#I will never shut up about this show

[sunlighthroughthe-ashes]

the whole episode was perfect, but right now i just want to talk about two things:

I. sunjae in the (changed) present is an idol, mature, perhaps even a little jaded — but the minute he pulls out that photo of him and sol you can literally see the years disappear from his face — the sheer vulnerability and raw yearning in his eyes as he looks at sol!!! (give byeon woo-seok his flowers for his phenomenal acting!!!)

II. god, the bridge scene was sublime. for sunjae, he's meeting sol after more than a decade of silence, but she's been lingering in his mind (like incense in an abandoned temple) for even longer. for sol, she risked life and limb in the past to meet him, only to be catapulted into the present without the solace of seeing him, finally reunited with him even though it's the one thing she wishes he wouldn't do. you can see her terror and profound relief, twinned in her eyes. you can see the complex mathematics of their relationship — the delicate interplay of nearness and what poet and activist audre lorde calls 'the marvelous arithmetics of distance:' you can see that space, those fourteen years of separation collapse in on themselves with sunjae's "it's been a while (i missed you)," and sol's "yes, it's been a while. (i missed you too.)" you can see the exhausted gratitude and deep affection radiating from sunjae's face when sol says "i was waiting for you" and he realizes it's HIS sol, the one who protected him, chased after him, cared about him. she's it for him — the only girl he's ever loved.

the moment is so beautiful it seems suspended in honey — a little slow, a little sweet; unbearably tender: exquisitely painful.

just brilliant writing. i'm in love.

Got to the point of my rewatch where I finished episode 10 of triage. Bawling. BAWLING. The scene of the ER team trying their hardest to save Tin, Sing's mask splattered with blood, the blood at his feet... Tol absolutely losing it... It really drives home what Tin has built. Who he is. Why Tol fell in love with him. Genuinely one of the best scenes in BL. I think the fact that Tin's death isn't permanent doesn't cheapen it at all, because it IS permanent. Tin is never the same again after this loop. He's a different, meaner, more jaded Tin. We do lose him. But it's okay - he can become loving again. But we still get to mourn the Tin we got to know. What a wonderful doctor he was.

Nancy Drew is really the perfect show and it has a little bit of something for everyone

Doctor who - the quantum mechanics of the sci-fi genre - it's as absurd as it is relevant.

If you're a fan of The Expanse, do yourself a favor & watch this. If you haven't seen The Expanse... well, I would just say go watch The Expanse, but it would be better to watch this and be spoiled on some elements, but convinced to watch the show, than to never watch the show at all.

[too0bsessedformyowngood]

I’m completely normal about this show

[laurrelise]

still not done talking about the fact that aidan gallagher got cast to play one of the most plot-important characters in an adult superhero show among a cast of grown, professional actors at the age of 13, fresh off of a nickelodeon children’s show and managed to deliver one of the most layered, memorable performances and become the favorite of most people who watched it

You all hate Korra because she's short tempered, harded headed, and arrogant like that isn't why you love Zuko and Toph.

You guys only seem to hate thoese traits on a dark skinned woman and I feel like that's something you need to work through before you attempt to come at Korra because at this point your reasons for hating her are so constantly debunked and disproven that y'all just hate her because she's not Aang (you know the whole purpose of The Legend of Korra; to show us an avatar that isn't Aang)

Omg yes i totally agree!!!

And also it shows how other people react when they have to interact with someone who has mental health problems REALISTICALLY. On so many levels. Like there are strangers who just randomly meet Monk at some point of their lives and we see different reactions ranging from a lot of prejudice to sudden understanding. And also there are his friends who didn't really do any research on mental health or something before, they just have to learn as they go, sometimes being awkward, sometimes making mistakes but still trying.

I like that the show is set in times when mental health topics weren't really a common knowledge. Nowadays in America and idk probably western Europe people know way more about mental health issues then people in this tw show did. But where i'm from the situation is still like that. And the show is just so realistic in that regard! And it shows how even without knowing everything about mental health you can still be a good friend and help your loved ones if you have enough compassion and willingness to learn.

Yup my take is a bit personal cause when i discovered this show, i just started crying like within the first 3 minutes of it. Because for the first time in 17 years of my life i saw a character on the screen behaving and thinking like me. For the first time in my life i felt seen.

Anyway, Monk is a great tv show and everyone should watch it

i’ve started watching Monk from the beginning again and and halway through the first season. and what always strikes me about Monk is that when you watch it - actually watch it instead of catching part of the odd episode on rerun - you realise that for a show that is remembered mostly as “that crime comedy with that quirky OCD detective” it actually handles Adrian’s mental health issues and grief really sensitively and earnestly and doesn’t shy away from showing the unfunny sides of it. 

yes, what makes him different also makes him brilliant. but yes, he can’t function without his nurse/assistant and his therapist. and its humurous but he’s suffering from it. and he overcomes, he’s so brave. he has fallbacks. it’s okay. 

his caracter is written with so much compassion. 

it was also the first show that when i watched it as a pre-teen showed me that therapy is more than the classic laying on a couch in Freud’s office with a bored therapist going ‘and how does that make you feel’ but that its something valuable that helps people. 

[rooolt]

it’s so funny because the whole season was spent with like adaine oisin flirting, Fabian ivy flirting, fig creating a woman for Ruben to fall in love with, hell, even people shipping kipperlilly and Kristen and me specifically making jokes about kipperlilly having a crush on riz, and yet the bad kid x rat grinder ship that was canonized was better than I could have ever imagined

[starbuck]

you can always count on john darnielle to create a safe and accepting environment in which to scream “I’M NOT GONNA DIE IN HERE” in a dark room filled with strangers

[latimeria-fell-from-heaven]

there's just something about this sopping soggy specimen of an alien that makes me want to suck his dick-

was just talking to an irl friend who used to be really active in spn back in 2014. she knows and respects my beliefs (wincest) as i respect hers (d*stiel) but i was laughingly telling her about all the samgirls posting about jared at ACL and she said “huh, weird i cant believe there are actually samgirls out there” and i stared at her…. frozen…. our experiences ….., could not be more different….. i am surrounded by samgirls …. they are all i know.., i think i probably exclusively follow samgirls…. what is going on over at d*stiel headquarters

[mysterynoel]

No, but can we talk about this?

I really do like how it's framed that Kimmy can't do the assignment because, as far as she's concerned, she's not supposed to know how. But after talking it out with Newton, not only does she correct the test, she passes.

And while Kimmy's not really aware she's doing this, she has a similar effect on Newton. Octus starts becoming Newton (more human) the more time he spends with Kimmy. His "woo-hoo" he gives as he drives to the Scary Mary party. Taking Kimmy to homecoming because it's important to her (and then subsequently feeling horrible for letting her down).

I wish we had a second season so I could see more of their relationship after he sent her that text in the finale.

Whenever people talk about Sym-bionic Titan (rip you deserved so much better) someone inevitably brings up that scene where Kimmy is dancing on the table and shaking her ass at Newton and shit and I get it, I really do, that scene is WILD.

But it always ENDS there. No one ever talks about what happens after that.

Kimmy opens up and tells Newton that it's all just an act she puts on. She explains that, due to the fact that she's pretty, she feels like there's this ROLE she has to fill.

Pretty girls are supposed to be ditzy, they're supposed to be selfish, they're supposed to be mean and manipulative and full of themselves.

But in reality she's a very intelligent, very sweet, and very nervous kid that just wants to fit in somewhere.
