Anime Update V3 8

Vinland Saga S2 - The last two episodes were interesting in how the penultimate episode played out like a proper season finale, bringing an ending to the Ketil’s Farm arc that spanned the season, but then there’s one extra episode remaining and it plays out almost like a Series Fauxnale that also sets up where the remainder of the series will go should it continue past here. In the first, Thorfinn not only successfully avoids a violent conflict with Canute and is able to move the king enough to get him to withdraw all his forces from the land, but thanks to this, a change comes over Canute and how he intends to rule going forward, the ghost of his father hopefully haunting him no longer. It’s been building on top of itself all season but only now did it really hit me hard just how beautiful a character arc Thorfinn had undergone and how much more I’ve come to care about him and love his bond with Einar too. With both slaves free to leave with Leif, the finale gives us the long anticipated return to Iceland, and it was somehow the first time I’ve actually cried at anything on this show (Thorfinn and his mother) yet also contained some of the funniest stuff seen on this show in a long time (Thorfinn and his sister). I felt like I’d fully circled to the end when it all came back to the incident with the dying slave in Episode 1, and how Thorfinn now understands the full meaning behind everything his father said and wants to seek out Vinland in order to create a warm, peaceful, nigh utopian safe haven from the uncivil world that the Vikings inhabit. With a much needed shave and new hairdo, he’s ready to put together a crew and set out to do so. I hope we can see his future exploits animated some time later down the line, because in times like these, now more than ever, many of us need a place we can call our “Vinland.”

Hunter x Hunter - Ar last Gon and his friends are ready to infiltrate the palace and confront the Royal Guard in order to stop the selection, while Palm is still undercover, Netero is well prepared for his fight with Meruem, and Meruem himself is questioning his own existence and if his purpose really is what he’d believed it to be...

SHUFFLE! - I saw the beach episode where Rin and Sia end up getting washed away to a different shore on the other side of the island and mistakenly believe they’ve been stranded in another dimension and have to make out, which leads to the following episode where everyone is now under the impression that Rin chose Sia as his bride and are to be married soon. Sia is all ready to go for that but when she sees that everyone else is not so ready and may in fact be burdened by this, especially her demon bestie Nerine, she decides to call off the wedding and strive harder to win Ron’s heart the right way so that she’ll be the one he chooses. Basically I've been seeing a lot of Sia recently, and that’s never a bad thing. ^^

The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II - This week Waver had to visit a manor that suffered a loss of an important person and is now being haunted by what could be a supernatural murderer out to finish the remaining servants and the lord’s daughter who could claim his inheritance. The build up had some intrigue to it, but I wasn’t that enthused by the solution and how it turned the whole affair into an action sequence, though seeing Gray’s hood come off to reveal her full Saber hair was something I guess.

KonoSuba - And speaking of hauntings in manors, we get more of that on this show. Twice, in fact! First we get Kazuma and his party having to stay overnight at a mansion tended to by a female lich shopkeeper named Wiz in order to put to rest the spirits haunting it ever since her friend, the former owner, passed on. It goes as silly and not all that scary as you’d expect, but at least they get to keep the manor as their new lodging now. The episode that followed was even sillier, with Kazuma paying a succubus to give him a lucid dream where he can have whatever he wants, but the succubus runs late yet Kazuma misunderstands the situation and thinks his actual nighttime activity with Megumin is the dream, leading to all sorts of awkward comedy and him needing to save face in the end by lying about having been controlled by the succubus to act out in that way.

Symphogear XV - What I’d earlier figured was going on turned out correct; Fudou cast some mental control hex on Tsubasa to get her to serve his wishes, as she turned on her friends and took the now possessed Miku to Fudou, who planned on harnessing the godly power to galvanize Japan’s own power and even mentally enslave most of the population, for Japan’s “defense”. Maria and Fudou’s two sons arrive to stop this, Fudou kills Tsubasa’s father, Tsubasa reaches full power as she turns on her depraved grandfather and gives him the pummeling he deserves, and when the Noble Red girls infiltrate the place to break Shem-Ha loose, she reactivates her power and swiftly kills the three of them. At the end Fudou very nearly succeeded in getting Tsubasa to end things on his terms but thankfully Genjo intervened: the Kanzanari is going to move beyond the old monster, who can look forward to rotting in prison for his treacherous acts. During all this, Hibiki was having a productive and heartfelt talk with her dad; who has thankfully wised up and made progress in self improvement since we last saw him. He’s got faith in his girl to not give up on saving her beloved best friend, and so do I!

Eureka Seven - This episode was just kind of going okayish at first, with us meeting the bear-sized, Gonky scientist ex-husband of Gekko State’s own doctor. Then in the second half we see Dominic and Anemone again (yay!), we see Dewey again (fuck!), and we finally meet his much hyped up Ageha Squad…who turn out to be five prepubescent girls in matching attire. These kids are normally as cold and collected as they’re trained to be, even when shooting someone, but they get pretty hyper and over enthused with their work once they get down to it, and yes jt is as creepy and silly as it sounds. They lead an operation that drops a bomb of sorts down into where Scub Coral has nested, resulting in a sudden, confusingly fast paced and alarmingly gory attack on human civilization by a massive wave of Coralians! Both Eureka and Anemone can sense it and are pained by it, Gekko State reacts to it, the episode ends and I honestly had a hard time trying to figure out what had even just happened here. I was not prepared for this. This show is going mad now! MAD, I say!

Gintama - An episode all about Katsura, with the Shinsengumi present and on his tail, and we don’t even see Gintoki until the last minute. Katsura had to hide out in a ramen shop, lie about his identity, and help out the owner by learning to prepare more dishes himself. The twist here is the shop owner lost her father to radical exclusionist terrorists like Katsura, leading to her loathing such people who do such things, and she had a really good line that speaks volumes to how horrible terrorism is at achieving anything of significant value and worth to others, as it only leaves senseless mass destruction and more suffering in its wake, a statement very relevant to today’s world and to those who equate terrorist ideology and methodology to legitimate resistance. Katsura has a lot to reconsider about his life now, as even after he rescues the young woman from abductors, her life and his are not compatible.

AND

Code Geass R2 - Recent events also made me curious into going back to this show, which I’d not done since watching only it’s first episode last year and being reminded of why I wasn’t a fan. This one unfortunately did not win me over either. Showing how the cliffhanger ending of the first season got resolved in a laughably, insultingly underwhelming way was not a good start, and how Suzaku went on to act when he brought Lelouch before Emperor Charles was astonishingly out-of-character: he’d been furious and seeking vengeance before, not cold and valuing dominance to the point of selling out everyone who ever mattered to him! This did not feel like him at all! Kallen’s character also took a huge hit with trite tsundere humor at a place where it was not at all appropriate, and the publicized return of Zero and his Black Knights lacked so much power when it’s coming after only a single episode of us seeing a Zero-less world. It’s like instead of taking big steps forward to service the proceedings of the last season’s finale and possibly get this show afloat again after the stupid “Euphie dies, Lelouch lies, and there’s total Armageddon between Britannia and Area 11 all over what began with a bad taste joke” episode that led there, the show opted to take big steps backwards so that we return to a slightly altered version of the old status quo, in which we can only expect bigger and badder trainwrecks made to justify over-convenience in plot development. Oh well, at least Lelouch and C.C remain mostly pleasing to watch.

Today’s episodes really pissed me off

1. We paid to find out suresh/Finn/Dana are still into us and want us but this choice doesn’t matter for the plot because still we get suresh/lulu and kat/Finn super flirty with each other. And how both relationship are perfect and “steamy”. And basically we get narration they “moved on” from mc. (So if we don’t pay for premium scenes to find out a truth we really might think it’s true).

2. Gabi for sure wants suresh.

3. Our conversation with gabi and suresh didn’t change anything.

4. 5 months of dating when suresh and mc were a year together. It wasn’t just a rebound or a fling🤬

5. Meera and mc are Hannah and Lottie 2.0

6. Casa boys are the same aka no matter who you chose both boys have the same personality and plot line

7. We didn’t any moment to be alone with suresh

8. Finn being Noah 2.0

9. They still force alfie on us

10. Now we have to be super friendly with Dana and we are supposed to help her but no one helps us.

this is unfortunately very true and I thought this might be the case if I didnt pay for the Eddie gem scene. but wasnt sure if people didnt pay for it if you could still confront him on the terrace about liking MC. someone who hasn't bought the gem scene report back!

1000% and this is super annoying and an unnecessary plot line atp, we already had arlo, now Lulu, why are we constantly competing for this mans attention with women that we know dont measure up to MC in Suresh's eyes. at the end of the day, MC is who he ultimately wants so why are we adding in all of this unnecessary drama when we have 10 episodes left.

it changed nothing but it did give me a bit more clarity into their situation and it did confirm things for me...he never looked at Gabi as a relationship and I know that 5 months sounds like a long time but when you're just hooking up with someone it honestly really isnt. ESPECIALLY when you don't have feelings involved and when you look at it as a "brief fling". Gabi saw it as more..he didnt.

MC and Suresh were together for over year, their relationship was completely different. She met the parents, went on vacations, they loved each other. Suresh never said I love you to Gabi. It wasn't love. It was a rebound. I actually had an irl 6 month rebound and it truthfully does not feel like that long of a time when u dont have feelings for someone...so it happens!

Meera can kiss my ass...I cant wait to see her wack ass face next week when im still standing.

This is so wack...I wish FB would do better. We literally had no cast this season the very least they could do was give their different players different personalities and different routes.

BESTIE this HURT. HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE??? I said before I left for casa I wanted this man. I was loyal the entire FUCKING TIME. and I cant have ONE MOMENT??? HOW IS THIS EVEN REALISTIC????? especially after his speech??? I hate FB

ok that little moment we had with him def gave me noah vibes 🥹. I low-key loved it and can low-key see myself doing a finn route in the future

did they?? maybe I missed this because I was rushing to get a summary out asap. I want to replay this afternoon again and see if I pick this up

I told her I needed space from her and FB ignored my wishes of course. girly I dont care about ur issues with my ex's mistress!! and I voted for ur ass to leave! Scram!

an undetermined number of people you’d like to know more

I did away with the “nine” because I’m not tagging anybody anyway. I was tagged by my dear @emotionallychargedtowel.

last song i listened to

The last song I know I listened to is this cover of the Karate song “Gasoline,” which I really love and find cathartic. Pelican is an instrumental band and as such they don’t have a singer, so they enlisted this guy Chris Hansen from a band called Pinebender. He does a great job—his voice isn’t completely unlike that of Karate singer Geoff Farina, but he has a different, very affecting yell-y quality that really pays off when the song reaches its climax. And it’s a very climactic song / version of the song.

youtube

currently watching

Uncharacteristically, I don’t have one main thing I’m currently watching. I should soon. I just finished watching Not Me for the second time. I’m partway through the new miniseries of Justified. Like many people, I watched the first episode of Only Friends earlier today. Already a lot going on there! And this evening I thought I’d take a look at Gay Ok Bangkok per @waitmyturtles and I guess I got sucked in because I made it all the way through the show’s first season. Oh, and Jun & Jun.

currently reading

I’m near the beginning of Harrow the Ninth, which I’m finally picking up. I read Gideon the Ninth ages ago but I felt like I needed to reread it before I attempted the sequel. I got a new ebook copy of that one & read it on my July trip to Washington. I had bought a hard copy of Harrow in June when my colleague had an event for the release of her first novel; I wasn’t going to buy her book because I already had a copy by then, but I made sure to buy one book every time I went to one of her events. Another book event was my excuse to buy a copy of The Art of Fermentation by Sandor Ellix Katz, which I’ve wanted for years. I guess I’m also reading that, just very very slowly and not from beginning to end.

current obsessions

I often have at least one cooking obsession but the insane heat where I live has made that hard to keep up. At a certain point, food is barely interesting. Closest thing I've got now is tofu scramble.

Making cold-brewed tea in the fridge.

Fermentation, as per my reading material. I want to try doing water kefir soon.

I've wanted to make a scarf like Kaito's (below) from Zenkaiger since I saw it, maybe 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. ("Like" as in stitch pattern, though I'd probably also do stripes.) It just looks really soft. I have yarn brain at the moment because I'm scheming about yarn for this and a knitting project.

Probably my biggest current fascination (of a non-media-related variety) is mending things and practicing mending. My bestie is an avid thrifter who wears clothes to pieces, so I have a near-endless source of mendable items to practice upon.

Organizing, if something can be both an obsession and a source of dread.

Bix looking wrecked and singing to herself, disheveled and barely alert, alone, forgotten, frightened fingers lightly resting on the shuddered window of her prison; the light, the air carrying the sounds of distant voices, familiar and sweet flowing into the cracks of her busted mental castle.

I felt that.

I love Andor because you have epic monologues that include lines such as, “I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts.”

But then you also have...

“It’s Tubes. He’s my man. He tells me everything.”

Cassian really stuck all of his beloved besties on one ship and said “Climb” I can’t even with this show. What am I supposed to do with myself now??

No.2

Definitely felt the symbolism in Luthen, whose extreme competence we’ve witnessed all throughout the show not to mention his martial prowess last episode, spending this episode merely observing as the fires of Rebellion sparked on yet another planet. As the light rose. He went there intending to act, but in the end he quietly admired, still an orchestrator in the shadows, in the literal shadow of his hood, drinking in the words of the eulogy, seeing what he had helped to create whether he realized it or not because of Aldhani and the hope that it gave to Maarva Andor, That desire to fight, to stand up, to TRY as we hear Nemik’s voice say. Luthen lives in darkness in order to give other people light.

Luthen wasn’t really there to kill Cassian, not really, though he consciously thought so. He was there to have his faith restored, the faith he hadn’t even realized was faltering, that was tested with his unplanned confession to Lonni Jung and showed signs of breaking when he told Saw that he was no longer sure about sacrificing Anto Kreegyr... to be gifted the light that he so assiduously denies himself every day that he draws breath for the cause.

And then the last shot that we see of Luthen Rael this season is of him smiling at Cassian. A real smile amidst all of the fake ones that we’ve glimpsed on him and on other people all season long. He asks Cassian on a sigh, “What game is this?” because he is all about games. all of the time. He has to be. But not today.

“No game. Kill me. Or take me in.”

Cassian is the sun in his sunless space offering him another possibility.

And Luthen Rael smiled.

OKay but when Brasso was reciting Maarva’s words to Cassian and he paused and said, “I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong”, I felt that gut-wrenching sincerity from Brasso himself, whatever trouble he’s ever been in, no matter what money he ever owed him, Brasso always wanted Cassian to be safe above all else. This is like “As you wish” levels of love and loyalty. Ride or die.

Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 1 - Live Thoughts + Reactions

I wrote all of my thoughts and feelings in a notebook down and copied them here in case anyone is interested in my thoughts and feelings on S4 so far. It’s taken me a while because 1) the season is LONG AS FUCK, 2) I’ve been ill and 3) I’ve been at work, so… anyway, here it is!

SPOILERS BELOW FOR SEASON 4 VOLUME 1 (MEANING EPISODES 1-7)!

