#also penelope's outfit was so fucking good this episode

[mortalscience]

[for-ships-that-never-sail]

Okay Y'ALL I saw Episode 5 today and these are the thoughts I jotted down while watching it (PART 2 OF 2)

Please don’t read below the cut if you are avoiding spoilers until you get to watch it yourself 

And FYI some of these may not have any context, but I guess it won’t matter cause you’ll have context in 7ish hours anyway (also sorry about how long all my thoughts and feelings are lol)

Awh Kate you’re so pretty - kinda weird to see her so chill though - she was so stressed all of season 2 that seeing her so serene is throwing me off tbh - I am so happy for you though my love

Also her outfit that looks like a sari is soooo gorgeous I WANTTTT

Love the cinnamon biscuits vs fruit jellies bit

Portia ma'am please listen to Varley FFS

lol I hope they did in fact fuck again like she wanted

Ugly crying at MY MESSSSSS

PARIS? oufff I love how comfortable she is, just casual teasing chit chats with bestie

“Undefended”? Charlotte needs a different hobby pleaseeee

LOLLLLL when did Penelope learn to do her hair and makeup by herself???? Cause there’s no fucking way she would’ve looked THAT fucking good after alllll of that lol

We were going to be KNIGHTS!! OMG sweet babiessss

“as much as I do” I can’t even blame anyone for anything they’ve done or said so far tbh 

This is such nuanced writing — I understand exactly where pretty much everyone is coming from and that’s really nice tbh 

Omg they really do want Cressida to marry a dinosaur 

WTF Cressida you do you girl fuck shit up for Penelope I don’t even care do whatever you have to do and go all out and save yourself cause no one else will I’m so sorry you were ever put in this position  

We have been acting uncouth AS OF LATE??? as of late????!? Omggg Portia girl pleaseeeee you had ONE job and you’re just gonna pass the buck to your daughters instead? STAHP own up to your shit cause you knowwww they bully her because youuu bullied her and the gall to say this is just happening LATELY on top lmao 

Though like in her eyes I always do see remorse too - I think she just lacks courage to ever really own up to everything in full because she’s just so guarded 

Honestly this is such stellar acting 

And also like, Penelope, most of you is your mom my girl - your brains, your overthinking, your inability to just say Yuh I done fucked up my bad lol 

Greg’s hat

Yesssss lord Kent find you some Bridgerton besties 

I actually do love Portia - yeah she’s been a colossal dick of a mom to Pen but as complex women go, I get her - If she makes amends with Pen for them daily microaggressions and general abuse one day, for real for real, she’d be really great 

Omg Mama B and Lady D are such big shippers - wish they didn’t fully cut out the Lady D stuff from the books though le sigh 

Eloise has a point - I agree - she had lotsss of alone time to say it - I understand Pens fear completely, but she must realize that her saying this is still soooo much better than him having to find out on his own - and there is no way he wouldn't - and he’d be more hurt by that part than the actual LW part I think and honestly Eloise is right about her being involved in that painful deception too, I wouldn’t want my own brother to feel betrayed by me like that either, given how often he wished LW ill out loud - and the longer Pen stays quiet the more guilty Eloise becomes as a sister too - If anything her not immediately snitching makes her moreee team Pen than team Colin - this is still a lowkey loyalty to Pen for sure - I think I may have issued this same ultimatum under these conditions too

Omggg JOHNNNNNN stop he’s having a panic attack why did Fran put him on the spot like thissss????

“As you rightly mocked me last season” lolllll

Awh Colin and the toast 

Eloise should nottttt have done her second toast - now THAT part was uncalled for, but I guess they want to keep the stress levels high 

Lmao Kate to the rescue 

I loveeeee how close they are sitting in public - but like… does nooooo one else see this??? Hips glued together? Hands holding??? Just out in the open?? No one thinks this is insanely intimate for a newly engaged couple of the ton??? Even if it’s a love match? None of the older women are clocking this and saying 1. Sit the fuck apart 2. Did yall fuck already cause yall look like you fucked and we don’t even have a wedding date set yet??? Are you not going to even ask for a special license?? You just want her to pop a baby before she technically should and cause more drama?? Like who is in charge of all these fools?? Mama B what is you doing??? Do you not think Colin is being a nasty girl with his wife-to-be?? lol

Lol Anthony I love you, you competitive lil bitch 

Lmaooooo Eloise and Penelope being the smartest bitches of the ton YESSSS

Portia trying to show where Pen's brain comes from lol

Muddy boots panic again 

LMFAOOOOOOO Mama B your face is going a mile a minute right now listening to the muddy boots

"I saw straight away" OH MY FROHN you will end me one day

Pen get your shit together pls grab a brown paper bag or smthn 

Oooohhhhh fuck I get itttttt

Cressida girl my bad I get ittttttt sooooo much more - I didn’t fully understand her thought process behind what we already knew she was gonna do until just nowwww - they really set it up for her well - girl needed an exit and everyone fully offered her one - I have no issues with this at all tbh 

Omg omg this is the most chaotic midnight strike of all time like 6 different things happened at the same time???? 

Well that was some good old fashioned Bridgerton CHAOS Hope y'all enjoyed it too!!!! LESS THAN 8 HOURS TO GOOOOOOOOOO

[darcyfangirlsfrequently]

My rections to episode 8 of season 2 of Criminal Minds: Evolution

Spoilers under the cut, ofc!

oh i fucking knew the girl running was Jade

GS-1. Gold Star 1. So this guy knows shit.

That is the most fun music that has ever been in Criminal Minds

Luke going up the stairs, hearing Rossi and Jill fighting, and then immediately turning away has me CACKLING

Luke sitting on his OWN desk for once. If that man is one thing, it's a desk-sitter 😂

Getting my garvez crumbs where I can - they looked at each other first when everyone else was scattering off shoe show jill whatever they need

Penelope's heartbroken little "you?" when Jill said she leaked the paper

Also, Jill, babes, how is it that you do what you do, know what you know, and something in you thought that that was a good idea?

Tyler saying "yeah" and then everyone immediately being like "dude stfu no" kills me

PlacES? fuck.

Poor Rossi, man. I just want to give him a hug

NO Rebecca leave

Jade's "That's it?" is CHILLING

"I'll check in with Penelope" mmm the way he says her NAME

Tyler stop making me LIKE you so damn much when you're working with Tara/Rebecca

shiiiiiiiiit damien walked right past

Luke's hair is getting longer and he looks more like himself

"I love a geo-profile, so sexy!" I love her

Luke trying to limit the heart eyes around Emily

I love when Luke gets his moment to shine

Luke and Tyler's outfits remain to be almost the same shit, are they TRYING to make it clear how parallel/similar they are? bc it's working

I really like this Tara/Rebecca/Tyler dynamic

"Aw. Twinning! Very cute." Tara this is why I love you.

