Sengoku Night's Blood Episode 1 Recap

This anime is of course based on an otome game based on the Sengoku/ Warring Era of Japan (if you are not familiar with Japanese History it basically boils down to a lot of asshole daimiyos and lords fighting each other for lands and influence cuz the emperor was just a symbolic figure and couldn't control them anymore so they were just like fuck law, it ended when three warlords: Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu gradually unified Japan. After Tokugawa Ieyasu's final victory at the siege of Osaka in 1615, Japan settled down into several centuries of peace under the Tokugawa Shogunate.) which I think will come onto play later on the series, I haven't played the game so who knows? But I do know there are characters named after these three important historical figures. *On this first episode we get a shot of modern day Tokyo? I guess? Well a city and a girl (our MC) is walking and gets out her pone when bam the phone swallows her in a wierd shojo light and suddenly she is in the Sengoku Era, of course she doesn't know that and is extremely confused when she hears a battle taking place just breyond some bushes, actually I understand why she doesn't move or does anything cuz she doesn't know where the hell she is and drawing attention to herself in the middle of a battle doesn't sound like a great idea to me. *Yeah so after the battle is won, MC makes a little scared sound and attracts the attention of the winner side the Leader Toyotomi Hideyoshi introduces himself (MC recognizes the name so I guess she knows she is the Sengoku Period at least??) and his merry crew, I can't remember all the names sorry (there are a a shit ton of characters and I feel this will turn into an UtaPri kind of franchise or will die trying to be) but some of them sounded familiar and then when the name Masamune Date came up I realized they are the names of lots of real samurai and ninja clan warriors from the Warring Era (neat) so anyway sexy otome versión of Toyotomi Hideyoshi decides to take MC (seriously she doesn't have a name yet and I am raging cuz I love my otome girls) with them for shits and giggles and barely makes a comente about her strange clothing (Lmao this is why I love otogames) *Then we jump to a keep with lots of furries???? I was confused af tbh everyone had these moe ears but they were warriors (I asume they are the ninjas cuz one of them is called Sasuke and is only fitting) anyway they are fighting as well and yeah there is not much plot to be found here but nice way to fuck me up and tempting me to buy the fricken games (well played otomate) #I am weak *We are in Toyotomi's war council and for some reason MC is there (so no suspicion of her being a spy? Really guys? These kinda games always include that aspect) and she is just as confused as me as to why must she be with them and acompany them to battle so she asks, and they all are like well Toyotomi is intrested in you so you stay as long as he wants *shrug* (Lmao I love this) unfortunately MC is just not into the idea (I love she gives no fuck's about being surrounded by bishies) and goes to a meadow to brood when suddenly a tanuki who by the way denies to be a tanuki but totes looks like one appears before her and gets all teary and Kuwaii, so basically there was a being called Himemiko-sama who kept peace on the land or something but when she dissappeared the war begun amongst.... Wait for it: Werewolfs (they are the furries btw), Vampires and the Tanuki's species so kinda like kawaii animals who speak. LMAO we gonna ignore all the history folks #otogelife, anyway before dissappearing Himemiko told Tanuki that he must look for the girl of the other world, and of course that means our MC,who is like nice story bud but why should I give a crap? When she realises that maybe this Himemiko knows why she came into this world and could also return her home and she accepts to help him. *Suddenly they are interrupted by Toyotomi (tanuki dissappears inside a bush) and he sits with MC and tells her not to be shared and lots of other doki doki stuff. *So they are fighting and Toyotomi is an overconfident ass, they get attacked from behind and MC reasonably freaks out, they run while Toyotomi slashes through those soldiers like they were butter, but dama he gets injured for being a cocky ass, MC says she wants to help him in some way cuz he saved her (honey he also put you in danger it the first place but k) and he gives he a katana and is like then fight, she though visibly scared agrees and tales the weapon (I am in love, give this girl a name pls) and he just laughs handsomely and says he won't lose to her in bravery, gets up to fight some soldiers that found them. *Night falls on them and they decide to return to the camp, she worries about his injury but he is like dun worry I heal fast (my spidey senses are tingling) but oh noes what happened to you! She has a little scratch on the neck (lol we all know where this is going but yassss give it to me) and brushes it up like nothing, but he is like oh god your blood~ I am a vampire but never felt the urge to drink blood like this ( Yes they made Toyotomi Hideyoshi a bishie vampire) so he leans in and licks her neck (oh my! *insert george takei gif*) she is shocked while he is like relax girl I only drank a lil' bit when bam! A wierd shonen energy surrounds him (is he also a saiyan?) and wooooahhhh her blood as it turns out has super speshul powers (I knew it) and the wham! A super gothic vampire Prince appears and it turns out to be Oda Nobunaga (what? Is Tokugawa a vampire or a flurry wolf?? #I need answers) and the episode ends. Final thoughts: LMAO, what can I say? is is hillarious, nothing makes sense and every historical figure is a hot bishie but idgaf, I needed something like this after all that GoT drama, actually I am hella intrigued at where the fuck is this plot going but yeah overall enjoyable, not the best beginnings there is to a reverse harem, actually a rather weak start but who knows maybe it'll pick up and let me a mess until the Second season (like UtaPri) actually has a lot of Reverse Harem characteristics and I hope they don't let me down on the romantic development department.

Riverdale S2 speculation?

So I guess is safe to asume most of us have seen the wedding/kilt photos and wonder where do they fit on season 2 (or in the show tbh) and I think I have an idea. So frist I was reminded of the 2008 rom-com 'Made of Honor' (but I just watched it yesterday so it's no wonder) and in a strange turn of thoughts I also remembered the 'Blast from the past' 50's pictures we got last season that turned out to be Juggie's dream, and suddenly BAM! What if this is Veronica's dream (I consider it could be Archie's dream as well but I don't see him as a kilt guy, but then again it's a dream and who hasn't dreamt some wierd shit???) Anyway, I remember RAS confirmed (correct me if I'm wrong) that Daddy Dearest wasn't going to be supportive of Varchie and I don't know it could be cute if this was Veronica's romantic dream of their wedding (Cami looks beautiful tho!!!) So these are my thoughts? Speculation? Tinfoil? Idk I was too excited by the pics.