Episode 1 - The Hellfire Club

Oh damn, that opening 8-10 minutes though :O They made it look like Eleven straight up slaughtered all the other “numbers” (the kids at the lab) as well as all the orderlies

My theory at this point: Eleven was possessed by Vecna and he killed the kids/orderlies through her

It showed Will painting and I was like “oh that’s so for Mike” even though it didn’t show what it was exactly

I love Eleven, Will and Jonathan being siblings

“We’re all time travelers if you think about it”

Her visual aid for her school project was Hopper and the cabin :’)

Eleven saying Joyce enjoys her new job (seems that she’s a telemarketer???) and it showing Joyce just shouting “PRICK” down the phone

JONATHAN IS A FUCKING STONER

Let’s be honest, “California Dreamin’” may be the obvious music choice for this but it’s the perfect song so I ain’t mad

NO BUT I CAN’T BELIEVE THE BABIES ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL I FEEL OLD

Eleven saying she’s good at maths but “grammar is getting good also” kind of just proves that no, it’s not XD

NO BUT WHY ARE THEY BULLYING ELEVEN WHAT THE FUCK >:(

Not Dustin getting Suzie to change his Latin grade :’)

*looking at Jesus statue* “... I will repent later” LMFAO

STEVE AND ROBIN BESTIES CAN I GET A FUCK YEAH

As soon as they mentioned Vickie, I was like “that’s Amybeth McNulty’s character” and “SO SHE IS ROBIN’S LOVE INTEREST”

“You ask out a girl, she says no - big deal. Nothing happens. Maybe your ego’s a little bruised.But I ask out the wrong girl, and BAM! I’m a town pariah” - OOF TRUE

BOOBIES! B O O B I E S! BOOOOOBIES!

“I like boobies, you like boobies... Vickie likes boobies” - I WAS WEEPING WITH LAUGHTER

Nah but I ship Robin and Vickie already ngl

Max seems so depressed, which I wasn’t actually expecting. It makes sense given that she saw Billy (her stepbrother) die in front of her, but at the very end of ST3 (which was 3 months after his death), she and Lucas were laughing and joking around and teasing Dustin over the Never Ending Story thing, so I guess I’m still kind of surprised

I was trying to figure out why Jason Carver, the basketball captain, seemed familiar... turns out it’s because he was Chris Dollanganger in Flowers in the Attic in 2014... aka the guy who slept with his sister

My first impression of Jason is that he seems cute but like he’s probably gonna be a douche

Max wasn’t happy at all watching Lucas play :(

Is... Is Jason seriously using the mall disaster AND Barb AND Hopper to pep up the team/game???

“You’ve been on the bench all year” OOP

Me: *sees a box* // also me: WHAT’S IN THE BOX?!?!

A Russian Doll??? That’s all that was in that big ass box??? A creepy Russian doll?!?

The presentations El/Will are doing at school are on heroes... :( HOPPER IS ELEVEN’S HERO I’M CRYING-

NOT THAT GIRL TRYING TO PLAY FOOTSIE WITH WILL 💀 HE’S GAY HON HE AIN’T INTO IT

No but STOP BEING FUCKING MEAN TO ELEVEN WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LITTLE BLONDE BITCH’S PROBLEM

Also, Will’s presentation board was on Alan Turing... 👀

Oh Max went straight up full on depressed emo :(

Chrissy came out of the counselor’s office looking super upset... interesting

Max says that her mom is drinking and working 2 jobs, also Billy’s dad has fucked off and left them... On the one hand, that’s actually good because Billy’s dad kind of came off as an abusive dick bag. On the other, this poor family is broken :(

The counselor really said “it’s okay to not be okay”, she really used that line

“Maybe you should find something you care about too” - LUCAS SHUT UP BRO

“It’s like you’re not even here” “a ghost or something” - she’s literally depressed dude

Max and Lucas broke up?!?! Bad time for LuMax fans...

Oh no, she’s taking pills as well

A theory I had was Chrissy the cheerleader was pregnant because Max sees her being sick in the bathroom, she was upset coming out of the office, she’s in a relationship with Jason... IDK

WAAAAIIIIT WHO THE FUCK IS THAT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT WITH THE GNARLY ASS FEET

Not people trying to say D&D is the devil’s game and a cult

I won’t lie though, the Hellfire Club kinda scares me

So Eddie keeps flunking his senior year, am I right?

I love that Joyce and Murray are still in touch, that’s nice

WAIT NOT MURRAY STRIPPING

Joyce: *looking at the doll* Jesus... she has nipples // Murray: *sliding into the bath* *cheering and whooping* — I’M-

So... Jonathan thinks Nancy isn’t coming for spring break, but she was hoping to go but hadn’t told him?

Okay so it seems that Jancy still really love each other but they’re not communicating and it’s driving them further apart :/

Nahhhh, newspaper dude (Fred) is fucking WEIRD. He gives me a weird creepy rich preppy boy incel vibe

WHY DOES NO ONE WANT TO PLAY FUCKIN DND >:( I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY DND BUT NO ONE WANTS TO FUCKIN PLAY IT WITH ME

Now why is Chrissy wandering into the woods???

... why is there a clock in a tree???

NOT THE SPIDERS FUCK THIS SHOW I HATE FUCKING SPIDERS

Oooooohhhh okay, it’s a vision, that makes sense

Eddie and Chrissy in the woods together... he was straight up selling her weed I think

No but they seem cute, they apparently knew each other when they were younger and they had a nice little scene together

“...Do you have anything stronger?” - at this point, because I was convinced she was up the duff, I was like, “is she trying to get super high or terminate a pregnancy???”

Not El getting an F :( I couldn’t see what subject the paper was on but I think it was Math?? Meaning she was lying to Mike about being good at math as well as having friends and her grammar getting better

NO, STOP BULLYING EL I’M BEING FUCKIN SERIOUS NOT THE DIARAMA

THESE FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL ASSHOLES MAN

El is still missing her powers but she seemed to forget because she tried to use them on Angela and just ended up looking weird

Ooooh Angela’s in trouble :D Good on El for not saying “nothing happened”

“We’ll fix it together” - Will is such a good brother to El, oh my god

Okay but did Joyce REALLY need to drop a fucking bucket on the doll from a tree?!?

We already knew this but HOP IS ALIVE

Not Steve dating high schoolers after he’s graduated

TAMMY THOMPSON??? THE MUPPET SINGER??? THE GIRL WHO WANTS TO BE ALL NASHVILLE AND SHIT???

Steve: “Told you... muppet” // Robin: “Okay, she does sound like a muppet” - THEIR FRIENDSHIP URGH I LOVE THEM

VICKIE AGREEING WITH ROBIN I’M-

Vickie: “Totally sounds like Kermit” // Robin: “I was thinking more like Miss Piggy” - I FUCKING CAN’T

“I used to think she sounded good ‘cause I had this massive crush--” OOP ROBIN CAREFUL YOU NEARLY OUTED YOURSELF THERE

Brenda (girl Steve is with): “Wow, she sounds AMAZING, doesn’t she??” // Steve: O_o

Robin, sweetie, you have always been able to do better than Tammy Thompson, gurl

No but the Tammy Thompson thing is ten times funnier after reading the Rebel Robin book that’s set before S3 XD

ERICA YESSSS QUEEN JOIN THE NERD CLUB

Erica wearing the America flag is an iconic moment... “You can’t spell America without Erica” in-fucking-deed

Damn, Erica did NOT come to play around

Oh no, Lucas is playing in the final game but Mike and Dustin aren’t there to see it because they’re playing D&D, and Max didn’t show :(

MAX WAS LISTENING ON THE RADIO THOUGH ASDFGHJKL;

I just know Will would have been in the Hellfire Club and living his best life

Dustin and Erica team up for the win!

Jason missed bUT LUCAS SCORED THE WINNING BASKET JUST AS ERICA ROLLED A 20, SINCLAIR SIBLING EXCELLENCE

Max seeing Eddie and Chrissy... O_O

Is Special K cocaine or...?

Is Vecna making her see things again???

NOT THE MOUTH STITCHED TOGETHER WHAT IS WITH TV/MOVIES THIS YEAR AND STITCHING MOUTHS TOGETHER????

Is Vecna trying to possess Chrissy or...? Like, playing mind games with her to weaken her? Because in reality she’s standing in Eddie’s trailer just staring/blinking but in her head she’s seeing everything else???

NOT THE NIGHT KING LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER

SHE LEVITATING NOW

WHAT THE FUCK HER LIMBS JUST TWISTED AND HER EYES LEAKED BLOOD WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK

NAH MAN THIS IS FUCKING HORROR I’M NOT OKAY

Episode 2 - Vecna’s Curse

I knew Hopper was still alive because he was in trailers etc, but it’s interesting to see how he somehow survived

Ah hell, they all gonna think Eddie fucking killed Chrissy now

So... IS Chrissy dead? She’s not gonna rise as a zombie or some shit?

I feel like Will is excited to give Mike the painting but Mike is only gonna have eyes for El.... :/

No but why does Mike look like a fuck boi in that outfit?

I have no idea why I don’t like Mike anymore, I like Finn but Mike kind of irritates me and I don’t know why

“Just this painting I’ve been working on” - GIVE IT TO HIM WILL.

Why is it so awkward :(

Also Nancy didn’t show up to California for Jonathan :(

Argyle hugging Mike though lmao

“I heard a lot about your sister” - LMAO

I’m just convinced Will is in love with Mike :O

MURRAY IS IN CALIFORNIA TOO

“But I’m having this problem where it’s like, I should stop talking. I have said everything I need to say. But then I guess I get nervous, and the words keep spilling out, and it’s like my brain is moving faster than my mouth, or... or rather my... my mouth is moving faster than my brain. And it’s like I’m digging this hole for myself, and I want to stop digging, I’m trying to stop, but I can’t. And I’m doing it right now, aren’t I?” - Robin is a fucking MOOD I LOVE HER

Not Lucas drinking and being hungover, you’re like 15 dude

This town truly IS fuckin cursed, jesus christ

Dustin: Mike and me, no one was nice to us - no one except Eddie // Max: Okay, I mean, they said the same shit about Ted Bundy. Yeah, he’s like a super nice guy but then he’s murdering women on the weekends. // Dustin: So you’re saying Eddie is like Ted Bundy???

Oh no, not the Russians! 👎

“the elephant” - NO, I wish it was a real elephant THAT MASK IS FUCKED

Poor Will third-wheeling :(

I feel like Jancy are about to break up tbh

“Got me stressed and it ain’t even my girlfriend” - lmao I like Argyle

Oh no not Angela interrupting the date :(

WHY DIDN’T MIKE AND WILL HELP HER IMMEDIATELY AS SOON AS THE BULLYING PRANK STARTED-

NOT THE DUDE FUCKING FILMING IT

At least Mike tried to get them to turn the music off I guess?

How do these Russians know Hopper has a trust fund for Eleven? But also it has $40,000 in it??? Damn, Hop

What the fuck is Kamchatka? They said “hell”??

NOT CHRISSY’S BODY LOOKING LIKE SOMETHING PUT A DAMN HORROR FILM

Lucas pretending he only knows about D&D because of Erica >:(

“LET’S GO HUNT SOME FREAKS! FOR CHRISSY!” - I can promise you that she wouldn’t want that, my dude

Steve: Someone has to attend to the customers // Robin: Especially if they’re babes, right? *winks* - LMFAO

Robin is a certified GENIUS, of course she found Rick through the video store computer

No but if anything happens to that trailer park dog, I will be suing Netflix

Yes for Nancy telling the uncle’s side of the story!

Oh I just know Fred about to die

Victor Creel, hey?... sounds like lore time!

So apparently Victor Creel lost his mind, killed whole family, took their eyes/cut them out... and he’s in an asylum. Interesting

Kamchatka is basically a Russian concentration camp?

It’s the prison guard who sent the package to Joyce?!?

“I’ve been a total third wheel all day, it’s been miserable, so sorry if I wasn’t smiling” - poor Will :( I’m sick of seeing him third-wheeled by Mike and Eleven tbh, like if they want to date then fine, but stop third-wheeling literally anyone around you

Basically since S3, Mike has been kind of a shit friend to Will and he’s still a shit friend

Poor Eleven :( I wanna punch the kids who did this to her

I need Eleven to actually beat them up, especially Angela

OH SHIT, ELEVEN SMACKED THAT BITCH IN THE FACE WITH A ROLLER SKATING SHOE

Angela fucking deserved that lmfao, fuck that ratched raggedy ass bitch

No but Eleven has been SUPER violent this season, even without powers??

I SCREAMED WHEN EDDIE POPPED OUT BEHIND STEVE HOLY FUCK I LITERALLY DID SCREAM

Robin and Eddie were in band together???

Dustin: I swear on my mother // literally the entirety of the rest of the gang: yeah, we swear on Dustin’s mother -- LMAO

So... did Fred get in a car accident that killed someone, and he ran away instead of getting help, and then someone died? Is that what happened?

I DID NOT NEED TO RESEE CHRISSY’S BONES SNAPPING OR HER EYES POPPING AWAY

.... yeaaaaah, Hawkins is definitely fucking cursed, my god

This season is just one big fucking horror film, holy shit

So... is Vecna Victor Creel or is Victor another victim?

Oop Fred levitating, not again-

NOT THE LIMBS AGAIN NO NO NO

Sooo... Vecna is in the upside down world, right? Not ours?

Episode 3 - The Monster and the Superhero

... Now we’re in Nevada??? We’ve got Hawkins, California, Russia, and now Nevada??? We sure are travelling this season

OH IT’S DR OWENS, THAT DUDE FROM S2

“Everything that’s happened in Hawkins has been due to Brenner’s little pet” - NOOOO NOT THEM BLAMING ELEVEN

No but that makes ZERO fucking sense, the thing with Victor Creel was in the 50s??? And Eleven was born in the 70s I think???

LMFAO I GOT NO FUCKING SYMPATHY FOR ANGELA FUCK THAT BITCH

JONATHAN IS FUCKING HIGH MAN

Yeah, I don’t think Jonathan and Argyle were helping with the situation tbh

Jonathan waving, “Hi Murray!” :D

“...Why? What’s going on?” Oh, he’s fucking baked like a cake

Mike: She didn’t look fine -- oh fuck you, Michael

DEMOBATS NOW??? DEMODOGS AND DEMOGORGONS AND MIND FLAYERS AND RATS WEREN’T E-FUCKING-NOUGH

Not the fuck boi basketball team -__-

NOT LUCAS HELPING THEM

NOT FRED’S BODY FUCKING HELL I’M HAVING NIGHTMARES FOR WEEKS NOW I CAN TELL

Oop Nancy about to team up with the Dustin-Max-Steve-Robin gang

Mike put eggos out for Eleven at breakfast :(

El thinking she doesn’t belong anywhere kind of broke my heart, I won’t lie

On the one hand, I get where El is coming from, Mike seems super aversed to saying he loves her... on the other hand, these kids are like 15??? They’re fucking kids???

Not the police arresting El :( All she did was slap a bitch smh

Jonathan and Will being protective brothers of El is GOD tier content and I wish we had more of it

The guard is actually helping Hopper... but for a price of course

“Serial killers stalk their prey before they strike” - God, Robin is so smart

Robin: I don’t have a license // Steve: Why don’t you have a license? // Robin: I’m poor. -- LMFAO MOOD

Max: I can drive! // Steve, clearly thinking about waking up in S2 in the car whilst Max was driving: NO. NEVER AGAIN. ANYBODY BUT YOU

RO-NANCY RIGHTS I’M HOLLERING

I ship Robin with both Nancy and Vickie, she has two hands after all <3

Steve: ALWAYS THE GODDAMN BABYSITTER - and you’re always amazing at it, bby <3

Ohhhh there was some DARK shit going on in Hawkins when Vecna was choosing his next target; “I’ll tell them I slipped again” as a woman puts make up on over a bruise, “I can’t say no, he’ll leave me” as two teens get it on... jesus

NOT VECNA TARGETING PATRICK, ONE OF THE BASKETBALL BROS

Not Lucas lying again and being all anti-DND, smh you’re better than this Lucas

JASON IS AWFUL FUCK

They can’t seriously arrest Eleven just for smacking a bullying bitch?!

