enjoy things. i promise.

now if you’ll excuse me, i have aus to dive head-first into. i’m not gonna say a whole bunch else about shit unless it gets rly necessary. i think i will make this blog relentlessly positive out of spite, and will just post fics and shippy gifs. i have a photoshop free trial (thatigottomakeaberniememe), mb i’ll make sappy caryl gifs as practice and bombard you all with them. feel free to come by for cheering up, but i’m not gonna repeat myself six thousand times, either

stay hype, STAN KANG, and get daryl to call carol sweetheart 2k21,

-diz

pitch for a DST compromise that will make both people who like it and people who don’t equally happy: keep moving clocks forward in spring, stop moving them backward in fall

From Teppei: "Happy birthday! It's not much but I hope it's okay!" *Tep got a signed picture of kagami's favourite basketballer <3*

happy birthday kagami taiga 2k21!

teppei handed over the large, cardboard-backed envelope with his usual humility. kagami, feeling more than a little awkward about receiving any gifts at all, rubbed the back of his head with a grimace on his face.

"oh, jeez. thanks, man. you didn't have to get me nothing though."

he glanced over to his teammates across the room, and was glad that no one seemed to be looking over at them. it eased his tension. turning back to the gift, he tore the envelope open in jagged sections, accidentally tearing further down than he'd meant. ah well, it was just the package, right? he was quick to check that he hadn't torn any of the contents. kagami slipped out the photograph and stared with respectful curiosity at having been given a photo of michael jordan. the internet exists, dude! the teenager smiled nevertheless, and was halfway to reaching out and patting teppei's shoulder when he noticed---

it was signed.

it was SIGNED.

and REAL. kagami knew how to spot a printed signature and one made with a real hand, and a real pen. this was real. it was an old picture, maybe it was an old signature too, but he also knew jordan's signature well enough to know that this wasn't faked. if it was, it was really fucking good, and he didn't want to know! the hovering hand once outstretched to his friend quickly slapped against his own forehead and he screeched. it wasn't a scream, nor a shout. more strangled. it drew the attention of the room, but he didn't care! he was two seconds away from parading around, showing it off anyway! he wanted to text his dad. kagami never wanted to text his dad.

"dude!" he was shouting and totally unaware of it. "dude! this is the coolest shit i've ever-- holy shit!" careful to avoid damaging the photograph, he hooks his arm around teppei's shoulders and drags him in close for a hug. but he couldn't take his eyes off the picture. holy shit!

when he pulled away, kagami was grinning ear-to-ear. "bro. this is the coolest gift ever. what the fuck? how did you even get it? wasn't it expensive? ah man, now i feel bad but--- i love it so much, i wanna keep it. you're an adult so i guess you have money to spend on this stuff, right?" he was looking only at mr m. jordan, fingertips glossing over the writing. "man! oh, i forgot, thank you very much!" kagami wasn't sure if he was supposed to or not, but it felt right so he bowed and then immediately ran over to the others, telling them to come bask in michael jordan's glory.

We’re on episode five if we still have no clues on the red room by the end of the series I Will Go Crazy

-Night 1

-bent neck lady looks like the mom for some reason

-Night 2

-don’t leave your kid alone stay with her for the whole night even if u have to sleep on the floor it’s better to wake up from a nightmare with someone there to comfort u especially when ur a tiny child

-bent neck lady now has the powers of levitation and denial

-Nell avoided the question about if she sees something. I noticed that! I’m not completely unobservant!

-y’know I think the weirdest sleep paralysis story I heard was when my brother said I was his sleep paralysis demon

-Arthur’s smile is… uncomfortably wide

-what’s up with the romance montage? Unless this ends in a jump scare this seems very random

-poor Nell she sounds fucking terrified :(

-more lesbien Théo for thé soul

-mom what are you doing here??? Get out of this happy occasion vengeful spirit!

-Arthur?? What the fuck??????? DID HE JUST FUCKING DIE??????