[dachi-chan25]

So i finally watched It chapter 2...

DISCLAIMER: So I know most of y'all don't like anyone to critizise anything u like, right of the bat I am telling u I did NOT liked this movie at all, there are changes I thought were good ideas but most of it was just plain terrible in MY opinion and I need to vent. If u share my opinión or find my rage amusing read on.

.

.

I had been putting off watching this movie, cuz in 2017 I enjoyed the 1st IT movie but I had a TON of issues with it (Mike's complete erasure, Stan being a completely different character, The Losers Club moments being sacrificed to cool sounding one-liners, WTF happened to Henry Bowers and Alvin Marsh, Bev being overly sexualized, etc, etc) so I was on the fence about this one. The cast is what finally caught my attention but then I heard very mixed reviews about it, and as I am starting on a new job I hadn't had the time to go and watch it til now and oh boy was I disappointed.

First off, we have to ask ourselves was Adrian Melon's murder scene really that necessary??? I understand what they used it for in the movie (to make a R3ddi3 reference /as a side note I do not care for the ship or any other IT ship tbh i write it like this cuz i don't want this post to invade the ship tag) but the characters involved are never mentioned again and it was too gratuitous (like we can have a homophobic hate crime, slurs thrown around all the time but we can't have the gay ship this movie was going for saying they love each other in a straightforward manner??? I know this is an unpopular opinion but I am not giving Muschietti props for doing the gay closeted ship for the 1000th time, if u were gonna do it go for it!!! Do right by the characters, hell in the book they get more tenderness and they are never explicitly gay, Eddie is heavily coded as gay or asexual and Richie is super bisexual) like my queer ass is tired of seeing gay ppl die in violent gruesome ways all the time.

While I love Bill Skarsgard's performance, the excess of CGI and all those jumpscares and strobe lights, actually take away from his performance, he is super scary and eerie when he is talking and even being friendly but super hillarious and plain silly when he is actually trying to be scary or when he is eating, it looked too wierd.

TBH whyyy was Tom Rogan in this?? Muschietti had already changed Alvin Marsh from being physically violent to being a sexual predator (everything they changed from Bev took away from her character, like we can have her smoking and flirting w Mr Keene but we can't have her teaching Richie how to use his yo-yo or winning in a fucking video game or drawing or anything that remotely has to do with her character) why was Tom necessary?? Hell we could have skipped that and have Bev in Kay's house telling her all that happened instead, I mean if he wasn't gonna die in the sewer why is he even a character? It was so easy to erase him and have Kay instead. Also how tf did Alvin survive???

Whyyy do that to Audra??? I fucken hate Muschietti, was it necessary to justify Bill cheating on her??? Nope, we could have simply have Bill not kiss Beverly and that’s it, also I am kinda salty Audra is not part of the plot.

Lmao Henry, like he fell on the fucken pipe and you could hear his fucken bones breaking and craking and he gets to get up and walk home????????? Whyyy y y , Muschietti ????

We never really got to see how deeply ingrained Pennywise is in the town, he is actually Derry. And if Muschietti thinks he fixed the wtf ending everyone complained about in the 90's adaptation he is on fucken drugs, this ending is super messed up and has nothing to do with the book or with anything at all, we never get to know what exactly is Pennywise, his true form it's a clown spider apparently or something cuz the death lights were there but not really ???

STAN was fucken robbed (again) last time he was completely ereased, he was physically there on the scenes but that’s it, his personality was null. And his thing, the thing that made him comit suicide was the fact that he was the one to see the death lights, the most logical and disbelieving of them faced something far beyond anyone's comprehension and they gave that to Bev?? And the death lights apparently gave her Final Destination abilities? ?????

Eddie was robbed. Of so so much. Muschietti fuck you. Frist off why isn't Eddie the CEO of some app like Uber like he was the Losers Club compass he was a great fucking driver, he loved sports (I actually got excited when they had this scene with the baseball game cuz i thought it was gonna be an Eddie scene but nope) y not connect that with this Token bs Muschietti pulled off his ass (this is actually a great idea, and could symbolize the Losers' lost childhood IF Muschietti had been assed to give them significance or something in part 1) His death scene. Just why? Why are his last words a cheap joke instead of a love confession, fuck it Muschietti if u wanted R3ddi3 have the courage to really do it (in the books the Losers take turns to carry his body out of the sewer cuz they will not leave him there, that's more meaningful than them diving) One of his most beautiful quotes is something Bill is writing??? Lmaoooo Bill wishes he could have thought up that (I love Bill but come the fuck on)

Why make such a huge deal out of B3nv3rly or r3ddi3 when the point of it all was that the Losers Club all loved each other, apart from whatever romantic feelings, they found a family in one another and they really erased that in this movie, I was like y are this ppl friends with each other. Mike drugged Bill, Richie was awfull to everyone, they barely had a conversation in the restaurant (biihhh the 90s miniseries does this better) and show no respect for Mike at all ( I mean I am not surprised cuz Muschietti has no respect for Mike as a character at all) or bill like nah son.

Stephen King cameo was there I guess, it was fine.

The Kiss me fat boy, of all things u could have taken from the 90's miniseries why that?????

Ben building the house club by himself ???? Bullshit, Muschietti ereased another great Losers Club bonding time and hate him for it.