You know, I think El is a little too honest with some of her answers, and yet she’s not admitting that Angela was torturing her

NOT EL BEING SENT TO JUVIE?!?!

Murray being the worst airplane seat neighbour tho

Nahhhh Airplane food looks fucking NASTY, I’m glad I haven’t used a plane in like 20 years 💀

How’s Hop supposed to get away if he’s got a broken leg though???

NOT THE LEG BREAKING SCENE

“I don’t really have a filter or a strong grasp of social cues” - Robin is giving off that autistic vibe this season and I’m here for it

Do NOT tell me Steve has still got a thing for Nancy for fuck sake

Also, said it before, I’ll say it again: STEVE HASN’T TOLD ANYONE ROBIN IS GAY. He knows if he told people, it would upset her and lead to people harming her because it’s the 80s and Hawkins is homophobic. He could have because Dustin thinks he’s a coward/refusing to ask Robin out, and Nancy thinks he’s dating Robin, but he hasn’t. It’s a super low bar but given how Steve USED to be... we love to see the character development.

Lucas coming through and radioing Dustin to warn him

Max: Lucas you’re so behind it’s ridiculous - LMFAO

NO LUCAS DO NOT TELL THEM FUCKING SHIT I SWEAR

OH NOW WHAT THE FUCK-

Dr Owens again??? And they’ve taken El?

Murray and Joyce arriving in Alaska: “OH GOD, THIS IS SPRING???” LMFAO

Oh god, was Hopper trying to force his broken leg out of the cuff???

Is Nancy seriously jealous of Robin, thinking she’s dating Steve???

“ELVIS CLONED BY ALIENS” - LMFAO I NEED TO SHOW THAT HEADLINE TO MY MUM

Robin is a fucking genius for pointing out that ofc conspiracy theorists would have been the ones to document Victor Creel / Vecna

ROBIN CALLING NANCY A GENIUS??? <3

Robin: “We leave them alone for TWO HOURS 🙄”

So both Chrissy and Fred were seeing Ms Kelly... is he targeting kids in counselling? Is she working for him??? Or is he just using her and she’s totally unaware of any of this???

Of course they could make the rollerskate incident go away...

Wait, did Lucas misdirect the team to Hopper’s cabin?!?

YES, Lucas, leave the frat boys!

A way to bring Eleven’s powers back??? How??? But if it fails, she’ll never see her friends again???

So symptoms pre-Vecna-trance are headaches, nightmares, past trauma... MAX HAS HAD THOSE SYMPTOMS TOO :O

Noooo she heard Vecna’s voice????

AND THE TICKING CLOCK IN THE WALL???

If ANYTHING happens to Max, I’m sueing Netflix for emotional damage

Episode 4 - Dear Billy

So Eleven wrote a note to Mike but NOT her adoptive family???

Stop showing the twisted eyeless bodies, I’M-

They’ve got less than 24 hours to save Max??? No, Ma-am-

It took me a while to realise but is Jason’s name a Friday the 13th homage?

Not Jason stopping Erica from shutting her own front door and Erica calling Jason and Lucas boyfriends

Robin teasing Nancy over her Tom Cruise poster lol

Also Robin geeking out over Nancy’s stuff is so cute

Robin: *sees blouse* Please tell me you’re joking -- no but sAME

“It was you guys who saved me” - AND BOB! DON’T FORGET BOB, WILL

Max wrote a letter to Billy

SHE WROTE ALL OF THEM GOODBYE LETTERS, EVEN STEVE

“the armpit that is Mike’s basement” - LMAO

Max threatening to prosecute Steve if he stops her XD

Robin struggling to walk in high heels and hating her blouse/skirt is a fat ass mood lmfao

“This bra is pinching my boobs” - SHE’S WEARING NANCY’S BRA???

Ladies, is it gay to share bras with other women? XD

Robin spitting straight up facts and bullshit to get the asylum to let them see Victor Creel

“My boobs hurt” “may I call you Anthony?” -- LITERAL TEARS

“Because nobody takes girls seriously in this field, they just don’t. We don’t look the part or whatever” - DAMN SHE ON FIRE

NO BUT THAT ACTUALLY WORKED

Robin and Nancy’s little secret Low-Five was ADORABLE

As soon as Yuri said bears got into cockpit, I knew he was joking XD

Is he seriously going to handcount $40,000

Russians in this show are either plain evil or pretty chill lol

Hopper blowing up the tool shed and stealing a snow plough is icon behaviour

“Things got batteries in it?” “... I’m not even answering that question” LMFAO

The scene between Max and her mom :(

NO NOT THE VISION

WAIT SO HER MOM WASN’T EVEN THERE SMH

Oh, Robin slipped up with the name of the professor :O

No but why am I so nervous about this omg

Why are these prisoners in fucking jail cells though

OH NO NO NO HIS EYES ARE GONE, HIS EYES ARE STITCHED, HOLY FUCKING FUCK

No, Will, you haven’t been a total jerk???

“Hawkins is not the same without you” - damn straight, Mike, maybe fuckin act like it

WILL BRINGING THE PAINTING

OH SHIT THAT’S NOT ARGYLE

“Oh my god, why’s that guy holding a gun?” “DRIVE!”

Hopper’s going round with no shoes on, how’s he not got freaking frostbite

OH YURI YOU DOUBLECROSSING LITTLE DICK HOLE

HE’S TURNING JOYCE AND MURRAY AND THE GUARD IN?!?

HE DRUGGED THE COFFEE FUCK

I KNEW IT COULDN’T BE THAT SMOOTH, FUCK THIS SHOW MAN

The cemetery... to see Billy, I assume

How is Max so chill about being close to death, omg

Creel: “Survived? Is that what you call this?” = ... Ooof.

FLASHBACK LORE TIME

So to sum up the bullet points I wrote in my book: Victor, his wife Virginia and their two kids - son Henry, daughter Alice. NOT THE SPIDERS AGAIN. Demon using a wheelchair??? What was up with the baby crib on fire??? Cursed home, town AND family. Killed wife first, so he tried to save kids; not the baby burning to death in his vision; both kids died?

So with his whole family dead, he tried to join them by gouging his eyes out and OH MY GOD NOPE NOPE NOPE NIGHTMARE FUEL

This season is so fucking dark omg

Interesting to note: all he said about Henry was he was a sensitive child and that Henry was in a coma for a week before dying, but the flashbacks show more Victor/Wife/Alice than Henry... hmmmm

Ooop Ronance have been caught

Max reading her letter to Billy had me crying

I’m still not sure how I feel about Billy because he kind of redeemed himself at the end of the last season, but also he was definitely abusive to Max... I feel sorry more for Max’s sake I think

“We could’ve become good friends like a real brother and sister” “maybe we could try again”

“for a while I tried to be happy... normal”

“love your shitty little sister, Max” - oh I was crying BAD

TELL ME MAX WON’T DIE PLEASE

NO NOT HER GOING INTO A TRANCE

IT’S NOT REALLY BILLY, RUN MAX

So music is the key/lifeline...

Also it makes sense that Robin, someone who’s in band and who’s said her ears are “little geniuses” was the one to figure that out

“It took me six months longer to walk than all the other babies” OMG ROBIN SAME I THINK???

All the people Vecna killed are in the upside-down-mindscape-place just rotting

Noooo he’s levitating Max

Max hearing the music and thinking about Lucas/Eleven/her friends :’( and it snapping her back/helping her

“Running Up That Hill” about to top the charts again, I can tell 👀

Max is okay thank fUCK

Me, seeing the credits: ROBERT ENGLUND??? FREDDY KRUEGER DUDE??? (he played Creel)

Nahhh not me crying over this episode

Again, Max’s storyline feels like a metaphor for depression/suicice/recovery and it made me emotional

Episode 5 - The Nina Project

“We’ve gotta get him to St Mary’s” “I don’t think a prayer is gonna help” “I MEANT THE HOSPITAL”

Who the fuck is Nina

Argyle: *panicking over dead dude in his van* // everyone else: GET OFF THE ROAD

Oh no they found Eleven’s note to Mike… why’d that idiot throw it away anyway, boyfriend of the year huh 🙄

I’m not sure if I trust Dr Owens or not tbh

Massive door in the middle of the desert is hardly conspicuous tho

Ohhhh Nina is a machine

DR BRENNER?!? That dude’s still alive???

Eleven rightfully running away from him, 🤦 also, not the “papa” “daughter” comment

Yeah no I don’t trust this plan of theirs to get her powers back, it might work but they’ll make her their puppet again

Wait were they using a mace on Hopper?!?

The gang all asleep :’)

Dustin fell asleep on “Max Watch”

Ted: Could try sticking together at a different house for a change — LMFAO HE’S RIGHT THO

Max and Holly having a crayon morning is so adorable though

Not Dustin scaring Holly by telling her about Freddy Krueger 💀

Max using drawings to show what she saw, just like Will has in the past

It’s the Creel house?!?

DID THEY RESHAVE ELEVEN’S HAIR? After she’s spent like 3 years growing it out?!?

(I’m aware MBB didn’t shave her head again, it’s probably something like a bald wig cap or whatever)

She’s clearly having a vision about being back in the rainbow room so maybe… ?

JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER??? VOLTURI CAUIS I THINK??? YOUNG GRINDELWALD??? (I knew he was in it but I still got excited seeing him)

Yeah no this is a vision

Argyle panicking/flipping out is a mood

Will talking about how scary it is to open up to it if they don’t like the truth… he’s totally gay for Mike, I’m sorry-

The number was in the pen???

Everyone calling Joyce, Hopper’s “woman”

Hopper fought in a war… Vietnam? And he’s talking about how a bunch of guys he fought with went sterile or something because of the chemical agents??? “crooked spines, eyes popped out” - like Vecna victims, holy fuck

Hopper talking about Sarah :( And then also talking about El and Joyce :’(

“Everyone I love I hurt” - HOPPER STOP

Hopper saying he wasn’t cursed, he is the curse T_T

I’m not being funny but at this point I don’t trust any of the cops, agents, special forces, doctors etc.

Chrissy’s funeral :/

Ohh Patrick’s having visions now

NOT THE DND = CULT SHIT AGAIN

Steve: (at the Creel house) ...yeah, that’s not creepy

Robin just chucking a brick through the window of the door though

Dustin to Steve: Do you need to be told everything? You’re not a child.

Nahhh but why they all dunking on Steve :(

Murray fighting only kids in karate though lmfao

Tiny Eleven T_T

Oh the switching between current and baby El though

So the Nina project is named after an opera I think?

Sooo they’ve basically put Eleven in a giant sensory tank?

The only hacker they know... is Suzie

Come on, someone help Eddie :/

Dustin’s British Sherlock accent XD

NO NOT SPIDERS IN JARS AND ON STEVE I’M FUCKIN DONE

“Platonic with a capital P” :D

Bless Steve, he’s trying so hard

The chess set in the Creel house kind of looks like the chess set in the Rainbow Room

So there’s a “002″... What about “001″?

It’s honestly just depressing seeing all these kids aged like 3-18 with shaved heads and going “me me me” wanting to impress Brenner

WTF WHY ARE HER HANDS SO BLOODY

“She’s going into arrest” - SO FUCKING PULL HER OUT THEN JESUS H CHRIST

Not Murray doing a whole Kung Fu monologue T-T

Oof the plane fight scene though, Murray actually beat the shit out of Yuri omg

Oh no, the plane’s gonna crash?!?

Vecna’s in the Creel house but “on the other side”...

Steve is just so fucking done and I don’t blame him “we won’t be able to see if we turn out our flashlights???”

Robin: It’s an attic... of course it’s an attic

Eddie paddling on the boat to try and escape the basketball guys

Not Jason swimming to the boat???

Ooh the upside down transition from House to Vecna

Oooh he’s got Patrick!

And yep, NOT THE TWISTING/EYES THING AGAIN HOLY FU-

Eleven smacked Brenner, like he deserves

Wait, so they DID shave her head???

RIP Eleven’s hair

HER POWERS ARE BACK???

... Nevermind.

Noo not her going with him, not the “papa” “daughter” crap again >:(

Episode 6 - The Dive

Will Jason believe Eddie is innocent now or...?

“Eddie’s a vessel for Satan” - ... nevermind

DID VECNA JUST KILL A FISH

Now who the fuck they torturing- oh wait it’s the agent from the California house

Why is Brenner comparing El to a stroke victim? I mean I get his analogy but also the hell??

I feel so bad for El, guys, I wanna hug her - just let her live a normal life ffs

The gang don’t even know Eddie had to run :(

Noooo not them all blaming Eddie T__T Poor Eddie

Argyle: I can’t feel my butt

THAT KID FIRING AN ARROW AT MIKE LMFAO YOU GO TINY LUNATIC CHILD

What IS this place? Suzie lives HERE???

Argyle has a thing for Eden???

You know, when they said that Suzie comes from a super religious Mormon family... this wasn’t exactly how I imagined them

Welp, at least Joyce and Murray are still alive

LMAO they tied Yuri up

Murray mocking him XD

LMAO at them threatening to leave him to freeze to death/get eaten by animals-

“This is it, American, I hope you’re ready”- FOR WHAT?!

For...a meal? Is it poisoned??? Fattening them up???

Ohhh fattening them up for a fight (with a demogorgon?)

OH SHIT THEY ARE DESCRIBING A DEMOGORGON

Hop: So enjoy, boys. This is your last meal -- DAMN

Not Jamie Campbell Bower jumpscaring me AGAIN

“You remind me of someone I used to know”...001? Brenner said he didn’t exist but the orderly JCB is playing was with him...

THEORY: THE ORDERLY IS 001

Another Theory: 001 IS HENRY CREEL

Okay but why exactly is he telling Eleven all of this? What is he hoping to gain from this? I’m getting bad vibes from it

No but Steve saying he made Skull Rock a popular make out spot is so funny

Lucas said that Patrick was abused - Vecna is definitely targeting those with something in their lives haunting/traumatising them

Robin calling birds beautiful

Is Robin really trying to get Steve and Nancy back together? -_-

I still ship Robin and Nancy tho lmao

They’re “officially” friends :)

Hawkins getting mad at the police, fuck the police

Jason gatecrashing the town meeting with his cronies

Ohhhh he’s telling them it’s satan/cults/sacrifices and that Eddie is leading them, blaming all bad things on a cult

Erica: THAT’S BULLSHIT! THE HELLFIRE ISN’T A CULT, IT’S A CLUB FOR NERDS - YESSS ERICA

Mike, Dustin and Lucas’ parents seeing their kids in the club “cult” photo: O__o

That one dude leaving the town hall truly didn’t waste time, he went straight away

So they’ve told Suzie it’s a video game console...?

She knows Dustin’s birthday to the exact day/exactly how long it is until then 💀

Oh her dad took her computer away because she’s dating an agnostic

Erica: Yeah, no, they lied to you - lmao

Now why is Karen calling the cops on their kids???

Surge of energy = Vecna attacks

Steve: Cursed? No, he’s fine. Just mental.

Dustin: I was right, Skull Rock IS North! // Steve: ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW???

Oh, it’s the compass/magnet/field thing!

“So either there’s some super big magnet here, or--” “There’s a gate!”

