Rewatching the Blacklist and dayum. Season 1, Episode 5 Tom Keen is the original Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss. Like sir, you will always be an icon. He lied through his TEETH. With such talent and aplomb woah, I am shooketh. He was out there telling Elizabeth that all that is bad and evil was brought into their home by her, that he'd never used a gun or a fake passport in his life, shook about the amount of money in a box because he'd never seen that much, that he is her husband and that this is a big misunderstanding. Wow. Yikes, but wow.
I don't even know if this is pro or anti Tom Keen ptdrrrrrr just sharing random thoughts.

Sam literally has no idea who Dean is starting out in Season 1. I know we all say this all the time... but rewatching 1.03 Dead In The Water last night, it isn't just that Sam thinks that Dean doesn't like kids. It's also how in the same episode, when Dean decides not to take the out the sheriff gave them and turns around to check on Lucas and his mom, Sam is like, "Who are you and what have you done with my brother??"
And that combined with 1.02 "Saving People, Hunting Things, the Family Business" makes me think like. Oh. Sam really doesn't understand why Dean hunts at all. He has no idea that Dean actually cares about the victims and his primary directive is protecting people he doesn't even know because he loves them—because Dean loves everyone and wants to give them what he can't have. Dean is so conflated with John in Sam's mind that they're virtually the same person to him, and apparently in this situation, John would have taken the out and prioritized protecting their family from the law over making sure the hunt was finished.
This is literally Sam's first time ever hunting one-on-one with Dean and not Dean&John. So every time he's ever hunted with Dean, it was John's plan and John's principles and John's prime directive. Sam never understood that just because Dean followed orders, his own motivations were not the same as their fathers. He never understood Dean's actions as anything other than an extension of their father's feelings and will.

I must say...I was there for the GOT finale....I've seen the fandom outrage for shows that ended poorly. If they fuck this up...with how emotionally connected MANY people are to Arcane and its characters....with how important it is to the LGTBTQIA+ community...I'm not certain they're really prepared for the backlash.
#d and d genuinely dont have careers anymore#hollywood deadass blacklisted them#if Riot fucks this up...#they're pretty much dead in the water#arcane is the number 2 show on Netflix#its the number 1 show in dozens of countries#surely they cant be that stupid#right?#arcane season 2 spoilers#arcane spoilers#arcane#arcane season 2#arcane series

hmmmmmmmmm.
the Job thing -> Aziraphale coming up against a decree by Heaven that he cannot force himself to be okay with, subsequently plunging himself into an existential crisis by falling prey to doubt and questioning and going as far as lying to an archangel, thus irrevocably corrupting his soul and no longer feeling 'holy' anymore
the Elspeth & Morag thing -> Aziraphale having a morality crisis over the intricacies of the human life and the net good of objective wrongdoings, attempting to paint things in overwhelmingly simplistic strokes that would fit things into the neat binary of 'good-bad', uncritically upholding the unhelpful sentiment of 'the blessings of poverty' but eventually being led to direct and powerful transformative action, and not the type that would truly take anything away from him, the entire conflict hinging on the fact that he had to overcome his internal misconceptions in a way that deserves to be written down, reflected upon, brought up again later in life
the??? finale for some reason??????????? -> "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys". "We're the good guys".
#i see people interpreting like. v poetic statements from that final dialogue and i wish!!!! it didnt like. physically hurt me with how WRONG#it sounds#not like just. in-world but narratively#idk!!!! idk!!!!!#good omens critical#is there a tag. is there a tag for people to blacklist#GOING A BIT MAD bc season 1 flashbacks were just one episode and one episode only and it served one purpose#to be fuckin. heartwrenchingly romantic. no theme only relationship development#but s2 is giving us this entire like!!!!! JOURNEY into Aziraphale's characterization and centers his POV in a way that highlights new sides#of him. and ur like. oh a theme??? we're having a theme????#(me. i was like that)#and i might just be very very very very dumb but i just. DONT UNDERSTAAAAND WEHRE THE 180 CAME FROMMMM#wanting to help and save and protect Crowley is all good and fine but goodness gracious im so confused about how it was all writtennnnnnnnn#am i dumb???? is this a me problem#idk!!!!!! idk