MIKE, I AM ENRAGED. So Muschietti is braver than King for making R3ddi3 "canon" but he destroyed Mike's entire character and that is fine with y'all mmmmm. His parents were "crackheads" apparently cuz it's not like that is a stereotype black ppl have carried on for years on end, he did not go to school, he was not the historian but now he is cuz he had to stay and he is crazy and obsesive and drugs Bill and also stole from a native american tribe???? FUCK this so fucken much I hate it with all my being .

How does such a choppy movie manage to drag on forever??? Like there were still 45 Min left and I was bored out of my mind. Why is the final arc so bad??? Like some much stuff that could have actually gotten away with erasing (Paul Bunyan, whyyy it was so silly, it doesn't even work in the book, but fine like King was super high he barely remembers writing it, why take it to the big screen u should have sticked to him being afraid of clowns like u had already messed up) and added and could have added things that actually enriched the adaptation.

I just give up. Like if they do a 3rd one like it's rumored I won't see it, Muschietti clearly does not know how to be subtle or to have meaningful character arcs, he is just good for cheap jumpscares, one líners and yo mama jokes so I pass. I really hoped the up coming King adaptations are better than this one. That being said the movie had real fun/enjoyable moments, if this were not an adaptation I would have liked it a hella lot more than I did but alas nope.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 3 Pt. 1

I actually have the time to write this so here I go.

WARNINGS: SPOIIIiLERS; not a D@€nerys fan so y'all know I’ll be actually critical about her actions; JonSa shipper so of course I have a little bias.

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

1.- We start at Dragonstone, where Jon Snow and Dadvos are just arriving, the welcome comitee looks pleasant enough (if you don’t mind the Dothrakis and the Unsullied intimidating you that is) Tyrion and Jon immediatly take quips at each other and are buddy-buddy, Missandei says it’s so cool they’re taking so much trouble for Quiin D’s sake (LMAO not everyone is in Love with her like y'all honey, it’s not even for her but whatever helps you both sleep at night) and asks them to leave their weapons.

Right, so I would say she ask them this as a trust act and stuff,and it would be so if they were on a neutral spot and she went unarmed (without Dragons and guards) but it’s NOT really what FUCKING difference does it make if Jon has Longclaw??? He didn’t bring a frigging army and he sure as hell can’t fight them all (specially the magical fire lizards) so why??? Well this is the first of many acts of petty dominance on Dane-ñys part we’ll see this episode.

They even take the motherfucking boat (who is looking threatening now?) and Jon makes this face like he regreats his moronic decision of leaving WF

All those steps tho!!! (Stannis must have been real fit guys) So Dadvos tries to test the waters and asks something about her homeland to Missandei, she is polite but clearly distant and Dadvos whispers to Jon things have surely changed in DS.

Tyrion asks about Sansa (not Lady Sansa or your sister, hmmmm???) Jon says she is well, and that would have been a pretty normal conversation if not for the fact that Tyrion chooses to make a joke asking if Sansa has missed him, and guys believe me I tried to take off my shipper googles for tonight’s episode but holy fuck!! Jon looks like he wants to punch Tyrion, and he gets so nervous and uncomfortable he all but blurts that their marriage was a sham and unconsummated, Jon snaps that he didn’t ask.

I don’t know y'all but if someone talked to me about my big brother’s sex life I would be like ewww and make a cringey face, because I don’t give a damn, but Jon’s reactions are wierd he gets angry, also why talk about a sexual part of Sansa’s life everytime Jon meets her past suitors?? I mean we could argue that Jon meeting Tyrion again was inevitable, as well as seeing Theon next ep (cuz they are both with the D) or even the Hound because he and the Bannerless Brotherhood are heading North to fight with the WW… But what about LF? Jon was about to leave, he had no need to know about LF’s intentions and that threat in Hulk mode was just too innecesary as was Tyrion’s comment, or the Joffrey thing back on 7x01??? I don’t wanna be overly optimistic but things are still looking good for J/S.

Yeah so we have a Danonino is petty again moment by sending her Dragons to scare Jon, and OK I really like Missandei (I Love seeing girls who once were abused be confident and empowered, and I Love lenguages as well and it’s so cool she speaks so many!!) but her pleased holier than thou expression pissed me off, you don’t do that to guests miss! It’s rude and totally uncalled for to do this to someone that has been nothing but accomodating and polite.

Also I have another issue here, Missandei was crucial to Danita’s conquest of Meeren and Astapor because she was her translator, she understood how things moved there (masters and slaves) and she was loyal to D unconditionaly, but why bring her to Westeros??? She doesn’t need a translator anymore and just like Danonino Missandei doesn’t know squat about westerosi politics… Wild idea, but wouldn’t it have been better and a hella lot more meaningful if Missandei had stayed as Lady Regent in Mereen (I mean a girl raised as a slave leading people like her, it makes sense to me) but I guess D needed a cool break up gift for Daario.

2.-Melissandre is watching them from a Cliff, and Varys is like if you say they so great why didn’t you greet them?? She is vague af but basically says she and Team Snow are not so cool with each other because she made a mistake (that’s how we calling sweet Shireen’s awfull murder?? Fuck you red woman) and says she is gonna go to Volantis to chill before the war, and Varys is like good and don’t ever come back you trick ass bih, but Meli is like y'all need me and my destiny is to die in this foreing land… Like you (is it me or does this remind y'all of Danss threat last ep??)

3.-They finally reach the castle, Jon is kind of adorable cuz he is so uncomfortable and fidgety, and Danee is petty again, sitting on yet another fugly throne (Aegon honey I know you were all about conquering but you have a hella lot of obsidian lying around and it would have made an awesome and elegant throne instead of that thing you have there) and Missandei annoys me once again by proudly parroting every goddamn title of Dañy, and she looks ridiculous once Davos humbly introduces Jon (I actually laughed because it’s more aparent than ever to me that all their parallels were to make'em foils of each other).

