*puts on my Professor glasses* Macky really knows EXACTLY how to talk to Wukong, let's dissect it! M: Looks like things are going smoothly. W: I say, you've been here the whole time, haven't you? M: FFM is your home, but it's also mine. W: Did you find anything? M: Still nothing, however. Now the Jade Emperor is no longer present. The Celestial Realm already gives me an unsettling feeling. M: Wukong...that kid. W: I understand. M: You have to go and talk to him. W: I know! But...he still isn't ready. M: I see. You're the one who isn't ready, yet. How did you even become a teacher! M: He has to be. We all have to be realistic. W: He's just a kid. We can't let him... M: Who says he's just a kid! Why is it him? When you chose him, did you know? W: I didn't know, I really didn't know! I just followed...a feeling. M: Are you not the least bit worried?! This child has all of your special powers, and he always runs into trouble. Have you never questioned this before? Not a single person knows where he came from. Is it not strange?! M: We still have no clue as to whoever let out Azure Lion. All your old foes returned in one swoop. Are you not even a little- W: Then what about you? You also suddenly came back. M: Argh- M: I say, someone must be manipulating us behind our backs. Especially Xiaotian. But they still haven't succeeded. W: Then tell me. What about you? M: Tell me do you want my help or not?! / W: Not long ago you were still against me! / M: I see, you're just a- / W: ...after I assume you'll teach me how to train my own disciples? ~ Xiaotian Interupts ~ M: Look. That kid has made you his idol. You're his one true hero, but you... W: But I what? M: He has to understand, he doesn't need to carry these burdens. You have to do better. You can really tell whose the chatty one in this relationship XD Wukong might be a lil annoyed, but he's tolerant. And Macky is a little playful turd as always. Where Wukong gets gloomy and concerned, Mac swaps between teasing and serious in a blink. Then things get a lot more strained and tense, but unlike their previous fights, it never escalates into violence. Never a growl, never a raised fist. They're right at the edge, and they drop it. I'm very much interested in the psychology of arguments and when it comes to people latching onto (1) thing a person says and relating it slightly off topic to avoid talking about that other thing, like Wukong is doing here. It's so cool seeing how physical they are in trying to visibly control their emotions around each other, and how they keep trying to hold themselves back from tearing in further, always pausing and halting, and switching to another thing. They're TRYING. Ugh. I think Mac was trying to give a comforting smile at the end, but it's kinda warped by the whole ~ everything else. ~ Anyhow, I like how this starts with Wukong establishing, or rather cementing to Macaque that he believes MK is a kid. And while Macaque argues against that, he did also say before that Wukong should talk to him. And they have their squabble, with Mac pushing Wukong's buttons to get him to say something, BUT the fact this gets resolved with he needs to understand he doesn't need to carry these burdens. YOU HAVE TO DO BETTER. Like of all things Mac could have chosen. He's playing right into what Wukong himself believes, that will overwrite the "MK isn't ready" thing. Because let's face it. Mac is right when he says Wukong also isn't ready for that talk yet. He's so down throughout all this, Wukong probably feels himself that he needs to be better. AND by appealing to the fact MK is a kid, without explicitly stating that, just a statement that cannot be denied, BUT is a subject that undoubtedly, even Wukong cannot avoid. Because he wants better for MK. For him to not walk down the same path as him. Macaque has basically nudged Wukong into having that talk he wanted with MK by reframing it differently from what Wukong wasn't ready for. Thoughts? Critique?

*squishes you* anon…anon, you’re telling me..that this was the actual dialogue between SWK and Macky in 5x01. that what i just read is the translated version of the Mandarin dub. correct?

ok ok cool. i’m cool. gucci. feeling fantastic lemme just

WHAT THE FUCK LMK

ok so i ranted in the tags but realized i forgot to say more things (also i was worried i’d exceed the tag limit bc that is a real thing what do you know!)

so, anon, you said Macky knows how to talk to Wukong and yeah agreed but for me it’s for of the sense of “Macky knows how to get his words under Wukong’s skin”

he knows how to let his words sink in and fester in Wukong’s mind, making him reconsider things or another to help speed up certain decisions or choices Wukong is hesitating on. and ain’t it fascinating how despite how long it’s been since either character have talked or interacted with each other, they still know the ins and outs of their behavior and thoughts.

Macky knows Wukong needs to talk to MK but is holding back. Macky after one answer from Wukong realizes that it’s Wukong who isn’t ready for that conversation and switches tactics to try and breach that mental block

Wukong, in a need to avoid the conversation, brings up the questions surrounding Macky’s reason for even being alive again because that is information neither have talked about and oh hey! Macky is avoiding that conversation too! and it’s an important one to have so he pushes for it, but Macky knows it’s being pushed to avoid their original discussion and is annoyed bc “classic Wukong, never wanting to delve too deep into topics where he’ll need to be vulnerable for” (especially when said vulnerability is with his newly re-allied ex friend Macaroni himself)

god i love them

Kat: *about to trip over herself, with her mr. Krabs sounding feet rushing over to finn like the desperate character she is* MC I can’t believe you’ve done this to finn? How could you?!

ME:

Like it was hard?! None of you bitches were deserving of MC’s love so why would you ever think I’d choose “love” over the bands?! Are you dumb? Y’all were nothing but bullies the entire season and then want to gloss over it about, “how much you’ve changed.” The only thing you need to change is a toothbrush because it’s clearly still covered in too much of your bullshit?

