surprisingly positive reception to the whole au thing
so! basic premises for two of the aus i’d like to talk about in more detail some time
anomaly ford - (post-weirdmaggedon) as a result of anomalous rain (came in through the multiverse) ford ends up stuck together with an anomaly. stan and fiddleford go to the folks in the forest for help and manage to successfully get him unstuck! except now he has carried over traits from the anomaly. this au focuses more on stan (and fiddleford, when it applies) helping ford figure out how to exist now than the actual cause of the issue. goal is for ford to be able to start sailing with stan and nothing go too terribly wrong
the only name i have for this second au is ‘gravity what now’ - (researcher ford era..?) mystery trio except everything is terrible and ford’s starting to feel like the universe is targeting him specifically. this au is more so a collection of events that occur within that dimension than a proper storyline (though there is a slight timeline). featuring stan and fiddleford getting along for once and ford screaming in the background
#i did ask that specifically because i wanted to bring these up but y’know. that’s besides the point#if you’re wondering why they’re both ford-centric you should know better by now#although i do have some more stan-centric ones. i should probably do something with those sometime

Summer 2017 Anime: Final Impressions
My excuse for this being so late is that I was waiting for The Reflection to end, but also school is kicking my ass and depriving me of my will to live lol. The summer was a mysterious season, with shows I was very hyped about turning out to be a disappointment, whereas shows I expected to be utter trash ended being quite entertaining, and even a sequel I thought was bullet proof self-destructed in the end. So let’s get down to business to defeat the huns (I just watched Mulan yesterday, I can’t help myself I love that movie too much, I swear I won’t do it again... too soon)
1. Boku no Hero Academia 2: Season one of HeroAca was an entertaining and very well executed example of why the Shonen Jump formula still works. Season two is absolutely fantastic in every possible way. The pacing was good, the animation was excellent (praiseth be BONES) and this second part of the story did an outstanding job in fleshing out its extended ensemble cast, something many shonen manga fail to do. It also has the balls to question its own idealized hero society and even bring in some complex topics regarding radicalization. It’s just an overall really good show with an extremely lovable cast, and I can’t wait for season 3. Easily takes the gold for this season.
2. Fate/Apocrypha: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Fate might be my favorite new show this season. It’s not without its deficiencies –Jeanne pretty much does nothing but run around and be Shocked and Confused, Palurdo-kun is a boring potato, we don’t really feel like we know any of the characters- but it’s definitely better written and less pretentious than UBW and although the characters are shallowly written, they’re pretty likable and share interesting dynamics. Heck, in the latest episode (I wrote this like two weeks ago oops) I even felt bad for Vlad Tepes of all people. Also Astolfo and Mordred are too excellent to exist.
3. Made in Abyss: This one was a lot of folks’ fave anime of the season, and it is indeed a very unique and marvelous production in many different senses. It has an original main idea, with imaginative creatures and landscapes, lovable characters with interesting dynamics and very well placed twists and turns to keep the audience engaged. It meanders quite a bit in the middle, and I couldn’t help wonder what purpose exactly Ozen’s training served when Reg and Riko were proved to be hugely unprepared to face the deeper layers of the Abyss, but the final few chapters were superb in every way. I do however have to take points off it because of how it casually throws around the idea of extreme physical punishment for children and the mangaka’s gross pedo omorashi fetish. I’ve heard it was severely toned down for the anime and it was still uncomfortable to watch, I distinctly remember at least three different scenes about Riko peeing herself. It was unfortunately recurring and notorious enough to damage my impression of the show permanently, but it’s still a highlight in an otherwise dry season.
4. Kakegurui: I didn’t have a lot of expectations for this show, but it turned out to be pretty neat trashy entertainment. The whole ahegao aesthetic wasn’t much my thing, but other than that it was a lot of fun, Yumeko was a unique and interesting protagonist, and her wildcard personality made the results of the bets not necessarily predictable. I’ll say the final episode, which was an anime original, was quite a disappointment because it basically achieved nothing in terms of plot or character development –except maybe for Suzui. You could tell they rushed through some plot elements and struggled with the pacing overall, and I’d say the episode with the girl with the gun fetish was kind of a waste, not because of the icky concept itself, but because the bet was pretty boring and kind of achieved nothing. Otherwise it was pretty fun and Sayokan’s opening was A+++
5. Katsugeki Touken Ranbu: Well I actually finished this one, as opposed to Hanamaru, so that’s already a small victory. It still wasn’t the show I wanted it to be and specially the faceless, aimless quality of the villains makes it pretty much impossible to get invested in the plot, but I really liked the direction they took in the last few episodes. Episodes 9 and 10 were specially brilliant. I think Horikawa’s defection could’ve been handled in a much more interesting way, but of course since all of the characters are meant to be sold as merchandise, there were things they weren’t ever gonna do, so I’ll take what I can get. Hopefully other Tourabu projects will follow along the same vein and explore the different swords in regards to their relationships with their former masters, hopefully adding more shades of gray to those dynamics. east three
6. Shoukoku no Altair: It had a slow start, but the show really picked up steam with the conflict over the Sultanlus and Mahmut orchestrating a coup. I still think the show loses potential by making the German Empire so unequivocally evil; a more daring writer would’ve made out a more nuanced conflict in which Torqye’s obsession with controlling the four sultanlus could be as manipulative and imperialistic as the Empire’s own ambitions. Still, it was a unique portrayal of a political conflict that was resolved quite creatively and in a very exciting and satisfying manner in spite of there not being a lot of action. I was definitely hyped seeing the four new sultans gathered together at the end before departing to their respective lands.
7. Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul: I find myself quite conflicted about what to do with Virgin Soul. I loved most of the show. It had some hiccups here and there, but overall, it had been one of my favorite series of the season –and potentially the year- Until the last three episodes. Since Mugaro’s murder, the series took a nosedive and it just never recovered. Though it might be more accurate to say that the problems the writing had been dragging along became unavoidable and, predictably, they were incapable of resolving them properly. Especially regarding Charioce. There almost seems to be a disconnect between the first and second halves, because the second half completely sweeps under the rug most of Charioce’s evil deeds. His motivations were awfully predictable and were insufficient to explain all the tyrannical shit he did in the first half. In light of how everything ended, Jean and Nina’s trip to the land of the gods turned out to be completely inconsequential. Even Mugaro’s death was completely meaningless. I assume it was meant to be a catalyst to send the Gods and Demons to fight the Humans, but then that confrontation didn’t come to real fruition because of the last minute Bahamut plot. And what was the biggest slap to us all was the final reveal that “Bahamut isn’t dead after all”. So the status quo is completely restored and the entire show was pointless. It’s frustrating because I can almost touch the threads of a great story ��Nina and Charioce’s final dance would’ve been beautiful if they had earned it-, but in the end it’s reduced to a disappointing pile of missed potential.
8. Isekai Shokudo: Definitely meandered for at least one third (maybe even half) of its run, overdoing it with the over glorification of the most boring foods imaginable (no matter how much glossy effects and sparkles you put on it, there is no way to make natto on rice look luxurious and appetizing), but it was still a fairly pleasant show to watch, and the final episode had a few reveals that neatly wrapped up a few “plot points”, particularly the reveal of the chef’s ancestry and how that connects to the otherworldly visitants. I think it could’ve been a lot better, but I’m also not horrified by what it ended up being, which I consider a victory this season (looks at my top 3 from the pre-season anticipation post and weeps)
9. The Reflection: What a weird show. I have very mixed but not very strong feelings about it. The first episode was really bad, but it developed a few interesting ideas along the way. I think the crux of it though, was that it had more potential than the writers could develop in 12 episodes. My biggest disappointment is that Stan Lee wasn’t the final villain and in fact, his character didn’t really do a lot. Though I guess that could be applied to most of the characters, specially the villains. The final confrontation reeked of X-Men ripoff. Incidentally, I-Guy’s story and how that came to a climax at the finale was probably the strongest part of the show. I think it’s worth a watch, if only for how weird it is, even if it is ultimately a shrug overall. The ending –as in, the literal final scene- was terrible though. They should know this is never getting a sequel unless Stan Lee funds it with his own pocket money, so that ending makes noooo sense.
10. Centaur no Nayami: What a weird show. Why do we have so many weird shows this season. I was unsure about whether to put this one above or underneath The Reflection, Although in overall enjoyment, I liked this one more I gave it minus points because of all the icky fetishy stuff (is it too late to make another Miyazaki joke?). Also I needed more snake-girl centric episodes. Snake girl was too good, she was the best girl of the season and I will fight you about it. Idek what to say about this because it was so weird, which was good at times, and bad very bad at other times. Definitely not what I expected.
11. Re:Creators: I’ve already kind of talked passingly about this show’s multitude of problems so I won’t go too deep into it here. I think the show itself kind of plays itself with this final dialogue. Supposedly, director Ei Aoki said this was supposed to symbolize “how sometimes even if you try your hardest you still fail”, but that doesn’t excuse 20 episodes of floundering around with characters that got stunted development arcs, often resolved with the power of convenience, and that served no real purpose to the plot. Except for Magane who was a plot convenience walking, to the point she goes off scott free after literally murdering half a dozen people, but I guess it’s fine because she helped Sota to solve his manpain in the end. It really is a shame because the concept itself was fascinating, but the execution made it just a giant masturbatory “aren’t we anime makers the greatest” fest it just didn’t manage to be as cool as it believed itself to be.
12. Hitorijime my Hero: I guess it wasn’t worse than Super Lovers and that’s about the best kind of praise I can offer this show. Even if you look past the extremely questionable aspect of both relationships (idek which is worse, the teacher that wants to fuck his student or the guy that blackmails the other guy to have sex with him. At least neither is worse than the guy that grooms his own little brother?????) the show just isn’t good. It treads familiar melodrama plot points, but they’re executed so mechanically they fail to make any impact. What little drama there is, it’s terribly forced, which in tail causes the resolutions to be flat and anticlimactic. The production values are also butt, most of the time the characters look like they have balloon heads. Will we ever get the adaptation of an actually good BL manga that we deserve? Will I die before there is a Honto Yajuu anime?