Jon and Davos say she could take KL very easily and that if she hasn’t done so yet it’s because, and I quote’ “You’re better than Cersei at the very least” I mean you’re not exactly wrong Jon, but like Tyrion was the one to say ‘Hey how about we don’t kill anyone pls’ so there’s that.

Jon proves once again he is a hella lot more polite and grown up than her adressing her as Your Grace and Daññy is a petty toddler calling him Lord Snow, but my Dadvos is having none of that shit and he corrects her which leads to D@€-D@€ to prove her ignorance once again saying the last KitN bent the knee to grand pops Aegon in exchange of his and the rest of the northerns lives (yes honey and you think that was good or fair? Using violence to get your way?) and that it was for everzzzz cuz even though my shitty ancestors bullied everyone to give up their claims to them they became super best friends and had eternal perfect peace (I read World of I&F and her history knowledge is biased or plain shitty, I mean Targaryens were awful and had massive weapons of destruction nobody was going against them for fear not loyalty you entitled brat!!) so kneel!! And he was like LOL no, your crazy dad burned my grandad and my uncle if anything your family broke the alliance, and we have a D is a big fat hypocrite moment when she asks Jon not to condemn her for her father’s sins, Jon is not impressed and retorts that then he can’t be held to his ancestor’s promise (I’m so proud of my son) and LMAO she gets sooooo angry and snaps that why did he came here if not to postrate his unworthy self before her (cuz she believes everything is about her it seems) Jon proceeds to explain the threat of the WW (ily Jon but you need to explain things better) Tyrion and D are reasonably disbelieving (I would have expected them have more of an open mind, I mean they have motherfucking Dragons ffs!! But I can understand an army of the dead sounds pretty crazy to be fair) and we get the summary of Danee’s arc and how she got this far by believing in herself (I’m more inclined to say it was the Dragons and sheer luck in having powerful resourceful advisors coming to you but ok).

Now I know I said I Love girls who empower themselves after being abused, so how come I dislike D@ne so if she is exactly that? Well I didn’t at first, I loved her and was rooting so hard for her 'till she decided that she was better than everyone else and became a conqueror and entitled to a boot, not a breaker of chains. She took the Unsullied for herself because she didn’t want the Dothrakis to pilliage and rape their way through Astapor, good! But why the need to take Astapor and then Mereen? If she were a hero (which I don’t think she is) she would have liberated the slaves without declaring herself ruler, she would have let them decide who they wanted to rule among themselves and would have helped them to come up with a new government, forming a friendly alliance maybe then they even would have helped her in her quest to go back to Westeros, instead of violently taking the power (and no I’m not defending the masters at all, but I do think the mereenese people deserved to have a say in how they wanted to be ruled now that they were free) Since I was little I was taught the spanish took my country with fire and blood, weapons my people couldn’t defend themselves against, they took away their culture, religion and their names. They were forced to work with no pay, murdered, raped (our last tlatoani/leader/king Cuahutemoc got his feet burned when the spanish were interrogating him about aztec gold) and tortured for 300 years, and in my 6yo heart I hated it, of course I don’t hate nor recent the Spanish people for their (and also mine because I have spanish blood as well as aztec and egyptian) ancestor’s deeds, but I hated that people thought they were better than other people, and that they felt entitled to take lands that were not theirs, I hated to imagine the suffering of my people, I hated to know we could never fully understand all the amazing culture and knowledge the mesoamerican cultures had because they decided their way was better and burned or buried most of it, and D@€ny reminds me of all that, and it doesn’t let me enjoy her even as a Villian or Fallen Hero.

(excuse my rant and feel totally free to ignore it)

Dadvos just can’t with her bullshit and he says Jon has done a lot of similar things but without Dragons. Honestly the best way to explain it is with the 'but did you die?’ gif, and supports Jon’s testimony about the WW.

And D@€ny is like yeah but the throne is MINE and if you don’t agree you are against me (lovely way to make more enemies,yup be antagonistic pls) Jon loses it and says she and all the Lords and Ladies of Westeros are FUCKING children fighting for a chair when a real threat is just around the corner and they aren’t going to care who is the rightful anything.

She is so ofended its hillarious xD, she asks Tyrion what she is supposed to do since he refuses to acknowledge her as Qinn of the 7 realms, and he called her a child (well Dañy what did you expect when you have only acted as such?) and Tyrion is like well he said we were ALL children tbh in a very non-commital way.

Jon and Davos are dismissed, and my baby asks if he is her priosioner, 'not yet’ she says, and hold me because Imma knock some sense into her.

———-

Tis too long, I’ll continue in part 2.

[dachi-chan25]

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 3 Pt. 2

WARNINGS: SPOILERS (obvs); not a Khaliiiisi fan; Jonsa shipper so I might talk about it.

————–

4.- Euron Sparrow (I feel like I should add Captain somewhere) makes his heroic entrance in KL, and I find this kinda intresting, Hot Pie told Arya it was Cersei the one who blew the Great Sept of Baelor like it was common knowledge, but like how do people in Westeros know this stuff? news travel by ravens, and merchants and soldiers perharps but common people don’t know the High Lords and Ladies motivations and information has a way to get twisted (the best example I can think of is Season 5’ s troupe from Braavos, they told the story of Joffrey’s ascention and his death in a very pro-Lannister light) so I’m really interested in knowing just what did Cersei said about the whole affair. I mean people’s reaction to Ellaria and co. is pure entreteinment for them, they have no real beef with them but still interested in all this stuff.

We have Cersei herself sitting on the fugliest chair of the 7 realms (aka the IT) while Euron gallops into the throne room (like Euron can you be a lil’ less extra??) and presents her with her gift while shading the fuck outta Jaime, anyway Euron wants to put a date to their wedding but Cersei is having none of that until the war is over.

