#I just want to gobble him up

He’s just so….

[arktixx]

silly guy that has no eye

is somebody gonna match my freak (being completely and genuinely earnest and unafraid to sound cheesy or weird and just honestly expressing joy and interest in being alive)

wrt the amazing digital circus, i'm very interested to see where it's heading; personally i don't think the show has really clicked with me yet. some elements of the pacing and character acting don't QUITE do it for me, but i definitely feel like it's a show that's still finding its footing and figuring out exactly how it wants to execute its storytelling

but anyway, what i think is most interesting about it so far is that this one line delivery from jax has been the most effective hook for me

like this episode had an entire scene with two characters confronting the existential nightmare of their current reality, but THIS is the moment that really got me thinking about what it must feel like to be in this situation, and how consequences might manifest in future

ik kaveh is pretty and peak twink energy but don't you dare belittle and neglect this man. he walked so dendro would run. he was its face for 2 whole years. he was the victim to so many fake leaks i am almost doubting this drip marketing. he was the real dendro archon to me and many others for these 2 years

and he has the sluttiest waist ive seen ever since xiao

AND he's the first canon he/she transfem character as his model was leaked to be lady_catalyst so. have some decorum and thank her 🙄

[bragganhyl]

well... despite my best efforts i sure as hell managed to land Berci in the middle of a love triangle ✌️

which is both very funny bc pffff lmao imagine fighting over him but at the same time it's really frustrating bc... yeah

[chappellrroan]

jjk s2 looks so pretty like they really paid extra attention to it

[bobafish]

i want to eat basil hallward look at how cute he is like he's so pookie bb gurl look at his big sad eyes and his littol glasses and his silly littol melancholy smile. He's so soft actually I think. The only things the 2009 movie did right was basil and the blowjob. We're besties actually but I wouldn't say that too because all his besties turn out to be toxic exes <33

[harmonybarmy]

very brave of the yellowjackets writers to be like 'hey, what if eating your friend was a bad thing?'

[exaltior-a]

Why does homestuck have such interesting character themes ffs. I'm constantly thinking about how Grandpa Harley was literally an object and how it relates to Jake's objectification.

so lovek, in a modern verse, is full-blooded russian & his family is very rich because they have connections to underground crime networks, but lovek is very like. sheltered when it comes to that. because his father doesn't want him to have anything to do with that. he owns a little book store, funded by his fathers money ofc, and lives a pretty secluded and quiet life. he spent time abroad, esp in america, cuz he is secretly obsessed with cowboys and wanted to spend time at a ranch with horses and stuff. like a crazy person.

SaL anon here friend for just a brief note. This episode just made me sad. Not the good sad-but-the-hurt-comfort-will-be-worth-it sad, just sad. I'm not going to bring The Discourse into your inbox, but I think I'll just pretend this episode doesn't exist (except of course for the fabulous attempt at sex doll resuscitation by Nancy) until next week. Also where the hell are Paul, Marjan, and Mateo??!! These characters are more interesting than just fun banter, give them screentime dammit!!

This episode was....fine. Like, I laughed at some of the Owen/O'Brian shenanigans but I do not give one single fuck about O'Brian so why would I care about his neo-nazi nephew? I said in the tags on a couple of posts that I'm not here to watch the FBI investigate a terrorist plot, or some kind of Criminal Minds torture-fest (next week is the episode I'm kind of dreading a bit 🤷🏻‍♀️), there are other shows out there for people who enjoy that! I'm here to watch first responders go out on calls! Sometimes they're funny, sometimes suspenseful and exciting, sometimes the crew is in danger and it's stressful, and sometimes they get confronted with something that applies to their personal life and helps to move that arc along for them.

We have.....not gotten a lot of first responding in these last two episodes. And consequently, we are getting very little for the 126, and basically NOTHING for Paul, Marjan and Mateo except for a few quips. Nancy too, but Brianna has ATE every scene she's been in this season and she at least got to have some input on Tommy's storyline in the first 2 episodes. I don't just want Paul, Marjan, and Mateo (Grace, Nancy, Judd as well but they're getting *something* at least) each to have 1.5 episodes centered around them, I want to see them involved in other characters' stories every week and doing their jobs on multiple calls! We had ONE team call out during the episode these past two weeks and probably the same next week. This is like, the other side of the coin from the problem the OG is having which is too many calls with nothing to tie into the mains' arcs and long set up to fill time, where as LS is having some enjoyable calls but so few of them and they are trying to cram too much outside plot into the episode so we loose the first responder element a bit.

As for the Carlos/Tarlos stuff it's also...fine. (I'm more worried about them leaning into the creepy factor next week like his last detective storyline because that shit is Not For Me.) I personally enjoyed the scenes with Iris and Carlos (though it's hard to reconcile them being so ride-or-die after having zero idea they were anything more than vaguely acquainted through Michelle before now), and I liked that he believed her when the detective didn't and I like that they aren't trying to pretend like she's "cured" now. I'm not too worried about the angst because I get Carlos kinda shutting down and blaming himself and everything he and TK brought to Iris' doorstep all at once, but I feel like we aren't getting ANY idea what is going on in TK's head. He had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene with Tommy but that was all about Iris not where his head is at, he and Carlos aren't talking about it, does Owen even KNOW?! Because we haven't seen Owen and TK even talk this season (WHAT?!), he hasn't gotten to sit with Judd or Nancy or any of the 126 and vent, not even his sponsor has had a mention! This IS a Carlos centric storyline so I'm not surprised we're seeing his POV and his interactions with Iris, but because the show is spending SO. MUCH. FUCKING. TIME on this Owen plot right now too, were not getting to see TK's side of this (though hopefully next week!), while still having time for a call (singular because god forbid these first responders get to do any first responding).

It's all just...fine. It's fine to watch, I'm laughing, and holding my breath, and yelling for Carlos to look out behind him, but then the hour ends and it's all just....fine. I get ending on the Carlos cliffhanger, but I would rather have some angst in the form of TK calling and calling and leaving measages to ask when Carlos is coming home overlayed by Carlos getting taken, than to save it all for next week and rely on torture for the angst, but that's just a personal preference for me and I wanted more than just one episode of TK being frantic that something is wrong and Carlos isn't answering. 🤷🏻‍♀️

To end on a lighter note, Nancy deserves an Oscar, even if it's justa handmade one by the team, for her dramatic performance reacue of Crissy (alexa, play "Chrissy Wake Up"), and Tommy and TK can get little mini Supporting Role statues as well. Definitely a highlight of the season so far.

Ok, today i found out edward would he drawn to my brain. This is both hilarious and terrifying.

I literally think he won't be able to keep up.

It'll go from fascinated story, to weird grossery list, to trauma, to a parade of crushes, back to magical fantasy world, panic i didn't do my homework.

Maybe he'll do my homework, so I'll have all the peace and quiet to finish my daydream... and I'd be tied into a parasocial bond that's one-sided and unaware of.

if i wrote twilight there'd be a kid in edward's class who Zones The Fuck Out and daydreams about a story they want to write, and edward would just tune in to watch like a tv show when he's bored in class and he gets genuinely invested and eventually he's like "i know EXACTLY how they can fix this plot hole that's bothering them but how can i tell them that when they don't KNOW i'm their first beta reader"