I still wish I could have slapped kat but the money was the most satisfying lmao. Why would I ever be guilty when none of these characters have taken MC’s feelings into account? The money was the goal after the first few episodes and it’s been proven that each LI is garbage.

You don’t like it? Cry about it on your Twitter or whatever podcast you’re invited on…like I know you will kat 😘✌🏽

[inwhichiramble]

Chat Noir almost lost his mind over his feelings being played with but WHAT ABOUT US??? WHAT ABOUT OUR FEELINGS, HUH?? THAT WAS MEAN 😭 😭

[fluffypotatey]

YES WE HAVE OUR ROUND TABLE KNIGHTS (that don’t get that actual title until s3 finale) AND THEY ARE MY BELOVEDS

warning: i forgot myself and could not stop talking

first up: Lancelot

beautiful little man 😍 he first appears in s1 wishing to join the Camelot knights but unfortunately that role is only allowed for nobles, so Merlin vomits identity fraud to help Lancelot fulfill his dream despite the man’s wishes to earn his knightly title by merit HOWEVER! Arthur is a harsh and strict teacher with his knights only wanting the best (don’t..don’t look at the ways they get easily bamboozled by magic…that’s tv logic just-just know they are the best in the land!) so Lancelot DOES earn his place with the knights through merit but his ruse is discovered! (bc King Uther is a dick <-separate 101 later) thus he is banished from Camelot but later pardoned for helping aid Arthur in freeing Camelot from Morgana and Morgause (I’ll talk about her later)’s occupation in s3 finale.

next guy! Sir Leon :D

He is one of the only round table knights that served both King Uther and Kung Arthur, making his first appearance in s2 while Arthur was still a prince. Also, according to bbc Merlin fandom lore, Sir Leon has a miraculous way of coming back from harrowing events either unscathed or still alive even though that shouldn’t be possible (which is absolutely a little hole in production’s foresight bc they used Leon a lot to provide info about villains’ whereabouts and how evil they are, but we took it and ran) THUS: Sir Leon is now known as Sir Leon the Immortal bc a Druid gave the guy a sip from the Cup of Life and now there’s tons of headcanons of Merlin and Leon being immortal buddies

then we have Gwaine <3

. . . tits

i mean—uh, what was i walking about?

sO the legendary Sir Gwaine (not Gawain, that’s his medieval counterpart and bbc changed it to this for reasons idk by Bradley, Arthur’s actor will still pronounce it that way just for kicks and i love him)…what could i possibly say about Sir Gwaine?

he grew up a noble with his father being a knight but because of some battle his father died and memory is escaping me by the king Gwaine’s father swore fealty to did not honor his end of their devotional knightly relationship (this implies something…didn’t mean to but it’s funny so i’m keeping it) and abandoned Gwaine and his mother, leaving them in debt

thus leading to Gwaine’s personal and moral dislike to nobility and their corruption. he leaves his home to make a name for himself that isn’t the noble kid he grew up as and becomes some kind of drunkard tavern swordsman that impresses both Arthur and Merlin (and i WILL imply many things here :) bc this show’s main core theme is love of all kinds)

unfortunately he also gets banished bc he attacked two noblemen (who tried to attack Merlin so it was in defense but Uther, as stated above, is a dick)

next up is

who is this man?????

Elyan my hoodie king!!!! 😍😍😍😍

1st appears in s3 and is established as Gwen, aka Guinevere’s, brother! (older brother? younger brother? it’s never specified so you’ll see some smith sibling headcanons that don’t align in terms of age lol (also they don’t have a last name but most have come to call them smith bc they come from a blacksmith uh family)) this man deserved sO much development than he got in the show bc he is the literal brother of Gwen (who is a part of the core 4) but i digress :(

he is hoodie king bc we meet him and he’s wearing a hood and looks so hot in it—i mean, very distinguished and very snazzy and bbc why couldn’t he have kept this outfit all the other seasons THIS ISNT FAIR!

so Elyan actually ran away from home bc he didn’t want to succeed his father and his blacksmithing and dreamed of becoming a knight but Camelot only allowed those of noble blood (huh this sounds familiar); therfore, Elyan, vbelievibg he deserved better, left to better his craft (sword fighting) and make a name for himself that is worthy of knighthood (damn….this sounds sO familiar…..no wonder Lancelot was Gwen’s type—whaaaa who said that???)

we meet Elyan when he gets himself kidnapped by our trusty villains of s3 Morgause and King Cenred (I know i am just throwing names but just trust me <3) as collateral against Gwen for reasons i cannot remember correctly (i am basing this entirely on memory and don’t want to say something wrong bc i know one reason but am not sure if that was a later s3 issue)

anyway, with the help of Arthur and Merlin (and Morgana but she actually there to sabotage them) they free Elyan and reunite the smith siblings and Arthur promises to knight Elyan when he becomes king (and he does! while regant same dif)

and now we turn to Percival!

precious gentle giant (to me!)

unfortunately, Percival gets the short end of the stick with development but bbc provides us with the facts that he is a strong but very gentle man who has a high moral compass and Lancelot ran into him during his mercenary days (this was off screen)

his first appearance is also in s3 but at the very last episode T^T (he never stood a chance) and to show just how big and strong Percival is bbc decided the best way was to show Arthur’s reaction to his handshake which was

it is one of my favorite scenes ever just because of Arthur’s face 😂 someone made a meme of it and i will find it for you

but yeah Percival is best buds with Lancelot in the beginning of s4 but we see him have a lot of good chemistry with Gwaine and Elyan (the people he is shipped with the most) as we see them play pranks throughout the castle and banter (it’s so cute 🥰)

