~Vent~

My mother is constantly saying that they is only two gender and is always dead naming me, the one time I get her to say my preferred name she rolls her eyes and scoffs as she says it.

My mother has told me my whole life that she owns me and that I don't get to make any decisions for myself, she was dressing me until I was disowned at 14.

My mother would threaten to k!ll herself is I ever did something she didn't like, this includes: having a panic attack, dealing with over stimulation, trying to dress myself, telling her to stop walking in on me while I was showering/changing, going to bed early, going to bed late, saying I was hungry, asking to be allowed to go outside, wearing my headphones, not being strictly christian/not eating kosher, ect.

My mother got rid of my pet hermit crabs without telling me and was constantly trying to release my turtles even though they would die in the wild and they were being taken care of very well with a large, clean tank and plenty of food and hiding places, a special light that was good for their shell, and a great water to land ratio.

My mother slut shamed me because I was wearing shorts that went above my knees (they were perfectly appropriate btw).

My mother would scream at me for hours if I got anything less than a 100% on a test and even if I did get a 100% she would ask me why I didn't get any extra credit even if there was none available and even if I'd did get extra credit she would ask why I didn't get MORE extra credit.

While I lived with my mother I had a diet of nothing but microwave meals and chips and chips because she spent all of her money on vape, cigarettes, and alcohol. I would constantly be near unconsciousness due to my low blood sugar because I had nothing to eat.

She has slapped me across the face multiple times, one time with sharp plastic that cut my chin, she did this as a punishment. One time she slapped me because my blood sugar was low and I was grumpy, this is how it went down:

Me: Hey I know you wanna talk right now but can I make some food first my blood sugar is low this should take me 20 minutes max"

Her: No, I'm you mother and your going to talk to me right now

Me: Can I please just get something to eat

Her: *yells at me wich causes me to get distracted*

Me: *spills uncooked mac&cheese because distracted*

Her: *yells at me then slaps me across the face*

My mother nearly beat me to unconsciousness because she was very drunk, I had bruises all over me the next morning but I was to afraid to say anything because I new she would scream at me and hurt me more.

She molested me daily, forced me to change in front of her, forcefully spooned me in bed for hours even after I said no, and would "playfully" spank me.

She was constantly talking about how sexy a 17 year old at her work was and even bought him vape. She would also talk about some of my friends like that and even tried to internet stalk two of them, we are all minors.

She would lock the door to the apartment and wouldn't give me a key and would force me to wait outside in knee deep snow for hours without any warm clothing because she stole it all. She also refused to drive me to school in -8 degree (f) weather because she didn't want to loose her parking spot. I was also forced to bike to and from band practice (with she forced me to to do because she wanted to live through me) in 30 degree (f) with heavy rain because she didn't want to loose her parking spot.

She would consistently make fun of me for reading or doing anything that I enjoyed because I was a "nerd" and a "looser"

She disowned me after she stole my phone, went through it and found out I was a lesbian.

I couldn't even go into my yard without telling her where I was going, if I didn't tell her I would be screamed at and not allowed out my room, for a day and then not allowed out of the house for two more weeks.

She routinely went through my phone and my belongings without my permission, knowledge, or consent, in case I had anything "suspicious".

I tried moving in with my dad and she sued him.

She stole my most prized pokemon cards, a bag, most of my clothes, all of my old toys, and over $200 from my in the span of two weeks.

My room didn't have a door and she positioned herself so that she had to go through my room to get anywhere else in the house.

She would frequently lock the bathroom door so that it was only accessable from her room.

I told her I like pop music and she called me a failure then continued to play her extremely s3xual, vulgar, music about dr*gs, alcohol, and r@pe.

From the time I was 8 she tried to force me to drink alcohol because its "cool"

She forcefully pushed me against a wall because I refused to give her a hug after she made an offensive joke and I called her out for it.

She screamed at me because I corrected her after she misgendered me.

I had to learn morse code just so I could speak to my friends without her knowing what I was saying.

When I started counseling because I wanted to k!ll myself and because I was having upwards and 15-25 panic attacks per day, she forced me to tell her everything that happened in counseling even if I didn't want to.

She always gangs up on me in fights but if I try to get back up she just yells at me more.

She refused to take me to the hospital when I had a concussion and forced me to go to school all week even though I could barely stand or speak and now I have verbal and motor tics which she makes fun of.

She would scream at me because I sit down in the shower even though I have arthritis. (Yes I have arthritis at 15, it runs in the family and before to long I might develop psoriasis, I have shitty genes)

I wasn't allowed to wear anything that revealed my shoulders, that was low cut, shower any part of my stomach or back, short that went above my knees, ect.

I wasn't allowed to get my hair cut below my chin because it " wasn't feminine enough"

I wasn't allowed to have anything that was "for boys" this included clothes, toys, books, stickers, blankets, posters, movies, ect.

She forced me to watch R rated movies with her even if I didn't feel comfortable watching them.

I wasn't allowed to have any friends over and I wasn't allowed to go to any friends house, the one time I did have friends over she judged all of them and tried me to stop hanging out with them after they left. My friends are all very good people and are the only reason I'm still alive rn, she was just mad that I was talking to people who weren't her.

She screamed at she because I got one (1) drop of dark green ink on her black coffee table that she got for free.

I wasn't allowed to draw any male characters because she was afraid I would get off to them or something idk (this was before I was forcefully outed)

She bought me a triple chocolate cake for my birthday once. I'm allergic to chocolate. She forgot my birthday the next year.

Anytime I would tell her about the terrible bullying that was going on she would tell me to get over it, even after I had been thrown to the ground and strangled by one of my classmates.

If I got into a new game or hobby she would either take it away or shame me for playing it.

She spent all day on the computer playing Sims 3 to the point where I had to feed myself, take care of myself, and play by myself as young as 5.

She screamed at me because while talking about Pokemon lore I mentioned how Arceus is the god of the Pokemon world and she said I shouldn't say that because it would "make god mad" ( I have nothing against christians or christianity btw, just the people who shove it down your throat like she does)

I wasn't allowed to eat or drink the last of anything (finishing a bag of chips, taking the last soda, ect.) If I did she would scream at me and slap me as punishment.

She threatened to forbid me form seeing my cousin (who for the first 11 years of my life was my only friend) if I ever "talked back" to her.

She wod frequently strangle me as a form of "tough love".

When I was 2 she tried to teach me how to swim by holding me under water over and over again, drowning is now one of my greatest fears. Luckily I did learn to swim with the help of cousin and granny and even enjoy swimming but it is hard for me to do things like wash my face in the shower or stay under water for more than a few seconds without panicking.

She never taught me how to cook but then would scream at me because I didn't know how to cook.

Her smoking inside and while driving has caused me to have some lung issues, she denies that she ever smoked near me.

She tried to take me away frome everyone in my life including my family and friends so that I could only spend time with her.

When I was in fifth grade she homeschooled me and forced me to do college lever reading, learn how to code, learn at least two other languages that weren't english, learn how to play guitar, do gymnastics, do jujitsu (japanese), do soccer, learn to sing (keep I mind I had no interest in music, but she did), do a digital homeschooling program set at a highschool level, and learn a bunch of useless skills like knot tying and making friendship bracelets because it was "feminine". This was in FIFTH FUCKING GRADE.

We didn't have a washer or dryer and she would never go to to town to get laundry done so I never had clean clothes.

If I had more that $10 I had to give the rest to her.

She tried to kidnap me once.

One time on accident I stood in a bull ant hill and got stung all over (if you don't know ants all sting at once), I was swollen all over and screaming in pain and she did nothing, not even give me ice or ointment, she just told me to be more careful.

