People who truly dislike Edwina Sharma are wild. Heaven forbid an 18 year old be charmed after being almost relentlessly pursued by an older man. Three married women, including her mother, are for the match. THE QUEEN is for the match. The only person saying he isn't right for her is her sister and like I'm sorry but my sister could swear that a man wasn't that into me and I would not listen if he BOUGHT ME A HORSE!???!!?!!

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo should've been one of the greatest bisexuals we've ever seen on cable television.

things I wish I could relive for the first time again:
that magical window where you finish a new piece of media, having watched/read it all by yourself with no fandom contact whatsoever, and you are just so happy about it, and full of interesting theories and takeaways, and just in love with it as a gorgeous piece of art.
because I swear to god as soon as you join the fandom for anything, you're bombarded with how you're supposed to view characters and their arcs, how you're supposed to morally and ethically judge the plot and the ways it apparently failed to present the right message, and if you don't you'll either be shunned for not sharing the popular headcanons or you'll be harassed for not criticizing the source material enough.
like how is it that the fans of a piece of media are also the ones being the most negative about it? If I like a show or a movie or a book, well, I liked it. That's kind of the point. I'm actually not here to tear it apart and talk about how it didn't live up to standards other people had! I enjoyed it for what it was, and forcing myself to find negative things to say about it doesn't actually bring me more enjoyment of it or reap any benefit to me. Fandom's a double-edged sword; you want to join a community to share your love for a piece of art, and the price you pay for a modicum of joy is a mountain of negativity. that's one main reason that I never engage with fandom until I'm completely done with a show, because if I was plugged into all of that commentary and discourse during the process, I'd be completely colored by how I'm expected to interpret everything this piece of art is presenting to me without being able to even form my own opinions.
#this is currently about arcane but it's also every fandom i've been in since the dawn of time#there is so much political discourse about how the show handled the piltover zaun conflict and class struggle and i just#like i don't even know what to say besides. art doesn't have to provide the correct answer you know#it's not asking you to accept their explanation as the right one. it's just presenting a story. a scenario. a nuanced one at that#which of course the internet is the enemy of nuance as we know#especially in arcane i thought it was fairly clear that the end wasn't the bright shining future anyone hoped it'd be.#was anyone right in their actions? did anything turn out the way they wanted? or was it just as messy and gray as real life#we're living in such a myopic time for art where it's believed every story must take the correct stance or be invalid or even harmful#instead of just offering a perspective. a lived experience. a hypothetical. a story.#and when it gets to be headache inducing all I can do is take myself back to how I felt when I watched the show for the first time#and I came away from the whole thing being incredibly moved and captivated by the entire story and its nuance.#i had no qualms and no criticisms and i was very impressed with the depth of storytelling surrounding the political parts of the plot#as well as the character arcs. i guess people like to dunk on viktor's s2 arc nowadays and i just. shrug. i was blown away by it#for me at least i have nothing but pure love and admiration for art after i've viewed it. it's only after interacting with fandom#that the criticisms seep in and now i can't unsee it and even if i don't agree with it it still muddies my ability to enjoy the art#fandom is a curse in that sense. like i seek out art that i enjoy. i have no desire to make myself dislike that art. whats the point#why are the biggest haters of a piece of media the 'fans' of it idk.#me finishing a show: wow i love all the characters and the plot and the cinematography! I want to talk to others about how cool it is!#meanwhile the fandom hating characters to the point of death threats to their creators#after 13 years in fandom i can say this - if you don't need to join the fandom for smth then don't lmao.#you'll be able to retain your genuine enjoyment of the thing.#that whole 'if you didnt like what i made then make your own' philosophy people use on fanfic/fanart should be applied more#to actual published art too. you should be able to meet art where it's at and if you don't like what it's saying or how it looks then#just move on and find something else. another branch of the 'the greatest enemy of the left is the left' tree imo#a show has a lot of queer rep? bash it to the point of making the creators go into hiding for not doing it how you think it should be#no artist will ever be able to satisfy everyone's demands. they just want to put their experiences and ideas into the world#creators that try to do good get more vitriol than those who never try. they're scrutinized harder and judged more harshly#it's just. one of those 'real fucking tired of fandom' nights. the best cure is just going back and rewatching the source material#all on your own and falling back in love with it. just you and your genuine connection with the art.#anyway what happened to steven universe was unforgiveable and it really ruined fandom for me. like. yall don't deserve nice things

this scott 3l rewatch it so so strange. i was right with my original notes, their relationship does not read nearly as scary from the scott pov and im really wondering why this is. My first theory was that it was an editing style thing or a background music thing or maybe the specific scenes that are missing but now that I’m really thinking about it I Dont Know

After "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" (bad episode only saved by the actors' performances), "LaFleur" is a nice change of pace. Good episode. Until the last three scenes. No. Noooooo. No no nooooo.
Like what the actual fuck was in the writers' minds when they decided to parallel the story of Amy, whose husband got killed while they were having a pic-nic, with Sawyer's, who had a less-than-a-month-long thing with Kate that he decided to "desert" because he didn't have anything back "home" for him. Like, this episode as well establishes that Sawyer is actually better off on the island than in the "real" world. It's like a second chance for him, he even manages to get his revenge and life purpose there. Deciding to stay on the island had something to do with Kate for sure, but it wasn't something he did for her.
Let's be real, I love me some Kate and Sawyer because they're super cool together but his relationship with Juliet deserved better, Juliet deserved better and we all know that.
"LaFleur"'s last three scenes are absolutely awful, I stand by my blonde queen in this case, he fucking asked her to stay, they fell in loveeee, he believed in her, she told him "we're already saved", grrrrrrrrrr!

I'm going to go out on a major limb and suggest that Nancy is a way likelier candidate of clocking what was happening between Eddie and Steve than Robin.
It seems like a lot of people assume that because Robin is a lesbian, she had some automatic gaydar for Eddie, but I don't necessarily think so.
Robin looks perplexed or pulls a face when Eddie flirts in front of Steve
In contrast, there are several moments in S4 where Nancy's reaction to a Steddie interaction is subtly captured. She is an aspiring investigative journalist and she is OBSERVANT.
A lingering hand, the close proximity to one another, the sustained eye contact...she sees it!
And lots of people thought that Nancy's smiley comments to Jonathan about Steve growing up a lot at the end of Vol. 2 suggested that she was back to thinking of Steve as a romantic option and I VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE. Their goals are wildly different and she knows that.
Rather, aside from just acknowledging that Steve was maturing and responsible with the kids, I think that was a very subtle allusion to the fact that she had clocked Steve "expanding his horizons" with Eddie in contrast to how he called Jonathan a queer in S1.

[ID: a digital drawing of lain iwakura from the series "serial experiments lain", depicted sitting in her room at night from a high angle, as different electronic lights illuminate the otherwise entirely dark room. She's depicted wearing her signature white nightgown, surrounded by computers, piles of routers, glowing monitors and cables, as she connects two cables together. The hour, as appears on a watch on the PC in front of her glowing in green, is 2:01 AM. end ID.]
Late night wiring.

// FHSY spoilers
Rewatching the end of FHSY and oh my god the moment where Cassandra goes "well, if you want to follow me, then I want to take care of you" is hitting me right in the religious trauma!! Like, growing up in a neo religious cult, there were so many rules for how to "worship properly" and the overlaying threat of imminent hell for breaking any rule, and even though I'm no longer practicing damn,, hearing it put so simply in such a way is making me actually sit here and reevaluate my life. Holy shit! The hard hitting one liners from Mr. Mulligan have done it again
