#I really liked the way they did the trial in the episode tho

Yellowjackets Writers:

Me still thinking it shouldn't have happened so soon, while trusting that their choice will pay off somehow:

[princeloww]

reminder of some things we learn from the broadchurch short stories

- daisy is (or at least was) a taylor swift fan

- alec's suit was so destroyed after finding pippa that he couldn't wear it anymore :(

- claire was like... forced to leave wales??? and was involved with this guy called gethin who was selling bad drugs to people and she saved some random teenagers from his drugs???????? its a whole thing. gethin had sisters who beat up claires grandmother because of the whole drug thing

- tess was cheating on alec the day he found pippa (in a car at the side of the road)

- tess like really did not like alec at all during the sandbrook case and he was kinda a shitty husband by the sounds of it

- jocelyn was friends with jack marshall and I HATE IT ITS SO OUT OF CHARACTER TO ME

- sharon has a partner(?) called darroll (that looks spelt wrong but that's how I spelt it when I wrote this list 11 months ago)

- there's apparently a wrong way to eat asparagus. idk

- claire is on tesco mobile

- on a similar note there is a big tesco near broadchurch. and alec has been to it

- and claire knew about alecs condition cos he had one of his episodes in front of her in big tesco (he was off his meds)

- when alec got home from finding pippa he saw daisy sleeping and panicked because he thought she wasn't breathing and it's so sad. it is actually so sad he shakes her awake in a panic and scares her and then has a mini breakdown

- like he's even more traumatised than we thought guys

- beth was getting mental health support during the trial (kinda) (patricia)

- maggie is kinda a badass she does a whole drug bust

- maggie also keeps a picture of danny on her desk :(

- ellie tried a different rank before doing the traffic thing but she couldn't do it . she did stop a guy killing his wife tho !! Me 11 months ago wrote "slay queen ig" next to this

- erin kelly hates lesbians (no not really I just wish she would've written about maggie and jocelyn) (instead of jack marshall)

- again . alec hardy is so fucking sad

this is all canon from the broadchurch s2 short stories by erin kelly & chris chibnall

Episode 7 Rent ! spoilers!

So I don't know if somebody else already talked about this, but in the last episode of interview with the vampire, EP 7. I saw this post on Twitter and thought it's my time to be Sherlock Holmes and find out what really it could be.

What really is that, tho? Well, I really think Lestat is being starved by Armand or the cavern members, but I don't think the Cavern MEMBERS could EVER stop Lestat and starve him. I meann, c'mon, he's one of the most powerful vampires on the planet, has ancestry blood and u think u can stop him? The only person who could stop him, imo, and immobilize him and starve him, is Armand.

Did we forget he can make fire with his hands, freeze time, hypnotize and erase memory?

We can see it's a bruise, But dark, and shallow, almost rotting u could say... You can see it from another photo.

So, my point is that Armand is starving Lestat, Half to death but not quite. I mean, he could clearly stand and walk. U also can clearly see that he has this half-rotting bruise on each wrist. So, either way, he's half alive, maintained by Armand. And manipulated by him to perform the trial.

OR

It's just a shadow on his hand bc of the lights reflecting, and suit, or just a bruise Sam has on his hands. But I doubt he would get hurt like that.

ANDD in the next preview of the last episode, we see Armand say that he LIED to Louis and that he basically did this on his OWN.

---

He said he didn't have a choice, HE LIED.

He did have a choice!! He manipulated the cavern members and LESTAT, so therefore this was his OWN plan. He starved Lestat to death, almost rotting(I mean He is) SO that means maybe he revived Lestat. We know Lestat wasn't really dead, but Armand "revived" him possibly and used him for the trial, starving him and rotting him for his own use.

AND THIS IS NOT OVER!! This is from Episode 6, I believe. He was going through the trial pages!! If you think Armand didn't have a choice and didn't manipulate anyone, then what is this??? The master manipulator is at work, honey!! He was checking Sam’s work!!

I HAVE CONNECTED THE DOTSS!!!

What do u guys think???

THE WRITERS WILL PAYY FOR THISS!😭😭

"the Nobel trials" headcanons cos I basically never talk about zsaku va on tumbler?......."the Nobel trials" headcanons cos I basically never talk about zsaku va on tumbler!

(BTW these are gonna be mainly about the listener as apposed to Zaros)

The listener writes ANGRY poetry about...well most things but especially Zaros

If you've read "the cruel prince" you'll know about the whole cardian writing Jude's name a bunch if times in a notebook cos he "can't stop thinking about her?"

Yeah that

Fun fact! Did you know that Alexander Hamilton wrote angry love letters to Lawrence? Saying things along the lines of "How dare you steel my affection without my permission!"

Yeah the listener writes the exact same sorta stuff exept they keep the letters to themselves

As like a coping mechanism for how to get the weight off their chest

It's definitely a "he fell first but they fell harder" situation in my eyes

Somone once said in the comments that the listener knows all about the meanings of flowers as opposed to Zaro's knowledge of them and I'd just like to reiterate that here

The listener has a LOT of unbridled rage that they don't know how to deal with or how to healthily process

Mf gose to BED angry

And as a result they claw at their bed a lot

The bedding, the pillows, the bed side

EVERYTHING

their servants can always tell if they've had a rough night cos they'll be changing the bedding and it'll literally all just be shredded

Which the listener actually dose feel really bad about

The servants that have to change their bedding are the only servants in the entire Palace that have heard them say "im sorry"

None of the other servants belive them tho

All of the servants violently ship the listener and Zaros together

Obviously neither of them know about this but any time the servants see them together its all "Uhh just kiss already!"

