thoughts on every cw show you've watched (a dark history i think we both share)
lily i wish you could hear the noise i just made when i saw this. god. okay. iām going in approximate chronological order here. also an important piece of context is my mom did not let us watch ~adult tv~ until approximately 2010 so even though i am theoretically old enough to remember, like, one tree hill, i did not watch it.
also iām putting this under a cut not out of shame but because itās stupidly long but iām putting the one everyone wonders about at the top (coincidentally i think itās also chronologically first)
supernatural: meant a whole awful lot to me when i was a teen! ruby supernatural is how i figured out i like girls! i think i said this at the time but dean/cas canon (or.Ā ācanonā) means a lot to me not because i think itās Good but because it was 14yo meās wildest dream and i think sometimes our wildest teenage dreams deserve to come true. itās a shitshow donāt get me wrong but itās one that wormed its way into my brain and that in some ways i still care a lot about. i think it did a lot for my love of stories about families and about choice and free will like it was definitely formative and iām cool with that. there are definitely dumber things that were formative for me
arrow:Ā watched s1 while it was airing and i think i watched 3-4 total seasons on netflix. hot fucking garbage show. i think they had some interesting ideas in the early seasons - i like malcolm merlyn as a villain, i LOVE roy harper in this, thea queen is one of my favorite characters ever, there are lots of little things i could be kind about - but oliver is just such an irredeemable fucking bastard that it made the show unwatchable. also they put a jewish woman in a gas chamber, which is something i think we as a society need to talk about more???? in conclusion laurel lance i miss you
smallville:Ā when i was in high school i bought the first season of smallville on dvd. i watched about half of it and never finished it. i do think itās a fun concept tho and i like that it got to serve as sort of like... a proto legends of tomorrow situation where they could just throw random comics characters at you
the vampire diaries:Ā bonnie was hot. idk i watched half a season and got bored
the flash:Ā i watched the first... three-ish seasons while it was airing i think? i have a lot of fondness bc the flash is my dadās favorite superhero and i genuinely think s1 is a lot of fun but man it went downhill huh. cisco ramon and iris west i love you and you deserve to be in a better show. also dc adaptations stop just randomly doing flashpoint challenge
izombie:Ā rahul kohli i think of you every day. ravi/major was good. i remember not actually enjoying the first season but still being excited when s2 started and then like... not watching it. wasnāt arthur from merlin in this???
the 100:Ā DEEP BREATHS. OKAY. the 100 was very important to me for a very long time and in some ways it still is because the first long fic i ever actually outlined and completed was for the 100, and that matters to me even though the show no longer does. however jesus christ what a fall from grace. like they even went from typical cw racist to just batshit levels of all the isms and phobias you could think of. i genuinely donāt understand how clexa is still in the public discourse at ALL like i get that fandom is overwhelmingly white and decided that they could look past the brownface but the violent homophobia isnāt great! also lily i know you know this but Justice For Jasper Jordan. thatās all
also i used to play this game in seasons 6-7 where whenever i saw an episode recap i would read it and it made me feel insane. did you know that in season 7 they went to a different planet? everyone was cryogenically frozen for like thirty years except for monty and harper (who had a DAUGHTER) and they went to a new planet. iām not making this up. literal insanity. iām foaming at the mouth as we speak
legends of tomorrow:Ā i have seen season one of legends of tomorrow approximately six times. my url is a legends of tomorrow reference. i actually havenāt watched since s3 tho like i didnāt have cable/netflix for a while there and just... never caught up. it is such a perfectly ridiculous show.Ā āwe need to go back in time to make george lucas make movies so our historian is inspired by indiana jones!āĀ āwhat if elvisās guitar did necromancy?ā stop wasting my time with talking and show me 45 minutes of that. lots of insane shit. nate heywood i think of you every day maisie richardson-sellers please call me
supergirl:Ā i watched the pilot (fine) and the musical episode of the flash (honestly? pretty fun) and feel absolutely no desire to watch any more
riverdale:Ā i watched the first season of riverdale and the reason i stopped watching was not related to the show itself, itās because the roommate i lived with at the time who watched with me started making aggressive comments about the show being reverse racist and i removed myself from the situation. i really really want to watch it but i think you need someone to do it With you instead of doing it alone and tam keeps SAYING NO WHEN I ASK so idk maybe one day