Second Cousins?

Byers x second cousin!reader

warnings:

a/n: THIS IS SUCH A REACH LMAO BARE WITH ME I LITERALLY HAD TO LOOK AT A CHART btw you’re about jonathans age? ig? idk but this is NOT romantic that’s frickin gross. p.s. horowitz is winona ryders name

prompt:

You crawled out of bed to the sound of your dad screaming for you. What time was it?

12:38pm

Great. You slept the whole day and now you have to help your extended family move in immediately. You rolled off your mattress and scrambled to get some clothes. You hadn’t seen this side of the family since Christmas of 1978!

You’d regret not eating breakfast, but not yet. You walked outside, pushing your hair from your face and waiting for your family to exit their respective cars. Your “first-cousin-once-removed,” Joyce, got out first. (You just call her “Aunt Joyce”).

“Hey, guys! Long time no see.” She smiled. “Oh, my god, y/n. Is that you?” She walked up to you and gave you a hug.

“Hey there, Aunt Joyce. We’ve missed you a whole lot.” You looked over her shoulder and saw a younger girl, maybe 13 or 14. You’d never seen her in your life. Her eyes were definitely tear stained, her hair falling out of her scrunchie, and the sleeves on her flannel rolled up. “Who’s the girl?”

“Oh, uh, that would be El. She’s a...‘new addition’ to our family.” Joyce put in air quotes.

“Wicked. I’d love to get to know her better.” You stuck your hands in your pockets and watched the boys get out of their car. “I’d like to catch up with the boys, too. It’s been years. I mean, I know we talk on the phone every once in a blue moon, but this is so exciting! You guys are gonna be living with us now!”

“Only for a little while.” She sighed.

“We’ll make the most of it.” You gave her another hug and moved towards the boys.

“Jonny Byers. You got taller.” You joked with him.

“Bring it in.” He welcomed you with open arms.

“What’s up, kiddo?” You gave Will a high five. “You still drawing that cool ass art?”

“Yeah, I have a ‘portfolio’ now. Jonathan made me put one together.” Will snickered.

“Hey, artists need them. I have one for my pictures.” Jonathan reasoned.

“Well, Will, when you’re all settled in, you’re gonna have to sit me down and show me what you’ve got. You know, I still have that picture you drew me last time I saw you.” You told him.

“Really? I was like, seven.” He shook his head.

“Yeah, seven and truly gifted.” You turned your attention to your other “second cousin,” “And as for you, I’ve got all those old vinyls and some new ones, too. What about you?”

“I have more cassette’s than vinyls, but I’ll make sure we have time to share.” He punched your arm.

“That’s what I like to hear. Now let’s go help your mom and El unload the truck.” You turned around and Will and Jonathan followed you.

“Oh, you heard about El?” Will asked.

“Your mom said she was a ‘new addition to the family.’” You quoted.

“Yeah, that’s a pretty accurate description.” Will nodded. “She’s shy, I wouldn’t push her into conversation.”

“Noted.” You picked up a box and carried it inside. There were two spare rooms. One for Joyce and El and one for the boys. Good thing they didn’t mind sharing. You put the box into Joyce’s room, then headed right for the truck. The next box was labeled “HOPPER.” You lifted it up and an your way into the house, you ran into El.

“I can take that one.” She told you quietly.

“You sure?” You raised your eyebrows and she nodded. You handed her the box and went back to the truck.

“Hey, Horowitz, wanna help me grab this mattress?” Jonathan asked. You jogged up to hig and grabbed one side. “Got it? Alright, be careful.” You guys got the mattress inside, and then the other two.

“Alright, what’s next?” You asked.

“I’m actually kinda hungry.” Jonathan wiped the sweat off his forehead. “What about you?”

“Starving. Go round the gang up, I know a great place to get some lunch.” You told him. Jonathan went around and got all of the family together. There was only six of you. You, dad, Joyce, El, Jonathan, and Will. You all squeezed into one car and hit the road. Really, it was only a 10 minute drive.

“This was my Grandma Darlene’s favorite place to eat before she passed away. We always sit at her booth.” You told your cousins in the back seat. El was in between Joyce and your dad in the front. “Ooh! We’re here.”

You approached the door and your dad opened it up for everyone. You waved at the waitresses you had known so well and went to your usual spot. You each picked up a menu as the waitress asked for drinks.

Water for you, coffee for your dad, water for Jonathan, Sprite for Will, Diet Pepsi for Joyce, and lemonade for El.

“So, boys, what’s been going on in Hawkins? Any significant people or events you wanna talk about?” You questioned the boys.

“Well, Jonathan’s got a girlfriend who leaves lipstick marks all over his face.” Will taunted.

“Oh, shut it.” Jonathan pulled his straw up and took a sip of his drink. “Yeah, her name is Nancy. We’ve been together for almost a year. She’s a badass.”

“How so?” You bit down on a piece of ice.

“She’s determined to get what she wants. We had an internship at the local newspaper and she was an assistant, but she really wanted to be a reporter. She did every possible thing she could to do it. Followed stories, wrote them, suggested topics in meetings...” Jonathan gushed.

“And did she get to be a reporter?” You asked, turning your head sideways.

“No, she actually got us fired.” He chuckled. “But she stood up for herself, that’s why I love her.”

“She sounds great, will she be visiting you soon?” You asked him. “I’d love to show her the embarrassing pictures of us with marker all over our backs and faces when you lived here in ‘73. And the pictures of you pretending to be Super-Man. Can’t forget those ones.”

“Oh, my god, you still have those?” He laughed. “Yes, she’s visiting on Thanksgiving with her brother, Mike.” El’s head perked up. “Mike is Will’s best friend...and El’s boyfriend.”

“Is that so?” You smiled and turned to her. “What’s he like?”

“He’s...funny. And awkward. And a nerd.” She mumbled to you.

“He sounds very pleasant. Can’t wait to meet him.” You winked at her and she gave you a sweet little smile. You were very curious to hear what she had to say.

The waitress came back to take your orders. You and your dad got your usuals, Jonathan got a hamburger, El and Will got hot dogs, and Joyce got soup.

“You guys should try the rice pudding afterwards, it’s really good!” You told them and your dad rolled his eyes. “It is!”

“Pudding with rice in it?” El asked.

“Seriously, you gotta have some.” You told her. “I love it cold with cinnamon on it.” Your cousins were staring at you curiously. “C’mon, if you don’t eat it, I will.”

“Darlene loved her rice pudding.” Joyce chuckled. “You know, you look just like her.”

“I tell y/n that every day.” Your dad said. “It’s the eyes, I swear.”

“And the nose.” Joyce added.

“Oh, yeah.” Your dad agreed. The waitress came with rice pudding for everyone but your dad. Joyce ate it without a question, she had it every holiday with your grandma growing up. Your cousins (including El) stared at it hesitantly, then each took a bite. Jonathan remembered eating it once and hating it. Will spit it out. El took a second bite.

“Like it, El?” You asked.

“Not bad.” She actually managed to finish it.

“Sweet.” You did the same. “Anyone wanna make brownies tonight, or something?”

“Me!” El lit up. You were happy that she was warming up to you so fast.

“Sounds like a plan, we’ll make them from scratch.”

JULY PICKS!

You heard me correctly, I said JULY! Whoosh, this year is going by fast-but not in a good way if you know what I mean. This will be my last monthly wrap up where I am strictly staying home in quarantine as this upcoming week I’m heading back to work in person. Wish me luck!

We had quite the range this month from newly released, reality, musical and then some favorites from last month that I’ve continued watching. Without further ado here we go....

