Been loving the therapy au jsyk
Anyhow
I kno that there’s a consensus that Desire doesn’t bother hob bc either they don’t know or care abt him, but that never seemed right to me bc hob is such a passionate person desire would LOVE HIM. And a chance to mess w their *dearest* brother… why pass that up? So what if. What if at first desire doesn’t know abt hob and dream
Maybe 1550 or some such they notice this human who is nearly their disciple, so eager for everything, and they’re like. Well I am a good and loving god (and nobody pays me enough attention) so I shall perhaps grant him a bit of my presence. My company. And it’s grand and all and desire has a lot of fun, wow, turns out a couple centuries and even a HUMAN can impress in bed!
And then when 1598 rolls around and desire realizes OH. THIS IS *DREAM’S* human…
Ok, they’re not going to kill him or anything. After all, he IS kind of desire’s follower. And very nice. So. Desire just… also visits hob. More than once a century though, they’re an impatient creature. Maybe this will sway the human to be THEIR friend, ha ha dream, that’s what happens when you’re just better company!!! (Never happens, ofc)
And then maybe in 2022 Dream finds out somehow. Desire let’s it slip, or “let’s it slip”, or hob does, or he catches them…
And poor Hob is now in the middle of a very existential sort of tug-of-war
(Pretty sure this was inspired by smth else you wrote lmao)
omg yes. to be honest I do think Hob is more in Desire's domain than Dream's. he just wants so much, for good and ill. Desire would love it. and I can absolutely see them just coveting something that Dream has, both because they're like "hey that's MY disciple" and because they're constantly angling for Dream's attention even if they won't admit it. and Hob is taking Dream's attention away. so they're a bit conflicted. are they jealous of Hob? or Dream? or BOTH?
meanwhile Dream is utterly CONSUMED with jealousy and plotting Desire's demise 😂 he's like "give me BACK my toy"
and Desire's like "you didn't even WANT it, Dream. you weren't even playing with it"
and Dream's like "I'll make you regret being extant"
etc.
(Hob's wondering if he should just disappear now maybe. Though for the sake of his survival, he thinks he's probably better off with Dream. Dream is terrifying XD)
(I did write something kinda related once, but it was more Dream thinking Desire had manipulated Hob's emotions for him)

For many human AUs, I think about Desire and Dream's rivalry and just... *smacks lips* They could do so much damage!
What if Desire oh so kindly helped their big brother lose his virginity by setting him up with someone. And the sex was terrible. And they try again and again but all the people who they set Dream up with are so bad that Dream doesn't even want to see them again. And each time, Desire SWORE to him that the sex would be good, they've been with this person before, it'll be amazing, but nope, Dream usually doesn't even come, even though he's still halfway a virgin. So, Desire and Dream "figure out" he's sex-repulsed/ace or something like that, he doesn't even care and honestly, he's just glad that Desire dropped the topic and he can go willow in self-pity and loneliness because now he's absolutely certain he'll never find a good partner for himself.
Enter Hob. Who is not deterred by Dream's personality or anything else. He wants Dream. Even after Dream tells him that he is not into sex at all. Hob is ok with a romantic relationship without sex.
Desire does EVERYTHING in their power to prevent that. They hit on Hob constantly, they spread rumours, they tell both of them lies, but nothing has the desired (pun intended) effect. Dream and Hob are happily dating.
Well, some months into the relationship, with the help of some alcohol, Dream and Hob talk about sex. And Hob is confused at first - is Dream drunker than he seems? - and then gently "dove, half of what you describe is not even sex, not even a virgin would cum from that." And the other half sounds just painful or awkward.
Turns out Desire had been paying people to have horrible sexual encounters with their brother to make him think sex is not for him, just to mess with him.
I'm kind of a regular here but I was thinking I could also get a sign off. XD 🚒 Fire truck taken? I was trying to think of the most random emoji, so hopefully it's free. XD I might also continue to be an anonymous anon because I often send weird and kinky shit. 😅
CACKLING about this. I love Desire as The Villain in Dream’s life even in human aus because they do the prettiest shit JUST to make their big brother's life difficult.