Also this is basically cannon (as seen by the way they treat Zaros) but the listener is kinda a violent slut shamer

That's kinda all for now but I'll probably add more on as more episodes come out

[bee-named-alex]

OMG. ok so IWTV s2 ep8... Finished it like two minutes ago so here are my thoughts. SPOILERS.

Yeah no there's no way I can wait for like two years for the next season. No fucking way.

This episode was amazing. I don't want to say masterpiece (because I'm sure there are flaws that I'm just not observant enough to see) but it is for sure the word I'm thinking.

Lemme try and go somewhat chronologically.

The start, heartbreaking, the speech "the suit changes nothing" oh my hell. The rocks that's fucked no thank you. Armand saving Louis "again" and Louis not even wanting to be alive. The way he talks about it "My rage was denied, my rage killed..." like he was out of his body and acting on autopilot (like he seems to do a lot actually)

His burning down the theater and killing of Santiago filled me with so much joy. They very much deserved it and omg he got them. He was like an angel of revenge (and he looked angelic too, sorry, no I cannpt be normal, he was gorgeous)

Armand's "I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you" and Louis' "You can't" and yes he cannot but he will try (by erasing your memories i guess lol)

Meeting with Lestat in Magnus' lair hurt. "Here's your death" and the kiss (after not even wanting to be with armand really and just doing it to hurt lestat) and the speech after and we're basically threatning him with loneliness again and it's just so... no words really. Hurtful and tragic for Lestat (especially since he was the one to save him like that's fuckeddd)

Dubai. "That's the end of it" halfway through the episode and their weird happiness like it was obvious something was gonna get fucked and I'm glad it did.

Investigative journalist Daniel Molloy using his powers for good aka making these two vamipires divorce (which he almost did 50 years ago but this time it's on purpose). Love him.

I love how he eases Louis with the little stuff, the discrepancies (that were in the show on purpose they make no mistakes yay), and how with every second Louis doubts everything more and more and how with every second Armand's eyes show a little more fear.

Lestat actually being the one to save Louis wasn't totally unexpected but tbh Armand kinda had me fooled. Not in this really but like I thought he was a passive participant of the trial like he just didn't intervene and not that he was the fucking director??

And now I'm not sure if he just didn't love Louis as much as we thought or if he was actually that much of a coward. Probably the second one tho, given how much he did to secure Louis' love (gaslight, lie, change memories... you know totally normal stuff) and how afraid he is to be losing it now.

Louis fucking Armand up even if it's just a little is great, I have been waiting for it. Go away Armand and think about what you did. (I love you so much but nope rn you're not staying)

And then Louis goes to New Orleans and meets Lestat at his lowest and omg my heart hurts (thank god for "siri pause" it made me laugh)

And their conversation about Louis' turning and Claudia and San Francisco and the hurt and the tears and the little voice cracks and there I was crying too. With every word I wanted to push them together so that they would fucking hug and then they finally did and I know they'll be alright (as alright as one can be in this situation)

Then the tv thing gave me fucking whiplash like lmao. Fictional memoir my ass. Don't you disrespect my boy Daniel like that. Speaking of, Daniel has been turned. OMFG? Like I knew he would eventually and I knew it would be Armand but I didn't expect it now??? And we didn't see it but fingers crossed we get it later.

And there must be something more to it, Armand with his disgust wouldn't turn him just out of anger, so there must've been another reason (Devil's minion or maybe to save his life idk)

Louis in his tower alone (? Lestat is getting ready for tour I hope) and he knows that they are after him. But he owns the night. Powerful shit. He might have a death wish also idk.

I just. Am done. This was something else and there was a lot of it and my mind is still spinning a little.

Everyone who worked on this show deserves the world and the actors even more so and I need the next season like yesterday.

[phoebehalliwell]

which colors do you think each sister looks best in

ooh good question i am very fond of prue in warmer greens (like her tanktop in they’re everywhere) and i really like her in blues and white her white dress + denim jacket from ex libris come to mind and her cute white i think it was off the shoulder too from reckless abandon when her hair was curled. to die for. that was pair with a super cute boho skirt too i like when she got more bohemian with it. if i’m to pick a color category. i mean obvi she looks great it black but i’m never like oh my god yes she’s in black. i like blues and greens i think that’s my final answer. and white she looks really good in white.

love love Love piper in some earth tones love her in like a burgundy maroon love her in brown leather rich warmer colors are always so great on her. rn i’m picturing the burgundy she had on in the super hero episode. witches in tights. and her leather jacket(s?) in trial by magic and we’re off to see the wizard. and long live the queen too i think she wears brown and she looks great. also i know i just said black isn’t a wow color for prue but it kinda is for piper - i think maybe bc it’s a rarity? but her club look at the end of lucky charmed and her i’m a badass look in a witch’s tail pt 2 are both serves. not to mention p baxters black flapper dress w the dark brown lip hello!

