TBOSAS on Crack short take (64)
*How Dr. Gaulā€™s Reaping Day Speech went*
Coryo: *enters Heavensbee Hall* Ugh. Iā€™m tired.šŸ˜ž I shouldā€™ve waited for Seji Pieā€™s car to pick me up.
Clemensia: Snowy! Snowy, over here!
Festus: Coryo, my bro, theyā€™re serving posca today!
Coryo: Free posca?šŸ„¹
Festus: Yeah! Free posca!
Felix: And a scandalously tasting lamb!
Coryo: Nice! Let me just grab a plate real quick.
Lysistrata: No need! You can have my plate instead.šŸ˜Š
Coryo: Thank you, Lizzie. Youā€™re the best.
Lysistrata: Of course I am.
Felix: Try the lamb stew first. Itā€™s really delicious.
Coryo: Well, donā€™t mind if I do-
Clemensia: Bestie, are you sweating right now?
Coryo: Yeah.
Clemensia: Did you walk from your place to school again?
Coryo: Unfortunately.
Festus: I thought you and your darling boyfriend decided to take his car to school today?
Coryo: I thought so too. However, Strabo Plinth happened.
Felix: Did your Seji Pie stood you up because of his scheming father?
Coryo: No, not really. Ma called me earlier and said that her two beloved idiots were having another shouting match about the Hunger Games again.
Festus: Why though?
Clemensia: Its Reaping Day, you child.šŸ™„
Festus: Reaping Day?! Thatā€™s today?!
Clemensia: Obviously.
Festus: But I thought today was Flower Power Friendship Day!
Coryo: āœØFPFDāœØ was last month, Creed!
Festus: Oh. My mistake. Now I feel bad for wearing my glow in the dark sunflower suit for this solemn event.šŸ˜ž
Coryo: Well, at least youā€™re not wearing your blinding mirrorball suit like last time.
Festus: To be fair, I thought we were celebrating āœØGlitter Glam Dance Dance Baby DayāœØ, and not Highbottomā€™s Killer Kids Game.
Felix: But seriously, Creed, stop wearing your weird suits every Reaping Day. People might think that youā€™re being undeniably churlish and disrespectful.
Festus: Fine! But no promises.
Androcles: At least youā€™re not wearing inappropriate short shorts like Heavensbee-
Hilarius: My Reaping Day short shorts are classy and iconic, Andie! They even make my long luscious legs look fabulous.
Androcles: I disagree.
Hilarius: But-
Urban: Honestly, Hilari, Anderson is right. Your Reaping Day short shorts just make you look like a stupid kinky whor-
Lysistrata: Watch your profanities, Ban Ban.
Urban: Youā€™re not my mom!
Lysistrata: Thank Panem for that.
Hilarius: My short shorts are beautiful!
Androcles: Doubt.
Coryo: *sighs* I wish my Seji Pie was here right now-
Sejanus: *suddenly appears and hugs Coryo from behind* My love, Iā€™m finally here!
Coryo: Whatā€™s wrong, Babe? Why are you crying?
Sejanus: You have to help me fight my evil old man again!šŸ˜­
Coryo: Fine. Letā€™s go.
Felix: May the odds be ever in your favor, brother.
Coryo: Thanks. *walks away to confront Strabo with a crying Sejanus*
Lysistrata: Poor Sejanus. Heā€™s going to make a scene again, isnā€™t he.šŸ˜”
Clemensia: I hope not.
Felix: But he probably will.
Hilarius: Iā€™ll bet 50 bucks that heā€™ll throw his chair at our poor innocent screen again.
Festus: Like last yearā€™s Hunger Games?
Dennis: Lol. Last year was wild.
Androcles: Last year was awful.
Urban: What do you mean by awful Last time I checked, we donā€™t watch the Hunger Games.
Felix: True. We have agreed to stop watching Highbottomā€™s Killer Kids Game for good because of poor Coryoā€™s mental and ā€œferalā€ breakdowns.