I think the funniest outcome of this is that Dream and Hob then do experiment together to see if Dream does like sex. And Hob is experienced enough to give Dream a good and well rounded introduction to good sex, but... Dream is like "eh". He doesn't hate it, sure, but he does still feel a bit uncomfy with the whole thing. He panics for a minute thinking that Hob will be angry or upset but he really doesn't mind! He's always accepted that sex might not be a part of their relationship, that isn't going to change and he loves Dream exactly as he is.
Next time Dream sees Desire he has some... choice words for his sibling. He finishes the whole spiel by declaring that he's still ace anyway so Desire's whole plan was completely pointless. He's NOT lonely and he doesn't pity himself anymore, he loves having the ace community to identify with, and Hob is never going to leave him because of anything as stupid as sex anyway.
Hob (who has sadly been forbidden from punching Desire in the face) is like "and I'm definitely not leaving him for someone as horrible as you" and Desire is mostly annoyed because it turns out that they accidentally helped Dream to discover self-love and identity that works for him, dammit.
You are so welcome to be 🚒 anon! Welcome to the emoji clan ❤

Tgamm S1 Ep 7-B ¨All Systems No¨ episode analysis
Tumblr media
Molly and Scratch make a bet putting themselves a curse that makes them only say ¨Yes¨ and ¨No¨ for 24 hrs, little they know that this day has many suprises waiting for them...
¨All Systems No¨ is one of those episodes that has really mudane situations and yet it manages to be one of the funniest episodes in the season. It all boils down to Molly and Scratch’s interactions through out their shenanigans, with one trying to mess with other using the temporal curse.
The episode starts with Molly asking Scratch what he wants to do while we are shown a song sequence- ¨Awesome Best Friends Day¨. The entire song involves Molly dragging Scratch to many hilarious bizzare activities they could do and the ghost barely being able to keep up with Molly’s frenetic energy. I love how the sequence is constanly changing. There is some great animation in that scene.
Scratch says ¨no¨ to all Molly’s ideas, which leads her to complain about him always saying no to everything. After some teasting, they make a bet and Scratch puts a 24 hrs curse on both of them, with Molly only can say ¨Yes¨ and Scratch can only say ¨No¨.
I love how the main writer from this episode, Sammie Crowley, took advantage of this premise to push Molly’s character to her limits. Once again, Molly is confronted by her character flaws, the one in this case being her positivity. She is forced to go more than awkward situation that makes her realise that saying yes to all isn’t always a good idea.
Another detail is that we get to see Molly doesn’t like certain people from Brighton, something that is a bit rare to find in characters from her type. This gives a bit more of dimension to her and place for future conflict. One of the people she dislikes is Irving, a street magician because Molly hates street magic. Her reaction to Irving is very funny and over the top to the point she grabs him from his shirt and looks at him menacing. The other character is Weird Larry. Molly tries avoiding him and later is forced to look for his pet skunk.
On the other hand, Scratch gets asked by the Ghost Council if he wants to join the Ghost Elite since Brighton’s misery numbers are really high (Because of Molly going through this previously mentioned shenanigans), something that Scratch has always dreamed about. Since he has always been treated like garbage in the Ghost World, Scratch wants to be part of the Elite. He believes that he is going to get the respect and company he desires this way. Sadly, he is forced to decline the ofter due to the temporal curse in what would be one of the most awkward funny scenes in the show. He returns to Molly devasted with his dream getting crashed.
What follows is an interesting twist: Since they both get tired of the curse, Scratch makes them switch roles. Molly gets the ¨No¨ part and Scratch gets the ¨Yes¨ part for the rest of the day. After that, they decide to go back home to avoid getting into more trouble until the curse wears off.
Something i didn’t mention is that ¨All Systems No¨ has a B plot, which involves bees invading the Mcgees house. The plot is funny but it feels unrelated to the rest of the episode or the lesson presented. It ends when Molly and Scratch return home and work together to get rid of the bees. Again, it doesn’t feel tied with the duo protagonist part of the plot.