for phoebe it's tricky because i feel like she does look so good in every color they put her in red a lot which was fine orange didn't get enough glory even tho she would rock that shit (thinking specifcally of her outfit in primrose empath - some may call it red but to me it is orange) i wish we got to see her in more yellow olive green specifically is a great color because she has more mediterranean coloring but it doesn't quite fit her vibe but that olive green bikine with the gold body jewelry in the s6 premeire hello? what's next on the color list blue. i liked her in teals because again that really works with her skin tone but i don't love royal blues. purple was also hit or miss but there were def some hits like her top at the club at the end of scry hard a pale lilac super cute. pink was also hit or miss because sometimes they'd go too pastel and it made her look way too tan but like her dress as piper's bridesmaid was super cute and her dress on her blind date with jason was super cute. but you know what my final answer is? white. she always looks sooo good with her olive tone in a clean white with gold jewelry i'm thinking her off the should top with gold hoops in love's a witch and her (granted, off white) sweater with the lil blue flowers in bride and gloom her white tank top with peach and pink i think in vahalley of the dolls pt 2 her white skirt with a denim off the should that we saw for like three seconds in forget me not. final answer white and teal <3

emerald and ruby!!!!! paige looks soooo good in the rich, cool jewel tones, especially in silk she's so striking with her pale skin and dark hair (when she had reb/blonde hair i did really love when she wore peach and pinks) but like her green top at the club in size matters when they heal the p3 sign her vampire red fit her red corset top in total makeover world edition. my jewel toned queen <3

(episode 5 spoilers)

okay okay okay so

they said it was agatha’s trial because of the blood moon and the veil of death etc. but….is it? isn’t rio supposedly some kind of death witch? where the hell was she at the end of the trial? she never came out of the treehouse.

what if it’s actually her trial. maybe…there’s a chance she could bring alice back. maybe that’s the test.

I CAN HOPE, OKAY.

after watching a second time i’m feeling more like the stuff post-trial might actually be real and not some wild hallucination. agatha was clearly distraught, also clearly having some uhhh feelings about having power again (until it evaporated), and then after the trauma of her mother’s ghost and unintentionally killing alice, teen comes out to yell at her, and agatha clearly switches into trauma defense mode, which for her is fight, aka her being as nasty and psychologically damaging as possible (bet she learned that from her asshole mother). agatha hurts people to keep them from hurting her, to keep from feeling the pain and guilt of the hurt she’s caused. so first time i watched, it it all seemed very fast, but rewatching it i can see more nuance and i’m not as convinced that it was all still part of the trial. butttt idk the teen throwing everyone into the death swamp bit still makes me question. (hmmmm what if it was his trial?)

related tho, everybody seemed to be having some sudden personality switches when discussing how to punish agatha. like they all got mean in a way that seemed very 90s horror movie to me. so like was that an acting/directing choice for fun and camp? or was something happening like idk them being possessed? or the road/trial influencing them maybe? but idk because in the other trials they’ve all seemed like themselves. in episode 5 they seemed to break character, acting like middle school mean girls.

on another topic, when teen is like “that’s all this has ever been about for you” referring to power….bad line. like he literally was trying to convince agatha to take him on the road TO GET HER POWER BACK. so him acting all betrayed like that makes no sense. he never thought she was going for any other reason. he’s not that naive. even if he thought she was starting to care about him, that doesn’t change anything. what other reason would agatha be going for???? she went because rio sent the salem seven after her and she had no power to protect herself and no way to escape them. what else would agatha even want from the road? ESPECIALLY someone who says he’s studied agatha and is acting like such a fanboy up until now. he should fucking know who she is, what she’s after, and what she’s capable of.

soooo unless the whole point was that he’s been purposely manipulating her (and everyone else) the whole time…it makes no sense for him to say that. but if he HAS been manipulating her this whole time, why did he have such an intense reaction when agatha turned on him and said “you’re just like your mother”? like, i read that as him losing his shit. if his whole baby-witch-betrayed-by-his-hero thing was an act, why would he lose control like that? i guess you could argue she still hit a nerve, but ugh. i’m just not buying that teen/billy was faking the fanboy thing.

like, is he supposed to be a villain?? ehhhh really dunno about that.

it does make more sense now that teen actually could break wanda’s spell over agatha. since he’s billy.

but like…agatha knew who he was the whole time? how? how would it even occur to anyone that wanda’s mindstone-fueled trauma-induced westview-hex child could somehow be alive in the real world (and oddly three years older than he should be because the westview twins were ten years old)? and agatha was under a mind control spell that whole time. she’s barely had time to get used to being herself again. she tried to drive a fake car in episode 2 because the lingering bits of the spell were still messing with her for fuck’s sake.

i wonder if teen cast the sigil on himself. hmmmm.

idk man what the fuck.

alice :(

[the--highlanders]

so I actually enjoyed the war games colourisation way more than I thought I would!!

the colourisation itself was SUPER nice. having looked through existing colour earlier images right before watching I was really happy to see they'd matched them, and there were some really nice shots. the trial sequence in particular worked for me, the purple lighting was great.