Rossi didn't go to the funeral???

Canon Jewish Gideon was not on my bingo card, but there ya go! (This wasn't established before now, was it?)

Her kissing him makes NO sense

Luke's little glance back and nod at Pen UGH my Garvez heart

You know... I am not entirely convinced that Garvez HAVEN'T been secretly dating since after 17.5

I love Penelope. I love her so much. She's so cute.

WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE JJ ALONE THERE, THAT CAN'T BE GOOD. Oh or maybe it's fine.

Aaaaand Damien got to Jill. Yay.

If Emily had a nickel for every time one of her employees told her they kissed someone involved in their case, she'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

Fuck yeah, Jill?????? Go off??????

the breath of relief i sighed when damien put his hands in the air... i really did not want them to kill him

Ohhh he told Jade to kill him.

that actually makes me really sad

This is actually so devastating, I never imagine i'd be so HEARTBROKEN for these people

Holy hell that was emotional. and SO good.

S17e10 (finale!) live reactions!

Spoilers…obviously

- AHHH this is it!! finally! here. we. go.

- yeah they better not hurt my kiddos thank you very much

-I’m telling you NOW. this is all about Elias. He’s the center of the conspiracy. that’s been my theory since e1. if he didn’t say anything about GS, none of this would have started

- of course, Emily’s kidnapped again. That HAS be in Paget’s contract or something

- where are JJ and Luke?? boyf and bff up to no good again

- what did Emily do?? what’s she being judged for?

- I KNEW IT. THEY WERE GONNA DO FLASHBACKS AGAIN

- tbh this has to be the least scary time that’s she’s been “abducted and interrogated” lol

- I KNEW IT. My “Emily abduction count” was 4

- this is the “dramatic and cry-y” outfit for Pen!!

- I think my theory is right!! if you have been reading my reaction posts every week you’ll know I have a theory about this season:

that the underlying conspiracy of the season being that they’re (BAU and the gold stars) doing everything Elias wants them to do - and it was all to get him out of jail and to screw over the BAU, and it all started with Bailey’s “gold star” in 16x10. especially because the only way they can resolve it is by confiding in voit. because he knows everything and how everyone really feels. and everyone’s priorities

- lol elias’ cell looks like a college dorm

- I KNEW IT I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE CONSPIRACY. - ELIAS. IS. THE. CENTER OF IT!!! I’m just so proud of myself

- OMG that’s not a spin I saw coming

- wait wait wait did I forget or did they JUST tell us about Emily’s sister

- aw man doug bailey’s such a good egg

- chaotic voit is so fucking funny

- also that’s a cool shot

- god doug bailey is *so* cute

- oh god - voit knew if bailey ended up on that wall, pete would fall into deeper into the conspiracy!! 🤯🤯

- BIT THROUGH HER TONGUE?

- how does emily end up being cool and such a bitch badass even when she’s in that much pain!??

- “Jenny?” ew

- “we can smell you later” HAHA

- haha I fucking love Tyler “thought experiment”

- “hey, Ty-Ty” “Lucas” I FUCKING LOVE CHAOTIC ELIAS

- oh my god Penelope, stay safe

- PEN PROTECTING TYLER!!! it actually threw him off, you could see his face, it’s the eye contact specifically that threw him off

- oh my god that’s horrifying

- this whole episode is the bau trying to throw Elias of and v/v

- oh god I forgot about emily

- is she about to say that she loved him? pls, I kinda liked them together

- also a lil inconsistency that bugs me; in 15x4, they said that you can never talk down a conspiracy theorist, a targeted individual - they just have to let them believe what they believe - so why is Em trying to convince them so hard, shouldn’t she profile them? idk

- wait I don’t get it, how does the board relate to the team coming?? wouldn’t they have booby trapped it either way? why does Luke dancing in a towel after his shower have anything to do with it??😂

- omg Luke

- OMG dave this is so smart

- Jade’s gonna do something isn’t she??

- I KNEW IT

- when is pen going to cry? im so unsure what kirsten’s insta post was about bc the ep is almost over

- “discretion is the better part of valor” - interesting

- wait are we getting profilers back?? now that she has more money

- Penelope’s house!!

- but also no more greencia pls

- pen and luke pls?? pls? pls. :(

- wuoh elias…

GREAT SEASON!!! but we deserved garvez

looking forward to 2026, when I can do these again :)

more to come as I reflect on the season, but thanks for sticking w me as I did these reactions!!

[lady-of-the-silver-lakeatron]

Bridgerton Season 3 Episode 4 Initial Reactions

At last I am done and I can live in peace!

He brought a plant for her to enjoy indoors! This is the way to introduce a partner to your interests!

No Portia do not meddle leave the poor people alone.

Lady Arnold really said boy I do not need you to be cute I need you in bed bahahah

They're training a cute Pomeranian tricks!

"With much practice anything is possible" has the same energy as "Through incredible amounts of violence anything is possible"

OMG the caller isnt the Lord Samadani but best boy John!! Not Eloise hiding!

Francesca looks ready to eat him up!!

He is an Earl y'all! He's above a Viscount but below a Marquess! Like damn!

This scene is giving "woman on first date feels like she could spend whole life in uncomfortable silence with this man".

All these yappers are so confused about how happy they are/ Let them simply vibe within their auras!

John you're so good mannered! Best boy right here.

Penelope's dress looks like a princess dress it has a purple mist of fabric 10/10.

Portia stop perpetuating these ideas. No wonder your kids didn't know how to have sex!

You cannot make me feel bad for Cressida, nooo, stop

Okay Debling is such a green flag he doesn't belittle her interests and makes them equal to his own!

Ooh flirting by proxy!

Colin being so confused and horny that he goes back to have sex about it rather than discuss it. What a healthy strategy.

The Kilmarten's being reserved sounds just like the right place for "I don't like attention" Fran

Fran really expressing herself here!

"No I am not interested in him" bb girl your skirts are on fire

This Eloise- Cressida meeting is giving forbidden lesbian romance.

Lord Cowper can leave out of a window.

Not the 19th century frat boy speak -.-

Colin doesn't kiss and tell, good boy.

Portia stop thinking of yourself for once!

I know Portia is self-centered but she is right that Security is very important. This is an era where upper class ladies are kept from even learning how to cook and do basic house chores so without husbands this is a hard life to have.

Colin Angst!

Violet having an honest discussion about Colin's people pleasing nature is A+ parenting.

Violet you minx telling him about Penelope's potential engagement. She said I want a ginger daughter in law.