There’s going to be PLENTY of SPOILERS this go round. ESPECIALLY with my first pick of Stargirl. You’ve been warned!!!

DC’S STARGIRL

I need to talk about 1x10 or I’m going to burst!!! As stated above there will be A LOT of SPOILERS IN THIS POST!! So scroll down to the next picture if you don’t want it to be spoiled. 

You’ve been warned...again.

IT CANNOT END LIKE THAT!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Henry! Wow! 1) Epic fighting 2) The backstory and how he wasn’t going to give up on his dad AND THEN how he wouldn’t give into his dad. 3) HE DIED RATHER THAN JOIN HIS SIDE OR PRETEND (which I honestly felt was going to happen). His character arc and I can’t believe it’s over!!! 4) His speech at the end: *weeping.* I knew Brainwave was going to say he killed his mother. It just felt like the build up. Brainwave Jr. would have been a GREAT ADDITION TO THE JSA! AND OMG THE WAY THE REST OF THEM FOUGHT FOR HIM! I loved how they framed it so you could still see them in the back when Henry spoke to his father. Super heartbreaking. Man, it feels like a lot of people have been killed off this first season (or am I just still thinking about Joey?) 

Side note: Check out the Instagram Live between father and son Brainwave on Stargirl’s CW page. Jake Austin Walker did an AWESOME interview in his take over.

This was one of the strongest episodes overall and definitely one of my favorites so far. I agree with many others that while it is SOO GOOD and I want to rewatch it again, I don’t know if I can emotionally yet. I can’t remember the last time I felt that way about a show. 

Some other thoughts this episode: WAY TO GO BARBARA! Way to record them to translate later (such an awesome app btw, how do I get it?). I’m glad her and Pat came more to an understanding because I love them especially with that glimpse into how they met. Jordan’s parents give me the creeps, like the couple from The Visit vibes. I feel like Mike’s got to find out ASAP, especially because he’s spent time in the garage. Something’s got to show him the truth; because I’m really feeling he figures it out rather than being told. Very curious to see what his reaction will be. SOLOMON GRUNDY. Thank God Beth talked Rick down. She really is like Chuck in being the voice of reason. She did really well in the cafeteria too. While I still don’t believe Starman is Courtney’s dad, how cute was it when she put together her and Henry were cousins? Speaking of Court’s dad, who else didn’t feel like Starman was her dad until they saw that upcoming promo? I don’t know who that impostor is but he is not her dad. Something’s fishy.

Loving this show. So happy it’s renewed for a second season!! 

THE 100

From a show I can’t get enough of to one whose final season is a disappointment. I’m not going to spend too much time talking about The 100 because I feel I’ll just be repeating myself from previous posts. However, I did want to include it because I haven’t spoken much about the previous 2 episodes that I wound up watching back to back and I didn’t overly dislike them. 

As many have complained, when you have a final season you shouldn’t introduce SO MANY new characters and just push aside your originals (or the ones who are left). You also shouldn’t include so many confusing plots that are making it look like were the main points overall (like this many world concept was around since the first grounders) and playing with time in so many episodes is hard to keep up with too. Having so many people separated makes it difficult to remember what just happened to this specific group because I haven’t seen them in forever. ANYWAY, I did promise some positives. I didn’t except to like 7x08 because of it being a flashback episode with brand new people that was just going to feel like a potential spin-off pilot. Well...I actually really enjoyed it and the concept that the bunker was used before One Crew. The characters were easy to like and it was cool seeing Allie again (and this time not as the villain). While it felt forced including the orb (is that what it’s called? If not that’s what I’m calling it), but I liked how all the other pieces fit together (ex: the flame, the grounders’ language). Honestly, I surprise myself to say this, but I’d watch another episode. For 7x09, I liked being on Bardo and watching Octavia, Echo, Diyoza and Hope slowly get “brainwashed” I mean trained. We all knew it wouldn’t work for Hope and if I was them I would rather be on Sky Ring than Bardo (but then I guess I’d go crazy, so...) I enjoy the Octavia and Levitt relationship and would love them to work out, but if this show taught you anything it’s to be skeptical. I also want to shift to the Primes plot, just to showcase John Murphy for a second. THAT MAN! What a character development he’s had on this show. From the first season where I was like come on Murphy to now me awaiting his scenes. From cockroach to someone who won’t view himself as a hero. So good and something that is fantastic about this final season. They might have forgotten about other characters, but they’re doing it right by Murphy. 

Well, that was more than I was expecting. ;)   

THE CIRCLE

It feels like I haven’t watched a lot of reality TV this year, which makes sense because of our quarantine situation (but then again I’m watching World of Dance, but that’s a different because it’s more of a competition/dance show. I’ll stop rambling). The Circle is a reality ‘game’ show that could be easily completed during quarantine and social distancing because the contestants do not see each other in person. They each have an apartment in this complex and only communicate with each other on a social media platform called the Circle. The objective is to become the most popular and an influencer who gets power over who stays and who goes in the competition. There’s some side contests throughout, but most of the show is just people chatting through an insta messenger and trying to learn as much as they can. Alliances are formed and cat fishes try to thrive all for the grand prize of $100,000. (Wow, that’s a lot!) It is SUPER addicting and very funny. Having a voice-over narrator really makes it even funnier because she says what we’re all thinking. Just about every episode a contestant leaves and then is able to meet one other person in their apartment. It’s been cool seeing their reactions as oftentimes it’s someone they did not expect AT ALL. I can’t wait to finish it. If you’re a fan of Big Brother than this is definitely for you. Looks like there will be a second season, which I am excited about.  

THE BABYSITTERS CLUB

Jumping from one Netflix show to another. Released on Netflix on July 3rd, I tried not to binge it all in one day because then it would be over (and we still don’t know if there will be a second season yet). This is definitely my feel good watch for July. If you want something that’s a quick watch and just wholesome and fun to escape our current world than this is for you. I always felt so happy after watching and couldn’t wait to watch another. While I was familiar with the franchise--the 90s movie and of course the books (although I was more of a Babysitter Little Sister fan, so I was very excited to see Karen), you don’t have to have any knowledge of the Babysitters Club to enjoy this show. I was hooked just about right away by this new series shown by me watching the first three episodes back to back. I really like how they set up each episode with one girl as the main focus (just like in the books) where she takes over the voice-over narration. Great representation and made modern to fit in with our current times. The first example that comes to mind is when Mary Ann babysits Bailey who is transgender. I liked how Bailey says those are her old clothes while they’re playing. It’s shown in a way that explains the situation without feeling like a lecture. It fits so naturally into the episode. And then Mary Ann’s speech at the hospital is super powerful for both Bailey and herself. This is just one example of how well represented this show is. Extremely strong cast and actresses who are the proper ages. I also love the adult casting and how they threw in a Clueless reference from Alicia Sliverstone (who plays Kristy’s Mom). As someone who is writing for this age group, I really liked hearing and seeing how authentic this show is. 