that being said there were a few points where the new inserted shots didn't quite fit the vibe of the colourisation itself, most notably with the exterior shots of gallifrey - I loved having them in there but new who has established such a warm palette, whereas the war games portrays the interiors on gallifrey as very cold and sterile. on the one hand I love that contrast and think it suits the time lords, but because the outside shots were so clearly inserted into the 60s colour scheme, maybe the intention wasn't there, so it was missing a bit of unity? idk I don't know colour theory

I haven't seen the war games in ages whoops so I wasn't 100% sure on a couple of bits I thought they'd added? but I'm sure there was a bit of extra footage in there. especially when they were getting away from the romans early on.

cutting the serial down was a bit 50:50 for me. the beginning was really solid, with the only issue basically being cutting straight from the germans capturing them to driving to the british base. but I definitely don't think they should have cut out all of the stuff with the resistance and kept so much of the back-and-forth at the base. they could have balanced that way better, given a better idea of jamie and zoe's characters (because both of them get some really good character work in those resistance sequences!!), and actually introduced the resistance leaders rather than have the doctor, jamie, and zoe be oddly familiar with them with no context. that was probably the biggest misstep of the production for me and I'm not sure how well it would translate for someone who isn't familiar with the war games or two's era at all

on the flip side I really liked some of the cutting between scenes they did. the part where they were introducing the soldiers' programming and interspersing it with the resistance soldier confronting the controller in his zone worked so well. there were definitely a few points where you could see they were trying to speed up the slower type of 60s television, and the acting didn't quite match the pace they were going for, but it paid off in a few moments

introducing more music also worked for me!! between the cuts they made to the resistance scenes and just classic who's relative lack of solid character moments they didn't quite have room to establish specific character themes for jamie and zoe, which I would have loved to see more than anything. but it also didn't jar with the existing music and the vibe of the original serial for me

the new who tidbits were fun as well, and that's coming from someone who's not a big fan of some of the easter eggs they've put in the animations (tho I am a bit of an animation hater in general, and ig I was viewing this as its own thing rather than an attempt to recreate a serial). I'm not a diehard believer that the war chief is the master, but playing the master's theme over his scenes delighted me and added to some of those moments. having the new who doctors as options for two's next face made me laugh so hard. and I really did like seeing bits of new who-style gallifrey

the regeneration sequence was.... cool to see how they did it and where they'd pulled footage from? blatantly-fake jon pertwee at the end made me laugh ngl. again I figured it would be more fun as a thought experiment than taking it as an attempt to alter canon and I stand by that. season 6b believers rise up etc etc

overall I had a great time!! idk maybe it was because I haven't actually seen any of two's episodes in like, a year probably, but I enjoyed it. loved seeing my blorbos in colour. jamie's highlanders costume getting a brief bit of colourisation was a highlight, as was the tiny bit of colourised evil of the daleks victoria. I don't think it's necessarily a great way to actually get someone into the war games or two's era generally, just because the cuts could leave you a bit confused. but at the same time being a fan of two's era can sometimes feel like we get thrown crumbs every so often and little that's more substantial. so having a bit more of a big deal made for us for once was super exciting, and I hope people who'd never seen the era before watched and maybe were a bit won over <3

[yaminerua]

so I have Thoughts about the War Games in Colour, one being it definitely needed a longer runtime than 90 mins bc it was breakneck pace almost the entire way through and quite a lot of stuff that felt important got cut. Also some of the cuts themselves were really janky wtf was happening in that scene with the Doctor and the scientist working on the reprogramming device? That set of cuts felt very messy.

Also with the regeneration I was hoping it would make some kind of reference to s6B (bc aside from audios and novels which contain stories that happen post-war games with the Doctor still in his second incarnation there are also classic who tv episodes like the Two Doctors and Five Doctors which are very clearly set after the war games but before he regenerated so there should be a reference to some sort of gap between the trial and his actual final regeneration to account for that) but they decided to make it look like he really is just regenerated right after the trial;;;

which also just bc I’m a twojamie fan makes me sad bc of all the 6b stories where they were reunited. It would have been nice to find a way to slip it in

the regeneration scene used an edit made by a fan and the original fan edit DID include references to 6b stories, in a quick set of flashback images, clearly setting the real regeneration as taking place after those and not after the trial and I had hoped they would keep that element in but. Well.

anyway I choose to continue as I have done in running with the whole thing where the original regeneration in the trial room is interrupted before it can complete. And so all his adventures working for the agency and being reunited with Jamie happen, and then the regeneration shots that take place in the tardis are from a later date after all of that.

give me this pls

also lmao using the Master’s theme around the War Chief is NOT helping best the War Chief is the Master allegations lmao

All in all tho it was lovely seeing the added colours. The characters really pop and Patrick’s lovely blue eyes really get to shine;;;

[torrentialstardust]

UMINEKO: THAT ONE MATRIX SHITPOST EXCEPT BUT THO IT'S THIS

I wasn't planning on trying to make this look good, but I'm honestly pretty proud of this, especially page 1 here! This is based on a silly post you can find here. I thought it would be funny in the context of the Episode 5 ending.

I had an idea for another piece involving Dlanor, but it got a bit complex for me so I'm shelving it for now. I did enjoy drawing her here though. I tried to give her larger cheeks and eyes to emphasise her childish appearance. For some reason I keep drawing Battler more femininely, which isn't necessarily bad but I cant stop it. I see this man and I womanise him. Still a fun time all in all!

