#I’m rewatching s2 rn

[princeblue]

Tengen & Zenitsu parallels severely neglected.

Both have amazing abilities of hearing, one of which can hear literal emotions and the other can utilize his to turn attacks into songs to deflect.

Both share a love and talent for music. (see above)

Both feel inferior and unlucky compared to their peers (Tanjirou, Rengoku, etc) in spite of their own talent being great.

Both have a story that revolves around killing a sibling or sibling-figure, a complicated relationship with an older male figure that they kill to avenge someone else/to prevent themself from becoming the worst version of themself.

Yadayadya I’m sure there’s more I’m missing and I’ll make a better post for this later, but Zenitsu & tengen should’ve been a father-son duo, that’s Tengen’s horrible horrible son and he’d kill anyone who insults him except for himself. That’s it that’s the thought.

day 5: what makes farscape truly special?

↳one thing i love about farscape is how it embraces its weirdness, making it a very unique show and watching experience.

I actually really like Nicholas Roye as Toji, I think he sounds a lot like Robbie Daymond which is kinda neat. He also sounds skeezy, which is perfect.

I didn’t know how much I needed XO Kitty until today! I was already anticipating it as an avid rom-com watcher and fan of To All the Boys (especially the first movie). Plus I’m always down for cross-cultural media, given that’s what i study. I just love this show so much, I’m about to rewatch it again after this post. The LGBTQIA+ representation in this show definitely holds a place in my heart. I know its not the most groundbreaking or revolutionary queer media and I’m sure there are critiques to be made, but I’m too happy about it rn to see it in a more critical lense.

I’m just glad that we are getting bi/pan female lead representation and more queer Asian representation in mainstream media. Like yuri being lesbian is everything to me, i love her and I love juiliana as well (I hope we get more of her in s2 cause yay to black queerness). Also, kitty’s story hits so close to home and its comforting to see it being portrayed on a mainstream platform. I just don’t know if I’m team minho or team yuri as of now. I love the tension between kitty and yuri and they have this really comforting vibe when they are around each other, its very cute and cozy. For minho and kitty, the banter and chemistry is so explosive, their jokes just bounce of of each other and its fun to see. AND BOTH STORYLINES ARE ENEMIES TO FRIENDS TO LOVERS CODED!!! Like how am I supposed to choose Netflix?? How??! I’m just glad she broke up with dae, it was the best for the both of them. Now season 2 needs to be about her exploring her sexuality, and i need it to be either minho or yuri, I can’t handle another love interest.

Buddie Developmet: Rant and series analysis of the progress of Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz’s relationship.

part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7 | part 8 | part 9 | part 10

hi everyone! i’ve started my rewatch for 911 because we finally have bi!buck and i am trying to find queercoding as far as the first season, now i know some people say that the queercoding didn’t start until S2 with Eddie, but rn i’m on Full Moon (Creepy AF) and here’s my take

S1:E7 Full Moon (Creepy AF)

In this episode towards the end Buck and Bobby are on a call for a man who feels something inside him, as they are going to the hospital in the ambulance they discover that he has a tapeworm and it’s coming out 💀 in the ambulance ride Buck, Bobby, the guy and his boyfriend/husband. Now as Buck is the one designated to slowly pull the worm out, he quotes Elton John, granted it’s the circle of life and that could just have been about the Lion King, but the husband points out that Elton wasn’t referring to that and i guess i think it’s too much of a coincidence for the writers to mention it around Buck. I actually had to google that Elton wrote that song (i’m as bad at pop culture references as the Buckleys sorry 😭) but Buck didn’t question it or look confused (as i did).

😂 ok i might be trippin but whatever, i’m going to keep looking out for this and possibly making it a thread.

Okay, so I’m currently rewatching s4 rn and there’s something that’s always bothered me about one of the scenes:

So in this scene Nancy, Fred, and the other kids that work on the school paper are watching the news about Chrissy’s death / murder.

On the tv the reporter talks to one of the residents of the trailer park and this is what she says:

“Ever since that girl, Barb, died a few years ago, it has been one thing after another.”

Episode 2 - 11:35 (if you want to watch the scene)

My issue with this scene is why does this lady talk about Barb and not Will?

Barb went missing after Will did, and nobody other than Nancy really talked about her disappearance in s1.

The townspeople didn’t even know she was dead until the end of s2!

So why does this lady say that weird things started happening after Barb’s death and not after Will’s disappearance?

To her, weird things started happening at the near end of s2 and not at the beginning of s1?

Shouldn’t it be:

“Ever since that kid, Will, went missing a few years ago, it has been one thing after another.”