FEEL THE BEAT

A Netflix original movie that has been on my list for a while that I just got around to watching. It didn’t come out too long ago. In the film, Sofia Carson’s character is a dancer who is a perfectionist. She gets on the bad side of a big NYC producer when she not only leaves her in the rain as she steals her taxi, but also knocks her, accidentally, off stage and becomes a viral video-this basically blackmails her in Broadway. This all happens within about the first 10 minutes of the film and the majority takes place back in her small home town (very Hallmark-like) in Wisconsin. While there her old dancing teacher wants her to share her Broadway wisdom with her young students. Meanwhile Carson has only been a chorus girl, so she doesn’t really have any. What draws her to helping the young girls is the chance to perform in front of a big choreographer that could get her to be the star she always dreamed of. The catch is that it’s the teacher dance in the childrens dance competition. While this might sound like a movie you’ve watched many times before, it was still worth it and a really fun watch. I think the kids really make the movie. They are adorable, funny and super talented. You feel connected with them really fast and want to see them succeed. I loved Dickie and how he joined the group. I think he was my favorite overall. I loved how inclusive the cast was here too (just like BSC) from a mixed race family, to single parents and even a student who was Deaf. It was great seeing the other actors sign to her. Carson’s character, April, can be annoying at times, but you understand it’s her character and something she needs to overcome. As I said before the plot may seem familiar, but the ending was something I didn’t see coming. Overall, wholesome, feel good and fun for the whole family. You can consider to watch while babysitting. (See what I did there??)  

VIOLETTA SEASON 2

She’s back! I know last month when I included Violetta it was mainly me being excited to see the second season FINALLY streaming on Disney Plus. I had watched a few episodes (remember there’s 80 altogether, so even if I watched 20 that’s still very early on and just a dent in the season) and was still getting used to this season. Well, now I’m happy to report I am in the 40s and more than half way. For a bit I was watching many of these episodes a day, which told me that I was loving it again. Recently, I feel I need a little more of a push to watch, but it’s mainly because of certain story-lines that feel like they’re dragging. (For example: Violetta’s voice. One minute it’s fine and the next she’s like dying). For this section I have two words: LOVE TRIANGLES. And I’m not just talking about Violetta, Diego and Leon. For a bit it felt like each character had their own love triangle, which honestly I was loving. These characters have definitely developed a lot from last season, which allows this to happen. Olga was in a love triangle, which just recently got resolved. I think German is still in one because of his alter ego Jeremias. Jackie was “kind of” in one. For her it was more of a misunderstanding, which is very classic on this show. Lots more secrets have been uncovered in these episodes as well as songs! You know how excited I am for those. Overall, I think I’m still enjoying season 1 songs more (which get referenced enough in this season), but some of the season 2 ones are really growing on me. Specifically Leon’s Entre dos mundos and when he sings with Diego Euphoria in English. Also, Yo Soy Asi has been real catchy. I know Frederico will be coming back soon and I can’t wait to see him again!  

HAMILTON

Like many I watched Hamilton this month-actually on the day it came out. It’s been a musical that I’ve been intrigued by, but never thought I’d get a chance to watch because of how popular and expensive it is to see on Broadway. So, I was very excited to hear I’d get the chance when it was to be released in theaters for a special event. Then because of Corona it was released to Disney Plus, which was EVEN more convenient and exciting. I really enjoyed it and watched it twice within the same week. I immediately downloaded the playlist and started singing it around the house. I do this a lot with many of the plays I see, but depending how good they are is shown by how long I listen to the soundtrack. (Some of my top ones are Bandstand, Once, Newsies and Anastasia.) Because there are so many songs in Hamilton it is taking me a little longer to know all the words, but I feel pretty confident with the first act. It was the perfect timing for this to be released on Disney Plus. Not only because it was July 3rd, but also because of the world we are living in. Lin’s diverse cast brings to life the world of 1776 and the revolutionary war (as well as the time after it), but it’s such a strong commentary on our world today. This is something I am continually noticing with historical dramas/pieces being released within the last 5-10 years. It feels like there’s more we can say in this genre than in a commentary piece. I also like all the analysis videos I’ve seen popping up, which just make it even more powerful. (Like it being Eliza’s story and her putting herself back in the narrative. That the play Hamilton is named for both her and Alexander.) I don’t know if all of what I see were intentional, but  either way well done. I hope it doesn’t leave Disney Plus soon. 

1917

And lastly, 1917. I promised quite the range this month and you can see that’s definitely the case. I always enjoy watching war films and with 1917 there was so much hype (both before it came out and after) that I was interested to give it a watch. Giving the movie to my dad for father’s day felt like the perfect excuse to be able to watch it. Even though our DVD stuck in a few places (still don’t know if it was the player or the DVD itself), the film was very entertaining and I would suggest it to anyone who is a history/film buff. Taking place in WWI, we follow two British soldiers as they attempt to deliver a message about an upcoming ambush that could take countless lives. I feel that I often watch more films revolving around WWII, so it was very interesting to be immersed in the first great war. After watching I am not surprised that the film was up for so many Oscars. While cinematography is the first thing everyone discusses when it comes to this movie (and it should be because the one shot/long shot is sooo impressive and beautiful to watch. It really brings you into the scene and has a way of making you feel like you’re there too. There’s a realness to it that’s raw and new compared to other war films I’ve watched in the past), there’s so much more to this film too. First, I like how it connects back to Sam Mendes’ grandfather, so while it’s not a true story it has real facts in it. I LOVE the score and music to this film. In the scene where George Mackay runs at night through those ruined buildings I could really hear how well the music worked with the action. Because of this I made sure to listen to some of the soundtrack and now I’ve added some of the songs into my writing playlist. I have chills just thinking about it. The other point I want to bring up is the cast! While there are SO MANY big names in this film from Colin Firth to Benedict Cumberbatch, the two main characters are played by George Mackay and Dean Charles Chapman and they are the ones with the most screen time. If their chemistry and acting wasn’t so great then the movie wouldn’t be as successful as it is. Because of this I have been watching non-stop YouTube interviews of the two of them for this film. 

They are so well-spoken, stand-up guys and I can’t get enough of their dialogues with each other and others. (You should watch these interviews too). While familiar with Chapman’s time on Game of Thrones, I haven’t seen him in much else, so I’m excited to see what he’ll have in the future (as well as checking out his IMDB page). For Mckay, I’ve seen him before when I just watched Ophelia earlier this summer so that was my first time watching him act. After that film I was curious what else he was in, but it was only after 1917 that I started doing more research. So far, I’ve only been able to watch the short film he was in called Infinite. While only 17 minutes it was very strong and deep. I highly recommend. As I’ve shared on this page already, in another post, the more I hear him talk the more of a crush I am developing. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced a celebrity crush this strong so soon. This quarantine has to end so I can make it to England to just casually bump into him like one does. :)

Things about the Season 3 Finale of Handmaid's Tale that Don't Make Sense

I will say first that I preferred this episode to much of the season, even if there were parts I thought were unrealistic to the point of absurdity while I was watching it.  But after a day and a half, the list of nonsense keeps growing.

June was walking with an armed escort since her walking partner is dead.  While some of the girls were sneaky about their soap, it was a lot of them - and some were downright Not.Subtle.  I'm not just talking about Janine, either, but let's start with her.  Why didn't the guardian - whose whole job is to make sure the handmaid in his charge can't get up to something - not even notice? it wasn't like she just grinned, either, she was giddy and spoke and talked about how she couldn't wait.  If my job is to make sure the person I'm guarding doesn't get up to something, in particular if I'm used to seeing myself as above the person I'm guarding, then I'm asking questions.  I'm demanding answers.  I'm checking the bag.  This guy stands next to her and stares into space.  Did she just get the guy who's really bad at his job?  (How convenient!)  Is he so used to assuming that "those silly women chattering on about nonsense" can't be plotting anything serious?  (Really bad outlook for a guard to have)  Given some of the other guardians we've seen and how they handle far less communication between handmaids, why doesn't this guy seem to give a shit?  Is he secretly in the resistance, too? Is literally everyone except Fred, Serena, and Aunt Lydia?