“I say you’re asking me to follow you into Mordor... which, if I’m totally straight with you, I think is a really bad idea. But, ah, the Shire... The Shire is burning” - HE’S SO NERDY, THE LOTR REFERENCE ASDFGHJKL; I LOVE IT

Dustin’s excited bouncing XD

Steve: What is Mordor?!? - LMFAO

Damn, these number-kids straight up beating each other to win this game

So 002 is the big bad bully of the group - I’m assuming he’s the oldest (since 001 is “a myth”) and most developed powers-wise

Oh, Eleven kicked 002′s ASS

Murray: Oh Jesus // Yuri: Hey, not in a church

Joyce: You’re gonna be Murray... // Murray: And I’m gonna be Yuri -- OMG

Oh, a prison brawl! All so Hop could pick the guard’s pockets and get a fuel and lighter

“My ribs are broken, don’t make me laugh” LOL

Oh they snuck into Suzie’s Dad’s office

“Holy sh- HECK!” LOL

Jonathan: What’s the internet? // Suzie: Don’t worry, it’s just gonna change the world

Damn, Suzy’s parents got a lot of kids

Mike: Can you print this? // Suzy: No, my skills end at IP Geolocation -- LMFAO

ARE ARGYLE AND EDEN GETTING FUCKING STONED TOGETHER

Is the gate in the lake???

Dustin: Who put her (Nancy) in charge? // Robin: I did -- ICONIC

Steve done with being a babysitter lmfao

WTF WHO’S SCREAMING IN THE LAB- THE ORDERLY??? WHY THEY DOING THAT TO JCB ORDERLY

Why are they bullying her in the Rainbow Room??? 002 super nasty

Ohhh it’s the thing from the opening

I NEED to know what happened

“I killed them, Papa, I killed them all” - Jesus Christ

“Wonky with a Waaaah” - LOL

NO STEVE DO NOT RISK YOUR LIFE BRO

Not Robin smirking at Nancy looking at Steve stripping lmfao (same tho nancy)

Lucas: Urgh, since when did Steve get so hairy??? / Dustin: Right? I keep telling him he needs to tame that jungle but he claims the ladies dig it -- AND STEVE IS RIGHT, LET MEN BE HAIRY

Max going “let me see it” and taking the binoculars followed by the silence... SAME

Steve’s not even THAT hairy????

Dustin: You guys realise there’s a gate down there....it’s technically a watergate” - NOT THE PUNS

You know, I’m not sure Steve needed to be shirtless but... not complaining. Also, it would have made more sense to strip ALL his clothes, no?

Damn, how long can Steve hold his breath for

HE FOUND THE GATE GOOD FOR STEVE

NO NOT THE TENTACLE FOLLOWING HIM UP

Steve jumpscared me coming out of the water lol

JESUS IT DRAGGED HIM UNDER

NOT STEVE AND NOT IN THE UPSIDE DOWN

IF HE DIES THEN I AM ACTUALLY FUCKING SUING NETFLIX

Nancy jumped in after him :O

AND ROBIN TOO YES

AND EDDIE OMFG YES YES YES

DEMOBATS HOLY FUUUUCK

HE BEING STRANGLED AND ATTACKED

NOOOO YOU CANNOT END THE EPISODE THERE FUCK OFF FUCK RIGHT OFF

Episode 7 - The Massacre at Hawkins Lab

IF STEVE DIES I FUCKING SWEAR-

Yesss RoNancEddie to the rescue!

STEVE STRAIGHT UP PULLED THAT BAT APART JESUS IM FUCKING WET

“Only took like a pound of flesh” I’m-

Omg Steve ACTUALLY winning a fight???

Robin: Great... More running -- SAME

The episode title… 👀 also it’s 1hr40???

Who’s really the worst here - Americans or Russians? They’re both torturing people so 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Cause you missed your daddy-daughter time” - OOF YEP HE REALLY CAME FOR BRENNER LIKE THAT

At least Dr Owens feels bad and says she’s traumatised/frightened… ?

“You talk of monsters and superheroes… that’s the stuff of myth and fairytales” - I mean, she literally had superpowers and fights monsters, my dude

I want to know what happened during the massacre but also I’m sad, leave Eleven alone :(

I have to appreciate how bad the whole gang are at lying lmao they can’t get their stories straight even sitting next to each other

Erica calling them out for lying XD

Questioning them one at a time and they go for Max first when she isn’t even in the Hellfire Club :/

Is Steve going to stay shirtless because… I mean… I’m not complaining

Robin rambling when Steve collapsed and was losing blood 😂

Steve’s “Robin… I kinda wanna punch you” as she was rambling and saying shit about how he can tell her “shut up I wanna punch you” if she starts rambling 😂 Besties

I think Steve and Nancy were both enjoying her treating him a little bit too much… 👀

Steve: I highly doubt the Hawkins PD has grenades — 😂

Nancy: And a revolver // Steve: you almost shot me with one // Nancy: you almost deserved it — is this show really trying to push them back together I’m-

Not Eddie throwing Steve a shirt “for your modesty, dude” 😂😭

NO BUT HIS CHEST IS STILL SHOWING

“It must be hardwired into us to reject our fathers” - OOF

“That monster is part of something that wants to kill El” 😭

“Maybe I can still help El - even if it’s the last thing I do” — BRB IM CRYING

Murray pretending to be Yuri is comedy gold lmfao 🤣 he got the annoying “I’m joking” mannerisms down tho

“Anymore headaches? Nausea?” - VECNA SYMPTOMS ALL OVER AGAIN, and this is BEFORE, this is in the rainbow room???

Not a lesson about rules for the kids…

Eleven got a concussion from 002 and the others???

002: She must have fallen. You’ve seen her, Papa, she’s clumsy, stupid” - NAHHH KILL HIM

“Collar him” - the fUCK?!

Does the collar subdue their powe- IT ELECTROCUTES THEM?!?!

Oh shit Brenner keeps turning it up 😭

Eddie comparing Steve to Ozzy Osbourne 😂😂😂

DUSTIN WORSHIPS STEVE OMG OMG OMG

“These ladies came straight in after you” - of course, he’s worth it :3

Not Eddie also trying to set Steve and Nancy back up??? Saying it’s true love??? No thank you?!

Robin: “okay, second on my list of least favourite things: earthquakes! I’m unsteady on my feet as it is” - LOL

“Here’s the deal, either you tell me what’s happening - or I tell Dustin what I found under your bed” - WAIT WHAT DID ERICA FIND UNDER LUCAS’ BED-

Erica raised an essential question: who opened the gate? El opened one, the Russians opened another… who opened the water gate?

Also why does Vecna kill people? For what purpose?

He’s making a powerful psychic connection with each kill… enough to make more gates…

So Demogorgon = foot soldier, Vecna is 5 star general to mind flayer??? Who can open gates and shit???

“Might be time to get a maid, Wheeler” — OMFG

No but did Nancy REALLY think her guns from the normal world are in the upside down-

“There’s a six year old in the house, I know where I keep my guns” - I guess at least she’s careful but still…???? Maybe don’t keep guns in the house with a 6 year old running about

Her study cards from S1, the wallpaper, stuff she threw out…

November 6 1983… when Will went missing in Season 1! 🤔

So they’re not in the present, they’re in the past??? The upside down past???

Just like Will found a way to speak through the lights, the teens do too!

Ohhh Eddie knows SOS / Morse Code - it’s just pure luck that one of the gang in Mike’s house also knows morse code 💀

“Hey, remember when I said they wouldn’t be stupid enough to go through Watergate? I overestimated them” — LMFAO

“…and you have many screws loose” - I laughed more than I probably should have

JOYCE SEEING HOPPER

Not the other numbers glaring at El 🤨

Wait so 002 is in the infirmary but when he’s out, the numbers are going to kill El and “papa” will let it happen?!! “He wants it to happen” — yIKES

Not being funny but the Jamie Campbell Bower orderly giving me the bad vibes. “You must do exactly as I say” - ummmm???

No but did the lab security/CCTV not see him give her the damn keycard?!?

Not the kids stealing Holly’s toy to communicate with Steve/Robin/Nancy/Eddie 😭

Robin calling Dustin a “genius child”

There’s a gate at every murder site… so 1) Eddie’s trailer, 2) the road where Fred was killed, 3) the lake?

Steve (about Dustin): Jesus Christ, this kid’s got to get his ego in check — LMFAO

No but I kinda hate the current Hawkins police, especially Officer Callahan 💀

The upside down transitions are super cool omg

Nooo the demobat saw them 😶

Okay so now we’re on the day of the massacre… oof let’s go

Okay so 011 was colouring in that opening in E1, and I went back after this episode to see if you can see her colouring in the opening of E1 and there’s not focus on it obviously but yes, she’s in the background/briefly seen colouring!

The orderly said “still hurting her” — they hurt her before? Is this to do with Vecna choosing traumatised victims?

Nahhh Jamie Campbell Bower STILL jump scaring me 😭

He mentions lab vents that lead to the woods… is this how she escaped in season 1?

Wait, why would Brenner put a tracker inside the orderly???

“What if I made it go away? You help me, I help you” - OOF

Aaaand back to Hop and the Russians

DEMOGORGON TIME

Not Hop getting the fire and fuel ready… only for it to not work 💀

Dmitri(Enzo guy?): tElL mE tHaT’S nOt oUt oF fLuId

WHY DOES THE DEMOGORGON STILL MANAGE TO JUMPSCARE ME ARE YOU SERIOUS-

YESSS HE GOT THE FLAME LIT

Oh shIT THAT DEMOGORGON TOOK THE GUY’S FUKIN HEAD CLEAN OFF

THAT FIRE WONT LAST FOREVER THO WILL IT LETS BE HONEST

Joyce got the doors open!!!

Oh shIT ITS STRONG AND MANAGED TO STOP THE DOOR CLOSING WHAT THE FUCK-

HOPPER THROWING A SPEAR DOWN ITS THROAT JESUS CHRIST

The Jopper reunion 😭❤️ they hugged I’m-

Wait, isn’t the Upside Down air toxic??? How are the four of them still fucking alive???

Oh thank got it’s just Dustin on the other side, I thought the agents would be there in Eddie’s trailer

Eleven really pulled the tracker out of the orderly’s leg like she did that piece of mind flayer that was in her leg in S3

…oh, I don’t like the way the orderly suddenly just looked evil, like he was smirking almost

“Who knew something so small could cause so much trouble” — UMMMM 🚩🚩🚩🚩

THE ORDERLY HAS POWERS, HES FUCKING 001, I FUCKING KNEW IT

HES THE ONE WHO KILLED THEM ALL, I’M-

Eddie: Those stains are… I don’t know what those stains are — UMMM?!? O_o

OMG THE PHYSICS OF THE ROPE THROUGH THE GATE THATS SO COOL

The climbing up to sliding down is super cool omg that kinda looks like fun

NO NANCY FELL INTO A VOID/TRANCE ARE YOU SERIOUS

NOT BARB’S DEAD CORPSE

THE POOL FILLING WITH BLOOD

OOP massacre flashback time again

YEP, 001 really killed them all

All of the bodies look like Vecna’s victims’ bodies… is 001 also Vecna???

SOMEONE PLAY SOME DAMN MUSIC FOR NANCY

“How was old, dumb, blind Victor? Did he miss me?” - OH FUCK I HAVE CHILLS

WAIT WAIT WAIT… JCB’s Orderly = 001 = Henry Creel = Vecna???? DAMN

NOT THE BLACK WIDOW NEST FUCK THIS

NOT HIM WORSHIPPING SPIDERS, HES FUCKED, that’s immediately a sign he’s evil beyond help

So all the numbers at the lab - including 011 - are copies of 001/Henry Creel/Vecna???

So Eleven got blood on her outfit from being thrashed about on the floor, NOT from murdering other kids

He tried to kill her/twist her limbs/made her eyes bleed… Vecna victim signs AGAIN

ELEVEN SENT HIM TO THE UPSIDE DOWN JESUS

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT

SHOWING HIM TURNING INTO VECNA IM-

So just to make sure I’ve got it right: Henry Creel (Victor’s son) didn’t die, he was the original (001) with natural born powers, he killed his family/did some weird spider-and-Satan worship, the doctors at Hawkins lab said he died but in actuality used him to create copies (002, Eleven etc), he ended up massacring the entire lab/including the children, he thought Eleven was going to join him but she was disgusted so he tried to kill her, but she’s so powerful that she sent him to the Upside Down where he became Vecna???

THATS WHERE VOL 1 ENDS ASDFGHJKL NETFLIX WHY IM DESPERATE

Overall, I love this season so far! I have a few continuity issues/gripes but other than that, I’m living for it! I love the horror turn this season has taken, it’s definitely a lot darker than the last three series I think. I think I need to see the last two episodes before I pass judgement though!

#stranger things #eleven #max mayfield #mike wheeler #steve harrington #robin buckley #nancy wheeler #jonathan byers #will byers #lucas sinclair #erica sinclair #dustin henderson #jim hopper #joyce byers #eddie munson #I’ll add more tags later I’m exhausted lol

From a Distance (E.Pettersson X Reader)

Chapter 1

Masterlist

Tag list form

A/n: hello peoples!! I’m so excited to FINALLY post the first chapter of this fic!!! I’ve been working on it for a long time, and after a few unpleasant delays, it’s finally happening 😁. While this isn’t my first fic, this is my first NHL fic, and the first fic I’m posting on Tumblr, so I’m a little nervous. This first chapter is mostly the set up to the main story, this is reader’s side of things with a flashback story. Chapter two will be mostly from Elias’s point of view. The rest of the chapters will switch back and fourth between the two.

CREDIT: Finally, before we get started I have to shout out my proofreaders. Y’all put up with me and my insanity: @siriushxney @iateyourdonuts @petey-patty @hufflepuff-girlx @cherrylita @immmbabyyygraceee @💕💕And specifically @imagines-r-s ASH!!! Babes, you have been the best and most supportive friend I could’ve asked for during this. You boosted my confidence about this fic and I have no idea what I’d do without you 😁😁

Without further ado, let’s get started shall we!! (Sorry for the long A/N, it’ll only be for this first chapter)

Paring: Elias Pettersson X Fem!Reader

Warnings: lots of cursing, friends with benefits but like...just cuddling???, references to iCarly, mentions of One Tree Hill.

Genere: enemies-ish —>friends —> lovers

Legend: (i suggest having these ready before you read)

Y/C/N/N= your cute nick name, only Markstrom calls you it (you’ll see why) this can be either a pet name you like, or a nick name you already have.

Y/N/N= your nick name, Brock, Quinn, and a few others call you this, it’s more of a playful name. Again, this can be a nickname you already have (if you don’t have one I suggest something stupid (sounds like something Stech or Brock would come up with)

Y/N= this is your first name, only Elias calls you this unless it’s a serious situation, or you’re in trouble, or Brock is being an ass. (If it wasn’t clear before...your last name is Boeser)

Word Count: 2.2k

Summary: you have a hardcore crush on your brothers best friend, who also happens to barely speak to you...it’s a slight predicament.

--------------------------

(This is set in the 2021 season, however, because of my denial, Marky and Stech are still in Vancouver and were never traded... also no Covid. however the season was still delayed just to make it easier to follow.)

Present (Feb. 2021)

You’ve always been best friends with your older brother, you never had any real issues when you were younger and you were inseparable. So much so in fact, that once you graduated early a little less than two years ago (June 2019), he asked you to move to Vancouver and live with him. He was always so protective of you and you appreciated everything he has done in your life. One of the best parts about Brock being your older brother was the people he introduced to you. You aren’t very social and god knows how much of a people person your brother is. Once you had moved in, Brock quickly introduced you to the team. And with your double major in Statistics: Data Sciences and Sports Management, you were able to secure a job with the team. Quickly, you found yourself with a second family, one with many members.