13. Welcome to the Ballroom: Sigh, what is left to be said about Welcome to the Ballroom? I think calling it the biggest disappointment of the season would be an understatement. Although the introduction of Chinatsu has made the gender dynamics slightly more tolerable, it’s still too little to truly throw a wrench in a show that has systematically treated every woman in its cast like second-class citizens. I’ll keep watching the second half, and at least there seems to be an intent to occasionally use actual dance music –not that the sound editing does anything to favor that music, and the latest episode had more silence than music, but it’s a step-. I’d love it if Chinatsu and Tatara turned into a revolutionary, unique pair, with the woman playing the role of the leader. Now that would be the fix this show needs. Alas, I’m pretty sure that’s not going to happen, and that their relationship arc will be about Tatara learning to be a proper leader and Chinatsu a proper follower, so teasing us with Chinatsu’s leading proficiencies seems borderline cruel. We get it show, you hate women. Can you at least show me any actual animated dancing before the 24 episodes are over?
14. Vatican Miracle Examiner: This show is such a bizarre, surreal watch because it makes not a single ounce of sense whilst taking itself insanely seriously. It’s one of the many weird, confusing shows this season, but it’s probably the one that’s less self-aware. Although Ballroom is way more unpleasant and a way bigger disappointment, at least it has a coherent story (a terrible one, but coherent) and an attempt at good production values. Vatican Miracle Examiner doesn’t have any of those. But hey, it has a serial killer Santa Claus, rainbow cocaine Jesus and criogenized Adolf Hitler sperm, so who’s the real winner here?
I think I’ve checked out all the shows I intended to check out for the fall season but there are a few that I’m still undecided about, so I’ll give them a week or so beore I make my somewhat definitive watchlist

Shadowhunters Season 2 Episode 17 and 18 -- A Dark Reflection and Awake, Arise, Or Be Forever Fallen
Alright, so this is going to be a joint review of Shadowhunters Season 2 Episodes 17 and 18: A Dark Reflection and Awake, Arise, Or Be Forever Fallen. Not only am I super behind on these reviews but I just didn’t think these episodes merited having separate reviews. They certainly weren’t bad episodes. They were definitely passable. There were scenes I enjoyed but ultimately, I didn’t have a whole lot to talk about. So I’m going to be talking about both episodes together.
This is going to be an honest review of my thoughts and feelings regarding this episode. If you’re the kind of Shadowhunters fan where you only want to hear positive things about the show, this is not the place for you. If you decide to stick around and get offended by what is said, then that’s on you. I warned you. Just know that if you send me any rude comments or messages, I will 100% ignore you. I find that’s the best way to deal with bullies. I work 14 hour days. Do you really think I want to waste my incredibly valuable free time dealing with derogatory comments? Hell no. This review will consist of my honest opinions. Opinions are never right or wrong. I’m not telling you how to think and feel. I’m telling you what I think and feel. So please, let’s discuss with dignity and respect. If I’m critical about the show, it’s only because I want it to get better. There is, in fact, a difference between hating a show and being critical of it. I do not hate Shadowhunters; I am being critical and analyzing the flaws as I would with any other show. There are positives but there are also negatives. It’s great if you want to promote positivity with this show (and I encourage you to do so) but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t acknowledge the things that are legitimately wrong with it. Also, keep in mind that despite the fact that I do love the books, me being critical of this show has nothing to do with my love of the books. I don’t really care if the show deviates from the source material as long as it’s good and it makes sense. My problems with this show are problems that I would have with any show or book for that matter. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to take issue with a show that has plot holes, shoddy world-building and inconsistent characters. There will be spoilers for the books and movies.
As I said, I liked both episodes although they did drag at certain points and there were a few plot issues where I was scratching my head. A Dark Reflection, I found myself enjoying because it had some nice little character moments that I found very endearing and very cute. But on the flip side, it did drag a little. But that’s to be expected. This episode was kind of boring to me but it was also trying to position it’s chess pieces. You know, where the characters are going to be at for the finale and all that. Awake, Arise, Or Be Forever Fallen was an interesting watch. I did enjoy it but at the same time it was also kind of, “meh.” Let’s get on with this.