Not sure what's happening next in the readthrough, but I think it's funny how the love trials can be summed up as "prove you love each other by doing the plot for me". I also really love Ange and Featherine's dynamic off on the side. I'll try and do something with them next week.

(By the way! I wanna take a second to shout out Seasons of Gensokyo again! It's dropping this Sunday and I did some art for it! I'll probably have a lot of Touhou stuff on this blog too for the next while! Like this evening I got some of Hisami if that's something you're interested in OK bye!!!)

[atopvisenyashill]

actual book plots

jon and the pink letter - i mean all of the tension is completely gone because he’s already made the decision to leave the night’s watch when he gets the letter, which is such a weird decision. he could have waited to have that conversation with ed about deserting AFTER sansa & the letter show up to give it some tension at LEAST. also the joke between him & ed about trying not to knock the wall down makes me think it’s like a joke for them about how the wall will come down in the books. i might be reading too much into that tho.

cersei’s trial - they just clearly don’t know what to do with her which makes me really wonder what it is she’s doing in the books. she doesn’t act any different than she did before the walk of atonement like she does in the book. she’s just stalling for time with a spock haircut until the finale and then blows up the sept. tommen’s suicide is interesting i guess.

margaery’s trial - again just like a nothingburger but we’re eating it all goddamn season. i think it’s clear aegon, arianne, the sand snakes, and probably euron as well are heavily involved in the turmoil during the trials of rhe queen’s but they cut all those characters so they had to do whatever the hell they did. no way in hell does cersei NOT have a trial by combat before margaery has her trial of the seven tho.

jaime breaks the siege of riverrun - like. completely stripped of all the context of the books. no dealing with the blackwoods & brackens. no reminiscing on the legacies of men like criston cole and arthur dayne. just smacks a random frey that’s annoying him instead of red ronnet for disrespecting brienne. he doesn’t even get either of his boyfriends that hate him, he has to drag fucjing bronn along instead of ilyn or addam. he’s literally not even part of the kingsguard anymore he’s just doing this in some ugly ass random armor. Dumb.

sandor on the quiet isle - they really named an episode the broken man and didn’t let ian mcshane give the and a man breaks speech. these guys aren’t just bad writers they’re also stupid. rory was really good but just like brienne killing stannis is completely antithetical to her whole character, sandor killing the men who massacred the quiet isle is completely antithetical to his character. no one on this show is allowed to grow.

arya in the house of black and white redux - maybe a little repetitive especially in the beginning. i think they should have pulled more heavily from the books here and had her wandering the streets of braavos meeting people more instead of just like, dusting and getting shit kicked every few hours. but i really enjoy when arya interacts with the lowborn, which is p clearly what the acting troupe is, and i loved seeing her work through her emotions when she sees the king’s landing play, like idk, sure it was repetitive but i was still very engaged!

that said having arya do frey pies is insane. i thought last season her going crazy on trant was really haunting and interesting, this was just. they wanted to do frey pies.

my whole face twitched when ellaria started that “i offer you my heart’s desire” rip off scene

r + l = j - i totally understand splitting this reveal up into separate parts because it’s a lot for a casual. however the way it’s done is confusing for casuals anyway, and stretching the rhaegar reveal out over like 10 episodes only for not a single starkling to react to it onscreen is frustrating.

misc thoughts

natalie and dame diana are so good even as the plot gets so fucking weird and lena starts phoning it in because they just keep making her give the same two speeches about killing her enemies and loving her kids in that fuck ass wig. the loras stuff is just hard to watch. this show is so homophobic towards renly & loras and now they’re free ig.

ramin did his big one with the music tho

that “and lady sansa is a bolton. or is she lannister? i’ve heard conflicting reports” line makes me feel very “almost threw hands with a toddler” esp after they all back jon snow’s claim in the finale over sansa’s. hating ass toddler.

also jon snow KNOWS BRAN IS ALIVE. why does it never come up that he KNOWS FOR A FACT because SAM TOLD HIM. also WHY DOES BRIENNE NEVER MENTION ARYA TO JON.

the iron islands storyline feels very tacked on and theon especially feels randomly penciled in. alfie is the only iron islander that isn’t wildly miscast imo.

the moment they leave castle black the writing gets supremely stupid for jon & sansa. why isn’t anyone offering a marriage. why is everyone okay with ramsay openly kinslaying. why is the entire situation with the vale knights so goofy. they were doing a lot aesthetically but i was so annoyed.

they really built up an osha that wound up feeling even more real and layered than the book version through the complete stroke of genius-luck of casting natalia tena then brought her back only to immediately and brutally off her, as well as rickon, and shaggydog for that matter. and for what? more ooh shocking deaths? alright.

i do not give a shit about sansa feeding ramsay to dogs. i need everyone to stop whining about this.

all that said i think kit’s best performance is this season. i definitely still gave him a few points for some emotionless & perplexing delivery - and they were just WAY too heinous omg can he EMOTE PLS - but he plays off sophie very well, and everything from when he sees the giant dying to noticing sansa is watching him beat the shit out of ramsay is really strong. he is still clearly the weakest person in his story line but like, improvement.

the fact that the two dosh khaleen dany befriends don’t even show up beyond that episode really speaks to them just doing a mighty whitey story without any real reflection on why mighty whitey stories are so irritating and racist. i get that the dothraki storyline is also racist in the books but there is something so grating to me about giving dany a friend for .2 seconds only for that friend to disappear into the prostrating masses as she stands Naked And Powerful once again.

oh my god that scene where jorah is introduced in the fighting pits and all the men are freaking out but him and dany are just staring at each other until she claps to start the fight and he nods at her and moves to start. i know that was last season but then it’s like, the next time he sees her he’s trying to rescue her and once again. she is at the center of everything and he is waiting for her cue. only moves when she says start. completely missed the point of everything going on in the book but it made me swoon, sue me.

i really do like the miguel episodes more than the jeremy podeswa and mark mylod episodes, i really get why they had him on for hotd.