Euron still is looking for a fight with Jaime, and says he hopes the can have a bro talk about just how kinky is Cersei in bed (LMAO Euron is awful but he makes me laugh a lot).

Now we have Cersei in the dungeons with a very bright pink lipstick on (where do you even get that stuff???) and talks about Oberyn vs. The Mountain, she is just taunting Ellaria and has a very emotional moment while talking about Myrcella (Lena Headley is a hell of an actress, as much as I hate Cersei I don’t want her to die if only to keep enjoying her brilliant performance)

Then she kisses Tyene and reveals Qyburn managed to find out the poison Ellaria used with her daughter and her revenge would be forcing her to see Tyene die, and then wipes away the poison-pink lipstick and drinks the antidote like a total badass (RIP bad pussy).

So getting revenge turns her on and she goes to kiss Jaime and gives him head (like wow there has been a lot of oral this season), they end up on bed, and one of Cersei’s maids knocks, Jaime is like oh no, nobody must know!! And she’s like I’m queen so I can do whatever the fuck I want (no, that’s not how it works, that’s what got your monster of a son killed dumbass) anyway it seems short hair is lit now (cool cuz I got short hair too) and doesn’t say anything about literal incest in front of her (very wise dear).

Now apparently Cersei has a visitor from the Iron Bank (remember they are hella broke thanks to Robert?) and she has to deal with it, to be fair Cersei is a hell of a negociator, she manages to convince the emmisary to give her 15 days to pay her debts and trash talks D once again (the fuck bitch me too).

(round here I get confused about the order of the scenes but I’ll try)

5.- So Theon is found by a surviving ship and the Captain treats him like dirt for not fighting for Yara, and pls leave my son alone.

I have nothing much to add really was a pretty short scene and I hope to see more of Theon next episode.

6.- Back in Dragon Stone we have Jon talking with Tyrion, he says he was wrong to have come and wants to go back home (OMG my poor baby) cuz it’s clear D has no intention to help him, Tyrion tells him to cut her some slack (I mean I kinda agree it’s not easy to believe and fight with a dude you just met but then again she was very rude and antagonistic) and goes around telling him about all the good stuff D has done (k I get his point, but were you there to see the conquest of Meeren and Astapor Tyrion?? No, you got there when shit hit the fan due to Danisss incompetence as a ruler, so I fail to see how someone as clever and analytical would make such blind statements unless that someone is in love) Jon agrees reluctantly.

7.- Winterfell!!! At last!!! So we see Sansa talking with Lord Royce, LF and the Maester about the resources they have for Winter, and she is Walking around the castle looking over the preparations and making questions and very good suggestions every now and then.

Seeing this scene struck me this is the first time we see someone actually ruling, allow me to explain: the first 2 shots we get of D and Cersei are of them sitting on their thrones but doing nothing but serve themselves (D with trying to force Jon to bend the knee and Cersei with her revenge) now of course they’re preparing for war against each other, who gives a fuck about food or warm clothes in winter amirite Ladies? Well, A GOOD RULER that’s who, Sansa is still Lady Sansa she does not parade titles around nor she sits her ass on the court room and calls it a day or calls herself Queen, yet she is the only one who acts like one. If she doesn’t know something she immediatly asks, she seeks solutions and acts quickly, that suggestion about adding leather to the armors was a little detail but so huge because she doesn’t only care about the armor being strong but also that it keeps her people as warm and comfortable as possible, and Imma cry because it’s such a huge difference from other selfish rulers we’ve seen in the series.

Anyway, LF starts by saying ruling suites her well (dammit the first time he and I agree with something) but says she is too focused on the WW thing, she answers that they should (thank god at least someone believes in Jon) he warns about Cersei and honestly is hillarious because she knows bih!!! And she tells him as much, honestly Sansa is getting more savage in her responses to Baeless what a time to be alive!!!! Littlecreeper then proceeds to talk like a fortune-cookie, I tried to make sense of it, but still confused he tells her not to fight battles anywhere but her mind ( k I think he means being analytical and politicaly savvy, not rushing into conflicts everywhere) also that her friends are enemies and enemies are friends (bottomline I think it’s trust no one cuz alliances shift a lot in time of war, or at least that’s what I think it means) and that she will she things she has seen before (ummm so like people are predictable and she only has to observe and she’ll realize she knows what kind of people they are and thus predict/guess what they’ll do because she has already dealt with that, or is he talking about parallels or what??? Idk why is he so cryptic now???) it mattered not cuz Sansa gets called to the gate, and…

Bran!!! He is back!! And Oh my god Sophie Turner’s performance is A+ her expressions are beautiful and really made me cry, Bran is very changed tho, and I see he is getting a lot of hate but why? He is clearly dealing with a lot of difficult stuff, he IS the Three Eyed Raven now, seeing past/present/future must be hard on his psyche and the threat of the WW is overwhealming so stop pls.

They are under the weirdwood tree, Sansa looks adorable sitting in the snow and hugging her knees to her chest, and she just about kills me when she says “I wish Jon was here’ now of course I know she says so because she wishes Jon could share the hapiness and relief of having their little brother back but still (my shipper heart) and immediatly says WF is his (honestly Imma say this now, fuck the people who called her a power hungry bitch, you don’t like her or find her boring? Fine we all are allowed to have characters we like and dislike, but the blantant misogynistic hate Sansa’s been getting since day one has been overwhelming, fans of her get called delusional and anti-feminists for supporting an embodiment of the patriarchy and other willful misinterpretations of her character and I’m glad D&D have shown she is not what the fandom’s been acussing her of) putting the final nail on the Starkbowl coffin. Bran reject his title as Lord because he is the TER, and Sansa, the girl whose only contact with magic/supernatural stuff has been through what Jon told her, immediatly belives what her little brother says and not only that she asks him to explain what does it means because she wants to understand him (and OMG what a concept actually listening to people!!!) now I understand why every actor on the Stark fam wanted Sansa on the IT or Winterfell, she is an amazing ruler.