For reference, Rebecca and her martha traveled about 12 miles by modern roads, likely much more than that when you factor darting through woods and back yards.  How the hell big is the martha network that one in Lexington knew about this plot?  How does a martha from central Boston, whose duties generally aren't going to let her go too much outside the city, get information all the way out there?

Oh, and how the hell did the martha get rohypnol?  You can make it impossible to get antidepressants, but date-rape drugs are still floating around?  Was the use of that particular substance deliberate, given the assault in Gilead, rather than simply making it sleeping pills or whatever Mrs. Lawrence took?

Speaking of whom - so Lawrence is just going to let it go that June either let his wife die or actively killed her?  The look at the end of the funeral last week seemed to indicate he knew or at least suspected.  But this guy, who clearly adored his wife and tried to protect her for *years*...doesn't even take his anger out on June? She's mouthing off to him and he just shrugs and lets her do it?

Rebecca looks to be about 8-10 and doesn't really remember before.  She's one of the oldest kids in the bunch.  The younger ones have literally never known a pre-Gilead time.  Why are none of them upset at being taken somewhere?  Why is not one of them crying for mommy and daddy?  Why aren't any of them whining that they want to go home?  Hell, it's been several hours and a lot of walking - none of them are complaining that they're bored or tired or itchy or hungry or bored.  Has Gilead managed to break children of complaining? Because *that* is quite a feat!  But seriously, if at age 6 my neighbor (whom I knew and trusted) had told me "we have to go now, be very quiet" and made me leave my home without my parents, I would have tried to be quiet for awhile but would have had a LOT of questions.  Like why aren't Mom and Dad here? Where are they? Are they ok? What's happening?  Why do we have to be quiet? Why are we going through the woods and not on the street? To avoid being seen - but why? Why can't the guards see us? They see us all the time.  And if the answer came that she was taking me out of the country, I would have a lot more questions about why and why couldn't mom and dad come and what would it be like there.

And by the way, "you can be anything you want to be" doesn't really work in a world where there don't seem to be professions other than "martha" or "commander" or "lady of leisure" or "sex slave."  Getting to wear whatever you want doesn't really make sense if everyone wears the same thing, either.  It's not like the kid is going to think "oh, good, I can wear red because I like that colour but here only those women wear it."  Like...that's not helpful.  And I get that nothing she could say would be helpful to these kids because how do you explain a completely different world to someone who has no concept of what that world includes? But these are not helpful answers.  So let's go with what the kids might have a concept of - what refugee children talk about when they leave:  violence.  Guys with guns on every corner (yay canada!).  People who disappear without warning.  Though maybe the kids won't have any concept of that, either, because the commanders' families are kept so isolated and protected.

Were all the kids from commanders' families? They made it sound like Rebecca was an anomaly in that regard, but technically all the guys in suits with wives and handmaids are commanders.  And those are also the only homes that have marthas.  Everyone else has econowives, and everyone dresses in grey - even the kids.  So these children, in their pale pink and blue, they all have to be the children of commanders/wives/handmaids, right?  Why were only Rebecca's parents looking for her? Sure, she'd been gone longer, but if it's getting dark and my child isn't home, I'm going to be pretty freaked out and calling the guys with guns to find her, especially given the community turmoil lately - Nicole was "kidnapped," Serena and Fred and the guy from DC were all "taken" by Canada...considering how protective everyone is of their children, particularly in this world, they don't seem to pay very close attention to the kids' whereabouts.

This has bothered me since Emily at the beginning of the season but came up again: When you're trying to avoid being seen by helicopters overhead, TAKE OFF YOUR WHITE HAT!  It's bad enough you're in red...though I suppose given how few handmaids were on this adventure at least a few of them could have changed into spare martha dresses so they blend into the woods a little better.  (June has several dresses, you can't tell me marthas - who cook and clean - only have one.  You're telling me that the woman who thought to soap the back gate so it wouldn't squeak, who has gone undercover before, couldn't think to change into less visible clothing?)  But at the very least, the white thing on top of your head is going to be incredibly visible at night, even without flashlights.  Take it off ffs!

Was Janine always going to be going?  Why are no other handmaids trying to get out?  We have a handful of marthas who see this opportunity and are getting on a plane, but only Janine - crazy, traumatized, batshit-screwy Janine - has the wherewithall to think "...if a plane's leaving, it could take me with it too"?  Has she finally stopped trying to get back to baby Angela?  And if so, can she give June lessons in that because this whole "I'm staying behind to find my daughter" thing is getting to be a really old plot device.  

Were we supposed to be surprised that June was wiling to forego her seat on the plane? Because from the reactions of the other characters, I think we were supposed to be, but I was never under the impression she was leaving with the kids, I assumed she was going to stay and try to do another of these hair-brained schemes in a way that got more people of colour killed because that's what she does at this point.  

Why the hell did you think there wouldn't be guardians at the tarmac?  Even if Rebecca weren't in the group, even if no one were looking for these kids (and they should be, btw), but just in general: it's a plane that brings things into Gilead.  They're not checking for contraband?  Because if they're not, then the guardian are a) stupid and b) missing out on fantastic bribery/extortion opportunities.  

Did June tell Lawrence about giving away his art collection? Because poor Billy is in enough trouble already, but he thought at least he's be able to go raid that house.  But now that Lawrence stayed behind, I'm just picturing the bartender showing up in a truck to take out paintings and being greeted by a very angry commander.

Not one child pops up or down from the group at the wrong time.  Clearly these writers/directors have never seen an elementary school concert.

Back to the tarmac.  They made a big deal about June bringing her gun.  Why the fuck is she throwing rocks?  Is it because she's worried she's not a good enough shot?  If so, why bring it? And even then, since your goal clearly isn't to kill him - just distract him - given that you're throwing rocks which aren't going to hit him unless he's a blind moron...why not shoot his car?  Shoot, as long as you hit *something* he's going to turn to look for the source, you duck, repeat, same as the rocks only at least that way poor Janine gets the fuck out of Gilead.  And all the other marthas.

BTW, when June takes off running to draw the gun away from the tarmac...did everyone else go board the plane? They could have, but somehow Janine was still in Gilead.  Were the rest of the rock-throwers?  Because most of them are going to end up dead otherwise.  But the plane only seemed to have a small handful of adults, and the only one we saw enough of to recognize was Rita.

Ok, so we get to Canada, and I have to ask: Do they just have a hanger ready for refugee planes at all times? Because this operation was very well-stocked for a plane that just departed 40 minutes ago, and given that they had no idea kids were on-board, I suspect there wasn't a whole lot of communication beforehand about the plane coming, so how did the refugee assistance people even know to go wait at a hanger? That's also a really nice hanger for a random cargo plane.  Was all of that arranged in advance?  Because otherwise I imagine a sudden flurry of calls to Moira and co from the head of the RAFC going "holy shit, a plane full of refugees just arrived at the airfield where the fedex planes leave from, get people down here to help!"  But they've clearly been there awhile setting up and knew to expect people...but not to expect kids.

Unlike Hannah, who kind of remembers June but doesn't really feel connected to her anymore, Rebecca not only recognizes her dad but runs to him and throws her arms around him, as happy to see him as he is to see her.  So she doesn't remember before, but remembers her dad clearly enough to have actively missed him.  That...doesn't make a ton of sense given what we've seen so far.  Like, she's happier to see her dad than Oliver was to see Emily, and Oliver has had his memories of his mom actively reinforced by Syl this whole time.

(On a separate note, the most wrenching moment of the whole episode was Luke hoping for Hannah.  I love when shows use "the audience knows something the characters don't" to heighten emotions like that.)