Urban: Donā€™t forget about Apollo Ringā€™s endless crying and crazy Montyā€™s death screams.
Androcles: Of course I know that, Ban Ban. We all know that.
Dennis: To be fair, the blood and gore will only trigger our irreversible war traumas again.
Androcles: But that still didnā€™t stop rich boy Sejanus Plinth from throwing his chair at the screen last year.
Felix: He also threw mine.šŸ˜¢
Dennis: And mine.
Clemensia: Well, unlike the rest of you, Iā€™m the only one who doesnā€™t have an irreversible war trauma-
Dennis: Yet. You donā€™t have one yet! But someday, you will!šŸ˜€
Androcles: Eventually.
Dennis: Definitely.
Clemensia: Is that a threat?
Dennis: No. I just have a strong feeling that this year, youā€™ll finally develop one that will make your boring life more interesting-
Androcles: Just like the rest of us!
Clemensia: I would rather stay normal and boring.
Dennis: Donā€™t you want to connect with Palmyra Monty-
Clemensia: No.
Dennis: Or understand Persephoneā€™s crazy behavior?
Clemensia: No.
Androcles: But Percy Price is great! I mean, just look at her sniffing and asking those unlucky students over there if they stole her ā€œdeliciousā€ Maid Stew again.
Persephone: *is running wild all over the place* Whereā€™s my Maid Stew?! Give me my Maid Stew! Festus, my love, did you hide my precious stew?! Weewoo! Whereā€™s my stew?! Arachne, you b*tch! Give me my stew!
Festus: Not again.šŸ˜ž
Arachne: Iā€™m so calling the Peacekeepers after this.
Felix: *sighs* I just hope that this year will be peaceful and productive for everyone-
Arachne: But you.
Felix: Donā€™t jinx me, Crane! Iā€™ll curse you back!
Arachne: Lol. You can try-
Felix: I hope youā€™ll wear an ugly neck brace for the rest of the Hunger Games!
Arachne: Ha! Like that would ever happen-
Felix: Just you wait, Crane. Just you wait!
Clemensia: Yup. I would rather stay normal.
Hilarius: So. . . Who wants to continue the betting?šŸ˜Š
Urban: Fine. Iā€™ll bet 70 bucks if Plinth throws at least 2 chairs at Dr. Gaul today.
Pup: A hundred if one of those chairs ā€œaccidentallyā€ hits Highbottom.
Hilarius: A thousand if Highbottom blames poor Coryo for not defending him against Plinth.
Pup: Hilari, I thought you said that you donā€™t have any money left to bet since the day that your creepy old man froze your weekly allowance for good-
Hilarius: Thatā€™s why Iā€™m betting.
Pup: You do know that your odds of winning are pretty low, right?
Hilarius: Thatā€™s why Iā€™m betting everything.šŸ˜Ž
Pup: Well, good luck being homeless and penniless before this day ends.
Hilarius: Iā€™m not homeless! Iā€™m just temporarily displaced and having indefinite sleepovers with Festus and his pet rats!
Pup: Please donā€™t tell me that youā€™re sleeping inside Creedā€™s rat infested dumpster-
Festus: Heavensbee is currently sleeping in my rat infested dumpster.
Pup: How the mighty have fallen.
Hilarius: FYI, Pup, Creedā€™s old dumpster was cozy and comfortably-
Lysistrata: Dirty.
Gaius: Yo, can I bet too?
Coryo: *joins the group again with a now happy Sejanus* Guys, please stop betting on my boyfriendā€™s random outbursts and anger issues.
Urban: Why?
Coryo: He will cry.
Sejanus: I will cry.
Festus: 20 bucks if Seji Pie yells ā€œyouā€™re all monstersā€ at the teachers again.
Sejanus: Double it.
Coryo: Festus, donā€™t encourage him!
Festus: But I need money.
Coryo: We all need money!
Sejanus: I have money.šŸ˜€
Hilarius: Can I borrow-
Sejanus: No. Youā€™re not my Coryo.
