Do you remember how I said I won't be watching s3? Yes, I'm a lying liar through andĀ throughĀ lolĀ myĀ sister said let's watch it and I love watching movies or TV shows with her, andĀ tbhĀ weĀ had a good laughšŸ˜­šŸ’€
OkayĀ so here are my thoughts:
First of all: KATE AND ANTHONY. Omg they're everything to me!! They were only in one episode but they made that episode theirs. I just love seeing them blissfully happy and living in their own bubble. I'm both sad and glad they were only in one episode. Because I wouldn't put it past the writers to give them some unnecessary drama and conflict. At the same time their screen time was so little... I suppose we can't have it all :')
Francesca. Omg I love her so much. I already loved her from the booksĀ butĀ the show? God, she's so cute and beautiful.Ā Hannah played herĀ to perfectionĀ andĀ I'm glad she's the new Francesca.Ā Even when you read the books, that's how you imagine Fran's character. Both she and Kate have a special place in my heart.
John...Ā my godĀ JohnĀ is here. And I'm already too attached to him. I can't- Listen, IĀ know my heart will break when his time comes. The actor wasĀ suchĀ a good choice for his characterĀ andĀ I was on the verge of crying whenever he appeared with Fran. She was always so happy to see him. I never thought two characters/actors could have this much chemistry while sittingĀ in silence.Ā GODĀ I LOVE THEMĀ andĀ I'm ready for heartbreak :D We still have no MichaelĀ butĀ I'll keep hoping for him to appear becauseĀ myĀ god...Ā Francesca's bookĀ is filledĀ with angstĀ IĀ justĀ hope when it's her turn, they do it justice<3
I actually enjoyed Eloise and Cressida. I never thought I'd say thisĀ butĀ I did!! I know they made 180 changes about her character in the new seasonĀ butĀ I don't really care lolĀ IĀ justĀ hope she works it out with DeblingĀ soĀ at leastĀ she'll be free from her parents.
People keep saying they don't like Eloise this seasonĀ butĀ she'sĀ soĀ much better than me. I would've been so much worse...Ā The first thing I would've done was give Pen's name to the queenĀ butĀ she kept it this whole time and was actually worried about Pen...Ā she was kind enough to a person who ruined her and her family, not once but twice.
There are too many side plots in this season.Ā LikeĀ I don't want to be patheticĀ butĀ we've been saying that since s2Ā andĀ y'allĀ called us delusional and said to be grateful because it was more than enough. But now that I see even Polin fans have a problem with this seasonĀ makesĀ me so happy and sad at the same time. Because when this happened to your favs, it's a real issue...
I love LD and QC friendship so much!! And QC & Brimsly. These friendships were more shaped since QC spin-offĀ andĀ I really enjoyed it.
It'sĀ obviousĀ to meĀ that they don't know what to do with Ben's plot lol. Because creating these unnecessary original characters isĀ doingĀ a disadvantage to the whole show. I really hope we see Sophie this season.Ā 
OkayĀ I've avoided the inevitable as much as I couldĀ lolĀ so let's talk about the main couple:
They have no chemistry.Ā I know some might not agree with meĀ butĀ there'sĀ no chemistry for me.Ā It has always been like this since s1. At least I don't feel anything special between them. Nicola isĀ a wonderfulĀ actorĀ and isĀ carrying the whole ship on her shouldersĀ andĀ I said what I said.Ā 
Luke wasn't good at portraying Colin at all. He has no charisma and is trying too hard. I'm not talking about his character wanting to be something he's not but talking about the acting in general, so don't come for me with that argument. They really tried to make him like Anthony but failed miserably.Ā WhichĀ is sad because evenĀ thoĀ I haven't read their book, heĀ inĀ otherĀ booksĀ wasĀ absolutelyĀ my favorite side character.Ā Me and my sister were laughing our asses off at some of his actings like sir...Ā plsĀ don'tšŸ˜­ I'm being super meanĀ omg
The pacing of their relationship was weird. WhenĀ heĀ proposed toĀ herĀ I was so shockedĀ likeĀ in episode 4? Already? Then I rememberedĀ inĀ s1Ā we had the same situationĀ butĀ inĀ s1Ā it felt right. It wasn't weird or felt too soon or too late, itĀ was right. With Polin, everything felt out of order. I think they didn't want to focus much on building it up because they felt they already did in the pastĀ 2Ā seasonsĀ butĀ it just felt off in the end. They weren't even together much on screen to feel like it's building up!! There was no arcĀ orĀ if itĀ was,Ā it was too subtle that if youĀ blinkĀ you'll miss it.
The other problem with their plot was the similarity between s1 and s3. Simon was trying to help Daphne to find a husbandĀ andĀ Colin is doing the same thing.Ā ExceptĀ s1Ā mainĀ trope was Fake DatingĀ andĀ s3 was Friends to Lover.
Which brings me to another reason whyĀ I didn't likeĀ s3.Ā Friends to Lovers trope. Honestly, this is aĀ meĀ problem. I've never liked this trope at all. I really tried to change my mind about it, like reading books with this tropeĀ butĀ most of the time I'm left unsatisfied or hating the book. Unfortunately, s3 was no different. This trope always comes off as unpassionate for me. Which I thinkĀ it'sĀ the trope.Ā Because it's supposed to be cute and subtleĀ andĀ I'mĀ not sure it'sĀ reallyĀ my thing.Ā SoĀ IĀ guess theĀ majorĀ reason for my dislike of this season is the trope.
There wereĀ 2Ā fkn scenes of Colin participating in a threesome...Ā That was so fkn badĀ likeĀ I can't believe this just happened. And one of them was after he kissed Penelope...Ā I don't care that he didn't continueĀ but...Ā OUGHĀ itĀ gave the ick so bad, IĀ didn't even watch it, Ā just fast-forwarded it.
That carriage scene was okay-ish? It didn't leave me breathless like the Kanthony scenes did.Ā TbhĀ s2Ā left me in a shamble with how much emotions I felt with those two. But with s3, I had the exact opposite feeling toward the main couple.