crazy ex girlfriend:Ā i never actually watched this but my roommate did and sometimes i would watch with her. there was a very smug quality to this show that really annoyed me? idk how to explain it. would not watch the whole thing tbqh. music was alright tho. i have referencedĀ this moment in this songĀ in way too many conversations that did not call for it
black lightning:Ā i watched season one while it was airing and it was REALLY well done. i hope the future seasons were also good. anissa/grace fucking ruled we love a lesbian/bi relationship AND an interracial relationship with zero white people in it
also some bonus content for people who actually made it this far:
i have the wikipedia page for the cw open right now and iām looking at all the kids shows, so i want to throw out there that 1) sonic x is the first fandom i remember being in 2) i watched a LOT of yugioh as a kid and i donāt care what anyone says yugioh gx fucking ruled and so did 5ds they really just wentĀ āwhat if we did it ON MOTORCYCLESā and i respect that 3) i watched the legion of superheroes cartoon with my dad and in retrospect itās just stunningly fucking ugly but i loved it a lot when i was a kid
#waveridden.ask#mountalodiel#this is so long jfkldjsdklfds#ALSO heads up if anyone clicks the readmore:#cw for some discussion of the various isms/phobias that cw shows always seem to have#specifically the paragraph about arrow discusses a violently antisemitic thing that really stuck with me#and the 1oo includes racism/homophobia discussion#so idk just... tread with caution! if you're not in the mood to deal with that today don't deal with it today

My Top Ships 2018
I really enjoyed writing this article last year. So here we go again. Check out my favorite ships from movies and TV this year.Ā
12. The Goldbergs-Erica and Geoff
The Goldbergs has been one of my favorite sitcoms for a couple of years now and I have loved watching the development of Erica and Geoffās relationship from a simple high school crush, to Erica discovering her feelings, to them now in the current season feeling like an old married couple at times. While they may still have their ups and downs I love how they are always there for one another and they are just adorable. Hope theyāre in it for the long run like Geoff assumes they will be!
11. Throne of Glass-Chaol and CelaenaĀ
At the beginning of 2018 I started reading Sarah J. Maasā fantasy novel Throne of Glass. Instantly I could see the love triangle emerge between the assassin Celaena, the crown prince Dorian and the head of the kingās guard Chaol. While book one looked more like Celaena and Dorian would be together I always held out hope for the latter. And then I read Crown of Midnight! That book was one of my overall favorites and I got to watch this relationship form. It was beautiful and then everything blew up. I started the third book in the series and was instantly disappointed because it felt like an entirely new series. So while I have stopped reading it since then Chaol and Celaena will forever be one of my favorite ships.Ā
10. Supergirl-Kara and Mon-El
Mon-El returned to Supergirl last season and while Karamel was apart for the majority of the season viewers got to see a more mature Mon-El. There has always been much debate over his character as well as his relationship with Kara, but I have always been a fan of the Daxamite. In this season he returned to the present from the future where he was a part of the Legion of Superheroes and he was married. Kara, still recovering from the aftermath of season two, was thrilled to see him, but much had changed. While moments of this season were aggravating the two still had some great chemistry on screen. It was still very clear of their feelings for one another, but yet again Mon-El had to leave. This time taking Winn with him (which is a rant for another day). So while they might not have a future this is another ship that will always be one of my favorites.Ā
9. Victoria-Lord Alfred and Drummond
This ship instantly pulled my heart strings and ultimately (SPOILER ALERT) crushed my soul. Lord Alfred and Edward Drummondās relationship started in season one of Victoria, but truly got its own story line in season 2. As expected in this masterpiece drama there were twists and turns that kept this couple part. Given the time period two men could not be together and Drummond was engaged to be married to a woman. But what none of us saw coming was his death. I still cannot believe it. He will be truly missed in the newest season which will air in the new year.Ā
8. Anne with an E-Anne and Gilbert
Netflixās Anne with an E returned with a second season this year and we were blessed with more Shirbert moments between Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe. While the beginning of this season saw Gilbert at sea (going off from L.M. Montgomeryās novel), there were still some great moments between the two characters from Anne writing him letters about theĀ āgold,ā to Gilbert not noticing her hair and letting her know it was good to see her. And who could forget this important moment (above) from the finale. Fortunately for us the series has just gotten picked up for a third season. I cannot wait to see whatās in store next!