In addition to this, it doesn’t get explained within the show that reason Brighton’s misery numbers were so high was because Molly was feeling miserable at that moment. It was a thing that was later clarified by one of the creators on twitter, which i feel it should have been in the episode.
¨All Systems No¨ ends with a very cute scene of Scratch brushing Molly’s hair after she tricked him by waiting the very last seconds the curse was about to wear off. Scratch doesn’t get angry by this and instead teases Molly for her small trickery. It shows how their relationship is changing, becoming a sort of uncle-niece/ siblings dynamic. It’s also nice that they both come to an understanding of each other. Both realizing that there needs to be a balance between being positive and negative.
In conclusion,¨All Systems No¨ is a very funny and cute episode that explores the best of Molly and Scratch’s interactions. It has some flaws like the B plot feeling disconnected to the A plot. Nevertheless, it’s a great episode is beloved by the fandom.

Do you have any relatives who live on a different continent than you? I don't believe so. What are your religious beliefs? Were you raised with those beliefs, or did you develop them on your own? I'm a theist, entailing I believe in a creator, but I know nothing about him/her/it. I personally picture them as a peaceful and sage deity that allows life to go on without it intervening anywhere, letting the world evolve on its own and see how we adapt to our unique settings and handle life. In the end, I believe we are either given some form of paradise or a type of damnation depending on how you wrote your story. I like to imagine the good go to their personal vision of "Heaven," and I wonder if the paranormal activity some experience in life are the acts of the damned, apparently confined to remain on Earth or something. Anyway, I wasn't raised with such beliefs; they were developed. I was brought up Catholic, then I turned to just simple Christianity as I didn't agree with a lot of Catholic ideas, and most recently I abruptly turned away from that in favor of theism. How did you and your significant other celebrate your last anniversary? We went out for breakfast. What has been your favorite house/apartment/etc you’ve ever lived in? My last house for location, as a house itself, my childhood one. What’s something in your house that currently needs to be cleaned? I need to vacuum my room. Do you still remember any of the dreams or nightmares you had as a child? Yup. What’s the most bizarre conspiracy theory you’ve ever heard of? The world is donut-shaped. Yeah. Do you have a good sense of direction? Not. At. All. Who was your first crush? Did you ever actually date them? Dylan, and no. What’s the weirdest, rudest, or most ridiculous thing a guest has ever done in your home? Who knows. Has anyone ever told you you’re manipulative? I don't think so. Do you know anyone who owns their own business? No. When was the last time you weren’t 100% sober? Uhhh maybe that movie night with Colleen and Chelsea. Is obtaining a college degree something that is important to you? Well, for my possible career future. Have you ever eaten at a vegan restaurant? No. Do you view substance abuse as a disease or a choice? I have... mixed feelings here. Starting something, that is indisputably a choice. Becoming addicted though, I'm not sure. Some people have addictive personalities so have a bigger inclination to become addicted, but isn't that just a personal trait/weakness you can fight?? I dunno.

Thor: Ragnarok; yet another review by me :)
Tumblr media
I really went to town on this one so grab some snacks, go to the toilet and get comfortable! (not on the toilet of course, unless you want to I guess?)
ALSO: Spoilers! (obviously but if you haven’t seen the movie then what are you doing really) And I do not own any of the gifs used in this. Credit to the amazing owners!
I’m writing this about a week after I saw the movie, so apologies if I don’t go into detail as much or if I don’t remember everything correctly. Normally I do this the day after but I’m still in college and I had my internship so I’ve been running after toddlers and changing diapers all week. Also sorry if this seems rushed and chaotic. I've literally scrabbled out all the thoughts in my head that I wanted to share with you.
BUT LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MASTERPIECE THAT IS THOR:RAGNAROK!