Anyway, I think this season, revealing LW's identity was their priorityĀ whichĀ is why they weren't so focused on the romanceĀ (?)Ā idkĀ but I feel like part 2 won't be any different than part 1Ā andĀ they'reĀ gonnaĀ throw some sex scenes to make it up for the romance lol
ps: I know I said s4Ā willĀ be Benedict's and I still think it will be but if they decide to make it Francesca's? Oh, I wouldn't mind at all!!Ā

Hi I listened to six episodes of S3 and Iā€™m back. I have nothing to do and school starts on Monday so lemme give my thoughts šŸ—£ļø
MAG 81: A Guest For Mr. Spider
Happy that Jonā€™s safe and in hiding! I remember Georgie was mentioned in Melanie Kings first statement so I guess she counts as a friend. Another spider theme. Thereā€™s so many spiders and Iā€™m wondering what entity that could like fall under. Iā€™m curious on ā€œThe Eyeā€ because it hasnā€™t done anything, it just watched. Which makes sense. But Michael mentioned before that Jon being protected by it so is it likeā€¦chill????
MAG 82: The Eyewitnesses
Oh I hate Elias that little bitch I swear to god. Also the fact that the recorder didnā€™t turn off when they tried during Tims statement was interesting. Is The Eye doing that?? I donā€™t know maybe itā€™s just going weird.
Feeling bad for Daisy. Like sheā€™s a murderer yeah but I like her ā˜¹ļø and I hate Elias. Super curious on his backstory though
MAG 83: Drawing a Blank
Auughhegughf I hate mannequins. Especially in games when you look away and theyā€™re like getting closer. Iā€™m wondering what the hell the deal was with this. Cause sometimes you can kinda gauge a motivation but this mannequin kinda just did a lot of stuff. Although the circus theme kinda reminded me of that one circus mentioned before. Maybe itā€™s like an element of The Stranger. Cause like mannequins are faceless and kinda take on different identities everytime you dress them yā€™know?? Lana was found partially skinned. Maybe the mannequin wanted that. Now that I know about these entities, Iā€™m totally gonna search for links with them. Iā€™m a sucker for cool horrors of humanity.
Also Breekon and Hopes deliveries mention!! Iā€™m thinking they replaced the OG mannequin.
MAG 84: Possessive
Kind of another disease/gross shit theme in here? Also chills when they said ā€œGordieā€™s Dumpā€ like eugh that got me. Iā€™m still trying to understand what Maggie was doing. Like the boy saw Gordonā€™s face out of newspaper in the mud but Gordon was also in the house, Maggie smoothing paper over his face. Is she making like clones out of paper. Is she paper machĆ©ing clones???? They said whenever Gordon came to school, he had dirt under his fingernails so Iā€™m thinking like every day heā€™s like replaced or something and then Maggie buried him??? I think.
MAG 85: Upon the Stair
This one was a lil hard because itā€™s a very strangely narrated statement but I managed! It made me think of Cheating Death where someone will replace the other person in whatever (someone replacing death after beating them in a game-someone replacing the stair figure after calling for them)
Jon did mention this but might as well say it; very Michael-esque. Somehow I donā€™t think heā€™s involved though šŸ’€ I donā€™t know who is sending the statements to Jon. My first thought is Elias since he actually knows where Jon is and who he is with. Or so he says. Also the comment on like people becoming warped creatures is so true now that I think about it. I donā€™t want Jon to be a warped creature heā€™s too boring for that guys
Also Georgie is real. Go get that Hungarian dinner girl
MAG 86: Tucked In
Eughhhh it moves when you look. I hate that even more then when it moves when you DONT look šŸ˜­Also Tim has some problems he probably needs to work through. I feel like he knows more than he lets on. Like he did say to Martin that something worse is happening to the institute than it being haunted. Also, love Melanie King šŸ«¶ itā€™s funny she doesnā€™t know what Og Sasha looked like since she knows she looks different then Not! Sasha. She just doesnā€™t know how.
Scary ass episode. Iā€™m wondering if the creature in this and the one in A Fathers Love and Exceptional Risk are likeā€¦cousins or something because the one in this left behind ā€œa small patch of foul smelling waterā€ and in the other ones, brackish water would come out taps when I think itā€™s like close I think? Bit a stretch but maybe they belong under the same entity. Like darkness I dunno
Okay thatā€™s everything! So far season 3 is super good. I love hearing the stuff outside the statements, itā€™s super interesting and Iā€™m excited to see what happens next

Okay, I caved and downloaded Romance ClubšŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Does anyone have any good story recommendations? I'm still gonna be on Choices and post Choices content (and finish off the books on my reading list). I just feel like I need to stop relying on one storytelling app
Ugh, this is such a weird feeling! It reminds me of when I switched from Episode to Choices and I had to acclimate to the better quality of stories imao. I just wanna ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½expose myselfāœØ to more interactive apps and since Storyscape or wtvr doesn't exist anymore this is the closest I can get

Kali: Call of Darkness: 9/10; love the MC, the characters, the story progression, the Dozen lore, replayability, etc. but gets a point off for its problematic depiction of Indian culture and Hinduism) tbh it deserves an extra point or two off because I despise the way Remy clearly wrote from a Eurocentric perspective, but this is also the first RC book I read after the slew of mid Choices books so I got attached unfortunately
Theodora: 9.6/10; I got the ending where I was only able to save my soul and it made me sad šŸ˜­ the story was well written but there were parts where I was just a lil bored. At least, thatā€™s how I felt initially before I became obsessed with the book. It's objectively amazing etc. but I feel kinda robbed from screentime with the OG characters if that makes sense? Either way the writer did a great job writing them into the plot in later seasons and the MC is so amazing I love her <3 itā€™s not easy to write the progression of multiple relationships already but to have a different set of likable LIs every season is incredible!
Arcanum: 9.8/10; THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD omg I love how the plot came full circle and the MC was interesting and well-written (her character design was also top tier). It's such a unique concept for a book I love it. I feel like S3 could have gone by a lil quicker (along with a couple of other nitpicky things) but that could just be because S2 was so full of action
Heaven's Secret: 9.9/10; I just started its sequel, but I was pleasantly surprised at how engaging this book was! I like the gradual progression from being a new student to slowly learning the truth behind your death and about the academy. The final battle scene was super cool, and I feel like everything had a logical explanation (ex. Shepha only having power over light). I also like the different pathways of being an Angel, Demon, or Harmony Bearer (which I was!) it was really fun and seems like a replayable book <3

A while ago someone asked you for your thoughts on Garfiel. I figured the sibling set should be complete, so what are your thoughts on Frederica?
