“requiem for methuselah” crazy ass episode for many reasons. Kirk is being fully insane, like I don’t actually think, even controlling for how quickly and easily and readily he seems to fall in love with anybody at the slightest encouragement, that he’d go that bonkers for that android woman he just met while everyone on the ship was this close to dying, but that’s neither here nor there, because in the background you’ve got an equally but much more subtly insane episode for Spock, who extremely uncharacteristically admits to experiencing an emotion (or nearly experiencing, whatever) and that emotion is ENVY of all things. And then spends the rest of the episode warning Kirk away from this new love interest (something that doesn’t usually happen, even when Kirk has very inadvisable love interests) and is, in the end, the person who accurately identifies that Rayna’s competing love for Kirk and Flint is ultimately what overwhelms and destroys her with the most killer line in maybe history???

And then to wrap it up we get an equally uncharacteristic sort of denouement scene (TOS loooves to cut an episode off right after the actual climax, leaving little time for falling action or character reflection, or to stick a sitcom-y button on the end where the gang all smiles and laughs at their misadventures and everything resets to zero, which is not a criticism, it’s just the style of that era of tv, honestly) where Kirk is literally miserable over Rayna’s death (again, kind of unusual for a lot of his love interests, he tends to be able to move on pretty quickly) and Spock goes to see him and he falls asleep right in front of Spock (also odd) and then when Bones comes in to give the final word on Flint, Spock waves him off from waking the Captain (tender) and Bones gives him that awful speech about how it’s sadder that Spock can’t even imagine the love Kirk felt for this random android woman than it is that Kirk lost her in the first place (debatable but also rude) and how his great tragedy is that he can’t love at all like they can and how all he wishes is that Kirk could forget about all of this and move on. AND THEN, to have Bones leave and Spock go over to Kirk and very gently, tenderly, reluctantly touch him and put his hand to his forehead and tell him to forget and HAVE THAT BE THE END OF THE EPISODE??? What am I supposed to do with that??

this brave anime dares to ask "what if a cute girl was head over heels for a totally milquetoast, cardboard personality guy and she did literally all the work maintaining a basic friendship with him"

I thought the early 2000s "strong yet naked/mostly naked woman kept in her place by stronger, bigger, beast/monster or gang of racist caricatures" trope* was known by basically everyone but I mentioned it as a criticism of this older art book I'd flipped through recently to a friend and it turns out it isn't lol Maybe I've just read too many Heavy Metal issues... It used to be HORRIBLY inescapable in any sort of mature art scene back in the day lmao

*This trope is different from the pre-2000s one because the women usually look like they COULD fight back for at least a little bit whereas the previous trope had them be completely helpless damsels in distress

I’d love to know your top 5 drarry cliches!

ahh thank you, phoebe! i love this.

harry's chest monster. an essential ingredient in drarry soup, imo

sectumsempra scars of course!!! i love how they're probably not even canon but like utterly ubiquitous and necessary. which makes sense: sectumsempra is probably one of the worst canon emotional cockblock (specifically the aftermath of it, when harry's response to nearly killing someone is to be mad about quidditch and go get a girlfriend about it, god jkr was dumb. perhaps unintentionally, that response is probably the most compelling evidence for harry one day becoming a wizard cop!) so we all need harry to feel some feelings about it.

returning the hawthorn wand. i admit that i do some mental editing whenever harry's like "oh yeah i forgot i had this and just tossed it in a drawer, you can have it back if you want" it has to be a MOMENT !!!

nightmares/sleeping better when the other's around, especially if that's the first form of intimacy.

when they're not friends but just can't leave each other alone. is that a cliche?? like even when there's no reason to be in each other's business, they try to find reasons to be because they "hate" each other. or when they haven't seen each other in a while, see each other again, and have to know everything about each other immediately, rapidly becoming obsessed, etc.

We have moved on from Boy Singing His Feelings With Guitar. We are now on Boy RAPPING His Feelings. This is worse.

thinking about rafe & coryo & anakin & astarion and how imo their inherrent appeal (if you pick up on any) is supposed to be in the fact that something is extremely wrong with them (or they aren’t meant to have any appeal at all). bc i don’t understand the stans who are so selective with reading and hearing they try to argue otherwise like were you so blinded you ignored the glaringly & obviously bad things about them??????? rafe & coryo & anakin later especially?????????

do you guys ever think about how the last person Natalie saw alive was Misty, and the last person she saw in her dream as she died was Lottie, and the fact that Travis did not show up in the dream at all?
