Things I’ve Said: Thief 2014 (Some Spoilers)

My words                                                                                                                  *Player/My actions*                                                                                                  Character dialogue

Nice title screen. Very dark and foreboding. 

*Reads a tip* Oh goodie, I get to be a peeping tom.

I like Garrett, he’s sassy. And hot damn that voice.

Y’all laying on the eyeshadow thick. Like, raccoon thick.

See Garrett has good morals, if necessary kill, if not necessary don’t kill. Erin WTF is your deal?

Now see, I think that was a bad idea. If she relies on that thing so much you are just gonna screw her over if there is a need for an escape.

Don’t tell her that, she has an inferiority complex.

Thank you! Robes ARE sketchy.

*Gets my rating back* I am a GHOST!!!!!!!!

Wait we like birds? I thought we avoided birds cause they’re snitches.

Oh shit, a year?! I thought maybe a few months, but a year! Damn, their just dragging this place through the mud turtle speed.

Old blind people always know what’s up and are cryptic about it.

You want coffee? No honey, what you need is a good ol’ knockout. Don’t worry, I’ll hook you up. 

This creep is gonna shot you. He’s the bad guy, he’s gonna-...........or maybe not? That’s it? Mentally scar the dude? Not very evil of you-*Thief-Taker General kills the man*-and there it is. Told you he’d shoot you.

*Listens to a conversation* Oh, only the wealthy can get cock rings? Good to know. *Listens for a few more minutes* And somehow this conversation got worse.

Is that a..............! It is! Finally, a plague mask! I was wondering when I would see one of these.

So, either the proportions on that woman are wrong, or she’s got a fatass.

*Meets Orion* Nope. Don’t like you and don’t trust you. I don’t care that you are ‘helping’ people, something is wrong with you.

You want Garrett to steal a book? That is the first thing you have said that actually interests me.

*Me thinking I can jump over a large gap like in Assassin’s Creed*              *Garrett Dies*                                                                                                 Fuck 

Brilliant, blood makes a sound.

Yo, fuck this. I did not sign-up to go to the upside down. And why does Erin sound mad?

*Garrett touches a painting oddly* Huh, guess Garrett is an ass man.

Erin is related to the Baron, calling it. *Chapter 3 memories play* Damn it. But you know what, good for her!

OMG! Is that a drag queen!? Yas bitch, tell his crusty, creepy ass off!  

I knew one of these holes would lead to a sex scene.

Thief-Taker General: Punish me mommy, I’ve been bad.                        Eeewwwwwwwwww. I didn’t need to hear that.

How much freaky cult BS is in this town?

Orion: You can’t just walk in the front doors.                                           No kidding? Damn, how else is a thief going to enter a building without using the front doors?

Why the fuck are people panicking? I haven’t done anything.

*Listens to a conversation* 4 to 5 days? I’m pretty sure the architect is dead. *Enters the architect’s study* Called it.

*Garrett falls and lands in front of several Nightwatchmen*               Garrett: Good Evening.                                                                                That’s kinda funny.

VIVA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!

Don’t you do it. Garrett no. We are getting Basso and getting the fuck out of here, you hear me!                                                                                    Garrett: It’s who I am.                                                                                    ITs wHO i aM

You fucker, I knew you were gonna be here. *Referring to the thief-taker general*

Oh great, I’m going from the crazies of the streets to the crazies on a fucking island. (BTW Garrett said almost the exact same thing right after I said this and I screamed. Thanks unreal.)

*Reads a tip* First of all, what the fuck are freaks? And second, freaks do what now?

Please don’t let this be a Victorian style Outlast.

*Door slams shut behind me*                                                                         Fuck.                                                                                                            *Doors are suddenly barracked behind me*                                                  FFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK!

Oh fuck, it’s the bonies! (Warms Bodies anyone?)

Orion did what to you? See, that is a red flag for me. I don’t like that, something is up with that guy.

He’s the Baron’s brother? Has to be the youngest, and I stress the young bit, brother. And of course he’s crazy, I knew he was suspicious! 

Why is it, whenever I get out of a major cutscene, 95% of the time I get force pushed? Like, I just watched a memory and now I’m in danger. That is oddly common in Garrett’s life, watch, next someone is going to be waiting for him on the ledge.                                                                          *Enter thief-taker general and his stupid rant*                                              You motherf*cker! I knew that shit was gonna happen, but I didn’t want you!

A hand for a leg, and a leg for a hand. Not how it goes but this game makes it work.

Fuck the graven. Who decided that burning the bridge was a good idea? Yeah, let’s destroy a major bridge that could have brought over supplies or let people come and go as they please. Fucking dumbasses.

BBQ anyone?                                                                                                *Few seconds later a person burning falls over*                                          Like I said, BBQ anyone?

Damn, I can’t swim across this little area? This is gonna be like Altair all over again.

Beggar Queen got more sneak game than Garrett. At least he didn’t jump. *She leaves* Correction, Queen’s sneak game is over 9000.

Ah yes, the final mission. It’s dark, it’s raining, and lighting flashes over a worn-down cathedral. I fucking love it.

Gaming logic. Fires are still burning when it is pouring down rain. And I have to shoot a WATER arrow to put the fires out. Genius.

My dude, you grapple?

These flowers were really pretty at first. Now, they just give me the willies. I’ll probably turn a corner and see a bonie. *Does exactly that* Fuck my life.

What the fu-No wait, why am I surprised? It’s more cult BS.

Oh no, she screamed and force pushed everyone, run away!

*Thief-Taker General enters for a final battle* Fuck off! You are the most stereotypical villain ever.

Well when you say it like that, all you ever wanted to do was murder Garrett. Not see him hang, there is a difference.

FINISH HIM! (If you didn’t read that with the Mortal Kombat voice, you’re wrong)

Garrett: I’m not alone down here.                                                             Yeah no shit. Wanna say that a little louder to let the bonies know as well?

Oh God, Orion has daddy issues.

Erin, WTF? Garrett literally said not two minutes ago that he wanted you. Not the primal.

Erin quit it, you’re scaring me. That ‘secret’ better not be some BS like “BTW you’re my dad.”

Erin: Garrett! I’m slipping!                                                                          Fuck you game, I already went through this.

And the darkness finally leads to dawn. Good job Garrett, you and the city live to see another night.

