Sometimes it becomes one of those games where it's like Ja'Marr is going crazy. Basically whatever the look is, I'm throwing it to him.

One thing I didn't expect to love about the finale is the fan reaction to the final scene. Because the narrative intent is very clear. Innie Mark chooses himself over his outie, something that's been a clear theme running throughout the season. It's bittersweet and painful because of Gemma, but we're supposed to also be celebrating, that the innies are choosing themselves. That Mark chose Helly over what his outie wanted.

And yet when I go on social media and look at fans reactions, so many of them didn't feel happy for innie Mark. Gemma is their main concern, and he made Gemma sad so fuck him!

It's so simplistic and emotional but I kind of love it? This character we barely knew until 2x07, this attempt at doing something interesting and deeper with the dead wife trope, we're supposed to care about Gemma, of course we are! All of outie Mark's actions are driven by his love for her, they had to make them convincing, make us root for them. But we're not supposed to care about her more than everyone else, more than the characters we've been following since the beginning. And yet somehow the actors and writers and directors just did their job too well, because in that final scene I'm seeing so many people ignore everything else going on to focus solely on Gemma and her pain.

And I love it. I don't care that fans are ignoring the themes and the story and the basic morality of innie vs outie Mark. I love how much Gemma is loved. She's a side character, she's thematically in a fight for narrative control through outie Mark, and innie Mark won this round. And yet despite how well written and acted and shot and built up those final moments are, so many people care primarily about HER. What should be a moment of bittersweet triumph is turned into pure tragedy by so many fans, because that's what it is for Gemma and she matters. More than anyone else.

What I loved about Cinderella's Castle is it is so entirely about Ella. We know starkid can handle a show with tons and tons of characters but I found it quite refreshing for it to be so wholly her story? I think it was a lovely choice for this show and man Bryce did such a perfect job of it, she is truly such a star

The way I will simply never recover from this page:

Vegeta's Panic and then IMMEDIATE affection for his new baby

Vegeta being excited to have a daughter

Goku assuming his wife Magic'd their children out of herself

Supreme Kai being embarrassed for Goku

Beerus getting wasted

Bulma saying she will raw dog her husband frequently and expeditiously with her whole chest, in front of god and everybody

Whis being like 'i gotchu babe 💅 but i gotta borrow ur man first or there'll be no more boning for anybody lol'

[puppppppppy]

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

I just need everyone to know that I fucking hate Hamlet prince of Denmark. This stupid fictional man makes me so goddamned angry I need to squeeze him like one of those rubber toys where the eyes pop out and shake him so violently like a child discovering snow globes for the first time. I fucking hate Hamlet prince of Denmark oh my god.

I'm sure it has been said a million times already (it's a sad tale, but we post it anyways) but heartbroken the new live London recording of Hadestown cuts so much, especially from act two.

I get you about the hetero vibes of JD. Like there are CPs who act like they have been married for years and I am inclined to believe that and there are CPs who are just happy their job is to flirt with their homies and they lean into it. The latter is JD to me. Like no matter how much they would flirt, I won't believe they are actually together. I can belive they are best friends, even soulmates but not a couple

yep, exactly! i mean, JD also act like they've been married for years in a way, but as i mentioned in my other reply, it just feels like more of an inside joke and feels much more platonic than romantic

and they most definitely have fun flirting with each other. i think it's as entertaining for them as it is for us. especially for joong. i think it's a well known fact that no matter how insane you think you are about JD, you can be sure that joong is more insane about JD than you are. and i fully support him in that <3

Watching old elisabeth (2003-5) housecams and like. I'm just wondering how you would feel if you were an old person with sissi nostalgia and walked into this musical expecting all that, but then about halfway through act 2 some guys suddenly start having a surprise dubcon bdsm scene on stage 😭

i either have a personality disorder or the itsm bc explaining to your therapist how even though i have low empathy and will step over corpses to get what i want i will cry at videos of humanity less bc i relate but more of an outsider looking at an animal in the zoo and being touched bc it has something you don’t have it’s beautiful but not cause i feel it and that’s why it touches me im disconnected from that

[George] said that he LOVES to write about Arya's adventures in Braavos. He said he could write whole novels about it. That received a huge applause until he joked that maybe he could put off Winds to do so. [x]

--

...But he is really enjoying writing Arya's story. He could write an entire novel of it. He could write an entire YA novel about her…(at this point the audience starting clapping and calling out YES! DO IT!) [x]

George is taking so long writing TWOW because he keeps having to refocus and remember that he isn't writing "The Adventures of Arya Stark" 🤭