Queen Charlotte's wig! Girly you are wearing litcheral art!

Violet is nervous for the drama!

Flirting with Lady Danbury's brother and getting the lore!

The widowers moment was so emotional and beautiful I’m glad she has someone to chat with.

Lady Danbury what past life is haunting you??

Omg the lighting, the location, the framing, the outfits. This Eloise-Cressida scene looks like a romantic scene. Give me a lesbian love story you cowards!!

Give us a rebellious Romeo-Juliet story here. It would be a nice reward.

RIP Cressida you are about to be infodumped.

They speak in silence swoon.

John! I told y'all he is best boy he got her gift engaged with Fran’s special interest.

Fran said I have found my husband why waste time here any longer byees.

"She is not drinking the lemonade" was delivered with so much concern lol.

These two are actually a fun seeming couple,  more of the Featherington couples!

Bad SexEd strikes again!

Colin: out of my way gay boys I'm about to get it!

He cut into the dance! The way everyone is watching this!

Debling is asking all of the right questions! He is speaking in fax I am so sorry Pen but marrying a man while pining for another is not right missy.

This was the politest break up.

Francesca looks so happy.

Carriage scene

I did not write much as the scene was quite captivating but damn' this was such a long episode how was it 2 hours long?

Also Local man finger fucks long time friend in carriage and decides they must be married at once.

Okay finally done editing these! Hope you enjoyed! I feel I must now re-read romancing Mr. Bridgerton while waiting for part II.

Nicola really gave such an amazing performance in the carriage scene because I could feel her apprehension, shock, fear, worry, excitement, and desperation the entire time. It was chefs kiss. Same to Luke hats off to him for giving some of the most memorable moments.

I think this episode tried to fix the Bridgerton issue where they have too many speaking scenes on after another like in the Season 2 finale so I am liking the pacing and such! I hope y'all have fun.

[pfhwrittes]

bridgerton posting under the cut and kept as vague as possible to avoid spoilers - do not spoil things in the replies or i will hunt you down with my makita drill.

season 3, part 1 - episode 1 thoughts below ⬇️

firstly, i'm not a huge fan of the way colin (played by luke newton) looks this season. yes, i loved his entrance outfit (and very much enjoyed the scene in the carriage with all the bridgerton boys) but i think it's such a shame that luke has clearly lost weight and/or muscled up for this season. there was a certain charm to his round cheeks and fluffy hair and i will miss them.

secondly, the kanthony girlies (gender neutral) are being FED in this episode. i already know my housemate is going to lose her mind. it's lovely to see that all of the passion between kate and anthony is still there, they are absolutely in love and i am overjoyed. also, i love how well they match each other. kate is such a sweetheart and simone ashley is stunningly beautiful. her micro expressions kill me.

thirdly, oh penelope sweetheart. i am just 💔💔💔 right now. when i find gifs of her make over outfit i am going to DIE. ugh! also girly, you did not learn your lesson from last season about writing when angry.

fourthly, is it weird to say that i'm glad that cressida has a bit of depth to her now? i know she's still rather unpleasant (to say the least) but i'm so glad eloise is smoothing some of those sharp edges.

finally, that last scene??? THAT LAST SCENE RRRAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! no one look at me!!! no one touch me!!!!! i am going to EXPLODE!!!! fuck this is going to be GOOD and i am riveted already.

[liege-of-the-bees]

Episode 13: The Crucible

M continues their gay little notes

PENELOPE TEACHER ERA

And ofc they're doing a red scare thing, surprised it hasn't happened sooner

Fellas, is it gay to admit you write poetry?

'If you're innocent you have nothing to worry about' KEVIN YOU'RE GAY.

Kevin the cop strikes again

Cheryl is a lavender menace

With the condition of Lesbianism

Cheryl. Talk with your friends. Tell them what's happening

HIRAM IS HIRAM FOREVER

Hiram should also have gay sex tbh

I get that Hiram is possibly trying to be a good person but not with that villain voice

OH THANK GOD CHERYL'S TELLING PEOPLE

EVELYN

Ngl I love her purple outfit

She's dyed her hair as well, this is her villain era

Archie's so stupid (affectionate), he's not gonna know people are manipulating manipulating him

Mr Fieldstone was such a dick for so long but this episode and last he's been just some quirky old dude?

Jughead's gonna get investigated for communism

Betty in her Gossip Girl era

WHEN I SAID ARCHIE'S POETRY THING WAS JUST HSM I DIDN'T REALISE FRANK IS JUST COACH BOLTON

Oh god Archie's gonna think Veronica's a spy no

Oh so the teacher was actually a communist

Jughead+Ethel dealer era

Choni and Clevin lavender marriage era 💜

This is not a Hiram redemption, I don't care what people are saying. He's just being manipulative and is desperate

Toni and Clay have such sibling energy tbh and I really wish that was explored more. Tbh I just wish Clay in general was explored more

John Proctor is an absolute dick. Don't emulate him.

Archie actor era?

Cheryl: 'ME, AND MY TOTALLY STRAIGHT BOYFRIEND'

But I'm a cheerleader reference? Cheryl?

DON'T CALL ARCHIE PROCTOR I HATE THAT

Also them kissing the episode after baiting Betty/Veronica? Bad.

OH FUCK GRUNDY

GET OUT

LEAVE

Even though she isn't grooming Archie, they're still framing it almost like she's the new girl in a High School drama

'It'll be our little secret' EW EW EW

Riverdale writers be like: 'She has a husband! She can't groom kids!'

Are they having all the police stuff take place in the High School because they've demolished the set or something?

Hermione is definitely also having an affair

I actually love Betty as an agony aunt

HERMIONE IS SUCH A MILF

NOT THE RIVERDALE META

It honestly fees like a slap in the face

'Only the first season was good' No the fuck it wasn't

DIPSY DOODLE US

And here's the book burning

[anonymouslylovesyou]

Season 2 episode 6 @whoblewboobear

Episode is named The Choice which mildly foreboding

No wonder Jack was into Cressida he enjoys "a woman who seizes control"

Colin has a hangover lol

Noo not Violet and Lady Danbury fighting

Benedict is giving little brother

Do not call Daphne selfish I'll kill you

I know for a fact this wedding doesn't go through so I'm nervous as hell

Oh my god I can fucking see Kate walking down the aisle even as a bridesmaid is actively changing this man's brain chemistry

Also can I say big F to Colin bc Benedict is the best man, he's not quite in with any of his siblings

BRO STOP LOOKONG AT KATE DURING YOUR WEDDING TO HER SISTER OR AT LEAST BE SUBTLE

This scks so bad they are embarrassing me are you serious

Oh no Edwinda is realizing

WE'VE GOT A RUNNER

Folks the door is open

God I was right to be nervous it went down extremely badly

Benedict pulling through on best man duties right now and Daphne is snitching to their mom

Anthony is bungling this conversation SHE CALLED HER SISTER A THRON AND REFUSES TO SAY HE LOVES HER(that part is good as saying otherwise would be a lie) bruh your ass is now coming out of this married

Jack is trying to pull the moves on Penelope's mom like a lot. Sir she's not slamming you down big style

Oh my god a wedding renewal for the royals??? This is how they save it

Edwinda came in clutch to talk down the king

The Penelope/Colin moments are starting to drop folks!