the fact that sweet home writers went 'we're going to kill half our og cast and then skip a year ahead without any explanation whatsoever about what happened in between oh and by the way here's a hundred new characters and half of them are military soldiers' really is baffling to me. everything season 1 managed to build being completely destroyed in a matter of 4 episodes is craaaazy to me. I just can't believe these were the same writers involved in season 1 there's just no way
#the show wasn't even horror anymore atp#it's crazy how season 1 felt so heavily influenced by resident evil only for season 2 to be so bad#and the shit ass 'comic relief' always felt out of place and it was just annoying#I am actually pissed they ruined such an interesting story - and all for what? some bootlickers? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz#sweet home spoilers#I guess in case someone has it blacklisted#anyway I really enjoyed season 1 too bad sweet home never got any more seasons than that :/

Trying to get back into a better headspace
I've been MIA lately because I've been in a kinda bad depressive episode so I've mostly lurked around and put some likes on lots of things. But I didn't have the energy to do more than that. I miss it though. I miss you guys!! So I guess there's nothing better than a new trailer to help me get out of it and back into the fandom zone! I wasn't expecting it to drop at the exact moment I was checking YouTube while I was in the bus 😱 I almost broke my earphones with the speed at which I tried to plug them in to watch it 😅 Season 3 is gonna be super awesome, I can predict that much ^^ With lots of things happening which I'm very excited to watch unfold!! But I've been thinking and I've decided that I'm not gonna participate in the "analyzing the stills" / "try to guess what's happening in the scene" / "make predictions for different story-lines" that is gonna happen between now and the start of season 3! I loved going in blind for the first 2 seasons and, though I've watched the trailer and saw the stills, I don't think I wanna know/try to guess more about it before it starts! I wanna be a mostly blank slate, ready to take it all in on my first (and second, and third, and fourth...) watch. And then I'll be back to freaking out with you guys ^^ So for now, I still wanna come back here, but I'll just get back to my song analysis and to writing some posts about the first 2 seasons! And!! I'm still going to Omar's concert next week and I'll definitely be posting stuff about that! So yeah, trying to get out of my head and back into something that's gonna bring me a bit of joy and excitement!
#young royals#young royals season 3#personal#hello guys! I'm back ☺️#I'm probably gonna blacklist some words to avoid most of the content about the new season#I'm not completely averse to spoilers#but I don't wanna think too much about what's gonna happen#it's more freeing (to me at least) to watch the season without the weight of expectations and everyone's opinion ^^#so I'm gonna stay in my season 1 and 2 rewatch bubble :D