Quinn Hughes is your best friend. when you met him about a year and a half ago, you hit it off immediately. With both of you being the same age and not very social, there was an obvious connection there. When Brock and The boys go out, it is you and Quinn who stay in and watch shows on the couch (your favorite being New Girl). Huggy Bear is so sweet and you tell him EVERYTHING, even things you’d never tell your brother. You are still thanking the draft lottery every day that the Canucks received the 7th overall pick that gave you your bestie.

Thatcher Demko AKA Dems AKA Thatch AKA baby goalie is the sweetest and most hilarious guy you know. He is always looking after you just like Brock, but he is also one of the most annoying guys you know. When you’d first met you had the biggest crush on him. You told Quinn as much and he gave you so much shit for it. That crush was short-lived though, once you found out how obnoxious he could be. You still love him, just as a friend. Though Quinn never forgets to remind you of the crush that once was.

Bo Horvat is like another big brother to you. Sure you have Brock, but he’s your best friend. Bo, however, is the person you go to when you needed advice. Holly is one of the only WAGs you’ve become close with. She and you consistently have wine and gossip nights, of which Quinn is sometimes in attendance. Plus, you and Quinn are an amazing babysitting team for Gunnar if you have anything to say about it.

Troy Stecher is the annoying older brother you never had. He always makes fun of you, calls you names, and bullies you in the loving way brothers do. And he never hesitates to come to you if he ever needs girl advice, which seems to happen a lot.

JT was just like Bo, except he is waaay more protective of you, maybe even a bit more than brock. He doesn’t have a sister and when you met, he made it his job to never see you get hurt. Seriously, one day a guy was bugging you at the bar, and both Brock and Bo were struggling to hold him back when he saw him slap you on the ass as you walked away.

Jacob Markstrom, AKA Marky, AKA Giraffe (pronounced like it is in one of your favorite vines), AKA your cuddle buddy for the past few seasons. Both being single, you felt lonely sometimes and Quinn wasn’t much of a hugger (despite what the nickname might have you believe). Thatcher had offered but Marky, though just as social, is much more laid back. It also helps that he is 6’6 putting him over a foot taller than you. So during movie nights, or late nights at the bar, he is the side you lean on. Of course, you made it abundantly clear to most of the boys and yourselves that you were just friends. As sweet as he was and as great of a boyfriend as he would’ve been, he wasn’t quite your type and your personalities clashed.

Then there was Elias Pettersson, the tall, skinny, Swedish guy you knew as Petey. The guy who looked at you often and barely spoke a word directed towards you. He was Brock's best friend and he came over all the time, you didn’t have an issue with him, and you couldn’t deny he was funny, and from what you’ve heard he is a very kind person. So naturally, he was exactly your type. You’ve had a massive crush on him for a while now, somehow despite the lack of conversation. And the few times he has talked to you, he’s seemed so perfect, but there are only a few times you can remember.

Right now, as you're on your way to the Canuck’s break room your brother texted you to meet him in, you try to recall those few times, specifically the one where your crush on him truly developed.

--------------------------

FLASHBACK (some time in January, 2020)

--------------------------

You, Quinn, and Jacob were laying on the L-shaped couch in ‘The Boeser apartment’, you were cuddled under the blanket with Jacob, laying on the section perpendicular to the TV, your heads at the corner. Quinn was on the other side of the couch, his head right next to yours. it was about 7 o’clock and the episode of One Tree Hill you were watching had just ended and you three had not eaten dinner yet. As the countdown for the next episode started, your stomach growled and you got a look from Quinn and a giggle from Jacob.

“You hungry Y/C/N/N?” Jacob asked.

You looked up at him and giggled, “maybe just a little bit.”

“Y/N/N, you know what sounds amazing?” Quinn asked, you could hear the smirk in his voice.

You turned to each other and you both smirked knowing you were thinking the same thing.

“Spaghetti tacos!!” You both said.

Ever since you were about 10 and you watched iCarly on TV, you had always wanted to try them. It had become an inside joke between you and Quinn for quite some time as he had the same desire as you to see how good they actually were.

“We should totally try them tonight!!” Quinn was quite excited.

“I’m so confused right now,” Jacob chimed in.

“They’re from a show! They take spaghetti and put it in taco shells,” you explained.

“Ahh, hence the name.” he nodded.

“Exactly,” Quinn said.

You jumped up from the couch excitedly and ran straight to your kitchen.

“Ok, we have spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, ground beef, taco shells, aaaand..... by chance do either of you know how to make good meatballs?”

“You’re asking the Swedish guy if he knows how to make meatballs?” Jacob replied.

“Not Swedish meatballs, Italian, stupid Giraffe,” you retorted.

“Gross,” he said with a disgusted look.

“Ooo my mom made the best Italian meatballs, let me call her to see if she can send me the recipe!” Quinn said with a big smile.

Quinn exited the kitchen and ran to your room to call his mom.

“You know, I’ve never seen him so excited about anything,” Marky said with a laugh.

“Quinn loves his food,” you replied.

“Are Brock and Thatch having dinner with us ?”

“I’ll ask.”

You started boiling the water for the pasta, and you cooked part of the ground beef for the meat sauce. Then you texted Brock:

Y/N/N: hey, you want me to make you dinner

Brock: Yeah, who all is there?

Y/N/N: the usual

Brock: Huggy and Marky?

Y/N/N: yep, so do you want some?

Brock: Yeah, and make enough for another person too

Y/N/N: ok

You figured it was Dems since that’s who he went to hang out with when he left 5 hours ago.

You continued to cook when Quinn came in and grabbed a bunch of stuff from the pantry and cabinets. “Did your mom tell you how to make them?” you questioned your frantic best friend.

“Yes she did and she sent me the recipe too.”

“Coolio,” you reply.

------------------------

You were almost done cooking, the pasta was done, Quinn had put his meatballs in the oven and there were only 5 minutes left on the timer. And the sauce had about 2 minutes to simmer.

“Oh my gosh, I forgot what to do when they're almost done, she does this thing, I have to call her,” Quinn said with a panicked look on his face. He ran back to your room.

The front door to your apartment opened quickly, both boys laughing, “ahh, shit, my brother’s calling me,” Brock said as he ran back to his room.

“Why does everyone feel the need to exit the room for phone calls?” you asked Jacob.

He shrugged with a giggle, “I don't know, maybe they don’t trust us,” he said in a sarcastically dramatic tone grasping his chest.

The door closed slowly and you glanced at the doorway where you thought you’d see the ever adorable goalie, Thatcher Demko, instead, you saw the adorable, slender, tall blonde you’d seen all the time, but never had a one on one interaction with... except the first time you met, when he told you that you looked pretty.

“Hi, Petey!” Jacob said as he slipped behind you to watch you mix the sauce, he stood over you looking at the sauce and put his hand on your waist.

“Hi,” he replied, his smile from before had faded.

“Looks so good Y/C/N/N,” Jacob said with a kiss on your cheek, a regular action.

“Thanks, Giraffe, can you grab the taco shells?”

He grabbed them easily from the top shelf (tall ass bitch -_-), and moved behind you, placing his hands on your waist yet again, to move you to the side. “I've gotta run to the bathroom, but I’ll be right back”

“Ok, you have fun with that,” you said with a wink.

Suddenly, was only you and Elias in the room, and the silence was deafening.

“So what are we eating?” he said, pulling your attention to his bright blue eyes.

“Um, spaghetti tacos, they're from a tv sho-”

“Like from iCarly?” he interrupted.

“...Uh yeah? How'd you know?” you couldnt pull your attention away from his eyes, ‘they are just so beautiful,’ you thought somehow you hadnt noticed this within the on and a half years you’d known him.

“We also get Nickelodeon, you know,” he said while throwing you a smirk that made your stomach flip.

“Oh, I didn't know that,” you replied, feeling just a little embarrassed.

“iCarly was my favorite, actually.”

“Yeah, it was mine too,” you said, smiling back, looking at the way he just lit up your kitchen with his presence.

You both stood there for a second just looking at the other, “So how long have-,” he started.

“OKAY,” Quinn unknowingly interrupted, “so she told me what to do, turns out I have to put sauce over them for the last 2 minutes, so Y/N/N can you just put a tablespoon of sauce on each ball then put them back in for two minutes?”

“Yeah of course. Elias, you were saying?” you looked back at the Swede.

“Oh it's nothing,” he looked down at his shoes.

“Ok, Y/N/N you need to call mom and tell her we’re fine and that she doesn't need to worry about us please, Paul says she’s stressing,” Brock said as he entered the room.

“When is she not stressing about us? I’ll call her after dinner, how's dad?”

“Doin’ good, nothing has changed or progressed or whatever since we were home last,” Brock moved and sat on the couch letting out a big sigh.

“That’s good,” you let out a sigh.

“Petey, come here, we’re watching Gossip Girl” Brock shouted at the Swede.

“Ooo what episode are you guys on?” you asked. Brock had mentioned how he was making him watch the show you two had watched about 5 times together.

“Just after Chuck gets Dan kidnapped at Yale.”

“Oh so you still hate Chuck?” you asked Elias.

“Ew, yeah...wait is that gonna change?” Petey said with a scoff.

“Uh....,” you stalled.

“Y/N shut up, don't spoil it,” Brock interrupted before you could make it worse.

“Ok well, dinner is ready so just start the show after and we can all watch it together.”

--------------------------

“Oh my god, these are actually amazing,” Quinn said with his mouth full.

“I know, I did not think this was gonna taste good,” Jacob added.

“Hey!” you said, offended.

“Y/C/N/N, you know I love your cooking, it was the idea of the meal that I doubted,” Jacob said leaning into your side and putting his arm around your shoulder.

“Mmmhmm, suuure,” you said, rolling your eyes.

“Hallå Marky, ni två är söta (hey Marky, you two are cute),” Petey said, confusing you, Quinn and Brock with the sudden change in language.

Jacob, being oblivious to what Petey was implying, just said, “tack broder (thanks, bro).”

Little did you know what was going on in Elias’s head.

--------------------------

PRESENT

--------------------------

Before that night, you never really thought of Elias in a romantic way. You'd been around him quite a lot, seeing as how, seemingly, is in your apartment more than his own. Sure, you knew he was cute and very sweet from what you'd seen, but up until that point, you'd never had a one-on-one interaction with him. That interaction, however small, was the beginning of an obsessive crush. Quinn was the first to point it out, you started listening closely any time he talked, attempting to converse with him, and thinking about him on a daily basis even when you didn't see him. And due to your stubbornness, no matter how unrequited your crush seemed, it never faltered. You had always thought he hated you, or maybe he just tolerated you because you were Brock’s sister, and you were always around.

However, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

episode 209 spoilers below

I'm so late today but here it is

I love EJ, he's finally learning to be happy. I'm so proud.

Ms Jenn = every boomer during zoom calls, like jeez yes we can hear you stop shouting at me.

LOVE THE SUBTLE JOKE ABOUT QUARANTINE "these dark times" "you mean spring break?"

ah yes, remember when we thought covid was just gonna give us a longer spring break? good times

SEBLOS

damn the passive aggressiveness from Carlos and the absolutely over it tone from seb✋

CASWELL COUSINS!!!!! THEY'RE THE BEST!!!!

we needed more if this kind of goofiness for the first part of season 2 that only such an iconic duo can provide.

old old movies-

is it even that old, or is Nini being a gen alpha rn-

i choose to imagine EJ being scared of the movie and hiding in Ashlyn's shoulder while she keeps a straight face and then EJ pretending to be tough afterwards

aww redlyn are soulmates.... yknow, if gingers had souls

(please ignore me)

y'all saw how EJ's face *lit up* when Gina logged on? how dare you tell me he doesn't like her

ofc she's no damsel in distress, she's Gina porter, she's amazing.

so do we think she'd be the type to just glare at suspicious people? or bark at them

do they not know that Rini broke up? or is Ms Jenn just wanting Nini to suffer through her heartbreak to make her a better actress....

speaking of, why is Nini in the call? she's not in the show anymore. Unless she is, even after the rose and the song got cut, which would be so unfair to all those that auditioned properly before she even came back but whatever, she's the main character I get it 🙄

big red is a hero honestly, Nini better thank him for changing the subject like that

I can't-

i won't work you over the break-

this woman would 100% work her kids 24/7 if it was legal and idk how to feel about it.

YES GINA USE THAT CHARM

QUEEN

FRENCH QUEEN

SHE LEARNT FROM THE BEST (antoine obvi)

smh the airport lady, eavesdropping on Gina's call.

The way she was so happy to answer EJ's call, "eej"

I love them your honour.

EJ WITH PAINTED NAILS YES PLEASE

great now we need to see Gina, Ashlyn and EJ having a complete spa day and EJ getting really into it and Gina and Ashlyn take pictures of him when he's laying down in a robe with a mask and cucumbers on his eyes.

finally we get to see Gina's side of portwell

the way she considered it as flirting, this is the sign she asked for in episode 6 come onnnnn

no is Asher/jack really doing tiktok dances in an airport-

Ricky is me. I am burrito.

oh Lynne, sweetie, I'm sorry but the blonde hair is not it

is that even the same lady or-

THE BEAN

THE CHICAGO BEAN

THE BIG OLD METAL BEAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY 😭

jetlag is my go to excuse for anything... I haven't travelled in 2 years.

"welcome to the Lynne and Mike gossip show. where we talk about our depressed son that we both neglect in certain ways! And now a word from our sponsor, Nord VPN..."

SO MANY CANDLES

WHAT DEMON IS LYNNE TRYING TO SUMMON IN HIS ROOM-

is Nina becoming social media obsessed EJ from season 1? AND SHE LIED ABOUT HAVING SONGS TOO PLEASE WHY ARW THEY RECYCLING THE SAME PLOT-

Gina smiling at the picture of her family on Instagram makes me so happy, idek why.

EJ's nails are so pretty, we needed to see it more (unless he had it on for the rest of the episode and I just.... didn't notice🧍🏽‍♀️)

oh not the tiktok kid✋

yes ma'am end this strange mans whole tiktok career

sir take a hint and leave

GINA NO DONT SAY YOUR LAST NAME HE COULD BE A HUMAN TRAFFICKER

Ricky, walking in style✨

weird kid, ok then Lynne, can't you see he's this close to the edge?

not all your fault baby Ricky, Nini sucks a bit more

RICKY YOU DIDN'T COME DOWN HARD ON THE SONG-

YOU ASKED WHAT IT WAS ABOUT AND SHE SHUT YOU DOWN-

PLEASE DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF

ok but the deleting comment thing was very bad

still don't know if I like Jack honestly

hmmm so Nini's calling herself Nini instead of Nina in her little egg seat, while trying to write a song without inspiration.... Nini, honey, Ricky was your muse, he inspired you to write all those songs, even if it wasn't good for the relationship.

that doesn't mean you gotta get back with him, or that you can't write a song that not about him butttt it'll take some time

the rainbow sticker in her box and her rainbow shirt-

anyways wbk she's not totally straight

Jack are you a criminal?

quick, Gina, check his ankle for a tracker

THE YES AND PRACTICE STRIKES AGAIN

the way Gina wasn't into it in episode 6 but she's used the technique twice now

stole her grandma's Pomeranian-

Jack where the hell did you pull that out from-

the fake crying killed me, that looks like so much fun though

anyone wanna raid a first class lounge with me?

wait so is jack not gonna go in with her?

wouldn't he go in too? help look for the credit card? SO CONFUSED

the first class lounge guy was so into the drama though, watch his face when they start arguing 😭

sorry to break this to you Kourtney, but you haven't even blocked the second act yet soooo...

take that as you will

I love how all of them are totally dissing the dance off

that's the most realistic part of this show tbh

shouldn't Nini have asked how she knew....since the start? why is the fact that her best friend has knowledge of a North high secret now dawning on her...

