Back from seeing The Marvels! Initial braindump ahead.

Let me first start by saying that it was…fun?

But man, I feel like it suffered from the same problem as all recent Marvel releases...pacing. I feel like this was too rushed and potentially edited down to a point where it kind of hindered the film. There wasn't enough time spent with quite a few pivotal moments (especially the heavier moments because GOD FORBID MARVEL YOU LET SOMETHING BE HEAVY WITHOUT BREEZING PAST IT IMMEDIATELY). This could have been fleshed out more in certain areas. It was too surface-level to me which is disappointing but this is a universal Marvel issue though so nothing new here.

Brie + Teyonah + Iman had great chemistry. Loved every bit of it. I mean the training montage was cute.

Fight choreography was fun to watch (effects were a little rough during all the switching though).

IT'S NICE TO SEE FURY BE SILLY AGAIN. He's only like this with Carol and I love it so much but I still wanted more of those two. Their little banter/argument on the ship was hilarious I just wanted more of them because I love their dynamic so much.

Goose is a goddamn menace.

Dar-Benn, while another forgettable villain...I get her motive but still murder. Again, I wish she was fleshed out more because she really did have a legit reason to be pissed at Captain Marvel

Valkyrie/Carol was total fanservice AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN. YOU GOT ME. FANFIC WRITERS TAG ME I WANT IT ALL. THERE WAS NOTHING STRAIGHT ABOUT THAT MOMENT. I NEED DETAILS NOW LADIES.

Guys...I'm just going to say it. I hated the Aladin (Aladna? what was it called? THE WATER PLANET) scene. It was just too cringe for me. Not a fan.

I KNEW Carol was on Earth with Maria while Monica was blipped. It didn't make sense for her not to be. But again, thanks to that good ol' Marvel pacing, WE JUST BREEZED PAST THIS PIVOTAL REVEAL AND I AM STILL ANNOYED ABOUT IT. Also? Endgame haircut reason confirmed.

Oh and Goose being with Maria the whole time...ugh my heart.

Kamala recruiting the Young Avengers is adorable and I LOVE THAT KATE IS FIRST MY GIRL I'VE MISSED HER.

I wish I could get excited about X-men but I don't trust Marvel right now.

Carol wrestling with the consequences of her actions (and the damage she’s caused, being known as “annihilator” across the universe and the guilt that comes with that)…again, I wish they would have spent more time with this because that's a central character attribute of hers that should be explored deeper. There’s so much meat there and I’m just left here starving. Like, the moment when she yells at Kamala about how they have to save as many Skrulls as they can which isn’t all…that’s a big-time Captain call that once again, has consequences and fallout. THIS IS THE CONTENT I WANT. Maybe if she had her own proper sequel which we probably won't ever get now. Do I sound bitter?

I'm seeing it again on Saturday (is it bad I don’t really feel compelled to though now) so now that I know what happens maybe I can settle and enjoy it more? I don’t know. Like I said in the beginning, it was fun, light, charming…but overall? This came across too superficial to me. I mean I’m not asking for a 3 hour movie just more depth. I just love Carol Danvers so much, I’ll always want more okay??

Before I wrap this up though, SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO WARDROBE. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE CROPS TOPS AND THOSE DAMN RED GYM SHORTS. YOU DID A GIRL GOOD.

Just another NHIE love triangle analysis of the s2 finale

The season 2 finale, while easily presented as a win for Team Daxt0n, genuinely feels like more of a win for Benvi to me. I'm speaking thematically, narratively, and the messages/implications that are found within both the episode and the season as a whole.

Buckle in, kids. We're going for a deep dive.

(obligatory disclaimer that this is a Benvi post and is my personal opinion, which I would like to respectfully share without rude additions from those who disagree. Thank you, that is all💜)

One of the themes I immediately noticed throughout season 2 is the importance of not compromising who you are/what you deserve in a relationship. We see variations of this theme in Eleanor/Malcolm, Fab/Eve, Kamala/Prashant, and if you stretch your thinking (placing the focus on individual needs rather than 'as a unit') we could also include Nalini/Chris in this category. Coincidentally, in regards to Daxt0n, we get these quotes from Ben and dream!Mohan in the finale (this has been mentioned before by @leaderofthebadguys):

You could easily make the argument that Paxton rectified this/'broke the pattern' by showing up to the dance. For me, it says more that the majority of Paxton's role in the finale was spent ignoring Devi in public, even giving her an ultimatum to keep their fling a secret. This directly contradicts the message that's being pushed via other relationships this season (it isn't new behavior for Paxton, either, as the season 1 finale found him in a similar position ["blowing Devi off", per Rebecca]). Not only is this what happens throughout the episode, but the dialogue points it out to us time and time again. Is it to increase the impact when Paxton does show up at the end? Maybe. Or is it planting the idea that Paxton doesn't quite align with Devi in this way?

Something else I noticed (the subliminal messaging of which leans me towards the latter) is how a lot of the important notes in Paxton's storyline in the s2 finale are things that Ben has already done.

Now one of my favorite, and arguably one of the most pivotal, Ben/Devi scenes is the one in the bathroom. After seeing Devi walk away from Paxton in the hallway, devastated, Ben follows her into the girls' room and says a few words to comfort her. Devi pauses, then exits the stall she's been hiding in to continue talking with him.

Then a few moments later, she says this:

Within seconds of each other, the show has just told us two very important things:

Devi is reluctant to let Paxton see that he made her cry, as she fears he'd think it's 'pathetic' - yet when Ben showed up with just a few encouraging words, she actively chose to step out of her stall and speak with him. Face-to-face. While crying. I'm highlighting the words 'actively chose' here because I feel this is the key element - Paxton has seen her cry, too, but never by Devi's own choice. The subtext in this scene shows us that she still has that inauthentic mindset, that fear of imperfection when it comes to Paxton, whereas she already feels safe being vulnerable in front of Ben.

Not to say that hypothetically this could NEVER change with Paxton, as it reflects Devi's insecurity more than anything. But I think the show has been really smart with its portrayal of Paxton's reserved personality in contrast to the emotional candor of Ben. It paints neither as the bad guy, but provides interesting and (I think) significant parallels in how they communicate with Devi and vice-versa.

In other words, I personally think it's unlikely that Devi will ever feel as comfortable pouring her heart out to Paxton as she already is with Ben (based on the way they respond in emotional situations).

One last note about the bathroom scene: this might be a stretch, but on a smaller scale you could compare Ben entering the girls' bathroom (s2 finale) with his driving unlicensed on the highway (s1 finale) - he's willing to step outside the box and potentially face consequences, major or minor as they may be, for Devi, with very little hesitation.

(The Ben screenshots here are out of order, but) there is kind of a verbal parallel in the way both boys ask her out. Not anything massive to glean from this, but in both cases there's a mention of "saying" something, which sort of contextualizes how they're approaching their proposition to Devi. Ben is offering the unconditional understanding that, ultimately, after laying all his cards on the table, the decision is Devi's to make. Paxton is referencing something - would this be considered an inside joke? - that both he and Devi are aware is something he's struggled with, but in a renewed and lighthearted manner. I'm not really here to pit them against each other with this one, I Just Think It's Neat.

Now THE DANCE. Hoo boy, the dance.

This is another point that has been talked about in other posts before, but because I positively HAVE to bring it up:

Ben and Devi wearing the exact same shade of blue to the dance is VITAL, okay, I won't take criticism on this! You can look up stuff about wardrobing symbolism and color theories if you want (I'm not really qualified to talk about it in detail), but this is like a legit Thing in film and television, often used to convey connection or synchronicity between two characters. Ben and Devi's color matching in this instance becomes especially apparent when juxtaposed against the colors of their respective dates - Ben (blue) // Aneesa (dark green), Devi (blue) // Paxton (black & white). Is it possible that this is some kind of buckwild coincidence in the wardrobing department? 🤷‍♀️ Sure, anything's possible. But the notion that this was an intentional choice is far more plausible.

Their outfits in this scene may not be actual characterization choices, but it's likely symbolic on a higher level, as with many other reasons I prefer Ben/Devi (and why I believe them to have the stronger endgame narrative setup).

The other major thing we learn from the dance is, perhaps more clearly than ever before, neither Ben or Devi are actually over each other.

It was so difficult to choose only (2) frames from this moment because, God, these looks are so loaded. You can't see those faces and genuinely Not Think they're both still into each other to some degree.

First we have Ben. His initial laughter eventually melts into THIS expression - it's affectionate, it's intense, it's got that Jaren Longing Look(TM) energy that we know and love. He takes a step closer to Devi, almost involuntarily, like some gravitational pull took hold and drew him in to her.

Then there's Devi, and the main word that comes to mind for me re: her face here is hope. She catches the way he's looking at her. Her eyebrows lift expectantly, and for a second her breath actually hitches. Everything about her in this moment is positively sparking with wishful thinking.

For me it's the way Devi was STILL naively hoping she might have a chance with Ben at this point, spotlighted by the following shots of Ben dancing with Aneesa & Devi's crestfallen face. This look could be interpreted as Devi simply being hit with the loneliness of not having a ""real"" date (this is actually supported by the bg lyric "I came here alone"). But it's safe to say that Ben in particular is on her mind given that she JUST turned away from him and Aneesa - her sadness about being alone is further emphasized by this reminder that the boy she just shared a heart-stopping moment with is dancing with someone else.

As a final fyi, all biases aside, I want to put it out there that Devi has still yet to choose between Ben and Paxton. She does not choose Paxton at the end of season 2. Paxton makes that choice, which Devi accepts (duh!) - but her moment with Ben just minutes prior makes it obvious that if Ben weren't with Aneesa, and if Ben were the one who asked to be her boyfriend that night, Devi would have accepted in a heartbeat.