Ladies and gentlemen this weeks tally was lovingly name after how many time my dumbass said this. I give you:

Oh Pretty!: 168

Throwing Copper Extended Chapter Notes

2 / 5 The Queen of Lower Chelsea

Hyperlinks appear in blue (underlined on mobile). The story is posted here. Direct link to this chapter is here.

“You should think about getting the hell out of Dodge,” James said boldly. “What was it you said that night, before Devon called you for dinner at the winery? You wanted to get big enough so no one could hurt you. Don’t you think you’re well past that now? Do you really need every last little light in New York City? You should go with George, to whatever island he found in the Caribbean.”

Well, let’s get right to it, I guess. This chapter is named after “The Queen of Lower Chelsea” by The Gaslight Anthem. One way or another I was going to find a way to get a reference to this because there’s mention of a queen, New Orleans, and New York in the lyrics. James’ dialogue here borrows from the line: American girls, they want the whole world, they want every last little light in New York City.

“How did we get here?” she wondered. “With you being the one trying to pull me back from the ledge and asking where my respectable convictions went?“

The opening lyrics to The Get Up Kids’ “Holiday” are questions: What became of everyone I used to know? Where did our respectable convictions go?

I am of the opinion that the album this song is from, Something to Write Home About, is perfect from beginning to end. Any time I can refer to it, I do. Sometimes I have a bunch of random dialogue in mind before I start writing a chapter and I knew right away Teresa was going to say this. I think it’s fitting. I’d like for Teresa to have self awareness and recognition of what she’s gotten away from, whether that be good or bad.

It didn’t seem like it’d been so long ago when she was voicing her distaste and disapproval for the way James lived, for the things he’d had to do, so deeply ingrained in a world of criminal activity that was new to her. Teresa remembered how hollow his voice had been when he’d said that’s the wrong answer after he’d asked her what they should do about Lopez’s guy who tried to short them on payment and she’d said, with worry, to let him go. It was only the second time she’d worked with James, and she’d been naïve then. She’d been naïve still, months later when she told James he was a good person and that’s not who you are about cartel operations that ended with casualties—though she believed she was right about those things. But as she moved up, and in her quest for expansion, she’d burned bridges and done wrong, setting aside her inconvenient convictions. Teresa always told herself it was for survival, for the good of everyone around her. But there was a seduction to vengeance, and sometimes it was without guilt that the flames licked at her face and she chose wrath.

To look back at 1x03, it can really be seen how both James and Teresa have changed over time working with each other. First of all, the way he says “that’s the wrong answer” (0:56) is...somehow really appealing. Lol. And then you look at their body language and facial expressions throughout this scene, so different from the way they are as the series progresses.

To me, it seems they go through a role reversal of sorts, over time, because James gets softer and Teresa goes scorched earth.

“When I was summoned to Bolivia by El Santo, Pote gave me that card with the psalm on it. It was important to him, symbolic, because if I had it on me, it meant I’d be protected, and I’d be back,” Teresa explained. “So give me something. Something that matters. I’ll give it back.”

James was glad Teresa had that fire in her, that determination to get through anything. He was glad, too, that she could acknowledge she might be about to walk into the belly of the beast. But the cynic that he was, James thought they had a narrow shot at playing the meeting right without everything blowing up in their faces, and he didn’t think symbolism was going to change the outcome.

“Superstition isn’t going to save your life, Teresa,” James said.

This section indirectly calls back to “Throwing Copper” by Touché Amoré, the song the story is named after. It’s the last bit of the song: But if superstitions can give someone faith, then I’m throwing my wallet and begging for change.

James’ constant observation of flickering light in Teresa’s eyes can’t be the only call back to the title, right?

One of the first things James ever said to her was I’m not religious, whoever they stole this car from is after Teresa made a snide comment about the rosary hanging from the rearview mirror, as he’d raced against time to the airport. She remembered everything about her early interactions with James. She remembered his longer hair that was a little too perfectly messy—tousled. She remembered he spoke to her coldly and never smiled, even though his eyes were warm. She remembered when he’d covered for her, something he’d decided to do of his own volition, more than once, and how it helped her understand who he really was. She remembered seeing the chain against the skin of his neck, the necklace usually tucked under his shirt. She hadn’t seen the pendant until the night when Eric’s men followed them to the cemetery to retrieve Camila’s reserve money, and Charger had to pull a bullet out of James’ shoulder after the car they were in was shot up.

One of my first ideas for this story was Teresa asking for something valuable, to be returned, to “protect” her and make sure she was going to get out of the meeting okay. So I went back to something from the first season, something that the show’s wardrobe department has probably long forgotten about or lost in a box.

James’ necklace is actually visible in the very first shot he’s in ever, in 1x02, around 6:30 of the episode. It’s not tucked into his shirt. But then, in later scenes, still in the warehouse, it...disappears. He’s still wearing it though, because you can see the chain a little bit (2:29) while he’s waiting to go through the metal detector at the airport.

It’s visible again in 1x07, when he’s all bloody and has to get the bullet removed from his shoulder (0:20), and in 1x11 when he’s talking to Camila on the phone in the trailer (0:29).

And then we never see it again! It’s just absent in every other season. I don’t know why this bothers me so much, but it does. I guess I consider the accessories that characters have to be part of the world building and continuity.

So I wrote it in, gave it a backstory, gave it purpose. Yes, this is really the kind of thing that goes through my mind. 

“Yes.” Teresa nodded. “Nothing comes cheap. Not even me.“

In this whole back and forth between Teresa and Devon, I like that it starts with him saying she doesn’t have a bargaining chip but she manages to turn it around on him. I imagine that canon Teresa would be able to do the same thing, too (after all, she makes the smart move to send Lil’ T to his mother in 3x05).

Anyway, this piece of dialogue is inspired by the bridge in “The Queen of Lower Chelsea”:

Well they say these days Nothing comes cheap And everything has a price Everyone has a price Nothing is free Not even me

In 2x01, Teresa says “everything in life has a price” when she and James are at Rolando’s memorial (a moment that’s also mentioned in the chapter) as she’d devastated about Brenda. Earlier in the chapter, regarding Oksana’s death, it’s mentioned that everything has a cost. So it’s all connected.

After a while, James closed the distance and touched her face. Teresa held her breath when he wiped under her eyes with the pad of his thumb. Then he held her jaw, his fingers at the back of her neck.