Danganronpa 3 Future Arc episode 7

Thonks

(We're back!)

I find it interesting that people blame Makoto for Junko's death.

I get why because he's the one who defeated her. He's the one who won the final trial, learned the truth and beat her at her own game.

He's Ultimate Hope and she's Ultimate Despair.

However, Junko's death is not Makoto's fault. She's the one who pressed the big red button and had all of this set up.

If anything Makoto was trying to prevent her death.

But of course her followers can't blame her so they pick him.

Man... I'm like barely a minute in and I'm on a rant.

Monaca in a dictator outfit while a bunch of Monokuma's at a bar.

Not a visual I expected.

Well Monaca is definitely embodying Junko, doing a lot of her mannerisms and such.

I do find it ironic that Junko's death gives people such despair, it's what she would have wanted.

And Monaca made herself the heir to Junko rather than Komaru.

Junko Enoshima the 2nd aka Monaca Towa doesn't really roll off the tongue, maybe workshop that.

Ayyy Nagisa!

Okay okay the Warriors of Hope are in on this too and know where Monaca is.

Okay but Nagisa's reflection dead ass looks like Mukuro.

I'm not the only one who's sees it, right?

Awh hell yeah Komaru's blasting Monokuma's with a microphone and taking names.

And Toko is here, trying her best.

I love Komaru's inner monologue of how she was just a normal high-school girl before all of this, while taking out Monokuma's.

Immediately the "hopes not my thing neither is despair" her whole I'm just gonna leave that up to my brother attitude I love it.

Have I mentioned I love the Naegi siblings? Because I absolutely do.

And Genocider Sho is here. I love how Komaru has befriended both Toko and Sho.

Hmm maybe let's not tell Komaru that Makoto was about to either be locked up for an eternity, or if Munakata had his way, executed.

Nooo not the Byakuya fantasy.

What in the world... Why he look like that? Why she look like that?

Ima skip this...

I feel so bad for real Byakuya who is somehow aware of all of this... Poor guy.

It's cool seeing Byakuya's inner monologue. It's no hangman's gambit but it's interesting to see him think stuff over.

And it is suspicious that the killing game isn't being broadcasted, shows they've got something to hide.

I love how Byakuya isn't even that far up in the Future Foundation but takes control abd everyone's just like yeah sure why not.

"Do not fret, for as long as I draw breath this organisation will not fall. I swear it on the dignity of the Togami name."

Nevermind I see why, he was the ultimate affluent progeny, dude was quite literally born to lead.

And it's nice to see it, especially seeing how he's changed and doing this to help his friends.

Also his name means nothing in this world and yet he makes it mean something, man so cool.

Toko and Sho heading into Monaca's base.

This should be good. I love that Nagisa said they don't have the man power and yet these two are just running inside.

It is highly impossible to be more Junko than Junko.

That's just basic maths.

"You're not gonna lay a hand on my brother!"

... No one let Komaru meet Juzo or Munakata.

Actually... Someone please do.

Wait, she surrendered? Huh...

Oh wow she really did blow this pop stand.

And there's a Monokumamobile.

Monaca be acting like every ex Junko cosplayer.

I kinda like this Monaca, just like oh yeah the whole Junko thing eh that was a phase I was going through.

Just laying down and playing games and eating crisps.

I don't trust it tho.

"I don't get it, how did you become such a lousy excuse for a human being."

WOAH!

Komaru!

Wow Komaru Naegi really gives no fucks. She's so over all of this, can't blame her tho.

I... Forgot about the whole Nagito was their servant thing... Huh.

Honestly going soo far down the road you think you're become a Despair filled Nagito... Yeah that'd make me stop in my tracks too.

Nevermind that is the evil smile.

So there gonna kill one of the previous survivors.

... Please don't, Makoto almost lost it when they fake killed Asahina I don't think he can handle a real one.

And Monaca knows but won't spill.

Wasn't prepared for Monaca to actually go to space.

Sure, why not maybe she'll find Kaito.

... Too soon?

I like how it actually gets to Sho that one of the past survivors could be killed.

Komaru being upset at the idea of losing Toko is so sad and sweet.

Aww Komaru and Makoto video reunion.

.... Komaru! Better ways to phrase it, don't say hey Makoto my dearly traumatised older brother.

Monaca told me someone's gonna die because of you.

Like, I get it we don't have much time but don't rip the plaster off that hard.

He's not gonna take this well.

Especially when he's standing next to a survivor from the first game.

Byakuya's attitude of that's complete bullshit, is my thoughts exactly.

"Somebodies gonna die.. Because of me...."