#a lot of this is just me addressing the ~valid daxt0n takes while explaining why my perspective is different #tv is an interpretative form of media... there r some valid daxt0n takes. i just don't agree with them. which i discussed. i have rights 😂#benvi #bevi #ben x devi #devi x ben #never have i ever #*success

Girl’s Talk

Natasha Romanoff x Carol Danvers

Word count: 1.5k

Summary: Kamala is introduced to Yelena, and she’s also the biggest fan of her sister’s ship- CarolNat.

Warning: Fluff, Protective Yelena, Kamala ships CarolNat, Slight Thor/Loki(mentioned)

a/n: Just random pieces written after having my covid vaccine yesterday lol I’m not sure how will Marvel deal with Kamala’s superpower in the upcoming series so I only mention a bit of it. Enjoy!

“Ok, can anyone tell me why we always have a new kid in the compound?”

Yelena puffed as she entered the compound a bit later than usual, and she saw her sister, Carol and an unfamiliar teenager already standing there.

She came over to join them, gazing at the new girl with distrust.

“Yelena, did you just call yourself in the third person?” Carol teased, and she shrugged suggestively to the redhead who actually couldn’t hold her laugh back for this moment.

“Ha, is it some kind of 90’s joke?” Yelena retaliated. Apparently the younger blonde didn’t get enough sleep hours last night, it always resulted in her grumpy reactions to anybody. “If so, Captain, you really need to update your comedy list on Netflix.”

“Hey,” Natasha chuckled amusedly between the two blonde women as Carol protested, “just because I aged slowly, it didn’t mean I’m out of date.”

“In case you wanna know,” Natasha raised one brow and showed her support to the blonde Captain- “She actually likes to watch The Tonight Show during our dinner time.”

-by telling their sort-of secret aloud. It’s not gonna harm the redhead spy herself, though.

“What?” Kamala finally had a chance to let out her voice, “you can’t tell me the mighty Captain Marvel, my idol, watches late-night talk shows when having some spaghetti. It’s simply out of character.”

Carol frowned, “excuse me?”

“Ugh, ok.” Yelena opened her mouth with hesitation. “No, not ok, I don’t get it. Did you just call her- ” her head was pointing to the other blonde woman, “- your idol ?”

“Am I supposed to feel offended?” Carol mumbled nearby Natasha’s ear, lowering her voice to avoid any foreseeable conflict for now.

“Um, yeah.” Kamala rolled her eyes to the much taller woman standing right in front of her, and her voice sounded genuinely fearless. “Can’t you see that? She’s Carol Danvers!”

Natasha grinned back at the blonde woman, and only teased quietly, “see, someone really has a crush on you.”

Carol blushed in the tiniest way, opening her mouth slightly but had no idea what to argue. Our Captain couldn’t even tell if the redhead was seriously jealous. Fantastic.

“So you like the name or the glowing part?” Yelena hummed, and tried to hide the little noises from her stomach out of hunger.

“All of them, I guess?”

“Oh, I got it now.” The younger widow turned to her sister, and was not surprised that Natasha had been checking on her already. “We’re having a superhero fan tour here.”

Yelena wanted to get her breakfast as soon as possible, so she tried to be nice and not to get involved in this duty. “Enjoy your day then, just don’t touch any fluffy things around here. The cat can literally swallow people, and the raccoon will shoot you in the head.”

“What? No!” The brown haired girl shouted, “I’m not here for a tour.”

“Yelena, she’s a new member in the team- ” Agent Romanoff finally introduced, and took a quick glance at Carol with a playful smile. “- another one with super power, yes.”

“…wait, what?”

“Not that kind of power to control thunder like Thor or to trick like Loki- by the way, aren’t they a lovely couple?” Kamala explained a little bit, and suddenly changed the subject triggered by her interest.

“Ugh, it’s not officially announced.” Natasha was surprised to hear the little girl’s words, a status that not many people had learned about- even in the avengers’ team.

Impressed. Yelena stared at the kid and thought, still needed her breakfast, though.

“New kids.” Carol shrugged, “we’re actually talking about tomorrow’s mission.”

The redhead immediately started glaring at the blonde Captain.

“You’re leaving for days? Tomorrow?” And Yelena tiled her head to her older sister. She’d better not be the last person to know this.

Clearly someone had forgotten their domestic plan for tomorrow.

“Well, not ‘for days’, I’ll be back before you know it. At least that was the plan.” Natasha looked a bit…nervous, but not speechless. By her side, the Captain who’s in charge of the mission seemed to be awkward for a minute, and they shared a look of silent communication.

“Yelena, you’re welcomed to- ”

“Uh- uh, no. I’m not interested in being the third wheel in your mission date. Besides, I’ve got my own thing to deal with as well. Just remember to pick me up at 8, and feed Fanny before you leave the house, it’s your turn.” Yelena shook her head quickly like nothing’s gonna convince her, and the other young superhero goggled upon hearing some keywords.

“Wait, you two are dating? ” Kamala asked in excitement, “oh my god, CarolNat is real.”

“Well, it’s- we’re…” the blonde Captain suddenly stuttered, “we’re close, yes. That’s true.”

Natasha rolled her eyes back to show her feedback towards Carol’s explanation, and refused to make any eye contact with her sister who just accidentally sold their privacy to the newest avenger.

“Oh, I thought that was your superpower.” Yelena shrugged to the two older women, kind of feeling sorry for the coming out declaration she made for them. “Like, telling the lovebirds in a group of people.”

Kamala gave her a ‘seriously?’ look, “nobody owns a superpower like that.”

“You never can tell.”

“Ok, things got a little tense here.” Carol tried to calm them both down before they made a wrong impression on each other. “It’s time for breakfast, how about I make you guys some really nice omelette?”

“Oh God.” Natasha sighed exaggeratedly, but she didn’t deny the purpose. When Carol turned, she just pushed her sister’s shoulder and forced the younger blonde to follow. “C’mon Yelena, you love eggs.”

“I never said that.”

“Wow, Captain Marvel is making me an omelette…am I dreaming?”

“Never had a nightmare before?”

“Yelena!”

“So…”

A half hour later, Yelena was staring at her plate and trying to figure out why it’s not like a normal ‘omelette’ she had seen on television. “In what universe an omelette looks like this?”

“Well, it’s not that bad.” Natasha took a bite of hers, perfectly ignoring the fact that it resembled more scrambled eggs rather than an omelette.

“Stop being rude- ”As they both saw Carol and Kamala on their way to the table, Natasha squeezed her sister’s hand and ordered softly, “and tomorrow I promise to buy you the expensive tweed coat you always stare at in the display window.”

“Huh, it’s exactly why I really can’t stand to undergo a mission with you two. Deal.” Yelena sounded mockingly but she didn’t mean to embarrass her anyway. “You turned weak, Natasha. You knew it, right?”

Natasha only hummed in russian as a response (something like ‘you’d know that when we spar’ ), and grinned when Carol sat next to her as usual. The blonde Captain was finally done with cooking everyone’s breakfast and Kamala had surprisingly finished hers, only sipping a glass of apple juice.

“So, how did you meet?” Said Kamala, aka the newest avenger with extraordinary attention to the secret pairs around the base, “how long have you been dating- I wanna know the whole story.”

“Here we go.” This was the best reaction for Yelena to ‘stop being rude’.

“Well, first of all, I won’t deny or admit any statement of it…” Natasha cleaned her throat and started, her sweet butter sandwich was left on the plate.

“We’re apparently colleagues.” Carol promptly interrupted with a shrug, which made the redhead widen her green eyes in disbelief.

“I met her after the snap, and during the five years, the feelings just kinda grew on us.” The blonde smiled gently as she took Natasha’s hand, “after the end of the war, we started hanging out once a month like normal people, later on it began to be once a week as my main works in space were separated to the new-trained protectors and the Guardians. That’s it.”

Kamala was literally speechless, looking like she just got the best Christmas gift for this year.

“If you kiss her like those cliched soap operas now, I’m gonna kill you both.” Yelena did like the eggs, but obviously she wouldn’t say it. Instead, she ate it up and mumbled her statement after hearing the shorter version of their romance.

“Yelena.” Natasha raised one of her brows, reminding her who’s in charge on this table. And their deals .

“Alright, just kidding.”

“Can I take a picture when you do that?” Kamala immediately stood up and asked Carol, it seemed no one actually cared about the debriefing of tomorrow’s mission anymore. “-when you kiss Black Widow.”

Her Captain was flushed, “w-what?”

To save her partner from the short circus situation, Natasha rolled her eyes and pulled Carol’s arm all in a sudden. All Kamala could do was open her mouth widely in amazement, and tried hard not to scream like a fan who was completely out of control.

Natasha left a rough kiss on the corner of Carol’s lips, her blood red lipstick stained slightly on it.

“Satisfied?” She said with an impeccable grin, leaving the flummoxed blonde behind her.

“This place is harmful for my heart.” - the newest superhero from Jersey City claimed.

“You’re gonna get used to it, kid.” - and the former widow from the red room finally agreed with her.

“I should have stopped leaking the key information.” - the blonde Captain knew it deeply that Natasha’s not gonna take it easy on her tonight.

The fics with * I consider to be my best works.

TSC

📜 The Last Hours 📜

THOMASTAIR

* Light - Thomas dies in a battle but he returns as a ghost to look after Alastair.

I do not love you - “Did you miss him?” He asked, his voice trembling a bit. His whole body was frozen in anticipation. In his soul was burning a little flame of hope. One pathetic, painful hope. Alastair looked him in the eyes and without a flinch said, “All the time.”