Malec Development
So in these two episodes, we’re getting some serious Malec development, for better or for worse. In the previous episode, Day of Atonement, Alec finds out that the Clave has been lying about having the Mortal Sword. The truth is they’ve never had it since it was initially stolen by Valentine in Day of Wrath. Alec was clearly torn on whether he should tell Magnus about this and ultimately chooses not to. And as expected, Magnus loses his shit when he finds out that Alec withheld this information. I totally get why Magnus is angry about this. The Mortal Sword is around and no one knows if it still has the capability to kill downworlders or not. And like always, Alec is being crucified in the fandom for this. I try to not take sides with the Malec fights. I’m always willing to look at both sides. So whereas I totally get where Magnus is coming from, I understand Alec too. He had an impossible decision to make. Tell Magnus the truth which would entail Magnus having to keep something like this a secret from his own people (would you want to be in that situation?) or keeping it to himself to ensure an outright war between shadowhunters and downworlders doesn’t occur? By keeping it a secret, he’s trying to maintain the peace. He’s trying to make a decision that will benefit the most people. Was he right or wrong? Who knows? It would’ve been a double edged sword either way. Those who immediately go to blame Alec on this, I would ask that you really take a deep look at this situation and think of the consequences of each situation and ask yourself, what would you have done? Me? I have no idea what I would have done. I probably would’ve left the city altogether to hide in a hole and hope it resolved itself on its own. Take the Stiles Stilinski from Teen Wolf approach:
I’m just saying. That is an impossible decision to make. Either way, it hurts people. He was either going to hurt Magnus or he was going to hurt his people. If there’s one thing about Alec, he has this ingrained aspect of his personality to protect. He always wants to make the best decision to protect everyone. It’s why he had such a strong distaste for Clary when he met her. Despite what some of the fandom may have to say, I feel that very little of it had to do with his feelings for Jace. It had more to do with Clary being this anomaly that he couldn’t control. They knew nothing about her, who she was, where she came from, whether she was telling the truth or not. He saw her as this being that could threaten his people and every day she was in their lives made it harder to and harder to protect them. In essence, he felt like he was failing at the one thing he felt he was always meant to do. But I actually really like what Matt Daddario said on this episode in the Afterbuzz review, though. Alec has to make a decision. Alec is in charge of other people’s lives now. It may seem heartless but he’s in a position now where he can’t just choose love. It’s far more complicated than that. He’s got to make a decision to protect the most amount of people. So yeah, like I said. I’m not saying either party is right in this situation. Plenty of people have called me an Alec sympathizer and I’ve made no secret that Alec is my favorite character in the show. But I can still look at the Malec relationship objectively. I’m always willing to look at both sides and I wish the rest of the fandom could do the same. All I’m saying is that I understand both. I’m a grown adult with my own problems so I’m not going to waste time taking sides on a fictional ship that has fictional problems. I’ll just sit back and enjoy the ride. And hope for more Alec centric storylines…but that’s a completely different issue with the show’s writing altogether.
Although, on the other side, this season, I have not been a big fan of the show constantly turning Alec into the bad guy in the Malec relationship. This relationship is so incredibly one sided and unequal, it’s not even funny. In the eyes of the fandom, Alec is always at fault and Magnus is always the perfect one who never makes a mistake. In a healthy relationship, it shouldn’t only be one person creating the problems. It should be both. I can only assume the show is trying to go somewhere with this. It’s been happening far too often for it to be accidental. Or maybe the writers just have a preference for Magnus more. Who knows? I hope the writers aren’t playing favorites. I hope the point they’re trying to make is that these two have reached a point in their relationship where, as leaders for their own groups of people, they need to figure out a way to overcome this. Neither of them have been in a situation where it’s been a relationship vs their people. Neither of them are equipped to handle it. I definitely feel like they need to break up to figure all of this out. How they want to handle this. They need the space to really understand how they feel about each other.
Which is ultimately what happened in the next episode, Awake, Arise, Or Be Forever Fallen. Magnus makes the decision to break it off with Alec because he realizes that he can’t make decisions for his people if he also has Alec on the mind. This of course breaks Alec. That scene where he’s staring at Magnus through the elevator was absolutely heartbreaking. As much as I agree with the decision to break it off, I also have taken myself back to their first date in 2A when they both agreed that their relationship was going to take work. Funny how it always seems like the 20 something year old, newly out of the closet, in his first relationship is more willing to compromise than a 500 something immortal being who’s had tons of relationship experience. It’s something that’s been striking me whenever I think about the Malec angst in Season 2 as a whole. Alec is always willing to apologize and try to find a way to make things work whereas Magnus, whenever something goes wrong in the relationship, he essentially sticks his fingers in his ears and yells, “La la la la” and stomps off. I’m sure I pissed off the Magnus stans in the fandom for that statement but hey, that’s how I interpret it. You don’t have to agree with me but you should still respect it. That’s how ADULT discussions work. No relationship is perfect and has 0 problems. There will always be problems. What matters is how you work through them. I do like how the breakup happened, though. Magnus was very calm with the breakup. He tells Alec that he still cares for him but he can’t be with him because he has his own people to think about. I liked that the breakup didn’t have so much to do with him being hurt but him needing to make the best decision for his people. That being said, I hope the show takes the book approach on how they get back together. I know it’s an unpopular opinion within the fandom but I actually like the break-up sequence in the books. It made a lot of sense to me and I liked how they got back together. It was pretty much Magnus wanting to get back together but Alec saying he’ll only do it if they can have a truly equal relationship. I absolutely do not want to see Alec apologize AGAIN and they get back together. Because while yes, Alec has created issues within the relationship but Magnus also hasn’t been doing the relationship any favors either. He handles these issues very poorly and almost childishly in a way. It’s like, “You did something that made me mad. Grrr. Go away.” That’s not really a healthy response to dealing with your relationship issues. Also, if anyone sends me rude comments or messages about the statements I just made, just know you will be ignored. I will discuss it calmly with you but if you’re rude or disrespectful, you will be ignored. And I’m only saying this because of comments I’ve seen on posts recently. If you try to come at me with some kind of comment like, “You’re only saying that about Magnus because he’s a POC and you don’t like POC,” you will immediately lose all credibility with me. You don’t know the first thing about me or the life I may or may not have lived and you’re going to call me a racist because you don’t agree with me? Because that’s totally a mature way to handle a difference of opinions.
A comment like that makes me realize you and I are probably not compatible and it also shows you have no respect for me or my ideals so why should I have respect for you. You leave a comment or message like that and I will not respond to you and I will most likely block you. So really. Why waste your time?