Bran triggers her ptsd talking about what Ramsey did to her, and she very graciously excuses herself, while Bran stays back to get some work on the NK business. I think this was a way to make her stop asking questions and kind of showing what his powers are about? But I’m not sure.

Again too long, so a part 3 is necessary for the final parts of the ep.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 3 Recap Pt. 3

WARNINGS: SPOILERS; NOT a d@€ny fan so you know; jonsa shipper so I could mention them from time to time.

—————–

8.- Back on DS, D is disscusing Jon with Tyrion, him being a good bro, asks D to let Jon take some dragonglass (aka obsidian) to fight against his imaginary enemies (honestly I understand Tyrion’s gam here but D’s better than you attitude annoys me, girl think a little why would he even be here enduring rudeness and petty threats if not for a good cause) and she didn’t even know her castle were she was born was built a top an obsidian mountain (imagine knowing so little about the land you want to rule) and Tyrion uses that to convince he to let him take some, she agrees and we get into battle stuff, first Imma need no more close-ups on that table-map, like I can help but remember Mely-Stannis sexy time and feel disgusted (have they disinfected it yet?) Then we get this explanation about how Tywin built CR (hmmm say that to Joanna Lannister hon) and Tyrion being the family’s outcast got the sewers as his responsability, and that no one has ever taken the rock, but he made a secret passage to smuggle his lady-friends to the castle, we get a shot of Unsullied climbing the walls (and being murdered) while another group led by GW enters Tyrion secret passage, the Unsullied make a quick work of takin the Lannister’s seat, too quick GW realized too damn late cuz Euron already wreacked their ships and the real Lannister army wasn’t even there. You got player son!

Real talk, is Ed Sheeran’s character dead?? Hope not he was a nice guy.

9.- We find that the Lannister’s weren’t home cuz they were taking over Highgarden (honestly I was really excited about seeing the Tyrell’s beautiful castle but we didn’t get any nice shot of it and now I’m dissappointed) taking one from King Robb’s book, Jaime not only left those fools to take CR but made it impossible for them to keep it because he emptied the cellar, and Euron destroyed their fleet, so now the Unsullied have to make the walk of same to Dragonstone (but it’s an island???) and he tells Ollena his plan, she is like well fuck it how you gonna do it? He pours her a cup of wine, and tells her all the gruesome shit Cersei wanted to do, but then he says he talked her out of it and drops the contents of a little poison bottle on her cup, she Then asks if it’s gonna hurt, no he says, she the proceeds to tell him she would hate to die like Joffrey and confeses it was her that murdered him and to tell Cersei so.

Dying with her middle finger up is such an Olenna thing to do.

(I know the episode ends there but I just don’t remember where this scenes goes so Imma put them here)

10.- Back on the Citadel, Maester Slughorn (Imma call him that forever) is examining Jorah who is like well dunno I just magically got cures even if he has most of the skin on his torso ripped? Like bless his soul but Archmaester is not believing none of that shit and says he and Sam will talk later.

Jorah and Sam part ways, and I would say I look forward to their reunion if Jorah was less obssessed with D cuz she is gonna go crazy, and if the spoilers are accurate she will burn Sam's family, so I think it would not be such a good thing.

Sam talks with Archmaester, who in a very Dumbledore fashion says how stupid and brave Sam was, and how proud he is of him *Imma cry again* but still he must be punished and keep on his menial tasks.

11.- Jon goes up to D, she allows him to extract the Dragonglass and even offers help in the manufacturing of the weapons (y'know I would actually be praising this decision if not for the fact that she thinks he is delusional but she is now losing and can’t afford to have more enemies) still I’m somewhat relieved that they have means to fight the WW) he thanks her and asks if she believes him know, she doesn’t answer in a straightforward way and he leaves. she turns around and looks at him.

So I’m a multishipper (it’s in my blog’s title!) and I’m hardly ever closed off to any ship, I try to see things from the shippers POV and eventualy I end up shipping or understanding why they do, that being said, I totally expect boat bang to happen (I don’t like it but better be prepared than dissappointed) so I took of my Jonsa googles and read a shit ton of Jundarys meta (btw there is so little fanfic for such a popular ship) and tried to put aside my dislike towards D to look for any romantic clues and chemistry, but for the life of me I couldn’t find any, one could argue they are just meeting and yes you right but every on-screen game of thrones ship has at least some kind of chemistry maybe not sexual at the beginning but y'know normal acting one (Robb/Talisa those stares, Ned/Catelyn, Jaime/Brienne, Jaime/Cersei, and of course my faves Jon/Sansa) but Em*l*a and K*t doesn’t, it seems forced (I have nothing against E but her acting is not great) so idk??? But let’s see.

That’s it til next week.

Sengoku Night Blood Episode 3 Recap.

Furrrrrrrrrrries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

– We have this moment where Hideyoshi says he will make Yuzuki want to marry him again but then Hanbee Takaeda (the boku cute pie) interrupts them with Bad News! Apparently one of the guys from the Takeda Army (Aka the werewolves *cough* furries*cough*) came to see them.

–The guy is a cute blond with long hair called Masanobu Kousaka, he informe them that Shingen forces are near and they wish to talk with Hideyoshi about Nobunaga and the girl with Himemiko’s blood, but Hideyoshi is kind of an ass.

–They (Hideyoshi Army) team up together to talk about what they gonna do with Shingen and his army and Hideyoshi just like that decides the best is to go and see him and everyone is just like oh well Hideyoshi-sama is always like this, lol.