Fucked up for gloves to be on everybody all the time, my ass would be so touch starved

Bamboozled by Edwinda into meeting in the chapel!

Eloise do you have a crush on Theo be so real

Is it just the outfits or does almost nobody in this show have boobs, I'm not intending to look disrespectful but also

"Goodbye my lord" *makes out with him in the church we're anyone could see*

AND THE EPISODE ENDS THERES???

[ssa-inge]

CRIMINAL MINDS EVOLUTION SPOILERS

My opinion on our beloved characters so far

.

.

Jennifer Jareau

I'm really loving it that we get to see more of Jennifer and Will. Of course it's normal that they're having a few relationship problems because of their jobs and I love seeing them both trying to fix it but I'm having a problem with the end of 16x04. Like don't try to save their marriage by making Will sick. Also I love her to death, she's such a badass and I'm loving seeing her at her house.

Emily Prentiss

Good for her for getting that promotion but hello? Give us more insight on her life, is she single? Is she still with Andrew? (my guess not) one thing is for sure, she's such a boss lady and I'm loving her outfits so fara

Tara Lewis

Holy hell I'm so happy for her and Rebecca, yass girl get it!!! I hope we get to see more of them together :) I also do hope we see her roasting Luke again

Penelope Garcia

My god, maybe the one character that has evolved and grown. Look at her!! She's living her best life and being an absolute queen! But why did she and Luke only went on one date?? Stop teasing us like that and they better get together when they catch the unsub.

Luke Alvez

Honestly Garcia might be the only one who knows what he has been up to cause the CM writers don't for sure. At least give us an update on roxxie for God's sake. GIVE THIS MAN MORE DEVELOPMENT AND STORY.

David Rossi

Am I the only person who is actually pissed off that they killed of Krystall? He had been married three times and now he had finally found happiness with her. Okay yeah they are the age that is more likely to get covid and I get that he's mourning her but good god seeing him in that hotel and being grumpy to everyone just annoyed me.

General opinion

I'm sorry but hearing them all swear is funny as fuck to me :')

Also seeing them deliver a profile at the bureau was so nice, it's bringing back old vibes

I wish the episode were an hour long

Zach Gilford is doing a great job playing the unsub and I love that his wife is playing his wife on the show! I also love seeing that the unsub has like a normal life and we get to see it.

Am still pissed off he killed moose the dog :((

[damnhotmsimmons]

Episode 4-Pay-Per-View

Here are my thoughts watching episode 4 of cm evolution

caution: spoilers below

Poor Moose

So Elias is seeing visions? Who is that guy?

So the guy was the original owner of the kill kit? 

Please don’t tell me he just murdered the dog

So Tyler is a misguided vigilante wanting to avenge his sister Alison. Reminds me of the former vet guy in To Hell...and Back in s4 where he also wanted to avenge his sister. He thinks Sicarius (I assume he’s referring to Elias)

Emily deciding Garcia should talk to Green, which makes sense as she’s not a cop and Tyler is the reason Garcia is working with the BAU again

Random thought but I love how cute Garcia’s outfit is in this scene

That said, because Tyler is why she’s back in the BAU, I fear she will snap at him for forcing her to return when she was happier away from the BAU

Ugh, Tyler being a stubborn little asshole. I wonder if there’s a reason he doesn’t want to speak aside from the team ruining his plans. For a second, I thought Garcia was gonna go off at him like she did with Rossi in episode 1. Hmm, maybe later

aww, another willifer scene

Aww fuck, why did that guy interrupt their intimate moment

Insurance guy?

So Rossi has been sleeping in the BAU the whole night?

I don’t think Elias actually did that but it wouldn’t surprise me if he did try to set Green up if it means getting the authorities off his back

Miami, Florida, suddenly I’m having CSI Miami flashbacks 

I thought the couple were gonna be the victims but it turns the unsubs killed a stranger in their house instead

“Good morning, Penelope.” God, I love Luke. Kinda a bummer we didn’t see him before the credits

It’s nice to see Garcia in her old office again, but sad that she’s going through Tyler’s personal information including that of his sister 

Awww, it’s so sweet that Luke used to babysit Sergio, but poor guy, he’s allergic to cats. Another reason why he’s a dog person 

Garcia wants to help Tyler so that he’s able to help the team stop Sicarius

I love how Luke is supportive of the idea and stunned when Garcia joked about setting up a rumor that he’s difficult to work with

Emily is so done with Garvez and their bickering

so Garcia insists that Green does a cognitive interview to help him retrieve his memories. I love how Emily approves the idea and Luke insisting that Garcia gets the credit for her good ideas

Pissed off Garcia hits differently. She finally went off at Tyler for being very stubborn and does not hold back on her anger towards him for being drawn back into the FBI. Apparently, this is enough for Tyler to comply and do a cognitive interview

kinda love that Garcia is being more assertive in the revival

Aww, JJ feels safe with Will in their home, and Will saying how JJ is the protector of their home

These unsubs are literally fucked up, and I say this with most of the unsubs in the show who lack any sympathetic qualities and are just plain evil

Luke giving the cognitive interview to Tyler

The cinematography in this scene feels different 

Poor Tyler, he knew the guy and blames himself for Alison’s death. He feels responsible as he felt this wouldn’t have happened had he joined them for dinner

The subtle and silent acting between Kirsten, Paget and Adam after that scene *chef’s kiss*

Yea those guys should’ve called for backup

I love it when JJ and Tara team up for a takedown

this feels too soon, like the episode isn’t even close to the end and there’s a takedown so early

fuck, the unsubs escaped

oh my god, the first deliver the profile scene

oh shit, there’s a sleeping woman in the house the unsubs just broke into

Rossi, what happened to not giving the unsubs any notoriety? I thought you wanted to call them a “Fuckhead” not “Sicarius”. Sure it’s not professional but still

First time they caught an unsub, only to for them to have nothing to do with the network

So Tyler was able to preserve his conversations with Sicarius, and offers to help in any way, but tells Luke that he wants to leave Garcia out of this

Another Willifer scene.