Why, when Fred picked things to tell Tuello, did he go with pimping June out and NOT with the fact that they raped her to induce labor?  Is it because Fred still thinks that was totally fine, but June/Nick was a betrayal somehow?  Because given the fight they had at the house, it was clear Serena had decided after the fact that it was wrong and tried to throw it in his face when he was adamant he did it because she told him to and because he was trying to "fix [her] mess."    

(Also was I the only one who thought it was going to be that she had done something way worse? Been the one left holding the bag on the terrorist act that started the civil war?  Had secretly poisoned some prominent people? Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if she were the one who came up with the Ceremony in the first place, and architects of war crimes are still war criminals - hence Lawrence, remember?)

The morning after 52 children and a handful of adults escape Gilead, 6 women in bright red robes can walk through the woods near the tarmac from which the kids went missing to search for, rescue, and carry back another woman all in red...without anyone noticing.  Sure, that sounds like the guardians we all know and love for convenient plot purposes.

OCCUPATION: High school senior by day, musical hero also by day because time travel

English,French -> mandatory in school; Spanish -> friends, family, volleyball; Russian -> always been fascinated by cyrillic alphabet and all its variations but Russian is also a bit more useful in a job (if I’ll ever get to learn it well enough)

Who are your role models or inspirations? All the normal people who do something great (even if it’s not supposed to be great just normal, but it is actually great.. can you feel me?) / save lives

What do you do when you’re feeling down in order to cheer yourself up? Read, study a language or something, listen to music, but mostly go out and take photos

Opinions on social media? Love it? Hate it? Not sure, I’m not that much into them despite I recognize that, if used well (not thinking about how many people follow you and how they see you and mostly respecting the other person) they are good to learn from each other and exchange stuff and ideas and culture in general

Do you already have childrens’ names picked out? Kinda, but I’ll talk with their dad ofc (if I’ll ever meet him lol)

If you got to do-over one moment, what would you choose? Any moment with my dog

Do you want to be famous? I’m good here in the shadow

What do you do when you can’t sleep? Daydream, imagine some random FF in my head

Not really a question, but…go learn 5 words in your target language! Hmm should I write in Italian (for learners) or Russian? Whatevs, here both (RUS - ENG - ITA):

мо́ре - sea - mare не́бo - sky - cielo о́блако - cloud - nuvola о́зеро - lake - lago океа́н - ocean - oceano

1. Do you like spicy food? Yes, but not too spicy

2. If you could move somewhere, where would it be and why? Idk probably somewhere else in Italy.. I think it could happen only if I found a job or the love of my life (lol... mostly a job though). I like staying here.

3. What kind of learner are you (visual, auditory..)? Hmm... visual? I usually write stuff when I have to learn something, it helps me focus and remember. I used to have a very good photographic memory, but now... not that much lol

4. What was the last photo you took? This one I think.

5. What’s your cure for hiccups? Squeezing some lemon juice in my mouth (I hope this sounds bad only for a very tired me at past midnight).

6. Do you have a motto/ quote you live by? There are a few tbh, for example, as Confucius said: non fare agli altri ciò che non vorresti fosse fatto a te = Do not do to others what you would not like them to do to you.

7. Share your favourite meme or funniest joke. Honestly the thing I love the most is this gif because the first time I saw it, it said “me entering a spiderweb”, and that’s actually what I do when I accidentally enter a spiderweb. No more sure about my choice btw.

8. If you were to change your name, which one would you choose? I used to like Sabrina, and Alessandra. I’d go for the second one, despite I started to like my name recently.

9. What’s the one thing you regret buying? Uhmm... probably a pair of trousers I only wore a couple of times. I liked them but I don’t have many occasions to actually wear them.

10. What food do you crave often? Bruschetta, or salatini. Appetizers basically.

11. Describe your ideal day. Simply a calm, slow day. With no news at all. A pretty boring day, spent on my own, far from all the problems, and all the phones and everything. LOL

My Questions: using again some old questions nobody answered yet. 1. What is one thing you have to do but hate to do?? 2. Let’s suppose I’m visiting your hometown: what should I do/see first? 3. What’s your biggest dream? Is it the same you had when you were little? 4. Tell me a line/quote from your favorite book/song/movie 5. What’s the first word you learnt in the language you’re learning/have learnt? 6. Is there a very old memory you want to share? 7. Do you talk to yourself? What do you usually tell you? 8. Let’s suppose you have a terrible memory (as me), and you need to take a note: do you take a pen and write it down or do you write it on your smartphone? 9. Do you like to swim? 10. What’s your biggest passion? 11. Do you have a particular bad habit?

the stray kids tag

Rules: answer the questions in a new post, and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better.

I’ve decided that in celebration of Stray Kids pre-debut album I needed to create a tag. The ultimate goal for The Stray Kids Tag is to learn about your Tumblr mutuals, and have fun answering the Stray Kids related questions!  Here we go:

1: When did you decide to join the Stray kids fandom?

i saw a thread of information abt the suspected nine members before they were officially announced and was like ‘yes i must stan them and love them with all of my heart.’ so uh,,,,, back in august or september??

2: What is your favorite episode of Stray Kids? uhm, i’m gonna expose myself rn and let y’all know that i’ve never actually seen a full episode of the show; as soon as i heard it was gonna be a survival show, i knew that i couldn’t watch it bc my heart was too weak and i was emotionally incapable of becoming too invested while watching it; but from clips, i quite like the episode with the 3:3:3 mission, and also the last episode when all nine were reunited and told they were going to debut together

3: Who would you say is your bias in Stray kids?

my initial one was chan, and they i got rlly confused, and then slowly came to realize that it was jeongin (anything else after that is a fucking mess)

4: Who would you say is your bias wrecker in Stray kids?

literally kill me all of them bias wreck me so hard bUT hyunjin, jisung, seungmin, and chan have been wrecking me so hard in particular lately

5: What line would you want to be apart of in Stray kids? uHHH not dance line bc swimmers have 0 coordination on land; i quite like singing even tho i’m not good at, so probably that, but i can also hit all of chan’s english rap parts in 3racha songs, and keep up with lafayette’s raps in hamilton, and a lot of the english rappers i like too so uh,,, sign me up for rap line too

6: What is the first song you heard of Stray kids? hellevator

7: What is the first song you heard of 3racha? i think it was either hoodie season or runner’s high

8: What is your favorite song on their pre-debut album?

young wings or school life or yayaya (or grr or 4419 or glow or hellevator)

9: What is a concept you’d like to see Stray Kids try in the future?

i love their current optimistic and slightly rebellious teenager concept rn bc its an Eternal Mood; but i always love myself a soft boyfriend concept 

10: if you could meet with the members of Stray kids for one day what would you say to them?

how proud of them i am, and how proud of themselves they should be; i would tell them about how they’re saying things that resonate deeply for their fans and i love that they’re talking abt real world problems; i would also make sure to tell them (chan and 3racha especially) to make sure to rest more, and eat well, and take care of themselves emotionally as well as physically; and finally i’d like to tell jeongin how wonderful he is and that he’s doing so much at such a young age (lmao he’s actually eight months older than me but that’s no the point) and to never lose his cute little smile

finally done!! meri, if you actually read all of this, uh thank you????? i hope you now know everything you wanted to know abt me, and probably more than you wanted to know

i’m bad at tagging people, so if you also made it this far and haven’t done some of these tags, choose one, or a couple, or all of them and do them yourself!! just say that i tagged you!!

8x01: Plot Analysis - Time, Structure, Operation AOW

***Spoilers about for 8x01. Only read if you’ve already watched! You’ve been warned!***

Good morning Everyone! Sorry my analysis is a bit late today, but better late than never, yeah?