But apart from the Malec breakup, we had some FANTASTIC Malec flashbacks in that episode too. They were absolutely beautiful. Those flashbacks, on their own, I loved so much. However, in the context of the actual episode, they didn’t really feel like they had a place. They didn’t really mesh well into it. It wasn’t always clear why Magnus was having these particular flashbacks when he was looking back at their relationship. It was very obvious why these scenes were there. They were fan service, pure and simple. It was the show’s way of saying, “we’ve heard your criticisms on the Malec relationship and we’re going to fix them all in this episode with flashbacks.” The flashbacks were great but it would’ve been even better if they would just do these nice little Malec scenes throughout the season in the first place. These scenes should have been a part of Malec’s timeline right from the get-go. But whatever. The scenes were beautiful so I’ll take what I can get.
Jonathon and Clary Scenes
We had some interesting scenes with Jonathon and Clary in these two episodes. It starts off with Clary first off, finding out that her brother is still alive. Jace is very adamant about that if Jonathon gets in the way, he will take measures to stop him. Clary, all of the sudden, has an issue with killing, it would seem. When she was complaining to Jace about killing Jonathon, I was like, “And how many Circle members have you killed, Clary, without batting an eye?” Those people, although terrible people they may have been, most likely have family of their own. I certainly don’t remember her being all that remorseful about that. Or is it only an issue if she has a connection to the person? No, then killing is suddenly not alright. It takes Jonathon to kill Elliot, Dot (maybe, honestly she’s escaped death so many times that I’m not going to believe it until I see a body and even then, maybe not), and Max to be injured for her to get over this no killing thing. But whatever. It’s a trademark of a Mary Sue to have this whenever it’s convenient for the plot. As always, Will Tudor kills it as Jonathon. He’s genuinely touched that Clary is still willing to give him a chance. So much so, that he goes as far as kissing her. His own sister. Eew. I gotta hand it to Freeform. I was honestly surprised that kiss happened. Considering how vehemently they were against the Clace incest, I didn’t think they were going to do this. It was really great to see. And no, I’m not an advocate for incest. I enjoyed that moment because it really showcased just how messed up Jonathon is. Because of what was done to him and the upbringing he had, he can’t really differentiate between the different aspects of love. What should just be fondness for a sister that doesn’t want to kill him outright, he interprets as himself in love with her and he doesn’t see anything wrong with that because he hasn’t had a healthy upbringing where someone taught him the differences. All the different forms of love get mixed together into his head as one thing: possessive love. It was a really interesting character study on the micro level for Jonathon that I enjoyed. I thought it was super interesting. Granted, I’m still not a big fan of the show Disney-fying him and turning him into this grotesque burnt corpse but in the context of this moment, I felt the show gave us a deeper understanding of Jonathon and his feelings towards Clary. Keep in mind, still don’t like the burnt corpse idea and him killing flowers and whatnot. I am not legitimizing that plot point at all. It’s so overdramatic that I can’t help but laugh at it whenever I see it. It’s not the fact that he is a burnt corpse that I have an issue with. Ironically, he’s just not as intimidating in that form. I find Jonathon to be a really good villain when he’s Will Tudor being creepy as fuck. Because that mental instability makes him unpredictable. It’s like, what’s he planning? What’s his endgame? That’s what I like about the Will Tudor form and why I can’t take that burnt form seriously.
Then Clary manages to trap him and sees him for the irredeemable monster he is and he has this really great scene with her in the elevator where he’s lamenting that he wanted her and the mirror but if he can’t have both, dot, dot, dot. Just the way he was touching her face and Clary being visibly creeped out by this was really fun to watch. That must have been an interesting scene for Will and Kat to film.
Sizzy’s Back…For A Little At Least
Some really nice Sizzy moments as well. I was almost ready to throw in the towel with Sizzy, you know. Because let’s be real, the Sizzy that I want is the Sizzy from the books. I love their dynamic in the books so much but that dynamic will be impossible to reach with Show Sizzy because they changed so much of Izzy’s character. I’m not saying the changes are bad. Just that the particular dynamic from the books isn’t going to work on the show with the Izzy personality we currently have. I was willing to throw the towel in and just let Simon and Maia be endgame. But then we had some really nice moments here where Simon was helping Izzy train Max and I really enjoyed those scenes. I kind of like the Sizzy dynamic right now. That they don’t put up any fake airs when they’re with each other. They’re so comfortable around each other that they feel like they can just be themselves. And that’s the beginning of a really nice dynamic and an excellent start to an endgame foundation. Obviously, if the show decides to pursue Sizzy, they are going to be a real slow burn but if the show plays the cards right, I could like this version of Sizzy just as much as I like the book version.
Luke the Badass
So Luke was finally a badass in this episode. If you’ve been following me a little bit, you know how off and on I am about Luke as a character. He’s slated as a main character but yet he never feels like he has a whole lot of purpose within the show. He’s the pack’s Alpha but he’s extremely passive in how he manages them. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that he actually is the alpha of an actual werewolf pack. Most of the time, I forget he’s a werewolf. Hell, if it weren’t for Clary telling me at the beginning of each episode, I’d forget he’s a NYC cop. I don’t know how he still has a job with the NYPD. He never seems to be working. I also wish the show would just write off his partner. I think she’s annoying and the plot is way too complex to be including her, as well. She is completely unnecessary to the story, right now.
