#and if im going to write this im saying fuck off to the pg13 rating and making it brutal

[toxifoxx]

truly i think the fnaf movie needed more build up to the climax AND the climax needed to be longer. it honestly feels like it was rushed through

shadow & bone s1 thoughts

Overall I really enjoyed the show, the people who told me I'd really enjoy Kaz's character and to thirst watch for Ben Barnes playing a villain were 100% right.

Books are definately on my to read list, and I want to read them before I really interact with the fandom beyong gifsets and memes. I know theres a lot of wider context and changes from the books. 

I kinda feel like how people who weren't familiar with Witcher books/games and saw Netflix first had very different takes from the previous works just becuase the Netflix show was just different in tone & different in content also I was drinking for the first 4 eps so most of my takes are about things that really stood out to me or just salt

“There are a lot of characters I find really interesting in S&B, but im really enjoying this guy who runs a train through the darkness death zone and set up a whole timing system and way to drift between tracks"

"Imo "competence is sexy" and the ep4 heist was some good shit. Inej, Kaz, and Jasper are really stealing the show from the darkling"

drunk me was right, really they stole the show

also i got the impression that if this wasn’t a pg13 rated show Kaz would absolutely be willing to do some Peaky Binders level shit

can't wait for the cosplays, how does Inej's coat/cloak work? it has sleeves but a lot of confusing layers

seriously how do Alina and Mal not realize that people have incentive to fuck with their mail and keep them isolated

"Lmao no wonder train guy had a train that could run through the darkness zone. I got so caught up with how cool trains are I didn't see the twist"

looking over my notes while writing this post I had wonder how the track and marker posts had been laid as that would be a massive infastructure effort in the darkness zone constantly under attack, so it makes sense that there would be some military government backing

"Mattias and Nina storyline I think is the one I'm least interested in. 0 interest. Like the bickering doesn’t come off as romantic, it comes off as this guy is part of a nation that kidnaps civilians then tortures and executes them"

"Previous note was from before witchhunter dude goes "it's not natural for girls to fight" it's as their God wills it. Officially the worst plotline"

seriously I couldn't remember the names of these 2. But like Mattais doesn't even renounce the system he took part in that kindaps, imprisons (in conditions that are torture), then executes people just for having Magic.

like the "banter" these two have is clearly meant to be flirty, but I'm not sure if it's an actor issue that it's just falling flat or the writing feels like its just pushing characters together in romance just cause. Either way i just end up disliking them more

Ok I really like the subtle but meaningful difference between what Bagrha said what happened with the divide vs how it shows playing out in ep7. Like doesn't seem like he was doing it out of lust for power but that the army was hunting all mages down (and killed his wife)"

im sure the books will change my impression of this but I kept getting xmen impressions with the whole Grisha persecution. Like i got the sense that even if the Darkling surrendered the soldier's were going to kill everyone in the building behind him

"Thanks for saving me" says the grisha Stockholm syndrome woman, "what happened to all the other prisoners on the boat, were they not hot enough to get saved?" I wonder"

you can tell i was real salty about these two. Seriously there were other captives on the ship but I guess the captain didn't try to feed or free them

ok the body horror of the bone collar is awful. Well done makeup team its visceral and personal enough that I actually dislike the Darkling for it. Also that the Darkling put 11 year old Genya in that position of abuse, its the closer to real life crimes than bother your than the fantasy murder conquest

The whole back and forth before the raw af line "make me your villian" was good writing. Real palpable sense of what could have been if the Darkling was actually about helping Grisha and not him

been calling him the darkling b/c i couldn't remember how to spell his name, kept thinking he was General "Kerrigan"

ok if those jewels were enough to free Inej how hard would it have been to steal more stuff from the palace, or off the dead foreign dignitaries

as the show is ending, "In the books did Alina ever confess to burning those maps which then got her entire surveying team placed in danger (and that they all died as a result) I kept waiting for it to come up as a "maybe our codepentcy causes problems"

looked this up later - in the books apparently her whole team is assigned straight away. With the maps thing, I thought I thought it was interesting that while Alina and Mal's bond is a source of strength, it's also a flaw

how would season 2 of riverdale look like if you were writing it? (also please don't hold back on the word count for this ask)

everyones gay. the end.

