#ep 6 was so good!

[seafoamstatice]

I wonder if the trio are gonna keep up with the current season of their podcast? I was actually kinda surprised that they were doing it at all, the other three times they had specific reasons (In season 1 Oliver needed the the money and Mabel joined to figure out what happened to Tim, in season 2 they did it to clear their names, and in season 3 they wanted to get an innocent man out of jail). One of their first conclusions this season was that the shot might have been meant for Charles, not Sazz, and they worried that the killer was still out to get him. So wouldn't it be a really bad idea to broadcast to the world everything they did and didn't know? But in ep 4, they mention recording lines for the podcast. Since after the last episode they're extremely concerned for their safety and are freaked out that the killer is watching them, maybe they'll be forced to be more discreet, until some sort of development where releasing the podcast might help them in the case in some way.

GOOD OMENS + Aziraphale's excitement over his magic

[p4nishers]

Truth be told, when I realized Ambessa was for some reason super duper invested in Vi and wanted to kill her personally with no one around because she made Caitlyn "weak", and that THAT was somehow the big distraction that would save everyone. I had to pause the episode for a moment and stare at the wall asking myself who tf kidnapped the writing team and replaced them with aliens who have only the barest idea of what the show is about

So... Apparently UA s4 is a massive flop.... I'm not saying we need to start bullying* showrunners and writers and networks/streamers (*putting pressure on them to do right by beloved pieces of media with passionate fan bases so much so that they feel they'll get the guillotine if they do anything less than perfect and justice by the story/characters) but.... We need to start bullying showrunners and writers and networks/streamers again. These mfs have gotten too comfortable

this particular scene (and all the others like it that he pulls off) is why i will have to watch every single thing that war wanarat is in for the rest of my life:

like goddamn that fucking heart broken face at being asked to forgive him, knowing how much he hurt you and that you love him and will forgive him despite it all in the end. and then ending on let me think about it because you can't quite get yourself to verbalize any of this, to let the hurt go just yet.

i did not expect messy engineering bl i started just to have more yinwar b.w jack and joker to hurt me this bad.

This time, you need to help me more. However, you don't need to pay or use your looks. When the deed is done, name your price.

Nothing is stronger than the bond between a girl and a piece of media they brushed off 10 years ago that they now realized is the greatest thing ever made

I will save him no matter what. Of course.

Do Ha Na & So Mun The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch (2023)

I never expected this but. My new boss is goofy is actually really genuinely good. It's not just a silly comedy about a guy who's awkward but sincere. I mean, it is in part, but it's also so much more than that.

It takes the framing of a boss-employee relationship and uses it to not only tackle abuse in the workplace, but it utilises it as a metaphor for abusive relationships as well.

Episode 6 in particular is a fantastic example of this. The whole episode is named after a small moment where Momo and Kinjo are out eating lunch. Kinjo scrolls through his ensta (insta) page and names the people he's posted about in the past. He mentions some ex-girlfriends, and with the same nonchalantness, an ex-boyfriend. Kinjo's indifference about his own bisexuality catches Momo off-guard once again, and he dwells on the words "ex-boyfriend" until Kinjo snaps him out of it.

It's already clear as day in the rest of the episode, but by naming the whole episode after this moment, it drives home the (thinly veiled) metaphor of "abusive ex-boss" = "abusive ex-boyfriend".

—MEMORY IN THE LETTER · Episode 1

[doyou000me]

There's so many great scenes this week. Qian coming home drunk and, still unaware that he is the one that Yuan likes, tries to comfort Yuan; "Isn't it tiring to love him?" The work party, where Qian sorts things out with Ms Feng. Qian noticing that something is wrong with Yuan and immediately going to find him. The confrontation in the storage room. So, so many great scenes, but my favourite was this one:

"If he wants me to leave, the sooner the better, right?"

Yuan has always done what Qian has told him to do, be it joining activities at school or the running club - and now Qian wants him to leave, because Qian needs time and space to come to terms with the realisation that he is the one that Yuan has liked all along, and so Qian sends him away - and Yuan goes, becuase this is what Qian wants, it's what Qian needs, and it's what Qian asks of him. Yuan sacrifices himself by going, alone, to a foreign country across the world, where he knows noone, leaving behind his family and the promising future he's already started building with the game they developed - all so that Qian won't be the one to leave.

That's why the next scene hurts so much, because Yuan has already accepted that he's going to leave for New York - not for his own sake, not to move on, but for Qian. With Yuan out of the house, Qian can come home again, can stop sleeping at the office and can, hopefully, take better care of himself (thought Yuan has always been the one to stay by Qian's side and take care of him).

And so Yuan is the one who gets between them when Lili confronts Qian, Yuan is the one who protects Qian and the desicion to send Yuan away, Yuan is the one who pushes Qian to go on upstairs to spare him Lili's anger - because Yuan knows that Qian is suffering too, and wants to spare him any more pain.

When Qian gets to escape upstairs, Yuan stays with Lili and tries to comfort her, tries to turn the whole thing into something positive - for Lili and Qian both, so that at least the two of them will hopefully reconcile, to keep their little family from falling apart entirely, and to make sure that Lili will be there, with Qian, while Yuan is sent away.

"Qian is doing this for our sake."

And then the cut to the dark bedroom and crying and are you crying with me yet???

There's a reason why Neo worked out his ass off to play Boston and it's because he would have just as many "outfit" changes as Ray if I put every time he was shirtless in a scene.