But finally, we got that Alpha fight that I wanted at the 2B premiere. It finally happened. It wasn’t as spectacular as I would’ve liked. It would’ve been so much more awesome if they were in their werewolf forms but budget, you know. I won’t fault the show too much for that. It was great to see Luke finally take charge and tell everyone this is what’s what. That’s the Luke I want to see.
Max’s Death…Nope
So Max’s death didn’t happen and I was a little disappointed. I know I sound like a horrible person. Damn you, Shadowhunters. Why didn’t you kill the 10-year-old kid? It’s not that I want a kid to die. That’s not what I want at all. But there is a certain emotional response that’s going to be needed and his death is a good way to get that. Actually, I was discussing this with friend of mine on Tumblr, and we kind of agreed that Max didn’t really have to die to push the story along. We would’ve been perfectly fine if maybe he just got seriously injured. Something that would’ve been permanent. Like say, he got paralyzed. Because for a shadowhunter, not being able to fight is a punishment worse than death. The emotional response that would’ve given to his family would’ve been phenomenal. Or I even had this theory that Jonathon didn’t kill Max. He just injured Max so badly that Max fell into a coma that he was never going to wake up from. And the Lightwoods would have to make the decision to kill Max themselves. Thereby, making them Max’s killers instead. The grief and the pain that would’ve caused them, I get chills just thinking about it. Sadly, neither of those things seem to have happened. Max does fall into a coma but then he goes through an operation that supposedly kills most shadowhunters and he miraculously survives. Ugh. So basically, there are no consequences. Which is the real issue that I have with how this played out. They brought this dangerous and unstable person into their lives that they trusted way too easily; so from a story telling perspective, something horrible and permanent should’ve happened to Max as a result. Max got better so it feels like there’s no real consequence to Jonathon being let into the Institute besides a few nameless shadowhunters we don’t care about being killed by him. That entire plot point was completely anticlimactic that led nowhere besides Jonathon having to forcibly leave the Institute. There was no lasting impact. Again, I’m not saying they should’ve killed Max. For one thing, Shadowhunters does character deaths very badly. Ragnor, Jocelyn, even Alaric, they were all brushed under the rug and I have a huge problem with how those deaths were handled. I did not want them to kill Max if his death was going to be treated like Jocelyn’s or god forbid, Ragnors’. I also understand that seeing how Freeform is a family based channel, they probably felt a little uneasy about killing a child character. But on the flipside, this a show about a shadow world. These people lead very dangerous lives. Every time they go out on a mission, they run the risk of never coming back. Just one second of not paying attention or a freak circumstance or even a demon just plain outsmarting them once, could mean a shadowhunter’s death. Very rarely do shadowhunters live long enough to die of old age. Most of them expect to die young. Death is a huge part of their culture. And just like in our world, the worst deaths are the ones that are unfair. And Max’s is certainly one of those. My point being, this world has consequences for the lives they live and the decisions they make and I hate how the main shadowhunters don’t seem to be privy to those consequences. That the show hasn’t really explored that bad things do happen to good people and how that affects the characters that are still living. So maybe Max didn’t need to die, but I still feel like something serious and permanent needed to happen to him. But who knows. Maybe they’re going to kill him off later. Maybe they didn’t want the book fans to predict his death. Even though his death would’ve been predictable for me in this moment, I still would’ve been fine with it because it would’ve fit given the circumstances our characters were in. It would’ve worked. But oh well. The show has been teasing at SDCC that there will be a death and I only hope it’s a big one and it’s someone that’s going to shake us to our core.
So these episodes, I’d give them a B-. Plenty of the scenes were enjoyable but the episodes as a whole, I didn’t find all that impressive. I am very excited to see where the finale is going to take us. The promos look really interesting. All I’m saying with all this hype, I better be wowed. The show’s cast and crew have been nonstop hyping this finale. It’ll be interesting to see what 2B is going to leave us with. Me, personally, even though I feel 2B has arced very well, the individual storylines have been very lackluster. A lot of dropped plot points, plot inconsistencies, plot holes, out of character moments. As I’ve said before, it always feels like the writers are writing safe and I really hope that the finale will allow them to throw caution to the wind and just go for the crazy. I like a little crazy in my shows. It makes them unpredictable. And sadly, this show has been very predictable with its writing. This show has done very little to actually surprise me.
Well, that’s all I got for you guys. As usual, I encourage mature, rational discussions. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Just remember that we are individuals so everyone has a differing opinion. I ask that you please be respectful. The fandom has been particularly bad this season.

(She’s back… after an unforeseen hiatus).
Introduction
Good morning, afternoon or evening to those who stumble upon this, like most I would like to find a partner to write long-term. At the moment I don’t have many, and wouldn’t mind at least two to three more. I should probably say a bit about myself, I am twenty-four years old and have been writing about 08 years +. I was a member of Quizilla, where I used to search for partners back in the day. I tend to lurk on other roleplay oriented sites such as RP.Me, and Tumblr from time to time. Below, I will list my rules, current cravings, full roleplay list and some last minute notes. If you see something that catches your eye please do contact me through one of the contact mediums I’ve listed; thank you.