Howie is sweet honestly, at least he's trying to help. but I stand with Kourtney, don't take him back just because he sang an amazing song, and is giving you a heads up on what's gonna happen...

KOURTNEY IS ME TRYING TO LEAVE AN ONLINE CLASS

I hate school

ooo Nini's writing a song about bad internet connection 🤩🤩🤩

I never lie, except when I do-

son that is the creepiest thing you could say to a stranger that you've been "helping"

2 truths and a lie👀

he's an Ariana fan 100%

called it.

OLDER BROTHER-

WHAT-

free spirit? damn so brother porter was in that horse movie

so has she been kissed or not?????????

I feel like she's moved more than 15 times though so possibly

but then if she's moved so much, and before east high she never opened up to anyone, she's never been kissed then?? damn

same though Gina so let's be besties please

heartbreak president is a great song title idea, give Nini a call rn

but wait

is the no strings attached feeling thing about her telling Ricky she liked him? she thought she was moving away so she thought it'd be no strings attached???

guys I think I figured it out insert the "I've connected two dots" meme

THE DUKE SWEATSHIRT

IS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND'S

OMG I LOVE I LOVE

NOT THAT I KNOW OF???

ma'am did you just kill me

yes you did

Lynne and Ricky have such a weird relationship

YES IT DID SUCK

TODD SUCKS

LYNNE SUCKS

yeah I get that you wanted Ricky to like Todd BUT THAT WASN'T THE TIME

right so we already know that Ricky was so desperate to keep Nini cuz he didn't want to be like his parents, and now Lynne's talking about this-

Richard needs a long hug

yes Lynne, it is your fault. thank you for finally admitting it.

YES DYE YOUR HAIR

BLOND HIGHLIGHTS RICKY WILL RISE AGAIN

"sometimes the best, last thing you can do for someone you love, is let them go."

gotta admit I teared up at that point

not me thinking big red was calling ms Jenn cupcake for a hot second-

Carlos please omg, you're at the "beach" and they're leaving for the pool?

also, why not just do the call from the hotel room please omg

"don't ask me"

"Carlos"

OMG WHAT HAPPENED

big red wants the tea

O M G

SEB IS JEALOUS

JEALOUS SEBBY IS MY FAVOURITE THING IDC

I'm surprised ms Jenn knew how to give Nini permission to screenshare tbh

So lily's been stalking the East high kids and spending time editing this video while she's supposedly in an immersion trip.... right

EJ and Ashlyn's picture is so chaotic, what even is happening there

"slacking off" bestie its spring break, obviously they're confident enough that they'll get it done in time so why not focus on your own musical.

jealous seb = sassy seb

please what if those guys Carlos is posing with are his cousins or something and that's why he's so confused about Seb

6 YEAR OLD EJ I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM

Nini saying she's obsessed with her ex, that's not weird at all 👍

I can just tell Matt had a blast harassing Julia with those puppets.

Jack please dont be like that, "yet"

chances are you'll never see eachother again 🥰

(honestly sometimes I really miss those friends I made on trips and stuff when we'd spend the day or week together, only to never see them again....those were the good days though)

Ashlyn and Nini should write more songs..... something better than this one at least

Nini: "im good"

cue the Tia Mowry (please I can't spell) crying gif

oh I forgot Ricky was in the show for a hot second

1. where did Gina get to film this without people being around

2. did she just... randomly change her clothes???

ok but the transition between Carlos and EJ

*chefs kiss*

now everyone shut up, EJ's singing

oh i think I'm pregnant

HIS MUSCLES

YES KOURTNEY

I love how big red and Kourtney went from being "the best friends™" to the couple in season 1, to kinda close themselves and having their own plots

sebby makes me so happy

props to biggies editing skills honestly

PORTWELL BEING SIDE TO SIDE I CANT

AND SEBLOS OMG

big red lives for the drama

"wow" so true Ricky

no he is not cute, stop it

"holding" ok that's kinda cute

yeah EJ's a lucky guy😌

jokes aside, it's not that hard to exchange numbers-

keep in touch if you want

ok I really like Jack now

if he comes back in season 3, maybe have him be LGBTQ+ ?

like the only out characters they have rn are Seb and Carlos and they're like the sterotypes, yk?

I'd love to see jack kinda break the mold

Ricky's breaking my heart

that song just hurts

the only thing

now I don't hate Lynne????????

HOW DARE THEY WRITE IN A PROPER REDEMPTION ARC FOR HER

UGH IM SUPPOSED TO HATE HER FOREVER

I mean I don't live her now but she's good

but honestly

"mom can I show you something"

IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

THE PICTURE AND EVERYTHING OMG

I'm sobbing please help

Gina saying she's just waiting for the right guy and then EJ coming to the airport to pick her up late at night without her asking, offering to bring her back in the morning so she won't have to Uber, bringing her a granola bar (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE FORGOT TO PACK) and without expecting anything in return???

ms ma'am you've got a keeper right there

her smile at the end was so heartwarming I really can't.

this episode was great.

it felt really short but I liked it, great character development for Ricky, Lynne and Gina.

Cant wait for next episode to see more of EJ being the ideal boyfriend /hj

SaL anon here bestie and, well, I'm sure you've heard the news. Not sure it comes as a surprise, RNM really only ever had one, maybe two, reasons to watch and neither of those was the writing. Honestly I've got mixed feelings on this one, on the one hand I can stop hoping despite all evidence to the contrary that this show won't disappoint me, which is a relief. On the other, the only reason I still bother having hope for it is of course Malex and the incredible Vlamburn chemistry that carried

most of us through the horrors of S2 even (honestly with any other actors in those roles, I'd have been done by 2x02 with no regrets). Also there's the sentimental value in Malex being what kicked off our SaL based screaming in the void. Curious to know your thoughts on this my friend when your up for discussing it but would totally get it if you wanted to put this off till 911 is officially on hiatus. Take care 😗😗.

Hi bestie! I got your first ask about the promo but had to be in the office working all day for the rest of the week covering for someone (and our new boss wants us back in the office full time soon 🙄) so I didn’t get to it right away, and then the cancellation notice came in so I figured it would be in poor taste to drag the show that day, so I was holding on to it.

I also have mixed feelings. I’ve been out of touch with the show since season 3 ended and didn’t keep up with any of the news about season 4 until the promo poster (for ANTS!) dropped the other day with the season synopsis which was...not particularly encouraging (another season of Malex being separated and doing different things? whyyyyyy are they wasting the best dynamic and scene partner chemistry?! WHY?!). I’m with you in that I can finally stop having some hope that the show is going to live up to it’s potential and focus on the actually interesting dynamics and storylines and give characters scenes together that actually make sense.

But also on the other hand, Malex. What a phenomenally heartbreaking and beautiful love story, with actors that actually pull it off! I still see gifsets from season 1 that feel like a gut punch, and moments between them where I feel like I should look away because it’s so intimate. The wealth of amazing fanfic that came out of that love story immediately after the show started is a testament to how magical it was, and even when the writing let them down again and again, Tyler and Vlamis always managed to hold on to that magic. Sometimes it was just by the skin of their teeth, but they kept that flame alive through some pretty horrendous choices on the show’s part.

It’s frustrating and disappointing that a show that truly had the potential to be incredible and interesting and heartfelt was helmed by people and a network more concerned with teen soap drama. It’s frustrating and disappointing that a pretty stellar all around cast with the chops to pull off some ambitious things (that DID pull off some ambitious things!) got stuck with a network and writing better suited for a teen drama. I wish I could say I’m surprised by the cancellation news but honestly after what we got in season 3, I’m not. They wasted the whole first half of the show on a plot that went nowhere and was not needed! The writing for Echo and Malex was all over the place! Malex got together in a very confusing way given the animosity all season until suddenly it was gone. Kyle disappeared for several episodes and no one even mentioned him! Alex wasn’t in most of the finale OR in the big showdowns! The love of his life nearly died and we are TOLD they saw each other but don’t get to see it?! And don’t even get me started on the amount of time and dialog wasted on certain characters that didn’t end up serving any purpose the entire season. It’s frustrating, and sad, knowing what could have been. Knowing that they won’t ever really get a chance to try and fix things and that these characters that deserved so much better won’t ever get it.

And it’s sad because Malex is what brought us together! Ryan and his music could have been written about Alex and Michael and it’s going to be bittersweet to let that go, especially since our alternate 911 is being Like That right now. But no matter what, no matter the missteps the show made, Malex will ALWAYS be special. There are so many stories and avenues to be explored with them that will keep fic writers busy for a long time to come, I’m sure. Vlamburn sparked something so beautiful that shows will be trying to capture and re-create forever. I’m sure in 10 years some cable show looking back on shows and couples from the past will be talking about Malex and what should have been and we all know Vlammy won’t ever shut up about his love for Michael, Alex, Malex, and Tyler.

And, we still have one more season to go! One more season of Malex, one more season of songs to flail over. The feelings about the show may be mixed, but my excitement about your asks will never fail. Cheers to us, bestie, and cheers to our woo wee woo show and the fandom that always came through to fill in the gaps, rewrite/expand the stories, create stunningly beautiful AUs, and magical fanart. That deserves to be celebrated!

My 2020 in dramaland pt 1/4

I’m doing this at the start of december but I’m scheduling it to be posted on Christmas Eve, because that way I can say to everyone Happy holidays! Anyway, these are the Korean dramas I watched this year (listed in the order I saw them, NOT including my favorite dramas, those will have its own post!)

Love Alarm (2019): I don’t think I need to say what this was about lol if you haven’t seen it, chances are, you’ve heard of it. This is like all those Netflix shows I binge in one day, hate them but still can’t help but want to know what happens next and immediately need a season 2. Btw, this drama has the type of love triangle that I tolerate the most: the men who like the girl are also BFFs and never actually turn against each other, or at least suffer because they don’t really want to hurt the other. Bros before hoes! Kinda.

OTP: Jojo&SunOh. Hate that I love them tbh. But it’s mostly all thanks to him. To me, KimSoHyun’s chemistry with SongKang is the best chemistry she’s ever had with any of her co-stars. Well, maybe it’s a tie with Jisoo. Sorry Jang DongYoon.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Knowing there’s a second season coming. I NEED CLOSURE! Dramas should never have seasons, it’s cruel.

Do I recommend it? Uhm... Yes. But beware of old tropes like Noble Idiocy super idiotic, a FL that never speaks her mind and a whole lot of nonsense angst and pining. Hey, your average kdrama basically.

Crash Landing on You: You know she actually did crash land on him. Twice. I loved that they were so doomed, it was awesome. A forbidden and beautiful romance, they were all in for each other. He was handsome and cute I mean is HyunBin! but she was my favorite: brave, sassy, bold and a CEO. I hated when they shoot her. A pity they can only be happy in Switzerland, but I liked that about their ending. (I made a sort of review of the finale here)

OTP: Awesome chemistry, have you heard about all those dating rumors? But my favorite couple was actually the second lol. I will never forgive this drama for NOT giving them a happy ending. WTF? And that’s why it’s not in my fave’s list.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Apart from the love stories? North Korean soldiers from Captain Ri’s team. Bless them.

Do I recommend it? Oh, is there someone who hasn’t seen it? For real, go watch it. It’s a romcom for the ages. Lots of nonsense and cliches. Loved it, just *one* little flaw. ALBERTOOOO!

Witch’s Court (2018): A law drama. I never watch these types of dramas. Only did it because I had a crush on Yoon HyunMin at the time, my sister made me watch it (she also had a crush on him) and I thought there was going to be way more romance. Heavy subjects, a great mom’s love and a lot of prosecutor bs.

OTP: They were cute. Wish I’d seen more of them though.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Yoon HyunMin. But the FL was awesome in her own right.

Do I recommend it? If you like law/criminal dramas and barely a hint of romance, this one is great. And justice is served at the end.

Hospital Playlist: It was an adorable, peaceful and relaxing watch, not what you’d expect from a hospital themed drama. Very healing (no pun intended lol). And I loved the songs they played! The weird thing is that I kept forgetting about it, and that’s why it took me so long to finish it.

OTP: I do have one, but not the one everyone ships: Dr Yang SeokHyung and his resident played by one awesome Ahn EunJin. She confessed, he turned her down gently, Buuu!!!. Waiting patiently for S2 and HOPE their love story develops more. Dramas shouldn’t have second seasons!

Thing I enjoyed the most: The friendship of the five besties duh

Do I recommend it? Awww but of course! if you liked the Reply Series and slice of life dramas, you will like this one. Only 12 eps but they were as long as a movie lol

WHY (minidrama) 2019: Two good friends trying to cheer up their bff who just got dumped (without any explanation hence driving him slowly into a mental breakdown and an identity crisis) by going on a Jeju vacation. In the guesthouse they’re staying, they encounter two awesome, chill and fun noonas. What you’ll see here: a moving story about heartbreak and letting go, bromance and noona romance.

OTP: While most of the time the lead was in deep heartbreak thanks to his awful ex, there was a subtle romance developing while he was healing. At the end, there’s a time jump and he’s totally in the right state of mind to completely be with her and give love another try. Lovely ending.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Jung GunJoo! AKA Dohwa from Extraordinary You!!!

Do I recommend it? Of course! It’s an adorable watch. And it only takes like 2 hours of your time, maybe less, I don’t recall. Here, you can watch it on YouTube. Also, not really a fan don’t hate me lol but there’s Hwang In Yeob as the bff of the lead. And he has a very meaningful role.

Where Your Eyes Linger (minidrama): First Korean BL drama I’ve ever watched and I’m so glad that it was a wonderful first. Given the amount of time and resources I was expecting a lot less from this but they all did a very good job. Beyond my expectations, really. Wonderful acting and such an angsty friends to lovers romance that was delightfully done. I don’t usually give out scores to dramas but omg 10/10!

OTP: THEY HAD SUCH GOOD CHEMISTRY! UGH THE ANGST

Thing I enjoyed the most: Oh, everything!

Do I recommend it? Like BL dramas and want to see more of them in kdramaland? Then YES YES YES. A thousand times YES! The reason why it’s not on my favorites’ list is because I wish it was longer.

It’s Okay to not be Okay: It had been so long since I’ve seen a KSH drama. Since his alien days lol Plus, my sister is a huge fan. Horniest kdrama of the year, for sure. Which is hilarious since the message of the whole thing was more about family. From the first episode I was waiting for the OTP to have a steamy makeout and have sex HAHAHA You know, they actually delivered, so I was happy. My review about the ending HERE

OTP: Queen MoonYoung and her horny but super restrained caretaker, KangTae. Love them.

Thing I enjoyed the most: All hail Queen Ko MoonYoung! And the best hyung, SangTae.

Do I recommend it? Yeah. Let’s be serious for a moment lmao it was a healing drama and the ending was beautiful. A few things here and there didn’t make sense though. The mom’s comeback was crazy, but meh, what are dramas without crazy? lol I guess this is not on my favorite’s list because I wasn’t as obsessed as I wish I’d been.

Was it Love?: Mamma mia, here we go again, my my, I should have resist ya! it was ALL right there but the writer didn’t have the guts to do the story right. It COULD’VE BEEN Mamma Mia, but all the potential went to waste. THE POTENTIAL!! You want to know who the dad of her daughter is? The only dude she ever slept with, her only ex! Big surprise. The writer! There, saved you the trouble. My rant on the ending here

OTP: Well, it wasn’t the leads, that’s for sure. It’s the second leads (or was he the third lead and she the second?)who ended up together, or at least it was hinted at. The female lead had way more chemistry with the one dude she was never romantically linked to, which is hilarious to me. Ugh so much wasted potential...