Was this purposeful? Is this hinting to something in s5 or am I just crazy? Did the townspeople forget about Will?

IM GOING INSANE

[callmrmorrow]

i can’t stand the markeve set up in the invincible show, and i don’t think i’m alone on it. i don’t even have a lot of in-depth reasons to cite other than the fact that it is like… so fucking dull

and to some extent, i agree, that’s what they both need: a little stability, plain-old college-student love story. eve’s character as a whole is grossly misused, from her personality to her combat to her overall plot utility (and i also understand that’s necessary because w/o limitations, she solos the verse), but her relationship with mark is one of the saddest ways i’ve seen her character done.

note: i do not know how they get together in the comics in comparison to the show, but i’m sincerely hoping that it doesn’t involve a future version of eve telling mark “confess your love to me or reject me so i don’t spend the next 20 years languishing over how much i love you.” i essentially skipped the section of the comics that is now s2-s3 and early s4 so that i can have some stuff saved in suspense, but i’ve pretty much read the entire ending of the comics. i don’t mind where they went with their relationship, i suppose — not everyone can be toxic and evil and full of yearning — but how it’s going in the show rn is very contrived

eve’s contributions to the plot are solely to push mark’s character development to prep for the season finale. she doesn’t really disagree with him at all from what i can remember, which is like… BORING as hell. she should have her own opinions that clash with mark’s, especially since she had her little “i’m gonna help people in my own way” arc and understands the value of not being just a plain hero brawler. given her backstory with the government, she should have a more fundamental understanding of how morally grey the GDA’s situation is, and she should either abhor it or tell mark to actually think it through. you don’t understand how much i dislike female characters who only exist to agree with male characters and fight with flashy powers (while being super strong but never getting a chance to really impact the plot) and skin-tight suits. i don’t like when they get injured/killed just to further a man’s development or send him flying into the rage that he needs in order to defeat the next big villain.

never reduce your female characters to this! you can have a stable, loving relationship between two college students without making the woman 2D. the show writers are already so loose with the plot that i feel it would be okay to have eve try and rejoin the guardians only for the whole fiasco to take off. given her more involvement, show her a little love, make her more than just mark’s gf. i know they can do this because debbie grayson exists, and even amber exists.

eve has always wanted to do something that “matters” and even the writers can’t even give that to her. (funny irony on “matter” though, for someone who can manipulate it)

i’ll probably revise this post once i get further into my rewatch and further into the middle part of the comics that i skipped. if any info’s inaccurate (i seem to have a habit), it will be fixed.

[aemiron-main]

do you think the multiple timeline plot is a plot point that’s more introduced in S4/for the HenVecWard TM plot specifically?

Like is there anything from earlier seasons/not related to Henry you would consider as proof that we’ve been seeing multiple timelines the whole time?

I think it would be kinda odd if multiple timelines are so important to the plot but there’s only real proof of it in S4 so that’s why I’m asking

I LIKE COMPLETELY 100% BELIEVE IT BUT IM REWATCHING RN AND I WANNA SEE IF THERES ANYTHING I SHOULD BE LOOKING OUT FOR

OOHOHOHOH SO!! THERE IS A LOTTTTTT OF ALTERNATE TIMELINE STUFF IN PREVIOUS SEASONS!!!

I totally agree that it would be odd if there was only proof of it in S4- thankfully, there’s evidence across all seasons!

So, let’s get into it!

Evidence of Multiple Timelines/Timeline Weirdness Prior To Season 4

So, one of the main things re: multiple timelines pre-S4 is Will’s vanishing. I touched on this in the Edward video too, but I also have a bunch of posts on it!

Basically, we saw two different Wills back in S1, each possibly from a different timeline.

I made this post, this post, and this post about Warm Will versus Cool Will, but TLDR, we see two different Wills on the night he vanished, one with longer, shaggier hair, who looks older & more exhausted & has cooler colour grading (hence why he’s Cool Will) and one with shorter, neater hair who looks younger & less tired & has warmer colour grading (hence why he’s Warm Will):

And there’s also the two different versions of the Byers’ phone- both versions of the Byers’ phone have “AREA CODE 501” written on the white part, but one version has nothing else underneath “AREA CODE 501” whereas the other version has some extra, unreadable line of text under it:

Which, not only is “501” the wrong area code for Hawkins, but “area 501” also connects to NINA (and all of the NINA timeline weirdness as a result), because the NINA coordinates from S4 lead to area 51.

And then there’s also the two different Wills in Castle Byers- the Will that El sees in Castle Byers in the void is different than the Will that the audience saw singing in Castle Byers (see this post and this post).