7. Daredevil-Matt and Karen
While against popular ships I found myself shipping Matt Murdock and Karen Page hard as I began season 1 of Daredevil this past spring. In season 1 I took every moment I could get between the two of them and then I was a little too excited when they gotĀ ātogetherā in season 2. While it didnāt end well for the two of them there were some really great moments I find myself reliving on YouTube. I have not watched season 3 yet (mainly because I want to continue to watch the Marvel Netflix shows in order and I have only just finished The Defenders). With the recent news of the show being cancelled I can only hope these two end on good terms. (Even if it is not romantically as I may hope. Please no spoilers.)
6. Set it Up-Harper and Charlie
This romantic comedy quickly made its way into my heart and into my top 10 favorite movies (I KNOW). This is all thanks to its lead characters Harper and Charlie. These two assistants were witty, relatable and just had an overall great chemistry that I am upset they are not together in real life. I have honestly watched this movie far too many times and each time my love for this ship gets stronger. I feel like the movie ends too quick because I want to know more about what happens to them. It might ruin it but would it be too much to ask for a sequel, Netflix??Ā
5. Legacies-All of them
Okay, so by saying ALL OF THEM I donāt think Iām necessarily cheating. This show is still in its beginning and still establishing itself. They are still finding their ships and we are discovering the characters. But I have to say I like so many of them that itās hard to choose just one pairing. Julie Plec has done a FANTASTIC job of having a lot of her major cast interact with one another and they each bring out something different in one anotherās characters. One day Iām shipping Hope and Josie and the next I like Hope and Raphael. You can really tell good writing and characters when you can like so many different combinations and not feel mad about it. If you arenāt watching Legacies make sure to tune into the CW because you are missing out.Ā
4. The Originals-Klaus and Caroline
Yes, you did see this ship on my list from last year and that is because Klaus and Caroline are one of my top OTPs. I was excited to see Klaus on the Vampire Diaries so it is no surprise that I was beyond excited to hear of Caroline coming to the Originals in its final season. It was great to see the pair in the same room again. They were both parents now and had grown so much. Every time they recognized that in each other I got chills. So [SPOILER ALERT] while KlausĀ āhad to dieā I am extremely glad that he and Caroline got closure for their ship. In a way they were endgame and as a Klaroline fan, always and forever, thatās all a girl could ask for.Ā
3. Dawsonās Creek-Pacey and Joey
Dawsonās Creek was my summer binge this year. I wanted somethingĀ āretroā that was just about regular teens (no superhero powers or magic). Going into this show I obviously knew a good amount of spoilers seeing as how it started in the late 90s, so I knew that Pacey Witter and Joey Potter would eventually become a couple. I now just had to wait for the when...and while at times it might have felt excruciating, I took any and all moments between the two characters (even before season 3 when things really get set into motion). There is just something so great about a ship between two characters whoĀ āhatedā each others guts and tease each other constantly. It was well worth the wait because these two have become one of my favorite all time ships. While I am permanently paused on season four (pre their first break up) I have watched a bunch of spoiler videos to know that these two wind up together, which warms the heart.Ā
2. Brooklyn Nine-Nine-Amy and Jake
While looking for a new TV show to watch earlier this year it was suggested to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine. (Only once I started binge-watching the show did it get cancelled and then thankfully renewed by NBC.) What a great choice it was to start watching this show. The void that was left by The Office and Parks and Rec was instantly filled by this sitcom. The characters and story-lines were hilarious and of course I couldnāt help but fall in love with the slow-burn of Amy and Jake. Again due to spoilers of coming into a show that already exists I knew the two would wind up together, but it was still so great to be a part of. The two are adorable and while the story line does not always revolve around their relationship you know they are still together by a quick line they say in a scene or two. They are just so right for each other. Right now I am catching up on season 5 (about mid-way right now) and I cannot wait to watch the next season premiering in January. So excited to see where their relationship is headed.
AND NUMBER 1 FOR 2018 GOES TO.....
1. THE 100-Bellamy and ClarkeĀ
Thatās right last yearās number 2 became my number 1 in 2018! While separated for 6 years with Clarke on the ground and Bellamy in the sky the two found their way back to one another. You could definitely feel the tension between the two, which made complete sense after all their time apart but there was still something that brought them back together. My heart still melts when Bellamy finds out that Clarke is alive from Madi and seeing Clarkeās face when Bellamy tells Diyoza that she matters. This ship is the slowest burn of my life and while Jason Rothenberg may still claim that the two will never be (and that we should read the books for that) this latest season gave us Bellarke fans a reason to hope. From Octavia calling out Bellamyās feelings and saving the traitor who he loves (OMG) to Clarkeās looks every time Bellamy and Echo were embracing. They are the first two to wake up out of the pods and meet Harper and Montyās son. They are deeply connected and I can only hope for moments like this next season. For now Iāll just re-watch my favorite to hold me over (and that includes Bob and Elizaās SDCC interviews which were adorable).Ā
Ā Hereās to another year. Cannot wait to see what is in store for 2019!!