”You’re gonna be fine,” James said.

There’s this moment in 1x08, when James is talking to one of the hotel maids (0:56) for information. And she’s freaking out because the cartel is in her house. James wipes at her tears with his thumb. I find it to be a confusing moment because it’s like...is he doing it to calm her down? Is he doing it threateningly (the whole scene is pretty threatening anyway)? 

But me, I’m like, yo, when do we get to see him do that to Teresa?

She was apologizing not only for pressing on his wound but for everything, preemptively, for the tough spots she put him in and for what she’d done that he didn’t know about yet. She really did know how to do a number on him, she thought, inflicting pain like a flame that burned him to let him know they were both still alive.

The last line is a reference to Bayside’s “Duality”: you’re the flame that burns me so I know that I’m still alive.

Drunj!Der Yells About Outlander

Thoughts on Ep. 410

Attempting Dry January seemed like a great idea. Give my liver a break! Save the money I would have spent on beer! No hangovers! And then I realized that January was literally going to be a month of Rogergate and immediately regretted my decision.

We're at the point in the season where the plot is dumb af so like when watching the episode, it's not so much "is this good" as "is this less shitty than the complete crap the book was." Which is like a really low bar. But this is Outlander, so the bar is always low. So this recap is mostly me being like "this is dumb and bad but they did the bare minimum to make it slightly less shitty than it could have been." (Which, considering it's their job to adapt the books, doesn't make them look very good. Less bad does not equal good.)

So like this episode, is a hot mess at times, but when adjusted for Rogergate is better than I was expecting.

The fuck does the still have to do with the episode to merit being the title card? Jamie’s lie about his hand to Bree doesn’t seem important enough to justify it. But whatever.

Has Bree gotten a haircut? Because even if it’s not straightened, it’s wayyy shorter than it would be if it was just curly but at the same length it was when it was straight.

Also Jamie’s bangs are still a crime against humanity.

This concludes Der Fixates on Wigs.

Bree in breeks!

Jamie insisting Bree be married still bugs me. All Claire’s talk about the future and how it is for women there and he’s like well clearly she should forget all of that and marry someone because I think she should. Like wtf, bro. Y’all live in the middle of fucking nowhere. No one gives a shit if she’s married or not. Say she’s a widow if you really care that much.

Seriously this episode like can’t make up its mind if handfasting counts as marriage or not. Like I thought the whole point of handfasting was that it was the same as marriage for a year. And it hasn’t been a year yet so Bree is technically married. Yet they keep referring to her as unwed both here and then again at River Run.

Bree thinking Roger won’t want her because she’s been raped and is pregnant is so fucked up, I want to hug her. But Roger is a complete asshat so at this point, it’s also probably true. (Only partly kidding there.) Because he’s the wooorst. 

But Bree, girl, you did nothing wrong. You are not “damaged.” You are not less than because this happened to you.

“He doesn’t deserve ye.” Out of context Jamie Fraser speaking the truth.

Sorry not sorry but I still hate Roger. Yes, Jamie has done some fucked up things and was an asshole and never had to atone because lol why would the show make a character do that, but that’s easier for me to overlook because he had more screen time so I could headcanon out when he was shitty. Roger hasn’t had as much screen time in his relationship with Bree when he isn’t a dick to make me want to overlook the fact that he was a complete doucherocket. The show is asking me to accept that Bree has forgiven him and loves him and yada yada but like, they never did anything to get me invested in them more than he just has a crush on her and she sort of likes him when he wasn’t being a twat. So yeah, we’re stuck with Roger, but barring some unlikely groveling when he finally comes back, I’m really not here for him.

But for real though, fucked up opinions about marriage aside, I’m so here for supportive Da!Jamie.

I was kind of undecided about how I felt about the scene where Jamie shows Bree she couldn’t have fought off Bonnet in the book. But seeing it on scree, hard pass. Yes, Bree couldn’t believe her mother about time travel until she saw it with her own eyes when Geillis went through the stones. So like, sure, Bree would probs keep feeling guilty until she *knew* she couldn’t have fought off Bonnet. (Even though she has nothing to feel guilty about. But knowing something isn’t your fault and truly accepting that deep down are two completely different things.) But JFC, Jamie. There are less fucked up ways to show her that. Like tell her you can prove to her that she couldn’t have fought off Bonnet. Get her consent before doing your little demonstration. She’s not fucking She-Hulk, being angry isn’t going to give her super strength. She can try to fight you off without thinking you’re a complete fuckwad who is denying her trauma.

I really hope Claire didn’t go into too much of the gory detail about Wentworth, tbh. I know she thought Bree would never meet Jamie, but like, it’s still kind of weird to share all the disturbing details about something that personal without the say so of the person it happened to. 

“Ye wilna forget, but time will let you heal.” Guys I’m feeling feelings.

But I still think it was the wrong call to include Bree’s rape.

Oh look it’s Roger. Time for a tea break.

Man, I regret deciding not to drink this month.

I got this text from @sileas84 and same, girl, same:

Also it’s really not a good look that they’re making Native Americans the antagonists. Again. Yes, I know it’s in the book. Don’t @ me.

Yo but I really wanted to hear the end of the Mohawk man’s story instead of cutting over to Roger.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT WHAT FLINT CREATED!

Give me all the Claire and Bree. Petition for the rest of the show to just be Claire and Bree going on adventures. Murtagh can come too. And Fergus and Marsali can be like their HQ when they need to stock up on more adventuring supplies.

But fuck yeah Claire giving Bree abortion as an option in a completely nonjudgmental way. (Because there is nothing to judge about having an abortion. Nothing.)

Friendly reminder that donating to Planned Parenthood is always a good idea, they provide all sorts affordable health services and are the only option for a lot of folks.

Also, fuck Roger for being like violently anti-choice. Yet another reason why I really don’t like that guy.

I hate the story choices that made this scene necessary, but dammit since they’re doing it, I love this scene.

#TeamBeauchampWomen5Eva

“Can ye no be smitten with cousins in yer time?” “No, you cousin-kissing weirdo. You’re like one step away from being siblings. It’s fucking gross and I’m judging you.”

“It’s nice to have a cousin. I apparently have a lot of cousins, but I didn’t get to meet any of them even though I was at their house because the writers decided it would be cool to spend half an episode with Laoghaire instead.”