* In Henry's laboratory - The scene in ChoG where Thomas and Alastair make the antidote in Henry's lab!

* “What if Paris was the first time we’d met?” - Modern College AU! What if Alastair and Thomas met for the first time in Paris?

* The Sanctuary - Rewriting the scene in the Sanctuary from the Alastair’s POV

* “I’m leaving.” “Of course you are, that’s all you know how to do.” - “Alastair shook his head. “I can't,” he ran a hand through his hair. “I don't want to argue with you.” “We're already arguing!” Thomas said. “Why is it so hard for you to have one dinner with me, Alastair? Even for an hour?”

* Tale of the Prince and the Servant || Royal AU - After an exhausting day Thomas goes to his favorite place - a forgotten gazebo in the royal garden. But then someone accidentally finds it too. Prince Alastair doesn't expect that he wouldn't be recognized in the dark. But this gives him an opportunity to talk with someone else without being treated like a royal. Night after night they meet at the gazebo, unable to see the face of the other but inevitably falling for each other.

* Tale of Knights and Secrets - sequel to Tale of the Prince and the Servant (can be read on it's own), following Thomas and Alastair as they, together with Kamala and Grace, go back to Thomas' old home and queendom, trying to unncover a conspiracy

* A KIND OF MAGIC - Chapter 1 • Chapter 2 • Chapter 3 • Chapter 4 • Chapter 5 • Chapter 6 • Chapter 7 • Chapter 8 • Epilogue - Chain of gold but if Alastair had broken up with Charles before meeting Thomas in London. (It follows different fantasy plot tho)

Ten bucks and a date - “I disagree,” Alastair raised an eyebrow. “You know what? Let's bet.” “Okay,” Thomas said with a laugh. “What is the bet?” “If you lose,” Alastair said. “You owe me ten bucks.” “And if you lose,” Thomas said with sparkling eyes. “You owe ten bucks and a date.” Alastair's heart jumped. He grinned. “Deal.”

Kissing tears from the other’s face - “Leave me alone,” he looked away. “I don't want you here.” Thomas flinched. Alastair's words were cruel but Thomas knew better than to believe them.

Tentative kisses given in the dark - For a long moment, he looked so painfully unsure that Alastair felt hurt himself. He took one more step toward Alastair, in the shadows, and looked at him. His eyes were searching his face, for what Alastair didn't know. He only hoped Thomas wasn't going to find something that would hurt him.

One person has to bend down in order to kiss their partner, who is standing on their tip-toes to reach their partner’s - “You knew perfectly well I was mean when we got together!”

Short and sweet kiss after meeting up for a date - “Guys,” James said. His friends turned to him. “This is stupid. We should leave.” Matthew looked scandalized. “How could you say such a thing?We're here to see if this random, untrustworthy looking guy is good enough for our Thomas. We can't-” He suddenly turned to them. “They're leaving!”

A kiss, followed by more that trail down the jaw and neck - Thomastair from the Academy time

A kiss pressed to the top of the head - Alastair leaned on him, exhaling. “I just hate that of all days, it had to happen on our anniversary,” he murmured. “I wanted this day to be perfect.”

WLW / OTHER SHIPS

* Tenderness || Anna x Grace - “Don’t be so gentle with me,” she whispered. Anna stopped. She slowly moved her head and whispered in Grace’s ear, “Then what do you want me to do?” Grace let out tremble sigh. She slid her arms around Anna’s waist. “Tear me apart.”

A love letter from Ariadne to Anna - I was on the verge of giving it up. And then I heard you. While I was sick I heard you asking me not to die. It may sounds funny but this is the most romantic thing I have ever heard. Maybe it had nothing to do with the words themselves but with the fact that they came from you.

Beautiful hair || Jordelia - “James tried to focus his eyes on her. He knew how she looked. It wasn't from a photo because Lucie said she hate to be photographed but he had heard what she was looking like. Lucie had talked about it, the rest of the Merry Thieves had also met her. The only one who still hasn't met the famous new friend of his sister was James and actually this had to happen this evening. And it was happening now but probably it would be better if James wasn't drank.”

* Sweet as sin || Arianna - “Why are you here Ari?” Anna asked after a few minutes of intense silence. What she could say? That today was the anniversary of her parents' death? That she missed her father calling her dulārā? That she wanted Anna to hug her so badly that she could cry?”

* Alone || Grace Blackthorn - “As she entered the carriage, Grace wished she could talk with Jesse. The daylight made the thought of him seem like a dream and Grace couldn’t bear it. But when she saw who was waiting inside, Grace relaxed a little. It was Christopher Lightwood.”

Braver || Thomas Lightwood (with a special guest Magnus Bane) - “Alastair looked at Magnus first, then at Thomas. Sighed. “Fine, I'm coming too.” Thomas felt relief when he heard that. For reasons he couldn't explain, he wanted Alastair to come with them. With Thomas.”

* The Weight of Love || Young Thomas Lightwood - it follows young Thomas throughout different stages of his life pre-Spain - how he feels about his overprotective family, different aspects of being a Shadowhunter and the short time spent with Alastair.

“You broke me.” || Grace Blackthorn - “The left side of Grace's face was burning from the slap of her mother. Tatiana was looking at her angrily, with clenched fists. “Get up.””

“I didn’t know where else to go.” || Christopher Lightwood - After Barbara dies and Thomas goes to live with the Lightwood-Herondale family.

* BLACKTHORN DETECTIVE AGENCY || KitTy - Part 1 • Part 2 • Part 3 • Part 4 - Sherlock AU! Slow burn(-ish). Kit had just returned in London and needs money. Ty is a detective known as Sherlock Holmes who needs a new partner.

Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 4 features numerous television series that fans are looking forward to. While WandaVision kicks off MCU Phase 4 this weekend, the phase also features shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, What If...?, Loki, She-Hulk, Hawkeye and Ms Marvel. While we've been hearing updates about the series over the past few weeks, our hearts sprung with joy when we learned an Indian actor was a part of one of these series. It was previously revealed that Bollywood actor Mohan Kapur will star in Ms Marvel.

The actor, who was seen in Sadak 2 last year, will play Kamala Khan aka Ms Marvel's father on the show. Soon after the announcement, Pinkvilla caught up with Mohan for a quick chat about the project and his experience of working with Marvel Studios. The B-town star recalled learning about the casting during the lockdown and he auditioned for the role with the help of his friend.

"I requested a friend because the audition part was between me and my daughter, I called a male friend of mine and said, 'yaar please come with your mask and all, and help me shoot this audition.' He was very kind and he came over we shot the audition. That was on August 12th and we sent it. The casting director at Marvel loved it so it just (worked). October I flew and we began filming in the first week of November," he recalled.

"I am playing the father, it is a really nice role and I can relate to it, not that I am a father (laughs) but I have played a lot of these kinds of roles in India too. But this one is special," he added. Before making his way to the sets, Mohan revealed he was sent the Ms Marvel comics and connected with Ms Marvel's co-creator Sana Amanat digitally. Once he landed in Atlanta, the actor met the team and carried out readings with them. However, Mohan added, the team couldn't socialise due to COVID-19.

"The whole cast sat together, we had readings for the episodes. There wasn't much we could socialise, we would have all loved to go out for dinners and things like that. But we were all under very strict quarantine, and we still are. Of course, it is basically up to us to be responsible and everyone in the cast and crew also, they are all being responsible," he said. Mohan added that Marvel is strict with the COVID measures on sets. While a COVID officer is always on sets, governing the shoot, the cast and crew also take a COVID-19 test thrice a week to ensure safety.

While Ms Marvel marks Mohan's first Hollywood acting project, he is also possibly the first Bollywood actor to star in a Marvel Studios project. Talking about the milestone, Mohan said he is blessed to be working in Hollywood and in a Marvel project is like godsent. "For me, of course, I am representing my country, but I am also representing my film industry on whose stepping stones over the years has led me to come and let me be a part of this. I am not a sportsman but I feel like a sportsman in the acting arena, it feels really proud that I am representing my country. So everything I do, it should be of calibre. It feels damn good," he said.

Although Mohan encountered numerous new people on the sets of Ms Marvel, the actor experienced a sense of familiarity courtesy his co-star Zenobia Shroff, who plays Kamala's mother on the show. "The lady playing my wife, Zenobia Shroff, is from Mumbai. She is Parsi from Mumbai. She has been tutored in theatre by Pearl Padamsee and I have done theatre with Pearl and her daughter Raell Padamsee. When we started comparing notes, we realised that we have so many friends in common," he said.

Ms Marvel is being shot at the Trilith Studios in Atlanta. The location has doubled up as a venue for several other Marvel Studios, including Loki. Asked if he crossed paths with any other MCU star at the studio, Mohan recalled an incident involving Tom Hiddleston. "We are shooting in the same studios, Pinewood Studios, it has got different floors. We are on stage 9. One day, this was when we were still doing readings, we were all just standing and waiting for our vans to come and head back home. Suddenly someone from the sets comes and asks, 'Hey, did you see them?' I asked, 'See who?' 'The guys who just went cycling by?' I said 'I saw two people, everyone's in masks.' (I was informed) it was Tom Hiddleston. I said, 'What? Tom Hiddleston, you mean Loki?' Arre yaar, yeh mask ne toh jeena haram kar rakha hai yaar, main bhaag ke uska autograph leta, I would have taken a selfie and all of that," he said.

