The "you can crash on my couch anytime" to "can I live in your house and be your dog" pipeline is absolutely incredible. Remember when he got flustered at the idea of a sexy rat?

This is a man who calls dancing sinful. I heard him bark this morning.

Honestly, this scene is so good. The looks on their faces, Carson making it sound like he's been waiting for months and not two fucking years, and the way all three of the guys lower their guns when faced with a friend they all know for a fact died a year ago

They know for a fact that Carson Beckett is dead. They heard his last words. Heard the explosion that took his life. They carried his casket back to Earth. They have lived without him for a year, they have missed him and grieved him. They know that this can not possibly be their Carson Beckett. The most logical explanation in the moment is that this is some kind of trick or trap. And yet each of them lowered their weapons. They see the face of a friend they never thought they'd see again, hear his voice, and they lower their guns because all they see in that moment is their friend

i was rereading the story dialog for the sephirah while ago (upper layer so far considering i have a doc to contain all of my ramblings and thoughts once looking it over and getting actual lines to be able to know exactly what was said to base my feelings off of rather than the pure unfiltered pain or i suppose somewhat shock at first and those garbled memories of what happened) and after reading tiphereth's and then going to netzach's again it's just.

imagine you have to see what is deemed your other half, the person keeping you sane, your only companion you actually love and like, your literal ‘twin’ have to get crushed but some bum that never does his job and can easily be seen as 'not meeting standards' does get the same treatment at all when your own brother had been destroyed for less like spiraling into some dangerous stains of thoughts (thought be fair he did end up not as respondent and at that point already had what i'll inadequately describe as 'memory leakage' . But from the general idea of the side of tiphereth). he'll be more better than that drug addict ever will be in her eyes, someone who can't even do a report on time and even then is half assed to where at that point they'd just do it themself in the first place. he'll be way better, someone who is quite literally her family. yet why is her brother the only one that needs to suffer through that constant degradation of the soul? the constant wiping of the self? the memories made and lost? why the hell is someone that should deserve it in her eyes, someone so unmotivated and lazy, someone who she deems as a person not able to do a single thing right, not having that happen to them? why is it the person she loves so dearly, so close to her that she wishes would've stayed instead of some now hollow husk and imitation of imprinted memories when that hasn't happened to Any One Else? why does she have to go through all of that, having to see someone that she used to know and adore turn into a hollow husk and imitation of what once was - having to feel as if shes already looking at a walking corpse with memories shoved inside - just for someone like Netzach to not end up crushed to pieces.

It drives me nuts the way people take jonathan expressing a real fear over being expected to take care of his mother and brother, and also to have his own kids with nancy, and take that as proof thay Jancy are incompatable. When none of that speaks to Jonathan and nancy being incompatable, but Jonathan putting burdens on himself as usual and denying himself long term happiness, you know, the trauma of being paternalized.

Jonathan is denying himself his dream college. He's placing on himself the responsibility to taking care of his mother and brother when that shouldn't be his responsibility. He's denying himself the college life he wants to have with Nancy. He's assuming, as you would do back then, that him and nancy are going to default have kids when they don't need to if that's what neither of them want.

Its not about jancy vs sta/ncy, it's about jonathan learning that he doesn't have to be afraid to leave the situation that he's in. That Joyce and will can take care of themselves. That this teenager doesn't need to sacrifice himself over and over again for the happiness of others. They're already building up to Joyce and hopper getting together and that possibly forming a more stable home environment that jonathan will be comfortable leaving will and Joyce in to go to college.

Yes nancy and jonathan have had their ups and downs but what they're struggling with is same: the expectation that their relationship needs to end up like everyone else's- the nuclear family. But it doesn't, nancy can chase her dreams and not become a mother if shes not the maternalistic type. They literally can choose to get married but not to have kids, despite pressures for them to do so.

Its not a jancy issue, it's jonathan self sabotaging himself because he's suffered so much turmoil in his life, and shouldered so much responsibility at a young age, that he doesn't believe that he can actually let himself be happy.

common misconception i see about claudia is that she's a grown woman trapped inside a child's body. while this isn't technically incorrect, it leaves out a major aspect of her character that isn't often addressed and serves to make her all the more tragic. see claudia is less a woman who's been forced into a child's body and more a child who is and will always be a child no matter how long she lives. don't misunderstand, she's blindingly intelligent, she certainly has the intellect of a grown adult, but she does not and never will possess the wisdom and maturity of an actual adult. all of the vampires in the series, claudia included, essentially exist in a state of limbo as though frozen in time, their organs petrified and unable to grown or age. in claudia's case specifically her brain ceased to finish developing at 14. her frontal lobe will never come in, because its development got cut off while she was still a child. it's why she often makes choices that aren't always rational, or why she might be blind to the intentions of others, namely the parisian coven. its part of why she can't see that she's being toyed with, and why she has such a desire for community, a desire to fit in and be seen as mature. that's the thing that makes her so tragic to me, she wants nothing more than to be seen as an adult, even though, in the eyes of both mortals and her immortal peers, she is not and never will be one. if anything, her attempts to do so will always and forever be seen as childish, like a little girl trying on her mother's oversized high heels for the first time.

YES!! He was originally going to be a one-off character in S4E1, but that scene ended up on the cutting room floor, so his actual debut (S4E5) was technically his return. He was conceived originally as a one episode comedy antagonist which is definitely why he starts as such a zany character, but obviously they kept him around and then that led into his role in S5 which leaned less into the comedy and more into the antagonist. His original character description when they were casting (so super early on in Enzos life as a character) cited Inspector Clouseau and Sasha Baron Cohen so his roots are silly little comedy man through and through.

(To anyone new here: I genuinely seriously wrote my university dissertation about Enzos character development (that wasn't the title but that was the bulk of the dissertation lmao) so I know too much about this subject in particular. Some people have useful knowledge, I have this.)

My dad, jokingly: "I'm badman"

Me: "haha sure" (not thinking he's anything like batman)

My dad: *left/ separated from my mum when I was a teen, started a GTA gang that helps bullied kids, ended up emotionally adopting like 8 kids and helped them through bullying, suicide, abuse, etc.*

Me: *was hurt by an abuser and had to deal with said abuser being forgiven by family around me*

Me: *gets into Batman lore*

Me: ...

"Wait a second..."