Note: So, as mentioned above I had to take an unforeseen hiatus due to a number of things. (School and health being the two main contributors). However, I am back after a well-needed rest and ready to write again. As of today’s date I have reached out to everyone with whom I was speaking with and sent out replies. If we were speaking a while back (forgive me for disappearing), and you haven’t heard back from me, I’d love to get back in contact with you and begin where we left off. ❤
Types of Roleplay
-
Basic: Contact me with what fandom(s) you’re interested in, we’ll make a mutual decision on the choice, before exchanging oc information and discussing plots. The format is what we’re all used to: portraying our oc’s, each other’s love interest(s) and side characters.
Doubles: More or less the same as above, except if there is more than one thing you’d like to do and are up for doing more than roleplay, than we can. I will probably only accept 2-3 per person, due to time management.
Split: The format is similar to the basic formula, we both choose one fandom of our respective sides. Then, exchange oc information, love interests and plots.
Split 2.5: This is similar to the former, but different than the ones before it. Normally, a split roleplay is done where we choose two separate fandoms; but I can make an exception for a basic format if that is what you wish. Now, here is where it’s different after we choose our respective fandoms, along with our oc information we will include a big or small write up of a plot for our character and their love interest(s). Now, I will give my partner full-rein in regards to what kind of plot they want. Want a storyline filled with drama and mayhem? Go for it. Want a reverse harem storyline with four characters vying for your character’s heart? Fine with me. This is your opportunity to play out any kind of headcanons and storylines you wish. I only ask for nothing that violates my rules or limits, otherwise sky’s the limit. I may accept 2-3 per person. If you need help with a storyline, let me know.
Rules and Regulations
Length: Normally, I will write one to two paragraphs on both sides. However, that is not my limit for I can write anywhere between one to five paragraphs per sides. Length for a single paragraph can range anywhere between 200-500+ words, whereas each individual side usually equates anywhere from 400-800+ words. I like to consider myself a paragraph|multi-paragraph writer, although I know a lot of people are converting to novella writers, I can accommodate to a novella partner just beware that it will take me longer to reply to you as opposed to someone else. This is due to how much time and effort that goes into novella responses. I am the type of person who likes to take the time to construct a quality response, rather than rush and send someone a response for the sake of replying. Which is why I ask, please give me time to write your response.
Format: I can write in either first or third person, despite preferring first because I can connect with my character more; I will do whatever my partner feels more comfortable with and if that’s second so be it. Also, don’t forget that roles between the two of us should follow accordingly; I play my OC, your love interest(s) and additional side characters. While you play your OC, my love interest(s) and additional side characters.
Love Interests, Mary Sues and Spotlight: I’m lenient when it comes to love interests, as I allow more than one suitor for our characters because love triangles make the story more interesting. However, I would ask that if we just so happen to have the same choice(s) for a love interest that we don’t fight about it; instead try to sort things out. I’ve literally had someone threaten me, simply because I liked the same person as them (I’m not kidding). Second, I’m not an extremist when it comes to characters; meaning I won’t knit pick about every little thing. All I ask is no Mary-Sues and no hogging the spotlight; this is a storyline created between the two us. Let’s share it please.
Spelling and Grammar:There are a lot of people who tend to knit pick about this; but rest assured I will not. All I ask is that you have a decent grasp on both spelling and grammar. Do this and we’ll get along fine; this is something that I can and will promise you.
Manners and Etiquette: This should be common knowledge, but all I ask is that during our time writing together that you treat me with respect and courtesy; I will return the gesture as it is only right. I’d like us to get along, I would hate for a disagreement to ensure and there was bad blood between us due to something frivolous.
Patience and Commitment: I am a full-time student, attending college and leave for school early in the morning and return home later in the afternoon; I am usually quite tired when I return home, but I try to reply to my partners as frequent as possible. However there are times, unfortunately when I cannot reply when I’d like due to an abundant amount of assignments, health issues which can lead to me becoming sick or an emergency at home. I try to inform my partners of these occurrences, but if you don’t hear from me in two to three weeks time don’t be afraid to send me a message and ask me about it. What I won’t accept, is being spammed every five seconds with the same message; again and again because I’m not replying like you’d like me to. I do my best to get to you all, roleplay is supposed to be fun and enjoyable; an escape from reality for both of us. It shouldn’t have to feel like a job. I will do the same for you because I understand everyone here has different lives and schedules to attend to; but please don’t ditch me half-way through the roleplay. If you need to take a break or something; then please tell me. I don’t bite- I’ll understand.
Limits:Tell me your limits when sending a request, as the last thing I’d want is to make you uncomfortable. My limits consist of the following; malexmale/femalexfemale/incest/pedophilia/bestiality. This is where my limits stand, these may or may not change depending on future roleplays; however if you’re unsure about something please don’t hesitate to ask me. Now onto what I will do, I am open to mature themes within the roleplays; I actually encourage them. That includes; cursing, violence, blood, smut, alcohol and lemons. However, I would like to keep the language and lemons to a certain level, meaning no dropping ‘F’ bombs every five seconds and no roleplays dedicated to sexual activities and sexual activities alone. No, there is more to a roleplay than that and I will not engage in such.