SEE! What did I say?! Oh man I was already concerned for mental state of Makoto Naegi.

And this is only increasing that concern.

I am stressed.

Hello! I'm doing a rewatch of Supernatural! I started this halfway through season 9 and it's the first time I've done this. I've seen the first 6 seasons multiple times over the 18ish years but never caught up so I'm doing that now and having a wonderful show. I would honestly watch these two idiots do anything! Hope you enjoy the ramblings!

- I honestly love Castiel the Angel after he's experienced humanity too. Its so interesting.

- I didn't really get Samstiel before this season but now I do. I like the private moments between Sam and Cass, it's like they understand each other on a level they don't see elsewhere.

[heatwa-ves]

For the character headcanon ask game!!!! Firstly, the Tenth doctor as I like that guy and secondly,,,, Klavier or Kristoph Gavin or both because they are just so epic to me,,,,,

under the cut because I talked a Lot

ten

sexuality + gender: canonically genderfluid yippee!! as for sexuality idk. rose tyler.

fav ship: tenrose u will always be famous. tensimm you will be famous too I guess because what the fuck was. Everything. in the end of time. not my fav incarnation of thoschei but I do enjoy it . "you could be beautiful" doctor do you have something to share with the class.. OH. TENJACK ALSO. I am perpetually haunted by the scene in utopia wjat the hell is this

fav platonic relationship: doctordonna is LEGENDARY. they're so good they're sooooooo good. entirety of S4 is banger after banger after banger I'm excited to watch the 60th specials and see donna and dt again but im still dragging myself through chibnall era. It's bad.

general opinion: I used to like ten more than I do now not that I dislike him but watching twelve set a gold standard for doctors and I think none of the others quite reach it. am I biased because I'm obsessed with peter capaldi? No comment. anyway. ten is really good and has a lot of strong episodes particularly with donna ofc. I like his relationship with martha in theory I just wish the show didn't hate her guts . Midnight is one of theeee best episodes on television and ten is so good in it he's also particularly good in waters of mars tho I do wish the time lord victorious was dragged out a bit longer like for another episode or so before that finale. His regeneration never fails to make me tear up especially the part with rose... she WILL have a good year. sobs. Finally obligatory mention that fear her is a GOOD EPISODE IM SICK OF THE HATE.

klavier

sexuality + gender: bi + genderfluid she/her pronouns would solve all her problems

fav ship: klapollo I love u... t4t

fav platonic relationship: his relationship with trucy they're sooooo silly look at this art . also obsessed with what we see of his relationship with kristoph I'm thinking about them always and I wish we saw more

general opinion: she's my fav from aa4... No one is surprised. cute + silly + has problems + sees the protagonist and is like omg hi. did you know I'm bisexual. did you know im really into you . just saying. 0.5 seconds after meeting. I would like it if the game went more into his feelings on losing kristoph and then daryan and then kristoph again all back to back but I guess that's what fanfiction is for. guilty love is such a good theme I don't normally listen to just instrumental songs but.... She's beautiful. the concept of the gavinners is fucking stupid so I'm living in my dream world where they're a normal band not a weird law cop themed one.

kristoph

sexuality + gender: idk nothing in particular .

fav ship: he and phoenix definitely fucked at some point

fav platonic relationship: once again gavin siblings. I wish the game also went more into how his relationship with apollo is like I assume they were working together for a while pre 4-1 .. it's interesting to think about but there's not much to go off

general opinion: beautiful evil man. I love him and it really surprised me how many people hate him??? the godawful mischaracterisation I've seen on ao3 haunts me like yes he's a cunt but he wouldn't fucking do THAT. he's a cunt in a different way. please hate him correctly at the very least. I want to know what goes on inside his head. he was definitely lying about why he killed zak there was more to it than just being a petty bitch like the black psyche locks and everything... I don't think he's the sort of person who'd resort to serial murder over just not being chosen as lawyer there's definitely things he didn't tell us. I like him. he's also kind of stupid like if he just hadn't tried to be all poetic describing the cards in the first trial he never would've been caught??? and come on now why is he using the same fancy rare nail polish that he poisoned as a gift. If he hadn't used it they couldn't have proved he gave it to vera. I could not fix him but I could fuck him.

Hi! I'm pretty new to tumblr and I have no idea if it's appropriate to come into your askbox to talk about my drdt chapter 2 theories but I'm not confident enough to make my own post and it's more a fun thought I just had than an actual theory

/! \ this will contain spoilers for drdt obviously as well as THH in case people who follow you somehow havent played the game

the gist of it is, someone who is not the culprit could have messed with the crime scene.