So what did everyone think of the episode? I liked it a lot, but it's hard to draw many conclusions based on what we saw. The setup for 8a feels a lot like 6a. As with Operation Lead the Walkers Away, I think the entire first half will only comprise a few days (I'll give you evidence in a second) and they'll be doing Operation All Out War the entire time.  

While that makes for super-exciting episodes, it also means we can expect the next few to end mid-action like this one did, and leave us with more questions than answers. So I'm excited for the next few weeks, but it does suck to have to wait to watch them.

Okay, let's dive in!

So from what we can tell (me and my peeps in the Safe Zone, I mean) there are actually two flashbacks or flash-forwards (whatever they end up being) going on.

1. There's Rick's Old Man Coda, in which we see Michonne, the back of Carl's head and a much-older Judith. And hear "Another One Rides the Bus" playing in the background.

2. There's also the one we see first, and then several times throughout the episode, which is Rick with INSANELY red-rimmed eyes. He looks pretty much like he does in the rest of the episode, so it's safe to assume this happens closer to the present than the Old Man coda does. 

We're thinking that we'll see this (him crying) either at the end of the fourth episode (whatever this is leading to may involve some tragedy) or possibly at the end of the season. The other thing I want to throw out there is that this could POSSIBLY be a flashback to something during the missing 17 Days after Coda. I'll admit up front that I have very little evidence for that. Just something I'm hoping for because...you know. ;D

Operation All Out War – What We Know:

I said there was evidence the first part of the season would only last a few days. It comes from Maggie's speech near the start. She says, "We all know the plan doesn't end this morning. We may have to live in uncertainty for days." So they're expecting not to know the extent or fallout of the plan for a few days. Given how little time we saw chronologically, I'm thinking it'll be at LEAST 4 episodes before we hit the end of that. I'll come back to this.  

Pay attention to the time they show us. I don't just mean the flashes. After the initial 3 minutes (which was released early) and the first part of Rick's speech, we see Tara and Carol on the overpass. Tara is chewing on her licorice, and says 10:28 am, but it's obviously ONLY the two of them there at that point.  

Later, we see Carol, Tara and Morgan on the highway, and then Daryl arrives on his bike. Tara's watch says 7:50 at that point, and obviously both are happening in the morning. (Her watch says AM both tines.) At first, I assumed this happened later than when they, Morgan and Daryl meet on the highway to wait for the horde. Because the time is later. So I just figured they were showing things out of order. 

On closer examination, the part with Carol and Tara on the overpass, her watch says Wednesday. On the highway, it says Thursday. So the bit on the overpass with her and Carol happens the day before. The other thing that happens the day before is Daryl and Dwight communicating via arrow (kinda awesome, btw). We can surmise that because Daryl's message says, "tomorrow."

Still, we're not told in an obvious way what Tara and Carol were up to on the overpass. We can assume they're tracking the walker horde as part of the plan. Maybe just timing how long it will take for the horde to get from the bridge to the highway? Still, there must be come reason to show that, specifically. I have some ideas. Could be symbolic. I’ll talk about it more tomorrow.  

After the highway, we see the four of them on that bridge waiting for the Saviors' cars to trip their booby trap and explode. Then they meet in the street where the horde is coming and Daryl gets ready to blow stuff up. Then they split up. The next thing we see is them in different groups attacking different outposts, so they're being pretty mysterious early on what the plan actually is.

Near the end of the episode, we see them attacking 3 different outposts. I'm thinking the plan is to hit all the outposts simultaneously, or an least one right after the other. That makes sense because if Negan survives the attack on the Sanctuary, he could just fall back to another outpost. They all have to go.

So we see Carol, Ezekiel, and lots of Kingdomers attacking one outpost. It's the one with the medical research building, and at the end, someone blows up a door that unleashes walkers on them. (Incidentally, the sneak peek for next week shown on TTD picks up this story line, so 8x02 may be a Carol-heavy episode.)

We see Rick and Daryl hit a second outpost, pushing open a set of iron gates. 

And Morgan and Tara are at a third, discussing with Diane whether or not she can hit the guards with her bow through a ring of walkers.  

I gotta say, this all gives me hope. We don't know how many outposts the Saviors have, but if they're going through a bunch of them, hitting them systematically, the chances of them running into...you know, somone?--are pretty good.

Again, this makes sense for what Maggie said because if they're moving outward and hitting targets, they'll have to wait for all the groups to report back (assuming they all do) and that may take a few days. It's interesting because this is so similar to S6's Operation Lead the Walkers Away. Rick's group has done this before. Their experience with a big op like this gives them advantage, and they know what to expect and how to deal.  

Carl's Arc

Still watching Carl's arc super-close. I know I sound like a broken record, but once again, Carl found the music box in 5x10 and brought it to Maggie. Obviously we'll see more of this Siddiq-like character. They wouldn't have introduced him if he wasn't going to reappear, and there's that sneak peek that shows Carl finding him in the woods. So I'm still feeling like this dude will lead Carl to Beth, and Carl will bring her back to Maggie in some way.  

Also interesting that Michonne tells him, "This is your show." That's got to play into his arc this season in some way.  

The other interesting thing is that we don't know how the gas station arc fits into the timeline. Maybe we should assume it happened before Operation All Out War. They were obviously gathering supplies and all those explosions would have benefited from gasoline. But it doesn't actually tell us when it was or, if it was prior, how far in advance it was. So for right now, it stands outside the rest of time line. INTERESTING.

Also? Right after Rick scared the guy off, and Carl got all surly and walked away, Rick turned around and a blond walker (much like 1x01) is standing there. See what I'm getting at? Siddiq character leads to blond zombie girl? So yeah, not much more to say just yet. We didn't see enough. And all the 1x01 parallels have already been analyzed to death. But definitely side-eyeing this story line.

(Side Note: the guy says someone threw a microwave at him. That was such a random line. Anyone have an insight into what the point of that might be? Just wondering.)

Finally, I'll have to look into this more, but Siddiq mentions "the traveler." He talks about helping the traveler and defines the traveler as someone without a home. It's something his mother used to say but symbolically, it's super important. 1) Who do we think has travelled a long way to get to D.C? 2) The Traveler was, I believe, one of the tarot card characters. I need to refresh my memory on that and I'll update, but it jumped right out at me.  

Rick's Old Man Coda:

Not much else to say here either. They'll obviously reveal more with each episode. I noticed that they were a little mysterious about the song. At one point, we hear Carl say, "I didn't put this song on." So they were vague about who did. Now, because of School Bus Predictions, I want to read something Beth-ish into it. BUT. It also occurred to me that it could have been a Judith thing. Maybe it was only meant to be a mystery of a few minutes before they showed us how much Judith had aged. She's now old enough to choose and put on her own music.

I don't know, though. It all felt very two-edged.

The other symbol my group instantly jumped all over was the owl. We only caught a glimpse of it outside near the end, but it's a potent symbol. The last owl we saw was the sculpture Jessie built with her boys. (You know, the blond who got stronger and killed a wolf with a pair of scissors?) Here are some more posts on owl symbolism (X, X, X). It's a very potent symbol and could point to Beth showing up in Rick's Old Man Coda at some point.  

Father Gabriel

The only other major story line is Father Gabriel's. (Stupid Gregory!) I really hope FG doesn't die for Gregory's stupidity.  

FG has been a proxy for Beth in the past. It's really too early to say whether he is here or not, but he's definitely left behind here. Rick makes the specific decision to not go back for him because it's not about one person. That could all work for Beth being left behind. 