Thing I enjoyed the most: Gangster dude and his son! Bless them.

Do I recommend it? Jesus, NO. DON’T. Watch Mamma Mia with Meryl Streep, instead. That’s gold and it’s what they wanted to try to do for a moment here. Still wondering how I managed to finish this...

Record of Youth: Another drama I can’t believe I actually finished. A handsome model transitioning into an actor and becoming the main provider for the family that never fully supported him and had to pay for the debt of the dad that always belittled his dreams. Underdeveloped characters, a female lead that was outshined by CAMEOS of other women(in her 1 minute scene, KimHyeYoon had more chemistry with PBG), plots that went nowhere and a terrible pairing that had very little chemistry. A ranting about the finale and my wasted time, HERE

OTP: who? Ah, yeah, I guess there sort of was one... The photographer friend and the sister of the jealous friend. Their ending was ambiguous.

Thing I enjoyed the most: PBG, he carried this mess on his back.

Do I recommend it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA No. Please, don’t watch it.

Private Lives: An orphan who was recluted to become a spy and works for a conglomerate that holds the power to decide the next president of Korea AND a con woman who wants revenge because her dad got sent to jail. They meet and fall in love and it’s the cutest thing ever but on their wedding day he misteriously disappears and... that’s it. Everything that happens after that makes zero sense. By the end I was more interested in the second leads.

OTP: TWO (but mostly the second couple) and the reason why I finished this drama at all.

Thing I enjoyed the most: Second leads. BokGi and Eduardo (yeah, I know that wasn’t his real name). I’d watch a drama of those two. Even if it was by the same writer.

Do I recommend it? Well... not really. LOL If you’re interested to know more about it, read my “recaps” of each episode HERE or read about the last ep here. You’ll understand about the same as if you were to actually watch it, but you will not waste your time. I hope? LOL

Start Up: A grandma with good intentions, a FL that lost it all as a kid, letters that weren’t really that genuine, a rich, cocky and petty jerk who wasn’t the ML (I mean by definition he had everything to be the male lead lol) and the actual ML (a genius who suffers from the biggest case of Impostor Syndrome I’ve ever seen). No one except for the FL mostly is honest. A time jump that was there just for the sake of angst and not quite done right. Also, making a business with your friends involves a whole lot of nonsense and drama. And a “love triangle” that drove the fandom to madness. And wait, the sister was the second female lead? She was more secondary than the secondary characters. This drama is seriously not what it seems at first lol

OTP: DalMi&DoSan. Adorable. The oly reason I finished this. From the moment they announced the cast and learned who the leads were, I knew I was gonna ship them. And that’s how I never get SLS lol

Thing I enjoyed the most: The answer to that question is HERE

Do I recommend it? Honestly, yeah. Just turn off your brain and never discuss it on social media. Binge it and move on with life. Not the best drama, but tbh not the worst. Well it is the worst by the writer lol Wow it sounds like I hated it, but it’s just that the fanwars really got to me haha and it’s all so recent, but I actually did love the love story and the grandma was a treasure.

hi tumblr user nadjasgizmo i hope you don’t mind but can i dump my feelings about the episodes in your ask box. i was confused in ep 1 about the timing of it all and also why the even put them on the vampiric council to begin with. (1. why wouldn’t they change clothes since the theater since they said it had been 20 something days????? i know guillermo is like in love with nandor but… why would he be ok with sitting in a cage in the basement for a month?? 2. wouldn’t them being on the council be like putting a criminal on the supreme court??). i really liked where they were going with the guillermo and nandor plotline and nandor having more questions about the meaning of life because i love when vampire media explores that as a topic but i just feel like all the other vamps kind of fell flat a bit. my hopes is that ep 1&2 will be this seasons city council episode, just a weird kind of boring one in an overall incredible season. thank you for lending me your ear bestie ❤️❤️

Hi! Yes, of course, I'm always happy to hear people thoughts about WWDITS!! 💕 Finding logic in this show can be tricky because sometimes they just do shit for the funnies. I was also a bit confused by the decision to put them on the council, but I saw someone suggesting that it could be a trap as well, which would make sense, given how adamant they were about killing the gang last season. I also thought there was a quite a shift in Guillermo's characterization compared to how he was at the end of s2. I mean by then he was absolutely done with them but in these new episodes he kinda felt more like s1 Guillermo sometimes? Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, he very clearly realized he has power over them, maybe he feels less angry and used, which is why I was ok with him staying in the basement because, well, he wasn't actually staying there and was just humoring them lmao. No clue why everyone else was wearing their s2 finale clothes, though, maybe they forgot to take them off. Trying to come to a decision is using up all of their 1 braincell, give them a break! 😂 Also I liked the second episode more, the first one was just. Ok. That's how I was when season 2 premiered as well, the first episode was fine, but it was the second episode that put me back in the wwdits mood. So, anyway, let's hope they'll continue to get better!

#this literally doesnt make sense im sorry cold brain here #ask #anonymous #s3 spoilers

Oh that makes sense, i would make it a challenge if someone said that to me too🤪🤪🤪🤪

MADDY X SERA DUO WOULD BE I C O N I C😍😍😍😍😍

YES REMI BE A GIRLBOSS AND FUCK NATE UP AS HE DESERVES😼😼🍭

Okay no but tbh Nate wouldn't even reach Remi💀Big brother Arlo would beat Nate up like how nate beat up the guy who *😤😤😤😤😌😌😌And then Blyke would finish him off😎😎

But like imagine an Isen x Fez friendship wjsbsjnsjs idk it would be so chaotic but so amazing😭😭

Oh btw what are your opinions on Lexie and Cassie :D Oh and Jules👀👀👀👀

Also can I get some arlo angst that turns into fluff😍😍😍😍

I love both even though arlo angst makes me cry🤡🤡🤡And you CLEARLY LOVE WRITING ARLO ANGST🤪🤨🤨🤨😭😭😭

-Candy Anon🍭🍬🍫

*Tw:

R@ped Maddy

Oh my god I didn’t even consider an Isen and Fex friendship. I’d love it so much. You’re absolutely right. Arlo would rock Nate’s shit as soon as he saw Nate start to show interest in Remi. I have a feeling Nate would try to be friends with Arlo so Arlo would probs have at least a little bit of a first hand experience of how shitty Nate is, especially to women since Nate kinda brags about it.

I like Lexie. I think she’s p cool but I’d like to see a Lexie episode to get to know her better. I liked season 1 Cassie. The abortion/ice skating scene was really sad. It was a beautiful scene, but it was so sad. I’m not the biggest fan of season 2 Cassie (i haven’t actually watched season 2 yet, just seen a lot of tiktok spoilers). ***SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 OF EUPHORIA*** Like I kinda understand why she gets with Nate. Like if you take away the toxicity, he’s fuckin hot. Not ‘betray my bestie’ hot, but still. I mean, everyone in Euphoria’s hot. I’m not the biggest fan of Jules…I mean, she’s just kind of a shitty friend. Like I know it’s hard to be friends with someone struggling as much as Rue is, but Idk it just seemed like Jules kept putting Rue in situations where she’d struggle more (like the party where Jules gets crazy drunk).

It’s less that I love writing angst, and more that I love/get a kick out of seeing the reactions to said angst lmao I’ll be honest, I started to get teary eyed with that last Current!Arlo angst😅

Also, this one had more in Y/N’s POV than I usually do. I tend to avoid it bc to me it seems like it’s less x reader at that point since everyone doesn’t react the same way, but I wanted to try it this time for funsies :D Lemme know what you think! <3 <3🍿🥤🍭🍬🍫🧋

Y/N glances at their phone, sighing as they see no new messages from Arlo. They scoff and toss their phone on the bed, feeling stupid for waiting for Arlo to text instead of texting him first. They keep telling themselves it’s because they don’t want to bother him, that they know how busy he is and how he doesn’t like to text. But deep down they know they’re trying to test him. To see if he cares enough to reach out to them first or if they’re going to be the only one putting any effort into their starting-to-get-serious relationship. Arlo’s…not the most obvious when it comes to people he cares about and he has a bad habit of repressing his emotions, especially with softer emotions. Of course they didn’t want to blame him for their own insecurities, but they knew his repressed emotions planted the seed of their doubt.

Arlo wasn’t stupid. He knew something was wrong with Y/N. They had slowly become more withdrawn, seeming more uncomfortable around him. He’d spent several nights awake and wracking his brain, trying to figure out what he was doing to push them away. After a week and a half, he finally came to the conclusion that they were just ready to break up with him and trying to distance themselves to either make it easier to break up with him or make him break up with them first. Arlo knew it’d be a good idea to break up with them first. It’d save him time and a prolonged heartbreak, but he couldn’t do it. Even if it was going to cause him more pain, he couldn’t let go of the hope that they still wanted to be with him. So he decided he’d wait and watch them continue withdrawing from him.

Arlo watches them out of the corner of his eyes, seeing them look up at him before looking away, a sad look poorly disguised on their face. He feels his heart drop at their reaction and his stomach turns. Arlo lifts his head and looks at them.

“What’s wrong?” Arlo asks even though he knew exactly what their answer would be, the same thing they had repeated every time he asked. They glance at him quickly before looking away again.

“Nothing.”

“Something’s clearly bothering you.” Arlo replies, not noticing how rough his hurt tone sounds to them. They clench their fists in their lap and they swallow hard, trying to force the bubble in their throat down before they talk.

“I-” Y/N cuts themself off when they hear their voice crack slightly, taking another moment to compose themself. “I need someone who loves me.” Arlo’s heart drops and they lift their head to look at him, panic crossing their face when they see the hurt in his eyes. “I’m not blaming you! I know it doesn’t come easily to you, and maybe I’m just not good enough for you to love and that’s not your fault, it’s mine.” Y/N rambles, losing control over their emotions as they speak, their voice more shaky with every word. Their hand raises and angrily wipes their tears away, upset that they were unable to hold them back. Arlo feels a pang in his chest at their tears and he reaches over, cupping their face with both of his hands.

“Y/N, look at me.” His thumbs gently rub their cheeks while he waits for them to meet his gaze. They slowly lift their eyes to look into his own, their hands nervously fidgeting in their lap as he stares at them. “I love you. You will always be good enough for me.” Arlo confesses, his words breaking the dam holding back their tears. A choked sob leaves their lips and tears rush down their face. Arlo hesitates for a moment before wrapping his arms around them, pulling them into an awkward hug but they don’t seem to care. Y/N hugs him back and buries their face in his shoulder.

“I’m sorry.” Arlo stays silent, trying to find the best thing to say. Before he finds the words, they pull away and hide their face in their hands. “I’m so stupid. I was completely convinced you didn’t want to date me anymore.” Y/N admits, still hiding in embarrassment.

“In that case, we’re both stupid.” Arlo huffs and Y/N peeks out at him.

“You thought I was going to break up with you?” Y/N asks softly and Arlo nods after a moment, watching them drop their hands from their face to look at him easier. “I’m sorry.” Y/N murmurs and Arlo scoffs lightly at them.

“It was a miscommunication from both of us.” Arlo gently takes their hand, his thumb rubbing slow circles on the back of their hand. Y/N nods and they pause for a moment before asking timidly,

“Can…can I hug you again?” Arlo wordlessly pulls them into his arms, pressing a kiss to the side of their head. Y/N nuzzles into him, feeling safe and content in his arms.

Hi I saw your post about being a Sterek anti which gave me whiplash because I followed you for mcyt opinions but then found the one other Sterek anti. Do you have any other unpopular Teen Wolf opinions that would really upset people?

I love to hate on Teen Wolf of course I have unpopular opinions. This is basically me hating on the Hales and Argents (minus Chris) for being creeps. Don't get me wrong I love the show but these are things that I can't ignore.

Disclaimer this includes topics such as child predators, grooming, abuse, murder and other similar topics. Don't read this If you really like Teen Wolf and is someone who can hate something based on others opinions.

• Sterek is an awful ship. If Stiles was a woman everyone would be calling Derek a pedo. It's weird because season 1-3 Derek was a creep and season 3-6 Stiles was an awful person. Like they switched.

• Ethan and Aiden sounded cool on paper but were a huge fail. Okay so you can combine and grow..... Is that it? Kinda lame for twin Alphas.

• Theo was a better villain than Void Stiles. He managed to successfully split the entire pack apart turning everyone against Scott including making Scott and Stiles fall out. He then made his own pack, killed them off for their powers, got sent to hell, then came back. Void Stiles was Stiles being possessed by a fox spirit and it not being him in control whereas Theo did kill them, he could control who lived or died. What can Void Stiles do? Play chess, pack it up Bella Swan!

• Stiles isn't my favourite character solely because of his comments about Liam's ied and Issac's abuse trauma. Saying that Issac was milking his trauma after he finally was able to open up about it. Constantly going on about Liam's ied and how he was a bomb ready to explode at all times.

• Peter was an awful person, he tricked Derek into turning Paige and that killed her, Derek was now single and traumatized just in time for child predator Kate Argent to groom him then burn his family, Peter survived the fire, killed even more people, died, manipulated Lydia into helping him come back, came back killed more people and repeat that 4 more times.

• Speaking of awful relationships let's not forget Parrish and Lydia. As in the grown adult police officer and the highschool minor.

• Stiles name is Genim and I stand by that.

• People think that Issac would have believed Stiles about Theo and that's just not true. Issac would have been wary of Theo based on his own thoughts but would have trusted that Scott trusted Theo. Don't know where everyone got this Issac and Stiles besties from, we must have been watching two different shows.

• Erica and Boyd were easily top 3 platonic soulmates. Others being Liam and Mason and Scott and Stiles

• Allison was a shitty person. She tried to kill her friends multiple times and got mad at everything and everyone. I genuinely thought she was meant to be bipolar when I was younger because of how she acted.

• Everyone was hypocritical, everyone was fine with Stiles killing Allison and Aiden, Peter for killing a lot of people but not Theo or Jackson eventhough Jackson was also possessed and Theo was manipulated and groomed by the Dread Doctors.

• Kira was stronger than Scott both mentally and physically. Parrish was stronger than Derek and Peter.

• Melissa and Chris were actually a good pairing. I feel like it would be weird for Melissa and John to get together.

• I don't know who Noah Stilinski is. I only know John.

• I prefer Stydia as friends but would pick them over Sterek. However I really liked Stiles with Malia and would have loved Stiles with Cora.

• Scott and Allison were a shit couple. "True love" okay so she broke up with him then immediately got with Issac who was one of Scott's best friends. Then Scott got with both Malia and Kira but still was obsessed with Allison. In my opinion their relationship was good in their eyes because it was their only relationship, no experience. Then Scott always brought her up because he felt guilty about her dying.

• Season 6 was a good season people only don't like it because Dylan wasn't in it.

• Theo was one of the best things to happen to Liam and vice versa. He was one of the only people who didn't either make fun of his ied or use it as an excuse for things. Yes he used it during 6x16 but he knew he'd get his ass handed to him but still did it to help the pack, he wasn't just saying it to insult Liam.

• Mason and Corey were a missed opportunity especially with Mason's knowledge and Corey's powers

• Scott and Liam weren't as close and people want them to be. Scott was always getting mad at Liam and rarely ever worked with him, they never did shit together. "Me and Liam go do this thing" "you guys go and sort this out". The only time he willingly stuck with Liam was when Liam had just bought back Theo and he only stayed with Liam because he thought Theo would try to manipulate him again.