First of all, I knew almost nothing about the movie going into the cinema. I love Marvel and their work but I find that they show quite a lot prior to the release of the movie (teasers, videos and such) so literally all I saw was the trailer and a few pictures. I also couldn’t help myself when I came across some twitter reviews of the movie and so I read those as well. Apparantly it was one of the funniest Marvel movies yet. AND MY GOD WERE THEY RIGHT!
After I saw the movie I did my homework of course, watching every video or interview I could find and spend quite a lot of time on the tumblr tag.
Tumblr media
I was pleasantly surprised when the movie started. The first two Thor movies had a Shakespearian vibe and had quite a dark undertone. But when Chris Hemsworth started narrating within the first scene I thought to myself “They’ve gone down a different road with this one, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to like it.”
Tumblr media
I loved the change between Loki and Thor’s relationship. In the previous movies (including The Avengers) Loki clearly felt hatred towards his brother and his only desire was a throne. But in this movie it seems as if their “love-hate” relationship has become almost “standard” and they can laugh and joke about it. Which Taika did brilliantly. They came across as actual siblings! My sister and I could relate to quite a lot, it was great to see this new side of their relationship. I also felt a clear change in Loki. Maybe it was because of the new sense of humor and scenes like “Let’s do “get help” or “I’ve been falling for thirthy minutes” but I really feel like Loki missed his brother and enjoyed spending time with him. I’ve always thought of Loki as a really misunderstood and interesting character. (This movie caused my 2013 Loki/Tom Hiddleston obsession to come back with vengeance.) I was so glad Loki made it back to the ship at the end of the movie (I’m not gonna go into detail for those few poor souls who haven’t seen the movie yet). I really think he has a lot more to offer and I’m so excited for his reunion with the other avengers! AND THAT ONE SCENE WHERE HE WAS LOOKING AT THE TESSERACT HAD ME LIKE “ASHLDSLHGDG BABY NO WHAT QKHQFKSHFDS” His change in general is stunning. Like, in 2012 he was running around with aliens basically trying to destroy the world and in 2017 we find him casually chilling watching theater and eating grapes. This guy I swear. Also, let’s not forget that in The Dark World, he did protect Jane?! I believe that deep down Loki has a good heart, he just has some daddy issues and he really wanted a crown.
Also, let me just take this time to appreciate Tom Hiddleston. He is an absolute amazing actor and he is so sweet and charming and caring toward his fans?! Plus he’s absolutely gorgeous ain’t he?
Tumblr media
ALSO I JUST WANNA THANK TAIKA WAITITI FOR WHAT HE DID WITH THOR’S CHARACTER! This new, funny, charming Thor is literally what I’ve been dreaming of. Don’t get me wrong, Thor has always been an amazing character but the way Chris played him in Ragnarok was the best Thor I’ve seen so far. I also totally get why they cut his hair. At first I was like “What? They can’t cut Thor’s hair?! He’s Thor? He is the hair?!” but the more I heard Chris and Taika talk about it the more I understood. In order to completely re-create this character there had to be physical changes. And it turned out I was okay with it. (and it must’ve been so practical for Chris as well) (now I feel sorry that Tom still has to wear the wig hahahaa sorry bby) I’m really looking forward to see more of Thor in Infinity War, especially since his powers are now at their peak! I was absolutely shocked when Hela broke his hammer but eventually it made sense. With Mjölnir there Thor would’ve never discovered how powerful he actually is.
Tumblr media
Let’s not forget about our precious baby Bruce Banner! When I first heard Hulk was gonna be in the movie I knew it would be great. His introduction was also amazing (Loki saying “I’ve gotta get off this planet” though?????) and I’m so glad I finally found out where he’d been all this time! I loved that we had a talking Hulk in this movie and that he could show other emotions besides “smash!” The scenes with Hulk and Thor in Hulk’s room were absolutely amazing! But Mark as Bruce was of course also amazing. I loved the fact how he went from “oh my god I’ve been the Hulk for two years? My absolute worst nightmare has come true omg no” to “yep imma cosplay Tony Stark for ya’ll! You see these tight pants? Ya I’m Tony Stark hi” And also, Bruce Banner has seven PhDs. Let that sink in for a moment. I barely graduated high school and I’m attempting college while this guy just casually strolls around WITH 7 PHDS.