“She’d grow roots there if she could... in her wee garden.” “My father used to say the same thing. He used to joke that she would leave us someday and go and live alone in the woods. Except he wasn’t joking because he fucking knew that she would do just that. Because he knew that she ended up on Fraser’s Ridge and he didn’t tell her. Instead, he joked with me about my mother leaving me because he was all about making sure I was very aware of my mother being slightly distant. Because he was a complete piece of shit. And I understand that now. Except I don’t because even though I kicked my shitty boyfriend to the curb for being the same kind of shitty, the writers of this show have deluded themselves into thinking Fred was a good guy. So I as a character have to not put the dots together.”

“And I came here to find you too.” Awww, too bad your Da turns out to be a rage monster.

Oh, cool, another montage. Cool cool cool. And that’s like the same shot of the sow from the other episode.

Claire and Bree playing the what do you miss from the future is fucking adorable and I love it with my whole heart.

Also Claire I-love-me-some-jazz Beauchamp being like “yeah, I’m totally hip with the youths, I would love Led Zeppelin” is my literal favorite.

Ok great that they’re showing Bree still having residual PTSD from her rape (the obligatory “fuck them for including it” should be a given), but WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WHY ARE THEY SHOWING ANOTHER ATTEMPTED RAPE. YOU CAN SHOW HER HAVING A BAD DREAM WITHOUT FUCKING SHOWING ANOTHER VIOLENT SEXUAL ASSAULT. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, SHOW. YOU ARE THE LITERAL WORST.

I really can’t be as mad at Lizzie as I am at Jamie. Roger was a manhandling douche with Bree so like of course she thought what she thought. But she should have talked to Bree. Really I just hate Jamie for this whole mess. Fuck him for telling Lizzie not to tell Bree. Fuck him for making Ian “clean up” his fuck up. Fuck him for getting rid of Roger without talking with Bree first. Fuck Jamie, tbh.

“I thought Roger went...back.” Y’all I just need Ian to know the truth.

I am 100000000% here for Bree ripping these idiots a new one.

This whole plot line is such a fucking mess and I hate it with the passion of a thousand suns.

“You bedded him from lust?” Well she literally just said they were fucking handfast which, again, is basically like marriage. So she fucking had a wedding night you backwards fucking douchewad.

Also, she can fuck whoever she wants. As long as it’s what *she* wants. Fuck Jamie for being 100% ok with Fergus sleeping with prostitutes but not being able to wrap his head around Bree sleeping with someone she wants to sleep with. Claire’s told him enough about the future that him being a close-minded twat about this and like her bikini in the photos and shit just makes him look bad. Yes he’s from the past, but if he’s accepted fucking time travel and the fact that it’s not cool to beat your fucking wife, he can wrap his head around the fact that attitudes toward sex change in the future.

And yes, I know that line was him thinking she lied to him about being raped, but still. Ugh.

YAAAS, QUEEN. SLAP HIM AGAIN.

Yeah, Lizzie, you should feel bad.

And yeah for Claire for going straight to Bree instead of waffling about who to comfort.

“My father would never have said the things you said to *me.* He said them to my *mother.* But he was a good man. Because the writers can’t accept that they wrote him as an absolute prick.”

Seriously, if fucking one more person on this fucking show says that Fred is a good guy, I’m gonna vomit.

I know I linked to it in last week’s recap too, but I’m still fucking holding out for Claire to get to have this convo with Jamie at some point, but I honestly highly doubt they’ll include it.

Ok so here’s my thing with them not telling Jamie that it was Bonnet who raped Bree: It’s dumb af. Bree doesn’t want to tell Jamie because it will make Jamie’s #manpain worse. Fuck. That. Noise. His manpain doesn’t matter. Bonnet is someone who is known to them, which may or may not have played into Bonnet deciding to rape Bree. Fuck Jamie’s feelings. Especially since apparently the fucking backwoods of North Carolina are a small enough place that the Frasers keep running into people they know. There’s a chance they’ll run into Bonnet again (which they do, because he’s annoying and sticks around for two more books, although I seriously hope they kill him this season instead of dragging it out for two more seasons) and it’s better to have everyone know than have them be blindsided if they run into him again. Because you *know* that if he ever ran into them again, Bonnet would 100% be like yeah, I fucked your kid. (On that note, did Bonnet know that Bree was Roger’s girlfriend in the show? I can’t remember...) Even if Bree wasn’t comfortable enough talking to Jamie about it, it would have made sense for her to have Claire tell him.

I know in the past I’ve said that Claire should have just told Jamie anyway, and I still kind of think that, given the stakes of this specific situation. But I’m also working through my own shit about my mom where I really lost trust in her because she thought she was entitled to personal information about me and that it was her place to tell my dad because he “deserved” to know. So like, I’m very conflicted about this.

I do like that Bree nods her permission to Claire to tell Jamie. If Claire’s going to agree to keep Bree’s secret, she should keep it until Bree says it’s ok.

“I sold him to the Mohawk. Because clearly seeing slavery firsthand made zero impression on me and I think it’s totally ok to sell a man into slavery.”

I still blame Jamie for 99% of this, tbh. But also, fuck you, Ian.

Don’t @ me with that they thought he was a rapist so it’s ok. It’s not ok. That is not an excuse. If you want to beat him up first and ask questions later, fine, get a few punches in, tie him up and ask Bree if it’s the fucking guy. They’re taking away her agency by “handling” things without telling her. Which is so fucked up. 

Also fucked up? SELLING A GUY INTO SLAVERY.

Ian 1000% deserved that punch. I know he loves Jamie, but what Jamie did was fucked up. He didn’t have to sell a fucking guy into slavery. Fergus is like a son to Jamie and he stood up to Jamie when he was being a fuckwit last year. There’s precedent for fucking not going along with Jamie’s dumbass ideas.

And Lizzie 100000% deserves that “You should be.”

All these fuckers deserve all of this. Keeping this shit from the one person who should have a say in what happens to the man who raped her is such paternalistic bullshit.

“No! No. You do not get to be more angry than me.” This is maybe my favorite line of the season, tbh. I fucking LOVE it. Preach, Bree, fucking preach. Fuck your manpain, Fraser, you fucked up. You can feel bad about it, but you are not the victim here.

Y’all I fucking love Bree.

Y’all I fucking don’t give a single flying fuck about Roger.