Wait...Will might have cancer, are you fucking kidding me with this? Wasn’t killing Krystal off not enough for these guys? Poor JJ and Will, I just want to give them a hug 

overall, I find this episode better than episode 4, felt more like a standard unsub of the day like episode in previous seasons except the whole Tyler subplot made it feel less of a filler episode. I kinda wished we saw more of Tara and Luke (though I can understand why Luke’s screentime is limited since Adam directed this episode)

[shayveridekidd]

i wrote down my criminal minds s12 finale opinions as i watched it

- emily sacrificing her career YET AGAIN for reid AND making penelope leave so she can’t be held responsible. this woman >>>

- okay so plot twist they’re in love? i know we hate them and i absolutely despise what they’re doing to reid but a teeny tiny part of me has to root for the hot lesbians (or at least give them some credit)

- they did WHAT to reid??? i’m shuddering just thinking about it. and all that over that poor doctor’s dead body too?? what the fuck.

- jj having emily take her off speaker to tell her about what happened... i’m gonna cry. her bond with reid genuinely melts me into a puddle. those two are soulmates. i don’t know or care whether romantic or platonic (i kinda already has some s14 stuff spoiled for me but i try to keep my knowledge of it at a minimum) but they’re soulmates and i’ll die on that bridge.

- emily & jj are also soulmates (cue footage of them dropping everything to help eachother multiple times while away from the team & across the freaking world) but that really has nothing to do with this episode

- every single time i see jj with tears in her eyes i just wanna hug her and then hug reid because his sadness is what’s making jj sad but then also just cry myself

- REID CALLING JJ JENNIFER😭

- the little pre warning before jj streams spence dancing with cat to the team i’m sorry i know this isn’t the time but i cackled

- of fucking course it was that guard

- jane lynch being carried in a like a sack of potatoes. that’s the whole observation.

- i really don’t see lindsey as the suicidal type so i’m curious how this is gonna play out

- that little moment with all the girls (minus em because she’s obviously finding out bad news) with their arms around eachother warms my heart and it’s literally .3 seconds long

- MORGANNNNN

- his swat beard omg

- my subtitles interpreted derek’s “prentiss prentiss prentiss” as “princess princess princess” lol

- morgan garcia reunion bestiesssssss

- HIS OUTFIT OH MY GOD HE LOOKS *GOOD*

Riverdale S5 E13 (Coyote Ugly)- 5 Things I loved/ 3 Things to consider

I loved a LOT of things about this episode, so I might have to cheat on my loved-it count. Indulge me, please. 

Things I loved

1. I loved that Tabitha totally belongs and fits in with these crazy OG Riverdale people.  Tabitha asks Betty, the crazy girl, to not “do anything crazy,” while doing crazy things with Betty, herself.   Why Tabitha does this, we don’t know yet, but she absolutely belongs with these people.  For fancy-school-educated beautiful Tabitha, with her neat puff sleeves and delicate frame, to go all in with Betty Cooper, fake FBI agent, trying to hunt down a serial killer is insanity.  To agree to open up her business premises and offer up her own body as bait for this known serial killer is insanity. To be aware that Betty has caught someone who was acting violent, but to go alone, and also unarmed and apparently without having told anyone, is insanity.  Tabitha is very, very interesting.  Oh and she drives the most amazing car.

2. “Reggie, You’re A Genius!!” and Veronica is not being even a little bit sarcastic.  Reggie Mantle’s air punches every time either he or Veronica close a sale really just cheered me up no end. He’s just so exuberant and physical.  He’s already stated that he is good with numbers and he has a lot of ideas and he’s finally, at Pearls & Posh, getting a chance to let those parts of himself bloom. I loved the beautiful jewel tones that Reggie and Veronica wear throughout the episode, and the way they become ever more color coordinated.  I just love the two of them teaming up and dismantling Hiram’s scam one brick at a time.

3. All the Cheryl things, basically, I loved them. 

-“Compulsion Thy Name is Kevin of Finland” is a line that had me hooting.    And the fact that Kevin, in the right clothes, totally has the body and jawline to be a Tom of Finland illustration is just icing on the cake. Cheryl has been keeping a very close eye on Kevin his whole life, honestly, like a dangerous sort of fairy godmother. Cheryl in a checked version of her little red riding hood outfit walking out of the misty blue forest!  What a beautiful shot. 

- I did not love Tabitha having to say,  “Hot Ladies, dancing on the bar, fully clothed, of course,” but I *did* love Fang’s groaning in response, just so put upon. I did this simultaneously with the character, so I appreciated that.  I did love the glorious amount of cleavage that Cheryl the minister and cheerleading coach insists on putting on display while IN a high school.  Her sartorial choices felt like a vengeful commentary on the mores of American television.  I would much prefer to see tits on my TV than blood & violence, so the fact that an entire severed leg, a ghost of Christmas past with bullet wounds, and a man getting his face smashed in by a furious fit young man armed with brass knuckles can be shown in full but hot ladies dancing on a bar must be fully clothed irritated me. 

So yes - I said a whole bunch of words to fancy up the statement that I loved seeing Cheryl’s cleavage.

Sidebar: Also why does it gotta be only ladies?  I think Fangs was fishing for an invitation.

- “I caught them (Moose & Fangs) having wine & cheese” - “Ew that is diabolical.” OK so when you’re in that mindset where you want to ‘win’ the break up but you’ve lost, this sort of hyperbolic reaction is exactly what you want from your female friends, and Cheryl doubles down with, “You did nothing wrong.”   Why has Kevin never declared best friendship with Cheryl? 

4. I loved that  the show gives me permission to do what I’ve been doing already, which is that I absolutely despise Uncle Fucking Frank.  That asshole, who claims to understand battle trauma and love dogs, brings home a traumatized dog which deserves to have stable people look after it and be aware of its issues, and doesn’t tell his housemates who aren’t even getting basic mental healthcare, one of which is a nephew he is mooching from for room & board, about the dog’s potential problems.  Absolute failure garbage human, and I am elated to have this affirmed.  Everything Frank does makes Archie so much worse, and Archie does not trust Frank fully either.  Loved this too.  Archie lies to Uncle Fucking Frank about ‘Bingo.’ He was a dog, he says, and then says that Eric does not like to talk about the dog so Frank won’t go mentioning him to Eric.

5. I loved the musical numbers, each for a different reason.

- Coyote Ugly Bar Top Dance:  These terrifying, formerly terrorized children of Riverdale thrill me and break my heart.  Everyone just tosses themselves at danger.   Cheryl, Veronica, and Betty are all women who’ve had the experience of being hunted, terrorized, gaslit, stalked, sexually assaulted, having to fight for their lives while under attack from a much bigger assailant, etc  - just *all* the bad things, really - but with the promise of a good time (lyrics actually say: How Can I Resist?) they will make themselves live bait for a serial killer. 

