#I love this show so fucking much

okay thinking about louis and claudia's relationship: louis is the type of parent that doesn't defend the child in front of them. that lets the other parent yell and berate for however long he wants, and then only talks to them about it behind the child's back. that lets the child think that the parent they are closest to doesn't care about their hurt, that seeming unified as a front with their partner is more important to them than protecting their child's emotional development and safety. like many mothers (or partners) stuck in abusive situations, of course it's more complicated than what we think at first glance. but my guy... as a child who's mother would do that, can you imagine the kind of hopelessness and distrust that instills in claudia/children? she has the impression that her feelings and needs don't matter, not compared to the abusive parent's ego. then the insecurity, the need to build thick walls that claudia develops... that she thought she would be free to choose her own path after getting out from under lestat's thumb. and now? her parent/brother has chosen another abusive man, but this one is older, stronger, more conniving. he has people that work for him, he's not alone... and there's nothing she can do to convince louis of the harm he's doing. man... what the hell is with parents choosing their partners over their kids...

It’s beautiful that feihua was introduced with a fight to the death and as sworn enemies but as the story went on, the audience has to realise that li xiangyi is the only guy who understands di feisheng to the core of his being and that di feisheng is the guy who judges li xiangyi the least as a person; and that their values have always been aligned and that even di feisheng was utterly disinterested in the enmity to start with, he just wanted a sports rival

uhm uh sun and moon show meme go brr

edit: I'd also like to mention that i find it very funny that the image i took of sun was from the body swap video, so thats not actually sun- but it works

[flintsilvers]

btw i think armand probably thought he could save louis some other way and lestat just beat him to it. like theres absolutely no reason to believe armand wanted louis dead/would choose the coven over him. ultimately it doesnt really matter tho bc he wanted claudia dead and he got that, he wanted to leave the coven with louis and he got that too

Dick went to prison in Titans?? -Rotten Anon

I'm getting ready for bed but this is SOOOOO FUNNY to me and I feel the need to tell you the context because it's just SOOO

Like Titans is a comedy. Strap in.

Also because you haven't seen the show, I could tell you anything about it and you would have to believe me, but please know that EVERYTHING I am about to tell you is 100% canon to HBO Titans and the fucking Wattpad style of storytelling is one of the reasons I love the show SO. FUCKING. MUCH.

TLDR: Dick got himself arrested on purpose because he wanted a big kid timeout. But like this post is SOOO long because once I get chatting about Titans I can't fucking stop 🤭😂

SO - partway through Season 2, the Titans have a Destiny's Child style breakup (but it's really more like a Fall Out Boy style hiatus because they all come back later) because Dick tells everyone that he liked about the circumstances of Jericho's death and they're all mad because he's a liar and because ?? he supposedly got Jericho killed. When Jericho's gay little ass admired Dick so much that he THREW HIMSELF in front of the sword (I can talk more about that in another post).

Anyway, everyone is mad at Dick so they leave Titans Tower and #quittheband (for now) and there is a 2 or 3 episode span where they are all doing very different things, and there is no explicit timeline for how long they are apart in these episodes. When it follows Gar, it explicit states that he is alone for 3 days before Conner wakes up and in those 3 days he gones insane from loneliness, BUT - the time also seems way longer than days (it seems way more like weeks or months) because it is enough time for:

Conner to get kidnapped by Cadmus and have his entire mind reprogrammed so that he is a Cadmus robot

Gar also gets kidnapped and has BRAIN SURGERY performed on him to become a Cadmus slave

Dawn and Hank move to somewhere in the countryside, start fixing up a house, break up, and then Hank relapses in his addiction and joins an underground fighting ring where he gets beaten up for money

Rachel gets adopted by a group of homeless teenagers

Jason and Rose go back to Gotham and break up SEVERAL drug rings as Robin and Ravager

And Dick goes to prison

And the circumstances of Dick's arrest are HILARIOUS to me

The Titans all go their separate ways, and Dick is in the airport, and Dick asks the person at the check in desk for a ticket to the most isolated place possible, which she says is Greenland - so you expect that he's going to do what he does best - emotionally (and in this case physically) isolate himself and cut himself off from everyone

But then he oh so randomly crumples up his ticket (clearly changing his mind about his plans) and he ATTACKS ONE OF THE AIRPORTS SECURITY GUARDS?? And he gets arrested on purpose. Because he basically - he went to prison on purpose because the way he thought of it, he "murdered" Jericho, so he needed to go to prison to pay for his crimes.