“It’s said that they adopt folk into their tribe... In order to replace those as are killed or die of sickness.” Gee, I wonder what’s going to happen at the end of the season. They 100% changed it from Jamie selling a dude to slavery to Ian selling a dude into slavery so in the finale or whatever they can have Ian be like “this is my penance” and decide to stay with the Mohawk and be adopted. Which I guess works better than in the book where he does it even though it’s Jamie who fucked up?

But I still blame Jamie most.

“You’re insane. You’ve done enough damage.” Understatement of two centuries, Bree.

Ian: “They’re more than a week ahead of us. If they dinna stop, we’ll be lagging behind for months.”

Bree:

I hate that we’re stuck with another “who’s the daddy” story line.

“After everything those two have done, can you look me in the eye and tell me you trust their judgement?” “Ok, yeah, that’s a fair point.”

“I’ll take her.” ALWAYS TAKE A MURTAGH!!!

Who the fuck is Tom Burley. He’s been mentioned twice. I know he’s one of those mystery settlers they apparently got at some point who we’ve never seen or met, but still. If you’re gonna keep name dropping someone, we should at least meet them at some point.

Oh don’t put this on Claire, Jamie. Yeah, Bree should have had Claire tell you, but FFS, you fucking wanted to kill a guy based off the word of a fucking random maid without consulting with your kid, who is the *only* person who should have a say in this situation. Fuck you.

“You told me you hit a tree.” Yaaaaas.

“You said that. I-I just let you believe it.” Ok, I know I seem like I’m letting Claire off lightly, and I probs am. But like, keeping something from Jamie because Bree asked her to, while a dumb choice on Bree’s part and possibly Claire’s part, is different than Jamie keeping something from Claire for literally no reason. Like why the fuck didn’t Jamie tell Claire he beat the shit out of a dude.

WHY CAN’T THESE FUCKERS JUST COMMUNICATE. EVEN IF THEY EACH ONLY TALK TO CLAIRE, CLAIRE WOULD HAVE PUT IT TOGETHER AND BEEN LIKE WTFFFFFF NOOOOOO.

ROGERGATE WILL FOREVER AND ALWAYS BE THE FUCKING WORST.

“Find Stephen Bonnet. Bring him to me in secret. I’m gonna kill him.” You fucking dumbass motherfucker. Clearly trying to take your own revenge in secret worked out so fucking well the first time.

The fucking men on this show are exhausting.

Claire trying to ease Bree’s mind about maybe having to deliver the baby without her makes me feel feelings. Basically I just want all of the Claire and Bree and none of the dudebros.

BUT OMFG, BREE CAN DRAW LIKE A SPOT ON PORTRAIT OF ROGER AND FUCKING NEVER DID THAT BEFORE WHEN SHE FIRST SHOWED UP AND WAS TELLING HER FAMILY ABOUT HER BOYFIEND?! (i know that’s a typo but it seemed strangely fitting so i’m keeping it) ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! LITERALLY WHEN YOU’RE TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE PERSON YOU’RE SEEING “WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE” IS LIKE IN THE FIRST THREE QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK REGARDLESS OF WHAT TIME PERIOD IT IS. YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT SHE NEVER DESCRIBED HIM OR FUCKING DREW HIS PICTURE IF SHE’S APPARENTLY NOW AN ARTIST?!

I HATE EVERYTHING.

“It’s a good likeness. If only you drew it two fucking months ago when we were all playing the getting to know you game.”

I cannot stress enough how much I hate Rogergate.

“What do you want me to say to Roger?” “Tell him everything. Like I should have had you tell Jamie. And then this whole mess could have been avoided.”

“He came back for me. And I’ve apparently not only changed my mind about marriage but also about him being a twatwaffle. So everyone should ship us even though you haven’t been given a reason to.”

Bree wanting Roger to have all the facts so he can make a decision again makes it clear just how much more emotionally mature she is than him. She deserves so much fucking better.

Gah, I knew the Ian proposing thing was coming when they did the “he’s smitten with you” bit before, but UGH. DO NOT WANT.

“For my part in this calamity, I want ye to know, if we dinna find him... It would be my honor to take your hand in the holy sacrament of marriage--” Because it’s every girl’s dream to fucking marry their fucking cousin who SOLD THEIR BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND DEPENDING ON WHAT MOOD THE SHOW IS IN INTO SLAVERY.

Why did they decide doing this story line was a good idea. Why did they fucking include this stupid proposal. Like yes, it’s better than the book because in the book it’s Jamie telling Ian to do it. But ���better than the book” doesn’t equal good.

It’s so hard to take Jamie seriously in emotional scenes when his hair looks like that.

Please next week can we have a metric fuckton of Murtagh and Bree bonding? Please?

And then the episode ended with Claire riding off with tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber.

Except it didn’t and I need more tea.

I do love the detail that one of the Mohawk has an English soldier’s coat. Most likely taken from when the Mohawk allied with the English during the French and Indian War.

Ulysses being like “sorry, in this house we have hygiene standards” when Murtz and Bree show up makes me lol, but also we’re back to dealing with slavery. Because that went so well last time.

MURCASTAAAAA

Idk if I actually ship it since she’s like so aware of him along with everyone else in the Highlands being in love with Ellen. And the whole slavery thing. But I am so here for more of the two of them together.

Ok again, though, I thought handfasting was like marriage. She straight up says that she’s handfast to the guy her parents are looking for. But in the same sentence she says she’s unmarried. MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND, SHOW.

I do like both of them being like “um, yeah, hi, we can speak for our damn selves,” though.

I hate cliffhangers.

Also Roger finding this standing stone doesn’t mean the cold open of the premiere was good or worth it, tbh. I still hate that.

Please just go through the stones so we don’t need to deal with you anymore, Roger.

Also, like, we know he’s not actually going to go back to the future. Because if he did, this whole back half of the season would be a waste. So like this cliffhanger is dumb on multiple levels.

Is it February yet? I need a drink.

Reveling in Richonne

#9: The "I'm Still With You" (5x16)

Now as much as I missed the signs that Richonne was endgame, this was one scene that even I could not deny. I mean the chemistry was oozing and I could not just place this in the "just friends" box. No, this was more. I love this scene. I loved it when it first aired and I love it to this day. The fact that Rick essentially admits to being whipped. You can't miss that. 