- Everything Is All Right from Jesus Christ Superstar. I love Kevin’s singing, always.  I also adored Penelope Blossom hating the musical interlude, she’s great.  This song is also meant to be ironic, in the show, from my memory, because in context things are NOT all right. Mary Magdalene was wrong.  They’re showing Kevin and Fangs making up, they’re showing Veronica and Reggie making a sale, Jughead was not in this episode at all, so this was quite arresting from a show perspective.  The song is disquieting, with minor key elements, and so it’s a little uneasy, you know?  Things are not all right, at all. 

3 Things to Consider

a) “This award is a painful reminder of all that I haven’t accomplished.”  Kevin breaks my heart but not in a campy tingly way.  The feeling that I’m supposed to be somewhere better than this, doing something more than this - it’s so painful and real. I’m you, Kevin.  “This can’t be my life, it just can’t be.”  This seems to be the theme of the post time-jump Riverdale, but it feels more visceral because of what’s happening in the real world on the date of airing (Fall of 2021).

b) Bingo being a person, not a dog, puts an entirely different and devastating cast over the dream-dialogue between Eric and Archie.  According to Archie’s subconscious, Eric is basically saying, “Leave the other man for dead, and save me and only me.”  In the football field dream,  Eric was transformed into Jughead, who just needed a little help, and had to be fireman-carried to touchdown.  Eric insisting that he be prioritized over the unfortunate Bingo goes some ways to explaining the bond between Eric and Archie as well. 

c) Archie Andrews is terrifying, and this adult Archie is fascinating and arresting to me. “I don’t want this scumbag arrested! I want him hurt” is the most honest thing Archie has ever said on the show.  And when he says, “I’m trying to save this town, but it’s so corrupt,  broken, full of awful, despicable people.  I think there’s nothing worth saving here,”  Archie is very reminiscent of the Dark Hood/ Hal Cooper, actually.  Archie scares the worthless Uncle Fucking Frank so much that U.F. Frank can’t even say, “Nobody asked you to save the world, Archie, just save yourself.”

Riverdale S5 Ep16 Thoughts *Spoilers*

Thoughts under cut to keep tag clean!

- Archie feeling guilty about his platoon :(

- “Considering you always screw things up…” GO OFF QUEEN!

- Oh thank you for stopping the random musical number but still fuck you Penelope. ‘A young man of few words’ the writers coming after themselves wow

- Jughead 🥺🥺 but what was the point of that scene with Alice (though I’m glad to see her) like—they could’ve just waited for Betty to be available…

- Jughead apologizing to Principal Weatherbee for his apology tour

- Hermosa and Reggie ew but also Veronica’s reaction is priceless. "What KIND of thing?"But it’s sad yet telling that she had more reaction to Reggie x Hermosa than Barcheating. Fuck these writers smh

- I mean Penelope should be in jail but we’re gonna skirt over that huh… but anyways lets upstage her for the millionth time

- THE ANIMOSITY IN VERONICA’S VOICE ASDFGHJKL;

- God poor Archie…

- “I don’t think it’s a war you can win.” “Maybe not, but it’s a war worth fighting.” YES ARCHIE GO TAKE DOWN GENERAL TAYLOR!

- Hiram being dumb enough to not change his locks after his previous co-worker (?) goes to work with his daughter/rival

- OMG CHERONICA?! FUCK. bugdead really helping everyone actually get screen time together we love to see it! fuck bhva <3

- Jughead wearing purple, Jeronica’s color muah

- Jabitha in Pop’s <3

- Betty sabotaging Jughead in whatever way possible without even truly meaning to r.i.p.

- I hate this ministry cult church bs plot but Cheryl’s outfit is *chef’s kiss*

- Archie being Archie and doing the good thing by asking him to step down, hoping/believing that he would be as good as him and step down :(

- … He’s still a solider who WENT TO WAR? Saw awful shit? The army is not some elite group you freak

- Better opening wounds than to let some asshole gets away with murdering many men and therefore CREATING those open wounds...

- Jughead don’t use her novels… don’t do it… I know you will and that you’ll end up not going through with it but PLEASE

- God seeing the boy in the hallway all messed up is amazing cinematography, but feels kind of out of place for Riverdale. They can only write and shoot well when it’s a character and plot focused episode instead of an insane all over the place episode

- LMAO VERONICA SAID FUCK YOU HIRAM AS SHE SHOULD HAVE! Not Hiram calling Veronica petty…??? He’s the petty child, aka a little bitch as Josie puts it.

- Of COURSE Nana Rose was a beekeeper…

- That coptercab thing sounds like an awful idea asdfghjkl;

- Veronica finally getting rid of Chad from her life as she should!

- Jughead drinking alcohol :( He was clean for a week my poor baby, but it’s so hard to kick… hopefully the writers actually allow him to grow and get better

- I know bh don’t have sex or anythning but this music is so… suggestive?? Why make it sound like they’re gonna get together again stop babying the Bughead’s after all they’ve done to everyone and this show??? Let them whine and cry

- The guilt Eric must feel for doing that FUCK “let me bring this home for you, it would be my honor” stop this is so 🥺😭

- Penelope decides to stop them after they’ve done two “miracles”??? okay… lol

- WHOREMONGER AND ESCAPED CONVICT if you want her gone just send her back?? QUEEN OF TTHE BEES BROOOO her making her mother flinch damnnnn

- ERIC GOING WITH ARCHIE AWW what a G though

- VERONICA IN PINK MUAH! “If you’re gonna bee a big boy, you gotta party like a big boy.”

- “You’ve impressed me, Chad.” ew over an awful idea fajsdlfahsf okay

- “probably not, Jughead, but-“ the way they’re speaking is so awkward

- Why does Jughead have to apologize for the voicemail when he said nothing wrong?? Sure it was a bit much and toxic but he was RIGHT why can’t people call out Betty?

- “I’m in recovery”Jughead says, drinking alcohol...

- Betty’s not gonna apologize for cheating huh… oh yeah lets also bring up the fact that you stole Yale from Jughead.

- Betty’s more comfortable with serial killers than being a normal person… yeah we know Betty

- Betty choosing a serial killer over Jughead BUGDEAD!

- Jughead she’s never taken accountability, she’s not going to stop

- Jughead admitting it wasn’t his novel. Good for him, even though he’s gonna lose his career :(

- BETTY JUST LEAVING LMAO OKAY—

- “my boysenberry is blowing up!” asdfghjkl; Veronica sabotaging Chad MUAH WE STAN! YOU’LL NEVER BE AN ALPHA, CHAD, YOU’RE A BORN BETA.