He also added that Jason Bateman is living in the building the MCU actor resides at. But he hasn't met anyone due to the COVID bubble. "I haven't bumped into anybody due to this mask," he adds. Asked if we could see any of the MCU actors appearing in Ms Marvel, Mohan said he wasn't aware of such a development as of yet. "There are chances of cameos but we don't know," he said.

If I Rewrote (Blackwater)

The wind blew over the cliff that the Quileute boys used to jump off of when they were young. Things were quiet now. The town was quiet. A lot of the elders had grown ill from the coronavirus, and a lot of the residents in the neighboring town of La Push had moved away because of the rampant forest fires.

Leah kicked her feet over the cliff that she was comfortably perched atop. She loosely held a book in her hands ‘Breaking Dawn’. She had finally finished the whole series. The only thing left to read was ‘Midnight Sun’ and Leah could not care less.

She heard Jacob’s soft but firm footsteps come up behind her. They paid homage to who he was: strong but gently; large but kind. He plopped down on the cliff next to Leah and let his legs swing like hers did.

“How are you Lebron?” Leah joked, before she nuzzled her best friend and alpha in a sincere hug. She was always happy to see him when he got a moment away from the Cullens.

“You know, I’m two inches shorter than Lebron, and I don’t play basketball.” Jacob smiled his warm goofy smile that made Leah’s heart flutter without hesitation.

“What are you reading?” Jacob asked as he leaned in for the book. Leah teasingly moved it away from him, but being nine inches taller than her, her easily leaned across her and took it.

“Breaking Dawn? What’s it about?” Jacob looked at the cover quizzically.

“It’s about us.” Leah spoke honestly with a shrug. “Really, it’s about the Cullen’s. We are more of supporting characters in their story.”

Jacob raised his brow in surprise, but not as much surprise as she expected him to have.

“So… She’s like one of the Fates to us?” He pressed for further clarification. “Wow, I am impressed ‘almighty alpha’. You’ve been spending a lot of time with Edward if you know about the Fates from Greek Mythology…”

“But yeah,” Leah spoke somewhat somberly. “She is like a Fate to us. Either that or she’s a really creepy stalker who’s obsessed with vampires and shapeshifters…. I’m actually hoping that she’s a Fate.”

Jake’s eyes widened, and he looked into his best friend’s stunning hazel eyes.

“Why…?” Jacob shook his head.

“Because the way our lives have turned out… I would rather believe that unbeknownst to us, someone altered our lives on pen and paper, then that we made these decisions on our own.”

Jacob’s frown deepened even further.

“I still do not understand… Wouldn’t it be better if we were making our own choices. Shouldn’t the real joy be in that?”

“Yes and no, because now that we know that our story is written up until the point that we all were about twenty years old, we also now know that we have the power to write our own stories going forward.”

Leah took the book back from Jacob and chucked it off the cliff.

“I don’t like that story.” Leah smiled thoughtfully, before she gently interwove her fingers with Jacob’s. “That story wasn’t fair to us. It wasn’t fair to you, me, Seth, Sam, Emily, your dad, my dad or the Quileute tribe.”

Jacob wondered if Leah still wanted to be with Sam. She hadn’t given any indication that she did for almost a decade now, and Sam and Emily now had teenage kids, but…

“Not only do I not like that story, but I think if that story was written today at the end of 2020, that it would be so immutably politically incorrect.”

“I mean a book about vampires and werewolves. In which, the only people of color (indigenous people, I might add), are known for turning into giant dogs. The whole story is revolved around a white girl falling in love with a vampire, as you are so desperately in love with her, only for you and your whole back to become subservient to her entire family forever.”

“I mean… that sounds a little…”

Leah paused. She could feel Jacob tensing beside her, and she feared that he was becoming pissed. Though Leah’s attitude had larger changed for the better over the last decade and a half, a lot of people gave Leah a lot of flack about being outspoken about both the reservation and the Cullen’s. Aside from Leah’s brother Seth, Jacob was the only one she could confide in.

“Archaic, white savior, dripping with white privilege and a colonist mentality…” Jacob answered.

Leah’s eyes widened, and Jacob gently kissed the back of her hand and looked at her lovingly.

“Alice gave me all four of the books to read back in 2015. She told me that she felt that I deserved to know. When I first read the books, I was taken aback for a few years. With Trump being president, I decided not to tell anybody, because I wondered if we could ever live in a better world than this.” He pulled out the book ‘New Moon’ from his drawstring bag.

“However, when Kamala Harris became the first Indian American woman to be elected to the Vice Presidency of the United States of America and all of those indigenous women were elected to congress…” Tears brimmed at Jacob’s eyes. “I had to believe that better was possible. And you’re so outspoken, that you were the first and only person I wanted to share this with.”

“You left me the books to find.” Leah’s eyes widened in amazement. Jacob warmly nodded.

“And you’re right.” Jacob agreed. “I hate this story.” He laughed as he took ‘New Moon’ and chucked it off the cliff with ‘Breaking Dawn’.

“I love Renesmee. I love the Cullens. I love being a wolf, and I love being alpha. However, the Cullen’s and other white people come and go because this is not their home. But this is our home, and this is my life. So, we cannot be driven out by vampires or forest fires. I want to believe in and build a better world for my sons and daughters and my brothers’ sons and daughters. I want to believe that I am in control of my own life, and our want to be someone that our children look up to.”

“I don’t want these books…” Jacob pulled out ‘Twilight’ and ‘Eclipse’ “To define who we can be…” Jacob shook his head ‘no’. “I don’t want to be broken hearted and I don’t want to follow the Cullens around the world. I don’t want to be the guy in that damned book. I mean I would never have left you all, my pack, my family to die when the Vulture attacked just to save Nessie. I would have found another way to save Nessie, but I wouldn’t not sacrifice the people I love who love me.” Jacob threw ‘Eclipse’ off the cliff even though he knew that fight with the Vulture was in ‘Breaking Dawn’

“I want to make change right here and right now, and I also want to have a family of my own. I’m done putting my life on the backburner….”

“With Renesmee…?” Leah asked.

Jacob lost his concentration and raised his brow before he realized what Leah meant. He smiled and laughed his big, beautiful laugh that had the power to make Leah’s heart break.

“With you.” Jacob spoke with the utmost certainty. “If you will have me…”

Suddenly, Leah became more aware of Jacob’s hand in her own.

“I love you Leah Clearwater.” He smiled, “And if I could rewrite ‘Breaking Dawn’, I would rewrite it being married to you.”

Leah’s heart skipped a beat and tears came to her eyes. Her cheeks flushed red and she covered her mouth in surprise.

“I love you too Jacob. I love you so much.”

“If you could rewrite ‘Breaking Dawn’, how would you rewrite it?” Jacob laughed.

Leah took ‘Twilight’ out of Jacob’s hands and look at it one last time, before she tossed off the cliff with the other books where it belonged.

“Being married to you.” Leah breathed.

With those final words, the two tenderly embraced and kissed.

Weak of Heart

I'm a guy who loves a great legacy character. Cassandra Cain, Jaime Reyes, Jessica Cruz, and Helena Wayne, are favorites. Ben Reily, Kate Bishop, Robbie Reyes, and Carol Danvers, are also worth mentioning on the Marvel side of things. Hell, Laura Kinney is top ten all time for me. When you want to extend the mythos and shake up the continuity, bringing in a Legacy character is a great way to do that. If it's done properly. When it's not, you get Riri Williams. I don’t care for Riri Williams. The fact that Ironheart is getting a show chaffs me to no end, man. Now, before you label me ass a self hating black person, i need to be clear; I don’t like Riri because she’s a non-character Mary Sue, not because she’s black or a replacement for Tony Stark. Riri has the dubious honor of being the poster child for lazy, woke, virtue signaling, comics of the early Tens that plagued the industry. Cats, especially at Marvel, were more interested in pushing agenda and forcing diversity rather than writing dope stories. I can;t say that all of those narrative were sh*t because i did enjoy a few. I rather liked the Mockingbird run but i assume i am in the minority on that, considering all of the ridiculous discourse around “Ask me about my feminist agenda.” Admittedly, i didn’t evade the sting of this whole virtue signal renaissance as my darling Carol Danvers became this total b*tch with a dude’s haircut around this time. For me, Ms. Marvel was one of the best things about that Mighty run of the early Aughts but, you know, superheroes can’t be hot anymore because of Patriarchy or some sh*t even though they are, legitimately Olympic level athletes with bodies to match but okay. I’m getting a little off-topic here, my point is that Ironheart is the worst of this super-woke stunt writing and i hate her for it. he most frustrating thing about all of this? It’s worked before.

Kamala Khan is a similar Legacy introduced around the same time as Riri If i remember correctly, she predates Ironheart by a few years and was met with similar resistance from the fandom. Being very much Pakistani and very much Muslim, Kamala got ALL of the xenophobic, racist, and islamaphobic hate. It was very transparent how f*cking dumb that sh*t was but, over time, she’s developed into kind of a bullet proof character. Seriously, she had a great run in her own book and really rounded out as the leader of the Champions. Kamala Khan is one of the most well written, fan friendly, representative charters in comics, and she earned every bit of that shine. I, personally, don’t care for Kamala, i finder her personality grating, but i understand the merit of who she is and why she’s important. More than that, i see how well her implementation and pushes worked for her. Ms. Marvel has seen all sorts of success outside of the books. She’s had a ton of appearances in various cartoons to varying success but got the nod as the POV character for the once lauded, now derided, Avengers game. They did her dirty with that but I've heard that her game play is pretty fun. Kamala is a success story about how you diversify your pantheon organically, successfully, without it coming off as pandering. There is only one character who has had a better rise in the zeitgeist and is arguably the genesis for this brand knew age of representation first in comics, whether that be for better or worse.