BUT YEAH THERE YA GO!! The BBC Round Table Knights 101 *finger guns you*

all screencaps and is photons were brought to you by farfarawaysite

HOW THE TURN TABLES IT IS 101 TIME WITH FLUFFY :D

ok so

bbc merlin is actually called “The Adventures of Merlin” but everyone just calls the show bbc merlin bc it was aired on bbc and the protag is Merlin (also the intro to the show says Merlin name every episode so we all just agreed that the show was called Merlin and forgot the real title)

anyway

you know Merlin? great, powerful wizard Merlin? the old dude with the felt robes and pointy hat that’s in Arthurian legends?

so imagine that guy is young, a brunet, and the personal manservant to a Prince Arthur and now must keep this suicidal/sword-ho blondie alive in order to fulfill his destiny as the Once and Future King because a dragon under the castle told him

through the eyes of this younger and adorable and smashable Merlin, we get to watch as Arthur grows from a selfish and lonely prince to an honorable and compassionate king (no longer living his father’s legacy but his own), AND we get to watch Merlin’s friend Gwen grow to become a confident and powerful queen of Camelot. AND!!! AND!!!! we get to watch Morgana become the nemesis she is in the legends (I have my own transgressions on certain decisions made for her corruption arc but this is not the 101 for that)

long story short: Merlin and Arthur begin the show as reluctant not-so-friends and end the show the closest of friends and Merlin still never told Arthur his magic until his dying breath and we celebrate this end every Christmas (bc that’s when the series finale ended)

annnnnnd scene

oooooooo

are any of the other knights of the round table there or is it just arthur merlin and gwen? (i mean merlin and gwen aren’t knights either but i just woke up so)

and merlin really never told arthur about his magic? damn

[jackslesbiansubconcious]

dead boy detectives is the first show in so long that I am actually addicted to. Like the fangirl mentality is strong with this one. I finished it yesterday and I’m already re watching. This hasn’t happened in so so long. I need more Edwin content or I think I will explode!! I need s2 rn like it’s unfair that it only came out in a 1 season increment. (Even tho that’s normal) I just think that I need a million more hours of Edwin pursing his lips and standing like a ballerina. I just need it in my soul.

Istg if it isn’t renewed im going to bomb Netflix (after stranger things s5 comes out if course, im not evil) just like BOMB THEM KEEP BOMBING THEM AIRSTRIKE!!!!

I need it and that’s all I have to say.

Some of My TMNT Hot Takes (PART 2) 🔥

Warning: More Opinions

Part 1 Here

I don’t like that in Mutant Mayhem Donnie is not a “science guy” but instead is more of an anime and pop culture geek. I’m not against him being an anime fan (I love anime too) but I wish we saw more of his science and being a tech genius side instead of him just liking stereotypical “nerdy stuff”. If that makes sense.

I don’t like the Punk Frogs (any version).

The 87 crossover episodes in the 2012 series (as much as I did enjoy them & are great episodes) should not have happened. They leave no real impact or development to 2012’s overarching story and just waste time. These episodes could’ve covered more important things that 202 was desperately lacking like like character exploration and character dynamic development. It was just nostalgic fanservice. The arc in S5 specifically would’ve work better as a movie instead of a 3-4 episode arc in the (most likely non canon) final season.

Shinigami being Mikey’s second love interests ruins her character a bit (for me personally). That was a pointless decision that did NOT need to happen. She would’ve been our first recurring female character to not be a love interest, but nope!

People are allowed to like/ship Donnie x April in ROTTMNT (this is coming from someone who’s not crazy about April being shipped with the Turtles).

I ship Yuichi with 2012 Leo more than Rise Leo (still ship Rise Leoichi, but I just think 2012 Leoichi is way more interesting, plus 2012 Leo deserves a good love interest).

The humans in Mutant Mayhem look ugly af (I know that was probably an intentional design choice but still. It looks bad.)

I hate Raph x Casey (any ver). I’ve stated in part one that I don’t like Raph (any version) being in a romantic relationship with human characters and yes, that meant him with Casey. Not only that but Raph and Casey being a couple ruins their whole dynamic and iconic friendship I love so much. I’m all for friends to lovers but they are a line that should not be crossed. Not every friendship needs to turn romantic.

2012 Karai’s hair looks bad.

Fans often over exaggerate Rise Donnie’s character and badly mischaracterize him in fanfics and fan comics to the point it makes him feel like he’s an entirely different character.

Shinigami should have been revealed to be a villain.

Rise Donnie was just as mean to his brother as fans claim 2012 Raph was to his. Yes, they both do love their families and I’m NOT saying either of them are abus!ce (they’re not), but fans praising Rise Donnie for doing similar things fans criticize/hate 2012 Raph for doing just makes them hypocrites.

Venus does NOT need to be in every iteration of TMNT. It gets kind of annoying when fans keep on saying that she should be in all the other iterations when in truth her presence would not make sense based on the already established canon story. The only (recent) version of TMNT where I think her being included would’ve fit the best and deserved to make her comeback in is ROTTMNT.

The side plot of 2012 Karai being mutated and later getting brainwashed by Shredder was a waste of time and the most boring arc in the series.