- So now everyone knows that Chad crashed the helicopter and nothing’s gonna happen bc of it huh

- JABITHA GOT A POP’S HANDHOLD OH MY GODDDD

- “Why are you so nice to me?” Jughead never being able to tell when anyone (aka Tabitha and Veronica) is into him what a babie

- It’s so telling that Betty sees Jughead drinking and says absolutely nothing and only talks about what’s going on with her, but Tabitha immediately makes sure that he’s going to continue going to AA and get better. Jabitha eating Bughead up (which isn’t hard to do considering Bughead was never anything good)

- THEY TOOK GENERAL TAYLOR DOWN!! And Eric isn’t in trouble 🥺🥺

- Tabitha going to help Betty muah we love one of the best girls in Riverdale!

- Not Cheryl thinking she’s a witch… like sure I’ve thought of this for a CAOS/Riverdale crossover but—

- “I’ve got this bad feeling about what happens next.” me after every episode of Riverdale bc of thee dumb ass plots

- When the two miners are Archie and Eric and we get Betty digging him out despite how dangerous it is!

- “If Archie dies, you die.” We stan Veronica Lodge <3

[samuel-de-champagne-problems]

I'm doing them all 5 at a time, feel free to share your opinions

Which type of cereal is their favorite?

Something excessively sweet but redeemable healthy, like frosted flakes. Sugary, but almost corn flakes.

What outfit do they wear when they need to feel confident?

Mmmmm some complimentary pants and a purple or green button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow

Describe their dream date

Go to bookstore, find books for the other person in various categories (eg a romance, a non fiction, a science fiction, etc.), present them at a picnic

What is their bath or shower routine?

Mmmm at first he used fucking 3 in 1 but then Penny g found out and he still uses the same products she recommended. He did some research and washes his hair every other day, sometimes every third day, and he goes to her with any questions about good haircuts or styles. He used a loofah in the bath and eventually gets confident enough in his loofah to use it in the shower as well. Baths are for relaxing or depression days when he feels like he doesn't want to shower even though he knows he should.

What is their love language?

Touch and quality time (I think those are right?? Idk much about this one)

ahhh it's long one friends...

1. Which type of cereal is their favorite?

Yes, he'd love something excessively sugary. I think he'd be a no-milk cereal kind of guy. Just munching on a box of cereal as a snack in the middle of their workspace with gory pictures surrounding them?? Peak SpencerCore!

2. What outfit do they wear when they need to feel confident?

So this would be so hard for him, because he would feel like everything fits him so awkwardly. But I think he'd pay attention to color theory or the science behind confidence and choose something that compliments that. Like you said, rolling the sleeves up to his elbows?? YES SPENCER <3 He'd feel really good in something that fits him, which I think is cannonical because post episode one, season one, his clothes fit so much better. So I think he'd like something like a lavender button up shirt with soft corduroy pants in a dark gray and a cardigan in a complimenting color. He'd wear his Converse for a touch of familiarity and a mismatching socks for luck.

3. Describe their dream date

Spencer's dream date would be either him show is partner things he likes or them showing him things they'd like. Like you said, he'd love a bookstore date. He'd love to pick out a book for you and you one for him. Imagine a museum date?? So fucking cute. Oh, and a star-gazing date. I love the stars and I'd love to show him all the constellations, but imagine him playing dumb and pretending to not know the stories and myths behind them so you can explain them. Like he'd bring a blanket to lay down on and he'd let you use his chest as a pillow or you'd let him lay his head in your lap as you both look up. And then you hands would slowly gravitate to his hair and end up brushing you hands through his pretty hair. Honestly, all the intelligence would be sucked out of his head when you thread you fingers through his hair-- he doesn't even have to play dumb. He'd fall asleep, at peace, safe and loved. And dreaming of a second date.

4. What is their bath or shower routine?

DUDE!! We said similar things when I did @reidslibrarybook ask :) but yes, Penelope turns him on to the good shit. Like Spencer was on his own at such a young age, so he'd be so clueless when it comes to maintain self-care. He's a night showerer, but would use a morning shower for a quick wake up. He also would have a fantastic skin care routine that he needs to drop because it's probably ethical and unscented and I need that crap for my dry skin.

5. What is their love language?

I think Spencer's love language is touch, even though he's so skeptical of it. Personally, he's a little hesitant to let himself be loved because in his past love has always had an expiration date or came at a price. His dad leaving really messed him up and makes him scared at the next person he loves leaving. So he holds himself out at arms length because from there he can't be hurt. But as he grows in a relationship he learns that true love doesn't have an end date. It's still good and fresh and wonderful no matter how long you've had it. Once he learns this, he never wants to be without touching you. Whether it's in the car over the console, in the kitchen with his hands ghosting your waist or on the couch when you are practically laying on top of each other, he loves it and craves it. After being touch starved so for so long he feels like he's playing catch up and you're more than happy to oblige.

[blonde-toddy]

Random and Not So Random thoughts while watching Bridgerton: Season 1, Episode 4

Oh they're at court.

Also she's not a commoner. She's the daughter of a Viscount.

Another Daphne brag moment, but homegirl really got the juice. She's bagging mfs over hand holding and dancing.

Violet dgaf. She's hungry now, damn it!

Oh he's buying jewelry already.

Ooooooh the way she imagines the Duke behind her. Honey yes. That scene was hot.

Too bad she came back to reality.

Hyacinth is my spirit animal.

Lady Whistledown ain't ready to write Simon off yet. She's waiting on the Dukes Hail Mary.

Shit. So am I.

I have never seen someone look so depressed in such an exquisite piece of jewelry. It's like the necklace chokes her. Testament to the acting and script for that though. It truly represents a trap.

Awww Simon is wearing that heavy bag out. I would say poor Simon, but he made this damn bed.

I love Alice and Will. They are the kind of wholesome love I need to keep my heart steady watching this damn show. She's his rider and I love it.

Alice roasting Simon over Daphne. Get. Yo. Girl. Mane.

I always cringe when a man tells a woman to smile.

Poor Marina. Portia is determined to find her the oldest mf. She's playing smart though.

Those damn dingbat sisters.

Maybe Penelope does care.

Well at least the least mean sister got a caller. They're awkward/cute.

Eloise girl, I love feathers in hair. Your one dimensional preaching is wearing me out again.

A boxing match date? I'd be down.

The prince legit seems like a nice guy. And Daphne is trying....but she's CLEARLY hung up on Simon.