Aka - big baby put himself on a time out on purpose.

And the whole point of the storyline is that it helps him mature and become Nightwing. And there is this element of it that feels pretty White Savior - because when he goes into the prison, he vows that he is "done helping people", but then his bunk mates are all from Mexico and they are being deported - and in their hometown, because they refused to join a gang (or because they fought back against a gang? I wasn't 100% clear on that part) they will be killed if they return, so they are going to make a prison break in order to illegally stay in America to avoid deportation. And Dick helps them with their prison break

And one of them spoke of a spirit named Alezule (I am probably spelling that wrong) who is a protector/savior who will make sure they are safe, and it's like a blue bird (like NIGHTWING) - and the symbolism is insisting that when Dick helped them with their prison break, he was becoming Nightwing

There's also this parallel because one of his worst moments was using his costume and skills as Robin to disrupt a prison transport truck carrying the head of the Maroni (again, bad spelling) crime family - and he left him exposed to be killed by his enemies as revenge for his parents being killed. And this came back around and got his entire circus family killed

And this time he used his skills to disrupt a prison transport and saved a family when he had previously vowed not to help them. Idk

Anyway - another thing I find hilarious about it is that after a hallucination of Bruce Wayne that is projected by Rachel (again, I can expand in another post), gathers Dawn, Donna, Kory and Rachel at a diner together and "mansplains them into putting the Titans back together" (Kory's literal words) - there is a news story on TV about Dick helping the prison escape and Donna literally says "he's on his own, we're not helping him. Whatever cross he's on, he nailed himself to it" and like SHE KNOWS HIM SO WEEEELLL

And so Rachel convinces Kory to go 'save' Dick and so they BREAK INTO THE PRISON, beat up a bunch of prison guards, and when they find Dick, his cell is empty 🤭 because he is gone (and that is not even mentioning the Bruce hallucinations HE was having and the fucking weird ass epiphany he had)

Yeah. He just escaped prison and the show DOES NOT GIVE ANY DETAILS. The show completely glosses over how he did it. (Which is something I kind of love about Titans. They gloss over things that are kind of majorly important to focus on joke conversations and dramatic freak outs).

And so Dick has a federal warrant for his arrest on his head for the rest of the show that is NEVER mentioned again - unless Daddy Bruce somehow magically made it go away 🤷‍♀️

i end up writing a love letter to cooking crush every week now it seems and it deserves every single one. mise en place was bound to win, we knew this. they were always more privileged, more experienced, more technical... more shitty. but once the competition was done they were done. they didn't matter an inch in the story or in the three must-eaters' lives after that. and that's beautiful. and so is everything about fire and dynamite. and honestly? everything about dynamite, fire, and fire's mom. i love all three of them together. they made me cry. i cried watching fire's mom begrudgingly admit to dynamite that she loves the food he got her, she's just not allowed to eat it. i love that dynamite gets a mother who is exactly as standoffish as he likes his relationships. that he has built himself such a thick skin that he can handle it but also any form of acceptance from that standoffishness means everything and he gets all of it. he gets the kind of love he wants, he gets someone who won't take the easy way out and blame their relationship on him, who will stand up for who he is to his mother. something which clearly was a product of dynamite's presence and influence in his life. fire was ready to give it all up for him. he knew that dynamite's parents had disowned him for coming out and he was ready to do it. not just for dynamite but for himself. and he was ready for a while. he was ready when he announced their relationship without even waiting for the competition to be over. he was ready and prepared and he did it, however it turned out he did it. and they made me cry. i love that samsee and metha aren't romantic. metha is just everywhere and vibing and pissing off samsee but always constantly in his life. i love how completely crack samsee and paeng are. i love that all the dialogue in their confession was narrated by prem. this is the kind of crack i am here for and they did it perfectly. i never wanted samsee and metha to be together and i got my wish in the most unhinged way possible. i love how important food was in this show. i love how the relationships centered food. i love how food was a means to communicate in so many different ways - love of all different kinds, across generations, preserving memories and feelings and creating new ones. i love this show so much. i love that it exists and i love that i got to watch it. my one wish before i came out was that the food matters and that it's a main character. it more than did that. i love that the relationships never wavered and they were never the main source of conflict. it was a fun little slice of life and when the going got tough they all got through it together. i can keep going. i'm going to stop. i love you cooking crush.