HALLO FINNB!!! interesting question :o my thoughts on frederica are. a little mixed. but ultimately i think what weā€™ve seen from her so far is interesting and that she has a lot of potential here.
we just dont know all that much about her :(( on one level i get itā€”rezeros cast is immense and naturally tappei has to rotate through everyone and give every character focus and spotlight at different times. but bc we dont know that much about frederica i feel like shes mostly just Kinda There, yknow? :<< we know way more about garfiel and i feel like frederica being kept on the backburner for so long kinda works against her and the emilia camp in general writing wise just bc she just has to be stuck in I Havent Had My Character Arc Limbo when the emilia camp is the main group we see consistently for rezeros main route ig. or at least thats my thoughts on it atm :<<
plus i was honestly kinda sad frederica didnt get to go along in arc 5 If Only bc she didnt get to see what her mom is up to firsthand. then theres the actual arc 4-5 interlude with frederica and garf trying to bond after sanctuary that i HOPE gets included in s3 :<< frederica is just lacking in screentime and literally almost any info at all for sure. which makes me sad bc tappei LET ME IN I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT HER !!! >:(((
and again i get it that tappei cant develop every character in existence at the same time. dude has to juggle the most massive cast especially by arc 7. but definitely this has its drawbacks especially with the way tappei writes everyone. bc at the moment frederica is one of the characters suffering the most from itā€”she appeared all the way back in arc 4 and four arcs later i cannot tell you all that much about her :<
i do think though that what we do see from her so far is interesting!! her insecurity regarding her appearance, like her sharp teeth, her being so fond of petra while also being so dead set on disciplining petra firmly when needed (which is sweet!!!), that one ss where frederica takes care of ram when shes feeling more under the weather than usual (which is Again super super adorable), frederica listening with a smile as emilia gushes about subaru to her. and also her just flatly pitying otto and hearing this guy say hes totally normal and being like ā€œhe Literally cannot perceive himself accurately at allā€ + dropping otto in the anime just to hug petra is fucking hilarious i need fredotto fics to actually acknowledge this.
but also other details likeā€”and ok granted i dont remember every detail on frederica (yet) but leaving garfiel like that is still kind of. a dick move HAH. and i know her reason was smth along the lines of wanting to improve the outside world for demihumans iirc but like whats her Full Reasons for doing all that?? what was she even planning to do?? why couldnt she talk to or see garfiel more in this entire time period?? i think it comes with the interesting implication that frederica isnt entirely as nice and sweet as she looksā€”or at least that of course she herself is flawed. which is fun!!
also her relationship with clind is. ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..naturally of course i dont trust tappei with anything regarding children and clinds weird shit with children but ignoring tappei for a moment i do at least appreciate the complicated thoughts frederica has about clind. how she had feelings for him once and they still linger but she keeps her distance bc hes like That, you know? that feeling of broken trust and ā€œi cared for you now what do i do with This Feelingā€ is So interesting to me i just hate clindā€™s whole thing with children bc tappei will never write it in an entirely serious and satisfactory manner šŸ˜­ BUT greed if and the dynamic between frederica and clind and frederica having to help kill / kill clind bc of greedbaru and echidnas shit is SO interesting (and clinds lore apart from being Creepy About Children is very interesting). but also poor fredericaā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.. ;-;
and poor frederica bc if the rumors about her getting more development by like arc 10 or 11 are true then shes gonna be stuck in I Havent Gotten Development Yet Limbo for a while ;-;
but yeah anyway. the frederica crumbs so far are interesting, the shit going on with frederica and garfiels family is Interesting, and i definitely dont trust tappei with children šŸ‘ but i hope we get more info on frederica and that her character arc slaps really hard !! i Need to learn more about her!!!
im not fully familiar with fredericas side of the complicated family drama but if memory serves me right her birth was. not an entirely happy affair bc her poor mom has been through A Lot of shit and frederica was a product of that. and then her mom later tries to go find garfielā€™s dad. like all of that is just so incredibly sad to me and again, i wish frederica was there to see what happened to her mom in arc 5, and also im curious about how thats affected frederica more in depth. knowing she wasnt exactly wanted. having these demihuman features from her dad (im assuming), whos also One Of the people who hurt her mom. knowing that she was born a burden, learning that her mom cant entirely take care of her and isnt in a stable life situation and almost certainly isnt mentally stable herself. garfiel coming along and their mom leaving. frederica leaving garfiel in sanctuary herself. her growing up admiring clind, which is an unfortunate parallel to what couldve happened with her mom and garfielā€™s dad. its just so so tragic to me and theres a lot of things you could explore there!!
frederica to me seems like someone whos probably grown up too fast, who comes off as composed and very disciplined and likes taking care of others but also fumbles a little at growing closer and is insecure and uncertain herself even as shes good at being the older and wiser one to petra and later garfiel a bit. but also we dont know much about her so im kinda just spitballing here but she has potential methinks :,) im definitely sad that it seems like the fact that shes a pretty anime waifu or whatever kinda overtakes discussions on her character sometimes ;-;
and also one of my pals is really passionate about animals and gave me a whole lecture once a few years ago on why they think fredericas beast form design fucking sucks and i cant remember all of their points now but like i Will back them up i think garfiel and fredericas beast forms could look better but im not an expert at illustrating animals so HAH i cant speak on that. but def the eyebrows on the beast designs is soā€¦ā€¦ whaaaaat is that šŸ˜­ go FULL beast design or NOTHING. WHERE IS MY EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA BUFF FREDERICA BEAST DESIGN !!!