Hilarius: Sad.šŸ˜¢
Prof.Sickle: Children, sit down! Weā€™re officially starting!
Felix: But weā€™re still eating-
Prof.Sickle: F*ck your lamb stew! Sit down!
Felix: My Gran Gran will hear about this.
Coryo: Letā€™s get this over with and go home to your place, Babe.
Sejanus: Will you hold and comfort me when I cry again, my love?šŸ„ŗ
Coryo: Always.
Festus: Front seat! Front seat! Iā€™ll take the front seat!
Felix: Coryo, let me sit next to you-
Lysistrata: Me first!
Hilarius: No, me!
Apollo: Weewoo! Excuse me!
Diana: Bro, share the chair!
Androcles: Scooch over, Hilari! Iā€™m sitting next to Felix.
Persephone: Festus!
Festus: Yes, my love?
Persephone: Sit on my lap!
Festus: Really?
Persephone: Sit on my lap now!
Festus: Yes, my queen!
Hilarius: Yo, Urban, can I sit on your lap?
Urban: F*ck off, Heavensbee.
Sejanus: Coryo-
Coryo: Iā€™m already sitting on yours, Babe.
Sejanus: I know that and I love it, my love!šŸ˜ Every bit of it! Every single minute!
Coryo: Babe-
Sejanus: You can even sit on my lap forever!
Coryo: My love-
Sejanus: And ever and ever!
Prof.Sickle: Children! Children, for the love of Panem, please act normal today!
Palmyra: Define normal-
Dr.Gaul: *enters the scene* How tantalizing to see all your shining young faces on this auspicious day-
Androcles: Is this day really auspicious?
Felix: *is still holding and eating his lamb stew* Nah. This lamb stew is more auspicious than her.
Everyone: *snickers*
Gaius: Nice one, Class Pres!
Prof.Sickle: Children, quiet!
Dr.Gaul: *glares at Felix* I am Dr. Volumnia Gaul! Your humble Head Gamemaker-
Hilarius: She ainā€™t humble though-
Prof.Sickle: Heavensbee!
Hilarius: Just saying.
Dr.Gaul: *glares daggers at Hilarius* In charge of the War Department and all its affiliated concerns-
Festus: *stands up and praises the heavens* Thank Panem! Thank you, Panem! Sheā€™s not in charge of the Food Department!
Prof.Sickle: Creed-
Festus: *turns around and faces the crowd* Hip hip!
Everyone: Hooray!
Festus: Hip hip!
Everyone: Hooray!šŸ„³
Festus: Hip hip-
Prof.Sickle: Creed, sit down!
Festus: I was just-
Dr.Gaul: *suddenly throws a chalkboard eraser at Festus* As I was saying, you stupid brat!
Festus: You were saying?
Vipsania: Wow. He just said that.
Diana: Creed is so brave.
Juno: And stupid.
Domitia: Definitely.
Livia: Lol. Somebody is getting another demerit again.
Festus: And itā€™s not gonna be me-
Prof.Sickle: For the love of my sh*tty salary, Creed! Sit the f*ck down and shut up!
Festus:. . .
Everyone:. . .
Prof.Sickle: Dr. Gaul, please continue.
Dr.Gaul: As I was saying, Iā€™d broken free of my laboratory today-
Coryo: That was a big mistake.
Sejanus: True.
Felix: I concur.
Dr.Gaul: What is wrong with you?!
Coryo: Sejanus, my love, she is bullying me again!
Sejanus: Felix, give me your chair!
Felix: No.
Hilarius: Donā€™t be a coward, Class Pres! Give him your chair!
Felix: No! Sejanus will just throw my poor innocent chair again!
Hilarius: I need money!
Sejanus: I need a chair!
Hilarius: *stands up* Here! You can have my chair!
Sejanus: Ew. No. Iā€™m not touching that.
Hilarius: Why?!šŸ˜­
Sejanus: You know why!
Hilarius: Sleeping in a dumpster for 3 straight days doesnā€™t mean that Iā€™m permanently filthy!