no ok i will try and go for a realistic version of what i think season 2 could have been. i mean personally i think its realistic to have all the parents be gay but whatever. (*edit from future briana. lol i aint make this shit realistic everybody G A Y) also this is probably gonna be all over the place cuz i have a lot of problems with a lot of characters story arcs so just...we’ll see what happens. also also this is obviously focusing on the parents im sure the kids will get mentioned at some point in regards to certain storylines but for the most part i dont watch them so i dont know what the fuck theyre doing unless it pertains to an adult. ok here we go (i hope you know what you asked for by saying dont hold back on word count...)

lets just get the obvious out of the way FRED AND FP WOULD HAVE SO MANY FUCKING SCENES IF I WAS RUNNING SHIT LIKE THEYD PROBABLY BECOME THE MAIN CHARACTERS SUCK A DICK ITS THE SHOW I DESERVE I DONT CARE WHAT YALL WANT

like from season 1 i had this vision of how i wanted s2 to play out

fp was gonna find out fred was shot, alice was gonna go visit him in jail about it or theyd meet up when he got out and they were gonna team up to avenge fred. thats what shouldve happened ok fight me. THE ONLY APPROPRIATE F*LICE INTERACTION

and then fp was gonna take care of fred. they were gonna work on their relationship. shit was gonna get dramatic but it was gonna be beautiful because ultimately they would realize theyre both the best friends each other ever had and they were better together than apart. 

and thats how the whole black hood thing would be dealt with and we never had to hear about it again

and then with the introduction of hiram and everything going down with the lodges buying freds company + fps dealings with hiram and hermione in the past and the bad blood there that was just...completely dropped... fred and fp were gonna come up with this master plan to screw over hiram and get the company back and then theyd go back to working construction together and happy days would be on the horizon. 

with that being said.... hiram and hermiones storyline this season is honestly the only interesting worthwhile thing. im not mad at it

im a little mad at archie joining the mafia like for one, anyone who knows anything about mob culture, you dont let outsiders in. and if you do, its not that fucking easy. its like “run some errands for me let me put you through some tests. ok youre family” no. i mean i get we’re on the cw but this was really the ...not even pg13 this was some g rated mob shit on archies part but whatever

lets hop on over to the coopers

i called from the beginning that chic was gonna be up to some bullshit and the narrative thats going right now with hal being painted as the bad guy and running off to penelope and alice running into fps arms is absolute utter Garbage™

what SHOULDVE happened (and granted the story is still playing out but lochlyns got a new show and thats very sus to me so... im expecting the worst) is chic comes in all innocent at first and maybe hals still put off, reasonably so, but this clearly means a lot to alice so he sticks it out. and as chic lets his freak out and the family has to deal with this, they grow closer and become more bonded and alice and hal become stronger as a couple and when all is said and done they eventually decide to go to couples counseling or family counseling and everybody works out their bullshit and they all start their journey to becoming a stable fucking family unit

ok now penelope. she’s another one that im actually for the most part enjoying her story but this whole hal business?? unrealistic

what they needed to do was just let her have her ho business and live her life

and also tell cheryl to stop running her mouth

like i really dont need them to have a great relationship personally like fine if they did whatever but cheryl kinda annoys me so penelope telling her whats up is no skin off my back

oh and this whole homophobic business? NOT IN MY SEASON 2

or if they really wanted to keep this contrived ass heather story to give cheryl some depth or whatever, then the least that could happen is it be revealed that penelope is gay herself and was scorned by an ex lover (alice) and was taking it out on her daughter

and then that could come to light and they talk about it and penelope eventually accepts she’s gay and she can be open about it now and she goes on to get herself a beautiful rich powerful girlfriend and my girl pen is set bitch !!! (i will also only accept alice and hal breaking up if alice too comes out and ends up with penelope)

somebody was coming out of my version of s2 gay i mean listen i could also write you a thing about how fp and fred could still get together ...