–Once at the furry base two guys are sparring but one of them points out Yuzuki must be the girl with Himemiko’s blood, amd Hideyoshi gets in protective mode but before anything happens Shingen comes out to see what the hell is happening and once he sees is the Hideyoshi army he invites them to drink sake with him and his man.

–Yuzuki is not really someone who like to drink, Toshiee on the other hand is completely drunk off his ass (he is so adorable!!!), our heroine is instead staring at the furries (relatable af, I mean they are adorable and their ears twitch!!!!) amd one of them is like why are you staring at us like that?? And Shingen immediately notices is the first time she sees a werewolf and even offers to let her touch his ears (ahhh I volunteer!!! Please Shingen-sama let me touch the fluffies! Do it gurl!!) but Hideyoshi gets jealous (stop it dude you are not her keeper, let the romance happen!!!) and asks Hanbee to escort her to her room along with a very sleepy drunk Toshiee (#darn you and your cockblocking ways Hideyoshi).

–Toshiee is completely wasted and Yuzuki tells Hanbee maybe a bit of water will help, Hanbee agrees and Yuzuki goes for it.

–Back at the sake party, Shingen asks Hideyoshi for an alliance so they can protect Yuzuki and defeat Nobunaga together (Oh yes pls!!!!)

–Yuzuki finds Masatoyo (a cute werewolf he sneaks up on people often) he s looking for a couple of vials made of wood and helps her with the water.

–Hideyoshi rejects the offer (ahhhhhh you arrogante jealous bih!!!!!) and Shingen is as annoyed as me.

–Yuzuki trips and accidentally spills the vials, they contained a medicine, she apologizes to Shingen and his man, he is pretty cool about it actually (ahhh stop it Shingen is just my kind of dude) all of them are except for Masukage a cute pie who gets real angry but the rest the guys apologize for his behaviour cuz he has never known the touch of a woman (basically he is a virgin) and the poor baby gets all flustered. Thing is they will need to make more medicine amd for that the must look for the herbs in the woods of course Yuzuki offers to help them.

–One of Shingen’s man is worries about Shingen cuz apparently he is really sick, and he says Shingen should push for a marriage alliance with Yuzuki (yes pls) but my sweet bae says he decided not to marry since a long time ago (whyyyyyy??)

–She goes to the woods with them along with Hideyoshi cuz the guy is a jealous ass, Masukage is being pretty rude with Yuzuki but she doesn’t get disheartened, and once she finds a herb she shows it to him excitedly and he kind of warms up a bit to her (I live for this moments) but Mr Cockblock ruins the fun once again, not only that but the idiot steps on a bee nest and they have to run outta there, tee-hee this is just dandy for me cuz Masukage grabs Yuzuki’s arm and once they arrive he gets teased for not letting go of her and someone asks him what does it feel to have touched a woman for the first time (leave my baby alone he is too pure for this world).

–Now Yuzuki asks Masanobu to teach her how to make the medicine while Shingen spies on them with a smile (my heeaaart) once they finish, Shingen talks to Yuzuki and offers to have some bean paste with honey together, and Yuzuki asks him why did he left the medicine in such a wierd place, the reason is because the medicine is very bitter and Shingen looooves sweets (a guy after my own heart) then he asks why did she help them and she says that is because she caused them troubles is her responsability to fix them Shingen says a guy named Uesugi Kenshin is just the same and he admires that and aspires to be like that, he gets this amazing aura and she says he is cool (of course I ship it).

–Shingen’s man are convincing him to take his medicine cuz a woman warmed hard to make it for him, but he is like ewwwwww still he takes it and is very surprised to find the medicine is not bitter at all, Yuzuki tells him she added honey to it so it won’t be bitter for him (ahhhhh this is love my dudes) and suddenly everyone (me included) wants her to join the Takeda Army.

–Bam!! Naughty Nobunaga sends a surprise attack and the must flee, of course my baby Shingen takes his waifu with him and carries her in bridal style to the woods even though he is reeeeal sick (ahhhh my shipper heart, this is it my OTP) he starts coughing blood making Yuzuki very worried, but he still tries to reassure her, Masatoyo can’t take to watch his beloved Leader suffer and tells Yuzuki Shingen has a chronic sickness and only her blood can help him but Shingen refuses to take her blood (honestly he is 1000000x times better than fucking Hideyoshi who took her blood even when she didn’t want him to and was scared af) Yuzuki girl keep him. Oh and now they are more fucked cuz some Yakuma appear and Shingen says he will fight to protect her and he does! (*chanting* OTPOTPOTP)

–Shingen’s man save them just in time and they manage to defeat their enemies with Hideyoshi’s help, Yuzuki and the Hideyoshi Team say their goodbyes (I mean of course she would stay with the Hideyoshi team because they are the main group, the STARISH if you will, but narratively it would make more sense for Yuzuki as a character to stay with the Takeda Army, because they never told her she wasn’t useful instead they taught her to do the medicine and praised her all around appreciating her willingness to help, besides Yuzuki seems the kind of person who would want to help someone in need like Shingen, also he refused her blood which seems to be all this people care about #just saying)

–We have that cute raccoon-san from the first Episode running and calling out to Yuzuki #the plot thickens.

–Nobunaga is chilling in his throne? With his minions around and it’s time to act (Kay but he is still so hot??? I want more of this gothic vampire pls)

Final Toughts: I LOOOOOVED this Episode, and I must admit I liked the Takeda Army a lot more than Hideyoshi’s #sorry not sorry, I am definitely buying that game just to play Shingen’s route a thousand times, and now I am curious about Nobunaga seems we’ll get more plot next Episode and I am ready for it cuz so far this anime hasn’t disappointed me on the romance department.