Oh look Simon's losing focus on his friend because he's too focused on Daphne and the prince.

Ok mf! Take that shit off and roll them sleeves up. It turns me on too sis!

Oh look at the sweet family talk with the prince. Girl he'd give you any and everything you wanted.

But you and the Duke are just ATE TF UP about each other!

Mondrich for the win!!!!

Oh Benny. You've got a new friend. But what kind of friend? Give me more of this.

Well Anthony is smug and pleased as punch. Simons courtship of Daphne has ended. She has her perfect suitor. And Simon is leaving England to go rake and fuckboy about.

Though Simons hard slammed shot when the prince approached says he's anything but happy.

Violet always worries about the wrong shit.

Hyacinth always wants to know the good shit.

Be Hyacinth.

Oh fuck the prince is ready to propose. That shit escalated quickly.

SIMON!!!!!! Now would be a good time for that Hail Mary.

Good job Anthony. Way to realize that the women in your life have agency over THEMSELVES.

Violet always beating around the damn bush.....but she is still 100% #teamduke

Aw Daphne you're gonna break down snitching on yourself.

If it wasn't real with Simon you wouldn't be so ate up about it, and you would be rocking tf out of that necklace from the prince instead of crying.

There's a reason for the black in her outfit. For Daphne, who is normally all pastel blues, that black is her mourning. It's her 'attempting' to put to death her feelings for the Duke. And also I think mourning the loss if the bond they shared. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. But this seems like a very deliberate show with it's details.

Danbury ripping Simon open before she sends him off. Big energy.

She knows everything you thick headed mf. Why won't you just listen?! You letting your rank ass daddy live rent free in your soul.

He's so jaded it hurts.

Ayyyye this Trowbridge party looks like the real deal.

Oh gawd. Marina and the old man.

Mr. Finch and the cheese frock. Jesus who wrote this. I love it

Cressida you have been Daphnes biggest hater all season and now you're mad that she's with the prince. He was never gonna marry yo basket headed ass anyway.

Oooooh shit Simon sees the 'intimate painting' and has 2nd thoughts.

Go. Get. Yo. Girl.......Bitch.

Ooooh Benny's at the new homies spot and it's lit!

Naked models, easels, mingling between the classes. Yes indeed.

2nd sons having fun. Hell yes.

Damn Even Sienna at the ball...as a performer of course.

And Anthony looking tongue tied.

Violet....you need to chill. There take another sip.

Portia trying to shade Lady Trowbridges style is comical. Both of y'all bitches gaudy as hell.

Oh shit Phillipa lost her man.

Wtf is wrong with Lord Featherington?

And wtf are you doing Eloise?

Ayyye she just let her have it. You think servants have the time to be Lady Whistledown? I'm dead.

"Get out."

Ok Penelope with your saucy ass.

Well fuck! You just pushed him right to Marina. You played yourself boo.

Oooh the prince is about to shoot the big shot and Daphne keeps running away.

She done spotted Simon. Its over.

Fuck off Cressida.

Rip that mf necklace off girl.

Simon followed her ass outside.

"Miss Bridgerton." Motherfucker, call her Daphne.

"I came to say goodbye." Man. Go to hell.

Daphne serving those barbs. You not ready to keep playing with her.

Damn, Simon. If you're not gonna give her what she wants, get out the way.

Tell his ass sis.....even if you don't believe it yourself.

Really Simon? You stand there quiet as a mf church mouse whiles she's pleading with you to say something.....then you take off after her once she walks away from your shit

I swear.....men.....yall mfs really do shit like this. Speak up! Or...LET. ME. GO.

She's really cracking on his ass and I'm here for it....but wtf us up with his "I forbid you." Who tf are you to me? I'm glad she ain't playing with his ass.

Ooooh he called her Daphne and grabbed her.

Oh honey this is what fulfillment feels like, isn't it?

He's definitely fulFILLing her all the way up!

Oh shit Anthony caught them.

At least he finally landed some decent blows on Simon.

This RAKE ass mf still won't marry her.

Oh Simon.....for once.....Anthony is in the right and you the wrong. You are really about to die over your fucking daddy issues. Boy bye. Again.

Poor Daphne.

Wait, how did Cressida know she was in the garden?

That can't be good.

At least Benny is having a good time.

Dearest Portia, when you go looking for shit, it usually falls in your lap.

Marina keeps carrying on about Colin and Penelope is crushed.....or scheming....or both.

Aww Penelope let her hurt feelings cause a fight with her bestie. Her jealousy is seething.

Daphne still out here having to educate Anthony....though I get the need for the duel. And he still thinks he's running something.

Ooooh this is why they brought up 2nd sons.....Anthony is prepping Benny to take over. Well Benny, at least you had one good night out.

Colin caring for drunk Violet is parenting goals one day.

Oh great, now yall wanna bring Colin into the shit.

Simon raiding Wills spot for booze was so uneccesarily loud.

So Berbrooke alludes to her dishonor and Simon caves his fucking head in. Simon legit dishonors her and he's just like ,"Kay, guess I'll go get shot now." Someone get this man some therapy.

Oh great Anthony is back at Siennas door with more of his bullshit. Girl. Close that door.

No, not after you've let him in and climbed his torso. I guess y'all fuckin again.

He lost all the money and now he's fucked up.

Her face while he cried, is literally the face of every woman sick of a mediocre man's shit.

Oooh now they're all riding off into battle like the fucking idiots they are.

Colin is so pure.

I knew that Cressida shit would come back.

Well at least Anthony was willing to care for Sienna in his death....but damn mf, treat me right while WE'RE here.

Oh the dramatics of drawing a gun.

Nobody is here for Simon's weak ass apologies and I'm okay with that.

Hurry hurry Daphne.

Daphne down....but she's alright.

Call them idiots just like they are.

Simon still being a hoe about this shit. You really about let her be ostracized because you're a fuck boy.

Ultimate fuck boy line...I can't be with you because I love you too much. Fucking hell.

They do obviously love each other though.

Hold up.......you CAN NEVER, or WILL NEVER give her children. Don't play this like you have a reproductive issue.

So your reason for not marrying her is that you "can never" give her children and you know that's what her heart desires.

You playing with fire, Simon.

I wonder how much shit I let slide with his character just because he's portrayed so well by the phenomenal Regé-Jean Page.

No, I do love Simon's damaged ass. He just makes me so mad.

So the duel resumes......or not.

Daphne said, "Fuck them kids, give me my husband." Or something like that.

Well. This us an uncomfortable arrangement even though both of these idiots are in love.

Simon's evasion will most certainly come back to bite him in the ass.

But I'll be here with my popcorn and tissue, rooting for these cool kids to make it!