Tumblr media
also ngl i just think frederica looks really cute in this shot <333 ALSO iirc she feels like she cant wear cute outfits bc shes insecure about her body and :((((( GIVE THIS GIRL ALL THE CUTEST OUTFITS IN THE WORLD PLEASE :((( and also i just think its a tragedy just how much shes sexualized :(( and i just think there are. a lot of AFAB specific and girlhood specific themes you could explore with fredericas storyline but tappei is tappei so all the foundation is there but idk if i entirely trust him. but on another level i think its fascinating yeah!!! sad how much it flies over audiences heads sometimes.
in conclusion: i like frederica i hope we see more stuff from her. and im crying about how she reportedly wont be getting development for a wall :<<<<

6x06 Thoughts
(these are my live thoughts as i was watching, with some later thoughts/clarifications added)
Tamara's moving out? Great [Listen, I like Tamara, but I think it's weird Tim and Lucy are always hanging out over there when she has a roommate] Although the timing is not great. Bet Lucy feels like everyone is leaving her Tim caved to Angela pretty quick Boo šŸ˜‚ Angela doesn't even want to know why or how he lied? Ok they're sticking to the same story as last week Oh wait there's more? I love these BFFs together again It's like the last 2 seasons never happened šŸ˜‚ Tim is bad at this šŸ˜‚
(Del Monte has gotten mean. And corrupt?)
The rest of Tim's story is even worse šŸ˜­ So why is he doing the same thing now that he did wrong back then? To protect himself? [i didn't love that the backstory was about how Tim ended up risking his squad to keep his job. perhaps that is just how he is telling it because he feels so guilty? idk. and it's one thing if he comes clean but...he doesn't. and he's doing the exact same thing this episode - not going through proper channels and putting people at risk to supposedly save his job?]
Ray cloned the gps and is going after Lucy?! Omg she deserves to be furious at him Done being the good girlfriend šŸ”„ [loved this scene - and I think it made sense, they know due to the job they won't always be able to tell each other everything but that doesn't mean they can't help each other] Woah they caught Ray super fast šŸ˜‚ [I thought there would be more to this dock scene] Woah interesting editing skipping to him in the interrogation room Why is Tim lying?? I am veryyyyy confused I fear this has ruined Tim's character for me [ok i still love tim but it was not clear to me why he lied and why he didn't try to right his wrongs - both in the past and present]
(Undercover nyla ā¤ļø) (Celina better not be moving in with Lucy [but i bet she is]) (Whyyy do we need a baby Nolan) (It's a little weird this is how they brought Jackson's dad back?? and he seems perfectly fine)
We got a hug But where is the apologyyyy Okay so he lied to protect her and Lopez - and his job - and she's ok with it?? Did she make him lie? And now he's the one mad at her? This makes no sense And now HE'S breaking up with HER?? Oh! He did say I'm sorry šŸ™ƒ Is this because he doesn't believe he's good enough for her or he blames her for why he had to lie? Ohh she's not taking this from him, good for her Of course this is happening in the parking lot šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­
(Yuck why are we ending with this scene)
Okay so without the rest of the context of the new Tim backstory and how we got to this breakup, I actually really like the last scene and am excited for what comes next. I guess I kind of wish they had done something like this before they even got together - Olicity S3 parallel, anyone? - because these issues existed for Tim even before now.
Also I think it would have been helpful if they didn't just skip to Tim lying, and they would have explained the plan/why he was doing this/what had been agreed upon between him, Angela and Lucy. Because until she said it I didn't think she would agree with that plan and I still don't really understand why Tim wouldn't come clean - except if it's to protect Lucy (and Angela).
And at first I was thinking what Lucy said - so you lie to me to protect me and then you break up with me because you had to lie? that's messed up - but I don't think that's why he actually broke up with her. He broke up with her because he's feeling really guilty and he doesn't feel like he's good enough for her.
And the 'I know, I know' (remember when we held on to each 'I know' we got?) - he knows he's wrong and he's hurting her so that gives me some hope. So basically I have some empathy for Tim here and understand why he felt he had to break up with her but I still think he should have come clean. And I feel for Lucy too of course, she's just had thing after thing be piled onto her.
The promo for next ep is crazy. I'm excited to see Tim do some self reflection and healing. But this is going to be the third Tim heavy episode in a row. So when are we getting our Lucy arc?? Unless they're trying to make her even more alone for hers? And either Melissa is really good not giving out spoilers, or else they're really not going to resolve a bunch of stuff this season that we thought they would... :( Look I'm still processing this all but bottom line, I'm not mad about the breakup. Those scenes were super emotional and good and it just means we get another "getting together"/makeup scene down the line. And I would say this has significantly raised our chances of getting another sex scene! šŸ˜

A big part of taking care of someone who is sick is just keeping them company because it is so isolating.
So I have sped through a lot of media this past few months while sitting with my sister. And Iā€™ve read while waiting in the hospital and doctors offices.
Hereā€™s the new stuff Iā€™ve just watched and read: (if you wanna talk more about any of them hmu in the ask box. It may take me awhile to answer but I want the asks even so!)
Watched
Barbie. I loved how weird this was. We need more weird blockbusters. I loved seeing a creative team with so many women win so big.
The Bear. This show was a little too real but so well done. I would die for Syd. My sister and I have incorporated ā€œHeard, chefā€ and ā€œYes, Chefā€ into our daily lexicon.
Good Omens S2. When I tell you I was SCREAMIN at the finale. Season three is not a want, it is a need. Right up there with oxygen. Bless Tennant, bless Sheen, bless Gaiman, Netflix hear our prayers.
Breaking Bad rewatch. My thoughts could fill a novel. If anyone wants more, drop an ask. But for these purposes, my only thought is that I will never comprehend people who watched this for Walter White and not for Jessie Pinkman.
Justified Primeval: Deeply enjoyed watching Raylan Givens tussle with a child just like him šŸ˜‚. Also his chemistry with Carolyn was fuckn fire, I loved the ā€˜grown an sexyā€™ vibe. And YESSSS to that epilogue.
What We Do in the Shadows (tho not the finale yet) I will be completely honest I watch this for Guillermo de la Cruz. No thots head empty just Guillermo.
The Witcher S3: My sister actually actively dislikes the show šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­ so I wasnā€™t gonna watch it to the sound of her unsolicited critique. So, I went to my friends house to watch it. But turned out my friendā€™s Husband Joined Us. He is nice but he talked over it SO MUCH. (Like did you know that some of the buildings donā€™t have windows in the wide shots but then in internal shots, windows galore??) Bless his heart. Point being, I need to watch again.
Ladies First. Iā€™m a big fan of women in hip hop so this documentary series was a MUST. It was great but it left me wanting more. I want a series for every year of women in hip hop. Incredible. Also I found some new artists to listen to.