Festus: My pet rats disagree.
Prof.Sickle: Dr. Gaul, please continue!
Dr.Gaul: To examine you!
Apollo: Me?
Dr.Gaul: Yes, you! The leaders of the next generation-
Apollo: Iā€™m going to be a leader?
Urban: I hope not.
Dr.Gaul: *is now giving everyone her infamous death stare* I wonā€™t be around forever after all-
Clemensia: Thank Panem.
Felix: Thank you, Panem!
Diana: Panem is good!
Gaius: All the time!
Lysistrata: Penam is good?
Apollo: All the time!
Sejanus: My pockets are full!
Coryo: All the time!
Androcles: My grades are sh*t!
Urban: All the time!
Palmyra: My cooking is good!
Everyone: No!
Prof.Sickle: *is now losing her mind* Children, please! Iā€™m begging you! Be normal! Be f*ckinā€™ normal! Just for today! Dammit! Just for this f*ckinā€™ day! Heck! Do it for me! Do it for your favorite teacher!
Livia: Sheā€™s not my favorite-
Prof.Sickle: I really really need that f*ckinā€™ salary raise, you monsters!šŸ˜­
Dr.Gaul:. . .
Everyone:. . .
Felix: This lamb stew still tastes scandalous though.
Io: Felix, please-
Felix: Just saying.
Dr.Gaul: Highbottom was right! I shouldā€™ve retired years ago!šŸ˜©

Quick post for Ghosts 3x03
I never got around to making the post but it's almost time for the next episode so let's do this lol
Hetty's scandalous artwork xD genuinely loved that lol, so good
And Nancy's comment xD she slayed that lol
Genuinely though, getting more Hetty backstory was amazing!! It's so sad what happened though :(( I know we know her dad was Not Good but it just sucks :(. And her poor man xd.
I am glad Isaac ended up not listening to her though lol. Like sure, protecting your money in many cases is totally valid. But also like. It's 10 thousand dollars and you're dead xD. What is either of you gonna do with it without the other's say so lol. It's not a deal breaker xD. Anyway, I love Isaac and Nigel with my whole heart thank you <33.
I knew Bela would start seeing him as a bad boy after lying to her xD. I'm glad she still stood up for herself though!! Also it's just wild that he came up with that lie in the first place šŸ’€. Poor ghosts though, they were so happy and hopeful for a second xd. Anyway, I do think it would've been interesting to see them try and communicate it without Sam! But Sam coming back made for some hilarious moments lol. Her and Jay lying about it too was wild though šŸ’€. And him throwing himself down the stairs xD man is out of control slfjdhs. Also naur the Flower mention šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ’”. Also oof for blowing his cover with that xd. I am glad Bela found out, though, she deserved to know. Also the biker being a ghost XDD. But nonetheless, I am glad she's still with a mostly good guy lol. Also why didn't Jay and Sam just try and convince her that made him a bad boy instead of keep up the lie lol xD.
And I genuinely kinda expected him to start seeing ghosts for real after his fall and not have anyone believe him for a hot second XD. Anyway lol!
Ahh right his name is Eric
I saw it when I was looking up a summary to make sure I wasn't missing anything xD.
Also, I loved seeing Thor and Sass watching Hetty's flashback! A their reactions were great lol, and B it's nice when we see the older ghosts in flashbacks :)! Helps everything more connected :D. Also I'm glad they managed to help because of it.
Anyway, Alberta, Pete, and Trevor also slayed <3 we just didn't see as much of them. Though of course there's still Trevor being hung up on Bela lol. Good for him I guess xD
Oh and the idea to bring Flower back with a seance!! I'll talk about that in a minute but for now just AAAHHHH that would be so slay :'D
I also watched the promo for the next episode, and WOW it looks wild lol. A seance, AND CAROL DYING?? I'm wondering if maybe she'll die but go up to heaven, and the seance will bring her down (briefly). But, who knows I guess ā”ā (ā Ā ā āˆµā Ā ā )ā ā”Œ. I don't think we're going to see Flower, but it would be really nice :')). Especially for Thor :'D :'( šŸ„°šŸ„°ā¤ļø. I miss her so much šŸ„ŗšŸ˜­ā¤ļø. But, I'm just not sure that I believe we will.