Canon, Crossover, AU: I can do strictly canon roleplays or an alternate universe roleplay. Alternate Universes can range from ‘what if’ situations, different settings and scenarios. If you have an idea let me know, or we can brainstorm ideas together; I also have a list of AU prompts so let me know if you’d like to take a look at it. I am also crossover friendly
Location: I can write through email, instant messenger (yahoo, aol, msn), Skype, Kik or Tumblr.
OOC Chit-Chat: I’d like to chat on the sidelines with my partners, as it allows the two of us to get to know each other; thus making things less awkward for the both of us. Plus, I like to make friends with my partners and would enjoy the extra person to converse with.

Final Notes
★Respect my limits and I’ll respect yours.
★This list will be updated periodically.
★Please acquaint yourself with my rules before messaging me. Failure to comply with them or in the instance of repeat offenses will result in the termination of the roleplay.
★Love interests are written in order of preference. If there is only one listed then that’s the only one and I won’t change it.
★Listed above are the fandoms I would be interested in writing for, with them are characters who I wished played against my OC. In return, I will play a character opposite your own OC.
★Please try to have at least two choices when contacting me. I will be thrilled if you have more than that.
★Seriously, don’t contact me if you’re going to ditch. I’m tired of having someone contact me, I get excited and then get dropped. It’s even worse when I write a starter or reply that goes unanswered. If you haven’t heard from me in two to three weeks time send a follow-up message. I cannot stress this enough. Odds are I didn’t receive your message, my own message has gone astray or something simply came up. Either way I will always get replies out to my partners.
★Be prepared to plot.
★Split roleplays are an option
★Double roleplays are an option
★Plot Candies: Fandoms, Canon, Real world meets the Fandom world(aka: Characters from a fandom transported to the real world or vice versa), Action, Adventure, Superhero fiction, Crime, Fantasy, Supernatural, Urban Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Epic/High Fantasy, Magical Girl, Alternate Universe, Horror, Mystery, Romance, Slice of Life, Thriller, Psychological, Drama, Mythology, Fiction, Tragedy, Time Travel, What-If (prompts),Married-Life, Pregnancy, Family, Crossovers, Reverse Harem,
★ Upon contacting me please make sure to do the following. First, I believe that first impressions matter and therefore would appreciate if you could please introduce yourself to me. I find when people contact me with simply “Want to RP” or “RP?” to be very off putting and therefore leave me with no desire to return the message. Second, please include the following information: what you’re interested in writing for, any limits that you may or may not have (this one is important because I know everyone is different) and what type of roleplay you’re interested doing. Lastly, it would be nice if you could include any ideas you may have. If you don’t have any that’s okay, if you do don’t be shy to share. Thanks. ❤
★You may contact through the following mediums:
Email: [email protected]
Skype: x_keyblade.princess_x
Kik: Sailor.Nyx
Tumblr: miss-mischievous-minx.tumblr.com

[ Fandom ] Roleplay Search || 02.10.17

*Twilight ( I will only roleplay this under a few conditions: One, more mature and complex themes than the source material. Two, the vampires will actually behave like vampires meaning no sparkling. Three, you’re free to make your character a supernatural creature outside of a vampire or werewolf but make it believable. Finally, I can write for either the first three books or movies and obviously our story doesn’t have to follow any of these word for word)

Final Notes
★Respect my limits and I’ll respect yours.
★This list will be updated periodically.
★Please acquaint yourself with my rules before messaging me. Failure to comply with them or in the instance of repeat offenses will result in the termination of the roleplay.
★Love interests are written in order of preference. If there is only one listed then that’s the only one and I won’t change it.
★Listed above are the fandoms I would be interested in writing for, with them are characters who I wished played against my OC. In return, I will play a character opposite your own OC.
★Please try to have at least two choices when contacting me. I will be thrilled if you have more than that.
★Seriously, don’t contact me if you’re going to ditch. I’m tired of having someone contact me, I get excited and then get dropped. It’s even worse when I write a starter or reply that goes unanswered. If you haven’t heard from me in two to three weeks time send a follow-up message. I cannot stress this enough. Odds are I didn’t receive your message, my own message has gone astray or something simply came up. Either way I will always get replies out to my partners.
★Be prepared to plot.
★Split roleplays are an option
★Double roleplays are an option
★Plot Candies: Fandoms, Canon, Real world meets the Fandom world(aka: Characters from a fandom transported to the real world or vice versa), Action, Adventure, Superhero fiction, Crime, Fantasy, Supernatural, Urban Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Epic/High Fantasy, Magical Girl, Alternate Universe, Horror, Mystery, Romance, Slice of Life, Thriller, Psychological, Drama, Mythology, Fiction, Tragedy, Time Travel, What-If (prompts),Married-Life, Pregnancy, Family, Crossovers, Reverse Harem,
★ Upon contacting me please make sure to do the following. First, I believe that first impressions matter and therefore would appreciate if you could please introduce yourself to me. I find when people contact me with simply “Want to RP” or “RP?” to be very off putting and therefore leave me with no desire to return the message. Second, please include the following information: what you’re interested in writing for, any limits that you may or may not have (this one is important because I know everyone is different) and what type of roleplay you’re interested doing. Lastly, it would be nice if you could include any ideas you may have. If you don’t have any that’s okay, if you do don’t be shy to share. Thanks. ❤