Miles Morales is, unquestionably, the reason we have characters like Kamala, America, and Riri. He predates them all and has had the most success as the Spider-Man of 1610 after Pete died. People HATED Miles when he first swung though Brooklyn. It was vitriolic. Incandescent. And i understood why. Spider-Man is Peter Parker. That’s who he is. Miles didn’t even have his own origin story, it was literally the same spider that bit him. A good deal of the hate had to do with Bendis as well. We were knee deep in his whole “Make all the heroes black” situation and it was wearing thin. He had positioned Luke Cage and Spectrum as principal powerhouses of the Marvel Universe and it just wasn’t there for those characters. He didn’t do the work to make those characters compelling, especially Luke Cage. He wrote Cage as a power fantasy for himself, i imagine he wants to be black more than anything, and it was incredibly transparent. Cage went from a D-Lister with roughly Captain America class strength, to a primary Avenger with Hulk class strength, over night. That’s corny. Miles got the same treatment but to a lesser extent. He didn’t get his shine until other people came through and cleaned up the mess Bendis left of the character. A decade on, and Miles has been accepted has the best Spider Jr. out there, earning clout with the best Spider-Flick released to date and a principal role in the best Spider-Game out there. In the books, he’s developed into a solid character, different from Pete in a ton of ways, but familiar in all the ways that count. More than anything their relationship is dope as f*ck. If Kamala was the first, real, success, then Miles was the dry run to get there.

Riri Williams has none of this development. None of it. She was in the Champions book, too, right along with Kamala and Miles, and she still sucks. Hell, Kid Nova, Sam Alexander, also makes an appearance in that book and i forgot he existed until i wrote this sentence, but even he has more of a character than f*cking Ironheart. Sam is f*cking adorable. He’s had a ton of crazy adventures and, for a while, was literally the only Nova around. He was the Kyle Rayner of Marvel and the kid did a great job with that. When Riri Was the only Iron Man, she was indistinguishable from Tony. It was so bad, her AI WAS Tony. That’s how little faith Marvel had in the character after her introduction. Kamala, by this pint, had her own solo and Miles had been Spider-Man in Ultimate comics for, like, four years or some sh*t. Riri couldn’t even be Ironheart without Tony having an intimate role in her “independent” book. Sh*t was whack, son, and that’s my point. Riri Williams, Ironheart, is not a character, she’s a PR move and that sucks because the bones of something really compelling are there to be explored. Riri could have been dope especially if she had the room to grow Kamala and Miles. Riri had every opportunity to be the Marvel version of Ahsoka Tano; A brash, brilliant, reckless apprentice to the seasoned veteran hellbent on training her to reach the potential that only he sees within. Riri could have been written with the most depth, the most growth, of these diverse replacement heroes but none of that happened. Riri is the same f*cking character she was when she was introduced. There’s been o growth, no change, and her armor is ugly as f*ck. It’s a goddamn shame because i adore the idea of Ironheart but that execution leaves a lot to be desired. I hope the writers under Feige do the character justice. I hope they find a way to make Riri compelling, to make her whole because the potential there is staggering. It’s unfortunate that no one at Marvel Comics knows how to properly actualize it.

So we did it. We fucking got it done. And for five minutes we can all step back and take a huge breath. We can sleep soundly in our beds tonight knowing that the nightmare of the past four years is over. We can think about something other than vote counts, which states we need, how many states we need, and whether we can really pull this out. We did it. Now, in a few weeks, maybe even not until January 21st, 2021, we have so much more work to do. We still have a white guy (an old white guy) in office, and no matter how amazing and wonderful he is, no matter how much I voted for him and supported his campaign once he was the Democratic candidate, that doesn’t mean we couldn’t have done better. That doesn’t mean there weren’t better options. I don’t think that Bernie would be our guy. I know the hard left wants Bernie to be our guy, but the truth of the matter is: he’s too left for our country right now, in all the ways that absolutely terrifying centrists, the right, and conservatives as a whole. Is this a problem? Yes. It’s one of the reasons I ultimately threw in behind Biden; he is a centrist, he is not hard left, he will negotiate fairly and evenly, and he will be a voice of reason and calm. He is someone even the conservatives can support. I love Bernie Sanders, I love his policies and his beliefs, but I’m a ~liberal snowflake~ who thinks that global change is important and necessary. I am not a centrist, right-leaning, conservative-minded, Democrat. Or Republican. In another time I would probably be far left, but instead I am just regular old liberal left. In the 2022 mid-term elections we are going to have to put forth better candidates. But we have to also be aware that we are working against a group of strong conservatism that is dominating the country right now. They might be in the minority, but they are armed, dangerous, and feeling threatened. Have you ever cornered an angry, scared, dog before? That is what the hard right is. They believe their way of life is coming to an end; and in many ways they are right, their old-school belief about race, gender, the LGBTQ+ community, and so many other liberal agendas are changing the shape of our country and around the world. If we keep pushing further left, faster than we are convincing people that the left is a safe place to be, they are going to continue to give us people like Trump. Trump is a symptom of a much larger problem. Trump did not create this mess, he simply fed off the mess. Much in the same way that the Goths did not bring down the Roman empire in the 470s CE, instead they found weaknesses within and exploited those weaknesses until Rome came crumbling down around them. We are Rome, and if we are not careful Rome will come crashing down in a much more violent, frightening way. We cannot afford to tear ourselves apart from within as we all search for common ground. The rise of people like Trump, and Trumpism as a whole, simply created a bigger wedge, a wider divide between the Right and Left, conservatives and liberals, and it isn’t going to be fixed by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We took a step in the right direction, we decided that a Black, Indian-American, WOMAN could, in fact, be worthy of holding the Vice President’s office. Nearly 5 million Americans decided that she, and Biden, were a better, more fitting choice for our country in this time, and I agree. But we know this because they will not actively seek revenge and push an agenda that is going to shove conservatives even further down a path of self-destruction. Electing Joe Biden as president is HUGE, and we shouldn’t forget that in nearly all of my years on earth this has only happened ONE single time. 30 years ago the country decided that George H. W. Bush was also someone we could not count on to do the right thing and run our country, he was a one-term president and lost to Bill Clinton. But a victory today does not ensure a victory 4 years from now, and we must be careful. We must be wary. We must ensure that Biden can maintain his hold for eight years and we work to repair our communities from within. Perhaps without the vitriol from the leader of our country we will begin to see a return of reality. We will see a shift in tone throughout our country. But it is going to take more that four years and Joe Biden. It is going to take all of us, it is going to take electing younger Representatives and Senators to replace those that are retiring, those that understand the battle we are facing right now, those who can see the reality of the world, while also being willing to fight for it. Change is not going to happen from the top up, it must happen from the ground first. You would never start a building by building a roof, you must start with the foundations. So we must spend the next four, hell the next two, years convincing our neighbors, our family, our friends, to keep seeing the value in moving left. That our values are not being compromised by seeing that all people have value, that Black lives matter, that women have a right to decide, and the climate needs to be addressed. We must have conversations, not fights. And we must do this or we risk another Trump-esque rival rising up and fighting Biden in 2024, running against another Democrat in 2028. This battle is over, but there are many more to go. The fight for our country, the fight for human decency, the fight for reality still lingers. We cannot forget, though we may take a deep breath and rest our wary fingers, our wary minds, and our hearts for a couple of months before we pick up the mantle and keep fighting for all the right (or left) things we believe in.

Weekend Top Ten #464

Top Ten Feelgood Moments in Movies

Serendipity’s a funny thing, isn’t it? I’ve been planning to make this week about feelgood films since, oooh, late November maybe. I mean, we’ve had enough misery since 2016 to last us an entire Middle-Earth Extended Edition boxset. We need our Pelennor Fields moments wherever we can get them, and Joe Biden being sworn in as President is a good a moment as any right now. So anyway, that was the plan, and then along comes good old Empire magazine with a month dedicated to top cinema moments. They’re not all feelgood, to be fair – there’s the chestburster scene from Alien for a kick-off – but it’s one of those instances of curious synchronicity. What I’m saying is, I didn’t rip them off, okay? This was percolating since the Tangerine Nightmare lost Georgia.

Anyway: feelgood.

This was surprisingly hard, because the moments that I cherish aren’t always feelgood. Even in Lord of the Rings, even in the Pelennor Fields, the whole Ride of the Rohirrim stuff is laced with tragedy. The best bits of those films – “Fly, you fools!”, “For Frodo,” “I can’t carry it but I can carry you,” “Go away and don’t come back” – they’re all melancholy, aren’t they? It’s a saga about people being heroic under duress, and in those cases quite often people don’t make it back all in one piece. Think about Pixar, what are the great moments? “Thanks for the adventure, “So long partner,” “Take her to the moon for me” – they’re all about loss. Or rather, new joy from loss, hope from despair, that kind of thing. They’re terrific, they always make me cry, but they’re not exactly feelgood if you know what I mean.

So here we are. Moments of utter joy, that’s what I’m after. Heart soaring, tears pouring, euphoric moments of extreme happiness. I’ve tried for the most part to avoid joyous moments of excess: there’s one explosion and one bit where a dude gets stabbed in the face, but for the most part I’ve eschewed “feelgood violence” for want of a better word. These are scenes that are supposed to make you smile.

And y’know what? We could all do with smiling more in this day and age.

Good luck, Joe and Kamala. Do a good job. Take us to the moon.