Anyway, I loved this episode!! It was great :D. It was fun seeing Eric and Bela again, and thinking, if even just for a moment lol, there might be someone else who can see ghosts xD :). And it was great to see more of Hetty's life! Also, just, Nisaac <3. But yeah :DD! I had a lot of fun watching this episode :)).
I'll see y'all for the next one!!

Iā€™m baaaaaaaackkkk! Once I finally got through all my āœØmedical problemsāœØ (Iā€™m a specialty cuz they couldnā€™t figure out what it was) I went home and was pretty depressed bc I had to quit my awesome seasonal job earlier than planned and move back home and but for my birthday my parents adopted two kitties and that helped me so much! I named them Loki and Bucky! But then I got covid (and even lost my taste AND smell šŸ˜­ my mom is an amazing cook and loves spices and flavors so it was so horrible to eat the food and it being like a family who dont use spices) and it went through my family so when I was out I was so sick I didnā€™t even want to watch stuff but than once I was healthy enough but still sick I finally started watching my kdramas again (I started rewatching Goblin)!
I finally finished ā€˜Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-jooā€™ and I enjoyed it so much! The only problem I had was them using skinny actors when they couldā€™ve used plus size actors! And how they used baggy clothing to make them look bigger. It was kinda annoying when Iā€™m sure there are plenty of plus size actors that wouldā€™ve been great at that show! Also when they were lifting the weights it was really hard to take it serious when they were obviously fake or light. But thatā€™s just me being nit picky.
It was such a different storyline not a lot of action but it was so nice to see family and the aunt and uncle basically adopting their nephew and him calling them mom and dad. Also Bok-joo and her relationship with her father was really nice to see. And I craved fried chicken every time they showed them at the restaurant. It was really nice show to watch when youā€™re sick and donā€™t have to worry about a major storyline to follow. I loved how she went to a weight loss dr just bc he was cute šŸ˜… it was also fun to see the dr and his brothers relationship. Definitely fun to watch and the whole weightlifting team was hilarious. And I also enjoyed the roommates storyline that was cool tho she was a real bitch at first but her character definitely turned around at the end. I loved the two main characters and their relationship it was so cuteee! I give this a 7/10 just because of what my problems where above. If those two main problems it would definitely be a 9/10.
I also finished Vincenzo! That was really good show I enjoyed that but I also watched it when I was coming out of brain fog so I really donā€™t remember much šŸ˜… but I do remember when Vā€™s mom died and he went crazy and that was SO sexy! Also the entire apartment family where so funny and hilarious. Definitely recommend this one 9/10 (a LOT of violence)
Iā€™m baaaaack and Iā€™m so happy!
oh wow, i'm so sorry about everything that's happened--that all sounds like quite a lot, but i'm glad you're hopefully on the road to recovery? (and being at home and having cats! that's exciting and sounds like a brighter spot.)
ha, i also love the enthusiasm for the kdramas you watched! i remember how cute weightlifting fairy was (and i absolutely agree, i know that the main actress lee sung kyung gained some weight for the role, but like...? i wish they chose a plus-size actress for the role. definitely a huge critique i have of the entertainment industry especially in korea is how there's not a whole ton of body size diversity, which ://// but! yes, the family, friendship, and whole college/school love themes are very cute, even if i also wish that there was more diversity in body size. it was such a good drama to showcase that too, given that like? weightlifting?? sports??? but :///).
and oh, vincenzo! i still need to watch it, but song joong ki is such a great actor (i recommend one of his earlier kdramas, sungkyunkwan scandal...he's not the lead in that show, but it remains one of my favorite roles of his. also, his character likes guys), and i've def. been curious about jeon yeo been's works too (i heard she was in the kdrama save me, which is another hit available on netflix, although i've heard it's very dark).
glad you're enjoying yourself!