2012 April, Donnie and Casey being in a poly relationship does not fix anything with their problematic dynamic and massive flaws with one another. I'm not saying you can't ship all three of them together, you do you! Idc But in reality their relationship would be a train wreck, that's why I personally don't ship 2012 Capriltello.

Renet is probably one of the most powerful allies the Turtles have in the 2012 series.

Rise Donnie would NOT hate 2012 April. He’d go crazy over her psychic powers and want to study them to help her explore them more.

From what I've seen so far, Leo x Usagi seems like the only GOOD ship in the 2003 series (this hot take might change tho).

Raph had the best character arc and development in the 2012 series and changed the most out of the four brothers. Next would be Leo. With Mikey and Donnie have little development (or none at all sadly).

Things I hope are in season 6 of MLB

- Felix flat out having a deep discussion with marinette apologising for giving the miraculous to Hawkmoth and causing her so much pain (I feel like this was just brushed away too quickly in S5)

- If that was Emilie in the ending then obviously Gabriel saved two people, so someone else gotta go and that would be interesting to see who if that was the case

- The wish having consequences in general

- Felix and Amelié move in to the Agreste Manor

- I still want ladynoir only episodes, so can the other holders like figure out a rota or something

- Chloe redemption with Zoe’s help (far fetched I know but a man can dream)

- Zoe having a new reciprocated love interest

- Luka the same (not with each other tho… Zoe is lesbian and that is that)

- Adult Chat Noir and Ladybug (I am begging)

- Adrinette angst

- Adrien finds out the truth bit by bit about Gabriel (istg if he doesn’t I’m gonna end it all)

- Lila treating Nooro with respect (please can we actually have her be a chill villain and not treat her kwami like a slave)

- Someone said something about princess justice so yeah I’d love to see that

- “I’M BUTTERCUP????”

- Luka and Adrien bro time and bonding over how they know each other’s identities

- Adrien having to hold the urge to ask questions about ladybug and Luka being a complete tease about it

- Adrian’s Chat Noir ego kicking in when he’s flirting with Marinette

- Lila backstory

- Felix finds out Adrien is Chat Noir and they hang out with their kwami’s present

- He also tells Kagami and they just laugh about how Paris’ main superheroes are dating without even realising it

- Lila doesn’t hide in a basement when she’s using the butterfly miraculous, she actually fights her own fights with the help of her akuma’s (Gabe was so lazy come on)

- Can we see a flashback of Adrien being told his father is fucking dead

[mariailoveyou-guerin]

Oh he getting uglier and uglier by the day what’s happening he use to be cute but now he looks bad with this haircute and the facial hair oh this means obx4 is being filmed for sure because he only gets worse when he filming that show like he gets worse and worse for each season maybe that’s the point all the bs getting to his character, it makes sense honestly I can see it!

He will never be fine and I need y’all to wake up bc aint no way y’all lying to yourself this much bc u like his psychopath character, he gonna be the new Timothy who was the new Noah I’m afraid I can’t take yet another one!! Truly in his worst era and that’s saying something bc he was horrendous in s3 too wonder what happened to him at one point he was cute and okay looking and now he turning into just not it at all!

Streets saying he’s a method actor so for s5 he’s gonna be walking around like a corpse looking dead because his character will be six feet under love to see it but on a genuinely real level what’s happening to him why he decomposing in front of our eyes something is off fr

Forgot the drew freaks existed for a good minute since I ain’t seen his ass nowhere since obx ended and now it’s all back because they live on this app and on tktk like the true loser freaks they are but what’s worse is they out here making me defend rudy like he ain’t mid himself he just happens to be the 2nd hottest guy on that show sharing it with Nick out of the yt men he’s hottest but the bar was non existent so can’t even give him that win bc it’s not a win if there’s no competition but how dare they make me defend Rudy just he he’s not ugly like drew or below mid like drew but above mid

why they acting like he’s Jacob when he ain’t even Jacob foot in terms of good looks and talent is never coming near his pinky yt psychopath character stans are so weird yet so fascinating to me because they genuinely believe these men are hot bc they like their psychopath characters, I remember Kylo ren stans were ready to die on actual hill saying Adam Driver was hot I just can’t with them never laughed so hard in my life at first I thought they was joking but nope they was dead serious too whenever I remember I laugh so hard my stomach feels like it’s about to fall out, what’s not surprising nor shocking to anyone was they were all divorced hag yt woman and white unloved teens with issues! What a niche type of yt woman/teens who like them these ugly men and why do they all look almost exactly the same somebody needs to study that, there just has to be a study on it why they are always hag pushing 40 white woman or teen girls liking them all because they like their weirdo character a little bit to much and they also like and think real life serial killers are hot and have fan accounts and meme accounts for them sickos for real! may they get help for this illness

I get liking Jacob and thinking his character Nate was hot because the man is hot even tho his character is garbage but liking and thinking drew or Adam driver is hot bc y’all like their weirdo character yeah that’s to far way to far off the sanity 🏊‍♀️! let’s be serious about this

Adam driver attractive hot 😂 funniest shit I have ever heard in my life drew by s5 really gonna look like him to

[lordystrange]

10 best byler proofs by me

10. The cast, especially David (who knows the ending) and Finn (who might know something), are always so happy talking about Byler. They wouldn’t be if Will ended up dying alone as a sad gay. Also no one likes milkvan except maybe Millie unless she’s acting… Caleb even said ”Lucas and Max’s love is real unlike Milkvan’s”.