-How the fuck? Why did he just die? Can the bent neck lady do that??????? I forgot she was most likely not just a sleep paralysis demon

-awww Nell wanted a tea party cause she found a tea set 🥺

-Mom Nell didn’t do it stop being a bitch

-Theo stop vague posting and tell us who did it

-it was written behind the wallpaper ain’t that weird

-“it doesn’t matter where you do it what matters is your getting help” I love you Nell

-Luke stop forcing your sister to buy you drugs and get help you dickhead

-Luke and Nell go to fucking therapy challenge

-Luke don’t steal the pills or I will liquidate your skeleton

-OH SHIT OOOOO SHES FUCKING HERRREEE

-oh wait Nell is in therapy (it’s clearly not helping tho)

-Nell you got rid of your meds why you lying about taking them

-Theo back at it again with her magic Theo powers

-Yeah I’m with Theo the therapist is not doing that much for Nell

-Everyone in the main cast stop being vague challenge

-Let Nell vent about Steve being a bad person 2k18 (or 2k21 depending on who you ask)

-NELL STOP SAYING YOU ARE ON YOUR MEDS

-Is this the reason Nell went back to the house bc her therapist was belittling her about being scared of the house?

-don’t you just hate it when time fucking stops and you hallucinate you and your dad and your siblings #relatable

-Crain family STOP BEING VAGUE LIKE JUST FUCKING TALK THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING

-We still don’t know why Nell whispered go

-or the red room

-I thought we were about to get red room lore but it was just a tea party with no explanation as to how they got in or why they had a tea party with who I can only assume is the bent neck lady

-The actress for Nell does a really good job of playing terrified

-I’m just writing random shot so I don’t have to look at the screen

-WHY IS HE COVERED IN BLOOD

-uh oh did daddy commit murder

-“it’s just paint”

-why do adults say “it won’t be long” and then it is long like it’s at sunrise it what is clearly not winter so maybe like 6 or 7 am so it is at the very least 7 hours from then

-everyone ignores Nell and It Does Not Go Well TM

-Nell didn’t get change from the vending machine why does everyone’s life keep getting shittier

-ghost time

-I did not scream during ghost time whoever told you that is a liar ahaha

-I have to go in to my neighbours spooky backyard and water their flowers after this pray for me y’all

-“how is it 1 o’clock?” “Well you see every 60 seconds a minute passes”

-I was right that therapist is the reason she died roll credits we solved the mystery ladies and gentlemen

-WHY ARE THE HOUSE LIGHTS ON?!?!?!

-lol my cat is so cute I’m definitely not staring at her instead of the ooky spooky house show

-Is that a functional family??? IN THE HILL HOUSE??? ARE THOSE THE HILLS?!?!?!

-HOLY SHIT WE ARE AT THE PART WHERE MOM WELCOMS NELL HOME AND MY IRL MOM ACCIDENTALLY TURNED OFF THE TH THAT WAS LIKE THE MOST INOPORTUNE TIME

-Jumpscare sense is going off

-that’s not bedtime clothes Mrs. Crain

-Why is the house showing her an idealized family?

-Oh she’s dancing with Arthur in the red room that’s what dancing in the red room meant

-the fact that she will prolly die at the end of this scene makes it so much sadder

-still getting a bad vibe from this jumpscare is anticipated

-why are all the ghosts there? I thoughts the ghosts didn’t like the Craines but it looks like they’re tryna make Nell happy? Is the house trying to lull her into a false sense of security? Does it want to make her happy in her final moments? Does it want her to see this idealized version of everybody she loves and then the harsh reality of their imperfections will hit her that much harder?

-also while I have a moment what’s with the screaming statues in the intro? Are they in the red room? Cause I thought we just saw them but I don’t think she went into the red room and we see the statues she danced past in the background of a few other scenes. And they aren’t screaming like in the intro

-this just keeps getting more confusing and it makes me want to watch more but it’s also really scary and I am just confusion

-Abigail and Luke having a tea party with NOT MOM TM

-the ropes are still there dad is lazy asf

-DONT TRUST THE LOCKET

-oh no I see what is happening

-I regret not continuing to look at my cat

-OH MY GOD SHE IS HER OWN SLEEP PARALASIS DEMON

-time for flowers in the creepy back yard send thoughts and prayers

Decided to watch haunting of hill house w/ the fam and am venting all the bullshit on discord