• Lydia being the one to bring Stiles back during the wild Hunt was by far the biggest hate crime. You picked a long time crush over a childhood bestfriend/brother to be the one with the biggest connection to bring him back.

• Scott being a bland character was a good unintentional decision. It gave way for other characters to shine whilst also building multiple storylines. A bad example would be Elena Gilbert, she was bland but was still the main focus which imo was a bad decision.

• People really underestimate Theo and Liam's trust for eachother. They had less than a season of development but managed to be one of the better pairings. Like apart from them working together multiple times, Liam wanting Theo to go to the zoo with him, Theo stopping Liam from killing Nolan and Gabe etc. Theo knew about Liam being beat up at school by Nolan and Gabe before Scott did. Mason and Corey wouldn't have said anything because they didn't trust Theo, the only person who did was Liam. In the sheriff station Theo knew something was upsetting Liam and thought it was Brett and Lori then next episode knew it was Nolan and the Hunters.

• Coach was the best character in the entire show, not Stiles, not Issac, not Lydia, not Derek. What a king. Absolute girlboss. I know Coach would guard my drink with his life, no date rape drugs for me thanks to Coach.

• The show as a whole treated mental health terribly. Theo being manipulated as a child, Issac being abused by his father, Nolan's very severe anxiety and PTSD, Liam's ied, Malia's PTSD etc.

Basically if Teen Wolf had a 7th season and I was involved in writing it I would include the following:

• Puppy Pack including Liam, Theo, Mason, Corey, Hayden and her girlfriend (yes I'd give her a gf), Nolan and Alec just having fun and experiencing life.

• Derek, Peter and Chris working with the police.

• Melissa and Deaton working together along with Liam's step dad on a supernatural section in the hospital.

• Braeden 🥰

• I'd have a fever dream style episode where we get a Void Stiles and Evil Theo (with Tracy and Josh's powers) teamup.

• I'd bring back Kira, Cora and Issac

• I'd have the big threat being a coven of witches which is why they have to bring a lot of people back because it's a whole group of magical beings and Braeden, Kira, Cora and Issac could all bring knowledge that they've found from being in other parts of the world.

• I'd actually use all the cool supernatural powers instead of Scott roaring and flashing his eyes. Lydia's Banshee scream ripple, Parrish's flame on, Corey's invisibility, Theo, Malia and Derek's ability to shift into an actual wolf/coyote, Kira's cool fox powers, Jackson's Kanima vemon etc.

#EvangelineNeg #EvangelineOther #you just know a show is written by a man based on how they deal with male trauma #and you know the views of the writers based on what they use the female characters for #plot devices #love interest #eye candy #token strong independent woman #token lgbtq #token diversity character #it's a long list unfortunately

In honor of my 25th birthday, here are 25 facts about me and our beloved franchise, Yu-Gi-Oh!

I’ve been collecting the cards since I was 6.

I watched the original anime when it was first coming out in America. Back when it was on KidsWB, I believe.

The dubs are the only way I’ve ever experienced the shows. I can’t bring myself to watch the subs because of it. Also it was a wonderful thing to look forward to every Saturday morning, back when they still had cartoons on at the time.

When I was little, I’d pull cards out of my collection and duel one of my sisters. We didn’t know all the rules, so we’d end up with huge hands and a lot of nonsense turns. So it was almost like Season 1 of the original anime, except in real life.

I learned how to duel properly in high school. For some reason, Yu-Gi-Oh! became really popular to play when I was a junior/in the 11th grade, so I got to enjoy it with other people. Ran an Agents deck, wasn’t very good, but I had fun.

I’ve written Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfiction since I was in the 5th grade, which was roughly about 2006 or 2007. I also started writing Naruto fanfiction at about the same time, but I haven’t written that nearly as much as I’ve written Yu-Gi-Oh! stuff.

My first three Yu-Gi-Oh! OCs are characters I still use to this day. They’ve evolved a lot over the years, kind of growing up with me. In case anyone’s curious, their names are Carrie West, Jessica West, and Mirage. Carrie’s the main one, Jessica’s her sister, and Mirage was originally just supposed to be like a “Yami” for Carrie. She’s much more than that now, but I won’t bore you with the details.

The first time I saw anything 5Ds-related, I thought it was stupid and avoided watching it. Thank the Crimson Dragon I gave it another try.

This isn’t news, but my favorite characters in the franchise are Yugi Muto and Yusei Fudo. Still bitter about how much Yugi is ignored in favor of Yami/Atem, even in official merch. And also bitter that a lot of images of Yusei on official stuff erases his criminal mark, even though he’s had it since like Episode 6 and always had it in the manga, from what little I’ve read of it.

I met my best friend through fanfiction for this franchise. I posted my work on good ol’ Fanfiction.net, she reviewed, and the rest is history.

That friend got to go to Japan and see Darkside of Dimensions there. She also sent me some Yu-Gi-Oh!-related stuff that she bought while in Japan, including a DSoD booklet thing.

Said friend also got a recording of LittleKuriboh using his Yugi voice to say that I’m “super-special-awesome�� as well as his signature in a 3-in-1 manga for the original series. It was at AnimeNorth, I believe, a few years ago now.

I was introduced to Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged in high school by one of the boys I played the game with. The first Abridged thing I experienced was Leather Pants.

I thoroughly enjoyed Marik Plays Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, which is why I bought and played the game myself. Wish he’d go back to it, but until then I’ll just rewatch the videos every now and then.

Some kid on my school bus stole my Uria, Lord of Searing Flames card (which came from the tin based around it; I mistook it for Slifer at first) and my Black Luster Soldier card (might have been from one of Yugi’s early Starter decks.) I let him look at my card binders and the little shit took them out. >:/

My older sister wrote fanfiction that included a couple of my characters as a big part of the plot. This was because our characters were cousins. Anyway, I looked through it while chatting with my best friend. It. Was. Fucking. Awful. Carrie was completely out of character. Mirage wasn’t being utilized correctly. I anonymously ripped my sis a new one through a review on FF.net, which caused her to take it down and come to me, saying something about how I had great fans who would defend my OCs and she was sorry. She still doesn’t know it was me.

As a result of the above, I stopped including her OC in my writing, and I actually had the character killed off in a OneShot because I didn’t want her lingering in my plots in any way. Said character was also paired with Kaiba in a very out of character fashion, so I set him free from her shackles. Now he’s in a crack ship in my universe with my bestie’s OC, nicknamed KaKa due to their names.

I have a couple of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds OCs. They’re twin sisters who, because of me deciding how much time passes between the original series and this spin-off, are the great-granddaughters of Yugi Muto and one of my OCs.

I tried to play...Duelist of the Rose?? a game for the PS2 while at a friend’s house. Couldn’t get past the first fight which was with...I want to say Rex or Weevil. But the characters were using names from like King Henry and shit. Yugi/Yami said his name was Henry, but to call him Yugi, like what???

My current card collection count (try saying that five times fast) sits at 2813. I have them split among four binders, three of about the same size and one thin. Two of the four are just Monster cards.

I wish they’d stop making new rarities for cards. Toon Chaos was basically scalped because of that, but also it’s just unnecessary. There are lots of rarities available. They just stopped using some of them for whatever reason. Like, gimme more Ghost Rares and less Collector’s Rares, please!

I have ships I ship, which obviously include some OC x Canon ones, but I won’t name them. Shipping wars are dumb.

My favorite female character in the franchise is...a tie between Mai Valentine and Akiza Izinski. Don’t get me wrong. I like most of the lady cast in general. Also, I prefer Mai before her voice changed and Akiza during the Dark Signers stuff over who she becomes later in the series, which is just Yusei’s love interest.

There’s kind of a running gag in my Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfiction between me and my bestie. For the longest time, even if the story didn’t involve him, Kaiba kept appearing. I made a “meme” image to commemorate the reoccurring event, which is simply a pic of him with the words “Kaiba appears nonetheless” in impact font.

I started this blog on a whim. No idea why I did, but I’m glad that I never deleted it like I did so many other sideblogs. It has been an honor to be a part of this community. You guys have been amazing <33

What I thought about every episode of The Owl House Season 1 (Part 2/2)

Part two, sukers! Let’s do this. Click here to read part one.

“Senses and Insensitivity”: The B-plot in this episode is outstanding. It shows the audience more about Eda and Lilith's love for each other as sisters, which actually gets a lot more heartbreaking, given what happens in "Agony of a Witch." I loved every minute of it...which is why it makes it weird that it's just the B-plot. Because while the main story is ok, I could do without it. It makes King look like a jerk, and in no way does it feel like he means it when he apologizes. Plus, the fact that Luz and King get saved by Dana's self-insert and don't even do anything to stop Piniet just doesn't sit right with me. Although, I do find the jokes about fandom mentality to be pretty funny. If it wasn't for Eda's storyline with Lilith, "Senses and Insensitivity" might just be a C+ of an episode. As is, I'll be kind enough to give it a B-.

“Adventures in the Elements'': And here it is. The episode that everyone saw months beforehand because some jackhole decided to leak it to the internet. And what an episode it is. We get some great mentor/motherly moments from Eda. Some perfect course correction from Ed and Em going from unlikable antagonists to decent supporting characters. Having Luz learn a second spell, and having the growth between her and Amity's relationship. And a semi-enjoyable B-plot with King and an army of stuffed animals (which is just as funny as it sounds). My problem? Pacing. While King's subplot about an army of stuffed animals is fun, I feel like more time should have been dedicated to Luz getting trained by Eda. That way, it’ll feel natural to see as Luz reaches her breaking point due to going nowhere with Eda's training, which would feel justified rather than making Luz come across as kind of whiney in the episode (at least to me, she does). Another issue I have is with how Luz and Amity's relationship is presented in this episode. It genuinely feels like we skipped an episode because Amity went from "thinking about it" to getting distracted by waving at her bestie. Now keep in mind, I'm the first one to say "who cares" when people bring up the poor pacing in Luz and Amity's relationship due to Disney having little to nothing in terms of LGBTQ+ representation in children's animation. But the thing is, their relationship feels more properly paced in future episodes, but it's not the case here. So it's gonna have to be another B- in that regard.

(And seriously, don't ever leak episodes from a show, even if it's your favorite. Because not only does it ruin the experience for fans who want to support it the right way, but it also hurts the show itself. Because if people stop watching episodes, guess what? They'll stop making them. And nobody wants that.)

“The First Day”: Is it odd that I like an episode that's clearly not great? Because there's so much about "The First Day" that I enjoy. I like the entirety of the detention track and the fact that they're not typical troublemakers. I like the message about how it's unfair to force children to learn something they're not interested in because it's for a "better education." And I would frickin' take a bullet for Puddles. Unfortunately, this episode has some of the worst pacing in the series. Let's look at what this episode has to accomplish: It has to force Luz into a track and explain why it's a poor fit for her. It has to have Luz be interested in another track and get in trouble due to being too curious. It has to establish a connection between Luz and the detention track so they can have a heartbreaking third-act breakup. It has to set up, then introduce, a monster that will try to destroy Hexide. And finally, defeating the creature has to tie into why it's a good idea for students to mix tracks. That is a lot to do in under twenty-two minutes, and it makes the episode feels like it’s on fast foward at times. I'd say the solution would be to cut King's substitute teacher subplot (which only has value with one good joke), but that would only give "The First Day" a couple of extra seconds. So, really, the only way to "fix" the episode is to probably give it a few minutes by making it a forty-five-minute special. I'm sure fans wouldn't mind that. They love Luz and her journey enough that I'm sure they would be more than ok to see a more lengthy experience through the halls of Hexide. But that's not what we got, so it's gonna have to be a D+ episode. I don't hate it, but I don't blame others who do.

“Really Small Problems”: "Ugh, it's the cliche--" WE'VE! BEEN! OVER THIS! Does this episode have a cliche storyline? Yes. Is this pretty much the first filler episode of the series? Of course. But is it still entertaining? Without a doubt. There are great jokes, adorable moments with Luz and King's friendship, and little moments that I love. Like the fact that it was an accident that King shrunk Willow and Gus, and how Luz treated the situation calmly and rationally instead of blowing her stack. "Really Small Problems" may not be high up on my favorites list, but it's at least a fun B episode that was well worth a single viewing.

“Understanding Willow”: You wanna know what impresses me the most about The Owl House? The fact that Dana and her writers knew what the fans exactly want before they even started asking for it. The fans wanted to know what happened between Willow and Amity, and so the staff showed us. Fans wanted to see what Mr. and Mrs. Blight are really like, and the staff showed us. Fans wanted a Luz and Amity centric adventure, and the staff gave it to us. And because they've been working on the first season long before fan input started coming out, that means that we were going to get what we want before even having to ask. Most shows would save content in "Understanding Willow" for a second and even third season, so it amazes me that the writers waste no time in giving us the good stuff. Add that with a great "I'm sorry" speech from Amity, cute moments between her and Luz, Luz being an understanding friend, and Eda's bell dance, and you've got yourself an A+ of an episode.

As I said, I've already reviewed the last four episodes. But if you're interested in what I have to say, here are the condensed versions of my thoughts. Click the episode titles if you want to see the full review:

“Enchanted Grom Fright”: Speaking of giving the fans what they want, the fans have been obsessed over Lumity damn near since the beginning, myself included. So now you're gonna give us a prom episode filled with flirting in the hallway, a dope dance sequence, and the reveal that Amity has a crush on Luz? All while showing more of Luz's relationship with her mother and the fear Luz has of telling Camila the truth?! Then consider this an A+ episode that might just be a crucial moment in Disney's history!

“Wing it Like Witches”: This is a fantastic episode. And no, it's not because of Amity's gay panic attacks towards Luz...ok, it's partially because of that. But it's also because this episode shows how far characters come developmental wise. Willow became more confident, and Amity is actually part of the group now. It all comes together when the most developed characters team up against one who'll most likely get little development. It's a solid A of an episode that always leaves me smiling when I watch it.

“Agony of a Witch”: Yup. The single image of Luz crying is still enough to tear me up inside. And man, what an episode. The tension, the drama, the REVEAL! Lilith admitting she cursed Eda still shocks me because it could not have been farther from what I expected. Especially given the sisterly bond that we've seen in past episodes. So yeah, this is another A+ for sure.

“Young Blood, Old Souls”: I've heard some people say that the season finale is underwhelming, and I think I know why? You see, this has what I like to call Infinity War to Endgame syndrome. Part one does a great job of setting up the tension and stakes, that part two seems to pale in comparison in an attempt to relieve some of that tension. Because since part one ended, people have been hyping themselves up for part two to be such an epic conclusion that it couldn't have completely lived up to the ridiculously high standards. It's the same reason why I never felt disappointed with either Avengers: Endgame or "Young Blood, Old Souls." I had high expectations, sure, but I also reminded myself that there is a chance that either might be unenjoyable. And guess what? I consider Avengers: Endgame an A+ movie and "Young Blood, Old Souls" an A+ episode. Is either story perfect? No, but here's the thing. I could list all the nitpicks I have, or I could keep my big mouth shut and just enjoy it for the parts that are perfect.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's it! That's what I think about every single episode of The Owl House so far. As for my thoughts on the show itself, I think it's incredible. It has a nice balance of comedy and drama with specific episodes, has an intriguing story, and includes some of the best representation that Disney has had in decades. But that doesn't mean the show is perfect. Pacing can be a bit off at times, some B-plots are just unnecessary to pad out the time, and not every joke can land. But to be fair, this is season one. Dana Terrace and her crew have more than enough time to polish out the rough parts for what is hoped to be a better season two. And I still can’t to see what they have in store for us.