Hi! š I hope your are doing well. Congrats on the article. The reading will probably be okay. Are you a fast or slow reader? I read rather slowly, especially if I'm enjoying what I'm reading. It sticks with me better that way, but it takes me longer to do things. š
My semester ends next week, then have finals period. l'm taking Summer courses tho to get ahead. I get what you mean. I don't party, but around TH and F there's a certain restlessness about some of the students to drink/part. (Pt 1)
Ugh, I hate group work. š Best of luck to you. Maybe your for a decent group. Anyway, I prefer morning courses. I get up at an obnoxiously early time to attend though. Iām fine with it though because it lets me take my courses in a block with out breaks, so once Iām done, Iāll be done for the day. š„ Probably an unpopular schedule though. Oh, so My Immortal can actually be constructive to writers. That makes sense. Itās what a writer shouldnāt ever do. About JK, I think itās an attempt (pt 2)(pt 3) Lowkey donāt recall my train of thought..Anyway, wow, I definitely agree with your statements about Lena knowing Karaās dual identity. Snapper knowing wouldnāt help anything, since heās too minor a character to do anything useful with information. Lena knowing would create more depth, tension, plot possibilities etc., which is whyād it would be a shame for her to be left in the dark. Also, I feel her not knowing (or at least theorizing Karaās supergirl) is ooc. I suppose the writersā āhavenāt had an issue with that based on what theyāve done to Alex. :-/ Hmph. Iām still so annoyed about that. Partially, because Iām a SuperCorp shipper, but mainly because itās an insult to Alexās personality to force her to advocate on Mon Elās behalf. Who was your favorite character from S1, btw? Iād probably go with Kara, but for S2 itās definitely Lena. Anyway, yes Lena looks so amazing in the trailer! Heh, I intended it to be a soft FMKā¦I was going to make it all Katie, but wasnātā(4)āwords, words, something, but wasnāt going to be that cruel to you. (Hopefully that fit with my previous thing). Smh, youāve no qualms though do you? ;-) Iām kidding. Your answers were well thought outā¦even though you didnāt kill anyone. I canāt blame you though. I donāt think Red K! Kara is all that bad, but sheās definitely intimidating, so is Kate. Anyway, letās see FMK: Lena, Morgana,and Kateā¦ :-/ 3 M'kay, thatās hard, especially since I love them all and ship SuperCorp. (5 TBC)āwords, words, something, but wasnāt going to be that cruel to you. (Hopefully that fit with my previous thing). Smh, youāve no qualms though do you? ;-) Iām kidding. Your answers were well thought outā¦even though you didnāt kill anyone. I canāt blame you though. I donāt think Red K! Kara is all that bad, but sheās definitely intimidating, so is Kate. Anyway, letās see FMK: Lena, Morgana,and Kateā¦ :-/ 3 M'kay, thatās hard, especially since I love them all and ship SuperCorp. (5 TBC)(6) Uh, letās see. Iām going to assume they are all brought to current times, so the 21st century. I would marry Morgana. You know what? Iād marry Morgana S1 or S5 because Iāve so many emotions for her and what she went through. Iād want her to know someone would be on (*cough* and by *cough*) her side. Also, she has magic thatās cool, but not the point. I donāt really want Supergirl to kill me or be sad. I wouldnāt kill Lena as of now; sheās not done anything wrong. Also, her company is (TBC)(8?) So, yes: M:Morgana, F: Lena, K: Kate. Hmm, I see yours and raise you: FMK: Lucy, sheās a vampire now but has some control over it | Kara Danvers, more so S1 in personality, but sheās still elects to become a reporter and encourages you | Lena, before she met Kara and is still learning to be a CEOā¦I guess thatās a younger!Lena? Idk. Okay, that should work. I hope you have a good day and night. Do you read comics? I donāt, but was curious if you did. U seem to know some lore. :-)
Heyyy! Iām not so sure Iām a fast or slow reader, it depends on my state of mind, if I take my meds and external interruptions. UsuallyĀ I can read pretty fast if itās something Iām interested in but I tend to miss things and have to read it again, with school things Iām the worst. I still have things from last year that I never got around to read and one of them was about superman (I miss studying cinema because we could have an entire class about superman and co and then write fanfiction of the world as an activity). We donāt have summer classes here, that sounds interesting, itād be nice to get ahead, also itās about to be winter here so after JulyĀ weāll get maybe a month off and then itās back to being unresponsible adults. Iāve nothing against drinking and partying, I like drinking (parties are usually weird but sometimes itās cool) but donāt freaking leave class to do it, go after the class, how disrespectful is it to leave the poor teacher there waiting 20 minutes to see if the rest of the class will show up or theyāll have to do with six or seven people? Also you pay over 1.000 bucks a month to study and you donāt give a shit about being in class? itās throwing money away and itās disrespectful to whoever is paying school, even if that someone is yourself. Iām not those kids that say you should only do whatās right and never skip class never drink or do anything because you have to study instead of throwing your life away. But school is expensive and respect is something you should have for everyone (unless someone is a jerk, because itās not murder if the person is a jerkā¦jk)
I never liked studying in the mornings but itās sort of better, however, my classesĀ only exist at night, there is morning journalismĀ classes, but itās in anotherĀ neighborhood and we have to cross the bridge and thereās no cool campus. I like my campus.