Pacific Rim rewatch. The movie is just as much fun ten years later. The concept of drift compatibility is top fucking shelf my friends. Top. Fuckn. Shelf. Also, is this the only GDT movie where the monsters are actually the bad guys? šŸ˜‚ I think it is.
Heartstopper. I watched this mostly because I wanted to spend time (virtually, alas) with my fandom wife and she is obsessed with this show. Glad queer teens have this. The main actors have amazing chemistry, and are super lovable and talented.
One Piece live action. I needed something lighter after being gutted by Breaking Bad so I turned to this show. Am now obsessed with Roronoa Zoro.
I Read:
Pageboy, Elliot Page
Under the Whispering Door, TJ Klune.
Velvet is the Night, Silvia Moreno Garcia
I am Spock, Leonard Nimoy
The Entire Murderbot Diaries series re-read for like the seventh time. This is like my therapy. By Martha Wells.

headcanons/idk what splurge about mcd aaron & aphmau BECAUSE I SAID SO.
i need to talk about them because i just do. my thoughts on them need to be heard.
btw!!! typing this at work during my break so thoughs WILL be completely disorganized and there will be constant run on sentences!
first iā€™m going to talk about aaron because OH MY FUCKING GOD.
he couldā€™ve been such a interesting character if he wasnā€™t reduced to aphā€™s love interest once again and if jess and jason couldā€™ve shown more of his character.
i truly believe that jess was trying to do some shitty indirect characterization and flesh out his character by not outright saying it, but she done a really shitty job; the only reason why being her target audience at the time was younger and she didnā€™t want to expose them to more ā€œmature themesā€ or some shit.
aaron is not a well written character at all and tbh all i see him as is ā€œwoah, ā€˜sexyā€™ (not really) mysterious manā€ who has absolutely not character depth. i wish jess couldā€™ve delved more into him being a lord, a father and husband, and his vendetta against zane to give us more insight of his character. jess gave us little crumbs and pieces about him (like him being a broken human or some shit like that??? wouldā€™ve been cool if she incorporated some magic shit into that). heā€™s just so bland and boring and he needed so much more character development than he got.
time for aarmauā€¦
SO. first off, aaron and aphā€™s relationship came out of fucking no where. it literally feels like jess pulled that straight out of her ass hole because of how random it was to me when i was younger. once again, i believe that the reason for it that is that jess is really bad at foreshadowing and shit, so the relationship came out of nowhere (also bc jason is really weird but weā€™re not going to talk about thatā€¦). itā€™s just so weird that jess made their relationship such like, a secret thing, in s2 but gave it so much more light on s3 like we knew everything about it?? which i guess i can kinda excuse because she didnā€™t even like how she was taking it, but itā€™s still super weird.
ok, done with that ramblingā€¦now for headcanons about aaron and aarmau :3
aaron is in his late mid to late 30s, possibly early 40s
he is BUFF. like buff buff.
and tall, super tall. like tbh i think heā€™d be like 6ā€™5-6ā€™6
SCRUFFY!!! he has a little beard that he doesnā€™t have time nor the energy to shave off
actually kinda shyā€”heā€™s only seems so mysterious bc heā€™s traumatized and also pretty shy
i donā€™t wanna talk about him anymore so aarmau now
they were never in love.
yes i said it.
i wholeheartedly believe that they had a fling
aph was stressed w/ lillith, garroth still being in the irene demension, laurance struggling with the calling, the phoenix alliance, and the whole weird goddess powers shit that she needed comfort in someone
aaron was the one she chose
he understood loosing everything in less than a day, he understood her feeling if loss, so she latched to him
aaron on the other hand, was reminded of his late wife by aph; they acted so similar and there was just a touch of resemblance that drew aaron to aph
all of this mixed together led to and accidental kiss and hookup in the woods that night it was ā€œtook dark to go backā€
the kiss right before aaronā€™s sacrifice was not one of love to aph, but one final kiss to his wife that he wished he couldā€™ve gave to her
aph struggled with his death because she didnā€™t love him like a lover, but because she had lost one of her closest friends while garroth and laurence were gone: the only one who she believed could truly understand what she was going through
so sorry that was a lot šŸ˜­

OBX s4 ideas?
ā€¢ flashbacks throughout the season of stuff we missed between the time jump. maybe show us some jiara missing scenes, show us jarah starting up their surf shop
ā€¢ Rafe full villain mode now. with Ward being dead, there's no way Rafe won't blame Sarah (who he instructed to keep his father safe). I feel like Rafe will either go completely nuts or take a 360 turn as a good guy. good guy feels unlikely. he'll probably get that arc once he's done some more horrible things in the name of his father
ā€¢ vengeful Topper on Team!Rafe since ya boys now a full fledged arsonist tsk tsk
ā€¢ Kie and JJ are together, but they're gonna have a rocky season OR they're not together and we have to watch them work stuff out to go back to each other again. considering we already watched all s3 will they/won't they my guess is just a rocky season. jarah has been through too much for them to be the rocky relationship anymore and JJ is too damaged for their not to be difficulties to overcome. Kie's parents, for one.
ā€¢ jiara still be jiara. super casual about it all when with the pogues because they're still best friends, only when they're alone they get into a little more trouble ;)
ā€¢ the pogues all dealing with a little bit of a identity crisis. they're rich but still pogues and still treated like pogues for the most part, and they'll have to figure out where they fit in now as young adults
ā€¢ this is a longshot but always my dream: JJs mom comes back and turns out that Sarah and JJ are siblings
ā€¢ they'll a be dealing with adulthood now and it'll be weird for them. jiara and jarah will have to face how to be in a mature relationship where they both have jobs and lives, and they'll have to now deal with their careers getting in the way of treasure hunting rather than school and parents
ā€¢ JJ is going to try really hard not to screw stuff up with Kie and act on his natural self destructive tendencies and I think s4 might really focus on how damaged JJ really is, having to face those demons head on if he wants to really be with Kie.
ā€¢ I would do anything for some pure full-pogue crew scenes, all of them just together and living life, dancing, laughing on JJs new boat
ā€¢ Kie will still be working things out with her parents. she'll probably have some serious trust issues and probably a lot of fights.