9. Mike has been queercoded throughout the whole series. Especially with queer colors, he spent s4 dressed as a gay pride flag. Also bi and pan colors are associated with him. Also Ted’s ”our son with a girl?” and everything Eddie said about forced conformity etc

8. Byler parallelling other romantic ships like Jancy, Jopper and Lumax. I’m not listing examples because there are SO MANY! (Also Milkvan parallelling all the platonic/dead ships)

7. Mileven being bones. We have nothing that shows their actual, deep love they’re ”supposed to have”. We don’t know what Mike loves about El and what El loves about Mike. We don’t know what makes them a compatible match romantically. We only know things that don’t make them compatible: El feeling the need to lie to Mike, Mike feeling embarrassed of his nerdy self with El, El feeling unloved by Mike, Mike feeling inferior to El…

6. The desert scenes. The triple take ofc, but also the car roof top convo with Will (jancy parallell). Will is talking about how it’s scary to say how you really feel because what if they don’t like the truth. And Mike NODS. If the truth was that he loved El exactly like El wanted, El would like that truth. So what is the truth Mike is worried that El doesn’t like…?

5. Mike’s monologue. He had to be pushed by Will to open his mouth. He lied about him loving her at first sight. He copied the t-shirt part from Eddie. He kept saying she’s his superhero which El doesn’t wanna be. He didn’t include anything personal about El and their relationship after the t-shirt thing… Also El didn’t seem to like what she heard and their love didn’t save the world. And they didn’t even talk after it. And while filming it they didn’t focus on just the couple (like they did with byler in s2 shed scene) and they let Finn improvise as if it wasn’t that important (as important as the van scene…)

4. Mike would be so poorly written if he wasn’t into Will and I don’t think the Duffers would just ignore his character. Also all the lip glances and heart eyes wouldn’t make sense.

3. Byler/Milkvan contrast. When Will was gone and they found his ”body”, Mike heard Will breathing in a radio channel and believed he was alive. He didn’t rest for a second, he did everything he could to find him. When he thought El was dead, he didn’t go looking for her, even tho a couple times he actually saw her. Also in s3 when Milkvan had a fight, Max said Mike will be crawling back to her begging for forgiveness in no time. Instead Mike laid on a sofa and ate and complained. When Byler had a fight… well we all know what Mike did then.

2. Mike and Will’s relationship has always been different from other friendships. They’ve said it themselves (”pls don’t tell the others, they wouldn’t understand”, ”Hawkins is not the same without you”, ”you make her me feel better for being different”). Also their scenes together have always been a big deal (van scene took an entire day to film, crazy together was written before s1 was even filmed) and they are shot in a really romantic way (music, lighting…)

1. In the beginning of s3, Will said to Joyce that he’s not gonna fall in love. That made his arc about romance. We know now that he already fell in love, but he doesn’t believe it’s requited. If s5 goes from ”i don’t think he loves me back” to ”he doesn’t love me back” we get literally nowhere and the entire storyline (since s1) would be useless and waste of time and money. They wouldn’t make Will suffer 4 seasons and then suffer some more. So believe me when I say it goes ”I don’t think he loves me back” to ”He does love me back!”

I wish you all a very merry byler endgame in s5! 💚

[zylian]

wtf type of convos did I miss in s5 pertaining to s4

———

“Wait your right, I killed Subz, I’m impressed cause Subz was really good and I never wanted to admit but he was the bane of my existence back in fucking season four”

“That’s really funny”

“I don’t think you understand the things I would have done to you if Subz wasn’t constantly there”

“He’s minutetech! I’m telling you he’s minutetech!”

“Yeaaaah, low key he was the only one who could defeat minutetech”

“He was minutetech dude, he was minute dude, he was- AND they were on the same side this season! Can you believe that dude”

“Oh my god that would have been hell”

“Yeah omg, if- dude if he was still here fighting on minutes side dude- …we could convince him to switch”

———

what does he MEAN he could’ve been worse to zam and that does slightly change my opinion on how much worse s4 could’ve gotten

Also zam saying subz was minute while mapic saying subz could’ve beaten minute, they are both on separate pages , zams blending his vision while mapic has them completely separate from his experiences

ALSO ALSO ZAM WAS WRONG- In that fight that led to the warden fight, Subz specifically asked Spoke to get the kill to make sure mapic didn’t get it and so spoke got the final hit in call with him & planet

Technically tho Zam remembered right cause Subz said leviathan killed him and blamed mapic and ro to make sure spoke was kept out of it (there’s many moments subz told zam not to fight spoke throughout s4)

Honestly the amount of nonchalant stuff subz alluded to zam about never relying on Vi and he would rather rely on Spoke is insane mind you

Literally there’s a point zam and subz talk about who zam would rely on if subz was out of the picture (well before any betrayal) and zam says he should logically rely on Vi cause they’re teammates and Subz whips around in shock saying “no!?!”

Plus the time zam wanted to call vi for a 3v3 and subz said if he’s calling for Vi than he’s already lost-

Something about Subz wanting revenge on parrot and red and knew spoke was doing so much damage to parrot that he started to feel bad for parrot and 90% supported spoke

Anyways there’s also the time subz specifically told mapic he would rather die 10 times over to spoke than once to him, than both got cut off cause poopies the endermite got discovered (which is insane btw)

I was not aware of mapics actions being restricted cause of subz and not his own free will

S4 could have gone SO many different ways oh my god I did not know he cared

[loverofstufflof]

Airing out my LMK trailer/S5 thoughts cause u gotta do this somehow

Most glaring, animation. It’s not bad, by any means. I’d certainly be proud of myself if I were able to come up with it.