(P.S. spoiler alert for, well, pretty much every film in the list)

“Happy birthday, Aunt Lucy.” (Paddington 2, 2017): after ninety minutes of watching Paddington bring out the best in everybody just by existing, we all feel he deserves a happy ending. And everyone pulls together and gets it for him. Everyone he’s helped, everyone whose life he touched, they’re all there, leading Paddington – and us – to the door. As an adult, you know what’s coming; kids are less sure. But it’s a joyous moment of nothing but true happiness. Two CGI characters hug with such sincerity you can feel the warmth from the screen, and then comes those last words – quiet, whispered, almost thrown away. It’s perfect.

“When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” (When Harry Met Sally, 1989): romcom endings are very hard. You’ve navigated a couple’s relationship, generally speaking you’ve split them up in act three, and now they need to get back together in a big, extravagant way, that undoes the plot machinations that separated them. No one does it as well as Harry here, delivering a soliloquy on what it means to be in love, loving a person’s quirks and foibles and how they occupy your mind, ending with that superb line. Sally says it best: when he says stuff like that, he makes it impossible for us to hate him.

“On your left.” (Avengers: Endgame, 2019): Captain America stands alone, battered and beaten, his unbreakable shield broken. The vast armies of Thanos stand before him. He faces certain death, and the probable destruction of everything. He grits his teeth, tightens his shield straps, and then… Sam Wilson’s voice, delivering a line from several films ago, a moment of levity and shared continuity. His friends arrive, slowly at first; Black Panther, the Guardians, Spider-Man. Legions from across the cosmos. “Is that everyone?” asks Doctor Strange. “You wanted more?!” replies Wong. And then giant Ant-Man bursts through a building, with Hulk and co. An army of good from across the galaxy to face the forces of evil. Cap calls forth Mjolnir (and that moment was so nearly my choice), and then… “Avengers… assemble.”

“That’ll do, pig.” (Babe, 1995): Babe is one of those films that’s mostly joy: feelgood throughout, really, despite moments of drama or sadness. But after some nail-biting scenes as Farmer Hoggett and his piggy bud do their sheepdog act, we have a moment of angsty silence before the crowd goes ballistic, cheers everywhere, women crying, top marks. And then very softly, oh-so-tenderly, Hoggett’s great catchphrase. It’ll do. It’ll always do.

“Indiana… let it go.” (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, 1989): a film built on witty repartee and full-throated spectacle, Crusade lingers in the memory due to the subtle character work between father and son. They mend their fractured relationship over the course of the movie, but it’s really symbolised when Henry saves “Junior” at the expense of rescuing the Grail, calling Indiana by his chosen name for the first time in the film. It’s a great character beat, and is followed shortly afterwards by the protagonists literally riding off into the sunset.

“I am no man!” (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, 2003): as I alluded to above, the Rings trilogy is full of incredible moments of awe, pathos, tragic heroism, and bittersweet joy. But arguably the biggest cheer is reserved for when Eowyn of Rohan dispatches the Witch-King of Angmar courtesy of a Shakespearean loophole in his whole “no man can kill me!” schtick. Coming between the awe-inspiring Ride of the Rohirrim and the death of Theoden, it’s a terrific punch of joy and satisfaction.

“E.T. phone HOOOOOME!” (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, 1982): E.T. is another of those films full of joy, but it’s also tinged with sadness. Melancholia bleeds into the film like sunlight through Elliot’s blinds. E.T. himself spends half the film getting sicker and sicker, until he appears to die, all pale and cold-looking. But then! The flower comes back to life! His heart glows bright red, visible through his weird hyperbaric chamber/coffin thing! Elliot flings back the lid, and E.T. barks his catchphrase euphorically. God, it’s great.

“Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.” (The Shawshank Redemption, 1994): it’s a bit of a grim watch, Shawshank; this isn’t a Paddington-style joy-fest. Andy is wrongfully impression and then spends twenty years being brow-beaten and abused before making his escape. But what an escape; not just the audacity of it – not just the fact he gets out at all – but how he ingeniously tunnels his way out over the decades, steals the warden’s ill-gotten money, exposes the scandal at the prison, and – as Red says – crawls through a sewer. It’s a beautifully put-together scene, everyone getting their just desserts and deserved rewards, and is capped off shortly after when Red himself is released and gets to retire alongside his friend.

“You’re all clear, kid, now let’s blow this thing and go home!” (Star Wars, 1977): I almost had the mothership explosion from Independence Day on this list, because I remember how much that impacted me as a teenager; seeing the baddie aliens get theirs was just great. But really it’s a replication of this, the grandaddy of all “beating the bad guys” big bangs. Luke, whiney teenager from nowhere, ends up flying an X-Wing against the evil oppressive Empire’s mighty Death Star. When all hope seems lost, Han Solo returns, proving his heroism, knocking Darth Vader for six and leaving our hero free and clear to use the Force, Luke. Cue phenomenal fireball. Joy!

“I’m singin’ in the rain…” (Singin’ in the Rain, 1952): musicals are joyous, aren’t they? A proper old-fashioned feelgood sing-song can be transcendent. “Singin’ in the Rain” – as in, the song/dance number – is about a bloke so bloody happy that he doesn’t care if he gets wet. It’s a euphoric statement of intent, a declaration of both love and supreme serenity in and of itself. And as a piece of cinema, it’s all that and more; an escalating dance routine, as the music soars and the camera lifts up, and we take in the splendour of this one bloke kicking in puddles. It’s daft, it’s funny, and it’s just, well, feelgood.

So...I’m obsessed with NEVER HAVE I EVER now and I’m not mad

Hey it’s Dana and I’m procrastinating my school work (because even the lockdown can’t stop my teachers from giving me work - how great!) so I’ve decided to watch a bit of the new Netlfix series NEVER HAVE I EVER which (after a google search) I found out is created by Mindy Kaling!

(However, by the time this post goes up I’ll probably still be procrastinating but for a whole different set of school work! Yay for me, I guess!)

I actually really have no idea what it’s about except for the fact that the title is a game I used to play with my friends to find out some gossip about their love life and vice versa which was often uninteresting because we never really had much to say. In conclusion, American High School romances have lied to me all my life about games like Truth or Dare and Never Have I Ever (it’s either that or me and the people around me have just lived fairly uninteresting lives...sounds plausible).

Anyway, read on to read about me reacting to NEVER HAVE I EVER the series for the first time!

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate how pretty Devi is; her hair is goals; orange is her colour; she has such a cute smile; she is thriving!

Also, I do love the religious diversity and the Indian representation.

Hahaha! Okay this first scene is quite funny and the arm hair thing is so relatable if you have dark hair; I envy people with lighter hair!

But, what is it with people and always wanting to be invited to parties??? They’re seriously not that fun and I often leave with a headache and an empty stomach. At first, they are quite entertaining but after a while (when you’ve told every single story about what you did in your summer holiday and stuff about your dog) you’ve run out of things to say and just awkwardly stand there until someone - and there is always someone - finally mentions school and now you’re that group of people talking about school because there’s nothing better to talk about. Or maybe that’s just my experiences with parties - I don’t know (I haven’t been to many lol).

Hey, that’s Mona from DC’s Legends of Tommorrow!!!! Omg! is this why she left the show???

Ahhh and Devi is not only a Hindu and an Indian-American but she is also a wheelchair user - Mindy is out there just trying to give everyone all the representation we need!

Oh - so she managed to walk again after trying to see a hot boy’s chiseled jawline behind a car? Hmmmm...seems plausible.

I’m also getting a really 80s vibe that seem quite common in Netflix movies and tv shows (like Sierra Burgess Is A Loser) but I know it’s meant to be in the 21st century.

Lol I’ve never heard that before but it made me choke on my food. Imagine people bullying you and calling you the UN - the political slander, the international slander. Omg I love this show so much.

I don’t really thinkl Devi should care if Ben thinks she’s unbangable because she is only 15 so she doesn’t exactly need to have banging as her number one priority.

Yassssssss strut queen!

The heels things is extremely relatable; I’m already a clutz while walking in flats but when I put on heels I’m falling all over everywhere (you should’ve seen me dance at my Year 11 Prom lol). Devi is wearing really high heels - I seriously could never so good for her!

So Paxton just says yes to having sex with her? What? Is this how it works? Is it that easy?

I’m so confused.

So I’m thinking that maybe there’s something more to Paxton than meets the eye. Maybe he’s a shamed virgin (which isn’t really as much of a problem as Hollywood tries to convince us) or maybe he might do a 360 and publicly shame Devi.

What I know, is that Paxton might end up having feelings for Devi after this (because this is how romance works, guys). Also, Devi might back out of having sex with Paxton.

So we’re onto episode 2 which is titled “...had sex with Paxton Hall-Yoshida”, making the title make more sense to me now.

Devi is casually just reading After which coincidently is also on Netflix (marketing strategies?).

*Love is in the air* (I was waiting for LGBTQ+ representations and I know this may cause some conflict with Devi’s plan for them all to get boyfriends butttttt in the long run, once Fab comes out to the gals they’re all going to accept her - at least I hope).

That blonde girl is too cute with her pixie hair cut omg I already love her so much and I haven’t even heard her talk.

This is the only love at first sight that I accept (this and The Half Of It, of course).

(Also the blonde’s eyebrows are beautiful; I want them so much).

This is the guy from Supergirl who played Lena’s old scientist boyfriend (and ruined all our lesbian Lena backstory but I did like him as a guy).

I like how Devi’s PTSD over her dad’s death is really being explored slowly.

Also, I knew that Devi would back out of having sex with Paxton and why does she always get cuts on her on her legs? is this symbolism? to do with her leg? and her mental state? am I reading too far into this?

Let Kamala be the beautiful biologists she deserves to be without an arranged marriage with a man whose family just wants her to be a wife.