Michonne enters the bedroom and says "you ready?" Interestingly, she asked him that very thing before entering ASZ's gates and now she's asking again to see if he's ready to try and stay. I love that she's checking in on him and unafraid to associate with him and see him for who he is despite him being ASZ's Public Enemy Number One rn. He immediately gives her the full on detailed scoop about what he's been up to. It's adorable and hilarious that all she said is "you ready?" and then he just has to spill his guts and confess. Like he tells her about every little thing in that moment cuz he needs them to clear the air for his own sanity, after all, she's pretty much his sanity. 

I love that he's a little uncertain if she's still upset with him from their previous conversation and that it just doesn't sit well with him to be at odds with her so he has to make it right. It's interesting that he says "We lied to you..." Like first, it's very mature to own up to it that way and not try to spin it to make it sound better. But also there's other members of TF who were left out of the loop and yet, as Rick was scheming, the one person he felt he was betraying was Michonne. Since they're soul mates, going against her is going against himself, thus the guilt. 

He says he wasn't sure how she'd take it or what she'd do. Now this is curious. I wonder what he thought she might do? Part of me feels like he had to fear she would be disappointed in him and distance herself and he couldn't handle that so he'd rather make himself crazy trying to keep up appearances for her. I'm so glad they have this heart to heart in the finale so they can realize they never have to keep up appearances for each other again and they can be fully honest with one another. 

I think Michonne is surprised that Rick thinks she'd try and stop him when she asks. Like I think she was hoping he'd know by now that she fully supports him even if they don't always agree. But I honestly don't think it's that he thought she'd try to stop him, it's that if she so much as sighed to imply what he was doing made her unhappy he would stop doing it effective immediately. I love that Michonne is adamant that Rick understand she knocked him out for his sake not anyone else's. I think hearing her confidently say "That was for you. Not them." wakes him up to realize she’s on his team always. 

And then he just lays it all out and confirms that he didn't tell her about the guns because he was afraid she'd talk him out of it, cuz she could've. That's a lot of control to give someone, especially for an alpha male like Rick. He also has to be very aware of the specialness of Michonne to him for him to admit this. Like he both subconsciously and knowingly values Michonne and her thoughts and feelings. Basically, Rick knows he ain't dealing with no average chick. 👸🏾

But after Rick sweetly confesses that Michonne basically holds his heart in her hands, Michonne gives one of the best little speeches of the series. Round of applause for Danai cuz she can slay these mini monologues. She starts by reiterating they don't need their weapons here and she connects to him by making it personal and saying "I don't need my sword." Like if you think about that sentence, it’s kind of crazy. 

I'm sure Michonne was not a person pre-ZA who thought she'd ever have to use a sword, let alone become a master at using one. Her wanting ASZ to work and not be violent is her wanting some semblance of normal and safety back, like we'd all want in her situation. She doesn't want to have to be the sword wielding warrior all the time if she doesn't have to be and she wants Rick to see that Rick doesn't have to be "bite yo neck out" Rick all the time if he doesn't want to be. 

Now let me write out this little portion of what she says next because it's just beautiful. She tells him; 

 "I think you can find a way. We can find a way. And if we don't...I'm still with you." 

I love that she so eloquently spells it out for him that, honey, she is ride or die. May I break this down? I love that she first voices her belief in him as a man and leader by saying she thinks he can find a way. But then she reminds him he's not expected to find a way alone by saying we can find a way. And then she says “and if we don't" because Michonne is not naive. Optimistic, but not naive. She knows stuff can go down and she says “if we don't” cuz they are a unit and so it's not just up to Rick to figure it out if things go south. It's so important that Rick hears this and know that Michonne might be hopeful but she's also ready at any minute to take care of business, so he really doesn't have to put on a front for her. She sees pros and cons cuz she's just well rounded like that. Again, 👸🏾. 

And the "I'm still with you" 😍😍😍 Such a great line. I love that she acknowledges the deep bond and partnership they've built by telling him that she is with him regardless. By saying "I'm still with you" she's reminding him that she's never left. She's been with him and she has every intention to stay with him through thick and thin. I love that it’s so clear these words mean the world to Rick and he is getting his life in this moment. 

This scene also has a quote from Michonne that resonated with me from the moment I heard it. It's the last part of her speech to Rick when she says "Something's gonna happen. Just don't make something happen." Those are wise words to live by. Like sometimes we can have the "Raven Baxter" effect (yes, this is a That's So Raven reference because my TV taste is so versatile 😂 ) but the effect is where you're so sure you can see something's going to happen that you essentially will it to happen. It's such a smart approach to instead think "Something is going to happen, that's the way life is, but I'm not going to over think or overreact thus forcing something to happen." Michonne gave us a life lesson right there lol. 

They are so up close and personal as they talk in this scene and the lighting is on point too. And then Michonne softly pushing his gun away and saying "don't be too long" like the queen and wife she is. Rick deserves a woman who will love and support him and be with him no matter what. He didn't have that before and I think that he realized in this scene that she was that to him but now it was just a matter of overcoming the PTSD to truly act on this realization.

I missed a lot of their elevator looks but the way that Rick looks at Michonne in this scene. A1👌🏽 It makes sense that a lot of people thought they might kiss. Like looking back now, those two had to end up together. I don't know a woman or man who could come along and get in a relationship with them and not start to feel insecure about the way those two look at each other and interact. If they were with anyone else, that other person would so clearly sense that their heart belonged to someone else. Like it's crazy that a scene as intimate and romantic as this was taking place between R&M during the dumb Jessie arc that I couldn't stand. But I won't talk too much about that because like so many of you...

And in this scene, neither did Rick :). This iconic "I'm still with you" scene was special in every way and it was a verbal declaration of their love for each other. For her to look him in his eyes and tell him even if everything falls apart "I'm still with you." This moment is everything! And it was proof that love "conquers" all (I think all TWD episode titles are about Richonne lol)

I really want "I love you" to be said between R&M at some point in the series, even though they've said it countless times in their actions, but if we never get verbal "I love you's" then this scene will certainly suffice because this was both of their subconsciouses saying those three special words.

A cute domestic scene

“Dare I say that your championship is being challenged?” Jackson mused, stopping on his way to the kitchen to look over the back of the couch at the small congregation of people on and in front of the seats in the living room.