However, I think it’s important to consider the context of the show’s style, and how it’s been improving significantly over instalments. Also, it’s Flying Bark. Flying Bark is just gonna make banger animation.

Am I a bit disappointed when comparing it to Emperor’s Wrath? Yeah. Especially when we’ve been waiting a full year for this—twice as long as usual.

But I’m not saying I won’t be watching the show because of it. I still love this story. Fuck, my favourite series is Epithet Erased. The show that’s best described as JPEGs wiggling around your screen for 2 hours. I can handle less than expected animation if it’s made up for by good writing.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people attacking invisible fans that claim they’re going to boycott the show because of this. Respectfully, source? The most aggressive criticism I’ve seen is “man that’s disappointing ig, still excited tho”. Who are you guys even fighting lmao. (Unless this is something happening on other platforms and you’re just venting on here which, valid)

Nevertheless, as I’ve said before, it’s not bad animation, just not up to the standard we’re used to. People are allowed to be disappointed. Let them be. This show isn’t flawless.

It’s looking to be real, all things considered. We’ve never gotten a fan leak this elaborate before, and it contains a lot of elements that were just recently revealed. Unless they’ve been getting announcements much earlier than we have (considering this fanbase’s sleuth skills, I’d doubt it) then there’s no other explanation other than it being official.

Official, however, doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to look that way the whole time. The animation is being done by another studio, yes, but only partially. Flying Bark is still here for the fun. This other studio also isn’t incompetent, they’re behind things like Carmen Sandiego. They know what they’re doing.

They’re also primarily handling additional material, means promotions, meaning trailers. Listen, it’s a bit of a stretch considering the fact that all trailers so far have been taken directly from the show, but also it’s industry standard to make a trailer before you’re even done, meaning you gotta cut some corners for the scenes you’re showing until you polish them up in post.

We know LEGO has a habit of keeping LMK things in their vault until they need to, this may be something they had lying around from early prod and released to maintain hype.

Any which way, this development is very much temporary, only applying because the team is currently working on a movie and need to momentarily lessen their workload. Even if the odds are against us and S5 looks like a PowerPoint presentation, it’ll likely go back to normal later.

Biiig animation rant aside, I am a tad bit sad about the direction the story is going in (namely the abandonment of Red Son) and the fan service is a bit much, but honestly what else are we expecting from JTTW fanfic.

I’m stoked to see more Macaque though—he’s looking to be becoming a proper protagonist, which is great for angst! Yippee!

One thing I haven’t seen anyone talk about is the complete lack of Nüwa. You know, the character they’ve been teasing this whole time? Where is she? Not in the trailer. Not in the posters.

Makes me wondering if this is a part of the new season, teasing the next one, the one Nüwa’s in, later.

Alright, I’m gonna ask because I’m lost.

First of all good morning/day/night

How do I approach Aphmau(MCD and Mystreet) again? Used to watch it as a child and now I basically forgot about it, any pointers?

(I’m mostly asking because I want to write a fanfic on it, so there’s that.)

i'm assuming you're asking about where to start with watching them. which is fair. if i'm wrong, correct me, irdm.

I'll be honest, i did make a whole list of everything in chronological order, but this is my personal watch order.

MCD S1 -> MCD S2 -> PDH S1 -> PDH S2 -> MyS S1 -> MyS S2 -> MyS S3 -> MyS S4 -> Aphmau's Year -> MyS S5 -> MyS S6 -> Her Wish it's the entire MCD/MyS universe (barring most Side Stories), in chronological order.

you don't need to watch it in chronological order, but i would personally, just since.... it's easier. also means you'll get all the MCD references in MyS. because there are a lot of those.

Optionally, you could also cram MCD S3 in there somewhere... but don't,

here's the fat list, incuding the side stories i knew about.

-- Minecraft Diaries / MCD timeline

MCD: Origins (optional)

MCD: Rebirth (incomplete, optional): a remake of MCD:S1, was never finished.

MCD: Season One -- OR, MCD: S1 Lore: A video summary of the entire season.

Void Paradox (optional): maybe watch Mod Mod World first...

MCD: Season Two

DO NOT WATCH MCD: SEASON THREE...

jk, you can, but... do consider, most people hate it, it isn't considered canon by most fans, and it is incomplete... and shit... so... yay. no shame if you do end up enjoying it, though.

-- My Street / MyS timeline

Phoenix Drop High: Season 1

Phoenix Drop High: Season 2:

PDH Side Stories: Upsidedown Stories (optional)

Phoenix Drop High: Graduation Days (optional)

Falcon Claw University (optional)

Minecraft (Roleplay) Side Stories (optional): Technically MCD side stories, but like... modern aus... so... MyS timeline. Only important one is The Big Move

MyStreet

Love Love Paradise

Detours! (optional): haven't personally watched, the side stories of LLP.

The Bigger Move (optional): A side stories set between LLP and LV.

Lovers' Lane

Holiday Side Stories (optional): some of LV's side stories are holiday themed: Fall Festival, Holiday Special and New Years Party.

non-holiday Side Stories (optional): LV has a lot of side stories, man.... i think the most important are the 'Aaron's Ticket' episodes...