How are they different? Well, the Will that El sees in the void is more exhausted, barely able to move or speak- whereas the Will that the audience saw singing in Castle Byers has enough energy to sing and shiver.

And each of them also has a different version of Castle Byers- the Will that El sees in the void has drawings on the wall that are a.) in colour and b.) noticeably wet, wheres the Will that was singing and shivering has drawings on the wall that a.) have no colour and b.) are dry:

And one of the BIGGEST pieces of evidence of multiple timelines in the whole show actually comes from the end of S1 & then ties into the beginning of S2- the newspapers.

I talked about this in this post, this post, and this post, but the article we see at the end of S1 about Will’s vanishing has a TON of alternate timeline stuff.

It’s the article that mentions Richard Brenner, who’s likely Martin’s timeline counterpart or something along those lines (ie if Martin was Henry’s Brenner, Richard was likely Edward’s Brenner, especially considering the connections between Eddie Munson and Reefer Rick versus the subtext there re: Edward Creel and Richard Brenner, especially with Reefer Rick being a drug dealer versus Richard Brenner being the head of narcotics at HNL) (see posts like this post and this post and a bunch of other posts LMAO)

Not to mention all of the weirdness with Joyce in this article, and the fact that according to this article, Joyce claims that she found Will as a test subject at HNL, with no mention of the upside down:

Which ties into something I’ve talked about re: how it’s weird that the lab let will go to a normal hopsital- they were ready to straight up KILL HOPPER to prevent any info about the UD/lab getting leaked, and yet, they supposedly just let will go to a normal hospital instead of keeping him at the lab?

Plus, we never actually SAW joyce and jim leave the UD or the lab with Will- if they somehow escaped the lab & got will to a regular hospital after escaping the lab, how did they get through all of those guarded and locked doors that they had to go through to get to the mothergate?

Especially without a keycard and being vastly outnumbered + carrying a dying kid?

So, I wonder if that scene of Will at the hospital might be a different timeline where Will was found in one of the rooms at HNL, rather than in the UD, and if Joyce and Hopper broke in & got a keycard the way Hopper did earlier in S1/were able to get in and out of the lab & to a normal hospital more easily because Will was in one of the upper rooms & not down through all of those extra guarded doors/quaratine rooms that they had to go through to get to the mothergate.

Especially since that newspaper where Joyce seemingly claimed that Will was found as a HNL test subject also says that Will was currently at Hawkins General Hospital- which is where we see him at the end of S1, so it would make sense for those scenes to be the same timeline as that newspaper clipping (and therefore also in the same timeline as Richard Brenner):

And also, that S1 article is also DIFFERENT from the S2 article about Will’s vanishing despite the two of them seemingly being the SAME ARTICLE, with the same title, the same picture, and the same author (Benjamin Buck), but with different content- they seem to be alternate timeline versions of the same article.

There’s also the matter of Will’s poster and eye colour- the S1 poster says that his eyes are brown, but the Will we see in S2 has greenish-greyish eyes. So, yet again, we seem to have two different Wills, especially since they make a point of showing us what Will would look like with brown eyes when flayed, so they arent just calling his green eyes “brown” as a catch-all term.

Which, speaking of Flayed Will’s eyes, why did Will’s eyes turn brown when he was flayed but Billy’s eyes didn’t?

Why did Billy’s eyes stay blue (although sometimes becoming a more saturated shade of blue much like 1979 massacre Henward’s eyes) whereas Will’s turned brown?

I personally wonder if Will’s eyes changing colour is connected to all of the twinner/timeline stuff, especially with the scene in TFS where Alice asks “Henry” where Henry is and “Henry” responds with “he’s right here,” as if he himself isn’t Henry- does flaying somehow combine the two versions of people from alternate timelines?

And as a result, did we get Edward and Henry in the same body/connected mentally somehow/combined (therefore explaining that Alice scene), and were the two Wills combined, therefore explaining the eye colour change if the other Will has brown eyes?

I feel like there’s something here re: flaying & the idea of the hivemind being active across timelines (ie if two people are flayed, but theyre both in different timelines, would they be able to communicate with eachother via the hivemind/would they be connected to the same hivemind?)

Is that why Billy’s eyes didn’t turn brown? Because Billy’s alternate timeline self also has blue eyes? Anyway!

S1 is also the season where Mr Clarke brings up the idea of parallel universes/infinite alternate timelines:

And Connie Frazier from S1 is likely Alice Creel- but not Henry’s sister, Alice- Edward’s mother, Alice (see: this post ), hence how she’s still alive after 1959- she’s not the Alice that we saw laying dead on the floor, this Alice was an adult in 1959 & is Edward’s mother, not his sister, and is Victor’s wife, not his daughter, as according to the Edward paper/Indianapolis Gazette, Edward’s mother was named Alice and his sister was named Virginia, his mother and sister are swapped compared to Henry.