We also shouldn’t forget how Devi’s mother’s feeling after her husband’s death. She may seem so strong on the outside but we all know she’s breaking on the inside and I hope that her and Devi can have a heart-to-heart about that.

Personally I think the blue ones...

Awww I think Paxton’s sister (Rebecca) and Devi are going to become good friends and I’m excited to watch it happen ahhhhh!

I’m thinking that Ben and Devi are going to become friends which would be quite sweet considering their rivalry.

Ohhhhhh Kamala has an asian boyfriend??? I’m officially attached; we need to end this arrnaged marriage; she needs to be with her boyfriend.

Awwwwww this is beautiful. I love Devi’s mum so much, she deserves love and attention.

Okay so we’ve now met a more human side to Paxton with him explaining that he’s been quite protective of his sister ever since she was adopted. And they’re not going to have sex (even though Devi told her friends that they did have sex) which is really going to cause major conflict.

Anyway, I should probably actually do some work now so bye!

MAJOR EDIT: So it turns out that I did work for about half an hour then decided to watch the rest of the season without reviewing as I go (because I was even lazy to do that lol). I did not think that I would actually finish the whole season in one go; I thought that I would just watch the first couple of episodes until it felt too awkward to watch the rest. Nevertheless, I watched the rest of the the season and I already want a new season to come out so badly!

Firstly, let’s deal with Paxton.

So I thought that Paxton would make a massive U-turn and start being less of a douche (as his sister Rebecca - who is just so deadpan with him that I just love her more and more - puts it) and more of a sweetheart who has some type of depth to him. Yes, he does seem to have depth in the way that he’s not just some hot guy on the swim team who’s always mean to everyone because he is usually nice and doesn’t forwardly go out of his way to bully anyone (and I also give points for the fact that he is half asian and not a nerd because we need our dumb asians to replace London Tipton in our hearts).

The problem is that I’m just confused about him. Why does he always come to Devi’s aid whenever she’s in trouble? What is his purpose? Why does he turn up at her doorstep when she doesn’t answer his text messages?

I’m particularly confused (and also extremely worried) about that last question because it’s just weird and uneccessary to turn up to someone’s house when they don’t answer your messages. Maybe I would have let him off if he did it once but this guy does it soooooo many times that it’s started to become a bit creepy. Like chill. Seriously. Not everyone is constantly on their phone to text you back instantly and sometimes I’ve even not answered for a couple of days but you don’t exactly see anyone knocking at my door like “hey, Dana, answer my texts - I wanted to know what fucking ice cream you like”.

Basically, it’s just creepy and I feel as though they’re trying to use that to use that as him essentially developing feelings for her but now he needs to lay off because Devi’s got her eyes on Ben now.

Okay so Ben is what I’m excited for now. The next season will most likely focus on their love triangle and maybe devlop Paxton more to possibly make us really confused on who Devi should choose. Personally, I think she should choose Ben at the end of the day.

Ben started off as Devi’s nemesis and I never really paaid much attention to him at the start because I thought he would just be there for a bit of comedy and to push Devi out of her comfort zone. It turns out that he has pushed Devi out of her comfort zone, in a different way of course (but when they kissed and the camera started panning down I thought they they were actually going to start having sex and I was like omg, whoa, I shouldn’t be watching this but also it would kinda be fulfilling to see Devi choose to have sex with this guy who actually wants her and actually likes her in that moment, fully forgetting about Paxton - it was actually just panning down to another call from Paxton).

I did see a glimmer of something between them but I thought it was just going to be a friendship to add to her group but I’m not mad at how it actually ended.

I feel as though we as the audience will route for Ben more because of that episode that completely centered him, which showed us just exactly how hard Ben’s life is. It was this episode and the Model UN episode that made me think that they might make this a thing (and there was also the fact that he tried to kiss her twice at his house).

It’s also an added bonus that Devi’s mum thinks so highly of Ben because it means she probably won’t have to hide him from her. While, yes, dating a guy who your mother doesn’t like (such as Paxton) is a symbol of rebellion and thriving outside of your family’s hold sometimes it’s not the right option if they turn you into someone completely different. Ben and Devi have this relationship in which she can be her complete self around him and not have to hold anything back or do anything in order to please him. They challenge each other, trust each other (especially with Ben driving her all the way to Malibu and STAYING), and understand each other to a level that Paxton just can’t seem to relate to.

Kamala’s breakup with Steve seemed really out of the blue with her really trying to stay away from an arranged marriage, to plain falling for the guy on the other end of the arranged marriage. Although she did say that she doesn’t want to marry yet I’m still really confused on why she dumped Steve but told Prashant that she likes him. I feel as though it would’ve made a bigger impact if she told both guys she didn’t want them and wants to focus on her aspiring career as a biologist.

I say that but I do see the sparks between Prashant and Kamala with them having a lot of things in common.

I want to end this fairly long review of the entire season 1 of NEVER HAVE I EVER talking about this girl right here, an absolute legend, a queen, the girl who wear a white suit to a sleazy high school party: Fabiola.

This girl is such an icon and her gay panic after summoning (yes, summoning) her whole family to tell them she’s gay (only to end up telling them she switched from AP French to AP Latin) made me both laugh so hard and feel so much pain for her.

When she finally told her mum that she was gay, I panicked. I had to mentally prepare myself to watch this woman shout, cry, question - even disapprove - of her daughter. Instead, what we got was a mother who accepted her daughter and told her that she’s only ever wanted to make her happy. It just made me realise that all that time her mother spent trying to get into her daughter’s love life (after thinking she had a boyfriend) was her version of trying to bond with her daughter and understand her and basically just be a mother.

Well, you know what, she is doing a great job as a mother and I’m so happy for Fab because I know when her mother finds out about Eve (if she hasn’t already) she is going to try and get all the gossip from her daughter and try so hard to take her shopping for clothes that’ll make her look good for dates with Eve (and I am thriving for this).

Her mother’s approach almost reminds me of the mother from Ackley Bridge (if anyone knows that show) who tried to get to know what being a lesbian really is like for a girl by going to one of the most gay areas in the UK. That was just an iconic moment and if you haven’t seen Ackley Bridge go watch that because it’s really good (at first though, after a while it gets a bit trash and you’ll understand).

I hope that season 2 comes quick (but it may not be for a while) and fingers crossed Ben and Devi are endgame, Kamala sorts out what she wants in life, Eleanor finally has a stern talk with her mum, and Fab and Eve finally become official (unless they are already) and we see a story more focused on them.

X, T and K?

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM This depends a lot on what I’m focused on at the moment (also, not all my faves count. Generally if I feel like a fave character has enough fans to defend them or whatever, I’m not gonna feel like I need to defend them. For instance, Elsa. Does Elsa have her haters? Sure. But she’s also crazy popular, so who cares if a few people hate her? That’s why she’s not on this list, even if I do like her.) but here goes, not in order tbh, just off the top of my head: Kamala Khan, always my girl, I adore her so much and I saw a post one day talking shit about her and I wanted to throttle OP. Anyway. Kamala is the best. I cannot wait for her MCU debut. Cassandra, from Tangled: the Series. I adored Cass right from the start, and of course, right from the start, I saw people shitting on her for, IDK, daring to *gasp* not like Eugene, I guess? Wow. So yeah, I’ll die defending Cass, she’s the best, even if she made some bad choices in s3 but hey. Who hasn’t stolen an ancient powerful artifact and gotten manipulated by a demonic Eldritch being, amirite? Della Duck, from Ducktales. I adore Della, she’s such an interesting and complex character who has made her fair share of mistakes but is also trying her best. The whole discourse post-”Timephoon” really showed me that she’s a character I’d die defending as well because holy shit were people shitting all over her for... daring to ground Louie, her son, for literally causing a spacetime disaster because he wanted to make money. Sigh. Anyway. I adore Della. Anna of Arendelle, from Frozen. Oh, Anna. So many people just flat out ignore you in favor of your sister, which is so unfair. Anna is wonderful and determined and optimistic and honestly such a badass? Like that (sadly deleted) scene said, her love could hold up the world. (Fun fact, part of the reason I desperately wanted my brain to get off the Frozen traintrack it was, ah, frozen on from June 2019 to January 2020 was because it resulted in me fixating on how much people flat out do not care about Anna, which wasn’t a fun time!) I am very glad she gets to be part of the bridge with Elsa but am sadly unsurprised that people continue to ignore that and just insist that it’s only Elsa who’s the Powerful, Wonderful, Most Amazing Fifth Spirit. Anna who? Granted, the movie could have emphasized that it’s Elsa and Anna who are the Fifth Spirit, together, but still.