ā€¢ Jarah gets legally married. I would CRY for a Jarah wedding oh my god. And JJ and Pope the groomsmen and Sarah and Cleo the bridesmaids and JJ crying as John B gives his vows ALSO crying and Pope's dad marries them šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I literally would cry so hard it needs to happen.
ā€¢ and meanwhile they'll still be trying to find Blackbeards treasure, which I am excited about because it isn't a personal treasure to find at this point. they're literally just looking for it because they love the hunt and they're a bunch of adrenaline junkies. there's no "if we don't find it I'll die of starvation" or "it belonged to my family legacy" mentality connected to it, so it makes the opportunity for seeing other characters growth much easier. I'm excited
ā€¢ the Pogues being like official treasure hunters now, and JJ makes jokes about their new team name (bad ones only) and acts like they need to do a vlog and share it to the world.
ā€¢ John B rebuilds the chateau with his new fortune and the Pogues still do most their hanging out there. JJ lives in his boat but he also docks it at John Bs dock and spends most his time annoying Sarah and John B, who I predict live together
ā€¢ this season will likely happen the summer before Pope goes off to school, so directly after s3 ends. OBX is known for taking three months max in a time span for a season and Pope going to school will complicate things. if the show got a s5, they would either have to time jump AGAIN or only take place in the summer so Pope will still be there for the treasure hunting.
ā€¢ Cleo and Pope will have to figure out what they really mean to each other, since Pope is going to school. my guess is the break up because of him leaving, but by the end they decide that's stupid and get back together.
what do you guys think will happen???

your favorite characters from attack on titan? and why?
oh em gee šŸ§šā€ā™€ļøāœØ i will gladly n excitedly answer this question (spoilers below cut)
iā€™ll do a top three lol
my fave character in the whole series was hange :ā€ā€) i lovveeddd them from the very beginning when i watched aot s1 in 2013 so its been a decade long love āœ‹šŸ¼šŸ˜© i cried so hard during s4 pt3 :ā€ā€) but yeee i just adore the nerdy scientific characters that arenā€™t scared of the imminent threat of the verse but rather intrigued and curious to almost a point of insanity lol. but i think the hange scene i loved the most was during midnight sun (BEST AOT EP EVER Iā€™LL DIE ON THIS HILL) is when mikasa is terrified of armin not being the one they bring back to life n hange says something like ā€œthere are people that i wish i could bring back tooā€ šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ idk that scene hit me rly hard n really quantified the amt of loss in aot i think
my second save character is reiner >:3 bc heā€™s so babygirl n i wanna make him my housewife. LOL jk naw but i HATED that man s2-s3 bc his whole multiple personality thing was such bullshit like šŸ™„ ok so youā€™ve killed sm of my fave characters but youā€™re still acting like a good guy??? go fuck yourself dude. BUT i started to get intrigued by his character when he was so committed to giving ymirā€™s letter to christa during shiganshina arc in s3 pt2ā€¦and then s4 rolled around and i fell IN LOVE W HIM. he was the only marleyan side warrior eldian that showed the right amount of remorse for what they did on paradis island, and although his backstory is so sad n its obv not his fault he was groomed into a war machine at such a young age, it was nice that isayama made him so guilty to the point of suicidal ideation. and he pulled THROUGGGH during the finale omg the scene where jean held onto him and said he is also a scoutā˜šŸ¼šŸ˜­ fuck yeah. also iā€™d like to impregnate him
my third fave character UUGHHH ITS TOO HARD THERES SO MANY but honestly i just have to say eren. i have soooo many mixed opinions ab erenā€™s character i could talk ab his character for HOURRSS but s1-3 eren was my BABY. my SON. MY SUGAR PLUM PUMPY UMPY UMPKIN. i mean he was pretty generic shonen protagonist coded lol but he was just such a sweetheart that was so hotheaded n determined to take care of the ppl he loved. it was always so easy to empathize w him on so many fronts n i love characters like that. however his character took an interesting turn in s4, and although i donā€™t agree w his actions in s4, i canā€™t say i didnā€™t want to see him succeed eitherā€¦super weird, i still donā€™t quite know how to feel ab the events of the rumbling (i mean i err on the side of it was incredibly evil of him) but the fact thereā€™s sm nuance to his character, regardless of whether i agree w him or not, means heā€™s one of my faves (we dont talk ab his character in the ending though. shhh. to me aot ends s4 ep28ā€¦sorry)
honorable mentions: armin, erwin, levi
least favorite character: zeke (die mf die)
YEEEEE THANK YOU FOR ASK BB i love talking ab aot <333 lmk what ur faves are if youā€™d like to šŸ‘€

ā€˜SENT TO THE GULAGā€™ IS KILLING ME
okay yes hop has probably atoned for his sins by now and his monologue at rock bottom was really good but it still pisses me off sometimes idkk. im just waiting for the payoff of seeing him actually DO better this timešŸ˜­
and exactly! the angst in s2 is like- messy- but thatā€™s good television! it gave us a top 5 millie preformance how can i even be mad
men in stranger things are weird sometimes cuz you have to overlook their CRIMES, (iā€™ll be like ā€œomg jancy!ā€ then i REMEMBERā€¦) itā€™s weird when a character is randomly at their worst for a scene or a season just to meet the storyā€™s requirements
jopper can scream at each other all sam and diane for nostalgia in s3 but when you look at it in a larger context itā€™s kinda dicey. like how weird of hop to doubt her when he already knows to trust her instincts.