Ok I have finished the season of the AM Archives:
(Heavy spoilers)
Iā€™m still in the denial stage about green. Hmmm.
When he was telling sam that he ā€œmay never have enoughā€ time re: getting over Joan, in my head I was like ā€œwow this is killing meā€ and now Iā€™m like ā€œwow what an ironic choice of wordsā€
Even though Iā€™m not generally in favor of the concept of getting back together with oneā€™s ex, part of me was rooting for Owen & Joan! Intellectually I know that they could never go back to the way things were bc of the whole Mark situation ā€” but the exes to co-directors dynamic and the unresolved romantic tension made me kindaaa want them to get back together, someday, after enough time has passed for them to rebuild trust and friendship. And look where we are now.
Itā€™s about the yearning
Joan/Jackson is not a pairing I expected at the beginning of this show, but I dig it. Though it would be a good healthy idea for Joan to consider the concept of a work/life balance & maybe try to pursue some relationships (friendships & romance alike) with people outside work... just a thought hun youā€™re the therapist here :)
That bit where Joan pulled Jackson aside before he went to get the shipamine from the lab and he was all like ā€œbut Iā€™m not just anyone to you, Joanā€... like, what kind of smooth ass motherfucker... I wish I had that kind of game
I like where this whole Sam/Mags thing is going (god knows Iā€™ll never complain about more wlw ships in my fiction)... but also mark :(
Even though losing his ability for some indeterminate amount of time/potentially forever is not necessarily a good thing, it would solve one issue in Mark & Samā€™s relationship ā€” the whole him taking her power and time traveling without being able to get back shit ā€” so that timing kinda just bites
Mark visiting his & Joanā€™s parents is :( but also it all makes so much more sense. Like how he was triggered by their intolerance towards atypicals and went right back into his trauma state, which is a big reason why he volunteered. Plus he was trying to help out another atypical which is so kindhearted of him even if it was reckless and caused unnecessary drama with his sister :,(
Ok Oliver was a DELIGHT he was so hilarious and also a great narrative tool to add some lighthearted dialogue into those very intense episodes. Plus Iā€™m a big fan of Kristian Bruun from ye olā€™ orphan black days so it was cool to hear his acting in a different medium!
Helen really had me fooled for a moment.., I was like wow it IS fucked up that the AM had her on tier 5 for just a radio mishap. But that episode was called ā€œthink twiceā€ so really I shoulda known šŸ‘€. Great villain and also super interesting about the way human brain activity works in a similar way to the radio frequencies
On a somewhat unrelated note, Iā€™m always saying that if I were more apt for science Iā€™d totally swap my psych minor for a major and go into research... if the atypical world was real I think Iā€™d LOVE to work in the AM researching the neurology and/or genetics of atypical biology... the fact that I think about these things is how we KNOW that I was raised by sci-fi nerds
When Wadsworth showed up and was immune I was like OH SHIT WE GOT A BADASS OVER HERE
Wadsworth and Helenā€™s friendship is very šŸ˜­ you know?
Joan calling Sam family meant... A Lotā„¢ļø
Samantha Barnes youā€™re doing great sweetie
This is off topic but do you ever think about that time in TBS when Sam said something I donā€™t remember but then Joan responded with a very scandalized ā€œSamantha!ā€ because I think about that a lot when I think about the two of them
I liked the parallelism of Owen being very ā€œsome of these people are locked up for a reasonā€ and then changing his views to lean a little more towards Joanā€™s perspective, and Joan being very ā€œgotta release them all like reverse PokĆ©monā€ and then Helen happened and her views shifted a little towards Owenā€™s šŸ˜­
Anyway 10/10 listening experience even though my luminary app is not quiteeee as user friendly as apple podcasts but hey artists gotta get paid. Gonna continue to be in denial about Owen until I have some happy romance to distract myself with when the Caleb/Adam book comes out
Arielle binges The AM Archives
Well, folks, now that season one has been uploaded in its entirety, Iā€™ve jumped on my Luminary free trial to listen to the AM Archives and Iā€™m through episode 7. Unsurprisingly, Iā€™ve got Too Many thoughts:
Owen! Fucking! Green! I adored him and his cheery, amoral self back in the bright sessions days and my love for him is only growing. Owen being a celebrity around the halls of the AM! Joanā€™s window mural story! The whole ā€œAgent Green, Agent Green?!ā€ bit ā€” heā€™s such a delight and heā€™s trying to make up for his mistakes and Iā€™m sure as hell one sucker for a redemption arc.