It's mainly because so far the chapters seem to have reference to THH in more ways than just with the motives (it is probably too soon for it to be a pattern and ngl i kinda hope its not because if it is, with what we know of Rose' money issues she might end up the ch3 culprit and I want her to live so badly. would make the whole series a bit too predictable also, although i dont personally mind that kinda stuff)

because like. Chapter 1 had someone who got close to the protag, ended up betraying their trust, chose the murder location to frame someone specific, failed their murder attempt and died as a result with the real culprit technically acting in self defense (although its not 100% the case for Leon)

and in chapter 2 we have the victim who died a pretty quick and violent death (at least im pretty sure chihiros cause of death was a violent hit to the head? been a really long while, i could remember wrong) but the murder scene make it seem more complicated. And the victim died just after they decided to change/improve themselves in some way also

In both cases someone who has nothing (at least probably, in Davids case) to actually do with the murder have some pretty big part of themselves exposed during the trial

idk who would mess with the murder scene and for what purpose (Vero. for funsies. What a Legend)

I'm probably wrong cause that doesnt really explain the evidence at the crime scene. like. at all, i know

like Idk what the spinny thing has to do with anything (I mean you could put a bunch of tape on the handles just 'cause, i guess? but it would make more sense if it were involved in some sort of mechanism which you wouldn't need if Arei was already dead)

same for the ball of clothes and the flickering light

Whoever put the fish there though, whether its the actual killer or not, I'm pretty sure they did it to make everyone think the crime couldn't have happened at night time and fish water was actually never part of the murder itself

that would make someone physically strong like Levi the killer tho and even though it would make sense (pretty sure at this point that Arei has his secret) I feel like its too soon for him to die? Eden got more development and makes more sense to me (which breaks my heart, I love her)

Hi! Don't worry, none of us know what we're doing in this website! :D

No need to be shy about making your own posts, but it's also fine to talk/ask me about whatever crosses your mind! So, your theories/thoughts.

The possibility that someone other than the killer screwed with the crime scene is one I've seen before, and technically speaking, something like that most likely happened. I think it was an accomplice of the killer (Eden!Blackened Levi!Accomplice gang rise up), but a third party is part of other theories.

The fish are the main thing: given Nico's account (fish were all still there when they last fed them, which can be deduced to be around 7:00 - 7:30 PM of the third day, the day most of episode 7 takes place in), whoever took the fish must have done it at around the time the characters believe the murder happened. But there's no reason for the killer to bring the fish unless they were trying to confuse the time of death, which would only matter if they can have an alibi at the time the fish disappeared. But if they have an alibi at the time the fish disappear, they can't have taken the fish! (Which, btw, eliminates Veronika. Unfortunate, they won't let women do anything these days, not even mess with crime scenes for funsies smh)

So either it was someone unrelated messing with the crime scene, or an accomplice took the fish there to give the real killer an alibi. I'm planning to do a post summarizing my theory on how exactly the whole mess happened, so uh, stay tuned ig. But if you're interested in the "David screwed with the crime scene" idea, I recommend reading thebadjoe's theory on the murder. I may not agree with it, but it's still a fantastic post and a really fun read!

As for most of the other stuff, yeah Arei's death probably wasn't very simple. Explaining the odd contradiction of her wrists being bound but a mechanism clearly being involved (as you mentioned, tape on bars and flickering light, among other stuff) is a whole mess. It's part of why I'm not really sure this is absolutely supposed to parallel THH. Like clearly there's some similarities, but it's basically impossible to know what aspects of a case would be similar and which ones wouldn't. So, uh, yeah. Who knows.

I do agree Eden's the killer though! Why else would she take the tape from the gym? If you don't know what I'm talking about, basically the gym lockdown and the tape disappearing seemingly overnight makes it impossible for anyone but Teruko, Ace or Eden (or I guess Rose if she's lying) to have taken the tape. But since the tape also disappears from the background right after Ace wakes up... yeah, just Teruko Ace or Eden. But we know Teruko didn't, Ace couldn't have done it without Teruko noticing, and Eden got knocked to the floor when the tape disappeared from the floor :p

And yeah, it hurts. It will be a sad day when the killer gets executed, regardless of who they are, but especially if it's Eden T_T

The ask you sent me is honestly such a cyber bully because of how hard it is to answer - YOU go first!!!!!! I think I have favorite “arcs” but it’s hard to pick seasons!

Lol thank you! Tbh yeah arcs are easier but let's attempt to do this 😂

Season 2 - supreme, characters are established. Dean is a wreck. Sam is just trying to help. We get Bobby. Supreme.

Season 1 - also supreme. Rewatching it now. Forgot how amazing it was tbh. Peak era.

Season 14 - great plot, horrible execution. Keep coming back despite myself.

Season 3 - good episodes, have trouble watching it bc *anxiety*

Season 5 - the end of an era

Season 4 - also really good Sam just infuriates me dropping this season lower

Season 10 - another beautiful arc handled mid to horribly

Season 13 - really solid season. We deal with *some* of Dean's mental health issues which I appreciate

Season 6 - I love domestic Dean so much. Dropped because soulless Sam makes me mad and Dean deserved to have that and not have it ripped away.

Season 11 - okay I haven't really watched this season all the way but I liked the Amara plot pretty well. Also the episode Red Meat lol

Season 7 - it's not bad it's just incredibly boring. This is where I started jumping around. Also BOBBY

Season 9 - had some good episodes and good ideas but Sam infuriates me. At least we get the begining of the MOC arc

Season 12 - don't remember this season at all but hey. Don't like Mary. Hate that the show did that. MoL is a cool idea tho.

Season 8 - love purgatory, can't stand Sam and his oocness. Also the trials were not it for me.

Season 15 - haven't watched it. Watched the last four episodes and it led me to watch the show. But that finale was.... *Screams*

Yeah that's the best I got 😂 a lot of it is based on whether or not I like that seasons portrayal of Sam 😅

your turn 👀