Something I wanna say that I really love about all the lads that I don't think gets mentioned very often, I love that they all have some sort of quirk with the way they talk

Like T.C. has that thing where he repeats one word three times for emphasis

Ex: "Go, go, go, men!" "I think I'm gonna be sick. Sick! Sick! Sick!"

Benny has a little bit of a lisp and I FUCKING LOVE THAT MM IT GIVES HIM SO MUCH CHARACTER

Chooch (aside from the nasallyness and the accent) tends to wind out his sentences occasionally and also sometimes ends his questions with 'like'

Ex: "Like perhaps exactly what?" (Not the best example but give me some grace it's 4 in the morning) ( also I don't remember exactly when he does the question thing but he does it for sure)

Naturally we're all well aware of Spook's way of speaking and it's so unique that it's difficult to exactly replicate it without having some sort of beatnik dictionary near you, also I'd like to mention that he also (I'm pretty sure) likes to do this little sandwich type thing (it could just be a one time thing but shhhh it fits him let me have this)

Ex: "Wheels man, like wheels!"

Plus he like, does this thing where he, like, starts slow and then like, speedsuptowardstheend! And he also uses metaphor and simile a lot which like same dawg

Also something I noticed that I'm pretty sure I've posted about before but no one gave a fuck was that his mouth is almost always pretty large on his model despite him never opening his mouth very wide and almost never raising his voice which I appreciate

One last thing, I'm a huge fucking vocabulary nerd and whenever Spook uses more complex vocabulary I'm reminded of that BTS video Leo deLyon narrated where he said that Spook is sort of a pseudo-intellectual where he tries to make himself look smarter than he actually is and tibbiaych I think we collectively need to lean into that more because it's actually pretty prevalent in his character but we're usually all distracted by 'OMGGGG BEATNIK TALK FUCK YEAH'

Anyways enough about Spook, Fancy has this very 'elegant' way of speaking where he speaks very slow and deliberately to the point where he chops up words to make sure he's pronouncing them right/to enunciate them

Ex: "I'm a stranger in town my dear, and I was wondering if you'd direct me to your *aparTmenT*" "Geez, ya don't have to get so PER SON AL" <-- (from BHC) "(that segment of Dibble Sings Again where he's reading out the newspaper to T.C. and Dibble)"

And then of course Brain has his adorable little stutter, in which I'd just like to mention that usually his stutters kind of drawl into whatever word he's saying next, and he never really breaks up a word to stutter, his stuttering is always in between words, also usually he starts a sentence with that lil 'Duhh'

Ex: "Duhhhlet's see, if the big hand is straight up, and the big hand is on nine,uhhh-" "Duhh, somebody tell me what I'm missing! My sinuses is clogged, all eight of 'em!" "Duhh, the treasury report is as follows; quote, 'we are broke.' unquote. (Flat broke?) Well, uhh, no, uhh, we owe the west side bowling alley $4.36, so you could say we're flatter than flat broke!"

Also a few more things about the little lad, he usually has the worst grammar out of the gang, except on the rare occasions where he says something smart and he also doesn't stutter

I'm at season 3 of Star Wars rebels and the amount of people that have adopted Ezra is hilarious. Like Hera saw this boi and immediately asks Kanan to take him as his apprentice, Rex sees him and immediately decides that he is his little cadet and is responsible for his training and don't get me started on Maul, he sees Ezra for a few seconds and calls him "apprentice"

Our Flag Means Death season 2 spoilers.

Holy shit. I finally know what I want to be when I grow up. (Ignore the fact that I'm supposedly a legitimate adult.)

I wanna be someone's unicorn.

No, but seriously (not really very seriously). I vote we give the writers on ofmd the power to completely redo earth and humanity and life and turn it into what they think would be cool. I'll do it myself if I have to. Just hand over some of that good Izzy Hands level character development to me, pretty please.

No, but actually seriously, it meant everything to me to see Izzy's breakdown and the sawed off unicorn legs from said breakdown getting used to make a new leg for Izzy by the people he was in denial about seeing as a real sort of family that he could maybe depend on, care about, and let care about him.