And then, in S2, we have my beloved 8:15gate, which, TLDR, there’s footage on Bob’s JVC on Halloween when Will was using it to record that a.) has timestamps that change when they shouldnt (ie, when Will was supposedly recording the footage, it says 8:04, but when Joyce watches that EXACT same clip back, it suddenly says 8:15) and b.) has footage that shouldnt even exist, because some of the scenes that he supposedly recorded are scenes where he HAD THE CAMERA DOWN AND WAS NOT RECORDING! That footage shouldnt even exist! And yet, it’s there, with a messed up timestamp.

Not to mention all of the stuff in S2 that directly contradicts TFS & reinforces the idea of multiple timelines (for example, in S2, Bob talks about how Joyce didnt even know his name in highschool- whereas in TFS, not only do the two know eachother well in highschool, but Bob also claims to have known Joyce since first grade).

And in S3, there’s a bunch of stuff (including the idea that S3 is its own weird timeline), but one example is what I talked about in this post re: the reference to temporal displacement in S3 and there’s a bunch more in S3/I’m just keeping this relatively brief LMAO!

And that’s not even all of it across the seasons! Not by a LONG shot, these are just a few little examples! The multiple timeline weirdness stretches all across ST, through every season and affects every character- although Henward is more overtly tied to it than the other characters, ALL of them are still tied to it, and there’s evidence of multiple timelines in every season- hell, like I said, some of the best evidence comes from S1, because that’s where we find out about Richard!

[angelsdean]

rewatching 1x18 rn and noticing sam’s using dean’s Colt M1911A1 (the engraved ivory grip gun) when they go to kill the shtriga. which isn’t an instance listed in the superwiki weapons catalog.

ever since I made that post abt how Sam’s go-to gun (Taurus PT92AFS, mother-of-pearl grip) appeared to be one of dean’s first in s1, I’m noticing which guns sam uses. In s1 sam really doesn’t have a particular gun of choice, with the Taurus not becoming his go-to til s2, (and even then he doesn't purchase this gun himself, dean already had it in his arsenal). which makes sense that sam is just using whatever dean has on hand since he's fresh off of stanford and didn't come with his own gun in tow

[lichtensteining]

Okay so I’m watching season 3 of bridgerton rn but I rewatched season 2 and tbh I was already sort of pitying Cressida in season 2. She’s mean and cruel in s2 but I also think she gets shit on a lot and gets the short end of the stick often. So anyways then you start to see her background in s3 and it doesn’t excuse the meanness but it’s also like. You can only work with what you know. When your mother is cold and your father is cruel… you grow up thinking that’s what people are like. You also use those same traits to distance yourself from people and build walls. But you see that she does take into consideration when Eloise criticizes her cruel nature and she even resists the temptation to gossip like she is GROWING! That’s an incredible thing to do if for your entire life you’ve only known coldness/meanness/cruelty.

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Kate in the ocean is such shameless ‘for the men’ mid-2000s soft core p*rn, but all I can think is how that bra is not going to survive the salt water

They won’t show up to s2 but I keep thinking about The Others freaking out about the plane somewhere in the distance. Ben is currently scrambling.

Jin and Sun, those crazy kids. But also fuck Jin in this episode he’s so horrible to Sun ITS A TROPICAL ISLAND LET HER KEEP HER TOP BUTTON UNDONE.

“Dude I’m starving but I’m nowhere near that hungry” Hurley I adore you

“I’m looking for my son” better get used to that, Michael

“when we get home I’ll get you another dog” 10/10 parenting there

Whenever I see Boone I say ‘fucks sake Boone’

Shannon and Boone are the worst

Kate and Sayid stood there like 😐

Sawyer I remember hating you when I first watched this, then growing to love you. Can’t wait to retread that arc.

I love them all, although my favourite is stood somewhere in the barracks thinking to himself ‘wtf am I going to do about this’

Brilliant ‘actors clambering around tree roots acting like they’re scaling a cliff’

LOCKE. LOCKE. LOCKE. TERRY.

“What is it like checkers?” - the plot of  the show.

I WONDER WHAT THIS IS

POLAR BEAR POLAR BEAR POLAR BEAR

I’m laughing because I know how angry people get about the polar bear

“Is that what killed the pilot” fuck off Boone

“I’m not so good around blood” well your future protector bestie is going to be very good at getting covered in it so you’d better get used to it

Oh my god I forgot Danielle gets introduced this soon

”Where are we?” LOST. Gives me Always Sunny title card punchlines