I literally gasped out loud when we were first introduced to Alice. Love love love all the name drops & connections to TBS characters. Alice is hilarious and after hearing about her indirectly from Caleb in TBS itā€™s wonderful to get to know her.
Also re: Alice, itā€™s interesting to think about the hereditary link in atypicals ā€” why is Caleb an empath and his sister someone with super strength? What makes someone develop one power over another? If Iā€™m not mistaken Chloeā€™s power was more closely related to her momā€™s than Caleb & Aliceā€™s are.
Iā€™m an Atlanta native so after hearing Jacksonā€™s stories from the Atlanta division of the AM, boy howdy am I glad this shit is fictional lmao
Sam and Joanā€™s friendship is such a pleasure. Itā€™s easier to see, distilled as it is in the AM work environment as compared to the TBS audio recording format. I love love love seeing how Sam has grown since the early TBS days and working alongside Joan (and Owen) is such a good fit.
When Sam was asked if she ever dated Joan, and then not long after was asked if she ever dated Chloe ā€” A) being very vocally affectionate about your platonic friends is a Mood and B) ok Samā€™s sexuality is a Very Interesting Thing. One of the things I was drawn to when I discovered TBS back in 2017 was the whole ā€œeverybodyā€™s queer!ā€ vibes ā€” Caleb & Adamā€™s romance, Chloe being ace, Mark being bi, the whole Damien/Mark fiasco, the potential crush that Joan once had for Wadsworth (idk if this is canon but itā€™s certainly my interpretation)... I really liked how it was done in a way that was both explicit and implicit, matter-of-fact but also fluid & subtle. Anyway what Iā€™m trying to say is I think itā€™s cool that even tho weā€™ve only known Sam to be romantically interested in one (1) person (a man who as far as we know is cis) itā€™s still relevant for both the audience and the characters not to assume sheā€™s straight. Also sets the stage for the future potential outcome of her & Markā€™s relationship imploding (much like the pyrokinetic)...
Which brings me to Mark. I have such protectiveness for him that definitely stems from TBS being very Joanā€™s-POV-centric in format. Heā€™s back and reckless as ever, isnā€™t that the saying? Iā€™m very disheartened by the fact that he very clearly didnā€™t want Joan to know he was back, and that fact that he REFUSED TO INFORM HER when he volunteered for a very dangerous experimental drug trial is just ridiculous. Like I get it, heā€™s been through some serious fucked up tramautic shit, and maybe this is his way of ā€œreclaimingā€ the act of being experimented on by the AM. He may not be the therapist in the family but come on, heā€™s got to know that these decisions are gonna bite him in the ass. You donā€™t just come back from being a band tour photographer, not tell your sister, do a very dangerous thing, and still not tell your sister. Thatā€™s no way to rebuild the broken trust between them. Anyway I care about Mark so much and I just need him to COMMUNICATE with his fucking sister & girlfriend (though of course I recognize that Joan & Sam HAVE awfully betrayed his trust before but thatā€™s not the point here)
Thatā€™s all I came to say, Iā€™m really fired up about Mark and Sam and Joan and Owen and I also really adore the new characters that werenā€™t in TBS. soon thereā€™ll be a part two to this once I get through the second half of the season and GOD I bet Iā€™m gonna find some of my thoughts here hilarious once Iā€™ve finished it