Emerald Secret

Aphmau's Year: i may have swapped the colour order just to have ES be green shhh.

Starlight Wonderland

When Angel's Fall

Her Wish: Another Side Stories, the closest we'll probably get to season 7.

Side Stories (optional): Why the fuck are there so many. There's more. I liked the D&D ones tho.

[marlinspirkhall]

marlin what’s your ranking of Star Trek shows!! Ive only seen 3 so I’m curious which ones you’ve liked

It's star trek, I will enjoy all of it, but that said:

Favourites:

Disco, TOS, Prodigy, Voyager (esp. S5-onwards, I need to rewatch the first few seasons tbh*)

Seen it:

TNG (has lots of moments and characters I loved, but makes a lot of baffling decisions especially wrt Troi*), TAS (I love it and everyone should watch it)

Enjoying but not finished:

DS9 (Up to s6, haven't seen the finale yet because I don't want to watch [s6 finale spoilers])- DS9 has some of my favourite cast and characters but that's part of the reason I was having so much difficulty finishing it bc I love it too much and don't want it to end if that makes sense.

LWD & SNW (seen a few episodes of each but I don't have PP+. Really enjoyed what I have seen of them though)

Not Seen Yet:

ENT (your day will come Hoshi, sorry about ur coworkers tho), PIC (your day will never come)

I haven't seen S4/5 of Disco, any of the TNG movies or the final 2 TOS movies yet. I know I'll enjoy the rest of Disco when I get to it, but I was watching it on Netflix before they took it off the site.

The Unreleased Section-31 Show/Movie: I will be seated. The cinema staff are scared and telling me to leave because it's "streaming release only", but I am simply too seated.

The Unreleased Starfleet Academy series: I can take it or leave it.

TL;DR: I love Starred Trek o7

*SA mention under the cut

There's a TNG episode which is titled "Violations" and it's not the only instance of Troi being put through "mind rape" situations. (Riker also goes through this too and I guess Picard to some extent. I've also heard that they repeat this trend with Troi in one of the TNG movies.)

There's also a Voyager episode with Seven which I found incredibly triggering for similar reasons, and I couldn't get past that episode in my initial Voyager rewatch at all. There are other instances in Voyager which I found difficult to watch so be wary of that going in. It's a really great series in its entirety and I remember once I got to season 5 I absolutely sailed through the rest of the episodes. I wouldn't recommend starting from season 5 because the context of all the previous seasons really does make it better. Voyager also feels like it's intentionally trying to make you uncomfortable with these stories whereas TNG is sometimes playing it for laughs (usually when Riker is going through the horrors).

Ranking every Riverdale Season (from worst to best)

Reminder: this is just MY opinion. Feel free to share your own!

7. Season 5

With the exception of the first 3 episodes (which I just consider to be part of 4), this season was just a huge nothingburger disappointment. The idea of a time jump was cool, and it even started out okay. Then it quickly went off the rails and not only fell back into repeat territory but the jump itself was just executed so poorly… I was beyond done with Hiram villain stuff atp. The Mothmen were fine, just nowhere near as good as the Gargoyle King or Black Hood for me. Too many characters are written TOO awfully (especially the queer characters) and sometimes it feels like they tried to cram way too much into it. It just leaves the season feeling bloated and incoherent. Best parts by far were Toni getting a big role and the introduction of Tabitha.

Still, those weren’t enough to save the season imo. Overall S5 felt the least like Riverdale to me & it was lowkey boring a lot, so it gets last place. Boo. 🍅

6. Season 4

I’m actually so serious when I say I really love this season. S5 is probably the only one I dislike, the rest of these can change at the drop of a hat lol.

The main reason I’m putting S4 here is that it was very hit or miss with my enjoyment of the storylines. Jughead’s stuff at Stonewall was okay. Cheryl got another unhinged story when she should’ve been getting therapy, Archie’s story was mind-numbing, The Auteur was creepy and great until it was revealed to be Jellybean (wah-wah-wah). Maybe it has to do with COVID throwing things off, but the whole season was just a little lackluster and disjointed. Also, TICKLE-PORN?????

The tribute to Luke Perry was beautiful tho. Miss him. 💔

5. Season 1

ALRIGHT. Before you pull out those pitchforks, just hear me out. It’s an incredible season, it’s the most well-written, the tone was amazing, and it set everything up perfectly.

But I do think that because it’s only the first season, and because it’s so short, a lot of the dynamics I personally love just don’t exist. Toni isn’t on the show yet. And I feel like part of what made Riverdale stand out, WAS the craziness and the willingness to do literally anything remotely cuckoo, which S1 just didn’t have. I’m just personally very attracted to wackiness of the other seasons. It’s a little overrated.

But again, this still season is INCREDIBLE and I’m still obsessed with its’ vibes.

4. Season 7

Don’t hurt me. 😭

But buckle up, because I have a lot to say here.

I REALLY had such a good time with this season… I mean, the Choni of it all is really want gets me obsessively thinking about this season on a daily basis. The way they were treated in the first half is everything I wished for them back in the earlier seasons. If this were a ranking based on Choni throughout the seasons, S7 would be #1. Kevin also got a ton of great stuff. S7 was so kind to the queer characters… Other than them, I just love how they got to have FUN. They took us back in time and basically just put the characters into an old-timey Archie Comic. Ridiculous but entertaining side plots that actually kept me interested and put the characters in a totally new environment. And despite the fact that people seem to want to ignore this, they ARE still the characters we’ve known and loved since S1, they just didn’t remember. But the memories are still there, and still inform all of their decisions and relationships.