i've been talking abt my voltron playlists and @iveofficiallygonemad asked to hear them and i want to share with anybody who wants!! i know they're not perfect, i'm working on them & trying to make them better. if you have any recommendations for any of them, let me know!! there's like A Lot and i want to give a lil explanation for most of them, so i'm putting them under the cut ^-^
SO first i have my favorite one <3 it's just. all of them. it's the whole team. it's a mess and it's a bunch of different genres because it's them fighting over the aux cord on a road trip. it's them trying to make each other laugh or annoy each other or play something catchy enough it will infect everyone in the vicinity with brain worms.
Hunk: i'm pretty happy with my Hunk playlist! chill vibes. he strikes me as the kind of guy who listens to calm music to try to find his own calm, and that's what i got here :)
Pidge: this is messier and less cohesive than my usual playlist because frankly i think pidge would have a shit taste in music. all over the board. this is a mix of meme songs and 8-bit covers and vocaloid and stuff that i think pidge would genuinely connect with, and i think pidge listens to all their music on shuffle without any regards for genre or mood because they're a gremlin. nobody gives pidge sole control of the aux.
Coran hears 80's music for the first time and loses his mind. He thinks ABBA is humanity's single greatest achievement.
Lance: i have ideas about where I'm going with this but haven't really settled yet. Lance seems like the kind of boy that loves to dance (is that canon? i forgot) so most of these are Bops That Make You Move in some way or another. he likes to present an upbeat face to the world, so there's no angsting in this playlist! we are clinging to the things that make us happy with both hands until our knuckles turn white!
Keith: i'm gonna be honest. i made him a playlist but i honestly don't think he cares about music very much. it's very important to some people! he's just not one of them! i haven't cracked this playlist open in a while but i'm pretty sure it's full of songs that i think he would conceivably train/work out to.
Shiro: this playlist involves the dumbest headcanon i have for shiro that has just not left me alone since i first thought of it. most of the playlist reflects the fact that he had an emo phase in middle school (that one isn't a headcanon, you just have to look at him to know) but BUT there are a few songs on here that are on here because. little known fact. he also went through a Twilight phase that he told nobody about. (keith knows. keith was there.) he has the entire twilight soundtrack memorized. he moved past the story but the music stays forever. he used to daydream about slow dancing to Flightless Bird, American Mouth. the first time Coran mentions that they have to avoid a place because there's a supermassive black hole there, he has to bite his tongue in order to keep a straight face. do NOT ask me why i believe this so wholeheartedly.
Allura's playlist sucks right now. I think it's because in my heart of hearts i know that, were she on earth today, she would go fucking nuts for taylor swift. i have ambivalent feelings for taylor swift. i cannot do allura justice like this. if you see my vision and have recs as to what might actually fit her, PLEASE.
Klance: i haven't done it yet but i'm gonna go through this and sort it to be a sort of progression of their relationship, starting with the more combative Rivalry songs, then slipping into "oh shit oh shit" songs, then maybe ending on the more lighthearted purely romantic songs <3
(i have two songs in a shallura playlist which does not at all encapsulate how much i'm obsessed with them. the tiny cop inside my head is just constantly screaming at me that i'm going to get yelled at for liking shallura. i am going to kill the cop inside my head.)
#mj talks#oooooh i don't know if i actually want to put this in the show tag. that's a lot of people. that's a lot of people that might see this.#fuck it we ball#voltron#anyway. as i said if you like music and you have songs that you think fit please send em over#also who wants to talk about shallura? i want to talk about shallura.#i rewatched the first ~3 seasons (the best part of the show and some of season 3) with my roommate a while back and.#ngl if we're strictly talking about the show itself and not fanworks. i care about shallura SO much more than i care about klance.#oh i should probably tag#klance#in case anyone has that blacklisted and just doesn't wanna see it#BACK TO MY POINT.#rewatch seasons 1 and 2 and you will see there was a REASON everyone included shallura in the background of their fics#and it wasn't just shoving 'space mom' and 'space dad' together#there is a very real and very compelling dynamic there. the mutual respect. the connection that comes with taking responsibility.#watch shiro's whole deal after allura gets herself captured so that he can go free and try telling me it's all in my head. just TRY.#anyway i have a lot of complicated thoughts about shiro's sexuality and most of them boil down to I Don't Think It Was Planned#i think they shoved it in last minute because somebody higher up#(not the writers i don't blame u writers i know that you have people breathing down your necks telling you what you can and can't do)#some higherup didn't like any queer storylines that might have been in the works and pulled them from the show#but then there was fan backlash because... gay people are loud now? people wanted A Queer In Space? wild thought#so they had to save their ass and actually deliver on what they had promised in interviews/on the internet/idk i didn't keep up too much#because it was so clumsily revealed! there was no buildup!#it felt very shoehorned to me unfortunately. when a) they had already built a solid and compelling potential relationship for shiro#(see above)#and b) klance was? right there? like. dude. you /had/ to have seen that. or at least some of it????#backstory dead fiance was not the best move vis a vis queer representation and i reject him#if you want me to care about a relationship try going back to storytelling basics and Show Don't Tell :)#not giving you brownie points for that 'queer representation' :)#anyway. that's my shallura manifesto in the notes.

The thing that gets me about the Haley 1.02 and Dean parallel is that Haley's brother is missing but Haley has TWO brothers and no parents, and Sam is more like the angsty younger brother, Ben. John's parallel is as the older of Haley's two brothers—the missing one—Tommy. And John not being a missing dad and instead being a missing brother is kind of what Dean's life is actually like honestly (in a literal sense, both of Dean's parents aren't dead like Haley's are, but in a metaphorical sense, John as a father died along with Mary). John was Dean's father in terms of authority but in terms of the obligations of a father to his child, those were all deeply warped and even reversed such that Dean was more of an emotional support to John, taking care of him along with Sam (as John himself admits in 2.01 and as is also brought up in 5.16).
