My toxic trait is believing that after Kab and Clown have their talk they will make up, he will start logging on more and everything will be even better than before 😔

Yes, she's spoiled. But I mean, look at her. She deserves it!

I don’t need a series about the next gen of TLH but it would be fun if we could learn a little about them through references that Tessa made.

Like:

Tessa to Kit: ya know who Ash reminds me of is Penelope Fairchild when she was young. Penny and her twin Louisa were very smart but while Louisa was more outgoing I always felt that Penny was more secretive like Ash.

OR

Tessa to Jem (looking at Kit with Mina): Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Jem: Alastair and Zachary

Tessa: Yes, I’m so glad Mina has a Kit in her life, I just hope for Kit’s sake and Mina doesn’t go through a phase of pranking her brother like Zachary did with Alastair

AND

Tessa watching Rafe and Max along with Mina:

(Max upset bc he is trying to draw something but it’s not coming out how he wants it to)

Tessa: It’s ok to not get it right the first few times Max, here let me tell you a story of one of your ancestors Christopher Joshi-Lightwood, he wanted to be an artist too…

doki doki precure novel coming out soon has left me with some thoughts. chief among them though is which version of rikka are we going to see. show rikka? or manga rikka?

show rikka is a dork but at the end of the day is a confident person and is ready to help her friends, be student council, and save the world and stuff. while she DOES have it for mana she realizes by the end that mana is happier being closer with regina (and besides she already has whatever the fuck she has going on with ira as well)

manga rikka is a wet cat who cannot take makoto going from hating manas guts to tolerating her without literally screaming and crying and running out of the room before immediately thinking "yo what if cure heart hit ME with one of those love arrows whatd that feel like". shes down horrendous and its incredible

I've been thinking about going back to school for a few years. But now it's official because I just received a message that I've been accepted for admission tests. The downside is that I wouldn't have almost any free time for the next 2 years. The upside is that I could do all the internship hours at my workplace, so it's knowledge and a paycheck at the same time.

[professional-bulshitter]

so so I finally found words for it but there is no way Annie as a character is meant to be with Jeff,,, and yes this does come from a place of hate for anything even remotely related to JeffAnnie but it's also more than that and totally based on their behavior towards each other throughout the seasons but I just found the perfect moment that incapsulates it

and that is in 4x13 Advanced Intro to Finality wherein Jeff is ready to graduate and there's sorta paintball with the darkest timeline and all that (which just saying is such a cool fucking setup but this is not the post where I talk about it) and both the Annie's (from the normal and darkest timeline) are facing off against each other,,, what the evil Annie tries to persuade the normal Annie with is the fact that they (jeff and her) are sleeping together in this alternate future and normal Annie literally responds with, and I quote, "No-one is supposed to sleep with him. Not even me." let that sink in

Now does this seem like somebody who has a serious romantic crush/is in love with the guy? What it seems like to me is a case of admiration (as a person and a human being) which is further warped into her assuming it's love because that's what we're supposed to do and told to do by society... What is more she obviously views Britta as a woman who (might not be the smartest and I will always hate on how the show ruined her character) but is still recognised and acknowledged as a woman,, something that Annie feels alienated from since most people look at her and tend to infantilize her (which is also a part in her dynamic with Jeff which is just,, n o),,, so a lot of the tines she tends to look at britta's choice of partners to turn to, to fall in love with (obv this is something that I derived from the 6 seasons laid out before me but this is my opinion and yeah)

and yeah the question then becomes why didn't she do the same with Shirley,,, number 1. Shirley is obviously in a different place in her life with her husband and kids,,, number 2. Shirley and her also have quite a big age gap which is again only widened by number 1,,, and number 3, if you notice properly there are episodes wherein you can see her try to emulate Shirley,,, the easiest and most off the top of my head example being the one where they are the campus security together which does end with her professing that she wants to be a grown powerful woman like her.

Now, if we talk about her other main crush, talking about Troy here throughout the first few seasons,,, it's again based a lot on her admiration for him for being popular and again THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AND WANT TO BE especially when you're literally at the sidelines of the high school hierarchy so much so that you would busy your ass to score good and do good but still never be known by anyone or acknowledged for anything you do,,, and she technically knew nothing about him which at most i can grant her being infatuated w him and yeah

and most of her attraction to anyone feels very surface level,, in the this-is-what-i've-seen-people-do-so-this-is-what-i-need-to-do-as-well,, instead of being properly attracted in a,,, i want to be romantically with you sense,,, she's essentially creating a fairytale of her life and idealising it and all the models she has for them are heterosexually inclined,, so this is the kind of behavior she ends up adopting and emulating,,

so a large part of Annie's behavior I do chalk up to heterosexual compulsivity (or comphet) because there are moments throughout wherein she shows more admiration and love for women than men in a i-want-to-be-with-you kind of way (and it would be really interesting to look at her struggle as a difficulty to differentiate btw I want to be her,,, and I want to be with her)

a large part of her character is also so interesting to me because of the fact that it feels like she gets away from the writers quite a bit,,, because a lot of the instances you can see how the writers want her to be perceived vs how she ends up being perceived by us (but that's true for most things related to media concerning the expected reception vs the actual reception)

i didn't know this was going to end up being a lesbian or at least queer Annie post either,, but apparently that's my truth and I stand by it

(also I do acknowledge the fact that the part of all this (the part about her being queer) can be chalked up to my own desires and biases and a little bit of projection but regardless,,, in any case, JeffAnnie is still weird and bad and doesn't really fit for their characters regardless (technically for both of theirs but this too long already) and I'm a firm believer of that (anti JeffAnnie till the day I die fr)

HEY WAIT A SEC WHAT IF WE FINALLY GET THAT CROSSOVER EPISODE WITH THAT MUTANT MAYHEM SPINOFF SHOW THAT GOT GREENLIT-

gifs borrowed from @nick-nellson for the sake of my unnecessary commentary.

Oh.

Ok. So Henry totally kissed Alex because he was probably buzzed and he truly thought he would just take his shot, kiss the guy he's been crushing on for years, then fly back to London to never think about it again.

But then Alex kissed him back. Like it's obvious in the first gif that he is surprised by the kiss, which Henry probably expected. What he didn't expect was for Alex to lean into it the way that he does in the second gif.

And that's where we get that look from Henry in the second gif. Because in that moment he knew he fucked up, but he realized that he fucked up in a completely different way. He didn't expect Alex to show any kind of reciprocation and yet here's our favorite bisexual disaster kissing back, very intently just messing with our poor Prince's understanding of how the world worked.

I can't wait to see Alex's face in that moment, right after the kiss, and just watch the sexuality crisis just wash over him.

Is it the 11th yet?

Things I Want in Wednesday S2

I hope they don't gloss over Enid's scars on her face. Since we know how much thought she puts into her appearance, I hope they don't magically disappear, but actually affect her in some way. And obviously, I want Wednesday to be the one to make her feel better about it.

Xavier needs to be a genuine FRIEND to Wednesday. All his pining in S1 reduced his character so much. I need to see more layers.

More actual school stuff if possible. The high school setting is underutilized in my opinion. I would also like a friendly teacher who takes a liking to Wednesday (and perhaps whom Wednesday also tolerates to some degree).

Please get Gwendoline Christie back in whatever form possible. I'll even take a Force Ghost type of thing, just get her back.

Wenclair confirmation, or at least some proper slow-burn build-up to it. I know that endangers the show to cancellation (because Netflix sucks), but I still want to see it.