and also itā€™s just like- nobody drags him enough for me! heā€™s so loved- male characters can do ANYTHING kinda- so i have to get him. out of principle. and i see that hopper (and like david harbour) is too important to kill off in the show and that him and elā€™s relationship isnā€™t all lows, not even in s2. i think iā€™m just bitter that 1. st tiktok treats el like she was SO unreasonable in that scene>:( (i need to stop going there it makes me want to rant on tumblr) and 2. how much time was devoted to bringing him back last season like my cali boys were so neglected. :( (after 2 failed prison escape attempts i was like (why i am still looking at this insanely bruised man) so-
but yeah i need to stop typing now cause i have a million thoughts in my head about hopper and the way that he is. and the way the show treats him. (how funny is it that even the viewers can have a complicated relationship with him. maybe iā€™m not giving the writers enough credit in that regard)
: )
-No like, I agree 100%. We forgive but we never forget
-I have a hard time even being really mad at Jonathan for the Incident cuz like, that was such a weird ooc moment that was clearly just so the plot would happen. Like he got possessed by the spirit of the writers to do that shit. And like I can't even be mad at the writers either because like, the plot they were servicing is really fucking good? I might be the only person in the world who thinks this but I think this show is phenomenally written esp from a plot structure perspective. Near perfectly even. Like this show single-handedly instilled a sense of how to do super satisfying setup and payoff, and how to have every scene push multiple things forward, and how everything seen on screen needs to be relevant to as much as possible. Its so tightly written that its like...yeah Jonathan had to do that shit. It allowed like 3 perfectly intersecting plotlines to play out. There was no other option. And like there probably was and maybe I'm coping or whatever but like...idk it's perfect to me :) But still we forgive but we never forget. And we only forgive after they display a marked change in behavior. And we still never forget <3 (side note: remember when El dumped him and Mike ((and Lucas)) went full andrew tate for a second? That's the one thing he's ((they've)) actually ever done wrong lmaooo ((tbf they were also 13 so like)))
-Who tf is saying she was being unreasonable??? child???? traumatized??? isolated in a tiny cabin for a year?????? With Hopper?????? A cop????????? HellO?????????? Bro ppl HATE her bro this needs to stop
-I think the biggest problem with the Russia plotline is just that it's not fun? Watching Hopper get tortured in a labor camp is not fun? I came here for 80s vibes, friendship and supernatural shit and it only delivers that whenever Joyce and Murray are onscreen (who are really fantastic together tho) and once the monster finally shows up way too late into the proceedings. There should have been inklings of monster throughout to add some intrigue and let us know that this was all going to have a point that tied into the plot of Stranger Things the 80s Monster Show. But alas.

REAL oh god dude i Hate s4 brella drama so much! it doesn't make sense at all!!! stella would not fucking say that ! aldhg it's so unfortunate especially since some people use it as "evidence" for her being a cheater or some shit like Please. and GOD who could say that about timmy šŸ˜­ he's literally one of the best specialists in terms of being a good person?? the weird mischaracterization tecmy go through just because they're nerds... nerdaphobia </3
and i completely understand!! like do i think canon flora would kill a bunch of people out of revenge or necessity? no. but are fics that explore how she could be driven to that point super fun? yes!! even with helia there are times where i put him in situations like it's so fun to microwave florelia
and yeah the difference between s3 nabu and s4 nabu is so weird! like,, i'd say he's still mostly the same but s4 nabu was also just genuinely perfect. he didn't have any flaws! and the few he did have you can very easily reason away (like impulsivity with proposing to aisha can be explained away with genuine love and hope for the relationship). but since he did have actual flaws in s3, it can make characterizing him really hard!! at that point it's like,, which characterization do you focus on since they're so different or do you try to merge them despite there being some key contradiction.. OUGH
s4 characterization is sooo weird honestly. i only specifically rewatched it bc i wanted to use the wizards of the black circle for an idea i'm playing around with and i just wanted to remember how they were, and the winx and the specialists are all just SO WEIRD. i heard that at some point the writers stopped using a show bible and it honestly feels like it's s4 that marks the beginning of that.
tecmy go through so much... i was talking abt winx with my bf and i mentioned tecna & they literally had never seen her and no idea who she was bc no one ever popularly talks about her. NERDPHOBIA IS REAL <///3 also microwaving florelia is such a good term for it adsljkfad
and yeah there's at least some contradiction in each of the characters' personalities but with nabu the discrepancy is SO prevalent. i need to rewatch s3 to better develop how i want to characterize nabu generally, but i think s4 nabu stuck in my brain harder after watching the show as a kid.

Whilst Iā€™ve lost faith in the writing after this mess of a season and Iā€™m not so sure about byler anymore letā€™s say Iā€™m still making connections and clowning and something else struck me as super interesting that I donā€™t think youā€™ve put it on the slides yet I mean it could be symbolism or itā€™s irrelevant and Iā€™m clowning but here goes.
In the pizza shop, right before Mike is supposed to tell El that he loves her, Argyle interrupts them with pineapple pizza and Mike is absolutely disgusted by the prospect of putting ā€œfruit on pizzaā€.
We all know that the word fruit has gay connotations and has been used in the show before for byler coding - examples being the rainbow apple logo in s2 and the supermarket scene in s3 with Mike and Will sitting near fruits.
Heā€™s literally like ā€œThatā€™s insane. Itā€™s blasphemous. Putting fruit on pizza.ā€
The choice of wording here is a bit weird. Like blasphemous? They couldā€™ve used any other word. But they chose that one. Itā€™s so odd how itā€™s something that fits perfectly if you view it through a queer lens.
Because homosexuality and being gay has been viewed as blasphemous from a religious perspective, a Christian perspective, and there are some people who still view it that way and itā€™s definitely a view that was even stronger in the 80s.
Mike saying that line could also be inferred as what heā€™s been told/what heā€™s heard about being gay considering his conservative family background too it would make sense. It would be something thatā€™s perceived as blasphemous.
Then, we have El, whoā€™s tried the pizza and thinks itā€™s good (not sure what to make of that lol but thatā€™s interesting), saying that he shouldnā€™t deny it before trying and her and Argyle basically trying to get him to try it. And in that moment they change perspectives and they transition to WILL when El and Argyle are getting him to try it which is so convenient. Mike refusing to even try fruit pizza and as heā€™s being convinced to do so boom focus switches to his fruity best friend in love with him ahem.
And as we focus on Will and Jonathan, the focus is completely off El, Argyle and Mike, you can still hear their voices in the background for quite awhile actually thatā€™s interesting and theyā€™re still struggling to have Mike eat the pizza as he seems very stubborn not to. You do have to wait awhile before they finally finally succeed and have Mike finally say ā€œno youā€™re right itā€™s actually goodā€ and thatā€™s when you canā€™t hear them anymore. They went off camera and dragged on the conversation until Mike tried the fruit pizza and he admitted it was good.
The queer reading here is that Mike is stubborn about performing heterosexuality and refusing to explore his own queerness refusing to even try shutting out every possibility of it because itā€™s insane itā€™s blasphemous the internalised homophobia is strong. However, it may be quite struggle and take some time, he will try the fruit pizza aka acknowledge his own queerness/feelings for Will and itā€™s definitely a good thing at the end of the day.