Alex Danvers, from Supergirl. Still my favorite character on the show! I don’t think she gets bashed as much as mostly just ignored? (I’d say poor Kara gets the brunt of the bashing. It’s very sad.) Unless Lena stans get confronted with the fact that their fave is doing some highly Unethical Things, then they start pointing to Alex for some reason and start saying, Yeah Well, Alex Works For A Shady Government Organization, So Who’s The *Real* Bad Guy Here? (Me: ....it’s still Lena, but go off, I guess.) I guess I just generally relate to her overwhelming Big Sister-ness and the high pressure she puts on herself because what a Mood, amirite? I feel that whole, anxiety that your parents will be disappointed in you because I feel that every day! I also adore how dedicated she is and how smart she is (something the fandom and the show often seem to ignore...) Connie Maheswaran, from Steven Universe. She’s the best! And she was totally the MVP of Steven Universe: Future, telling off all the Gems for making Steven’s problems about them because that was the last thing Steven needed! She’s practical and smart but at the same time so adventurous and brave and willing to stand up to protect the Earth! It’s very admirable. Steven Universe, from... you know. I’ve always liked Steven but I think Future gave me a greater appreciation for this kid. This poor kid has had to grow up so fast and basically play therapist for his Gem moms as well as for Gems who literally tried to kill him multiple times. His compassion is so admirable but wow did it result in him putting himself last! I have a soft spot for these types of characters, the characters who care so much about other people that they forget to care about themselves. (Alex Danvers is in this category also.) I know some people got mad about his downward spiral in Future, but honestly the complaints just strike me as being mad that Steven dares to have his own problems as opposed to being the Happy Boy Therapist Who Fixes Everyone Else’s Problems And Has Zero Problems Of His Own. Martha Jones, from Doctor Who. Oh, Martha Jones, you’re a star. I had a group of college friends who I watched Doctor Who with back in the day, and they hated Martha. (Most notable exchange: one of said friends saying that she thought Martha was just “too smart” to be relatable. Said friend was a physics major.) I hope the Martha hate has cooled down now because Martha always deserves so much appreciation. She had to put up with so much in s3 (incidentally, I think about s3 sometimes and I wonder why the fuck 10 is my favorite Doctor. Honestly, he’s such a dick in s3. Martha Deserved Better.), and I’m so glad she was able to be one of the few companions in NuWho with a nontraumatic exit. I hope she’s living her best life, wherever she might be now. Ninth Doctor, from Doctor Who. Gosh I love Nine. Those same college friends who hated Martha also told me to skip s1, and I’m very glad I did not listen to them. I’ve always liked Jerks with Hearts of Gold, and Nine definitely is that! I just adore how while he had such a gruff and battle-scarred demeanor, he was so sweet and genuinely kind. He’s a puppy in a leather jacket! And not only can he be genuinely soft and sweet, but he’s also just so silly sometimes? Absolutely not what you’d expect from his general appearance but he can be quite a goofball! I love that for him! And while I may not like Doctor/Rose as a ship (honestly I just don’t tend to like Doctor/companion ships at all), his relationship with Rose was so sweet. I also just enjoy that, underneath all the weariness and the surface-level cynicism, he is actually very optimistic. Twelfth Doctor, honestly, same deal as Nine. I’m very annoyed with people who dismiss him as being the Grumpy Doctor because he’s just so genuinely kind and compassionate? He might genuinely be one of the most compassionate Doctors I’ve ever seen. He even extends kindness to his worst enemies. There’s something really beautiful about that. Being kind, even when it might ultimately backfire on you and might not even work, because why not try? He’s just a punk rock grandpa trying his best, how can you hate that? He’s got some sick guitaring skills btw. He should join a band. (I know Peter Capaldi is in a band, so that just makes me want 12 to be in a band even more.) Sometimes I think there should be a band in the Whoniverse made up of some of the Doctor’s regens but then I get stuck on who’d be in it besides 12. Maybe 2 can be in it, with his weird flute thing. Anyway. His relationship with Clara was great (mostly because of how destructive and codependent it was lmao) but I just genuinely adore his connection with Bill. I’m always here for found family, and Bill being 12′s Earth granddaughter just warms my heart so much! Thirteenth Doctor, but actually the opposite deal of Nine and Twelve. I once saw a post saying that most Doctors can be split into one of two categories: grump with a heart of gold or charming goofball with a dark side. And, despite the two characters I just listed being in the former category, I think I tend to prefer the latter? Mostly because I see plenty of Jerks With Hearts of Gold but I feel like I don’t see as many heroic charming goofballs with a dark side. Anyway, that’s absolutely what 13 is, and I appreciate the layers that she has and am constantly annoyed at people who only see her surface level cheeriness and think that’s all there is to her. I really love it when characters Aren’t What They Seem and 13 exemplifies that. To borrow a phrase from a post I saw a very long time ago, 13 is so facile. She’s so physical, taking up so much space and constantly moving, but is so touch-averse. She talks so much and is very friendly, but is incredibly emotionally constipated and keeps even her so-called best friends at an arms length. She talks a lot about hope and compassion, but boy can she be hella violent and feral! Love That For Her. T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything) Oh absolutely. Off the top of my head: Cassandra is a lesbian. And that’s that on that. 13 is touch-averse! (Also stop yelling that she needs a hug! She doesn’t want one! It’s okay to not want hugs, that’s not a crime!) Alex can cook. Cooking isn’t even that hard? K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms Ooh, this is hard cuz there are a lot of people in any of my fandoms that I feel like I can say nice things about! Let’s go with Supergirl since I’ve been neglecting that fandom a lot. Uh. I adore @wizardofahz ‘s fics about the Superfam! I’m always craving more gen fic and she delivers! I love her characterizations of everyone, especially her characterizations of Alex and Kara.

There was something grandma said when you said “My heart is broken.”

“Make your guts into a new heart, and go on.”

…

I’ve been accused many times — accused being the right term — on this blog of being an optimist.

I’m not. I’m actually a dark, despairing pessimist, which feeds wonderfully into my depressive tendencies.

…

This is why I tend to avoid, like the plague, both horror stories and the sort of despairing thriller where you fight and fight and fight and in the end it’s maybe slightly better, but not much. Or you become what you have fought. That is the NORMAL pattern my mind tries to make. i had to train myself out of it.

So I’m very very good at seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and determining it’s not an oncoming train.

And guys, I’m having trouble. Real trouble.

I look at “70% of the country” including places like Texas and Utah will be voting by mail. And I know what happens with fraud by mail. And early fraud, and all the various corruptions of “voting” that are not on the day, after you registered a month earlier, at a verified address (you know, the sort of thing they make you do to get a checking account, say?) and on paper, and then carefully watched. All of those, btw, are run by the same people now demanding vote by mail, to save them from a (granted particularly severe) variation of the cold virus. Which mostly kills people over 80 who are already in poor health. (To be fair, just about anything kills them.)

And I don’t see how we turn this.

And everything the left is doing, in their spiraling insanity seems to confirm it. Kamala? Biden? That necrotic convention? The idiot rumors about Trump (possibly personally) stealing mailboxes? All of it adds up to “We’re just making it credible enough that Biden wins. We have the votes taken care of. It’s in the bag. Like the communist countries of old, we don’t even have to run a credible show.”

And I can’t do anything. I’ve tried. G-d knows I tried. Years ago — 2012? — when I first talked about how all those “conveniences” in voting increased fraud, I got ON THIS BLOG a barrage of “You just hate me and don’t want me to vote because I have to work.” Or “I love voting by mail. It’s so convenient.” And of course, the usual idiots said I was against the military voting, apparently failing to see the difference between unavoidable, carefully watched situations, and just mailing out ballots to every person, cat, dog and imaginary character at an address. I tried to point out because of motor voter a lot of permanent residents THINK they can (and should) vote. Because no one explains you have to be a citizen. Or insist on registering you even if you show as ID, say, a Japanese passport as has happened.

Now no one is saying any of that when I mention fraud by mail and early fraud. But now it’s too late. Most states have same-day registration. The early vote tells the left how many new voters to register, even if their names are Mickey Mouse and Milk Jug.

And because crooked election after crooked election was accepted, so long as the left does a little dance and pretends they have massive support, and the press sings along in the choir, well…. How do you dispute one? Will anyone even dispute one? Even try to? Or will the right be afraid of the mythical “uprising of the people” if they do?

I don’t know if it’s the circumstances of this horrible year, but I feel myself future blind. I usually have a sense of what’s coming assembled by my (despite myself) rational processes beneath the surface.

I don’t now.

I don’t see past the beginning of November. If the left wins, the country as we know it will be gone within a year. And if you think that’s impossible contemplate what they’ve done to our cities and states in five months. FIVE MONTHS.

They want to open borders wide and confiscate and redistribute property. After that, there is no America. And like with NYC (which I always loved, despite everything) there is no coming back from that. The people themselves will be broken. Why create, start, work really hard, dream, do anything, when it can all be taken away at a whim? The East Germans haven’t recovered. Russia… well, Russia is Russia. But America, put through that won’t be America. Whatever emerges on the other side will be just a country of serfs. In my dark hours I think we’re halfway there.

And don’t tell me we can rebel and fight. Guys, we can’t go to the store without masks. The left revived their monopoly on information in the shutdown. By trying to get information on the plague, they are glued to the TV night and day, and even though it’s lies and frankly outright nonsense, people are being gaslit into believing them. Which is why the panic fear of the unmasked person, and the mob that forms at grocery stores to form an asthmatic to mask up. Even though masks — if they do anything — are a net negative, and the virus is nowhere near as lethal as advertised.

We’re back to where we were in the seventies and eighties, where if the right commits any violence (even violent words) they are the aggressors, and evil bad, and must be destroyed. Look at the whole “your words are violence.” Hell, even our silence is violence. Even their violence is our violence. Look at what they did to JFK’s assassination. That’s what they’ll do to any (real) resistance.

Grandma said to make your guts into a new heart and I’ve been trying. It’s not working markedly well.

…

The loss of wealth, health and ultimately life these past five months, not from Covid-19 but from the stupid attempts to destroy us, disguised as attempts to stop the virus, is incalculable. It might be more than all the wars of the twentieth century, worldwide.

And the loss of American spirit is far, far worse than that.

I want to believe we come back. I want to believe we recover. I want to believe this insane clown posse of grifters and corruptocrats (anyone notice this started JUST as the whole Russiagate was about to be nailed to Obama’s tail? Or that everyone running this crazy psiops on the virus has their pockets filled by China?) will be gone after this last final spasm.

But I’m holding on by my fingernails, while I look at the election approaching and a massive Game Over blinks in my head.