Tumblr media
And these new character? OH MY GOD! When I first saw Valkyrie I was like “yas this is what I’m talking about” She’s so badass! I especially loved that her battle outfit wasn’t “revealing” or “sexy” like I’ve seen with many female warriors. And Korg oh my god I absolutely laughed my ass off with this guy! I really hope we see more of him in upcoming movies! What makes it even better is knowing that Taika actually played him. And Hela? Man, I loved her! I’d seen Cate Blanchett in LORT (duh, also one of my all time favs), and a few other films and I was quite surprised to hear she’d joined the MCU but my god did she do an amazing job! Isn’t she also absolutely gorgeous?! And Hela, oh my god. I almost screamed out for the entire cinema “SISTER? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SISTER? HOLY SHIT!” she was an amazing villan. And to have her kill off the warriors three, just like that?! I thought it was brutal and I hated to see them go (Zach Levi is bae okay) but it was a great way of showing how powerfull she was and what kind of impact she was going to have on Asgard!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prepare because I’m about to hit you with a mad Jeff Goldblum appreciation post (I’ve been grinning like crazy knowing I got to write this)
Let’s talk about perhaps even my favourite thing about this movie: Jeff Goldblum. This is my favourite person on the planet, okay? My all time favourite movie (trilogy) is Jurassic Park and ever since that movie I have loved Jeff Goldblum. Watching him in interviews, you realise that every character he plays, somehow IS Jeff Goldblum. His acting is truly amazing so is his personality. If you are not familiar with his other work I strongly suggest you catch up! I cannot tell you how stoked I am to see him play Ian Malcolm again in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (but that’s a story for another time)
Tumblr media
By watching all these interviews for Thor:Ragnarok I got to know his personality more and I’ve come to love and respect him even more. The Grandmaster was a great character and earned quite a few laughs from the audiance. I loved his look and his personality in general. When he killed that one guy with his stick of disaster he made it seem so casual like “well, poof! He’s dead now!” It were lines like “I pardon you…from life!” and “Lord of thunder” that had me losing it and I want to thank Marvel for casting Jeff Goldblum, they could not have made a better choice.
Tumblr media
I think it’s pretty obvious that I loved this movie? Taika did an absolute amazing job! There was a lot of improv in this movie which turned out great! Ever since I saw Ghostbusters I was excited to see Chris Hemsworth do more comedy. The images, colours, music (that led zeppelin though???!!) it was all amazing! From the details in Hulk’s room to the once again the gorgeous Asgard!
There is so much more that I could say but I won’t because I’m already hitting 1.400 words so… If you haven’t seen it I strongly suggest you do! It really is worth the time and money, it also provides you with a good laugh, what more could you want?
Request are of course more then welcome ! (Reviews, imagines, headcanons, whatever do have another week of taking care of tiny little humans so it’ll be a while before I get them done!

30 Day Fandom Challenge
Welcome to day 6 Ladies and Gentlemen. As always I am gonna tag the amazingly talented @domsberto and then head back over into the world of the spooky and supernatural for this next one.
Day 6- True Blood
1) Favorite Character: Lafayette Reynolds
Tumblr media
Reason: Lafayette was freaking hilarious and a badass boss bitch. He had the funniest lines in the show and was savage at times. He was a very flamboyant character and I adore those types of characters. He trusted only a few people but was loyal as hell to the select few he let in his circle. When he actually had lover he was faithful and devoted to them, even in death in the case of Jesus. He had his demons but he handled them with grace and a sense of humor, not to mention lots of alcohol and weed. He was a medium which was pretty cool but it also lead to some disastrous situations (like stealing babies and killing the love of his life). I adore his relationship with his cousin, Tara, that borders more on that of siblings than cousins. He has no tolerance for ignorance or bullying, as seen when he put a table full of rednecks in their place for their gay slurs, and he backs up what he says. He is fully capable of handling himself in a fight and is just an all around amazing person.