Like I said I donā€™t want to have to much hope because this season has literally ruined my hopes for the writing Iā€™m not sure where the show is even going but I couldnā€™t ignore this piece of symbolism of how it fit with all the other byler coding in previous seasons and I really needed to point that out even if it feels like everythingā€™s gone to the ground right now šŸ˜­
Hi!!
You could definitely be right about this!!! Great observations!!! If that's really how they meant it, that's pretty clever!
Everything does really feel like it went straight into the ground :( Everyone deserved so much better than what they were given in season 4. I'm still holding out hope, but currently feeling like I'm in a hole of shock and despair and nobody will tell me when they are going to let me out! LOL, maybe that was a bad metaphor. But anyways, you get the idea.
hope you're well! xx (i loved reading this so much btw)

Watching the Weird CGI Movie Because S3 Felt Unfinished Part 5:
#JusticeforthePeters
Bloom: I'm going alo-
The Winx: lmao no ur not
That scene was everythingšŸ˜­ they made fun of her self-sacrificing bs before she could even start. Also Stella booped Bloom's nose. Bloom giggled about it. Vey important
Tumblr media
Oh my god. Is that the first time they've shown the girls just enjoying flying around? That scene alone made this movie worth it for me
My "this should have been a season" opinion grows stronger. Less than 20 mins left and they're going to the pixie village? This was written by the same people wrote the main show isn't it? They're still structuring it like a tv season but super rushed
I was not expecting to be in pain over Musa this movie but ok
Me: I'm not invested in Bloom finding her bio parents
Bloom: PAPA!
Me: šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
That scene of Bloom being able to tell it wasn't her dad because he wasn't sneezing is as sweet as I remember, but I still don't forgive them for making her call him Mike
It makes 0 sense? She never did before. You know what would have been cool? If post reuniting with her birth parents she struggled to call them mom and dad instead. Could have tied back to her guilt about her search from s2
"Ready sis?" "Together" they are combining their powers Im šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
Uh. Where's Bloom's big hero moment? I swear I remember one. Why is Sky the hero here?
Back to happy thoughts. This dub did give me something for the parent thing. Bloom uses formal pronouns for Oritel and Marian and not for Mike and Vanessa. Still pissed about the name thing tho

The Pollywog
ST s02e03
Many thank-yous to @thepragmaticrebel @lucas-sinclairstan @thesnarkywillbyersfan for mentions this week!! ^_^ Iā€™m having fun going through s2 again, though I donā€™t know if my disorganized brainthoughts add anything šŸ˜…
Is this more Dustin than in any episode up til now? Feels like it. I like it!
I like his mom and I like him and his mom together, but I donā€™t know that I know what their whole dynamic is. Itā€™s a weird vibe?
Thereā€™s an impulse I feel, to say, Why doesnā€™t Dustin suspect something is up with Dart right off the bat? I joked yesterday about Hopper not knowing what kind of story heā€™s in. Is one part of the motivation to set a show in the 80s in the first place getting away from self-reflexive Genre Savvy tropes? šŸ§
Iā€™m just saying, I donā€™t mind that Dustin doesnā€™t connect this to the time he met a literally otherworldly faceless monster last year, but I have to think for a minute to get to not minding, and that annoys me a little, but that is not Stranger Thingsā€™s fault. Does that make sense?
Hopperā€™s talking about calories and getting fat a lot in s2, which in 2020 hits slightly different. (Than it does in 1984, I mean, not than in 2017. You know.) Iā€™m maybe primed to be sensitive to this because lately Iā€™m reading (audiobook) IT for the first time, and Stephen King sure is dealing in fatphobia a lot in Ben-perspective chapters...
Elā€™s been counting the days too :(
1984 was a leap year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.
ā€œI NEED MY PADDLESā€
Speaking of IT: surely someoneā€™s done this already, but Bob talking about his fear of clowns had me imagining a Bob Newby aged-down IT au fic...
Lumax are already bonding. Dustin never had a chance.
My parents used to listen to Jim Croce :) Weirdly the song when theyā€™re fixing up the cabin is one of the most personally nostalgic for me in the whole show.
ā€œThe donā€™t be stupid rules.ā€ ahem
uhm... Billyā€™s in this episode.
Steveā€™s never been a ā€œBad Guyā€ but s3 has really made me forget how much of a Chad our Steve kinda is before it.
...ack, okay, I typed that unkind thought and then Steve blurts out ā€œ[tell me] that you love meā€ Iā€™m sorry Steve I take it back.
ā€œUgh, heā€™s like a living booger.ā€ Well if Will coughed him up, I think that technically makes him living sputum... (sorry)
I do respect the herpetological nerdery happening here, donā€™t get me wrong.
Joyce punches back, protectively, for survival; Bob and Will wonā€™t. My dumb brain jumps up and says, why arenā€™t you thinking this protectively of Jonathan right now too, Jonathan wouldnā€™t either! ...except uh, *checks notes* when he does...
Jonathanā€™s had to grow up faster, though.
A flowchart forms in my dumb brain... something something, [growing up] -> [protectiveness/responsibility] -> [love] -> [stupid/crazy] -> [???]
[love] -> [stupid] -> [growing up]? & [love] -> [crazy] -> [love]? ?
idk.
Next time we see Jonathan he says, as Hopper already has, that things canā€™t go back to the way they were before.
It does make me mad, Nancy.
Joyce hanging up on Bob reminds me of Dustin hanging up on Mr. Clarke in s1.
Mr. Clarkeā€™s gotta have some idea some shitā€™s going on, yeah? Yeah?
Billy has still not died yet.
ā€œA bond? Just because he likes nougat?ā€ Eggos, Mike........ Eggos...
ā€œElaborate.ā€ A lot of the Party being not-stupid right now. (Iā€™m reaching. But)
I enjoy the way Dart slithers/bounders on new legs like a faceless lizardpuppy.
I get so stressed out by tv/movies when people juuuuust miss seeing each other.
Mike and Max are being actually kind of cute in this scene.
Iā€™m super-uncoordinated and have never learned to skateboard so, to me, skateboarding is pretty much an arcane magical skill.
Dustin! I am very nearly upset with you right now.
Will šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
