#but i'd still say watch 2023 first if you're a person with zero attachment to the 90s era

[pidgydraws]

aww, pidgy, that was a wonderful answer to my question ;w; i feel heartened by your thoughtful and sweet response! does trigun have a happy/hopeful ending? i'm interested in it now i think XD

i think i will say... if you pursue Trigun... you're gonna suffer~ but you're gonna... enjoy... it????? (i would assume lol) it is full of comedy and fun, cool action and gun fights, kindness and joy~ but also CRUSHING SADNESS. so~ that's my take on it? XD (but i am also VERY bias) it's in my top 10 anime of all time; for what that's worth. but probably in my top 3 emotionally-foundational anime? i'd probably say~ jump in with the 2023 adaptation, and if you fall in love, choose your own adventure as far as whether to watch the 90's anime or read the Trigun Maximum manga. either is good X3 (or both. both is also good!)

then again! i am also easily moved to tears and am torturously full of empathy and inability to remain unaffected by IMAGINARY THINGS ((O W O)) so also just assume i'm a jellyfish and the average person might have no feels at all about any of it???? ((9O A O))9 i'm not sure how much suffering the average person can create inside their brain!!!! CUZ I CAN CREATE A LOT!!!!!!! loollllll

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 20

"Boom Town"

I typically watch Supernatural first for two reasons:

at the outset, I was far more excited to be rewatching Doctor Who because that's the show I was more attached to out of the two. So, I wanted to savor that, and

a bitch is a scaredy cat sometimes, and if I can not be scared right before going to bed, I'm gonna do that

But today...today Doctor Who decided to bring back the Slitheen family, and I am never excited about seeing them.

This is the one that brings back the rift from the Charles Dickens episode, isn't it?

I'm sure that this room is more recognizable to those actually in the UK like how we(/U.S. Americans) would immediately recognize when a scene takes place in the oval office, but sadly I am as stated above.

These shots are definitely making me want to visit Wales again because I definitely didn't appreciate it like I should have back in 2000.

I can't imagine being Mickey, though. First your girlfriend goes off with the Doctor and now not only is she still with the Doctor but Jack is there too?? And you're still waiting around for her right now? He needs more self-esteem.

At the same time, I think I'd find the TARDIS team every bit as irritating and weird as Mickey does if I had been left behind, too.

OOOO, this...actually this journalist is probably going to be the next one to die because of "the curse" the nuclear power plant in the middle of Cardiff. Poor thing.

It's a nice twist that human or alien or human-alien connection based around family did save the journalist.

Okay okaaaaaaay the last of the Slitheen constantly trying to get away from Team TARDIS IS in fact funny.

Yeah, lady, LAST episode it was "just this once, everybody lives!" not today. Apparently, today, the Doctor doesn't care if you die.

Okay. Like, I hate her but also...she's very compelling for this episode. Because she's not entirely wrong about them knowingly taking her to where she would be executed and how that guilt would eat away at them.

Fuck. She is DIABOLICAL. Aaaaand funny. "Dinner and bondage. Works for me."

It's really shitty of Mickey to want to take Rose to a hotel while he's actively dating someone else, but I don't think Rose gets to be this mad that he's dating someone else. Bestie, you left first.

Mickey's speech here is heartbreaking. You always expect someone to say "I won't." or "I'm not going to do that." when they ask another person, someone they love DEARLY, if they're just standby and if they're just expected to just wait for them forever. But Mickey. Mickey says "because I will," and that's a whole other level of devastating.

Okay...I don't think this is necessarily about the Doctor here, Mickey. I think it's about, I dunno, the fate of the WHOLE WORLD?? WHICH YOU LIVE ON??

Amazing how Rose can run like that while the ground is breaking up without even stumbling lol

I bet she thought "surf's up" sounded really cool.........

I can't believe there's only 2 episodes left in this season.

"Provenance"

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: Why would you buy a creepy painting like that? Ew that squelch...This is why you buy Monet prints. The likelihood that you'll die from one of his landscapes coming to life isn't zero but it's about as close to it as you can get

There's...a LOT of research that has to go into being a monster/demon/whatever hunter. Not only do you have to know about all the different kinds of supernatural creatures out there from basically every culture, you also have to be good at recognizing patterns. And by patterns, I mean murders that happened decades apart but are, for the purposes of this show, linked.

Oh. this is a VERY fun motel they've checked into.

Aww, swooping in to save Sam's dignity in the fancy schmancy restaurant and their probably outrageously expensive wine list. And she was so smooth about it.

OMG. Is she another one? Sorry, I was glancing the imdb page for this episode before really diving in because I remembered there was an episode that was filmed at the botanical gardens here and I wasn't sure if it was this one (don't think it was), but it said this was the first appearance of Sarah Blake, which means more appearances. And she just said her mom died about a year ago...which doesn't 100% hold up with Sam and Max, but still...could be part of the psychic kids club thingy.

This historian? librarian? is so excited to help out. I love this for him...as long as he doesn't get killed by the painting.

I don't know that I'd ever recover, let alone ever want to see the Winchester brothers ever again if I experienced what Sarah did. But what does she do? She insists on going with them...could never be me

Paintingception...why do you have to check the painting in the painting??

Does the whole "you have an eyelash on...no...can--can I get it for you?" thing work? Like in real life?

On one hand, I totally see where Sarah is coming from. She could very well die any number of ways tomorrow that would have nothing to do with the Winchesters, but...I don't think she grasps that, like, they are being TARGETED by this demon. It's one thing to not know what good or bad could happen, but it's another to know that he people you love are living breathing targets for a demon who's coming after you. Either way, the fact that she and Sam can't be together is sad.

The realest thing to happen and the realest dialogue in this is when Dean is struggling to break open the glass at the mausoleum and then remembers he has a gun and says out loud "Come on, Deeean!"

"Been On My Mind...": Dean does hook up with a next-to-nameless girl completely off screen...but considering he was posing as a reality tv show producer, gross, Dean. Gross. Bad. Yet...I love how absolutely embarrassing to be around he gets when Sam takes a liking to a girl. And Sam does get to kiss her