Even Daryl's part in that convo ("We can wait some more") is kind of interesting. Then FG ends up, through no fault of his own, in close confines with Negan. Surrounded by a walker horde. With the hands on the windows theme. (Walker Hands Theme: X, X, X) Again, it definitely could work as a proxy to Beth based on what we've already theorized, but it's a little early to tell for sure. Again, just curious to see where they'll go with it.

General Themes:  

1. Hope – We had a lot of talk of hope, from Carl at the gas station and in other places. Carl says, "It's not going to be enough, Dad." Rick: "Enough what?" Carl: "Hope." Eric told Aaron he was praying. He'd always meant to start. Ezekiel says, "As surely as day defeats the night..." So a big theme.

2. Tomorrow Theme – Again, I'll talk about this more in my titles meta (I should be able to post it later this week) but we saw not only Daryl's Tomorrow note to Dwight, but again, Ezekiel's line about day defeating night, and Rick and Maggie's convo. Rick: What about tomorrow? Maggie: You been thinking about what that looks like. As I've already said, I think it represents what happens after they've won the war and obtained some peace. Like Rick's Old Man Coda may be a representation of "Tomorrow."

3. Count down. They're definitely counting down to something, symbolically as well as in the episode. We have the clocks, Rick counting down for Negan. (Interesting that he only gets to seven before he starts shooting). So perhaps it's symbolic of them counting down to something big, coming in ep 4?  

Okay, I'm gonna quit there for today because this is getting long. Here's what to expect this week. In the next day or three, I'll post a Details post about specific symbols seen in the episode, I'll do a post on TTD, cuz lots of suspicious stuff going on there. I'll also analyze the opening credits and then try to get my titles meta up later in the week.  

What did everyone else think of episode 8x01?

I decided I wanted one of them to take home so I grabbed hold of its tail, but it was stuck and I kept pulling and pulling and eventually the tail actually came off of the lizard! Immediately I started crying.

One Christmas 9also when we lived in Cyprus actually) I wanted snow on the Christmas tree, but we didn't have fake snow, so I decided to use my mum's expensive face cream and smothered the tree in cream. 

The same Christmas, me and my brother woke up before my mum and dad and decided to “sneak” into the front room to open the presents. When we got to the front room door, the handle had been taken off the door and closed, so we decided to go around the back door, which was also locked. Then tried looking through the windows but they had put bin bags all over the windows and drawn the curtains.

25 Things Korean Dramas Taught Me

I'm relatively new to the world of Korean dramas, but I landed with a splash. With a few dramas under my belt, I thought it was time to share my two cents. Here are things I've learnt applied to real life(ish/sorta)

happily addicted at this point

1. If you're cute, two men will chase after you... one will often tell you your ugly though. 

 2. Other girls will hate you (bully you) for not being pretty enough for their leading men 

Don't they know its what's inside that counts? Gahhh!

 3. Perseverance. Never give up on getting your man...

No love is true till it withstands the test of time, side chicks, evil moms, dads, siblings... literally

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

 4. Bullying is severe...

Oh what i'd give for our heroine to throw a knock out punch just once

 5. If you have another man chasing you,  go with him. The road to getting your leading man is treacherous.

I suffer from serious Second Lead Syndrome... the second lead is always the better man, but he's forever stuck in the friendzone! GAAHHHH! 

Okay, Young Do treated her worse, but what can I say? Them eyebrowssssss

 6. Mother in laws aren't your friend. You're never good enough for her son

Tell a lie, some mother in laws have been great... so that's a bit of a most times but not always.

  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

7. The scene isn't dramatic enough till you've seen it from a minimum of 5 different angles

Cut to close up- cut to aerial - long shot - close up again - now extreme close up cos we need to see the beads of sweat - finally dum dum dum... slow motion

 8. The leading man will forcefully grab your hand and pull for a hug at least 3x in the drama

whilst you walk away in extreme slow motion of course... I mean you're really trying to get away from him inni? Yhh...sure...

 9. The ditzyer the female the better

I know I said this already, but I mean, can we get more strong don't care about nothing female leads...

K! I spoke too soon, I've since discovered super strong female characters... but "playful kiss" will always have the most annoying first lead everrr!

 10. Your childhood love is always better the second time round as adults.

Your love isn't true unless you've met and had a moment at some point in your childhood... I mean how else would it be destiny?

11. Get you a chaebol and ghost

Oppa saranghaeyo... Lordt knows I need me a Chaebol

 12. Somehow, He always shows up to fight the bad guys just in the nick of time.

logistics for why... At this point I don't even question it anymore. *Que knock out punch from leading man in 5,4,3...*

 13. Revenge and Love are the only reasons.

Because why else...

  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

14. "Healer" was amazing.

Lordttt! The way Ji Chang-Wook switched it up from nerd to badass so effortlessly... I wasn't ready for all those facial expressions.

 15. Betrayal is a given...

What's a drama without betrayal tbh...

 16. If he doesn't give you a piggyback at some point, he doesn't love you.

Soju and a piggyback... recipes for a mess!

 17. Someone always denies their feelings till the last hour

Like... I know, he knows, they know...why don't you knoww... then we get a sweeping confession likee... Lardttt! so much angst!

 18. There's always another heffer who's tottally out of your league tryna win your man's heart.

tbh, I wouldn't even compete... like plis, have him... the stress she puts you through is too much mehn - Not too mention everyone is already ridiculously attractive. plis plis, lemme just stay in my lane.

19. Everything is fate or destiny.

Coincidence? What is that in dramaland...More like an irrevoqable power drawing us together because we're meant to be... durh 

 20. There's always a white man playing some sort of business man. - he's usually a bad actor.

I'm not here for them tbh... why's english the language of authority and intelligence? *speaks in english to prove how awesome I am* -_- 

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

21. Everything happens in the penultimate episode. All the episodes prior are just build up. The last two minutes of an episode are the craziest though! So you can't help but binge watch. 

That penultimate episode usually has you hanging at the edge of your seat... my heart can't handle it tbh

 22. If your man doesn't cry at least once, does he really love you?

Girl, you better poke him and force a few tears out. Real men cry b!

 23. Diversity isn't really a thing... I screamed when I saw my first black character with lines!!

Yoooo!!! Moorim school had me gornnn, I was like "yasss gwarnn black man".

However, it's awesome how integrated and open the world is becoming! One step at a time.

 24. Melodramas are the next best thing after fairy tales

I've replaced my Fairy tale happy ending obsession with Melos...good guys win, baddies get shut down fi dead.

I should specify this whole list is practically only about melos... that's all I watch, I'll update it when I branch out...lol

 25. Get ready for a rollercoaster of angst, bitterness and tears (happy and sad tears btw)

If you're anything like me, you get invested the moment the leads open their mouths. Which means every slap, water throw and hardship stings. I still dislike some actors for evil roles they've played in the past.

Added a couple more, because damn... I need you to feel me!

But then some moments make it all worth ittttt...the fangirling never ends

ha! you must have thought I was done...

Finally..."There's a world outside your window"... 

Who'd have thought I'd love Korean dramas as much as this... the stories, the actors, the humour, even the shade... I'm bout ready to hit up Seoul like "where the partaaaay at"

Before I drop the mic, I wonder if anyone can guess my favourite dramas and actors from the gifs alone? LOL! 

I wrote this list when I first started my addiction (around April 2016). Having found it again whilst rummaging through my drafts - the land of forgotten posts lol - I realise it's slightly outdated. I've since learnt new things, so I should update it (maybe, oneday, we'll see).