“My what now?” Kyros didn’t look up from the cake he was slotting into the oven to answer his friend.

“Your Mario Kart title. The “fastest on Rainbow Road one.” Jackson said.

“Yeah Kyros, get freakin’ wrecked! I just crushed your time!” Elvina shrieked, throwing her hands and the remote (which was thankfully still attached to her wrist) into the air to the sounds of cheering from the other people in the room, as well as the TV.

Kyros whipped around. “Are you actually kidding me right now?” Kyros said. “Are you actually kidding me right now?” He grabbed the ends of his neon, paisley oven mitts and ripped them off. “Dave, hold my mitts.”

“Kick her ass baby, I got yo’ mitts,” Dave said, taking them from Kyros as he stormed (good-naturedly) over to the living room and plopped down with an audible thud on the couch next to Elvina.

“The remote, please,” Kyros said.

Elvina, laughing, handed it over. “You’d better just make room in your life for the new Space Queen,” she said. “I beat you by a full second.”

“Oh ho ho, we shall see, shall we?” Kyros said, queueing the game up and challenging Elvina’s ghost time.

“I Believe in you!” Dave called from the kitchen, swinging the oven mitts above his head like flags. “You’re the only Space King I’ll ever kneel for!”

Jackson choked on his drink and came up coughing. “You’ll what now?”

“Kneel. Like you kneel when a royal procession passes through. It implies reverence?” Dave said. “I thought you would understand that reference. That is western culture right?”

“Yes and no?” Jackson said, mentally glaring at Elvina and Nicole, who were cackling like mad men. “Just don’t…” he shook his head.

“Don’t listen to them Dave, you can kneel for me any time you want,” Kyros yelled.

“Kyros nO.”

“Kyros yes! -- oh wait holy mother of judas priest who in the everloving hell-- Elvina you dirty cheater! That’s not even fair!”

“All’s fair in love and Mario Kart, my friend,” Elvina purred. “And that means I still reign victorious! Suck on that!”

Kyros groaned and buried his face in his hands, the remote bouncing idly off his arm.

[tilly-tali]

finished andromeda. i need to chat. hit me up. impressions under the cut.

granted i have never played at release before, i have never encountered so many bugs/glitches in my life. nav points not updating, enemies spawning inside of rocks, un-scanable/non-interactive quest related datapads, and thanks for ruining my movie night group shot peebee! (she was sitting inside of scotty instead of on his lap or beside him - rude!) sometimes even a reload was not enough. luckily the final battle sequence had enough autosave points because that one was the worst.

speaking of last battle, i found it kind of underwhelming/lackluster. maybe it was just the normal setting. but im not usually so good as to need to play hardcore.

as for the ending/overall storyline, i was slightly disappointed. it just seems kinda small now that its all over. like i understand its probably the first in however-long-new series (though with all the negativity i worry the series is at risk, but i hope not!) and that they need to get things established, but it just didnt have that ‘fullness’ that i felt at the end of the original mass effect. yes they needed to leave some doors open for the future storylines, for the dlc’s we know are coming eventually, but some things seem incomplete in a bad way. i know the epilogue is all ‘we have so much more exploring to do’ but what about the ancient ai - which if you saved is missing from sam node if you leave hyperion and come back to meridian after your interview with keri or whatever else. what about the benefactor and the outlaws/collective? my sense of resolution was not achieved, it doesnt feel complete in the way me1 did, or hell even 2.

other things get a little nitpicky:

we had to select m or f shepard in the cc, but the one time shep is mentioned, its neutral and by title only, so what was the point?

i thought we were supposed to be able to customize ryders quarters on the tempest, did they really just mean the ship collection?

the barrage of new emails everytime you went back to the tempest (though this might be due to the way i played in that i never left a planet until i was basically done with all the available quests at the time) and the fact that there was always a cut scene upon entering it, like sometimes i just wanted to get back on my ship, still docked on eos or whatever and just chat up my squadies, check my email, make some new gear. i didn’t need to lift off for that.

i was also disappointed in the designs of the turians and asari (salarians looked amazing though!). some of the coloring on the krogan or their turian like facial markings was also not cool to me. i also think the additions to sloane kelly were a little too much (though i have yet to assess her since the addition of the new patch to see if she was updated). yeah sure shes a battle hardened outlaw queen and should look distinctive, but the heterochromia, plus the space makeup, plus the tats and extensive scarring was maybe overkill, especially since reyes is so freshfaced and generic in comparison. its kinda bioware’s thing though, put crazy makeup on the bad guys (ie tarohne in da2) but still. suvi’s coloration also grates on my nerves: orange hair, pink lips, red suit? ahh. but i am happy addison looks much better after the patch.

and on the patch subject: the new number key prompts for dialogue choice annoy the shit out of me! i mean yes its nice if thats how you like to pick your choices but the numbering order seems weird to me, the fact that they all say [num] execpt for 6 is just strange. and it looks cluttered, especially if youve played almost the whole game without them. numbering them [1] dialogue choice [2] dialogue choice would be so much better.

one thing i do wish for would be a way to ‘pick’ reyes and the collective without letting the sniper hit sloane. like my ryder wouldn’t have let her die like that but he wouldn’t have left her in power either. i wouldn’t have minded if reyes still ends up killing her at some point in that mission, but just not outright with a cheap shot like the one he took.

i also think the favorites/profiles set up was difficult to set up and maneuver. i never got it figured out (kept deleting my favorites or removing profiles) and so i just used the same setting for the whole game. might have gotten more use out of new fancy powers and combos if i had been able to make it work. being able to control squadmate powers for combos might also have been nice, or atleast know they were using a power so i could plan accordingly. i really felt i was doing all the combat work.

ok so i get that all if the above is on the negative side. but its easier to pick out all the stuff i disliked, but i did like it overall. i will be playing more, just maybe a little less than the original series. i should have made a post closer to the beginning of my playthrough, when all things were new and exciting. things i did like:

general game play worked for me.