Rest in Peace Nelsan Ellis! You are missed still to this day! ❤❤❤
2) Most Relatable Character: Hoyt Fortenberry
Tumblr media
Reason: Hoyt reminds me alot of Matt from Vampire Diaries, honestly. He is sweet and kind-hearted and according to Sookie, who can read minds, his thoughts are consistently kind and open compared to everyone else around her. He is also remarkably progressive toward vampires and other social outcasts. This is in stark contrast to his mother, Maxine, who was extremely prejudiced and judgmental of most people, humans and vampires alike. His lack of experience with, and high respect for, women makes him extremely shy around them. Unlike his best friend Jason Stackhouse, he has no desire for frivolous hook-ups, and remains a virgin until he meets and falls in love with the vampire Jessica Hamby. Whem we first meet Hoyt in the first season, he is bossed around by his mother, but begins to assert his independence as the show progressed. Throughout the series, his character development shifts from happy-go-lucky to a much more serious and emotional young man. I can relate to Hoyt because I tend to he shy around men and women I am attracted to because despite having been married for the past 13 years, I didn't really have much experience before I met my husband and I was really self conscious. I also get what it's like to have an overbearing mother and having to eventually put my foot down with her. Hoyt is also one of the most genuine and "normal" of all the characters in the show. This is why he is the most relatable.
3) Most Underrated Character: Godric
Tumblr media
Reason: Godric was only alive for one season and the fans grew to love him so much that after his suicide on the show, they wrote him into the show in later seasons as hallucinations and dreams that Eric, Sookie and sometimes Nora had. He is one of my favorite characters, quite possibly tied with Lafayette honestly. During his time on the show, Godric (who happens to be the maker of Eric Northman) was the Sheriff of the Dallas vampires and one of the oldest living vampires to date. He was a badass, as seen when he saves Sookie when she was almost raped and when he comes in to put an end to the fighting between vampires and the Fellowship of the sun. He was ruthless and a very capable leader, putting people in their place when need be (as seen when he banished Lorena from Dallas for causing trouble). He once lived by a moral code of "There is no right or wrong, only survival or death.", seeing humans as disposable and caring very little for human life. Humans were a means to an end until he grew older and began to relate more to humans. He came to realize that the human race's fear and hatred of vampires was well founded, and that he had contributed to it. He evolved over time and his wisdom and compassion grew. He is perhaps the best-natured vampire seen on the show.
He cared deeply for his progenies, Eric and Nora, and he was one of the few people who could turn Eric into an emotional mess (as seen when Godric decided to end his life). Godric was compassionate and kind but if you crossed him, he could snap your neck without even blinking or thinking twice. He was such an underrated character but I adored him so much.
4 & 5) Most Overrated Character & Least Favorite Character: Sookie Stackhouse
Tumblr media
Reason: So Sookie is the main character and honestly she annoys the hell out of me. She acts like your stereotypical trailer trash, you know the type. The kind of girl that gives us Southern girls a bad name? Yes that type. She had every guy in the show that wasn't gay or family chomping at the bit to try to get in her pants. She constantly found herself knee deep in trouble at every turn, "Must be a Thursday." to quote her. She toys with the boys who fall in love with her unintentionally and honestly she isn't the most attractive on the show to warrant so many male suitors. For a fairy with special powers, she has no idea what she is doing half the time and like Elena in Vampire Diaries, she often makes things worse and ends up having to be saved by someone who knows what they are doing. She is overrated and my least favorite character in the series, despite being the main character. While she has a few good qualities and some decent scenes sometimes, I really can't stand her.
Pam made a comment once that stands out “I am so over Sookie and her precious fairy vagina and her unbelievably stupid name! F*ck Sookie!”