Unfortunately, my biggest gripe with S7 is the way it feels disconnected to the rest of the show overall. They really let the comet story flop hard. Even if we decided to stay in the 50s in the end, we should’ve had way more time with our characters with their memories. They should’ve had conversations that were long overdue, that circle back and bring things to a close, the way final seasons should. I would’ve preferred they go back to the present, but in an altered timeline due to all the changes made to their lives. Tabitha was WASTED and thrown away and it makes me so mad tbh. They chickened out with the Varchie vs Barchie thing and instead we got that dumbass polycule and everyone dating everyone only for literally no one to end up with anyone (except Choni & Clevin uwu). The later half is especially a letdown, because that’s when we should’ve been ramping up to the end with their memories and certain people coming back together. Instead, we just got a lot of randomness. Which, while fun, doesn’t make for a good final season imo.

I think this season would’ve been ranked in my top 3 had it NOT been the final one…

It’s such a polarizing season for me and that’s why it’s smack dab in the middle!

3. Season 2

What a lot of people consider the glory days lol.

Everything that was well-established in S1 was built on and just made even better. The dynamics between the core four and each one of their storylines was spot on and interesting. Black Hood is probably the most interesting mystery villain we ever had on the show and delving deeper into the Cooper family was great. The slasher horror movie vibes with Black Hood’s story & his victims were just elite.

The season was darker and full of lots of twists and turns, which I always appreciate to keep my on my toes. We got introduced to Toni and Choni was born!

It did have some meh stuff tho, the Archie vs Hiram wasn’t all that interesting to me in this season, even though I DO like Hiram a lot. He’s always been an intriguing character to me, I just think he was severely overused. I also don’t like Bughead lol. The Chic stuff is hit or miss. It was bordering on crazy, but not quite at that sweet spot yet.

Overall this season was more exciting and deeper than even the likes of S1. And this is, of course, where we started getting into the Southside Serpents and the gang wars, which I think is such an iconic aspect of the show. Just a fun, deeper, more interesting season for me!

2. Season 6

I’m a sucker for witches and magic and time travel shenanigans, so this season was RIGHT up my alley. Rivervale, Sabrina, the spookiness, Cheryl’s witch arc, Percival was great, Tabitha getting to shine, I loved SO much of this season. Having one villain, that they all focus on I think did wonders for the cohesiveness of the season. Almost everyone got involved in it, there weren’t as many tangential storylines, and the buildup to the comet was so much fun. It was the perfect blend of camp and wackadoodleness and serious life/death stuff.

The worst part for me, is the ships. Tangs being a plague on society and them making Toni’s whole storyline about being a mother (a bad, awful one ugh). Fangs was never a standout to me, but they just made him insufferable this season. The custody battle was insanely stupid and a waste of time. “Baby Anthony” sucked (Dale FTW). Barchie has always bored me. Cheryl/Heather just felt like besties lol. The ships suffered hard in this season lol.

Still, we got Choni confirmed soulmates and Thabigail + Jughead/Tabitha were cute. So that aspect wasn’t ALL bad.

Tonally, it’s soooo different from the other seasons but I think they strike a better balance between mystery villainous plot and campiness than the other seasons. I ate up the supernatural and horror stuff, the plot is one of the most consistent in the whole show, there’s good character development and I just loved the craziness. They easily redeemed themselves after that abysmal S5. 🙏

1. Season 3

Ahhh PEAK insanity. Wild, compelling, dark but also silly af sometimes. The show went off the rails in the best way and I have a blast every time I watch it. A true fever dream. They embraced the crazy and I think that’s what sets it apart from all the other seasons. Imo, there isn’t a single “bad” episode here. They were still in high school, giving us that teenage drama/those dynamics that made Riverdale what it is. My fav ships were together (not without their drama), there was an intriguing mystery with the Gargoyle King. The flashback episode with the parents was amazinggggg and I loved everything about the Gryphon’s and Gargoyle’s storyline and how it trickled down to affect so many people. The atmosphere of the season, the main cast that got focus and actually got to have screentime together, Heathers heing probably their strongest musical. I love it SO MUCH.

There are some weaker points tho. There is a lot that happens this season, like A LOT. But I enjoyed it so much that I lowkey give it a pass for being so convoluted. Dilton was wasted and killed off after not getting much in general. Bughead & Veggie suck. I wish the G&G and Cult stuff had been intertwined better.

An organ harvesting cult led by Chad Michael Murray? Archie fighting a bear? Mass seizures? Babies thrown into a fire and then levitating? Veronica opening a speakeasy as a teenager? Choni cat burglars? Archie in juvie? Bunker sex? Speakeasy sex? Fizzle rocks? Killer DnD? THE EPIC HIGHS AND LOWS OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL?

I-C-O-N-I-C. Riverdale is at its best for me when it doesn’t care about being a normal gritty teen show. Maybe this season was a little messier, but I think the sheer fun and craziness more than makes up for that. Everytime I rewatch this season, I enjoy the crap out of it and am reminded why I love these characters and this silly little show so much. ♥️

So to recap:

S3 > S6 > S2 > S7 > S1 > S4 > S5

P.S: if there’s a major typo or I put something in the wrong season, lemme know. I just regurgitated this all from memory when I woke up so my thoughts were hella jumbled…