Sengoku Night Blood Episode 2 Recap

–I didn’t had time to see the Episode last week so I watched the 2 and 3 in a row and OMG I am loving this series waaaaaaaay to much (I am weak for a Reverse Harem that is actually a reverse harem)

–So yeah, the episode picks up right where we left it last week, Nobunaga is all mysterious and shit, and lol he calls Hideyoshi a monkey, and holy shit he also knows abou Yuzuki and says he will take her with him (k I know he is the villian but he is just my type with the long hair and goth aesthetic so I kinda wished he took Yuzuki just so I could watch him more).

–Fear not cuz his merry crew came to the rescue! Allowing him to escape, yay! So back at the camp Hideyoshi tells them about Yuzuki’s blood and that they have to protect her from the rest of the Gegga Tribes but especially from Nobunaga.

–Then (ohmygosh this anime already owns my ass) Hideyoshi proposes to Yuzuki (he only asks her name now cuz why not??) cuz that way he can protect her, and she is like yeah dude but why??? Like we barely know each other??? And his answer is deadass ‘love at first sight’ (shame on you UtaPri this anime already has more romance than your 3 seasons combined) but then he also remarks that that’s the only way she can be useful to them :/ (I just, I dunno but I don’t like him to much ya know? Like yeah he is brash, cute and loud but also kind of an arrogant ass and I dunno *sigh* I just have trouble liking the obvious main guy).Kuroda Hanbee (this really cute and silent dark haired guy) convinces Hideyoshi to give her time to think it through and he kind of agrees but tells Yuzuki she must help them around and she agrees.

–So now they are in a village? City? And Yuzuki is helping Mitsunari (long white haired megane-kun) take some books and maps to the library and the ojji-san there asked him if Yuzuki was his girlfriend (ahhhhh my ship one heart~) and Mitsunari gets so cute and flustered!!! Kay so then they go for tea together, and Mitsunari talks to her about how much Hideyoshi has helped the city and that his plans are so bold and stuff (right now he is planning to flood the hideout of some bandits) though is actually Mitsunari the one to thinks out how they actually gonna do the thing and Yuzuki points this out to him (call me crazy but I don’t think Yuzuki feels anything for Hideyoshi tbh, she seems waaaay more intrested in the other guys) suddenly a scared random citizen comes up to them and tells Mitsunari a girl was kiddnaped by the criminals they were just talking about.

–Mitsunari, Toshiee and Yuzuki go to the hideout together, and Toshiee simply enters the house and fights everyone like a pro while Mitsunari keeps on making plans for the flood.

–Toshiee rescues the girl, he just gets a few scratches but Yuzuki is patching him up (*my body is ready*) and Mitsunari leaves them alone cuz he is gonna take the kiddnaped girl home, so Yuzuki is worries about Toshiee’s wounds and he is like nah this ain’t nothing and then Toshiee asks her why she doesn’t want to marry Hideyoshi he even asks if she doesn’t like him, and Yuzuki is like is not that is just I don’t know him (duuuude she is not flustered she def does not like him) anyway, a couple of shadow monsters called Yakuma emerge from the woods and attack them. Toshiee fights them and tells Yuzuki he is gonna protect her even with his own life (ahhhhh!!! Ship it!!.) Once he defeats them he grabs Yuzuki and they run before the monsters appear again, but Yuzuki is exhausted so of course Toshiee carries her bridal style (I live for this) but she is worried about his wounds, Toshiee feels really touched because he says nobody worries about him being wounded because he is a soldier, he then tells her to hold on tight and she does just that (good job Yuzuki I am so proud of you girl) and he feels the dokis so much he almost drops her. (ahhh his blushy face is the cutest)

–They reach the camp amd Yuzuki apologizes to Hideyoshi for not being very useful,and asks permission to help Mitsunari with his planning for the flood thingy, Hideyoshi says he is not sure Mitsunari will let her help but try anyway.

–Just as Hideyoshi said, Matsunari is reluctant at first but then accepts the help, honestly this is just adorable the way he is stealing looks at her and blushing, the candle lit atmosphere a solid 10/10, anyway so Matsunari like the rest of the army is a vampire so he aparentes doesn’t sleep but Yuzuki does and she falls asleep, he takes his jacket off and covers her with it while blushing madly (ahhhh I just ship her with everyone!!! I love this!!)

–Now we are in furry castle where Shingen Takeda is talking with his man about this girl (Yuzuki) that has Himemiko-sama’s blood and that they must get her before Nobunaga (the harem intensifies)

– Back with the Hideyoshi team, Yuzuki wakes up and apologizes for falling asleep and thanks Mitsunari for his jacket, Mitsunari is a tsundere and goes all tsun tsun about her causing troubles for him but like the tsun side is not scary at all when you’re blushing like a schoolgirl my man, bit he also blurts out he liked having her around just to backtrack and say they just better hurry and present Hideyoshi with the plans.

–They carry the plan successfuly thanks to Mitsunari’s plan, during their reunion Hideyoshi proposes to have a party a they can celebrate this victory and then he speaks in prívate with Yuzuki, she finally tells him she is from another world and that she wants to look for Himemiko because that light be the only way she can return home, he doesn’t believe her at first (ok but why would you insist on marrying someone who you think is making up such a big excuse not to marry you???) but then he realizes she is telling the truth and he promises to help her find Himemiko, he warns her though he will make her forget all about her world so she stays and marries him.

– A mysterious carriage arrives.

Final toughts: Honestly this anime makes me smile so much, it has such doki doki moments, I am mostly indifferent to Hideyoshi but that’s not new I always have trouble liking the Main Guy, it really feels like a Reverse Harem!!!, my only problem is that as someone who hasn’t played any of this games remembering who is who is kind of difficult there are a loooot of characters.