6) Favorite Canon Pairing: Hoyt Fortenberry & Jessica Hamby [Close 2nd Honorable Mention- Lafayette Reynolds & Jesus Velasquez]
Tumblr media
Reason: Jessica and Hoyt were perfect for each other plain and simple. They both lost their virginity to each other (granted since Jessica was a virgin when she turned she never truly loses her virginity because her hymen keeps growing back) and had a sweet and loving relationship. When they ended things and she slept with his best friend, Jason, Hoyt was so distraught that he asked Jessica to glamor him into forgetting they had ever met and fallen in love before leaving town. They found their way back to each other in the final season and fell in love all over again as if they had never fallen apart to begin with and eventually got married before Jessica's maker, Bill, died. They had a beautiful and pure love that surpassed even memory wipes and I love them so much together.
7) Favorite Non-Canon Pairing: Eric Northman & Pamela "Pam" Swynford de Beaufont
Tumblr media
Reason: While Pam tended to lean more toward women most of the time it was implied time and time again that she and Eric had a romantic or sexual history together prior to him turning her into a vampire. The chemistry between Eric and Pam is amazing and goes well beyond that of the typical sire/progeny bond. They loved each other on a deep level, one could possibly consider the love that Eric and Pam had for each other agape which is the highest form of love that surpasses traditional romantic and sexual feelings toward a person. They had an unbreakable bond and even when Eric released her as his progeny, Pam still stayed at Eric's side no matter what the cost. I wish that they could have been a romantic couple in the canon universe but sadly that never happened. Their love for one another still lives on in the hearts of us fans to this day.
8) Least Favorite Pairing: Sookie Stackhouse & Bill Compton
Tumblr media
Reason: Besides the fact that I really can't stand Sookie, I loathed Sookie and Bill as a couple on the show. They were back and forth so much with their relationship that it made my head spin half the time and when they actually stayed together, the relationship itself was pretty boring compared to some of the other relationships on the show. Sookie could never make up her mind on exactly who it was she wanted to be with and that left her juggling Bill, Eric, Sam and Alcide before ending up with a faceless and nameless man by the end of the show. They had their good moments, don't get me wrong, that made me actually like them but then one of them would do or say something stupid and I would go back to loathing the ship as a whole. Though I will admit it was both heartbreaking and poetic when Sookie ended Bill's suffering in the end. I still feel like there are better couples on the show.
I will admit though that outside of the show I think Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have a beautiful marriage and beautiful children so my opinion doesn't reflect on the actors personally but rather their characters on the show.
9) Favorote Part/Moment: The Aids Burger Incident AKA Lafayette Vs The Ignorant Rednecks
Tumblr media
Reason: This scene is my favorite scene because first of all Lafayette was a savage and proved that he will not tolerate ignorance from anyone. He put the rednecks in their place when one of them sent back their food because they refused to eat it because "The burger might have Aids.", directly referencing Lafayette who was cooking that night who is openly gay. In that scene he took the burger back out to the customers and confronted them for their gay slur in one of the most epic manners possibly before shoving the "Aids Burger" in the man's face. He proved that he could handle himself in a fight when he kicked his friends' asses before delivering a final quip of "Tip Your Waitress" before walking away like the boss ass bitch he was, fist bumping and impressed Jason Stackhouse on his way back to the kitchen to finish his job. Lafayette was amazing in this scene and I have to give the late Nelsan Ellis credit for such an epic performance. I post a video of this once a year during Pride Month to show one of the most epic scenes of an openly gay man standing up for himself and fellow gay men against ignorant bigots. It was amazing. I will post the video directly following this post.
10) Least Favorite Part/Moment: The Entire F***ed up Billith Situation [Honorable Mentions: Godric's suicide- it was sad as hell but hauntingly beautiful, The Witches induce Amnesia on Eric, Marnie Possesses Lafayette and makes him kill the love of his life Jesus, Tommy Dies to Save Sam]
Tumblr media
Reason: My least favorite part was when Bill merged with the mother of all vampires, Lilith, to become this super powerful and equally psychotic vampire deemed "Billith". The entire situation was just stupid and you could tell that during that season the writers ran out of ideas for what to add into the show. It was far-fetched and pretty OP and that's why I consider this one of the worst parts of True Blood.
Back at you soon with today's post since I'm behind by a day.