YOU KNOW WHAT LETS FUCKING TALK ABOUT HOW FP AND FRED COULD GET TOGETHER WHY THE FUCK NOT ITS MY SEASON 2 IMMA DO WHAT I WANT  ITS 20GAYTEEN

fps been spending all this time around fred nursing him back to health after the shooting

and theyve been able to work out all their unresolved bullshit

plus them teaming up to take hiram down

theyve been spending many a cold winter night together

old flames are rekindling 

they both notice they each keep finding little reasons to touch one another

theyre stealing glances when they think the other one isnt paying attention

they start to notice how fucking happy theyve been together theyve both become so playful and intimate with one another

theyre at pops one night having milkshakes

fred has whipped cream on his face

fps trying to tell him where but fred keeps missing it

theyre both laughing

fp reaches over and swipes his thumb softly over the corner of freds mouth

their laughter starts to die down as they both realize theres still this spark of electricity between them

its been sitting there under the surface this whole time waiting to blow up

next thing they know fps leaning over the table to kiss fred 

its soft and sweet and gentle but filled with such passion and urning its been so long since anyones touched them like this and god all the memories of their secret high school hookups come flooding back its like no time at all has passed they just fit together so well

ANYWAY now that fps with fred and this whole north v south thing is going on its creating a whole bunch of tension and like imagine all the drama that would come from the leader of the serpents dating riverdale mayor fred andrews oh my god ??? sign me the absolute fuck up where is THAT iconic storyline

speaking of fred

where the fuck is that pill addiction huh??? we gotta throw that in for drama ok i NEED. IT.

and then mary gets called into town and fp mary and archie are coming together to get fred through this. holding a fucking INTERVENTION ??? 

alice can show up too why not

bring hal

hermione maybe? like i know in her heart she probably cares but maybe dont have your ex gf who is also a mob boss show up at your intervention....

although that would make for a good fp x hermione showdown

hermiones invited

what else do we need....

i need alice and hermione

i dont know in what capacity i just know i need it

we definitely need a moms night out episode which would be hilarious because it just ends with alice and penelope making out and hermione and mary making out and sierra is facetiming tom like “please come pick me up”

speaking of sierra i dont mind this storyline with tom i just wish we could..actually see it...

OH I ALMOST FORGOT SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT HOW DARE I! I NEED FP RAISING HIS SERPENT KIDS !!!! AND MY S2 INCLUDES JOAQUIN OK I MISS HIM JUST GIVE ME FP TRYING TO HERD JOAQUIN AND FANGS AND TONI AND SWEET PEA AND I GUESS JUGHEAD CAN COME ALONG TOO SINCE HES ACTUALLY FPS SON... WHATEVER

god i just want fp and fred having date night down at the whyte wyrm and tonis pestering them about sharing stories from high school and how they fell in love and she wants to hear all the hot gossip and jugheads like “no gross i dont want to hear this”but joaquin an fangs and sweet pea are ENTHRALLED like they wanna hear everything too they wanna know about all the stupid shit fred and fp used to do to land in detention

OH OH AND THEN WE CAN HAVE A WHOLE THING WITH PENELOPE AND CHERYL HAVING A HEART TO HEART ABOUT PENELOPE BEING IN LOVE WITH ALICE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WE GET PARALLELS OF THEM AND CHONI

i told yall this shit was gonna be all over the place

hell maybe even gladys played by neve campbell would show up at one point so fp can see his fucking daughter thatd be neat

and gladys and fp decide to end things for good and go through with the divorce but its amicable and theyre friends. she could move back to riverdale but then im thinking of jellybean having to be taken out of school... so maybe they stay in toledo but gladys and fp come up with a plan for holidays and summer vacation and its all just very pleasant ok. 

if we want to go with the tragic heterosexual version of riverdale, i fully support gladys and fp getting back together btw its what god wants

but so long as we’re living in my lala fantasy land.... fp ends up with fred and gladys and fp call truce

alice and fp would be F R I E N D S

no ones hiding no dead bodies

no ones making weird inappropriate comments about leaving spouses

alice is not going serpent!alice on everyone

no

gross

get out of my face

theyre friends and they banter a lot but theres still a deep PLATONIC love there for each other

ok i think i covered everything i wanted.....

am i delusional?

maybe

but is my version more fun?

absolutely