2 words: jump jets.

liam kosta is my fave. such a sweetie.

everywhere was pretty.

nomad = mako = happy me.

old game references.

ryder is always cute, twin also cute.

banter and sarcasm.

capt dunn is the coolest lady yo.

final memory unlock blew my mind.

getting to play as your twin for all of 30 seconds.

things i have questions on:

is the nexus uprising book worth a read? does it mention the benefactor and/or the general beginning of the initiative?

jien garson is human and the initiative was her idea, yes? how did the other races get involved, did she invite them, want them to join, or was it solely human based originally? did she bring them in on it just for money to keep it going for humanity, prior to the benefactor stepping in?

where is my twin when i return to visit meridian?!?!?! i left her resting in my quarters on the hyperion to go to the nexus for my final interview with keri (which ps she tells you shes going to go to meridan anyways so like why couldnt she have just arrived and i speak to her there on site instead of flying all the way back to the nexus?) and when i come back again, shes no where to be found?!?! like im glad shes up and out of bed and feeling better, but don’t be going off on crazy missions just yet sis!

[aleinia]

hey so i wanted to post a kind of “reactionary/reading” post thing for Victorian Tale. but it was shorter than i anticipated so i kinda just read the whole thing without pause, and since i was so absorbed, i just wrote down my reactions and not a lot of, like, thought. so enjoy these reactions(tm). also warning: minor(?) spoilers.

Wow I missed the motm angst. It already takes you in and makes you wonder wtf is going on

and i already like victoria. i barely know her but im here for her.

im already in ch 4 which i think is gonna show her death scene

(sidenote i kinda miss the titles of chapters :c but das okay)

i like the talk of victoria being a coward and someone who’s easily frightened. cos it means theres a potential for her to lose that and become the complete opposite. and those are always satisfying to see lol

also i do like the nickname Tori instead of, say, Vicky

also reading about victoria being so scared i do wonder why she’s like that. if it’s gonna be explored or it’s just part of her character and that’s it.

oh bb victoria’s a redhead hell ye bb

also i think this is where she gonna die, so i keep thinking about the contrast with a rev with that type of personality

yo…………..wtf.

I THOUGHT HER DEATH MIGHT’VE BEEN MORE DRAMATIC AND LONG BUT HOLY SHIT SHE WAS JUST SHOT IN THE HEAD

wow that was good

like my heart dropped damn

damn poor tori dude

she didn't even see it coming

i wonder what her pulse is gonna be. i know that Rodell was also shot and i wondered what his pulse was. it was apparently close range

oh bb a Sheer reference hell ye bb

ah i assume it’s malek, just called her a little bird. reminds me of TEN being called jay

hmm i do wonder the pulse tho…i know a long painful death isn't necessary but still 🤔

i find it funny that she just shrugs after checking that the blood aint hers lmfao. 

also dat white hair tho….. hm

i find it interesting that malek seems to have influence over her body. i understand emotions from the other books, but the physical aspect seems new.

i like the direction this seems to be going though. like her and malek developing a relationship. cos we get to see it happen from the beginning, which is nice and different. and he doesn't seem to be overly mean or anything. so i hope they can have a nice friendship or sorts lol

so malek is definitely possessing her body. kinda reminds me of DID. and it seems that the more he possesses her the more her hair turns white? the hair turning white is pretty interesting tho. iirc in motm, a revenants hair turning white meant that they were losing their humanity. but she doesn't seem to be there at all so

tbh i relate to tori so much lmfao. like how easily overwhelmed and stressed she gets like yas queen i feel u

larissa’s such a bitch oh boy

“All in all, it’s shaping up to be a normal enough Friday night.” oh n o

i dont like that malek is apparently deciding what she's wearing…..lol. and she has a hickey? oh no what is this. this no bueno.

god poor tori

lol the red eyes thing, i assume is malek’s eye color, but it reminds me of two. I MISS TWO. but anyway.

nvm malek i liked u but i don't like what u doin no more tsk tsk

what are these impulses she's feeling? like cutting her hair for ex. like why. is it just her deepest desires?

okay so hes not a human soul. it explains why he can control her body. things are getting interesting lol now that we’re finally gonna get an explanation

oh bb the High Queen. who dat. oh it’s a witch. o h hell ye bb

okay some world building good. so the Grey Lily is a team of Revenants and Pravus is the area where all revs are welcome. so i assume Victoria is gonna end up going there cos somethings gonna happen and they gonna find out she's a revenant. and MAYBE THREE AND FIVE AND DOMINIC AND RODELL WILL BE THERE HELL YE BB

oh tracing her vertebrae. does that mean her pulse is in her spine? like with ten?

i like that malek can influence her speaking, cos thats mostly harmless lol.

so he CAN take control of her body, and has. ugh i still don't like that tho. i guess malek’s a little better but i don't like that at all lmfao.

i wonder who the Grey King is...

lmao i agree with malek—that doesn't bode well at all. they're being too nice.

also being able to see him in the mirror is something new and interesting. i wonder if its bc he's not a human soul

oh no victoria baby what is u doin. why u goin to a strangers house? oh no bb why….

dammit malek stop making me like you. him giving her that advice about giving out his address is so sound dammit listen to him tori

so malek wasn't murdered it seems. we still don't know what type of soul he is tho since he says he's not a human soul.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

oh BB SHE IN THE MAUSOLEUM I KNEW I RECOGNIZED THAT DESCRIPTION

okay so it was closed 2 years ago. so it hasn't been that long. and he's saying the Greys overran it. hmmmmmm...is it possible that Three and Five are somehow involved in that? cos they were the ones who ruined the place lol

damn poor victoria. feeling alone is the worst i relate

pg 124 ����

okay but victoria has a compelling thing going on. she never appreciated being alive bc she was also so scared of death. so now that she's dead she has the opportunity to truly appreciate being alive. it’s a second chance like malek said.

also here it is again. the protagonist being tortured lol damn :((

so people called malek a traitor

also the problem here is victoria needs to stop thinking she's human. like i get it she wants to be human but pain isn't the only identifier of that. like sweetie s t op :c

oh no malek just struck a cord with me LOL. cos he calling her selfish for the movie ticket thing oh no bb

BITCH ITS TEN

YAS TEN hell ye bb TEN

okay so tori’s mom isn’t dead. right? all she did was leave

oh hell yeah bitch the moment i’ve been waiting for—victoria making ppl her bitches

her pulse is similar to ten’s in appearance lol. in the spine area too oh hell ye bb

oh no “like living tattoos” reminds me of SEVEN *sobs*

also i REALLY love the throne imagery. of malek taking control and she sits on a throne. like fuck me up

lol im SORRY but the three tails thing reminds of me of naruto 

das it :]