group projects are the worst. They end friendships, they end marriages, they end happiness, they lead to murderā¦ itās never fun. I always imagine that scene with the guy getting pizza and coming back to the place on fire and people bleeding, or that one from Mean Girls with the fighting over Aaron Samuels in animal style. Those are the only representations of group projects that are realistic.
I love how you just started to talk about JK, had two words in and
Honestly Alex has been so oocĀ this season itās almost sad. No offense to Sanvers, but I think even that relationship is a bit ooc.Ā Not the fact that there is a relationship but how it is being handled. Not gonna go into it cuz I donāt want to rant here. but I would ship SanversĀ if they had put a bit more of effort into getting them together notĀ āI donāt want a baby gay rn,Ā so letās be friends. PSYCHE I just got shot in the most harmless area of my entire body, let'sĀ make out!ā
The same Alex that thought James wasnāt good enough for Kara and decked Maxwell Lord for existing would never make excuses for someone that is basically the dumb alien version of Lord with worse hair and more aggression and more pretending to be a #goodguy whoās just trying so hard and changed because after 9 months on earth as a grown man he decided to read a book, feed himself and clean his own messā¦ or pretend to clean his own mess while Kara actually does it and he just sits there and says sheās annoying because she doesnāt want to run away from her problems. (hey look, rantingā¦ she said with surprise in her voice for some reason)
My favorite character was definitely Catā¦ and Kara. Both at the same time, I canāt choose between them, please donāt make me. and now itās Lenaā¦ and still Kara even though sheās basically dead inside and that girl who cries because her boyfriend is moving away and it will destroy her life because that person she knows nothing about and met 9 months ago when he tried to kill her and has been lying to her and shoving her self-esteem down ever since is apparently the most important person in her life and she canāt live without him. he cooked her breakfast so he canāt move away and face his responsibilities, sheās the best thing heās ever known, not person, thing. That woman in the best thingā¦ god, this is so gross I cannot continue even to joke about this. so yeah, Kara is SUPER ooc this season, but I still love her and have faith she will recover from this terrible illness and come back to us, I miss her.
Yes! I would totally still marry Morgana even season 5 Morgana. poor thing just needs a hug and a friend to tell her sheās not a monster for being born different. I might start crying now so Iāll change topics.Ā
DefinitelyĀ Marry Kara, no questions asked. Fuck Lena because, I mean, just look at her. And Kill Lucy, my poor bby, but sheās a vampire so she has to go, control or not,Ā āvegetarianā vampires are dumb.
I do read comics, not as much as Iād like, but I also watched all of the DC cartoons (minus Legion because it looks dumb) most of Smallville and Lois & Clark and when I want to know some more I read about the storylines and all, like even when I donāt read the comic itself, I read about the comic. I wonāt say I know all about everything, but I can hold my ground, I guess, Iām also not above admitting I donāt know/havenāt read enough about one subject/character and reading about that on one of the sites I trust. Also watched a lot of Marvel cartoons and most of the movies aaaand I read a lot of Marvel comics, specially Balck Widow, Hawkeye, and Young Avengers.
Did you watch any superhero cartoons? They were a pretty big deal in the 90ā²s and early 2000ā²s.
Hope you have a great day and night šš
